That long post of his looks like it was written pregame, and therefore doesn't tell me much regarding his alignment. He's also expressed a desire to talk with people (specifically VE) which isn't the most intuitive thing I'd expect a scum smurf to do. If he thinks that long post is sufficient contribution for the day I'll agree with you that he's likely scum - but I don't see any reason to believe yet that there won't be more material forthcoming from him. Is there anything else making you lean scum on him? Convince me. | ||

Your filter may be longer than mine but you haven't contributed a single read to the thread. And yes, I'm aware with my filter length calling people out for lurking is a shade hypocritical. I have two answers: 1) I'm pretty sure there's at least half a dozen people with filters shorter than mine 2) Just because I'm a hypocrite doesn't make it any less true. Deal with it. | ||

Skimming through your filter I just saw your "maybe scummy maybe not" read on Derrida and your baseless attack against me. Until a mayoral aspirant actually says "I want to lynch X" I don't have a whole lot to pick and choose between them. In answer to your question though... I'd prefer yamato over rayn since while I reckon they're both probably town I get along with yamato better. DocH apparently doesn't want the job now, but if he did I could live with that too. (He's also town.) What exactly do you mean by "baseless attack"? Do you contest my statement that you've provided no reads and committed to basically no positions, or do you contest that that makes you likely scum? | ||

Let me get this straight. You're saying that if I find somebody who in one and a half pages of filter hasn't given a read on anybody, meaning that they've made no committments that their future play will have to be consistent with, that isn't a good reason to have a scumread on them? Is this seriously the argument which you are making? | ||

Don't get me wrong, I still think Derrida has a lot to prove to us. He's given me no reason to think he's a townie yet. | ||

The bolded is obviously true but it is of secondary importance to me right now. If someone who looked townie accused me I probably would have reacted that way. But it was you who did next to nothing himself and to me it looks really suspicious that my lack of public reads is the scummiest thing you found in this game. what in your opinion is the scummiest thing in the game? Good question. I thought some things BH said were pretty scummy but that was probably wrong obviously... and call it OMGUS but I think Aquanims wishy washy stance on Derrida (he himself felt the need to answer the question about Derrida which was directed at everyone and then only came up with this inconclusive statement - why even say anything about it then?) + his attack against me is scummy too. If someone wants my opinion on something/someone just ask me. It's not hard... But I have to leave for real now. DoctorH asked for opinions on Derrida - I gave mine, 1) to show that I'm thinking about the game and 2) as a starting point for discussion in which myself and others can try to convince one another that our view is correct (and hopefully reach the correct conclusion re. Derrida's alignment). At present I'm not certain what Derrida's alignment is - dunno why you'd expect me to be from the handful of posts he's made. If I had strong, certain reads on everybody the game would be easy. And it's not. You'll also have to try harder than that to make an argument why me pushing you for posting no reads is scummy. | ||

I don't see a single clear read from you in thread. If there is some, could you point me out to one? All i see you say about other people is "they might be town or scum". And yes i answered your question. You asked me if i have a reason to think VE is town and i said i do. Do you have a reason to think VE is mafia? I think JAT is much more likely to be scum than town, for the reasons stated earlier - namely that he didn't seem to have any reads, even when I pushed him for it. I've seen the PMs Thrawn referenced here and I find JAT's reads there entirely unconvincing, just some lacklustre one-liners. Derrida moderately more likely to be scum than town, but that could change fast since his filter really doesn't have much to go on yet. And yes, I have a reason to think VE is mafia. There, see? Two of us can play that game. | ||

