Hi guys, I propose that we lynch the lurkiest guy D1.Obviously if someone looks really scummy then we lynch him first, but if that's not the case then we lynch the guy with the least posts. I think scum really likes to post as few as possible.

I know that's gonna look kinda scummy, but I'm going to bed now. Gn!

I found your first post scummy before I read all of the following posts. They were so much worse than yours that they made your first post look like a scum trap.


It was kinda designed to lure some response from scum thinking they got an easy target.
But I need to work on appearing scummy, either that, or scum this game is a team of cravens (thx GoT).

Do you think policy lynching a lurker day 1 is a good idea? Why or why not?



Lurkers are liabilities later in the game. I don't have a problem with taking them out sooner, rather than later. If you are stuck in a potential mylo/lylo situation with a lurker, it is no fun. Of course, if some one is overly scummy we should lynch them first.

Day 1 lynches are always interesting though. It is hard to get solid reads and judge interactions between players.

So basically you don't have a stance on it?

Stutters replies to this with "You don't have a stance on it".
It's almost the same thing I said (Lynch lurkers unless someone is scummy enough to warrant a lynch over them).
Stutters only accuses this guy of not having a stance, not me, and I don't agree that this posts warrants this accusation.

You agree with him that this post is not taking a stance? I think it's clear what Paperscraps was saying here, or do you think that this post is in some way scum afraid to say what they want to do with lurkers (which is in my humble opinion not very smart to assume).

That is not taking a stance. Taking a stance would be “I am going to vote for anyone who lurks”. Saying that you will vote for a lurker unless someone else is scummier and then going on to say that it is hard to get solid reads on day 1 is not taking a stance.

I do not think that being afraid to say what to do with lurkers is a scum tell. I do think that attempting to mimic thread sentiment is a scum tell.


But I said the same thing.

Why is Paperscraps scummy for it but not me?

I realize that your post is not serious, Clarity, however I would appreciate it if you could tell us if you actually have a reason for a wagon on Tofu.

I Actually also want to lynch vayne for all the bollocks he has been posting early game.i'M not used to him posting bollocks in his town games.
I already hate this ggame for all its small posts, and its joke posts. Jack sparrow is annoying and i would like him to get a more serious tone soon. All this bullshitting only helps scum.it was fine at the start but stop now please.

That said, let's work towards a better atmosphere please. Also consider lookinespeciallyg at people who post only few.n

I'd say the best nuggets Vayne provided so far were gifs, pics, trolly stuff and a post about his scum meta.

That said, I endorse his lynch for today, and stutters' lynch as second option actually cause I can't tell if he's really busy or scum, but I know Vayne wasn't busy and still posted trash.

I suggest you all realize that D1 has serious potential to end up in a crapshoot, and that RNGing a lynch makes it more likely to hit scum than finding scum according to mafia database statistics.

I'm an adamant supporter of using D1's as vig shots in lack of a better lynch, and I'll admit it: In this spammy, short post and trolly town, I'm kinda still lacking of reliable clues on who could be likely scum, hence I propose we get rid of Vayne for posting shit. Jack Sparrow at least is improving when asked to.

I do not ignore his content.
I'm just aware that between doing nothing and posting what you call content, he spent his time posting a lot of bullshit, that's also content, and specifically, content lacking town-motivation.

If I post 10 one liners with stupid shit and one line of reads, do you ignore all the stupid shit and only evaluate the line of reads for your purposes or do you also take into consideration that I wasted time posting shit, in forming your read on me?

Good that you mention that stuff, didn't even read his filter since i wrote the above posts. Guess I'll get off Vayne if he keeps it up.
Also good that you mention Paper. I want to discuss him some more with you since you snapped on him pretty early.
Tell me if those parts of his list of reads seem scum motivated to you:

CapJackSparrow null - I totally dig his RP gimmick so far and I am biased toward him in a good way. I want to say I lean town on him, but I would hold judgement on his alignment for now.



Koshi leaning town - Koshi is a odd ball so far. I like that he town reads me, haha. I mostly agree with the lists he has made so far.

Right now im interested into knowing who hzflanks other three scumspects are, if he has any besides paperscraps.
Found him kinda scummy since the thing with stutters, where he used one argument on paperscraps but not on me. I need still to analyze his other posts more properly though. I suggest that's a good place to start looking if you want to find something weird about hz.

The thing i found kinda townie is how he treated people of the nullish category more favourably than not. Scum needs to paint people scummy and get a mislynch, being easy going on potential mislynches is something that works against that objective, in case they need to switch to them later, or start a counterwagon.

I think I have made that fairly clear already and it would be based on associations after Paper's flip.

I am perfectly willing to answer your question, but first I would like you to answer mine. Why do you want to know my other scum reads while I am obviously pushing hard on Paper? What benefit goes that give you or the town?


I want to know if you're trying to figure out the game or just pushing a lynch from an easy tunnel.
You tend to paint whatever ps does in unfavourable light, and seem to ignore other possibilities.

It's my current subjective impression of your play, and i will reinforce it or correct it when i have the chance to post from a more comfortable place later.

Yeah, i'd join that boat as well. He is capable of much more d1 when he's town, and having seen him play scum lately, i'm kinda confident i can read him. I would actually enjoy if he posted some more to give us the chane to read him better though, elsewise it's indeed more like a lurker lynch, and it's hard to win people for that.

So Paper only giving town reads is townie to you? That's some unusual logic.


Is it so unusual that you find it scummy?i'm curious to see you get into the spotlight, and not shout from the sidelines. If you think paperscraps or me are scum, then i'm all ears, cause your post suggests that exactly.

I'm taking back my suspicion on hzflank, only town or really pro scum writes something like this casually into a post I think:


I did start to prepare a case on Oats yesterday but I cancelled it shortly after starting. As I was writing it I became less sure that Oats was scum and I did not want to post a case that I did not believe in myself. That is fairly normal for me as I seem to be good at convincing myself that someone is not scum.

I might have been hasty with that PS townread.
Among his reads there's this:

On July 28 2013 10:24 Paperscraps wrote:
I have finally caught up! I wrote down some reads as I was catching up.

First off I need to say some stuff about my play early on. I get why people would find me scummy so far, tone and sarcasm are hard to convey in text. This is why I will play a more standard game from now on. It isn't helping people find scum, if they are looking at me for joking and being sarcastic and not understanding that is all it is.

hzflank leaning town - The more and more I read hz, the more I begin to like him. Not afraid to be abrasive and stand his ground.

exarezee null - The argument of either Tofu or I having to be scum strikes me as odd. I don't see any interactions between FT and I, that would merit this stance. I would like a more in-depth analysis of this pairing.
One thing that bugs me about exarezee is that he has reacted in a "noob" fashion to the two early votes on him. With his 100+ games played on the poker forums, which I have no reason to doubt, I just can't see why he would react so defensively. I am probably over thinking my read on exarezee, but I don't see him flipping scum at the moment, due his push on me which holds no substance and his reaction.

Oats leaning town - I am really hoping Oats is town, his reads and post so far have been great. His comprehension of what is going on is probably the best so far.

Clarity leaning town - Nothing really to elaborate on Clarity so far, I doubt most of the players would disagree.

One great interaction I found so far was this.

I think paperscraps and firmtofu are a good 1,2 wagon combo for day 1.

I don't think both are scum, but I think its a high chance one of the two are. Really strange initial votes on me by both of them. I don't understand why I had to be voted because I didn't provide a reason for a tone read I made. Paperscrap's vote is even more bewildering because he states he was "joking in all his posts." So, if they were townies making these votes I would have to assume they are trying to see if anybody jumps on my bandwagon and gain some information from it....but then they really quickly unvote. Just really strange town play IMO. Really can't see this being done as a scum/scum combo. It draws a little too much attention. Again, could be town/town, but I think its really likely a scum/town combo here.


