Everything I said was to include an extra option to show that you should not do something straight forward and instead be flexible based on what might happen in the future. And you're telling me a townie wouldn't say it out, biased much. Going to sleep see you in a few hours. This is exactly the wrong approach--the scum approach. "Hmm, I need to look like a townie, what would a townie say in this situation?" Townies say all kinds of things--we have sinani206 (presumably town) for instance saying, don't meta, scum hunt. We have BC saying we should use a zodiac list and not protect people on it night 0, etc. In a lot of cases, it's not what is said, it's how. And how you made your post is exactly what YM picked up on--you WERE uncertain and timid. Therefore, your defense actually makes you look worse in my eyes. If you're gonna defend yourself, tell me these two things: 1) do you agree/disagree that your current play is similar to your scum play in XXIX rather than your town play in XXVIII. 2) can you provide a rationale for why your posting so far looks like your scum play more than your town play? And sinani, btw, you saying don't use meta b/c of night 0 start is bullshit. Maybe you're worried because you didn't post anything at night, and that doesn't fit with your town meta? whatever, meta is a very important part of good analysis, and having one little mechanic change is not going to change that. | ||

So compelling in fact, that I am placing my vote on Ilovejonn to increase his pressure a tiny bit. ##Vote: iloveJonn | ||

This post would make more sense if he had just encouraged everyone on the list to start posting, though perhaps that town qualifier was just there to pressure mafia. In addition, logically it doesn't make much sense as getting killed on night 0 sucks whether you happened to make a few posts or not and posting would only make it more likely. | ||

At first I felt that youngminii's case against ILJ was a bit weak. The "ifs" and "unless of course" could just be an effect of N0. Since we didn't have anything to go on, I can understand him not wanting to make any hard statements. Now, what really makes him seem scummy to me is this defense: + Show Spoiler + On June 15 2011 14:52 ilovejonn wrote: hokay there buddy. First off, I'm not going to make a rebuttal out of every point you made because clearly with your PbPA you're stretching a lot of points to justify a conclusion you already had in mind beforehand with posts that don't actually add anything. Also, don't try to do a meta-read on me, I might be playing different because I want to, I may be playing different because I've learned a few things, I might like to use "I think" or "unless of course" because I deemed it necessary to show that I am unsure (it was n0 after all). When you meta read someone, you're heavily biased to see what you wanted to see in the first place anyways. Let's read one of those points: What makes you say a townie wouldn't do that? Wait a minute, I read my post again and what? You take those words out of context and shape them into something that you deem scummy. I lol'd. It also seems to be a recurring theme in your analysis. I'm done here because I don't want to waste time defending myself when I could possibly find scum, but I like the direction you're going for generating discussion since there aren't any posts since Day 1 started, so thanks. + Show Spoiler + On June 15 2011 15:31 ilovejonn wrote: Tell me again why a townie would not say those things.

During my games in EpicMafia the "Why wouldn't I have done that?"-defense is the one that I've seen the most times. Some of you might say that EM is a totally different game, but I believe that the behaviour of scum is quite similar in both games. I don't like the use of this defense at all. It just makes him seem altogether more scummy to me. | ||

This is ilovejohn's defense post. I do NOT see this post as scummy. Reading the post YM is referencing, the "uncertain" language IS taken out of context. It's too early, in my opinion, to use metagame to analyze one's "play" this early in the game. For that reason, WILL NOT support a lynch of ilovejohn this day unless someone comes up with some actual evidence. | ||

There's like 4-5 of them from N0, and all but maybe one are giving blues advice, asking for blue advice, or otherwise discussing blue roles. IMO, he was a pretty obvious snipe. Moral of the story: don't spend a lot of time talking about blues and nothing else. We can talk about this more post-game. Scamp, the game GGQ is talking about is XXXVII. Ver = Ser Aspi. Although he and jackal did use PMs well, especially when it came to the endgame, the town kinda got lucky with a huge town circle that cleared LSB who otherwise would have been a great and easy mislynch for scum to push. So... yeah, like almost every game, it wasn't perfect play (or what we imagine is perfect) that won that game for town. Back to this game: I can only assume that Pondo was an attempted blue snipe. Not sure about kita. I find it odd that scum went for blue snipes over forum vets n0. I take this to mean that BC's zodiac was successful in deterring hits... Well, that's only good for us imo.

As for his defense, It's not compelling. I'm going to keep an eye out for his posting today, but I'm not convinced enough to put down a vote. Moving on, FudgeMunkey needs to post better. He's got a relatively high post count, but hasn't said much of anything. Most of his posts follow the following format: ask a basic question or agree with somebody state the obvious [elispes] make a conclusion based off of obvious statement.[possibly more elipses] Please try to add more content to your posts. I'm liking the considerably less spammy environment. | ||

Just because I've won the game does not constitute to the fact that I may or may not decide to change my playstyle in future games. All this meta you've put in your analysis is pretty bs. If you want to look back at my posts and compare them with other people's post, I can easily find a few people contributing without actually contributing, hell there are even people that said almost EXACTLY what I and other people have said just in longer vague posts. What I'll admit to, is that based on the projected image that I have as townie and scum (my meta), what I have been posting up to now has been considered bad play to the eyes of other people. However, you'll see that this is still not the direction town is headed to lynch scum, because I know I'm a townie. In b4 WIFOM. Also when I defend myself people say it's scummy (I don't know how, maybe all townies shouldn't defend themselves, then everyone who does defend themselves will be outted as scum), when I don't defend myself they'll say I'm not scum-hunting. OF COURSE I'm going to defend myself, and you shouldn't expect any less from any other player as well, if you're townie and leading the lynch for the day right now you'd be damn sure I'm going to veer town back into the right direction. I'll be posting analysis when I actually have a plausible case. Ironically I've got some town reads on some people based on the n0 posts. For now though, On June 14 2011 13:59 ilovejonn wrote: I think we need to move on. The plan is bad, no one should do what sandroba suggested, now we can all stop posting about it.

Anyone who continue to discuss the merits or demerits of it after this point is suspicious to me. You didn't say anything I haven't said either in that post, suspicious. ##Vote: GGQ. | ||
