Ok guys, I'm here. Thought I was getting back from vacation the night of the 24th but only getting back today due to some travel issues. Sorry for the inactivity, that shouldn't be an accurate representation of my play going forward. Having lurkers sucks so I'm going to try and get my ideas out about as many topics as quickly as possible, and if you have any specific questions for me let me know. Im in the library for the next our and a half or so, should be enough time to get something going.

Here we go. I don't like Deinosore's filter in the least.

Oh snap, early start! Hurray!

I just caught up with the thread. A few things:

- Snarf/Marv's plan to use all of our time to get a majority before dueling seems like the best and most logical path of action. No complaints there.

- Yamato, easy on the trigger amigo. I can see some merit to what you are saying, though. It might be very beneficial for the town to have someone like you who is willing to duel in order to prove alignment, as long as you follow the general town consensus. Could help to keep everyone honest...

...On the other hand, you might be mafia... in which case having you as a baseline enforcer would only result in towny deaths. Until you get cleared somehow, I think we should stick with the plan to just take our time.

- Corazon: I don't know you, therefore I don't not like you! <3 Not sure why marv is putting doubt on you already, but I generally trust him. Is there something about you I should know?


Check out this rampant pandering. If you had to set up a first post that didn't step on anyone's toes, this would be the template. Multiple topics, wishy wasy attitude, no hard stances on anything, and of course "finish with a question".

I mean, I could go post by post and show you examples of inefficient town play but I'll just show you examples from his most "productive post"

I've cooled off a bit on Adam. If he still wants to get some, I'm here to call his bluff, but I think our time is better spent looking at a few other people right now. His level of activity is about 10x's what I have seen in past games already.

The connection between Marv and Snarf has me puzzled. I don't know what to make of it. Marv has heat coming in from a few directions, which is understandable considering how he has played so far, but Snarf on the other hand... he started off posting strong, boldly claimed towny, then kind of fell off the planet when people started agreeing with his policies. Seems fishy to just dump out like that after everything started agreeing and the spotlight was moved away.

Secondly, Oatsmaster jumped into the conversation a bit late, but the way he did it has me a little suspicious. He instantly threw doubt on Cora and started attacking Marv. He hasn't said anything super incriminating yet, but he is definitely on my 'To Watch' list.

Overall, there just really isn't enough info yet for me to be 100% about any read. I'm not even going to pretend I'm that good at mafia after two games to where I can call people out like that on day one. I definitely have a few suspicions, though I don't really see a reason to muddy up the waters with my speculation right now.



The key themes that hes trying to get across to you are as follows:
- He is not good at this game.
- No one is talking enough to know anything.
- Let's not jump to conclusions.

But here's the kicker- "I don't really see a reason to muddy up the waters with my speculation right now".
Yeah, let's not use time to discuss our scum reads.... let's keep them to yourself so you don't get any unwanted attention..... Great plan. Between this and the "my diagrams aren't ready" defense he's set himself up to lurk for the next three weeks.

Hello!

Being a bit late to the party, there are things that we all might have missed in the heat of the moment. Is there anything that you have found from the pervious discussion that you want to point out or that you want to discuss more?

If you had to have two people duel each other right now, who would it be and why?


Ok so I made a post on my best read right now which is Dienosore. If I had to pick two I'd go with Snarfs.

Reason being I think early in the game your best chance to lynch scum is identify the low hanging fruit, ie. those that embody both scummy play and "noob" play. My idea is a bit WIFOM'y but anytime I've been mafia it's never been the experienced player that gets targeted early, it's always the seemingly "newer" player who leaves some subtle clue. Experienced players seem to make it through the first day without attracting too much attention, and as such need more time to evaluate.

Snarfs filter is tough because it's obviously limited (not that I have much room to talk) but the major issues are just the pure conjecture coming out+ Show Spoiler +

Reading through the thread in one sitting gave me the chance to see just how everyone's feelings have been progressing. Yamato and later Marv have been increasingly "suspected" as town, for better or for worse, and as such it seems that rather than getting in a pissing match with townies, Snarfs took the easy way out, the way that he thought would not garner that much attention.

But GAIZ!!111 He said he didn't want to "derail things". Let's think though, doesn't that sound similar to Dienosore's "muddy up the water" quote?

In hindsight, I shouldn't have posted that. I should have wrote it down in a notepad or something, but I was on my phone and felt like airing out an observation to the rest of town. For the record, Corazon is not even close to my top 5 after some honest consideration. As I've said repeatedly, it was just an observation.

It's a question. Which he answered. And which 2 or 3 other people took up questioning him further on. At first I was taken aback by yamato's stance, thinking there's no way town could think that's a good idea, so I questioned him and watched as he responded to marv & co. Then I remembered that he just came off an impressive victory over scum and is extremely confident right now and things started adding up as to why he could be so cocky.

I decided it'd be pointless to continue questioning Corazon since he seems really town aside from that single observation. Again, it was probably a mistake to point it out in the thread.

I just mentioned him. He looks bad, but not as bad as hapa/keirathi and possibly thrawn. I do need to read more of thrawn again though.


What do you see in Keirathi's filter that you don't see in Thrawn's?

Reason I ask this is that they are both devoid of anything substantive, but Dien's case in my mind has more to go on than both of them. The way you're making scum picks seems completely arbitrary to me.

I wonder.... is there a group of people that would want to choose their scums picks completely randomly?...

Ok guys. Having a night start we are in a unique situation. Scum knows that they are going to get a kill right off the bat, with no voting before hand. So what are they going to do? Most are going to either come out in support of, or not attack, the person they're going to kill....

Right?

Right

So let's see who was vocally pro Marv, who was indifferent, and who took a stand against him. By the way these are just some notes I'm jotting, we need to get some feedback on them. I'm fairly certain they could prove to be useful.

