Tell me Hapa, is this comment serious? I've seen plenty of mafia games that start out in a joking way and I don't see why it wouldn't be very easy for scum to do so. | ||

I don't think Hapa is scum based on what you said about him. I simply wanted to hear your opinion first before I gave mine since you seemed to place value on me sharing mine first while I could see no reason why. I find the post by hapa suspicious in that it has strong conclusions from very weak argumentation. That he's being so blunt about it and doesn't try to hide it does make me doubt, though. | ||

I perceive Dandel to be too fearless to be scum, and Dr.H (a vet player who he doesn't know) is a pretty brave target for a joke-bandwagon. Smacks of fearlessness and "not-giving-a-shit" about his image, hence he's town. Mr.CC just seemed townie with the light-heartedness of his posts. He also made me laugh a couple of times. Mafia's a simple game really. Dr. H has been 'cleared' only because he claimed blue, not because of the banter. I agree on your Dandel read; he seems aggressive and willing to take action, but I wouldn't colour him as green as you have. How you can call Mr. CC as anything above null is beyond me. He's barely posted anything. Also, fwiw, I didn't read my role until after I already commented on your post. I was going to bus you if we turned out to be in a scumteam :< | ||

If you answered that you thought him to be scum I would have mentioned the reasons for why I think he's town. That's why I asked you if you thought him to be scum. Since you said you doubt him to be scum I see no reason to mention the reasons for why I think he's town. I still have my reasons for my townread pasted in a document to be posted later if it need be. But I don't see a reason to defend anyone when he's not in danger. If you're town then just play like you're town and I might or might not change my opinion about you. Discussing my impression of you is not going to be productive. Try to find some useful information on your own instead. So you're hiding information about why you think Hapa is town (aka town tells), yet you consider him town for giving town tells. Which means that either you think Hapa is town for doing something anti-town, or you're being purposefully anti-town. Please do tell me if I'm missing a third option here because I don't see it. As for finding useful information on my own; there's precious little to go off in the thread so far other than the post I quoted before. We could talk about Dr.H's blueclaim but I don't see that going in any useful direction, nor all the joke votes that have been thrown around. Hapa's recent post doesn't really give me a lot. Hapa, why do you consider Cheesecake a town read? Do you have any current scumreads? | ||

Don't think he posted before since the game started. 2) Feel free to answer this question if you like but even talking about this seems so stupid I will just leave that as optional for you. Since when? When I feel like pressuring people, problem amigo? Because it's a massive difference in psychology. A FoS is vastly different from a vote in terms of confidence. A FoS indicates you don't really want to vote them yet, but are suspicious of them. A vote indicates a greater degree of certainty. The fact that you went from a FoS to a vote with nothing happening in between shows that you realized your lapse of logic in the meantime and tried to salvage the situation by voting on me and hoping no one would notice. It's a subconscious thing. I just checked if you used it before. You did so once, when you were scum., and once when you were town. The difference is, in the scum game you changed your mind an hour and a half in. In the town game, you changed your mind over the course of two days and didn't even end up voting for the guys you FoSed. Your current meta matches up with your scum game, and not your town game. | ||

To add something more substantial to this: I'll make a recap of what I found scummy about artanis. [*] Enters the thread first joking then immediately going serious mode on Hapa. [*] Posts something about Hapa that actually made him likely town in my eyes and calls it buddying, not giving out townreads. [*] You can only call it buddying when you think/know the people he gave townreads to are town. In totes, I disliked the whole buddying argument. I did not read my alignment yet before these points. I also don't consider them anti-town. I entered the thread jokingly, then realized a bunch of people had already posted and people might react negatively to me for it. Regardless of your alignment, you do not want to get lynched so I started to actually read after that. Also, when you post town reads, in my eyes you're buddying up to them. Look look how townie I think you are do you think I'm townie too please say yes [*] He reacted strongly defensive to a simple FoS and my following posts and didn't actively tried to persuade me that Hapa's actions were scummy. I'm a defensive player. You were in Fruity Mafia, you saw how much time I spent looking as confirmed as possible. I was town. [*] When asked about his stance on Hapa he didn't want to commit and I read that as fearful. Why does he ask Hapa questions about something if he doesn't think it's scummy? I thought it was strange at first, that's why I brought it up. Later, I realized that posting something like that this fearlessly weighs up to the buddying. [*] He sheeps Hapa's bad argument against me "Oh I didn't see that point before"-style, that looks convenient and not like he sincerely reads me as scum. That it's a bad argument is your opinion. I think it's a strong one, and I'm not the only one that sees it that way. What a surprise that the person whose being accused things his accusation is poor. Will post arguments for why I think Hapa is town where Artanis said he saw buddying and also why the way of Artanis attacking that post was scummy when I feel like and when I got enough feedback on Arta. What are you even saying here? In the meantime, discussing whether a FoS is a massive difference in psychology like Artanis wants me to is so abysmal I refuse to do that. He confirmed by himself I used that as both alignments and [*] Bends that to his purposes of calling me scum by noticing irrelevant differences. Yeah, because those timings are completely irrelevant. They are key differences and show the difference in mindset between the two games. You're showing the mindset you had in the scumgame in this game. | ||

