Yup here are some reads. With BC's flip I'm now sold that cephiro is mafia. I'm still feeling great about a prplhz lynch as well as a sandroba lynch. I still have bad feelings about syllo and palmar although with the amount of great targets we have right now I'd like to kill them first and then move on to finding the others. I think wiggles might also be mafia, but again I'm more concerned with cleaning up what we've got in front of us right now.
What are your thoughts? Original Message From BloodyC0bbler: Given that both sandro and syllo are unlynchable then obviously that leaves prpl. Original Message From BloodyC0bbler: prpl or sandro. Neither has done sweet fuck all given all the suspicion that was on both of them and yet both are ignored for 0 known reason today. Instead people who are actively speaking out against them are the lynch targets. Seems very very very fishy. If i had to choose anyone other than those 2 currently it would be syllo for his post guarenteeing that sheth was scum (it shows an absolute opinion) that he has not shown on any of his other reads, yet he is not pushing that read. Original Message From Cephiro: Apology accepted. Show nested quote +Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: Well then I have no vested interest in trying to save you. I'll be in touch if you make it through the day, if you're town I'm sorry I didn't trust you more. If you're scum gj on fooling me for a couple days. Original Message From Cephiro: I may not agree with your choice of target, and my powers aren't available for sale, so I am sorry, as is, I'll have to turn that offer down. Keep the worth of your opinion, and try to wake them up to reality before it's too late. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: If you can guarantee me that the target of my choice will die tonight then I'll get back in the game for you. I don't particularly care about my own life as town, if I die it'll serve the greater purpose. What I don't want to happen is my opinion becomes worthless. Original Message From Cephiro: I won't need luck for this, because there are townies that aren't total retards, unfortunately they are a very small minority. -_- Anyway, it's your decision. If I would happen to die though (which I doubt), my flip will make anyone that trusted in me look better. I understand that you're too scared for your own life considering the block that exists. I'm just so fucking frustrated now, some retards take control since the start and almost all townies just blindly follow. -.- I wish I could just blow up 10 people at once. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: You shouldn't have posted what you did either wtf were you thinking, I'm gonna have to cut you loose, I can't sell my soul on the chance you're a vigi. Good luck fighting this lynch on your own, you're gonna need it. Original Message From Cephiro: You should not have posted that post ._. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: I'm gonna give it to you straight, you're actually in a bit of trouble. There is a rather substantial block which wants you dead asap. It's too large to be all scum, my guess is they've got a dt who's checked one of them which has increased their trust level. The fact that you brought up BC is a problem as well because I've heard from a few people that he's been super defensive of you and you of him. I really need to know that I can get you confirmed the second the night is over. Original Message From Cephiro: I should have no problem surviving today, especially if Sheth gives me those full 5 votes. We'll have to see how the situation goes on, I think if possible we should save BC as well. Some of those are just so damn hopeless and can't see the scum is just herping and derping and doing whatever they want. At no point have they done that much to be considered as obvtown, but all time I see everyone just listening to Palm+syllo+gonzaw+wbg etc, frustrating. -_- Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh:
we're in a slight jam since most of the people I wanted to die ended up in the majority. I'm gonna make sure you don't get lynched but it''s gonna cost me a lot of political capital I've built up in the thread. I'm gonna need your vigi shot guaranteed at either sandroba or syllogism so that we'll be able to recover our reputations after today.
