Now martyring.... I don't think any sane town would hide most of their reads and then stop posting like that. This only kills discussion and makes this day less useful. As town, he would at least try to make this day more useful. Clearly that's not the case here.

Oh yeah, that's certainly possible.

I think WBG's whole attitude to the D2 lynch was townish and it's one of the biggest reasons I now think he's town. He certainly did some scummy things during D1 but his efforts during D2 more than make up for it. It's especially stupid to think he's scum based on how he acted during D2. He was basically leading the discussion and organizing the lynch to give maximum information.

It's really saddening how lurky this game is. Several players (grush, MrZentor) have literally done nothing all game... And most players are posting less and less frequently. Although I guess it also has something to do with how unanimous (=boring) today's vote is.

I can't tell whether Lazer being dumb is him being scum or not.

Anyway some of my reasons to switch votes were lazy or waffly (or deceptive even) but I did want both slOosh and Hopeless to stay relevant lynches. I could have said nothing at all and I would have done the vote switches anyway.

That's why, for example, my vote was on Hopeless for the majority of the time. He was consistently behind in votes. If I swapped over to slOosh at a bad time then it would make a Hopeless lynch less likely, because a net 2 vote switch is likely to scare off all the noobs into making real stances.

If you're town and can't understand why I would want a close lynch, and why I would be interested in forcing scum to take sides like that, then I'd suggest you reread Ver's town guide.


So, how am I being dumb if your reason for voting someone is deceptive(even from your own PoV)?

I can buy that you wanted to hold the voting close. But that isn't a very relevant part of the case anyway. For example, it doesn't explain the fact that you first say that hopeless looks much better after his post + the fact that he played similar to this last game as town and then moments later say that he is just as scummy SlOosh. It also doesn't explain the fact that you didn't push Hopeless at all during the day, while you were pushing SlOosh like no tomorrow.


This is pretty much based on WBG trying to save his scumbuddy Hopeless, I guess. If Hopeless flips town, is WBG still scum in your mind? What makes WBG scum outside of this connection?

Who is scum if Hopeless flips scum? What if he flips town? This is just a complete waste of time holding reads until N3.

Yeah, there's no way scum would reveal themselves by resisting a lynch with such huge support. I would bus really hard right now in their shoes. It's a lost cause even attempting to save Hopeless at this point.

Hopeless flipping scum would obviously make WBG look much worse. But even then, it doesn't actually explain some stuff. WBG doesn't actually PUSH Hopeless at all. Just look at his filter. He is only pushing SLOosh. Even when voting Hopeless, he is pushing SlOosh. He dissmisses all my accusations with that he wanted to keep the voting close. I do agree with that keeping the voting close is a nice thing to do as town, however its not a very relevant part of my case at all. I'm not pushing him for the fact THAT he swapped his vote, but rather how he did it.

Now, ask youself this. Almost ALL day, SlOosh was leading in votes. If WBG really did want to keep the voting close and were fine with both Hopeless and SlOosh lynches, why did he push SlOosh and not Hopeless?

Also, Look at SlOosh last analytical post, he has some good points on WBG as well. WBG is scum for me no matter what Hopeless flips.


It made me suspicious of WBG earlier how he had called almost everyone scum at some point, but mostly just posted lists with 3-5 scum suspects (being fine with lynching any of them). That was a really vague and scummy way to approach the lynches. Your point about him pushing Sloosh and not focusing on Hopeless is actually more townish in itself than being vague and open about the choice. Of course it can be considered as helping his scumbuddy, although that's pretty blatant and risky as well. All in all I'd say that Hopeless flipping scum makes WBG look a bit worse, but not scummy enough to be lynch-worthy considering his overall behaviour during D2. He was basically the leading poster and thread pusher for the whole day. It's really hard to imagine for scum to take so much responsibility over the discussion.

Do explain!


If we assume that WBG is town (so he has no information about the alignments of Sloosh or Hopeless), it feels natural to push one of the main lynch candidates over the other one. It would in fact feel unnatural to just be indifferent about which one of them gets lynched as town.

Then don't you think its strange that WBG is trying to get cred because he tried hard to make the lynch as close as possible while he was actually pushing towards the opposite?

He did state quite explicit that he HAD them both down as scum and that he did in fact feel indifferent about who to lynch. Yet he chose only to push SlOosh even tho Hopeless was behind in votes almost all day.


Well, the end result WAS close. With Hapa pushing Hopeless so hard, I can see it being more useful to push Sloosh, even if it made no big difference to him personally. I'm just trying to see the town logic here, and I think it's more likely than openly helping out his scumbuddy. Although that's a possible scenario, but it depends completely on Hopeless flipping scum, and even then it means WBG was playing very greedily by openly saving his scumbuddy.

