Actually, I changed my mind. I want to see that whole case before I die. Might be useful to the town later. As you were.

I burned almost two hours on that, it's break time.

I have two names in mind I'll look at when I return, but it's not going to be as comprehensive since, well, I'm probably dead tonight anyway and 4 hours for two cases doesn't jive for me when I could just sleep.

Nonono you're misunderstanding me.

THE EFFORT speaks volumes not the action. He put ALL THAT EFFORT into reading Vivax' filter and pouring over meta and whatever the fuck...for a townread...for you. It looks scummy to me. Why not spend that "2 hours" on putting together a case against someone? He's under heavy attack, he needs to find scum. One of the major points against him is that he's had like no scum reads.

I looked at Obvious' post because it was new and commented on it. There's a vast difference.

Well, why not make some effort to read someone at all, meta included, to get a better read on them, especially someone as volatile as Vivax who seems to have a history of violence with various people on the forums here? I didn't really see what some of you guys saw about him D1 that made him super scummy so it seemed like a reasonable request to get a better read not only for myself but to potentially clear up some misunderstandings about his play if it was within my power. I'm not saying I'm 100% sure I'm right but I'm confident enough in my preliminary read to not see him as a threat at this point.

I'm with aqua on this one suckler. The heat you are giving him is easily explained by he figured out the inconsistency in prom's play after his original soft-defense.

Yeah I am not so sure about shooting Aqua for not knowing Prom was going to introduce RNG discussion and then botch up the execution. Policy talk happens as a means to generate some discussion so it started as a way to start earning town cred as discussed. The execution failed in how Prom responded and perhaps also how long he held to his notion that he somehow knew better than everyone else how that conversation should go. He answered my question about it rather flippantly as well, which was kind of annoying. He didn't work to convince. He simply seemed to convey that knew it was a good play when it certainly doesn't fly here. Unless the timeline of actions is different in reality from what I remember, (posting on mobile) I am not entirely on board with this idea.

Catching up on the thread happenings from today... brief read-through has me staggered a bit. Figured Chez for sure as third party with all the 3P talk until the shot.

Grush is standing out to me right now, his vote states he's voting for Toad but I don't see any reasons at all. The only thing coming to mind about Toad is remembering that someone said that Toad and VE were probably on opposite teams but it doesn't appear to have been Grush saying that either. So far he just seems to be echoing sentiments of the thread without his own take spelled out for us to read. And what DocH just said about him stalling discussion is even more disconcerting...

Something about Layabout has been bothering me but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Looked at his filter and his last post here seems to be something of a nugget:
On March 01 2013 10:24 layabout wrote:
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.

Layabout wants to sheep the dead guy. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that BC is a great player but we can't operate on sheeping a dead guy who can't develop or change his reads, so I'm just wondering if he wants to develop the case on BC's behalf.

Its a waste of read regardless..

why even say you think Aqua/OO is scum.. if your not going to produce a single iota of evidence or reason.

Its like he felt obliged to post, because he said he woudl share some thoughts.


That is exactly what I felt. Apparently this was the wrong choice and I'll make note of that for the future.

Ok, so I rewrote this post like 5 times and changed my mind back and forth, and at the end of it all I ended up not coming up with as great of thoughts as I had originally thought I had when it was all coming togther.

I'll start with the basics I suppose. I agree with DrH on Toad. He's the top of the list for me. From there I feel like one of either Aqua or OO is scum. I was gonna write up some reasons on why its OO, but when I was doing that I kind of talked myself into thinking that its Aqua. After that grush is looking suspicious to me, but he's in that category of players where everyone talks about their crazy meta and how it needs to be taken into account and I'm not currently taking it into account, so take that for what its worth.

The bulk of my thoughts were gonna be about how when I read Chez asking the questions about the 3rd parties and claiming he didn't know how to add, I thought for sure he was a 3rd party just putting on a show. Because immediately after that WF jumped on him as scum I thought that he has the same read as me and was mafia trying to get the 3rd party lynched. This all still added up even after Chez shot if he is town because mafia wouldn't know for sure he wasn't 3rd party in the time in between.

When I was writing it all up I changed my mind on it. WF just isn't scummy looking enough to me outside of that, so I ended up scrapping it. It is something that really jumped out at me though, so if WF becomes the center of attention later, its something we could relook at.

... What are you trying to achieve with this..

you know, someone (I think it was aqua) called you scum.

posts like that, are starting to make me think he was right

is there proper analysis in this.. or even a conclusion?

