I was thinking on the way home. What if instead of prioritizing the roles we pick according to character, we instead take the best KP role and then claim it in the thread. This will mean that at worst we'll have a 50/50 to hit scum day 1 if someone selects into vanilla since there would be no reason to lie as town. Additionally, we'd have the same advantage as scum would have in their QT. Plus, it would maximize the town roles available.

I'm more than happy to end up as 'effective' VT by taking an anti-scum pick if I get to pick early. I don't really care. I'd love to be some super role with awesome powers. I'm more concerning with learning how to play well than getting to use amazing roles. I have more than enough time for that. I agree that investigative roles are nice, but let's not depend on 'blues' to do our scumhunting for us. We can scumhunt whenever. I just really don't understand why Oats doesn't like the 'block' play at all? Can you explain that oats? Because the 'play to have fun' idea is nice and neat, but winning is always more fun than anything else.

The problem with said mayoral election is that we also have to plan for second options and on top of it some people may disagree and/or just do whatever the fuck they were planning on doing. Like I said before, if people want me to get a "enhanced" vanilla role, I'm cool with that. Me having a gun is likely a very, very bad idea. My best position is as role thief. It's not quite what I'd like to do, but the best move is the best move and the move that should be made.

So if we get say 3-4 townies who are supposed to pick say 1-4 in a specific order, is there any really good counterplan from scum other than trying to get scum in those positions?

As far as I see it, you need to actually block about 5 roles. You really have to start with Thief, Copycat and Role Swapper. Then you have another 2-5 exceptionally pro-scum roles (janitor, vote rigger, hooker, kingmaker). Sidenote on being the King--Newer players please do not use the King's ability to lynch someone if you are given the option; IT was given to you for a reason... DON"T USE IT. It also doesn't prevent scum from grabbing less good, but very acceptable roles like JOAT, Vig, Emperor, Fake Steve. Any sort of KP role is very good for scum.

The problem that I'm having with the current plan is that it even if you prevent the 5 super scum powers really what you're doing is giving them exactly which 'acceptable but not superpowered' roles they can choose freely.

New plan: Instead of having a set 'draft list' in that say people drafting from 1-4 need to choose from a list of ABCD roles. People drafting from 5-8 need to draft from a list of EFGH, etc. etc. This makes it very risky for Scum to draft both outside of their own list and inside of their own list.

Right, if we get people to choose from a list even if mafia go early, they have a problem selecting from a list above them and must instead pick from a list below them. While they'll be able to coordinate things as such, it still makes them pick less powerful roles in general instead of more powerful roles.

I'll be completely honest and say I hate plans like this.

The game is called Pick YOUR Power. Not Let Everyone Else Pick Your Power For You.

For one, I just don't see everyone agreeing, and to me it just ruins the fun of the game type.

Nothing prevents you from picking a completely different power though. That's the awesomeness of it. By having a specific plan of this sort, so long as even 50% of town goes by this sort of plan, then the plan can seriously fuck up scum. You STILL get to pick whatever oddball power that you want, but if a majority agree that it's a good plan it because exceptionally dangerous for scum to both follow and not follow. Why can't you as a strong player decide push this plan and try and get others to follow it? Can't you realize the merit it has? Or do you have an actual objection to the plan other than just "Me no likey?"

Having the top 3-5 have preset picks is both unfun and non-productive. It tells scum who to thieve/swap with. That's why the preset pick list is bad. It's exactly why my plan of pod picks is much, much better. It gives people freedom to choose while still providing strong uncertainty as to what exactly has been happening.

So we disagree.

Well, you're just wrong. Preventing scum from getting the obviously powerful scum roles is exceptionally bad for town. Especially with roles like Janitor. Shit can go bad exceptionally fast in that regard. Roles aren't that important for town. Town will be smart and lynch scum. It's going to happen. Preventing "bad shit" is just as important as being able to do "cool shit."

This is an example of a misguided follow up. @Strongandbig why would you feel the need to call it stupid and not interject a non-worthless/non-stupid discussion for people to follow?

I'm not saying that you haven't done anything not town Mocsta-ish. There's just a very specific heuristic that town Mocsta seems to follow that you haven't hit on yet for me. I'm leaning town on you but until you get that one aspect I have a hard time putting you there fully.

As for your posting, I really like it.

I think he's feeling overloaded or something similar. There's a point when everyone moved towards focusing on him more than focusing on what he was trying to espouse that he seems to have snapped for lack of a better term and switched into some very different mode. His play looks different from NMM39 when he was scum but I'm not sure how much that's worth. He doesn't feel like he's got a filter on him so I'm leaning bad town on him.

Here are the groupings by power that I have:
Important roles for Town to get. These should likely be tried to be drafted by the top 5-10 guys IMO:
CPR Doctor
Hooker
Vote Rigger
Inventor
Roleswapper
Thief
Janitor

This pod can be very useful to town or to prevent scum from getting. I'd take a serious look at these roles in the 5-15 draft range:
Rock star
Jailkeeper
Hero
Vigilante
Assassin
Russia
Admiral Ackbar
Bad Santa
Politician
Emperor
Prince of Darkness
Bloody Cobbler
Showtime

There are the roles that I would consider for 10-24. Lots of random stuff in here:
Witch
Veteran
Role cop
Bulletproof
Methman
NRA member
Day Vigilante
America
Floridian
JOAT
CopyCat
Priest
Framer
Role Breaker
Moderator

Everything else I would only really consider at the bottom of the draft order if you feel it's important to grab a role instead of information.

At the end of the draft order I think that it's more important to actually try and draft from the top of the order to see if specific roles have been taken or not.

eh, I don't value investigation roles very highly. If people want to go for them, I'm not going to prevent it. I think that there are just better options available. As for protection roles, the only one I really like is jailkeeper. If you want to post a better list I would love to see it. As a matter of fact I think it would be good for other people to chime in on general draft strategy as it would give some of the slackers a better idea of what to go for.

I feel like if someone's nuking it makes it pretty obvious for us to be able to lynch them. Just my impression. Many of the roles IMO have the possibility of moving up or down a pod. Just my thoughts.

Sorry missed that question. The more I play the less full 180's seems like 'sure thing scum tells' to me; as a matter of fact, IIRC 90% of the 180's in the last game were done by town. I'd say it's suspicious and worth looking into him more, but there was a quote from the VE/BH mason log that it reminds me of it boiled down to something like "I don't want to push Geript into a corner because the more we do that the likelier he is to look like scum and prevent us from being able to avoid a mislynch. Instead I'd rather try and interact with him on his scumreads etc." I think VE's strategy is a very good one. I think it's suspicious but not to the point that it's a full scum tell for me. I'd much rather try and interact with him in a way to not lose him in case he is town.

As for moving discussion forward, I fully expect players to contribute and am happy with lynching low contributors regardless of the number of actives games they are in. There is no excuse for not contributing period. Once day one starts I think we should feel no remorse for targeting players who continue to lurk. Town should know better than to do nothing.

First off, VE I like what you posted and will look into it further, but there's something very off-putting about it. I can't place a finger on it yet.

@Artanis I think you are reading my first post wrong. You phrase it as:
On April 05 2013 13:05 geript wrote:
Hi, I think you're being townie, but you're not being you-townie, yet I still think you're townie but I'm not sure if you're townie.

Oh and I think you're pretty townie.

It's more of:

As for the last phrase:
On April 05 2013 13:05 geript wrote:
As for your posting, I really like it.

It was a direct response to:
On April 05 2013 13:00 Mocsta wrote:
This is really surprising to me. I thought I have made a good effort to consolidate my posts, and be meaningul?

Which I talked with him behind the scenes during The Game about. It is not how you read it as, "I like what you've posted."

As for the second point regarding investigation/protection roles, I think you're just projecting your values onto mine. I don't value investigation roles highly. In my experience they often come up biting someone in the ass or are used poorly. They also don't foster good town play IMO. I would much rather play for the 'block' and prevent scum from getting KP roles since their inherent KP is low in this game. As for protection roles, there are roles which can make such a huge disadvantage (including Hooker and Ackbar) and there's the added fact that you have to guess right. I'd much rather players counter draft and not use KP in order to extend the game than go for protection roles and hope to guess right as guessing right is much harder in a 20+ person game.

I cannot fully explain why I think Mocsta is town from that post. It is more a gut read one which I trust rather implicitly. If you don't like it then feel free to pressure me just not at the exclusion of other players.

As for the supposed scumslip, I would argue that most 'scum slips' are anything but. More often they are players trying to jump on a player for something that the feel is off. There is nothing wrong in what I said either. It is odd that a player who often puts himself at the forefront (VE) was so quiet in the pregame.

As a sidenote, Mocsta is right. I don't deserve the 'kid gloves' that I received last game. I definitely used it to my advantage last game when I was scum. Since you aren't familiar with my meta, as town I tend to shove myself into the spotlight rather than avoid it.

As to Mocsta's point about me taking a quote from VE from The Game to 'soft defend' a player then attack VE, it's irrelevant. I value many players' opinions about the game. I can spout many points from memory regarding various topics. The fact that VE made the point a good point last game then I pressured VE has no correlation. I am attempting to get the reads I feel capable of making at this point.

Now for rereading...

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:

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.

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.

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.

Scumhunters Assistants Team
Are you new? Do you have weak reads? Are you not confident in your scum reads? Do I ever have the solution for you. Join the Scumhunters Assistants Team.
Requirements:
1. For Days 1 and 2, 8-12 hours prior to each lynch you need to identify 2-3 people who you consider to be vets who you have a town read on. You need to give a few short reasons why you feel they are town. Additionally, you need to analyze who they've been pressuring and post who is your favorite (and second favorite) lynch and why.
2. For Days 1 and 2, you are expected to be sheeping one of your 2-3 vets that you have identified. There's nothing wrong with sheeping; hell, even DrHelvetica admitted to sheeping in the Beta podcast. The expectation is that you fulfill requirement 1 prior to sheeping however.
3. You need to not play to be a hero. Don't fire guns. Don't launch Nukes. Don't play to be a hero until LYLO/MYLO -1. Free reign then and not before. Odds of missing is too great. When you fire, you also need to be taking credit for said shot.
4. You are required to read dead townies filters. While some of it is WIFOM, it is important to read each dead player's filter to know who they suspected throughout the game and why. This is valuable information that will go to waste and can directly help determine who you should be lynching during the endgame if we get there.
5. You are to use your vote wisely. Think before you post and think before you vote. Your vote is your life, be willing to stake your life on it.
6. You still need to try to pressure players as best as you are capable. While you may not be asking the 'right' questions or applying pressure the best, you 'wading into' the thread with others will help other players establish both a read on you and on the people you are interacting with.
7. You need to try and produce at least a half page of filter per cycle. This will help other players get a better read on you. Don't post just to post.

Anyone who is willing to hold themselves (and other members) accountable for said requirements will be pre-accepted. You only need to ##Join SAT

With that, I'll take the lead.

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.

You've completely ignored any points against VE. You continue to try and distract people with this bullshit draft numbers even after people have pointed out that it's both bullshit AND after you admitted that in a previous game scum did exactly what you thought they wouldn't do.

Quite frankly, this is looking exceptionally similar to Vivax in LX where you were smurf hunting.

So you didn't deny a strong scum role since you say it's "good" and you didn't pick a survival role either cause you say you might die.
What is it then? KP? I doubt it's investigative. If it's KP you have no reason to not share your role with town, it can also backfire.

How is scum supposed to know your pick or assume it's strong?

Honestly Keirathi, I don't feel great about Rayn, but I don't want to put too much stock in a meta read from one game especially when I don't know much of anything about Rayn. I could see someone going for a plan that puts them early in the draft order regardless of alignment.

