One is his constant needling of me when I stopped paying attention to him. Scum prefer to lay low and this works directly against it, because it draws my attention. Second is his wbg case. Of all the people to build such a case on, I don't think scum Xatalos would try drawing town WBG's attention to himself like that.


how do you know I'm town?

Might as well come out with it all.

I planned on testing out my read of WBG by presenting my read on hopeless. I think hopeless is scum, and wanted to push him today and gauge WBG's reactions accordingly, especially since it seemed WBG was showing, what I perceive as, some unwarranted leniency to hopeless. Of course this is something characterized under tone, feel etc. which is why I wanted to see his response to better gauge it.

I will now field any and all questions.

nah, this is exactly what I would expect from scum slOosh.

I call you scum, vote you, and say that I will tunnel the fuck out of you unless you give reads. You see it, panic, and take lots of time to post a half-assed read of someone who you haven't mentioned all game, but happens to be one of my scumreads too, perhaps in the hope that you will get me to agree with you, drop you as a target, and lynch the other guy instead.

I think you're both scum, and that post was made as a calculated risk. Too bad your execution was shit. You die today. Hopeless dies tomorrow.

Ok I'll slowly visit WBG's posts to show the subtle moves he makes in each one, starting from the ones he made today. In fact, I think the reality is that WBG saw Hapa's case on hopeless and is using my mislynch as a diversion. He is straight out lying about calling hopeless a scumread.

anyway on a serious note:

the two who escaped lynch yesterday through that prom debacle were Lazer and Xatalos. I am more suspicious of Xatalos, considering that he wasn't around as much during lynch time. He just kinda slinked away, while Lazer at the very least was around and doing stuff. His only contributions really were asking slOosh why his opinion changed on him-very self-centric.

Hapa, thrawn, and slOosh I basically have auto-town reads on. I hope they don't turn into the sciberbias of this game. (I had an auto-town read on Prom too)

Xatalos (1): jaybrundage
Promethelax (7): slOosh, thrawn2112, grush57, MrZentor, Xatalos, Ruuch, Supersoft
Lazermonkey (1): Promethelax
Ruuch (4): Lazermonkey, wherebugsgo, Hapahauli, Hopeless1der

The bolded votes are shady. Ruuch avoided a modkill/replacement by voting right before the deadline. I think that's too close to consider that coincidence. We will have to kill him at some point and there's almost no way scum will shoot him, ever. I suppose we can push him off till later, but I know the game will come down to it at some point.

Jay, don't waste your vote tomorrow if you are town. If I die tonight and jay gets away without contributing much, please someone tunnel the fuck out of him.

Secondly, the late votes on Prom: Ruuch's is the worst. Xatalos's is also pretty bad, considering that I never actually felt that he cared about the lynch. His argument was that he preferred Prom over Lazer. Whatever. Zentor and Grush are basically either trolls or scum, and grush's contributions this game err on the side of scum for me.

In addition to all of these players we have Hopeless, who seems to be feigning reasonability to live. He doesn't seem to be very interested in finding scum, either.

So, we have at least 4-5 players who I would confidently label "antitown" and not all of them can be scum. Wonderful.


Seems like preferential treatment of hopeless. Why does he get a bye when everyone else doesn't? What the crap does the first post mean? "I want this guy to do something, or I'll push him. Tomorrow. After I might die". Do you think WBG is a guy who tolerates crappy play? Then why let hopeless get away with it?

WBG is incredibly on the fence with so many people without actually seeming to be wishy washy. He could call anyone a town read and find reason to reverse it, me being a great example. Tricky right? He is misinterpreting the situation.

If he was town he would express agreement / disagreement, particularly to Hapa's case as well. If not he would figure out a way to divert the lynch, because it would be stupid to let one of his buddies get the noose without a fight.

Lynch scum first, make associations later.



@ SloOsh

Where were you during the night cycle? You didn't post at all, despite having relatively little suspicion on you and being a vet.



@ iamp

Heya! Are you all caught up yet? Thoughts on Hopeless and/or other scumreads would be sweet.

One thing I kept in my head about slOosh was that he had two pushes, Prom and Xatalos. He dropped Xatalos rather quickly and outside of those two players he has had no comments on anything. His push on Prom was also pretty bad.

There has to be a reason super died. Super was the only person who had a public scumread on slOosh. Outside of that he called Lazer scum and he called Zentor scum.

