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. Come now, we all know you claim blue as default. I'm going to have to stop defending BL soon, but he didn't even call NSH scum for it, he just asked why the fuck he was doing so. As you yourself point out, it's totally null. So NSH made his only contribution before sleep something totally useless and null. meh. | ||

At many points close to the end of the day I remember that you would overthink situations and start contradicting yourself. Remember that the townies in the game don't know your alignment. If you're calling another townie suspicious the only person who knows you're wrong is the guy you're calling out. If you start making weird hedges just to convince yourself you're not looking scummy by calling a townie out, you end up calling attention to yourself. Observers will recall at some point in the obs QT I said "prplhz is overthinking way too much" and this is what I was referring to. Mafia who concern themselves too much with their own appearances will end up looking exactly like what they're trying not to look like: wishy washy, scared scum. prplhz should be currently well aware of his own 'meta'. ##Unvote ##Vote: prplhz | ||

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. ##Unvote: MrZentor ##Vote: Sinensis (I'll be posting more later in the day. Slept at 4am yesterday due to shenanigans and gonna go work now.

Reasonably to be expected at the start of day 1. But this post... ah, I don't know where to begin with how it wiffle waffles (big sister of wishy washy). He spends quite a long time talking about prplhz, but to what conclusion? He's confusing. The first sentence is a real cracker: "I would be ok to vote prplhz" - excellent! "but I'm not totally convinced he's scum" - oh... why you ok to vote him :< "then again it would help to just go ahead and lynch one person to get us started" - what??... that's not why we lynch people. So he's happy to vote prplhz just because... he's ok with getting anyone lynched to start the game. He then proceeds to call prplhz going "lol u scum" a "good way of scumhunting." Really? :/ I mean, really?? :/ Tacked on the end of the post is the little bit about Sinensis. It feels like he's just put that there to, ya know, say something else. "like others have said, his posts sound suspicious". Well, Zentor said he sounded cautious. Dangeresque does NOT provide his own opinion here, he's just casting the doubt of others on to Sinensis. Overall just a post of such astonishing nothingness. Very scummy. | ||

Secondly, at the end of the post he asks the thread to specifically hold him accountable for his activity picking back up when he says it will (I'll post later in the day, but not now because of X). Given those things, I'm inclined to believe slOosh when he says it was a reaction test, however I'm eagerly awaiting what he has to say about Sinensis' reactions that caused him to end up being scummy. bolded stuff wiggles | ||

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. ##Vote: Sinensis | ||

With how quickly the bandwagon stopped I bet that there were scum on it though and I think that VisceraEyes is scum. I don't get why wherebugsgo thinks my behavior is off because I am cop. He's one of the main proponents of "play blue as green" and how you're only blue while you send in your actions. I play like this, last time I was blue was in Pick Your Poison (with wherebugsgo) and no one guessed it. Don't you dare. You completely brought this upon yourself and bugs is totally correct. If you are the cop then your play at the beginning of the day was absolutely atrocious, and COMPLETELY unbefitting of your role. You're perfectly capable of solid townie play, but instead you throw crap at the thread when you're in possession of such a power role? What the fuck, seriously? | ||

1) I have a terrible record with assessing/lynching blue claims, 2) I have a tendency to grossly overestimate what I expect from players I have respect for (and you are one, prplhz). An example of these 2 things working together is Bang Bang, where I lynched (shot) gonzaw the claimed cop. I thought the claim was iffy, but most of all I expected MORE from his play previously (there had been holes). But I was wrong and gonzaw had simply played more suboptimally than I expected. | ||

But what gave it away to me was that after casualman voted for him, both Mattchew and BKEXE immediately returned the favour and voted for casualman to be lynched. Both without any explanation other than saying "Wtf is this". And then later, both went MIA for quite a while instead of explaining their votes or trying to defend BKEXE. You may ask why would casualman throw his vote at BKEXE so early. It could be he is either just noob, or it could be he read BKEXE as scum (like many people are now) but just before a lot of people had the chance to. As for other players: I find many people are soft defending BKEXE and in their posts trying to put suspicion onto others (with little reason). I see these as scummy moves. Just look at the tone. He calls this, that, and the other scummy. That's what he's concentrating on. Compare to this game, how many times he says he feels things AREN'T scummy, or people are reading too much into things, or he's not happy with this lynch. Totally different tone. His only 'case' in the thread was on slOosh and it didn't even have a vote accompanying it. The two styles between the games are not of the same alignment. | ||

