MILLER'S HOLLOW MAFIA - GAME THREAD

Posts

Platinum because of his early decisions, wildwes and Trihan because of nolynch vote (it's common to use nolynch at the first day for Liberty, so it isn't enough for me to kill her), also wildwes is just... supsicious. Don't know why. You? For the same reason I've wanted to lynch you like every game before. You're hard to read because you're playing exactly the same every single game, you always are "obviously town" and it can be dangerously deceiving, so I'm always up to lynch you before I'm completely sure you're town. And this "look at me, I'm so cute I can't be villain" won't work with me.
No, non-lynches won't hurt us. Jumping on someone who is most likely to be town due to the fact that 1 - we have no real proof of guilt and 2 - the LARGE majority at the moment are town; that is what is more likely to hurt town.

I don't trust Cave, I don't trust those who are willing to jump on a bandwagon just because it seems like a good idea.

Of course, I'll keep my no-lynch. It's a sound tactic for the first day. We're most likely to be down one every first night so your argument that it hurts town to not lynch is fucking ridiculous. There's a high possibility that we'll be down two town.

Honestly, this isn't rocket science people. :/

yes of course that is a possibility. but we will have information from his flip as well as interactions between him and other players and retroactive information based on how exactly the lynch went down. If we don't lynch, like I said, we will have no information d2 but be minus one player. we have to lynch someone to, you know, get the game going. otherwise we are caught in a logical loop where "well, can't take the risk of killing extra townies!" thought process takes place over and over again until we are dead. It's not rocket science, but, even so, you do not seem to 'get it.'

Also, we do have evidence of his guilt. It's the giant wall of text I posted. if you're thinking of just waiting until we get a cop investigation (only way out of "well, can't lynch. no proof") dilemma, there is no evidence that a cop is even in this game. also, that strategy would require the cop to out himself. this guy is getting lynched anyway though~~


recap: have you given an opinion on who you think might be scum at any point in this thread?
Does it matter if I have or have not? People can play close to the chest. Hell, werewolves are gonna lie about who they think are guilty so while you can discern some things, you can't rely on what people say. First day problems - no real information.

That's my issue. Sure, the second day onward we can't afford to wait, but we tend to have more information on the second day due to people claiming, night actions and the first night kill, if it occurs. First day, however, we can be careful and not cut down our numbers.

Say he flips town or werewolf. What does this really tell us? If he's town it loses us a comrade, especially if he's someone of importance like a doctor. We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.
If he's town then we look at his guesses. What do they tell us? That he thought x was guilty or innocent. How the fuck would he know? It's the first fucking day. No-one knows shit beyond their own innocence or guilt.

And if he were werewolf that still tells us nothing. It does net us one less threat for town but the chances of him being werewolf is about 3 or 4/13. And his guesses and whatnot? If he's any kind of werewolf he'll be playing the field, casting suspicion on his allies as well as innocent people just so we can't get information from his death. Standard play for werewolves.

The chances are more in his favour for being town on the first day. We have no real information and we can't get anything from his corpse except more questions.

Wait one night, gather the information we get on the second day and then go lynch-happy if you wish. At least then we'll have more information than just guesses and theories.

i have been ignoring you. i am still willing to lynch zeuzio. i just want him to post his reads first. if he does not do this in a sufficient amount of time, he will be killed anyway. it is law.

Well thanks for ignoring me then! .....
That paragraph also applies to PA, though.

author=Yellow Magic
what in god's name are you even talking about

Completely misunderstood what you were saying in the heat of the moment. Don't worry about it.

Regarding Zeuzio: Does no one else find it odd that he voted for himself while maintaining his Townie status? That doesn't really seem like Werewolf behaviour to me.

Regarding Voting: So much for finding a loophole. I'm still not sure why CAVE_DOG is being voted for election by most people though (i.e. would love to hear reasoning).

A couple of players haven't been posting recently, but I wonder whether they're just inactive due to weekend stuff or are hiding something sinister.....

yes. it does matter. if you die, it is important to know what you were thinking. scum generally do not kill people for no reason, but rather on what has happened in the game up till the moment they perform the night kill. understanding the motivations behind a night kill is important. looking at a flipped player's interactions and arguments is important in finding scum. unless they spent all of their time fruitlessly trying to game the setup.

That's my issue. Sure, the second day onward we can't afford to wait, but we tend to have more information on the second day due to people claiming, night actions and the first night kill, if it occurs. First day, however, we can be careful and not cut down our numbers.


so basically the idea is that we massclaim day 2. why are you endorsing such a terrible plan. why not just massclaim right now in that case (I am the double voter)

Say he flips town or werewolf. What does this really tell us? If he's town it loses us a comrade, especially if he's someone of importance like a doctor. We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.
If he's town then we look at his guesses. What do they tell us? That he thought x was guilty or innocent. How the fuck would he know? It's the first fucking day. No-one knows shit beyond their own innocence or guilt.


he claimed vanilla, so if he's town, that's what he is. actually his 'guesses' would not tell us that. Have you read zuezio's posts? He has made two town-calls and no scumcalls. if he's town, we would primarily gain information from analyzing the voting reasons and patterns of players. especially the reactions to his VT claim. his town-reads, while helpful, are not crucial. also, I know the alignments of several players on the first day already. Also I am very strong.


