Thoughts? While I know there are a few people who I've pointed out as being shady, Paperscraps right at the top of the list, this is something I can keep coming back to agree on.
Notice how when asking for someone else's opinion on Paper, he asks the only other guy to have voted for him today? That's shadddddy.

He was consistent in his FOS on Jackal and second guessed himself on decon. As for Pandain, I am looking at his push for the sandroba lynch. Right now that is what makes him town in my mind but I am taking a closer look. I think you're confusing something. Pandain was never pushing for a Sandroba lynch. He was actively against it.

Since Paper isn't here to defend himself, allow me to play devil's advocate. Perhaps I can at least persuade you that today the right lynch is Adam and that we can look at Paper tomorrow. My thoughts will be in bold/underlined. Pandain, please don't take this as an attack against you, I am merely trying to prevent a mislynch of someone I believe is claiming the truth.

Take for example, his reads. He was suspicious of decon, jackal, and toast. Toast I actually am learning towards town now given the huge contributions he's been doing lately, trying to figure stuff out. Decon I'm almost certain is town. And Jackal, as we all know now, is town. Bad reads could be either town or mafia. This is something I've learned quite quickly this game.What has he done regarding the only confirmed mafia(sandroba) Show nested quote +Sandroba will by far be the easy lynch tomorrow and maybe rightly so. Posts one line content and filler. I don't agree with Sandroba's read on TheToast as of now. TheToast is null to me at the moment. I feel as though Sandroba might be too easy of a lynch. If Sandroba is mafia, then why lurk and post crap and be sure to get lynched. Does Sandroba just not care about the game? Maybe just a bored vanilla townie? Before the night ends, he states hish reasons against voting sandroba because "he's too easy." To be fair, When Sandroba claims, this is what he describes. Show nested quote +Ok so Sandroba claims vet or saved by medic. Why would Sandroba have been targeted as all last night? I don't think a medic would have been on Sandroba either. Thus that leaves the vet claim. Honestly I think Sandroba is SK that is claiming a fake hit. However later he would backtrack, saying that we should not lynch him because he claimed............vet.(yeah, vet). Show nested quote +Deconduo, TheToast, and Jackal are all better lynches. I don't know if we should lynch Sandroba yet, due to the hit claim. Sandroba is on ice though and needs to start contributing as do a lot of other players. First off, this doesn't make sense. You state specifically that he says we shouldn't lynch sandroba because he claimed "vet", then give a quote where he doesn't even mention that?
Also, this could very easily be a vigilante trying to figure out where the other shot would come from. If he knows that he's holding a shot, then he's going to be the most interested an vested in who the other shooters are.
Plus, if we were just to look at the Sandroba case, why should we have more reason to believe yourself over Paperscraps? You both made some shady vote switches which are going to be working against you now. If anything, you were more defensive about the Sandroba lynch than Paper was.After Sandroba basically gave up, Paper finally votes against him.

Only one person died last night. Something doesn't fit here.
Going to change my vote anyways. Back to my "tunnel" on Deconduo, who has been coasting.
##Unvote
##Vote: Deconduo
Inb4 people say I am scum trying to make myself look townie "if" Sandroba flips vet. Read this post, over and over. There are many things that feel wrong in this post. From the "inb4 you guys call me scum" to the "going to change my vote anyways , this post just is oddly timed. First off, he clearly states the truth here. The bandwagon on Sandroba went up really fast and Sandroba did not put up a fight. Again, I'd like to reiterate that you also did some very scummy things around the time of the Sandroba flip.
Also, again, he could merely be confused because he knows he has a shot.
Finally, I think you're being quite hypocritical: After your gambit against Tea you claimed that there was absolutely no way that you could be mafia. This sounds very similar to Paper's "inb4 you guys call me scum". Also, you're switch on Sandroba also looked very scummy, but you weren't afraid to do it. Why should Paper be?Then he posts this, which is his longest post, and coincidentally because he was accused of being scum. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=315210&user=62048¤tpage=2Note in this post he says he asked rg who he was going to shoot because "he wanted to play along." No , that's a horrible excuse. I can't even explain why its so wrong, just read it and realize why that 1. Isn't how you would do it. 2. Hurts town if he does say who he's going to shoot 3. is a anti town question in general. Do you think it's possible that he asked rg who he was going to shoot because, knowing that he himself is a vigilante, he knows that rg is fake claiming and he wants to find out what he's up to? Also, this was your defense as to why it was okay for Adam to ask you if you were watcher/tracker:Show nested quote +If he was watcher/tracker, then he would be able to infer whether I was fake claiming. After all, there was a reason why I left it ambiguous whether I "was" tracker or watcher. If I claimed one, the real one could've counterclaimed and I would've looked super scummy. Maybe Paper is trying to infer whether rg was claiming so that he could counterclaim. I just see a lot of things that look similar between yourself and Paper, which is why I don't see why you would be making this case. Can you not see these similarities?

