I didn't get the sub-in message until the middle of the night, when I was sleeping.

Hardly fair for me to start playing without a role PM, although i'm sure some of you would have loved that.

##Vote: Goodkarma

Of the two, DP looks more invested and I venture ill have a better chance at figuring him out on later days when we're the only two awake talking in the thread.

So to you they are both equally scummy and this is the only reason that made you vote goodkarma?


I had all of 10 minutes to read both filters and get a grasp on where both of them were coming from.

Not being able to get a reliable read on either, I went with voting against the one that I knew I would be able to interact less with.


In light of that flip, I chose poorly.

Was just about to suggest that.

Convince me of what you see Oats. I've seen you make coherent cases before, make a case against Hapa so I can get a better read on you both. Just saying "hapa is scum" over and over isn't very convincing or helpful, and you're not kush, despite what DP said.

I hope to hell that you are not town, because if you are, your play has slid severely.

No. There's being unintentionally bad, where I will try to figure you out (go see duel mafia and my read on sylencia), and then being intentionally bad, such as Kush in smurf. You don't want to put the effort into playing properly, then i don't want you around with the idea lingering in the back of my head that you could be scum playing us for fools.

So far, in the examples you gave, bad people were town. Where do you get the idea that I would flip scum then?


I'm well aware what he flipped. He made himself intentionally unreadable, as you are doing now. I'm done with unreadable. If you don't want to play the game, don't sign up.

We're not lynching Oats unless we think he's scum. Period.

Do you think Oats is scum? Also presumably you caught-up with the thread now that you're posting - who are your other scum-reads?


I am reasonably caught up.

Right now I want to see more out of GoodKarma, ShioaPi and Raynpelikoneet. Oats would be on this list as well if he weren't playing like a dick.

I consider everyone on the DP wagon to be out of the question for tomorrow.

Those of us that were on GK yesterday, I actually have some of my better townreads on: Cora, Marv and yourself (in that order).

So presumably you find each person scummy to some degree. Can you elaborate your thoughts on each? I'm most interested in your thoughts on Rayn.


I actually like Rayns interest on D1, he seems to be trying to figure people out and push along his agenda. What I don't get is his push on you, and part of that being that you weren't on the DP vote. He says its not a factor, yet he brings it up twice. Now I understand hes been drinking tonight, so I want him to come along tomorrow and make some more sense. Basically his reads stand at odds with my own and id like a better insight.

GK and ShiaoPi tunneling each other is interesting. ShiaoPi just went AWOL instead of trying to push his scum read and GK did much the same after they had both voted each other. I want to see if they continue pushing each other and how they go about doing that.

Oats has been thoroughly useless, as discussed. I hope that he decides playing like an imbecile is boring soon and actually puts forward a decent case against you so I can get an idea of what he is actually thinking. I am reacting strongly towards oats on this because he had a box seat to Smurf Mafia being a co-host of that game. He clearly saw what kind of an effect a player like Kush can have on the town, yet hes choosing to mimic that here. What i'm starting to think is that he saw a towns reluctance to lynch an objectively scummy looking player and decided to replicate that here to his benefit.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

I still want to hear more from him though. He was on me in a flash in Mexican Standoff and saw through my bullshit when most of the playerbase just accepted it outright. If he sees something in Hapa that I've missed, I want to hear it.

GK, what are you trying to say with this? specifically "And the scumteam would not be trying to form up two scum bandwagons". If there were two scum being pushed yesterday, why would we even consider that both (or either) of them were also being pushed by scum?

I did not say they were scum. I said by process of elimination, I wanted to hear more out of them.

Ill let you know when I have a scum read I actually feel confident in.

I want you to stop dicking around and make a real case that consists of more than a single line against someone. If thats me, then so be it, but make yourself useful.

Those of us that were on GK yesterday, I actually have some of my better townreads on: Cora, Marv and yourself (in that order).



Can you please clarify on the subject of your townreads? Are you saying that Cora, Marv and Hapa are your stronger town reads among the people who voted on GK or in general? What makes you so sure about them being town?


They're my strongest townreads in the game, bar Yamato who would sit either first or second behind Cora. It still blows my mind that DP actually flipped scum, because when I compare both wagons side-by-side I see most of the towniest people all apparently on the wrong side of this lynch, and seemingly a hoard of semi-lurkers got together and offed the mafia godfather. To say i'm perplexed is an understatement.


Cora is town to me because of his general attitude. He isn't afraid to be himself, even if it gets him lynched. Constantly trying to redirect people onto more productive endeavors - trying to get coag to stop tunneling marv who hasn't even posted in the thread yet, for example. He feels exactly the same way he did in Duel mafia, except his reasoning is stronger, which probably stems from playing a few games since then.

Marv is town to me because we seem to be thinking along the same train of thought. The fact that his reads seem to echo most of my own fills me with some confidence that he is probably town. Hes been trying to figure people out from what I can tell and he seems to share my confusion with the current state of the game - that someone I've given a town read on probably has me tricked. His meta read on me is another plus. Hes probably the person most familiar with my scum play after our escapades in Hero mafia and hes got me nailed dead-to-rights - my scum play is wooden, not fluid and I am literally petrified of posting for fear of being accused.

Hapa feels town because hes actually posting and engaging people. In duel I defended scum hapa for over a cycle before common-sense finally set in that I was defending him even when he wasn't defending himself. His willingness to engage me as soon as I joined the game, and again tonight, was more than I ever got out of him in Duel. Bottom line is if his post count drops off and he becomes withdrawn in the thread, hes scum - I don't see that from him here. He has one of the biggest filters in the thread and hes quick to interrogate people if he doesn't understand what they're saying.

