I completely disagree. We have time, and we should use it. If you're town, you shouldn't have motivation problems finding scum. If we end up going for like 5 days or something, I'd sympathize with this, but 3-4 days is completely standard in every insta-lynch game I've played (atleast on Day 1). Forcing ourselves to abide by some arbitrary lynch deadline is pretty much the worst thing you can do. We have time, and we should use it. It is easy to overuse it to the point that we're harming ourselves. There is a correct amount of time required to make a decent lynch. If we decide now that days should be at least 72 hours, I'm afraid certain people (like you) will feel the need to lengthen a particular day, just for sake of having more time and abiding by this rule, even though it doesn't really help us. If you're town, you shouldn't have motivation problems finding scum. That's simply not always true. Many times a townie will stop hunting because nobody else is receptive to their ideas, they feel they found scum but everybody is too obstinate to listen to them. This is just one example. There is a plethora of reasons for why a townie might not have motivation to find scum. I'd sympathize with this, but 3-4 days is completely standard in every insta-lynch game I've played (atleast on Day 1) I don't really care what's standard. We should lynch when we as a whole feel ready to. It's stupid to wait extra time, just to abide by the "standard." | ||

It's unlikely that scum will want to have the final vote on somebody, because it will put them under a lot of scrutiny. | ||

Mafia's agenda is to stall discussion and create confusion - both of these goals are achieved by faster lynches where less players can offer their opinions. From my point of view, the above post is pushing Mafia agenda. This post basically repeats what was already said in the previous post...

Who would have thought so in the first place, really? Another post that doesn't fit into town agenda. Regardless of the trollish appearance, this post actually gives MrZentor more breathing room if he just joins a bandwagon without good reasoning later on. He told he would do so after all, didn't he? More fluff... So far there's nothing townish in MrZentor's filter, and too much useless/anti-town stuff to be overlooked. If he's town, he needs to change his playstyle completely. If he's Mafia, he needs to continue on his current path and convince us he can't be town. Mr. Cheesecake Who was he again? I only remembered him after rereading the thread a couple of times. He hasn't actually taken stances on anything that matters (not counting obvious stuff like "we should lynch the scummiest player"). What I'm most worried about is his complete lack of presence - he's basically casually lurking without being too obvious. I'm unwilling to judge him yet, but he isn't looking good so far. jaybrundage This is his whole filter. It's certainly... lacking, for a lack of better word. First he speculates a bit about blue roles, then gives a list of vague of his policy opinions, then leaves. It's just all too vague and pointless for my liking. What's up with this lack of effort, interest, anything really? Some players have been very active so far and it's definitely a good theme in this game. But some players (like these 3 above) have done practically nothing, even if they have posted. That should be some reason for concern to anyone. Additional discussion time benefits town and damages Mafia. Mafia's agenda is to stall discussion and create confusion - both of these goals are achieved by faster lynches where less players can offer their opinions. From my point of view, the above post is pushing Mafia agenda. Up to a certain point, additional discussion time benefits town, obviously. But a lot of people seem to think that more time is ALWAYS good for town. They don't realize that after a certain point, not being able to lynch somebody, because of all this extra time, hurts town. Just because you disagree with something doesn't mean it's pushing Mafia agenda. K? This post basically repeats what was already said in the previous post... Plus some obvious setup talk that anyone could post, no matter their alignment. It's quite unnecessary to mention that his "faster lynches plan" is a guideline and not a strictly enforced rule.

The easiest thing for them to do is recycle reasons while adding a few pointless one of their owns for joining a bandwagon. Also, mafia wouldn't want to have the hammer vote. | ||

Well, I'm not really sure how MrZentor is so easy to read... I'm having extreme difficulties reading him. And I've played with him in two games before too. It shouldn't be too hard to fake some joke posts, right? Especially with his general low activity and lack of any content. 1. I make myself so easy to read by doing a lot of things mafia would be hesitant to do, things that are so obviously scummy that mafia have a lot of difficulty actually doing them. Look at the first day in Witchcraft Mafia for an example. 2. I get more active and generally create more content as time goes on and town gets more information. Again, I'd like to cite Witchcraft Mafia as an example. How many times have you been scum in forum mafia, Xatalos? | ||

