You folks keep bringing up the "he posted right after X happened...he must be (insert bad lynchable offense here)"

After the first incident I think people would be smart enough to cloak their actions. But maybe I am giving people too much credit.


You're giving too much credit.

I mean look at it right now:

[...]

G12P - 3 magic for a price of 1000 dinari each.
G13A- 1 slave for 500 Dinari
G14B- 1 glass for 1500 Dinari
G15C- 1 monument for 1000 dinari
G16D- 2 gemstones for 1000 dinari each
G17E- 2 water for 1500 dinari wholesale
G18F- 2 water for 1500 dinari wholesale
G19G- 1 foundation for 2000 dinari
G20V - 3 Worship for a price of 2000 dinari wholesale.

[...]




Someone put up everything from G13 to G19 and didn't even bother to disguise it - same formats (no space before the hyphen) and lettered sequetially.

People aren't as subtle as you think!


That wasn't my point. We still don't know who put up those goods. My point was that to insinuate it was someone who posted close to the same time as when those goods went up..well, I don't buy that as a valid point. Thats all I am saying. If you want to use it to build a case on someone, fine, but I shall fart in the general direction of your case and taunt you a second time.


Yeah, I agree with this. The person posting those goods doesn't have to be posting on thread, you know. Regardless of how obvious they want to be about being linked to selling multiple goods, it doesn't tell us anything about who put them up, and neither does the posting/timing of posting on thread.



I saw that list of goods too. The people who came on to post right around that time were Ruse, Tulas, and Galain. Tulas is making a fuss about it not meaning anything, so it was probably him who posted those ;)


LOL. Didn't we just go over this? B)

Also, people being misleading on thread is one of my pet peeves, so I'll continue this line of reasoning by pointing out that actually Olar Ethil brought it up first and I just agreed with him.

You also missed the fact that Olar showed up EXACTLY as the goods were posted. ;) Fool.

I don't think people posting will have too much of an indication of what they sell. I like the interaction on thread at the moment, there was even a vote on Tellan, not with a very convincing case, it suggests that someone has done a find of some sort the night before and knows someone is not on their faction

What are you talking about. you guys were talking about items on the bazaar well before I arrived. (Not that that means anything...which is entirely my point!!!)

We were talking about this invalid contract of Atrahal's back then but then right when you posted, someone listed like 10 separate goods. But yeah, I agree with you, just proving a point. B)

Tulas Shorn was a little slow to the game but he has sure made up for it today. Stirring it up against Ruse and Atrahal. Me Likes

I'm thinking most of the trouble with getting a lynch going is that most people are afraid of making cases on someone else because in doing so it will give something away about themselves that can make you a target by eveyone in that alliance.

Right now I think the best way to make cases are to target those that are likely to have night kill abilites ala normal mafia. Else those of us with non lethal roles will get slaughtered.

Since this is the approach I'm going to take I think it's time to start putting pressure on a few people and get this game more like mafia. Tellan was a very slippery devil yesterday. He was around and posted quite a bit but didn't really want to contribute to the discussion much. So I'm thinking he wants to lay low and not give too much away because he thinks that he can best take out his enemies in the evening. So Tellan what are you hiding? Some kick ass night kill abilities where you just want to lay low and hide and take down your enemies behind the scenes?

vote tellan

we've got to start somewhere.


This looks to be the last post of real content so I'm going to go back through Tellan's posts as soon as I have time.

See? 7 people lurking on the thread and not one of them says anything. In any regular mafia game people would be all over me for such a callous vote but here not even a peep. Pshaw I'm going to get a taco or something...

No I didn't. I was just highly suspicions of his play style. He has posted more than most if I recall but has given away the least in my opinion. That is someone that I would like to get a better read on so I want some pressure put on him so he actually talks. I have no idea if he is on my team or not. I actually have a few others I have a better read on than most but that is only because they actually have talked on thread.

We could have a repeat of yesterday and just agree to vote off the low posters but end up lynching nobody but that makes for a very unfun non productive way to go about this game. Plus it doesn't give us much information. I admit I don't have any kind of case other than to accuse someone of playing all smooth so he must be a super ninja assassin big burly warrior I can kill you all at night character. The only other players I can put a case on would be based on meta which I think we have spent enough time on today.

I've been slammed and I had hoped that I could do a reread to put some more notes on some people but It's just not in the cards for me today. But since the thread is so dead there isn't a whole lot more I can pick up anyway I'm afraid.

I think we just get on with lynching Tellan and then have his CF to work off will be very helpful for improving content and livening up the thread so I'm all for it

So day 1 behavior, basically. I think this might be necessary...or you have vote manipulation abilities that you don't want to go to waste.