Waste of a read, as far as I am concerned.. (perhaps Im just pissed at waiting almost 2 hrs for this day vig claim)


I promised to post some thoughts and this is the explanation of why I'm not doing that. Its not helpful, I agree.

Well, tell us your thoughts on Aqua. What exactly about OO made you think he wasn't scum? You need to show your work.



I was mostly focusing on this post by OO and the response from Aqua. I was thinking that OO is never really saying anything of relevance, but Aqua says this and it really strikes me as scummy:

Show nested quote +
I didn't really see the point in posting serious cases after about midway through D1. I much prefer to pressure someone when I can actually threaten them with a lynch, and the Prom lynch was pretty much cemented. My play was focusing on dissecting cases made by other people (geript and Vivax in particular iirc) and thinking about whether they were sincere.


He thinks that posting cases is bad, but is relying on others posting cases. On top of all of that I had this weird interation with OO last game that I'm trying to keep from biasing me this game, but sometimes I think I'm overcompensating and its causing me to be really indecisive about the whole thing.

This post feels not productive either. Hopefully it answers your questions, but please ask away if you have more.

My win-con in that game was to kill everybody and I was happy to oblige.

I see three votes for Hassybaby in the voting thread, but I have to re-read to see why it was those people were voting for him. His filter reveals severe inactivity and a rather foreboding last post. Going back to ~pg 100 to see what I can see.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17908224


Regarding my notes (links)
Confirms that Hassy's definitely in the back of people's mind. I see that since then, we have moved targets from Hassy to Chez, Milkman (who has since been confirmed town, was a candidate for Vivax) and Toad (DocH after a thorough re-read). I noted the extra stuff from Vivax in his switch to Milkman since it was a bigger deal knowing that Vivax was looking at Milkman who is since confirmed town.

First post from his switch to Milkman looks kind of like a day-late OMGUS, for what that is worth.

An interesting post before the chaos
Then I discovered this little gem, not sure how to best utilize it but here you go:

Mocsta what's making you so sure that milkman is town? You're shrugging off whatever points I brought against him with little reasoning, and he was dead set on making my claim look bad.

I also don't see whatever fallacy you just mentioned about me. My points against him are clear, although I left a few out:

  • He immediately attacked my claim with little reasoning.

  • saved up this point cause it's strong: He didn't inquire at all whether my shot is refunded or not. That means he doesn't have an actual interest into knowing if I'm really vig or not. He had a primary interest into painting me scummy

  • He sounded extremely sure about VE getting doublestacked and justified it with weak reasoning about it when asked afterwards. What is just this reasoning? Why do you argue about someone (me) being scum based on scum doublestacking someone when there could be a multitude of other options? Why doesn't he rule them out with logic if he's so sure about exactly that version happening?

  • Not believing that there could not be medics. I call bullshit, he has no base whatsoever to think that.

  • Saying that if there ever was a medic he would have protected VE for sure.

  • Not all people posted yet, he doesn't even know if others were roleblocked besides Toad. Yet he proceeds to doubt my claim with (maybe) incomplete info.

  • His early play regarding Prom is scummy, as pointed out with three important posts.


Just wanted to say, I liked the way you presented ya thoughts with this post.. was clear to read (I would prefer if you kept producing content that way)

Look, you're right, I am just saying he is town..
Let me read his filter and confirm where I stand with milkman.. THEN I will comment to whether I agree with your case or not.

We never got those reasons why MilkSuckler thought Milkman was town. I would have liked to have seen that (unless I'm somehow wrong and the Chez shot banter just obfuscated it on my brief pass through the thread looking for it) pre-flip.

So what does this flip say more about?

Vivax had a scum read on him, MilkSuckler had a town feeling on him. MS was right but... we never found out why. I'm trying to sort this out in writing and nothing is making too much sense to me at this moment. Vivax seems to have a decent case but it's partially based on incomplete information and partially intuition on his part. MS could have easily found reasons Milkman was town as scum, and might have even been more careful to answer the question I would wager.

