Djo, as much as I like my name to be called repeatedly town, it's really too much.
Yes chroniclers idea is bad, get off his back. If the party had failed the event, there might not even be a lynch cycle so saying that a failed party might be better for scum hunting is irrelevent. Djo, now that BioSC has been replaced, who is your top scum read?

If sandro flips town, would you like to lynch syllo after that ?


Nope. At this point the success of the mission tips Syllo into a town read. I'm pretty confidant in Sand flipping scum. If I'm wrong I'll have to re think a lot of things. Back to my long post I gooooo!

Hopeless, how does predicting the party show his alignment?

It doesn't, but it is definitely not scummy to me. He called out what I presume are two townies (event success) very early. That supposed ability is why he was a candidate in the first place, and he has lived up to that expectation in my eyes. Granted, he gave little in the way of reasoning, and it would be immensely easy to do so as mafia when you know which 'newbies' are town (or at least not mafia), but its still a point in his favor that his most recently proposed party (die/oats/kush) would likely have succeeded as well. (Man, Cyrus and Glenn in the same party? IMBA!)

This goes especially for the people sheeping without giving reasons other than him going inactive.


Wait, I'm doing that thing where I care more about the method than the result again, aren't I?

A little bit, but I don't think you're wrong to insist we make a goddamn read for ourselves.

Your case on sand shows that he's not trying to win the election. His activity could be to blame for that.
-> He doesn't give strong or informed reads. Withholding reasons for a townread to me is not scummy until those same townreads become scumreads. If he continues to read a player as town, I'm fine with that. If they suddenly change to scum, only then do I feel I deserve to know his entire thought process. As a candidate for party leader, I can see why people would want his reads to be as transparent as possible, but I believe that winning the events is more important and I don't consider his 'not trying' to be scummy.


Just pointing out that your reasoning is complete shite.

If Sandro is scum, he doesn't magically lose the ability to see who is appearing townie in the thread. Add to that that he already KNOWS who is town and it becomes even easier for Sandro to pick a team with three townie noobs in it. We then get to setup speculation about whether that would make the event succeed, but on the face of it I still think 1 scum is enough to sabotage a 4-player mission.

So Sandro picking a townie team is indicative only and alone of his ability to pick a townie team, which was never in doubt in the first place.


The above post is why I have such a strong town read on Acro, he said not only what I wanted to say in response to this point, he said it clearer and with more gumption than I would have.

Hapa, you will not get my vote today. You come to late to change this election and I don't like that you push us away from Sand/Syllo but don't mention Kita except as a 'joke'


It is a joke. Give me a reason to take him seriously and I will do so.

Also, you need to hash out your read on me because I have no idea WTF you're thinking. You mentioned I'm "easy to read," that you are comfortable reading me and whatnot, but your rationale thinking I'm "suspicious" or whatever is absurd. For example, you mentioned that I'm not the "confrontational town hapa" when in fact I'm also super-confrontational as scum.

Then I see things like this, where you don't mention a damn thing about the important parts of my candidacy (namely my proposed partY) and go off on how you just don't like my attitude on Kita or some crap like that.


You should have taken him seriously because he was making a push that didn't involve Sandroba. He was, for a while, the only opposition candidate and an unopposed mayoral election either means we have confirmed town or someone in his proposed party was scum.

My read on Hapa: not assertive enough to meet either of his metas, there were some early posts which rang false to me and I do not trust him. Too early for me to say scum but not to early for me to have you far from my green list.

Your party didn't matter to me, you did.

What apologetic bullshit? What are you talking about?

It's certainly possible sandroba could be mafia, but I doubt syllogism is. But why does one of them 'have to be'?

Also I take a somewhat perverse pleasure that people like you and Kei don't know how to read me accurately still. Although it'd be easier if you simply found me town, of course.


the "oh maybe I'm reading you wrong because you are trying to post differently" you don't have confidence in your read there which is something I expect from you.

one of them has to be mafia because if neither of them was the mafia play d1 was useless and without goal. I've said this before but assuming that mafia wanted to be in the party one of Syllo/Sand is 100% mafia. The only way this is not true is if mafia did not want to be in d1 party.

Sorry bro, I read you as scum right now; we'll see if I'm still bad or if maybe I can read you now.

