I disagree the set up speculation would start again when all the Europeans wake up because your little idea was poorly managed. To me it just looks like a third party realizing they had done something silly and trying to back out of it before they are caught out without realizing their excuse puts even more focus on the stunt.

If you wanted to truly derail the thread from set up you would of kicked up a storm and not backed down for at least 24 hours. A 2 hour changeover where only mattchew posted anything significant isn't that.


People seem to be missing this. The first time he said it, he had some options in there, but now Draz seems focused on "Third Party" for Keirathi...

Not scum, but potentially third party (based on all that same speculation about setup)? You suggesting you know who IS scum, Drazerk?

Oh, so you acknowledge that your "case" against me would work similarly against yourself? Good, I'll just ignore you. If it was somehow ambiguous, I found Draz suspicious in that he seemed to have just assumed a specific subset of non-town for Keirathi.

Generally, if I see something as anti-town, I don't go saying "Oh, he must be third party". Why? Because scum is anti-town. Making a faction based guess, especially in a closed setup, beyond saying "X is acting anti-town" sounds like you're privy to some knowledge about factions, and it's probably a little early for that.

Terrible timing. I had just logged out of GW2. Believe it or not, I don't much care.

As for Gonzaw, I'm just going to ignore his ass, if anyone else would like to actually question my motives instead of just making silly assumptions so they can look active by jumping on a dumbass bandwagon, I'll happily answer them.

Especially since Gonzaw quotes my post where I explain why I think Draz was being scummy, and then asks me, in essence, to explain what he just quoted. Unless he needs it in smaller words, there's no value in responding.

Keirathi, like I said, I've been playing a LOT of GW2. Did a several hour stint of WvW today, and before that I was farming for a while.

Hiro, could you expand on why familiarity with Drazerk makes that seem less scummy?

Oh, and as for trying to be leader-y, after my dismal performance in PTP3, and worse, people listening to me while I was doing it, I'm trying to formulate more solid cases before going after people. I seem to have a knack for accidentally creating anti-town bandwagons, so I want to avoid a repeat of that.

No, it's not. I don't think that JingleHell has played with town Drazerk before. I have and I know that Drazerk is obsessed with third parties regardless of his own alignment.


That's good to know. For now, then...

I'm going to continue to wait a bit before going into heavy attack mode on anyone, though, for the reason I just gave. Fuck bandwagons and (too often my own) bad cases.

What about my other points? That Jingle comes out to post just to "appear he's contributing" and "justify himself" and seems less interested about his actual read and convincing people of it?


I find this a bit weird, "seems less interested about his actual read and convincing people of it", but he could just be busy.

Frankly, I'm more interested to hear what he has to say about other people.


Ignoring my paranoia about people bandwagoning on what could turn out to be bad reads, if I go pointing to Mattchew's actively-lurky accusation of me actively lurking, he'd just say OMGUS. Not much else he's done that's really worth analyzing, without breaking down silly things, which will always end up making someone look scummy.

Gonzaw, who's mixing a tunnel my direction, and asking for the tail to wag the dog (he keeps pointing my way, and asking everyone else to dive in before he commits any harder), would scream OMGUS if I made that into a case.

Draz, who I unvoted, I'm continuing to keep an eye on.

A lot of us, minimal posting.

If I rip into Ghost for his rather funky post that's already been commented on, people who are already looking at me based on napkin-thin logic will assume I'm trying to redirect suspicion (which, realistically, they'd say about anything probably, but still.) It's "too easy" to jump on board with that, and while I dislike the post, I'm assuming it made more sense in his head, because that's too often the case with posts that get people shredded on D1.

And I'm trying not to lead into cases based on over-analyzing one or two posts yet, because when I do that, I do a better job of persuading people than is good for town, so I'm waiting for larger patterns.

And, as always, if anyone likes one of Gonzaw's questions for me, please repeat it, because I don't feel like indulging him.

Hey people. Awake and not busy right now, and catching up with the thread. (Uh-oh, I must be active lurking, how DARE I answer stuff directed at me?)

What, exactly, are you calling a "wounded survivor" act? If you're referring to me not wasting my time answering Gonzaw directly when he's being irrational, it's not worth it. The way he's posting is pretty much 100% guaranteed to incite an argument if I answer him, which is no good to anyone.

I'm seriously starting to get paranoid about Gonzaw. He wants other people to weigh in before he commits to a course of action, he posts in a way intended to spark arguments, he doesn't give a shit who gets lynched, and he spreads suspicion around like icing on a cake.

(Incoming accusation of OMGUS in 3, 2...)

Well, sorry you don't appreciate the reason, but it's hard for it not to be foremost in my mind, this is my first game played since that performance. It was painfully embarrassing.

I'm not trying to make myself seem like a non-threat, or push my townie-ness with it, I tried to answer a (fairly valid) point, with my reason for not playing the same way. I probably over-made the point, but that can't much be helped.

I led several rather key mislynches. As town. Pushing Grush was about the least embarrassing part of my performance, because frankly, he's useless. I do wish he'd died earlier in the game, though.

I don't remember all the specifics at this point off the top of my head, but almost every time I convinced people on someone, it made the overall situation worse.

Clearly, if I make too much case out of too little, it doesn't serve the town, so I'm letting things solidify in my mind and in the thread a bit more before going into hardcore push people mode, because once I do that, there's a tendency for someone to get lynched.

Being in a town-leader-ish position is only good if I don't also get nominated as the scumteam's MVP as town for it.

How long, exactly, do you plan to wait? Theres only 7.5 hours until the deadline.


How long do I plan to wait to go into hard-push mode on someone? Until I'm reasonably confident in my assessment. I'm not going to suddenly play differently just to make you happy, so deal with it.

If you really want someone slammed into the floor, take a case and run with it, and slam someone into the floor. Don't wait for a scapegoat to lead the case.

At any rate, my favorite target right now would probably be Gonzaw, between the stuff I've already pointed to, his wishy-washy voting everywhere, and his public "Oh, the person who's most interested in me is going to be my placeholder vote, I'll be back some time after the deadline, which might make that person look scummy if they decided to push". That's survivor play, not town-win play.

In fact, speaking of such, ##Vote Gonzaw

I'd love to know where you get the absurd notion that all I've done is "make excuses". Providing my reasoning for being careful (when you yourself pressed for that reasoning to be explained no less) is hardly making excuses.

Or do you want townies to lead mislynches?

we want you to promote discussion. which exactly what discussing your reads and making cases does.


I wanted Keirathi's answer. And I have promoted and joined discussion. I'm just being less aggressive and pushy about it.

I'm noticing a trend. Both of the main people who want to lynch me are trying very hard to not be seen as the ones forcing the issue, and are basing it off of... not that much. That's Mattchew and Gonzaw, of course.

Amusingly, out of people who have talked to or about me, the one I'd be least suspicious of voting me also seems to be the one most inclined to actually wait for a good reason, and that's Keirathi.

3)Do you think ghost acting like an idiot and wanting to lynch you for mind-boggling reasons makes him scum, reckless townie trying to play the "aggressive hero" role, or is not enough to judge his alignment?

This is the harder one. I honestly don't think that ghost is an idiot. He hosted two of my three newbie games, and definitely saw the amount of effort I put into Newbie XIX within the first 12 hours of replacing in, so theoretically he should know the way I play better than anyone else in this game (I've played in one game with about half of the players in this game). So why is he acting like that? Honestly, my first thought was Village Idiot, but I'm not sure if there's a VI-type role, and I think its pointless to speculate about it so I didn't mention it. I 100% think what he has said was anti-town, though.


His whole reasoning for voting me was because I "looked through filters. and townies don't put in that much effort early in day 1". Which is such bullshit reasoning, that I can't even fathom a motivation for making it outside of VI.

if you dont think ghost is an idiot you should try to extract the actual meaning from his posts than to just take them at hastey face value.

He is saying, and I agree with, that your early "case" seemed forced and that you were faking putting in that much effort. You even agree with this when you admitted your case was bad and just meant for discussion.

do you have anything else or is your entire read based on failed reading comprehension?


ghost_403 wrote:
Looking through previous filters when there's been, what, twenty posts in this game? No, that's not something that townies do.

He didn't say I was faking putting in effort. He said that putting in that much effort early game is not something that a townie would do.

EBWOP: I guess he could have meant that he thought I was faking the effort and just making bullshit up. But that's demonstrably not the case.


If you said "Not demonstrably", I could maybe agree. Saying "demonstrably not" is a bit harder to see.

Well, it's based in misrepresenting my play now to me "not playing", when I'm actually "playing less agressively", for reasons that were explained. The inference they're using to push me is that I'm not participating, which I think is ridiculous. In particular since Mattchew isn't willing to push it, and Gonzaw insists that his vote is a convenient placeholder, and oh by the way, he'll be back after lynch, hope it doesn't go bad.

It feels completely scripted and noncommittal, although I'm sure someone will scream OMGUS at me saying that.

Instead of spreading doubt on your lynch when it isn't even close why don't you put together a post explaining your top 2 scums reads with some sort of explanation why?

Stop defending yourself at every turn and explaining yourself try to actually push a read for the lynch.


Because I already fucking did that, and people promptly ignored it and accused me of not playing, using it as motivation to push me as a target without committing to it?

There's a combination of nobody really hard-defending him and nobody just BLASTING his play here, that I don't love, but I'm not sure how you'd get either of those with what we have to work with.

What are the alternatives? (I'm not voting snb because he should be interacting with you differently)ghost/nisani/iamperfection? It feels too much like RNGing between the three.

I don't like Mattchew for scum, he's my strongest town-read right now. I don't like gonzaw for scum atm, although it'll take more time to figure that one out. I don't like me for scum, because I'm not. So those posts are out.

This is your other post where you mention a few people, and it IS the best thing in your filter. But...it doesn't really have much to it. Gonzaw tunneling you. You're keeping an eye on Drazerk. Ghost's post looks bad but you won't deal with it because we'll jump on you. You mention a lot of names, but you don't SAY anything.

How does your eye feel about Drazerk atm?
Do you think ghost's post/vote looks different or worse than iamperfection and nisani?


I don't require you to agree with my reads, or vote based on them. But to dismiss them as not playing and being scummy just because you disagree is ludicrous, especially if you aren't willing or able to argue with my reasoning for those reads.

I'm still not sure about Drazerk. He's fucking hard to read, and anything I could make on him could just as easily be over-analysis. I'm still leaning potential scum.

Also, if my strongest reads are Mattchew and Gonzaw, I'm going to focus them more. Just to be realistic, if I go accusing the entire thread of being scummy based on one or two things, it's not going to contribute to discussion either.

I recently gave a "possible town" read on Keirathi because he at least makes sense when he discusses what he finds suspicious about me. I didn't say it in as many words, but that was the intent of the post. Oh, right, that got dismissed as me throwing doubts on anyone voting me.

Ghost, I've discussed a small amount. If I was going to be worried, it would be more based on lurkiness. Usually, a one post wonder lynch target D1 turns out to be a mislynch, especially when there's so much room for interpretation in the post. If we don't see more from him, though, he'll start looking like a target.

Sorry if I don't sound particularly heavy handed regarding people who aren't my primary reads right now, but I'm not playing to make you happy, I'm playing to hunt scum.

Why do you have to feel you have to change your style if you are town? In the game i played with you i thought you played quite well and we did catch 1 scum because of mainly all of your effort. Was it just because of one bad performance?


Have you tried reading the thread, or my filter, to find the answer to that question? It's in there.

Does anyone think the JH lynch feels off to anyone else?

I can't put my finger on it...

it just feels wrong

There's a combination of nobody really hard-defending him and nobody just BLASTING his play here, that I don't love, but I'm not sure how you'd get either of those with what we have to work with.

What are the alternatives? (I'm not voting snb because he should be interacting with you differently)ghost/nisani/iamperfection? It feels too much like RNGing between the three.

Amusingly, out of people who have talked to or about me, the one I'd be least suspicious of voting me also seems to be the one most inclined to actually wait for a good reason, and that's Keirathi.


Instead of spreading doubt on your lynch when it isn't even close why don't you put together a post explaining your top 2 scums reads with some sort of explanation why?

Stop defending yourself at every turn and explaining yourself try to actually push a read for the lynch.


Because I already fucking did that, and people promptly ignored it and accused me of not playing, using it as motivation to push me as a target without committing to it?

I don't like Mattchew for scum, he's my strongest town-read right now. I don't like gonzaw for scum atm, although it'll take more time to figure that one out. I don't like me for scum, because I'm not. So those posts are out.

What about my other points? That Jingle comes out to post just to "appear he's contributing" and "justify himself" and seems less interested about his actual read and convincing people of it?


I find this a bit weird, "seems less interested about his actual read and convincing people of it", but he could just be busy.

Frankly, I'm more interested to hear what he has to say about other people.