My conclusions:
1) Vivax had a pretty interesting case that just didn't pan out (i.e. there was no conniving on the part of Milkman in his night action speculation, a large part of his case) which might have gotten a proper response had Milkman not been shot. Might consider this a warning that his reads are bad this game or it's mafia motivated. Downgrading my read of Vivax from leaning town to null for now.
2) Hypothetical mafia MilkSuckler is active enough (and careful enough as scum as evidenced by our previous game together) to answer questions posed to him relatively quickly. Leaning town at this point.
3) Hassybaby: backburner for now, but let's not forget him, probably mafia or just begging for modkill or replcement at this point. Something about Hassy may be linked to Layabout which I think I'll take a look at next given the soft-defense mentioned in the spoiler above (post by Layabout.)

side note, I hope the formatting isn't too awful to make this unreadable

This is something I noticed too. It sparked discussion - I'm left wondering what kind of discussion he thought RNG was supposed to generate if it didn't generate the kind he wanted.

because again, the way you phrased that sounds awfully odd and I'm thinking of multiple explanations. None of them includes something you with a townie-mindset.


Because I wanted it to gain some real traction. I had an idea about actually getting close and withdrawing my nomination since if scum was up for lynch they'd be pushing me as mayor where if there was a townie up for lynch they'd be pushing against me. It's a plan that only works if I get support on it. That was the discussion I wanted to spark.


The basic idea was that Prom had stood for mayor under the premise that he would rng the lynch but then he turned around and said he had just wanted to create discussion. This is scummy because he didn't make enough of effort to create or encourage this discussion as he would be expected to do as town.

Upon rereading I am not sure that he didn't do enough to push discussion. He mentions rng in a few posts but nobody really treats it as a valid option or says why it's a good/bad idea. The discussion naturally moves on and he lets it.

Aside from that he posting is fine. I suppose he calls hasssy scummy for vanishing but he at least makes the effort to find out why hassy had gone + Show Spoiler +
btw it was 3am uk time so maybe that
. But he said he wouldn't be here Tues-thurs and makes the effort to post a lot and share his thoughts when he can. If he is town then he has done what he should do as town and i don't want to lynch him because of this.

I'm questioning the logic of defending someone who for all intents and purposes ran for the pardoner position knowing specifically they aren't going to be around enough to prove they are town. It's just... odd. Like run for a position that gives town incentive to scrutinize you if you won't be around for the scrutiny. Or is this a play at looking not blendy by Hassy? Just feels strange to me that Layabout stood up for him in this way.

OO you are lucky I got a hard on for toad right now.

Whilst again I appreciate u took the time to read the thread. That's a commitment all of us r stuck with.

The 27 pages have been condensed down to what again is a big summary post with one or two quotes u think r `gems`.

There is minimal -if any- analysis and again u come back with zero pressure.
E.g. U accuse me of having a scum game like this, then call me town..

I know from the shadowing of be.. U are capable of detailed analysis but its not here.
The zealous approach u take only looks clean for so long...

Like, if you read my posts in order, I'm just following my thought process in the thread. Maybe someone better at deep analysis will see the things I feel are weird might be worth exploring or trigger something helpful for them.

And why make a big deal of the fact that I said 27 pages? I just arbitrarily went back enough pages to gather thoughts about Hassy. If my posts are useless to you, that's cool, but you're one person. If everyone starts telling me my shit is completely useless I'll just follow Toad's example here which, to be honest, I can understand where he's coming from. Is there some kind of new meta-game where we make people not want to play the game?

And while I'm talking to you... Hey, dude, try to stop responding with every little thought that goes through your head. You're at like 14% of all the thread action at a 17 page filter and not everything that everyone writes deserves a response directly from you. Unless you're intentionally trying to make your filter a bitch to read...

From OP:

Engineer: You have explosives and you are not afraid to use them! You have 2 bombs. You may plant 1 each night and move them around as you please. If you ever die, your bombs will explode, killing the players they are on. If you die to the lynch your bombs will be found, and become duds.


Could have the town Dayvig execute him though, that would work assuming we have one.

I'd like to point out that Wade Fell was trying INCREDIBLY hard at the end of D1 to get his name into that pool for one of the spots. Generally, keeping elections so close is an anti-town thing to do as it gives scum the leverage they need to get who they want into the right spot. Why are you not also pressuring Wade Fell along with VE and DrH, as he was also apparently motivated for the positions.


It starts a with a crappy reason to lurk, but then he actually gets into analysis. That's redeeming, but then.

He ends on a reason to lurk. So for now my main lynch target is jcarl.

I suggest you revisit prom's filter and think about why he would post some of the stuff he has posted if he was indeed scum. I plan on being more specific later, but I'll give you guys some time to figure it out by yourselves.
I would also like you to take a look on The Macho Man, as he is my best guess for scum amongst the "active" posters. Again, I'll come back to expand on this as well. See you guys in a few hours.

