1. He didnt vote for the person he claimed was the scummiest d1 instead voting for glurio with only two votes on glurio so it was still anybodys game as to who got lynched at the time he swapped his vote.

Why I voted for Glurio

I've justified this vote in a few posts, but since it's obvious none of you are interested in reading my filter, here I go.

First of all, the point has been raised that I didn't follow through on this quote:

I want to try something different this game. If we keep LAL-ing we're not going to find scum. We haven't found scum D1 in a long time, so perhaps we should take a look at how we evaluate D1 in order to have a better chance of lynching scum (which would put them at a huge disadvantage if we could get one). We're never going to get better at Mafia unless we analyze what we are doing wrong and trying to make an effort to fix it. We can't just keep sitting here and say "Ok, we're gonna LAL. Cross your fingers everyone". I've said this before, but we need to have faith in our ability to find scum. I'm putting my confidence in scum-hunting into this vote. I think you should too (with whoever you think is scum).


And this one:

Take a look at my scum play from NMM XXXIII. Why do you think I got away with being scum for so long? Because I was active and looking pro-town.

If we take out a scum with a "loud voice" now, our chances of winning go way up.


Anyone who says this should also have looked at this quote:

One thing that I want to add to my paragraph: If the town decides to reinvent it's play, the scum have to adjust to it. This could be a good way to catch scum (in theory), as the changes they would have to make would be a lot easier to screw up than the town's changes. That's only true if all of the town players buy in to reinventing their game, which is hard to do.


Take notice of the bolded part. Me making this change to actually take out scum reads D1 would only work if the whole town bought into the change. This did not happen. Everyone continued to try to get lurkers to talk and to make arguments against 5-6 players (which isn't the best idea in the closing hours before the lynch as we needed to consolidate). I pointed this out in a few posts why I did not vote for WB:

Alright, since it's obvious no one is going to look at my filter, here are the reasons that I've already stated why I think WB is scum:

-Claiming town way too hard
-Playing victim from XXXVI
-No actual scumhunting
-Asking Mocsta to stop pressuring him
-

-Sheeping on everything that comes his way
-Hiding in the shadows after the pressure died down on him
-Saying we should vote for Sylencia because he's lurking and playing similar to the game he played scum in
(when in fact Glurio has exhibited the same behavior and multiple people have been lurking)


Everything in bold, I feel like he has continued to exhibit the behavior or has not adequately answered. Everything below the line is in my second case


Warbaby. These are the reasons I'm voting for you.
You're not reading my filter. You're not taking the time to give me full answers, just OMGUSing and making emotional responses.


There are others who post less who have also contributed no actual scumhunting
The "why don't we both stop posting for a bit" post seems quite reasonable to me. The thread was being clouded with a ton of irrelevant yammer.
The fact that warbaby has echoed others is lamentable but not unique. Sometimes you agree with a case that is presented.
The fact that he wishes to vote for Sylencia is also not unreasonable. In fact, it could be construed as scumhunting. It isn't like Sylencia is a WORSE target than many other lurkers.

None of what I say makes any claim to "prove" WB as town, but it gives reasonable doubt to his scumminess (IMO). As such, I still request that we lynch somebody with extremely low post-count and contributions. I feel like you are tunnelling really hard for no reason cora. I'm still willing to look at a WB lynch for sure, BUT NOT TODAY.

Point out what you'd like. I haven't made a case against many people; neither, iirc, have I weighed in on 0 post non-participant vs low count lurker. Those facts are hardly relevant.

I'd point out that no one has really made a case against you at all. As far as I see it, your agenda has been to make the town atmosphere negative. Yes, it takes two to get into a flame war and I'm not giving war baby any credit avoiding those spats either. In the least Mocsta has shown that he's willing to listen, even though I think his vote for me is weak at best. You on the other hand have tunnel visioned on your target of the moment at each point. Scum hunting is fine and being aggressive is fine. But the belligerent tone you've taken at many points, especially over exceptionally minor things, isn't beneficial to the town. Rather, it seems to me like you want everyone to spend their time scrutinizing your target so that they avoid you entirely. Your "We haven't gotten scum day 1 lynching lurkers, so lets try a new tack" comment from a while back (would quote but still on phone) keeps on sounding like "Let's lynch a loud voice" to me. In my experience the louder voices are almost always town; I even think one of the guides says something similar.

Now you're going to ask why I'm not voting for you (likely), but I still think that you're misguided right now and not an active dissident. So my vote remains in place for right now.


