To add to the GK thing, what I don't like about his approach is the "everyone's town, therefore Shiao is scum duh" approach. It seemed alright when I read it, but compared to Shiao's response, it is quite wanting. And honestly I can't point to anything in GK's filter that I can call strikingly townie.

Of all the town-reads I have, the one I have on him is by far the least robust and the least justified.

Because I refuse to sleep, there are two things that are striking about GK's filter on yet another readthrough:

1) How few questions he asks to other players after Day 1.

GoodKarma does poke and prod a couple of players with random questions (mostly Shiao) on Day 1. However post-lynch, he really hasn't attempted to engage with anyone in the thread. He comes in, plops some commentary, and leaves without ever pursuing his reads.

This is literally the only question he has asked since the lynch:
Corazon, what is your read on Hapa?


Huh.

2) It feels like his analysis posting empty "mass" and "drivel".

One thing about the structure of his posts and analysis since the lynch is that his thoughts are often "dumped" into a post, are very rambly, are very poorly formatted... etc. The structure of his posts are really hard to read, and are almost designed to not take seriously. For example:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=417453&currentpage=62#1235
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=417453&currentpage=69#1365

Like these two posts are essentially the culmination of him catching up on a giant block of posting. Perhaps this is baseless and I'm overthinking this a bit, but it just seems like he's posting in a manner that's just asking for us not to take him seriously.

Yeah. I can very confidently say that I have a clear scum-read on GoodKarma and a town-read on everyone else in this game.

He's done so little this game, and everything I thought was a town-tell in the past in his filter is not robust. I've felt like his analysis was bad all game, and that's pretty classic for a scum GK.

##Vote Goodkarma

He is the lynch for today.

Adam is interacting with the thread.

GK is popping in, posting stuff, and then popping out.

There's also the fact that Adam was one of Rayn's scumreads right before his sudden demise. That's some points in Adam's favor.

Anyway, I'll double check all of this tomorrow.

For now, read through GK's filter and gimme an opinion.

@ GoodKarma

Can you explain your thought process behind the Yamato save? Multiple people in the game expressed a desire to save Ange. Ange was the clear-cut save, and you seemingly ignored everyone's advice.

I've honestly grown pretty tired of this game, and all the bullshit it entails.

Every. Fucking. Game. People want to lynch me for stuff I do day one. Regardless of alignment. And said stuff just carries over endlessly until either the game ends or I am lynched. Sorry Marv, but I'm never ever ever reading role PM's day 1 ever again.


So here's the situation:

I think there's merit to everyone being town at this point, including Shao. So we have nine people, and among them I'd assume one scum (two would be a bit odd with 2 3P, which should go without saying). As such, we determine who to lynch and in what order today.

We can afford three mislynches, or 4 tries at this in total.

If we take Corazon to be "modconfirmed town," and assume that everyone on DP wagon is town, we're left with this situation.: We lynch into Oats, Adam, Shao, Hapa. It's just a matter of order.

Honestly, at this point, I'll probably just sheep whatever Obvious/Corazon/Coag/Sloosh come to a consensus on. I'm kind of worn out this game, and I don't need to be some kind of master scumhunter this game. We lynch between those four targets the next four days we should win.


This rings somewhat hollow to me. No one is suspicious of you for Day 1 things. No doubt that somewhat plays into the equation, but your play on N1/D2 has been fairly lackluster compared to the effort that other people have put in. Shiao for example, came in and burst-posted more over the span of 1-2 hours than you had over the last day or so.



@ Corazon

I think you should roleclaim. If you're actually a blue-role, there's a pretty good chance that GK is scum - 4 blue roles is really extreme for this setup.

If there are no other blues, it doesn't preclude the possibility of GK being town.

@ GK

And as a last, but slightly preachy point...

If you are finding yourself getting tunneld on Day 1 every game, not-reading your role PM probably isn't the answer, and you probably should look to your own play to see why players are getting on you.

It doesn't say, but I can probably change it throughout the day.


Yeah, I was wondering why you had your secret vote on Yamato yet were voting GK at the end of Day 1

Well I wasn't 100% sure about Yamato being town.
The fact was that Yamato would not shut up about the secret vote and insisted that it was DP. I didn't want to change it to make Yamato tunnel me and confuse the town right before the lynch.


That's fair. Not like the votes have a mafia motive anyway, given that you had a chance to save DP.

The problem I have with GK's claim is that it's really, really convenient.

Firstly, he's claiming to have jailed the only guy (Yamato) who isn't around to verify his claim (given Acro's RB fuckup). Secondly, Ange was the obvious save for the night, so that adds further questions to his target choice. Thirdly, we basically have to assume that marv used his 1-shot vigi ability to kill Yamato and essentially made a YOLO shot. I suppose it's possible, but it would be an incredibly risky move for him to do.

And lastly, there's a pretty high chance that the last scum is a roleblocker. A mafia RB literally has no choice but to claim JK to keep his story straight in future days.

And lastly lastly, the wording/construction of GK's "frustration" post is really calm and collected given the mentality he's portraying.

Complete sentences, immaculate punctuation, and even has the level-headedness to come up with some long-term lynch plan.

Then "oh btw, I'm the JK".

It's not something that reads like a truly angry/frustrated townie, who would be panicing, mentally disjointed, irrational, etc. It reads as constructed.

@Corazon:

From the OP:

"Overview: This is a closed setup. There are no standard notifications (RB, save, hit) in this game and there will be full role reveal on death. Passive abilities and factional KP cannot be roleblocked. The town win condition is to eliminate all anti-town players."

So either you are lying, or the host is.



Wait a sec, from just at start d2.
Factional KP cannot be blocked. As gk picked that quote he must have known that he couls not defensively rb. so yamato would have been an offensive rb. while that makes more sense it is still weird why would you rb your null???


Wait wut?

Just to clarify terminology:
Offensive JK = trying to Roleblock someone (usually to block factional KP)
Defensive JK = trying to save someone from a NK

Now obviously it doesn't make very much sense for GK to offensive JK Yamato. However nothing precludes him from Defensive JK'ing Yamato. At that point in the game, Yamato was obv not-scum since he was on the DP wagon. While GK mentioned Yamato as a null read early in the game, most of his analysis structure in the past two days basically assumes that everyone on the DP wagon is town (including Yamato).

That being said, JK'ing Yamato is both convenient for the purposes of a fake-claim, and suboptimal (given Ange was the clear save target on N1).

Wait. Offensive JK is about blocking KP. Defensive JK is about saving someone.

Now obviously Offensive makes no sense in regards to Yamato. However Defensive makes sense, since Yamato was obvtown after the DP flip.

I think the OP means that you can't roleblock mafia KP.

Not that you can't prevent KP in the first place. Though doesn't hurt to ask.
