So just read through the thread. A quick question:

Hapa, what is it about his posts that makes you think that WaveofCheesecake is town?

I believe you answered your other question, but this one is relevant. I have not been satisfied with the present cases presented, and feel that a new line of questioning is needed to find scum. Really not that hard to understand tbh... As for number of questions, I only start with one. Shoot off like ten and you're 1) not going to get them all answered, and 2) going to likely derail the thread as it goes in ten different directions.


The disappointing aspect of the game is that we have a bunch of people waiting for better scumhunters to "carry" them. And yet, their lack of participation makes it that much harder to find scum (like half the people in the game, so they can't all be scum...).

The latest example:

Like WTF?

My favorite way to find scum is by process of elimination, so I'm going to start by trying to sort through this mess of people. And if you were wondering about Wave, my question to Hapa was working towards this goal.

My prior was post presented after VE presents rather valid points on both shotgun and DP/Palmar...

For DP/Palmar, definitely subpar play. Sadly, they are one of several people who have done next to nothing...

As for Hapa: I really didn't understand his townread on Wave (hence why I asked). His explanation wasn't very strong either. I know that Hapa's a strong town player, and find it hard to believe the guy would do something like this so haphazardly. The recent mislynch of Ace in my mind though reminds me that good players do dumb things. So this is a poor reason to suspect Hapa as scum. But there's more to it than that.:

But there's Scum Motivation too for this action. As scum, Hapa has Wave "buddied" to sway the vote. Wave already extended out to Hapa saying he was going to buddy him, so why not take advantage of this as scum? I know he's aware of what motivates buddying, as I recall him using buddying as a casepoint before in a past game. I'm looking forward to Hapa's defense.

But whatever, you're right I'm tunneled in after specifically trying to look at other people. Let's instead lynch Palmar/DP...because they're scum, but more importantly, I thoroughly enjoy making them angry.

I mean I get they haven't been useful, but what specific scum-motivated actions have they done? I don't see that in your case. Only scummy actions they could be doing as either alignment.

That's terrrrrrible. Like of all the reasons you could have came up with from the last 10 pages of spam, that's what you come up with?

The logic in this post:
1) I have a town-read you don't understand
2) ...BUT that's a "poor reason" to ssuepct me
3) HOWEVER there's the POSSIBILITY that I buddied Wave.
4) Therefore... I'm suspicious?

What on earth? I mean what's there even to defend. You called one of your own reasons for finding me suspicious bad, then you say I "buddied" someone. That's a statement, and not analysis.

Who's posting here? Is this GK?


Calling a dude that buddied you town (with such weak reasoning) is a way to buddy him back in my eyes. I was hoping for some kind of elaboration, like "From all the play I've seen from wave I believe he would be too timid to make a list of names as scum." Or whatever specific meta-reason it may be (like more specific than what you've said...). With hopefully a prior game link or two to show it. Because I'm not privy to this meta-reason that you seem to be. List posts are kinda really easy to make regardless of alignment... I really don't follow how you can have decided the guy was town based off what you've presented here in thread.

How about the weak +1 to Yam Suspicion and never following up on it? That doesn't strike you as "scum motivated" in spite of having weak +1 suspicion of me too? Lots of weak +1 posts is no longer a valid scum tell around here?



Perhaps I've set the bar a bit low since my last game with DP. I mean, the guy didn't really seem to jump in (in The Game) until VE came at him, and the way he responded really felt like some kind of scum emotional OMGUS response at the time (when he was actually town)... From my experience, town DP does have more balls though, so I would agree that meta-argument supports the theory of a scum DP.

But in general: being wishy washy, while scummy, is definitely something town does too. I remember soooo many townies in past games that behaved like that. Hence why I asked about scum motivation, as in what specific scum agenda would he be pushing? They are different, non-interchangable terms to me.

Well I don't think it's weak. I think it shows a light-hearted mentality that's hard to fake as scum, and it's uncannily observant for something that could be a "mafia-joke". Of course that doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore everything he says right now and treat him like auto-town, but I like the mentality behind that post.

As for a meta reason, I'd kinda expect a newer scum-player (WoS hasn't played as mafia to my knowledge) to be a lot more uptight and serious. Instead he comes in joking, and that goes at odds with my expectations of his scum-play.

As for "buddying," how is that at all a heuristic for catching scum? I talk to newbies about not making reads based on that kinda stuff, and I see you doing it.

So who is posting here? GK?




I didn't go back and check until just now, but this from a much older game (LVII) was what was in my mind.:

GoodKarma - are you going to vote for mattchew right now?

GoodKarma is scum for this reason - he says that mattchew is confirmed scum but then doesn't vote for him and tries to push suspicion onto me instead, appeals to BC (buddying up to a vet, classic newbie scum)

basically the same as treehugger or whoever in tl mafia xxx who says "yeah youngminii is scum for sure but im not gonna vote for him and instead make a case on this random dude"


The strange thing is that he buddied up to me and not to BC. Hell it's pretty clear from his post that he didn't read the thread, given his stances on Grush and lvdr.


Seems you didn't directly implicate it as a scumtell, but you had no problem with it either...


But that was a much better explanation. Thank you.

My vote on Palmar was based on the (perhaps foolhardy) belief that I can make Palmar contribute with pressure. I share the belief that he's most likely town based on mod-action, but I'm so fucking sick of him not doing shit on D1 and then DYING. He only does that shit because you shits let him. "Oh it's Palmar you know, whatever right?" No one wants to make him EARN the N1 shot, in spite of him soaking it up all the time.

Well I want him to earn that shit. He needs to stop being a useless fuck - especially now that he's confirmed town. Stop being a useless little shit Palmar.
is this sarcasm?

So if Palmar is town and VE was answering that post it makes FiveTouch's response even more suspicious in my eyes.

Here's another fact. If FT is town and JM is scum and actually has a nuke, who is to say they did not actually nuke and PM-cancel it instantly to look town to SLJ?

