Why was that scummy? You say something that you know, since you've been watching me like a creeper, would piss me off, then you vote for me for responding to it.

So why was my policy talk scummy? You didn't even mention that in your vote post.

You are hardly antagonizing me. But no, it is not true. Firstly, if you were town you are not getting night killed. There is a reason that you have never been night killed, even when you claimed JK day one. Secondly, you are not getting night killed because you are not town.


that was 100% flame. now you are just insulting my play

I have been told many times I have a "scummy meta." Not really fair since last game I did roll scum so I didn't really get a chance to show improvement in my town play. I'm working on it guys.


Apologetic and excusing scummy play before the game has really begun. Intrinsic guilt and belief that you will come across as scum. Not a townie trait at all.

This is my 4th newbie game so I'm experienced as possible to play in this game. Also I think rolling scum last game will help my reads greatly. I know how those fuckers think.


Needlessly aggressive and otherwise irrelevant. Hinting you are town which is something scum worry about doing but townies are less inclined to do.

Everyone say how you feel about lurker policy.
I take kind of a middle of the ground stance. I mean if you have like 3 lurkers obviously you shouldn't waste 3 nights killing them off 1 by 1. If I think someone is scummy than I vote for that person. If I don't have any good scumreads then I will be in favor of lynching a lurker.
Usually what seems to happen is town can't decide so they bandwagon on some lurker at the last second. I'm not against this since it keeps pressure on possible scum.
I don't like people to say oh we are definitely lynching a lurker d1, because then scum feels safe as long as they are somewhat active.
My willingness to lynch a lurker decreases as the game progresses. For example I think lynching a lurker d3 is really bad.


Policy talk that says very little yet makes it seem like you want to contribute. Null tell at best but doesn't look great in the context of your post.

Message to scum:
I can smell you.

Once again. Hinting you are town in your first post.


Thank you. now why you didn't do that at first I don't know. Instead you engaged in this flame war with me for really no reason.

About my first post, yeah it was meant as mostly irrelevant. Just an introduction so people could get to know me.
I prob should not bring this up but let me just say I have an unkilled undefeated streak atm. 3 games played and I have yet to die and yet to lose. Therefore, for perhaps selfish reasons, I have a strong will to self survival. I want people to know that I have a scummy meta so they don't lynch me for it.
Apparently you were ready to lynch me in all 3 games even though I was town in 2 of them. I want to avoid that.

So that wasn't an insult or a flame? You are saying I've never been nk because scum doesn't see me as a threat because I am bad. That's the real talk translation.

That's when I baited your fos.

Your recent case against my defense basically says you think I play bad. Just because I don't fit your mold of how you want a townie to act does not mean I can't find scum.

should not have looked at thread again now I have to respond...
@debears yeah it's like exactly the same as last game. That's because I think up my first post almost word for word before I even get my roll pm. I did not get to follow through with it last game though since I rolled scum.
Also sorry for the semiflame war. It was not that bad. Also he started it.

Aside from that, I think the plan to start tunneling during the second half of the day is really bad. It helped us a lot last game as scum because we had an excuse not to vote for the people we were fosing.

Was it also a joke ?
How can you be so sure you are not going to be NKed ?

Because the most active townie is tunneling me? Obviously I'm not going to be nk.
And yes it was a joke but the best jokes have truth to them.
It is a joke in that it's purpose was to be funny since obviously it doesn't help the scumhunt or my defense.

Sup have to make this post real quick. Will read everything and post on my phone late.r

1. Why are you putting my name in red like darth? it seems like you are subliminally trying to influence people to your cause.
This is a game of logic not advertising.

2. My supposed scumslip: huh? What else should I have called you? Player? Person? Maybe but to me those things sound awkward. Townie just seemed like the most non awkward word to use.
Innocent until proven guilty. That's how we do it in America bro.

getting everyone's thoughts on lurker policy is important. Don't argue about it but share your views on the matter please..


