The situation we are in is less than ideal. I'll throw out my thoughts but I don't want them to detract from a Kilava vote.

Anthras seems to defend Kilava a lot. Overtly. Why? What vested interest does Anthras have in doing this? Is he fake symping in order for us to vote Kilava? Is he being obvious so that we will discount him? Anthras has come across as scummy for his non vote yesterday. Why not vote? He forgot or He did it on purpose. This sets up today us looking at Spite or Monok. It doesn't make us look at Kilava. :/ It's confusing.

So my worry here is that Anthras is scum.

Trake hasn't done anything overtly outrageous as anthras. He did have the early run in with kilava which could be seen as distancing. Planning out and early spat so that they will have been seen as discussing things on thread together. Trake was absent for most of day two and three which goes in his favour. It's hollow if he is scum and ends up winning because of this. What goes against him is that he hasn't committed to a case. Why is he not making cases? I'm not going to check his voting but usually what he has been doing is shooting down the dumb things I've said. Quite frankly he has been a negative town player this game. Does that equal scum?

Pallid, Spite, Monok, Denul have been what I would call non enitities. That is they have voted and ventured an opinion or two on who is going to be lynched but not stuck their necks out at all. How can you condemn any of these to scum? I like the fact that I can identify these players as town but if one of them ended up scum it would royally piss me off. Except in one case. If Kilava was their partner. Just wipe this out for a second though. When we have 3 maybe 4 days before we could lose it is a bit mean that scum choose to lie low like this. Always other options will come available. One or two may be lynched Kalse for example but we normally get it wrong.

Kilava has been around most of the time. He has voted and pointed fingers this way and that. He has been nice enough to near enough every player. Even when he called me a tosspot he did it in a nice way. People bandied the smooth argument at him. He has defended himself near enough every single day. He has been the main protagonist in many town's death. Most people that have accused him are dead. Anthras has defended him on more than one occasion. So has Trake. Yet he has been active. I think he is either scum or set up by a clever Anthras Trake partnership.

Trake's negative town play bothers me. I would vote for him today. I want to know what other's think.

Right now I feel like I'd rather lose the game responding to scummy behaviour/poor play from town than lose the game for ignoring it.


Very much in the same boat.

I just can't see how we can ignore something like a no lynch that happens because one person fucks off leaving their vote elsewhere and another chooses not to hammer himself. If we lose because town decided to play like that, there's sod all to be done about it, we have to follow up the strongest indication of scum, and at the moment, my opinion is that the no lynch is the most sound evidence we've had by a clear margin.


You and Anthras BOTH screwed around not wanting to vote for me until it looked like there was no choice. You finally swap to me, Anthras claims he didn't make it back in time but probably just didn't want to be the hammer, Monok drops the potential hammer vote a while after the day ended and said he didn't realize it was too late, and you go all out trying to convince me to kill myself. That entire scenario was messed up, and I'm the least worrisome of it, and you're focusing on me? You're doing a complete 180 from how you played the game at first and now. Are you so close to your win that you're willing to keep saying it was the wrong play to not kill myself? I'm not messing with you when I say I honestly can't believe you're trying to convince me I should have killed myself, when that single action could save the game for town. You've changed the way you've played and thought here near the end. I don't like it, Kilava. I wanted to trust you the whole game. I helped sway the lynch to Kalse over you because I felt you were more likely town, but now I just can't trust you. I'm hoping we lynch you, but if we don't and we still lynch a killer and you are part of that, then maybe I could believe you, but you could always throw your partner under the bus. We should of listened to everyone else that worried over you and are now dead.


Even if Kilava does turn out to be scum, you still should have hammered yourself. If you turn out to be scum I'll understand, but if you're inno Imma fucking pissed. As a direct result of your refusal to contribute to your lynch we now have to consider that you may be scum on D-Day. If you're innocent you're just a distraction during the most important game in the day. As town you're supposed to do what's best for town, even if that means contributing to leaving the game early yourself.


Be pissed then! Because I sure as heck am. This is stupid. If I was scum, I'd want that town to kill himself. If I'm town, I don't want another town to kill himself, no way. I don't see me ever being in a situation, where I know my faction is town/innocent, that I would want to kill myself. So how is it that someone is supposed to learn this? Where does it say this? I don't think you're scum, but I do Kilava, so I don't get your angle here. I've looked everywhere to see if Kilava was telling the truth, because this is a huge factor in who I feel I should vote for. His prodding me to kill myself is what seems to be his big slip up, in my opinion. I feel like he's covering for his action by taking up this argument and trying to play it off as common mafia knowledge. Well there's nothing but debate over this topic everywhere I look. Google this yourself. Nearly every site either condemns it, of is trying to figure it out themselves. After the game I'll look into it even further, but I'm not buying something that goes against all the logic I have, and nearly every site I goto.

