In the meantime I do not know anyone's playstyles so I do not have an adequate basis for a policy lynch as of yet but that will most probably change after I've dug around into peoples playstyles. For now, does anyone know other people's 'metas'? Do some people play differently when they are scum compared to their town play? I know it may not be glaringly obvious differences but I'd like to know who the weaker people are in this game (guess you can add me to that). | ||

There's so many other reasons you could get behind an rng lynch "rng'd" by someone else (quotes because sure that long explanation sounds random, but couldn't he just find something and guide it to Oats?). Reasonable is not the first thing that springs to mind. And no, "Ho ho! I was merely FAKING my vote old chap!" isn't a good excuse for finding it reasonable. I find it reasonable to vote for you, though. I don't trust people who proclaim themselves as weak, especially in a game titled "World Heavyweight Championship mafia". You saw the name, you knew what you were going for. You didn't feel weak when you signed up, so why do you feel weak now? ##vote: Holyflare Barring any reasonable alternative (hence the writing about finding information about people's playstyles later) I would be fine with an rng vote. There are not 'so many reasons' to get behind somebody elses rng vote however. You rng because in the first day you have almost no information and so statistically your best bet of finding scum would be to random vote a person. His method seemed the most reasonable method to me and the for now implies that I'd like to hear alternatives otherwise I will stick with the vote. Even so, I understand that an rng'd vote can be tampered with or created in favour of him, however, he in no way can control the TL random generated post number or the number of people in the game to divide by. Weaker by no means implies weak. The whole notion of being weak is subjective, I was referencing that people (i.e, marv.) had pointed out previously that I would be a pain to play with (based on a previous game he briefly checked) and wanted to know others that shared a similar mindset to him. I certainly do not feel weak, in fact, I am most confident in my ability to analyse posts and exhibit townlike behaviour throughout the game. Whether people agree with this though is not my place to say. | ||

It implies that your method is fine and he does not mind the RNG in general. Following this up you asked him why he wouldn't want to vote Oats even after your sound RNGing to which he replies he will not random vote. It's only when it comes to his 'silly' post that he has jumped on me for agreeing with your RNG methods. If he even read your post it was pretty obvious that it was totally random and there was nothing factoring the RNG other than RNG itself. The thing which seems the most questionable to me is while, yes, I did call myself a weaker player in comparison to the rest of you, I asked several other questions about other players playstyles which he has completely glossed over which is no help to me or other people whatsoever. Dedicating a post on me was a stifle to conversation that I see as useful. Not only that but he questioned why I would call an RNG vote reasonable? It's more than reasonable to RNG given the circumstances. As for you BH. I like the RNG voting in general. It's a means to an end. You also state that you're for a policy lynch, this I can only get behind on a case by case basis. While policy lynching is most definitely an underused tactic on this forum I feel that it will mostly be down to RNG (what game of mafia isn't?) anyway and so a system that was pre-devised (like the one you posted) would be my prefered alternative. The fact you had to explain that your random system was in fact random baffles me. There is another person that I am confused about however, raynpelikoneet. I do not know if he's a troll in other games but this game so far his posts have been more lacking to say the least. | ||

Well, first off, I'm talking to people who aren't Oats and are town. You personally know that of the 8 non-you players, 2 are scum. So you'd think it would be a 2/8 chance of an RNG hitting scum. Pretty lame right? WRONG. If the RNG is on the doctor and the lynch starts to gather steam, he'll surely claim. This means that the doctor isn't even in the lynch pool, and we can roll again for a new RNG. this means we can discount one town player from our odds, meaning that you have a 2/7 (over 30%!) chance of lynching scum with RNG! | ||

slOosh at least started asking questions when he initially joined into the discussion although has not really contributed since then at least he read up to date or so it seems. He's not too into meta but is alright saying that oats' play is just like his meta view of him though which was a little odd. Need to hear more on that side of things. | ||

Shit I don't even know what to write... Been so looong. Oats seem either weird, confused or scummy. Not sure which yet. The first sentence still doesnt make sense to me after reading it 5 times (Hungover so might be my fault). it also baffles me that he seems so sure about who to lynch so early. There are other examples: This whole posts is nonsense aswell. But through all this I somewhat still think he is town... hmm... HF's rambling about meta and being weak is rubbish. Him jumping the rng wagon, as pointed out by Risen, without any good reason is rubbish. After this, despite that BH think he have been posting better, he havent really done anything. He has sheeping BH and using BH arguments to push oats. ##Vote Holyflare Really? I have plenty of reasons for doing it and I've explained them about a million times now. There is an entirety of posts between my first post and then that are not "rubbish". Despite the fact that I've seemingly used someone's arguements do you not still think the points that have arisen are apt in this context? Surely, in a game with no cop you do your utmost to seem the most towny and discover who is also a townsperson. How do you do that? Asking that person questions, finding connections between that person and others for later, has oats done any of this? No. Has risen done any of that? No. Sheeping a vote and giving weak reasoning yourself is in my opinion poor play, coming to the conclusion that someone is still town after all of the points made and the fact that you think his posts are nonsense is also just more poor decision making. | ||