How is that post in any way more useful to town than to scum?

You think that Paper and Tofu should be the two lynch candidates but do not state which of them is most likely to be scum. If they are both town then having them be the primary lynch candidates would be great for scum. If one of them is actually scum then you posting that without saying which one you think is scum is really not useful, as if one of them flips town you are in a position where you should assume that the other is scum, which give you a really easy excuse to vote for them if you are in fact scum.

Basically, telling us which single person you want to lynch is good. Telling us that you want the votes to be between two specific people is really bad.

Which of them is most likely to be scum?


This interaction seems genuine. If either of hzflank or exarezee were scum, I would say the other isn't.

CapJackSparrow null - I totally dig his RP gimmick so far and I am biased toward him in a good way. I want to say I lean town on him, but I would hold judgement on his alignment for now.

Tofu null - I don't think his push on exarezee is the best. It seems to be grasping. The thing with making cases in general is you can always twist and skew people's filter to whatever you think is right. Initially I leaned town on FT, but after his case I retract that some what.

Vayne leaning town - not sure what to think of vayne as of yet, he comes in every so often and drops some knowledge. I think his vote on clarity is pretty bad though. His filter strikes me as town though.

Koshi leaning town - Koshi is a odd ball so far. I like that he town reads me, haha. I mostly agree with the lists he has made so far.

I am going to read some filters more in-depth and meditate on what I have come up with so far. I don't have a strong scum read at the moment.

Also I realize I haven't commented on some people who have posted, the reads above were what stuck out to me most on my initial read through.


This is the stuff Oats said before:

July 28 2013 02:06

Possibly vivax.
One of these dudes is almost surely scum though.
Rayn, stutters, Malongo, Vivax.

Actually can everyone give their views on Hzflank?
I feel that his first post is really bad.



July 28 2013 02:13.

So anyway about Vayne, he is playing this game totally different from his sole scumgame on site, serious play there, got into a egobitch fight with marv and yeah. None of that here. At all. Meta says he aint scum.

Of course, he might just be really good and faking the bullshit but I dont see why he needs to raw attention to himself when he can play perfectly competent town when he rolls scum.


July 28 2013 03:14.
hey tofu wanna lynch justanothertownie?
Why/why not?

Read your case, if Im not wrong, it is basically stuff surrounding paperscraps and his 2 wagon shit right? I dunno man, its a lotta conspiracy theory based on scum setting up wagons and leaving himself outs. From what Ive seen, scum dont really leave themself outs. I dunno, your logic is fine, but I feel that exarezee has been posting really clearly and I can see his thought process and all that townie shit. Also not a good idea to kill active poster day 1.


If you compare them with PS' post, it doesn't really show the type of match that you would expect for a guy to go all like "WOW OATS WTF SUCH SICK READS MUST BE TOWN" . Rayn, stutters, me , malongo all appear among Oats' reads, but PS doesn't even mention them in his post. I want to see what Ps has to say to this.

First is Vivax:

It's really interesting to me he's so gung ho on lynching me for inactivity when, of anyone in this game, he would know my activity isn't a tell of my alignment at all. I play when I'm at work/have free time I'm not spending with my girlfriend. That's a constant as scum or town.

He attacked me for a single post, before I've really even started playing when a quick one liner is literally my only course of generating discussion when all I have time to do is drop a phone post.

He also put the accusation on the back burner to endorse the lynch of another coinflip in Vayne avoiding discussing the actual happenings of the thread. That's off of what I'd expect from Vivax. He usually has a mix of good reads with bad but as a constant he's stubborn and pushes them. I don't see that here.

His reason for lynching Hz is practically identical to his reason for lynching me and he still isn't showing the original thoughts I expect from him.

Food for thought(i wouldn't bar lynching him off of this but it's interesting ): last two times he's played as scum in a game I've been in he's attempted to lynch me (YANMM & Roulette) as an easy mislynch due to my usually scummy nature. First time he got lynched over me, second time he backed off the read in a fashion very similar to how he backed off of Hz .

I don't think he's a d1 lynch right now but if he doesn't start showing up in a meaningful way I'd definitely lynch him.


Things like

So basically you don't have a stance on it?


can be considered generating discussion in your opinion?

Especially, PS said something very similar to what I said in that post, and you chose to attack him but not me, I discussed this with hz.

I don't know where you got the notion I bolded, can you walk me through it?
What constitutes original thought to you? Do you think I'm recycling other people's opinions?

Fucking mosquitos man.

Anyway, I won't touch Cora for sure, I think the probable ragequit makes him town. Townies tend to be more egoistical.

Stutters, i disagreed cause you reduced my reasons to that single post when they are mroe complex than that. It's true that I found it suspicious that you two went selective on me and paper (which is a fact cause we said the same thing but you only suspected him), but applying that statement to the current situation just isn't right, aside from the fact that I'm currently leaning town on HZ for that part about his Oats post. If he's scum he's a pro actor.

So let me recap: You threw shit in from the sidelines, you show really low activity, and you applied your reasoning to PS but not to me.

HZ did the same selective thing, but he also tunneled PS in a way I found suspicious cause he tends to interpret what he gets about him in the worst way possible, and replied in your favour when I suspected you, which I found odd at such an early stage.

If I get it right, I'm your scumread yes? Then I'm sure you're going to find plenty of reasons for that argument in my filter, I'm eager to hear your case for me being scum.

You can claim being busy all you want, I'm also busy every time I roll scum.

Looking forward to hear your opinions on other players as well, not just the guy who suspects you.

Hey guys, I'm just about caught up. I find it extremely suspicious that Vivax has not read/answered my questions about him. Vivax, any reason you've been avoiding me?


Yes, I'm human, I'm not at home, I can also be lazy, and I focused on my scumreads.
Is anyone who didn't post anything about you scum now?

So you think what I do is extremely suspicious but

I didn't say you were scum, not sure how you jumped to that conclusion


I'll answer your questions, but explain me this one in the meantime.

This is so off...isn't it? He just said "fuck lurker lynches", but then votes a lurker. What? Either way, this could just be a pressure vote, working as more bait.


This is getting into semantics on what constitutes a lurker, but I voted stutters cause he posted a loaded question that was in no way useful for finding scum, and then fucked off. Now he claimed being busy, but I voted him cause I found that part scummy, not cause of some category I put him into.


Bolded relevant. He's flip-flopping on his stance on lurkers again. Is Day 1 a crapshoot or not, Vivax? Should we be lynching scum or lurkers, Vivax? Can you please be more clear as to where you stand on this issue?


I think we should lynch lurkers, not scum.
Hope this illustrates the value of your question.

I use to fake mistakes about setup (KP and similar) to get cred.
In the context of Tofu pushing XRZ it might actually have some value in giving him a townread, it simply fits with the timing where he votes and pushes him, so I think it could actually be a good town indicator.

If it were some random zomg scumslip with no context I'd treat it as null, but in this case it's a fine towntell.

Dunno, I got the feeling he's suspecting me as well, not that he's tunneling you and only you withou considering new evidence.

@Tofu

I don't get what's hard to follow. I say what I find scummy about whom, and I want to lynch people who exclusively post bullshit and sows with ducklings, and people who don't post jack, especially D1 should be used to do the latter.

I don't have an internal switch lurker lynch/scum lynch, I have a "get rid of liabilities and lynch scummy people" mindset, that's all. If I switch target frequently it's cause I adapt.