Ignoring my paranoia about people bandwagoning on what could turn out to be bad reads, if I go pointing to Mattchew's actively-lurky accusation of me actively lurking, he'd just say OMGUS. Not much else he's done that's really worth analyzing, without breaking down silly things, which will always end up making someone look scummy.

Gonzaw, who's mixing a tunnel my direction, and asking for the tail to wag the dog (he keeps pointing my way, and asking everyone else to dive in before he commits any harder), would scream OMGUS if I made that into a case.

Draz, who I unvoted, I'm continuing to keep an eye on.

A lot of us, minimal posting.

If I rip into Ghost for his rather funky post that's already been commented on, people who are already looking at me based on napkin-thin logic will assume I'm trying to redirect suspicion (which, realistically, they'd say about anything probably, but still.) It's "too easy" to jump on board with that, and while I dislike the post, I'm assuming it made more sense in his head, because that's too often the case with posts that get people shredded on D1.

And I'm trying not to lead into cases based on over-analyzing one or two posts yet, because when I do that, I do a better job of persuading people than is good for town, so I'm waiting for larger patterns.

And, as always, if anyone likes one of Gonzaw's questions for me, please repeat it, because I don't feel like indulging him.

This is your other post where you mention a few people, and it IS the best thing in your filter. But...it doesn't really have much to it. Gonzaw tunneling you. You're keeping an eye on Drazerk. Ghost's post looks bad but you won't deal with it because we'll jump on you. You mention a lot of names, but you don't SAY anything.

How does your eye feel about Drazerk atm?
Do you think ghost's post/vote looks different or worse than iamperfection and nisani?


I don't require you to agree with my reads, or vote based on them. But to dismiss them as not playing and being scummy just because you disagree is ludicrous, especially if you aren't willing or able to argue with my reasoning for those reads.

I'm still not sure about Drazerk. He's fucking hard to read, and anything I could make on him could just as easily be over-analysis. I'm still leaning potential scum.

I don't find your reads scummy because I disagree with them. I find that POST scummy because it brings up a bunch of players, give a tiny thought on each, and moves on. There's no ... substance.


There's not much besides hunches based on small things to work with. I could go through their filter with a fine tooth comb and a negative outlook and make them look so scummy their own mothers would want to lynch them, but frankly, that's got a nasty tendency to not make good cases.

i did read it. my point is who gives a shit if you had one bad game. It takes a village and i find it strange you would completly change your style just because of that.


Because if I'm wrong and persuasive, it's BAD. As a townie in PTP3, I was probably the scum MVP. I made bad reads and good cases, and hurt the town badly. Since I don't want to repeat that, I'm hoping people will reach their own conclusions, but instead they're all looking for someone to sheep.

So Gonzaw tries to create a connection between totally unrelated votes, and Mattchew assumes that someone who didn't post for most of the first half of D1 is active lurking. This makes you decide that they're clearly worthy of sheeping, even though neither of them seems to want to be the one leading the wagon?

After all, Gonzaw called his vote a throwaway, and Mattchew keeps screaming my name and putting his vote elsewhere. Kind of like Gonzaw did at one point.

No. They're not worthy of sheeping for that, they come off town to me for that. And for the other stuff mentioned above.

It DOES seem like neither wants to lead the wagon. However, Mattchew pretty clearly wants to lead a vote on iamperfection. How is him clearly wanting to lead a lynch on someone else scummy because he won't lead a lynch on you?


It's scummy because neither of them has yet to make sense in their suspicions, neither wants to lead it, both want to direct suspicion at me, and both have demonstrated willingness to sheep onto me for little to no reason.

That looks less like scumhunting and more like avoiding suspicion. Avoiding suspicion is, at best, a null tell, and certainly not validation for strong town reads.

You think...Mattchew is pursuing iamperfection this hard, not because he wants to hunt scum, but because he wants to avoid suspicion?


Pursuing him hard? He wasn't the first. Here's his "analysis".

This post clearly mis-reads what ghost is trying to say and jumps on him with a hyperbole and what feels like a very fake sense of confidence. The way this post is worded is not as much anger as much as it reads "grab your pitchforks and bandwagon with me"

After this, his teeth are sunk into ghost, and he is afraid to move. He also has failed to comment on literally anyone else in the thread. His reasoning is bad, his contributions are next to nothing.

Honestly I don't think anything more needs to be written. Enough time has past for iamperfection to comment on other players, or contribute to actual discussion. His reasoning for pushing a ghost lynch is bad and grasping at straws.

Why am I voting iamperfection over others? He, ghost, and nisani all seem in the same boat where they just dropped votes on someone for weak reasoning and left. Between them, we can't have the whole time, but I like finding a mafia in there.

iamperfection doesn't seem to care about anything other than ghost's vote

ghost doesn't seem to care about anything other than keirathi's early game effort and...HiroPro? While I agree that the hiro = town comment doesn't feel scummy, how is ghost as a scum player? Half of his posts are just questions to HiroPro and then ducking out. I don't see a scum agenda behind what he asked and what hero answered, it was just "what is happening/what are your reads," but I dislike that he only engages a single person in the thread.

nisani hasn't done anything since Drazerk reacted to Keirathi's initial unvote. Actually...nisani reads the towniest of the three to me?

As a bonus answer, Nisani is the other person (besides ghost) that I am particularly interested in right now. I feel like him jumping in to defend me against Drazerk because I was a "newbie" was taking advantage of an easy situation.

I recently played a game on another forum where I was pushed hard throughout the entire game because I made a small "newbie mistake" at the beginning. This game seems very similar and I don't want us to make the same mistake.

Not sure what to think of ghost, I think it's pretty stupid for anyone to vote Kei. I'm also not sure why drazerk took his vote off kei, since it doesn't look like anything really changed his mind.

I also think that Mementoss's "analysis" post was really stupid. It was a bad case on austin and the other half was him calling people town. He's on my radar but I'm still more confident in Drazerk.

doesn't flip out when someone is looking at him. Gives some thoughts on other players, although they're tremendously small.

Seriously. That post, that tiny answer, is basically the towniest thing I find in any of those three filters. Why am I lynching iamperfection over the other two? I don't give ghost as many town points as you do for his hiro post, and I find his hiro fascination odd.


I'm more concerned with JH. I think you were right in noting that he de-lurked right after getting called out. But where you say he's explaining this thought process thoroughly, I disagree. I'm not sure I get the change between PTP3 and here, maybe I didn't read the early days of PTP3 close enough to see this, but I remember JH in PTP3 being standoffish and unwilling to do anything but push single players. Being passive certainly provides an alternative playstyle to that, but it's not actually...doing anything. It doesn't seem to actually be BETTER or anything than PTP3 JH, and I'd expect someone who was unhappy with a bad performance to want to follow it up with a good performance, which this isn't. This is just excuses for NO performance.

ghost has provided opinions confidently. Do you feel that he is hiding something or just doesnt care about adding in extended explainations?

Nisani is more of a meta read for me, but I see him play like this a decent amount

Iamperfection is purposefully ignoring the rest of the thread and is not trying to actually help town with anything useful or anything that resembles effort.

JH as i have said, is a lynch I would support but I would much rather lynch iamperfection

Wow, that's such strong pressure! Including a desire to get OTHER people to provide a rationale for it.

This looks more like fake scumhunting than real. Sheeping, asking others to contribute to his paper thin case, and making noise about a lack of contribution. The exact same formula he used to jump on me.

In other words, yeah right. Hell, at this point, I'm convincing myself to vote Mattchew over Gonzaw...

Well, speaking of not assuming what scum would or wouldn't do... since we're in the realm of pure, unadulterated WIFOM from the purest sense of the word, it's also good for scum to push lynch targets. Since people assume that's not scum behavior, since it can be harder to keep things straight, it lets you hide in plain sight.

Everything and nothing is scummy in Mafia.

Well, that was kind of my point. Literally any and every action can be both scummy and townie, depending on individual perceptions. There's no such thing as a "safe" scum action, since all it takes is one persuasive individual perceiving things correctly.

I do think it's silly how Austin is still hung up on my "False premise" regarding Mattchew, when we're basically discussing how there's no such thing as a false premise in Mafia.

Unless you're gonna flip red here and prove me wrong, there are some posts that just don't come from townies.

Not that every townie every game posts something that shows he/she's town, but sometimes they pop up. Haven't been wrong about one yet.


Well, I'm less worried about being flipped than I am about the possibility of flipping with people not seeing the attack on me in the correct light. Dying as a townie can be irksome, but it can say a lot about the people in the game.

In PTP3, for example, early-ish, I was after Mattchew pretty hard. I was a townie. My power had randomly redirected his vigi shot. His claim looked really awkward, but then I claimed my role, to keep him from getting lynched for the wrong reason.

If there's anything worse than townies being wrong, it's deliberately ignoring possible information.

That, however, is exactly what you're doing. Regardless of the reason, you consider my concept of someone wanting to push without seeming to lead a push as insane, impossible, or improbable. That's disregarding a conclusion that the facts can lead to, even when we've just recently discussed that due to WIFOM, every action can be scummy or not scummy.

@Keir: I'll give you something to argue about as soon as I'm done writing it. Still convinced Nisani is scum?

I wouldn't say that I'm convinced that he is scum. But yes, he is the person I feel strongest about. His posts regarding me reek of someone with extra information.


You're one of one person currently on that vote, best of my knowledge. If you're so convinced he's scum, why aren't you pushing for it in the thread?

What else can I say? I voted for him, and tried to get people to read why and comment on it, but I was just ignored. Everyone is just giving him a null read (or maybe slightly scummy, but not enough to vote). So I settled for talking about the other ongoing cases and deciding if I find someone scummier than Nisani. I haven't yet.

EBWOP: What I mean is, the case isn't gaining traction, and I don't think I have enough to convince anyone off of their null reads to vote for him. He has very little in the way of content for people to analyze. Its getting down to crunch time and we're going to have to consolidate onto someone at some point. Last I looked, there were literally votes on 8 out of the 13 players. Continuing to push someone that isn't going to get lynched is useless.


We don't have to consolidate at all. Greymist is just being confusing.

This game is a simple majority lynch. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.


From the OP. The description includes the word majority, but it's a simple majority, with the description not matching what we think of as "Majority lynch".

@Keir: I'll give you something to argue about as soon as I'm done writing it. Still convinced Nisani is scum?

I wouldn't say that I'm convinced that he is scum. But yes, he is the person I feel strongest about. His posts regarding me reek of someone with extra information.


You're one of one person currently on that vote, best of my knowledge. If you're so convinced he's scum, why aren't you pushing for it in the thread?

What else can I say? I voted for him, and tried to get people to read why and comment on it, but I was just ignored. Everyone is just giving him a null read (or maybe slightly scummy, but not enough to vote). So I settled for talking about the other ongoing cases and deciding if I find someone scummier than Nisani. I haven't yet.

EBWOP: What I mean is, the case isn't gaining traction, and I don't think I have enough to convince anyone off of their null reads to vote for him. He has very little in the way of content for people to analyze. Its getting down to crunch time and we're going to have to consolidate onto someone at some point. Last I looked, there were literally votes on 8 out of the 13 players. Continuing to push someone that isn't going to get lynched is useless.


We don't have to consolidate at all. Greymist is just being confusing.

This game is a simple majority lynch. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.


From the OP. The description includes the word majority, but it's a simple majority, with the description not matching what we think of as "Majority lynch".

Yes, I realize that. Its basically plurality.

That doesn't mean we don't need to consolidate. Having votes out on 2/3 of the players in the game just gives scum a place to hide. IMO, we need a polarized vote so that scum are forced to pick a side and justify it.


So that we can argue WIFOM with each other regarding what votes mean, when the scum team will actually be divided anyways most likely?

No, the main reason I could imagine seeing that as critical would be if we were at MYLO, to make it a little harder for scum to swing last minute.

Those are both discussing specific situations, where consolidation might have benefited the town directly, from what I can tell.

It's a nice theory, but it still comes down to "Do you believe X's reason to vote for Y is legitimate?" "Do you believe X is scum?"

As a counterpoint, "Consolidation" provides the perfect excuse to hop wagons without a valid reason. "Everyone wanted to consolidate, and I felt like X was slightly scummier than Y. Blame Q for suggesting we consolidate, not me!"

There's never guarantees, and anything can be turned to an advantage by anyone, if the circumstances and argument are right.

I don't think one option or the other is inherently any better. At least if you don't push for consolidation, then people who choose to consolidate might still face serious pressure to explain a mislynch vote.

Luckily, Gonzaw is an arrogant dipshit who forgets that while he was wishy-washy tunneling me, he was actually just throwing around throwaway votes and has no room to "I told you so" anyone, or expect to be treated as town for his vote.

Let's get him tomorrow, gents.

Or am I supposed to ignore his tone in his post and bathe in good feelings because he agreed that I'm town while he spewed all sorts of shit?

"Town you impress me" is kind of the opposite of "I told you so".

