@Pendio , to respond to your posts.
You're heavily appealing to emotion. I don't like that. I'm merely stating suspicions, fair or not fair, and I'm rather flexible about it.
I've likewise pointed out earlier suspicions against Viral and Sadia. Next to that have I openly given my opinion about multiple other players, and never have I said that I know for sure you're scum or that you're the only one on my list right now that I don't trust.
If you then respond to me simply calling you out by appealing to emotion instead of bringing up proper arguments, obviously I would start trusting you less.
Let me quote some parts that appeal to emotion, specifically the bolded parts.
To be fair I have not really played Mafia in a year. I am still kind of getting into it again[true. I get that. For me it's actually been more than 2 years. So perhaps likewise allow me to make here and there a small mistake when trying to figure it out again. Not really a reason to avoid discussions about yourself, though]. Besides, it is still just day 1. And I think I am able to keep my calm pretty well.
Oh and by the way, Kirion, am I honestly the one player in this game that you the most desperately want to see dead? Judging by your vote, it would seem so. I just want to be sure.
Oh and one more thing, Kirion, you never answered one of my questions from earlier. Am I seriously the one player you'd most like to see dead at the end of this day?
As far as I can tell there are several other players who share my views and opinions on what is going on [care to enlighten me about what views and opinions, and which players?]. So why the vote on me specifically? You do not even seem all that sure about your vote.[would you make this same statement had I called out someone else? Kind of the point of day 1 that you cannot yet fill an entire storage room with evidence. Being to sure of myself would certainly not be a good trait here] I figured that since you are voting for me, you would rather want me dead than any of the other players. However, you have yet to confirm that.
And regarding me posting at night (night our time zone), it is simply because I like staying up at night a lot and I do most of my sleeping when the sun is up. In fact, I am just about to go to bed now. I will be back here when I wake up.[I never questioned that, or found that scummy]
At the same time, you changed from never having mentioned me in any of your posts to heavily criticising my theories and throwing attacks back to me. Not a bad thing, criticise me please, but the change from never having mentioned me to making me look a tad suspicious seems like OMGUS to me.
For example:
Oh wow, you still seem to be so set on Storm being innocent. You do not even seem to consider the fact that he might be Mafia. Judging by the way he plays there is no chance I am removing my vote. He plays extremely scummy. Even you should not be able to deny that. Fake claiming Doctor? Seriously? And you still blindly seem to believe he is definitely Town? Of course he could be Town, but there is a very good chance he is scum too. No matter what he is, I believe that a Storm lynch today would be for the best. And should Storm die and flip scum, then I will very strongly be on your case tomorrow, Kirion.
I never said it wasn't possible that he is mafia. I've always been rather nuanced about that. Yet, for reasons I explained multiple times, I think/thought it was more likely that he is town. Saying that I blindly believe he's town, that I don't even consider it etc. is a grieve overstatement. And then especially the last sentence, that all eyes would be on me if he flips scum tomorrow. A ridiculous statement, and great attempt to make me look less reliable.
This here is a brilliant point against Kirion's suggestion. The Mafia Roleblocker is an extremely common role to have in a Mafia group. And I also agree with many other things that Soul has had to say.
There are plenty of other possibilities for a powerful role that Storm could be having. Vigilante, Cop, Roleblocker, Tracker, Watcher and Jack-of-all-trades are just s a few examples. I still do not think your reasoning makes any sense. It feels like you are just theorizing without any logic.
Theorizing without any logic.
Yah.
Strong words. But okay. It just came to my mind that as I think it's highly likely that there are no VT's in this game, and hence that everyone has "some sort of power role", he might've just misjudged the relevance of his role and isn't actually that important to us at all. And removing the doc, I would only consider the cop and vig as important town roles. All others can be helpful, but might not be special if all of us have such a role. Then specifically attempting to save his "important role" might be a waste of time.
But I called it just a theory myself. Not a given fact. So please theorise otherwise. But using the strong wording as you did in most of your last posts to me, it doesn't turn into an open discussion, but also heavily debates my trustability. Based on what, just because I dared to consider you might not be town?
Now, to the question of whether I really think you're scum or not. I don't know, really. I heavily dislike appeal to emotion, and felt I needed to point that out, and it is scummy, but not necessarily. What I further dislike about your defense is that you pretty much pressure me to either go full in, or to back down completely. It's day 1, and I'm not confident enough about you being scum to dedicate the next 5 pages of this game about discussing that. That would force me to look for arguments to support my case which are not really there, and so to take them out of their context to make them suit my case. Backing down whereas you're still one of my best leads so far is equally disappealing.
You did the same in Radiant Historia Mafia. I backed down then, and a few turn later when you got nightkilled it turned out you were indeed scum. I don't want to make the same mistake. Yet, going all in when I'm not even sure yet if at the end of the day I really want you to be the one to be lynched is also stupid. I'm carefully gonna think this through.
