Here's me responding, noting the same thing, that newbie guides keep talking about hiding behind newness as a scum trait.
I also have no idea why, if DI's actions didn't make sense as scum, you'd vote him, say he was scummy as shit, and maintain that point of view.

Given my most recent post on dabears Xata, are some of your suspicions assuaged?
Dabears, meta isn't about people making specific posts as specific alignments, that shit is so fucking easy to fake.
How about YOU read up on meta and then come and talk to me about it.

Dandel Ion (now DI) said he'd be gone because it's Friday. So we're waiting for a response from someone who explicitly said he wouldn't be here. While it may partially ruin debears' ability to confirm whether DI is doing whatever debears thinks DI is doing, I'm more interested in debears right now than what DI may or may not have been doing yesterday. I'd rather debears explain what he's thinking, not drag his heels and have more time to respond, and be up front about his thoughts. DI can confirm later or not. Very well. My thought process Dandel said he's noob in vet game Town - Refer to Djo's first game if you know what I mean Scum - Wants town to ignore him Ok, so I thought of this: Dandel is a newish player to TL Mafia. Newish players usually read the guides. My whole "saying your noob" read is from Ver's XXX analysis. Which, thinking back, almost everyone I've played with is familiar with it On November 30 2012 11:08 marvellosity wrote:On November 30 2012 11:01 austinmcc wrote:

Simply untrue. Scum have plenty to gain by being ignored. Just take a gander in Ver's guide for an example (Misder possibly) So, I was thinking, with Dandel being a new player, and most likely reading the guide, why would he do that as scum? Most of us would pick up on it. It'd be dumb Also, based on that, it would put him in the spotlight (even if it is just mine) See why I asked and wanted to wait? Thanks guys the point is, debears, this 'town' explanation only appeared later and was not present in your mind at the time that you voted for DYH over Dandel. At the time you said there was zero town motivation and yet you moved your vote off him for spurious Ace-related reasons.
Cuz I felt like DYH scummier. I'm sorry scumreads don't come in exact percentages and that they don't stay consistent. They're feel marv. You know that. I felt DYH = scummier, so I voted for him. Enough said

So he makes a statement "why are you trying to stop me", which to me gives off the feeling that he believes lazer is scum. Then, in the next post he does a 180, and disengages "have fun tunneling further", which to me gives off the feel that he finds lazer townie.
If he believed lazer was possibly scum trying to stop questioning, he would keep pursuing it. If he thought not, then he would disengage.
I just don't see how he went from post 1 to post 2 in 50 minutes

The whole exchange between dabears and DYH is ridiculous in my opinion. People don't SHEEP Ace because he's known almost exclusively for his SCUM play. I've seen him really fucking own as town, but people don't know or care about that. Ace is known as a top-tier SCUM player, and so that's the image Ace conjures. The fact that dabears is all up in arms about DYH "discrediting" Ace is nonsense...not only had Ace barely posted anything at the time, but DYH explained his motivation TWICE and dabears still didn't relent, or verily even acknowledge said explanations.

Hmm... How does it "ring scumbells" that debears made a far-fetched analysis about marvellosity? I just don't see the Mafia motive in that. I don't know why debears's persistence to pressure DYH is a Mafia motive either. All of this might not be optimal play, but I don't see any grand Mafia motive behind debears's play.

Xata - Let me get this straight. You've made a case on me which you immediately stopped pursuing (yet your vote is still there I would mention). You've made a case on VE without a vote or a real conclusion and you also look like you are going to drop this one as well with a parting, "I'm watching you, boy". You have given 3 townreads which are the easiest thing in the world to change your mind on. I'm finding it hard to know where you stand or what you are actually trying to do.
What bothers me the most, what I am hung up on, and what I just can't seem to drop is your response to BH's vote and then your response to my vote.

I have already pointed out how Xata's response to BH's vote is classic avoidance behavior. Town tends to get mad when someone votes them, they tend to deny, they tend to confront their accuser.

Then comes Xata's response to my vote: "Maybe I underestimated the usefulness of these fluff posts." AGAIN, he avoids the confrontation, he avoids saying that I am wrong.

Saying "X is town because I like his posting", for instance, not beneficial. You're follow up explaining why was good though. That's the important part Hmm, I guess so.

Many of you seem to have stopped suspecting Xata because he is accepting your coaching, or because he is starting to participate more and you are uncomfortable lynching an active poster. Xatalos is certainly not a passive mafia player (Newbie Mini XV filter).
We are allowing Xata to take up a position where he is excused from multiple bad plays, suspicious behavior, and weak cases simply because some of you think he is a noob that needs to be coached instead of scum that needs to be lynched.
You are wrong, I'm fairly confident I've found scum.

Zealos, half of your filter consists of soft defending some guys without actually saying they are town. The other half is basically you trolling in the start of the game. Who are you in fact suspicious of?

Ace - You say, "Let's get this show on the road", yet your vote on Marv without explanation isn't getting anyone to agree with you. Do you have any intention of providing an explanation? It is almost halfway through day1 and you have yet to post anything substantial. Why should I vote marv over Xatalos, who I think I have a much better case against?

At the moment I don't have a strong lynch candidate. That being the case, I haven't touched my vote for some time. You're right that it's still for you, but right now I would rather lynch VisceraEyes. Especially comparing your and his recent posts I'd say VisceraEyes is more likely Mafia. VE's vote for debears was the most bandwagony (= scummy) vote so far, but this case you present against me doesn't strike me as a Mafia play. Since my vote is clearly bothering you, I can change it immediately.
##Unvote
##Vote VisceraEyes
"Heheh.. What ever should I do. Clearly I've been found out!"
Really... This is a big problem for you? Blazinghand's vote for me was clearly a troll and I responded to it with a troll post. I would normally have just ignored it, but the thread was full of trolling - I decided to make one joke post as well. I can't see at all why you would tunnel on a meaningless joke and base your suspicions around that. What should I say to you? There's no reasoning behind that post. You could just remove it from the thread (BH's votepost as well, in truth) and nothing of any importance would change. I didn't "avoid confrontation" by not responding to your "Well that is a suspicious way of responding to BH's vote". To be honest, I didn't even know if you were being serious. I hope that matter is now put into rest, since it's just a big waste of time arguing about it.
I guess you're right about the part where I call you "bandwagony". I just looked at it this way:
1) Player A votes for me
2) Player B eagerly votes for me soon after without a real reason
That just made me automatically think bandwagoning=scummy=lynch? But really, it's more a case of misunderstandings on both ends. You started suspecting me after that stupid post (for some reason) and I started suspecting you of bandwagoning (even though BH never even tried to get me lynched and it was only you who pursued my suspiciousness). So it's safe to say that you're no bandwagoner...
I think it was wrong to call you "half-hearted" as well. It's starting to feel more like you're *overzealous* over something as petty as a troll one-liner. I have no idea how it got to the point where I'm confidently scum in your mind, but if this response didn't appease your zeal, I'm not sure what to think. Could Mafia really be so persistent and careless? I have some difficulty imagining that right now. I find it much more likely that Mafia would carefully wait for opportunities rather than push the discussion to a certain direction persistently.
