Well, it is flavour speculation, but assuming Jack the Ripper is an SK is a logical assumption... considering Jack the Ripper was a serial killer. "What if he is Jack the Ripper" is a roundabout way of accusation, except it's harder to pin down.
Now the reason you dislike the post has changed to saying promatim meant to slyly accuse Seppel of being a SK...
No bloody clue. It's definitely random; perhaps he believed a serial killer would rile up the town more than random scumminess, or he couldn't think of anything better? =P
... but when asked about why you think he meant Seppel was an SK, you said you didn't have an answer followed by an actual answer that makes sense.
I'm not sure he fully realised that he was suggesting that Seppel is an SK, but that's what he did.
This is the second time that you have given said that Promatim was not accusing Seppel of being an SK.
I don't see how those thoughts combine, and I think you cannot justify thinking Promatim's post was scummy because you don't believe it was scummy - just a convenient post to grab onto. unvote, vote Talore
"So, Emo_Pinata, it seems your strategy of grinding Talore down with tedium and then voting for him when he fails to care enough about your hair splitting has worked well."
@AsianInvasion - Please precisely explain to me how the second sentence of your quote is proven.
<sighs>
"You've just read the thread, so you know how much like a stuck record AsianInvasion is. Same assertions over and over. Backing the same people. Trashing the same people."

It's not exactly hair splitting to make people stand behind what they say. Talore clearly does not on multiple occasions to multiple people.

I don't see enough new evidence to change my vote from aquajolt to Chubbz. He is lurking and mildly suspicious, and is higher on my scumdar now though. I'm surprised he lurked through the cracks of my first analysis, and that is a little disturbing.
lurked through the cracks? Feel like I'm reading a great novel of sorts!
I've being keeping up with the thread and have been waiting for the replacement (you) to enter the fray.
So from your big post yesterday today then your post just now, I'm suppose to have posted between then? sorry I've had priorities between then and not enough time in one sitting to make a post.
Although I can find out why KS reacted or posted what he said, I don't believe that will have any impact on the game currently. What's done is done and I'll just have to move on from it. I will though try and make sense of some of his posts.
Quote from KS »
I may just be a dimwitted unobservant moron, or I may just not have played Mafia on MTGS/with Seppel before, but what's so scummy about Seppel?
Quote from pass »
Self-deprecation. For me this is a HUGE tell in a game of mafia. Townies are always confident in at least their own role in the town, so there is no room for self-deprecation in our mindset. Self-deprecation is kind of a jovial, easy-going thing and it detracts attention, making it a good plan for scum. Then resorts to his own lack of meta for the reason to NEED other people to tell him his opinion of Seppel? GGkthxbai.
Yes, KS did ask for an opinion of the group as oppose to formulating his own opinion on it or directly asking a question to Seppel. I've been the victim of the same thing in my ongoing game as a first timer. If you have doubts in game or you honestly don't understand an element of a discussion, the best thing to do is re-read or ask a non-dumb question.
Quote from KS »
How am I scum? Is it because of that suggestion about the poem? Well, that's the way my mind works. Have you ever read the Redwall books? There's a lot of stuff involving similar riddles etc in them. I read those books so many times when I was younger (and still do from time to time) and whenever I came across a puzzle in a book I hadn't yet read or hadn't read in ages I would challenge myself to solve the riddle if possible before I read the answer. I'm hardwired ro look at things that way. I looked at it and the first thing I noticed was that it talked about a total of six numbers and there were six rows of dashes. I couldn't figure out what exactly was the purpose of the dashes/blanks, so that was as far as I got.
Quote from pass »
OMG look how huge this post is in comparison to his others? SURELY there must be some substance in here? *reads* hmm. Reaction, red herring, mentions puzzle-skills (but couldn’t figure out why people were against seppel earlier?) and then ends in NOTHING.
Seriously awful play here folks. Clearly a scum, only 11 posts kind-of lurking, no opinions of his own, makes a lot of unimportant flavor speculation, and nothing else.
Again he's looking at it in a different light that isn't the 'norm' for a townie. Yes he's looking at something and asking random, stupid questions. I can't say why he posted those incomplete and random thoughts. Especially if there was no content and reasoning in them. again what's done is done and I can't change what he said earlier in the thread.
You haven't convinced me in full to invoke me to lift my vote off of you. But you have qualmed some of my suspcions. For now my vote stands till I revisit my scum lists and re-analzye my other suspects.

The second sentence is talking about Chubbz. Notice how I didn't mention him earlier yet I did a PBPA analysis of krackshott (your role ). I was under the impression that using a pronoun in the English language is a reference back to the last used noun. You are overreacting and affronted, and seemingly struggling for reprieve, which is why I'm not taking my vote off of you for Chubbz scuminess.

roger that. I don't think it's such a surprise though to consider that you were talking about me instead of Chubbz. I admit I was confused.

