I was going to wait for GMarshal's game until I saw slOosh. We always have the most interesting games together

Oh my dear friend it has been quite a while. Hopefully we will recreate game #1 rather than #2 or #3 ... I think #4 was good until we both got shot N1/N2. Actually if #4 happens we can just join GM's next one so all is good and well

Hey guys, didn't anticipate the early deadline so yea ...

Anyways, any of the blue roles can be used to the "innocent child" effect. Scum are extremely limited in their ability to fakeclaim because it is a blue-wise open setup (we might not know the 2nd blue identity but we can still cc any blue claim instantly). I recommend whoever is blue to consider this and not hastily throw away a potential advantage here by claiming early (mainly tracker but same thing extends to watcher/cop).

No go on double lynch. Too exploitable / volatile in a game this small.

I actually disagree that talking policy early on is bad. It is only bad when the policy talk tells scum how to get off free. "We will only lynch active players" tells scum that they can get one or two players to the late-game with as little content to hold against them as possible. On a similar note, it's probably not a good idea to discuss your heuristics for finding scum until you find examples of them in people's play. If you start talking about them right now, unless you list 173 of them, scum probably will actively avoid fitting your heuristic, thus ruining your chance of finding scum.

Wow, Forumite's accusation came much earlier than I expected. All Shiao had done was come out as anti-policy, and then when pressed came out against lying and lurking. What in that is scummy, I have no idea. I think its clear that Forumite has some type of plan hatching, but until we find out what the plan is, his early accusation is sort of weightless. It could be an attempt to draw scum out or to force townie mistakes in order to mislynch.

Hey Mordanis, could you explain this contradiction? If this was an attempt to draw scum out, you have now just alerted them all with the second post, which goes against what you said in the first post. You said you are currently null on Forumite yet it seems like you are leaning a certain direction in your read of him.

Read sciberbia's case and it's pretty good - there are some clear inconsistencies in Forumite's play, and he does seem to be "taking the temperature" of the thread according to player sentiments. I'd disagree with some of your interpretations of said players' intentions but it doesn't change the fact of Forumite's reactionary play. It could possibly be a result of lowered confidence in play due to a period of inactivity, so I'll be waiting to see how he responds to it.

I do, however, have a question with one of your prior posts:

I agree with Forumite that this post seems off. Shiaopi is no vet, yet he starts off the thread with this bravado, confidence, and authority. It just doesn't seem to fit with the more reserved Shiaopi I remember from NMM XIV. I see this post as a conscious attempt to look bold, which fits in more with scum goals than town goals.

Here you take issue with the same post that your case on Forumite is based off. What are your current thoughts on ShiaoPi, and how do they play in relation with Forumite?

Yay, prplhz!

ShiaoPi looks like scum, just read the few introposts.


don't be insidious, explain why you find them scummy or shut up about it.

Marvel, could you explain this? I had an early scumread and said so a few times, definetly not spamming the thread about it. I also said I preferred to keep the reason to myself for the moment. What was wrong about that? Why did you want me to either reveal evidence early D1 or stop with light pressure on a random townie?

Because when you said the same thing to me in Movie Mafia (?), I never responded but just took it to note, thinking oh what I'm doing is being perceived as scummy better go about it a better way, and I did that as a townie. I agree it's strange but I don't see how it is an alignment indicative strange.

But on that note now I find Forumite guilty of the exact reverse: the next time he mentions a scum (?) read:

Clarification about my opinion of Mordanis
Big posts but very few, talking about me, possible VT-claim and policy, with a lot of fluff. Overall lots of text but next to no content, which looks bad. His post about "funnily enough" asking CL feels off somehow. Mordanis needs to shape up, or at least post more.

I'm anxiosly awaiting the time when CL gets back.

He doesn't actually call Mordanis scum. He critiques his play in every way, but concludes with a "needs to shape up". A totally unnecessary bye for him, and moving onto waiting for CL. And he doesn't address scib's case against him but merely comments to me - either you see it as a townie pushing for your mislynch and you want that cleared up, or you think it's a scum push and you prove to everyone about it - dismissing it is a scum reaction. I think Forumite is a good D1 lynch.

##Vote: Forumite
I also request that people start casting votes earlier if possible. The (for me) morning deadline is hard to be around and I want to be able to make the best decision prior. Plurality lynches are dangerous if we don't consolidate since scum votes have more sway in who they want to lynch, and I don't want my vote wasted.

yeah - why would he bring it up with me again? It just goes to highlight the whole thing. What do you think?

