hahahahahahahaah. Why do you think that Mattchew should be closer to town than scum? Same thing with Palmar?

Yes, I'm getting the feeling that Palmar could be scum. He came in, and acted like town Palmar would, but then he didn't actually proceed to push any lynches or scum reads in the thread. Instead, he got a whole bunch of people to PM him and roleclaim. Also worrying to me, is that Pandain PMed me before he replaced out, and since Palmar has replaced in, he has not tried to talk to me besides asking me to roleclaim twice. Meanwhile, in the thread, he's said that he's talked extensively with Mattchew and VE, as well as Caller. It seems weird to me especially when he says he's on the fence about me, as talking to me would be a good way to determine my alignment. I might just be paranoid, but it could be that he's afraid I'll peg him as scum if we talk, because I've done it twice before when he was third party/traitor, one of those being a PM game where we talked a fair bit, and once in a game where he was scum. I'm keeping my eye on him, anyways, and if he's telling the truth about killing Jackal, and Jackal flips town, he should be shot on night 2, I'd think.

Mattchew, I feel has just not actually been contributing much to the game, while posting in a way that makes him look like he's doing stuff. Last time I read his filter, it was all commentary on what was happening, or one liners calling someone out without any follow-up.

[quote]Original Message From Mr. Wiggles:
I think he's one of the best bets for this lynch. He hasn't actually defended the accusations of faking his action PM, either. I don't see why the mods would write it like that, and if they did, I consider it border-line bastard modding, especially in a normal game, and if not everyone's PMs are phrased that way. Using mod PMs to look at someone is normally bad, or not allowed in the case of role PMs, but it's also normal, in a way, as faking a role requires faking the mechanics, and it becomes a way to tell if someone's lying. It means that scum can't completely fake roles and not be called out on it for how they word it, or make it. It's like if I claimed to be a Bullet-Proof townie, and said my role PM was the first act of Hamlet. If people can start doing that, it will change the way mechanics surrounding blues work, and how they're dealt with in the thread.

So basically, if his PM was actually worded that way, it means the mods worded it that way, to make sure that if Kurumi shared it with anyone, they would think he is lying, which is a shitty thing to do, because then you're actively interfering with and influencing the game as it goes on as the mod, as roleclaims are part of the game.

So why were you doubting about Kurumi being scum?

