Yes, and my experience has taught me that making assumptions such as those can lead you to the wrong results. "It's my intuition" is neither an offence nor a defence.

the best way to determine ppls roles is to try to find their motivations and thought processes. There are situations where if you put yourself in the shoes of the scum, you will see that there is a clear and easy decision for them to make in certain circumstances. The assumption that I'm making is that scum tend to think more about how their interactions/cases/votes will make them look to the townspeople. This is a perfectly reasonable assumption. Once this assumption is made, the rest of what I said about bussing is just common sense

Yes, but not everything is always as planned as that, and things move fast.
Take this as a scenario:
1 - Aces was leading the lynch by 4-2 (5-2?) and so was looking likely to be lynched. Scum are quite happy 2 - Golden makes his 3 scumread cases, not including Veriat 3 - Suddenly pressure is heaped on Veriat and he starts receiving votes 4 - Golden changes his 3 scumreads to include Veriat 5 - As he'd been forced to include Veriat as a scumread, he couldn't just hop on to the wagon straight away as Aces was his strongest read, so he waited until later when it appeared Veriat was the only viable option

In his inactivity lies his downfall, however with AcesAnoka and Nreekay it is their activity that has brought about my suspicions. Which leads me to question everyone in particular those voting for Veriat. If it comes down to AcesAnoka and Veriat do we lynch the flip-flop impulse voters who lurk and post fluff, or the absent veriat who 'stands firm' in his vote with the_zen_man and has otherwise done little. I will change votes only until you can show me AcesAnoka is less of a threat than Veriat. a very sleepy Golden. This post is hella sketch. Your happy to see him lynched but you won't vote him? As far as I know only 1 person is voting him becuase of his lack of activity. I am not. When he has been in the thread, his posts have been extremely wolfy as I and others have pointed out.

What's 'hella sketch' about my post exactly if you don't mind me asking?
I've already stated the reasoning behind my lynch vote for AcesAnoka, I personally find his activity to be alot more suspicious than the inactivity which is what is making Veriat a suspect.
"Your happy to see him lynched but you won't vote him?" is answered here "I will change votes only until you can show me AcesAnoka is less of a threat than Veriat."
I will vote for him if we need too, but answer me this. Is Veriats 'wolfy' posts more detrimental to the team than AcesAnoka's?
Everyone please pay note to the response to this: @WhySoMuch What is your read on me? Is my steadfast view on AcesAnoka more 'hella sketch' than your own flip flop voting? 3 Votes in such a short period has me curious.
Golden I explained in my post why it was sketch. You saying you won't change your vote to Variat even though you are happy to see him lynched. There are no detrimental posts, idk what you mean by that. Are Veriats posts more scummy than Aces? Yes, a lot more. The bolded: Why are you so against voting him, like it's going to pain you to vote him, but if it's absolutely necessary you will when you said you would be happy to see him lynched. It doesn't make sense. If Veriat flips mafia, I am coming after you for being his partner. And to answer your bolded question: My read on you is that you are a mafia if Veriat flips mafia. Yes your steadfast view on Aces is more sketch than me flip flopping, what is so bad about flip-flopping? I'm showing I'm analysing posts in real time and drawing conclusions, then going back rereading and switching my stance. You are hesistant to vote someone you are "happy to lynch" and that's what makes your steadfast stance scummy.

Yeah. The problem comes because Golden can't defend himself. So we're left with:
1) we lynch sexfiend/golden on the strength of my case (and other's suspicions) and that's that 2) we let him off because he isn't golden
Both scenarios are a long way from ideal.