Basically you need to get confirmed via your shot. Original Message From EchelonTee: ......... I really hope you're not the DT and that you claimed to Cephiro. Even if you checked him and got back green, GFs? Framers? =/ If you know the real DT, ffs keep it secret, even from me or anyone else you think is town. You never know about leaks or dingus players like Cephiro. There might be 3rd party I admit, but I really don't know how to recognize the signs of one. I have 0 experience with 3rd parties. If you think that explains Palmar's play, then maybe it's a lead. Lemme know about BC. It pains me because often if only one lynch can reach a general consensus, it's often a mislynch, while controversial lynches yield more info (Ver's guide), BC is the best lead we got atm. Show nested quote +Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: idk, it says a third party might be present in the OP and it's the only reason I could see Palmar acting like this. Anyway I'm in a bit of a transition period right now. You might be in the process of being the person I most believe is town, depending on how some things turn out. I think I may be able to support a BC lynch, I'll know more once people PM me back and I get a better sense of who's supporting who behind the scenes. Original Message From EchelonTee: You really think there's a 3rd party? with 6 scum, that's already a potential 12town vs 6mafia, even if mafia is split. A 3rd party just makes it crazier for town. Syllo is looking worse as time goes on. He sent me this weird PM with subject line "Hi are you town": Original Message From syllogism:
Because if you are, all you have to do is cooperate with us. I can guarantee you that we will keep lynching mafia pretty much every day as long as we've enough votes to control who gets lynched. If you are town, there is no reason not to take this over. wth am I supposed to make of this? "listen to us or die. I'm definitely town trololol" -.- he has made almost no substantiated pushes or plans all game except for "i sheep palmar kthxbai" and "les kill sandroba cuz he lurk trolol". Syllogism is a strong, effective scumhunter as town. I don't see any of those traits. However about this cycle, I feel good about the BC lynch. We need scum dying, and with Foolishness, Palmar, and Syllo all on him, I can't believe that all 3 of those are scum pushing a mislynch. Obviously that doesn't exonerate any of them in the slightest, but it's a decent step forward to regaining town momentum. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: I feel good about Cephiro for today, he's not going to die. Gonzaw is being an idiot although that doesn't give me much about his alignment. About syllo, he PM'd me asking for my answer (which is super scummy), in response I sent that thing claiming mafia for teh lulz. I think there's a good chance he's scum, I think Palmar is 3rd party and claimed it to syllo which started their little circlejerk thing they've got going. Original Message From EchelonTee:
Hey,
have you been in PM contacts with Cephiro? How townie do you think he is? TBH I like gonzaw's case on him, and though gonzaw has been tunneling like a retarded lemming, I find gonzaw townie and Cephiro scummy. However I have been pming Cephiro and admittedly he has been open. I agree that Cephiro is not the best lynch for today, but I have trouble seeing him as "obvious townie" as some people have affirmed.
In other news, what was up with the exchange between you and syllogism? Syllogism's recent activity has been downright bad, with the whole "let's RNG but tell me the votes kthxbai" plan in particular being strange. Was he scummy in PMs with you? There's something fishy in the Palmar+syllogism circle, especially since that summation of town talent should be sniping scum and making good plans, not fear mong, spread hate, and in general be assholes.

Original Message From Liquid`Sheth: I have a vote. That is it. Bleh Syllo seems to be really strongly against me for pretty much no reason. Even before he started against me I just thought he was playing it weirdly. Bleh;; I don't want to have to fight someone like syllo or palmar.

Btw I watched your stream a bit yesterday, gj :D Original Message From Liquid`Sheth: /nod :D Do you want to be friends? I'm not really friendful in this game. I've kinda felt isolated, but its probably because I'm not talking too much. Geuss its my own fault. Cephiro hasn't talked with me like I expected though so now I'm slightly worried.

I have to be honest with you, the only people I'm really certain about are prplhz/sandroba. I really don't have anyone who I'm sure is town, it's all shades of gray. I'm thinking syllo has a really good chance of being scum as does rad's replacement and I'm fairly certain Palmar is third party.

Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: You ask so much -_- If I had to guess families I'd put wiggles/sandroba in one family and syllo/prplhz in another. I really don't know where to put the third.

Original Message From Cephiro: Here I go posting in the thread by mistake, derp -_- But yeah, I'm fairly sure even if I would happen to land in the majority I would not die. The thing is, I would like to see a few people from yesterday's minority in today's majority. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: Well you're not dying today even if you're in the majority. Palmar/Syllo lost a lot of thread power, there's really no thread leader atm so I'm going to try and take that for a little while and see where it goes.

