I have played in no TL games. I watched XXXI from outside of obs in real time.
Which I found instructive.
I have not played any other mafia anywhere. Although last night i had dream and I think I once did talk about mafia 20 years ago but I dont really remember.

Ok that looks liek queestion I need to answer.

The answer is in the story above.

Everybody is intially suspicious until shown otherwise by evidence of intention.
If i was hunting scum and i am I could answer promptly.

The evidence is in addressing the question and not looking for the other bits of fluff to use as distraction.
yes i was asked many questions some of them repeats. Some of them no longer important if someone is finding
it hard to say how they feel on the lurker lynch question.

Thats why I sat there hanging in the silence waiting to post.

Scum play is focussing on emotions saying that you are going to chase your top scum reads as was said a while ago then nothing happens.

Scum say they will deliver say they will deliver then never do.
Scum often tend to distance themselves from one another by one arriving early and the other late.
By sitting outside a discussion watching and jumping in and deflecting the heat if their partner is under pressure,
They do that by raising some issue that is clearly less important.
Than letting someone else apply pressure.

Not to badger you, but do you have thoughts on lurker lynching? Or any ideas about day 1 town plans?


The bit you quoted does not seem entirely related to the question asked which I find strange.

Every one starts off equally scummy.
As inconsistencies and evidence mounts for a likely lynch candidate it get more and more scummy.
Lurking longer and longer does too.
Often if town plays town well enough pressure mounts and enough evidence mounts to lynch someone who has posted lot of inconsistent information.

Something i dont know is, if the better players can just push a weaker player into going all mixed up.
This is where town comes in, I must trust the players who are better than me to watch one another,
They will catch when the other ones are just cracking the weakest link, no matter what alignment they are.
Indeed there are so many questions, int hat regard that I don't actually see the best way forward for me.
There appear to be some rather a large gaps in skill level.

Sorry i am jacked with this interface I am going back to news net inline quoting style.

>Axle, I think what I said to you in last NMM QT is starting to make sense now.
I am not sure which bit cos I said a few things
But I don't remember what most of them were anymore,
If I had been aware, that this game would not have variable numbers of roles
This one always has two of something, making the analysis a LYLO more defined
if I had been aware of that I would have had no need to say anything about oats style
as it would have had solution when claim meant clear certainty to everyone.

I had assumed the next game would be the same setup... and yeah i might have made
someone cry if I got back there to D2. I didn't want that kind of storm in a newb game.
So I did it somewhere the adults could smack us.
I had read he was significantly better than he showed right from the start.
I had read that so Ok on D2 he will be able to say what he saw D1
When he didnt, have anything I was like WTF man.
don't want to look back, at that game Ok. Its not helping / stop playing scum on me / <rage = off>

In the last NMM QT, I was not in it until after the aqua lynch.
Before that I was watching, and working stuff out. But as it happened over days not Hours.
Bit of a difference.

I think my biggest lesson learned is trying to go fast with the conversation is bad plan.
My contribution to a good team which is what there was here is not to ask the questions
but listen to the answers.

> Shit's a lot more real in game.
I was real close to in game last time.
Actually shit is pretty real not if you sit in obs but watch it real time.


> However, you DID make good reads last game (without even reading the QT until later, right?)
> so keep that in mind and just focus on that.
Thanks for that
I didn't do real bad in what I >>>read<<< here, just crap at what I wrote.

I probably also had shit storm guilt as I felt what was going down here was on my head.
I hope you enjoyed getting incinerated.

> This will help town because:
> 1. If you're town, your reads are good or
Even at speed they were still pretty good, it is the writing that isn't.

> 2. If you're scum, town gets to read your original thoughts rather than you just playing the newbie card and sheeping.
original thoughts <<< Those I am rarely short of.

So someone well tell me what i ought do next yeah?

Please explain.

So you are gonna ignore yamato's vote?
Do you have a town/scum read on yamato?


If this is not answering your question, would you please distinguish between you wanting to know about me
and you wanting them to know what I saw. or both?

I have clearly transgressed a serious line. I dont know where it is.


I am town.
Yes I will ignore the vote.
What I would not have ignored is valid argument with substance.
It did not need vote just an argument.

For instance, towards the goal of town winning, there was no important need to say I was less skilled than other people they can see that.
If they cant see that [b]for themselves[\b], I am dead anyway, me saying it and them not believing it just makes me more so, So I am unconcerned as there is not positive step i can make, go team.

I had very strong scum read on Yammoto
it started when he didnt answer for a long long time at 10:13 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17124632
at 10:29 I decide to add more pressure,
As I expect another newb game to be more like the last one
and I was aware there would be tension, that needed relieving,
I had spent time making a pleasant I thought post.
I probably should have deleted that content and posted the The question at the bottom
In fact i definitely should have as it added opportunities to distract.

At this minute I am a bit second guessing myself, as i don't know what I look like from the outside when pressed in this thread. I suspect I still look, just startled town. When I settle down completely will be able to see that dispationately and say.

==============

The reason that is an issue is I don't belong in newb and I don't belong in any other game so I am
Perhaps I ought consider a slower forum with N day cylces.

In terms of where i fit. I am fairly sure I am square peg. My estimation is I don't belong in another newb game.
Id have to practice a fair bit making reads on other games and typing them out sensibly before I could make good contributions to other games. Even then if that what games go like then, Id have to work out what my role would be.

So I am pretty

Read the thread, form opinions, ask + Show Spoiler +
questions,
make a case, pressure people.
Explain your scumread on yamato more.


I think what happened previously was an error on my part. To gain value from it anyway.
As a person with no meta(game history) however it shows why from now on I will post deliberately and carefully. Noise and confusion like that will only ever get me
* lynched if I am scum.
* mislynched if am town.


I have considered your suggestions and and of them I have chosen to do these things.
'No more Pity'
'play to the best of your ability.'

-------
Now doing just that.

OatsMaster A question for you?

Is it a scum tell when one player tries to tell another player how to play?
When do scum do that and why?
When do town do that and why?

Remembering that Lynch all Liars is a thing that some people believe in.
What is your truthful answer to those two?

@Anyone

In your opinion, what differentiates bad(newbie) town play from scum play?

Intention. Scum play will always have the intent of not looking suspicious, or of blending in. New town play might look like obvious scum play but it could definitely be a case of too obvious to be scum.



------
observation: The English above is very explicit in what it is saying.
The use of 'Intention.' as a one word sentence indicates the primary significance of it as an absolute imperative.
The analysis considers how one behavior, can be both a scum or a town play.

This is incongruous with my previous observations of meta in newbie games.
As that is so limited meh... I throw that away as more likely to mislead than help.

Hypothesis: This is not like the newbie games I have read.

Even more tellingly it asks for opinion about a topic at a level. 'bad(newbie) town'
This betrays a knowledge in the questioner, and an expectation of knowledge in the person asked, that there are other levels of play that they know both about and thus shared knowledge.
I could wrongly conclude shared knowledge is a scum tell, but I don't.
Most players here except me know one another.


-----

Minimum conclusion:
This is fair fight.
I can safely without fear play to the best of my ability and do no harm.
"First do no harm:" is powerful and honorable creed.

<but isnt it aganst the rules>
It is against the rules not to play to win..
A question that arises for me is win what?
You can win the match of mafia, go team, but if it broke or hurt the game, then you would truely have lost.

Near as I can tell the rules at the top each mafia game, are written by people who know the value of every word and degree of emphasis. Thus I hope they agree with my interpretation of the rules.


This is fair fight.
I can play to the best of my ability.


As the value of what I know depends on the skill with which I observe
I will state usually from memory what I saw before.

The knowledge i have:
In my obs of previous newbie games, I observed that thinking did not normally appear to me to go that deep.
I observed that SDM was the most valuable town asset.
As he was the most valuable town asset the obvious thing to do was for doc to protect him.
Thus scum would, probably, in newbie game kill someone else.
I thought that would be Aqua or Jacob.
There was no double double crosses anywhere.

The no lynch, made me suspicious of SDM.
While he had played to me as strong town.
If he was a very strong scum, he might have reached the same conclusion as I did hope the doc would protect him
and then scum would not nk at all and wind up with one of their own as confirmed town.
I had to throw that idea out, as I lack the actual experience to guess if in a newbie game that would be plausible.

This post contains content on its own so that does not get lost in the last one.

The last post drew a conclusion from a ridiculous small amount of data.
That is not all the data it is based on just all that was quoted.
A lesson I learned along time ago when dealing with potential liars is never show all your cards to them.

The majority of people here are town. I, state that, I think my optimal play is to show a large fraction of what I know.

It is a dangerous risky play for town to tell other players what to do.
If you think I am doing it wrong you could try to tell me in game what I ought do.

I am prepared to be given wrong advice from scum if that then gets them lynched.
(I wonder how many deep that was.....)
(I am probably going to stop mentioning double double crosses and looking tat things from both sides as if you have not noticed I know that by now you are not going to.)

Finally, hence Importantly

I do not reach final conclusions no matter what the English implies.

Oats I believe you asked me to change what I was doing.

As mentioned getting other people to do things is
a scum tell,
or helping a wounded (7/9)townie get back up of the floor

Does this meet with your approval so far?

Why or Why Not?

Wouldn't doing that be sure scum tell?

Are you not concerned he might be scum?

Currently I have a slight town read on yamato, however he seems to be acting differently as opposed to last game. Probably because he wants to improve like me, but you never know.



commenting on bits of that.

"however he seems to be acting differently as opposed to last game." didnt you say you thought we should hunt for scum that way?

"If he is scum, it doesnt matter." it matters to me. The way I catch scum is when they do things i think they should not.
You were getting yamato to behave in way that you think is more pro town by hunting for scum in a more 'normal way'

For instance
"1) I haven't played a game yet, but I did obs XXXII"
XXXII is this game. Playing and obsing it is bit ?

Do note however, I am not complaining about anything at all.

So far this game has been great.

If I am correct.

It is game setup that I dreamed of making for you guys one day.
Apparently you guys have thought of most things first.

So far this game has been great.

As i think I have solved for the win condition.

but to do that I would need to present my case, which I will do in about half an hour.



So far I find no evidence incompatible with my case.

I have strong technical hunch that some people cant as sometimes when
I open multiple windows here the game looks different.
I have not tried to verify that so I could be wrong.