Lurking is fucking shit, even more so in this setup. If you lurk that will make me want to lynch you. The thing that is hurting this game the most right now is lurking. So why are you not saying anything about lurking? In fact the only time you have 'pressured' people is when another player first comments on them. Shiao Pi with Riseagain and myself with Yamato. That is quite distinct to what you did in witchcraft for example, which was push people on your own regardless of the positions of others, make a strong case and ask people to judge that on it's merits. Posts like these make me think he is town. He's one of the more difficult people to read, so I think it would be best to wait a day before lynching him. | ||

I knew that all the posts in which he was making excuses for why he couldn't post later on could have been scum motivated and probably were, but I decided to ignore it at the time. Those posts and you thinking he might be scum have made him a null read. | ||

Reading people like this will give you a lot more town reads than scum reads, but in a game like this, being able to find town is nearly as helpful as finding scum, because it makes finding scum much easier by narrowing down the pool of suspects. | ||

Mr. CC + Show Spoiler + He's probably town, and there are two main reasons for me to think that. 1. He's carefree and open, especially during the opening of the game. On January 04 2013 12:14 Mr. Cheesecake wrote: Mr.Z we're masoned you dummy. ShiaoPi obv scum right? On January 05 2013 10:19 Mr. Cheesecake wrote: Hey yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah, I said HEY! What's going on?! Home from my shift and such. Reading the shitfest that is DP-Hapa (kind of sounds like a porno) interaction atm and catching up. Questions, people, questions. Anyone? On January 05 2013 12:58 Mr. Cheesecake wrote: Oh hey Hapa whats up. I need someone to talk to. Wanna cuddle? What you think of Yamato going full retard right now? 2. Two of the other suspects targeted him early in the game. Although it is possible one of them was faking this aggression, it is unlikely, because of all the risks that come with it. If the scum faking aggression toward Mr.CC gets lynched and doesn't do a good job of faking it, then it will be obvious that Mr. CC is scum with him. On January 05 2013 12:37 yamato77 wrote: Do people really think it was that difficult to understand what I said? Anyway CC your case is bad and I think you're faking this read. I don't think Xatalos is that scummy, but he is an easy target. CC is scummy. ##Vote: Mr Cheesecake Mr. Cheesecake Who was he again? I only remembered him after rereading the thread a couple of times. He hasn't actually taken stances on anything that matters (not counting obvious stuff like "we should lynch the scummiest player"). What I'm most worried about is his complete lack of presence - he's basically casually lurking without being too obvious. I'm unwilling to judge him yet, but he isn't looking good so far. From Xatalos. It is possible that he is scum with ShiaoPi, but I find this unlikely considering his early game behavior. Yamato + Show Spoiler + His early game play seems a lot like an earnest, noobie townie. On January 04 2013 16:41 yamato77 wrote: I'm not sure how the logic is strange. You told me it was difficult to think in IRC because there was no time. You advocate making longer, more thought out decisions in this game because of the instant lynch mechanic. I don't know why you guys think this is a big deal. On January 04 2013 17:32 yamato77 wrote: What is disproportionate responsibility? I think there's plenty of reason to give the hammer more look than other votes. It is the act of making the decision to lynch someone, it makes the player into the executioner. The use of the hammer vote is perhaps the most important thing in this game. You said so yourself and now you seem to disagree with me? Why? On January 06 2013 00:06 yamato77 wrote: I will admit I'm not paying as much attention to this game as I should. Honestly my vote on CC was to get a better read on him. Up to that point I thought he was a bit scummy so I figured his reaction to me voting for him out of nowhere might reveal to me his alignment. It turns out it didn't, but some of the things he has said since then have swayed my opinion. I'm fairly confident in Hapa being town, so as far as active scum I don't think there are any. Jay is the only one I would question because his posts have a quality that makes them seem quiet, almost like his opinion isn't something to be valued. Is he scum trying to stay under the radar or just a weak townie? No I'm much more inclined to think a scum lies between Mr Zentor and Rise. Zentor hasn't contributed much besides a lot of setup talk and town reads. His filter is low content, low profile, very much like I think the scum are this game. Rise simply hasn't posted much since the beginning if the game and it is starting to make me question his motivations. Also, the way he pushes me makes me think he's a noob townie. I would expect newer players to think I'm scum, because of a lot of the things I do are obviously scummy. On January 06 2013 17:58 yamato77 wrote: Mr Zentor He's only given a lot of town reads and acted impatient about lynching people. His filter is full of one liners that provide little reasoning for what he wants to do this game aside from Lynch people. He seems more preoccupied with there being a lynch than who is going to be lynched. He hasn't helped town find who they should lynch, either. Hapa says he's a bored townie but he looks like a scum just waiting for an excuse to hammer a townie lynch. Xatalos + Show Spoiler + He is pretty uptight, but he makes some good points in his massive cases; he and ShiaoPi are equally likely to be scum. Well, for starters, I think you're most likely town. I can't believe a Mafia would outpost everyone in the thread and engage in every possible topic. Does that make DarthPunk Mafia in my eyes? Not really. I agree with many things he says, and his filter just reads fairly townish to me - this