Well, it may not be so bad. It's possible the doctor can block the mafia's infection.

IIRC the doctor doesn't block an infection. Instead, he invalidates a suspect. Like the mafia only has a 1/3 hit rate on infection because they have to supply three targets. If the doctor blocks one of the targets, it just means one of the others gets infected. It's worth confirming with Tangled, because it doctor actually /does/ block infection we should also be trying to help the doctor work out likely infection targets.

I also realized we have a win condition where mafia infects the SK tonight (or has already done so) and then we lynch the mafia-SK, killing two birds with one stone.
See, there's hope! I'll be going to sleep now though~

Should I even bother lynching Cave Dog at this point?

The question is, why does Frogge insist on being this useless? I think the answer may be that he's the serial killer.

Actually, becuase the more useless the less suspicious. It's kinda like reverse psychology. I'm acting suspicious on purpose which is making me look NOT suspicious. Because no mafia in their right mind would willingly admit that they are acting suspicious.
Why do you need to look innocent so badly?

It occurs to me that if Gourd was not scum, mafia could have bandwagoned on my vote and won the game already.

I actually think the game is in a literally unwinnable state for town already so w/e

Because I don't wanna die would be a good reason?
@Frogge So basically you're not town.

@Cave I wish they would do it if they're going to do it.:\

Town probably won't win this game no. >.<

Froggggge, you realize the game will end /tonight/ unless you change your vote, right? And if it looks like that's what's happening I'm going to team up with scum and lynch you for symbolic reasons.

Yeah we have to play perfectly at this point plus get lucky that mafia nightkills the sk. But Gourd and Blob are almost confirmed scum for me now so I think we can get at least one more night out of this. Just think of it as being all that more impressive if we actually manage to turn this around.

If Frogge decides to dick around instead of voting on scum, we'd still have a 50/50 chance if things lined up you/me/IF vs gourd/blob/piano... this is assuming that IF wasn't infected at any point the last two nights though, and that piano was. Or what I suspect that piano is just terminally hung up on me and Frogge was infected, but Frogge is too much of a force of nature to do anything but vote against you.

Psy, I am a little hung up on you, but I agree Frogge could be infected or possibly even original scum. He's been acting this way the whole game. He's deliberately not useful. He's been getting by by flying way under the radar. Yeah, batshit crazy is an effective way to play. Useless batshit crazy, on the other hand, should rightly get you lynched.

I feel like Frogge has been infected. probably IF too. cause if I was scum I would probably infect players that people already had 'town' feelings for.

in any case the entire town+sk all have to vote together. kind of ridiculous

Hihihih....
Thanks for having some faith in me piano, but I don't think Frogge is scum. Tangled made a comment to him in the thread that pretty much sealed it for me. He gave Frogge a "tip" to improve his play, which I never think he would've done for a mafia who was pulling an effective ruse. That's meta as hell because it involves the game mod but because the game is stacked I don't really feel bad. Although, really I think there's a 1/3 chance Frogge's scum because if I were scum, I'd have targeted the three lowest people on the suspicion list. I'm not willing to take that risk right now. I'll vote against him if he doesn't take his vote off Cave though because in that case we've lost either way and I'd rather lynch Frogge to teach him a lesson than vote against Cave.

Also, if Frogge was clever scum pretending to be dumb town, he could've just voted for me, and then the game would be over when Gourd and Blob showed back up to dial in their votes. Or he's dumb scum pretending to be dumb town. Who knows. But I'm sure he was innocent before tonight.

Also, @piano and @cave, opinions on Blob? He's the other guy I'm fairly sure is mafia, but I thought Gourd was even more sure and I can articulate my case against Gourd much better. The same "under the radar" stuff about Frogge applies to Blob.

Hihihih....

Dude, either move your vote off Cave or at least take the most cursory amount of time to explain why you think one of the least likely guys is guilty.

I can't come up with a solid case against blob, either, but I do not like how quiet he is. I say "how quiet he is" instead of "how quiet he's been" because this is the second game I've played with him and he was the same way in both. Last game, he was town and just like last game, he's talking enough to avoid drawing too much suspicion, but he's not completely useless. It's not like shinan, who'll say just enough to keep from getting modkilled, then will only start talking when he's under suspicion and flip town when he gets lynched. This is why I really hate having a quiet player. People always say it's a scum tell, but the truth of the matter is, you just can't. fucking. know.

Tangled made a comment to him in the thread that pretty much sealed it for me. He gave Frogge a "tip" to improve his play, which I never think he would've done for a mafia who was pulling an effective ruse.


This is useless. To a moderator and outside readers, scum and town are just players. Just pick your favorite team. We, the players are the only ones who think of each other as "the other guy." Even worse, having been a moderator, I can personally assure you that mods have a tendency to root for scum (they tend to have a bit of an uphill battle). I wouldn't use this to determine another player's alignment even slightly. It also discounts the possibility of infection.

Hihihih....


Psy, this is called taunting. In a previous game, I came to understand the power of playing batshit crazy, but I was useful and I was active. What Frogge is doing is sending out all the wrong signals.

Don't forget, you have numerously expressed the contention that Frogge is town. We all have. Scum are most likely to target the people drawing the least suspicion.

The reason I have such a suspicion of Cave dog is mainly because he sends off the most scum signals for me. I'm still wondering why he faked that puzzle.

I'm second most suspcious of psy. It might seem like as stupid reason, but how dedicated he is just kinda sets me off.

If I do really have to switch my vote around, then

Another thing about blob. I've been looking for at the bottom of the community portal page. He just hasn't been logged in. I agree, he could be scum, but with a current ratio of 4/3, we're better off going after a stronger scum-tell. You think Gourd: I think you. I am pretty sure Gourd is town...but I'm not as sure as I was about Ratty. I will say this about Gourd. He looks like the perfect town. I've never seen him look like the perfect town.
Niiice, hahaha. Thanks Frogge you've been really helpful, consider my imaginary vote on you. I'll cast it for real closer to the deadline.

@piano Ah okay, I thought Blob said somewhere that this was his first time playing on the forum. As far as Tangled's comment goes, it gave me the impression that Tangled's impression of Frogge's skill was low, whereas his estimation of a cleverly-disguised mafia would've been medium-high. I could be misreading it and I think your explanation holds water.

If Frogge is the quiet-mafia, that somewhat excuses Blob as the quiet-mafia. And my entire case on Blob was that he was the quietest player that I wasn't convinced was innocent. But he /has/ been helpful, for instance by refusing to vote for Ratty and expressing doubt of me pretty much earlier than everyone else. As it looks like Frogge is guilty, then I'd start thinking Blob was innocent... or at least was innocent until last night.
