Mafia After Dark - Night 4: Pulp Fiction

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

How? She pretty much rejected the only shred of evidence we've had so far. Plus, she's willing to lynch Terrence and trust that he's not scum at the same time. I'm sorry, but that's not a townie mindset. Where am I overreacting? Or are you the only one who's allowed to call people scum based on one statement?

On a semi-related note, where exactly has Penelope gone? She was here just a short time before I called her out, but then she vanished.

It just seems a bit off. It pinged me. The Scummiest thing you've heard all day? Does that mean there's some sort of continuum that you've been tracking? What about the other Scummy things you've heard. Who else has raised your suspicions? You appear to be parroting me from earlier when I first started poking Colon. What he said wasn't that Scummy but I wanted to see how he'd react to the accusation. I don't think you're doing that here. It sounds more like you're trying too hard to sound like a Townie.

[Cecilie]

It's called work and class. Was there something specific you needed?

No, I just noticed you went suddenly pretty quiet after Colin role claimed, which I found a bit odd, that's all.

At first I was told the first 24 hours but that was later amended to anytime during the night. I imagine if I procrastinate enough, it will be in the conclusion of the night. So not really a firm deadline. If the scum have a way to counteract it, Tam probably waits for that too.

Ah, so it's very flexible then, that's good.

So if it's not too much trouble, I think I'd like to poll the audience (since I won't be allowed to phone a friend.):

If everyone could give their opinion and let me know where I stand here.

I understand the numbers are probably close and would rather not be the cause of our downfall. On the other hand, a scum getting offed would put things more in our favor but we'd want to be pretty sure.

If it was me, I wouldn't do it. But I'm a coward

Or give us other ideas than lynching Dexter ...

I think enough has been said about Dexter anyway, and if Colin holds off his kill, I think we'll be safe another day even if we're wrong about this (assuming there are 4 scum, we're now at 7-4, so if we mislynch, it will be 6-4, then 5-4 if they succeed in killing one of us. If there's 5 scum, and we mislynch, it's even worse...).

Vote: Dexter Fairbanks (def)

[TrumpetKing]

Well, well, well... I'm finally here. Apparently Peter lost his secretary named Priscilla and then hired me, since I'm her twin. Even have the same name, which was REALLY confusing as kids.

So I've got some catching up to do. However, since us secretaries have to actually do WORK during the day, I'm exhausted. Read some of the action but now I've gotta catch a catnap. Be back in a while to actually help find those dang Ferraris that we just can't seem to catch. Good thing there's still 48 hours left before someone is lynched. Time enough for me to help out, hopefully more than the other Priscilla did since I see some of you think she/I am scummy.

Can I just say what I honestly thought when I saw this? HOLY FLUFF.

Anyways, I think Dexter is going to be lynched today, but I don't really feel like I have anything against him that hasn't already been said. In fact, I haven't had a case against him at all. I agree with what Bernard and Colin say about him, but I don't know how comfortable I feel voting for someone who I've never truly had a suspicion for... For now I'll vote for Priscilla, as I feel she's the one that I'm most confident in being scum.

Vote: Priscilla Jenkins (mostlytechnic)

[def]

Ach, I have only about ten minutes before I have to go to my second job (woe is me), but I really want you to think about what you're doing if you lynch me. I'm vanilla town. If you take me out, that could be the scum win. I'm going to be really upset if the town loses the game over a mislynch of me. If you think town can spare a townie, and you want to test it, yeah, better to lynch a vanilla, I guess. I really want us to lynch a Ferrari. We need to.

I don't know the best choice. I'd say Terrence, but he didn't jump on the bandwagon for me, which makes him look a little townier.

I'll be back in a few hours, to try and figure things out

[Palathadric]

Well, if that isn't the scummiest thing I've heard all night.

Thing is, Penelope, we know there's a scum in the group of five, and a little bit of detective work can tell us who they are. At this rate, the scum could very easily win with just one or two more mislynches. We know one of the suspects the hippy gave us is scum. That's hard evidence, and it's more than we've had this whole time. Are you suggesting we ignore that evidence and continue to stumble blindly?

So wait, you're assuming Terrence isn't scum, but are perfectly willing to lynch him? On what planet is that considered rational?

