Not disappeared, but I've felt somewhat spammy this cycle, even though I know a lot of my posts are rehashing thoughts.

I think my reads are in thread, I think we have a good lynch, I think part of D5 will depend on the NK, and I have lots of super secret plans that I can't let scum know about.

marv, do you have a magical likelihood scale? Even if it's not a real response to kita on toad/myself, do you have just a generic

Remember how I thought people just equating activity/effort with townieness was a lazy way of swapping reads on you, WoS? Like how prome says you're town for activity after you post?

I think it's between VE and Foolishness for me. Wave seems like he is putting enough effort into the game to warrant surviving at least one cycle longer than these two. I haven't seen a compelling argument against Toad yet. Holy was scummy null for me, but that was off a limited amount of posts. I'm mostly in wait and see mode on him.

I'm on the fence with VE right now. A lot of the things he is doing I can see from a town or mafia VE. As of right now, Foolishness is the best lynch in my opinion.

You haven't seen anything compelling against toad? What about gonzaw and my prodding of him?

Do you agree with any of toad's case on me? Why or why not?

(Goes for you too austin)
I still kinda like Toad. Liked HF. Don't care that Toad didn't read HF's filter. Wish there was more current contribution, because I think a lot of the early stuff has to be discounted given his lack of feel for the time right before lynch.

As far as his case on you, I think it starts off in a ... townie way I guess? For whatever reason, I view him as accusing you SOLELY because of your absence at lynch time, the 20 minute stuff, to be a townie-ish thing? That's a weak ass reason to vote someone over anyone and anything else in the game.

He explicitly states, with his vote on you and having said you're his favorite lynch, that he's still trying to get through your filter (vote early on, reading filter recently). I don't LOVE the idea of mafia straight up saying that they're going through the filter of a guy AFTER voting him.

So, right now I was townie on HF, and I'm now looking kinda townie on Toad. I think the majority of his early posts on you are not convincing of anything because they're based on little and he explicitly hasn't read you.

Overall, I find his case terribly unconvincing, but I think it comes from the right place.

Your reasons for finding Toad towny in this post remind me of the reasons why I find VE towny.
What say you to that?

The only thing I find weird from Wave today. Weird way of kinda admitting that his reasons for finding VE town are wonky? Meh. Agree with gonzaw though, his filter is remarkable today, can not lynch

Worryingly the two other posts I noted down because I agreed with them were from austin

I'm not seeing the connection, tbh.

If you mean because you're townie on VE for conspiracy theories, I don't think that translates. Toad is less conspiracy theory and more...jumping straight into things, convinced, and PUSHING them.

I think, honestly, otherwise, you don't actually have good reasons to think VE is town. I think it relies very very heavily on both talking about sandroba, except that you are both saying the same FACTS. Sandroba being a lazy scum is known. Apparently sandroba not caring about pressure is KNOWN. You're not both taking in information and spitting out these same weird thoughts or anything, you're mostly just both saying "the sun is hot."

You have a minor point on VE's ragequitting, how it's honest, more likely town, but you ask whether he ragequits as scum. If you believe the answers to that question (marv said yes, dunno if anyone else chimed in), then...all that ragequit jazz is null now.

alktjghaelkteahtea. Whatever. I don't see why you think the reasoning on the two are similar. And I don't think you have good points about VE. Sry.

This isn't to dig at Wave, this is more to comment on VE. More in a sec

Where are you on VE, austin?
I think VE, more than anyone else today, has slipped past a lot of attention.

I haven't been able to chat with him. A bunch of his time in thread today was pork chop discussion or discussion of Toad reading HF's filter.

The only recent positive for him is that he spent some time N1/D2 attacking prome. Like, out of any target mafia wants to go after, he takes a guy that comes off looking pretty good after the lynch, RATHER than attacking foolishness when given an opening, rather than attacking you, wos, toad. It's an odd choice.

Otherwise, he has not scumhunted today. PART of that is people shutting down his suspects. PART of that is him scumhunting by presenting teams or relying on votes. Unsure on how to weight those, but, to me, the contributions he has presented today do not make him town.

This is why I want to actually get a chance to speak with him.

austin much better when not wifflewaffling about stupid stuff and actually talking about stuff to do with alignments.