/rayn


I'd appreciate it if you stopped talking nonsense. Go back and read what SLJ said about the nuke and the host reaction, and realise that what you're saying is pretty likely to not be true.

Please also explain why it made VE's response 'even more suspicious' because I don't see anything of the sort. Looks like you're trying to make something out of nothing to me.

~marv

From what i remember Palmar has a lot of meta on VE. VE could think Palmar is actually nuking him for a reason. Also the answer to their post came pretty quick and without thinking it much further. If it was marv i would think you would have thought about the possibilities from every perspective before posting a response. As it was VE, it's more likely that you guys actually are scum. Not sure though. I gotta consult Oats about what he does think of you guys.
/rayn

Why do you feel the need to post in the thread to contribute; and then limp-dick finish with "I need to consult with my partner."

This aligns very much with what Syllo said earlier - and from my experience in Hydra 1, I 100% agree.

Can you explain what happened?

My (Mocsta) first post in the game; was the response to Syllo that you questioned me about.

As I said, I can't tell you what GK had running in his mind at the time.

All i can comment is that I agreed with his perception on thread sentiment.

In my opinion, town Hapa is quick to jump to conclusions, and just as quick to re-evaluate his reads and make his current stance visible. I think that occured today.

I'd appreciate it if you stopped talking nonsense. Go back and read what SLJ said about the nuke and the host reaction, and realise that what you're saying is pretty likely to not be true.

Please also explain why it made VE's response 'even more suspicious' because I don't see anything of the sort. Looks like you're trying to make something out of nothing to me.

~marv

From what i remember Palmar has a lot of meta on VE. VE could think Palmar is actually nuking him for a reason. Also the answer to their post came pretty quick and without thinking it much further. If it was marv i would think you would have thought about the possibilities from every perspective before posting a response. As it was VE, it's more likely that you guys actually are scum. Not sure though. I gotta consult Oats about what he does think of you guys.

Let us re-cap the situation thus far:
  • You have gone out of your way to "contribute" on live thread matters
  • You then avoid accountability by having to refer back to your QT partner
  • Your reasoning: Oats has far better meta understanding than I
Now, let me crystalize for you what I am thinking.


If you are incapable of contributing to the thread, due to weak meta history; or, needing to reference with your partner in general.
Why post in the first place?

Before trying to bullshit me: keep in mind, I was scum in the last Hydra game.
Henceforth why I agreed in full with the Syllo quote, which I will post for you one more time.

Im quoting it because he said it in better words than I.

Dude, its like 18 hours, almost 24.
Because then you are not taking a stand on anything and you dont have any hard statments that you have to make regarding a person's alignment. Like you can always say, NO NO I DIDNT THINK HE WAS SCUM, I DIDNT SAY THAT. So make a stand, put out your reads.

I have no idea why you dont want to give out SCUMREADS at all.

Thats rayn posting, Im oats. Famously said, I DONT KNOW WHAT HE IS THINKING.

I will give out scum read(s) by declaring by means of a vote/case/comment etc when I feel it is appropiate.
Certainly not only because it was requested.

Oh, and Oats, I am confident you will find that I answered /Rayns question in its entirety.


I must admit, that I think continuing exploring this conversation is of merit however.

Thus, I am still awaiting feedback to my questions.

Whats the point of this thing? to say DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO? or something else?
The point was:
  • I answered all of Raynmasters questions in its entirety, &
  • I am still awaiting feedback to my simple and straight-forward question - now questions

Namely,
Question 1
&
Question 2

I admit you (Oats) gave half a response to question 2. But unfornately its still only half a response. And further, I didn't realise Raynpelikoneet needed a "patsy" to speak on his behalf.

Well I wasn't directing the question about Rayn behaviour to you Oats. It was clearly directed to Rayn.
Further, his response has been far from satisfactory. He has dodged the core of the matter entirely.

As for the second question; no; you did not answer it (completely).
In addition, I also find it interesting how quick you are to launch into ad-hominems.

Let me break it down for you.

Rayn asked me 2 questions. Do I have reads // what is my read on Hapa.
I answered both in their entirety.

He reciprocates by proclaiming my response was scummy; as i chose not to elucidate on my reads (even though he did not directly ask).

I asked why my response can only be scummy; and in essence, can not originate from town.

Neither of you have addressed this question.
Your statement about giving hard stances etc, whilst a valid comment, does not imply one is town or scum.
Thus, one: does not align with the stance of your QT partner Rayn; and two: does not explain why the comment can not originate from town.


I expect this to clear up the differences.

If you prefer Rayn to continue this discussion, than I suggest you do not reply to this.

My prior was post presented after VE presents rather valid points on both shotgun and DP/Palmar...

For DP/Palmar, definitely subpar play. Sadly, they are one of several people who have done next to nothing...

As for Hapa: I really didn't understand his townread on Wave (hence why I asked). His explanation wasn't very strong either. I know that Hapa's a strong town player, and find it hard to believe the guy would do something like this so haphazardly. The recent mislynch of Ace in my mind though reminds me that good players do dumb things. So this is a poor reason to suspect Hapa as scum. But there's more to it than that.:

But there's Scum Motivation too for this action. As scum, Hapa has Wave "buddied" to sway the vote. Wave already extended out to Hapa saying he was going to buddy him, so why not take advantage of this as scum? I know he's aware of what motivates buddying, as I recall him using buddying as a casepoint before in a past game. I'm looking forward to Hapa's defense.

##FoS: Shotgun

The thread was too spammy; too crazy; and too emotional.

Hey do you have any reads? Or expand on your hapa read please.
Yes, we have reads.

To expand on Hapa: We don't perceive him as scum; nor an entity to invest further time into this cycle.

+ Show Spoiler +

In my opinion, town Hapa is quick to jump to conclusions, and just as quick to re-evaluate his reads and make his current stance visible. I think that occured today.

