EBWOP: It was inevitable. Read if you have time, or if it applies to you. Basically, if you think Onegu or Spicy are scum, I gave you homework regarding their defenses of fyfy. You can use the filters or control-F 'fyfy' if you want to break it down on your own.
|
Ugh, it wasn't a Case on Tofu. Tofu did what a lot of other players would do: Poke the Lurker. If you're seriously considering Tofu as scum, read his filter and make a proper case.
The juice of my abortion of a post is that Onegu and Spicy defended fyfy almost immediately. And this is not scum-play to me.
|
They also cited StiM (a scum suspect in my eyes for much of the game) as a better target. At face value, these things are mutually exclusive.
Either Spicy OR Onegu are town and thought StiM's lurking deserved more pressure than fyfy (<----- MOST LIKELY SCENARIO) OR
Spicy OR Onegu are scum, defended an early Town poke, AND StiM is not Mafia (<----- That's a lot of leaps)

I have not reviewed Spicy's filter yet. I'm going through hz's right now. My current read on Spicy is town.
|
(Quick note, Spicy definitely defended fyfy from Tofu for WAY longer than any sane person would have, much less a mafia. Based on that encounter, Spicy is supertown. I didn't manage to quote the entire exchange in the broken case post, but if you don't believe me, it's pretty easy to find. Just control-F 'Hitler' and work your way backwards.)

hz looks pretty town despite his wierd logic because there's really no reason for scum to draw suspicion to themselves by switching that late as the lynch was already secure.
Same thing for Alaka, less confident on that.
I don't follow. hz looks town because he did something suspicious? We can save this discussion for Day 2 if you think the information is sensitive, but don't let me forget this point, Chromatically.

Just finished hz's filter. The town consensus is that he's very pro-town. I don't see it as quite that clear-cut, but I will defer to the town's judgement. He had some pro-town stuff leading up to the Xzavier lynch, but he's also had a couple of real head-scratchers. I won't quote them unless asked, because I want to reiterate that I don't think he's scum and I don't think investigating hz is a productive use of our time right now.
I have yet to go over Onegu's filter, but his upcoming morning mega-post will go a long way in helping me decide his alignment. I'm not ready to crucify him JUST for saying he thinks Alakaslam is the scummiest player on the board while Xzavier and Aqua were also Top 3 (which is what his apathy regarding the Day One vote boiled down to). His reads will help me decide.

Furthermore, my preliminary assessment of Alakaslam speaks to an SK mindset. I will go into further detail when it becomes applicable on Day 2. To be honest I dont care who is killed if Xzavier flips town my vote will go on aquanim and if he flips scum I will vote Spicydinosaur. My current read on Xzavier is null with scum reads on alakaslam and aqua. With every post Alakaslam makes he looks more and more like noob scum to me. So he doesn't care about the lynch, even though he thinks that Aqua is scummier. Why wouldn't he vote Aqua, and why doesn't a townie care about the lynch in the first place? If Onegu was scum, however, he wouldn't care whether Aqua or Xzav are lynched as he knows that they're both town. He also wouldn't want to have his vote on one of them when they flipped because it would draw suspicion to himself. Side note: this works just as well if Aqua is scum. Onegu wouldn't want to vote Aqua because they're scumbuddies and doesn't want to be on the mislynch wagon. Thoughts?
@Onegu
Please address the bottom part of this post. A clear, honest answer would really help your case right now.

This can be explained as a difference of playstyle. You have been recently accused of not doing everything in your power to save Xzavier from lynch when you thought he was town. Tofu is demonstrating what he's willing to do to save someone he thinks is Town from a lynch.

As I said it didnt matter to me who was killed because I had a scum read on Aqua and a null read on xzavier but depending on how he fliped would focus my day 2 targets, I have said all along I want to lynch Aqua and still do. I cannot make a good case on him but I am trying and keep looking things over. But saying I didnt vote him because I am scum buddies is dumb, If not tofu today and it is between anyone and aqua my vote will go on aqua. But at this point firmtofu I can make a much stronger case on him.
I don't think you're scumbuddies. I think Aqua is town. I'm confused by your actions. If I saw two wagons forming, one on a Townie and one on someone I thought was Scum, I'd get on that Scum bandwagon no matter what it looked like to make sure the right man dies. I can say this with confidence because it's exactly what I did. If you were town, that's the behavior I'd expect. I could see how maybe if you thought both xzavier and aqua were town or both were scum you could justify your apathy. But having different reads on the two main wagons, and just letting them roll by you baffles me. In a bad way.

