Anything beyond minor speculation and words of caution would be a foolish endeavor though. Anyway, I'm off to bed. I will try to read a bit before I head to work tomorrow. I work 2-10PM EST. I think you had a lot to say about setup speculation. I think you were getting seriously into it with color-coding and name-finding and even proposing mechanics that we have no evidence for. I think you wanted it to look like you were contributing, and when i called you out and voted you, after a surprsingly long pause you backed off. If you really believe in your ideas, why would one vote stop you? | ||

If he has a regular habit of being useless then a regular result should be him getting lynched and getting lynched early. I'm not going to pussyfoot around and say "Hey you better contribute or else!" No, you had your chance. You started posting like shit. You get the axe until you prove you shouldn't. I'm not dealing with this into mid game where its a do or die scenario and we can't justify the do. But ask yourself. What has any of those 3 posts brought to the game? They brought nothing except excess posts. It clutters are game and hurts us. It isn't just that they were shit. They were pointless and scummy shit. Pretty much every other person has contributed more than a couple of words in their posts and that's a standard worth holding people to. So we should kill Coagulation because he is both scummy and worthless. I can't imagine a better criteria. Your vote is literally meaningless. Coag's meta is to do this. He's well known, and in time we will have a chance to better discern his alignment. You think based on a couple meaningless posts we have grounds to lynch him? He's clearly just joshing around. What I find scummy is an attempt to contribute and write big posts that are actually meaningless, or an attempt to look like you're contributing when in fact you are not. I didn't like your low-quality posts on setup speculation (nonvaluable, looks like you're contributing to the untrained eye) and I like your attack on Coag here even less. What's your reason for voting coag? He made some worthless posts, but unlike you, he took no efforts to make the sewage exploding from his mouth look useful. He might be shit, but at least he's honest about it. What you're doing here? This is a policy lynch of Coag. That's literally what this is. You're saying "coag's style doesn't sit well with me, and even though others have told me about his meta, I'm going to disregard that and just lynch him anyways cause i'm bad or scum" Like, you say coag is scummy and worthless based on a lack of interest int he game 24 hours in, and also this is fucking coag. You know this wagon won't work, but here you get to look "principled" and appear to contribute to town without giving reads on the cases that matter. Why no weighing in on Geript and his scummy play (though he's simply an idiot afaik) or GoodKarma, who although he is playing to his town meta from NMMXXIV and not like scum as he was in LVII, is lynchbait since he posts slowly and poeple don't know him? They're absent from your filter. No thoughts on VE's hilarious but ultimately unuseful plan? It's more and more obvious. You're opting out of the town discourse. It would have fooled a lesser town. But this town has me. You die today, thepeashooter. Anyone who thinks otherwise has another thing coming. | ||

You don't think coag is scum based off of him posting a couple one-word posts in the first 12 hours of play. And even if you did, the way thepeashooter is going about supporting his case and posting smacks not of a town scumhunter trying to reel in his prey, but a scum player who's avoiding giving out meaningful reads. He doesn't want to pull back the curtain too much, he doesn't want us to see how he thinks. He knows serious engagement would betray his true colours: red | ||

There is a possibility he's a smurf of a younger player who hasn't heard of coag, or he literally made his account just before this game started, just to sign up for the last spot. I consider both of these possibilities somewhat unlikely. And, even considering the apparent vacuousness of his vote on coag, he hasn't taken a stance on GK or Geript or really anyone or anything, ignoring all other discussion in town to tunnel his target. This is an easy way for scum to avoid meaningful interaction with town and giving out reads. We don't know anything about his thought-process, so of course it seems WIFOM-ey-- but his play absolutely prevents us from clearing the wine from in front of us. I'm not saying he's a bad scum player-- this is a clever ruse. But he is scum. Town would have an opinion on GK, ESPECIALLY town pushing another lynch. Can this guy really be considered to be "pushing" coag given that he hasn't tried to stop the GK lynch at all? He's putting forth a simulacrum of what a townie does. Clever, but not enough. | ||

I think it's disingenuous to say he's tunneling Coag when he made a post calling him out, I asked him if he was familiar with his meta, and he freaked out within a short time frame. I agree that I wouldn't say he's pushing Coag, but we don't know if he's just apathetic to pushing it, or he agrees with other cases since he's gone inactive. So I don't really have warm fuzzy feelings about the guy, but I think your case is somewhat misrepresentative, just because he hasn't posted and it's basing things as though he's actually been around to exhibit that behaviour. He stopped posting 2 hours before the first vote on GK went down, but it's been like 18 hours since then. Where is he? He still hasn't weighed in on Geript either, and Geript was under pressure while he was posting in thread. If he comes back, says he's been gone for 18 hours like grooming a chicken or whatever and he has serious thoughts to give, then I may rethink things. But as it stands, simply straight-up lurking and not posting is NOT a defense for his actions. | ||

The GK in this game is the town GK that I've coached and observed extensively. He is cautious, posts rarely, and builds up momentum to be a formidable scumhunter. This is not the kinda uncaring, willing-to-make-any--case scum GK that I've seen. He is not a good D1 lynch. He is not a good vigi shot. He is town. | ||

It smacks of a new scum player being coached, backtracking his thoughts, and generally being muddled. I also don't like that he hasn't weighed in seriously on the main wagons. That being said, this seems to me to also smack of "townie who thinks he knows what he's doing but is literally bad". I feel an urge lynch him for reasons similar to the reasons I want to lynch TPS, but he smells like a mislynch. He is ineffective and bad, but he has no fear of calling people out. This reveals imo a town mindset, albeit that of a bad townie. "oh bh are you soft defending zarepath" well admittedly yes, this is a soft defense. I don't have a townread on him. But he is playing recklessly and thoughtlessly, much like a poorly-thought-out town play. I can't let that lie. | ||

Anyway BH I'm intrigued by your ideas and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Tell me more about TestScum so that I may be a believer. Well i'm not gonna bother him about his "internet outage" but his entry post into the game mostly revolves around my interaction with TPS. I think a town player would be more like "hey guys I think geript and zare are scum AND HERE'S WHY AND HERE'S A VOTE", and probably make that like the majority of their post rather than quibbling on whether my prior assumption of coag's alignment is pro-town atmosphere or anti town atmosphere. And the stuff speculating about roles is just garbage. | ||

If you're going to vote me just for thinking that bad town causes town to lose, your vote won't me moving any time soon. So far you've talked about a number of topics, including whether attacking co-ag creates the right kind of "atmosphere", last game, VE's hilarious attempts to organize town, and finally a tiny little sentence about your scumreads. No votes, no cases, not even a rehashing of what convinced you or an attempt to convince others! Nothing. You are far more interested in arguing about whether I'm creating a good atmosphere than actually creating one by pressuring scum or helping your wagon. You dont' want to lynch geript and zare. you just want to say you want to lynch them. scum. | ||

