I agree with you that it is likely there will be only two scum, but I have a question. Why would you say there were 8 players in the game?

If I was to look at that as a slip, it would suggest you have been spending all your time thinking about the remaining 8 of us and forgot to include yourself + your ally.

That was a very bad mistake, I blame it on tiredness. My answer is that I was talking on the assumption that no one new had signed up after I last checked the sign up thread. On my last check Khell and HD had not signed on.
However, I agree that my mistake is as a good as any reason to lynch on Day1.

I know its a game with a unusually large number of low posters but even so, this stretches credulity further than I am willing to go on Day 1. The number of players was in the start of game post and both time updates on thread made before you posted it.

How is it thread blindness. I saw that post. Does it mean I took him for his word that that is what it stood for? I thought he was creating his own meaning. I just "Googled" the letters and it does indeed come up with that meaning. How does it have a place in a mafia alt on this Malazan site? I have no idea.

Have you ever played a game called "Balderdash"?

I play this game frequently and a part of it has an abbreviation element. Basically a player gets a card with an abbreviation and its meaning. Everyone else just gets the abbreviation. They all write down what they think other people will think the abbreviation means. The person who knows the answer will read each card.

SPQR Standard Practice Querying Riots

SPQR Special Partnership of the Queens Road

SPQR Sizzling Pork Quiche Recipe

SPQR Speed Paraphernalia Quitters Rally

SPQR Senate and People of Rome

If no one guesses the correct answer the person with the card moves 2 spaces. For each guess of your answer you move one space, so if everyone guesses your answer (in this instance) you'd move up to 4 spaces.

Anyway

Vote SPQR

If we suppose 8 town 2 scum setup (which is most likely IMO) then odds are that both of them are on the train, unlikely they have the ability to coordinate 1 on 1 off in such a small game (again IMO)

On train: Gait, Pallid, Trake, Cast, Fener, Merrid
Off train: Jalan, Hanas

Scum are more motivated than town to get a lynch on any player that isn't them, and they think (or know) is unlikely to be on their team.

So this game is off to a bang up start. A conversation about the virtues of editing.

In order to get the ball rolling I am going to vote for Merrid. Why you ask? Because in this post he indicates that town should be able to explain away mistakes.

A) A member of town should make no mistakes because they are town.

The last game was Dresden 2.0 and there where no lynches based on slips.

Vote Merrid

I do not like your memory. Day2 lynch was Korbas because he answered a post which was addressed to Korvalain.

That wasn't really a slip. Tatts didn't care about that alt.

Why are you trying to defend Merrid. If he is town he should be able to do that himself.

I'm gonna have to side with the people who've already called you out on this - yes, there was a slip, mistake, whatever you want to call it, and it was a bad one. It's odd to try and accuse SPQR of defending Merrid over something which is just being pointed out to you as what actually happened.

Early distancing or trying to get PS to do your dirty work for you?


Jokes aside, I am in for the no editing posts again, that was the best part of the last game.

Might also be interesting that Lock decides to go after Merrid as the "discussion pushing vote". Merrid, who Fener had already poked at seemingly jokingly.

Suggests tenuous link between myself and Lock

Also for being an abnormal alt. We don't take kindly to differents around these parts.

After the slip he is the first to vote, makes no additional opinions or comments beyond a joking "just because" reason that he could hide behind and switch off from if the vote went another way?

When was the last time a town player legitimately "didn't make any mistakes"? I know I fumble around like a fucktard 99% of the time.

But whatevs.

One more disagreeing with Lock's approach

Trake, on 02 September 2014 - 09:16 PM, said:

And I agree with that in principal, but pressure based on nothing nets just that much. It's why Day 1 lynches are, well, day 1 lynches.

I'd rather lynch a low poster than either of your votes right now, but of the two Jalan's has more merit.

8 minutes after SPQR mentions only 8 players, probably just missed it. States he is more likely to go for a low poster than anyone else and prefers Jalan (why?)

We can take a look at why you are defending Merrid by attacking his attacker. For a discussion vote Merrid sure has people starting to come out of the wood work to defend him. Why is that? Is he not capable of demonstrating his innocence?

Since that people would include me and Gait at the least, I think the problem here is you. The probability of us having 3 scum in a game with 8 players is really small.

So, all three of the people you are implying are scum cannot be scum. I believe that means at least one of us is town. I would say that shows how good your accusations were. I do applaud your sentiments in trying to engage the thread though.

I would like a low-poster lynch today.(low poster relatively .. ) Because with this great a number of people declaring low poster in the sign ups thread, I would prefer to kill one of them off early on to stop scum hiding among them later on.

Because with this great a number of people declaring low poster in the sign ups thread,

That's also a good point. The opportunity to not post anything, while hiding behind one of the low post comments on signup might be a good strategy. Even though I am not sure if scum would keep quiet as low posters do bring about attention, especially early in game with little and not detailed evidence.

So Pallid, Cast, can you guys give us something since it does seem like a lower poster might be a safer choice right now.

No comment on the slip from SPQR, again probably just missed it. Wants to hear more from low posters but doesn't feel the need to vote for them. Oh wait;

Hanas, on 03 September 2014 - 03:16 AM, said:

This might be an interesting slip up on his part but doesn't necessarily mean what Fener has stated. Seems to me that mistakes like that can make someone an easy target. We will have to see the reply to the accusation, if it comes. Out of the voted I will have to go for Cast for now as well as there hasn't been anything from him since the introduction.

Vote Cast

Doesn't see the slip as worth voting until SPQR defends himself, chooses to vote for Cast because he hasn't turned up yet. No posts after to change his vote before the lynch.

Jalan is a non-entity at the moment, and Hanas is playing pretty level headed, disagree with him about the cast vote and failing to switch onto SPQR.