This was my first post. (see below)

Clearly I did not write it in short amount of time.
Clearly it formed part of a longer term plan.
ba bow (ish) (not true) {you guys have term for this is it WIFOM ??}
Being clever I could prepare many of these in advance and then at the last minute select from a range.
So it was (provably?) only my plan for one game.
But I did post it at the start and make large commitment to the plan for this game.
The time spent making it is also a commitment to the plan.

I can explain the evolutionary biology of kin selection and how it evolves altruism out of
a survival of the fittest algorithm if you like, that would take a while...
most would drift off to sleep. See Matt Ridley or "readings in socio biology"
(and less so?)"selfish gene"

I can no longer pretend I am silly.m
That damn thing is so full of easter eggs that range from
C&C << A newnet admin thing
// c++ programming
memory of specific wording from the obs or somewhere about the dark night.
awareness of the spotlight.
awareness of the timing of an entrance as it on cue.

The visuals, making fun of oneself, showing a checking of ego at the door.
and just in case you dont notice that
falls on face (a ref to my real entry here?)
beached whale, yet more laughing at self.

Then FOS everyone.
Answering the question I have not yet but will be asked about scum reads
In the beginning every one else who is playing, and by my count,
there are 9 players(inc me) (assuming they are all individual distinct humans)
there is the coach, he is probably playing too

and finally there is the host, (but that is the conclusion)

but do note I suspect the host of the game until there was evidence.
and a lego chocolate cake is evidence of intention.
not proof just evidence

So he became my top read.

If he is town, and not lying to me, then I am also town.

(It was I previously supposed possible I was mafia and the PM had lied.... )

If someone I regard as important states the need for me to put the xxxxx in explicitly I will,
I should not have to as I am fairly sure you know.
but if you do that you are making assurances about where that data goes.

I have used my skills and reads on people enough to form the conclusion that everything I found suspicious about anyone being scum, was misdirection.

The players on this forum who are good had serious precision in their language.

I am now going to turn to consider the game setup posts.
Why those?

I think it time to re-evaluate, my position on the host.

His good intentions were evidenced by
A nice chocolate, cake reminiscent of the one my xxxxxx posted about
during newbie mafia XXXI which he said was truely delicious.

(actually i have never verified, he xxxxxx linked to prinzengenten torte
he just told me he did, I never clicked on that if I recall correctly.
)
==========
This bit is flat out paranoia. (hence optional)
(Ahhh thats how the bloody lights may have gone on)
There exist people that know that cake in the RL is tied to my family.
either that or I am wrong, but it would explain lots of stuff.
==========

How the host of game acts and plans things is much more greatly constrained that any of the players in it.

You player guys can do any shit you want, then change your mind and say it was the plan to
fool/enrage/frustrate X. The option are kind of large, and as claimed I have not played mafia.
{I keep getting worried every time I say that. As I have played shitload of things in my life.
I have certainly not played mafia in at least 10...20...? years). So if someone is sitting on some claim
I have drop it on the table, pls? }


Indeed all that recent faff I regard as evidence you are worried I getting close to rumbling the plan

==========
This bit is flat out paranoia. (hence optional)
Although as mentioned I do think i discussed it very long time ago.
I though it was in the 90's
I have since realised it may have been as far back as the late 70's
I think the person I discussed it with may have had a friend named cheetah.
(no that is not a pun on cheater, it was just the guys name)
==========

The host of game however is bound by all sorts of mathematics to make a game mechanic that works.

It is bit tricky as they don't answer many questions in game, and usually only briefly.
and I think I am probably just better of
reading all the rule really carefully and commenting on those.

So if this, post is visible outside, you may really want to say no dont do that before I get back with my cup of coffee.

oh we are back at fos HOST (its only a little fos, be calm)

I never really said why hosts are constrained.
Hosts want players to play in their game setups. The setups take time and effort and rewarded by the people who play them having fun. Hosts really ought be townies. Host that make game setup as for the purpose of annoying people would I suspect rapidly evolve out of existence. But I could be wrong.

Do notice that I am using the word townie on the host to refer to their RL personality and moral framework.

The other weird thing i have noticed about the game in general is the performance art aspect of it. Hence the obs?

Anyway the host being thus constrained to make game fair also understands the concept of a solvable puzzle.
here is my favorite example 31 41 5? What the next digit? Ok now what the second most obvious answer?
The next digit can be a 1 or a 9 and still fit the pattern. There were insufficient cross checks.
Actually there are always insufficient cross checks, but the fair puzzles have one neater small round solution.
Hence probably why there are literally clues everywhere.
IF you open the spoiler it may spoil where I am going but I hope you already know.
+ Show Spoiler +

I found ponies hip hop meat and even various, mine craft, and most importantly lots of end game boss fight scenarios.
That is why i was so frickin tired, I had read the internet recently. Thus I am fairly sure I know how it is meant to end.
I have lost where, but somewhere else I read about being able to exit by one of two doors?

Anyway, if this a game and I am meant to have fun in because the host wants me to come back, then there had better be a solution where I can win.
So as player I like the pro town approach, lynch all liars, lynch lurkers end of the spectrum. I can now having played a bit see that this might too actually break the game but I cant be sure of that. It is a concern I have.

AT one point the game signups said there were 13 spots. For 9 players.
It has been fixed.

The game specific rules said "There are (no) clues."
I find that peculiar as there are actually clues everywhere.
I imagine that is why the (no) is in some sense highlighted.
as are the
"There are no [red]3rd Party Planer Dragons{/red] in this game. Probably."
Do note that as they only probably are not in this game it is also possible that they are.
I have rather strong suspicion that there are indeed 3rd party planar dragons in this game
I even thought that before I did /in
I considered it possible there would be dragons in this XXXII game before I made my very very first post.

What I didn't want to do was spend another week screaming no at the screen, but this time having to interact as well without making it worse. That would have been bad karma. One option was to simply walk away but I really really wanted to play. Hence I bet the farm on stamping my foot loudly and attracting attention.


The setup is a "Possible Setup"
It certainly does appear to be a setup.
I wonder if i am supposed to rage or rage quit. Well if this is place where that is desirable I would not want to be here anyway. I can imagine a lot of souls would exit this setup that way.

{oopsies note: I am typing and reading this carefully but occasionally I do fsk up and leave out a 'not' when I type and proof read. Sorry That red one was one I nearly missed.}

For simplicities sake what possible setups exist if there are only townies and goons in the game.
In that case there are 2^9 possible setups. Of those which is the one I deserve. 9 Townies.

In a 9 townie game we all keep trying to play more and more and more pro town and leave the not there goons looking guilty.

So far in this game I only get town reads on everyone.
I also only get strong player reads on everyone, although some people at some time read lower.
As it is possible in my view there are only townies in this game.
And as a townie I don't want to mislynch a townie

what I want to do is vote nolynch
but I dont see that as being in the rules or not.
If I am correct we wont lynch anyone and the mafia wont night kill anyone either

So the townest thing I can will be to vote no lynch.

I think it would be funniest if we were playing in game at the moment that had no scum in it at all.

And as my read on everyone is town. That is the most likely possible setup.

I have not really thought it through, but i am pretty me starting a wagon on no lynch is just about the strongest possible proof that i am town and that is my best read of where we are at.

If and when the host responds to my query I will formally cast my vote.

Up until then My case is that if you are town and like me you believe you have reads that everyone else in this game is town then you too should vote no lynch.

BTW for N Dragons in this game where N is actually a number I am uncertain of

Voting no lynch today does have real ramifications for how I act in 'town'

The problem was I didn't know how much free for all there was.
Hence any problem that was going happen I could not let it happen in game.

Also this particular setup (and i dont mean the no scum one proposed) but with the fixed
number of special roles also was enough, if I had seen it first, even another serial killer
would not have mattered. (no offense)

Anyway as there are only N planar dragons this will take as long as it takes to rid town of filth.

BTW READ all the words this is not the standard puzzle

This puzzle kind of reminds me of the doctor who puzzle where there are two guards at two doors.


1 guard always lies 1 guard always tell the truth.
1 door leads to eternal damnation the other 1 to everlasting life.

In the original it is what question do you ask a gaurd? and then you do the opposite.

What about if the problem is stated that you must ask for advice then carry it out?
What one question do you ask? and then take the door you are told to?

I was through the thread reading our conversations yesterday
I quized you fairly hard on some things and that was because I was unsure at what level
you can think the game through. I made some progress on that.

Did I distract you from asking these questions of me?
You appear to have dropped them?
Are they now unimportant?

Q1/ Q2/
As I have no meta, it is easy to mistake what I do.
In the same way I wanted to understand how you think about the game, so I can tell if you do something anti town while knowing it is anti town.

Thus I am thinking in this game a good pro town thing for me to do voluntarily do is to state my analysis of a previous case where the outcome is known, but my reasoning suggested a different course of action to how the game went down.

Q3/
"Just casually say stuff, if it doesnt sound natural please dont post it :D"

I notice the :D at the end, but just casually saying stuff, makes noise.
Isn't noise good for scum?

So was there any other part of your questioning you wished to pursue?

I expect to have more question regarding what we discussed yesterday as a number of interesting things happened during that discussion.

I have not noticed, who voted for me when. I will check if I get time.
I feel pressured by questions about my real intentions not my current apparent popularity.

People voting for me because I posted some big things which you/they either read or ignore
but thus I did not engage with, thus not distract other peoples scum hunting, does seem odd.

I can see some people didn't like it.

I would vote for scum if and when I find them, otherwise I will do as I have done. and ##VOTE NoLynch
Doing that is a very bold move for scum to make. It is even I believe a bold move for town to make.
I am glad you were trying to help.
Do you now see why I did what I did?
Did my explanations satisfy you?

You also appear to have missed this question.

I am possibly not with a group of friends, which is why I am being analytical.

It does, and i am sorry if it makes you feel uneasy, but this how I talk.

@Kicks Would you care to comment on these decisions that you made?
Lots of questions inside the spoilers.
In Kicks case:
A thing I will find convincing is emotional plays.

In particular (I believe)
if he is scum then early on, he will feel confident, as he has more knowledge than town
if he is town then early on he will, be more tentative, probing looking for knowledge and information

Thus i will look early on where for the tells will be strongest.

Now to see which fits.

I really should not do this one, because it is an OMGUS, but it does?
It is a risk for me, as I am making case on a point where he voted on me. (meh)

If you didn't vote because you think I am scum why did you vote?

