O fuck sake really, I AM NOT DEFENDING U I AM SAYING THE CASE IS BAD HOLY CRAP. The fact that people seem to be obsessed with making shit cases on you is something that I can not help. And i don't know if I am going to live to see day2, but if I do I think the munk-e lynch plus the night actions will give me a lot of information to make a stronger case off of. I do actually intend to post something in the night resolution period just in case I am NKed(as should everyone by the way).

Okay from here on out I am going to lie to everyone and tell you that your crap cases are all ironclad, have no logical holes, and are all valid and we should lynch whoever you make the case on. Is that what people fucking want from me? I honestly don't understand this "OMG WHY YOU KEEP DEFENDING" bullshit. If a case is bad, it is bad - irregardless of whether or not I say it or not, it just seems I am the only one being honest and calling out shit cases when they are made.

This is getting really, really, old. This is a game of logic - if you are making a case on someone that is fucking horrid, I am calling you on it - get over it.

I know everyone is making shit cases on me. The only one with substance was SDM, and even then it was a questionable meta read and a decent point about sheeping. The hardest part about this game is I can't tell if people are actually this scummy or it's just bad newbie play and the actual scum are twiddling their fingers.

I like you, Kickstart. I'm really starting to like you. Logic trumps all. I'm just surprised nobody else is like lolthiscaseisterrible.
But CC isn't protown as town. 100% real heuristic.

You keep calling me scum because of my arguments without actually saying anything of real merit against it. YOUR play looks more like OMGUS than mine, sir.

Your A point is null because as scum you would know I'm a mislynch. WIFOM or not, it is true. It's also just a summary of what I've already quoted, which you ADMIT was bad play.

Your B point is plainly false. You switching votes is to get away from suspicion. You can always look back and blame the Munk mislynch on something else. However, if you kept after me and I got lynched, the heat would be on you when I flip town.

You not knowing whether I am a mislynch or not should KEEP you on my case not make you waffle and wagon on Munk.

You didn't call my case bad you said it could be applied to other people.

I know you're responding to CC but this doesn't make sense when he's asking you why you're defending yourself against MY case, which you have said is valid.

So which is it, is my case against CC bad or is it that it could be applied to other people ( a point that I've challenged)?

I'm catching up with the thread right now. I'll gather my thoughts and just comment on things I think will be valuable for town for tomorrow. I'm really disappointed with my play yesterday. I was basically posted whatever the fuck came to my mind without any aim and purpose. Looking through the player list I've expressed suspicion towards almost every single player in this game because that's how I felt (I find it weird so many were content on tunneling one single target). Anyway, that was fucking terrible scum hunting on my part. Even though I found a lot of peolpe scummy you'll never get anything done unless you pick your primary scum reads and put on pressure.

Munk-E got lynched because town fucked up, in part due to basically everyone failing to establish their townieness. I agree with this post and it's exactly how I felt during D1. I'll even go so far to it's a quite townie post by Aqua. I've played a lot of scum but I've never felt this way. As scum you tend to always have some problem in seeing scumminess because you know everyone is townie. This post doesn't seem to come from a scum mindset imo, at least not the scum mindset I've had in my games.

Aqua his hard to get a good read on because he tends not to be around for a lot of discussions, around EOD etc. I might get back with more comments on him.

The fact that is can be applied to anyone inherently makes it a bad case when applied to one person.

I don't think it can be applied to everyone. As I've told you before, you need to prove that point by applying it to someone else IN SPECIFIC. No one else has acted exactly as CC in my opinion, and if they have, you should point it out instead of discrediting my case against CC.

If you agree with the logic of the case, you can't just call it "bad".

Anyways what the hell are we doing this is pointless. I am going to go scum hunting because me trying to explain logic to you is not going to get town anywhere. If someone can not understand why their logic is bad nothing I can say can change that, I can just point it out in the hopes that others will see it as bad logic as well.

Ill entertain you once more Yamato because I think if you are town, it is important to make this clear. Your case only targeted Cheese on "flip flopping" his vote without providing much reason on doing so, at least that is the only thing I gathered from it (the only charge I see you bringing against cheese) - but others have done this. Me for example, I switched from oats to you. Now I did give reasons, but it would be just as easy for someone to make a case on me saying "he flipped his vote without ironclad reasoning, and against this case I would be guilty. I can make the same case against Oats, he switched from CC, to me, to Munk-E, and with each it was basically a one-liner post giving no reasons, so the flip flopper claim can be applied to him aswell. Jacob did the same, voted with very brief reasons if any at all. This is my point, though the flip flopper claim is true, it is bad to use as a sole reason in a case because it is true for most people in the game thus far.

