So to anyone who was in the original game, other than our usual win-con, what else should we be looking at in terms of how Witchcraft works?

I don't really like this. You don't really put effort in to even cross-check the players from the last game (of witchcraft) which is really simple to do. The only player to play in the last one is Thrawn who was shot night 1. But I think that is not very relevant since each game can turn out different. I think you should come to your own conclusions on how to play this themed game instead of hoping others tell you how to play. It just seems like your not willing to put the effort in to even try to solve this game for yourself. It's also very dangerous to discuss strategy because scum can see everything also and can use that against town. I'm of the opinion that everybody should play the way THEY think is the correct way to play.


Relax there.

Anyone who's played with me before nows I'm at work during these hours - though lazy on my part I don't have the time to extensively browse through the past to find all the information I want. In any case I wasn't asking "how to win guys", it was more of a "were there any traps which caused trouble for town that we should look out for" but since there's an entirely new cast of players pretty much there's not really any answers to give unless someone here obsed the last game and can remember it.

Kind of strange to say "ususual win-con" as opposed to just "other than our win-con".

How do YOU think Witchcraft should be handled?

If you have the time to write that paragraph, you have time to answer my question. Why won't you discuss your thoughts on Witchcraft, and only spend time defending yourself?

I disagree with people claiming actions, because if I voted someone as a blue and they avoided the blue-vig, I'd like to continue voting them.


Oh, didn't notice your question - because themed games have unusual win cons on occasion (see: Desert Mini Mafia), the usual is the standard kill all scum win-con. You're putting the statement under the microscope too far if you're trying to find weird things from that though.

Depending on how things go, my thought was that claiming actions isn't the greatest idea because then it's a guaranteed Witch Hunter snipe right? Never was a fan of people fake claiming either (in this case to bait the shot) since it just ends up causing so much confusion within the town (see: any time rayn tries that crap )

Vanesco's post looks like typical 'scum trying to jump on the first odd thing somebody does for early game contributions n' shizz.


You are aware that scum sometimes jump on to something. The thing that you don't mention is that scum tend to do this if they think at least one town will also jump on it, as that allows them to place/leave their vote on the target for a longer period of time. I could certainly argue that Vanesco did this with his first post, but then one may also argue that you did the same.

Basically, that sentence was a little bit hypocritical.


Isn't that Umasi you'd be referring to as opposed to WoS then if we were to follow your train of logic? Umasi being the instigator and WoS being the townie who takes the bait? Seems like you're slightly misrepresenting WoS here, but you continue on later in the post to mention Umasi anyways in this post (though I don't really agree on the train of thought but thoughts on that below).

In any case, your statement seems to be a flat way of looking at how scum play since different players play scum more passively or aggressively than others but in either case I don't really think you'd only make accusations or jump on things if you think it's going to follow through with townies. I've seen quite a few times where it's just thrown out there as a casual observation and people see this kind of activity as being townie because they are scum hunting. (this ended up being a random rant that serves no real purpose)

Ofcourse, it is fair to point out that trying to look like town does not always make a person scum. But trying to look like town in your very first post makes someone (Umasi) look like uncomfortable scum.


To me this looked like he was pressuring Vanesco to clear up his points because they were either ambiguous or could be interpreted scummily like the way Umasi said his last sentence about strategy looked.

To clarify, perhaps:

On night X+1, each person claims what actions they took on night X (if any).

Then each person claims who they voted for on day X.

The three people who used actions should be roughly the same three people who had the most votes. It could be slightly out as we would be missing information from the people who died on Day X (if town), night X and Day X+1.

Come to think of it with up to three people's votes missing it might not be worth claiming who we voted for, so this may not have any merit.


Elaborating on Vanesco here, I'll use this post as an example
Main question for you here is: How could we ruin strategies by talking about them?
For instance, how do scum fuck with this plan. How would you abuse this plan as scum?
Would you? CAN YOU?
what witchcraft discussion CAN scum abuse? Since blues are based on townreads ANYWAY, it's not like we're all blue hunting at all, so power discussion isn't something scum can abuse. Especially because they don't have roleblockers or anything, only blue vigis.

although I don't think there's an important facet of strategy discussion to be had (otherwise I'd talk more about strategy,) your specific outlook on how to handle it is scummy.


Also just to add on here, scum have bigger fish to fry than to plan how to foil our plans. Time constraints and what not means they'd rather go for mislynches than going all out on figuring a loophole in strategies suggested.

That said, Vanesco does bring up a reasonable line of thought regarding overlapping blue players, and thus I guess the above applies more towards non-Witchcraft related posts.

So it seems that from all this negative feedback on me not voting that after thinking somebody is very scummy a vote is typical action. From my POV it seemed better not to vote because I don't like lurkers to just get a free ride by latching on, but after seeing the responses I have to agree with most of them and it was a bad play by me. Therefore:
##Vote: Umasi


??? A few people call you out on it and you fold and just sheep along - this makes you look worse probably than when you weren't voting simply because it's such an easy+lazy play.

When did I ever say that? Please show me exactly where I say that. And if I don't then why are you trying to make stuff up? This entire time from the start when Umasi voted on me I have been a large center of discussion and it's getting pretty irritating where even when I try to give my reads everybody just starts harping on me anyways for doing something that they don't like or aren't accustomed to. Just cause you think one way is the only way to play doesn't mean it actually is.


To be fair, your only real reads have been a null read on me and a scum read on Umasi which was mostly a combination of what was previously mentioned by others before.

I don't get where this idea of my calling out Syl for not being firm is coming from. I just didn't like what he had to say and I decided that instead of people joking around I wanted to actually start the game, so I called him out. I didn't really take much of a stance because nothing in his response made me feel like he was scummy.

