/in for my 4th and last NMM the hell with waiting until XXII finishes. I was annoyed enough to miss out on XX, much less XXI, I'm in and I will be very very in.

okay snipped. I was pretty sure that since he was dead and no longer in the game I could ask about his play only. I'll wait for XXII to end.

right but he was a vigi and he was a D1 lynch. I can't ask him in PM/obs because I am in the game. I want to know for this game though and not XXII, I need to know why he did what he did so I can read him here.

I don't want information on anyone besides Golbat who is not in the game.

As I said though, I'll wait.

Yeah, I get it. My bad.

I want to know about his play for this game. I will not say any more about it until I am dead/game is over.

I want to reiterate that I don't want any information on XXII, Golbat just doesn't have other games to look at his meta. I want information about Golbat for XXIII.

Anyways yeah, I'm not going to continue trying to explain this. No worries, nothing untoward has happened or will happen.

to those of you in this game, I want this in my filter before we start.
I generally work
Mon ---
Tues 10a-530p
Wed 7p-6a
Thur 9p-6a
Fri 9p-6a
Sat 7p-6a
Sun ----

Sometimes I work sundays and sometimes those 7s and 9s get switched. I am going to do my best to never mention this in game because I got lynched last game partially for giving too many RL excuses for my absence which I generally feel is good play however I don't want to do it again since it got my lynched when I was town.

During my first couple games as scum, I was was unbelievably bad. Like, so bad I was immediately lynched. Since then I've improved a fair amount, but it's definitely difficult for me.


Yeah, Emergency and Bureaucracy indicates you're not *quite* there yet <3


Dude, all I gotta say is check out Palmar's I'm a cop you idiot Mafia and you'll realize that I've actually improved a huge amount at scum play ;_; that's how bad I used to be.


Just read that whole game, your play was hilarious if nothing else. So many GIFs, I love that Palmar said that any spam would garner a modkill, you managed to get away with it.

Not just reasonable, it worked great. You guys played a wonderfully fun N0/D1. Are LYLO games like that ever made anymore? I don't feel like I have seen a similar set-up and I think it would be fun.

No-lynching Day 1 is a terrible terrible idea. Even in the event of a mislynch, town gains so much information from the voting process that even a lynch with "poor odds" is beneficial. Furthermore, I believe town has a higher than 25% chance of lynching mafia if we don't bandwagon on an active/controversial poster (this is where most of the mislynches come from in the recent games I've seen). A no-lynch gives mafia a free night-kill while keeping the town in the dark.

But with scum being able to coordinate themselves, I'd imagine it's very easy for them to force a bandwagon on a townie, no?


I think you over-estimate the power of mafia. Mafia only have 3 votes as opposed to town's 9 votes. Furthermore, if Mafia violently forces a bandwagon, it reveals their hand and makes them easy lynches in subsequent days.


I was reading through the OP and host said that we would know which roles are in the game, but not the number of roles. I'm not sure how Hapahauli knows there are only 3 scum in the game.

Also, why is Promethelax so quiet? In the last game I played him, he racked up 10 posts in the first six hours of the game.


I'm saying this once and never again.
When I'm here I'll be active (as scum or as town look at XIX (scum) and XXII (town) for confirmation) when I am not here I will be at work, parties or with my fiance. During those times I will not post.

I have come around in my thinking from previous games and agree that lynching lurkers is a good policy to have. When the town is inactive or loses its active players it is very easy for the scum to start leading the town. In my first game my scum buddies were able to dominate the conversation. In my last game that son of a bitch hapa cost me my perfection and i have been in mourning ever since.

Its redemption time

Alright lets not go accusing people of lurking in the first 2 or so hours into the game. We have 48 hours and while i want to see activity its important to remember this is forum mafia there will be times people can be active and not active.

You can easily go back and see the results of that game. takes 2 seconds and now people are going to start questioning your effort
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=353315


Speaking of previous games i would like to know how yourharry is going to aproach this game. If we are going to get your logic that makes no sense where your "sure" sombody is town or mafia i say we lynch you know before your logic festers and contaminates the town. One of the reason i lynched calgar in my previous game is because he actually used your logic in his own defense. Unforgivable in my view.

Your thoughts?



I'm not accusing Prome of lurking, I'm just saying that his behavior this game doesn't match up with his behavior last game (when he flipped green) and his behavior in XIX (when he was scum).

Promethelax might be trying to be quieter than last game, because those 10 posts in six hours were a big part of getting him lynched, were they not?

I should probably be doing the same, but posting is just so much DAMN FUN.


That's exactly my point. In XIX Prome was scum and led discussions actively from D1. In XXII Prome was town and posted a ton of fluff, and posted a bunch of weak cases. In XXIII, Prome is not posting. Weird

Or its been only three hours and its sunday night and he dosent work on monday so he is getting drunk. Or like he stated before the game starts he some times works on sundays.



Glad to see you are here for me bud! Yeah, I was working.

Also Shady: my cases were actually pretty strong. The one on you was obviously wrong but it was a good case. (lets leave this til XXII finishes)

I see there is a lot of policy talk, I don't like policies and feel that they don't contribute to town. I will be making a case on someone and voting for them on that case. Their posting habits may be a factor or may not but I will not make a policy on it.

Lynching a player based on inactivity is good on multiple grounds.

1. It encourages discussion, whether or not the player is scum. Discussion should be good for town.
2. Scums tend to lurk. Case in point: XIX
3. Having an inactive town around is a potential mod-kill that could mean losing the game, e.g. in LYLO.


1. True!
2. Did you read that game? I had town by the nose by virtue of not lurking.
3. No! Bad YourHarry, lynching a townie is always bad. Lynching a bad townie hurts town because we lose a townie.

Hi all,

sorry for my first post. I don't feel it contributed much, although it has elicited an interesting/hilarious response from YH.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Promethelax and I am town.

My strengths in mafia games are my ability to build strong cases and to post in an active and pro-town manner.
My weaknesses include using the words town and townie too much in my posts and often failing to explain things that seem self-evident to me.

I am very excited to be in this game and I'll be at my computer for another hour or so.

For those of you interested in active scum/passive scum Hapa and I both played excellent active scum games XIX and XXI, respectively, and will be active regardless of alignment.

YH was town in XXI and played as inexplicably as he is playing here. He voted for three people on D1 and unvoted one of them about a million times (rereading his filter I can't tell how many were because he wrote them wrong and how many were because he changed his mind). All three of his targets were town.

