Then an hour later Look at the time stamps, within 3 minutes of each other. And none of them posted for 2 hours previous to bandwagonning rookie. It looks liek co-ordination. Also check Senj, for the bandwagoning on Rookie. | ||

I'm very disappointed, guys. You all get 0/2 on your homework for today. The veteran players are all going to be dead before this game is nearly over, and you guys need to practice working on how to actually find scum, not just accuse people based on neutral tells. Keep your heads up, don't get discouraged. Look at contradictions in talk and behavior. Look at people who are skating by with posts that just repeat previous content. These are the scummy players. The point was to lead you to Kurumi and iGrok above everyone else. Kurumi attacks lafali for his bandwagon vote bringing nothing new to the table on freeloader. There was absolutely no reason for him to throw scum on lafali so early in the game if he's mafia. Plus his aggressiveness and balls-out attitude are more inline with a green than anything else. Kurumi is most likely town. iGrok defends lafali as probably newb town. He's the only one who defends lafali straight out, but Vain, aprudds, monsterDrakar, and Senj also soft-defend him. I'm not saying they are all scum, but it's a great place to look for scum (dts take note! vigis save your shots). At this point in time I think iGrok is almost certainly the godfather of the mafia team (it could be jackal as well but his behavior doesn't fit the role as well, and seems more in line with the town play I've seen from him). iGrok defends lafali after Kurumi calls him out and votes for him, while before this accusation he posted that everyone who had voted so far ( which included lafali) should be under suspicion. Contradiction. iGrok has also been working to get into a town-leadership and thread-presence position all game, something the godfather always tries to do. iGrok also got way too defensive after being attacked and accused. Other suspicious people to me: Vain, partly for defending lafali, partly for advocating the lynch on freeloader for 'information' blehhhhh I already posted about that, and partly because iGrok listed him as a skilled vet with him, me and jackal when I think he's quite new and I havent seen anything particularly good from him. iGrok probably wanted another mafia on that list, though. Of course jimbooo whom I voted Day 1, for reasons already stated by multiple players. Others are monsterDrakar and Senj. xkcd has decreased on my scum meter lately but isn't totally clear. I've read most of the posts in the thread since the day started, and I've barely picked up anything except random white noise against each other. This is one of the few well organized posts that isn't TLDR with too much fluff, not enough meat. I can totally see why they would spend 2 KP's on this guy. Seriously, some people are reading way too deep into people's words and adding their own already-present biases into someone's post, and then using that to reinforce their own thoughts. People should really put more emphasis into logical arguments not stuff like "oh he's defending himself too hard" or "he's posting too aggressively". I would look for actual contradictions and/or other evidence like GGQ did. Personally, I think there's only 1 person that we have solid evidence against: Amazingkxcd (nearly all his posts are random finger pointing, vote bandwagonning on Rookie and failure to explain his vote bandwagonning) As for iGrok, I do agree he could be GF, but I don't think it's a high priority to kill him this early. He seems like a decent player and it would be a big loss if he really is town. Just keep an eye on him, to see if he keeps making contradictory posts. I also think Mafia are far more likely to be people who are infrequent posters (except for the GF of course) than be prominent figures in this thread since this is a newbie game after all, so I would try to analyze these people more. | ||

I am a little surprised that no vigis took a shot last night. Our vigis may be inactive, or we may not even have any. Because I was sure the case for lynching xkcd was strong enough to warrant an early hit. w/e. I'm voting xkcd for now. Thank you.. this is exactly what I was trying to say. Personally, when I read iGrok's posts on Day 1, I came to the same conclusion and they all seemed grounded in reason without seeming the least bit suspicious to me. Take a step back and don't assume someone is mafia FIRST, then base your analysis on that assumption. Instead, simply look for contradictions or other tells showing that he really could be mafia. Defending yourself against ridiculous tunneling arguments is also hardly a sign of being mafia. | ||