Can you explain this, MA? You FoS Hapa because he has scum motivation for buddying me etc etc and is kinda scummy whatever. Then you call him town?.
Reads are subject to change, in particular Day1 where new information comes to bear rapidly.

My read on Hapa is as I described in the post below.

Town does not need to be forthcoming with reads. Town chooses to be forthcoming, assuming it equates to transparency, and thus, establishing innocence.
What town needs to do is scum hunt; and that is precisely why I did not want to give out reads at the point in time.

Why?


(1) The thread is full of loose/emotional comments being thrown around.
Many people are looking scummy for contributing to this "shit-fest" and its easy to get tunneled on bad play; as opposed to scummy play.

Constantly, asking for "reads" is inhibiting critical evaluation from taking place; as you are asking someone to crystalize their thoughts before they have soaked in this "shit fest" of a thread.
--------------
(2) Instead of giving out meaningless "reads"; I would rather enter discourse with my reads to discern their alignment.
Theres a damn good reason I have been maintaing dialogue with you/rayn.


Anywho, I think you (Oats) and I are done with conversation.

I await Raynpelikoneets response to my outstanding questions.

There should be sufficient filter to cherry pick.

In fact, I would like you to be accountable for making a comment such as the above.

Do not tell me it "looks like you wanted to push a misslynch on Hapa".
Stop throwing shit around, and prove it to me.

In my opinion, town Hapa is quick to jump to conclusions, and just as quick to re-evaluate his reads and make his current stance visible. I think that occured today.

Well, you go through the trouble of digging up something potentially scummy from Hapa and question him about it. After a few hours of lurking, you guys suddenly come to the conclusion that Hapa is probably town (or something to that effect) and deem him no longer worthy of pursing today. I understand the stance, but what I don't understand is why, if you have initial suspicions of Hapa, that you're willing to let him off the hook so easily and not entertain the possibility of investigating him this cycle.

Firstly, you have a keen enough eye to pay attention to our posts; yet, are not observant enough to notice that the early pressure on Hapa was solely GK.
FYI,
I entered the thread roughly 4 hours, caught up; gave my reads to GK.
Let me quote him hhaha (cos i was surprised too)
"I agree ironically with pretty much everything you've said".


Secondly, you have a very strong choice of words here Wave.
"let him off the hook so easily" // "a few hours of lurking"; if I didnt know better, I would think you are calling me scum. Yet, I do not see a vote or a case for the accountability I was talking about earlier.

To answer your question; I didnt think a ##FoS was hard pressure; thus enabling "letting off the hook easily".


Thirdly, (to address the crux of your concerns) you present your opinion as if reads are not subject to change.
Why is this?
I explained why I let Hapa off the hook in short. You still have not explained in detail what the dispute is?


Lastly, "I understand the stance" what does this actually mean?

I'm not calling you scum, nor do I believe you are at this stage. [red]My point remains that FoS's in general are very noncomittal and, if you are scum, that is your way out,
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

"I understand the stance" = I know what your stance is on Hapa currently.

MA, what's your read on Rayn after all the "AHMIGERD GIMME READS" stuff?

Thank you for admitting: you are looking purely at the action (FoS).

It doesnt matter what you think it "scummy in general'. What matters is whether you think GK motives were scummy.

Lets apply some critical thought:
Do you think the manner GK maintained dialogue is indicative of someone trying to be non-committal; someone trying not to discern alignment; someone not trying to figure out the game?

-------------------------------------------
Secondly,
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

Are you suggesting, because I happen to agree with a 'flow in the thread' that I become scummish in conjuction with an old FoS? Are you suggesting, it is scummy for reads to be re-evaluated?

-------------------------------------------
Lastly, I am still waiting for Rayn to reply back. Dialogue onus is currently on him.

What do you make of Rayn; since you seem to be carrying his torch. - I do believe he was the one that questioned me originally regarding Hapa, ironically telling me we had voted him; when in fact it was just an FoS.

This certainly doesnt read as curious; the connotation is clearly negative, and designed to read as scummy actions.

So WaveOfCheesecake
When did you read of us evolve to "not scum"
And what set it off; please walk me through this.

SamuelLJackson,

Both slots here agree on FMB.

Im happy we both picked up on the GK comment.
This is what I wrote about FMB in the QT.
"I also dont like Prome/Phagga so far. They look like they are looking for bad actions, rather than scum motivation.
i.e. them picking on us. Your questions are town confidence."

I am also awaiting their MA case.

The question should not be addressed to Mocsta.

Regardless; I have been content with the posting of my partner..

I also believe the post you have chosen to bring attention is, contains a valid opinion of thread sentiment.

Rather, I think it is you, who is choosing to elucidate matters of the minutiae to the fore.

Why would you not want a player you are talking to in the first place to answer?
Are you gonna try to get out of bad spot by letting your partner to answer a question directed to someone else?

/rayn

That answer was clearly written by Mocsta.

As is this response.

What is your point?

Are you suggesting that I am able to elucidate the inate thoughts of GoodKarma at the time of writing?

What i do know is that the post in question, shared the same sentiments I felt at the time.
The thread was too spammy; too crazy; and too emotional.

Hey do you have any reads? Or expand on your hapa read please.
Yes, we have reads.

To expand on Hapa: We don't perceive him as scum; nor an entity to invest further time into this cycle.

+ Show Spoiler +

In my opinion, town Hapa is quick to jump to conclusions, and just as quick to re-evaluate his reads and make his current stance visible. I think that occured today.

Well, you go through the trouble of digging up something potentially scummy from Hapa and question him about it. After a few hours of lurking, you guys suddenly come to the conclusion that Hapa is probably town (or something to that effect) and deem him no longer worthy of pursing today. I understand the stance, but what I don't understand is why, if you have initial suspicions of Hapa, that you're willing to let him off the hook so easily and not entertain the possibility of investigating him this cycle.