Hapa: thanks for getting the discussion going. How do you feel about Golbat?

But forreal. 4 posts in a row is unnecessary

At the moment, I'm suspicious of three-ish people. I'll have cases written up on them probably within 8 hours.

Right now, however I need to go beat tuition money out of my high school guidance counselor, and then go suit shopping. I have no clue when i'll be back, or if I'll be able to post in between. See you laters.

I'd like to bring attention to this post: it is neither a scum or a town tell but if you promise to make reads you had better do it. Golbat I want to hear what you think about people and I will be happy to vote you if you do not provide these cases, I know irl things can get in the way so I don't expect them at this moment but I do expect them within this day.

goodluck on your tuition moneys.

sorry for third post, missed Lvdr up there:

that seems like a decent point. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and I will have to go back and look at Syn.

I had another point about Golbat in the above post. This point is made out of WIFOM. Feel free to ignore it.+ Show Spoiler +
If 1. Golbat is scum, 2. YH is in this game and 3. I am town Golbat defending me against YH could be a good idea to buy him town cred with someone he knows is an active and experienced (for a newbie game) poster /speculation, feel free to ignore this, I probably will

Prome- What do you think of hapa? Seems solidly town, but a gf play could be devastating, esp given that he has been an active and successful scum before.


I like active posters and it is great to have another one in this game but as I said, neither of us (Happa, me) should be cleared of suspicion just because we are active we have both played active scum games where we roflstomped the town.

As those of you who played XXII with me know I believe that town needs a strong voice, a strong leader to create a positive town atmosphere and make sure that the town functions. A town Shepard essentially (lol sheep) not to tell people where to vote but to be the voice of reason when two townies tunnel each other (a la VE and WBG in every game ever, for a specific example see how Mattchew intercedes between them in the first MTG mini). This being said I do not think that the most active poster is always the man for this job and I would be wary of anyone trying to put themselves in the role of a town leader who should be followed, instead I think the town needs a leader who can tell us to back off of each others' throats and think about our case without confirmation bias. I will try to provide that voice when I can but I would do that as scum too because I think it is the most townie play possible.

What do you mean by gf?

When I read his posts in this thread I saw him as my #1 scum read (though that does not mean too much, I don't have any realy strong reads yet).
Then I read his previous game and saw him flip green.

Now I just don't know what to think of him....
If he's town, his play makes no sense. If he's scum, his play makes no sense because it's TOO obvious.

I just don't know what he IS, what I know is that his play doesn't help town.

Also, sorry about the fluff, will try to not post random shit, but old habits die hard...


Read his posts and look for the motivation in them, is it scum or town? As scum why would he do what he has done? as town why would he do it. Actions speak louder than meta.

I understand about the fluff but I would really like it to be gone. If you want to get drunk and pm gifs of cats falling down stairs or whatever lets wait for the end of the game. While we are here I would like every post to contribute to the discussion.

okay that is what I thought.

You are completely ass backwards on this one. XIX and XXI the most active mafia in both of those were Goon, not GF. I do not feel that the role someone gets should effect their play. Most players have a general meta and they play to it whether blue, green or red. (Some have specific metas to each alignment). i.e. If I were to role a blue I would have said the same things I have said although I am in fact a VT.

Also the goal of being a really pro-town player as scum is to never get a dt check on you, be so clearly town that checking you would be a waste of a night check.

Though Harry has played so far with his pants squarely atop his head I feel that this is totally in line with his town meta, essentially I find his posting scummy and will be watching him but am hesitant to vote into him because his play is simply bad and, as any coach will tell you, bad play is a dumb-tell not a scum tell.

The player I have the most concern with right now is Golbat, as I said earlier making a promise and not following through is an anti-town behavior. Not simply bad play but anti-town. This allows for a player to get off the hook of suspicion because they have promised to do work to help town but also keeps them from having to put their reads into the thread which allows a scum player to stay neutral about people until they can let a townie make the case.

Until he posts his 'cases' my ##Vote will be on Golbat

You start off with the unreadable post, instead of fixing it you make a joke. Yes that point is old, and we've been over it already.

Then you vote without giving a reason:

Just to jump onto somebody else right after (note that none of either players you accuse have posted inbetween):
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=9#174

Both players have also FoS'd you before that, so you respond by voting for them.

When pointed out by the powers that be that you are voting wrong, you go back to voting Promethelax instead
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=9#177

I'd like for you to make sense of that, for I cannot.
Your play is confusing to me, because as town, I don't see why you'd do that.


That's how I play. When I make a read, I post it. Sometimes I ask others to guess the reasons behind my vote. And sometimes, reasons behind my suspicions can seem trivial, especially in the beginning of the day. And as Hapha pointed out, I throw in different theories out there and see what people think of them and which one sticks. And they do a good job generating plenty of discussions early in the day. To be fair though, the second link referenced by "Just to jump onto somebody else right after" was actually me fixing my previous post regarding my suspicion on mkfuba. I guess that means you didn't read my original "messed" up post, because the contents were identical.

And it seems that iamperfection seems to be blaming me for us losing the XXI game. I admit that I did not have a very good track record in voting or even in my reads that game. Though, I did suspect that calgar that game was town, which basically got ignored, understandably. I got some coaching though, and I think I am improving. You may disagree, but let's see how I do this game. I have a confidence in myself this game. Just trust me


I expect better play from you here than in XXI and I think that this might have the inklings of such play in it. It is time to stop fighting off the suspicions on you though and make real reads for the whole thread to see.

If more people want to bring up Harry's bad play as scummy they will have to go through me. I am, here and now, hard defending his bad play. It is bad. Not scummy. The one thing that makes him look scummy to me was his first refusal to re-post his post after screwing up the formatting. Since than he has been playing in a pro-town way and I expect him to continue to improve.

So harry, though I think your play seems scummy I am going to base my read off of your meta, prove me right and play a pro-townrole here.

Restating another case while providing nothing of your own is potential-scum behavior.

Fair enough, I misunderstood the intention of your original post.

I see that the real Slim Shady stood up, I like your case SS and I'll think about Syn.

Regarding the case on Promethelax (by mkfuba07)

I'll be honest - I just don't have enough information to cast significant suspicion against Promethelax. I consider the meta-stuff as null tells. I consider his view on YourHarry a null-tell as well, and I give him some townie points for being willing to flip-flop on his views. I'd expect mafia to tunnel YourHarry more (hence my suspicions against iamperfection).

