Stupidity would have set you free. ======== To expound: That you comment on town-motivation with prome; infers you spent time examining the action in question before deriving at your soft-defense conclusion. Our discussions have proved you are aware of what is right, and what is wrong.. I severely doubt you had an epiphany moment mid-game, to give you improved insight into town/scum motivations; so its safe to conclude you were aware of this pre-game.Thus, you analysed the behaviour.. you were aware of what is town motivation.. but you still turned a blind eye and tried to cast doubt on a prome lynch.. I see ZERO town motivation for that action
I had an epiphany (pretty good description actually) that Promethelax wasn't trying to make the RNG gambit succeed. I thought he might have been at that point, and later realised he almost certainly wasn't. You can take that or leave it.
And once again that was NOT A DEFENCE OF PROM. That was a "someone please explain this to me further", and Wade obliged.

+ Show Spoiler +In his first stint of playing TestSubject discussed exactly one thing: Pardoner policy. Didn't pay any attention to my opinion on OO or indeed anything else in the thread involving scumhunting. When he comes back we have this: On February 27 2013 09:35 TestSubject893 wrote:I've been working all day and just now got caught up on the thread. Here's what I've got. Promethelax is still my top scum read and I will be voting for a mayor that wants to kill him. Jungle Jorge and ObviousOne, in that order, are next on my scum list. I think we're placing a little too much trust in DoctorHelvetica. It seems like some people are treating him as nearly confirmed town, and frankly he's not even close to that in my book. Moreover, I'm afraid that should DrH get either of the elected roles, his perception as confirmed town will only be furthered, without him doing anything more pro-town. Most of his cred has come from telling people they aren't scumhunting enough and how great scumhunting is, and while these things are pro-town, its not something that's hard to fake. On top of that, the only contribution he's made on the scumhunting front is to really amplify the pressure on Prome.

Jcarlsoniv do you believe prom and vivax are town? If yes, what makes you believe so? Weird that you chose to respond to that specifically. Maybe not, maybe I'm being paranoid. And yes, I'm still pushing Prome for the day. He basically martyred so he should die. I'm working from 1-10 PST tonight so unfortunately I'm not gonna be able to be here to push him. Since all discussion is built on this foundation of lynching Prome, it's the best outcome for us right now. At least for Day 1. I would never say to lynch for information, I absolutely believe he is scum but there is no sense in acting on hunches and getting distracted. Don't fuck it up guys keep focused on the goal of finding scum. Everything else comes second. is a little concerning to me. I think it's likely that DrH is town, but lets make him prove that to us before we show him so much trust. Hopefully, we've gotten it right with Prome, in which case DrH will be deserving of the town cred he seems to currently have. With the this in mind, I'm going to vote for someone who is going lynch Prome, but whose election I think will not stunt discussion and critique of the mayor himself. ##Vote: VisceraEyes Promethelax is still his top scum read? Don't think he mentioned this before, but whatever. I'm not sure what to make of his reservations on DocH either. Maybe town being properly cautious? Maybe scum not wanting DocH to be "confirmed" town? idk. The rest of his filter is mostly answering some questions from Layabout and then arranging the election. tl;dr I see no evidence of him thinking at all about finding scum and nothing which makes me think he's town.
Other Plausible Scum
Chaos Bear

this space intentionally left blank
Toad
+ Show Spoiler +
My problem with Toad is the sheer amount of nothing he did for most of day 1. Sure he caught (or helped to catch) Prom. But after that he mostly just sat on his ass and congratulated himself. Particularly he didn't put any effort into trying to learn anything else from day 1. His play just feels sloppy to me after he caught Prom, but it would be sloppy town or sloppy scum. Not a huge suspect but I'm uneasy. Prom knew he'd have to leave late D1, a bus from Toad is at least plausible.
Geript
+ Show Spoiler +I'm torn on this one. Reading through his filter I see towny things: - Campaign for mayor - not afraid to put himself in the spotlight
- Is actually publishing reads
... and scummy things: - I really don't like his case on WoS. The change in tone thing just seems to me like the kind of thing a scum player would jump on someone for, it's not really a reason that I would think someone was scum in as of itself. Also, his soft defence of Vivax (with unspoken apology for agreeing with Prom) followed by "I think Vivax is scum" doesn't read well to me at all.

