My latest case against you was meant to show how your line of play makes sense as scum. I think it does.

@ s0Lstice
I've considered the Mattchew lynch. There are things about his play that don't sit well with me, but I've given him the BOTD because his case against gonzaw was pretty good. If you can drum up support, I'll consider him.

Fuck it. I'm going for Mattchew.

Here's why:
- His reads haven't shifted much. I see this as scummy, not townie. I looked back and he was finding gonzaw scummy from, I believe, the middle of D2.
- His attempt to take credit for the tali lynch.
- He's avoided commenting on players outside of his tunnel-vision.

I can see scum motivation for all these things.

4) Milton: Holy shit this post looks bad. As much as the cases against gonzaw look scummy, theres no way I would say he's spewing shit and half-baked opinions all over the thread. The roleblock claim is weird, but I can't necessarily think it is scummy if there's the possibility that marv was RB'd and shot night 1.

@ Keirathi
Have you tried reading through gonzaw's filter, much less try and keep track of the opinions he's constantly spouting? It's enough to get anyone frustrated. I let my temper out a little bit there.

I was looking through Mafia LVI, like s0Lstice advised, and I noticed that Mattchew was a lot more active posting reads against/for any and all players. He did that as medic, a role that has a reason keeping it's head down. I'd imagine a VT Mattchew would be more open with his reads.

Mattchew has largely kept his commentary on the players he is tunneling. This is a good scum tactic that keeps him from ever contradicting himself or slipping. His play for credit in the talismania lynch was also pretty damn scummy.

@ gonzaw
It's mostly a gut feeling. There's also a little post that I missed from talismania. I don't have time to quote it. I might later though. It gave me the impression that he was planning to sheep behind you for the rest of the game. His awkward posts make a bit more sense that way. I'm still not 100% sure on you. I'm going to wait and see how Mattchew flips.

I think I've found scum. Sciberbia's approach to each of our three lynches has been different each time.

sciberbia's approach to the 1st lynch:

I think there is least resistance to a dropbear lynch. I'd be willing to consolidate on dropbear. Is anyone strongly opposed to a dropbear lynch?

Here he is willing to vote for dropbear because there is "least resistance" to a dropbear lynch. This does not sit well with me, particularly because earlier he had posted this regarding dropbear.

@ sciberbia
I would be interested in hearing your opinion of DropBear.


Sorry I just spotted this while going through your filter.

In short, I am pretty neutral on him. His first post feels townie to me. His next couple posts feel sketchy. His vote on vivax is not a scumtell IMO. I think scum would be extremely wary of voting with so little reasoning. His conviction in a talis & vivax scumteam seems a bit suspicious. I really just don't have a strong feel on him one way or the other.

I don't see how he's willing to consolidate on DropBear when earlier he's got a pretty neutral read on him. Most townies will do their best to push whichever lynch they think is better. If you look at our 2nd and 3rd lynch, sciberbia pushed pretty hard for the lynches to go his way. I've come to suspect that our first lynch was between two townies, considering the fact that now I have a fairly strong town read on DropBear. Townies didn't know that at the time and would have been extremely invested in the lynch. Scum would know that we were picking between two townies, and thus wouldn't care as much. Sciberbia didn't seem too invested in our 1st lynch, especially compared to how hard he pushed these last two lynch efforts. True, sciberbia did qualify his statement with this

@Risen
I'd love to lynch Vivax at this point but there just doesn't seem to be enough support for it.

but I still feel like he wasn't truly invested in how the 1st lynch turned out. I'm also wary of how easily he was convinced of Vivax's townieness.

oh ow NOW vivax is giving me a really townie feel. Does anybody else see his last two posts as townie?

This sudden change of opinion feels rather forced. I feel like it's a bit of a show.


sciberbia's approach to the 2nd lynch:
+ Show Spoiler +
We all know the story, he pushed the talismania lynch really hard. I feel like both Mattchew and sciberbia came out of nowhere and put their full weight behind a talismania lynch. I don't remember who posted this, but they said that if sciberbia had bussed talismania it would have been an "old school style bus" where the player tunnels their scum buddy hardcore. Well we now know that's what Mattchew did, why not sciberbia too?

This is a minor point and it could be incorrect, but with Mattchew so all-in on a talismania lynch I almost find it likely that his scumbuddy was also pushing for a tali lynch. Why get town cred for one player when you can get it for two, correct?

Here are a few examples of him pushing the talismania lynch. Hopefully you can spot the differences between his attitude in the D1 lynch and the D2 lynch.

