Also cheers to I10f, Nova_Terra, and Paqman for wasting there votes!

Aka, voting someone who has no chance of getting lynched and not trying to actively push that player, or convince anyone else why they are scum/to vote them. I guess having your vote have no influence on the outcome at all is good for keeping away from a WIFOM vote analysis paper trail. >_>


At least I voted for scum.

Sorry I missed the deadline to vote, but neither N_T or blubb looked scummier than Eiii to me, so I wouldn't have known which of the two to vote for even if I was here.

Especially with that last second switch that makes no sense...


It accomplished preventing a potential last-minute switch onto another candidate. Blubb had a decent case against him and I generally consider that kind of behavior after getting a lot of votes to be something scum are more likely to do than town.

It ended up not working out for the best, of course, but I'm not psychic so

layabout, and why he's getting my Finger of Suspicion.

#1
I'll begin with a link to his case against blubby: here
In that post, layabout makes no mention whatsoever of DYH's case against blubb. Not even a little comment, even though he made it 4 hours after DYH. I think that it's pretty obvious DYH's case on blubb influenced layabout to make his own. So I looked into it more.

What struck me as really odd, was the fact that he had no FoS, no read, nothing at all on blubb prior to DYH's case.
In fact, layabout's only mention of blubb is when SA asks him what he thinks about blubb, seen here: + Show Spoiler +

I think it is condemning, scum over-reacts to things like that (at least i think, ive never actually played scum). Of course laya didn't know kat would be modkilled, which is why it is condemning. If we didn't know kat's flip, it wouldn't be bad for either of them. It's just a townie pushing his reads on another person he thinks is townie, right? Since kat flipped, no. I don't know, the flip makes me think laya is more scummy.

It took scum by surprise that Kat was modkilled.

This is a strange thing to assert when as a townie you do not know who scum are and if they thought that Katina was coming back or not.

Also when he votes for me he emphasises that it is to get me to answer his question.

He begins by saying that i am scum. If he believes this then surely that should be the reason for his vote. By saying that he wants a response he gives himself a way to back out of pushing me. If he truly believes that i am scum then he would have no reason to do this.



In which he makes no opinion and takes no stance whatsoever.

I think killing something awesome could be a good move. If we still have no candidates when i get up then i think we should just lynch BM.


What he's saying is that he wants to kill SomethingAwesome, but he's too damn lazy to build a case or make a push on him.
He's also practically asking everyone to do the scumhunting for him while he sits back and chills.

He doesn't make a read, take a stance, or form an opinion on SA. The only time he ever mentions SA is if he is defending himself.

Later on, he posts this little baby. Again, just like with SomethingAwesome, he makes the suggestion of wanting to kill Palmar. He made no case on Palmar besides the little comment.
When asked why, he posts this:

False. I am criticizing you for saying we should kill Palmar, and not posting a case against him until 9 hours, after daybreak. Did you actually read my case?

Yes, my criticism is based on HOW you did what you did, not what you did. Is it really typical layabout play to make a 1-sentence accusation halfway through the night then not follow up with a case until after daybreak? Cause I had some respect for your town play...

Yesterday, between the hours of (UK time) 5pm and 1 am i was otherwise engaged.+ Show Spoiler +
the FA cup final was on
. I posted that "we should kill Palmar" when i heard a knock at the door.

Now try think of a way to write that without it sounding lame.



And I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt, mainly because there are other reasons to think he is scum.

The key things to note are that Johnny:
  • Posts a lot, this does not necessarily mean that we should expect him to have a massive filter but he does put a lot of time, thought and energy into the game as town.
  • He is concerned about communicating his ideas to others and convincing them
  • He is working to improve his town game
  • He feels like he owes town something

I see no signs of his town game so far.

johnnywub is sitting back and watching the thread. When i called him out he instantly de-lurked, said nothing, and left.

But even then, he makes no stance. He doesn't pressure jdub, doesn't make some sort fos, does nothing except call him out for lurking.
I would say that that is his only other contributing post. Read through his filter and it becomes apparent that he puts more effort into defending himself than hunting scum.

No, I'm saying that its less likely of being alignment indicative then actual thread activity at this point.

But Kenpachi has been more "active" than froggnoddy, Eiii, l10f, ghost_403 johnnywub, grush, mementoss, sinensis and papaganda.

He might not even have PC acess at the momnet


That post^ is complete BS that I don't even understand how he could have possibly came to that conclusion. The only person he's been more active than is froggynoddy, and even then Froggy's posts have way more quality than KP's does.

