All right, /confrim.

Sorry I've been gone for the last day. The time I can spend in the thread is going to be limited for the next couple of days. After the 25th, I should be back to full steam.

Now to find some scum. Only got 12 pages to go through. Shouldn't be too hard.

4F doesn't deserve to die in any game. That guy was a genius at finding scum, he just didn't know it.

VE is probably scum. Accusing gonzaw of a scumslip is just terribad, and someone of his experience should know better. Also, the idea of a JK working against the town is such a fashion is WTF bad. If he was a noob, I would give him a pass, but he's not. He should know better than that.

Sentinel obviously rolled scum this game. His filter has nothing of content, and when layabout called him out, it took him 15 minutes to unlurk, at which point he added nothing to the conversation. He's here, but not contributing at all. I think he would make an excellent Day 1 lynch.

@paqman: I have you down as an idiot (sorry). You're not paying close attention to the thread and not thinking through what you say. I'm not ready to say town or scum, and I don't like making cases for or against players when I think there is scum that we should be frying.

Mattchew has nothing of content in his filter, and I don't have anything substantial in my notes on him. It will be interesting to see if that improves as we get further into the game.

@gonzaw: I think a town should be focused in what they do, so I don't like throwing votes around all over the place. If I had to vote for one of them right now, I would vote sentinel over VE. My only reservations about voting VE at the moment is that I think he should play a better scum game, but I can see his scumslip case as something he was hoping other townies would catch on to and run with.

@paq: Why do you care so much what I think about you? I'm not going to try and lynch you today, and I don't think that your alignment says anything about Mattchew.

@marv: I agree with gonzaw. Stop giving us excuses and help us find scum. Pending the results of his usefulness, I think I'm not disinclined to lynching Marv today.

@paqman: I really don't understand why I have to waste my time responding to this, but here it goes.

That note stems directly from your "There can't be more than 3 vigs" comment. Apparently, it's because you were paying attention to something else. Okay, that's fine, whatever. Why do you keep bringing this up? Who cares? Stop watching TV while posting, and find scum. As a town, we have better things to do than discuss why you did something dumb.

@paqman: This is how I contribute. I find scum, I tell people they are scum, and I beat them to a pulp when they respond to me thinking they are scum. If Sentinel bothered to poke his head in the thread, I'd be beating the crap out of him at the moment. See TLM LI.

@gonzaw: I don't like everyone voting all over the place, but I can see exactly what you're saying, so I'm going to
##vote [UoN]Sentinel
because I think he's playing the scummiest at the moment. (This me not liking to vote is really something I need to get out of my usual play.) VE's disappearance from should be noted.

As far as this change of heart, I don't see it as a change of heart. Not all bad play is scummy play. What I was trying to get across there is that I think that Sentinel is the better lynch out of the two of them.

@johnny: I hate writing up cases against people. I pointed it out that I think he's scummy here. I think big posts are a waste of time and space, but that's probably why no one listens to me in these games.

brb, writing up a big poast.

I don't like this post. It reading this post out of context implies that everyone has already come to the conclusion that gonzaw is mafia, when that isn't at all what's happening in the thread. Up to this point, VE is the only person who's pushed this idea at all. IMO, this is him hedging his bets. I can see him allowing a gonzaw lynch, gonzaw flips green, and him saying "Called it! I'm townie!"

In addition, this is not how you discuss another posters post. Just saying "I don't agree" is not the least bit helpful to the town.

Let's do it like this - everyone just do whatever the fuck they want as long as it's beneficial in some way to town. If it's not beneficial in some way to town, then lynch them. If there's one thing I know, it's that voting/lynching/etc. plans always benefit mafia because they can pull them to their advantage (and also you get lynched when your plan especially sucks).

Keeping in mind with this train of thought, I will proceed to do whatever the fuck I want as long as it's beneficial in some way to town. When I get back, I'll read filters and try and put more on the table.

At this point, Sentinel has had plenty of time to contribute something, anything, to this town, and he has not. I believe that this is not because he is busy, but because he's scum.

Ghost's response to sloosh's case on VE.

+ Show Spoiler +
You guys are really cutting into my internet spaceships time.+ Show Spoiler +
Join the Hatchery!


Point 1) I totally agree with sloosh's point here. VE's idea that a JK would work against a claimed vig is just stupid, and one of the first things he said that made me think that he was scum.

Point 2) I thought his scumslip argument was stupid. Said that already.

Point 3) Yeah, I agree with that. VE avoided discussing most of his counterarguments.

Point 4) I agree with this.

Well, I'm sold. I'm happy with a VE lynch. VE today, Sentinel tomorrow?

BONUS: Hey! Sentinel decided to join us!

No, this is called "Disregard bandwagon, acquire opinions." I wanted my question answered, and thus I asked the question. Also I have a penchant for making acidic posts like that one. If you don't like it, I'm doing my job right.


My problem is there wasn't a bandwagon. You make it sound like the entire town has gonzaw up on the gallows, when really it's just VE standing in the center of the town screaming that gonzaw is scum.

Also, that wasn't a question. This is you making a statement, trying to look like you're contributing. Tell me, did you get your quesiton answered?

You actually came closer in your sentiments to "I don't agree" than I did. I addressed one of his things and showed why I don't agree with it as if I were scum.

Yes. I have a vote, and thus I must decide how to use that vote well. I'd rather have anarchy than offering up precious resources (vigilantes) onto the sacrificial table to find who's godfather and who isn't. Invisible Hand Principle - when people act in their self-interest, as long as they're not stupid about it, it benefits others as well. Individual ambition benefits society, or in this case the town.


Just no. Towns work together or they lose.

I think a BM lynch is a terrible idea (vig shout would be fine though). I don't think I've ever seen a case where a ninja vote was due to someone being scum. There's too much risk and no reward for scum in this situation. I think he's just insane.

I really don't like the fact that Sentinel immediately jumped on the lynch BM bandwagon. Trying to lynch insane players is scummy in my book. Same goes for you Mattchew. Why would scum even try to ninja vote? It makes way more sense to sheep instead. No one would have thought twice if BM had shown up in thread and said "lol VE scum ##vote VE".