I also don't follow your logic here:

Show nested quote +
He mentions many actions that are considered pro-town, gives advice for appearing pro-town, and states as a strength "posting in an active and pro-town manner." When not giving meta advice, his posts are filled with instructions for how to be a good townie. This isn't an issue on its own, but he then avoids contributing to the discussion, either simply agreeing/disagreeing with people or telling them he'll look into it. His only case is one against Golbat based on something he admits is not a scum tell. He votes for Golbat despite stating that he feels that YH's play is scummy, and this is after he states that it's bad to lynch townies no matter what.


I think you twist his motives here. By the time he votes for Golbat, he's pretty up-front about how he thinks YH is town. Also, his statement about "it's bad to lynch townies" has no contradictions with his vote against Golbat, who he believes is exhibiting "anti-town behavior" by virtue of Golbat's promised (yet missing at that point in time) case.




I was writing up a response to Mfua but this sums it up pretty well, the things he said about me are dead wrong.

In my skimming I must have filled in the second paragraph with the information from his previous post where he said that it was "neither a scum or a town tell." At that point I was feeling so clever that I'd discovered this "brilliant new case" that I didn't take the time to make sure I had the facts straight. Confirmation biases abound! Sorry for misrepresenting you Prom.

I'll also have to keep in mind that just because something can be considered scummy behaviour doesn't mean that it is. That being said, I would like to see Prom's thoughts more when he responds to other peoples' posts. It feels to me like you are trying to encourage discussion, but are letting others do the talking for the most part. When I finally read it, your reasoning for Golbat was great, and I'd like to read more.

I have a quick question: In general is it better to spoiler quotes or leave them visible? I've seen both, so I'm not sure of the protocol.


I'm glad to see that you have seen the light.

I generally leave them, some people spoiler them. Personal preference.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

iamperfection is playing in a different way than he played as scum, in XIX where we were scum together he was very lurky and in general refused to stick his neck out. Since he has decided to be more open this game and put himself out there I would prefer to wait in his lynch I don't feel that he should be the target of this lynch, if his behaviour changes drastically in the later game we will have more information on him.

I am still very concerned about Golbat, he has given himself three excuses for not having the cases he promised:
first:

@ Lvdr - I appreciate your enthusiasm in the scumhunt, but you currently suspect about half of the players in the game so far. Perhaps you can narrow down your reads? I'm sure some players must seem more scummy to you than others.

@ ShadySands - Love the case and it's completely in-line with my suspicions earlier in the game. While I'm highly suspicious of Synystyr, I want to see more of his posting before I cast my vote. If he continues to ignore the questions I posed to him earlier, I will vote him tomorrow.

@ Golbat - What happened to your case against the 2nd player? Given that I was already casting heavy suspicion againt Synystyr, I was expecting a bit more than that out of you after such a build up.


Drunk. If I attempted it, it would not be pretty. Syn is the person i'm looking at the most, so I don't see a need to push it out right now. I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself with 2-3 cases in 8 hours so early in the game. it'll get here when it gets here.

about three hours later.

And the one case he did post was on a guy who was already under suspicion. His actions lead me to believe that he is in fact a scummy player trying to get out of posting promised cases because he does not want to be forced into a position of having strong reads at the beginning of the game as such he will retain my vote.

Hey all, sorry for my late start. I was at work when we began and passed out when I came home.

my gut feeling is that lvdr is playing too dumb to be scum but after Harry's stellar scum play in XXIII.O (hah, see what I did there) I have to leave him as a null to slightly scummy read.

I do have to say that Gonzaw considers drunk posting to be a town characteristic though it has been proven to be a scum one as well at least once (by me, XIX). That makes the drunk posts null in my eyes.

I'm doing my best to catch up read and re-read. I already have one crazy connection theory which is too dumb to post so good news on that front.

I really don't understand posting a town read this early and it feels somewhat scummy to me, optimal play is to post scum reads and cases to go with them, town reads come about by way of elimination or as a hard defense of someone on the chopping block who you feel is a townie. A town read a few hours into a day seems like a bad play from someone who has just proved themselves to be a good player, as such I cast a FoS upon Harry and a lesser one on lvdr for his abysmally shitty posting thus far. Shape up if you are town, if not feel free to keep on trucking as you are.

Dont be a tease you are among friends.

Also what do you think about lvdr making the statement about them either being both town or both scum specifically what do you think of that specefic comment.

Also i will be quite honest with you. From my previous interactions with you i thought coming into this game that you would be very active your tone has come across to me as wierd. Even though we were scum together in our previous game i still expected you to be a leading force among the town regardless. You came across to me as a very thoughtful player so im just take aback somewhat by your whole approach. Do you have a reason for this?


Seriously too dumb to talk about, it involves two flips. Here it is though. Sorry about the wild stupidity of it but you asked about the comment it came from.

I think that the comment
On August 09 2012 11:06 Lvdr wrote:
Both hapa and yh are mafia or both are town?

is seriously dumb (if lvdr is town, or if lvdr is scum and both yh and Hapa share an alignment), it assumes that townies are aware of each others alignments, if he had said masons or scum there might have been a townie thought behind the statement. My guess is that lvdr is trying to cover all the options but he could be town or scum doing that so that after one of the two flips he can say 'oooh I told you so, x was green/red so y must be as well' which, if lvdr is scum means that one of those two is scum and the other is town. Since this would have outed two members of the scum team on D1 I have a hard time believing this to be the case and it is a slight townie point in lvdr's favour.

I guess I'm playing worse as either alignment. I'm going to try to be more active and more thoughtful and provide good leadership for the town. It is my goal to be NK'd in this game, whether we win or lose I'll count getting NK'd as a victory in my own books. Also, seriously that was my first post getting into the game late so...no, I don't have a reason (unless we are talking about XXIII.O, in which case also no).

lvdr: I'd like to see your breakdown of YH's town read. It provides me with an understanding of your thought process which so far I don't have. I'd like to have an understanding of your case building and analytical skills.

I am suspicious of Dandel's play thus far:
He started by skating over the policy discussion, which is fair since we all just started a game together. He also suggests a silly policy lynch and doesn't give us a read or an opinion.

Okay, first post. Just had to post. Whatever.

But almost 24 hours later he comes back into the thread to say:

Given that the claim was retracted and YH (according to him) didn't know his alignment when he made the claim we cannot really draw any conclusions based on it. Any argument would be a WIFOM from YH's point of view, but even YH didn't know what his alignment was.