Encouraging newbie towns to post is more important than typing out the same things I've said about lurker policy in XXVI and XXVII yet again:

If we don't have a good scum case (lurker or active) by late d1, we lynch the most suspicious lurker. We should obviously be looking to avoid that scenario by scum hunting.

That's really all that needs to be said as far as I'm concerned.


Agreed but, regrettably, there isn't really anything else to talk about this early. To second his point about townies being active, don't get intimidated if you aren't really sure how to make a case and stop posting. Long cases aren't the only way to catch scum so if you feel overwhelmed sick around and ask questions. Demand answers for things you find wrong. Even if it doesn't directly catch a scum it provides insight into both you and the person you question. Silence allows the scum to hide very easily without having to do anything.



This is your first post. Let me summarize:
1 theres nothing to talk about d1
2 townies should be active

So you didn't actually give your lurker policy.
1 is just anti town. A lot of stuff has happened that you can talk about.
2 is just obvious beyond obvious.

Alright, here are my thoughts. Starting with this post (^).

You have issues with reading or you're misrepresenting intentionally.

I said "there isn't anything to talk about this early. As in the time of posting that what can we discuss except lurker and simple policy that has nothing to do with a case.

Number two is obvious because you have played multiple games. Not everyone has. My first game I played like I described in my post and was dead weight. I was carried and simply posting more would have helped out with that. Even if it is completely obvious to everyone in the game it still was worth saying. It gave you something to accuse me with, which opens up discussion.

Now onto your other case of misrepresenting (Full quote in spoiler for context, relevant part is immediately after).

Can you show me where this happened? I checked the postgame from XXVI and it wasn't there. I checked the pregame for XXVII and it wasn't there. The closest I found was this post from Hapa that says they made the mistake of shooting kreb N2 because of the gut read Jacob had on you as town and that they couldn't kill Jacob, you and myself at once N3 to reduce the number of confirmed/near-confirmed.

If this is the quote, it wasn't that your amazing play put you in such a confirmed town role that they should have shot you, its that Jacob (de-facto town leader) thought you were town. He isn't off the mark in saying that your play makes it so you don't get night-killed. If Jacob had been iffy about you I'd bet money Hapa wouldn't have said anything about scum shooting you.

Instead of addressing why less than a day into the game you aren't worried about a nightkill you accuse him of flaming while misrepresenting previous games to avoid answering.


This is so long it should be spoilered, but its impossible to do on my phone so I'm sorry for the clutter.

So you write a lot here concerning that post game discussion I referred to.
You may be right that hapa said it. To me there is no difference between them.

He said mafia should have killed me because I was considered confirmed town.
You sure do focus a lot on that though. That was definitly the least important part of my post. It's not a misrepresentation and I didn't make a big deal about it, unlike you.
Why not address the body of the case?

hi stutters.
I'm not really sure what aspects of darth's post you would like me to address. Clarify and I shall address them.

Yeah it appears that I do make posts that do not benefit the scumhunt early game. However it does get people talking to maybe it benefits us more than you think? Optimal play probably not. It's just me having fun basically. My play gets better as time goes on, or at least I like to think it does.

Why aren't I afraid of nk?
Because scum nks the least suspicious person, most helpful person they can get away with.
If scum nks me tonight that would be quite a stupid nk.
People.ask.me.why I'm.afraid of nk... people ask me why I'm not afraid of.nk. I love bringing nk up lol.
Again this is a response to a direct question. Personally I think mostly the time for fucking around has past. I will not discuss my desire for survival unless someone asks me about it.


People.have a provlem with my jokes? It's extremely obvious to me which posts of mine should and should not be taken seriously.

Why did I bait his fos? His threat pissed me off. If a guy threatens you, you have.to challenge him or you become his bitch.