VE's claim is bad. He's doing the same thing that he did in TLM LI in claiming when there's no reason to. I can't imagine scum VE doing the same thing twice, but now we're into WIFOM territory. In addition, JK is the only nonconfirmable role in the game. A vig shot shows up in the day post, and a tracker can confirm where someone went that night. It only makes sense that scum VE would claim JK.

@mattchew: This is my first game playing with BM. I don't know his meta well enough to know if ninja voting is something scum BM would do or not, but I do know this: there's no reason for scum to ninja vote almost a full day before the deadline. If he had voted five minutes before the night post, I would hold him accountable for it. But, a full day? That's not scummy, that's insane. I lynch people for scummy play, not insane play.

@paqman: I'm still where I'm at last night: VE or Sentinel. Sentinel has only become more scummy in my book for jumping on the BM bandwagon like there's no tomorrow, and immediately voting against the person who called you out for lurking is a classic chainsaw defense. I still have no idea what VE is doing, and I don't see a good reason to buy his JK claim. It doesn't make sense to claim so far before the lynch.

My bad. That knocks him into second place in my list of people I think are scummy. When I have more time, I'll look back into the Sentinel == scum thing. Working on a Linear Algebra problem at the moment. brb

@mattchew: But hes cahrazy, don't vote him.

Bill Murray is playing a game that's insane, but he's doing it over there and leaving the town alone. VE is playing a game that's insane, but he's doing it in such a way that the town cannot function efficiently. Disruptive insane play is far more lynch worthy than weird incomprehensible im-gonna-do-whatever-the-fuck-i-want play.

@paqman: If a vig shoots BM and he doesn't die, it makes sense that the vig would claim it in thread. A jail keeper would be forced to admit to jailing BM in thread, but I can't see that happening. If the vig claim is true, we lynch BM and he flips GF. If it's not, BM flips town, and the next day we lynch the counterclaiming scum. Win-win.

@johnnywup: I have no idea why you thought a few hours before the lynch was a good time to bring forward another lynch candidate. Seriously?

I'm not really seeing why Risen is scum. Sure, he's loud, obnoxious and belligerent, but that doesn't say anything about his alignment.

I'm still pretty happy with a VE lynch. I thought he was scum before he claimed, and I don't buy his claim. Even if his claim is true, he's functioning in an anti-town manner. Also, I'm surprised that no one has brought up the point that he's pretty much ragequit.

Marvellosity is still posting nothing of content. I'd be down with that lynch.

Do we take the case against him seriously? Do we try and organize everyone to swap their votes over to zeph even though no one else has mentioned zeph as a serious candidate thus far? We can't do that, we don't have the time.

I know I was against it before, but I don't see how marvel could be pushing a lynch on VE right now. We can't lynch our claimed JK. It's been stated in the thread but I'll state it again. You don't lynch a claimed doctor, and we shouldn't lynch the closest thing we have to a doctor. Is it possible VE is lying? Yup. He might be lying and be a vigi, or a tracker, or scum, or vanilla. Doesn't matter. The only shitty thing is that the person who is jailed doesn't know they were jailed, so I don't know how to confirm his claim.

Regardless, a vote on VE is stupid. It's just like everyone who voted for me when I claimed a guaranteed sane detective with a red check. Only an idiot would vote for said blue unless it was LYLO. It's applicable here. We can't lynch someone who claims such a powerful blue role right now. Is it a shitty claim? Yeah. I don't think it was smart, but we have to roll with it now that it's in the open. Any trackers watch him, I guess.

I'm voting marvel. Pre-EBWOP I just looked at the voting thread prior to hitting post. What the hell is going on? How can you lynch a claimed blue? This is so stupid. If need be I'll vote BM b/c I'm all for lynching someone who's being useless, but for now my vote is resting on marvel.

I'll be traveling for the rest of the day, more or less. I'm going to try to get on while I've got some downtime inbetween flights, but no promises. Hopefully, I can be on for a bit tonight.

@mementoss: I made my position very clear on my vote. If I had believed my vote was necessary to achieve a VE lynch, i would have switched. Accusing me of trying to spoil a lynch that was a sure thing is disingenuous.

Marv. Please flip town. Plzplzplzplzplzplz.

Time to catch up on the thread. brb

FYI, my plan for catching up on the thread means reading to everything past the night post, then returning through the events of Day 1. Probably going to take a while, but I'm not going to bed until I post something constructive. I'm a bawse like that.

Haha, chainsaw defense. I've been giving Ottoxlol a noob pass since Day 1, but perhaps BJ is right. I'd be down with a Ottoxlol lynch.

The other thing that I don't like about Ottoxlol is the fact that he's not hunting scum at all. If you take a look through his filter, his suggestions for lynches are all lurkers. There's 50 pages in this thread, and he can't find any scum who are posting? I assumed it was due to the fact that he's a newb, but newbs roll scum too.

@ottoxlol: If you don't want me to try and get you lynched today, start hunting some scum. You want to suggest someone who isn't lurking and/or insane?

What is the point keeping your vote on someone who is not going to get lynched? It is the same as having no vote, cause you actions have no influence on who is going to get voted out. Its a very anti-town thing to do imo. I would say anyone that was around not voting Marv BM Risen or VE, at the end of the day wasted their vote. As a result, scums 4 votes became ever more powerful in taking a blue away from us.

At the end of the day if you weren't convinced VE was scum per sae, would it not have been better to lynch someone who was vanilla rather than someone who was JK? Cause if VE wasn't red he was blue.


At the end of the day, I voted to lynch scum. (Bonus! Sentinel has done nothing to change my opinion of him thus far.)

As I said before, I would have changed my actions if there was a chance of my vote effecting (or is it affecting? lolidk) the outcome, I would have switched. I thought VE was scum, and I acted on that by choosing not to change my vote and push for someone else.

I don't really see what the problem is.

Another thing that I was going to note last night was the fact that Sentinel has been lurking like a bawse through this whole game. If you take a look at what he wrote last night, he more or less claimed that he was onboard the VE lynch, and that's it. Sentinel is afraid of posting in this thread, because he's afraid he'll do something to out his scumbuddies. I thought he was scum yesterday, our townie friend sloosh thought he was scum before Sentinel killed him, and I think we should be lynching him today. I'm guessing that he rolled goon, which is why he's so afraid to get caught. Scum KP should drop to 1 after we lynch Sentinel.




