I like what gonzaw's doing, actually making reads, most of which I agree with, while running for mayor. I do find Vivax disappearing after that long post running for mayor to be scummy.

I took a look at what reads he meant.

Written by gonz very early, probably not serious:

Unless you plan on telling us why you are not giving a shit about the mayor candidacy, which you would obviously do as town?


Here gonzaw says the same thing JX said later about me. We could interpret this as one of the reads JX was agreeing with.
It's also pretty interesting that austin and gonzaw share the same preference for stutters. Should be scrutinized.

Just before I go to sleep 2 things caught my attention since I've skimmed the thread:

1)Vivax made his "campaign post" as soon as the game started, and completely disappeared. If he was town actually trying to be mayor...one would have thought he'd keep around trying to either do what town does (hunt scum as early as possible and start discussion) or at the very least answer questions regarding his mayor campaign.

2)Stutters' entrance in the game seemed pretty underwhelming. Even though there's nothing "solid" to go on about most people, he just seemed to ask seemingly "unrelated" questions without trying to participate that much in discussions. I saw him make his first "weak" post (at least in a general sense), then ask some questions, "lurk" in between and ask some other questions.
It's not much to go on, I'd want him to take a stance on the whole sandro issue and other candidates perhaps.

There are some guys I don't even know, like Fivesomething and Donotsomething, I take it they are smurfs?


In summary, it looks like JX trusted gonzaw and his reads at the time. Among those, he preferred to comment on me rather than stutters or sandro.

However, in the next post:

>_> You do know I can change my vote any time right? I was trying to get Axle to write so that everyone can understand him, telling toad to cool down and supporting my town read and someone I believe to be a strong player.

Moreover sandroba, this really is my first Mayor game. And by the way, I did say that I'm agreeing with gonzaw's read on you and you don't seem to be happy about it.

I have questions, too:

    Why would mafia preferably over town not post after the candidacy? Can you enlighten me?




Because what you did was like a huge bet on the flop followed by a check without a dangerous card coming on the turn. You're not following up. That makes people suspicious.

I played against Vivax as mafia before and boy do we love having him lynch townies with his bad reads. Which was why I'm not voting for Vivax mayor.

If Vivax or sandroba were scum it's too stupid a move attacking the weakest player among those who had suspicions against you so I think at least 1 of you should chill.


He's implying that both me and sandro were attacking him cause he's weak and suspecting us rather than responding directly to the points sandro made.
Telling us, the (scum)reads from gonzaw he agrees with, to "chill" lol.

I would rather expect a townie with us as scumreads to become suspicious of both of us here, not to write that we're just omgusing him as his defence.
He also says he doesn't want me as mayor, later he will say he would vote for me based on what Toad said.

Hey Guys, Im not running for mayor cause Im not retarded and it makes me feel sad when I dont get votes. So I wont.

Any Questions?

That's a lie. I mentioned that twice and mentioned what I think about it twice up until now. Once very early and once when gonzaw asked me and I thought "whatever, I'll just repeat myself, maybe he didn't read".

I don't mind repeating myself once. Do I have to repeat myself twice and answer that question again?

And again, because some people apparantly misunderstood me. Given what I posted it is probably understandable if you don't know me so I'll make it clear once again:
In no fashion or art am I trying to tell people to talk about townreads and screw scumhunting. We are scumhunting today and that's how we form reads on everyone. While mafiareads are things that develope slowly townreads are things that can develope really fast and don't need talking about because everyone should be able to do that themselves, so that should come naturally, without the need of focussing on it. Just keep it in mind that we have to vote a mayor.

If possible I will elect the towniest out of the vets because I don't want some random bob in that position. If none of the vets are able to post enough for us to get a proper read on at least ONE of them I'm up for voting someone else. That's my take on the situation. I think it's the best approach but I'm not going to tell anyone how to vote today. As mentioned, townreads should come naturally and I don't want them explained for obvious reasons. As long as everyone does that we're good.

Still reading the thread. My big sis' husbands birthday was today so kind of buisy up until now.


