I dont understand why you find him a threat, honestly how is he any more threatening than bluelightz, there activity is basically the same.
Your case is entirely built on meta.
If you lynched palmar based on in game facts you could iamperfection for the same sort of thing.

Why are you so desperate to switch when the all knowing marv thinks ange and palmar are both scum?

The only reason would be if you were scum because it benefits you more. I don't know how this can't be seen as pushing scum agenda when you say their both scum but you want to lynch the player that is known for his "good town play" and "bad scum play". Then tell everyone hes so much of a threat. This is just trying to convince people to agree with you through fear mongering. Or because you actually think your the greatest and your reads are above everyone elses.

no it's not entirely on meta.

this game Palmar has done nothing, he let his townread prplhz get lynched without intervening, he's saying Ange shouldn't be lynched but he isn't intervening, he's called scum for the whole game without ANY explanation.

That is all WITHIN THIS GAME.

The meta merely matches perfectly to how completely useless and irrelevant he's been in every way this game.

But yes, I consider my reads better than yours because I've actually won some games as town.

IF Palmar is scum and IF he's dangerous because he can cause more confusion if left alive, then right now, the best opportunity for him to sow confusion is TO DO EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING.

Sit back. Not say anything. Let you keep ranting about him. Let the rest of town keep keep trying to deal with your ranting against him. The more you post about him, the less likely townies are to keep slogging through your posts. It doesn't help create a concise or readable thread either. And, as of now, it's ineffective in terms of actually getting him lynched. If you're actually worried about Palmar because his continued existence is a danger to town's ability to solve this game, you are actively feeding into that by spamming so much about him when, for now, it seems relatively clear that ange is still the player that town wants to lynch.

If you know Palmar so well, the flip side is also true. Palmar has played more games with you than with the rest of the players in this game, as far as I know. That means that IF he's going to be dicking with anyone's head, it's going to be yours. So quit letting him.

You want him lynched. You haven't said you think ange is not scum.

The reason you said you wanted him lynched over her is because he's got a great ability to sow confusion.

You're feeding that.

Marv - you want to lynch Palmar on Meta OVER Ange on Scumslip.

The way I see it, there's still a chance Palmar will flip town. Palmar to my knowledge is capable of doing some scummy shit as town (DeathNote Mini comes to mind). I don't see how Ange will flip town at all.

I love coming home after a long day to see that I am being lynched ...

Basically the biggest part of the case against me is my posting before the prplhz flip right? I don't know what is that incriminating in my posts so I'll go through them one by one and explain my thought process.

Why are you ninja voting iamperfection???


I tried to explain this one earlier. After what happened I had iamperfection marked down as a scum read. Not willing to vote himself but relying on the judgement and vote of someone else makes no sense as townie. Not with so much discussion we had day 1. So him suddenly voting scum prplhz made no sense if he had no interactions with prplhz and didn't even care enough to choose his lynch target himself. Therefore I was wondering if he tried to get town cred by bussing prplhz last minute.

Where is the flip? I wanna get the celebration starting


I had nothing else to add until that point. I was still convinced that prplhz was scum and was eagerly waiting for the flip.

As for the other big case on me by Mementoss:

Good morning guys! Catching up now ...


The smilely face opener, looking to look innocent, consistent with Ange777 scum meta. Probably won't make sense to any of you but I co-hosted Ange777 first game which she was scum and she opened similar, obviously she played a lot different otherwise cause didnt understand the game as much.
Analysis here:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=332805&currentpage=27#539


Come one ... scum meta? I have played one single game as scum which also was my first game of Forum mafia ever. Please don't make the mistake and call me scum for typing a smiley. I am a smiley person. I just love putting smileys into my sentences but having seen that people always seem to take smiley suspicious I have already tried to cut down my smiley usage in mafia games.

The amount of people calling Ange777 town for effort in day 1 is ridiculous. You can put in as much effort as scum as town. And I don't see Ange really doing that much to be honest. Mostly all of her filter is questions. Asking questions is good, but town motivation for asking questions is to make a follow up read and assessment of the answer, scum motivation for asking questions is because 1) its easy 2) it shows your reading the thread and 3) you can incriminate other people with the proper use of a question.

