syllo this WIFOM.

You harp on this one point when there are plenty of other things that make sandro look equally bad.

Almost everyone misuses the term. It's still always more likely for someone to behave in a certain way; wifom mostly applies when you honestly can't tell what is more likely or you know for certain that the observed person is thinking about it. In this case, there is little advantage for scum sandroba to do this on day 1 and he generally won't. It's possible he made a mistake and didn't think, but I don't think so.


of course either possibility is equally likely.

If you're going to simply baselessly assert that it isn't WIFOM because it's more likely for sandro to push sinani than anyone else, then I'm going to argue that it is WIFOM because it isn't more likely.

Basically you're saying scum sandro would never push sinani for lynch day 1. Well, neither would town sandro. So now we know nothing. It's WIFOM, because you can conclude whatever you want.

What you are saying can be applied into every single thing people do and I'm not saying he would never push for sinani, I'm sure you are familiar with probabilities; mafia is a game of probabilities and that's how you determine someone is town or mafia. Do you honestly think sandroba thought that I would think like this and have enough influence over town to make it worthwhile? It's possible, just unlikely.

so you honestly believe that town sandro would push sinani206 for lynch on day 1 in a game with 78 other players, with no other scumreads?

This is what your argument boils down to.

I started replying to WBG but as I reached the end of his post, I realised that he didn't really get the idea of my analysis. Perhaps it's the way I have presented my case (it can be difficult to follow my train of thought) or perhaps it is simply his hurt ego (considering the nature of my case, WBG is likely to be biased when reading it). Either way, a lot of his criticisms were based on him not understanding the whole point of what I wrote, which makes both them and a lot of my replies rather pointless. Considering that I already wrote it, I decided to post it anyway for people who are interested.

What are the other issues?

You mention this repeatedly, like most people have, but you never actually said what they are.

I realise that you are more likely to downplay the issues raised, considering that it is your plan that is being criticised (that's how it works, it's not your fault) but we've been discussing them for quite some time now. I'll post some links but consider this: my point wasn't about whether your plan was good or not but about the way he didn't get that involved in the discussion. He was very vocal against BC's plan (he even tried to explain it to you) but when he announced his support for the new plan, he was very brief:

Is it Palmar-ish to shy away from this discussion, especially when he decided to incorporate the plan in his campaign and pledged to be active and critical? He barely touched it... Seriously, try not to think about whether your plan is good or bad but whether this is what Palmar would do.

Of course he addressed the issues.


Where?

I addressed them too.


This is not about you. This is about Palmar.

Why is it that you are trying to cherry pick my/Palmar's side of this discussion when you completely ignored the fact that syllo never responded to this question:


Because this is my case on Palmar, not on syllogism. I have, however, paid attention to Palmar's attitude towards Syllogism and Sandroba. I suggest re-reading my case.

Those are not questions to sidetrack discussion and you know it. Sandro is a very good scumhunter, all of the players who have played with him before know this.

Thus, it is incredibly weird that he would push a very easy lynch in sinani on day 1, he opposes a plan that requires us to analyze players, and he knows that the alternative, "playing standard" as you say, does not help the DTs find their sanities, nor does it help new players get accustomed to doing what they're supposed to be doing.


These quotes are from the discussion of your plan, not of Sandroba's lynch proposition.

YM said he never said Palmar was better as town as scum, despite there existing an exact quote of him saying exactly that. That's a blatant lie. YM is a liar.

All YM has done is slander and attack Palmar and his campaign. The case on YM is not weak by any means because YM has done nothing to advance a town agenda.

Tell me, what has YM done that is actually productive and conducive to a good town atmosphere? Can you name one thing?


This is not about YM (or you), it is about Palmar. YM hasn't done anything productive, of course. Have I claimed anything else?

Lastly, you make a terrible assumption that if YM was mafia his teammates would've intervened. That's not necessary. If I were scumbuddies with YM and people started suspecting him I wouldn't touch him with a 60 foot pole because I would not want to be connected with someone who is that bad at staying hidden.