It goes into consideration, but I take their filters in as a whole.

I've just been privileged to play in a town that imploded after pushing 2 scum on day 1, due to the faulty logic "he wasn't on the scum lynch D1, therefore scummy" so i'm hesitant to make that call again here when I see objectively townie play from them, at least in my opinion.

If either Marv or Hapa were scum with DP, they'd have rolled over this town and we'd have lynched OO for sure. Their thread control would have been enormous. No way they'd have let him get lynched if he was their teammate.

Rayn, the reason you cant tell who I suspect to be scum is because I don't know that myself. Ill walk you through my current thought process.

As per this post:

Those of us that were on GK yesterday, I actually have some of my better townreads on: Cora, Marv and yourself (in that order).



I don't consider anyone on the DP wagon to be a viable lynch for tomorrow, so I strike them off my list.

I then take out the people I feel are town who were on the GK wagon - Cora, Hapa, Marv.

This leaves me with 4 names: Yourself, ShiaoPi, GK and Oats.

I liked your hustle on D1, so I feel most confident that you're town out of this bunch, so you come off. Oats is being a right shit, but most people seem to think hes town for it, so I move him to the maybe category. This leaves me with either GK or ShiaoPi. I doubt they're both scum together due to their actions on D1, so unless we're dealing with a 3 man scum team of DP, Oats and one of these two, I've already messed up somewhere in my logic. This leads me to conclude that either my town reads on the GK wagon are wrong, or that the scum are on the DP wagon and bussed him yesterday.

I sincerely do not think the scum team bussed yesterday, for that they threw away an exceptional scum player with probably the best role to suit his play style. So I take a look at the 3 people I called town on the GK wagon with me... and all I see is town.

I cant manufacture scum reads that I don't have. So this is where i'm at. I hope to have a better understanding of what actually happened D1 after the KP starts flying around the place. Where to tomorrow? Resolving the GK and ShiaoPi situation looks as good a place to start. I don't get a strong scum read off either of them by examining either of their filters. I don't find the cases that either of them put forward yesterday to be all that compelling either. Hence my comment on seeing what they did and how they did it.

Are you even reading the thread?

Rayn was calling me scum right before he died. He was going to try and push me today.

I am yet to comment on GK and SP because SP is yet to return to the thread. I want to hear them both out before I decide which way I want to go.

I have zero reason to think you're anything. You post no justification for 95% of your 'reads'. I'd rather kill you than sit here and bash my head against a wall trying to figure out what you are.

In this world, scum are in such a bad position they really cant afford to be bussing.

I'm town because i'm being exceptionally open with all my thoughts. People think you're town because you're irrational and useless. I know which I prefer.

Mhmm, this is exactly what I was afraid of.

I do not think a scum ShiaoPi would be giving me a town read of right here. Nor was I expecting GK to do it when he did, if he were actually scum.

Something fucking fishy going on this game.

I like where you are going with this Hapa.

ShiaoPi felt genuine when we were discussing things earlier. I am reasonably certain I do not want to lynch him today. His desire to trade himself seems crazy at first glance, especially if hes not certain that GK is scum, but its town crazy By contrast, GK was certain that ShiaoPi was the last scum, but also left himself an out 'in case ShiaoPi somehow flipped town for some really odd reason' (then he would reconsider his town reads).

Going by vote analysis alone, it would make sense that GK is also scum, as Rayn let his vote waste on OO rather than swing it over to GK after I threw mine on to get that wagon over the line and save DP. Granted, its entirely possible Rayn was AFK for the lynch.

around 36 hours.

I do not get the same feel reading a game that I wasn't in than when I do playing in one. It clouds my reads. My obs reads are notoriously shit as a result. Trying to form legitimate scum reads was difficult this game, made especially difficult by the caliber of the players that rolled scum. So I focused on what I could do, find town reads, be as open and clear with my thought process as I could. I have been extremely upfront with the fact that my scum reads were lacking this game.

What you're feeling as 'different' from duel mafia is simple - confidence.

The second Dieno stepped into the thread in Duel, I had him bagged, Kierathi soon after. I was confident almost to a fault, I led a crusade against two reasonably townie looking players because I was running on such a high from dragging down two scum. No one was anywhere near that obvious this game, at least not to me.

I know the quality of the scum team because two of them have flipped and I had both of them leaning town.

If you're going to take everything I say and turn it around from a scummy perspective, then there's really not much else we have to say to each other.

Like this. This makes no sense to me.


It was a hypothetical look at how the end of day 1 played out. If GK were town, wouldn't Rayn have tried to save his scum teammate by voting GK off? Now if two scum were being pushed, Rayn would be better off saying nothing and just letting the lynch play out. The caveat is that the lynch seems to be in the middle of the night for him, so its entirely possible that he was asleep when this all played out and that is the reason he never moved his vote. Going by GK's current posting, hes looking town, so this is all moot.



Oats, you've called me scum to the point of harassing me every time I step into the thread. You ask for everyones read on me, when they give it, you disagree and try to talk them out of it. You've clearly already decided that I am scum, so I want you to tell me why you are yet to vote me this entire cycle.

Explain.

In case it wasn't clear:
ShioPi is town.
Goodkarma is town.

I had the sneaking suspicion in the back my head that this was the case. I could not form a decent scum read on either of them, yet seemingly by process of elimination they were all I had to work with. Their posting today has confirmed that to me, that I was right to not just launch into lampooning either of them.

Oats on the other hand has been badgering me since I got here, continually redirects discussion onto me and yet now only votes me after I call him out for not having done so already. Nah, hes our last scum. Now i'm confident.

