Cool, take your time with that, I'm not too into meta so no need to follow up on that with me.

I think Holyflare is pretty town.

Liking Risen the least.

Anyone hear to talk beside HF? (you can go to sleep we can talk tomorrow )

Nothing too alarming from Oats for me. Seems like ol' Oats from back whenever I last played with him.

Agree / no?

I don't get it. I don't think I'm giving Oats special Oats slack when I say that nothing he has done is particularly bad.

Is your primary concern the "putting of words in your mouth"? Is Oats using faulty logic in a way that leans scum? I don't get it.

I still think Risen is lame, but he hasn't posted yet.

As for Dirkzor ... I'm leaning town on him. 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".

You will admit, though, he's all but admitted his vote is worthless.

There's quite the difference between "developing thoughts" and "voting someone based on bs"

I don't see where he has admitted his vote is worthless. Poorly placed, yea, but nowhere worthless.

As for voting with poor reasons, he says he misread the situation, made a vote on that, and then upon a more thorough inspection found his initial feels incorrect. Could be scum backtracking or could be town who made an honest mistake and a poor vote. I'm leaning the latter.

Being frazzled is exclusively a townie characteristic?

Yes his vote draws attention to him but he clearly did not read the thread in enough detail to provide good reasons for his vote, which means he possibly did not read closely enough to understand thread sentiment about HF either.


I never said it was, I'm saying that is how I'm reading it. Frazzled town rather than frazzled scum.

I agree with you that he did not read the thread in detail. I'm not arguing against that. I'm saying that both town and scum can do that and based on his general tone / manner regarding how he deals with marv's pressure makes me lean town on him. Let's push that point: what parts of his followup look more scummy than how a town in his situation would behave?

It's twice you've mentioned this now without any furthe explanation.

Makes marv a sad little whore.

Fluffy initial vote, little follow up, unnaturally defensive posture (w/ respect to BH). Will be reading his new big post and giving subsequent thoughts.


@HolyFlare
I'm arguing against the notion that Dirkzor did the typical scum move of parking their vote on a place where it won't be noticed and is therefore scum. That's not true.

I agree that he didn't read carefully and that he retracted his initial statement. He admits making a mistake.
On October 02 2013 22:38 Dirkzor wrote:
Maybe I didn't value that vote so highly. Maybe I did just want to stir up things to see what fell out.

I read this differently, like, he wasn't sure either kind of thing. Not a sarcastic response.


As for Oats, could you explain why his unvote is scummy? As for the meta thing, "I'm not too into meta" = "I'm not into reading into people's game history and doing all that jazz, which is what you were doing." If you have specific things about his post you can point out I'd be happy to address them without using meta.

His vote on HF had faulty reasoning. Once it gets asked of him to point out HF's "sheeping of BH and his lack of contributions" he backtracks, because he has to, as either alignment.
I really would like you to specify what exactly gives you your townread.

In your eyes, how would a scum HF react differently than how he has reacted? Or if you prefer, what is it he's done that you think he wouldn't do as scum?

I think he is trying to give honestly address each question directed at him and that there is a general consistency throughout his postings / I can follow his thought process easily.

alrighty. ty for your input ^^ expecting that Risen shizzle from you though :>

There's nothing too compelling in the case on Clarity. There's a potentially good point in how clarity retracted his townread of me, but given clarity's explanation and the fact that he actually draws attention to it is a plus for him.

He threw out his big case, and then just sits on it. There's no trying to convince people he is right, or even bring some attention to it, then he goes into sulking mode (immune to lynch? really?) without either trying to boil down his case into succinct points, or moving on to other stuff cause maybe he is wrong and it is a good time to regroup.

Seems like pretense of contribution to me.

Your current evaluation of Risen?


Also clarity, I can see you angling for my lynch or something. Anything you want to ask me directly?

I think it would be good if you distill it down to like, 2 or 3 quotes and explain how it is indicative of him being scum. That way it forces clarity to respond to the heart of the points and clears stuff up so other people can more easily lend their opinions.

That's what I said. Nothing that sticks out too much for me in Risen's case. If I see a weak case, then I'll call it weak. Doesn't matter what kinds of reads I have on Risen / clarity, a case's robustness is independent of that.

