Getting caught up I was afraid we were going to lynch Bak42 before he had a chance to respond the way the votes were piling on.

The thing is I can't imagine that Sweeney Tood would talk that way. I see this hairdresser as more of a Charles Nelson Riley type of person if you understand what I am saying.
I get you, you think he's... uh... he's got sugar in his socks. I know what you're saying? He's... uh... been to Arkansas. He's a friend of Wayne Sleep. Bit of a velvet turtle... etc. :D

would someone mind telling me the use of a miller? seems...pointless, to me.
Lynchbait. It's a way to give the town a weakness. You don't want to make the town too powerful so you give them some weak links. Millers are as good a way as any to do that.

Above everything else, the earliness of the replacement stands out for me right now.
Yeah, that does ring bells. Could either be scum, or a town power role. I know in Medical Mafia I replaced the FI quite quickly. Not on Day 1, but I didn't want to leave the town without it for long when SeanMcFly went AWOL.

I think there's still more than enough votes on Bak at the moment to pressure, while keeping us out of shenanigan range, so I'll hold my vote for now.

Forgot to say: Drillbit Taylor? Is that the awful thing with... I think it was Susan Sarandon, Billy Bob Thornton and somebody like Ashton Kutcher. His mum marries the dickhead P.E. teacher or something like that? Or am I getting confused?

It is Day 2. With 33 players remaining, it takes 17 to lynch. You have until Saturday 24th July, 1:00pm BST (8am EST) to achieve a majority. If a majority is not reached by then, a No Lynch will be declared.

Hey, quick heads up; a tornado ripped through my hometown, which happens to be the same town Astil is from/lives in, hit Plainville, Bristol, Hartford and I think Bridgeport in Connecticut. He may not respond due to internet being down/power outage so let's not take his silence as guilt on anything.


Also, thanks for the Miller explanations everyone ^.^

I'm going to withhold voting for now until I finish my field day in my barracks room here, and give things some thought/contemplation. Will be back in around an hour or so.

Glad we haven't rushed into this, but I still feel bak is the way to go here. Agree that we need to clarify the investigator now, as if there is something up I'd say it'll be at his end. But above that, the replacement stuff really makes me feel like bak is a big role, and that's bad if OLF is right. Worth going on especially given what we have on him.

Oh and Glot, :cool:

Well if we are gonna take our time lynching bak (because well, unless someone can somehow show a link to him in a write up, its the only move that makes sense atm) I'd like to return to Smartbomb and the Nexus deal.

If I didn't hint at being a Nexus, which I didn't, I would like to ask Smartbomb where the accusation comes from?

Specifically, if it was something you misread, then quote it for me. If it was something to do with a night action, explain to me how you, being a nexus, would arrive at me fake claiming it?

In other words, it being completely out of the blue, I am wondering if someone gave you some bad info... privately.

A power townie role can come up as a miller. Mostly is the case.

An example from way way back: Real Wrestling mafia I was part of the FBI: A mason group of 3 watchers.....but on investigation we came up as scum.

Win condition: same as town.

There you go for your miller thing.

I can vouch for that too, at EWB in their WCW Mafia game, the Four Horsemen (who at the time were face, and I was in that group) had the same win conditions as town, but we turned up scum when checked out because come on. Investigation.

Maybe he's a scum role cop and saw your description and turned it into him wanting to lynch you by saying he was a nexus?

Of course, that's far fetched but I've seen that gambit pulled before.

Coincidentally, in said WCW Mafia game.

Well I don't go out at night... neither would a nexus. But my character is like one of the last people someone would want to force to claim. I mean, he's probably known by the vast majority of people here and is obviously a good guy. If a scum group with a role cop wanted to start something, they'd pick someone else (assuming said role cop got character info as well).

Well toronto's wifi situation is almost as bad as boston's, 6 bucks to use a computer...BAH, at least there is free wifi in the lobby if not my room though.

Caught up on day 2, Bak seems the logical choice where we'll get the most answers from a lynch. Other than that I'm not sure where to point my golden finger of suspicion. Be back tonight at some point, tired of sitting in the lobby.

For what it's worth, I don't understand a single thing Smartbomb said outside of you saying you apparently are a nexus and you aren't one. I was just throwing out scenarios.

