@BH
Can you explain why you chose to mason GK and then VE?

Also, I think you might as well claim your role in full and tell us if you are allowed to post the mason logs or not. Probably wait until the daypost to do this though.

Yo scib

I still haven't finished reading (I got caught up in huge IRC chat, and Hydra+Personality ending), but why do you seem all bark and no bite this game? You know I have a *TON* of respect for your town game. I'm not feeling it so far this game, though. What do?


And I was so looking forward to your first post Keirathi. Yea I'm not too happy with my play this game either. I hate lynching townies. As to "all bark and no bite" I know what you mean. This game feels different to me, maybe because of the size. I feel like I haven't been guiding town sufficiently well.

Don't know what else to say though. Maybe you have *TOO* much respect for my town game. I'll do my best to not disappoint on D2. How bout that.

Also, please be town.

I find, a one time admission of this is usually what a town player does.

But you have done it repeatedly, leading to two conclusions

(1) You hope you have town cred, and trying to make an appeal to popularity for GK to be town
(2) You are establishing a minor "newbie" shroud over GK, essentially an additional appeal

Considering I dont have a town read at all from GK... and factoring your coach comments above AND CONSIDERING AS WELL you're a much more meek and timid personality (comp. Mafia LX). I would bank you are both scum

Respond to this post BH, because it contains no ad hom attacks and raises points I'd like you to address. Why were you so bent on emulating your previous, confident play earlier on while your play since suggests a more cautious, reserved approach?


I'm not emulating my confident play-- my play, if you don't count my blue actions, is utterly confident. Yes, my choice of mason targets was cautious, but I was unable to post as much as I'd like during D1 because TPS and sandro's cycles lined up. The fact of the matter is, I had more to gain and far less to lose from masoning GK than from masoning one of my scumreads, especially when those scumreads are TPS and Testsubject, both of whose intransigence would likely not translate well to a mason QT.

Was GK a newbie, and probably easily impressioned by me? Sure, of course. But on the other hand, he's also a newbie who has been coached by me. He knows how I think and how I hunt scum. Of all the various newbies in this game to mason, GK is the most likely to figure me out if I am scum. Of all the various vets in this game to mason, Ve is the most ly likely to figure me out if I am scum. My blue actions are for discussion scumreads, and cautious, but if I were scum they'd be hideously risky.

I'd really feel better if GK were here to talk also *nudge nudge*

Course u do, it would be coordinated if GK was here.

I dont like this BH.. this reads as a politician trying to sway me around
"I had more to gain and far less to lose." Blah Blah Blah

Town BH is Motherfucker.. i did this, its the right choice, dont question me

Keep up those meek and timid speeches scum

If u want me to start pulling Mafia LX quotes and providing contrast I shall oblige... if u havnt forgotten (MilkSuckler- me) and you had epeen battles in LX.. and this is going radically different.

Now that game I am town... this game im town

That game you were town.. this game.. (well surely u can spot the difference)

Like I could have masoned Glurio or Vivax or Hyaach and none of those guys know me remotely well enough to finger my scum play via Mason QT. There are also plenty of plausible vets to mason, from Kitaman to DYH to Wiggles. I masoned people who have interacted with me extensively because as a town player, that's where I have most to gain. And yes, I am aware as a scum player I could just mason who I'd mason as town and this seems WIFOMey, but it's not WIFOM: It's WTHTD (link), Wine That's Harder To Drink. My actions make perfect sense as town, and although as scum I might do them just to appear town, it would be enormously risky to do so.

I have been threatened multiple times with modkills this game due to my aggression, in both private and public. You can see the mods posting in the thread about it. Take a look at where my aggression tuned down. Look at how I'm treating geript. I'm trying to defuse the situation because yes, in addition to being aggressive I am also a reasonable guy who doesn't like getting modkilled. People asked for my rationale for my blue actions. Was my thought process cautious? Yes. Does my thought process make ANY SENSE AT ALL coming from a scum perspective? NO.

It wouldn't be coordinated though would it? I thought the mason 'connection' ends with each phase, meaning his connection now is with VE?
If you look at his earlier posts defending GK he is trying to coordinate a defense there and sounds pretty confident aside from when GK basically leaves him in the lurch and doesn't show up. Which posts specifically lead you to believe he is acting rather than actually going through with 'motherfucker' BH, Mocsta?

Meh. You've consistently been the "best" townie (well, maybe you could argue that you weren't the best in Not Another Normal, but no one was really spectacular and you NAILED talis) in every game I've seen/been apart of. So yea, I expect a lot from you, and I've been pretty disappointed up until page 25 or so. And in these last few pages since I replaced in.

Look, you guys can say "Blazinghand isn't playing like he did last game" all you want, but last game D1 scum was obvious, and every day after that I had a red check on an obvious scum player. I'll reference Mario mini where people said "BH isn't playing like his town play" and basically wehre after me for meta reasons (link)

Ill be back in a few hours prk ably to vote one of these guys trying to opt out of the discussion by voti g me or more likely to call tbem Bad and develep DP case or talk Bout hopeless 1 meat



Basically, I'll say this: show me how this fits my scum meta, and you have a meta case going. If all you can say is "BH isn't playing the same as last game", then you're making the same mistake people ALWAYS make when they try to meta read me.

I wouldn't call masoning with me "risky" and I'm sure most of the vets on this site would agree with me...but that's a conversation for another time because that part of the argument IS WIFOM.