It's going to be short and sweet.: A big part of day one is establishing a good future town atmosphere. To that end, there are several people that are not participating as they should. The guiltiest of these are: Jhuyt and Golbat. Jhuyt: Jhuyt is especially suspicious to me right now. I have read the recent case presented against him by Archrun above. I tend to agree heavily with his first point: about Jhuyt's experience with Solar's post history on TL being consistent with his posting. I'm not ready to call Jhuyt a liar, but claiming Solar is troll/emotional generally on TL requires further explanation. Upon looking through some of his posts, I haven't seen this to be the case. If he is lying, this is enough reason to lynch him. Now the other part of Jhuyt that is scummy is how wishy-washy he is in the limited amount of content he has posted. Let's look at his latest post. In bold are his current "reads" on certain people. Notice how hesitant he is to take a stance on anyone.: Also, he is currently the winner of the "lurker prize." It is clear from what he has contributed that he has little interest in scum hunting. Therefore: ##Vote: Jyuht Consider it both a vote based on scum behavior and on "lurker policy." In the absence of a stronger scum read my vote goes on him. Golbat: I expected more from you. I know that it really sucks being mislynched day 1, and I haven't ruled out your lurkiness as being from over-reacting to your poor play in XXII by playing almost the exact opposite of how you played then. But you have to step up and continue posting your reads. What got you in trouble then was vote-swapping without giving much explanation. As long as you give an explanation for your reads, don't be afraid to FoS and vote. What you're doing now makes you look just as scummy as how you looked in XXII. ##FoS: Golbat YourHarry: I haven't forgotten about you. However poorly I feel you'd be playing as town by playing the way you are right now, I can't say it would be inconsistent with what I'd expect based on your previous play. I'm not un-FoS-ing you but I'm not ready to vote you as my top scum read right now either. is it shit? yes. But that was town GK, and this is town GK | ||

i still think GK isn't scum and testsubject IS scum. I know it's privileging the hypothesis but all the evidence around testsubject points to him being scum, and GK seems off but not entirely off. I don't want to be wrong, but if i'm wrong I want to be voting the right guy So I'm going to go fluff my komodo dragon's feathers for a bit and think on this. Even though GK's statements all seem scummy his TONE sounds like town GK, and yes I know that's not going to convince anyone but it has me convinced right now. I'll figure out what his deal is and why this is town GK and i'll show you all who's right and who's wrong testsubject be a man and post some serious case rather than flailing around like you are now if you ever want me not to lynch you today | ||

He thinks you're mightily suspicious apparently. it's a large dick waggling, unless we're talking about testsubject, in which case yes it is a little dick waggling the fact that testsubject has to be coerced into helping and has this issue with "town atmosphere" and Ve's role speculation still dominates my read of him. Look at it this way: testsubject, although he is not the sharpest chicken in the barrel, is capable of at least attempting on his own to write a case or push a read. Why isn't he doing that except when we prod him in the ass? at least an initial prodding might be forgiven if he actually did any work. Where is he ever doing anything other than slinging mud around, trying to appear helpful, etc like just the fact that we had to yell him into producing "supported" scumreads (as opposed to lynch preferences) AND have to wring a GK read out of him by hand is preposterous coming from a guy talking about town atmosphere | ||

He was in fact pushing the zarepath lynch. Since yesterday, zarepath looks if anything scummier, and the bandwagon on him has gotten stronger, and suddenly geript refuses to lynch him anymore. I can't help but wonder if the geript + zarepath theory was right all along. I don't like how Zarepath has been posting recently. His initial fearless posting (link)(link), however ill-advised it may have been, seemed to me to be townie. That plus my personal history with geript has led me to go soft on the two of them. I don't like that zarepath has become apologetic (link) and reserved (link), and his posting has gone down so much as the pressure has ramped up. That being said, his initial townlike recklessness and unthinkingness in posting resonates with me. His posting pattern tells me "town player who has no clue what he's doing" because of his initial earnestness. I will give him a second chance. GreYMisT, on the other hand, does not deserve another chance. GK already went over the initial scumminess in GreYMisT's entry into the game; the active lurking (link), the "trap" that (link) even viewed in the best possible light, is a noncase and a vote-threat that doesn't directly mean anything. "I was a potential mislynch, so the guy who pushed me is scum" is not a reasonable case, and if GreYMisT were like Grush or something I'd be like "wow Grush is Grush" but GM is in fact GM and not Grush. He opposed my meta read on GK (link) saying "that's just how GK thinks" without actually referencing a game of GK playing scum and acting like this. He made a meta read not based on GK's scum meta, but on... well, his word. I've exetensively provided reasoning for why GK is playing to his town and not scum meta, and everyone who's actually clicked through on my links has at least in part agreed with me. So what's with GreYMisT? He acts like he has a meta read on GK of "GK always posts like this as town or scum" but has NO EVIDENCE. He admits GK's actions could be town or scum (link) and after asserting that GK's actions are null, says he still wants to lynch GK (link) (link) only later supplementing his so-called "case" on GK with a one-liner (link) that actually literally refuses to engage with GK's defense. GreYMisT has slipped up badly-- he's accidentally let us peek behind the curtain at the man who doesn't think GK is scum but wants to lynch him anyways, the man who claims to have a meta read on GK but won't share details and has opted out of the town discourse as a result of his fixation on GK. If GreYMisT were really after GK, and REALLY had something to say about my meta defense of GK, He'd say it. He'd have said it. He'd have shouted it to the heavens, linked and quoted the evidence, and bitch-slapped me like the young punk I am. GreYMisT has blinked, multiple times, because his town play is interfering with his ability push a mislynch as scum. He is scum, and GK is town. We all know this to be true. ##unvote ##vote GreYMisT | ||

I'm gonna be straight with you: yes, I would love to lynch either of those clowns. I'd love it so much. But we've got like a few hours left in the day, and of the available wagons, there's a scum option. This isn't the time for a principled push of some doomed wagon, this is time to lynch scum. If your vote is on someone with like 1 or 2 votes, you either need to convince everyone to join you, or you need to get off the worthless wagon. Anything less is opting out of the town discourse and not an acceptable way to play. | ||

an entirely wrongheaded attack on GK, and unexplained scumreads on WoS and Testsubject. He's right on testsubject but never goes into detail.

