All the times I've changed my reads completely based on a flip:
Sicilian:
Initially I thought DrH was mafia, then I thought VE was mafia. Upon the flip, this was my 100% new scumlist.

Proposed Scum:slOosh
kholly
layabout
Malongo
I'm going to start with slOosh because he is the person that holds this proposed scumteam together. Most of my analysis will focus on the concrete information obtained from the last few hours of Day 1 regarding votes.
slOosh: slOosh never bothered to defend himself when he was faced with an imminent lynch. Many people came to his defense(me included), with little reasoning to justify his survival. slOosh is a borderline lurker and all he has ever done this game is defend himself. There is absolutely no scumhunting in his filter, just see for yourself.
kholly: I think kholly was a significant part of the reason why VE got lynched. By unvoting and voting repeatedly, he confused everyone who was trying to figure out the vote count. He was the only person to waffle between a MZ lynch and VE lynch, indicating that he was apathetic between them.
To top it all off, kholly also happens to have a terrible list of proposed scum in:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414884¤tpage=14#267He never pushes his reads either. If he truly believed these people were scum, as his filter indicates, why didn't he ever try to get them lynched?
layabout:http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414884¤tpage=14#266Doesn't think we should share who we pm. Sounds like he is in favor of withholding information.
Wants to kill Vayne because he doesn't use pms. Terrible reasoning. As I mentioned before, Vayne is stating an opinion that he expressed during pre-game. Why should that be alignment-indicative at all?
Defends Malongo, attacks VE
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414884¤tpage=19#364Says he wants to lynch Vivax, but never follows up
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414884¤tpage=19#379Overall goal seems to be to keep slOosh alive. I think that if slOosh flips mafia, this guy should be our #1 target.
Malongo: Malongo is inexorably linked to each one of these guys. I have a feeling that because VE tried to attack Malongo, scum decided VE needed to die. All of the above players ganged up on VE in order to push attention away from Malongo.
When push came to shove and VE claimed, these guys decided they should hop on another town wagon to keep slOosh alive. They see Mr. Wiggles voting Mz and decide that he would be an easy target to justify a lynch on.
Note that NONE of these players ever gave a good reason why they thought slOosh was innocent. They barely even talked about slOosh. Why did they vote MZ instead of slOosh if they could never provide a legitimate reason why slOosh wasn't mafia? Consider that voting slOosh would guarantee VE's survival, whereas a vote on MZ was not likely to go through. They would have to be very certain of slOosh's alignment in order to adequately justify voting for MZ, considering the situation.
If they actually wanted to save VE, they would have voted slOosh. Why didn't they?If slOosh is in fact mafia, this indicates that they are avoiding interacting with their teammates to prevent links being formed between each other.
I think the most critical person to lynch in Day 2 is slOosh. With his alignment, we get a plethora of information about numerous people and the chances of him flipping scum are quite high.

I'd like to bring to your attention a scum suspect that seems to be passing by the sidelines. That man is named FirmTofu. Just read his filter, it isn't long. Infact, it has only one post. This one:

Reading thread, give me a few minutes.
If you look at the post from a townie perspective you'd expect some kind of followup. There's none. Dudes scum.
Here we have jampidampi's first post. Let's first establish some context. jampidampi's first post is on page 21. A townie at this point should be looking for people who are actively scummy. He should be actively scumhunting. Instead, we see jampidampi trying to quickly establish town cred by accusing a player(me) who hasn't really contributed to the thread. Sure, it isn't scummy to draw attention to me, but it is scummy to believe that I am the
best target to lynch. This play falls more in line with the presumption that jampidampi is scum. Scum jampidampi should be trying to "pretend" he's scumhunting by popping in and accusing lurkers while actually barely contributing at all.
Suspicion: +10jampidampi's filter continues along this same line of thought for quite some time. He continues to avoid causing waves by questioning lurkers who are unlikely to respond to his accusations.

We have to remember that this does not exonerate jampidampi by any means. A scum jampidampi would already know Meapak is town and because Meapak is set to be nuked, he would want to let everyone know that he thinks Meapak is town to establish some town cred. It is tough to say one way or the other, so I consider this quote to be a null read.