I'm having a really big scum read on Umasi currently. As explained before, in his first post I think only consists of 1 real accusation which is that I do not like talking about strategy since scum can meta it. To me it seems that he wants town to discuss strategy which leads me to the two most likely conclusions.
1) He doesn't know what to do, usually means a weak town and can be tricked easily by scum, or
2) mafia that wants to know the towns plans and how to use it against them
His only other post is him making a joke at somebody who thinks he's scum and then saying that I didn't pressure Syl hard (which I explain in the paragraph above). He then talks about how I don't like to talk about strategy which I explain why above. He mistakenly calls strategy "mechanics" when they are completely different things (in my opinion). I view mechanics as the rules of the game where strategy is how to play the game. I don't know if this is just me but it seems like he wants to blame that I'm not allowing people to discuss the rules of the game when infact I just don't like when people discuss the strategy they are going to use.


Options 1/2 about strategy are fairly weak, as I mentioned above, there are biggest fish to fry than foiling strategies most of the time when playing scum (honestly, if scum timezones dont match up good luck with getting anywhere on that, but that's outside the scope of our investigations anyways), and I would've thought that discussing strategy would be a good thing since we can actually get an agreement on some things we should(n't) do, since we've already seen (from you nonetheless) that there are problems in the reveal at night X+1 strategy. Had we not discussed this, someone could've followed the train of thought that we've discussed and just gone through with it without thinking about the fact that scum can possibly realise they've been voted for again the following day.

Irrelevant posts are generally null, and I don't really understand the last part about mechanics and strategy but it doesn't really make a case in my mind.

I didn't really care for the cases before but after voting for Umasi and wording it as a sheep vote then complaining that you've been giving reads just doesn't sit that well with me, but I'm at the same time not entirely convinced you're scum yet, there's a high possibility of frustrated town.

Have you actually read the thread? I'm sure you would've already dismissed your idea already because we already discussed revealing witchcraft votes and it was either too risky or there were problems in regards to the overlap of blues because we're not likely to change our votes that much between the days, so it's a simple blue shot no matter when we really reveal... I don't really buy the fact that there's an algorithm which would work in our favour 'depending on certain actions in the games' because there are so many things which can happen.

Following on from that, why would it ever be a smart move to try gather WC votes so obviously when it just sets you up to be a vig target?

The vote on WoS in your very first post sets you up here for a long long tunnel which I'm still currently getting through (though I've taken a skip over the wall of text for now) - if anything I feel like you decided to target WoS after seeing recent posts and then did the long filter dive process to back it up at a later point. This is obviously baseless conjecture but I can see that happening from a scum player.

Yes, I didn't intend to start off with a case, neither reason my vote on WoS more specificly. If there is someone you want my general or specific opinion on, just ask. I have several reads to a direction or another, as well as many nullreads. I just don't consider most of them to be worth sharing right now. Nevertheless I'm content with joining in like this, and I intend to make my thought process clear regarding my reads to the most extent, excluding possible thingamagics I have a tendency of pulling off.

As for a more concise reply: It is because I wanted to not present all my thoughts in the open immediately. I can "fix" it by replying to any queries you might have. I will also be sharing more content when I find it necessary.


How is actively choosing not to give reasoning behind your votes ever townie here? Especially when you make a 'serious' vote on the first post which means that literally no one knows that your train of thought has been before you voted? Choosing to present thoughts only when asked is basically allowing yourself to reveal as little about what you think as possible, which really only has scum motivation behind it since it reduces the likelihood of inconsistencies popping up in the future, no?

Skimming over your case, half the points honestly seem like a stretch and rayn's covered pretty much my thoughts on that, I'll have to get back to your reply soon but honestly it's taken me an hour to hit this point because everyone seems to want to write essays these days :{

Conclusion: I don't really buy Ceph's case, and his entrance to me looks like a forced tunnel into WoS.

That said, I still need to look at a few other filters before getting deeper reads but Ceph's on my radar at the moment.

He's still the best lynch.


Has he done anything since last night to further strengthen your scum read on him? As I said before, I don't really agree with what he's said that much but I can see the train of thought behind it. The contributions which you've provided is just a weak case on Vanesco and continuing to push it.

That said, ET's filter looks pretty horrendous as it can be summed up as so:

Vanesco looks null to scummy because it didn't match Newbie Mafia L (weak)
thrawn posted a list of players who had posted but wasn't advocating lurker lynch (weak)

Nothing else has been said really...

Tbh at the moment ET's filter is really sticking out like a sore thumb to me the more I think about it, since the rest of his posts look like really weak attempts at looking townie :|

Yes, I have read the thread. I still do not consider revealing witchcraft votes after the blues have been re-chosen. I do not consider it smart to keep choosing the same people over and over again, some changes will have to be done. As long as preferably 1 person at most overlaps between consequential nights, it is still very unlikely for scum to hit our blues with the additional information from our voting patterns. If we follow my plan of claiming in a certain order based on my algorhithm, it will be very likely we'll catch scum on that alone since they are forced to lie about their witchcraft votes, as they do not have any.

As for why it would be smart to gather WC votes publically? How do you even know if I actually want the votes? What if I am just building a start for something to presenting myself as a possible target for the bullet to be wasted on? Or maybe I just really really like being a blue and doing stuff? Think about it.

I fail to see how I am tunneling WoS. I have provided my opinions on several other players. There is not enough to convince me he is town currently. Is pressuring your most certain scumread, while actively discussing others tunelling in your opinion? Read the case before accusing me of making an useless wall of text.

Because I was open to replying at any point, as shown in my answers to thrawn's queries. I also fairly quickly followed up with my reasoning. I present thoughts also when not asked, however I don't consider it useful for me to randomly ramble about how I'm unsure about person Y's alignment. Or do you really find it useful? When I have good content to share, I do. When I don't, I follow the thread, ask questions, and reply to questions.

I do like that you are criticizing my play, however I hope my replies will show you why they are from a town perspective.


What you're saying there is that we shouldn't choose our top X town reads to be our votes over the course of the days if they remain the same? Why? Regardless of whether or not I keep my top X the same, it's likely that other people are voting for them too because they are clearly being shown as townie. As the days go on, I'm assuming there'll be mislynches here and there we can't actually afford to switch up our votes that much before we start hitting scum with our votes.

