Your case to me seems based on basically nothing.

I don't personally believe it is alignment indicative but whatever.

I didn't get a scumvibe from Oats for not specifically taking the points I used and running with them because he was working on his own stuff and looked like he was actually trying to figure out what was useful or not from my case.

Wave - The long and short of it is this, Wave - I think Prome is being too much of an arrogant ass to be mafia. Now, as you know, usually I have large reserves of faith in my powers (I can be arrogant ;p) but Prome is taking it to another level. So:

Rayn, fair enough points. I approve and find you townie. As such you and I and maybe Marv are starting a townie circle, which I have the power to create.

It takes remarkable confidence imo to propose creating a town circle with you at the head of it. I'm relating this back to me, but as mafia even I struggle to propose/say these sorts of things.

Oh, point I wanted to make about koshi saying oats was 3p for being able to be levelled up by non town:
Koshi is scum.

I'll leave this to another power upper to explain as it should show them I am town and show me they are town.

Again with the ridiculous self-confidence. As if whatever his read is definitely makes him town, which it almost certainly doesn't. Townies rather than mafia tend to think "this SO makes me town" even when it doesn't. Toad is a prime example of this (say LIX, where his mason claim "confirmed" him town when it did no such thing). It's a double whammy because he also thinks that someone else with a power explaining it to him will make him town. All of this seems hard to fake as mafia.

Oats, why should I power you up? You think I am scum for a bad reason and are generally a silky bastard who I would not give roles to this early. Remember carnival cruise where you never crumbed your cop checks and in death cleared a scum? You can stay powerless thanks. If you think everyone should be powered why have you not powered me and Marv? The two best payers with power up abilities.

Pandain, the fick are you doing? Why announce your return and vanish again.

##twerk
Since when are you good at blue Prome.
I really dont expect this from you prome. You shit on me for no reason, and you havent called me scum yet, but arent willing to argue your reads with me or do anything to convince people that someone else is scum.

You should power me because you think Im town and you havent said im scum.



I don't think you are scum. I think you are town.

Two reasons I won't power you: 1 is [redacted due to ongoing game] 2 you don't need a power role right now. There are few people who use day 1 power roles really well and you aren't one, if you were mod confirmed town I'd give you power but the risk reward between giving a scum you power and a town you power is not worth it.

Since forever am I good at blue. Look at my MS games or chronotrigger or...that might be all my blue games.

What.
You wont give me powers because you think Im bad? Non of my powers can hurt town, but they are nice to have. If you think Im town, there is literally no reason to not give me powers.


I'm not sure I can be clearer, I think you are town lets out a number to it (this will make the rest of this example easier to show you) I'm 65% sure you are town. There is a 35% chance you are scum. I believe that the way you would use a power role as scum would benefit your team at least twice as much as the way you using your power role as town would benefit your team. Thus I chose not to power you up because I felt the cost benefit analysis suggested that voting you would be more helpful to scum than to town.

Rayn, weigh In Here, am I being clear? Y/n

Yes, and i think you think alike me regarding the powers.
Could you give me an updated read on Pandain?


I could but its too early to be clear with each other. Lets play a game:
This post is the one I find most alignment indicative

Tell me why and which alignment I think he is

I think this post is pretty bad, and his subsequent reasoning for it isn't fantastic either (it's a little superficial in my opinion). But again, I see it as town bad. See again how it's like he's framing it that OTHER townies can show their alignment to HIM by working out what he's talking about. Again, hard to fake as mafia.

These are the prime examples, but generally his filter reads as him being way too arrogant, assuming the townleader position, seeing things and quizzing others to see if they see the same as him ----> they are town.

I think that's all quite impressive if he's mafia.

Why would you think this? I think marv is town, so if marv says you are scum, then I give you powers? That doesnt make sense to me. Please explain.


Kind of totally just a jab at you. You asked what he read me as clearly implying you'd power me up if he said town; he said town you didn't power me and I made fun of you for it.

A bit too early to start sheeping someone. Maybe if he replied to marv's answers but he does not.