You're being a little bit twee, stop it. As above, sarcasm. Because I don't rate low poster hunting in a game of acknowledged low-posters on Day 1. Day 2 or 3, maybe fine but only when there is nothing else to go on. The slip by SPQR was worth investigating. Lets not rule out the potential symp angle as mentioned - one killer and a symp is a potential game combo meaning he still thought that there was 8 town.

Lets take a super-fast look at you Gait. Smack bang in the middle number of posts and first vote on SPQR. Hunting for a case to divert from yourself there? Eager to get town following your lead?

[Jalan]

Howdy folks, I'm around, haven't had a chance to have a really good look at the thread, but there doesn't seem to be much to Day 2 yet. I have some actual work to do today, so have to concentrate on that for now, but I'll keep poking in and out when I can, and will certainly take some time to really look at the thread later today!

Are we supposed to know what SPQR stands for? It has to be something Malazan. It is interesting what Fener said. Going to see what he says first. That vote for cast out of no where rings some bells. Ie he has been mentioned as a low poster but that's not much to start a train on when the thread is wanting more from SPQR

Really?

SPQR might be a slip but Merrid is seriously tempting my vote for thread blindness

Nice to see people are going down the low poster route on D1. Same for D2 & D3?

Yes I'm low posting. I will continue to do so.

Wow, thanks for the participation there, real helpful. And already covering your defence for the next few days (heh, and also seems to suggest that you reckon you'll be around on D3)? Unless something comes up today, this will be where my vote goes methinks.


And I see you're nicely ensconced in the middle of the lynch train too.

You're being a little bit twee, stop it. As above, sarcasm. Because I don't rate low poster hunting in a game of acknowledged low-posters on Day 1. Day 2 or 3, maybe fine but only when there is nothing else to go on. The slip by SPQR was worth investigating. Lets not rule out the potential symp angle as mentioned - one killer and a symp is a potential game combo meaning he still thought that there was 8 town.

Lets take a super-fast look at you Gait. Smack bang in the middle number of posts and first vote on SPQR. Hunting for a case to divert from yourself there? Eager to get town following your lead?

OMGUS much? I think it's pretty safe to say if I hadn't pointed you out you wouldn't be posting anything of note at all, just waiting for the rest of us to do any work. Ever thought of commenting on something not to do with you? Ah no, my bad, that would be a townie thing to do.

To complete Fener's analysis, here are the posts which stood out for me regarding Fener:

Can we not have a no editing rule again? I liked that.

Checking in.

Trying to change the rules post hoc so that Trake is automatically modkilled huh?

Early distancing or trying to get PS to do your dirty work for you?


Jokes aside, I am in for the no editing posts again, that was the best part of the last game.

Already mentioned this before in relation to Lock's pressure on Merrid. We now know Lock wasn't a killer at least, so I can at least break from that line of thought. Still, this is the first dig at someone in the game, jokey or not.

See that is a little bit of prodding. If Fener (who is probably scum due to him being Fener. You heard it here first) had actually bother to vote and engage rather then just do a mildly retarded smiley face then you might be on to something.

We can take a look at why you are defending Merrid by attacking his attacker. For a discussion vote Merrid sure has people starting to come out of the wood work to defend him. Why is that? Is he not capable of demonstrating his innocence?

Since that people would include me and Gait at the least, I think the problem here is you. The probability of us having 3 scum in a game with 8 players is really small.

So, all three of the people you are implying are scum cannot be scum. I believe that means at least one of us is town. I would say that shows how good your accusations were. I do applaud your sentiments in trying to engage the thread though.

I would like a low-poster lynch today.(low poster relatively .. ) Because with this great a number of people declaring low poster in the sign ups thread, I would prefer to kill one of them off early on to stop scum hiding among them later on.

Have I missed something here?

I agree with you that it is likely there will be only two scum, but I have a question. Why would you say there were 8 players in the game?

If I was to look at that as a slip, it would suggest you have been spending all your time thinking about the remaining 8 of us and forgot to include yourself + your ally.

Fener is the one who notices the 8 players/10 players slip by SPQR. Now that SPQR has come back RI, should we be asking if Fener noticed it because they are the ones who are diabolically focused on how many scum versus town there are?

That was a very bad mistake, I blame it on tiredness. My answer is that I was talking on the assumption that no one new had signed up after I last checked the sign up thread. On my last check Khell and HD had not signed on.
However, I agree that my mistake is as a good as any reason to lynch on Day1.

I know its a game with a unusually large number of low posters but even so, this stretches credulity further than I am willing to go on Day 1. The number of players was in the start of game post and both time updates on thread made before you posted it.

Vote SPQR

Fener doesn't vote on SPQR straight away, but waits to see which way the wind blows first. Or, to put it in a less hostile, more kindly fashion, they wait for SPQR to provide some kind of explanation first, which they then did not like.

SPQR is lynched. He was Mold, a member of the House of Decay Board of Directors, RI, and EmperorMagus.

Lock is dead. He was Blot, a member of the House of Decay Board of Directors, RI, and Vengy.


Scenes may be added when I wake up in a couple of hours.

If we suppose 8 town 2 scum setup (which is most likely IMO) then odds are that both of them are on the train, unlikely they have the ability to coordinate 1 on 1 off in such a small game (again IMO)

On train: Gait, Pallid, Trake, Cast, Fener, Merrid
Off train: Jalan, Hanas

Scum are more motivated than town to get a lynch on any player that isn't them, and they think (or know) is unlikely to be on their team.

Not an unreasonable assumption by any stretch of the imagination, but this does have a little whiff of trying to direct our 'train' of thought (har har). Still, I am inclined to agree.