When you are scum you can go after anything you do not understand, as such you will scatter gun these "vote because its dumb tells". They will get you dead fast. I would hope that as town he would not do this. Use your own judgement.
If you think he would do that even if town, then it is a null tell.

being wrong about what to do when, is one thing, but when it contradicts what you did 1.5 hrs earlier, without you even saying your other reason went away.
That is also peculiar, but perhaps also a null tell, do you believe Kicks would do that as even as town?

+ Show Spoiler +

When this happened, which is such justified pressure that is applied and it makes me think Yamato is a bit more town. How does Kicks conclude the opposite? Might it be because he knows
* I am town and if I get lynched he can then attack Yamato over it and gain cred?
* I am scum and hes trying to protect me?
* what Yamato is doing is wrong, and Kicks knows Yamato should know better?
* he is sad he voted for me because I am Because dumb?
It is because he is [red]scum[red] I cant make another story fit. Can you?

And an hour an half before that I was too dumb to live? I don't think my play got much smarter in between.
He then says
Thoughts everyone?
which AFAIK, is pretty much a scum claim.
Scum hunting is focussed process whereby you find out why people do things.
Asking for whatever random thoughts other people have, is just going to make noise.
Worse it gives scum the opportunity to participate, without having to initiate their own lines of inquiry.
Doing that is wanting to work together, make friends, with just anyone at all. Town does not do that.
Even a nervous town will be worried about making friends with a scum, and then getting lynched for it.


##unVOTE NoLynch
We now in my view have viable D1 lynch based on what I wrote. I am now convinced this is not the town I deserved it has at least 1 scum in it. Don't worry host I still <3 <3 <3. I am nice gentle soul.

Ok this time I think have solved the game theory for everybodies win condition.
Especially the games.
Although two or three will probably take one for the team. It is unimportant who.
The problem was before I did not see it as my place to do that. Now I see
all I had to do was put the left over bits that I had not explained together.

but I must not give the game away so first so You know who I am.
I must first do no harm

Playing this game is about as bizzare as playing
illuminati

This game has gotten really confusing, so my intention is to build a case based on the early play
where the game seemed to make a little more sense to me as a game of Mafia.

## unvote
## vote NoLynch
Then having made that case I will
vote with the courage of my convictions that this time I have solved the game.
It is possible I will get night killed, it is even possible that by being a good
townie making my case voting it and sticking to it, that I will raise so much suspicion
that I will get Lynched.
All risks I am prepared to take.

Your previous vote was on Kick. Do you consider him confirmed town after the oats flip? When can we expect you to reveal your master plan?



I did have a plan then it changed.

Nothing confirms town in perpetuity. Especially by the actions of another 'scum'.
Any action can be scum at some level of misdirect.
Any action can be town at some level of WTF is happening man.

I was going to say more things earlier, I think I started but was then stopped.

The trouble with trying to be a fireman when you are not,
is that if you have a great big powerful hose
but in truth you have zero actual wisdom born from experience
all you wind up doing is waving it around like a dick
and pissing in all the wrong peoples pockets.

Having realised that, as I knew I was town, and should also flip town as well I STFU.
Yeah I saw that coming too. Although, perhaps despite what I think I know, I will flip scum too.

Yeah that it be cool game too. All townies as far as they know but N of them will actually flip scum.
If that is the game the I am the most likely (obvious actually) to be the one that flips scum.

I believe I still have considerable time to read and think about the decision
but unless I am greatly mistaken. Vote Nolynch was not really meant to be an option
and it *is* just a way to lurky. Not an action.
the only other option I currently considering is Vote AxleGreaser.
When I first analysed the game it was the only one on the table when I realised no lynch
was similar in effect but let everybody who was town live, which with in this game is a better
win for this round.
In the context of the larger game, I suspect Vote Axlegreaser has the pro town
beneficial ramifications. To be sure that will take me some hours to find it all again.
but that was the feel from last time I read the internet.

The reasoning for that is I know my actions raised suspicion and hence confusion
With 1 possible scum kill the first day, we have lots of time up our sleeves in this game
So by me Voting me, and flipping Green(red?), I get to be confirmed town, or (deluded town).
That will give town more information, with which they can then go after any scum if any that are left.
Then you guys can go back to looking for scum, and i can go back to what I do best
watch read, laugh, then read the entire internet because it is hilliarious.

Do note if I should do my research first i have not. That is just a logical analysis of the
current end game problem.

At this point that is wishy washy and has not yet voted AxleGreaser.
if that is your problem with it :| please
as I will go check stuff

When it all checks out, if there are no questions I will act.

yeah yeah promises promises are scum tell.
but already i think you have found that i am such an unusual beast that a problem you thought
had two answers had 3.
by putting it out there I check if I am now down to those two options.
(I have more options but i am pretty sure they are not the right way out)

Fundamentally my analysis is my choices are vote for me,
or vote for anyone else on whom my best reads are all equal but stronger players.

That looks like exactly two choices. If there are exactly two choices now then the decision is easy.
Loose the weakest Link.

Especially lose the link not wearing a firemans hat.

That would be true even if it thought it was not the weakest.

So now do you need to go spend few hours validating it then vote.
Or is that as bullet proof as it feels.

Would you for instance like me to tell you why I wont vote for an argument you care to make or link to.

BTW if it includes in game actions, in this game I reject your argument on the grounds
I know you can BS me into any wrong move like that.

This is after all in truth the first game of mafia I ever remember playing as stated.

Case on Yamato77

Basis interference with question of Oats, when he now says
I think they are probably good questions to have the answers to.
I mean, that is the point of this entire game.
You have to be able to discern what is scum play and what is town play.

Why wasn't he listening to the answers when he was there, and why post other stuff in the middle of it.
What was the purpose of the other stuff?
Would you have done that, and do you think he would if he was town?

Starting here

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17129392
I then proceed to question him for about 2 hours
(Why is no longer important, now that he has flipped red.)

Why did Yamato repeatedly interrupt this?

I find when I like where Town play is going, and currently I do, when focus has indeed been drawn, if town is being effective. Often the best thing to do is nothing more.
I do what I done since birth best, watch QQ and evaluate. I have worked out my most in town meta, this dog just will not bite EVER.
What else I will do best is ask questions small, simple, exposing questions.
That is not what I did as I was so green, but now I have some experience I think asking the right questions is my most powerful pro town tool. I am watching, because i can.

As I am not yet certain I have established absolutely what common knowledge we have
is my optimal play. Cos I am all good.



If you what you have seen so far is Ok, I will only progress real real slow.
Nothing will change fast, for a start, I need to do a lot more reads in this game.
I will establish the common knowledge from that, then my play and the clarity of it
will only get better.

when this game is over it will also be a while before I play again as there is soooooo much popcorn

If act without reads I think it just does the town game harm.

Why would mafia kill a suspicious lurker?


Sorry missed the question so much went by in the thread I got lost for the intent.
Well take the example of newbie mini XXXI

It happened twice, once on the first day, when MunkE who had not posted much was lynched.

It also happened the second day, when aqua who was AFK got lynched.
His AFKs were nice and regular, but there was post by him that was quite
confusing about what may be able to happen.

I can see how you might think you have some evidence of a scum slip in the first instance
but I think if you reread that carefully it contains full disclosure.

Was there one of those examples you think would be more interesting to discuss.

Lurker Lynches, are quite different things to feigned AFK lynches.

EBWOP Sorry not you me reread that games thread.

Aqua last post of the night were his best feel reads from the day.
As his vote is going down early due to those constraints it has to be on his best read.
He is aware that if he gets up in the morning has quick read of the thread and sheeps someone
then he will look bad. If he does not If the lynch goes somewhere else and finds scum he will look bad.
But he bravely took the risk. (as we know know he was town) at the time it also looked scummy as in
I dont care who gets lynched, and then fake claims to be AFK. This is the problem with all of these.

The largest risk scum takes, is when they first make a claim to anyone Hapi about who they are and what their relation ship is. Is it plausible that they thought that was good enough lie to get away with, considering what you have seen since.
yes WIFOm is an infinitely regressive game but at some point it such a ridiculously ballsy thing for a scum to do it I have never seen it done.

This one is gunna hurt. Blame it half on the allegory.

My now growing concerns

I also have strong feeling of confirmation bias. I thought it began in the lookout with view, but I starting to suspect all the pain dished was a setup. If you stop and think about who to... you will see self control. I will consider what I think of that after this setup is over. Given that from the start I told the truth and was possibly lied to... way to go town. The tendency to OMGUS LAL is so strong, if the truth is what I think it is. That is for later when you guys decide its your turn to start offering some or any truth as evidence of your intentions. When did all the lies start? In the beginning or at the lookout or are all the toys still yours?
I think the drama came from an initial misread by you of honest information as WIFOM then tunnel vision and confirmation bias all the way to here. God you guys need a scQQby but...
Your either going to have to start again and ask can two people be that rad... yeah.. heres a role claim
HD HD HD HD / HD HD HD HD / HD HD HD HD / CSIRO W/E Town , and that's the puppy
Can they be that pro real town... yeah
have you nearly burnt them yeah
Do you really understand how little they were asking for? and the commitment they made to get it?
Its your world, but an anti scQQby do approach concerns me when I presume you do have an eject button.

Would someone anyone care to posit a strategy where two such rad townies from one ip could ever approach you without looking rad scum? It does run in families as does towness. How much frickin honesty upfront is just enough to not WIFOM you and how would they know. whois somone is powerful tool that role claim was a long time ago. TL had that if they were curious. Did you invest town in effort an internet scavenger hunt?
If you desire to protect what town position you have is so strong there is no way for rad real town to get in... if thats who you are looking for that hard for opens questions for you to ask you.

Now look at.... did I rage, it did I have purpose in making noise.
if you ran the scavenger hunt somewhere quit close is my response to troll after troll troll. which never mind...

Enough of my concerns

@Axle

Given the Day1 lynch of Oats turning out to be a successful scum hit, and then Cheese being night killed during night 1, who do you feel is most likely to be the second scum.


Sorry yes I see no point in that kind hypothetical talk, I will only talk about this game.

Story so far:
Ok So Lynch D1 SCUM is Lynched on DOC is nkd.

Well, hypothetically as me, I would pick my second top read in this game as Yam. Due to the case I made case earlier.