Let's look at Sentinel's posts from last night!

Poast 1

"I was totally onboard for the VE lynch before VE was". Who cares? What does this add to the thread? How does this help us hunt scum? MG's idea that the scum voted to lynch VE before the townies is flawed to begin with, and now he somehow wants more credit for it?

Wait... how the hell do you brand Risen green because of "town meta"? I think his aggressive-defensive bipolarity kinda ruined that aspect. If anything makes him green is that he backed VE till the end.


Scum love making townie reads, because it saves them the trouble of scum hunting. You have nothing to say about the fact that Mattchew thinks you're scum? I'd be pissed if I ended up red on that list.

There's no reason for a townie to have this little content in the game. One post with a decent thought is all I ask for. Just one. One post where I can look back and agree or disagree with what you have to say. Instead, this. Nothing of content. The lack of content from Sentinel is due to the fact that's he's terrified of being caught.

That's 'cause Sentinel rolled scum.

StDaniel is en route to being modkilled. If he comes back and does nothing, I will discuss him as a possible lynch candidate. Since he's not even playing, there's no point in pushing for his lynch.

@marv: Ottoxlol's posting history shows him posting outside the TLMafia subforum, so I'm leaning newbie on him. However, some of the stuff that I've seen him do in thread has made me think he's "newbie scum" as opposed to "newbie town". BJ's (lol) case addresses some of that. I really need to work on reading newbie towns, so that is something I think I would like to work on.

@ottoxlol: You're under attack for not making any cases or trying to lynch lurkers because that's what scum do. Townies need to lynch scum, scum need to waste time. Not making cases and pushing to lynch lurkers is the best way for scum to do that. Newbies often do the same thing, which is the only reason I haven't tried to put you on the gallows quite yet. But, Mementoss is right: it's getting harder to give you a pass for being a noob.

I think I've got enough time to respond to your previous post now. I'll post that in a minute.

I havent finished reading everything, but so far I had an idea
I thought I will write down the VE voters relationships maybe we can figure something out.

Sentinel attacked BM
Ottox did not attack anyone from this grp
marv attacked Zeph
BM defending Zeph and marv
laya attacking marv, defending zeph
Zeph attacking BM, and marv

I think this will not make a strong read, but I try

If Sentinel is scummy, we should investigate Zeph and vice versa
If laya is scummy we should investigate Zeph and vice versa
If marv is scummy we should investigate BM and vice versa
.

So my read is there are 0 or 2 scums in the VE voter group, maybe we can use this later


This says absolutely nothing. This is Ottoxlol trying to push people who were on the VE wagon with some unhelpful WIFOM. Paying close attention to this post, you'll realize he doesn't actually push anyone as scum. This is unhelpful shitty dick play. This is scum play that he set up D1. This is Ottoxlol trying to pool the proverbial wool over the town's eyes by trying to appear helpful.

[...]


You're recapping what happened the previous day in an effort to post something of content. It's not. We're playing the game, we know what happened, we don't need you to tell us this. Instead, we need you to post stuff that we don't already know, like who you think is scum and why.

Your response to this:


I wrote that I don't have a good read that's why i did not push. I started to look into the names that came up and I felt none of them was convincing so I made a post that maybe can help others. How is that anti-town?


It's useless. Lists of what happened are useless. Being useless is anti-town. That's why it's anti-town. We need you scumhunting, and that's not what you're doing.

It's very easy to understand how a new player would make this mistake, and again, that's why I haven't pushed you onto the gallows yet. But, as we're continuing to play, it's obvious that you're still not contributing, and it's getting harder for me to distinguish between newbie town and newbie scum. I'm pretty sure someone wrote a guide on this exact thing somewhere, and I fully intend to bring it up when I get a chance.

So everyone else is scum? Or we don't have any reads because no one is suspicious enough? Thats why everyone thinking on lynching lurkers or me.


Not everyone has pushed no reads. We're not talking about just today, we're talking about the course of the entire game. You really haven't pushed anything the whole game (Asserted WithOut Proof - AWOP). So, no. I don't think they are all scum. Just the ones who post nothing while trying to look useful.

Guys. Guys. Guys.

Guys.

Risen claimed scum in thread.

There's no need for WIFOM about why he screws up the vote and ended Day 2 with us lynching a townie. The fact of the matter is he screws up the vote and ended Day 2 with us lynching a townie. That's the only thing that's important.

I believe that the scum chose to do this in order to protect their KP. Risen rolled GF, Ottoxlol rolled scum. It makes sense that they would sacrifice Risen in order to protect their KP for one more night.

Let's step back again away from all of the WIFOM and take a look at what happened yesterday again:

1) Town thinks Ottoxlol is scummy and moves to lynch him.
2) Town is ready to lynch Ottoxlol right up to the deadline.
3) Risen's vote stops us from lynching Ottoxlol.

There is no reason for a town Risen to do this. Period. Therefore, Risen must be scum.

The path ahead of us is clear. If you're a JK/Tracker, actions on Ottoxlol tonight. If you're a vig, shoot Risen tonight.

@Ottoxlol: No. Risen is not townie due to the fact that he screwed up the vote last night by swapping around his vote. He is scum due to the fact that he scewed up his vote last night by swapping around his vote. His vote minutes before the deadline got a townie lynched. He is scum.

@mattchew: Yes I am. That's because I think Ottoxlol is scum. I've made my position clear on that, and nothing has happened since then that would make me reconsider my position. In fact, the fact that we were so close to lynching him, and mislynched a townie instead makes me even more sure of that position. My position on Ottoxlol makes what happened last night make sense.

@Ottoxlol: Easy. You're not a townie.

@Marv: They didn't, which necessitated drastic measures. WIFOM warning: Perhaps they were preparing to let the town lynch Otto, and wanted to buy some townie credit through the exchange. Later on in the day, the Zeph movement picked up steam, allowing them the option of sacking Risen for Otto.

@johnny: There is a lot better chance of Risen arguing his way out of the lynch as "I'm a stupid townie" than "I voted in such a way that a townie was lynched". Makes sense to me. Also, you're ignoring the fact that there's no reason for a townie to do something so foolish as to switch his vote back after his vote caused a lynch. That's something scum would do.