The thing reads like he came into thread while still developing thoughts, got called out and is all frazzled out for it. I disagree that voting HF is the easy way to go, because at the time three people (me then BH then clarity) had given town reads on him. Scum willingly voting HF after seeing three people give town reads means that they are ready to engage attention. So I don't think it was an easy "park my vote move along". Firstly this doesn't even make sense. Dirkzor just coming into the thread with a straight up single paragraph on me and then voting me over the guy he wrote the rest of the post on was outwright confusing to say the least. Why specifically would he even mention that much on oats compared to say, risen and ray (who nobody has so far even mentioned despite his ridiculous 2 posts)? What you imply is that he actually had read the thread in its entirety to know that 3 people had given town reads on me.

Only little thing was this (and it's not really worth noting in the sheeping department): Other then that HF have been more original then I said he had been. Hmm.. That clashes with my previous belief. After re reading I'm also leaning more scum on oats. But I'm not sure it is entirely because of re-reading or just because I now think HF looks less scum. The problem with oats is that he have done some wierd shit as I pointed out earlier. But the feel I get when reading his filter is of someone who cares... It clearly shows that he in fact did not read the thread and only the beginning/my filter. He doesn't value his vote, he doesn't read the thread before posting a conclusion and then backtracks when people call him out on it claiming to have 'reread'?

Firstly, I understand that people are finding scumreads/slips, however, most of them seem to be circumstantial. (i.e. Why would town "x" do this compared to scum "x", eg. Risen case.) What I would most like to see in a day 1 lynch is who is being the LEAST useful/scummy and who is just sliding by. In my eyes, the people under the main focus at the moment; Dirkzor, Risen, Sloosh, Rayn and Oats (clarity has been mentioned too) should be eliminated 1 by 1 in terms of rating of their overall posting to determine who is the optimal lynch for day 1 and ultimately who will be most useful in an endgame lylo scenario. So, Dirkzor I made my case on him HERE. Since this post, (bear in mind his vote was on me for a long time even though he supposedly "didn't think HF was scum anymore") he's had to defend himself a myriad of times, against the same points that I originally brought up in my linked case. Why has he had to do this? (+ Show Spoiler + On October 03 2013 19:58 Oatsmaster wrote: LIES. So here I would assume you have a scumread on him. Then And now you think hes townie.