As for S&B I'd like to hear his response, but I like your points about how he seems to find the draft/picking phase important but doesn't actually contribute anything to them at all.

I did look at both games. I actually looked at NMM39 before you even brought him up. It's just that as of right now, I don't want to put too much faith in meta reads as I'm far more likely to look into the wrong things. I'm especially leery of using meta against a newer player as I don't think that meta transfers over games as well with newer players.

And my point wasn't that he was just pushing a plan to get himself high in the draft order. Yes, a townie could do that too. What I don't think a townie would do is specifically say that one plan was undeniably the best plan for town, the immediately flip flop on it and say that its a bad plan now, just because a new plan came up that benefits himself more. He's putting himself above the town as a whole; suddenly and for not much reason. (Which I also contend is completely different from what town rayn just did last game.)

I agree that he's playing different from RED. I could see the failure to follow through on a plan in the role picking segment (once order was released) as being more related to how in general some people started to throw out accusations and head more towards scum hunting. As for dropping the "Geript Pod Plan" I don't have a good answer for that right now. I think it got shut out by various conversations and I want to go back and read that section more.

This feels like an exceptionally odd interaction. Caller he later on takes time to call town for no reason. But Rayn never shows another opinion on MZ even commenting on a change. As a matter of fact the last real opinion I saw on MZ was:

What I find so odd about this interaction is that Rayn apparently continues to think MZ is scum but his post going over MZ's reads don't convey that at all. He doesn't even actually interact with him, put any pressure on him or try and engage MZ's reads. I don't see MZ as being terribly committal on his reads yet Rayn doesn't follow up on that at all. He just seems to be bouncing towards whatever the present case is on as said case comes up. I do find it interesting that Rayn doesn't give an opinion at all on Artanis especially after reading Gonzaw's case.

Geript, can you comment on my case please? I can't see how the stuff brought against rayn is any stronger than what I've posted about Artanis, and it seems you've read my case

I don't wholly buy into the hiding in the setup stuff. It could likely be said of a few people. I even got my idea of draft pods partially from his RNG idea. I think your most damning point in the first part is that he neither tries to push why his ideas are good or better especially when his plan only works for 1-3 roles. It just seems far, far more questionable that he's just trying to throw out an idea without any reasoning behind it and doesn't care to assert himself. But I don't know anything about Artanis so that might be typical for him; it does seem odd that he was so carefree about setup and so hard to try and push me. I could see that as being related to that due to Draft phase being Day -1, Post draft being Day 0 and the extended foreplay really being done.

As for complaining, in my experience complaining players are perhaps slightly more likely to be scum, but I wouldn't put it past 55%-45%. I get that those posts say mostly nothing, but I could see something like this come from busy/disinterested town.

My distinct impression of the Artanis case when he posted it was a few things: First, Is this some sort of Chainsaw? Second, this seems like an odd set of things to be pointing out. Third, initially it feels like a case that came from town not scum (but this is completely a gut read). It does somewhat remind me of things that we'd look for last game as scum, but I have a hard time taking that seriously. I doubt it was ever meant as an actual case; it's either to discredit pressure on Keirathi at the time or discredit me attacking VE or just to appear active. The odder thing about the case IMO is that I actually thought these points + Show Spoiler +

Asking people whether you can sheep them isn't exactly the height of taking responsibility. Antagonizing people that refuse to play along with your plan because they want to approach the game in a different way, single line comments about players you find suspicious then asking other people what they think about them rather than fleshing out your own opinion, all the while focussing on your own plan. I'd rather you reply to the mini case I made though as it contains the stronger points.
were far more scummy than an instance of town heuristic stuff. What feels odd to it about me is that he's willing to wholly drop the 'scummy stuff' that he didn't even really pressure me for just because of how I respond and the fact that I had a case on VE.

The sixth point I think is actually the most damning. That is essentially how I slid through the last game. Granted this point is moot if you're scum.

Overall the case isn't bad, I prefer the Rayn case. I want to get some sleep before I reread everything tomorrow.

Okay, I'm tired of VE being absent. I picked NRA member and was denied. That means that one of Sno, Rayn, Sinani, OO or VE chose it before I got it. I can't be certain that VE chose it but his response here:

Seriously fuck this game.

Lead me to believe that he chose it. Now, there is nothing alignment indicative of VE choosing NRA member, but having proceeded to do nothing to come across as townie in the least made me extra suspicious. NRA member is a role that's exceptionally dangerous in scum hands because it prevents Investigations and Vigilante shots AND kills the offending player. As town, it could be exceptionally good as it can prevent opposing targetted KP (except as I read it the 1 per night scum KP). Considering VE's actions to not try in the slightest, I have to warn you guys about aiming towards him. More importantly, it leads to actively trying to draw investigations and town KP his direction in order to gain faux KP.

When you add VE's general disinterest with this motivation the only conclusion I can come to is him being scum.

I have the exact opposite read on this. Yes, I agree that they killed Gonzaw because he was active and we were forming around him, but I think this implicates VE far more than Artanis.

I first considering VE going for NRA when I reread his filter from this post:

However considering my low thread presence this game, I can understand reservations with this.


Of the top 5, I didn't think that either Rayn or Sno would take NRA member. I can't rule it out but it would seem exceptionally odd. I imagine that OO would take something else. The two who I could realistically see taking it are Sinani and VE. For me, VE confirmed it with this exchange:

He acknowledges that in a sense that I both know his role and that he picked his role out of fear. That leads primarily to VE being the NRA member. Even Gonzaw agreed with me.

For anyone at 1-5 place taking NRA member....it's weird as fuck if they are town. At that stage you wouldn't take NRA member I think. Oh well, geript did, but geript tried to be townie so it makes sense (neither sinani/Sno/VE tried to be townie, and I'd say OO and rayn don't seem to me like they'd take NRA member either if they are town).

Think with your head. You're being stupid Moc. This was not a kill to since Gonzaw from continuing on the Artanis train. I have a strong feeling like Artanis is town, I need to reread the cases and points again and his responses, but this kill has nothing to implicate Artanis.

Right now, I need to reread and reevaluate my reads.

This point is very valid, we don't know the exact timing of the knifing (it was assassin which uses knives), but it's pretty safe to assume that it was relatively recent. So perhaps it doesn't implicate Artanis or VE as much as thought and is just a 'freebie kill.' If that's the case then why not go for the freebie kill on me? Killing me directly implicates VE as a safe lynch and if VE is town, then it's absolutely amazing for scum as they both don't have to waste night KP on him and they remove a great analyst. Perhaps they want to remove the better player. I still think the kill makes it far more likely that VE is scum than Artanis.

No. That's just dumb. We need to be lynching VE. No reason for him to claim if we are going to lynch him. The sheer level of stupidity in this post is beyond me.

@geript why did you choose NRA?

Because I firmly intended to 'hate draft' a role. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go after CPR Doctor, Janitor, Hooker or Vote Rigger. I assumed that at least 2 of those would be picked before me and I didn't trust myself to not use CPR Doctor or Hooker. I felt like I had established my townieness sufficiently so would be an unlikely investigation target from town and am not a person who I expected would be a target of being protected. Thus NRA being a role I initially downgraded seemed far better.

Artanis calling Vivax confirmed town is 100% WIFOM and can be disregarded wholly. I don't mind people looking at him, but he's not at the top of my list to look at.

First off, I don't think there's an Emperor. If there were I imagine that we would be notified of a double noose. He wouldn't select VE due to NRA stuff although he could've selected Artanis. Second, I think that there's a vote rigger in play and likely chosen in the top 4 as the top 2 leading candidates were lynched. So if there is a Vote Rigger, they need to claim now period.


1. Would the town be informed of a double lynch when the Emperor uses his power?
2. Is the vote count Kurumi provided correct in that Caller was given 2 votes?

I'm open to the possibility of a Town Vote Rigger, but scum vote rigger is far, far more likely IMO.

I definitely can see Austin as scum. Look at how many times he defends both VE and Artanis. Off the top of my head this reminds me of his game in IIRC personality 2. I also utilized him a decent amount in my first newbie game here; I don't have a great understanding of his mindset, but I'm not terribly remembering a similar mindset here.

Having played in that game with Sn0_Man as scum, I think you're taking that game entirely out of context. He replaced in D3 when there was heavy focus on 1 town (I forget his name) and 1 scum (MLuneth). There was no NK on N1. He was put into a completely different situation than starting out here. Additionally, he doesn't post much on weekends regardless of alignment. Plus, Austin looks like scum to me.

if there is emprah all they ahve to do is wait till tmrw then claim and do double lynch. since emprah is most likely in the VE vote list, where there is almost certainly mafia and lots of it, this will thin out the list some more. and its easy as hell to filter out any fake claims.

Why do you think there are a lot of mafia in VE voters? I can't see it. Why would scum push a counter wagon on another scum?

Bussing 1 obvious scum to save a non-obvious one isn't bad strategy. I outed VE's role in thread. I also thought Artanis was town (shame on me). Added to his lack of activity, I would absolutely bus VE in that situation too.

gonzaw, thoughts on shelvocke?


I'm null on Shevlocke. I had found some stuff I found a little suspicious of him at first (like his first post I believe), and I guess some stuff others say makes sense about him (like how he pushed VE).
But nothing convinces me for a D1 lynch.

He hasn't been around for much either, which is not good for him, but it isn't good for me to get a better read on him either.

Now I'd like you to return the favor, which is....you know....commenting on the gigantic case I made.
Was waiting on your response, wanted to see if you picked up on something.


I disagree with your ultimate setup discussion conclusion.
  • Artanis repeatedly comments on his RNG plan, but does NOT push it hard. Agree with you there
  • Artanis's RNG plan is, imo, anti-scum. Scum has the advantage of planning out numbers/roles. To the extent that town crafts a pro-town plan, scum still has an advantage in planning out numbers/roles with relation to town's plan. RNG is the single best way to limit scum's pre-game advantage imo. It creates a plan for town, but limits scum's ability to make scummy plans around the town plan.
  • Therefore, the setup talk comes out in favor of town-artanis to me. He is weakly pushing a plan, agree. But I believe that the plan he lightly pushed is pro-town. Given the choice of "lightly pushing a pro-town plan" meaning he's scum and doesn't want to really push it or he's town and just isn't super pushy/involved, I will take the latter. Scum had no need to bring up a fresh plan, nobody has tried to defend him based on this, so for now...I like the setup discussion as town.


We are both wordy, but I don't see the complaints as much and I don't see the need for them to warrant much comment. At the END of your complaint section, I do like you mentioning "cramming all sorts of things into a single post." I have not known scum to do that, tbh, but I can't really fight your conclusion there because I don't have a ledger of all the crammed-together posts and whether they came from scum to town. I know that, when I'm town, I often try to avoid commenting on some things, try to push a few small lines of thought and not get tripped up, but that may be because of my inexperience and it might not be a normal scum thought process. Whatever. Still got nothing pointing me to scumtanis from your case.

The geript case is poopy as I look back over it. It's either just not something I agree with or slightly scummy, but it's friggin pregame and early. You've also noted that you were watching artanis before he made this post. That makes it seem like you may be playing up the geript case as an indicator of scumtanis, because you were already scummy on artanis, and I dislike that. Just...I agree that artanis's geript case is not strong like ox, but I'm still not over to scummy on him (this is running commentary on just your case, if I'm taking each point and seeing how it sways me).

The backing off point is the first thing that I can see in a scummy light. The weaker the case, the easier to back off, but yeah, he's put a lot of effort into this and he backs off with the not liking your posts comment. I've done that myself as town, when I start to realize a scumread is feeling more town, you've looked at these posts as scummy for a while and it's hard to undo that even once you find someone to be townie, but I can also see the scum point of view there. I will agree that it's a half-assed way to back off.

