Return to “Courage the Cowardly Dog Mafia [THE END]”
Speaking of which, if the cop is still alive, they need to get in here and push some suspicions if they have gotten any scum checks.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 5:25 pm I don’t know if I’ve ever led a successful lynch on a scum in a game without being the cop, tbh

Luna's first pingy moment comes when she does this D1, after saying that she didn't like the idea at all and sort of walking it back but not really:
She looks throughout D1 as if she is hoping somebody will just tell her to vote for so that she doesn't have to come up with a reason she knows is fake based on almost nothing. It's a perennial scum dilemma and not everybody handles it so well.
Okay, you're not wrong here. I hate day one lynches. It takes time for me to get a read on people, and on day one I sort of hope for any easy scum-tell to go off of.
Anybody else think the "I'm insulted" bit looks a little heavy-handed? As in, are you really?Lunalee wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:34 amI want to clarify something about my town meta, DDL. When I'm town I'm a lot more adventurous with my posts, sometimes at the risk of getting lynched early. Also If I were on a scum team with Marmot, I would not be communicating with him in thread like this, I would use our BTSC. I'm insulted that you think I would be that obvious.
The biggest thing in Luna's favor, imo, is that she essentially built the case against Long Con and deserves credit for his lynch. It's possible that the team made a conscious decision to bus him, and Luna did a fair amount of bussing in U-Pick as I recall, so we should examine whether those reasons are contrived:
If this was planned, it would be an amazing, well thought out scum-play. And those kinds of things just aren't very likely. Sometimes the simplest solution, is in fact correct.
Ask yourself this: looking at the same pieces of evidence, would you come to the conclusion that Long Con is "probably scum"? I sure wouldn't, but I want other people to know. If Luna is scum, this is incredibly crafty of her, but insufficient reasoning would betray her here. It's made even more complicated by the fact that she reads sig later on with more stuff to go off of but is hesitant to give him as convicting a sentence. Hmm hmm hmm.Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 11:27 am Long Con seems more excited about screaming at the music videos than posting real content, so I'm going to look at him for a second.
He shoots down sig's proposition on day 1, but come on, who didn't.
He missed the day one vote.
He ended up on DDL's list of screaming banshees, but I'm not convinced that means anything.
Put off replying to sig with what he thought about the day 1 lynch.
Continues to scream back at King Ramses
Asks speedchuck and Kylmii why they voted for him (on what I assume was the day one poll?).
Overall feel on Long Con: He seems lazy in this game, and not very helpful. I give him a read of probably scum.
I thought I gave them the same consensus, but I deemed sig "could possibly be scum." It mean's "IDK." If you remember, I wasn't even confident enough in my Long Con analysis to leave my vote on him.
This post though does ring true as far as what I know about Luna's town meta. It's a perfect 1:1 replica of her town thinking if she is not actually town, at least as I understand it.Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 3:11 pm From what I see of nutella's posts, she is very set on getting speed lynched. And speed is trying very hard in this game, which makes him a threat to town mafia. I don't like that look on nutella. She also seems needlessly concerned with the King Ramses sock puppet account. At this point I don't see a reason to be concerned with a sock puppet account that posts random weird videos. And she's voting Lapluie, who I'm also looking at. So they are probably not team mates.
Lapluie looks like low-hanging fruit to me right now. She had a bit of a slow start, and appears to be struggling to keep up. I don't have reason to think she's not town, and I don't want to lynch her today, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on her.
In fact, after looking at lapluie's posts, if just makes nutella seem that much more scummy for jumping from speed to lapluie. It's like she realized speed wasn't going down easy, so she found a easier target.
The tinfoil is strong with this one. The tinfoil, pending further discussion, says Luna is on a scumteam with Long Con and they're playing a long con of their own by sacrificing him to earn our trust, and Luna was the point man carrying it out. The evidence does not directly confirm the tinfoil though and I have to say there are proooooooobably more town points than scum ones.
If you need this much tin foil to see me as scum, then it is a far reach. I recommend you take it off.
Lunalee has earned a RED BADGE OF COURAGE (BUT POTENTIALLY RED IN A REALLY BAD WAY, LIKE RED = SCUM)
I don't think that's very likely. Also the redirect role says:speedchuck wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 9:22 am Could it be that Juliets death was the result of a redirect?
I guess nobody can answer that, but it needs to factor into our analysis. It's possible that one of the town players just killed a scum by finding another scum and redirecting them. Or even making them self-target, if it can do that.

Thanks for the invite, INH!insertnamehere wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 6:20 pm A hearty Epizootics to all you cool cats and cowardly dogs, it's time for some more inductees to my HOT TUB OF TRUST. Now, currently chillin' (or should I say, heatin') in the TUB are myself, Niju, Fractal, and Vompatti. Now, I'm not sayin' that this is an impeccable alliance that will dominate the game and run roughshod over the baddies, but I'm also not not saying that, capeesh?
Without futher ado, I'd like to welcome to the braintrust SPEEDCHUCK. Speed, your analysis posts read like how I'd imagine my firstborn's birth certificate would read. And I don't even like kids! Needless to say, I'm picking up what you're putting down, and am willing to follow you along on your analytical journey.
Secondly, I'd like to add LUNALEE. Her performance in this game seemingly reflects genuine effort in ways I didn't see in U-Pick, when we were scumbuddies. In addition, I like her case against Long Con. The only reservation I have about her is how she was so eager to do a flipperino over to Nutella. Seemed a little cheap, especially when she was the one who helped construct the LC case in the first place. Nevertheless, I feel like her head is in the right place, so I'm willing to add her to the TUB-TEAM.
That's all the new business for today. I'd advise people to stay true to themselves, believe, and look to the stars often, and they may, someday, also find themselves soaking in the HOT TUB OF TRUST.
No sig. I put my vote on Long Con first. I then moved it to nutella before the Long Con lynch became a train because I was in and out near end of day, and I decided not to move it back because Long Con wasn't here to defend himself. I sort of wish I had moved it back, but I'm glad he ended up lynched.sig wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 9:35 pm OOOOKAY so just looking at the vote break down I'd say Frac and Blooper look the best since they stuck with nutella both days, Speed switched from Nutella day 1 to LC day 2. The oddest vote for Nutella would be Luna who built the case on LC, but then didn't vote there? I also dislike Kyle's vote that ended up tieing it before Golden broke it. That combined with refusing to break the tie yesterday is meh. Now I do need to reread and see their reasoning, but from what I remember the case on nutella was the same day 2 as it was day 1.
Thanks for breaking the tie. I really should have changed my vote back to Long Con like I was considering.Golden wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 9:57 pmWhen I voted for LC I took it from 6-6 to 7-5, so I did technically break the tie, although that had nothing to do with the reason I changed my vote.
I have earned speedchuck's trust!speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 10:22 pm Nutella, golden, and luna definitely come out of this nice.

I don't think he's scum. The only time speed "town firmed" me was when he was mafia, and knew I was town.

So why are you voting Dom and not nutella?speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:36 pmThis, as mentioned, is a thing.
THIS on the other hand actually pinged me. It's hypocritical and pushes attention away from nutella, while not providing content. Nutella has maybe 2 on-topic posts, if we're being generous.
Great way to look proactive and discussion-generating while putting focus on others and not really doing anything.
It's just the timing of it, when over half the game has ~1.2 on-topic posts. Rubbed me wrong.
I sort of feel the same way. I may move my vote to Niju.

However, odds of victory do not matter. We are here to play mafia, not roulette. Victory means nothing if we didn't hunt it down and strangle it.