No point in me quoting it, but look through the filter, there is more questions than actual analysis or statements. So Ange is really just posting the questions without using the questions to further the analysis.


That's the way I try to understand people's thought process. If I can't understand why people are doing something I can't differ between scum and town. You can go through the last games I played as town and you'll probably see that there too I am asking lots of questions especially in day 1. I need some time to gather my information before I can unleash my complete force of scum hunting.

Here is anges first display of scum hunting, the first attempt of the prphlz case:

I don't really know. Contrary to popular beliefs, being the centre of attention for a little while doesn't entail a plentitude of scum reads. I guess I want to kill Ange777 but I don't really know why. The day is young though.

I'm curious about your austinmcc read I felt that this post was pretty townie it seems like he's putting some thought into the game about my alignment. What you think? You seem to be pretty sure of him being scum and I was too until that post so I'm wondering what changed my mind but didn't change yours.


You have shut down any discussion regarding Palmar's alignment.

Which by the way seems to be based on a ridiculous reason. He had his suspicions about Hiro because of the lack of content not because of suspicious content. So what's wrong with considering Hiro's statement?

Instead of finding scum by yourself you have others do the work for you. That's scum motivation.

##Vote: prplhz


1st point is a soft form of OMGUS. You voted me? No explanation? Its not townie like, but no where angie explains why it makes him scum.
2nd point not wanting to lynch palmar day 1 is a pretty common opinion, but for some reason it makes prplhz scum. Again no explanation of scum motives.
3rd point townie list, no explanation why she thinks its scumm
4th point voting marv, no explanation why she thinks its scummy again.

This is the only indication ange thinks prplhz is scum, Instead of finding scum by yourself you have others do the work for you. That's scum motivation. But its not really a thought out or extended explanation and again it was said by a lot of people earlier.

So overall, she took a target who was already under heat and summed up what everyone in the thread already pointed out, but never explained why she thought it was scummy.


Why is asking him why he wants to lynch me a form of OMGUS? There are two possibilities who might lynch me: scum and town. Of course I need to find out if he has a decent reason to vote me or if he is scum and therefore I should be suspicious of.

Why is not wanting to lynch Palmar day 1 a common opinion? I still don't get this. Over and over again he is being praised but there is nothing in his filter which is actually a decent contribution with an open thought process. Nothing. So why should he be spared a day 1 lynch?

Only stating town reads will only help us when you have 9 town reads and can find scum by process of elimination. I asked prplhz several times for a scum read which he didn't provide. Scum knows the alignment of all the players so of course it's easy for them to give out town reads because they won't be wrong about them. So only giving out town reads is scummy.

This particular point didn't make him scummy at that point. It was just a question because I don't understand how he can't see it my way.

Ange's second attempt at finding scum. But wait, its the same.... guy. What. She's basically shovelling the same shit over again. What is the point of doing this as town? Who are you trying to convince really? Prplhz was already the leader by 3 votes at this point, and you aren't bringing anything new to the table. The only motivation of doing this seems to me is scum motivation. Again, easy to fucking write up, trying to hard push the mislynch and no one will say anything because its the popular wagon atm, she doesn't want to have to make bad ties with anyone else this early in the game. Its fucking safe. She knows prplhz is going to get lynched, she doesn't want to make a case on someone else and stand out and possibly piss them off so they make another case on her. There is no reason to remake the case again on the leader of votes as town. There are 2-3 scum or a SK in this game, try hunting elsewhere, bring up new people.


Yes, prplhz was the leader by 3 votes but no one seemed to be willing to switch onto prplhz. Instead we had new cases pop up all the time which lead to an awful split town shortly before the deadline. I wanted people to rethink why they don't want to lynch prplhz when there was so much incriminating things in his posts. With everyone dead set on his votes and split like this of course there is a town motivation for remaking this case.

After the case on prplhz I tried to pressure Palmar but no one from you was willing to comment on it. All were giving him a free ride for day 1 just because he is Palmar. Seeing as we still had no majority I was of course more pre occupied with getting that majority instead of a no-lynch. Therefore the no in hindsight regrettably tunneling of prplhz.