I'm still uncomfortable with Wade though knowing it is bh makes him less likely to be scum in my eyes. His weird d1 behaviour is weird in a blazing way, which I usually find scummy.
Things I still find scummy in him: his omgus attack already mentioned, attacking me for having a changed read after I reread the thread (I get that everyone wants to get on my wagon now, its the in thing to do but assuming you do lynch me when I flip look for shoddy reasoning like Wade's), his obsession with the vet/newbie dichotomy (he is focusing on it to the exclusion of actual scum hunting)
Things I find townie: his confidence and casual tone ("for all you know I'm warbaby" and "so no real opinions then")
conclusion: keep an eye on, not a good day one lynch

JJ on the other hand is looking scummier (again this only works for me but once I flip go back and look at my reads k thx)
I am under a lot of pressure now and most/all of the vets and smurfs (i.e. probable vets want to lynch me) and yet JJ comes in and says I am town for no reason. He has a reason. He just won't share it. It looks to me like a scummer trying to gain a little cred on a mislynch while also not actually derail the lynch.

Promethelax, how do you feel about this post?

Good luck town!


Promethelax is likely scum. I made that post specifically to see how he would react (as you noticed I didn't provide any reasons). Mostly my concerns were that too many people were pushing for his lynch and there was no opposition to it. Also the main reasons for the suspicion on him was some sudden change of mind or some controversial behavior, and those are normally townie traits.

Now onto his reaction to my post: as town he would never come to the conclusion that I'm scum in that spot. What would be my interest as scum in defending a player everybody else thinks is scum? For town cred? As you can all tell that very often has the opposite effect and town cred is overrated anyway. People had not even mentioned my name prior to this so I had no reason to risk my neck over this. If you know you are townie your first reaction in this situation certainly is to think the people that are defending you are town! Now as scum what would you do? First you have inherent guilt, you think you look bad, so it's plausible that the claim that the guy defending you must have extra information should fly. Secondly you want to divert attention from your lynch, so it's a terrific opportunity to throw suspicion on someone that is on the other side of the issue. People that want to lynch prome certainly won't like the defense one bit, and are more easily willing to jump on the person defending it.

As you can see Promethelax post makes very little sense if taken form a townie perspective, but makes a lot of sense given a scum mentality. I'll refrain from expanding my thoughts on macho man from now as to not derail this lynch.


First post: he defends Prom, but also says "I'll let you guys figure out why"

~5 hours later, he realizes that all the candidates are going to kill Prom, and he's been caught with his ass hanging out in defense of the man who will ultimately flip red. He switches to all "hey guys, i was kidding, i was testing him." In the same vein, he, ONCE AGAIN, refrains from expanding upon his thoughts on Macho Man.

About 6 hours later, another soft defense of Prome:

On February 27 2013 09:48 JungleJorge wrote:
DocH and Wade Fell, you both seem to believe scum Prome wouldn't behave in the way I described, yet you believe Prome is scum. What gives?
If you believe it is a null tell and I have reached the correct conclusion, by your own standards, what exactly is the problem here? Wouldn't you be better off taking in the information in regards to the reactions of many players, including the one set to be lynched, and ultimately have a better picture of the situation prior to the lynch so you could make a more informed decision and even after if we end up lynching him? If you believe it produced no meaningful content you can safely ignore it. It's funny how you accuse me of being anti-town when I'm trying to produce information by my own means, yet you both share my conclusion.
Also how exactly my withholding information for some amount of time to observe the reactions to my post damages the town in any regard? I've said I'd share the concerns I had with prome's lynch and I did. As it stands right now I believe the best lynch is prome and I'd be foolish to try to persuade town that The Macho Man is a better lynch, if even I don't share that point of view. Yes I do have problems with TMM, but I'll discuss those when the time is appropriate. It's a common mistake by many players to say every single thought that comes to their minds, instead of keeping the focus on what needs to be done.
Most of you so far seem to believe I'm some sort of idiot who ought to be dismissed. It's actually a barrier that I'm trying to overcome by making long quality over explanatory posts. I assure you I'm pretty good at this game, you would be surprised to know who you are dealing with. I assure you that if I had my name attached to my posts I would need to right a third as much and would have three times the influence.


The rest of his filter is responding to a bunch of posts in order to defend himself. He mentions a few people he think could be scum (Restraining Order, Myself), and the last we heard from him, he's dead set on Aquanim dying. I would love to hear his point of view at this point.

Well I'd like to hear something from you first. Who is scum and why?

My current strongest scum read is ObviousOne for the reasons stated earlier. His protestations of "I can't give reads early" combined with the reads he has in fact given with little-to-no reasoning feels like scum trying to contribute without actually committing himself. I don't have time to analyse everyone's play at the moment so that's all I have for now.


