@Hopeless

You are my top scumread at the moment so I want to go full force against you. As I might no be able to vote on the last round, I don't mind to spend all my votes on you this round. I'll come up with a case against within 10 hours.

ON is a scummy lurker but, in my opinion, he is more lurky than scummy. And you are still scummier than him

I'm very disappointed that prplhz didn't advance because we basically gave him a free lurking pass.

because I already put 3 votes on him. It wasn't enough I realized once I saw the official votecount. I would have put more but austin said he would put more on djodref to make sure he would go through. I didn't want to start a voting war with austin in which we both waste all our points, especially since the ET vote had no town support, and he wasn't going to make it past sandroba anyway.

Bleh, didn't get in before deadline. Votes went how I wanted them though. Catching up now.

As austin said, TL LVI is a pretty terrible example because I stopped playing D2, while my D1 was just me being a dumbass.

Hello guys !

I finally got away from the meeting ^^

I just have caught up with the thread on my phone. First I would like to say that the predictions were a (failed) attempt to make my comments look like a starcraft MU preview. Thank you Kush for understanding me and believing in me

Just a quick post about the people who are going to advance:
  • ON hasn't reappeared and still hasn't given any good explanation for voting me. He deserves to advance over Hiro. No need for me to cast more votes on him.
  • I'm very happy that Hopeless is going to advance. This MU don't need more votes.
  • I hope that sandroba advancing is going to push him to post more. And I confirm my feeling about Kush playing his "scummy" town meta
  • I'm kinda pissed off that I'm going to advance partly due to the panic (and unexplained) votes of ON...




No Starcraft like prediction this time Djo ?
Agree with you on Sand vs Kush. Kush posts much more and his creating noise in order to get some clues on who could be scum or not.

Sorry havent been posting much today but i was swamped at work. Should be much quieter for the rest of the day.

H1 vs ON :
It bothers me as well that ON doesnt seem to care very much and has posted only a few messages. Most of them being useless (like his phone being dead for 24hrs, the panic votes). Since then nothing has been posted and I agree that it seems odd for someone from town not to participate in the lynching process as it is its only real way of finding scum. I would expect even more a townie to participate if he is still on for lynching.
It makes sense for mafia not to worry about advancing if his accomplices do manage to save him at any future round.
H1 posts seems pretty coherent i am maybe too newbie to have a good read out of it. I haven't played no game with any of you in the past, and i actually don't really want to because i want to make myself an opinion out of your posts and not ur behaviour in other games.

Apart from saying how they feel about the other matchup, I'd like the lynch candidates to also give their top scumread.

That also goes for everyone else. We've been focusing too much on the mechanics and worrying too much about "well this guy is scummier than that guy" but we need to be discussing our top scumreads. Right now sandroba takes that spot for me so I plan on pushing hard for his lynch.

Trying to get some reads/assocation of people from previous votes.

1) Only ET has been twice voting for someone he would face in the next round. Djo in the first round when he had a BYE and kush in second. If he was a scum, I would them believe Djo and kush are not. Because at first glance it doesnt seem logic to vote for your mate so that one of you for sure would advance to the next round. He is the only one who has ever voted on the next potential opponent.

2) on Mementoss : he seems to be throwing away votes on as many people as possible and of oppisite logic. Already voted for 4 people which is the most of all of us. First round he votes for Djo and kush to make them move to the next round on their respective matches. But when they move on he decides to now vote on none of them but even worse voting for their opponents in the matchups hence actually totally changing his mind on them and now backing them up. Should have voted again for them to follow his initial logic.

3) Austin looks too unconcerned after being saved on the first round, He hasn't voted anyone in the second round. Looks to me more like a scum who now hides to get us to forget about him. To me a townie, even saved should continue to be implicated in the votes in order to gather as much information as possible on other players.

Please let me know your thoughts....

As promised, I would like to present you my case against Hopeless.

My main points against him are:
  • Lack of scumhunting
  • Suspicious unvotes at deadline
  • Contradicts himself



Lack of scumhunting

+ Show Spoiler +

He admits it himself in this post in response to Kush

Two topics, both of which I consider to be a total waste of time and a way to feign activity.

Addressing more of this:
/snip

You say I'm feigning activity. My activity is poor, and as close to trivial as it gets, but my actions have clear motive in terms of how people have advanced each round. You claim I'm not scumhunting. No, not in the conventional sense, I'm not. There are now 4 players completely out of the running for todays' lynch, but for all I know, all the scum are in those players. I have no flips and very limited information. I realize I'm not giving people much to work with, but I'll deal with that later.