I could go over each point again but read this case and tell me it seems like ange is trying hard to find scum or just pulling posts out of the filter and making commentary. Honestly if you spun this exact case the right way, it could be made against half the people in the game. Its not about scum motivation or scummy behaviour again, its based on what ange sees as non town like behaviour, or I wouldnt play like this as town behaviour. Pointing out things like fluff and town reads is all find and dandy, but why does it make him scum.

"I agree with austinmcc's case that Mementoss does not follow up his questions. I have to read through his filter once more though to give a final stance on him."

I found this pretty ironic, as 75% of anges filter is questions, and barely any are used to be analysed or actually assessed. They are just for the sake of being active and being townie. Town usually has a purpose in their mind behind the questions, scum already knows the answers and questions for them are just to look townie.


You say it yourself, it can be seen as me trying to make commentary on other people's filter or that I am actually trying to find scum. It's the latter. Of course pointing out fluff and town reads is not always the right path to nail scum but posting fluff and town reads instead of scum reads IS easier as scum and should be considered as suspicious.

Again as explained above, I tried to pressure Palmar and seeing that we still had no majority I tried to convince other people to vote prplhz. I especially asked the people voting austin to reconsider as I think his case was weak and not convincing and therefore austin should not be considered as the most scummiest player so that people vote prplhz instead.

I was looking for the case against austin as I wanted to defend him but couldn't find the actual post. I found it later anyway.

SNIP
Why does him posting a very poor first explanation before delivering a satisfying reasoning for his behaviour makes him lose "townieness"? Shouldn't the fact that he made such a bad explanation make him more townie as apparentely he was not worried about defending himself when he first made that post?

Seeing his recent vastly improved posting (especially his defense and scum-hunting whilst under pressure) I don't think austin is scum.


This defense on austin is very weird and stuck out to me as soon as I read it. Just because you get more active, doesn't eliminate the fact that you have a post that was scummy. The fact that he posted a poor explanation to start can't make him more townie, it means he wasn't being honest and writing from his mind. He was writing to prove his innocence rather than just state what he was doing. If he couldn't do it the first time it means he had to actively think about his defense, something a town player posting openly wouldn't do. The fact that I think austinmcc is still scummy isn't helping out ange at all. This poor logic and jumble of words defending austin is really scummy to me. It feels forced.

Marv also pointed this out and anges second explanation is just as logically flawed as the first.


Actually marv also said the following:

Pretty much generally agreed that this was scummy, so won't delve too much. Where shit starts to diverge is on the response, which people read as townie. There's important time issues to look at. BlazingHand first pushes him to elaborate on it, and we get this as a response:

<3 everyone at all, but you need to look further. He's generally not being killed off for supersexy scumhunting, but because he comes off as very townie and is generating a lot of discussion/activity from others. His early reads, although I haven't read recent games, are not generally a big threat to mafia.

Elaborate. Now.


Elaboration on the second half - Pudding is soft. Munching feels like it requires chewing, crunching. Can't do that with pudding. As to the obvious bit, obvious is the wrong word. I like...neat observations like that. It says something, unsure what, about you that you could pull out the starts to prplhz's game just like POOF. Like, I key in on the initial question more than the actual scummy stuff, because there's a chance that prplhz doesn't realize he's started scum games like that. But ... he has to, right? I gotta leave work, but the thought process is convoluted here.


Pudding blabla not satisfactory at all. His 'townie' explanation that follows only comes after me, Hapa, and BH apply further considerable pressure.

austin, you're not playing with grush.

It's not that it's too scummy to be town. Because the part of your post that I key in on is that prplhz, in two other scum games, and in none of the games he's played as town (out of what you reference), opens in a similar manner.

I think you are stretching when you say that the questions are scummy. Yes he can go look the guy up. Yes, he might ought to at least remember that the guy played in a game he hosted. But it's not like...asking a question about who someone is is scummy on its face. There's no scumhunting heuristic for "opens games asking questions about a particular player." It MAY be scummy as applied to prplhz, but it's not like every player who opens like that is probably scum.