Protip: this is not who I think is "Leaning Town","Null", "Suspicious" This is what Im inferring from people's filters about their thoughts on Marv.

Leaning Town
Hapahauli- Agrees with Marv mostly, Yamato claims that he was parroting marv. Will receive a more in depth analysis of his filter.
Acrofales- Defends Marv on multiple occasions. Had him solid town prior to his flip (which he made sure to broadcast just before the night cycle).
Dienosore- Got you.I fucking got you. And this ladies and gentlemen is why I do this kind of analysis and why I will be the most invaluable townie. "I've already mentioned that I trust you. If you sincerely believe that he isn't scum" That really should be all you need, but look closer, every single one of his posts have something to do with Marv, and how Marv is taking heat, and how he doesn't think that's right. Perfect cover, all he has to do is lurk around, drop a few "I <3 Marv" bombs and hope Alderan didn't catch you. Well I did. And Dienosore is scum.
Snarfs- Points out Dieno buddying Marv (in the softest most wishy washiest of ways) while simultaneously buddying Marv.
iamperfection- Claims Marv is not acting scummy based on Meta.
yamato77- Seems steady in his belief that Marv was town through out the thread.

Null
Alderan- I've been inactive as fuck, but for full disclosure the only thing I said about Marv was that many believed he was a solid town. In my mind I had that feeling, just not in the business of broadcasting who I think is town/blue.
Zarepath- Points out those that kept shoving Marv into the spotlight, specifically Oatmaster.
Keirathi- Minor chatter between the two but nothing noteworthy.
Thrawn2112- Not particularly strong of a stance either way, but does point out inconsistencies in Oatmaster's suspicions, namely the drastic switch towards the middle of the day.
Adam4167- Only references Marv in the sense that Dienosore was buddying him so hard. He also points out a couple of the concepts I brought up here, but I didn't catch them the first time. The idea that scum is not going to come out hard against town day 1.
cDgCorazon Doesn't mention a lot of his feelings about Marv personally but does have an interesting interaction with Yamato in which he assumes that because Yamato thought he was scummy he must also think Marv was scummy.
Sylencia- Does not mention Marv until he is dead.


Suspicious
Oatmaster- Early on is suspicious of Marv; switches directions. Interestingly targets Acrofales for defending Marv.

So here's my takeaways. Like I said, above is my notes for people to look through, however they are not making any claims (except for Dienosore, he's definitely scum). I'm going to have to go back and check out the timing of people's opinions. It is safe to assume that scum came to the decision after seeing Marv's contributions and thus their early posts would not be so supportive.

I think that is why Oatmaster is so intriguing as well. Early pressure, then a complete 180 that was caught by multiple people. Seems a little off. Anyway I'm done talking to myself. Let me read through what's gone on in the last couple of pages and start responding to people directly.

Not good because generally my reads are not very good. Maybe this game its different? I dont know.
yes I just discredited myself.
But no lynch is definitely not happening.


The interesting thing is when we do get to that situation where no-lynch is imminent, I think we will start to see some agendas pushed forward. Then we can figure out if they are scum pushed or town pushed. Perhaps that upside of your idea might cover all of the downsides...



I'd be careful with this line of thinking. Scum wants a no lynch, so if last second agendas are forming it's not going to be from them, it's going to be from town, and the scum are just going to hide in with the rest of us.

Ok so your plan is that we pick the one, and that person picks another to duel?

It just screams manipulation to me, like you are giving scum a way out of getting lynched, assuming the one we pick is scum.
Currently I dont have another plan, but I just don't think this is a good idea.


This is really bad town analysis.

Why would it be in manipulation the town has all the control. Let's say we majority vote for who should be the first dueler. If the person is town, then he should be allowed to pick someone he thinks is scummy. Nothing to see here, actually helps out our odds in case some one slips up.

Now let's say he's scum. He's gonna pick someone who might seem scummy to the town, but guess what, we just voted him with a majority vote as our first dueler, and because of that he already has a significant amount of votes against him. Scum gonna jump ship and get out of the lynch? Opens them up to a lot of criticism, especially if we can figure out the pattern.

I think this way gives us the most information and the highest chance of lynching scum. It's scary (or should I say scummy) that you don't see that.

And yes, I say we open it up to an official vote that we can monitor everyone's voting record. The town needs that info and we need to be able to find the votes easily within the thread.

Hmm... Well this sucks.

I don't buy the motivation of Adam to auto duel if he's scum. Yamato, what is it exactly that makes you think he's more scummy that Keirathi other than that? Wreaks of over-zealous town.... like the ENTIRE rest of his filter.

I find it interesting that this entire move leaves people like Thrawn and Dieno out.

The only motivation for Adam to aggressively duel like that is if he thought there was a real fear of being matched up with another Mafia (Thrawn?) If that's the case then the Adam lynch seems to give the most information. I just don't see anything in either filter that would warrant a vote if this was a normal Mafia game.....

Didn't see the spoiler in your post. It went about as well as I thought it would. He shot someone, and was then shot and flipped GF. Thats exactly why I would assume scum wouldn't do it. Pretty far from optimal play imo....

Neither of those are good enough reasons to lynch. So again, let's NOT "take a stand".

I know that one being stupid and one being useless is not reason enough to lynch both. If I see some significant scum evidence on BOTH then I would advocate a double lynch, but because it's fairly certain they are not both scum then what you are proposing is essentially a random lynch.

Hey town, how about we not take a stance on things like double lynching townies.

can kill adam for being stupid
can kill kier for being useless


Neither of those are good enough reasons to lynch. So again, let's NOT "take a stand".

you know something i dont?