I feel much better about my reads right now than I did D1. Here are top 3 most suspicious:

1) talismania: I really want to lynch him.
2) gonzaw: I have a few minor points against him, but other than that it's gut feeling. He reminds me a lot of mafia Xatalos from NMM XV. gonzaw and talis are linked as scumbuddies in my mind. I want to see talis flip red before we lynch gonzaw.
3) keirathi: still seems somewhat suspicious; mostly for reasons I've already stated

I really need a break from this game so I'm just going to make a case on talismania before getting some much-needed sleep. It's almost 7am here. I'll post thoughts on other people tomorrow.



My case on talismania

fixation on his plan
This has already been talked about in other cases; those of austinmcc and miltonkram I believe. It's a bit weird how wrapped up he gets in proposing his plan, defending his plan, and analyzing reactions to his plan. In particular, I find his assemblage of reactions suspicious:

I'd rather lynch talis for his never-ending bullshit on listing names and reasons.

Seriously, 24 hours into day 1 and we're supposed to come up with reasons on 3 different people for why they might be scum? It's just nonsense.

Or... wait for it... I have an idea! If someone says something a person finds scummy, they can call them out and bring it to the thread! Wow, marv, you say - an amazing plan!

People shouldn't be 'forced' to make effort, the making of the effort willingly is what helps gives us our reads on people.



Predictably shits on it, suggests policy lynching me out of his annoyance that I keep proposing these dumb plans.

You can see the recurring theme in all 3 (just 1 post, promising something/appearing they are eager to start but not doing anything else later).

marv, talismania, anybody active, what do you think about these guys? If you had to kill one of them which one would you choose and why? (if you don't want to kill anyone then say so).

Also this guy could die too:

Screw the number and size of posts. I'm not a scientist, but it looks like talismania's been town --> scum --> town --> scum --> town. Therefore, he's scum this game.

I know that millers are supposed to claim D1, but I don't see why we'd want claims on other roles right now. Except from marv, who needs to let us know whether he's a vigi or scum this game, since those are the only roles that he rolls.


But at least he put a little bit more effort (although that's not town-telling)

Dropbear and Milton haven't even posted, but well we can't do anything about it.


Actually follows the plan - as I said seems rather townie. Especially the timing.

Anyway I want to hear more from austin his first post doesnt sit well with me

That's because there's basically nothing to my first post except "Millers claim," which isn't helpful.

What I can add is that I think talismania's 3-case plan is bad, but that seems to be the general sentiment. Forcing arbitrary requirements on everyone isn't really going to help us, and is going to clog up the thread later. People are going to make halfhearted cases to try to reach that number, someone will inevitably only find 1-2 people scummy and we'd end up in some "does x not making 3 cases = scummy?" discussion, and we also might end up lynching people that EVERYONE finds a little bit scummy rather than someone that a few people have a strong scumread on for good reasoning.

Can also add that I haven't played with gonzaw, but I've obsed his recent games. Anyone here feel like they do a good job reading him, and if so, can you post some tips? I've found that I almost always end up reading him as scum, because he is active enough and posts enough that I keep finding scummy things to latch on to. Had him scum at the end of liar game just prior to the katina lynch, but also found him really scummy in the recent MTG because I felt like some of the plans he pushed hard were anti-town (check the obsqt early on, although I didn't post much there). So...any magical tricks for getting the right read on Gonzaw?


Actually this reads scummy again on the second go-round too. He says he's about to "add" something but literally just copies/expands on what marv said and doesn't add anything at all.

Sorry was getting dinner.

I was verbose because I have some shared experience with sciberbia, whom I was replying to. I know that most (all?) of his TL mafia experience was in newbie games, and the dynamic is just different when you can assume that people know how to play the game.

As far as talismania's plan, I feel like it makes it too easy for mafia to blend in. The more townies you have making arguments against other townies, the easier you can push mislynches and not have to take any blame for them. There are other things wrong with it, but Mattchew and austin beat me to it. No need rehashing what they said.



Mmm I think this is innocuous. He might not even have responded if he hadn't been asked to.

On the majority lynch, day 1 this tends to be a right kerfuffle. I can't think of any system that has ever worked on day 1 in games I have been part of. So fuck a system, we deal with it when the time comes. There should be solid candidates by then anyway.


Actually this doesn't sit that well with me at all. Conversation had started to move on and then he brings it back to my plan and says the same shit everyone else did. I also don't like his misrepresentation of my views on the roleblocker's use of their power.