I think slOosh needs to do something though, because if you haven't noticed, he's been laying a bit lower than what I'd feel if he were town.

This is scummy too and you have to read carefully so he doesn't pull a fast one on you.

The first sentence says my push on Prom was pretty bad. Well if it was really clear that Prom was town, why didn't he care that he was being lynched? Why did he put no effort in taking people off the mislynch? In fact, MrZentor accused him from defending Prom, and WBG retorted with confidence he had never called Prom town.

given that you haven't read the thread, this is a pretty empty accusation.

Find an instance where I called Prom town. I can guarantee you that you will not find it even without going back into my filter.

The only two players that I have really defended this game (if you can even call it that) are jay and super.

No where does he ever explain his town read on Prom, nor did he indicate that he had one. But he wants to pin this mislynch on me, even though he did nothing at the time when it was happening.

The second sentence is total WIFOM. Only scum know why they shot super, and an equally plausible explanation is that scum shot super in order to push a slOosh mislynch. It is a terrible reason to lynch someone as scum can use it for that exact reason.

No actual reasons for lynching me.

Why is it taking slOosh almost an hour to come up with these posts, but when he does, there's nothing in them?

your push on Prom WAS bad.

I left Prom alone because I wanted him to defend himself. I even said myself that I didn't plan on defending anyone. That's why I said it was bothersome that Prom wasn't defending himself. I found it strange in light of the fact that I had a town read of him-it made my confidence waver.

The whole Zentor crap was simply me stopping him from misrepresenting my play. If I wanted to defend Prom I would have, but I wanted to see his response to the case, and I wanted to see what others would do without me stepping in.

I was taking time off thread to reread carefully given the flip, and didn't have much confidence in my reads to see them worth dumping. I've had some hesitation in straight up building a case against scum WBG, given his reputation, and wanted to do the hopeless thing beforehand. With how I'm approaching my WBG case, do you disagree with my interpretation of things? Do you agree with his interpretation of things?

here's an idea: he's scrambling to come up with this garbage and failing miserably.

Look at the timestamps. If he was town and actually putting forth proper effort into this game, he would be able to refute all my points, he would be proactive about creating his reads, and he would definitely have said something pre-deadline in the case that he was going to get shot. Post-deadline, when I accuse him of being scum and vote him, he is clearly around. Look at the timestamps:

Yo, the guy you are leaning town on is set to be lynched. What are you doing?

Im poking Zentor for misrepresenting wbg's filter.

Yea ... because that's the most important thing before one of your town reads is gonna get lynched.

If I can show him to be scummier than Prom, then yes, that would be rather useful. ZENTOR, HOP TO IT


Absolutely nothing showed an effort to defend Prom or push someone else harder. He just didn't care about the lynch. Other stuff in his filter gives off wanting to be seen as useful / doing stuff.

YES DO SO NOW!

You're letting the mafia win.



For all we know all 5 mafia could be in those 8.

;(

typo or did you post 5 because you're one of them and have 5 buddies? The op tells me it's 6 mafias.


Sorry, last game I played was 5 mafia. And before you guys get on my case for an OMGUS you scum slipped, I said all 5, not 5 others.


yeah but if you're mafia that would be a likely mistake to make and I don't think a townie would post something like that without checking the OP lol.
Not sure what to make of it because people said you're anti-town no matter of alignment and I can see what they were referring to if you really are town :D


By saying a typo it refers to me being anti-town?

it refers to you being weird.

Also about the ET matter: I still disagree with people voting him, even if he's town.
Yeah I think he's somewhat likely to flip mafia but he's not a vet in my book and I don't think he should get into the mayoral position for several reasons, even if he is town:

The mayor thing is pretty much a one-time use thing. You want someone to use that lynch in a good way and not some random guy who agrees that he's not good d1.
The mayor will be shot early on UNLESS he is hurting town. So again, it's pretty much a one-time-only thing because if you're voting the right guys you'll get shot.
If you're voting the wrong guys with 2 votes instead of just 1 mafia might want to keep you alive. I don't want that either because that's bad for town as well.

So I really think we should vote a vet into the office. Yes you usually vote a vet to protect them, but that doesn't mean that we should vote some guy into the office just because there's no BGs. I find that highly suspicious. Vets are vets and they're going to be shot either way, it's not like not electing them is going to protect them from danger.

So you want a good scumhunting vet to get shot?

nah I want a good scumhuntig vet to take a mafia down with him before being shot either way.