Rayn calling for others to be nuked. If he had a nuke why wouldn't he nuke them himself?

jampidampi look at MZ and tell me what do you see.
Here he's asking opinions on Meapak 10 min before mods confirmed the launch. If he's trying to get permission to fire the nuke or confirmation for his scumread wouldn't he wait until after the responses to fire the nuke? If he had already set his mind on nuking Meapak, why ask others for their opinion on Meapak?

@rayn... was that you?
No it was not me.
I think town should claim all their nukes so that we can tell for sure if there is an unclaimed nuke that's from scum. I don't see any downside doing so.
Either way if this nuke to MZ is from town, please claim it whoever shot it.
If nobody claims it probably means MZ is town, i was wrong, and mafia is trying to frame me. Rays first post after the launch. If there is no downside for claiming a silent nuke why wouldn't you claim it right then? The bolded is especially odd. If you launched the nuke, why would it pop in to your mind that scum are trying to frame you by nuking your scumread who is actually town?
We all know that rayn didn't launch the nuke. How could he? He was VT. jampidampi seems to
know this. All of his statements indicate that he already knows that rayn didn't launch the nuke and is trying to discredit rayn.
If jampidampi knew that rayn didn't launch the nuke, he must have known who DID.Therefore, jampidampi could either be the townie that launched the nuke OR he could be on the scumteam that launched the nuke.
Scenario 1: jampidampi=town If jampidampi was town and he truly believed that rayn lied about launching the nuke, why didn't he pursue rayn as a lynch target? All he did was try and discredit him!
Scenario 2: jampidampi=townThis seems to be the most logical conclusion,
assuming that jampidampi already knew that rayn didn't launch the nuke.Therefore, if you believe that jampidampi knew rayn didn't launch the nuke, the most logical approach would be to assume that jampidampi is scum.Suspicion: +50Suspicion Meter Report: 80Suggested Course of Action: Lynch TargetI believe that jampidampi targeted Meapak with the nuke secretly. Once rayn claimed he had launched the nuke, scum jampidampi decided he could discredit him to get free town cred After all, he knew MZ was town and he knew rayn was lying. He knew that, eventually, rayn would cave in to his pressure and be caught lying, placing rayn in a difficult position.
When, jampi was killed, I completely 180'd on my reads.

Day 1:
OriginalName vs Dandel Ion
We know the alignments of both people. We can infer that scum would probably not want to be bussing on day 1, when it is not absolutely necessary. Therefore, the people on the Dandel wagon are extremely likely to be town and the people on the ON wagon are probably around an even split between town and scum.
The scummiest people on the ON wagon are those who pushed it to save Dandel from death. That includes me, but because I know I am town, I will exclude myself from this analysis.
Remember, the deciding votes are especially important.
In my opinion, these are are people coming off as scummy from the ON lynch (from most scummy to least):
ghost_403/Koshi
Alakaslam
gumshoe
Onegu
geript
Chezinu
austinmcc
Alakaslam is a funny one. He initially hopped on the Dandel lynch when he thought it was inevitable. Then, when it looked like ON was picking up steam, he hopped on that lynch. Finally, when the lynch was imminent, he jumped over to Vayne to appear like he had nothing to do with the mislynch. It feels like he knew what the flip would be beforehand.
Day 2:
This day is a bit harder to analyze. We know that Maju is somewhat more likely to be scum because of the flip but we can't be certain.
People coming off as scummy from the jampi lynch (from most scummy to least):
Onegu
Alakaslam
ghost_403/Koshi
geript
(gumshoe for not voting)
These are basically the people that couldn't decide one way or another until the lynch was already decided. They just jumped onto the wagon with the most votes and hoped that no one would care. This signifies apathy and is somewhat suggestive that these players are trying to more concerned about staying in the town's "good books" as long as possible instead of scumhunting.
I no longer think Vayne or Ace are scum.
I would post the Bluelightz game as well, but we're not allowed to post ongoing games.
I change my reads ALL THE TIME as town. This behavior should make me feel town to you, not the other way around.
