I'll jump in and sub in.
Let me read up the thread. Role confirmed.

I seem to recall something about saying "I'm scum, please lynch me," in one of your early, if not your first, post in 100 Mafia.I'm totally not...okay maybe I am.
Agreed. I think Zexy got duped, which is unfortunate.Likewise it's easy for mafia to fake knowing how town roles are typed because generally they are just reversed. And once someone they know is townie lets slip just a little about the wording, it's easy to say they have the same. "You are town and win when all mafia are slaughtered." "You are mafia and win when you are equal to or outnumber the town." Stuff like that is so general and just basically a reverse. It's too easy to fake.
HEY! No using my former userthemes against ME!
I seem to recall a few obscene duck jokes in The 100 Mafia. That was amusing.I agree. I've done this with scumbuddies. Questioning each other, responding to each other, etc. Best way to make it look as though you're not plotting to dismember townies in private.
Very true. In Build-It, I spent a decent amount of the first phase talking about the blueprint mechanic. Worked like a charm.Anyone who talks too much about setup is irking as well. It avoids actual slip up topics.
That's true. It was pretty strong language considering the fact that it was D1, and, yes, if The 100 Mafia should have taught anybody anything it's that anyone who comes out and says that they're mafia on N0 or D1 should be lynched as scum immediately.And of course we know now that Elementar was town. Also D1? No one is really most likely unless they come ou and say they're mafia.
I, too, have nothing to add here. Instead I shall multiply!They totes knew. In seriousness nothing to add here.
I'm not sure what this had to do with anything, but I'm glad your dog isn't having a nightmare anymore. Why would a dog have a horse, anyway?So my dog was totally having a nightmare while I was typing this post. My poor baby. I woke her from it though of course.
Very true. Of the people on Life's bandwagon, it is entirely possible that one is scum, seems probable, in fact. Flop was the last one aboard, and had no choice considering that she knew of the cop check.Bussing as well since you kill your scumbuddy in a game this size then you get cleared pretty easily. It's actually a smart move for winning as mafia.
She knew about the cop check, so even if it was a slip, it's explainable. I still don't like that she gave no other reasoning for voting for Life. As I said above, even her one vote was CWAC.That "Since he's definitely Mafia" is an odd choice of wording as well. It shows that she knew of the cop check, but considering most of the thread didn't know of it it's strange to say since there was at the time no 100% proof that Life was scum at least not for most of the thread. It would be an even stranger comment if he didn't know of the check since then it would have to be a slip. Though here it could be either way.
I'm on mobile. Autocorrect keeps trying to screw me over.Oh please your post is too tiny for that behavior
I seem to recall you saying the same thing. Though I say that as town too.I seem to recall something about saying "I'm scum, please lynch me," in one of your early, if not your first, post in 100 Mafia.
And shocking!Agreed. I think Zexy got duped, which is unfortunate.
I was actually trying to ruin ducks for you.HEY! No using my former userthemes against ME!
Anything that involves me is amusing.I seem to recall a few obscene duck jokes in The 100 Mafia. That was amusing
Good to know in future mafia's when you talk about mechanics.Very true. In Build-It, I spent a decent amount of the first phase talking about the blueprint mechanic. Worked like a charm.
Probably. Especially since three out of four of us said we're mafia.That's true. It was pretty strong language considering the fact that it was D1, and, yes, if The 100 Mafia should have taught anybody anything it's that anyone who comes out and says that they're mafia on N0 or D1 should be lynched as scum immediately.
Who said anything about a horse? And everything has to do with my dog because no dog is cuter than her.I'm not sure what this had to do with anything, but I'm glad your dog isn't having a nightmare anymore. Why would a dog have a horse, anyway?
I think the only ones not on it were me and the inactives. I just don't jump on large wagons anymore since it pointless. And I was more curious about other things than the already large life wagon.Very true. Of the people on Life's bandwagon, it is entirely possible that one is scum, seems probable, in fact. Flop was the last one aboard, and had no choice considering that she knew of the cop check.
Zexy is cleared.
Sunsette voted second, without knowing about a cop check, which looks good.
ME was trusted by Zexy, attempted to act as Zexy's meatshield, and found Life to be scummy before Zexy claimed to me. Voted for Life knowing about the cop check, but giving valid reasons and rationale.
