He says right in the header that he's been working on this the entire time, and presumably wanted to get it in earlier. I wish he would have dropped a quick note to that effect, but it seems like he was pretty engrossed. | ||

It's going to be a busy day at work for me so I'll be out of action until late afternoon/early evening. My plan for then is to have a long look at hegeo's final accusation post and the corresponding defense posts. | ||

1) + Show Spoiler + As far as their early interplay is concerned, Mordanis appears to be the one affected by Release's gravity, and not vice versa. In the early game I see there exchanges as just generating discussion, nothing more. Release and Mordanis both mention this in his defense and I agree that it doesn't look scummy. The "us" that Hegeo mentions I think was meant by Mordanis to mean 'us citizens of liquidia,' as in all players. Why did you not address this in your defense Mordanis? Lastly, I feel the argument that Release and Mordanis, as scum, wanted to be super active to fool people who think that scum aren't active really is definitely WIFOM. I assign no value to it. 2) + Show Spoiler + Hegeo points out a very obvious contradiction in Releases statements. He is spot on here; it is a contradiction, and looks scummy. Can you address this Release? I didn't see it in your defense. The rest has little weight to it in my eyes. 3) + Show Spoiler + I just don't see anything here, except for Release being guilty of some OMGUS. He has been aggressive all game, so I kind of expected it. Release's mistake of 3 mafia, is just that: a mistake. Recognize it for what it is, it's not scummy. If anything, Mordanis may be guilty of a little buddying. Buddying is at worst scummy, and at best detrimental to town. Here I just see it as slightly bad town play. Concerning the two of them not orchestrating their attack on Hegeo, Release and Mordanis both correctly addressed this in their defenses. They both could see what the other was doing, no need to ask. 4) + Show Spoiler + The switch to sciberbia isn't much of a point. Both Release and Mordanis were of like mind on Hegeo, so if someone comments on the case, they will of course both comment on it as they must defend their reads. The name mispelling is weird, to be sure. That said, I know I have almost mispelled it myself. I for one believe the accused explanations here. 5/6) + Show Spoiler + this is a summation of sorts of his argument. He continues on the theme of buddying, but I dont feel he has built an overly strong case for it. Again, Mordanis kind of buddies Release? He accuses Release for being angry at his inactivity. I see this as Release continuing to be aggressive, as he has been all game. There's just not really anything compelling here. I wont address 7, because it is instructions to people who believe his case, which I dont. What I honestly see is aggressive, opinionated, and overtly critical play with Release, and emotional, pack mentality play from Mordanis. Neither is painted as dead red scum to me by hegeo in his accusation post. | ||

At the time, me, milton, mordanis, shiaopi, and solstice were online. Everybody but solstice seemed a bit taken aback at the situation.

My #1 newb fear was confusing blue for red. I find it suspicious that s0sltice was so sure hegeo is town, and had a quick explanation for hegeo's behavior. Only the mafia actually knew for a fact the he was town. I looked through solstice's filter and didn't find anything else I had an issue with, so I'm not prepared to say he is definitely scum, but it really strikes me as something suspcious. Again, just wanted to put it out there in case I die. He says a few times throughout his final accusation post that he sees the deadline approaching as he's writing. He says it again after he posts it. It was clear to him that the lynch was going to happen, but he kept going. He even posted a quick rebuttal against Mordanis just before the lynch happened. There is zero motivation for scum to behave like he did here, knowing that they are gonna flip red in a matter of minutes (even seconds...his final rebuttal was after the deadline had passed). I thought this was pretty obvious... Also, farewell and gg to sciberbia. | ||