Mafia have been ditched in elections before today. If both Sandro and Syllo are town, then mafia never stood a chance in this election in any case. Biding their time and waiting till after they can kill off some of the more influential town players seems like a decent move in that case. Or maybe they have some fiendish ability they can use to sabotage a mission regardless of whether there's a scum in it. It'd be super powerful, but god knows what's in this game.


I believe a mafia player would have created a campaign. They could not have known that Sand and Syllo would own the fuck out of this election. Unless they did not want to be in the party which, as you state there could be reasons for. However it is easier for me, and makes more sense according to Occam, that scum wanted to be in the party.

Anyways, its mah birthday and I'm going out to dinner with my folks and my young lady. I'll be back eventually. I hope the quest goes well, gl guys.


Happy birthday and have fun!

But how are you so sure no scum ran today (or if they did have to be in Sandro/Syllo pair)? Kita, GK, Hapa and Toad all took a stab at it. Any of them could be scum. Why you fixing on the syllo/sandro situation? Because they are the only two who gained momentum? Plenty of reasons why scum is afraid to start a wagon (meaning that if nobody else does, it fails). Particularly because if the party fails they suddenly have their whole scumteam on a scummy wagon. Same as any mislynch really. Scum tends not to be the first to vote.


Naw, I don't think starting a wagon of a scum (two man operation) would look too scummy. First voter is a pretty safe place to be. Decisiveness etc. As scum I love building false cases and getting my vote down early, makes me look townier and I think that scum could risk voting their buddy in this situation.
I am indeed fixed on those that gained momentum. I tried to vote you but even you didn't vote you so yeh, momentum seems to matter.
as to their 'whole scum team on a scummy wagon' I think 2-3 dudes could have started a pretty good wagon as long as one came in with good points which wasn't hard to do since they could bring three townies and still probably sabotage the mission .

Because the shitstorm is flying I want to point out this insightful comment by Clarity. I want this to be noticed by Prom when he gets back.

I already replied to this. but it boils down to two points: 1) Marv was an early voted on Syllo, he could have been distancing himself and 2) Early game it seemed to me that Sand and Syllo would each include the other one in their party. 1 scum in, quest=fail.

2) You're right, I didn't. Why should I influence other people's choices? The best information is given by people making choices that haven't been influenced. The "reads" you quoted there at the end is referring to any reads by a single person. We're supposed to trust the reads of a single person who could very well be scum? Sylo isn't even confirmed town and we have Keir in thread saying he's near confirmed scum. What? No, all we know is that he picked a successful team. I think there's equal motivation for scum to succeed as there is to fail it, maybe more to succeed. I don't even know what happens if we fail the event, but it didn't look like anything happened when we won it. Maybe scum knows the results of a win/loss, maybe having a near confirmed leader was more valuable than risking another of their members to force a loss since that narrows the fault to the four people on the team, while success has now given them the chance to put the entire thread under suspicion. I guarantee if we failed the scrutiny would have fallen on the four and we would be lynching one of the four. How is that good for scum? Why am I the only one thinking of this?

Huh? Are you saying that I'm nearly confirmed as scum, or that I've said that syllo is nearly confirmed scum?

Because neither are true. I said syllo was most likely town, but that him choosing me for the party leaves some room for doubt.

@Oats

TheChronicler is my top scumread. His plan was some bullshit plan he made on purpose.

BioSC was just a scummy lurker and my vote on him was just a pressure vote. Right now, I don't like how VE entered the thread (i.e. "I vote sandro until he comes back telling me that I'm stupid and who I should vote for"). It's almost like he is preparing the field for a town sandro to come back. But I have to hear more from him. Leaning scum at the moment but that's a weak read.

I think the plan was made "on purpose" because he knew he was not going to be elected from the beginning because he is a smurf. You can find it here in his filter.

can't be that hard to make just one or two very likely town reads, no? ^^


I figured I'd add in a system that got us as much information as possible.I never expected to be elected since I'm on a smurf, but I really wanted my idea to be used because I think there's a good enough chance we don't get a townie elected (I've lynched enough townies d1 not to be overly confident in my d1 reads)


If you are town and come a with a plan, even a bad plan, you always have town interest in mind.

His plan was not reliable to assure the success of the event. It was a gamble at most. I conclude that town TC is not really interested in the event success. Ok, maybe, why not, but it's something strange to begin with.
His plan was not about to find town players. He is opposed to the fact that people are openly giving their town reads. I conclude that town TC doesn't want to figure out this game by finding town players.
His plan is all about getting information. So, I conclude that town TC values information more than anything. Would you agree with me on that point.