These votes were what ended the day with a mislynch. Without Risen's actions, we would have ended the day with the lynch of Ottoxlol. Is Ottoxlol scum? We don't know for sure yet. The only way to confirm anyone in this game is to make them flip. The hosts will tell us the truth.

What we do know is this: Zephridd was not scum, and Risen's actions proved this to be true.

Why did Risen ultimately do this? Well, there are four possible scenarios which we need to cover before we can answer this question. In this game, there are four possible alignment combinations for Risen and Ottoxlol.
  1. Risen is scum, Ottoxlol is scum.
  2. Risen is scum, Ottoxlol is town.
  3. Risen is town, Ottoxlol is scum.
  4. Risen is town, Ottoxlol is town.


(1) makes the most sense to me. A scum forced a mislynch in order to save his scum buddy. The only way that this would make sense is if Ottoxlol is a goon and Risen is not. The scum would in this case be trading Risen for a KP for another night. It's a good trade on their part. If they are good about it, maybe they can even convince the town that Risen just did something stupid. There are four of them left in a town of 13. Just might work out.

(2) is just plain stupid. Risen would be jepordizing himself in order to gain, what, an extra mislynch? Day 2 mislynches Zephridd, Day 3 lynches Risen, Day 4 mislynches Ottoxlol? That's a bad plan that goes against their wincon. No, this isn't the case.

(3) and (4) both can be covered by the same logic. Town Risen might risk his neck swapping from one candidate to another, but why back? Does Risen not know the vote count, that a switch to Zephridd would seal his fate? Risen has a last minute change of heart, and regrets his decision? Unlikely. A townie in this situation would cast his vote, then return to the town saying "You're as much to blame for this as me." It did take a town to lynch Zephridd. So why not own it? Why the switch back? The only answer that you can arrive at to understand that is "Risen is bad."

So there you have it, folks. There are two possible explanations for what happened last night. Either Risen is scum, or Risen is bad. I believe Risen has played enough games for me to know that he's not terrible at this game. He knows what's going on, and I believe that last night he played to his wincon perfectly. It's just not the same as ours.

I believe that (1) is what happened last night, and that's why I voted to lynch Ottoxlol today.

But ghost! How did the scum get themselves into this position? Why did Risen sack himself? Why don't you care what he did before he voted to lynch Zephridd?

To answer you: Don't know, don't care. What I know is this. There is no reason for a town Risen to do what he did other than he's terrible. I don't think Risen is terrible. Ask the scum how it ended up happening after the game. Right now, there's one thing I'm doing, and one thing you should be doing:

@marv: I clearly state there are two positions. Either Risen is bad/emotional/whatever, or Risen is scum. I'm saying the second one of those is the better conclusion.

My conclusion is better because it doesn't rely on a player being terrible in order to explain what happened yesterday. Sorry I can't find any quotes where he says "I'm scum, lynch me". Know why that is? It's because he's not terrible.

@ottoxlol: It's not that I'm not willing to discuss, it's that I'm not willing to discuss with you. I don't waste my time discussing anything with scum.

If anyone thinks what Ottoxlol said about me has any merit, bring it up and I'd be happy to talk about it.

At no point did anyone write:
But ghost! Why do you think Ottoxlol is scum?


I'm glad you asked.

This post ended up orders of magnitudes longer than I intended. I have no idea how Ottoxlol has gotten away with being so scummy in this game for so long. Spoilers for your convenience and easy referencing.

(1) His content is almost completely filler.
+ Show Spoiler +
First of all, I would like to address the glaring fact that his filter has nothing of content in it. 7 pages. 7 pages, and I have almost nothing to say about them. They are mostly one liners and him giving excuses for everything that he does. It would be so much easier to prove that he was scum if he would just do something, anything. Unfortunately for him, at this point his lack of content now paints him as scum. 7 pages, and no content? Scum trying to pass off as useful without actually helping the town.


(2) He almost completely ignores St.Daniels throughout the entire game.
+ Show Spoiler +
It's interesting that now he claims that I soft defended StDaniels. It's the fourth time this game he's mentioned him. When were the first three?
  1. [Day 1] St.Daniel one post, + Show Spoiler + Loved that part, i feel like only scum would have drawn that way, if VE and [UoN]Sentinel can defend themselves I will vote him.
  2. [Day 2] Lot of people suggested Sent/Zeph, marv posted about Brood and St. Daniel.
  3. [Day 2] BK started posting some weird stuff, hes voting St. Daniel for ninjavoting, but BM ninjavoted d1 too and he did not mention it at all.


I'm soft defending him by stating that I'm ignoring someone en route to being modkilled? No, I'm not going to even discuss someone who's not playing. It's a waste of time. What's your excuse for ignoring him literally the entire game?


(3) He makes stupidly scummy posts.

Ok, post it when you got it drawn. I feel like the pressure is on me because I did not make any useful post d2, and i feel its really unfair when no one really did so.

I am thinking on the line of who should we lynch that gives us info. VE wagon seemed like a good start to look at, I made 3 pairs who seems to defend each other/attack the same persons. If we lynch anyone from that we can get information about the other half of the pair.


This post is so scummy that any veteran player would have been immediately lynched. I was pretty happy to give him the n00b pass, but I don't think that's a good idea. In this post,
  • he gives himself an excuse for not contributing to the town
  • claims that everyone else in the town is useless
  • advocates lynching into the VE bandwagon "for information" without indicating who on the bandwagon is scummy
  • claims that lynching one half of a pair will somehow magically reveal the alignment of the other half

How gloriously scummy.

Your unwillingness to actually put your vote where your voice is very suspicious, and I think that you're trying to gently push for a bandwagon without actually committing. This behavior is just like zeph's list earlier, which is why I'm of the opinion that you're bussing him.


I missed this case before, I think a couple of ppl too because no one really talked about this. I am feeling confident voting for johnny.

You think Johnny is kinda sorta maybe sheeping because he doesn't give out any strong reads one way or the other (which is, ironically, the same thing that you're doing), and therefore he's scum. So what made you change your mind?

This segues nicely into my next problem with Ottoxlol: His voting patterns.

  • Day 1: VisceraEyes
  • Day 2: Zephridd
  • Day 3: MidnightGladius


But why he voted the way he did was much more interesting.