Really at the moment it's something like:

gonzaw/marv/austin/prome - very sexually attractive
wave - becoming increasingly sexually attractive by sheer dint of effort and activity apart from anything else, cba to talk at length because no reason
kita - also becoming increasingly attractive, to a lesser extent. I went back to read his large vote analysis post because at the time I wasn't convinced why for whatever reason. It looks better the 2nd time round. People have kinda taken the piss out of his combinatrics, but he seems to be trying to eliminate unlikely teams within that post, which in turn eliminates possible mislynches if he's mafia. I would like you to answer kita (because it wasn't abundantly clear to me) how you've arrived at Prome as "town". In your analyis post it seemed like you were basically coming around to the idea that Prome wasn't mafia anymore, but without being particularly firm about it as far as I could tell. Did your vote analysis + other people's comments firm up your town read on Prome? Or what? Foolishness case also quite compelling, didn't read too forced, made some sense, so...
foolish - was kinda sexually attractive, now in fear of beer goggles. I keep reading his filter because people keep talking about him, and I keep understanding what people are saying, but all his posts now read so natural and not-bad to me :/ I'm shit-scared that i'm wrong but meeeeeh. i'm good enough and, frankly, i have the most recent game experience (last year or two) with foolish out of anyone here. for whatever reason gonzaw is the person i'm most likely to listen to on gonzaw because he seems to approach his alignment in a similar way to me. and gonzaw is starting to think he's scummy... bleh

toad - quite ugly. Honestly I'm not understanding any of the rationale put forth by austin on why the slot is particularly townie. Don't get the Holyflare "brainz" thing. I understand to a more limited extent Prome's point on D1 that Holy couldn't be "that terrible" with something he posted if he were scummy, but still meh. I also cannot get over the idea of someone reading through a thread and missing out someone's posts, even as an aid to "save time" because ultimately it doesn't save much time at the time, it doesn't save time in the long run, and it makes other people's posts harder to understand. I can't imagine doing it myself. The case on Wave is weak and again I do not understand austin's rationale of "it's weak in a townie way". No, it's just weak. He's one of my two mafia currently. would kill
VE - also quite ugly. I'm so over the woe is me routine. He came back to the thread posting yesterday and I was all like "yay, maybe he's town!" but then he kinda just wandered around listlessly and bitched at stuff. This feels like one of those times someone is being allowed to slip under the radar while people distract themselves with more shiny things. Remember how suspicious people were of VE right post-flip? And yet somehow now, there's nothing... what's warranted this, actually? Nothing...

The one thing I'm basically worried is happening with the way things have been going is that Foolish = town, and he's right that lynching into that list would actually win the game for town. So... there has to be a push by mafia (if that would win the game) to lynch outside of that list, and Foolish is the target. In particular this makes me quite paranoid of kita. Nonetheless I think we should go for the best of both worlds and find the MOST suspicious people from Fool's list and lynch them and worry about things if we haven't won by then.

In other words, VE/Toad mafia, let's kill them.

oh PS, there's also a non-zero chance I won't be around for deadline today, social thingies. Fair warning too

It's something I'll probably check out later but it feels like, in general, there's been a lack of engagement with you on his behalf.

Which I have noticed, specifically called him on and tried to see if we could do something about.

As for filter length, as people have said quantity != quality but I'd like to think there's at least a little bit in there. It pisses me off that anyone can say I'm not trying. As either alignment.

There's not a whole lot else that I'm finding super mega interesting, except for marv's scumread on Foolishness into his vote. Here is why:

(1) Marv, on D2 and N2, appears to mainly be worried about Foolishness BECAUSE of Foolishness's scumread on WoS and his unwillingness to relent from that read (remember, this is after WoS posts a bunch, and most of thread goes from scummy to townie on WoS)

No, WoS turn around on Promethelax is not congruent with a town mindset, and this is what I meant by he's ignoring key information about the lynch. That is a mafia agenda to push, he doesn't want to bring light to the things the day 1 votes say (such as the 5 people voting for sandroba should be confirmed town).

Fool, what's the point in Wave doing this as mafia when literally noone agreed with him and it just made him stick out from the crowd?

Let me clarify again that I am perfectly happy with VE getting lynched. I just have a strong read on WoS and VE's frustration makes sense as a town frame of mind.

When you say things like, "VE didn't push a lynch day 1, he wasn't accomplishing anything with his posts, he has since been not contributing" I have nothing to say except, "yep, I agree". I am not deflecting off his lynch, I just think WoS is slightly better and will tell us more. If you guys are convinced that VE needs to die now and that WoS is town I will gladly ablige; I've even admitted I could be wrong on both accounts.

