That's more or less kita's question.
I don't think it's a scum-marv comment. He's not scum because he said that. He's scum for general feel, for the brainz question, for his willingness to sit in the backseat this game EVEN AS THE GAME GOES TO ENDGAME (look at foolishness's posts on kita/toad/prome, kita's post on Sandroba's willingness to bus, and compare that to anything that marv has put forth). That comment just made me go look harder at his D1 voting, and also just...fight with him about it but it's not a town/scum battleground. He just got really bristly and I don't like the bristliness, or the fact that there's no ground given by either of us over whether the comment allows for a D3/D1 difference.
It's a long time back, but in Movie Mini marv gets to mid/middish game and goes nuts trying to hunt a scum roleblocker because that's the only way for town to POSSIBLY win. In champions he has a burst of activity in late midgame, trying to get things on the right track for town. Even when marv isn't LEADING, marv wants to SOLVE the game.
We're one day from endgame and marv still wasn't even convinced on prome, for the longest time today, and he's still not voting and doesn't appear to be fully convinced. Foolishness and Kita put in legwork, I ... opened LX in another tab and have not looked at it much, and marv is just content to fret over who might or might not be scum. Except not really, because he's not taking any stances, he's not burst of activity-ing. He's just sort of here to say that maybe some folks are mafia.

If I were simply to lynch 2 individuals right now, it would be Prome and Toad. I just need to get my head around this:

Why is that hard to do as a scumteam?
That's an easy townread, and says more about a scum Prome than it does about a mafia Holy/Toad. If anything it makes Holy's theoretical scumplay more impressive to set Prome up for that easy townread.

As for the rest, yup, I get it and have gotten it all game. It's not a really far cry from marv's towngame though but maybe this is what was enough to set off my radar earlier in the game?
I also have to go look at a couple of specific points during the game where I said 'This is town-marv,' and re-evaluate to see if the reason for those was good enough.

This post is grossly unfair. I believed Foolish was mafia (and was the first not to dally after his epic posts) and the game was built around that. And I pushed it and I got Foolish lynched like I wanted, that was to be my crowning glory this game, and I damn well made sure it happened. Except he was town and everything fell around me and how I viewed the game simply didn't really exist anymore.
Pretty much I don't feel bad for being a bit unsure today in light of this. Pretty sure you're being pretty bad and wrong with this whole post because of this.

As far as what I think about the toad slot?
NUMBER ONE THOUGHT - HE'S TOWN SO I DON'T CARE
NUMBER TWO THOUGHT - His response to me asking what he found scummy about marv is VERY townie to me. Why? The final scum NEEDS a mislynch. He NKs someone, he needs a mislynch between the remaining two. The final scum needs to be painting people as scummy, and CONVINCINGLY so. All he has to do is convince Guy A that Guy B is scum, at least more than Guy B can convince Guy A that final scum is scum.
Toad, when asked what mafia agenda (i hated using agendas and I'm using agenda as plural here) marv has pushed, doesn't make anything up. He doesn't go FIND places where marv has encouraged votes on townies, taken mafia stances, whatever whatever. He doesn't make any attempt to bolster a case against marv. He just says marv has been pushing him and THAT is a scummy agenda. I find toad town. If he's mafia, he just has to keep me convinced you or marv is mafia. And he put ZERO effort into painting marv as mafia. That is, to me, the opposite of what mafia would have responded to that question with. If he were mafia, he had a chance to make his endgame SLIGHTLY easier, and he utterly failed to take it in a dismissive way.
NUMBER THREE THOUGHT - HOLY CRAP HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEFT IN THE GAME WE ARE 1 DAY FROM ENDGAME AND HE'S JUST...BARELY FOLLOWING ALONG? HOW CAN THIS BE?
NUMBER FOUR THOUGHT - As mentioned before, the times I've seen scum toad, he's gotten himself caught EARLY, because he does silly things or he's too outspoken. The scumToad that I know LOVES to cause chaos, be very visible, essentially sac himself to fuck with the thread. In Chrono Trigger he was very visible early. In Pokemon PTP he was apparently visible early, I replaced into the game after he'd already died, but he was a D1 or D2 death iirc.
Toad here is NOT causing chaos. He's doing...very little. And he's not the last guy left. Up until recently, toad was more suspicious than prome. If THEY are a mafia team together, I would except mafia Toad to be unable to resist the desire to just fuck with the thread, cause chaos, and try to set prome up. It's not like everyone isn't slightly suspicious of everyone in this game, it would have taken very little work to just push everyone and everything. But instead, he's just passive and often a non-factor.
That's not the scumtoad I know.

It just reads as a very unnatural way to treat a scumbuddy. "so deeply misunderstands how to play mafia" - I can't explain very well how that doesn't sound scum-scum, if you don't see what i'm thinking about that then you're just not going to see. kita said it was a good observation at the time when I made it, so I wasn't alone in thinking that at any rate.

But there's notably someone who else who had viewed the game as 'all wrong' from the start, and he started to re-evaluate early on. Hell even I started to re-evaluate Foolishness before he was lynched, because that is what townies do. I'm not saying everything austin pointed out here screams scum, but there are problems with your play here, and those problems ARE fair. Especially in considering how a lot of the competing thoughts and opinions were shut down that maybe would have made 'the way you view the game' a little less rigid and thus prevent things from 'falling down around you.'

I'm not really sure if I should be frustrated that I'm being read as possible scum or flattered that people think I can play like this as scum tbh.