You know, it's highly likely one of or yamato is going to be mayor and it would help we get information about who is mafia in your opinion, because apparently it seems like in your opinion i am on the wrong track. I am going to go re-read JAT because from what i remember your statement does not hold water, and taking JAT's meta into account this looks like just about his townplay. What do you think of Xatalos btw? In short, VE's being bloody cagey when I ask him questions, verging on being deliberately obtuse. On January 12 2014 14:12 Aquanim wrote: I guess that's possible. Do you have an opinion regarding my suspicions of justanothertownie? Asked him this question in thread, got no answer so I took it to PMs. Original Message From VisceraEyes: I'll do so eventually - you didn't ask me to explain my reads, you simply asked if they existed. And they do. Show nested quote + Original Message From Aquanim: Well, you won't convince me Mocsta and Marv are scum by not showing me an argument. If you reckon they're scum, try to convince me and I'll listen. Original Message From VisceraEyes: I think that's an unfair generalization of his play. I also have not shared many scumreads with the thread, and I know that I'm town. I don't think him not sharing reads is scummy by itself. And I certainly don't think the OMGUS vote is scummy - OMGUS comes from town FAR more often than it comes from scum in my experience. I'm mostly suspicious of Mocsta and marv, but I'm having a hard time finding anyone who agrees with me. Original Message From Aquanim: The point I was trying to make is that my argument why JAT is likely scum is short. It can be expressed in a single sentence, namely: "He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me." That single sentence characterises his entire filter, and I think a filter which can be characterized by that particular sentence is much more likely from scum. Again, I would like to hear who you think is scum if you aren't convinced by this argument. Original Message From VisceraEyes: Well if there's not much in the thread because there's not much to say, then why am I dodging a question when I can't find the reasoning in your filter? Original Message From Aquanim: There's not much to say. He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me. If you've got anything better in terms of scumreads I'd love to hear it. Original Message From VisceraEyes: I got sidetracked man, I've got 3 tabs open looking at three things. Going over your filter, you I don't see much in the way of actual reasoning. Wanna just sum it up for me? Original Message From Aquanim: On January 12 2014 14:12 Aquanim wrote: I guess that's possible. Do you have an opinion regarding my suspicions of justanothertownie? Did you dodge this question for any particular reason, or did you just miss it? Last time I played with VE town, he engaged with the thread a lot, wasn't afraid to answer questions and was so obvtown he was elected mayor. This game is giving me none of those feelings. Maybe he's just distracted and for whatever reason doesn't think I'm "worthy" of a straight answer, but I'm running out of plausible town explanations. I don't know a whole lot about JAT's town meta except to know he's not Hapa or anything. I'm always willing to debate my reads, and if you make a convincing argument why I'm wrong I can accept that. Xatalos raised some nitpicking stuff early on which I'd scumread him for in a normal game but given most of the real work here is probably happening in PMs it's plausible that what he found was all he could find in the thread to talk about. I sent him a PM a while back but I think he's asleep. | ||

Because you don't really have a stance. You call JAT out for not posting reads. Why is JAT a scumread when about 80% of the game has not posted a single read? JAT had clearly been present for a fair bit of the game but hadn't done anything which seemed like he was even interested in looking for scum. If PM evidence is presented which shows he was looking for scum in that way I will reconsider my read. If ya'll reckon that JAT not looking for scum is his standard town meta I will (disgustedly) move him to null. | ||

Talked with marv and mocsta in PMs and I'm confident they're thinking about the game, hoping someone else who actually wants to deal with suchdoge in PMs will read him, have a slight townread on WoS (and he's pushing suchdoge, anyway, so your characterisation is inaccurate here), and I don't like Koshi's play so far either but I'll get to him later. If I tried to push eight lurkers at once I wouldn't get anywhere. By pushing JAT alone I've drawn reactions from him and others and moved the thread forward. (Before you ask, I'm not telling you everything I've learned from pushing JAT. Deal with it.) You still haven't explained why you think VE's town. I'm happy to discuss this publicly to aid my scumhunting cred points. The line with Koshi is news to me. Can you walk me through this. Same as JAT really, he's posted very little useful in the thread (this is his only post with any real content at all). Especially weird since my impression of Koshi is that he typically has a lot of thread presence. | ||

Do you think a townie would respond in this fashion? I've seen stranger things from newbie town, so I think it's still possible he's town. The scummy points which stick out to me are: - Largely giving up and resigning himself to being lynched resonates with me more as a scum move, though a newbie town feeling lost in this game and not having time could conceivably do the same. Leaning scum on the balance of probabilities though. - Saying that it's a "good read" but that he "doesn't really agree with your points that makes me seem more scummy than the other inactive people" makes very little sense to me, what other points were there in your "good read"? | ||

And yes i answered your question. You asked me if i have a reason to think VE is town and i said i do. Do you have a reason to think VE is mafia? I think JAT is much more likely to be scum than town, for the reasons stated earlier - namely that he didn't seem to have any reads, even when I pushed him for it. I've seen the PMs Thrawn referenced here and I find JAT's reads there entirely unconvincing, just some lacklustre one-liners. Derrida moderately more likely to be scum than town, but that could change fast since his filter really doesn't have much to go on yet. And yes, I have a reason to think VE is mafia. There, see? Two of us can play that game. As a FYI, bugs kinda laid into jat in Quiet game for "having no reads" while he was alive, both in-game and post-game.