His reasons for voting VE have been beaten to death, so I'm not going to discuss it too much here.

For voting Zeph:

The Risen case is weak in my opinion, I can understand that points 1 and 4 can be suspicious but 2-3 doesnt seem scummy to me. He tried to defend VE, but not with the best tools, he tried to defend himself but not with the best tools.


But wait! That doesn't say anything about why he's voting Zeph! You are an astute reader! I can't find it. Ottoxlol has no reason to vote Zeph, other than to sheep with the town.

That said, mislynching me will cost us the game. You're just going to have to trust me. The fact that a bunch of townies have been pushing for me is disheartening, but I'm sure that you will find scum trying to hammer me today.


I have no idea why would anyone trust you because you say so. Excuses also doesnt help the scumhunt, I think no one cares about food poisoning or cat funerals.

BK started posting some weird stuff, hes voting St. Daniel for ninjavoting, but BM ninjavoted d1 too and he did not mention it at all.
ghost and Sentinel doesnt want to engage in the debate of other possibilities then I am a scum. no one can be 100% sure so the discussion must be on even if they vote me, so when I flip green we will have information


Another sheeping! "Here's someone else's case I found moderately compelling, and here's something that is kinda scummy." Well, MG flipped green and he's right. We found scum pushing for his lynch today.


Frankly, it's embarassing that the town has let Ottoxlol live this long in the game. As soon as tomorrow hits, I'm voting to lynch him for the third day in a row, and I hope this time, we can get a sucessful lynch and get this scum out of the game.

I buy Sentinel's claim, lest someone else would like to counterclaim. Too bad, I was sure ottoxlol was a goon. This means I have to reconsider the whole Risen conspiracy

It was such an elegant plan.

Okay, so let's see what terrible things people have been saying about me.

For reference, the case by johnnywup and the case by BroodKingEXE.

Johnny's case against me boils down to four points.
  1. Soft defending BM and attacking VE
  2. Kinda-sorta-almost-not really flipflopping on Risen
  3. Bad case on Sentinel
  4. Claiming I'm bussing Ottoxlol

All of these points are easily addressed.
  1. I have a history of defending insane players. (For reference, Aperture mafia and TL LI, soon to be added to my profile. Gotta use that thing for something.) Insane players are statistically not scum, and I see people who push for lynching insane players as scummy. They make the perfect target for the scum to push a mislynch. The perfect example of this is Zealos in TL LI. On Day 2, I asked him who he wanted to lynch. His reply was Kenpachi because he's nuts. That's not scum hunting, and a huge tell that he's not actually looking for scum. (Zealos ended up flipping scum.) However, I almost always advocate vig'ing these players. They are not helping the town, and area huge liability later on in the game, and very dangerous if they are in fact scum. See Bill Murray this game.

    As far as attacking VE, I stand by it. VE played exceptionally poorly this game, and deserved to be lynched for what he did. It's regrettable that he flipped blue, but I stand by my decision. If you are playing scummy, I am going to vote to lynch you.

  2. Here is the post that JW referenced. Here is why I started considering a Risen lynch. What was going on was Risen was claiming that he was against a Marv lynch, while he actually said (in this thread) that he was going to vote for him. His defense was that he didn't actually vote in the voting thread, and somehow this abdicates his responsibility in this situation. In my book, this ranks as scummy-as-hell, and that's why I was considering a Risen lynch. I had forgotten about that incident, thanks for bringing it up. We should lynch Risen tomorrow, after Ottoxlol flips red.

  3. On Day 1, I wrote a subpar case on a lurking player who had been acting scummy. I regret nothing. Sentinel's play has improved since then, perhaps because I called him out. If Sentinel had continued to do the same thing, that subpar case would have been an excellent starting point for pursuing a lynch.

  4. Your theory is that I've been bussing my scummate for a week now, non stop, to gain towncred? Well, stranger things have happened. Assuming we both were scum, I think that doing that would be suboptimal at best, but there's really no way to prove that until after we both flip. However, I would like to point out that I have been probably the loudest voice for lynching Ottoxlol for the last week, and I think quite a few people would agree that my case against him is what finally pushed the town over the edge. If I was scum, that sounds like a foolish thing to do.

  5. Numbah 5, because I love you guys so much <3

    My "marv, flip town" post was a direct response to the fact that blzinghand promised to eat his hat should Marv flip town. I have yet to see blzinghand eat his hat. If I were iGrok, I would revive him, then modkill him again for failing to eat his hat.




For BK's post,
  1. ?????
  2. ?????
  3. ?????
  4. ?????


I don't know what's going on in this post.
  1. Sentinel got called out for lurking by layabout, and immediately piped up in thread. According to Ver in his Mafia XXX analysis, this is a not terrible scum tell. It tells you that the person is paying attention to the thread, but not contributing, which is scummy. I regret nothing.

    As far as VE is scummy we should/shouldn't lynch him: VE was playing scummy, but has enough experience to play a good game as scum. It'd not an easy situation to read. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that what ultimately pushed me over the edge was his roleclaim. He was playing moderately scummy before (strange from a vet), then did something really scummy (strange for anyone), and that's why I voted to lynch him.

  2. I really don't know what BK was trying to say in response to my next quote. As I said before, immediately delurking the way Sentinel did is a decent scum tell. It's not a bad reason to pursue a lynch Day 1.

  3. I have a habit of not writing long posts against people, and because of that, no one listens to my lynch suggestions. See TLM LI. I've decided to change that, and it's working a lot better. I don't see this as a contradiction at all.

  4. I've beaten to death why I thought Sentinel was scummy Day 1. Most of your problems with this relate to confirmation bias. Remember, if I am townie, I had no idea Sentinel was blue/green before today.

  5. Being gone and busy is not the same as lurking. People who are lurking are avoiding posting in the thread. People who are busy can't post in the thread. I think the fact that I was the latter of those is apparent in the fact that after I made those posts, I was gone for pretty decent chunks of time for the first couple of days in this game.


BK's case against me is a lot of incoherent ramblings (sorry, BK), so I find it difficult to respond to it. If he or anyone else feels I answered it inadequately, feel free to speak up.

