Right now, I would kill Yamato because he looks like he is going to go rogue the whole game and not listen to us at all.

He's also expecting me to have scum reads 6-7 pages into the game and expecting every post I make to be an attack on someone. He changed the subject to put the focus on my lack of scum reads this early in the game (sheeping on your notion earlier that I was being wishy-washy, it's an unoriginal argument which is really scummy seeing as there's been so little discussion).

Basically, he wants the thread to be like the "Reign of Terror" from the French Revolution. I'm pretty sure that is not necessary for us to catch the scum.

A close second is Adam who has displayed the same desire to go rogue but hasn't been as abrasive.

what a terrible answer

we want to lynch scum not people who want to go rouge


Did you read anything besides the first line of my answer?

Did you ever explain how anything I've said makes me mafia?

Nope.

That every post should not be saying "_____ is scum, here's why". That's not discussion, that's "Reign of Terror".

Reads change during the game. You want me to come out and say that I think you are 100% scum confirmed without any possible changes of heart later on. That is ridiculous and you know it.

No, I want you to take any stance at all about anyone's alignment

And you aren't.

Then why, when I said that I disagreed with your desired way to play the game and that there were conflicts in your arguments, did you change the subject and put pressure on me? That's a scummy move. You tried to flip the tables and use Marv's momentum to attack me and making it look like you are scum hunting when in reality you are just pressuring me to be so good at Mafia that I have the scum team pegged down already. That is a scummy move. Do some real scumhunting.

Threatening me is not going to help disprove the "Reign of Terror" atmosphere that you are putting out here.

You picked an opportune moment to pile on the people questioning me, and all of what you had written was retreading stuff people had already put out there.

I was tired of talking about setup, which is pointless and was getting irritatingly stupid, so I put out my scum read. Since then, you haven't managed to take any stances about anyone being mafia at all for anything that is actually alignment indicative.

Now you're all-in because I'm your only read, so you call me scummy now when earlier you didn't.

I like this. Want to say why not?

He's arguing his point with me, standing his ground. It's that I'm mafia, but it's reasonable for him to think I'm just jumping on with you and others who had expressed dislike with him.

Arguing the point does nothing to get any better read on him.

Yes I would love to know why you are "bored of me". Is it because you realize I'm right? Is this a continuation of a trend to change the subject when the pressure is on you?

Don't get a hold on confirmation bias, here. I think you're probably not mafia, and that means it's really not useful to continue this line of attack anymore.

For reference, I'm going to post my list of reads of the game right now. I don't really care if people think I'm right or wrong, but I'll include most relevant alignment indicative information to go along with it.

TOWN

Town criteria vary from person to person, and a lot of quick town reads I get are based on meta or simple activity in conjunction with meta. For some players, these things don't apply so much, so I judge them based on reads. You guys can figure out which ones of these I get how, because I hate telling people why I have a town read on them, in general.

Marv
Corazon
Adam
Iamp
Dienosore
Oats

NULL

These players either haven't posted enough or are posting things that don't give me an alignment feel of them. Obviously.

Snarfs
Acrofales
Keirathi
Zarepath
Alderan
Sylencia

Lots of lurky fuckers so far this game and one ambiguous dude.

MAFIA

HAPA

Yamato, I know we're not agreeing over general policy and whatnot, but just promise me that you'll atleast seek the town's input before you go "IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!" Playing hero can end really really badly.


A lot of his early posting was devoted to arguing with me about the setup, which many people did, but the way he did it bothered me, and it is exemplified in this post. He parroted Marvellosity a lot and generally tried to follow him. Example:

I understand how having one town looking player duel one mafia looking player might stagnate discussion after the duel. I do think I will be able to extract enough information from the selection period to make a good lynch decision on my own, however, should town fail to implement you guy's plan effectively.


Hence the policy I proposed earlier.

First he makes this post, asking Marv to expand on Cora, and Marv does. What is interesting here is Hapa's next move:

If you've ever seen any of my other games, you'll find that no one ever likes me...


Let's not start with the "woe is me" attitude. Why did people not like you in your previous games, and what are you going to do about it this game?


He begins a line of questioning with Cora, presumably with a negative attitude toward him. How does he follow up?