Other than that Oats has pointed out a lot of things but not concluded anything about the things he points out.

But mainly it's his reaction to WoS's post:

Just popped in to say ##Paranoia I don't like your play this game either Prom.
Your first post yelling at everybody not to be powering everybody up....I completely agree with.

I just wouldn't have expected it to come from you.
You take it a step further though---you say not only is powering other people up dumb, but you say it's policy lynchable.

Have you pursued this course of action in your questioning of all of the people who have done so thus far?

And THEN, not 4 posts later, you explain to everybody how to power you up.

This reminds me of the very first ever game I played with you Prom, LX, in which you created some horseshit RNG talk early 'just to get discussion started' and you were promptly lynched for it---and flipped red.

So Prome, your reads list at the start of the game. All I remember is you saying you'd lynch me based on my entry to the thread. I don't see you pursuing your policy lynches, your apparent scumreads or your 'discussion.' Funny part is' you never actually call me scum, you just say you'd lynch me based on me entering the thread and leaving, and even THEN you don't pursue it, and have not mentioned me even once since then.

Your activity is pretty fantastic and all, and I get that you think Pandain tryharding is also pretty fantastic, but that don't mean shit imo. It's funny though, you say you'd rather base your read of Pandain off of what you get from him this game only and ignore his past meta, but you're ok to base your weak early read of me on meta even though you haven't played a game with me in ages?
You are incredibly inconsistent just from your first few posts and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit sir.
Care to discuss?

super #mindblown by Prome's play today if hes town.


Which is either reactive to WoS's case on Prome, or not, doesn't matter.
Thing is, Oats just expressed a definite interest in Prome being possible scum.

WoS made a case on the person that Oats just drew attention to, so what does oats have to say about that?

On October 28 2013 14:02 Oatsmaster wrote:
Lol WoS, prome explained what we needed to do to power him because I asked.


Nothing apparently.... He just wanted to correct a detail in WoS's post.
If Oats was genuinely concerned about prome being mafia, why does he not take this opportunity to talk about it? All he did was say "if town, then bad" which does nothing, pressures nothing. It's posting for the sake of posting.

Yuck.


ha. Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. Does Clarity still do the be dumb but super obvious townie thing he used to do?
Also his follow up is pretty terribad, he clearly hasn't read the whole thread since Oats did 180 his read on me and clarity is pushing him to prove his old read and expound on why I'm scum. Clarity gets added to my above possible scum list.

Also meta town read on marv for, well, all the things you are calling him out on Rayn. Day one marv tries to take control and gain something as mafia. Day one town marv does his own thing and chills, makes reads and finds buddies. Marv is playing to his town meta whether you can see that or not.

It's not even the 180 that's the issue, Koshi. He literally made a post saying prome was weird/odd/bad/scum whatever as WoS made a case on Prome but he had nothing to add. Like, how his his reply not "yeah I noticed that too" or "no I noticed this other thing"

I've played with Oats before and this does not look like the same Oats.


I did not miss it but don't really see why I would at this point.

marv, that is kind of a subtle read. Not super subtle but like not a read I'd expect a newer player to have.
As soon as I typed this I realized WoS isn't actually all that new anymore, carry on.

Clarity. Explain what oats is doing here that is out of character for him. Unless he started making sense and not doing stupid shit/changing his mind all the time this is totally in line with his meta AND that meta applies to both alignments so even if he wasn't doing that (which he is) it wouldn't be alignment indicative. I'd get you the venn diagram but I think you get my point.

Again, I'm aware that he 180s later, that doesn't matter. What matters is at the point of that post he was clearly interested in Prome as possible scum.
Correcting something is not alignment indicative, the fact that that was his only response is.

This is just an aside, but I've come to value Wave's opinion. Easy example is LXII where Wave got somewhat suspicious of me on Day 1 because I kept asking him specific things and for explanations for reads.

So basically I want to see if he understands what i'm saying and if not, why not, and hopefully I can get something useful out of it.