@BK: In my spreadsheet, I have a column marked "age", where I indicate the relative experience of each player. I had VE marked down as veteran, but after the last three games I've played with him, I think I'm going to move him into the insane category. So, this time I did not, but next time I probably will. That guy is nuts.

@sent: I would post a link to my sheet, but (1) I'm not sure that's okay with the rules, (2) I have been woefully negligent with it and (3) it's been wrong a lot

My top two town reads are Sentinel and Mattchew. After I FoS'd him Day 1, he really turned his game around. Now, with his claim and lack of counterclaim, I view him as confirmed town. Mattchew's next, since he's been more or less behind me for quite some time now. The thing I find most scummy about him is he's not dead yet. ghost stops to ponder...

Paqman reads null for me at the moment. I have been behind on keeping up on the game for a couple of days now, so I don't have an intelligent opinion on him. Skimming through his filter, I don't see anything too scummy, but tomorrow I'll post some deeper thoughts. Janaan is also null for me, but I always misread Janaan.

BroodKing has struck me as slightly not town, but in a noobie sort of way, so I'll give him a pass. Bill Murray is insane, but I don't like how he doesn't interact with the town even when called out. But, like I've said a couple of times, BM is nuts, so I would hesitate to push a lynch on him.

Risen has done the most scummy things in this game by a wide margin. Just a few of the things I don't like about him include his "say I'll vote someone then don't and pretend like I didn't" and screwing up the Ottoxlol lynch on Day 2. After that, he pretty much dropped out of the game. I don't like his play, and wouldn't hesitate to lynch him.

Johnnywup has not done the most scummy things in this game. That's because he's not done a lot. One incident that sticks out to me in particular is how much he's flipflopped on the Ottoxlol lynch. He's okay with it, he's against it, nevermind let's do it. Take a look at the last couple of pages of his filter. He's all over the place. I don't know if that's par for the course for him, or this is his way of playing scum. After Ottoxlol's flip, I'm going to take a hard look at him and start figuring out exactly which role he rolled.

And Ottoxlol is scum.

@BK: Before this game, I viewed VE has a veteran player. I have expectations of veteran players to play good games and to not do stupid things. When I see players that I expect to play games that make sense playing games that don't make sense, I start to wonder about their alignments. Claiming JK with no reason is one of those things. I assumed that VE would know better than to roleclaim at such an inopportune time. Good blues don't claim, so I assumed he was lying. Typically scum lie, so I assumed he was scum.

Because of this incident and his play in Aperture Mafia and TLM LI, I'm going to move him into the insane category, which I'm still trying to figure out how to read. I think, from now on, I'll just lynch him when he's making sense.

@JW: Well, if that's the case, I'd say we're still pretty well off. There's a short list of people who voted immediately after the deadline, so it should be pretty easy to figure out who's scum and who's not.

@johnnywup: You never told any of us why you thought it was a mislynch. Instead, all we got is you standing in the town square screaming "YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE". Your claim to have known it was a mislynch means nothing.

@JW: Bandwagons come early when

A) All the scum jump on board and a few townies follow
B) The decision is completely obvious

I'm assuming that the town opted for (B) yesterday due to the fact that Ottoxlol had been pushed as a lynch candidate since Day 2, and I posted a case against him which no one save Ottoxlol himself disagreed with.

If you had come back saying "Your case against him is wrong" or "Look, this is totally townie" or any kind of evidence based claim whatsoever, I would be inclined to give credence to your claim.

Instead, you came back with "I had a gut feeling".

he's criticizing scum for a kill (lol?).. and the other part of the post i can't get my head around. They both suspected risen to be scum, so risen is town?

another thing: he avoids a lot of accusations and has a lot of useless posts (if not all), and he votes me by sheeping MG then unvotes me for this reason:

in that same post, he says MG IS MOST LIKELY SCUM! Remember who he sheeped and voted me because of it? MG! WOW! 2 PEOPLE HE SEEMED TO THINK WAS TOWN ENDED UP IN HIS SCUM LIST RIGHT BEFORE DEADLINE!

We should have lynched Ottox. MG was going to be modkilled anyways so our lynch was wasted.

Relying on modkills to do your work for you isn't very sportsmanlike imoimo

good to see a goon gone though. i dunno what MG was up to today, but it certainly didn't help. sucks we lost another townie T_T

I want to lynch scum. But look for other scum other than ottox because if he dies than scum still has the KP. We want to reduce the KP to 0. If we do that it's smooth sailing.

Ok, first off theres Bill Murray. Verdict: Goon. Meta-reason: Compare his filter to his DFM2 posting (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=324050&user=54241). He wasn't very active there either, but he made reads and took sides and made substantial posts. Here he tells people that they're wrong. That's it. He doesn't make a case or say anything unless he's directly responding to accusations against him. There are some examples of him responding to posts not about him, but they're still small and not relevant. He's scraping by lynches by not taking stances and that's unacceptable. He's scum. I'm not quoting him to point out certain points in his posting because all his posts are very similar. There's not too much for me to say about BM because he hasn't posted much. I think he's Goon because he's staying out of the spotlight as much as often. This makes him look more goon than GF because without Goon there isn't any KP left for mafia. Same concept for vigs (which we dont have anyways). The others are Godfather by default of me thinking that BM is Goon (since theres 1 left) and because they're not afraid to put themselves out in the open as much as BM.



Then theres Ghost_403. Verdict: Godfather

Point 1) I totally agree with sloosh's point here. VE's idea that a JK would work against a claimed vig is just stupid, and one of the first things he said that made me think that he was scum.

Point 2) I thought his scumslip argument was stupid. Said that already.

Point 3) Yeah, I agree with that. VE avoided discussing most of his counterarguments.

Point 4) I agree with this.

Well, I'm sold. I'm happy with a VE lynch. VE today, Sentinel tomorrow?

I think a BM lynch is a terrible idea (vig shout would be fine though). I don't think I've ever seen a case where a ninja vote was due to someone being scum. There's too much risk and no reward for scum in this situation. I think he's just insane.

I really don't like the fact that Sentinel immediately jumped on the lynch BM bandwagon. Trying to lynch insane players is scummy in my book. Same goes for you Mattchew. Why would scum even try to ninja vote? It makes way more sense to sheep instead. No one would have thought twice if BM had shown up in thread and said "lol VE scum ##vote VE".

