I am not playing with fear. I play by asking a lot of questions to try and understand the thought processes of the other players in the game. So when a player calls me suspicious for absolutely no reason, I ask for a reason. You've still not given one, other that I've asked why I'm suspicious. On the one hand I find that to be bogus, and on the other it does nothing to explain the initial suspicion.
I missed the action. I was working constantly for a few days there so it just slipped my mind. Oops. Why are you so insistent on getting role information out of me?

Thank you for this rundown. I felt Silver was more believable in the original exchange as well, so if one of them is lying I would guess that it is Roy, which also seems to potentially implicate Adam, I think. BUT a lot of this Night Action analysis is foreign to me and just has my head spinning, so I can't pretend to have a firm grasp on it, but I'm trying.

Okay Sloonei, some slack cause you're new even though you're not.

Adam tried to explain it pretty artfully below, but the more you ask for assistance, information, and people's reasoning all data which could help you "weasel your way out" of whatever someone may have on you, is a big red flag for most of us. I get that is how you play. I am telling you it makes you look scummy for most of us. You answer allegations and then people say what they have on you, which of course may be nothing more than a hunch. That's how it works man.

Can you quote yourself dragging someone in the N1 write up, or where you think it is?

This is the most helpful explanation yet of the heat I received, thank you. It actually makes some sense in this context.

Like I've said a few times, where I come from role claims are illegal so every suspicion should be substantiated by content in the thread. If someone just comes in and vaguely states "I find Sloonei suspicious" then everyone in the game, not just me, will look at that person and say "Okay... why?" There's no other way for us to play. So when I saw it happening here, I did what I know to do best. I know that no one can have any info on me that paints me in a bad light because I targeted a living player in Night 1 who, as far as I know, has reported no ill-effects, and then I failed to do anything on Night 2.

I think Silver's analysis is the most likely option; the mafia have a tracker, and Roy used that information even though he didn't personally obtain it. I definitely targeted Darkstone, which Darkstone confirmed.

I am asking questions because I want to understand what is happening so that my judgment here in this game can be as clear as possible. I am making no effort to be a weasel. I ask a lot of questions even when I do know what is going on.

Do you have anything on me besides a hunch?

I imagine it's quite a culture shock coming from somewhere that outlaws role-claiming to here where role-claiming is central to the playstyle.

Do you play with power roles? I'm curious as to whether the cop, for example, being unable to roleclaim, has to rely on parallel construction to make a case for a lynch if he finds mafia.

This could be my night 1 target and I, supposing we're both Santas. The two Santas in this highlighted section seem uninvolved in the larger action of the write-up. It is tough to tell, as I've said, because there's 800 Santas here.

We have tons of wacky power roles all the time, so the roles themselves aren't unfamiliar to me (some of the names/acronyms are though), but we also play with all the roles posted publicly by the game host most of the time, so if anyone role claims then it just becomes a game of "identify who has each role and check them off the list." We have to play by gathering information privately, if we have such a role, and bringing our suspicions to light in the thread. This is why I ask so many questions. The more information a person gives, the easier it will be to read and understand their motives.

I feel we are talking too much about me today and that is largely my own fault. I apologize for being a distraction. Who are you most suspicious of, adam?

Could we get a list of all the role claims so far?

What's the "something" that twinged you about MP, darkstone?

I usually am pretty suspicious of quiet players. So there's a few this game that fall under that umbrella, but right now I'm most suspicious of Roy, who I felt like tried to buddy up to me with his tracking results. Buddying up to town is pretty typical mafia behavior.

Fair deal, thanks.

I also find myself most suspicious of Roy. Even in the light of this new understanding on how things work here, I still feel like the way he treated the suspicion against me was an opportunistic scum move, and the role discrepancy between him and Silver is looking like icing on the cake. I'm confident enough to put a vote on him now.