Then we get this whole charade? WhySoMuch "knows" Sexdoll from some other site, they have this nice little byplay - oh he's actually younguns there lol lol, heyya babe, and of course Sexdoll knows him and he is likely a villager based on his experience with him.
Isn't that sweet, the internet suddenly seems like such a small happy place, where two people who played something similar on another site manage to not only end up in the same game on this site, but have all this experience playing together.
I think it's one of two things. 1). They are the same person and totally fucking with us. This was my first impression based on Sexdolls posts. 2). They are friends who are communicating out of band and acting like they aren't.
I don't like it at all.
Marv, I'm going to spend the next bit going over your case on Golden. It read good the first time but there were a few things I wanted to look at closer. Don't you think it's weird that WhySoMuch has dropped his number 1 scum read on Golden? His reason initially was that he didn't think anyone would support it, so now you've made a good case, why the hell isn't he even pushing it?
You may not like me and you may think I'm a tool. But I would never compromise game integrity like that. That is just wasting everyone's time. I assure you we are not the same person. I was the one that told SexDoll about this site, he had no idea what my screen name was on this site, and therefor had no idea what game I was in, I didn't even tell him that we needed a sub and that he should join. We occassionally talk outside of this game, but we know the rules and we do not discuss this game at all. We talk about sports or random other things, or how much we miss poker, and stuff like that. We have a policy that everyone knows where you never talk about ongoing games.
And yes, we do have a lot of experience together, and joke around a lot with each other, I do it with most players I know, as do a lot of players on 2p2.
But Seriously, yes we are from the same site. No we aren't the same player. Yes, we talk outside of this game, but we do not discuss this game.

Scum in that scenario say stuff like, "Veriat is fine but I prefer Aces." They don't volunteer their bros to get lynched like that.
On 2p2 we call it bussing when one scum pushes another so that's what I'll call it here. The way that went down is NOT how scum bus each other. It makes no sense. There are 2 approaches that make sense in s/s interactions like that. 1 he would agree that veriat is probably a wolf but try to get aces lynched over him and 2 he would push him in a way that would be clearing for HIM. Golden got 0 credit for the veriat lynch because he deserved 0 credit for it. It makes no sense for him to have pushed Veriat like that if they were s/s.
Oh common, You know people say (the bolded) all the time as m/m.
And as for Golden's vote, I've already said so, but he said "I happy to lynch Veriat" at some point in the day. At that point, he has to vote Veriat every time even if he's m/m with veriat. Because if he doesn't he just outed 2 of the mafia.
You got put in a crappy situation and you're prolly a mafia. Sorry Bro :/

Well, we obviously need to keep moving forward, and Golden/SexDoll are probably the best vote right now. As much as I hate easy lynches, I don't see any other option right now.

Golden/SexDoll is starting to look more and more suspicous to me as more people post cases against him and not only WhySoMuch. Before i thought of him as a good townie, who made some cases and encouraged others to do the same. But his leave from the game is very strange, especially since he left not long after marvellosity said he was compiling a post about him. Also, much of what sexdoll says confuses me. Either he is using advanced logic all the time or he is using fail logic all the time. He has gone up to a big spot in my scum reads. I will wait and observe SexDoll some more before i can form a proper opinion, but for now i can say that i am suspicous of him.