There's no contradiction here, just a failure (by readers) to consider context.

Now why I find problem with this wiffle waffle, is that clarity doesn't have a good read on BH (and spends lots of words explaning how he isn't sure), but finds it pertinent to speak on behalf of BH to rayn. How does this pursue a better read on BH? Why would you speak up for someone who you want a better read of?

So... that makes you feel good about your vote on me? The fact that the guy I don't really have a read on, who I don't want to lynch today, is not being pursued by me?

You aren't just waiting on the sidelines to see how he will act given more time. You spoke on his behalf instead of letting him being questioned. This being someone you would actually want a better read on. Why?

If i should switch marv tell me now who to switch on. I trust you the most. I don't wanna lynch Risen, i don't wanna lynch Sloosh either.. because they have not been here, and i can't tell what they are gonna say when they come back (if they do).

I don't accept Oats or marv as lynch.

Likewise Risen was his 2nd top town read, and he holds some reservations about switching his vote onto me? How is me dying (opposed to Dirk) a bad scenario?

Sloosh, please some bullet points as to why you thought I was scum? And what has changed since?

I've already said in my initial post. You spend a couple of posts, solely stating "I don't know how I feel about BH. I don't want to lynch him though. But I don't know how I feel.", and showed no interest in actually pursuing that. Plus you shut down a possible rayn - BH interaction by answering on behalf of BH.

You did have some overlap with marv, but I took that to be too small a sample size. Given another 20+ pages, as well as some resilience to prodding, I don't feel as strong about the initial feelings.

Ok so I'm approaching this game from a Foolishness-esque townie elimination approach. Cause why not right? There's only 8 players to evaluate, and picking out townies can somewhat be easier than finding scum.

Right now there is a very lazy wagon on me, mostly from what I can tell, a lack of good alternatives. Scum would be ok with this. They want it to eventually land on me, but in the meantime they want to make a pretense of contribution (but not too much lest the wagon actually shifts).

So I'm working with a pool of rayn and BH ... ehhh ....

I'm looking into rayn right now so we can talk about that soon after I finish.

In the meantime, could you explain how you have a strong town (not null) read on me?

Yea I don't get it. Your town read of me is stemming from my inactivity? Because you mention nothing else about me. Plus my scum games are relatively low activity if anything. So this meta is whack.

How does that translate to "There is literally no possible situation in which my vote goes on sloosh"?

BH's logic is sound. Having a no-lynch isn't of too much consequence, and if scum marv did gain enough traction to hit BH, then he would still have me in the back pocket to push a lynch onto.

He says in his filter than he respects my play, but is content with letting me die, despite having very hazy reads on Dirk and Risen. There still isn't any proper case on me, despite "he was maybe right about dirk before anyone else", and "his read on clarity wasn't that good".

So here's my problem marv. You say you respect my play. From your filter I glean that you have very iffy reads on Risen and Dirkzor. 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.

I'm not saying marv is scum b/c of the switch to BH. That's dumb. I'm saying that marv isn't automatically town b/c of it. I fully think scum marv would be capable of such a feat.

HolyFlare

Yes normally I would be kicking and screaming. But this game is my first game after maybe a season's hiatus, and I'm aware I haven't had good play. So not too much in lieu of confidence or whatnot.

I'm not going to make stuff up just to save my hide. That will clutter and confuse the thread.

I think I gave my best (given what I could give), and I'm content with that. If people have issue and want to bring it up later, that's fine too.

Rayn's vote was on Dirk. Regardless of what he did with it, it was not pushing it toward a no lynch.

No I think Risen was simply trying to consolidate to avoid no lynch.

Ok. I've come to the conclusion.

Do we agree with a slOosh - marv - dirk lynch order? I'm ok with that if I can guarantee the 1 for 1 with marv, which will be the trickest part.

From my standpoint, its a lot easier. Eliminate the people who voted rayn, and so I get a pool of marv, Oats, dirk.

Rayn built his main case on dirk and dirk pointed out rayn pretty early in the game (~pg 20).
Oats is gut feels, and my town read on him remarkably stronger than my read on marv.