Ok, no seriously, walk me through this Oats.

Hapa is ODD for unvoting GK - Possible scum?
GK is scum claiming with his final post - So scum?
I am scum and you vote me because I called you out for not having done so - Scum.

You are floundering under pressure here. All 3 of us cannot be scum.

You are not able to keep a consistent story so you are just calling everyone scum for shit reasoning.

Hapa and Sloosh's unvote is not weird in light of that post by GK. If you cannot get how town that post makes him look, which you apparently cannot, since you said its a scum claim, then you are not looking at it properly and trying to figure out his alignment. It has genuine town frustration for yet again being the subject of discussion, despite his best efforts stamped all over it.

Too scummy to be scum only goes so far.

Why did he feel the need to instantly vote me when I called him out for not doing so? because he knows he should have had his vote in there a long time ago. I called him out for an inconsistency, and he quickly tried to correct that, while saying that 'votes don't matter man'. If he truly believed they didn't matter, why did he vote me?

I'm clearly your number 1 scum read. You've been heckling me all game saying "HES NOT SCUM HUNTING", and yet you show no desire to get me lynched with a vote. You're scared to make the first move without winning everyone over to your side first.

It is both. I called you out for an inconsistency and you tried to cover it up, brushing it away with the logic "votes don't matter".

I find ShiaoPi to be more likely town for two reasons:

His interactions with Rayn and his posting on D2.

Rayn shoots down ShiaoPi's case against GK, pretty handily dismisses it because it is poorly applied meta:

I am thinking you are blowing this way out of proportion


When have you played with yamato that has given you this impression?


Cannot pin point it to a certain game right now, would have to look in his game history again, but it is more I always feel like wanting to shoot him for some posts he does. take it as you want, I am really dont feel like like searching for specifics right now.

Now on GK:
The case on oats is bad since I have not seen anything really alignment indicative from oats right now. gk is just using oats playstyle against him to look contributing and scumhunting, usual scum motivation stuff. His play also feels a lot like I swear this is normal mini mafia, which just ended recently and where I and gk were scum. (minus the inactive replacement shenanis)
Also gk is most surely familiar with oats' play so taking this "easy" target is something I think is clearly scummotivated

The case on Oats is bad for sure. I'm just trying to figure out if it's scum!GK or town!GK doing this. You seem to be sure of him being scum because you have voted for him. It does not matter if GK has done this as scum, the question you did not answer is do you have evidence that he has not done this as town? Is your meta-case valid or not?


I think mainly based on gut feeling and comparison with the last game as scum we had together. Cant remember the last time goodkarma rolled town with me playing as well.
Also you just objectively judged that the case is terribad, so why do you need so much meta? Meta is much more of a helpful factor in my opinion not necessarily the argument to get somebody lynched. So I see gk doing that case on oats which is scummy as shit and then compare it to his play in I swear, I think its similar so it reinforces my scumread on him...
To be honest I don't even know what your problem is

My problem is that you are voting for GK based on meta, because he once made a bad case against someone as scum. Guess what? Townies make bad cases too, especially early on in the game. I am not saying i think GK is town, but you seem to be so sure he is scum because of this meta you are describing, especially when you are under attack from some people now.

If you are going to make a meta case at least get your facts straight. Look at Les Mafia, look at GK's case on me and tell me that the case GK made can only come from a scum!GK.
.

I don't think this is scum v scum talk. If it were, shutting down his case effectively forces him to go and jump on another bandwagon, increasing the chances he's going to draw attention to himself. Why would you bother? this case may have taken off, it almost did. GK almost died D1.


On D2, ShiaoPi comes in less confident in his read on GK:

On Goodkarma:
I am really really torn on him right now. On Day 1 I was pretty sure that he was scum. Currently not so much anymore, there are still posts, which make me go, well that's scumGK, but there is also stuff that makes me want to think him town.
First off on the sucm tally we got his entire scumhunting effort. I don't remember playing a game with him where he was town, but I kept hearing from several people in I swear and here that he needs time to get started but is then a good townplayer in his own right. I just do not see it here. His cases have been pretty fucking trash. But posts like these:

I'll also state that I think Cora is really, really townie.

There are certain people that are off-limits for scum to attack (obvious townies, etc), because scum fundamentally want to blend in.

So when Cora is going off and being suspicious of players like OO, sloOsh, and Ange, that's 100% paranoid townie. Suspicions like that attract attention like crazy, and scum really just want to play along.



I'm inclined to agree with you Hapa.

The more telling thing there is that Cora has a mod-confirmed RB, and having soft-claimed blue, I find it much more likely scum would feel inclined to do this than town.

I agree on Oats too. I honestly don't have much more to say there.

Those on the DP wagon are still likely town. So that leaves you, me, Adam, and Shao.

Everything you've done recently has me inclined to believe you're town. You are just soooo much involved in trying to solve this game I find it very hard to believe you're faking it as scum.

Adam also I believe to be town, as he shows an active involvement in the game.

I'm obvtown.

That ONLY LEAVES Shao. By process of elimination, Shao must be the last scum.

##Vote: Shao


Also exist. They are pretty townie (even if wrong on me) on the mentality side of the game. Because largely based on elimination I also ended up with only him left, if we just go with face value of how things went down so far. Ergo if we do not assume some crazy plays with bussing on d1 for no reason etc.