I agree Paperscraps could be SK as how tonights number of KP that got fired was 2, Either that we have a gloriously awesome medic that blocked the SK shot last night or hit a vet I'm not sure.
Right now, I will vote Paperscraps instead of just leaving my vote to be useless on me
##Vote: Paperscraps Bluelightz, I encourage you to read my response before you disappear.

It would not surprise me at this point if there is no SK but rather there is a mafia team of Sandroba, Adam, Pandain and Bluelightz.

Pandain, why are you so sure deconduo is town?

And I'm asking your honest opinion here, not some sort of I'm going to try to trick you into saying something stupid.
Why is decon town in your eyes? I don't see what makes him so town that you would suggest saving him tonight.

P.S. I'm leaving work now, so if you did have something for me to reply to, I didn't disappear. I'll be home in about an hour.

I have no problem defending myself to try and alleviate your concerns.
First off, yes I did flip flop a lot. I voiced my opinions and suspicions as they came across my mind. While I realize this may not have been the best idea, perhaps I should have waited until I had more information on things, you have to appreciate that this is my first game of forum mafia ever. I'm not trying to say that anything suspicious I did can be blamed on this, but certainly I think it justifies my unfiltered responses and comments.
Second, I have already stated that I don't see any reason to disbelieve Paper's vig claim. I think that both sides were brought up, mostly by Probulous and Pandain, and in the end, I choose to believe that he is telling the truth. Also, here is the full quote for reference (it is in reference to Pandain being shady):

Third, I did think it was silly of you to just claim that Paperscraps was going to be lynched day 2 after he voted you. I didn't see any reasoning for you to FoS him.
Finally, I apologize for implying you might be scum when you're being a tough read. However, I thought I would put that thought out there so that if something should happen to me tonight, people would at least consider the option.