Vayesh is puzzled at the contradictions brought to bear before him. The voice of the man of water speaks of non committal when he himself fails to show commitment to the cause. The light is not finding its way into the ocean depths. Perhaps with more swimming the figure will come closer to illumination.

Your name drop did nothing for me either Prom, just so we're on the same page. I don't care what marv has to say regarding grush' Starsenses.


Do you care what I have to say o. The matter?


Not if it's "He said starsenses = modconfirmed town" no. LMAO That's the worst shit I've ever seen.


No it isn't. It is in fact a great way to read grush. He has never used STARSENSES as scum. He has been scum and not used STARSENSES he is very invested in being confirmed town with that breadcrumb, grush doesn't trust his own play to keep him safe and values the crumb as it keeps him alive as town.


Vayesh thinks that any man of reason or sense could transfer this concept from an old world and make it work for his alternate personality of this world.

I am not saying this to agree with Prome.

I am saying this because it was an item raised in Mafia LIX. One player instantly called Grush scum due to him unveiling starsenses.

He was town (as in all prior starsenses claims)...I dont trust the claim to be town; but it does put him down the D1 priority pecking list for me.


one world is not enough to validate a truth the man of prom is implying.

However the annuls will record that the mask of the bovine has declared a correct statement. The rushing man is not in danger of the deathmachines for now.




He is intentionally making a point to put his mark on a lot of different people. He seems somewhat supportive of the Prom lynch, but again, it's hard to tell, he's not committing to anything. He's largely contributing very little, but casting his little doubts upon enough people that eventually, one has to stick.

I would not be sad to see VayeshMoru die.


@Dr.H: How confident are you in either/or/both Prome and Vivax being scum? Are you going to continue to push them until the end of the day?

I know Prome can't defend himself at this point, and I feel Vivax has not done a good job of defending himself (but last game I was convinced Vivax was scum, and I was dead wrong, so I'm being a bit more wary this time around).

Regarding Vivax, as I said earlier, this feels incredibly reminicent of the headbutting we did last game. You'll notice that in my absence, he has turned to pressuring me quite a bit. This is fine, but it's misguided, and very familiar.

That was his most recent post. He also said in pregame that he would have very limited availability at this time. There are a number of people who will kill him should they be elected mayor (VE and DrH off the top of my head) If he does indeed flip red, it's the people actively avoiding voting for these candidates that should be scrutinized.

Geript, it doesn't look like you're going to get a WoS lynch today, so unless you can actually make a real case for him, then make your case on Vivax. None of this association shit when nothing has happened yet.



Bold is mine, Important parts are he has retracted both his reads with minimal explanation. The part with vayesh is especially concerning, his gut read was strong enough to write up a post, but not so strong that he is willing to retract it when it hasn't been scrutinized or mentioned very much.

Those are the two main posts of his and so what I derive the majority of my read which is he looks pretty scummy. If he can explain adequately why he was so quick to change his read I'll look him over again.



I don't have much else to say about it other than what I've already said, but I can try to expand upon it.

My initial gut read on Vayesh was scum, yes. At that point in the day, it was obvious that Prom was being lynched (just had to figure out who would be the one to kill him), so I wanted to try to look elsewhere.

I saw Vayesh's posting and it rubbed me the wrong way, but there was admittedly little to go on at the time. I wanted to try to create pressure, so I made the case on him. As he started posting more and I read more, my gut read faded away, and I noted that. I'm not afraid to be wrong, so I took a shot at it.


As for Vivax, my position on him hasn't really changed. I did find him a bit scummy at the time, and I still do (although somewhat less so at this point). I was dead set on him being scum in our last game too, and I turned out to be wrong. I said it before and I'll say it again, I was apprehensive of my gut feelings on Vivax for that very reason.

@Wade Fell: Your case is reasonable. And I may be compelled to follow you just to see a video of you eating your hat. However, it is still early in the day, and I want to hear from JJ.


More opposition to Chez lynch (okay the bolded+underlined part is where I start to get worried):

Morning gents.

I'm still vehemently against a Chez lynch. I'm the only one who has defended against it, and I'm sticking to my guns. I don't think he will flip red.

I'm willing to reconsider JJ for now. I agree that it would be surprising for him to claim roleblocker as scum, however certainly not impossible. I'm fine with him surviving and reevaluating after night phase (also, it's clear that all of you want Chez dead).