And if he were werewolf that still tells us nothing. It does net us one less threat for town but the chances of him being werewolf is about 3 or 4/13. And his guesses and whatnot? If he's any kind of werewolf he'll be playing the field, casting suspicion on his allies as well as innocent people just so we can't get information from his death. Standard play for werewolves.


these numbers do not exist in a vaccuum. this "4/13" business (yeah, there's no way there's a four-man scumteam, sorry. probably 3. maybe 2.) entirely negates the fact that the case for zeuzio has not been formulated and pushed by a random number generator but by words with logic behind them made by a person who has gleaned the alignment of several players. evidence to suggest his guilt already fucks up this probability business to an unimaginable degree. again, we would not be looking at zeuzio's actions alone as if he was playing mafia with himself, but his interactions with the rest of the thread.

Regarding Zeuzio: Does no one else find it odd that he voted for himself while maintaining his Townie status? That doesn't really seem like Werewolf behaviour to me.


i've seen it happen. It also worked, to a degree, to get people to unvote him. You are even not suspecting him right now because of it!! Also: ask your self this. Does voting yourself and essentially 'giving up' make sense from a town perspective?

I'm in GMT+1, but I've been hosting this game in GMT.
Lib, I won't saying you should lynch a person who is most-likely town, that's why I ain't bandwagoning on Zeuzio, but it is good idea to try and lynch someone YOU think is a villain, isn't it? :)

Can't really say much as I'm at work so will make this quick: yeah, I'm not suspecting him as much because his behaviour seems weird from a werewolf perspective

however I agree that lynching someone is bbetter than a nolynch, and as there is little time left to convince anyone to vote for who I think is werewolf, I might as well bandwagon.

#lynch Zeuzio
I'm not changing my election vote though. Not that it matters lol come ON guys.
And if you'd read my past posts, Cave, you wouldn't be asking if I'd felt suspicious of anyone.

I never said we should mass role-claim, just that people start to claim roles on the second day in response to what happens on night 1. If there's no deaths we know there's a protector. If we lose two people, we can assume there's a vigilante. We know more without having to lynch someone who may very well be town. We have more chances of narrowing down culprits and innocents.

All we have today is words. It's words combined with actions that allow us to pick apart the lies, but I don't think that killing someone on the first day is smart, when it's more likely to be a villager we kill. I've already given my reasons to why this is stupid.

I am now certain that you are not scum and are just town trying to play scum as hard as possible.

#lynch zeuzio
Killing sheriff is stupid, we should wait and give it to a confirmed town. All the people who are trying to elect Zeuzio before killing him are raising on my scumdar immediately.
And this is another reason why my vote stands as it is, let's lynch Platinum today.

I've been busy for the most of the weekend and now I'm at work and apparently there's a huge bandwagon on Zeuzio? I'm with Liberty here though. Unfortunately I don't have the time to start analyzing the claims on people very accurately right now, but I did go though everything briefly and I agree that talk alone doesn't suffice for evidence. It's a lesson hard learned from last game.

With 13 players alive, and no sheriff, it takes 7 people to hammer.

Could people stop trying to game the system and just use the double-vote the way it's intended?

1 hour remains...
What Id like to know is why people elected Cave? I mean, there's literally no reasons given, just a sudden spate of elections? I definitely feel there's something scummy there. Hell, I don't think Cave is the scum, he might just be part of a werewolf plot to use him, but I do think some of the electors are werewolves.

You asked, Cave, there's my answer - Gourd_Clae, CAVE_DOG_IS_BACK, Zeuzio, PlatinumAshes, Adon237

I don't think Zeuzio is, nor Cave, so that leaves Gourd, Platinum and Adon on my suspect list, along with Happy (I've not shaken the scum feel I got at the very beginning from your first few posts.)

The villagers argued back and forth until nightfall. Old rivalries and bad blood rose to the surface as people accused each other of being a werewolf. The villagers waited until the end of the day with electing a sheriff, trying to find loopholes in the voting system all the way through, annoying the game master to no end, and two factions formed. One group of people wanted to bury all the sheriff had stood for and lock the double-voting power away, while the other group wanted to use it. Eventually someone was chosen, who had a clear idea of who was going to be the first to be hanged. Many agreed with him. They only realized the mistake they had made when he voluntarily walked up to the gallows, put the noose around his neck, and kicked the stool away from underneath him. Watching the suicide unfold in horror, all of the villagers concluded the man could not have been a werewolf. It was simply impossible.

Zeuzio, who was a Villager was hanged day 1!
About Villager:
You are a Villager!

Arguably the hardest and most important role to play, you will have to depend on your skills of deduction to find and hang all the Werewolves. You have no powers, but Miller's Hollow would be lost without you!

You win when all Werewolves are eliminated

CAVE_DOG_IS_BACK has been elected as sheriff!

Night actions within 24 hours!
