I've been requested as a replacement for another (already going) newbie game since I'm just coming out of newbie games, I've got the time to do two at once, but if the host prefers not to have me in both, I'll happily switch to replacement list.

You can make people do whatever you want them to do with enough charisma as long as you max out bluffing .
Actually using skills (spells or fights I guess?) is lame to make people do something :p

Most underused and overpowered skills in the game. And there's nothing funnier than punishing people for building combat wombats full of cheese. I told them it was an evil campaign, and they'd have the potential to cause paranoia, but nooo, Charisma is a dump stat.

As it turns out, they had a hell of a time until the campaign tapered off because they all stopped thinking the setting sounded cool when they realized I had actually meant it.

As much as information can only help our standing against the scum, wouldn't claims just give them targets? Sure, it gives us the potential to confirm some townies earlier, but if we lose backchannel communication, it could hurt us in the long run, and we might only confirm townies through flips.

Why even bring it up if you're against it?

It seems like this version of a mason really gets exponentially stronger the longer they're active, so I'd probably be against it too.

I'm more interested in VE's intentions actually.
  • Did he mason someone randomly from the get go? Why wasn't he afraid to randomly hit mafia at all? WBG can be pretty manipulative
  • If it was not from the get-go VE probably had a town-read on WBG. If that's the case VE should have no problem at all telling people why he thinks WBG to be town. Someone masoning without even being able to explain why is the most suspicious thing in the world. So VE SHOULD have told WBG why he thinks that he's town if that's really the case.
  • Did VE explain why he masoned you WBG?


I'd rather have an answer quite quick than giving VE some time to write something up.


This seemed off because he seemed to have stopped for the night by the time I went to sleep. So, I looked. Sure enough, you start posting a case 7 hours and change after VE's last post, you vote somewhere in the 8ish hour range, and say you want fast answers 9 hours after his last post.

Asking for an answer quick is one thing if he's posting, but this seems a bit pushy. Trying to force the issue with someone who hasn't posted in hours and use that to make them look scummy?

I can't speak for his motives, because they sure as hell don't make much sense to me yet, but yours just seem scummy.

It's just like posting in the thread with someone except without anyone else seeing it, plus they're going to be extra suspicious of you. Of course you can glean a lot of information just by talking as well, which is a plus regardless.


So lets see. Townie masons are kind of bad because all you can do is privatly talk to someone to get information and a feeling of not some random player, but someone you want to talk to more?

3) One interesting point is that if there is a town mason, there's likely a scum mason. Given the setup description, I find it hard to believe in fact that this would not be the case. This makes the role doubly poisonous/useless for scum. As it stands now, there are 5 scum and 19 townies (25%). If all the masons claim, and scum claims with them, I'm betting it's closer to 50/50 ratio. Maybe 2 town, 2 scum. That's shit for scum, so they won't want to claim. Except that they might think if they don't claim those that do are going to get too much town cred and yadda yadda.

Yeah those kind of speculations always work out and are totally valid and never before produced complete retard lynches!

4) So why not have them claim? Sounds fine to me but I don't think it's necessary either.

Okay. So would I be correct in saying that you think the mason role is so shitty that having it claimed
wouldn't really help anyways, so why bother? If I misunderstood feel free to elaborate.

5) If you are masoned for the day - you MUST claim. There is no reason not to claim that. And save your logs and communications, because that shit needs to end up in the thread eventually.

Why?

I can think of reasons not to claim that, actually. And just because you can do something doesn't really mean you should , right?



But mafia either already knows who the masons are by receiving PMs, or sleep soundly at night knowing the masons are bickering among the townies in private, accusing each other of being scum behind each others' backs.

Along comes WBG and gives away VE, to which you replied:

Pot calling the kettle black...

Let me break this down into simpler terms for you (and I thought that wasn't possible!)

1. Being a mason isn't alignment indicative (therefore outting a mason is rather worthless)

2. The playerbase of this game will not understand stuff unless it's obviously stated.

3. If we are both town then mafia will strongly consider shooting one of us. Which means that we will make good protects. Which means that it potentially forces mafia to shoot suboptimally.


Sorry wbg, I am just too retarded to understand you.


Within the same hour you mason WBG and get your role revealed. This warrants WBG's reveal of your role being anti-town; your role specifically, revealing VE was just "retarded", not necessarily anti-town. If you had filed your mason request before WBG revealed VE, he would have revealed both of you at the same time. BC was online at the time, as per his voting thread announcement, allowing for all of this to happen in rapid succession. You have abused WBG's rash decision making to your advantage, which I commend.

can you walk me through your thought process a little more? It seemed like you were against masons being in public given your agreement with toad. So why did you risk outing yourself?



Its a completely anti town move to out people like that without thoughts on alignment or actually any information. They may have been context with VE, but I thought of it as trading my role for confirming wbg as scum. it is that easy.

Suddenly you become the victim of something you, apparently, could not forsee, making you look town. You try to convince people that WBG's move was anti-town, while the move against VE "may have been context", or was just "retarded", but not anti-town yet.

It doesn't even matter whether WBG is town or mafia! He could be scum, and you may have asked him to rat you out without you even being a mason. I don't know.

But you, Erandorr, I am very impressed with. That was clever. I will strive to be like you in the future.

1. I said the people mason'd shouldn't claim "I was mason'd" because of this:
The biggest issue: If you are masoned you don't claim. Ever. If you are masoned you either got masoned because someone thinks you're scum and wants to sacrifice himself to catch you with a trap in PM-Land for a 1v1 trade (highly unlikely but possible) or you got masoned because the guy thinks it's highly likely you are town and wants to talk with you to get another point of view on reads, to make sure he stays objective. So claiming you got masoned is basicly telling mafia "sup, someone think's I'm the most likely guy to be a townie IN THE GAME. Pretty please don't shoot me though". I don't like outing townreads and I don't like outing the strongest townread someone has either.

by Toad

However, this only applies when you are claiming that YOU YOURSELF were masoned. I admit I didn't put proper thought on this, but wbg says nicely when he says that now medics have their targets and now scum are forced to shot sub-optimaly.

A scum mason fears being outed because that will put him on the spotlight for the whole game. That's not exactly what scum wants.

Also, a medic's biggest dilemma is "who to save". When they have their "MUST SAVE" targets and scum are forced to shot suboptimaly, they are doing their job. Besides, there is always the WIFOM for both medic and scum "but what if I protect someone else because they think he will be save/but what if I shoot him because the medic will prot someone else"; In my opinion, this kind of WIFOM benefits the medic(and town) more than scum who either have to take a chance or shoot a really bad target.

Also, as long as only wbg did it and only now, I guess there is no problem with it.

Now, one odd thing is that wbg has been away for some time already. I usually don't like to think a vet would play badly. Him going away is bad for him being scum AND town. Maybe I'm wrong after all? :S


No Zephirdd, thats not what you said.

You said that masons should not claim unless their life depended on it. I have it as a quote in my post, buddy.

I am going to try this one more time. Slowly. Hang on.

Most of page 2 of his filter is nonsensical babble or ad homs.

He masons onto WBG after WBG outs VE, as "proof" WBG is outing masons. Or maybe to get himself confirmed as a role in hopes he gets some BOTD.

He throws out personal attacks against anyone who disagrees with him repeatedly, an example:

If all the masons claim, and scum claims with them, I'm betting it's closer to 50/50 ratio. Maybe 2 town, 2 scum. That's shit for scum, so they won't want to claim. Except that they might think if they don't claim those that do are going to get too much town cred and yadda yadda.

Yeah those kind of speculations always work out and are totally valid and never before produced complete retard lynches!

4) So why not have them claim? Sounds fine to me but I don't think it's necessary either.

Okay. So would I be correct in saying that you think the mason role is so shitty that having it claimed
wouldn't really help anyways, so why bother? If I misunderstood feel free to elaborate.

5) If you are masoned for the day - you MUST claim. There is no reason not to claim that. And save your logs and communications, because that shit needs to end up in the thread eventually.

Why?

I can think of reasons not to claim that, actually. And just because you can do something doesn't really mean you should , right?



But mafia either already knows who the masons are by receiving PMs, or sleep soundly at night knowing the masons are bickering among the townies in private, accusing each other of being scum behind each others' backs.

Along comes WBG and gives away VE, to which you replied:

Pot calling the kettle black...

Let me break this down into simpler terms for you (and I thought that wasn't possible!)

1. Being a mason isn't alignment indicative (therefore outting a mason is rather worthless)

2. The playerbase of this game will not understand stuff unless it's obviously stated.

3. If we are both town then mafia will strongly consider shooting one of us. Which means that we will make good protects. Which means that it potentially forces mafia to shoot suboptimally.


Sorry wbg, I am just too retarded to understand you.


Within the same hour you mason WBG and get your role revealed. This warrants WBG's reveal of your role being anti-town; your role specifically, revealing VE was just "retarded", not necessarily anti-town. If you had filed your mason request before WBG revealed VE, he would have revealed both of you at the same time. BC was online at the time, as per his voting thread announcement, allowing for all of this to happen in rapid succession. You have abused WBG's rash decision making to your advantage, which I commend.

can you walk me through your thought process a little more? It seemed like you were against masons being in public given your agreement with toad. So why did you risk outing yourself?



Its a completely anti town move to out people like that without thoughts on alignment or actually any information. They may have been context with VE, but I thought of it as trading my role for confirming wbg as scum. it is that easy.

Suddenly you become the victim of something you, apparently, could not forsee, making you look town. You try to convince people that WBG's move was anti-town, while the move against VE "may have been context", or was just "retarded", but not anti-town yet.

It doesn't even matter whether WBG is town or mafia! He could be scum, and you may have asked him to rat you out without you even being a mason. I don't know.

But you, Erandorr, I am very impressed with. That was clever. I will strive to be like you in the future.

if you're town then your play this game has been fucking terrible. i guess maybe you have irl shit but that's really the only explanation i could accept for why you've been playing the way you have instead of how you normally play. like, i usually have a lot of respect for how you play but if you're town this game you're being both stupid and an asshole, and i don't feel like sitting here and taking your shit.

He got pissed off and it resulted in some unwanted behavior. Move on - do you have any objections to a talismania lynch?


forgot to answer this.

My objection to a talismania lynch is that it's not a wbg lynch. I don't understand why his recent behavior makes people think he's town. I don't see how it's alignment indicative.

Read his PM log with Erandorr. Try to approach it from a "what is scum WBG trying to accomplish with his actions" rather than a "is WBG playing as well as what I envision a town WBG would play like".


Just finished reading it.

So you're thinking about this wrong.

wbg's play isn't accomplishing objectives when he gets into this fight with errandor and starts raging everywhere. As I've said before, I think that scum wbg would be just as upset at the prospect of getting lynched for what he sees as shitty reasons as town wbg would. What I see in that pm log is just what wbg said it was - no serious attempt to persuade, except to persuade erandor that he's stupid.

So no, I don't see that chat log as alignment indicative, I see it as "wbg being in a really bad mood for some out of game reason" indicative. Look at his play before the fight between him and erandorr, that's where we have things that are actually valid to analyze.


Could you guys also please look at the "fight" where i try really hard to actually do stuff and he insults me about 100 times.


Which blithely ignores certain parts of the log, like

ME: its about you playing like complete dogshit
ME: you are playing like shit
ME: your logic is really bad
[04.08.12 13:03:32] ME: the one where you got killed
[04.08.12 13:03:42] ME: cause you fucked up as scum?
[04.08.12 13:03:57] ME: okay sry i just thought that was funny


Those are some brilliant examples of attempting productivity, and keeping it calm.

There's several people I have trouble seeing the town motive with, but Erandorr tops the chart for me.

Sorry, but I don't like having my vote bullied, and you sound a little funny too with your inconsistency.

I see Erandorr as scummier than WBG or prp, who seems to mostly be getting wagoned for semi-lurky behavior and a vote people don't like (issued the same way as Erandorr's vote I didn't like) when there are other people lurking harder.