No name=layabout
Jesse Huard= Mr. wiggels
[13/03/2012 22:00:52] No name: hello
[13/03/2012 22:01:06] Jesse Huard: hey
[13/03/2012 22:01:33] No name: any scumreads? i am stumped
[13/03/2012 22:02:04] Jesse Huard: I"m debating about prpl/caller
[13/03/2012 22:02:17] Jesse Huard: and then node/decon are afk, which is always scummy of them
[13/03/2012 22:02:32] No name: has decon done anything?
[13/03/2012 22:02:44] No name: other than tell me that sometimes its okay to kill town
[13/03/2012 22:03:00] Jesse Huard: he voted for caller in the thread, and not the voting one
[13/03/2012 22:03:48] No name: i thought caller looked likely town
[13/03/2012 22:04:16] Jesse Huard: for what reasons?
[13/03/2012 22:04:20] No name: but i am unsure why people feel he looks scummy
[13/03/2012 22:04:26] No name: towards the start
[13/03/2012 22:04:37] No name: he was trying to direct discussion towards the lynch
[13/03/2012 22:04:49] No name: the DocH thing was a bit strange
[13/03/2012 22:05:15] No name: but given that "Kaller game" is named after him i expected him to do something weird
[13/03/2012 22:05:53] No name: though i would to skim some of his old games before making that kind a meta judgement
[13/03/2012 22:06:24] Jesse Huard: Well, what looks weird to me, isn't really that he made a case on Jackal, or the weird DrH accusation, but more what happened afterwards
[13/03/2012 22:06:42] No name: he went quiet?
[13/03/2012 22:06:45] Jesse Huard: Instead of actually pushing for the jackal lynch, he spent all his time calling VE scum
[13/03/2012 22:07:01] Jesse Huard: and saying that if jackal flips town, we lynch VE the next day
[13/03/2012 22:07:14] No name: without a good reason for saying so
[13/03/2012 22:07:24] Jesse Huard: Why wouldn't you try to ensure your first suspect is actually lynched?
[13/03/2012 22:07:53] Jesse Huard: Then, why do you reveal the stuff about VE, when it would be much more powerful all at once, and if it depends on the flip, after you see the flip
[13/03/2012 22:08:36] Jesse Huard: Also, the stuff he says, is pretty contradictory
[13/03/2012 22:09:09] Jesse Huard: He calls VE out for what he sees as trying to set himself up to look good no matter what the flip is, while he does the same thing himself
[13/03/2012 22:09:36] Jesse Huard: also, it's kind've weird, because if he was mafia, he should know what the flip is, so I don't get what he's saying, in a way
[13/03/2012 22:10:00] Jesse Huard: if VE was mafia, he should know what the flip is, so why would he set himself up to look good both ways, according to caller*
[13/03/2012 22:11:32] No name: plus the "thank you prplhz stuff" read like nonsense
[13/03/2012 22:12:04] Jesse Huard: yeah, I can't tell yet, whether he's actually scum, or just throwing crap around, though
[13/03/2012 22:14:01] No name: It's seems a little odd
[13/03/2012 22:14:46] No name: that most of his accusations against Jackal were based upon him criticising his own bad reasoning and suggesting "a plan"
[13/03/2012 22:15:48] No name: when Jackal probably is the role he claimed and he managed to start a discussion that was not all that bad
[13/03/2012 22:16:12] No name: and i think that was all he intended to do when he said we should announce PM's
[13/03/2012 22:16:57] Jesse Huard: yeah
[13/03/2012 22:17:03] Jesse Huard: Also, the idea had some merits
[13/03/2012 22:17:42] Jesse Huard: Well, I'm going to go do some homework, now, I'll be back later. If you want to write stuff to me, I'll read it when I get back
[13/03/2012 22:17:51] No name: cool
[13/03/2012 22:21:08] No name: Now in my experience "scumslips" are not very common so when caller says he found one in this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=13896263 , i think that he is trying to make people doubt VE whilst making himself look useful
[13/03/2012 22:23:00] No name: In spite of all of the accusations leveled against Jitsu and in spite of my argument with him i believe he has town's interest in mind when he is posting
[13/03/2012 22:24:03] No name: his vote for prp is terrible
[13/03/2012 22:25:20] No name: I am in contact with Bill Murray,we have not said much due to crappy timezones
[13/03/2012 22:31:36] No name: Jaybrundage: when i read this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=13887349 i thought like Jay showed that his actions make more sense from a town persctive than scum one
[13/03/2012 22:34:20] No name: i do not see why mafia would defend themself by saying that basically all they have done so far had been to fish for reactions
[13/03/2012 22:36:38] No name: when he says " I say i do agree with lynching liars and Lurkers. However i suggest we use them as guidelines. " i he is making a mute point, that he did not need to make in the first place and that he didn't need to emphasise
[13/03/2012 22:37:05] No name: I also think its strange that Jaybrundage says he thinks Kurumi would be the traitor, since I find it very difficult to figure out Kurumi's motivations for posting and he is not always serious.
[13/03/2012 22:37:38] No name: I do not see why you would be speculating about the traitor like that as town
[13/03/2012 22:39:25] No name: So Wiggles, when you are looking for scum do you differentiate between scum and traitors? and if you think a player is one of the two and you want to lynch them, wouldn't you call them scum rather than traitor as that is more likely to sway people to lynch them?
[14/03/2012 02:20:07] Jesse Huard: When I look for scum, the first thing I do is just look for them acting scummily. If it's a game with multiple factions, i.e. 2 mafia families, sk and mafia, mafia and traitors, I might try to differentiate between them, especially if my read relies on associative tells
[14/03/2012 02:21:01] Jesse Huard: If I had a choice between scum and traitor, and if the traitor wasn't called out as a traitor, I'd lynch the scum. Th e thing is, you can't be 100% sure, so if you think they're scum, you lynch them no matter if they might be traitor or normal mafia
[14/03/2012 02:21:52] Jesse Huard: I'd probably just call them scum, but I think that's more of a personal choice, as people don't always follow optimal play, and it might just be an oversight
[14/03/2012 02:22:27] Jesse Huard: personally, if I was the traitor, it seems pretty hard to actually get added to the scum team, so what I'd do instead, is just try to cause as much chaos in the town as I could
[14/03/2012 02:23:25] Jesse Huard: this doesn't neccessarily mean act like Kurumi is, but it could be something like push a bunch of cases I know are wrong, to waste town's time, and push bad cases, or oppose things, and make stuff difficult. Basically, act as anti-town as I could, while passing it off as bad play, and avoid the lynch

I just realised that i am going to be busy tomorrow, which sucks

because some derps actually thought kurumi might be town, i mean can you believe it? i know right?

I am also wondering how reliable that spreadsheet is

Or
There was a town vig that shot mattchew or sandroba (which is unlikely).

Or
Mafia have a role such as a poisoner which has given them an extra KP (which is silly)

Or
Mattchew or sandroba was some kind of weak doctor/hider
