Do you think that kind of comment is out of character for a town-VE? ~marv Very. VE loves silly banter and spam. I find it hard to believe that anyone could take such a hostile stance towards any sort of conversation in the first hour of the game. He called the first hour of discussion boring... like who the fuck does that as town? | ||

I think it's very scummy. Scum try to shut down discussion like that all the time. When I used to bring up policy talk in my opening-games, I remember scum responding like that all the time. "lol this talk is stupid i'll be back when we begin to play" is something I've seen time and time again from scum. Most recently in the game I just hosted (Mr.CC shutting down discussion on Day 1 with negative comments). Is VE 100% scum? Of course not. I can't make an accurate read 30 minutes into day 1. But you better be damn sure that if I find something worth pursuing early on, I'm going to pursue it until the issue is a dead carcass on the side of the road and I find the truth of the matter. | ||

You keep singing the songs of "BS" but refuse to explain why that quote isn't scummy. Even if you don't believe agree with me, why do you care I'm pursuing this?

Granted I'm no VE meta-expert, but he's usually very pro-discussion in the early-game as town. And here I'm faced with this quote that is the exact opposite - calling everything boring and promising to watch paint dry. I think that goes quite against town-VE's mentality. | ||

That's some rather lofty rhetoric there marvel-babe.

Yes, and it was the manner in which he approached it that is scummy. It wasn't just that he was bored with it all - he was criticizing discussion without making any attempt to move it in the right direction. Idle and objectively-purposeless criticisms such as these are scummy Mabye people don't understand the read I'm trying to explain. I don't think it's subtle, but maybe I need to make a longer post about it. Do note in his last town game he was down to serious business within half an hour of first posting in the thread on Day 1 (The Game). That wasn't his last town game. And what's even your point? | ||

I understand comments against thread sentiment, however that's not what I'm going after. VE criticizes the direction of the discussion, and proceeds to do nothing about it. But I think it's becoming clear to me that you don't understand the read I'm trying to make. It isn't that VE is making some random stupid comment or against thread sentiment - that's pretty darn normal. It's that VE is making a comment with the sole purpose of being negative/critical about discussion, and from what I've seen from VE, he rather likes the early-game banter. Anyway do you understand my read or not? I'll make a longer post about it if you don't. I am a VE meta-expert, I've played with scum VE many times. Ok and I haven't. If you can point to me a similar comment that he's made in a past game, I'll take a gander, but I've never seen VE take such a negative attitude to Day 1 discussion. | ||

Well I'm waiting for VE to respond. Hard to pursue my suspicion when several people are sheidling him. In fact I'd love nothing more htan to have a 1v1 conversation with VE right now so I can sort out if my read has more basis or not. Unfortunately people aren't letting me do so. But it's creating discussion, so I suppose that's fine. | ||

In fact, I can't understand your motivation at all. First of all, I've been in here openly discussing everything with everyone, INCLUDING you. You ignored the majority of my filter in support of your weak accusation, and still assert that it's scummy to you, you just can't be fucked into explaining why. So how does me joking about exciting grass mean that I'm attempting to stifle discussion? ALL evidence points to the opposite, except for the one joke post you quoted. I'm in the same boat as Yam at this point - I know you're better than this. My initial thought was "Oh, he's got to be fishing for reactions" or something but you're not - you want the thread to believe that you genuinely find me suspicious for this...and that's suspicious to me. Well the interpretation was that you were trying to shut down discussion by calling it boring. Noir Mini (and Mr.CC's filter) being fresh in my mind, it reminded me of his early-game... sample: On April 02 2013 07:40 Mr. Cheesecake wrote: Blah blah blah policy blah blah Policy: Don't go full retard mode if you're town. Savvy? You'd think this would be common sense by now. THe post is really dismissal/critical of early-game discussion (policy-talk). And of course it's not just limited to CC - scum tend to do this since they are generally anti-discussion. Your post is fairly similar: On April 13 2013 08:27 FiveTouch wrote: Well this is exciting and everything, but I've gotta go watch grass grow. Sorry, if it was anything less thrilling you know I'd be in here instead, but DAT FUCKING GRASS MAN. Again, very dismissive/critical of early-game discussion. You claim it's trolling/non-serious, which is an alternative explanation, but admittedly one I'm not completely satisfied with. Anyway I'm at a point where I can't well-articulate my suspicions against you, so questioning you further is fruitless for the time being. I'll likely revisit you/marv in 24-hours or so with a fresh mind. In the mean-time, let us post and converse. | ||

