Yeah, that is a good point. I hadn't thought of that. So then who do we vote for? I'm not convinced that VE is scum. Convince me otherwise. | ||

Although, killing the third poster after the daypost has a far higher success-rate. I took this post as a joke at first, but upon rereading, it looks more like he's actually agreeing with Ace here...which is odd for reasons you'll see in a moment. On July 22 2011 18:34 Palmar wrote: lol, I can see why people say you're good Ace, you somehow convinced half the thread that a random lynch on day 1 is a good idea? Like, I've played 8 mafia games, 5 of them we've lynched scum or 3rd party on day 1. That's far higher than 25%. Is this just some clever ploy to start a discussion or try to figure out who is going to be the scummy white knight who trashes your plan? btw, Killing ace day1 is stupid, just lynch him day 2 because the mafia will shoot him if he's not part of their team. Okay, so he agreed with Ace before anyone else commented, but now that I myself and Jacinto have expressed disinterest in the idea, (and now that non-scum is on the lynch docket...hint hint) suddenly Palmar thinks RL is awful. On July 22 2011 18:48 Palmar wrote: Holy shit redFF, thanks for giving advice on how to play. Here is a tip: LAL doesn't work unless you actually maintain the illusion that you'll follow through with it. But of course, you want to have an out if at some point someone actually fucks up, so you leave a hole in your policies for bad townies, something you're most certainly going to try and convince us of when one of your scumbuddies gets under pressure Why don't you just come flat out and say the plan is terrible? We all know it's not good, the problem is identifying which is more scummy, the idiots supporting the plan or the white knights fighting against it. But I think you're just posting random shit to make yourself look good. #vote redFF What I'm seeing here is an attempt to discredit redFF by not only condemning his play but voting for him based on it. Note that he's doing what Ace called him out for earlier in the game: speaking for town (see the bolded bit.) RedFF was giving his opinion on the topic at hand, and Palmar jumps his shit about A) a policy that wasn't being discussed and B) giving his opinion on RL. But because he's staying focused on the discussion at-hand, Palmar votes for him. Suspicious? I also find the bolded suspicious because he specifically identifies who he's going to find suspicious later in the day (very carefully NOT the person who offered up RL as an option and has been defending it, because they're voting for him and THAT could be construed as OMGUS amirite? No, he goes after Dragon later doesn't he? Someone who I'm tunneling and that he's sure I'll still be after later...and then me today)...food for thought. On July 22 2011 21:26 Palmar wrote: your mother. But it's still interesting. Ace proposes terrible plan, Jacinto and VE don't like it, DragonReborn actually likes it. Like.. would scum actually take the chance? The lynch isn't really 25% chance because the mafia can co-ordinate their votes, if they so please, so I think what DragonReborn did was stupid, but probably not scummy. Here's a post where he attempts to backpedal, making himself look better (hopefully) to Ace and Dragon should the wagon swing to someone else. On July 22 2011 23:29 Palmar wrote: You agreed with ace's plan. From town perspective it doesn't make any sense, as judging by the sample of games I've played town has more like 50%+ chance of hitting mafia on day one, so if you're town, you should by logic never agree to this plan. But I don't think you'd out yourself as mafia like that... early, so I'm inclined to believe it's bad judgement. redFF however responded in the scummiest way possible to Ace's plan, he was indecisive, tried to appear interested in the plan by asking further questions, when just thinking about the problem would lead you to understand why it's bad. That's why I'm voting for redFF, I think it's pretty obvious that he was avoiding taking a firm stance on it. Don't forget a random lynch is really the worst scenario for town (aside from the fact mafia can stack), and the entire point of the mafia game, is to increase that chance by analysis and logic. So yeah, read red's posts, realize that they don't make sense, given his experience as a player. Moar attax redFF. This time however, instead of addressing town he's specifically addressing Dragon in his post...saying that 'you're not as scummy as this guy, vote with ME' On July 23 2011 00:08 Palmar wrote: How the fuck have you played 100 games? have you been playing for years? Anyway This makes it look like you're perfectly fine with RL. That's a terrible idea and you should know it. And yes, I call out anyone who acts stupidly for acting stupidly. Suddenly it's clear from Dragon's posts that he doesn't trust Palmar and that he's going to vote for someone other than Palmar's Pick. Enter this post. This is the beginning of the end of Dragon. Palmar picks up on Dragon's arrogance and exploits it - attacking his playstyle and spamming the thread. I'm guilty of the same at this point, but I thought Dragon was scum. Palmar was sure redFF was scum at this point, and had no reason to enflame the situation. On July 23 2011 00:14 Palmar wrote: haha live games, sure I have 100 games on epicmafia... herpderpherpderp Anyway, redFF, tell me your thoughts. Also, pyo, he needs to be shot in the face, if we default to a policy lynch, Pyo is a great one, as he refuses to commit on day 1 when he's "town". So he just self-votes or something. Throws out random meta to make people suspicious of Pyo based on nothing. Keep reading. On July 23 2011 00:17 Palmar wrote: interesting, unwarranted self-importance. Maybe that Jac guy was on to something. "Hmmm..no one is sheeping onto redFF...Plan B."

