I will say this, I am sitting on my reads today on purpose. You guys know what I think about who dies today, and that's enough for the time being. Tomorrow I'll update all of you on my reads, which have changed some since yesterday, but not significantly. More importantly, I've become more confident in them, and have some more evidence, which I will share at a later date if it hasn't already been covered.
I don't think it's any stretch to say everyone should be on board with killing Palmar today. Sloosh is townier by a mile and Palmar is obviously not even playing the game, so he should just die. If he's town, oh well, someone has to die, and he's admitted to us that he's going to do nothing. If he's mafia then his team is retarded, or he's too cocky for his own good.
One thing I will say today is that I don't think VE is mafia at the moment. Drunk VE was very town last night. <3 drunk VE.

In the middle of those two.
I don't think what people are calling him mafia for right now is very convincing stuff, as I said day 1 about Snarf's case, but I have no vested interest in defending him myself at this point in time. If he's town, he'll do just fine without me interjecting.
It'll be a different deal if nothing changes tomorrow and people start throwing votes his way, however, and I still think he's town. Then you might see me defend him.

Fair enough.
Well my vote is most likely on Palmar tomorrow.
I am waiting to read this super post I think he said he was going to deliver, before making a final decision.
I also recognise sl0osh contributed significantly with the phagga read/case, but, frankly, I was expecting him to step up more. In particular after his promises on how to manage the nomination days. Its almost as if he made the case, and then regressed back to late Day1.

I don't think so. After he made his phagga case, he's pressured people for reads and hunted VE, who he thinks is mafia. It's not at all like day 1 where he made his one thing on me then backed off it and AFK'd.

Good point. Thanks for the reminder.
*Too entrenched with re-formatting my computer*
Sorry this is Off-Topic, so PM if you know the answer. [fluff question I am hoping someone here knows] i have a game on Origin, BUT the account i created was a typo'd email addy (i.e. I never verified it) Somehow, it still let me buy a game (so didnt realise till too late).
I cant find an email address to contact Origin to find out how to fix this, and have been waiting 1hr30min for the Live Chat (and still waiting)

But not motivated enough to provide your own highly regarded thoughts and reads?
If as a townie u keep saying "tis OK. Lynch me" why bother to respond in the first place?
Fact: I can't confirm/deny if your motivations are low. What I do know is that this setup allows for a pro town townie to NEVER be lynched or killed. I still don't get why highly regarded players (such as yourself and others) have not stepped up. This nomination mechanic is better than bodyguards. Hence i find it is peculiar it is not being taken advantage of...
My previous games have nothing to do with how I play this game and active lurking is not a scumtell unless you apply it correctly, those are just some future pointers for you in mafia.
Anyway, I will be voting Sloosh, I don't think he can be scum so I'm not too concerned if it's me who dies. Whichever faction you're playing for at the moment Mocsta should not have to worry about losing you based on your pure effort put into the game alone.

I think you guys should lynch a few people, but should I flip I want you guys to not forget that however good you think my scumreads are, any mediocre player with updated reads is more valuable than a dead great player with his old reads. Not to mention I'm not invested far enough into this game to actually consider my reads worth too much.
Anyway, I think yamato, prplhz, snarfs, phagga, visceraeyes and cheesecake should be in the initial round of scum. I guess VE should not be strongly considered in this group unless I'm wrong about prplhz, but who knows.
I'm fairly certain 2-4 of those players are scum. This leaves the group of me, mochsta, JX, oat, jay, djodref and sloosh as most likely 5-7 townies. jay and djodref are the ones I like the least.
I'm not going to bother you guys with detailed PR cases (that's what I really call them, I actually write cases to convince town, not to prove people are mafia). I'm just going to pick out scum and tell you why in short.
Yamato is most likely scum. He basically seems to be picking a target that looks like it could die and then going for him. The giveaway part for me is how he's pushing his reads. Notice how often he seems to be looking for reasons to lynch people instead of looking for people who are scum:

It's quite interesting yamato77 already made it quite clear what he was going to do when JX predictably flipped town:
On February 08 2013 10:27 yamato77 wrote: Regardless of the JX flip I think Palmar is claiming mafia to us with that last post about the lynch.
And again with the "let's get everyone working together to lynch someone, not necessarily scum, just a lynch. To be fair he seems to think we're all town, but whatever.

prplhz is another guy who is scum, this is why:
He constantly advises people to do stuff, requests their opinions and puts forth very little concrete opinions himself.
Examples:
On February 07 2013 21:30 prplhz wrote: But we're not lynching people because you think their play is "abhorrent to [your] notion of playing to win". His reputation is well earned and it's silly to lynch him on day 1 unless there's a really good case but the entire case against him can be explained away with "he's had a mental breakdown" and we can tolerate that for a single day as long as he isn't straight up lying to us so lets just wait it out and see what happens. Only bad thing about that is that we have to lynch someone else and this game isn't making much sense to me. I think I need to talk to slOosh.

The last one really rubs me the wrong way, why is prplhz asking for "permission" to go after jaybrundage? If you think he's scum just go nail him.
Also did you know prplhz completely disappeared during the night? 
Anyway, more later if I have time.