Firstly, you have a keen enough eye to pay attention to our posts; yet, are not observant enough to notice that the early pressure on Hapa was solely GK.
FYI,
I entered the thread roughly 4 hours, caught up; gave my reads to GK.
Let me quote him hhaha (cos i was surprised too)
"I agree ironically with pretty much everything you've said".


Secondly, you have a very strong choice of words here Wave.
"let him off the hook so easily" // "a few hours of lurking"; if I didnt know better, I would think you are calling me scum. Yet, I do not see a vote or a case for the accountability I was talking about earlier.

To answer your question; I didnt think a ##FoS was hard pressure; thus enabling "letting off the hook easily".


Thirdly, (to address the crux of your concerns) you present your opinion as if reads are not subject to change.
Why is this?
I explained why I let Hapa off the hook in short. You still have not explained in detail what the dispute is?


Lastly, "I understand the stance" what does this actually mean?


I'm not calling you scum, nor do I believe you are at this stage. My point remains that FoS's in general are very noncomittal and, if you are scum, that is your way out,
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

"I understand the stance" = I know what your stance is on Hapa currently.

MA, what's your read on Rayn after all the "AHMIGERD GIMME READS" stuff?

Thank you for admitting: you are looking purely at the action (FoS).

It doesnt matter what you think it "scummy in general'. What matters is whether you think GK motives were scummy.

Lets apply some critical thought:
Do you think the manner GK maintained dialogue is indicative of someone trying to be non-committal; someone trying not to discern alignment; someone not trying to figure out the game?

-------------------------------------------
Secondly,
Show nested quote +
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

Are you suggesting, because I happen to agree with a 'flow in the thread' that I become scummish in conjuction with an old FoS? Are you suggesting, it is scummy for reads to be re-evaluated?

-------------------------------------------
Lastly, I am still waiting for Rayn to reply back. Dialogue onus is currently on him.

What do you make of Rayn; since you seem to be carrying his torch. - I do believe he was the one that questioned me originally regarding Hapa, ironically telling me we had voted him; when in fact it was just an FoS.

I am suggesting that scum tend to re-evaluate their 'reads' very quickly. Reading your filter it seemed like 'shit, Hapa totes suspicious", then a post or two later was 'nah, Hapa probs town". [red]I think you've cleared it up nicely, however.

Actually, I dont think anything has been cleared.

I did not explain a single action: instead, I threw it back to you to prove your stance.
Lets apply some critical thought:
Do you think the manner GK maintained dialogue is indicative of someone trying to be non-committal; someone trying not to discern alignment; someone not trying to figure out the game?
We dont get any resemblance of applying that critical though; yet, the opinion has changed.
Any reason you are shying away from this?

Why are you telling me you have a critical tone regardless of alignment?

Why do you feel the need to insert alignment? When did i call you scum; I just asked for a critical thought opinion?

This reads as inherent guilt to me.

Further; I did not come in and tell GK to stop being wrong. GK hasn't been in the thread since I have been online.
In addition; even if I told him he was wrong, how does that evolve your read to "not scum".

======================

So in short.
When did you think we were not scum.
What made you change your mind.
If you thought we were town, due to the Hapa issues; why continue to ask questions that imply you think MA is scummy.

Let me go through it with you though, since you don't seem to understand his point of view:

First CC thought you were scummy, now he thinks you're town.
The quote where he says he never thought you were town? He meant before, you know, when he thought you were scummy.

What's the deal with you attempting to turn everything we say around on us though? I can't be sure of what CC thinks of you right now, but you've been null-leaning scum for me for ages, including now.

Why dont you start by telling me, when CC joined the conversation.

Or are you suggesting it has been CC the entire time from the first accusation.

Just for clarification: I've (CC) been posting everything, and that one right up there ^ is Wave. We've been talking a lot about Mocsta. I thought he was suspect, then he explained a little, and i thought he wasn't anymore. Then Wave was like "Hey CC, that's probably scum Mocsta brohan"

Interesting; I was dead certain I have been dialoguing with Wave this whole time.
Until your other half spewed out "totes town"

Doesnt matter though: because Im not evaluating who said what. I am evaluating what the hydra said.

This is the second really questionable read you're using this game. The first being a buddying read that you justified as legitimate since I used it once in a game I played almost a year ago (and my 2nd normal game to boot).

Shotgun; have you been reading the whole conversation or just that final post with a vote?

Secondly, what I chose to elucidate clearly demonstrates a mindset that has not changed its mind over time.
There has been zero critical thought other than "my brain: something in there".

I pressured him for justification and he reciprocates by calling me town/watever.
Now they are blaming it on differeing thoughts between the two slots.

*Yet, say they have been talking about it themselves in the QT incessantly*

How do we ping your alarm if you think we are town?

Seriously dude. Im assuming you haven't read the thread, as this has been covered in conversation with Rayn.

Short story: That was all GK. I cant answer that for him - so you will just have to wait for him to come online.
All I can say is in my opinion, I didn't like the way you guys handled the pursuit of VE. I liked the stuff that came after, and thats why my read changed. I don't see why anything more than that is of importance.

Further, I don't think you are confirmed town, or probably town. I said, i dont think you guys are scum. And I used a heuristic based on what I deem to be town Hapa play. There is no corollary that, that deems you as town. FULL STOP.

I will admit that personally, I thought the heuristic to call Wave cheese based on the "arousal" post was stupid though.

Does the above suggest that is it extremely likely that "FT" / "JM" / "SLJ" are town.

@WaveofCheesecake:

I believe you said something about "waiting" for me? I'm here, so fire away.

Your entire case for MockArmor being scum was for "shifting our read on Hapa from scum to town," or something like that.

In reality I made it a point to call out Hapa for what I perceived as buddying with potential scum motive. What caught my eye is as town Hapa must have more justification for his read. The way he thought you were town with such little justification didn't make sense to me from a town persepective. Hapa then satisfactorily justified his townread to me. I had been through the rest of his filter and seen nothing else that was suspicious. So with that clarification, I moved on. Sure an FOS is a flimsier version of an actual vote, but what I was pursuing was one suspicious point. It wasn't enough to vote him for without further investigation.