Corazon, I get the impression that you're more concerned with calling Sylencia a dick rather than anything else. It's fine if you don't get along with him, but it does nothing for town objectives.


Meekly. So far a lot of his posting is this kind of thing, where he mildly scolds a player (myself, Corazon, etc) for doing something vaguely anti-town. He doesn't seem particularly interested in finding mafia, just with appearing to do so with vague questions that he never really pushes, such as this:

Hey guys,
Cora is scummy for wanting to lynch rouge players and not actually scum, and in no way linking rouge play to playing like scum.
Marv is also kinda suspicious. He seems too polite and that policy post had pregame written all over it.


Two things about this post:
1) It sounds a lot like you're jumping on Cora by taking his one statement about "rouge players" out of context. He's been pretty vocal about Yamato, and I think it's pretty clear that he links Yamato's behavior to scummy behavior.
2) That Marv read makes no sense. If you actually read his filter, I don't know how you could come to the conclusion that he's been over-polite. Example:

It's not insanely difficult to enforce. It should be not too hard to find at least the group of people we want to lynch into, and then give a deadline/ultimatum for 2 of them to duel, or if there's 1 clear frontrunner, give a couple of people the choice of whether they want to duel with the frontrunner.

Actually the information you'll get from how people deal with this while under suspicion is probably far greater than any information you'll get from just having one clear townie dueling with someone suspicious. Whether ppl duel like they're asked, or go afk, how the suspects deal with the whole dueling situation - there's a whole mine of good shit there.

Further, I overwhelmingly back my judgement on who mafia are and are not over yours, yamato, so the last thing I need is you running off playing the hero.





He comments on things in people's play, but I haven't seen him make a real comment about alignment aside from iamperfection yet this game, and I'm not at all sold on that idea. I don't believe Hapahauli is concerned with finding mafia, but I do think he's doing a particularly good job blending in by asking a lot of questions and being mildly active. His mafia meta is somewhat close to this, if I remember Dessert correctly, so I'm interested to see how it develops. So far, he's been different from the town-leader Hapahauli that I am used to seeing.

THRAWN

Mostly a meta read, to be honest. In Normal Mini IV, iamperfection accurately categorized thrawn's mafia play as lurky, and successfully lynched him on that idea. So far he's been fairly lurky, and what he has posted doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me with the idea that he's town. His biggest interaction is with Oats, and I don't see where he reaches any sort of conclusion about Oats in it.

Also of note is his "scum read" on iamp, which he has wholly failed to justify beyond:

lol, clearly this town ain't big enough. that much is already apparent



Those first posts are a bitch to write, aren't they? Way to say nothing!

What do you think of yamato and cora?


I'm not willing to commit to a read on cora yet. Nothing he's posted so far is all that alignment indicative, coming from him. As for yamato... maybe slighty town? I disagree with the logic behind nearly all of what he's said so far but he's acting in a townish manner.

Iamp could be scum. All he's done is drop off a town read and comment on how useless the thread is.

Yeah I think iamp's scum. I can't feel the townie thought process behind his posts and his explanations are short and dismissive.


To me, that's not exactly evidence of strong scumhunting. Perhaps time will flesh this out, but right now I'm not impressed.

Anyway, it's early and a bunch of people have yet to post but that's where I sit right now. I'm going to bed. I'll be sporadically active the next couple of days, but I'll have enough time to catch some mafia for sure.

He did a good enough job summarizing his filter in a couple sentences. You can look at it yourself, Oats, and make your own decision. That's how we play mafia.

The only thing I don't agree with in Zare's post there is his read on Hapa. I suppose it is a minor point, because his waffle is based on Hapa looking pro-town when I think most people that have seen mafia Hapa know him able to be pro-town.

The scummiest thing about Hapa is the complete lack of aggression in anything he's doing.

What he is doing is also scummy, because it's not hunting scum. I don't even know what it is. I have no idea what his reads are at all.

I wouldn't say that his play this game is much of a jump from that. He want from not posting to posting nothing.

I will admit, Acro's posting in response to me calling for Hapa to duel is out of place. He disagrees with me, but seemingly still believes Hapa is mafia for his own reasons. It's odd that he feels he needs to cut me off there.