So then . . . working off that. If it's not scummy on its face, but might be scummy to prplhz, why? There's no objective pushed there, it's not like starting off a game with that post helps a mafia objective. If prplhz is scum and happens to start all his scum games this way, it's just something he does without knowing it. There's no objective pushed.

Then finally, if starting games that way as scum is just something prplhz does without knowing it, not to push an objective, then . . . it's almost null? Not getting there in the same way "small sample size" gets there. The train of thought is...

(1) This is a thing that prplhz has done in scum games
(2) This is a thing that does not further mafia objectives, or actively DO anything really
(3) Therefore, it's likely he's just doing it subconsciously
(4) If he's doing it subconsciously, then it's not really a tell.

Could argue that he only does it subconsciously as scum, but then you get the sample size discussion and there's no real proof either way.

So obvious was really the wrong word choice, when I fully go through this.



It's not a bad explanation as it goes, and I can see why people viewed it as townie. But the fact is that it only came after his previous, poor explanation. In other words, he had to give a good explanation because he knew a large part of town was hounding him for it. In this context, I believe it loses some of its 'townieness'. I bold the final line as well for a reason. Obvious was the wrong word choice, eh? Look at how austin usually posts - longwinded, carefully thought out. Yet in this instance he'd thrown out his 'obvious' and 'too damning'. It looks like austin is justifying his scummy words after the fact.

austin has a few posts subsequently, but they are all focused on his own defence rather than any other scumhunting. Why is he so worried about how others view his defence? Why is he only talking about his own defence rather than being proactive elsewhere? Because he's worried that he needs to appear as town.

After these posts, austin has been markedly absent from any of the considerable goings-on in this thread. We don't have an opinion on anyone or anything, except his own defence. His play is marked by being worried by how he appears, rather than finding scum.

##Vote: austinmcc


Why does him posting a very poor first explanation before delivering a satisfying reasoning for his behaviour makes him lose "townieness"? Shouldn't the fact that he made such a bad explanation make him more townie as apparentely he was not worried about defending himself when he first made that post?

Seeing his recent vastly improved posting (especially his defense and scum-hunting whilst under pressure) I don't think austin is scum.


You'll have to explain to me why giving a weak explanation on a weak comment makes him townie, Ange. My train of thought was that he was waffling in his defence to the post, hoping to brush it under the carpet, instead of straight out explaining why he made the vote in the first place. The fact that he needed to be further pressured to clarify his comment makes him lose townieness, because by this point he is forced to make a good explanation or face being lynched.

That said, austin's concerns on my company on him are legitimate. iamperfection is giving absolutely no reasoning, and he completely correct that I asked fuba for thoughts on austin, WHO HE IS FUCKNIG VOTING, and he gave me thoughts on Mementoss instead. Arg.


My point is that giving a weak explanation fits a town player who should not be scared of being accused as scum. Being town there is no need to write your posts carefully which could lead to a weak first explanation before a satisfying second one. I see your point of view but I don't agree with it.


I can understand how it can be viewed both ways. But given the context of his whole play at the time, the only thing he'd done is post about 10 times on defending himself, and not at all at hunting scum.


So he CAN understand that it can be viewed both ways. Don't misrepresent the facts.

Pretty much generally agreed that this was scummy, so won't delve too much. Where shit starts to diverge is on the response, which people read as townie. There's important time issues to look at. BlazingHand first pushes him to elaborate on it, and we get this as a response:

<3 everyone at all, but you need to look further. He's generally not being killed off for supersexy scumhunting, but because he comes off as very townie and is generating a lot of discussion/activity from others. His early reads, although I haven't read recent games, are not generally a big threat to mafia.

Elaborate. Now.


Elaboration on the second half - Pudding is soft. Munching feels like it requires chewing, crunching. Can't do that with pudding. As to the obvious bit, obvious is the wrong word. I like...neat observations like that. It says something, unsure what, about you that you could pull out the starts to prplhz's game just like POOF. Like, I key in on the initial question more than the actual scummy stuff, because there's a chance that prplhz doesn't realize he's started scum games like that. But ... he has to, right?

Only scum would say this. Solely Trying to incriminate iamprefection with the question, when the answer was fucking obvious to anyone and everyone. The conflicting claims when one of them was obviously fake. And it wasn't a ninja vote since there is no voting thread and it was in plain sight.