Vote where you want, but don't tell me where to vote, it's not like I'm going to accidentally force a no-lynch here.

OK: Dear all the townies who think they are being cool with voting who they want:
This plays into mafia agenda. This game is plurality lynch. Our concern is never the no lynch. Our concern is not consolidating, allowing mafia votes to have more power (since are on the same page and can pool votes more effectively).

I'm not bullying you - I'm asking you to be realistic. Right now WBG is the frontrunner. He will get lynched unless people unvote him, or people vote someone else more than him. You have the power to do that latter. However, sticking your vote on someone who has no votes is essentially throwing away your vote. Unless you think WBG is scum and prplhz isn't there should be any reason not to vote prplhz. Please realize that independence weakens town's ability to lynch correctly.


I honestly don't see how you can make a case against prplhz for his vote on Glasse, without looking at Erandorr just as badly for WBG.

You can't make a case against prplhz for volume of posts, when we've got worse lurkers who are pretending to be active.

You can't make a case against prplhz for content of posts without at least considering content of people like Erandorr.

I can't get a good read on WBG either way, but neither of them seems like a better case than Erandorr.

I already explained I don't think there's any good reason for a vote like that. I notice you ignore that part and just pass it off as a joke.

You say you know your alignment like that should be solid proof for anyone, and you were talking a LOT of shit in page 2 of your filter, not just that random quote. The majority of page 2, in fact, was shit talking or contentless fluff.

Hier's case may not be some perfect thing, but just calling it a troll when it was at least no worse than your case against WBG, which you seemed to expect to be taken seriously, yeah, I think that's off.

And you were talking huge shit right at the start of the log. Not just him. You were both at fault for the arguments, so trying to act like you were trying desperately to get along, and that meany poopoo head just kept calling you names and stealing your dolly... yeah, it won't fly with me.

As for Erandorr masoning WBG after VE got outed? As scum or town, it wouldn't make much sense. However, having a "reason" to target WBG for outing him (which he should have expected) makes sense, with a hypothetical town WBG/scum Eran situation.

"Confirming" the outing of VE, on the other hand, has no benefit whatsoever for town, since if you're considering some strange scenario where WBG and VE fake that claim to try and get town credit, it wouldn't be hard to follow that up by telling the truth about getting masoned...

I’m not completely confident on your alignment, none of this is conclusive for me, but come on; you need to sell your town play better.


Mounting flimsy defenses of townie lynch targets for terrible reasons is something scum does a lot, they can point towards it later and be like "see I was on the right side of that".

It's not just that you tried to defend him, it's that your reasons for doing so were terrible.

My reason for not voting for prplhz was that there was little to no case against him. Far from terrible.


But hey, somehow it turns into a scumread on anyone who was on Erandorr. Even me, when I was interested in him at the beginning of D1. I guess I've got an awesome crystal ball, right?

Pretty please can you get out of the erandorr tunnel for just a little bit! You talk about no one else and it's starting to concern me. It sounds here like you're setting yourself up for a vote on me later... so what's your take on me? What about toad, who also thinks erandorr is town and actually led the mislynch? Why aren't you mentioning him?


You were the one under discussion at the time.

Frankly, this is starting to need some tinfoil headgear, what you're suggesting. Bear in mind, I've been interested in Erandorr since the beginning. I've said my fill about the people who were trying to bully me into voting for someone lower on my scumread totem pole, I just added that so it didn't get forgotten when it was brought up.

But right now, you're turning anyone who thinks you're suspicious into some giant grand conspiracy of scum, out to get you personally, come hell or high water. If we were scum, putting all our eggs in one basket that way this early would be about as stupid as it gets.

Anyways, you're the one who's wanted me to drop Erandorr so many times. So what, exactly, is wrong with mentioning something to do with you?

Also, I'm still not convinced Eran isn't scum, seeing as the primary defense anyone offered was "Vote for someone you think is less scummy", and that guy turned out to be town. That being the case, the only way I'd be setting you up for a vote later (assuming I got my way) would be if Erandorr flipped red. Otherwise, that potential association would go away.

And, again, people flipped apeshit any time I tried to say anything about the mighty leaders of the prp lynch, so if I bring them all up at once, I'm just going to sound like you, with some inane conspiracy theory.

Well, I don't know how many total masons there are, but we may well have some in reserve, and trying to WIFOM the host seems silly anyways. That said, at least part of the case against VE seems to rely on meta, which is mostly vague references.

I've seen a few things that make me question his motive for individual statements (don't remember off the top of my head) but overall his play has seemed consistent without being calculated. A lot of it seems to be semantics rather than motivation, and (given some mistakes I've made reading people that way before) I'd prefer to avoid making it all about that.

Overall, I really prefer the stuff that started crawling around under the rock I already looked under. Since we don't have any living confirmed townies, I'd prefer to avoid trying to prove innocence, and instead try to prove guilt. Establishing innocence is difficult at best, and an easy way to distract the town, so I'd rather keep an eye out for people making statements that require foreknowledge or have no town motive.

Eran, why do you make a ton of points about VE, then vote WBG, and accuse me of being scum for... some reason? Possibly for not jumping on the prp wagon when ordered?

It doesn't compute. Going back through context, I was planning to try and give you some BOTD, but this kind of bears some explanation.

Going after Hassy at this point almost feels like it would be lynching for information. I can't understand the motivation of his play from any perspective, with his utterly nonexistent posting.

Right now, I'd probably be willing to get behind lynches on either VE, Dropula, or (if he doesn't explain his somewhat insane last post in the thread) Eran.

I've got to say, right now VE is pretty much the number one scumread.

Most damning of all, the whole rolefishing thing on Talis. It was really bizarre timing to ask, but if the host actually made roles and names line up (which doesn't seem to be the case), that would just be kind of dumb, making it the core of a case doesn't fly.

And then certain things don't line up.

You'e never played a game with VE have you. Establishing his innocence is something he mentions every game. I dont think anyone agrees that Talis' rolefishing had any place in this town, so why not call it out? This reasoning is too shabby for you to be making votes.


You know what? I'm about fucking sick of this stupid shit. If I had the gall to mention in the thread that I've just finished my newbie games, I bet you people would rip me to shreds over trying to use it as a crutch, but any time someone doesn't like something I say or do, they bring it up.

Fuck off. If you want to defend the guy who's been kinda crazy for a while now, that's your call, but don't tell me where to vote.

If someone claims scum every single game, even when they're not, does that mean they're never scum? No. It just means they have useful meta for when they play as scum. Anyways, I have my reasons for my vote. I could reiterate what a dozen other people have said, or I could just reference some of the bigger stuff. Seems easier.

Ignoring that, you're talking about lynching someone just to see how they flip to try and establish a correlation that only has meaning under intense WIFOM.
Lolwat. Who are you talking to bro?



Read half a page and figure it out, "bro". Don't go trying to start shit with me because you're still pissed you couldn't get me modkilled for lynching scum when you wanted to ignore the confirmed DT's investigation as townie.

Are you always like this? o.O


I think I've demonstrated quite effectively that I'm only like "this" when people are being stupid.

There's you asking for me to be modkilled when I wouldn't change my vote off the guy the confirmed DT had as red.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=349066&currentpage=54#1062

There's him flipping.

So, who's unreasonable? You're just trying to start shit for no good reason.

I'm the hidden mason.

D1, BioSC, who graciously, and for whatever reason, didn't reveal me at any point.

Original Message From BioSC:
WBG I don't want lynched today. His handling of the mason thing was sketchy, but I really think there are better targets. If he IS scum, this wagon reminds me of Vivax's case on you in newbie 18. Right for the wrong reasons. However, I don't think he's the scummiest.

I'm looking at Talis right now. Something about his filter seems off to me... Thinking about taking an hour break to go to the gym to clear my head xD

Original Message From JingleHell:
Damn it. I'm not sure I like this WBG wagon. Since I'm town, I'd be really surprised if both of the masons on WBG are town too, and I doubt they're both scum, since scum would coordinate. I mean, maybe there's 3 per faction, but Erandorr looks like he was looking for a way to start a wagon on bugs.

Maybe it's just an aggressive town play, but it seems off to me.

Any thoughts?

Original Message From BioSC:
Thoughts on Talismania?

Original Message From JingleHell:
I just don't have a solid read yet. If it was a situation of "need a deciding vote" based on current info, I'd probably look at glasse, toad, sloosh or WBG, but there's just nothing to pin anyone down on yet.

Especially with so many suspects. I doubt all of them are scum, and there's probably some scum in lurkers. Hopefully more people will post over the next few hours.

Original Message From BioSC:
If you had to pick someone to target right now, who would it be? I'd be up for backing you up on this should you want to.

Original Message From JingleHell:
Yeah, I don't even have any clear way to target someone to promote discussion. Any time I try, people just start making fun of the noob and ignoring me, and that's kind of the style I've developed, just railroad people to force discussion, and watch the motive.

Original Message From BioSC:
Glasse is a null read to me, half his posts are ok, the other half is dodging stuff.

Scummy or not, Zeph has a point, there isn't much to go on in the thread right now, and we need some discussion on a topic. The mason thing would have been good, but WBG shut that down really well, so as of right now, thats all I have to go on.

Original Message From JingleHell:
That's the ones I've noticed. I'm hoping we can keep some of the masons as a secret weapon, since scum might slip in a private conversation with one of us, but WBG seems to be against that plan.

Original Message From BioSC:
Trying to get in my head the mason list so far,

You, VE and Errandor? Am I missing someone?

Original Message From JingleHell:
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out people's motives from what they're saying, but the way they post is so low-content mostly that it's hard to do.

It feels like almost everyone is more interested in sounding pro-town than being productive right now. I'd almost be willing to give Zeph a pass on that alone, because he's not trying to push his townieness like others are.

Hard to be sure though.

I'm not much liking Toad, either, same sort of reason, but people are giving it a pass like it's totally cool for Toad to do it, which just feels like scum covering for each other a bit.

IDK. It's such a different environment from the damn newbie games.