On July 23 2011 02:20 Palmar wrote: yeah pyo, I would expect you to like random lynching, as you think voting for yourself is a good idea on day one. So, how about it, we lynch you instead? That list was completely uncalled for, making a list like that where he calls everyone town is just his way of trying to make friends as scum. Why the fuck would you share your town reads as town? I don't really give a shit who he thinks is town, I want to know who he thinks is scum. Like, I don't even think this is a questionable lynch, that shitty list just screams that he wants to contribute, make friends, but not commit to anything. Here's some more bringing Pyo meta into this game and threatening to make something of it...if he doesn't get on-board the DR lynch. For shame, Palmar. On July 23 2011 02:47 Ace wrote: ##vote Palmar Guys, listen up. This is such a ridiculous post, part of many that Palmar has made that should be looked at seriously. Hold your biases for a second, stop and re-read the thread from the start of the game. You'll notice Palmar has been trying to undermine myself and DR22 on this Random Lynch issue. Not only did he put words in our mouths to make up stuff that wasn't said but he's even taking it a step further and now acting like "The Town" has decided Random Lynching is bad, and is thus Scummy if you support it. Since when did we ever decide that Random Lynching is a Scum move?. We never did. Even worse, how could he take that stance (deciding that "The Town" has made RL scummy) when he posted this: How is it that I could have convinced half the thread that a Random Lynch is a good idea, but within the same day you also have stated that the Town has decided otherwise? Like here: Not only is he speaking for the Town, but now he is throwing out some falsities. The town doesn't have a "more than 50% chance" of hitting Mafia on Day 1 in any game of Mafia unless the game is broken. This is such an utterly stupid and absurd statement I don't know how anyone who has ever played a game of Mafia hasn't called him out on it. This quoted post is also another in a long line of Palmar misrepresenting DR's position. As DR asked him: To which Palmar has no response. The same as he can't list who I've convinced to RL. This is typical newbie Scum play. Like I said, just re-read the thread from scratch. There is no way that someone that is BLINDLY tunneling, not even reading other player's posts and purposely misrepresenting their position is likely Town. That's just so many blatant bad moves that he should be lynched. So once again, ## vote Palmar. Words of the (confirmed town) dead. Take heed. I wish I had. On July 23 2011 03:15 Palmar wrote: Ace's argument is basically revolved around this sentence. This is brilliant, from this sentence, Ace pulls two things that simply aren't true. point a) he says I claim to speak for town. This is incorrect, I say this in a general way "Looking at any given mafia game from the perspective of the town players" would've been more accurate, but I assumed that people wouldn't try to twist things that aren't there. and point b) he says that I'm throwing around false facts, again, just not true. If people actually bother to read the sentence, you can see I specifically say "and judging by the 8 games that I have played". Any statistician will tell you the sample size is too small to really mean anything, but it's all I have, so I throw it out there. Feel free to provide more statistics. So, Ace is being guilty of exactly the thing that he has accused me of, namely putting words in people's mouth. Sure, I felt after initially reading the thread that there was more support for the RL plan than there actually was. And I wrote the post on DR without actually checking if he had explicitly suggested we RL, while in truth he had simply said he'd be fine with it. Now, that this is out of the way, I really want people to take a look at the list that DR posted, it really, really is something that strikes me as very odd. And yes town, this is Ace leading a bad lynch, I'm not still sure if it's because he is scum and this is the best thing he could come up with, or if it's because he simply didn't read/understand my posts. Interestingly, he says that Ace is leading a bad lynch...but Ace wasn't interested enough in coddling us to actually lead us anywhere, so all he was doing was saying who HE'D lynch if he WERE actually leading town. Palmar however, Palmar (tries) leads town wherever he goes. That's just kinda his style. Please note that in his defense, he specifically calls for people to look at DR, the most town defense he can come up with (offering up an alternative instead of just defending himself). On July 23 2011 03:36 Palmar wrote: How many people are we going to be able to lynch tonight? Yeah, that's right 1. Now, you say you have a heavy mafia lean on VisceraEyes, so why don't you, instead of writing a pretty bland and non-commital list, instead try build a case that might get VisceraEyes lynched? You seem perfectly happy with throwing around weak accusations and then just wobbling along in the thread. That's great, if you're scum, as you don't really have to commit to anything. And as an additional bonus, you make friends! You're basically using the oldest trick in the scumbook, if you tell someone he's town, he's likely to think you're town in turn. You then cast a vote on Trotske, fair enough, as he just proved that the's actively lurking the thread, but where is the follow-up? Why aren't you pushing him to the gallows? Either you think people are scum, or you don't. There's nothing wrong with being wrong, there's everything wrong with not trying. Thing is, I have a feeling you want to stay on the good side of as many people as possible, I think that's because you're scum. This post rubbed me the wrong way for 1 very important reason. Earlier he called DR scummy because of the list, but for a different reason. THEN it was about how the list included Town reads (and why the FUCK would you post your town reads?)...in this post, his main problem is the number of suspects guy has. Which is it Palmar ? Do you want to hear about his town reads or do you want to hear about his scum reads? He's trying to appeal to ALL kinds of Dragon-haters at this point, making it clear that he's made his choice on who he wants to lynch. On July 23 2011 06:27 Palmar wrote: I'm most definitely not a lazy town, so if that's your verdict you might as well vote for me. Maybe this is your normal scumplay. Carefully making sure not to vote straight against the person accusing you, but instead discrediting them by dismissing the arguments as lazy/bad. On top of that somehow praising yourself as some vet who should be listened to. Perhaps it's time you put some of those valuable skills to use and you scumhunt, instead of voting for the first lurker that shows his face. You haven't pushed your ideas at all. Moar discreditz DR. Now he's scum because he's non-committal and isn't pushing his ideas. Also interesting to note is that he disappears prior to this until DRAGON calls him out. Palmar almost disappears completely until after the flip after another fluffy post. Maybe he thinks that everyone else is doing a marvelous job of looking scummy FOR him...who knows. ##Vote: Palmar I'm still working on a case...d2 analysis incoming. | ||