Two additional points I noticed about Golden; 1) I only quoted a part of his post, but the part where Golden consistently mentions WhySoMuch. There’s WIFOM about mafia’s nightt shot, a defensive discredit of WhySoMuch’s claims against Golden, and general comments about suspicion towards WSM’s play. + Show Spoiler +On April 30 2012 10:27 O.Golden_ne wrote: Day Two: This is a solid read, please re-read it as it has alot of analysis and i don't want any of it missed....
I think that the reason they shot him was because while he may not have been a provider of new idea's, he was a provider of solid voting. Shooting an idea-provider would be greatly substantial for the Mafia in the early game so why didn't they? WhySoMuch could have been an ideal target and he even noted it himself so he binged out idea's in the night time. I thought that perhaps if WhySoMuch was shot than i would consider his idea's posted to be given a little more credence than i have (read below), but that is moot as he hasn't been shot.
THIS the fact that he wasn't shot makes him slightly suspicious, as who would be able to spew ideas in the night time and not get shot? Perhaps a Mafia who want's to incriminate someone who has been contributing to the group with a 'legitimate nightime argument' without any contest. This is highly strange behaviour. He wasn't sniped, and his idea has gone uncontested. If WhySoMuch was mafia and his position on me was known in Day 1 and i was sniped he would be considered suspicious. So he gave his idea's hoping they will be absorbed on the record, but unchallenged and so he could use them for his benefit at a later date ("oh woops we sniped a townie, what? justify why he's my target? WELL, i commented about him at night, surely he would have sniped me") all the while sniping a solid voter town.
My opinion of WhySoMuch and his vote on me.
You've tried very hard to set yourself up as the 'Champion of the Veriat lynch', however as i see it you voted 3 times yesterday within rapid succession. Then by admitting 'your townies' had voted for another player you jumped on a bandwagon, which i see as very loose play. By doing that you 'won over' a cheap sort of allegiance with these players, you seem to be trying to foster some surface level friendships with these players and then persecute me for not quickly jumping between 'bandwagons'. My vote on AcesAnoka was reasoned and explained and you've belittled it with this style of play. Yes, Veriat was mafia. Yes, i didn't change vote quickly. Is it more suspect to change votes quickly just before lynch time if you've explained your stance in great detail previously? I feel my style has been efficient in gathering information on players. I also feel that had i changed quickly you would have found me suspicious also. I was going to change votes in due course and i did, which was explained in my posts which you never seem to comprehend.
You worry me, you don't read very deeply into the game or into other peoples posts. I have had trouble with many of your responses to questions asked of you in regards to content and your stubborn attitude. I've answered your suspicions of me and you seem very against me. This stubborn attitude should be alleviated and you should read deeper into everyone's posts not just people who don't emerge on your core group of villagers. Please keep your vote on me until you decide with a little more consideration who is Mafia, because i assure you with 100% conviction i am Town, and that i am an asset to the Town.
On a side note that you've said there is a 'core group of villages emerging' with little explanation of this town list (Bar the_zen_man) compared this to the depth your 'explanation' of your vote for me. This could be worrisome as mafia could easily slip into your Town list. Your initial justification of your vote against Veriat was fairly slim which you rectified with some loose quoting, but lynching him wasn't because of your pressure on me. If you create a group of innocents in your mind please dont let this cloud your 'bull in a china shop' analysis of players.
Under the spoiler, there’s a lot of stuff. I personally thought that Golden was leading up to a vote/FOS at this point. Here it is; + Show Spoiler + @WhySoMuch: I am not suspicious of you as mafia. I think you are a very surface level thinking, stubborn and aggressive town. Please explain N1 to me. @People who may consider WhySoMuch suspicious: In his defence, while he may have some contradictory and flip-flop opinions towards the end of day one and had a very strong conviction to get a lynch he was much more active and aggressive than i would expect even of an aggressive mafia....
So Golden took all that typing to get here. WSM is suspicious but don’t be suspicious of him because we shouldn’t be suspicious he's actually unsuspicious? ??? What’s the point of throwing all that guesswork “re-read this analysis” around, if there was no point to it? I asked Golden to clarify his stance on WSM, but he never did. I think this is scummy, because what's the point? A vote or FOS would force WSM (or others) to defend at the very least. But all it does is pull the reader in a circle, and Golden can stick with a safe read.
2)Then there's this; + Show Spoiler +On May 01 2012 11:23 O.Golden_ne wrote:@marvellosity regards to your discussion with WhySoMuch: Show nested quote +On May 01 2012 10:36 marvellosity wrote: As it appears I will fail in my bid to make you see common sense, I shall stop this back and forth with you. The worst part for me is that i get a town read from him, i've wasted a lot of my input trying to get his head in the game. Thoughts...Here are some queries i have before i do another mind-splurge on this thread. 1. Nreekay324You posted a decent argument against Jailbreaker in a spoiler on your D1 Summary post. Nreekay324's FilterWhat would it take to change your vote from AcesAnoka (marvellosity) in the same post, to Jailbreaker? I feel like your argument against Jailbreaker looks stronger than this one against AcesAnoka (marvellosity): Show nested quote + A number of arguments have been made, and not much to add to them because he hasn’t been posting much. He, like other lurkers, should be pressured D2. What got the successful D1 lynch was from pressuring lurkers (yomi called out veriat for this very reason). We need to keep this up.
2. marvellosity You've shown a much deeper level of perception that AcesAnoka ever did, and it's exactly what you'll need to keep doing to stay in the game. I feel if you can maintain few solid posts with little contradiction you may have earnt your character's standing in the game. You've certainly grilled WhySoMuch on a fair portion of his logic, however i can't help but wonder if this is scapegoating because you do need to establish yourself within the team and he is certainly an unusual character. I have my own thoughts on him which i've shared, and i think he holds a unique position within the group as a finger pointer now that yomi's voice has been nullified. 3. MordanisI want your analysis of Nreekay324's connections to other players. 4. WhySoMuchCan you explain Jailbreakers connections to other players in the group in a list? thx Thank you in advance for your timely responses. Golden.
^This is after marvellosity joins us, before Jailbreaker's lynch. He nudges me to shift my vote to Jailbreaker (using my own argument nonetheless) and then points at people to do stuff. Again, where's his stance on anything? He's just pushing people to make analyses for him to look at so he can chose the best (perhaps, safest?) case to vote for. It seems like he feels he's established himself as a sort of town leader, and doesn't even need to add input at this point. Especially when people are saying stuff like this,

