I'm against imposing arbitrary voting rules. Let town cast their votes in the way they think will catch scum, and let scum cast their votes in the way they think will benefit scum. Then you make reads off of voting motivations combined with flip information. Making rules where you ask everyone to conform to a standard just makes it easier for mafia to blend in and harder for town to make reads.

I am unfamiliar with this policy. Please elaborate.


It's a policy based upon him making posts like the following where his posts are thick with scummy justifications/ reasoning but he doesn't care because he likes having a "scummy meta." His play relies on him intentionally playing into the fact that he has a scummy meta and that's bs.

I think he was saying that he's not going to actually vote until he's figured out exactly how he wants to spend all of his votes. The reasoning being that it'll make it easier on the cohosts. That's a nice sentiment and all and no offense to the mods, but that statement did sound a little scummy.

But did you think it looked scummy?

It might be a slip but in a 12 person setup it's pretty reasonable to assume a 3 ratio. Is there anything else you find scummy about ET because that "slip" doesn't look like anywhere near a good enough reason to vote for him.

That's the only part of it that makes me suspicious of ET. Asking for a specific scum/town ratio is stupid because a mod will never give you the answer so it doesn't seem like a question someone would ask unless they have ulterior motives behind asking the question.

Gonna throw out a vote for prplhz because out of prplhz and kush, kush has contributed more and has shared way more of his thoughts. Also this post struck me as weird:

I like Djodref's posting and I don't like da0ud's posting. Well, as much as you can like and dislike stuff 2 pages into the game. In any case I'm going to vote for da0ud right now. He's only gonna get one vote from me (for now) because that's enough to put him in next round.

da0ud x1


He asks that question about ET... it looks like he asking a question in order to cast some suspicion on ET but he doesn't say why he thinks ET's vote was suspicious. And as for his vote for da0ud, he spends more time giving justifications for the vote than reasons why he's suspicious of da0ud.

I want to know what his alignment is.

What the hell does this mean? "pretty similar weird scummy town meta", seriously? Can you elaborate a bit?


Ok when kush is town, he reads as scum. He says stuff that would get anyone else lynched, but he gets away with it but it's part of his meta. Therefore he can be difficult to read. There is 1 difference between his scum meta and his town meta, and that's that when he's scum there's a lot of forced emotion and unnecessary aggressiveness in his posts. When he's town he's generally more laid back. So far I'm seeing the "scummy town kush" rather than the "scummy scum kush."

I don't like either of djodref's or da0ud's posts. da0ud has contributed nothing so far, absolutely nothing. Djodref's first post was weird and seemed a little too thought out or well constructed from what I remember about his posts when he played as town He did make posts after that sharing some reads, but one thing that looks odd is his mememtoss vote.

Djo why did you vote mememtoss?

So far out of the two of them I'd rather see da0ud go through, just because he hasn't done anything at all except make weird "jokes" that may not even be jokes.

A) Kush is on the town side of his meta, and I know nothing about your meta. B) At the time I made that vote kush had contributed way more to the thread than you had and he was being pretty open with his thoughts. Since then you've made more posts so I'm still thinking about it.

Does unvoting working like normal? Just ##Unvote in the voting thread or something?

Thrawn did you read my point about how it's a scum mentality to say that byes are at a "disadvantage"?

I really dont want to overrule other people's votes by voting more than once.


Yeah but it's so little to go off of and I don't think that alone would make him a better choice than djodref. Something strikes me as odd about djod's play so far this game. In his last game (town) he was this super happy friendly cutie townie, and his posts in this game seem way more thought out or crafted.

So there's Du0ud who has post almost next to nothing, but his first post was strange and mostly useless. You say there was mafia mentality behind it, but I'm not buying that that argument is as strong as you're making it out to be.

Then there's djodref.... I'm want to know why he voted memento. It looked like it might have been some type of lurker vote but there were other lurker candidates to choose from. Also as I think austin or someone else pointed out, it was weird the way he called out some people for things and not others. For example he came in saying he agreed with my post where I talked about voting policy but then he turns around and says he is suspicious of people who talk about vote policy because "the more time we discuss about the rules we should use, the less time we have for scumhunting. It's also a golden opportunity for the mafia to look like they are participating while discussing the rules." It looked like he's trying too hard to find suspicious things to point out and that is what scum have to do.

Hey Djodref, I'd like a proper response to the question I asked you earlier. Not a repetition of what you've already said, I want a clear stance.


I'm voting for kush over prp. kush doesn't seem to have much interest in finding scum - his votes are for people who he thinks are "bad", which is pretty much just abdicating any responsibility for scumhunting. The one vote that he does try to give some reasoning for is nonsense and in itself a contradiction since kush himself is not attempting to find scum - he's content to make one weak read and pick 2 other people for reasons unrelated to finding scum.

He's right, that getting a bye makes it easier for you to be lynched. But he calls it a "disadvantage." Scum would be more likely to think of it this way. He is not approaching the bracket as an opportunity to catch scum, but as a trial to avoid lynch. He has the natural fear of a scum.


kushm4sta x1


You need to be aware that that's what he does as town and that's why I semi-jokingly suggested a kush policy lynch. If it matters I think he looks like town if you're going off of meta reads. What do you think about prp?

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:

On October 10 2012 20:40 sandroba wrote:@prpl You are my best scum read so far, how do you feel about that <3


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:

"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

So you wanted me to go through ? Not nice But I see your point against Sandroba.
I just cannot make up my mind on who is the scummiest between him and kush.


No I wanted djodref to go through that's why I voted for him lol. What I was talking about is that sandroba's votes weren't lining up with his words. He put no effort into pushing his top scumread (prplhz) and he didn't have the balls to put enough votes on you to push you through, despite having a hunch after saying that his hunches are usually correct.

So what do you think about kush, and do you have anything else to say about sandroba?

I'm confused, what is this mini-scum stuff you two are talking about and what do you mean by "form an alliance with another townie so soon in the game?"

Can you explain this post please? Why are you just trusting sandroba's hunch?


Go look at the voting thread, I added a vote for djodref right when I made that post. Sandroba's reasoning for picking da0 over djod was because of a hunch, and I didn't like that as an explanation so I decided to see if he really trusted his hunch as much as he said he did. Apparently he didn't.

The only explanation is someone informing him erroneously that he would be modkilled due to the cohost pointing out in the thread he had not voted and since on his mind he had to throw some votes somewhere he just used the opportunity to push some agenda that is yet to be seen by voting the most controversial match up. No reason for him to vote that match up at all if he was town and had no info, since he doesn't even know those players, and I would expect him to throw one vote on someone he knew if he didn't have any agenda.


This is what I was thinking, but he came in after the deadline and gave some reads and promised more so I'm not sure about that MU atm. As of now I'm probably going to vote ON over hiro.

Kush, the thing about ON is his wtf behavior at the deadline. He comes in placing 2 votes on a candidate that was for sure going to be moving on anyway, and I've yet to see him adequately explain why he did so. He said it was a panic vote.... why was he panicking, why pick djo, and why 2 votes? Those are all questions he needs to answer.

I guess. But I don't have a solid scum read on either of them so it's gonna come down to what contributions they make from now till deadline. So far all ON has given us is a post about djo vs ET and a promise to talk about more matchups, which he hasn't. ET has been present in the thread D2 and he's voted.... how long are we supposed to let ON get away with being afk and not voting?

I probably won't be voting in that MU. My main focus this round is the sandroba vs kush MU and I really want sandroba to go through. I don't care as much about the other matchups so I'm not going to waste my votes on them. I think something feels off about djo's posting. That description I gave of him applied to how he played last game, and I see a notable difference this game. His post just seem more calculated that what I saw of him in newbie 28. Also I don't like his starting posts where he called people scum for talking about voting policy. So if I end up caring about that MU then I'll probably vote for djo.

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.

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 +

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.

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

My activity during the deadline had a significant impact, which I would rather people be aware of so that no one is blindsided.

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.

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

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.

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:

"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.

Djodref was tunneling me at the time and no one else was committed to lighting a fire under me. My play has been admittedly lackluster, and yet everyone is content to just brush me off as scum with little to no discussion.

Day 1 Round 2 Preview

Hopeless/Thrawn

It's kind of night and day.
Thrawn is active in the thread, gives good contributions and points out what is weird in other players posts. So far I have a slight town read on him. I would expect very good reasons for anyone wanting him to advance.
Hopeless on the opposite has almost contributed nothing. He also seems strangely obsessed with people being around at deadline or not. Which is even stranger when you consider that it seems ok for him to unvote everything without warning just before the deadline. I'll develop later on Hopeless, hopefully with some insight from his side, but I would go as far as saying that he is my top scumread at the moment.

Prediction: Hopeless advances to the Ro4 3-0


HiroPro/OriginalName

At first glance this MU looks easy but it could be more interesting that it looks like. Once thing I have learned in my previous game is that obvious scum players are usually town (Kush being an exception of this rule^^).
We could all agree that ON looks bad, like very very bad. Casting last minute panic votes (on me on top of that) after zero posts and not even properly explaining his motives is scummy as hell. But thinking about it, I cannot imagine any mafia player being this obvious. So I want to give him a second chance for today and see if he can make it up before the deadline.
HiroPro hasn't posting that much and I didn't like his post encouraging people to share their thoughts and plans about the lynch mechanics. Right now, I would vote him over ON but I don't want to spend more than 3 votes on this (I didn't keep my 10 votes like, let's say, Hopeless).

Prediction: ON advaces against my will to the Round 4 5-3



Basically, I'm too scummy to be scum. And yeah, that's a stretch, but read my filter for the level of evasiveness and unproductive behavior. I actively avoided discussion and existed in my own little world of deadlines and schedules, all of which came up in djodref's case against me.

