 I am going to go out and assume that Lavos will be a game element and not a player, seeing as he will be "summoned" later in the game. So I am going to assume that the quests are to get to Lavos, and get any town advantages we can on the way (somewhat similar to Resistance mafia). My suggestion is thus to play this just like resistance mafia. Everybody suggests the party they will make if chosen as leader today and gives their reasons. This should be done by 12 hours (or maybe 6, given that it's day 1 and people still need to get going) before the deadline, giving people time to vote on their preferred party leader. To get the discussion started, I would currently choose Marv, Sandro and Syllo along: I know them, I know Sandro and Syllo work well together, and I know they are all good players. I have no clue what the quest will be, so bringing the best players simply seems prudent. However, as the day goes on this may change if I get clear scum reads on any of them. For Sandro and Syllo I feel a scumread is viable in D1. I don't think I can get a read on Marv in D1, but he's still more readable than Toad, who I would otherwise put in that spot. | ||

How do you know you don't gain anything from bringing vets. It's greymist and I am expecting minigames, unconfirmed masons and other shenanigans. Having a player like kush or adam there is NOT a good idea, even if they are town. | ||

That's what I was trying to say: if someone is unlikely to benefit from whatever goodies town can win in these missions, then bringing him along is pointless even if he is the strongest town read. Additionally, I selected Sandroba and Syllogism precisely because I feel their scumplay is easily distinguishable from their townplay. | ||

I think scum will shoot certain players, regardless if they are considered town or not by the majority, if they are town quite early. That makes them not so good targets to be "confirmed" early on because it's a waste. If scum chooses to shoot the "likely town" group assuming I succeed in the mission, it preserves the town vets. If they choose to shoot the town vets it preserves the "likely town" group. I hope this helps clear it up. Well, that all depends on how similar to resistance mafia this really is. Given the fact that the wincon is completely different, I am leaning more to useful tools, and other such stuff for a successful party: things like the aperture black market, ability to PM or useable items. Alternatively, it could be help fighting Lavos. In the former case scum clearly wants the perks just as badly as town does. In the latter, they clearly don't (but if it's a "choose to use"-thing, then they want it so they can choose not to use it). However, you are making sense that giving such perks (or whatever successfully completing a mission does) to already powerful players is maybe not the best way to go about it. Funnily enough, this is exactly the opposite argument you made in Holy Roman, where you were very active about becoming emperor, despite already being a target for mafia. What changed your mind? | ||

1. Never gonna happen: it's like a mayor campaign. Everybody who wants to be mayor will campaign regardless of what you say. 2. Gonna happen automatically: just as any votes, they will eventually gravitate to one or two players: in this case town reads instead of scumreads. 3. It's a terrible idea as it gives people an excuse to lurk (hey, they don't have to have opinions because you have excluded them from being party leaders anyway) | ||

It seems unlikely that there are multiple versions of certain characters running around. For example, if we were to have a likely town character such as Lucca name claim, we could elect her as leader. This however is based on the assumption that the alignment in this game is tied to the alignment of the video game. Until this becomes clear, I wouldn't be confident in trying to abuse the setup like this. Also, we would have to worry about the mafia being given certain fake claims, but this is something that is less of a threat, considering the potential reward. We also have the option as town to enforce an additional party member selection vote. This limits the power of a single player, but it makes it easier for the mafia to sneak in one of their own in the 3rd of 4th slot. I think I'd rather put faith in the elected leader, to avoid the manipulation, assuming myself or my candidate of choice is elected. You're really hanging this on the assumption that scum doesn't have safe claims. In general, I hate mass claims, because they break the game AND have a large chance to backfire. | ||

I'm saying we could use a single name claim, only after we identify that the alignments in this game line up with the alignments in the video game. The mafia likely does have safe claims, but if we select a character at random, the odds are in our favor. The rewards certainly outweigh the risks in my opinion. Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted everybody to claim their name. I still don't like the idea, but I dislike it a bit less now. I see no real point in it. Lets say we get a "Crono" claim. I agree that names are probably unique, but who's to say this isn't a mafia with a safeclaim? Lets put it this way: assuming mafia has safeclaims, how does a name when selecting a character at random have any added value over just plain selecting a character at random? | ||

I don't even want to pick who will be the three on my team, which takes me to the next part of my pitch, and something I hope whoever is leader uses. If I'm leader I don't want to choose the three people with me. I want to choose three people to choose three people who will be on the team. They can choose themselves if they'd like. Why do this? Because it gets us more information. If I'm not chosen leader I'd like the person who IS chosen to implement this system. We still get information from who the leader chooses, AND we get information based upon who the three chosen people choose. So you want to be as unaccountable as possible. I want you to explain what USEFUL information you think we can gain from this plan? It gives us more sources of information, but less information about more things. Seems to confuse matters. How do you plan to put this "extra" information to good use? | ||

If you think it's a better idea then why not have it go leader chooses three > three choose 3 others, can't choose themselves. Leader will want to choose people who he has certain reads on, since he will want the event to succeed, and those three will want to choose someone they have a certain read on. We get information from all the choices, and avoid the problem where everyone will just choose themselves. This is just as bad. All you're doing is taking accountability away from yourself and diluting it in such a way that it is impossible to check who is to blaim for a failure. | ||

Maybe once I establish some credibility, sure, but until then I'd imagine I'm going to be generally ignored. I'm reading every post everybody makes very carefully. I assure you most people in this game are, despite the large volume of posts. From your explanation of your scumreads, you seem to have a decent grasp of the basics: you are going over the way people are posting and why they are posting that. However, the second step is to explain it to us rubes who do NOT have the accuity in discovering scummy motivations in pronoun juxtaposition and verb tenses. Because I am currently more interested in Djoref, can you please tell me what pronouns and verbs made you think he was scum? | ||

What did you think would be the benefits and risks of sending three of our best players? Not reading the thread already? I was under the impression (and still expect it to be a very real possibility), that a successful mission will give the party members benefits (items, mason chat, a level up, whatever) that will help us root out mafia and/or directly aid us in fighting Lavos. The best players in the game are naturally the best equipped to use such perks. That is, if they're town. Sandro brought up a good counterargument, and making scum choose between shooting likely party members and shooting experienced town players is a good policy. On that note, @Sandro: you have not explained why this policy is pretty much the complete opposite of your proposal in Holy Roman, where you (a veteran and likely target for scum kp) wanted yourself as emperor (and thus a likely target for scum kp) precisely because you are an experienced player. On a similar note, if we follow that logic through, Sandro should not be party leader. | ||

The next day, I would reveal the members if the event resolves in a failure and I would not reveal them if the event resolves in a success. I'm going to base my election campaign on this plan. In a battle of information, you should give the least possible clues to your enemy. Of course, it would mean that you have to totally trust me on this one. Trust me on the fact that I'm town and trust me on my reads ! I'm ok if people would rather townhunt than scumhunt but I think I'll spend the rest of my day scum hunting rather than town hunting and of course promoting my own election ! I'm totally open to discuss the validity of my plan and if anyone has some ideas to contribute to it ##Vote: Djodref Djodref for party leader ! Trust me, I'm town and I have good intuition. I'll take my responsibilities in case of failure, I'll keep the info outside of mafia reach in case of success ! I'll give you everything in due time and I'm promoting traditional scum hunting for day ! What if you get shot? What if the party succeeds and you get shot before you tell us who was on it? Party leader and formation (and the team's subsequent success or failure) seems to be our ONLY source of town-controlled information this game. If you die before you can give this info to town, we lose that information. Seems like a heavy price to pay and a giant target on your head. Also, I somewhat expect the game will reveal the party members. Without that, the mechanics would give us very very little modconfirmed information, which seems unbalanced (although if there is enough KP flying around we probably have flips, etc). | ||

In fact, I doubt your ability to pick up scummy vibes from Marv at all on D1, regardless of Marv's alignment. I agree with Toad that this feels like a very cheap justification for parking your vote with no real justification at all. So explain to us all: Why do you think Marv is town unless he gives off scummy vibes? Am I town unless I give off scummy vibes? How about CaveJohnson (add other random unknown smurf here if you prefer)? What exactly constitutes a scummy vibe? I know Marv is rather notorious for hiding his scummy vibes really well. What makes you so confident that your long experience of playing with him let you find these scummy vibes? | ||

I think that that is irrelevant and pointless wifom, because if one of you is scum and the other isn't, you would be dead scared of each other in any case and try to act normally. I think it is fairly normal for you and sandro to have a conversation and it will not affect his ability to mindread you one way or another. However, if you are asking me if I think you are scum, then no, I don't. I am still rather null on you. However, there are things in your play that make me suspicious. Firstly, the things Kita just pointed out, and secondly because I feel you are making alot of your "scumhunting" while actually it amounts to very little. As for my honesty, at least I'm not fakeclaiming mason (yet). | ||

That is all that mafia is, determining what is more likely. You can reduce anything to a level where you can claim it's "wifom" when in fact it is evidence of someone's alignment. WIFOM is a meaningless term used by lazy players, people who do not understand mafia or mafia aligned players who want to wave away evidence of someone being town. I disagree. Most of the time it is worth thinking about whether something is more likely to be said (or done) by mafia or town. However, sometimes it just requires so many assumptions to speculate either way that the argument can be made either way: this is wifom. It is running the argument in circles to decide whether you are more likely to have put the poisoned wine in front of me, or you. In this case, I see no reason why you would not engage sandro in a conversation, regardless of your alignment: it is what everybody expects you to do and not doing so would seem scummy. Given that Sandro is probably the guy who is most likely to figure you out, you have to appear normal most to him. On the other hand, if you're town, it is entirely normal to figure out Sandro's alignment by engaging him in conversation. So yeah: this is completely null and thus pointless. Additionally, I am still undecided on Sandro, so you might both be scum, in which case you would have no fear at all of engaging him in conversation. I do find it slightly townie that you hammer on this point. So a point in your favour. You mentioned three possible reasons for calling this wifom. Which one do you think I fall under? You calling me bad, or you calling me scum? | ||

If he is imba, he is imba as scum, not so much as town. Personal opinion here, but I haven't seen toad make the difference as town. Unlike some other players in this game. Now on to the beef of your post: why exactly do you feel his posts are hard to fake as scum? What specific quality makes you lean town on him?

I feel Sandro is playing very similar to SSM mafia where he "sponsored" GMarshal in a very similar way. In that game he was town.

Sandro brought up a good counterargument, and making scum choose between shooting likely party members and shooting experienced town players is a good policy. On that note, @Sandro: you have not explained why this policy is pretty much the complete opposite of your proposal in Holy Roman, where you (a veteran and likely target for scum kp) wanted yourself as emperor (and thus a likely target for scum kp) precisely because you are an experienced player. On a similar note, if we follow that logic through, Sandro should not be party leader. Made it big bold and blue, because you apparently can't read otherwise. It means I like Sandro's policy and agree that as long as town people are picked I don't mind them being newbs who may not be able to best use any potential rewards, because veterans could be too much of a target for scum KP in any case without heaping more on. | ||

I think I picked something like 5 townies straight without a problem at all, including people like WBG who are notoriously hard to read according to most people here. The only mistake I made was when I gambled in lategame as we had 2 Kenpachi-like people (real Kenpachi and someone like Kenpachi) who didn't play the game while not being able to get a read on Marv as well. I picked Marv because I figured that if neither of those 2 Kenpachis is mafia we've lost anyways because one of them will get lynched at some point and it already was lylo. So yeah I think I'm pretty decent when it comes to that as well. I agree I'm by no way the best scumhunter around and I'm mostly working by process of elimination but that's because I trust in my townreads so heavily and they're never wrong. So yeah I think I'm the right guy for the job. Not saying you're not. Just that I have reservations voting for you, and correcting the jubjubs as to your reputation. I've seen you play good as town. I've seen you play better as scum. I saw you are running and I like that. What makes you a better candidate than syllo or sandro? | ||

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. | ||

If you agree that the theme could be serious, consider that the first mission in Chrono Trigger is also in a church. The playable characters are Crono, Lucca and Frog. Of these, I feel Frog is the most important, lorewise, in this mission. I don't think an outright claim is in order, but it might be worth considering, if you're one of these chars, in particular Frog, and running for the campaign, to make a more serious go at becoming the party leader. Frog, of all the characters, seems like he would wield the most influence in favour of town in the first mission of Chrono Trigger, assuming lore is an important aspect of this game. | ||

I like your frankness, but still have a hard time reading you as town. Additionally Prom has been playing very differently from normal. While I have no reason to suspect he's scum, I don't have a townread on him either. I am quite happy with your Dino choice and myself, and will go over both your filters again. @Syllo: I think your choice to keep the party secret is not alignment indicative, but rather something you would do in any case. I was leaning town on you before and nothing has changed. However, I am uncertain about putting blind faith in your choice. @Sandro: If Syllo hadn't said you were scum, I would be campaigning quite hard for you right now. However, you and Syllo know eachother well and his thoughts about you have a lot of weight. I want to see you two interact more. I have to agree with risk: why do you have such a strong town read on Oats? I agree with Prom that Oats looks mostly like a try-hard excited newbie, which is not alignment indicative. @GK: I don't trust you and I don't know why I should vote for you. I prefer a team with Dieno and Kush over a team with GK and Djodref. So why would I vote for you? In fact, why would YOU vote for you, rather than Sandro? In closing: I am still on the fence. I will decide between Kita, Sandro and Syllo. | ||

The most recent post of his that I found off was the one where he suggested for Frog should attempt to run a campaign without claiming and he based this on, in my view, laughable suggestion that frog was a playable character in the first mission of the game. It seemed like a complete fluff post rather than a serious well-thought of suggestion. I admit I didn't have a clear idea of how Frog (or Crono/Lucca) should have played that without claiming unless he was one of the clear candidates for party leader in the first place. I was actually hoping someone would like the idea and help me with the details of how Frog could put himself forward without claiming, but in the end Frog just came forward and claimed. While I think roleclaiming (or nameclaiming in this case) on D1 is almost always a bad idea, I find the claim believable and I think the lore-based approach in general deserves more consideration, so I think Frog is a good candidate to take along on D1. | ||

There is one post in particular that made alarmbells go off and I don't know how people read this without it just setting off scumdars. It's long, so in spoilers: + Show Spoiler + On November 22 2012 12:11 goodkarma wrote: My current thoughts on party leader: So... It would seem that syllo has yet to make any additional moves, and sandoba, while back, hasn't really made that much of an additional comment on his party he's taking with him. This sounds insincere. He phrases it as if this is a bad thing, but all we really need to know is whether the party leader is town and able to pick other townies accurately. Why is no additional moves a negative reflection on them? Firstly, sandroba has now made it clear that he strongly believes syllo to be town. I do not have the "meta" read priveleges that he does, and as such, cannot make this read. Yet, at this point I would go so far as to say that sandroba has put so much faith into syllo that a vote for either is semi-interchangable. Between the two of them, I see one party leader ticket. I don't have presently a town read on syllo, and so am less comfortable voting for Sandroba than I previously was. Clearly false, as Syllo had already said that he thought there was a good chance Sandro was scum. Moreover, the whole game, Syllo has been far more reserved towards Sandro than the other way round. Sandro seems to have an early town read on Syllo, while the reverse was quite obviously not true: in fact, reading between the lines the opposite could be expected, because Syllo said he'd be lazy if he was confident in Sandro, yet decided to run for leader all the same. Sandroba, who was someone I was very excited about having as party leader with his solid early ideas for how to select his party, also has yet to provide some idea of who he's considering at present for his party. This is another point that makes me less comfortable voting Sandroba. I'm still leaning towards sandroba being town, but I question why it is he has become fairly quiet relative to the beginning of the game. So, in Summary...: While many here give Sandroba/Syllo respect for being a "vet," it's incredibly hard for me to sort through a sea of one-liners and go, "That guy is definitely town..." Actually, insert Marv's name here too as he's guiltiest of this... Fair enough. My Current Plan: I will be reassessing my reads by going back through everyone's filters, and selecting my own party. There are plenty here who are not as familiar with my "meta," or who have never played with me before. I can understand how it is that it would be hard for them to vote for me or take me as seriously as their favorite vet. However, blindly voting your favorite guy is a system I refuse to be a part of. The heavy vet preference from other players comes, as best I can tell, from this logic: "Well, I'm too lazy/incompetent/troll to play this game so I want to vote for someone who I know actually tries..." Blatant misrepresentation of people's thought process. While I appreciate that you don't want to follow Sandroba and/or Syllogism, you are insinuating that anybody voting for a veteran is a sheeple. Some might be, but others have a conscious decision process. Electing someone you trust to form a good party is important, because that is ALL you have control over. The criteria for a good party leader are: he's town and he's able to pick other town. That invariably leads to veterans over newbies, because of the second criteria. The ONLY question is thus whether a veteran, who we have all established can read townies well, is actually town. At this point you seem to think Sandroba is town, yet are doing everything to discredit him. What I am left with is a sense of unease about why you want to be party leader so badly. So your reads on others may not be perfect, but who cares? Why even bother playing a game of mafia if you're just going to throw all your eggs into one basket like all you who have voted for sandroba/syllo have? I myself would rather put all my money on red at the roulette table + Show Spoiler + (I know, how cliche -_-) More of the same. However, there is more here: people are not implicitly trusting Sandroba (Syllo would be blind faith in his ability to pick town): Sandroba is giving out his newbie town reads that he intends to take along with him, and it has been my impression from the start of the game that he would be upfront with this information. You are thus misrepresenting Sandro (not Syllo) as a gamble on their ability to pick town, which is simply not true. Mafia manipulation: Many of you seem to fear that it will be super-easy for mafia to hide in a setup where they don't necessarily need to spend all that much time faking scumhunting. But when you blindly vote for one guy you are missing an amazing opportunity to spot them out. By voting for a known 4-person party (where the party leader presents his choices) you are doing a better job of forcing their hand. They will be trying to steer the vote towards selecting their own members, and their voting should reflect that. Has advantages and disadvantages. A 4-man team that has a scum will be more likely to get scum backing than a 4-man team without that member. However, without the posterior information that the team actually failed (and therefore had scum in it), that backing is meaningless. I prefer to have successful teams that go a long way to confirm town members than unsuccessful teams. Especially without a lynching mechanism. Even then, it is a 4-man team and I really doubt we have the resources to do 3-1 trades. As an added bonus, this allows you to spread your risk. You can determine if the choices of the party leader match up to your own, and at least to some degree, determine how likely it is that the party has a mafia member in it. By voting for a singular leader, it's an all or nothing proposition. They get their candidate in, or they don't. Either way, we get far less information from that. We will not be able to narrow down what went wrong should things go wrong. Is it a scum party leader with questionable choices or a town party leader with questionable choices? The only way you'd know for sure is to lynch every party leader who fails his mission... This is a system I am wholeheartedly opposed to. Still. I don't know why you think anybody was doing this at this point... In Conclusion: Nothing in this game is certain, but what I am certain of is that there's not a snowflake's prayer in hell I'm voting for either sandroba or syllo (or should I say sandollo?) until they provide more information on who they're bringing and why. I wasn't altogether serious about "running for office" before but I am now. I am unhappy with what I see and will be making a post outlining who I'll bring and why within the next couple hours. Fair enough. I got the general sense of unease in that he was misrepresenting Sandroba's campaign and misrepresenting people's intentions for voting. This is manipulative. I am still not sure it's scum manipulative, or a townie who is doing the wrong thing because he really wants to get a shot at leading a party. Either way, I felt uncomfortable reading this post and the rest of GK's filter does not swing me towards a town interpretation of the manipulation. | ||

I recognize that this is a town quality for some. Players like Sandro and Palmar just give up the minute they see the red name in the role PM. Risk.nuke did a similar thing with SK last game. However, being energetic and excited in your first game ever is NOT a town trait: it is a trait of being excited. That brings us to the content of his posts... and frankly this is a problem. There seems to be very little train-of-thought and a LOT of requiring confirmation from players that he feels are better than him. This could be insecurity, because it's his first game, or it could be scum trying to get town queues that he is on the right track. His case on Clarity is not too good and he harps on about it a bit, but I don't feel this is alignment indicative. More problematic is his stance on Toad. I am still unclear why he thinks that he can get a read on Toad. He has no experience playing with him and has been warned, repeatedly, that Toad is wiley.

I think that its hard to fake as scum because, it is likely that his scum team will have some newbies and what he said in his few paragraphs are how to see scum which I see as only being beneficial as town. 3. I am leaning town on him AT THE MOMENT because again, posts like this help to inform town not to let things like this happen. They don't sound sincere. He doesn't "think" scum would start their opening post with a scumread. I have no clue why he thinks that and could point to numerous games where this assumption is patently proven false.

However, I don't see how you can get a town read with this kind of play. | ||

I'm saying we could use a single name claim, only after we identify that the alignments in this game line up with the alignments in the video game. The mafia likely does have safe claims, but if we select a character at random, the odds are in our favor. The rewards certainly outweigh the risks in my opinion. Just caught this: is there something in your role that seems to indicate that alignments are different from game alignments? I for one have no reason to suspect so. | ||

I think his post in support of syllo made it look like he decided to vote for syllo and then look for a reason to justify it, rather than the other way around. While I agree that iamperfection is a terrible choice and probably scum, your being annoyed is not a scumtell. marv: I found this reply quite lackluster. You don't want to run for leader because you're insecure? Do you value helping out the town or not making yourself look bad more? You refer to players you hold in extreme regard, which clearly can only point to myself, yet you have been against my election from the start. Additionally, how does this being a themed game impact your ability to identify townies? This seems like quite a cop out. Healthy mistrust of Marv is okay. I am starting to like how he's playing, but as you said, there are some things wrong with what he has done. I am not leaning scum. I think a scum Marv would absolutely want to run. However, 3rd party is completely possible. risk.nuke Besides the fact that he is probably scum, this jerk taunted me by pretending to be interested in hosting a newbie game and then proceeded to ignore my pms. What a scumbag move. A joke, and a "he's scum", without an explanation. Mind expanding this read. I am so far not getting scumvibes on risk. strongandbig His opinions have been pretty vanilla thus far. I don't think his contributions have earned him a spot yet. Cautiously null. Why single out SnB of all the players you are probably cautiously null on. This just seems weird, and weird things from someone who is otherwise making a lot of sense make me suspicious. kushm4sta I'm always weary of an erratic player that is behaving himself. True, and at the time I agreed. His wacko suicide claim makes me lean town, though. Also, I am inclined to believe he is sick, which is a damned good excuse for not playing his normal post-alot self. If you notice, the few posts he made are still rather erratic, they're just not as omnipresent. So all in all, this list is pretty damned weaksauce, which makes me wonder why it is here in the first place. At first my eye slipped over it and I thought, "hah, Kita is posting some good content", but on a doubletake it really is not good content at all. | ||

However, I fail to see how blindly trusting you to prick through all scum ploys is a step up from that: if you're town and confident in your town reads, you can gain more votes by posting your party.

