Here's why it doesn't even matter if D1 scumbuddying is WIFOM, though your point does make sense. Let's hypothetically say you and Mordanis are scum. Everyone has you and Mordanis linked in their minds because the two of you were the driving factors behind a townie lynch. We vote to lynch one of you and that player turns up scum. All lines of play for mafia after that should be traceable back to the D1 scumbuddy as long as we have decent analysis.

However, you're still ignoring the main thrust of my post. One of you is town and one of you is mafia. All I'm getting from you is that you're scared because I've made the right assumption.

Let's look at your response to my post:

I think we all need to take a step back and look at the events of D1 a little more logically and less reactively. Why would a scum team both tunnel the same player? The only thing we're sure of is that hegeo flipped town, that doesn't make his analysis correct, anymore than it makes it incorrect. That being said, since Release and Mordanis were the two to put the most pressure on hegeo, I'd like to analyze their play under all possible circumstances.

Mafia + Mafia
Why would a scum team link their names D1 of the game? I think we all agree that Mordanis and Release were the most vocal against hegeo, and that could mean they tunneled him because they saw him as a weak target that they wouldn't get much flak for going against. If they are both scum, this is the most likely explanation of their actions. However, I just don't see a good enough reason for scum to band together on D1. That's a short-sighted play that would come back to bite them in the ass later. Possibility: least likely.

Townie + Townie
If both players were indeed town, an explanation of their actions could be that they just weren't ever satisfied with hegeo's defense. Let's face it, hegeo did not do a good job of defending himself. If he had, I would be the one lynched and he'd still be alive. So far, besides their knee-jerk reactions to hegeo's post, I'd say that they both have had decent, but not great town play. The bad news is, they've both played really scummy ever since hegeo's big reveal. Possibility: still unlikely, but more likely than M + M.

Townie + Mafia
Here's how I think it happened. The townie player felt he had a good case against his percieved scum target, and was encouraged that others felt the same way. The scum player knew he wouldn't be the only one targeted when hegeo flipped town and thus pulled the trigger and kept pressure on him. Worst case scenario for the scum player is a 50/50 situation where both he and the townie player are under pressure. Possibility: most likely situation.

That is my read on last night's events. The good news is I think we have the scum player in the worst possible situation. A 50/50 lynch is still better than a 2/7 lynch. I'm going to go over both Mordanis' and Release's filters to see what kind of a case can be made against them. I've been thinking a lot about these events and I think my analysis is pretty good. Thoughts on this anyone?


Just answering the last part first: 2/7? You really think that a lynch is completely random? Trying to draw the town away from doing a real case on someone like you( who already has a substantial case) so they can get that 50/50 lynch?
Remember D1: we had a 50/50 lynch (in the town's eyes, it was 100/0 because both seemed scummy, but my point is that there were 2 candidates). Stop trying to trick others with the same illusions that Hegeo did; it's what got him lynched.
This is so full of shit and scum.

Mafia + Mafia: No. I have already posted on what the Mafia were actually doing when i was roasting hegeo:
The Mafia were trying to split our attention between two cases (Hegeo vs Milton/ShiaoPi/Solstice). Then you post some WIFOM filler (not a big deal since you actually posted some analysis)
Townie + Townie: Who's been playing scummy since hegeo's reveal? Mordanis knee-jerked, not me.
I posted an analytical response to hegeo's post and why the new guy was playing rather poorly. Also, i was the only one to point out that Hegeo's post mysteriously did not have a #5.
Townie + Mafia: Mordanis and i both had our own separate cases against Hegeo. There was a small overlap, but we had our own ideas, just against the same person. When that happens, it tends to look bad for that person.

Note that i am not refuting either of TT or TM yet, just pointing out the misinformation you are posting.

And so what if we pressured him? He seemed scummy. We're supposed to pressure scummy players. If we didn't, we would have your dream random lynch scenario where a townie is more likely lynched. You would love that wouldn't you?