That's assuming he said the truth.
And you should never just assume that.


which is basic advice to a newb that we could all give. He hasn't given the thread anything and was so excited before hand. (Look at all of his posts between game 23a and 23b, I am forced to think that something changed and so his excitement died down, I read this as a scum tell and will be watching Dandel closely.


What is the deadline? I haven't figured out how much my work schedule is going to screw me this game

I'm going to continue to read the thread and try to find other things and people which I believe are suspicious. As you should all know by now I'm not a big fan of lynching lurkers. I think we should lynch scummy players, if the lurkyness of a player adds to their scummyness it should of course be included see my mini case on Dandel above.

We should make sure to lynch someone who seems scummy and we should make sure to get people to get their opinions out on the candidates early, we need more information earlier.

on that note: I didn't see anything in the OP about encryption, what are your rules on it? I don't want to break the game if you don't allow it.

Okay, first post. Just had to post. Whatever.

But almost 24 hours later he comes back into the thread to say:

I was writing a breakdown of Yh's town claim... then I read that it got retracted. So much for that.

Given that the claim was retracted and YH (according to him) didn't know his alignment when he made the claim we cannot really draw any conclusions based on it. Any argument would be a WIFOM from YH's point of view, but even YH didn't know what his alignment was.

That's assuming he said the truth.
And you should never just assume that.


which is basic advice to a newb that we could all give. He hasn't given the thread anything and was so excited before hand. (Look at all of his posts between game 23a and 23b, I am forced to think that something changed and so his excitement died down, I read this as a scum tell and will be watching Dandel closely.

Just to clarify this shit, "basic advice to a newb" is the point of this. It's called "Newbie Mafia", you know? I'd like for you to point out the exact syllable that's "scummy" about it.
Yeah, I'm lurking so far, I know I know. But so are goodkarma and Axero, Sideni (again) and Shady Sands (not even a single post since the start)
I'd like to know the reason why I'm so far above them, because I'm pretty sure you don't have one.

Between YourHarry being YourHarry, mkfuba attacking YourHarry for being YourHarry, Lvdr being lvdr, mkfuba attacking lvdr for being lvdr, and the new people doing blanket statements about policy, I was yet unable to find anything I felt I could post on. That's my reason.


Right, and we're all newbs so why give basci advice that you know when he surely knows it too? What was scummy was that you chose to say something so neutral after being gone for 24 hours. You left, came back and thought to yourself 'what would improve this thread? Ahh, basic advice'

You are scummier than them because SS hadn't posted, I don't know anything about Axero, GK had said somethings which had opinions in them (though not as many as I would like) and Sideni is the same as he was before as town. You are the one who was worth pointing out.

Okay seriously? You mentioned a quarter of the players in this game doing something which could be discussed and said you had nothing to discuss. What the fuck?

SS and Dandel: don't give me this shit. Discuss the game and the players, we essentially got a free meta test day with D1.0 so we are starting from a better position than we were in on the first day one. I, for one, see more from this day than the one before it.

Hapa: I'm glad you are here so that I'll have someone to talk to. Although given that you and I are both known for active scum play I won't be able to get reads out of your activity I look forward to getting reads from your play. What is your opinion of Dandel?

Imperfection: unless you are scum you are doing this wrong. I like you a lot but this play isn't good, if you wanted me to make a case well good I did, how did your opinion change? You wanted something from lvdr, YH, Mkfuba and half the other players in this game too. But you aren't changing your opinion after they post more. Why so free with your FoS? And why so restrained in taking it back? I'm all for a wide net but you need to use it right.

Nothing much to say on Dandel, as he still hasn't done anything. Like really - he's posted nothing of substance 24 hours into the day. I'm naturally suspicious of people who do not stick their neck out, but I have no grounds to FOS him or anything like that. For now, I'll stick with my suspicions against iamperfection that I recently posted.


fair enough, I disagree with you that there is nothing to read in his nothing posts but I see your point of view. Imperfection is a weird one for me since I played scum with him and his play feels scummy but not like his scum play in XIX obviously we're all new and our meta is still somewhat fluid. I have him in my scum column right now but there are people who have posted nothing or next to nothing who seem as scummy and I'd prefer to live the loud scum alive than the quiet one, people who talk a lot will talk themselves into a corner.

Shady: How did Axero make it onto your list? You gave reasons for lvdr being suspicious but not Axero. I don't like a name just being thrown in there without a case, it is good play for scum and bad for town. Give me and the rest of town an explanation for throwing his name in there, right now with just his name and no reasoning you are on my scummy list.

I guess I have to remove my FoS on Harry, he is just Harry. I'll keep my eye on him but I think that might just be my policy from now on: watch Harry.

I have to make it clear ... As I said in XXIII.O, I'm working from 5am to 1pm every day. From the time I go to bed and the time I come back from work (do not forget that I do have a life outside of the Internet. i.e. I went to a music school today to get lessons ! :D) there's a lot of time for people to post and you have to remember, I'm a slow reader

I want to make a clear statement, I work every day from 5am to 1pm EST.
I looked yesterday (Sunday) to see when was the game starting and it had not begun yet. So, I went to bed (when you work this early, you have to sleep xD)
I came back today from work, all pumped up about starting my first game of forum mafia (I've only played the one on StarCraft) and I saw that I had 7 pages to read of English (I'm a slow reader in French, just imagine in English xD)


I don't know if it's just that you forgot (I have to give it to you, it's from my first post in the game) or if you're trying to skip over that detail just to have one more name on your lurking list. =/
I have to tell you that it makes me a bit suspicious that you didn't know I was at work... However, I'm sure I'll forget (as you perhaps did) that Hapa is going on a trip for his marriage ! (Can't believe you fell for that trap(marriage) Hapa )




Regarding the case of mkfuba :

Honestly, I read through it and I felt it was a great case and you somehow convinced me a bit (enough to make Lvdr my number 1 suspect) ! The "Both hapa and yh are mafia or both are town?" got me ! Being town, I would only have written "Both Hapa and YH are mafia ?" or at least in a different order (town before mafia)...
However, I felt that it was kinda early to get a case going, not that it's a bad thing, but it's quite early.
An early case and an early vote, could be suspicious to my eyes, but I don't have anything to make a read from you !


At the same time of posting, I want to ask what means EBWOP :D
Also, note for @YourHarry : Hi there, nothing personal, it just highly irritates me to see, in your posts, "Hapha" instead of "Hapa" ... Could you please take care of that just for me ? :D It would be so kind of you :D

EBWOP = Edit By Way Of Post
Basically "edit:", just in another post, since you're not allowed to edit in mafia.