Like what were you expecting? Right after my exchange with Hapa I'd be like, "Before I thought you were totes scum (which wasn't the case), now I think you're totes town (Which isn't the case either. Definitely leaning town on Hapa, but he's nowhere near "confirmed town" to me or anything...). Didn't you criticize my counterpart for the exact same thing?:

So here's a question for you:

Would you care to "expound" on this Rayne read of yours? Plenty of time has past and from what I've seen you've still been caught up on your exchange with Mocsta. I understand to some extent "waiting" for people like me, but why even bother posting if you're not going to help contribute meaningfully to discussion? More on that in a little bit...

Posting the quote as a reminder:

Mocsta you didn't answer my question. Why did you attempt to make a big deal out of a person posting something that in essence looked like a confirmation post and a post implying that he was going to bed? The complaint in general feels false given that the game had just started and it doesn't seem like you could have genuinely felt frustrated by the state of things at the time of the post.

The question should not be addressed to Mocsta.

Regardless; I have been content with the posting of my partner..

I also believe the post you have chosen to bring attention is, contains a valid opinion of thread sentiment.

Rather, I think it is you, who is choosing to elucidate matters of the minutiae to the fore.

Why would you not want a player you are talking to in the first place to answer?
Are you gonna try to get out of bad spot by letting your partner to answer a question directed to someone else?

/rayn

That answer was clearly written by Mocsta.

As is this response.

What is your point?

Are you suggesting that I am able to elucidate the inate thoughts of GoodKarma at the time of writing?

What i do know is that the post in question, shared the same sentiments I felt at the time.
The thread was too spammy; too crazy; and too emotional.

Hey do you have any reads? Or expand on your hapa read please.
Yes, we have reads.

To expand on Hapa: We don't perceive him as scum; nor an entity to invest further time into this cycle.

+ Show Spoiler +

In my opinion, town Hapa is quick to jump to conclusions, and just as quick to re-evaluate his reads and make his current stance visible. I think that occured today.

Well, you go through the trouble of digging up something potentially scummy from Hapa and question him about it. After a few hours of lurking, you guys suddenly come to the conclusion that Hapa is probably town (or something to that effect) and deem him no longer worthy of pursing today. I understand the stance, but what I don't understand is why, if you have initial suspicions of Hapa, that you're willing to let him off the hook so easily and not entertain the possibility of investigating him this cycle.

Firstly, you have a keen enough eye to pay attention to our posts; yet, are not observant enough to notice that the early pressure on Hapa was solely GK.
FYI,
I entered the thread roughly 4 hours, caught up; gave my reads to GK.
Let me quote him hhaha (cos i was surprised too)
"I agree ironically with pretty much everything you've said".


Secondly, you have a very strong choice of words here Wave.
"let him off the hook so easily" // "a few hours of lurking"; if I didnt know better, I would think you are calling me scum. Yet, I do not see a vote or a case for the accountability I was talking about earlier.

To answer your question; I didnt think a ##FoS was hard pressure; thus enabling "letting off the hook easily".


Thirdly, (to address the crux of your concerns) you present your opinion as if reads are not subject to change.
Why is this?
I explained why I let Hapa off the hook in short. You still have not explained in detail what the dispute is?


Lastly, "I understand the stance" what does this actually mean?


I'm not calling you scum, nor do I believe you are at this stage. [red]My point remains that FoS's in general are very noncomittal and, if you are scum, that is your way out,
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

"I understand the stance" = I know what your stance is on Hapa currently.

MA, what's your read on Rayn after all the "AHMIGERD GIMME READS" stuff?

Thank you for admitting: you are looking purely at the action (FoS).

It doesnt matter what you think it "scummy in general'. What matters is whether you think GK motives were scummy.

Lets apply some critical thought:
Do you think the manner GK maintained dialogue is indicative of someone trying to be non-committal; someone trying not to discern alignment; someone not trying to figure out the game?

-------------------------------------------
Secondly,
and the brief clause you provided to claim Hapa = town was fairly generic in flow with the thread.

Are you suggesting, because I happen to agree with a 'flow in the thread' that I become scummish in conjuction with an old FoS? Are you suggesting, it is scummy for reads to be re-evaluated?

-------------------------------------------
Lastly, I am still waiting for Rayn to reply back. Dialogue onus is currently on him.

What do you make of Rayn; since you seem to be carrying his torch. - I do believe he was the one that questioned me originally regarding Hapa, ironically telling me we had voted him; when in fact it was just an FoS.


I am suggesting that scum tend to re-evaluate their 'reads' very quickly. Reading your filter it seemed like 'shit, Hapa totes suspicious", then a post or two later was 'nah, Hapa probs town". I think you've cleared it up nicely, however.

In terms of Raynmaster, he seems to jump on things really quickly. In your discourse with him (fuck, did I just use the word discourse?) I believe he came off scummier. Will expound in time.

Almost forgot that the guy found joining the pre-game banter funny but when the game started he didn't feel that much like joking. Must be discussing stuff elsewhere!

the soft calling of someone as scum through the idea of 'posting somewhere else' of course they are posting somewhere else. I got a qt in my role pm. You got a qt too. We all did, its a hydra game! Stupid way to phrase this, it feels like over justification.

It's not "soft calling" when you throw your vote down and stupid does not equal mafia. It was a short, semi serious early game vote post with only one justification. Not at all an "over justification", there was only one reason for the vote.

His other reasons for finding vivax420 suspicious look similarly manufactured. The way he words his case and frames vivax420's posts overall does not feel genuine and open-minded (e.g. "supposed to be 420's concise thoughts", "even gives us a lynchable list"). The random comment about wanting to "almost" lynch GK for tradition's sake also looks like kind of fluff mafia likes to add to their post.