To clarify my case against darth. He isn't flaming but he trying to make people mad. You can tell.in every post where he foses.someone just by the tone of his prose. Savvy? that was.the example I used, but there are.plenty. more. Who even uses that word except in old.westerns when a figure of authority is talking down to a subordinate.

that post of when I say player and person is actually from when I was scum. that was.because.I put in extra effort to not make scum slips. this game I don't even give a fuck.
I.think people misunderstand.the nature of scumslips. I'm surprised that people who have been scum before don't realise this. Think of the scumslips you've made.They aren't obvious like that. I made plenty last game.

So you don't think I was aggressive my second game? Read the post where drazzak foses me. I.flame quite bad there.if I remember.correctly.

People.critisize me for not scumhunting. Well I identified my top scum read and his scummy behavior. My time is not infinite though and people keep asking me questions I have to answer. Would you prefer I ignore questions?

It is not impossible to find scum on the first day.

Scum hunt, vote for your top scum read and everything else will fall into place.


After LVII I'm rather liking the idea of policy lynches, in extreme cases.

Killing lurkers in a lurker-infested town, for example, is something I'm inclined to agree on. If the town proves itself active, then whoever proves himself scummier will occupy the noose.

Given that this is a newbie game, scums are generally more scared to post. While that is a general tendency, I don't agree with mass posters being cleared right off the bat, even if their posts seem meaningful.

What I suggest in this game, is that people read. From my few games, much time is usually wasted discussing things that have not been read properly.

This is a rather useless post. Newbie towns want to scumhunt. Newbie scum want to look like they are scumhunting. That =/= posting a lot but not for the sake of posting, or whatever you meant.

And please tell me, what do you mean? You say you hope to have moved past the lurker discussion, and yet you are telling people to post a lot? In my eyes you are telling people not to lurk because that will make them seem scummy. It seems to me that you are indirectly stating your views on lurkers despite openly saying you don't want to talk about them.









Meh. Don't like lurker policy lynches at all. It just tells scum: Post. and your safe. I have read every post so far as scummy and I don't see SDM's post as more or less scummy than the others.

But posting a lot will let people get a good read on you so you should 100% be doing this as town. And then if all the townies are posting you force scum to. Which makes it much easier to nab them also.

SO. Post a lot if you are town. You make scum uncomfortable and facilitate town reads on yourself and scum reads on scum.




You also clutter the thread if you just post alot. Let me specify. Post quality as often as you can. That means reread the thread and build good cases. One liners don't do much good. Cases with multiple quotes and a few sentences of explanation per quote are good (most of the time).

Also, USE YOUR COACHES TOWN. Thrawn pmed Hapa over 50 times last game and he had the best town performance. That isn't a coincidence.

@Kush

I don't like the way you are starting off this game kush. It's eerily similar as last game when you were mafia. You mention you're deathless streak, nk, and your scummy meta without anyone bringing it up. You should know that I most likely know you're trends better than anyone else in this game.

The only difference between this game and last is that you have engaged in a flame war with Darth this game, which is unhelpful to our town.

FOS Kush


@everyone

One more thing:

Feel free to accuse and build cases on anyone you want for the first 24 hours. However, let's start tunneling for the second 24 hours. Also, I would like everyone to start considering a lurker (in your head) once we hit the second 24 hours as a backup. If we get close to the lynch deadline, and there are no scummy candidates, feel free to post a good case on which lurker would be the best candidate.


First of all, his "I want town to win!!" post telling town to use their coaches. He then FoS's Kush, due to the fact that he's playing a similar game as the one he was scum. He says that DP + kush flame war is bad for the town, but doesn't attack Darthpunk, probably because he finds kush to be more scummy looking. Now, from a townie perspective, what does debear want? Information in order to lynch kush, as he pointed a FOS mostly based on a meta read. But suddenly, towards darthpunk:

Show nested quote +
snip --You could also say that you are too convinced in your reasons. What I am cautious of at this point is that you stated directly before the game that you were after kush if he plays like he has in his past 3 games. I feel like that may be clouding your judgement in this situation.