Shit I just explained something, sorry Promethelax, I'll never do it again


Damn, now I have to take a step back every time I think you are scummy and try to decide if it is just because you annoy the hell out of me with your attitude or if you actually appear scummy. Still leaning red.

I agree that iamperfection hasn't offered much of his own, but his play has really mirrored your own in terms of questioning many people.

@iamperfection - I encourage you to make a case of your own. While you have encouraged plenty of discussion, you haven't contributed a lot of your own analysis.

I aint going to fabricate a case just to defend myself.


Iamperfection feels very scummy here, he plays on the emotional side to avoid making a case. He has stated that my posting feels 'weird' to him but doesn't have a case to make. This feels like it has a scum motivation: creating pressure on a townie without backing it up with a case or a vote. This leaves him open to jumping on a bandwaggon or not; town doesn't need to be wishy washy.

Time to weigh in from the shadows:

I'm hesitant to level a FOS at anyone right now, but if i did level one it would be at lvdr. I found myself nodding when reading mkfuba's lengthy post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=24#462. The tenor of his posts (drunk or not) just strike of obfuscation more than anything else. But to excerpt a particularly cloudy question from lvdr:

"@everyone - What is the book on emotional players?" I don't understand what you mean by emotional players. Could you clarify? Also, are you saying that iamp an emotional player with that open-ended question? And does the book refer to how to handle them collectively?

When hapa brought me to task on my first post, I got emotional and felt under-the-gun. I saw the first bold text leveled in my general direction I made a flippant terse reactionary comment and clicked send. That was emotional play. After reading his next post, I took a deep breath and realized it wasn't an attack, just a note of confusion.

Basically, I'm just having trouble distinguishing in my mind what "emotional play" could be other than play without logic or thought behind it.

It seems that people are referencing behavior from Day .5 often and letting those past behaviors inform decisions. I have not read the first 19pages or so of back-and-forth, choosing rather to comb since the dawn of Day 1. Is it common practice for newcomers to read the null day's proceedings? I'll start going back to it if that's the case.

I had a little "Aha!" moment when Dandel wrote:

Once you flip green, it's just more evidence against them.


It makes perfect sense though. In case you all missed it, I'm a vanilla townie. I for one feared being "outed" by someone because of the time investment spent into the game, and the long-term commitment to reading and responding. If I'm outed and lynched as a townie I still get to read the following proceedings and see what happened as a result of my death. All of the fun popcorn action, and less of the stress and verbal riposte!


That's all for now, more later.


What was your aha moment? I don't get it from your post and I would love to know what you have learned, or think you have learned about our flowery friend.
As to the null day, there is no common practice in this sort of situation because there is not usually this situation. If I were you I would read day.5 though and learn everything you can. More information is good.

How does changing the order in any way change whether there was a scum tell or not? Whether I happened to say town or mafia first I think the suspicion would have been similar. Therefore, Sideni's addition reads as quite fluffy to me.


Oh, I thought it was obvious, so I guess I skipped on that point ... =/
Well, first, if you only say "Both Hapa and YH are mafia ?" you look like a real town player (you care for the right thing).
To illustrate myself, I'll have to use an example.

Let's say you have oranges and grapefruits in a bag and you can't see them.
Now, let's say you want an orange. You'll put your hand on one, you'll take it out (closing your eyes) and you'll ask the guy holding the bag : "Is this an orange ?"
because that's the orange you want

However, you asked : "Is this an orange or a grapefruit ?"
Someone wouldn't talk about the grapefruit at all...

Now, let's reverse the words : "Is this a grapefruit or an orange ?"
First, you would never ask about the grapefruit at all !

Hmmm nevermind, I don't have to keep going on my explanation, I just realized how dumb my logic was xD
I'm sorry to everybody for the confusion xD


Well, at least, the fact that you wouldn't usually ask for town is still right !

Bolded part and your analogy that doesn't go anywhere looks pretty scummy to me. There's basically no goal, direction or reason behind this, but you still feel the need to share it with us. You apologize for the confusion, but good town play, in my book, is trying to AVIOD confusion. Confusion, gray shades and everything inbetween just give scum openings for misinterpretations.

Please, in the bolded part you clearly showed that you have the theoretical ability to think your posts through, the only thing left is to actually do it.


Here Dandel says that the bolded part of Sadini's post both doesn't go anywhere/is scummy and shows the ability to think a post through...errrr what? Why blatantly contradict yourself? Setting yourself up to distance from a lynch?

Un-Fos Lvdr and iamperfection

I'm pretty satisfied with Lvdr's activity and defense so far. In addition, he's going after lurkers (Sideni) and is actively defending himself. I see enough similarities with his town play from the aborted game to give him the benefit of the doubt.

As for iamperfection, I think I'm falling victim to confirmation bias on him again. My case was based around his "going with the flow," and his questioning of Promethelax kinda destroys that bit of it. I'm satisfied enough with his activity to lay down my case.

However, I do find two players very suspicious at the moment:

FOS Axero and GoodKarma
Both players have been pretty lurky so far; Axero with 2 posts and GK with 3. Furthermore, neither has contributed anything significant to the discussion.

GoodKarma's three posts have only to do with disagreeing with the lurker policy. He hasn't done anything else while everyone in the town is actively discussing/throwing around suspicions. I find his lack of posting very unsettling.

Axero has two posts, one fluff/introductory post, and another that idly points suspicion:

On August 09 2012 14:22 Axero wrote:
That doesn't mean Hapa is a townie. Scum know who eachother are, therefore Hapa could know your alignment and could be setting you up to get lynched. It's a good way to shift focus to someone else while also seeming like a townie.

It is also possible that they are both scum. Setting someone up as a sacrifice to ensure everyone views the other as a townie would seem like a very effective strategy.

Just my two cents.

As I pointed out in the link above, his ideas are fairly illogical, and it reads to me like a useless-post designed only to point suspicion.


FOS Hapa

I've actually been pretty busy since the game started, but no I haven't made many posts. I'm sorting out my feelings on people and as this is my first game it's taking me some time to get used to it. However you are very quick to point to several people. The feeling I'm getting from you is that you're only being active to avoid suspicion. Seems like you're over doing it a little bit. Might be a snap reaction but it is how I feel at this point in the game.

an OMGUS FoS. This is scummy play and puts Axero in my red column. As soon as someone FoS'd him his reaction was not to improve his play or post something worthwhile but to cast doubt on that person. I'm not buying it.

