No you didn't answer it bro.

You said "Now that everyone has posted he can post his role PM".

I don't see your reasoning behind this. How are other posts in any way relevant to marv being able to post his PM?

That doesn't change the fact that marv did the same thing as scum in another game, and as Oats pointed out, in all of this you keep assuming that marv is town. He did the same 17 minutes into the game in the other game.

Ok 2 things here.
1. Rayn is scum for instantly taking marv as modconfirmed town.
2. Marv is null for doing this as scum before.


If Rayn is scum marv is likely town imo.

This exudates so much confidence into marv being town that I don't see it coming from scum about scum.

well yeah Im just saying that Rayn isnt scum for not knowing about previous game where marv fakeclaimed miller and replaced out.


Rayn is scummy for his unnatural confidence into marv being town.
Followed by him not adapting his opinion to the new information posted about marv and using whatever he can to justify his unjustified townread.

What we have in Rayn is probably a scum seeing a townie claim and immediately taking sides for the townie.
From a scum point of view, claiming townies seem to be in a strong position, especially when they know that their team will not counterclaim the townie.
They will usually try to pick the right side rather than fighting the claim, scum loves to be on the right side.
They feel it's going to earn them trust if they simply take the claim at face value and move on to other stuff, defending the townie against other people's doubts, expecting to look like they were right.

A lot of Rayn's reasoning for marv being town stems from the fact that he assumes that there can't be two millers.
That is fallacious, and a scumslip, Lazermonkey fell for the same mistake, as I will show you (also notice that Lazermonkey pointed out some of Rayn's mistakes but doesn't pursue him as scumread).

1. Rayn quickly thought post-claim that two millers weren't possible.

  • 6 minutes later he says marv would not fakeclaim as scum
  • 20 minutes later he says there can't be two millers


Implication:

It's possible I guess. I don't think it's worth speculating about until another miller claims.

Lazermonkey's vote on WoS gives me a townie feeling. Any differing opinions? Do you agree?Yes? Why?

This is how i see it:
marv claimed before iGrok announced the cop is in fact a parity cop. In case the cop was normal and as there is no GF, it's fair that there is one miller. Two millers make the game insanely hard for a cop, and with two miller claims town might run in circles finding which of the millers is "mafia". As for parity cop, having two millers ease up the game much. If the parity cop is stupid enough to not check marv on N1, they still can check the other miller claim on N2 (as if marv is town he will die on N1) and use that to confirm his earlier and future checks.

If there is no cop there is no point in having millers. One might be okay in the sense that it fucks with the town, but not too much. Two millers and no cop is basically impossible.

marv would not claim miller in either scenario because there is no need to.
So that's why i think marv is town and there is exactly 1 miller.

I agree that Lazer is probably town. His opening post was careless and i don't think he would have done that as scum. His vote on WoS is good as WoS is probably scum. :D

What do you think about Stutters? Mainly his posts about the miller thing. They are really really bad.


Let's dissect this:

1. Rayn says only one miller is possible with standard cop (don't even know why he mentioned this as it's unrelated)
2. Rayn says two millers make the game too easy for parity cop coz he can prime his check on one N2 if the other dies N1 (lolz)
3. Rayn says only one miller is possible with no cop. Also no miller is possible.

And he says: THAT'S WHY MARV IS TOWN (cause two millers are unlikely)

This question arises:

It sticks out that in all of this, Rayn never considers that town could have no miller.
Why does Rayn not consider that town has no miller?
Cause he first gave marv full credit (too quickly, knowing that the claim must be true) and now has to justify it.
Cause he knew that marv's claim was true, and hence had trouble imagining things from a perspective where town could have no miller.

Futhermore:

EBWOP: To expand on that, what is it that makes you think that marv is to bright to fake claim miller in this game despite having done so in another game. The claim was risky in that game, just as the hypothetical fake claim would be in this game. Still you say there cannot be a possibilty that Marv is scum in this game.


On June 30 2013 09:51 raynpelikoneet wrote:
The fact that there is a rolename for each possible miller. If you fakeclaim, you take a 50% chance of 1-1 trade as mafia, which is not good 5min into D1.

There is lot to talk about. Stutters and WoS are scummy. Do you agree? We talk about marv more when he posts more.


Rayn was well aware of the fact that millers have names. And yet he said that marv would not have claimed miller cause a guy with the same name would have gotten one of them lynched. BUT MARV NEVER CLAIMED HIS NAME, and Rayn never asked him for it.
This shows that Rayn had the intention to defend marv, not that he was figuring out his alignment genuinely.

For us, it means that today we should lynch Rayn imo.

I also mentioned that Lazer made the same mistake in not assuming the genuine perspective, here:

On June 30 2013 07:25 Lazermonkey wrote:
Regarding the the possibilties of there being two millers in the setup.