There's the other side of the medal, you already know the other guy is town and will elaborate that post according to that mindset, not believe he's scumslipping.

But yeah, I see where you're coming from. I use these little things in getting townreads, but ultimately one has to judge the overall picture.

You want to lynch FT quite badly I take?

I have that feeling he was mimicking my own targets, and he doesn't really push anything, more like constantly communicating who he would lynch.

I don't like his style of play as opposed to the last game I was in with him. But I really like the chap and hence will give him some extra leeway, only day 1 though, koshibro, please show some more ambition D2 :>.

I'd like to see more from stutters than just stuff about me.

Hey guys, just caught up.

First impressions:


I don't like Paperscraps. First he joins the lurker discussion without adding any content, then he starts to jump on exarezee without any good reason (I'm not really convinced that it was just a joke) and when he gets a little heat for it he totally backs off. I really hate this:

TLDR; Besides the first question on my first post, I haven't been serious at all.

So this is not serious at all?

Lurkers are liabilities later in the game. I don't have a problem with taking them out sooner, rather than later. If you are stuck in a potential mylo/lylo situation with a lurker, it is no fun. Of course, if some one is overly scummy we should lynch them first.

Add to this how he didn't post anything since he noticed people getting suspicious. To me he is the scummiest player so far.

Also I'm annoyed by CJS. Going through his filter I can't find anything valuable - he just didn't say anything until this point (apart from fluff).


Im quoting Oats here, from his case cause I think it's already an accurate argument.

justanothertownie thinks its not a joke. But he doesnt explain why scum would do it, summerizes Paperscraps actions and just says its scummy. Scum take jokes seriously cause they play the game seriously.



Similarly, this also applies to his last post:

Yeah, that's because you both don't have any real scumreads.... or do you really think Vivax is scum? Or that I am?

##Vote: Paperscraps


He basically quotes the guys he disagrees about and uses that as argument that PS is a good lynch. Of these, he only shows different opinions on Vayne and koshi in the same post.



I would love to lynch VA for his attitude towards the game but if he always plays like this then there is nothing about him that indicates any alignment. But I would like to know why Vayne thinks Oats voting Tofu is good?

Also I'm still not content with Koshis explanation of his reads. So you actually don't have any scumread anymore besides the troll and the lurkers?


JAT seems to disagree with PS's read that Oats is town, yet I don't see a single instance in JAT's filter that suggests that he thinks Oats is scum. All Oats is guilty of is attacking JAT initially.

JAT's reasons look like a load of bollocks, and we should lynch him.

Even if he was, it still wouldn't explain why he lists Oats as read he disagrees with but never attacks him.
If he's town and deliberately not openly talking about the players he finds suspicious, but lists them as not-town as means to attack somebody else, then he must be not just super newb, but super newb not wanting to play or solve the game.

Koshi, you included him in your list and then retreated from it, mind telling me what you initially found scummy about his first two posts, and what changed your opinion later?

Oh I missed that question earlier.

I was wrong about you. I don't think you are scummy anymore.

I thought you were scummy because of your first 2 posts. But now it seems more like you didn't had a good feel into this game yet and tried your luck with making 2 cases.

I am actually leaning town on you now.

Malongo seems irritated by the fact he got lynched in the last game and is trying to play better. It seems like he is trying to play for town really hard compared to other games because of how people viewed him in those games.

Stutters comes off as town as he noticed the same thing about Vivax i did. I tend to think people who agree with me are town, at least in things that most of the people seem to miss.

My list is not based on thread sentiment. Maybe the thread sentiment is correct then if a lot of people agree on things. I think hz's tell is a strong town-tell, it's not stealing from you by any means. I just think alike you in that matter.

Do you want to lynch FT?

And it doesnt help me either that when I wake up I have to read 10 or more pages (and honestly didnt read with high proficiency).

Our biggest problem right now is the lack of leads 3 hours to lynch. Thats why hz is still my prime suspect, I found it really bad when he posted about "consolidating 1 or 2 wagos early instead of pushing the lurkers". Clearly he wants to push Paper (wich is null to me atm) and every time he gets into an argument with someone his defence or case is slightly helped by other player around uninvolved. Read what other people has to say about him.





Explain that bolded part to me. When you assume somebody is scum, shouldn't you be more acquainted with his reasons to push his suspects? You are supposed to find out if his cases are on townies, and pushed with scummy arguments.
That said, is it possible you didn't get an opinion on your scumreads' scumread while analyzing him?

I really didn't like his questions to me, they looked like loaded questions of the "Why do you beat your wife" sort, and him saying he doesn't think I'm scum after finding me extremely suspicion was also boggling, to say the least.

Being presented with the scumslip thing and the way he pushed me I was left with a rather townish feeling, plus the fact that he wasn't staying in a comfy tunnel as XRZ was trying to suggest to me.

Your take on my arguments against JAT?

Conclusion: I'm actually a little bit surprised that Paper has been this scummy. If you hadn't made me filter dive, I don't think I would have this read on him. I agree, Paperscraps is quite scummy all things considered. However, his posting does seem genuine. I think that if we give him another day, he'll be able to redeem himself.


It's funny, Tofu, you actually bring some good arguments to the table (the "vote for me if you want" one), except for the reads. Do you automatically assume that wrong=scum?

What makes me curious is that you want someone who is scummy to redeem himself? Is he scum or is he not scum? If he's scummy and you think is scummy, why exactly do you want him to redeem himself?

I got a little lost there, I read it as: you want me to elaborate more on Paper right?


Yes. You think hz is scum, but your read on his scumread is null. That implies you didn't read your scumreads cases, which is pretty weird for you if you didn't. What exactly did you read of hz that makes you think he's scum if you don't agree or disagree with his case on PS?

If hz is scum as you say, his case on PS should show some fallacies or scummy traits somewhere, no?

I can tell what my last thoughts were: If PS, JAT and FT are all scum then this game was ezpz. I was also tempted to add malongo as fourth cause his null read on PS was really weird since FLANK was pushing the guy all the time.

Of the three though, I'm most confident into lynching JAT.
Will see if I can find some more arguments soon, after I've finished watching a movie.

I'll consolidate, obviously, and rayn has a point about Malongo as I read more of his other games, but this is bitter.
I'm not so sure about Vivax, I've had him as null all day and vayne's case is 90% meta, so let's give him another day.

I guess out of those three I would prefer Paper...? I mean his wagon started early and he has looked scummy (although more bad than scum), plus he probably has the most association attached to him which'll help day 2.
I felt like Koshi was getting scummier and scummier but the way he's just insistently and badly pushing for an hz lynch just makes no sense to me from a scum perspective.


Vayne's case is not just only meta, it's also saying things without proving them by quoting my posts.
Especially the trivial things part is interesting. Does he think any argument I brought up so far is trivial? I'd like to hear which one.

Jesus fuck why can't we lynch JAT.

This is a bit from PS which I find pretty townie. HZ actually used this as point AGAINST him, which was one of the points I found myself disagreeing with.

The change of mind shit after rereading is something rather townie imho.


Hey, do you still think exarezee is a good lynch for today? I am leaning town on him right now. If anything I think there are better lynches, such as Vivax or JAT. Also I think my initial read on hzflank was hasty, after re reading his filter I find him being a possible lynch choice as well.

It is a decent post, slightly biased through the lens of hzflank who already at that point scum reads me. You are seeing what you want to see in my posts. I could defend every point you made against me, but right now I don't think that would be beneficial since I am beginning to town read you again. We could go into the psychology of mafia and how people want to think their first choice is right, but really you should realize with all the flak I am getting from everyone right now, the chances of me flipping scum is very low. I am all alone here, this is day 1.