Your case was the alternative to Hegeo's case. We chose him and we seemed to have forgotten about you. I haven't. If i'm still alive after the day post, you better watch yourself.

##FOS: Milton

It seems you mistook my analysis for a post that was directly pressuring you, which it wasn't. There are a few possible explanations for that: 1. You're mafia and my line of thought is causing you to panic or, 2. you're town and you misunderstood the point of my post. Everything you've been posting seems like a delaying tactic to me. Just give me some time to look through you and Mordanis's filters and let me make my case. Unless you're mafia, then you can keep trying to delay my analysis post, but I'm going to ignore you until the town has my scumread.

I'm going to be reading the filters for a while, so no posts from me for a bit. Right now my top scumreads are:

-ShiaoPi: I think he excuses his scummy play by calling it play style. He came into the game with lurker/defensive play in mind, and only after he realized such play wouldn't cut it did he really get active.

-Release/Mordanis: I'm not sure which one of these is scum, but I'm convinced that one of them used the other to cover their scumminess.

Lastly, I've defended my play here:

@ Golden- You raise several good points, and I will do my best to explain my line of thinking.

First you stated about me:
Show nested quote +
Just to state the facts. His first few points were very summary-esque. I'm wary of these sorts of posts early in game as it means a player can conceal their views and reveal them at a later date when real discussion is happening. It gives the impression that he is contributing whereas he is actually delaying input so to clutter later on.


The intention of my posts was to generate pressure and discussion. This being my first game, I felt that things such as the list I made and the pressure on sciberbia would be viewed as more threatening than they were actually taken. I believe s0Lstice used the term "weaksauce" to describe them, and looking back, I'm going to have to agree with him. In short, I think you're making a big deal out of some town play of mine that was admittedly less than stellar.

The next part of your post states:
Show nested quote +
he moves to pressure s0lstice. (after s0lstice posted, then removed his #FOS) in what i see as a defensive measure under the "rationale" that s0lstice should have continued with his pressure.
it is my opinion that he did this to cement his 'innocence' by 'promoting' a more thorough pressuring in future.

next.

after his accusation of s0lstice (FOR ALTERNATING HIS #FOS TO QUICKLY) do you know what he does? His next post in his filter is moving his defensive #FOS against s0lstice (quite hypocritically i might add) onto another player (ShiaoPi).


This next part is actually kind of funny, it was a reading comprehension error on my part, a reading comprehension error of his reading comprehension error. I thought it was crazy how flimsy his FOS was, I feel a bit stupid now that I realize what he was saying. Essentially, I did the exact same thing to him that he did to me.

As for the last part of your post towards me:
Show nested quote +
he avoids his next suspicion (ShiaoPi) and jumps on a bandwagon of voting against Mufaa. (which i'm fine with, except for the context its in)

I feel that Miltonkram's play is quite scummy.


I want you to know that I am still gunning for ShiaoPi. I hope we don't have to lynch Mufaa, but he needs to know that my vote for him will stand until he starts posting or I think he'll get modkilled/replaced. Right now, I'm going to continue pressuring ShiaoPi. Even if we don't lynch him today, our late game will be much better if we can get him to post something other than his wishy-washy defensive play.

If you still have a problem with my defense that's fine. Quite honestly, I'm kind of expecting to get lynched tonight anyway. Maybe when/if I get lynched it will be for the best and people will actually take my accusations seriously, but I'm going to continue to play the best I can no matter what. I'll be back in a little while.

Alright town, this is the first of my two reads on the players that were gunning for hegeo:

Release

He started the game fairly aggressive out of the gate. He showed he was willing to pressure people, almost too willing, because I was starting not to take his pressure seriously. Other than that he did his best to cut through the generic fluff questions that sometimes bog down early newbie games (Lynch v. no-lynch? Should we roleclaim early? etc.). True, some of the stuff he posted was fluff, such as this,
+ Show Spoiler +
First bold: Logical, a bit obvious, but should be stated.