Scum would accept my allegation as 100% true rather than such a specific filter dig. That's incorrect, I do things that show effort as scum too, I dig up meta and post notes and shit. What we see here is just an effort to ride on an awful points trying to imply I'm scum based on a time difference between a FoS and a vote which is so ridiculous I don't want to discuss the basic flaws of it like Artanis wants me to. It's not just the time difference, it's that nothing changed between the FoS and the vote yet you changed from a FoS to a vote, which collaborated with your scum game which played out very similarly, yet not with your town game. That you don't grasp this simple concept is beyond me, and using the "it's so dumb I won't even address it" argument is not going to work for you here. I still have no clue how to read the sudden change. | ||

I see a much better target in Vivax and more inactive players in Jay for example. That doesn't mean I liked all of your posts today. I think I'm a better target than the doctor because I'm playing the game and he hasn't made a post in quite some time. If he goes afk, why would he be shot? I even mentioned that he's afking in the post you quoted, surely you can extrapolate the logic from that. And now I'm really going to play. | ||

Jay looks awful. It makes little sense that he'd resign this easily while contributing absolutely nothing. Since there's no vigi possible in any of the setups and we can be pretty sure scum won't shoot him when he isn't scum we'd have this question roaming around town until we decide to lynch him. I want to give Jay one last chance to come up with his own reads before anyone hammers him though. The lynch is going very easily, but it could be a bus so eh. Regarding Vivax: I still think the post I made on him regarding the FoS thing is strong, and it's still a cause for concern. However, his posting as of late has been good and that can't be overlooked. I'm not willing to lynch him right now after the interactions he's had with Promethelax especially, in which I'd say the latter didn't look as good. He seems suspicious of everyone, is throwing his votes around and commenting on a lot of things. If he's scum, I should be able to find something other than the nugget I had. I haven't yet. Prome's case on him feels weak. Regarding his case on me: He keeps stressing the point about me calling out Hapa on his town reads and calling it buddying. I found it suspicious that he was happy to call people townie for such little reason, which presumed me to believe he was trying to gain favour from people. Furthermore, I hadn't even read my role yet so there was little reason for me to pursue scum agenda there. I didn't even make reads on the guys he called green yet, I just saw that post, had read the posts before and thought "what, how can you say that after this little content" after which I posted the comment I did. Regarding Helvetica's post: His vote post is so wishy washy that it's obviously just a pressure vote rather than actually suspecting me. His main argument is that I'm noncommital; I'm always noncommital. I'm an honest person in character and find it difficult to overexaggerate things or try to mislead people, so I don't do those things. I push people as strong as my case is, and my case on Vivax rested on the meta argument I provided before. I don't pretend to be more confident then I am. As for the argument that Prome is playing different from his meta: I haven't digged into it yet. You can't expect me to meta read every single player in the game before making statements about them. Tl;dr I'm not willing to lynch Vivax anymore until I get more evidence that he is scum and I'm good with a jay lynch unless he suddenly improves strongly. I still want to give him a chance to reply though. ## Unvote | ||