Look, I'll admit GM wasn't my top scumread, which makes the swap to him look scummy. Normally I'd try to to voteswap shenannies to get my main dude lynched. But you know what? The deadline is at midnight PST, whcih is like ungodly oclock european time. There was no voteswap happening at the end of this day. I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like, but I've called it as I've seen it and weighed in on everything important that's happened in this damn game. Look at my filter and you'll see me taking positions, explaining myr easoning, and calling people out for bad reasoning on EVERYTHING because I am transparent. If you think I'm scum because I didn't have my vote on my top scumread at the end of the day, that's fine. I HAVE led good last-minute shennanies before and I didn't lead one this time. But you know what? DrH ended the day 10 minutes early. It wouldn't have worked anyways, and there weren't the people online for it, and if there were it doesnt' matter because the mod ended the day early. You think this is scum BH, fine. I'll make a better case on someone else and we'll lynch them first. All I have to do is scumhunt better than the jubjubs and scum and push me, and I won't get lynched. | ||

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* | ||

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. 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. | ||

I suspect there's some possibility you'll be up as a lynch candidate for D2 but realistically speaking most people have figured out you're town by now. Once I see this flip and the flips from night kills I'll probably be going for Mr. wiggles (unless something weird happens) or geript. Keep on scumhunting. 10 goodkarma 03-18-2013 01:48 AM ET (US) Since our QT time is almost up, let me take this opportunity to say it was a pleasure to share a QT with you again I wish I could have been more helpful with reads but tbh with the upcoming flips imho it's most prudent to look at everyone's filters again with a fresh mind. I'm going to be especially mindful of those who ignored/disregarded Greymist as a lynch candidate this cycle (I'm assuming he's going to flip scum). People like Hopeless and VE come to mind in that regard. The lack of resistance from Grey could also be from a pre-planned bus from scum. Something also I'm going to need to think about. It's a theory that at least would partially explain why Grey would ACTIVELY be in thread while not defending himself... Anyway, best of luck with your next guy. It's been fun 9 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 11:25 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Yeah, that's a good point. I know intellectually that martyring is not a towntell obviously-- and the fact that he's not even writing cases in his final hours is the final nail in the coffin tbh. If I were town at least I'd try to get in a last word right 8 goodkarma 03-17-2013 11:11 PM ET (US) Martyring also happens to be against the rules... That aside, I don't see how martyring makes Greymist town. He hasn't tried at all to defend himself. Maybe if he was tired of defending endless accusations or something I could see a townie Greymist doing it, but he can't be bothered to lift a finger in his defense... It seems more like a scumtell to me for that reason. 7 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 10:45 PM ET (US) Edit Delete On the other hand, I only have a couple strong townreads. I think I'll have to take a risk if I want to get rewards from this power. I get the feeling I'll be shot during the first few nights anyways, as always happens to me-- so I might as well try to make the most of my power. I still have some time to think it over. GreYMisT's martyring isn't particularly helpful. It kind of makes me think he's town, but I know I shouldn't think he's town just because he's martyring. I personally like the guy a great deal which is part of why. If he's scum though it's a clever low-cost way to sow doubt. 6 goodkarma 03-17-2013 10:16 PM ET (US) Yeah there's a chance Zerepath is a noobie townie. Though I don't like how he likes to bring up his newness to the format... I think that's a good approach to take with Mr. Wiggles. Looking at a town game, his play seems at least somewhat similar, so I would be inclined to give him time to prove if he's town or not. Geript could be scum. But with players that play as poorly as he does I tend to like to take in the big picture before coming to conclusions. After a few flips, it should be much clearer for me. As far as who you bring in, it's definitely up to you. But if it were me I'd focus on bringing in my strongest townreads. If you bring in a scum you'd become a high priority kill target. Just my two cents. 5 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 09:44 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Okay, I think I slammed GM pretty hard with that case. I am not 100% on Zarepath being town but defending him a bit should help get GM lynched. I'm gonna grab some dinner then come back and see if I can change some minds. 4 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 09:32 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Given the difficulty in getting this town to consolidate, I'm going to be pushing on GreyMist, since he's playing so far from his normal, useful meta (and has been also unwilling to follow up on his reads). I still am not convinced by the cases on Zarepath. I think he's a flailing townie who doesn't really know how to contribute-- the recklessness in his early posts tell me this. Regarding Wiggles, if he's town there's also a good chance he'll be shot tonight, so it could be more prudent to begin to pressure him tonight, then try to lynch him tomorrow if he's still not performing to his town standard. In any case, this QT and our ability to communicate will last until the end of today. I'm thinking of masoning with VE tonight, even though I don't have the strongest townread on him. Reason 1) if VE is town he's almost certainly the #1 mafia shot for tonight and this will be my only chance to talk to him in a QT Reason 2) if i get shot tonight ahead of a couple of the other head scumhunters, that (possibly) means that VE is scum and shot me to stop me from using my power more. So yeah I'll get my thoughts together for a defense of zarepath and an attack on greymist. 3 goodkarma 03-17-2013 09:25 PM ET (US) Coaching session #2? My first thought is I'd hesitate to bring up another lynch candidate right now. There's only like a billion out there, and we need to be striving toward consolidating our votes on (hopefully) two candidates. We're late in the cycle, so as long as you have a decent scum read on one of the candidates (Greymist, Zeriph, or Darthpunk), I would recommend you push your vote on one of them instead. But as far as Mr. Wiggles is concerned, I don't have the meta read benefit that you do. I can look into him more in a bit, but my impression at this point is similar to your assessment insofar as I haven't seen him be very invested in this game. If he is a strong town player, then I would agree there's a decent chance he's scum. I'll also look at Geript in a little bit. 2 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 09:07 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Okay so the hosts are dragging their feet with setting up the Mason QT so I'll drop some stuff in here since I have to step out for a moment. My power works on a per-phase basis and I was hoping to mason you for D2 but the chance you can be lynched is too high, so instead I'm masoning you for D1 so I can work with you while you're still alive. In any case, I currently have two strong scumreads I want to push, besides my tiff with Testsubject and with TPS (which I need to step back from due to emotional issues, at least for today). I suggest we pool our thoughts and reads since you are a pretty good scumhunter when you have someone to bounce ideas off of. Mainly I am concerned with Mr. Wiggles. He is an aggressive scumhunter and a capable asset as town, but his scum play isn't as good, and I'm pretty sure this is scum Wiggles. He didn't seriously follow-up on his attack on you, and only when prodded has he posted in the thread. When he DOES post, he composes his posts quite well-- they look and smell like cases-- but he doesn't back them up and press them the way a town player who really wanted to lynch his target would. For example, he calls up Coag's meta to defend coag, then utterly ignores meta to attack you. I jumped through all kinds of hoops to deflect it and even now he's trying to get a mislynch off on you, despite admitting you're playing to your town meta. The other player that bothers me is Geript, but I think I might be emotionally against him and seeing things I shouldn't-- I'd like you to check my logic here. Geript has been actively opposing attempts of town to organize and scumhunt, but not in a way that relays concerns for town complacency or other dangers of VE's gambit. furthermore, he is focusing his attacks on the most productive and useful townies rather than try to develop cases or even push his main targets. Whenever there's pushback, he changes who he's attacking. Normally I'd be on him like white on rice, but I mislynched him last game and am worried I am misreading him now. I'm going to be rolling out an attack on Wiggles shortly. Do you have any thoughts? 1 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-17-2013 08:52 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Mason QT between GoodKarma and Wade Fell for D1 of The Game. + Show Spoiler [with VE] + VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:55 AM ET (US) You will be avenged. 38 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:44 AM ET (US) Edit Delete TBH it's probably what I'd do if the situations are reversed. I'll never admit to setup speculation in public, but given a flipped mason, there's higher-than-average chance of other masons being scum. But at least, if I should die tonight for some reason, don't let geript walk free. That miserable cunt is laughing at me, VE. Laughing. 37 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:40 AM ET (US) It's the right move. If you're town you'll be able to prove it. I just don't think so based on the contents of this QT. And because you're "actively decreasing your post count" that's all I have to go on. Sorry dude. 36 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:21 AM ET (US) Edit Delete Fair enough. I'll be responding in thread. You wouldn't try to pull this as scum, so at least there's that. I don't think outing me as a Mason is the right move. DrH and Oats have both repeatedly privately threatened me with modkill due to spamming, which is why I have decreased my post count. The thoughts in here if I get shot tonight will corroborate your story that I did in fact mason you. 35 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:59 PM ET (US) To be frank you're entirely non-existant this game as compared to LX. I'm not really concerned about geript suspecting you because honestly before this conversation I was suspicious of you too. Being in a QT with someone pretty much excuses that though. Can you go into detail about your read on TPS? 34 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:51 PM ET (US) Edit Delete You're entirely non-crazy. I'll slap down a patented (link)-filled blazinghand style case on Ryu before the end of the night and see how he reacts to it. 33 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:34 PM ET (US) I was spitballing with you but you stated it as reasoning for wanting to lynch Ryu. For my part I just don't care what that says about anyone else yet. XD So I'm not crazy then? That's logical and I'm not losing my shit here? 32 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:30 PM ET (US) Edit Delete I don't understand the Zare question then. Overall the ryu thing seems pretty straightforwards: he shifted stance on sandro, he let the wagon push itself, and has given contradictory reads and not backed anything up. How does Zare or you commenting on wagon swings have to do with that? 31 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:26 PM ET (US) WTF? I don't even care about association theories. LOL 30 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:07 PM ET (US) Edit Delete regardless the common factor here is Ryu = scum in either theory, so we lynch him first 29 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:06 PM ET (US) Suppose Zare picked up steam? I neglected to comment on Zare what if I had commented and the wagon swung? 28 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:04 PM ET (US) Edit Delete alt theory: ryu geript zarepath scumteam, but I think DP was under more pressure than zare so this theory less plausib. ryu wanted to setup a GM lynch then hang back and see if it got steam without comitting, which is why his case is weak and explains thread absence after inital bad setup 27 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:04 PM ET (US) I wish I could DOTA. *dustkick* 26 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 06:02 PM ET (US) Edit Delete I'm playing dota ryu looks like shit, we lynch him tmr imo. his claim that he wasn't "afk" or whatever during the development of the greymist case is crap. weird contradictions also evidence for DP being scum but wont' comment on assoc between unflipped, will wait to see ryu flip will write more once i'm done doating 25 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 05:52 PM ET (US) You're here and not commenting on the case I'm making against Ryu in the thread. Care to comment here if you're trying to let it develop organically in the thread or something? Ryu is essentially claiming scum in the thread from my perspective. 24 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 05:34 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Yeah I didn't want it to be confirmed I was a blue. If you want you can ask him to confirm it and I'm sure he will but ideally we don't let scum know this 23 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 05:28 PM ET (US) I'm going to assume that you're not a Nightmare...because your communication only lasts a phase.