From what he have done so far is thinking real long and hard about BH/oats interaction without ever coming to a conclusion. He don't want to comment on anything else in the game because "it have been said" and "i agree". What? Are you 100% in agreement? You don't have anything to add to any case or any resservations about any case or reaction thereof? This is the worst: BH is in the thread and want to talk about something that rayn have pondering. Instead of asking BH questions about the things he slides of and does nothing... Rayn looks like a good lynch actually. But I would still like to hear from Sloosh too. On October 03 2013 15:51 Blazinghand wrote: Okay, doing some thinking and reading. I'll also say that I'm suspicious of clarity for the fact that he's been talking a lot but most of it has been asking questions or sheeping. His vote of Dirk is scummy imo. Now that I've had time to think about it, I don't award him any credit for explaining my thoughts. this is something scum can and does easily do to look like a contribution. It wasn't worthless though so it's not a scumtell. That being said, I don't think clarity is actively disrupting the thread. In his questions an attempts to interact, although they can be incoherent, they look like he's trying to develop reads and interact with other players in a constructive way. I don't like that he doesn't have any serious long posts with analysis. His conversation is good, but he hasn't seriously followed it up. That being said, Clarity is generally active and in the thread. Like Dirk, he hasn't posted enough analysis, but at least he's around. I think his alignment will become more clear one way or another as the game goes forwards. I am not willing to lynch Clarity today. I don't like Dirk's entrance into the thread either. It doesn't make a huge amount of sense. he hasn't played amazingly, but this post in particular (LINK) gives him a little bit of credit in my eyes. He's willing to admit he is wrong later, but ultimately his contributions today are lacking. His filter is short and his only serious posts (link) (link) are summary or backtracked. Due to the fact that he hasn't produced serious analysis or things he has been held to, I am willing to lynch Dirk today. He is not my top option however. I don't like sloosh's reasoning for voting clarity. scummy, but not oats tier. I swing around now to Rayne. He is normally a big poster and interacts a lot. He writes cases, he pushes, he and I usually have serious interactions by this point in the game. This game, though, he seems quiet and subdued. I don't like this. His entire filter is questions, insinuations, questioning insinuations, and weird one-liners where he seems not to understand things. This is really not what I'd expect from rayne. His stances are all soft and fluffy, and he's really not contributing and maing his opinions and stances known. Rayne isn't afraid of that kind of thing. Rayne isn't afraid to lead. Not normally, at least. ##unvote Oatsmaster ##vote Rayne http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=430498&user=raynpelikoneet&view=all LOOK AT RAYN'S FILTER. It's not the filter of a town rayne. I know it's majority lynch, so I am currently willing to shenannie onto Oats or Dirk, but please, take a look at what i've liked and at rayne's overall filter. He's revealed nothing. He's pushed nothing seriously. He is all smoke and mirrors and no substance. 2.3 + Show Spoiler + On October 03 2013 19:47 Dirkzor wrote: Why was/is sloosh so sure I'm town? I'm having a hard time to figure this out. His reasoning and the way he see my timeline fit rather good with reality, but why did he come to that conclusion when no one else did/have? I know I'm town, but I also know that my first post wasn't stellar... Why was he defending me? Maybe it only looks weird to me since I know my alignment is town, but it looks preemptive if I was lynched. Anyone agree? I'm not sure I can just get over the first few posts no matter how he defends himself, he had "opinions" based on reading the thread/filters but then apparently didn't read. Apparently it was then all just a tactic to mess shit up? No, I don't think so. Dikzor is still one of my top lynches, although, I like his somewhat scumhuntyness too. Risen Risen has 1 page of filter, however, I haven't checked up on him to determine what his normal play is like. From the get go he was aggressive and put a vote on me. Which as I've pointed out previously, I liked. I found this to be a townlike attitude and after I responded he subsequently unvoted, although with no explanation. After that he kind of fell away for a bit and I felt that he seemed somewhat uninterested in the whole affairs of the game. When he returned he posted an entire case on clarity which I felt was somewhat lacking. His points can work both ways for town clarity and scum clarity and there were much more viable candidates at the time that were worth a lot more attention, especially as this is day 1 after all! I don't mind the case, at least it was some content and aggressive, in line with his nature that I've seen so far. What does strike me as suspicious was after people started critiquing it he just fell completely timid, something I would not expect him to do. He was shot down and did not push, he just asked people for their thoughts. He didn't fight his case. After that he's just disappeared. In conclusion, there isn't much to go by but the stuff that's there is aggressive and although seemingly confirmation biasy it got people talking about another potential person rather than beating the dead horse that other people were doing for a while. I like his aggressive nature, to the point where he would not be my first vote choice, but I want to see him defend himself a bit more. Sloosh He entered the thread with an opposite view to thread sentiment which people have taken in 2 ways: Scum with knowledge or town because of boldness. Obviously you can't really determine which but I like the fact that it got people talking about other areas.

He goes from nothing compelling: here to: One piece of wiffle-waffle and then I change my mind This was totally out of line from what he was previously posting. His defence on Dirk despite his posting, his defence on others in the thread to straight out accusing someone he just said a case wasn't too compelling on makes him stand out like a sore thumb. He is probably my highest priority for lynching right now. Rayn What can I say but mirror other peoples thoughts? BH, Dirk etc. have all pointed out that his posts are shit. BH mentions his meta and I've done some reading, he makes cases, he participates. So far he's posted NOTHING that is helpful at all, literally one liners etc saying that he's read the thread and is contemplating what the fuck was happening between BH/Oats etc. I don't really need to explain anymore as you can just read his filter. He is my joint top lynch with Sloosh. Oats He starts out with his vote on me, convinced I am scum etc etc. He has the whole debacle with BH in which nothing really happens, he defend the fact that his vote is still on me, however, does not try and question it or contemplate that anyone else could be scum. I attribute this to the fact that it was early on in the game and there was no total alternative but it still seemed a bit tunnely to me (Which he actually addressed later on when he unvoted). + Show Spoiler + On October 02 2013 14:01 Oatsmaster wrote: All those words.

I think that marv is null, he hasnt shown much of anything either way. I think Oats is making points about people that were original (ie. risen, although they work both ways) and he has stuck to Dirkzor, which I think was good seeing as people seemingly dismissed everything about him. I honestly think a lynch on oats would be a bad thing at this current point in time. I know my vote was/is on him but that was because I had been called out urgently yesterday and I apologise.