[8/6/2012 4:49:57 PM] Jingle: hey howsit.
[8/6/2012 4:50:01 PM] talismania: hihi
[8/6/2012 4:50:07 PM] talismania: hawaii?
[8/6/2012 4:50:14 PM] Jingle: huh?
[8/6/2012 4:50:20 PM] talismania: oh nm they say howzit there
[8/6/2012 4:50:54 PM] Jingle: nah, I'm in Texas.
[8/6/2012 4:51:27 PM] Jingle: Yeah, I wasn't even expecting to make it this far without getting outed in the current climate, so if you feel the need, I'll understand.
[8/6/2012 4:52:47 PM] talismania: indeed I don't see what difference it will make
[8/6/2012 4:52:54 PM] talismania: as far as NKs go you should be lower priority than toad, for instance
[8/6/2012 4:53:12 PM] talismania: you said you thought it was weird that biosc didn't out you?
[8/6/2012 4:53:22 PM] Jingle: Yeah, given how things went yesterday overall
[8/6/2012 4:53:36 PM] Jingle: I asked him not to, but with the way the day went...
[8/6/2012 4:53:54 PM] Jingle: not outing me ends up looking bad for me
[8/6/2012 4:54:08 PM] talismania: I dunno about that
[8/6/2012 4:54:12 PM] talismania: how do you figure?
[8/6/2012 4:54:44 PM] Jingle: well, all the discussion about "scum won't use their masons if they haven't yet"
[8/6/2012 4:54:54 PM] Jingle: people are already trying to WIFOM masons hard
[8/6/2012 4:55:16 PM] Jingle: and somehow I'm the stealth mason after all the discussion on the subject yesterday
[8/6/2012 4:55:32 PM] talismania: meh I don't think it makes you look bad
[8/6/2012 4:55:48 PM] Jingle: But then, I'm not overly concerned about town scrutiny, since I tend to be able to explain my thought process.
[8/6/2012 4:56:38 PM] Jingle: that's why I decided to mason you. You don't just insta-drop reads at first pressure, but you look at more than one option
[8/6/2012 4:56:47 PM] Jingle: I've got a town read on you right now.
[8/6/2012 4:57:02 PM] talismania: likewise
[8/6/2012 4:57:08 PM] talismania: I'm like 70% town on you
[8/6/2012 4:57:08 PM] Jingle: and wanted to see how you feel about stuff without giant crosstalk and interference
[8/6/2012 4:57:34 PM] talismania: ok well shoot away
[8/6/2012 4:58:07 PM] Jingle: well first, do you actually think I'm crazy on Eran, or do you just think there's bigger fish to fry?
[8/6/2012 4:58:32 PM] Jingle: I really don't like what I'd already seen, but he's starting to drop off the map since the lynch
[8/6/2012 4:58:49 PM] talismania: well to be perfectly honest I wrote him off as town fairly early and haven't really seriously revisited it
[8/6/2012 4:58:59 PM] talismania: however now might be a good time to do so
[8/6/2012 4:59:13 PM] talismania: the reason I thought he was town was that he masoned bugs I think for the reason he said
[8/6/2012 4:59:27 PM] talismania: like, him masoning bugs in that spot, as most people pointed out isn't a great play for scum or town really
[8/6/2012 5:01:00 PM] Jingle: yeah. idk. it seemed strange to me. I've been trying to avoid it coming up in thread, because it sounds like a copout, and don't want to use it as an excuse, but it's hard to catch a handle on some of the players. Posts in the newbie games were usually more comprehensive, with less familiarity between people, so some things that seem scummy to me might just be damn innocent.
[8/6/2012 5:01:39 PM] Jingle: I masoned Bio yesterday because we'd already played once together, so it seemed like a good place to start.
[8/6/2012 5:02:05 PM] talismania: ah gotcha
[8/6/2012 5:02:20 PM] talismania: ok so the other thing that made me think eran was town was his eagerness to skype with bugs
[8/6/2012 5:02:26 PM] talismania: that bugs mentioned a few times
[8/6/2012 5:02:40 PM] Jingle: skype is a townie type thing?
[8/6/2012 5:02:41 PM] talismania: I don't understand that as scum
[8/6/2012 5:02:47 PM] talismania: well not necessarily I suppose
[8/6/2012 5:02:48 PM] Jingle: why, because it's faster paced?
[8/6/2012 5:02:52 PM] Jingle: harder to fake?
[8/6/2012 5:02:58 PM] talismania: it's faster paced, you don't have as much time to think on your feet if you're scum etc
[8/6/2012 5:03:17 PM] talismania: but he seemed genuinely eager to press wbg
[8/6/2012 5:03:28 PM] talismania: was he just doing that because he knew he could rile him up?
[8/6/2012 5:03:31 PM] Jingle: idk, the log seemed pretty shitty on both parts to me.
[8/6/2012 5:03:40 PM] Jingle: like, the very start of the log, he was opening with hostility
[8/6/2012 5:03:42 PM] talismania: I can't say for sure because wbg came into that chat so pissed in the beginning
[8/6/2012 5:03:50 PM] Jingle: they both did though
[8/6/2012 5:03:51 PM] talismania: ok let me open that log
[8/6/2012 5:04:11 PM] Jingle: like, right from the start, eran was talking shit about wbg's play being terrible
[8/6/2012 5:04:28 PM] Jingle: that was one of the things I went after him on, that nobody seemed to think was worth looking at
[8/6/2012 5:04:44 PM] Jingle: and, of course, I wasnt posting big rainbow colored reminders to vote for him
[8/6/2012 5:04:49 PM] talismania: heh
[8/6/2012 5:04:53 PM] Jingle: that said, Hier made me nervous.
[8/6/2012 5:05:11 PM] Jingle: even if I have a good case on someone, I don't like to see a ninja vote on them with nothing in the thread
[8/6/2012 5:05:26 PM] talismania: I thoguht hier made a case on erandorr
[8/6/2012 5:05:38 PM] Jingle: go look in the thread at the time he voted
[8/6/2012 5:05:39 PM] talismania: it was really sarcastic and I thoguht he was breadcrumbing his character because of that
[8/6/2012 5:05:42 PM] Jingle: his vote was out of nowhere.
[8/6/2012 5:05:55 PM] Jingle: timing wise
[8/6/2012 5:06:16 PM] Jingle: like, i'd expect at least a "oh yeah since I forgot earlier" post or something
[8/6/2012 5:06:22 PM] Jingle: brb smoke
[8/6/2012 5:10:17 PM] Jingle: back
[8/6/2012 5:10:26 PM] talismania: cool I'm reading through eran's filter
[8/6/2012 5:11:36 PM] Jingle: but yeah, it's been tricky for me over the weekend and today, since i've been busy. my usual style is to aggressively bulldog on people, and watch the ensuing discussion for people to say things that don't seem to have a townie motive
[8/6/2012 5:12:23 PM] Jingle: usually goes decent for me, but between people just wanting to ignore my cases, and doing other stuff, it hasn't worked so hot. hopefully it will pick up
[8/6/2012 5:14:22 PM] Jingle: but yeah, the logs from eran/wbg seem less conclusive to me, because when wbg popped in talking down to eran, he didn't even try to get things on track, he just swung back.
[8/6/2012 5:14:55 PM] talismania: ok so erandorr masons wbg sometime after this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=15#285
[8/6/2012 5:15:57 PM] talismania: and then later after wbg outs him he makes this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=16#314
[8/6/2012 5:16:17 PM] talismania: which only focuses on wbg outing ve and not himself which is kind of funny
[8/6/2012 5:17:20 PM] Jingle: yeah that does seem weird. although, to try and be objective, if he expected to be outed, focusing on it happening to him would be strange.
[8/6/2012 5:17:43 PM] talismania: objectively he should have mentioned it as either alignment IMO
[8/6/2012 5:17:47 PM] Jingle: but then, that flies against the claimed motive of "confirming" that VE masoned wbg, which is WIFOM without a log anyway
[8/6/2012 5:18:00 PM] talismania: if it was his scum plan to get wbg lynched, and he knew wbg would out him then he should hav eused it
[8/6/2012 5:18:04 PM] Jingle: which there were no logs from anyone at that point
[8/6/2012 5:18:17 PM] talismania: if it was his town plan to see if wbg outed him too he should have mentioned it too
[8/6/2012 5:18:23 PM] talismania: sot hat's a wash
[8/6/2012 5:18:53 PM] Jingle: he really just doesn't make any sense to me.
[8/6/2012 5:19:09 PM] Jingle: And where I can't find townie motive, and can see possible scum motive, I tend to think scum
[8/6/2012 5:19:37 PM] Jingle: obviously, strange play is always possible too, but it just doesn't make sense.
[8/6/2012 5:20:22 PM] Jingle: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=15727835
[8/6/2012 5:20:32 PM] Jingle: he was definitely trying to push votes towards wbg at one point
[8/6/2012 5:20:46 PM] talismania: at one point? I recall him doing it at every point
[8/6/2012 5:20:53 PM] Jingle: yeah, I know
[8/6/2012 5:21:02 PM] Jingle: until prp came up
[8/6/2012 5:21:04 PM] Jingle: the side wagon
[8/6/2012 5:21:19 PM] Jingle: that took on a life of it's own and turned into the lynch instead
[8/6/2012 5:21:34 PM] Jingle: shortly after the lynch, he drops off the face of the planet for all intents and purposes
[8/6/2012 5:22:05 PM] talismania: yes he has been inactive or at least I can't remember what he's done for a while
[8/6/2012 5:22:08 PM] Jingle: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=15733650
[8/6/2012 5:22:16 PM] talismania: oh I think he perked up when bugs came back
[8/6/2012 5:22:16 PM] Jingle: there's his "defense" against my case
[8/6/2012 5:22:45 PM] Jingle: which is basically a train wreck of "these aren't the droids you're looking for" and blatant misrepresentation.
[8/6/2012 5:23:05 PM] Jingle: like his response to me pointing out that he was talking shit back to wbg in the logs right at the start
[8/6/2012 5:23:15 PM] Jingle: "Did you notice that he insulted me about 100 times before that? And the one time I get so upset as to say what I do in the quote I INSTANTLY APOLOGIZE?"
[8/6/2012 5:24:09 PM] Jingle: and after ignoring or lying as a response to my case, he calls it a malicious case, and then tells me to look at other people.
[8/6/2012 5:24:34 PM] Jingle: if he actually thought it was malicious, there should be a case, not just a continued tunnel on wbg and prp
[8/6/2012 5:24:44 PM] Jingle: but he accuses me of a malicious case and vanishes
[8/6/2012 5:25:07 PM] talismania: hmm
[8/6/2012 5:25:07 PM] Jingle: the shitty part is so many people think i just have a hardon for him that it probably wouldn't work to just point this out in the thread either
[8/6/2012 5:25:21 PM] talismania: well you're tunneled on him and he was tunneled on wbg at that point
[8/6/2012 5:25:35 PM] talismania: I'm not surprised he didn't turn around and make a case on you
[8/6/2012 5:25:52 PM] talismania: ok I'm gonna go through his response
[8/6/2012 5:26:03 PM] talismania: first thing I agree with him on - it was a joke
[8/6/2012 5:26:21 PM] talismania: second thing let's see
[8/6/2012 5:26:34 PM] Jingle: i didn't know it was a joke. goes back to that familiarity thing
[8/6/2012 5:26:53 PM] talismania: yeah a couple of people have made mistakes like that this game
[8/6/2012 5:27:18 PM] Jingle: i did actually apologize and drop that particular facet on the record, iirc
[8/6/2012 5:27:36 PM] talismania: uh ok so second point is that he's prickly about his opinions essentially
[8/6/2012 5:28:03 PM] Jingle: ok maybe i didn't. not sure.
[8/6/2012 5:28:09 PM] talismania: hmm yeah the problem is his personality
[8/6/2012 5:28:12 PM] Jingle: damn its bad when i have to check my own filter
[8/6/2012 5:28:31 PM] talismania: I ge tthe sense that he is infact rather agressive and whatnot
[8/6/2012 5:28:41 PM] talismania: he went after me pretty agressively early on for instance
[8/6/2012 5:29:34 PM] Jingle: yeah i didn't officially drop that in the thread. but i didn't follow up on it either. hard to know what's an inside joke and what's not
[8/6/2012 5:30:03 PM] Jingle: but yeah, aggressive play is good and all, I'm all for it, but he really didn't address the bigger points
[8/6/2012 5:30:38 PM] Jingle: although, as you said, one of them doesn't make sense from any perspective, and the other is kind of down to personality
[8/6/2012 5:30:56 PM] Jingle: idk, maybe he's not scum, but i don't have a better target right now
[8/6/2012 5:31:01 PM] talismania: yeah so point two is essentially that he attacks people who disagree with him
[8/6/2012 5:31:09 PM] talismania: which is what I mean by he's agresssive
[8/6/2012 5:31:28 PM] talismania: and then the problem is to decide if he's hamming it up on purpose to drive a mislynch
[8/6/2012 5:31:30 PM] talismania: or if that's just how he is
[8/6/2012 5:31:45 PM] talismania: and it's not really that alignment-indicative
[8/6/2012 5:32:44 PM] Jingle: there's so much gray area in this game, that short posts, and dismissive posts can be kind of difficult to deal with
[8/6/2012 5:33:18 PM] talismania: I like erandorr's shorter posts in his filter for the most part
[8/6/2012 5:33:19 PM] Jingle: i mean, i've done it too, where something seems absurd and i ignored it, but if there's several people all saying it, continuing to ignore it doesn't seem pro-town anymore
[8/6/2012 5:33:26 PM] talismania: he asks questions, and then more importantly follows up on them
[8/6/2012 5:33:46 PM] talismania: scum do the first easily but are often too lazy to do the second, because they don't really care about the answer
[8/6/2012 5:33:54 PM] talismania: of course good scum do both
[8/6/2012 5:34:10 PM] talismania: ok so point three in your case is about hier and erandorr's respoens to that
[8/6/2012 5:34:33 PM] talismania: my gut reaction to that is that eran's response was townie but I guess in sum it's just null
[8/6/2012 5:34:57 PM] talismania: like if I'm scum I don't blow off a case, no matter how ridiculous it sounds with a one-liner
[8/6/2012 5:35:08 PM] talismania: but I'm also not that agressive
[8/6/2012 5:36:24 PM] Jingle: i actually had a coach, back in one of my newbie games, tell me to blow off weak cases more often. apparently they thought it was a scumslip to over-defend
[8/6/2012 5:36:38 PM] Jingle: which makes sense, but then you're diving into wifom
[8/6/2012 5:36:45 PM] Jingle: and i hate wifom when i can look for motives
[8/6/2012 5:36:47 PM] talismania: no I agree
[8/6/2012 5:36:59 PM] talismania: I mean I think zephirdd made a case on me this game that I prettuy much just ignored
[8/6/2012 5:37:13 PM] talismania: it's just the use of the one-liner that seems genuine
[8/6/2012 5:37:30 PM] talismania: like I honestly think erandorr read hier's thing and went "wtf"
[8/6/2012 5:37:47 PM] Jingle: well, i guess i can at least shift him to null read and just keep an eye on him for now
[8/6/2012 5:38:03 PM] Jingle: since that all makes some sort of sense, with context
[8/6/2012 5:38:18 PM] talismania: now for sure you're right that he doesn't make a much of an attempt to calm wbg down
[8/6/2012 5:38:29 PM] Jingle: that on its own i can't call scummy
[8/6/2012 5:38:35 PM] talismania: they're pretty much both just salpping each other with fish that whole time
[8/6/2012 5:38:45 PM] Jingle: just useless
[8/6/2012 5:38:53 PM] Jingle: but at least we werent subjected to it in thread
[8/6/2012 5:39:09 PM] talismania: if we were I'd say they might have both been scum
[8/6/2012 5:39:48 PM] Jingle: i can still sort of see a potential case on wbg out of that mess, but it's hard to say. frankly, i think he's been overtunneled
[8/6/2012 5:40:13 PM] talismania: wbg makes me nervous
[8/6/2012 5:40:20 PM] talismania: I've been more or less thinking he's town
[8/6/2012 5:40:35 PM] talismania: but his play since coming back from rage mountain has been subpar
[8/6/2012 5:40:36 PM] Jingle: the main thing with outing that i don't like is that it's too obvious of a defense
[8/6/2012 5:40:56 PM] Jingle: "but why would I out them in the thread if i could have done it in the QT if I was scum"
[8/6/2012 5:41:02 PM] Jingle: that scares the hell out of me
[8/6/2012 5:41:19 PM] Jingle: out of the whole thing, that was the only thing to me that made me think it might be worth a case
[8/6/2012 5:41:40 PM] talismania: yeah on balance the speed with which wbg outed them tells me he wasn't planning much devious with it
[8/6/2012 5:41:59 PM] talismania: he genuinely believes that masons aren't that much more valuable in secret, which I agree with
[8/6/2012 5:42:09 PM] Jingle: would he have been an obvious mason target?
[8/6/2012 5:42:12 PM] talismania: wbg?
[8/6/2012 5:42:14 PM] talismania: yues
[8/6/2012 5:42:18 PM] Jingle: it could have been something he planned to do early then
[8/6/2012 5:42:23 PM] Jingle: making the speed work
[8/6/2012 5:42:45 PM] talismania: well the reason I think for outing masons in the thread as scum
[8/6/2012 5:42:49 PM] talismania: instaed of just in the qt
[8/6/2012 5:43:07 PM] talismania: is to avoid risking looking bad if scum wants to nk the masons
[8/6/2012 5:43:29 PM] talismania: like if VE claimed mason like toad did, for instance, and then got killed
[8/6/2012 5:43:38 PM] Jingle: yeah but they can't nk masons now
[8/6/2012 5:43:51 PM] Jingle: unless we have an insane number of masons total
[8/6/2012 5:44:07 PM] talismania: I really hope there isn't another hidden one
[8/6/2012 5:44:08 PM] Jingle: then scum have masons outed too now
[8/6/2012 5:44:20 PM] Jingle: so every dead mason narrows down some scum
[8/6/2012 5:44:42 PM] talismania: well I think if I were balancing the game I would have the same ratio of masons as there are players