Tofu made a pretty big shift in the recent pages, going from totally being against my lynch to voting me. I am not saying I don't have reasons to be voted with what everyone is throwing at me, but it doesn't seem like a natural shift at all. Where did his backbone go? Does he not scum read exarezee anymore? Is exarezee bussing me now? A closer look at Tofu right now would be great.

I agree that Tofu's switch was everything except good looking.
He doesn't seem to fight much for his own reads.

Can you tell me what you thought were those amazing reads from Oats that made you townread him in your list post?

I'm BUSSING YOU? Say WHAT?


I am putting myself in Tofu's shoes. What is he thinking to have voted me? His shift from being against my lynch to voting me was too sudden. It is scummy. He has been all about lynching you exarezee, then is now voting his scum's scum read. That doesn't strike you as odd play?


I'm still confused as to who is bussing who. Bussing = mafia throwing another mafia under the bus right? Who do you think is doing this.


What he meant imo is that FT thinks you and Paper are both scum, and that PS says that Tofu is supposed to ask himself if it makes sense for you to bus Paperscraps.
A good point imo.

Wait, what happened in between the last two pages that shifted your read so dramatically? You were pursuing Paper and now suddenly you think Koshi is confirmed scum?


Do you think it's even worth considering that Rayn could be scum?
What happened to your XRZ scumread actually. PS asked a good question: Why do you think it's so likely that XRZ is bussing PS so early?Cause that's what your current reads foot on.

I'm willing to do a switch to either FT->JAT->Koshi .
In sum, the shit FT does is becoming too much. His questions to me were scummy, his switch to PS was fucking weird, and I don't like at all how he is so willing to let loose of XRZ.

First of all, my vote on Ft didn't represent my current read. I just had to do it to avoid warning/modkill. I actually think FT's read post makes him likely town at this point.

It'd be wise to reread the game with the flip in mind now, we're looking for people who feel comfy staying on Paperscraps, and who don't seem sincere about their motives for voting for him.

JAT is one example.His reasons for voting PS were shit.
Will follow with others after rereading.

I don't think you are in a "relatively good position".


Precisely, I wanted to achieve that all along, that was my master scum plan, that is what you're suggesting.
I wasn't in a bad position, only guy wanting to lynch me was vayne.
Desperate scum play requires desperate situations, that situation wasn't desperate at all for me.

I made it abundantly clear that I thought PS was townie, and only cause I have grown a bigger pair than you, I have attempted to save him from lynch.
If anything, what you and stutters did fits more into the profile for how scum would try to gain cred. Try to start a bandwagon that is doomed to fail anyway, switch back, nothing changes, you look better.

Meanwhile, you were crying that PS was oh so townie, but alas, we can't no lynch. Grow a pair and do it if you think he's 95% townie, dumbo.

Yeah because you fuckers didn't vote for either Koshi or FT until it was too late.
Why are you so angry?


Cause I know I'm not scum, and cause I feel I did the right thing, albeit it ended up not accomplishing anything.
Plus, I would like if people judged me on my overall play and not just that stunt. I do crazy shit as both town and scum, and while this was crazy from the point of view of my own safety, I feel that accomplishing a no lynch would have been the right thing.

FT's reads were full of shit. All he said is pretty colors and "that might change".


Again, you're looking at the quality, not the motivation. What scum goes all like "wait a moment I'll post my reads" in face of a wagon that's not even that threatening. That was 25 minutes pre-lynch.

Additionally, I don't feel you should be saying his Koshi read was full of shit when he's one of your prime suspects.

For scum to display a quality, it first requires a motivation.
That said, FTs "Oh you wanna lynch me?Sec getting reads before i die" motivation is fairly townie in my opinion. At least it's far from something I'd expect scum to do in that situation with limited time. I'd rather expect them to start blabbing about the danger of no lynching and shit.

If you're a vigi and want to play "classic" vigi, shoot JAT for lurking at deadline, or shoot Vayne for posting shit all the time, or shoot me for lying about what I did at deadline, preferably, shoot JAT for being lurky scum.

I would appreciate if you didn't do the latter but I understand that you must if you feel you must. I'll do my best to show that I'm too valuable to be shot.

Is anyone here who was with me in LXI? I noticed earlier something about clarity that I didn't further pursue, but his case on Tofu had a sort of tone that reminded me of his case on Sharrant that helped me catch clarity in LXI when he was mafia.

For comparison:

No, I want to sort this out. If you answer this for me satisfactorily, I will give you a reprieve for a bit.

What is your exact reasoning for voting for BM. Give me one paragraph, with your thought process. If it's policy, tell me it's policy and the exact policy. If you have other reasoning for it, please detail that reasoning to the best of your ability.

I will be reading and cooking for a while. I know this is a Sunday, but I would really like more people to be active. There's 25 people in this game, and honestly it feels like a mini to me. Thank you to the people who are being active.


"If you give me the right answer I'll leave you alone"

This irked me, this notion always irks me. If you're "pressuring" by saying exactly what someone should do to get you off their back, then you are not pressuring. This is an easy way for scum to appear to scumhunt with an easy out.

I think there is no reason for a townie to claim miller for the reasons i explained before. If BM was not in fact claiming miller, he should have a damn good reason why he decided to post what he did, because posting (joking?) that as town does not make any sense.



I see. I'll wait until Bill Murray is back in the thread before I say anything more about this then, if I feel the need to say anything more.

Let's give ourselves another topic then. Pick a player who you would like to discuss with me, and I will read their filter while I cook and eat. I would suggest Mr. Cheesecake, but I would prefer it if you picked the candidate for discussion.


So Sharrant gets his answer, with the answer being the obvious (and as rayn points out, already said before).
"I didn't like the miller claim" That's what Sharrant accept as a satisfactory answer? What other answer could there be? Asking questions that only have one answer, regardless of alignment, is useless. Yet it's easy to skim over these two posts and have it seems as if he contributed.

Who posts in a way that seems like they contribute, but don't? Scum do.

I think the absurdity and yet strange value of this heuristic makes Vivax very likely to be town. To the point that almost nothing would make me want to lynch him today.

Discuss.


"Absurd" I agree with. "Strange value" however...could you expand on how his heuristic is useful at discerning OTHER people's alignment, because I don't see it.


I would like to know what motivates you to ask Palmar that question. Are you feeling uncomfortable with the fact that he's giving me a townread? Do you see scum motivation in doing so or do you think I'm scum?

Yes I am uncomfortable with him giving you a townread off of something I read as non-indicative. I also want to know why he suggests there is any value in the heuristic you used because it's nonsense imo.


What I regard as important about your question is that you seem to assume that scumPalmar would give me an easy townread, when it wouldn't serve any purpose for him, unless you know of one and want to talk about it.

Your question's whole purpose seems to be attacking Palmar's townread on me, which makes me curious. Cause town's goal is to find reasons for someone being scum, and not for heuristics to get townreads not being correct, that is mafia's goal cause it reduces the pool of people they could get lynched.

So unless you see me or Palmar as scummy for some reason you aren't citing, I see the question you're asking as something that looks like scum agenda, as you criticize someone for issuing a townread on another guy.

Then, why Palmar specifically? CC called everyone in the thread town at a certain point, and I called everyone posting before me town, yet you deem Palmar most interesting for issuing a single townread.

Palmar's explanation for why he gave you a townread doesn't make sense to me and I want to question it. No one is confirmed fuck-all until they flip, but you throw it around based on the fact that they posted in the thread before you. I'd call that as you being reckless. Not scum, not town. Palmar disagrees and has cited some kind of reasoning. I wish to hear it.