Ummm...because he's just started actually posting and I don't feel scum on him.
However, because I don't know how to multiquote, @Chubbz: The fact that there's a bunch of veterans in this game and the fact that there are 22 people is just not good reasoning for you to not respond to posts aimed at you. And even then, those are the only ones you DO respond to. Unvote Seppel

Then what was the FOS for? ☺☺☺☺s and giggles?
You didn't explain anything... so what was the point in engaging?
FOS was to relay my suspicion. It's not "Ha, you're scum, die!" it's "Hmmm, you look suspicious, your actions are noted, etc." Feel free to keep flogging a dead horse, though.

So if you didn't feel he was scum, why answer my questions at all?
Hi guys, I'm mostly up-to-date with the thread (I've been keeping an eye on it with an aim to providing support to Monkey), I'll just have to read over the vague notes I've been taking to see if there's anything of use that I can put forward straight away...
If anyone has any questions for me that aren't related to Monkey's level of activity, I'd be happy to answer them.
BECAUSE WE HAVE A SERIAL KILLER TO LYNCH holy god people
You seem very certain of that. I apologise if I've missed a post in which you've already addressed this, but is that based on any more than Promatim's offhand "Jack the Ripper" comment?

Absolutely. Combine that with an 1880's birth decade claim (which was, in fact, the decade of the beginning of Jack the Ripper's killing spree), and tada, you've got the SK.

Yep, as I said I've been reading the thread for a couple of weeks now so that I could help Monkey, although I didn't know I'd actually be replacing him. Lucky, really, I'd hate to be dropped into this particular game cold, it's massive already.
Absolutely. Combine that with an 1880's birth decade claim (which was, in fact, the decade of the beginning of Jack the Ripper's killing spree), and tada, you've got the SK.
That still seems like a hell of a leap... While not impossible, the fact that the decades don't line up (it could be argued that the persona of "Jack the Ripper" was "born" when whoever it was started killing people, but again, that's a very big assumption to make), combined with the fact that he has nothing to do with the Lovecraft mythos should at least be able to create doubt in your mind.
Call that mod-gaming if you will, I'm not suggesting that it's conclusive evidence that there isn't a serial killer in the game, but it should be enough to dispel some of your suspicion. I only say this because wearing serial-killer-blinkers isn't going to help catch scum.
BECAUSE WE HAVE A SERIAL KILLER TO LYNCH holy god people
yes I'd much rather lynch on your awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful flavor than my analysis that is both correct and good
why does nobody want to lynch aquajolt, I don't understand
I think I could get behind lynching him.
Is there a deadline yet? I actually think this day has gone on too long and we need to make a decision pretty soon. I'm already not looking forward to doing a reread.
I really do agree that we just need to lynch somebody on our confirmed scum list and move the **** on.
Options: Krackshott, Chubbz, AI.
PICK ONE AND VOTE.
Seriously, this day has dragged on for TWENTY SIX PAGES. And most of it is useless filler.

If I may suggest a course of action, rather than decide who to lynch, why not determine who not to. There's 22 of us, it'll be useful if we all see where our opinions on allignment lie.

I have a large list of players I'm not willing to vote, and players I've cleared as town. I am not, however, going to tell you either of these lists.

People go off of what they see. The fact of the matter is that you're constantly looking worried about your image, as yoss said this isn't the only post you've looked worried.
well, we've got 2 scenarios that could happen here.
A.) i don't respond to posts made at me, act like a jackass who doesn't read the thread, and get hammered for said jackassness.
b.) i respond to those posts, (which combined with my lurking) gets me in deeper ☺☺☺☺ with all of you than no saying anything at all.
see my initiative here? don't post, get attacked. post, get attacked. get attacked, get attacked.
@Chubbz could we get some lists, analysis, or SOMETHING out of you? Because as of right now you are one of the least contributing people, and flew so far under the radar I forgot to even mention you in my entire analysis of the thread.
those are really good points on A.) why bringing up a SK from left field while being a SK would be stupid as hell B.) why a name claim wouldn't be all that useful to town, whereas mafia could make a better judge off PR's from it.