I know that one being stupid and one being useless is not reason enough to lynch both. If I see some significant scum evidence on BOTH then I would advocate a double lynch, but because it's fairly certain they are not both scum then what you are proposing is essentially a random lynch.

i dont know what your expecting some sort of smoking gun evidence that so and so is mafia it isnt gonna happen This is an educated guessing game after all.

Kier doesn't care about this game. He is not interested in finding scum
Adam did something stuipd that acro points out should be punished. both can be mafia


I guess it just comes back to your personal opinion on lynching lurkers day 1. I'm against it, never works out. A double lynch here feels the same way.

We need to lynch scum and for those saying killing both isnt taking a stance it is. It means i can see arguments for either one being scum.

So lets say we lynch Keirathi. Atm I'd say there's a fair chance he flips scum, but I am nowhere near sure enough to bet the game on it. That means Adam gets off free.

If Keirathi flips scum, that is awesome. If he flips town, then we are virtually forced to lynch Adam tomorrow. Possibly resulting in another mislynch, because it turns out he really was just a stupid townie and not scum.

If we lynch Adam and he flips "stupid townie", then Keirathi might still be scum. So far Keirathi has made absolutely no move toward scumhunting (past his case on Adam, which in hindsight isn't nearly as bad as it looked when he made it, but is still not stellar).

So at the moment, a double lynch looks like by far the best option. It also leaves us with the maximum time (48 hours) and if either Adam or Keirathi start to look way more townie than they do now, we can always just lynch one of them.

If we were to lynch one of them right now, my first choice would absolutely be Adam, but I still like the Keirathi lynch too. Chance of both being scum is tiny, but given that I estimate the chance of Adam being scum at 75% and Keirathi being scum at 60%, that means my estimate of at least one being scum is 90%. A 1 for 1 trade seems good to me at the moment and a 90% chance at a 1 for 1 trade feels better than a 75% chance at lynching a scum.


I say we lynch one (I'm still working through which one) and then wait and see how the night goes. No reason rushing into it if we have tools that would shed some light on the issue. Anyway its about time we stop talking about it, as it doesn't seem that a double lynch has much shot, and we're going round in circles.

so there is a lot of talk about what adam has done, and adam's meta, but everyone is brushing over talking about keir. remember that regardless of how you rate his point against adam.... that point is all he's talked about the whole game. he's also said that thrawn's scum because of meta... not a very hard statement to make. he has done absolutely nothing all game yet somehow lots of you have townreads on him? if you are one of the people who have a town read an keir, pls explain

Err, it's instant majority, so unless you won't be around to hammer Keir if he approaches the 8 votes needed to lynch, you can safely make that statement by unvoting.

Mind explaining how unconcerned you seemed about the duel? You were around at the time, so give us your story. Did the duel come out of the blue? It did for me as I was reading it. You seem pretty calm:

This tunneling on the idea of the double lynch is incredibly scummy. Let it go, there's no way we're double lynching today, stop dissuading people from placing votes...


I like the idea of a scumhunt challenge, just wish it was actually happening.

Interesting. Why is it scummy to want to double lynch?


Got off on a rant the first time I answered this question and accidentally closed the tab. Do you really need to explain to you why lynching twice on the first day is less effective than lynching once?

This. Oh and night actions could be valuable tonight. Oh and having a vote count gives more information. Oh and lynching both doesn't force either of them to make good arguments that could be helpful.


Terrible play. Worse than Adam's duel imo.

No. You need to explain why it's scummy to want it.


It sets the town back a lynch. Period. To advocate setting the town back a night is scummy. I feel like I'm getting trolled, it seems so obvious that a double lynch is a bad idea right now.

You are the ONLY one who believes that they BOTH are extremely scummy. If I'm having a hard time trying to pick one to vote for, we're not killing them both.

I have to be getting trolled..... like.... you have to be fucking me....



Lets do this slow.

It is scummy because it advocates these ends:

- less time for discussion
- increased deaths at the time of least information
- dilutes voting and makes patterns more difficult to spot
- decreases motivation for duelers to present cases

Those are all facts. Double lynching does all of the things above. This has to do with what's in the towns best interest, and none of those things are in the towns best interest, thus I don't think it is a good idea.

I'm done with this. We won't be double killing tonight.

It doesn't decrease time for discussion. In fact, it increases it, we have to wait for the full 48 hours to get a no-lynch.

Doesn't dilute voting either, unless you think when two players flip, you can't learn anything from the fact that people voted for BOTH of them.

It INREASES motivation for duelers to present cases. We CANNOT no-lynch, so the best they can hope for is that "the other one" gets lynched. If people start leaning towards lynching Adam, then Keirathi is suddenly under very little pressure. As long as there's a serious chance he'll get lynched, he is in deep shit and should be convincing us to let him off the hook and JUST lynch Adam. Same goes for vice versa.

Anyway, I'm happy to let this rest, as the discussion has served its purpose: to clarify to me your thought process.



No you're wrong, and you're not even close.

Let's assume it take 40 hours to get to a decision. Then we lynch one, get more information. Then we have a mandatory 24 hour night period. Then we get more information. Then we have a 24 selection period (or if Adam is still alive a 3 minute selection period). Then we have another 48 hours to discuss all new information and assess our situation instead of jumping to that point right now.

Adding an extra voting category allows scum to hide among all 3. Also why would we add a category that would be so beneficial to scum? We set up a double lynch option and its extremely attractive if they know both are town. Allowing people to not vote one way or another is allowing them to lurk which hurts everyone. By even allowing the option for a double lynch we have dispersed our votes even more, making a coherent mafia that much more effective.

The motivation should be there regardless. If a guaranteed town is not motivated enough to defend themselves they sure as hell don't give a shit about someone else going down with them. Any added benefit it might have does not compensate the option of a double town loss.