Having said this I am perfectly fine to trade with GK, so just lynch me first to get my town flip and then go kill him.
Just wanted to post this before I go rereading




Even so far as to say he uses a townie mentality. Put yourself in his position here. There's probably two other viable lynches today other than himself. GK and Me. Oats hes already called town previously. I don't think scum are going to come back into the thread, call their main tunnel all game probably town, then look at the next obvious target (me) and say that he's giving off town vibes. It just doesn't leave you any options.
He freely admits that this doesn't leave him any solid targets, agreeing with my 'being lostness'. What is his endgame with this strategy if he's scum? He's just going to call everyone town and hope they forget about him? We're all probably getting lynched at some point, its just a matter of what order, as GK has pointed out.

His willingness to reexamine Sloosh and OO is townie thoroughness/paranoia after he concludes i'm possibly town and he doesn't like any of the options in this group. As was his paranoia towards hapa.

I think what happened here was both GK and ShiaoPi came into this game with their previous scum adventures fresh on their minds, and got a case of confirmation bias on each other and went tunneling. I did the exact same thing with Cyber_Cheese in Mafia L after our first scum game.

I do not think he is scum.

Sloosh, here is my solidified post as to why I think Oats is scum. First, look at Oats attitude towards the GK ragequit post.

He goes from:

I don't think a townie would ragequit in a way that makes himself look this townie, therefore its a scumclaim. Read that again if you have to. I do not buy this explanation one bit.


Look at his attitude towards me. He has been hammering me since I got in here, and utterly refuses to listen to anything I put forward about why I am not scum, nor does he listen to why other people think I might be town. I gave a legitimate response for why I was not playing up to my Duel mafia standards, for which he had no rebuttal. He then uses the same argument again as a reason I am scum when discussing with OO. This kind of blatant disregard for anything coming out of your targets mouth is scummy. You know they're making a point that you cant argue, but you keep harping on it anyway. The one time he shows some form of insecurity in his read towards me? The post he votes me in. That is scummy. If you're sure I'm scum, as he damn well appears to be, drop your vote, call me scum and start convincing everyone else of your viewpoint. Instead, its this:

Because the last time as you have quoted I tunneled people, against many people, they flipped town. Is it like that again?


"Last time I tunneled someone to death against what everyone was saying they flipped town. Is that happening again?"

This attitude does not gel with voting someone. He's apparently reconsidering yet voting to kill me in the same post. Inconsistent. Scummy.


I already went over this before but ill go over it again. I called him out for not having a vote for me. He felt insecure and the need to correct that perceived wrong so he slapped his vote down as soon as he could. One minute later, he's saying "Votes dont matter man", so why did he vote in the first place if they don't matter! He realized he made a mistake and tried to downplay it. If he felt votes didn't matter, he would have responded to my first post with "it doesn't matter now, ill vote you later in the day after the discussion is over", but that isn't what happened.

Oats, if you don't plan on pushing for my lynch, and you sure as hell didn't defend ShiaoPi, someone you just called town, from being lynched - what DO you plan on doing this game?


I refuse to believe GK is scum. If he has to resort to these kind of shit tactics to win as scum, he can have it, but I wont be signing up to play with him again.

GK, if you're town then get in here and give us your new perspective since your scum read just flipped town. Otherwise, replace out.

Piles and piles of WIFOM.

Alright. This is getting us absolutely nowhere. I propose a deal to you. We both came to the same (correct!) conclusion on ShiaoPi. We take one day of the next cycle where we do not attack each other. We go through everyone else in the game and try to come up with SOMETHING that isn't both of us slinging shit at each other.

If after that day we still have nothing, we happily go back to voting each other and then town can flip one of us. Deal?

Ok, well its a start. Why?

His interactions with Rayn looked pretty good to me, maybe that's bias from being on the receiving end of his shit also. Does this feel like Hapa from Duel? it took him 3 full cycles to get an 8 page filter there, he shit that out in half a day here. His scum play in that game was very.. hands-off and reserved, he largely sat back saying nice things while we all went at each other. That is about the opposite of what I see out of Hapa this game.

Those are two pretty big plus's in his favor.

Go look at any of Hapa's scum games, they're all really low filter count compared to his town games. All of his town games are in excess of 20+ page filters unless he dies early. Hes well on track for that again here. I can see the frustration and confusion in his text, I feel more confident that Hapa is town right now than just about anyone else.

All 3 of us played together in Chrono, Duel, now here. If memory serves.

Me and you also played together briefly in... LX... or possibly LXI, where I replaced in, did nothing except sheep supermarv.

Assuming GK is town and not just playing us for fools, then the only way Yamato could have died was from Marv.

Thats that KP accounted for. Coag shot Rayn, no one is disputing that. That leaves 1KP, on the target of the person that lead the lynch on the scum GF, so scum factional is a safe bet here.

From a setup perspective, SK is extremely unlikely, as is two families of two. There just wouldn't be enough townies in the game with whats already been flipped. I think we keep it simple here and work with 1 scum remaining. Traitor is also a possibility as was earlier proposed.

It's not even that I think you're scum at this point. It's that I have such a hard time believing that anyone else could be scum.

Like on behavior, this conversation gives me town vibes with both you and Adam. If so, then who's scum?

Do we spite-lynch GK tomorrow then cross our fingers?


My thoughts exactly. This conversation is actually flowing quite naturally.

So then I consider maybe a traitor that inadvertently bussed DP on D1 without knowing it. But does a roleblocking traitor even make sense?! Someone roleblocked Cora and they're not claiming it.

Something hinkey is happening in this game, I felt it on D2 when Shiao and GK both looked town and im getting it again now.

I feel like a townie might have claimed the roleblock to try and clear up some of this confusion.

What good is a townside roleblocker when you cant roleblock factional KP and the one scum powerrole we have seen launched during the daytime?