The thing about Drillbit Taylor is ... he's a pushover. He can't fight. That's the point of the 'comedy'. Look at this idiot try to teach these nerds how to fight when he can't.

So when you say "I'm who you want to keep alive as a outted investigator". That leads me to think you are claiming protector. Which does not match Drillbit.

07-22-2010, 08:38 PM
It's a role where, if targetted, it'll cause the person targetting you to instead target a different, randomly selected, player.

Wallbanger was one in Springfield, if memory serves correct. And was briefly dead until the mod remembered he shouldn't be able to be night killed.

I had that in Zim, except it didn't redirect, they just failed.

And Glot decided not to explain that to me until after I claimed to redirect, leading people to think I was changing my story. I swear if I had gotten lynched because of that, he'd be on my hitlist for forever. :p

Eh, if he has some form of protection he should get that out there along with claiming an investigator.

... um no, no he probably shouldn't.

I see Destiny beat me to the punch :P

Jesus Christ, I can't imagine your embarrassment... :p

Minimal push!? What the hell game were you reading? I was 5 votes away from a lynch, that's a pretty strong push in my (admittedly biased) opinion.

True enough.

The votes really did fly on, didn't they? I took a nap before OLF came on, and after I woke up, there were over ten votes. Gotta think there were atleast a few scum doing that...

would someone mind telling me the use of a miller? seems...pointless, to me.

The point is to add to the challenge for the town. He's a regular townie, that turns up scum, and often gets mislynched if he claims it only after being investigated.

Interesting.

Maybe you not being in when he first meets you is just part of the mechanic... as an explanation for why you don't just go out and kill Huertz that night? So he stays at your place until you come back, then you go off hunting?

Okay...

In the movie, if my memory serves correct, Drillbit Taylor is said to have taken an aptitude test... he scored low in basically everything except "protective instincts".

I'm sorry, but he makes PERFECT sense as a protector... even if a bit of a crappy one.

And we're not discussing anything, and folks just jump in going "well, we gotta lynch someone!" and throwing down votes. This is gonna end up being a mostly wasted phase if bak is town. I know people we say (in Don Knotts's voice) "But gee, C-Bot, now we know OLF gets wonky results!" I don't think it's worth a dead protector, but that's just me.

Whatever, gonna go book some APWF. Just hit Cult, brought in the great Crippler Ray Kingman... starting to shape up to be awesome.

You mention not discussing anything and then leave?

What is it you think we should be discussing?

I've asked the people supposedly linked last night if they see themselves in a write up, either they don't know or don't want to answer. I've read the Wiki entry on Drillbit, and the character seems so patently inept that maybe I could almost buy it as lynchbait.

There is one thing that could be discussed, that may possibly dissuade me.

Assume most folks would think Drillbit is an obscure character. Given OLF's hints, his character isn't obscure. I know mine isn't, at least to people here. Are there a bunch of oddball, barely known characters in this game? Would you consider yours to be obscure?


Hell, then again for all I know, maybe that is who the bad guys are... obscure characters from movie flops, jealous at the more popular characters and out for revenge.

Can anyone with more knowledge about this say I'm wrong?

I get you, you think he's... uh... he's got sugar in his socks. I know what you're saying? He's... uh... been to Arkansas. He's a friend of Wayne Sleep. Bit of a velvet turtle... etc. :D

Exactly that is why I think our hairdresser is a fan of Judy Garland. Therefore, I think it might be worth thinking about which movies have these types of hairdressers in them so maybe we might know what we are dealing with.

You mention not discussing anything and then leave?

What is it you think we should be discussing?

I've asked the people supposedly linked last night if they see themselves in a write up, either they don't know or don't want to answer. I've read the Wiki entry on Drillbit, and the character seems so patently inept that maybe I could almost buy it as lynchbait.

There is one thing that could be discussed, that may possibly dissuade me.

Assume most folks would think Drillbit is an obscure character. Given OLF's hints, his character isn't obscure. I know mine isn't, at least to people here. Are there a bunch of oddball, barely known characters in this game? Would you consider yours to be obscure?


Hell, then again for all I know, maybe that is who the bad guys are... obscure characters from movie flops, jealous at the more popular characters and out for revenge.

