bolero, I'd still like for you to explain this part of your earlier post:

Yes, she had points added overnight, but I can see that as a scum tactic - she certainly didn't have enough added to arm her vest

how can you say "certainly"?

Well, all I mean is that 5 points and below is "safe". If scum wanted her incapacitated (if armed=incapacitated, as was speculated earlier) all they would have had to do would be to add one more point. But it just so happens she's "safe". Only just, maybe, but why?

Look, I could be way off base here, but we've really only got her word for it that she's a town special AND that she had a "visit" last night.

Charlou, you have my apologies if this speculation is wild and unfounded, but I've been kicked in the pants and told to get more active, so this is really all I've got ATM.

She says she has 6 points.

I'm the one with 5.

And the points each of us got from night actions is the same - 4.

[Bolero]

It looks like a vig and scum 'hit' overnight, to me, but the targets seem wrong...they would both be scum targets, and the vig might be having a shocker.

I agree with this. It makes me wonder whether a vig might know more than we do about their target.

And can I just have a grumpy little whinge, and say that I bet no-one's going to FoS irre for summarising? (Maybe she does it better than me or something.)

I tend to play all mafia games like they are pretty straight-up games. I realise this is an inflexible approach, but I work best to just try to scum hunt as normal.

Re the idea of vote spreading, I might be thick but I can't see how this helps. We need to 'lynch' as normal, to ensure a player we think is scum will blow up at endgame. So the ideas of vote spreading, and overkilling people don't sound like good strategies. Am I missing something here?

As for codewords, I can't see how town can benefit from outing them, again I could be being thick. We know if the letter changes overnight that someone's points have changed, and so far we know ob and char got 4 each, UT got 2 removed (maybe he got all his points wiped, not just 2 removed) and bolero got 1 added (again, maybe she got hers doubled, not just 1 added). So that indicates 4 night actions to me. Two scum, two town specials perhaps?

I thought she said she miscalculated because she forgot about the 1 original point to start off with?

How did I summarise? I outlined why I had put people in a town pile and people in a scum pile.

I voted for Charlou on day one ,so she does have 5 points the only question about her being armed was cleared up by the GM's It's ABOVE 5 points ie 6 to be armed . Tonight it would be nice if her points were reduced ,She really doesn't need 2 more .

Oh.

Sorry, didn't read carefully enough.

she miscalculated how many points she got overnight. she thought 5 at first. When she realized she started with 1 and got one by vote, she corrected that to 4.

which matches what I got.

I read day one carefully

[oblivion]

ok, so the thing that's really bothering me about bolero now is that she's followed Charlou two days, and still has her vote on fuzzy, after she followed Charlou there, but is now trotting out this hypothesis after MZ first advanced it.

unvote; vote bolero

[irretating]

Yes.

Feck do you normally pay such close attention to a game?

[Bolero]

Alright, it seems I've been more inattentive to this game than I thought. I've FoSed charlou for no good reason, and I take it back.
I guess if nothing else, this silly facre of my deductive reasoning helps me back to the conclusion that charlou looks townish after all.

God, there's no mystery. I'm no good at playing town, that's all.

she has SIX points.

people -- do the math

we all started with 1 point. she picked up one vote. that's 2. then she got 4 overnight (same as me). that is SIX. I have 5 points because I have the 1 I started with and the 4 from last night.

I don't get the confusion on this.
