Ugh, this game is making my head hurt. There are both towny and scummy traits in almost every filter. What worries me most about Lazermonkey is his lack of presence in the thread (I can't even remember his stance on ANYTHING from the top of my head). But looking at his filter again, I agree with many things he says and I don't get the feeling he's playing scummy WHEN he's playing. Then I looked at DYH's reasoning for voting Lazermonkey and I agree that Lazermonkey is the best Mafia candidate of those who voted DP to be lynched (especially since Lazermonkey's vote was such a weird OMGUS vote out of thin air). I'd really like other people's opinions on Lazermonkey right now.

Lazer might have OMGUS voted DP, but that's at least SOMETHING. Zealos was a non-factor day 1 and day 2.

Here's the problem I run into: ShiaoPi is no pillar of townieness
But, WBG has his vote on him. WBG used bad reasoning (picked out one thing VE did in VE's whole filter and said "yeah this is the main reason why ShiaoPi is scum". I'm pretty sure WBG is scum and his reasoning for voting ShiaoPi doesn't make sense
Could be:
scum voting scum
town voting scum
scum voting town
town voting town
I doubt it's option number 1 at this point. And I don't see number 4 as likely
So it leaves me with the middle two
So, that means that ShiaoPi is town in my eyes right now based off the fact I believe WBG is scum

I thought BH had his vote on WBG

Ok, after filtering VE and WBG for myself, I've come to a few conclusions. Please give these things a fair trial. Look at them as objectively as you can, and filter them for yourself if you don't want to take my word for it.
I think I was wrong about Keirathi. VE's talking towards Ace sounds exactly like buddying. I don't see VE and Ace being on a scumteam together.
I'm even more confident in my read of Lazer.

Hi everyone, looking forward to an active game. It's nice to recognize many of the names on the playerlist even though I haven't played in a while.
I'm happy to see Marv/BH/VE in here. With those 3 there is no reason the thread should be inactive.
I'm perhaps overly cautious of Ace. His reputation obviously precedes him. Never having played with him paired with the knowledge that he can be a devastatingly effective scum leader makes me a little paranoid.
As always, I am in favor of lurker lynching on day1 unless a better candidate shows up (which it inevitably will). DoYouHas Why are you trying to paint such a picture on ace? Sure, he is a forefather of TL Mafia, and I'm sure all of us are aware of his ability. But why try to focus on his scumplay so much over his town play? As I recall, he is also a pretty darn good town player. Stating how you are overly cautious of him (implying somewhat to others that they should also be) just because he's a good mafia player doesn't seem like something a townie would do Because it does the dual job of accurately explaining my feelings towards him to start the game and hopefully stirring up a little fear towards him so that people don't sheep him quite as readily. If he ends up taking a town leader role, I want him to earn it instead of being ushered into it on his reputation. That doesn't make any sense. I'm not going to sheep someone cuz of their reputation. I'm going to sheep if their case 1) makes sense 2) is good 3) I believe they are town If he takes a town leader position, it'll be because of those things. Not because of his reputation ##Unvote
##Vote DoYouHas Just because debears himself won't sheep someone on reputation doesn't mean people don't, and it doesn't make it inherently scummy to think that people do. I can find various instances of townies basically just sheeping me (e.g. Clarity, iamperfection) To be frank, I do think almost everyone are more willingly to sheep players who are considered to be stronger rather than newbies even if they deny it. At least to some extent. I think it's a part of your subconscious. Truth. Something to do with pack mentality, wanting to fit in, etc. etc. Reading what I've missed y'all, hopefully there's more than discussing whether or not people are going to sheep Ace. :/ On December 01 2012 10:40 VisceraEyes wrote:

There's nothing wrong with it. only 4 posts in day 1 though....none of quality :/ Depends on your definition of quality. His observation of Lazer was pretty accurate, if a little hypocritical. However, town and scum are hypocritical in equal measure, so that's pretty null imo.
For reference, that third quote is Ace responding to what he thinks about WBG's play.
-First quote. A complete nothing interaction. Null to scummy.
-Second quote. Shows he was already paying close attention to the early pressure WBG put on Lazer. Also, VE is making an excuse for not properly looking into Lazer up until this point. Where was the pressure for him to do this? (In his own head, because Lazer is scum.)
-Third quote. Without ever looking to push, explain, or analyze Lazer, VE comes out saying that WBG was pretty accurate in his observations about Lazer. Those observations were ~3 negative points ending in a vote. VE agrees with Bugs that Lazer has been acting scummy, but what does he do then? Nothing. Scum do not simply allow scummy looking town to be left alone. They push them to make it seem like they are scum hunting, they defend them to show that they are right if that person flips later. VE's 3rd post is distancing, plain and simple, there is no other explanation.
I do not like a WBG lynch anymore. The interactions between WBG and VE give me far more of a town read than a scum read. You can get some of that from when bugs is mentioned in my case on Lazer above, more if you read VE's filter. Also there are Bugs' original questions:
On November 30 2012 12:23 wherebugsgo wrote:
Questions:
Why is Blazinghand so useless?
Why has VE not complained about the lack of scumhunting?
Why did Lazermonkey find the need to vote Ace before telling us all he'd be on later?
Why does Xatalos seem scummy but has received the most attention, but not that many votes?
I find myself questioning a lot in this game.
In his first post Bugs is calling out both VE and Lazer, and later he votes Lazer with pretty good reasoning.
I hope I have finally convinced you of Lazer's guilt. And if you grant me that, it is very unlikely for a scum to use his first post to call out 2 of his teammates, and then follow through with a case on one of them.