I wanted djodref to advance because I felt I'd have a better chance at getting this case made against me and seeing if anyone bites onto it. So far, the responses have not been too supportive of his case, despite the fact that it makes sense, doesn't misrepresent me or what I did, and has clear and well thought out reasons for his vote against me.

Djodref has been very consistent and open in his read of me AND of his stance of ON's lurking not being that scummy. For this, I now think he's town. I voted him to advance because I wanted to ensure I could the case on me made (knowing I looked scummy as shit) to see how his reads would or would not change. I feel that if I had advanced ET, he would not have been pressured into making the case. In addition, it demonstrates that djodref can and does provide his reads to the town and is an asset worth having around.


I'm confused....

You voted for djodref because he was tunneling you and you wanted to see if he would be consistent with his case against you?

The issue I have with this is that this says nothing about djodref's alignment. You say that because he say scumminess in you, he must be townie. Do you not understand that both town and scum want to make cases on scummy people? Towns people want to kill scum, while scum want to kill bad townies who make themselves look scummy. Like you.

You basically ensured your demise to get >>1<< town read. You haven't thought this through.


That's what I'm getting but I'm still trying to work through the logic of it...like I just don't see how it makes sense

OK so you pushe ddjodref though to get a read on his alignment... by way of seeing if he were to make a case against you after he moved forwards. So that means at the time you voted djod you knew that you already looked scummy? Had you been playing intentionally scummy from the start as part of a gambit?

IF you make any statement towards being inactive at the deadline (like mementoss has) then if you do anything around the deadline you're instantly suspicious.

K it might be because I'm tri[[ing hard right now but that response didn't make sende in relation to the question I asked. Can you try again? Basically I'm just confused as to wtf you've exactly been doing this game.

You want us to lynch sandroba and you have somewhat of a town read on djo correct? And disregarding your situation what are your thoughts about lynching ON?

Right now I'm not wanting to lynch djo or hopeless. I do want to lynch sandroba, but I'm not sure about ON. At this point I think a policy lynch could be in order.

So I want it to be sandroba vs ON, with sandroba getting lynched.

How would sandroba be a policy lynch? He's been around. Lynching him would be an old-fashioned regular lynch.


were you talking about my post? the policy lynch part referred to ON, not sandroba

Hope;less answer these questions plz

You voted djodref in order to see how his read on you developed?

Were you acting scummy on purpose, or was your scumminess something you realized after the fact and decided to take advantage of?

Or in other words... when did it first occur to you to enact your plan?

I wanted to try to be scummy beforehand, so I was going to try to ninja vote, which I did, and be generally unhelpful to see who bites. I felt I was kind of screwed and needed someone to make a case on me, but no one needed to because my matchups were so one sided.


Is that referring to when you unvoted at the end of D1?

are you willing to vote for him? i'm having trouble with that mu... ON is just afk/null/wtf/etc so any vote on him would be strictly a policy lynch. however i am interested in keeping up the pressure on hopeless because his main defense is that he was acting intentionally scummy... so I'm kinda wanting to keep the pressure on him so that my read on him will be based off of more than what he's already given

I haven't come to a conclusion about his "scum plan" story yet. But honestly I'm wanting to save my votes for the next round so unless I end up more decisive on that MU than I am right now I probably won't use any votes on it

I'm not voting him.... do you understand how the vote mechanics work? It takes your most recent post only.

I don't want to waste my votes on what would only be a policy lynch, and I'm more interested in pushing sandroba than I am hopeless so I'm not wanting to use votes on the ON vs 1der MU

austin to your point about ON going though the bracket uncontested, the same goes for hopeless. so following the logic you used for ON, that would suggest that hopeless is also town right?

You misinterpret me; I'm not saying IDGAF as in I don't think either of them are worthy of the lynch. I'm saying I consider them both bad enough to lynch and don't care who dies today.

Austin what are your thoughts on hopeless vs sandroba? You;ve talked the least about sandrobba so please pay most attention to that aspect.

Also from reading your filter I don't know what your top scumread is. So do you have a top scum read? (within the bracket or outside of it)

Prplhz: Well for one thing he still has 8 of his votes... I'm suspicious of people that still have thay many votes at this point. People who care about the lynch (aka townies) will use their votes to push their reads, so when I see that someone still has a lot of votes it makes me think they do not have an interest in pushing lynch candidates. And off the top of my memory I can't remember any of the stances prplhz has taken... the most I can remember about him is that he just kinda blends in by asking short questions that he rarely follows up on..... which is pretty scummy. I'm not aware of his meta so I have no comments on that part.

Oh and same goes for Austin.. that dude has 9 votes and all I've seen from him lately are weird hypothetical questions... I stated earlier that I want him to share some scumreads. I think I know his town meta pretty well... he likes writing epic walls of texts where he spells out his thoughts on pretty much every aspect of the game and that's not what I'm seeing from him.

ON and da0 also have a lot of votes but they are either so afk or so noob that my read on them is null.

Hiro I am null on. He's made some arguments that I've disagreed with but he's voiced original opinions so I haven't seen anything to point towards scum yet.

I refuse to defend myself against the ignorant uninformed opinion of a bunch of riotters. This is no way to play mafia. You have to look at the intricacies and not follow the mob rule that is usually driven by scum. I leave you sheep to your fate.

My reads so far is that ET austin hiro and kush are town. I honestly don't know anymore about ON cuz I would expect him to try to at least keep apearances as scum.
This djodref is either very dumb or scum. You would never as town (and inteligent) feel that a person that is standing up to you against the majority trying to lynch would be scum. Prpl and mementos are prob scum.


You've been pushed through the bracket for having a top scum read you never talked about or voted for (prplhz) and for not explaining your hunch on the d vs d MU, as well as not caring enough about that hunch (which you said you have faith in) to vote do0 through, and since then all you've done is throw votes on ON who is the easiest and least controversial player to talk about.

Honestly if we were using normal voting mechanics I'd consider suggesting a last minute lynch out of memtoss or maybe prplhz because the longer I think about it the less I like either of our options.

austin are your votes for ON more because you think he's the scummier candidate, or because you are more afraid of sandroba being town and you wouldnt want to lose a town sandroba?

IMO sandroba is scummier than ON, but I am also a coward and I have no problems with a policy lynch... and when you think about it, ON is the perfect policy lynch candidate if there ever was one.

Austin I am in full agreement with that assessment, except that I think I am more convinced of sand's scumminess than you are. However like I said earlier it's only day 1, we have no flips yet, and the lynch mechanics were weird as hell so the more I think about it the less confident I am in my sand votes... I'm going to unvote for now. I'm not quite ready to vote ON yet but at this very moment that's what I'm leaning towards. (policy lynch ofc)

I think this cycle there might have been some wasted votes on MU's that people didn't really care about at the time

Can you explain this? Do you think there's a bigger chance of OriginalName flipping scum than sandroba?


I'm mostly confused by sandroba's posts today. I've never seen someone defend themselves by saying "you guys are so awful i'm not even going to try" and I'm not sure what to make of that. As for ON, I have absolutely no idea what the chances of him flipping scum are. Just complete null read. His only notable action so far, the last minute voting, could have been done by either a townie or scum if they thought they might get modkilled... so he's a complete null read, Sandroba I'd put at a higher chance of flipping scum than most but that doesn't mean I'm confident he will.

Because I'm still considering a policy lynch. Having a scumread on sandroba doesn't automatically trump a null read on ON. And if I'm wrong about sand then that would be a great loss to town.

btw what is your read on memtoss?

ofc it's a crazy association before flip question but i found it odd that you'd say ON didn't get counter pushed when memtoss and austin both have votes on him.

but anyway that's beside the point. you yourself said that you dislike lynching vets D1 so why is sand the exception this game?

Austin why haven't you used all your votes yet? I was actually in agreement with sandroba on that part. I don't see how anyone would either A not want to use all their votes or B trust anyone else in the game D1 enough to 'give' them votes

I think I want to lynch ON... my conviction in my sand read isn't strong enough to vote him, a vet, over a complete null read.

So I have to give a scum and a town read out of the people who got 0 votes? That might not even be possible but i'd say out of the people who got 0 votes, i'd be least surprised if hiro flipped red. hiro is one of the players who I don't have a clear mental picture of (in other words he has basically been blending in somewhat) and those are the kinds of players you need to be most wary of. however the chances of him flipping red I wouldn't put much higher than memtoss' chances, who has been popping up on several people's radar. Out of the people with 0 votes.. I'd say you are most likely to be town. Your meta does seem to be a little different than normal... for instance you are posing the crazy hypothetical "if you are scum what would you do" questions, and there is this weird thing with vote sharing. But I haven't found any of it scummy and you've always been willing to answer any of my questions with a lengthy response.

hmm just saw that having 0 votes isn't a requirement. outside of those people, I think kush is town, i also think both the d's might be town but I'm less sure of djo. prplhz might be scum because he asks questions he doesn't follow up on, he interjects with random statements that aren't important at the time, and i've just gotten a vibe of "i don't want to share my ideas" from him whenever he's been asked a question. does anyone care to give a description of prplhz's meta?

so this means there is likely scum among ET, da0ud, hopeless correct? The switch to sandroba happened pretty late so I don't it's likley that all the remaining mafia would be been bussing.

imo the only possible busser candidates are kush and prp... hiro maybe too but his switch was pretty early on and a buss was not needed at that point.

I still don't like the way austin gave away the majority of his votes.... i doubt he was bussing but by giving away his votes he was giving away his responsibility for the lynch so i'm a tiny bit wary of him

of course that all excludes the possibility of sand being scum, but i'm getting a pretty town vibe on him purely based on my reads of his emotions before and after lynch

Nice to come back to this.

Not that it really matters anymore, but I wanted ON lynched primarily as a policy lynch, which is not as bad a reason as people seem to think. Letting a lurker live without any measures taken, especially in a mini is absolutely terrible for town. I don't know how many games towns have lost because they reached LYLO with a lurker.