Phagga are you going to write that mockarmor case?


Nope, not gonna write it. At the time when i said that to prom it was about how I felt that GKs posts were constructed, and missing pretty much the free flow that you also accuse prom of lacking. However, after rereading his filter in CT I was reminded that this just seems to be the way he posts. Also, Mocsta has since then added a lot to their filter, and I don't see how their behaviour is pushing a scum agenda.

reading up on some filters, will post more in the next hour. Also, I wonder where NeutralSrvivingBalrog is.

I'll reread some stuff and I'll be back with a few thoughts in the next hour.

What is a scum agenda before the 24h mark of a game? I've never been scum so I'm not really sure. Can anyone enlighten me?


Comments like this. Like maybe in a normal mafia game where no one can communicate with each other could I see this, but in a hydra game where you have a buddy to tell you this shit there's NO EXCUSE for shitting up the thread with this.

You then go on to post even more meaningless crap that isn't scumhunting.:

Hi there. I'm WaveofCheesecake. Oh darn my scumread's not here. Need to keep waiting for him instead of expounding on Rayne who I've conveniently forgotten... THERE'S NO SCUMHUNTING HERE. This was actually done twice in quick succession. Only like a few minutes prior.:

Instead of shitting up thread and "waiting" on people, be it your partner or a scumread. There's three scum right now, and you should have no problem posting stuff without first consulting your partner, so there's like zero reason why as town you should feel compelled to behave as you guys are right now.

Instead you continue to make posts saying: Im playing with my dick in the thread, because GK isn't here.

As GK said, there are 3 scum in the game. OK, you have us as a scum read, awesome. If we are not present; why are you not trying to put effort into looking for the other 2.

Further, so it is CC who has a scum read on Rayn; no worries, I can wait for that.

Actually fuck it, I'll post the short form without proof atm; that'll have to be enough for now. If my meta reads are still shit then they're shit but that's why I wanted to hear more from GK---I'm not 100% cemented on my scumread/meta read and I was hoping GK could confirm in for me one way or another, which it hasn't.
I am still waiting for specifically what is your problem. It has been expressed quite clearly where our transition of thought with Hapa occurred. You are the one who has made no effort to quantify your question in a manner which will elicit the response you ?seek?.

In short, two things. At the time of be making my meta case, Mocsta had already posted a ton without calling anyone scummy; just making careful posts and not giving a solid read on anyone. This is indicative of his early game scum play from both NMM 37 and Hydra I. As town he throws out reads left and right constantly and ACTUALLY MAKES CASES to follow up with his reads and endless lines of questioning, which he hasn't done here. He votes for us here without actually even calling us scum---obviously amounts to the same thing but rubs me the wrong way.
This is plain silly, and indicative of someone making a lazy read by request.
I came into the thread, saying how shit it is. People were too emotional; and too spammy. So, you are calling me scum for trying to bring the thread back to a modicum of decency. Is that correct?
Further, my lines of questions, whether to Rayn, yourself, or whoever; clearly indicate a mindset attempting to figure out alignments.

Another random interesting meta tidbit to mention is Mocsta often enters a thread with much fanfare and hysteria, regardless of alignment (though MORE likely to do so as town.)
Hydra mini I (scum) - was there when the game started, lots of trolling, lots of joking around.
The Game (town) - replaced sandro after a day or so, lots of joking, calling people scum, whatnot.
Nomination (town) - jovial lighthearted posting style, throwing votes and shit around at game entry.
NMM 37 (scum) - Enters the thread with lighthearted tone and RNG fluff.
So you have elucidated that Mocsta, whether town or scum, is more than capable of being "loud". Considering none of the examples above correlate with a "serious" Mocsta; where is the connection for this to be scum. Why are you trying so hard to meld together "tells" as purely indicative of scum; and not actually trying to devine a genuine alignment - that considers town or scum motivation?

This game he was not around when the game started, and you'll notice he did NOT joke around at all, rather he got supersrs right from the get-go. I believe this is because entering a game late as scum, he missed the 'permissible first few hours joking-around period' and doesn't want to start fooling around when people are actually having discussion for fear he will look scummy for trying to derail. NOTE: He had NO problem joking around in the middle of The Game when he entered because he was town and had no reason to be afraid or look guilty.
This is already debunked by my response above; as you immediately jump to a scum conclusion.

One fact you seem to not have incorporated in any of your heuristics is that this game is a HYDRA.
Thus, I, nor many of the others will be posting to our prototypical meta.
We have someone else to bounce our reads off / discuss thread sentiment etc. This *should* allow for a much more levle-headed, critical thinking playstyle.

The items you accuse me of above; in which you instantly force yourself to scum conclusions. Ironically I believe point out a mindset much more indicative of tonie rationalisation and thought.

Make of this case what you will for now. I might be able to expand on it further with better proof (especially since people are unlikely to go sifting through his meta themselves). CC was asking me to post this much earlier when the discussion was happening but I didn't want to derail trying to learn what I could at the time. I figure it's better out than in right now especially given thread sentiment. I'm going to attempt to study then go to bed but I might be able to check back on the thread a couple more times.
Whilst I appreciate the effort to take acountability.
This "case" is extremely weak; and does not read with the conviction of someone who has critically thought about the player in question.

CC; I still wait your feedback on Raynmaster.

Im not going to argue you about WoC trying to ascertain MA alignment. - That is your opinion.

But I would like to know why you are confident stating I was not trying to ascertain WoC alignment.

Mocsta, what is your infatuation with saying how something could be townie as well? Practically everything a townie posts can be construed as scummy and practically everything a scum posts can be construed as townie. That is basically the basis for your argument, 'why do you not look at the town perspective???'. Why dont you tell us the town perspective?
Oats, you are better than this. Why are you trying to debate with me the contents of "Incognito "How to play mafia" guide. Is this truly the best argument you can mount.