In fact, I can't understand your motivation at all. First of all, I've been in here openly discussing everything with everyone, INCLUDING you. As for motivation, it was half-forced half-real. I do like jumping on things very early on, because I feel that it's the best way to get discussion going. At the same time though, I'm not going to jump on something I dont' believe in myself, and something about that quote still is really off to me (but enough about that). It's something I've done in the past to some success (against DP several times). Was it a wise choice this game? Dunno. It certainly heated up the thread, but Yamato going after me mid-way through my push threw me off and made me lose a lot of focus midway through the push (hence me not reading things carefully and going slightly retarded toward the end). | ||

All I see is VE saying that he's about to go away for a jokish reason, but then being there anyway. How does that post imply that he wants to stop discussion? Is he asking you to stop talking with others? The bottom line is that I'm not pursuing this thing any further (atleast not that quote anyway). I can't articulate it well, and therefore I probably should be looking to other things. I posted it more as an explanation to VE. | ||

Now, Cheesecake's post is very obviously critical in tone and verbiage (blah blah policy blah, full retard, common sense, savvy?). That much is true. What I'm failing to understand is how you came to the conclusion that I must be pushing an agenda of stifling discussion by me calling the discussion "boring". Boring doesn't mean "useless" or "stupid" or "common sense" or anything dismissive at all. It means that reading it was making me bored. Why no hate at Palmar for fucking off to watch Watchmen? Why no hate for WoC for this? I mean, he's in your accusation of me and everything, and here he is, drawing eyes off your case on me with this drivel. No hate for the Cheese? Why no hate for CC? Because that post was made me giggle uncontrollably. His play so far also has a very different tone from his scum-games. His light-heartedness seems to indicate town. As for Palmar, that's kinda what he does. I didn't go after him for it for three reasons: 1) It's non-alignment indicative of Palmar 2) Palmar's alignment is usually fairly obvious on Day 1 based on his interest level. 3) I got caught up in 4 conversations at the time. Also keep in mind that the posts of CC and Palmar are not negative or detracting of discussion. They're just troll-posts. You're making the case that yours was as well, but we've gone over that already. Only hate for VE. It stinks of pushing an agenda. This is my problem. What's bad about going after one player? Tunneling is the nature of the business. I'd like to think I've made why I went after your post as opposed to others pretty clear just now. | ||

Regarding Yamato's Case Bascically three points: 1) I buddied him 2) I'm "trying too hard" to buddy him 3) BS case on VE In order... 1) Buddying is a mischaracterization of my goals. I just tried to strike up a conversation with the first person I saw in the thread, which happened to be the geript-half of the hydra. Secondly, the logic of "buddying the hydra" doesn't really hold, since you are both separate entities. Me getting on good terms with geript does nothing to influence your opinion or view of me. And with all respect to geript, there are plenty of better players to buddy in this game if I were scum :3 2) As far as me "trying really hard" - it's silly early Day 1 talk. Though the read on gerpit at the time was genuine, since he seemed to be taking certain posts more seriously than they were intended, and seemed very earnest in doing so. Case in point: On April 13 2013 08:03 InsertSmurfHere wrote: That was a quick pronouncement... Why you think that? Why you reading them differently when they're one head? 3) The whole "case on VE" thing has been beaten to death. The basic point is that I thought VE was scummy at the time. As far as "hapa can't be this bad", I kinda do this all the time as town. If you don't believe me, DP and Prome can attest to my early Day 1 tunnels. | ||

Still fairly null on VE, though I need a clearer head before I attempt a read on him again. Yamato/Geript are most definitely town. There are certain posts from Vivax that strike me as genuine, so a slight town-read to him. | ||

But Hapa's argument could fit into a policy against anti-town play, yamato's possible motives for defending VE and keeping up the comfy tunnel..I find scummy.

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. 2)So this is a poor reason to suspect Hapa as scum.

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.

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. 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? | ||

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). | ||

Firstly, I didn't think the post by VE was a joke at the time, hence me pushing him off of it. Secondly, I don't know VE very well, and I'm generally pretty terrible at reading him. I've played 2 games with him, both of which he was scum and both of which I had gut-town reads on him for the first few days. Also if I'm "scummy as fuck" or whatever, where's your vote? Where's your push? All I see is you tryign to justify that I'm scummy to my partner instead of going anywhere with it. | ||

At first thought, Balrog seems ideal. I don't know about Drazerk is an eternal quagmire to me, but we've gotten almost nothing from the SnB half of the hydra, and that's very rare for a town SnB. Either way there are two other mafia even if I'm right, so gotta find those. | ||