Since, prplhz is a (claimed) cop, should we try and direct him or just leave him to his own decisions? I think that prplhz should check by himself and claim it like 5 (or 1) minute(s) before the deadline or something, also he should claim the result too, that is if he lives, but this is assuming he is actually a cop. Scumteams often have rbers (can't remember last time i played w/out one). meh, leave him to his own devices. If he is a cop he's sensible enough to pick a decent target. As for Sinensis, firstly VE's analysis on the vote-switching thing seems quite reasonable. I'm trying to put myself in Sinensis' shoes... I'm thinking Day 2 Movie. I don't really recall thinking anyone was scummy for when they switched off me, more "thank fuck they've seen the light." Now Sinensis isn't me obv, but his aggression after this lynch seems particularly misplaced. 'you idiots, you lynched a bloody townie on a weak case instead of lynching... another townie in me!' - what gives?? | ||

What are you getting at with the voting thing though? The fact is that SOMEONE has to be on the middle of a lynch/wagon, right? Do you think there's something that can't be explained away from a townie POV there? | ||

Zephirdd - I think you're making too much of what actually wasn't a scumslip. prplhz, I also noticed that about slOosh. It seems an odd oversight for him. Current, factual state of play is this: 1) 3 dead townies 2) an outed cop who we don't know for sure is a cop, and if he is will surely be rbed 3) a needlessly outed JK 4) 0 dead scum slOosh's conclusion: the game could be over today. What the ....? Town could literally not be in a worse position day 2... | ||

![]() Sinensis - as far as I can see your vote remained on Zephirdd all of day 1. In Day 2 you say Zephirdd made good points on VE. What is your read on Zephirdd now? If it isn't scum, what made you change your mind? MrZentor - your read on Sinensis day 1 was "cautious, lurky" scum, and you've come out strong with a vote on him day 2. Yet Sinensis is no longer cautious, nor lurky. So what makes up your scumread on him? Zephirdd - you voted Sinensis day 1 and never changed your vote. Taking aside the scumslip that never was, what is your read on Sinensis and why? The prplhz cop claim I really still can't quite get over this. prplhz said "you guys forced me to claim cop". Out of 12 players, only 3 players actually placed a vote on prplhz (me, Zeph, VE). Many others actually defended him. It feels very wrong that someone would claim cop with 3 votes maximum on them. I want ALL of town's thoughts on this please. | ||

Town will lynch you today if you don't provide adequate reasoning. I subbed into LVI on day 1 three hours before lynch-time and got someone with no votes lynched. You don't think I can lynch you with 1.5 days remaining as confirmed townie? ##Vote: MrZentor | ||

The living confirmed townie (me) currently does not have a scumread on Sinensis. The dead confirmed townie (bugs) had a townread on Sinensis. And you sit here asking me why you need to convince me to vote him? Die scum. Town, vote with me. | ||

"prplhz can't be scum either. If he was scum, his first move today would be to say "not rb'd" and claim some fake read on someone." Don't presume this at all. If I were scum and I'd claimed cop, I would ABSOLUTELY claim to have been roleblocked. Like, 100%. I don't understand your reasoning at all if I'm honest. Btw I'm not saying that prplhz isn't cop. Just that that reasoning is nonsense. If he was claiming as scum, the only logical thing if he were "townie" would be that scum roleblocked him. | ||