While its important to hear their defense, they aren't defending themselves, but DISTRACTING you. - haven't read 48 yet. What would be an appropriate defense in your eyes? I'm curious. I've been reading http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=147475 for some insight into reading scum tells. Basically what Ver shows us is that the most important theme among mafia posts is looking like they're contributing, but not actually say anything. Basically, a lot of empty words without performing any real analysis, not suggesting any targets and not coming to any conclusions. KXCD's post was actually the exact opposite of that. He actually analyzed players pretty deeply and used plenty of reasoning in his posts if you read it carefully. I haven't read all of it yet, but what I have read so far has made sense to me at least when I was reading it, and he gave strong conclusions about whether people were town or mafia. It's basically as Pro-Town as you can possibly get. Mafia on the other hand do NOT want you to have any solid leads or come to any real conclusions, especially not about nearly every single person in this game. Furthermore, he's about to get lynched and he knows it. If he really WAS mafia, all those hours he spent writing it would be worthless since no one would believe anything coming from someone who flipped red. There is basically absolutely no reason why a mafia would make a post like that. While KXCD was very suspicious before for his bandwagonning and his lack of defense, I'm beginning to think that we've made a mistake. iGrok could still very well be GF but arguments against him also seem a bit inconclusive. I'm going to look into the Jackal case for GF myself to see if it makes sense to me. | ||

This is the kind of reasoning I take issue with. You are expecting there to be some "magical" defense that will save you from getting lynched when half the town is on you already. What do you expect him to say? "Guys I'm town, please believe me!"? Honestly, if I was Mafia and in his position, I would've just said fuck it and leave the thread, not make some gigantic post giving in-depth analysis to nearly everyone in the game. Just like I said earlier, you need to stop looking at people's posts with mafia-tinted glasses. Maybe he made a strong analytical/Pro-Town post because he IS town, possibly a detective as someone pointed out. | ||

And iGrok would rage quit if I voted for him. I'm voting for Aril because the little prick just voted for me twice and spelled my name wrong each time. With nary a word in here.Wow guys.. this is one of the scummiest posts I've ever seen. Wishy-washy, apologetic, and leading no where. Ends off with a random useless vote. I'd say this post is far more incriminating than anything Amazing or iGrok have posted so far. Combined with analysis from Amazing (whom I believe is likely DT), I'm switching my vote to Jackal. iGrok just seems disgruntled now, he's still on the list for potential GFs, but I still think it's nowhere near solid. | ||

On June 10 2011 13:19 Pyo wrote: I'm still not sure why he didn't claim his role as DT given that he was leading the lynch vote. I mean he could have saved himself by just voting for iGrok. All in all, I'm just a little baffled by xkcd's play. Firstly, there are Mafia Roleblockers. Secondly, there's a good chance there are no more Medics. If he made it entirely clear that he's a DT, he'd be dead and/or useless. This is a game of subtleties and why people need to look at things from a neutral/analytical perspective, and not with preconceived notions. | ||

As well as the lynch list. Again, a lot of discrediting of other posts without real analysis, wishy-washy posts, all signs are pointing to scum. | ||

It's stated at the beginning of this thread that it's 32 town, 8 mafia. | ||

This is an amazing case,I can't agree more! Not. You're a terrible poster and horrible scum. You haven't made any case against him Yourself. You're just active lurking and joining on any potential bandwagon. There was clear evidence on rookie44:blue fishing,though it can go either way(confused blue or scum). People who backed off and defended rookie44 hardcore are most likely scum. Treadmill is scum. iGrok is highly likely the GF.[/QUOTE] Fine, Ill just lurk like the other 30 people and jump on bandwagons like the other 30 people, otherwise every time I try to say something everybody else tries to jump on me.[/QUOTE] Here's one of the most incriminating posts of grush57 I just fished out. He was trying to defend his "lurking", and only when he eventually got called out did he actually post something about his reasoning. Obviously Mafia would prefer if they could easily/quietly bandwagon. My vote goes towards him for now. | ||