@Hopeless stop defending yourself and give us your two best scum reads or your view of the matchups and who you are thinking of voting

I'd rather not give scumreads because of both the short length of the game so far and the lynch mechanics. I will go through the matchups and give my thoughts on those. Hiro vs ON is already done.


Please note also how he implies that we are going to mislynch (all the scum already out comment). This is not scummy but it is at least not good town mentality. On top of that he refuses to give his scumreads invoking bad excuses (what are the lynch mechanics doing here ?) and for this, I clearly don't see any town motivation.


Suspicious unvotes at deadline

+ Show Spoiler +

I don't know if you have noticed it but his unannounced unvote at round 1 deadline had a influence on the kush/prplhz match-up. He let Kush advanced over Prplhz.
Look at the way he presents it

I'm getting some flak for my ##Unvote All, part of which is I gave no notice that I was doing anything. However, I had already posted that I was going to be available during the deadline, which no one cared about, and the end result is almost exactly the same. The exception is that you, kush, advanced as a result, BUT Hiro was under the impression that you would have gone through without my 'assistance'. My activity during the deadline had a significant impact, which I would rather people be aware of so that no one is blindsided.
/snip


I'm not accepting his excuse for this. Should I state that I'm going to be present for deadline tomorrow and happily reverse the result of a matchup ? Is this ok ? I don't like the way he presents it, stating that it almost exactly the same, when his actions led to an opposite results for one match-up. He has no choice but to admit it but the fact he has doing it passively (by unvoting) and shifting the focus on Hiro helped him to make Kush advance (or should I say eliminate prplhz from the competition?) quite unnoticed.
At least, I didn't catch up at first. If you guys have all seen this then I'm sorry for bringing this up.

What makes it even more suspicious is the global picture:
  • voting prplhz for one post, voting ON for being a lurker, voting me on a gut feeling
  • passively letting Kush advance (reason=> wants to see how Hiro is going to handle Kush on round 2)
  • not following Kush at all round 2, voting sandroba


I would say that Hopeless doesn't really care about who is going to advance in this bracket. And the question I really would like him to answer is what he is planning to do with all the votes that he has carefully saved ?


Contradicts himself

+ Show Spoiler +


Firstly he did contradict himself while speaking about letting kush advance. I'm sorry but it not exactly the same when you reverse the issue of a matchup.

And here is the second contradiction: I didn't understand why he was so obsessed with people present at deadline and I called him for it. Here is the post he gave me in response

I'll ask again since no one responded last time:

WILL YOU BE AVAILABLE AROUND THE DEADLINE (YES/NO)? PLEASE SELECT ONE RESPONSE.

Hopeless1der: Yes



Deadline is 11am for me and I have a meeting starting at 9am which should end my business trip. So I'm either going to be in meeting or on the way back to Seoul for the deadline. In the latter case, I should be able to check the thread with my phone. Now that I have answered your question, I would really like you to answer mine:
Why are so concerned by people being around at deadline or not ? What are you trying to achieve exactly ?


There is usually a panic towards the end of a day to consolidate votes and have crazy things happen during the final hours. With this lynch mechanic, there isn't enough time to properly consolidate and I think knowing who is willing and able to be active during the deadline is very beneficial to town.

Case in point, go look at the way I voted and my concern makes much more sense.

I asked for people's deadline schedules again because 7 out of 11 players (not counting myself) posted without acknowledging the question. There seems to be a severe lack of reading comprehension going on in this thread. da0ud is evidently foreign enough that he gets a pass. The rest of you bastards, not so much.

What I'm trying to achieve is using my votes in the most efficient way possible to maximize town's advantage this cycle. This, of course, assumes I'm town. I'll explain my reasoning later if necessary.

None of them used any votes officially, and all have 10 votes remaining. Coming down to the wire any one of them as scum could sway the results.


If they're scum and that's their plan then they're pretty stupid because they'd be put in the spotlight for doing that.


Not all 3, but it is very possible for one of them to be scum, gaining 2 extra votes after the first round could prove to be a great advantage.


Mementoss, I get that you're suspicious of people having all their votes, but can you look over how I (un)voted and tell me if you think I'm scummy because of it?



OriginalName, you still havent addressed why you felt you needed two votes on djodref, ESPECIALLY when he was already leading his matchup. You were literally throwing away votes.


What I understood from this answer is that knowing who is present at deadline prevents crazy things from happening. I think that the simplest way from preventing crazy thing to happen is to use your votes and sticking to them. Unvoting like you do results in more possibilities for outcome of MUs to change, something you want to prevent by asking everybody if they are going to be present at deadline or not.

