Prplhz, I'm not on your back. I distinctly did not jump on the wagon to check out other things.

On that note: you haven't yet said anything of Sinensis.

Null on VE. Prplhz's read is "this player plays better than this as town, and since his play level isn't as high as I thought he is scum" - which is alignment-null. He did it against me too.

In any case I still got that gut feel (and its stronger than before) on Sinensis. And what I said to prplhz can be said of you too marv. You haven't yet said anything (meaningful) of Sinensis.

Doesn't make a difference. Either alignment can do that. I'm pretty unfazed by blue roles / claims (I've lead the lynch on two before). Look at his actions, and see if he is scum or town.

Okay, here is the deal.

purple haze finally appeared into this game. He had a mediocre first 24 hours, and put no effort into trying to deviate the attention away from him during the first 24 hours. Today, he comes back and writes the huge text as well as claims cop.

If there is one thing I learned through the course of my games, is that you don't lynch a claimed blue day 1.

##unvote

Now, prplhz just did what a town player is supposed to do in his situation: scumhunt. I have to say prplhz does not look as scummy from his last few posts

The problem with reading VE right now is that you can't really read him on meta since he just came out of a game where everyone yelled "YOU SUCK" at him. Point of fact is: VE hasn't been contributing anything new. In fact, there is a big issue on his play when he calls Bluelightz for the "kenpachi rule".

I like a Bz lynch as much as I like any at this point.


Then, on his very next post after marv:
However, Bluelightz is trying to attribute scumminess to the claim as if it were automatically true and as if he were giving scum information. But the fact of the matter is that his claim is a completely null tell because it's what anyone in the GAME would claim. The claim itself is NOT scummy. Bluelightz trying to cast suspicion on NSH is scummy.


Which is it?! If Bluelightz casting the suspicion is scummy, then why does VE prefer his lynch as much as any other lynch at that point(when no other lynches were formed)?


On July 06 2012 22:09 VisceraEyes wrote:
Not if it leads us to our first scum!

Bluelightz, EXPLAIN YOUR REACTION!


And from "I like a bz lynch as much as any" to "scummy" and now Bluelightz is the first scum?

(every quote can be found on his filter, I just took simplified passages)

VE ain't looking good. I want more people's opinion on this.

Right now with the blue claim, I'd rather wait for the night to see for proff, he could be lying, to prove it he would die tonight (or if there is a medic he won't probably).

So, right now because of that, I think that drwiggl3s might be scum, reasons in the case below:

First, he contradicts himself:

I don't think dangeresque is being weird. I think slOosh gave good reason after his initial post and "ninja vote". I am suspicious of sinensis. MsZontar's actions don't seem out of the ordinary to me. I'd attack you to if I didn't just get out of a game with you where you were playing just like this (but were town). And yes I also think prplhz behavior is scummy.

Is any of this enough for a lynch? yes. Is any of it good enough for a sure fire mafia lynch? no. So i want others to talk.


He think's slOosh gave good reason, or did he?

His first post isn't actually very suspicious to me. People troll, random vote, etc. all the time. but what follows is what makes me think it was a plan put in place to make him seem pro-town. (rather then an actual desire to lynch me).

Hey all.

MrZentor has correctly identified my vote as a reaction test against a less known, less experienced (objectively by post count) player.

By doing this I have achieved two objectives of mine: first is to get better reads on people via gauging the responses to my weird play and also subsequent responses to those players. Pushing to something more meaningful than trite policy lynches and giving us something to work with.

Secondly, it makes me more visible - people are keeping an eye on me. Because I'm somewhat confident in my ability to reveal my towniness, this serves to give me a greater voice in town. People pay attention to the posts of those who they think suspicious. That means people gonna read what I say and also get a better, i.e. town, read on me. Awesome.

In any case I'll be resuming my regular play.

His follow up posts show great reasoning, and a desire to poke people who are new and or lurking to get a reaction from them. Sure this looks like a great town post, but isn't it too great? Like he starts a mini flare up in posting where everyone's wondering why I have a vote already despite not having posted. And then after a short time he comes back with a flawless reason, thus allowing him to appear pro-town while giving him the opportunity to sit back and not have to post any more.

To me at least this seems like the most suspicious action in the thread.


Also, in the post where drwiggl3s contradict's himself, he thinks that there is not enough substance to make a fucking (strong) case on someone and doesn't want to do it himself, this is the same as trying to avoid the pressure when prplhz is mislynched (if he is town though).

I don't want to throw blame around on behalf of weak cases when I'm actually waiting to see more. I was just stating my opinions so far on what's happened D1.


Why is he waiting to see more? I see no point in 'waiting' for cases while you can just make one yourself.

Then he post's some useless post's that don't help anything.

Anyway, just saying you might benefit the town more by saying less and being a little more resistant when it comes to jumping on someone for supposedly scummy actions.




Then, he says "theres only enough to make a weak case! there's no way it can't be a strong case!", I think this is stupid because a case is a case, and if the case has a valid reason than is it weak or strong?

He doesn't provide reasons/ help making a 'strong' case but just waits to sheep people who care to make a case.

slOosh - I'm kinda not reading so much into Sinensis' opening post. You might have something with the tone etc., but I lynched someone in LVI because of very similar reasons and I turned out to be quite wrong.