I'm done talking about it. I'm pretty sure I hate a double lynch in every scenario, but I'll be playing it by ear every round. That said this round a double lynch would be inexcusable.

Tic toc tic toc.

Adam, Keirath, I need a write up on scum so I can make a decision. Just need some analysis, your best analysis, to keep you alive in the game.

Except that double-lynching doesn't magically stop the rest of the game from playing out. This whole thing you bring up is only relevant if double-lynching decreases the mislynches we can make. In the *most standard* situation, this is not the case.

You realize it's instant majority, right? Therefore unless it goes up to 6-6, there could be up to 5 players who don't vote without stating any opinion at all in your "ideal" scenario.

If it's extremely attractive to vote for a double-lynch, then you should be jumping at the opportunity of giving scum that option, shouldn't you? It'll catch them all out! If they both flip town you just lynch down the list of apathetic double-lynchers for the win!

Player X is voting for lynch candidate A: he clearly wants him dead far more than lynch candidate B.
Player Y is voting for neither and has stated he thinks both are scum, with a slight preference for lynching candidate B.

Which of these two players do you think is more easily swayed into voting for candidate B? I think player Y. Therefore, which of these two players is giving the candidate MORE motivation to be scumhunting and actively proving he's townie? The one that he has a hope of swaying? Or the one who has made up his mind and is just waiting to kill him?



Let's get a little different convo going.

If I vote double lynch, and we make it happen, and it ends up being 2 town, will you agree to duel Dienosore as soon as the next selection period starts?

I have 0 intention of doing it, wanted to see how you responded.

Do you not have any worries the Thrawn thing has been too easy, and if it wasn't for Adam he would have been almost unanimously sent to the duel?

No. If he's scum, then both Marv and I were gunning for him correctly. Scum has to be very careful of defending that.


That's enough buddying Marv for one day, big dog.

Alderan, do you think I'm scum?


I had suspicions on you early, but I those have kind of subsided. I'm certainly not putting you in the confirmed list, more null, but you're asking question I want answered so no reason to push you right now. You were just the only one talking in the thread, and like I said, I'm not completely sold.

Ok catching up on the thread, I'm going to respond to stuff as I see it.

Duel 1 Vote Count


Adam4167 (4): yamato77, Sylencia, cDgCorazon, Dienosore
Keirathi (2): thrawn2112, Hapahauli

7 votes needed to lynch. If a majority is not reached in 18 hours by 07:40 GMT (+00:00), both duelists will die.

I added gonzaw and Vivax's filters in the "Important Posts" spoiler.


Add Zarepath to the Keirathi side of things, he claims he's just not voting because he doesn't want a lynch before all due diligence is done.

Double Lynch (3): Acro, Iamp, Oats

No vote: Alderan, Snarfs

Alderan: you have not taken a stance at all, except to fight VERY hard against a double lynch. Why are you so vague about who you think is scum?

Snarfs: your conclusion seems to be that Keirathi needs to die. Why is your vote not where your mouth is?


Regardless, the temporary conclusion is that a double lynch is going to happen. To prevent that you're going to have to convince a minimum of 2 people:

people on the other candidate that they are voting the wrong way.
people voting for a double lynch that the other candidate is town.

Get to it. I'm happy with the outcome as it is right now. Lets see what this discussion brings us!


TBH I don't think either are scum. I've been trying to make heads or tails of it, and waiting on the analysis post from each. Adam posted his and it largely seems pretty good analysis. Yes it's disappointing that it took this long, but doesn't make him seem scummy.

That said I'm purposely holding my vote and I'm placing it wherever will prevent a double lynch. I don't think its a good idea, I don't have a decent scum read on either, I'd rather have Adam still alive probably but if its him or both dead, I'm choosing him.

I just don't know how you all can be that on board with a double lynch. That is a horrendous policy, why am I the only one talking about it?

Alderan, will you vote for Keirathi then? Adam looks more town than Keirathi does.


I will vote for whoever my vote would kill.

On the one hand if we kill Adam we set a precedent that early out of line duels make you appear more scummy and thus people won't want to do them.

But then on the other hand Adam's reads have been better than Keirathi's imo.

Again, number one goal is that they both don't die.

A townie would say that, scum wouldn't.

A townie would say "What I did was anti-town, but I will do it again without hesitation"?

Anyway, this seems to imply you have a town read on Adam, yet are completely happy lynching him and are just waiting to hammer whoever is hammerable. Explain your town read on Keirathi, or die next cycle.


I don't know who you think you are taking on the leader of the town position, because your play thus far has been so anti town it's ridiculous.

First off, I believe he's entirely too disinterested to be playing scum. It's always been my experience that scum early game are usually deliberate, you don't see a lot of afk time from when they are under pressure because it's easy enough to get your scum mates to write a couple responses you can just throw up. Just wreaks of a townie that's given up.

On the other hand he has offered absolutely nothing in the way of analysis, which is exactly why I said I would rather Adam live. It's not a complicated situation, I have townish reads on both, thus don't want both to die, if I had to chose it'd be Keirathi. The fact that we can't even choose who we want to kill because you've muddied up the waters so much with the fucking double lynch talk is absolutely asinine.

I can't find that statement anywhere... I found a statement where he suggests people will give him a hard time post-game.

Which means he knows he did something wrong, doesn't it? Now what did he do wrong? Well, that's in the post he quotes (quoted by me, and I quoted it from CT):
Show nested quote +

I find scum rarely do this, as they would rather just pounce on the person without actually giving them a chance to explain their behaviour, just in case the person has a reason for what they're doing, then the scum has to go find someone else to fabricate a case on. This is fake-able as scum, yes, but giving people a chance to explain themselves makes your job much harder.


