Dude, I might do the deciding vote here, I just want to be sure it's the right pick.

That said, snarfs is a lurker, for whatever reason. VE had stuff in his play that just did not make any sense from a town perspective. Let's lynch VE.

A scum team of Snarfs, phagga, prplhz and Oats makes unbelievable sense. For me to believe that, it means I have to read you town. I'm doing the best I can. It's been a long time since I've rolled town, I missed a huge portion of D1 because of real life and I'm not as confident as I normally am.

As some of you might remember I was pressuring VE a bit about his behavior around the palmar vote. I think there is a breakdown in his logic.

I originally wrote a post to him asking why he voted the target of his scum read:

Later on you said palmar does not care, and that is a sign that he is scum. Both this points have been refuted by oats (with the Marv vote) and me (Death note). What's baffling me is that I feel you should have known better than that. You were in LVIII with Marv and Palmar and even answered to the very quote of Marv that oats posted. And even without this, you are long enough active here that i would expect you to know that palmar does these stunts as town sometimes. Therefor I really feel you tried to pull a Risen here and lynch palmar for his inactivity although you should know that he could be town, and could be a an important asset to town later on.

Okay, I've read the whole thread again. First of all, where the fuck is prplhz and why isn't anyone else curious? He has literally 4 in game posts and while he appears to be interested in "thread atmosphere", I just have no idea who he thinks is scum.

Djo bringing back up the whole Oats/Mocsta thing is just...confusing. What's the point? I'm not even sure what he's accusing Mocsta of in the first place. @Djo What exactly is your problem with Mocsta? It's like you're suspicious of him because he didn't join your random lynch (which you say that you didn't even really like).

As I said earlier, I'm very very interested in clearing out the trash, being players who signed up and aren't playing. Right now that list is:

Palmar
prplhz
Snarfs
JX

There's no way in hell they're all scum. Here's what I want to do. I think everyone should choose one name off that list that they believe is the most realistic lynch candidate based on what they perceive to be town sentiment. Then I want them to explain why they aren't voting for that person, and explain in detail why their lynch candidate is better.

Know this. GM made it clear in the OP that lurkers will ruin this game. You don't even have to take my word for it, it's right in the OP. The worst thing townies can do in this setup is lurk. Therefor, I don't want to lynch someone active today. We can start lynching into active posters with more flip information.

I think prplhz is the most realistic lynch candidate, and I'll tell you why (though you probably won't like it.)

Palmar apparently wants to lynch prplhz.

Is that fucked up or what? But it's true. If Palmar comes back in here and says "Yeah I still want to lynch prplhz" then I believe that prplhz will get lynched. In spite of fucking off for the entire game, Palmar has more say over who gets lynched than I do. But I'm not bitter - all is not lost you see. For I can also get down on a prplhz lynch. I'd still do somersaults over a Palmar lynch or Snarfs lynch, but honestly I just don't think I can make it happen today.


____________________________________________________________________

On the active posters:
I'd like to see more from slOosh. Him backing out of his yamato read, while admirable I guess, leaves me wondering just who he thinks is scum. He mentioned phagga as a means of determining prplhz' alignment...somehow? But made it clear that he wasn't really a scumread. Ultimately he wants it to be clear that he's not doing nothing, which generally sets off red flags for me. He started out as a super townread too, which is why this is concerning for me.

@slOosh
You say "let's work with what we've got". I've got a case on Snarfs that you haven't commented on. I've got a lurker policy that I'd like you to consider. I'd really like to hear who you think is scum.

yamato is on my to-do list tomorrow morning. So is Cheesecake. I'm going to bed now.

##Unvote: Palmar
##Vote: prplhz


So, you vote Palmar because he is scum according to you, and then you switch to Palmars target (prplhz) saying if Palmar (who you think is scum) is going to push prplhz, he will get his will anyway. So you freely succumb to scum? What is this? Oh, I forgot, you will of course still be happy to lynch palmar if someone else wants to, but now you no longer want to push him, and instead push the target of your scumread!

How is that a town motivated move?

Riddle me this phagga: how do you think scumPalmar would say he wants to lynch prplhz, regardless of prplhz alignment KNOWING that he's going to disappear for however long and not participate in the game?