Flop was trusted by Zexy, though his reasoning seemed faulty. Barely interacted with Life before voting. Voted for Life with no reasoning that was useful to Town.
Fair point.She knew about the cop check, so even if it was a slip, it's explainable. I still don't like that she gave no other reasoning for voting for Life. As I said above, even her one vote was CWAC.
Get on a PC.I'm on mobile. Autocorrect keeps trying to screw me over.
I said it rhetorically. Although what I did not say rhetorically that game was my self read, which everyone seemed to ignore.I seem to recall you saying the same thing. Though I say that as town too.
And shocking!
EVERYTHING IS RUINED 5EVAR!!!!!!!I was actually trying to ruin ducks for you.
I've noticed that, actually.Anything that involves me is amusing.
Blast! Now my ace in the hole is gone!Good to know in future mafia's when you talk about mechanics.
...*sigh* Poor @FinalArcadia the only professional among a bunch of jokers.Probably. Especially since three out of four of us said we're mafia.
You did. A night mare. XDWho said anything about a horse? And everything has to do with my dog because no dog is cuter than her.
What were you curious about, might I ask? (See? This post does actually contain something of relevance. )I think the only ones not on it were me and the inactives. I just don't jump on large wagons anymore since it pointless. And I was more curious about other things than the already large life wagon.
I make those every now and again.Fair point.
Done. This post went much smoother.Get on a PC.
Someone needs to go back to schoolEVERYTHING IS RUINED 5EVAR!!!!!!!
How could you not notice me? I am SexBomb. All heads turn towards me when I walk.I've noticed that, actually.
MwhahahhahahaBlast! Now my ace in the hole is gone!
That's right. I can't think of any jokes she's made....*sigh* Poor @FinalArcadia the only professional among a bunch of jokers.
You and your bad puns.You did. A night mare. XD
The whole cop thing. Also I felt I needed to do something because the alert system messed up and it was destroy Life mania when I found out.What were you curious about, might I ask? (See? This post does actually contain something of relevance. )
Shocking!I make those every now and again.
Why didn't you do that in the first place?Done. This post went much smoother.
Elementar sheeped and seemed overeager to lynch given how far away the deadline was - I'd like to hear his thoughts more. Having said that, I do think he's the most likely to flip scum of the people who've posted enough for me to read.
Flop's isn't that bad since the timing showed that she didn't want to add on more without more reasoning, which makes sense since in a small game, three votes are a lot. And he didn't reply other than an appeal to emotion for the rest of the phase. The slife comment is strange but he was a shortlived bandwagon so it's not as strange as some other stuff.
Vote: Life
Since he's definitely Mafia.
And now that song is going to be stuck in my head, thanks Mido.
I find this odd, mainly because we already had a vigilante role that was killed. Granted, nobody involved seemed to know how TFPTSLBOOIA worked, but why include two vig roles in a game this size?I also attempted to shoot TheCapsFan (now Pikochu), which failed. I don't know why.
Why fakeclaim a 2nd vig in a game this size with a TFPTSLBOOIA that I could never prove?I find this odd, mainly because we already had a vigilante role that was killed. Granted, nobody involved seemed to know how TFPTSLBOOIA worked, but why include two vig roles in a game this size?
That's why I said I find it odd instead of just voting you. It's a really weird fakeclaim to make at this point as scum, which is why I'm less inclined to write it off, along with the case you're making against ME. I admit that I was also surprised by his calling for a mass claim, but it didn't seem as weird at the time since we were assuming there would be only one more scum. I think there still could be only one more, assuming Godfather might have an additional ability, but rolecop seems more likely.Why fakeclaim a 2nd vig in a game this size with a TFPTSLBOOIA that I could never prove?
There are 3 situations with me and my claim:
1) I am a Mafia vig and was blocked by a town Roleblocker. This is insanely unlikely, as Mafia vigs are a virtual nonentity.
2) I am Mafia and lying. This is unlikely for reasons I have stated before.
3) I am a town vig and was blocked. This is the truth.
But how would I kill said townie on to of the NK?Vote: Doctor Floptopus
That scummy behavior last phase makes sense now in light of Zexy and Life's flips. A vig claim that failed sounds a bit strange because for now it can't be proven or disproven, but could easily be used to justify a townie death later on.