Yeah but everyone is lurking so its going to be a guessing game at this point. So the more important issue right now is to.... POST everyone!
Look at this conversation with Toad. Toad initially points out an inconsistency in the number of scum, says Grush might be scum because he counted only 5 scum in a game that had 6 (indicating he might have 5 buddies). Grush gives actual responses, discusses it just being a typo. Doesn't just discuss himself either, but notes the lurkers, has counted posts, and says where he thinks mafia might be hiding.

Grush will occasionally call some folks scummy - + Show Spoiler +

I agree with others opinions on Wiggles in that his lynch wasn't the best choice but calling someone scum for having posts that are too long is ridiculous. Having a filter a page long isn't too bad as long as the posts have content as Wiggles seem to. Plus wiggles still has more posts than most people anyways. He's not really indecisive either, he had two ideas on who to lynch for day one and so far day 2 has barely started.


Sigh majuju, you were lurking too and now that I called out your buddy you finally unlurked. LOL SERIOUSLY TOWN NUBS STAR TPOSTING asdaSDFASDFA. Okay, I will bring up the posts. Actually just read them too much work lol.

Grush - LVI

On the whole, including pregame banter and postgame, a not quite 4 full pages of filter. Lived until endgame, which was the end of D4.


So, based only on two games and nothing else, what patterns do we see in Grush's play?
  • Town grush lived half as long as scum grush, but posted as much or more. Towngrush more posty.
  • Town grush makes real accusations sometimes, although he may not back them up with anything when asked.
  • Town grush is more likely to respond to being called scum, or to people questioning him, with actual discussion.


PokeGrush
PokeGrush's filter is a decent bit over 4 pages, after 3 full cycles (And he spent part of it banned)

Anyways, I'm not comfortable with the people looking at VE because he's playing differently. He took a LOT of crap in Mad Men for his play, some based on meta. If a lot of people want him to play differently, and he's tired of being looked at the way he is, he might just try to play differently.

I still like the idea of lynching Grush in absence of real reads, but maybe that's just a combination of me being vindictive and him being Grush. If we have a better target, obviously that would nullify it anyways.


YOU DONT ANSWER FOR VE ACTIONS, VE DOES.


You're trying to answer for my actions, you're saying it's scummy to want to policy lynch a useless poster (you), when I actually just don't want to read your posts.

This game is all about reading intentions. Sometimes that leads to a defense. Tough luck.

However when commenting on VE's play you said he wanted to play differenty and give him the benefit brohan.
Which is me questioning VE being town right now.
But all the vets aren't trying, the one who did was BC and he died, and Wiggles is playing the EXACT same way he did as scum before. When I played with WBG before and he was town he was very active, and Kenpachi could be town or scum because he is Kenpachi.

**I doctored this quote because it was split into two posts**


I could keep pulling more stuff from this game, but now I want to do something else. So instead, you should read this. You should come to your own conclusions. But if you think Grush is scum, you need some decent reasoning. Because it looks to me like he's playing much more like he did in LV than in LVI. It looks to me like there are some actual helpful posts buried in the trolling. D2 I didn't think hopeless1der was scum, but I didn't fight it hard enough, had just entered the game. D3 I didn't think VE was scum, and I should have swapped my vote from Wiggles to misder in order to try and get a switch at the end. D4 I don't think Grush is scum, and it's time to actually stand up and fight his lynch, early. I do not want scum having control of this one.



The jist of what was relevant to me was that scum-grush is rather flippant when accused, just like his response to Thrawn this game. In addition, grush' towncrumb is 100% accurate afaik, so I was kind of baiting for that as well. He's completely self-aware of this fact, but its probably no longer useful because I'm using it to explicitly coerce him now.

Since I reinforced my scumread without actually doing anything, he OMGUSed me with the reasoning that I didn't have a legitimate reason for voting him (as quoted above). Grush' activity has little to no bearing on his scumminess to me because in my experience he trolls regardless of alignment. His relative 'usefulness' is different and worth noting but is not alignment indicative. His questions and concern for the game (which is still apparent in troll-mode) are what distinguishes grush from his town/scum selves.

What I 'expected' from town-grush was closer to his response to me. His response to Thrawn was dismissive and was really the only reason I had to go after him in the first place. When I accused him, he wanted to know why I thought he was scum, seemed to want to discuss it. He's also spent time reading the thread, or at least it seems that way from his filter.