It's a nice combination of reasons of actions this game and a little bit of meta. First of all Zentor says Sinensis is 'suspicious' and only after being prodded does he reveal it's because he is being 'cautious, lurky scum'. Ok that's fine. Events later in the lynch aren't so favourable. He never deigns to tell us why drwiggl3s is a bad lynch at all, he just tells us Sinensis is more likely to flip scum. No reasoning given either way. His posts towards the end of the day amount to telling town we're stupid for voting how we are, but without actually trying to convince us otherwise. There is also the fact that he tried to claim credit for the Sinensis wagon when actually he didn't lead the wagon at all, slOosh did. Then comes the episode a little earlier today. He comes in with a vote on Sinensis straight off the bat. But he doesn't tell us why. I quiz him on it, and for some reason he refuses to tell me - I point out that clearly Sinensis is NOT being cautious and lurky, which were his original reasons. All I get back is that his transition out of this phase was 'extremely scummy'. Not a reason at all. He's riding this wagon to make it look like he's doing something. Eventually after extremely heavy pressure from me he caves and makes a "case" but for me it is too late by then. In Emergency Mafia he never didn't tell people why he was lynching people. There was proper analysis of his lynch candidates (to an extent). I also found it an interesting psychological moment earlier in the game when he said this: On July 07 2012 07:28 MrZentor wrote: Prphlz is being a reckless townie. Sinensis is being a cautious, lurky scum. (A lot like my scum play actually) Forgot to do this earlier. ##Vote: Sinensis The bit in brackets. Of course it could be completely innocent, but I think it betrays his mindset this game - trying very hard not to be so, and condemning someone else for it. Also note his point of view on prplhz - reckless townie. Arguably what Sinensis has turned into, but we're not treated to the distinction. Most of all though, I'd like to draw similarities between comments here and in Bang Bang where he was Serial Killer. I first got a scumread on Zentor after a little exchange we had: On June 16 2012 00:17 marvellosity wrote: I know it seems like I'm obsessed with Toad right now, but I see no mention from you in your filter of ANY suspicions of Toad. So explain. On June 16 2012 00:35 MrZentor wrote: A lot of people have talked about their suspicions of toad and their reasons. He seems like the best target right now. If I were to tell you why Toad is mafia, I'd be copying a bunch of other people. And here: On July 10 2012 00:23 MrZentor wrote: If I'm going to provide "adequate reason" I'll probably end up copying BlueLight's case, because he showed why Sinensis is scum much better than I ever could. How is that helpful to anyone? If you really want me to reiterate the case against Sinensis, you're just going to be wasting everybody's time. In Bang Bang his read on Toad mysteriously appeared and his natural reaction when quizzed was "other people have said it". Compare to here where he also abdicates responsibility for giving a reason for his reads on the basis that other people have said it. Zentor is scum. | ||

"You're asking me why we should lynch somebody we were planning on lynching yesterday? Why don't you look at the posts yesterday and find out. -.-" and yes of course I was asking, because Sinensis had ceased to behave in the manner that led you to vote him. | ||

I don't really know what to think about him but the fact that he's actively trying to piss off a confirmed townie and proven scum hunter just seems like something scum wouldn't do, especially a player like zentor. I think you might be tunneling him with your "power games" and because he is really good at pissing people off marvellosity. It really looks different from outside and I know because I've tried the inside and now I'm looking at it from the outside. I caught him in BBM2 because he was posting carefully and non-contributory (just a token case on day1, big posts with no content) but that's not how he is posting right now. This really seems more like his town meta. I don't like how VisceraEyes is avoiding a lynch because people are switching onto easy targets (Sinensis, zentor). We have a really good case on VisceraEyes and people seems to acknowledge this but for some reason no one is voting him which I don't like. Why did slOosh change away from some guy who he says he thinks is pretty much confirmed mafia just to lynch some easy target in zentor? I like this whole post actually. You've put your finger on why I'm feeling uncomfortable. The thing is - was Zentor's refusal to answer my question on Sinensis (repeatedly) scummy? For definite. I mean, I only got antagonistic after I had to ask him for the third time. But why the deuce would he actually pick a whole fight with me? I mean, surely he can't be so unselfaware that he wouldn't know he would come off worse on that one. I'm just remembering WoF where, for reasons that are still a mystery to the entire community, as town he decided to piss off the entire game and get himself lynched. He's basically talked himself into being lynched, which is super dumb as townie but perhaps on the flip side, unforgivable/unconceivable as scum. Sigh. Actually I think I could get down with a VE lynch. Some of what's been in the cases so far I've agreed with, some not. I think the most mileage comes from examining his votes and the reasons behind them. I will go over the cases on him and his filter and see what I think. Actually as of yesterday I felt I could lynch VE, but I didn't feel the need to let that out the bag so early. | ||