But that Vivax thing is not a scumslip. 21 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:56 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Fair enough. Whatever case is made against Vivax though should hinge on his town/scum mentality and not on the "Scumslip" about Yamato77 imo. Scumslips generally aren't actually real. 20 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:54 PM ET (US) I did point it out in thread, but to my knowledge you never commented. 19 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:51 PM ET (US) Edit Delete You already pointed out that post in-thread. Vivax either is scum or has no idea who his scumreads really are, since he claims scum are pushing a wagon but is marking people not on said wagon as scum. That's definitely a scumtell because a town player would probably remember who his own scumreads are, whereas a scum player would have trouble keeping his lies straight. It's the same thing that happens in his post-vote analysis. Basically, Vivax doesn't have consistent scumreads, and his analysis isn't pointing at the people who he says is scum. It's like he has a set of reads he feels some need to push, then writes analysis that isn't really related, rather than having a thought process that connects scumhunting to scumreads. Basically a town player wouldn't make this mistake because he'd be aware of who his scumreads actually are. 18 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:40 PM ET (US) Hrm @ Mocsta immediately jokingly buddying me. 17 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:11 PM ET (US) Also I feel like this post is dissonant. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=18078961 He states that he thinks "scum would have no need to switch off to a mislynch" and then concludes that two people who switched from DP to GM are scum. At least, that's what it looks like to me. I just skimmed it because I'm trying to work fast before I go to work.

This whole "yeah I'm gonna be shot for my good play, please protect me medic" thing really rubs me the wrong way. Not even countering the scumslip (which anyone could make), he hasn't been pushing a real town-motivated objective for most of D1. This is admittedly a softer read than I'd like but something intuitively is telling me that Vivax is scum, and I do well when I listen to that voice in my head. 12 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:02 PM ET (US) I'm saying give me a bit first.

THEN we'll talk about geript scum, and if necessary, bring it to the thread in full force. 11 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 01:01 PM ET (US) Stop that line of thinking. I'm not saying don't pressure him.

Officially. 8 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 12:58 PM ET (US) Edit Delete The problem with town Geript is he'll act like Geript in LX under pressure and become useless and probably mislynched. It's frustrating that that's the man's meta, but that's what it is. I don't want to let that dissuade me from pushing him though or else he's some horrible unlynchable scum player who is worthless as town. I'll finish up a case on TPS a bit later today to share. Ideally I'll chuck it up just before daybreak. I picked GK about halfway through the first day because I had a townread on him. If I mason a scum player, the chance of me getting shot goes up a lot, and I know GK pretty well-- he was, and is, almost certainly town. I'm masoning with you tonight because if scum is smart at least one of us won't be around tomorrow. 7 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 12:52 PM ET (US) I don't wanna run with that geript read. I want to engage him on his actual suspects, without fear of him losing his shit and looking even scummier if he's town. Like...if he's town, we gotta handle with care because you and I both are gonna probably think he's scum. I want to engage him personally on his reads, and we'll see what we see then. TPS I can run with. I didn't like that post quoting your posts at all, and it didn't make any sense singling you out. So you can pick a new target every cycle? Every cycle?

