If reps dies and flips red, he is pretty much boned, no? I don't get what you mean. If Umasi was scum there would be no reason to not for reps. Scum knew that reps was not scum before he got lynched right? He did, which is my point. If reps had still been offed, which was pretty likely at the time, and he were mafia, everything would be on umasi at this point, no? Switching a vote to try to save scum? There are possible town motivations, true, but that seems like a chance not necessarily worth taking from the point of view of the individual player ? You are talking hypothetically if reps flipped red. Can we forget that. There is not hypothetical here. Reps flipped town. He was town and scum knew it. If Umasi was scum why would he switch his vote? Saving a townie does offer him some towncred points in a way At any rate, the hypothetical is important in this situation. I'm trying to explore his decision. And if he is town, he made that decision without any foreknowledge, so he would have to consider what happens in both scenarios. A) reps is red and he dies B) reps is green, some towncred, though obviously the suspicion C) reps is saved(unlikely). Given the risk of A happening if he is a unknowing townie, I find it an odd choice to make. Of course, if he is mafia, it's also not the best play for the attention. It still feels scummy to me A bunch of scenarios where Umasi is town? We are talking about if Umasi is scum. He already expressed that he vote switched because he believed reps was a bad town. So situation A, reps flips red, that wouldn't implicate him as scum unless you don't believe that he was being genuine when he said that he thinks reps is town (which is what reps turned out to be). It is because of towncred. A few were voicing concern with the lynch. And it was avoidable. But last minute switches look bad; if he had switched with me, we may have lynched scam, it could have happened. There were a few people uneasy, and they were on reps. If they switched, the wagons would have changed size- drawing reps wagon. But rather, votes Indio. Because there were vocal detractors to that, and no-lynch is better towncred. If we had successfully lynched scam and he was town, it would have implicated Umasi and I, and reps. Since this is a scenario where Umasi is scum, that mean scum is implicated. Don't do it that way then. To just sit on it after having been vocally uneasy looks scummy too. People call it "distancing from the lynch".
What else
Sorry for tunnel but I have never been so convinced

For record:
My case is purely timing problems. It should not be te some reason for voting Umasi. Couple this with a) your own reasoning and b) flare's case, others case etc.
First couple actions that are relevant but does not look scummy on their own: Umasi declares that no lynch is never good repeatedly and reasonably. I disagreed, but only in situations like when 1 kill away from Lylo. I was not as specific at the time. Also says lynch all lurkers is good policy.
Next action, relevant. Begins to be uneasy with reps lynch. So was I.
My action, relevant, slight scummy: Disagrees with town consensus. Votes scam for lurker lynch.
Umasi action, slight scummy: disagrees with town consensus after agreeing. Does not switch vote yet.
Next action, scummy: Votes Indio. Says prefers no lynch to town lynch (I would have agreed but wasn't in thread) but shows no interest in solidifying stance on lynching lurkers, and appears not to have read India's filter, since he only really made 1 scummy post. Not a convincing counter wagon (what should have been intent, given prior stances) but that goes into next action;
Next action, odd and scummy: Says prefers, desires no lynch... Not a hint to pushing people to get off reps and on Indio while he's gone please or his opinion of town worse (I would see this as more likely move from Standpoint)
Next action, null to scummy: I vote switch back to reps, saying we have to lynch and upset with town or not consolidating (contradicts my idea that no lynch can be better than lynch; if this bothers you I can answer however. For the sake of conciseness, I won't here)
Next action: Reps is lynched. Town ofc.
Next action, null: I get a little pissed with Umasi for not voting with me, or maybe the only time was preflip. But I think I vocalized it in thread too, and wrote it off later.
Next action, townie (by Umasi): Votes scam immediately. Would be good move on its own.
Next action, townie: Indio makes a big post with analysis.
Consider the above.
The problem I have that is not seen above but which involves the above, is the lack of this action. Voting for Indio first.
Explanation given: he felt Indio would at least post, lurker needed pressure. But lurker always needed pressure. If Indio is scum be is scum, vote him first no? Also, coupled with the non- townie stuff, this comes of as fuel to the scumminess of the earlier actions; showing that in town face, he agreed with me rather than otherwise.

What else Sorry for tunnel but I have never been so convinced Fair enough. This by far and away the best response to his vote switch yet. I am still not convinced. Look where it got him. If he is scum that vote switch was a really bad and stupid move. It got him way to much attention. Under the assumption that he is actually scum, this is far better scum play than I was pulling off in that game I talk about now and then. Scum is really freaking hard man, don't look at what is possible, look at what is likely.

