Day 1 vote analysis:
I actually voted Happy to make sure the lynch went through, as per Gopher's suggestion, so it's 8 on Happy. (Sinny: Are you sure you're not the one Bussing here? Jumped at the chance to vote, didn't you? )
Out of these, the ones who I was suspicious of on Day 1 were Sinny, Helvete and Gopher. Helvete's conftown now. Sinny and Gopher are not.
I eased up on the Gopher case because I remember after Game 1, going back and seeing just how and what ESC had done that could have tipped me off to him being town and stopped my tunnel. Amid his endless inconsistencies, (Sinny: Eyes was not inconsistant, you and Hado are just fucking deluded) there's at least method and a style not outside of his personality. (Sinny: The personality you knew so well, so well, that you were wrong about him and lynched him?!) On top of that, there wasn't any evidence of ESC voting in a townie lynching. (Sinny: Nor me, on purpose.. I thought we all agree'd we wanted a lynch on day one? No white knighting? So I DIDN't WHITE KNIGHT, durr!)
As far as I'm concerned, 3 strikes (of the good kind) meant that while it still would have been really hard for me to ignore a lot of the potentially scummy shit he was putting out - I could have gone for better targets. I let myself get distracted by town and despite the fact I had 2 other people correctly predicted as mafia, I stopped pressuring them. At that point if by Day 3 he still hadn't even voted, well fuck it - because that actually is just really scummy. He didn't do that though.
Any-fucking-way my point is that neither Gopher nor Sinny exhibit these good strikes. (Sinny: Not like you could read em anyway!) And this isn't about comparison to the last game either, that's just the only mafia game I've played so I don't talk about my 'experience' I just reference the last game. These are general behaviours that in conjunction point to scumminess.
But now, Gopher - how much am I supposed to let slip by on the basis that your meta-game is to have an inconsistent persona and not make any real headway. Why should anyone be expected to legitimately spend an entire game struggling to read you, with you doing little to nothing in the way of making clear and concise posts?
The weirdest shit ever for me, was this: Gopher starts calling out Sinny for being inconsistent, then Sinny calls Gopher town.
?
How does that even work. Sinny?
I've been avoiding you Day 1 because I wanted to not start an argument at a point in the game where we have zero information and it could all just be pointless, but how does this make sense? If you're Town, how does being called inconsistent and potentially scummy make you think someone is actually Town? it's out of character with everything you've done before and shit, everything I know about your personality: when someone calls you scummy, you call them scum right back. You do this everywhere on the forum, but in this particular thread you're suddenly unsure of yourself.
(Sinny: Basically that works because I'm a team player, and not a cunt. I was really under the weather, I was really feeling apathetic, and I was really cautious. But now I'm back with a bit of an umph! And I'm on my laptop by the way, can you notice the difference? I don't see how I can defend my previous apathy vibe, when it was pretty legit)
To add to that, I can buy this bus. I'm not going to speculate before ONE of them flips red but there's another peculiar thing about this:
If you look at the actual voting order on QuickTwist's post, you see that right after Gopher votes Happy - Sinny UNVOTES Bronto. How fucking obvious a mafia ploy is this?
(Sinny: Erm, I don't see how you came to that conclusion. All I can tell people is that Gopher gave me the initial idea to vote Bronto as I agreed Bronto was being shit. I unvoted him a bit later than I intended, but still in time to change my vote in line with the Town group lynch.. What more is there to say?
Gopher is taking the lurker route of targeting, and Sinny is taking cues from the experienced player. (Sinny: Sinny takes cue's from no one)
If Sinny were mafia, she'd have no problem following Gopher's lead based on their personalities and Sinny's not exactly the type to fuck around and be non-obvious about her intentions. (Sinny: You're thinking along the wrong line's is all I can tell you. If yo are Town, believe me, for Towns sake)
Gopher: you're massively inconsistent, all I read from you is WIFOM and to put it in your own words: if you really were red, you wouldn't read as red. Yeah, you'd just read as one big case of mentally disarming fucking nothing. Despite being the most active poster in the thread, you're giving me sweet fuck-all.
Which is why I used the votes last game to cut through the bullshit - voting patterns don't lie. Lynches are a massively chaotic point in the game, and it's one where mafia are completely exposed. If they go for a no-lynch, it's dead-fucking-obvious that they're playing against town (or a lurker - which you weren't), so they're forced to vote and they're forced to make sure that the lynch hits Town - all shit that you have for sure done.
Plus, on Day 1 without the luxury of having fleshed out strategy - it's the best time to catch mafia acting in unison out of confusion as to what they really should be doing. They've got the choice of contradicting their buddies unplanned, or going along with them.
Voting patterns are exactly how I cut through the bullshit and nailed both Zerkalo AND Puffy at the very start of Day 2 - so in this area of the game I'm confident. They gave some very small but not really telling reads on Day 1, but the voting just gives that shit away. It ties all the little inconsistencies together, where my incorrect reads of Ruminator and ESC didn't - neither of them voted Town.
Both of you are doing all of the shit that tells me you're scum.
Vote Gopher
) and wanted to make a case later that evening, but ended up being legitimately busy over the weekend. A cursory glance on Sunday evening (too late to post; day was over) I had showed me that you weren't on anyone's radar. That irked me, because to me, you're fucking obvious.