At worst, if he's town I have hopefully communicated to him that he should have reads and make them public to convince us all of his alignment.

Well when I PM'd him (it's pasted in the thread somewhere) VE said he was suspicious of you (Marv) and Mocsta, but he'd had difficulty convincing anyone else. When I asked him for his reasons, he stone-walled me. Can anybody else report that VE actually mentioned these reads on Mocsta or Marv to them, and that he actually tried to convince them? | ||

VE is almost unequivocally scum, and WoS is probably scum with him. Of the remaining players it's likely that a newer player is also scum. Chinstrap fits. (I personally want to give the LSB banking guy a bit to come forth with more reads that aren't from his pre-replacement notes). The only other players that are worth a look are BC, gumshoe, and potentially JAT mocsta Coag. The last three I put at unlikely but without having really talked with them or having heard of them through PMs I'm not anywhere near as confident on them being town as some others. WoS posted a bunch of PM logs he has with VE into the thread, what about them makes you think they're fabricated between two scum? Is there anything besides the "I could probably get Helvetica lynched with this PM"? | ||

Aquanim is clearly player who as town (which he's always rolled previously) likes to put a lot of thought into his reads and effort into his posts. He's doing neither of those this game. His explanations for reads only go surface deep, and many of his reads follow the pattern of "maybe this, maybe that, and here's an out for my future self." He doesn't screw around like that as town. He thinks through a problem, and comes to a conclusion which he clearly states. I've been having trouble getting firm reads out of him for much of the game, and when he considers a person's alignment he only takes small portions of their play into account. This is not the thoughtful town Aquanim that I've played with. I also want to mention that I've been in PM contact with him since 15:40 KST, roughly two hours ago and he has not posted in the thread during that time. I'm fairly sure that I noticed this happening earlier in the game. His thread presence is non-existent, but since that is the case with so many likely-townies because of PMs I'd like to hear if any of you have PM'd him enough to get a read on him. Am I the only one who has issues with some of those reads? Even if I put his read on me aside there are problems here: He states that the only things gumshoe has done were townie - is ok lynching him. He states Koshi has done nothing townie - true. But Koshi did play like that in recent games and I somehow doubt he would play this blatantly scummy if he was indeed scum. Ok, maybe Aquanim didn't follow those games. But the kicker is this rayn read. Holy shit. No, OMGUS is not the thing rayn does at all. I basically fought with rayn for half of the PYP really hard and he still had a townread on me for almost the whole game as far as I know. And I totally agree that discussing reads in pm while maybe helping to figure the specific person out prevents other players from reaching conclusions and isn't that helpful for town as a whole. This seems like a really weak cop out to not have to face rayn and/or his reads. Okay then. You've misrepresented my statement on Gumshoe - what I actually said was "what he's done so far is townie, but if what he's done so far is ALL he does then it won't be enough to stop me scum-reading him for being useless" (put more explicitly here to prevent misunderstanding). As for rayn, if you think my view is groundless I guess you didn't read Back to the Basics, which is my only first-hand experience with him. I'm going to recast my question to you very simply. Do you think I am the best lynch tomorrow or not? | ||

I've been having trouble getting firm reads out of him for much of the game, and when he considers a person's alignment he only takes small portions of their play into account. This is not the thoughtful town Aquanim that I've played with. I also want to mention that I've been in PM contact with him since 15:40 KST, roughly two hours ago and he has not posted in the thread during that time. I'm fairly sure that I noticed this happening earlier in the game. His thread presence is non-existent, but since that is the case with so many likely-townies because of PMs I'd like to hear if any of you have PM'd him enough to get a read on him. Am I the only one who has issues with some of those reads? Even if I put his read on me aside there are problems here: He states that the only things gumshoe has done were townie - is ok lynching him. He states Koshi has done nothing townie - true. But Koshi did play like that in recent games and I somehow doubt he would play this blatantly scummy if he was indeed scum. Ok, maybe Aquanim didn't follow those games. But the kicker is this rayn read. Holy shit. No, OMGUS is not the thing rayn does at all. I basically fought with rayn for half of the PYP really hard and he still had a townread on me for almost the whole game as far as I know. And I totally agree that discussing reads in pm while maybe helping to figure the specific person out prevents other players from reaching conclusions and isn't that helpful for town as a whole. This seems like a really weak cop out to not have to face rayn and/or his reads. Okay then. You've misrepresented my statement on Gumshoe - what I actually said was "what he's done so far is townie, but if what he's done so far is ALL he does then it won't be enough to stop me scum-reading him for being useless" (put more explicitly here to prevent misunderstanding). As for rayn, if you think my view is groundless I guess you didn't read Back to the Basics, which is my only first-hand experience with him. I'm going to recast my question to you very simply. Do you think I am the best lynch tomorrow or not? You seem like a decent lynch, yes. That wasn't the question I asked. "Decent" isn't the same thing as "best". I want you to say, one way or the other, whether you think at this time there are NO other people in the game who are more likely to flip scum than me. | ||