An example of the logic of a case being sound but someone not agreeing with the case is my "case" ( I guess it is better classified as just a general read I have been pushing rather than a case) is my reads on Oats. Everyone agrees that his posting has been suspicious and if town it has been poor town posting, but no one seems to agree with me that he is scum. They agree with my points - he is posting shit, but not with my "case" that this makes him the top scum read right now.

But I'm telling you, I've read all those people's filters. No one was as convinced of their case on someone as CC was of me and then switched their vote. Look at his language. I pointed it out. Has anyone else posted in that manner? No. Everyone has expressed reservations about voting for anyone at all, that none of their reads are strong. So if he seems overly confident in that scenario, it looks suspicious when I flip. If he was town and that confident of my scum behavior, he should have pushed for my lynch. He should have tried to convince other people.

I pushed for Munk's lynch. His behavior looked odd and sheepish. It's unfortunate he didn't post more or we might have been able to avoid lynching him.

Also, I am not sold on Oats as town or scum. His play is too erratic to read that well for me.

That may well be true, but that could just mean that he wasn't as sure of his read as he lead on. There could be scum motivation and town motivation for this. That is something you could look at further and implicate someone on, but just basing it mainly on the fact that he did switch isn't going to do it. I agree with you that it is suspicious and as I said I will look at cheese closer because he is someone that switched his vote onto the Munk-E wagon and I think something will be found from that lynch. With that said we should start making reads and STRONG CASES - which is what I am going to try and go do now.

Here we go guys, an obligitory: Oatsmaster is SCUM!

Warning: If you are allergic to terrible scum play, do not look directly at the quotes in this post. Please consult your doctor before using or witnessing bad scum plays.

As one of the first posts, Oats states the obvious. What is the purpose in giving us information that we already know? Why do you want to lynch a lurker so much D1 -- because you know scum will be active?

Contradiction:

So you agree with me, but then get a scum feeling at the same time. Okay brah. If you think I'm scum, you really shouldn't be agreeing with me at all.

I've got this feeling, this wonderful feeling:

Seriously.
Its a feeling, I cant base it off anything though :/


What kind of town feels someone is scum, but can't base it off of ANYTHING? This is even contradictory in itself, because he later said that he found my 3rd question answer scummy, but here he can't base it off of anything...

Kickstart, I am saying you OMGUS voted me. Which you did.
I would love to make a case on Cheesecake if he posted more than 10 posts...
My vote in cheese is based on FEELING. Your vote on me is because you think that my vote is bullshit. Therefore, you OMGUS me :l


Refusal to give any evidence:

OH YES FINALLY, you say why my behaviour is scummy. :D
My explanation is that his first 2 posts seem off. What do you want? Cheesecake posted less than 10 posts, how can you garner any evidence from that?


How can you garner any evidence from my posts, then? Why are you voting me if literally nothing can be found in my posts?

Pretty obvious statement if you ask me. We just need to possess the confidence to scumhunt effectively. There is a 48 hour window between now and lynch time, so there is no reason anyone should be lurking. If we have to lynch a lurker, meh, but I'd much rather have this "small sample size" inflated within D1 so we aren't forced down the coin flip road.

Anyone else around?


Then here, a reason for people to be lurking is because we havent called them out. He basically says, I will lynch a lurker/anybody. Which is good reason to hop onto any bandwagon that is benefical for scum. Like lynching an inactive town/active but bad town


Firstly, a scumread based on my Pie or Cheesecake question? That's the sort of thing townies overlook because it's a null tell either way. Why is Oats so focused on it? Why does he think it's so deliberately casual? What an easy thing for a scum to nitpick on.

Secondly, he blatantly misinterprets my quote. Where did I say I will lynch anybody??? Nowhere. I said I would lynch a lurker if I had to (which, incidently, I kinda was). The only thing I was saying was I don't want people to lurk. He's trying to find shit that isn't there...

Whatever this post is:

so I think that you are scum because you APPEAR to be helping town when in actual fact, you are putting up a facade.


So much WIFOM it's hilarious. Also, what about lurker lynching is fluff??? That's how almost every game starts (and sometimes drags on forever...) The only thing that is fluff is the joke question, but even then it's one word. Get over it. If you're seriously basing a case on me over a joke question, it's such a desperate play.

Im still on the fence about Cheesecake because he hasnt actually posted any reads, just responded to people.
I am inclined to think that SDM is town because he made a longass post on CC.


Lol who does that? If you made that case to be purposefully bad--Why is your vote still on me for most of D1?

I have a strong feeling that he is scum. I cant prove it due to having less than 10 posts to analyse.

Okay so you made the case so people could see how bad it was... but you still have a "strong feeling" I'm scum? And you still can't prove it. If you truly made that case to be purposefully bad, what is the town motivation for doing so? I really can't think of any.