I would also gain more reads by pretending to be completely confident in my reads; I'm not. I have not finalized my team yet (right now I've 2 whom I'm likely to take and a few possibilities for the third) and may not finalize it until the end. An honest assessment as to why I'm not going to is a combination of considering it optimal play (if I get the votes), being lazy and because sometimes my town reads rely on things other players may find flimsy or the reasons are otherwise difficult to explain (tone, whether the person feels earnest). If I were mafia, there would be absolutely no reason not to make the list of people I intend to pick public. That is a very fair answer. ##unvote | ||

All I can think of is that this is some elaborate plot so later you can jump out and say "hah, I caught scum!" However, all I am getting from this is Toad acting in a completely untoady manner, which makes me LESS inclined to believe any conclusions you think you could draw from this later. Bad play is bad play, regardless of whether you played badly on purpose. | ||

I've come up with this aggregate system that isn't based around calling people towny or scum, but rather personal interactions. Using my extraordinary abilities to decipher what people mean rather than what they say, I've drawn out what I think is turning out to be a very interesting relationship map, and here it is: ![[image loading]](http://i45.tinypic.com/22mao4.jpg) The wiggly lines show hate/distrust, while the straight lines show some sort of companionship. There are a few other types of lines in there that represent different things, but I don't really feel like going into depth about every little mark. From this, I am able to extrapolate what I see into a larger picture. The only things that really set off flags for me are these: - Djodref and Goodkarma coming up as strong scumreads. - Kitaman drawing a lot of attention for little reason. - CaveJohnson coming up as scummy. - Iamperfection being indicated in secret relationships with SnB and CaveJohnson. I've also spotted some sort of mysterious link between Promethelax/Kushm4sta, Promethelax/Kitaman, and Risk.Nuke/Promethelax. I find it hard to think townies would be forming these sort of clandestine connections this early in the game, though it does not necessarily make them scum. There is always the possibility of a third party out there. Right now, I havn't really made any clear towny reads using this map other than Syllo. Sandroba was clear town for me until Syllo raised some suspicion with his >50% remark. Another flag is the sudden surge of support for Kitaman27 from people who I've dubbed as suspicious. What's also interesting is who is not on the map. BioSC caught a bit of negative attention from Iamperfection early on, then sort of disappeared. Not sure what this means. Alright that's all I have for now. Looking through all my info, it's pretty clear that I'm not going to be first leader, and that's fine with me. I just hope I get in the party and survive the night. +1. Made me laugh. Would read again. Why do you have the Scum? by my name, yet I don't appear in your scumreads based on this? | ||

It's like wanting to no-lynch on D1 in a normal game because there's a supposed "low chance of hitting scum." You lynch D1 anyway because of the amount of information we gain from the votecounts. Syllo is proposing an "optimal" strategy that completely neuters the amount of information we'll gain from the voting. This is fucking retarded. We still know the party, we just don't know his reason for picking them. If you mean that we are voting for 1 person, rather than 4, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Less easily manipulated by scum (assuming the chooser isn't actually scum himself), but gives less of a basis to vote on. Do you think Syllo is not town? | ||

He hasn't provided reads, and his only major contribution has been his "trust me I'll do everything" campaign. The only person who I've seen give something resembling a "read" on Syllo is Sandrob, who discussed in vague terms how he thought Syllo was town based on skype convos or something. That's an absurd reason to trust someone at this point in the game. Honestly, I'd insta-lynch someone for doing what Syllo's doing in any other game, but the circumstances in this set-up are quite unique and make me lean more null to him. I don't think you're doing his filter justice with this post. He has given a rather important scumread. Whether it's right or not I am having a hard time determining, but the fact that Sandro isn't in here telling Syllo he's bad/stupid/scum for not recognizing him as town is almost MORE telling than the read in itself. I haven't seen Sandro allow people to call him scum as town without a fight. Now Sandro would not be my first choice for a lynch, and I would generally be opposed to a D1 lynch based on this little information, but I am not getting the town vibes that Sandro usually throws off in spades, which, combined with Syllo's read is quite telling. I am not the only one in the thread feeling that way. Granted, Syllo could be scum and very manipulative, managing to get us all to switch off Sandro, but that would be a completely new meta for him. The only scumgame I played with him, he disappeared from the thread and called everybody stupid. Town was onto him pretty early. He has not played like that at all this game. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Obviously he'll say he had a townread on all three, but he might explain WHY differently. If you think Syllo is scum, why are you voting for him? Also, this would be a fucking ballzy move from a scum Syllo to pull. Between that and calling Sandro scum on D1? Fuck me. And yes, I have a town read on Syllo. While I don't much like the secrecy, I understand his reasons and feel he has enough experience to pull town through on this first day. If he doesn't, well, then we will definitely discuss that tomorrow. | ||

I am seriously considering switching to hapa but I need him to answer my question about GK. How do you not see the reasoning? I was asking marv about syllo's idea, not syllo. The problem with this reasoning is that if syllo is scum, he already KNOWS how this mission is going to turn out: it will be a failure. The WHY he picked the players is not going to change. Plus, if this mission fails, as Marv said, the first person I suspect for scum is Syllo himself. | ||

So, given that, I think I will follow SnB's advice and just ignore him. Which leaves Sandro. I am not sure I like the bandwagon that is already forming on him, but I can't ignore the fact that he is acting like his scum self, and not his town self. I will also be looking into the other competition for the party leadership more closely. Particularly Hapa: I was null on him, but the whole lastminute campaigning really made me wary. Will read his filter more closely tomorrow. | ||

I have never ever figured out BillMurray in my life in a game of mafia with confidence and I played some games with him. Does that answer your question? Yes I'd agree the comparison you did isn't complete bullshit, hence my astonishment because I'd neither label any of those 2 transparent. Never ever. BM takes some figuring out, but I am fairly certain I can read him accurately now. This is like a completely transparent version of the same. I mean.. the notepad? That was just so... I dunno. I just cannot see a scum doing that ever in a million years. Add to that the clueless campaign and the nameclaim and I was pretty certain he was town. | ||

The aggression at Keirathi felt forced, but that is about it. He seems open and completely willing to share his thoughts at all times. Also, his reason for running against Syllo follows in a clean, coherent line from his earlier posts. I haven't read a scum game by him, and by reputation I know he can be crafty, however I see no reason to think that that is actually the case at the moment. Next up: GoodKarma. | ||

Sandroba seems to be adopting a solid strategy at present. I wholeheartedly agree with going with the most townie individuals, even if they are inexperienced. We don't know how the minigames are going to work yet, but we do know with 100% certainty that scum will count against their success. In a game where we don't lynch, all we can do is establish who is actually town. It is absolutely ridiculous to nominate people who have both strong scum and town games and are hard to read day one (thinking of Marv). I also completely agree with the suggestion that's been brought up that parties be suggested by those who are hoping to be nominated up-front. This is especially important if we are to nominate a townie who isn't as experienced. Goodkarma for President: As your leader, I will do my best to further the policy of choosing the most obvious townies as detailed above. Along those lines, I would elect to choose both sandroba and promethelax for my party. The third is still tentative, as the game has only been going for a short time. Before I actually get going properly on GK's filter there is a question that is still bugging me. GK: why did you want to run for party leader? | ||

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!) 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. | ||

I do feel TheChronicler is not a total noob from his general knowledge and some random comments he made. Which makes me even MORE curious as to why he is smurfing. He's either someone extremely experienced who is faking a bad plan just to fuck with us, or is someone who is not actually that experienced at all and truly thought the suggestion was good. The former seems very unlikely. The latter I don't know who might feel the need to get away from their meta. In closing, I find TheChronicler more confusing than anything else right now. I agree with Marv that the way the plan was presented and then backed down from felt townie at the time. However, I am back to null after thinking about it a bit more. | ||

Another thing to keep in mind is that from a game-setup point of view it is very very risky to put people like Sandro+Syllo on opposite alignments. Not quite as bad as Coag+Jackal (and the only game I've played with both of them DrH stuck both of them on the scumteam), but not something you can do without making a very serious consideration, as they are well-known for having each other's number. I don't want to let this weigh too heavily, because meta-speculation about the host is really dodgy ground, but I felt it was worth mentioning. Syllo+Sand: do you have a recent (last half a year or so) game where you were opposite alignments? 3rd party doesn't count. | ||

I'm also disturbed on how syllo is reluctant to give a read on him. I've asked him twice at this time, and he still doesn't take a solid position. There are two newbies using the logic "syllo won the event ergo sand is scum" and that's going unopposed. I don't get why he's not taking a position against sand. I second that a game in which syllo and sand played together as opposite alignments would be quite instructive. That way we can tell just how accurate these vet reads being made are and I'll be more comfortable regarding people's reads. For the record I'm opposed to a sand lynch at this time, until more people comment on the cases on him, at least. Right now there are much better lynches, more into that in a bit. Only remotely normal game I remember Sandroba being scum is Liar mafia. His meta was blatantly obvious there, because he just plain didn't care about the game. That is not the impression I am getting from him. I have played with town Sandroba a couple of times now, and am getting a similar feeling. The main difference is that he has gone awol for long stretches of time. I don't like that at all, but admit real world stuff does come up and interfere with playing sometimes. I am uncomfortable lynching Sandroba with the ONLY thing I can hold against him is that he was afk when it counted. Adam states Sandroba is playing like he "don't-give-a-shit", which I disagree with. @Adam: please explain yourself a bit better. What makes you have this read? Toad doesn't have a meta read on Sandro at all. He has a "Syllo is town, therefore Sandro must be scum" read based on the party leader elections, which is pants-on-head retarded. | ||

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: On November 22 2012 03:42 TheChronicler wrote: I'm going to place my vote on syllo.

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 | ||

He was way to "friendly" when talking to syllo imo which again is a reason I liked syllos conversation with him. Town Sandro usually isn't open at all and tries to net people, by being sneaking and laying traps, so I didn't like what he was showing on d1. Problem about meta reads is you can't explain them because as someone else stated I don't think reading an old game is anything like playing it. You've got to be in the game yourself you're referring to imo. I'm saying "had" because what sandro said today, especially him being pissed makes me rethink things a bit... but I'd still say he's mafia considering that I'm not and syllo's probably not either. Yeah I'd say mafia had their eggs in the basked. Why are you discarding Kita and GK in that case? | ||

I'm an unknown (hopefully) and no one will make stupid bullshit meta reads on the leader that would probably be worse than a coin flip. That's pretty much the only reason I want to lead. I don't even want to pick who will be the three on my team, which takes me to the next part of my pitch, and something I hope whoever is leader uses. If I'm leader I don't want to choose the three people with me. I want to choose three people to choose three people who will be on the team. They can choose themselves if they'd like. Why do this? Because it gets us more information. If I'm not chosen leader I'd like the person who IS chosen to implement this system. We still get information from who the leader chooses, AND we get information based upon who the three chosen people choose. Summary: leader dishes out TOWN reads and then each town read dishes out town reads.

Them not gathering momentum doesn't seem to be a good criteria at all. Sandroba and Syllogism will always gather votes simply by being who they are. | ||

One thing I am not liking about this whole ordeal is that you are winging a lot about it, rather than hunt scum. Someone pointed out that this should put a burr under your ass to scumhunt fast and get a clear lynch candidate. Now imho we have a clear lynch candidate, but you have posted 0 reads today. It is making me very uneasy, but I don't see a scum motivation for being apathetic in this situation either. You woke up, said you'd catch up and since then your contribution has been a QQ that Syllo is not posting scumreads. Post your own scumreads ffs. | ||

I don't think it's particularly working though and kita can't wait (whether he is town remains to be seen, but I don't think it's worth the gamble). I'm fairly certain that sandroba is mafia. He hasn't done anything useful whole game long and he definitely could have. Everything that I've said about him before is still applicable. Even if he has been busy, it was by choice. No one forced him to run for election and he could have at any time dropped out and supported me. If he was town, I think he would have as soon as he figured out that I'm town. Moreover, his attitude when he came back is still wrong. Instead of attempting to convince me or even address me, he just addresses everyone generally. He claims that I have been paranoid about his alignment in merc mini and that 80+ player game, but that is false or an exaggeration. In the huge game I was, in fact, pushing him for mayor on day 1 (we were both town). In merc mini I was only slightly suspicious because his ability completely broke the game, but I never wanted to lynch him at any point; the only suspicions were voiced over PM. If he was town, he would be attempting to convince me, not play down my ability to read him accurately. To those who believe sandroba is town, what do you think mafia did on day 1? Who is mafia? Did they really have no one who could have ran and won? Do you think it's kita or acro were the mafia candidates then? Why do you randomly include me in that list? Anyway, I just haven't gotten around to Kita yet, because I got sidetracked by TheChronicler. What is your opinion of him? | ||

No. Your defense has been erratic, because you are not being logical. You are basically reacting in exactly the opposite way I would expect you to react. I point out a very clear contradiction and you say "there is no contradiction". It's not scummy, it's not townie, it's erratic. If I believe you are honest in not seeing how your behaviour clearly flipflops between two completely different viewpoints, then a lot of the reasons I think you're scum drops away. And THAT is what I am trying to assess by allowing you a chance to give me some meta-information. Anybody have a clue who this guy is? In addressing you directly, not that I believe there is much point, I will explain the two contradictions in my own words, rather than through your quotes. Contradiction 1: - Your plan calls for town reads, the more the merrier. - You tell people you don't want them to share town reads. Reasons for town to do this: their brain is switched off. Reasons for scum to do this: present a plan! It's the townie thing to do. Stop people from sharing town reads! It's an easy way to look like you're contributing without contributing. Easymode scumcruise under the radar. Whoops, I forgot about my plan. Contradiction 2: - Dudes, I have an awesome plan - Okay guys, I am going to vote for Syllo, because he is doing the OPPOSITE of what I wanted, and what I wanted was bad. - Dudes, my plan was always awesome! Reasons for town to do this: their brain is switched off. Reasons for scum to do this: not well thought-out post-hoc rationalization of an easy sheep vote to blend in. Yes, your vote was a sheep. Say all you like that you were an early adopter, but I absolutely disagree: you came in after Marv and his sheeples were already on there. That vote flew COMPLETELY under the radar, thus the very definition of blending. | ||

Syllo: is it normal for Sandro to work during the day and play in the evenings/night? Or does he, like me, spend the entire day at work procrastinating by F5ing the thread and poring over filters? If the latter, his absence is indeed weird. | ||

He can disappear for long periods of time even as town, but the case against him isn't that he disappeared even though a lot of people are attempting to portray it as such. Okay.

Don't infer that I haven't read the thread because that's untrue. I've been working on several posts the past hour or two. As for my opinion of you, I haven't reread your filter yet. From what I recall, your posts have been logical and reasonable, but that hardly means you must be town. Hardly a joke campaign. Hours into the game I provided my initial thoughts, I have been at work all day, and now I have returned to elaborate on my reads after having some posts to go by. I shouldn't be punished based on my schedule. Why have I been eliminated after not having a chance to share my thoughts? I believe I'm a superior candidate to sandroba and syllo. If you remember correctly, sandroba's platform was simply a rehashed version of my proposal that players be selected by their towniness beyond all other factors. Still working on a post of reads. Kita. Why exactly did you think this? This phrase here seems rather incongruous with all the rest of your campaign. You made some slightly disingenious remarks at Sandro about how the whole town thought they could read him, but asking what it was based on. You made a quip at Syllo's second post. About 20 hours later you come back. We get a joke post with a turkey and vegetarians, and then you say you think you're superior to Sandro and Syllo. Yet you never explain why. Even when asked why.

From a game design perspective, the mafia team has to have certain tools that sabotage our events in order to remain balanced. Without any outside intervention, assume the town comes up with a successful group of players. There appears to be no restriction about selecting the same players, meaning the mafia team has to have some way to combat selecting the same people every time. Even if they can only eliminate a couple of the players through night hits, they are still playing from a disadvantage. I think this is something we should keep in mind going forward. While reading through the filters, I came across this post. What struck me as strange was that Keirathi insists he has a low success modifier. On what basis is he making this assumption? From my point of view, I would have no idea whether 3 was a low value or the highest value in the game. Only if I had the ability to compare my modifier with other players could I come to this conclusion. Finally, the Frog role claim may be the most important event that has taken place this game. There needs to be more discussion about it. I'll post my thoughts later tonight. I either mentioned it earlier, or just wrote it in my notebook, he never incited more discussion about the claim. Now that I look back, I would like an explanation of why Kita thought the Frog claim was so important. Those are my questions for now. @Marv: I have the right to remain silent (for now). | ||

Just wandered over to the Dota 2 wiki and Invoker has: Cold Snap Ghost Walk Ice Wall Tornado Deafening Blast Forge Spirit EMP Alacrity Chaos Meteor Sun Strike. First off: I don't see any "Betrayal" and a wiki search doesn't give me anything either. The other abilities claimed are Lightning Shield (not an Invoker ability), Firestorm (ditto), Chaos Meteor. What Chaos Meteor does in Dota 2 is drops a meteor from the sky which does damage and then rolls around a little bit doing more damage if you're dumb enough to stick around. I fail to see how this can be implemented in this game, other than as a simple nuke. So, how about you claim what your abilities do, instead of your Dota 2 analogies, which may make sense to you, but don't to anybody else. | ||

I am glad your thought process is finally becoming clear and I am starting to see why you think there is no contradiction there. Let me go through it with you and see if I understand you this time round. If any point is wrong, please correct it, or if the whole thing is wrong, please say so. We will get to questions and considerations afterwards. 1. You have no confidence in your own D1 scum or town reads. 2a. You extrapolate from that that nobody else can be right in their D1 reads either. 2b. Or you have seen so many D1 mislynches that you conclude town sucks at picking scum and therefore also sucks at picking town. 3. Therefore the best town can do when facing the problem of picking not one, but four town reads on D1 is to choose pretty much at random and pray that we're right. 4. Your plan would probably fail the event (but that is unimportant, because we would probably fail the event anyway, see point 3), but would give us insight into who picked whom and based on what reasoning. We could then use this to scumhunt in the rest of the game. Further considerations are that you would pick your scumreads to give their preferred party member and not town reads. Is this assessment correct? Please also indicate whether you feel 2a or 2b is most accurate, or both are considerations you had in mind? | ||

He claims roleblocked. So obviously his ability didn't go through. I'm more interested in "Shadow". People with shadow magic in the game are Robo, Magus and lots of bad guys. Robo is unlikely to have an ability called Shadow. Magus doesn't seem like town, could be 3P. The rest are all likely scum or 3P. However, Sandro seems well versed in Chrono Trigger lore and would know this if he was actually scum... and would refrain from mentioning this. A conundrum. @Syllo, Hopefully the canine will be fine. :D I share this wish. | ||

Probably you only have to convince syllo, but this influential punter wants to know why you're not pushing your reads either? Is not pushing reads a scumtell? Especially if so blatantly obvious about it? Regarding Prome's interactions with me: I'm ok backing up Prome on this aspect of his play. As the target I didn't feel anything unnatural about it. I tend to have quite specific and different interactions with people. I saw iamp mentioned, and I agree with keir/hapa. Was a townread early but waning. Regarding my own play - I seem more interested on a lynch day than some party leader n stuff day? Go figure if that makes sense from what you know about me as a mafia (the game) player. Today I need to research kita quite a bit to see if I'm being unfair with the standards I'm holding him to. I can't really get over right now how he said he supported a sandroba lynch (as if he always had) but had never mentioned it before and has never mentioned it again. syllogism's assertion that kita goes after easy targets hasn't helped. I agree. Today, I want to figure out Kita, GK and Prom. I also feel that I am starting to figure out Chronicler, which will allow me to go over his filter again and see if it makes sense as town. On TheChronicler - just totally uninterested. I still don't really think he's scum and it's all a bit tedious. From the way the game has progressed I get the impression that sandroba and kitaman aren't both town. And there are reasons for both to be scum. Now to find out which is the best lynch. I am more cautious. I honestly feel that Toad could also have been the scum in the running. I haven't analyzed his play yet, but Sandro is giving answers that feel right. As stated before, his absense of caring can be explained by him simply going afk at the wrong time. His failure to give constructed reads seems fairly in line with what I know about him in the thread. Syllo seems to be trying to read Sandro as if they are skyping each other, which is simply not the case here. I feel Sandro is not playing any different from the town games I have seen him in, except for a noted drop off in activity. I also think his claim of using "shadow" is indicative of a townie use, but he might be bamboozling us. I realized before he replied that his self-pity could be explained as a townie who is quite unused to getting mislynched feeling himself powerless to convince people (or Syllo) that he's town. Additionally I am a bit suspicious of the way the Sandro wagon formed. It is basically one giant sheep of Syllo, which is way too easy for scum to just hop on with no-to-little reasoning. While I realize this would happen regardless of Sandro's alignment (based only off what Syllo thinks), it doesn't mean I like it. | ||

How about Kita? Toad? Why single Sandroba out of the veterans who are not currently pushing their scum reads? | ||

You don't feel sandro is not playing any different? How about the fact he has done or said nothing useful at all whole game long. Not a single read; just throwing a name out there with no reasoning is not a read. Failure to construct reads is fairly in line with what? Is the sandro you know completely useless? The little time he has devoted to the game has centered around him defending himself rather than doing something actually useful. Despite the amount of seeming effort you are putting into the game, your defense of Sandro is starting to feel quite suspicious. You were IN GoT mafia with him. Sure, I was scum that game, but my criticism against you was truthful. You were throwing names out there and seeing what came back. While I expect you would've figured Chaoser out, and it was too much of a risk to let you live, your D1 was atrocious. HRM you only got going quite late on D2 and it was mostly you pulling that wagon. Sandro keeping his reads close and scumhunting based on reading the thread and throwing a name out from time to time is not contrary to his town play at all. My impression of his scumhunting has always been that he gauges the mindset behind reactions in the game... and if other people are doing plenty to cause people to react, then he doesn't have to do much himself. Am I certain he's town? No. I just don't like the way this witch hunt is going. Also, your association case is pathetic. | ||

If scum is able to take 3 townies along and still fail the mission, then his party selection is neither here nor there. The more I think about it, the harder it seems for a scum party leader to play the party leader role correctly. If Sandro is scum and takes 3 incredibly townie people along, yet fails the mission, he is scum through a process of elimination. If Sandro is scum and takes a shady character along, he is scum for bringing his scumbuddy along, because town Sandro should know better. Either way, having someone known for his accurate reads lead a failed party is a recipe for disaster for scum (assuming town has ways of killing scum). | ||

I have not gotten the feeling ever that you have made up your mind yet. That's okay, I haven't made up my mind yet either. But calling Sandroba out for not having made up his mind and pushing his read is hypocritical. I do find his lack of thread presence disconcerting. In all games I have played with him, his thread presence (or PM presence in SSM) has been commanding. However, RL issues are a good reason for lack of thread presence. | ||

Like the fact that today is a "lynch event day" is a reward for us to have succeed in the last event. I would have expected a different event (mafia favored event) if we had failed. But that's just speculation. I think that one scum on the party doesn't automatically cause the failure of the event. There are hidden factors after all. Frog (aka Dieno) being on the event could have allowed one mafia player to come along imo. I agree with your first point. It is quite likely that if the event had failed, we would not have gotten the lynch day. However, I see no reason why scum would know how this game works any more than we did. I also assume that town has a fair amount of KP to allow for some town-controlled flips. I therefore think my logic makes a lot of sense. The second part is speculation. Plausible speculation (I came up with it after all), but still speculation. We have no clue how the hidden influence works, and the game HAS to be balanced somehow to allow scum to win events. Assuming a 3-1 ratio fails an event seems okay for now. Especially as scum presumably also does not know how the influence works and thus they cannot gamble on Sandro bringing along Frog (pretty much confirmed town imho) and gambling that the event succeeds due to his high influence factor, because they simply don't know. | ||

The difference is that Sandro could very well be lynched while marv basically cant be lynched this cycle. Marv can do his pushing and prodding a lot more subtly while Sandro has to get himself out of a lynch Agreed. For some of you that point has been reached. I am seeing some logical inconsistencies with him being scum. They tell me to give him more time and look for people I am more convinced are scum. If, of course, he doesn't shape up, then we can kill him later. My having that read on him, makes me naturally suspicious of how this wagon is forming in the first place. It is one giant sheep. The only two people who have tried to give their own justification are Clarity, whose case is pathetic, and Adam. The rest are riddled with inconsistencies and lack of reasoning: Risk.nuke: I know he's been called out for it already, but his explanation is terrible.

Not going to bother with this right now, because regardless of where he had voted this would feel like a cop-out. Clarity to me, at the moment, feels more like town making a bad case than scum making up a bullshit case to jump on the syllo sheep.

The main purpose why mechanics are hidden is so that we don't confirm 4 townies any time a mission succeeds. Also reading sandro's filter it doesn't even look like he announced what his final team would be. At one point he said oats, kush and dienosore, but if he is mafia he probably knew that kush was going to die. In addition, when he named that team, I don't think he thought he was going to win. Moreover, he was locked down to dienosore+oats very early on, before dienosore claimed. If I understand that correctly, then you are making the assumption that scum could use the fact that Frog is in the party reliably to get "confirmed" status by allowing the event to succeed. That seems like info scum could not possibly have. As for the second part of your post: what is your point? Sandro would pull a quick party switch and take someone incredibly scummy along? I think everybody who read Kush's post properly assumed he would die, what does being mafia have to do with it? I am confused why you are harping on the party composition. | ||

However, his D2 behaviour is really bugging me. He was adamant about townhunting D1, yet did not really do much of it. His reason for not wanting to scumhunt is that there was no lynch.