As for your first criticism, those two statements I made were my response to YH, not actual suspicions against you, kind of just possibilities. But yes, at this point, it is my gut reaction to your actions.

This is all so bad I have a hard time seeing scum play or town in it, I guess it could be a newb scum trying to pass off as too dumb to scum or a townie who thinks this is good?? I'm just confused by Axero but after by read of YH as town last game due to his bad play (and the way it followed his meta perfectly) I have decided not to let people get away with play just because it is too bad for scum to do.

I want better play from Axero as we go, lets see how he improves over the next few pages


As to Dandel vs Sidini, I'm not going to quote posts there are too many, these two seem to be going after each other for no reason. A whole lot of back and forth with no real material. I think there are cases t be made on both of them (in fact cases have been made on both of them) but they are not contributing to the accusations against the other just essentially having a "you're scum" "no you!" back and forth. I have drawn some crazy connection theories from this that I am loathe to share but until one or the other flips I don't feel that their interaction with each other tells us much about either one.

So let me get this straight - your strategy going in to this game was to lurk until your name was mentioned, then FOS the guy who called you out for lurking?

Well hearing your "strategy" - you better have some damn good explanations for your play so far.


I'm getting echoes of Golbat from XXII. Similarly bad play D1, resulted in a lynch of the Vigi. Since it's a newbie game, I think we should be a little nicer on the guy. It might be better for all of us.


Shady's last post was at 6:04. Look to me like someone doesn't like being called a lurker. This is as scummy as Axero's above lurking if not mroe so. Axero was open with his dumb reasoning the real Slim shady over here has hidden his agenda (looking active) behind a town cred buy (obviously assuming that Axero is town, if he is mafia this is just a defense of a scumbuddy). Golbat didn't play the way Axero is playing this game, I'd say this is intentional misinformation trying to buy some town cred. Oh, Hapa mentioned this; I won't go into detail he already did.

YourHarry makes me a sad, sad man. Somethings don't make sense.

Some good discussion going. I also want to point out the lurkers in this game. If you are not going to be active, please replace out. Axero, if you are going too busy to invest considerable efforts in this game, please replace out. Goodkarma, put more thoughts into your post. And not having anything to add to the discussion is not an excuse. There are always rooms for contribution. Keep reading, repeatedly if needed, until you do.

I will be back in a bit to post my thoughts. Also would really like the moderator to allow speculation on who is being coached. As far as I am concerned, scums can lie about their coaching situation, so anything should go.

I don't see why I should have assumed you misread anything. I was unsure if it was my own inability to comprehend how you came to your conclusion or some mistake on your part that was causing me to not come to the same conclusion. In order to find out which was the case, I needed to verify that I was understanding your argument correctly and ask for a clarification of your evidence, because I didn't see any. I did note the possibility that you missed, or pretended to miss, the spoiler, but if you intentionally left it out then I wasn't giving you a "get out of false claim free" card. The way in which you explain and compensate for that mistake is information, just as much as the presence of the mistake itself.


OK. I don't think you noted the possibility that I missed the spoiler. This came after I revealed that I indeed missed something from Hapha's post. I want to know when you first asked me for the evidence, if it crossed your mind that I simply may have missed the spoiler or not.


As I said, if I had told you "I think you missed this spoiler" then your response could have simply been "Oh, I did miss that spoiler. Sorry about that!" I did that in the Prom case from last game.

In an attempt to get as much information flowing into the game as possible, I wanted to discover whether or not you intentionally "misread". I don't know why you would, but that doesn't mean that you don't have a reason to do so.

When I asked for evidence from you, my three options were (not in a particular order):
1. I was misunderstanding the post
2. You were intentionally misrepresenting the post
3. You made a mistake in the post

If I misunderstood the post, you would clarify it. If you made a mistake, you would either find the mistake immediately or try to clarify it. If you intentionally misrepresented the post, you would almost definitely notice your "mistake" right away. Since you then clarified it and I had not actually misunderstood the post, I feel confident in saying that you simply made a mistake and there was nothing malicious behind it.

So you were testing me? I accept the logic behind not clarifying right away. It was a superior move, than to simply point out the spoiler that I missed. You could have possibly caught the scum this way.

But the thing is: I don't believe you. If you are town, given the context of our posts, your primary goal should have been to determine if my clearance of Hapa as town is merit worthy. And this goal is apparent in your post. And yes, it is possible that in addition to your trying to determine whether Hapa is indeed town, that you were also testing me. But wouldn't you say it is too unnatural and methodical to be a simple townie wanting a clarification?

Instead, it could be that your post was based on your scum motive to fit as a townie (and possibly to frame me based on according to my response). And your perfectly logical explanation behind your actions was custom designed only in afterthought. (I admit. I have no meta evidence to support this. I do not know how you play as town. I could simply be wrong in not giving you enough credit. But having played on the same scum team with you, I do know that scum mkfuba is capable of framing logical reasons around his earlier actions.

More of the same, bolded for emphasis:

Now, take Lvdr's last quote: "More plausible than yh then?" In context, Lvdr was simply asking Hapha for his opinions on who he thinks is scummier, me or Lvdr. If Lvdr indeed thought that Hapha and I were scums together, I can imagine Lvdr's intention to confirm this read based on Hapha's response. And, mkfuba, by your putative "scum motivation" do you mean Lvdr is actively trying to confuse town by posting incoherent one liners? If so, I find it hard to imagine scums methodically engineering incoherent one liners to confuse town.

I've already addressed this in my previous post, but I felt like that was already answered by Hapa. After considering it, I will definitely admit that I made some assumptions about Hapa which carried over into my read on Lvdr. I made an assumption that Hapa would not be suspicious of you, as you hadn't done anything overtly suspicious up to that point, and from what little I know of him from the last two days he doesn't cry scum without a reason. I then assumed that Lvdr would come to the same conclusion. This was a mistake and you can infer from it what you will, but it doesn't hurt my overall read.


Your claim that you made these assumptions (which you claim you made when you initially found Lvdr suspicious), again, appear to be something you fictionalized to explain your earlier actions. None of these assumptions are actually mentioned in your initial case against Lvdr.

##Vote mkfuba





voting him again seven hours later. Wat?

@ Hapa

It's a fast paced game. I'm still excited to play, even if you can't see it in my posts. Learning as I go.