[8/6/2012 5:44:51 PM] talismania: but I don't know if bc did that
[8/6/2012 5:44:56 PM] talismania: right now it's 6 total known
[8/6/2012 5:45:06 PM] talismania: so 4-2? 5-1?
[8/6/2012 5:45:23 PM] Jingle: yeah idk
[8/6/2012 5:45:37 PM] Jingle: but theres enough out that i expect the scum have masons visible
[8/6/2012 5:45:46 PM] Jingle: so they cant nk into masons safely
[8/6/2012 5:45:58 PM] talismania: I mean I'm still fairly sure about VE
[8/6/2012 5:45:58 PM] Jingle: after the first couple got outed, the rest getting outed was VERY pro-town
[8/6/2012 5:46:04 PM] talismania: and I have a strong feeling hassbaby is scum too
[8/6/2012 5:46:08 PM] Jingle: who was it who dropped names after wbg? i forget
[8/6/2012 5:46:12 PM] talismania: toad
[8/6/2012 5:46:35 PM] Jingle: well, out of the two who outed, one of them is probably scum
[8/6/2012 5:47:14 PM] talismania: hmm just thoguht of something
[8/6/2012 5:47:14 PM] Jingle: either to protect attempts to nk into masons, or to protect scum masons so they could keep using it
[8/6/2012 5:47:21 PM] talismania: I suppose it could be dangerous to out too many masons if there's lots
[8/6/2012 5:47:26 PM] talismania: since it helps scum bluesnipe
[8/6/2012 5:47:53 PM] talismania: well
[8/6/2012 5:47:57 PM] talismania: actually I doubt that's an issue
[8/6/2012 5:48:08 PM] talismania: there'd have to be like four more out there before that was troublesome
[8/6/2012 5:48:31 PM] Jingle: well that'd make an entertaining game, if there were that many masons
[8/6/2012 5:48:45 PM] Jingle: for some value of "entertaining"
[8/6/2012 5:48:50 PM] talismania: yeah I was thinking of a setup earlier today
[8/6/2012 5:49:02 PM] talismania: everyone is mason and gets to pick one person they can chat to per cycle
[8/6/2012 5:49:15 PM] talismania: catch is that you are required to post your logs at the end of the cycle
[8/6/2012 5:49:28 PM] Jingle: ow
[8/6/2012 5:49:34 PM] Jingle: that sounds painfully difficult
[8/6/2012 5:49:40 PM] Jingle: inane volume of information
[8/6/2012 5:49:46 PM] Jingle: don't think most people would have the patience
[8/6/2012 5:50:44 PM] talismania: lol hier made a diagram
[8/6/2012 5:50:50 PM] Jingle: yeah just saw that
[8/6/2012 5:50:53 PM] talismania: hahahaha
[8/6/2012 5:51:08 PM] talismania: sorry I think it's funny he couldn't keep track of things
[8/6/2012 5:51:19 PM] talismania: it ain't that complicated
[8/6/2012 5:51:41 PM] Jingle: i can't completely either
[8/6/2012 5:51:47 PM] Jingle: but i'm not drawing a flowchart
[8/6/2012 5:52:30 PM] talismania: ok but back on the subject of which mason is scum
[8/6/2012 5:52:32 PM] talismania: VE
[8/6/2012 5:52:42 PM] talismania: what do you make of the meat of my case against him
[8/6/2012 5:52:56 PM] Jingle: sum it up, or give me a sec to re-read
[8/6/2012 5:53:11 PM] talismania: he doesn't read my filter like a townie should before making a case
[8/6/2012 5:53:29 PM] talismania: he ends up making accusations that aren't actually true by mistakenly paraphrasing other players
[8/6/2012 5:53:53 PM] talismania: yet at the same time he shows he's paying enough attention to the game to remember even the most ohbscure posts I made early on
[8/6/2012 5:54:15 PM] talismania: his reaction to my case is interesting too
[8/6/2012 5:54:30 PM] talismania: he's essentially had to back down completely and admit I was right
[8/6/2012 5:54:44 PM] talismania: without admitting that he's scum of course
[8/6/2012 5:56:05 PM] Jingle: well, I can't comment on all of it, but I got to admit, it's pretty damning. I especially agree about the shadiness of wanting to establish innocence. I'm generally of the opinion that it establishes itself unless you're playing clumsily
[8/6/2012 5:56:12 PM] Jingle: of course, i don't know what kind of player he is
[8/6/2012 5:57:03 PM] Jingle: looking up his response right now
[8/6/2012 5:57:06 PM] talismania: search bureaucracy mafia (still on front page I think) and have a skim through his filter
[8/6/2012 5:57:07 PM] Jingle: trying to keep context
[8/6/2012 5:57:15 PM] talismania: if you want to see his normal town meta
[8/6/2012 5:57:24 PM] talismania: he's normally a lot more spammy
[8/6/2012 5:59:21 PM] Jingle: i do think the rolefishing accusation... well, it kind of makes sense, but we can only hope bc is smart enough to have randomized roles to names, not just inverted or something.
[8/6/2012 5:59:33 PM] Jingle: at the least, you should have saved that for later
[8/6/2012 5:59:41 PM] Jingle: but i don't think it makes a solid core of a case
[8/6/2012 5:59:41 PM] talismania: heh yeah couldn't help myself
[8/6/2012 5:59:52 PM] talismania: since don draper was vt
[8/6/2012 6:00:06 PM] talismania: I think it's safe to say char names truely don't mean anything
[8/6/2012 6:00:50 PM] Jingle: yeah ive watched a few episodes on netflix but got sidetracked by season 3 of warehouse 13
[8/6/2012 6:01:58 PM] Jingle: and yeah, his final response to your case is... strange.
[8/6/2012 6:02:07 PM] Jingle: i could see a VE lynch maybe.
[8/6/2012 6:02:23 PM] talismania: I'll see what I can get out of him in pms and chat
[8/6/2012 6:02:27 PM] Jingle: or we could see if we can kill grush again.
[8/6/2012 6:02:37 PM] talismania: oh grush
[8/6/2012 6:02:40 PM] Jingle: scum/vigi got to, why can't the rest of us?
[8/6/2012 6:02:45 PM] Jingle: its not fair
[8/6/2012 6:03:07 PM] talismania: I bet his plan was something silly too like not masoning d1 and then masoning d2 and seeing what happens
[8/6/2012 6:04:21 PM] Jingle: either that or his starsenses got jammed
[8/6/2012 6:05:03 PM] Jingle: I was just having a look over Bio's filter again
[8/6/2012 6:05:07 PM] Jingle: idk what's up with him
[8/6/2012 6:05:45 PM] talismania: he comes on and off my radar
[8/6/2012 6:05:51 PM] talismania: you palyed with him before you said
[8/6/2012 6:05:53 PM] Jingle: yeah
[8/6/2012 6:05:54 PM] talismania: I think I played with him once too
[8/6/2012 6:05:57 PM] Jingle: hes not spammy
[8/6/2012 6:06:01 PM] talismania: no he's not
[8/6/2012 6:06:11 PM] Jingle: but he's under a page of filter
[8/6/2012 6:06:16 PM] Jingle: with a fair amount as pre-game spam
[8/6/2012 6:06:58 PM] Jingle: last thing he said was to call grush scum for being grush, and then dismiss a case against him
[8/6/2012 6:07:21 PM] talismania: ok opened his filter
[8/6/2012 6:07:48 PM] talismania: this sounds dumb and I really shouldn't rely on it but I thoguht he was town when he asked the host for a filter list in the op
[8/6/2012 6:08:06 PM] Jingle: lol why? when he's scum he's pretty cautious
[8/6/2012 6:08:34 PM] Jingle: end of newbie XVIII he was well off radar. he makes careful scum cases.
[8/6/2012 6:09:01 PM] Jingle: granted, i was scum too that game, but yeah, i watched him play scum, and he's careful and quiet
[8/6/2012 6:09:12 PM] Jingle: but then, haven't seen him as confirmed town, so not sure on that
[8/6/2012 6:09:25 PM] Jingle: although I do have to wonder...
[8/6/2012 6:09:57 PM] Jingle: somewhere in his filter...
[8/6/2012 6:10:00 PM] Jingle: dammit can't find it
[8/6/2012 6:10:00 PM] talismania: scummiest part of his filter is his switch to prp
[8/6/2012 6:10:14 PM] Jingle: that's because it's his single long, thought out post.
[8/6/2012 6:10:24 PM] talismania: ewll he has some others of comparable length
[8/6/2012 6:10:38 PM] Jingle: but they're fluff longer posts
[8/6/2012 6:10:38 PM] talismania: I mean I think he was just going along with the twagon
[8/6/2012 6:10:46 PM] talismania: but he sort of overjustified that
[8/6/2012 6:11:14 PM] talismania: it would have made more sense for him to say "I don't wbg lynched, I'm voting prp" given his history
[8/6/2012 6:11:26 PM] Jingle: here we go.
[8/6/2012 6:11:34 PM] Jingle: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=15730145
[8/6/2012 6:11:42 PM] Jingle: "My stance on him is about him being less scummy than Grush. I don't really care about meta, never have, probably never will. What I care about is THIS game. "
[8/6/2012 6:12:01 PM] Jingle: i'm all for voting for your stronger scumread
[8/6/2012 6:12:17 PM] Jingle: but having a strong scumread on a troll for trolling sounds ludicrous
[8/6/2012 6:12:53 PM] Jingle: even me, not considering prp a top lynch priority, i would have taken prp over grush as a lynch based on available info at the time
[8/6/2012 6:13:26 PM] talismania: well you have a point there
[8/6/2012 6:13:34 PM] talismania: it's hard to really ever call grush scum
[8/6/2012 6:13:42 PM] talismania: it's easy to call him bad
[8/6/2012 6:13:50 PM] Jingle: i knew him by reputation before i ever saw him in a game
[8/6/2012 6:13:59 PM] Jingle: i knew what to expect before it started
[8/6/2012 6:14:07 PM] talismania: so would you say that this is matching biosc's careful cases as scum?
[8/6/2012 6:14:21 PM] talismania: they dont seem that careful to me
[8/6/2012 6:14:28 PM] Jingle: not really, but i'd say that he's at least not going to miss your filter
[8/6/2012 6:14:54 PM] Jingle: actually, if anything, i'd consider him blue over scum
[8/6/2012 6:15:00 PM] Jingle: but he could still be scum
[8/6/2012 6:15:04 PM] Jingle: i don't know
[8/6/2012 6:15:07 PM] Jingle: it's a hard read
[8/6/2012 6:15:27 PM] Jingle: bio may have just seemed careful that time because i was controlling the thread at that point
[8/6/2012 6:15:31 PM] Jingle: i'm not sure
[8/6/2012 6:15:39 PM] talismania: maybe he shot grush
[8/6/2012 6:15:43 PM] Jingle: plausible
[8/6/2012 6:15:51 PM] talismania: he's my number one vig suspect
[8/6/2012 6:16:00 PM] Jingle: and his inactivity would match the lack of a vigi claim on it
[8/6/2012 6:16:47 PM] Jingle: what about snb?
[8/6/2012 6:17:05 PM] talismania: I think he's town for the most part
[8/6/2012 6:17:14 PM] talismania: there was a period of a few hours where I was thinking he might be scum
[8/6/2012 6:17:23 PM] talismania: but mainly I think he's town
[8/6/2012 6:17:44 PM] talismania: the effort he put in with regards to wbg made me think that
[8/6/2012 6:17:55 PM] talismania: like where he was digging up out of game quotes
[8/6/2012 6:18:03 PM] talismania: hte fact that he reread the thread
[8/6/2012 6:18:24 PM] talismania: he's been generally open-minded too
[8/6/2012 6:18:27 PM] talismania: he asks good questions
[8/6/2012 6:18:29 PM] talismania: dunno
[8/6/2012 6:18:31 PM] Jingle: maybe i just don't like the kill masons idea he posited for some reason
[8/6/2012 6:18:57 PM] Jingle: maybe i'm just crazy, but i think that's a good way to potentially sacrifice a lot of town for minimal scum
[8/6/2012 6:19:09 PM] talismania: I don't think he's saying anything different other than that we should look into the masons
[8/6/2012 6:19:11 PM] Jingle: also, it's a minimal discussion cop-out lynch method
[8/6/2012 6:19:22 PM] Jingle: and discussion kills scum
[8/6/2012 6:19:30 PM] talismania: I don't think he means to policy lynch all masons
[8/6/2012 6:19:35 PM] talismania: that wouldn't work
[8/6/2012 6:19:54 PM] talismania: lylo is at day 4 or something at worst
[8/6/2012 6:20:00 PM] Jingle: plus, realistically, the more dead scum masons we make, the more reliable our surviving masons are.
[8/6/2012 6:20:02 PM] talismania: so not nearly enough time for that radical of a plan
[8/6/2012 6:20:16 PM] Jingle: so if we lynch carefully, the better
[8/6/2012 6:20:28 PM] Jingle: granted, the masons definitely bear watching
[8/6/2012 6:20:35 PM] Jingle: with this many i can't imagine us all being town
[8/6/2012 6:20:45 PM] talismania: yep I'm still locking VE and hassy
[8/6/2012 6:20:51 PM] Jingle: masons should definitely get extra scrutiny
[8/6/2012 6:21:06 PM] Jingle: hassy needs to post more
[8/6/2012 6:21:06 PM] talismania: toad I think is town
[8/6/2012 6:21:22 PM] talismania: the way toad played his role makes a lotof sense from a town pov
[8/6/2012 6:21:35 PM] talismania: he's a clever scum player but that would be really really celver of him to do as scum
[8/6/2012 6:22:23 PM] Jingle: certainly if VE gets lynched and flips red, hassy will bear close watching
[8/6/2012 6:22:31 PM] Jingle: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=15713928
[8/6/2012 6:22:46 PM] Jingle: that's him getting in on the rolefishing attack on you
[8/6/2012 6:23:02 PM] talismania: yeah he got baited by that for sure
[8/6/2012 6:23:16 PM] Jingle: if i was going to base a case on that, i'd hope someone would mercy kill me for it
[8/6/2012 6:23:27 PM] talismania: it must be the kind of thing that's just irresistible in scum qt
[8/6/2012 6:23:42 PM] talismania: "holy shit he's literally asking for people's names" etc
[8/6/2012 6:23:56 PM] Jingle: he jumped on that and then vanished completely after voting on WBG
[8/6/2012 6:24:08 PM] talismania: he's not interested in the game really
[8/6/2012 6:24:09 PM] Jingle: i don't like disappearing people who vanish after a wagon much
[8/6/2012 6:24:21 PM] talismania: that's the biggest scumtell
[8/6/2012 6:24:38 PM] talismania: like if you ever want to know if I'm scum, ask if I'm interested or not in the game
[8/6/2012 6:24:54 PM] talismania: I hate playing scum so I tend to be passive and not post as much
[8/6/2012 6:24:59 PM] talismania: hassy may have the same problem
[8/6/2012 6:25:13 PM] talismania: also he has set himself a little trap
[8/6/2012 6:25:22 PM] talismania: he mentions in his logs with toad that he is keeping game notes
[8/6/2012 6:25:47 PM] talismania: so it will be interesting to see if he can actually produce those
[8/6/2012 6:26:02 PM] talismania: as doing that as scum gets tiresome
[8/6/2012 6:27:23 PM] Jingle: i don't keep notes as either alignment. when i played scum in newbie XVIII i avoided notes to force myself to stay contextual, and i do the same as a townie. making myself re-read filters is much better for avoiding stupid miscalculations that lead to mislynches
[8/6/2012 6:27:39 PM] Jingle: at least for me
[8/6/2012 6:27:56 PM] Jingle: notes would make me lazy, and i don't want to form a bad case and turn it into a mislynch because i get lazy
[8/6/2012 6:27:59 PM] talismania: I tried notes twice but I always gave up after D1
[8/6/2012 6:28:54 PM] Jingle: oh shit, i gtg. need to grab a shower before i head out to wife's birthday dinner
[8/6/2012 6:29:00 PM] talismania: have fun!
[8/6/2012 6:29:01 PM] Jingle: i'll catch you later
[8/6/2012 9:22:41 PM] Jingle: i do not understand erand.
[8/6/2012 9:24:13 PM] Jingle: he sits there making all these points about VE, then votes WBG...
[8/6/2012 9:25:04 PM] Jingle: then he throws an OMGUS on me, unless there's an actual case somewhere in the thread (oh right, I'm scummy because I didn't jump on the prp wagon when ordered)
[8/6/2012 9:57:08 PM] talismania: don't understand why he's quitting the game too or if he actually is
[8/6/2012 9:57:16 PM] talismania: drama queen city this game
[8/6/2012 9:57:24 PM] Jingle: yeah no joke
[8/6/2012 9:59:15 PM] Jingle: god people are failing quote tags
[8/6/2012 9:59:17 PM] Jingle: drives me insane
[8/6/2012 10:00:20 PM] talismania: lol love this countdropula
[8/6/2012 10:00:57 PM] Jingle: he's got class. I just wish there were good cases in the thread.
[8/6/2012 10:01:15 PM] Jingle: This game is going strange though.
[8/6/2012 10:01:38 PM] talismania: it's playing like there's 12 people in it
[8/6/2012 10:02:14 PM] Jingle: yeah. I could try to build cases, but ideally, we'd get lurkers into existence first.
[8/6/2012 10:02:39 PM] talismania: it's just about consolidation time
[8/6/2012 10:02:52 PM] Jingle: consolidate what? cases?
[8/6/2012 10:02:56 PM] talismania: votes
[8/6/2012 10:03:09 PM] talismania: maybe tomorrow morning though
[8/6/2012 10:03:16 PM] talismania: well my time
[8/6/2012 10:03:42 PM] Jingle: yeah, I don't think we've had anything productive yet to consolidate on. Maybe tomorrow, I can come out of the closet, and we can use the logs to work from.
[8/6/2012 10:04:15 PM] talismania: mmm I would think about it from the other way around
[8/6/2012 10:04:24 PM] talismania: like find something in the logs that yo uwan to persue, then go for that
[8/6/2012 10:04:39 PM] talismania: just dumping the logs during the last part of the day phase would be too distracting
[8/6/2012 10:04:44 PM] Jingle: true.
[8/6/2012 10:05:27 PM] Jingle: idk, it's going to be entertaining to try and secure votes with nobody playing
[8/6/2012 10:05:57 PM] Jingle: but that's kinda the only thing we can do
[8/6/2012 10:06:02 PM] Jingle: good thing it's plurality
[9:08:10 AM] Jingle: Ok, so I'm starting to wonder about dropula, just because of his nutjob spam shit hes doing
[11:03:55 AM] Jingle: Well, judging by the current activity level, the voting today is going to be kinda stupid.
[12:33:55 PM] talismania: the newb thing will go away after a few games
[12:34:23 PM] Jingle: it's just the dumbest thing you can do in mafia...
[12:34:31 PM] Jingle: discouraging discussion hurts the game
[12:34:45 PM] Jingle: unless bke is scum...
[12:35:02 PM] Jingle: changing the direction of the thread with an argument would make sense.