***EVERYONE IGNORING ARTANIS*** This is why I asked you about Shelvocke. You know who's been ignored? Shelvocke. You know who Meapak ALSO commented on, then I commented on and voted, but has had basically NO discussion today about him? Shelvocke. I wanted to see if you picked up on that, because I read your point here and immediately went "Agree that this can indicate scum" and then "Oh right, this also applies to Shelvocke."

Overall, I like the ignoring point and think it CAN point towards scum. The backing off point is fine, and I think it CAN point to scum. Some of the points I'm meh on, and the RNG setup discussion in the beginning is something I find townie.



If I just filter Artanis away from your specific points, I see a couple things:

His aggression is all confined to like...an hour and a half of activity following his geript case/vote/post. He's gone for 11 hours or whatever, comes back, first thing he does is apparently re-read Geript, what has happened in relation to Geript in the meantime, and respond that he is reconsidering. I actually REALLY like that response. If Artanis is scum I don't see reason for the return to thread to be anything other than pushing a little more, creating a little more chaos, something, rather than just dropping your read. We're not even in the voting phase yet, there's no REAL reason to be changing your reads around if mafia, you're still just sort of dicking around, chatting in scum QT, whatever, and reading through your scumread's response to your stuff, changing your mind, and having that be the FIRST thing you do on return to the thread feels town to me. Thoughts on that?


There is my response. I don't want to lynch Artanis. I DO want to chat a little more about Shelvocke, especially with regard to the lack of commentary/votes/whatnot on him and your finding that scummy about Artanis.

Anyone see any similarities here? austinmcc is more than willing to defend a scum buddy by going on offense. I don't think he would've attacked me considering how my thread sentiment had me painted as confirmed town.

It is not terribly important whether this is similar to the yamato/kurumi shot in Personality 2. This is a different game, and I don't think either of you can go from proving your point as to whether it's similar --> scumhunting effectively in this game.

So please, drop it.

You are liking your role as 'thread police' slightly too much.
have less fun please.

Lynch VE?
I like to have fun.

In all honesty, I'm considering VE. I still believe shelvocke to be mafia, and I like that lynch a lot. Much of the case on VE is that he hasn't been doing anything, which is NOT something that I expect from mafia-VE, honestly. However, it's not something that I expect from town-VE, especially if geript is telling the truth and SOMEONE up at the top is an NRA member (I agree with the sentiment that if someone at the top took that role, it's likely VE OR shelvocke (again, shelvocke is pretty clearly a smurf and people seem to be overlooking that)).

Any reason in particular why I should lynch VE over shelvocke?

This post looks to me exactly like: I want to try and get a Shelvocke mislynch, but to not out myself as I feel VE is dead regardless I don't want to close the door on me being able to vote for him to not look scummy. It essentially says "Well if we can believe geript then VE likely took NRA and that makes him scum OR Shelvocke who drafted 16th took it and Shelvocke is a smurf so he should be given more attention."

I think we have some strong information to shoot off of and some people who are acting exceptionally odd/scummy. I'm fine with either a Vivax or Sn0 shot. Of the two, I'd much prefer a Sn0 shot as we'd likely have to lynch him sometime anyways. Other than that, not so much.

Seriously fuck this game.

Lead me to believe that he chose it. Now, there is nothing alignment indicative of VE choosing NRA member, but having proceeded to do nothing to come across as townie in the least made me extra suspicious. NRA member is a role that's exceptionally dangerous in scum hands because it prevents Investigations and Vigilante shots AND kills the offending player. As town, it could be exceptionally good as it can prevent opposing targetted KP (except as I read it the 1 per night scum KP). Considering VE's actions to not try in the slightest, I have to warn you guys about aiming towards him. More importantly, it leads to actively trying to draw investigations and town KP his direction in order to gain faux KP.

When you add VE's general disinterest with this motivation the only conclusion I can come to is him being scum.

One of these people is the NRA, assuming geript's claim is true. Let's look at who wants to pick NRA.

a) Mafia who wants to avoid townies going after him

b) Townies who thinks mafia is going to go after him.

I'll be perfectly honest here, I thought about picking NRA. The reason being I'm shot night 1 very often when I'm town. It's as simple as that, it's the best self-protective role in the game. Now the reason (aside from my position in the draft) I actually did not decide to go for the role was that I wasn't going to be posting the amount or content required to clearly paint myself town. It would actually be an anti-town role if I took it, because of the possibility that someone unsure of my alignment would decide to check me or something.

So, we can safely assume that the person who has the NRA role either thinks he's doing a splendid job of looking so townie that mafia wants to shoot him and town does not want to do anything to him, or he's scum.

My problem is that none of these top 5 players look like they're putting in the effort to be a town-sided NRA, so I am almost certain that whoever picked the NRA role must be scum.




Assassin is another role I really wanted, but meh. Here's the thing, whoever holds the assassin role is almost certainly scum. The reason for this is that if I had the role I would DEFINITELY shoot on day 1. Worst case scenario is that I shoot a townie who doesn't die and gets mod-confirmed town, it also looks great for me since mafia assassin would almost certainly never pull that powerplay.

so yeah, shooting day 1 worst case = 1 confirmed townie and a very likely townie in the assassin. Lose power
best case scenario = kill scum

So why not? Because our assassin (assuming someone took the role) is scum.

billmurray - either 8 or didn't send
Yamato77 - not sent, tried 11


VE doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would allow his team to put in all of the same # nor would recommend it. Having better roles is obviously good. I'm betting that Artanis was the lowest bid on the scum team at or around 11. I also think that scum spread their first numbers out to maximize higher picks. This gives us a scum suspect list of: Sno_Man, Obvious One, Raynpelikoneet, Sinani206, strongandbig, Caller, Restraining Order Meatpak_Ziphh, Austin MCC, Shelvocke, Deconduo, Vivax.

I'm going to bet that there are exactly two scum in in the 6-8 range: Sinani206, Restraining Order Meatpak_Ziphh, Austin MCC, Shelvocke, Deconduo, Vivax. I think Austinmcc and Deconduo are the two standouts here in my mind. Meatpak_Ziphh I need to look at again.

I'm also going to be that there are exactly two scum in the 1-5 range: Sno_Man, Obvious One, Raynpelikoneet, strongandbig, Caller. This group is a little harder to guess despite being smaller.

There is an outside possibility that Bill Murray and Yamato are scum but I feel it's unlikely.

Eh its actually quite good cost I get to know the flips and Mafia doesn't. I planned to use it to fuck with them and see if I could get them to slip. However seeing as mocsta might have been dumb enough to shot me I figured claiming now is more important.

Ok town. First off. People need to stop fucking firing shit. We can safely assume that at least 3 town died last night. Also, Deconduo if you were town, then you're fucking retarded for using Janitor; I'm going to consider you scum until proven otherwise however. Even if we assume that 3 scum are dead right now, we want to be able to gather as much information as possible upcoming. As I can tell, since we know janitor was used last night, we want to go ahead and lynch M_Z. There's literally no townie reason for firing when he did whatsoever. He could've waited 24 hours. Done anything, he should absolutely be on the chopping block. As Austin has a nuke his way, I would like Sn0 or another lurker in the last slot. I won't likely be able to read again. I'm also very fine with putting RO in the second slot as Palmer IIRC called him scum.

Overall, I'll try to make a bigger case on Sn0 tomorrow, but he looks like the best option to lynch right now. His filter is worthless and clearly isn't following along in the game almost whatsoever. He's finally become active once everyone starts to look at him which is slightly suspicious to me.

You are going to have to explain this. My only thoughts of him as scum were based on commentary on him from the beta cast how he is not egocentric and does his shit regardless of what other people want. Plus his thread disruption; no hard evidence.

No claimed attack on him makes him likely a NK. That makes him town. As for emperor, his refusal to regard me as leading to VE's death is a minor hint that he was emperor. Plus this quote:

Why don't you just flat out say you're justice vig one way or another. That way we can actually evaluate or claim or just lynch you. Right now, I'm considering everything you say as a BM... not bill murray a bowel movement. So either start sharing your thought processes with class or I'm going to lead a lynch on you because you're nothing but disruptive.

I'll give you a reason why not: lynches are towns power. The more lynches town has, the better chance at victory. Night is scum's power. The longer the game goes the more inevitable it is in scum favour.

You are so scummy geript

It's obvious that no one is putting in the work to town hunt. There's no agreed policy lynches. There's also no flip for whoever dies at lynch. No reason to deny town more information. A second lynch looks almost assured to be a mislynch at this point no reason to shoot ourselves in the foot any further.

What? Why does this make sense?

Anyway I agree with the way the claim is proceeding, vivax you should go ahead and claim.

Also someone should keep track of the claims we have bad so far, for example I think oats was earlier on the list but I'm not sure what he claimed.

SnB isn't scum because scum clearly spread their numbers out. Caller had to be on the same number. Vivax should be on the 'carpet bombing list.'

Nope. This is not the question. Knock it off.

If you want to build a case on sn0, go do it. Co-opt my case. Whatever. But, despite him being a big scumread of mine yesterday, I'm pretty much convinced he's town today. You can assume that some sort of terrible nasty plan is in motion here, but I'm pretty damn paranoid and I have reason to believe that there is, in fact, NOT some sort of terrible nasty plan in motion as regards sn0_man.

Sorry, look elsewhere.

You think I'm scumthen? If not then you should've told him to quit being dumb townie first then as I'm obv town

If we trust Kei and Austin as well as the BM justice vig claim then the best lynches are:
RO/MZ
Mocsta
Vivax

I see no reason to trust the investigations b/c of the GF addon flip. So I would add:
Sn0
Sinani

Lol. Vivax totes scum.

Town Vivax = crazy, invested, doesn't care how he posts, doesn't give up random stupid ideas lightly and has lots of random stupid ideas
Scum Vivax = semi sane, lazy, drops crazy ideas, tries to look normal

Vivax not reading = lazy
Vivax proposing different lynch # picks to look active and drops it when blasted about it = scum
Vivax not showboating about being right on lynch # pick idea = scum
Vivax trying to make sense = scum

Sn0 calling Vivax worst mislynch ever = protecting scum buddy

GG town. Sheep Geript ftw

I'm going to save you some time and quote some stuff from my filter that you guys should've read to realize why my claim would/could only come from town perspective.

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:

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? Like, I appreciate the vote of confidence and everything, but I get the heebiejeebies when people hard defend me like they're already CERTAIN I'm town. :/

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


I was tunneled on VE WAAAAAY before it was cool. I even tried to figure out a way to get VE to explain himself in case he happened to be town and I was tunneled on him for no reason. I also wanted to make a post in case I got shot early for whatever weird reason telling you guys where to look. I even asked VE about his role directly before the Artanis case came out IIRC. Really if you look at the 3rd and 4th page of my filter you see that I was pretty well set on getting an explanation from VE in the least. Sure the 'timing' of the role bust may seem convenient to you, but it should be blatantly obvious that I'm town by this point (even if I am being mostly lazy right now). How you guys can't see that my town meta is me being a bull in a china shop and my scum meta is the complete opposite is completely beyond me.

The green check isn't the only thing that makes him town.

I argued that he was town hours and hours before the green check was public. Why didn't you fight me about it then?

Why do I need to argue your points? Most vets I've seen have completely misread newbs actions. It's ok Kei, you can win with me once people actually sheep me.

I have information you do not. I will die momentarily, and you'll know I was town and not lying about it.

So knock it off and trust that you are almost certainly wrong here.

You see, I could believe that if your actions were consistent, but they're not at all. You've been treating him as someone you don't need to catherd despite being obviously wrong about me and constantly bringing it up. I've already called you out on this shit and nobody listens. He's scum.