I feel like the second point I made there is the most prevalent reason that it is a scumside RB.

What friggen good is a town RB in this setup? A town JK I can see, for stopping damage potential. But a flat town RB is dogshit here as it does zero except interfere with other town roles. I don't think we have two townside JK's.

Well, as we just proved, the RB is most probably scumside. Scum dont actually roleblock themselves when they claim roleblock, so the fact that acro confirmed that Cora was roleblocked means that he is most probably not scum.

Doublevoters are almost exclusively town.

Giving an extra vote to the mafia is borderline broken. The mafias sole objective in this game is to increase their voting power to the point where it overwhelms the town. Giving them a hidden vote brings them one step closer to that objective (LYLO), without the town knowing it. It almost serves as having another mafia player, without having someone saying shit in the thread to get caught.

Alright.

There's a handful of people that all have more reasons to be dead tonight than Hapa, this was a night kill aimed at shutting down discussion.

I want everyone posting. The last 36 hours was predominately me, oats and Hapa, I want to see more out of the rest of you. Write cases on who you think is scum. No one is off the table.

OO, I look forward to reading more fleshed out reads from your last paragraph there.

Still no sloosh and its been 24 hours since his last post.

Sloosh, last time you spoke of the issue (me vs Oats), you were siding with Oats due to 'my lack of anything substantive'.

Did the conversation last night between me, oats and Hapa change your opinion on any of us?

I'm going to be honest here, as much as I may not gel with Oats playstyle, the discussion that the 3 of us were having yesterday would be very hard to fake as scum. It was freeflowing, and neither of them felt on edge or like they were withholding anything.

I don't think hes it.

53 instances of 'GK' in Rayns filter and not a single comment on his alignment.

The more i read, the more I just keep coming back to him.

If we don't hear about him being replaced soon, then I want him to be the default lynch today. We're coming up on a full cycle without him now and i'm starting to get irked by this.

Do you seriously think that Oats would shoot Hapa, the main person keeping him alive?

There's WIFOM and then there's just plain stupid.

I sincerely doubt a Scum Oats would back himself to close out this game on his own when he could have got a step closer with Hapa barking at everyone that called Oats scum.

Nope. nope. nope. I would have been overjoyed to be in this situation 72 hours ago, but no, this isn't right.

Adam, this makes sense to me but how do you reconcile that inconsistency from Oats is scummy when Oats is by definition inconsistent? Can you see a case for Oats literally spending this entire game reaction fishing (my term for it, not sure what to actually call it)?

I believe it could be possible, however unlikely, for him to adapt his town style to this game if he's the last remaining scum. That means his agenda will always be his own and not of his teams, so being his town self (random, inconsistent, scummy-looking) would be to his benefit here. The problem with this theory is that he's been doing it the whole game. I can't identify a transition from team mentality to solo-Oats mentality in his filter.



Yeah. Oats reactionary play style this game pissed me off initially, hence why I said I was happy to see him die (and I was still sour from smurf, if you couldn't tell). I'm not all that familiar with Oats scum play, having only played half a game with him when he was scum. In regards to specific scum tells, I don't know that he has any glaringly obvious ones. I default to Hapa in regards to Oats meta, his meta reads are usually very solid.

Also, hes just not... careful enough. His justification for why he panic voted me was 'because its funny', for example.

I mean OO is so out of touch with the thread his fishing up cases from 48 hours ago on someone that I've since ruled almost surely town.

I asked for reads on all 3 of us in the apparent 'lynch pool of death' and I got nada. Some waffle about Oats antagonizing Cora on D1.

If you're town, do you think the level of activity and effort in this game has been acceptable in the last 72 hours? There's only one answer here.

OK, We've gone over that logical line a thousand times and it keeps bringing us back to the same place. The place where our reads conflict with our logic.

If everyone on the apparent confirmed DP wagon is town, then use that 'confirmed' status instead of posting once a day! If everyone on there is town, theyll have nothing to hide about us poking around and asking questions.

Instead I am getting "NO YOUR GETTING LYNCHED SOON, STOP QUESTIONING THE RULING ELITE AND DIE QUIETLY"

Its bullshit.

Its ALL of those things. Yes i'm on the block. Yes I replaced in. Yes its my personality.

I HATE losing as town. HATE.

This attitude of "Oh we're done here, lets just clock out", is exceptionally weak.

I ask you this: You lynch Oats today, Lynch GK tomorrow, they both flip town. You're going to lynch me after that, in spite of everything I have said and done in this thread. That one vote was the only defining action in my play and now i'm destined to my fate regardless of anything I say? Is that correct?

The problem is, Oats, that you've been way too much of a wildcard, and you've been alive for way too long. Your play has shifted between town and scummy, and meta can only keep you alive for so long. This is a lynch we should've made D1, but it's better late than never.

"Meta can only keep you alive for so long".

What?
What?
What?

So assuming I am COMPLETELY consistent with my town meta, lynch me anyway cause you dont like the way I play.

Seriously thats what Im getting. You dont think Im scum, you just dont like the way Im playing.
Dont do that.


Your only defense is meta? You realize that a good scum player can change his meta to look town?


I'm reading Oats scum game in LIX now. Not being offensive here, but a good scum player is not what I would define him as.

Hes too helpful, non-confrontational, and he gives off zero reads.

That's about the polar opposite to Oats here.


Seriously, go take a look at that game, then come back and look at this one.

Reading Dr Who, Oats is passive-aggressive, and again, cagey as hell with reads. Hell everyone is Null. Null null null.