Not saying Drazerk should never be lynched, but I fail to see how his claim makes him a priority for lynching now. The candidacy is only damning because I agree there should have been some scum in there. Other than that I am unsurprised about Kita running. His stance on Sandroba seems sensible, and he voiced many of the suspicions I have of risk.nuke. | ||

I'm sympathetic to the fact that real life events can sometimes get in the way, but if they do, I try to make it clear to the thread and use any free time to make up for it. From my experience, not having a scum candidate is a sub-par strategy. I'm not completely sold on syllo's innocence yet. It is quite possible that toad's presence in the party would override any mafia presence, although I liked his party selection and the success of the first event gives me no reason to go after syllo at the moment. sandroba's party selection was solid, even though we don't know if it would have mattered with his presence. What puzzles me the most is that sandroba claims to have taken a hit of 125 damage. If its town damage, it should be claimed. From a mafia perspective, I'd want to take out Frog in one hit to not have to worry about a cleared pro-town presence on day two, in addition to an additional round of night actions, and possible healing effects. Spreading out the damage seems suboptimal. Based on the flip, it seems the mafia would know that 400ish damage wouldn't be enough to take him out. Why would they hit sandroba, someone who has fallen out of favor in town's eyes, over syllo? Perhaps they were banking on a failed event one, but even so, I'd hit syllo over sandro if I'm not going to stack everything on a single player. I'll have to come back to this as there are a few other players I'd like to look at first before making a final decision. To me this reads "I am on the fence". Given that I feel quite similar, except that I lean towards not lynching rather than lynching, that resonates. However upon rereading, I really don't like how he hammers on casting doubt on Syllo. Being cautious is all very well, but why bring it up repeatedly? Both Syllo's filter and his successful party give me no reason to doubt him. Repeatedly voicing suspicions serves no town purpose that I see. However, upon rereading this a few times I can see how you see this as completely void of any content. I am probably getting tired. I'll leave off reading Prom for now and go eat, do some other stuff before coming back and trying to figure out Prom and Toad. | ||

Someone pointed out earlier that there are cases like crazy claims that almost have to be town, so there is that, but picking someone like Keir to be on the team seems absurd to me. Why not pick someone like Marv (who didn't even run iirc)? I think 4 is worded unfairly, but yes. Okay, moving on. I cannot fathom why you voted Syllo. Please explain it again. From my point of view: you think chance of success at the event is very small. You don't think Syllo can actually read townies, so it's like flipping a coin whether we succeed or not. All you hope to obtain from the event is information and Syllo offers you the least of it. Why vote Syllo, with as reason that CJ is opposed to Syllo. Rather than Hapa, Kita, Toad or Sandroba, who were all giving information about why they were picking their team, which insofar as I understand you, equates to more information. | ||

You keep contradicting yourself. I don't know what to make of it. I see it as scum, but apparently I am the only one (or one of the few). Trying to figure out how your brain works is about as useful as trying to figure out Kush. The only way to make sense of you is through meta and you are deliberately withholding that. I am done talking to you. Marv, Syllo, Toad, Kita, Sand: you guys really don't get scum vibes from this guy? He has not held his story straight once. Now I know inconsistency is not a scum trait, but it makes it impossible to determine the motivation behind the actions, and the only reason I can think of wanting to do that is for scum. | ||

I think I picked something like 5 townies straight without a problem at all, including people like WBG who are notoriously hard to read according to most people here. The only mistake I made was when I gambled in lategame as we had 2 Kenpachi-like people (real Kenpachi and someone like Kenpachi) who didn't play the game while not being able to get a read on Marv as well. I picked Marv because I figured that if neither of those 2 Kenpachis is mafia we've lost anyways because one of them will get lynched at some point and it already was lylo. So yeah I think I'm pretty decent when it comes to that as well. I agree I'm by no way the best scumhunter around and I'm mostly working by process of elimination but that's because I trust in my townreads so heavily and they're never wrong. So yeah I think I'm the right guy for the job.

You excuse yourself in LV for inviting me into your mason chat as either "you were trolling" or there were 2 kenpachi-like people left to invite. This is simple false. You invited me BEFORE confirmed town EchelonTee, because I appeared so town to you, and BEFORE extremely townie newbie austinmcc. You invited me because your read on me was wrong and you thought it was the useful thing to do. Given I replaced in night 1 LV, and pushed a scum straight away who got modkilled, I was viewed as town from very early and that remained the case throughout the game. So saying "I wasn't so much involved early on" is once again a flat out lie. Just to dig the boot in, mafia (me/wiggles) left you alive that game, despite you were confirmed town, for many many cycles because you were so completely and utterly useless. Stop referring to games where you've managed to talk yourself into having a really rosy view of the outcome when in reality your read on me was 100% wrong and you got completely outplayed, and left alive by scum for being an irrelevance. And stop lying about it now. I giggled. If you misrepresented your ability to read people, I am confused why you wanted to be party leader. | ||

Syllo and Sandro both tend to be pretty lazy threadwise and I don't think that that's something we want for someone who's running for the d1 spot. I got a bit sidetracked by Marv contesting Toad's play, but we're back on it. Toad can come up with no reason why he should run for party leader, so invents that "he will be active and get people to talk". I ask you, what does that have to do with being the party leader? About as much as Syllo being vegetarian, that's what. So why does Toad want to be the party leader? Why? Because he's scum, of course. Toad jumps into the thread with a big splash. Big talk about how he's going to scumhunt and a blurb on how Keirathi is scum for pretty much no reason at all. Now, lets look for the actual scumhunting: . . . Yeah, that was it.

The bad thing about lynching Drazerk is that anyone and their mom can hop on that lynch and say "herpa derp it's Drazerk, let's lynch him beacuse he's anti-town" and after the lynch we're in complete chaos because he either flipped red and everyone's pissed at those who thought he shouldn't be lynched because he's always like that or he's going to flip his chef / invoker thingie and people we don't get anything out of it because he was doing bullshit after all.

But than again who knows what arrow belongs to what person Summary: null on Marv, troll on Drazerk and no clue what he thinks about Chronicler. Still nothing on why Sandro is scum, other than that he had a vague town meta read on him until Syllo shut that down. The sum total of Toad's contributions to this thread have been zip diddly squat, but he is here and posting. Quite a lot in fact. This is NOT the Toad I know as either town or scum, but I can't see any town motivation for playing this way. There are some other small things in his filter, but the promise that he will spend the game scumhunting and then the absolute lack of it, despite 5 pages of filter, is, once again in Toad's own words: Scum are trying to look like they're doing something without actually doing something all the time.

I'll have to re-read your filter but it doesn't quite add up to me why toad would so much more definitely be scum than sandroba on that basis. Sandro upped and left. He is not here (or faking not being here). Sure, that is damning, because it's sandroba, but on exactly the same basis we could be lynching SnB, hopeless1der, Promethelax, VE, Adam or iamperfection. Yes, we hold Sandroba to a higher standard... and Syllo has a meta-based scumread on him. However, I am not comfortable sheeping Syllo. If he's wrong, we're screwed and have absolutely nothing useful. Toad, on the other hand has been here. He has been posting, quite actively at times. Yet, he has DONE jack shit. That is far more damning than going afk imho. | ||

He was way to "friendly" when talking to syllo imo which again is a reason I liked syllos conversation with him. Town Sandro usually isn't open at all and tries to net people, by being sneaking and laying traps, so I didn't like what he was showing on d1. Problem about meta reads is you can't explain them because as someone else stated I don't think reading an old game is anything like playing it. You've got to be in the game yourself you're referring to imo. I'm saying "had" because what sandro said today, especially him being pissed makes me rethink things a bit... but I'd still say he's mafia considering that I'm not and syllo's probably not either. Yeah I'd say mafia had their eggs in the basked. This, and the fact that he thinks there is a scum in Syllo+Sandro, are the only reasons he gives for wanting to lynch Sandro. If Sandro flips town, it is impossible to peg Toad to this lynch. | ||

Toad's vote for Kita without reasoning was on purpose (and that's what that exchange with Marv and me was about). For whatever strange reason. I guess that could be construed as an attempt at trapping someone, and thus as scumhunting, but I am unsure that was actually what he was trying to achieve. Maybe Marv got something else from that exchange. | ||

With as little as Sandro has tried to establish himself as town this game, if he is scum I would fully expect his team would bus him, especially with Syllo on his lynch bandwagon. I'm not telling you to sheep me, although I guess I would be honored. I am asking you to read my case, read Toad's filter and make up your own mind. I have voiced my opinion. I will try to sway the general public with lots of armwaving and explaining why Toad is scum, but in the end it's YOU who has to make up your mind. So. Why do YOU think Sandro is scum. Fairly certain you're one of those people who is sheeping Syllo for no apparent reason other than Syllo says, so it must be so. | ||

He has gone into hardcore lurker mode, which normally is something I wouldn't consider a tell. However, as a player of his reputation that plays so well as town to disappear as he has, I deem voting to lynch him appropriate. I would like to hear what he has to say to explain his current complete lack of caring since very early this game. And until he does: ##Vote: Sandroba | ||

I am inclined to believe Sandro when he says RL got in the way. However, RL is not town or scum. His subsequent behaviour has not made sense. But Toad is scummier. | ||

I was pretty shocked about the damage which Syllo claimed (I thought I would block it all and that mafia would have individual abilities and NOT factional kp but this is false, mafia has kp!) and I assumed that it was Mafia KP (another reason which I didn't state earlier that i thought he was Town in the 'one of Sand/Syllo is scum' argument). I looked at my pm again in writing this to confirm my abilities, it only roleblocks players so I imagine that factional kp is not blocked. What is so hard to understand? Syllo got BUSSED. All the abilities that targeted him, targeted someone else instead and everything that targeted that someone else targeted Syllo. Scum shoots flying-under-the-radar-town. Sandro busses all damage from that townie onto Syllo and all the protection (just Marv) on Syllo onto the flying-under-the-radar-town. | ||

My info helps nail Toad, you agree? If it helps nail Toad and he flips scum, which I 100% think it does, then you can make the claim that my roleclaim is not alignment indicative as I might have been bussing. Go ahead and do that, but how the flying fuck does this suddenly make it a 2 for 1 trade for town? If Toad flips and he's town, then it's a 2 for 1 trade in favour of town. So.. yeah, that would make me the greatest derp in the history of herpaderps. In closing: you're an idiot. | ||

Also, I'm caught up on the thread. You will notice that I did not answer certain questions. That is deliberate. I gave the information I felt was necessary to succeed in this party. I also gave the information to ensure Toad shut the fuck up (mission accomplished) and is lynched as the scummy scum he is the very next chance we get. Any more information will have to wait until I think it will help us. If that means Marv, Keirathi and Prom are going to yammer at me for the next 72 hours or so, then tough titties. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Prom's action claim] + On November 25 2012 09:32 Promethelax wrote: okay, it seems that my role is pretty contentious for Kita and Kier (and probably everyone else who has a name that stars with K) the ability I used last night Roleblocks all players who target a single player with their actions. I took a gamble and assumed that I was the only one with a roleblocking ability because only two people claimed RB'd and I assumed that they both targeted Syllo. I did not want to reveal why I knew that those players targeted Syllo or the correlation with the roleblocks (this is why I haven't yet confronted marv about his targeting Syllo but now that the cat is out of the bag: Marv, what were you trying to do to the Great Leader?). I decided to gamble that i was right and that Sand had targeted Syllo (50% chance at least just from there being only two RB claims) and force him to claim what he had done. My bread crumb should be obvious to anyone looking but here it is: this is why I said that I was sending in my night actions there, to be clear that this is where I specified them. I'm saying that I am using my power to protect Syllo and that it will [role]block people who target him. It isn't a brilliant crumb but I think the awkward wording speaks for itself, this is a crumb. I have other powers but this is the one you need to know about. If I place this on a plyer and they are not targeted for a certain number of cycles than it will provide a certain amount of protection against damage from any in game source. That being said I would like to return to game things: I have not played with him but the games I have read of his would suggest that this is totally true. Marv is right here. Hapa: you ignored everything I said in response. I think you know better that my actions follow the way I think about the game which, as should be obvious, is not always the dominant way of thinking. Since you haven't responded to me I don't have more to add except that you are a top scum read for me now. I've never seen you, as town, push that someone is scum but also refuse to engage with them. You are more hands on. I expect this disengaged sort of attack from Zbo but not from you. hah, gotcha Sand. In post game I'm going to revel in getting that one right. Just in case anyone wasn't sure. Summary: Prom targets a person at night. Anybody visiting that person gets roleblocked. Now, I looked at this and compared it to my own abilities and to Kush's ability and figured that this was a riduculously powerful town ability if it didn't have a downside, so I asked Prom about that: On November 25 2012 21:16 Promethelax wrote: essentially the downsides are only if my reads are bad. There are some restrictions on when I can use my claimed ability. There are other aspects of my role which are, in my opinion, less powerful than the claimed aspect. but can be used when the claimed aspect cannot be used. I read this and figured it jibed at the time. But as I was answering Prom's question about why I asked him about the downsides, I realized that it actually makes the ability even stronger: it is a protection ability that combines with a 1-shot watcher (no way scum is going to claim roleblocked from now on) AND a DT check? So I tested. Isn't this you claiming that if your ability works, you used it on a townie? You used it on Syllo, so how can you be doubtful about him after targeting him with your ability? | ||

Now I thought that was to try to frame him to come up red but it could be to frame him to come up green. Essentially one of the two guys targeted by that frame bus was scum and one was town. That's not what I asked. You claim the downside to your ability is something to do with you having bad reads. That generally means town who use the ability on a scumster, either the ability fails. You seem quite convinced your ability didn't fail, and both Sandroba and Marv claim to have targeted Syllo, so there is some corroborating evidence that your ability succeeded. Do you think Sandroba's bus drive ability (assuming he used that and not the DoT) succeeded? Or was he roleblocked before it could happen? You should have that information somewhere in your role pm, or can probably ask the hosts in what order your actions resolve. At least you should be able to know whether Sandroba would be notified of being roleblocked if he had no actions left that day. | ||

What I meant is that assuming I target a player whom mafia is targeting and who is town my ability is great but if, for instance I target scum player whom town is targeting with a bunch of abilities (like say I have super major town read on you and I protect you but everyone else in town thinks you are scum and is shooting/DTing/whatever'ing you but you are scum I prot you from all that and RB a bunch of townies). My ability functions the same no matter who I target. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't even think about the possibility of a dreamflower-esque ability. I've never been in a game with one. Okay, so your ability has no downsides. That makes it far more powerful than anything I have seen (or seen claimed) so far. I found Kush's ability pretty damned awesome: a PGO + dayvig? Sign me up! But at least it came with conditionals. I am not sure what to think about this claim. However, I am not making sense of it from a scum point of view either. Must've been a pretty stellar guess to know Marv was targeting Syllo. Either that, or scum has some kind of watcher, which doesn't make much sense at all. | ||

Like seriously. DAFUQ? I cannot get my head around how mindblowingly stupid this post is. 1. OPPOSITE alignment. Unless you have reason to believe there are 2 scumteams, that means 1 of us is town, the other scum OR 1 of us is town, the other 3rd party, OR 1 of us is scum and the other 3rd party. It *might* be possible for 2 third parties to be considered "opposite alignment". No clue on the specifics there. So no, there is AT MOST 1 scum between you and me. For the record, that scum is you. 2. You think? Really? I KNOW I'm not scum. I don't have to "think that it may perhaps be slightly more likely that I am not scum", because I fucking know it. This overly cautious phrasing is you claiming scum, because you cannot figure out a town mindset. 3. Yeah, trolololol. Lets fail the event, because Hopeless1derp wants to "prove" he's town. Once again, thinking like a townie? Failed. Miserably I might add. Verdict: scum PS. The failure to think like a townie is what I caught this guy on in Acme, so it even fits his meta. | ||

This reads as scum trying to get on the team to make us fail the event as a last ditch effort. We don't even have a lynch today, and Toad would be the lynch over you regardless. Acro could easily have been bussing Toad after seeing my check. I STILL can't wrap my head around why he would claim in thread. What scum would do something like that, though? If I was bussing Toad, I was doing so way before your check. | ||

From here it's to 1000 AD, then 600 AD, 1000 AD again, then prehistory, quick stop in 1000 AD again, then back to 600 AD (where Dieno might get his sword), prehistory again, and that's only as far as I have gotten into Chrono Trigger so far.Maybe we get lynches in 1000 AD? | ||

However, I really doubt Greymist balanced this game around the main characters roleclaiming, so I doubt he has stuff we cannot live without. | ||

Not getting a scum read from his behavior but I am uncomfortable with him not explaining himself and getting defensive instead. Why hedgehog? It is not an idiom I am familiar with (such as puppy).

If it was a regular game I wouldn't want you to stop but since we don't get that many lynches perhaps it's better to make a single comprehensive case and leave it at that or focus on other things for now and revisit this on a lynch day. We have a lynch target. It's Toad. Given that finding a party is pretty easy, and we have our next lynch cycle lined up as well, what do you propose we talk about? I actually agree with Syllo that everybody giving this game a rest for the next 24 hours or so would be good. I woke up this morning to 4 pages of back and forth arguing between Hapa and Prom, that, in my mind did absolutely nothing productive (it gave me LI flashbacks, which I assure you is NOT a good thing if you're town). Then Syllo started. It was slightly more productive, but even if we have reason to believe Prom is scum, he can't be lynched for an eternity yet, so it's really pointless and all this arguing is leading to confirmation bias from everybody involved. Take a break, I say. | ||

TheChronicler is town and says his truth. Prom is town and says his truth. Acro is 3rd party and Hopeless is town/scum. If Hopeless is town then Z-Bo might be scum. Adam is more likely to be town than scum. I'm very uncomfortable with VE. There is some 3rd party or scum among kita and CJ ? Except the part concerning Prome, would anybody agree or disagree on some points ? Is this your not-so-subtle way of asking me whether I'm third party? I think your Hopeless Zbo conditional is stretching the association a bit. Also Zbo might be scum regardless of Hopeless' flip. I don't see his case as particularly indicative of alignment: Zbo was catching some pressure and making a case is a good way of getting out from pressure. I, and probably many other people, were very suspicious of Hopeless. If Hopeless is scum, then this would be a pretty good opportunity to bus. I don't think anybody can disagree on how you feel about VE. They might feel differently, though. Personally, I agree and feel there's a good chance of him being scum. He keeps saying "sorry I'm not contributing" and jumping out of the thread for the next 24 hours again. Hard to tell, though, it's VE. I see no reason to heap Kita and CJ together. I fail to see a link between them. | ||

Seeing as the cat's pretty much out of the bag, I confirm I'm 3rd party. My wincon is to survive and do some stuff that I am not telling anybody about. I promise that the extra stuff is in town's best interest. Not saying anything more, because I suspect there are other people out there who have to kill me. Otherwise Drazerk's solution to playing a survivor will always work: claim D1 and go AFK (or in this case, claim D1 and help town to figure out how to fulfill the other part of my wincon, THEN go AFK). This is also immediately the reason I don't want to be on a party. I asked Greymist whether my influence counts with town or scum, or whether I could choose. He told me that I cannot choose and that he's not saying what my influence counts as. I have no way of knowing my hidden influence factor. So.. no. There is no contradiction between my not wanting to be on the party and being really surprised at Keirathi's claim. Think about it, though: scum was probably not feeling too comfortable on D3. D1 went town's way, D2 went further town's way. Why would they NOT want to take any opportunity to get on the party? Claiming not wanting to be on the party would be a ridiculously stupid move, unless you think scum is so afraid of being caught out through the party mechanic that they are going to hide all game while town figures them out and kills them one by one on the few lynch days we get? Oh, I can claim some other stuff: I have a load of one-shot abilities, but don't know what they do. Part of my suspicions of Drazerk are founded on this: he claims to be able to figure out what his abilities do before using them. I am unable and have to use them and pray. I can make an educated guess using common sense and some help from the chronopedia to figure out what is likely, but I cannot know for certain. Not giving ability names either, as they are 100% linked to my character name. On D1 I used an ability that I thought would mason me with 3 other people. Instead it did 75 damage to each of them. I hit Sandroba, Dienosore and BioSC with it. I wanted to chat with Sandroba and BioSC to figure out if they were scum or not. I wanted to chat with Dienosore about setup-related stuff that largely got resolved in the thread. I already said what I did D2. D3 I cannot reveal, as it says too much about me. This is the only one I breadcrumbed, though, so if I ever feel safe in claiming my name in full, you will be able to check it. @Hopeless1derp: I have called you an idiot too many times this game, already, but here goes again. On the offchance you are really town (which I really don't think): you're an idiot. OF COURSE you want Lavos to appear when scum is dead. Fairly certain killing Lavos with scum alive is going to be harder than killing him with scum dead. It doesn't look like there's much opportunity to kill scum, so wasting whatever abilities you have to kill scum on me is beyond ridiculous. I also have rather a lot of HP and things that I really really suspect are heals. There is 0 point to killing me and I am helping town as best I can. I have done more scumhunting than pretty much anybody except Marv. I was wrong on Sandroba, so /shrug. However, I DID find Toad. If you prefer I shut up and go afk for the rest of the game, say so. I am happy to leave you derps derping it up. This time I don't give a shit if the endgame has Kushes Fubas and Proms in it: I just need to not get killed once I have completed my other condition, which I am fairly confident I can do without your help. | ||

My identity, however, is something that could very well be used against me. Anyway, my name is pointless. Greymist was happy to supply me with a fakeclaim, so it'll still be up to you to figure out whether I'm telling the truth. I decided not to use the fakeclaim and just tell the truth.

All other information is unconfirmed and there is nothing we can do with it anyway, because we don't have a lynch. One thing I can tell you is that Greymist seems not to expect this game to go past 9 cycles, as I have 9 1-shot spells to use. | ||

You say the cat was out of the bag, but it was all speculation. The cat WAS out of the bag. Speculation or not, there were at least 3 people thinking I was 3P. Scumteam probably already had it figured even earlier. Djodref basically phrased his question oddly, but he did ask me whether I was 3P. Saying no would have made things worse if I ever have to claim in the future, which was looking increasingly likely with the parity check. The parity check alone also weighed in on my decision. Better to claim 3P now and get that evidence off the table against Hopeless1der. I think he's scum. I think he should be killed. But I don't want people killing him because of your check, and I definitely don't want people going after ME if he were to flip town. Claiming 3P afterwards would have looked terrible. "Scum trying to get out of being lynched" would be the first thing that would come to my mind if I were townie having mislynched one side of a parity check. I really want that excuse out of the way. Also, go ahead and check me against Toad if you don't believe me. I would be much obliged. | ||

I have had reservations about him for a while, but he was in the "null" list until he reacted really weirdly to my claim. His reaction seems really weird for town. Honestly, I don't feel like adding more suspects to the table right now. It's getting to the point where it's counterproductive, because there is no way of verifying for a long time, which increases paranoia and speculation.

I have to admit that I have payed little attention to Hapa this game. I was on high alert D1 when he suddenly went nuts and wanted to run for leader at the last moment. I then reread him to see if I wanted to lynch him and decided I didn't. I dismissed him as someone to be figured out later. That later has not yet happened. | ||

You should, however, see that my behaviour towards TC flipped 180 degrees after that claim. During D2 I was pressuring him pretty hard about his inconsistent behaviour. At the end of D2 I concluded this about his behaviour: On November 25 2012 03:37 Acrofales wrote: I give up. You keep contradicting yourself. I don't know what to make of it. I see it as scum, but apparently I am the only one (or one of the few). Trying to figure out how your brain works is about as useful as trying to figure out Kush. The only way to make sense of you is through meta and you are deliberately withholding that. I am done talking to you. Marv, Syllo, Toad, Kita, Sand: you guys really don't get scum vibes from this guy? He has not held his story straight once. Now I know inconsistency is not a scum trait, but it makes it impossible to determine the motivation behind the actions, and the only reason I can think of wanting to do that is for scum. D3 the first time I mention him is: On November 25 2012 11:05 Acrofales wrote: There is no doubt in my mind that the man is telling the truth. Lay off him.

I felt the only way of putting the argument to rest was to provide the full information. I wanted the coffin nailed tightly shut, you will notice that he was contesting the claim at first. Since the second check he vanished from the thread completely. Pretty much the effect I wanted to get from Toad. Imagine LI, but with an unknown, but > 48 hours before we would be able to kill Toad.

But his claim with the assumption that someone is "hunting" him just doesn't make sense. The assumption is based on setup speculation. Survivors are not fun unless there is a risk of NOT surviving. That risk cannot come purely from scum or town, because then there is the possibility of simply claiming D1 and going afk. That risk could come from an SK, who has to kill everybody before some other faction wins. In that case my claim made no difference. I also think SK in this setup is probably an unwinnable role, so I dismissed that. That leaves the threat of someone who has to kill me. Whether that person actually exists or not? I dunno. But the possibility is enough to make me not want to claim my name. I don't think I increased the risk by claiming 3P, because I was already pretty much outed. If you have the wincon to kill someone you expect is 3P, you are extra-hyper-alert to that kinda thing. Therefore when Djodref blatantly throws it out there and people agree with him, you can bet your ass whoever may or may not be after me was already gunning for me. The fact that I took no damage last night is actually an indicator that nobody is after me. I thought it was already fairly obvious by my behaviour towards Keirathi that I was 3P. I'm still not gonna risk it, though. | ||

This makes my party identical to that of Dieno's, unfortunately, so the only thing I have to run on is the fact that iamp more than likely healed me up to full, so any item given to me will be better than having it on Dieno. If anyone disagrees with this I would love an explanation, but until such time I expect your votes. My vote is fine where it is. I don't care which one of you, Dieno or Keirathi leads the party. I also don't think there's a significant difference between giving you, Dieno or Keirathi the item. Therefore my vote is fine where it is. | ||

A simple: ok, TC, your check means Acro is scum or I was framed. The very lack of that is just extremely telling. Combine that with all the overly careful wording and we have a scum who cannot for the life of him imagine how a townie would react and posts this drivel instead. | ||

If that means getting to a lynch with no clear scum reads, lynching inactives is a pretty good policy imho. Of course, I do have scumreads to go on.