You quote the post where I mention oats vote on dirkzor. I in no way have implied that I did not like "oh i've de-tunneled" in fact, the spoiler underneath quotes the post that I was referencing that vote on dirkzor on. It was in reference to the point that oats made about people with an aggressive first post vote shouldn't be voted on but then he voted on Dirk anyway. I found this hypocrtical. However, within the next post Oats had already explained himself. I found oats to be scummy but on further analysis when I returned (I can't be here all the time???) I re-read peoples filters and this that is where the big post is. If you are getting at me for not keeping my vote on oats, I don't know why, he is CLEARLY the least scummy out of the ones that people have been referencing and not worthy of a vote IMO today.

1. Started with RNG 2. Developed concerns that Oats was not willing to discuss anything. 3. Oats dropped his case on me after he said he was tunelling/like what I posted. 4. Addresses my concerns but still seems a little fishy - more of a null read but still one of the scummy people 5. Analyse rest of people - Oats is no longer most scummy | ||

His case he made on me was indicative of someone who did not read around the posts he was making a case on and has deflected from discussion that I think would have been more appropriate especially concerning the thread sentiment at the moment.

I also glean that your scum read of me is not substantially strong, mainly based on what I haven't done rather than what I have done. And yet you are content to let me sail is disconcerting. But objectively thinking that's me just being upset for being, what I feel like, as unfairly lynched. Maybe I did play really poorly. Ok. That's that. Umm ... Risen is #1 pick for having 0 followup on the clarity case. Additionally he finds rayn suspicious of finding him town, which is strange as if he was town that should be the norm. You don't actively look people with town reads on you and then do a PBPA on them. Still don't see what the problem with Dirkzor is. I think he made an honest mistake with what he perceived as a contradiction in my view of Risen's case and my vote on Clarity. Oats I probably feel moderate to strong town. We've played a bunch of games back to back so maybe that's where I'm getting it from. He is surprisingly consistent and even predictable, and his playstyle looks like that this game. Rayn I don't know too much since the majority of his posts were in the 21~40 range, which I was only able to skim. Prior to that he was pretty lackluster. Lack of activity isn't alarming (I recall he has like a 12 hr job or something), but what he did with that time "I don't know what BH is doing" and then the lack of followup on him was lame. Holyflare I felt like a meticulous person, very structured in his posts (My brain says this is what Oats initially voted him for, cause Oats doesn't like wordiness), so I relate with Holyflare. I would still take care not to let him blindside everyone b/c he is a newbie or whatever. Koshi did that during Sicilian I thinks. This leaves the trio of Marv BH and clarity. If BH didn't claim doctor I probably would still go after him. I don't like marv, but only because I'm sulky. Clarity as I have explained, you had intertwining earlier, and as i have said, I didn't feel like that was a large enough sample size. Scum can intertwine with town. But they usually won't over large portions of time, which is what pg 20~40 showed me. Yup that's it. Umm ... I'm sort of ok with dying right now ... I've made peace with it. In anycase, here's my vote of confidence fwiw after my flip. ##Unvote: Blazinghand ##Vote: Risen Why would you ever be ok with dying if you were town? How has anyone not mentioned this. BH talks about marv going against the 'wincon' but when sloosh just posts something like that how can we ignore it? If you are town you fight to the very last minute to prevent yourself dying. You KNOW you are town, everyone else should therefore be dumb and wrong. Go out of your way to prove it. Don't just accept your fate. | ||

His objective should be to establish himself as town but he isn't even concerned with it. So why would scum do that, because meta.

You'd probably sit back and let other people do things right, it's a free cycle of 0 scum hunting. If you are town you should be looking at the people who either weren't doing any of that or were trying to stifle that discussion. I know you are keen to say marv is town etc etc, but he was "so sure" that sloosh would flip scum that he has done none of that and questioned others attempts to continue playing the game. Isn't that the perfect cover for scum to do nothing? Now, dirk on the other hand. He knows we're all going to focus sloosh. So why not make a case that looks bad on him and put the final nail into the coffin? It did look pretty convincing and the fact that sloosh just effectively rolled over was more than annoying, however, you can't rule out these 2. Also, marv. Vice versa. Oats did extra scum hunting, particularly pointing out that risen didn't vote sloosh etc. Isn't it overkill to do that extra scum hunting when we "knew" that sloosh was scum? | ||

When BH said we could lynch rayne who was risens top scum read (because of his case) he switched over, his post that I linked to you earlier even said why he went onto sloosh "it wasn't a risen lynch". Clarity was against a rayn lynch. In fact when I said the only other person I'd want to lynch is rayn and he said "no that definitely won't happen" or words to that effect. He didn't push rayn because he got butt hurt 24/7 by everyone saying they won't read his cases bla bla for a second time. It would demotivate anyone. Either way, I will not be voting risen today unless there are some GLARINGLY obvious posts. | ||