Since you know gonzaw what do you think about him so far then? Is Sandroba's bullshitting or is he feeling lazy?


Okay. He agrees with gonzaws' reads, so he should find me, sandro and possibly stutters scummy. Yet he asks Toad a question about...gonzaw himself? Why? He knows he agrees with him, why is he asking information about him and not me or stutters?

As you see in the first post in this quotechain, Oats asked Toad about sandrobas reluctance to run for mayor.
Toad replied that he already wrote it (he wrote that it's troublesome that sandro's not running but later, that he still wants him elected even if he doesn't want it).

Now, JX doesn't care about that exchange, he asks Toad if sandro is bullshitting or feeling lazy (which is a strange question to ask about someone you should find concerning). All the while ignoring what has already been written about him.

These two are the sort of random stuff scum asks to look useful. Detached from their line of thought/set of reads.
More or less like this one in the second post after:

Sandroba is weird. Him not running for mayor is weird without being alignment indicative at all. If anything it might be a towntell but I'm believing him when he said it's something he set his mind to pregame so it makes it a null-tell.
The few posts he did so far aren't looking like the usual townsandroba though. It's hard to judge based on so little but something's off and I have to figure out wether it's him being mafia or him playing different on purpose.

Don't want to say too much about gonzaw right now.


As you see, Toad says sandro doesn't look like town sandro.

JX just asked him a question about sandro, gets a semi-null read as response, and doesn't give a fuck about it (I assume sandro would be his current suspect if he's asking questions about him and agrees with gonzaw).
He also doesn't ask why Toad doesn't want to talk about gonzaw.

No. He goes on to ask a question about a debears being talked about by austin.To which Toad replied:

In school right now - interested to hear a reply to dp's case, as well as scumreads


In terms of DP's case.. It's alright. He's wrong, but I'm pretty scummy and much of the argument does hold water. However, I'm fairly disinterested with the pressure on me right now. I don't think I'll be lynched tomorrow, and I won't sit here and waste time deflecting every point brought against me. We can all settle on the fact that I'm super scummy right now, and that's fine with me.


I would like you to be concerned, because I'm interested in hearing you defend what looks like a reasonable case against you.


His main point is that I just "heap shit on weak players". I don't know how you'd like me to defend that, because it's true. Some people need shit heaped on them to start doing stuff. Most of it is based on my shitty stream post, which, as all indicates, heaps shit on players. I heap some shit here and there, it's all fine. I want answers. And if you have to dig your way out that's perfectly fine with me.

The thread has been pathetically inactive for how long the game has been going. If I have to make myself seem scummy to generate some sort of response, well here we have it.

Problem is, I haven't heard from players that are really concerning like SP or Yamato.


He says he has to be scummy because its the only way to move the thread forward. Again, how is this indicative of a town mindset? If he's town, why does he want to intentionally look scummy so that town wastes time and effort looking at him? No, he's much more likely to be scum baiting town into lynching him while thinking they won't because "scum wouldn't look so scummy".

Furthermore, how is his play supposed to generate useful discussion? This whole post looks like post-hoc rationalization, a trademark of scum behavior. If he wanted to move the thread forward meaningfully, why didn't he do so by actually making substantiated cases on his reads with evidence to back up his cutesy one-liners? Because he's full of shit and he knows it.


It took you an hour to dig up that? I am disappoint. If you really thought I was scum you would have had that in 10 minutes tops.

Oh, and you seemed to have missed the part where I said I wasn't intentionally looking scummy, it was just a bi-product of my shenanigans to get answers. You know, the post after that in my filter.

Try harder please, Yamato. Why am I scummy? This is just an extension of the "You aren't promoting useful discussion" argument.

Excuse me for having other things to do in my life besides prove to town that you are scum.

Are you going to do anything today besides defend yourself? Poorly,I might add.

I bring up plenty of points besides just the useful discussion point. You cannot deny it looks like straight up post-hoc rationale. You didn't intend to look scummy with your shit but now that you do and you realize people see it that way you're making up bullshit excuses for your shit play.

I'm dine with reading your useless posts. It is in town's best interest to see you hang.

