Seeing Ricochet defend himself against G-Man's post, I realize I should probably do the same.
G-Man wrote:Why Dragon Might Be The One To Lynch:
1- He's been dead wrong about everyone he's vote for except for Sloonei on Day 1.
2- His style in Economics contributed to continued suspicion of him, eventually leading to his mislynch. He also got curb-stomped as an obvious baddie in Guess Who. If he was given an Indie role this game, he would certainly approach the game differently. His confidence suggests that he is a very smart person and player of the game. Having no reason to doubt either, Dragon is the kind of person who learns from his mistakes. Having made a few, he's bound to have taken his game up a notch or two.
3- Elohcin said early on that she felt that Dragon was legit because he seemed more relaxed than the Dragon she observed while hosting him in Guess Who. At least one or two others seemed to agree that Dragon seemed calmer and more poised this go around. Perhaps that's because he has to rely on only himself to get that winner's badge.
4- He's kept himself just suspicious enough to merit the Inmates keeping him around for a non-Inmate lynch. He benefited from his own misguided hunting because the Inmates never felt threatened by him.
5- Several players have expressed suspicion of him before or as they were on their way out.
1- Yes, I was. I'll be the first to admit my baddie hunting in this game has been atrocious.
But I've never seen a case where this argument actually helped someone catch a baddie, though. The guy who misses every lynch, from my experience, has as much chance of being civ than anyone else. Looking at how suspicions change and votes are made tends to be a better way to find baddies, instead of simply measuring the accuracy of the player as a baddie hunter.
2- This one is pure speculation and doesn't necessarily indicate alignment. If I'm am town I might change my style too. If I'm a bad I might not. I'm not even sure if what made me get lynched in Guess Who was my overall style, it might be just some mistakes I shouldn't have made, like that disastrous argument I had with you on d2.
3- Speculation too. You don't know enough about my indie game for this to be an actual evidence. Not even I do, because I've never been alone as mafia before, except for one instance where I had already been outed by a cop and kept surviving lynches because of abilities, so it was a completely atypical game.
4- This is wrong, even though I can't prove it. If I was seen by the inmates as not a threat, it's because my baddie hunting in this game was unsuccessful, and that wasn't intentional from my part. Besides, considering there were two nights where the baddies failed to kill for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had the intent to kill me in those nights and failed for some reason.
5- This one is a known fallacy (I forgot the name of it). But the point is, a fact doesn't become true just because more people believe in it, it just means more people are wrong. Sure, you could say the masses have a tendency to make right decisions, but in that case you should vote me because YOU believe I'm mafia, and hope the result is positive, not simply vote because everyone else suspects me as mafia.
And yes, some of those answers contain big doses of WIFOM, but my point was to argue that your points don't really indicate Ithat 'm a baddie.