But he was lynched and rayn was scum so what you are asking is somewhat silly. Risen has been consistent in his case making and style. He makes long winded cases and makes them based off confirmation biased reads. He made his second case on rayn despite being told to improve on making cases. A lot of unnecessary effort went into it and thus when he was shot down again he felt dejected, this wouldn't happen if he was a scum partner with rayn would it, he asked how to improve it, agreed that he could have cut out half of it etc etc. If you're convinced someone is scum you look at everything incriminating which he did, literally everything. The point you make about not pushing his case is the same point yo made against me at the start too. However, what I wrote above still applies. If you put in all that effort and get shot down a second time you get really really demotivated to push anything. As for you oats, you have played what I see as the most scummy game. You didn't really push people you just agreed with points and sheeped votes. It's not until day/night 2 that you really begin to make a case on someone. The case was weak in my opinion and you're jackhammering it rather than looking objectively at other people that could indeed be scum. Marv is a good player so I've heard, the only thing that's made me see him negatively was the BH argument vut as I understand he dislikes BH for out of game reasons. I would have liked him to leave that out of game though for the sake of making this harder. I still need to read up on his posts though because i have somewhat neglected him till now, which can be a total mishap if I've properly misread him. He was convinced sloosh was scum and so didn't do anymore scum hunting and joked at how we were trying which left me questionable. Dirk was well scummy to start, he obviously had to pick up his posting mishap in order to appear not scummy so I'm not sure i can let him slide. I liked his case on sloosh though it looked very convincing. People have seemingly let him go free. If i had to target someone it would be you oats | ||

You get rid of the mislynchable player, you have to mislynch an actual town read. It's harder to lynch someone who looks town at lylo than a maybe he is town/maybe scum guy that can be too volatile. You can then point out how you are the towniest of town to the rest of the people and win the game. How does this not work out for both you and clarity? | ||

The only reason that oats could be killed was to add further speculation about dirkzor making a desperation move, pretty simple play to make if you think about it coming from you it lets you sit back for an entire day again and not have to do anything but vote for dirkzor. This means that you don't have to do even more extra scum hunting compared to if you left oats alive. Oats was looking for scum, even through the trolling, he was pretty much the only one looking. Now, you can conveniently eliminate another day and as you've painted risen as your next target I presume he will be your choice for the day after. Everytime someone so much as mentions the word marv and scum in a sentence you flip out about how you are "the most town, and have progressed us through most of the game". Now, I'm not saying you are scum, I'm not saying you aren't. Of course I will filter dive you and see whether these feels are baseless or not. This is just a theory after all. | ||

This game confuses the shit out of me but I'll post the abridged version on dirk for now and then look up risen a bit more: You guys really believe this? On October 09 2013 22:20 Dirkzor wrote: Fuck it... I don't think Marv is scum. I kinda did a little bit yesterday but mostly it was to see who followed me there to catch the last scum. Scum wan't to get of marv, right? So whoever sheeped me had to be scum... Yesterday didn't bother me much, but today it is kinda getting to me all that shitcalling from marv. Didn't sign up to get yelled at. Don't want to wait for Risen or HF anymore. Anyway lynch me if you like... ##Unvote ##Vote Risen Think about it logically. He thinks a guy is scum, so makes a case on him, only to not think he is scum after all but then suddenly it's a trap for me and risen. If the guy who he is making a case on is arguing with him, why would he be so put down? He thinks that guy is scum, the guy whose case it's on will literally say anything to make him think he's wrong so why listen to it? If it was a trap he could literally afk and wait for someone to agree with him and then jump him. He feels disheartened because he knows marv is town and can't logically push through his case anymore. This is what marv said he does when he is scum, attacks a person but can't keep it up because he knows he is wrong. Coupled with this straight after: On October 09 2013 22:32 Dirkzor wrote: Yes I am. Look you pointed out why my push was so weird yourself. I've had a town read on you most of the game. I just ended up in a situation where everyone was town. I looked at filters and noone looked scum. So why the hell not... He thought marv was town but made a case on him anyway to lay a trap which he didn't follow through with. What's the point of that??? So what does he do now, votes risen whom he even says: On October 09 2013 22:35 Dirkzor wrote: Risen looks town because of the whole lynch D1 (that part is true). I can't believe Risen would make that big a case on his scumbuddy on 2nd part of day 1 when lynch wasn't decided. That combined with his voteswitches D1. Marv looks town just in general. Only minor things that he looks scum for is his disappearence D1 lynch and the way he acted out D2. I had similar thoughts D2 so I couldn't really say either way. Look, I'm all for finding scum but this oats night kill kinda screws with everything. However, everyone has already theorised about the oats kill and the only player that it can potentially make sense from is Dirk. Risen was all over oats, everyone was finding oats scummy, he could have literally as everyone has already said, ride the dirk/oats train to victory. So, why on earth would he kill oats? It doesn't make logical sense in this scenario (other than killing him because he got on his nerves). | ||

I mean, sure, it would make sense to make a case on like dirkzor or something and get everybody to train back onto him but to make a case on rayn who was on the forefront of everyones minds for a lynch just didn't make sense.