That leads me to conclude that it's one of three things: 1. I am too dumb to decypher this shit, 2. they are simply roughly every 12 hours, depending on when the hosts have time and they are too lazy to tell us that they should be every 12 hours since the Day 2 action deadline, or 3. this has to be something to do with someone's role. Given that nobody has claimed any knowledge of these numbers, I suspect scum or another 3rd party. I don't like calling myself dumb, so my intuition says either 2 or 3. Maybe it's the impact of Lavos? In the game you don't actually fight Lavos when he crashes into the planet in prehistory. However, that means we are skipping the entire part where we have to make Masamune and fight Magus. ##get on dactyl and fly away from Tyranno Lair | ||

Here is what I am speculating about Toad, and why it makes H1 scum: + Show Spoiler [speculation] + Premise: Hopeless1der's vote on Toad for D3 makes no fucking sense at all. Toad's insistence on needing votes felt strange to me, regardless of his alignment. Then it clicked. Queen Zeal -> Drama Queen. A role made for Toad. Also: On November 23 2012 00:48 Toadesstern wrote: <snip> Dude, if you knew :p I'm going to run to leader every single day from now on. I have to, it's my nature Toad reacting weirdly to my drama queen poke. This makes me think the drama queen bit is real and Toad needs a vote every day. This may be in return for a powerful night role, or I am going to speculate even further with a bit of Caller logic here: Drazerk needed to NOT get a vote to be lynch immune in HRM. This is a reversed role, he can only be lynched by nobody voting for him at all. Now I don't think we should put this to the test: if Toad is alive the next lynch day, we lynch the crap out of him. However, it makes sense of Hopeless1der's vote, which is otherwise mindboggling. H1 being Toad's scumbuddy wants to keep Toad alive as long as possible. Toad actually DOES need a vote. Either to prevent 500 damage, or to prevent immediate death. Townies are unlikely to vote for Toad ever again, so it falls to his scumbuddies to do so. H1 is the one to vote. Note that if Queen Zeal is not what I think it is, then all of this is nonsense. | ||

Furthermore I get the feeling of two sides of him. One calm and considerate and one yell as high as you can side. Right now I don't have an abundant of trust for syllogism and sandroba wants to send oats. I have townreads goodkarma and Djodref. Hrmmm. What was your town read of GK based on at this point? In fact, explain Djodref as well. So far, you have managed to say you didn't have a town read on Oats (which I agreed with at the time, so I didn't think too much into it, but suspicious minds would say you were trying to manipulate town off the party)... and you didn't trust Syllo, without any further explanation. You then throw a seemingly random town read on GK out there. That is what I meant with trust, btw. Your usual meta is to be aggressive and angry at everybody.

While I don't think Kita's case was particularly strong and risk is justified in ridiculing it, I am surprised about him asserting that Kita is "scummy". This feels a lot like an OMGUS to just discredit the case off the bat. A case being wrong/bad doesn't make the poster scummy, it makes him wrong/bad. We never actually get to know why Kita was "scummy". What had Kita done at the time? In fact, for someone claiming a scum read on Kita, there is remarkably little interaction between the two. There is no explanation of the read, no attempt to learn more about Kita, nothing. Risk, why did you think Kita was scum? Do you still think so? Why? Further questions: Why did you want to be party leader on D3? I understand the "party was bad" reasoning, but regardless of alignment, you have enough brains to know you had 0 town cred and would never ever get elected in a million years. The decision to try to run just seems really really strange. I can think of a "desperate scum" motivation though. And given that scum was in a pretty bad shape after D1 and D2, desperation is a decent guess of the scum state of mind at that point. Your reason for not wanting to take Dieno along sounds incredibly forced. You honestly expect us to believe you thought that Dieno's HP would play a bigger role than the fact that he is about as close to confirmed town as we can get without flips? I know you have already been asked this by someone (Djodref I believe), but your answers were thoroughly unsatisfactory. Try again. | ||

Am I the only one who prefers the item to go to Keirathi? The whole Masamune thing sounds unlikely and Dienosore may have been healed, but still seems a likely target for scum to hit anyway, being one of the power roles and all. No need to make him likelier by giving him an item. I guess the advantage is that town prot roles also know where to aim. As for watcher/trackers, Syllo claimed roleblocker/tracker. So there's a minimum of 1 in the game. | ||

If he genuinely believed he was the best player to lead town and pick out townies for his candidature, and given how important he said it was and how he wanted control, do you really come back after a long absence with a troll post? How was that supposed to help his possible candidature? His reasons for running for party leader and then his attitude when running for it seem totally incongruous. He said the leadership is very important but his actions in running don't line up with this stated attitude. I do not understand the townie motivation for this. Secondly I want to look at his scumreads, or lack of them, or lack of good reasoning... you get the idea. + Show Spoiler + On November 22 2012 11:19 kitaman27 wrote: I'll start with people I wouldn't want on my team or wouldn't want the elected leader to choose for their team.

This seems like quite a cop out. risk.nuke Besides the fact that he is probably scum, this jerk taunted me by pretending to be interested in hosting a newbie game and then proceeded to ignore my pms. What a scumbag move. strongandbig His opinions have been pretty vanilla thus far. I don't think his contributions have earned him a spot yet. kushm4sta I'm always weary of an erratic player that is behaving himself. These are people he wouldn't take on his party. Just ... weak. Why specifically call out strongandbig as someone whose opinions have been pretty vanilla and haven't earned a spot? It's pointless. "hey guys, this player is unremarkable! but i'm gonna remark on him!" risk is called scum for no reasoning, and iamp is "annoying". Great, it's a big bunch of nothing. I bring this up because it's the closest we get to any kind of scumread from kita for a super long time. His repeated attacks on Cave without ever demonstrating why it made Cave scum: Seriously, read the bolded. kita *knows* drazerk habitually lies and is habitually useless. Where here is there any attempt to demonstrate that Drazerk is scum? + Show Spoiler + On November 24 2012 09:02 kitaman27 wrote: In the early game, Cave brings up his identity and reveals that it would be quite damaging to the town to tell us who he is.

Now if I'm signing up as a smurf, why would I reveal my identity on the first day? The only reason I can come up with is if you have something to gain. From a town perspective, what do you have to gain as to claim draz? He said himself how it would not benefit the town. From a mafia perspective, you have an excuse to lie, troll, and not contribute due to his past reputation.

Might be worth doing the same for consolidation Cave shows little interest in electing a leader on day one. He discredits syllo several times by stating that he is not running. When it becomes clear that syllo actually is running, he simply calls him a wasted vote, without elaborating. He finally decides to vote for me, while giving no indication that he has a town read on myself. Next, I'd like to look over his roleclaim: First off, we know that he doesn't know his success modifier. It's a hidden value. He mistakenly sees another player reference their hypothetical modifier and pretends to know his. He claims that his success modifier is low, yet has no reference to go by. This is a lie. Besides the fact that his role sounds extremely implausible, if a post is partly a lie, there is no reason to believe anything at all. Furthermore, he references a third party character that he needs to take down. How would this fit in with the flavor of a Chef at all? Who is he hunting, the evil third party mushrooms? Now here is the part that I'm not able to put together. What is the purpose of the fake role claim? Is he just playing to his reputation of compulsive fake role claims? Is he trying to draw a hit? When marv claimed to take damage, he seems to indicate that he may have been responsible due to sort of reflective damage ability. Now this leads me to three thoughts: 1) If his first conclusion is that marv tried to hit him, is this the reason marv was the target of a roleblock? 2) If he truly can reflect damage, attempting to take a hit would fit in line with his role claim, even if lying to town is an incredibly awful way of doing so. 3) By claiming damage reflection, is he trying to discredit further attacks on himself for self preservation. Today he has been gone. He has provided no input on today's lynch. I've seen draz play like this several times as mafia and town. At the end of the game, if he's scum, he laughs at the fact that town has ignored him. If he's town, he appears amused and plays the same way the next game. I think he should be forced into a full role claim with an explanation of his entire intentions thus far. At this point, the benefits of hiding his role, does not outweigh the distraction he is causing. If he tries to give us more nonsense, he should be lynched. If he doesn't post again this cycle. he should be lynched. He does it again. A big case against Draz without ever saying why it made Drazerk scum. I pushed kita on it not so long ago because I know kita isn't really a fan of policy lynches. I find his answers pretty lacking, especially his equation to his pushing Storm mafia which I talked about here: In that game he was pushing RoL for being scum due to his absence, and he's pretending here that his push on Drazerk is similar, which it is not. He made a clear effort in Storm demonstrate that RoL was scum, by drawing on past games. No effort to do so on Cave here. For whatever reason kita keeps saying he's going to look at sandroba next but never actually has. There are several mentions of sandroba in kita's filter but always in passing, always something in the future. Also I've pointed this out before, but remember: Literally the first time he mentioned he's in favour of a sandroba lynch. How can he be 'still' in favour of it? Nothing makes sense in kita's approach to sandroba's this game. To summarise briefly: kita ran for party leader on the basis that he wanted control because his town reads are good and he wanted to help town and that was done best by leading. He then did he best to trivialise his campaign by being absent for stretches and making a massive joke post. His scumhunting has not been scumhunting at all. With his first reads post he gives no reason why anyone is scummy. He gives no reasons why Cave is scummy, merely that he continues to be Drazerk. He is in favour of a sandroba lynch by magic, although he keeps putting off talking about him. kita is seriously not hunting for scum. ##Vote: kitaman27 Having said all this I'm not averse to a sandroba lynch either. I find his lack of contributions remarkable. People have been comparing his play to Looney lynch mafia, where he was almost lynched Day 1. Do you know the difference? In that game sandroba had OriginalName as his clear scumread with a good explanation, and during Night 1 he told town to lynch both da0ud and prplhz with reasons. That sandroba, while absent for long periods, was clearly looking to find and lynch scum. That's absent here. I would consolidate on sandroba if needed to secure a lynch.All in all, this makes more sense from a 3P if he has to be included in a party (although my own wincon does not indicate that this is a possibility). However, the 3P vibe gets stronger: Kita has a real obsession with 3P: On November 24 2012 10:55 kitaman27 wrote: So let me get this straight. You knew a person was after your food, so in order to increase your chances of survival, you decide to role claim that you are the chef? Could you walk me through your thought process? To understand correctly, you are claiming third party, but seek to work with town to achieve your objectives? Strange, because Drazerk never claimed 3P, although it was easy to get a 3P vibe from him due to his posting in D1. I had a 3P vibe on Drazerk, but it's only natural because I was wondering whether there was anymore 3P around, being one myself. Then Kita gets accused of being 3P. His defense is rather strange: On November 27 2012 02:47 kitaman27 wrote: oh god. I swear this happens to me every game. Arkham City: "Kita, we know that Palmar and Kurumi essentially roleclaimed third party in the thread, but we think you're the batman!" Aperature: "Oh look, Kita killed 4 scum and presented cases against three others. He has to be third party x20." Storm: "Kita is obviously a hider, but since he can't possibly be scum, he's a serial killing hider!" I'm not totes, but I can confirm that the theme of today's game involves throwing beanbags, so Norstein Bekkler is definitely the one targeting me with these abilities. I claimed a shot on Cave day one providing evidence of a role not related to the games. I presented thoughts on four different individuals on day two. Just because my filter isn't 15 pages doesn't mean I have less content. Marv is the town hero for presenting a busted case against myself, we have people like nuke and cave who haven't shared thoughts on anyone, and I'm the one not interested in scum hunting? No. I'll admit I haven't been as active yesterday, which is mainly because I don't think the town requires much guidance this cycle. The selection of the first two individuals is pretty straight forward and I don't have a scum read on any of the proposed members, even if I'd rather see myself included. Could someone walk me through the reason for clarity? I recall that he had some night interaction with Marv's role, but his 17 page filter is too much to go through in my 20 minutes I have. Back to work -_- He acts like the kicked dog as defense. Rather than pointing out townie reasons for his behaviour, he whinges about previous games in which he was unjustly called 3P. That's not a defense of why he's not 3rd party this game. He has been playing very much like a 3rd party this game. The final piece of evidence is that his whole activity around my claim was trying to get me to reveal my FAKEclaim. Not my real name, but my fakeclaim. It made no sense. But if he's worried that he has a similar fakeclaim and I will blow his cover, then it does: + Show Spoiler [Kita wants my fakeclaim] + On November 28 2012 11:53 kitaman27 wrote: The game was worded so that I had to guess who would be elected or lynched, which is why I tend to think it was a targeted ability and not something built into the game. Acro's role claim is the most important reveal since my last post so I'll go into this first. First off, we treat Acro as an anti-town player. He claims to have a different win condition than us and refuses to reveal the details of this win condition. We cannot confirm he is third party. We only know that his alignment was outed by an investigative role and that he felt claiming third party was in his best interest. We don't have confirmation that he actually used a role check on day two. Keep in mind he revealed the role of a player who already had a scum check on him. As a survivalist, there is little reason to attract extra attention. By revealing his investigative role, he only made himself more of a threat to mafia night hits. Now look at the timing of Acro's claim: Acro explains things well enough here. He was in no danger of being lynched this cycle. He was in no danger of being lynched next cycle. So as a third party player, why would he open himself up to two extra cycles of night actions if there is a player that is trying to kill him? Why not claim three cycles from now? Currently, I feel the town has given Acro far too much leeway with his secrets. He no longer gets to make his own decisions. We get to make them for him. Acro claims to have been provided a fake claim. He needs to reveal this fake claim now so we confirm it isn't counterclaimed and that no other player is able to use this claim later on. Acro needs to role claim. If he truly is a third party player who is being targeted by another player, I'm sure they've already put two and two together. Hiding this information isn't going to keep him safe. If he wants to cooperate with town he needs to reveal his role name, his role, and his win conditions. He no longer has the luxury of keeping these things secret after claiming for survival. If he refuses, we should assume he doesn't have town's best interest at heart. (Please don't shoot me for standing up to you :p ) For the team selection I propose: Dieno, syllo, clarity, TC I don't really feel I have to go into reasons for the first three players. Dieno hasn't had a chance for leadership yet and is requesting it, which is why I prefer him as leader over syllo. TC now has revealed two separate investigative checks that have benefited town. With Acro feeling necessary to claim, we can confirm the legitimacy of his check. I see no reason why someone like phagga or hap should be included over him. In the event that the mafia has the ability to day vig or exclude one of the players in this group of four players, we should probably have a backup, which should be iamperfection based upon his healing of marv, which hasn't been counterclaimed. First I need to reveal my fakeclaim. Second I need to roleclaim. Note the order. I tell him I won't claim. He's perfectly happy dropping that, but he is adamant about: On November 28 2012 12:23 kitaman27 wrote: Of course you won't.

I should probably leave this until postgame, but don't try to blame the hosts for this. They made it very clear what would happen if potential party leaders derp it up.

If the party leader doesn't chose (3) party members the party leader will take some punishment regardless of success or failure. The (3) party members will be chosen at random in this case. This allows the party to be chosen for the elected party leader, even if they are not available at the time the hosts need the party members.

Repeating your same arguements and me repeating what I've already said in response over and over isn't going to get us anywhere. There's a few things you could do to validate my claim.: 1) I already claimed my target in Mason QT. Wait until tomorrow to see if my claim checks out. 2) Bring me along in a party with three "confirmed town." If you can fail a mission and still get a lynch, clearly the consequences aren't that terribad... And what's more, I'm town so you won't even have to worry about that in the first place... 3) Continue to angrily OMGUS me, waste vigi shots and/or a lynch, and be down one more town. Having a claim that is verifiable, this is a very stupid option. Point 1: your vigi claim is neither here nor there. Sandro's flip proves scum has role-based KP powers. That means scum could equally well claim a vig hit. Especially on a dubious target like Drazerk. You saying scum has no reason to hit Drazerk? I beg to differ. SnB+me really really really wanted Drazerk dead in Caller game. Now that may have been a bit of a personal vendetta, but Drazerk has proven to be OP in themed games regardless of his alignment. He acts like a complete idiot (he isn't one, just acts that way) and plays the game as if it is his personal playground. As scum, the motivation to kill him is pretty much the same as town's: he is thoroughly unpredictable and that can be pretty scary. Point 2: I don't know what you're using to support this conclusion. We had 2 party selections before the lynch. We succeeded in one and failed the other. We now have a "hidden lynch". It makes me suspect effects like pardoner and doublevoters are in the game, and these effects might have been outted explicitly in a votecount, but not in its current format. I would NOT conclude that we get a lynch regardless. Other than the possibility for lynch-tampering mechanics I fail to see the problem of the lack of a votecount. Sure, it's a bit of a hassle, but as long as everybody has to vote in the voting thread, we can all keep tabs on what's happening. So... taking GK along on a party and running the risk of a failed party (note that I still have not delved into his filter, so the only info I have to go on is my null read from D2 and my rough impressions as I was reading the thread since then)? Bad idea. Same as taking me along D3 was a bad idea. I honestly have no clue what my HSM is. Greymist left the possibility open that I count for scum. The "I count for 0"-possibility was also left open. I said not to take me because we don't know what it takes to succeed at an event and I want town to succeed. With Keirathi (low success modifier) and me (potentially 0 or negative success modifier) both on the party, it is possible that GK is town and just shit-outta-luck, but I see no reason to take him on another party and possibly have that one fail as well. @GK: I am still going to go through your filter, but I don't recall ever bumping on something you wrote and thinking "damn, GK is town", while there have been plenty of red flags. Does that point directly to scum? No. However, it definitely does not point to town. Step it up. When 3rd party players are looking more townie than you, you're either doing it wrong or are scum. Prove to us it's the former rather than the latter. | ||

Anybody want to own up to dealing damage to me? I really doubt it was scum: they know I'm not one of them, so have no reason to mistrust my survivor claim and that removes me from their wincon. Scum shots on me are wasted shots. That leaves town or someone who needs me dead. If it's town, just tell me, I won't be mad. Otherwise I will assume someone needs me dead and take precautions tomorrow night. I have something that sounds like it could be a paranoid gunman ability. I think it'll be fun. Want to play chicken with me, mr X? @Kita, did you take any damage? I promise I didn't shoot you. | ||

We never actually get to know why Kita was "scummy". What had Kita done at the time? In fact, for someone claiming a scum read on Kita, there is remarkably little interaction between the two. There is no explanation of the read, no attempt to learn more about Kita, nothing. Risk, why did you think Kita was scum? Do you still think so? Why? Further questions: Why did you want to be party leader on D3? I understand the "party was bad" reasoning, but regardless of alignment, you have enough brains to know you had 0 town cred and would never ever get elected in a million years. The decision to try to run just seems really really strange. I can think of a "desperate scum" motivation though.

Your reason for not wanting to take Dieno along sounds incredibly forced. You honestly expect us to believe you thought that Dieno's HP would play a bigger role than the fact that he is about as close to confirmed town as we can get without flips? I know you have already been asked this by someone (Djodref I believe), but your answers were thoroughly unsatisfactory. Try again. Given your reluctance to read, I will compile this post in bite-size gulps for you: 1. Why did you have a town read on GK during d1? 2. Please explain how the post you linked from TC gave you a town read on him? 3. Are you maintaining that Kita posting a trolly campaign made him scum in your mind? 4. Why did you want to be party leader D3? Why did you think this would be constructive? | ||

For those who haven't figured it out yet: derping is just plain stupid as town, but makes sense as scum: a random party means you wash your hands from any responsibility for the composition of the party and a decent chance of it failing (better than if you're forced to take people everybody thinks are townies anyway). Now given Dieno's playstyle I think it was a 1-time derp. I cannot imagine a townie didn't learn his lesson from that debacle, so if we still think Dieno might get Masamune, lets vote him in. | ||

Also, I have no idea what risk is at the moment. - A cult leader (3P) makes sense. His choices seem strange, though. Why pick a high profile, high knowledge player like Syllo if your true intention is to sacrifice them to Cthulhu (or Lavos)? - A scum makes sense. He has no need to include his scumbuddies in this QT, because he already has a QT with them. The main question I have here is whether this is feasible from a balance point of view and what the ultimate purpose of such a QT would be? Can he damage everybody in there or something? - A town has some justification. He has two things he can do with his mason: communicate with fellow townies, or recruit and damage scum. He picked the former. The problem is that I feel the latter is a far more powerful option. Also, if Syllo is to be believed, his behaviour in the QT has been beyond peculiar. Also, his reason for picking Dieno makes no sense, because Dieno has already told us who he is. What was risk expecting Dieno to talk about "in secret"? Especially as the QT isn't modconfirmed townies. @Dienosore and GK: do you find Syllo accurately represented earlier convos in the QT? | ||

Why GK, Keirathi, Syllo and Dieno. Why that order? What is it you're trying to accomplish in your QT? Why claim you can damage people in there and then only invite town reads? And while you're answering questions, answer the ones I have now posted twice already. | ||

That would also give a reason for the countdown: to give us ample warning that there is something big set to happen and we don't know exactly when.

What happens if the elected party leader is killed before the event? Seems to me we probably need a backup.