No. Calm down, read the thread carefully, stop being so biased and arrogant and think.
After you've done that come back and consider lynching me again. I won't take you seriously until you do


@S&B: Dude, start posting NOW or I'll do everything in my power to kill you.
If I can ever be justified in tunneling the hell out of you in any game we play together it's in this one. You only have 7 freaking posts, 4 of them having less than 3 lines.


@Crossfire: You know, the fact that you forgot it's plurality lynch and not majority lynch actually makes you look worse, since you parked your vote on iamperfection and left. If you were scum maybe you thought there would be a NL so you thought iamperfection was safe before disappearing.

Is this the case? I don't know. If you don't give more thorough reads and actively participate in discussion while giving your thoughts on things discussed and your thought process (<-most important one) I and the rest of town can't know for sure.


The only irony here is that you start talking shit (which, thankfully, came well AFTER I pointed to your earlier, lighter efforts at inflammation) and then act like I'm being unreasonable when I turn it around on you.

Oh, and maybe the fact that you're trying to use my defense that you clearly hated against me now. QQ much? No, you're caught, give it up. It wouldn't be the first time that a soft bus wasn't enough to buy someone town cred. Byebye.

You are not making any sense Jingle.
Although good job in convincing me you are bad town rather than scum
I guess that means you are not actually playing that "bad"? >_>
Hell if I know.


You're relying on an ad hominem attack against me to defend against my solidifying case, even though you trying to be inflammatory was a point I made before your recent attempts.

You're actually helping make my case. And since I don't need to convince you you're scum, just everyone else, feel free to keep it up.

Ad homs aren't cases, and they're not defenses, but it's all you have. Cheers.

I'm not the one trying to create clutter here, you're the one who's acting like I should convince YOU that you're scum, when all I need is to get other people to vote for you. You flipping red will speak for itself. Keeping me engaged in an argument where all you want to do is insult me is clearly a good thing for you, as scum.

If you want to ignore me, except to throw insults around in an effort to make me look bad so people won't see it and agree, please, just ignore me, it's much better for the thread. That's what I'll be doing for a while, at least until you show some actual reasoning.

JH, what are your reads on Keirathi and mementoss?

Also, I'm trying to follow this spat between you and Gonzaw. You think the early vote on iamperfection and then unvote was a bus attempt that he gave up on? I see a lot of quick responses, but I don't see a coherent summation of why you're finding him scummy based on what he's done.


I think it was a soft bus. Common enough. He was accusing lots of people, vanished with a "throwaway" vote on me, was trying to incite hostilities (and temporarily succeeded, unfortunately) which can only benefit scum, as it makes it hard for his primary detractor to make a case, and hurts logic and reason. His case on me sounded like something grush would come up with, and all of a sudden he's sure I'm town, but that I'm so bad nobody should listen to me.

Yeah, I think he's scum. I don't particularly feel like doing a cut/paste fest to support this, but I can if needed. I just expect a lot of people to react to his inflammatory attitude and ad homs by ignoring anything I put together on him, so it'd be a lot of work for nothing.

Give me a few minutes, and I'll put my thoughts on Keirathi and Memen into proper light.

Ok, Memen, some reasonable town cred for being early on perfection and staying there. With the split voting, he could have reasonably justified bailing to save such a badass power role if he'd have wanted to.

Keirathi, on the other hand, feels like he knew in advance. He was fairly non-committal with his words, but definitely not feeling it enough to vote. That's a reasonable scum tactic with that sort of lynch. Also, he was pushing consolidation, which might have rescued perfection.

Why exactly do you find that performance embarrassing, and how is it driving you to play the way you are this game? Is it just the constant pushing of Grush and trying to get people on that lynch?

RESPONSE TO MATTCHEW ON IAMPERFECTION

I'm more concerned with JH. I think you were right in noting that he de-lurked right after getting called out. But where you say he's explaining this thought process thoroughly, I disagree. I'm not sure I get the change between PTP3 and here, maybe I didn't read the early days of PTP3 close enough to see this, but I remember JH in PTP3 being standoffish and unwilling to do anything but push single players. Being passive certainly provides an alternative playstyle to that, but it's not actually...doing anything. It doesn't seem to actually be BETTER or anything than PTP3 JH, and I'd expect someone who was unhappy with a bad performance to want to follow it up with a good performance, which this isn't. This is just excuses for NO performance.

has me convinced. If he really feels like he played poorly in PTP3, then the solution is to address the "poorly" part of that, rather than the "played" part. Being non-participatory isn't a better route.


You include stuff like that with no reference to Gonzaw on JH, not referencing my prior posts on JH, and then say you have to leave thread.


I'd say if you sheeped anyone regarding me, it would have felt more like you sheeped Mattchew. But really, you were one of the people who at least sounded sane in your suspicions, and overall, you were thinking for yourself, so even if your intial reaction was sheep-ish, your continued interest couldn't be called that.

Hmm, okay people, what do you guys think about lynching one of these guys:
JingleHell
Mementos
Nisani
CrossFire
austin
iamperfection

And if you'd switch to one of them, why would you do it?

Like I said before I have that same "weird" feeling about them, but again it seems none of them other than Mementos decided to show up to contribute at all.
It wouldn't bother me too much since it's D1, but we are getting too close to the lynch deadline and we have to choose a lynch.

We have like 0 information on the table, so it's VERY likely this lynch will be a misslynch, specially if there's some incognito scum in the group of Mementos/Hiro/Keirathi/(me lol)/etc that are driving discussion.

But fuck what else can we do, right?

I'm leaving in like 20 minutes and wondering if I should put my placeholder (or basically lynch vote) onto someone else.
I'm gonna eat now....so convince me people


Any reason for leaving out mattchew, strongandbig, hiropro, keirathi, drazerk? lol you can't make a list with 6/12 players (not including yourself) That is way too broad, you can't think they are all scum, and its way too easy for scum just to pick one that is not scum and go hey look, why 6 players instead of maybe 3.

Jingle is town, but he's bad. Bolded bad. Chill out, don't OMGUS, pay attention and don't get all cocky and arrogant and spam the thread with those defenses of yours.
The way you argued and interacted with people and the way you kept "shitting things up" even though it was obvious you should have stopped doing that as scum makes me think there's a chance you can be town, so take that chance and try to play better.

ghost and Nisani are likely scum I think, Mementos and Crossfire are there too.

ghost/Nisani/Mementos/Crossfire/Drazerk

I think all remaining scum are in there

Small reasoning here (I have to do some shit, and will have to consolidate a post of mine with all my thoughts and shit and that may take a while, so this is the tl;dr version):

ghost:
Yes, I had a "gut" feeling his initial posts may have been from "trolling" townie....but I get the gut feeling he's using scum tactics to pile onto Keirathi there. That post of his reeks of "I'm scum trying to make a case against someone I really want suspicion on".
No comments about iamperfection's interactions with him and viceversa.
Will read him fully later.
Nisani:
His "comeback" post was too fluffy and didn't contribute at all. He's not part of discussions at all, and doesn't even try to be.
"Not part of discussions"->Easiest heuristic for finding scum/town.
"Nisani is not part of discussions"->It's more likely he's scum.
Mementos:
He didn't do anything at all throughout D1. Same heuristic here as well, he hasn't been part of any discussion even though he was active (like when ghost asked him a question).
He didn't heavily push iamperfection so his vote on him doesn't mean anything, specially since unvoting him would not change anything.
Still, it doesn't seem right that he'd bus his scummate that early and never try to shift attention to some other townie, so I'll keep that in mind.
Crossfire:
This guy HAS to be scum. He has done 0 contributions at all and spent 70% of his post "joking" with Drazerk about how he's "confused" about him.
Drazerk:
Doesn't contribute and just skates by. Like I said he's likely to do the same as town because of the style of his play; but as time goes by it only increases the chances of him being scum.
Maybe S&B:
I dunno, I'll have to wait if he decides to be useful or not.

About Keirathi:
This dude is active as fuck, I heavily doubt he's scum at all nor even 3rd party.
Like I said before, there are some subtle things that make him town (like the same things that make Hiro town). Specially his attitude, activity and interactions with other people.

Everybody that's suspicious of him reread his filter and the D1 thread, and then tell me in the eyes he's scum (and not just townie that made mistakes) and explain why.


Yeah this is a shitty post, I'll be back later


P.S: See? This is why you always pay attention to Mattchew. Even if he's scum he 100% busses all his teammates so you are bound to kill any scum he points fingers at.


wat

Didn't do anything

First one to post a case on Iamperfection and make a case

Also, what timing. No posting since you left but you manage to make it back 50 minutes after the night post. But nothing before the deadline.

Also this last post before you take off for the rest of the day struck me as odd. Pretty weak reason to switch/ odd timing:

S&B I'm torn off but wouldn't want lynched since I know he steps up his game after N1 (as seen in like all games I've been with him as town).
Drazerk is Drazerk, I see no reason to think he's scum and lynch him right now.

Yes, it's easy for scum to pick any townie from that list at random and point fingers, but there's no reason to believe him.
I trust some people here more than others, and it's the opinion of those that I'll take into account to determine my choice.
The "scummy" people would be forced to choose so I can see how they interact and contribute, but not to completely sway my opinion.

Well, tough luck I'm leaving right now.
You know what, fuck it:

##Unvote: iamperfection
##Vote: JingleHell

I don't really buy that "the world is against me" attitude and I haven't seen any contribution from him other than his scummy read on Drazerk (maybe his unvote is not that scummy, but it's the only thing I can go on).

Take into account that's a rash vote/placeholder, but oh well.

So long people!


Also the tone in your posts don't seem like your town self.

i just find it very strange how quickly you are willing to jump on gonzaw cause of meme pushing him, while not jumping on austin for the same reason..


One, I was already thinking Gonzaw was scummy, Meme, it seems, had similar doubts. Austin I was on the fence about, and if you'll notice, Meme's post even ADMITS that Austin has what can be taken as fair explanations, so it's down to whether you accept those explanations. Which is why I'm digging through them later.

Got to run out the door time now, though, just finished getting my shit together to go. Cheers.

My thoughts on Austinmcc:

When I think of everyone in the game the person that sticks out most to me as scum is austinmcc.
I realize that most of these points were explained by austin, but any decent scum player can explain things after the fact of doing them. So I figured id sum up my thoughts in this post.

1. Goes from not thinking Keirthia is not scummy, to super scummy in less than 2 hours apart. He doesn't call Keirathi scummy however, he just finds it weird, even though the way austinmcc is posting it seems like he thinks he caught keirathi in a lie. Doesn't vote for him.


2. Keeps implying finding keirathi but is too scared to actually place a vote on him, even after complaining about people not consolidating on the votes. Wouldn't austin want to place a vote on keirathi and start pushing him now?? Nope. No fucks were given by austin about keirathis lynch.

Alright, done some rereading. My number 1 concern at this point is the number of side squabbles and useless votes that we've got. Previous votecount had 6 people with votes, and I think we're still about as spread out as we were before. Stuff like:

Drazerk/snb very interested in each other. Both voting each other, in part, based on what seems to be "He should understand my play better." I don't want to lynch either of them today, and telling me that some other player should understand you better doesn't make me want to lynch that other guy. The votes feel entirely wasted.

ghost's vote is wasted. Votes keirathi for trying too hard, never engages anyone else who's talking about keirathi.

Well, sorry you don't appreciate the reason, but it's hard for it not to be foremost in my mind, this is my first game played since that performance. It was painfully embarrassing.

I'm not trying to make myself seem like a non-threat, or push my townie-ness with it, I tried to answer a (fairly valid) point, with my reason for not playing the same way. I probably over-made the point, but that can't much be helped.

Why exactly do you find that performance embarrassing, and how is it driving you to play the way you are this game? Is it just the constant pushing of Grush and trying to get people on that lynch?

I appreciate things getting off to a nice start, but really? Was I the only person who assumed that Keirathi didn't actually have some giant scumread on Mattchew? Given the reasons that he decided to vote mattchew (amg mattchew has used the term town and hasn't claimed a role that doesn't exist), I don't see the unvote as scummy. Vote for weak reasons, unvote for weak reasons.

Drazerk you ACTUALLY think it's anti-town to do that?

I didn't see your unvote for weak reasons as scummy. Drazerk had just posted that it was third party or idiot, I didn't find it to be telling at all because the reasoning behind the vote in the first place didn't seem strong.

Then after that post, you give your explanation and justification. THAT is what I feel is scummy, reminds me of scum. I'm not concerned about you unvoting based on some weak comments from matt (What drazerk mentioned and what I didn't find scummy), I'm concerned about you based on your later explanation where you claim to have wanted discussion and opinions yet unvote before any of that ever appears.


Right now, I'm scummy on you. I'm not going to lead a crusade to lynch you because the way you explained a plan reminds of what a scum player in another game did, however. For now I'm looking elsewhere for today's lynch, and I'm watching you. I'm alright with the way you discussed Ghost when talking to Gonzaw, I don't think someone can get a free pass for a terrible vote and then not pushing it at all.

If you want me to keep looking at you, fine. What's up with this?