Well, I'm not moving my vote away from Hopeless. Looks like many were moved by his case against Lazermonkey, but it's mostly just repeating dead townies' posts and WIFOMing. Not actually pointing out something genuinely new or worthwhile. I have to admit that Hopeless didn't just give up and die, which would have been the most scummy way to react, but his current actions aren't that much better.

Btw MrZentor, don't you have absolutely anything to say? You're the only confirmed town here so you could easily push the discussion but you aren't even posting for a long time.

Hopeless, you realise that a good move as town would be to actually give YOUR reads on ALL people in this situation?

After the responses I've been getting all game? Nah I'll be indignant and obnoxious thank you. Less rage inducing for me.
Wait, you don't care about the game? But then why take the time to even post this? Why take the time to write a case on both me and Hapa? It doesn't actually matter about what response you will get. Its not only about you avoiding to get lynched anymore but also about you giving town reads we can trust to 100%.

If the town can't figure out my town reads based on my filter when I flip...I just... I don't even. I'm not kind of scummy on you and hapa, you're strong reads, so giving town reads on the rest of the player base is redundant
Some of your town reads are from daaays ago. And for some of them you don't even give any reasoning what so ever. That isn't very helpfull at all. Do you think you are helping town by just sitting here doing jack shit instead?

Please look at the way Lazer is pushing me here. There are a finite number of scum in the game. I STRONGLY believe I've pegged two. At most I've missed one. Lazer's accusations suggest I need to give extensive town reads because they'll be beneficial. Bullshit. My town reads are inherent in the fact that they aren't scumreads. The current "exception" is xata/bugs. I think the scumteam is LM Hapa WBG at the moment.
Dude, I'm not even pushing you any longer. I am saying that it is insanely likely that you will die in about one hour and IF you for some reason actually is town instead of scum, the good news for us is that we know everything you have said has been comming from a townie.

If you actually want town to win, you should have realised that by now and start to read filters in order to give out as good reads of every player in the game as you possibly can. You haven't lost the game just because you got lynched and helping us by giving out reads to the best of your ability should be your priority 1 right now.

But owell, If you dont feel like giving out reads, it means you are most likely scum anyways. And I don't feel like arguing with scum about stuff like this.

Its LYLO tomorrow. Town reads are meaningless.


Scumreads are more useful than townreads, but townreads are more useful than no reads at all. Surely you could understand this if you were town.

So your current scumteam is Hapa, Lazermonkey, iamperfection? At least that's what I managed to translate from your filter. Your filter has very little reasoning though and absolutely nothing about why iamperfection is scum.

With that said, I don't like Hapa's play in this game either. He's barely even mentioned anyone but Hopeless since D1... I don't see both Hopeless and Hapa being scum though. If Hopeless happens to flip town, Hapa's scumminess level will rise significantly at the same time.

Is also drastically out of place because he's half buddying sloosh while calling him scum and also, Sloosh has never exhibited suspicion towards Zentor, showing SS is not reading the thread. complete meaningless. I just wanted something to talk about with sloosh. My vote never is graved in stone.

He was scum in LC and Mario mini. Town recently in WC and British.

Thrawn. I came into the thread late because of work, I posted a bad post because I felt I had to post and get into the thread. It was dumb. I don't think I am a victim. I didn't want to push the SS wagon hard anymore as I had a scummier scum read, I knew that the wagon would fall apart without me (have you ever seen Hopeless push a wagon well? Or scum Lazer?).

I seriously don't understand people who sheep me. Which is why I questioned it. Last game I had you down as somewhat scummy and you kept not presenting the reasons for my play being 'anti-town' this game you just called be scum but without evidence. I can't refute you calling me scum. Now that you have some reasons I can refute those. They are wrong. My first post was bad but nothing I have done is scummy. I changed my mind on SS and Xat because I looked them over more. Sorry.

I'm out for the night for real for real this time. I'm going to read dump since you guys might lynch me and I'd like to be somewhat useful to town before I go.

Town:
SloOsh: early interactions with Bugs and the casual tones in This post
Hopeless: too trolly early on for scum hopeless, I don't like his play but it seems consistent with his town play.
Grush: STARSENSES

Do not lynch yet:
Thrawn I had him down as town earlier, he was trying to figure things out. This shitty case on me needs to be looked at again though.
Hapa: not enough from Hapa yet for me to call him scum. My gut says scum but I don't have any reason to believe it.

Null:
MrZ and Jay (I really just ignore them until later) Bugs (me no able to read him)

Would lynch:
Xat
Ruuch
SS

Scum:
LM



Thrawn was not willing to support my wagon:

few things about hopeless that make me not want to vote for him:

his exchange with hapa about why either of them voted for ruuch.

hopeless was making much more sense, and actually made me more suspicious of hapa. hapa was the one who abandoned his scumread (prom) to vote for ruuch. hopeless was voting for ruuch because ruuch wasn't prom, who hopeless had made it clear he didn't want to get lynch. yet hapa is calling out hopeless for what reason?

also the hopeless wagon was/is scummy as hell. first there was wbg+sloosh calling each other scum, then all the sudden there are 4 votes for hopeless including wbg and sloosh. there is no way I'm getting on that wagon.