He's got two big problems in my eyes: scumhunting and accountability. He's got 10 posts, so let's see what he has been doing to find scum. Instead of including all of his quotes, I thought it would be better for you the reader to open his filter and follow along with me. Scumhunting + Show Spoiler + Posts 1 and 2: + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + On May 22 2012 18:06 O.Golden_ne wrote: Good evening all, Well i've been following everything today via iPhone at work, but i'll be most active in the evenings. Such as now! Okay to start things off, Release has taken a very aggressive stance. This seems standard, someone always needs to shake things up. That being said, it was fairly amusing watching him post #FOS at anyone posting. I had a LOL at my desk. While it is good to shake things up, which he is doing. I do feel like he sort of shut down several good points that both Mordanis and Sciberbia have made, and is picking on some very minor problems with their posts that would be expected so early in the game. Please dont focus on the semantics so much Release. + Show Spoiler + 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. I think take a bit to absorb what everyone is saying. Please remember that there are 7 of us Town and while discouraging fluff is essential in dissecting the mafia from the pack you need to keep in mind that the majority of us are town and we WANT to promote discussion. Pointing the finger at everyone that talks, for semantics OR their opinions is perhaps not the best way to encourage people to engage in a profitable discussion. To add my 2 cents on the DayOneLynch (D1L) I agree with hegeo, Release and Mordanis. It is my opinion that on day one we need to lynch someone, it provides a lot of information and in the optimum situation we can get lucky and hit a mafia. I'd rather mislynch one of our own, then wait a day and one of us get sniped. Ending up in a similar circumstance to the start of D1 just minus a player. Ugh. Also, i consider lurkers to be quite scummy. So unless a lurker posts some seriously good content every day, they will be under some scrutiny from myself. @Miltonkram, what is your on opinion on hegeo's statement: + Show Spoiler + On May 22 2012 20:45 O.Golden_ne wrote: @Miltonkram. good point. this early in the game it IS unlikely anyone will have a solid town or mafia read. I think it's crucial everyone establishes a list of who they suspect to be town and mafia. However, it might be wise to only publicly question, accuse and point suspicions once you've got several points of reasoning. As i don't want people to have to be defending themselves against 'scummy' accusations due to poor semantics and one-off poor wording. I think people's overall playstyle is a much greater indicator of their allegiance then a one-off slip (or mistake). Obviously other's may have a much more reactive play style where they will prefer to isolate single remarks. Though i want to take a look at a larger picture before casting my votes. Note that if other peoples reads on single-posts match with my overall read of a player i'll pay it attention. (and if someone makes some high level analysis of a post) TL;DR 1. Unlikely to have solid town/mafia reads this early. 2. Keep a personal list of reads. 3. Only post accusations when you've got some good reasoning rather than pointing the finger willy-nilly. 4. IMO. A players overall style should have a more considerable weighting than a one off post. I will vote accordingly unless there is a good analysis of why a players post may be a scum-slip. My intention for this post is to try add a little structure, so that when deadlines start looming we're not left flailing in the deep. Also, just reading Hegeo's recent posts. I didn't even notice Mordanis's comment about me. He was in my first (and last) game and i enjoyed his play style as he was fairly active. I however was not, and had to pull out of that game due to personal reasons. I plan on being quite active and want to keep my posting fairly succinct, my posts in the previous game became large walls of texts and i want to avoid this. So i have and will be including TL:DR's wherever applicable. These are mostly fluff and policy discussion. In post 1, he criticizes Release on his play style, talks lynch policy, and says lurkers are bad. Pretty lightweight stuff. He also directs a softball of a question to Milton, which in his third post he attributes to wanting to get Milton to talk. It's fluffy, but his stated goal makes sense. Post 2 is really more policy discussion and "advice." His general tone is wait until you can craft a solid case on someone before pressuring them. His advice is not helpful at all. Of course everyone is going to be making reads for themselves. Early posts will naturally be content light, still it's something to keep in mind as you continue reading. The comfort level is very high early on, so it's easy for scum to post without fear. Post 3: + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + On May 23 2012 06:14 O.Golden_ne wrote: @Sciberbia: RE: Miltonkram. I was getting exactly the same read. I have found all his posts to date fairly inline with what i have experienced as mafia in the past. I have wanted to hear more from him since his first post, that's why i directed my question to him. His answer has a good point about us not having much information currently to make any solid stances, however he DOES side with all the safest views and DOESNT put anything ground breaking or new into the public arena before sidelining and going to bed. Definitely need to hear more from him before the day is out if he plans on having a leg to stand on, as i can see at the very least a case forming on him for being fluffy lurker. @Mordanis: RE: Hegeo. You raise some good points, but like i said earlier i can't base a vote on just a single incriminating post. Sometime people only have a short amount of time to zip into the thread and post. and in my experience ALL rushed posts come off with a scum vibe. So i for one am going to let the "coincidence" debate slide on this one, and try read a little further into other statements today before casting my vote. This is very important to establish early on also, for everyone. If you're town, you've got nothing to worry about other than posting as much info as you can before you die. We all don't want to be lynched because playing is fun, however its more important to play WELL than to play for a LONG TIME. Play for the team, not for yourself as thats how scum play. @Hegeo. I'd love to see your response to Releases accusation. As his is the most tangible accusation to date. Because he's acctually got a vote behind it! Please rebut. I'll be posting more in my lunch break in 5 hours. c u soon He comments on two active cases. In the Milton case, he says it looks scummy to side with the prevalent moods in the thread, and to not add any new content while doing so. Note that he does exactly this in post 3. He catches a ride on these two building cases, and doesn't add much of consequence to them. Commenting on Hegeo, his ideas can be summed up as 'let's wait.' This reads as very cautious/non-commital.