I led several rather key mislynches. As town. Pushing Grush was about the least embarrassing part of my performance, because frankly, he's useless. I do wish he'd died earlier in the game, though.

I don't remember all the specifics at this point off the top of my head, but almost every time I convinced people on someone, it made the overall situation worse.

Clearly, if I make too much case out of too little, it doesn't serve the town, so I'm letting things solidify in my mind and in the thread a bit more before going into hardcore push people mode, because once I do that, there's a tendency for someone to get lynched.

Being in a town-leader-ish position is only good if I don't also get nominated as the scumteam's MVP as town for it.

How long, exactly, do you plan to wait? Theres only 7.5 hours until the deadline.

You've been doing more in thread, but it seems like you're getting on JH for saying he's doing exactly what you've said you're doing. Why is it fine for you to wait to scumhunt until you've got enough to make a case, but it's not alright for JH to wait before pushing someone?



3. The vote on imperfection when mattchew told him to. It wasn't serious, but yet he has been withholding voting keirathi all day but can vote iamperfection, I know it was a joke, but it was an odd post, lumping nisani ghost and iamperfection into one boat. Maybe to confuse people into bandwagoning on another? Clearly you could differentiate between them. Austin never bothered to comment on iamperfections rockband meta even though we just finished that game a week ago and he was in it. Avoiding the fact? Wants to limit the discussion on Iamperfection? Hell he didn't even mention him at all before this joke post.

4. After pointing out keirathis scumminess all day, austin sheeps under gonzaws wing and votes jinglehell for weak reasoning, and then unvotes him for even weaker reasoning which struck me again as not giving a fuck who was lynched.

4. Town reads on Mattchew and Gonzaw. Explained to the max. This just gives me the wrong feeling and reminds me of Palmar from rockband to a bigger extreme. I know he was asked to do this, but the extent he did it, espeically on day 1 town reads. It seems like he actually knows their alignments. This time coulda been spent scum hunting, or provoking some sort of discussion. No one was even thinking of voting either of these two atm, so why give a huge town read on them? Who are you convincing? Who does this help for day 1?

Care to give some reasoning for those reads?



On Mattchew, it's a couple of his posts. In particular, this one:

I'd just mentioned not liking drazerk/snb being so focused on each other:

Drazerk/snb very interested in each other. Both voting each other, in part, based on what seems to be "He should understand my play better." I don't want to lynch either of them today, and telling me that some other player should understand you better doesn't make me want to lynch that other guy. The votes feel entirely wasted.
The fact that Mattchew was similarly critical gives me a townie feel. Drazerk's questions the last couple of pages have been good. I hope he would be playing the same way regardless of my comment or matt's comment, I don't think they influenced him, but he and snb being so focused on each other wasn't really helping town based on the reasoning they were providing.

His iamperfection question to me felt townie. It's...an odd way to phrase something as scum? Like, you can just say "What is your read?" or "Would you vote iamperfection?" Instead he asks why I'm not voting with him, just an odd little bit of creativity. scumMatt from what I'm seen is either disinterested or...claims scum. Creative questions don't fit the bill for either of those.

He's continued to pursue iamperfection, in a noticeably different way than the early voters that I've been critical of. Whereas ghost/nisani just left the thread, and iamperfection stayed focused on ghost, Mattchew has been actively commenting on other matters, has been asking questions to others, has been trying to get iamperfection lynched. It stands out so differently from behavior that I'm finding scummy in others.


The gonzaw read is weaker, but the way he returned to thread feels like he was being gonzaw-y. Spammy, finding lots of little stuff, talking about it. In particular, things like this:

If you wanted to truly derail the thread from set up you would of kicked up a storm and not backed down for at least 24 hours. A 2 hour changeover where only mattchew posted anything significant isn't that.


People seem to be missing this. The first time he said it, he had some options in there, but now Draz seems focused on "Third Party" for Keirathi...

Not scum, but potentially third party (based on all that same speculation about setup)? You suggesting you know who IS scum, Drazerk?

##Vote Drazerk


Both of them rarely posted before that, and came out of nowhere with a vote on Drazerk of all people. Then none of them stuck around discussing their read on Drazerk and just disappeared.

First, let it be clear that I don't get the feeling both are scum (since I doubt both would act exactly the same way as scum), but it's a possibility if you guys want to discuss it.
What I think of it is.....scummy and weird.

I didn't see any of them invested in discussions, specially not in discussions concerning Keirathi and Drazerk. They just came, parked their vote on the "easy" target ("easy" in relative terms) and left. I see no town motivation at all in parking your vote and disappearing before discussing your reasoning with other people and waiting to see what others have to say.


However, I could let Nisani pass, since he did minimally discuss his read of Drazerk later (it was 1 post, but at least it was something). Plus it's Nisani and I can see him acting like that as town.
I like finding odd interactions or posts. This was one of those...interesting finds. Not necessarily scummy, but worth noting. He noted it, explained why he was interested, and then went further later in the post to vote JH after adding in some other stuff. I like that he pulled out a weird interaction, didn't completely disregard it, didn't blast anyone for it, but used it to look further at someone.

I would talk with you but I exhausted my major reads when you asked earlier, so I'll just make some quick comments:

s&b: hardcore lurking. I honestly expect more from him.

austin: weird flip-flop on me, and again not as active as I would expect

Mementoss: null. I'm curious what about him gives you a weird feeling? Your only mentions of him so far are in passing, or asking other people questions.

iamperfection: slight meta-based town read, despite his lurkiness.



The "weird" feeling I had about Mementos was that 1st post of his. His reasoning to vote austin didn't seem that good to me (although I don't really want to get into it right now), and it seemed he picked him out of nowhere. The worst thing is that that post of his made me think "wow, so it seems Mementos will be active and contribute" but he never followed up with anything later.

Just how I found Jingle suspicious because Jingle FoSed Drazerk and then did absolutely nothing to push his read, I find Mementos suspicious for doing the same to austin. He parked his vote on him, then disappeared only to sporadically make irrelevant one-liners and completely forget about austin.

It may be that he was having 2nd doubts on austin but was not really sure if he wanted to unvote him or not and thus kept his vote (which I guess is what happened with Jingle, and basically what happened with me some time ago), but there's almost no indication of that from him and that doesn't justify his lack of contributions since then

As I read it, he's concerned with mementoss's post on me. Instead of straight-up saying that, or directly confronting mementoss, he just sort of asks this minor question. What are you doing with it now?

It shows me that he's trying to piece things together, that he's actively thinking about alignments. He could have burst in with "this post makes me feel weird," but he doesn't, and dangling that question out without giving a full read comes of townie to me.



5. Finally votes keirathi!! But with only 45 minutes till lynch deadline.... Why?! WHY?! When he has clearly been on him and thought he was scum all day he waits till 45 minutes left to try and lynch him. I'll tell you why, because Iamperfection his teamate the godfather the jack of all trades glados was about to die.


6. Heres the cheery on top, Austin at the first of this quote says hes considering me active scum team. He spends the whole post on me, just defending himself. He never touches any scum motivation when writing about me. The purpose of this post was not to get people to think im scum, it was to put himself in the clear. At the end of his post he contradicts the start of his post and says im not getting a strong scum read on him.


7. Is aware he plays scummy on day 1, but has no motivation to change it. This is really just an excuse for acting scummy while being scum.

I gotta go now. But that is all I have. Austin has had some townie posts in his filter I will admit, but the strange way he goes about things makes me think he is scum. His contradictions that he doesn't think are contradictions make me think he is scum.




I think the chunks I left might be worth building a case around. Bolded/underlined him pointing to a possible connection involving Gonzaw (and Mattchew, but for now, giving Matt BOTD for reasons already stated).

I think a lot of the rest of it is down to how you read it, and didn't find those chunks particularly noteworthy compared to what I left.

I don't think a scum Austin and a scum Gonzaw are at all mutually exclusive, and I'd lynch either at the moment on the current evidence, but I prefer Gonzaw just because one of his scumslips happened to be inflammatory comments directed at me, which will make it more gratifying.

Ok, for anyone who just missed it... Gonzaw just thanked scum for shooting a "suspect" in Mementoss, even though I don't think he was anywhere near the top of most sane scumlists.

By that rationale, there's only two ways scum didn't shoot a "suspect", and that's if they shot one of their own, or nobody at all.

Just to add to the pile of reasons I prefer killing him before Austin. Plus, of course, he casually dismisses the possibility of Austin wanting Mementoss dead a bit ago.

It is entirely possible a scum austin would kill mementos to avoid the pressure and then say "I wouldn't do that as scum"....but really I haven't really seen that happen when non-vet-players are concerned (i.e if it was wbg or Ace or something I wouldn't just shrug it off).


Look, he says Austin probably wouldn't do that. But then, Austin doesn't have to when Gonzaw can do it for him.

Jingle, I just want you to answer me this:

You are willing to entertain the idea that 2 of the most active players, and most contributors (in a way) are scum but you won't entertain the idea that guys that didn't do shit on D1 or N1, where never around, didn't care about discussion or the lynch at all, and the only contribution they had was 1 post with a "list" of reads that were full of fluff aren't?

Entertain the idea please, at least so you pay attention to them. If you think they are town and me or austin scum then please state so


I don't think activity is even remotely alignment indicative, but generally, I think people who have near-modkill experiences every day of the game are less likely to be scum.

And at what point was I ambiguous about you and Austin being my favorite two lynch candidates right now? Pretty sure I made that abundantly clear. But then, you keep ignoring things you aren't actively working with in the thread, almost like you're only situationally interested, which is scum behavior.

Hey, didn't I mention that before?

Yeah. How DARE we suggest possible connections between players?

Ignore it from everyone if you like, even I wasn't doing that, I was happy to take your questions if someone sane repeated them. So if I'm "bad town" what does that make you?

Remember, we don't make a case against you to convince you. Just everyone else. So a complete refusal to defend (rather than waiting to see if you actually need to) is just one more scummy thing to mention. Especially when it's kinda hypocritical.

He seems much more like overconfident townie that "already figured the scum team out" and doesn't care about anything else but his ego.
I don't think his attitude and activity is something he'd fake as scum.

Remember that at some points he was just posting and posting and posting and posting. That'd take A LOT of trouble as scum to fake, specially if it doesn't seem to further any real scum agenda other than "keep shitting on gonzaw/Mattchew", which like I said isn't really a good scum agenda anyways.

What about my point about the p-body smurf in the caller game before roles went out?

I gave 4 options when I said why I believed him. That he is telling the truth just makes the most sense. More often than not, the simple answer is the correct one, in my experience.


No, you gave ME two options. You said I must just be dense or scum, because I either believe he randomly made something up based on either X or Y.

That ignores the possibility of safe claims, third party, or all kinds of stuff.

Your "YOU MUST BE USELESS OR SCUM FOR DARING TO DISAGREE WITH ME" is an emotional reaction seeking and otherwise generally scummy tactic, but even so, I'm at least giving you the BOTD that you could just be absurdly egocentric.

Hey SNB, didn't you flip complete apeshit about me and VE wanting to lynch Grush for being useless in PTP3? Didn't you try to get VE lynched for it?

Awkward...


three differences:

1. I don't actively hate grush. I'm admitting that emotion is involved here.
2. I also think Drazerk is scum, because of the circular reasoning thing I've talked about before, and because of the way he was flipping his vote around day 1.
3. I'm not saying "we should be lynching drazerk right now instead of scumhunting other people," which was my problem with VE's policy lynch on grush. If you notice, my vote isn't even on drazerk right now. I just think we should be aware that he's not trying to help town and I think he should die for it.


The fact is, you accused VE of being scummy for it on multiple occasions, and called it completely scummy to try and kill someone just for being bad or being someone you dislike playing with.

Now you're pushing Draz for the same reason. By your own logic, it's scum behavior, so we should lynch you for it...

Or, in your own words...

are you serious right now?

you'd rather policy lynch grush?

you know we do have actual discussion of scum candidates going on right now, even if the cases aren't great neither are the responses so there's plenty of ground for a real lynch

and almost certainly like a million vigs in this game

and you want to policy lynch grush??????

Are you completely ignoring what I just said about "not trying to get us to policy lynch drazerk" and "how I'm voting nisani instead of him right now"? Please explain to me how I'm pushing the scum agenda of "getting people complacent about a policy lynch" when I'm also re-bringing-up some evidence for why he's scum, as well as I'm voting for one of the other two lynch candidates and saying we should scumhunt at people other than drazerk as well as him? None of that are things that VE and you were doing with the grush thing. You were just saying "grush is bad let's kill him." That's different.


The fact that you're trying to push something you've called scummy, while your vote is entirely elsewhere, just suggests you might not be concerned with where the lynch lands. There's two sides to every coin, things can look scummy or not.

And yes, I'm choosing to see scummy. Your point? You going to keep using a mixture of insults and QQ to try and change people's votes?