Also, he seems to remember this being representative of my town play:

my memories of playing with town hopeless is that I yell at him a lot for not scumhunting.

imo LM is such obvious scum, idk how people aren't voting for him. Prom was lynched instead of Lazer (i'm not counting any votes that happened after ruuch's entrance) and LM had 2 confirmed town (sloosh and prom) voting for him. lets lynch LM please





But Hey, you want townreads, because you've made such superior use of them so far, right?


Scumreads and townreads of dead players are only a small part of the big picture. You should understand, as town, that they can't be the main driving force in lynches, but they can still be helpful. Why don't you just do something that's pretty much certainly helpful for town and at worst has a neutral outcome? Unless it might give away something about your teammates of course.

Okay...... So that means I have to rethink reads a bit. I was already considering if Hapa could be scum and Hopeless town. That seems like a plausible explanation now. But that still leaves two. grush? Lazer? iamp? For sure this got harder.

Sorry guys, I failed there. I was too stubborn and didn't go with my doubts.

Good news though is that, though we have to lynch correctly tomorrow, it's actually quite a bit easier now. We basically have a free lynch in grush IMO and Lazer is still quite likely to flip scum too.



Do you mean grush is 100% Mafia or what?

I think I'm going to sleep now and think about the best lynch tomorrow. Btw WBG, I can see your points about grush, but why is iamperfection town and why is Hapa so townish to you?

I have to go sleep now, so unfortunately I can't wait for the deadline. But here are my current reads anyway (although I think most likely WBG or MrZentor is NK'd tonight).

MrZentor is confirmed town, so there's no point to talk about him. I'm fairly certain that WBG is town as well. He's been the most influential and active poster ever since D2, yet he hasn't done anything alarming during this time, which feels like an almost impossible task for Mafia. He's also been constantly pushing town agenda by actively discussing, controlling the voting process and sharing reads. I haven't played with iamperfection before, but his play seems very similar to his earlier town play and he's been reasonably active, so I think he's town for now.

I had to do some re-evaluation after Hopeless flipped town, so I think scum could be among any of these following players, but some are more likely scum than others.

jaybrundage
I didn't like his D1 play at all, but he started to focus on scumhunting during N1 and D2. Then he almost completely stopped posting (apparently internet problems or something), although his rare posts were okayish. I think it's plausible for him to flip scum, but not likely enough to make him a decent lynch.

Lazermonkey
He's been a top suspect for most of the game, but I just couldn't see Kush behaving the way he did as scum. There aren't many choices left anymore, though, so by process of elimination (and lack of anything to really make me think of Lazermonkey as town) Lazermonkey has an okayish chance of flipping scum.

Hapahauli
If we look at just this one game, Hapahauli has played decently: pushed his scumreads, analyzed, posted a fairly good amount of content. But something is wrong. He has posted less and less frequently since the beginning (it's characteristic of scum to degrade in activity over time), led two mislynches (despite being a really good player) and used unusually bad logic (despite him usually having constantly sound logic):

hapa you aren't acting townie. You are actively pushing logical falsehoods for some reason and I don't get why. A more spammy version of the dumb or scum conundrum.

I'm just pointing out how your logic is bad. ---->I was useless as scum, i'm useless right now, therefore I must be scum.
Bad reasoning.. one example of many in the thread so far.

@hapa are you saying stupid shit just because you like to talk a lot? why are you using bad logic?


None of these things were present when I played with town Hapa before! There's always the chance that he's just really having a bad game, but with all these combined, it feels like too much of a coincidence. A decent lynch IMO.

grush57
He actually has 5 pages of filter but (almost) nothing valuable in all those posts. Mostly it's just fluff, vague remarks and other unhelpful small talk. He also flip-flops on his reads constantly and almost never gives reasoning for his reads and/or for the changes in them. This is a good example:

## Vote hopeless


You can die hopeless you are making no sense because you are scum.


this guy is scum.
Also because hopeless is too...

##Vote: Hopeless1dr


He is confident in Hopeless flipping scum (apparently?). But then:

##Vote: lazermonkey

Also Mr. Zentor you are a confirmed town and you are doing absolute jack shit with it.


Jumping off the wagon for some reason (Hopeless' recent surge of activity?) when a good opportunity presents itself. No real reasoning for this HUGE change from clear scum -> don't lynch! Of course he can look better after Hopeless flips town, right?

- - -

Then we have to also consider grush's recent push for Hapa. I think it's weird for him to do that if they're both scum (not impossible but somewhat unlikely), so more likely one of them is scum and one is town. Hapa hasn't played up to his meta, but he has still played much better than pretty much anyone else, so I'd say grush is the safer lynch right now. And *safe* is the keyword at LYLO... There are no second chances anymore.