Second bold: Are you saying that townies will always show townie posts? This is certainly not the case. Townies can and do make mistakes, which is probably the cause of 99% of mislynches in mafia. Honest =/= True. For example, if you are being "honest" in this post, you have clearly made a "mistake." Is that to suggest that you are Mafia?

A better word for "mistake" in this context is "slip", and i advise people to use slip in the future because it more accurately denotes what a bad mafia would do.

but almost all his other content early D1 seems like aggressive townie play to me.

Moving on to N1/D2:
There are two scummy actions from him. First, he brings attention back on me. If he's mafia, it's because I'm an easy target that he won't get much flak for targeting. If he's town, it's because he doesn't want the town to forget my case in the commotion. There's no sense reading too much into it. Everyone thinks I'm scum and a healthy town environment shouldn't let me crawl between the floorboards. His second scummy action was in response to my post

I think we all need to take a step back and look at the events of D1 a little more logically and less reactively. Why would a scum team both tunnel the same player? The only thing we're sure of is that hegeo flipped town, that doesn't make his analysis correct, anymore than it makes it incorrect.

which seems like it could be a delaying tactic, keeping me from following his case based on my assumptions. Since I didn't outright state my goal with that post, (to lay a foundation for the analysis I'm doing now) I will give him the benefit of the doubt. He could very well have mistook the intention of my post. I post this now because if Release is scum, these are a few points of play that look scummy to me. It is important that we continue to keep an eye on him.

The most important part of the post I'm making now is right here: I can't make a strong case for Release being mafia, but I'm confident I can make a case against Mordanis. I've been reading through his filter for the past couple hours, and I've made decent headway into my analysis of his actions. Once again, I believe one of the duo (Release, Mordanis) is scum. I'm pretty sure Mordanis is the scum half of that duo based on what I've read in his filter. My next post will include my full accusations against him.

Damn, I'm getting called into work on my day off.

@ s0Lstice- I think your post has merit, but I will need to re-read it a few times to make sure it holds up.

My accusations of Mordanis are only half complete. I will finish them after I get back from work and before I go to sleep. Also, where the hell is skware? I hope we didn't replace a lurker just to get another one.

This is part two of my analysis. The subject today:

Mordanis


Analysis of his D1 play:
The back and forth between Release and Mordanis at the start of D1 has been well documented. It ended well, pushed through discussion of town policy pretty quickly, and got us scumhunting about as fast as could be hoped. The only thing people may have missed was this little gem.
---snip
First off, let me say that I'm glad for your early FOS. I was trying to think of a way to get the ball rolling and I just couldn't figure out how to do it. Let me try to clear up any confusion now though ^^

The reason I mentioned the last game I played is because it was the only game I've ever played before. To me it seems that referencing my only experience is quite logical. If it doesn't seem logical, I apologize! My reference was only a way for me to explain what I thought and why.

Note the weak tone he takes with Release. He first thanks Release for the FOS. I see possible townie and scummy motives for this move. Scummy because he thinks overtly welcoming suspicion will lessen the pressure on him, or townie because the FOS really did help move forward discussion. Either way it's a weird play. The really good part is his apology. Let's think, what does he have to apologize for? Why would he apologize for this?-->+ Show Spoiler +
So my last game began with a discussion of whether to vote or not that wasn't very productive. We got lucky and scored a good D1 lynch, but it felt very, well, luck based. So I'll start this out by saying that if we don't lynch today, we'll probably be in a really shitty situation. In short, I am for a vote today. Also, it's good to be working together with Golden again! For Liquidia!

Is this day cycle going to be an extra couple of hours? I only ask because it was in my first game and I'd like to make sure what the situation is. Thanks
Sure it was a pretty fluffy post, but so are most posts at that point in the game. Being apologetic doesn't really help anything. To me, an apologetic tone doesn't communicate much beyond a desire to be removed from scrutiny, a desire that most scum have.