Then there is the trying so hard to be emotional and surprised. Like honestly most of us were surprised, but ange is letting everyone KNOW how surprised she was. Why is this? Cause she already knew the result beforehand.


I explained this earlier. Please see the above for my thought process.

also at ange i want to you to explain more on your thought process at the deadline. What was going through your head when the claims came out.


What was going on? I have you marked as a scum read that's what's going on. Why would someone give up his right to vote just to simply sheep another player? Especially sheeping someone you yourself called a terrible townie. There is no town motivatoin for that kind of play. Publicly stating to sheep your town read just gives you an excuse to be wrong with your vote because you were not responsible for it.

And suddenly vote switching in the last minutes onto the seemingly scum prplhz whom you had not mentioned again after dismissing Blazinghand's case as being a weak meta case is just something I don't understand.

Two possibilities:

1) You are town. You want to make sure prplhz gets lynched. But we already had the majority to lynch him. So why the last minute vote? We discussed prplhz a lot before the end of Day 1 and you did not give your stance on him.

2) You are scum. You wanted to get some town cred for jumping on "scum prplhz".

Right now I am leaning to 2 as you still haven't given me a satisfying answer for your voting behaviour.


Finally people are starting to take a closer look at palmar? What is this. People were mentioning palmars posts for a good part of day 1. This sentence is just trying to make yourself look good for mentioning you were "suspecting" palmar at one point.

Ange saying there is no town motivation for iamperfections play is just ridiculous and its actually the opposite. Ange is trying to incriminate him and put together a case against someone she doesn't find dangerous. Someone that won't come back and call her out. Someone that won't attempt to call her on her shit.

Town motivation for switching votes, you thought the claim was fake and ridiculous so you changed your vote to who you thought was scum. Any reasonable town in the thread WOULD make this switch.

Scum motivation for making this switch? There is none, why would scum want to last minute switch onto a townie? Why would scum want to out themselves by doing this? He could have easily pretended not to be in the thread.


Yeah, people were mentioning Palmar's posts quite a lot but like almost no one except for marv was actually criticizing Palmar's play. People were only saying that Palmar looked town. I WAS suspecting Palmar for quite a long time already.

So I only put cases against people that are not dangerous? No, I put cases against people that play scummy.

If any reasonable town in the thread would make this switch why were there still people in the thread not voting prplhz who did not switch their vote? Like austin?

You are asking why scum would last minute switch. I can do the same and ask why scum would not last minute switch. It's the fact that he didn't care to chose his own vote target and yet cared enough to vote switch that made me suspicious.

TLDR;
1) People calling ange town for effort and contributing, when ange was never in danger, no reason for this.
2) Ange looks like contributing, but actually just 2 cases on the case that was already made, by people in the thread, actually just asking a ton of questions without a purpose behind the questions
3) Cases don't provide reason why actions are scummy. Seems to be targetting the easiest players, the players that won't come back at her and call her scum, prplhz, >mkfuba > iamperfection.
4) Flawed logic towards austinmcc and iamperfection, to try and paint their alignment the way she wants. Austinmcc defense that makes no sense, Aggressive on iamperfection for voting a scummy action and saying its scum motivation when in no way it is.
5) The smiley face opener
6) Go read you lazy fucker

Ange777 the secret it out you are scum

##Vote:Ange777

I also think Austinmcc is still scum, more thoughts on that later hopefully.


Yes, I have only made 2 bigger cases and asked tons of questions. Questions I need answers to or I can't make cases.

My cases don't target people that are easy targets. Take prplhz for example, he did call me scummy. And I have not made a case on mkfuba. I had simply announced that I would re-read his filter. I started to question Palmar. I don't think that you would call him an easy target would you?

Austin's defense was not non sense at all, otherwise marv wouldn't have agreed that it can be viewed my way. And I don't see why my logic on iamperfection's vote switch is flawed at all.

Come one ... really? The smiley rule?

If there is anything I haven't addressed feel free to ask me. I might have missed something. But please rather sooner than later cause otherwise I'll go to sleep first.