Here are the people that I most suspect about lying about their claim:
Bill Murray -- Nothing major need be said here
Yamato -- OTTOMH I think this claim came after BM's hints towards dreamflower, but I plan on rechecking this when I have time.
Vivax -- Parity cop is a very safe claim to make.
Shelvocke -- Showtime already claimed and confirmed... safe claim
Restraining Order -- Framer seems like an exceptionally odd pick to make from any alignment but it sounds like he thought it worked differently I guess???

Justice Vigi-
You are the Justice Vigilante. You are a compulsive vigilante that only shoots mafia. You must shoot every night that you are alive. However, you must aim carefully! If you attempt to shoot a townie, you will commit seppuku out of your misplaced sense of justice. If you successfully hit a mafia, you get to shoot again the next night. If for some reason your target does not die, your hit is refunded and no suicide occurs.

You have to shoot regardless....

Ok, so removing the obvious town and detective checks. That leaves us with 7 people to shoot into. strong and big was on the same numbers as Caller, so that's a no shot for me.

My recommended shots for Bill Murray then are: Restraining Order, Vivax, Shelvocke, Mocsta or Yamato. I think the first 3 are the best bets are Vivax, Restraining Order and Shelvocke (in that order) as I've had a town read on yamato and mocsta for most of the game.

If I ask you nicely, will you pretty please shoot S&B?

1) I think there's a decent chance that he is scum.

2) If he's not, then your death (mostly) clears 3 people.

3) Your death gives us a ton of information if S&B does happen to be town. If we see your role flip and know for sure that you are JV, then WE know that caller was scum and we'll know better what we're looking for.

This however will give the town actual information. Just remember to call your shot ahead of time.

@Keirathi. If BM isn't lying about Caller being scum, then do you really think that 2 scum both picked 2, 3 or 4 for their first number? We would have seen:
ObviousOne Y,Y (2-4)
Caller X, X (2-4 but not Y and the same number as S&B)
VE 10,10
Artanis 11,11

I really think RO, Vivax or someone else is far more likely.

So, if we want to coordinate night actions:

S&B check Yamato
Vivax check Mocsta
Keirathi check RO
Mocsta check... S&B
BM Shoot Vivax
Sn0 make a KP invention and hand it out to obvious town. We want a stack of KP in case we get to the endgame.

Best plan here:

Vivax check Mocsta
Keirathi check S&B
Mocsta check... RO or Vivax if you want.
BM Shoot Vivax or S&B (pref for Vivax)
Sn0 make a KP invention and hand it out to obvious town. We want a stack of KP in case we get to the endgame.

Look, I've made this point all day 2. People have been treating Sn0 as confirmed town for doing fuck nothing all game. But because he got a "green check" that makes him confirmed town... Fuck that. I caught and outed VE on D0. Before we could even vote. Of course I want to be considered confirmed town for that. Of course I'm pissed that people have denied me that. As Scum is there any serious reason for my D2 play? Has my play fit my town meta? Has my play in any way resembled the last game?

It's obvious that I'm pissed off towny. There's no reason for me not to blend D2 as scum. None. I could likely have made weak cases and got ignored all game. I wish I were NRA agent so anyone dumb enough to check me would get the fate they deserve for stupidity.

Wat about shelvocke?

PS: M_Z is hard confirmed green unless godfather because SnB/M_Z is too many scum (assuming one is BM/Caller) and they both have roles that aren't traitor.

Maybe I'll check Shelvocke instead.

Also, it should be noted that any red check should be lynched tomorrow, no questions asked. If that person ends up not flipping scum, that means that RO is using framing and therefor is scum. Lynch him the next day.


Well, red checks can also mean the checker is scum but that is fine because we know who he is as well.

This game is so nigh-unloseable that I want to invent KP just to speed it up.

KP is the "faster" option. But really, its almost always better to play it safe.

Right now its either 12-1, or 11-2. Assuming scum still has an active KP role to use (which might not be the case), at most 3 people should die tonight. Which gives us 2 more lynches and nights (at least) before LYLO. No need to get hasty, especially when we apparently have so many investigation roles. Every extra KP used at this point just makes us that much more likely to lose because people are impatient.

I don't think a compuslive day-justicevig gun would be a bad invention.

All the more reason to give it to me.

The correct play for town Sinani tomorrow is to vote rig altering exactly one vote but not changing the outcome. It removes the most scummy aspect of vote rigger.

I'm voting for Kei tomorrow because his claim could easily be bogus.

Bleh, I got drafted into helping my mom in the garden today. So I probably wont be around for a few more hours. Some quick comments:

1) Artanis: His recent play feels more townie, and I thought he was a coinflip at best even before gonzaw died. Not sure why Caller (apparently) killed him. I (still) don't like him as a lynch candidate today even if Caller didn't kill him.

2) Caller: I hate everything about his play, but the fact remains that if Caller is Showtime! and used it now, on Artanis or all people, just doesn't make much sense from scum. Possible, but not likely scum IMO.

3) VE: He still hasn't done his classic scum tell that I mentioned, but he's also not done ANYTHING. With geript claiming that NRA was taken already b spot 6, VE is a valid option for having chosen it (Shelvocke too, since he's obviously a smurf of someone who is at least familiar with older games). I'm just not sure about him at all...if he did take NRA as scum, his play would make a lot of sense. Maybe we lynch him.

4) Shelvocke: MZ + austin had good points. I could get behind a Shelvocke lynch.

5) Sinani: Very possibly scum. I pointed out his weird "playing it safe" quote, and also how he described S&B as trying to direct the thread to justify his vote. He then came back to neither answer my questions nor expound on anything else (including his own reads), just to ask gonzaw his role and tell gonzaw to shoot BM. If not lynch today, then tomorrow.

Anyways, be back in a few hours.

If he really thought i overreacted to prplhz why wouldn't he pressure me more? Was the "what's up with the ninja vote" somekinda secret townie answer i gave?

If i was marv and i thought someone overreacted to something and i was already pressuring him, i would definitely keep the pressure on to try to find more clues about their alignment. Here he just completely drops the issue and changes his vote to a policy target (which i do not see serving any purpose in finding mafia).

I read your filter and all you've done is attack 6 people, all of which have been under pressure from others. I read your filter bro. Get some better defense.


The fact is that rayn has brought new things to the table too; his analysis/vote of OO's second post, or Oats' apparent contradiction with the prplhz/Dandel cases - and indeed something came of this.

Being active, suspicious of many people, and aggressively questioning are not what I think of as mafia characteristics.

Besides this i havn't attacked people. I questioned marv and Keirathi. Keirathi told me why i was wrong in prplhz-defending-thingy, i agreed i was wrong and let it go. I questioned marv because i wanted him to do stuff. I agree with his reads/observations when he presented them and it makes me think he is town for now. He still didn't answer my question about the start of the game but because everyone seems to think it's irrelevant it probably is and i'm not going to sidetrack the discussion by screaming about it over and over again.

Try again Cora.


What you'll see is a direct thought process and how rayn's read progresses. He played like this for the entire game: see something he thinks is scummy, questions it, discusses it, and then either votes or moves on to something else. Or even just see something he finds scummy, dissects it, and makes a case. He's trying to figure out the game, and engaging people trying to get comments on his points/comment on their points/doing whatever he can to help town.

Now let's look at this game:

The problem with this is that town has no way of knowing who is lying and who is telling the truth. Scum know who is lying and who is telling the truth. The information we gain is only reliable for mafia at the start of the game.

It gives mafia more opportunities to fakeclaim, bullshit, or tell the truth if it benefits them the most, and make plans that revolve around those things. And you have no way of figuring out which is it. If mafia is wise and plays it right there is no way town is going to win anything from this compared to mafia.

Where I am having trouble following you is:

RO is failing to contribute to anything at all. See his filter. No more need to be said. Good kill on D1/N1.

I still dont follow.

What has there been to contribute?

We have been talking about plans; just because someone disagrees with you, does not make them scum.

I think this is clutching at straws, and is providing preferential treatment. RO duly pointed out others that also did not agree with the plan; yet you seem to be singling him out specifically.

If you want traction: I am going to need more than "failing to contribute".
Otherwise, this looks like a weak attempt to "scum hunt" - which can indeed be construed as scummy.

In short, all I am asking for is: Why are ROs actions specifically scummy, and can not be a townie that shares a different mindset to that of yourself?
To answer: read his filter.. is not an appropriate answer, because I already disagree with you.. you're meant to be trying to convince me...show me what you see


RO is failing to contribute to the plans provided pre-picking phase by " lolololollllll, i sent my numbers, can't change, fu all,, i don't need to do shit.."

Gonzaw would you mind telling me what you think of oats, artanis, sharrant, and decondou? Would like to hear someone else's thoughts.


Yo how about YOU tell me what you think of them?
You can't force the wise man to do your bidding, he forces you to do his, and then enlightens you or punishes you accordingly

I have to agree with yamato on Oats.
Makes little sense for scum Oats to "intentionally disrupt" town like this in the drafting phase for no reason (if he's scum), rather than doing so when it matters to them: The Day phase.
No reason to call him scum right now, wait until the game actually "matters" to state so.


So you 5 guys are you sending the 1-5 draft choices? If so it may be better to claim so you don't clash between each other, and so you can convince other people not to take those as well (I already changed my number).
I guess it's too late though, meh.


I initially had a pretty bad feeling about oats, however he's just been too loud for me to think he's scum at this point. I'm rather suspicious of artanis, I actually wanted an opinion on sharrant because I have him as a complete null, and decondou was a red herring which I threw out on a whim. In hindsight you'd be too smart to go for it as scum anyway

currently I have rayn as probable town since I've learned that the most annoying people tend to be town. That being said, I also really don't think RO is scummy.

Also for the record, I'm not trying to force a wise man to do my bidding, just wanna check in with someone who completely played me before :D

Oats is bad town or scum.
Artanis is .. hmm.. idk..
sharrant almost definitely town.
deconduo, leaning on scum at him.
RO = scum. kill him <3



Etc, etc. This is how his reads "progress" with every single person that he's called scum. He just pulls their name out of thin air. Maybe makes up some justification for it, maybe not. VE/RO/Caller/me/austin/BM/etc etc. He's called ~half of the people in the game scum for little to no reasoning.

And those reads swing extremely wildly. Over half of the people he randomly calls scum are people that conveniently happen to already be under some suspicion/pressure.

And some extremely strange flip-flops. You'll notice up there in the quote spoiler, he was calling Caller scum for most of the game. Then:

Where did this come from? It makes no sense, because I don't see anything major that Caller changed, except he started pushing me. Or maybe that's the sense it makes; he stopped calling Caller scum once Caller started calling one of his "scum reads" scum (aka me).

Which was my point to begin with: his reads just change when they're convenient to change. Not when he has sufficient reasons for changing them. Which is extremely different from everything about how he played in RED.

2) "The Plan":

This point has already been talked about a bit, but I think it deserves a bit more attention.

@All Would everyone be okay if I came up with a set of 5 pods of rolls and the pods to be selected from in specific picks? I'd expect some feedback and editing on them.

I'll be completely honest and say I hate plans like this.

The game is called Pick YOUR Power. Not Let Everyone Else Pick Your Power For You.

For one, I just don't see everyone agreeing, and to me it just ruins the fun of the game type.

Nobody is saying what you should pick. I am suggesting that 5 players get to pick first. Is that a good plan or not and are the players town/mafia in your opinion?

There are like 100 - or something - roles. If you don't get your favourite pick i'm sure you can find something else that suits you.

I was responding to geripts plan to full pod out the game. IE: people in slots 1-4 only pick roles A, B, C, or D. Players in slots 5-6 only pick roles from E, F, G, or H.

That's boring to me.

I'm fine with players being given first picks (in theory) if they are going to use them to deny scum roles. If they're just going to pick whatever they feel like, then I disagree.