This is an odd post. ME seems to be trying to judge whether or not to defend Life.HD, you'd know Life's playstyle better than I would, most likely, given that I've only played a few games with Life and was killed quickly in at least one of them and another was non-Mafia.
Just how eyebrow raising/concerning is it that Life didn't comment? You said "freakishly uncharacteristic."
!. Overreacts to a joke.If I had to go on, mostly, but instincts, my top two lynch candidates right now are Sunsette and Slife.
Something just feels off about this post. Granted, I've never played with Sunsette before and this is entirely a gut read, but other people had posted aside from HD and myself before this post, yet Sunsette decided to focus on the two of us. HD is a fantastic player, and I'm halfway decent most of the time.
*shrug* feels sort of like a subtle way to imply that HD and I should take each other out. I'm probably reading way too much into this, but the whole mentality of "lurk and watch two active players take each other out" seems scummy.
As I said, gut read.
...yeah, gonna echo what the last several posters have said here. I've learned my lesson about no lynches and how they are only beneficial to mafia. If you're town, you need all the information you can get. On D1, there isn't much to work with, I'll grant you that, but that's all the more reason to do something to gain information.
The good news is, at least with this post, it seems like we actually do have a viable lynch candidate, so, I will Vote: Slife, who is the most viable candidate ATM.
I find the bolded part really odd. Life was scum and probably just angling for towncred, and HD simply said he thought slife was "probably concerned town", which really isn't a hard defense - sheeping reads. He also never mentions which parts of said responses makes him feel better.Unvote: Slife
With both HD and Life sticking up for him, as well as his response to the votes against him, Slife looks a lot less scummy.
I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point, but I just woke up, so I'm not exactly at my best...
This is just saying what we already know, that we can get info from a lynch.Doc's been dedded! Clearly u r all scum out to get ME!
In all seriousness, that was bad.
Still, if you ask me, that was a very solid lynch. Not because I like the results, but because of the thought processes that went into it. I'll go back and doublecheck the posts wherein people voted for Elementar, but to the best of my recollection, everybody who voted for him had solid reasoning and sound logic.
In spite of the outcome, I'd still say that everybody on the bandwagon looks more townie than before. Nobody had any way of knowing what Elementar's flip was going to be except Elementar. This isn't an automatic clear for people who were on the bandwagon, but it does help form some good preliminary reads.
Bottom line, let's take the information that we got from this lynch, pick ourselves up, and move forward. Let this not be a wasted lynch.
A long post, with no real contribution other than: "I think the people on the elementar wagon are town because they have good reasoning, but I can also see the reasoning of most of the people who refrained from voting." Also, note that in the end he made no vote or even any reads, despite being oh-so-opposed to a d1 no lynch.HD's reason for voting for Elementar was bandwagoing for vague reasons.
Mido's reasons for voting for Elementar were both the bandwagon vote itself and Elementar's defensiveness over being voted for, as well as the uncertain nature of Elementar's vote.
Zexy's reasons for voting for Elementar were that he felt that Elementar's responses to HD's vote were scummy and buying for time, and that he felt like Elementar's responses to being called out and voted for were uncertain, and didn't contribute anything of value.
At the end of the day, I can't fault any of the above for their logic. Their reasons for voting for Elementar were solid and each built off of substantial in-thread evidence.
Would that the result matched the logic, but, alas, there's always the human factor, which is illogical and irrational.
I'm a little more interested in those who thought Elementar was scummy, but didn't vote.
These posts, for instance:
Life brings in a couple of good points regarding Elementar's vote and his subsequent posts, agrees with HD, and even says that he's tempted to join the wagon, but he doesn't.
This could imply that he knew that Elementar would flip Town, which would mean that he's scum, or it could be as simple as he says, that he was waiting for Elementar to defend himself before deciding to vote.
This was before Mido and Zexy voted for Elementar, and when the bigger bandwagon was still on Slife.
Interesting to note when...
Slife repeats the argument that Elementar's vote was too vague and bandwagony, and says that Elementar seems desperate to cause a lynch. He seems to classify it under the category of "too scummy to be scum," if I am interpreting his post correctly.
This post from Flop is interesting. At the time she posted it, said "Slife wagon" was one vote, Elementar. At the end of the phase, I had as many votes on me as Slife did, since Caps's joke vote was never removed. Additionally, by that point, Mido and Zexy had voted for Elementar. Calling a single vote a bandwagon, while someone else had three votes? A little odd, but not innately scummy.