First off, I'm going to make the assumption that there are only three scum in this game. Secondly, looking at the roles in possible for scum you can see that the only one power role in our beloved friend Adolf "the roleblocker." Hitler. Now, assuming there is only 1 Hitler (which I don't think is a very bold assumption) the most powerfull scum team is in theory goon x2 + GF, a relativly weak team. Having two millers vs this team, even without additional blue roles, honestly seems kinda OP as you would either get into a postion with 2 modconfirmed townies D1 or a group of 3 people where you know for sure that one is scum. So, once again assuming (-.-)that the game is fairly balanced I don't think there are two millers.

And the conclusion you should draw from this is that Marvs claim probably means he is town.


Knowing that marv is town, he didn't assume that there could be no miller.

?

Lazer says marv is probably town cause there can only be 1 miller.
And that while knowing that he fakeclaimed miller in another game.

I can look it up myself I guess:


rofl what's this? An accusation? Now if i was mafia how would i know how many millers there are in the game?
Also could you answer the quesions about Lazer/WoS?


Actually no, Stutters' last post makes no sense from town point of view.
##Vote: Stutters



What do you think about Stutters? Mainly his posts about the miller thing. They are really really bad.


On June 30 2013 07:22 Stutters695 wrote:
Why are they bad?


So basically, what makes Rayn so townie is that he asks a question you don't answer, votes for you, and asks me to look at you.

Then, when so many agree on you looking bad, he switches to WoS, asking us to find the reason, I still don't see him mentioning that reason by himself in his filter.

So basically, you, his first scumread, never answered his question (which you could do now btw). He proceeds to drop a vote on WoS, then is busy defending himself, but nevertheless he doesn't try to find reasons for you or WoS to be decent lynches.

So yeah, I kinda have trouble seeing how his reaction is so townie in your opinion.

Happy birthday by the way.

Rayn has been all like

"Marv totes town"
"There can't be two millers"
"Marv wouldn't claim neither with cop or with no cop coz only one miller"
"Since there can only be one miller marv must be town"
"Marv doesn't fakeclaim 5 minutes into D1" (only 17 minutes in another game)

But never like

"Oh look marv fakeclaimed early in another game maybe he could be scum in this one"
"Oh I don't think there can't be two millers, but maybe there is none either"
"Well marv didn't say his name cause the counterclaimer would have to say his name first and if it was the same as marv's we would lynch the counterclaimer" (Completely dismissing the fact that if marv's claim is fake he can simply claim the other available name and still be safe)

That. Why the sudden change of mind from going me = town -> me = scum with no new posts from me, and before that you seemed to understand me. You just "reviewed" the situation. Why did you not look at it closely in the first place?


Coz I was drunk and tired lol.

I reread the thread and saw things in a new light while I was analyzing your post after Oats asked me to take a look at you.

Are people scum for changing their mind? Even when they go in depth about their reasons?
Is anyone who misses something at first and then changes his view -on his own- scum?

Looks pretty much like you're just grasping at straws.

Rayn can you talk scumreads please?
Your actions with this miller thing will not be undone by talking more about it.

Who do we lynch today?

Stutters came, saw and went away. Wasn't he your scumread earlier?

What about WoS, what's this thing you saw that made him scummy?

With above facts, it would be very easy to draw the conclusion that marv is not scum beuse if he were, there is a high chance he could get counter claimed. When I then looked at the other game, I found out that marv did in fact claim miller as scum in a game where 2 millers were almost impossible but 1 was quite likely, just like this game. Thats why I changed my mind.

But even ignoring that, its BS to say that someone is scum just because they are convinced that someone is town.


Counter claim chance in the other game was 60 or 40 %, don't remember which one, I think that's fairly high and also applies to this game.

What matters though is that you said marv would be likely town cause two millers are unlikely, dismissing the option that there could be no miller, like Rayn did.

It's not bullshit to assume someone is scum cause they are convinced someone is town.
If someone gives a town read without proper reasons then it's indicative that they knew their alignment beforehand.

You and Rayn clearly didn't look at this matter from the perspective of someone who sees a miller claim and thinks "Oh ok he did it in some other game, I'll judge him by his play then".

You say "Oh he claimed he must be town then" (You not as much as Rayn, but you said to Rayn that you agree on marv being probably town and then decided for it once you concluded that two millers are impossible).

And when you got gunned for reasons you constructed pretty strange explanations for your reads.

In case that anyone didn't read my case yet, I urge you to go through it and at least comment on it:

Cause he first gave marv full credit (too quickly, knowing that the claim must be true) and now has to justify it.
Cause he knew that marv's claim was true, and hence had trouble imagining things from a perspective where town could have no miller.

