Day 1.5: Where we arrived again?

[FM Big Mom]

It's an insult. Since there is 0 reason to defend against something which isn't a logical offense. Or in other words. Step up your game.

So what is your excuse for the use of these words:

You are just another tool which i will use to see my faction and it's allies win this.

You also must have missed this:

Excuse the double post but this is a defense based on ad hominem which is a logical fallicy and does not serve as a suitable defense.
You cannot hope to argue against someone, in your own defense, by attacking the other person.

[FM Straw Hat Luffy]

I don't like how Caribou is behaving exactly the same as Kuma from the previous game as if he wants us to believe he is the same role as before.

What is everyone's opinions on Foxy or other low-mid posters? I expect a lot of faction members will fall into this category and I believe Foxy to be a better person to pressure than Zoro who posts a lot anyway.

I didn't forgot them either... Foxy, Apoo, robin? (Must check posts again to make sure)
They are lurking and are worth my attention too

-vote FM Scratchmen Apoo

In case you people forgot.
Scratchman Apoo made one post and then disappeared

Look above

Boa needs to pay more attention.
Oh also this:

-vote FM Boa Hancock

Her words indicate that she has a night chat, from what I see, and as such I am confident in voting her as she is here.

Her words do not indicate that she have a night chat... she said she have a faction. Town is a faction too.
Note that I'm not taking her defence here, I'm a little suspicious too but you can't say thing that she didn't say.

[FM Big Mom]

Perhaps I should rephrase myself so that I can be fully understood for those that are much more insightful than I.

The words

You are just another tool

Insinuate manipulation which does not correlate with the fundamental basis, theoretically, of a towns perspective.
Following this with the phrase

i will use to see my faction and it's allies win this.

Can be viewed as a further insinuation of manipulation and also bespeak of being something other than town. {The greens guys just to be clear}

Since I read this and you have the inclination to disregard others and insult their attempts I cannot see you being a town in any existing world, with the information I have and using inductive logic.

{If this is a double post then please excuse it.}

Make more sense now. This is what I call a nice and logical post analysis.
I'm with you on this but I'll keep my vote on Apoo for now.

[FM Boa Hancock]

And this is exactly where you are wrong. You think your way of thinking is the only one there is. You don't even bother to see it out of more than your own perspective. Which in fact makes you believe you should step up your game or come down from your high horse. One or the other please.

Thank you.

[FM Soul King Brook]

-unvote

quite possible he is really only a Citizen

-vote FM Scratchmen Apoo

we have to unite our votes a bit, it won't work if everyone votes for someone else

[FM Wet Haired Caribou]

Hey now. Let's not forget about Kuma.
This fiend has done nothing so far but impersonate Caribou's old identity.

Kuma thinks that Journalist is dead either way.
Lynched today or shot tonight.

(Lynching the journalist?)

Just putting that out there. We have, sadly, MANY one post wonders.

[FM Tony Tony Chopper]

@ Big Mom

I compromised and went with Apoo instead of Foxy so can you do the same and re-vote Apoo. At the moment votes are spread too thinly to pressure anyone.

Again. More use of ad hominem and complete rejection of anothers attempts.
How can you, being town, completely shut down someone else in this manner?
If there is some, real and logical, reason for why I am wrong other than this continuous belligerence from you than please share it so we can move on from the spotlight you are attracting to yourself, after I shone it on you.
{Side Notes: I do not believe my way of thinking is the only way. This is a place holder as I am forced to be leaving for real life duties.}

IMO it is better to pressure someone here than someone absent.

Because i don't think you are useful to town. I think you are better silenced than hurting us in the long run, despite your faction.

I'm here. Rerolls are queer. Hopefully we don't have to get used to it.
Reading now.

-vote FM Cyborg Franky

Picked an avatar. Implies he has interest in the game. Did one single post. 20 hours later. No reaction on anything.
Remember this was the time when it looked like FM Whitebeard might getting himself lynched.
This guy surely just tried to hide the day out.

Pretty strong Pirates candidate.

[FM Soul King Brook]

eustass kid has 19 posts or so

[FM Sogeking]

SogeKing reporting in late. I have a lot of reading to do. Looks like I have to to get serious, and not troll this game.

Who am I kidding? I never troll or do I

[FM Straw Hat Luffy]

eustass kid has 19 posts or so

And 26 for Capone bege.

also, Basil gave a hint about being a town... lets not forget that.

As for the lynch, Franky is a good candidate but can't be presured because he's not here.
So now we must either take a chance with Franky or keep going to acquire more information.
(Hoping that more people will show up to argue)

Once you're done, I would like to hear your opinion on the game so far ;)

And showing up right after your name is on the lurker list is a little suspicious but I'll give you the benifit of the doubt.

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

Just caught up on everything that has been said since I went to sleep last night. The last couple pages have been filled with bickering which I do not think has benefitted us much other than to show us which players are aggressive, which could hint at their alignment, though it's too soon to tell.

[FM Wet Haired Caribou]

-vote FM Cyborg Franky

Although Caribou agrees that at least half of the people on your list would be good pressure candidates, can't we just decide on one person and stick with it? Considering there are already two votes on Apoo, Caribou thinks that this would be a good start. If we want to get something done by the end of the day, then we should probably start rallying together and pressure some of these lurkers. Splitting up like this will do us no good.