She then makes a case against Elementar, concluding that "he's the most likely to flip scum of the people who've posted enough for me to read."
In spite of this, no vote on Elementar.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of all of this, but I figured this is all worth compiling and looking at. I'm interested in hearing other's thoughts on the lynch wagon.
The bolded part is odd, as he never described Life's lack of vote as suspicious, only "interesting". He lies about hearing from the cop, but I can't fault him on this since it's not a scummy move.Yes, Slife. Taunt the town for lynching the doc on D1. I stand by my previous statement that it was a solid lynch with good reasoning.
Interesting. I'll have to go back and look at MCH's "nebulous" reads. Considering the fact that you are one of them, and Life, who is under a lot of suspicion and scrutiny right now, is the other, perhaps they are more credible than you're making them appear. I don't remember his reads, though, so I'll get back to you on this.
*shrug* That's most likely true, which doesn't give us a lot to work with, TBH. HD is decidedly a power player and is absolutely devastating at tearing apart scumteams. He was also looking very towny by the end of D1. Pretty much anybody would want him out of the way early on, and, with the doc gone, who could resist?
It is possible that HD was in contact with someone outside the thread and had formed a plan of some sorts.
In any case, given HD's opinions on him, and the fact that Life seems to be scrambling under Zexy's scrutiny, I think it prudent to:
Vote: Life
at this time. I found him suspicious for not wanting to take a clear stance on the Elementar lynch, despite giving good, solid reasons for why Elementar's actions were scummy, and his most recent posts and slip ups aren't helping him any.
Also, I have heard from no cop at this time.
The thing is, although MCH's posts are genuine, he wasn't killed for them - he was killed by the RNG. Personally, I wouldn't put too much stock in the words of a townie not killed by Mafia, as last time I did that it was detrimental to the town.Okay, as promised I went back and checked MCH's posts for his "nebulous" reads on Slife and Life.
I looked back and found all of MCH's posts.
This is what I found:
This is the only post I can find wherein he even mentions Slife. I wouldn't call this a read, nebulous or otherwise, TBH. He's literally just stating that "this can either be a good lynch or a bad lynch." Not taking any stance whatsoever, just literally mentioning the only two possible outcomes. I'm surprised that Slife even bothered to bring attention to this...
This is definitely more of read on Life, albeit an uncertain one, but it's definitely a read.
MCH is a confirmed town, albeit dead, so the posts were genuine. If another confirmed Townie was suspicious of Life, that only bolsters my vote.
This was initially Engie's idea. I was expecting it, as I had seen it beforehand. However, if anyone claimed to him, he didn't share it with the real cop to my knowledge. This may well have been an excuse to go claim fishing.Your attention please. When I said earlier that I had not been contacted by the cop, I was absolutely serious. Then again, it would have been a little odd for me to contact myself, eh?
Yes, you're hearing me correctly. I am the Cop. I used my check last night on Life, because I felt like he was the most suspicious. I confided in a couple of other players, whom I was reading as Town, and told them to push Life without revealing my check, so that we could test everyone's natural reactions to a Life vote.
Thanks to this, I am very close to cracking the game, but I'm still missing a few vital pieces.
As such, I am calling for a mass claim. Help me solve the last bits of this puzzle so that we can find the scum remaining amongst us.
To that last remaining scum, I ask you: feeling lucky, punk?
Engie was around when I gave my explanation. Why didn't he respond?...yeah, either mafia had a Role Cop, or they picked up on Zexy's numerous Cop puns. Either way, I was indeed meatshielding at Zexy's request.
Based on the information I have acquired, there are two likely suspects.
1. CapsFan - He's still a complete enigma, and I hate to target him because he's trying to sub out.
2. Flop - Flop made a claim, and was supposed to have proven her claim and taken care of the Caps enigma at the same time, but she didn't.
Her role is unproven. Additionally, she was one of the two people, three is you count HD, that Zexy directly claimed to.
For now, until I hear Flop's explanation, I am going to Vote: Doctor Floptopus.
1. Accusing me of not contributing, something he was also guilty of.Bit of a long post, but I'm ISOing Flop, and throwing in a couple of other interesting tidbits along the way.