OK, lemme get this straight. I'm not allowed to be intimidated by veteran mafia players in a large 22 person game, and then I'm scum because i don't respond to posts aimed at me, but then I'm scum because that's all i do. OK, now i got it. -.-
Players (Fun with colors)
Emo_Pinata: has been 'talking' with dagger for the last how many pages. like everyone else has said seems like two townies has a small slap fight. though he's seemed more aggressive with questions to him recently (see his posts toward dagger, and Talore.) leaning town Some One: Talore: besides the recent posts about talking to E_P about his actions earlier in the thread, i can't recall anything really outstanding/relevent about his posts atm. nuetral nacho wizard: Aggressive. Aggressive what i don't know, but aggressive nonetheless ($20 says he'll swear at me for saying that) Aggressive town? (yes it gets it's own category) Promatimpassislisk: Promatim's lackluster near contentless posts put his as noob scum imo, but the serial killer fiasco put him as a SK in the sights of various players (i swear it's the red scare with SKer's) but i don't think he's a SK, just that Promatim speculates too much from nothing. desCoures: the only real thing i've seen from him are posts asking lots of questions about all kind of things. flavor, reasoning, screw-ups, backpedaling, etc. leaning town. burboy: still shooting for KS's aquajet's lynch from KS's bad start to the game. has a strange posting interaction with Nacho, and varies with aggression levels. aggressive town Fenris: His last post asked Kpaca for criteria to make his cleared town list, I'd call that fishing for town cues. FOS: Fenris. Leaning scum Calvin: another non outstanding poster, and is gone for two weeks (currently unconscious from being hit by a moose) unconscious nuetral Seppel: i would note Seppel's immature and near flame like comments, but that's just seppel being seppel. Claimed vanilla town (Fu Xi?) with an item (the book of changes if i recall right?) yet still getting flak for the random SK mentality that seems to have engulfed players like the red scare. I think the SK talk is BS, and as such am dropping my suspicions on seppel. (IMO) Town. Kpaca's gonna hit me for that, but i don't care. TeknoLink: Claimed Town Doppleganger. while the charcter flavor (could) fit, i'm still leery (from never hearing doppleganger as a PR before) and the possibility of the ballziest Godfather claim ever. AlphaInsidious: hasn't posted much lately, and i can't remember wtf his last post was even about. idk nuetral AsianInvasion: ☺☺☺☺ing Scum-hunter extraordinaire. Town. Even though he's grilling my ass most of the time. kpaca: His play how i wanna play and don't take your BS attitude has had people saying he's town almost from the beginning, that and scumhunting (or dunking, as he puts it sometimes?) Town. bateleur: box talking, apastrophe using mystery. also seems to be english. that could be the avatar though. no clue here. Dagger: mainly talking with E_P, and the whole town V town slap fight thing again. leaning town KrackShottAquajolt27: KS posted next to nothing, besides random question, and flavor speculation, but aquajolt is doing a better job. KS could have been newb town or scum, but Aquajet seems town. Monkey_Playing_MTGCastle: While Monkey's activity level was even worse than my own (shocking i know), Castle (by watching his play of the last CC mafia) should step the content/posts up way more than monkey, though re-reading monkey and watching how castle goes from here should be by next thing after i post this Nuetral. Cyouni: under memory range again nuetral SGT_Chubbz: Lurking Contentless Scum. hang his ass. Oh wait.... The_Muffin_Man:last post screams inpatient scum. "let's just hang one of these 3 people i deem scum, cuz i'm bored and all this is worthless chatter"
isn't it in the town's favor to slow down lynches, giving scum more time to out themselves by screwing up/being impatient?
You're my best scum atm TMM. Vote: TMM seratonin: again under memory. nuetral
Seppel, easy on the caps lock there dude.
also, pardon the mass amount of smileys. it's taken me nearly 4 hours 7+ hours to make this post with interruptions. needless to say, if i look at this thread before tomorrow, i'll shoot myself. @TMM: Which AI.

Of course, one respects wishes for privacy considering when the person in question has been the most vocal crusader the entire game. (Information is power, so the secrecy is understandable)

Seriously, if you feel that strongly about the presence of a serial killer, convince me! Bear in mind that I don't consider the claimed birth-decade to be evidence in favour of this, so hopefully you have something else to support your viewpoint.

That's consistent with how kpaca played town in the last clan mafia, so I'm not going to read anything into that in isolation.
My notes, on second viewing, were disappointingly non-specific, so I'm currently re-looking at particular players who drew my attention (for whatever reason) to see if my gut reaction is justified. I'll post something more specific shortly, definitely withing the next 24 hours.