Well, I'm pretty inclined to believe Colin is town, due to his claim. I believe Terrence is town, given his story about the hippy which has been backed up by a couple people, and I know for a fact I'm town. I think that leaves you as the most likely choice. Candy's a close second, and I don't know one way or the other about Priscilla.

When's voting start? 'Cause I know where mine's going.

I don't even know what to say. You're nuts!

We know there's one scum in the group of five and we can assume there's four or five scum altogether (if there's less than that, we aren't in serious trouble yet). Obviously if there's one scum in that group the other three or four must be in the other group. What I said is just as valid as what Terrence said. If Terrence is speaking truth, which I am more inclined to believe now, then there are three of four scum in the group I mentioned, or else there are surprisingly few scum.

I never said that I really believed Terrence, I said "if we want to believe him, then..."

Right now, though, I do think I am more inclined to believe him, so obviously I won't lynch him.

Trying to put words in my mouth, are you?

Perhaps we should all give a new list of our top four suspects, as I'm leaning more to there being four scum than five right now.

Mine would be Candy, Cap'n Rolfe, Dexter, and Priscilla.

Personally, I am the least convinced about Dexter being scum, but I'm willing to vote for him if the rest of town thinks the case against him his solid enough.

If, the hippy happened to also follow Bernard's list instead of seeing what happened, for some odd reason, then I would be more likely to believe that there could be five scum and then I would add Peter to the list.

I need to run out now, and I'm sorry if I don't remember, but why is it so important that we lynch Dexter first?

How? She pretty much rejected the only shred of evidence we've had so far. Plus, she's willing to lynch Terrence and trust that he's not scum at the same time. I'm sorry, but that's not a townie mindset. Where am I overreacting? Or are you the only one who's allowed to call people scum based on one statement?

On a semi-related note, where exactly has Penelope gone? She was here just a short time before I called her out, but then she vanished.

I didn't reject it. I'm accepting it and working with it. How can you not see that? Oh, right, because I've just nailed you and your scummies. Your twisting of words does nothing but show how darn scummy you are.

Also, it seems convenient that you post your big "reveal" about me as soon as I went offline. Where have I been this whole time? Why not do some research. I almost always go offline around the same time. Is it a crime to take a nap at 1:00 when nothing is happening in the thread. Lousy scumster!

Although I'd love to send my vote your way, it would be ridiculous to split it any further, especially since two of the candidates I'm suspecting are scum.

For now I feel more comfortable voting Priscilla than Dexter, but there's plenty of time to change that. I should be back later today tonight, so if somebody could quickly explain to me why we need to lynch Dexter first, then I'll gladly change my vote when I get on later.

For now, though, I'll vote: Priscilla (mostlytechnic)

I have a good feeling that we'll catch scum tonight.

[Peanuts]

Pete, about your list, why isn't Candy in your top three? You said for Cebastian and Terrence that you "lean on" them. You didn't even give each a full paragraph like you did for Candy. Why are you less suspicious of Candy than the other two?

I lean on them rather than the others who were implicated by Terrence. The way I see it, it's either Terrence or Cebastian. And Rolfe is a close runner-up, just because he is scummy as hell.

I still don't think Dexter is scum, so I won't vote for him. I don't have much time right now, I'll make my mind up later, but I suppose I'll vote for Rolfe or Cebastian. Probably the former.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Seems to me, Pete, that since you were giving opinions on everyone, you had to say something about Candy. Since she's obviously scummy, you couldn't say she seemed town without looking suspicious so you parroted what others said about her. But you also didn't have the guts to put one of your teammates in your list. So you put two people that you "lean on" without really elaborating on your list instead of someone whose behavior you admitted seemed really scummy.

[mostlytechnic]

Finally have some time to look at things. It'll take a little while, but I've got stuff to say.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold it there. You're approaching this all wrong. Assuming we have five or six scum and only one is on your list (which I believe should include Dexter as others have mentioned), why would you look for the one scum in a group of five, when there's likely 3 or 4 scum hidden in the remaining group of six. We should be looking for the scum not in the list, because our chances of getting them would be much better. Am I wrong? I think not. But feel free to prove it to me, if you can.

