okay...then what do you think is more likely then?

he's a newer town player that worries about how town views him, whether he is being helpful, whether he is pulling his weight? or he is scum who is worried about town cred because he is scum?

FWIW, I don't it's unreasonable to think that DP is bussing here. He's trying to gain town cred for a lynch that almost happened yesterday. If they thought that BH was most likely gonna get lynched or vigged, it'd be a pretty good scum play IMO.

I'm not saying I definately think it's true, but DP "catching" BH in scumslip when there are already several people suspecting BH doesn't make me think DP is any more likely to be town.


JarJar, how did you read DP prior to the BH scumslip and why?

The continued absence of grush is making me think more and more that he really didn't like having starsenses dragged out of him.

So I've been through the filters multiple times, I'm left feeling like the scum are in the following group: BH, grush, dandel, jar jar, GK. BH for the slip, grush for what I just said, dandel for his continued desire to do nothing to help the town, JarJar for his suddenly appearing scumread on a pretty town DP, and GK because his meta cases have been bad to the point of being fabrications. These reasons are coupled with process of elimination via town reads.

The last two are pretty interchangeable right now...I still wanna see how JarJar and GK behave in day 2, and to be fair I had a townread on JarJar before this little exhange we just had. Now I'm not so sure.

If BH flips scum would you still think jarjar is scum?


This has already been brought up. I haven't looked carefully at jar jar and bh's interchanges with, but nothing off hand that i remember says they couldn't be scum together. Ill look for closely when we actually have a scum flip.

You are exaggerating how townie sputnik appeared to DP. His read was mainly, activity based.

I mean I'm not in his filter right now, but I don't remember DP repeatedly saying sputnik was probably town.

GK: initially had a null read on him as he was causing discussion and pressuring people...then he makes that "didnt look at my role PM" post which is super scummy to me so I stop and look back at his filter. all he has been doing all game is pressuring lurkers trying to get one of them lynched. Some might say this is good play to get rid of the "trash" or whatever but to me its just an excuse to mislynch. I hate his filter.

s0lstice: posted my reads on him a lot, just filter me

WoS: Do not like how he is constantly going against what the popular opinion is and is too sure of things happening before they actually happen. My worst scrumread of the 4 but he intrigues me...also a lot of fluff posts.

DL: never played with him before but im taking vets word on it that hes playing scummy and hes been pretty useless so far. even if he doesnt flip red I dont see why he would be useful to keep around. Maybe vig him instead of lynch is a better option.

Why I retracted on stutters: At first I thought he was extremely suspicious for immediately wanting to jump on the first bandwagon of the day but then I realized that I doubt mafia would do it so early. As I said later in the day, we have to watch out for the people that bandwagon at the end, not at the beginning. He seems like just another sputnik to me, a low activity poster thats easy bait to mislynch. Waiting to see more from him.


The bolded is actually a town tell.

This actually interesting, since they do it only 10 minutes apart from each other. I think if they were both scum, they'd be more self-conscious about things like that and, if not not say it at all (since it sounds scummy as hell), at least space it out a little?

That's a scumtell on JJD mainly, I'd say. He's hinding his scummery behind the posts of somebody else. He also made it sound like he's not complaining when he totally was complaining.


And this is a pretty devious post construction if he's mafia:

Maybe I'm reading to much into this but I'm wondering why you want people to focus on your meta?

Let's say I tell you this is like my 13th game without rolling scum. What does that tell you about my play this game that you'd consider important at all right now?


So he doesn't feel meta's important here.

Excellent summary of my town play. That fabled scum game is still waiting to happen though.


When it comes to excusing his lurky play, it matters.

I look forward to Stutters's response. If it is to be believed he's sometimes useful as town, then that's another scumtell as he's been nothing but useless thus far.

Okay. I can understand it was early. But if we were to look in the here and now you still haven't provided anything that suggests who you think could be scum.

I think what peashooter, and others here are getting at, is either post something that helps us scumhunt, or don't post at all.

I am less inclined than others here to just policy lynch you. But you make it hard for us when you continue to spam the thread with emotional OMGUS responses. Hopefully you see where we're coming from.


I would be most interested in hearing about your read on Grey.

What are your own reads for scum? You've mentioned twice the need to scumhunt, and here you're chiding Coag for not providing anything in regards to who he thinks is scum, when you yourself have done the same. It's just more of the same general game play talk with no actual stances taken in regards to your own opinions.

##Vote: goodkarma

Convince me you're not scum.


Sowy, but I'm not giving you any scumreads until I'm ready to. You claim I haven't been scumhunting, but if you were to look at my posting so far I have:

1) Worked towards establishing a pro-town atmosphere, a reasonable early goal
2) Been pushing others for reads to get a better understanding of their motives and thought process, which is very important to getting scumreads


As far as cases go, which aren't the only component of scumhunting: As I said, when I'm ready. And I promise you it will be long before the end of the day.

But what I'd recommend you to do right now is to focus some of your energies on getting others to participate (not everyone has even posted yet!), and pursue some of your other scumreads. Because tunneling one read, and going into lurker mode thereafter is in itself pretty scummy...

I will be presenting my own case before the evening's done, so everyone has a solid 24ish hours to look at it. But I typically don't like to jump into cases as quickly as some here. Call that scummy if you want, but it's my playstyle.


Highlights in bold and red are mine. The bolds are self-explanatory, and I bolded the red to explain it slightly - goodkarma is saying in this passage that it's important to push people for their motivations and thought processes, and thinks it's very important.

Here he makes an early case on Stutters (despite saying last town-game he doesn't make early cases) and he never talked to him first about his thought processes.

I would note at the end of his post in this thread he says "I look forward to Stutters response". But if we're to take his posts in The Game at face value, goodkarma likes to play by getting responses FIRST, voting LATER.

What I'm saying is this.

If you believe that GK did not check his PM, then you really can't treat anything he did before he said that as alignment indicative, right? Therefore, you should not be citing posts before that point.

If you believe GK lied and did check the PM, then you should be calling for his lynch at the top of your lungs because there is no town motivation to lie about that.

Ergo, if you are citing his posts that came before he said he didn't check his PM, an opinion is required on whether he was being truthful or not.

I kinda feel like Marv should have had an opinion on whether he was lying or not, if he was fuming about it.

The quote I just posted implies that Marv thinks posts prior to GKs claim are alignment indicative-->so he therefore must think he is lying-->and therefore should really be telling us to lynch the liar for lying.

WoS, since marv is doing the electronic equivalent of sticking his fingers in his ears and going 'nah nah nah nah can't hear you'...I'll ask you.

Are you following my reasoning here? Making a post painting GK in a bad light that cites posts that come prior to his claim of not reading his role PM requires SOME opinion on whether he checked his role PM. Citing those posts carries with it an assumption that GK was being truthful in his claim.

I'm just not seeing how one could pursue GK without considering it, as it directly affects whether certain of his posts are alignment indicative.

if you are citing posts from before the claim, like you did to make him look scummy, then you are saying they are alignment indicative, and therefore he lied. done, lynch the liar.

you can't cite posts from before the claim without dealing with the claim. you can't ignore it.

I think not reading your role PM goes completely against the spirit of the game and I find it absolutely disgusting.

In Red Team I joined Hapa's policy lynch on OO for a while when he said he didn't read his role PM without saying much about it before leaving it alone and not talking about it.

I'm not wasting my time thinking about something that's basically the height of unsportsmanship.


I see exactly what you are saying Marv, but I was concerning myself with his claim and you weren't. That was the rub.
