I'd say Gravan looks real scummy right now. He attempted the same thing as Ottox, defending Matt by saying he was probably an assassin, but much more quietly and backed away as soon as he realised it was a bad idea. If anything that looks more scummy than Ottox at the moment.

I think the general consensus is that Ottox is scum and needs to get vig shot and I've said enough about him already so I'll leave that as is. On to who needs lynching tomorrow.
I'm convinced at this point that Gravan needs lynching. His filter reads like textbook scum tactics.

No where did I say Toad was scummy, I was just trying to focus the discussion elsewhere - at that time, everyone was going on and on about otto, which felt like a dead-horse topic to me. I suppose I could have also talked about matt, and said something to the effect of "oops, I guess I was wrong". What do you want from me here? I keep getting harped on for my 'terrible' case on Bill, but I still don't really see why he can aimlessly say I need to get shot and get away with it. From a scum perspective it makes sense to casually try to get townies killed by a vig/mislynch. But, from a townie perspective it makes sense to do what you are doing right now if you want someone to die; you make a reasoned case against them - pulling out all kinds of information in the process.
You didn't outright say toad was scummy but "If Matt flips scum, Ottox and Toad really need to be looked at" sounds like you think that's the case. The thing that makes you most scummy to me is that you don't stick to your reads and you don't back them up with good arguments. It makes it look like you know the people you say are scummy aren't actually scum, something you would only know if you were scum.

Matt claims nosy neighbor at 9:12 TL time, 9/4 Palmar confirms nosy neighbors are not self-aware at 18:17 TL time, 9/4 Gravan comes in with his passive post at 5:41, 9/5 Gravan starts talking about Matt and the assassin stuff at 9:38, 9/5
That bugs me. If Gravan is scum, then either he posted in thread without checking in QT, or checked QT before posting in thread. If he checked it, there's NO WAY that he wrote that crap. Right? No way do you limp into thread 20 hours after your scumbuddy got caught and 11 hours after it was confirmed he was caught and go "Hey guys, sorry." Then ESPECIALLY NO WAY do you wait 4 hours after that post and go "Okay I think he's an assassin." Right? And if he didn't check QT, he came back, posted that bad post, then had 4 hours. I'm guessing in that time he would have checked QT while reading thread, and same thing...you don't get that next post. I know he's got more posts now, and I agree that the BM case is weak/OMGUSy. But I still don't see this guy as scum because I can't believe that scum would post that assassin bit so far after the time that Matt's goose was mod-cooked. Are you okay with that timing? Do you think he just didn't read QT? You think that over the course of more than 10 hours scum didn't give explicit instructions for how to handle Matt in thread? You think they crafted this weird post for one scum member to call out matt as an assassin (and, if so, to what end, because clearly it's not making people find him town)?
That's getting into the same reasoning as Ottox's reason why Matt wasn't scum, that because scum can talk with team mates they don't make mistakes. Your point makes sense if the scum team is working well together but we've had Matt's fake claim which is obviously scum doing something stupid. If you add to that Ottox who I think is scum doing all the stupid shit he has done I can see Gravan posting the soft defence of Matt before thinking and before looking at the QT. Obviously this alone wouldn't be a solid case, in the same way BM's point about Hapa coaching isn't enough to push a lynch on him, but with the rest of Gravan's posting being so lurky and faux contributing I think that Gravan is the best bet to lynch tomorrow.
On September 07 2012 01:07 slOosh wrote: imallison have you considered Gravan as newbie town or do you think the evidence shows otherwise? Also what do you make of his stance on Otto if you think both scum?
Because I'm seeing new town learning as he goes along. You can see how his post reflect the thread information at the time (indication that he is reading), and making what you consider bad arguments is alignment null. His case against BM is very reasonable - as a new player what would you do when you see someone dropping strings of 8 1-liners and being vague in general, and people ignoring him?
It's certainly possible he is newbie town but I don't think that is a sufficient explanation for his scummy behaviour. Personally I've never played a game with BM before and seeing everyone ignore him I figured that not everyone can be scum so it must just be how BM is. Even if Gravan didn't reach the same conclusion the case reeks of scum making a light case on someone they think will be an easy target to seem to contribute to the thread.
As for Ottox and Gravan both being scum I think it's certainly possible. Notice Gravan doesn't talk about Ottox being scummy until well after Ottox started his hole digging project. I think it is certainly possible that the scum team decided that Ottox had shafted himself and bussed him to blend in with everyone else attacking him.

The problem is that everyone who didn't have a vote on Matt voted Matt after Palmar's post with little or no explanation because the explanation was obvious to everyone (except Ottox of course). I'm sure scum bussed Matt as soon as they saw Palmar's post. So our possible list of people who could be scum bussing Matt is everyone who voted Matt except Sloosh, Hapa and DYH which doesn't get us very far.