But if you want to not get lynched today you need to do better than that. Vivax was a good start but you aren't convincing enough with this "LOOK AT MY VIVAX POST GUYS HE'S TOTES SCUM" and then pointing your finger at Palmar immediately afterward.

Are you dumb, or do you just not read? That wasn't my idea, that was Toad asking me a question and me answering. Also, you're contradicting yourself. Toad asked me when I flipped town who town should kill tomorrow. I said Palmar. You just called me out for saying that, and then you said that when I flip town, you'll kill Palmar tomorrow. What the hell?

I have not said once that we need to lynch Palmar today, you guys are acting fucking stupid.

So then you're just calling Palmar suspicious all the time just for shits and giggles? Because if you don't want to vote for him then that means you're just blowing hot air which is exactly what I've said you were doing.

Holy. Shit.

I'm calling him suspicious because I think he's fucking suspicious. I said that if he keeps being suspicious, we lynch him. It's other people who keep bringing that point up and asking me to elaborate on it. Are you not allowed to think people are suspicious without voting for them? I mean, you're voting for me, but you said WBG is scum too, but you're not voting for WBG right now, so obviously you must be full of crap, right?

The differ pence is focus. You keep saying Vivax is scum but you've spent a lot more time discrediting Palmer than pushing your read on Vivax. You are not scum hunting. You are throwing shit at a town player. This is my point.

I'm not being hypocritical because my focus is squarely set on you. You're scum, I'm voting for you, and I'm pushing my read and defending the case. You are doing none of these things.


Wiggles was really mafia in this game when yamato was talking to him.

As you see, two different styles of talking to his scumreads.

But check his meta for yourself guys.





I know you were also suspicious of me at some point, and probably of others. There are 4 mafia remaining. Only 4. If you honestly think Toad/Gonzaw/Mocsta/Yamato are mafia, that means we have 8000000 inactive/lurky townies. If you honestly think Toad/Gonzaw/Mocsta/Yamato are mafia, that means you think that a lot of the players you think are town are SERIOUSLY wrong about some reads that they all share. It may be the case, but it's very unlikely.

I have played with you in a couple games. I will assume you have reasons for doing whatever it is you're trying to do this game, whether scummy or townie reasons. But right now, you are flying off the handle at so many different people that I have more or less stopped reading your posts. Others have stopped reading your posts. If whatever you are trying to do involves "post good analysis that will be taken seriously" then you are shooting yourself in the foot. If not, carry on.

I'll just ask, do you honestly believe that the 4 people you have accused within the last...36 hours or so are scum? Do you believe that's a team, or just those people are scummy and you might be wrong about one or two? Do you actually believe we have NO scum in chezinu/annul/stutters/BKE/grush/clarity/fuba (that's roughly my list of inactive or lurky players)?

gonzaw and yamato are certain scum.

Toad/FT/mocsta I still have my doubts about. But FT just replaced Toad in my book. Mocsta is

gonzaw + yamato>FT>Mocsta/Toad/everyone else are my current reads.

Just lynch gonzaw and thank me after.

austin, now that you are here.
What do you think of the "cases" against me from Oats/Five/wbg/debears?

You thought I was pretty townie on D1 and posted a bunch of reasons, do the stuff those guys pointed out change your read or not?

I may have skipped it in your filter but you barely mention me I believe

here's what I don't understand about annul:

I at least antagonized him, I understand if he got pissed at that or whatever, perhaps I even did cross some line over annul's weak psyche. Who cares, it's not that important, on its own.

Why is annul mad at FT/everyone else? We lynched a scum d1, someone annul did not even once mention. We elected someone into the mayoral position who is incredibly likely to flip town--how often do you see a mafia bus their own teammate less than 12 hours into the game, so hard that it's actually to completion? It almost doesn't matter who this guy is, there's only a handful scum players on the forum that I would think are ballsy enough to do something like that, and most of them are, to put it nicely, not this good/transparent as town.