Marv I actually had a townread on someone else this game for something very similar but that was very late last night and I can't remember who it was exactly.

Essentially your read to me makes sense, and I'm glad it is for reasons that didn't occur to me/are not related to my case since that gives me more to think about. I'm always a little bit wary of giving experienced players townreads based on mafia not being so upfront and arrogant though because there are definitely people very capable of that kind of play (ie Pandain). I guess in Prome's case it's mroe the mindset behind that type of play and his posting? I'll have a closer look.

Alright a valid point.
So you can strike the point where I say it's hypocritical that Prome asked people to do it to him.
I'm still not following where the 'discussion' re: policy lynching went, or how he pursued those he felt were guilty of such.

Go address case please Prome.

I think it's kinda easy to make a case against Prome, and Prome will verify that I often find his opening post or two really really scummy (I PM him about it in shock, or comment on it if I'm in a game). I just think the attitude/mindset trumps it.

Btw, I understand what you're doing with your analogy with Pandain, but it's different. Pandain basically calls himself obviously town, but doesn't really display the supporting stuff like Prome has, in my opinion. One interesting thing to note is that I formed my opinion on Prome in a ten-page catch up on the thread this morning, so I got to take the "wider" view, as it were.

On Seuss, I'll take your read under advisement. I still hate how he went about his criticisms, but his subsequent responses at least feel earnest. I'll judge him on the rest of his play.

I'm talking about his initial response to it. Obviously (in the hypothetical that oats is scum) he figures out "oh yeah I expressed interest in Prome"
Did his initial response to your case not strike you as odd?

Not in the slightest.

marv, that is kind of a subtle read. Not super subtle but like not a read I'd expect a newer player to have.
As soon as I typed this I realized WoS isn't actually all that new anymore, carry on.

Clarity. Explain what oats is doing here that is out of character for him. Unless he started making sense and not doing stupid shit/changing his mind all the time this is totally in line with his meta AND that meta applies to both alignments so even if he wasn't doing that (which he is) it wouldn't be alignment indicative. I'd get you the venn diagram but I think you get my point.

So despite me harping on you for your meta read of me, you just realized this?
Marv I actually had a townread on someone else this game for something very similar but that was very late last night and I can't remember who it was exactly. Not the arrogance but the quizzing and confidence that people 'see him as town and here's why.' I'll try to look back and figure out where it was I came up with that.

Essentially your read to me makes sense, and I'm glad it is for reasons that didn't occur to me/are not related to my case since that gives me more to think about. I'm always a little bit wary of giving experienced players townreads based on mafia not being so upfront and arrogant though because there are definitely people very capable of that kind of play (ie Pandain). I guess in Prome's case it's mroe the mindset behind that type of play and his posting? I'll have a closer look.

Alright on the subject of Pandain---what do you make of the strong push against him and his reaction to it? His play this game seems markedly different from what I've seen, not that I would give him a read solely based on this since I'm pretty sure Pandain is always hyper-aware of what he looks like.

Pandain has a point on rayn though. He uses his power and then instantly goes "w00ps, shouldn't have done that"

I don't like it.

That's not what Pandain said was scummy.
He said Rayn's instant use of his power was scummy. Why is that, exactly?
There is not very much to go on at all and he says things like Rayn calling out weird logic without immediately pursuing him is scummy in the first hour of the game.

Overall his posting reeks of someone trying too hard right now. I've done this before as mafia, for the record---it's really easy to fabricate some easy shit, and then make an excuse for yourself to fuck off for a while by complaining that there's 'nothing else to talk about,' or 'no one to talk to,' in the hopes that people will assume his early and active contributions are town-aligned and forget about him.

My post on his early play is above (I guess in retrospect I've done a fair bit of omgus-ing this game) and he displays nowhere near the level of self-confidence and analysis I have seen him put into reads. I haven't pursued him as a target since I latched onto Prome and now I'd like to come full circle since it seems he was heavily pressured without my input on the subject. Your thoughts?

That WoS was blatantly wrong with one of his points?
No gg, No skill.