Where are the good points. Everything VE says is true, but it's just not... anti-town. I can pull out more beautiful things. He accuses me of "Giving my team ideas"... which is just... wtf? That post was made in reference to redFF getting lynched day 1 as scum in another game. Even if this was a genuine advice, why would I post it in the thread? but it's obviously a joke. Then he accuses me of changing my mind, again, how do I defend myself to that? 1. I accuse redFF a bit 2. DR422 posts a scummy list 3. I go after DR422 somehow VisceraEyes twists this into being anti-town or scummy. Like I fully admit, I changed my mind? What do you want me to say? DR422 was not only playing in a very weird way, but he was also shitting up the thread and causing bad atmosphere. Accusing me of changing my mind is like me accusing VisceraEyes of being named after a Mars Volta tune... It's true, but it says nothing about his alignment. | ||

And then he accuses me of being inconsistent with the reasons I'm suspicious of DR422, again, if you weren't fabricating this whole thing you would've stopped and realized that this list was bad in more than one way. I don't think I need to re-hash why that was, feel free to read my posts in VE's analysis. Like, this analysis is still very good for town. Go read it, look at what he's saying, look how he has managed to twist and turn every single thing that really is honest and logical into something scummy. This is mafia trying to finish the game today, he gave himself away when he started trying to use obvious jokes as scumtells. | ||

I've posted analysis of Palmar outlining why he's scum. Palmar is responding only by attacking the analysis...He's not going back and doing an analysis of MY posts, because he knows my posts have NOT been scummy and ARE indicative of my alignment. So he's letting ME do the legwork, analyze his play, and attack everything I bring to the table rather than try and find reasons why I'M scummy. One of our styles is conducive to town. One of our styles is more helpful for mafia. I'm not going to tell you which is which. | ||

I noted right back on day 1 that you seemed very enthusiastic about my sarcastic comment that I thought you were town, but I did not figure out you were scum because you agreed with my own scumreads. There are three main points in your play that gave you away. 1. Your overenthusiastic attitude back on day 1, you made like 5 posts with no content but just to give general advice and throwaway comments on how to play nice. This is great for scum because it looks like contribution but it isn't. 2. Your subtle style of pushing for Trotsky since day 2, and then immediately voting him as day 3 began. You thought you had enough support for the lynch but you didn't. You basically planned day 3 lynch before Ace even flipped. On July 26 2011 08:08 VisceraEyes wrote: K thx Trotske. When I'm done trying to get Ace lynched, you're next. Don't worry. 3. When you realized that there wasn't going to be a quiet town willing to go through with your plan and lynching trotske, you turn around and look for the next target. Now it's time to go lynch Palmar, so you write a phony analysis, based on twisting my jokes and normal posts into something scummy. ---------------------------------------------------- It's actually a fortunate turn of events that you've decided that your chances of lynching town are better with me than trotske, because I'm pretty confident in my abilities to defend myself. | ||

And for the record, I'm not trying to lynch town as you repeatedly claim...I'm trying to find scum...and I'm pretty sure I have (this time... ![]() If you're town, this is NOT a fortunate turn because we're Town on Town right now, and scum are able to just sit back and enjoy the fallout. If you're town, I wish you'd defend yourself so I can look elsewhere - but the more you just insist that I'm scum (hint: I'm not), the more I KNOW you're pushing a mislynch. | ||