This may or may not be a long post... First of all, Zephirdd latches on to this post from VE: On July 09 2012 00:17 Zephirdd wrote: You know what I see from this? "I don't want to mess with you, so I'll stay on a safe spot". It's been quite a while since I've seen such a wishy washy post like this. Zephirdd is right, extremely wishy-washy. VE's response: On July 09 2012 03:15 VisceraEyes wrote: I've played with Sin before - if Sin is town, he'll just shut down if someone is unequivocally calling him scum. I wanted to avoid that, so I wanted to make sure he understood what I was saying. If you perceive that as "wishy washy" or "hedgy" then obviously that's your right. So yeah, I just gonna keep doin what I'm doin. This is where I'd like to talk about VE's town play. Well, prplhz/slOosh/anyone following Movie could see - he attacked me fairly mercilessly for two cycles. And in general VE is known for pursuing his target. Yet here there is no aggression at all. "I'm not saying you're scum either" he says. Actually he had been, he did on Day 1, and he continued to do so on Day 2. Relatedly, we have a VE defence at some of the accusations thrown at him: On July 09 2012 10:21 VisceraEyes wrote: Those attacking me aren't taking into account my typical town play. That's pretty much all I have to say on the matter. Smooches. Maybe fair enough, except what's this? On July 10 2012 05:06 VisceraEyes wrote: I haven't given up on the game - I'm playing it differently than normal. I know, that's scummy as shit. Honestly if you're willing to lynch me for saying that then we've probably lost anyway. :/ He can't have it both ways. He's defending himself because it's his "typical" town play - and yet here he clearly acknowledges he is NOT playing his typical town play. This is a pretty large inherent contradiction going on. You can't defend yourself saying it's your normal town play, before going on to say you're not playing normally. Does not compute. The manner in which he voted or did/did not pursue people also seems pretty scummy. After the initial flurry of anger at prplhz's play and cop claim (I'm still not totally 100% on it either way btw), the votes died off him. But he makes a thing at the end of Day 1 of saying "but i wanted to lynch prplhz guyzzz". Yeah except really he never pushed it. He didn't push anything. He's not actively pursued prplhz today either, or even tried to engage the rest of town on the issue (like I did). VE told me himself recently that one way to try to differentiate between his alignments is the reasoning he gives for votes - piggybacking others or providing his own: On July 08 2012 02:28 VisceraEyes wrote: ##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. Here he adds nothing against Sinensis other than "I agree" and in fact his only point is that he's kinda defending Sinensis for posting defensively. There are other little bits and bobs, like where he randomly has a go at me: On July 10 2012 01:42 VisceraEyes wrote: Why doesn't anyone want to win? I told you, vote for Sinensis. Christ, it's like you people aren't listening at all. Marv, I agree that prplhz cop claim is horse-shit. I said this yesterday, and you've since said that you want to lynch me. So it's what the fuck ever. At that point I had not in any way indicated I wanted to lynch VE. This is both a failure to read the thread and it also betrays a defensive, scummy mindset. ##Unvote ##Vote: VisceraEyes | ||

I know it feels weird to say that, but would you switch to Zentor? Things like this make me feel uneasy to just let him go. I don't think he ever explained this. Why would you post a list of three players at night if not to make a scum list? Why would you post a list at all? Note how he made the list before marv claimed vigi - which means he wasn't confirmed. This: Appealing to Emotion on a less vocal player, trying to make him feel uneasy of his read. VE has been quite active lately. Most of us have just been looking down to him. But what was the reasoning to switch out of Zentor? This feels like a mistake? That's bullshit. I hate to say this marv, but we've been following your gut too hard. We've been lazy. If VE flips town, everyone is going to be demoralized and we're going to LYLO the next day. We have 6 votes on VE. I will switch into Zentor and leave to you decide since I'll probably not be around here at deadline(tuesday party time hooray). With 5 votes, a lynch is doable. If I recall correctly, the general sentiment on the thread is that both of them are scum. As long as there is not a no-lynch, we're fine, right? Seriously, I invite everyone to re-read Zentor's filter and reconsider it, as well as reading the last few posts by VE. ##unvote ##vote MrZentor Cases were made, no? I was under the impression that was why we were lynching VE. | ||

And slOosh isn't the type to be swayed by connections that don't exist, which strikes "VE is on Zentor" from the list of possibilities...so why? Why would he pull support from a Zentor lynch in favor of a VE lynch if he thinks we're both scum? And what about his mysterious read on Sinensis?

This has nothing to do with the fact that he's attacking me - it has to do with the reasons I just gave you. Prplhz checking MsZontar didn't make sense - she was on track to be the lynch today, and was the target of vigs, by the vocal townies in the thread. Sinensis would have been a much better check, or me if he's suspicious of me, or Zentor, or FUCKING ANYONE but MsZontar. You guys should seriously scrutinze prplhz if he lives tomorrow and is roleblocked again. So, my reads at time of death, is slOosh, prplhz, Sinensis. What I don't get is this. Your latest and greatest read prior to us lynching you was Zentor. And suddenly he's not on your scumteam. | ||

Zephirdd, we need to address this and we need to do it right now. I find the bolded entirely incorrect. 1) A cop not being rbed in this circumstance is an immediate lynch for the claimed cop. The possible wifom benefits for mafia of not roleblocking cop are FAR outweighed by the risks that prplhz gets a red check (or confirms another townie). i.e. prplhz claims not to be rbed, 100% he gets lynched the next day 2) For this reason it would not create suspicion on Dangeresque. What kinda fucktarded mafia team would roleblock some random townie (me) instead of a claimed cop? That's just nonsense thinking. Your whole viewpoint on this concerns me deeply.