I think you want to give yourself some presence in the thread by asking everybody if they are here for deadline or not. In reality you just want to know if you can safely do you unvoting cuisine.



With all this I'm pretty sure that Hopeless is scum. I'm going to go full force in him this round against him because I really want him to get lynched today and I may not be able to use my votes on the next round. I'm also interested to see who is going to vote for his concurrent, the Great Lurker, I named OriginalName.


Please be aware that I'm not forgiving ON in any way with this post. Right now, I really find Hopeless to be the scummiest among us. Prplhz is also looking scummy in my eyes. I'll develop on this later but I would like first to have some feedback on this case, especially from Hopeless.

Could you sum me up what you have against sandroba ? I didn't take the time to look at his filter yet because he is my opponent for this round and I guessed he was going to be scrutinized enough. By the way, what do you think about my case ?

ON vs Hopeless

If they were separated I'd probably vote for both of them to advance. ON because he's the biggest lurker, and his voting antics have just been completely anti-town and he doesn't seem to know/care about it. For hopeless, I like the case djodref made against him. + Show Spoiler +

Out of the two of them I am less certain about ON, so I want hopeless to advance. Djo has already gone all in on hopeless so I'm gonna hold off on voting unless it's needed.

Could you sum me up what you have against sandroba ? I didn't take the time to look at his filter yet because he is my opponent for this round and I guessed he was going to be scrutinized enough. By the way, what do you think about my case ?


Here was my original case against him:

Gonna vote for sandroba over kush.

I'm getting a pretty scummy read off of sandroba atm. The majority of his filter is fluff. Then there's this bit:

So here he says that prplhz is his best scum read. Not only does sandroba not push to vote prplhz over kush during round 1, he doesn't even mention prplhz again. Why would any townie not want to at least throw 1 vote for their "top scumread?" Why would any townie have a "top scumread" that they never talk about?

He also says:

Yo. I want da0ud to go to the next round. I have a hunch and those have been pretty good historically.


"Hunches" aren't good enough explanations for me. And this is the 2nd case where sandroba has a read but he's not willing to go the distance to push his votes. He says prplhz is his top scum read, never votes for him or mentions him again. He wants da0ud to go through based on a hunch, and he puts a lot of weight behind the validity of his hunches. Yet he doesn't put enough votes in to push da0ud through. So that's twice where his stated intentions don't match up with his actions.

FOS sandroba


Since that case he's barely made any posts and all he's done is defend himself and attack ON who is the easiest target in the game.

Actually I agree more on that part, but I think we are not allowed to edit posts so I will double post.
Hence me voting yesterday 12hrs before the deadline and sticking to it.

As promised, I would like to present you my case against Hopeless.

My main points against him are:
  • Lack of scumhunting
  • Suspicious unvotes at deadline
  • Contradicts himself



Lack of scumhunting

+ Show Spoiler +

He admits it himself in this post in response to Kush

From Hope's posts it's clear that he is not concerned with finding scum. What does he care about instead?
-Will you be here for the deadline?
-Don't waste your votes.
Two topics, both of which I consider to be a total waste of time and a way to feign activity.

Addressing more of this:
/snip

You say I'm feigning activity. My activity is poor, and as close to trivial as it gets, but my actions have clear motive in terms of how people have advanced each round. You claim I'm not scumhunting. No, not in the conventional sense, I'm not. There are now 4 players completely out of the running for todays' lynch, but for all I know, all the scum are in those players. I have no flips and very limited information. I realize I'm not giving people much to work with, but I'll deal with that later.

@Hopeless stop defending yourself and give us your two best scum reads or your view of the matchups and who you are thinking of voting

I'd rather not give scumreads because of both the short length of the game so far and the lynch mechanics. I will go through the matchups and give my thoughts on those. Hiro vs ON is already done.


Please note also how he implies that we are going to mislynch (all the scum already out comment). This is not scummy but it is at least not good town mentality. On top of that he refuses to give his scumreads invoking bad excuses (what are the lynch mechanics doing here ?) and for this, I clearly don't see any town motivation.