This means he knows it was wrong. AKA anti-town.

And yet, he is unrepentant and warns that he will do it again.


So Acrofales you believe Keirathi is town then?

Adam MAY be an evil 3P, and that's based on speculation. I'm not entirely against mentioning the possibility, but potentially mislynching two townies Day 1, the day we have the least amount of information, BASED on the possibility of a third party when the OP doesn't even mention any specific third party roles, is idiotic.

Do you know what's even more idiotic? Complaining about how awful Adam's early duel was, how much info/work it lost for town, etc., and then declaring a policy duel against anybody who asks you for your reads. That makes you just as anti-town as Adam if you were to fulfill that -- that would be two days in a row that town is robbed of deciding, together, who needs to be up for lynch. You think town can survive that? That's a HORRIBLE policy, and it's honestly just as bad as your horrible double-lynch.

Nowhere do I say I will duel them the second I can.

Anyway, you know how townies can avoid getting policy lynched? By doing what townies should do and reading the thread. You realize that not reading the thread is a sign you are not trying to figure the game out? Guess who isn't trying to figure the game out? Yeah, that's right! Scum

I had said about 5 times that I thought Adam was 3P, yet you didn't read it. Are you sure you're town?


Stop fucking theory crafting about some bull shit 3rd party at the expense of the town.

Thrawn that was absolutely the scummiest thing that has been posted in this game.

God this is setting up so perfectly for scum to push double lynch. They're able to do what Thrawn did and just switch at any time, or do what Dieno is doing and say,"welll..... I don't really know, nor do I plan on contributing so Im gonna put a vote on the one with the least and hope for the best."

And they are in a win win situation.

Two town deaths: "Oh well they played so bad, blame them, fucking noobs"
One town, One scum: "SEE, SEE WE TOLD YOU, WE'RE ALL TOWN"

I just don't see any evidence that someone can have as vanilla townie that suggest either are scum. Useless? Of course. Scum? I just don't see it.

I don't want to lynch both of them because if they both flip town, that would set the town back very much. The difference between a MYLO and a LYLO is huge, and I'd rather keep Kei around and see if he can turn his game around than let Adam run loose and do whatever he wants.


Corazone you said this prior to Adam's defense. Since then Adam has been active (ish) and providing some pretty good analysis. Acrofales is about to succesfully push a successful double lynch which you admitted would be a bad idea. Considering Keir has provided nothing since his nomination would you consider switching your vote?

If not why?

Why so defensive bro?

We have plenty of time for that, I'm not giving anyone any fodder to take this thread off track. The issue at hand is selecting this lynch, and in my opinion making sure it doesn't go to a double.

Sylencia similar question for you.

Do you agree a double lynch would be a bad idea? You never mention it in your filter, but you do seem to think that Adam's actions don't necessarily make him scum, just a bad town player.

Since the nomination do you think Adam is more dangerous to town than Keir?

If so, why?

Killing two people in one vote, particularly when its a vote like this and no one feels terribly strong that either should die, is extremely scummy. It's the first day for god's sake, killing 2 now favors scum incredibly.

I've read the arguments, but you're so far into fantasy land with this that it makes zero sense. Adam's play makes plenty of sense from a town perspective, he's just not trying very hard to show it..

This is actually fantastic, because mafia would not want to vote for a double lynch OR Keirathi (especially when all votes were so close and they could easily justify going one way or another), which narrows down the suspicious votes quite a bit.


See I was thinking the exact opposite actually, and not only because I was one of the most vocal against the double lynch.

I think Kier was probably just as inactive with the scum as he was in this thread. As soon as they realized he got dueled and it was going to be close, their best option was to propose a double lynch, mitigate damage and appear pro town when it worked out.

It makes a lot of sense.

Was Kier really the majority opinion? I didn't think so but that was while I was reading through 20+ pages of the thread at one sitting.

As long as we vote for Syl to duel, I'm fine with whoever he chooses.

I really think Dieno/Syl is the best duel, but they are probably going to refuse to duel each other. Plus Syl will lurk and not even know he's supposed to duel until it is too late.


a) Why would they refuse to duel each other? They're both the scummiest of the bunch. Gives them the best chance for survival.

b) I don't trust Syl to make the pick. I think Dieno should be the one to initiate the duel.

He gets on Thrawn AFTER everyone else has already. This is actually pretty late in the thread. I don't like that Keirathi's first "real" contribution is piling on top of Thrawn with everyone else and not actually contributing much, just asking Fake Interrogator Questions.

It wasn't a pointless question (and thrawn never answered it either). Thrawn came out and said "hey guys, forget all this policy stuff, its pointless. Just play!"

Then, despite having no other mention of Hapa, as soon as other people start talking about him, thrawn was like "oh yea, hapa should duel tomorrow!" There's not even a read in there, since he took no stance on who *SHOULD* be dueling. It was just jumping onto thread sentiment with no thoughts towards Hapa from himself.


After Thrawn again. Marv has been vocal about Thrawn's scumminess all thread, and it's basically the only thing that Keir is going after. It looks like sheeping.

I thought it was just a stupid move. Arbitrarily, I think it was scummy because he cut off all discussion about other candidates, and felt like just straight OMGUS because I was trying to get some discussion out of something I viewed as scum motivated.


So was it "just a stupid move," or "scummy?" At this point everyone has declared it a very stupid move, so that's an easy sheep opinion to have, but also calling him scummy -- you either think he's scummy or stupid town.

Then he had the gall to say that he dueled because I was trying to back out of a half-assed scum read?


I feel like this is too emotional... phrases like "he had the gall" just seems too whiny to be substantive.