I doubt scum would shoot someone who calls for blue votes so openly, it's too much of a bait. Basically, I just questioned it because from my point of view it seemed like this:
Town calling for blue votes - Bait / basically making the rest of town unwilling to vote for you because it's too much of a risk to have them killed by the blue vig for being too obvious
Scum calling for the blue votes - Just a bonus if he actually gets it, never was a serious call for votes.
It's a fairly weak point anyways, but I just think it's weird to do such an action.

You were tunnelling him for the majority of the time, and gave Van a scum read through association from your points about WoS. You've given points about other players, I agree, I just thought at the time you were way too focused on WoS, since that filter dive post looks like you were being overly nitpicky over everything he's done. It's not a bad thing to nitpick, there's just a point though where I think you were reaching for points which didn't necessarily imply anything but you put it in a context where it tries to make him look scummy (The first point I found was where you said he was pointing out his own mistakes, which isn't really that implicating)

I never said that you should ramble about how unsure you are about a player, but if you'regoing to vote for someone, why not just state why in the first place rather than make people question you? At least it becomes clear from the start where you are coming from. I can see that you answered when asked and you gave your reasoning fairly soon after, I just think it would've had the same effect with less questions about motive if you did it from the start.

I think his posting before the last couple of posts is fine. I don't like his vote on ET - what it is based on, and how it happened.

ET's posting Sylencia calls him out for was fine at that point he posted the case on thrawn. There is nothing wrong with it and while thrawn has imo made better posts now it seems like Syl is trying to say "look at this guy voting for a person many people think is town" and misrepresenting the vote based on circumstances that were present when ET actually made the vote.

Also the vote happened after Sylencia called Cephiro "something to watch out for", then he goes reading filters and suddenly there is a vote on ET as a result of filter diving (in about 15 minutes, i doubt he read many filters..) and i don't like it at all.


Ya, it was like the 3rd filter I read. Tbh I should be reading more but I've procrastinated, and only read like 1 more following that post. I am a bad man.

Then posts like this make me go ugh. Why do the two close out each other? Forcing mislynches while figuring out loopholes in strategies isn't that hard to do in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

If Sylencia truly think they are constrained by time and forced to concentrate on mislynches rather than anti-strategizing town, shouldn't we by that logic TRY to make up nice strategies as town, as it forces scum to account for more things, and "being restricted on time", have a hard time of dealing with both mislynches and strategy loopholes?

Yet according to his own opinions, it seems that he is against the idea of strategizing further. (This is the vibe I got from your posting, correct me if I am wrong.)

Has he done anything since last night to further strengthen your scum read on him? As I said before, I don't really agree with what he's said that much but I can see the train of thought behind it. The contributions which you've provided is just a weak case on Vanesco and continuing to push it.

That said, ET's filter looks pretty horrendous as it can be summed up as so:

Vanesco looks null to scummy because it didn't match Newbie Mafia L (weak)
thrawn posted a list of players who had posted but wasn't advocating lurker lynch (weak)

Nothing else has been said really...

Tbh at the moment ET's filter is really sticking out like a sore thumb to me the more I think about it, since the rest of his posts look like really weak attempts at looking townie :|

##vote EchelonTee

Continuing on to more reading...


1) Seems like a legit opinion, and he is actually trying to carry the conversation into something more useful, rather than going all "Nope that's useless"

2) I don't like how he says short actions that are appareantly weak, but doesn't tell why they are weak.
(Not too hard to figure out if you think about, I assume the Van one is related to meta, and thrawn for pointing out something and not carrying on with it -> unnecessary filter). I just prefer townies to explain their reasons rather than keep the reader guessing.

He has pro-town and pro-scum points quite evenly, but at the moment slightly based on my gut read and the way he presents himself, I am leaning slightly town on Syl. (In response to WoS's queries.)


I thought it was apparent why they were weak... (I typed out the below before realising what you wrote in brackets LOL)
1) It's a meta read based on a single game, and no points have truly been raised about what he's said or done in the current game. Someone who isn't active or pressuring as the previous game isn't necessarily scummy. People have mentioned this, but just because rayn is not spamming and pressuring people as much doesn't necessarily make him scum.
2) For Thrawn he just agrees with vayn, and then just stops pretty much.

hz: (too lazy to quote here)
Yes, I implied it, I'm just not 100% confident about my own points so I pursued others whilewaiting for a response, since that would either explain something that I was mistaken about or futher imply someone's guilt. In this case, I don't think I got a solid response that necessarily says "Ok, I was wrong about Ceph", but there's enough there where I can say that I wouldn't give him my Witchcraft vote, but I probably wouldn't pursue him further for now becuase there are others who look worse.

Also, vote me for blue.

I'd like to hear more from players: raynpelikoneet, hzflank, thrawn, Sn0_Man + Myself.

Have you actually read the thread? I'm sure you would've already dismissed your idea already because we already discussed revealing witchcraft votes and it was either too risky or there were problems in regards to the overlap of blues because we're not likely to change our votes that much between the days, so it's a simple blue shot no matter when we really reveal... I don't really buy the fact that there's an algorithm which would work in our favour 'depending on certain actions in the games' because there are so many things which can happen.

Following on from that, why would it ever be a smart move to try gather WC votes so obviously when it just sets you up to be a vig target?

The vote on WoS in your very first post sets you up here for a long long tunnel which I'm still currently getting through (though I've taken a skip over the wall of text for now) - if anything I feel like you decided to target WoS after seeing recent posts and then did the long filter dive process to back it up at a later point. This is obviously baseless conjecture but I can see that happening from a scum player.

Even though a certain confidence in one's reads is a must.


Ok. So what are your thoughts on this game? You've just now made your first post, but it's somewhat devoid of content which is surprising since you already know who you want to vote for. You've discussed some things with me without really talking about your own views on the game. So far, despite you making a serious vote and having a serious conversation with me about another player, I still have no clue how you're thinking about the game. Why is this and can you fix it?


Yes, I didn't intend to start off with a case, neither reason my vote on WoS more specificly. If there is someone you want my general or specific opinion on, just ask. I have several reads to a direction or another, as well as many nullreads. I just don't consider most of them to be worth sharing right now. Nevertheless I'm content with joining in like this, and I intend to make my thought process clear regarding my reads to the most extent, excluding possible thingamagics I have a tendency of pulling off.