Next let's take a look at the times Mordanis's emotions come into play:
What were the circumstances of Mordanis's first emotional response to something? Sciberbia had posted this
+ Show Spoiler +
My thoughts on Mordanis's accusation of hegeo:

Your primary accusation and most tangible peace of evidence is that hegeo's first post was 10 minutes after Milton called out the three people left to post. I don't find this very inciminating. If hegeo was mafia and worried about looking like a lurker, he'd just have posted a fluffy sorta "hi all" first post, similar to Milton, solstice etc. If he's mafia and not that worried about looking like a lurker, why would he panic so much? It just doesn't make much sense to me. If you were mafia, would you watch the thread, wait until someone calls you out as lurking, and then post 10 minutes later? Seems dumb. I see where you're coming from, and I agree it's a bit fishy, but I guess I'm just more willing to believe it's a coincadence than you are. And I liked the actual content of his first post.

Mordanis, your statement about working with Golden struck me strangely as well. I was expecting someone to comment on it. And it makes sense that he would criticize you because you had just accused him. Doesn't seem odd to me. His defense is a litte weird, but I don't find it particularly scummy.

I'm really not quite sure what to make of his post about Release. I could see him posting it as either town or mafia.

Also, you say that he isn't helping scumhunt, but he just assembled some evidence against shiaopi.

Personally, I would be willing to vote for hegeo if it was between that and no-lynch, but I think we have better options. I don't really have a read on hegeo. I'll think about it more tomorrow if he's still in contention for lynching.

I encourage everyone to weigh in as we have have quite a few accusations.

which amounted to questioning the reasoning behind Mordanis's pressure on hegeo, to which Mordanis responds
@Sciberia
IDK how many games you've played, but this is not a very high level game. It is not even remotely inconceivable that an inexperienced mafia could panic, and then make an excuse for why he acted that way. I also included a fair amount of analysis of his posts, which seemed scummy to me. Compare my post to Hegeo's accusation of ShiaoPi. I have one solid fact and a lot of solid analysis. Hegeo just points out that ShiaoPi has a lot of filler content. Usefull information, but not very deep analysis. Also, I was posting that as much to generate discussion as much as to gather support for a lynch. It's early on in the game, but if we don't start throwing some accusations around then we'll be mired in inactivity, while the mafia picks us off one by one. And I don't see anyone you are considering lynching in your post.

About Golden, I played with him in our last game. It's nice to see a familiar face. That's the only reason why. Basic human needs and such.

The last four lines are jumbled between what I said and what other people said. I didn't understand them. If you'd clarify I'd love to comment on them as well.

One final thing: I think the whole passive-aggressive thing needs to end. I understand that you don't want to be lynched (neither do I), but just being angry at one person for the sake of being angry doesn't help anything.

with a decent, but not great rebuttal of sciberbia's points. How did he perceive anger in sciberbia's post? What does calling the post "passive-aggressive" accomplish him? One thing it does is draw attention away from the actual content of sciberbia's post (calling Mordanis's case on hegeo based too much on coincidence) and brings it onto the emotional elements of the two players posting. The second case of Mordanis's emotion is in response to hegeo after hegeo (badly) tries to defend himself. Still hegeo's defense wasn't completely terrible. I think Mordanis once again saw information in a post that didn't fit in with his plan and thus distracted from it by simplifying the offending post and calling it passive-aggressive. This does two things, in the mind it amplifies the passive-aggressive parts of what hegeo had written and lessens the importance of any logical points hegeo may have made.

Final point on Mordanis's play:
This point may be circumstantial, and I believe Release may have already made it. Forgive me if that's the case, I'm incredibly tired and I want to get some sleep. Mordanis pointed out hegeo's play first, but Release was the first to actually vote for hegeo. Think about it from a scum's perspective, pointing out a non-contributing or suspicious player is great to gain townie cred, but being the first to vote for a townie seems like it will bring intense scrutiny. This may be approaching WIFOM, but at this point I'm so tired I just hope my points make sense. Thoughts on this town? Any explanations for your play Mordanis?