Also, I won't be switching to GK until I've read his filter (or probably after); I have started a couple of times, but it is long and makes heavy use of run-on sentences like this one, which means that it is really not easy to read. In any case, I think I prefer a risk.nuke lynch. He is being extremely uncooperative. Combine that with something that sounds like a bogus roleclaim and a really dodgy policy for his masonQT selection. A tent with a crystal ball makes me think of the prophet. Not sure he has a tent, but he is a fortune teller. | ||

But I believe he's town and he claims his 1-shot is awesome for town. My reasoning came more from the other direction: I think it's safer to take 4 players who have no funky HSM and don't claim to be at low health. Taking Keirathi and Dino seems like a recipe for disaster, given that if scum shoots Dino, then you're left with 2 + a low success modifier. Could very well fail the event. Scum might have enough KP to off Dino and someone else, making just Dino a risky choice as well. Scum probably has enough KP to off 1 person in the party (see what they did to Marv), making taking Keirathi alone a risky choice. If losing even one member of the party leads to a failure, then we're royally fucked in any case, so it doesn't matter what party you take. That makes me think 3 townie townies is probably enough to succeed. That leaves taking a wild unknown. TC seems the logical choice. Add the claim of the 1-shot and it seems like a sweet deal. However, it does blow through a 1-shot rollback, which could be used to heal Dieno for 450 (I think that's what he claimed) damage, or to save for a future calamity. TC: do you honestly think your 1-shot ability is worth the rollback? | ||

Between the time that you voted me, and the time that you excluded me, you didn't talk any about this HP or HSM stuff. Then bam, just changed your mind. And called the HSM stuff "shenanigans" without any reasoning whatsoever. Anyways, I find it hard to believe that an all townie team can lose an event under any situation, no matter how many people are still alive. That kind of system just doesn't make sense. But I guess it could be a possibility. 1. The longer explanation is what was in my head when I made my post putting Syllo forward. Between my vote for you and my vote for Syllo, Greymist explained what happened if the party leader (and because of his answer, really any party member) was killed between the vote and the event. It made me realize I hadn't thought things through: we have a delay this time, allowing scum to act between election and event. 2. Why do you think an all-townie event will always succeed? Don't you think the number of participants will be important too? Random setup speculation incoming (freely interpreted from risk.nuke's post on the same): lets say we need 3 HSM points to win an event. Normal townies give 1 point each. Low HSM townies give 0.5. 3P gives 0. Scum gives -1. Party with 4 townies: 4 points, yippee, success. Party with 3 regular townies and a low HSM townie: 3.5 points, success. Party with 3 townies and a 3P: 3 points, phew, success by the skin of our teeth. Party with 3 townies and a scum: 2 points, DOOM Party with 2 regular townies, a low HSM townie and a 3P: 2.5 points, DOOM If someone gets shot, then his HSM no longer counts towards the total, bringing it nearer to DOOM. Now we have no way of confirming the event works like this without failing more events, which seems like a pretty damned stupid idea, so it is mere speculation. | ||

I maintain what I said in the earlier post, but what makes him a town read for me is how absolutely stupid it would be for him to fakeclaim frog (of all people) as scum. Scum would have to fear a counter-claim, and as a newbie scum I'm very skeptical he'd have made such a move on his own. I highly suspect not all party members are present, in order to give scum some safe fakeclaims. How did this not cross your mind, especially as Kita had already brought it up early in the game? Getting an inkling of a non-town mindset from this justification, as I would always suspect scum safeclaims. Please expand how simply claiming "Frog" allowed you to go from suspecting that he was deliberately shitting up the thread to one of your strongest town reads. At best this seems gullible, at worst a scum justification. 2 D2 scumhunting. No real questions here, but more a general observation. GK seems to be taking the easy way out on a number of occasions. Most specifically I find his behaviour regarding Sandroba and Toad puzzling: There's two reasonable justifications for his behaviour re: Sandroba. The first is that GK is town, wanted Sandroba to prove he was town and that ultimately never happened. The second is that he parked his vote on a bus, but really didn't want to bus. A suspicious mind definitely sees the latter shining through in the tone of GK's posts: + Show Spoiler [GK on Sandroba] + On November 24 2012 05:39 goodkarma wrote: @Z-Boson: Long story short I was starting a writeup on my thoughts on TheChronicler. I was going to state something along the lines of "Making contradictions isn't something that only scum does, and is not inherantly a scumtell." This may still ring true, but I'm going to take a closer look before this is my conclusive answer. He seems to be piling on more stuff that leads me to stop and think, such as his latest quote: Wat? But you can definitely expect from me a more definitive look at whether I think he is scum, and for me to list my top scum suspect tonight. I know my vote right now is on Sandroba, but given my unfamiliarity with his meta I can't really say it's anything other than a pressure vote on a lurker... You can expect it will probably change. I find this especially damning because earlier on he wanted Sandroba on his party, because the few posts Sandro had made gave him a strong town read. While I will not underestimate Syllo's influence in this lynch, I do not get the feeling from this post that GK even cares about discovering Sandroba's true alignment. On November 24 2012 13:34 goodkarma wrote: I can understand the excuses that Sandroba has provided, but I find the complete lack of followup on who he would consider a prime scum suspect to be disturbing. It's as though he is holding back, maybe... because he's scum, and as scum making up even a half-baked scumread is hard for him. I would really like to see him take some initiative and actually help town out. He continues to fail to deliver in this department, which would leave me to believe that his complete apathy and lack of involvement in this game is indeed scum-driven. I will keep my vote on Sandroba for the time being. Syllo has all but proven himself to be town at this point, and I will change my vote from Sandroba only if he somehow believes he isn't scum after his latest post. This only because I don't feel my scumread on Sandroba is strong enough without the reaffirmation. And yes, sheeping makes me a hypotwit... I am going to now focus my attention on TheChronicler and Kitaman This is just incredibly disingenious and an insult to Sandroba. I know I've said this before, but I cannot believe a relatively new player like GK can honestly think this. Once again, it seems like an invented justification, rather than a sincere thought. Regarding Toad: I do not get the feeling GK is trying to discover Toad's alignment. He is willfully ignoring the main point of the case. I am having a hard time deciding whether this is indicative of alignment due to my own involvement at this point. However, I don't see any reasons in his filter for thinking Sandroba is more likely to flip scum. I just see reasons for not switching the vote. This makes sense from a scum viewpoint if Toad does indeed flip scum (which I do not doubt he will): better to stick with the wagon you've already supported and look decisive in your bus. At the end of the ordeal I don't feel GK has been particularly decisive in the vote. It could be a scumster hoping for a way out and never being offered one (although he declined the Chronicler lynch). The alternate explanation is a townie who is not too convinced in his own reads and prefers to sheep Syllo than me. This is the way he eventually justifies his vote, and I find that an acceptable explanation. However, the lack of conviction is something that troubles me a lot. The last-minute switch to Toad because of a modkill tells me absolutely nothing. Finally, there is this: On November 25 2012 05:49 goodkarma wrote: This is a good point, but it's not like Sandro has been perma-afk or anything. He has been incredibly inactive, but when he has been here he has had nothing to contribute except in defense of himself. This has been brought up before, but it is the same kind of scumtell as you're using for the case against Toad. I won't be upset if Toad is lynched. However, that syllo is on Sandro, and I know that syllo is town, is enough to tip the scales in favor of lynching sandro for me. Scumslip? Or a townie just being far too confident in his town read? This has been pointed out by Keirathi at the time and the response was what I would expect. In general, I find this type of "scumslip" to be bad tells: townies screw this up way too often for it to be reliable. 3 During D3 you were advocating coordinating kill actions, in order to take out scum: + Show Spoiler [coordinate shots] + On November 26 2012 14:10 goodkarma wrote: I'm like 12 pages behind right now, and catching up. I figured I'd bring this particular quote up right now. Assuming everyone has HP similar to the two players that have flipped, several of the claimed damaging abilities are nowhere close to enough to kill off a player. As such, it would be worth coordinating a target that all of us devote our efforts toward for this night and all future nights.

I would say that Toad is a low priority target, as in, please don't shoot him. From the two flips we've seen, and based off the abilities that have claimed that can do damage, there is no reason to think we could one-shot Toad. So targeting people we won't be able to get to lynch anytime soon is definitely a better option. Now to be a bit of a pessimist: There's a reason that people lurk. Maybe they're busy, or maybe they just don't give a shit about this game. Whatever the reason, I wouldn't expect vigis this game to motivate them to change their gameplay. Especially with an uncoordinated assault against multiple lurkers that will take multiple turns to have any chance at killing someone... I have one question for you: If you could narrow the lurker field down to 2-3 targets, who would you propose that town target and why? 4 Lack of scumhunting. GK pretty much breezes through days 3 and 4 without doing any serious scumhunting. While this is somewhat justified by the lack of a lynch and the confirmation of Toad as scum, it is definitely not winning him any townie points on my scumometer. His defense of Prom seems genuine and well thought-out. However, his defense of H1 does not.

I actually like him backing down off SnB. Deluded townies going apeshit happens. However the list post... I don't actually mind list posts when done properly. However, this list is full of NULL reads and things that say you point to town without explaining ANY of it. It is so easy to fake this as scum, that it makes red flags appear all over the place. Redo your list post, this time explaining why you have the read you have. Also, explain your read on risk.nuke: imho the most notable absentee from that list. Your QT has been blown wide open, so you can explain it now.My conclusions so far I am getting a very marginal town read on GK. It's perfectly possible that between Keir and me the party failed. That makes GK an unfortunate casualty. The way he has been playing is definitely not strong town, and I really want to see him step it up, but I don't get a clear scum vibe from him either. There are, imho, scummier candidates who could serve as the "second" lynch target. GK: please answer the questions all the same. Explaining your thought process can only help you, if you are in fact town. | ||

Add that to the fact that I also have my reservations about you, and we are really getting somewhere. I read you as marginally green on D2, but all the reasons I was extremely suspicious of you at the end of D1 are coming crashing back with a vengeance. Also, you are claiming "I took damage and didn't get healed". Clarity is claiming "you either took no damage, or got healed". One of you is lying, or you got targeted by a bus driver/something else dodgy. Your trying to yell over it that we should not look at you, but at Phagga is making all the alarm bells in my head go off at the same time. I am looking at you. Town should probably also be looking at you. I find you a very unlikely target for a bus, I think Clarity is not lying. That leaves you lying. Convince me you were not. | ||

Good luck with that. Well the shitty thing is that there's no way for me to prove my stance here short of screenshotting my PMs. I told you exactly what happened on my end, and as far as I'm concerned that is that. I was talking about your original case. There was 0 mention of his shoddy vote on Drazerk except in passing. That was the case that took you "so long to make" and everybody was ignoring. I had a little mark on Phagga for doing noting D2 except placing a throwaway vote on Drazerk. Looking back, that vote looks even worse in retrospect, so bringing that up is good. However, your first case was just plain terrible. There was very little that requires a scum perspective to explain his D1. In fact, I had him pegged as a slight town read after D1. The "bussing" of Sandroba also is a null read. He was the umpteenth person to sheep Syllo for no-to-very-little reasoning. I have explained what I think of Sandroba votes for no-to-little-reasoning in both my discussion of risk.nuke and my discussion of GK. I feel no need to do so again. I do feel that CJ was complete and utter lynch bait D2 (as Drazerk often is) and scum could easily jump on him (assuming he's not scum himself, which is always a possibility until the endgame post is made or he dies and flips). It's like any other "easy" mislynch that scum like to push, like Kush, Grush, BM, Bluelightz or Risen (yes, I went there). Therefore a Drazerk vote with no reasoning whatsoever is pretty bad. Of course, town also vote for the easy lynchbait, which is why they are so easy for scum: they automatically draw town votes with their play. + Show Spoiler [Drazerk history] + The main difference between Drazerk and the rest of that list is that Drazerk actually doesn't get mislynched (or lynched at all for that matter). He has some magic quality that makes him look terrible and then slip off everybody's scumometer. | ||

I'm mostly curious as there is no way you are mafia and we can't do anything about you even if your win con is to kill some townie. I am slowly making progress on my wincon. My abilities do help me with it. Also, while I have avoided the big shots that hit Marv and Dino, I have claimed all the damage I took: D1 - 20 damage D2 - 30 damage D3 - nothing D4 - 75 damage So far I am not particularly concerned about my "survivor" wincon, but if somebody aims a nuke like the one Drazerk claims to have aimed at Toad in my direction I won't be quite as happy. That said, the damage claimed by Toad, the health claimed by Drazerk and my own max HP mean something is wrong there. The nuke should've been bigger. However, there are too many things that could have happened. Suffice to say, I don't trust Drazerk. It is possible this was all an elaborate ploy by scum to 1. Figure out how much my HP is to see whether it is worth their trouble of offing me (I assure you, it isn't. I expect I am harder to kill than Dino, even without half the town protecting me) 2. Distance Drazerk from Toad by claiming a monster hit on him. It is also possible scum has some protective abilities, which they used on Toad, or Drazerk was lying about having only 24 HP and/or how his ability works. The latter seems a foregone conclusion in any case, seeing as someone claimed he shot Draz for 50 damage last night and Drazerk is not yet dead. | ||

You have done jack shit in town's favour this game, have claimed a use of the role you have which makes no sense whatsoever from a town viewpoint (I was on the fence, but someone pointed out that inviting Keirathi before Syllo would be fucking retarded if you wanted to start a town circle... and GK in there is still bothering me from that point of view too) and refuse to give out your reads or explain earlier reads even after repeated questioning. However, I am satisfied that nobody will voluntarily take you on a party and when we get another opportunity to lynch someone I will be back to pushing you. For now, I will just ignore everything you say except to correct you when you are obviously misrepresenting shit that is happening. Like now. | ||

VE has voted for himself on numerous occasions regardless of his alignment. Those are the examples I can come up with. All I can say on the subject is that it's stupid. | ||

The reasoning at the time was (for the townie votes): "I am town, nobody believes me and it is shitting up the thread to no end. My continued presence in the game will screw everybody over and is skewing people's perceptions of the actual scum in the game. So, lets get this over with, kill me, and then you can all get on with actual scumhunting and I will win the game post-mortem." The scum motivation is of course: "I am scum, but nobody believes scum would willingly kill themselves, so I will vote for myself, thereby 'proving' I am not scum and make it less likely that I get lynched." It is a derp-tell, not a scum-tell. If derping it up is a scumtell for GK (based on meta), then go ahead and use it in a case. | ||

If there's something wrong, let me know in the thread. Weird shit that needs explaining: Hapa heal on D3. Syllo doing damage and roleblocking on the same night. Prom claiming less damage than Syllo claimed to deal. Drazerk claiming less damage than Kita claimed to deal... twice. Kita claiming no damage when Drazerk claimed to deal it. Drazerk dealing less damage than he should have on N4. There are lots of unclaimed roleblocks. There seem to be too many protective roles and way less damage dealing roles than makes sense balance-wise. All members of the N4 party took 75 damage, so it could have been the event, or it could be scum activated to deal damage to the party. | ||

Kush had one, but it was his ONLY ability. I also only have 9 abilities and can't know what they do until I fire them. He claims 250 HP, but never takes the damage he's supposed to and doesn't die when he's supposed to. He claims to be able to nuke for retarded amounts, which don't line up with what actually hits. He doesn't hit Kita with the damage he claims he is doing. Imho one (or both) of Drazerk and Kita is lying about the damage they've been dealing to each other. Add that to the absolute weirdness of Drazerk's role and I am quite convinced Drazerk is lying. | ||

For starters, there is no Turducken that I know of in Chrono Trigger. EMP and a giant nuke also do not go together at all. It's just all so weird. And add to that the fact that your damage report makes no sense. Kita claims to shoot you twice, you take half damage D1 and no damage D4. | ||

I'd say TheChronicler is nearest to being in the town circle without actually being in yet... and it's entirely possible he's been bamboozling us all, but I honestly doubt it. We also have Djodref, who has been giving me town vibes all game and his save of Dieno seems pretty townie too. Given this situation it seems to me that scum really has to get something done. That brings us to everybody else who is trying to get in on a party. Of these Hapa and Kita seem the most adamant about how they should/deserve to be included. | ||

Therefore claiming damage makes you look townier (in fact, it makes you look like valuable town, because scum is trying to off you). Toad claiming the shot "confirms" that this damage came from a scum source. | ||

I suppose the scum motivation makes sense, but it feels like it would be a high risk scum move to make for the reward (a little "town cred")... What is so high risk about it? There is a LOT of damage flying around, most of it unclaimed. Throwing in 100 (or maybe 150) fake damage would've gone completely unnoticed, if not for the heal claim. Nobody knew about the heal notification mechanics, so that would not have figured into a risk-reward equation. Not that I am 100% sure that that is what happened, but there is an unexplained issue here and a scum explanation for making sense of it. I will have to go over Hapa's filter more carefully and honestly can't be assed until we have another lynch cycle. Suffice to say, he should not be on any parties. | ||

It's possible, since the game hasn't really relied on lynching very much, and scum is inherently at a disadvantage when the game revolves around town reads, but I'm not sure that its likely. This also relies on the scumteam having absolutely NO confidence in Sandro's ability to look like town very early in the game. Syllo hopped on the "Sandro doesn't play like this as town" and never left off. It is a very strange bus, when Syllo saying "Sandro's town" would NEVER have caused anybody to lynch him D2, even with so many people claiming they weren't sheeping Syllo. That is the main reason I think Syllo is not scum, not his membership in the D1 party, which is just extra corroborating evidence. | ||

Neither helps us much and if he's town it puts information that Hapa claims is useful to scum in their hands. Either way, pressuring people into claiming is not useful. | ||

Don't really have an idea for what would be best for Flea though. While I really like taking credit for this, it wasn't me. What we need to ask ourselves is: does scum have knowledge about these fights that we don't? I can't imagine how scum is supposed to "win" here, if they don't have some extra information and convince town to take the wrong choice. In the game, there is no option to take the sword. However, it feels somehow right: if we can do that, then we avoid the hardest part of the Flash fight and get an awesome sword to use against him. On the other hand, it could be a trick option. Regarding Flea: I like sending Dienosore at him. It's unlikely he'll live much longer in any case, sitting at 1 HP does not seem like a recipe for longevity this game. Dienosore: are there any awesome abilities you were planning on using that mean we should not send you in to suicide? I seem to recall beating the crap out of Flea with slurp slashes and cleaves. I didn't even have a triple tech yet. Some kind of triple tech might do lots of damage and doesn't risk sending Dieno with his 1 HP. Just before Flea there's a savepoint. I vote option F: use shelter, then let Frogger attack Flea. Random setup speculation: if we had succeeded both events, we might have gotten the dreamstone and repaired Masamune, making this fight easier? | ||

I know we have other stuff on our mind right now, but your defense of Phagga is weird. CJ didn't claim Drazerk after the vote and when Phagga changed his mind. He claimed well before. That was NOT the reason for Phagga to change his mind. That said, there were 2 entire cycles (3 if you count when Phagga placed his vote, rather than when he took it off to sheep onto Sandro) between Phagga having a scum read on Drazerk, and Phagga stating his HP to enable Drazerk's ability. That is 96 hours and on estimate 100 pages of thread. Seems like enough time for Phagga to have changed his mind. | ||

Marv's KISS advice sounds good here for option A. If he has no sword, then how can he hurt us? Unless of course it's a trap. Then option B fuck it starts to sound good, but then he'd most likely get the sword next turn and our battle becomes harder. Right now I'm leaning towards A, but I wont change my vote just yet. I'll wait to see what y'all think. Seeing as we're in Magus' castle and this is the first "event", we have the 2nd 24 hours of the cycle to go still in which we probably have to fight Ozzie and Magus. Given that Masamune is absolutely amazing against Magus, we definitely need you around. What makes you think you can't die, btw? | ||

You claim you took 25 damage and reflected damage back onto one person who hit you. N2 - H1 claims a 126 damage shot. You claim no damage (or at least omitted a damage claim N2). You claim to RB Djodreff, who claims he wasn't roleblocked. N3 - GK claims a 150 damage shot. You claim you took 201 damage. Given that H1 is the only one who claimed a vig shot with weird numbers, it seems as if you claimed N2 damage on N3. N4 - Kita claims a 50 damage shot. You claim no damage.

However, my hit should have gone through Night 2, and I don't know why it didn't. I was unable to deal the amount of damage to myself that I wanted to last night. I still have a shot, its just less than I was expecting. The amount I fell short makes no sense from a percentage standpoint. It was not a round number. No heals to report.

1. Djodreff was in fact roleblocked on N2, leading Dieno to not get protection. Drazerk, could you give us more information on whether Djodreff would get notified if he were roleblocked? 2. Dieno was in no risk of dying on N3, so the protection didn't leave a message. In the latter case, SnB's damage was actual damage with no "heal that doesn't show up as a heal". There is some further things that point me in that direction: 250 damage is a lot to simply deliver while keeping a 300 HP heal secret. A town ability like that would be spreading major misinformation about the damage people have been taking. That sounds contrary to the best interest of town, so I tend not to believe it. As I said before, I have not gotten any indication that our "maximum HP" is flexible. So, given that SnB looks very like he's scum caught in a lie, why exactly does Kita want to let him run around doing 250 damage to whoever he feels like "checking"? Scum will lie. The chance that town will "force" him to use that ability on a townie is larger than the chance that it will be used on a scumbuddy. That means he'll be free to deal 250 damage and then say "yeah, it checks out". If he IS forced to use it on a fellow scum, they simply don't use it, the intended target claims 250 damage and scum laughs their way to the bank. Kita is too good a player not to know this. The only way of using SnB safely is by lynching the "intended target" regardless of what SnB says, which makes his check completely useless. So, Kita, why did you think letting SnB run around doing 250 damage a night was a good idea? | ||

Skip to 5:38. Not all the traps have been sprung, but most of them. It's hard to see, but I think B is the best option. Magus is trickier. On the one hand, I took advantage of his shield being down to beat the crap out of him. On the other hand, you need to have good health, because he will blast the party with a big spell when he's done casting. If I recall it's 200 damage to all. Not quite sure whether to play it safe (use potions and heal) or beat the stuffing out of him. | ||

That's the main advantage to falling down (there's also a chest). However, you only really want to fall down 1 hole, and imho falling down no holes would be better. We're playing mafia, not chrono trigger. | ||

Path C looks like it runs straight into the first trap. Path A looks like it runs into the trap in the middle on the left. Path B *might* fall into the trap in the bottom right, but I think it avoids it. ##Ozzie: B We can hit Magus with appropriate spells when he has his shield up, just takes longer.

Or is it just that the choices we are given are only to determine how much damage we take. For example, we chose Oats as our first attacker against Flea and he didn't claim any damage taken iirc. I plan to claim my actions, my name and my abilities before the night post. But you should only claim if you think you have to and it doesn't put the town at risk. Some people have already pointed to a plausible way for the party system to work that could fail with only town people (if they die along the way, like Dieno just did). Djodreff, you did not claim damage on the first nights. You did not take any? I've been looking at Dieno's filter a bit and have a hard time imagining he shot anybody other than you or GK. Neither of you claimed damage. | ||

I also did some filter diving on SnB. Anybody who says they have a town read based on meta... I don't see it. If I were to compare this to SSM then sure, however I looked over WLIIA and SnB's scumgame has improved a lot since then. I don't find him coming off "more carefree" now than he did there. That said, I don't see where he is pushing a scu agenda this game. He didn't push Sandro's vote D1. He did like a lynch on Sandro early and he has never wanted to be in a party insofar as I can tell. If he is scum, he has played very carefully. However, SnB's most convincing case in WLIIA is on Mementoss, his scumbuddy. So that is not particularly conclusive either. That leaves just the ability. I really want to know what SnB did on the missing nights: N2 and N5. Dieno's flip also indicates that his math is correct. If we subtract 250 damage from N1 and add a 50 HP heal instead, we are left with 145+475 < 750, so he shouldn't have died N4 and need the "mysterious player" to save him from death. | ||

What makes you think this? This seems to me like the least logical way of doing it. If you have a 200 hp shield and don't know about it (which you wouldn't in the normal situation where Prom didn't claim), you take 200 damage, you get a report of 0 damage. That seems far more logical. If you take 220 damage, you get a report of receiving 20 damage. Yes, that means damage goes missing in the night reports. However, otherwise you cannot keep even a halfway decent estimate of what your HP is at. Additionally, heals have already been confirmed to work that way. You take 150 damage and a 100 HP heal, you get told you were hit for 50 damage and that you were healed. Why would the shield work any differently? | ||

Toad needed 11 charges. Even with all events failing, we have so far had 3 events and this is the 4th. Tonight will be N6. So he would've had 10 charges after tonight with all events so far failing and never getting roleblocked. That is STILL not enough to summon Lavos prematurely. It also mentions that he can only do that after we get Epoch, which we do NOT have yet... and given the way the game works, it seems like that will take at least 1 more event to get there (you don't get Epoch after Magus, you go to the prehistory after Magus, then to antiquity and finally to the future where you get Epoch). And Toad could summon Lavos prematurely, meaning there will be a few MORE cycles between getting Epoch and fighting Lavos. Scum had this information and could calculate it from the very start of the game (well, they didn't know how many cycles would have events, but they knew they'd have to wait at least 6 cycles). After running for party leader failed, they might have settled down to play the long game. | ||

I took 100 damage from the bosses (Slash and/or Flea) during cycle 6. That's what I forgot to claim. I lied about how my ability worked to force the mafia to waste some KP on Dieno. My only ability this game was a one-time game ability allowing me to keep a player alive as long as I was alive myself. Hence the reason why I wanted to be on the party. Because some protecting me was in fact protecting Dieno and me. Unfortunately, I don't provide protection for daytime damage. I didn't imagine a single moment during the last cycle that we were going to take daytime damage. Or I would have been 100% against Dieno in the party. I knew he was not going to die if I didn't but I didn't expect this at all. Sorry for this situation... I chose Dieno because I thought Masamune would be an important item for us to defeat Lavos so I wanted to keep him alive so he could use it. I'm dispointed right now and you shouldn't waste your time on my filter imo. I claim to have save Dieno twice. No counter-claim and you can see now that I know the mechanics that explain the protection. I'm Alfador, Janus's Cat during the Antiquity or Dark Ages. I had to chose a new master after the disparition of Janus in the time portal created at the manisfestation of Lavos. @Clarity So who is the most frail between us ? When did you use the action to protect Dieno? And why are you roleclaiming now when you could have bamboozled scum into thinking someone like Syllo was protected? | ||

No. You're either lying about the way your ability works, or not thinking straight. If you targeted Dieno and your protection is the ability that got randomly moved, then the rest of the game you would be protecting someone other than Dieno. On D4 and D5 the daypost said someone protected Dieno. Either that someone isn't you (seems unlikely) or your ability hit Dieno and stuck there. | ||

Dieno's claims: 445 damage N1 0 damage N2 (doesn't matter why) 0 damage N3 (doesn't matter why) and healed for an unknown amount. 475 damage N4 I see no reason to doubt these claims given that Dieno flipped town. On neither D3 or D4 dayposts did we get the message that Dieno had been mysteriously protected. We only got that on D5. Dieno had 750 HP. 750 - 445 - 475 = -170 AKA dead (unless the heal was for more than 170, in which case we have multiple discrepancies and things start to get weird again). In this situation it makes sense for the daypost to say Dieno was protected from death on N4, but not before According to SnB's claim, he didn't actually do 250 damage, but instead healed for 50. That leaves: 750 - 145 - 475 = 130 (plus whatever he was healed for). In this situation it makes no sense for the daypost to say Dieno was protected from death on N4, but not before All I was using your claim for was to make sure that N4 was not the first time this ability could kick in. | ||

I kind of want to believe you because I don't understand why mafia chose to shoot frog on d1 and then ignored him for 2 days for no apparent reason. It seems likely to me that they shot marvel+dienosore d1, but didn't have enough KP to inflict 665 damage on those two and that they believed some third party also targeted dienosore. To be fair, 3rd party DID hit Dienosore. I know I hit him for 75 damage. Add 250 of SnB and there's only 120 damage left from unclaimed (scum) sources. Weird number, but if dealt in portions of 100 and 20, then it makes some sense. Overall, I still think there is way too much wrong with SnB's claim to make me believe the healing part of it. It is also far simpler for me to believe SnB shot Dieno than that there is a poisoner (who has so far only targeted Dieno) or secret damage in amounts large enough to make Dieno die N4. | ||

So we know that these events don't play out 1:1 with the analogous bits of the game. We both chose something you CAN'T do in game, and got a result that CAN'T HAPPEN in game. I still like using the game to inform our choices in the events, but we need to be careful not to think we KNOW that this will work out the same as the game. As to the path, would rather avoid traps. Something like "traps in the game --> xp and items" is one of the things i DON'T think will carry over. This mafia game is already incredibly complex, but that seems like going a little too far with it. So I'd rather take the path that looks like it might not hit traps, B. Magus also probably isn't 1:1 with his game version. We're basically starting on the second phase of the fight, after his barrier is down. From what I remember, healing in the fight draws things out and you probably eat a bunch of dark matters while trying to stay ahead of them with heals. But the limits of this game mean Grey (probably?) can't draw the magus fight out for a bunch of 24 hour periods, and so healing/not dying sounds better to me than trying to end the fight quickly by attacking with everything. So even though I'd probably go with B in the game itself, A sounds like a better deal within the confines of mafia. I'm used to better from you. Your analysis in LVI impressed me enough that I pushed the scumteam to shoot you over some more renowned players. Your posts so far have been speculation about the events, which while important, are basically a distraction from the game of Mafia. This post in particular is using a lot of words to rehash what has been said already. Despite this, I realize replacing into this game must be hard. Reading 180 pages of posts is tough, but you come in with some fresh views. All I want from you at the moment is that you share some of these thoughts. Zbo was lurking badly after some rather dubious actions in the early game. You got anything other than setup speculation? Lets hear from you, a fresh perspective: what do you think of Hapa, SnB, GK, risk and anybody who struck you as looking like scum. What is your opinion of CJ and his inconsistent claims?