This is the most bothersome quote in Hopeless' filter.

It reads to me as if he already knows Vivax is town, so he's not thinking about the play in every possible scenario.

If Vivax is town: The play is indeed somewhat reckless, but it also has some degree of accuracy. Mafia generally will float towards their QT at the beginning to check out their new toy, and coordinate. This is not fool proof, but is at least grounded in logic, and offers a decent way to focus your search during the first day.

If Vivax is mafia: The play is bad. He's given out several townreads (which always sticks in peoples mind as mafia oriented), and he potentially denies himself opportunities for easy mislynches or he has to go back on his town reads. Whether or not that makes him suspicious to everyone else is moot, because it will make him feel like he's being suspicious and less safe.

If Vivax is third party: This is pretty much the same as if he's town as his main goal is just survival, and scum hunting will help in that survival.

That Hopeless does not seem to ever figure out why Palmar can attach town value to Vivax's statement, and that he does not seem to have mentally played out each situation is suspicious.

There's a more I could write, but as is I would A) like to see more from him so I can see if he follows the same patterns I'm seeing B) I would prefer other lynches over him at this point. When I see more from him I will reevaluate again as to whether he should be more of a priority lynch.

I do consider him a good lynch, and likely mafia, but there are others I would lynch before him.


Here Sharrant is saying: "Hopeless is doing this thing that makes him scummy, I shall watch him and see if he keeps doing it"
Another easy out, telling the person you're "pressuring" exactly what they need to do (or not do in this case) to avoid being pressured more.

And if the real snape doesn't show up, he will claim he's snape.

That'd be pretty ballsy, but effective scumplay. Let's see what BM has to say regarding this.


What's in your opinion the point of doing this as we can't know how many of each roles are in the game? If there is someone who claims snape, why can't BM be another one?

TRN and Palmar are probably town.

i was making a joke about his stupid sounding name
it wasn't a serious claim whatsoever
this is why the internet is not good for tone.


And with that, I'm going to bed... Good night, everyone.


They all scream insecurity, which is in stark contrast with his "pressure" posts which have an air of misguided authority about them.

All his posts scream "look at me I'm active and contributing" without actually contributing, All his other posts scream insecurity. Sharrant is scum.

This comes up every game. How scummy does someone have to be for you to want to lynch them over a lurker? You have to consider that lynching lurkers provides very little information whereas lynching scummy people might tell us a lot about how people are related to one another.

Right now, exarezee is looking pretty town.


Notice how he explains that he's having a hard time reading CJS because of his roleplay, and Paperscraps would be a good lynch too because he's hard to read. That's all well and good, pressure them to be more easier to read, but the mindset is revealed in the part I bolded.
He first claims that if he had to lynch someone it would be CJS or Paper because they're currently hard to read, but now he's suddenly saying he's suspicious that they're scum? why?

Then he throws a random unsolicited townread into his post, because scum love giving townreads.

hz reaction earlier towards oats is saying that he is scum for defending Paper.


Yeah, that's freaking weird.
I initially thought you were overreading that, and that he was saying you were readin PS town as argument against him.
But he's actually saying you want to use PS' lynch against him cause you believe he's town, which makes no sense.

I'm not going to sheep you if you make a good case. I'll consider voting him if you make a good case. There's a big difference there.

Yes, my read on you was justifiable at that point but where do you see a lot of posts that would indicate this? Sounds weird to me.

I would love to lynch VA for his attitude towards the game but if he always plays like this then there is nothing about him that indicates any alignment. But I would like to know why Vayne thinks Oats voting Tofu is good?

Also I'm still not content with Koshis explanation of his reads. So you actually don't have any scumread anymore besides the troll and the lurkers?

For now I still think Paper is a good lynch. His reads do not impress me.

Please explain yourself. You just stated I am scummy and provided absolutely no reasoning for that to be the case. Other than that you aren't scumhunting at all...

Oh I missed that question earlier.

I was wrong about you. I don't think you are scummy anymore.

I thought you were scummy because of your first 2 posts. But now it seems more like you didn't had a good feel into this game yet and tried your luck with making 2 cases.

I am actually leaning town on you now.


Other than this, you've posted your "willing to lynch" lists but they have basically been JAtownie and a bunch of lurkers/non-posters.... and vayne who is trolling.

Who do you currently want to lynch?

In one of my first games I didn't know what to do so I started out with making 2 cases, both cases were horrible because I was new to the game, and I received a decent amount of flak for it. But I continued playing trying to learn and post 1 liners to help town. I see the same in JAT currently.

My fav lynch target can be found in the lists I make and will make.


Okay, and that's cute and innocent and stuff but being wrong does not a scum make. Go scumhunt, find scum. Making a list of 5 people which includes 4 lurkers and the current thread sentiment target, and then taking back the suspicion on the current thread sentiment target, does not make for a useful list.

Who do you currently want to lynch, and why? One name, couple of reasons. C'mon

I'm getting the feeling that we might be in a game with super active scum, for sure at least a part is.
Clarity, XRZ, hzflank, Rayn, JAT, Vayne are my new suspects with Papers flip in mind. Stutters gives me a fairly townie impression now, and Koshi has actually been very transparent, and doesn't use my voteswitch as autoscum argument like Rayn does.

This is kinda funny, still have to make somewhat conclusive cases on the dudes though.

What I notice though is the way especially Clarity, XRZ and JAT make their cases.
They are all of the sort:

[list]
[*] Quote post
[*] This guy is doing x scummy shit
[*] Quote post
[*] Then he did x scummy shit
[*] Quote post
[*] rinse repeat
[list]

It's the sort of post someone makes when he goes through someone's filter with the intent in mind to find as much scummy shit as he can, and to paint whatever he finds as scummy. This was also my issue with FLANK, the guy painted whatever he found about PS in the worst way possible, even things I considered to be townie, for example his change of mind, and his kinda positive reads on null people.

What I also noticed is that Flank agreed with me on JAT being scummy early in the game, but doesn't give a fuck about him for the rest of the game. He also said he was reluctant to pursue him cause he didn't trust Oats, which is kinda bullshit, I've almost never seen a townier Oats than in this game.

Here are examples for the Case-from-scum pattern I see:

This comes up every game. How scummy does someone have to be for you to want to lynch them over a lurker? You have to consider that lynching lurkers provides very little information whereas lynching scummy people might tell us a lot about how people are related to one another.

Lurkers are liabilities later in the game. I don't have a problem with taking them out sooner, rather than later. If you are stuck in a potential mylo/lylo situation with a lurker, it is no fun. Of course, if some one is overly scummy we should lynch them first.

Day 1 lynches are always interesting though. It is hard to get solid reads and judge interactions between players.


2nd post. A pretty safe post leaving himself wiggle room. Says he doesn't mind voting a lurker because they are a libability later in the game. True, but it's more of a liability to lose the game before we get to late game. Backs it up that it's hard to get a read...reinforcing his idea that it's not a bad idea to lynch a lurker.

As in any other game of limited information. Day 1 has the least amount of material to draw from and thus is harder to deduce a solid fos. As the game progresses and people are pushed off the boat, you can begin to seem "teams" form and motivations for lynches and kills.

Off the top of my head, I thought someone should day Vig him to make the day 1 lynch easier. As we approached the vote I thought that Paper and Koshi were both more likely to flip scum than JAT, so it would of been stupid for me to push for his lynch. I was already pushing hard enough for Paper's lynch..

At this point I think that Koshi is much more likely to be scum than JAT. There are also other people that I want to look into.

In fact calling JAT scum during this night phase would be too easy for me. JAT looks scummy due to sheeping the lynch early and generally being inactive, but I cannot actually read more into that until I or someone else questions him more.