post for example: In any case, I'm pretty satisfied with your responses. Your counter-arguments to my (pretty weak) arguments for your scumminess are what I'd expect from a townie: calm, collected, reasonable. Combined with Hapahauli's recommendation to wait on you, I don't see you as a good lynch at the moment. Welcome, Z-Boson! I'm glad you're being very townish and contributive so far, which means we have one less player out of the lynching table (I didn't like lynching RiseAgain either, but this is a much easier judgement than that). ShiaoPi + Show Spoiler + Either he or Xatalos is scum, I'm not sure which. It's pretty unlikely that they're both scum, considering how they both made cases on why the other is scum. He parks his vote on a lurker. On January 05 2013 12:14 ShiaoPi wrote: Hmm looks like RiseAgain has still not responded.... Anyway moving onto the matters more at hand for now. I don't think that DP or Hapa are scum, it feels much more like townies at each others throats for minor things. While I can see where both are coming from during the exchange I does kind of worry me that DP does not follow up with a vote as Hapa does. Does not seem to fit when he calls him scum more than once earlier. @Mr.CC Xatalos is kind of a lynchbait in itself. He is not that easy to read (at least for me), but what I have seen so far from him does not really convince me on his scumminess. From time to time he does these 180-turns but usually it is because he lays his entire thoughtprocess out and therefore every nook and turn of his mind is in the thread. He is nullish right now. I want to see more from RiseAgain, so ##Vote: RiseAgain get in here and do something please! ![]() But he also waffles over Xatalos, which makes me think he could be town. On January 06 2013 17:15 ShiaoPi wrote: Okay finally got some time to give out some thoughts. First off welcome Z-Boson, good to have a active replacement! Moving on to some housekeeping: DP's reactions since I was gone seem to me pretty townie, by extension Hapa seems town as well with the entire thoughtprocess behind tunneling being revealed. So I am retracting my scum-leaning read that I had on DP earlier. I am interested currently in these people: yamato Xatalos MrZ yamato: There are many things which would probably be me reiterating stuff that was mentioned (discrepancy in behaviour as hapa said). Not being really present, throwing votes around with little reasoning. But that can be explained by his lack of time due to RL business. could really use more analysis and reasoning from him. Xatalos: I said earlier that Xatalos is a lynchbait. That is because he is hesitating a lot, laying out a lot of his thoughts in the thread and therefore opening himself up for harsh critique if he changes his mind and posts it. His lack of any stance is alarming though. While it is somewhat just his playstyle (IIRC) I still dislike it a lot, I mean day 1 has been going for quite a long time now already, while we did not get more information through lynching there is still a lot of content to search through and find something. MrZ: He is useless, which is stupidly just his meta with the lightheartedness he has shown. I don't like useless people but cannot condemn him based on this. Actually I started this post with wanting to lynch into Xata/yamato preferrably yamato but now that I am writing those reads feel just unsatisfying...There is nothing really much that distinguishes one option from the other. I am reluctant to lynch yamato since he seems legitimately busy, also relcutant to lynch Xata for just playing as he does (same goes for MrZ). Somehow this day 1 has not been really productive >_> Who we should lynch. + Show Spoiler + I don't know which one we should lynch, but I know what we should do if each one is lynched. .....................................Xatalos.................................................................................................Shiaopi............ ................................../.....................\........................................................................................./..........\............ ........................flips scum..........flips town..................................................................flips scum.....flips town........................... ...........................|............................|............................................................................./...............................\.................................. ......find scum partner..............lynch Shia.....................................................lynch MrCC..............lynch Xatalos-.flips.scum ..... ................................................../............\....................................................../..................\..............................|........................| .....................................flips town......flips scum.............................flips scum............flips town...........flips town.......find scum ....................................|.................................|.....................................|............................|........................../.......................partner ...start suspecting people......................lynch MrCC....................win..............start suspecting people.................... ...like Hapa and Boson............................/...............\.........................................like Hapa and Boson ..........................................................flips scum.......flips town........................................................................................... ........................................................./............................|................................................................... ....................................................win...................start suspecting people..................................... ............................................................................like Hapa and Boson..................................... | ||