1. Useless and 2. Unverifiable. Trolololol. The only question that remains in my mind is why would SnB be dumb enough to claim this and verify that it really is an utterly destructive ability for town? In fact, if there is one person in this game who should know better, it is a scum SnB: he was scum in SSM, the only game where I have seen an early mass claim completely wipe scum from the face of the game, due to a combination of Sandroba's genius and scum completely bolloxing up their fakeclaims. | ||

Can you narrow down the other folks to one or two that you're particularly interested in?

Okay, going forward there are two options: 1. Our choices caused Djodreff to take damage > his hitpoints. He died. This caused the event to fail. 2. Djodreff did not die during the event, but it failed anyway. Djodreff then took damage (either from the event failing or because someone shot him) and died. The latter possibility would make winning events a lot harder than we suspected. We have to take extra care to take high HP people on missions like this one. | ||

So bread-crumbing seems irrelevant here, given that it would only prove that I had a fake-claim and not a real one. However do you really think a heavily-themed CT game would not have one of the main fucking characters in the game as a town role? Well, I asked for a fake claim on D2 and got one. It wasn't automatically supplied. Also, if you breadcrumb your role D1 then it's usually okayish evidence.

The person to buss and the destination person? Bus driver changes everything that happens to person A with what happens to person B and vice versa. Therefore, SnB is claiming that there is an unknown person who was targeting Djodreff with KP, who instead got roleblocked by Syllo instead of SnB. Nothing was targeting the other person, so SnB got off clear. It is a pretty damned mundane use of a bus. I certainly wouldn't bus scum with a scumspect townie unless I was expecting DTs... and the only DTs in this game who have so far given info are TC, who has no more gold and myself, a 3P who had a 1-shot. So... that leaves me without a good protective reason for bussing SnB and only the setting-him-up part is left. Compare this with such things as using the bus on someone like Oatsmaster or Clarity who could expect to get healed and a scum on the other side, or bussing damage from a townie (or scum) likely to get hit by vigis, such as CJ or GoodKarma, onto somewhere it actually matters to scum (like Oatsmaster or Clarity). The most likely explanation is SnB is scum, he targeted Djodref instead of Phagga and is now trying to bullshit his way out of it. Oh, add that to some setup speculation: Greymist stated in the "mafia mechanics bot thing" thread that he deals with roleblocks before busses. This is the standard way of doing it, btw, because if you do roleblocks AFTER busses you can get some really paradoxical situations. | ||

If you allow bus drivers to operate first, then you can get the weird situation where: A drives his bus from A to B. C roleblocks B, resulting in A being roleblocked. Now what? You can really only resolve this in one way: nobody is roleblocked. B can't be roleblocked, because he was bussed with A. A can't be roleblocked because he already performed his action (and if you roleblock A then massive time paradoxes happen). However, this means that bus drivers are immune to roleblocks, which makes an incredibly powerful role even MORE powerful. Not gonna happen. So, roleblocks HAVE to happen before bus drivers in order for there to be any kind of balance. | ||

Honestly, the normal MO is for them not to be. Theoretically also not. I admit that bus drivers are not an easy role to understand, but Djo is one of the few people who we know could not have been on the receiving end of a bus with SnB, assuming Syllo targeted SnB.

Sounds good to me too. End of Time gives nobody powers (not Sandroba either, judging by his role pm). Lets not help Drazerk with whatever nefarious schemes he has. I don't trust him and anybody trusting Drazerk at any point in a game like this is a blithering idiot. I learned my lesson in HRM. | ||

That's an argument for vigging him down, not deciding where to epoch ourselves to, and that's why I have a problem with it. We weren't considering the merits of the EoT, we were considering the merits of not giving draz what he wanted. In any case, I have my own selfish reasons for going to 600AD. I'm not particularly expectant, as my role pm doesn't explicitly allude towards anything, but what the hell, right? K I'm going to bed. 'Nite. What the hell H1? You are fine with shooting Drazerk in the face, but want to listen to his advice?! Do you think Drazerk is town? If so, why do you want to shoot him in the face? Do you think Drazerk is scum? If so, why do you want to listen to his advice? Anyway, my main argument is not even that it's Drazerk, it's that it's Drazerk arguing something that doesn't make any ingame sense. While EoT is a safe zone in Chrono Trigger there is no guarantee that it is in the mafia game as well. In fact, Drazerk puts forward that all Greymist can think up for us if we hang in EoT is lynches, which is clearly false given what already happened in the game. In other words, it is Drazerk making up bullshit arguments... and Drazerk making up bullshit arguments is something to mistrust to the extreme. I can make up similarly speculative arguments: Random speculation 1: If this game follows Chrono Trigger, then Crono is going to get himself killed in this mission. Next stop is to replace real chrono with fake chrono, for which we need to travel to the future! Alternatively we skip this part and go straight to 600 AD to kill Ozzie. Random speculation 2: If you try to kill Lavos at any point in the game before you've killed all the other bad guys, he is pretty much unbeatable. We should therefore travel to all the time zones to take out the bad monsters before we can successfully take on Lavos. The point is: we have NO clue how this game is going to work and what we need to defeat Lavos. Drazerk implying he knows more makes me very suspicious of him and his motives. Note: I still don't give a crap where we go. I am fairly certain I can fulfill my secondary wincon pretty soon and it is not dependent on the time zone. I just seem to be the only one who has played with Drazerk before and you deserve the warning: sheep Drazerk at your own peril. | ||

I know you two are having a happy little tunnelfest at each other, but how can you think SnB is anything other than scum? If he were a survivor caught in this kind of a bind, he would be claiming and yelling at the top of his lungs not to lynch him. Instead he as much as admitted to being scum by posting a joke vote (more on that when SnB actually flips) and contributing as little as possible to the thread. He is behaving as scum caught with his hands in the cookie jar, which is exactly what he is. Sure, there is nothing that conclusively links him to the scumteam so far, allowing him to be an SK or a member of a second scumteam, but there is no doubt in my mind that he is a non-town-aligned baddy. I am unclear on why you are making excuses for him. The easiest way to make sense of this is if you are scum and SnB is not on your scumteam. More information will be had after the flip. | ||

Oh, and if Drazerk's main goal was to not go to 600AD, then I guess I helped him with that, but that just seems like a really weird goal. In that case I believe it's some funky supersticion, rather than malevolent manipulation. | ||

I thought he was fading out because we lynched two of his team mates. He was fading out because he thought scum knew who he was and he thought he had lost even if he managed to keep town off his back. It's not that he is ever particularly active, but in GoT mafia and DFM2 (games I played with town risk.nuke) he was active and posting ideas fairly consistently: it was clear he was reading the thread. This game I don't get that impression from him at all past D3 (basically when we caught Toad). | ||

Here are all the claims that either haven't been verified by someone else claiming the counterpart, or by mechanics (technically TC's claim isn't verified either, but I'm letting that slide) Kita claims 50 damage to CJ. CJ claims taking 25. CJ claims to reflect an action. Hapa claims flame protection on self. Zbo no claim at all. Iamp claims heal on Hapa. Hapa does not claim being healed (but also claims no damage, so /shrug) Clarity claims HP check on Marv (I believe this one is true, but it is still unverifiable) Oatsmaster claims shot on Sandro (see Acro for explanation) H1 claims self-damage. The shot on CJ the next day does not pan out. GK claims to be charging his vig hit. It IS consistent with his explanation of the ability. Keirathi claimed no action. Syllo claimed no action. Adam claimed a failed guess. Acro claimed damage to Sandro, Dieno and VE (only damage to Sandro can be verified together with Oatsmaster's damage, if you assume Sandro was not lying). The really dodgy ones, imho are: Kita's damage to CJ that is not backed up by CJ's claim. CJ's betrayal where nobody claims he was hit by his own spell, or even claims to have targeted CJ. Hapa's flame protection. Zbo not claiming anything at all ever. The other players have at least a plausible story in combination with the mechanics they claim. | ||

N1: Marv and Sandro are roleblocked. Explained by Prom. N2: risk.nuke and Syllo are roleblocked. Keirathi claimed Syllo. Drazerk claimed to RB Djodref. N3: CJ and Prom are roleblocked. Syllo claims Prom. Nobody claimed Drazerk. N4: VE roleblocked. Syllo claims. N5: CJ and Hapa are roleblocked. Syllo claims Hapa. N6: Kita, Hapa and Iamp are roleblocked. Prom claims Iamp and Hapa and CJ claims Kita. SnB never claimed roleblocked. N7: no roleblocks. N2,3 and 5 all have wonky roleblock claims. Only thing that is stable in this is that Drazerk is involved all nights. | ||

It *might* be related to Lavos, but then the wording you have seems too obtuse: why would Greymist drop 1 hint to 1 person about this? In other words, your claim is just plain weird. That's why it's dodgy. I have you as town because I thought your defense was genuine the last time you got into trouble. I thought your tunneling GK was also genuine. However, both can be faked by good scum. So yes, the claim is dodgy. That doesn't automatically make you scum, it just means there's something that needs explaining. | ||

Hapa's ability is theoretically pro town if he uses his flame retardent ability on those he thinks his flamethrower target will target. I wouldn't put it past GreY to have included that. Risk is well known for doing the counter intuitive thing with his ability or position (see pyp:r where, after the order had been chosen he ignored the plan totally and threw the game into chaos) and his use of his ability does mesh with that. I'm very wary of Syllo still being alive. Only way I can really see that is if all these low kp night have actually been afk scum. Which, in my mind, points towards a Risk/VE/SnB three man team after we killed Toad/Sand. Mass claim. Names and abilities. gogogo. Your mass claims are invariably bad. This one is no exception. | ||

Cycle 6 I shielded Syllo.

This sounds very strange. Given that shields don't give a notification I am not sure I trust you on this. If I had a choice between a 150 heal and a 75 shield, I would definitely heal.

Adam claimed he damaged you in N5. You are claiming you could counterattack him in N7. Please explain this ability a LOT better. 300 damage is also far more than anybody except Drazerk has claimed he can do (oh, and H1, but he has to hit himself before he can shoot). | ||

Just because the roleblock on risk is accounted for, doesn't mean that he is clear. I've already brought up the over enthusiastic town read on sandroba day one and how he shows a contradiction in logic when defending GK for shooting Cave, yet providing a scum read on myself who also shot cave. The use of his role is silly from a town perspective and he provides very few opinions. That being said...town having 3 roleblockers, compared to the single roleblocker flip from the scum team is quite strange...especially considering sandroba couldn't roleblock every cycle and there are so many blues the mafia has to deal with. We know Cave has a roleblocking ability that he claims is a jail. I have a town read on syllo and a slightly weaker town read on prom (mainly due to the strength of his role). Cave, I'm quite disappointed that you decided to pass on the opportunity to provide us with 16 fake claims in the same post. You have a reputation to uphold! This just makes shit even weirder. N3: CJ claimed roleblocked yet you claim to roleblock Toad. I got news, because I did that. N6: CJ claimed he could levitate. Nights 3 and 4 you claimed you hit CJ for 50 damage. Now that is in addition to roleblocking Toad? | ||

My actions: N1: hoped for mason, was a multishot. 75 damage to Dieno, Sandro and BioSC/VE. N2: hoped for DT check, got a DT check on Toad. N3: hoped for a big nuke. Got a nuke + jail. Did 100 damage and jailed Toad. N4: hoped for a damage redirector. Got a useless shield. Was supposed to shield me for equal to the damage my target took. Targeted Kita, who probably took 0 damage. Also possible that I took 75 damage from the event and my shield was not yet working. N5: hoped for a nuke, got a "player cannot target you for 2 cycles", but it failed anyway. I targeted Toad just in case he didn't die to the lynch. N6: hoped for a nuke, got a special kind of watcher/tracker thing that is completely useless now, but would've been nice if I hadn't yet fulfilled my wincon. Targeted CJ N7: hoped for a nuke, got a QT. Targeted CJ. All my actions are breadcrumbed rather awesomely. However, they are breadcrumbed by action name, which if I reveal reveals my rolename, which I am not going to do. If you really want, I can give you my fakeclaim and the corresponding action names from my fake claim. I still have 2 abilities left that I can only use on myself. I suspect one is a heal and the other is a damage reflection. However, I have only been right ONCE with my guesses of what my abilities do and that is because the ability was called "Mind Read". | ||

How could you roleblock Toad while also shooting Drazerk (two nights in a row)? How did you roleblock Drazerk on N7 when I got the report that my ability could not target Drazerk? Unanswerable: why did Toad claim the roleblock on N3, but not on N4? | ||

How the hell do you go from "Chronicler provides a bad excuse to drop his plan and sheep the majority" to "town read"? And here we have some more buttfuck terrible reasoning: TC voted for Syllo when Syllo was building momentum and everybody else was losing it. You are a good player. You KNOW there would be scum on a wagon like that. Why is TC's complete throwaway reason a town tell? There's some other incongruencies: Pretty much the first mention of Kitaman in the game. While I don't think Kita's case was particularly strong and risk is justified in ridiculing it, I am surprised about him asserting that Kita is "scummy". This feels a lot like an OMGUS to just discredit the case off the bat. A case being wrong/bad doesn't make the poster scummy, it makes him wrong/bad. We never actually get to know why Kita was "scummy". What had Kita done at the time? In fact, for someone claiming a scum read on Kita, there is remarkably little interaction between the two. There is no explanation of the read, no attempt to learn more about Kita, nothing. Risk, why did you think Kita was scum? Do you still think so? Why? Further questions: Why did you want to be party leader on D3? I understand the "party was bad" reasoning, but regardless of alignment, you have enough brains to know you had 0 town cred and would never ever get elected in a million years. The decision to try to run just seems really really strange. I can think of a "desperate scum" motivation though. And given that scum was in a pretty bad shape after D1 and D2, desperation is a decent guess of the scum state of mind at that point. Your reason for not wanting to take Dieno along sounds incredibly forced. You honestly expect us to believe you thought that Dieno's HP would play a bigger role than the fact that he is about as close to confirmed town as we can get without flips? I know you have already been asked this by someone (Djodref I believe), but your answers were thoroughly unsatisfactory. Try again. I will compile this post in bite-size gulps for you: 1. Why did you have a town read on GK and Djodref during d1? 2. Please explain how the post you linked from TC gave you a town read on him? 3. Are you maintaining that Kita posting a trolly campaign made him scum in your mind? 4. Why did you want to be party leader D3? Why did you think this would be constructive? However, this was rather a long time ago. Since then I have gotten more suspicious. Firstly, when I claim 3P he starts really wanting to lynch me, up to the point of misrepresenting my words just to make me look scummy: What I said:+ Show Spoiler [backup votes] + On November 30 2012 02:15 Acrofales wrote: What happens if the elected party leader is killed before the event? Seems to me we probably need a backup. I suggest Keirathi as first choice (with preferred group the D1 party) and Clarity as second. Best to even include a 3rd (Syllo or Oats?) just to ensure Toad's single vote does not cause havoc. Also, I won't be switching to GK until I've read his filter (or probably after); I have started a couple of times, but it is long and makes heavy use of run-on sentences like this one, which means that it is really not easy to read. In any case, I think I prefer a risk.nuke lynch. He is being extremely uncooperative. Combine that with something that sounds like a bogus roleclaim and a really dodgy policy for his masonQT selection. A tent with a crystal ball makes me think of the prophet. Not sure he has a tent, but he is a fortune teller. Paraphrased in the context of D5: I want risk.nuke as a backup lynch in case there is some system that makes Toad unlynchable. What risk claims I said: On November 30 2012 02:18 risk.nuke wrote: Acro wants to kill me over confirmed scum. I see, you claimed to be pro-town third party right? What happened: risk dropped out of the thread and I had said what I had to say. I had no intention of lynching him over Toad and he was not being considered for a party in cycle 6. What risk claims happened: On November 30 2012 20:59 risk.nuke wrote: Very interesting that Prom and Acro attacked me hard when syllogism led them to believe he thought I was scum and dropped it like a stone when he stated he was merely suspicious of me. This can obviously be explained as paranoid townie behaviour who is heavily OMGUSing. However, paranoid OMGUSing is generally considered a scumtell. Note the complete lack of scumhunting. He doesn't even bother to call me (or Promethelax) scum. He just throws the suspicion out there in the hope that it sticks. The meta-read. Cycle 1: risk is active and I saw very little suspicious in his behaviour. Cycle 2 his reasoning for voting Sandro is rather strange, he gets called out for it and it still sounds strange. However, I don't consider this indicative of alignment, because it is not really indicative of bussing either. Cycle 3 risk's activity drops off. Possible explanation: Sandro dead, Toad caught, VE and SnB inactive. If there are 5 scum and risk is the 5th, I can totally get into the mindset of him feeling defeated and no longer interested in the game. In fact, the "feeling defeated and no longer interested in the game" was why his activity dropped off as an SK in Acme mafia. Now on to his other games. Here is bureaucracy, when called out why he was doing jack shit that game: On July 20 2012 02:37 risk.nuke wrote: lol, I can't believe you believe in your post. But back to that in a second. Well, why I'm doing jack shit right now. I know kurumi is scum and thanks to RoL beeing dumb he's still alive. And that is like having a pointy rock in my shoe. It's hard to motivate myself to focus on anyone else before it's gone. And it may be day 2 but we haven't had a lynch yet. So it's only day 2 by name. We do not have a lynch to look at for information. <snip> The next few days he does nothing, with this justification: On July 25 2012 07:19 risk.nuke wrote: What do you mean I've just been floating under the radar. I've not been playing irc mafia and got 20+page filter. I'm also am aware that I haven't really made cases but not because of lack of wanting to. I just haven't been able to motivate myself into doing it when people are already voicing their suspicion against my targets. If I don't need to convince them i don't need to make a case. And not making cases is not the same as not having reads. And he finally gets lynched. In the meantime he did NO scumhunting of his own and simply followed the flock of townies like a good little sheep. Now on to Liquid City: We get a similar justification for his lurk On October 08 2012 09:06 risk.nuke wrote: You say lurking but I atleast am more simmilar to afk. I'm on a break because nothing is happening in this game, the last 40 pages are useless and might well not have existed because too many are just waiting for it to come to an end. we have our lynch and there isn't anything else to it. Too me personally I can't be bothered to make a case for the lynch 3 days from now, I can't motivate myself for that. Not to mention that after the nightflips you will have better information hence making time spent scumhunting post nightflips more effective then before the flip. This is how I feel and that is all to it. And you might have been forced to be away and unable to scumhunt but you're here now and I'm telling you your case does not impress me the slightest. If this is the best you'll give us I'll lynch you because I know you can do alot better then those sorry lines for scumhunting. However, he comes back immediately with some scumhunting of his own and has OPINIONS about people. After excusing himself for lurking, he posts 4 pages of filter with actual content. He pushes people. He may have been wrong about Mattchew, but he was hard on his case for a little while. It was clear whom risk thought was scum. He also made his opinion of people killing the cop at what was apparently mylo (?) abundantly clear. This game: does anybody even know who risk.nuke has a scumread on? Anybody? Someone risk called scum in the last 5 days or so? I sure as hell couldn't find it in his filter. He dropped into the thread to vote for SnB and then buggered off again. How is this in any way similar to his town meta, where, even if he is not very active, he pushes his reads? | ||

Yeah, I'm not accusing you of anything specific there, because...I don't know what to accuse you of yet. But you make it out like you did town this big favor by claiming where you'd used your actions so "you guys" can "solve the game." When in all likelihood, that's crap. A lot/all(?) your actions were in thread already, so you weren't handing down divine information that nobody knew. And you refuse to answer questions that town wants answered. I don't think anyone is buying what you're selling, but I don't like that you're trying to sell it anyway. 3 of the 7 actions I performed were in the thread. I admit that 3 of my other actions had no impact on the game, but the damage + jail on Toad needed claiming if there is any hope of scumhunting by finding incongruous actions. I fail to see why claiming my rolename and secondary wincon help town at all. You suspect me of lying anyway. Why will claiming magically confirm me as town-friendly? I have said I am town-friendly. I have acted town-friendly. Me talking about me helps absolutely nobody catch scummers. So read my filter by all means, conclude that me being on a scumteam with Toad and SnB would be mindbogglingly stupid. Conclude that me claiming to not want to be on a party as scum would be mindbogglingly stupid. Keep your suspicions about my ulterior motives (I don't see how my claiming would help you with those anyway), but get to scumhunting. | ||

If I use that ability, it just looks at the last point at which I was dealt damage, and then splits my damage between all players who dealt me damage at that point. Until I'm damaged otherwise, you'd be eating the full 300 if you're being truthful about being the sole source of damage on me that night, as I haven't been hit since then. So.. austin has a shitload of KP with pretty much no condition except era? How does this match up with other town claimed abilities: 1. H1 can do less damage per shot and only if he hits himself first. 2. GK can do half the damage per shot and it takes 3 days to charge. 3. Hapa can do lots of damage (more than Austin), but is more likely to hit townies with most of it, even if his initial shot hits scum. 4. Adam has to play NK roulette in order to get a shot which does LESS damage. Or even scum claimed abilities: 1. Sandro can do 200 damage, spread out over 4 days. 2. SnB can hit for 250 damage, once per player per game and only if they are dumb enough to roleclaim. 3. Toad can do 100 damage per night (probably most similar in total amount of damage) There are only two abilities that can even approach that amount of damage: Drazerk's claimed EMP, which is almost certainly a lie and definitely a lie in how much damage it does. Kush's 1-shot dayvig. However, this is balanced by being 1-shot and having a risk of suiciding (although only if you use it as a complete derp like he did). I am having a hard time wrapping my head around giving town this amount of KP, which seems to top what scum can do. | ||

Is this inline with Zbo's reasoning as town? He is willing to vote Sandro blindly on the assertion that "there are people who can figure Sandro out".