And for two, what happened to his scum read of Corazon earlier on night 0? Oh right, he backed out of it because of further discussion. Hell he even went so far as to say that he wasn't a "tunnel machine" and that he pulls out of tunnels all th e time. But if I try to get some discussion about something that I view as scummy to see if I'm just being paranoid, he gets all holy roller and pulls the trigger on the duel.


This isn't a case, it's whining.


The situation reminds me a lot of GSL 3 (i think?). I saw something that I genuinely viewed as scummy and brought it to the thread. I took a lot of flak for it, but the difference is people were willing to discuss it with me while they were calling me scum. And as I talked it out more, and got some other perspective views, I changed my read.


Why is he bringing this up? What's the motivation? He's basically saying that this is exactly like the time he was town, except only if Adam HADN'T dueled him, and if his scum read was wrong and needed to evolve. That's absolutely not a case on Adam, because in this meta reference he was wrong about his scum read, and Adam is his scum read in this case. Honestly the only connection I can see being relevant in the context of this post is the fact that he was town before. And bringing up a meta case like that, just for the sake of looking more town, in the middle of a post that is supposedly supposed to be your thoughts on Adam, seems scummy.

I don't like that he doesn't make a case on Adam and is only whining about being dueled. And I also don't like that he hasn't made a case on anyone/anything else SINCE being dueled.

My reads haven't changed. I still think thrawn is likely scum because of his jumping around following thread sentiments, and I still see possible scum motivation in the Adam thing that I was trying to talk about.

I'll write up some more later this evening when I get home, but I don't think an hour is enough time right now.


It's been a night and he hasn't posted his reads. It's convenient that NONE of his reads have changed... but he didn't even HAVE reads on anybody other than those two people. Sure he still thinks what he thought about them, but he literally hasn't thought ANYTHING about anybody else, and hasn't even bothered to think ANYTHING since?

Why would town be fine with dueling? It's not like Keirathi even had a great case on Thrawn. Although, at the same time, why would scum be fine with dueling? Like others have said, NOT wanting to duel looks worse if you're scum. I don't know how to read this, but it's a very clear statement of intent for somebody whose ONLY read has been Thrawn, and hasn't even built a real strong case on him.

##Vote Keirathi

Adam isn't scum. I just don't see the scum motivation for what he did at all.





then he pushed keir pretty hard till the lynch. do you think he was bussing?

Someone was. And that case was absolutely terrible. I very nearly made a post doing Keir's work for him debunking that case because of how terrible it was. Keir was scum for absolutely NONE of those reasons.


I bet you did....

Alderan, why were you so concerned that a double lynch was happening? There was still like 8-10 hours to go or more.
Plenty of time to see a switch.

Also, you pushed it so hard then when keirathi flipped town you were suprised? Like what? Then why did you push keirathi over adam SO HARD when you thought that they were both town?


I didn't have a strong scum read on either, I felt that Keirathi was an uninterested town, and in fact he was just an uninterested scum. They look very similar.

Adam provided better analysis post duel, regardless of the aggressiveness of the initial pick. I really really thought we had two town there, and so I didn't want both to die and I picked the better of the two.

As for rushing it, I honestly wasn't aware of how much time was left but I thought that the double lynch was a terrible idea and didn't want to give scum a chance to rally behind acrofales/iamp and push it though.

Oh I misread your question. Like I said, I didn't really know how much time was left, and the thread was stalled except for iamp and Acro pushing the double lynch real hard. Then Thrawn did that sketchy switch and I figured we needed to get out in front of it.

TBH I don't think either are scum. I've been trying to make heads or tails of it, and waiting on the analysis post from each. Adam posted his and it largely seems pretty good analysis. Yes it's disappointing that it took this long, but doesn't make him seem scummy.

That said I'm purposely holding my vote and I'm placing it wherever will prevent a double lynch. I don't think its a good idea, I don't have a decent scum read on either, I'd rather have Adam still alive probably but if its him or both dead, I'm choosing him.

I just don't know how you all can be that on board with a double lynch. That is a horrendous policy, why am I the only one talking about it?

I will vote for whoever my vote would kill.

On the one hand if we kill Adam we set a precedent that early out of line duels make you appear more scummy and thus people won't want to do them.

But then on the other hand Adam's reads have been better than Keirathi's imo.

Again, number one goal is that they both don't die.

A townie would say that, scum wouldn't.

A townie would say "What I did was anti-town, but I will do it again without hesitation"?

Anyway, this seems to imply you have a town read on Adam, yet are completely happy lynching him and are just waiting to hammer whoever is hammerable. Explain your town read on Keirathi, or die next cycle.


I don't know who you think you are taking on the leader of the town position, because your play thus far has been so anti town it's ridiculous.

First off, I believe he's entirely too disinterested to be playing scum. It's always been my experience that scum early game are usually deliberate, you don't see a lot of afk time from when they are under pressure because it's easy enough to get your scum mates to write a couple responses you can just throw up. Just wreaks of a townie that's given up.

On the other hand he has offered absolutely nothing in the way of analysis, which is exactly why I said I would rather Adam live. It's not a complicated situation, I have townish reads on both, thus don't want both to die, if I had to chose it'd be Keirathi. The fact that we can't even choose who we want to kill because you've muddied up the waters so much with the fucking double lynch talk is absolutely asinine.

Again here you dont sound really convinced that either one is scum, but prefer keirathi just a little bit.
Your play later belays that sentiment, it reads to me like you really really want keirathi dead, when instead, you say you DIDNT want a double lynch.


I would imagine that if you were going for damage control, you wont be so worried about it because you would find out when the lynch ended, and chill the fuck out till then .



The longer Keir went without responding, the more I wanted him dead.

That was worded kind of weird, but basically I think Dieno is way more scummy that Syl, and I want to make sure Dieno gets in the duel. If Syl dueled Dieno that'd be great, I just don't see it happening and I don't want to prioritize Syl over Dieno.

