Can you give me an update on your current suspicions? Xatalos does have a point when he says that you haven't been all that committal this game You kidding? He has been a floundering neutral playing PoS this game so far and literally hasn't done anything but teeter on the fence of null on DP. Xatalos scum. Jay scummy as fk. Yamato is pretty meh considering he's Yamato. That vote was just out there but, you know, it's him and i can't exactly blow up on him over his work schedule because mines pretty fucked up too. CC also pretty scummy. Not even going to bother with you and DP, I'm just glad you two stopped facerolling into each other. Rise I want to think as town because of his "grand master plan" to rid the world of scum and do justice. Idk, nothing inherently scummy so far other than lurking. MrZ soup null sides that he's "too obv scum to be scum brah" argument which rubs me the wrong way but hey, it's pretty much a null tell either way. Regarding Xatalos, I'm not as sold on him as you are. Indecision is not an exclusively scummy trait, and a degree of hesitancy is necessary with this mechanic. If he never comes up with something, I'll be concerned. For now, he's pretty null for me. I'm really not sure why you think Yamato is "Yamato." In fact, he's being anything but right now given his abysmal activity I mean that Yamato in himself is an enigma all his own regardless of activity this game. I don't know what to do with him. Wut? Yamato is generally pretty obv-town when he's town. He's active, aggressive, and foams at the mouth about scum-reads. Obv-town as town? You must have not seen my newbie games with him haha. One of the scummiest towns in those games by far.
Which games in particular? Can you give me a run-down of his play in those games? Because in recent games I've seen (particularly Yet Another Normal Mini Mafia), he really flaunts a town persona.

^XXXI was my first game with him. We nearly lynched him D1 for being scummy town. The rest of the game he tunneled me with confirmation bias and he was one of my top scumreads until I figured out the scumteam during lylo (which could have included him). Glancing over the post-game you can see him being like LOL I'm so bad sorry town, etc. But yeah he was scummy all around.
In XXXII he was fairly scummy too but I got NK'd n1 so I didn't read into it much after that.
Those were his nooby games though, maybe I'll look at some more of his recent games? I just assumed he kept his scummy-town persona thing going on. I don't doubt he's improved.

Oh yeah those games. Those weren't very good lynches d00d =P
But look at his filter in those games. Look how engaged, spammy, and aggressive he is. This game... he's a shell of himself.
|
It's really hard to describe his play in those games, even when you just read them over. He was a lesser-version of Eywa, that's all I can say.

Can it all be due to a work schedule? I mean I can sympathize with that. But he's been really lurky so far and I was looking forward to him tunneling the fuck out of me.
Him backing down made me a sad panda...

Even if we dismiss the inactivity (due to RL excuses), it's the backing down that triggers the scum-alarm for me. I've never seen town Yamato back down from a scumread like that. Ever.

Does it sound legit? Trying to become a different / better / more sophisticated monocle-wearing player?
Why am I trying to defend Yamato? Lolololol
|
That's why I'm not voting him yet. I need to talk to him some more to figure out how genuine that is.
Though, I think he's scum because his behavior seems to go beyond a strategic change and into a personality change. . Basically all traces of his town-aggression are gone from his play. Perhaps this is due to inactivity, but it just seems too drastic of a change.

Btw CC, you mind building a case on Xatalos? He may be indecisive, but I don't see how it's scummy.

Tbh I think everyone was overstating my read on Xatalos. My original "case" was just a read post with vote pressure and it kind of got blown out of proportion both by myself and others.
Allow me to rationalize why his indecision struck me so: Oats as scum in XXXII. I caught him flip flopping his read on Yamato so hard and lynch him for it. Xatalos did the same thing by contradicting himself within the frame of ~20mins with only 1 post from you inbetween.
I'm starting to realize the two situations are different (as scum are more refined in these non-newbie games). But my concern stands that he's only really done that the entire game so far; saying he could be scum because this, but it could also be town. My experience with such play has been that it is scum.
Tell me: Is it different?

Man I would love to hear from Riseagain. This kind of inactivity from a player hurts and it makes it absolutely impossible to determine their alignment.
Also just reading through all the posts since I have been asleep I noticed something weird. It seems as if Jaybrundage and Xatalos have been pushing the same agenda and using very similar reasoning despite extremely limited in thread interaction.
Now I know we can't make association cases before a flip, but I thought that I would mention it in case someone else had noticed the same thing.

@ CC
Well his (Xatalos's) "flip-flop" makes sense since I was actively trying to convince him to do exactly that (in regards to DP).
I will say that I see hesitancy as a town-trait in instant-lynch setups. It's something I was advocating early on, and him being patient and willing to take time with things makes me lean town on him. He reminds me a lot of Austinmcc in GSL III Mini in terms of his approach to early-game play. I'm not concerned about his "indecision" yet. I might be if this goes on for a couple of more days though.

I can't do much if we're never lynching anybody...

Funny, but fairly irrelevant. In fact, mafia buddies often won't push the same mislynch early Day 1
Do you have any individually focused thoughts on Jay and Xatalos?

Well we're only 48 hours in. No reason to get impatient right now.
But all this talk of lynch impatience rings hollow since you haven't voted for anyone...

So when do you plan on lynching somebody?

Whenever I feel like it.
But more importantly, I'm not making a lynch decision on 17 pages of total game filter. That's just asking for fail.

We can start with you right now if you'd like. But I'd rather not, sir.