I'll be addressing the points of Dirk's case on me in order.
(http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=430498&currentpage=67#1337)

The quote itself provides the explanation. Getting a larger "sample size" and "resilience to prodding" are my reasons.

I was contemplating a clarity BH team at the time, given how I felt the clarity slOosh-townread with BH interaction felt like something out of BH's playbook (preemptively call yourself scummy to diffuse the situation), combined with clarity explaning BH's actions to rayn rather than letting the interaction happen / pursuing a better read on BH.

Yes, I followed marv's posts on BH because they made sense. I did not understand BH's town read on me, so my thinking was that BH was letting me get lynched, but still wanted town-cred for being right and thinking I was town. I still think barring the doctor claim, I would have kept with it.

During the 40 minutes BH claimed doctor. Of course that's going to shake things up.

I will concede the point that I was not thorough with treatment of Dirk. I was rushed at the time / I skimmed / dismissed him as misguided townie.

rayn and BH were people who I perceived as not caring about the lynch too much, despite having town reads on me.

I was surprised at the flip. I still don't understand how it happened.



I didn't follow up on rayn because there were other things happening that I was looking at.

The quote to clarity is in the context of marv saying that he doesn't like Risen or Dirk, likes me (objectively as a player), but is content with letting me die instead of giving me another day to prove my worth.

As for rayn's hesitation of lynching me, there's nothing for me to argue against, either as town or scum.


I'll be back later to properly sew up some things. I'm realizing how sloppy / not good my play is.

Hey guys, I've been mulling it over, and these feels a lot like Catch 22. Scum topple, and then we hunt some dudes, and then it turns out there was some tunneling. I know because I made it to LYLO and almost lost the game.

That said, I retract my initial desire to 1 for 1 for marv. Not that I'm definite that he is town, but neither am I that confident that he is scum, and it is entirely possible that I'm making a similar kind of oversight this game as well. So I'm scratching the slate and starting over. Feel free to input thoughts and whatnot as I review the game - humor me, if you will.


(Oats, this is really big post, so feel free to skip it all and call me scum )
+ Show Spoiler +

9 player game, 1 dead rayn, 1 (soon to be dead doctor) BH. 1 me. That leaves 6 players I get to give a good look at, only 1 is scum. So all interactions in the thread include at least 1 town (beside those with rayn).

Oats, Dirk, marv, Risen, clarity, Holyflare

Hey let's lynch Oats, seems reasonable.
dundundun.

This is rayn's first (well second post). It actually is echoing HolyFlare's vote on Oats, bringing focus upon it. Don't think rayn would be so quick to point out his partner's problematic posts, but it does seem like he is drunk or something. Chalk it up as a slight town tell for HF by association.

pg 5~10 and I feel good about Oats. It's rapid fire unadulterated thoughts into the thread, and there is focus to his posts (as a whole). Feeling moderate to strong town on Oats.

So you voted a scumread based on evidence that didn't exist? Your claim was effectively that he was sheeping BH and unoriginal, and now having "checked" his filter, he is in fact not sheeping BH and original after all.

At this point I feel really stupid. Marv's arguments are solid. Paranoia says that scum marv would punish poor town play like this, but I'm realizing my paranoia is not the good kind. I recall marv revisiting this interaction, especially with the quote "clinically clean". I can see what he means by this. Dirk's claim is sloppy. Either HF is doing nothing, or he is doing scummy things (sheeping BH etc.) Then he says HF is clean, indicating a lack of substance, but not noting actively scummy things.

At this point I give marv a solid town read and Dirkzor a slight red read. Maybe I'll just emphatic b/c he says it's his first game in a year. Moving on,

Getting bored of coloring things in.

pg 16 Clarity is prodding me about my bad townread on Dirk. That's sensible. You see something strange, you call that out and you probe.

pg 18 rayn enters the thread and hones in on the BH / Oats thing. Does not mention me or dirk. I understand this reflects poorly on me. Cool.

pg 21 rayn gives dirk an out. I believe by now I'm already prone to confirmation bias into thinking dirk is the last scum. Feel free to disregard such statements.

Dirkzor if you base your early day 1 reads on feels, why did you say somthing completely different in your post where you voted for HF? If it's a gut read why frame it to something else?

