Yeah, I'm symp-y McSymperson, and by chance all of my three masters have dark coloured avatars so I just thought I'd point that out on thread!
[/sarcasm]
This would be the greatest overt signal of all time

Not only calling yourself a symp, but also using tags which aren't really tags (i.e. not really sarcasm). Of course, you ruined it all by naming people who are now mostly dead. Boo.
Or, you know, symping Ampelas. Although that's a whole different direction to what I'm looking at at the moment.

Osseric makes a bit of a song and dance about voting at the end of day 1, asking for other people's opinions, asking questions they know the answer to (vote count), but eventually laying down the same vote as everyone else. Barghast dying also vindicates them regarding their doubt about that train also. What they say regarding the Barghast/Rashan cases were certainly valid doubts, I don't really have a problem with that. It's more how it's spread over a series of posts as if to highlight how they struggle with an eventual Rashan vote.
How does this feel now Osseric is dead, Thyr?

Okay, so I am sceptical about Silchas slipping. It would have to be a super dumb slip too, after all what are scum most focused on if not kills. But I also don't see the vig being a vengeance/list thing - I think most likely they just wanted to pop one off before being knocked off themselves...premature yes, but stil somewhat understandable.
Anyhoo, my thought (and apologies if this has been already posited) is that there was a lot of positive-to-sure why not attitude toward lynching Rashan yesterday. The lack of a real alternative also made them an even likelier lynch. Thus, scum may have felt little pressure to contribute by jumping on the train, as the lynch seemed likely regardless. My suspicion then is that at least one, if not both, killers would have stayed off the train, and that's a manageable number of players to look at. I'm confident at least one of Ampelas, Denul, Jalan or Merrid will turn out scum. I'll be having a look at them tomorrow.
Underlined: No. It's not understandable. If you consider balance, the Vig is there to take their best shot a scum towards mid or end-game. Just using it "because you can" is completely selfish behaviour that does nothing for town other than reduce its chances when it's fired off like this.
That said, it's over and done with. Player fucked up and now it's time to get real. We've lost our healer and vig.
I don't like this post by you. You are setting up numerous low target options for the day (other than Amp which pings a non-member of the group), rather than actually looking at play styles and interactions.
As of right now, I'd put my vote on you as scum because you know I'm innocent and defending me will make you look better.
Whatever floats your boat. My guess is still that the vig just had a strong day 1 vibe and went with it. To be frank, vigs only rarely come up trumps, whether they blow their load on day 1 or day 5. It's not something to rely on and therefore it's not something to get massively worked up about either.
You say I'm setting up low target options and yet the only low target in the players I named is Denul, so that doesn't really work. I'm also prepared to ignore Denul for now from that list because they're such a non-entity. Neither am I defending you - I'm pointing out the flaw in the reasoning that's been given. There may very well be, however, better reasons for voting for you
As it is, I think I'd be happy with either a Jalan or Merrid vote. The latter always seems to perk up when their name is mentioned, the former has coasted throughout the game so far. Both have given pretty similar reasons for being absent from the day 1 vote, which makes me think they don't work as partners. So need to decide which is more town. In that sense, there's more to work with from Merrid, who has attempted some analysis of others' play. Jalan just has the Silchas thing and has disappeared ever since.
Putting the SR firmly down as dumb. Again side swipe at me in passing. If symp then SR is possibly a master given the firm defence of SRs slip.

I'm just waiting for Kilava to finish before voting.
I'm waiting for you to give me a proper justification to jump on whilst still seeming like a good town?
Thyrllan, on 07 April 2017 - 10:34 AM, said:
Here now, going to have a look through. As I said yesterday, I felt good about either a Merrid or a Jalan vote at that time. In fact by the end, based on Merrid's responses, I was quite confident that Merrid would come up scum. So the scumdar's taken a bit of a blow on that one. Still, I think there's a fair bit to say about Jalan. I'm gonna take a look through.
A fair bit in my few posts? So I must have provided a reasonable amount of content then Thyr? You know, like we should all do?