However, it'd have to be exactly 75 damage to show up as it did. | ||

There are some posts that just don't sit right with me, but it could be the problem of English as a second language. His vote for Sandro D1 is not really indicative of alignment. His reasoning for the vote might be, but depends on meta. He never hopped off, but scum could easily have hopped off: Sandro wasn't getting elected. His vote for Toad on D2 is also not indicative of alignment. He spends most of the day tunneling TC and never leaves off his scum read, however it was clear that TC was not going to be lynched. Choices were basically Sandro and Toad and a non-Sandro vote is consistent with his D1 behaviour. After the lynch he makes a couple of posts accusing various people of being scum, but his activity drops off and he never follows up with actions. I will have to look at VE and SnB's filters to see if there's any associative tells, but Zbo's filter doesn't give me much to work with. At the moment I am liking the test. Austin healing H1 seems like a pretty good idea. H1 is an unlikely target for other protection and I think he's probably town. Lets see if he can get that heal. Back to deciding between CJ and risk which one is worse. | ||

N1 - shoot 50 damage at CJ, could not RB 600AD N2 - RB risk, no damage. 1000 AD N3 - RB toad AND 50 damgae at CJ Future N4 - RB toad AND 50 damage at CJ EoT N5 - RB CJ, no damage Prehistory N6 - RB VE, no damage 600AD N7 - RB CJ, no damage Antiquity I can see no pattern based on era. Also no pattern based on "can only roleblock whom he damaged". Mind explaining a bit more? | ||

The claims: 1. Drazerk claims "Levitation", making him untargettable. He does not claim roleblocked. 2. Acro claims using an ability on Drazerk and being told it could not activate on Drazerk. 3. Kita claims he roleblocked Drazerk and it went through. Claims 1 and 2 cohere. Claim 3 cannot be true if these are true. Assume claim 3 is true, then there are two possibilities: 1. Levitation was activated in a previous cycle. However, then Drazerk would be untargettable and thus unable to be roleblocked. Direct contradiction with claim 3. Claim 1 must be false. However, if claim 1 is false, then claim 2 is false as well. 2. Drazerk was roleblocked and unable to cast Levitation. However, then he would've been notified of the roleblock and I would have been able to target him. Therefore claims 1 and 2 are false. While it is normal for me to expect Drazerk to be lying, the mod tells the truth. Greymist told me my action failed. He did not say I was roleblocked, just that my action failed. Drazerk being untargettable would be a pretty good explanation of that. However, I am not clear on how VE and Kita could be a scumteam together. There are really only two (outside) possibilities I can think of: 1. The scumteam decided really early on that using BioSC's abilities was not really worth it on the first 2 nights (after which they were never used again), and they fakeclaimed in order to distance VE and Kita from each other. This seems absurd. 2. BioSC targeted Dienosore, who used Slurp Slash on Kita. The random action that got redirected was the guessing game. Either this happened 2 nights in a row, or on N2 VE didn't send in an action and Kita took advantage of it to strengthen the distancing. While I can imagine BioSC targeting Dieno with it, I see no indication in Dieno's filter of him even considering Kita as a target for his shot. Additionally, Kita didn't claim the 50 damage. Which makes me wonder: why is Kita lying about his night actions? | ||

So I was the strongest opponent to a scum sandroba election, I roleblocked a scum toad twice, I got targeted by VE's abilities, I roleblocked a scum VE, I mentioned multiple times that I thought VE was scum, I caught S&B in his fake claim, and I've been targeting Cave (and hopeless once n2) with my night hits. Clearly my strategy is to bus my entire team, shoot the troll, and hope Lavos can take out the 15+ remaining townies. @syllo, does a roleclaim benefit us right now? I'm clearly not scum, only the third party player is suspicious of me, and revealing how my role works provides the mafia team with extra information. Like I said before, I'd be willing to claim if Acro wants to come clean. At least that benefits town information wise. If you had read my post you would also have seen that I don't think you're scum. Doesn't mean I don't think you're lying. As for claiming, I don't know why you're trying to connect my claiming my identity to you claiming how your ability works. I don't really care about having the knowledge out there. I care about resolving things that don't make sense. Your claiming helps with the second part. My claiming anything further is only putting information in the thread for the sake of sating your curiosity. As for whom you roleblocked? Maybe you didn't roleblock anybody. You've only roleblocked 2 people who have claimed and not been counterclaimed. While you seem to have a roleblock, I am starting to doubt you have used it every night since N1. Did you breadcrumb your roleblocks before they happened? Because claiming roleblocks on scum posthumously is a pretty easy thing to do. I think you're probably 3P and your wincon may or may not be helpful to town. My guess is that it's not. However, it's probably not worth lynching you for, with risk.nuke pretty much claiming scum with his absence. @Syllo: you have not roleblocked someone who was untargettable and had your action fizzle. | ||

N1 - reflect one ability onto its caster N2 - roleblock Djodreff N3 - roleblocked N4 - nuked Toad N5 - roleblocked N6 - jail Kita N7 - untargettable N8 - make party infallible if Acro is in it (probably only for 1 cycle) They were also in the spreadsheet. It's really not that hard. | ||

You said you healed Clarity the night that Prom said he shielded him. I am not seeing where Oats claimed the 75 damages that have been flying around, however for the whole N1 shield on Hapa it seems quite obvious to me. Unless scum did 175 damage, either Zbo or Hapa is lying. I will have to go over Hapa's filter again and risk.nuke's filter might contain some associative tells: at least he has more content than any of the scum we flipped before. For the meantime, lets try to figure out night actions. Did anybody target Hapa with anything on N1 or N2? If Hapa is lying and Zbo telling the truth, it is possible Hapa did his flame thrower thingy and inadvertently did damage to himself. If Zbo is lying, then there probably is no damage shield. Claimed actions targeting Hapa: I see a heal from Iamperfection. Iamperfection didn't claim being hit by 100 damage, so there was no flamethrower there. I see a self-target of the flame protect from Hapa. Even if we assume that was a lie, it still doesn't explain 75 damage. Unclaimed: Dieno targeting Hapa still makes no sense of the damage. Sandro was roleblocked into dead. VE targeted Kita. SnB and risk.nuke don't have a 75 damage shot. So none of the dead people seem to have targeted Hapa. Nothing that has been claimed so far can explain the missing damage. If you targeted Hapa on N1 or N2 for any reason, please say so now. | ||

Syllo - was in the tent, successful party and nailed Sandro and SnB TC - nailed Toad when there was no reason for it from a scum perspective. Overall townie filter GK - was in the tent, all scum tried to get him killed (except risk) Prom - was shot by SnB, abilities pan out Oats - was shot by SnB, was on a successful party, abilities pan out Iamperfection - I was going to put him with the strong reads, but saw some weird things with his heals. Please claim who you targeted on N7? Kita - scum seems too weird. Could be 3P with a good fakeclaim. However, town for now. Hapa - Syllo roleblocked him last night and he went nowhere. Forgot to send in abilities. Also filter is moderately townie. Negative points for weird claim and being in quite a number of claim controversies. H1 - filter-based I say town. Ability is consistent and makes sense lore-wise. However, his targets have not been verified. Damage on Drazerk is outright missing. Cannot verify damage on Toad. Only confirmed shot is Hapa. Phagga - cannot verify based on abilities. Filter is moderately townie, but not much there. Adam - same story. Zbo/austin - claim is not making sense so far. Null filter. Elimination game makes him scum. | ||

Who healed Iamp on N2? What happened with the whole Levitate vs. Roleblock deal with Drazerk? Who hit Acro, Iamp, Clarity and Djodreff with 20, and 30 damage N1 and N2? There is also quite a bit of small amounts of damage that is unclaimed. Syllo got hit for 50 on N1. Kita got hit for 50 on N2. TC got hit for 50 on N3. Zbo got hit for 75 on N4. Iamp got hit for 50 on N6. Can we get claims for this damage please? Making sense of Drazerk: I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Drazerk was actually hit for all the damage he claimed he didn't take. He had 500 health. Lets count: 50 damage N1 126 damage N2 201 damage N3 50 damage on N4 0 on N5, N6 and N7. Total before N8: 427 Either Oats' 75 damage or GK's shot finished him off. So all the missing damage on Drazerk could be accounted for by simply assuming he was lying about how much damage he took. The levitate vs. roleblock thing still makes no sense to me. It's possible that the levitate is targeted: he has to choose someone (or someones) who cannot target him. My ability is targeted. I have to actually pick someone who cannot target me. The lack of a sandwich also makes no sense unless someone roleblocked him tonight. Kita, did you RB Drazerk? | ||

Problem is that that is the night Marv died, which took a minimum of 550 KP. Toad was roleblocked, Marv was not in risk's chatroom and I find it highly unlikely that SnB managed to guess Marv's name. That leaves whatever abilities the final scummer has + factional KP. | ||

He didn't push his Zbo scum read when there wasn't a "confirmed" scum to lynch and we killed risk.nuke. On the other hand, he didn't try to move the lynch off risk.nuke either. He has some posts that could be considered soft-defenses of risk, but he never tries to push any alternative lynch either, but is content to see where the thread goes. It could be a scum hoping to fly under the radar, or a fairly inactive townie. There also doesn't seem to be enough comparison material for me. His last scumgame was LVI which doesn't seem representative, because he was modkilled for inactivity. I can't find anything else that is even remotely recent. I do find that he plays fairly similar to this as town. TLDR: while Adam makes sense and seems to be a voice of reason in the thread, his scumhunting is rather limited and seems to focus on easy cases. I see nothing obviously scummy, but it's not conclusively town either. Next up: Phagga. | ||

Kita got hit for 50 on N2. TC got hit for 50 on N3. Zbo got hit for 75 on N4. Iamp got hit for 50 on N6. Can we get claims for this damage please? Making sense of Drazerk: I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Drazerk was actually hit for all the damage he claimed he didn't take. He had 500 health. Lets count: 50 damage N1 126 damage N2 201 damage N3 50 damage on N4 0 on N5, N6 and N7. Total before N8: 427 Either Oats' 75 damage or GK's shot finished him off. So all the missing damage on Drazerk could be accounted for by simply assuming he was lying about how much damage he took. The levitate vs. roleblock thing still makes no sense to me. It's possible that the levitate is targeted: he has to choose someone (or someones) who cannot target him. My ability is targeted. I have to actually pick someone who cannot target me. The lack of a sandwich also makes no sense unless someone roleblocked him tonight. Kita, did you RB Drazerk? | ||

Anyway, I'm out of time. I didn't come upon anything obviously scummy. If given a choice between Adam and Phagga I would prefer to lynch Phagga, but I still prefer austin over either, although this is by far the least sure I have been of a lynch since the Sandro lynch. ##Lynch: austinmcc Epoch: Antiquity Lets go kill Queen Zeal in Antiquity.

1. I am Magus. I clearly have mommy issues, because my wincon was to kill Queen Zeal. Her fascination with Lavos caused me to be ripped from time and I want revenge. The reason I don't know what my spells do is because I am blind with rage and all my spells are powerful, so I don't care what I cast. Having to kill Queen Zeal is the main reason I claimed the redcheck when I really didn't have one. My plan was to wait until we had a lynch cycle and then really push Toad. I planned on using his rolename to convince town that Queen Zeal couldn't be town and to get him lynched. In the meantime I would try to shoot him with anything I had and hope he died. However, when TC claimed the red check and Toad fakeclaimed, I just took the FAR easier way out: I knew Toad's roleclaim was fake, but just a name check is not a town role. At the time I didn't want to claim anything yet and so needed a way of getting his name into the thread without being automatically branded 3P (or second scumteam). Claiming one-shot name and alignment seemed like it was at least plausible for town to have, so I claimed a second red check on Toad together with the name (of course, I had to claim 3P not much later anyway, so I should probably not have bothered). Anyway, I was 99.9% sure he was scum at the time anyway because of 1. his behaviour, 2. TC's red check and 3. the fakeclaim, so I didn't think that bit would make much difference. The reason I didn't immediately claim the alignment check was fake after we lynched Toad is because there was not much reason to and because it would make it really clear that I really really wanted Toad to die, up to the point where I fake a red check. People in this game are smart and would've been able to put Magus together from that. My later actions have mainly focused on scumhunting in the traditional way, because when given a choice I prefer to win with town than with scum... and scumhunting was pretty easy for most of this game, with them claiming scum in the thread and all. I used most of my remaining actions on Drazerk, because he is Drazerk. I only started crumbing on D3 after I was forced to claim 3P. I asked for a fakeclaim to be a similar blind JOAT role, but not called Magus. Grey gave me Masa & Mune: because my parts are broken, they are out of synch and don't know what they are doing. It's a bit of a shame I never got to use it, because I thought it was a rather amazing fakeclaim.

I knew this might be a multi-shot nuke based on this name, rather than the mason channel I hoped for, so I targeted Sandroba, because if the ability gave me a mason chat, then awesome, if not, then he was still a lurker at the end of D1 and I didn't feel bad shooting him. BioSC, because mason channels help lurkers get more active, at least in the chat. I already shot BioSC for lurking in Bastard 2 and wanted to know his alignment.

I was paranoid about my 3P claim and thought people would try to shoot me. However, I thought Shadow Shield might also protect myself and my target, or bus myself with my target, so didn't want to target Toad.

Why specifically call out strongandbig as someone whose opinions have been pretty vanilla and haven't earned a spot? It's pointless. "hey guys, this player is unremarkable! but i'm gonna remark on him!" risk is called scum for no reasoning, and iamp is "annoying". Great, it's a big bunch of nothing. I bring this up because it's the closest we get to any kind of scumread from kita for a super long time.

Now if I'm signing up as a smurf, why would I reveal my identity on the first day? The only reason I can come up with is if you have something to gain. From a town perspective, what do you have to gain as to claim draz? He said himself how it would not benefit the town.

Might be worth doing the same for consolidation Cave shows little interest in electing a leader on day one. He discredits syllo several times by stating that he is not running. When it becomes clear that syllo actually is running, he simply calls him a wasted vote, without elaborating. He finally decides to vote for me, while giving no indication that he has a town read on myself. Next, I'd like to look over his roleclaim: First off, we know that he doesn't know his success modifier. It's a hidden value. He mistakenly sees another player reference their hypothetical modifier and pretends to know his. He claims that his success modifier is low, yet has no reference to go by. This is a lie. Besides the fact that his role sounds extremely implausible, if a post is partly a lie, there is no reason to believe anything at all. Furthermore, he references a third party character that he needs to take down. How would this fit in with the flavor of a Chef at all? Who is he hunting, the evil third party mushrooms? Now here is the part that I'm not able to put together. What is the purpose of the fake role claim? Is he just playing to his reputation of compulsive fake role claims? Is he trying to draw a hit? When marv claimed to take damage, he seems to indicate that he may have been responsible due to sort of reflective damage ability. Now this leads me to three thoughts: 1) If his first conclusion is that marv tried to hit him, is this the reason marv was the target of a roleblock? 2) If he truly can reflect damage, attempting to take a hit would fit in line with his role claim, even if lying to town is an incredibly awful way of doing so. 3) By claiming damage reflection, is he trying to discredit further attacks on himself for self preservation. Today he has been gone. He has provided no input on today's lynch. I've seen draz play like this several times as mafia and town. At the end of the game, if he's scum, he laughs at the fact that town has ignored him. If he's town, he appears amused and plays the same way the next game. I think he should be forced into a full role claim with an explanation of his entire intentions thus far. At this point, the benefits of hiding his role, does not outweigh the distraction he is causing. If he tries to give us more nonsense, he should be lynched. If he doesn't post again this cycle. he should be lynched. He does it again. A big case against Draz without ever saying why it made Drazerk scum. I pushed kita on it not so long ago because I know kita isn't really a fan of policy lynches. I find his answers pretty lacking, especially his equation to his pushing Storm mafia which I talked about here: In that game he was pushing RoL for being scum due to his absence, and he's pretending here that his push on Drazerk is similar, which it is not. He made a clear effort in Storm demonstrate that RoL was scum, by drawing on past games. No effort to do so on Cave here. For whatever reason kita keeps saying he's going to look at sandroba next but never actually has. There are several mentions of sandroba in kita's filter but always in passing, always something in the future. Also I've pointed this out before, but remember: Literally the first time he mentioned he's in favour of a sandroba lynch. How can he be 'still' in favour of it? Nothing makes sense in kita's approach to sandroba's this game. To summarise briefly: kita ran for party leader on the basis that he wanted control because his town reads are good and he wanted to help town and that was done best by leading. He then did he best to trivialise his campaign by being absent for stretches and making a massive joke post. His scumhunting has not been scumhunting at all. With his first reads post he gives no reason why anyone is scummy. He gives no reasons why Cave is scummy, merely that he continues to be Drazerk. He is in favour of a sandroba lynch by magic, although he keeps putting off talking about him. kita is seriously not hunting for scum. ##Vote: kitaman27 Having said all this I'm not averse to a sandroba lynch either. I find his lack of contributions remarkable. People have been comparing his play to Looney lynch mafia, where he was almost lynched Day 1. Do you know the difference? In that game sandroba had OriginalName as his clear scumread with a good explanation, and during Night 1 he told town to lynch both da0ud and prplhz with reasons. That sandroba, while absent for long periods, was clearly looking to find and lynch scum. That's absent here. I would consolidate on sandroba if needed to secure a lynch.All in all, this makes more sense from a 3P if he has to be included in a party (although my own wincon does not indicate that this is a possibility). However, the 3P vibe gets stronger: Kita has a real obsession with 3P: Strange, because Drazerk never claimed 3P, although it was easy to get a 3P vibe from him due to his posting in D1. I had a 3P vibe on Drazerk, but it's only natural because I was wondering whether there was anymore 3P around, being one myself. Then Kita gets accused of being 3P. His defense is rather strange: He acts like the kicked dog as defense. Rather than pointing out townie reasons for his behaviour, he whinges about previous games in which he was unjustly called 3P. That's not a defense of why he's not 3rd party this game. He has been playing very much like a 3rd party this game. The final piece of evidence is that his whole activity around my claim was trying to get me to reveal my FAKEclaim. Not my real name, but my fakeclaim. It made no sense. But if he's worried that he has a similar fakeclaim and I will blow his cover, then it does: + Show Spoiler [Kita wants my fakeclaim] + On November 28 2012 11:53 kitaman27 wrote: The game was worded so that I had to guess who would be elected or lynched, which is why I tend to think it was a targeted ability and not something built into the game. Acro's role claim is the most important reveal since my last post so I'll go into this first. First off, we treat Acro as an anti-town player. He claims to have a different win condition than us and refuses to reveal the details of this win condition. We cannot confirm he is third party. We only know that his alignment was outed by an investigative role and that he felt claiming third party was in his best interest. We don't have confirmation that he actually used a role check on day two. Keep in mind he revealed the role of a player who already had a scum check on him. As a survivalist, there is little reason to attract extra attention. By revealing his investigative role, he only made himself more of a threat to mafia night hits. Now look at the timing of Acro's claim: Acro explains things well enough here. He was in no danger of being lynched this cycle. He was in no danger of being lynched next cycle. So as a third party player, why would he open himself up to two extra cycles of night actions if there is a player that is trying to kill him? Why not claim three cycles from now? Currently, I feel the town has given Acro far too much leeway with his secrets. He no longer gets to make his own decisions. We get to make them for him. Acro claims to have been provided a fake claim. He needs to reveal this fake claim now so we confirm it isn't counterclaimed and that no other player is able to use this claim later on. Acro needs to role claim. If he truly is a third party player who is being targeted by another player, I'm sure they've already put two and two together. Hiding this information isn't going to keep him safe. If he wants to cooperate with town he needs to reveal his role name, his role, and his win conditions. He no longer has the luxury of keeping these things secret after claiming for survival. If he refuses, we should assume he doesn't have town's best interest at heart. (Please don't shoot me for standing up to you :p ) For the team selection I propose: Dieno, syllo, clarity, TC I don't really feel I have to go into reasons for the first three players. Dieno hasn't had a chance for leadership yet and is requesting it, which is why I prefer him as leader over syllo. TC now has revealed two separate investigative checks that have benefited town. With Acro feeling necessary to claim, we can confirm the legitimacy of his check. I see no reason why someone like phagga or hap should be included over him. In the event that the mafia has the ability to day vig or exclude one of the players in this group of four players, we should probably have a backup, which should be iamperfection based upon his healing of marv, which hasn't been counterclaimed.

I am guessing it is some kind of heal, but the name is really cryptic (because it's an item in the game that enables you to cast Dark Matter). I already asked Greymist about it and he said that they ran out of spell names, so gave me an item name instead of a spell name, but it still works as a spell.

I can still reactivate one of my abilities and am happy to use that to prove I am not scum. | ||

Austinmcc does NOT care about the future of this game, in any way, shape or form. He cares about not getting lynched, and not getting lynched ONLY. After this cycle it seems we won't get to kill him if I read Greymist's post correctly. Cycles will be focused on killing Lavos. Scum will help Lavos by trying to kill town faster than Lavos can kill them. That is scum's ONLY hope of winning. Now I know this applies to me too. I am a survivor after all. I'd point out that I can shoot Lavos, but that is not a compelling reason why I am not scum. The compelling reason for me not being scum can be found by reading my filter. As scum, I had absolutely NO reason to: 1. Hard defend Sandroba and nail Toad with a case instead. I chose to try to derail an easy, and necessary, bus on one scumbuddy in favour of making a coherent case on my other scumbuddy who was in no way, shape or form, under any real suspicion? 2. Started to bus risk.nuke in cycle 4 (here is where I start pressuring him seriously. Before then I had nothing concrete. This slowly grows into a full-blown scum read over the duration of the game), when Toad was not even dead yet. 3. Claimed I didn't want to be in a party immediately when people started thinking I was a real candidate. Other scum so far has wanted to be in a party. Why would I try NOT to be in a party? 4. Tried to mason chat 2 of my scumbuddies and shot them for 75 damage instead. Sandroba's damage is verifiable, unless someone else wants to claim 75 damage to Sandroba on cycle 1. If this was a scum plan to bus, then why did VE never claim that damage? Shitty plan. Now that I have shown why me being scum would be me playing absolutely terribly, lets move on to the main interest of this post: why austinmcc is scum No plan for the future. No interest in the future Let us start with a quote by austin himself, pointing out why the lack of a long-term plan makes phagga scummy: On December 09 2012 07:04 austinmcc wrote: Syllo, there aren't a lot of voters around and active from what I can tell, so I'm talking to you here. You say this: Game has been long. Yes, I'm sure whoever isn't lynched will get roleblocked. That's expected. But... I am thinking about tomorrow. I am thinking about the day after tomorrow. I want to be around tomorrow, I have a reason to go to 65,000,000 BC, because between shooting Adam and checking Acro, I'd rather check Acro. On the off chance that I can check Acro before lavos pops, although that seems unlikely, I want to be able to do so. Gives us some knowledge of what we're dealing with if he does anything weird. Do you know what phagga wants to do tomorrow? Do you know what phagga wants to do the day after tomorrow? AFTER ALL THE TALK OF WHO CAN USE WHAT ABILITY ON PHAGGA FOR HIM TO COPY...THERE IS STILL NO DISCUSSION OF THAT. He's not thinking about this game's future, because he knows that if I get lynched today, he gets lynched tomorrow. I'm trying to keep playing this game. He doesn't seem interested in the future AT ALL. Why? If we're really about to summon lavos, and he's town, isn't he thinking about where he wants to fight lavos? What he wants to do this cycle? Asking someone to use not a heal but SOMETHING on him that we want against lavos? He's not doing any of that. Because he has no future in this game. So... Phagga has not said what he wants to do in the future of the game. This is clearly a scumtell, because, using the words in this very post: he knows that if austinmcc gets lynched, then phagga will get lynched the next day. Phagga is, according to austin, not interested in the future at all (I disagree, I clearly read that he wanted to get healed so he could heal other people, but I don't remember whether that came before or after this post). What I DO know is that austin has NOT thought about what happens in 1999. He has claimed a whole bunch of abilities in all other eras, but he seems unconcerned about 1999. So... austin does not care about the future, despite saying he does: On December 09 2012 07:08 austinmcc wrote: That's all I've got. I have to run to dinner now, will be checking phone when I can. I'm not scum. I'm trying to play this game and see lavos pop, I'm still thinking about the future. I'm trying to figure things out. I claimed my role in full to try and help with that, I didn't shoot someone who I hadn't read up on for 300 damage. You may not love the case on phagga, but what part of the case on me do you love? If there is one. Okay, so he is thinking about the future, but not about what he can do in 1999, when Lavos will drop out of the sky, something that has been known since the opening post layed out the rules. Now, why did austinmcc think SnB was scum? On December 03 2012 06:28 austinmcc wrote: SnB Leaning scum. Mainly based on the roleclaim, because ... that's the thing I most have to work with. Forget the rolenaming. Forget his other stupid ability that he claimed. He says: (1) SnB says he never asked Grey how this works. Other people seem to be expressing concern that he equated +max HP with "heal" without checking with Grey. Yes, that's questionable. But beyond that...SnB isn't an idiot. If that were actually SnB's ability, he would absolutely have to check with Grey, because...it frigging does 250 damage. The way it's phrased, you can't tell how the parts resolve. Does it do 250 damage to someone, and then, if they're alive, heal them/raise hp? EVEN IF SnB thought +max hp = heal, he has to ask whether he can accidentally kill someone before raising their hp. That's...crazy important. I can believe that he interpreted +max HP to be heal, but I can't believe he wouldn't ask whether both happen at once or whether he basically CPR docs someone if they're under 250 hp. <snip> That's right! He didn't bother figuring out what a critical aspect of his role did before everybody else wanted to know. Now we have: On December 10 2012 11:26 austinmcc wrote: It was announced that whoever wasn't lynched was going to be roleblocked. There was no reason for syllo to make this an idle threat, I actually believe that he's tired of this game and didn't care who got lynched. So it's not really worth sending in an action that's guaranteed to get blocked. Syllo, I checked. No, I did not claim an ability in 1999 AD. I did not know if I had one, there was nothing in my original role about that. Turns out I can choose any of the three gurus and be that guy for 1999 AD. So...either heal/shield, or if we think we've got enough of that, I can go counterattack and hope lavos hits me. Errrr, whoops? Conclusion: austinmcc has done exactly what he accused others of doing. He has showed no interest in looking past the next lynch. If you want any further proof of that, you can peruse some of the juicy quotes from the next point in this case. However, the fact that he never bothered to figure out how his ability works in the endgame can be explained quite easily: his ability works different to what he told us, just as SnB's did and he didn't think his fakeclaim through properly, leaving 1999 as the obvious flaw. The missing scum Once again, in austin's own words: On December 10 2012 11:13 austinmcc wrote: Still not scum. Defending oneself in a game is draining and time-consuming. I'm a little burnt out, and frankly...there's nobody that I like right now for scum. So no, I haven't given up. But I'm convinced that the remaining scum has just hidden himself well, either through creative bussing or some kind of sneaky ability, and they're now entrenched enough that we're stuck having them be part of the lavos fight. Apart from kita, no single player frightens me that much right now, and so I don't think that a single scum player will be a problem. But I don't have a scumread right now. So...my defense is already in thread, same as it was yesterday. Just this cycle the defense is "I'm not scum" without "I'm not scum and that specific person is." So I'm voting acrofales, as I feel that taking him out before lavos is the best thing to do with this cycle. If I don't have a clue who the remaining scum is, I'd rather take out 3P than a townie. There is nobody left who can be scum. Pretty much everybody else is ruled out by mechanics. Updated my list from last cycle: On December 07 2012 21:49 Acrofales wrote: Anyway, lets go through the list of alive players again. Syllo - was in the tent, successful party and nailed Sandro and SnB TC - nailed Toad when there was no reason for it from a scum perspective. Overall townie filter GK - was in the tent, all scum tried to get him killed (except risk) Prom - was shot by SnB, abilities pan out Oats - was shot by SnB, was on a successful party, abilities pan out Iamperfection - has been healing townies all game. Claims check out. Kita - scum seems too weird. Could be 3P with a good fakeclaim. However, town for now. Hapa - Syllo roleblocked him last night and he went nowhere. Forgot to send in abilities. Also filter is moderately townie. Negative points for weird claim and being in quite a number of claim controversies. H1 - filter-based I say town. Ability is consistent and makes sense lore-wise. However, his targets have not been verified. Damage on Drazerk is outright missing. Cannot verify damage on Toad. Only confirmed shot is Hapa. Adam - same story. Zbo/austin - claim is not making sense so far. Null filter. Elimination game makes him scum. With Phagga dead that leaves Adam, H1 and Hapa as possible scum. I agree, however, with austin when he says that it is really hard to see one of them as scum. Their filters read moderately townie. However, if austin is town, then he KNOWS one of them must be scum. Rather than figuring out which one, he decides to take the easy way out: lynch the 3rd party. There is a good chance town is not opposed to lynching 3P if they cannot find scum, so I am the lynch by default if austin can worm himself out of the lynch. Why? Because scummcc knows that any case he makes against Hapa, H1 or Adam will be unconvincing. If austin really was town, he would be looking for scum, not trying to lynch 3P. As an aside and a minor bonus point: On December 09 2012 07:26 austinmcc wrote: EXHIBIT 1: holy Roman. This isn't a caller game, but not knowing anything about third party has sometimes been bad for town. Huh? In HRM there was no 3rd party, except for iGrok who got himself killed really early on (N1 if I recall correctly, might have been N2). He might have become a threat at some point, but he got killed before any speculation about 3P even started. There were 2 scumteams. Drazerk was scum with a typical scum wincon. So... why are you misrepresenting what happened in an old mafia game to give your argument more force? Is it perhaps because you are afraid you'll need anoter body to throw on the lynch mill, because Phagga WILL flip town? Conclusion: austinmcc does not care about the future, just about avoiding the lynch. austinmcc doesn't care about his abilities, because they were fake. austinmcc does not care about scumhunting, because he cannot find a way to credibly paint one of the remaining townies as scum. In closing, austinmcc is scum. ##Lynch austinmcc ##Epoch 1999 | ||

