Most of my games have been not at TL as I've only played 4 games here; 11 were on two other sites. I have a townread on Mocsta and Yamato. I think it's a weak case, but one based in having no familiarity with me and more likely to come from town.

I agree with yam = town.

I didnt read the full "red team prize" where he smurfed. But I had him pegged as both town and scum within the first 12hours of the cycle.

I would like to see some more activity from him, but, perhaps hes just waiting for roles to be released.

Im heading out again. See ya later.

Mocsta wasn't even close to being in danger, and the town motivation for calling someone town, then suspicious, then town eludes me.


What I find curious about the above, is when we start discussing Geript and you comment the below:

town are more likely to flip flop than mafia

u do realise artanis based his scum read of geript upon the flip flop reads u associate with being more likely from town...right¿

the irony being that artanis flipflopped his read of me.
Using artanisxp heuristic for geript. Artanis is scum

this looks like your town meta from LX
what do you have in terms of townreads? What do you think of Artanis's case on you?

What.... Expound.

Geript in lx as town was terribad. Everyone thought he was scum

what are u actually saying here.

So you are admiting to negligence - in relation to the Geript meta read.

Hence, why bother to comment.

Let me remind you.

I think there are many low post count / low contribution count players in the game.

VE -as you presented- is one of them. I am keen to read his response.
I think any further commentary is simply, conjecture.


P.S. I am still waiting for Vivax to reply to my second follow up.

I didnt avoid it in a hidden way.

Why do I need to say I like it or not; and potentially influence the raw opinion of VE?

I think the case has enough merit, that it requires an unhindered response.

Ppl have a habit of commenting on cases (that are not directed to them); and affect the outcome of the case. That is bad play; so you were right to expect better from me... That better was to not comment.

I still don't like your posts pre-VE case Geript, but your case on VE and the constructive way you replied to my post makes me willing to reconsider my read. I'm curious to read VE's reply to it.

No, I don't flip-flop on your alignment as all. I'm very specific in what my conclusion is and my thought process towards it is explained. I could've just posted that I thought you looked town now, and you'd ask me "why?" and then I'd say the same thing. I just saved us two posts of meaningless banter.


Further, I shall ask the same question I asked Geript.

I figured out why I don't like the case on RestrainingOrder at all. In The Game, I got to watch both Bugs and Kita push absolute bullshit towards town's direct. It was well crafted bullshit, but bullshit none the less. VE's case is an exact example of this type of thing for a few reasons:
1. The townread/lynch stuff + Show Spoiler +

So RO wants to lynch inside [Caller, Palmar, Decon, VE, Kierathi, Artanis, austin, OO, Vivax, sn0] before D1 starts. That's cool I guess, but some of those names sound familiar. Where have I seen those names before?
...
Oh that's right. In that OTHER post where he made a list and said "4/5 are townies", he wants to lynch 3/5 of them.

This is the exact type of thing that we as scum would jump on. Any little thing that we could catch where town fucked up, changed reads, etc. It's perfect to attack because it seems so simple and plausible. Town in general are not going to be filtering themselves constantly to see their positions, know where they stood on exact people, etc. Whereas as scum, we were quite often referencing ourselves to see what stances were plausible for us to take. I can't wholly ignore the possibility that RO may just be lazy scum, hell he lurked most of LX until his teammate shot him. However, it's stupid to think that this early on that scum would make a slip this big. It's far more likely to be bad/stupid town. This isn't particularly scummy.

2. Posting a list of who picked what is non-alignment indicative. While one could argue that it's an easy way to appear to be contributing while doing nothing, it's ridiculous to say that he's scum because of it.

3. RO is a great opportunity for a mislynch. If you read the thread up to this point, VE isn't the first and likely won't be the last to suspect RO. IIRC Rayn, Gonzaw and someone else already expressed thoughts that they were suspicious of RO. He hasn't shown a great deal of activity. His posts haven't established him either way. This is an easy lynch to push just like the Greymist lynch was an easy one to push.

4. More on this later.

5. Look at this post:

I just woke up and I have a fucking crazy idea.

What if everyone who picks KP roles promises not to use them? I was looking at the role list and it seems that scum KP is fixed at 1? So it seems like scum will be focusing on trying to increase their KP (in a game this size).

What if we all just don't use KP roles and lynch the fucking piss out of anyone who does? I mean obviously scum aren't going to claim if/when they do, but if we can get townies into the KP roles this would be a really good way to try and limit mafia KP.

Does this post actually tell you anything? No. A few people had even espoused this point. The important thing to look at in this post is how many question marks there are. In my experience, VE is far more decisive. This looks like he's trying to blandly +1 but do so in such a minor way to both allow KP roles to use it (and lynch them for it) as well not dissuade anyone from actually firing.

Frankly rather than just be hard-defended Bill, I'd like to hear rayn's reasoning for thinking I'm scum. You know...so I can maybe get a read on rayn?

How ARE you certain I'm town by the way?

This is an exceptionally soft push towards BM. Blazinghand pulled the exact same bullshit on "knowing" GoodKarma was town based on "meta" in The Game. Pulling that type of shit is suspicious at least. Artanis has been calling me out for similar things regarding Mocsta. VE decides to apply no pressure to BM at all and instead wants to pressure Rayn for thinking that VE's scum. What did VE do to SloOsh and Mocsta in Nomination Mafia? Flip their cases on him against them in order to either win them to his side and get them lynched. Same shit, new game.

VE is SCUM

This post is essentially correct and I agree with it.

@Mocsta:

BM is scum. he adds nothing at all with his posts which (surprisingly enough) is actually very uncharacteristic for him if he's town.

Just based on content alone he's really not doing much except giving out a townread on VE based on meta for whatever reason.

In order to see whether there was a difference or not, I went to BC's arkham city, an old game but one with mechanics to deal with and BM playing town, and his posting there couldn't be more different from what he's doing here, or well... it could, but then it wouldn't be BM anymore.