You make the terrible assumption that they can only intervene in the thread instead of PM-ing him to stop him from this ritual suicide.

Who cares how I've been doing? Why do you even mention this when it has no bearing on your actual argument? This entire paragraph is just pointless fluff.


This is about Palmar, not you. Try to think about it. This is an analysis of how Palmar has been interacting with you - of course it matters how you play... I'd suggest that you go through Palmar's filter and then we can talk some more.

Lastly, you say I made 15 wrong calls in XLIV.

Nope, I was talking about XLV where I replaced GMarshal. And, more importantly, this is about Palmar, not you. + Show Spoiler +
Also, XLIV was my very first game ever and I protected three mafia players and not four Nice of you to mention it though.


Way to go, you said the complete opposite of what I said.

I said a frame will ALWAYS mess things up, no matter what you do.


I have messed up with the wording of this one. Because it is actually relevant, I will address it in another post.

I think anyone who supports my plan is more likely to be town because they actually read it.

I didn't say anything about people who do not support my plan. I purposely left that out so people like you can get baited.


The only reason mafia wouldn't read it is if you're mafia and have explained the idea to them briefly. If you weren't obviously getting emotional, I would call this a massive scum slip.


You're saying we didn't have a single good case? This is because you think the case on youngminii is bad. Sorry, but that's your opinion. This does not in any way, shape or form show how I have inappropriately used logic.


The case on YM was proposed after you post.

So your whole goal is to simply say I never make sense?


Not never. The point is that Palmar's reactions to your play did not make sense.

Yes I think it's more likely that town sandroba would do that because town sandroba is not afraid and the only reason a rational player like sandroba would push sinani is if he really thinks he is scum as there is no shortage of easy targets to go after and pretty much only sinani would lead to this reaction. He could do this from time to time as scum, though personally in a game game like this and on day 1 I think it's an incredibly rare occurrence.

You think sinani is not an easy target, in a game filled with about 80% new players?

I honestly cannot fathom how town sandro could think sinani is scum right now. He hasn't provided any other scumreads either.

also he might use the excuse, "I'm bad at discerning bad townies from scum" but honestly it doesn't apply here. He doesn't ever push easy lynches day 1 like this.

Honestly syllo, do you agree with sandro? Do you think sinani should be lynched?

WBG pointed out a miswording in my analysis of Palmar, so I'd like to clarify outside of the wall of text I just posted:

That's fine though, because a frame would mess things up no matter what.

As I pointed out earlier, one of Palmar's main criticisms of BC's plan was that framing is really hard and this way we would give the mafia a better chance at framing the right player. Palmar's exact words again:

Framing offensively is one of the hardest and most random things you can do in mafia, so if you know that some target has a slightly higher chance of being checked, I'd frame that in a heartbeat.


Suggesting that flaming will not "mess things up no mater what" is a rather illogical thing to say.


Way to go, you said the complete opposite of what I said.

I said a frame will ALWAYS mess things up, no matter what you do.

Stop twisting my words, please.


1. WBG claims that framing will mess things up no matter what.

2. Palmar indicates that framing is extremely hard and even a slightly higher chance for a proper frame is great for mafia.

3. I post: "Suggesting that flaming will not "mess things up no mater what" is a rather illogical thing to say."

The "not" shouldn't be there (and it should be framing, not flaming ^^). Framing won't mess things up no matter what because it is a very hard thing to pull. That's all.

It is not an easy target precisely because certain veterans will react the way you do. He is just attracting attention to himself for no reason by going after someone who tends to be lynched on day 1 and flipping town. Almost every new, lurking player can be considered a safer/easier lynch.

I know sandroba knows this not only because I know how he tends to think, but because he was in Resurrection and caught scum based on them going after Kenpachi.