We might as well start worrying now about what if Yam claims Blue. has no corroberating evidence of intention
of what a real true town player would have been doing. Well as that confirms intent not to be town, without explanation compatible with the estimated skill level of the player (BTW I can explain how brand new rad skilled newb can do that if you like) (as I happen to have rather rad skills and I am a 50 year old newb to mafia, while that different I could explain the other)

Once he claims blue he probably ought be able to tell us of some
of the pro town information he has been feretting away. Not having any screams of fake claim, and throws a persons mind
into a frazzle trying to work out WTF. No intent disproves blue, or is against play to win the little game, no counter (except for the fsking mess) proves town? AFK happens, suddenly your all flippin too, with stupid daft reasons. why are you flippin with lies. Oh yeah its your neat strategy to catch dumb scum, who believe lies so by telling various lies you filter through the scum candidates. Howver as no clever scum can flip claiming was scum baiting, perhaps LAL was right.

If then other strong town reads start saying lies by talking about the setups they have seen, but not what arad skilled newb reads the rules to say... and this is why LAL is thing,
but if your an actual rad young newb suddenly going no its all lies to the entire town who have both cred and experience is daft.
And if your young rads experienced enough in just how social stuff works, you dont even have to be mafia player, to know you with certainty cant swim upstream in bullshitstorm about the role setups.
At that point playing to the best of your ability pro town is STFU.
It also does that to clever scum who know not to expose their hand. so its null. This is the problem with lies all the way down. This is the problem with Dunning Kruger.
I often get my best reads from the first things person does are they trying to tell me stuff they are going to have to stick to.
and what is it they actually want for the stake they are laying down. Knowledge is power and when you have enough of the former, you realise that just brings responsibility. As such blue roles must be payed responsibly not just sat on.

So lets move on to, to where any real WTFman comes from.

if Yamato claimed blue and there was no counter claim made, we have to assume in this setup he was really blue.
That is unless of course is was stated the game was possibly open, but once again the strong town players
says all sorts of stuff, again the skilled young newb town might shut down. Dunning Kruger is a fearful foe.

100% town players are worth a bit even when their blue powers are not a lot of practical use in the specific situation.
Any real town player who actually gets lynched in that case is just fine with it. I would be, I would be even if there was much younger and it happened to them. Thats how you play town. Play for self is XXXXXX.
However even real town player if say they had invested many hours as town collecting reads and stuff unlike the not real town blue, who just said i am blue and ......., well its going to be frustrating in way you don't believe to have lots of pro town work that you dont get to dump if your AFK and town back flips on you. What if town had said hey man if we have to flip as you cant make MYLO, what are your reads just in case? Probably roses and tulips all the way down.
If there was any possibility of the AFK being real because say you had town read on them, and you didnt rely? on meta information you got from outside the game..... then the correct actual town play was any real town who had some reads, but knew their play that game had been sub par so the rest of town, didn't have strong feel for them. In order to keep access to the AFKs reads one of them might even say pick me or pick someone. Cos I can give you the reads i have, and we fsked up missed our chance to get his.
Even though if you read a game that hard there were so many statements about when he would and wouldn't be there they were WIFOM. Yet still town players were not cooperating to maximise what input he could have despite his rigid AFK cycle.
Well for while after a mess like that where all that work was wasted... some things might happen. Real town would put it behind them though.

However if that happened two games in row, and the older newb was looking at going down the the same sewer of of WTF man just play like town if your town, work with me within the real world limitation I have. The choices could rapidly come down to play and suffer and never play again or just not play in the first place, and knowing your town and rad town at that
that would suck big time. At that you might stamp your foot once. Then back off. Once there is some noise and the case gets examined, yeah what you did was wrong and it will get your wrist slapped. But hey man as described above
seriously real town, really will take one for the team. And I tell you having just run this through in head, my actual town read on you guys is not going up. I cant let it go down on that though, even good town can make moves that kill a real town player. It surely is just mistakes.

Now there is question a mans gotta ask himself do we feel lucky. What if its real.
Was there now an apparent reason for the, old dog, to try so fsking hard to say its ok its ok look I am saying who I am and attracting attention

Someone earlier invited me to play my hardest.
My hardest is quite slow play. This one wont be my hardest but it is probably more intelligible to most.

There a rule it is Play to Win (implicitly for you team)

When you implement that different people will balance different kinds of wins differently.
I seek comments from the audience of which win condition evaluation function are in this fora acceptable.
That is in fact the root of the problem.

I will just do some town versions

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win (Town expedient now)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win this and future games (Town LAL)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win and you be alive. (Town greedy)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win and you be alive and leading. (Town show pony)

You can play such Sum wins are worth more to you than town once because I think they are often epic. and have lots of nyah nyah value.

You can play such that you get the most wins for the least effort expended (Town/scum cheap shots)
There is probably a boundary on the cheap shot version in that you cant piss people off with abuse.
Although this would also endorse the all blues are likely to be lazy up until they flip, forcing us to lynch working blues who cant keep their powder dry or get lynched AFK, or through some paranoia vetting system to keep liars out.

You can do anything except verbally badger people in game.

There a rule it is Play to Win (implicitly for you team)

When you implement that different people will balance different kinds of wins differently.
I seek comments from the audience of which win condition evaluation function are in this fora acceptable.
That is in fact the root of the problem.

I will just do some town versions

which of these are acceptable individual definitions of
The a rule it is Play to Win? (implicitly for your team)



You can play such that the team you are in this time will win (Town expedient now)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win this and future games (Town LAL)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win this time and you be alive. (Town greedy)

You can play such that the team you are in this time will win and you be alive and leading. (Town show pony)

You can play such Sum wins are worth more to you than town once because I think they are often epic. and have lots of nyah nyah value. This will lead to play your town role suboptimally for the game you are playing to setup an epic win for the other team later.
^^^^^^^^^^ Is that play to win

There are even more categories but that ought give me a feel for the place.

You can play such that you get the most wins for the least effort expended (Town/scum cheap shots)
There is probably a boundary on the cheap shot version in that you cant piss people off with abuse.
Although this would also endorse the all blues are likely to be lazy up until they flip, forcing us to lynch working blues who cant keep their powder dry or get lynched AFK, or through some paranoia vetting system to keep liars out.

You can do anything except verbally badger people in game.




To help me do that I do need to be able to ask questions, which you then either answer or dont.
I draw your attention again to these

The only possible way forward for me to live and get the outcome i deserve and the game i deserve is to find out at some point there are no mafia left.
This game use Majority Lynch. So with that in mind, I fell best served by doing this as I am sure I am Town
I do however appear to have made number of mistakes this game, raising suspicions on myself
These are neither through lack of skill nor effort but experience in the game itself.
I think if I engage with players I will get played as that is fast and furious.
All my best reads and best contributions to the game were made when I was really very quiet
asking questions only in the silence when other were not hunting down scum.

When I was questioning Oats, for instance I had reasons for my questions.
Yamato77 I mistakenly before described as having a scummy feel for interfering that is wrong
it is for me a perfectly null tell. It is that because if Yam is town but does not know why I am doing
that he may want to help by trying to direct me where would be useful. That is now I understand not useful
most of the people in here are town. Most have an idea they are pursuing. If they are talking I will mmm

More importantly while I apparently asked the right questions of Oats they were a pressure play to see what happened
So far i am convinced that I can have my vote swayed.
I can however ask interesting questions. but it is my intention to only ask those when
i know I am not interfering with others

I do understand it was necessary to apply sufficient pressure to force me to the answer, as I was indeed playing very suspiciously, and my posts errg.

Thus

##Vote NoLynch

As Town I place my fate in their hands.

That does mean I am not doing things to help town. To help town all I have to is be quiet when i believe pressure is being applied. And ask questions if I find questions that I believe need asking at that time.

That does make that good town play, and is not what I will be doing, but I cant be sure it is scum play either.
There are many reasons either might do that and explaining them to scum only helps scum.

In the previous game that i could read posters, many followed a line of reasoning and thought, and displayed one skill level in this game perhaps because I am inside it I find players moving around a lot, first representing themselves as people that know very little and just get angry and then more sophisticated use of the language. That is very different to the RW where I developed what skill I have, at discerning intention.
Thus capability to do better, also as I noticed that Oats was a new player playing in your main matches and the newbie game it stood to reason he would have some skill at discerning information. If a scum player had been targeted and not set up the fake claim, that is just what it would have looked like.
My intention when playing this game was to see if when playing on the inside of game and posting if I could still do the same as in the last game and read people. I didn't know.

As I understand it, when player who is likely to get lynched gets wagon built on them that provides information to the other players. So yeah I am willing to be the townie that gets lynched. I settled on the no Lynch vote as it requires more votes to seal the deal.

Also if it is not a good play, Id expect another player to try something. If that didn't go as game play so fast it confused me then, I may or may not be able to help that.
So far Kicks and your vote is on me,
yours has some real content, that seeks to win the game. Hence I am addressing it.

Kicks reason was 'whatever'.

While the first part of your post addresses this game.
"Who was worse, blue oats trying to save himself last game, or you literally contributing nothing to this game but confusion. "

What game is this addressing please?
I signed up for a newbie game because i have never played before.

When not doing work for town when you are capable is one thing, I am failing not not trying.

In that they would have claimed role, said oh sorry I didnt get any reads, to get the role claim.
To make that harder to get away with Town player try with the abilities they have.

''You vote yourself, unvote, vote, unvote, talk to yourself, wtf?"

It now has 3 responses.

one portraying himself as Angry. Then through a conversation worked up to Voting.

Yours applies emotional pressure from things outside the game to get me to do something, different.
Other people that have other reads on you will ad that to their existing information

Which ever of the town people that are doing that, have the advantage of watching the interaction from the outside.

By waiting for an emotion vote to go first, it may be assessed that you have evaluated you need to be careful
People who know you better than me will judge whether you though that was plausible reason.

What intention do you have in asking me to explain mine?

I have a feeling that throughout the rest of your mafia career (if you could call it that), you'll never push reads, you'll never get into arguments, never be "caught in a scum slip," and probably never be thoroughly understood (except here and there, occasionally).

Good if we are going to discuss things, then me discussing it with the person who committed first and hence most to this task is best way for me to be sure, that neither of us disclose more than is necessary to establish a shared understanding.