VE's claim is bad. He's doing the same thing that he did in TLM LI in claiming when there's no reason to. I can't imagine scum VE doing the same thing twice, but now we're into WIFOM territory. In addition, JK is the only nonconfirmable role in the game. A vig shot shows up in the day post, and a tracker can confirm where someone went that night. It only makes sense that scum VE would claim JK.


I've said I think BM is scum. So this stuff makes perfect sense. Soft defending his scum mate, and attacking townies (who we now know are indeed townies)

I'm not really seeing why Risen is scum. Sure, he's loud, obnoxious and belligerent, but that doesn't say anything about his alignment.

I'm still pretty happy with a VE lynch. I thought he was scum before he claimed, and I don't buy his claim. Even if his claim is true, he's functioning in an anti-town manner. Also, I'm surprised that no one has brought up the point that he's pretty much ragequit.

Another thing that I was going to note last night was the fact that Sentinel has been lurking like a bawse through this whole game. If you take a look at what he wrote last night, he more or less claimed that he was onboard the VE lynch, and that's it. Sentinel is afraid of posting in this thread, because he's afraid he'll do something to out his scumbuddies. I thought he was scum yesterday, our townie friend sloosh thought he was scum before Sentinel killed him, and I think we should be lynching him today. I'm guessing that he rolled goon, which is why he's so afraid to get caught. Scum KP should drop to 1 after we lynch Sentinel.




Let's look at Sentinel's posts from last night!

Poast 1

"I was totally onboard for the VE lynch before VE was". Who cares? What does this add to the thread? How does this help us hunt scum? MG's idea that the scum voted to lynch VE before the townies is flawed to begin with, and now he somehow wants more credit for it?

Wait... how the hell do you brand Risen green because of "town meta"? I think his aggressive-defensive bipolarity kinda ruined that aspect. If anything makes him green is that he backed VE till the end.


Scum love making townie reads, because it saves them the trouble of scum hunting. You have nothing to say about the fact that Mattchew thinks you're scum? I'd be pissed if I ended up red on that list.

There's no reason for a townie to have this little content in the game. One post with a decent thought is all I ask for. Just one. One post where I can look back and agree or disagree with what you have to say. Instead, this. Nothing of content. The lack of content from Sentinel is due to the fact that's he's terrified of being caught.

That's 'cause Sentinel rolled scum.

##vote [UoN]Sentinel
which is actually a really really bad case, points out small things but no big picture scummy things. I'll admit I thought Sentinel was scum, but ghost is really grasping at straws with this case.

then ghost starts to get on the ottox train after BJ makes a long post about him:

Haha, chainsaw defense. I've been giving Ottoxlol a noob pass since Day 1, but perhaps BJ is right. I'd be down with a Ottoxlol lynch.

The other thing that I don't like about Ottoxlol is the fact that he's not hunting scum at all. If you take a look through his filter, his suggestions for lynches are all lurkers. There's 50 pages in this thread, and he can't find any scum who are posting? I assumed it was due to the fact that he's a newb, but newbs roll scum too.

@ottoxlol: If you don't want me to try and get you lynched today, start hunting some scum. You want to suggest someone who isn't lurking and/or insane?


Which is taking a "I think you're a newb" to a "I think you're scum and I'm gonna lynch you unless you do something productive" standpoint. Huge change. This is because of BJs case but I feel like this was a perfect opportunity for ghost to get some "town cred".

Then he exaggerates risens voteswitch as "claiming scum". Then of course ghost goes hardcore down on lynching ottox, which I still think is to gain towncred by lynching a scum. I still think ottox is scum but I don't think that.




Then there's ottox. There's been tons of cases against Ottox so I don't feel like I need to repeat things. I think Ottox is a Godfather. Oh, by the way, once Ottox flips scum, he left a trail to lead Ghost to "being town".

Ok, why don't we just lynch BM, if you think BM is scum too? Why does ottox have to be today? We have 50 minutes left and I think we can change the lynch to BM in that time. I don't like how many votes are on ottox despite me thinking he's scum, like I said, which makes me like a BM lynch more. I get that we'll still be talking about ottox tomorrow but he's not a goon so even if we do lynch him we're at the same place tomorrow. (-1 townie, -1scum, unless Sentinel JK's correctly, but he'll most likely be killed anyways). If we lynch the Goon we're in a good position. If we lynch the GF we're in about the same position.


Weird, reading these quotes, it makes it sound like you thought that Ottoxlol was scum.

@JW: According to Mattchew, Sent fakeclaimed. That makes him confirmed scum. Which is who he voted for?

I need some time, a lot of time, to think about this. I like Mattchew's explanation mainly because I've thought Risen was scum for a long time, and Sent's contributions are lesser considering Ottoxlol flipped town. But, the more I thought about it today, the scummier Mattchew seemed for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. I'm going to have to think about this long and hard.

I'll post my thoughts tomorrow.

I'm more inclined to believe Mattchew over Sentinel at this point. Looking back through his filter, he was pushing for, or at least suggesting, a StDaniels lynch through most of the game. I can't see scum pushing to lynch their KP for towncred.

In addition to that, Risen has been playing scummy as fuck all game long. I doubt I could find a single page in his filter where he doesn't say something that doesn't make him look like either a terrible townie or scum. Mattchew's claim is consistent with my read on Risen.

The decrease in scumminess that I saw from Sentinel was mostly due to him actually being moderately aggressive in pushing for an Ottoxlol lynch. Now that we know that Ottoxlol was a townie, this can very easily be attributed to scum being called out and forced to do something in the game.

I would propose lynching Risen first, and taking it from there.

@mattchew: That's the worst breadcrumb I've ever seen.

Mattchew's right, we should have lynched him days ago just to get him out of the game.

@BM: Of course the scum held their kill last night. If you weren't the goon, and Mattchew hadn't counterclaimed, they could have easily pushed the town to mislynch you. gg

@mattchew: One thing I don't get is why your theory makes Bill Murray confirmed town. There are three scum left in the game, and your theory only accounts for two of them.