I don't think the players who are going to pick first should be limited to X number of roles. They should pick whatever they feel is best for the town. It's beneficial to town to have as many upper slots as possible.

In one PYP i remember mafia!Chezinu picking CPRdoctor as ~#22. FUCKING CPRdoctor @ #22!!! There needs to be some cooperation in the picks, but it can't be too obvious or it's advantageous to mafia.

If someone of us is mafia it doesn't matter, we need to be responsible for our actions regarding our role anyways.


Notice what he says. People in the top picks need to have some kind of cooperation towards denying roles/picking strong roles.

However, once he got his spot in the top 5, what happened to that cooperation? It was non-existent. He didn't even try. Town rayn in RED was cooperative and attempting to help town win all the way until end game, even when it meant he couldn't win himself (he had a dumb alternate win-con that involved killing a bunch of townies). He realized that he couldn't shoot us, or town as a whole would lose. So he sacrificed his own win-con and didn't shoot on the last night.

Which makes me question this:

"This is the only plan I will support!"

"Oh wait, no. I'll support the plan that directly benefits me, even though I just said the other one was super good."

He doesn't even explain why that plan is better than geript's. Just that suddenly, since the new plan gives him a free shot at the top 5, he would rather push that one.

But also notice how in the quote about the cooperation, he says "I don't think the players who are going to pick first should be limited to X number of roles. They should pick whatever they feel is best for the town." Which begs the question: why the fuck did he say that he thought geript's plan was absolutely the best plan, then turn around and say that he thinks that plan is dumb just *ONE* hour later?? I can understand liking a plan, pushing it, then liking another plan better. But he completely flip flops by saying a plan is good, then almost immediately saying "no that plan is bad". It all just reeks of posturing to benefit himself, rather than what he legitimately thinks is the "best".

TL;DR: Strange reads with no progression or reasoning, uncooperative, excessive posturing to attempt to get himself in the top picks. Rayn is scum.

I just don't find your case all the convincing, tbh. I think the strongest point you make is the one about the needless complaining about the thread (and maybe a bit about the geript case), but I don't think that is enough to lynch him on. Most of your other points are just comparing him to other players, which is useless and futile. Artanis is not yamato, or rayn, or Sharrant, or me, or VE, or whoever else you compared him to. He's Artanis, and will play like Artanis, not anyone else.

And about the "fake" aggression, I just flat out disagree with that whole section. I took a look back at British since people were talking about it, and he does that same kind of thing as town. Calls out a post, then antagonizes people for disagreeing with him or not commenting on it. Then moved on or keeps pressuring it, as appropriate.

Overall, I'm not particularly interested in lynching Artanis today.

Hard defense of Artanis.

Hi, Viscera.
I'm pretty much null on your actions, so I want you to help me. Now, the reason I'm null on you is because I know I can't read you. Last game we played I thought I had a slam dunk case on you, and you were town.

Now I might be reaching with this, but I want you to help me talk about Keirathi. See, just a short while ago there was talk about why Keirathi was scum, I think there're some really valid points in there. And I think a few others saw it too, but then suddenly the town was dragged off of this and into a spammy little brawl focused on antogonizing you and painting you as scum. Maybe you're scum, maybe you're not, but the way the thread has turned suggests to me you're not.

This feels more to me like you're getting attacked the same way that caused Marvellosity to explode when he was town in a recent game. So I want you to talk to me about Keirathi, who after being called out has dissapeared after the cases on him, and I just want your opinion on Rayne because frankly I'm not quite sure how to read him.

Do you think this could be mafia Keirathi's team trying to drag the town away from him after he got caught by causing a spammy mess on day 1? Do you think this is more likely town getting in an argument that is not indicative of Keirathi's alignment? And then your opinion on Keirathi himself and Rayne would be great., thank you.


In the pre-game. I think he was actually trying here to do what he claimed was happening with me. I think he was trying to draw attention away from VE and give VE and out by pushing sentiment back towards me.

He's off my scum list after these posts. They look much more like his town games. In his scum games he's more political in his posts. In his two scum games he's had disagreements but always contested things conservatively, compared to his town games like Red where he called bullshit twenty or so times on the first day.

Honestly Keirathi, I don't feel great about Rayn, but I don't want to put too much stock in a meta read from one game especially when I don't know much of anything about Rayn. I could see someone going for a plan that puts them early in the draft order regardless of alignment.

As for S&B I'd like to hear his response, but I like your points about how he seems to find the draft/picking phase important but doesn't actually contribute anything to them at all.

So go look at his filters from past games. Dismissing a meta read because you're too lazy to look at the meta yourself is just...wtfboggle.

And my point wasn't that he was just pushing a plan to get himself high in the draft order. Yes, a townie could do that too. What I don't think a townie would do is specifically say that one plan was undeniably the best plan for town, the immediately flip flop on it and say that its a bad plan now, just because a new plan came up that benefits himself more. He's putting himself above the town as a whole; suddenly and for not much reason. (Which I also contend is completely different from what town rayn just did last game.)

It's not my job to find out why you spew out bullshit reads with no explanation. The onus is on you to explain yourself. But again, that isn't even my point AT ALL. My entire point was that the way you are acquiring those reads is entirely inconsistent with how you acquired reads in Red Team. In Red Team, you saw something you didn't like, and either made a case right there, or you started poking and prodding at the person, questioning them and their motives.

Actually, scum would more likely try to avoid being the #1 picker because that automatically gives you a lot of attention and less chances to fakeclaim later if needed. Also the top guys are gonna get killed anyways early on as they probably have the "best" roles in the game. If they do not die it brings more attention to them.

I already addressed that.

No, trying to get yourself in a top pick isn't scummy, in itself. Rapidly changing your mind to a plan that benefits you more, personally, than town, and then refusing to back up your opinions on cooperating with the other top picks is scummy, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you contribute today, though. Hopefully you can change my mind.

Regarding Artanis I'm going to do some more reading tonight, but he has some posts that I find quite townie. I think they show that he is trying to contribute, as well as a clear thought process in attempting to help the town determine what is best in the draft phase.

So if I'm getting things right we plan on giving strong town reads effectively VT roles, correct? Though the idea of stopping strong scum roles is appealing, there are a myriad of strong roles in the game and I don't think sacrificing strong townreads that can pick early (and therefore are unlikely to be blocked by anyone) VT roles just to stop scum from picking certain roles is good.
1. They'll know exactly what X players before them picked so they can dodge roles that would otherwise make them VT.
2. Strong townreads end up with a public VT role rather than being able to help town beyond their scumhunting.
3. The townVT to scumVT balance will shift heavily in scum's favour
4. If there's scum before the last strong townread assigned to a scumrole, it could easily be sniped anyway.
I think it's best if everyone hides their picks since it'll give scum the least amount of information and prevent them from having safe picks.


Gives critical input on a plan as opposed to negative input, and has his first iteration of a plan: Everyone pick as discretely as possible.

It would create a risk too great for scum to pick that role unless they're going to WIFOM about if the town player would actually do it or not, and it'd give a 50% shot for the town player to actually still get a useful role. It's less certain than the Yamato plan but I think it puts town in a better position. It could have the same net effect yet have a higher chance for town to get more blues.


Again giving critical input and creating a new plan, or at the very least a new iteration in Yamato's plan.

No one's actually addressed this yet, especially Yamato which I find strange as it's an improvement upon his plan. I'd propose we use it for 2 roles at the most though. Past that, it just becomes too unreliable.

I don't like the VT claiming idea. Players that ended up with a VT role are still important to town in one way: Taking hits that would otherwise land on blues. I don't think the info gained on roles is worth this downside. There might be exceptions in certain situations (such as a player high up in the list claiming VT when he tried to pick a scummy role), but as the norm I'd be against it.


Brings up his idea again, stating he believes it's an improvement to the plan, and again is applying critical thinking about the picking strategies that others are proposing. I don't see this as "hiding in set up speculation" I see this as someone applying critical thought as to how the town can start the game off with the most advantageous, and start the mafia off with the least.

He takes criticism on his plan well, says he'll take time to think about it. To me it reads really townie,especially because of a later post where he brings up that the route town was going had no accountability. His posts to me show the thought process of someone trying to min/max the drafting system, and follows a plausible planning process.


As I said earlier, I'll take a further look into him, and read the cases more thoroughly, but to me he reads as at least decently townie.

First impressions:

I saw that Oats is/was under some suspicion (just going from memory, don't recall if it was talked out or not) but Oats is Oats; he's a bit all over the place but I don't see the same intent to shut things down that someone mentioned earlier. He was just as loud and all-over in RED. Null still.

RO seems to want to be more helpful than I remember him being as scum in LX, not feeling what you guys that are suspicious of him are feeling there, either.

Got my eye on Rayn at the moment. His style was spammy but usually constructive (at least in telling us what he was thinking) and I've got none of that after the first couple pages of his filter. Ten one-liners in a row or something, doesn't match up to his standard attacking pattern from RED. The attacks there were thought-out, here they mostly look like casual accusations perhaps fishing for reactions? The only points he has going for him is that he's absolutely confused about what is going on regarding the draft process:

This post felt very airy, it certainly felt to me like a post that was primarily summation. There are some good questions in there, but there's no hard stances. The closest he comes to that is that he says he's got his eye on Rayn, but then never specifically says he was scummy. Points out he doesn't give fit his previous town meta, but then he gives him an out on it anyways saying that he might be fishing for reactions.


I actually noticed something that really has me leaning towards scum on him now. He makes 2 posts specifically stating for people not to spam, and has several posts insulting BM for making small spammy posts with no content. I read this as townie when I first skimmed through his filter, but looking at it again There's something very wrong.

well i guess he doesnt play like me anymore

You say that like it's a bad thing.

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.

He had a plan that would help the mafia, too, in regards to town picking from the mafia role list
It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the mafia have taken from more "town" roles than "mafia" ones
By that token, I don't expect there is a Godfather

So do you know who is mafia or are you saying AustinMCC is a town read of yours?




ALL of those posts were one after another. They're spread out over 4 hours, but it's 11 posts that are almost entirely one liners, some without even any text. Yet he was saying don't spam, make good quality posts. Why wasn't he doing that too?

He's off my scum list after these posts. They look much more like his town games. In his scum games he's more political in his posts. In his two scum games he's had disagreements but always contested things conservatively, compared to his town games like Red where he called bullshit twenty or so times on the first day.

Honestly Keirathi, I don't feel great about Rayn, but I don't want to put too much stock in a meta read from one game especially when I don't know much of anything about Rayn. I could see someone going for a plan that puts them early in the draft order regardless of alignment.

As for S&B I'd like to hear his response, but I like your points about how he seems to find the draft/picking phase important but doesn't actually contribute anything to them at all.

So go look at his filters from past games. Dismissing a meta read because you're too lazy to look at the meta yourself is just...wtfboggle.

And my point wasn't that he was just pushing a plan to get himself high in the draft order. Yes, a townie could do that too. What I don't think a townie would do is specifically say that one plan was undeniably the best plan for town, the immediately flip flop on it and say that its a bad plan now, just because a new plan came up that benefits himself more. He's putting himself above the town as a whole; suddenly and for not much reason. (Which I also contend is completely different from what town rayn just did last game.)

You're right to an extent. I said that I hadn't read your scum meta. But everything about your play has been so glaringly different from the way you JUST played as town. Why? "Because the game is different" isn't an excuse for thinking and behaving completely differently.

This is absolytely the best plan and the only one i'm going to support. We just need to find out what the roles are that we put to 1-4, 5-8, etc.

geript's plan was exactly that: the people in the first 4 slots (aka pod, in this case) would be limited to a certain pod of picks. You said that was unarguably the best plan for town. Then changed your mind and are saying it's a bad plan. That's what I was getting at, here.