There is no possible way that you could argue that how rayn was playing was not scummy. To me he was clearly the second most reasonable lynch in the game. Posts nothing but crap at the start, jumps onto someone he didn't find that scummy and then afk's on a dirkzor vote till like 20 mins at the end where he then votes sloosh over risen. | ||

That being said when someone is aware of their own meta to that extent it's easy to play to it. So I can't really get a proper read on you either way. If you're mafia, you're probably going to win.

Mainly this post gave me bad feelings about WoS And this with the same sentiment Just seems a bit useless to complain about activity so early in the game when all the euros are asleep. He's not actually forcing lurkers out of hiding or anything, since it's so early that would be dumb, so what purpose do these posts serve?

Granted, this post might have been in context with Koshi's 1,2,3 posts, but that was Koshi trying to prove a point.

Lynch a lurker only if 1) Half the town is lurking or 2) All the active people look genuinely helpful/useful and none of them look like good lynches. Shitting on town, regardless of if you're being a hypocrite or not, is something scum love doing. Then there is the useless vote with an easy out, classic scum: "I am voting for you, and I will keep my vote on you until you do X!" This is not a vote to kill scum, this is a vote to have a vote on someone, and he backs off the moment his demands are met. Not only does he back off the moment he's able to, he's also wishy-washy about the case itself. But the most troubling things I found were his last two posts: 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?