@paqman: I fully support this, and honestly, I need another couple of days to figure out which one of them is town. Sent's town game has been lackluster and scummy the whole time. Mattchew spends a lot of time advising the vig to shoot, which is thinking outloud if you believe his claim. I dunno what to make of it, but I think Risen is obviously scummy, and would be very happy with that lynch.

We have Sent 'jail' BM again, which regardless of his claim leaves us in a pretty good location. We can WIFOM it over the night.

I think lynching Risen is the best option.

Sent, Mattchew, does this sound like a decent compromise to you both?

Also, we need everyone in the town in on this, or the scum are just going to ninja vote this away from us.

I've had a scum read on you all game, Risen. Don't believe me? Check my filter. Today, I am voting to lynch scum. As a bonus, it gives me more time to figure out which one of them is lying.

The reason that I want a compromise is this. This is lylo, which means that if the town doesn't work together, it loses. I want a compromise so that the scum agree to work with us, and can't screw up our lynch at the last possible moment.

Also, you're right. That post looks scummy as fuck. Don't blame you for pointing that out.

What I find most interesting is the fact that Risen isn't really pushing us to lynch either Sentinel or Mattchew. If he was really town, wouldn't he say "You two are stupid, obviously this one is scum"? After all, lynching a town Risen would lose the town the game. We have to get this lynch right, and Risen's not helping us do that.

No lynch is a terrible idea. We end up in exactly the same situation we are in now. If you "jail" BM again, scum will simply hold their shot for a second time. Either way, they only need a mislynch to win, so why would they bother to shoot another townie?

@johnnywup: You don't have a bad case against me, but I think it's counterproductive to discuss it right now. If anyone else would like me to address it now rather than later, I would be happy to.

I'm going to resume drudging through Mattchew's and Sentinel's filters. Only one of them can be town. At this point, I feel it's going to be easier to find the townie between the two of them rather than the scum. I would encourage everyone else to examine this problem in the same way.

Johnnywup, stop playing stupid. If we can't get all of our votes onto the right candidate this lynch, mafia are just going to voteswitch at the last moment, mislynch a townie, and end the game. This lynch has to be Sent v Mattchew. Earlier, I was wrong for pushing Risen this lynch (even though I still think he's scum), and you're wrong for pushing me now. Now, start working with the town to make sure we do this lynch right.

If/when we lynch scum tonight, I would be more than happy to discuss lynching me. Right now, we have better things to do.

I'm still trying to figure out which one of them is town. I've found both a town and scum game from Sent, but only town for Mattchew. Can anyone point me to one where he rolled scum?

I think Mattchew is scum.

I can't see Sentinel fake claiming JK from Day 1 if he was scum for this exact situation. His breadcrumb is the same in this game as it was in NMM I. He played medic in that game.

Unfortunately, I still think his plan is poorly thought out. Scum could have easily held their KP last night. Bill Murray has played an insane game thus far, which is unfortunately par for the course for him, meaning I'm not convinced he's confirmed scum. If Sentinel really is right, we should be lynching Mattchew today.

As far as both of your previous games, both of you haven't played enough scum games for me to make a good read on your scum meta. In Werewolves II, Mattchew died Night 1. Can't really tell a lot about meta from that. In that same game, Sentinel rolled scum, and was lynched Day 2. Mattchew's town play in his other games resembles what he played here, and how he began Werewolves. Sentinel also plays consistently. He was noticeably more aggressive in Resistance 2, but that's the only significant difference I ran across. Fun fact: Sentinel has a habit of dieing early on mafia games.

In this game, there was really only one thing that stood out in Mattchew's filter. That fact was the fact that he spent a lot of the first two or three days directing the vigilante. If he really was the vig, why didn't he shoot earlier? He tells the town plenty of people to shoot, but never does until Night 3. He shot Risen for the scummy behavior that happend Day 2, no less. The wait here is also curious.

Meanwhile, Sentinel has been playing more or less useless throughout the entire game. His cases are uninspired and shallow, and don't get too deep into player analysis. However, I have found that this is consistent with his play in other games. He's simply not super aggressive with his cases overall, which is unfortunately indistinguishable from scummy play.

Fun fact: my legion is not cap stable running the rep (shitty skills) and just lost it in a totally avoidalbe fashion. Fuck my life.

brb, Eve emergency.

@Risen: Believe it or not, this ranks only as my secondest stupidest EvE pve loss.

Told you guys.

I'll write up my thoughts on this in a bit. Already lost one internet spaceship today, don't feel like making that two.

Day 1: I have no idea why VE chose to claim when he did. I think he probably could have gotten out of the lynch without claiming at all, but perhaps the game looked very different to him. This marks the fourth game I've played with VE where he's done something insane, so I'm moving him from the "veteran" category to the "insane" category. I just don't get his play.

Day 2: I was gone most of this day, so I don't really know what happened.

Day 3: RISEN CLAIMED SCUM IN THREAD. People WIFOM'd their way around this more than I ever could have guessed. I wish I could have persuaded people to lynch Risen. It was soooo scummy, he deserved to get lynched for that move regardless of his alignment. It did "confirm" Ottoxlol as scum to me.

Ottoxlol, I'm sorry, but you played this game really poorly. Better luck next time!

Day 4: We pushed for the Ottoxlol lynch and got it pretty early. Johnnywup nailed it when he said that the lynch felt wrong, but Ottoxlol's play was so bad, I think it was justified.

@JW: Gut instinct is a good reason to take a closer look at what's going on in the game, but you have to have something to back it up. Also, stop flipflopping. I mean, seriously. You were all over the place.

Day 5: Sent nailed the JK claim. As soon as Mattchew claimed vig in thread, I knew it felt wrong, but I could never quite nail down why. I did everything to try to prove to myself it was one way or the other, but just completely ran out of steam at the end. Also, JW pushing me as a lynch candidate actually confirmed him as town to me, but that was definitely the wrong time to do that.

Scum did deserve this win, as a town we played poorly. For reference, my scum team at the end of the game was Mattchew, Janaan, and Risen, continuing my streak of misreading Janaan. Where were you all game?

And again, gg to everybody. I had a lot of fun playing this game. Thanks again to the hosts. I really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into making this game fun.

Now to actually start playing TLM LIV. XD

Oh, and I was like ten minutes away from putting together the "why would scum sent claim at this point", but never got there. Cursed thesis. Takes up all my time.