For your options, the assumptions are as follows: 1) Sinensis wanted to deceive us 2) Ditto 3) Sinensis made a mistake The assumption that Sinensis wanted to deceive us does not strike me as particularly more unlikely than he made a mistake. Or in terms of simplicity, 1) is extremely simple. Mafia wanted to deceive town. That's all. | ||

If we don't have a scum game to look at, how do we compare? Of course a scum Sinensis would try to play similarly to his town meta. It's why you have several players on this forum (out of this game alone, me, bugs, VE spring to mind) where it's pretty hard to distinguish our alignment because we play our scum meta so similarly to our town meta. | ||

Then remember a whole bunch of his posts this game where he's having a go at people, emotionally lunging, playing with his heart on his sleeve or whatever? Look at how that post is constructed.

You're scum because you're playing differently than usual (not merely 'more confidently' as per Movie analysis). You're scum because you have several posts where my brow furrowed at the train of thought which pretty much never happens to me with town slOosh.

He agrees on wiggles without explanation here, but WITHOUT A VOTE, and only after 3 people had voted wiggles does he join them. He gives no real explanation for why he's happy to vote wiggles over his 2 preferred candidates, only repeating others in that "he doesn't seem to be playing like his town self". He doesn't even say why HE'S not voting Sinensis, merely why others aren't. Then there's this post where he claims to have 'buyer's remorse'. Trying to look good but ever since wiggles was brought up, slOosh did nothing to push his main 2 reads. Basically what I'm getting at is this. slOosh had 2 people he said he was happy to lynch on day 1, prplhz and Sinensis (especially). But when push came to shove and the wiggles wagon started, he jumped over to wiggles without barely a peep about why this was a good idea, and he never pushed his 2 preferred lynches. Which brings us on to his interactions with Sinensis. Sinensis goes from being slOosh's primary day 1 read to... town. On July 08 2012 13:54 slOosh wrote: Well if Sinensis is stubborn town, and prplhz is weirdo town, then D1 was wild goose chase, and therefore scum probably played lazy / lurkeresque style, making sure to fit in but not really needing to put in any effort. Thereby you could probably find them among the pile of players who didn't really push town a certain direction. Would you guys agree with this assessment? Before this point there is basically no mention of why Sinensis might be town - the only mention is a post I linked above where he said "several OTHER people are feeling iffy based off Sinensis' meta". VE (the dead, confirmed townie, just as a reminder guys) had this to say: On July 11 2012 07:16 VisceraEyes wrote: I'm looking at slOosh here. The strangest part about his support of my lynch is the fact that he's completely unwilling to hear me defend myself....but I find that completely scummy because he was willing to lynch MrZentor before that. And slOosh isn't the type to be swayed by connections that don't exist, which strikes "VE is on Zentor" from the list of possibilities...so why? Why would he pull support from a Zentor lynch in favor of a VE lynch if he thinks we're both scum? And what about his mysterious read on Sinensis? All he's said on the matter is "I have my reasons" and "he's looking more townie" but never elaborates on why...especially considering he was present DURING Sinensis' defense and was arguing with him. He never comments on my comments on Sinensis, which I find scummy because if he were a townie and had a change of heart re: Sinensis, it seems to me that he'd at least be interested in what I have to say on the matter...but it's never mentioned. Not. Once. Marv mentioned it, and semi-agreed with it. But slOosh couldn't be bothered. Ultimately, I'm reading slOosh as scum. This has nothing to do with the fact that he's attacking me - it has to do with the reasons I just gave you. There's little else to say on the matter, VE explains it well. A bit more on this Sinensis thing later. It's been mentioned by others already, but the fact remains that he said he was happy to lynch either Zentor or VE, and later on he said he was only willing to vote VE. On July 11 2012 01:02 slOosh wrote: I don't care who we lynch, I think they are both scum. I'm comfortable with lynching all three as individuals, and even more so as a team. I also want to consolidate. I'll be trusting marv's and Zephirdd's judgements here. My preference however goes to MrZentor based on how they are keen to redirect the lynch. ##Unvote MrZentor ##Vote VisceraEyes (I'll be checking up online all day so consider my vote good on whoever). Bolded passage here - "I'll be trusting marv and Zeph's judgements". Well, what WERE our judgements? Zephirdd unvoted VE and went over to Zentor. And I was clearly feeling by the end of the day that I didn't want to lynch VE. So both the people he trusts the judgements of, wanted to get their votes off VE. Given this slOosh should be trusting our judgements and seeing why this is the case. Instead he shouts and rants and screams at me to keep lynching VE. slOosh does not look for possible reasons VE might be town despite his two most trusted reads expressing at the very least grave misgivings about the VE lynch. Scummy change of attitude folks. On July 11 2012 10:36 slOosh wrote: Think critically. Sit tight and watch a lying scum flip. I pulled this up at the time but now I'm doing it again. To remind you all, slOosh conveniently forgot in this selection of quotes the fact that he had said he was fine with lynching wiggles. He's trying to dig the boot in here and it almost worked - except unexpectedly I went back and checked slOosh's filter. Why did I go back and check? Because I inherently did not trust slOosh. When I pull him up on this he's all MISTAKE. IT'S JUST A MISTAKE. Fucking bullshit it's a mistake. It's a blatant scumslip. slOosh is normally thorough as shit but here he not only forgot something, he tried to kick VE based on twisted evidence. Again, the post where he said he was fine lynching wiggles was RIGHT ABOVE his vote on wiggles. Hard to miss. Concluding: we can analyse slOosh's actions through the day 1 and day 2 lynch. Day 1 he had 2 main reads that he abandoned easily in favour of a 3rd person with no explanation given. His strongest day 1 read (Sinensis) morphed into a town read with barely an explanation. Day 2 he says he's happy to vote for either Zentor or VE, but later demonstrates this is not the case. He says he trusts my/Zeph's judgement, but when both our judgements are we don't want to lynch VE, he rants and raves instead. He posts a bogus piece of evidence that might have slipped by if I had not gone back to check. None of his actions surrounding both lynches have been pro town in any way. These are the main salient facts. There are other little things that are hard to describe. Somewhere in my filter I said I had the most notes on slOosh of any player (and this was pretty early, so no "i always die day 1" stuff) whereas normally slOosh plays in a manner that is pretty easy to read. Basically his posting has felt off to me for most of the game. slOosh must hang. more to come on Sinensis if I get the energy | ||