Can anyone with more knowledge about this say I'm wrong?

I have no problem telling everyone about my character. Because nobody will figure out who this person is anyway. My character was from a blockbuster but would not be considered the star. Heck I would not even consider the character to be second banana in the movie either.

Hey, I have stuff to do in life... can't spend ALL day on mafia, hehe.

That said... yeah, I'd call my character rather obscure. Never even heard of them until this game, though I'm very aware of the film from which my character comes. Just not the person you'll think of first or probably even second from that movie.

No, pretty sure the "bad guys" are just straight up movie villian types.

And yes, there's no other hard evidence floating about... but people rely far, far too hard on that. Folks should follow their guts more, and that's the kind of discussion I'd like to see. Only lynching when someone has night results leads to scum victory pretty often.

I try to do that and some of the time I am right but nobody listens (ie The Shape in DBZ and Prophet in Futurama). And it will always come around to the one question, "What evidence do you have?" and if you say going by your gut nobody will bother.

In Zim, Jaded and I could talk to each other and I still thought he was lying to me.:D And Jaded this is not be trying to be a jerk, this is me pointing out that you are a very good underrated player who people should pay attention to but they never do.

SuperOwens: Totally Scum in this game because he is being silent. If he was town he would be one of the driving forces in the game.

Now once again these are just my opinions and I do not have evidence one way or the other.

To be honest, I think Anti actually might have a point with the whole "Characters of Movies That Flopped" Group.

I mean, bak is claiming Drillbit Taylor. Not sure if he's said Protector, or Bodyguard, or what. But either way, with a scum result on him.

We have an assumed role-blocking hairdresser who could likely be this Zohan fella, from that Adam Sandler movie that floundered.

I honestly don't find it too hard to believe that they might be some form of secondary scum group. Don't get me wrong, I expect there to be a scum group stock full of movie villains...

But now that Anti's made such a suggestion, that seems equally as plausible, with the current write-up's that we have. We need to remember they're at an award ceremony. I could see characters in crap movies being jealous, no?

I guess all I've got to say, is that I'll likely be keeping my vote on. It's my ability and result that started this. I don't think I'm faulty. I don't 100% buy his claim. I may buy certain pieces of it. But as a whole? I just don't see it.

What they're saying is that perhaps there's a group of people that aren't villains from movies, but are leads from movies that bombed or weren't that popular.

Possible.

Here's the thing though, that would basically mean our characters know that they're just people from movies. Looking at the Opening Write-up, with the awkward silence, and the "This guy is a few sandwiches short of a picnic" line, it would appear that isn't the case.

If they don't know they're from movies, then would their movies failing even matter to them?

One comprised of the obvious villains, one comprised of sidekicks that were "jealous" at their more famous game brethren.

Hey now, that's not fully true. I'm very on and off among the games, I think rather most people don't notice me straight off the bat. Look back in Pokemon, Scrubs, and if you want a less themey game, my v1.0 (elf in SIN.

Even more recently, I was all over the place in Star Wars... before falling off the loop somewhere in the end. Then picked back up but barely.

I don't care if he targets me... like I said, I got a character thats obviously a good guy and is probably known by every male here. If he wants to say I'm scum after I claim, then the questions can start. Always in these sorts of scenarios I laugh at the prospect of anyone even pretending I seem suspicious. Its why I hold themed games with a bit of disinterest. The town has such a huge advantage. Even now the common speculation is Town = Good, heroic movie characters, scum = villains.

I am hoping the game turns out to be more nuanced than that, but even if it isn't, there are still the basics. Someone comes out claiming an investigator with a negative result, it gets tested. All the sad puppy dog eyes in the world don't change that.

Again, if someone wants to volunteer some more info that makes Drillbit Taylor seem more likely, or that could explain the investigation result, I could see room for doubt... but claiming a power role when faced with a scum result is the easiest thing in the world for scum to do.

WIFOM


Here is what is known... unless paired up or a mason, Town aligned people cannot know another person's alignment with 100% certainty.. not on day 2.

To defend someone that a claimed investigator says isn't town aligned requires more than just feelings to be persuasive, it requires evidence.