You know, you're not making a lot of sense. Only one person on the list is scum, so why are you including in your list of top suspects, three people from the list?

Do I agree with some of the points you made about the people? Maybe. But if you're going to believe what Terrence is saying then why would you put three people who voiced suspicions of him when only one can actually be scum?

I have no qualms voting for you, and I think I will.

So folks, the question is, are we going to believe Terrence or not? If so, then I think we should look for the three or four scum hiding in the group of six (not counting Dexter).

This group consists of:

Myself

Cap'n Rolfe

Candy

Priscilla

Colin

Terrence

I agree that this is the way to be thinking. Look where the odds are best! Although why did you "not count" Dexter there? Just cause things were still waiting for explanation as to whether dex was in the "list" or not? I think we include him in this second list and figure that we've got 3 or 4 scum in a list of 7 names (can't be 6 scum or the game would be over, and 1 is in Terrance's list, so that leaves 3 or 4 in this group). And assuming Terrance and Colin are town based on what all's happened and been claimed, that means there's 3 or 4 scum in 5 names. I can't fathom why Cap'n's been giving you grief over this!

I can help you catch up: you're Scum.

And apparently I'm being a dick. I really didn't think I was but I've been told otherwise. Sorry. I didn't think my dickish statements would be taken so seriously. They were not meant seriously. I won't really be pooping on anyone's doorstep.

Thanks, but you're wrong :) I do at least have role PMs and stuff to know who I am. And I may not be the sluttiest person here, but I'm glad you've got a dick Oh wait, you said you ARE one? Well, that's a different story. But I deal with lots of them all the time, so I can take it. Wait, that came out wrong I think....

Can I just say what I honestly thought when I saw this? HOLY FLUFF.

Of course that was fluff! It's my "day 1" post obviously. I showed up and saw that I had a PM right before I ususally go to bed, so I jumped in to say hi before getting sleep (since there was plenty of hours left to get caught up, wasn't worth literally loosing sleep over). Now that I'm awake, I'll start contributing.

Now, I'm going to say

Vote: Dexter Fairbanks (def)

Why? well, first off blatantly to save myself. Looks like I've got some suspicions (maybe at least partially due to the previous me needing to leave and so not acting like herself?) But since suspicion seem to be falling on Dex or me, well, of course I'll vote for him since I know I'm town. Second, I pinged on Dex getting left out of a bunch of the list discussions. Whether he was scum or not got overwhelmed by whether he'd listed Terrance as a suspicion and who made the list and on and on. I'm also pinging that he didn't seem to address any of the lists himself - I think he was glad the focus was on why he was left off and not whether he was scummy! And finally, even with votes and mountains of suspicion, his only response since voting opened was "woe is me and woe is town, I'm vanilla town and you're making a mistake." What a non-defense! Didn't address ANY of the reasons he's being voted for. Not a single thing. Because you HAVE no defense?

[Captain Nemo]

Well votings open. I'll be placing my vote on Dexter; since he's both on my current list of three suspects and apparently is the popular target tonight. I still don't understand why he didn't show up on the Terrence list however, unless Terrence left him off the list on purpose; which I could see as happening. Hopefully we are picking right, and we nab a scum; then we can find the one on the Terrence list (Assuming its correct and whatnot).

Vote: Dexter Fairbanks (def)

[Cecilie]

I lean on them rather than the others who were implicated by Terrence. The way I see it, it's either Terrence or Cebastian. And Rolfe is a close runner-up, just because he is scummy as hell.

So it's either me or Terrence, but you're not providing any reasoning why you think it's me? And then you say Rolfe is a runner-up, but say you'd probably rather vote for him than me (except you don't place a vote... want to see if you have to backtrack and jump on Dexter's bandwagon, do you?). You're totally not making any sense. And why don't you think Dexter is scum? Mostly everyone else does, why don't you? He's practically rolling over and playing dead here, it's not his style at all. Dexter is scum, and I think you're his scum buddy. If you disagree about Dexter, please enlighten us as to why. It's important that we make the right choice today. If you know something we don't, spill it!