He doesn't even call his 'targets' scum. Just implies they were doing nothing. Granted he did that a bit to me here, but he was very happy to call me scum several times.

As opposed to this game, hes calling DP and Hapa scum after about... 6 hours game time and has already voted Cora for 'being stupid'.

Night and day difference.

You've done almost zero to look town this game. That's why you are going to die.

Town, you have 2 options:

1. Convince Coag to vote GK
2. Follow my lynch preference.

It's that simple, have fun.


Holding the town hostage and being completely closed off to reason is pretty shitty.

Your reads have to be fluid and change in light of what is going on!

Deciding reads on D1 and then lynching into them regardless of any new developments in the thread is just stubborn and shortsighted. It relies entirely on your early game being so exceptional that you can bust the entire scum team from a single flip. I can count the number of times I've seen that happen on one hand and I've been here a damn long time! We've done this exact dance before in Duel, except this time its Oats instead of Sylencia.



Back on point: what the fuck is OO doing. Again I call him useless and he doesn't even respond, he comes in, drops his vote on GK and then bails out - completely avoiding contribution. He still hasn't delivered anything resembling a read that I asked him for.

Oats, Sloosh, and Adam are all the furthest from town on the spectrum so I will probably have to take a look at each of them again. Oats I've written off as town based mostly on his town meta, Sloosh I originally gave a town read for because I could see exactly where he was coming from regarding my slot among other things, Adam had a super strong start outside of his vote but I don't hold the vote against him as it was made in haste so I need to do a comb-over for his content. Somewhere in here that has to be a motive for blocking Cora.

There you go, that's where I'm headed.


His last post of any substance he says that Oats, Sloosh and Me are all the furthest from town on the spectrum, yet we never hear back about why sloosh is not so town anymore, nor does he comment on me. He throws out some random post on Oats and Cora from D1 and then he jumps on a GK vote.

So OO, time to step up. You are just plodding along with thread sentiment this game and doing absolutely nothing constructive. Your egregious lack of scum hunting and general effort this game has run its course. Put your apparent confirmed status to work, get in here and make a case on all 3 of those players you consider the furthest from town.

That's about the most bias analysis I've ever seen.

Its filled with complete conjecture and speculation. The only concrete thing you have in there is that I had no confidence in my reads, which is something I freely admitted. That does not make me scum in any way, shape or form.

Like this is very hypocritical.

What is the most recent thing to happen in thread? GK flipped town. Ok, so we know that the very close D1 DP-GK lynch was between scum and town. Who is the first person that Adam goes after? OO, who was one of the main components of DP.


Oats I need your reviewed read of Adam, or whoever you want to lynch tomorrow.


How is that hypocritical. My reads have changed and that evolution process is present in my filter.

With the information that GK was town, and Oats is someone I now have a solid meta read on, I turn and look at everyone else in the game. Because clearly things are not as simple as they seem.

OO cites my lack of confidence in scum reads as a reason why i'm scum. Here's a better explanation: I'm town and all the people I was looking at were town! we've flipped 2/3 of them and they've both been damn town. GEE, no wonder I wasn't confident about finding scum in there.

What is your aversion to me pressing OO? If i'm wrong then his towniness will shine through and ill move along.

Oats, I still have no interest in lynching you. The fact that you're paranoid that I'm going to come after you is disappointing, but not unexpected.

If you guys think that lynching the person that has gone against thread sentiment since the moment he got into the game is a good idea, then you're either scum or stupid. You can check your role PM to find out which. While everyone else was content sitting back doing absolutely nothing, I was still working to solve this game.

I can only conclude that there is some kind of 2nd family or 3rd party at work here to explain why OO and DP went at each other so hard, yet OO still acts scummy as fuck.

I don't think a townie would ragequit in a way that makes himself look this townie, therefore its a scumclaim. Read that again if you have to. I do not buy this explanation one bit.


Look at his attitude towards me. He has been hammering me since I got in here, and utterly refuses to listen to anything I put forward about why I am not scum, nor does he listen to why other people think I might be town. I gave a legitimate response for why I was not playing up to my Duel mafia standards, for which he had no rebuttal. He then uses the same argument again as a reason I am scum when discussing with OO. This kind of blatant disregard for anything coming out of your targets mouth is scummy. You know they're making a point that you cant argue, but you keep harping on it anyway. The one time he shows some form of insecurity in his read towards me? The post he votes me in. That is scummy. If you're sure I'm scum, as he damn well appears to be, drop your vote, call me scum and start convincing everyone else of your viewpoint. Instead, its this:

"Last time I tunneled someone to death against what everyone was saying they flipped town. Is that happening again?"

This attitude does not gel with voting someone. He's apparently reconsidering yet voting to kill me in the same post. Inconsistent. Scummy.


I already went over this before but ill go over it again. I called him out for not having a vote for me. He felt insecure and the need to correct that perceived wrong so he slapped his vote down as soon as he could. One minute later, he's saying "Votes dont matter man", so why did he vote in the first place if they don't matter! He realized he made a mistake and tried to downplay it. If he felt votes didn't matter, he would have responded to my first post with "it doesn't matter now, ill vote you later in the day after the discussion is over", but that isn't what happened.

Could you rephrase this sentence please Oats? I don't understand.

Right now I'm still finding myself siding with Oats over Adam. Oats is right in that the things that Adam are bringing up aren't that substantive. The only thing against Oats is this GK thing, but I can guess a town motivation which would fit with Oats, so just waiting for him to say it I guess.

In anycase I have to bounce for now.

If after that day we still have nothing, we happily go back to voting each other and then town can flip one of us. Deal?