So what town interest does annul have for mudslinging at this stage? What interest does he have in undermining the process that worked so well yesterday? Why is he attacking FT for being Palmar when we don't even know if FT is Palmar in the first place? (and FT stated himself that he is not Palmar, though perhaps this is not conclusive of anything)

Why does annul simply attack his accusers, instead of actually responding with proper reasons for his suspicions on other players? Why does he attack others (i.e. Vivax) for OMGUSing, but he does exactly the same thing (note his vote on me)?

Why does he say this:

On January 23 2013 11:51 annul wrote:
what i will not be doing is wasting 48 hours of MY time defending myself. that's what will not be happening.

in over half of my games on TL, i have been the absolute tunnel on day 2. this happens when i go all in day 1, when i am moderately active day 1, and now apparently its the case even when i say almost nothing day 1.

the smart play, then, is to lay down and "accept defeat" and force the players to actually do other shit than keep on attacking me. if i defend, it wastes time by giving people incentive to keep pushing me. so, i will not defend. in fact, i will not say much at all. if i feel like i can save myself when the time is running out, then i will. otherwise, i am not going to get worked up over it when the end result is ANOTHER day 2 lynch anyway.


Okay, sure, he doesn't want to waste time defending himself.

Instead, he uses it to cry about how Palmar tunnels him every game, to argue with Toad about something stupid Toad said (instead of simply ignoring him) and to cry some more about some other stuff no one really cares about.

Why does he not use this time to explain his reads?

The answer has to be one of two things.

1. annul is scum.

2. annul is town and simply bad/whiny/butthurt.

I'm going to go through some of his past games, and see if I can find anything with Palmar in which he does something similar. I'm not convinced he is the best lynch for today (I'm actually still not sure whom to lynch actually) but I don't like assuming people are dumb when I don't have to.

I have only skimmed them.

Gut read on you was town D1. I believe that to be correct.

Things that, off the top of my head, I'm looking at tonight about you are - (1) how much some of those cases/suspicions on you are driven by the idea that we had a scum player running for mayor? (2) how much of those cases/suspicions on you are driven by us having a certain number of scum vets? I think those played a role in at least getting things rolling against you, but that was not the entirety of those cases.

Your comment that you expected the NKs or whatever was RIDICULOUS in my mind. But I don't think I find it scummy? Just have to go through everything else, and reread your D1.

this is a fairly good point, but the problem is that it's not very new.

The question is whether gonzaw doesn't think before he talks as scum or as town. It's really hard to tell, but in hindsight I do remember a couple town games where gonzaw said stuff like this that was so bad that I simply assumed as scum he'd be more careful and put him into the green column and ignored him for the rest of the game.

I need to reread his past games, but that's always really difficult with this guy, given how much he posts.

Seriously Vivax, is this so hard to comprehend?

1)Yamato expressed he wanted to be elected at one point (if I remember correctly)
2)Yamato was very active the whole D1
3)However, he didn't really push his candidacy that much, nor seemingly decided to push the candidacy of another "scum mayor" (whoever that one is)
4)Basically, he stated he would have wanted to be mayor because he's townie bla bla bla, but didn't seem to have a hidden agenda about that, he spent most of his time being active and discussing stuff and shit

Bugs, austin... I expected more from you as "vets" really.

Most, if not the whole scum team reacted to something really dangerous in the last pages.

I think I'll go for some Ice fishing in Greenland.

Vivax, I'm going to put this nicely:

you are being a moron.

Go take a break from the thread if you are town and come back when your head isn't so full of shit.

Chezinu:

Why did you swap your vote from yourself to Austin, to gonzaw with less than a minute remaining in day 1? It seems like you wanted to get them elected over Toad, is that right?

Stutters - I notice that you have either only defended yourself or commented on nothing relevant all game. We have no idea who you want to lynch. Given we're 4 game days in, why is this exactly?

Broodking - you are even lurkier than normal. Why are you not participating in town discussion in any way?

Even if you take away the "as scum", how is being wanting to be elected as mayor a scumtell?

I do not interpret that post as a scumslip at all.