Actually, the main reasons people are voting for me are because of Patricia's hunch. And those weren't any more substantial than say, Patricia, Bernard, and Dogukan's suspicions of Colin. I'm willing to accept Colin's claim, based on the lack of a counter-claim for vig. Of course, that puts my theory of why scum killed Patricia in a totally ducked position. Nice job scum. You've painted me into a corner, and I really have nothing else to counter with. Good scum like to megabluck with the town totally, and it seems we're fighting good scum. For his aggressive lack of any positive contribution, I'm beginning to think Bernard has snowballed the town heavily. Thinking about it, he's asked me a lot of questions, and I've tried to give him answers. His response? Vote Dexter. Not much use dealing with him, he asks a question and ignores the answers.

If I'm lynched, and town is still around to fight another day, I bet he'll have an excuse.

As it is, I have little choice. I am town. I find it unlikely that there are two townies in the crossfire here, and I hope this is the best decision:

vote: Priscilla (mostlytechnic)

At this point, I'd be willing to swing it all against Bernard, but I know I couldn't get the town behind it, so I'll have to do as I have.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Yeah, I know how sad you are that you can't pin Patricia's death on me. I would be pretty bummed, too, if a plan had backfired on me like that. Better luck next time.

[def]

Yeah, I know how sad you are that you can't pin Patricia's death on me. I would be pretty bummed, too, if a plan had backfired on me like that. Better luck next time.

If you're the vig, then yeah, it's a disappointment all around. For your sake, I recommend not being too cocky about things, so you don't have to so much when my towniness is revealed

[CorneliusMurdock]

It's not so much cockiness but rather that I do feel bad for you. It was a decent plan. I was already suspicious and you wanted Patricia gone. You thought you could just shift the blame to an already shifty character and kill two birds with one stone, almost literally. Except I'm not a bird.

What do you mean "if" I'm the vig? You just said you believed me. Something change in the hour since you said that?

I know the scum team is disappointed. They'll have a chance to correct their miscalculation when they try to kill me soon. Again, best of luck.

Sorry, just keep piling it on. 'Believe' does not equal 'know', but I see you come from Patricia's school of grammar. Good job with your 'evidence.'

I'm sorry if my attitude ends up being what does town in. I'm really annoyed to have this on my shoulders.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

I'll wait a little more to hear what Bernard's bombshell is, and unless he has something genuinely substantial, I think I'll have to vote for Colin.

Actually, the main reasons people are voting for me are because of Patricia's hunch. And those weren't any more substantial than say, Patricia, Bernard, and Dogukan's suspicions of Colin.

But those hunches and suspicions were enough for you to claim you were going to vote for Colin. This discrepancy and your lack of a substantial defense are making me feel pretty good about this vote. A falsely accused Townie doesn't just sit there and say "Oh, I wish this wasn't on my shoulders" they fight for the Town and try to provide a better path.

What's more interesting, though, are the people resisting the vote on Dexter...

[CorneliusMurdock]

What's more interesting, though, are the people resisting the vote on Dexter...

It's like they don't realize that he's already convicted. We only needed 6, and if we really wanted to, I could use my secret vote as well to make it 7.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

Can I just say what I honestly thought when I saw this? HOLY FLUFF.

You go back and forth in my head as a Scumbag. Why would you jump on Priscilla right after she was possessed by another entity? Give the new spirit some time to adjust to the new body. What horrible possession etiquette you have.

Anyways, I think Dexter is going to be lynched today, but I don't really feel like I have anything against him that hasn't already been said. In fact, I haven't had a case against him at all. I agree with what Bernard and Colin say about him, but I don't know how comfortable I feel voting for someone who I've never truly had a suspicion for...

This may actually win the award for the Scummiest thing ever said in this game. Even if you are Town, this is ludicrously Scummy. You don't have a case against him, yet you agree with me and Colin, yet you're still not going to vote for him. I don't understand why you have to have the suspicion originate in your body even if you agree with our case, as you say. It's just really confounding and a really lame excuse to not vote for Dexter.