1. I am in fact 3P (thank you, my role pm agrees with you). 2. Nobody else looks like scum. Therefore we should lynch 3P. Why, when we have obvious scum sitting right in front of us? I will simply repeat myself until the rest of town figures this out: austinmcc has not addressed the fact that he was not looking past preventing himself getting lynched by making a case on the ONLY person who he could possibly get town to switch to. He did not bother figuring out how his role worked, despite calling it scummy when SnB did not do that exact same thing. He cannot explain why the shield on Hapa appears to not have existed. He knows the rest of town has caught him out. He knows any case he makes on anybody else will look forced, because it WILL be forced (they're town after all). His only hope is to lynch the 3P. Now me being a survivor obviously has me with a vested interest in surviving, but even without that, it is clear that austin is scum. He's run out of rocks to hide under and that is about it. He first threw the towel in the ring with his wise men post, but rather than continuing to blazinghand up the thread in hilarious manner, he took the lifeline Oats threw him. Oh, and if you think I will be no help vs. Lavos, my 100 damage is worth 4 cycles of most townies being alive. I think I will more than pay for myself. I don't need your heals, I still have oodles of hitpoints. | ||

His play just feels COMPLETELY different than his scum play in Aperture 2. I don't know what you expect from a town austin, but accusing him for going after the 3rd party is silly. Not that I particularly want to lynch Acro either, but "I think you're scum. Go prove that you aren't by finding scum for us because I'm too lazy and don't feel like looking at anyone except you" is silly. Fine. I'll go and read Aperture 2. However, if you don't think austin is scum, who do you think IS the remaining scum? You know it's not me (or should, because even austin cannot make that case). You can use my handy colored chart to see what abilities confirm whom and work from there, or you can strike out on your own, but we know there is still scum left, or Lavos would've been summoned 2 cycles ago. So if not, austin, you have to find someone else. You cannot just say "austin isn't scum". The game doesn't work that way. | ||

At some point, he claimed his win condition hadn't been met yet and I believe Toad was dead by that point, but a 38 page filter is impossible to search through. I wonder if the all function goes away on a 50 page filter :p That is correct. I lied, because I didn't want my wincon known, or guessable at that point yet. I have a hard time believing that the Magus boss battle had absolutely nothing to do with his character. Perhaps he was recruited based upon the outcome of the event? Either way, I think he should be roleblocked into oblivion. His 100 damage doesn't help much if it is aimed at one of us, while jailing our damage output in the process. Once we lose the lynch, we have no way to punish his actions since all kp will be aimed at lavos. Insofar as I know, the Magus boss battle had absolutely nothing to do with my role. My role pm at least mentions nothing about it. I gave arguments for what I thought were the best options for town to win the event, based on how the fight goes in the actual game. Syllo should definitely block him just in case. I might also, even if he is claiming that I can't. <snip> You can't tonight. You can tomorrow night and afterwards. I am fine being roleblocked. I don't think I need my heal. I don't particularly NEED to shoot Lavos either. I will, however be aimed at Lavos tomorrow, so Syllo the watcher could confirm that I am targeting Lavos if you really want to be paranoid. Other than that, I have to use Dark Mist tonight (either that, or Black Gemstone, and I prefer Dark Mist right now). | ||

Three quarters of the town is confirmed because they have consistently backed up each other's actions. Not because they have claimed to have taken damage. In other news: I read Hapa's filter and find he actually looks townier than last time I checked. The only possible way I can see him being scum after going nuts at phagga last cycle, is if he is scum together with austin. In that case, I still prefer to lynch austin first. While austinmcc is making a valliant attempt, he is still scum. | ||

1. If he had been scum with Sandro, he could simply have withheld his scumread on Sandro and laughed their way to the bank on D1. 2. He put together a successful party. We have seen that party with Keirathi and a 3P fails. It seems impossible that Syllo is scum based on the D1 party. 3. He blew risk.nuke's mason chat wide open. If this was a scumplan, it was retarded. 4. He claimed watcher seeing SnB visit someone he shouldn't. Killing yet another scum. With all of this pretty much confirming Syllo as town, his damage claim sounds truthful. NOT the other way round. If you want, I can do this for all the people I marked as green in my list. Could save you about 350 pages of filters before you are forced to conclude that you, in fact, are the final scum. | ||

1. He was on a successful party 2. The whole "low success modifier" was too weird for a fakeclaim when the OP explicitly states that the success modifier was hidden. His reaction at me made sense. 3. He claims he gets abilities from successful parties he's on. By being on the party he was able to jail syllo. Syllo claimed roleblocked and nobody counterclaimed. Other nights he claimed no abilities. Number 3 means that either scum has a roleblocker who only roleblocked once (all other blocks are claimed), or roleblocked people like CJ. There also seems to be less KP on N2 than on N1 or N3, making it likely that scum targeted Syllo while he was jailed. The rest of my town read on Keirathi was based on him not playing like scum. Also, Tata makes absolutely perfect sense for Keirathi's earlier claims. It is a hilarious troll role by Greymist. | ||

Trying to keep myself interested in this game mostly. If that's what you're doing, try to puzzle out whether Adam is scum or not. Weird shit going on with him and austin. | ||

If multiple people hit me in the same cycle, it's split amongst them.
Cycle 6 I shielded Syllo. Didn't know everyone's health values, dienosaur was dead before the end of cycle, and out of the people that were being treated as confirmed town, syllo seemed the strongest player to me. Cycle 7 I didn't do anything. Considered counterattacking Adam, making sure he was responsible for the damage on me like he claimed, but nobody counterclaimed the damage. Adam said he wasn't going to keep shooting me, so I figured best not to hit him. One reason I prefer cycles where a lot of people have items/abilities/something waiting for them is that those are the cycles that are useful. I guess I can use End of Time to check a player's HP or two, make sure they're not lying, but otherwise healing/shielding sounds way more useful than an HP check. Especially given that now it's kind of telegraphed. This is after it could have happened, thus there is no way you could have expected it to happen. You might have found it weird after the fact, but you couldn't have known beforehand that austin was capable of counterattacking unless you are scum. Therefore this is you making a mistake when fabricating what you should have thought at the time, ergo scum. Additionally, the night actions make no sense. N1 - N6 are okay. N7: why guess Iamp when Clarity just took a shitload of damage and you guessed him the night before, while Iamp took 0 damage? N8: austinmcc was nowhere in the picture yet. Why pick austin? N9: if you picked austin on N9 and he died in D10, then you got it right, didn't you? N10: phagga died at the end of D9, why on EARTH would you guess phagga on N10? It is completely senseless. Oh, and I didn't find this. Syllo gets full credit for wondering how weirdly illogical your night guesses were. I just assumed you could shoot and guess on the same night, and you hadn't claimed your N10 action. Thanks for explaining and claiming scum not thinking his claim through. You get to join the illustrious company of risk, austin and SnB. | ||

Assuming I don't get roleblocked and Toad has no healing shenanigans, and assuming Toad was revived with full health, I need 125 damage from town to kill Toad next cycle. However, let me argue for Syllo's proposal of damaging Toad tonight. Town will be doing 475 or 500 damage to Lavos, depending on whether Adam (or someone else) is scum or not, without even using any abilities. That means town has to deal 150 damage to Lavos in addition to the damage that will be heading his way regardless. 1. I will be doing 75 damage to Lavos tonight, because Dark Matter is my only nuke other than Black Hole (and it takes 3 targets: Toad, Lavos and myself). 2. H1 will be able to do 400 damage to Lavos tomorrow 3. Kita can Luminaire, whatever that does 4. Hapa can shoot for 100. 5. Syllo can do 150 damage. That means Syllo and H1 alone can take out Lavos, I am going to assume Kita can too. Hapa and I together can take out Lavos. Furthermore, if Toad dies, I can aim all my damage at Lavos, 100 of which is guaranteed to hit regardless of roleblocks. Given all of this, I don't think it's possible to miss out on killing Lavos tomorrow regardless of what we do today, however it is very possible to miss out on killing Toad tomorrow if we don't aim at him today. All it takes is one unfortunate roleblock. So please help me 125 damage means I can take out Toad if I don't get roleblocked ever. 325 damage means I can take out Toad if I get roleblocked tomorrow, but not today. Therefore if town can help me with 325 damage I will know tomorrow whether I can guarantee a Toad kill. Once again, assuming Toad was revived at full health and there are no healing shenanigans.If Toad did not respawn at full health, there's a chance he will die tonight, allowing me to aim all my damage at Lavos together with you guys. | ||

Okay, I guess this makes sense. Your guesses still seem rather strange. Why never guess CaveJohnson, when it was clear the world was gunning for him? How come you predicted austin and phagga, as if you knew there were 4 lynches in a row? If you were gambling on lynches, why not risk.nuke in that first one? But I guess suboptimal play doesn't make you scum and even if we assume you were scum, and you didn't shoot Zbo, I still cannot explain why Zbo didn't counterattack Oats. So whichever way we spin that, the lack of counterattack is weirder on Zbo's side than on yours. Also, there seems to be damage missing on Lavos, so that makes Hapa more likely scum. | ||

On D4 there WAS no lynch, it was a party selection and Toad survived the whole cycle, to be lynched in cycle 5. Therefore, you CANNOT have gotten a shot in cycle 4. Nor do you claim the shot in cycle 4, but rather in cycle 5. Cycle 5 started December 1, 08:59 forumtime You claimed the shot on December 1, 12:27 forumtime Also, there is no way Greymist accepts conditional actions or makes roles that require you to send in conditional actions. | ||

Anyway, I agree that your explanation of the role is giving me a headache. You're either scum making a brainteaser out of your fakeclaim or town with an impossibly convoluted role. I give up trying to figure out which and am focusing on Hapa. He seems to be the crux of the missing damage on Lavos. | ||

For the record: this is not damage that would otherwise hit Lavos or Toad. I have to choose 3 targets. Was planning on shooting myself, but if I can put the damage to good use, I might as well shoot you instead. | ||

13 alive. maximum 11 town. If nobody else is scum, then that makes it 475 damage, plus 400 from syllo and kita. 25 damage missing cannot be explained in any way claimed. 1 extra scum: 450 + 400 from syllo and kita. 50 damage can be explained in two different ways. First is that oats sent in a night action before going on holiday and punched for 50. However, that means Hapa didn't shoot, because he claimed not being roleblocked. Only reason I can think of for Hapa not to shoot is if he's scum. 2 extra scum: 425 + 400 from syllo and kita. 75 damage is weird and can only be explained if kita did not count as a target for syllo's ability, or Hapa lied about the 3rd level of his flamethrower. Either way, Hapa's shot is missing, unless there are 3 scum in addition to Toad, which seems outrageous. The alternative is that Kita or Syllo is lying. Out of the two, Kita lying seems more likely, but I happen to believe them both. Kita's claim of being Crono at least is true. Luminaire was cast. The rest just seems to line up too. That leaves Hapahascummy. | ||

However, Syllo was untargettable due to your seed shield and Kita was untargettable because of Syllo. So someone magically did 75 damage to Lavos if Hapa is scum. Hapa simply forgetting to flamethrower or a host error on Lavos damage is also possible. | ||

An alternative is that there is some hidden healing mechanic for Lavos based on the number of scum alive. We know Toad couldn't use the Mammon machine because both me and Kita roleblocked the shit out of him, but that doesn't mean there isn't some hidden mechanic that town wasn't told about. | ||

Now that the plan to bus Toad is detailed, it was actually a really good idea. But the scumteam at least got TC pretty much confirmed town between the two checks. It never occurred to me that this was a scum taking a completely mad gamble at a 2 for 1 trade, which converted him into confirmed town when he hit a 3P, lol. However, Risen, in general, played a rather excellent game. I, and some others, attacked him pretty heavily in D2 over his completely inconsistent play in D1 and rather than trying to talk it right he just made the scenario ever crazier until I gave up in disgust and wrote him off for figuring out at a later date. While Kita said that the check could have been used to lynch a townie, then Toad, Toad was looking absolutely terrible by the end of D2 and imho even an H1 vs. Toad case (H1 was also looking bad around D3) would probably have ended up in a straight-up Toad lynch. Oh, and my rolecheck would have swung it, but that could not have been known at the time. Also, near the endgame when TC started crazy speculation about my wincon and I called him a complete idiot, I'm glad to hear he was actually playing towards his wincon and helping his scumbuddy survive, rather than being an actual idiot. The rest of the scumteam seemed pretty lost. I think SnB sums it up quite well in the QT: we should've killed syllo though we really had no idea what we were doing this game greymist i'm sorry i solemnly swear that next time i play in a game of yours i will truly give it my all Toad respawning at the end really pissed me off. I thought I had played rather well and was going to see it all screwed up by having a bajillion townies alive doing damage to Lavos way faster than I could kill Toad. Him being at 500 HP made that doable. Also, I was totally OP at the end, lol. 200 damage per night and additionally a choice out of a 100 damage + roleblock, a 500 heal or 75 damage to 3 targets. Anyway, my plan was to play my normal town self, but it got screwed up slightly when people wanted me in a party and completely utterly bumfucked when Chronicler claimed the DT check. Took a bit of thinking what I was going to claim. I was thinking of claiming Masa & Mune the third party role that had to kill Magus, but was unsure I could keep that up til endgame, so I just claimed my alignment to save my ass. Damned lucky I did so before getting randomed onto a party. That would have been my death if I hadn't claimed, lol. The rest of the game I was pretty much forced into overdrive activity, because most townies could get semi-confirmed with their roles or being on a party, while I would always be a possible lynch unless there was someone who most of town was convinced was scum. Scum can gain some town credit by pushing a 3P lynch, while uncertain townies can lynch a 3P when uncertain about who is scum, so I had to be extra active and scumhunt like crazy to save my ass from townies who might want to lynch me. I'm glad to hear that almost all of the people who brought it up were scum. Thanks again to Greymist and Mementoss for this game | ||

Well, I wasn't ON the sandro lynch to start with, but your case really didn't matter much. Sandroba was scum because Syllo said he was. Everything else is pretty circumstantial when compared to two players who know each other so well. It was a tough break for Sandro to be scum with Syllo on town. The reverse would also have been true, as Syllo is also much better as town than as scum and Sandro would see through it in a similar manner. I'll go back and read your case, but at the time I thought it was bringing up things that weren't indicative of scum and dismissed it, although I did give you a tick for townie for pushing so hard. | ||

I was hoping to get a little cred from not shooting you later on, but just didn't do enough with it and I think maybe chose a bad target with my faked action claims. Not sure if the outcome would have been different had I given better targets though. Would probably have been better to claim a heal on someone who had claimed no damage up to that point. The shield stuck around and it was therefore weird when damage didn't add up. A heal at full HP would go unnoticed. However, substituting in, I don't blame you for missing that little bit when people kicked up a shitstorm about Hapa not claiming healed. Other than that, I was actually quite scared you'd actually convince town to switch onto me. I was pretty sure you were scum, but I was 3P so my case might not have been trusted and you somehow managed to convince town off yourself and onto phagga the day before when I was away at the beach. I gave Risen credit for his scumplay, but you deserve a hand as well. You went down fighting tooth and nail and that ##self-destruct had me pretty scared for the hour before the resolution. | ||

Luckily my new abiities were completely OP and Toad with 500 HP was killable in 2 cycles (assuming no roleblocks), even without town help. However, what would've been way worse is if town didn't trust me and kept me roleblocked, so in hindsight, even with Toad respawning and Lavos dying faster being bad, my assistance to town also ensured that I would at least not get roleblocked by town and just had to deal with Lavos' random roleblocks. | ||

Funny to see that my initial town read on TC was 100% wrong (I did recant it pretty quickly, but still). Lesson for the future: scum come up with dumb plans just to look townie and know when to retract them when they get called derps for it. | ||

Town (and everybody) had so little information that we assumed a straightforward system, while the actual system was way more convoluted. This assumption turned out to work really well, but could equally well have screwed town over monumentously. Assume for a second that Sandro or Toad managed to form the party and took 3 townies along. That person does not get lynched the next day and is in a good position to be in the party again. This party is FORCED to take 2 unconfirmed townies along. These will probably BOTH get lynched before the whole system is exposed. One thing scum should really have payed more attention to was the bit in the OP where it said that failing a party would be extremely bad for town. Nowhere is this mentioned in your QT that you should make a combined effort to get into a party. A push to really be included in the first party could have done SO much for you. However, not a single scummer even tried to look townie in D1: Sandro started off well, but went afk and never came back. Toad derped around. SnB was away. risk.nuke never manages to make himself look excessively townie (just in his meta to be fairly unreadable until later in the game). Zbo started okay, but never more than that. TC started really well, but let it slip until at the end of the day he was actually a scumspect. BioSC was lurking. Using the 7 members to make a strong push for 1 player being REALLY townie and getting included on the party would have set scum up for about 5 cycles worth of town chaos. Also, you say you didn't have enough KP, but I honestly think that is false. SnB had 250 to claimers, in addition to his 20% HP destroyer. Sandro had 200 over time, VE had quite a lot of conditional, Toad had 100, risk had 150 conditional and you yourself had some random KP. Add 200 factional KP and by making directed use of your KP to kill off healers and other protective roles (or in the beginning just focusing on strong town characters like Marv, Syllo or Kita), you could have killed off far more than 7 players at night. Hell, as it is 6 townies died and that was while severely derping up the KP. The way the game played out it looks like a landslide victory for town that scum was incapable of stopping, but with better D1 play (taking advantage of the sheer number of scummers) and more coordinated night actions, it could absolutely have been possible to hit Lavos in a very advantageous position. | ||

Some roles may have been a tad overpowered. Greymist already mentioned Syllo's role. Clarity's role was pretty damned OP too. Prom's mass roleblock, once coordinated was also damned strong. However, I don't think the setup was inherently unbalanced. In completely other news, I have figured out all the night result puzzles! Weird DoT: scum going derpaderp with their KP Missing damage to Lavos: host error, Syllo's boulder toss didn't get counted. Unexplained 75 damages: Hapa throwing flame throwers around like it's no big thing. Everything related to Drazerk: Drazerk lying his ass off. Except for the roleblock. Guess a fizzled roleblock didn't need explaining, whereas it definitely did need explaining why I couldn't chat to Drazerk | ||

Scum gets elected to party leader and takes 3 townies. In contrast to expectations, party succeeds. Mislynch into any of the town candidates for running for leader. Particularly if it was contested, the other candidate is batantly scum, together with anybody who voted for him. So at the end of D2 you have "confirmed town" and a mislynch. D3 party: get your scum leader into the party. This time the party fails (because harder to succeed). D4 party: push for a party with none of the D3 candidates. Get the OTHER 2 D1 candidates and 2 random townies. Party success is irrelevant. If failure, that is fucking fantastic, if success, then /shrug, you aready have lynch candidates. D5: mislynch random townie invited into D3 party. D6: event. Given how terribad we were at the event, you can expect some deaths and lots of fail, regardless of what scum does. D7: mislynch the OTHER random townie invited into D3 party. By now you have mislynched 3/3 townies, had townies take a bunch of damage from failed events and hopefully shot some of the claimed healers and/or stronger townies dead by focus firing the KP. Iamperfection could have died from faction KP alone by the end of N3. Using abilities and scum KP, you could have had Marv AND Iamperfection dead. Prom should also be dead by this time. Syllo and Clarity are the dangers. Roleblock Syllo and focus clarity down with scum KP and Mammon Machine by N6. Random 250 damage flying around at people who nameclaimed, risk is chipping away at people in his mason channel and TC is flinging random damage at random people. Additionally you have H1 shooting townies, Adam trying to shoot townies. By the end of D7 you have 10 dead townies. Of the good players maybe Syllo is still hanging on and Kita is probably alive. I might be alive too, but I am nothing to fear. D8-10 you will probably lose a scum or two to lynches. Bus the crap out of Toad. In the meantime clean up Syllo and Kita. Town is now left with no strong abilities and no clear leaders. Maybe Hapa or Keirathi can rally, the town, but honestly, they should be firmly in some scum player's hand. By this time I have thrown in my lot with scum, except that I still want to kill Toad. You hit Lavos with no strong abilities, 6/7 scum alive and town down to about 6 people as well, all already taken some damage and no healers. Lavos takes 350 damage (plus 100-200 from abiities) the first day and that decreases as town dies out slowly from scum damage and Lavos damage. Even better if you can somehow convince the little bit of town damage still left to try to kill scum, rather than Lavos. When Toad is dead, Acro starts kiling townies to get the game over as fast as possibe. GG? | ||

Now I'm not sure that makes the game balanced. It seems hard for either team to make a comeback if they get off to a bad start based on (in hindsight) terrible assumptions. Maybe more information was required to make the whole "confirmed" status from being in a successful party less sure. However, I don't know enough about balancing games, and have had too much to drink to comment on that stuff. However, I do strongly feel that scum could have won the game if they had shown more than 0.0 initiative since the start of D1. | ||