I agree with the sentiment that it is likely scum had someone running for mayor. I temper that by being almost entirely sure they either had someone(s) running for mayor OR pushed a candidate that wasn't going to lynch scum. It would be a bit ridiculous for them to just let prplhz die and do nothing, unless they thought his last minute change of heart would be enough - where he came back, voted FT, etc.

A lot of people agree with that sentiment. It's not scummy to assume that scum tried to do something in the election.

What you have done though is taken that expressing that sentiment somehow is a slip and makes you scum. It is not that wanting to be elected as mayor is a scumtell. It is that scum SHOULD have been trying to do SOMETHING with the lynch. A person who (1) did not run for mayor and (2) voted for someone who lynched scum is, at the very least, LESS LIKELY to be scum than someone who ran for mayor, or voted for someone who didn't want to lynch prplhz.

yamato didn't run for mayor in the sense that he tried to get any sort of control over the election. yamato spent all of EIGHT minutes voting for himself, before moving his vote to FT. UNLESS the time period of his vote was the time period where FT seemed particularly interested in Oats (as I remember D1, there was a time where he was talking more about Oats than about prplhz), it is unlikely that scumyamato would vote for FiveTouch and run the risk of having prplhz lynched.

You are just misinterpreting that "wanting to run be elected as mayor" is NOT a scumtell. I don't think anybody is saying that conclusively. More that scum should have been trying to do SOMETHING to get control over the lynch or get a townie lynched instead of prplhz, outside of the really paranoid idea that FiveTouch came right out the gate bussing hard.

I don't at all consider myself a vet.

I do think that I'm not doing enough this game, but I can't address that right this minute. For now, I'm trying to make myself useful in finding things that stick out, and perhaps do a mediocre job of trying to get everyone to keep the thread legible and slightly more focused.

I'd tone down the arrogance if I were you, given that your reads so far this game have been proven to be awful. You have no position to talk like this, and I'd suggest that if you want to be respected and for your opinion to be valued that you take time to cool off. Otherwise, I'm just going to ignore you, since your recent posting has been nothing more than a cancer to town.

I'm having doubts about Chezinu. Want to talk about it?

Specifically, I can't reconcile why Chezinu would not vote for me or you when he claimed to have an interest in lynching prplhz. That's literally the only reason I have him down as town-he wanted to kill prplhz.

However, his last minute vote switch from himself to austin/gonzaw seemed as if he wanted to accomplish something with it. Toad had 4 votes and gonzaw/austin had 3 each. Do you think it's possible that scum were trying to get someone other than Toad into that position? I believe at the time it was known that Toad was a mason, correct?

I believe him when he says that he is busy due to school, but unlike last game, he has no reads that I can really recall. His only read on prplhz was based on his rule.

I assumed Chezinu was just dicking around. I think I had explicitly stated that I was cool with sheriff Toad, and was ready to swap my vote if needed. Toad was known to be a mason at that point.

Got nothing much to base it on, and I may not have been explicit in thread as I was in my own head (which might make scum think they could have shifted things more than they could have, except last-minute), but I read it as Chez just...doing Chez stuff.

Chezinu is interesting. Yes, we can take the prplhz thing for granted now. But we've had nothing since then. I know that Chezinu was masoned with two people and was more active in PMs than he was here.

What we're missing from Chezinu, though, are his reads, no matter how he wants to deliver them. Because actually Chezinu's attack of prplhz could have come from a mafia Chez - it could have been a joking bus or an easy way to contribute; he didn't know that you and then me would run with it.

In short, I understand your doubts and share them. I had him as leaning town previously, but his vote-switching plus lack of contributions have moved him back to null at best for me.

There's also the issue that he may have been lying, although it's Chez and I may have misread the context or misinterpreted:

Original Message From Chezinu:
but I don't really. He's not that good at finding mafia. He could be mafia... but you can't judge him based on his reads. Well, even if he is mafia - he could persuade mafia not to kill me. I would kill him last.

The last game I had thoughts that he was mafia, but in the end he was town.Good thing I didn't go after him for the sole reason of roleplay.


The player that Chezinu is talking about, he has not played with before. I'm struggling to work out what to make of this.