Post 5:+ Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + On May 23 2012 18:14 O.Golden_ne wrote: I want to post a few of my reads so far in the public arena, hopefully my separation from todays events will give me a different perspective and perhaps help in focusing from the 4 or so cases down to a smaller number. 1. Mufaa. Obviously useless. I'm more than happy to give him the boot, however before we do i'd like to look into some other avenues of lynching because if he keeps up his current style and fails to post a vote before the day is out he will be modkilled. Why waste a lynch on someone who is most likely to get killed by moderators! haha. That being said if he posts intermittently just to hang into the game. then we instantly should usher him from the game as it's fairly obvious he's just hanging around to get his Mafia night kills in. 2. Miltonkram (open his filter in another window for this, it should be easy to follow and not too long.) 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. next. 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). next. 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. 3. Hegeo I pretty much agree with Mordanis on this player, but i will reserve voting. 4. ShiaoPi This player has been very defensive the whole game. It's hard to get a read from someone when they are being defensive. He does a good job of trying to avert suspicion from him. The problem with defensive play is that you start to get suspicious of the person accusing you. Thoughts & Comments Obviously i need to read a little more into the other players but these are some i have focussed on so far. Miltonkram sticks out to me the most out of the non-lurkers however. I urge everyone, both people being defensive and offensive. To have a re-read over the person they are accusing/defending and try to see their other posts that arent aimed to you. Perhaps you will get a bit more insight into their position as remember there is 7 of us trying to figure this out! ##FOS Miltonkram This one is important. This is the first real meaty post he makes. He starts with Mufaa. Pressuring a lurker; yes, sometimes necessary, but also very safe. This is like 99% lean meat. His thoughts on Milton is where it gets interesting. First, have a look at Milton's post before he FoS' me and then ShiaoPi: On May 23 2012 06:16 Miltonkram wrote: --snipped With the discussion generated I think there is finally enough info for me to start making cases. I'm currently reading through people's filters and making notes on them. I'll post again soon with my scum reads. I'm getting more and more confident that I have a couple solid cases to make. He states his intention to lay out a couple of cases he has been building. He starts with me. I feel he had justification here, as I didn't really explain my mistake in reading comprehension as well as I could have in regards to an earlier post of his. When he FoS' me, I realize that what I thought was a satisfactory explanation in fact needed more. I flesh it out so we are on the same page, and he drops his FoS. Make what you will of the double derp fest that we had, but the takeaway message here is that Milton in the end was satisfied with my explanation. Now, with that resolved, he immediately moves on to his second case against ShiaoPi. He said he had a couple, so we should be expecting two, no? There is also no reason to wait between posting the case between me, and the case between ShiaoPi. If he does, he could be dinged for guaranteeing two cases and only being forthcoming with one. Following his ShiaoPi case, he places a cursory vote onto Mufaa. I see this as good thinking. If you are going to pressure a lurker, this is the way to do it. You can vote for them with a very simple case of: you are not talking, please do so. We as townies have many tools to apply pressure. We can use words, FoS, and our votes. Milton uses his words and FoS' against me and ShiaoPi, and pressures a lurker in an efficient and fluff-free way. I see this as good play. This is the major point that Golden has against Milton...that he is flighty and indecisive with his suspicions. Reading what you just read, do you think he has this right? I feel he got a fair amount of town cred with his point here, because he put words to the thoughts going through many people's heads on Milton. Looking back, it is undeserved. I think this is why he has avoided any serious scrutiny yet. Next he gives his thoughts on Hegeo. Actually it's just a single thought: I agree with Mordanis, but I'm not going to vote right now. No reasoning for why he agrees, or why he doesn't agree enough to vote. Lastly he gives his read on ShiaoPi. Here is his read: I have no read, he is playing defensively. Pure filler. In his thoughts and comments section, he admits that he needs to spend more time on his reads. Ok, I'm glad he is addressing this. When I saw this I am inclined to cut him some slack. We will return to this later. He finishes with an FoS on Milton. This is coincides with his post and is expected.