EBWOP: Obviously the knee-jerk after hegeo's big reveal seemed pretty scummy. The one thing that's causing me pause about my case after all this is Mordanis's last big post. You all know the one, the really, really long one with all the spoilers. Skimming it I didn't think it was very good. Actually reading through it, I think Mordanis makes some damn good points, and I'm not sure whether they fit in with the picture I have of him. Maybe the picture will fit together in the morning when I have my head on straight. Night all, I'm finally going to sleep.

@ Golden
Is that your defense? If I may, let me sum it up. You think your scumhunting style is simply different than everyone else. Apparently you don't see the point of pressuring multiple people. Everything else is wishy-washy filler in your first statement. In your second statement, you claim scum is taking pressure off themselves by focusing on you and calling your content filler.

Let me refute your statements. If you only ever pressure one person, how do you know who the other scum is? Tunneling one player does not give the town all the information it needs. You also conveniently ignore the main point brought against you by s0Lstice and Mordanis. You have only pressured people who already have pressure on them. You haven't brought new information to the table. Why? If you're calling that play style, I'd say you have a pretty scummy play style. In regards to your second point, if you are town of course mafia is deflecting pressure onto you. That's an easy assumption to make and it's no substitute for a strong defense. Overall, I'd say your defense is absurdly weak.

@s0lstice.

1. Scumhunting: You're saying that i havent been searching for scum? I've read as much of this thread as you have. Are you saying that i'm not scumhunting because i have focussed on a single player instead of flipping between several all the time. Accusing everyone? It's my opinion that there are different roles of town, and not every town needs to be flinging shit at everyone. Whether or not Release is a town, he's been doing this just fine. I initially got a town vibe from him but because of the Mordanis/Release link i'm still uncertain of his loyalty. I digress.

2. Accountability: yes i must admit i did plan on posting a more in depth post on the issue. And in hindsight its very stupid i didnt because now my case i easily tainted if i was on the right track. eg. if YOU s0lstice and milton were mafia this is a perfect deflection, "omg, where is your argument on milton.. you must be making filler"

if you were to pick me for accountability can i point you to this filter:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=337671&user=154712
if anyone should be accountable it should be Mufaa's replacement. he has a total of 4 very small posts. perhaps there is a reason mufaa wasn't modkilled.

my argument on Milton still stands. i should be online for a little longer.

We need to come to a consensus on skware quickly. We have less than 5 hours until deadline. skware is a pure policy lynch at this point, we simply don't have enough information to make a case for him or against him. Since he stated that he likely won't be back until after the deadline we need to plan for the worst case scenario, that he won't make it back in time.

We don't gain much info from him if he flips either way, under that line of reasoning he could very well be scum. Thoughts?

Golden's defense does not satisfy me, and that leads me to believe he's having difficulty figuring out a way to defend his actions. With that in mind

##Vote: O.Golden_ne

If we decide that skware is the policy lynch I will switch my vote to him. Mordanis, I want to hear a defense from you, otherwise I will consider switching my vote to you.

S0Lstice, I see what you're saying, and the fact that I'm a little unsure on Mordanis is why I haven't voted him until I hear a defense. Golden's case looks more concrete, plain and simple. In defense of my point though, look at the situations Mordanis's emotions come up in. They just seem a bit too strategic to me.

Also, I really want to get the skware situation decided quickly. What are your thoughts on it? Let's get this out of the way now so we can focus on solid cases again.

@ Release- I'll post a full defense when I get the time/if I'm still alive, but there are a few points where your logic is sadly lacking.

---snip
If you don't believe hegeo was scum, don't vote him. But you seem keen on joining the bandwagon for him. Also, no analysis here: so you don't have to defend yourself against false analysis and to claim that you just want a majority vote.