As for a more concise reply: It is because I wanted to not present all my thoughts in the open immediately. I can "fix" it by replying to any queries you might have. I will also be sharing more content when I find it necessary.


How is actively choosing not to give reasoning behind your votes ever townie here? Especially when you make a 'serious' vote on the first post which means that literally no one knows that your train of thought has been before you voted? Choosing to present thoughts only when asked is basically allowing yourself to reveal as little about what you think as possible, which really only has scum motivation behind it since it reduces the likelihood of inconsistencies popping up in the future, no?

Skimming over your case, half the points honestly seem like a stretch and rayn's covered pretty much my thoughts on that, I'll have to get back to your reply soon but honestly it's taken me an hour to hit this point because everyone seems to want to write essays these days :{

Conclusion: I don't really buy Ceph's case, and his entrance to me looks like a forced tunnel into WoS.

That said, I still need to look at a few other filters before getting deeper reads but Ceph's on my radar at the moment.

I looked over this a couple of times and I'm not sure what conclusion to draw. Initially I thought 'Well here's a completely new point nobody has brought up regarding the Ceph case before. I disagree with the conclusion (same as Umasi) but it looks like he's legitimately diving and putting forth effort. Townie points.'

The issue I'm finding now upon reading it again is, what mindset does it take to assume that Ceph's aggression is forced? Sylencia's assumption obviously wasn't a common thought amongst those people who tried to debunk Cephiro's case on me, otherwise it would have been brought up already.

I think originally I had Sylencia as town but on second thought now I'm not so sure. It seems my thoughts may be more in line with hzflank. He calls his own idea of pre-targeting 'baseless conjecture,' and most importantly he calls it something he could see as scum being likely to do---but would a townie immediately consider this? I think it speaks of a scum mindset honestly. I have him just below null on the scum-o-meter and I will not be lynching him today; as was stated I don't think it will be too difficult to garner reads on him as we go forward.

The point of my game though was to see who would engage freely and see which of the points I initially thought of when looking through Sylencia were brought up by others and why---again this can often be very telling as to where others' mindsets lie when performing analysis.

As it stands right now I shared some of Umasi's and hzflank's thoughts enough that I am still fine in where my vote stands---on Onegu, who did not bother to address what was going on in thread, rather he chose to comment on my post defending his activity and throw out some other irrelevant reads for the moment.


Eh, at the moment I'm more trying to interpret posts in the shoes of those who say it, and figure out their train of thought behind posting it. It's potentially more telling than just interpreting things at face value. That's why I said it was mostly baseless conjecture, because there is a ton of assumption put behind some of the points I bring up.

I don't really like this. You don't really put effort in to even cross-check the players from the last game (of witchcraft) which is really simple to do. The only player to play in the last one is Thrawn who was shot night 1. But I think that is not very relevant since each game can turn out different. I think you should come to your own conclusions on how to play this themed game instead of hoping others tell you how to play. It just seems like your not willing to put the effort in to even try to solve this game for yourself. It's also very dangerous to discuss strategy because scum can see everything also and can use that against town. I'm of the opinion that everybody should play the way THEY think is the correct way to play.


Relax there.

Anyone who's played with me before nows I'm at work during these hours - though lazy on my part I don't have the time to extensively browse through the past to find all the information I want. In any case I wasn't asking "how to win guys", it was more of a "were there any traps which caused trouble for town that we should look out for" but since there's an entirely new cast of players pretty much there's not really any answers to give unless someone here obsed the last game and can remember it.

If you have the time to write that paragraph, you have time to answer my question. Why won't you discuss your thoughts on Witchcraft, and only spend time defending yourself?

I disagree with people claiming actions, because if I voted someone as a blue and they avoided the blue-vig, I'd like to continue voting them.


Why is it so important for Syl to answer your question about blue roles?

I mean, that is the least important type of question that someone could ignore. What were you expecting to get out of Syl?

That was the very beginning of the game. I wanted Syl to talk. It did not succeed because apparntly I am supposed to expect that Syl will not respond rationally to questions.


When didn't I respond rationally?

Tbh at the moment ET's filter is really sticking out like a sore thumb to me the more I think about it, since the rest of his posts look like really weak attempts at looking townie :|

##vote EchelonTee

Continuing on to more reading...

If I was scum, I would be pushing a mislynch on a poor-playing townie because it is extremely easy to do so. My last game as scum I do so ineffectively (but still do), but if you look at any of my previous scum games (liar game, jubjub mafia) you'll see. Since I am town, I am must less sure about my reads.

Since the entirety of your case seems to be that I have weak opinions, which is true as it is Day 1, there's nothing more I have to say to you.


It's just as easy for scum to sheep, in fact with Majority Voting it's better than they don't push mislynches and let town panic themselves to a mislynch. As for meta, it's mildly weak as a point of attack, but it's honestly crap when it's used as defense. If you're so aware of how you play as scum, it sets you up in the future to abuse that meta and claim you're playing differently.

About Onegu's self vote: Hate it, but I can't see scum doing it though at the same time it is a problem whether or not he's scum because it's a vote we can't use to get a majority. If he's town we need 7 of 9 to vote scum (w/o bus), and that's kinda unlikely :|

Rayn: That case is pretty spectacular. I like it.

Sticking to my vote for ET tonight.

Much tired at the moment, if I'm awake in a few hours I'll be properly reading the posts. From the light skimming in the few minutes I had here and there, I'm pretty sure I found Ceph scummy beyond belief but I need to look at it again in context to make sure. If I'm correct my gut feeling I'm pretty set on a ceph lynch.

IN any case, bbl

Amount of Town / Amount of Blues elected.

Basically, I'm thinking we should no-lynch today. That way we are able to have a 3-blue election again tomorrow, providing none of today's get sniped. It also leaves us one more town player for scum to target during the night, making them a little less likely to hit blues. This will basically give us a +1 blue per cycle until snipe or mislynch. At the moment I'm considering it as a fairly good option, but for today only. (We're certainly not no-lynching multiple times as it's our only way of killing scum.) With everyone seemingly all over the place, swinging from target to target, as much as I'd like to believe I can't see us lynching scum today. No-lynch is better than mislynch.