These posts are confusing. You say several times that you can't write a case from his posts thus far, in response to those asking you to explain yourself, but then you write a mini-case in the very same post. Why didn't you just write this case when people asked for it, instead of repeatedly saying that you can't write a case?

You say that "trying to look casual" is a scum trait, but your first few posts are looking pretty casual:

Why is "trying to be casual" a scum trait when you are clearly trying to be casual yourself?


This entire "trying to be casual" stuff isn't anything new. Furthermore, everyone should be acting casual because it's not a stressful game (yet?). Anything anyone says can be turned into a wifom attack via "oh, you're trying to look like this because [insert midly suspicious post here]." This seems like a very easy post to make, and I just don't see a lot of substance here.

Then, he gives a random post 2 hours after his last, and 2 hours before the next.

You two seem to be agreeing that you don't think Oats is scum. Can you explain his vote onto cheese then, because he apparently can't provide a decent explanation for it himself.


I take it you have never played scum. The last thing you feel like doing when you're scum is to stumble into the thread and make a terrible case with no evidence, because it'll give you a ton of attention. You can argue whether his posts are anti-town or not. They've started some discussions and a lot of people (well, at least some) are chiming in with opinions etc. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter whether it's anti-town though, I've basically seen no newbies play scum like this (perhaps Kush.


I am however inclined to agree with you that scum wouldn't want to draw attention to themselves but I can't get over how bad his posts were, and they haven't gotten much better.


That's exactly how I've been reacting in the Obs QTs I've been in. I see someone who (imo) play terrible and use flawed logic and it pisses me off so bad that I think it makes him scum. Rarely have those reads been correct and I think it's because scum are too careful to use terrible logic. There are better scum tells than someone simply "playing bad".


The mafia has to implicate townies as scum and, using good logic, they can only convict other scum. So doesn't scum have to use terrible logic? Otherwise they with only catch their partners.


I do not understand the motivation behind asking this question. The first sentence is obvious, but the question seems pointless to ask because scum can't use terrible logic or they'll be easily called out on it. It seems like a safe question to ask because the answer is easy.

Afterwards, he comments on SDM's little case on me. Here, he essentially soft-defends me while probing for more information from SDM.

HeloKnight seems to be playing very neutral, not wanting to take that leap of faith into uncharted territory or make anyone angry. Understandable for both new town and scum. It's how i played in XXIX so that's why it strikes me so.

Hold on will post more soon on someone else need to answer some of les questions.


This posts seems completely irrelevent, why post such a long post if you have a null read on them? To give you an excuse to get off their back.

Then he calls out two players, myself and Helo, trying to draw attention away from himself. None of this reads town to me, at all.


I really do NOT like this kind of post from Yamato.

First, he is completely hypocritical because he hasn't contributed two cents to the thread. Secondly, he is answering a question that isn't addressed to him. He randomly pops up when I'm being pressured to cast aspersions on me. Where was he before this? What is his motivation or making such a cavalier, random post?

He is entitled to his opinion, but his convenient timing and content reads inherently scummy to me.


Then he calls Yamato hypocritical when in fact, he is doing the same thing. He has not commented on either kickstart's vote on me or the other people on Yamato.


What an easy point to make. I make a post calling someone neutral, and therefore I'm slightly suspicious of them. There is literally no town motivation for condemning this post.

The second part of this quote is soft-defending Yamato, and doesn't even address the fact that the timing of Yamato's post is Clarity-class scummy. I was not even doing close to the same thing.

LOL ok nice job kickstart. vitrol and fire is a good way to play as town. :D
CC is unusually uncaring about my vote and the fact that no one thinks that I am scum/ he is town.
I think that the best lynch for today is Munk-e
##Unvote
##Vote: Munk-E


Blatant sheep onto Munk-E. Why not Yamato?? Doesn't even mention the other case one bit.

This bullshit:

well. 1 down, 5 to go.


Town motivation for making this post: Zero. A joke? Really? Just after a townie is lynched, he shows no remorse at all and cracks a joke. Something like this is either a blatant scumslip, an arrogant townie, or something that belongs in his QT (they actually aren't that hard to mess up, I almost did it in xxix)

So vote CC anyone?
also yeah how the hell would I mispost that when the 2 sites look TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
Actually I think out of everyone who didnt vote for Munk-e, aqua looks the scummiest


Wtf are you trying to do here, Oats? Spread suspicion on me, for what? Says aqua is the scummiest but doesn't even give evidence to the matter.

the QT site and TL.
Google it.
Kickstart has been emotionally invested defending CC and attacking me. Scum will be more detached because they know that I am town and thus, are not as convinced.
Aqua is the only other dude so by process of elimination, he is the scummiest.
I will look through his filter later and see whats in there


LOL what kind of town has a scumread based on process of elimination?!?! I remember Debears and I trying to find mislynch targets by eliminating the most towny-looking candidates by this process.