##Unvote: grush57

Like, was this really necessary? He wasn't in danger of being lynched, and he said in the post before that he might "be talking out of my ass". The meticulous follow up certainly does not match up with his previous uncertainty.

Hapa's case covers the rest.

Of course this is something characterized under tone, feel etc. which is why I wanted to see his response to better gauge it.

I will now field any and all questions.

I think you're both scum, and that post was made as a calculated risk. Too bad your execution was shit. You die today. Hopeless dies tomorrow.


Ok I'll slowly visit WBG's posts to show the subtle moves he makes in each one, starting from the ones he made today. In fact, I think the reality is that WBG saw Hapa's case on hopeless and is using my mislynch as a diversion. He is straight out lying about calling hopeless a scumread.

anyway on a serious note:

the two who escaped lynch yesterday through that prom debacle were Lazer and Xatalos. I am more suspicious of Xatalos, considering that he wasn't around as much during lynch time. He just kinda slinked away, while Lazer at the very least was around and doing stuff. His only contributions really were asking slOosh why his opinion changed on him-very self-centric.

Hapa, thrawn, and slOosh I basically have auto-town reads on. I hope they don't turn into the sciberbias of this game. (I had an auto-town read on Prom too)

Xatalos (1): jaybrundage
Promethelax (7): slOosh, thrawn2112, grush57, MrZentor, Xatalos, Ruuch, Supersoft
Lazermonkey (1): Promethelax
Ruuch (4): Lazermonkey, wherebugsgo, Hapahauli, Hopeless1der

The bolded votes are shady. Ruuch avoided a modkill/replacement by voting right before the deadline. I think that's too close to consider that coincidence. We will have to kill him at some point and there's almost no way scum will shoot him, ever. I suppose we can push him off till later, but I know the game will come down to it at some point.

Jay, don't waste your vote tomorrow if you are town. If I die tonight and jay gets away without contributing much, please someone tunnel the fuck out of him.

Secondly, the late votes on Prom: Ruuch's is the worst. Xatalos's is also pretty bad, considering that I never actually felt that he cared about the lynch. His argument was that he preferred Prom over Lazer. Whatever. Zentor and Grush are basically either trolls or scum, and grush's contributions this game err on the side of scum for me.

In addition to all of these players we have Hopeless, who seems to be feigning reasonability to live. He doesn't seem to be very interested in finding scum, either.

So, we have at least 4-5 players who I would confidently label "antitown" and not all of them can be scum. Wonderful.


Seems like preferential treatment of hopeless. Why does he get a bye when everyone else doesn't? What the crap does the first post mean? "I want this guy to do something, or I'll push him. Tomorrow. After I might die". Do you think WBG is a guy who tolerates crappy play? Then why let hopeless get away with it?

WBG is incredibly on the fence with so many people without actually seeming to be wishy washy. He could call anyone a town read and find reason to reverse it, me being a great example. Tricky right? He is misinterpreting the situation.


He takes another whole hour simply to quote mine me 3 times and then make some very half-assed comments about me apparently misrepresenting him. This is incredibly shaky.

The best part is that he doesn't accompany his now-apparent scumread of me with a vote. He doesn't have the balls to do it, because he's scum and not town.

Again, note the timestamps. A town player would not take this long to respond to a serious accusation, and they would not take that long inbetween posts just to post one or two lines of general commentary about quotes that were cherrypicked from my filter.

@ hapa

I like your case on hopeless and your right this doesn't look like the town hopeless in mario mini where he for better or worse went right into the fire with his reads. A lot more poking in this game and not that fire we usally see from hopeless.

I will wait untill he responds though before i vote

want to see what he has to say.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As for other scum reads sloosh hasn't really done anything this game and i dont really buy that he was going to push hopeless just to figure wbg seems like a flawed process to me.

Also i dont like how he never mentioned the kid i replaced at all since that was a major event in thread it seems.


im gonna sleep on it though see if i can find something more in the morning.

I was taking time off thread to reread carefully given the flip, and didn't have much confidence in my reads to see them worth dumping. I've had some hesitation in straight up building a case against scum WBG, given his reputation, and wanted to do the hopeless thing beforehand. With how I'm approaching my WBG case, do you disagree with my interpretation of things? Do you agree with his interpretation of things?