Like I said, it is strange but I don't find it a strong alignment indicative strange. It could be a town action trying to come to mutual understanding with another player, or it could be scum action fearful of repercussions if left unsaid and so addressing it early. I mentioned how I chose to internally take the advice (if I recall correctly), but scum could also do that in fear of being exposed. In either case I don't find it weighty enough to override my read on his general play.

I find it very alarming that general consensus of town seems to be lynch prplhz, not because he looks particularly townish but because the same group of people have not even talked about scib's case against Forumite, nor are pushing an alternative such as Shiaopi or Mordanis in earnest.

In particular our votes are split pretty evenly which is worst case scenario. We should look at consolidation with what we have now - D1 lynch matters people. I'll be catching up on thread reviewing the other cases, but unless people are finding issue with the case on Forumite I urge you to consolidate.

Why are you so unwilling to name names and call out people?

I have limited time and going through the thread to make a list isn't a productive use of my time. Why are you so intent on drawing discussion away from him again?

Sort of caught up on the Mordanis thing.

I'm finding general inconsistency in his posting, almost like he is making stuff up as he goes along. Explanations seem more convoluted than the situation calls for.

Furthermore, he is also of the party that has not talked about the scib's case, and by his tone it seems he is null / town on Forumite, which would warrant defense of him yet he doesn't do that, i.e. doesn't care who gets lynched.

Only thing I'm iffy on is the of the case against him runs directly counter to the case on Forumite and people's general excuses and hesitation to speak on the matter. I feel much more comfortable with a Forumite lynch.

Right I'm getting kicked out of the cafe (where I get my internets) so this will probably be last post of the night unless my new apartment internet finally starts working.

Everyone should say something about Forumite. Votes should accompany whatever stance you take. Additionally, votes should start consolidating.

I've been reviewing D1 in light of the flip. It was pretty difficult in consolidating as many people had aversion to it for reasons that weren't "he looks like town", and would think that scum would have been more eager to jump on an easy mislynch spearheaded by townies like that but instead chose instead to split up votes among several candidates.

Which leads me to look into the prplhz lynch group based on that heuristic of being fearful of getting caught on a mislynch, where I find some independent agreement with my analysis. This will probably serve as my deadline post as I am not confident in my ability to wake up early.

marvellosity:
General wishy-washyness on D1 lynch
I find marv to be extremely laid back / on the fence this game. He was pretty on the fence about Forumite and I thought it could have been reasonable town confusion / indecision. However as CL has pointed out, as he invites people to discuss the case he then quickly follows up with a case and vote on CL.

It doesn't matter if he was truly ninja'd or not. His train of thought doesn't align - he is confused about Forumite and wants more discussion, which is totally fine, but then he follows with a case and vote on CL.

He calls CL his strongest read. However he doesn't push that for a lynch despite being uncertain about Forumite. Looks like he wants to be seen as involved with the case but doesn't quite take a stance, nor pushes something which is more certain to him.

Discrediting Mordanis while calling him town
There is also the issue with the way he pressures:

Long story short, its either the worst "scum-tell" in history or a pressure vote. First off, lurking/inactivity is a really bad scum-tell. One prominent example comes to mind+ Show Spoiler +
Mufaa/Skware in NMM 14, where one player was replaced because he didn't post at all in a cycle or two, and his replacement posted a total of like 4 times in 4 cycles, and 3 of them were in the first cycle he replaced into. He literally didn't post for at least 2 cycles and missed at least 2 votes, and he was town.
Even if this isn't meant as anti-lurker, looking for players who "don't care about town" doesn't make any sense at all. It's saying that he wants to lynch people for low town standing.

this is so frighteningly bad I can't believe it.

carry on mordanis.

The game I remember him winning as scum he basically blended into the woodwork. Taking me on doesn't seem like the kind of risk or play he'd make as scum I don't think.

Notice the subtle contradiction. He is content calling Mordanis town, but is willing to openly call him bad as to discredit anything he has said / will say. This is treatment usually reserved for scum if done at all, yet this is what marv does.

All in all I find marv to be scummiest out of the bunch. I'll be here for lil bit (cafe closes in ~15 minutes), and then probably try to squeeze in some posting around lunch time tomorrow. Internet problem should be fixed by the weekend though if I live that long.

Could you explain how this is scummy? Because if you can't it means your read on HiroPro is entirely based off prplhz's unknown alignment.