I'm a masoner who can mason a new person every phase, and I cannot remason someone I've already masoned. During D1 I masoned with GK, which is part of why I became very sure he was town. I'm reasonably confident you're town, but if you're scum well you were probably gonna shoot me tonight anyways. In any case, I currently have two strong scumreads I want to push. I'll admit I never super looked into DP since I was more focused on other candidates for D1, so I'll add him to my "stuff to post just before daybreak" list, but right now I'm more worried about Geript and TPS. I've talked a lot about TPS in thread already but mainly I'm concerned about his attempts to _look_ like he's contributing without actually doing it. I'm like 90% sure his "anger" at my spamming is faked given that you had the same filter length as me at the time and his response to it was to just quote a bunch of my posts. He's done a pretty slick job of not contributing to the game and looking like an "emotional townie" Geript might be just me being mad, but it really just looks like he's attacking anything constructive that tries to happen. I still don't like his RNG discussion at the start of the day, but even ignoring that, he never made a really good case for why zare was scum other than "he worded things differently this game", and he switched to GM when the heat was on. What really makes me think he's scum though is his weird attack on me at the start of this night. Now MAYBE Geript is just butthurt because people didn't reread his filter in LX but I think he's legitimately trying to disrupt town from being useful. 4 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-18-2013 12:40 PM ET (US) But I have nothing concrete on him.

I'm not really concerned about geript suspecting you because honestly before this conversation I was suspicious of you too. Being in a QT with someone pretty much excuses that though. Can you go into detail about your read on TPS? 36 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:21 AM ET (US) Edit Delete Fair enough. I'll be responding in thread. You wouldn't try to pull this as scum, so at least there's that. I don't think outing me as a Mason is the right move. DrH and Oats have both repeatedly privately threatened me with modkill due to spamming, which is why I have decreased my post count. The thoughts in here if I get shot tonight will corroborate your story that I did in fact mason you. 37 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:40 AM ET (US) It's the right move. If you're town you'll be able to prove it. I just don't think so based on the contents of this QT. And because you're "actively decreasing your post count" that's all I have to go on. Sorry dude. 38 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:44 AM ET (US) Edit Delete TBH it's probably what I'd do if the situations are reversed. I'll never admit to setup speculation in public, but given a flipped mason, there's higher-than-average chance of other masons being scum. But at least, if I should die tonight for some reason, don't let geript walk free. That miserable cunt is laughing at me, VE. Laughing. 39 VisceraEyesPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:55 AM ET (US) You will be avenged. | ||

Granted, Nightmare was a mason-vig, but Mason is a pretty damn strong role. In games with temporary masons, you don't often see them so lopsided, numbers wise :o I hate setup speculation, but yes, this is an entirely reasonable point in the context of speculating about the setup. I can understand VE's reasoning for outing me, especially given that this is the case. I don't really have an answer for this other than that I am a town-aligned mason role, and although it's weird it's not unthinkable, and DrH is a wiley fellow. Okay so lists posts are crap right so I'm gonna keep it short and simple, here are my two scumreads I want to lynch today, and why we should lynch them. I'm leaving wiggles, testsubj, geript wos ryu dp etc unmentioned because they are not my top 2 scumreads and I want to stay focused. Each of them individually has things I dislike about them but barring a something weird happenign with the daypost I won't be pushing them.If that changes and I am still alive, I will let you know. 1) thepeashooter: I've talked a lot about TPS in thread already but mainly I'm concerned about his attempts to _look_ like he's contributing without actually doing it. I'm like 90% sure his "anger" at my spamming is faked given that you had the same filter length as me at the time and his response to it was to just quote a bunch of my posts. He's done a pretty slick job of not contributing to the game and looking like an "emotional townie". Why would he quote all my posts and complain about my filter length when at the time Ve has the same level of spam? (link) this doesn't read "angry town" to me, it reads "fake anger". His weird opt-out of the town discourse D1 (link) is scummy, as well as the fact he had to be forcefully prodded into contributing. I don't buy his theory that he wanted to "let it play out" with GM rather than (link) actively interacting with the case. Imagine you are a townie in this situation. Do you engage and try to get an understanding of what's going on and push your own reads, or even ask questions to refine them? Or do you hang back and "let it play out"? Even if you hang back, you at least ask questions and try to learn more. This is not what town does, this think that TPS has done. A lot of his other posts aren't analysis but are just dismissals (link)(link)(link) in which he doesn't push his own ideas but just naysays what other people have to say. I will be voting for TPS when the daypost goes up based on this. 2) vivax: I know a lot of people like vivax, but I don't. For me, the essence of this scumread comes down to the inconsistency of his own scumreads. As VE has astutely pointed out, Viv sounds weird (link) and inconsistent on his reads (link). Now you may think "BH people change their minds all the time" but that's not what we're talking about here. Vivax doesn't actually remember who he thinks is scum. He claims scum are pushing a wagon, but marks his scumreads as others. What this means is he has an idea (perhaps from his scum QT) of who he should push, and he makes up a rationalization post-hoc. A town player doesn't forget what he thinks-- hwo could he? But scum forgets easily. His analysis is pointing the wrong way, and this isn't a mistake town makes. his thought process isn't town. Although he doesn't have the prepoderance of evidence against him that TPS does, I consider him a highly acceptable lynch candidate. | ||

I'm interested to hear his thoughts on zare and whether he's changed his mind since reading him as scummy earlier in the day (without committing...) I find it unlikely, but not utterly implausible TPS will be able to convince me his town. That being said, I eagerly await his defense that I might better convince you of his scumminess as my spears of pure logic shred his veil of deceit and lies. | ||

Another thing to think about is that keirathi is known for his meta reads so potentially there are one or more scum that keir would have been familiar with. I find it odd that BH would just be left alive as a mason when he could have been sniped easily. But scum could have been dodging medic protection. I would like everyone to look through my viscera eyes case. I think we should lynch him. Unless someone else claims they took a hit, I think we can consider VE "highly likely town" based on night actions. In a normal game like this scum typically has 2 KP, at least at first, and we have exactly 2 KP accounted for, and they make sense as scum kills. Kei was capable town, and VE is a capable scumhunter. Unless I hear something else about what happened overnight, the simplest answer is probably true: scum shot Kei and VE, and a canny medic protected one of our best Vets. | ||

In terms of who OP each QT, the OP of the QT between me and GK was Blazinghand. The OP of the QT between me and VE was Oatsmaster. The OP of the QT between me and zarepath is DrH. The fact that his supremely subpar hosting skills are causing a trip-up in my claim is annoying, but that's just the way it is, and there isn't really anything I can do to be more convincing than telling the truth. | ||

