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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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 ![]() 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. | ||

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. | ||

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? popcorn mode engaged | ||

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?

Just casually say stuff, if it doesn't sound natural please don't post it :D 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?

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?

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.

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.

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. | ||

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. because although I didn't get a read but I got a feel the wind changed direction. Anytime I said anything, it made shit worse. doh. well yeah. doh. That's the door I came in through. Hence this time I asked before posting the argument. Not a joke but C&C alert + Show Spoiler + 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 On December 07 2012 11:56 Kickstart wrote: @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 | ||

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 he may want to help by trying to direct me where would be useful. 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. Tiem for me to :| | ||

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. | ||

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.

Please post some of your reasoning and questions for Rad so that we may all see your reasons and so that Rad may answer the questions when he has time. This is generally how forums work, you post something and then wait for a response so that not everyone is required to be there at the same exact time, you don't wait for everyone to gather in the thread and then start posting. 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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

That is a relatively expensive thing to do. It is either bad play or he knows he has some credibility to spend.

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. | ||

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.

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.

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?

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Another critical post from the start is this one. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17124574 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 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 V o t e Rad F O S Yamato f o s Kick | ||

perhaps it was a legitimate question for out there. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17123728 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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" ##Vote @Arnarnion | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. # --- #Vote Axlegreaser # --- #Vote Axlegreaser with this.

+ 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 + 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. | ||

What did Yam intend to happen next and why? I believe he hoped i would go do that rather than continue to question Oats. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||