Please explain to me why being aggressive is scummy.

If we're going to keep thinking that all "loud voices" are town, at least one scum is going to slip by for a long time.

Speaking of loud voices, you were SO adamant for so long on WB lynch now that's it's close to lynch time you unvote? What is your rationale?


Cause it's obvious no one is going to vote with me.
Sometimes, one's agenda needs to be pushed back to benefit the group as a whole. I didn't back down before because I wasn't sure how the votes were going to be consolidated. Since it's obvious town does not want to try something different for D1, it looks like it's not going to be WB.

I felt like Sn0 made great points and the fact that he said he was open to voting for WB later made me feel secure that I wasn't going to lose all of the traction in my case due to new developments happening. That's why I switched onto Glurio. But why Glurio? I made a few explanations:

Disagree.

You got HEAPZ of town cred because Spag was mislynched sticking up for you. Made everyone auto-assume you were town.
You maintained the town cred by being involved in discussion; but IIRC you didnt step on toes or push your own agenda =>> active blendy


Alright we can talk about this later.

Anyways, my vote is for _______. They haven't done much scumhunting, they've lurked for most of the game, and as the evidence shows, there's always a lurker scum.

Who I'm filling in the blank with is still up in the air. I'm looking at either Glurio, Mandalor, or Geript.

@WoS Why in the world are you bringing this up now?

It's a hard decision for me to make (because there is nothing to choose from between the two). I'm guessing Mandalor's vote is just him not thinking.

Lynching Glurio would go a long way in either proving or disproving my case towards WB. His town claim is even stupider than WB's as well. There's not much else to say.

you were the only person dead set against glurio (that commented)
Can you please give more reason than meta to why you thuoght he was town; you said my reasoning was sound, yet you refused to jump on... I want to know why.


I never said I thought he was town, I said I didn't think he was scum. My read wasn't any better than null, in the post I linked earlier. You insinuating I called him town is putting WIFOM into my mouth, which is not what I said.

One of the people that lynched glurio is scum. I refuse to believe 3 towns lynched him. We need to focus on:

Sevryn
Mocsta
cdgCorazon

And perhaps we can find a scum. It's fine if you guys still want to make cases on me, but I didn't just lynch a townie.

Sevryn seems the most questionable. He really needs to post a lot more to show he's not a lurky scum.

True, i just read the post again; sorry for the misrepresentation.
That you stood up for me, made me think you thought he was town.
Not sure why you would step in to defend a "null' read; even now with hindsight, thats an odd move to make.


Because why would I lynch, or agree to the lynch of, someone I have a null read on, when there are lurkers like sylencia (at the time) and sevryn still in the game?


Because Glurio and Syl were/are playing the same type of game (lurking) in my eyes, and apparently others agreed (by looking at the votes).

Hey guess what, we didn't "lynch a loud voce" and he flipped town...

Uh...glurio was plenty loud right at the end with his ass on the line.


But overall he was quiet. His filter is about a page and a half. Not a lot over 48 hours, especially with at least a third of it 30 minutes before lynch.


My justification for the vote was there. I put three people who I felt like voting for:

Geript
Mandalor
Glurio

I didn't vote for Sylencia because I think WB is scum, why would I vote with him?

I didn't vote for Geript because it was obvious he wasn't going to get lynched.

I had to choose between Mandalor and Glurio. Glurio's ridiculously stupid town claim put my vote on him and his OMGUS vote stayed me on him.

I've stated multiple times that there wasn't much to choose from between the 4 players. Glurio's actions the last hour of play (a majority of his posts) looked the scummiest to me and so I voted for him.

I didn't jump on Syl's vote because 2 wasn't enough to lynch Warbaby and (as I've said) it was obvious that no one wanted to lynch him.

I didn't want to stay on WB because the vote was 3-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 (exaggeration) and I didn't want to add another "1". My plan of "sticking with my guns" was assuming for a vote of 5-3-1 (or something similar). I did not want to waste my vote when it became a lot more valuable. So I committed to someone who was going to get lynched today.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

In the effort of choosing who to vote for, I'd like to point out that WB, Geript, and Glurio have not made any strong arguments against each other (and WB/Geript have explicitly said they don't think the other is scum/is town).

My Last Will


Just in case I do get killed tonight. I’m not sure what the odds are, but I know they’re greater than zero. So as a preventative measure, I will post some thoughts on other players in the game.