What about you, Denul? Do you actually believe this to be true yourself, or are you defending Kilava? It just seems like you could be defending him. For the sake of argument, assume I was dead. How do you see Kilava? Is he not scummy to you, and if not, who are your top choices for scum. You haven't really told us much about how you've felt in this game. You've just coasted by saying very little. You spoke up about Thyr, but that's it. If you think I'm scum fine, but who is my partner? Do you see someone as a possible symp? Come on, tell us what you think besides just bashing on the rest of us for putting ourselves out there.

This is from a website about mafia tactics.

" Do not go gently into that good night.

Lynching a Townie is a bad thing in general, but lynching a confirmed Townie is worse. To yourself, you ARE a confirmed Townie. While getting lynched is not the end of the world, the fact is that getting lynched is the one thing you can guarantee will hinder your faction. Do not acquiesce to your lynch unless it would be clearly anti-Town to do otherwise (although those situations are not common).

Along these same lines, the occasions where it's pro-Town to self-hammer as Town are extremely limited, and offing yourself out of spite toward the (evident) morons who are about to lynch you isn't one of those occasions. Even if the wagon on you is mostly Town, you still have to win with them in the end, so stay helpful."

Are the uncommon and extremely limited times a town hammers themselves every single time the lynch is needed? If so, then why don't they say that? Also, if it's so rare, when does one learn? In the end, it could be written in a million different places, even though it's not written hardly anywhere, and I still disagree.

We aren't a single step closer to figuring this out as we were yesterday. Yesterday, it got late, I had two votes, and another added there's , not because they felt I was scum but because we needed a lynch. We are doing so good, right? Kilava and Anthras acted like they didn't even want to vote for me for whatever reason, and Kilava finally switched only last minute to get the lynch. He also didn't think I was scum, or at least wasn't saying it. So instead of getting lynched, which was obviously not even one of our most thought out choices anyway, I live. I live, thinking what a good turn of events for both me and town and then get attacked because I didn't believe it was in our best interest to hammer myself. Kilava seems to me to be the scum trying to appear helpful, but pulling strings and directing lynches. He doesn't really have any decent cases on town so he comes up with this. He hasn't voted for me, and hasn't said he would do so. No one else has expressed desires to vote for me, so this isn't about votes. It's about not getting bullied and following through on what I thought was right, but none of this matters to anyone.

remove vote
vote Spite


There. Lynch me, then you guys can hunt scum and win, right. I lost all interest. I wish I had died now. I'm still not accepting blame after the game. Have fun.


A day to late emo boy. Now it is D-day.

So if I have read your rambling right. Everyones play bothers you except for your own and you would be fine voting anyone off of the island. Wow well done symp boy. Once again you have came on the board and managed to point fingers at every single person. Reading your posts is starting to lower my IQ.

You read them wrong sonny Jim.

Trake, Anthras and Kilava my 3 main suspects. The only ones worth voting.

Honestly at this point. If Kilava is scum I would rather that he won then for me to win it with you on my side. I don't think that he is scum though. I think that some of the other 4 people who you have decided are town are in fact not.

Kilava. That's not what I've said at all. I know that getting a lynch is better than not getting a lynch, (although since I've been tearing the mafia rules a part I see here where it suggests that getting a lynch benefits town always in the earlier days, but can actually hurt town near the end under certain situations. I'm not saying our situation applied, but I am saying our situation was different, in that we lost Ryadd to mod-kill, and yeah it says a lynch is better than a no lynch, because it implies town needs to use the chance to ATTEMPT to hit a scum. I had more information than your theory suggests. I KNOW my faction, and I was in a spot to either hammer myself at the prodding of possible scum, or not kill another town, from where I stood. This part where it says lynching is better than not lynching isn't mentioning a town hammering themselves in the best interest for town. I don't see this anywhere, and I've never heard of this theory, and even if it is considered the best play by some, it would be super advanced stuff for hypothetical situations that hardly ever happen, as I've never once seen a town need one more vote and therefore lynched themselves. I'm not buying it.


Lynching is better than not lynching for a variety of reasons. Knowing you are inno doesn't really come into it. Town need to play as a unit. For any given lynch on an inno, that person always knows they are inno. It is still in towns best interest to lynch them. Just because you know you are inno doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing is in towns best interest, which is getting a lynch over a no lynch.

In this situation though how does it help us further? If Spite was lynched and came up innocent

- would you know today who scum is?

As he wasn't lynched do you now think him more likely scum?

- If not then isn't it good that he is still around?

The fact is, even if it is a relatively uncommon situation where town might need to hammer themselves, the situation (i.e, we're about to get a no lynch which are terrible for town) should be pretty obvious to a town player. Anyone who is considering "what is best for town at this point", faced with a no lynch, is going to self hammer.

I am not talking about the "rule" as in text book. I am talking about the "rule" in this context. Yes I understand your maths but if you think, as I do, that Spite is innocent then how would that help us narrow scum today?