There is lot to talk about. Stutters and WoS are scummy. Do you agree? We talk about marv more when he posts more.


Rayn was well aware of the fact that millers have names. And yet he said that marv would not have claimed miller cause a guy with the same name would have gotten one of them lynched. BUT MARV NEVER CLAIMED HIS NAME, and Rayn never asked him for it.
This shows that Rayn had the intention to defend marv, not that he was figuring out his alignment genuinely.

For us, it means that today we should lynch Rayn imo.

I also mentioned that Lazer made the same mistake in not assuming the genuine perspective, here:

First off, I'm going to make the assumption that there are only three scum in this game. Secondly, looking at the roles in possible for scum you can see that the only one power role in our beloved friend Adolf "the roleblocker." Hitler. Now, assuming there is only 1 Hitler (which I don't think is a very bold assumption) the most powerfull scum team is in theory goon x2 + GF, a relativly weak team. Having two millers vs this team, even without additional blue roles, honestly seems kinda OP as you would either get into a postion with 2 modconfirmed townies D1 or a group of 3 people where you know for sure that one is scum. So, once again assuming (-.-)that the game is fairly balanced I don't think there are two millers.

And the conclusion you should draw from this is that Marvs claim probably means he is town.


Knowing that marv is town, he didn't assume that there could be no miller.

JarJar, question for you.

Rayn gave Lazer a townread as reaction to me doing the same.
Why did you call Rayn out but not me?

piggybacking, flip-flopping, wishy-washy, buddying, recycling

banning these reasons from your cases will dramatically improve your scumhunting, it will actually put you in need to explain how people's actions make them scum in detail.

You don't do that just by putting their play into a category labeled "scummy"

Yeah, 12 minutes of difference between the two games is a pretty big reason.

Rayn having completely different opinions on miller claims in two different games with similar setups is totally not scummy.

Why can't any of you understand that as the millers have role-names, it's too fucking risky to claim miller as mafia??!?!?!?!?

If there was another miller claim, who is to say marv gets to say his role name last? Me? Certainly not. If someone had cc'd him i would totally have him claim his role name first
, because marv has balls to do something like this. Not counting the fact that it's incredibly stupid, and no other miller claims proves even more that i am right in what i have said.

No it's not. Fakeclaiming miller 5min into the game is dumb and unnecessary as scum and if someone was dumb enough to fakeclaim after marv we had a 50% chance to right out catch them by having them post the role PM first.


Other than that, I'm very interested in how your stutters read developed. You went from calling him scum early to stop talking about him (it was ME who asked him about the question YOU found scummy) and then casually saying you think his posting looked genuine, later.

Could you portray your thought process for your change of read on stutters, in detail?

No Vivax, i asked about the question from Stutters. Why are you pushing fake evidence? I fucking asked about it right after he posted.


Yeah you asked it in the start, after calling him out.
You didn't give a shit about stutters after you posted your case and he came back to the thread.

What my point here is, is that you didn't pursue him when you had the chance to.
When your question went unanswered after stutters came back, it was me pointing it out, although I don't recall the timing of your comeback, nor can I know it.

I don't see interactions from you with stutters.

But when Oats asks you for your read on him while both of us gunned you, you said this:

I don't know, he has been asked a lot of questions which he "will answer when he has more time" but instead every time he posts he posts something else.


1:45 later you say this:

Stutters' posting style and explanations feel genuine and i'm slightly leaning town on him.

With above facts, it would be very easy to draw the conclusion that marv is not scum beuse if he were, there is a high chance he could get counter claimed. When I then looked at the other game, I found out that marv did in fact claim miller as scum in a game where 2 millers were almost impossible but 1 was quite likely, just like this game. Thats why I changed my mind.

But even ignoring that, its BS to say that someone is scum just because they are convinced that someone is town.


Counter claim chance in the other game was 60 or 40 %, don't remember which one, I think that's fairly high and also applies to this game.

What matters though is that you said marv would be likely town cause two millers are unlikely, dismissing the option that there could be no miller, like Rayn did.

It's not bullshit to assume someone is scum cause they are convinced someone is town.
If someone gives a town read without proper reasons then it's indicative that they knew their alignment beforehand.

You and Rayn clearly didn't look at this matter from the perspective of someone who sees a miller claim and thinks "Oh ok he did it in some other game, I'll judge him by his play then".

You say "Oh he claimed he must be town then" (You not as much as Rayn, but you said to Rayn that you agree on marv being probably town and then decided for it once you concluded that two millers are impossible).

And when you got gunned for reasons you constructed pretty strange explanations for your reads.

In case that anyone didn't read my case yet, I urge you to go through it and at least comment on it:

Apologies, mistook that for another defense of marv's claim (Interpreted it as: Marv would have had a 50 % chance of getting counterclaimed and dying).