Your whole case on rayn: + Show Spoiler + On October 04 2013 05:18 Risen wrote: Opening post makes no sense. Literally 0 sense. I have no idea what to make of it. More nonsense. This could go either way. Is he being sarcastic with his dundundun, or does he actually think it's reasonable? He could argue either way, and I hate posts that hedge. Trolling in a World Heavyweight Championship/useless filler. Makes total sense from a town perspective (it doesn't). It doesn't make too much sense from scum perspective either, HOWEVER, filler does make sense from a scum perspective. So I guess this is supposed to be his intro post? Wassup? A lot has happened in the thread at this point, how about saying something about it instead of asking a question to no one in particular. More filler. Meta posts are horrible, but it seems to me everyone else is saying this is town Oats. Why is rayn immediately coming into the thread with suspicion on Oats? Is it a hedge against a future oats flip? Is he just trying to take up space? (filler) Why don't you point out why he doesn't look like usual town oats? Oh. Sure. More filler. It's not even a directed question. It's just a "Hey guys anyone know what BH is doing? I haven't read the thread." But wait... He is caught up. He has read the thread. He knows as much as everyone else about what BH is doing. So why ask the question in the first place? In this same post we see he finally has something to say. Why didn't he just say that from the get go? Why not? Any reason? No reason given, no explanation. It's just filler and we're supposed to just take his reads. This is where it first seems to me that rayn knows too much. Does he know they're town? Or is he defending one of his scum team mates. Those are both bad. Sure, but why is it scummy? What about that post makes it scummy? What are you thinking? But you don't make posts unless you've read the thread already. So why do you need to look into him? This is just him taking time to think through his post instead of just giving his thoughts on Dirk. That's scummy. Bullshit. I'm the only one who knows I'm town. I HATE META POSTS. Why are you kinda sure? Why are you waiting for other people to ask you why I'm town, or to explain why I'm town? Why don't you just say why I'm town? Why are you holding these things back? Because you're scum. Why are you still droning on about this? Filler. This isn't pressuring at all. What's the point here? What do you think it means? It's pretty straightforwards. Filler. Holy shit it's a list post. For real? + Show Spoiler + On October 03 2013 21:00 raynpelikoneet wrote: Okay so. First my response to BH: My activity is not alignment indicative. I know i have not done much, because i have not had time to do stuff. That doesn't make me scum. BH's RNG bullshit (which i am going to go into next) has taken basically all my time in this game. I can't let go of something i don't understand, and everything else has been easily understandable in this game. Also BH saying i have been here is wrong. It's just wrong, because it is not true. I have been here when i have been posting, when i have not been posting i have not been here. Then the RNG bullshit: First of all, how this shit started. In his first posts BH proposes Oats RNG lynch. Guess what. After this it's not a random lynch any more. It's "lynch Oatsmaster who Blazinghand randomized". I can't believe that shit went on and on for pages and i can't believe BH really somehow got a scumread on Oats for it. Oats was being totally reasonable in my opinion, called out bad stuff (HF's post and BH's behaviour). There was nothing wrong with it. Yet Blazinghand kept going on and on with that. So what do we have here: Blazinghand: Proposing random lynch the way he did is bad. Could town!BH do it? Probably yes. Would town!BH go on with it and then call Oats scum for flimsy reasons? I have no fucking idea. I especially didn't like his response to Oats when Oats said "i do this all the time as town and never as scum". I even pointed out the post by BH earlier on in thread. That to me seems like "even if people come and say this is what Oats does as town i still have my reasons to lynch him". Being bad =/= being scum. Also Oats was not being bad, he was being reasonable. Oats: Comes out looking best from that shitfest. HolyFlare: That's not a randomlynch for him. It's not, there is no reason to vote for Oats because it's random. No. Risen: His comments were reasonable and his vote was perfectly fine. As for my reads (from towniest to scummiest): marv: This is the marv i like. He's taken the leader position in town and is doing a good job. Pointing out stuff that's bad and having clear stances on things. I would still love to hear his read on BH (i mean, a read with reasoning), because i have not seen much of content from BH. Risen: I liked his stance on the RNG thingy. I liked his vote on HolyFlare. I dunno why he unvoted HF, could you explain that Risen? I liked some things in his case on Clarity, and the case itself to me tells much more about Risen than it tells about Clarity. It mirrors the mindset Risen had in GoT, almost perfectly. There is a lot of stuff he looks form different angle than anyone else. Oatsmaster: Seems like towny!Oats to me. I found his posting during the RNG shitfest weird, as i pointed out before. But all in all he's having a clear thought process and putting his thoughts out there when pressured (marv -- Oats a while ago). If Oats was scum it would be easy to hide behind his playstyle (where he just calls people scum or town and never explains anything for real), this game he needs to be made explain his thoughts, and so far he has succeeded. Clarity: Clarity looked good early on in the game. I can see where he is coming from with his comment on BH being a cool guy (although i don't agree with it - gamewise :p). Clarity now that i have actually understood the early game could you tell me what was good in the RNG discussion? Yes it did produce content, but imo it did produce content that was based on false premises. After this Clarity asks a lot of questions and does not provide conclusions. I can somehow see what he concludes but still, he's not explaining it. I don't like his stance on BH, i like his case on Dirk. HolyFlare: I don't like his vote still being on Oats. Afaik i understand it's because of RNG, which is not in fact rng for him. Other than that he has made some good observations, then nothing. BlazingHand: This guy is pretty much impossible to read for me. Basically he does whatever he does and to me it feels like all the important stuff he tries to say is hidden in a big pile of words. I don't know where his head is at (besides him voting for me, but that's another thing). I don't know why he finds Risen/HF scummy, and his reasons for Oats being scummy are bad. As for now, he apparently doesn't like anyone besides marv... Sloosh: Scummy. I don't understand his townread on Dirk. Says he will get to Risen & HF when he has time. Never follows that up. Then votes for Clarity with his -- apparenly -- scumread Risen. Dirkzor: Horrible opening post. Horrible follow up. Then he says he wants to lynch me or Sloosh, i don't see any reasons from him. When the thread sentiment turns into "Sloosh looks bad" (Clarity voting for him etc.), THEN he places his vote on Sloosh. Best lynch. ##Vote: Dirkzor My comments were reasonable and perfectly fine? No they weren't. I bitched out of the thread because, as usual, no one wants to listen to me except marv who listens to everybody. Where the hell does this Dirk thing come from? Why does it take you this long to finally want to vote Dirk? You talked about him way earlier. Nothing has changed except Sloosh stuff. The person you find scummy. You find him SO SCUMMY, in fact, that he's a scum read for you, but wtf? He voted sloosh. So he's bussing his teammate d1? You find him scummy for voting sloosh who is also a scum read for you? I can't wrap my head around it, it makes no sense. Back to his defense of me now. This is so scummy. This is what I do. You know how I play. Fair enough, I've played quit a few games of TL mafia both as scum and as town. Hedging now. Before you were pretty sure, now I'm not surely town. And in the post directly after saying you know how I play, you say you have never seen any of my scum games. You haven't read anything of me as scum, but you just said you know how I play. That is a huge contradiction. Now you need to look into my recent 3P game (what happened with that?) + Show Spoiler + Sea of grillz where rayn starts asking a million questions instead of just analyzing posts. There are times when someone should question, and you know what? You can probably throw out as many questions as you want as long as you've done your own work to answer the questions you are asking. Rayn doesn't do that, though. He asks for everyone's opinion on everything, but doesn't give the answers to his own questions. So instead of analysis, we see rayn filling the thread with spammed questions and he grills people. I think this post is especially telling. When I read it I couldn't believe someone actually said this. Impatience? This game has 48 hour days. Patience is a required trait. Beyond that, someone who is town will raise their questions when they come to them. They don't wait to see that the person is in the thread and then ask them. And maybe town players occasionally do this thing called scum hunting. Where is yours? A list post is not scum hunting. Grilling people and asking a million questions is not scum hunting. Scum hunting requirtes analysis of people's posts, and Rayn is not doing that. He's posting largely filler, largely defenses of people he shouldn't be dfending, and a list post. Will he/we? You've come to no conclusions in the past, why should you now? Because transparency is a bad thing. This is you openly saying, "I'm laying a trap, the trap doesn't work if I tell you guys how I'm laying it." So what's the point of your trap now? Nit picking aimlessly. Don't like the response to your nit pick and get called on it? Just say the person is making up their reasons. This is so slimy. I don't see Holyflare as flip-flopping here. When I woke up and was reading through the thread in one go I caught this. Why are you trying to paint his changing of his mind as flip-flopping? Why is changing your mind a bvad thing? See new evidence? Change your mind. Worried about looking like scum? Don't be. It's in town's best interests for you to be as honest as possible. The only people who concern themselves with changing their mind are scum. Probably because this is the second person you've voted on that you think is potentially bussing their team mate without voting sloosh. Are you bouncing around everyone BUT sloosh because he's your team mate? How about you call him on what the actual problem with his post was? Holyflare is new and doesn't know everyone's meta, but he's making a meta read on you. Why is your first concern that he's not seeing your meta correctly? This hyper-self-awareness is scummy as hell. Regardless, I'm so tired of this HF/rayn battle, I hope something new comes up. Rayn does seem pretty convinced about his HF read now, though. Oh. Just kidding. Reasoning? What? So you are going back to your earlier reads and dropping the HF entirely while still managing to completely avoid the person in the lead right now who is sloosh and who you have already found scummy. Is the game really this easy? Whaaaa?! Where the hell did I come into this? Now your defense of me is that I haven't been around and you don't want to lynch me because of that? What happened to your town read on me? We're supposed to believe that you're just giving up your vote and potentially moving it to a town read because you're leaving? I get having to be away, I've been away from the thread a LOT. I'm becoming very busy. That doesn't mean I'm willing to lynch a town read, though. Just confirming I'm a town read here... that you are willing to lynch... I had to rush this a bit because I have to leave, but raynpelikoneet knows too much about me without actually knowing anything about my play, his filter is filled with filler, he's willing to lynch a town read, and he's been dodging a sloosh lynch the entire game in spite of sloosh being a scum read earlier and sloosh leading in votes. Half of it is revolving on the fact that people are voting sloosh and he isn't. This makes him scummy for not voting sloosh etc etc. Therefore you come to the conclusion that sloosh is most probably his scum partner or a town that he doesn't want to lynch as you said here: On October 04 2013 06:08 Risen wrote: No, it's more I'm saying rayn either is protecting his scum buddy our knows sloosh is town and won't place his vote on him. That's a big difference How did you actually decide what alignment sloosh ended up being? You quite clearly decided he was town as you dropped everything on him and pursued other targets. Why? | ||