Our main goal is to lynch mafia. Yes, kush has said some scummy things. However, I'm not gonna go around parading this early saying "kush is scum. Kush is scum. OMFG".

Also, let the man defend himself instead of trying to rally everyone active behind your cause so early. If he is scummy, the votes will come.


He is defensive towards kush. That's not how townies think. While I agree that DP is a bit overboard on kush, I don't agree that he failed to give arguments as to why he thinks that is so. A townie with a FOS on someone will want to deal with the arguments first. He doesn't do that, and suddenly becomes defensive on Kush. He says, later:

Show nested quote +
I'm not defending him as much as I'm trying to tell you that you are going overboard right now. You don't have to rush in annointing him scum.


He is more bothered by DPs certainty than by his actual arguments. Inconsistency #1.

He then comes up with two cases. One against me, and one against Djoref:

After LVII I'm rather liking the idea of policy lynches, in extreme cases.

Boson, please try not to read too hard into a person's very first posts and make something out of nothing. It is pretty clear what sonic was saying. He wants newbies to post so that they don't get grouped under the lurker corral that usually follows up later. Last game, we had lurkers galore and it really messed up the town.

Also, you mention that his post is useless. Now I will examine your two other posts in terms of uselessness.

getting everyone's thoughts on lurker policy is important. Don't argue about it but share your views on the matter please..

No it's not. It is simply a mechanism to get the discussion going and allows scum to seem to participate and to potentially mislynch an inactive townie. Any more talk of policy will get you FoS'd.


Sorry but who appointed this asshole boss?
you get people's thoughts on lurker policy, so you can catch them deviating from it later and question them about it.


And why are you that scared of a FOS?


A one-liner. A question that really doesn't accomplish anything. In other words, a useless post. Also, your next post doesn't address his response although he responded right after and you posted within 30 minutes of his response in a pretty light thread.

@DP

Saying we will lynch lurkers is one thing. Deciding whether a lurker should die later at day two is another.
What I said is I'm inclined to lynch a lurker if there aren't better choices, not that we will 100% lynch a lurker.

@Stutters

I'd like to see more posts from you. In XXIV you showed you were capable of making decent posts as town, so I encourage you to post eve more here.

@kush

What's your view on darthpunk? You said you don't like his coldness, but you don't like it in a "he's scum" sort of way?


Yet again, nothing of substance here. You go more in depth about semantics (is that the right word I'm looking for?) about lynching lurkers and lynching lurkers at day two.

Second, you call out stutters, who has already been warned by others and most likely the mods for no reason this early in the game.

Finally, two sentences, two questions going on about the exact wording of kush's statements.

It sounded like before the game you had stated that you have played in multiple games. Is that true?

For someone who is telling other people to not post useless posts, you aren't doing a good job of it yourself. Looks more like you are trying to just be active while off the radar. In other words, you are a semi-active lurker who has bad post quality. Sounds like characteristics of a certain alignment.

Nevermind you look just more confident to get a scum on D1 than me.


Regarding my plan, I think we need general directions to follow because of the majority lynch.
It is a way to gather everybody around 2-3 suspicious players and secure a lynch. I'm assuming everyone agree on a no-lynch to be stupid.


Djoref, I don't like that statement at all. That's the second post you bring up about the likelihood of lynching a townie d1. As town, you should never have that mentality. I would probably less likely to bring this up if you were a total nooby. However, you said you "know Kush's meta" which means you have some decent understanding of the game for a noob.

By saying this, it seems that you are setting yourself an excuse to be indecisive later in the day when the lynch voting comes around. Alone, it isn't much. However, your other posts don't help.

@Darthpunk

Considering that we are likely to lynch a town on D1, don't you think it's a lesser wrong to get rid of someone inactive ?
Inactivity means no scumhunt and room to hide for the mafia...


After playing mafia last game, I feel like heavy lurking is a bad play for mafia. It puts too much pressure on you are as a scum. Instead, posting lightly without much substance is more mafia indicative.

