Attention town, please read this.
I was writing my thoughts out earlier for PS. I will take the meta out, this was when I was asking Pallid about the game as a whole. (I do not know if this was before or after Nim made his comment, I think it was before).
Quote
My current thoughts;
9 players are alive: Ampelas, Atrahal, Barghast, Denul, Eloth, Galayn Lord, Kaschan, Nimander Golit, Pallid
I guess I need to open up my trust and distrust of players.
Acting most town like;
Ampelas - gut says town but head says scum
Galayn Lord - 50/50
Atrahal gut says he is town
Acting scummy
Pallid - Gut says he is town
Kaschan - gut says he is town
Eloth - gut says he is town/will cf as town
Nimander - possible scum
Meh
Barghast - possible scum
If I was scum;
Amp, playing a good scum game, because he is playing a good town game, I need to look at interactions
GL has revealed BP, its gone. Watch this space, early doors RP, swings me towards town.
Atrahal, early play smacked of scummy, disappeared for a while, missed end of day 2, dis interested, unless he felt threatened. His name cropped up today and he has appeared again. I guess he would be more involved if he was scum, unless his partners doing the work for him.
Pallid, is quite a scary little monkey. Say something he dislikes and you're getting it in the neck. He is a bit too aggressive to be scum, as that can get you lynched because it creates a negative aura.
Kaschan, he is going to coast through to the end. I hope he is town and will pull his finger out of his arse late game. Based on his play it is negative for town. He has received little to no heat all game. If he is scum he is surviving with very little effort.
Eloth, he was about to be lynched and revealed healer. I have to go with town, but if he was scum then he has done it perfectly so far, as he escapes the lynch, casts doubt across the whole thread. I think he could be symp.
Look, there are two killers out there and a symp.
The game as a whole I have to look at Amp as a master killer. His second could be anyone but if I had to put a guess it will be Nimander. The whole vote of Nimander vindicates Amp somewhat, I think scum must be looking towards end game and if he votes for Nim, it clears him because he HAS looked at him.
Then Nim comes on and OMGUS' amp? Other possible partner for Amp could be Atrahal maybe.
So I have these thoughts, and as you see up above, my response to Atrahal, I have not revealed my other theory.
Now just read this post, from my point of view.
Ampelas, on 29 May 2014 - 01:11 PM, said:
It's not ENTIRELY improbable that all those roles exist in this game. Vig of any type tends to kill town more often than not, and I'm guessing the BP and Heal both would not save anyone since it was a day vig. Guard and Finder are generally the more powerful town roles anyways, and if THOSE exist as well, then yeah, someone is lying. (I am NOT suggesting anyone else reveal)
At this point, I feel it is in our interest to figure out what lynch brings us the most information.
We have a Barghast non-lynch yesterday, and no NK. GL claims BP was hit, Eloth claims he healed me.
A Barghast lynch today:
If scum, that makes Nimander a top suspect, and also gives us two trains to compare. Also people ignoring a stalled lynch and pushing elsewhere become more suspicious. If innocent, it makes Nimander look a little better and doesn't really tell us much beyond speculating what scum might be on his train (yes, including me).
A Nimander lynch today:
If scum, makes Barghast look suspicious and PI's some people who have pushed for him when there was no other support. If inno, then it means I was wrong on my suspicions and I feel casts Denul in an interesting light considering he went after Nimander right away, rather than Barghast.
A Denul lynch today:
If scum, makes me look foolish and scummy for defending him. Tons of stuff on thread by him though, so there might be something to glean. If he's inno, doesn't really do much for us unless he's the symp.
An Eloth lynch today:
If scum, same as Denul - makes me look bad for defending him. If he's inno, at best he could be a symp, but I think it would point to certain people who pushed for what I feel is a bad lynch for today.
Personally, I am fine with returning to Mafia 101 and finishing a lynch that stalled. If Barghast is scum, and we let him go a second day, the screams from SH will echo for weeks. And he provides some info. I mean, if we really want to get into "OMG WIFOM DISTRACTIONS", then certainly Barghast would qualify as someone to vote for as well. Sure, why isn't Eloth dead? is a valid issue, but also, why wasn't Barghast lynched? Where'd Nimander go? Or was there someone else who was online, but just laid low?
I have to say, if scum have a plan then Amp is putting it forward himself.
I think we should lynch Amp today. If not I would be up for voting Nimander.
Remove Vote
Vote Ampelas
At the end of the day, I only had it as a theory until Amp made this post. Hence the alarm bells ringing.