Remember that scum KNEW that Xzavier would not flip mafia. Why in the world would they get on a wagon that they knew would not flip mafia? Logic dictates that their best course of action would be to say they think Xzavier is town, but NOT ACTUALLY TRY TO PREVENT THE LYNCH. Who are the people who did that? Onegu SpicyDinosaur Alakaslam You This is why this group of people is high on my scum list.
No, I meant what I said. I was addressing Spicy. Spicy is under suspicion because apparently he didn't defend Xzavier hard enough when he was a town read and one of the leading wagons:
From Chromatically: "What I don't like (and this is a general statement about Spicy, Stim, and Onegu) is that when your vote is not on a leading wagon, you should be doing your ABSOLUTE BEST to push your read. This is especially true if you have a town read on the leader. A townie would do everything that they can to prevent a mislynch.
Spicy defends Xzav a little, but then drops it"
Tofu defended Aqua using every weapon available because he thought Aqua was town.

hz in general is not making sense to me right now.
If he thinks this constitutes a real lynch defense of a wagon subject, he's dreaming:

Next to add their vote was Chromatically. Despite my earlier attack, Chrom has been looking more and more town to me. The only reason that I can see a scum Chrom voting Xzavier when he did is if Aqua is also scum, and everyone thought that idea was ridiculous. Therefore, I expect most of you see Chrom as town and the first two people on the wagon as town.
Aqua was the third to vote. Most of you think Aqua is town. That means most of you must think that the first 3 people on the wagon are town.
Is that not odd to anyone? If three townies jump on a scum wagon then there should of been a counter play by the scum team by now. And yet I started the Aqua wagon and I am posting this. It does not make sense. There was a counter play! The scum saw that you had already started a vote on Aqua and used that as an opportunity to draw attention away from Xzavier. While I strongly believe you are town because you were the one to start the lynch with some pretty good analysis, I do not believe that the other people pursuing the Aqua wagon are free from blame. The fact that they jumped on Aqua right after Xzavier's bandwagon was gaining momentum is indicative of this fact.

Because if everyone on the Xzavier wagon was town, then the mafia team is Onegu, Spicy and Stim.

First few? Let's try to be as specific as possible. I hate treating individuals under suspicion as a collective. Hz suspects one or more of the following people is Scum:
LoneMeow, Chromatically, Aquanim, FirmTofu, Hurricane Sponge.
(After my vote, and Onegu's declaration that he will not be moving his off Alakaslam, the wagon reached maximum velocity)

I wish Onegu had better reasoning for his vote apathy. If he's town, that's a stupid stupid stupid play. (Much like Xzavier's town play was really really stupid.) I went through Onegu's filter last night and he's generally town, but a townie's one power is their vote, and this play is really bad. I'm trying to separate myself from bias because he keeps making cases on people I think are town.

You're using a lot of generalizations. Your arguments become much stronger when you stop using words like 'everyone' to describe individual actions. If you can find instances of each person's attack on Onegu and pokes on Spicy, they will be forced to respond. This post in its current state is very ignore-able (not because it lacks merit, but because there's little pressure being exerted due to the wording).
|
For what it's worth, I do not hold it against FirmTofu for misleading me to get me on the Xzavier bandwagon. I'd expect anyone who was trying to lynch their Scum read to do whatever it takes at a crucial time in the vote to secure the win. For context: the vote was tied, and there was reason to believe Onegu would join the Aqua bandwagon. By getting one vote up FIRST, Xzavier's bandwagon would win the time-sensitive tie-breaker.
You can see this fits FirmTofu's aggressive playstyle later when he bullies Alakaslam into committing to the Onegu bandwagon. Is it dirty play? Yes. Would I have done it? No. Did it cross my mind? Yes. But I can TOTALLY see it as legitimate town play. If you are confident in your reads, you make these plays.
This should not read as a defense of FirmTofu as town. I equate this playstyle issue to people getting on Aqua for revealing his opinions on the NN reveal. It's a difference of opinion, but has no bearing on alignment. These issues are both null to me. I'll seriously consider cases against FirmTofu that don't center on 'well he lied and manipulated two floaters into voting for his wagon'.

This is an extremely stupid thing to say before the NK.