I also am trying to figure out how he went from this: I don't think FT is scummy anymore. I read Hydra 1 and this game VE posts and VE was quite different in that game from what i can tell. Oats is saying the same thing. I can't be around @ the deadline, i consider NSB / FMB / VIVAX420 the scummiest atm. Vivax only because i can't understand much they are saying. Oats gotta decide who we gonna lynch. To this... ##Vote: ShotgunBiceps For going after VE (which in itself is not scummy) and later on backing off from the read with a response that "the case was half-forced in the first place" when people find this suspicious. ... in the course of an hour. Either way, I do want to lynch FMB today unless they start posting more. Not as sure on Reyn. | ||

Seems like the trend of the thread, as far as I'm aware, has been meandering along towards an FMB lynch for some time. If he's mafia, is he really that far gone that the other mafia haven't tried to significantly push an alternate lynch? Seems like we're just gonna lynch FMB and that's that, no real questions asked. syllo, what do you make of this? If I remember correctly you're usually pretty aware of these things. Palmar too. ~marv Fairly valid concerns, however the fact remains that Prome's play has been incredibly lacking, and that lines up pretty darn well with his scum mentality. I find it hard to believe that town-Prome would awol the thread like this. If I remember correctly, he was quite busy in Dessert Mini (as town) and really made attempts to go out of his way to be active. On Day 1, I think thread atmosphere and flow can be fairly fickle, and I'd rather resort to lynching objectively scummy players. For example, the scum-team could be lurking or just bad at deflecting attention off of their buddy. And given the most recent votecount (with votes spread amongst 5 players), I don't see this as much of a concern anywho. | ||

Reyn joined a late wagon that had virtually no chance of succeeding, and while I'm trying not to OMGUS, his case really seems like a scum-case. Firstly, before he posted that case, he expressed strong interest in lynching three other people: I don't think FT is scummy anymore. I read Hydra 1 and this game VE posts and VE was quite different in that game from what i can tell. Oats is saying the same thing. I can't be around @ the deadline, i consider NSB / FMB / VIVAX420 the scummiest atm. Vivax only because i can't understand much they are saying. Oats gotta decide who we gonna lynch.

The objective would be disassociating yourself from all the main wagons. The most recent vote-count seems like one of those counts where a townie is getting mislynched by all townies, and scum are entirely spread on alternative wagons. His present vote seems a lot like that. Soft-push all the main wagons in the thread, then plop your vote down somewhere useless. So yeah I'm starting to have misgivings about FMB. But dammit Prome be all lurky. | ||

Even how he responds to pressure has been different. In the Game he became far, FAR more involved after cases were levied against him. In Hydra, once he was on the chopping block he started trying to actively push someone else because he was both blue and town. This game, I don't get that. I don't see him actually trying to get MA lynched at all. Even if you say that's because he's busy, then look at his meta case... would you ever think that's effective at pushing agenda? Honestly? That's not a weak case from a weak player; that's just a bad case. It has 1 good point in the middle of it which gets the least time and he spends most of that time deciding whether or not to even post his thoughts. NOT TOWNY. WoS is SCUM Hydra 1 was a fairly different situation no? Like he was the leading lynch candidate, and not a fringe one. Anyway I'll read his filter again. I still think his FMB vote was very genuine. | ||

I read his filter again, and I'm still not feeling it. Even if the WoS half is different (more joking), it feels like he's putting in the effort, and the CC half feels townie. Furthermore, if they were scum, why would htey have WoS doing the heavy lifting, when CC is far and away the better scum-player? Anyway I'm leaning towards lynching Rayn or VIVAX right now. When I read through Vivax's half, I dont' really see why I considered him all that townie in the first place. Rayn is scummy for what I mentioned previously. | ||

##Vote Raynmasta Their filter is comprised of three things: 1) Saying "EVERYONE IS SCUMMY" 2) Defending themselves 3) "Tunneling" myself far beyond when it was fashionable.

CC gives Hapa the towniest of townreads with no reasoning to back it up, but still suspects MockArmour for changing his read on Hapa to town. If you really thought Hapa was town, wouldn't it be only natural that others would come to the same conculsion? I can't see a townie seriously thinking that Hapa is the towniest of towns while suspecting others for giving a townread on Hapa. Their opinion on raynmaster is a weird one. It starts with CC declaring that rayn is scummier than MA, stating that he'll tell later why. He tells us only after the lynch why he thought rayn was scummy, with just a couple of lines he could have dumped in the thread at any time really. CC votes rayn stating that he is sheeping, why is it sheeping if have a scumread on the dude? Why didn't he just say that he had had a scumread on rayn and votes acording to it? Seems odd. Waves stance on rayn is also a odd one. To start with, he doesn't find rayn scummy in the slightest even though he knows that rayn isn't in CC list of townreads. Wave says several times that he and CC haven't discussed rayn. Yet instead of trying to tell CC that rayn is town, atleast when he last read him, he trusts CC and votes rayn. Seems odd that he abandoned his townread on rayn and trusted CC, even when CC didn't tell him, what made rayn scum. If you had a townread on someone, and your mason partner (hydra equivalent) told you that someone was actually a scumread of his without providing reasonings, would you believe him? I don't think so. WoC contributions can summed up as: tunneled MockArmour and defended himself. Aside from some minor points on whomever WoC suspected, thats it. Not very much. All of this make me think WoC is scum. | ||