Fluff:
(Congrats on the wedding btw)

GODDAMMIT! I already said this to Sedini and he mentioned it again. It is in the thread THREE times! Hapa isn't getting married. I hate people who don't read. And people who say they'll post cases and don't and people who FoS based on OMGUS. Each of those in turn is not a scum tell but all together I find it scummy.

Sedini's case on Dandel is awful. I still think the guy seems scummy but after that case I would prefer to vote for Sideni. His follow-up unvote and vote switch as soon as the pressure hit gives me a scum vibe and for now

## Vote: Sideni
I also have my eye on Axero and Dandel
Followed to a lesser extent by Shady and lvdr
YH continues inscrutable.

How does changing the order in any way change whether there was a scum tell or not? Whether I happened to say town or mafia first I think the suspicion would have been similar. Therefore, Sideni's addition reads as quite fluffy to me.


Oh, I thought it was obvious, so I guess I skipped on that point ... =/
Well, first, if you only say "Both Hapa and YH are mafia ?" you look like a real town player (you care for the right thing).
To illustrate myself, I'll have to use an example.

Let's say you have oranges and grapefruits in a bag and you can't see them.
Now, let's say you want an orange. You'll put your hand on one, you'll take it out (closing your eyes) and you'll ask the guy holding the bag : "Is this an orange ?"
because that's the orange you want

However, you asked : "Is this an orange or a grapefruit ?"
Someone wouldn't talk about the grapefruit at all...

Now, let's reverse the words : "Is this a grapefruit or an orange ?"
First, you would never ask about the grapefruit at all !

Hmmm nevermind, I don't have to keep going on my explanation, I just realized how dumb my logic was xD
I'm sorry to everybody for the confusion xD


Well, at least, the fact that you wouldn't usually ask for town is still right !

Bolded part and your analogy that doesn't go anywhere looks pretty scummy to me. There's basically no goal, direction or reason behind this, but you still feel the need to share it with us. You apologize for the confusion, but good town play, in my book, is trying to AVIOD confusion. Confusion, gray shades and everything inbetween just give scum openings for misinterpretations.

Please, in the bolded part you clearly showed that you have the theoretical ability to think your posts through, the only thing left is to actually do it.


Here Dandel says that the bolded part of Sadini's post both doesn't go anywhere/is scummy and shows the ability to think a post through...errrr what? Why blatantly contradict yourself? Setting yourself up to distance from a lynch?

Please read it properly. He has the THEORETICAL ability to think his posts through, he just doesn't do it.
He posts something, and says its bullshit right after, in the same post.
That means he should know he should delete it in the first place, but he doesn't make the connection to actually do it.

I don't know why you still go on about this, I've explain all this already.
I get the feeling you have a personal grudge against for some unfathomable reason. You accuse me of lurking, then you lurk the shit out of the thread.

You say I argue with Sideni for too long - I agree on that, but as soon as I try to stop, Hapahauli jumps up and yells at me for being "shitty" for not arguing any more.


I have a question for you:
If Sideni gets lynched, what information will you get out of the flip, and how will it reflect on me?


Well that would depend on his flip. What do you want me to say? If he is scum you are probably scum trying to distance yourself from him with these big arguments with nothing in them. If he is town you are either town or scum, I'll make that decision base don your play. It might be a slight point in the favour of town for you. That is what I would take from his flip.

To be honest, I'm shocked at how little attention that Axero is getting. He's laying low and has demonstrated some clear anti-town behavior. Some players have mentioned having suspicions of him, but no one has so much as FOS'd him.

Go with me a bit here:
If Axero was town, wouldn't he be a REALLY EASY MISLYNCH FOR MAFIA? Why has NO ONE voted for him? I'm inclined to think that his mafia buddies are covering for him!

Since you are the only one with a case on the guy no, I don't think he would be an easy mislynch. I agree with your case and I find his play scummy, I'd even be willing to vote him to avoid a no lynch. I don't think he would be any easier a mislynch than half the people in this game, you just have the confirmation bias of feeling your case on him is incredibly strong. It has valid points but it isn't a 100% thing.

Mkfuba isn't here and I don't like it. But why only push him? There are a tonne of lurkers this game. Why are you tunneling one when Shady has been an active lurker, Kronen has barely posted, GK is "the champion lurker"

Why focus on just one of them?

3) Context tends to help.

I'm pretty sure we get at least 1 scum with that.

Alright, I'm confused ...
I feel like I've been wrong the whole day even if I feel like being in iamperfection's shoes in day 0.5 ... (remember he was on YH's case and YH turned out to be mafia even if iamperfection was the most suspicious of all)
The fact that you propose to lynch Lvdr first makes me really confused =/
I don't know if you planned that answer from me, but I feel like my case doesn't stand anymore since you want Lvdr to go down first ... If he turns out to be mafia, you know that you die on Day 2.

Why isn't your case on lvdr valid anymore? I can't figure out how to word this right but essentially is that quote alone enough to make him more suspicious for you?

Well I'm shocked that lynched worked out for us, well done. I would not have joined in that late vote switch, it just seemed too crazy on too little evidence.

Well done! We're down one mafia at no real loss to us (sorry Axero).

I don't think we have any confirmed townies from this. Scum d1 bus and look at yourselves, everyone has all these 'confirmed' town reads and if there is even one scum in that group (which lets play the numbers game, there almost 100% is) this was an excellent pay by scum. Instead of a mislynch they sacrificed one of their own (probably the least active) and got mad town cred.

The guy who stands out to me as having the most to gain from this is, hold on to your hats, Hapa think about this. Hapa has been very active but not provided a lot of analysis, he gives us 'gut feelings' about who scum are. His gut feeling has been 'proven' right once. Now he is confirmed townie in the eyes of most of town. I don't see it to be honest, his posting has been similar to his scum play in XXI and his gut feeling throw me off totally. Hapa is my biggest scum read at the moment.

I would put the second scum between Dandel and Shady: Dandel says that he can't comment on his feelings on me

Possible Lynch Tarets

GoodKarma - hasn't stuck his neck out, has played semi-lurky, and has tunneled suspicion on Axero and Sideni. It's his lack of involvement in this game that I find strange. Townies are naturally suspicious of several people and constantly switch suspicions (unless emotional). GoodKarma has played suspiciously "clean," and I think he could be mafia tunneling suspicion on two easy targets.

Axero - his "ragequit" gives me a slight townie read, but I find his other behavior suspicious. I've made my views clear.