Mainly due to his seeming lack of interest in the lynch, I am now neutral on TPS. accusation that his first post was scummy Setup speculation is tempting and I don't expect people to scumhunt in the first hour of the game. + Show Spoiler + If anything, it makes me think townier of him. Does it seem like a typical scum move to get your role PM, meet up with your scumbuddies in the QT, and immediately spend 20 minutes constructing some half-assed setup speculative post, and introducing yourself to the thread with it? IMO, the answer is no. Also, he did not even preview his first post. I think scum would be nervous about blundering with their first post and make sure to at least give it a preview. I strongly disagree. The half-assed setup speculative post is EXACTLY the kind of post you can make as scum without meeting up with your buddies, without having to worry about giving anything away or accidentally being helpful. On March 19 2013 20:31 sciberbia wrote: accusation of fake anger at spam I don't see sufficient evidence that his anger at your spamming was faked. First of all, it's not like he went on a tirade. He just told you to shut up and consolidate. Secondly, it makes perfect sense that he was mad at you for spamming (as opposed to VE) because he was already pissed at you from your earlier disagreements with him. Thirdly, the sequence of posts he mentions was in fact annoying. Particularly when you and VE spent several posts talking about some other game. He DID go on a tirade, and he admits, publically, that he pressured the hosts to modkill me. If this isn't a tirade I will literally eat my hat IRL. Can VE and I get annoying? Sure, yeah, and sometimes I post a bit too many one-liners, but why no pressure on VE? Why the odd single-minded attack on me? He wasn't attacking "spam", he was attacking "wade fell" and the fact that he unleashed a mountain of quotes when he wanted to make the thread shorter, and he proceeded to not-contribute because he was too busy being "mad", is not something we can simply discount like that. On March 19 2013 20:31 sciberbia wrote: accusations about opting out of town discussion I agree it is a cause for concern that he spent a lot of time talking about Coag when it was pretty obvious that Coag was not a popular lynch target. He could have been using this tunnel as an easy way to appear to be participating as scum. It does bother me that he was content to sit on Coag and for much of D1 even when there is no support at all for a Coag lynch. This is IMO your strongest point against him. accusation concerning his post where he votes GreyMist I agree it is a bit suspicious how he just sheeps onto the GreyMist wagon and doesn't show a lot of interest in the lynch. However, it is also possible that he was genuinely busy, and he was certainly not the only one to show disinterest in the lynch. Look the issue isn't his sheeping onto the greymist wagon. The issue is if he really thought GreYMisT was scum, he'd have been more active with it. This is part of a pattern, a pattern of TPS not really carring about the game. Maybe each piece of evidence on its own wouldn't mean much, but all these things together are indicators that TPS isn't in this for the town, he's in this for scum. He BACKED OFF From the thread as GM picked up steam. Who does that? What is the town motivation for doing that? | ||

But if you're Yamato77 who's never played with coag, then this might be believable. And yet you continue to conceal who you really are from town. Perhaps you have some good reason for this, but I doubt it's a reason other than "I am scum and I have been caught by the sexy, manly, delicious Blazinghand" | ||

The reason I want someone else to do this is because I am without a doubt biased against Wade Fall and I feel as though it needs to be done by someone competent. I accept that Wade is stupid, however I believe he crossed the line from just being stupid to actively lying and overextending his reads on me to sway town to lynch me which is an extremely scummy thing. I noticed he was doing it yesterday but it wasn't as overt. If it wasn't overt that I was trying to lynch you yesterday you need to read the thread better.

He knows for a fact its not fake since I reported him to the host for spamming even after I asked him to shut the fuck up both nicely then directly. You know I was genuinely annoyed yet you are going to pretend you think I wasn't only because it serves a purpose. This is the definition of malicious intent. The fact of the matter is, you reporting me to the host says nothing about the veracity of your anger. Why not report me to the host with your fake madness? Hell, if you get me modkilled you'll look even better, and have the perfect excuse for not contributing D1. "Look how mad I was, I was so mad I got Blazinghand modkilled, that's why I did nothing useful day 1". I find it particularly clever that you, who tried to get me modkilled are accusing me of malicious intent. No, it is your fake madness that led to a huge opt-out of D1 discourse that serves malicious intent, and I will NOT let you get away with it.

You have pretty much done two things, spam and try to kill me but somehow I am the one who has contributed nothing. You give no example apart from you saying it is so. This is my favorite part. His example of me "opting out" of town discourse is a link to him just saying that I did that. At no point did I ever say fuck you for not wanting to lynch Coag and ran away to my cave until the cycle was over. He was one of a couple of people (the other being Coag) who kept pointing out how I abandoned the thread and went inactive even though my most recent posts at the time indicated that I was at work. By "Forceful Prodding" he actually meant "got home from work". You basically DID run away to your cave until the cycle was over. You only weighed in on GK after being pressured on it and you still haven't said anything about DarthPunk AT ALL despite the fact that he was one of the main lynch contendors D1. How do you push GM without even saying SOMETHING about DP? You ran away from the lynch and hid in your cave, and you joke that you didn't but that's literally what you did.

As I stated earlier, there is no reason to push all 5 of your scum candidates at once if you can only kill one at a time. I'd prefer to pressure one and see how the others respond to that pressure. See again you're losing me here because if you wouldn't mind seeing coag dead, you'd be really "pushing" him, but you weren't "already pushing" him you made a vote then failed to follow up or engage directly with our meta claims. If you wanted coag dead why weren't you arguing with people in thread about him? you didn't REALLY want coag dead, or else it would be CLEAR you want coag dead by you fighting to kill him.

As I said earlier I had been at work and got caught up that night and I wasn't exactly sure when the day post was coming. I saw Greymist thrown out as an alternative to Zare and I knew for a fact that I thought greymist was scummy and was pretty sure I had a townread on Zare at the time. So I chose to change my vote to greymist. I didn't have time to actually post a case or do analysis because I was not home. So I admit, both scenario's are possible, but I feel that I have adequately explained my reasoning for not having said anything about greymist until passively voting for him. If you want further evidence of my reasoning for not listing every single read you can find me speaking to Vivax here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=402057¤tpage=39#763 Look how convenient it is that you back away from the thread, that you "want" coag dead but dont' push him, that you're suspicious of GM but don't want to share your thought process with him or the rest of the town, that you only spoke of GK when pressured and you STILL have said nothing about DP.

Doesn't that mean that, by rules, the qt has to be created by the hosts? Or else he could simply open the last two by himself as well. How reliable is it that he's blaming his first qt on the host?