His play fits the way he played as town in NMM XXII so far. However, his lack of scumhunting is kind of bothering me, because even despite the verbosity and the absurb "discussion" case to start the game, he still had a reasonable case (or two?) before day 1 deadline. He did end up having good reads in that game though, once you waded through all the verbosity, so hopefully he gets some cases out soon.

What's your opinion on Mordanis in light of his marv case? Also Shiaopi in general.


Catching up on DYH's case.

Mmm ...

I think scum are quite unlikely to pull off a double lynch hammer ever since it is a 1 for 1 trade (cause it assumes you can get a mislynch without it) ... but DYH is definitely correct that giving lynch decision to your scum read makes absolutely no sense and is shirking responsibility.

Shiaopi what do you make of the Mordanis - CL issue?

That said, I'm not comfortable with the overwhelming anti-CL sentiment in the thread right now. There are several things in his filter that suggest to me that he is townie. But before I try to dissuade anyone from voting him today, I'd like to see his response to DYH's case.

I think it would be good if you brought them out.

I'm wavering on him because his end of N1 reads included HiroPro, whom I have also had suspicions on but not yet voiced. He did it before people started to openly express that suspicion, indicating that it was probably not a temperature gauge of picking who the town thinks is scummy and going after them.

@CL - Could you clarify what exactly you found suspicious in HiroPro's posting? I want to see if your train of thought is similar to mine or if you just took a stab in the dark and got lucky.

Yea that's the basic feel I got from him too ... but your quote on HiroPro brought up something.

To everyone who is dismissing Mordanis' suspicious play solely because his posting looks like that regardless of his alignment, how are we going to catch him as scum?

For instance,
On August 11 2012 00:04 HiroPro wrote:
Mordanis is probably town. His early case on ShiaoPi was not good at all and his posting style annoys me but I feel that he's legitametly sharing his thoughts and honestly I have a hard time believing that any scum team would let Mordanis post that ShiaoPi case.

I looked up Mordanis' scum play in Newbie Mafia XIV and in the scumQT he never ran anything by for double check analysis. It turns out I also happened to spec the game (guess I just forgot that I did), and from what I recall, he wasn't someone who had an inherently difficult to understand playstyle. This is a totally unwarranted excuse to call Mordanis and alleviate suspicions on him.


sciberbia could I get your thoughts on CL soon? I'm wondering if this is indeed a misdirection away from Mordanis onto an easy lynch or if CL was caught doing something scummy and is backpedalling.

To everyone who defended Mordanis on meta, could you please re-clarify how he is town?

I have a huge problem with this - it's essentially lynching for information. We either lynch HiroPro because he looks scummy regardless of prplhz or we lynch prplhz because he looks scummy regardless of HiroPro. Suggesting a pair of lynches like that in a specific order is extremely dangerous.

@slOosh
I just gave my thoughts on CL, and I think now would be a good time for you to clearly state your opinion of him.

I've looked over your post and reread filters and what is still left unaddressed with CL is this - he has dropped his HiroPro read in favor of the prplhz lynch, which was one of the big town cards in my mind. Words are easy - votes and lynches are where you put your money where your mouth is. He hasn't done this.

I find HiroPro more scummier than CL and would vote him but I do not wish to cause an accidental double lynch. I'll be on for another hour or two if people are willing to swap from CL to HiroPro. If people are opposed or we don't have enough time I'm fine with lurker lynching prplhz.

If prplhz is town
why would scum HiroPro make a dubious voteswitch just to lynch one townie over another townie? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

If prplhz is scum
Obviously, the vote switch is very sketchy if prplhz is scum.

Do you think this reasoning is valid? Do you think it therefore makes sense to lynch prplhz before HiroPro?

Ah nevermind I'm tired and not as focused as I usually am.

I think HiroPro is suspicious for reasons other than his voteswitch was why the last statement looked so off.

Yes I'd be interested to hear your other reasons on HiroPro.

My only real beef with him apart from his vote switch and his lurking is how he goes from saying nothing at all about CL from confidently asserting that CL is scum based on 1 post. And he appeals to 'vet knowledge' in his case against CL, which I think is scummy.

I think it only makes any sense to lynch HiroPro today if you think it is quite possible that HiroPro is scum but that prplhz is town. Do you think this is likely? Do you really see HiroPro making that vote switch in this scenario?