It's not even that I think you're scum at this point. It's that I have such a hard time believing that anyone else could be scum.

Like on behavior, this conversation gives me town vibes with both you and Adam. If so, then who's scum?

Do we spite-lynch GK tomorrow then cross our fingers?


My thoughts exactly. This conversation is actually flowing quite naturally.

So then I consider maybe a traitor that inadvertently bussed DP on D1 without knowing it. But does a roleblocking traitor even make sense?! Someone roleblocked Cora and they're not claiming it.

Something hinkey is happening in this game, I felt it on D2 when Shiao and GK both looked town and im getting it again now.


In the above, I start to consider that he is legitimately town and my tunnel was completely wrong.

Day 3 starts, Hapa dies. Then oats gets bumrushed by the entire thread.

Kinda a pain, as that means between Hapa, Oats, Adam, Shao, you need to determine one you absolutely believe to be townie in determining the last scum. Sadly, I would say Adam is someone I like more than the other three right now.


What possible scum motivation could I have for trying to defend someone who's just openly declared that they'd lynch me at lylo as opposed to the inactive who's flirting with a modkill that's just called me the most townie of the lynch bait. There isn't one. As scum, I'm taking GK to the next round there every day of the week. I pushed to keep Oats alive (YOURE WELCOME), because I wanted ACTIVE posters that were still here and playing the game.




My read on ShiaoPi:

Mhmm, this is exactly what I was afraid of.

I do not think a scum ShiaoPi would be giving me a town read of right here. Nor was I expecting GK to do it when he did, if he were actually scum.

Something fucking fishy going on this game.

I find ShiaoPi to be more likely town for two reasons:

His interactions with Rayn and his posting on D2.

Rayn shoots down ShiaoPi's case against GK, pretty handily dismisses it because it is poorly applied meta:

The post I did was in order to verify if my impression of yamatos play is shared by everyone or at least some of the other players. so no that post was not only for the sake of saying something.

Because that is what yamato does (at least in my memory)? Yes, it does not help anyone to determine his alignment right now, but what did you expect, words of wisdom in every post I do on day 1? It's just something to keep in mind.

I am thinking you are blowing this way out of proportion


When have you played with yamato that has given you this impression?


Cannot pin point it to a certain game right now, would have to look in his game history again, but it is more I always feel like wanting to shoot him for some posts he does. take it as you want, I am really dont feel like like searching for specifics right now.

Now on GK:
The case on oats is bad since I have not seen anything really alignment indicative from oats right now. gk is just using oats playstyle against him to look contributing and scumhunting, usual scum motivation stuff. His play also feels a lot like I swear this is normal mini mafia, which just ended recently and where I and gk were scum. (minus the inactive replacement shenanis)
Also gk is most surely familiar with oats' play so taking this "easy" target is something I think is clearly scummotivated

The case on Oats is bad for sure. I'm just trying to figure out if it's scum!GK or town!GK doing this. You seem to be sure of him being scum because you have voted for him. It does not matter if GK has done this as scum, the question you did not answer is do you have evidence that he has not done this as town? Is your meta-case valid or not?


I think mainly based on gut feeling and comparison with the last game as scum we had together. Cant remember the last time goodkarma rolled town with me playing as well.
Also you just objectively judged that the case is terribad, so why do you need so much meta? Meta is much more of a helpful factor in my opinion not necessarily the argument to get somebody lynched. So I see gk doing that case on oats which is scummy as shit and then compare it to his play in I swear, I think its similar so it reinforces my scumread on him...
To be honest I don't even know what your problem is

My problem is that you are voting for GK based on meta, because he once made a bad case against someone as scum. Guess what? Townies make bad cases too, especially early on in the game. I am not saying i think GK is town, but you seem to be so sure he is scum because of this meta you are describing, especially when you are under attack from some people now.

If you are going to make a meta case at least get your facts straight. Look at Les Mafia, look at GK's case on me and tell me that the case GK made can only come from a scum!GK.
.

I don't think this is scum v scum talk. If it were, shutting down his case effectively forces him to go and jump on another bandwagon, increasing the chances he's going to draw attention to himself. Why would you bother? this case may have taken off, it almost did. GK almost died D1.


On D2, ShiaoPi comes in less confident in his read on GK:

Ok I am caught up now. But mostly just skimmed the thread.Will be doing some rereading/filterdiving next. let me just post this on GK right now, since it looks like most of you want to lynch either him or me.

On Goodkarma:
I am really really torn on him right now. On Day 1 I was pretty sure that he was scum. Currently not so much anymore, there are still posts, which make me go, well that's scumGK, but there is also stuff that makes me want to think him town.
First off on the sucm tally we got his entire scumhunting effort. I don't remember playing a game with him where he was town, but I kept hearing from several people in I swear and here that he needs time to get started but is then a good townplayer in his own right. I just do not see it here. His cases have been pretty fucking trash. But posts like these:

I'll also state that I think Cora is really, really townie.

There are certain people that are off-limits for scum to attack (obvious townies, etc), because scum fundamentally want to blend in.

So when Cora is going off and being suspicious of players like OO, sloOsh, and Ange, that's 100% paranoid townie. Suspicions like that attract attention like crazy, and scum really just want to play along.



I'm inclined to agree with you Hapa.

The more telling thing there is that Cora has a mod-confirmed RB, and having soft-claimed blue, I find it much more likely scum would feel inclined to do this than town.

I agree on Oats too. I honestly don't have much more to say there.

Those on the DP wagon are still likely town. So that leaves you, me, Adam, and Shao.