Atm im not sure about you, you haven't posted enough for me to be sure of you.
That seems to me like a town behavior. Also, if i was his "scumbro", wouldnt i support his voting on yomi before? Not vote with him or something, just some few posts about it. And yet i haven't done that. The reason for my defensive stance is beacuse i've had to explain some suspicions on me, not really any more than that. If you read my filter, you would know that.

Both of the votes on AcesAnoka(or at least Yomi's, can't say too much about nreekay324 yet) were not serious. There was never a possibilty of bandwagoning here.

No you wouldn't. Having two people out of a sudden sharing their opinions on a weak case would make you look scummy as hell. It's a common way to play scum, you split your opinions. So this doesn't prove your innocence.

I even said in my post that my case on you and AcesAnoka being scumbros were a weak one. But the fact that you are still seem to think highly of Acec just makes me wonder more. Once again you post a somewhat confused post. It's like you aren't reading the posts well enough because you seem to miss alot of what is happening. You are still being overly defensive imo, which is not standard town play. And you always attack the one who are suspicious of you. First WhySoMuch, then nreekay324 and last me. Have it actually struck you that we might not be suspicious of you because we are scum but rather that we actually think your play is strange? Overall I still think your just town. I don't think your play looks like town, but it doesn't look like scum either. Going to bed now, will be much more active tommorow! You just made an extremely long post criticizing everything that The_Zen_Man had done, You even say that he is being "overly defensive imo which is not standard town play" and yet your conclusion is that he is "just town". How is that possible? Then your last line you say you " don't think his play looks like town, but it doesn't look like scum either", yet you still call him a town. Why are you afraid to call him mafia, you laid out almost a whole case on him and still you think he's town? it doesn't make sense. Also your phrasing of "just town". What do you mean by this? Because while his play was confusing in the start, I strongly felt his motives didn't match the ones of scum. And if he were townie, which I still think although I'm not as certain as I was one day ago, I think he should step up his posting alot.
I mean, I don't know how much I should be reading into this here, but both seem to be pretty upset about being voted/targeted, and they both throw out suspicions at other people. What I'm trying to figure out is, how genuine is Lazer's apologetic post? I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm leaning towards believing it because his this post really felt panicky. Was he panicky for being scum or town or blue, I'm not sure... but I think I'm starting to walk into WIFOM; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) we lynch sexfiend/golden on the strength of my case (and other's suspicions) and that's that 2) we let him off because he isn't golden
Both scenarios are a long way from ideal.
Indeed, but I think 2 is worse, or further from ideal, than 1. The way I see it is the case against the guy before Marv, Aces was that he was a lurker. And although Aces were suspicious, it was agreeable that there wasn't a strong enough case on Aces to pursue Marv (lurking was bad, but it was only the beginning). However, I think the case against golden is pretty solid, AND if we let sexdoll off and golden/sexdoll IS mafia, then we have roughly a day for misguiding/distraction by sexdoll.