Yet again, I feel you are just looking like you are contributing without saying much.

Especially when you already covered your thoughts in a previous post.

Hello everybody !

About me

This is my first game ever on forum but I've been playing on SC2mafia and also irl. But I've been lurking on the TL Mafia forum for a while (so I know your meta kush^^) and I decided to join this newbie game.
I'm also a French guy and I live in Korea so my english is not on top and it's going to ne difficult for me to be around at deadline (5.00 am KST).

Lurker policy

From the games I've seen, unless you have a golden scumslip on d1, it's very difficult to lynch a scum the very first day.
So I have no problem ending up voting for the most suspicious lurker at the end of the day. I define most suspicious lurker as a semi-lurker just trying to blend in.


Day Plan

I don't think to be able to be around for the first deadline so I would like to propose a day plan to secure a lynch as we are using a majority vote. First 24 hours to find lynch candidates while scumhunting and next 20 hours to decide who is the scummiest. Last 4 hours to consolidate the vote or switch to a lurker.

Please discuss


Notice how you are just repeating points? It isn't helpful to us.

A two sentence, two question post. I don't like these. They are worthless. Also, this question came quite a bit later after darthpunk already was asking questions about joking. You seem to be sheeping onto darth's case against kush.

I would also like to hear you explanations about this specific part. I don't have a read on Darth on the moment considering he has only been hard tunneling you. As you said yourself you have a scummy meta so you are an easy target for early game to put pressure on.

So what makes him so much town ?



Yet again, this post is just repeating what darth is saying. Another question. I don't like this.

Your early posts are indicative of a semi-active scum. Sheeping, question posts, and rehashing things already said multiple times.



Notice the similarity between the two. He attacks us for asking questions (later on denies that they provide any discussion whatsoever), and falls into the same "semi-active lurker" category he's sniffing about. I will ignore the quality of his arguments, which I personally think are horrible, and will look more towards their similarity.

See the similarity, especially the bolded part? It seems that he has this "semi-active scum" cake recipe that he is using to sniff out scum. He also calls us out on our posting quality, in my case saying it is bad.

I won't address his next post towards me because I've already done so, and because it doesn't increase his scumminess , as "bad cases =/= scum" (although it pisses me off).

Anyways, now to the main stuff. He has a case against me and Djoref, for pretty much the same reasoning. Yet, check out what his next post on Djoref is:

For your information, i consider the comments of debears on my posts legitimate. Let me say that I even don't like them. Currently reading the guides and older game analysis.


Please pm marv for help. The coaches are great


Wtf??? What ?? Where is his case against Djoref?? He goes from a scummy-looking sheep with one liners to a "townie who should pm marv for help"? Could he have forgotten that Djoref was one of his main suspicions? Inconsistency #2


Note that I no longer think that his defense of SDM is scummy. I've gone over that a few times and I admit that it can also come from a townie perspective.

To summarize, here are the main inconsistencies in his play that scream to me SCUM:
1) He had a FOS on kush, then hurried on to defend him, in the manner I've shown above. I cannot fathom for the life of me having a FOS on someone and suddenly feel like I have to address an exaggeration on that person before I actually address the case.
2) He completely absolves Djoref for absolutely no reason. Townies do not throw around suspicions only to insta-drop them.
3) The other supporting arguments I've shown above.

debears is SCUM!

##vote debears


Hi z bozon.
Inconsistencies do not make someone scum.
Also it's quite funny how you are so certain this early in the game.
To summarize this awesome post: your case is not strong. you are overconfident in your scumread.

hi stutters .
its not that I don't give a fuck about this game. its that I don't give a fuck about not making "scumslips".

what questions have I dodged? To need to ask me them with a.question mark apart from the rest of your text.

The only question I see are what are other examples of savvy. I can't find them on my.phone. He fought with Alsn (allison?) though. Maybe you can look into that

racquetball is lame.

also you are.not excused cursing.