That leaves two out of ShiaoPi, mrZ, yamato and jay. I don't know why you'd keep two obviously townie players in there. | ||

I know you're town, but wasting your time accusing me, even though quite a few other townies KNOW I'm not scum, is foolish. Go pressure somebody who is actually scum. | ||

Yes, I'm ignoring many aspects of his play, because many aspects of his play don't actually tell me anything about whether he's scum or not. They just aren't important. Just the fact that you think I'm scum proves that you're the one "taking weak tells and making them very strong, whilst ignoring many aspects" of my play.

I tell you that everybody knows I'm town to show you that you're wrong and wasting your time. | ||

In Witchcraft Mafia, if I wasn't able to convince people DYH was scum within the 48 hour day, he wouldn't die. I had to actively push my scum reads. In British Empire Mini Mafia, the days only end when a lynch has occurred. Because of this mechanic, all I have to do is make sure that when we lynch, we lynch one of my scum reads. I can passively push my scum reads and still be successful, due to the mechanics of this game. I hope that explains my change in play. ![]() | ||

Sure, I wanted to kill Yama first, but if other people want to kill Dandel first, that's fine. Obviously I'm indifferent as to which one dies because they're both scum. In Witchcraft Mafia, DYH was pretty obviously mafia, so I had one scum read. In this game, I had a much easier time finding town than scum, so of course I would discover the two scum at once through process of elimination. I don't see why me having two scum reads as opposed to one is important to you? | ||