1) Promatim raves about a serial killer. Calling attention to the likelihood of an anti-town neutral on D1 is a very strong indication of that person being an anti-town neutral.
The way I read his flavor sounds like a cult leader.
I'll give you one guess who was the cult leader.
2) Jack the Ripper has no known birth year. So when asked to claim a birth year, Promatim said the first decade he knew of: The 1880's. New Promatim's refusal to nameclaim and strict adherence to Cthulhu flavor leads me to believe New Promatim didn't have a nameclaim ready. Hell, I had no idea this game was about Cthulhu until people started mentioning the dude.
3) Promatim backpedals like hell on his first accusation in the game. Anti-town behavior.
Promatim says:
... but when asked about why you think he meant Seppel was an SK, you said you didn't have an answer followed by an actual answer that makes sense.
This is the second time that you have given said that Promatim was not accusing Seppel of being an SK.
I don't see how those thoughts combine, and I think you cannot justify thinking Promatim's post was scummy because you don't believe it was scummy - just a convenient post to grab onto. unvote, vote Talore

Yep, as I said I've been reading the thread for a couple of weeks now so that I could help Monkey, although I didn't know I'd actually be replacing him. Lucky, really, I'd hate to be dropped into this particular game cold, it's massive already.
Ah, someone you know on another forum, perhaps? I thought it was a bit early for affectionate nicknames...
That still seems like a hell of a leap... While not impossible, the fact that the decades don't line up (it could be argued that the persona of "Jack the Ripper" was "born" when whoever it was started killing people, but again, that's a very big assumption to make), combined with the fact that he has nothing to do with the Lovecraft mythos should at least be able to create doubt in your mind.
Call that mod-gaming if you will, I'm not suggesting that it's conclusive evidence that there isn't a serial killer in the game, but it should be enough to dispel some of your suspicion. I only say this because wearing serial-killer-blinkers isn't going to help catch scum.
yes I'd much rather lynch on your awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful flavor than my analysis that is both correct and good
I think I could get behind lynching him.
Is there a deadline yet? I actually think this day has gone on too long and we need to make a decision pretty soon. I'm already not looking forward to doing a reread.
Options: Krackshott, Chubbz, AI.
PICK ONE AND VOTE.
Seriously, this day has dragged on for TWENTY SIX PAGES. And most of it is useless filler.

Why aren't you on the list? I mean, you couldn't possibly have meant confirmed scum anyway...
Oh my god, not you too!
I'm never going to get through to anyone.
I'm going to continue ignoring you.
So many directions.