Warbaby- You all know my thoughts about WB. I’m going to lay off for a little bit and pursue other reads (if I survive). Sn0 is right about the confirmation bias thing. Perhaps it’s started to set in a bit. I’m still suspicious, but I’ll save it for later.

Geript- In all honesty, his case against me had a little bit of merit, but most of my answers were in the other posts on my filter. The interesting part is that he is only focusing on my vote for Glurio when there are 2 other people who helped seal Glurio’s lynch. His whole strategy of setting up half-cases so that others can finish them off is lazy town at best, scummy at worse. However, I would still like to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is adjusting to a different way of playing Mafia. I think he got a bit too emotional when he said Moc and I were basically forcing him out of the game.

WoS- I know this point has been discussed to death but I really don’t like the fact that he threw his vote away D1 (scum don’t usually care about the lynch unless it’s one of their own) and his non-vote for Sevryn was scummy as well. I’ll be keeping an eye out on him.

Syl/Mandalor/Sevryn/OO/Testsubject(Basically everyone who fit how Glurio was playing)- Post more (or do a better job than the person you replaced). Don’t wait until the lynch deadline gets close to give us your reads. Be proactive scumhunters.

I’m sorry this is probably shorter than it should be, but I must go to work.

Town
What do you think of this offer?

If I read right; he is offering to help shoot targets for us during the night?

Is this something we want to consider as a collective? Or just lynch the lying muda farker?



My quick thoughts on the matter.
Pros
We could essentially have "lynch" votes @ night, for the SK to target
which could put pressure on scum to make mistakes

Cons
Do we even know this guy is SK > scum?
Just cos he said so, doesnt mean so

Can we trust him to shoot who we agree to?
If he lies and shoots a townie, then we in real shit losing another two townies

In the middle
We going to have to get rid of him some stage of the game; lets say we keep him, then during Day3 we find scum. Who do we lynch; scum or SK?


I dont see a a good risk/reward. We cant guarantee he will shoot scum (due to bad reads; or trusting he will shoot who we ask). + we might get a conflict of interest when we do find scum.

My suggestion is to lynch him today; but happy to discuss this matter out if others feel differently.

Certainly, I am not in control of your vote.

I agree, lynch him (my vote is already that way).

But not sure if others are going to "outnumber" my vote by saying he can take out lurkers or whatever.

Hopefully the above posts convinces them it isn't worthwhile.

I used to be good at math, and while I'm not as good at it now, it's pretty certain that at the very least I can't afford to shoot another town member at this point so you guys better choose wisely. I can be a dead sociopath, or I can be your mercenary sociopath. Both suck for me, but one lets me have a whoooole lot more fun than the other.

Just the thought of you guys wielding me as a weapon and the scummers shitting their pants makes this whole reveal worth it.

Except for that whole roleblocker thing, if that's a scum-side ability (don't fucking claim it if you're town), which could shut me down right quick. Then again, that leaves mister tracker free to snoop around.

Me dont get that?

13 players; we down to 10.

1 SK
?2 or 3 scum?
6 or 7 town.

Scum need to outnumber town AND get rid of SK to win. I dont see how you cant afford to shoot a townie; scum have to lynch/shoot you, and I expect you to be bullet proof (as no DT in the game). So will take 2 nights for scum to kill you.

Town cant afford to lose a townie in general; let alone 3 down. But we are not in MYLO situation either if you want to be technical.

The problem with lynching him is that it is an easy lynch that generates no discussion and gets us no closer to finding scum.

That said, I can't possibly see how leaving him alive is a good idea for now. I'll go over the implications in more detail later, but suffice to say that if the best we can come up with Day 1 was a 3-2-1-1-1-1-1 vote, then I don't see the value in town having "control" (tenuous at best) of a loose cannon SK.

So for now,

Unacceptable. If you are SK your wincon is to kill everyone.

The way I see it, unless TestUser is lying, there is nothing to negotiate with you except how many years dungeon you're going to get.

The problem with lynching him is that it is an easy lynch that generates no discussion and gets us no closer to finding scum.

So for now,

##Vote: ObviousOne

I vote once my intent to lynch is clear and somewhat unlikely to change. Unfortunately, that is the case now.

I say we park the vote on him because there's absolutely no way to know he isn't the SK and actually just mafia. The only thing that would let us know that for sure is if the actual SK counter-claimed, which they would never do because they'd just let town kill a mafia for them and then kill a town at night to keep things close.