That doesn't change the fact that marv did the same thing as scum in another game, and as Oats pointed out, in all of this you keep assuming that marv is town. He did the same 17 minutes into the game in the other game.

Ok 2 things here.
1. Rayn is scum for instantly taking marv as modconfirmed town.
2. Marv is null for doing this as scum before.


If Rayn is scum marv is likely town imo.

This exudates so much confidence into marv being town that I don't see it coming from scum about scum.
if someone was dumb enough to fakeclaim after marv

well yeah Im just saying that Rayn isnt scum for not knowing about previous game where marv fakeclaimed miller and replaced out.


Rayn is scummy for his unnatural confidence into marv being town.
Followed by him not adapting his opinion to the new information posted about marv and using whatever he can to justify his unjustified townread.

What we have in Rayn is probably a scum seeing a townie claim and immediately taking sides for the townie.
From a scum point of view, claiming townies seem to be in a strong position, especially when they know that their team will not counterclaim the townie.
They will usually try to pick the right side rather than fighting the claim, scum loves to be on the right side.
They feel it's going to earn them trust if they simply take the claim at face value and move on to other stuff, defending the townie against other people's doubts, expecting to look like they were right.

A lot of Rayn's reasoning for marv being town stems from the fact that he assumes that there can't be two millers.
That is fallacious, and a scumslip, Lazermonkey fell for the same mistake, as I will show you (also notice that Lazermonkey pointed out some of Rayn's mistakes but doesn't pursue him as scumread).

1. Rayn quickly thought post-claim that two millers weren't possible.

I bet that was not 5 minutes into the game when one person has posted before you.
That is really an unnecessary risk that i do not think you would take as scum in case the real miller is present.

There is no way there are 2 millers in the game so cut talking about that as a possibility already.


What's scummy about this:
  • Rayn mentions the chance of a counterclaim.
  • 5 minutes later he's sure marv is town.
  • 6 minutes later he says marv would not fakeclaim as scum
  • 20 minutes later he says there can't be two millers


Implication:

→ Rayn did not really expect a counterclaim, as seen in point 2, 3 and 4. Only a fraction of players posted at the time so it was not rational to dismiss a counterclaim that quickly.

He explains his reasoning here:

It's possible I guess. I don't think it's worth speculating about until another miller claims.

Lazermonkey's vote on WoS gives me a townie feeling. Any differing opinions? Do you agree?Yes? Why?

This is how i see it:
marv claimed before iGrok announced the cop is in fact a parity cop. In case the cop was normal and as there is no GF, it's fair that there is one miller. Two millers make the game insanely hard for a cop, and with two miller claims town might run in circles finding which of the millers is "mafia". As for parity cop, having two millers ease up the game much. If the parity cop is stupid enough to not check marv on N1, they still can check the other miller claim on N2 (as if marv is town he will die on N1) and use that to confirm his earlier and future checks.

If there is no cop there is no point in having millers. One might be okay in the sense that it fucks with the town, but not too much. Two millers and no cop is basically impossible.

marv would not claim miller in either scenario because there is no need to.
So that's why i think marv is town and there is exactly 1 miller.

I agree that Lazer is probably town. His opening post was careless and i don't think he would have done that as scum. His vote on WoS is good as WoS is probably scum. :D

What do you think about Stutters? Mainly his posts about the miller thing. They are really really bad.


Let's dissect this:

1. Rayn says only one miller is possible with standard cop (don't even know why he mentioned this as it's unrelated)
2. Rayn says two millers make the game too easy for parity cop coz he can prime his check on one N2 if the other dies N1 (lolz)
3. Rayn says only one miller is possible with no cop. Also no miller is possible.

And he says: THAT'S WHY MARV IS TOWN (cause two millers are unlikely)

This question arises:

It sticks out that in all of this, Rayn never considers that town could have no miller.
Why does Rayn not consider that town has no miller?
Cause he first gave marv full credit (too quickly, knowing that the claim must be true) and now has to justify it.

I don't get this. So your issue is that I assumed that there had to be a miller?I didn't. If I had, why would I even have written that shit? If I knew there was 1 miller and 1 miller only then scum cannot fake claim. Or, they can but its at best a 1-1 trade. The reason I wrote that was because I wanted to showcase why the hypothetical, less risky marv, would not claim miller when he was scum because if there was a real miller in the game, he would look really really bad.


Again...

I don't know, am I reading something wrong here? I see you claiming that marv is probably town cause there can't be two millers.

But you just stated that you didn't assume that there had to be a miller.

On the contrary, your post in question is footed on the idea that there is a miller and that it's marv, and that he's town cause there can't be two millers.