I said it earlier, I'm not gonna excuse anyone on 'meta' when we don't have a bloody scum game to compare his meta to. Screw meta. Let's look at this game. I would basically invite you to look at VE's filter to see some reasons on Sinensis, starting after the day 1 lynch especially. Anyway. Sinensis had lots of interaction and arguments with slOosh. Sinensis and slOosh basically had this big to and fro day 1 where slOosh was calling sinensis scum, and Sinensis was calling slOosh 'suspicious' etc. (as you can see). We know what happened to slOosh's read magically. What about Sinensis? Well actually Sinensis past this point never mentions slOosh again (cept muuuuuuuuuuch later, see below). Basically the whole day 1 interactions between these 2 are just a front, because either nothing is pushed (from Sinensis end) or the case is just fully dropped (from slOosh's end). It's such bs. Generally Sinensis has done fuck all scumhunting. I talked about this at the time but the way Sinensis pushed on Zephirdd only made people NOT want to lynch Zephirdd. It was fakey fakey scumhunting because he was never pushing anything. He votes for VE on day 2 on the basis of someone else's comments (Zeph's, his previous scumread - who let us remind ourselves, moved off VE) and saying that VE was 'less focused, desperate'. He reiterates that he's stubborn about who he votes for. But there's just no substance at all. Nothing he's done has had substance, the pushes on Zeph and VE are totally empty. He threatens me at the end of day 2 with voting for me next day for not voting VE. There's just nothing town motivated anywhere in his filter. Oh, and slOosh does pop up again, at the end of his filter: On July 12 2012 05:56 Sinensis wrote: ##vote: MrZentor A lot of people seem to think sloosh is scum. I'm not going to disagree with them. I don't believe you went this entire game being unsuspicious of Zeph, only to read sloosh's surprise case against him and be convinced in any way. Now slOosh is scum again. As per usual for Sinensis this game, no reasoning or explanations. Again, now that we know VE is town, reconsider the following passage (look inside): On July 10 2012 02:05 VisceraEyes wrote: This is huge, by my estimation. It clearly illustrates that he's not looking at the thread from the same perspective as me (town). We didn't trust VE at the time, but look at what he's saying. Sinensis is looking at the game from a different perspective to the (confirmed) townie. For some reason at the time I was the only one who actually agreed with VE's interpretation of events, everyone else attacked him for it. Now re-read and see. I wish I could make this case a bit longer. But there's not a lot else to say, because his filter is so devoid of content. What detritus is there I have picked through. Scumteam are therefore: slOosh, Sinensis, and one of prplhz, MrZentor Check on prplhz's activity. He started off aggressive but his activity and tone has tailed off. Zentor has plenty of scummy stuff but Zentor is Zentor so, meh. I think Zeph is town. Danger is MIA but it's hard to believe he's not town. I have the feeling BL is town also from how the day 2 lynch went down (his emotional response, the fact his unvote made it possible for me to save VE). | ||

An example of these 2 things working together is Bang Bang, where I lynched (shot) gonzaw the claimed cop. I thought the claim was iffy, but most of all I expected MORE from his play previously (there had been holes). But I was wrong and gonzaw had simply played more suboptimally than I expected.