This post is filler, and creates more filler. He says me and ShiaoPi are tunneling eachother. The presumed intent of saying this is to stress: stop tunneling! Except after this he encourages us both to restate our entire argument against eac hother. This seems like a contradiction, and as said, encourages the creation of more filler (rehashed arguments). He also cuts Milton some slack, saying he recognizes that Milton has realized some holes in his play, and is ready to contribute more. For further slack, Milton is to post his views on ShiaoPi.

If Mufaa isn't modkilled i'll be super suspicious of him. BECAUSE, the only thing that can him from a modkill is a vote. Lurking that hard, followed by a vote is good grounds for a vig snipe or a day 2 lynch. I'm out for while. Lurker talk.

Essentially, he plays scum exactly how I would. His entire D1 posts have been pretty wishy-washy and noncommittal, allowing him freedom later in the game because he hasn't actually tied himself strongly to the information or accusations in any of his posts. With that in mind let's look at his first post. + Show Spoiler + Just came back from university. First of all we should definetly go for a lynch, no-lynch is (at least in my opinion) utter nonsense. Regarding Lurkers, I believe that they should be put under suspicion especially in a 9 player setup. I was in the same game as mufaa and lurking screwed us over pretty badly in a 13 player game. I must say I really like release's approach until now, we won't get anything worthwhile from just being nice to each other. Pressuring is a great way to get some more information and should be utilizied. The only slightly suspicious thing until now was sciberbia's long post and his absence since then, but until he responds there is nothing to make of it. Here's what he does, he compliments the most active player early on (Release) and talks about playstyle. Then he adds some weak suspicions toward sciberbia. Suspicion that he can easily back down from, and that certainly isn't breaking any new ground. Wait, doesn't this sound a lot like another early post? + Show Spoiler + Release- I like the way you're starting out this game. If we are going to catch scum we need to be aggressive about it. Don't worry too much about the tone of your posts. sciberbia's post does seem a bit suspicious. He repeats his ideas several times in different ways to make it look like he's putting out more info than he actually is. It seems quite scummy to me. Mordanis- Don't get too offended by aggressive behavior. If mafia doesn't actually think that a little pressure will lead to a lynch, then why should they answer any questions at all? We need to make sure that people are held accountable to what they say. sciberbia- What do you have to say about the accusations pointed at you? There's quite a bit of fluffy information in your post. Let's try to keep the conversation more focused on who might be scum, everything else is secondary. That's right, his entire first post is a rehash of one of my first posts. A post I made before him. If my first post wasn't breaking any new ground, his certainly wasn't. It seems a good way to blend in with the crowd without sticking his neck out there. He goes on to immediately back down from his pressure with this post. + Show Spoiler + Maybe I should have rephrased my post on the suspicions towards you Sciberbia: I was not that much concerned about your absence but just on the amount of seemingly "useless" things within the post. Don't see anything wrong with your elaborations on it now. Here we get the first taste of ShiaoPi's tactic. He pressures someone and then states, "Oh, I wasn't actually pressuring you." It seems like a good way to blend in while also "contributing" as scum. This is just the first instance of his noncommittal aggression. Golden pays no attention to this either, except for an indirect reference in that he will be suspicious of ShiaoPi of Milton flips town. We still have no idea if he even read what Milton wrote.

Im not going to address sciberbias final post yet though I think it has credence. The most heated debate at the moment is between 3 candidates. Release, Morsanis and miltonkram. Here's my read on the events at the moment. Hegeos got smashed, and his final post carries the most weight of anything in this entire thread. Since this time both Morsanis and release have been scrambling to defend themselves and appear least scummy. By the fact that they are both quite defensive I feel that miltonkram is right in saying one of them is most likely scum. However miltonkram by posting this opinion in relationship to his former situation makes me feel like he's using this as a great opportunity to avert attention from himself over to shiaopi. It is my opinion so far that miltonkram is mafia, and one of either Morsanis or release is also. I also think that his repetition about the 50/50 things makes him look very scummy as there is little content for so much taking. I'll quote it in my big post this arvo if it's still relevant. Post 9 is a hegeo reaction post. It's neutral. Post 10 is a summation of his thoughts on current events. He captures the general mood that release and mordanis are in a little hot water, and the rest is mostly WIFOM on Milton. The complete picture...I see the summation of everything he has done, and I certainly do not see a dedicated scum hunter. His only real try was on Milton, and when dissected, it doesn't seem like much of a try at all. What I see is a creator of filler, and someone who is neither hot nor cold, but always lukewarm. Someone who seems unaffected by the ticking clock, counting down to the death of the town. All together it seems very, very scummy. Accountability + Show Spoiler + I add this now.