All right, seeing as everyone(except decon?) thinks/knows I'm town at this point, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to die. Thus, I went back and had a look through everyone’s filter and the entire thread in general. If I live, I'll talk to you all in a few minutes.
Paperscraps + Show Spoiler +As I've stated before, I'm always willing to change my views in light new evidence. Up until day 3, I'll admit, I had quite a bias against Paper, and I was actively looking for flaws in his play. However, I have seen absolutely no reason to disbelieve his vig claim. The vig claim: Paper takes particular interest in the vigilante claim. So much so that it caused me to think he was fishing for a blue role. Makes sense when he claims vig that he was probably trying to call rg out on his bluff. rg who are you shooting tonight? Also, he makes it quite clear from the beginning that he expects a lot out of Jackal. Jackal has posted no substance at all. His reaction to the Misder lynch was over done. He has buddied/defended Decon which I find scummy. @Jackal: I would like to see some actual scum hunting come from you. Anything at all really, that isn't filler On Sandroba: This quote was brought up as "damning" by both Pandain and Probulous: Only one person died last night. Something doesn't fit here. However, there are 14 players and up until that point, everyone had been assuming there were at least 2 KP: 1 from mafia and one from SK. Ask yourself if you really expected only a single kill. It makes sense that Sandroba was hit by an SK! He turned out to be mafia and I've been informed that SK goes after mafia first. Now, what about the KP on night 2? What's the missing link? Well, do you think it's so unreasonable that mafia and SK would both want to get rid of a town-sided Palmar? Sure, SK doesn't know Palmar's town, but they know he's not on their team. Who else were they going to kill? There is no reason to try and convince ourselves otherwise if it is the simplest explanation; therefore, we can't assume that they didn't double stack. If we do this, we are allowing ourselves to believe there is one less killer than there could potentially be, and that would probably not be good. My accusation: Paper's first reaction to my accusation is very town. While scum would be happy to lurk and not have people actively playing the game, he was happy that people were attempting analysis. Holy crap this is awesome! People are actually playing the game now. His answers to my accusations were all very towny. He understood that i actually believed he was scum and he tried to clear things up for me, quite patiently. He did not try to misdirect my claims, he did not try to discredit me. Even so, it was clear he was getting exasperated with me. Quite understandably. Conclusion: Paperscraps is our town vigilante. While his shot on Jackal, in hindsight, could have cost us one of our best Day 3 analysts, he had good reasoning in his own mind to take it.
Bluelightz + Show Spoiler +This will be a short section. His first (only) useful post that came when he was not under attack was an analysis of a person I am convinced is town (Paperscraps). He never explained his reasoning for thinking Pandain was scummy. I could see Pandain as scum, I'll explain later, I can't explain now cuz I got school work tho. Oh, I forgot to tell I don't find Pandain scummy after I read his filter He claimed rgTS was third party, but also most likely to flip scum. rgTheSchworz - Leaning Third Party Maybe... Right now, I believe rgTS has the largest chance of being scum so I am voting him. His reaction to Misder's flip was... unbelievable? I.... I.... what happened His response to taking pressure was to roll over and die. I don't care If I get lynched, If Town wants to lynch me fine. Know that the mislynch is on you. I could go on... just read his filter. He finally shows up when he has 3 votes on him and is likely to be lynched. And even then it's to provide more excuses. Day 1, I voted for rgTheSchworz because I believed he had the highest chance of flipping so called "scum", I botched up the sentence for voting by saying "scum" and not "third party" like I suspected him to be.
I admit, I have been providing excuses for most of the time because im at school for most of the time of the day.
And, I start posting at this ridiculous time because I went like School -> Pick-Up Dad -> Pick-Up Mom -> Dinner at a restaurant -> now As I've stated before, based on this one game, I would happily lynch Bluelightz day 1 any other game if he turns out to be town. He has provided NOTHING of use. He has actively contributed to the thread to make it look like he is not lurking with fluff "I'm going to bed" posts. His redemption: Not voting for Adam when Adam was up for lynch. I don’t think that cuts it. Why? Because I don’t think Bluelightz cares who gets lynched, he’s probably an SK.
Probulous + Show Spoiler +Everyone else seems to agree on this at this point. I agree .
Pandain + Show Spoiler +There have been some really scummy things. First of all, he bandwagoned on the Sandroba vote after a pitiful attempt to save him. Makes a slip in calling Sandroba “scum” twice as opposed to the SK he thought he was. I don’t actually know if that’s a slip. Do we refer to all anti-town as scum, or just mafia? There's no reason to vote sandroba, he's not scum(no resistance at all)so that leaves either sk or town. Rather than vote him, we should merely track him. This will effectively negate any chance of him shooting again. I do believe he's sk but feel this is A better alternative as it encompasses all the reasons we would want to lynch sk without the risk of lynching town. We should use today instead as an opportunity to lynch scum. There is effectively no support for Sandroba. But again, this only indicates he's not scum, as they wouldn't just let him(and he wouldn't be so lethargic about getting lynched), die when theres a valid excuse.