I think it was TL Mafia LIV where town was split between two mislynches, and Risen (scum) switched from one townie to another, much similar to the situation we have here. What ended up happening was that everyone started thinking like you are right now, saying "no way scum would bother doing that", and for that no one suspected him. I'm not saying that HiroPro is scum and prplhz is town - please don't insinuate that I am. I'm saying the possibility is there and pidgeon-holing our mentality like that can really backfire.

My reasons on HiroPro is general feel of his tone and approach. I played with him in PYP: Poison where I he was much more straight forward and clear, and on several occasions this game I find him to do the opposite. So a combination of meta and what I would call indecisiveness (not taking hard stances but willing to cast suspicions no problem).

You beat me to the punch there and pretty much said most of what I wanted to.

Mordanis changed his stance on me very quickly once Scib defended me and it was pretty clear that my lynch was not going to go through. A complete turn around from his previous opinions on my alignment.

Also, since HiroPro is indisposed (and is more than likely a scum member), we know there is only one scum member active. Scib was the first (and really only) person to step up and make a case in my defense. He is now dead because of this. Mord is the only active player left who I have been consistently targeting, calling him out as the remaining scum member.
##vote Mordanis

OK this is the 2nd time you have tried to interpret the night kill in a favorable way to yourself. First time with marv was WIFOMish - perhaps an innocent mistake. However in this case, it is clear from sciberbia's filter that he was leaning town on Mordanis as well. With his kill you assert that the NK is scum killing your defender and pushing for your mislynch, when scib could also have defended Mordanis should his lynch appear. Why is this?

Yes your vote was before the case, does not change the fact that you were on the fence about it only as long as you were not the only one doing pressure.
What are you talking about? DYH posted his case after Mordanis' vote, and so how does "piling onto CL" make sense if he did it before? (I doubt you are insinuating DYH is scum as well).

It's really looking like Mordanis is a suspicious looking towny that's being set-up. Shiaopi is flat out going in with the mentality that Mordanis is scum and nitpicking his filter.

@DYH: My cases look nicer in other games simply because there is more content to work with. In a slow game like this there is less to work with. My case is solid regardless of how big / small it is.

Reading up on the risk.nuke thing, didn't notice the timing of the vote switch. With his D1 vote do you think he anticipated a Forumite lynch?

See, I'm not sure. This is what's confusing me. It would have been rather ballsy to sit on prplhz even in the face of a D1 scum lynch.

Well the fact was that a prplhz was very possible D1 and that only near the end did people sway off. It could have been that he anticipated a prplhz lynch ...

Ok yea that makes sense. Reread the context and here's what I got:

Vote Count

prplhz (5): DoYouHas, Marvellosity, HiroPro, Forumite, Keirathi
Forumite (3): Sciberbia, slOosh, prplhz
Mordanis (2): ShiaoPi, Custos Luna

prplhz is currently set to be lynched.



The deadline is in ~9.75 hours at Thursday, Aug 09 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). The person with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.

Following this is a throwaway vote on marv by Mordanis, then risk's vote. I think he voted anticipating prplhz's lynch.

Which reminds me we should start casting votes to prevent any last-minute switches. I would have liked to discussed ShiaoPi but it seems like he went afk and we might not have time to switch over. risk is looking more and more a good alternative.

Gah sorry guys, overslept and was late for my presentation.

Double lynch will not work because to do it we need a split of 2-2 on the two scum, which requires co-operation of scum since there are only three of us townies, let alone the danger of if we lynch scum and town, where the scum can just last minute switch so only town dies. We need to consolidate early on one scum target - thinking ahead in this scenario is very dangerous.


The scum we need to lynch today is ShiaoPi.

Vote Analysis:
D1:

Reading through the latest points of scib got me convinced that Forumite might actually be scum. Coupled with Mord actually starting to make sense, when I look at it from his point of view (no offense ) and my discomfort with a prphlz lynch I expressed above, I will change my vote to Forumite. Since my vote on Mord achieved some success in getting him to post more sensible and it probably won't get any traction looking at it in 3 hours to deadline.

##unvote
##Vote: Forumite

Toward the end of D1 ShiaoPi puts his vote straight onto Forumite's mislynch after prplhz posts his "defense" and town starts swaying. See how the first bold line supports and encourages people to move their votes away from prplhz. But who is he switching onto? The second bold line shows how he says he is convinced that Forumite might be scum. It's very safe and distancing himself when Forumite flipped town. Also note how he says Mord makes sense - I'll address it later but we can see the start of how he is on the fence with Mord and only goes after him when CL starts to.