Wow that flip with regards to the Matt vote is pretty damning. I don't see why a town player would ignore what he had just said just because other people were voting against it. I'd be very curious to see what BKE had to say about it. ##Vote: BroodKingEXE
I'm still suspicious of Gravan (BKE trumps that at the moment). I'm not really buying the "he is newb town" argument, his filter still looks more scum than town to me.

If BKE flips red, Gravan is 100% town. GoodKarma and BKE talked about him too much (and BKE was highly suspicious of him) to be a scumbuddy.
I wouldn't say he was 100% town (that's a really bad thing to say about someone in general) but I wouldn't push a lynch on him in that case. I think it's entirely possible that Gravan is scum and BKE is town but the case against BKE is stronger at the moment.

I've been out all day and caught up with the thread on the bus home. The day is almost over so sorry if this is a bit hasty. I'm not buying BKE's watcher claim.
First a few assumptions I'm making: 1) Mafia has one vig thus had effectively three kp night one not including GK's bomb. 2) Mafia used all their kp. Someone suggested they saved some to out blues but that seems like it would only work if pressure was being put on that blue so I think it's unlikely. 3) Mafia did not shoot Ottox.
If BKE is watcher then GK must have bombed BM and shot BC without a double stack. Therefore we are missing two kp. The only way for this to happen is a combination of a medic/jailer getting a lucky save, a scum shot hit an assassin or the jailer rb'd a scum.
To me this seems very unlikely because BC seems like the better bomb target and barring a medic saving BKE he should be dead. Also missing two kp feels really fishy to me. One getting blocked I could understand but two seems a little far fetched given the information available at the time (that no one apart from the two dead people seemed that town).

I'm guessing they are just missing one shot. Mafia have 2kp + vigi + bomber to kill with. I agree that ottox was probably a town vigi kill, so there is one kp missing, no? gk - BC or BM 1 kp - BM or BC 1 kp - ??? It's most likely that the mafia vigi didn't waste his shot, no? Why would vigi shot be a waste? I figure mafia wants to thin out the town as much as possible thus the vigi is basically an extra kp for the first two nights. I could be wrong but there is more scummy stuff about BKE that was said before he claimed.

This is because they barely actually play the game and if you end up in lylo with one of them left, you've basically already lost. I completely understand anyone wanting to policy lynch them, but we should also not allow them to be off the hook for some sort of scum read during the day.
That being said, I remember thinking to myself that I don't hate BM's play in the last few games I have been in with him. I do not want to policy lynch today.
Why would you claim this? You eliminated yourself as a possible blue from scums list of townies, and it´s not like you doing this eliminates you as a scum suspect. If someone see you visiting a player who dies the we´re lynching you anyway. "We're lynching you anyway" Not cool. First, I disagree with the notion that revealing yourself as a nosy neighbor is scummy. Oh wait, Forumite didn't really say that. He didn't really say much of anything here if you ask me, but back to the point of "lynching you anyways", I don't like the blanket statements from Forumite.

If someone see you visiting a player who dies the we´re lynching you anyway. Because there is no town benefit to me hiding this information. and for all everyone knows I could be a blue role trying to avoid being incorrectly tracked as well if I get tracked to a dead person atleast there will be something to think about before mislynching me Lying to town as a blue is a bad idea. If you fakeclaim nosy neighbor to fool scum, then you risk getting lynched by town. You are still going to draw a few trackers during the first few nights, just to make sure that you are really visiting people at random with no effect, so because of this you might actually be hurting town by distracting blues. Why are trackers going to be inclined to 'verify' a nosy neighbor claim? Even if Mattchew is scum, he just needs to do something and his claim is still up in the air. Why is Forumite trying to manipulate our blues? There's also the point about lying as a blue. How about lying in general to the town? There isn't any value in this statement. Town is supposedly harmed because our Trackers have to make sure Mattchew is really visiting random people with no effect. And then they get a confirmed townie out of the exchange. Wait, how does that hurt us again?

Why not just straight answer the question without adding another one? There is a difference in someone discrediting me and someone being deliberately disruptive. Forumite phrased the question in a way that seemingly put words in my mouth as I said the former but not the latter (or never intended to so I checked with my question). Specifically the last paragraph is what I want noted. Then again, slo0sh addressed the 'strong reaction' in the first part of that quote, but I don't think slo0sh reacted 'strongly' at all. Forumite is just stirring the pot here and not really being helpful to me. He looks like he's pushing discussion, but slo0sh was taking care of that all on his own. We didn't need Forumite to prompt him.
I see a lot of roundabout advice from Forumite on why claiming self-aware miller is terrible and how our blues are screwed for it. But nowhere does he tell us that Mattchew is scummy, just that he'll still be suspicious no matter what. His prodding at slo0sh dead-ended pretty quickly and he's ducked out of the thread after making this post: Show nested quote +On September 04 2012 10:01 Forumite wrote:On September 04 2012 10:00 Z-BosoN wrote: Hello folks ^^ I would appreciate it if someone could clear some things up, since I've never played in this setup yet.

He is assuming a mafia vig. Given that there are only two dead from last night I'm starting to think that isn't the case.
