Talk to me about your Syl read. And Stutters.

Secondly, you can't expect GK to replace in, and immediately read 27 pages of filter within an hour.

He said he'd catch up tomorrow morning, so let him catch up and then make a decision about it based on his reads. That's my plan anyway.




Correction: you can't reliably read someone off of one post.

is it hard to have scum read if you also want it to be a correct.

it just struck me it might be easier to have a scum read if you didn't care about correct.

Do you have any thoughts on what would be easier?

Ok... day 1 claim is unfortunate

##unvote is the obvious first move

GravityMan:


1) No, not really, everyone is acting really erratically this game and it's making things kind of difficult to work out.
2) That argument was actually rather annoying - flamefests just spam up the thread uselessly and demoralises the town side most of the time. I don't even feel like there was anything productive that came from it...
3) Lurkerish, lynchbait, scum jump on my weak cases etc. etc.

Unless Jampi shows up soon (he said he would be here around now right?), I'm going to put a vote on him going mostly on Hapa's reasoning.

Its more difficult as scum to fabricate a scum read cause they already know who is scum. So unless they want to attack their teammates, they have to fake a scumread off stuff they know comes from town.

However for town, at the start of the game, you have no idea who looks like scum. Then you read peoples filter and the game, scumreads will come. There will be people you think are scum. Being correct or not doesnt really come into it. Thats when you flip your read. But no town player at the end of day 1 should be like, "i have no clue who is scum".

So therefore not having a scum read or scum reads is scummy.
I used to have that problem playing scum, like I would delay by saying I dont know who is scum then trying my hardest to find someone.

Syl is town cause he is trying to win the game, not staying in the background.

I don't think it's a tell when people do that - I tried calling rayn out in LXI for that and he was town in the end iirc.

I'm more up for lynching Vayne today though - his apparent reasoning for his weird posts, which is for survival (but in a sense that the posts are scummy enough that scum have a reason to keep him alive) is a pretty weak reason and having some sort of hidden agenda behind his play? If he had a hidden agenda, why would be tell us so? If it's something to use in the future to find scum, well now they're more wary and more likely to target Vayne, which is the exact opposite of what he wanted to do (survive).

Everyone who's put a mayor vote on Shiao looks super sheepy anyways, why would that matter if he sheeped onto the Shiao vote?



Great reasoning. . . . .. .. . .. . .. . .



Maybe stutters is too shy to say he wants mayor :D

I've played many many games of mafia, and through all my experiences, there's no correlation between people who have no scumreads and being scummy.

Well.
Why do we lynch people? Its cause they dont really want to lynch scum, they want to stay alive. Isnt the best way of staying alive not antagonizing someone without fully making sure that it wont look bad?
No scum reads is the most middling of grounds, you dont have to justify anything, and no one gets mad at you.
Thats why its scummy.
There is a correlation between no scum reads and scum.
