Okay, after going over the whole thread since the beginning of Day 1, I think I finally have enough evidence to have a real opinion.
Trick Room first spoke up in post #108, nearly fifty posts into into the game. He speaks up for only one reason: to defend Tenken. It's a bit curious that he waited until then to speak up.
Guys I think ninjask is scummy hes using WIFOM.
@Rook: I really mean that you are by voting Tenken. He hasn't done anything to deserve a vote.
When Trick Room speaks up again almost fifty posts later, it is again to defend Tenken. His argument is that Tenken reminds him of another game where a poor player couldn't defend himself well. He conveniently suggests that we should examine Rook instead, whom askaninjask had proposed in post #127. He spoke up for the sole purpose of deflecting attention from Tenken to Rook.
I think that we should actually lay off tenken a little bit because in a game in mafia-scum i've been playing this thing has been happening a person that isn't the best player gets accused and can't defend themselves well so they end up getting lynched and flip town. In the game I'm playing we're at lylo because of this and of course we don't want that. I think Rook may be scum because he is overly defensive, I think that he wants to vote tenken to fit in and stay clear from any fire.
He again reiterates his suspicion of Rook.
Why would I vote you Ninjask is confirmed mafia dumbass!
The defensiveness is my main suspicion for now.
He gives askaninjask sass, though this doesn't really mean much either way.
Thank you for your opinion.
I'm not clear on who he was talking to in post #173. What this addressed to Class?
Now, in post #180 I expressed my concern that we are grasping at straws and that we need more information before we can be reasonably sure of what we are doing. Trick Room seizes this idea and runs with it:
Right now I agree with reach we need to get atleast 1 confirmed scum so we can start thinking of potenial buddies. Right now we are going just on play when have power roles that are ment to be used. We need to look at people at a less behavior (ex. poor play/good play) early game because we know nothing right now we want to lynch tyranidos because he is "delirious" and MAY of killed Rook because Rook had something on him. I think that is plain stupid we need hardcore proof for the start so we don't dig ourselves a hole. On day 6 or so when we are looking for scum buddies we are going to go off of our iffy suspicions early game to find this. I think our game plan should be to inspect a person we think could be mafia we get a hit then we can go off of the possible strategies they had.If not then we know what not to look for. Right now we are playing weak we are killing ourselves by not seeing that not everyone plays 100% town and if we go off of something that is so iffy and risky to the sake of the game it would be a slaughter by the mafia. We need facts not mental examinations.
"we need facts". Trick Room suggests that circumstantial evidence is not good enough, he need hard information. billymills responds to his concerns (and mine) in an excellent post, #183. However, Trick Room won't accept billy's answer.
Right now the latest I would want this is tommorow(as in game days) because we don't want more townies possibly being killed with card flip off we don't know if we are doing right with out power roles going through. I think that Day 3 should when inspections start we will have more of an idea of our status in the game.
Trick Room wants the inspector to air his/her results ASAP. He is alarmed by the idea that we will have to use circumstantial evidence until then.
I think it is not that unreasonable that they killed rook. Look at us now we're a mess we are wasting time wondering why the mafia nk'd someone, that is what they want. Also since we have to look for a new lynch more people have to talk giving the mafia more of an idea to nk that night. If there anymore thoughts on this speak cause we need to move on.
Trick Room apparently thinks that Rook was killed to confuse the village.
So to reiterate: Trick Room first spoke up
specifically to defend Tenken, and later spoke up
specifically to deflect attention from Tenken to Rook, once askaninjask mentioned him as a target. It seems probable to me that the mafia had already decided at that point that they wanted Rook specifically dead, so they seized the idea once askaninjask suggested him, attempting to steer the vote away from Tenken. After all, why night kill Rook when they could get him lynched? When Tenken was lynched, however, the mafia night killed Rook, as they had already been planning. Trick Room clearly wants the inspector to play an early role in this game, and is eager to see him/her revealed. He lay low at the beginning of the game, surfaced to defend Tenken and attempt to bandwagon Rook, then responded when he was called out by billymills by calling for early game inspector involvement, despite the fact that billymills had just given good reason for why that is a bad idea. I feel that taken together, Trick Room's posting history is very suspicious. As such, I believe that we should
fire Trick Room.