What have you done this game HF? Where have you pushed anything? But then what has Clarity done? If Clarity were dead and marv was alive I would have written a case on you today. Not sure if serious or not. I was pushing oats ALL OF THE NIGHT BEFORE HE DIED. The only reason rayn is dead is because he was my joint top scum read and i made it possible. I already voiced why I didn't like oats multiple times. The more i looked at it the more town he was though, scum hunting on you when everyone was afking the sloosh lynch etc etc. I know you've said you read the game so why don't you know that? | ||

Even as town with someone I am lynching 100% I'm still looking for things other people are doing. Even with major scum read on Oats I had one on marv.

You go scan a filter of someone else's game and go metareadlololol. Fuck meta, meta is SUPPORT. You build a case on someone and if there's supporting evidence from another game THEN you can bring it up. It isn't, this guy's meta matches his play here, scum. That's a cop out and you're bound to fuck up. Everytime i have used meta this game it's to support a case. I was sure on sloosh so didn't say much that day. Dirk i wasn't sure about and was pressuring oats and marv, no idea how you can't see that in my filter. Meta even got rid of my scum read on marv. Oh yeh meta totally sucked there. | ||

If sloosh was his partner, sure he'd avoid talking about it. If sloosh was town ray would just talk about him. So how is it you don't want sloosh lynched the next day.. Surely he's rays scum partner??