This means I can only post when I have wifi, which is a change from my normal method. I've also been busy at work so please don't expect much from me before 8pm CET.


Now for serious stuff: I'm going to be watching marv like a motherfuking hawk.

I think hosts tend to try to "balance" games sometimes by tweaking their scum team selection; however, that can and has led to extra info from town through balance speculation. Marvellosity makes an extremely tempting player for hosts to do this kind of balancing, because his scum play is empirically very good, but he isn't a "veteran" so he's not likely to be the subject of balance speculation.
I also suspect bugs of doing this kind of balancing.
+ Show Spoiler [reasons, from wheel of fortune.] +
The last of his c++ games I played in was wheel of fortune. That was a stacked game and I was one of the worst players in it, although I did eventually manage to figure out the scum team (and got shot for having correct reads before I could push some of them). With the benefit of hindsight, that scum team looks almost perfectly balanced for the player base. Radfield was town, ace was scum. VE and Forumite were both good players, but only on the edge of being full-on vets. I firmly believe that town would have won that game if Radfield hadn't decided to use a DT check on Ace, who was godfather. That kind of closeness is the sign of a well-balanced game; and the odds that both town and scum would have their best player as their best power role are very small from pure chance.


So what does this mean? I am NOT proposing to policy lynch marvellosity; if he's town he can be a great asset, and besides that's totally against the spirit of the game. What I AM saying is that I think when someone points out something scummy he does, we should take it pretty seriously. Pure chance wouldn't explain why he has rolled scum in something like half his games since our first game together (noob 6) while I have rolled it once - him being good and me not does explain that.


NOW: having told you why you should pay attention, I'm going to point out something scummy marv has done. That thing is: propose/say he would be okay with lynching Talismania.

Talismania's plan IS anti town. When Ace is host and he tells an obs QT how good a plan is for scum, you better believe he knows what he's talking about. Systematic case proposing plans give scum an excuse to make shitty reads and blend in, because everyone is making shitty cases and dumb reads. That kind of plan dilutes good information and adds bad information.

HOWEVER: Talismania proposes this plan as town. All the time. Like, every game. Usually "pushing scummy plans" is a decent scum tell; but this specific player pushing this specific plan is not. And Marvellosity should know this. Marv has obs'd at least two games where Talismania proposed this plan or a variation of it (ssb, bangbang). Tali has proposed this in other games. Marv is the kind of player who pays attention; he should also know that I've pushed tali hard for these plans in the past, as have others. Marv putting tali forward as his first lynch candidates comes down to an easy push on an easy target for reasons he should know are bad.

Marv, I'm watching you.

+ Show Spoiler [on Talismania, briefly] +
I'm not saying tali is an easy target in general, like kenpachi or grush would be. He's not that kind of shitty player slash bad case magnet. It's just that for marv to propose him for lynch based on that plan is scummy.


He's right about me always pushing this idea althoguh I think he's overreacting to marv's reaction.


So actually not that many people commented on it even though I thought like everyone did oops.

My views:

scummy responses: austinmcc, dropbear

null responses: marv, mattchew, keirathi, strongandbig

townie response: gonzaw

did not respond directly although was in the thread: Risen, sciberbia, solstice


This just feels like one of those busy-work summaries that scum do to make it look like they are contributing. It also ties in with his insisting that his plan has promoted discussion. Overall, all this talk about the plan is unproductive and slightly suspicious.

consistently wishy/washy
Here are some examples of some wishy/washiness. Several of these raise yellow flags for me:

On the other hand he's also been fairly focused on just a couple players, which is a scum indicator.

Keirathi: Well he's conditional town or conditional scum at this point. Like I think he was way too neutral in the beginning as someone else pointed out but he's also onto dropbear as I am.

I feel like we were just lynching between a bunch of townies yesterday. If I had to guess, I'd say there is only 1 scum between our many lynch candidates: dropbear, vivax, miltonkram, s0Lstice, austinmcc, risen, and keirathi.

So I think the mafia must have felt very at ease and not really cared too much who actually got lynched. Talis was just too calm in the hour leading up to the lynch. For example, what was he doing in between these two posts:

I dunno. I'm starting to think my case on austin is actually stronger than my case on dropbear was in the first place to be perfectly honest. However milton and keirathi also brought up good points on dropbear I think. Unless they were just trying to nudge a bandwagon along? Mmm shit.

Where has gonzaw gone? I kinda expect him to be in here cracking the whip near deadline.