First a theoretical discussion of why it is not currently wise for anyone to just go blah blah blah.
If you are town 100% and you don't know who you are dealing with even if you do have a strong read.
You should not show all your cards. You should not show cards in an atmosphere where there are arbitrarily
long periods to craft an answer. One of the way to limit the depth to which the lies go is to insist the honest
exchange happen in real time. While with time it is possible to make up very very deep lies you cant logic your
way out of its real time exchange that carries risk for both parties. You drink the wine one molecule at time each.
The prisoners dilemma, is a prisoners dilemma, but the iterated prisoners dilemma has tit for tat,
I have not verified this, so if a mathematician wishes to object, please tell me.
If you were careful each round in the iteration could be for higher and higher stakes and although the temptation to defect grows, the ever increasing possibility of future reward, ensures honesty in perpetuity.

Q1. If someone wishes to discuss why we are going to play an iterated prisoners dilemma. Please do so. If you wish to show good faith by adding your own indipendent mathematical reason you have freedom to do so in you own way.

A game of math tit for tat anyone? Or is math common language where it is too hard to lie.?

We will thus not be playing one round of prisoners dilemma.

I am happy to discuss it with either someone I trust so as to gain more trust.
I am happy to discuss it with either someone I dont trust so as to solidify that read too.

So is someone from my nominated list available?

The questions and answering and stuff will go slow then speed up. If you don't like that please explain when all I ask is small amount of real time (now not prepared earlier) to satisfy my need to validate you, you cant give that?

So is someone from my nominated list available?

Simple Ben is Cooky to a song.

In an iterated prisoners dilemma each party takes a small risk, where cooperating has the biggest pay off, but either
side could 'defect' at anytime. If this is an actual game, this is the best strategy I know.

TBMK there is no extra risk to you than if someone says tell me everything you know about the situation.
Indeed there is less. If Kick asks me to disclose stuff if doing so does not get result, that reflects poorly on Kick
What I am proposing above minimises the Risk for Kick who is to me (towner than) Rad.

If it shuts your head. Just say it hurts my head and play. If the math is wrong i take the blame Ok?
Look I put more bet on the table.

We have sufficient time to lynch both, unless anyone else has abetter candidate for today and case they can make.

(Do note how little information I disclosed... got here anyway(or an equivalent place). I am suspecting that may not have been the expected mechanic?)

Thus if no one has better candidates, the win is by Lynching Both, but choosing one to go first.
I not only want to win but win by the biggest safety margin.

Does anyone know which we should lynch first? (it is not like you are fosing them just giving anything other than an exactly equal read. To move things along.

I have chosen Rad.

A cheap answer is: Yeah, I suppose, but what is it.

I see Rads post as saying that is 100% of the reason for doing it.

I think it is the best plan. and will carry it out soonish unless someone wants it.
I think I probably ought be the one to take the risk as I need more credibility the most.

To my way of thinking Rad has just convicted himself of of being as scummy as he claims me to be.
Rad has just claimed he was goign to vote for someone just because he had no read on them when he also had no read on anyone else. If I was guilty of lurking when i had nothing so is he.

That would be an impasse. Except there are two lynches left. I could take one for the team.

But why if we can get a better chance of getting it right the first time?

Rad has 100% knowledge of whether or not he has anything better he could do and
whether or not he had any scum reads.

He states on the basis of that knowledge of himself that such people should be lynched for that

So is there anyone that thinks waiting for Rad is not profitable use of your time?

Ok I will see if I can summarise that.

Rad originally voted for me because Iw as doing nothing and not getting reads and stuff.
Thus he was up for
"lol yamato I explained my vote in my vote post. It's a policy lynch based on the fact that he gets more and more dangerous for town as time goes on (completely unreadable one way or the other)."
This now is strong commitment to a policy lynch when he simultaneously claims "I'm suspicious of jidolboy and arn."
when asked about that and pressed and asked to be brief and timely he goes afk.

I claim that is much better case than a null read.

Does anyone have case they wish to claim is stronger?
As apparently RADs case on his suspects is taking a while to find.

Now i have an expectation that nearer Lynch time stuff is going to go down.
As has been observed, in the full flap of the fight I get flustered and make errors.
If that is what is flying around I will let those that can do.

it is now my intention to make the best case i can on Rad.
Slowly and carefully. I think few things shook loose.
Of course if Rad or anyone wishes to discuss it interactively some more I am happy too.
Otherwise I trust your judgment that I can make case, that will make it stick.
It may cost me getting lynched tonight but that is Ok. go team.

So you have about 20 seconds to get your first question out.

As you have observed Rad sometimes real Life gets in the way. I will be going out soon for the evening.
I see other people think it is interesting too.
next time I get chance i will check the thread and see if there some logical reasoning i have missed.
I really dont think so.
I will however happily read any coherent argument you can discuss with anyone that wants to talk to you.

3 interesting things happened.

Like most things they, have multiple interpretations but because they are all on related topics comapring them carefully is good.

Firstly, but i will come back to that.

Doing this to show who I suspect, still seems suspicious as hell to me, Arn just looks like he is afk.

Lastly Arnarnion makes a claim about what he is going to do then does not do it.
That is a larger claim

That is a relatively expensive thing to do. It is either bad play or he knows he has some credibility to spend.
Arnion thinks a Town should go look at the thread.

=========

At most Only one of the three posters is scum.
The odd one out came first.
The second one came second and cast a different interpretation on what should be done cheaply.
Arnion who goes last emphasizes his claim, making it expensive to do casts the deciding vote for me.
Conclusion: The first advice which was given both to himself and me is wrong.
Why he did that is again up to you to fathom.
It produced the right result, was it slip or an expensive attempt then endorsed by the others

it is also in my opinion wrong, you need to form your own conclusions by examining what I saw.

It also makes sense to me that I need to do things Now. As indicated I dont go well when its going fast.
If there is an error in what I have done, and i got lynched but we are not then certain of the win, I need to
do what i can now to make that happen.

Advice that is wrong for at least one of us, because now only one can be scum.

It also, provides an excuse for an arbitrarily long absence.

This bit is the literal truth. I have a really weird scum hunting technique. It is called taking nap, I literally just woke up seeing the text of a series of prophetic posts. They were all early posts. It was a serious doh moment.

There are still details to be sorted out, but first do no harm, appears to me to solve all risks on that front.

On with just this game,
This could have been so so much easier, if only i had had the courage of my convictions from the start. There were so many pressures, ideas and sources of information that I could trust but with so many layers of lies. I had tried every mathematical approach I know, and seemingly even to my self come to a complete standstill. In the end the only thing that is true to the convictions that I cam in through the door with is this.
What has been true every game, I have watched or played.
The feel reads I can trust best are the ones I make very early in the game. I should listen to every other source of information, even the ones that are lies can tell you things, providing you remember that. Of all the pressures and influences which one do I tust? The voice inside my head, the one that is mine. In the end I must trust that because i know what I am 100%.
I must proceed both with caution courage, though First do no harm is the creed that is me, to not simply be a useless twit, I must proceed both with caution courage of my convictions. Which is also what I knew when I came in the door.

Lots of questions inside the spoilers.
In Kicks case:
A thing I will find convincing is emotional plays.

In particular (I believe)
if he is scum then EARLY ON, he will feel confident, as he has more knowledge than town
if he is town then early on he will, be more tentative, probing looking for knowledge and information

Thus i will look early on where for the tells will be strongest.

Now to see which fits.

I really should not do this one, because it is an OMGUS, but it does?
It is a risk for me, as I am making case on a point where he voted on me. (meh)

If you didn't vote because you think I am scum why did you vote?

When you are scum you can go after anything you do not understand, as such you will scatter gun these "vote because its dumb tells". They will get you dead fast. I would hope that as town he would not do this. Use your own judgement.
If you think he would do that even if town, then it is a null tell.

being wrong about what to do when, is one thing, but when it contradicts what you did 1.5 hrs earlier, without you even saying your other reason went away.
That is also peculiar, but perhaps also a null tell, do you believe Kicks would do that as even as town?

When this happened, which is such justified pressure that is applied and it makes me think Yamato is a bit more town. How does Kicks conclude the opposite? Might it be because he knows
* I am town and if I get lynched he can then attack Yamato over it and gain cred?
* I am scum and hes trying to protect me?
* what Yamato is doing is wrong, and Kicks knows Yamato should know better?
* he is sad he voted for me because I am Because dumb?
It is because he is [red]scum[red] I cant make another story fit. Can you?

yamato77 should pressure me for that, at that time.

He then says

which AFAIK, is pretty much a scum claim.
Scum hunting is focussed process whereby you find out why people do things.
Asking for whatever random thoughts other people have, is just going to make noise.
Worse it gives scum the opportunity to participate, without having to initiate their own lines of inquiry.
Doing that is wanting to work together, make friends, with just anyone at all. Town does not do that.
Even a nervous town will be worried about making friends with a scum, and then getting lynched for it.

We now in my view have viable D1 lynch based on what I wrote. I am now convinced this is not the town I deserved it has at least 1 scum in it. Don't worry host I still <3 <3 <3. I am nice gentle soul.

I am in the process of writing a slightly post that clarifies where I am regarding, the vote on Rad. I would not want the apparent clarity of that read, to create illogical confusion. The game was stalled, I jiggled around a bit. Found someone tunnel so hard into the ground that if I was wrong, that would be bad as that would cost both our lives and I think the game.
The logic used in that whole train of thought was based on false premise. I feel Rad knew that, and trusted I did too.
That is what I think we did together.

So we were locked on course for potential MAD. Rad doubled down on that by I believe being sure he went down first. Who, which one person, was down with that?

This will be my third game, my first game was Mario Mini Mafia where we won as town, my second game was Newbie Mini Mafia XXXI where I lost as scum. On lurker lynch policy I am of the opinion you lynch top scum reads, that is the goal of the game after all. If someone lurking seriously becomes an issue then they can be dealt with at the adequate time.


Emph Add.
This appears to me to be subtly buddying the whole of town.
For me, Inside my head it feels like this there is the voice I listen to me, and there is this other voice, whispering, Yay team, be my friend.
That post sticks in my mind.
The feel of the other players first posts is more one of quiet distrust. While we all know one another are probably town
The game history is one thing, but listing the previous win loss record also feels like buddying up to town.

It is subtle but it is there.