Now you are just calling me scum because you think i have not reasoned my reads well enough yet you have had no intention to even find out why my reads are what they are.

It's not my job to find out why you spew out bullshit reads with no explanation. The onus is on you to explain yourself. But again, that isn't even my point AT ALL. My entire point was that the way you are acquiring those reads is entirely inconsistent with how you acquired reads in Red Team. In Red Team, you saw something you didn't like, and either made a case right there, or you started poking and prodding at the person, questioning them and their motives. This game you just drop a name. Why so different?

Again, missed the whole point. You said that the top picks needed to be cooperative with picking powerful roles/denying scum roles. But didn't try to cooperate at all with the top picks once the draft order came out.

- excessive posturing to attempt to get himself in the top picks - rofl, why wouldn't you want to be #1 person picking? How is this alignment indicative at all? Actually, scum would more likely try to avoid being the #1 picker because that automatically gives you a lot of attention and less chances to fakeclaim later if needed. Also the top guys are gonna get killed anyways early on as they probably have the "best" roles in the game. If they do not die it brings more attention to them.

I already addressed that.

No, trying to get yourself in a top pick isn't scummy, in itself. Rapidly changing your mind to a plan that benefits you more, personally, than town, and then refusing to back up your opinions on cooperating with the other top picks is scummy, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you contribute today, though. Hopefully you can change my mind.



##Unvote: Keirathi

Regarding Artanis I'm going to do some more reading tonight, but he has some posts that I find quite townie. I think they show that he is trying to contribute, as well as a clear thought process in attempting to help the town determine what is best in the draft phase.

So if I'm getting things right we plan on giving strong town reads effectively VT roles, correct? Though the idea of stopping strong scum roles is appealing, there are a myriad of strong roles in the game and I don't think sacrificing strong townreads that can pick early (and therefore are unlikely to be blocked by anyone) VT roles just to stop scum from picking certain roles is good.
1. They'll know exactly what X players before them picked so they can dodge roles that would otherwise make them VT.
2. Strong townreads end up with a public VT role rather than being able to help town beyond their scumhunting.
3. The townVT to scumVT balance will shift heavily in scum's favour
4. If there's scum before the last strong townread assigned to a scumrole, it could easily be sniped anyway.
I think it's best if everyone hides their picks since it'll give scum the least amount of information and prevent them from having safe picks.


Gives critical input on a plan as opposed to negative input, and has his first iteration of a plan: Everyone pick as discretely as possible.

If we have people that look suffeciently town, are early in the list and are willing to follow the plan, they could RNG between blocking a role and taking a 'real' role themselves without revealing which one they'd want to pick. It would create a risk too great for scum to pick that role unless they're going to WIFOM about if the town player would actually do it or not, and it'd give a 50% shot for the town player to actually still get a useful role. It's less certain than the Yamato plan but I think it puts town in a better position. It could have the same net effect yet have a higher chance for town to get more blues.


Again giving critical input and creating a new plan, or at the very least a new iteration in Yamato's plan.

No one's actually addressed this yet, especially Yamato which I find strange as it's an improvement upon his plan. I'd propose we use it for 2 roles at the most though. Past that, it just becomes too unreliable.

I don't like the VT claiming idea. Players that ended up with a VT role are still important to town in one way: Taking hits that would otherwise land on blues. I don't think the info gained on roles is worth this downside. There might be exceptions in certain situations (such as a player high up in the list claiming VT when he tried to pick a scummy role), but as the norm I'd be against it.


Brings up his idea again, stating he believes it's an improvement to the plan, and again is applying critical thinking about the picking strategies that others are proposing. I don't see this as "hiding in set up speculation" I see this as someone applying critical thought as to how the town can start the game off with the most advantageous, and start the mafia off with the least.

Will sleep on it.


He takes criticism on his plan well, says he'll take time to think about it. To me it reads really townie,especially because of a later post where he brings up that the route town was going had no accountability. His posts to me show the thought process of someone trying to min/max the drafting system, and follows a plausible planning process.


As I said earlier, I'll take a further look into him, and read the cases more thoroughly, but to me he reads as at least decently townie.


I'm going to post this now, I'll be reading and writing for a (hopefully) larger post, so if anyone else is going to be on for a bit, let's chat about someone, I'll even let you pick who.


hi sharrant
i don't think you are right in interpreting those posts as townie, those are things scum could do as well - both because setup discussion is always fertile ground for scum to grow the rare towncred-flower, and because it was (or at least, it seemed to me) clear that this town was too fractious for a real plan to come together.
that said i like that you are taking this seriously and giving real thought to what you're saying

it seems like you haven't been commenting much on stuff since the end of the setup phase but that may be because you play more like i did when i was a new player, with a lot of full sentences and capitalization and well-thought-out posts

so how about lets talk about a player? I randomly chose obviousone. i wrote up a few sentences about his post about artanis, how about you do the same and then we can both post ours after i finish my next dota game?

It is possible that he was day vigi'd, but that is much much less likely in my opinion.


This was almost immediately after the gonzaw shot. At the time, Mocsta and I (and maybe a few others), were floundering a bit about what role killed gonzaw. In strolls Sharrant being 100% sure it was an assassin kill (and remember, he's been hard defending the actual assassin).

Keep reading a bit after that and see how the rest of the conversation went down. He tried to flip it to make Mocsta scummy, and he seemed to have put an extraordinary amount of thought into gonzaw being Jack before he flipped for a "townie".

billmurray -- (In)Justice Vigilante
Yamato77 -- claimed vanilla (denied Justice Vigilante) ??

From the looks of it, we can expect 9-1 town to scum, that means that we can afford somewhere around 3 mislyches. In this regard, I think we should require that Sinani use the voterigging power today; not to alter the outcome but just to use it up. It's essentially an extra confirmation of townieness.

Numberwise, I think S&B is more likely to be scum as I'm expecting BM to have tried with 8/1 or something.

I don't understand why Keirathi is getting a free pass here. He himself said multiple times IIRC that BM's role would reveal itself regardless and had no need for investigation. There was literally 0 reason to check him. Checking Micsta, Vivax, RO or S&B were his best options clearly. I really wish I had thought more and tossed it at Keirathi instead. Why is he not being looked at whatsoever?

People are reading the wrong filters. I think people should read Caller's filter. Especially the section where he starts attacking Keirathi. It was literally once there was a head of steam going his way that Artanis popped in with his case on me at that point. As a matter of fact, both Bill Murray and Obvious One pop in to make points. Next VE comes in with his case on RO as well. It completely shifted the conversation away from keirathi. It absolutely disrupted the conversation and got people shifted off of it.

I'm going to request that everyone reads pages ~38-50 as it's a huge surge in Scum activity.

I have a very important point to make here:

BM flat out calls me dumb town. Clearly most of us were just skimming, but then after I make my larger case against VE here's what happens:
OO takes a large quote that asks an obvious question. BM makes a random post of no significance but significant length considering he had just dropped like 18 one-liners. Keirathi asks how I know that RO is a mislynch. Those pages are a huge surge in KNOWN SCUM activity. I find it exceptionally odd to to think that there's no reasoning behind it. In The Game Bugs, Kita and BH were great at spamming/attacking away thread sentiment to deflect enough away from them.

Go reread those pages. Plus, this type of thing happened in the last large game WHERE I WAS SCUM!!! If you don't believe me then check it out. Don't you at least find it a little odd that BM on one page flat out calls me "DUMB TOWN" and Keirathi wants me to explain the phrase "RO is a great opportunity for a mislynch." Just go back and read. Look at time stamps. Follow the thread as it's evolving and you can see a huge spike in KNOWN SCUM activity. Why ignore this entirely?

Looking at the order of the votes, I feel safe in thinking that RO isn't scum. Based on timing, Mocsta could be scum but honestly I don't see that considering how heavily he pushed Artanis. Shelvocke tends t vote close to scum which I think is far more likely to be from town.

Also, when you look at the the splayed out votes, you can see a trend. Scum tend to be early voters on the non-scum wagons that are forming and late on the scum wagons that have formed. That leaves Keirathi, Yamato and Vivax in the trend.

One last point I'd like to make Moc. Go back and look at when I started to bus BH in The Game. I did it exactly when two or three players (a few with notable thread presence) noticed he was suspicious; what was my response, make a few weak ass points that I never terribly followed up on significantly. When the vote scramble game with the VE stuff did I revert to my "scum read" on BH or even seriously entertain or offer BH up as a lynch option for me? No, he was a side mention while I was on "totes 3P VE." I don't hard bus from the start.

I also ask you this... how many cases have scum made against scum at this point? Seriously? I don't remember any (although I'm not done with my readthrough). Honestly, I expect much better than this, but if you need to lynch me to realize that I'm right on Keirathi then please do so if you have to.

Ok, then you go read caller's case on Keirathi and see how scum responded. It's around page 38 or so. Then read how scum responded to my case on VE. They kept activity up until the thread shifted to other topics. It's not a coincidence, it's a fact. GO READ. Stop being lazy. If Keir was town, why would they care if he's getting pressured?

It starts here and then once Austin starts grabbing onto the Keirathi as scum idea Artanis drops his case on me on page 43 and Bill Murray gets super active.

When you're posting as scum, it's not about post times at all. When town are going at each other, you let them be, you chime in, you stir the pot. What you don't do is completely try and change the direction of the thread. Instead of looking at post time, just look at their names. If they came up as scum say red, if they're town or alive say green. Then count and look. Read out to page 50 or so. Then ask yourself why they were so active then in steering away from Keirathi. Why did they drop the cases they did when they did? How you treat an active spammy town is different from how you treat an active town that's onto something. In the case of the latter, your goal is to bury it and "out-active" town. Deflect, redirect and bury. That's all those pages are. They're full of nothing but that.

Ok so here's the list of current players
geript -- town
restraining order
shelvocke -- vanilla check
vivax
sinani206 -- green check
yamato77 -- early town read
mocsta -- early town read
Oatmaster

That leaves 3 people I'm willing to lynch. I'll look at RO tomorrow, but for right now Vivax + Oats are the two people who I think have the greatest odds of flipping scum. I'm assuming that right now it's 6-1 double mislynch + NK leaves at 3-1 and MYLO. No double lynch means 6-1, 4-1 then 2-1 if they don't have any extra kp. Double lynch is slightly bad but not god awful. In the least it shortens the time frame.

Seeing as you are having trouble with this Vivax:

You seem to think that means I should assume Y is town. This obviously completely wrong. There is nothing stopping Y being scum and X being town.

One of the major things I remember from the podcast about LX was that Vivax had a very odd argument about people who didn't agree with him were scum. It's an argument that he didn't use as Town in the Game from what I remember. But this summary which is pretty spot on IMO is a return to the "if people don't agree with you then they're likely scum" mentality that Vivax attacked deconduo for.

I'm surprised so many people thought I was scum, given that I would've done the same lurking as town given the size of the game. I would've posted more if I could but I simply got lost in all the traffic; def won't be playing another 30 player game. The only post that really tipped me off was the one ghost accurately called out, I don't think I would've made that as town but mafia IRC said it was a good idea. Given my early bus on VE after his claim I'd think after VE flipped I'd get a bit more credit too.


Characteristics I picked out from Haunted [2010]:
- Makes summaries {conglomerations of players posts} with blanket statements regarding alignment - I used to do this all the time especially in my earliest games
- Feigned/Real inactivity/unavailability - not necessarily a scum tell but a useful scum tool
- Offers to be "helpful" for a period of time - not taking the initiative and doing something useful himself
- Defensive stance - possibly a product of being under suspicion when being replaced in, but in this game was used to misdirect suspicion on lurkers to non-mafia faction

THIS GAME:
Dismissive in D0, not chasing shadows or anything really
Some concept of a plan presented, not really pushed
Not very inquisitive
Giant poop in the thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=18226316
No real back-and-forth happening
Barely here

The OBVIOUS conclusion:

Scum

Spend way more time defending / deflecting than scum hunting, less interactive than his town games. By extension of this, he's missing that edge of sarcasm and incredulity in his voice that is present when he calls people out on their bullshit as town. He doesn't seem interested in getting people to re-factor their reads. Way too defensive to match his town meta in any way.