I kinda want to but I kinda don't. My feelings atm are that worst comes to worst, if I have to be wrong about someone I'd rather have a dead town dropbear than a dead town austin because at least austin seems to be trying.



This was a crucial 31 minutes. I don't think any of us actually had any idea who would end up being lynched at this time. But what was talis doing? Looks like he was just sitting around waiting for us to lynch a townie. In the last hour before the lynch, he really does nothing productive at all. He just says a bunch of neutralish things that don't really go anywhere.

I also have serious problems with this post just after we lynched vivax:

@risen I don't know what to make of the risen v vivax to be honest. I liked your case against him but I'm still stuck on dropbear. and if dropbear is scum I can't see vivax being scum either. mmm I better not be tunneling again like I did last time to HiroPro.


Seriously? He says that he hopes he is "completely wrong" about vivax, but he hardly defended Vivax at all. If he really felt strongly about Vivax being town, he should have been positively shouting at people like me/marv/austin/strongandbig to put votes on dropbear instead of vivax, especially seeing as dropbear was supposedly his #1 scumread. But he was just saying useless shit like this:

jesus risen why are you so excited?



According to what talis has said, he really thought dropbear was scum, and he really thought vivax was town. I was a hell of a lot less sure than talis supposedly was, and even I was more invested in the lynch. All of his posts leading up to the lynch seriously bother me.

throws suspicion on easy targets (my townreads)
He throws suspicion on a bunch of easy targets: dropbear, austin, risen, s0Lstice, milton. In fact, he threw suspicion onto just about every lynch candidate, and onto nobody that was not a lynch candidate. His reads are just going with the flow. I feel like he is just gonzaw's parrot. He's quite friendly with both gonzaw and marv (people with most thread control IMO).

@marv: nice shit. solstice was pretty on point activity-wise in ssb64 despite being kind of wrong the whole game (he did get better late game). He simply hasn't been around this game that much. Very curious to see what he thinks of the austin situation since he claims he can read austin so well.

ps risen where you at? Gonzaw wrote some great stuff about you and I want to hear your cases/suspicions since I can't recall actually seeing anything from you along those lines yet.



does not defend his townreads
He never makes an against-the-grain townread. In his entire filter, I don't think he defends anybody at all. He supposedly had townreads on vivax, strongandbig, and mattchew, all 3 of which were under fire at some point, and none of which he did any defending for. This is suspicious to me.

I have a really good feeling about this case. Can we please lynch talis today?

##Vote talismania

I'd just like to note how sciberbia has laid his plan out here. Have you noticed him deviate from his plan of lynching talismania, then pursuing a lynch against gonzaw? He hasn't. I find this incredibly suspicious since town will often deviate from any plans they make whenever new evidence presents itself. It's far more likely for scum to make a plan and then follow it through to completion.

Here's a few other examples of him pushing the tali lynch.

Can you look at the cases on talis and reread his filter? I want your opinion on him. I really think we should lynch him.

I'll post my thoughts on s&b next. Please post your most current thoughts on talis.

Do you recall sciberbia pushing the Vivax lynch this hard? I sure don't.


Shit, I just noticed that the endgame is being posted. I'll just toss this out there and see if I was correct.

@ s0Lstice + sciberbia
Eh, I'm a little frustrated that I spent that much time in sciberbia's filter. But since we're winning this game all is forgiven

@ Keirathi
I thought that scib's change of opinion could have just been for show N2. Anyway, my case against scib wasn't complete when I posted it. I would have spent more time on it if I hadn't seen that the endgame was about to go up.

@ Risen

I would have been so pissed if your cop claim was fake and I had wasted that much time vetting your claim. It almost didn't give me enough time to read up and Mattchew and get convinced to vote for him. Thank you for being a real cop.

@ Risen

I feel like a pretty decent tell against Mattchew was that he wasn't willing to comment often on player's outside of those he was tunneling. It's an extremely convenient way of playing as scum. That was a pretty major difference I noticed between this game and the LVI game that s0Lstice pointed out.

@ gonzaw

I found s0Lstice's case against Mattchew far more concise and convincing. One of the issues with your post-everything-I-think style is that it tends to spread your cases out over several posts and make it difficult to follow your train of thought. If you feel the need to post so much, I'd suggest you go back every once in a while and consolidate your cases against other players into one well thought out post. It would make it a lot easier on your townie brethren.

I wouldn't have suspected Mattchew had he not tried to claim partial credit for the talismania lynch. That was easily the scummiest thing about his play.