Imagine if ON had been replaced, in this case it might've been VE. It's so easy for a replaced scum to float by with the excuse "Don't judge me for my predecessor's actions. Here are 1 or 2 fake cases that will keep you off me until LYLO".

Examples: Marv in TL Mafia LV, cccalf in Sum of All Fears, X in Y mafia x1000


Yeah you're right, this post is completely uncalled for / useless and because of that it rubs me the wrong way especially if you combine it with the fact that you did not vote

there's also djo i think... he didn't have an votes but said he wanted to vote for sandroba right?

anyways we don't know how long the night cycle will be so might as well get our "if i die before I wake" posts out of the way

if I were to hazard a guess at a scum team off the top of my head it would be ET and hopeless. I haven't gone back and looked at anything yet but that's just my gut feeling

I agree with most of that post but still I'm hesitant to believe that memtoss would have bussed ON so early on in the last round. However that's assuming that sand is town which isn't confirmed.

you don't still think i'm scum do you?


I don't know. It was a weird timing combination of you, kush, and by association austin (for giving votes) that pushed ON over the edge... once again that's assuming that sand is town. I don;t remember the exact timings so I'll give my reads on that once I go back and read through the last round of voting.

because people haven't been giving them lol. all D1 everyone was just focused on whoever looked scummier out of each matchup which was probably not the way we should have been doing it

Sorry just caught up on the chat and am currently hiking close to china border so poor network.

One first thing on my vote against San is at the time as default choice between two people I found scummy.
I found more content on sand than on the lurker ON. And at the time I put my votes there was already 11 votes on san. I was following the crowd.
Overnight the defense of Sand got pretty intense and sure would I have shifted my votes towards ON, not that it would have made a difference anyway.
Even if it is not confirmed I am fairly sure Sand is town cause he put his votes on ON to go to the final which would not make sense for a scum to push another scum to face him in finals.
At this stage I am pretty sure as well mementoss is scum. I already put it as second scum read from the round of 4 but now put him as top read.


Ok you voted for sandroba because:

"One first thing on my vote against San is at the time as default choice between two people I found scummy."

but here are the most recent cases of you talking about either of them:

On October 13 2012 11:18 da0ud wrote:
I see as well that Sand voted 7 times against ON to make him move on, when himself was already doomed over Djo.
Hence ON and Sand cannot both be scums. It is actually a good result to have Sand vs Hopeless


So please show me where you found ON scummy. In fact it seems like you weren't "thinking" ON was scum... your reason for voting him was always policy related:

On October 13 2012 11:03 da0ud wrote:
I wanted ON over Hopeless because of ON inactivity and actually ON has posted a lot of good things and but effort in his defense. There is more content to be expected from him to help us get a better read on him in the future.
I do want Sand > Djo which is the case right now. From what i said earlier I dont think either that Djo and Hopeless can both be mafia, hence at least we are saving one valuable town with constructive agrumentation.


Oh and I'm not really convinced about memtoss.... I don't buy that he was bussing ON. His votes for ON came at a time when a bus would have been extremely stupid or extremely clever and I doubt he's capable of either. I think he was the first person to actually vote ON. Maybe a scum memtoss would have figured that sand is getting lynched no matter what but I doubt he'd have taken that risk.

i'm very confident on da0 being scum, and i think it's somewhat likely prplhz is too so that doesn't leave much room for other scumreads. Also ON voted djo so there's that...

Only reason I have to suspect djo is because he didn't actually have a vote in the last round so we have no real way of determining his "true motives".... and his last intentions were to vote for sand. His last reads were prp and hiro and I'd liek to know the explanations for those as well as what he thinks about da0

Honestly I am at a loss when it comes to making a plan to collectively decide on how to lynch someone because of two reasons. A) random mechanic is random and B) tricksy scum are tricksy

However do like this line of thought. Having someone who we think is town, or a town person that knows they're town holding onto the potato for a long time is really no better than just passing it around because of how the random lynch thing works. So I kinda would like to see to potato being passed around for 2 reasons. A) It will establish everyone's top scumreads B) It's more entertaining that way.

If we just keep passing to our scumreads, I think statistically we are most likely to hit the person whom on average is most suspected of being scum.

I don't really know what to say about the hide mechanic other than maybe we all do it immediately? idk

then we might run into a circle of a few people who just keep passing it to each other and everyone won't be involved

if that circle contains da0/prplhz I will be happy

Guys, I know I am town.
If the majority wants me to get lynched, they i will have to go with it.
If so, just give me the potato and i will keep it until the majority asks me to pass it.
If I blow up, then you will see I was town.


Who would you pass it to if we agreed that you don't have to hold it?

da0 if you are town then you keeping the potato does not help town.

why i think both da0 and prp are scum = they both want/agree to hold onto the potato. what town player would want the potato? no town player wants the potato unless they think they know when the potato goes kapow and nobody knows when that'll happen. why would scum want the potato? to gain town cred by pretending not to care if they have the potato.

da0 you should be talking about who is scum... and you;re going to have to try harder than making crazy night action theories. That theory did make a little bit of sense but it's all circumstantial and it assumes that the mods were hovering over the thread at the exact moment the night actions were sent in

Well first I don't think that somebody wanting to use their hide is too much of a tell. Nobody wants to get lynched, therefore nobody wants the potato, therefore people from either alignment would want to hide.

Now about everyone burning their hide.... I really don't know. I don't really know how it'll make much of a difference in who gets lynched, and only 3 people can hide between each pass of the potato so we'd have to figure out the order in which we all do it. I'm not sure we would be able to coordinate that so I'm not really putting too much thought into it.

tldr: idk/idc

hiropro and echelontee should hide. if echelontee doesn't hide in the next 2 hours (he should be around at the end of those 2 hours) i'm giving him the bomb.


and now you're giving it to ET based on....... what exactly?

Townies are wrong most of the time. They don't have the information like scum. They can't manufacturer reads based on this information. That looks like what da0d has been doing all game, picking people to make cases on and manufacturing them after the fact.

Also, to everyone saying lolz da0d/ prplhz pass between eachother. (kush) I want a detailed post on why you think they are both scum. Including stuff that doesn't have to do with ON flipping scum. Also think if you had the potato and you knew you were town. Why the fuck would you listen to anyone else or hold the potato because someone told you to? Holding the potato as town makes no sense. Holding the potato as scum, makes more sense to get town cred. Telling people what they have do with the potato without a good reason, or they will be lynched is complete scum motivation. If I had the potato, I would not hold that thing a second longer than I had to, and would be putting it on my top scum read, not someone elses. Why? You know your own alignment and no one elses. You can only trust yourself at that point.

Da0 and prp are under a lot of pressure. Da0's response is to make cases and prplhz's response is to not make any sense. I'd much rather lynch prplhz right now.

Does this change your view of me from the last page? And it was funny how right after I defend prplhz he ninja defends me, and then subsequently makes a plan to throw the potatoe at ET without explanation.

If you could pick one person to be scum that doesn't include me prplhz or da0d. Who would it be? (only asking your because your my top town read atm)


Idk that will require some reading. But there has been this voice in the back of my head telling me to be suspicious of austin. There's a subtle difference in his meta this game from his meta in the 2 recent games I've seen him play town. In this game he spent a much longer time being lurkish before posting walls of text and I had to specifically call him out to get him to do so. He's also been doing weird shit like asking "if you r scum" hypotheticals... in those other games I saw him jnust being way more straight forward in general. And he only put down a single vote in round 1, then he put down 3 votes for ON in r4 and left the rest of his votes up to me and kush. At the time when he made that offer kush looked like he was for sure going to vote sand and I was on the fence but leaning sand. That's 6 of his votes, or 60% of his D1 actions we cant really account for. I still don't understand how anyone would want to give away their votes. Other than those things I've gotten a very townish vibe off of him but those things have been in the back of my mind all game.

how exactly is it different? only thing I can think of is that I'm somewhat trollish this game.... not really sure why I'm being like that but it could be due to... to quote nony... "substances that we'll collectively call alcohol"

and yeah I'm actually in agreement with you about daoud. I'm also not convinced about memtoss. Lately I've been wading through the filters of hopeless/austin. Austin's play has just been weird compared to his normal meta. I'm used to seeing him writing these exhaustive walls of analysis where he details his exact reads on people... this game he's just been doing stranger stuff and he seems more willing to go into lurk mode if you don't call him out

I pursued sandroba pretty aggressively. I haven't been writing walls of text this game like I normally do but more and more I'm thinking that that's kinda a shitty way to play.

yeah that was part of it but mostly just looking at how well it's done for me in the past. writing walls of text is good at making you look town but it means you're spend less time reading the thread and thinking... instead you just sit there jerking off to how good you think your posts are

Right now I don't think da0 or memtoss are scum. I haven't done the book club stuff or whatever that was so I'll do that later. I'm still not liking something about austin's play but I can't exactly put my finger on it. Also kush is being more dense than usual which often means he's scum so I'm a little more wary of him than I was before.

There's a lot in the tone and motive of da0's posts that make me think he is scum, but I'm having a hard time differentiating that from what might just be language barrier problems, or general first time noobishness. Here are some examples. They include just general weirdness, hints of insincerity, and chiming in with agreement whenever people defend him.

Hi again guys !

Happy to be here with ya all !
I am french leaving in HK and pretty bored at work currently so this game will have my full attention. This is my first MAFIA game on a chat thread, but I have played a lot with real friends in real life. So it should be pretty cool.

One first guess on the voting system is that people who are already given a BYE from first round are at a disadvantage (cause they have one less chance to be out) and on top of that they are higher seeded hence at a second disadvantage in case of 0-0 tie. Pretty unfair isn't it.

I guess it must have been a master plan from the Alien Invaders who put themselves all as the lowest seeded people. I would put focus on eliminating players number 10, 11 and 12 this round if possible.

What do you guys think ?
At least i am trying to put a lead on who is what....

Daoud.

I really dont want to overrule other people's votes by voting more than once.

I also do not want to get lynched, and I am town. I view starting one step closer to lynch as a "disadvantage."

Yes, it's kind of weird phrasing, but townies don't want to get lynched either. I don't read that as really pointing one way or the other, whereas I read his comment about wanting to lynch seeds 10, 11, and 12 because they might have rigged the bracket that we have been told by mods was random as a townie thing. It shows...unhealthy paranoia about things that cannot be true?

Well, as he was the only one really supporting me, he could easily get my trust and getting me to follow his lead on who to vote against, etc.
If he was mafia, then that would be another bullet for the mafia team (ie : getting a townie to follow their voting pattern).
Maybe what i say doesn't make sense, but :
* Let say we are 9 townies, 3 mafia.
* One of the mafia supports the "weird" guy (who is the only one who reads the theme of the game :D)

Oh and I'm not really convinced about memtoss.... I don't buy that he was bussing ON. His votes for ON came at a time when a bus would have been extremely stupid or extremely clever and I doubt he's capable of either. I think he was the first person to actually vote ON. Maybe a scum memtoss would have figured that sand is getting lynched no matter what but I doubt he'd have taken that risk.



Also, he was who Sandroba most wanted us to kill, and from I can tell it's the same deal with ET. Both of those guys are dead. Sandroba's lst words about da0 were:

Just lynch da0ud, then prplhz, then you figure the rest out if the game is not over.


The only reason why I think he could be town is because his scumhunting posts show a lot of townie paranoia. Like a lot. And this being his first game that would make sense for him to be overly paranoid. And he has shown pretty consistent suspicion of memtoss but eh, scum or town would do that.

So for now he's gonna stay at number 3 spot,on my list and will possibly move up higher because I'm not confident that he's scum but there is so much against him (his posts seem forced, he was sandroba's and et's lynch choice, he voted 9 for sandroba)that it'd be dumb to let it slide. Also I think a do0 flip would be extremely useful.

As for austin.... bleh. I've played 1 game with him (town austin) and I've obsed a couple of his town games and he just seemed so much more straightforward and useful than he's being in this game. His word count is still really high but his post just seem way fluffier than what I'd come to expect from him. Also I still can't get over the vote sharing thing from D1. I can not understand how any town player would do that.... first of all that means that you don't trust your own judgement which I don't think that'd be the case with a town austin, and it also means that you have almost confirmed town reads in the people you're giving the votes to. He did it on D1... could he really have been so sure that kush and I were town at that point? Also, at the time he made the offer I believe kush was strongly in favor of lynching sandroba, and I was on the fence but I'd been the main person pushing sand's case all game. I am not convinced that town austin would have shared votes like that.

As for hiro, he got the 2 spot on my list basically because of process of elimination. I don't have the slightest town read on him, nor do I have the slightest scum read. That is very worrying and in the past when there's a player that I'm not really concerned with because they are off the radar, big surprise they end up being scum. I'll look through his filter next.

da0 those points are horrible... it looks like you've just gone through my filter with intent on finding me scum beforehand just so kush will lay off your case.

Am I really deserving of #2 spot on your scumread list because of those reasons? Like of all the scumhunting you've done so far this is the most laughable. Like they're so laughable I can't even begin to think how to respond to them. First you say I've voted for town people... well guess what that's what happens in mafia. Then you say I switch to ON... care to explain what was so scummy about the timing of me switching? As far as I remember I was in the thread almost all day willing to talk to anyone about sand/ON.... look at the starting point when I first voted for sand round 4 and read until I voted ON, and even went to lengths to get austin to put votes onto ON for me... and tell me if you still don't think that was a genuine change of opinion. On your 2nd point... how can you assume that I was trying to suggest anything? You're saying I was trying to suggest that I'm vanilla town... well maybe that statement looks like it came from a VT.... because it came from a VT. For point #3, just lol. You're starting with the assumption that I'm scum and then forming your argument to support it.

that's very interesting i'm going to read through the ON vs hopeless stuff

so correct me if i'm getting this wrong but the logic works out to be like this:

ON is scum. Sand is town. Scum don't want a scum in the finals. That;s why hopleess was originally set to advance instead of ON. We know this because it was ET who pushed ON into the finals, and ET is town. If hopeless and ON were both scum, then scum should have been bussing ON because he would have been the less detrimental loss. It would have made no sense for scum to push a scum hopeless into finals rather than a scum ON.

Therefore the scum plan was to move hopeless (who is town) into the finals?

And look at the voting results:

Hopeless vs OriginalName 15-12
sandroba vs djodref 4-0

To me that very clearly suggests scum activity behind the hopeless vs ON matchup... and the two who voted for hopeless were kush/djo. I suggest everyone go and read the r3 part of the thread.

I see only three possible scenarios:

A) there is scum among kush/djo
B) hopeless took the lead against ON on accident without scum interference
C) if hopeless is scum then for some reason scum decided they'd rather have hopeless in the finals instead on ON

I really think there is something too all this but lets please keep the discussion from reaching wifom insanity

Ok right now I consider the following 100% true, I don't see any loopholes. One of the following statements MUST BE TRUE.

A) there is scum among kush/djo
B) town hopeless took the lead against ON on accident without scum interference
C) if hopeless is scum then for some reason scum decided they'd rather have hopeless in the finals instead on ON

I think it's very, very safe to assume hopeless is town. Apart from the finals, ON vs Hopeless was the most contested matchup. Doesn't that strongly suggest that hopeless is town now that we know ON is scum?

concerning the three options I listed earlier:

For kush to be scum that would have meant that he was bussing the shit out of ON. I checked the voting thread against the real thread and it was kush who pushed ON over the edge. Also I have a pretty strong meta town read on him. Djo, I still think he's town.... but I am way less certain of him being town than kush being town. So now I need to decide if either Djo is scum, or if town hopeless was set to advance into the finals without mafia voting interference. Djo said he thought this would be likely because hopeless was playing scummy even by his own account.


I'm not really sure that I can make much more of this without delving into wifom so for now I'm just going to assume hopeless is town and carry on from there.

kush could you elaborate more about your hesitations on da0? The one reason I think he's town is because he shows a lot of newbie paranoia in his scumhunting process. Like early on he was making elaborate association cases, that kind of stuff. That is the type of stuff that townies do. He's either my #1 lynch candidate or like my #6 lol.

Look at da0's recent posts. He lists me as his top town read. Kush jumps on him for it and asks him to explain. Da0's response was that he needs to "look into" why I'm his top town read. I don't know how he can have a top town read and not be able to give an explanation for it even at a moment's notice. Then after his investigation is complete he comes back and now I'm his top scum read. And the reasons he gave in his case against me were just downright silly. The whole thing just looked like him trying to avoid the wrath of kush so I moved him up the list.

I really don't know what to make of him. Like I've said I want to think he's town because his scumhunting shows newbie townie paranoia (crazy association cases etc) but there's so much against him.... and this last flip flop has been truly wtf.

Hopeless vs Sandroba (He felt sandroba was scum)

but when it was

ON vs sandroba he was no longer sure of anything. His change in tone and conviction is drastic and is not adequately justified. I see massive scum motivation in trying to avoid taking a definitive stance in order to gauge the town atmosphere and attempt to push for sandroba's mislynch.


What are you referring to with hopeless vs sandroba I don't recall that being a matchup

Right now I'm thinking scum are between da0 austin hiro and maybe djo. my town reads are hopeless/memtoss/kush. Da0 is the hardest for me to decide on. He's either way up high (#1) on the list or way down low. A lot of what I think makes him scum could just be newbness or language barrier

and it needs updating because of all the hopeless speculation that went on earlier but I'm gonna wait cuz I don't want to spam the voting thread. but basically hopeless is way more town and probably memtoss along with him. not really sure about djo atm, but i've been getting town vibes off him all game except for the very start

Hi again guys !

Happy to be here with ya all !
I am french leaving in HK and pretty bored at work currently so this game will have my full attention. This is my first MAFIA game on a chat thread, but I have played a lot with real friends in real life. So it should be pretty cool.

One first guess on the voting system is that people who are already given a BYE from first round are at a disadvantage (cause they have one less chance to be out) and on top of that they are higher seeded hence at a second disadvantage in case of 0-0 tie. Pretty unfair isn't it.

I guess it must have been a master plan from the Alien Invaders who put themselves all as the lowest seeded people. I would put focus on eliminating players number 10, 11 and 12 this round if possible.

What do you guys think ?
At least i am trying to put a lead on who is what....

I also do not want to get lynched, and I am town. I view starting one step closer to lynch as a "disadvantage."

Yes, it's kind of weird phrasing, but townies don't want to get lynched either. I don't read that as really pointing one way or the other, whereas I read his comment about wanting to lynch seeds 10, 11, and 12 because they might have rigged the bracket that we have been told by mods was random as a townie thing. It shows...unhealthy paranoia about things that cannot be true?

The only reason why I think he could be town is because his scumhunting posts show a lot of townie paranoia. Like a lot. And this being his first game that would make sense for him to be overly paranoid. And he has shown pretty consistent suspicion of memtoss but eh, scum or town would do that.

So for now he's gonna stay at number 3 spot,on my list and will possibly move up higher because I'm not confident that he's scum but there is so much against him (his posts seem forced, he was sandroba's and et's lynch choice, he voted 9 for sandroba)that it'd be dumb to let it slide. Also I think a do0 flip would be extremely useful.

As for austin.... bleh. I've played 1 game with him (town austin) and I've obsed a couple of his town games and he just seemed so much more straightforward and useful than he's being in this game. His word count is still really high but his post just seem way fluffier than what I'd come to expect from him. Also I still can't get over the vote sharing thing from D1. I can not understand how any town player would do that.... first of all that means that you don't trust your own judgement which I don't think that'd be the case with a town austin, and it also means that you have almost confirmed town reads in the people you're giving the votes to. He did it on D1... could he really have been so sure that kush and I were town at that point? Also, at the time he made the offer I believe kush was strongly in favor of lynching sandroba, and I was on the fence but I'd been the main person pushing sand's case all game. I am not convinced that town austin would have shared votes like that.

As for hiro, he got the 2 spot on my list basically because of process of elimination. I don't have the slightest town read on him, nor do I have the slightest scum read. That is very worrying and in the past when there's a player that I'm not really concerned with because they are off the radar, big surprise they end up being scum. I'll look through his filter next.

and yeah I'm actually in agreement with you about daoud. I'm also not convinced about memtoss. Lately I've been wading through the filters of hopeless/austin. Austin's play has just been weird compared to his normal meta. I'm used to seeing him writing these exhaustive walls of analysis where he details his exact reads on people... this game he's just been doing stranger stuff and he seems more willing to go into lurk mode if you don't call him out

Austin what do you think about da0? He qualifies for a lot of the same nk points you made about mementoss although he's way more in the spotlight.

why, austin has been defending da0 constantly, and da0 has had austin as a scum read, but it was always 3rd or 4th on his list, never a contender to be lynched in da0s regards, common thing to do with scum mates.


because I don't think that scum austin would defend scum da0 so hard

@austin that is a very believable response

But what still doesn't make sense about is that I can't justify to myself ever being willing to share any of my votes... but there was a TON of hesitation about sandroba vs ON so I can see you taking that risk with your votes.

Austin I decided to work out what my new list would be, in a hypothetical scenario where I decide you're town. It comes out looking like this:

1 mementoss
2 Djodref
3 hiro
4 da0ud
5 austin
6 kushm4sta
7 hopeless1der
8 thrawn

That would be my new list of most scum to most town. Mementoss gets the first place because your case against him is very convincing. I'll have to go through his filter again myself but every time you've made a memtoss case I've found it convincing. Of course that list would have to be adjusted based on what everyone else is doing, because we are in fact listing our top choices for lynch instead of our top scumreads. But anyways what do you think about djodref? I think that if you're town, then the remaining scum are probably within mem, djo, hiro. Da0 is a guy like kush said, I don't have strong convictions about. My gut read tells me that his scumhunting has extremely newbie townie traits but on the other hand I don't want to ignore the reads of ET and sand.

how does it not make sense? if one of the people who i've been mostly suspicious of (austin) is making a case against you.... do you not see how that would make me change my mind about his cases if I decide he's town?

if you want to call me scum go for it but please do me the courtesy of saying more than it "rubs you the wrong way"

VE can you further elaborate why you want to lynch austin? From what I can tell it's because you think mementoss is town and the way austin is making his case against mem is scummy.

Is this the main reason you think djo is town because I would not expect this kind of reasoning, especially from you. Scum don't like to write long paragraphs? Are you serious? Did you completely forget about that game where I was sk? What was jacob doing the entire time other than writing long paragraphs sharing his thoughts? Same deal with you that game, his scumbuddy. What about sonic that last game? Writing long paragraphs is one of the dumbest reasons to cite for thinking somebody is town and you should know that.

no I don't want to lynch him because I don't like lynching replacements, especially when the replace in with like 24 hours left till lynch.

As for your case, I don't think the "not giving potato to prplhz" is a good argument. Reading through his filter at that time it really looked like he had good reasons for not doing so. (He planned on giving prplhz the potato right before the 24 hour mark) Other than that the main stuff everyone (including me) has been citing as suspicious behavior was his lurking... well when he gets a replacement that makes me think he has legitimate real life reasons for his low activity. That does not point to townie or scummy... it just means he didn't have enough time to properly play the game so I can't make any judgement calls based on the fact that he was a lurker. Other than that, the posts he did make were well reasoned etc so I don't see anything damming enough to lynch his replacement. At this point my read on hiro is basically null and it's all going to be based off my read on VE from now on.

I want him to flip so I definitively know if he is town or scum because it is going to bother me for a while. Last game I've been through a lot of WIFOM shit (thank you Kush by the way) and the result was me tunneling the town MVP for almost all game. I don't want this to happen again and I'll try to look for other players for a while. Hopeless explanations make me seriously doubting on my case against him (plus I've said myself that obvious scum is usually town, it might apply here again) but I cannot see him as town yet. Hopeless, I got my eyes on you <3 !


Reeeaaalllly scummy reasons to want to lynch somebody.... especially that 2nd bolded statement.

I was asking you if you have seen late replacement in other games.
Also, you did not want to modkill Lesrah during our last game when you should have done it because he was scum


Well this is bordering on the line of stuff we're not supposed to talk about, but from my experience mods don't like modkilling if there's any way they can avoid it. Alignment doesn't mean anything. I only held off on modkilling lesrah for so long because A) I thought I could replace him and B) because he contacted me saying he could start playing. You should never base your case on what a mod would or wouldn't do because you don't actually know what they would do and mod decisions are always subjective so you can't ever be sure. So enough mod talk.

Djodref has had my back against kush, he's always had me as his most townish read, he tells everyone to trust me.... even if he thinks I'm town why would he feel the need to tell everyone to trust my opinion on things? As if I'm some perfect scumhunter? There's also countless other times I didn;t quote where he name drops me as the most townie person ever. Whenever he talks to me, I never get the feeling that he is the slightest bit wary of my responses... aren't town supposed to be suspicious of everything?

I appreciate all the kind words but really it just makes me suspicious of you when you are buddying up to me the whole game.

Right now, a lot of my thoughts on the game hinge on my read on Austin, and my read on Austin mostly hinges on his vote sharing D1. For reference, here are the problems I have with it:

On October 17 2012 15:13 thrawn2112 wrote:

I am not convinced that town austin would have shared votes like that.


And here's his justification for doing it:

I had a bunch of votes left. I wanted to get the most out of them that I could. Just putting them on a candidate is nice, but I wanted to DO something with them, make them work for town. I figured sharing them is one way to draw more thoughts/reads out, and to see how people use them.

So, I want to give some votes away, and I want to do it in a way that gets information. I'll give out votes in exchange for reads. A town read, a scum read. That's a nice balance, and if I give any votes to scum it forces them to call someone townie, which is kind of nice. D1, as part of this weird system, I don't expect scum to call a scumbuddy townie, because they don't know wtf I'm doing. I figure they'll be less likely to try to manipulate what I'm doing, more likely to have to give some real reads for fear I'm up to something.

But I still don't want to give votes to scum. So I need some kind of criteria to determine who I want votes from. Best way to not give votes to scum (from the information I had)? Give em to townreads. You seemed townie, and had been relatively vocal on some players, but you were pretty caught up in the people actually in R3 and R4. By giving votes to you, I forced you to look at a broader scope of players, at the whole game, and make some reads on players who were already safe.

kush both looked relatively townie to me and...I want to encourage good posting. I much prefer Looney Lynching kush to Liquid City kush. In part, I gave votes to him to encourage the change in posting. Call it promoting a readable thread, call it promoting a good town atmosphere, whatever. kush was also mostly concerned with R3 and R4, so again, I wanted people to look beyond those rounds and de-theme the game, play like it were more normal and everyone was at play.


So I both was trying to get two town reads to look at the broader game, to not limit themselves to just R3 and R4 players (no way did all of our scum make it that far). And I wanted to see what your reads would be AND what you'd do with the votes.

That felt like a much better use of my votes than dropping them ALL on a single player, when it was lurker vs. maybe-town-sandroba-who-isn't-doing-much. Neither person was super scummy to me, like I said. So I'd rather make my votes work for town in a different way.


Anyone want to weigh in on the vote sharing?

I don't have too much of an issue with the actual reasons he gave for wanting to share his "extra votes," I'm just kinda amazed that any town player would have "extra votes" in the first place.

I don't want da0 lynched, and I want to know his thoughts on who he wants to lynch before coming to any further conclusions about him. Out of all the people who might be lynched, my gut instinct tells me he's the one who's probably the most likely to be a mislynch.

I don't want VE lynched, for reasons stated here:

At this point my read on hiro is basically null and it's all going to be based off my read on VE from now on.


I don't want hopeless lynched. Based on the logic case about ON vs hopeless, I think hopeless is town. A tldr summary of that case is here:

On October 17 2012 21:02 thrawn2112 wrote:
that's very interesting i'm going to read through the ON vs hopeless stuff

so correct me if i'm getting this wrong but the logic works out to be like this:

ON is scum. Sand is town. Scum don't want a scum in the finals. That;s why hopleess was originally set to advance instead of ON. We know this because it was ET who pushed ON into the finals, and ET is town. If hopeless and ON were both scum, then scum should have been bussing ON because he would have been the less detrimental loss. It would have made no sense for scum to push a scum hopeless into finals rather than a scum ON.

Therefore the scum plan was to move hopeless (who is town) into the finals?


I don't want kush lynched. I'd be quite surprised if he's scum.... both for his hammering of ON and for what I see as an almost identical match between his play this game his town meta.

That leaves me with mementoss, djodref, and austin.

My instincts all game minus D1 have been telling me that austin is scum... there's just something about the general tone and usefulness of his posts that seems different from the town austin I'm familiar with.

Austin's case against mementoss is quite good. However recently mementoss has been townie as hell. I'd like to see more discussion about djo because recently there's been several things pointed out about him, and we've basically been ignoring him all game.

In summary I'll be voting for one of the 3 above mentioned players, not sure which yet. I want to lynch memtoss the least out of those 3, and the choice between austin/djo mostly depends on what conclusion I come to about austin's vote sharing because that is a HUGE issue for me.

Updated lynch list will prob look something like:

1 Djodref/austin
3 mementoss
4 hiro/ve
5 kushm4sta
6 da0ud
7 hopeless1der
8 thrawn

If any of my town reads are going to be lynched I'm going to move myself up higher just so I can move them lower. When making these lists, it's going to be very important in how we rank everybody so we don't accidentally lynch someone we have no intentions of lynching.

oh nvm it wasn't serious

but please tell me why you want to lynch a replacement. the fact that hiro was lurking and got replaced strongly suggests that regardless of his alignment, he truly did not have time to play the game and so his lurking was due to real life issues, and not anything game related. I don't see how you can have anything but a null read on him

yeah that's what I got off of it. reminds me of kush's first game

I think he's a mislynch and I advise other people who don't want him lynched to put him as far down in your list as need be.

Ok here are some things I want to see before lynch

Austin talking more about mementoss

VE talking more about austin

mementoss talking about why he backed down off of austin's case, and if he still wants to lynch da0/djo

kush if you think da0 is town, and he's very likely to be lynched based on the current votecount, then why the hell do you have him at #3?

I was going through filters and this post caught my eye:

MEMENTOSS hypothetically ON could be replaced right? Wouldn't that solve the problem?


Yeah it would, but the hosts don't seem to keen on it so Im not sure.


This post, regardless of his alignment, tells us that mementoss was of the opinion that ON is not going to be replaced. In other words, mementoss thought that ON was going to be modkilled. Why as town, would you want to vote for somebody who is going to be modkilled? It serves no purpose, unless you think the opposing candidate is town... which mementoss didn't. So it makes absolutely no sense for town mementoss to vote for ON, if he thinks that Sand is scummy (which he did) and if he thinks ON will be modkilled. Why would scum mementoss want to vote for ON, who he thinks is going to be modkilled? To gain towncred after the flip.

Mementoss actually gives a close description of what I'm talking about here:

On October 15 2012 20:48 Mementoss wrote:
Also, I'm gunna try to shy away from the connection cases with ON. Simply for the fact that ON was the perfect bus target. He was useless, and inactive so was guaranteed to get lynched eventually and gave easy town credibility on any one voting him. It also gives scum a chance who voted him, to shift the attention off themselves by using oh he voted for ON not to move on in this matchup, SCUM SCUM. So yeah, I'll take it into account when reading filters, but I think ON was probably bussed.


Here's a recap of what I'm trying to say:

Mementoss though sandroba was scummy. Mementoss thought ON was a null read. Mementoss thought ON was going to be modkilled. Mementoss votes for the null read who he thinks will be modkilled, instead of using his vote on the guy he thought was scummy?

that's just my read of your thoughts behind that post. and I don't see how "not replaced" doesn't equal "modkilled"

so wtf else would have been possible

If you're going to admit to ignoring everything I say then you may as well claim scum... you can't possibly be 100% convinced that I'm scum so either go ahead and claim scum or stop acting like scum kush.

And yes your post did serve as a wake up call. I've had kinda a shitty game and I haven't been taking it too seriously, especially after the D1 flip. I think yesterday or so was the first time I've been truly sober since the game's started.

Austin what are your thoughts about the possibility of a mementoss/hiro scumteam? When I look at the final brackets and color in who I am sure of as town, after looking at it those are just the two names that jump out at me.

Oh and you're saying it's useless but it rubs everyone the wrong way the longer you continue not making a list. Same stuff with your D1 "I'm only gonna use one vote till the finals then give away the majority of my votes."

sigh.... I am having doubts about my kush town read. Go read his D1 filter paying special attention to when he talks about hopeless, ON, and sand. His biggest reaction to anything that happened was when people started voting for ON... like he just completely freaks out about it. basically everything he says about ON during d1 is some kind of defense. Also, he layed down those 6 votes for hopeless in the ON vs hopeless MU. I know everyone is giving him lots of town points for being the person who basically hammered (not correct use of the word but you know what I mean) ON...... but scum kush LOVES to buss. It is literally his favorite fucking thing to do as scum. Go look at newbie xxvii where he spent basically the entire last half of the game bussing jacob.

Kush also didn't do jack shit during D2. He just made a post every now and then letting us know the game was won and we should lynch prplhz/da0.

My read of him in D3 is that he is being dumber than what I expect from him and he's being more of an asshole which are both qualities of scum kush.

I know it's a shitty time to bring up a kush case but I have the feeling that a lot of people (including me) haven't actually read kush's filter because they've just written him off as town because of meta reasons.

I'm kind of confused about this here. These are two names that jump out at you?

There are legitimate reasons you could connect them.

VE defends mementoss hard when popping into thread
VE likes mementoss's case on djoref

And probably other things you could find if you went deeper, that's just the last couple pages.

But you're proposing them as a scumteam because they jump out at you? What exactly does that mean?


sorry but i'm saving that thought for later. can't really elaborate on it too much unless certain flips happen that would confirm/deny some of my assumptions

I already mentioned this. But then I thought as scum why would he change his mind about me after re-read and defend me and then take up a case on you without any support.

Also, I can't wrap my mind around that d0ad list. It looks so ass backwards.

While reading this post I kinda got the feeling you wanna lynch into kush/djo for the hopeless ro3 shenanigans?


it kinda brings me back to this post:

To tell the truth I haven't actually ever tried to read through kush's filter until just a few moments ago. I've assumed he was town all game because of meta reasons and the last time I did that he ended up being scum. Right now I'm not of the opinion that I want to lynch him but that he's not as townie as I thought so I'm going to go through his filter and I suggest everyone do the same, especially if they've, like me, been putting it off all game because of town meta reads.

I like flopping, I don't care if it makes me look bad, I'll point out anything that looks suspicious regardless of how many people I end up talking about and I'll take a hard stance once I'm convinced I'm right. Is it the most townie way to play? No but I care less about how townie I look and more about figuring out who's scum.

D1 was pretty stupid because all we learned was that ON is scum and hopeless is prob town, and D2 was spent going "lolz prp/da0 are last two scum." So we haven't exactly had the most pro-town atmosphere in which to make solid reads.

Lynching ON and him flipping scum was pretty much a happy accident... I don't think that anyone except sandroba REALLY thought he was scum.

lol as a side note, in a previous game I made a similar logic case in which I listed 4 options, determined which was most likely to be true, ending up with the conclusion that kush was scum. I ignored/forgot about that case and guess what kush ended up being scum

@mem OK time to really look at that stuff logically:

I think option C is the dumbest option out of all of them. I'd even go so far as to say it's near impossible. So it comes down to option B or option A. This is somewhat of a subjective call but I'd hesitatingly say that option B isn't likely. Other than the final MU, hope vs ON had the highest total vote count and to me that suggests scummy shit going on especially knowing that ON is scum. Which leaves me with A as most likely.

Does everyone agree?

I strongly disagree with this and therefore I am suspicious of your motives behind making this post....

I don't know if there's any merit in the sandroba nk speculation with regards to people who are aware of his ability being likely scum... his veteran status was something that was brought up over and over again during D1 so everyone in the gamewould be aware of it.

I want to lynch one of those two.

There were scummy things in Djo's filter (Hiro and I were concerned with part of his opening post, + more recent stuff), but for some reason I had a gut feeling he was town. As in, there were more scummy things in Djo's filter than kush's filter, as I read them, but I just wasn't reading Djo as scum despite the scummy bits.

The NK stuff is enough, however, to push me over the top on Djo and not go with gut here. So it's ... not MOST of the reason Djo is scummy, but it's this trigger that moves me from "done some scummy stuff but town" to "okay, maybe scummy stuff = scum when you factor in this other thing."

Again, looking at kush's play this game a little closer, and will check to see whether he's so bus-happy (actually, he and someone "bussed" more or less on the next-to-last day of GSL Open 2 iirc). I know his response to my offering votes was not as robust as yours, and was a little silly/dumb, but apart from that I haven't been watching him closely.


I mentioned it earlier, kush will bus like a mo-fo. Check his filter in xxvii. He and jacob were scum that game and they did nothing but bus each other for like half the game.

But would kush bus to the point of being the one whose votes causes the lynch? I'm not sure about that because I've never seen him have the opportunity to do it.

Also I'm not buying your reasoning behind the nk stuff. Nk speculation is just such a weak thing to base a case off of. 1 because you don't actually know why mafia does stuff and 2 mafia often does stuff just to confuse you. Also you say that sandroba's alignment was still in question after the D1 lynch... I don't agree with that at all basically everyone thought he was town after that.

So if you want to make a convincing case on djo.... leave the nk stuff out of it.

I dont understand what the NK speculation is against Djo:

If anything its against da0d because both that died said lynch da0d.
Or against me because as austin mentioned they said I was slightly scummy to them.


Austin is saying this:

Sandroba was still suspicious after D1, and was therefore killed for a reason that isn't being confirmed town. So the reason is that he was killed because scum is scared of his abilities. So Austin is referring to a post djo made where djo said he went and read some of sand's other games.... and that means that djo is the scum that was scarred of sand.

I think it's a pretty dumb idea for a couple reasons.

A) The vibe I was getting from the thread was that sand was pretty close to confirmed town, if not the closest thing we had to that. B) The fact that sand is a vet was something that was made known to everyone in the thread because people talked about it constantly when we were debating whether to lynch sand or not. So EVERYONE that was reading the thread would have known that sand is supposed to be really good.

Not sure if town austin is making a very bad point or if scum austin is engineering a point out of nothing.

Other than the finals, ON vs Hopeless was the most contested matchup in D1. Up until the confirmed town pushed ON through, hopeless was set to advance. Hopeless can't be scum because out of the two, it makes more sense for mafia to buss ON than to bus hopeless. All those things strongly suggest that mafia was trying to push hopeless into the finals instead of ON.

Thrawn I don't want to be the victim of more of your ad hominem attacks, and I'm not trying to level any at you when I say this.

But that reasoning up there is absolutely, 100% retarded.

There was town motivation for voting for 1der over ON.
Maybe scum didn't have to vote 1der because town was already doing it. If djo drops a bunch of votes down, then I say that I'm gonna vote bomb 1der through, why would scum risk also voting for 1der?

This is probably the weakest part of that argument, but I still think it makes sense because of how the matchup had the most votes out of all the MU's other than the finals. And yes... hopeless did some stuff that looked scummy. But I felt that by the end of the round it was clear that ON should have passed instead of hopeless.... like how could anyone not want to put a guy with no posts (ON) into the finals when hopeless had a reasonable town explanation for his actions?

It makes more sense to bus 1der than ON? No I don't think so. ON was totally afk. Why wouldn't scum want to bus him? If he's going to get modkilled from inactivity, a bus is win-win.


Yes that's what I'm saying. You misread. It makes more sense to bus ON, thus hopeless being in the lead until the ET votebomb wouldn't make sense if hopeless is scum

Do you forget that YOU voted for sandroba in the beginning of the day. Austin voted for no one and was going to give his votes to you are me, (two people that wanted to vote sandroba, hmm). You switched off sandroba mid day, but it was essentially a bus with no consequence because 1) he was afk and 2) he still had enough votes to get lynched at that time.


Kush go read my posts during r4. Does that look like someone who is bussing or like someone who slowly loses confidence in their vote and is willing to talk to anyone to figure it out?

And really how bullshit is it to try and make reads off of the results form the voting system used in D1? Right now we have this huge clusterfuck where so many people have accused so many people that by now it's basically guaranteed that one or more mafia is bussing. D1 we learned basically nothing.... the people that voted for ON did so because they were scared of losing a potential town sandroba. D2 was the shittiest excuse for town play I've ever seen thanks to the prp/da0 bullheadedness and the assbackwards potatoe mechanic. And now we're minus 7 hours till D3 lynch and the top vote candidate is probably something absolutely retarded like do0 and people are changing their top scumreads every time there's a new post in the thread. So why exactly, after all that, is it so dumb to try and use D1 evidence to make reads?

austin I think some of the formatting is messed up in the quotes beneath the "kush continues to be concerned with ON and cases on ON" line

@kush

idk i'm watching dexter episodes when i want to be sleeping. Concerning austin, I've had suspicions of him for a lot of the game and some stuff VE said about him was pretty convincing. Currently I think his djo vote is pretty silly... the nk stuff incriminating djo as scum just makes no sense at all has has no basis on what's actually happened in the thread and it feels like a "made up" case or whatever you want to call it. Also he's made this case against you but it doesn't really look like a case.. there is no real conclusion or anything and I don't get what he's trying to say... I'm guessing that he thinks you're scum.. but it feels like he kinda left the question hanging.

also there's the D1 vote sharing. his justifications for doing it were good, but I just don't see how he could have arrived at the point to do it in the first place. He only spent 1 vote until the finals, then used 3 out of his 9 votes for a candidate which, at the time he voted, needed a shit ton of votes to get lynched. Looks like hiding. It just doesn't seem like something a town player would do. the whole deal does strikes me as "guys i'm not gonna take a stance on anything, here i'm gonna let you use my votes because i'm so town"

if you couldn't tell i'm having second thoughts about everyone. i've wanted to lynch him since like D2 based on a general hunch, and it's grown since then into actual reasons, but I just can't make up my mind about the vote sharing business

you say you want to lynch him more than ever but I don't remember you answering my question as to exactly why you want him lynched. just a paragraph or so would be nice.

Actually I guess same request to mementoss too. Let's see how this goes. Mementoss you talked some about kush/djo earlier today, haven't heard anything from VE, but wondering about your current thoughts re: kush/djo.

Since I'm asking, I'll note that I like kush over djo at the moment. That D1 really concerns me, and while I can't untangle the mess of connections and cases and suspicions that is thrawn/kush/djo right now, I'm thinking that if mementoss isn't scum then we've got 2 in that bunch. But thrawn is a side matter for me right now, and I'm more focused on djo/kush.


lol i'm feeling the same way. i've got these somewhat mutually exclusive ideas where either you're scum, there's 1 or more scum among kush/djo, or mem/hiro are scum. hence my clusterfuck of suspicions lately

eh I guess, that's the weakest part of the case. also none of that is confirmed unlike that logic case I made against you in our newbie, so you know how hesitant i'd be about following through on it. "hopeless looked weird enough to get votes from town" is a true statement..... but it was the most contested MU and it's the only MU where we have a confirmed scum and a confirmed town so I don't just want to.... ignore it

1 austin
2 djodref
3 mementoss
4 kushm4sta
5 hopeless1der
6 thrawn
7 hiro
8 da0ud

list is obviously adjusted so that da0 and the replacement won't get lynched

qft. fucking lynch mechanics... everything is so much easier to read when it's a simple majority/plurality lynch. this whole game i feel like people haven't been talking about scumreads, adn they've been arguing over who is scummier out of small groups of people

In retrospect, we should have talked about voting policy a lot more than we did. I think somebody mentioned it, but we should have figured out a way to turn every lynch into some sort of majority rules type of thing. I suggest something like that for the next voting system if it's not some fucked potato thing.

kush I'm noticing a pattern with your votes

votes for da0 in the da0 vs djo MU
votes for ET in the ET vs djo MU (technically he unvoted right before deadline but intentions are still there)
next round he doesn't vote but his thoughts were Sandroba over djo
after the the recent unofficial vote count where djo is tied for 2nd, he lowers djo on his vote list

Didn't you just say da0ud shouldn't be lynched? And why do you think hopeless is scum... I'm just wtf on that one

"I implore you, reconsider what you think is scumminess might just and probably is newbness. Can you see a newb acting how daoud is acting? I can."

austin why would it matter if you reveal or not? mafia are going to know you're blue so either way you'd still be a nk target if that's what you're concerned about

also mods I know it must suck to make vote counts but I'd like one last absolute confirmed 100% accurate count

Hey sorry I'm in the middle of moving, don't have Internet except for my phone. I'll be back online probably a little over 24 hours from now.... Might phone post between now and then but prob not. Oh yeah v e is scum for having such a strong lynch Austin stance even though he's a replacement. First words were something like "Austin needs to go" ....

It's djo or da0 for me. Huge town read on kush and fuck me silly if hopeless is scum. I'll probably look at hopeless filter once I'm on my laptop just to be safe

Just for posterity, I bet there's a lynch mechanic where scum gets to choose someone to be immune to lynch. Makes more sense than just picking a random player.... But who knows it is looney lynching after all

Uhh...perhaps because MMT would have tunneled you with all his might and NOW you get to WIFOM his case.

Honestly I'm past point of caring. Hopefully that'll change one I get Internet back

Da0 that's a lot of speculation about things that are in no way relevant to d4 lynch.... What are your thoughts about this lynch?

only phone posting so can't go too in depth. but djod's caution about the mylo(maybe?) situation strikes me as town. absolutely dont lynch him. da0's d4 posts have been more lacking in content than his others so far but I still think he's town. So that leaves me with kush and hopeless? ew. kush will have really fooled me if he's mafia... he looks so much like town kush. once I get on real internet I'm going to be looking at those two filters. I'd also be willing to listen to some 'da0 is scum' arguments if you've got em. oh yeah don't lynch me either please

as far as defending myself goes... all I really have to say is that the case against me boils down to "thrawn had millions of suspicions and wasn't consistent with them." true enough... but why does that make me scum? why does that make me scummy enough to lynch in mylo? that's pretty much it as far as a defense goes... I doubt I'll be spending any more time doing it from now on unless you direct a question specifically at me

I'm reconsidering hopeless. 2 things have struck me as strange.... We've been parading him around as confirmed town for a long tome yet he hasn't been nk'd... and also for someone who is everyone's strongest townread he sure has done a good job of contributing nothing all game.

soooo game is over right? i'm going to be the consolidation vote? pretty depressing watching it happen like this. absolutely nothing was discussed D4 and everyone just went "yep it's thrawn."

anyways I have real internet again so I'll try and bust out some amazing case before deadline but eh.. my motivation to win this game has fallen off a cliff in the last couple of days

This is my latest theory on the pardoner:
thrawn is scum pardoner. He can't pardon himself though. So.last night he pardoned the scummiest looking town to fuck with our heads.


I thought of that, but he can as well pardon his fellow mafia mate, this would not change anything, with less chance of us catching at mafia person on mylo


Explain the last part of this post please. I don't understand what you are saying is wrong with my theory.

He's saying pardoner scum should have pardoned his teammate instead of a townie.
To your earlier question, if thrawn flips scum I'm probably going after da0ud.


no the game will be over lol don't waste time thinking about it

I think you and daoud are scum. I've been looking at your interactions and they look like fake buses.
I'm curious what are your thoughts on daoud?


Right now I'm most confident about you + djo being town. It's not a read based on any research, it's just a complete intuition read that I feel strongly about. So that leaves ve, hopeless, and da0. Not much more point talking about how scummy VE is. Hopeless... idk. That case mementoss wrote up was extremely convincing and I'm still inclined to think hope is town because of it. I'm just a little bit worried about him though because he's been in the background ever since his "I was acting scummy on purpose plan." But those are the kinds of things that townies do, I did it in the first 24 hours of gsl II. So that leaves da0 doesn't it? If he were a player who had played at least 1 game before I would read him as super scummy. There's also sand who had a scum read on him the entire time sand was in the game. Sand also somehow pegged ON so I really want to trust his judgement. But I keep thinking da0 is town because some of his posts show a healthy level of townie paranoia... any time further spent reading his filter just makes me more conflicted. But just based off of his play in D3-D4, I would probably all him scum. He hasn't really done anything and has mostly, especially D4, only contributed to discussion to off topic issues. I don't really care enough to spend a whole lot of time on it though tbh

summary: i won't lynch kush/djo, if hopeless is scum then just fuck all of us there is no hope, so that leaves da0 as the only person I'll vote for. kinda pissed though because I really want to lynch VE

gg scum

I voted da0, I'll check in on the thread to see if there are any new developments but barring none this is probably it for me

Yes but thrawn's lynch today is pretty inevitable no matter what the odds. Scum is thinking about tomorrow with that pardon.


and see that sad part is I know that nobody even put effort into it. I'm specifically calling out djo, da0, ve, and hopeless. nobody left in the game thought I was scummy or said why except for you. mementos wrote up that big case against saying "if I die lynch thrawn" .... then mafia kills mementoss... just amazes me that you guys can't see what's going on

kush do you remember our last newbie... where town decided to lynch me before the day cycle had even started and how easily it went down? saaaame shit

ok i'm gonna be gone for like an hour or so. i would like to know ONE thing though. just one thing. it will help me ease my mind after this loss.

+ Show Spoiler +
why am i scum? the only points brought up against me are that I was suspicious of everyone.... well no shit that's how this fukinb game works. sorry if i'm not willing to go "OMG GIVE PRP/DA0 POTATO" and sit back doing nothing. sorry that I was willing to discuss every possibility during D3. i should take notes from hopeless who just sits in the background doing nothing even though he's seen as "confirmed town." I apologize for my terrible play, next game I will not scumhunt or share my thoughts at all


so do me the courtesy I've been doing you all game long by sharing your thoughts with me

if you are voting for me because we need a consolidation... well omg we are in mylo more thought needs to be put into this
if you are voting me because mementoss said "lynch thrawn if i die" then good job playing into mafia's hands.
if you are voting me because everyone else is, then you're either scum, or you're being extra stupid and you need to remove your vote

kush the case against me is absolute shit so stfu. only bad play I will acknowledge is that I haven't taken this game seriously, especially after the potato stuff

basically you guys are like "thrawn was suspipcious of this guy, and that guy, and these other guys, all at once!" yes, i have a huge filter and i've been very open with my thought process at every step of the game. i apologize for that

please enlighten me as to how that makes me scum

This would be the worst town performance I've ever seen out of you.

what does this post mean? do you think (or know) i'm town?

oh you mean other than sandroba and austin? sandroba I was talking about for most of D1, and I've been trying to talk to people about austin forever. just because I showed hesitation meant that I wasn't pushing cases? you act as if changing your mind is some huge scumtell... need I remind you of your own statements about da0?

d2 doesn't count for too much, but i was being more proactive than oh lets say, kush, who only seemed to know how to type "gg prplhz/da0"

and kush, even if those examples aren't good enough for you... are you seriously saying that makes me scummy enough to lynch in mylo? because I wasn't as aggressive as I normally am?

for this lynch I was really planning on pushing VE... but either mods or some crazy power role cockblocked me on that one

kush what do you want to talk about? you should start watching mlp in preparation for that game. i'm currently on ep 8. hurry you might be able to catch up and we can watch them together

guys look at my filter.... i've been so open with my thoughts throughout the whole game and that's what i'm being lynched for. please realize there's not an actual case against me and you guys are just being idiots by sheeping mementoss

and why is it suddenly ok to sheep dead players? for example we have ignored sandroba's last words all game.... i guess everyone has run out of steam and are all too lazy to produce any original thoughts

so if you don't want to talk about why i'm scum then at least talk about why it's such a good idea, during mylo, to just sheep the nk target and halt all discussion? like holy shit, some of you haven't even said who you're voting for

i'm sorry but the case against me looks like shit reasoning to lynch someone during mylo i cant see how i'm getting lynched

like... nobody has even discussed my lynch... it's just kinda happened. hell i might not even be lynched people aren't even saying who they're voting for

i actually think lynching ON fucked us over. we started D2 with almost the same info we had during D1 except with a bunch of extra "who bussed ON" wifom

if we would have mislynched at least we would have gotten better reads on people

why did you lynch austin


i was completely prepared to save him but he said that his vote sharing was part of a plan to attract a mafia nk and I thought that was the most ridiculous thing i'd ever heard

gg guys, I was happy to play with you, it was a fun game ^^

Also thank you thrawn for the meta warning, I've started to put smileys everywhere after that

I was not sure how to play it during D1 but after that I found my "story" and I stuck to it


lol at one point in the game i went through your newbie filter and counted smilies per page and it came to almost exactly what you were doing in this game

but to be fair, with my filter there is bound to be a post where I get it right

my problem this game was that I was in various states of intoxication all game long, and I couldn't remember my suspicions from one high to the next

man honestly you looked town but I couldn't understand why you didn't try to lynch or do anything with your suspicions other than state them and change them the same day lol. I guess I would say play more focused and confident.

Also I was drinking for a majority of this game as well.


what kush said about my meta is true... normally i am more focused/coherent/whatever. this game i honestly didn't have a good idea of what was going on therefore i didn't really have any lynches I wanted to push. it was like i was pretending to be town or something, i'm not exactly sure what happened.

lol ok so "real talk" time. i know this makes me terrible but this is what happened with me d3

so i'd been suspicious of austin all game. i had planned on looking into his filter and pushing for his lynch during day3. there were like 5 people i thought about lynching at various times. austin, da0, djo, kush, and mementoss. but then a few things happened that just completely fucked up my thought process:

austin, who had been tunneling mementoss, backed off that case and started pushing kush
mementoss who had agreed with me about austin, backed off that case and pushed djo or someone else i think? not sure
da0 made a bunch of really townie looking posts at some point that made me not want to lynch him
kush was just tunneling me the whole time

so during d3, basically all my scumreads had huge changes of heart..... which just led to even more fucking confusion for me.

so we arrive at a point where i no longer thought any of them had a good chance of flipping scum... and at that point I truly didn't have a scumread. then kush starts tunneling the shit out of me and he's demanding a scumread.... which I didn't have. so i just got lazy and decided "well i've been suspicious of austin all game long, that'll look consistent" and I joinied the austin bandwagon. then his claim came out and the manner in whihc he did it and his explanations for it seemed crazy, so i lynched him

but yeah, there actually wasn't anyone i wanted to lynch d3. like nobody at all. and all the while kush was yelling at me demanding scumreads... it was frustrating lol. early on in d3 I knew I was gonna be lynched during d4. I should have just completely sobered up, not posted for a long time, and only re-entered the thread once I had something useful to say

austin i did not think yuo were town. i thought out of all the people who could be lynched you were least town

anyways it didnt help that kush and i were the only ones willing to talk to you that entire day

I don't like the way prplhz and memtoss have defended each other in the last couple pages

can you please explain to me how you can be so dumb to think that scum are just going to pass the potato between each other? if that happens you can be 100% sure that one of them isn't scum.

da0ud is probably scum and i should just have gone with my page 2 scum read on him and realized that OriginalName's 2 ninja votes were suspicious as fuck but sandroba is just ten steps ahead of me. i might pass it to him but then you have to deal with how he's passing it to a townie Mementoss (doubt Mementoss would have the balls to tell a townie sandroba to sod off in the first 2 pages if he was scum). i'm thinking Mementoss holds on to his hide for now and then he hides when i give the potato to da0ud.


On October 15 2012 21:27 Mementoss wrote:
Work Time now, so I don't have time to explain. Hopefully will before the potato blows

I would MUCH rather lynch d0ad over prplhz. If you actually read prplhz filter he looks pretty town ignoring the fact he really thought sandroba was scum. But guess what? Townies are wrong most of the time. They don't have the information like scum. They can't manufacturer reads based on this information. That looks like what da0d has been doing all game, picking people to make cases on and manufacturing them after the fact.

Also, to everyone saying lolz da0d/ prplhz pass between eachother. (kush) I want a detailed post on why you think they are both scum. Including stuff that doesn't have to do with ON flipping scum. Also think if you had the potato and you knew you were town. Why the fuck would you listen to anyone else or hold the potato because someone told you to? Holding the potato as town makes no sense. Holding the potato as scum, makes more sense to get town cred. Telling people what they have do with the potato without a good reason, or they will be lynched is complete scum motivation. If I had the potato, I would not hold that thing a second longer than I had to, and would be putting it on my top scum read, not someone elses. Why? You know your own alignment and no one elses. You can only trust yourself at that point.



Does this change your view of me from the last page? And it was funny how right after I defend prplhz he ninja defends me, and then subsequently makes a plan to throw the potatoe at ET without explanation.

If you could pick one person to be scum that doesn't include me prplhz or da0d. Who would it be? (only asking your because your my top town read atm)


Idk that will require some reading. But there has been this voice in the back of my head telling me to be suspicious of austin. There's a subtle difference in his meta this game from his meta in the 2 recent games I've seen him play town. In this game he spent a much longer time being lurkish before posting walls of text and I had to specifically call him out to get him to do so. He's also been doing weird shit like asking "if you r scum" hypotheticals... in those other games I saw him jnust being way more straight forward in general. And he only put down a single vote in round 1, then he put down 3 votes for ON in r4 and left the rest of his votes up to me and kush. At the time when he made that offer kush looked like he was for sure going to vote sand and I was on the fence but leaning sand. That's 6 of his votes, or 60% of his D1 actions we cant really account for. I still don't understand how anyone would want to give away their votes. Other than those things I've gotten a very townish vibe off of him but those things have been in the back of my mind all game.


Nice we have the same hunch. I will try to put something cohesive together after work.

Read this if your interested in scum austin: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=372174



at that time my suspicions of austin were so incredibly small and even I considered them to be a little crazy... and you posted this at a time when you were already a few people's scumreads.

i read that post over and over trying to decide if if felt genuine or not... i just thought it was crazy that you would happen to have the same hunch I did, and it happened at a convenient time if you were scum.

so basically after that post i was scared to trust you the rest of the game