D2:
ShiaoPi was unable to access internet the whole cycle for a legitimate reason. Unfortunate because he posts 1 hour before deadline when prplhz is already set up to be lynched, and furthermore because his last post before this one prplhz was just another name in a list of equally slightly suspicious people (amongst Mordanis and HiroPro)

Mord:
I believe my stance on him is quite clear from my filter. What I really do not understand is, while he is kind of right to place some distrust on marv his vote seems like such a throwaway especially with him being absent right after. But in regards to his voteswitch he delievers explanation and he makes sense with it. Also I think his play got a tad better since I called him out. I guess wait and see has to be the course of action on him. If he does some (wholly) decent case not like the against me or parts of the one against Marv I could see him as town, but until then no.

Custos:
I liked his play a lot (maybe biased because he was agreeing with me), he is also taking clear stances, trying to convince people of his opinions and as a bonus also did not doublelynch when he had the possibility (that would have been suicidal as scum though if both flipped town, so it might not matter that much.)

Conclusively I want to keep an eye open on prphlz and Mordanis, while I want Hiro to answer my question before I judge him.
as a heads-up I won't have too much time tomorrow and might not make it back before the deadline, will try though. Crashing out now at later than 1 AM. Night!

We see here that ShiaoPi is ok with Mordanis, and putting him on the sidelines. Also notable is that this is where he buddies up to Custos when Custos was not in any danger of being lynched D1. Scum like to buddy town so they aren't suspected.


Post analysis:
I've already pointed out a HUGE contradiction in ShiaoPi's play - that he went in with the mentality that Mordanis is scum and nitpicked his filter for information to incriminate him. This is something only scum do - townies look at information first and then make a conclusion. Since scum already know alignments, they can only pretend to do this, but here he messes up setting up the mislynch and shows how he is just looking for information.

That's what happens if you miss Day2 almost completely. Those were statements from Day 1, where I thought it might have been possible that he really is just busy. Following Day 2 he still did nothing and if I had been present I would have stated my change of stance on him much earlier, can't do that though without bending time so yeah take this explanation or keep hammering me.

Although it looks like Mord will live another day, I am fine with a risk lynch.

Have to ask though, if risk flips town and Hiro as well, what are your reads?

Now if you read the earlier parts of my case, you would know by now that ShiaoPi thought Mordanis' D1 play was OK! That it was looking better! There are two glaring contradictions here. One is that he is falsifying information to push a case. The second is that the logic he uses to push Mordanis is in fact things that he himself are guilty of. If you read his D1 stance and his D3 stance, they are totally at odds.

gg to both...

anyone mind thinking about lynching Mord now? :>

Once the risk mislynch happens you can see him trying to redirect us to lynch Mordanis! You see him kinda go-with-the-flow, pretending to push for Mordanis but agreeing with whatever mislynch appears! He doesn't ever fight to get Mordanis lynched, which betrays his hesitation to actually push for the lynch.


ShiaoPi is scum and we need to gather all votes on him. If even just one of our votes are misplaced, scum can do a last minute vote switch. We need to consolidate early and fast.

##Vote: ShiaoPi



I'm going on a trip today where internet access will be iffy, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to respond / explain, but I'll be back in time for the night to discuss the final scum. We can still do it guys!

Sorry for not being present last cycle, didn't anticipate the trip would interfere with mafia play. Any excuse for lack of internet etc. were all genuine stuff that I would have had as town, I guess it just meshed well with the inactivity of town.

I feel like me and DYH would have been pretty easy to pick out if people re-read in light of flips and with some objectivity. For instance, when prplhz flipped scum no one really looked into D1, where I pushed scib's Forumite case which helped the mislynch. Risk's lynch didn't really make sense and even when he flipped town no one gave regard for his end post read on CL. In an especially small game like this where filter reading would have been easy, no one actually seemed to do so, and Keirathi's flip should have shown that risk's lynch was townie led but scum supported.

But yes inactivity is killer and this is why - I was never really pressured to say something that would show my contradictions. Not that you couldn't go through my filter and see how I have no direction with my reads, but it is doesn't stand out as much. Honestly if scib hadn't died N2 then we would be in huge trouble because we would have been dragged into the spotlight and our words more closely scrutinized.

Good play by DYH, even though he was uncertain / shy early on he really got involved and comfortable with his role.