You still didnt answer why townies want to withhold reads btw.
I did sir.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=406683&currentpage=30#589

It is not my concern if you disagree. A townie does need to be transparent; but there is also "too much of a good thing". When I want my scum reads to be known; they will be known. As was the case with WoC.

At no point did MA allude to lurking until lynch deadline to feign interest and accountability. So your point is a personal issue of "how to play" the early game. Agreeing with you, or disagreeing with you on personal ideals such as the above is *only* indicative of a null alignment.

Your basis is moot.

I was never requested for my reads.

You asked.. Do i have reads. I said yes I do.

You then asked me to update the MA read on Hapa, which I happily obliged.

The questions were answered in its entirety.

Stop shitting up the thread; your counterpart asked a stupid question, and got a stupid answer.

I will give out my reads when I want to. Syllo gave a similar response earlier, and you didnt try to lambaste him for it.

No I'm accusing you of trying to contribute in the thread without providing accountability. This is because your entire dialogue with your "scum read" is subject to change pending on discussion with oats.

That's bullshit. Full stop.

Further, the exchange with *your/raynpeli* scum read, five touch. Does not even read as if you are talking to someone you are suspicious of.

Thirdly. Let's pretend you were genuinely suspicious of five touch. Why the need to consult with oats regarding your scum read. You should be engaging and probing fiveotuch as much as you can. Instead you are reaponding to questions he asking of you. In addition to hiding all accountability behind oats.

This is scummy shit, and again the whole exchange does not read to me as if you are talking to a scum read.

At the very least CC and I at least discussed him a little;' I know I personally thought his argument about how MA wasn't pushing a scum agenda was kinda stupid (it's somewhere back in my filter I think). If I get back with enough time before deadline I'll read into it more critically but this is it for now.

I mean, this guy hasn't really made any cases, pops in and says "Hi guys! I'll vote for the leader. Kthx bye!"

He says nothing of what he thinks about FMB here. He just throws down a vote and afks... He doesn't followup at all on his reads on Rayne or myself...

This guy shows no real investment in the game...

I mean FMB's definitely scummy looking, but at its heart it feels more like a lurker lynch than anything else... And lurker lynches are stupidly easy for scum to get behind without real fallout later. It just doesn't make sense to me in a game where we could hypothetically have day 2 LYLO that we're pretty much policy lurker lynching someone.

My best guess is Mock. Spends a ton of time talking about Reyn on Day 1, and does nothing to follow it up or vote him.

This is retarded.

I was the first person putting the pressure onto Rayn.

There are two reasons WoC came in the picture

(1) Rayn disappeared for 24hrs; and dsicussing things with Oats is useless/goes no where
(2) WoC interjected through my discussions with Rayn to bring up Hapa.

That exchange led to me putting a vote onto WoC. And you are retarded if you think there was no follow up.

I followed up with Rayn quite explicitly last night before going to bed.
GK followed up with a vote.

Whether you like it or not, JM is correct. We are essentially confirmed town.

Rayn spent MOST of day one trying to sling shit at mock and you think that doesn't make him likely to be town.? You think oats and rayn would bus all day one? From like the start of the game onwards?

I've seen that happen many times. I was in a scum-team with Jay and Xatalos, and they literally flung shit at each other for DAYS. The important thing was that they never actually committed to lynching each other.

So yes I think it's very possible.
Because other than that, there's nothing to really suggest that Mock is town.

If this is Hapa talking. Im pretty disappointed in your play this game. But go on continuing that mindset.

You are tunneled like just early game. What, because you were in a team that bussed heavily in the past; now all scum teams bus heavily in the past? lol, anyone can pull up a random fact to support a theory.

Oats,

Im saying this one last time.

Your qualm is due to differing paradigms in how to play.

I disagree with you; you disagree with me.

Whatever, im not commenting on this anymore. If you want to continue to call me scum; man up and build a real case.

No I'm accusing you of trying to contribute in the thread without providing accountability. This is because your entire dialogue with your "scum read" is subject to change pending on discussion with oats.

That's bullshit. Full stop.

Further, the exchange with *your/raynpeli* scum read, five touch. Does not even read as if you are talking to someone you are suspicious of.

Thirdly. Let's pretend you were genuinely suspicious of five touch. Why the need to consult with oats regarding your scum read. You should be engaging and probing fiveotuch as much as you can. Instead you are reaponding to questions he asking of you. In addition to hiding all accountability behind oats.

This is scummy shit, and again the whole exchange does not read to me as if you are talking to a scum read.


The other important take of this is WaveOfCheese

This is how it went down. When I came back to the game; i gave GK my list of reads. He agreed with them.
Rayn and Wave were our top 2.
This is why I chased Rayn mid cycle.

The reason I had no issues swapping gears to Wave is because *HE INTERJECTED* our dialogue with Rayn to throw shit on us. I took it as a chainsaw defense of his scum buddy.
Because Raynpeli disappeared, i continued with Oats.
And yes, as you know, town mocsta has no problem pressuring every fcuking person he thinks he scummy. Scum Mocsta stays on one fuckn person and tunnels.

Hence, going back to the important take is WaveofShadow dropping that CC has a scum read on Rayn, and waiting for him to drop it. But WoC never does this.

What do you make of Rayn; since you seem to be carrying his torch. - I do believe he was the one that questioned me originally regarding Hapa, ironically telling me we had voted him; when in fact it was just an FoS.

I am suggesting that scum tend to re-evaluate their 'reads' very quickly. Reading your filter it seemed like 'shit, Hapa totes suspicious", then a post or two later was 'nah, Hapa probs town". I think you've cleared it up nicely, however.

In terms of Raynmaster, he seems to jump on things really quickly. In your discourse with him (fuck, did I just use the word discourse?) I believe he came off scummier. Will expound in time.