Promethelax - Comes in, points a lot of fingers, picks a fight with Dandel Ion, then leaves. Call it a gut feeling, but I find his behavior strange.

I don't think i can comment on Promethelax, I'm rather angry at him after all. I certainly wouldn't miss him, but a mislynch is a mislynch, and I don't feel like I can gauge if he's scum or not.[/b[ I'd be happy to bus him though.

Axero was never that strong a scum read to me - though you can never be sure. I have stated previously that I think you are biased against him, Hapa.
I'd rather lynch him, than have a no-lynch, but he's not my priority.

Goodkarma would be your "safe" pick for a lynch. He didn't post anything scummy in itself, but then again, he didn't post in the first place.
Might be our best chance


until he is asked about it, when I am his biggest scum read. I hadn't psoted at all between these two posts. So what changed? I'd say that Dandel realized that there was some town sentiment against me and it was safe to make his move.



Promethelax
My #1 scum read at the moment.

[spoiler]Some meta to start it off: In game 0.5 he opened the game by posting this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=10#190
My highlight out of there is:
My strengths in mafia games are my ability to build strong cases and to post in an active and pro-town manner.
He has not done any of that this game. Spoilered because it's not really an argument[/spoiler]

On to the real case:
1) He accused me on being scum on my SECOND post in the thread. on the basis of "lurking" not fitting my "meta". Nevermind the fact that day/night posts are at 1 AM for me. 75% of my "lurking" time, I've just been sleeping. Whatever, he might just be PMS'ing. I conceded that I didn't post shit yet [spoiler](as an european I'm pretty used to NA people forgetting about timezones and shit)[/spoiler] and thought he'd let it rest. NOPE
next: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=25#498 Roundhouse kicking a few people. Wouldn't be too bad, but what stands out is that while berateing people for not commenting on what happened so far, he didn't actually comment on any of that either - he just picks 4-5 people and casts general suspicion everywhere. Asks iamperfection why he's so free with his FoS, when the first thing he did himself is FoS'ing YourHarry and lvdr IN HIS FIRST POST, without any good reason.

Some posts questioning and passively accusing people inbetween.

Then he finally takes it on his shoulders to try and contribute: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=32#624
What stands out first is how long the post is. What stands out right after that is how he says NOTHING with it. He casts general suspicion everywhere he can (I'm seeing a pattern).
In just this one post calls scummy: Sideni (good-as-confirmed town), Axero (flipped town), me (am town), lvdr (strong town read) iamperfection (decent town read) and YourHarry (town-ish, as I stated above)
All his reads are weak as hell, even back then, and outright silly now. I personally interpret his Sideni vote as trying to get the mislynch train rolling

He then has a shitton of oneliners/no-content posts. Whenever possible, he also tries his best to insult me, which is kinda weird, for scum to openly antagonize people, but whatever.

Doesn't even try to think about the Sideni situation, leaving his vote on him. By that time even I, one of the biggest pushers for a Sideni lynch, didn't think Sideni was scum anymore. He even insults me (nothing new in itself) for jumping off the Sideni train in time.


I see no town motivations ANYWHERE in Promethelax' play.
Verdict: SCUM




Those are my thoughts on people as it stands right now, tell me if i missed anything/if you don't follow my logic anywhere.


Shady because of his whole play:
The most damning thing though is that he comes into the thread during the GK lynch and tries to deflect the suspicion onto lvdr. Shady says:

Sideni and Lvdr are BAAAD townies! GoodKarma has not stuck his neck out, has tunneled suspicion on Axero and Sideni (easy targets), he hasn't made an original case or provided original analysis, and his play has been waaaaay too clean so far - Day 1 has been INSANE, there's no way people should be this clean!


Wait you guys are doing a last minute pile on GoodKarma because his play is too clean? What?

at a time when having a single person not vote for GK would have lead to a mislynch. I would have been convinced not to vote for GK with that, in fact I don't think I would have voted him at all but I think this was a play to get anyone off of the wagon.

So for now: Scum reads are Hapa, Dandel and Shady

Town reads are: suck it scum, you won't get extra information out of me

After everyone FoSing or voting me I assume I'll live through the night. Thanks I guess.

I'll save mkfuba for the day cycle, we'll see how it goes.

I think YH is null, I honestly can't read him at all.

Kronen is somewhat townie to me. His posting has been pretty pro-town doing all the leg work even if he doesn't know how to do the analysis.

Shady I still think is scummy with Hapa and Dandel.

No town reads because you don't want to give scum information they already have?

Lastly, respond to this or I'll vote you the second D2 starts:

@ Kronen, mkfuba, YourHarry, Promethelax, and ShadySands - I want to hear your thoughts on the other 4 players before the night is over. No exceptions.

TOWN, make sure you hold each and every person on this list accountable for the above!

Are you actually retarded? I didn't want to put my town reads into the thread since mafia knows who is town but no who I think is town. Herp derp.

@Prome: Please answer these questions regarding Hapa busing.

1. Why was the godfather bused instead of a goon?
2. Why was the strategy to bus instead of taking out Sideni/Axero with a easily disguiseable mislynch?


I don;t think the role is as important as the player. GK was lurking if the other two mafia are active they would be better to keep around for the end game.

Look at all these 'confirmed townies' seems like a good strategy to me.

So humor me Promethelax - How does me bussing GK make sense? Why would I bus the godfather who had zero suspicion on him? Also, why on earth would GK consent to getting bussed given the lack of suspicion on him.

If you can answer these questions coherently, I'll take you seriously.



Sorry I have been less active. I honestly hate the way Hapa plays and don't have fun playing with him.

I'll keep this short.

1)You would bus the GF to put yourself and your scumbuddy in a 'confirmed town role' this is ballsy play that I would not be surprised to see from you. Although I find your style abrasive and annoying I don't think you are an idiot and I do think you could make this strategy as scum.

2)Who said he would consent? If you just did it on an impulse or talked about it in the QT and he said no you could still go through with it. Obviously it isn't playing against your win-con. Or you convinced him that it would allow scum to win since the goal as scum is to get their team to win not to live to the end of the game as an individual. If an early sacrifice could get his team an easy victory I'm sure GK would be into it.

3) I am the medic. I saved Mkfuba last night, he was the guy in your 'unconfirmed townie' group I had the strongest town read on. I wanted to save the guy who seemed most likely townie and I just couldn't bring myself to save a 'confirmed townie' as you would have no reason to kill one of them while they were all sheeping you.
