I can see your point of view that Sciberbia has failed to campaign effectively for his views as a general rule, though I think what he has done has contributed to town in his own fashion. I think I'd better go read his meta to see if this is consistent (unfortunately IIRC he has no scum games).

I think the next step is to obtain other opinions and await a response by Sciberbia.

So.. am I still scum to you?


From what I've read so far, I mean, you of all people have played with rayn and that vote just now was pure policy. You know I have also played with rayn a lot and so when I call him town based on what I've read you shouldn't throw it away and still lynch him. Yes he may have been obnoxious and shit flinging but that is because he was quite clearly annoyed at people. He was emotionally invested. It is hard to fake it the way he did and whether he was annoying or not a towny is a towny. You actively went against a win con because you did not want to play with him again.

THAT is scummy. There was Aqua who blatantly disregarded anything rayn said at all. The crux of it comes down to this: He had reads on people that disagreed with thread sentiment. He thought he was correct in those reads and shit things up, so what part of that would have been scummy to you? He went balls to the wall defending someone other people think is scum. Do you think he'd associate that strongly with someone if he was scum? That is not how rayn plays at all.

Why are these posts basically the same? Why are they both attacking Mocsta and trying to pass the blame for the Rayn lynch solely on him? Cause they are scum!

To be honest they look like the exact same post and neither of them were followed up with any suspicion on Mocsta. I think it's more likely that HF was trying to distance himself from the lynch and Onegu is trying to pretend to scum-hunt to gain the town cred he so desperately needs right now. I could see both of them trying this.

I'm not certain I understood the point correctly. Are you saying that they are both scum for having the same opinion, or each of them is scum individually because they have that opinion and it's scummy?

Drop the attitude Holyflare. Corazon had a good excuse for it but you don't and it's wearing thin on me.

If you think Mocsta/Onegu is scum, make a case and I will evaluate it on its merits. Your sniping at them without ever making it exactly clear what you think of them overall and why is unproductive.

Also @Holyflare: Did it occur to you that the best way to deal with any suspicions on you today would be to play well and convince us you were town, rather than claiming a town PR?

@Aquanim, Cora
How likely do you think Mocsta is to be scum?
...

Very unlikely. I have prior experience with Mocsta (Newbie XXXIII, TL Mafia LX, obsed some other games of his) and gut is screaming town. His jumping from read to read, changing previous reads with a new perspective, and occasionally less-than-well-thought-out arguments are what I'd expect from him.

I think if it weren't for Mocsta this thread would be pretty dead overall, he's been doing a lot of the pushing. Just on those grounds I think he's town and certainly a terrible lynch today.

I might can do the Onegu thing but I need to reaffirm my position on him. I am much more confident about JarJar for the reasons I posted in the "notes" spoiler and what I said in my last quote.

My read on JJD yesterday was town but I haven't looked at him again in some time. I'll reassess him.

Please vote Onegu I spent like an hour on that case and you are the only one who has acknowledged its existence...

Duly acknowledged. I want to see his Mocsta case before I make firm conclusions about Onegu's alignment.

@Bereft: Holyflare played scum in Hogwarts Mafia (link). I can't say I've read all of Holyflare's games, but his play in Hogwarts seemed on a quick glance-through to be far more angry, defensive, and unwilling to contribute than what I recall seeing out of him in town games like Heavyweight (link). I find it far easier to believe he's scum this game simply based on his surliness. Lynching an uncounterclaimed town PR sits badly with me but I agree with you that it's a lynch we need to consider.

Bleeack. I'm trying to remember why I townread JJD in the first place and I think it's mostly that he agreed with me (voting Rean and then Rayn). Which, if I'm to be honest with myself, is not a good enough reason.

The Rayn lynch
There were five of us on the Rayn wagon until consolidation happened: Aquanim, Thrawn, Mocsta, Bereft, and JarJarDrinks. The case for Rayn scum was passable but in hindsight had some holes (in particular I'm thinking of the meta point Sciberbia raised). The extra ingredient which made the Rayn wagon justifiable to the townies on the Rayn wagon was genuine frusturation with Rayn's play.

I don't want to play with Rayn anymore full stop.
We had a good town environment until page 25ish and I was relaly enjoying this game.

He has single handedly shit the thread and this game has completely denigrated into somethign I have no interest playing anymore.

My vote is staying on Rayn.

/post-game
If rayn is town this game, you will be added to my personal ban list. Im pretty fucking disgusted right now.

I'm pointing out that you're continuing to troll us instead of playing towny in any way and in so doing continuing to push your lynch. Which is my reason as a townie for continuing to illustrate your failure to contribute.

I made very good cases on people who are scum.
We can talk about this post-game but what you did was "PLZ PPL TELL ME WHAT TO TALK ABOUT OMGOMG I AM SO THREATENED".

so yeah.

Go to hell. In about... 12 minutes.


Most of JJD's posts about Rayn are on page 3 of his filter:

link

And sure, JJD has a fair few posts expressing dissatisfaction with Rayn. However, I'm not sure I buy it quite so much as the posts of Mocsta, Bereft and Thrawn. This is mostly a gut thing, and I'm not certain that JJD was not genuine. The largest difference in the properties of JJD's posts to everybody else's which I can see is that JJD focuses in on individual flaws in Rayn's arguments rather than generalising to the entirety of Rayn's play. An inability to see the bigger picture *could* be indicative of a scum who isn't thinking about the game seriously and trying to get a rounded view of Rayn's posts.

Overall contribution
In fact I would characterise most of JJD's contibutions as focusing in on individual posts which he finds scummy rather than giving an opinion on a player as a whole. I would consider this a scummy way to approach the game - as a townie I certaintly try to evaluate a player's entire filter before giving a read, whereas I can imagine scum wouldn't go to the effort.

My impression from a look at his town game in Newbie 39 (link) and in Basterd Mafialink)is that the quality of his thought is better there - there's more assimilation of the entirety of each player's filter into a judgement of their alignment. Particularly in Basterd I also think his play is more dynamic and he's more interested in the game.

In Bluelightz as scum: (link) I think he cherrypicks aspects of a person's filter more, like he's doing this game.

I really haven't gone into much depth on my meta reading but my feeling is that this game is more similar to his scum meta than his town one. It's a vague feeling, though.

Conclusion: JJD's filter gives me bad feelings now but I can't pin down what makes him scummier than Onegu/Holyflare/(Rean/Jampidampi). He's no longer a townread.

This vote I have on Rean is rapidly becoming a waste of time. At this time I don't think JJD is quite as solid a lynch as Onegu/HF (need to think some more about JJD though, I'm finding getting into his head to be very difficult). Of the other two, Onegu is at least trying. Holyflare's attitude towards this game is completely and utterly uncharacteristic of his town meta and at least a little reminicient of his meta in Hogwarts. If he's scum I think it's highly likely he's stuck with two lurkers for scumbuddies, which would explain his excessive negativity.
