Somehow, everybody else being scummy (or considered scummy) helped you (=town) this game, because you ended up as the clear NK, so an easy Medic save to hit. Now this is an understatement. | ||

One thing I'd say is that you overthink things once in a while. However, you had a solid game, hence the n1 nk. Most certainly true. I need to be more focused. Make up my damn mind about things and not keep harping about everything over and over again. | ||

Unfortunately I won't have any more time until Feburary so I don't think I'll be playing again for a while. No hard feelings - I'll obs some games, and hopefully be playing again in a couple of months. I think you played well. I think a lot of the things you said were really townie. The lynch of you was really arbitrary and mostly because Jacob, CC and I thought Oats was doc. I don't know how I ended up talking myself out of my town lean on you, but it was fucking 4am and my brain wasn't working. | ||

First Oats claims doc, no one wants to believe him, then CC entered the thread and everyone went full regard and lynched Aqua. I was CERTAIN that scum was behind it so the post I made N2 really reflects how mad I was that we lynched Aqua instead of Oats or even no lynch. I still think it should have been a no lynch looking back. I probably would have switched my vote to that at the time. Lesson learned. Sometimes last minute wagons are comprised solely of insane town members trying to save the scummy looking player who claims doc. Sometimes. lol xD | ||

Remember if there are only two scum catching one is always worth the 1 for 1 trade, no matter if the townie is blue or green. You also had some mind numbingly crazy posts about how Kickstart's d1 wasn't scummy, whatever lead you to that conclusion early on you need to re think. When I talk to him you may see some things which should have convinced you of his scumminess moments after the game started. Of all the townies in this game you played the best; you need to remember that Ockham's razor is your friend though and that the un-counter-claimed doctor claim is probably doctor. Yeah, you're definitely correct I couldn't make up my damn mind. You asked me in obs qt what I thought went wrong but at the time I didn't know, but I think... 1) I didn't organize my thoughts, like at all. I threw out random suspicions, sometimes even before thinking about whether they had scum motivation. I think I have to take some notes otherwise I just won't be able to form any overall opinions at all. 2) I put way too little weight into town reads. I pointed out several times things I thought made CC, Jacob and Aqua townie, but then completely didn't care abuot them. Had I just kept some notes with town/scum signs for every player I would've quickly found Jacob's and CCs columns flood with town signs (in contrast to Kicks). 3) Even though I told myself before the game started that the most scummy behaviour ever is to try not to be noticed I never suspected Helo, even though he who made posts so bland I didn't even remember reading them. When it comes to the claim, I would've snapcalled a 1 for 1 trade. My problem was since I didn't realize a JK + doc was an unlikely setup, I didn't think there was a way to guarantee a 1 for 1 trade. We might've had a legit JK claim, we lynch our doc Oats and lose our JK to a NK. Marv told me that a JK counterclaim is good because it gives us more information, but that assumes that the info we obtain can be used to alter the lynch. I think for you guys in the obs qt it was an easy decision to counterclaim because you knew what combination of blue roles are likely (ie JK + doc being very unlikely). When we later started considering an Aqua lynching I realized CC, Jacob and Helo couldn't be doc or JK, so at least everyone around at that time implicitly claimed VT and I felt more comfortable switching target (but not loving the switch being to Aqua). | ||

Well done to Jacob for appreciating the timing of the claim (no other townie managed this, even though Jacob stressed it repeatedly) This is what I had to say in PM to SDM after the Oats lynch. yamato, take note (you were bizarrely against Oats even when it was confirmed for no reason - you should think about why carefully): Edit: that reminds me. Prome covered the main reasons Kick was catchable Day 1. So reading through Day 1 I picked out Helo, because he did not mention Kickstart *at all*. This totally fits the newbie scum profile whose partner is under pressure, has absolutely no idea how to deal with it, and so ignores him completely. The 'association' here was in fact the complete lack of association. Further edit: by the way, Oats contradicted himself like 1000x this game. scumread/townread/scumread and what have you. Scum are normally more careful. Their contradictions are subtle, accidental, subconscious. Look here: Musing with Hapa on irc, I told him this gave me a soft townread on yamato. On the face of it, it's horrendous - setting up mislynches! But it's so goddamn blatant. Scum avoid saying shit like this. Kickstart's scum mentality of killing Oats whether he was scum OR bad town was better hidden inside a long case. In fact only Aquanim picked up on it. That's the kinda difference to look for in bad/new town and scum. Hmm yeah, I had a town read on Oats for D1 because of those reason, but changed my mind after I got a PM from you. It was not that you mentioned an association case, but that you said that you (unlike me) had experience distinguishing bad town from scum made you find the first scum. I had given Oats a town read all game and to me he was the obvious bad town. So I levelled myself into think you had to have been talking about Oats, and from there I convinced myself he was scum. Fucking horrible, yeah I know, guess why I never contacted you :p | ||

Kickstart: you took the lead role for scum early but decided not to do anything with it. If any of this town had bothered to read mario mini (which no one should ever read it is longer than most of my text books) they would have had you pinned in about thirty seconds. Lucky for you no one did. You also played it safe and went for the townie making the most mistakes (Oats) unfortunately for you you attacked him as bad town or scum and said he needed to die either way. This is not a town mindset at all and should have triggered alarm bells in all of town. Your list post featured Oats as 'slightly scummy' you had tunneled him all day and he had not done anything to change your read a townie would see him as 'scummy scum scum, the scummiest thing since sliced red' not slightly scummy. You needed to make your reads and stick to them. Scum often want to sit back and allow town to make cases for them, you needed to make your cases stronger and to push them instead of being wishy washy. Your reaction to the Oats claim was a scum claim. When someone claims blue town does not automatically believe that as that person might be scum fake claiming; only scum believes them 100% because they know that player is not scum. After having made that mistake you should have stuck to it though, hard defending Oats would have given you a lot of town cred. Or going right for him and getting him lynched. You and Helo chose the easy way out and it lost you the game. Oh man, Kicks' D1 is the one I spent most time reading :/ Here's what I thought was happening: Kicks attacked Oats, I told him Oats actions weren't scummy because he painted a target on his own back and that lead Kicks to chill down a bit on the scum accusations. I'm not even sure that makes chronological sense. Was Mario the game where Shady got lynched early because of spazztastic play? I didn't follow that game, did scum push his lynch? Oh and thanks for your analysis <3 | ||