Your WBG suspicions are predicated on the following:
1) WBG is wishy-washy. I agree with this, but is WBG wishy-washy as scum? I always took him as a very aggressive character in his scum-games.
2) WBG's attitude on Hopeless is scummy. However, making associations is absurd before Hopeless actually flips.

What I'm most concerned with though is your sudden burst of "WBG is scum, here are all the reasons why!" You had all night to push him and question him, yet you did not do so. Instead, the second WBG votes you, you start flinging posts left and right about how he's your top scumread and how he's so scummy. The timing of all of this is incredibly convenient.

I was going to push hopeless because he was my scum read, and the push itself was designed to give me a read on WBG. I wasn't pushing hopeless for the sole reason to get a reaction from WBG, it was an additional reason.

I was taking time off thread to reread carefully given the flip, and didn't have much confidence in my reads to see them worth dumping. I've had some hesitation in straight up building a case against scum WBG, given his reputation, and wanted to do the hopeless thing beforehand. With how I'm approaching my WBG case, do you disagree with my interpretation of things? Do you agree with his interpretation of things?


Your WBG suspicions are predicated on the following:
1) WBG is wishy-washy. I agree with this, but is WBG wishy-washy as scum? I always took him as a very aggressive character in his scum-games.
2) WBG's attitude on Hopeless is scummy. However, making associations is absurd before Hopeless actually flips.

What I'm most concerned with though is your sudden burst of "WBG is scum, here are all the reasons why!" You had all night to push him and question him, yet you did not do so. Instead, the second WBG votes you, you start flinging posts left and right about how he's your top scumread and how he's so scummy. The timing of all of this is incredibly convenient.


Because my suspicions were on supersoft but his flip changed my reads around.

1) If being wishy washy let's him play to push scum agenda, why not? Just because you perceive that he may have a "preferred playstyle" doesn't mean he is limited to playing to it, would it?

2) His attitude on Hopeless is scummy regardless of Hopeless' alignment because as town you don't give certain players preferential treatment just for kicks, and for someone who doesn't tolerate bad play as much as WBG it is especially out of character. There is more scum motivation for treating someone special than there is town.

auto townread = I almost didn't bother carefully reading their posts.

One thing I kept in my head about slOosh was that he had two pushes, Prom and Xatalos. He dropped Xatalos rather quickly and outside of those two players he has had no comments on anything. His push on Prom was also pretty bad.

There has to be a reason super died. Super was the only person who had a public scumread on slOosh. Outside of that he called Lazer scum and he called Zentor scum.

I think slOosh needs to do something though, because if you haven't noticed, he's been laying a bit lower than what I'd feel if he were town.

This is scummy too and you have to read carefully so he doesn't pull a fast one on you.

The first sentence says my push on Prom was pretty bad. Well if it was really clear that Prom was town, why didn't he care that he was being lynched? Why did he put no effort in taking people off the mislynch? In fact, MrZentor accused him from defending Prom, and WBG retorted with confidence he had never called Prom town.

Hey WBG, you talked about nobody being worthy enough to be defended by you, but you've been defending Prom pretty hard all game.

Can you explain?


given that you haven't read the thread, this is a pretty empty accusation.

Find an instance where I called Prom town. I can guarantee you that you will not find it even without going back into my filter.

The only two players that I have really defended this game (if you can even call it that) are jay and super.

Why does prom not care about getting lynched?

This whole thing bothers me

No where does he ever explain his town read on Prom, nor did he indicate that he had one. But he wants to pin this mislynch on me, even though he did nothing at the time when it was happening.

The second sentence is total WIFOM. Only scum know why they shot super, and an equally plausible explanation is that scum shot super in order to push a slOosh mislynch. It is a terrible reason to lynch someone as scum can use it for that exact reason.

No actual reasons for lynching me.


your push on Prom WAS bad.

I left Prom alone because I wanted him to defend himself. I even said myself that I didn't plan on defending anyone. That's why I said it was bothersome that Prom wasn't defending himself. I found it strange in light of the fact that I had a town read of him-it made my confidence waver.

The whole Zentor crap was simply me stopping him from misrepresenting my play. If I wanted to defend Prom I would have, but I wanted to see his response to the case, and I wanted to see what others would do without me stepping in.

Why was my push on Prom bad, and how is that equivalent to scummy?

Welp. This is a lot to digest right now. I'll have to sleep on this some and see what I come up with tomorrow.

Between Hopeless and WBG, who do you think is more likely to flip scum?