There is a line between saying "I don't think X is scum so I won't vote" to trying to convince other people that your feeling is correct.

Afterall, you could be right, or you could be wrong. Easiest way to tell is to lynch bak and see what the result is, but until some degree of certainty is ascertained, the truth is you can't know (unless you are scum) and moving from not voting to actively defending actually forces the issue even faster, because now people will want to see if there is a possible link.

As I briefly mentioned before, its actually a smooth way for scum to get townies lynched, but whether bak is town or scum, that answer will only known if he's lynched.

Bak claimed to be good aligned, and never mentioned anything about being a miller iirc, so a wrong result would be more of a framer/busdriver/ screwy investigator deal.

C-bot brings up a good point about OLF and the actor. Myself, the actor who played my character might even be a better choice for what he's suggesting, but alas, my role is based what happened/was said with the character in the movie, has nothing to do with the actor who played him.

Some protectors are millers. Can't say much more than that at the moment (no, I am NOT a protector).

I'm defending him because I believe him. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'll pay the price if I am. That said, in my mind a healthy protector is more valuable than one extra night where the investigation is a little more certain.

That, and Drillbit Taylor certainly makes sense as a protector... and almost as a Miller. Combined with the fact there's reason in my mind to doubt OLF's results, well...

Apparently, believing someone and trying to do more with 48 hours than kill him to see if the investigator is crazy or not makes me scum. Lulz.

I think I shall put my vote back, because if we do not get this out of the way now it is going to be like a Destiny Day (trademark Anti) everyday bak is kept in this game.

Vote: bak42

Well there is that too.

I suppose some think, well let it go and it will correct itself...

Thing is eitehr we lynch him (or if he is town scum kill him this night phase, which would be tremendously silly thing to do) or next dphase OLF comes in with another result on someone else and it will eitehr be town aligned and we lynch bak anyway, or scum and we lynch bak or the other guy to test OLF or Bak gets looked at by anotehr investigator who then has to out themselves to confirm or deny OLF.


Or just lynch him this phase and be done with it....

Some protectors are millers. Can't say much more than that at the moment (no, I am NOT a protector).

I'm defending him because I believe him. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'll pay the price if I am. That said, in my mind a healthy protector is more valuable than one extra night where the investigation is a little more certain.

That, and Drillbit Taylor certainly makes sense as a protector... and almost as a Miller. Combined with the fact there's reason in my mind to doubt OLF's results, well...

Well if it means anything C-Bot I think you are probably town because when you are Scum you do not tend to post as much (And yes I know that is a stupid reason for thinking someone is town).

And yes I laughed off MLT's vote because it was for a stupid reason. So let me see...I can't say Mandy Moore is good looking because that makes me Scum. I can't say Don't Taze Me Bro because that will get me killed. Looks like I am not allowed to say much!:D

A little chaos is nice. Wouldn't tell a paranoid investigator "by the way, everyone you investigate will come up scum!"

I think Millers should be strongly hinted at in the PM, maybe not explicitly stated. That said, the fact Drillbit Taylor starts the film looking for an excuse to rob a bunch of innocent people very well COULD be that hint.

Or bak could be lying and is scum.

I will say I'm stuck on this one, but I see the point in the lynch. It will answer some questions. It just stinks if he is who he claims to be, then we are down a protector. That helps scum more than it helps us.

I hope he comes up scum, but something tells me he won't. If he does yay for us though.

If Astil needs to find Mr Smith and he has been outted, what's to stop scum from killing one or the other tonight? I mean seriously if the person they are hunting can be killed, or is in a group with a kill, that's where the kill will most likely go. IF they are telling the truth.

Mods are of course free to do what they want. My personal opinion is that a good mod would inform the player before hand.

There are plenty of role variations at say, Mafiascum, which pretty much doom the player who gets them to death (and in some cases) a loss. But I think the history here at GDS is pretty much that sort of thing is discouraged.. to the point that a mod would probably look bad if he did something major (like give a negative alignment check upon investigations) and didn't tell that player in the role PM.

I really don't think asking players to read their role PM and make their own, educated decision is asking too much. It's only dooming the townie if there's absolutely ZERO evidence he's a miller when he is one. If you don't take the time to read your role PM and figure out that something might be amiss, then it's your own fault.

