Pointing out that it's a newbie game is an excuse, not a reason. The fact that you react to it compared to saying "whoops" or something similar is scummy to me t.t | ||

Spoil me, who's your largest scum read? Have you mentioned it and I totally missed it? | ||

First of all: Convincing, he's #2 for me after Super, (as always I could be convinced either way) Second: I think that the interactions with StiM are not condemning until we know StiM is town, since that's purely an association thing, and we have nothing to associate yet, don't be hasty there. I think what he was saying could be construed in two ways: Way one: He knows StiM is town because he is scum and is appealing to him in a blatant and unwise manner, or way two: He doesn't want StiM ragequitting so he's trying to make it seem like someone is on his side. Everything else about him is pretty convincing though. | ||

I would like to vote after I reread everything again that,s nt on my tiny phone screen but as far as stim's situation , I feel that he's either a bad mafia or a angry townie , so either way not worth a vote now because now everyone will put an watchful eye on him.

Super introduces himself as a player who understands that people cannot always respond to posts quickly and as a player who thinks that applying pressure on other players is a good thing. His later posts do not exhibit these traits at all.

I would be annoyed at your pushing but I think in general its a good town move as it forces information out of people. Before even starting to scum-hunt, Super is concerned with self-preservation. He is not even interested in getting good conversation flowing to produce information. Self-preservation comes first.

At the moment no, as I said I was gone for a couple hours then came back and just skimmed through the thread . I mean to go through it again in more detail once I'm finished defending myself or w/e. One of the first things that Super says comes to his mind is that Cloud has not posted yet. Why is this the next thing that Super thinks of, after self-preservation? He later gives a reason but I cannot understand how he arrived at that train of thought. Show nested quote + On July 13 2013 10:05 Superfluous wrote: Two things are on my mind though. One is that I think you are town (not just to suck up to you b/c you are pressuring me). Reasons being that in my personal experience those who are most aggressive are generally town, and also that this is a semi-noob game so I'm unsure if a mafia would have the confidence to go out and control the game/ put pressure on early on. Another thing is that I dont think I've seen much (if anything) from Cloud 9. He may be in same situation as me and I'll give him Benefit of the doubt though. Show nested quote + On July 13 2013 12:24 Superfluous wrote: Cloud 9 was a name I didn't see when comparing the posts I saw to the player list, so I pointed it out. Next Super says that he has not yet scum-hunted, but so far I was his biggest scum read. That would be fine if his reads were fluid after he actually did some scum-hunting. As we will see later though, his read on me persists until I really hammer home the point that there is no good town motivation for his read on me. Also, why is he so worried that posting this early read might push him to being lynched? I think that it is because he already knows that he cannot actually justify his read on me. Show nested quote + On July 13 2013 12:24 Superfluous wrote: In my own post I said that I was going to look it over again and get reads, obviously meaning that I hadn't looked that hard for scum yet. Right now my biggest scum read is HZflank, because I still think Umasi is doing mostly pro town moves yet hz says its scummy. If it pushes to me actually being lynched I think that I'd still feel this way. He also had an early post or two that distracted somewhat from the discussion, which I'm always suspicious of. Next, Super calls me a lurker but says that the other Europeans should be excused for not posting much. I had already made several posts at this point and am a European myself. He says that he wants to see more from me, but does not give any indication of what he wants to see. When I later make posts directed towards him he completely ignores then as though they are invisible. If he had a scum read on me and wanted to see more, why does he not reply to my posts?

Koshi and Gotard have euro time zones so it makes sense that they weren't active early on, and right now they are trying to contribute something so they're town reads for me.

Now Super needs to add reasons for why he thinks hzflank is scummy because Super's read should not be based on that weak day 1 association. You may notice that since the conversation really started to flow in the way that we want it to, I have not made many posts but every single post I have made is dedicated to finding scum. Yet, of all the people you could find scummy for posting distractions you chose me. Please tell me where I am wrong? To be specific, I do not believe your reasons for having me as your biggest scum read and I want to understand how I actually came to be your biggest scum read. Next Super says that he still thinks I am scum. His reasons are that I have not posted anything which contributed to finding scum. I may be biased on this point, but I do not see how a town Super could say that I had not been contributing. Note that I stopped playing at around 2 AM my time last night, but Super seems to think that it was scummy of me to stop posting. Why would a town player think that?