1) We get +1 blue nominated per cycle until snipe or mislynch
2) Scum has 1 more target to choose who to kill and/or try to snipe, making it a little more hard for them to decide.
3) We will have more information to get a proper, scum lynch on D2 to start it off with.

These benefits are made under the assumption that we are mislynching today, which unfortunately looks extremely likely to happen in my eyes. Give these points a thought.


At this stage, town isn't in the best shape. I honestly don't think that a no-lynch is really an option because we needed information. Getting an extra witchcraft vote is absolutely useless if we can't take full advantage of them, since the chance of striking gold with a DT check is fairly low, and even then you can't actually reveal that easily for there'll be a blue vig waiting to revenge kill you if you do reveal.

His reasoning of town swinging around and having no-lynch being better than lynching someone is both a way to try stifle discussion by making everyone take the lazy route, and him also trying to take the lazy way out of not having to commit to voting seriously.

One has to note that since this is majority lynch, mislynching is almost always going to leave some scum exposed when flipped, so it's a fair play to try stop that from happening since they stop information from coming out and they get a free NK.

Oh don't worry, people's votes on me make no sense, therefore I am relying on them not sticking.

For example, WoS tends to think that people are town when they are reading the game in a similar fashion to him, right? Remember when I pushed you and WoS said "I was going to do that" or when I read Syl and WoS said they he read it the same way I did? WoS does not think I am scum, WoS wants me to be scum because I offended him and/or he saw my ego in full effect when he coached me. His vote can still change.

As for Thrawn and ET, well they are defaulting to me because they have no one better to vote for and they did not like my case on Sn0. The thing is, if you read me carefully you will noticed that my case on Sn0 was never meant to be pushed. In that portion of the game I actually thought that Umasi and ET were scum. The case on Sn0 was an attempt to engage him which failed. The case was also an attempt to make people view him in a more negative light so that I could see what people said about him when he appeared to be a somewhat easy lynch.

People don't really think that I am scum yet still want to lynch me D1. Reminds me of the White flag game that just ended


But there isn't someone else that'll gain enough traction in time, that's my issue. It's not that I think you're scum, you just aren't town enough to warrant a no-lynch.


But on the other hand I guarantee you that there are some people who are present but lurking, since it is deadline time and majority lynch. So there are some people who are present but will just casually go through with my lynch. They'll probably move their votes soon, too.


right now your best chance of living is to explain why you want sylencia to die


I already explained it. Sylencia posted a several paragraph's about Cephiro's take on WoS. The entire point of what Syl posted can only possibly of existed if Syl thought that Ceph was scum, because Syl thought that it was an intentional tunnel upon entry to the game (only scum do that). Therefore, in Syl's mind Ceph must of been scum. Syl never played as if he thought that Ceph was scum, therefore what Syl wrote about Ceph was fake.


No, I wasn't certain what I had said was exactly right and so I posted it out there to get someone's (ideally Ceph's) thoughts on it. During that time I looked at other people since that's more productive than hoping for an answer. I get how it looks shady though.

About the lynch, is it not possible that we can agree on targets > 15 minutes before deadline? The last minute votes and switching makes it kind of difficult to interpret many of the players' intentions since so many are "here is my vote so we don't no-lynch" which is atrocious honestly.

Then comes the hammer vote:

What happened to his reasoning above? No where does he ever say "actually, bad plan guys, let's lynch." He just hammers, even though he can see the town death coming.

From my perspective, he was in a pretty rocky situation anyways:
- Doesn't vote: He'd cop a bunch of backlash from the players who were active at the time, and it'd make him look suspicious for not hammering.
- Does vote: Still looks shady because he's mentioned the above and completely backtracks and hammers.
That said, if he truly believed what he wrote above he would've stuck with it but I'm guessing he forgot he even mentioned the plan and just went with the flow.

Well, at least I showed fellow town I'm ready to co-operate even if I don't completely agree on something. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing to be honest.

Also I'm gonna go sleep right now to get my rhythm fixed, I'm tired. I'll respond all the "lolcephhammer" -accusations that will surely come in the morning.


1st sentence: The point is you still did.
2nd sentence: LOL. Honestly I would've wanted to shoot him on the spot for that if I was a vig Following town like that 'despite what you think' is more of a scum play than a town play in most cases. You co-operate because it's convenient for you to kill off a townie.

Not to mention if you look at Ceph's filter and search for mentions of gumshoe, it sounds like he has a more townish feel for gumshoe, and yet he kills him off. That's ridiculous. Of course, we don't know what his read was because he specifically said that he wouldn't reveal anything unless we asked but it's a bit late for that now.

Basically I don't see a townie writing this.

My predictions for scum group are: {Ceph, ET, Sn0, hzflank} - pick 3.

I haven't covered the last 2 that much, but PoE and whatnot. I'm more worried about hzflank just because almost every game if you avoid the D1 lynch you'll get a free ride for a few days, which could explain last minute train on gumshoe.

Skimming sn0 shows he was one of the lazy voters for the lynch, and hasn't really pushed for anyone except OO, but never votes him or makes a solid case against him. At this point I'd say he's more likely to flip scum than hz, but I need to properly read his filter at some point.

##Vote Cephiro

Hopeless is someone I'd be wanting to lynch too because it's rather easy for him to worm his way out if he's scum from the mess ET left for him. It's pretty vital that that is kept in mind during the course of the day.

Easy enough, nothing's changed since my post about him. OO's reads were pretty close to what I had as a list when he was alive too.

In terms of what's happened during Day 2, stop trying to get at each others throats and go for the more probable targets. Rayn train is dumb imo, he's still townier than a lot of others.

I heard in White Flag the scum team threw themselves to try save their teammate. I don't think a repeat of that happened. The case he presented doesn't really have anythign else to it. Thing is, I don't think scum Onegu is that lazy when it comes to making cases..

##Vote Cephiro

Hopeless is someone I'd be wanting to lynch too because it's rather easy for him to worm his way out if he's scum from the mess ET left for him. It's pretty vital that that is kept in mind during the course of the day.