I have a large list of players I'm not willing to vote, and players I've cleared as town. I am not, however, going to tell you either of these lists.
But thank you for asking.
Posts content. actually gives content. doesn't speculate about flavor contantly. also isn't bringing up random neutral PR's from out of nowhere.
I never said it did?
well, we've got 2 scenarios that could happen here.
A.) i don't respond to posts made at me, act like a jackass who doesn't read the thread, and get hammered for said jackassness.
b.) i respond to those posts, (which combined with my lurking) gets me in deeper ☺☺☺☺ with all of you than no saying anything at all.
see my initiative here? don't post, get attacked. post, get attacked. get attacked, get attacked.
see later in post;
those are really good points on A.) why bringing up a SK from left field while being a SK would be stupid as hell B.) why a name claim wouldn't be all that useful to town, whereas mafia could make a better judge off PR's from it.
this.
This tells me absolutely nothing as to wtf (why the ☺☺☺☺) you want me dead.
OK, lemme get this straight. I'm not allowed to be intimidated by veteran mafia players in a large 22 person game, and then I'm scum because i don't respond to posts aimed at me, but then I'm scum because that's all i do. OK, now i got it. -.-
Players (Fun with colors)
Emo_Pinata: has been 'talking' with dagger for the last how many pages. like everyone else has said seems like two townies has a small slap fight. though he's seemed more aggressive with questions to him recently (see his posts toward dagger, and Talore.) leaning town
Some One:
Talore: besides the recent posts about talking to E_P about his actions earlier in the thread, i can't recall anything really outstanding/relevent about his posts atm. nuetral
nacho wizard: Aggressive. Aggressive what i don't know, but aggressive nonetheless ($20 says he'll swear at me for saying that) Aggressive town? (yes it gets it's own category)
Promatimpassislisk: Promatim's lackluster near contentless posts put his as noob scum imo, but the serial killer fiasco put him as a SK in the sights of various players (i swear it's the red scare with SKer's) but i don't think he's a SK, just that Promatim speculates too much from nothing.desCoures: the only real thing i've seen from him are posts asking lots of questions about all kind of things. flavor, reasoning, screw-ups, backpedaling, etc. leaning town.
burboy: still shooting for
KS'saquajet's lynch from KS's bad start to the game. has a strange posting interaction with Nacho, and varies with aggression levels. aggressive townFenris: His last post asked Kpaca for criteria to make his cleared town list, I'd call that fishing for town cues. FOS: Fenris. Leaning scum
Calvin: another non outstanding poster, and is gone for two weeks (currently unconscious from being hit by a moose) unconscious nuetral
Seppel: i would note Seppel's immature and near flame like comments, but that's just seppel being seppel. Claimed vanilla town (Fu Xi?) with an item (the book of changes if i recall right?) yet still getting flak for the random SK mentality that seems to have engulfed players like the red scare. I think the SK talk is BS, and as such am dropping my suspicions on seppel. (IMO) Town. Kpaca's gonna hit me for that, but i don't care.
TeknoLink: Claimed Town Doppleganger. while the charcter flavor (could) fit, i'm still leery (from never hearing doppleganger as a PR before) and the possibility of the ballziest Godfather claim ever.
AlphaInsidious: hasn't posted much lately, and i can't remember wtf his last post was even about. idk nuetral
AsianInvasion: ☺☺☺☺ing Scum-hunter extraordinaire. Town. Even though he's grilling my ass most of the time.
kpaca: His play how i wanna play and don't take your BS attitude has had people saying he's town almost from the beginning, that and scumhunting (or dunking, as he puts it sometimes?) Town.
bateleur: box talking, apastrophe using mystery. also seems to be english. that could be the avatar though. no clue here.
Dagger: mainly talking with E_P, and the whole town V town slap fight thing again. leaning town
KrackShottAquajolt27: KS posted next to nothing, besides random question, and flavor speculation, but aquajolt is doing a better job. KS could have been newb town or scum, but Aquajet seems town.Monkey_Playing_MTGCastle: While Monkey's activity level was even worse than my own (shocking i know), Castle (by watching his play of the last CC mafia) should step the content/posts up way more than monkey, though re-reading monkey and watching how castle goes from here should be by next thing after i post this Nuetral.Cyouni: under memory range again nuetral
SGT_Chubbz: Lurking Contentless Scum. hang his ass. Oh wait....
The_Muffin_Man:last post screams inpatient scum. "let's just hang one of these 3 people i deem scum, cuz i'm bored and all this is worthless chatter"
isn't it in the town's favor to slow down lynches, giving scum more time to out themselves by screwing up/being impatient?
You're my best scum atm TMM. Vote: TMM
seratonin: again under memory. nuetral
Seppel, easy on the caps lock there dude.
also, pardon the mass amount of smileys. it's taken me nearly
4 hours7+ hours to make this post with interruptions. needless to say, if i look at this thread before tomorrow, i'll shoot myself.@TMM: Which AI.

lol
Here is who I'm willing to lynch:
And now, let's compare my list to Sgt. Fatty McEatsalot:
Some One - Chubbz doesn't know.
desCoures - Chubbz leans town.
TeknoLink - Chubbz says *coughgodfathercough*. What the hell?
Aquajolt27 - Chubbz says town, forgiving KrackShott's behavior.
SGT_Chubbz - Chubbz says scum.
passislisk - "Let's stop talking about the SK. We need his kills."
Jesus ham-eating Christ. Unvote, vote Sgt. Cholesterol.
I find it somewhat ironic that the same person who berated the town earlier for not cooperating doesn't want to share his opinions. Of course, one respects wishes for privacy considering when the person in question has been the most vocal crusader the entire game. (Information is power, so the secrecy is understandable)

Whats your point?
Seriously, if you feel that strongly about the presence of a serial killer, convince me! Bear in mind that I don't consider the claimed birth-decade to be evidence in favour of this, so hopefully you have something else to support your viewpoint.
That's consistent with how kpaca played town in the last clan mafia, so I'm not going to read anything into that in isolation.
My notes, on second viewing, were disappointingly non-specific, so I'm currently re-looking at particular players who drew my attention (for whatever reason) to see if my gut reaction is justified. I'll post something more specific shortly, definitely withing the next 24 hours.

I'm not offended, I just honestly mean "what is your point here dude?"
To follow this up, you seem a little edgy about pissing me off.
1) Promatim raves about a serial killer. Calling attention to the likelihood of an anti-town neutral on D1 is a very strong indication of that person being an anti-town neutral.
Take MTG_Junkie in Led Zeppelin mafia:
I'll give you one guess who was the cult leader.
2) Jack the Ripper has no known birth year. So when asked to claim a birth year, Promatim said the first decade he knew of: The 1880's. New Promatim's refusal to nameclaim and strict adherence to Cthulhu flavor leads me to believe New Promatim didn't have a nameclaim ready. Hell, I had no idea this game was about Cthulhu until people started mentioning the dude.
3) Promatim backpedals like hell on his first accusation in the game. Anti-town behavior.
There you go. Three points. Try to chew them up.