This isn't definite but I'm willing to lynch Artanis over Prom currently. No mentioning of Artanis whatsoever except for once where he called me scummy for attacking Artanis and then backing off him. Prom say goodbye to your relationship and be prepared for my ranting about you attacking me in such scummy and dishonest ways if you are indeed town. ##Unvote ##Vote Artanis I think Vivax is town now.. At this point, people were suspecting Prome a bit but no one was really questioning me. Given Prome's tunneling on Vivax he could easily have gotten away with continued tunneling on Prome, yet he didn't and changed his opinion, albeit on something retarded. Jay didn't mention me, no. He didn't even answer the question I asked him. Why would a scum master plan include an unanswered question? He also never discussed me because by the time there was actually some suspicion on me not from you, he already went into resignation mode. All he did until then was answer about whatever was the town's main suspect. He has almost no content in his filter about anything else. I've already commented on the rest of your reasons for calling me scum. As to anyone calling me scum for not being super duper convinced about people: Check my meta. I never am. I'm also not a veteran, I've just been around for a long time. That doesn't mean I've played a lot of games. Regarding the town PM claim thingy; I made sure to check the OP to see if it's in there before I said anything as I didn't want to cheat. Just checked out Promethelax' meta. Unfortunately it's inconclusive as the last scum game he's played has been a while ago. In this game, he's sheeped my opinions at the start, also commenting on Hapa calling other people town quickly, though he stepped off of it about as quickly as I did. His interactions seem to be suspicious of everyone, but overly so. Vivax indicated that he didn't like both my, your and Jay's posting. Continuously going on about the order of it feels disgenuine. He calls Vivax scum for not actually wanting to get his scumreads lynched despite the fact that he's been hammering on me all game for a 180 when he asked me to lynch you. I've finally decided that I lean town on that; it feels too ballsy and spontaneous for scum. The rest of Prome's filter focuses nearly entirely on Vivax, calling him scum with nigh every post. Fuck, despite that some things feel off in his filter I can't reconcile this idea with Prome being scum. If he is indeed scum and gets Vivax lynched as green, he'd look terrible and definitely not survive two more lynches. He also looks to be genuinely wanting a Vivax lynch. With Hapa claiming to be the other named VT, he's obviously town but I already felt that way about him. That leaves Dandel Ion, Thrawn, and Mr. Cheesecake . Dandel Ion seems to be a massive troll that likes posting a bunch of oneliners that mean nothing. In his scum game though he was a lot more serious, as was the case in his first scum game. Even in his accusatory posts as town, he's more jovial than as scum. His current game fits his meta as town. Thrawn has played a mildly active game at best. In his most recent scum game he got caught on day 1. The other scumgame he played he also had a short 8-page filter in a 200 page game. In this town needs guns, he was more active, though still not as much as others. Thrawn has been more active this game. His hammer of Jay felt premature but I don't think it's a scumtell. Cheesecake's activity has been depressingly low and his filter is awful. He's doing nothing, but it doesn't line up with both his town and scum meta so it's not alignment revealing. In his godfather scum game he played a very pandering game, trying to stay on everyone's good side. The scum game's a few months back so it could be that he's learned from then. Cheesecake's played a poor game so far. What's weird is how he formulated his reads. First he said he wants to lynch Vivax/Jay/Prome with me as a maybe, then he indicates I'm now his main suspect with Promethelax and Vivax also being good candidates. His hammering on Jay could be a bus, and it's the only serious pressure he's given anyone. Also.

You started by posting meta arguments about thrawn and then quoted some stuff about CC and rushed to the conclusion of favouring him over thrawn which doesn't make much sense from my perspective. Based on what you wrote about your scumreads I would have expected you to favour thrawn over CC also considering that you seem to have put more effort into reading thrawn's meta than CC's, and if you put more effort into something then it means you would have had a stronger suspicion of thrawn beforehand, which you didn't so it looks to me like you just dug up some stuff and then decided to vote CC cause you don't really care who of them gets lynched. Just based on the investment you made into digging up thrawn's meta it would be more logical for you to favour his lynch from a dissonance PoV. That said, know I'm still watching you and you are my #1 scumread. I also didn't like how you just unlurked to answer a question but don't push for the lynches when you knew I was in the thread. Hapa asked me to post reads on everyone. My reads were developing as I looked into people. I spent two hours looking through filters. I put more energy into you and Prome than the others after which I wasn't particularly feeling like doing more but I couldn't just post two town reads and keep it at that. I know I'm town, yet I didn't have a strong scumread on anyone anymore after my read on you updated. I hadn't looked much into Dandel, Thrawn or CC much because I was too busy tunneling you and Prome. I initially had a town read on everyone when I made the meta analysis and Thrawn was the last person I analyzed, so I was more thorough with him but didn't find it convincing, so I went back and gave CC another look. I unlurked because I woke up. I went to bed before the daypost came up. | ||