Easy enough, nothing's changed since my post about him. OO's reads were pretty close to what I had as a list when he was alive too.

In terms of what's happened during Day 2, stop trying to get at each others throats and go for the more probable targets. Rayn train is dumb imo, he's still townier than a lot of others.


-could lynch hopeless
-people aren;t going up for the probable targets during d2

the serious targets mentioned so far have been rayn onegu and et but they aren't "probable" and the only one he bothers mentioning is rayn?

sylencia why are you dismissing the onegu and hopeless lynches even though you yourself said you could lynch hopeless?


There have been what, 2 or 3 posts about Hopeless, the rest have been a massive 'rayn/onegu is scum' talk. How does that show that Hopeless is a probable target? It doesn't really, since no one is talking about him. In any case, my vote isn't weird at all considering there has been no defense from Ceph and we're already in the second half of day 2. I dunno why this town is so dead.

I talked about him last cycle, I have a better read this cycle. I'd much rather pursue that, but no one seems to listen.

Ceph dies, he flips scum, we're all happy. Easy. Thrawn, you don't sound like you have a town read on him (null?). Read his filter again. See it from scum perspective. Does it make sense? It probably should , and you should probably vote him.

Alternatives: Not Onegu, and not rayn. Onegu I have my reasons, rayn I've seen him as town for the majority of the game. Hopeless is an option, since he followed ET, and so is Sn0, WaveOfShadow has posted a good case on him, and I'd back that case.

Problems: I'm only around for the next 2 hours (maybe less, it's 1AM here). I need a reason to believe that Ceph is less likely to be scum compared to any of the alternatives. I don't really see it, but at the same time with the town being so AFK, I need to be on the most likely target else we get no lynch.

Anyone here to discuss?

Scum strategy to post like absolute fucking crazy and put in a lot of effort D1 only to skate by on it the rest of the game?
Seems unlikely to me as I've never seen it before. not impossible, but enough to let him slide for that, UNLESS we plan on lynching him simply for lurking, which I am not necessarily opposed to. I'm all about policy today because on the whole there are too many people playing like shit today who shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.


I don't think they're doing it because they are relying on D1, it's that they're relying on the fact D2 is so quiet, there's no reason for them to necessarily speak up. If I was scum here, 1 post every day and I'm done. You'd live through D2, get a bit of flak when activity picks up but there's pretty much no downside with the state of this town.

Man, went to bed regretting not fake claiming I checked Ceph, but that was too ballsy and had way too much riding on my read being correct.

Still, Ceph honestly needs to die. Whoever mentioned I was scum and was bussing Ceph - that makes no sense considering I wouldn't set up a bus during N1 and ride it during D2 knowing everyone wasn't even looking that way.

This town is messed up.

Anyways:

Where did he claim scum? I'm seeing a lot of "I'm town", not "I'm scum".

If you're talking about the way he plays, someone already mentioned that no scum would be so co-operative before the deadline providing every read they have and whatnot.

I thought Onegu was town primarily because I'm fairly sure that quote in the previous post of mine was a subtle blue hint.

I like his following defense against my accusations against him during N1... oh wait he never said a word about it since everyone forgot about it.

The vote claim thing?

A bit late for that. As well as the way our blues have actioned if my current theory is anywhere near the truth, revealing the votes might end up being more harm, since we don't have many town players left. I reckon there may still be some use if I modified it a little, but I don't see it as a game-changer at this point. There is a lot more to gain from analysis right now.

Horrible play - he's unwilling to ever tell us what the plan was. He says we should've gone along with it earlier (N2 was the earliest we could've gone with the revealing votes, and we just passed N2...) despite that being impossible.

I don't consider it possible for WoS to be the godfather if he is scum, he would not try to gain towncred so hard as he has the whole game otherwise.



Ok, Ceph claims here. Who actually voted for him during N1. If there's no one, this is obviously fake. Tracking me is such a convenient action to choose from anyways, since no one trusted me during D1, and so obviously I'm not going to have any action. Action 1 would've been Track WoS if we were being realistic here.

Also, is it wrong in thinking the following:

- If we mislynch it's 4v3 tomorrow day.
- If we have town gain a power we will probably lose since it's likely scum hasn't used a single bullet yet, so they can just yolo shot the two most likely people to have a power.
- If they hit, they win.

Game is hard.

Back to reading.

Vanesco's D1 read list is infi useful here:

"Cephiro:
Has gone very hard on WoS and I stand by my read from my previous post on him, however since he has gone SOOOO against the grain it would be a strange play by scum. Still slightly scummy but less so than before."

He wouldn't have voted for Ceph.

If anything it was WoS, OO, Hopeless

If you fake claim and town are so lazy (look at our d2) that we don't reveal votes or we didn't do this, then he could get away with it. Before he posted, 5 people of the 10 there had come into the thread and posted. No one had claimed any votes for what, 12 hours? One would guess it'd be safe to do so so long as your scum buddies can cover your ass by saying they voted you. But I guess that's suicide.

Hiding blue shots is pretty good if it's at this stage where it doesn't look like they've used a shot for reasons I've said before:

It makes us scared to actually elect hard-town as our single power role since they're going to be blue-targetted and end the game (assuming we mislynch)

I am NOT about to try and solve a mystery over who said who, who misinterpreted who, and who's lying when one of the people involved is rayn. All three of those things are pretty much exactly what rayn and I argued about endlessly in desert and I do not care enough about forum mafia to subject myself to that again.

The only reason I gave rayn a pass initially is because he started playing the game, but those are pretty low standards to hold him to. ET will hate me for this but I don't see how rayn could still see ET as scum at this stage in the game. That tunnel is looking more forced as it's continued over into N1. (btw rayn, nobody needs to respond to your case on ET because you should be able to figure it out for yourself) Also go look at the argument I had with rayn about Syl, can you figure out exactly wtf his motives were during that conversation? He appeared to have absolutely no interest in what hzflank said about Syl, instead choosing to make the issue entirely about how I've waited until now to bring up a point made a day ago? Is that even a legitimate concern? The argument kinda fizzled out with, from what I could tell, rayn not having reached any conclusions about my alignment. So I can't figure out what his issue was other than he wanted to discredit me.

