ok. I rused to get a second on geoo just to get some things started. Now that I was thinking about the game during work, let's take a look at who NaOH was accusing...
First she said she'd nominated the first person somebody else nominated; ccexplore. ccexplore was supposedly chosen randomly by Simon. Then Simon introduced the idea of not lynching anybody which was a sound theory however did work in mafia's favor.
[I don't regret doing that as I'm still not convinced ccexplore is guilty/innocent]
She then accused Simon, somewhat out-of-the-blue. Yes, the reason was his suggestion and supposedly slightly different attitude compared to last game. Yet she seemed to try and stress his guiltiness.
Let's assume the worst and say she was the scooper; she accused ccexplore (only because somebody else did...) to hide the fact and put Simon's name in to at least try to warn people. BUt, assuming she scooped out Simon, why would she back up voting for ccexplore, knowing most likely that this was obviously a ploy therefore ccexplore must be innocent. Of course Simon did say he'd retract his vote if he wanted to...The only other reason I thought she was the scooper was her comment "I for one and digging this beach". Perhaps a subtle hint? But after thinking it over, this is probably unlikely. But it would be nice to let the mafia think the scooper is dead.
ccexplore didn't really give much in way of accusing other people only defending himself, slightly, in his post questioning Simon's suggestion, this may have been a ploy by them.
In any case, both Simon and ccexplore are the people she accused and therefore I am suspicious of both of them, I think we should try to get rid of at least one as soon as we can. Simon being my main target.
The other people I am highly suspicious of right now are: Giga and Rubix. Simply because both of them have said very little so far, Giga especially. Oh and Rubix voted for Ramon out of the blue after NaOH warned why it was a bad idea.
This does not mean I definitively trust Ramon or geoo. I feel like trusting both but again, this may just be because they both were innocent last game. I'd like to hear more from Ramon as well.
<<<<<<to summarize>>>>>>>>So that's four people, which is too many... Since Rubix was already mentioned and he didn't do much to defend himself yet, I'll stick with him. Simon would be my next choice. But those two are my top choice right now. If you agree/disagree with any of this, please explain. We must have a lynching, and we must have lynching forthwith.
I was mentioned once before now I've been nominated again, by Rubix, but I haven't been targeted by anyone else yet. I don't know how to defend myself other than saying my decision to not lynch first round may have been a grave mistake... I found it interesting that despite.. 3? people's efforts a lynching didn't happen. I don't know what to make of this right now and my power is going out.
[EDIT]-after reading the latest posts, it seems geoo has some similar thoughts that I've had, this makes me... trust him more? maybe? idk anymore.
Also his test idea is very nice, I must admit, and wish it could've worked...
I don't know if I'm ok with the scooper revealing himself yet however. There is still a ways to go...
yeah DON'T reveal yourself.
-The TEST will be who gets killed next. that's how I think I'm playing--follow the dead bodies..
-----------------
Also, to give full disclosure; before Clam made the no-PM rule, I PM'd NaOH, asking her if she was the scooper, unsurprisingly she didn't respond. But then made her post of not trusting people, probably thinking I was mafia.
Also I probably could've worded my PM better... If for some reason because of the rules it's felt nessicary to somehow reveal exactly what my PM said I'm ok with that. (I didn't keep it in my outbox however).
Then about the maths: it's not that I didn't distrust the maths, it's just that I didn't like the idea that its based on voting blind; randomly. I never planned to do that and don't think it really applies very well henceforth.
This post is way too long. I'm screwing myself for future games. But I'll talk about that at some other point...