So you thought me and paper were scum but you made a comment about me going to use paper his green flip to pressure you.

lololol.


There is a very big difference between thinking that someone is scum and knowing that someone is scum. Especially on day 1.


You said he was voting PS so he could push you in case he turned up town, which is nonsensical for someone who thought PS was scum.

You know my half-a-dozen scumreads, if you want to help me get a better read of you, could you give me your opinion on them?If they aren't your scumbuddies it should end up being unbiased and you have nothing to fear.

I thought that Paper was the most likely to flip scum on day 1. I think that it is rare to actually lynch scum on day 1, so that means that I thought there was a 50% or so chance of Paper being scum. I thought that there was less chance of each other person being scum.


I paint whatever Paper does in a scummy light because I think he is scum. I am not going to phrase things like I think Paper is a shining beacon of town while I am pushing a case on him.

As I have already explained in this thread, my early vote on Paper was not meant to stick. I did not intend to tunnel him but I think that his posts were bad enough to warrant me pushing for his lynch.


In no instance you show ANY doubt about Paper, pulling a 50 % chance out of your bum looks terrible, especially in light of the fact you did never listen to any arguments I have shown you for PS being town, instead you tried to use them against him.

If you were really so convinced about Paper being scum, then that doesn't need a 50 % justification.
During the day, you often defended yourself against the accusation that you're tunneling him.
Yet you also said you would paint things scummy cause you thought he was scum.

In summary, you lack the sense of righteousness you should have if you were a townie.
You do cause you realize that the post to Koshi looks terrible, and you need to make something up to justify that you noticed that

Koshi was pushing you, and would have used PS flip against you.
That wouldn't have been your concern if you were town genuinely believing that PS was scum, you would have rather argued that Koshi was bussing his teammate now that he didn't manage to defend him.

Instead you argued that he would have used PS' flip against you.

Now you have to weaken your retrospective scumread on PS to make up for that mistake.

That's my take. Any particular point you think I'm wrong about? Do you realize why I'm suspicious of you?

What Flank did in that post wasn't exactly amazing, but so weren't FT's actions.
I think I like his last post, that said, I'll need more time to evaluate Flank's play, andI very probably won't lynch him tomorrow. I prefer focusing on other dudes for now.

That said, Koshi, you have lacked some assertivity in your last posts (some were provocative) and I would like to hear more from you. Who do we lynch if it isn't Flank?

Rayn, I want you to tell me that thiscase is

1. Scummy, 2. Terrible.

XRZ is basically summarizing points he disagrees about with PS, and using that as reason to push him as scum, then uses any other stuff against him as well. It's not a clean "I think this dude is scum cause I think scum would do xyz and town abc", it's a bunch of posts along with commentary about anything negative they could contain.

If you look at the cases by clarity, JAT and XRZ I posted, you will notice they all have that pattern. The same pattern from clarity's case in the LXI game you also played in, the same case which got clarity lynched (although not just for the pattern, but for some other reasons)..

That said, I wonder why XRZ doesn't mind Vayne bullshitting up the thread with obvious troll posts up until this point, and only has eyes for PS, that isn't consistent at all with his indication that he thinks bullshit posts aren't townie (the underlined part)

I also don't understand why he says he can accept the possibility of the posts being joke posts when it ends up having no relevance for his read. He still keeps pushing him afterwards.

@ Clarity

I'm not just thowing three accusations and seeing what sticks. I'm seeing three people who I think have a chance at being scum make cases in very similar ways. Going through post by post in their target's filter and summarize things that are supposed to attract people to the wagon.

It's true that what got you caught in LXI wasn't just the style of the case, but it's also true that it's the style of case you made as scum.

If you're indeed town and want me to convince on it, it would be appreciated if you gave me your insight on my other suspects. You can imagine I'm interested in seeing how you guys interact with each other.

Rayn, XRZ scum

Two of Vayne/Clarity/JAT pretty much.

I'm not stopping to post this night until I've convinced town that XRZ is scum. Case incoming.

I think paperscraps and firmtofu are a good 1,2 wagon combo for day 1.

I don't think both are scum, but I think its a high chance one of the two are. Really strange initial votes on me by both of them. I don't understand why I had to be voted because I didn't provide a reason for a tone read I made. Paperscrap's vote is even more bewildering because he states he was "joking in all his posts." So, if they were townies making these votes I would have to assume they are trying to see if anybody jumps on my bandwagon and gain some information from it....but then they really quickly unvote. Just really strange town play IMO. Really can't see this being done as a scum/scum combo. It draws a little too much attention. Again, could be town/town, but I think its really likely a scum/town combo here.


This guy thinks PS joke vote still makes him scum. Remember his previous post where he said he could accept the possibility that it was a joke post? Well yeah, he doesn't. That post was perfectly pointless, he's waffling around PS and FT, and thinks they are both scum for their votes on him. All other reasons XRZ mentioned in his case don't seem to matter any more, as shown in the next post.

I forgot to address your other point hzflank.

I think I've stated who is more likely to be scum by the small case I put on paperscraps and the fact that I voted for him.

Why is me advocating the 2 wagons bad? I feel like I will get a lot of useful information regardless of how they turn. My scum lean on paperscraps isn't even that strong...and if he actually was joking then it's a very slight lean. Still, based on their interactions with me and their voting history on Day 1, I firmly believe that one of those two is scum.


This post is important. Why? Cause it proves XRZ's previous case was bad, and scummy, like I said. He summarized some points he thought PS was wrong about and used them against him, and only one point was the joke post PS made.

What's scummy? All the other points XRZ mentioned in his case don't matter at all now. The only thing he's deeming important now is that joke post by PS, and he says that if he believed that it was really a joke post by PS, then it would only become a slight scum lean, effectively admitting that all points XRZ previously mentioned against PS didn't really matter to him, proving his "case" was fake.

Btw that was a pretty slamdunk case on XRZ.

One correction though:
thinks they are both scum for their votes on him


XRZ emphasizes that he only thinks one of the guys is scum, not that both are, cause it would "attract too much attention to scum to vote him like that".

I did read it.
And it could be bad tunneling townie.


And you think bad tunneling townies forget their reasons for calling someone scum like that?
How is it tunneling anyway if he throws away his case to weaken his own read of PS?

He could have gone like: "Joke post or not, he's still scum for the other reasons I mentioned". That would have been tunneling townie.
Instead he doesn't care about his OWN REASONS.
How is that even tunneling townie.
Jesus christ, Oats.

How do you explain he's ignoring Vayne for posting trash when saying this:

Posting some fluff for the sake of posting and then disappearing is not. I'd rather he didn't post at all, or just make a "i'm going to bed see you guys tomorrow" post instead.


But when posts have 0 use and possibly 0 intentions of helping the scum hunt...then it's not really a funny joke anymore.

Stop defending me you mofos lol.

You want an explanation why I didn't pay attention to FT's case? Didn't read it. I found him scummy since he complained about me avoiding his questions, not for his case, and I didn't pay attention to XRZ at the time.

I'll also add that while me and FT often mention the same posts, our observations and conclusions seem to be different.
That's what I get from having just looked through his case at least. I argue that XRZ is scum for mentioning reasons he stops seeing as important, unless I missed something that's not an argument Tofu uses.

The part we have in common is the way XRZ could accept that it was a joke post, but doesn't really get conclusive on it.

And to address your main case against me Virax.