Yes, I think I will be joining you on the rayn-train tomorrow.



how can you possibly vote for rayn here?

Considering how your Night 1 posts insinuate that you've been thinking rayn was scummy during D1, I don't see your N1 posts being irrelevant whatsoever. If you were town you put WC votes behind people you are leaning scum lol

Vanesco is lynch bait, scum are hopeless, thrawn and ceph. if ceph dies and then you look at the other 2 i mentioned in context, the link is clear. if ceph is town i don't even know, this town is absolutely useless. present evidence -> ignore and proceed to vote otherwise.

I'm not around for the lynch deadline, and you guys seem to enjoy killing yourselves in the hour leading up to it anyways, so there's honestly no point in trying to argue if any evidence I provide just falls on deaf ears.

tbf I think your case on thrawn is pretty weak. Everybody seemed to think rayn was town D1, why would thrawn not vote for him, and why is it scummy? Unless you can prove he voted for rayn witch while having a scumread on him. Maybe he was just pressuring? Because the timestamps you quoted are like mid phase D1?

Alright, sorry I wasn't around yesterday, I had to stay back at work to fix some bug and that left me in a pretty grumpy mood getting home - wasn't exactly wanting to hop onto TL to what I expected to be people yelling at me being scum.

Will start reading in a sec, but since it's 4-2 why are we not no lynching? I guess I'll find that out in a bit...

Seems like a reasonable play as either alignment considering Umasi's obviously town... I considered how it would reflect on rayn and I've decided it doesn't help read him at all.

In other news I read Syl and I don't see evidence for him being scum. I don't see any for him being town either though, its kinda messed up. Tunnelling Cephiro ALL GAME LONG seemed reasonable as either alignment. The swap onto "RAYN AND THRAWN SCUM HUEHUEHUE" seems equally dumb as either alignment. This games dum.

Well koshi was indeed town.

People seem to disagree, but at 4:2 the correct play here is to no-lynch. Barring that, Koshi's death means that syl and hopeless are both almost certainly scum.

Last night's blue role CAN SAFELY CLAIM NOW since dying to silver bullet merely removes our no-lynch option, which is IMO worth less than a check would be. Plus you will be alive all day today and have a lynch vote.

If the blue role claims, no-lynch is no longer an option. Actually, no-lynch seems scary now that I think about a blue-vig possibility.

OK. no no-lynch after all.

##Vote: Hopeless1der


I guess that explains my previous question. Actually, game state is horrible since there can be the double blue-shot attempt and we'd be down to 2-2(loss)/2-1(lylo) if they hit. I now regret my decision in skipping playing yesterday =[

I want to lynch Hopeless and Syl. I don't really care which since they are both scum. Rayn could be (that suspicion keeps getting stronger) but I'm ignoring that since even if he is there must be another scum out there.

Literally nobody else can be scum (I have a green pm, you can't be scum, thats the entire thread). The only good reasons I have for them to be scum (apart from EchelonTee and vanesco tag-teaming shit like pushing you day 1, voting me d2, etc) is process of elimination.

Any point you can put on me (too lazy to scumhunt) applies to hopeless in fucking spades. Syl has been off in lala land all game apparently thats more townie than having fun with the game d1, doing my best to discuss onegu day 2, actually voting for scum d3, etc...

You guys are all so out of touch because scum kept whispering "sno is scum" in the thread till people believed it for NO REASON. Koshi himself said (and he's conftown) that I afk most weekends you can't lynch me for that. Note how he got killed because Koshi was the single person most against my lynch in the whole thread.


The evidence was so strong, and the fact he was dodging me the entire game while saying "he'd respond to accusations asap" wasn't exactly helping.

@Thrawn re: Hopeless lynch on D2 - my strong Ceph tunnel truly began then. Pretty crippling to my image since I could've spent that time being a bit more open minded, but what's done is done.

Tbh: I have nothing much else to present, feel free to ask me questions since it's all I can do to stop myself from throwing the game further. I'll say that between Hopeless and Sn0, Hopeless is 100% more scummy than sn0 considering his 'we've already won' attitude from the night onwards. I'm town and logically the 2 scum would be Hopeless and sn0, yet it doesn't even seem that clear to me that that is the right answer.

@Rayn: yeah nah, no lynch no go

Considering the last scum is 95% chance of being between him and sn0 (assuming hopeless is scum), I still haven't written him off as scum. Then again, turns out I interpret stuff badly, so I could just be completely off base with what I said.

I think hzflank is a decent choice.

My initial impression was that hzflank was slight town because he was doing a lot of planning and public thinking, things that I normally associate with towniness, but that is not super indicative of much.

I thought his case on Sn0 was very poor in terms of logic.

Can WoS post this actively as scum? Not a fan of his take on the game so far.


I assume that by 'his take on the game' you mean his reads? Well you know that disagreeing with someone's reads does not make them scum. You also fail to say which reads or why you disagree with them. Additionally, WoS's reads changed a bit before he read Gumshoe's post, but not between that and you making your post.

1.) So, you think WoS might be scum, but your reason that you state for that is not based on the exchange between WoS and Gumshoe. But if you think that WoS is scum then I would think that you would at least reference their exchange for one reason or another.

"Hey guys i'm super excited I rolled scum which I never do. OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY"
-WoS

Iunno. Doesn't feel like the WoS I've played with. I'll let it develop.

In other news, much desire to lynch Onegu. A) he's always scum B) I never catch/suspect him.


Here you give an additional reason for thinking that WoS is scum, which is purely a meta reason. It's not really a meta reason that can be questioned either, as you are basing it on a feeling.

2.) It's one thing to call someone scum without a good reason, or to call someone scum but not follow up in it. But to do both at the same time? Is there a point to doing it that I am missing?

Then when you move on, you happen to move onto Onegu who is the exact person that WoS thinks is scum. If you feel uncomfortable with WoS, then you should also feel uncomfortable with wanting to lynch the same person that he wants to lynch.