I didn't like all the names on the list, but its a good group of people that I'm suspicious of. Honestly you're still got null at best in my mind. Not a whole lot of constructive analysis as far as I can tell.

Do you understand the difference between not scum and town? Apparently not.
Not scum = not scum.
Could be 3P or town.


So this is what happened.

Acrofails first thinks both have a good chance of being scum.
Acrofails then thinks that one is "not scum"
Acrofails then assumes that the person that dueled someone he believed was scum must be a 3rd party, with no evidence.
Acrofails then urges everyone to kill them both, when all he would have to do to see if his 3p theory is right is wait until the selection period.

TLDR: Acrofails tried to kill someone he knew was not scum, someone who had initiated a duel with Kier who he believed to be scum.

Also the only way to see the alignment and role of someone is for them to FLIP. And for them to flip, they have to DIE.

Also what is wrong with the final statement?


I fail to see why he would kill someone who he knew was not scum when the other option was someone he, and the rest of town was very suspicious of.

Let's not lynch someone who is "not scum" based purely on asinine conjecture.

As for the duel today, I'll extrapolate a bit on my reasoning behind a Syl and Dieno.

First, and I'm making no bones about it, I think Dieno is scum, and unless he starts providing some worthwhile analysis my mind won't be changed. Second, and this is pretty WIFOMy but it would make sense for scum to spread out all their votes. I expect one of the two left on Adam to be scum.

I will say it again: Adam is not town. Now you can disagree with me all you like, but as long as I believe that I want him dead.

At first, I believed there was a good chance he was scum, the list post changed that. However, it didn't make him town, just not-scum. I can think of no reason why Adam, who I have played quite a bit with before, would do that. Adam is a collected and deliberative player, not an impulsive egotistical crazy guy.

Therefore, Adam is not town, and if I were given the opportunity to kill him, I would. I don't trust 3P, because their wincon is not to win with town, but to do something else entirely. Sure, for now Adam allied himself with town, and that's great. But there's no reason to think that will stay that way.

Now tell me, how does me wanting to kill someone I suspect of being 3P make me scum.

Also, AlDERPan, stop calling me Acrofails, it's not funny or productive.


I just don't understand taking the meta approach when the far more likely scenario is that he's generic town, not worried about dying and knew he was a good enough player to win against a lurky scum. I don't know in these cases I tend to go with the most obvious choice, I've gotten burned too many times trying to over think it.

And Oats you were very vocal about Sylencia discussing 3p and how scummy that was. Where's that train of thought now?

Alderan, Syl was talking about 3p WAY at the start of the game, after that adam has shown that he hasnt played to either of his previous metas. 3P is a logical explanation and YOU CAN CATCH 3P due to their play. Read dessert mafia where wbg catches sloosh day 1 as sk.

You are so out of the game right now, I think you are scum.



But why jump the gun? If he's 3p then he's likely going to have to do something like that again, and when he does we can kill him.

Right now all I see is someone who's protown who made a really really dumb move. If he makes it again then I will concede the 3P role, if not and as long as he's acting pro town, there's no reason not to keep him around.

Right?

Both of them have meta of looking scummy as town. It's not a good defense, but I am less convinced of either of them than I am of my own fucking scum read that is fucking obvious.


It seems too obvious. Me and Acro fought about the double lynch for fucking 60 hours. Would he push that hard if he was scum?

Yeah I mean its obvious that scum were pissed about having an inactive scummy looking member, decided to throw him under the bus, but to mitigate the damage attempted to push the double lynch.

Then they realized how bad that was going to look because the majority of us didn't want to do something so stupid so they bailed on the idea and bussed Keir.

What do you think of the lurkers and Cora?


Just using basic logic here, if he is adamant in his belief that you're scum, you telling him to talk about someone else probably isn't going to be terribly effective.

In this game, I consider being the fastest gun in the west to also be the stupidest gun in the west.

Consider: YOU are sure about Dieno, but others aren't as sure. I feel more sure about there being at least 1 scum among Syl/Dieno than I do about either of them being scum, and everyone forcing them to argue against each other provides FAR more information than YOU going against Dieno.

If you quick-draw on Dieno, we lynch him and he flips bad townie, mafia gets another kill off and we're left wondering if Syl was scum or not and whether we should look into the double-lynchers or the Keir voters for the bus.

If we pit Dieno and Syl, we likely get all day to wait before one of them finally duels each other (giving us plenty of time to react to the night kill and speculate and build cases, etc.), and then we get a pretty good idea about BOTH of their alignments in the duel.

No offense, but you and Yamato are not very high on my priority list for who we need more information on.

Tell that to YAMATO, not to me. I AM NOT THE ONE YELLING ABOUT DUELING AT DAWN

I am trying to come up with a less retarded solution for that scenario.


All I'm saying is do not be the one to duel at dawn.

Town can decide between you and another scummy looking person instead of just killing you.

I've made my case on Dieno, thats who I'd like to lynch. I'm not going to post my cases on others when they are not as strong as that one.

Alderan. Acro is under absolutely no pressure right now. He is not gonna get lynched in the near future, and as town, is a very important player.


Oats are you on drugs?

And I'm not talking about party drugs. I'm talking about sketchy drugs. Acro's actions have been pretty scummy and suspicions are gaining traction. If you can't see that you're delusional

Fake case to fool scum into not shooting a strong townread. However, it didn't really feel like it.



Thanks.

Yeah would like to hear from Dieno and Syl prior to any duels. Dieno said he was gonna be monitoring the thread all day? Where is he?

Hey Oats. You know what I didn't say anywhere? That I thought Acro was scum. I was even arguing with Yamato about his scummyness.