Didn't you want to lynch Holy before sandroba? Has Toad's play changed your mind on him or is it just that WoS's and VE's play is just much worse since then?

Yes I did. I thought Holy was mafia based on his posts and his replacement posts. After the lynch I went back and reread them and thought "okay I can see him as town saying these things even if they are suspect". As I said earlier I go back and forth on his posts.

Toad seems like he's trying to figure things out, and even if I don't agree with his arguments he's doing things for the town and VE is not. I can't argue against VE here. I'm very confident about my read on WoS at this point, it will be reevaluated for the following day because he should be lynched asap.

Oops! Wrong answer.

This is even wonkier though, seems like Fool is threatening gonzaw, or gonzaw is suspicious, or something? But then immediately following these posts Fool is treating gonzaw as town again.
What do you make of this Wave? (or anyone about who cares to read)

None of Fool's recent posting reads like it comes from a townie, from his intransigence on the Wave read (along with the rationale), to the being ok but not ok but ok with the VE lynch, to being sure about Wave but saying he might be wrong, to the weird threats to gonzaw. I am frowning.


Now, marv also grabs a kita quote about Foolishness's lack of concern for his town image this game, but it appears that a lot of the reason marv gravitates towards a scumFool read is his WoS read, sureness of that read, and him not wanting to back off it.

In terms of REASONS that marv has been scummy on Foolishness through D2/N2/start of D3, the MAIN thing that I see in marv's filter is Foolishness's WoS read is wrong, he's being too stubborn about it. I KNOW that I don't have 18 posts from marv saying this, but if you check marv's filter for talk about WoS and Foolishness on D2/N2, you see that WoS is townie now because of activity, and Foolishness is mafia mainly because of his refusal to be townie on WoS after WoS's, N2/D2.


(2) marv drops his foolishness vote early D3 (we're 2 hours into D3 here) -

kita, the problem is that it's almost impossible to tell (especially with toad) from that whether he's a townie with a natural evolution (i agree, it feels that way) or if mafia decided they need to bus Fool at some point in the past and he's been carefully working his way up to it ever since. Second scenario requires one more assumption than the first. But in the larger picture it means a larger assumption that, like you say, something has gone horribly wrong.

I think the sum of it is, we need to kill Fool today, so let's do it. He's easily the most suspicious.

##Vote: Foolishness


(3) Within a couple minutes, Foolishness drops his big posts. In his Q and A, you see explanations for why he didn't write a big post on wave,
When I saw your name appear in the thread, I was expecting a Nobel-Prize winning essay on why WaveOfShadow is mafia...but I don't see his name, what gives?
Put simply, I don't think he's mafia and I don't want to lynch him. If I'm going to be brutally honest, I still have this nagging doubt in my mind that he's mafia but the evidence shows that that's not who the town should be lynching. He doesn't fit the bill.
What do you have to say about *insert player here*'s reads this game (either on you or *insert player here*)?
I think the evidence I've brought forth should explain a lot about who is reading who this game and why. I've been called out for giving shitty reasons on why Kita and/or Toad is mafia (with WoS thrown in there as well) rightfully so.
You've completely done a 180 on us and changed up everything you've been thinking this game! I think you look like a desperate mafia pulling a last ditch attempt to survive a lynch!
Yes, this is a reasonable concern (though in my opinion I could just convince you all to lynch WoS if that was the case, but that's a meaningless argument). This is why I urge you all to check out my analysis above on the three players and clearing your mind when trying to figure out this game. I was definitely looking in all the wrong places the past two days and the pieces weren't fitting together. I think that if you look at what I've given you above and how I was able to deduce these things everything should start clicking.
Now, he has posts later in D3 about why WoS is town, but for now, all we see is that he WAS very sure of scumWoS on D2, then changed his mind, presents WoS as town, has different suspects.

WHY ARE THESE THREE THINGS IMPORTANT?
Because marv has a scumread on Foolishness. One of marv's major issue, if not THE major issue (the only one he talks about during D2/N2 basically), is Foolishness's read on WoS.

Foolishness, at the start of D3, entirely swaps his read on WoS. He gives some reasoning for it, says he was wrong, drops WoS as a top scum suspect. Says it's prome + mystery 2nd scum.