Alright 30 min to go, cast only went 2 games. Read the thread, Geript, (because I'm assuming it's you who's going on about my meta from The Game etc) if you'd look at my meta from a more recent game than that, Ego Mini, you'll see that I will not be flailing around anymore when a town is looking to mislynch me. I was around for that in Ego and played it differently than I have and it worked out; in this game I'm barely even around and so don't even have the time to go crazy trying to prevent a mislynch onto us, even IF I wanted to.


I believe CC will be back shortly after deadline so hopefully we can get some of the questions people have for us answered then and whatnot. Now as far as today's lynch goes, is it Rayn/Oats? Because I remember finding him somewhat towny during my last read of him; I don't know what CC thinks.

pfft.

Well if you havnt put the time in to read the interactoins of the game with the commitment they deserve; dont add your 2c.

All you serve to do is potentially influence others; when you yourself have not formed an honest opinion.

And yes, if you have yet to read in detail; it is not an honest opinion.

Im quoting it because he said it in better words than I.
The point is. You have nothing to add value with, and are incessatnly saying I have to study; and have to wait for CC.

I get that a townie might be compelled to enter the thread and give a defense, but you arent doing that.

You are coming in, and trying to buy time; dangling the carrot of CC.

P.S.
Hapa made an ironic statement prior. He said, if you guys were scum, wouldnt CC do the heavy lifting.
Its ironic, because most of the meaningful convo this game from your filter is from CC.
Most of your contributions are making joke posts; or trying to buy time.
Both are heavily uncharacteristic of WoS town play.

Moc, my problems with you is that I don't get that rabid dog foaming at the mouth feeling in you scumhunting. In the game, I could see and feel it such that once you latched onto me I knew I was fucked. I'm also not getting that Moclogic TM but that's less important. Care to explain?

Yeah; already explained it.
This is a hydra, typical meta doesnt apply.

My counterpart is a completely opposite character to me; so we have a lot of synergy. For example; he gives me a lot more patience in my play, and also considers different heuristics. I have found our back n forth quite useful.

But as for why I am not a rabid dog. It is because of the PYP game. I made a post in that game speaking of frustration; so trying to change a few things up. The game is live, so I can't really expand on anything. Regardless; rabid dog is attacking anything that moves that I don't like. Im still trying to approach scum with the same tenacity and fervor; just apply a more reserved targeting method.

People can laugh as much as they want, that the dialogue with Rayn was useless. But it was far from it. That they completely tried to side step the argument each and every time, indicated that they were caught: hook, line and sinker.

?

If you cant play right now.. why are you posting?

As I said, I get a townie trying to save their skin. I have been there done that. By corollary I would also expect you to be making defenses and providing alternatives. Unfortunately, none of this is happening. Instead, you are saying repeatedly "please wait for CC, because I am busy". Yes, I believe that is true; I just can not wrap my head around why you need to state this. It is night cycle, and you can not be lynched or 72hours. It feels like premature insecurity - post scum lynch.

=============

With the meta read on me, I am conflicted.

On one hand:
The meta read was obviously terrible (which is odd why Drazerk saw value in it).
Geript points I think are substantial and valid. - WoS does not typically endorse meta cases / let alone create them.

On the other hand:
WoS has played a fair few games with me; and each and every game has called me scum ironically citing my behaviour as the crux.
So even though he doesnt like meta cases (i.e. searching through back logs of post history) he does have a track record of calling me scum due to "meta" tendencies

Hence, for me, that case creation itself is null..

=============

The problem then becomes, you created it *only* because you were requested to substantiate your scum read of MA.
I think this combined, with your incessant desire to say "wait for CC" and things like throwing shit on MA when we were pressuring Rayn - are things I do not like in your play and make me still willing to vote you come Day2.

I only remember 1 'meta' case he made on you, that was around D3 in LX and iirc moreso based on behavior with 'meta' thrown in. This was all out meta IMO.

[fluff] Last I will speak of this.

Every game I played with (town) him, he thinks Im scum. Including the newbies.

This is the first I recall he actually made a case of it.
Typically he just makes a couple dot points to justify why he is calling me out.

But whatevers; even with the meta case as null; "he" specifically is still looking terrible.

CC im not so sure of; hes not remnding me of Nomination; and I never read his most recent scum game ?Noir?.
I really thought I was talking to Wave the other night, so Im still wrapping my head around that.

Gutreads are normally based off something. Otherwise just be honest with us and tell us it's something you pulled out of your arse.

LOL.. Yamato has this obsession calling himself confirmed town.

The two ppl that pushed Rayn hard were MockArmor via pressure + JohnMatrix via case.
We are both confirmed town.

The only thing making you confirmed anything is the nuke. But if that hits town, we are going to have start considering the option of goon/nuke/nuke.

As for SB, they are likely town; but far from confirmed.
FT; i dont understand the read at all. In my opinion Marv has shown much restraint this game; a trait I am not used to seeing in his play. Its got nothing to do with not being a town leader. Its got to do with being lazy with references etc.

Thats the best quote hahahah.

If Marv is scum; thats such a hillarious truth.

I think its a valid slip anyways.

Town are concerned about mislynching town, but certainly not about "protecting" town..
Scum on the other hand, are trying to protect the "brotherhood".

Yes, though you would have been aware we were deeply entrenched with other scum pursuits; you still decided to throw that back at MA as suspicious.

Gents.

Question.
If kush is renowned for early hard bussing. Why are we giving them credit for pushing Ryan early on?

I didn't have a scum read on Rayn until he was too scared to post thoughts on Marv without talking to oats... Whereas vivax seemed to know very early on in the piece and didn't lock down...

Also I'm not sure why so much weight is give. On the qt comment. Is it not something all of us can do? Or are we meant to be treating them as so stupid it was a town slip?
I'm pretty sure vivax is better than that. And kush whilst a troll seems to be better than that too.

And that's why there was no ued

For the smart ones out there. I suggested possibility of second town nuke yesterday.

Snb wanted to die, and we had the means to ensure town would keep scum hunting on the chance that they are town martyring.