Shouldn't that have also meant Glot was the obvious kill choice, therefore scum knew it meant he was also the obvious protect choice? Maybe think that since he's so obvious someone ELSE might protect/watch him, and you should keep an eye on someone, spread out the town's resources a bit.

That's not a nexus, that's just untargetable. I seem to recall you creating chaos in that Zim game over the definition of nexus.

Not gonna lie, I saw the message in my PM and just assumed that you going out was the reason I couldn't find you.

Blehk. I suck at this.

Maybe it was a game thing, like explaining why I didn't see you, go 'sup, let's kill some peeps' and we went off on our way.

My PM states, paraphrasing. You found Mr. Smith! You will be able to use him to help take down Karl Hertz tomorrow night.

Sorry about adding in assumptions. Rookie move.

That's the second noteable mistake in this game. Reminds me of Sci-fi Chaos you played dumb about most things, if I recall correctly.

:rolleyes:

Well your "vibes" will be wrong once again. Don't worry you can apologize to me after the game is over. Because as Dr. Cox once said you will be (And when you read this think about a grandfather clock.), " Wrong,Wrong, Wrong, Wrong,Wrong Wrong, Wrong, Wrong....You're WRONG!":D

More chatty? If anything I am less chatty because I really have nothing to say except trying to figure out who the hairdresser might be.

Should have gone with Edge not Dr. Cox. :D



There's a case to be made for Drillbit (without seeing the movie) but I'm a down-the-line man, I didn't let shenanigans take over in SW and I won't here. We got a scum result. If he comes up town, we've lost the miller but it also means there's a very small chance of any other miller thus OLF can be trusted from this point on. You're never gonna have a sure lynch but there's an awful lot to be gained from this lynch even in worse case scenario.

For what it's worth though I don't think not informing the player he's a miller is in any way a bastard move as a mod.

Personally, I don't think he's Drillbit, although I do think he's a protector. I think he's scum and protected a team-mate. The smaller facts in his favour I believe are the result of the claim not being thought through. I'll be sort of around for a couple more hours then I'm away for a few days so unless I hear anything drastic in the next few hours I will vote for Bak.

I'm not saying I know he's town or scum, but Do scum usually follow the same pattern each game? Do they attack the same people? I mean hell why doesn't town win every game? They have a certain person they HAVE to target each night.

Why does my record of survival mean anything? Am I not worth a check on night 1 once in a blue moon? WTF. You claim his argument seems off. BUT this whole bit about "oh scum wouldn't do this or scum wouldn't do that" seems off to me.

Scum don't necessarily have to target the same person on the first night of every game, and they generally don't. However, targetting you for a kill would still be a very odd move considering how large the amount players in the game is.

So my chances of being targeted are lower than others. Please explain this logic to me, because as I'm reading this it comes across to me as

"You're not good enough for a kill on night1"

Exactly. Unless the investigator is an indy, then he/she should just have the invesigatory powers. Unless it is Chuck Norris. But he would be a PGO or PBO. Maybe even a PRK (Paranoid Roundhouse Kicker).

Think you've missed my point. I was trying to say that if you were gonna make an investigator hard to kill, it would be more than likely that he was a normal investigator.

I don't see it, I don't think a normal one would be harder to kill. I don't even think it would be a good idea to throw in. I can think of better people to be harder to kill.

I'm not saying it's wrong, because we don't know.

I'm just saying the odds of a harder to kill investigator is a bit much to me. If he were a miller and was paranoid it would be a bit more believable, but maybe I'm wrong too. :)

If we lynch bak42 today and he comes up scum then we'll have a valuable townie resource to use for the rest of the game assuming the townies with active abilities choose their targets wisely.Execpt for the fact that I'll come up town and you'll lose a valuable townie resource.

I think there's still more than enough votes on Bak at the moment to pressure, while keeping us out of shenanigan range, so I'll hold my vote for now.What more is there to get out of me? I've given you my role title and told you everyone I've targeted, about the only thing left is what I do and several people have already figured that out anyway.

Change Vote: Bak42

The thing about Drillbit Taylor is ... he's a pushover. He can't fight. That's the point of the 'comedy'. Look at this idiot try to teach these nerds how to fight when he can't.