To expand upon this so you understand my reasoning. If i just commit to that course of action and it turns out I was wrong, then having lynched Rad, they then have to lynch me. The person who is happy for me to go that wrong way is Kick.
If he is scum these actions make much more sense.

While these actions are not the early on in the game, they are also at a time when for me intention was best observed.

With the votes so Broadly Spread and two hours to go we really had better get something done.
I bet your going to cry, when you know how hard I tried not to Listen the all town COACHES.
That was even earlier, and I didn't hear, that at all. While I can make early good reads me being so new too this I missed soo many others.

This early post
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/postmessage.php?quote=159&topic_id=385389

does not give me an accurate feel at all. The basis I think it is the past pre game history is misleading ME and clouding my ability to be on the same page as him at all. Oats may have been in two games, this however is my first, thus our understanding of the game back here was very different. I think I have only very recently got on the right page.

This post has a strong town feel. One reason is that it comes in with plan of how to get the game started,
by asking some questions, it is a good plan for how get a game going on the right track. In truth as back then
I really played mainly by instinct, I have no idea what happened.

I will say this much now. You can compare this noobies guess,
to the harder logic, to the full light of day.
I only acquired my knowledge late in the game.
My gut feel is I just missed the chance to win.
and that we may instead be at a coin flip.
which is probably what we were at when this started. so

Ok so I have had my sleep, and i consider it a possibility I will get nkd tonight despite it Appearing that it really ought be someone else, that gets killed. Although one possibility is that the other potential day 2 nk are here for one reason, and I am here for another. If that was so I am not certain whether or not I have addressed the concern, but that is not my task.

I have observed variety of motivations since i have been here. If you have knowledge that i dont you may perceive other reasons such as past meta to explain those actions. If so then my best estimations of motivation, are not the be all and end all, they are simply what i felt was going on in this game from my perspective.

I have a clear strong read of intent, and then progressively worse ones.

They will be summarised here then recounted with as much detail as i have time on the clock. It is important to note that as I now believe there is a shared basis of common knowledge some DetailS will be omitted as it is assumed we all know what they are. That represents a risk for me, as I am very knew to seeing them and may have missed some. Well Ok I certainly missed some in this game.

My first strongest feeling, is that Rad has been interfering with my ability to hunt for scum by pressing me on matters, in an emotive way, that makes it harder for me to get feel read on what else is happening. One of the ways town recognises scum is that they do things that interfere with you. Unfortunately another actual town who does not know if you are town or scum must do that a bit too. That happened most clearly when I was pressed on what i had said prior to the game.
and with various emotional pushes mad eon me that I think I have described before. I will do as much again now as I can.


My second strongest feeling is actually for Yamato, which came back as a surprise to me, with the timing of one event which then made me reconsider things. It is for me often the timing of things that matters the most. This happened when I was questioning Oakmaster, I was doing it because it was important to me to know what level of skill there was behind what was being displayed. I took a statement he had made which he claimed he dis not understand and proceeded
to very slowly show him what it meant. If I was in fact dealing with a person, playing in the open at the limit of their
capacity at some point they would have learned something. Faking I do understand this and don't that is one thing faking the active process of learning is another. I am convinced Oak master understood what i said originally perfectly well.
That was what I gained form that. As I was clearly proceeding with some intent, only one person decided no that would not do, and that was Yamato.

My third strongest read is actually on Kick. This one is weird. When reading previous game s I was sure i would find, kick annoying to play with, a viable strategy but annoying. Instead found him helpful, and I am sorry kick, but as this is feel read Kick felt like yappy little dog, that hunts things out of the bushes. That is what qualifies this as my third read. Was that motivated by an actual desire to be helpful or just to buddy up? Again I don't have the meta to know. So you must combine my feel read with what you know.


Thus
if I could as this time I would

Rads emotional pressure appeared to start before the game and cross the boundary. Perhaps i mistake that intent.
perhaps it was a legitimate question for out there.

It is also possible it is legitimate pressure here after all town has to find out if I am town somehow
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17160556

Oh and BTW who should turn up again and interfer with either my or Rads intent.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17167882 Yam
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17168212

Eventually at some point Rad does not want to deal with it anymore.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17169272

I would sugegst that indicates to me, he does not wish to argue this point
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17160556
If you know why he was pressing me there, and what he found out that may explain it.
For me I dont know, thus for me it reads strong scum intent, either that or a larger style of bird dog.
Again that will be for you to judge.

If you are in the fullness of time considering these you should read the thread in those regions for yourself.
That is probably even better than me pulling out all the details, as if you let me paint all of the picture
perhaps you would catch any confirmation bias i have.

It occurs to me I did not understand the intent of this post
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17169643
and this highly uncharcteristic this one.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17170088

If you do, then while I may have perceived Rads role scum interfering
it may have been he was a townie investigating an unknown.
This
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17170088
did not just pop into existence
There must be some reason that it was dropped at that time
at the time that I happened I did not reach these conclusions
as indicated I don't do that kind of thinking in real time.

I have however reached the conclusion i should address Rads post more accurately as an immediate priority

I know it is not to bottom post or top post o something here but I am going to go through what I said and tear its intent down into bits.

If Rad is now quite town, that makes his question real. It is a question of my intent.

This to me
["Who was worse, blue oats trying to save himself last game, or you literally contributing nothing to this game but confusion."]

means that this From last NMM obs: is now part of this game.

It was my first ever post here. I had never made case before I was actually surprised it came together like.

It starts "glhf" becuase it is a game that we play here it is not for keeps.
"Its hammer time." because i believed the argument to be solid.
"If this post is not what I ought put here, I am good with editing it away." States I am not sure how to deal with this but if I did it wrong, I am happy with how it gets fixed.

"If OakMaster turns up would someone kindly direct him to this question, that might be best
thrashed out here not in Day 1 of XXXII noob game (As that might terrify the natives)"
What happens in the game ought stay in the game and it did. As this is my first ever game I have brought nothing out of any previous game into this one.

"Oakmaster
I have never played game of mafia in my life.....
So you might tend to discount what I say.
However if an utter wet noob can say this too you and be right... perhaps there is a real problem.
Try getting some of obs to laugh at how silly these points are?"

This block of text indicates it is not my position.

"I might very well play in the next noob game depending when it starts.
I do however want it to be a fun experience for both of us.
I had however been tossing up the idea just not playing until you stop playing in the noobs.
I have been having trouble working out what I am going
to do so that if you and I play in a game I don't get mislynched D2."

This might look like a scum slip, but as i have not played before, it is what it says it it is a concern about what might happen in the future, that is similar to what happened in the past.

I could go on like that, through the whole thing i dont think thats profitable use of time.

"
glhf
I do however want it to be a fun experience for both of us.
As a noob seeking to learn.
"

"BTW: This is how you execute someone.
Might it hurt his feelings? "
There were two things to say with those two sentences I am not sure Iike how they might be misinterpretted.
In particular I have since learned it is best to identify the problem ,then use the majority judgment of your team mates
to work it out. As an iterated prisoners dilemma my first play was too big. Do note i claimed i had never considered an iterated prisoners dilemma with progressively increasing stakes before. As I had never used such a thing in a time constrained framework.

It ended with "glhf."

While i made mistakes, I believe especially after my questioning of him that was interfered with by yam
that oats is playing this game just fine. My original read on Oats was there was more than met
the eye to his play, it was betrayed by the bravado used, when challenging someone(forget who kicks?) to explain why
he had made his first feel based vote and did not need to justify it.

Well I did not expect that. I will have to see if i can find a good reason. I appear to have more time than i feared I might.
Good thing i didn't have enough time to show all my cards.

Life is always hard to say, so many layers of lies. Who is which kind of dog bird dog and attack dog, also how do you call one off. These are the questions I am learning about, now. That will take some deep reading of what just looked like faffing around before now. It may at times look like I am doing nothing, and hence look suspiciously like lurking and not sticking my neck out or committing to things, it will be important when reading me to try to work out how to distinguish that from my self claimed meta.
Which is that while I know bunches of stuff about science, math, and even games in general. This is my first game of mafia. Hence my learning curve is steep. Now that is probably cleared up my head not only in the game, it is only in this game.

Who is which kind of dog, bird dog and attack dog, also how do you call one off. These are the questions I am learning about. As I said learn by doing.

I also like real people need sleep intermittently and food. Also John J Francis nails it best for me when he said
"Ben do you believe in God and the words that preachers pray
I've seen myself in a still, calm pool and I've heard a donkey bray"
So yeah being calm is how I hunt. There is risk it makes me unreadable or AFK. It is a risk that i willingly take this time, a problem arises if I instead think about next time we play, and what might happen unless I learn rather a lot first.

And just because it is important that people know where my head is at because I do I would think rather unnervingly keep changing my meta during the game, in that i am getting better fast I hope. I have realised that a doc flipping on D2
has some choices. The largest threat looks to be the town leader, but how much does the doc know? The doc can leverage not disclosing what they know to make the scum decision harder. gads that deep no wonder I dint see it, apparently it was a derp moment. You do in truth have to have been in game to see stuff like that. OOps. Also you can HiDE a Cop, but if he randomly got nk's you loose all his knowledge. I believe that is some standard knowledge that i am aware of. However if you supposed I know all about such similar things you would be wrong.

BTW if the following is an error, it is an error, i cant possibly be thinking you dont know this.
As I understand it we have at most two lynches left.
Summary
ppl act Who What (result)
9 L Oats G (8 7:1)
8 nk Doc T (7 6:1)
7 --- NLynch (7 6:1)
7 nk VT (6 5:1)
6 L ??
5 nk ??
4 MLyLo ??

mmmm so much thinking.

I am having difficulty working out what happened Day 1 and Day 2.

QUESTION
Would you mind explaining to me a bit what you in particular found scummy on D1 and D2 at Lynch about Yamato77?



Aside:

I know you saying everything you know here in an open forum, definitely informs scum. I also know you don't know if I am scum pumping you for information. but as i hope i have said somewhere in my meta me asking you questions conveys at least as much about my intent, as your answers do about what you know. We can thus both aid town by making our intentions clearer. You may already know yours are to most people clear as you share more common ground with them. Help me be better town, or explain why you think I scum please...

Would you mind explaining to me a bit what you in particular found scummy on D1 and D2 at Lynch about Yamato77?

While waiting for how long, is unclear, I will proceed to see what questions i can think of to ask in order to confirm
the town intentions of other people.