And yet, this very town TC who values information has made the following choices
  • Not pursuing any scum read. He doesn't want to get the information from any player by himself
  • Voting for syllo on a whiff, while syllo campaign platform was all about retaining information to prevent the mafia to screw with the party members
  • Inability to properly show how the information he promised us was valuable
All these contradictions point that this story of a town TC which values info more than all is likely to be a story told by a mafia player to look town.

For the moment, I have plenty of town reads because I have been looking for town players through D1. The strongest one are Dieno, Clarity and you. Then I'm leaning town on Acro, Z-Bo, Hapa and syllo. A little less on Hopeless, marv and Keir.

TheChronicler is my top scumread. I don't like at all the way that risk.nuke and VE are playing at the moment. Weak scum reads on them.

Regarding sandro, I believe in his explanations for not being here and I still believe that he is town. The wagon against him is retarded in my opinion.

I should look at kita and Prom more closely. Null for both of them now.

Could you have a look again at TC's filter and check all the remarks and questions he made here and there and tell me
  • If it looks like these comments and remarks were useful in any way to get information ?
  • If you see anything they have in common ?

I italicized 'first' because I wanted to draw attention to the fact that party leaders will be changing quite often and I feel as if people are thinking this is going to be a permanent position.

As for the majority elected team, I think it's more logical to do things this way, at least for the first cycle while we are completely in the dark. I don't view polling the masses as dodging responsibility, but rather taking away the mafias chance to have an iron grip on the initial proceedings (assuming scum is elected and starts a dictatorship). By putting the vote out into the open, we also have another opportunity to see where loyalties lie.

I will correct you on this:
1. Polls are a terrible idea in mafia (I have tried to use them myself in my younger more nubby days and they are a terrible idea)

2. Expecting that mafia cannot manipulate a vote (especially an anonymous vote as in the poll system) is exceedingly naive.

3. You are dodging responsibility, because one of the reasons for voting for a leader is so he can be held accountable for his team. If the party fails, then everybody in that party comes under serious suspicion, but the leader most of all: he put a party together with at least one scumster (and probably more, or third parties, or something). Given that town reads are generally easier than scumreads, especially so early in the game, that means the leader either has really bad judgement, someone really fooled the crap out of him, or he is scum. By avoiding this dilemma and putting it up to majority vote, you cannot be held accountable in this manner, thus dodging this use of the party system, which, in the long run may very well be its most powerful use.


I agree with your first two points, but I disagree with the third. Simply because he wants more people involved in the decision doesn't mean he doesn't want the responsibility. I'm assuming he's voicing the idea for whoever the leader ends up as. It's very similar to my idea.

You didn't try to play it up as if the plan was good, or your idea should be brought back to the table. You simply gave your reasoning behind it.

However, the problem is now. Your reasoning for voting for Syllo doesn't feel right at all. Lets look for any indication you think syllo is town:

And least of all here. This reinforces my suspicion that you are scum and didn't need to "think" Syllo was town, because you knew Syllo was town. If someone at any point had asked me (and I believe they did) why I was voting for Syllo, my answer is: I believed Syllo to be town and trust his judgement to pick townie party members. You skip over the "I think Syllo is town" part in every one of your explanations for your vote and justify it with contrived excuses that give post-hoc rationalizations for a sheep vote.

Ergo: you're scum


This is a pretty convincing case and honestly, reading it and looking at TC's filter I'd say this is my answer Djo, I'd like to see TC swing if Sandro won't.
I'd love the smurf to claim, I have a theory on who he is and why he won't reveal that which makes me hesitant to lynch him but if he refuses to claim I will assume I'm wrong and just play as if he is any other player.

The points against him are really strong (particularly the "giving town reads is anti-town" opinion, when his day 1 plan relied exactly on that). Waiting on him to explain more, but I'm liking him for the vote today right now.

sandroba

Nothing in his filter jumps out to me as anti-town mindset. Really, the only point against him is that he's been lurky, when I observed Looney and he was pretty lurky there too as town. Not enough for me to vote him right now.

So, it seems to me that we need to vote for the towniest player possible for the challenge. I think anyone who wants to be elected as party leader should announce who they will pick to work with them so that they have something which they have to stand by. I don't want mafia to be able to choose an all mafia team (or 3rd party or whatever the hell else GreY put in this game). or, if they do I'd like them to have to at least put their stances in the thread on which players seem most townie and most scummy.