The fact of the matter is that during the day I made no secret about having a town-read on you based on your early play - if you'll recall I invited you in this thread to be on The Team. Obviously any assertion that you were "at risk" by masoning me is pretty much null considering that scum have to take risks to win the game. It becomes a question of when, and what kinds of opportunities arise.
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

This will drop my credibility of attack. But in fairness. I am only familiar with the posts from 7->20 and 40 -> 47

In those posts, BH is timid (in particular his opening).. im not aware of modkill threatens. So ima take a step back and re-evaluate

P.S. the coordination wasnt in reference to mason QT lol

Not because of your read on me, VE-- at the end of D1 EVERYONE had a townread on me basically. Because we've played dozens of games together, and out of everyone here you are the single player who knows me best. If there's anyone in this game I wouldn't mason as scum, it would be you. Not because of your reads, not because you're some super scumhunter (though you are talented), but because you know me best. That's why you and GK are both risky for me as a scum player to mason, but both excellent for me as a town player to mason: you know me well. This isn't WIFOM, it's WTHTD.

You bought yourself time with this argument. I have no counter, because the point is indeed valid.

EBWOP: But certainly, if you play more up to my standards on day 2, all is good <3

OK OK you have motivated me to spend every available waking moment on this game for the next 48 hours. D2 scum lynch incoming. Now it'll be really tragic if I get shot tonight x_x

The fact of the matter is that during the day I made no secret about having a town-read on you based on your early play - if you'll recall I invited you in this thread to be on The Team. Obviously any assertion that you were "at risk" by masoning me is pretty much null considering that scum have to take risks to win the game. It becomes a question of when, and what kinds of opportunities arise.


Not because of your read on me, VE-- at the end of D1 EVERYONE had a townread on me basically. Because we've played dozens of games together, and out of everyone here you are the single player who knows me best. If there's anyone in this game I wouldn't mason as scum, it would be you.

Nah.. i masoned a guy in personality that knew me best out of everyone.. and i was scum

its even more powerful if you can convince that guy you are town.. surely that skill level is not beneath u BH?

not buying that argument.

Couple things, BH.
This was promised and we never got it, and we haven't heard anything regarding your top scumreads, TPS/Testsubject in a while. Are we going to receive any of this before deadline in case you are night target?

As an aside, another reason I masoned GK is that I've interacted with him in QTs before when I coached him, and I knew I'd be able to get a perfect read on him from doing so, as well as help his scumhunting.

Coming in as a replacement.

I noticed you keep trying to reenforce you know GK well cos you coached him

I find, a one time admission of this is usually what a town player does.

But you have done it repeatedly, leading to two conclusions

(1) You hope you have town cred, and trying to make an appeal to popularity for GK to be town
(2) You are establishing a minor "newbie" shroud over GK, essentially an additional appeal

Considering I dont have a town read at all from GK... and factoring your coach comments above AND CONSIDERING AS WELL you're a much more meek and timid personality (comp. Mafia LX). I would bank you are both scum

Sandroba said it best...Let me remind you.

BH is trying to emulate his previous behavior.


Respond to this post BH, because it contains no ad hom attacks and raises points I'd like you to address. Why were you so bent on emulating your previous, confident play earlier on while your play since suggests a more cautious, reserved approach?


I'm not emulating my confident play-- my play, if you don't count my blue actions, is utterly confident. Yes, my choice of mason targets was cautious, but I was unable to post as much as I'd like during D1 because TPS and sandro's cycles lined up. The fact of the matter is, I had more to gain and far less to lose from masoning GK than from masoning one of my scumreads, especially when those scumreads are TPS and Testsubject, both of whose intransigence would likely not translate well to a mason QT.

Was GK a newbie, and probably easily impressioned by me? Sure, of course. But on the other hand, he's also a newbie who has been coached by me. He knows how I think and how I hunt scum. Of all the various newbies in this game to mason, GK is the most likely to figure me out if I am scum. Of all the various vets in this game to mason, Ve is the most ly likely to figure me out if I am scum. My blue actions are for discussion scumreads, and cautious, but if I were scum they'd be hideously risky.

I'd really feel better if GK were here to talk also *nudge nudge*

Course u do, it would be coordinated if GK was here.

I dont like this BH.. this reads as a politician trying to sway me around
"I had more to gain and far less to lose." Blah Blah Blah

Town BH is Motherfucker.. i did this, its the right choice, dont question me

Keep up those meek and timid speeches scum

If u want me to start pulling Mafia LX quotes and providing contrast I shall oblige... if u havnt forgotten (MilkSuckler- me) and you had epeen battles in LX.. and this is going radically different.

Now that game I am town... this game im town

That game you were town.. this game.. (well surely u can spot the difference)

It wouldn't be coordinated though would it? I thought the mason 'connection' ends with each phase, meaning his connection now is with VE?
If you look at his earlier posts defending GK he is trying to coordinate a defense there and sounds pretty confident aside from when GK basically leaves him in the lurch and doesn't show up. Which posts specifically lead you to believe he is acting rather than actually going through with 'motherfucker' BH, Mocsta?


My current connection is with VE.

I am no longer connected with GK, although in addition to discussing pushing GM and how to respond to his martyring, we talked about future reads and pushes we have planned, as well as the possibility of GM being bussed.

doesn't matter, I'm either dead anyways due to NK and what you think is meaningless, or I have 48 hours to push my reads and how "long" it takes to convince you is not relevant.

Actually, as scum? Yes. :|

Anyone who has seen me play scum can tell you I am literally the least talented scum player in existence, as untalented as scum as I am talented at town.