What I find scummy is an attempt to contribute and write big posts that are actually meaningless, or an attempt to look like you're contributing when in fact you are not. I didn't like your low-quality posts on setup speculation (nonvaluable, looks like you're contributing to the untrained eye) and I like your attack on Coag here even less. What's your reason for voting coag? He made some worthless posts, but unlike you, he took no efforts to make the sewage exploding from his mouth look useful. He might be shit, but at least he's honest about it. What you're doing here? This is a policy lynch of Coag. That's literally what this is. You're saying "coag's style doesn't sit well with me, and even though others have told me about his meta, I'm going to disregard that and just lynch him anyways cause i'm bad or scum" Like, you say coag is scummy and worthless based on a lack of interest int he game 24 hours in, and also this is fucking coag. You know this wagon won't work, but here you get to look "principled" and appear to contribute to town without giving reads on the cases that matter. Why no weighing in on Geript and his scummy play (though he's simply an idiot afaik) or GoodKarma, who although he is playing to his town meta from NMMXXIV and not like scum as he was in LVII, is lynchbait since he posts slowly and poeple don't know him? They're absent from your filter. No thoughts on VE's hilarious but ultimately unuseful plan? It's more and more obvious. You're opting out of the town discourse. It would have fooled a lesser town. But this town has me. You die today, thepeashooter. Anyone who thinks otherwise has another thing coming. QT:+ Show Spoiler + 03-17-2013 09:07 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Okay so the hosts are dragging their feet with setting up the Mason QT so I'll drop some stuff in here since I have to step out for a moment. My power works on a per-phase basis and I was hoping to mason you for D2 but the chance you can be lynched is too high, so instead I'm masoning you for D1 so I can work with you while you're still alive. In any case, I currently have two strong scumreads I want to push, besides my tiff with Testsubject and with TPS (which I need to step back from due to emotional issues, at least for today). I suggest we pool our thoughts and reads since you are a pretty good scumhunter when you have someone to bounce ideas off of. Mainly I am concerned with Mr. Wiggles. He is an aggressive scumhunter and a capable asset as town, but his scum play isn't as good, and I'm pretty sure this is scum Wiggles. He didn't seriously follow-up on his attack on you, and only when prodded has he posted in the thread. When he DOES post, he composes his posts quite well-- they look and smell like cases-- but he doesn't back them up and press them the way a town player who really wanted to lynch his target would. For example, he calls up Coag's meta to defend coag, then utterly ignores meta to attack you. I jumped through all kinds of hoops to deflect it and even now he's trying to get a mislynch off on you, despite admitting you're playing to your town meta. The other player that bothers me is Geript, but I think I might be emotionally against him and seeing things I shouldn't-- I'd like you to check my logic here. Geript has been actively opposing attempts of town to organize and scumhunt, but not in a way that relays concerns for town complacency or other dangers of VE's gambit. furthermore, he is focusing his attacks on the most productive and useful townies rather than try to develop cases or even push his main targets. Whenever there's pushback, he changes who he's attacking. Normally I'd be on him like white on rice, but I mislynched him last game and am worried I am misreading him now. I'm going to be rolling out an attack on Wiggles shortly. Do you have any thoughts? lol you're so bad it's kinda cute | ||

Wouldn't you have to take a deliberate effort to omit them? And if we assume it's true that VE became some kind of 3P: we don't know its purpose. When last I checked our objective was to remove all mafia. There are 3P setups where the 3P is benign or has some kind of objective that isn't really anti-town. Like assassins in LVII or some kind of survivor role. For all we know 3P here could also be benign to town. All we could do is speculate... Like what if The Mirror is really The Devil. To win, he needs to "empower" three different individuals. These individuals actually lose their roles, but are never notified. Or some other such thing... It's all speculation. We simply don't know, and quite honestly we shouldn't care right now... We 100% know that mafia have the means to kill us off, and they should be our priority. If we lynch VE today, it should be on the merits of him being possibly mafia rather than 3P. Okay, admittedly mafia is possibly a bigger threat than 3P, and there are benign 3P roles like survivor that don't mechanically inhibit a town win. At this point, though, I don't trust anything VE has to say. He outed me to the thread at a weird time, as has been mentioned. He removed the timestamps from his logs "for readability" and posted them, soft-claiming 3p (which he walked back as people voted him) and he's been making weird noises about me being scum but not seriously pushing me for like over 48 hours. Whatever VE is, he's not playing for the town. | ||

So I don't buy that you didn't notice the logs. And once you notice them, that would immediately create conflict which would quickly lead you to the host announcement that logs are allowed. This is a townie train of thought for someone pursuing their top scum read, it is not the train of thought you displayed. As for your second part, how would any of what you were trying to reveal to the town changed if you had waited until day2 to post about it? DYH has a very solid point here. when someone has a scumread, they push him. And when that scumread starts dumping mason logs, including one you haven't read like GK, and there's a huge kerfuffle in the thread about like who made the QTs, what's in there, etc, you can't just be like "yeah my top scumread has supported his claim but I'm not really paying attention to him" because that makes no sense from the perspective of a town player pushing a scumread | ||

I'm not saying that its scummy because scum have done it or because town haven't. Its just scummy, I happen to mention some scum who I've seen do it lately. We can't just let people martyr. Otherwise scum would do it every time and just get away from lynches. I'm not sure what's wrong with that reasoning. This case doesn't seem to have enough solid reasoning for you to want to kill me. Please give me the rest of your reasoning so I can help you sort through that as well. The idea "I don't want to be helpful because BH is spamming" isn't a coherent defense of your play | ||

