(i.e. posting a [pre-made]campaign is indicative of town play) Now you are using meta to make your judgement. I obviously don't share that experience with you. From my perspective its an informal fallacy. Im not saying Vivax is scum; Im saying Toads rational for declaring him openly town to me is weak at best, and contradictory at worst | ||

Im very close to handing you my vote for Mayor. Overall I like the vibe I get when reading your filter. I think your approach has been reasonable, I don't agree with everything but that is also to be expected. Before I hand over my vote, I would like to know "Out of the current candidates with a fighting chance, who would be your choice for Sheriff?" (& why) | ||

In short: I don't like what I see. Austinmcc really said it all; theres nothing of substance in there. The other concern is that he said he was catching up on the thread 15hrs ago, and hasn't commented since. Stutters695 Who are you voting for mayor; and who do you want the mayor to lynch (i.e top scum read) & why. | ||

TL;DR: I would prefer to pursue other scum targets, but will accept Oatsmaster for the lynch. I still think people are "cherry picking" his filter to suit their interpretation though. I had to read his filter about 4 times, because each time I kept changing my mind. My problems with Oats is that: (1) He has really turned DOWN the [intentional]aggression. and really turned UP the [emotional] aggressoin. which is odd.. a null tell overall though (but with (2) and (3) gives me concern) (2) Most of his responses are when pressured, and when he does try to pressure the questions are lacking in quality.. having just played a game with Oats as town, I can see a stark contrast (we also MAJORLY butted heads that game) (3) He keeps asking others for scum reads, but is not providing his own. Perhaps its due to the vet factor (i.e. trying to find his place in the scheme of things) I know I am a bit more reserved this game; if this was the case, point (3) would make sense due to lower confidence.. but (2) is still not explained and even (1) to a lesser extent is not explained To me Oatsmaster has not been obviously scummy in his play, but due to his changes in aggression from what I know familiarly of him, I am comfortable with his lynch - on the proviso of no better target. In regards to cherry picking: the items raised for his scumminess is due to him wanting to run for mayor and defending JieXian.. personally I find both tells null. (a)Fuck, I would love to be mayor but I have enough common sense to know I dont have the respect of the majority so don't see a point. perhaps Oats is the same, in fact I suspect he would be in that regard. So for me the tell is null. (b)As for JieXian, I have already said this prior, I took fault with how Vivax approached his 'scum read' pressuring. I am not really sure why Oats copped heat and I didn't. I see this action as null as well, as its easy for scum to break up fights and stick up for others; but also beneficial to town to prevent mislynches etc. | ||

Second Bolded, I was reacting to 5touch who was pissing me off. 3rd Bolded, Vivax said that, not me. read the whole post in context so you actually find scum and not town. Seriously.. your BBCode is more fucked than Axle.. you did the same thing last game. When you quote, you remove the name, and assume people will know who your talking about. Fuck me, the bolded part is under "gonzaw" but YOU ARE ONE who said it.. ffs | ||

What you extrapolate specifically what I am "oversaucing" when it comes to aggression? Considering i put forth the hypothesis of vet syndrome, I don't really know what you are implying here. And why are you even talking about LYLO.. its Day 1... and lastly.. "dont like lies".. what is the lie? | ||

You say Vivax intentionally lied about Oats quotes. (Some of) The vets say Vivax is town. Where does Vivax lie for you? (pun intended) -i.e. Is Vivax a scum or town read for you? If he is scummish in nature, I would like to see you pressure him for information. | ||

Nice hit on jimi hendrix  FTIts been a real pain in the ass to catch up on this thread.. most of it has been mayor/sheriff posturing so I don't have anything significant to comment on even though 12-15 pages went by; Other than I need to re-read the Vivax interactions in that period. Im not sold on him being town, so need to seriously ponder if I think he is scum. | ||

I said myself before, I went through Oats filter and found aspects questionable so whilst comfortable with his lynch, I would have preferred someone else. Lastly, it was clear 5Touch was becoming mayor, and I wanted to know if he would lynch prpl instead of oats. he did. and the right choice was made. | ||

Maybe I am tunneling because of your insta-insert of ya "Starsenses" tag line; however, your filter history since that post has done nothing to persuade me otherwise. All I see in your filter is:
To me, nothing of note, otherwise known as flying under the radar. Whilst town may fly under the radar to avoid NKs or watever; I find it very peculiar you are tying in lurking in the shadows with your "STARSENSES"/ I AM TOWN first post. @Grush57 I want to know your read on Oatsmaster and why. | ||

I would spend your time looking at other players. Funny, coming from me, but Grush plays like this often. Only time will tell with him. Yamato, Something you are well aware of.. You pressure your read until either: (1) Convince you they are innocent or (2) Convince you they are scum Grush has not convinced my he is innocent, and has given me no reason to even consider him as innocent. Maybe for everyone else there are better reads, but for me he is my best until (1) or (2) is satisfied. | ||

I can agree with (4) completely. In regards to (3) I would stop if a suitable reason is given. I respect the vets, and do not have a problem listening to them if the reads are substantiated with proof. Telling me.. "Grush is town because I am a vet, no more needs to be said " doesnt cut the mustard for me and is my my opinion an "appeal to authority". A fallacy I choose not to indulge in. BTW. I don't recall anyone actually sticking up for Grush i.e. (3)? Im happy to be corrected on this one though... Unless of course if you meant vets ignoring my stance on Grush, as indication they disagree. | ||

The vets obviously know more about the game than we do.. they can use that experience to aid us, or abuse us.. I think they keep saying.. "vet says do it this way" to test if we have the balls to think for ourselves. if we capitulate and give in, we are just useless townies that town/mafia vets can exploit as needed. If vets provide substantiated reads; at least I can make a judgement on whether they are trying to help town or not. | ||

My appeal to you to discontinue your pursuit of Grush is that I don't think anything he is going to do in response to your accusations is going to change your mind. Disagree. Why are you stepping in for Grush before he has even responded? If you think he is town from his filter, I would prefer you to direct me to what I am missing. If you think I am being a hypocrite for asking why you interjected, note, I called out Vivax because he was campaigning for others to dig up dirty of JieXian at that point in time, and potentially sheeped Sandroba. Grush is my read, and Im doing the followup work. Completely different situations. | ||

I woulda thought at this stage with the pressure on him, he would be working to exonerate himself? | ||
