Golden I'm not hung up on the killing of inactives but I am hung up on her voting for herself. I was also bad with her in AWR and saw her frustrated but never did she even mention voting herself. I just don't understand that move if she is bad, with so few people on a team it would make a big impact. I'm not dismissing your theory that she's bad, just letting you know where I'm tripped up.

@TH - If that's your perspective, you are wrong. I'm giving both sides full consideration. See above quote as an example. I've also called out reasons for considering SVS to be bad that I disagree with, eg Dom's perspective about her feeling towards Mac's role hints.

I am completely capable of talking about my views of both sides of the equation. Gth is a very misleading view of how I actually see the world. I see the status of people I suspect as far more grey, with pros and cons on each side.

I'm going to call out where I think people's views are flawed, whether or not they align with my view of the world. Having taken lots of things into account, I still think on balance that SVS is more likely to be bad.

Who knows or cares why SVS would choose the marks she does.

Here is one serious point against SVS being bad that I've considered despite the fact no-one else has raised it. Would SVS kill bea? I think some people would say no to that.

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 10:53 pm**

If SVS is bad, it would only be about the millionth time I've tried to shout down the thread saying it, to have no-one listen, and only to be proven right. And if I'm wrong and she is civ, it would only be about the millionth time I've read SVS wrong. And all of that is already put into my thinking as well.

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 10:53 pm**

So don't go making the mistake of thinking that I am avoiding complex thought on the matter.

I'm getting this exact vibe. Like what does make her bad?
What makes her good?

Yeahh this is a complete deflection. I don't know what makes her good, I'm not making that case.

But... isn't there a big difference between a game where you have a real chance at winning and a game where she would throw in the towel feeling like she doesn't? What if her third teammate is inactive? In World Reborn she had basically 6 people (including MM) and I'm sure you were all hanging out in the chatroom etc. How does SVS act if she doesn't feel like there is a legitimate show at winning?

Typh suggested that SVS was also motivated by revenge in AWR, a motive which doesn't exist here.

Did she do that in Home Alone though?

I actually have a question, if people are suspicious of me, then is it just there are others that are more suspicious to the point that I'm not needing to be lynched? I mean I guess I'm just sitting over here gathering wandering eyes.

You appear to be making that case, because you are attacking me for pointing out why things she does don't make her good, and ignoring the fact that I keep repeating my case.

Here it is, very clear, just for you Enrique so that you can't once again accuse me of not making it clear why she is bad.

SHE VOTED MAC TO ATTEMPT TO SAVE SABIE.

That's why I think she is bad. I don't think her Mac vote was genuine. The analysis of her night polling lines up with a Sabie teammate. I think it is the best lead we have for a Sabie teammate. I have said this like 6 times. Clear enough now?

I know that's what you're saying, because that's the only reason you've put forth. You've dismissed every argument against it simply by making up a scenario where she's still bad anyway. Frankly, that's not enough. I'm not attacking you dude I'm just confused about what you're trying to get at.

She voted for Mac, what else? I don't think her not coinciding with sabie on the last three nights means as much as you think it does. They didn't vote for the same place in three nights, so what? I've never coincided with them, either. They still kept going to places the other had visited before, where they would've found the same info. There's not really a lot to this.

You call it flawed arguments, Golden, but I see it as you poking holes in them to point that we can't be sure of anything, which I'm not sure is being disputed at all. People exchange reasons why they feel on way or another, but no one seems as certain of anything as you are that she's a threat.

Yes you're hearing other arguments etc., but as far as I can tell, you've had your mind set on proving her guilt all the way through.

For a player who has admitted he doesn't read SVS's tone well, you are hinging an awful lot of your thoughts re: her on a single vote that she made. That's all I'm saying. Change the counterwagon from "Mac" to "sprityo", take away your early DH vote, and you could be in the same position she's in.

You might even say his spirityo vote would have been false.

She literally didn't have a chance to kill in that game. She was lynched Day 1. Why are you presenting misleading evidence?

No. I've dismissed two arguments against why she is bad because I think they are flawed, as well as one argument in favour of why she is bad. I've agreed with other scenarios about why she is good.

Now, do you think the scnenarios I've dismissed hold water? Do you think SVS kills inactives, and it's so reliable that I shouldn't dismiss that argument? Do you think a baddie SVS would never self vote? Because those are the two arguments I've dismissed.

I'm not in any way certain she is a threat. I do think she is bad. I've never said anything more than what I think. I don't have any VERY strong read that someone is bad, including SVS. I don't have any read on anyone that even approaches certainty. And I'm by no means sure that I want to vote SVS today. If anyone is pushing the narrative that I'm absolutely certain SVS is bad, it certainly isn't me. As you point out, my case isn't massive. I even said I'm hoping for the time to go and test it against earlier behaviour, which I haven't done yet.

So what exactly have I done, that you think I should have done differently? And even if you were right, that I feel very certain about it, why does that bother you? Do you think I would have baddie reasons to want SVS gone?

Go read your own game, Dom. SVS convinced me and ninja to vote with her on the last day to ensure her mafia team won the game, after having plenty of opportunities to kill.

What's your point? Why are you so defensive of SVS that it seems like a personal affront to you that I could suspect her?

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:26 pm**

I don't feel like SVS has been on her civ game at all this game. I suspected her before the vote.

I fully understand why, and have for a while. You have made by far the most persuasive arguments in SVS favour (Typhoony has helped a little too). But I haven't made any findings yet, and I'm not going to make any, or to change my own 'read', until I've had a chance to look back on her pre-sabie content for myself. Everyone seems to be superficially focussed on her behaviour in the last phase alone.

To be clear (as with earlier in the game and not voting Enrique) I wouldn't vote for SVS ahead of sprit if I didn't have time to do that either.

But I am still going to call out bad arguments - whatever side they are on.

sprityo "doesn't need to be in the game anymore," am I the only one curious to confirm he's not bullshitting?

I mean, seriously TH - SVS is good because no inactives have been nked?

That's where this began... with Dom aclling me out for being 'misleading' for accurately stating what happened in Bullets Over Broadway, as a counter to him thinking SVS was good because no inactives have died.

Can you not see why it is actually important and useful to debunk bad arguments.

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:44 pm**

I think a case could be made that sprityo is Mr. Freeze and has already won the game. Correct me if I'm wrong but we've only seen one player silenced by Montoya and no kills from Freeze. Maybe he blocked her early and now he's twiddling his thumbs

Hey Spirityo can you not roleblock me anymore kthx.