[12:37:01 PM] talismania: he was touchy early
[12:38:27 PM] Jingle: well, we've got VE, I think, and unless we're completely wrong about how he's going to flip, then bke trying to stop discussion on VE while VE is trying to scare votes off himself would make sense
[12:38:43 PM] talismania: maybe hier too, maybe synystyr
[12:39:02 PM] talismania: wbg still an outside possibility too but hard to say
[12:39:03 PM] Jingle: plausible. there's so many people with no filter to read

[12:39:13 PM] talismania: who's been really gone
[12:40:31 PM] Jingle: the fun wifom, here, is whether VE is trying to ppush eran as a bus or as a mislynch
[12:40:56 PM] Jingle: if he thinks he's more valuable than eran, since eran basically decided to quit on the game, a bus could be valuable
[12:41:10 PM] Jingle: woot lunch just got here
[12:42:59 PM] talismania: no the eran push doesn't smell like a bus
[12:43:37 PM] Jingle: why not?
[12:43:39 PM] Jingle: just curious
[12:44:03 PM] talismania: because ve was on him before I was on VE
[12:44:14 PM] talismania: so ve couldn't have known he was in danger
[12:44:46 PM] Jingle: true, but he has been a focal point for most of the day
[12:44:51 PM] Jingle: but a valid point
[12:45:33 PM] Jingle: i am nervous that we have scum in the people who straight up aren't playing though.
[12:45:45 PM] talismania: the inactives?
[12:45:47 PM] Jingle: but hard to be sure without lynching into the suspicious players
[12:45:48 PM] talismania: we do for sure
[12:45:55 PM] talismania: I mean there's 5 scum
[12:46:00 PM] talismania: bound to be at least one lurker
[12:46:08 PM] Jingle: yeah makes sense
[12:46:09 PM] talismania: but they always post before they vote
[12:46:17 PM] Jingle: the question is more whether its active or passive lurkers
[12:46:21 PM] talismania: that's how you find them, bnased on what they say in that post
[12:46:28 PM] talismania: usually active lurkers
[12:46:32 PM] talismania: like glasse maybe?
[12:46:37 PM] talismania: although he's been loopy
[12:47:18 PM] Jingle: yeah, possible. idk. I think at this point, I'ma wait and see how VE flips, then go back through filters and the voting.
[12:47:23 PM] Jingle: that's where i do my best work
[12:47:57 PM] Jingle: i really don't think ve is gona flip town, of course, but there's never guarantees.
[12:48:17 PM] talismania: I really hope he doesn't or I don't know why he's been playing like this
[12:48:55 PM] Jingle: yeah. I really don't like snb, but I'm pretty sure i just don't like him.
[12:49:02 PM] Jingle: as opposed to a scum thing.
[12:49:11 PM] talismania: mmm I think he's town but we'll see
[12:49:45 PM] Jingle: if lazermonkey is scummy, I couldn't make a case if I wanted to, it would just start an argument after I had to deal with him in newbie XX.
[12:50:01 PM] talismania: lazer?
[12:50:04 PM] talismania: he seems really town to me
[12:50:25 PM] Jingle: Dude was completely irrational, he asked for a modkill on me when I wouldn't switch my vote off the guy who the confirmed DT checked as red.
[12:50:31 PM] Jingle: and he was town at the time.
[12:50:40 PM] Jingle: called it me playing against wincon
[12:51:01 PM] Jingle: so if he ever ends up looking scummy, i can't even make the case myself.
[1:35:08 PM] talismania: you were talking about toad right?
[1:35:12 PM] Jingle: yeah
[1:35:16 PM] talismania: just say that to lazer no need to get mad
[1:35:19 PM] Jingle: blatantly obvious
[1:35:27 PM] Jingle: dude has a problem with me
[1:35:32 PM] talismania: he probably thought it was me or something
[1:39:34 PM] Jingle: he's a pain in the ass
[1:40:02 PM] Jingle: that whole game was dumb, but yeah.
[6:14:12 PM] Jingle: I hope no crazy shit comes up at the last minute, I got to leave about a half hour before deadline for TKD...
[6:14:30 PM] talismania: there's always something
[6:14:38 PM] talismania: I'm interested to see if the 5 or so votes that are missing show up
[6:14:46 PM] talismania: oh nvm I guess it's like 3
[6:15:12 PM] Jingle: if not, we might get some flips... unfortunately, i really doubt the scum lurkers will miss votes, so they wouldn't be helpful flips