@wbg stop being obtuse. I'm well aware of the leash back of me pushing sinani as a lynch would have. However I'm not interested in avoiding suspicion, I'm trying to get scum lynched day 1. Sinani's meta was way off and I really thought he would likely flip scum. redFF's angle was something I had not considered and can explain his behaviour. Now that he claimed veteran I find it unlikely he is scum since that role is confirmable through role cops and open claiming vet day 1 is something that would very likely get you lynched.

What you are saying can be applied into every single thing people do and I'm not saying he would never push for sinani, I'm sure you are familiar with probabilities; mafia is a game of probabilities and that's how you determine someone is town or mafia. Do you honestly think sandroba thought that I would think like this and have enough influence over town to make it worthwhile? It's possible, just unlikely.


so you honestly believe that town sandro would push sinani206 for lynch on day 1 in a game with 78 other players, with no other scumreads?

This is what your argument boils down to.

Yes I think it's more likely that town sandroba would do that because town sandroba is not afraid and the only reason a rational player like sandroba would push sinani is if he really thinks he is scum as there is no shortage of easy targets to go after and pretty much only sinani would lead to this reaction. He could do this from time to time as scum, though personally in a game game like this and on day 1 I think it's an incredibly rare occurrence.


So you think that sinani is not an easy target?

You think sinani is not an easy target, in a game filled with about 80% new players?

I honestly cannot fathom how town sandro could think sinani is scum right now. He hasn't provided any other scumreads either.

It is not an easy target precisely because certain veterans will react the way you do. He is just attracting attention to himself for no reason by going after someone who tends to be lynched on day 1 and flipping town. Almost every new, lurking player can be considered a safer/easier lynch.

I know sandroba knows this not only because I know how he tends to think, but because he was in Resurrection and caught scum based on them going after Kenpachi.


....and sinani.

lol.

also he might use the excuse, "I'm bad at discerning bad townies from scum" but honestly it doesn't apply here. He doesn't ever push easy lynches day 1 like this.

Honestly syllo, do you agree with sandro? Do you think sinani should be lynched?

I definitely do not think he should be lynched now, but I do think that sinani played early game in a atypical manner

WBG pointed out a miswording in my analysis of Palmar, so I'd like to clarify outside of the wall of text I just posted:

That's fine though, because a frame would mess things up no matter what.

As I pointed out earlier, one of Palmar's main criticisms of BC's plan was that framing is really hard and this way we would give the mafia a better chance at framing the right player. Palmar's exact words again:

Framing offensively is one of the hardest and most random things you can do in mafia, so if you know that some target has a slightly higher chance of being checked, I'd frame that in a heartbeat.


Suggesting that flaming will not "mess things up no mater what" is a rather illogical thing to say.


Way to go, you said the complete opposite of what I said.

I said a frame will ALWAYS mess things up, no matter what you do.

Stop twisting my words, please.


1. WBG claims that framing will mess things up no matter what.

2. Palmar indicates that framing is extremely hard and even a slightly higher chance for a proper frame is great for mafia.

3. I post: "Suggesting that flaming will not "mess things up no mater what" is a rather illogical thing to say."

The "not" shouldn't be there (and it should be framing, not flaming ^^). Framing won't mess things up no matter what because it is a very hard thing to pull. That's all.


You're still twisting my words.

In context of how I said it, it was obvious that I was talking about a successful frame on a DT target.

You're grasping at straws to make me look bad. It's hilarious.

Right, it's about the unaddressed concerns in the addendum that I posted.

Wtf are you going on about? You say repeatedly that the concerns are unaddressed. I tell you that I've addressed them all and you reply that it's not about me?

Dude what are you going on about?

Why say that the concerns are unaddressed, then when I point out to you how I replied and rebutted all of the counterpoints, you say that it's not about me?

syllo+sandro, what's weird about you two is that you've proven before that even if you're of opposite alignments you buddy together really hard.

This is why I'm having a hard time reading both of you. You could be of any alignment combination at this point and no one would know.

Thus, I am suggesting that we kill both of them by day 3 if they do not change their current behavior. It's literally impossible to tell what your alignment is.