In this case, I think the statementOn January 29 2014 06:25 marvellosity wrote:
no austin, you should be lynching the absolute strongest read, period.
is a blanket statement. Not a D3 vs D1 thing, no room for error, "Are you lynching? If yes, lynch strongest read."
He is saying this applies on D3 but not D1.
ALL I REALLY WANT IS FOR HIM TO SAY "YUP, MY COMMENT SHOULD BE AMENDED TO SAY THAT THIS APPLIES FROM D2/D3 ONWARDS
It's not even about votes or anything. It's just an absolutely stupid fight over whether marv believes in the statement as written, or in that statement as amended.

But instead, he's just passive and often a non-factor. That's not the scumtoad I know.
Unless extremely conclusive (like that brilliant kita-->sandroba find recently) I don't like looking to meta so I'm not really taking into account how 'scumtoad usually plays the game.' I think the kind of play that would benefit the scumteam the most right now is exactly what they've been doing; have one active member to do the legwork (ie marv/you/me) and have one sit back in the shadows and avoid shit (toad/prome). Now obviously the prevailing theory is marv/prome so this works nicely, but Toad and any other one of us could technically fit just as well, depending on whose viewpoint we're standing at. I don't think Toad NEEDS to push an 'agenda' at this point, and even then, pushing an agenda (if marv is in fact scum) doesn't seem to be doing the scumteam much good anyway. Not fantastic reasons imo...what's the one where he doesn't know how many people are left?

I don't think it's a scum-marv comment. He's not scum because he said that. He's scum for general feel, for the brainz question, for his willingness to sit in the backseat this game EVEN AS THE GAME GOES TO ENDGAME (look at foolishness's posts on kita/toad/prome, kita's post on Sandroba's willingness to bus, and compare that to anything that marv has put forth). That comment just made me go look harder at his D1 voting, and also just...fight with him about it but it's not a town/scum battleground. He just got really bristly and I don't like the bristliness, or the fact that there's no ground given by either of us over whether the comment allows for a D3/D1 difference.
It's a long time back, but in Movie Mini marv gets to mid/middish game and goes nuts trying to hunt a scum roleblocker because that's the only way for town to POSSIBLY win. In champions he has a burst of activity in late midgame, trying to get things on the right track for town. Even when marv isn't LEADING, marv wants to SOLVE the game.
We're one day from endgame and marv still wasn't even convinced on prome, for the longest time today, and he's still not voting and doesn't appear to be fully convinced. Foolishness and Kita put in legwork, I ... opened LX in another tab and have not looked at it much, and marv is just content to fret over who might or might not be scum. Except not really, because he's not taking any stances, he's not burst of activity-ing. He's just sort of here to say that maybe some folks are mafia.
This post is grossly unfair. I believed Foolish was mafia (and was the first not to dally after his epic posts) and the game was built around that. And I pushed it and I got Foolish lynched like I wanted, that was to be my crowning glory this game, and I damn well made sure it happened. Except he was town and everything fell around me and how I viewed the game simply didn't really exist anymore. Pretty much I don't feel bad for being a bit unsure today in light of this. Pretty sure you're being pretty bad and wrong with this whole post because of this. But there's notably someone who else who had viewed the game as 'all wrong' from the start, and he started to re-evaluate early on. Hell even I started to re-evaluate Foolishness before he was lynched, because that is what townies do. I'm not saying everything austin pointed out here screams scum, but there are problems with your play here, and those problems ARE fair. Especially in considering how a lot of the competing thoughts and opinions were shut down that maybe would have made 'the way you view the game' a little less rigid and thus prevent things from 'falling down around you.'
Shrug. I was tunnelled. Is that 'good'? In hindsight, no. It would have been good if he flipped mafia though. I'm simply not scum because i played less than optimally during a lynch and what that resulted in for me.

....then why continue to push it? >.< As for the rest, yup, I get it and have gotten it all game. It's not a really far cry from marv's towngame though but maybe this is what was enough to set off my radar earlier in the game? I also have to go look at a couple of specific points during the game where I said 'This is town-marv,' and re-evaluate to see if the reason for those was good enough. I push it because we seem to fight a bunch and we both always want to be right. In this case, I think the statement Show nested quote +On January 29 2014 06:25 marvellosity wrote:
no austin, you should be lynching the absolute strongest read, period. is a blanket statement. Not a D3 vs D1 thing, no room for error, "Are you lynching? If yes, lynch strongest read." He is saying this applies on D3 but not D1. ALL I REALLY WANT IS FOR HIM TO SAY "YUP, MY COMMENT SHOULD BE AMENDED TO SAY THAT THIS APPLIES FROM D2/D3 ONWARDS It's not even about votes or anything. It's just an absolutely stupid fight over whether marv believes in the statement as written, or in that statement as amended.
So this has nothing to do with marv's alignment then? Did it have something to do with his alignment at some point? Marv sure seems to think the argument has a thread-relevant point beyond being a stupid fight.

btw, brilliant austin.
toad is town because "he's not doing anything and he's not pushing a case on his mafiaread in any way". Wonderful.

Oh and as far as 'he's town so you don't care,' austin, what if it's me you and Toad at LYLO?
You sure as hell better care then.

Nah marv, I see his point. I was pretty tempted to be lazy as fuck for the rest of the day, not even bother doing my read and waiting until Prome flips red to start working. It's not like anything particularly interesting is going to happen before then.