And yeah, I'll try to minimize my bantering with him. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: I'm on my itouch but when I'm back on my comp I'll give you everything I have which isn't a lot sadly. Gonzaw is an idiot, please don't engage him. Original Message From Cephiro: We were a bit, not very seriously though. I could see there is a small chance that you could be scum, especially because you tried to get ensured of my vigi-ness, but you're so much more towny that even if you were scum I wouldn't want to kill you yet. Original Message By Ace:
not thinking about him at all. just a fly trying to buzz on my honey jar. / Gonzaw Also, he said chaos seems more useful than Palmar & syllo. However even in PM land he wasn't being too serious with me, but I am not surprised of that at all. If you wish to share any information/opinion Ace talked out with you, then it's much appriciated. Original Message From Mr. Wiggles: I just don't post much during the night, unless I have a reason to. What are your thoughts like right now? What do you think of BC? You didn't reply to my last PM, so we kind of stopped communicating. Original Message From BloodyC0bbler: I understand how you can view me the same way as him and tbh I also to a degree expect that. However I feel I have overall been more consistent in my mannerisms. As for prpl and cephiro I agree with you completely. I have read ceph's posts and talked to him via pms and he seems far less likely than most of being red. Sandroba was what would have been an easy lynch however since his "return" from his day that he was busy he has yet to do anything that has led me to believe he actually cares about the game aside from say "im confirmed town cause no one defended me / i was busy so its ok i wasn't here" Which is the same level of apathy that I expect from the scum level of sandro. He could still be insanely bitter from his treatment after SS but I don't think he would become like he is. I am happy to see I am not the only one who doesn't trust the palmar/syllo team. Show nested quote +Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh: Ok, thank you. I have no idea about katina, you may be right, more likely I'll just deal with it if Katina is ever in the majority. Foolishness I can understand as well, however both of you have had abysmal thread presence so I really don't know how much of foolishness's behavior is because he's mafia or because he just doesn't want to die night one. In all honesty I feel the same about you. I'm fairly certain Ace isn't mafia. However none of these players really matter at the moment. I'd rather hear what you have to say about prplhz, cephiro, and sandroba. As I posted in the thread, I think prplhz is mafia, I also think cephiro is town. I've listened to others for the most part when it comes to sandroba. I'd be happy to have him dead because I've seen him play scum like this. The only thing that makes me hesitant is that Palmar/Syllo also want him dead and I don't trust either of them. Original Message From BloodyC0bbler: Strong read of mafia on Katina as I have already mentioned more than once. Reasons have already been stated in thread. Foolishness strong read as well. Why? Because he made a case on someone only to dump it to pursue 2 other people who were far easier lynches. He provided no real reason as to why he changed his mind and then proceeded to put votes onto the person he had analyzed as mafia to keep said person alive. Factor in Katina is his protege and has ignored her shifty behaviour leads me to believe he is infact red. Ace is clearly playing in his own best interest and has not shown any solid leanings to help town solidly not done anything actively that would be a "mafia goal" as such I believe that if there is a third party it is likely him given current information. As for the rest of the minority list it is clearly possible that one of syllo or palmar is red but as of yet I am unsure of which. Original Message From Meapak_Ziphh:
I'd love to know your two reads. Since you seem somewhat reticent to post them in the thread why don't you PM me. Original Message From Katina: Not stalling at all. I haven't read the thread yet but my opinion of Prplhz is that he is being inactive and that's not sitting well with me. Ace is dead, didn't think he was Mafia to begin with. Cephiro I'm not sure about, I have to go back and look at him. BC I think is Mafia, he has been throwing around accusations and picking on the easy targets until recently after he got called out on it. I have to go back and reread though. PM's with Foolishness Show nested quote +Original Message From Foolishness: Kinda? He sort of did in LI. I would need to look closer to be absolutely sure. Don't you think VE buddy buddying up to people is a bit out of character for him? Seems more likely that he would be actively pointing fingers and trying to get stuff done. Original Message From Katina: Does VE buddy up when he's mafia? Original Message From Foolishness: Not really no. Though time will only tell for sure. As I told you I'd be fine with any of VE, chaoser, bugs, Palmar dying. I'm glad VE is actually trying to mafia hunt but he's too buddy buddy with everyone this game -_- Original Message From Katina:

I want them now. Show nested quote +Original Message From Foolishness: Yes there will be challenges convincing people. However this is the difference between killing who we want to kill and random people dying. If the votes are structured in a way then one person cannot screw everything up. Say there are 11 people up for lynch. We want to kill one person. We have 18*5 = 90 votes to work with. Spread them out between 10 people and you got 9 votes per person. So if one person tries to deviate by piling their votes on they won't be successful. Getting a way to get those 9 votes per person is easy enough. Just a matter of finding a person to kill really (yes I realize there are big problems with that lol) Original Message From Katinaa: I agree that there needs to be structure in the votes. Getting everyone to follow the plan will be a challenge considering the mafia players and how convincing they (or you) are. One person can completely screw everything up. Original Message From Foolishness: Yes because there needs to be accountability. The town as a whole has to agree on someone to kill. Of course there will be people who disagree with the choice, which is fine. But deviating from the vote plan would be more chaotic. We can structure the votes in such a way that no one on their own can deviate to try to save someone. This is because we have more people voting than there are lynch candidates. Original Message From Katinaa: Do you really think that shooting is the appropriate way to go about it? There's always the possibilty of taking out a mislead townie. Original Message From Foolishness: foam* There needs to be an accurate way to distribute votes during the second round to ensure that the person we want to kill actually dies. Some sort of system needs to be established. What I have in mind is the following. We first pick who we want to kill (say it's just one person for simplicity). We then figure out how to distribute the votes to ensure that that person is actually lynched. If someone deviates then we shoot them. Original Message From Katinaa: Not really at the moment. The game just started, I am a mere observer sir. I have my scum hunting goggles on with a foam finger in my other hand. You? Original Message From Foolishness: It will become clear in due time I promise. Do you have any thoughts about the game, such as how to cast the votes (particularly during round B since that's most important)? Original Message From Katinaa: I don't believe you.

idk who you're planning on voting for but I was wondering if you could throw a vote or two my way. Original Message From EchelonTee: So you prefer PMs to motbob right? I'll respond to you here. I think your case is pretty comprehensive and I agree with a lot of the 2nd half of it. Especially how prplhz hasn't been scumhunting and stuff. I don't know about the meta part of your argument (I bet people will go blah blah meta and ignore the 2nd part of your arguement), because the scum game you mentioned was a crazy themed game, and this game is also a themed game. I think part of the equation that needs to be mentioned is what has prplhz been doing in PM land. In the last game I played with prplhz, Space Station Mafia, it was a PM game and prplhz literally posted nothing. I tried to use this to mislynch him (I was scum), but it turned out he was doing somethings in PM land. If prplhz has been pro-townie in PMs, that shouldn't be ignored. Do you know anyone who has been PMing with him? However, of note is that in this game he has been actively lurking, not just plain ol lurking. As in he posted little tidbits here and there (as you noted) that make it seem like he is contributing, but not really doing much. And since he was around to post those tidbits, he could've posted more if he wanted to. I would be down with killing him. The problem though is that he currently has 6 claimed votes: 1 from Palmar, 1 from VE, and 4 from chaoser. Unless chaoser didn't send in his votes, the chance of prplhz dying today is slim to none. If you can't get prplhz dead, would you be ok with VE dying? What do you think of chaoser piling votes on him with no reasoning? Show nested quote +Original Message From Motbob is great:
I'll PM you! how are you and what do you think about killing prplhz? Original Message From Mr. Wiggles: How else would you propose to vote this phase then? Everyone's quick to jump on my idea and bash it, but I haven't seen anyone suggest their own system yet. Realistically, I think this is going to end up with people voting whoever they want, which in my mind will cause just as much, if not more, chaos. By people just doing whatever they want, we get a random chance for who's in the majority or minority, as well their sizes. I don't like the idea of scum being able to make themselves safe, because I'm calling it now, anyone who gets into the minority is instantly going to have any suspicion on them dissipate, as they can't be lynched. This gives them a whole cycle before anyone can even think of lynching them, and I think it's going to make actually killing scum with the lynch a whole lot harder, since people will give up their cases, and pressure will instantly disappear.