I wouldn't expect a townPalmar to even say he wants to lynch anyone in that manner knowing he hasn't read the thread and isn't going to read the thread long enough to warn us about it.


Of course Palmar is capable of bussing his teammates, but you MUST have been aware at this point that Palmar could have voted a townie. And let's just be clear: this post

came after the post I quoted before. So what you are saying is that a) Palmar has a lot of influence, b) Palmar is scum and c) Palmar comes into the thread and busses his teammate immediatly, hence you vote his teammate. That just does not make any sense to me.

And I'm not talking about Palmars alignment here (which is a different discussion), I'm solely talking about how you chose to abandon your scum read and instead voted for your scumread's target, and that I don't understand that move.

He didn't explain anything in that post phagga. He didn't say why he wanted to lynch any of those targets. It barely even qualifies as a bus in that instance because he's not pushing his read and he's barely interested in where his vote goes.

And regardless of the second post you quoted, the fact remains that he didn't do shit to actually get prplhz lynched. This is a fact. So you can bitch at me all you want about "voting for my scumread's target", because I know that prplhz was never really a target for Palmar because he's come back since then and hasn't mentioned him again. Not even a "Guys lynch prplhz" like he's wont to do. Nothing.

If Palmar comes back in here and says "Yeah I still want to lynch prplhz" then I believe that prplhz will get lynched.


So while it is true that Palmar has not pushed him, you did not have this kind of knowledge when you wrote your post yesterday, and instead claimed that prplhz was a good target because of the very fact that if Palmar pushes him, he will get prplhz lynched. That contradicts your "Palmar is bussing prplhz" theory, since a scum palmar would probably not actively push a lynch on his team mate.


Now comes the fun part. His response to my last post was that Palmar "didn't do shit to actually get prplhz lynched." and that he knows "that prplhz was never really a target for Palmar because he's come back since then and hasn't mentioned him again." This is his justification for his vote for prplhz. However, when he actually voted prplhz he wrote that if Palmar pushes his target, he will get him lynched. Also, at that time there was no way for him to know if Palmar would push prplhz or not. And finally, if Palmar was scum (as VE read him), and Palmar would actively push prplhz to get lynched, then prplhz would with a high probability be town. (Scum actively pushing a lynch on his own teammate on D1? Not impossible, but very unlikely).

So, to break it down into few simple phrases:

VE votes prplhz with the premise that if palmar, who is his scumread, pushes a lynch on prplhz, he will get it through. VE then later says that palmar might be bussing his teammate. That leaves two conclusions for VE's intentions when he voted prp in this post. 1.) VE thought that Palmar is scum and is actively pushing a lynch on his own teammate D1, hence VE votes prplhz. 2.) VE thought that Palmar is scum and has the ability to lynch a town prplhz, and VE is perfectly happy with that.

The first one is very unlikely, the second one very scummy. Also note how VE actually writes that Palmars vote on prplhz makes the latter the best lynch candidate. The fact that VE never came up with a more satisfying explanation despite me asking him several times makes it pretty clear to me that his intentions were to hurt town.




Riddle me this: If sloosh comes up to any of you townies, and asks if you could talk with him about it, and you have the next 30 minutes freely available. What do you do? I guess you would go read sloosh's case and comment on it. But what does VE do?

Notice the time stamps. It would have been easy to shortly look into Sloosh's 2-page filter to find his case and comment on it. Or he could have gone and read my filter and make his own read on me. But VE was doing nothing. How did he even want to discuss anything on me when he did not even know about the facts?

This are my 2 points that made me think VE could be scum. Sloosh adds a couple good points himself, I can go with that. Therefor, I think VE is scum.




I've seen Cheeses' case on Yamato, and I have to read through it properly. However, not now, cause I'm tired as hell after sacrificing too much sleep for mafia this weekend. I'll take a shower and be back in about 30 minutes, if you have any questions I will answer them then, else/afterwards I'm off to bed.


His unexplained change in confidence in his read on VE is troublesome. I don't think it necessarily means scum. But, as you did say, it doesn't mean he is town either from his day 3 vote

The question is why.

Why would I answer questions from the player I am calling mafia about why I think he's mafia? Why does he want to know the answer? Because he wants to argue with me, to prove that he's not mafia, even though he's not up for the lynch and I'm not pushing for his lynch.