But marv, throughout D3, does not even reference this change in Foolishness's WoS read once. He doesn't note that Foolishness has changed his read and is now slightly townier. He doesn't say Foolishness is scummier for getting called out on his WoS read, getting caught, and then trying to change his mind. Marv entirely ignores that his biggest scumread and the guy he was voting just potentially undermined a big reason why marv was scummy on him, and really the only recent reason marv has given.

I think this further shows why marv is mafia. If he is town, he has a LEGITIMATE scumread on Foolishness for doing stuff. Foolishness just did something that is SUPER relevant to that read. A townmarv incorporates that into his read, does SOMETHING with it, whether it makes Foolishness more townie or more scummy, it MATTERS. The fact that marv does not reference Foolishness's change in his WoS read AT ALL indicates that marv's read on Foolishness isn't real. He's got a reason for Foolishness to be scum, he's got a vote, he wants to mislynch Foolishness and it looks like it's going to happen, nothing more needed.

I want to be super sure, and also I dunno how much time I've got during night phase.

You can call me town based on effort, but you can't actually believe it. Except that you can, because if I put in a bunch of effort AND don't say that I'm mafia, then I'm town. Apart from trying to figure out how to beat Crossfire's super-mega-voltron role, I didn't put in tons of work into AFTER I'd friggin' claimed in that game. I had to work hard to convince gonzaw and Crossfire.

PLUS I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT AND IF THEY'D LYNCHED ME THEY WOULD HAVE LOST AND HAD NO CHANCE OF WINNING SO IT WAS BETTER FOR THEM TO LYNCH ME.

Even when I'm mafia, my effort is TO HELP TOWN.

Anyway, wave. You're feeling lazy, there's a thing for you to look at. You were the one that Foolishness had the scum --> townread on.

Did YOUR opinion of Foolishness change when he swapped his stance on you? Either good or bad, did you adjust your read? Did it gives you pause about his scumminess?

See parallel worlds and champion's game on the other site. Bureaucracy too. He can make the big posts, and sometimes it's real analysis on scumbuddies (palmar in bureaucracy i remember), sometimes faked stuff.

Do you see what I'm getting at though? I can't really find anything in marv's filter during D2/N2 about why Foolishness is scum, except that he's really picking up on Foolishness's read on you. In fact, marv has a comment wondering why everyone is suddenly suspicious of Foolishness (after I keep bugging people not to call him 100% town), right as he's gotten OFF of foolishness and is now townier onto him (due to Foolishness posting about the votes and why Prome, who was scummy, now probably isn't)

(**SIDE NOTE** Marv is scummy on Foolishness and only comes around after Foolishness posts his vote analysis on why prome is town. After that, Marv suddenly likes him again)

But he does NOTHING on D3 with Foolishness's change in read. Something super relevant to his scumread on Foolishness happened, and he just doesn't seem to care.
Fe fi fo fum.

Guys, this is cute and all but it is a serious waste of your time. This game is over in 2.5 hours.

WoS I'm not bothering to try to convince you because Toad refuses to be convinced, it isn't worth anyone's time for me to try.

I'm heading out soon and just wanted to say: GG scum, sorry I didn't fight harder I played poorly and I'm pretty embarrassed about it. I wrote a poem about it for my shadow though which I'd like to share.

I had such a nice post,
it had links, it had quotes
I wrote up some facts
and I wrote up some things.
The town it would have made king.
I hit back on my browser unthinking.
Now in bed straight whiskey I'm drinking.
I'm undressed and depressed
because at this game of mafia I'm stinking.

So yeah, well played scum guys, sorry I sucked town guys. I really think the Foolishness lynch was terrible and sealed town's fate, looking back on it that day as well as the previous one were essentially wasted, we as a town got nothing out of those days and I feel really bad about my part in those them. Foolishness, VE, I'm sorry to both of you you really shouldn't have been lynched. I played poorly and this loss is on my shoulders.

You're absolutely certain that it's me and Toad who are town?
I still haven't heard much on myself from like...anyone as to why I'm town. Maybe Foolishness.
I wrote stuff, you just didn't like that I should have found it earlier or been more convinced by it earlier, and you don't like that I responded hypothetically to gonzaw.