Suspicious unvotes at deadline

+ Show Spoiler +

I don't know if you have noticed it but his unannounced unvote at round 1 deadline had a influence on the kush/prplhz match-up. He let Kush advanced over Prplhz.
Look at the way he presents it

/snip
I'm getting some flak for my ##Unvote All, part of which is I gave no notice that I was doing anything. However, I had already posted that I was going to be available during the deadline, which no one cared about, and the end result is almost exactly the same. The exception is that you, kush, advanced as a result, BUT Hiro was under the impression that you would have gone through without my 'assistance'. My activity during the deadline had a significant impact, which I would rather people be aware of so that no one is blindsided.
/snip


I'm not accepting his excuse for this. Should I state that I'm going to be present for deadline tomorrow and happily reverse the result of a matchup ? Is this ok ? I don't like the way he presents it, stating that it almost exactly the same, when his actions led to an opposite results for one match-up. He has no choice but to admit it but the fact he has doing it passively (by unvoting) and shifting the focus on Hiro helped him to make Kush advance (or should I say eliminate prplhz from the competition?) quite unnoticed.
At least, I didn't catch up at first. If you guys have all seen this then I'm sorry for bringing this up.

What makes it even more suspicious is the global picture:
  • voting prplhz for one post, voting ON for being a lurker, voting me on a gut feeling
  • passively letting Kush advance (reason=> wants to see how Hiro is going to handle Kush on round 2)
  • not following Kush at all round 2, voting sandroba


I would say that Hopeless doesn't really care about who is going to advance in this bracket. And the question I really would like him to answer is what he is planning to do with all the votes that he has carefully saved ?


Contradicts himself

+ Show Spoiler +


Firstly he did contradict himself while speaking about letting kush advance. I'm sorry but it not exactly the same when you reverse the issue of a matchup.

And here is the second contradiction: I didn't understand why he was so obsessed with people present at deadline and I called him for it. Here is the post he gave me in response

I'll ask again since no one responded last time:

WILL YOU BE AVAILABLE AROUND THE DEADLINE (YES/NO)? PLEASE SELECT ONE RESPONSE.

Hopeless1der: Yes



Deadline is 11am for me and I have a meeting starting at 9am which should end my business trip. So I'm either going to be in meeting or on the way back to Seoul for the deadline. In the latter case, I should be able to check the thread with my phone. Now that I have answered your question, I would really like you to answer mine:
Why are so concerned by people being around at deadline or not ? What are you trying to achieve exactly ?


There is usually a panic towards the end of a day to consolidate votes and have crazy things happen during the final hours. With this lynch mechanic, there isn't enough time to properly consolidate and I think knowing who is willing and able to be active during the deadline is very beneficial to town.

Case in point, go look at the way I voted and my concern makes much more sense.

I asked for people's deadline schedules again because 7 out of 11 players (not counting myself) posted without acknowledging the question. There seems to be a severe lack of reading comprehension going on in this thread. da0ud is evidently foreign enough that he gets a pass. The rest of you bastards, not so much.

What I'm trying to achieve is using my votes in the most efficient way possible to maximize town's advantage this cycle. This, of course, assumes I'm town. I'll explain my reasoning later if necessary.

None of them used any votes officially, and all have 10 votes remaining. Coming down to the wire any one of them as scum could sway the results.


If they're scum and that's their plan then they're pretty stupid because they'd be put in the spotlight for doing that.


Not all 3, but it is very possible for one of them to be scum, gaining 2 extra votes after the first round could prove to be a great advantage.


Mementoss, I get that you're suspicious of people having all their votes, but can you look over how I (un)voted and tell me if you think I'm scummy because of it?



OriginalName, you still havent addressed why you felt you needed two votes on djodref, ESPECIALLY when he was already leading his matchup. You were literally throwing away votes.


What I understood from this answer is that knowing who is present at deadline prevents crazy things from happening. I think that the simplest way from preventing crazy thing to happen is to use your votes and sticking to them. Unvoting like you do results in more possibilities for outcome of MUs to change, something you want to prevent by asking everybody if they are going to be present at deadline or not.

I think you want to give yourself some presence in the thread by asking everybody if they are here for deadline or not. In reality you just want to know if you can safely do you unvoting cuisine.



With all this I'm pretty sure that Hopeless is scum. I'm going to go full force in him this round against him because I really want him to get lynched today and I may not be able to use my votes on the next round. I'm also interested to see who is going to vote for his concurrent, the Great Lurker, I named OriginalName.


Please be aware that I'm not forgiving ON in any way with this post. Right now, I really find Hopeless to be the scummiest among us. Prplhz is also looking scummy in my eyes. I'll develop on this later but I would like first to have some feedback on this case, especially from Hopeless.

Hopeless x6








So wait what. Your gunna use up all your votes in the semi finals, so you have no control over who gets lynched? You avoiding responsibility? This seems scum motivated to use 6 votes, scum desperately trying to get 2 townies in the final while avoiding any responsibility from the townie lynch if they successfully do that.

I have the least amount of votes left. sheit. Everyone else is "saving" there votes, or voting so late that it doesn't matter so they don't have to vote and have all the power at the end.