Just to be clear this question is to @yamato. I would have thought by now that a vote for someone would have some substance and thought behind it. please could you explain yours more clearly.

What kind of scummy actions on D1 and at the D2 lynch?

I am hostile. I don't trust any of you but Jidol at the moment and all of you lurk a lot and don't ever push your reads.

if you disagree come up with a better target with a more convincing case. if you can't do that and you still disagree you are hurting town's chances by causing no lynches which are bad trades because we 100% lose a town player every night.

when I get home from this hell I call work I will make my case on Arn. You're free to disagree but you better do something productive then.


Yamato.
It is and was good you were hostile, that is a good town thing to do, it is also necessary I thought to show that I too simply did not easily trust, that as you look at me I look back at you. Crap can happen and voices can whisper in your ears, unless you are inherently hostile to being told what to do, then you are a risk to town. That I am not. It was however necessary for you to know the game I have got if called for.

I do agree that although i found what look like scum slips from you early in the play, I will not make case with those as they appear to have been based on false premises. That was easy, and probably even reasonable to do.

Are you here Yam Id like to chat about the time I was conversing with Oats.

BTW Silencia (and anyone else here) with one scum left in the game, I have an interesting idea. If you think I am asking questions about the wrong time period or topic, Just pop in and say something. In this way whether or not you pop in tells me things about you as well. I think that provides the maximum benefit to town, in the long run. I am all down for a long run strategic analysis of the game. I have considered probably more than all the possible outcomes, and am fine with them all. Town should come out in front, quite a bit.

That is not a case, so I really don't expect or want other people to suggest they have had similar feelings until I and Yam get around to discussing this further. If of course up to Yam to decide how long he takes and what that means.

If there is anyone else here we could consider lots of things, and take up space if that is a wise course to make sure we have not overlooked anyone. I am convinced my other scummy suspects, would not be elevated higher than Yam. Or i could just wait......

My point is that when other town players are doing things with intent to hunt scum, other town players stand
back and watch. Often not being directly involved gives you the most accurate insights.

It is scum that try to direct how other hunt scum. Is that not your understanding?

In the end Oats flipped scum, as scum you knew that, and perhaps you id not know what I was looking for, but hat i was proceeding with intent was enough for you to want to interfere.

confirmation bias is such a bad bad thing.

@Sylencia if you are there I have a couple of quick questions I would like to Ask you.

Also @Arnarnion if you could tell me when you would next be around that would be helpful.

Also if anyone wont be here near lynch tomorrow could you tell me it may be important.

Actually @Sylencia Sorry I am happy with that answer instead.

Yam has already made a case on Arnarnion here
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17201753
it is based on feels of the game I dont have. So I cant comment or just sheep
that unless I find my own evidence.

If you have the experience to know thats a valid argument then give it
whatever weight it is due.

I deal in rougher measures. part of the The itchyness that made me move my vote of Rad without counting
properly what that meant, was partly mistakenly becoming more convinced Yamato was scum and partly
feeling something was wrong.

Oats had been a noiser player thus I would have expected it most likely for the other scum to hide in
the other big puddle. The quiet people.

Although both Arnarnion and Silencia are quiet, jidolboy is too but he has claimed.

As you are all good, players if one of you was actually a named townie, or a blue role
you would have counter claimed we throw you both under buses, yay team.
As I am a careful player, I too have checked what I am several times, and I have no
evidence I am not just what I appear to be, a town player. I may once have said playa
before I realised just how hard language is read around here. Stuff happens,rocks fall.


So lets assume for now jidolboy Cant be Scum or someone Would have counter claimed.??


An association case. Arnarnion and Oats.

In my minimal knowledge a pair of Scum players have strong tendency to be in different
pools of suspsects. One will be noisier, active and take risks hoping to get enough time
to let the thrid one make it thorugh to a 3 man LyLo
They will also want to pick off the two blue roles.

Thus with Oats as one scum I would expect the other to be one of,

Sylencia, Arnarnion, jidolboy(Confiremd Town)


The question is which?

Quite early in the thread

Oats was asked question sevral times
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17124632
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17124724

Arnion came in between them, when the silence was getting loud.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17124708

That could be chance.. So we well I did until i drifted off.

=========
Here Arnarnion, asks about a question Oats asked and was answered.
I dont find the question, anywhere.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17130177

Arnion then asks for a list of scum reads from Oats.

I was going to go through and look for how often which people gave lists but I got too tired to do that kind of work
I was meant to get up hours ago.

EBWOP.

The opening phrases of alarge sample of arns posts all in one place

Arnarnion's filter is short it does not take long to see

"Alright"
"Yam and Rad. You guys make good points,"
"That is fair Kick, but we still haven't heard a thing from Sylencia yet"
"CC, hard to say, but based off of what I saw"
"Oats I have a question for you, isn't Kick's behavior right now"
"Then what about Yam pursuing a line of questions on Axle is scummy?"
"Also Oats, I would be inclined to agree, since his jump on you last game"
"Sorry if I'm off base right now man, but I'm looking at Kick, his wishy washy
approach on Yam Man has me pretty uneasy. "
"CC I think the scum agenda comes not just from his initial FoS, but his behavior afterwards."
which is to {<<<< dunno even why I wrote that. Apparently i thought it was important so I leave it }
"CC, do YOU have any reads on Kick?"
"God damn, I feel like a broken record, but jidol, what is your stance?
Do you have any reads on Kick or Oats?"

What is the intent of bringing the case? WHen I do it is to get the target to respond
"cc I was kinda vocal for awhile now that I've thought Kick has been suspect, and I would also
appreciate if you would address the problems in the case as you see it, instead of just dismissing it."

Wel the fighting didnt go dont as desired. (Push me pull you on Kick)
"As you can see as of right now I'm not voting for anyone. While I am less convinced than I was that
Kick is scum, I'm also not ready to say that that makes Oats scum. The fight that broke out between
them seems more of a town on town altercation to me."
tries to divert to a lurker lynch
"....So I'm going to #---- #Vote: Sylencia"

Now for the Bus.

Today you are going to Vote for either I or Arnion or you make up your own minds on a third.
Tomorrow another two will be chosen between and then you win or lose.
I have a third .

I really feel that shooting Kick could have made me focus on Yam and Rad. The were two lynches
providing I dont get lynched there is enough time. But why wont I get Lynched, merely becuasse
I know I am town is not enough other people must know that too. But if I didnt consider that
that would be a good sucker bait story. I was wrong there were 3 lynches I just cant count.
Intuition caused me to swap votes without even counting properly. Now theres a derp...
With me its not turtles but derp moments all the way down.

What on earth do we do with two Lynches, What do I do, I have to find the one, or do I?
What if I could target one, create a real argument that I ought get lynched first as that
might well provide more information, then the rest could choose with more wisdom tomorrow!!

Hey look Right solution wrong problem? maybe. Actually perhaps I was mant to get here by lynching
the wrong person yesterday... weee splat on face again. Good thing I dont mind. This is how I learn.

Never mind whats that itchy feeling I have in the back of my head. Its Arnarnion.
Am I suffering conformation bias becuase I am not allowed to suspect Arnarnion becuase of out of
game stuff? The roles will have been chosen randomly, except I am still alittle uneasy about the
host. I must I have been told trust my feel reads more.
What if there is something i dont know about myself that I will only find out if I go under a bus.
hey that could have worked with 3 lynches if I had got here yesterday.
Oh well lets make it work with two. I just have to go under the bus first!

No I didnt read it at all , as i said meant to have several hours where I posted that but not the self under the bus argument first

if the arnion vote seemed to hold water than i was going to argue that if Arn didnt turn up
red then, I was tomorrows best lynch without question.
if it was indeed without question then I ought get lynched today. Why?

Well if lynching me today turns up more infortion it could have led to a better informed lynch tomorrow.
weird logic but I think its correct that that would have been better.

My biggest problem is I have pro town read on everyone that is left.
Id like the rest of you to consider only yourselves as you have known one another longest.
Does your play within, just this game, seem like it is pro town play.

Your play styles to me appear to run in pairs, I could identify the pairs, but that leaves me
without a pair, that is of course unless it is the host.

There were times when i was put under a microscope, I reacted badly to that
Indeed I got to believing they were the problem.
I then realized (not when I changed my vote (that was luck) but shortly after)
The people doing that are thus pro town.
I have also have pro town read on Sylencia.
jidolboy has a claimed role and there are no counter claims.

and then there is me...
as in my first post and explained here
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17135766

I do indeed check every bodies motives. Even my own.

This is a thing.

Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.

That means i must play to win. When playing this game you cant choose a style of play that is optimal for whatever
team you are on that round, you must choose style of play that works in the long run for which ever one you play
this time.

Now if the host is the matching pair to me and it is lying to me, then you have problem.

So if this was a few hours ago I would have suggested lynch me first that is for me playing to win.
Even now I cant say I am more suspicious of any player in the game than the host.

Oh and BTW me pointing me like that, doesn't make me a less useful lynch target at all.

No I hadn't even read the flavor until now my first feel read on that is.

##FOS The host

As such I am going to reread some rules.... and see just how far they could be stretched by
a host with an evil sense of humor.

hey host I have been noticing that you appear to not answer any questions at all.
Normally you do don't you? Are you the host Lurking? or just got no voice at all.
If you are a playa, can you take any actions in this game at all?

Please reply when you have time, Id like to ask you some questions about the rules of this game that You made?

Oh and while i am sure i cant get mod killed for what i am doing.
trusting my best feel reads.

here they are

if I get nkd tonight try this out tomorrow try 'voting to lynch the host' and see if he claims it is against the rules.
That will teach him for having no voice and being the ultimate lurker SK.

if I dont get nkd tonight but someone else does.
I suggest those who are left
try 'voting to lynch' the host and see if he claims it is against the rules.

if I no one gets nkd tonight.
then we can no lynch tomorrow

if I no one gets nkd again
then we can no lynch again

That would be optimal play for the host BTW. yeah host never stopped wondering about you never will
that how you get kept in check.

Lastly if somehow you get to day when there are only two players left in the game but somehow its not over
definitely Lynch the host. Even if he suddenly stops lurking.

I know that may appear that it doesnt make sense but does it at least parse ?

paranoia mafia indeed.

Apart from the first lynch, where you guys lynched a player for what you regarded as scum play.
But at that time I couldn't really see it although i did try hard as i knew how to find out.