This isn't a normal situation though is it? It isn't like we have lots of content to sift through to link the players. Spite's death/CF would not point towards an indivual or pairing.

Please logically justify how having you around is more helpful. The extra inno you keep talking about makes zero difference, and in fact statistically hinders us. Do you really think having someone around who had a no lynch in really suspicious circumstances is going to help the town, more than having a CF and being able to move onto other things?



Logically? If he is town and knows he is town then that is one more town to help us lynch. If he dies then WCS state that there are 3 scum ready to manipulate the thread against 4 town. Now we Have 5 town against 3 scum.

Not only that but if Spite CF's as town then what can you glean from that? It is not like he has had much interaction with the remaining players.

I can see your point about the odd/even rule if it was like you and I up for the lynch, or someone that have had cases cast against them but left behind, like Trake/Pallid. THAT would give us information and help us a lot more. The fact that he didn't hammer himself is a good point in his favour. Why didn't anyone else hammer him? To use that confusion. That is why. Trake/Anthras and whoever else didn't vote. Trake gets the benefit of the doubt because of RL reasons. Anthras has no excuse. You Kilava Pussy footed around with him anmd in the end there was no lynch. It is not like we had a very productive day. Garnering discussion with only 4 hours to go is fucking bad and you should know that any lynch was worth it at that stage. Once the votes went on Spite that should have been that. Not bringing up new cases like Anthras did, or voting Monok like you did.


Jesus, I'm really having to argue why lynch is better than no lynch? :(

Spite CF'ing inno would have reduced the suspect pool. It would've given us info on him, and Anthras notably, given Anthras' no vote. Lynches give info. His may not have been the most info heavy but that's because for most of the game he's been completely coasting along, until under pressure.

If there is the confusion from someone else not hammering him, he leaves us open to that exact confusion. With a CF, we would have a much better idea of how to look at the people who didn't hammer him. The most obvious connection with the lack of a hammer is Anthras being Spite's symp. If we knew all Spite was inno, that wouldn't even be an issue.

I'd made it very clear I was around to vote spite.

As you say, any lynch was worth it at that point. Any inno would know that. Except apparently Spite.

Spite wouldn't be there as a distraction.

Better numbers statistically (even if you think he's inno, you have to accept that not everyone does.
Helpful for looking at the Anthras situation.

Lynch is better than no lynch, regardless of if you think they're inno.

People can vote me, lynch me, or whatever, but it wasn't cool trying to put our screw up all on my shoulders for not killing myself.


Yeah, not saying it was all you. The problem was a general lack of activity, combined with you and Anthras not taking the chance to avert the no lynch problem.

Kilava. That's not what I've said at all. I know that getting a lynch is better than not getting a lynch, (although since I've been tearing the mafia rules a part I see here where it suggests that getting a lynch benefits town always in the earlier days, but can actually hurt town near the end under certain situations. I'm not saying our situation applied, but I am saying our situation was different, in that we lost Ryadd to mod-kill, and yeah it says a lynch is better than a no lynch, because it implies town needs to use the chance to ATTEMPT to hit a scum. I had more information than your theory suggests. I KNOW my faction, and I was in a spot to either hammer myself at the prodding of possible scum, or not kill another town, from where I stood. This part where it says lynching is better than not lynching isn't mentioning a town hammering themselves in the best interest for town. I don't see this anywhere, and I've never heard of this theory, and even if it is considered the best play by some, it would be super advanced stuff for hypothetical situations that hardly ever happen, as I've never once seen a town need one more vote and therefore lynched themselves. I'm not buying it.


Lynching is better than not lynching for a variety of reasons. Knowing you are inno doesn't really come into it. Town need to play as a unit. For any given lynch on an inno, that person always knows they are inno. It is still in towns best interest to lynch them. Just because you know you are inno doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing is in towns best interest, which is getting a lynch over a no lynch.



In this situation though how does it help us further? If Spite was lynched and came up innocent

- would you know today who scum is?

As he wasn't lynched do you now think him more likely scum?

- If not then isn't it good that he is still around?


If he was lynched and came up as inno then we wouldn't have to spend today talking about him. Not lynching does nothing but muddy the waters and allow scum the opportunity to hide. Much like your random accusation bulllshit that you call posting.

The fact is, even if it is a relatively uncommon situation where town might need to hammer themselves, the situation (i.e, we're about to get a no lynch which are terrible for town) should be pretty obvious to a town player. Anyone who is considering "what is best for town at this point", faced with a no lynch, is going to self hammer.


This isn't a normal situation though is it? It isn't like we have lots of content to sift through to link the players. Spite's death/CF would not point towards an indivual or pairing.


It would have if he was scum. But now we are potentially at D-day and are having to talk about fucking spite and his nonlynch.
