LOCKEZ'S PROFILE

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

[MAFIA] Chrono Trigger - A Mafia Through Time - Game Over

Yeah, that was the hammer vote, day 2 is over, no more posting.

Didn't you *just* vote for me? Suddenly "if anyone is scum, it's Cavedog"? Thought your plan was that I was scum?


I mean, I voted for you earlier today because it was a choice between several people who were all kind of not great choices. Cavedog seemed to be acting very typical at that point, and you didn't seem to be scum hunting at all. I have a play style where, as Liberty noted under my avatar, I "just kill and imprison people at random until crime stops." I thought you seemed like potential scum so I voted for you. Voting to lynch someone is a good way to pressure them into either being more useful or panicking, and to get other people to look more closely at them.

Cavedog on the other hand has a play style where instead of talking, he says things to get other people to talk, and he listens. But I'm pretty sure that's his play style as scum too, with the major difference that he doesn't really care what he hears, as long as other people hear things that are suspicious from each other. And in retrospect, I no longer think that the things Cavedog was saying were trying to get other people to scum hunt, or anything else useful. I think they were his particular flavor of manipulative scum trash where he banks on his charisma to post whatever he wants and get people to start accusing each other and think it was their own idea. And I think I fell for it.

I particularly like the idiocy of this comment:

author=CAVE_DOG_IS_SCUM
more setup spec based on...moderator meta? leading to vote on most vulnerable player because duh

Implying that voting to lynch the person who looks like the best person to vote for is somehow a bad thing to do, rofl. He uses the word "vulnerable" to make it sound bad, but what that word actually means is "lynchable," and the reason Lizardman_Princess was lynchable was because she was playing badly and not contributing and generally not doing anything to convince anyone that she was town.

She's still kind of doing that, but Cavedog is being manipulative and disingenuous, and that bothers me way more.

Well you can ignore the part where I said Cavedog hadn't posted anything all game, because I spent so long writing my post that he actually said something. The rest of it is still true though.

lockez is just posting about the setup, avoiding talking about players, and feigning ignorance over stuff no one could have possibly missed (actually impossible.) im going to post a giant case since i see no momentum.

This should be obvious, but I missed the list of Lavos's powers because it was inside of a hide tag for some reason. I don't feel like missing something that was intentionally hidden from my view is "literally impossible."

So if you want a scum read from me right now, it's probably going to be Cavedog actually. Earlier I couldn't decide if he was acting super towny or completely garbage. But none of his one-sentence posts are actually going anywhere and a lot of them bother me because they seem designed to throw suspicion on people while avoiding explanations.

For example, he quoted a demonlord5000 post and said that "demonlord's posts from here-forward don't look too great" but didn't give any explanation as to why he felt that was true, and didn't quote or describe any of demonlord's later posts. That vote against Fomar was definitely questionable, because Fomar had said that he believed the town power roles were equivalent to core CT characters, and that's something scum would pick up on if that's information they had too (though at this point I don't know if it's actually true or not). So maybe demonlord saw that and thought Fomar was likely to have a power role. But after going through the rest of demonlord's posts after that, I can't really find anything else that looks bad. So Cavedog's comment there looks weird and bad to me, like he's trying to make something out to be bigger than it really is. And frankly the only reason I even noticed that other stuff about demonlord's vote is because Cavedog pointed out that post... but Cavedog didn't say any of that stuff. I think Cavedog was just hoping someone else would point it out, so he wouldn't have to take credit for throwing shade on demonlord when he turns out to actually be town. Which is why I think it's more likely to be a meaningless error, and I think demonlord is innocent and Cavedog is much scum.

Another point: the bit about me not seeing the list of Lavos's powers is classic misdirection. I don't feel like pretending to do that would even make sense for scum. What would their goal be exactly? To hope that literally every single other player also missed it? Cave doesn't care whether it makes sense or not though, it's just something he can point at and say "Look, he did this thing that isn't normal, GET HIM" and hope that at least one person falls for it and starts thinking more suspiciously of me. Or that it at least distracts us from actually scumhunting for another few hours.

He also keeps out throwing out stupid bullshit posts like "my joke got deleted. anyway voting my friend is a scumtell" and "i'm looking at the meme content in muffle's posts, and let me say: i'm convinced. confirmed town always protect" which seem to me to be factory-designed to make him look like he wasn't being serious with his votes against me, so he can avoid suspicion later when I flip town. He is banking on the fact that people don't expect him to take the game seriously, in order to avoid taking responsibility for his actions, while trying to lead people against the most dangerous town player he can. Half the players have role claimed, and everyone seems to agree that psy is town, so he can either attack me, cap_h, or someone who doesn't typically contribute to town's case (muffle/lizard/demonlord). Apparently he's picked me.

Also, if it seems like I'm reading too much into his posts, that's because this read on Cavedog is longer than everything Cavedog has said in the entire game. He is just making random one-sentence jabs and hoping your own brain will fill in the reasoning with whatever you want it to be. He isn't actually contributing anything.

I'm afraid this game could be solved or almost solved via claims.


Remember when we did FF8 mafia and nobody was Quistis? I'm somehow reminded of that game.

Ayla, Lucca and/or Marle might just not exist in this game, in which case we will have to actually figure out who scum is. If all seven main characters are town roles, that leaves two scum and two vanilla town, so we can just lynch everyone who doesn't role claim and win by the end of day 4. Unless scum has a second extra night kill in addition to Lavos's fire spell (which apparently already got used up, and she can't use it again anyway because she'll be dead at the end of the day today), or a Life spell, or some other power that alters the number of kills per day.

I don't know how much I like this setup if all we have to do to win is role claim. Which will absolutely end up being the case if there are 6 publicly known power roles left and 9 players left, and presumably (hopefully) only 1 scum left.

But if Muffle/Magus is scum, or if one or more characters don't exist as a player role, then we could still potentially lose even if scum has no powers left to use. So I don't think I'm in "stop caring about the game because we automatically win" mode just yet. Though I'm closer than is comfortable.

That's a really good chart. I assume the mark under "engages" means you're pledged to be married to Oddrabbit.