You are however correct, you cant always stand back, I have looked for scum nearly got rad lynched then
changed my mind onto Yam, but then again reinterpreted it all again and found the pattern of town
motivation there too. They both tried to find out if I was town. That is a town thing to do.
At first I didn't understand and thought it was scum play. Problem is they cant both be scum so one of them must
have been making it as a town play and the best person, to suspect the other as a buddy is the one being buddied.
So unless they want to accuse one another I don't.

If I get nk'd tonight try this out tomorrow try 'voting to lynch Ghost_403' and see if he claims it is against the rules.
That will teach him for having no voice and being the ultimate lurker SK.

if I don't get nk'd tonight but someone else does.

try 'voting to lynch Ghost_403' and see if he claims it is against the rules.
I will try that first if you like. (it has occurred to me it may be against the rules for me to vote for him)
If I try voting for him and it is against someone else will need to try and see if it against the rules for them too.

if I no one gets nkd tonight.
then we can no lynch tomorrow

if I no one gets nkd again
then we can no lynch again

paranoia mafia indeed.


Assuming we get to tomorrow but some active 'agent' executes another person tonight
and it is not me that gets nk'd.

Another option is you/me/we cant ever lynch the host, and that your only option to stop the scum plan is to lynch me. I am good with that.
If it is the case that we cant vote for the host, then the best other lynch, not because I am not town, I do keep checking that PM. If you cant lynch the host, then either there is no way to win. or the only way to win is for you guys to lynch me. I will vote first on that one.
As the case I am arguing is against the host, and i am effectively rebelling against his evil plan for this game.

I would like to choose an earlier time for my personal deadline, then go AFK, to be clear i mean it.

The Hosts are not a part of the game. We are here to facilitate others in playing the game. That is our sole purpose and motivation. Votes for the hosts are meaningless. Votes for deceased players are meaningless.

Ok So I may have identified one door and reason for it.
But unless the host is also a player in the game then it could well be the wrong one

Night 2 has begun! You have 24 hours to submit any actions you may have to all of the hosts.

Note that there are no clues this game. Any names used above are purely for flavor.



The host appears unwillingly answer questions in green, perhaps he is just AFK.

I am going AFK too for while I need a nap.

I am going to see if i can make up a feel read for the missing flavor text for the no lynch.

Or perhaps we should just wait the night out and see if we are all now on the same page, before saying more.
As it is not here our turn to act. When to STFU is the lesson learned for me this game.
So if I am not long for this small world, remember it is only a game, even if it is a red queen one.

One of us townies will die tonight, but even so I still think town can win, it is what i am honestly working towards even if my
ways seems strange at first, as it Was my first time playing this game.
As it is not here in this small game our turn to act. When to STFU is the lesson learned for me in this small game.
So if I am not long for this smaller world, remember this is only a small game, this game is fun and nice relief from other less funny games, even in the Larger sense when considering mafia games across many rounds that game tends to be tends to be a red queen one.
I do know who I am 100%, same as when I came in the door, just which a bunch more skill. Hopefully whoever is left will lynch the right person tomorrow whoever that needs to be.

Every time you say part of what i am figuring out for myself, it counts against my certainty. Its 7:30 where i am I will post again in 3.5hrs. 11pm about At that time I will either have something useful to say or an estimate of when i would.
The extra information since I last read the thread has not made much difference except now it feels too easy again :/

Basically if you are here, we would discuss which of Rd or Yam to Lynch. All the pairs would do that.
I understand two way conversations I can feel when people deflect.

So for instance with you i would discuss some _very_ early events with Yam, and an exchange I had with Rad.
The one piece of outside knowledge i would seek is, was that in your current view due to misunderstandings back then.

Basically you get to focus me on or off some areas of the thread.
That says things about you and lets me draw firmer conclusions about them.

On the other if its what people want i can just Vote for my top read, and we see what happens.

That is we are mainly comfortable that will end well, I really have no idea how it well end except that i feel calm about the game for the first time in a while, as Rad said this game is very different from the inside. Which is partly why the pairwise discussion is proposed.
I do have lots and lots of reads just some of them have been very confusing, and some very wrong.

Anyway I will wait a bit then go to bed for 8 or 10 hrs.

I will cast a vote tonight. (within 3-4 hrs)
I am not entirely clear of the status of that vote of mine but, as everyone has cast a vote, it is also possibly the last Vote to be cast, on Yam, or the one that says no not Yam.
I will give at least some reasons for it. If more are needed I am sure I can give some but if I paint the whole picture, how do you know what you are seeing is real. Confirmation bias is a thing, which is why voting last I give my reasons first.
The cause for the delay is as this is my first game, and I have learned rather a lot, I have had to go back and really read all of this game and the last part of the last game to see what really happened as opposed to the small glimmering I had at any other time when I read them. Consciously I missed rather a lot of the details, the first time through, although I think a number of my decisions were guided, by stuff I didn't even know I had seen.

Getting a lynch on rad is impossible even if syl believed me unless somehow axle followed our vote by blind luck

Lynching Axle is a possibility but also the best play for Rad if he is scum because it is Mylo. Lynching him is a coin flip completely and town again wins or loses on basically blind luck.

No Lynch looks like an option but only helps if Axle is actually the last scum and he kills me or rad, which a good scum player would never do because you want to kill the least controversial player, not one of the most.

So basically either rad is scum and wins the game right now or he is town and we lynch Axle.

If you were voting for me because you thought I was one of the two most likely people to be scum
why are you now, talking to me about not voting for you when i have not even done that yet?
Do you know something I don't?
Wouldn't it be more profitable to talk to Rad or Syl?

or present reasons why you think other people should vote for you top scum read instead?

If you think rad is most likely to be scum why did you vote for me?

## Vote Yamato77

it is still quite while to days end, but that is fairly hefty nail unless I misunderstood something.

This would be the first question to address as it happened recently while i was calm and thought i knew what
was going on for sure.
As it happened relatively recently you should know why too.

One thing that occurred to me is that Yam also played a bit like this in XXX1 which is why my feel reads were based on earlier posts. I will now start posting why I believe Yam is Scum.

You guys as you are mafia players dont deel the need to explain stuff I do as i dont know if we have shared common understanding of how I hunt. As such lots of spoiler boxes so you can ignore what you dont need.
+ Show Spoiler +

There was point back there where I showed clear intent. What for should not matter, clearly (while I was doing it) I was after something. if you were interested in finding out if I was scum, I would suggest watching and then when it is over asking questions. If I am scum letting me go on will just dig the hole if there is one deeper, if it is misunderstanding there will eventually be so much consistent intent that when explained it will be clear.

The observed sequence
+ Show Spoiler +

That starts here

Where Yamato observes enough of “something” to unvote me.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17128889

This has clear directed question about what oats intentions are when helping a player.
Clearly I think scum hunting related.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17128988

Yamato chucks this in. {once} + Show Spoiler +

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17129071
if he is scum hunting on topic that interests him why just do that?
If that interesting perhaps he ought look at it. He says he Gonna hafta..
I dont remember the result.
Oats accepts that life line and changes topics.

I have intent and go on , and on.

Again Yamato chucks this in. {twice} + Show Spoiler +

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17129619
Yam : "But kick's difference I think could be meaningful. I'm not entirely sure."
If he did what he said he might find out.
To me the clear intent was to get me to go chase this bone instead.


Again Yamato chucks this in. {three times} + Show Spoiler +

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17129692
It is big wall of text post it is not like he just wrote it.
Clearly it ought have some intention as effort went into it why now?
Is it because the first two attempts at distracting from the scum buddy failed?
Notice that it ends

A lot of your posting this game has been about "this looks suspicious" or something of that nature. Everything can "look suspicious" from a town POV, but you feel the need to say it a lot. Why?



Eventually here I look like I just wander aimlessly off.
(remember at that times oats was not confirmed scum)
+ Show Spoiler +

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17130113
remember this post.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17128969

I think i will find if I squeeze hard enough people may well give off scum tell,
if I find out what i want and they don't know what that is, and they are scum
I expect to notice their behavior change. In the face of a new or perceived threat.

Kick is playing different from last game. Gonna have to read his filter from Mario Mini.



While that is an interesting observation if it is true.
What did Yam intend to happen next and why?
I believe he hoped i would go do that rather than continue to question Oats.

The third post was this
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17129692
+ Show Spoiler +
My strategy this game is far more aggressive than it was the previous game at the beginning. If I am town, my main objective day 1, especially early, is to provoke discussion and responses. The more information I can garner from people, the stronger my reads on them can become.

I know I do keep going down the road, but "If I am town," is an interesting thing for someone who is town to say.

"Up to that point, only Axle had seemed to willingly ignore me so I went after him. People that don't want to give up information are either scum or blue, because they both have something to hide."
Why think about hunting blue?

"What my focus now has become is why you have started to throw suspicion around on players who are looking into people's play early."
Does Yamato thinks there is special reason why people should not examine peoples early play?

Axle, please just leave your question for me and I'll respond. I, again, have to work all day, pretty much up until close to the lynch time. If you just leave me your question I'll get back to it as soon as I can, and I promise I'll answer it well before deadline, but you can't expect us both to be on at the same time to have some sort of 1 on 1 back and forth. It's just not going to happen because of my availability (or lack there of) during my work day.



It took me a while but I answered my questions for myself. The most recent problem was post where you seemed to know who would get nk'd. I think I understand what you were thinking when you said that now.

So no I now cant see myself voting for anyone except Yam.

Well what can I say, that was an experience. I felt arggh, I felt laughter, I felt many things. One thing is true I learn from everything I do, I just cant help doing that. Normally the chant is play play play, I am me I know me best of all, for now I play best slow, first I must digest what I have learned. Normally before people play even once I suspect they do a certain amount of concrete learning about what is normal so they don't make a mess. I think I might thus go back and do things in a more normal order. However I am relatively sure I played a novel game of mafia, and some people like new things best of all. Apparently some people like me like them a lot. I felt nervous as soon as I signed /in. Clicking on the obs link looks even more ominous. Well what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I am tougher than I look so obs link it is for me. This time a little wiser I hope. Basically, Its all good. GLHF

I would comment on the game itself but I don't yet really know what happened, apart from the obvious details, I have to reevaluate many things with the skills I have learned in the past N days.