As town our main priority is to hunt scum. Unfortunately, we have had some trouble doing this successfully, so I'm writing this to show how I'm going to hunt scum in this post and why it is more accurate than how we have been doing it by explaining the mindset of scum. Also, knowing how scum act enables us to find other townspeople. The way we've been scumhunting is exactly how we shouldn't be scumhunting. We've established a certain set of arbitrary rules and said that anybody who breaks these rules is pushing scum's objectives and is therefore scum. The problem with this is that scum can still easily push their objective(staying alive while lynching townies) by obeying these rules. Scum can easily win by simply waiting for a frustrated townie to break one of these arbitrary rules, lynching said townie, and waiting for another townie to do the same. So if we want to actually want to find scum, we should look back over the thread and try to find people who have been careful to not break any of these rules so that they would remain out of the spotlight. Some of the Arbitrary Rules Townies Created in This Game (And why they're stupid) + Show Spoiler + -A longer day is always better for townie than a shorter one. Anybody who says different is pushing mafia agenda and is probably scum. (It's a fact that townies will lose interest over time if we make the day too long. Would having a two year day be good? No, because all the townspeople will have forgotten about the game by then. This just proves that there is a point at which having more time in a day is detrimental to town.) Also, it is extremely easy for scum to say that they want a long day. -Having indecision over who to lynch or saying that they would be fine with lynching anybody in a certain pool of suspects is clearly scum behavior. (Scum can pretend to have as many or as few suspects as they want, but townies have much less control over who they want to lynch.) -Not having a lot of "content" in their posts is a sign that somebody is scum.(It's extremely easy for scum to ramble on about why person x is scum; townspeople, on the other hand, have to actually find somebody they believe to be scum, which can be difficult, especially during the first few days. I.E. It's easier for scum to create what you guys consider "content" than town.) -There are a lot more, but I think you get the point. The main job of a scum is to survive. A lot of people seem to think that scum have to actively push their objectives to win, but that isn't true. By staying alive, scum is hurting town. Scum stay alive by hiding in plain sight; each of their posts has to be written carefully, because if they accidentally break one of arbitrary rules or do anything to stand out, they're going to get lynched. They have to always be on guard. (We've been lynching people who have stood out, but the scum are in the group of players hiding in plain sight.) Scum do not want to associate with each other; they only do it when necessary. Any interaction between them has to be faked, and, if they do it poorly and one of them is lynched, then the other will soon be lynched also. Interaction is risky, and scum hate to take risks. If you see prolonged interaction between two people that seems genuine, they are either town or exceptionally good scum players. Because of this behavior, there are two important things you should look for when deciding whether somebody is scum or town. ..-Is this person trying to blend in with town?Yes=Scum, No=Town ....-Are they being careful to not break any of the arbitrary rules? ....-Are they always going after popular lynch targets, while never bringing up any controversial lynch target? ....-Are most of their posts them rambling on about why a certain person is mafia, while never bringing up new points? ..-Are their posts genuine?Yes=Town, No=Scum ....-Are they ever brutally honest to somebody or themselves? ....-Do they joke or always seem at ease? Now that we've learned how to differentiate town from scum, let's put it to use by determining the alignments of Jay, MrZ, Yamato, and DP. (Yaayyayay!!) Jay Jay is a (kind of nooby) townsperson who has a lot of genuine posts; he makes a few cases to try to get his point across, but he also spends a lot of time joking. Some of his genuine posts.

And I like him a lot. <3 MrZentor Here's my filter from my last scum game. In this game, I actually tried to emulate my town play, but I simply couldn't. I was always afraid to post and joke, and without even realizing it, I followed the arbitrary rules that town made up in that game. Here's my filter from my last town game. Here's my filter from this game. Which two are the most similar? Yamato There are two main reasons for why Yamato is scum. 1) He is far too serious. He never jokes; he doesn't have any genuine posts. He plays exactly like a scum surrounded by a group of people who could kill him at any moment, extremely cautiously. Unfortunately, I can't quote his lack of genuine or non-serious posts, so here's his filter. I dare you to try to find any genuine or non-serious post. 2) His reasons for attacking me and Xatalos's lynch. Look at these post from Yamato. On January 06 2013 17:58 yamato77 wrote: Mr Zentor He's only given a lot of town reads and acted impatient about lynching people. His filter is full of one liners that provide little reasoning for what he wants to do this game aside from Lynch people. He seems more preoccupied with there being a lynch than who is going to be lynched. He hasn't helped town find who they should lynch, either. Hapa says he's a bored townie but he looks like a scum just waiting for an excuse to hammer a townie lynch. On January 06 2013 18:06 yamato77 wrote: Apathy about who is lynched, less scum hunting than Xatalos, less reasoning posted than Xatalos, more trollish nature to his posting. Plus he's advocated the idea that we should limit our discussions in favor of making a decision on a lynch which is a scum favored idea. This is textbook scum behavior. He says that I am scum because I broke the following arbitrary rules created by town: 1) Making the day as long as possible is good for town, anybody who says otherwise is scum. 2) Not posting content means you're scum. 3) If you don't know who to lynch (which will come across as being apathetic), you're scum. But Yamato, like the good little scum he is, was cautious and didn't break any of these rules. Then he kills Xatalos.