I want ALL of town's thoughts on this please. | ||

You've played/obsed enough games with VE in. What he did in this game was nothing compared to the spam/crap/whatever he can put into a thread. I don't believe your massive overreaction to it was genuine. Again, I will take the time later to read your cases. | ||

I went back and re-read from where you linked. 5 posts VE made there, none which were particularly awful. Like, I couldn't remember the episode without looking because it was so unremarkable. To use that as an excuse for giving up on seeing him as town is... well, scummy. | ||

WHY PLAY LIKE THAT IF YOU'RE COP. goddamnit. I went and re-read the lynch day 2 again. I just can't get over his behaviour, it's not right. slOosh; some of your cases make sense. But ultimately actions (lynch day 2) count more than words (cases after the fact). | ||

They basically rest on the fact that both blue claims are false, and that there is a scum roleblocker. On balance reasons we must have at least another blue, if not 2. In this situation (basically lylo) I think any blues should claim. We need maximum information right now, their survival through the night is kinda irrelevant. | ||

Or is the ballsyness of the situation too much balls to be considered as plausible? (prplhz scum D77 scum and they lie about prplhz roleblock and have D77 pretend to be jailor, Zeph's alignment irrelevant to plan but treatment of Zeph still strange.) that wasn't really my point, my point is if everything you say was true, we'd have another blue out there and they should claim, to limit our choices down. | ||

I'll lay it out for everyone: From scum perspective, they have 1kp. Perhaps they have 2kp from strongarm. If D77 is town jailor, they will know that a marv prot is certain. Therefore, unless they had 2kp from strongarm, they wouldn't make the shot on marv - it just doesn't make sense. It is totally sensible to shoot D77 - I mean, no one suspects him, everyone has basically accepted that he is jailor. If they did have 2kp, maybe they shot marv, and since we had an additional medic prot, he didn't die. However, this still doesn't explain why knowing that it is this situation rather than scum using delay helps us. What is to gain from outing the medic? Will it not result in more surefire shots from the scum team? How does it help town at all to know the possible presence of a strongarm which has already been used up? D77 isn't asking people thoughts on possibilities, he is straight up asking medic to claim. This isn't asking about the possibility of a medic - he is inviting medics to claim. 1) it confirms danger 2) it confirms the medic basically Two less people to consider for lynch at lylo not bad odds who gives a shit if the medic is outed at this point? | ||

Scum could have had a practically guaranteed shot at a suspicious/non-obvious townie bringing it to 4-3 There would be no reason to try a plan to out the medic to get extra kills when they forfeited the chance to kill a townie last night, it makes no sense | ||

That's why you shitting around earlier in the game making stupid lists of 3 names and refusing to answer my questions, that's why that stuff is harmful. Because by later in the game I'm policy ignoring you for either being scum or town who doesn't even know why he bloody posts the things he posts. | ||

Obviously the slOosh lynch was a big mistake in hindsight. I'm not saying I played ok, clearly I didn't. But if you're town then you need to make posts that are going to make people trust what you say. Instead you litter the scummy shit in with your reads and so I/people don't want to listen to you. That's why it's frustrating, because you clearly have decent reads sometimes, but what's the point if no-one ever trusts you? | ||

you do things like make lists of 3 names, with no explanation, that you "can't remember why" a couple of days later. You say Sinensis is scummy but when I ask you about it you for some reason refuse to answer me repeatedly. My question to you was 100% valid, because at first he was cautious and mechanical, but then he changed, but you never provided a reason why he was still scum, you just said his change in behaviour was "extremely scummy" There's no reasonable town motivation to do either the random list you can't explain, nor is there a motivation to not explain your scumread to the rest of town without me having to threaten you for it. That's why people don't trust you... | ||