Added note: his filter is barely 2 pages and we've already been active for four real-time days if I am not fucking up my maths. Both scum game filters were short (less than 3 pages each) and showed him hiding by posting just enough to not be considered a lurker.


Suddenly Artanis is among yamato's scumreads:

Let's lynch Artanis. The fact that the lynch has met resistance and people are arguing about other cases that are "scummier" is a good thing. I love information. OO's analysis of his meta is decent, and coupled with gonzaw's case, I could see Artanus as scum.

As for who to vig, it should obviously be sinani. If you read his filter, he posts opportunistically, and generally has little to say. One post in particular I called out as being especially horrible, the one where he gives his "thoughts" on the lynch candidates and is null on three out of four. I was scum with him in Red Team's Prize, and he's acting similar to that game, here his posting in the thread is quiet and not forceful. His "push" of BM as a vig shot is also terrible, because I actually have him down as likely town.

As for myself, since people seem to think I need to contribute more, meh. I gave the game the start I wanted and I have some decent town reads out of that, so as far as continuing a high level of activity, I don't feel that it's necessary. I'm doing my own scum hunting, and I make myself known throughout the day on where I'm at. If I drop off the face of the planet, feel free to shoot/lynch me, but I'm not going to be hyperactive in these games anymore.



Shortly after OO bussed, yamato adds Artanis to those he would lynch, without fighting for his own choices.


Not only that, there's reasonable soft defenses of multiple scum buddies.

You accuse Vivax of trying to "bandwagon" SnB but you yourself opened your "content" by similarly voting SnB with no reasoning. You accuse Vivax of not reading the thread, but somehow you missed the fact that gonzaw was scheduled for an earth-shattering scum-destroying case at the end of his countdown?

Palmar I'm quite interested in why you think decon is town. That feels kinda like fucking bullshit from you.

I'm not quite sure how we can just lynch 1 guy; if we can find a way, i think it's probably a decent idea. If there's scum + traitor, then it's Sinani and like yamato or shelvocke most likely. I can be scum but not traitor.

I highly doubt there is a traitor honestly. Only 2 people could've picked it (Shelvocke/Yamato); I guess theoretically RO could've. I doubt that though. If anyone did, I'd expect it'd be Yamato. Even then I'd expect that he'd grab Reclusive Traitor as it's something more in his control and gives information if the scum guess fails.

Oatsmaster: I don't think he's trying to find mafia. I'm too lazy to copy posts from the qt, but it's pretty much just MZ (and RO to a lesser extent) giving reasons and making points and asking Oats "town or scum" and oats will reply with a meaningless one-liner. He doesn't make any effort to say anything productive of his own. It's not what I expect from a town player who took a mason role.


Also nobody should be voting for yamato today. The fact that keirathi was killed last night is a strong indication that the last mafia member has to fear a cop check. As someone with a green check already on him, yamato doesn't have any reason to fear a cop.

I'll look into this line of thinking later... must sleep.

You seem like another good candidate for traitor, being vanilla, right?

Why don't you start explaining why you've not been taking part in our yamato discussion when you've apparently been here to show up when Mocsta dropped his vote on you?

I'll bet my left testicle that there isn't a traitor of any kind. If I were either traitor, then how would I know about NRA member being picked ahead of me.

As for why I'm not here, come on people... We need to start thinking with our heads not our scared/paranoid egos. Just because someone isn't active at a point doesn't make them scum. It's what people do with their activity that matters. Thinking I'm scum because I've gone MIA for 12 hours is ridiculous. I have school every day until noon at least.

I've explained a few points why I think Vivax is scum. I'm going to be looking into Mocsta. His current attitude seems to be to find any acceptable lynch and that reads as scummy to me.

Here's the bottom line, Shelvocke and Yamato possibly could be reclusive traitors, but it's highly unlikely. It's just best to assume that there's 1 scum left and that we need to find said person. And no, we're not lynching Yamato + shelvocke today... that's just nonsensical. Vivax is a must lynch; he's done nothing all game.

I want to make a very simple point here:
Mocsta -- 28
Geript -- 18
Oats -- 17
Yamato -- 14
Vivax -- 10
Shelvocke -- 3
Sinani -- 3

The 3 most inactive players have been Vivax, Shelvocke and Sinani. We have a green check on Sinani and Sinani is a known lurker. Shelvocke we have no clue who he is. These are our best lynches IMO.

I also really dislike the idea of lynching into Sinani today. Someone earlier brought up a game where he toughed it out despite the odds; I could to some extent see the possibility of that happening here too. While it does remove the possibility of a useful double lynch tomorrow; it also removes the possibility of him being able to vote rig tomorrow too. I would be very surprised if he got GF + double vote rig as that would be super OP imo. I think it's best to just take the simplest explanation that he's town.

We need to be critically assessing each others arguments and investing into the game. WE ARE GOING TO LYNCH SCUM TODAY PERIOD!!! Everyone needs to treat this as a whole new day 1.

It's not important right now. Focus on working to critically assess; reinforce the good points people have made. Work to create POSITIVE TOWN ATMOSPHERE. We are ending it today by lynching scum. Nothing else matters. Everyone take your head and your dick out of the sand. Reassess. Reread. Post who you think is likely to be town and critically assess those who you think are likely to not be town to find the best lynch. gogogogogogogogogogogogo

When you add in all of their mindsets together, one thing that seems to be the common trend is that among the revealed scum who are more ready to bus (OO/BM), Vivax is mentioned the most and mentioned as a lynch candidate AND the ones who are the least willing to bus (VE/Artanis) Vivax is defended.

Multiple times you've said you liked the case and sheer +1'd it. You gave a minor rehash of the points recently, one which quite frankly missed a main point entirely. You've completely ignored any points against VE. You continue to try and distract people with this bullshit draft numbers even after people have pointed out that it's both bullshit AND after you admitted that in a previous game scum did exactly what you thought they wouldn't do.

Quite frankly, this is looking exceptionally similar to Vivax in LX where you were smurf hunting.

So you didn't deny a strong scum role since you say it's "good" and you didn't pick a survival role either cause you say you might die.
What is it then? KP? I doubt it's investigative. If it's KP you have no reason to not share your role with town, it can also backfire.

One of the major things I remember from the podcast about LX was that Vivax had a very odd argument about people who didn't agree with him were scum. It's an argument that he didn't use as Town in the Game from what I remember. But this summary which is pretty spot on IMO is a return to the "if people don't agree with you then they're likely scum" mentality that Vivax attacked deconduo for.

I'm surprised so many people thought I was scum, given that I would've done the same lurking as town given the size of the game. I would've posted more if I could but I simply got lost in all the traffic; def won't be playing another 30 player game. The only post that really tipped me off was the one ghost accurately called out, I don't think I would've made that as town but mafia IRC said it was a good idea. Given my early bus on VE after his claim I'd think after VE flipped I'd get a bit more credit too.


Characteristics I picked out from Haunted [2010]:
- Makes summaries {conglomerations of players posts} with blanket statements regarding alignment - I used to do this all the time especially in my earliest games
- Feigned/Real inactivity/unavailability - not necessarily a scum tell but a useful scum tool
- Offers to be "helpful" for a period of time - not taking the initiative and doing something useful himself
- Defensive stance - possibly a product of being under suspicion when being replaced in, but in this game was used to misdirect suspicion on lurkers to non-mafia faction

THIS GAME:
Dismissive in D0, not chasing shadows or anything really
Some concept of a plan presented, not really pushed
Not very inquisitive
Giant poop in the thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=18226316
No real back-and-forth happening
Barely here

The OBVIOUS conclusion:

Scum

Spend way more time defending / deflecting than scum hunting, less interactive than his town games. By extension of this, he's missing that edge of sarcasm and incredulity in his voice that is present when he calls people out on their bullshit as town. He doesn't seem interested in getting people to re-factor their reads. Way too defensive to match his town meta in any way.

Added note: his filter is barely 2 pages and we've already been active for four real-time days if I am not fucking up my maths. Both scum game filters were short (less than 3 pages each) and showed him hiding by posting just enough to not be considered a lurker.


Suddenly Artanis is among yamato's scumreads:

Let's lynch Artanis. The fact that the lynch has met resistance and people are arguing about other cases that are "scummier" is a good thing. I love information. OO's analysis of his meta is decent, and coupled with gonzaw's case, I could see Artanus as scum.

As for who to vig, it should obviously be sinani. If you read his filter, he posts opportunistically, and generally has little to say. One post in particular I called out as being especially horrible, the one where he gives his "thoughts" on the lynch candidates and is null on three out of four. I was scum with him in Red Team's Prize, and he's acting similar to that game, here his posting in the thread is quiet and not forceful. His "push" of BM as a vig shot is also terrible, because I actually have him down as likely town.

As for myself, since people seem to think I need to contribute more, meh. I gave the game the start I wanted and I have some decent town reads out of that, so as far as continuing a high level of activity, I don't feel that it's necessary. I'm doing my own scum hunting, and I make myself known throughout the day on where I'm at. If I drop off the face of the planet, feel free to shoot/lynch me, but I'm not going to be hyperactive in these games anymore.



Shortly after OO bussed, yamato adds Artanis to those he would lynch, without fighting for his own choices.


Not only that, there's reasonable soft defenses of multiple scum buddies.

A lot of the points that he came up with, especially the "lol list scum" and the part about explaining why denying isn't a good strategy have nothing to do with Order's alignment and it appears as if he threw them in solely to inflate his post and make it look as if he is doing something.


The point about the denying thing was good. It showed that RO was arguing for a town NOT arguing about how to design role picks, which is not only bad in itself, but is also a way to discourage discussion. As for the lolist, yeah, that maybe wasn't a strong point but I can see VE throwing that in while digging through the filter.[3]
The point about RO apparently mixing scumreads with his 4/5 townreads still applies and has not been addressed by you.

[1]: "I'll make mistakes, but that's totally not scummy because I warned you! And if my opinions turn out to be bullshit, well it wasn't intentional, okay!?!?" This is just scummy and not part of the association, but I cba to repeat this later.

[2]: "I am suspicious of you for not commenting on VE's case" But that's not all he says with it, he AGAIN underlines how great and grand VE's case is.

[3]: So the case was awesome and everything, but points that are clearly just strewn in to inflate its size are merely "not strong". No need for concern guys. That's totally not something that should give a townie a pause while reading it, it's merely "not strong". And we of course can all understand the motivation for putting it in there, right?? Right??

Lay it out for me hunny

I forgot to vote him earlier in the actual voting thread. I think he is really unproductive and before the game started (during picking/drafing phase) he had really bad ideas that couldn't work. He's not doing anything and with the NRA thing on the table it makes him even more scummy because i know at least i am not the NRA guy.

I don't want to lynch Artanis, i don't think he is scummy. He didn't push his idea to the fullest but noone who were giving out ideas didn't do it. It was really obvious no idea was going to work because ~3/4 of the players straight out refused to contribute anything on the ideas.


Giving out your opinion on Artanis after Caller seemingly shot him is pretty useless, and scummy. Will you lynch Caller if Artanis flips green or not?That's what matters.

Nope

VE lynched today.. hes basically unkillable day or night (if NRA.. which as SnB pointed out seems likely based on his playstyle of trying to draw that attention)


That is too speculative at this stage. Use orthodox arguments please. We don't know if he has NRA, we don't know if geript's claim is true, we don't know why he doesn't post much (he's not posting much either in a parallel game).