InsertSmurfHere – Duh JohnMatrix – Double Duh FondleMyButtocks – Should be reasonably clear that the FMB wagon was a mislynch wagon based on how many people were soft-pushing him and how the votes panned out. MockArmor – Two things: 1) Their defense last night was very townie. The whole “fuck you I am confirmed town” defense seems incredibly difficult to pull off genuinely as scum. 2) Raynmaster’s actions strongly suggest he’s town. He got into a shitfight with him, then 180’d his read calling MockArmor town. That doesn’t seem natural for Rayn to do with a person who he knows is guilty (i.e. they’re probably not scumbuddies). Paranoid-of-these-guys-but-shouldn’t-be-lynched-tomorrow: FiveTouch – The obvious point is that he was pushing mafia-objectives on Day 1. He was shutting down discussion on Raynmaster and lightly resisting the lynch until the very end of the day (when VE suddenly voiced his support). However I would need to have a better idea of NSB’s alignment to really pin down his actions. Marv’s major lynch push was NSB. Obviously if NSB is scum, he looks better. If NSB is town, this looks an awful lot like a cop-out from doing any actual scumhunting at the end of the day. Should be considered for lynch tomorrow: VIVAX420 – I’m actually fairly worried about him. Vivax hasn’t done very much, and Kush’s half (despite being suspicious of Rayn early on) bears an eerie resemblance to his scum-game in Witchcraft Mini Mafia. I think Yamato’s description of Kush’s play was fairly accurate: On April 16 2013 01:10 InsertSmurfHere wrote: According to Yamato, Kush is a massive troll and only ever busses as scum. So if he calls someone mafia that flips town, he's probably town. As odd as it sounds, the fact that Kush didn't like Rayn bothers me. I'll reread again later. Kush has a very difficult time coming up with original content when he’s scum, so his play revolves around doing stuff he knows is correct: attacking teammates and defending townies. This is basically what he did in Witchcraft Mini as scum – he showed a general lynch apathy on Day 1 between a bunch of lurkers, then started bussing his teammates on Day 2 and beyond. In addition, he had a few oddly timed town-reads that he hard a hard time articulating. Also the Vivax half hasn’t been all that townie. There’s just very little content or analysis out of either of them. They state opinions, but often have scant rationale for them. Am I convinced they’re scum? Not at all. However I believe they deserve a careful look tomorrow. WaveOfCheesecake – I’ll preface this by saying that my gut-read is that they’re town. I’ve been generally disappointed by their effort, but CC’s play seems very similar to his town-game in British Mini II. He seems a lot less concerned about his image in this game, and in his scum games, he definitely tries to make a show of looking townie by being active/spammy. That being said, he should be considered for lynch, since I really need to hear more from him in order to get a better read on him. NutralSurvivingBalrog – Should be lynched for being useless as fuck. | ||

After he votes FMB, he beings to share sentiment arising in the town that the vote-count looks a ton like a mislynch: On April 15 2013 04:48 SamuelLJackson wrote: This vote count looks suspiciously like a townie lynch. One wagon and 4 votes spread around? Marvel, since you are here, are any other options viable today in your opinion? I could use some leads on who i should spend my time on. Then he makes a show about wanting to carefully consider other options: On April 15 2013 05:30 SamuelLJackson wrote: @vivax420 I took a quick peek at your filter and it seems you both agree on the FMB lynch, are voting for someone else and now you are pressuring me to move my vote away from him instantly when I'm considering other options? On April 15 2013 05:42 SamuelLJackson wrote: I could get behind vivax420/nsb/FMB, who looks actually like a good wagon if vivax is scum. I'm not feeling the woc. While he did say he was going to bed in 30 minutes or whatever, I find it hard to believe that he disappeared in the middle of his deliberations on finding an alternative lynch. He apparently decided not to care, leave his vote on a guy he had misgivings about, and go to bed. It's hard for me to rationalize that from town-Syllo. | ||