@JH:

So you think it makes more sense that either he randomly picked the name pbody for his partner, or he saw the pbody smurf and made up an elaborate story and exact role details, than it does him actually telling the truth? I don't know if you're just being ginormously dense, or scum. Because in no way does that scenario make sense to me.


Suggesting there's only two possible options, one of which must be true, neither of which is pleasant, is a logical fallacy. It's like asking me when I started cheating on my wife.

You're ignoring all kinds of random possible options, purely for the sake of discrediting me. You trying Gonzaw's style? You'll notice I don't give a rats fuck about what he tells me to vote either.

I gave 4 options when I said why I believed him. That he is telling the truth just makes the most sense. More often than not, the simple answer is the correct one, in my experience.


No, you gave ME two options. You said I must just be dense or scum, because I either believe he randomly made something up based on either X or Y.

That ignores the possibility of safe claims, third party, or all kinds of stuff.

Your "YOU MUST BE USELESS OR SCUM FOR DARING TO DISAGREE WITH ME" is an emotional reaction seeking and otherwise generally scummy tactic, but even so, I'm at least giving you the BOTD that you could just be absurdly egocentric.

Yea, you're right. I think you either have to be an idiot or scum to want to lynch a claimed KP-reduction role, especially if what he says is true about ATLAS-Pbody interactions. He's basically a double-shot medic every night until he eats enough KP to die.

If he's still alive in a couple of days, then maybe you have a case. Right now, all I see are two people hard pushing to get a claimed blue role lynched. Which, as I well know, is something that scum JingleHell would do.


Uhm, if you mean Newbie XVIII, wasn't that a fakeclaim, and rather blatant? Oh yeah, it was.

As was discussed, there's plenty of reasons not to trust the claim, and to think he's scummy, so I think you're an idiot or scum to be so absolutist. Besides, who wanted consolidation D1?

Nisani seems too easy. Nobody is interested in my scum reads yet, I can at least understand a vote for SNB, so I consolidated. Make up your fucking mind. Or did consolidate mean "Do what I fucking tell you"?

Of course, yesterday you were SO right about perfection...

You're right, he was fake-claiming. AS A TOWNIE. And you, as scum, knew that he was town and pushed the lynch. This feels an awful lot the same.

Maybe you could explain your read on Nisani a bit then? Considering the only time you've even mentioned him in your entire filter is when you said "I'd rather see SNB than Nisani" as you consolidated onto him.

And I would argue that this is the exact opposite of an "easy" lynch. Its 6 votes to 4. That's a pretty polarized town.


Uhm, the point, Keirathi, is that the dead townie in XVIII happened because he blatantly fakeclaimed. Just because I've succesefully done it once as scum (hey, by the way, earlier this game wasn't I suspicious for NOT being aggressive and leadery, you hypocritical little scum who really didn't want perfection dead yesterday?) doesn't mean I'm doing it now.

It worked then because he was scummy, and scum usually push mislynches based on scummy stuff. Scummy stuff is also why we lynch scum. Unless you think we should NOT lynch people who act scummy? That might confuse them...

And when I say "Too easy" I mean it's too simple of a target. He's easy to push in a way that he doesn't feel particularly scummy. I actually referenced him another time without using his name, when I said I don't tend to think that people whose activity level is down near the "almost modkilled" level are automatically scummy lurkers.

Yeah, I was busy pushing other people, kind of like you were, but I wasn't trying to make someone else look like a better target than perfection. Who knows, maybe I've been wrong about Gonzaw, and he really was just wrong place/wrong time, and you're the guy I should be focusing into the dirt.

Are you serious? You accused half the fucking thread during D1, of course you can call anything and everything an "OMGUS". That was one of my first points about you.

The fact that a now death confirmed townie suspected you shouldn't be part of your defense.

You're scum, I've pointed to tons of scummy behavior throughout the game. Just because the rest of the town is letting you run roughshod over them doesn't mean I'm going to, if you want to find the shit, go look for yourself. It's not particularly hard.

I'm not asking people to bandwagon you, and asking for opinions and stances.
If it makes you feel any better though:

##Unvote: JingleHell

Jingle, what do you think of Mementos' 1st post about Keriathi and austin and his behaviour this game?

I wouldn't mind shifting discussion towards Mementos, ghost, S&B and maybe Nisani.
Hell S&B did absolutely nothing so far, maybe Drazerk is onto something.


P.S: Also Jingle, are you seriously saying you won't accuse anybody so they don't accuse you of OMGUSing back? Are you willing to accuse any of those people you mentioned just out of spite or because you seriously think they could be scum?

Don't start acting like the world is against you when you only have 2 votes and it's 24 hours into D1.

Jingle is town, but he's bad. Bolded bad. Chill out, don't OMGUS, pay attention and don't get all cocky and arrogant and spam the thread with those defenses of yours.
The way you argued and interacted with people and the way you kept "shitting things up" even though it was obvious you should have stopped doing that as scum makes me think there's a chance you can be town, so take that chance and try to play better.



You start a fight, throwing insults around, and now you pop off saying you don't get mad about being suspected?

So the insults and whatnot were part of your scum plan, right? Discredit the main guy pushing you, and try to push for emotional reactions? Since you weren't mad, I mean. That about it?

by me:
You want to convince "others" that I'm scum but you are doing a very bad job, achieving the opposite of what you are looking for;and what's worse, you seem to not realize that and keep fooling yourself


Why are you under the assumption that you are trying to "convince others" I'm scum when it obviously failed and you actually got suspicion on yourself from many players (like Mattchew and Crossfire, and maybe someone else)?

Of course again counting the fact that you are not trying to convince anybody I'm scum

You just quote stuff I do and point out "lol obvs scum". You don't seem to try and convince anybody.

Have you asked Mattchew why he thinks I'm town, argued against his points and try to convince him I'm scum? No
Have you argued against any of those points austin made in his gigantic post about why I'm town and try to convince him I'm scum? No
>repeat for everybody that thinks I'm town


Actually, yes, I did try to debate this, even with your specific example, and he wasn't interested in listening. Another thing you've managed to miss since you weren't worried about the thread?


I'd instantly label you as scum in any game....but again I had that gut feeling you were just that bad of a townie and got into a tunneling vision you can't get out of and you can't take a step back and think twice about it.
My gut feeling seems wrong in all these games though, so I could ignore it this time to lynch your ass if you don't start giving answers.

P.S: I'll try this to be the last post in direct response to Jingle to not shit up the thread. Jingle I already posted what I needed to post, and all you guys can see it, so put your thoughts/pressure Jingle/etc. If I keep posting surely Jingle will keep insulting me and not doing anything.


Trying to make this into me starting shit is utterly ludicrous. I'm "tunneling" (which is why I'm looking at other targets too, I suppose, asking what their townie motive for shit is?) you because I see you as scum. You started picking a fight because I wouldn't back down, and now you actually accuse ME of starting shit, and threaten to get me lynched on it, in a post where you QUOTE me demonstrating you starting the shit?

If the town doesn't see it from that, they won't see it from any other effort either.

Fact, gonzaw's little "get u lynched scrub" threats don't scare me, I'm town, an all-in probably favors us. So if someone else wants it and actually plans to read it and consider it, I'll post a "proper" case.

Hello gents. Let's get some scum.


This was his first post. After this I assumed he'd come with walls of text quoting everybody, asking everybody questions and trying to actively find scum.
What he actually did was disappear, then come out of nowhere to park a barely-justified vote on Drazerk and disappear again.

The contrast between his initial "eagerness" to catch scum and his actual behaviour is very scummy. Again, also considering the fact that he doesn't seem to care about his read on Drazerk since he immediately disappeared later instead of trying to reason his read with others or with Drazerk himself.

Players that vote just for the sake of voting (and not for the sake of trying to figure out someone else's alignment) are either ultra bored/busy townies or scum. I see no indication of JingleHell being bored because of his 1st post, nor any indication of him being busy (again, because of his 1st post as well and the lack of explanation from him), so I'm going with the 3rd option here:

##Vote: JingleHell


P.S: I can't be arsed to check austin/Mementos/s&b/hiro and all those people right now.


Ok, let's get this out of the way first. He accuses me of not doing shit, when he hadn't done shit at this point, and of a bad vote. The reasoning for my vote was pretty much covered after that. Of course, he still remembers my suspicion of him as being purely an OMGUS. (Hey, I've got the perfect scum plan now, accuse everybody in post number 1, then just scream OMGUS any time someone says anything against you...)

Of course, he tried to head off any response by admitting he was calling me scummy for behavior similar to his own...

JIngle, I get the feeling you are voting Drazerk and accusing him just so you can justify doing something in this game. I don't get the feeling you are trying to figure out his alignment and convince yourself he is scum, nor I get the feeling you want to convince us he is scum so we can lynch him.

I just see you lurk, then come out of lurking to park your vote using a half-assed justification for it and then going back to lurking.

Like I said, I can only see bored/trollish/busy townies doing that (although even busy townies would try to do something else to push their read), and I don't see you being any of them.
You are too serious and "eager to catch scum" to be a bored or trollish townie (for instance I could see Nisani being a bored townie, at least at this point in the game), and again there's no indication you are busy (and again even if you were I doubt you'd act like you did).
So where does that leave you? As scum unfortunately, unless someone can figure out some town motivation for Jingle's behaviour.


Absolutes like that are completely stupid.

Hmm, I'll wait on the contributions of other people before doing anything else.

I'd really like Mementos to tell us if his austin thing is getting anywhere and if he has anything else to say.


This one actually seems to directly contradict itself, accusing me of appearance of contribution, not worried about convincing people of my read... oh but he wants the contributions of others.

##Unvote: JingleHell

Jingle, what do you think of Mementos' 1st post about Keriathi and austin and his behaviour this game?

I wouldn't mind shifting discussion towards Mementos, ghost, S&B and maybe Nisani.
Hell S&B did absolutely nothing so far, maybe Drazerk is onto something.


P.S: Also Jingle, are you seriously saying you won't accuse anybody so they don't accuse you of OMGUSing back? Are you willing to accuse any of those people you mentioned just out of spite or because you seriously think they could be scum?

Don't start acting like the world is against you when you only have 2 votes and it's 24 hours into D1.


Remember this one, since his favorite defense is that I'm OMGUSing him. Oh, and more of that talking shit and smearing.

There's a severe lack of information going on.

I'm also severely worried/disappointed in s&b. Does he act like this when he is scum? (i.e never post anything)


Yet another post of Gonzaw wanting other people's opinions to jump on board with. It's a recurring theme.

Damn, what a boring game :/
If this keeps up like this I'll most likely vote S&B, or ghost (if he wasn't intentionally trolling), or Jingle (if I make up my mind about him) or Mementos/Nisani/austin/iamperfection (I have "weird" feelings about all of them but there so little to go on that I can't know for sure).

Yeah, not incredibly useful, but oh well...


Hmmm, whole fucking thread is scummy...

Just in case I miss it I'll make a placeholder vote on iamperfection:

I don't have a strong read on him at all, but after rereading it's the strongest one I have.
None of his posts seemed to contribute at all, and even his ghost vote seemed "easy" to latch on. He doesn't have anything else to go on, so it's a safe bet I think.



Soft bus, possibly? He did unvote so he could move his "placeholder" vote once perfection had votes... if it's really a placeholder on either person why would you move it when one of them gets momentum? Awkward.

We all know how scum Palmar works, and that's a thing a scum Palmar would do. Is it a thing scum ghost would do?
(well, to be honest I don't remember him in any games where he was scum though)

Hmm, okay people, what do you guys think about lynching one of these guys:
JingleHell
Mementos
Nisani
CrossFire
austin
iamperfection

And if you'd switch to one of them, why would you do it?

Like I said before I have that same "weird" feeling about them, but again it seems none of them other than Mementos decided to show up to contribute at all.
It wouldn't bother me too much since it's D1, but we are getting too close to the lynch deadline and we have to choose a lynch.

We have like 0 information on the table, so it's VERY likely this lynch will be a misslynch, specially if there's some incognito scum in the group of Mementos/Hiro/Keirathi/(me lol)/etc that are driving discussion.

But fuck what else can we do, right?

I'm leaving in like 20 minutes and wondering if I should put my placeholder (or basically lynch vote) onto someone else.
I'm gonna eat now....so convince me people


Another list of half the thread as possible scum...

I don't really buy that "the world is against me" attitude and I haven't seen any contribution from him other than his scummy read on Drazerk (maybe his unvote is not that scummy, but it's the only thing I can go on).

Take into account that's a rash vote/placeholder, but oh well.

So long people!


Here's that change from one placeholder (who flipped scum) to another one. Me. A guy who thinks he's scum.