-vote FM Scratchmen Apoo

[FM Urouge]

Also if i counted correctly, we have 15 or so lurkers on that list. Going by factions that would be ~12 non marine/islanders.

[FM Soul King Brook]

Since my first vote didnt work somehow

-vote FM Scratchmen Apoo

[FM Boa Hancock]

Interesting analysis. One question though: Why pirate in particular? Could he not be CP9?

Of course he could. But since i was a member of the pirates last game. I am still more cought up in the thought process how i would play this out if i were one. It's a matter of psychology.

[FM Wet Haired Caribou]

Caribou will say it again;
We can't divide the votes like this; we won't get anywhere.

Franky or Apoo?

[FM Big Mom]

Because i don't think you are useful to town. I think you are better silenced than hurting us in the long run, despite your faction.

This is a really bad excuse. Just because I am FoSing you does not mean I am useless nor does it mean I would hurt the town in the long run.
This is even more ad ad hominem. Why can't you bring a legitimate reason for why I'd be wrong in my FoS of you and stop belittling me for my attempts to try.

You have alos just deflected the FoS onto someone who is not even here, which does not help town at all unless we are lynching.

It is more useful to pressure someone who is here than someone who is not. {I agree that Cyborg is a good FoS target for his lurking though.}
At the moment I am reading you, Boa, as a possible Pirate/Marine. I would like you to continue talking so I can form a reasonable opinion on which you might be. {Which requires you to step down from your pedestal and put yourself in my shoes for a brief moment to try and see why I think so. Or you can begin analysis of the other players and become useful that way. Right now you are only deflecting attention onto someone who is not here which is not a good sign for you}

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

Of course he could. But since i was a member of the pirates last game. I am still more cought up in the thought process how i would play this out if i were one. It's a matter of psychology.

And you believe this would be different from how you would play as CP9? Could you elaborate on how the psychology differs between the two sides?

[FM Big Mom]

Caribou will say it again;
We can't divide the votes like this; we won't get anywhere.

Franky or Apoo?

If we had to vote one or the other I would suggest Franky based on his post of:

I'm here. Rerolls are queer. Hopefully we don't have to get used to it.
Reading now.

Which insinuates an attempt to be active and seemingly town status, if he responds later with his thoughts.

Since he has not I would think he is trying to blend while not being active.

[FM Boa Hancock]

Do what you think is right. It's just a game. If you think its wise to continue to follow that matter then feel free to do so.
I am pretty sure Cyborg Franky will come back near the end of the day.
While the other candidate looks like another casual citizen/scum candidate. He looks more trolly which lets me believe that he is a more unreliable player when he is town and more of a lurker when he is scum.
Usually my gut feeling is pretty good in FM games.

And you believe this would be different from how you would play as CP9? Could you elaborate on how the psychology differs between the two sides?

They prolly don't. I just didn't thought as far as that. The rules of the classic FM work on them as well. Yeah sure.

Fair enough. Caribou shall pressure Franky for now; and others should do so, too.

Apologies for Caribou's rather short and unhelpful posts. Caribou has his hands full at home right now, and he is juggling with many things right now.

[FM Boa Hancock]

The CP9 have to be pro marine until the time comes that the town has been split in two by rebels.
The Pirates have no such restraints.

I think they all have just to duck and cover at day and kill the strongest opposers at night. Like myself. While trying to get their own guys not lynched. The faction who can pull to stay as neutral as possible until mid/late game will gonna dominate the outcomming.

Goes for all of them but town.

[FM Sogeking]

Ok, I just catched up on my reading. I have to take a lot of notes later on, but this is what I have so far.

I think Jewelry could possible be scum who faked journalist, so she could last one more day, and then possible false lynch a person. I think we should pick a target out for her so we get a true confirm. If we do that then there is more likely no BS to come our way. I also doubt that the target is going to get killed because of the risk factor. I also think the target will not lie unless of the same alliance. We should pick the target to reduce this risk.

I think Jewelry Bonney should target Dracule Mihawk because he was the was to find the scum slip.

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

Actually I was thinking as a team they would not play the same way.
The CP9 have to be pro marine until the time comes that the town has been split in two by rebels.
The Pirates have no such restraints.

I see what you're saying, but I think it's a bit flawed. If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying that the CP9 are limited by the fact that they can win with the marines, when in fact the marines would be a very valuable ally to them.

Furthermore, I think saying the Pirates are not similarly affected is also incorrect. Both the CP9 and pirates can win with one side that can also win with town (for pirates, it's the rebels, for CP9, it's the marines) as well as one side that can't win with town (each other). This means the pirates are going to try to find and destroy the marines (while killing town) and the CP9 are going to attempt to take down the rebels (again, while killing town).

I've said this before and I'll say it again. No.

Announcing the target in advance takes away their anonymity, which makes them unable to be as honest as they could otherwise be, and potentially paints a target on their back going into the night. Instead, journalist should choose a target and keep it secret from us until tomorrow. Then, once we've read the article they posted, we can determine whether or not she should reveal who wrote it.

If she wants to pick me that's fine, but if she announces my name in advance she may get me killed tonight by scum who don't want me to write it, and even if I survive the article will lose some of its value because I will not be able to say anything that I could not say in the day chat.