I have been following but wok is super busy so I have to quickly duck in here during my lunch break on my phone. In going to write a large analysis this afternoon so about 5hours from thi post. Im not going to address sciberbias final post yet though I think it has credence. It's been 7 hours and counting at the time I'm writing this. He could have legit gotten too busy to post, but this is strike two, and it's worth noting. There are other occurances, and I've covered most of them in my first section. He promises to be most active in the evening in his first post. He was on the first evening, but on the eve of the first lynch, he popped in to vote and then dropped off the face of the earth. He says he will consider additional info on Milton before making his decision to vote for him, but then votes without saying why other than trusting his original read. He claims interest in Milton's opinion on ShiaoPi, then has no reaction to it when Milton obliges him. He asks myself and ShiaoPi to restate our cases against each other, then ignores them completely. In Post 5, he admits to needing more info to flesh out his opinions, but then doesn't refine his opinion on really anyone but Milton (and to what effect? his refinement was to cut him some slack, and then he retracted it wordlessly when he voted for him). This is a trend. He does not hold himself accountable for his actions. Conclusions: + Show Spoiler + The portion on scumhunting stands on it's own. He isn't really trying to find scum at all, because he is the scumdog millionaire. The section on accountability does not stand on it's own. It can be explained as bad townie play. Here is the crux of the argument, the thing that links to two together. A townie who is flaky, and is never around when he says he will be, would still make his best effort to find scum with the time he DOES have available. I think I have clearly shown that Golden does not do this. There you have it folks. Thoughts? | ||

Mordanis: I think you have the right idea going back to the drawing board. Release has also encouraged this, and so do I. I read what you have posted so far, and what I see is you being suspicious of everyone basically (having refreshed just before posting this, I see Release has just said the same). I think this is caused by the front to back thread read. This is causing every player's worst moments to stick in your head and little else. My suggestion is to look at each person individually, via filters. A front to back thread read is useful, but should be secondary to this. SciaoPi: Day 1 has been over for awhile. I've been going over and over your filter. Your final response to me was confusing, in that it stood in stark contrast to everything else you posted. It was crystal clear, well thought out, and humble. It also took some big brass balls to unFoS me when I was still actively pursuing you. This showed self-awareness and also a healthy measure of trust. I said I wanted to continue our interaction, but had a change of heart after mulling over this: On May 24 2012 07:57 ShiaoPi wrote: --snipped I lacked and probably still lack according to some people content but it really is hard to get some content in, if I have to defend myself all the time.

The framework you are basing your analysis on seems sound enough. With everything else I've been doing, I haven't gone through Mordanis' filter by itself in a little while. I plan to do this so I can add/comment to your analysis post. | ||

Milton, your read on Mordanis draws a lot on these emotions. The take home message, as I see it, is that Mordanis used emotional play to distract us from points being made against him. Yes, this is possible, but I ask you, is it more likely than this scenario: Mordanis is a newbie just like the rest of us, and started the game sure that he wanted to do his part, but was unsure on how to go about it. He waffles around a bit, tries to be pro-town and makes nice. When some early flak comes from hegeo, he becomes incredulous, and overreacts to it. He feels genuinely slighted, because he knows he's green, and hegeo's suspicions are misguided. It's like hegeo came up to him and declared that 2+2=5. I know I felt this way the first time I was accused, and it's difficult to stay objective. Put simply, day 1 was a lot of OMGUS towards hegeo. That said, hegeo's defense left a lot to be desired, and really only encouraged the perpetuity of Mordanis' behavior. | ||

Your defense on scumhunting is that you scumhunt differently than everyone else. That's correct, the difference is that you only care enough about it to form one garbagey case against one player, absent of any outside information. You basically mailed it in, voted (citing only your own weak input), and then left. You don't care because you are scum, and know who the scum are. You don't care to stick around for the lynch results, because you knew it was a win for you either way we went (milton/hegeo). Your defense on your accountability is: yes I haven't been accountable, but what if you and Milton are scum and WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM. Also, look at this new lurker we have! Isn't he terrible? I am thoroughly, 100% convinced. ##Vote: O.Golden_ne | ||

My ideal situation is that we lynch golden today, and he's the godfather. Then it'd be cool if any blues we have left focus on skware, by either vig shooting him or DT checking him. Either way, he will be largely dealt with. If golden is not the godfather, but some other mafia role, then its more complicated. In this situation I would still consider lynching skware. You know how life goes with best laid plans however. Basically, yes I wouldn't mind killing him tomorrow on the strength of what we know about him, but I think we are better off with Golden today | ||