Certain enough. You could be scum with marv but you have played a good game and my gut has you as town for some things I can't quite put into words. In terms of things that I can pin point the way you talked about VE looks really genuine and damn silly from a scum perspective.
Do you want to vote marv today?

Yeah yeah. But I'm finding it highly highly highly unlikely I change anything, which means marv today means a quicker concession or loss or something.

You have D1 anti-foolishness posts due to sandroba and generally feeling that Foolishness isn't active/townie/whatever.

But I promise you I had your filter open for a while this morning, and I'll bet if you start looking after Foolishness changes his mind on Promethelax, you're gonna find your suspicions on him are because of his WoS read.

There were plenty of other things that didn't mesh up. Such as Fool having the read on Wave, but conveniently disappearing from the thread right as Wave arrived posting walls. Obviously that was just Fool doing his thang, but in the context it looked horrendous. Wasn't only me that thought so either.
I assume there was more to it. And yeah, other people thought he was scummy. But:

Foolishness is doing A, and is mafia for that
Foolishness stops doing A, starts doing -A
Silence

Is smellz. Whether you had other reasons or not. Whether you had other reasons you didn't put in thread or not. Whether other people found him scummy or not. You specifically pointed out a thing he was doing, he did the entire opposite of that thing, and you continued to vote him and call him scummy with absolutely no mention of him doing the opposite of a thing you'd called him out on.

I'll just note that, in reading over GSL Mini III, where marv and iamp were a scumteam, QT has a couple bits where marv wants iamp to interact in thread, or where iamp is wondering whether they should chat about x.

Nono. You're not mafia because of that. Most mafia teams should be chatting and interacting. But some don't. Just noting that you know to chat with scumbuddies and remind them of this.

I never said anywhere in there that 'because Prome and marv are talking it means one of them isn't scum.'
I'm just saying trying to look at it from an unbiased POV is difficult given the game state and general opinion right now.

Austin, can you actually go look at those pages for me and see if you can see anything that I don't? (I think it starts on 111 or so?)
Toad you too.
Marv, well, I wish I could ask you to do the same but I suppose it kind of defeats the purpose.

Yeah

Stuff I find ---

If you want to push for mafia Toad, you've got prome kinda shading Toad as mafia with his four square question.

There's a boatload of chatter between them over 3-4 pages. Foolishness, me. It's a LOT of back and forth if they're teammates. It's also right after Foolishness posts that Prome is mafia. Real talk possible. HOLY CRAP THE GAME IS RUINED NOW WE NEED BIG PLAYS is possible.

It's a lot of interaction, which I see as a good thing. Will admit that. It doesn't have the same quality that I read into HF/gonzaw D1 interaction, where it looks like HF is really pushing Gonzaw, trying to figure out Gonzaw and trying to figure out Foolishness.

Trying to see if all the chatter GOES anywhere. Playful bit on reading after getting home, oh i feel asleep, "does foolishness use meta?"

lots of little questions that DON'T feel like they go anywhere. Who's the third scum? Are you concerned by austin? Would fool trust toad to be the LYLO guy? Did toad get left out of four square? It doesn't...neither is asking the other for anything very difficult, neither feels very worried about the other AT ALL. Entirely different from current thread, there are no shifty eyes betwixt them.

Like, there's the playful bit with "oddly content", like 6-7 posts of that, into the #s.

I dunno. Overall I think it points to NOT a marv/prome team? If it's orchestrated, it's done pretty well. If it were more hard hitting I'd be a lot more convinced, but so much is idle or just "hey, what do you think about spinach?" "i like spinach, what do you think about Jupiter?"


Prome trying to get me to play conspiracy theory is also interesting if you want to push a prome/toad team. If fool and sandroba are scum together, who is the third. I refuse to answer toad, and i THINK he's pushing for me to say toad.

If he's setting up "oh, foolishness is town so toad, the likeliest buddy of foolishness, looks better now" then...meh. He knows foolishness won't be town. And toad's alignment wouldn't be based on his interactions with foolishness alone. AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY CONSPIRACY THEORY WHERE MARV IS THE SNEAKY SNAKE THIRD MAFIA. HE CALLS IT INTERESTING, ASKS WHY MARV PUSHES SANDROBA/FOOLISHNESS ASSUMING TOWN PROME, AND THEN DOES NOTHING MORE.

Nope. Just thought the word montpelier and I liked it with a hastag.

"Hashtag Montpelier" just kind of rolls off the tongue in a neat way