Everything you've done recently has me inclined to believe you're town. You are just soooo much involved in trying to solve this game I find it very hard to believe you're faking it as scum.

Adam also I believe to be town, as he shows an active involvement in the game.

I'm obvtown.

That ONLY LEAVES Shao. By process of elimination, Shao must be the last scum.

##Vote: Shao


Also exist. They are pretty townie (even if wrong on me) on the mentality side of the game. Because largely based on elimination I also ended up with only him left, if we just go with face value of how things went down so far. Ergo if we do not assume some crazy plays with bussing on d1 for no reason etc.

Having said this I am perfectly fine to trade with GK, so just lynch me first to get my town flip and then go kill him.
Just wanted to post this before I go rereading




Even so far as to say he uses a townie mentality. Put yourself in his position here. There's probably two other viable lynches today other than himself. GK and Me. Oats hes already called town previously. I don't think scum are going to come back into the thread, call their main tunnel all game probably town, then look at the next obvious target (me) and say that he's giving off town vibes. It just doesn't leave you any options.
He freely admits that this doesn't leave him any solid targets, agreeing with my 'being lostness'. What is his endgame with this strategy if he's scum? He's just going to call everyone town and hope they forget about him? We're all probably getting lynched at some point, its just a matter of what order, as GK has pointed out.

His willingness to reexamine Sloosh and OO is townie thoroughness/paranoia after he concludes i'm possibly town and he doesn't like any of the options in this group. As was his paranoia towards hapa.

I think what happened here was both GK and ShiaoPi came into this game with their previous scum adventures fresh on their minds, and got a case of confirmation bias on each other and went tunneling. I did the exact same thing with Cyber_Cheese in Mafia L after our first scum game.

I do not think he is scum.


I call ShiaoPi town. Firstly, I highlighted this in this paragraph that ive quoted already, but what the heck reason would I have to do this as scum? I've just called every other lynch bait mislynch around me town. That only serves to limit my options for later potential mislynches.

Then..:

Last scum...
I don't think it's Oats. It's definitely not GK.

It might be Adam, but his posting just sounds so terrible in his scum-games, and he seems interested in figuring out the game right now. Even if he's barking up the wrong tree with Oats, his suspicions are basically what happens when someone plays with Oats the first time.

I think it's Shiao. His recent push on GK (in spite of the towniest martyr ever) is troublesome. Also his transition from "fuck me I'm lost I guess I'll vote GK cause he's my only possible lead" to -----> OMG GK claimed JK he scumscum doesn't strike me as organic.

Dude, morale is a huge part of the game. Maybe it's your personality, maybe it's because you replaced in, maybe it's because you are on the chopping block, and maybe it's the vice versa for the rest of the crew, but being lazy doesn't necessitate scum.

And lynching based off activity levels is foolish. And lynching based of arbitrary levels of effort is also foolish.

Since when does something like motivation trump reason? I bet you, if you asked all the players after D2 that if you could choose to win or lose the game by simultaneously lynching into Hapa / Adam / Oats / GK, every single person would have taken that deal. And I bet if you ask each person that same question now, they would still take it.

What's more to give? What's more to do? It's all said and done. If you want to off GK first, honestly, I'm not that adverse to it.

OK, We've gone over that logical line a thousand times and it keeps bringing us back to the same place. The place where our reads conflict with our logic.

If everyone on the apparent confirmed DP wagon is town, then use that 'confirmed' status instead of posting once a day! If everyone on there is town, theyll have nothing to hide about us poking around and asking questions.

Instead I am getting "NO YOUR GETTING LYNCHED SOON, STOP QUESTIONING THE RULING ELITE AND DIE QUIETLY"

Its bullshit.


The fact that I have continually challenged the idea that the scum was in the initial pool of 'non confirmed' and have been fighting against this idea since about day 3. I can tell you exactly what I would be doing right now if I were scum. I'd have been feeding you guys mislynch after mislynch of all of these lynchbaits, not calling them town.




I don't think I have taken an easy position since I got here. Its tiring and frankly I'm spent. Sick of arguing that someone is town only to be proven right with each successive mislynch. Add on top of that, the complete lack of critical thinking or ability to reconsider what everyone is taking for granted. Hence why I peaced out.

My death is looking all but certain right now.

Sloosh, the fact that you're still asking me to put content in the thread rather than just laying dormant until my death means that you're probably town, among other things I liked in your filter.

Assuming this game even goes another cycle after I die, have a complete reread of my filter before the end of the night phase.

I cant explain it. Nothing points to any of those things, yet I firmly believe Oats is town, and I know I am. Therefore, something does not add up.

Yeah, you didn't need to claim there

Being on the wrong side of that lynch was not awful, especially considering the company around you (Hapa, Marv).

That and half the town had you as town still just through your meta and attitude. Was a bit of an overreaction but considering your role, nothing really changed.


If you are going to claim, do it during the day, when you've already got half a dozen votes piled on you, but there's still at least 12 hours until the lynch. Anything before that is premature in my opinion.

I kind of just wanted to see what happened.

Plus I wanted him dead before LYLO. Turns out, I wasn't out of line with that thinking.

Then I decided to actually start playing the game.

I could have easily let you die the day we lynched GK. Fortunately for you, I actually wanted to win.

I was killed for having an unpopular opinion. That's what 'got me killed'.

Hapa was already dead the day we lynched GK.

I spent the whole day campaigning to keep you alive, managed to convince sloosh to switch, then coag followed suit.

Then you voted me the next morning anyway :S.

I didn't want to prevent my death. I was HOPING that after I died, that might legitimize my reads so you guys might take another look at OO. Wishful thinking on my behalf.