Ahh well, at least I've been immortalized in a screen shot lolol. Thankfully his excellency motbob let me make a smurf haha. Anyway, I guess I'll be blunt. I really don't like your idea of having everyone advance to the next round. It really makes a lot of chaos and imo would create a really easy situation for scum to influence the vote. Original Message From Mr. Wiggles:
How's it going? I see you got temped in the ABL :p Original Message From Foolishness: Yes I agree. Though remember that all the vote information will be published at the end of the day. So we will know who voted where everytime. The first few days will be clusterfucks for sure. It's not until there are a few people alive where round A really matters. Show nested quote +Original Message From Motbob is great: Well I'll look into it if I get my shit finished. I have a 3 hour break during school so if I get everything done I can go play mafia in the library lol. Anyway, I had this thought while I was in the shower, it's pretty much guaranteed that there will be half of the mafia on one side and half on the other in the beginning of the game. Even though there's two teams, I don't see anyone in this game as suicidal enough to put more of their members on one side or the other. It's with this in mind that I don't think we should ever publish which side we pick (for round A). It's a rare case where the town can withhold information from the mafia. Perhaps latter in the game this will change, but atm I think it's best if everyone withheld that info. With this in mind, when we get to round B we can really have a chance to narrow down our targets. Original Message From Foolishness: Yes, I know deciding on who to kill is like a huge problem in itself x.x It might be worth looking into. I am not the kind of person to do that myself, I prefer just looking at past behavior as you know. But activity is always an issue and it's all too easy to lurk as mafia. Though this is a PM game so if someone (me lol) is really inactive in the thread they might be super active in PM land. Might not be the most accurate judge compared to a non-PM game. But in terms of generating discussion to get the ball rolling I totally support it. Original Message From Motbob is great: The hard part here is deciding who to kill, that's the part I was referring to as prevoting. But that aside, we're gonna need some sort of system and this is better than anything that's been proposed in the thread... speaking of the thread, do you think it's worth looking for people who were active on TL up until the point the game started and are now quiet? Original Message From Foolishness: Yes. It's not prevoting. We first decide who we want to kill. Then we can structure the votes in a way to ensure that person gets killed. We have more players voting than there are lynch candidates, which means we can do it in a way to prevent one person from deviating to try to save the person in question. Original Message From Motbob is great: You're saying like have an organized vote and a lynch? I think conceptually it's a good idea, however I'm leery of "prevotes" those have a pretty shoddy track record iirc. The blessing a curse with this system is that a lot of people can die very fast. Original Message From Foolishness: lulz Ace What do you think about the following. We first pick who we want to kill (say it's just one person for simplicity). We then find a way to distribute votes accordingly so that that person is actually lynched. Like everyone just votes for the person under them in the player list (that is up for lynch). Anyone who deviates is immediately shot. Original Message From Motbob is great: Gotta agree with you there, I'm not too keen on Wiggle's plan to control round A, it may seem like a good idea but it's impossible to enforce. You can go against the grain day one and conceivable never get lynched. Plus you'll have players like Ace who will probably go the opposite regardless of his alignment just to show how dumb it is. Original Message From Foolishness:
Glad to see you're still alive.
Got any thoughts about the game? I think town should focus on distributing votes during round B and deciding who to kill. It appears round A will be a clusterfuck day 1 (and probably day 2) so it seems futile to try to organize anything there. Original Message From Liquid`Sheth:
yo meapak,
I claimed to syllogism.