Based on the fact that Acro had the same though as me and from our last game together I would currently, put him in my team, along with Acro I would add Marv (come on, wouldn't you?) and as third player I would chose Hapa. Hapa is a guy who over many games I have come to like and respect though I once hated him. He is a great town player and a kinda crappy scum player, seems like the right guy to have along for the ride.

TL:DR My team: Acro, Marv, Hapa

I'm curious if putting one player who seems like a liability (one of the guys known for trolling or one of the smurfs) onto the team so that we can get a read on them from their actions makes sense? It seems like we won't have lynches but knowing who scum is/is not will help town players direct any and all actions which they have and i assume making sure that non-town players not being on the quest team will be a good thing for us as the OP specifies that they can make it more difficult to achieve our objectives.


So, he's already thinking about voting the towniest person into the group as a leader, because he didn't want an all scum party. He even goes so far as to suggest putting a "liability" into the group to test if they are townie or not. But, he doesn't pick people for his group because they are TOWN. He just picks them because he respects them as good players. They are two very different lines of thinking within just those two posts.

But, marv was one of his proposed team, and, he was proposing to put a 'liability' player into the group to test if they were scum. However, those earlier thoughts don't line up with his thinking that a single scum could cause the event to fail.

Now, I'll grant him a little benefit of the doubt here. His first two posts were still during the period of the game when people were guessing that the events were more of a "challenge" rather than a "plug townies in and you win" thing, so the change of opinions could make some sense. But he was still worried about having a part without scum in it earlier, but his picks didn't show that at all.

And now, what really got me thinking about Prom more:

After reading the last ~20 pages I have come to a conclusion as to who I want to vote. It isn't Sylo and it isn't Sand. Their abilities are, no doubt, incredible but I don't like the way Sand took over the thread early and no one challenged him. I feel that a mafia player would in fact have tried to take over. (Remember Matt's reed of Decundo in PP) as such I'll be voting away from the two of them and towards someone who I read as town right now and who is known for having good reads.

## Vote: Acro

Come on boys, lets do this right and make Sand have to fight for his nomination.

I'll be out again for a few hours. See ya'll soon.

That's a clear misrepresentation of what happened. Many people were putting their names out there to be party leader and I came about with a different aproach and it got support based on the ideas in it. Mafia hardly ever goes against the consensus and stick their neck out there to oppose in that way. That's a shitty, if not mafia oriented, reason for opposing me. You even include syllo in it randomly and don't comment on why he isn't the choice.


I'm catching up, but writing as I read.

I have never played with either of you before, I have trouble reading you and while it is true that you gained much support on a good idea. One which you got from reading the OP more acuretly than anyone else (we all thought that we needed strong players on the team, you realized that all we needed was townie players) you are a smart guy and, from what I have read of you, I would bet that you would have made this same play as town or scum. The fact that there was not an obvious counter wagon after you makes me lean scummy on you just as an unopposed lynch on day 1 would give me a townie read on the player who was up for lynch.

I did not address Syllo because he did not seem to be a credible candidate to me at that point. I'm not going to vote Acro as he did not try to generate momentum from my vote on him and I will be voting somewhere else instead.

Sharing is caring?


Sharing is great when votes are made, It is early in the day and allowing everyone to continue to play without knowledge of each others town reads is probably for the best. No need for scum to get a chance to plant seeds of doubt on our town reads or to keep working on rowing themselves as townies if we have green reads on them right now.

You'll know my town read when I am confidant enough in it to place a vote. I'd like to learn Acro's at the same time.


Well that's an easy way to make sure your town reads don't look so suspicious, isn't it?

nah brah, it is how I play. I don't vote for a scum read until I think they are scum even if the thread as a whole disagrees (look at my d1 town vibes on muso in ACME).

I was about to support Kush as a townie. He talked to me pre game about his fear of the size of this game and the themey-ness of this game. He was truly concerned and did want a just Vanilla game. I would expect more posts from scum kush because he would want to match his meta.

My vote will be on Kita, the candidate I trust. The reasons I trust him 1) I am in his party and know that I am town. That leaves only three others in the party and I have a town read on all three. 2) I am very unhappy with how into Syllo/Sand this thread is. The lack of a real campaign away from theirs worries the shit out of me. Mafia would want to be leader or in the party and the only way that is confirmed is if one of them is mafia. Ergo ## vote: kitaman

I'm keeping up with the thread but doing my best to spam less as I have less to say. Trying to keep my posting short and sweet, this thread is hard enough to read without my help.