So when you say "I'm who you want to keep alive as a outted investigator". That leads me to think you are claiming protector. Which does not match Drillbit.You may not think it fits, but that's my role.

or Bak roleblocked you and is trying to claim protector...

occam's razorNo, Occam's razor in this case would be I'm telling the truth about my role.

Vote: bak42

Not lynching by day 2 makes for a dull game.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w166/bak42/icon_facepalm.gif

Also seem to remember that she knew she was a miller of sorts.

Either its a major point Bak forgot to mention, or we have a mod who likes to put miller's into the game without telling them they are millers.

Assuming Bak is being honest... of course.

I already said that my role PM doesn't say anything about me being a miller. It mentions that I'm a bum, which could be why I'd come up scum, but it doesn't specifically say that I'm a miller. Heck, if it had, I would have said it back on day 1 to prevent this sort of situation.

At this point, I'm seriously close to just saying "screw it," voting for my own lynch and hoping that when I come up Good aligned the town takes a good hard look at those people pushing for my lynch.

Astil

No, Mr. Razor would be lynching the person who came up scum.

Tha Black Phenom
07-23-2010, 11:59 AM
Because I have a strong feeling he's scum. Couple of other folks to some extent, too, but I like to look into people one at a time and he's the one person who's really stood out to me in that regard.

Obviously I have no evidence, but I rarely do. Just the way he's acting... just seems like it isn't his natural self.

Fine. You and I are gonna straighten this ish out tomorrow.

I know the difference between a protector and a roleblocker. My question was could a BODYGUARD do both. There was no confusing the two things.

That'd be a jailer.

I'm not saying I know he's town or scum, but Do scum usually follow the same pattern each game? Do they attack the same people? I mean hell why doesn't town win every game? They have a certain person they HAVE to target each night.

Why does my record of survival mean anything? Am I not worth a check on night 1 once in a blue moon? WTF. You claim his argument seems off. BUT this whole bit about "oh scum wouldn't do this or scum wouldn't do that" seems off to me.

So my chances of being targeted are lower than others. Please explain this logic to me, because as I'm reading this it comes across to me as

"You're not good enough for a kill on night1"

Quite frankly I find that insulting, but whatever.

I'm just glad we all know who and when scum are going to target. This game should be a slam dunk for town. Yay for us. :)

It's not insulting and you know it. It's just the pecking order of things. Just look at it as... there's a reason why you stay alive so often. I'm not gonna go farther than that. Doesn't mean you're not eligible for a cover or anything but going by what history taught us... covering you has a high chance of being an uneventful tactic.

You're proactive when can be. If anything you're kinda dangerous because you like to make the town talk, but coming back to the main point if I was a protector, I'd rely on high probabilities.

If you want another valid reason for why there would be reluctance to cover you, I would hazard a guess you'd play the exact same if you ever became full-fledged scum. I won't lie, every game that kicks off I get wary looks at you. I never know when you'll finally be scum and we won't get to catch upon it quicker than usual.

Now, having said all that, I don't think protecting you is COMPLETELY out of the blue, or 100% unrealistic. Far from it. I'm just judging on the odds.

Just thought I'd say that there would be absolutely no point in me hinting at my role, if you're just going to publically guess at it.

Most people who know read my all of my hints, and looked into them, know who I am. As you can see, none of them have blatantly stepped forward and said who I am, as that would have defeated even hinting, in the first place.

I'm not John McClane. I'm sure looking back at all the hints, (I mean, I only have about six posts in thread, anyway), I'm sure you can figure it out. But to not render the effort that went into hinting, and people figuring it out on their own, useless, it's probably best you just look into it, and keep it to yourself.

We can now bank that I'm Paranoid, Insane, or Random.

Which as unlikely as that is, is the only soloution I've got.

Drillbit Taylor isn't Miller Material. I doubt Mafia Framed Him.

But hey, at least we know somethings up.

Well, I agree with C-bot on the going with your gut, hence my vote not being there. Come day we need to look at all those votes that flew on rather quickly.

Or we could look at the people that did not vote on him so that they could use it as "cover" for saying exactly what you just said.:p (See how easy it is to paint someone else as scum?)