He was already voicing disapproval, so it implicates him and I if we stuck with it nonetheless.

Odd as it may seem. Lynching Gotard may be wiser barring a defense from him. He is just generally scummy.

He just is not going to though! If he posts to not be modkilled, however, I don't care who is scummy. We lynch him day 3 if he doesn't post at all and then does that.
Yeah I just put stuff in the vote thread

Thinking I want to filter dive though. Thing is I was total null on Gotard, so I am gonna have difficulty there.

Page 45-48 please read to any newcomers. Read all of it!
Make decisions based on fact, and not lightly. Consider the vote thread as well.

Oh yeah. The deal you quoted with Gotard and Indio.
Neither appears to have understood the other fully. Indio is saying the post Gotard dislikes was aimed at scam. Makes a little sense to me, he means he wasn't saying he would not get reads, but that he was telling scam that this was how he was behaving and only justification he could think of was that scam thinks you can't get info day one. It would be a lie I think though, scam hadn't posted at that point if I remember right. Then Gotard went on to attack what Indio actually wound up saying, according to himself
Really a stretch but then that is the only way I can see it that makes sense because I can't make sense of the post.
The one where Gotard says "really? Directed at scam?" Or some such confusing
|
Whoops.
But I just realized that was off topic anyway. Gotard could be town in that scenario, it's just every time I see it my eyes hurt.

I'll borrow from your quote and quote you. "Specifically this line: "Why is he more useful than them if he's repetitive and "either newbie town in a helpless situation with almost no way out or he is scum trying desperately to stay alive". This is not what town does. Why is he useful in any way? Because he posts more? Quantity doesn't mean usefulness." He's disagreeing with infii, he gives the impression that he thinks reps is scum, but he doesn't actually vote reps -.-"
This is FAR scummier than your behavior.
Wow. The best defense is really a good offense, always XD
Feh. Gotard defense thyself
And thistime I move rashly it's 9:00 that's past bedtime so I'm sleepy
goes and ##votes Gotard man
Umasi you may be wondering how I was like "TUNNNNNNNNN NEL TO THE DEATH!!!!!!!" And now all cool & stuff
Well you did explain yourself from a town perspective. You pointed out the possibility and likelihood of simply forgetting a past stance in the heat of the moment.
If you actually are scum, this is a great newbie scum training moment -_-, but if you are town, that is maybe a close call? But only person as voted you is RDO, so I back off until people come read an give their thoughts.

And let me EBWOP far scummier than any one thing you did, kind of on par with the total.

Just that whole exchange is incomprehensible to me
Gotard doesn't come out on top, I don't even get what he says about Indio
I was gonna finish "thing but basically Indio is town so it doesn't really matter anymore."

How you were easy-to-lynch target from scum perspective? You were "posting reads" and trying to look like a town. Reps was easy lynch because he didn't post anything that might look pro town.

You've never defended yourself. Never told us why nightcat was your 2nd scumread and when you explained your initial read on Umasi you've used his post after your read has been already posted. Where is logic in here? Show nested quote +On August 03 2013 09:32 Alakaslam wrote: Also Gotard Umasi both hiding facts! Can be unintentional but ignoring convenient stuff.

He's been noncommittal, has posted excuses for not posting (it's too hard to do(fuck try anyway dammit))
Show nested quote + tbth, I don't know what to think of gotard, since he's always kinda scummy to me, but never REALLY scummy.
Show nested quote + infii was a better target because he spent more time defending himself, the points brought up against him were strong and I agreed with them (go read gotards filter) (this also happens to be why holyflare lumped us together)
Show nested quote + Me and gotard being similarly suspicious of infii isn't weird, people who think that infii was town are weird, because he was scummy (not anymore)
So he's changing his vote risking no-lynch because someone who is scummy brought good points. OK! Show nested quote + He engages infii in useless discussion about no lynching or not. He's saying he's scummy because infii has different opinions, not because infii has scum motivations.
Useless discussion? I wanted to get reasoning behind his thoughts. "discussion about no lynching or not" I was saying that lynching townie isn't useless for town because it gives information. I wasn't talking about no lynching. Show nested quote + The rest of his filter (he doesn't post more till after lynch) is just null to me.
He changed his vote mainly because my posts and then he decided that those posts were scummy. ##vote: Umasi Much easier to gauge motivation when someone is dealin with you directly!
##goes and unvote s, needs convincing to vote though, agrees with deus too!
Explain your
Uh
Let me find what you did again

Oh yeah- if you thought reps was scummy why did you vote Indio?