What I don't like is how he pushed on Zephirdd. I don't like the case much anyway, but he then goes on to openly admit he's pretty much going to tunnel Zeph ("once i made up my mind, it takes a lot for me to change it" or what have you). Zephirdd makes a natural response of "why even try to rebutt then", but then like pretty much any sensible person, makes an effort to do so anyway. Sinensis then goes "you said you weren't even going to try!" - and actually takes Zephirdd making an effort in his own defence as scummy.

I'm trying to work out what Sinensis is trying to achieve with this. What's the townie motivation? To push a lynch on his best scumread (Zeph) by what, dismissing him and being Mr Sarcastic? By telling him he's not going to change his mind, basically without giving him recourse for defence? Who has he even persuaded on to the lynch... nobody, the way he's 'pushing' Zeph has only served to turn people OFF the idea of voting for Zephirdd. Scum motivation? To look like you're scumhunting. Easy.

Thank you marv.

I'm been trying to figure out how to built a case on tonality / whatever it is I'm using. So I'll just bullet point things to keep in mind when reading thread / filter.

- His hardline defense of prplhz. HARD.
On July 07 2012 12:42 Sinensis wrote:
Prplhz shouldn't be lynched today. No way in hell. He's gotten too much negative attention from too many people, it seems likely to me mafia is pushing for the easy lynch against an aggressive player. And why wouldn't they? prplhz isn't playing as good or as friendly as he could be. This is the last time I defend him against the rest of the angry mob unless he stops with the "LOL SCUM LOL."

In an atmosphere where most of the vocal townies were expressing a desire to lynch prplhz, he hardline defends him. During this he calls us an "angry mob" and also hedges a backout option. Yet he admits that prplhz really isn't worth defending according to his current game play. There is a contradiction in word and action. He wants to be seen opposing the prplhz lynch yet he deems prplhz worth lynching up to that point.

- His general tone of condescension and misinterpretation
On July 07 2012 13:01 Sinensis wrote:
These people saying I'm too mechanical... what? You want me to post hilarious one liners and memes like others? Maybe someone could host a mafia pictionary edition where no one can post more than one image and one line of text at a time. We could call it 4chan mafia. Maybe I should use less capitalization and punctuation to help fit in.

I understand being criticized for lurking, but being "too mechanical?" For my posts being well thought out, really? There are actually people bashing me for that?

He is acting out really defensively but does so in a condescending anti-town manner. No one was bashing him, no one was critiquing him because his posts were well thought out. He is slinging mud around.

- He spends his energies on meaningless things to feign activity
Note the Zephirdd exchange: against a player he thinks is scummy he seems to think that changing his mind is a good action to pursue. Note his exchange with me, where he accuses me of ??? I address it here. He is conjuring up suspicions and flailing when pushed to explain them.

Doesn't actually use these things for scumhunting. For Zephirdd, he called him scummy before the exchange, and with me, he ignores everything said and done to address prplhz.

I think this is a solid D1 lynch.

##Unvote: prplhz

Better posting is better. My unvote has nothing to do with your claim. That you suspect me is asinine. Your case is literally "He suspects me. I don't think as town he would suspect me."

When you come in with a more substantial case, I'll provide a more substantial defense.

##Vote: Sinensis

By far the best case in the thread right now. I agree with most of slOosh's points, though I feel he's unfairly calling his responses "overly defensive" when his is the only decent case in the thread.

slOosh, what do you think about Zeph?
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

I like Zeph. I don't think he is maliciously misinterpreting posts, if his suspicions on you are what you are getting at.

On that note 3 people are on the table for a nice vig lurker shot. I highly recommend that they step it up.

I could defenantly see prplhz being mafia. I'd like to see him post some more before I commit though

Hers had quite a bit of pressure on him sense day one and his only response to the attacks was " I don't know how you want me to defend myself". He claims that he's had like 100 games. Seems like someone with that much experience should have a better answere
He's defenantly on my mafia watch list

I feel a bit timid in talking about Sinensis. I got extremely mad at him, and I feel that anything I say may have too much emotion in it.

He blatantly ignored everything I said, and just say "I won't change my opinion ever". Like, for a town player to say that, it's terrible because it means he is not willing to play alongside others, instead he wants to play his own game with his own intentions. For a scum player to say that, it reduces the possibility of being called for flip-flopping through reads. In fact, on my very first scum game, Greymist and Cyber_Cheese told me that the best thing to do is to focus on a read and stick with it.

Secondly, it took him 39 minutes(according to timestamps) to read 10 pages and determine that I am scum. I'm sorry, but 10 pages, + analysis, + making a post IS NOT made in 39 minutes. When he said "gimme 40 minutes", I thought he'd come back with a general feel of the thread and post analysis after. Instead, he goes against one of the most vocal player in the game.

What is giving me problem with a Sinensis lynch is that I doubt a scum would go as far as casting a vote into one of the most vocal players, co-leader of the primary lynch target. However, this play would make A LOT of sense for a scum if he expected prplhz to be lynched regardless of the last 24 hours, if you assume prplhz is town.

From my head, there are more arguments against Sinensis than in favor.

##Vote Sinensis



On the VE subject, I meant what I said. However there is a reason why I didn't vote VE yet: I don't think that those arguments alone make him scum. Right now he is completely null to me, considering everything.

I could probably swing this vote back onto someone else if I switched but I'm happy to be where I'm at. I'm going to leave it on Zephirdd till the end of the day and see if people are still mad about it. I still think he's scum but I'm the only one that would think that right now, so yeah, not budging.