After seeing those posts from palmar I'm conflicted.
I know Palmar doesn't tend to rely on meta. So I can understand the doubt with prplhz. His play style to me is inherently scummy or at the least very self-centered. I think it really is between prplhz/VE as 1 scum.
I will have to reread yamato. His case on me was terrible, and he didn't even bother to defend my counter case asking me to reread thinking he was town... When I reread it, none of it still made any sense. I haven't minded his actions post that case, but will reread.
I still think phagga is the best candidate for day3.
SlOosh, may I ask who you are planning to lead with on day3?
|
Prp is scummy,
I'm leaning Palmar because I don't think he'll be able to conjure up any interest in the game now that we're several days in and he has hardly even read it and I don't want him to hang out and be an annoyance for the rest of the game. I don't know what he'll flip and I'm not interested, we'll find out soon enough. At least the other two guys appear still to be interested in this game. Prp says: I want to lynch Palmar cause I am irritated by him.
What a shitty reason to vote for Palmar.
Also, he still doesnt want to answer who he wants to lynch outside of the nomination people.

Oats.
Fair points on prplhz. Trying to get info out of him is like trying to make olive oil from olives and bare hands....
What are your thoughts on Palmar read of yamato77?
|
I think its interesting, I will look into it after yamato responds possibly

Anyone actively lurking Would you be against a policy lynch on Djodref?
Its getting ridiculous now how long it has been since his last post.
On February 08 2013 02:36 Djodref wrote:Well, I don't want to lynch JieXian if he wants to lynch Palmar. Regarding your last post about Palmar, here is my take. Town Palmar lynches scum (like in Hero Mini Mafia) or trolls like there is no tomorrow (like in LVIII). Here I seriously doubt that prplhz is scum, so I doubt that Palmar is town. I would also like to remind you that you sheeped onto Palmar's wagon at some point in this game 
That is basically close to 72hours with no feedback what so ever.

I come up with enough concrete opinions myself. I gave my opinion on the JieXian lynch when it was clear people wanted to lynch him, I gave my opinion on my biggest scumread. I answer most requests for my opinion.Examples: Show nested quote +On February 07 2013 21:30 prplhz wrote: But we're not lynching people because you think their play is "abhorrent to [your] notion of playing to win".

Most of the posts in the thread during the night was about how people should probably stop posting and I agreed with that so I just didn't post. We have plenty of time today and only three people to discuss and talking during the night would mostly just give scum better information to make their nominations.

No, it's not a shitty reason to vote Palmar. Which nominee do you want us to lynch and why?
I'm not confident in any of the nominees being scum so I'm lynching the one I expect will cause the most disruption if he lives. Imagine Palmar lives, tomorrow he'll push either yamato77 or, more likely, me and I don't doubt that he'll succeed. I'll flip town and then where the fuck are you? Back at lynching Palmar again. Alternatively, his interest in this game disappears again and then his activity drops to abysmal levels. Back at lynching Palmar again.
Of course, if I had a scum read in any of the other candidates I'd lynch them but that's simply not the case.
Yea I didn't answer who I wanted to lynch outside of the nominees because we aren't lynching outside of the nominees right now. I'll answer you tomorrow, I don't think that's a big problem. One day, one lynch, today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow.

Palmar picked two posts that fit his idea of what makes me look bad, out of my entire filter. If you can read my filter and come to the conclusion that I am mafia, knowing my meta, then I suppose I'm not doing as good a job as I thought this game.
As for what it means about him, I don't know. My reaction is to think he's mafia but it's an emotional reaction that I shouldn't rely on. My reasons for wanting him lynched today have been transparent. I haven't sat on the idea of lynching him in the slightest, my process today has shifted from my earlier decision on Sloosh to my current opinion of Palmar and his commitment to the game. I didn't do this, as he suggests, because other people want to, I did this because I have new information about Sloosh and himself which led me here.
I would be disappointed to find out this was town Palmar, but I suppose it wouldn't be surprising. If that's the case, I guess it was three townies, and I was wrong, but I'll talk more about that and what it means tomorrow.

Sorry sorry sorry, got caught up in the long weekend and a road trip to my dad's place. I'm catching up now from page 45.

Jesus.
What is the purpose of this post, Yamato? Let me answer that for you: You want to distance yourself from the guy that is being perceived as scum by several townie players. But why do you have to do that? Because you're scum. If you were town, you wouldn't care enough about the fact that you softdefended me D1 to post about it.

I asked you for your reads, and this is your response? I can see no reason why you should not give your reads out now, since you are allegedly finished analysing them and have "become more confident in them". That is unless you are scum.
Also, I asked you why you think I'm scum, would you please answer that?
Who are your scum reads and why?

I like Palmar's list as it has good overlaps with mine. After phagga, I'd probably start convincing people that VE is scum, then maybe prplhz.
A strong reason for this is that VE and prphlz are objectively experienced / good players and they are focusing on today's lynch and avoiding talking about anything else.
Think about it from a townie perspective. If you conclude that the nomination candidates are all town, then why would you bother spending your time and energies choosing which one to lynch? As if making the correct townie lynch will win the game for us?
No, if you conclude that all nomination candidates are town, you should be focusing on who you will lynch tomorrow. You should scumhunt. 4 out of 8, I repeat 4 out of 8 players are scum if there are three townies up for nomination. And you seriously spend time looking at the three townies? Total bull.
I've been saying this the whole time, and maybe it's more evident now as you've seen how D2 has played out, but there are clearly people who don't want to talk about anything outside the current nomination pool. What's more is that some of these people clearly think that the candidates are all town, so why would they bother waiting for the lynch before they start contributing? If someone thinks we are town, then they must have some degree of respect for Palmar's / my play, or in the very least desire to dialogue with another townie about their scumreads etc. Why wait for one of us to die? Why wait?
|
Bah, I hate saying I'm gonna come back and catch up and then not actually being able to contribute, but my dad wants to go for a walk with the dog.
I'm still not sure on who to lynch today after Palmar's last post. I like killing yamato. And Oats. And VE still.
I'll be back later to post more.