The dude doesn't really care where he votes, he gives weak justifications and has continually changed his reads over the course of the game on a moment's notice to fit his agenda. It's enough for me to see him hang. ##Vote: Xatalos That's fine and all, I had a scum read on Xatalos myself, but look at how he responds to the pressure on him cause by Xatalos's mislynch. On January 08 2013 06:00 yamato77 wrote: I think I made it abundantly clear why I wanted to lynch Xatalos. Contrary to DP's idea of him not changing his play to suit town's opinion being a town tell, I found it frustrating and ultimately scummy. Perhaps I was overly emotional in my decision to hammer him but I was fairly convinced he was scum. I voted after Zentor even though I have been suspicious of him because he wasn't the hammer vote like he said he would be. Everyone else seems to find him fitting his town meta so I thought he might actually have thought Xatalos was scum for the reasons I did. Apparently this as not the case because his reaction to the lynch was to downplay the fact that it was a mislynch. Obviously I was correct in my read of Zentor not caring about who he lynches. I thought that because he wasn't the hammer that it meant he actually had a scum read on him but apparently he just wanted to see a lynch happen. I'll be on for the next seven hours or so sporadically. First he says that not caring about what town thinks of you is scummy. *facepalm* Then he says "Well, I thought MrZ was town, so I sheeped him, but Xatalos ended up being town, so I guess that means MrZ is scum and he doesn't care who he lynches." He says I don't care who I lynch, even though I didn't even lynch anybody. HE DID -.- Also, Z-Bo is scum, but I guess I can prove that after we kill Yamato. I was going to also contrast how Jay and I interact, and how Yama and Z-Boson interact, but I'm lazy. | ||

I'm pushing for Yamato's lynch. So the only way I'm scum is if I'm being bussed or bussing somebody. And there's really no reason for scum to bus in a game in which there are 2 scum. Can I join the confirmed town club now? :p Or at least the "ProbablytownbutIguessthere'sasmallchancehe'sactuallyscumsoIwillputhiminhisownspecialcategory" club. | ||

Also looking at this im surprised that no one else find this to be scummy. When asked by Dandel Ion how many mislynchs Zentor thinks he can get away with. Zentor responds with two or three. HE KNEW IT WAS A MISLYNCH. HE DIDN'T EVEN ACT LIKE HE THOUGHT DANDEL WAS SCUM. Also he states THAT WHEN HAPA CATCHES ON THAT HES PLAYING DIFFERENTLY THIS GAME THEN LAST GAME. HE WILL GET CAUGHT..... HE IS PRACTICALLY CLAIMING SCUM HERE. I hope you know that that post was sarcastic. XD | ||

Boson, Yamato, Mr. CC, and DP think you're scum. If I voted for you, like you're voting for me, you would die, and I would live.

Two of the four MrZ, Jay, Yamato, and Z-Boson are scum. If you are scum, you are going to vote for the two townspeople, because if you say you will vote for your scum buddy and another townsperson, and people want to lynch your scum buddy, you will be forced to bus him. If you don't vote for him, it will be obvious that you were scum just bluffing that you would vote for your scum buddy. Because the two scum would vote for the two townpeople, they would vote for the same people. Now look at who these people have last said they think is mafia. Boson thinks Jay/MrZ Yamato thinks Jay/MrZ Jay thinks MrZ/Boson MrZ knows Yamato/Z-Boson Note that Boson and Yamato are the only people accusing the same people, just like scum would do. (Although they haven't actually voted yet, by accusing these people, they are setting themselves up to vote for one of those people.) | ||

I knew you didn't have the guts to lynch your scum buddy. You said the scum team was probably Z/Z, but now you're backing out. I would humor him and lynch Z-Bo but why take the risk? What if jay/zentor is the scum team? Then town loses. You want to lynch MrZ but why take the risk? What if Z-Bo and Jay is the scum team? Then town loses. You could say that about anything; you have a terrible excuse for not wanting to lynch Z-Bo anymore. You still have a chance to redeem yourself; you can still agree to lynch Z-Bo tomorrow. | ||

It's far more suspicious that he is so convinced of Jay's towniness that he, if town, would risk losing the game straight up to jay/yamato scum team just to lynch Z-Boson. You do realize that whoever I lynch, there is a possible scum team you can make that doesn't lose a member, right?