I don't believe I framed it to be anything other then a feel read. I wrote how I felt about him. Him posting rubbish and following BH. After re-reading to stand up for my belief I got another feeling because there really wasn't any evidence..

And people have been noticing how I made 2 quotes of Oats and then voted HF with only a few lines attached. That was because BH said oats was scummy and I wanted to weigh in on that. The post ended up going another way though.

The fact that you say everyone else agrees with you in this thread is just testament to the fact that you have put no effort or thought into your stance and are just going with the flow to follow up for an 'easy' lynch.

Everyone else thinks that you are scummy. Therefore I cant do anything more to convince people at this point of time.

COME ON HOLYFLARE. STOP POSTING LONG POSTS. NOT GOOD.

You and BH are probably not on the same scumteam but I have a way more sure read on you than on BH.
BH, is Holyflare a noob or not?

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.

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!

It's easy to jump on a player because he played the noob card but there are 2 scum in this game not just one. If i were to be lynched and did indeed flip town then wouldn't you regret not pressuring other people on why they think i'm a sure fire scum?



When I read through his filter it feels clinicly clean. Don't know how to describe it really... it like trying to get rotten wood look fresh on the surface.


When pressured you come up with a variation of "his posts feel constructed"

Why did you switch from reasons to "feel"? It's because your original reason got debunked by marv and you were forced to backtrack.

The answer seems obvious to me. Your goal is to establish the alignment of the guy you have a scumread on. Sure, you think he's scum, but you don't KNOW. So you talk with him. You talk with other players and try to convince them. Maybe they support you, maybe they point out how he's scummier or townier than you thought. In these interactions, most people betray what alignment they are through how they think-- be they town or scum. The goal is to develop a co-operative discourse in which people all have solid reads on each other. It involves an acknowledgement that part of what writing a case and voting is, is pressure-- it's developing your read.

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...

*Makes a case based on fiction
*Backtracks when called out and says it's a feel read
*THEN he retracts the read entirely because his reasons didn't hold up, DESPITE it being a feel read
*Claims he has never "framed it as anything but a feel read"
*Has not given analysis on anyone other than Oats or HF. Everyone else has basically been ignored, with the exception of a sentence or two.


You're entire case revolves around me changes my opinion... I don't see that as a problem to be honest.

my tl:dr version:
*makes a case based on first read through and the feeling i got*
*when called out re-read to find evidence, explain and convince*
*doesn't find evidence*
*Can see reasons for being wrong by people the calling him out*
*changes his veiw based on this*

I never said I had no read. Neither have I stated that I now think HF is town. Some of the things that I thought was scummy about him have just changed and thus I didn't have a clear read I could target.


Your vote is still on him btw. I realize you made the post about voting yourself as placeholder. You are aware you can simply unvote?

Who have you looked at recently other than HF/Oats and did you develop a read out of looking at them?

I know my vote is on him. So?

Wat? That's not a response. That's an evasion. "Opinions on HF/ Oats or anyone?" *in snarky tone* "I've obviously been looking at rayn and slOosh. dummy."

K by this point either I'm onto something or I have confirmation bias and so instead I'll focus on the remaining players to see how they are.

~pg 24 marv and clarity doing lots of intertwining. KISS -> they are both town.

pg 25, I guess Oats was the first one to pick up the nuances of Dirk's 180.

pg 26 rayn votes Dirk. Hrmph.

pg 27 rayn drops everything starting with a small portion of HF's post. He really brings on the pressure, and HF doesn't buckle. Plus points for HF.

contrast with pg 30 where rayn is all nice nice with Dirk. You guys can probably just stop reading here without missing anything

Only person I haven't really looked into is Risen, probably because he hasn't posted as frequently. He has posted two big cases but it's hard to evaluate them. Maybe the more recent content will be helpful.

pg 42, Risen comes in with a case on rayn, when there are no votes on him. So could be scum doing a false push, or town who is on the right track. Let's see how he follows up on this one.

Risen's case is surprisingly solid. I apologize Risen. Maybe if you took out the parts where you point out filler (because most filters will have filler), it would have been easier to realize.

In either case, Risen started his case, and received poor feedback from marv / clarity.

Shameless self plug:

I think Dirkzor is mafia.