I have to go out quickly so I'ma post my thoughts early:
Sandroba's Town List for dummies (TM):
WBG - marvelosity = both too emo ragers for it to be fake. I can't see the genuine asshole behavior being faked here and there is no scum motivation for it. I would seriously like to lynch marv for being an assface jerk, but unfortunately I can't convince myself he is scum.
Xatalos - LOL this guy is so townie I don't understand how you baddies manage to bandwagon him day 1. 'Nuff said.
DYH - I really thought this guy was scum for his retard case on xatalos before I read the last 30 pages. However that last minute claim looks really good so I'm putting him as town. Hopefully he can get confirmed by shooting into scummers tonight. Assuming scum have 1 rb (can't really imagine them having 2) either him or marv should get their actions through.
Scummers :
Zealos, BlazingHand are scum. I don't think I need to explain why for BH. Read Zealos oportunistic jump on xata wagon. That post has scum written all over it.
People that I'm unsure but leaning scum:
VE - who you might ask? Yes this dude is playing in this game. I bet you didn't know either. Kei/Ace - Meh ace is a hard one for me to figure out. I thought he was scum when I was obsing because of his "Oh this is interesting" comment, but I'm liking kei a bit more. This BH case seems very convinient though.

I refuse to defend myself against the ignorant uninformed opinion of a bunch of riotters. This is no way to play mafia. You have to look at the intricacies and not follow the mob rule that is usually driven by scum. I leave you sheep to your fate.
My reads so far is that ET austin hiro and kush are town. I honestly don't know anymore about ON cuz I would expect him to try to at least keep apearances as scum.
This djodref is either very dumb or scum. You would never as town (and inteligent) feel that a person that is standing up to you against the majority trying to lynch would be scum. Prpl and mementos are prob scum.
That was from Looney, where he was town. Go look through the rest of his filter. It feels pretty similar to what he's said/done so far this game.

What is even there to talk about? Over the time I've been playing mafia I grew more and more away from hard analysis and began to use apparent integrity and sincerity of people's post as a way to tell scum and town appart. That means that the way I do it is completely subjective to what I consider to be a post (from the particular person I'm looking at) to be honest. Of course the method is not flawless and is completely dependant on my ability to make that judgement, but it served me right in the past and I see no reason to change it. From that place you can see clearly that any explanation I provide you with for my reasoning wouldn't apply to everyone and is not verifyable. What you can do is check for the same things I do. The motives and truthfulness behind my posts and see if you think I'm trying to put on a show or I'm speaking my mind without the fear of consequence. If you can make that distinction then you will have a good idea of my alignment.
The stupid exercise of breaking posts apart and endelessly saying things are "scummy" without even defining and not even knowing what scummy means is what brings this tiresome conversation that I refuse to take part of where everyone indulges each other and strikes each other's dicks.

Well sucks to be in me in my timezone, but there is only so much you can do if nobody is around for the time you are.

I don't have to convince on the fact that I think you are you are scum tho so I will leave it at that.
Still think your reasons for pushing BH are weak.
Okay please tell me why you are going after Keir then. Because when I read your post where you voted Keir, your reasons were IMO some WFIOM that wasn't alignment indicative followed up with you saying his reasons to vote BH was weak.
Keir I haven't looked too much into. But based on the fact that no scum with their right in mind would ever push BH at this point I'm leaning town on him.
Regarding WBG, I really liked the case of debeas. And I quite dislike WBG response to everyone, which was basically everyone who agree with this are retards. I don't have anything to add to the case on him but he is a strong scum read atm and I'm 100% willing to vote him atm.

DYH: Your case against me is based on the assumption that scum would split their votes and other players, mainly VEs interactions with me. Without these assuomtions, your case falls.
