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? | ||

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. | ||

@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. | ||

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. | ||

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." | ||

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. | ||

@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: On April 05 2013 13:05 geript wrote: Hi, I think you're being townie, but you're not being you-townie. Can you please confirm your 'you townieness'? 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... | ||

1. The townread/lynch stuff + Show Spoiler + On April 06 2013 09:42 VisceraEyes wrote: 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: + Show Spoiler + On April 06 2013 00:56 VisceraEyes wrote: 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. 6. + Show Spoiler + On April 06 2013 11:03 VisceraEyes wrote: Frankly rather than just be hard-defended Bill, I'd like to hear rayn's reasoning for thinking I'm scum.

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 | ||

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. ##Join SAT | ||

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.

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.

I'd rather you reply to the mini case I made though as it contains the stronger points. The sixth point I think is actually the most damning. That is essentially how I slid through the last game.

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.

[/QUOTE] 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 reason for him to claim if we are going to lynch him. The sheer level of stupidity in this post is beyond me. | ||

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. | ||

I like the point on reads more than the point on not following his own advice, especially within a game where everyone is playing as someone else. For starts, you look at the iamperfection/mocsta pushes from oats, but you miss this:Oats still pushing iamp, before you post, in response to iamp finding hiro scummy based on hiro's wanting claims. Specifically, iamp made a case, and oats immediately jumps all over iamp. I dislike that, because he's not actually seeking discussion on those questions, he starts off with the all caps LYNCH IAMP, which makes it feel like the questions don't matter. He just wants to lynch iamp, for...making a case and scumhunting. There's also his posts on ver. Check these out:Ver's entrance is "unimpressive" and he has no posts after. Reads like Oats finds this scummy But now acro finds Ver scummy for the same post, and Oats thinks it's a horrible reason for a vote. Acro responds, and Oats downplays Ver's post. Ver has a whopping one post. And yet Oats still manages to have 3 different thoughts about it. Weird interaction, and weirdly inconsistent. + Show Spoiler + On April 08 2013 04:12 austinmcc wrote: Was waiting on your response, wanted to see if you picked up on something. I disagree with your ultimate setup discussion conclusion.
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. | ||

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 can't be certain that VE chose it but his response here: 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. ##vote VE On April 08 2013 22:40 Palmar wrote: Alright people, I'm going to contribute so you don't think I'm scum. Sn0_man obviousone Raynpelikoneet Sinani206 Visceraeyes 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. On April 09 2013 10:11 Palmar wrote: it was so simple.

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. | ||

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: + Show Spoiler + On April 06 2013 00:56 VisceraEyes wrote: 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. 6. + Show Spoiler + On April 06 2013 11:03 VisceraEyes wrote: Frankly rather than just be hard-defended Bill, I'd like to hear rayn's reasoning for thinking I'm scum.

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. | ||

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.... | ||

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. | ||

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: + Show Spoiler + On April 04 2013 22:49 raynpelikoneet wrote: You seem to be disagreeing with me here. What is wrong in what i said?

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. 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. ##vote raynpelikoneet Weak case on confirmed towny Rayn. On April 08 2013 04:57 Keirathi wrote: @gonzaw: 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. On April 10 2013 17:37 Keirathi wrote: Also, as an aside: Pretty sure Sharrant is scum. Look at these posts: 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. Deflecting away from Artanis. Chainsaw Artanis. But I think this is the kicker: 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". So yea, Sharrant is scum. And with that, I sleeps. G'nite! Look at this. He thinks Sharrant is chainsawing onto OO but qualifies with: On April 10 2013 17:42 Keirathi wrote: EBWOP: 1 last thing.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Get to work. I know that none of the cases are amazing, but that is not an excuse to not put in work. 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. Work to establish your towniness and innocence. HUNT SCUM!!! PLAY TO YOUR WINCON!!! Dicking around won't help us any. No one is immune to this. I played like shit for the past 2 days. 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 | ||

OO -- 0 VE --1 BM -- 0 This shows a mindset to avoid and never bus. OO mentions: Artanis -- 10 VE -- 8 BM -- 8 This shows a mindset to consider bussing VE mentions: Artanis -- 1 OO -- 0 BM -- 1 This shows a strong mindset to avoid other scum and never bus BM mentions: Artanis -- 10 OO -- 7 (plus some OO ones I don't want to try to count) VE -- ~15+ times This shows a strong mindset to not avoid other scum but not bus perceived scum assets | ||

Vivax -- 8 but most in defense of him as a town read Yamato -- 5 and mostly critical Shelvocke -- 5 times and mostly critical OO mentions: Vivax -- 5 mostly wanting to lynch him Yamato -- 4 times mostly positive Shelvocke -- 2 interactions mostly irrelevant Also and odd post: On April 07 2013 16:01 ObviousOne wrote: Gonna read SNB and BM mentions: Vivax -- 5 times Yamato -- 2 times Shelvocke -- 2 times On April 12 2013 16:25 Bill Murray wrote: i just analyzed yesterday's voting, and all I can think about is how town vivax and MZ look after VE mentions: Vivax -- 1 time defending him Yamato -- 0 times Shelvocke --1 time but willing to lynch 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. | ||

I don't think you're a good lynch candidate at all. Can't you see that I'm trying to actively work to get your name off of the pedestal and keep Vivax and Shelvocke on it? I need your help here to do that. | ||

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. Congratulations scum #3. On April 07 2013 08:24 geript wrote: Don't answer him.

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.

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

I will not accept anything short of his cold, dead body. So, in summary BOTH flipped mafia implicate him heavily. For Artanis it's on either side, for VE obviously not really since VE didn't actually post. Summaries of both below, first comes Vivax' part, then the confirmed mafia's side. VE: VE's case is apparantly good, huh. I never knew. [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?? First part we've heard already I think. Second part is a blatant defense of VE. Quelle surprise. Then, for a long time, he simply ignores VE. Once it becomes clear that VE is a very real lynch target and he can do nothing to stop it, time for a tactics switch: Let's soft-push without commiting to it! 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.... Also known as: Where VE pushes a guy that's suspicious of Vivax. Coincidence? I think not. Apart from this, VE never mentions Vivax. Artanis: Easy as shit to do interaction, asking basically for a "yes" and a +1. [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. "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) 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. Watch out Caller, you gonna get nightkilled. There are some more threats to Caller about him killing Artanis, but I'm getting lazy. Artanis' side of things: Looks entirely unremarkable. It is. It's also never seriously considered or followed up on. 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: 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. *insert 2 one-liners repeating his above read I cba to quote* LX as the sole hallmark for Vivax' scumplay. Aren't we forgetting a game? Luckily, dandy dan is here for you. 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. | ||

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.

Now you are going to receive exactly what you requested: A 1-shot compulsive justice vig shot. Have fun with it (you will have an entire cycle to let it tick away in your hand if you want).

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.

On April 18 2013 14:20 syllogism wrote: 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 | ||