Why would you want to talk me out of a town read of mine you don't even want to lynch, and indeed didn't want to lynch yesterday when the dust settled? Why do you want to argue against perfectly valid and accepted logic about his alignment as it relates to the lynch on day 3? Because you don't want town to figure the game out, and having people on the right track is bad.

Oats, you're pushing a mafia agenda. If you don't think VE is town, make a fucking case. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you on the matter. Goodnight.

Anyway, answer the OTHER QUESTION.

I have a null read on VE and slOosh.

The thing is, they should be doing so much more than they are currently doing. They have no fear of nightkills so WHY arent they being ultra mega useful to town?

Prp has been a little too nonchalant today for my liking, but I don't think he is nearly as likely to be scum as jay. As I said in my notes, jay is in the "kill it with fire" category for me. I want jay, the most likely scum, lynched.

Phagga and Oats are the two hardest players to read in this game for me.

Phagga, I want to say is town because he did move the votes on snarf to 5 to take the lead, yet sloosh was on the fence with momentum turning onto snarfs. So, it's possible that it was a bus.The rest of his play doesn't say "hey i'm town".

Oats, meanwhile, was the 4th vote on snarfs to make the voting close. He has a large filter, and I found him town looking after his early debates with Mocsta.

For now, I'd go with Phagga as scum and oats town. However, that isn't my main concern as of now, compared to prp and jay.

Two options

1) time (ie palmar)
2) laziness
3) Scum

I find 1 and/or 2 the most likely explanations, based on the day 3 lynch

>.> Oats, what is mega useful look like in your mind?

Keep it simple - the most straightforward explanation is usually the correct one. It's more likely that CC / VE are town who caught scum Snarfs, and not some elaborate day 1 bus strategy, and that prplhz is just lurker scum skating by and not a super busy town player who lost all will to play and isn't even making proper reads.

No one has made an honest effort case on CC or VE post Snarfs flip - if your fear that they are scum are well founded and not just natural paranoia that comes in a game of mafia, then there should be evidence to support that. No one has provided such evidence so either they are amazing scum players who don't slip (especially when acting with regards to each other and 1 more scum member) OR, they are town, plain and simple.

Like ... the only useful discussion is ultimately, who should we lynch? I think it should be prplhz or phagga, and I've outlined why. If you build a serious case on VE / CC that people start wagoning, I'll build a serious defense, but there's no point in preemptively doing that for me - in fact it's probably detrimental as it detracts from scumhunting. If you want a couple of reasons on why I think they are town I can give that too, but it isn't useful for lynching mafia a la prplhz or phagga.


@jay - it is kinda weird that out of prplhz phagga and debears you choose debears.
Why you do that?

Phagga, Prlphz, Debears. Thoughts?

I think Sloosh is town. Mocsta flipping should make that clear. Scum nominated three towneis day one. I wish everyone else caught on this fact sooner. And didn't lynch Mocsta. This is why i preferred killing CC yesterday Because he wasn't in that initial group.

I think phagga has a good chance to flip red. Also I think Debears is a candidate for a lynch as well.


You completely dodged Oats question. What do you think on Oats case on slooshs? What on sloosh's and my response?

I will be on and off for the 10-12 hours. I will write up a post about my thoughts on Ve and around the snarfs lynch, hoping to give you guys a better insight on what was going on in my head.

will also do some rereading and comment on a few more things.

Finally, prplhz activity has dropped so hard by now it's no longer funny. His early play looked ok, but his low activity and interest for the last 5 days smell like scum prplhz.

Explanation of my vote switch from VE to snarfs:

Towards the End of D1 I read through VE's filter and found this hole in his reasonig regarding the Palmar vote. I asked him several questions. However, he did not answer the last one. Instead, I saw this post of Mocsta (and his follow-up) and prplhz vote on VE. However, I was by far not feeling save enough about my read on VE to actually lynch him. VE had pointed out stuff about palmar that I thought were good, so I was really undecided on him. I wrote this:

I am confident in my vote on JX and will not shift away from it, just to make this clear.

k, so looks like I'm not gonna get an answer from VE in the next few minutes. I'm off to bed, it's almost 2 am here. A couple of things:

- VE is not a good lynch today, i do not agree with prplhz there.
- I am warming up to a Palmar lynch, because VE's point about his behaviour (voting prplhz, trying to shift votes away from JX) are pretty solid. Nevertheless, it's JX today,

let's see him flip red.