The Talis conversation also shows why I stopped being interested in Eran, since I'm sure my in-thread explanation was a bit light in the pants for most people.

Ok, so I still think VE has a fair shot of flipping scum, but I'd like to propose an alternative to vote.

Dropula. The majority of his posts are when the thread is incredibly busy.

All of his posts are somewhere between insane and recreational hallucinogen use.

He tunnels Zeph, but in a way that makes the case look weak. This is advantageous to a scum regardless of Zeph's alignment if and when he flips.

All of his posts seem intended to provoke arguments rather than thought, reactions rather than analysis.

More in-depth in the spoiler.

I just noticed this gem. Finally that paid off.

Let me explain it to you. It was 5min into the game. I didn't even bother casting those votes on the voting thread. Why? Because they didn't matter, and I'd change them later anyway. It's not that I don't care, it's just that by creating a stupid vote, you take reactions from people. People like you, who is trying to take something as silly as that as an excuse to vote me, when in fact there is nothing there that makes me scum.

I'm not afraid of having opinions change, as no town should be. My opinions did change quickly - and that's pretty damn common for a town player.

You are creating bullshit reasoning to jump into the wagon easily. Nice first post scum.

##unvote (talismania)
##vote CountDropula


Your burst of emotion is suspicious. If your play in the first 5 min paid off, why are you continuing the same behavior in the very response where you out it to the thread? Isn't it over?

You never mentioned my second point in your response.

I'm not the only one who is suspicious of you, but I don't know about a bandwagon. Just give everyone some concrete defense, we will determine that you are green, and this won't take up any more time.


Calls a burst of emotion suspicious, but most of his later posting is intended to evoke emotional responses. That doesn't sound like a trap, that sounds like forcing a case.

Complains about activity. Even though he barely posts, and when he does, it's tunneling Zeph.

Okay, kinda changed my mind and I'm actually starting to like the kill-grush plan. It's impossible to get a read in him anyway if he is going to play like this. Also, a big bonus is that WBG should be somewhat confirmed town if he flips scum.

As for Dropula, his only defense against all of my suspicion was that he was inexperienced and that it was all a mistake. This can be explained in 2 ways.
1. He is inexperienced.
2. He is scum.
If he is town he will most likely be left by scum unless he improves his play by an miraculously amount. If he is scum... Then he is scum.

For all Vigis, I hope you shot these guys tonight, as lynching them tomorrow will not really generate any discussion if they keep on playing like they've done so far.


Which explanation do you like best? Inexperience or scum?
Lolwut.

Well, since I want to lynch you I'd much rather prefer you to be scum : ). You aren't helping town at all atm. If the only defense you have is the noob card then you must die. Preferably sooner than later. Unless you do some actual scum hunting, which it doesn't look like you are trying to. If you do not get shot tonight you will have 48 hours to convince me and everyone else why you shouldn't be the one to be lynched * hint * make some analysis * hint *.

This post is not me bashing you as a player. I'm picking up on general trends in your play and and using our interaction as an extended example. It's written in the second person because I'm confident you will crack under the pressure. You know this too, don't you?

Zeph. You don't think I read your previous games before our confrontation on d1? You were all about facts and concrete arguments in normal mini mafia 2. So when I tried acting level-headed and nooby (the profile of someone I think your town-self would be comfortable with) to gauge if you were the same town Zeph from that game, you acted in the exact opposite way town Zeph would have. Everything you have against me is against me personally.

Little did you know, I was the one baiting YOU. Your first posts looked suspicious, but I wasn't sure yet, so I tried to elicit some kind of response. You then validated my suspicion. You blinked first and outed your "plan" to the thread. You weren't being patient. Your goal was not to build a case. Your goal was to make an excuse for the sake of your appearance.
This whole game, all your posts have done is feed the chaos. You don't focus. Examples.

talismania's filter - summarized nicely by BKEXE - is terrible. He was helpful during the "discussion that everyone can take any instance and still be town" phase, but not after.

I am not sure about prplhz... I guess he is a decent lynch tho, he did go afk out of nowhere, and last time I saw him doing that he was scum. He's not the kind of guy who just "goes" away.

Well, consolidating votes won't hurt, right? I still want to go back to CD on the future.


You are saying nothing.

Glasse I thought was hilariously obviously scummy.  Like so blatant I honestly don't know what to think.  Guess I should go dig up another game of his.

Then he mirrors a player that has shown a case, throw a bunch of unnecessary town reads(nobody asked that, why do it) and after some fluff he says Glasse was "hilariously obviously scummy" without giving true reasoning(ie. giving a post and explaining why that was a scum post).

Then he is rolefishing "for his own amusement".

wbg outing masons is a town move because he believes there is scum in the masons; He is outing them in order to pressure them.

VE is town because his posting lines up with cautious blue that wants to protect his supposedly powerful mason role.
Erandorr is dumb, but I'd say he wouldn't be that dumb as scum.

Talismania's posts made sense for me when he posted them, and I still see them as possible town opinions.

prplhz has been baiting scum with certain actions, while making sense with others. He hasn't caused chaos and is doing a good job in keeping the pace of the thread.

Everything else is a null tell.

I hate defending other people. That's their job. I only defend someone when I feel I have someone better to lynch. I don't.

Deal with it.

'sup folks. Busy sunday yesterday. Didn't read much, so I didn't post. I'm still re-reading some stuff, but I'll post some of my thoughts right now.

The obvious one, CountDropula:
1. Uses terrible arguments to jump into my bandwagon:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=22#436

He is using my random votings from 3-5minutes into the day as reasoning to vote me. He is using my change of instances based on someone's else opinion as reasoning to vote me. Neither of these are scum traits, nor do they push scum agendas.
It's entirely reasonable that a town player would change opinions within two posts, given that someone gives the proper arguments.
Random voting someone for the sake of random voting, 5 minutes into the day, is pretty much a bait for scum. A real town would look at that and realize it's not a reason to push someone; It means NOTHING action-wise. Yet, he uses it to make my wagon gain strength. Granted, he never voted me; which is even worse: if you have a suspicion on someone, why would you not vote him?

2. Appeal to emotion: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=23#459
(From Ace's thread on how-to-play-scum: a good scum trait is provoking emotion out of town)

I don't know where did he pull that I had a burst of emotion. Besides, why bring it up at all? Again, it's one of these traits that don't determine someone's alignment - in fact, I'd argue it's much more likely that a town player show a burst of emotion than a scum player.

Then he pulls some bullshit "You never answered XXX" when I answered everything. And I even said more a few posts later. He never counter-argued. Then he calls for some "concrete defense" when he nevers says what about my defense is not concrete. Simply put, he is throwing loaded(and VERY loaded) sentences to try and break me down. How the f* does someone give a "concrete defense" on this game? Fucking no one can do that without being an Innocent Child or confirmed-town-dayvig.

There is also these posts:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=40#800
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=41#802
These posts have no purpose except bringing emotion into the table and - hopefully for him - numbing people's judgement. This is pretty much a scum move.

3. Hypocrisy, blending in:

This makes him look good right, he is calling for people to post...
He has two freakingly terrible posts that only talk about one subject and is calling for people to be active

That's trying to blend in without putting effort into the game. He is a lurker himself and is calling lurkers out.

The more he post, the scummier he looks to me. Well, his first post is red as fuck already, but he is just being worse over time.

So yeah, I'll keep reading stuff but my vote is on him already.

Okay, I'm caught up:

sloosh, what are you doing? You vote wiggles with no explanation, people call you out for it, you change your vote to me with no explanation at first, people call you out for it, then your explanation is that I was your first suspicion (even though you randomly voted wiggles first?) because my posting is mechanical? My posting is mechanical and that's why I'm scummy, maybe you could elaborate on that. Even though you seem to have changed your mind again to prplhz before I responded to you. Are you just jumping on the easiest target every time? What's the deal?

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."

I am going to go with gut for my day one vote. Zephirdd's posting is the scummiest right now in my opinion. He spends a lot of his time telling other, presumably town players, how to play. Something mafia can't seem to resist doing in most of the games I play. He is stating mostly FACTS (people talking like they know something for certain are suspicious because only mafia have FACTS) and very little speculation.