I am suspicious of Hzflank because he had posts which didn't contribute or add anything (he defended it by saying it's his style of getting discussion started) and because he posted early on then didn't post much afterwards. Now, Super is still more concerned with self-preservation that with finding scum. He also gently suggests that we should consider a no lynch. If a town player was under pressure at this point they would push a scum-read as hard as they could, but they would not try for a no lynch. Super switches his primary scum read from me to Xzavier, without ever saying why I suddenly became less scummy or Xzavier became more scummy (as Xzavier has not posted in a long time). This is still self-preservation without pushing a scum target with any significant force.

I would vote for xzavier right now because he's my strongest read, but thats because we have to vote not because I feel he's 100% scum It really hurts us to lynch town day one, which is the same reason I brought up the idea of no lynching, and the same reason I'm trying to relieve pressure from myself. To conclude, Super's priorities seem to be 1) Stay Alive 2) Find a person to vote for 3) Find justifications for voting That is how scum plays and that is not how town plays. ##Vote: Superfluous This this all of this. @ RAINBOWS You played in a game where Kirby got mislynched, what do you think of this? Do you think he's scummy or not? Are you still going to stick with Gotard when there are more compelling cases out there to be on? (At least, ones that I think are more compelling) | ||

Koshi, I have no idea what to think of you but you make me laugh sometimes yeah, it's not necessarily an "or" as in which one is scum, the other is town more like, who are we lynching? btw, I plan to be on Superfluous unless the day would end in a no lynch, in which case I'd switch to a target that would return a lynch. (or something else changes my opinion of Superfluous/whoever the fuck) | ||

He isn't afraid to share his strong reads. His posts aren't full of useless crap (Hello Rainbows!) even when he isn't 100% right which concerns me. More pro town that jrkirby in general feel. Why Jrkirby? I don't see him making pro town content. His post claiming that hzflank is mafia was awkward and then he defended himself saying that it was only a joke/pressure combo. Then posing useless lurker list (seems like every newbie game needs one). But as far as his interaction with stim goes I think you are overthinking it. ##vote: jrkirby. Do you think Superfluous is Town? And if so, why? | ||

I see both of them as likely to flip scum. I can't explain why, specifically, Super is more scummy to me. Things have felt off about him from the very first post, and although he has had moments of brief like "hm maybe he's not THAT bad",,,so does kirby, as has been pointed out. Scum are GOING to have times where they can post things that are not scummy, that's a goal of theirs. | ||

He just says like "huh maybe watch out for kirby kinda, let's talk to him, but give him a super open ended question" "kirby what is the goal with your posts so far" jeeeeeeeeez give scum an easier out, please. super SUPER wishy washy if you as me. He just says null shit. not null as in "null read" but null as in worthless. The first impression strikes me as slightly townie, but seriously, that's like one + among a field of - | ||

someone else do it. kirby or someone who has a townread on him, because I certainly don't t.t basically people getting +1s in a field of -1s isn't uncommon, because townies have -1s in fields of +1s (-1s and +1s are flowers btw) | ||

cloud give independent reads. nothing much more to say, I guess. this entrance is unimpressive and scummy (to me, and apparently I find everyone's entrance to be scummy) | ||

And it's only a couple hours for the deadline, so I wouldn't be surprised if he BW's someone without much discussion or reason. Also most of his posts have been about his schedule, instead of about the game. If THAT isn't fluff, what is? Still catching up on the thread this morning~~ but what if I told you that xzavier thinks you two are scummiest because you two are fucking scummiest I don't like how he's been working as often as blazinghand eats dinner, but some things honestly can't be helped. | ||

(caught up now) Jrkirby, what do you think about the case on Superfluous? You've hardly mentioned him ever. Superfluous, same to you, what do you think about the case on Jrkirby? Please don't say something noncommittal like "oh third party probably herpaderp" We don't even know if there is a third party, I don't accept that as a read at this stage in the game | ||