I lessened my scum read on papers when he posted that his entire day of posts was a joke. The higher the chance I think he was actually joking the whole time, then, the less scummy I deem his posts. However, the next time he comes to the thread, he goes back on the fact that his entire day was a joke. He said that he was trying to get a read from me. Is trying to get a read from someone a joke? The rest of his day's posts were poor too. That is what reinforced my read on him as a scum.


It's not that his entire day of posts was a joke, his vote on you was a joke, and his "let's go lurk" post was sarcastic.
You also used arguments in his previous posts, where he discusses lurker lynching, against him.

Oats, weren't you the guy who said that scum doesn't get jokes? Why do you have such a hardon for defending this guy?

Anyway, XRZ's waffling on the joke shit was ridiculous. Here again, the points of his case:

2nd post. A pretty safe post leaving himself wiggle room. Says he doesn't mind voting a lurker because they are a libability later in the game. True, but it's more of a liability to lose the game before we get to late game. Backs it up that it's hard to get a read...reinforcing his idea that it's not a bad idea to lynch a lurker.



So he knows that we need interactions between the dead and alive to figure out this game. How does he still advocate lynching a lurker? It is basically a waste of a day to lynch someone with few to no interactions. Have the vigilante shoot them for crying out loud or force the scum to night kill them.


This is part of XRZ's case on PS, and these parts so far are simply points he disagrees about with PS, and yet he uses it to push him as scum target.
______________________________________________________

These are the points PS joked about that XRZ uses against him.


Leaves for a bit then comes back with this. I've thrown him the softest of scum leans and he comes back with a 1 liner. Notice how none of his previous posts have been similar to this at all.



This is just terrible on so many different levels. I'm not even sure how to interpret this. It makes you look scummy at worst or a useless townie at best. I have absolutely 0 idea why you would post this if you were a townsperson.


Now I ask you again, even if XRZ assumed that the last two were joke posts, how did his first two arguments have any value as argument for PS being scum? If he mentions them to prove that PS is scum, why does he ignore them when he's told that PS was joking about the last two, but the first two still apply, cause they clearly were serious?

The answer is that his first two arguments for PS being scum were not just bad, but also were only posted to push a mislynch on PS, they hold no scumhunting value EVEN for the same guy who posted them, and that's why he stops considering them even when the last two arguments were possibly invalid.

If you spent more time arguing on why somebody is scum it would lend more strength to your cause rather than complaining all the time that I have a scumread on you, cause that's what you have been doing this night phase.

What's your take on Vayne, Rayn, Clarity, Koshi etc etc., what are your current scumreads?

Ok, first thing I have to do is take my scum accusation on Vivax back. I went through his filter and it looks really, really townie.
Among other, less important reasons because of those:

He defended Paper very early when there was no reason for scum to do so.
He attacked me with a stupid case but backed off a little when he noticed he overlooked something I said.
His logic for the case against xrz looks good. I don't know if I agree with the whole case though (have to look at xrz again before).
He generally makes sense.

The only things I don't understand are:

Why do you compare case patterns, Vivax? Is it because you think one player writes them for the whole scumteam? I think that would be too obvious and very stupid.

I still don't like your unvote. You claim to have not known the fact that Paper still would be lynched at that point and that you wanted to cause a no-lynch. I can't understand this. If you would have succeeded then we would be in the dark for a whole cycle where we can't really analyse based on any facts. I personally find that to be horrible. Besides you would be extremely likely to be mislynched the next day because of your unvote. It wastes a whole cycle...

The only kind of reasonable explanation (at least for me) for the unvote is that you are scum and you knew Paper would still be lynched, so you tried to get town cred/fuck with other peoples minds. I am not sure that this is the case because you are so townie after all and because I have to admit it would be really bold for scum to make this stunt so for now you are town to me, but it's still weird.


No, it has to do with the way scum attacks others.

Pick target -> Find every post that could look townie in his filter -> Quote them -> Write a bunch of scummy shit you can find in each post -> Summarize, say X IS SCUM, GET ON HIM -> Vote -> Contribution finished.

Basically, the way Clarity and XRZ wrote their cases.

Another really good example is scumArtanis in Pick your Power Boardwalk Empire, just look at the pattern, it's amazingly similar to what clarity and xrz wrote.

Instead I'd rather try and interact with him on his scumreads etc." I think VE's strategy is a very good one. I think it's suspicious but not to the point that it's a full scum tell for me. I'd much rather try and interact with him in a way to not lose him in case he is town.

Fair points that are applicable to anyone.

Look, though my emphasis is on Rayn, I am not tunneled on him. If he proves his innocence, I will move on.

But having reviewed my interactions with him, I am struggling to see how he can even be a remote town read.

(From my POV) At best he is null.

As an aside, I think holding off lynching candidates in the top 5 draft is terrible: just because there is a risk of lynching a townie that held an awesome role.

Vivax, you have a point in your logic regarding those people. I think exazeree looks really fucking awful with his latest contributions. I am not sure about Clarity, he looks like a really bright dude. Who was the third person, JAT? I'm not sure about him either, there were some townie things i pointed out to Oats i found out about him near the lynch. What do you think of them?

Also, flank looks like he has a fucking red stamp painted all over him if i ignore the Oats stuff he said. Should i ignore that? Koshi looks significantly better by his contributiond on N1. FT has disappeared and i think he is mafia.

Thoughts?


I didn't like how JAT joined the PS wagon especially. His reasons were a bunch of disagreements he had with PS's reads, and he seems to lack townie drive (that is quite subjective though, basically communicating as much as possible, pointing out scummy things, try to let yourself get heard) and the activity is generally underwhelming,

Not sure what to make of his latest post where he townreads me, I agree with all the reasons, but I don't know why he thinks this is the time to write a townread post on me, if anything it increases the chance I get NKd, although it's probably pretty high anyway cause I can already get away with the shit I've done between almost no-lynching and fakeclaiming vig.

FT hardpushed XRZ, I believe you'll have to pick one of them cause i don't see that being a bus at all.

What I didn't like about Clarity was his FT case and that he's being rather in the sidelines during this night aside from a few post, but I didn't go through his whole filter yet.

I'm not very fond of you either tbh.

This comes up every game. How scummy does someone have to be for you to want to lynch them over a lurker? You have to consider that lynching lurkers provides very little information whereas lynching scummy people might tell us a lot about how people are related to one another.

If you actually went through the trouble of looking at the context of FT's post at the time, he posted it right after Vayne posted the gif of the gal with the crooked teeth, and Koshi counted to 3 in the thread. He didn't complain about the lurker discussion, he complained about general bullshit posting.

Notice how he explains that he's having a hard time reading CJS because of his roleplay, and Paperscraps would be a good lynch too because he's hard to read. That's all well and good, pressure them to be more easier to read, but the mindset is revealed in the part I bolded.
He first claims that if he had to lynch someone it would be CJS or Paper because they're currently hard to read, but now he's suddenly saying he's suspicious that they're scum? why?

Then he throws a random unsolicited townread into his post, because scum love giving townreads.

=========================================================================================
Do scum love giving townreads? I don't know man. It really depends. It usually means they can hardly push suspicion on the guy they townread without having to explain themselves for the townread. In fact, you can catch scum by finding unexplainable townreads.
As for your other arguments, I don't understand why someone can't assume that people who post fluff and make themselves hard to read are scum. How does that opinion make FT scum?Like, what's so scum agenda-like about what he was doing?

This post is the epitome of useless. Instead of focusing on the information we do have, Firm decides to point out that there's no point in scumhunting because for all we know all the people who haven't posted are scum.

FirmTofu is pretty likely scum and our best lynch right now.

=========================================================================================
Did FT exclusively post that and not do anything else? Had that been the case, then this argument might have been valid, but given that Tofu had shown enough effort before, I don't think this applies at all.

