I forgot the final points there:

See, the thing is Snake's done shit that's suspicious and of detriment to the town. He's claimed this is because he's playing a roulette, baiting and trapping but ultimately he has no way to prove that's what he was doing.

Nikose on the other hand has done suspicious stuff because he's absolutely mental.

The thing about Nikose and Snake are they're both trying to play a game with all of us as chess pieces. What Snake does is suspicious at times, primarily because you can see how what he's doing would add up to him checkmating you. He acts suspicious because he's performing actions that lead toward a victory for himself. If he's town, that means performing actions of benefit to the town. If he's scum, he's doing the opposite. So while that's pretty terrible, Nikose is worse in his own demented way.

See, no matter which side of the board Nikose is on his moves make no sense. If he's town and acting suspiciously, it's because Nikose is weird. If he's mafia and acting suspiciously it's because Nikose is weird.

Nikose is playing a game with all the players as chess pieces, but he's using them to play Monopoly.

Thought about what you said a bit more, I'm more worried about what snakes doing after thinking about it because setting your self up as the person who other people listen to lynch others as a townie is pretty useless for your self as you personally still won't know who is and isn't mafia, basically it's most beneficial if you are mafia to play that way.

This actually comes back to a point I made earlier, the place for Mafia to be is almost always where they're least likely to be targeted. In the earlier days even as any form of scum being the leader is dangerous. The cult loves power roles and leaders, because they're the two things that'll give them an edge over their initial population disadvantage.

If I'm to be honest for a moment, Snake underwent a small change from Day 1 to Day 2, his advice and directions became sharper, far more directed. This could either be because he felt far more secure with the cult gone, or it could simply be a matter of his suspicions becoming more focused and confirmed.

See my worry is that both of them end up being mafia, basically using the tactic of conflict like that to ensure that neither of them ends up being suspicious when the other is lynched, the only thing stoping me from being completely certain of that is that it would appear completely unneeded.

Sifright · 10-01-2011, 08:00 PM

Okay guys I want to see your walls of text, Lets have every one post up who they think is suspicious and a clear concise list of your reasoning. Let's not lynch people like we did in the homestuck mafia game.

Unvote: Snake

Only unvoting him because I don't want us to form a bandwagon and end the day early until we have every one actually explain why they are doing things. Town needs information to survive and win so FFS every provide it.

Nikose is next on my shit list for misrepresenting alot of stuff that snake said.

So In order of suspicion I have

Snake
Nikose

IHMN

Beyond that I've nothing, my suspicion for IHMN is predicated on Snake turning out to be mafia if and when lynched later on. I also don't believe fenris to be enough of a bastard to force some one to have to post only images to respond to people

You don't know Fenris then.

Does anyone object to asking IHMN to post a picture of the pony he's supposed to be? I can't see how it would help scum, and it'd help us by seeing if the flavor made sense, and if no one else claims that pony.

Sifright · 10-01-2011, 08:01 PM

Right I'm off to bed, 2am will be on again in six hours or so.

He's already done so. He's Derpy Whooves, one scene wonder background character.

rpgdemon · 10-01-2011, 11:14 PM

Ah, yeah, I'd be able to buy that.