I hope i am gonna be back before the deadline. cya fuckers!

Regarding rayn, how did I go from 2nd scum read to "not necessarily mafia", despite not having posted (and from what I've skimmed no one really argued well for my towniness)?

Okay so, i need to decide my vote now.
I prefer Dirkzor. Clarity you are bad or scum.
I guess my other options are Risen and Sloosh?

If i should switch marv tell me now who to switch on. I trust you the most. I don't wanna lynch Risen, i don't wanna lynch Sloosh either.. because they have not been here, and i can't tell what they are gonna say when they come back (if they do).

I don't accept Oats or marv as lynch.

Likewise Risen was his 2nd top town read, and he holds some reservations about switching his vote onto me? How is me dying (opposed to Dirk) a bad scenario?

You could argue that I'm angling for a potential rayn bus. ... yea you could. I'm gonna say I was distracted from having to explain all my scummy actions earlier on.

Effectively slOosh has no scumreads, he proceeds to agree with me when I go after BH, then proceeds to agree with BH when BH claims doctor.

True. This is actually true, as at the time I was scrambling to catch up and everything was too fast paced.

pg 56 I drop my "i'm dying here's what I have" post. people start feeling feels, and the wagon is looking unsecure. Cue rayn's entry.

Risen phone posting, looking to secure a lynch. See's BH pushing rayn wagon of justice, and is ok so joins. A stronger followup to his case would be more assuring, but it is totally understandable how little audience he has.

pg 65 Risen indignant that Oats is saying he could be scum. I'd probably be that angry too. BH stole his thunder yo.


So, as a pure objective observer, the lynch order should be
slOosh, Dirkzor, ???

Why ??? because if I'm that wrong about Dirk then my opinions shouldn't have too much bearing 3 cycles later. I don't like a vengeful lynch on marv.

Plus Dirk can flail some more with me out of the equation, and given the vast majority of town + sensible heads, shouldn't be too much of problem.

p.s. paranoia says ??? should be marv because I have an unreasonable fear of his scum game, despite not actually having played against it.

I want to lunch Dirkzor. Then I don't want to lunch anyone. Marv lunch is only up there because he is really good with ketchup, but he is not eating with ketchup today. He could be hiding it well, but then clarity, would notice because they are sharing a meal.

Based purely on rayn's departure, Risen is the least likely I would want to lunch. I don't even think it was a potentially well planned lunch between the two.

Holyflare and rayn did not eat lunch together well, so since rayn ate lunch HF doesn't.

Feeling good about Oats. Last time I wanted to lunch him so hard, but someone took it away from me. Probably the same thing here.

If I'm scum, it doesn't matter if Oats is alive at lylo. In all seriousness if ??? did arrive, I would have to evaluate carefully based on day 2 / day 3 cycle, instead of day 1 material.

So I guess I wasted 2~3 hours on typing up a reread? Do you guys want a case with highlighting and line breaks or something?

Why Dirkzor is scum.

1) His inconsistency on HF
Here is Oats' case on Dirk:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=430498&currentpage=25#493

Here is Clarity's case on Dirk:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=430498&currentpage=21#408


These have been glossed over. I'm not going to bother rehashing them. If you are calling my scummy because you are declaring me clairvoyant, then you must concede the point that Dirk's initial actions are scummy. Then for the clairvoyant argument to hold, you must prove that his actions (after I say he looks town) actually exonerate him from his earlier suspicious activity.


The fact is that people's primary town reads on him come stem from his case on me.

...

I'm getting really tired of this....

Umm, ok
Look into rayn's filter his initial vote is dirk, but you can see he doesn't really push him. It serves as fake contribution and distances the two apart, which you suspect scum to do to some degree.


I'm getting pretty upset right now over the state of affairs, but I don't know how to engage in proper discussion in-game without verbal lashing, and I really don't want to do that.


Ok, I'll just roll over and die. Seriously. I gave it my best shot after a shoddy d1, I gave an earnest effort with my game reread, people's perspective on Dirk is almost rooted in the fact that he made a "decent case" on me, to the point that they are overlooking his early problem which I'm getting crap for in an unreasonable way, and that won't be gone until I flip.

So I'll flip.

FWIW if you guys care about what I think post flip:
