Deep Space 9 Mafia - Game Over!

I am fine w the lynch bit I think cabd and ms srs both scummier

So Josh, if you find both MS and cabd scummier than Urist, how do you reconcile that apparent rift in power claims?
I also agree Urist is looking pretty bad right now, but you donā€™t think itā€™s maybe one or the other between cabd and MS? Or is it that you find each scummy but NOT mafia together? Surely if you find them both scummy youā€™d at least want to lynch between them?

Pyx, you did. I called you out on it, which is why I remember. See below:

I know you have changed your view since, but these are the sorts of things that leave a bad taste.

I think thereā€™s one Scum in {Srceenplay, Urist, Mantis}. Skitter/Cabd might also be one, but not together with MS I wouldnā€™t think. And I still think thereā€™s a chance youā€™re one. You kicking back to life under pressure is rather interesting.

So yeah, youā€™re still wrong, because nowhere in there am I coming even close to what you said I said.

AND, I immediately clarifed that was NOT a vote on you, as indeed it never was, again as youā€™re repeatedly wrong in implying it was an active and valid vote.

I am voting ms, so yes

It isnā€™t a ā€œkicking back to lifeā€. Iā€™m on a different time schudule than most of those who threw down votes on me after I had retired for the day.

Otherwise, I think Iā€™d agree with where youā€™re looking for scum. Iā€™d say at this point itā€™s more likely Urist and cabd, unless itā€™s not.

What do you make of the MS note claim from _fferyllt?

So not the couple together then?

Iā€™ll shoot your question back at you, then. Tell me why, if you are so skeptical of the tracker claim, youā€™re not voting for Cabd?

Itā€™s either Mantis and Urist together in some capacity, or Srceenplay. Their interactions with Nanook are almost opposite in style (Urist and Mantis shading Nanook consistently but then calling him Town, and Srceenplay battling it out with Nanook and even voting for him but backing down). Between Mantis and Urist, I have reason to think that Urist is the more likely of the two.

So, if one of {Srceenplay, Urist} flips Town, I would think itā€™s likely the other is Scum.

Despite Cats shading my long posts, I explained why I think the above in detail in #2060, #2067, #2072, #2076 and #2131.

What did I say that you said? Beyond that you said that Parsec was looking at the game right [and I really donā€™t think this is a ridiculous interpretation of ā€œParsec was going better than meā€]? Thereā€™s an early post with Parsecā€™s views, so if you werenā€™t embracing them, you should have said so. You also seem to be distancing yourself markedly from a vote you put down that you didnā€™t bold. Which I never indicated or implied was a valid vote. Which is fine, but you seem to be trying to cast me as a fact-twister, when Iā€™m just giving you my honest interpretation of what you put down. If you didnā€™t want it interpreted as a vote valid in all but format, you shouldnā€™t have written ā€œVote: Andresā€. Itā€™s in the post I quoted. Again, not a stretch by any means.

Iā€™m not sure to which question youā€™re referring. You said I wasnā€™t acting like a Miller, that I hadnā€™t expressed skepticism of cabd, which Iā€™ve shown that I rather have, repeatedly. If, and I mean if, you are trying to control or force a vote I wonā€™t succumb to that. I know you seem a bit anxious to get on with it with 4 days left, though maybe you understand thatā€™s practically a whole game for those of us more used to 24/12. Yeah, I donā€™t want a repeat of yesterday either ā€“ if there was no consensus among town we shouldnā€™t have avoided those candidates who at least seemed scummy only to pick an absentee who had been in some process to turn that slot around, imo. But to me thereā€™s lots of time left ā€“ Iā€™m not even sure MS and cabd have finished their conversation regarding their partial claims.

After Iā€™ve FOSed you youā€™ve said youā€™re pretty sure your vote is staying on me today. Youā€™ve variously declared shimmering views on cabd yourself, but said, ā€œI still think that lynching either MS or Cabd is a bad idea, I not only think that theyā€™re both town, but also that the problem will solve itself with time.ā€ And that the, ā€œonly lynches Iā€™d be ok with today are pyx, Josh, and Screen; with big gaps between themā€.

Iā€™ve said quite frankly that I believe the detail of MSā€™s claim, and that Iā€™ve had cabd as townish when others did not. Thatā€™s certainly doesnā€™t mean Iā€™ve settled the matters for myself ā€“ Iā€™ve also expressed concerns over both claims that frankly some have thought ā€œnitpickingā€.

If youā€™re thinking ā€œmy questionā€ is somewhere in these questions of yours direscted toward Judge Mental, then please note Iā€™m quite aware of our GMā€™s history with mafia, likely as much as any other player in the game Iā€™d guess.

Youā€™re confident screenplay is mafia and yet expecting they are the Town Cop, when itā€™s been made clear their claim was fake? Or is it that you believe cabdā€™s Town Tracker claim but not parsecā€™s Miller claim giving creedence to the presence of a Town Cop? Or are you doubting the presence of any Town Miller and Town Cop to somehow strengthen your support of cabdā€™s Town Tracker claim? Or is it you either doubt or reinforce there being strong mafia roles in the remaining mafia?

So regardless of what you think ā€œmy questionā€ is, yeah, Iā€™m not yet prepared to vote cabd, because I think there might follow more to that conversation, Iā€™m unsure, and we have plenty of time left by my watch.

I am suspicious of the push on Josh. I donā€™t think heā€™s Scum (see #2072 for why). At the very least, I think there are other players we can flip that would certainly clarify whether he is or isnā€™t.

ā€œI also agree Urist is looking pretty bad right now, but you donā€™t think itā€™s maybe one or the other between cabd and MS?ā€ - #2362

" Iā€™d say at this point itā€™s more likely Urist and cabd, unless itā€™s not." -#2367

ā€œIā€™ve said quite frankly that I believe the detail of MSā€™s claim, and that Iā€™ve had cabd as townish when others did not. Thatā€™s certainly doesnā€™t mean Iā€™ve settled the matters for myself ā€“ Iā€™ve also expressed concerns over both claims that frankly some have thought ā€œnitpickingā€.ā€ -#2372

I find this all a bit fickle. As in, you seem to have certainty that itā€™s likely cabd, but then point out that youā€™ve had him as townish, when others have not. Why point that out?

Seems to me if you were scum, this would be a good way to point back and say, yep I was suspicious of cabd (if he flips scum) but also gives the opportunity to point back and say how you wanted to give him time and that you had him as towny, if he flips town. Its waffly.

As of now I guess you have it as likely urist and cabd?

Also in post 2360, thereā€™s also a somewhat lengthy explanation about cabd/skitters being town. Does this still hold for you? It sounds like you have it likely that the slot is town.

I know. Itā€™s puzzling, isnā€™t it.

Ya

I donā€™t think thereā€™s gonna be much more from cabd and ms.

Why does scum urist and nanook move the lunch together from cabd to smilodon? If 1) cabd was town. 2) If cabd flipped scum, wouldnā€™t they be outed?

Look, again, I thought I had been really transparent on cabd. He was nearly lynched yesterday: Cabd: 6 Andresvmb, Mantis, Josh, Judge Mental, Srceenplay, Nanook). Do you see me on that list? No. I had him as townish where several had him as mafia. And yes, Iā€™d think there is likely at least mafia on and off that wagon, just as there was with cats earlier.

Urist (who has cabd as town) was saying I never questioned my town read, was never skeptical of cabd. I pointed out where I have been. Ordinarilly, when someone steps out and says, ~ā€œI tracked MS to dead a dead _fferyllt muffinā€ weā€™d be voting MS. But there are several issues with the claims, all of which Iā€™ve gone over to the point of being called a nitpicker. Again, I donā€™t think that discussion is over.

If you and others want to colour that as pyx waffling Iā€™m OK with that. And yes, I find it interesting that Urist has said a town flip of cabd (which is where heā€™s at) likely means Urist is mafia.

Nanook was the last vote on cabd, putting him at L-1 with an hour and a half to go. The last previous vote on cabd was screenplay 33 minutes earlier. 47 minutes after Nanookā€™s vote with less than 45 minutes to go Urist starts the move to smilodon, with Nanook and Andres next moving with about 40 minutes left.

Maybe after waiting, players (of either alignment) thought the cabd lynch wasnā€™t happening. I believe itā€™s Andres (and maybe others) whoā€™ve seen the Nanook vote on cabd as a bus. Nanook, cats, and I each expressed openness to a no-lynch (cats even voted it at one point).

Convention would tell us mafia.would want town-cred were cabd one of their own, and would certainly want to spare him and lynch elsewhere if they could. Thatā€™s actually what happened by action, but itā€™s not what scum!Nanook expressed by faux desire. Mafia wanted a lynch of town and got one.

Now, why does mafia move the lynch from cabd to smilodon?

If cabd is town it could easily be after waiting 45 minutes they thought that lynch wasnā€™t happening. Iā€™d agree the move to smilodon would have been a big gamble over waiting the other wagon out.

If cabd is scum, some have already expressed that Nanook particularly looked sus with his vote, so yes, a definite outed look. Urist wasnā€™t on cabd, but Josh. I could see mafia not wanting to hammer either cabd or smilodon, regardless of their alignment. .

He had said if youā€™re so skeptical, how come no vote? Not that you werenā€™t skeptical

I think he said that if cabd flips scum itā€™ll look bad for him:
