I'm out of class. Gonna go through thrawn's filter, but I'm not sure I'll find anything more than the others have. At the very least it should help to convince myself XD

I'm still going through thrawn's filter (sorry I'm so slow, I'm not even sure I'll be adding much to what DP said), but I'm not sure what to think from Release's big cases. He hasn't given up despite the fact that we've made it clear that we're lynching him, which initially made me inch back towards town. The problem is that scum would probably do that as well. The situation feels similar to when I switched off of drazak earlier this game. The fact that I know his entire case against me is incorrect doesn't make me sway either way, as I think it could be made by town or scum. I guess a summary would be... initially townish, but in the end null.

This is en extremely wish washy post... all I really get from it is that you think release might be a null read.

I'm really doubting the high number of blues we have, and on top of what I've already said before about fuba, his claim is the hardest to accept. He only claimed a role that makes him responsible for 1 roleblock, and there could be any number of reasons why a scum fuba would have known that it would be a safe claim to make. The breadcrumb was basically non existent.

Also, wtf kush I thought you thought I was town all game long... this is how easily you're willing to switch your vote?

I see nothing wrong with my post. It explains my reasoning. His cases had little impact on my thoughts of him.

How is my claim the hardest to accept? My claim leaves an indication that something has happened. I said I jailed prome, and prome was roleblocked and didn't die, which I maintain was a likelihood N2. This is supported by the fact that there were 0 deaths. Your claim is impossible to verify at all. You crumbed a role that you could fakeclaim as scum with no possible downside unless you claim the bulletproof sk is town, and which leaves no evidence that anyone did anything. If I was scum roleblocker, why would I claim 1-shot jailer? It doesn't make any sense. Yours is the easiest fakeclaim.

You say there could be any number of reasons for scum me to know what the SK was doing N2? Please name one.

And breadcrumbs are non-indicative of alignment. Anyone can crumb anything. If I was scum planning on fakeclaiming, I'm pretty sure I'd be MORE likely to have a well-written crumb.

Anyway, I trust prome, and I trust DP. If the scum wasn't release, it would have to be thrawn. I'm up for a lynch on either. The order is irrelevant to me.

##Unvote
##Vote thrawn2112


This may be slightly motivated by a need to be right when I called thrawn scum N2.

How is it bs? Aside from you and release, everyone is either guaranteed town or I'm reasonably sure that they're town. I think you both have the potential to flip scum, and we have enough days to ensure that both of you are lynched if it comes to that. It may be different for other players, since they don't have the absolute certain knowledge of my alignment that I do, but for me it's pretty much set.

At this point, I'm really not incredibly worried about mislynches. One of you two is scum. Of that I'm 99% sure. We have at least two days to lynch you both. I'm more than willing to give my vote to two people who I've had townreads on since D2 or so if it simply means switching between the two people I think could be scum.

The fact that thrawn is at behaving like he's as confused as I am is concerning to me. What he said about having two scumreads that are almost interchangeable is kind of the same situation I'm in. Release, on the other hand, seems to be more certain that thrawn is scum. So is kush, but he's said the same thing about both thrawn and release. I think Release might be overacting a bit. So I guess my question is, for prome and DP: Do you feel more similar to thrawn and I, or Release? I think as someone who's part of the equation I can't make this call.

I was wondering if no one was talking during the hours leading up to the lynch because of tl being down. Too bad :<

I'm leaving his night actions up to DP because planning it in the thread is kinda silly, and I have no control over it anyway.

As of right now, I still think Release is the best lynch. It's kind of hard to make myself wade through his filter when I can decide based on process of elimination, but I'll be sure to get the case up. If anything, at least it will likely convince me more of his scumminess. I'll probably go through kush's too because while the possibility of there being a second godfather is really small imo, the possibility exists.

@kush: my problem with DP being scum, aside from what would be a really good bus, is that he would have been crumbing jailkeeper since D1. Isn't it risky to claim jailer when you're actually roleblocker and there's an SK in the game? Maybe if you can find a second set of crumbs entirely for roleblocker alone, I'd consider it. Actually, if you found another set entirely then I'd vote for DP immediately. But I doubt it will be there.

I'm going to get some sleep now... I should be up with more than enough time to go through release's filter and get something written up. I probably won't write anything on kush unless something really jumps out at me.

So, for me the game is down to one of the following:

1) An elaborate bus and risky fakeclaim from DP
2) kush happening to be given a second godfather role and thrawn happening to check him with the single cop check in the game
3) Release is scum

TL;DR for Prome <3:
Release is scum. He was saved D1 by Muso's unfortunate gambit as well as Hope's intervention. His thoughts regarding drazak during N2 and D3 don't make much sense. He has been overstating the scumminess of peoples' actions for the entire game to make it look as though he's scumhunting, a fact that was noticed by at least 3 confirmed townies as well as DP (who I consider pretty confirmed town). His fake vig claim is weird as town, and I can see more scummy motivation for it. He showed signs of setting up a mislynch and succeeded.


So here is my case against Release. Since I have trouble deciding what's scummy and what's just bad play, I'll be adding in bits from other townies that I agree with.

From Mattchew:
Release comes in to the thread with this post and edit

On November 01 2012 09:00 Release wrote:
to everyone:

Are we asking Millers or Masons to claim? prplhz (the origin of the idea) said millers and now kushmasta has asked for masons to claim (although he does avoid saying mason).

I have to say already that kshmasta is looking scummy.

Since i don't see the advantage of a miller claim, i'd like to know why a miller should claim (from both prplhz and hope in particular).
I'd also like to hear from kushmasta why you avoided saying mason.

On November 01 2012 09:01 Release wrote:
EBWOP: those are three separate ideas, although kushmasta is looking scummy for both trying to change who should claim and being deceitful about it.


He accuses kushmasta of... honestly i dont know... especially after he asks about the discussion being about masons or millers. Kush misread the thread / roles being discussed and thought millers = masons... calling him scum for this is the biggest stretch i have seen in a while. there is no way anyone with any level of reading comprehension would draw these conclusions from kush's posting and reading the thread around it

release is trying to look like he is scum hunting by skewing kush's words from the thread.
Sounds very similar to this:

So, DP Kush Thrawn and Fuba how do you feel about what Release has been doing? Still going to lynch him obviously but do you read him as townier or scummier for these giant cases he is making?


I didn't like the tone of his cases. It looked like he was just going through filters pointing out anything that could be interpreted as scummy and he wasn't really clear about exactly how scummy he thought either of his subjects were. kush if you remember, it looks like the cases jacob was making at the end of that newbie when you two were scum. They aren't actual cases, just lists of things that could be interpreted as scummy.
Acro also attests to the fact that Release is overstating the scumminess of peoples' actions. And DP picked up on the same exact thing. We now know that 4 confirmed (or as confirmed as can be) townies saw the scumminess in Release's case against kush. When I read Release's posts about me, I felt like most of what I've said could be actual town misinterpretations. Prome did it earlier, and we know he's confirmed town. I don't feel like I play the best townie game of mafia ever XD But the fact that three flipped town players (and DP) believe that he's painting townies in a scummy light to appear to be scumhunting, and the fact that until I disappeared last night both prome and DP seemed to be seeing me as town, makes me think otherwise.

Another interesting tidbit is that the post that allowed Release to back off of his mistaken kush case was posted by none other than Hopeless1der. It was also one of the posts that Acro pointed out as having a scummy mindset.

Hi Mattchew. On the one hand I agree with you, although for different reasons. However, I have seen this kind of finger pointing go terribly wrong too often. It is entirely possible Release is a newbienoob (which I kinda suspect given that I have no clue who he is) and is simply jumping on the first bad play of the game, in what I will happily call the second bad play of the game.

My main problem with Release is this post:

I'm not being deceitful about it, I just got their names mixed up.
I think they should probably both claim actually.

@release
Are you suggesting that I'm trying to trick power roles like vig, dt, etc into mass claiming?

Are millers' true alignment revealed upon death?

well, you were assigning Mason traits to the miller, which led to the confusion that it did between who should claim.

Also, you didn't mention mason but the "town who can talk to each other." You avoided saying mason. Mason is clear. "town who can talk to each other" could be mason, but could be miller if someone assumed you were talking about who YOU thought "could talk to each other."

Mafia is a game in which posts can't be editted. People tend to check their posts for any dubious or tentative information. I highly doubt that you "mixed up" their names because things like that tend to get checked, which leads me to believe you said such things on purpose.

I wasn't talking about the mass claim. That was rather obvious.

This is pathetic and reaks of scum. While I was willing to write off his first post as one derp of accusing another derp, this one just seems malevolent. He is trying to paint a scum reason for making a mistake and dreaming up wild unprovable theories in the process. This is not a town move. It's an easy way for scum to (try to) get a mislynch bandwagon going. Nevertheless, it's a terrible scumplay. Holding off on my vote to see where this goes.


Zealos is being Zealos. I have nothing much to say about him yet.


Acro, I just want to confirm that you think Kush derped (i.e. is probably town) and that Release might have derped but it was very scummy and you'd lean towards him being scum. Is that correct?

and I highly doubt you would actually think this

I was confused about whom we wanted to claim and which each were.
So i checked the OP and the thing Hope posted and asked for clarification.

Kush posted things based on a misunderstanding and i don't understand why he would not check the OP or ask for clarification. I mean, in Hope's post-quote, there was clearly a miller AND a mason. So it appears that Kush is
setting himself up for a defense ( as I have said), and overeager to contribute.


I guess you have never played with me before. Most of the time I don't think before I post and I'm quite capable of derps as town.

About your suspicion of me: Let me get this straight. You think my scumplan was to convince the masons to claim then cover my ass by pretending I mixed up masons and millers?
That does not sound like a realistic scumplan!

I grudgingly agree that kush derps pretty consistently.

Am I correct in describing your suspicion this way?

I would add subtly before convince, but yes. And thought. not think (see below).

However, hope has attested to your derp, and that makes 2. I don't have any glaring suspicions to cast against hope so as of now, I will admit that my theory is probably too far-fetched to be the truth.

So in the flurry of comment regarding the claiming, we seem to have dismissed the possibility of enacting a Lynch-all-liars policy.

Another consequence is that more information is in the thread. Both town and mafia know more about true intentions and can react accordingly.

Personally, i am against such a policy because people can very easily say "i changed my mind" and blame/vindication will tend to be imposed base on a town/scum flip.

Why bring up a policy you don't agree with yourself? In fact, why bring up a policy that in a previous game you described as:

Can you explain your thoughts behind bringing up this policy which you evidently don't agree with yourself?

1st bold: I don't want a lynch-all-liars.
2nd bold: lynch-all-liars is retarded aka i don't want a lynch-all-liars.

I agree with myself. However, i don't see how a game 4 months ago has much pertinence to me this game: I have played a grand total of 5 games (including this one) and my mind could have changed between those 4 months.
It was also Hopeless1der who posted the case for Release's towniness, which for me, at least, was conducive to me being less suspicious of him. It, along with his case against Muso (which also distracted us from Release), were also hope's greatest contributions, which I think tells us something about Release.

Then, of course, there's the "I'm doing something scummy, but it's not scummy" post:

I didn't find this scummy at the time, since I didn't see why scum would say they're doing something scummy while they're doing it. But it, along with the Muso debacle, did effectively distract town from what most people felt was a good scumhunt on Release. I'd probably still see this as a null tell if I wasn't looking at release being scum, but I'd have to admit that it did do exactly what he said it would.

Next Release claims that a 1 for 1 trade would be good for scum, when any town would be happy to set up such a trade. This shows a non-townie mindset.

Next is this series of posts in which he seems to be accusing Prome of being scum, but wants to make it clear that he's not subtly trying to trick us into voting Prome based on his choice of color:

My theory is vts do not have character names.
The only person I think should claim is if you are a vt and you have a character name.

You need to focus more on behaviour and less on mechanics.

1. Because if you even did a LITTLE bit of thought you would see you're barking up the wrong tree and
2. Because more claims at this point is opposite of what we need.

Let me spell it out for you. Unless you think it is the bluff of the century (and an INCREDIBLY risky one at that), it is completely impossible that Muso and I are both scum.

That leaves:
1. We're both town. This is possible.
2. Muso is town and Acro is scum. This is retarded. Please answer why scum would COUNTERCLAIM a mason claim with no way of knowing it's not legit.
3. Muso is scum and Acro is town. This is possible.

Given Muso's playstyle I am hesitant to say whether it's 1 or 3, but leaning marginally towards Muso being town.

So, how about you look for scum instead of trying to get people to claim, which is starting to look very dodgy.



Why are you voting me? Note just above you Fuba managed to address some points as to why he thinks Draz is the right vote? Yeah you didn't do that. Now come back and back up your vote with some actual thoughts.

I was on the previous page. I don't care whether you believe it: I didn't see those posts between mine.


As the great Flamewheel said: Wat? I don't care what page you were on, you can still give reasons for voting someone. Now, what are your reasons?

Kush: no one should be claiming until it is truly necessary, there have been enough dumb claims today and we should rely on our ability to play mafia and not our ability to read claim posts.

Well the bolds make me feel like you're playing a game of damage limitation:
You're almost assuming that we're going to lynch town and our best shot is to lynch a town who will give us good information.

The next one includes "or scum." As in: if he is scum, we still don't want to lynch him because we won't receive more information about other scum members.
1) we lynch to get scum, so if we think he is scum, we lynch him. No excuses.
2) if he is scum, we can more clearly see the agenda behind it through his posts, intereactions, etc.

I can definitely see a scum agenda: he is trying to cause us to gather as much information as possible without actually hitting a scum.



Missed this, sorry Release.

you are misunderstanding what I am saying (which in general means I should have worded it better).

1) His lynch seems like a coin flip, so it only has about a ~50% chance of netting us scum (that is Muso himself)
you say 50%. We have no idea how many mafia there are but 4 or less is what i feel is accepted.
This means either (not likely imo) you literally mean a coin flip or (more likely imo) you think that he is more scummy than each of the rest of town (except drazak). I don't see why you feel averse to lynching him because 50% is a very strong feeling in such a game as mafia.

2) a secondary point is that it also won't give us any information.
you seem to mention this in context of the Muso thing so: so what? The or scum and this together states that you would rather lynch a townie to get information than a mafia that "gives us [no] information" which still, seems scummy. Yes, the wording and sentence structure around "or scum" is poor but this is a glaring slip.

The if you are townie and flip w/o giving information: It begs of a "regardless of my alignment, don't lynch me (i just realized this next part) because I have not contributed in a way that would help town were I to die" - to me, that is definitely a slip.

Some of this is a bit far-fetched, but those are what i see.
we should lynch someone who has a higher chance of flipping scum (Draz) and who, no matter the flip will provide us with more information. The primary goal is the red flip, the secondary goal is what we can learn from the red/green flip.

yeah, the red isn't meant to subtly mean scum, it's just a color. Please don't take it as propaganda/etc.
Just my response in a different color.

At this point thrawn picks up on the fact that Release seems to be feeling guilty, and that seems accurate. If he's trying to set up a lynch on Prome, why is he apologizing for making prome seem scummy?

Next I see a series of cases on drazak as well as various now-confirmed townies. There are obvious reasons to lead mislynches as scum, and obvious reasons to bus your allies. One thing to point out is that after hope flips he drops drazak from his list of scumreads until he gives reasons for trying to voteswitch. Release thought drazak WAS scummy, then he did something that most of town found scummy and hopeless was lynched, then Release no longer found drazak scummy unless he couldn't give a reason for his last-minute voteswitch. Also in there, a possible scumslip:

I cut it down because the rest of the post was pretty pointless to include. This is not how I would phrase this sentence as town. You can all decide for yourselves if you think you would.

When Acro calls him on his switch with drazak, Release admits to being wishy-washy. This is something that he's pointed out in my filter a few times, and something that I tend to not call someone else out on because I *am* wishy-washy as town. If he is wishy-washy himself, then why has he pointed it out as a scum trait in me?

Next thing I come to is Acro's claim and Release's fake vig claim. First of all, scum at the point of Release's breadcrumb know that there's at least one more roleblocking role in the game. And they know that they don't have any of the roleblockers, and that it will look strange to town that we have so many blocking roles. So Release breadcrumbs that he's a vigi, gets roleblocked, says it was scum rb because of his breadcrumb, and gets a mislynch on whoever claims roleblocker. Unfortunately for him, no one found the breadcrumb, and we believed Acro over Release.

Doesn't strike you as an awkward sentence?
Ofc i would feel annoyed. We all would.
Who cares if we got the GF? He's scum. There's no point in mentioning the GF specifically.
This quote strikes me as odd because as town, I did feel more relieved that we'd found the godfather. It meant that kush was unlikely to be scum. Sure, the sk was still around, but this was new information that made our lives somewhat easier. This might have been my confirmation bias on my thrawn + kush theory, so I again leave it up to you to decide if you remember being more relieved when godfather flipped.

Then we get to the last few days, where he is alone and not interacting with a scumteam. His vote for risk makes sense, since to his eyes town was able to ourselves into a mislynch. Then we get to his cases on thrawn and I, which I've basically covered above. We talked ourselves into a mislynch and he went with it. He actually helped that one along by mentioning previously that if we roleblock him, scum could hold their kp to force a mislynch. Remember when he conveniently pointed back to that post after we all voted for him? Yeah.

Release is scum, and we should lynch him tomorrow.

It makes sense to bring up the vig claim yourself if you think you can cause a mislynch with it. Your supposed scumreads included acro and kush, did they not? You wanted to get roleblocked and then pull out your vig crumb as a reason for the roleblock, which would implicate Acro as well as kush in a scum pair.

And what would be easily misinterpreted? You thought Prome was scum, did you not? Writing your response in red makes sense in that case. I can't say I would find you scummy for adding red to a response to scum. What I do find scummy is that you felt defensive about it before even being called out (which I doubt would have even happened).

Any comment on why my wishy-washiness as well as kush's is scummy but yours isn't?

Oh, and I won't be here at the time of the daypost. I have plans at that time. I should be here until about 15 minutes before it, though.

I think the deadline for night actions is in an hour. And I'm still working through the LYLO logic. I'll have more thorough thoughts in a bit.

Oh god, DP has a really good point... I was going to say that I would agree to a no-lynch, but after what he said I'm not so sure. There are just so many options for what will happen tonight for me to be sure what I'd like to do in every situation... In any case, I think Release is the best lynch unless a roleblock clears him of guilt.

If there is no nk tonight, we'll be at 4-1 still. In that case I think I'd prefer to lynch Release. I do believe he will flip scum. If he doesn't, however, then I will personally know that kush is scum. DP and Prome may be skeptical, but I would know who it was. I guess that decision would come down to whether or not DP and Prome think kush or I is more townie. In this case, we would at least have two chances to lynch, as well as a roleblock for the upcoming night. If we no-lynch, then nothing changes. We just give scum another opportunity to nk. I'm not sure I like that idea. We could go on forever roleblocking randomly among the three of us and scum possibly holding their nks to trick us. Or constantly roleblock Release and have no nk and constantly wonder if he's scum or not. At this point, I feel like we have almost all of the information we're going to get on anyone unless a nk happens.

If there is a nk, then DP is the likely NK target. It would be 3-1, with prome, kush, release, and myself. kush and I would likely agree on a release lynch. If that happened, and we were wrong, then it's down to me, kush, and prome. Scum would nk and win. If we don't lynch, then Prome is the next likely target, and it will come down to release, kush, and myself. Again, kush and I would likely agree on a release lynch. If we're right, we win, and if we're wrong we lose.

I guess at the moment, in the case of us going to mylo, it comes down to Release is scum or we lose.

All of these decisions may vary depending on the DP roleblock and if there's a nk. I can't say for sure what I will want to do until I have more facts.

I agree that Release should be lynched. I absolutely disagree with lynching me because I've done nothing but tell the truth the entire game. In any case, if there's no night kill I'll be glad that at least two of DP, Prome, and kush are still alive the next day to lynch Release. And if one of you is actually scum, then well played, scum. Well played.

Gotta head out to my meeting now. Hope I come back to a bunch of votes for Release instead of myself.

GG Prome, and thanks kush (also, happy birthday!).

Roleblock confirmed.

Anyone else think the nk was strange?