WCS today is d day. If symp is alive and we lynch wrong then it is 3 vs 3.
Denul won't be voted for.
Galain is on my town read.
Maybe I am guilty of over posting, but I am going to present a challenge.
Cast my vote goes on to you today unless you come up with a compelling case on who you think is scum. Day one you got away with hiding for the most part and same day two. You voted on both days but your day one vote had holes, in that you thought Barghast was town but voted Rashan off the back of him (Barghast) being scum. Day two quick drive by. It's not good enough.
Yeah, I won't be voting for Denul today. If they turn out to have been scum, then that's too bad. But by this point you have to put the silence down to RL issues, and the likelihood is they're getting modkilled anyway.
As for Galain, I agree with you, they're the one other player alongside myself I consider strongly to be town at the moment (watch that statement spectacularly blow up in my face).
I'm not sure about the Cast 'challenge' That's got a real blinkered feel to it, and apparently makes you the judge of what is a valuable contribution (though I do not disagree that Cast has been peripheral). But it is a nice way for you to ultimately lay down an easy vote with the excuse of, 'well, look, I tried to get him to play, he didn't, and I said I would do this.' But at the moment I still consider you lower down on the scum suspicion-o-meter. If scum, you've played a pretty ballsy game.
I'll agree on Galain, I figure they were Vig. Fits Galains MO and choice of target. Others, what do you think? Also explains the silence after getting ridiculed for blowing N1.
Side note of Cast here, this might be the first time in game?

I'm sorry. But the fact that fucking DRAGONSEX is the starter on most of these cases is fucking ridiculous. Yes it can provide connections between symp and master, but for fucks sake you dumb fucks it's day one role play. It's supposed to be fucking stupid. Look how well this shit has panned out for town so far trying to use it.
God damn I suck at building cases, but I wouldn't start with fucking dragon sex bullshit antics.
I'm going where I let yesterday on actual posting style and gameplay yesterday. If I'm wrong at least it isn't from fucking dragonsex.
Vote Thyrllan
Also, Ampetatts make a case please.
Calm down. I'm not making a case TODAY based on dragonsex. I made a case day 1 on it when there really wasn't more information to go on. Yes, it's supposed to be stupid day one rp, but that's why one can safely signal with it. And we HAVE seen players do so in multiple games recently.
Noted. Problem being our MAFIA almost always consist on carry over cases from day to day.
Also, I'm calm. Just kind of frustrated. Partially my own problem as I couldn't be around to help early, partially at this game for so many low posters, and partially at Malazan Mafia which doesn't seem to be doing all that well. Scum win nearly all the time because we've lost the ability to make compelling cases.
I don't disagree with your statement. But, where's your compelling case then?

I'll also note that technically you haven't been on either lynch train.
"Master, please make a case I can vote on and also get your ass in gear and at least *try* and lynch some town"?

Some facts for consideration.
Day 1 lynch: Rashan - Barghast, Kilava, Cast, Ampelas, Osseric, Thyrllan, Nimander, Silchas (in for a "hammer" after a miscounted vote by PS)
Day 2 lynch: Merrid - Osseric, Galain, Ampelas, Jalan, Cast, Kilava
Note there are three remaining players that were on both innocent trains - myself, Kilava, Ampelas. I think we should narrow our vote today to one of the three of us. For me, since I know I'm not scum, that narrows it to Kilava or Ampelas.
Second thought- Why are you so jumpy Ampelas? Over the two days in game so far you've voted for 6 different players, with two (three for me since I know my innocence) revealing innocent. This looks to me like you're spreading wifom and that you don't actually cadre adhere your vote lands. I also find it interesting that you've placed your second vote each day on Kilava. Getting in some early distancing while it's safe to leave a vote there for awhile?
Amp's votes day 1 - Osseric, Kilava, Rasan.
Amp's votes day 2 - Silchas, Kilava, Cast, Merrid.
Interesting that you put yourself in a small group of people to look at. Runs the risk of people singling you out,
perhaps not something scum would do. On the other hand, it's also interesting that you don't stop at saying that one of Kilava or Ampelas could be a killer, but rather posit that they could be partners (which seems unlikely to me). So basically saying that, whichever one of those two we choose, we'll hit a killer, leaving yourself the one townie in the group.
Symping hard here

I'm also willing to lay a vote now because I really do believe they are either paired killers or killer/symp. I prefer an Amp vote, but I don't think it will gain the needed votes. I will back a Kilava vote.
Vote Kilava
Remove Vote
I'm an idiot. Who would agree with me?
Who said you're an idiot? You have said you're only willing to place a vote on Kilava today. She is one of two players that I have made damn clear that I believe to be scum. I'm willing to place my vote there as we need all 4 remaining town to agree on a lynch as I believe there is a real chance that Amp is the symp.
Hell, watch how fast Amp and whomever their third is pile on after one of you vote me.
This is an intriguing reaction to Silchas' vote removal. It almost reads a little panicky, like you were really hoping there would be a quick pile on on to Kilava and now Silchas has stalled that.
Distancing SR from Cast.