As for everyone who is suspicious of me for lurking, you're right, it's suspicious, my bad. I work during the day (USEAST) and can't post till night usually. Expect my posts then, like I'm doing now. If anyone has any questions for me now is a good time I will be around.

##vote: Zephirdd


Alright, there are a couple of wrong things here.
1. Calls sloosh out, yet considers me the scummiest target

2. Says prplhz has gotten too much negative attention. Can you tell me it is possible to give him a positive trait to his play? No you can't. Because there is NO positive trait to his play so far. He's gotten a lot of negative attention because that's what his play warrants - and you agree with this on your very last sentence. In fact, his lynch has actually gotten an awfully lot of resistance, more than I would like.

3. Reasoning for me being scum is bullshit and does not warrant a vote. I posted an awful lot for day 1 this game, so if you want to point out specific points in my play, do it and I'll counter anything you have.

I've stated things with certainty, because that's what I believe to be true. Stating things as FACTS means being certain of yourself. Maybe they are wrong later, who cares. What's important is that I'm decisive in what I say, and I should be held accountable to that later.

Also, I love how it took you 39mins to arrive at the conclusion that I am scum, when you are behind 10 pages. Will want to hear more from you.


1. Well, at least you can read.
2. I stand by what I said.
3. "Your reason is bullshit because it's bullshit."

Good job.


As I said, I posted an awfully lot. Point me what is scummy specifically, and I'll point out why it is not scummy.

Additionally, I added reasoning for stating things with certainty. That alone should show why it's a bad argument to vote me for that.

Also, I just realized I kinda read your third paragraph wrongly. I thought you were complaining that I was posting with certainty, but you're complaining that I am mostly stating "facts" instead of "speculation".

Guess what, speculating stuff is terrible =_= Oh I think you are mafia oh maybe you are town! No. I look at what people post, and define scum or town according to what they do. Then, I state a FACT and use it to prove that someone is SCUM. In fact, my spreadsheet right now only has facts, and these facts help me determine an alignment. Playing under speculations is a bad way to play imo.

No compulsion to go crazy in response to suspicion because you are town in this game. In Mad Men, you say that nothing is concrete because you don't want it to be. You thrive on chaos.

And another one from normal mini. Note the importance he places on facts.

I need a break. Look. Can you define a fact in simple terms? I can: it's something that can't be denied.

I posted facts. I literally pointed the obvious. Things that cannot be denied. These things made me infer that someone is scum - scumhunting

I have not seen you pointing out facts about me. I have not seen you pointing out things that can't be denied, specifically, the way I'm doing to an actual candidate. Do you think your vote on me has any chance of gaining any traction to form into a lynch? If you think so, I think you are wrong because your case is substantially weak when compared to what I point out about the actual candidate. If you don't think so, then why are you even bothering with me?

I need a break. I'll grab some beer. Watch EVO. and go to sleep. Don't wait my answers until tomorrow at ~00KST(which should be noon for me).


Day and night.

All you are posting in this game is speculative, your case against me is not complete and irrefutable - actually it's the opposite since its based on so little. Town Zeph would never have done this. This is expected from a lazy scum case. Same thing with that "minicase" on talismania. It's well below the standard of your previous town game.

You voted me at 8.59 August 4. I had one post at the time. one. Ever since then you've been pushing me as scum. How can you draw a conclusion like that from nothing? You know something we don't, and you were trying to create a distraction from more relevant issues.
If you respond with a crazy belligerent post you just lynched yourself. Honestly you are dead with any response you make, because you are so irredeemably bad at playing scum that you will make a mistake and I will pick you apart with it.
Now who's the noob scum?

Guys, don't bury this post. Please give it serious thought, cause I've got a really strong read on this guy. If I'm wrong about this, I deserve to be lynched. Get this guy into the spotlight and he will crack.
Please. Lets lynch Zephirdd and start killing mafia.


Posts a giant read on Zeph, but a lot of it boils down to "baiting" emotional responses. Baiting an emotional response is a scum move, not a town move. An emotional response to a real case is one thing, but this is the first time he actually did anything besides trying to "bait" Zeph.

After this, he stops analysis in favor of his "scumpuppet" horse shit, and continues to tunnel based purely off of the same mediocre evidence.



I'm strongly convinced we're dealing with CountDropula the scum here. However, even if I'm right and he flips red, I don't think that's indicative either way on Zeph, due to the nature of his "case" it could just as easily be an effort to discredit a real case against Zeph.

Smurfs never tell people who they are... That's the purpose of a smurf.

Eventually people figure them out or they screw up big time themselves when posting with their origninal account but smurfs lie about wether or not they are a smurf for obvious reasons.

He is 99% a smurf, although I don't agree that he has to be mafia, nor do I think it is likely for him to flip mafia. Though with bugs flipping green the chances increase I guess..
Well I guess the purpose with being a smurf is to avoid people judging you by your meta. Why would someone smurf and then troll the thread to death if he got town? It doesn't make sense. But I guess he could be doing it just to fuck with everyone...


Well, let's be perfectly honest... this game hasn't been an ideal situation of town cooperating and scum hunting based on cases. Maybe he started off trying to make his "case" against Zeph properly, it was getting ignored due to being six times longer than it needed to be, so he started trolling.

It would fit the rest of the game pretty well, and it seems that sensationalism has been creating more lynches than logic, all to no avail so far. So he swapped his methods around to keep trying to push a lynch.

Way I see it, there's three scenarios.

A: Fake bus attempt in case Zeph gets flipped red later.

B: Attempt to push through a mislynch, (if Zeph is town, which I guess is still possible) selling on how long he's been suspicious, without being the one who swings voters.

C: Intentionally useless fluff posting.

His posts and case aren't something I can plausibly call contributory or serious, but they're visible and tunnely enough to keep people from calling them out as scummy right off the bat because he calls so much attention to himself.

I suppose in interest of fairness I should come up with some hypotheticals that match the posting that assume CD is town.

A: He's trying to get the person he sees as the right guy, using the wrong reasons, due to how the vote swings have pushed through. If he's doing this, it's an insult to all of us, and a desperate sort of gamble that most townies don't need to try to take.

B: Playing under the influence or trolling townie.

I kind of find the scum scenarios more plausible, although, to be fair, this is all WIFOM.

It seems, from the OP, town masons don't doublestack like scum ones can.

Mason
At the beginning of every cycle, you may send a PM to me detailing who you would like to Mason with during that cycle. You may PM with that person for the full cycle. You may not choose a person you have already Masoned with for the remainder of the game.


Mason

You may not choose a person you have already Masoned with for the remainder of the game. The Mafia team will have a set number of people to choose as Masons. Mafia with other roles (Roleblocker, Godfather) can double up on Mason roles.


So I'd be awfully suspicious, unless the difference in wording from the OP is an oversight. Should probably verify through BC.

I take it, then, CD, that while you're living up to that profile of your posting I made, you're not going to defend yourself?

Or were you not reading the thread well enough to spot it, since you're only worried about what's most current in the thread, like scum?

I still think he's a strong lynch candidate, for the same reasons I did already, with a mislynch he helped push added on top of it.

However, I think that if people aren't interested in VE, CD is also a great target.

Right now we don't have a DT. We have what could easily be a fakeclaim.

If it's a scum who's already a high visibility potential lynch, even grabbing one more mislynch for them before dying would be huge.

Without having more information about the claim, I feel safer going into a scummy target. What did you think about my Dropula case?

Well, the whole problem is that it's a claim by proxy via mason, saying that Talis is red. He's a decent town read for a fair number of us, and we don't know who's claiming it, which restricts us knowing what it means.

And for the record, Toad, I've had one for several (real) days, based on reasons I chatted with him about in skype. He doesn't feel scum motivated to me. He's not afraid to change his mind with a reason, he's not afraid to tunnel with conviction.

Unless he's got some amazing scum meta I don't know about, I really got a townie impression out of him. Also, if he was scum, he probably wouldn't have convinced me to drop Erandorr with good persistent logic... you know, the guy people got mislynched yesterday?

I'd like to hear this claim from Xsebt, though.

Toad, you're ranting on and on about how good you are at getting townies killed, and you want to make me out to be scum because I was wrong about the guy? If Xsebt shows up and claims, I'm more than happy to lynch on a DT claim. I'm curious what, out of me wanting more information, makes me somehow scummy.

And I don't like how you're screaming Talis is some giant scumread, when he's basically been lower on the radar than a lot of people who ended up dead, all of whom YOU were pushing for.

Also I'm not ranting about how you are (are you?) wrong about the guy. I'm ranting about your reaction and how you're protecting him out of nowhere, without giving a reason or anything at all, without doubting for a second that Talis has to be the townie in this set-up. That's the reason I'm reconsidering you.


I'm perfectly willing to admit my read on him was wrong, if it was, and if we have a DT claim I'll vote with it. I've elaborated more than once on why I thought Talis was town, if you can't be assed to track it down, let me help.

For one his measured job in skype of helping me get past my Eran tunnel. I can't imagine a scum motive for that. For two, he's not afraid to change his mind if there's a reason, but he doesn't do it at the drop of a hat.

Doing that while being active isn't very scummy normally. Add in that on several reads we had similar opinions, and on the ones where we didn't, we were able to discuss it productively, he just didn't feel scum.

You'll understand, of course, if I let you do the footwork for yourself to corroborate this, because I've already done my part in saying it. You can try the filter button on any of my posts to make it easier to sift through and find where I've said it.

You know, as much as I really never got a scum vibe off you, and as much as your argument here is making sense (with at least quick glimpses at filter for activity), even if we assume miller, having a red check alive at MYLO/LYLO is terrible for reaching critical consensus when the scum numbers are coming so close to townie.

I don't want to lynch for information, and I don't want to screw up our odds. But I still want to trust my town read on you. If you can sway enough people on a lynch I'd prefer to get behind, I'll swap my vote up. If you're wrong, we take it as scum confirmation and off you instead.

I gave a lot of reasons for my town read on you, and I'm sure that scummy people with an agenda will be targeting me after today's lynch no matter how it goes, since I believe you, so I might as well follow my gut.

I already made myself clear, VE. I think he's town. And people already want to believe I'm scum, for various reasons they haven't elaborated on, outside of the fact that apparently anybody who mentions me as potentially scummy in passing ends up dead.

I covered my reasons for not wanting to believe it, I went over why I'm willing to switch if he swings a vote, and I explained why I'll lynch him if there's no better option.

Speaking of people who somehow survived what should have been a lynch by pushing the vote onto somebody else, of course, shall we talk about you?

Well, he seems sort of scummy, but his biggest attacker is CD, who I really have my doubts about.

That said, I don't think CD's alignment would be indicative of Zeph's, but I think he's a higher read, personally.

Actually, like I already said, unless he presents a truly strong target, like a perfect case, we should still kill him. Unless he's able to prove himself to be worth the gamble of potentially having alive at MYLO/LYLO when he's been redchecked, he's a liability.

Either we believe this setup is absurd as hell, or we see how today's lynch goes and start looking at cases. I usually don't trust anyone, but starting now, I go into paranoia mode.

Well either both me and Dropula is scum or bot of us is town.


I know. And it sounds fucking crazy, but so does the setup people are suggesting we have here.

Let's face it though, CD also sounds crazy. The only thing making me think it's plausible is the fact that you'd never agree to something insane like that, and you'd probably bus any idiot who ran it behind your back.

If there's two DTs, it could explain the seeming excess of Millers, though. We really need to figure out what to do about this. It starts increasing the odds Talis really is a miller, to me, but you know how bad I hate letting a redcheck live. It's a sign of how sold I was on Talis's townieness that I'm even entertaining the notion of not lynching him.

@Jingle, we have effectively the same scenario on either side:

2) Zeph vs. CD/Lazer

If either of talis or zeph flip town (not miller) the 'dt' is a liar and will be killed. I have yet to get any input from xsebt and toad has disappeared. CD and Lazer have actively tried to confirm each other. Lynching the #2 redcheck gives a much more apparent conclusion on how to proceed tomorrow.