Show nested quote +A thought popped into my head regarding this...it may be absolutely retarded but you guys will let me know that after the fact, won't you? All this says is that whatever you are about to propose is absolutely retarded. All it says is, "ignore this post." This tone is returned to at the end. Show nested quote +Since I am new to this whole durned mafia thing, I am likely to be either ignored or an easy mafia target, keeping the role out of scum's reach. The second tone is the analysis tone: Show nested quote +Since the pardoner is inherently more dangerous as a scumrole and the plan to 'kill two birds with one stone' in all likelihood won't (or can't at this point) gain the traction necessary to be carried out, why not give up the role to someone who is likely to be targeted early anyway, or someone who if you are overly suspicious of, you can lynch yourselves anyway?
Case and point: a newbie. Basically this says, "trust a newbie to be pardoner." The problem is that his argument falls apart when you really analyze it. You don't want pardoner in the hands of a newbie because it's a free pass for when they get caught for them unless they're lynched D1. I agree with previous analysis, best to put pardoner on the mayor's lynch target. Next the general plea: Show nested quote +I graciously offer up myself to be the (possible) sacrificial lamb to do with as you will. If you so choose to lynch me for fear that I am scum, then I go down happily, hopefully bringing as much information to the table as possible before I crash and burn in an epic fireball. If you choose to keep me around, then I will serve the town gladly and I will offer up my pardon to save a deserving person. Since I am new to this whole durned mafia thing, I am likely to be either ignored or an easy mafia target, keeping the role out of scum's reach. This section is especially out of tone for him. I feel like I'm watching C3PO talk to Jabba here. This paragraph especially feels forced; the diction is all wrong for him. His posts are little more than mimicry than anything else in general but this paragraph is nothing of the sort. Next, I actually have to agree with what Prome said. The difference between Vivax response and WoS response is that Vivax actually attacks the argument (If you do A+B then no way you get to C). WoS response was essentially, "You got NK last game." WoS is playing excited this game. Even when he's grabbed a touch of heat, he's not been the slightest concerned about it and continues to "counterpressure" with bleh. I'm going to reread the thread a few times before I head to bed and sleep on it but for right now Vivax and WoS are on the top of my list but I'd need a flip to make a strong case.
- His answers to my questions about the WoS case didn't make me think he was any more towny (as opposed to what happened with Wade or MilkSuckler). Nothing directly incriminating either.
No idea what to make of his discussion with VE yet since it's going on as I write this, seeing as it's now more than a third of his filter I may have to adjust this read. His general suspicion of more prominent players is suggestive of paranoid town... or scum trying to look like paranoid town (see: Axle in LIX).
JungleJorge
+ Show Spoiler +
The only meaningful thing he did day 1 was his fake-defence of Prom. I don't know what to make of his reads in night one... I don't see how Restraining Order was "mudslinging" at all. No idea how he has a town lean on TestSubject.
His case on me is... well, I can believe that he believes it, but if he does he's suffering from tunneling a single aspect of my filter. Which is hardly uncommon. Then again, it would also be consistent with a cherrypicking scum.
There's a lot I don't understand the motivation for in a comparatively short filter and I don't like that. I have no particularly good reason to think he's scum, but I'm dubious about his play in general.

Obvious' play was bloody useless for the first half of D1. I think he overreacted a lot to my pressure, and his N1 case on me was pretty terrible.
However.
If you read his case on me as a defence of himself (pointing out that everything he thinks I've accused him of is stuff I've kinda done) it makes sense. It might not be particularly good play, but Obvious has been tilted at me all game, and this case does reflect that.
A lot of his play hasn't been all that good and he doesn't like me much but my gut's starting to tell me that OO is town. I don't like it much but there you are.
I've read Grush and I have no idea what his alignment is.
I haven't read Chezinu and I doubt doing so will help.
My intended lynch is Hassybaby. That might change if he actually plays.

Aqua since the main point of your case is that hassy tried to be pardoner what do you think of the fact that he ran for a similar role in Holy Roman mafia on a similar basis won it and didn't use it?
Despite that being a theme/ troll game it doesn't change that he has done the exact thing that you are calling him scum for as town.
I think we should lynch macho today or failing that chez since I trust BC on this. night.
I don't think he's scum because he ran for Pardoner, I think he's scum because he put no effort besides that original post into his campaign. The initial post indicated enthusiasm for the role - his lack of interest afterwards indicated otherwise. IMO the best way to reconcile that difference is that he's scum and didn't
With a quick look at his filter in Holy Roman Mafia it seems that there he pushed his campaign for Empress after his initial post and was consistently interested in getting it, whereas here he let it sink without a trace. That's the difference between HRMafia and here. If you disagree with that I can take a closer look at HR.

His case on me felt a lot like town Mocsta. My only reservation is that he's generally more obnoxious as town than scum and I wouldn't describe his play so far as obnoxious (check nomination mafia for a comparison). That's pretty paranoid though and maybe he's trying to change it up with his smurf.