This makes me a bit nervous. Are the Scum trying to not vote for Dexter because Dexter is Scum and they want to save him? That would be more than a bit silly as they're ahead and simply trying to save the first Scum voted for...by revealing themselves blatantly...could prove disastrous for what has been a good game up to this point. Or, are they trying to not vote for him because they want to not be seen on another Townie bandwagon? Maybe they're just getting sloppy and thought maybe there were some others who wouldn't vote for Dexter and didn't want to hold off too long like Peter here:

I lean on them rather than the others who were implicated by Terrence. The way I see it, it's either Terrence or Cebastian. And Rolfe is a close runner-up, just because he is scummy as hell.

I still don't think Dexter is scum, so I won't vote for him. I don't have much time right now, I'll make my mind up later, but I suppose I'll vote for Rolfe or Cebastian. Probably the former.

I might vote for one, but maybe the other without much reasoning. Let me see what everyone else does, especially my Scum team. That's what this post says to me. Rolfe is Scummy as hell, but I won't vote for him. Along with having no reason to think Dexter is not Scum, specificaly no responses to the many points up and outlined succintly by Patricia right before her untimely death.

Yup. Ping.

What's more interesting, though, are the people resisting the vote on Dexter...

Yeah, I planned to vote Colin based on what I knew before he claimed vig... Seriously, same as your accusations against Colin, there is no defence. I am town. I am vanilla. There is nothing I can offer that isn't available to the rest of the town. I am fighting for town, but I can't promise a 'better path'. I can just say that a vote for Priscilla isn't a vote for a guaranteed town (which I know because I know my role). You've said a lot of megablocks so far, but that's the cherry on the cake. When a vanilla is being shoved to the lynch, you want them to solve the mysteries that town hasn't been able to so far with whatever PRs they have? What the megabluck are you expecting? Seriously.

About your bullying technique against those who aren't voting for me, I have to wonder if this isn't your final move. Lynch a townie, and scum wins, so even though I'll turn up town when lynched, you'll have won the game, so it's too late to see the shit you've been weaving. Jump in and play ultra-townie, push a lynch on Dogukan (he was town), push a lynch on Colin (back off after a role claim), push a lynch on me (we'll see). This has to be the night for scum to win, because they wouldn't risk outing themselves so clearly otherwise.

Town, if the Malones continue to night five, I want you to lynch the megabluck out of Bernard, and say it's for me. For Dexter. Too beautiful to live. A beautiful soul.

(another 30 hours left, so between my obscene work hours, I'll keep trying to help this town <four out of those thirty> ... how's that for a better path?.. )

[Peanuts]

I might vote for one, but maybe the other without much reasoning. Let me see what everyone else does, especially my Scum team. That's what this post says to me. Rolfe is Scummy as hell, but I won't vote for him. Along with having no reason to think Dexter is not Scum, specificaly no responses to the many points up and outlined succintly by Patricia right before her untimely death.

Yup. Ping.

Wasn't the main point that she outlined that he had been trying to get the investigator to use their action on Doggy, and had been followed up by Colin and Rolfe? And didn't she insist until the end of the day that Dexter and Colin are both scum?

Because Colin's claim doesn't sound like he's making it up, with no other vig coming out.

So it's either me or Terrence, but you're not providing any reasoning why you think it's me? And then you say Rolfe is a runner-up, but say you'd probably rather vote for him than me

Rolfe is just someone I have a scumread on. If Terrence is not lying, I will assume you are scum. But I'm reluctant to accept a piece of information from Terrence, so I'd rather pick Rolfe than make up my mind about you and Terrence at that point.

Well, if that isn't the scummiest thing I've heard all night.

Thing is, Penelope, we know there's a scum in the group of five, and a little bit of detective work can tell us who they are. At this rate, the scum could very easily win with just one or two more mislynches. We know one of the suspects the hippy gave us is scum. That's hard evidence, and it's more than we've had this whole time. Are you suggesting we ignore that evidence and continue to stumble blindly?

This doesn't make any sense. Penelope clearly stated what she meant, and it was the opposite of disregarding the evidence Terrence gave us.

And what's more important, you yourself are more than willing to ignore the "hard evidence" and vote for Penelope instead of Kristina or me.

[Cecilie]

What's more interesting, though, are the people resisting the vote on Dexter...