Geript, on the other hand, is looking absolutely terrible. Martyring, being generally useless, and lashing out. I would MUCH prefer seeing him die before you guys lynch Chez. There has been a lot of discussion in the last few pages about geript, and I really think he should die today.

My god, a big part of me really wants to be right about Chez just so you can shut your friggin mouth


Ominous warning, possible role claim, seems to be upset that we lynched scum and he's been one of the few actually pushing in another direction (well, two that I counted):

I am just not seeing how this final post says "It's your funeral" in a town way. Looks more like a threat.

Anyone here? I just read randombum's filter and it contains:

- his weird "elect scum for mayor" plan
- scumreads on OO and jcarlsoniv he never followed up
- late sheeps onto Prom and Chezinu wagons
- that's pretty much it

Does anyone have any reason to think this guy's town? because I can't find one

Yeah just looking at a couple filters regarding recent events. I'll look at randombum in a few, my last pass was quite a while back. Here's what I'm looking at now:

JJ voted Grush earlier in the day because "why not". This game is matching Grush town meta IMO so I want to see what JJ saw (he seems to have dropped it in favor of voting Vivax).

@JJ what is it about Grush's filter that makes you think he could be scum? WF asked you earlier and you simply said "his filter." You seem to have forgotten about that request given all your night action speculation. "His filter" is not an acceptable answer.

Not quite as strong as jcarl because jcarls filter just as shitty, but as I posted earlier jcarl backtracked his reads with almost no explanation which to me is worse than lurking.

Randombum.. thanks for going through the filters.

you have identified two people you are suspicious of.

What do you intend to do with them?


I already stated I'm going to lynch jcarl unless I get convinced by somebody else. If for some reason nobody wants jcarl and they want RO instead I'd be willing to lynch him too.

I still don't like him. In fact I've felt worse about him after he responded. I pointed out some thing I dislike as a scum behavior and his response was to get over it. However, there's like 8 lurkers on chez and I don't think I'll be swaying the town over from a very scummy looking chez that everybody already agrees on.

Interestingly enough he wanted to do a vote switch from Chez based on Chez not being shot by a town day-vig. But he is interested in lynching Jcarl and I think that's bonus points for him right now. Still not interested in a randombum lynch. He looks like he's trying to figure stuff out.

Well there's only two scum left and unless randombum and jcarlsoniv are the last two scum I don't see why scum randombum wouldn't attack a suspicious-looking jcarlsoniv. After all, randombum has to do something...

Have you checked Geript's meta as mentioned before?

If anyone wants proof Geript is scum/3rd party go look at his town filter from the last newbie mafia. It couldn't be more different, I usually hate meta reads but this one is nothing but net

Did you give it a look? It's night and day. Something is off about Geript this game and he's overplaying the martyr right now. I've done the martyring thing too, I martyred HARD in my second or third newbie game and I finally picked myself up and at least tried to do what any town player should do in his position: try to organize thoughts into cases and push them regardless of how terrible I looked.

Nothing is more telling than "Hey I'm gonna scumhunt hard and read everyones filters" and then never doing that and just pushing distrust on all the vocal town voices

the most significant things geript has done this game:
1. talk mess about VE, confirmed townie and potentially dangerous vet
2. talk mess about BC, confirmed townie and potentially dangerous vet
3. talk mess about me, potentially dangerous vet

his case against me depends on the idea that i heard about 2 night vigs in the scum qt and i just pointed out which post by vivax it was i was talking about and before that "slip" he had a null read on me so if he's still gonna call me scum, he's being illogical

MEANING his logic was formed for the purpose of the accusation not the accusation being formed on the basis of the logic

MEANING he is scum or incredibly bad and stubborn

I return to this and it's actually really resonating with me. What better plan for a scum team than to hunt vets inside and outside the thread. I mean unless DocH is scum (very doubtful) and picked up on this trait of Geript's to stick an easy case to a townie on the wrong track, the plan to attack vets both via NKs and inside the thread to sow discord/chaos is really actually an intriguing plan and had it been more successful I could see us being in a bad place. The question remains, why butt heads with the towniest mofuggas in the thread? The people with the most presence in the thread will always have the most material to draw from, and reading filters (as was definitely necessary) takes everything out of context making players who change their mind with good reasons more difficult to get a hold of when playing catch up.

DocH has been down with the town for every lynch so far and is making a whole lot of sense and I wish I could understand what it is exactly that Geript is finding so terribly scummy about him that there is an open ended pointless argument happening in the thread about it. The head to head is just not making sense from a town POV.