I'll be around for a bit. Any questions: shoot.


In the first post, he addresses Syllo as a serious candidate, then in the second he says "I didn't address syllo because he wasn't a serious candidate at that point". 1) I do think he was a serious candidate and 2) Prom did actually address syllo. Which makes me wonder why the hell he even said that.

His whole argument about there not being a counterwagon to syllo/sand only makes sense if BOTH of them are scum. If one of them is scum, then the other IS the counterwagon.

But what really bugs me is how he jumps off of the Acro vote because "Acro didn't try to gain any momentum with my vote" and onto kita, SOMEONE HE HAD NEVER EVEN MENTIONED. First off, that argument for jumping off of Acro doesn't make any sense. Does not trying to gain momentum make Acro scum? Certainly not. Scum would 100% want to garner support to get elected as party member if he already had some modicum of support behind him. Of course, he still has a town read on Acro because Acro is in kita's proposed party.

But, it really feels like he's just looking for justification to hop off of Acro and onto the candidate who has him as a party member (and I actually find kita's justification for putting him in the party pretty weak anyways. I'm not positive if that makes me think kita is scum yet, though).

Now, like I said earlier, I can see a townie doing that if at least one of the following two condition are met: 1) he, knowing he is town, believes that all 4 people of the proposed party are, in fact, town (which was what he said) 2) has a scum read on all the other available candidates.

But there are a TON of benefits for a scum to do this. Especially a scum who ostensibly believes that 1 scum could cause a mission to fail.

Bah, I'm kind of rambling a bit. TL;DR - Ran smear campaign on every other potential candidate in an effort to get the one candidate that had him in the party elected.


Kier: you have some good points but you surround them with a lot of fluff. I have not been playing up to my usual standards and probably should be pushed here but adding the early d1 crap where my knowledge of the set up was changing by the minute is silly.

Acro not voting himself was a reason to unvote him because clearly he didn't feel confidant to be leader. He is still on of my srongest town reads but town read =/= leader read. As to my reasoning to vote Kita instead of Syllo (the only guys with votes on them at that time) Kita's party included me (I looked at my role pm, I know I'm town) and Acro, my town read. As well as Deino a guy I think all of us have a town read on.

also Kita posted this early:

I disagree, I think someone being clearly town should take priority over everything else, even if they aren't the most reliable of players.

which is as townie as it gets, now he (Kita) was the least townie of the bunch but he was still a light green while the three party members were dark green. That was way better than any of the other options in my eyes.

You even say at the end of your case that I could be town or scum...that isn't the scumhunter I used to know. Where did your common sense go? You state two things which would have to be true for a town me to do what I did and hey look both of those things are true and present in my filter. (not the town read on Kita but eh, I only developed it when I looked at him again after his platform was proposed). I still thought and think that based on how d1 played out up til that point that either Syllo or sand was scum, now of course I think it is Sand and think that Syllo is town though.

Hapa made a case on me but it is long and I'll just link to ithere I guess I didn't explain well in the early game why I thought that one of Sand/Syllo had to be scum butI think I have since that point. If you want to hear it again here goes
+ Show Spoiler +
there were two gyus who both seemed content to put each other in their parties, there was no strong opposition to these two guys except each other. If both of these players were town mafia would have tried to push a candidate as I believe 100% that mafia wanted to be in the party. ergo one of Sand/Syllo was scum. I was more comfortable with Syllo because he did not explicitly state that he would take Sand, and his play in general gave me more of a townie vibe. If I'd had my way Acro would have been elected but sine things worked out I have to admit that I was wrong to oppose Syllo


Consolidation that I asked for was shut down, consolidation was on the Obama/Romney ticket and no one else. The one party system wasn't working for me.

Z-bo: you are worried that I am playful towards Marv even though I have a scum read on him. Sorry. I like Marv, he is a good guy. I like to tease him and am more comfortable with him as a person than I am many of the other players in this game. I also am aware that my reads are not always right and interacting with players helps me in that respect.

I'll explain more if it becomes relevant. At the moment the knowledge which I will share with scum is the part that will actually help town. the rest of my role I'm keeping to myself for now.

Would you do me the great kindness of going through that post piecemeal and explaining why each piece gives you a scum read. I agree with your read but want to know how you think.