I'm leaning scum, not a stronger read than Dieno, who has offered nothing to the conversation.

That's why I wanted you to look at my filter. I'm not actively attacking Acro. If he would have insta dueled I would have found that extremely scummy, but as of now he is not my top scum, or really in my top two. My filter reflects that.

When you start reading, and stop putting words into my mouth you're gonna be a lot better at this game.

Firstly, let me say NICE MOVES ADAM! Fucking man of steel right there. Some Clint Eastwood/Zoro shit. I admit, I totally thought you were a scumball, but with keirs flip, you turn back to gravy in my books.

And why are you guys all jumping down my throat? Because I've been inactive? Is that really the only reason? I've been working, posting when I can. And then it was my day off today, so naturally I went out to the bar last night and got hammered.

Well here I am. I'm gonna start on a new map. I have today and the next off, so I'll pretty much be watching this thread like a hawk until it's time to go back to work. If you guys have any specific questions, shoot em at me.

As for me dueling Syl, I would totally be OK with that. He has looked scummy to me for a while now.


This is the only Dienosore post that has been posted since my previous reads?

The only part of note would be

"As for me dueling Syl, I would totally be OK with that. He has looked scummy to me for a while now."

Reason being, he never actually said anything about Syl looking scummy. If he was scum he would want to go with the easiest lynch bait. If he was town he would duel the one he felt most strongly about. That doesn't seem to be the case.

That post is a SUMMERY.
Reasoning includes opinions, that chunk of words is FACTS.

You are a native english speaker? Or not?


If you're going to critique my grammar I'd recommend spelling the word "summary" correctly.

That said, I've gone over and over why the double lynch day 1 would have been an anti town (read: scum) move. I'm done talking about it. Stop trying to derail the thread. I never pushed a case on Acrofales, stop make it seem like I'm trying to. Me and Acro seem to be treating each other similarly. Leaning scum, but not a priority at the moment.

Are you suggesting I pull an Adam and duel my top scum read?

I said I was okay dueling Syl because he feels scummy to me and most of the town has asked for it.


Nope, just want you to talk to everyone. Would you rather duel anyone else, if so who?

I think we can all agree, Syl's post duel analysis has been much better than Dienosore's. I also don't like how the initial duel went down (yes I acknowledge I was asking for this very duel).

The town seemed to be discussing other options, and honestly really fleshing out some people that had not previously been analyzed (I am one of them). I don't see a townie's motivation to push the duel there. Sure Dieno was the favorite to go in, but if I'm town in that situation I'm going to hold out and let the discussion play out. If I'm scum in that situation I'm going to duel the lynch bait and not let town pit me against another scum or someone who I have a better chance of losing to.

Is everyone settled on Dieno?

If I put my vote on him I think the hammer would come pretty quickly. I can hold off if we want to keep discussing. My vote will eventually go on Dieno unless something radical happens, but if we want some more time I'd gladly hold on to it.

You are a child. This will be my last response to you until you start paying attention to the thread.

I do not want a double lynch. I am interested why it's not being pushed this time considering these two seem infinitely more scummy than Adam and Kier did.

Again, I hope you start playing with some sense, but if you don't I will not be wasting my time responding to you anymore.

I have explained this already.

Last lynch I wanted a double lynch, because I had a strong scumread on Keirathi, which was somewhat mitigated by Adam going crazy and dueling him, but never really went away. I was torn between thinking Adam's duel was a VERY anti-town move and my earlier scumread on Keirathi, so kill them both.
Then later I still couldn't reconcile Adam's behaviour with him being town, so got a bit caught up in my 3P theory and wanted to lynch him for being 3P (and Keirathi still for being scum).

This lynch the only reason to lynch both of them is because we cannot decide who is scum. I realize that that is a terrible reason for double-lynching and I should have realized that on D1 before my 3P theory came into play, but I guess my anger at Adam clouded my judgement.

So... unless I think both are scum, I am no longer a fan of double lynching, and I agree with Adam that it is pretty unlikely they're both scum.

Anyway, I've caught up on Dieno and Sylencia's filter and found nothing new. I am up for lynching Dieno. However, I do still want to hear from Zarepath and Snarfs what their opinions are, so lets lay off on the voting.


I wasn't referring to you necessarily, and I forgot that iamp was one of the other big proponents and he's dead now too.

@ Oats

I don't have scum reads on both.

If posed with the situation on day 1 would I rather double lynch Keir and Adam or Syl and Dieno I would have chosen Syl and Dieno. That said I still don't advocate double lynches. I think only VERY RARELY are they ever good policy.

I think of the two right now Dieno is more scummy than Syl. As such I will be voting Dieno whenever we think that it's time.

It's not hard mate. You just have to read and use your head.

If you think I'm scum then make the case, if you don't stop wasting my time.

I found it interesting that the double lynch was all the rage last time, but this time it's being completely left out for the most part. The only person advocating it being Thrawn. That is partly because iamp is already dead so the point actually doesn't have as much relevance as I originally thought it did.

That said, it's still infinitely more relevant than whatever point you're trying to make with this line of questioning.

The thing about Acrofales is that in order to believe that he is town, you have to actually accept that he genuinely believed Adam was 3p and that motivated his suspicious actions. Still wrapping my head around it, but he's been pro-town in his discussion as of late and as such shouldn't be terribly high on the priority list, especially with only hours until the end of this lynch.

It's not day 1 with a bunch of scrubs falling in behind you just for being aggressive. You either aid town or you don't, but this kind of shit is ridiculous.

Honestly you have become more scummy than Acro as of late and after all the pressure I've put on him, if you duel him I will not be voting with you. But just like last selection period you're all about the talk and don't have the balls to actually do it.