Like, you might wonder why I'm posting this, now that the FT lynch is out of discussion for clarity, but that case looks generally really bad, in a scummy way. It seems designed to push a lynch on a guy without genuinely trying to figure out his alignment, and the judgment is too quick for my taste.

I mistyped a little. Didn't exactly read what clarity wrote. I do not have an informed opinion on whether you are scum. You are however part of the group today that have posted theories which is irrelevant upon the information gained upon the end of day 1. I find that to be more scumlike than townlike.

So what should we do in your opinion now?


Wait and see. Again, I've never played in a game where you can talk N1. I usually have more information to work with at this stage. I have to leave in about 1hr 15 min and will be gone for the rest of N1 phase, but I'm sure I'll be alive tomorrow. And If I do happen to die, it will be a benefit to your eyes. So my plan is to wait and see what happens during the N1 action phase and then contribute D2 if i'm still there.


Opinion on my dissection of the clarity case?
Do you think that case came from a townie?

But aren't you doing exactly what you say is wrong with my case? just picking it apart, finding "mistakes"


I'm fact checking you, and asking you about things I disagree with. Furthermore, I don't say at the end "Clarity is scum and should be lynched". That is something that seems hasty, and doesn't show the intent of gaining information from you, it shows intent of hammering you. Anyway, I want to keep this as objective as possible, so let's just keep talking.

Why not bring it up day 1? Like, way earlier.
Also, yes the case comes on stronger than my read was at the time, but that's the point, I pressure FT and see how he reacts, and he WAS my strongest read at the time so I pushed him


Cause I don't always play to the best of my ability, and I had other clues to go after D1. I found FT scummy myself, and you rather townie at first impression. Reading thoroughly requires a lot of time, I'm already spending more than I'd want to on reading and writing so I don't have the perfect overview of the game.

Anyway, I'm still going through your filter, if I find something I'll tell you. Ezpz.

I remember clarity's case clearly from reading it on day 1. He along with hzflank, I liked a lot of their posts. I even directly told clairty i liked all his posts except one. I think he approached the case from a town perspective. I think you could make your case as a townie or scum. You do the same thing you fault him for. You dissect the case and point out mistakes. He does not really have any logical mistakes. And you do not show insight as to why he would do something as a town and not as scum.


Town wants to solve the game and gain information. Scum wants to act like townie and cause mislynches.
If someone posts a bunch of summarized reasons without a real conclusive reasoning behind it, drops a vote, and fucks off afterwards cause they feel they just contributed then it's probably scum.

What's this random mention of vigi? If you were vigi (which is town only) why would you shoot someone trying to lynch you, or why would the person trying to lynch you be afraid of that. I'm confused.

I'm gonna be gone for a couple of hours but will be back with plenty of time to spare.

I suggest people look into Oats, Stutters and Malongo.
Right now I think I'm willing to lynch Malongo (waiting on him to show up first) or Stutters.

I have a question, what point is there in Malongo sorting people activity wise at all? It doesn't have any relevance for his conclusion. He could simply tell what he doesn't like about hzflank, instead he feels like posting some fancy summary before he does that.

Everyone else is meh-activity wise.

So far my best pick is
hzflank

I really didnt like this post from hzflank:

Yes I would lynch a lurker today. However, I dislike beginning the day with the thought of lynching a lurker. I think the best thing on day 1 would be for at least 3 wagons to form before we even thinking about consolidating (or lynching a lurker). If enough cases are made then there is more chance that one of them is a case against scum and the scum team may react to that. It is hard to make a good case against a lurker, so I would prefer cases against active people to be discussed first.


The think about starting the day lynching a lurker is to force the players to post and force the mafia to make mistakes. I rather start the day forcing lurkers to post than "looking for 2/3 wagons" earlier. Earlier wagons are more likely to be town (in my experience) and the lurker lynching stays aside. Trying to get early wagons is also a good way to close the fence early wich help the mafia more than the town.

His vote so far on Paperscraps is really weak and when I read his filter I found it really reactive (or defensive as he put it).

##Vote: hzflank

Id be happy to lynch CJS for no reason too ( I just hate attention-smurfs ).

Hmm, depends if I knew if there was actually a doc on you. I would prefer a Vig to save his shot until day 2 because I have an awesome conspiracy theory. So if you will 100% survive the night I would ask you to save the shot

If you had to fire now then I would not be against a shot on Stutters as he has a reasonable chance of being scum. I think that JAT has a higher chance of flipping scum, but Stutters is up there. If Stutters flipped red then I would want to lynch JAT next anyway though, so I would say just shoot JAT instead.


I'm not vig, being honest. I wanted to claim I'd shoot Vayne so the mofo would get scared and start posting, but I assumed it was night vig.

Can you explain the bolded to me though? Do you auto-assume that stutters would flip red if shot?

Sure, rayn had a scum read on Koshi pre-flip when he was "99% sure Paper was town".

Therefore, his read on Koshi should not have changed based on the flip, right? I didn't see any post in particular that warranted such a drastic shift from rayn so I'm asking if anyone can procure the post that changed his mind.


That's a good question.
Upon rereading this night's posts of Rayn, I don't see what happened to his Koshi scumread

I think that Stutters would probably flip red, but if I approach it in that order then I am setting myself up for a big fail. Attempting to name the entire scum team when we have no scum flips is foolish, but if I did so then Stutters would be in there. I would prefer to go one step at a time.

I noticed what he brought up at the time that Tofu posted it. I was really tired/unwell at the time so I may have read it wrong, but I had a different take on it to Stutters.

Tofu named a 4 man scum team based on Paper being scum and then implied that he would completely re-evaluate it based on Paper's flip. That is not scummy for the reason that Stutters is saying it is scummy.

If I want to call it scummy then it would be because the 4 names Tofu put together made no sense as a group, but realistically when anyone names a 4 man scum team on day 1 it is going to be horrible. In fact I do not agree with Tofu's reads in general this game, but they are at least believable so I do not think that makes him scum.


More specifically, do you think that the point mentioned could have come from a scum stutters?

I don't know what do think of the whole rayn/vivax/koshi trifecta. Koshi is probably town though.

Scum is probably some combination of JAT/hzflank/exarezee and possibly rayn. I highly doubt vivax and rayn are on the same team, but I can't decide which one is scum.

Vivax's unvote looks like scum trying to cause a no lynch, but I highly doubt scum would want to draw so much attention to themselves unless they had a back-up plan. Vivax's filter also feels really town to me aside from the part where he votes me for finding him suspicious.
Null

rayne's play is consistent with his town meta. He's been all over the place, much like me, and switches his reads on the fly. I don't like his reads and I think they are scummy, but his behavior doesn't seem like something scum would pull.
Null-slightly scum

hzflank has been pressured by koshi and malongo quite a bit and has chosen to sit in the sidelines for the majority of this game. I'm going to filter dive him and see if there's something I missed. I'm currently looking at him very closely.
Leaning scum

exarezee had a very townie approach to the lynch and stayed with his reads the entire game. Although much of his early game posting was scummy, I think he has redeemed himself with his behavior somewhat. However, with the flip, I'm going to have to look at him in detail. I'm not willing to clear him yet because the flip does incriminate him a little bit.
Null-slightly scum

JAT had a very suspicious delurk timing today. I can't help but feel he's laughing his ass off while vote out a townie, only to pop into the thread as soon as night begins to make himself look townie.

Thus, a PS town flip exonerates them.

Stutters is still scum to me. His actions during the flip are unforgivable and his case against me isn't even really a case at all.


Did you simply forget to add him among your scumreads post-flip?