Oh, ## Vote: SexDoll
I'll re-examine WSM when I get another block of time, i didn't think i'd get into the last post for so long.
@thezenman- Indeed sexdoll hasn't been with us for that long, but if he went up on your scum reads you should probably try to analyze/ post your thoughts sooner than later. The current argument is really against Golden, and so your thoughts on scumminess of sexdoll could be pretty useful.

EBWOP: @Marv- I dunno if this matters, but as we now know that sexdoll replaced golden, your vote might not register.

Scum in that scenario say stuff like, "Veriat is fine but I prefer Aces." They don't volunteer their bros to get lynched like that.
Oh common, You know people say (the bolded) all the time as m/m.
And as for Golden's vote, I've already said so, but he said "I happy to lynch Veriat" at some point in the day. At that point, he has to vote Veriat every time even if he's m/m with veriat. Because if he doesn't he just outed 2 of the mafia.
You got put in a crappy situation and you're prolly a mafia. Sorry Bro :/[/QUOTE]
the bold part is gross tonewise

Before i thought of him as a good townie, who made some cases and encouraged others to do the same. But his leave from the game is very strange, especially since he left not long after marvellosity said he was compiling a post about him. Also, much of what sexdoll says confuses me. Either he is using advanced logic all the time or he is using fail logic all the time. He has gone up to a big spot in my scum reads. I will wait and observe SexDoll some more before i can form a proper opinion, but for now i can say that i am suspicous of him. [/QUOTE]
nobody else has posted any cases on golden, and the fact that you think im using advanced logic or failed logic shouldn't give you a lean one way or the other, so it's weird that it does.
It seems that ppl are confused about the assumptions I'm making about why Golden did certain things. I can make these assumptions because I know he was a townsperson. My job now is to convince you of the merits for his decisions as a townsperson. I will not be able to conclusively explain why he's a townsperson because I don't know exactly why he did the things he did. I can only guess and try to convince. I'm sure there are logical explanations as to why he would do certain things he did as a scum and all I can do is try to explain why my reasons are more likely.
if my timezone math is correct, night is at 6pm EDT so I'll still be at work. Defending myself anymore probably won't be very useful so I'll spend the rest of the time I can trying to find the last scum.
I'm fully retracting my whysomuch = towny read btw

Finally, he has his own opinion Show nested quote +I have to disagree with WhysoMuch
Lol no it wouldn't make me happy, but the information we gain from it outweighs the negative.
We don't get information from No Lynch because no one dies. The only way we get information is if there is a competing wagon against it, and in that case, that information isn't useful until that said competing wagon dies.
Even if nobody is lynched day1, we still gain a ton of imformation through our discussion. Even as we are discussing now, we are starting to get a picture on peoples view points, and where they stand. Sure we get more information when lynching, because we can start to analyse those who were for and those who were againts the lynch. But saying that no information is gained if we don't lynch is just false. Because we still get to anylase peoples behaviour. Unfortunately, a blanket anti-lynch platform seems very scummy to me. It gains the town nothing to wait and see who the mafia kills given how much time we have been given before the first day ends. If there were absolutely no way to guess who was scum, I'd agree that a no lynch is better than a totally random lynch. However, the first day seems a bit long so that we can have a very good discussion before our decision. + Show Spoiler [confession] +Yes, I have essentially flipped entirely from my earlier stance on lynching. I was however, under the impression that we were almost half-way to the first decision point when I first posted. I will do my best act on better information.
mordanis probably not scum

The_Zen_Man nreekay324 Jailbreaker
The_Zen_Man You're stance on the "lynch no lynch" discussion has left me a little puzzled, and your overall playstyle seem fishy to me, so you're getting my vote.
nreekay324 All your posts just seem off and scummy. Many of them seem rushed or flawed, and you basically just jumped the bandwagon with your early vote on Why_So_Much. On a side note i did find Why_So_Much's playstyle kind of off, but i don't think he's scum, because then why would you vote for him?
Jailbreaker You've my number 3 due to consistent flaws in your previous posts.
how likely is it that veriat puts 3 townspeople in his scum list right before he dies?
this is the only mention he makes of nreeky that I could find in his filter.
he will be the next person i read