Jingle is town, but he's bad. Bolded bad. Chill out, don't OMGUS, pay attention and don't get all cocky and arrogant and spam the thread with those defenses of yours.
The way you argued and interacted with people and the way you kept "shitting things up" even though it was obvious you should have stopped doing that as scum makes me think there's a chance you can be town, so take that chance and try to play better.

ghost and Nisani are likely scum I think, Mementos and Crossfire are there too.

ghost/Nisani/Mementos/Crossfire/Drazerk
I think all remaining scum are in there

Talking shit, fairly random change of opinion about Draz, who he formerly thought wasn't scum, who really wasn't doing much that could be more than a null tell, yet again accusing half the thread. (Oops, like I said, if we suspect him, must be an OMGUS!)

Gonzaw the Scum, Part 2

I'm sure you'll understand if I just completely ignore his "defense" of part 1 that mostly consists of him continuing to dismiss the case without actually defending shit, which I kinda expected anyways, hence why I waited until someone besides him asked for it.

Jingle, I just want you to answer me this:

You are willing to entertain the idea that 2 of the most active players, and most contributors (in a way) are scum but you won't entertain the idea that guys that didn't do shit on D1 or N1, where never around, didn't care about discussion or the lynch at all, and the only contribution they had was 1 post with a "list" of reads that were full of fluff aren't?

Entertain the idea please, at least so you pay attention to them. If you think they are town and me or austin scum then please state so


This was one of those non-defenses... implying active people can't be scum, and people who just post huge lists probably are. I know it's been a few posts since Part 1, but hopefully we all remember plenty of examples of Gonzaw just posting huge lists?

There wasn't a lightning rod in the last Aperture Mafia game...?
Do you at least have evidence of there being a lightning rod in any game of mafia?

It doesn't make much sense, who used it? Scum? Then they can't use any abilities on anybody and can only use them on the guy they kill.
Town? Then they can tunnel all scum actions into anybody of his choice. He's basically a vig that saves all scum KP and abilities the same night he makes a shot, and that's unbalanced as hell
3rd party? That's the only possibility I can see but it still seems like a stretch

Is there anything in particular why you mentioned that? What makes you think there could be a lightning rod? Aren't all KP/actions accounted for? Or is it because apparently Mementos didn't jail anybody? (Nisani, S&B and I think Crossfire have yet to claim though)

On searching for roleblocked people

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Anyone who was roleblocked shouldn't be claiming, and should easily understand this. Apparently there's a role that swaps players on the player list, and anyone who swaps into whoever Mementoss targeted's spot on the list would be JKed.

So claiming rb = probably claiming JK = giving mafia knowledge about protections. I don't see a town purpose to having that info in thread.


How is the player list swapping important even if we know who Mementos jailed?
Maybe I'm not understanding it fully though

Hmm, that's interesting, S&B could be 3rd party alright.

However there wasn't any additional KP last night, so we can assume if there's a 3rd party it's not a SK kind of role right? Maybe it's more of a survivor, or like someone said a lyncher (and he has to get Drazerk lynched for instance).

I wanted to see if someone claimed JKed or shot because of this as well, to see if there are additional KPs flying around.


If the 3rd party has no KP, shouldn't we focus on killing scum that have KP?
Hmm, I'm kind of torn about it, but it does seem like Nisani scum and S&B 3rd party are possible. I just can't comprehend S&B's play this game.



Anyways, Jingle and Keirathi, you guys have effectively spend all D2 FoSing me and nothing else, and right now you are wasting your votes and not contributing at all. Wtf dudes?

Hmm, if P-BODY claims it could go on to basically confirm both of you as town (or really bold 3rd parties), or at least put both of you into the spotlight and see if your actions at night confirm you both (if for instance you "save" another shot).

Who was your target that was shot? I don't see any reason to not claim since scum would shoot him anyways, and it may semi-confirm him as town as well (unless he was shot by a SK-type role).

When P-BODY targets player X and you target player Y, then it means both you and P-Body target both X and Y at the same time? Or did I get that wrong?

Another thing: If scum shoot you directly, do you take a hit to your "extra lives" as well? Or do you die instantly?


Hmm, well, I don't see why we shouldn't lynch Nisani today, unless in a weird state of events he claims P-Body (but I heavily doubt it).

Also, again like always I'm leaving to uni until after the deadline (cue Jingle FoSing me again). I'm leaving in about 1 hour or so.

If someone claims P-Body it confirms both your roles.
It means you weren't lying your ass out there when you are in fact "Aperture Turret Nº 2" or something like that.
It proves you are ATLAS and it proves the other guy is P-BODY (and if you are both scum making a gambit, surely another ALTAS/P-BODY can claim or you'd get found out very easily)

That's a lot of information that helps town tremendously, and it also puts a lot of pressure on both of you (so you keep your promises with night actions and stuff, and you keep up contributions and shit) to help us figure out your real alignments.

Yeah, because GlaDOS could obviously be town.

You may have been given a fake-claim as scum, it's a possibility; but if you are scum I want you to take the chance and expose yourself (even then there may be inconsistencies with what you claim and your own abilities. For instance if you claim "Companion Cube" I couldn't possibly believe you would be a vig, so we lynch you)

Give us your role name

No, Mattchew is most likely town and I don't doubt that....at least for now.

If I have to make a quick response about "who's scum" I'd have to say one of these:
Hiro-ghost-Drazerk-Jingle

But I'm not in the mood right now to start completely changing my reads on them.
Being in this situation also makes me doubt the other players still (Mattchew, austin and Crossfire).

Again, the "easiest" answer I can give you without having to drastically change my point of view is "Drazerk" and maybe "Jingle" (because honestly he's the easiest one I can FoS and just say "maybe he's that reckless as scum anyway" and brush it off).

I have to reread filters though, I can't answer anything seriously until I do. Hopefully tomorrow I have time and go to uni later in the day and not so early.


Semi-randomly suggesting which of his earlier town reads he'd throw out. Since he's suddenly running out of people he thought were scummy. Maybe he tried to hard to look town by calling people town?

TL;DR version, Gonzaw tries to force reactions, Gonzaw alternately suspects everyone and nobody, Gonzaw gets miffed if people ignore his accusations, then ignores other people's accusations, Gonzaw rolefishes, Gonzaw = Scum.

Make sure to read all of both parts, and check his filter for yourselves, there's so much shit in there I'm almost sure I missed stuff.

If you're so worried about them not being the same alignment, why do you want to lynch "one of the duo"

You seem legitimately concerned about snb, but I don't see you with a scumread on Keirathi. Given that clear preference, and given that you don't seem convinced both are the same alignment, why are you advocating lynching ONE of the duo, when a Keirathi lynch wouldn't give you any information about snb if you think they could be different alignments.



Confirms the role but not the alignment
if they are lying about the role well we catch 2 scum

Okay. I think it's an awful idea to lynch one of them just in case they're taking that big a risk, but I see where you're coming from with that.


Ask me after the daypost, assuming we're alive, what possible scum motive I see for lynching to confirm the roles now, rather than just holding onto the knowledge and treating them as confirmed until given a reason to do otherwise. Discussing it at night would have severe anti-town potential.

And you're right, it may entirely be too wide of a net. I actually left a lot of shit out to try and avoid diluting excessively, but I figure given that I could easily be accused of confirmation bias (which, might I add, doesn't mean I'm automatically and categorically WRONG in finding Gonzaw scummy) it's better to provide a LOT of backing, rather than looking like I'm overly cherrypicking one or two posts.

Usually, providing a LOT of raw data increases the chances of some of that data not going the direction you want. Thus, it's more fair-minded, and demonstrates that I'm not just basing my assumptions off of one or two things that, on their own, would be tiny.

Just because a lot of the individual shreds of it are small, doesn't mean they don't add up to a lot.

I don't see anything I did wrong. In fact I should be actually calling you out since I made a perfectly reasonable defense and you straight up ignored it to post a bunch of unrelated stuff and label it a "case" (I won't since that's not really alignment-indicative of you, at least in the context of this game).


Do you need me to quote the part of Part 1 where I straight up said I would post the other half later? Or can you find it for yourself when you're not busy dismissing the majority of my points out of hand?

I see you are still convinced I'm scum and won't change your mind no matter anything I do.
Let me give you another piece advice: Step back, read filters, preferably read the thread as well and try to analyze the flow of the thread in this game and how I participated in it, with what motivation I did and what I achieved doing so

If you still think I'm scum then, well I'll be disappointed but at least I'll be somewhat relieved that you at least tried and are most likely town (if you are scum you wouldn't put that effort at all) and that you at least are trying to win this game for town (whether you are wrong about me or not).


Some choice bits from your initial "defense"... you can feel free to explain how they aren't dismissive.


I don't get what you are saying here at all.



Ehmm...I don't get this part.


Those are both dismissals. A lot of other things, you just say things like...


It's not "lol Jingle is OMGUSing me that stupid bitch". It's advice.
Advice that apparently means I was "starting a fight" with you that I still don't get at this point in time.


Still don't get it? That's writing it off, I'm pretty sure anyone who speaks English knows that that sounds hostile.


Although again....why does that make me scum?



lol no, you only were "paranoid" about me by that point, and you even posted that post after I started working on mine


There's very much an inherent dismissal in those comments. There's very little "Here's how you misunderstood me" and a whole lot of "Yeah whatever" in your "defense". The second part, you completely and literally refused to respond to.

I had to be a little bit "agressive" in parts because that's how defending against cases works (in trying to convince you how bad your point is for instance). Everybody does it, in every single game, every time, whether town or scum or 3rd party.

You can't get butthurt over that


No, that's you dismissing them. If you don't understand the points, I can't help you in the slightest. I didn't write it for your benefit anyways, because I knew you'd do exactly that. I wrote it for Keirathi, and everyone else. The people who I need to have voting for you so we can get scum again.

If you refuse to read it, refuse to understand it, and refuse to address it, when others seem to at least grasp what I'm saying even when they disagree, it's no harm to me.

IIRC he did mention a night action before then, but he also said it went through and that was all he was saying.

Was ambiguous the first time.

Wat.

S&B was the one who claimed his ambiguous night action went through. Which is the post I quoted.

It was 24 hours later before Drazak claimed that it was a shot on S&B.


Ah. Fair enough. Hard to keep their posts this game separate sometimes.

Huh, I guess that's the problem with playing in text-form.

Yeah, it's possible.
However, if there was 1 KP that got to S&B. someone must have shot it. If the guy that shot it was town, he'd have claimed, therefore it's either scum or SK KP (basically anti-town KP). Drazerk claimed that KP and nobody cc'ed, so it at least proves Drazerk shot him (whether as town, scum or SK).

You may be right about the targets though, maybe a town bus driver bussed S&B with a pro-town townie and scum/SK Drazerk shot S&B instead of his intended target.

Yeah, we might leave that out until we have more claims or knowledge of night actions. However, if no town night action interfered with the kill, I think it's highly likely that if Drazerk is scum his shot was on the target he intended.
It could be the same for 3rd party Drazerk, but maybe scum bussed S&B with someone and Drazerk didn't know.


This response is so wrong there's no justification for it from a town point of view.

Let's take a moment to examine what was said here:
  • Any unclaimed shot must be anti-town
  • Unquestioning belief that Draz is telling the truth
  • More blue fishing
  • Stuff that was just plain wrong


There are reasons why unclaimed shots might have been from someone in the town. For example, Lord Kanti's KP from Aperture Mafia. Based on the flips that have already occured this game, I don't think that it's irrational to assume that a role with KP doesn't have some other stuff associated with it. The fact that Draz didn't immediately claim his shot doesn't imply that he's scum.

That second part about the busdriver is (a) wrong and (b) blue fishing. In the event of a busdriver, 98% of the time, the person performing the action isn't notified of a bussing. Therefore, Draz would not know that he had bussed, and wouldn't have known to claim that he shot S+B. And why on earth are you implying that there's a town busdriver to begin with? Why do you keep fishing for blues?

As town, you should know better than to spout off stuff like this. You would have taken a step back and realized that this post doesn't accomplish anything other than create more chaos while people discuss why you are completely wrong. Town gonzaw is better than this.


...is this post serious? Do I really have to point out all the stuff you misinterpreted or got wrong?


If you don't like other people talking about being misinterpreted, why is it turning into your default response after saying that?

Funny thing, you were threatening to get me lynched at the time for being so scummy as to make a case involving you misinterpreting me...

So now you're doing something you personally implied heavily was scummy behavior.

What "scummy behaviour"? I'm not "misinterpreting" ghost, he's misinterpreting me (quite badly).

Seriously Jingle I just don't get some of your posts or why you even bother posting them.
Are you seriously just sitting on your chair, gluing your face to the monitor waiting for me to make any post at all to completely dissect and post how it's scummy?


When I'm able to be at my computer, yes, I keep a close eye on the game. Is activity a problem? You act like I only respond to you. You're one of the people who posts frequently, and you're scummy as fuck, so yes, I do respond pointing out the scummy things you do a lot, but acting like I ignore the rest of the game is absurd.

And frankly, you really need to stop reacting, especially since you've spent so much time harping about my "bad town" play.

You were threatening me, saying I should stop saying you misinterpreted me. Since making that post, saying that you're being misinterpreted is becoming a frequent "defense". You were acting like I was being scummy, hence the threats. This implies that you doing it would, by your logic, also be scummy.