First post of the game, as per many people, it's a joke. CWAC, but we're all guilty of that.
This is interesting. Note how Zexy's initial reason for trusting Flop was that she confirmed HD's comments about role PM formatting. Note how, after Flop's post, I point out that said formatting could be for everybody's role PM. At this time, let's take a look at the only confirmed sighting of a scum PM we've had so far:
Well. I'll be damned. It looks just like Flop said, role, then end. No alignment, no wincon. Formatted exactly the same as the Town role PMs that we've seen.
CWAC, but, again, this was during D1, where a lot of CWAC was going on...
This is interesting. The person she's answering is Life. A simple game related question, and Flop answers it. This could be an attempt to show some interaction between scumbuddies without actually having an interaction.
Explaining why No Lynching isn't smart. It's interesting to note that, until this point, Flop's game related comments have been logistical or setup (role PM formatting, American game shows vs. British game shows, and speculating on how many mislynches town can afford.
I quoted this post before and I had felt it somewhat scummy even then. Flop refers to a Slife wagon, when there was no Slife wagon, and doesn't put another vote on Elementar, despite saying that, out of everybody she's been able to read, he is "the most likely to flip scum." Strong language, but not voting means that she doesn't take an official stance one way or the other.
Her explanation for why she never placed a vote. Life said something similar. Personally, I just think that neither of them wanted anything to do with this lynch, because they knew what the outcome would be. (Not that Elementar was the doctor, by any means, but that Elementar was Town.)
Zexy's reasoning for trusting Flop is still unchanged and based on that one post, right at the very beginning of the game, that confirms that her role PM is formatted role, then end. As I pointed out above, scum PMs were exactly the same formatting.
Beginning of D2. Zexy has voted for Life at this point. Assuming that scum had either a) rolecopped Zexy N1, or b) caught on to Zexy's ridiculous cop puns, a vote on Life from Zexy would not be viewed as coincidental. Note his two reasons for voting Flop.
1. Life did the exact same thing.
2. What's another good way of distancing yourself from your scumbuddies? Voting for them.
This was the second reason that Zexy trusted Flop, and he added her to our conversation after this post from Life. I, on the other hand, think that Life's vote on Flop could have been a clever distancing tactic that, whether or not Life survived, would put Flop in a better position.
Flop, having been included in my private chat with Zexy, knew at this point that there was a definitive cop scan against Life. Her vote here is not genuine, because she knows that if she doesn't vote for Life, she'll immediately become suspicious. Interestingly enough, as Slife points out below, her reasoning for voting for Life is rather...lacking. It seems like she's voting for Life, but trying to sweep as much information under the rug as she can.
Granted, we'd decided not to mention the cop check on Life to be able to see people's genuine reactions to a Life lynch, so she wouldn't have just come out and say it, but she literally put in nothing except for "Since he's definitely Mafia."
Slife's vote on Flop feels genuine. His reasons are valid, and, as he mentions, Flop's habits of hoping on wagons last minute is consistent with her scum meta. Additionally, by giving no rationale for voting Life, Flop isn't helping town.
Even her one vote is CWAC.
*gasp* *pant*
Anyway, combine all that with the fact that she made a role claim that she has yet to prove, despite Zexy telling her how to prove her claim, and I find Flop to be very scummy.
If ME thought I had "duped" zexy, why didn't he approach Zexy with those concerns? He claims he found Life to be scummy before he heard of the cop check, but I see no evidence of this.Agreed. I think Zexy got duped, which is unfortunate.
Very true. Of the people on Life's bandwagon, it is entirely possible that one is scum, seems probable, in fact. Flop was the last one aboard, and had no choice considering that she knew of the cop check.
Zexy is cleared.
Sunsette voted second, without knowing about a cop check, which looks good.
ME was trusted by Zexy, attempted to act as Zexy's meatshield, and found Life to be scummy before Zexy claimed to me. Voted for Life knowing about the cop check, but giving valid reasons and rationale.
Flop was trusted by Zexy, though his reasoning seemed faulty. Barely interacted with Life before voting. Voted for Life with no reasoning that was useful to Town.
She knew about the cop check, so even if it was a slip, it's explainable. I still don't like that she gave no other reasoning for voting for Life. As I said above, even her one vote was CWAC.