On November 27 2012 16:12 Oatsmaster wrote:
So there is 1 mafia in kickstart or Aqua right?
Can you make a case on either one? I cant.


Are you SERIOUS? You think Aqua is the scummiest, but can't bear the effort to make a case or even A POINT against him? Don't get the town to do your dirty work for you.

I am content to sit on cheese? I started the wagon.
So kickstart, who do you think is scum then? after your rant and hopefully your emotions are cooled


This just screams "I don't care what townie is lynched, this one will do." You obviously don't give two shits who is lynched. Why don't you want change your opinion? Prolly afraid of coming off as scummy because you're reiterating that you've started the wagon.

And finally:

if scum kills tonight, 4 v 2. Mislynch 3 v 2, kill again, 2 v 2.
so yeah.. lets get working.


Debears personally told me not to do this in the thread as scum. Town do not think about a lylo situation ahead of time. Town aren't concerned with the state of affairs if x or y happens with nk's and mislynches. Our goal is to find scum, not dwell over the useless. The only people thinking about a lylo two days ahead of time are scum.

Just a quick draft prolly some mistakes in there, but you guys get the drift.

Lol @ all the stuff Yamato is trying to promote now that I refresh. I'll get started right away.
But CC isn't protown as town. 100% real heuristic.

Now that is a good case and probably what I should have done on Oats awhile ago. At least some are starting to see how suspicious Oats play is.

So, what's to be learned from this?

One question is: what happened to the Yamato lynch? Up until four hours before lynch Yamato was leading Munk-E in the lynch stakes.

@everyone who switched from Yamato to Munk-E (in other words, everyone except Kickstart): Why did you switch?
And for that matter, Kickstart, why didn't you switch?


I don't particularly like this broad question and I don't particularly think voting for Munk-E was scummy. I think it's much better to focus on someone who actually did look really scummy during the voting, throwing out those questions makes it so easy for scum to slip by in a sea of answers. My explanation:

+ Show Spoiler +
I was one of the first to express suspicion of Yamato (I actually think Aqua was the first but I can't be bothered to go back and check). I later made the case against Cake, which I thought was pretty good but after Cake had responded didn't feel was strong enough. When I made the case against Cake, Yamato sheeped it hard with really poor motivation, which made me switch to him since I had already been suspicious of him.

When Yamato started explaining himself I got the feeling he was genuine. Yes, this is kind of abstract, but I thought his effort to change read townie. Also, Yamato expressed before the game started that Marv was his role model for town play. From what I've seen from Marv he tends to post a lot of one-liners, so I was getting the feeling yamato had tried the Marv strat, it had backfired, and now he was feeling bad because he had fucked up. He explained what his thought process through-out the game and tried to be more transparent than his one-liners had been. Some attacked him for just restating events, but I thought his way of explaining himself was rather good. What was still lacking was original cases, but I let that slip by because making original cases while defending himself isn't really that easy (and honestly, when it comes to a lack of original cases he had competition of a lot of other players).

(As an aside, the Yamato wagon still gained momentum even after I jumped off. I thought his response to this wagon was rather townie. This is getting really long-winded so I won't go into detail, but for obvious reasons this part of the defense had nothing to do with me switching to Munk-E

At that point I switched to Munk-E. He really had shown no effort and I convinced myself he was an ok vote. I still think he was a better vote than Yamato, but I also still think it was a bad vote in the sense it was a coin-flip. Like I said at the time, it was a cop out and admitting that I couldn't find a good scum read. Basically a policy lynch.


Now Aqua, I'm a bit curious about your vote on Munk-E. If found it weird. If I recall correctly, you made a short post voting for Munk-E. Then 45 minutes later you had typed out a long-ass case on Kick. I know those posts take a lot of time to write. Did you really read through Kicks filter, decide he was scummy, type up that post with all the formatting and stuff all in 45 minutes? If yes, then it seems you couldn't have put a lot of thought into your case and weighing it against other possibilities (weird considering how confident you seemed it was the best case out there).

ebwop: It should be noted that the above post describes my feelings at the time of events. I'm sure there are things I'll need to reevaluate and new posts to take into consideration.

Something I came across in the thread. Did oats ever give a reason for saying 1 down 5 to go? Sure it's unlikely that it would happen as mafia normally are far to careful but why on earth would you say something like that.

Wow, responds within one minute as soon as you're called out, even though you hadn't been posting in the thread for several hours. Lurking much?
