They were far from specific, hence they were general. The case in question. On October 01 2013 10:49 kitaman27 wrote: The case against FirmTofu ![]() As I mentioned earlier, WaveofShadow, Zaragon, Umasi, and Mattchew all mentioned FT as one of their mafia suspects before their deaths. All three players that died last night wanted to kill him. These kills were strange enough that I think it is likely that they were picked out for their reads. On day one, FT is clearly around and reading the thread at the start of the game, yet he fails to provide a lynch candidate. He appears to be afk towards the end of the day and never votes, so I'll chalk this up as a null tell. Once night two starts, he comes out with the trademark "large post that says absolutely nothing". Apparently addressing the vig situation really means "I'm going to list 10 different players you could consider shooting based on activity". It really shouldn't taken this much time for him to essentially tell us that he is fine with a third of the game getting shot. He later posts his read on Zaragon and tells the vig to shoot him. If this was his scum read, then why did he just spend the last fifteen minutes with his list post? Throughout the game, he produces several half-hearted cases against players, but he never actually goes after his targets. There is a limited amount of interaction with the players he suspects. A lot of the time, he asks others to ask him questions, rather than contribution on topics that he finds important on his own. This post is a really generic soft defend. He doesn't want to commit to a town read on Ceph, so he states that he is fine with a vig shot, yet wouldn't lynch him. This allows him to vote elsewhere later on in the cycle. This is the scummiest post in his filter. I'm lost count of the number of times a scum player shows up after the lynch only to yell at town for something they showed no interest in preventing. He criticizes town for the LoneMeow lynch. The problem? He hasn't defended LoneMeow all game. He voted Umasi, a player who had no chance of getting lynched and essentially went afk again when the lynch was being decided. I gave him a pass for doing it on day one, but this is now two days in a row where he has displayed his apathy for the lynch. When he performs his post lynch analysis, he still never acknowledges that cephiro is scum. So if he is frustrated about town going "full retard", how could he think it was a terrible lynch if the alternative wasn't incredibly scummy in his opinion? On day three, he votes geript, but makes this post about Cephiro. Who exactly is he trying to convince? The vote is clearly going to be a blow out. Despite not being able to see scum motivation from Mocsta, he has a revelation post flip and notices the connection. Is this honestly something that he wouldn't consider beforehand? There is a pretty apologetic theme from most of his posts and there are several points where he seems more interested in defending himself or making himself look good with unnaturally worded posts, rather than pushing his prefered mafia lynch. I'm not sure if there is anyone in this game that actually has a town read on FT, which generally points to mafia. ##Vote: FirmTofu "trademark post that says nothing" is a generalization. Kita thinks this is scummy because he's seen scum play this way in the past. "This post is a generic soft-defend" is a generalization. Kita thinks this is scummy because he's seen scum soft-defend each other in the past. "I'm lost count of the number of times a scum player shows up after the lynch only to yell at town for something they showed no interest in preventing" is a generalization. Kita thinks this is scummy because he's seen scum showing up after lynch to yell at town. "There is a pretty apologetic theme from most of his posts and there are several points where he seems more interested in defending himself or making himself look good with unnaturally worded posts, rather than pushing his prefered mafia lynch" is a generalization. Kita thinks this is scummy because people who apologize a lot generally flip mafia in his past experience. "I'm not sure if there is anyone in this game that actually has a town read on FT, which generally points to mafia." is a generalization. Kita thinks this is scummy because he's seen people flip scum when no one has a town read on them. Basically, I can't "defend" myself from this case because it relies on generalizations about how scum usually play. I'm sure scum do this a lot, and Kita would be right a large majority of the time if he applies this logic to all of his games. However, these heuristics simply do not hold true for me. Kita has never played with me and does not know that I play this way as town and scum. | ||

These heuristics would work in a majority of cases. They just don't happen to work for me. I would say he is town, yes. | ||

Votes Cephiro, sounding very confident... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=423071¤tpage=191#3813 ...then switches to geript randomly with a pretty shitty reason when all hell broke loose between the LM and Cephiro lynches. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=423071¤tpage=200#3981 This is the perfect scum move. It's silent, but it did a good job to guarantee that LM would be lynched instead of Cephiro. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=423071¤tpage=242#4824 I think he made a move to switch to geript to test the waters and then switched back to Cephiro when it was clear he couldn't get away with it. | ||

Yes, I was wrong on Umasi and geript. However, both of these players were extremely scummy. You should read my posts and see if you can follow my thought process on these two players. If it makes sense to you, don't vote me. If it doesn't make sense, then vote me. That's how you should play. Voting patterns aren't going to figure out the game. You need context. | ||

What would he do then? The entire town would just lynch him the following day and we all know that a 1town for 1 mafia trade is terrible for mafia. The cop claim makes no sense from a mafia perspective. CC has to be town. | ||

Right now, I'd rather kill deconduo. My case on him is a few posts back. His behavior during the voting time was extremely sketchy. Better to kill him now than later considering he's not going to make himself useful anytime soon. I definitely don't want him around during LYLO. ##vote: deconduo | ||

You've talked more about Mocsta and you've expressed fear that I may flip town. If you were town, I'd expect you to be voting for Mocsta right now. | ||

Persona: FT didn't bother too much. But it was okish. Decent filter. Scum Desert: Didn't follow it closely but it was really bad right? he had 1 page filter. Town Seems like more tryhard as scum. 8 pages here. Remember how I told you rayn voted CR without good reasoning over FT? Yeah... This relatively recent post of yours says that my meta is not in line with a scum FT. If you truly believed this, why are you still voting me, Koshi? | ||