In the meantime, there are a lot of wills left to look at and dissect, and certain players who haven't said anything for a long time. Still plenty to discuss; still three scum to look for, whether we vote for those reads today or not. I'll be answering Mocsta's questions momentarily.

(You know, ObviousOne, you should have just claimed you were framed instead of doing the vigi claim which looks especially suspect after you asking for the vigi to claim hours earlier.)

Mocsta N1: Last Will

[zarepath]I am so conflicted with this guy. In my opinion, his "fake case" actually unsettled town and is responsible for creating this split vote outcome.
I am still trying to piece together whether the outcome was simply not thought through enough (town); OR intentional (scum).
My concern is that, zarepath did not deliver the thorough analysis of this "experiment" like promised - at least I dont recall reading it. I also noticed at the end of Night 1, zarepath shared some reads; but these are based on the thread dynamics, not his experiment (conveniently....) I think zarepath needs to provide *VERY* clear reasoning behind his actions this Day2. If needs be; pressure him for this.

Remember, the experiment itself is NULL. It comes down to WHAT he does with the information.

Im going to give you a quick run down on my worst-case interpretation:
  • Scum/SK looking for easy town cred
    spots a claim; cos your not town, run with an assumption that DT exists, and builds a fake case
  • The case doesnt get as much traction as you wanted; though no one broke it down, not many actually supported it with a vote.
  • You decide its better to gain town cred by ousting the play; and you did receive town cred
  • You promise analysis, and never follow through; just providing an easy summary list.

If I look at you in best case scenario:
  • You are VT
  • You spot the "claim" and being VT, u didnt pay attention to the OP and have a brilliant idea to build a fake case to see reactions.
  • The case doesnt get as much traction as you wanted; though no one broke it down, not many actually supported it with a vote.
  • You decide to give up the shenanigans and again spot more reactions.
  • You promise analysis; life got busy, or you saw nothing of note, and did not follow through.

The problem I have with 'best-case scenario" is; if there was nothing of note to provide analysis; why not just spill the beans instead of moving along like nothing happened? (Its obviously too late to say anything now, its just WIFOM)

Lastly, as I said before, i think your case was a major issue to why we could not consolidate votes Day1.

I want need detailed answers behind your reasoning zarepath.


I don't see how my case prevented consolidated votes; the foremost problem was the lack of a clear, compelling case from ANYONE. I can hardly take responsibility for everyone else's lack of strong cases. I can certainly take responsibility for my last-minute Mocsta vote based mostly on the fact that I didn't feel that strongly about any of the other candidates.

I gave up the shenanigans because I determined that in the long run it would do more harm than good, and that we needed several hours of clarity in order to put forth a good lynch. Honestly, a clear lynch target didn't come out of my fake case. I'm curious to see how Obvious flips tonight, because he visited Wave, and if he were mafia I think that people who completely ignored my case look scummier (they saw the DT claim and decided to kill him at night, although there's no nominal DT).

I was looking for two things -- people who liked my case and would agree with it but not actually do anything, and those who do not really process it or look at it critically. Those would be people who knew that person was town but didn't mind them dying and want to take credit for discussion/participation (ie, scum). This is why Warbaby, Sylencia, and Mandalor have all looked scummy to me. Warbaby immediately latched onto the case with no analysis, it was the first case Syl said anything about at all and he pretty much entirely agreed while adding a minor point to it, and Mandalor did something similar.

Mocsta, actually, first said "quite a few good points in that case," calling some educated assumptions and others anti-town, but not explaining which ones. In the end, he does do an analysis of Wave's defense as opposed to Warbaby's defense and concludes that Wave actually looks town in comparison to Warbaby. This is at a point when the fake lynch still hasn't taken off, it's sitting at 2 votes (myself and geript). So this makes your reaction to my fake case less scummy than that of Warbaby, Sylencia, and Mandalor, imo.

Sn0 "liked the case" but didn't want to lynch an active player D1, but then really disliked his defense. He wasn't super eager to go after him at first, so I didn't see that as scummy. Corazon liked specific parts of it but cautioned that the same points could be brought up against others. Geript is the one who actually broke down my case the most, and while in the end it led to him voting for Wave, he was obviously thinking critically, which led to my town read on him.

So while I could say that as a result of this tactic Warbaby, Sylencia, Mandalor, and Mocsta are three scum and 1 SK, that's obviously going too far. Sometimes town just says they like a case and don't think real hard about it. Perhaps a desperate Warbaby was just happy to see any case that wasn't on him, etc. But I still think that they are strikes against these people.
