Nomination Mafia - Page 17

Yes, being passive-aggressive is “A” way to play mafia. There are also many other ways. Whats the point of this? You are meant to adapt to the environment at hand. I have given my thought process of how to manipulate staying off the radar; you can do that as town or scum.
Your thought process is very lazy Yamato, and the outcome you have specified lacks conviction.
In fact the conviction is so NOT present I can not even say you are confirmation biased.


I do not see how this is alignment-indicative. If so, I would have been a scum read to everyone in the game. (P.S. I was a town read at that point). And as others stated, the tone is completely different between the two.
Hence as above, lazy heuristics (is starting to become a common theme). Try again.


The argument is completely different. I have said repeatedly, Oats is taking a simplistic view at this game. His motto is “lynch the scummiest player”; which yes, whilst the aim of the game, is not as straight forward as that line. I have pointed out several reasons why that is case. You can read my filter if you have forgotten what they are.
And I disagree with your last statement. The game of forum mafia is constantly changing. Meta shifts are constantly occurring. If we know how mafia play and react, and lynch off that; we would never mislynch and the game would be instantly solved. This is obviously not the case. Again, such a blunt statement and lazy heuristics.


I already addressed this here:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=395690&currentpage=19#373

TL;DR
The mafia trait he is referring to, is actually me emulating my townie trait.
Again argument that doesn’t hold up; its obvious the tone between the two quoted posted is different (as the motives are different). Lazy heuristics once again. That’s 4 strikes in a row.


Who is my scum read? Yamato, who has been online whilst I was active? Only Oats; who was constantly trying to argue with me, even when I was asking to walk away.
Again, your entire case, each point referenced lacks any conviction – which is highly unusual for your meta known for confirmation bias.
On top of this, your case is full of lazy heuristics. All points have been disputed (easily)

Translation: I doubt Phagga scumminess, read = null to leaning town
OK, that’s fine; giving out town tells early is dangerous so agreed.

Complete contradiction. The first post @ 02:00 says you doubt his scumminess.
@ 03:42 you now say, some things are mafia oriented.
In the same post you back pedal and say you still doubt it. Which is it, town or scum? You’re doing your best to stay in the middle and not commit. The contradictions are clear.
You top off this post, by claiming Sl00sh is making association cases, which is clearly not happening (others already called you out on this)

This is an example of alignment: null post (Yamato). So what if your attack is nothing like Normal 4. Each game is different. That statement does not make you town in any way, shape or form.


Note “He’s” refers to phagga and is overall scummy. Noted 2hrs prior the below:

This does not read as the above: I think he is scummy, but some things make me doubt it.
Why the change within 2hrs 30?
Perhaps the read of Phagga below will expound on the change in read.



This is indeed weak, at least you admit it. How about this: Why would one town player pick at another town player early this game? How about this: Why would a mafia player pick at a town player early this game?
Lazy heuristics again, you treat one example to suit your agenda, and do not consider any other options.



Check this out (before Phagga posted liking Prplhz)

So why is when Phagga does it, you get a town read.
When I do the same thing, its not.
Your point is moot; and is part of the contradictions Sl00sh noted about you.



Do I need to point out the above post? I am asking Palmar to dictate why he made that choice.
I take the same action as Phagga (and before him), yet he is town, I am not.