And if I was the anti-nuker, I'd be certainly "daft" enough to let it land, because you've spent the majority of the last day whining about your situation as opposed to scum-hunting. In fact the only scum-hunting you've actually done is tell is to sheep Palmar. Really? | ||

So I'm left with a situation where one of the best town players on TL has given us nothing of substance the entire night cycle. The simple answer is that you're scum, and it will continue to be so unless you decide to show us that you're town by doing some work. | ||

Wouldn't surprise me if they started pushing my lynch. It's not like you're a beacon of townieness. Who do you think is scum? There's very little that's definitive and clear on that subject in your filter. | ||

You guys lynched a scum. Good. Now lynch the useless lurker tomorrow and don't screw up if it reaches Lylo I've put nothing into this game because I thought SnB could deal with it until I got back and for that I'm sorry and my play has been abysmal. The best thing I can do right now for town is be lynched and we all know it. Well you'll have 48 hours tomorrow to fix the whole "lurker" thing. Will you have time to play? If not, get a replacement. | ||

Town - I'm fairly sure CC and I agree on that front. What about Vivax's posting has been good? Also what do you think about my comments on Kush (in that he busses his teammates relentlessly as scum)? I'm leaving my thoughts on FT close to the chest right now partially because I can't afford to get into an argument with marv right now. I scurred of him. This is not an argument with marv. It's a conversation with me. | ||

So his actions definitely did serve a town purpose. also hapa lol. your metaread is so one dimensional. kush Well the only reason in your filter that suggests you are town is that you were on Rayn early on. However you didn't push him at all, and only sheeped the wagon when it was in full force. On behavior, I don't have anything to suggest that you are town at all. I've seen a great deal of lynch-apathy on Day 1 and mysterious reads that pop out of nowhere. Anywho what are your reads Kush? Still no mentions of who you want to lynch. | ||

Not so much to look at with SNB looks like he's just going to martyr at this stage already, I'm not buying that behaviour from a town perspective so that makes him look scummier imo. Would expect scum to be demoralized after that lynch, and he can't try too hard anyway all of sudden cause it would look too inconsistent with his lurky and kinda useless D1 play, and I don't believe he would act all emo as town when we just got a scum lynched. Likely scum. -V You've been saying this since yesterday and still haven't drawn any conclusions from it. Getting reads out of either of you is like pulling teeth. | ||

I'm attempting to catch up with the thread here but I'm casting in 10 minutes so I may not make it back in time for deadline if it goes 3 games. For now, going to follow thread sentiment and vote FMB. I'm sorry I can't give much more than this atm, hopefully he flips red. 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. ##Vote: FondleMyButtocks It's a completely unjustified "sorry for not being active, I'll sheep thread sentiment" vote. Every single time I see a vote like this, it's from a townie. Never fail. It's just not scum-mentality to be so blunt about your intentions. Scum will try to play nice and "mask" a lazy vote with some trimmings. However when you see an absurdly sloppy, blunt sheep vote like this so close to the deadline, it's almost certainly town. | ||

He's my top lynch candidate for tomorrow, but there's no sense in talking about him if the rationale for voting him is mind-numbingly obvious (useless lurker). I'd rather spend my time figuring out the allignments of people that are posting. | ||

I'm going to recommend putting pressure towards Vivax/WoC. I think only one of them is scum but I'm not sure which one honestly. Please take a hard look at Prome/BH/phagga again tomorrow as the more I've read the more I almost get the feeling like we jumped from scum to scum. Really? Given Rayn's voting actions and the vote-pattern as a whole, I find that really hard to believe. I find it really hard to believe that Rayn would plop his vote down on a player with no chance of getting lynched while soft-pushing the FMB lynch if FMB was scum. BH not posting is annoying, but the D1 vote works overwhelmingly in their favor. | ||

I'm pretty sure Vivax is town, myself - Palmar's tell is decent and if he did that as scum that's some next-level shit. You're engaging with Cheese and I can look at his responses, and right now my read of you is in flux too so that factors in. What's there to "flux" about? Read how the Rayn bandwagon went down, starting on page 51. Hell even hours before that I was talking to marv about potentially lynching Rayn. How is it that people haven't re-read the most pivotal moment of Day 1 is beyond me.

No one is lynching NSB because they're scum. If they say so, they're lying. We're lynching them because they're an unreadable anti-town lurker. I'm at a point where I have enough reasons to think everyone else is town to just lynch NSB. If NSB decides to start playing and posting, then I'm willing to listen and adjust my reads accordingly. He's shown the intention to do the exact opposite, therefore we hang NSB since we'll end up lynching him at some point down the road anyway | ||