I'd rather not reiterate this constantly, so actually try to understand it. There's a first time for everything.

Hey gents, just got home and caught up with the thread. What the fuck. Two anti-town factions.

Now, obviously, obligatory comment on how this actually increases the numerical chances of gonzaw being some sort of scum.

Despite that, I find myself having to be objective here... he's not been nuts about talking about third party unless someone else brought it up, and that makes me think that if he's scum, he's normal scum, and odds are, we can look for our Black Mesa types within the people who kept having their posts and accusations drift that direction. We all know that foreknowledge can color play, so I'm inclined to think the Black team has at least one person who keeps referencing that.

Possibly to include Draz, although his play smells like vengeful or village idiot. It's like he wants to get a vigi hit on him.

I really doubt, just from a flavor perspective, that Atlas and P-Body would be on the Black Mesa team. Thematics here. Gordon Freeman isn't a Portal local, the cooperative testing initiative is. It wouldn't make sense for them to be the same team.

It's still possible we have something screwy going on with Keir/SNB, but given that they're at least claimed, I'm comfortable leaving them alive for now, if shit hit the fan, I'd say we could lynch SNB (After all, if they ARE some sort of screwy multi-factional pair, Keir's roleclaim to save SNB feels townie.)

Hiro: Gonzaw's "change of opinion" of me, while possibly scummy in some of his posts, is thoroughly documented, and even I (really WANTING him to flip red, I don't think denying that would get me anywhere) wouldn't be brazen enough to suggest it was just some sudden thing out of nowhere, even if I think some of the posts in the process were scummy.

At this point, knowing we have extra scum, I'd have to say my favorite lynch targets would include Gonzaw (surprise), Hiro, Draz. Hiro's so damned innocuous it's starting to make me wonder.

(By the way, if this post seems weird for me, blame being tired, having just gotten back from sparring night at TKD which is great for letting out aggression, and being well fed.)

Anyways, with the new info, I'm going to have to go back through and look harder.

You made a case, and gonzaw seemed to consider it horrendous. So I was wondering why that made gonzaw think of you as a bad townie, when judging by his previous thoughts, he was going to call you scum if he didn't like the case.


Ah. Well, he's scum. It happens.

Ok, so I just woke up. Just read the thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this whole current line started because Gonzaw went "What if Drazerk is town?"

Anybody who's played with me should know that me pointing to this has nothing to do with my primary case on Gonzaw, and everything to do with the fact that people who suddenly start sounding like they have lynch foreknowledge should die.

So, since it would gain scum two confirmed town, the only plausible use for it is to let scum try a last minute target switch.

Gonzaw is still scum, kill him with fire. (Yes there's been a metric fuckton of discussion I semi skimmed, I was out and about or otherwise occupied most of yesterday. If there's something specific from the piles of speculation and ranting you want my input on, please let me know.)

Switch your vote until/unless he explains it, Austin, so that it's securely off Draz if Gonzaw refuses to explain the recent development stuff.

After all, he should be totally cool with the threat of "Explain or get lynched", he threw it at me earlier this game.

Also, has anyone else noticed a drastic change in the overall feel of Gonzaw's posts since the revelation of a third party faction? He seems much more interested in leading a hunt, instead of just joining one.

Also, why has Gonzaw been obsessed with pushing this "2 scum per faction" mentality? Remember, the OP listed scum KP as being scum/2 rounded up. Unless greymist is a Caller smurf, I really doubt that's in the OP just to troll us. It can only benefit scum to have people looking for less scum than there are.

The foreknowledge point is a good pickup. The fishing is there. The momentum stuff on D1 is there.

But why do I want the lynch "securely off Draz"? Like...I just watched him get very few votes in a game where he was scum. I fooking chatted with him late while he was active and scum when nobody was around.

Aperture 1 he gets caught playing Drazerk-y on D1. PTP3 he gets caught playing Drazerk-y on D1, but snb dies and nobody reads, so he survives. This game, he DOESN'T play Drazerk-y on D1. Why? He says time. Maybe. But he also keeps getting caught D1, and so maybe he suppresses that for a day here and then can't contain it D2? I dunno about that. He also just claims to mess with his meta, so maybe even if he hadn't been getting caught he'd go from Drazerk-y to not? Gah.

Nor does stuff like this make me want to unvote:

Don't kill me, I'm one of the most active players. Instead, kill Gonzaw, who's been one of the most active players.

He's right on mattchew; we're ignoring him. But he's complaining about activity and then calling out a guy who's been very active recently, albeit Gonzaw's activity is sometimes just gratuitous posts that don't help.


I'm more nervous about Hiro's invisibility than Mattchew's. Mattchew said he got a HotS invite right before he vanished, Hiro has just said almost nothing memorable all game. That sets off more of my "scum" alarms than anything else.

As for why we'd want the lynch off Draz, I want it off him because Gonzaw has done several things recently that can literally ONLY benefit scum (make us look for less scum than there most likely are, act like he expects a townflip off Draz, his SNB+Keir plan that either sets up a block-free shot, or allows SNB+Keir, if they were scum, which I doubt, to withhold a shot and get free confirmed townie status). One of those things suggests Draz might well be town if Gonzaw flips scum. Avoiding a potential mislynch with scum grabbing town cred off the back of it scenario doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Especially after how bad me chasing useless people in PTP3 went, I'm trying to chase scummy behavior first. Smacking down trolls/lurkers/etc. has to be a concerted effort with early game policy lynches.

Those are reasons to want the lynch ON Gonzaw. They're not reasons to want the lynch OFF Drazerk, except that Gonzaw flipping scum could indicate Drazerk is town.

Hold on. I just wrote up little hypotheticals about what happens if Drazerk/Gonzaw flip and are town/scum, how it makes the other look. But the "Gonzaw scum = Drazerk town" thing doesn't work. Multiple factions. Gonzaw scum = Drazerk not scum WITH Gonzaw. scumGonzaw can't know that Drazerk is town, just that he's not on Gonzaw's faction. Right?


Fair point. But if they ARE both scum, there's one some people listen to, and one they tend not to. I know which one I'd prefer to have dead. Although, given that I just generally want Gonzaw dead (nothing like the combination of scum and talking shit to make me want to lynch him), that may not mean much.

Stop it. If I'm RS I can't know if he's BS and if I'm BS I can't know if he's RS without a DT check or something


Oh, so we tack on even more silly setup speculation, to go with you trying to convince everyone that the OP lists scum factional KP as #scum/2 rounded up purely to troll and disguise the 2 man scumteams. In a non-caller game.

So, why did you have the sudden, major change of heart? Because chronologically, you didn't start looking back and convincing yourself he might be town until after you started posting about the possibility. If you were that convinced it was possible he was town, why didn't you unvote until after you did your homework? If you were sufficiently convinced he was scum to not unvote, why did you do the homework?

You did it to try and have momentum and towncred coming off the back of what you either knew or suspected would be a mislynch. That's why.

And of course, nobody knows whether scum might have rolecops or something. Unless you know, and they don't? Is that it?

Stop doing what? Trying to lynch scum? How about I keep trying until it works instead? I can't much help it if the town refuses to see it, but your whole "waaah Jingle's a meany head" thing is getting ridiculous. Lynching scum is part of the game. You've been my top scumread the entire game. I push lynching you.

I made an analysis about how you are likely town which means I'M NOT ACCUSING YOU STOP OVERREACTING GODDAMIT

It's something odd I noticed and wanted addressed.
You know, Keirathi once unvoted Draz, austin once said he'd vote for either me or Draz, there was quite a span of time where you could have used the momentum to lynch me.
Considering your behaviour I know you would have tried (although you would have been unsuccessful I suppose).
You haven't really tried to get me lynched D3 that much.

That was part of you making a case against him. I did, in fact, make an effort to get you lynched, I just gave up when pretty much everyone said they preferred Draz over you. Sure, I could have cluttered the ever-loving hell out of the thread, but that wouldn't have done much good, the majority of the complaints about my case on you involve presentation.

I've been watching it on and off all day. Granted, when Draz started going roleclaim crazy, I knew there had suddenly stopped being even the slightest point in trying to convince people, but most of the morning, I was doing what I could to push you.

Which is about the polar opposite of what you're saying I did.

Hiro! who would you rather lynch tomorrow ghost or gonzaw and why


gonzaw. He made a statement to the effect that if JingleHell didn't make a case against him that didn't revolve around himself/talk about misrepresentation/stuff like that, that he would consider him scum. JingleHell made a case that was pretty much the stuff gonzaw said he didn't want (and the way gonzaw treated the case also pretty much said gonzaw considered it trash like that), but he still just went with the "JingleHell is bad townie" view, even though what he said before suggested he would do the opposite. Then it's the fact that gonzaw seems to be alternately goading JingleHell into going after him and alternately complaining about how JingleHell keeps coming after about him - in part of his response to me about this point he seemed happy about JingleHell leaving off him for a bit and now he's wondering why JingleHell didn't go full throttle after him on day 3.

Partly also cause he could be either red or black mafia too.


That's a bad reason for thinking I'm scum.

Complaining Jingle only does against me: because it's the only thing he does and it's anti-town as fuck
Complaining that Jingle doesn't go against me when he had the chance to: because since it's the only thing he does, and if I assume he's tunneling townie, then that's what he would have done, so him not doing it is odd.

What would be the correct thing to do for Jingle that I wouldn't complain?: Take a step back, stop assuming I'm scum, try to get other people's reasoning instead of just trying to get people to lynch me, maybe even read past games of mine and compare my attitude in them, stop bitching against me and cool down, and contribute about other players and try to find scum in them as well.

When Jingle starts doing that, or just part of that, you won't see me complain at all.


Hiro, what do you think of austin?


Good, you answered him before I went to bed. I didn't want to post in between, because I wanted to see how you'd respond without me diving in there. Still martyr-ish, and kinda flies in the face of a recent one.

I think I've done a better job of explaining why I think you're scum, even if my presentation hasn't been amazing, than you have of responding to it. You have yet to answer the majority of my complaints. Most of them get ignored, shit-talked, or contradictory responses. Or your classic "Jingle so mean to me".

So, when did you go from not accusing me and wanting to ignore my tunneling, to thinking it's scummy? I assume it's got everything to do with what different people have to say.

My case against you may be largely made up of things that are open to interpretation, but that doesn't mean it's inherently a bad case. There's very little hard evidence in Mafia, and enough circumstantial evidence should eventually be pretty damning.

Whenever I start doubting my reads I always start thinking "Jingle's actions could come from scum", and of course you tunneling me like that easily makes me think you can be scum, and then I start to doubt you.
If all the guys I think are scum flip town, then I have no choice but to rethink my stance on you.

I really want to see you contributing about other players. So far I think you only made like 1 post in the past 72 hours or so about some people you thought could be scum and other than "Draz seems like a VI" or "Hiro is innocuous" I don't see you posting thoughts or reads on anybody at all.
That's what makes me doubt my read on you most of the time

I think I respond to all of yours. Unless it's those snarky comments you make some times after I make a post which I don't see the point in responding to other than saying "that's wrong".


Relevant part of D2, my vote was SNB (even after the claim, due to being out.) I've contributed reads and discussion about loads of people, and amended them over time. The fact is, I can't even begin to imagine a town motivation for how much of what I do you've ignored, merely on the premise of you being my primary target.

I've gotten into heated debates with most of the people in the game about posts of theirs that came off scummy. I've voted other people besides you on multiple occasions. I've amended reads based on discussion, and listened to reason. The fact is, regardless of how poor a job I've done lending credence to it, you're the only person who's consistently come off as more scummy than not throughout the course of the game.

The fact is, you can say what you like about it, but, deliberate or not, you're ignoring a lot of my play this game. Your opinion of me changes almost every time you post talking about me, frequently depending on who's active in the thread.

If you go to the effort of posting your past games in your profile, you're probably aware of your meta as a tool, and not above using it to your benefit, so no, I won't check your other games.

Keirathi, Austin, basically anyone else, can you confirm for the guy who's skipping inconvenient parts of my filter that I've discussed things besides him, even if pushing him has been my primary thing, due to nearly everything he does seeming somewhat scummy to me?

And yes, your opinion of me changes incessantly. It's back and forth between "Probably bad town" and "possibly scum" and "if you don't do X I'll get you lynched" on a rather regular basis. I'm pretty sure there's some supplements that help with short term memory loss, but I forgot what they are.

How's that relevant to who's active in the thread?
Yes, I "flip-flop" in the sense that I always try to rethink about my stance on you and take a step back and see if I fucked up with my town read on you or not.

What I don't remember is doing that depending on who's active in the thread which is what you claimed.


Well, I'm sure you don't. It's only been an impression, and not something I've got the energy to document, but it doesn't take away from changing your mind more times than a career politician.

And it's not "re-thinking" by any visible logic, it's changing what you're saying about me constantly, with no clear reason.

