The second is less likely because he couldn't know in advance that we have no seer (if indeed we do)."

enough.

There were several options that one would have concluded long before one entertained the notion there was no seer. Here's a few.

1) Ghat was indeed viewed as scum (and Ani was a seer).
2) Ani was scum pretending to be seer (but there probably was a seer).
3) Ani was town, but lying in some bizarre gambit (but there probably was a seer).

Etc.

Nobody even guessed that Ani was a seer but was blocked by a roleblocker . . . (and there was a seer).

But even more far fetched, the idea that there was no seer at all. There was no information available to town to even suggest that.

Only somebody with special knowledge could have worked that far down the list of possibilities, and only scum has that kind of knowledge.

Look, this is your first gamehere. There have been several different combinations of specials in these games, and in a game this size town usually has gotten 2. So yeah, the possibility that there is no seer is perfectly logical. I think there was a game with no seer a doc and a vig or something. Anyhow, you need to get to basics and look for some scum, rather than posting these long rambling theories with multiple possibilities. Rarely does that strategy work in the long run.

And if I had special knowledge why would I fos the don right before nightfall <rolls eyes> Do you know why I did? Scum tells. Go back and look and see if you can spot them, they are p. obvious.

You are wrong about having to have special knowledge to propose that there is no seer.

But really, if you're sure, then lock in your vote :D

As far as I know, the only knowledge the mafia players have are about each other, and that the rest of the players are town, by extension. Unless I'm misunderstanding you ... ?

My stupid theories include being the only person who voted for the Don on day one, agreeing with you that lynching all liars is wise gameplay on day two and, like you, I have had to formulate my plans based on some of the craziest and unexpected ploys I've ever seen in a game of Mafia.

Ghat is all but cleared, IMHO, by his day two martyrship vote. Mantis pings occasionally, but nothing severe. Same with Normal. That leaves you and Chalou, and your suspicion on Charlou looks like bussing, which is a scum defense.

And you pulled "There may be no seer" at a time when only scum would have even have had that thought. Charlou had also pinged around that same time.

Thus my vote, and my FoS on Charlou.

Good lord. Good point how did I miss that. Scum don't know who the specials are, ZIGMEN!! <rolls eyes until it hurts>

And so if I'm scum and know who the don is it makes sense for me to fos him? You can't just rely on pings whatever the hell those are. And if you are town, it would be really helpful if you'd act more like it. protip.

Go with it then and good luck. rofl.

But to say "And you pulled "There may be no seer" at a time when only scum would have even have had that thought." -- that's just plain ridiculous.

Now I'm tired of defending myself against a whole lot of nothing, I'm going to bed.

fos zigmen. It could just be that he plays scummy. But I can't take that chance any longer.

You're preaching to the choir. My vote was actually on Useless (the Don).

All you did was FoS and you waited all day to do it . . .

Why didn't you vote for Useless, if you were so sure?

Gimme a break. If I was scum i would have voted for Ghat to save myself. And I would have laid low.

Does anyone seriously think Ghat is scum?

I'm also the only player in this game who has voted for a known scum.

FoS all ya like, but I'm stirring discussion and asking tough questions; things that scum would rather avoid if they can.

Okay, well if you're not scum and ghat is not scum and I'm not scum that leaves

Charlou
mantisdreamz
Normal

I'm beginning to think Charlou is seeming less scummy. So that leaves manis and normal.

Which one? Or are you locking in your vote on me?

If you have time why don't you go check those two out.

I'm keeping my vote on ghat, given uselesstwit's defense of him. He fos'd several townies, defended ghat. And who knows, maybe being the first to jump on the bw after cole's crazy stunt is scummy.

And I'm beginning to wonder about Normal. He defended ghat which was kinda random.

I don't know. I just thought ghat looked sincere, so I decided to believe him, and do it publicly.

I can see how zigman's quoting me when it wasn't me was most likely a mistake, but I don't get the same feeling of sincerity when I read the posts that followed that accusation. That's why I'd like to keep my vote on zigman for the moment.

Higgs, when did you lose your suspicion on Charlou, and why?

I really do think that you're scum and Charlou is your team mate. I also believe you're trying to bus Charlou by FoSing him/her. Your change of direction seems to be in response to me pointing that out.