I really did not want to lynch VE at this point, all I wanted were answers to my question to get a better read on him. However, I feared that a wagon might pop up on VE once I was gone, so I wanted to make it clear that I would not support a lynch on him currently.



VE failed to answer my question for a longer time to my satisfaction, and so I finally made a case on him. At that point I had my vote on Yamato, who I felt more sure that he was scum. The case on VE should mostly be generate pressure on him (he had ignored me a few times when asking for answers), and hopefully get some more insight in his alignement. he then finally answered. The answer would explain his behaviour, although it could have also been a lie to straight up cover that he was just scum losing track of what he had done earlier. Ve then followed up with a few posts that made me feel even more unsure about my scum read.

Next followed Cheese's case on snarfs. I answered that there were a few minor points that I disagreed, but that I generally liked the case and that cheese's case make snarfs an alternative to vote. I also wrote that I would prefer Yamato over snarfs. I left out VE on purpose, because I had started to feel unsure about him.

Yamato answered my questions in a way that convinced me that he was the wrong guy to lynch. Now i was sitting on the fence on who to vote. I realized at that point that my vote might be deciding, so got I got scared to vote the wrong guy. I had no clear preference anymore, cheese's case on snarfs made sense. I had my own doubts on VE still. So who do I pick? I tried to get more input from others:

Sloosh, since your vote is on VE: do you think snarfs is not scum or VE is the better lynch?

Mocsta, I at least think you have some reason here. What say you to snarfs lynch?

I have no idea what the scum rationale is supposed to be for this supposed mislynch anyway. Scum would have bussed VE so fucking hard, hit there heads on the ground doing so.


Why would they buss VE harder when he is scum then when he is town?


(I realise that the above was a dumb question, but I was so worked up at that point I could barely think straight)

Then jay and Sloosh started to pressure me because I had a case on VE and none on snarfs:

I think VE is scum for sure. We need you on this lynch to kill him. He has been soft defended by numerous players. Because hes scum and they don't want him to die. I don't think Snarfs is scum Because currently the people on him are on my scum list. And the people on VE are on my town list. Also VE has done alot of scummy things. Phagga you wrote a big case on VE before. I'm surprised that you have any doubts about VE

Yea I find it this interesting as well. Phagga legit wrote a big case on VE. And know that VE isn't getting lynched he's hesitating


At that point I pretty much crumbled. I thought "yeah, they are right, I had a case on VE, let's lynch him".

Dude, I might do the deciding vote here, I just want to be sure it's the right pick.

That said, snarfs is a lurker, for whatever reason. VE had stuff in his play that just did not make any sense from a town perspective. Let's lynch VE.

##Vote: VisceraEyes


The problem was: I had a really bad feeling about it. I went back and checked Cheeses case. I saw him pushing the snarfs lynch hard in the thread. I remembered that I was not that confident in VE being scum. And then I thought: "I have to lynch the guy who I think has the highest probability to flip scum".

Which led to the vote switch.

I was still unsure after the vote switch, until I took a break and walked away from the comp and went outside for some fresh air. After coming back, I was sure I did the right thing and left my vote on snarfs.




Regarding sloosh's Unvote: I read pretty fast over that post (or most posts, at that point) and did not realise that he had actually unvoted snarfs again. I thought his vote was already on snarfs. (as I said, I could not think straight anymore). I did not conciously decide to sheep him or anything, although I can't rule out that this subconciously influenced me on my decision (I did have a town read on sloosh).

I was aware on how the vote switch would look. I knew I would get heat for it later on, but I did not care. All I ask every single one of you who want to vote me / is voting me: Consider if the vote switch cannot be town motivated. If you really think that a townie would never do what I did the way I did it, then well, leave your vote on me. If you do see a likely town motivation behind my vote switch, then I hope you have more reasons to vote me, since that switch alone is not alignement indicative.

Because it's a topic that is still being discussed, and several people seem to base their read on me at least partially on that vote switch. I wanted to lay out my thoughts and feelings and try to show my point of view. Hopefully I can convince other townies that I am not scum to prevent a mislynch on me.