Because for me to trust your motivations on why Sinensis is scum, I/town need to hear from you why Sinensis is scum. Otherwise the whole game devolves into maybe two people make a case on a couple of people and everyone says "I agree with x" or "I agree with y". Then you have no information about absolutely anyone, no information about the way they think. I already know why others find him scummy, I don't know why you in particular do, what in the other cases you agree with most, what it is that really makes you think he's scum. | ||

You should've listened to me on the VE/MrZentor shit tho T_T Especially to you, the last few posts from VE should be evidence that he was town. This was your biggest mistake IMO. To be honest, even without the vig shot, I'd never think of you as scum all game long. Confirming yourself was insanely good though. Well done. Not much else to say really. Maybe don't doubt your MrZentor lynch like that? ![]() 2. NoSmurfHere(wbg?) Vanilla claim was great LOL. It actually worked into catching bluelightz. I don't know why we didn't push him more, and instead opted for his target day 1. Overall, I don't remember doubting your innocence and felt you were a good day 1 shot target(along with me and marv). 3. slOosh When you say you'll do something, do it goddamnit. Like voting Zentor when we ask. You also gotta agree your case on me was terrible. The reason is simple: I didn't give space for a good case come at me. You became paranoid when I started tunneling you, and I think you should revise that. Your earlier posts also looked a bit shady; On MSMM, you were very different. That's why we all had so much suspicion on you. 6. Dangeresque77 Somehow, I feel that instaclaim on JK was the correct thing to do. I hate the lack of breadcrumbs, but instaclaiming right after I claim the rb was good because this is a mini and there was another confirmed town. However, you lacked on your vanilla department. Your scumhunting was sub-par, and most of the time you were only sheeping marv and me. Doubt everything, and play for yourself. Don't leave the game on the hands of the others, especially when you are semi-confirmed. 8. Sinensis When you are town, don't overthink your posts. That gives us mechanical posts that resemble a lot of a cautious scum. You were vanilla, you didn't had to be shy. You did a good job pissing me off day 1 though; and I admit it gave me some ideas for some cool plays. Still, you sheeped too much and put too little pressure into the scum team. These are some things worth mentioning 10. VE I'm sorry ![]() This is how it worked for me. I thought you were town. Then I realized you were always in the middle of the voters. Then I remembered that (useless) text I read about voters. Then I made some suspicion on you, thought you were scum, but your reactions made me realize you actually were town. To be honest, purely defending yourself is bad. When you are under pressure, you gotta show you are town not only by defending yourself, but by showing you can find scum. You didn't show much of scumhunting day 1 either. You improved from MSMM though, and that's awesome. Much better to play with you here. 11. MsZontar Next time your brother doesn't help you with the game, call him scum please. Post more, be more active. Forum mafia is very different from live mafia as in it requires a lot more activity and you can't just go "I'm not sure ##vote". Hopefully you get these things right in the future :D 12. drwiggl3s The lynch on you was bad. I was away at the time and couldn't fight against it. Well, I'm not sure how I'd react though. Day 1 lynches are always a pain though so there isn't much I can talk about here ;x The Aberrants MrZentor I KNEW YOU WERE FUCKING SCUM SADGASFDHSDFHKJAHDJKFGASKJDGHDF well played sir. At various points, I was thinking "wait, I think I'm wrong" and I thought you were town by the endgame. I'm glad my case on you was objectively correct though, helps me hunt moar :D prplhz BALLS. Claiming cop day 1? Fuck you. Why didn't I question that. I had you, but you came back with some emotional bullshit and a cop claim? I mean, that's a prime example of an excellent use of TL mafia meta, when we had so many mislynches by bullshit lately. Congratulations. Bluelightz I had a lot of doubts on you, but I thought all the time "He is always a big question mark so I can't read him". I can't believe it took me so long to realize you were scum. Well played sir. Overall, scum team successfully raped town. I feel ashamed to let the day 1 stuff pass by that way. Anyways, GGWP scum. Deserve a mention on mafia awards. Zephirdd - it was a pleasure playing with you, you really stepped up your town game from how I remembered it (perhaps unfairly?). I hope to play as town along with you again soon. The irony is that prplhz was our first case and then Zentor was our first majority on day 2. Should have stuck with our instincts early... | ||

And then Zentor had a suicide wish taking me on day 2. Not going to take suicide/aggressiveness as a 'scum wouldn't do that' defence anymore. | ||

No one in mafia really was considered very townie yet all of them were able to cover for each other. Happened in a couple of games recently. "this lynch is too easy/fast" especially. Learnt that this is a terribad reason. prplhz was right earlier. I let myself (and, by extension, the rest of town) get moved off Zentor by leaving myself open to it and one single post from prplhz. Obvious in hindsight. | ||