I think you're town, but there is a strong current of lynch against you. If you die, it happens, but the most important thing is to use your time alive as best you can. I won't be posting the logs of this QT except with your permission, or to save one of us from a lynch. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=18055501 I like how you're thinking here- I like how you think in general, fearlessly and townie. I've updated my case against TPS, and I'd like to know who your top scumreads are, if TPS is among them and whether you'd be interested in collaborating with me to get him lynched. If we both share our though processes with each other, we can get better reads on each other. Do not claim your role to me. 2 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 03:31 AM ET (US) Edit Delete I'm heading to bed and will be back in thread in ~9-10 hours. 3 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 09:06 AM ET (US) Honestly, you were one of my scum reads until I read all this Messenger stuff, and after reading this QT and before reading the other ones, I thought this was highly suspect -- if you want help lynching your top scum read, why do you pick the townie with the least amount of credibility? Right now I'm going through all the filters to group my reads and present them to the thread, to hopefully get myself some more town cred. Hopefully I'll see something about TPS that makes me agree with you and we can work it out. I'll tell you my reads before I post them up there if you want. 4 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 10:44 AM ET (US) Yeah, I'm just not seeing TPS as scum. He's too assertive and active. There are plenty of other people who look way more suspect, like TestSubject, layabout, Mr. Wiggles, and Trance. 5 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 12:49 PM ET (US) Are you following the thread at all? They're pulling a quote from your logs that makes it look like the first line wasn't written in the Messenger QT. How did that happen? 6 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 05:00 PM ET (US) Edit Delete DrH was being a slow piece of crap and not setting up the QT between me and GK very quickly. He PMed me and told me to set it up myself and send him the link. I did so, but I he didn't reply (and neither did Oats) and GK didn't post in the thread, so I wrote up a post and stepped out. Later, DrH PMed the link to GK and we used the QT I set up. 7 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 05:06 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Also zare you don't seem to get the idea behind this QT. I'm probably one of the best scumhunters on TL. Although if I agree on reads I would appreciate your help, the purpose of this QT is to see what your thought process is like, and to get better insight into what you think. You are not my top town-read, you are just a townread I have that a lot of people think are scum. Since I'm already outed to the thread, it makes the most sense to mason you and try to learn more about your thought process. 8 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 07:17 PM ET (US) Yeah, no problem. I'm down with talking more except you were busy at the same time that I was free, so we couldn't really discuss things. I'm open to talk more later but nwo I have to go do some stuff. Ask me any private Q's you want in the meantime if you want. 9 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 09:34 PM ET (US) Edit Delete On March 20 2013 10:33 Coagulation wrote: the butt hurt in this thread is getting thick. I can hardly walk in it. assholes and elbows deep in butt hurt rofl 10 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 09:36 PM ET (US) Edit Delete so that slip from TPS about coag's alignment imo seals it for me. his last post or so has been more reasonable, but there's no good explanation for that slip other than "TPS is scum and knows coag is town". I'll be continuing to push him. I'm pretty sure I can convince people at this point 11 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 10:16 PM ET (US) Honestly, I think even if you're onto something, nobody will listen to you because it looks like you are tunneling him and you've been fairly abrasive with VE and TPS. I think it would go a long way if you were to list some other people you also thought to be scum, and mentioned why, and then explained why your scum read on TPS is still the best read. 12 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-19-2013 10:17 PM ET (US) I like the case on WoS a lot right now. His slip is pretty similar to TPS's slip, actually. I wonder if there's something there. 13 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 12:52 PM ET (US) Edit Delete looks like TPS has claimed cop with a blue check on WoS, which means we aren't lynching either of them today. VE seems to have claimed 3p so it's highly clear what we shoudl be doing here. 14 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 12:56 PM ET (US) Edit Delete er, vice-versa: WoS has claimed cop with a blue check on TPS so no need to lynch WoS, he'll be shot tonight anyways. TPS probably also. It's only a problem if they live for a few days. 15 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 01:08 PM ET (US) Yeah. So this third party stuff seems really sloppy on VE's end - I mean, why post the logs revealing that you are a traitor? It seems pretty stupid to me. I'm honestly not going to spend much more time worrying about VE until the night actions go crazy tonight. Scum feel no pressure if we just agree to lynch VE. 16 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 01:34 PM ET (US) Edit Delete The best solution imo is to vote for VE and aggressively FoS someone else with a big case. The fact that someone has claimed scum doesn't mean we stop the hunt 17 zarepathPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 01:39 PM ET (US) I guess... honestly I just wish he hadn't switched. Lynching third party players just seem like a waste of a lynch to me. Mafia has 2 KP; we need to get rid of them first, imo. Either way, I think most of town has now moved on to looking at other players, so as long as we're discussing potential scum, I suppose that's okay. 18 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 04:16 PM ET (US) Edit Delete now VE is like straight up making shit up 19 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 04:18 PM ET (US) Edit Delete So I am liking a testsubject lynch for tmr. He's been straight-up lurking to avoid confrontation, and now this OMGUS. I'm going to push him through the night in case I get shot. Is your read on him still null-scum, or have you updated it? 20 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 05:19 PM ET (US) Edit Delete glurio has definitely been actively lurking. He's posting a bit but mostly to sheep the town opinion (especially with the WoS situation). The fact that he's starting to weigh in and take sides now, after the claiming-dust has settled, imo is scummy. That being said, I'm not interested in lynching him at this moment, because my other scumreads are much more sure. Last night you noted a townread on glurio because of his willingness to check metas and defending you, but simply defending you shouldn't be the only basis for a twonread, and meta is pretty easy for scum to fake. Have you updated your read on him given his activity today or is it still the same? 21 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 07:13 PM ET (US) Edit Delete I've gone from feeling sure to feeling iffy on Vivax-- although I initially found him quite scummy, I now agree with what you said last night about him: he puts too much effort into way-too-shitty cases to be anything but a confused townie. Especially that thing "analysing" my timestamps from my logs. if he were scum he'd know there was nothing to find, but if he were town he'd be confused by the timestamps and think I fabricated them if he misread the timezones. Was he wrong and bone-headed? yeah, sure. But the _way_ he was wrong, and his mindset that's revealed, show him to be town. Is your read consistent with that? 22 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 09:16 PM ET (US) Edit Delete I will admit, also, that I feel a small amount of doubt on the VE lynch. Nothing I'd reveal in thread of course, but the point is, VE is at this point unreadable/compromised on everything. I have no idea what he's thinking or doing, or how his logic functions. Nothing he's done has made sense, and these upcoming "megacases" dont' have meaning. We have to flip him at this point if we want to know if anything he's ever said was true. so that doubt is meaningless but still :/ 23 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 09:30 PM ET (US) Edit Delete To clarify, I'm not saying "lynch VE regardless of alignment" but rather that he is surrounded by doubt and non-ransparency. The only way this could come about is that he is scum. The mindset just doesnt match up. 24 BlazinghandPerson was signed in when posted 03-20-2013 11:21 PM ET (US) Edit Delete Hey man this is kind of a critical time, it would be good to have someone to bounce ideas off of, or for you to at least let me know what you're thinking. I still stand by my initial meta read of GK, but he's under a lot of pressure. I don't think he's gonna get lynched, at least, but I have doubts now anyways. bleh | ||

GK tries to take charge of the scum hunt as town. This game he is just hanging out in the background sheeping onto cases again and again blending in and being useless. He's literally aggro as fuck and flings reads around rather than being contemplative and slow when he is scum. I've demonstrated this. You've played with him and you knwo this.

I'm saying that Wade Fell is pushing for my lynch BASED ON the premise that he believes that I'm 3rd Party. This is a fact. I'm saying that Wade isn't interested in anything I say, he just pokes at me occasionally. I'm trying to understand a town motivation for the way he's posting right now, it's not town BH at all. Contrast the way he's treating me with the way he treated geript in LX. When Wade was absolutely certain of geript's guilt, he was still actively encouraging him to post his thoughts. He was pumping him for information, IN SPITE of him being the top lynch candidate. That's because he was town and was looking for information on where to go after geript flipped red. But geript never did end up flipping red... MY point is that he's done nothing like that in this game. He's not interested in hearing what his suspects have to say. He's only interested in getting them lynched. And that difference points to a scum agenda. There's a pretty big difference, VE. Geript was being Geript and was refusing to contribute or write cases, which is why I had to constantly prod him. Chezinu of course was a lost cause so I didn't ask him to write cases. You, on the other hand, acted much more cunningly. You promised "supercases" (link) since you wanted to leave something behind in case you got lynched, the proceeded to claim you were at work and couldn't write them, (link), then said you'd get to them later but now you wanted to push Ace (link), completely ignoring your promise to write cases until after nightfall. You promised "supercases", on Wiggles, Ryu, Me, and DP (note that ace was not on your list, but you dropped everything to push his mislynch) and haven't materalized with anything close to a supercase, and in fact have only mentioned me at all. I'll admit, you suckered me good with your promise of super cases. But that doesn't make me scum-- it just shows your true colours. | ||