I don't like how VE is playing but he's not the first guy I'd lynch today I think. RO, Sinani and Sno are my favourite targets.

He might not be the role he is, don't believe true things too easily!
I want to call him scummy so I look like I call him out, but obviously I'd rather lynch townies and have no intention of lynching VE! (yes, this translates to me giving both sinani and sno townreads, deal with it)


On VE's side there's not much, but there's something! Almost a miracle with that little activity....

You accuse Vivax of trying to "bandwagon" SnB but you yourself opened your "content" by similarly voting SnB with no reasoning. You accuse Vivax of not reading the thread, but somehow you missed the fact that gonzaw was scheduled for an earth-shattering scum-destroying case at the end of his countdown?

Palmar I'm quite interested in why you think decon is town. That feels kinda like fucking bullshit from you.

Coincidence? I think not.
Apart from this, VE never mentions Vivax.

Gonzaw, took a look through Artanis filter and his defense to your case, but I don't see stuff striking me as scummy. I thought he was scum in British for his defensive play, and the smaller posts can be explained through the lower motivation in a big game like he explained.[1]

You also mention a thing in your case where Artanis called out geript for giving out a controversial opinion to geript:

I just can't believe Artanis is serious with that accusation. It seems he saw something random from geript and decided to use it against him without even thinking about it, it's the only explanation I can find.


You don't believe he is serious with it, but it does indeed look...controversial from geript to have written that thing. I don't think you can hold that against Artanis for example outside of your belief that he wasn't serious with it.[2]

Or calling his aggressive behaviour fake. I don't see why you arbitrarily call it either aggressive or fake.[3]

I don't know if there's just a lot of confirmation bias in that case, gonzaw, but it didn't convince me, tbh it looks like you added too many extras to it :o[ [4]

[1]: "oh yes I totally looked at Artanis and I'm scumhunting and contributing, believe me. But I think a scum is town because [vague annotations about meta], thanks!" Further problems with this: He notes how he misread him in British as a reason for him to be wary of calling him scum. This is complete BS. Vivax has read me 100% wrong in EVERY game we have played together, apart from maybe LX if you want to nitpick, but ofc we were both scum there. DOES THAT MOTIVATE HIM TO REASSESS HIS READ ON ME IN ANY WAY? HELL NO. This is a textbook example of preferrential treatment. And of course, to top it off, he 'believes' Artanis' stupid excuse for not being active in an instant.

[2]: Highlighting the relevant part again: "I don't think you can hold that against Artanis". Of course not. Who would hold anything against Artanis?!?

[3]: "His agressive behavior isn't fake at all! Actually it's not even agressive at all! Actually it's not even behavior! Actually I'm not even town!"
Eh. You get the gist.

[4]: Case on artanis is, obviously, not convincing. Confirmation bias and such. Sure beans.

Also, Sharrant get your ass in here, take your vote off Keirathi and do something.
Yamato, tell us why you parked your vote on Palmar and did shit all D1. Yes, I know you are "suspicious" of Palmar from that case you wrote, but you've ignored everything about Artanis, Shevlocke, and everything else. This is not helpful and is NOT how you played in early draft phase. Step up
I advise those that have votes on "irrelevant" people with just 1-2 votes take a step back, analyze them and Artanis/Shevlocke/etc again, and then tell us if you will keep parking your vote on that irrelevant guy, try to actually convince us to lynch him, or take a stance on Arty/Shevvy and put your vote on an actual lynch.

RO, do you still think S&B is scum? You parked your vote on him and I don't remember you commenting on him at all afterwards. You haven't commented on Artanis either.

Like half the game is just apathetic towards everything. I wish I could just shoot you :/


Artanis is not the type who should be shot cause he does give a fuck about his image (as opposed to RO, for example). Go for trolls and lurky stuff.

Sno_Man, RO, Sinani, Caller. Not sure about BM but at least activity doesn't seem to be much of a concern lol. Not gonna cry over those if you shoot them.

"Artanis shouldn't be shot. Don't shoot scum. I'd prefer if you shoot trolls and lurkers instead."

Of course he wouldn't shed tears for dead townies. scumslip scumslip ololololololol (writing so much makes me bored, sorry about that)

Did you guys even read which targets gonzaw considered for the shot? It wasn't Artanis, those were Shelvocke and Sno_Man.

RO either doesn't read or uses a WIFOM argument on a wrong base without considering all other options.

This is how gonzaw wanted to use his role initially:

I still don't get what makes Shevlocke scummier than Artanis.....like..did I miss a scumslip or something >_>
I mean, I get how someone can think of him as scum.....but I'm missing how Artanis looks better than him, and I'm missing that "he's definitely scum" way I feel about scum :/

I will say that the more Shevlocke fails to appear and contribute, the more I feel like I could shoot him as well.

I'm torn between sno and shevlocke (although Shevlocke is more of a "yeah he could be scum, but I'm not sure if he should be a lynch (because of stuff explained before); maybe straight up killing him outside of lynch would be better"), leaning on sno.


So if you gotta ride the WIFOM-train, putting it all onto Artanis is scummy as shit. See RO for details.

I want to lynch into RO, Sno, maybe Shelvocke, but need to get to a conclusion first, I found him kinda scummy earlier on. Sinani also looks bad. This is a big game, scum can hide, everyone having their eyes on the most active dudes should think twice about lynching them.

Wifom argument that the gonzaw shot doesn't implicate Artanis at all. You know who said the same thing? Oh yes, Artanis! Hmmm.

Going after Artanis is also scummy as shit, apparantly.

We've seen the rest a hundred times already by now, only now Shelvocke is included. Who Artanis is currently pushing. Who is clearly getting prepared for a full scum-team push on him here. Just FYI.

Mocsta, it's not an association read. That just adds to the case. The post that really set me off was the one where he called you town but not really but town five times in two sentences.

Its association because there is no flip.

The association was, if Geript is scum; it goes someways towards implicating Keirathi as associated scum (you know, the stuff that was taken precedence over the past 2/3 pages, originated by Caller)

But I'm not using it as an association case at all, my main crux of the case was the post I mentioned which has no bearing on Keirathi or Caller or any of that. Look at that post alone and tell me if you see any town motivation in making it.

Geript is a difficult player to work with.
+ Show Spoiler [Geript fallacies] +
His second game on this forum (Mafia LX).. lets just say.. post-game, people decided he needs to be wrapped in cotton-wool.

Geript is not stupid; is aware of this perception; and realises to play it to his strengths.
Geript also has more balls than ppl give him credit for.

The other hard part is: his play is still developing.
He just played scum; so has more insight in how to blend in as scum; and also what he values are being a good townie.

I just wanted to point out here some context for a publicly considered "fragile" player - a reputation I dont think he deserves.


I think there is merit in what you have pointed out, and am paying close attention to his responses.

I also find it curious that when defending Rayn, he likes to point out validity in VE strategy as a basis. Soon he proceeds to call out VE for "working behind the scenes", and then later calls him out again for not scum hunting.


P.S. its sat morning for me, so I will be back in 10-12hrs.

So he's playing to his strengths by saying things that have no town motivation? Please explain to me how that works. Are you saying that like Vivax he rolls scum in 100% of his games regardless of his role PM? If he's so aware of his perception, why does his posting history look so awful?

You've basically said in this post that he's better than people give him credit for, yet his post history reeks of scum. If he's good as you say he is then this should ring even more alarm bells. The point regarding VE you make only compounds that, so that makes me wonder. Why so noncommittal?

This doesn't actually say anything of value either.
Let's go full confirmation bias and say "Are you saying that like Vivax he rolls scum in 100% of his games regardless of his role PM" is an excuse to excuse Vivax' scummy behavior because he apparantly always does that.

Then his read/list post states:

Vivax is Vivax. In all previous games I've played with him he's rolled scum, but sometimes the host accidentally flipped him green. This game I feel like he's playing better than any game he's had before. There's still Vivax moments of trying to be right where everyone else is wrong, but he's being cooperative. I see no reason why he wouldn't stick to his unreadable meta if he rolled scum. Town.

Oh a townread. Because Vivax is supposedly not playing to either meta, and is apparantly 'cooperative'.
What he forgets though, and continues to forget, is Vivax' scum play in LVIII. Which showed a marked absence of the raving moronic town Vivax we all rightfully hate. Guess what? This town Vivax is also not present in this game. But that little piece of meta will go ignored. Better not bring it up, and hope nobody else does.

His posting style in this game is very different from that.

LX as the sole hallmark for Vivax' scumplay.

Solid case bro. Tell me, if you were in a scumteam would you need more than the reasons I underlined to shoot someone? Really?

It's not about NEEDING more. But if there ARE more, a mafiateam would gladly take it. In the end, this is a horrible point.
I understand why you want to argue it, since it goes against you strongly, but that doesn't make it a good one by any stretch. Au contraire.

No, that's dumb because if scum will shoot him 100% of the time for the reasons I stated then any potential extra reasons are completely moot.

Did you read LVIII?


Let's talk about who you want to lynch instead of yourself.
You only defending yourself, it's getting boring.
Why are you not pushing Shelvocke hardcore yet?

I read LX and British Empire II.

So, when I'm obviously implying that he has played like he does this game exactly once before, and it was a scumgame, it would not do to check it and take a stance on that. Of course not.



So yeah Vivax is like, maaaaafia and shit.

Anyone remember this case? I'm going to be honest in saying that I didn't.

For the record here's the low down on what the Holy Hand Grenade did:
Kills a player of an opposing alignment (which also happens to be consistent with Justice Vigilante becoming Injustice Vigilante)
Had an unknown time limit as per PM

Combine an obvious not town BM (he lived and no scum died) and a red check, it makes it very easy to day kill him. If you don't believe me, here's someone you can believe:

Go on

If you are an actual DT of any sort, then odds are you would die tonight regardless. Of those left alive, there's only one person who you could reasonably check and that is RO.
Sinani -- green check
Mocsta -- green check
Geript -- no check but obviously bad player and not scum
Yamato -- green and VT check
RO -- claimed Framer
Oats -- Obviously going to kill a DT if scum
Shelvocke -- VT IIRC and might not kill you

If you have no interest in actively trying to push a lynch, actively scum hunt and be forthright with your reads then it's your fault for getting lynched not ours. You have roughtly 1.5% of the thread by volume; off the top of my head I'm not sure if there's ANY player with less filter AND sinani has been lurking pretty hardcore. If you are town, why don't you have an interest in finding an lynching scum?

Honestly, all you need to do is provide good reads and help us win. Even if you think you are going to get mislynched, then in ~40 hours you will be confirmed town and we will have useful things to read.

Should have given town LESS information if anything

I think telling mafia a few roles, if not all, that didn't end up getting picked would be a decent idea for the next game. Would give them more flexibility in claiming and town claimers wouldn't instantly become semi-confirmed. Yes, mafia could actually pick a medic or DT, but there are so many absolutely ridiculous town roles that they can't actually win if they don't pick actually useful ones.

Definitely not. Mafia already got way more information than town on how some roles worked and how interactions worked. I guess we could've asked more questions. Giving them freely claimable roles early is a bad thing as it's a huge boon

I don't think that the metagame is town-favored in the slightest. I just think that in general, town works harder to try and win the game than scum does. Look what happened when Artanis tried to get unlynched, people started buying what he was saying. If people would put forth more effort in trying to win as scum and trying to be active, then I don't think it would be town-favored at all.

Part of my reasoning for picking NRA was I figured it was a role that VE would strongly consider from either side and that if he took it then it would be highly indicative of his alignment dependent on how he acted. I think a more interesting method for PYP would be to have a list of all potentially available roles and once the draft order is set then figure offer people pods to draft from which are kept secret.