He might be mafia tho
who ar u most worrieedd abot? Original Message From EchelonTee: Hey, can I still PM you here or are you using motbob? I was wondering, why did you switch from thinking I'm townie to not minding killing me? That makes me mildly alarmed. Show nested quote +Original Message From TLMafiaBot: I agree with that. It's been a while but iirc Wiggles makes plans either way so I'm not really reading into his alignment too much. The only thing I'm doing is not calling him insta scum for a bad plan. In terms of my own playstyle I'm usually pretty active but atm I'm trying to conserve posts because I know new accounts have post limits but I forgot what. My plan is to not die the first day then I can be back on my game when I have my real account back, it's a little difficult right now switching back and forth Original Message From EchelonTee: Like you said it's only been a few hours; people are probably away. With it being only limited to TL PMs I don't think the thread should be that dead, especially with the fact that the format of this game demands vigilance. I'm waiting to see if any of the plans are a good idea. To be perfectly honest, I usually regard people who make plans to be more town than not, whether the plan is bad or not, but this works better for newbie players, who often make really bad plans. This is because making a plan in and of itself requires one to be put into spotlight, and to honestly think of how their plan would be considered pro-town, whereas most scum would rather hide, or just shit on other people's plans. I only remember one example of when a plan-maker was scum, and that became obvious because the plan was sort of half baked. Do you know if Wiggles always makes plans whether scum or town? I have never seen your play before. Do you usually play a lurky in-thread style, or is it just because the thread is quiet? Original Message From TLMafiaBot: Well that's in terms of my gut reads three hours into the game of course. I don't necessarily suspect wiggles, he's just one of the players who likes to have a plan, however the contents were terrible. The thread is currently pretty quiet because everyone is playing in PMs right now, I'm trying to think up something that would kick start some activity. Apparently new users aren't allowed enough PMs for mafia... Original Message From EchelonTee: Thanks, though I do not think I have done enough to be considered super townie as of yet. =/ bah you're right, I probably should have questioned Mr. Wiggles or waited to see if people sheeped it. I pm'd some people about him, but just re-reading his posts had me suspicious as fck. How many PMs are new users allowed? Original Message From TLMafiaBot:
Thank you for your post, you're now extremely townie in my mind.
Wiggles plan is pretty bad but I'm trying to see if anyone comes out in support of it. You called it out nicely though so that opportunity may now be gone.
Meapak Original Message From VisceraEyes: We still have to kill someone today. Crucification doesn't come into it. Good luck in class. Show nested quote +Original Message From TLMafiaBot:
Rather than spam up the thread I figure we can take it to PMs. (This is motbob/meapak btw). Scum hunting is great, however you have to realize that not everyone wants to be forthcoming in the beginning of the game. Plus people may not have strong reads yet. I'll tell you this, I'm concerned about Syllo but I'm not gonna go crucify him yet. I don't have a rock solid scum read yet but this far into the game that doesn't concern me.
I have to go to class, I'll catch up later. Original Message From Foolishness: Yeah I agree. Though Wiggles' plan seems legit. By that I mean seems like an honest town effort so far. Show nested quote +Original Message From TLMafiaBot: What a fascinating post by EchelonTea, I wasn't the only one who didn't like Wiggles plan apparently... Original Message From Foolishness: I think the votes published for Round A may help us down the road in figuring things out as well. I don't think we need the confusion here. Round B should be about who we want to kill, not who we want to save. The less people to worry about the easier it will be to kill someone. Original Message From TLMafiaBot:
So anyway to continue our conversation, I think it's good that the votes will be published for round B, that'll at least keep things honest. I also just realized that since there are two scum teams killing a mafia won't insta confirm you :/
Also I think wiggle's plan is actually pretty good for scum because of the confusion it creates. I told him that privately but I'm not gonna denounce it in the thread yet because I want to see if anyone comes raging out in support of it for weak reasons.
They're a bit haphazard but this is as many as I could find. If you have one I missed please post it.

If not, can you send them to wherebugsgo or syllogism or EchelonTee or something like that?
