Scum afraid of him being good analyzer, kills his scumread to try and discredit him. It doesn't lead to him getting lynched, so they take him out.
Unless there is a town vig that didn't call their shot, can we assume it was a scum vig?
Alright Yamato, the clock is ticking.
##Vote: Yamato/Smurf
I don't think we should jump to the conclusion that it was definitely a scum vig if there is the possibility it was a town JOAT.

Jack of all trades - a group of one-shot powers like Vig, Mason, DT, whatever Kurmui decided, if one in fact exists. That's the only reason I can think for a town Vig D1 to not claim.

Marv commented to me in irc that that analysis was one of the few ever on TL that actually made him think about how he plays scum. That's pretty clever.
Actually thinking about how that situation applies to me, it's a good bet to hedge that I'll survive to end-game if I don't get lynched D1. Look at my town record:
1st newbie game: lynched d1 as town 2nd newbie game: NK night 4 3rd newbie game: win at endgame 4th normal game: lynched d1 as town (marv was in on that one and later admitted he did it for the lulz) 6th normal game: win at endgame (d2 in this case) 7th normal game: died by 3p N4
A scum Marv would know if I'm town. It's a crazy and unpredictable move unless someone was aware of it and brought it up in the thread. Do you think he's using the same trick twice?

I don't see what makes him the best second target for the day at all. iPod posting so I'm not quoting my reads from a little while ago but we can talk about the points regarding Sinani if you wish.

I read your reasons but....I dunno, they don't really feel like such black-and-white-SLAMDUNK-we-got-scum reasons. Why him over Smurf/marv/s&b? I'm voting for SNB as well with the double lynch Marv has today to get his groove back, definitely Sinani over him. As for smurf, he does deserve a second look because his D1 was mostly spend arguing with people about his town read on prp and retaliating against Cora.
By elimination I came up with the 6 players I felt were on the probably-not-town end of the spectrum. Palmar has since flipped town so I'm down to 5. Marv can go on that list if he isn't going to push harder today. ISH is spending a lot of time on the defensive but he seems to also find Acro suspicious and I agree with that notion.

So those 5 are SnB, Smurf, Sinani, Marv and me? How about you give some reasons for these... or if it's elimination, explain your town reads. Marv is not in there. Oats is. Why do you want town read?. I gave scum reads. We can discuss my read on you if you want. Let's hash out why we each suspect the other. Was my assessment that your read of me boils down to disliking my tone and word choice for the most part accurate? That's how I read your representation of me so lets see if we're on he same page with this.

maybe not town, not sure yet Oatsmaster Palmar InsertSmurfHere Ah, I completely missed this post. That explains why I was confused. I don't see where you say why I'm scum. You say why you disagree with my points for calling you scum. But why does that make ME scum? Or, in fact, a similar thing for SnB. These reads seem to be pretty much pure "you made a case on me, so I think you're scum". The only case that actually contains a reason for someone being scum is Sinani. As for the points: 1) I don't "dislike" your word choice. I explain it pretty well. Why are you bothered with when your read started ("planting the seed") or what target a scum might have lynched if they didn't lynch Nisani ("target of opportunity")? These are things that should not be occupying a townie. I don't have to know you to know that townies should not be worried about that. 2) So what? I still think it's scummy. 3) No. Time expenditure is not a real tell, although scum tends to have a harder time being active. 4) Nothing. You just didn't do it properly. The utter lack of Marv in that list was remarkable. The inclusion of Hapa, one of the greatest opponents of the Nisani lynch was also strange. And your analysis of it was focused on all the wrong things. The purpose of the gigantic post was to discern how the Nisani bandwagon began, not to call everyone who was on it scummy. I spent about 4 hours in the thread talking to myself anyway so it was something to do in the down-time. And now we're all on the same page when it comes to how the bandwagon was formed and we can make conclusions from it. Mine was that the town all share blame for how it went down, but that Nisani's play wasn't doing him any favors either.

And your analysis of it was focused on all the wrong things. Furthermore, looking for people who resisted joining the Nisani bandwagon - i.e. scum would know he would flip town and thus might not be willing to pile on it willingly - and their reasoning for doing so can help us analyze the votes. For instance, how Marv brought up Keirathi close to the end of day. Let's check where his vote was parked before that:
Rayn Me Nisani Kei Nisani
If you have a scum read on Marv then this concept makes sense, Marv distancing himself from a Nisani lynch by bringing up Kei towards the end of the day. This is, by itself not enough information to call Marv scummy, but also reflect on how he's been mostly withholding his reads while still engaging in the thread. It speaks to a certain amount of calculation that I don't think anyone would put past the skill of Marv. Then again it could be coincidental and that's why I'm waiting to see what he's going to push today and how.
As far as "planting the seed", I spoke colloquially and in reference to how it seeded the concept of Rayn being mafia in my mind based on a possible slip during a tired moment. It was a reflection on myself, and not on how I perceived the thread's reaction to it. Instead of storing the idea away, I posted it in the thread.
or what target a scum might have lynched if they didn't lynch Nisani ("target of opportunity")? These are things that should not be occupying a townie. I don't have to know you to know that townies should not be worried about that. Because it's information that can be gleaned and analyzed and I see nothing wrong with considering it?

If I take the SNB claim at face value and corroborate it with his stuff after day post he is town.
Rayn why did you have a TOWN read on SNB during day 1? You said "leaning town" so now I want to hear why you did not find him scummy yesterday. Full disclosure, go.

Okay I will see if it satisfies me while I have my coffee. Thanks.

Rayn why did you have a TOWN read on SNB during day 1? You said "leaning town" so now I want to hear why you did not find him scummy yesterday. Full disclosure, go. I just posted two posts directed to marv where i explain it. :D I only saw one and it was a question of why a mafia SNB would do something. Before when I asked this question about Marv, Kei corroborated a scenario in which a scum Marv would, as mafia, defend townies. He even just admitted as much.
Scum SNB would do that if scum SNB knew I was town. It's an easy as balls case to make and ultimately hinges on my word choice to describe what he perceives to be my "mental state". I'm going to just he blunt here and say that this method is fallible agains me because I do not have my "writing voice" set in stone. If it was judging who I said it against and if those claims we're valid it would be a better post. ( for example, was the concept that I pointed out a possible major scum slip a viable option ). That didn't seem to be discussed.
Mafia can use anything they find to get town lynched. The difference is understanding why and sometimes that doesn't become clear until a flip.
I'm inclined to believe SNB is town for the original claim that he medic protected Hapa.

When I shadoweded VE in Nomination, oats and Mocsta went head to head for 17 pages. They both ende up looking very very town. Mafia would want to head that kind of thing off sometimes. Chaos is not the only kind of misdirection.

@rayn Seriously though I think we're two townies arguing with each other. Your early game struck me as incredibly townie during my re-read. Palmar gave you the green light for it as well (though he later changed his mind) and you are actively discussing things in the thread including accusations against you. I want to talk about new things with you and not re-hash old. Need to get off this couch / iPod but I really don't feel like moving at this moment.
Where are you on Acro right now? He was my third scum read N1 and you can find the reasons in my filter. Later when we started talking about it he disappeared and I felt that I remained on the right track with him.