We do need to lynch one of our redchecks. I'd rather it be zeph. In addition, you're just itching to believe talis is a miller due to your town read of him. We're in LYLO unless we hit scum anyways, lets kill the scummier looking of the redchecks first. The other will still be there tomorrow.


It makes sense to me. I'd really love some vindication on my Talis read.

Does this situation seem wrong to anyone else? Like, play this game has just been screwy.

Well, I never did figure out why VE was still alive, for the pisston of reasons that already existed, and beyond that... I'd really have to go back through.

Possibly look at the active lurkers, I'm sure there's at least one scum in there.

I plan to go through a few filters either tonight or tomorrow morning to try and dig some things up, I know there's a few things on the edge of my mind about a few people.

Funny that I have to go back 2+ pages in your filter since you even last mentioned VE being a scumread.

If by 'about time' you mean 'people are now looking at townie talismania's VE case' then yes. Where were you pushing VE when talis was making his large (good) case? I also remind people reading this that talis was a TOWN-READ for Jingle, so why wasn't Jingle helping push the VE case with Talis??


It must be very convincing to mention my filter when you clearly haven't read it. Handy to make a case out of nothing. I don't know what the hell you're thinking, but if you want to make ME look scummy, you'll have to try harder to push through a mislynch on me.

I wanted VE days ago. He somehow got Erandorr through instead. This was after Talis explained point by point why he thought the case against Talis was weaker than it looked, and sold me on it. That was one of the things that also convinced me on Talis.

All this information is readily available. You know, in my filter, which will also explain every other thing you're waiting to bring up as "evidence" against me.

You're trying to make things out like I'm "protecting" VE, based on some arbitrary interpretation of information you claim to have looked through, while ignoring all of it. Make a case against me, or don't. Either way, you just blew your cover scum.

Your "replacement BOTD" is officially gone, coming after me with nothing and calling me pointing it out as suspicious an OMGUS is a pretty clear scum motive.

Of course, lynching me will prove you're scum, so I have nothing to fear.

Ask around. I always get pissed about batshit, stupid, tinfoil hat cases that ignore the information.


that's the funny thing. there wasn't a tinfoilhat case. there was me observing something about your filter and you blowing up about it.


You pretty clearly were implying I'm scum based on the dumbest vague information I could imagine, I suppose you think you can make a real case against me, based on... what?

Go ahead, I'm looking forward to laughing in your face as you explain how everything I've done to try and help the town, while being blown off and ignored with every scumread I made, somehow connects me to a plot to fake Elvis's death.

Make it or fuck off.

You so funny, qtpie.

I want the masons to talk to me to convince them of my innocence? Nice mafia mindset. No, I want masons to talk to me so I can extract information. Like with VE.

I'm not trying to make you scum because you're "less of an idiot", whatever that means. The fact is you're having an unnecessary aneuryism when I pointed something out about VE from your filter. Where's the OMGUS? there's no OMGUS, just using emotive words now are we?

"coming after you with nothing" - see, I wasn't even coming after you before, I was prodding you for information. And by god, you've given me that information.

Let's play, Jingle.


Oh bullshit, this isn't some sort of smoking gun, this is you being too narrow-minded to realize that if you want to attack someone with nothing you should be ready to do something besides turn it into mud slinging.

This sort of "bait" shit you're trying to play, it's a load of shit. I don't know where the hell you get the idea that I'm scum because I called you on your weak effort to make me look suspicious based on nothing, which means it can only be scummy.

Let me guess, if VE flips red, you'll say I've been bussing him all along. If he flips town, you'll say I wanted distance from the case I had made? That's scum behavior, setting me up so anything can be a case. I'm getting you lynched.

Gonna risk leaving me alive until tomorrow's day cycle to massage your ego, are we?


I couldn't kill you at night if I wanted to, but my ego isn't the one going nuts here, you're the one trying to force a mislynch on one of the only people who isn't confirmed who has some measure of town credit.

Although a vigi saving us from the danger of you somehow conning the lurkers into killing me tomorrow, with some help from your scumbuddies would be nice.

If you honestly think you've made a case against me by "fishing for a reaction" by referencing my filter without actually bringing anything out of my filter to make a case with, I'm going to call it scummy.

If anyone thinks that's an OMGUS, I'm truly sorry, but there's not much in Marv's filter to work with without going as far off into "what if-maybe" land as he's in. Convenient votes and cases against people who were already seen as scummy to establish town cred after replacing in... (what scum team leaves alive a replacement townie who's getting BOTD again?) and then he goes after the hard target.

Me.

And no, no mason logs. I had a lot on my plate over the weekend, and showed back up to this nonsense of an attack by Marv, after which I've been trying to keep some distance so I don't get told off again like I did in Newbie XXIII for being mean. Oh wait, who cohosted that, requested me to replace in for him, and should know about the debacle? Right, the guy who wants to turn it into a scumtell.

Look at his "case" against me. It's all fluff based on trying to force an emotional reaction out of me. Go read the page he keeps referencing and tell me it doesn't look suspicious.

So, you ignore my mason logs with Talis completely, and you "prove" that you're town by talking about you believing Talis was town, you voting VE, and you voting Zeph.

Of course, I believed Talis was town, I tried to lynch VE days before it happened, and I was on the fence about Zeph for a while, until a solid case was made. But I'm scum, and you're town!

This case is absurd, and it's either scummy or a joke. Piss off.

If you want to convince me you're town, go for someone who's actually scummy, or at least make a case against me that doesn't ignore the majority of my filter.

If you people are actually crazy enough to listen to this shit, you deserve to lose to that guy.

Go read, that. Notice how I seem to suddenly shift my opinion.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668&currentpage=56#1103

Then, actually READ my mason logs with Talis, and you'll see how it makes sense, as he explains shit to me.

But hey, you're wanting to lynch me, and just hand the game to scum. (Or win it for them). That's your choice, but if you think you're making a case against me, you're full of shit. Piss off. I won't waste any more time with answering your baseless accusations until you stop cherrypicking a tiny fraction of my filter, or trying to force an emotional response and acting like succeeding at it makes me scummy.

I could probably make your filter look just as bad, if you had one.

Come on guys, get your voting slippers on.

What has Jingle done this cycle? OMGUS'd me, swore at me, called my case bad without trying to refute ANY of it, made some point about his logs showing he hadn't read my case, and what?

In short, Jingle has done nothing this cycle that even remotely suggests he is trying to win this game for town. NOTHING. I clearly want to win this game for town. C'mon.

Vote JingleHell.


Oh no, I swore at your stupid fucking "case". I was getting ready to kick back and laugh at the sheep for handing you the game, but this pile of shit is a joke. You made a "case" out of personal attacks, lies, and smoke, and you're going to act like that's MY tactic?

That's a load of shit and you know it. I made the only effort I should NEED to make to refute your nonsense, I pointed it out for the joke it was. It's inflammatory bilge being dropped like some sort of information, and then you act like I'm the one playing on emotions. I'm sure you and your surviving scumbuddy are laughing hysterically in the QT right now that people are actually buying this.

But whatever, if people want to lose this badly, good riddance, I can't say it's been fun dealing with a bunch of narcissistic assholes who yell at me every time I try to make a case anyways, so watching town lose to you will be funny, Marv.

You arrogant little prick, you talk about the way I address you when you're dropping this shit? And you act like me saying something back to you is scummier than your bullshit?

Say, explain to me again why hypothetical scum me let you live?

Or why hypothetical scum anyone let you live, if you're half as good as people seem to think?

Have fun losing, town. I'll come back and laugh at you in a farewell post at deadline.

Actually quite a few people called me scum at different points, it's just that until the end there was always someone scummier than me buying me time to shoot people.

Someone pointed it out once... everybody that suspects Jingle ends up dead. Well, until Marv, who I wanted to shoot, but I figured if there was one thing potentially worse than a case against me, it would be if a confirmed townie took over doing it, and we had two of those after the detectives had to die.

The "case" marv started with was pure fluff. He already planned to make the real one he came back to. His "reaction fishing" was just to get the means to convince the lurkers to vote for me. Any reaction, no matter what, can be made into a spectacle to convince lurkers to vote the right way for the wrong reasons.

Jingle, you should have NK me, not Lazer. Lazer was confirmed town but that matters for nothing if he's not going to push a mafia case hard


I was honestly hoping the lurkers would be swayed on "why the fuck would marv still be alive if this was the case".

And I hate confirmed townies. Sure, 20/20 hindsight, and I knew beforehand you were probably more of a direct threat, but I try not to underestimate people, and Lazer can be fairly bright, even if he sucks at convincing people. Giving him confirmed townie status seemed iffy, even if he was insisting on not seeing me as scummy.

Was an educated gamble that went bad.

why do people give such little credit to actions taken :<

if i were mafia i would have had to have taken the decision to start bussing people hard in a situation where it was totally unnecessary. it makes so little sense to me how people could view it that way.


it's totally your scum meta though

being a huge jerk to town and bussing all your crappy teammates

it's the marvellosity way


nuh-uh, my scum meta is to do what is necessary to win. In LIV when it was just me and froggynoddy after the modkills, I protected him for all I was worth because I needed us both alive.

Just as a small note to everyone - despite how we went at each other in the thread, Jingle and I have always gotten on pretty well and that still remains the case.


Indeed. I just had townie meta to try and live up to. Convincing lurking townies to vote for the right guy is always a shitstorm.

Jingle, if there is one thing I believe, is that meta is pure bullshit :D

Sure you can determine some players on meta, but you aren't the case. You barely had 5 games played; it's the most volatile part of your meta, and you can't be accused out of it. If you play a game as town, don't ever post thinking "but I need to live to my meta" because it's simply wrong. If people try to accuse you over meta, show them their logic is wrong in this case.

That's my 2 cents


My meta is the primary reason Marv knew to lynch me.

And I don't worry about meta as town, I just acknowledge it. But as scum, it's easy to slip into a holding pattern, like I did. Due to some assistance from townies who didn't want to listen to the nublet, it didn't look scummy, but since Marv knew a townie jingle would never do that, and he knew I would have murdered VE, he knew to push me.

I don't think that was the case at all. I wasn't following this game, but I was talking to marv and he linked me that case when he made it. Just reading through it, it felt strong enough to me (without going back and reading the rest of the thread) to make you scummy. Your interactions with VE were damning. The fact that you started throwing a shitfit about it instead of even ATTEMPTING to defend yourself was just icing on the cake.

E: Also, I think you need to get away from the shitfit meta. I know thats what you do, but you're not going to be able to bully around vets with it like you were in newbie games.


I don't bully anyone. The case was nonsense in the context of the thread. Without knowing that it was horribly out of character for me (you're also aware of this) it wouldn't have seemed particularly bad. Most people missed it entirely, because they pushed me out of the thread.

Also, if you look through the game, acting like I'm the only person who ever got pissed about a "right person wrong reason" or "wrong person right reason" lynch is ridiculous. I point you to Zeph, WBG, VE...

It's kind of a normal reaction. Also, I've never "bullied" people around with it. The success has always come from smacking people over the head with the obvious, sometimes dumbed down a bit until they understand it. The getting pissed part has never been productive. I just had no choice but to do it since Marv was reaction fishing, but it wouldn't have mattered.

Marv's ORIGINAL poke at me, before he actually made a case, during the night, was terrible, and had I been town, I'd have targeted anyone doing a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" emotion-exploiting case.

See Newbie XVIII where I ripped Vivax apart with just enough plausible deniability to finish things out.

About the QT maybe Skype groups might work.

yeah thought about that myself. The only thing that really gets in the way of that is someone clicking the wrong guy and sending a message to someone who's in the same game you're in but not mafia as well, but that'd be your own fault :p

Other than that, I guess changing your nick in QT's, telling people who everyone is via pm's and only talking about people using those fakenicks should probably work as well, shouldn't it?


If I was in the scum QT and that was happening, I'd just look for correlations. "Oh damn dude, you slipped hard" or "shit we need to NK X" would make it fairly easy.

By the time you succesfully obfuscate the QT, you'd be better off just using another method of communication.