This is pure bullshit. Why would I want the town to mislynch me? The only two cases with real weight behind them at the time were mine and hegeo's. I didn't think hegeo's case was great, but with the town so divided, voting for him was still better than a no-lynch. There was still the possibility in my mind that he was mafia so why take actions, such as not voting for him, that would automatically get me lynched? If my play was good town play, I would vote for hegeo. If my play was good scum play, I would vote for hegeo. This holds no water.

---snip
A vote on Golden as well as some random talk about lynching Skware. Like with mufaa, we don't need to worry about Skware until he disappears and probably gets modkilled.

Then, you make a sentence which essentially gives you an opportunity to jump on a Mordanis bandwagon, should it start.

I thought Golden's case was the more likely one. Do I wish I'd voted on Mordanis now? Hell yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Golden's play and his defense were seriously lacking.

Also, why would you assume that skware is getting modkilled when he's posted and he's voted? He's not getting modkilled therefore we actually have to pay attention to him. That's why I posted what I did. We've put off a lurker lynch for two days and it's coming back to bite us in the ass. If he's mafia, we've let him off the hook for two days in a row. I don't think it's bad play to assume he counted on that.

Your case against me is a good deal worse than many of the cases you've made in the past. I don't really understand it but I will do my best to refute it when I have the time.

@ Release- Just got home from work, I will spend the next part of my time mounting a defense before I get some sleep. Hopefully this will lay the issue to rest. The problem with my situation is that any contributing action I take gets interpreted as "Hey, that's exactly what scum would do trying to look like they're town." I hope you understand how frustrating that is.

@ Mordanis- I guess that's why Lynch All Lurkers is a policy. I don't know what we're supposed to do about skware now with the game on the line.

Spoilered because it's mostly sentiment

One or two helpful posts from him yesterday could have really helped, or maybe explained a lot about his vote for Release. Shot-in-the-dark lynch just doesn't seem like a good way to possibly end the game. Coping with this situation has got me feeling really bummed out. Skware, if you actually read this I hope you contribute today. Is your best idea of contribution really four short posts and a (bad) vote? Mafia is already a difficult game without you lurking like crazy.

I'm really sorry guys, but my brain just isn't working. I just read through what I typed and it has so many spelling errors and bad sentences that I'd feel really stupid if I submitted it. Between work and class I haven't had much time for the game in the last however many hours. I'll have it in soon!

Get online and stay online for the thirty minutes before the deadline. I don't give a shit if you have to tell your boss you're taking a shit or having to set an alarm for the middle of the night. Get online.

@ Release- Amen to that. At least there's something we can agree on.

For this lynch I've gone entirely back to square 1. I'm trying to let go of all assumptions I've made so far, they certainly haven't helped me this game.

As far as I can tell there are a couple of possible scenarios. A Mordanis/ShiaoPi scum team makes the most sense to me. Both made some strange plays D1, ShiaoPi with the defense of his game play and Mordanis with his "emotions." However, all that depends entirely on skware not being mafia.

If, and this is a big if, skware's lurking has been intentional a few possibilities emerge. From a pure game plan standpoint it would make sense for scum to have one player lurk and one player be really active. If that's the case, scum teams of Release/skware or Mordanis/skware make sense. I need to read over the filters with this line of thought in mind. I'll post again when I think I have the answers.

Right now, all we can do is to keep a placeholder vote on Skware.
##unvote
##vote Skware

i am scum
+ Show Spoiler +
Bet you never red that in mafia before.

@ Release, I'm assuming that's a joke. It is pretty funny, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. There is a reason lynch all liars is a policy though, so try and make sure it's obvious that you're joking in the future.

After looking through the filters, every possible scum pair that makes sense besides Release/skware involves Mordanis. Mordanis/ShiaoPi makes sense. Mordanis/skware makes sense. Release if you're scum I tip my hat to you. If that's the case, you've certainly fooled me.

##Vote: Mordanis

Oh duh. I see what you meant there. Just for the record if skware does come online and explain his play I will support a lynch of Mordanis.