Ok, so... are you trying to show me that because he plays like this both as town and scum we should excuse untowny behaviour? I don't like that as an argument as untowny behaviour should always be punished. That being said I understand that perhaps this would be a better job for any vigs we have left. It just seems unlikely unless we do unless we have a pyro. I will keep reading through threads and see if anything convinces me. As I said, other than what I think about lynching into inactives, NT's weird post (see above post) and your hard defence on Katina seem like the strongest indications of scumminess imo.

It was more of an "inactivity from a player that's always inactive is meaningless". There is also some merit to the notion that scum will try to lynch Kenpachi.

I am not sure what you are trying to say but blue pyro's are trackers not not vigis.


Again, you cannot be freaking serious. You pushed for BM's lynch, am I correct? SO HOW ARE YOU DEFENDING KP WHEN KP'S PLAY MATCHES EXACTLY LIKE BM!
lurk, lurk, lurk, inactive, spam one-liners, purposely not contribute, purposely play anti-town. KP said that he's so busy he cannot possibly play, but he could have EASILY come up with a small read/fos/case on someone. Instead, he wastes what little time he has to shit up the thread.
KP is the most anti-town player in the game right now, and you're defending him hard.
Remind me why you wanted BM lynched.

Hmm. The victims of our mislynches both suggest to lynch layabout. And so far we're ignoring them.


Why I believe layabout to be scum boils down to;

1) Has nothing on blubb, but as soon as DYH pushes a case and lynch on him, layabout makes a weak case and pushes it forward as if he had been suspecting him for a while.

2) layabout does not create his own scumreads, does not establish his own opinions, and does not make his own stance. He has other people do the work for him, and then he starts pushing reads. Basically, he's not scum hunting.

3) All of layabout's "good, quality posts" are the only ones where he is defending himself, not doing any actual scumhunting.

4) People previously thought his analysis on Kat was an attempt at soft-defending. But after individually separating his posts, we can all clearly see how hard he is defending Kenpachi. KP's play is awfully similar to BM's.

5) I'm restating this one because I feel it's one of the stronger points against layabout:
He does not actively hunt scum. All he does is push other people's reads.



I retract my FoS on him. I'm confident that layabout is scum and I want him lynched tomorrow.

Okay.. So I was wrong about Blubb =/

I'm going to reassess my opinion about layabout later. I just feel that so many players are not even trying to appear to act in town best interest which makes it hard to weed out the bad townies from the scum ones. (Eiii, l10f, Ghost, Grush, Kenpachi come to mind.)

So this is a different reason. Just in case we missed it, of course:

Like I said, I've been super addicted to this 999 game and I'll be putting a LOT more time into this game. I've been alt tabbing and reading what's going on, to keep up (I guess you can call that lurking but I've just been wanting to get all 6 endings to this game asap, but i'll town it down and be more active in thread now that I see it's an issue). If you don't believe me, fine. I don't care. It's the truth. And so, I'll be posting more now, since people are thinking I'm scummy and lurky :u


Holy shit. An entire paragraph... to explain why he's being useless. Repeated apologies, promises to do better without following through - classic scumtells.

Yeah, I'm watching. I guess you could say I'm not playing, or lurking, or whatever. But what I said is the truth. I'm a townie and I've just been super into a game. Anyways I'll make it up to you guys by playing much more from now on.


And again.

But wait, you might say, I saw him say something about blubb at some point once! Well, just to introduce jdub's point on blubb -

Bold is mine. Below I quote the only attempt at analysis from jdub for an age.

papapanda, unable to even graps that he has a bit more time than just one day, ready to sacrifice me although there are better options like grush.
Till now, I have have defended myself better than grush, but papanda is willing to forgive grush for his action because he could be a semi-lurker. Like SA pointed out, reading minds for others, especially at such an early stage of the game is scummy.

Palmar: his play here compared to Liar Game Mafia is opposite. In one game he is interested and active, here, well...
Two options:
1. He has no special role here and therefore immediately lost interest.
2. He is scum, scumming scum.

(Note: he is sheeping Kenpachi here, whereas in the other game he is playing king lol)

grush is without doubt the scummiest player here, putting up a strong (read:nonexistant) defense.

##vote grush57


PALMAR IS SCUM SO I'M VOTING GRUSH.