It's the way he posts. He has really good posts. Especially lately. For example? Being suspicious of you, because you had a hard time getting reads cos everyone was in PM's. Now we have a scum flip and you are still not getting anything out of it. How does being suspicious of me before the flip make him look good then? But you are actually right. I didn't really go back to what Xatalos said yet and should probably do that asap. I (and everyone else, I imagine) would like to know what conclusions you draw from connections to Xatalos. | ||

comments about BH and gumshoe mayor campaigns aren't alignment-indicative. jumping all over Alakaslam could be some scum plan because he knew Alak would have an answer, but I doubt it In his first long post of reads he has a problem with BH (presumably town), me, mkfuba/Coag and suchdoge. I'm inclined to guess this points towards coag and doge being town. He didn't really commit hard to any of the four reads so he could have plausibly snuck a scumbuddy in as well, but I think it's less likely. Regarding his disagreement with DrH about the PMs they sent between one another, I don't think it was prearranged. Either DocH is town and they had a misunderstanding, or DocH is scum and they goofed talking about the PMs they'd allegedly sent between one another then tried to cover it up. Definitely leaning towards the former explanation. Doubt his vote for yamato as mayor is alignment-indicative on Yamato much, could see this happening whatever Yamato's alignment. in the PM conversations the only people who seem to have actually replied to him are myself and Thrawn, both of whom I have confidence are town anyway. Nothing to see here. He brought up the fact that VE didn't reply to PMs a couple of times but that could just as easily be distancing. Null. tl;dr no smoking guns so I lost interest. | ||

On the simplest possible level, a mafia player is unlikely to put suspicion on other mafia players because he doesn't want them to be lynched, unless he has a reason to do so. Xatalos had no pressing reason to be bussing at that point in time. It's possible that, knowing that, he would instead choose to publicly suspect his scumbuddies to exploit the above logic. This is a more complicated possibility and therefore somewhat less likely, but not by any means impossible. This is a pretty simple answer to a pretty simple question. | ||

Well in that case I suppose the balance of probability shifts towards one of them being mafia. Still though, it's nothing I'd choose as the basis as a read on either of them. | ||

If WoS gives us nothing more he could hang too but I'm less convinced there. Hopefully, if he's town, he plays a little more calmly today. | ||

I correctly guessed that if BC was scum he'd be godfather (so wasn't going to bother checking him) and prolly would have checked Vayne sooner or later. Dunno about Derrida/LSB Banking, but he was at least on the list. | ||

Who knows how this game would have turned out especially if Aquanim had checked Vayne like he said he probably would have. I won't deny that town had the edge (and I certainly won't claim scum played well) but this wasn't over. I'm inclined to think that we'd have caught enough-to-all of the non-godfather scum that the green check on Vayne would have been made null eventually. As for whether we'd have caught him in the end despite that I'm not sure. VE we'd probably have mislynched, gumshoe I'm not so sure. My sketchy math indicated that town had at least two mislynches to spare at the end (depending on how soon they occured), even if one ignores the doctor protect which should have gone through. I'm personally putting it down as an abandoned game in my profile. I reckon town still had the edge but as you say the game wasn't concluded just yet, and debating could-have-beens isn't going to change that. Oh, and no hard feelings by the way justanothertownie - I hope you feel the same way. | ||

Even so, I don't think a warning would be inappropriate, but if LSB feels that the problem was a failure to communicate between himself and Blazinghand rather than Blazinghand breaking the rules per se then I have no objection to the current state of affairs. | ||