I've finally decided that I lean town on that; it feels too ballsy and spontaneous for scum. The rest of Prome's filter focuses nearly entirely on Vivax, calling him scum with nigh every post. Fuck, despite that some things feel off in his filter I can't reconcile this idea with Prome being scum. If he is indeed scum and gets Vivax lynched as green, he'd look terrible and definitely not survive two more lynches. He also looks to be genuinely wanting a Vivax lynch. With Hapa claiming to be the other named VT, he's obviously town but I already felt that way about him. That leaves Dandel Ion, Thrawn, and Mr. Cheesecake . Dandel Ion seems to be a massive troll that likes posting a bunch of oneliners that mean nothing. In his scum game though he was a lot more serious, as was the case in his first scum game. Even in his accusatory posts as town, he's more jovial than as scum. His current game fits his meta as town. Thrawn has played a mildly active game at best. In his most recent scum game he got caught on day 1. The other scumgame he played he also had a short 8-page filter in a 200 page game. In this town needs guns, he was more active, though still not as much as others. Thrawn has been more active this game. His hammer of Jay felt premature but I don't think it's a scumtell. Cheesecake's activity has been depressingly low and his filter is awful. He's doing nothing, but it doesn't line up with both his town and scum meta so it's not alignment revealing. In his godfather scum game he played a very pandering game, trying to stay on everyone's good side. The scum game's a few months back so it could be that he's learned from then. Cheesecake's played a poor game so far. What's weird is how he formulated his reads. First he said he wants to lynch Vivax/Jay/Prome with me as a maybe, then he indicates I'm now his main suspect with Promethelax and Vivax also being good candidates. His hammering on Jay could be a bus, and it's the only serious pressure he's given anyone. Also. What's changed in these times? You've made a full 180 and you haven't said why. You haven't contributed to town other than telling your reads when prompted, you've been a lot less active than you have in your previous games, and your filter is pretty bad. Given I don't see scum elsewhere Cheesecake is my current top suspect. No reasoning for read changes, and is playing a jovial game which contradicts his recent town game. ##Vote: Mr. Cheesecake What is Artanis doing with this post? A) Picking on weak players. This would be myself admittedly, Dandel, and somewhat Thrawn. <--- Scum agenda I only called one person scum in this post and that's you. I even explicitly said I think Dandel matches his town meta. B) Says I hammered Jay. What? I think you need to learn some reading comprehension. I said Thrawn hammered Jay. C) Plays the "I'm not a vet so I'm not right all the time" card. I also have the luxury of knowing he is voting for town. Yes, I'm playing that card because people push me into the role of being a vet when I'm not. Read Hapa's post about it, that's why I brought it up. | ||

The reason I decided to hammer Vivax was because my read on him changed from how he posted since my post saying he was town, but it was not long enough ago to make credible. Prome's post was decent and despite saying I had a town read on Vivax now, the initial idea I had about him being scum in the start of the game still nagged at me in my head. It was also somewhat of an OMGUS since Vivax has been at my throat all game, I will admit. But tell me, how does my action make sense as a scum that actually wants to win? Also, kill anyone that decides to hammer me early. Even if this defence isn't satisfactory I'd like to at least give out some reads before I die. | ||

You shouldn't have done it/ If it doesn't make sense for me to do as scum, then think harder goddamnit. It was actually Promethelax' post that convinced me in the end. I still had doubts regarding Vivax but found him likely to be town, then he pushed me some more with a strange post that seemed a bit wishy washy. Artanis, look at Vivax's interactions with you. Look at the way he has twice now called you his biggest scum read while trying to direct your vote elsewhere. Vivax is scum. It should be more obvious to you than anyone else. Vote with me. Lynch scum. Help town win this game. He appealed to my emotions hard as fuck. Made me think "fuck, what if he IS scum and he's been playing on my exact thought process all along. What if what I think he's town for is all calculated?" and I thought back to the original point I made about the FoS which sealed the vote. As for reads, I'll post them later this afternoon. Gotta go to uni in a bit. If you'll all post a link to your latest scumgame and town game it'd make things easier for me as apparently the database isn't always accurate. | ||

That said, I like the posts you've made. They feel genuine. I'm going to wait for Prome to return and read Day1 back again before I attach conclusions to it though. | ||

Also Thrawn, I don't think you were being an ass, I just don't think you were invested in the game up until D3 and didn't bother reading the game properly until Prome motivated you to do so. It was very frustrating playing with you, Cheese and Dandel when you really seem to put in no effort in your posts for the longest time, and it works very demotivating. | ||

When I did do so and people barely/didn't respond to it and still happily voted for me, it doesn't particularly make the game very fun. | ||