Also, the last 72 hours aren't all that's relevant to the game, and directly after the lynch, weren't you commenting on how little I pushed you during D3? Make up your mind, I'd say.

I posted a fair bit D3, and if I wasn't tunneling you, and wasn't talking about people who weren't you, what was I doing, having a fashion show? No, you're just doing the usual, which is completely refusing to address the facts.

And you wonder why I keep going back to only directing my points about you to other people?

I've made arguments for a 2-2 scum team, and the arguments against it are basically "gonzaw seems like he knows the setup!".

ghost tried to do that...but well you could see it didn't make much sense. At least he tried to do it and utterly failed, which is better than just saying "there are 4 scum remaining!" and not doing anything (yes even if ghost is scum).


Actually, there's the best argument at all, which you keep completely ignoring. The OP tells us how scum factional KP is calculated, in a way that suggested at least a 3 person red team. Not Caller game, so, Scum KP = #/2 rounded up suggests 3 red minimum. Wording of Crossfire's post suggested 2 black minimum. I've said this before, I believe twice.

That means we should be looking for, most likely, 5-7 scum.

It's a reasonable deduction that Red only had 3 people, since we have yet to see multiple KPs or, as far as can be spotted, unclaimed saves/vets.

Well, since this seems to be happening, I'm Rick, The Adventure Core! I can go visit the person directly below me on the list at night, doing nothing, but avoiding KP directed at me.

That's why I've been pushy and hostile (and it looks like I've been vindicated about Gonzaw having an anti-town wincon, so I wasn't so far off with the primary target of that path). I was hoping to make scum try to hit me and waste their KP. That's also why I waited so long to claim, I wanted to be very sure it was happening en masse before giving that one up.

And no, my role doesn't make the other person get hit, it just gets me out of harms way. I've received no notifications of failed hits on me, but I don't know if I would since I'm actively avoiding the KP, rather than having it hit me and fail.

So...you're a permanent Bulletproof Townie, as long as there is someone below you in the player list? :o


I'm only bulletproof IF the person below me is alive to visit. Also, I assume I can be tracked there since I'm visiting them, which has a nasty ability to backfire. As to that being good for black scum, I can't even imagine my role being balanced that way, since the scum team's wincons seem to require working at cross purposes, putting red in a position where they can only kill a rival by forcing a lynch seems risky, especially with a role that would reveal that they had no other choice. Anyone who pushed it would promptly be under scrutiny.

That would be an "I win" button for black.

Also, if we have a vigi with bullets, confirming me tonight wouldn't be so bad.

It would confirm the role. The role would be broken on scum. You have something against confirmed townies who are hard to NK?

if your scum team had no kp, being able to avoid kp from the other team would be completely balanced


Uhh, let's think. If a night passes, with no NK, and suddenly someone pushes for a lynch on someone, then, when they flip, they're town and couldn't have died to an NK the night prior, the people who wanted the lynch are pretty much confirmed scum.

And in a multi-faction game, with all of them at cross purposes, the one most in need of roles that can provide information and lynch control is the town.

I know I'm town. I'm just explaining why the role as a scum role doesn't make much sense. Also, a lack of factional KP doesn't guarantee that the individuals on the team don't all have potential conditional KP like Crossfire did. I'd say that's plenty of balance in and of itself.

Well, I'd certainly hope red wouldn't have roles like this along with roles like Glados.

You're mostly right, maybe my paranoia has kicked in on the potential weirdness of the role. But I still don't see how it would be balanced as anything but town. And I really don't think that's any more absurd as far as speculation than a lot of the shit other people have done.

My role is "reverse hider" - basically it's a bodyguard, I have extra lives and if my target gets shot I take the hit instead. Last night I took a scum hit that was aimed at someone else. I can do the same thing tonight.
snb, is that the exact wording on your role?

Grrrrrrrr. JH not quite a hider, because hiders get hit with anything that hits the person they're hiding behind, right? That's the downside to keep them from actually being bulletproof. But he hasn't claimed that. Except it really seems like he's holding some info back.




I told you what I know about my role. Bear in mind, I have essentially no control over who I have to visit to get my immunity, and if they die, I'm fucked.

Oh wait, you went back to reading me as town, because you're scum, and I seemed like the safest person to call confirmed, since even scum need to do that occasionally and nobody wanted to listen.

You can't honestly tell me this is a town mentality? Where one of his biggest (if utterly inconsistent, like most of them) town reads is concerned? Revenge because he's tired of being accused of being scum, when he claims a scummy role, a scummy wincon, and somehow it's strange I've thought he was scum all game, and he should push for the lynch of his townread?

No, that's scum behavior. Nuff said. I've made cases against him over and over, I've beat my head against the wall arguing it, over and over. And I guess he's decided that he should freak out and go for some balls out chainsaw defense.

Lynch him, already.

Gonzaw, feel better about your read on me now? I honestly was not expecting things to go well once we got revealed and lost our only KP role in one fell swoop. But my priority was to make town ignore me, and make scum want to keep me alive as long as possible.

Bah, it wasn't without reason, it was poorly presented and overly aggressive. What makes you think a 3rd party player who gets called out about activity early wants to be a scum target?

Technically, most of my reasons were, from a perspective of not knowing your alignment, fairly decent. I just didn't care what happened with it, and if I looked functionally leaderish, I'da been an appealing NK target.

I'm really not sure why I didn't push that harder. It triggered by Bullshit-o-meter super hard, but I just let it fly after one comment

E: I'm just terrible as town, sadly


Meh, how do you think I feel, a healthy chunk of the town reads on me came because I did shitty in PTP3 and made myself look like a repeat performance...

.....really?
Am I that hard to find townie?



Meh, you dancing to my tune didn't help my wincon, though. Besides, ignore stuff like that, I get exuberant in the QT to help me stay thinking townie in the game. Get it out, off my mind.

I think my favorite moment, epeen-wise, was calling that ghost or crossfire would be a perfect scumshot shortly before Crossfire died.

Because you wanted to lynch S&B and I couldn't let that happen. Not enough people online at the time to switch and keep S&B alive.

So basically your fault <3

hi i voted no-lynch.. your fault betch


See, we SHOULD have lynched gonzaw, then we could have kept out medic!

no we shoulda lynched you, and bah hiro i had a feeling you were red like the day3 and on, but i couldn't figure it out in terms of a case



Meh, Gonzaw dying would have actually increased time needed to LYLO due to the way things worked out, as was speculated throughout the thread, Black was neutralized as a significant threat by then.

I can't believe nobody was more disbelieving of my claim. It interacted with almost nothing, but I was hoping I added enough stupid flavor in that nobody would think it was a fakeclaim. If anyone called me out on it, I was going to play the "Why would Grey give me such a stupid fakeclaim if I were scum?" card. Go ssheep!


Thanks hosts for putting this together and handling everything. Game ran very, very smoothly imo, which was impressive given that there was so much going on.


I was actually thinking your claim sounded fake as hell, but I ignored it completely because there was literally no way I could go for that drastic of a playstyle change once the third faction's existence got outed.

Grey can you tell us exactly how town could win this game without both scum teams going 100% against each other?


This D1 was a miracle or something. Considering there are 6 anti-town players that would be extremely happy with a misslynch, the chances of a D1 misslynch are high as fuck. After that...it's 6 scum 6 town and it's the same thing. Very early in the game there can be more scum than town. How the hell can town win from that?

Again, this game was like a super town display in comparison with what could have happened (D1 misslynch, N1 town death, D2 misslynch, N2 town death, bye bye town).


Well, bear in mind, Red and Black had opposing Wincons. We had to kill each other as well.

It's not that they thought I was town and tried to get an easy misslynch on me....scum thought I was from the other scum team (both of them I think)

....I don't know what to think of that lol

N2 was the one where me and Jingle started that shitstorm right? I don't think there was nothing to do that night other than that though.


Hey, credit where due, you started a shitstorm , I just got absurdly lucky that people decided to skip over pages instead of realizing I was fanning the flames deliberately.

I think my worst slip that I was lucky nobody caught, though, was accusing you of foreknowledge on Draz. I really should have saved that for after the flip so nobody would notice it was almost like *I* knew he wasn't scum.

Really, roughly everything I said was scummy about you, I caught myself doing at some other point 2 seconds after I hit post. But by then nobody wanted to read anything that had both of our names in it.

By late, I had neutralized myself too effectively.

Jingle:

Why didn't you use your action last night?


I had no idea what Austin can do, and basically, I figured that IF Austin and Gonzaw were somehow both town, I didn't want to be visiting Austin, since an NK on him would have been smart if he were town. There weren't many scenarios (with the information available to me) where leaving my action on Austin made any sense compared to not taking an action.

If you were convinced on me being scum, why did you not listen to my "minimum of 3 RS, 2 BS" argument?

Ehm....there were only 2 active townies in the thread, me and Kei and I did most of the talking so I guess you should say "I'm upset that gonzaw decided to speculate on the setup and not scumhunt"

I tried to scumhunt on D3 but meh everybody was off parking a vote on Draz and leaving so I couldn't really do much since I wasn't too convinced.

Holy shit, how do you have a 20 page filter in a 90 page game.

Rofl.



Why don't you check my D1 filter?

Yep, only 1 page. I really tried to hold myself back with the posting there and be "pro-town" and change my playing style and all that shit.
Once shit hit the fan though I just couldn't be arsed anymore.
I mean, my filter doubled just on D3 alone, that should have given people some ideas lol.


That was part of why I continued actually thinking you were scum up to the end. You suddenly spiked activity when you found out about Black Mesa, which made me think you suddenly felt "safe" hunting for real.

You guys should have killed someone day2 btw. Should have had ghost position swap you night 1 to trigger your vig ability.


Me and Ghost couldn't activate him.

We kinda checked that ASAP. If we could, I'da activated him so that Ghost could cop it out.

Heck that's what made it scary to use Jingle's ability on someone to target me. We had no idea what their ability was. I figured there would have been a DT because there were 2 scum factions and at least 5 total. Also, I figured there would be more than just 1 town vig with that many scum, but meh. idk


You needed to play townie enough to get some protection.


Yeah, I actually mentioned in QT that him and ghost would be appealing NK targets shortly before you guys offed him.

I knew I would be too useful to red to NK, and too useless to town to lynch.

I don't think this setup is really imbalanced (if you consider each side having 1/3 chance to win fair). Maybe black scum could have been a little stronger.

But it is very variable. Like a lot depends on the interaction of night actions.


And survival. As long as Black Mesa was an unknown, we had a chance. When we got revealed through flip, we were in serious trouble unless we lynched scum and scum NKed anyone with a shred of towncred. When ghost flipped, we officially lost.

Welcome to Aperture Mafia 2: Portal Edition! You are P-Body, the Roleblocker Roleblocker. You and your buddy A.T.L.A.S. (who is also in the game) are great test takers! You are much more cunning than your partner, and can help others solve tests. Each night you may target a player, and remove all roleblock effects on them for that night. Because you and A.T.L.A.S. are so in sync, whoever he targets with his ability you will also affect as well. you win with the town

If it said that, and a "Test Giver" flipped, and you were somehow scum, I would have been pretty pissed.

Why would scum P-Body and town ATLAS (or vice-versa) be buddies at all? Much less specifically say we are both test takers.


Really want the flavor I would use?


Hello, Cave Johnson here! Welcome to cooperative antagonist robotic testing! Today is a great leap forward in science, so you should be proud! Or rather your computer brains should be simulating proudness. Anyway after watching robots try to work together but then get each other killed, we decided to see how well robots trying to kill each other work together. Makes sense right? RIGHT?!?! Anyway, get out there and try to work towards your common goal of beating the other. You'll do fine.

We're done here.




Funny, that reminds me of a Portal 2 Coop map I made for the pure function of blowing up your fellow robot.

While we're here....hey, Red Scum team, why did you shoot Crossfire N2?

iirc, both from the vote and the misunderstanding about the lynch mechanic, he came across as incredibly townie. Someone that we just couldn't mislynch later in the game.

While he wasn't active and figuring things out, he was someone we didn't want around as the game went longer because he wouldn't ever be a mislynch option. Plus, although he seemed to be clearly town, it still felt unlikely there'd be protection on him because of his activity level, so it was more likely we could actually kill him than someone highly visible.

Just so happened that "incredibly townie" actually meant "incredibly not-us"


Pretty much the reasons I had figured in the BS QT that he'd be a great target.

By the way, is anyone else almost wishing we'd gotten to find out how me vs Gonzaw in the least rational Mafia all-in ever would have ended?

Oh come on, it was a brilliant strategy. Thank you for not being in this one, by the way, I really doubt I could have gotten away with referencing bad play in PTP3 safely. You would have gotten me lynched because you know my ego.

Meh, I'll just find a different excuse next time. Having to do that was Keirathi's fault anyways. "aggressive and leadery". Then later he suddenly remembers I'm willing to play that was as scum, too. Bastard.