If we assume blubb is scum here, his actions don't really have a scum agenda. But they don't really have a town agenda either. I don't get it. I don't know if that's scummy or townie or not alignment telling at all but it's just weird. ESPECIALLY since palmar flipped town. Palmar flipping town means that if blubb is scum, grush is almost definitely town. But even that doesn't make much sense because blubb made a semi-case on palmar. I don't see an agenda from town or scum here, it's just "I think one person is scum so I'm gonna vote for some other guy that I also think is scum but didn't make a case on". It's just ... weird


This is all the analysis. Let's have a look at what he's saying.

1) if blubb is scum, his actions aren't scummy. if he's town, his actions aren't townie. Not saying anything other than it's odd
2) Pointless pontification on Palmar - blubb - grush alignment connections?
3) still doesn't look townie OR scummy
4) Conclusion: stuff is 'weird'

Biggest pile of wishywashy paragraph I can imagine. No firm stances, no nothing at all, really. If that's substantial then I'll... well, I'll leave it for BH.

I agree with DYH and I'll be voting blubb. I had some of the same thoughts but he put it into words.


Finally things are rounded off with his sheepy vote on blubb, possibly (but not certainly?) backed up by his non-accusation quoted above.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Nova_Terra has not done anything to dissuade me from the belief he's scum, so he is still at the moment my top-read. But johnnywup is not far behind, for his incessant apologies, promises to post more, failure to deliver as such, and awful pretense at analysis/scumhunting.

Hmmm, to me Jdub falls into the SA's list of players who: 'are not even trying to appear to act in town best interest which makes it hard to weed out the bad townies from the scum ones'. I need to have a look at NT again, I thought that blubb's case was stronger but perhaps I was wrong.

Still don't like Kenpachi btw...

But the point is jdub is perfectly capable of playing very pro-town, but in this game he seemingly refuses to. 'bad town' simply isn't a valid excuse for him.

I think the point he is trying to make is you've put no commitment into any stance, basically just throwing words around at people and sheeping after the fact. The only real thing you've committed to is your defense posts. Otherwise, you just say things about people and drop the pressure or don't come to any solid conclusions about the person. It almost seems like you seem scared about calling people scum or their actions scummy, until you realize they are about to be lynched.

I'm finding myself in a similar boat to SA. With blubb gone I see so many people with good potential for being scum. Johnny, layabout, nova, KP. I haven't even looked hard into Eiii or I10f. And ghost fits in there somewhere as well.

I feel pretty comfortable picking our next lynch from the group of Johnny, layabout, nova, and KP. I'm going to need to do some serious reviewing before I know which I want to lynch over the others though. I know that a number of you have already picked your pony for d3 (probably because I usurped you with the blubb train) but I would really appreciate it if we could present complete cases for d3 to work from. Even if that means you are repeating points from earlier in the game. The recent posts on Johnny and layabout are a nice step in this direction.

Personally, I think I'm a bad lynch. But that's probably because I'm the one dying. marv's post on me is true, I'm usually more active than this. That's for a number of reasons I don't think are really relevant to the game. laya had a "sudo-FoS" on me, but I agree the non-commital-ness isn't settling. It could be looking for a weak townie (which I will admit I am this game) to lynch. But it could be me looking legitimately scummy. I can see both perspectives. But since a wagon is somewhat forming I'd like to ask you what you gain if I flip scum or town. If I flip scum, you have a dead scum, but no info regarding the other scum-members. If I flip town, you get nothing. Best case scenario, you kill a scum. Worst case scenario, you kill a vanilla townie. Killing a VT at this stage in the game isn't too bad so if push comes to shove and you're lynching me, go ahead. Town won't lose that much. But the thing is, you lose a lynch to a townie and scum gets another 2 kills. If my death confirms other suspicions I'd lynch myself. But as of now it doesn't. Not to mention I have no scum motivations for anything I've done, which albeit is little.

I don't think you have any other reason to blame me as scum other than "unwillingness to post reads or post cases or be active". Which is all inherent in inactivity. I haven't been playing to my ability and I apologize.
Bleh this is just a train of thoughts :/

I am sick of playing with people that refuse to put in the effort.

To the bold: what is this? Town should never lynch for further information, but rather that you're scum.

This whole post doesn't even constitute a defence.

It's not so much the general activity, it's more the broken promises. You posted that LIII finished and you'd be more active, you weren't. You claimed you would look at filters and come up with something substantial, you didn't.

Why you aren't you scum? Don't you like easy lynches?