Indeed... maybe they're trying to just confuse us, by voting a little here and there, and not put all their cards in one basket. Or maybe they thought that if they could just sway one or two townies, they'd get the lynch over to someone else. We don't know how close the numbers really are right now... If they are really close to winning, they could be getting overconfident .

[mostlytechnic]

For now I feel more comfortable voting Priscilla than Dexter, but there's plenty of time to change that. I should be back later today tonight, so if somebody could quickly explain to me why we need to lynch Dexter first, then I'll gladly change my vote when I get on later.

For now, though, I'll vote: Priscilla (mostlytechnic)

I have a good feeling that we'll catch scum tonight.

Even though it's looking like I'm safe today and Dex is going bye-bye, care to actually give any REASON to your vote on me? I'd be glad to try to defend myself, but (especially since I just took over this position) I need something to actually respond to. What makes me seem scummier than dexter to you?

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

OK, let's look over Patricia's case against Dexter then:

My suspicions were raised when he tried to softly manipulate the investigator into investigating Dogbreath, which seemed odd considering how keen he'd previously been for a lynch. It might have only been a minor point had two other people (Colin and Rolfe) not come along with the same hairbrained idea, also two people keen on activity and lynching. I called him out on that, he became aggressive, patronising, started twisting what I'd said to make it look like I wasn't considering anyone but Dogbreath for a lynch and tried to ridicule the reasons why I stated that asking the investigator publicly to investigate Dogbreath was a bad idea. He was still trying to make it seem like a reasonable idea despite it coming out of nowhere after being so keen to lynch and he was suggesting it for someone who'd been distinctly absent and unhelpful and who had garnered two votes the previous day. No discussion about other options, or other people to investigate with his brilliant idea. No "What do you have to say for yourself Dogbreath?" questions in the thread first. Plus he wasn't exactly pleasant about it.

It seems that the original concern was simply not having a reason to switch from calling for a lynch to asking for an investigation instead.

Over the course of our "discussion" he made a few more omissions or mistakes; minor on their own, but they added up. They're nearly all mentioned in my posts, so they exist, but we'll be here forever if I quote them all. He didn't seem to like my "niggling" and softly suggested I was leading everyone away from something (I still don't know what). There then followed Dexie voting for Dogbreath because he was "suspicious" (that's all, nothing more than we'd all be wondering). This is after wanting him investigated. Apparently two people not wanting him investigated is enough to make Dex vote instead. After that he made some vague attempt to say Colin was scummy (he is, but that's another discussion) because Colin supported Dex's stupid and scummy idea in a way that was... scummy.

And then switched back to voting for him, dropping the idea for an investigation.

Add to that him making a song and dance about wanting to know Byr-Byr's alignment, omitting wanting to know about Shane's alignment, not telling us what he learned from Byr-Byr's alignment (I did ask) but getting very huffy about "what did Patricia learn from Shane's alignment?" (I replied). It's now culminated in him accusing me of posting "fluff" and not adding to the conversation. I think he's a bit upset with me. Anyway, I feel he and his scum-mates are unsure if they'd get away with killing me and shutting me up that way, so now they're trying to discredit me. Fair enough, I suppose.

There's a few little things here and there I wouldn't want to point out for Dexie's benefit, though, (although I think that ^ is plenty anyway) just in case he and I find ourselves in a similar position one day.

Here she points out that he is dodgy and defensive instead of having a conversation about things. I, personally, didn't see anything Patricia did to warrant such ire from him. I don't think anything she said was offensive. Perhaps it's just aggravating to be caught out.

Add this to the inconsistencies I pointed out and I feel it's the right vote. This is also the first vote where there hasn't been a clear bandwagon. Those not voting for Dexter aren't making very strong cases and trying to get the Town to reconsider. I would think if they really didn't think he was Scum, they'd be a bit more adamant about getting us to vote for someone else, since if Dexter is Town, this could be our last Night in the game. Instead they are softly urging in other directions or mentioning vague suspicions, not voting and wandering off.

I am worried that we could be wrong about Dexter, but I feel he's the strongest case right now. If we were to follow Terrence's answer from the Dirty Hippie, I think we could vote Peter off, but I have a stronger feeling towards Dexter. If we're wrong, that will suck to lose without catching any Scum, but that may just be an effect of the game mechanics...