But I'm not even denying that Sandroba is probably scum. The key fact is that by lynching him we effectively waste a day to either confirm what we already assumed(he's SK), or the fact that he's a vet(in which case we just lynched a town woopdie doo). If we make him unable to shoot for fear of getting caught, then we don't even have to worry about him harming town. By having tracker continuously track him, it wastes tracker time when he could be finding more scum Then, during the night of Night 2, he has 7 out of 8 posts that are just fluff. I think the most damning thing about Pandain’s play though, was on Day 3.First, he votes Paperscraps immediately after his blue claim without any logic put behind it at all. His only mention of Paperscraps before this was much earlier in the game when he claimed that he was town, basically for WIFOM reasons (can’t be mafia because they wouldn’t push the same person over and over, can’t be SK because they wouldn’t be that active). Then, without defending his reasoning, he disappears for nearly 2 full days, only to show up 6 hours before the deadline. At that point, he dismisses all the evidence that people have provided against Paper and makes a big fluff post with 2 pointless lists and an excuse for being gone for 24 hours that just DOES NOT match up with his post. Look at what he claims: Before I go on, I want everyone to remember that this is the work of 24 hours of constant lurking, re reading, re-re reading, going through each filter again and again, rereading thread in entirety, and even night time pondering. Does that make sense given that this is what follows: On March 09 2012 06:16 Pandain wrote:I don't believe Paperscraps. I feel people are beliving he is town merely because he claimed vig. Everyone seems to have forgotten this role.... Show nested quote +On February 25 2012 12:25 Mr. Wiggles wrote:
Vigilante: You are a Vigilante! Once per game, starting night 1, you may send in a night hit.
This doesn't mean its scum, but it does make us remember that there are now three possibilities for Paperscraps to be: 1. Serial killer.2. Mafia Vigilante 3. Vigilante Him claiming vigilante in no way makes him town. Rather, we must analyze two things in determining his alignment: 1. His reasoning/motivation behind shooting Jackal 2. His posts/votes this game(Normal Analysis) I'll be posting more once I make sense of everything..... No. It is completely incongruent. After Toast calls him out on this post, he shows up over 2 hours later with his justifications which boil down to calling out Paperscraps on a bunch of things he himself is guilty of. Conclusion: Scum. Oh this is great, I wrote this up about 7 hours before the lynch but he keeps talking. My read on Adam was uncertain. I was uncertain about everyone until i looked at it for like 36 hours, which you guys are like omg lurking. Then im like omg paper is wtf There’s no way you can be certain if you don’t have all the facts! This is so scum. Town would admit that there is a gap in their knowledge but Pandain refuses to admit when he could be wrong.
TheToast + Show Spoiler +Everyone else seems to agree on this at this point. I agree .
A Killer Cuppa Tea + Show Spoiler + Really tough to get a read on this guy. When he does post, I feel he explains his actions very well. Unfortunately, he doesn’t post a lot. His excuses have been a laptop dying and a mild concussion. I don’t think there’s enough evidence either way as to whether he is scum or town.
He says that hopefully once he gets home he’ll be able to contribute. That’d be nice.
deconduo + Show Spoiler +Really doesn’t have a lot of substance posts this game. Has proven in the past that he’s not afraid to bus a scum buddy night 1, bussing Sandroba would probably be just as easy if not easier on night 2 so I can’t see how that could be evidence for him being town. See decon vs. Annul in TL Mafia 37: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191888¤tpage=25#490Hops on Adam’s bandwagon after reiterating points that have already been made, but what else was there to say about Adam at that point? Doesn’t really say whether he’s mafia or not. Conclusion: I’m leaning scum on him. There just hasn’t been much substance, but he has been trying to make himself look active.
Conclusions + Show Spoiler + I’d be happy lynching Pandain today. I think Bluelightz is a possible SK candidate given that pretty much everyone has tried to lynch him at one point or another but he’s still around not contributing. When Pandain flips red, until further evidence is provided, I would be happy with either a deconduo or AKCT lynch, preference being given to lynching deconduo.
And most importantly + Show Spoiler +A very special thank you to Probulous Whether you’re town or scum, you still think I'm semi competent and helped me get my points through unblocked. Thanks man.

One thing I'm curious about is this: TheToast tunneled Pandain the entire game until he flipped town. It doesn't seem like something scum would do because it immediately casts them in suspicion when that person flips.
How often does scum do that?
