Look, bugs, if you are town you should quit it with this everyone is bad nonsense and find a scum. I don't think the lurkers are scum. Do better.

nope, I disagree with you.

OH WE AT AN IMPASSE NOW

You don't just "make" cases on people. That's fucking fabricating.

I'm dead serious. WBG is a good lynch.

He's probably top 2-3 scum players in this game, but his town play is more middle of the road. He's hard to read because he's loud and arrogant without being right often enough to call him out on it when he's wrong. Top town players like Sandroba or myself can be figured out just based on if we're actually making the right calls or not.

make a case, find scum, they're two different ways of saying the exact same thing.

If it was so easy to find these "active scum" you're talking about, how come you haven't done it?

Oh, right, because scum probably aren't active.

How many active scum have you encountered in your time playing mafia? Maybe one per game? Two, max?

Do you understand what common activity patterns of mafia are? If so, tell me. How does standard mafia play look like from day 1 to day 2 to day 3, from an activity perspective?

Do you think all the scum will have the same activity levels?

What kind of activity level did the already-flipped mafia have? What does that tell us about the rest of mafia?

Have you considered how the host might balance the game? What does the already-flipped mafia potentially tell us about this?

If you can answer all of these questions satisfactorily and still say that you think scum are active, then you should simply go ahead and lynch me tomorrow and then call me bad, and cry when everything I said turns out to be correct. My reads may not be correct, but given that a majority of the players in this game right now are NOT active, scum are bound to be NOT active.

I mean, you do realize that you're a potential lynch candidate right? So if you are town don't you want to prove it instead of letting us think about lynching you?

Or are you just not reading the thread?

not only that, but I'm being called scum for calling eywa and stutters scum?

It's a fucking process of elimination, it doesn't take a genius to see that scum absolutely suck nards this game. If we are to take claims at face value then the remaining scum are pigeonholed. We just lynch through several players in order and autowin the game.

If we don't take the claims at face value then it's either because we flipped a townie or it's because we have a very strong reason to believe that the claims aren't true, i.e. at this point a counterclaim.

Given that no one can explain to me how either stutters or eywa is town, the easiest path of action is just to kill them both after debears.

Of course I want to prove it. I'm in the thread when I can be and trying to make posts from my phone when possible. If you checked my previous games, this happens every time and every time I'm always town.




So what happens if debears flips SK? Do you honestly think that the both remaining scum would be the two lurkiest people in the game? I wouldn't be surprised is Ewya is scum but it would be an incredibly stupid play for both of us to be scum and lurk. If you think we're both scum, how do you explain wiggle's death being so easy like he was being bussed? If I was scum wouldn't I be in a significantly better position by railing the shit out of wiggles and building town cred instead of staying on the fringe while people call for a vig shot on me all game?

I judge people on their play this game in correlation to how good I think they are and what on think they should be doing.

All of your questions are just a bunch of characteristics about a game that have no definite answers. You can think you have some predetermined formula for how scum always play and their activity levels in relation to other scum but it isn't more convincing than someone's play RIGHT NOW. I think about mafia objectives in the game at hand and judge who is pushing them. Who is making plays that align with what mafia would want to do?

How do mafia expect to win this game right now just by lurking? It doesn't make sense. If the scum are that bad and not playing to win then we do have it in the bag. If you honestly believe the last scum are lurkers why do you keep saying that town is bad and in a bad position? If that is the case then all town has to do is iron out suspicions and arrive at the conclusion that lurker lynching is the best option.

But for that to happen everyone has to actually play like a town or be confirmed town. You are neither and thus worthy of suspicion. Don't you think that getting suspicion thrown on you as town three games in a row is indicative that you don't play like town even when you are town? To me that suggests that the people suspicious of you are, indeed, justified if their suspicion. Yet you call us dumb and refuse to see that what you are doing at the moment is anti-town.

K. Check me, shoot me, lynch me if you don't believe me. You'll be wasting whatever action you take but if you can't see how glaringly obvious it is that having the two biggest lynch/vig candidates via inactivity is a bad play, you're going to waste an action on me to confirm that I give what time I can to the game, just like every single game I've been in where this came up.

this guy clearly can't read

mafia godfather dying d1 = scum are weak.

weak scum lurk.

This type of correlation is not genius-level play.

Bugs, I can see where you're coming from. All of the points you make are pretty decent. I've come at you with quite a bit of confirmation bias but I really hated the way you made that post. Don't you understand that going around calling us all dumb isn't something a townie should be doing? I understand you feel frustrated with the accusations at hand but honestly I don't know how you could make a more anti-town statement at this point in the game.

But for me to not want to vote you I want you to think about Promethelax. He wasn't here day 1 with his thread clout to stop the wiggles lynch. Day 2 he pushed a super easy lynch on Eywa. He could fit into both our models of the scum team. You say it was weak day 1 and lurky, well that is exactly what zelblade was. Day 2 Prome was active and pushing mafia objectives as I outlined in my case against him.

What say you?