On the other hand, your reasons for desiring to lynch Onegu are a joke. If you were completely joking (about wanting to lynch Onegu, not the reasons) then my previous paragraph becomes void. It also means everything you posted was pointless (attack WoS, get response so use joke to detatch).

Moving on to Sno's exchange with OO:

You are like, incredibly desperate to justify yourself. If you weren't so uptight I'd be leaving it alone. Actually I was leaving it alone ur the one pushing it lol.


3.) Snoman very casually removes himself from the discussion. If Snoman wanted information on OO then this was his time to do so, but it just seems like Snoman actually wants to run away.

I don't care how little confidence you have in your D1 reads, if you twice have the chance to question your scum reads directly and twice decide to distance yourself from them instead then you do not really think that they are scum.

##vote: Sno_man

1.) hzflank calls Sn0 bad for not mentioning an exchange btwn WoS and gum. This a poor point because Sn0 simply states that he is "not a fan of [WoS's] take on the game"; that could include that exchange btwn WoS and gum.

2.) hzflank claims that Sn0 man is both calling someone scum without a good reason and not following up on it. This is a poor point because says "Doesn't feel like the WoS I've played with. I'll let it develop", which does not sound like him calling WoS scum. It clearly is stating that Sn0 wants more information before deciding. hzflank misrepresents Sn0 here.

Sn0's comment on Onegu is null, yet hzflank implies that because it is a joke everything else is Sn0 has done is pointless. I feel that that is a misrepresentation once again; while I don't think Sn0 has been substantive in his posts, just because he jokes around about Onegu doesn't mean everything he's said is bull shit.

3.) I agree that Sn0's post here is weird, but of the three points hzflank makes, this is the only that has merit in my opinion.

While I still think Sn0 is scummy (sidelined for the moment), it's not uncommon for scum to make cases on scum (myself on Onegu in Hogwarts). The case doesn't feel right/genuine.


While his read on Umasi has decent logic, the vote on Umasi is essentially dead at this point. He has been noticbly absent for quite some time now; he is from the UK though.

I think it's better than a no-lynch, and I think there's a chance a decent chance he's scum.

##Vote: hzflank



Why is it that when I read his reasoning I can't see this from a town perspective? Case 2 suggests he is simply isolating points based on the quote which is being referred to - since the first quote has a clear undertone suggesting sn0 felt WoS was scummy.

Looking at that post, and then seeing he says

I will not be around at deadline, but if a vote switch is needed I should be able to do that by phone.


Which doesn't even make him seem like he believed his case, and was simply going with the flow the entire time (hz was equal with him at the time I believe in votes)
His switch to gumshoe doesn't really sit well either, it's like he was waiting to see if there would be a scrambled bandwagon to jump on, seeing as how page 3 of his filter he doesn't see gumshoe being scum.

That's what I saw from ET's filter. Hopeless as far as I can remember hasn't actually done anyting this game, I'll read his filter in a sec

Lol hopeless has apparently had a scum read on me since he's replaced in but he's had no actual case on me other than omgus and thrawn's case on me changing to Ceph and concentrating my efforts on him.

Also, doesn't it raise red flags when you read his filter and there's no actual written case against me, it's dumped all on sn0, and yet he votes for me? Potential reasoning: Based on his overconfident behaviour, he's sure he's able to get the final mislynch off before they win which means exposing sn0 doesn't actually mean jack.

@thrawn: i was leaning slightly to town. Just to be sure, if you were suspicious of rayn during night 1, why was he in your votes?

Of course I'm town -_-

I just can't figure out if he's trying to bus sn0 but was then given a chance to change votes so he jumped ship to a free win or what...

we've been over this... I wasn't really suspicious of him when I voted. I sorta, kinda was during N1, and at the start of D1, but not right at the end of D1 which is when I voted. the other reason is that I had no reason, i was stoned and didn't care, and thought that if rayn's town I trust him to use blue powers better than anyone else would, if he's scum I truly didn't give a shit, due to being stoned.... :p


I can't even argue with that because there is no way to prove if you were stoned -___________-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

what do you think about sn0man? if you're town, at some point you are gonna have to convince us that sn0 is scummier than you, not just hopeless

what do you think about rayn's green check on umasi?


I'll look at him now, but your wording still makes me worried here. Shouldn't you be saying "you're going to have to convince us that sn0 is scum not you"? why thrawn why -_-

towards town

Because you were one of the main people who consistently looked for suspicious posts, but then I guess I had doubts during a few filter dives and saw early d1 cases that made me think "What if we're all wrong" so I had that thought kinda just in the back of my mind the entire time =\

No. There are 2 scum left. If you're town, say we lynch hopeless today like you suggest. There is going to be a day after that where you will have to show us why we should lynch sn0man instead of you. I'm only asking that you do it now so that we can try to read you.


Yes, but the point is if hopeless is scum then we're convincing everyone of who is scum, not sn0 is scummier than me - thus he is the final scum.

In any case, it was just the wording.

Problem is i literally just vomited my entire mind after re-reading virtually every post in the thread. I'm quite contributed out.

I've laid out everything I have. I'll check in and toss my comments but realistically I've said all I can say.
I am not scum.
Thrawn is not scum.
Rayn is very unlikely to be scum.
Umasi is not scum.
Hopeless is scum by PoE and since him and vanesco were pushing the exact same agenda for 2 days running. When asked about vanesco et called him "null or very slightly scummy" despite having exactly the same reads. Hopeless continued to sheep vanesco.
Syl is scum mostly by PoE since he hasn't managed to even push a scum agenda, just be utterly useless. "Lynch cephiro" -> ceph flips town. "OH jk lynch rayn and thrawn".... yeah.



wtf I missed this post before but seriously, where did i ever say "lynch rayn" LOL

I tried but honestly, I'm coming up blank.

Only thing I can say is that at least half of the town has thought sn0 as being scum this entire game, and there is probably good reasoning behind it. I am just not seeing it.

I don't blame you guys if I get lynched, I'll take the blame but that can probably be delayed by 72 hours if Hopeless dies. If I wake up, it'll be ~15 minutes before deadline but no guarantees.

Sorry I let the team down ;-;
