I never randomly generate conversation at the start of any games, and I very rarely talk about setup. You and most other players in the game should know this. Why are you suggesting it as something suspicious? | ||

This game is pretty different to normal because as a general rule I tend to go for unimportant/quiet players on Day 1, and in this game that type of player simply doesn't exist. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=387370¤tpage=6#120 His first vote in that game (2nd or 3rd post in his filter) is unexplained twaddle too. | ||

What it reminds me of is that game I was the mayor and lynched the piss out of Prome D1. He was a lurky little shit that game, but I caught him on something very similar to what I noticed this game. Like I think it's awful that I have to ask this, but did you read my post on him? That being said, I at least dig one of his targets. I asked Foolish about his thoughts on this same matter and what I got is "lol you and Hapa townies" which is definitely NOT what I was after. He answered my question as if he'd read the exchange between us, but left me with a feeling that he hadn't actually read anything at all. If I see one more person say they're going to ignore my posts, I won't be responsible for the outcome. You have been warned. Pretty sure I saw you post in another game rather recently that you were ignoring someone else's posts... taken the ole hypocrite-tea, have we? And as you well know I always read everyone's posts, so yes, you should feel awful for asking that. Bad VE. You're talking about LX, and no it doesn't really feel the same. | ||

If you don't, then you think Prome (1) is silly or (2) gave a false reason and/or (3) doesn't have a reason? If you don't like Prome's explanation and it's (2) or (3), then whether there was a point of contention or not is irrelevant, except that it SHOULD be a point of contention. In my book, making up or having a very weak justification for treating in a different manner two people who do the same thing is a scummy thing (which is the mindset I find myself in at the moment, that yes, what he did was scummy because I don't buy that justification) Just popping in between exercise and dinner, i'll go find kita's stuff a bit later. Mostly 1, maybe a touch of 3? It's just something I don't find very surprising. I've often remarked to Prome that I find his opening to games bad/weak/scummy because he makes senseless accusations/stupid fluff/whatever. Really (and this is to VE mostly I guess) I don't really care so much about him doing that at the start of the game, nor Hapa either, because it's what they do. The difference between here and LX is that on LX it was abundantly clear he was on the backfoot about his RNG plan, here his defence was on the frontfoot (partly *because* he didn't try to overjustify it again and again) and he simply moved on from it. I sincerely wish I found it as interesting as you and VE seem to :p | ||

I'm pretty grey on others, but I haven't finished reading yet (on page 16). Kita seems to be looking better though. I like the fact that his thought process is consistent when going against sandro and myself. I mean that "Don't tell scum about what you are looking for because they will avoid it" when he voted sandro and did that stuff to me. Sorry, why can't mafia do this? | ||

I said I was ok with this explanation originally, but mulling it over it doesn't make much sense to me. Kinda weakly attacks me on a dumb basis, and the defence posts? People of either alignment are gonna make comments about how I play (early) Day 1 Anyways the bolded was one of the questions I was talking about. I find it hard to describe but meh.

Regardless of whether or not sandroba will react to having votes on him, I still think the best way to start off a game is to place votes early on 1-2 targets. If we're discussing players that have recently posted, I'm not really interested in joining you on VE. Would you be willing to support a Wave bandwagon? I find very few of his questions relevant thus far. I don't see what he is looking for. Wave, would you like to explain your approach to the first few hours of the game? Just a really odd way of asking Wave about his lacklustre start, don't you think?

Again, it's giving binary options... like providing a wrong and right answer. None of these by themselves really suggests that much, but there's so many of them. All leading, or weirdly phrased, or kinda obvious questions. Odd. What I actually find suspicious of kita in light of recent posts is how he's attacking gonzaw. gonzaw has been looking pretty town to me lately, he's eager, lots of big posts, he's commenting on a lot of players, he's suspicious of a lot of players with decent grounds, and yet kita is nitpicking at him for his vote on Foolish compared to kita's. That's unnatural and it's not how I'm viewing the game and it doesn't feel right at all. | ||

VE I'm much more inclined to agree with Foolish on. I don't really see anything in his play that I find particularly scummy. He's pretty impetuous and involved gonzaw do you think kita's questioning of you is warranted? No-one seems at all interested and if you aren't then I'm gonna have to rethink this :/ | ||

Now you say that you are suspicious of me for my attack on gonzaw due to the fact that "he's suspicious of a lot of players with decent grounds" Am I missing something or are you not reading the thread marv? gonzaw did make a big post on Holy that I have yet to read, but my attack post occurred at an earlier time. How can your suspicions against me be valid if you've got your timeline mixed up?

His post in Parallel Worlds comes to mind, that he can fake these larger posts as scum: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=387370¤tpage=31#607 I will say though that I agree with a lot of it. Mostly that Prome and WoS's contributions after their early-game posting have fallen off a cliff. There's nothing in their filter besides early-game fluff yet, and looking back on things, their early-game contributions weren't all that impressive. I'm not 100% convinced that either are scum yet, but at this present time, they'd make good lynches for their lack of meaningful contributions to the thread. As for who I'd prefer between Holy/Prome/WoS? Not sure yet, and we have 24 hours to decide atleast. As for other players, I'm currently null on Foolishness, Marv, and Sandro. Town-reads on everyone else. To the bolded: that post in Parallels was a big load of bollocks though. Like he was mafia because everything in the post was bullshit and he didn't call out the genuinely scummy people/defended them. | ||

Also kind of forgot austin was playing this game, I'm eager to see his lynch push of the day. There's something weirdly interesting about the Holy issue. It seems contradictory in a sense. First, okay, yes, he did scummy shit; but that's irrelevant to my point. What happened, is that basically everybody is suspicious of him or accusing him. Not a single soul is defending him. I counted myself, marv, kita, Prome, Hapa and Foo basically saying "yeh he likely scum", and nobody else is defending him, just saying "I dunno" or "maybe I could vote for him". It's weird, in the sense....that if he's scum somebody would defend him, right? But then comes the other interesting part: he has not a single vote on him. I mean, think about it. I basically straight up called him scum. Hapa too. kita now does too. Foo said "Gonzaw's catch on Holyflare's contradiction is really damning and I'm almost ready to pull the trigger just on that". Prome agreed with Hapa and mentioned other stuff. Yet, not a single one of those (myself included) put a vote on him yet. Not only that, not a single one of the other people "not sure" or whatever put a vote on him either. I can imagine 2 scenarios: There is scum in those guys I mention, and there is scum in the guys NOT mentioned (like sandro, austin, WOS). If the guys I mentioned are scum, and Holy town, then surely they have an easy target right? They can park their vote on Holy, and be totally fine since 80% of the thread is against Holy (unless they don't want to be the first ones to do it or some shit). If the other guys I mentioned are scum (or rather, there is scum among them), then wouldn't this also be a good chance to park a vote on Holy? All the town "heavyweights" (who are pushing Holy) agree with a Holy lynch, so if you are austin scum, or WOS scum, or maybe sandro scum, or VE scum, etc, wouldn't you be VERY comfortable parking a vote on him? It's much more easier to pick Holy than to act "clueless town" and basically engage the thread in discussions and the like. So, why is nothing like that happening? I think this can make it more likely Holy is scum, based on how the thread is interacting with him. That would make sense, the townies find him scummy, and the scum are slightly bussing him (since Holy isn't even voted yet), or leaving the door open to bus him (if, for instance, VE or WOS are scum). I'll see what you guys think. I think a Holy lynch might actually be a good D1 lynch....but then again I think a D1 Foo lynch seems good too, and I don't want to "save" a scum Foolishness from today's lynch (if he is indeed scum). I agree with what you said above and below the line ##Vote: Holyflare what now? | ||

Mine read was more based on the lack of anything wrong, rather than an abundance of anything he has done that is helpful. Also, could you justify your Holyflare vote for me with specifics? You mention that you thought gonzaw's points were good. Is that what you're going by or is the vote mostly due to his absence from the thread? I currently don't have a strong preference between sandroba and Holyflare and it seems like sandroba hasn't been inspired to rejoin the thread. I'll vote with you for the time being. ##Unvote ##Vote Holyflare Wave is waffling earnestly at length as I'd expect him to. Although he's only got one scumgame, I'd very much expect him to be more direct than he has been if mafia. I've been suspicious of him in two reasonably recent games for being slow and waffly (##, LXIV) and now it just seems it's how he opens day 1 as town. So maybe not obvious after all. I just think his thought process is transparent. Like he's posted a lot of his thought process, where's his agenda? Mainly with Holy that he seems angrier than was justified. But most of all it's the constant niggling at Hapa, especially with his last post(s) when Hapa was by a large margin the towniest guy in the thread. It's just not natural at all. Tbh I don't make a massive amount of his absence, I believe he'd be here posting as either alignment, so not that alignment indicative. | ||

Austin and sandroba might as well be afk until 3 pages ago, but since coming to the thread both have had strong appearances. I'm okay with them right now because they have brought things to the thread, and it is also obvious that if they continue their activity then they are town. If they keep going afk for long periods of time then start to worry. But I don't feel like that will happen. The following 3 people are all in the ? category. Marvellosity and Holyflare in particular because for all that they have said I don't feel they have really contributed much. Even as I'm writing this I'm thinking back, "what has marvellosity or holyflare done this game", and I cannot remember a single post they have made. That's a bad sign. Anything mafia indicative off the bat? No so much, but then seem to be here without actually being here.

Prom and gonzaw are the ones giving me weird vibes so far, maybe foolishness, but I need more from him before I can tell. So what the fuck is going on here? In the first post, Foolishness is "sandroba's entrance was fine" - I believe this was picked up by multiple people who questioned it - and we never got an answer as far as I can see from Foolish's filter, despite being asked by more than one person (pls don't say i missed it thanks). Also that sandroba is fine as long as he continues posting. sandroba has not continued posting. So... moving on with Foolish's posts, he prefers to lynch me over sandroba on a "general feeling", despite the fact that by his own metric he should really want to be lynching sandroba pretty fucking hard right now. sand asked Foolish (and me T.T) some really random question, and then in the 2nd post follows this up by randomly tacking Foolish on as someone who is "maybe" giving him scumvibes, as an afterthought. Scum/scum? (connection bad blabla, not going to lynch on this). Actually Foolish's posts towards sandroba are exceptionally weak and contradictory in that he's basically not following through on his promises to bust sandroba's ass, which he really should be if sandroba is only fine if he continues posting - and sandroba was only fine in the first place because his posts showed some thought (did they really?)Foolish has kinda rumbled that sand is mafia but... yeah.

It gives you something concrete to hold them accountable to. It doesn't matter that it's a bad idea to tunnel, but now if you don't see EchelonTee following up on this that is a huge hint. Looking through his filter, he doesn't really have any comments on this other than a wishy-washy statement about how he could be mafia but isn't apathetic. Classic mafia overreaction to trying to distance themselves from their team. Even though it isn't conclusive, its a good start. One method would be to push for a sandroba lynch and see if EchelonTee responds like he says he would. | ||

Now I know his attitude has improved on the whole, but the fact that he's taking this game seriously probably does say something about him. So what is it saying, Fool? | ||

How is that nitpicking? Why don't you seem vaguely interested in sandroba and instead only some murmurings? What were his strong posts? The one on Prome? Would you kill sand today instead of Prome? | ||

Now you're claiming that I am, but am not but maybe I was interested and oh here's a quote from Liar Game with some analysis that is only tangentially related to my argument. At least Gonzaw's tunneling has conviction behind it (which is why he's town and you aren't). Show some conviction if you think I'm mafia. I would not bat an eye if sandroba died. The problem is is that Promethelax is mafia and there is solid information on why. What's the information saying sandroba is mafia? oh he's inactive. Well great, welcome to day 1 sandroba. So let me get this straight. 1) sandroba's opening posts are fine/insightful (??) 2) if sandroba continues to post and is active he is town 3) sandroba has not been posting or active, but... it's sandroba! that's the line you've taken, yes? And a) marv might be mafia for not doing anything b) marv points out contradiction on attitude towards sand c) marv is dissimilar to this mafia game so maybe he's town d) marv is mafia because he's attacking me right? | ||

He states that sandroba has had a strong appearance and has brought things to the thread. I don't see it so far. When he rejoined the thread, his re-enterence was extremely vanilla. He asked Foolishness about his WoS, which had already been beaten to death and he gave a softball to marv. His statement about Prom wasn't really anything new that he brought to the thread. I'm always hesitant to go after sandroba because I know a lot of the time he goes long periods of time without contributing much and then bursts into the thread with a great case. However, there is a distinct lack of aggressiveness in his posts and after 30 hours into the game, if he can't be bothered to play, that's on him, not me. -snip- @Foolishness, was there anything in particular that made you eliminate sandroba from lynch consideration? ##Unvote ##Sandroba That's actually a not-bad case against sandroba as it goes for that time of the day. On January 22 2014 23:18 kitaman27 wrote: My vote is on sandroba. I suppose you could call it policy. I'd much rather lynch him now, over an individual who is playing if he isn't going to contribute. I also expect more than one big post if he does return. I hadn't looked into Prom/Holy/yourself since your names are coming up the most often. I will certainly change my vote from sandroba if I find someone that I'm confident about. Possibly even slightly less than confident. I really wish people would vote sooner though, even if they need to change their mind. This seems like it is going towards the path where everyone shows up with their vote an hour or two before the lynch. But it's policy? Don't really think saying that is scummy in particular, but it does devalue his case a little. Also indicates willingness to change his vote off sand.

I really don't like this. It's pretty obvious Prome was just joining in the shenannies, and he'd indicated he was fine with a sand lynch previously. So what's the problem? Did kita really find sand's posts when he came back convincing, incl. the one on Prome, to stay on Prome and then chastise Prome like this? Suspicious. And a muted post-lynch reaction too. I hate how kita approached the lynch + deadline stuff in general, but it's kinda mitigated by the fact that flicking through his filter, there seems to be a genuine crapload of effort in there, just looking at players in depth. Don't think I'd lynch kita over VE atm. Need more Wave/Toad especially also. | ||

The comment about you knowing him so well after you said he looks like he is bullshitting isn't sitting so well either. This is literally the only commentary of suspicion on anyone in the early game for sandroba. And he carries it through to later. As far as I'm aware, sand isn't particularly known for just bussing his team-mates for no reason right out the gate. | ||

sand knows that he's the liability so he's planning on getting lynched day 1 and making his team-mates look good for it. So kita votes him early so he has that nice early vote and makes sarcastic comments about how sandroba usually just afks. but kita can't vote for sand in the end because kita needs credz for later when Prome maybe flips, so kita votes for Prome so that kita and Prome are well distanced. Now Prome doesn't omgus sand because he's playing the "sand can be bad as town card" for cheesecake credit, but in the end joins in the shenannies at the last minute to look good, after sand comes in with a case on Prome so that sand is making a case on Prome who ends up voting for both kita and sand through the day and kita votes for both of them too but has his vote on Prome at the end so there's this massive big circle where none of them can be mafia but they are actually mafia because that's clearly what's going on. | ||

On January 24 2014 04:52 Foolishness wrote: I don't see any reason why all five of the people on sandroba aren't exempt. Yes I know what I said about marvellosity yesterday and that I would lynch him, but as I pointed out in my previous post here it doesn't seem likely for mafia to hop aboard the sandroba bandwagon. Really the most likely scenario of this happening is the mafia bus of sandroba, and given by the votes and who was voting that would probably mean that I'm mafia as well. I suggest reading my post I linked above again because based on the timestamps and who was voting and why I think it's clear that everyone on sandroba is town (as unlikely as that sounds in terms of raw numbers). Any of the people that switched had good reason to keep their vote on me. Moreso, as I pointed out, it is likely that Promethelax is town because mafia were sitting good with myself being the top lynch and second in line (Promethelax) also a town lynch. The overall point here is that the sandroba bandwagon was not initiated by mafia nor exacerbated by mafia. Mafia were sitting pretty and never expected that sort of switch to happen in the last 10 minutes. Furthermore the votes on sandroba were so close (1 minute apart for the last two) that it's very unlikely Promethelax was like, "oh I can vote for my mafia scumbuddy to gain credibility cause he already has the most votes". No, things happened too fast for it to be planned out like that. No scum would have moved to him at the start, no scum would have moved to him during the middle, and no scum would move to him at the end. Based on what happened, I suggest we look at WoS as well as VE. I like the arguments brought up against VE so far and I think a lot of the same thing can be applied to WoS as well. In particular lazily throwing his vote down on me. Here are his posts about me after I started posting in the second half of the day up to the point where he voted for me and left. What is disturbing about this is his wishy-washy behavior about me. He says he doesn't agree with my case on Promethelax, and that's fine in itself, and he also says he wants to "lynch me less". Then before voting for me says that my answers were "good enough" and that they "fit for a lack of a better term", and that it's my "early play that doesn't make sense to me". If my answers are fitting and good enough why are you voting for me? Just cause you don't agree with me on a person being mafia does not make me mafia. I was actually really surprised when he dropped his vote on me, who tells someone that they have good answers but they are still lynching them? What is also interesting is that he's entirely sheeping a read and admitting to it. Admitting to sheeping a read does not exempt you from sheeping a read. Does it seem like he has his own opinion on the matter? Does it seem like he has an idea of who to vote for? No. Look through his posts, he never really accuses anyone, and never says that he thinks person X would be a good lynch (as I said above, he never said that directly about me either). He dances around a lot of people, myself, marvellosity, Promethelax, etc. Sure, he threw his vote down and knew he wasn't going to be here before the deadline, and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is that he had no opinion on who should be lynched before the vote. Also his vote started a landslide, since there were already 2 votes on me, and at the time the next closest persons had 1 vote. This is a critical vote because it started the pile up on me, and when people came back and saw this they started piling on (even though those people piling on are likely town cause they all jumped ship to sandroba). On January 24 2014 04:54 VisceraEyes wrote: In this post, scumFoolish tries to make town believe that scum VE and scum WoS, rather than try and save sandroba somehow, just lazily plop our votes down on Foolish. Because THAT doesn't draw attention to people! VE, was this really your reaction to the spoilered post? | ||

No lie his early posting looked horrible and even worse with a Sand flip but he knows that and looks at the thread and figures he can push through on logic and big posts? I see a scum foolish just lurking himself to death there. It would be a depressing place to be as a scummer. It is one reason I like VE (okay, the only reason I like VE) he has been in the thread and actively talking with us all even if his discussion hasn't been all that productive I see him being more depressed if he is scum. Not that that is a solid reason for a read but it is something I've been keeping in mind. No, this is an error in thought, and one which I made for a couple of cycles quite grievously in the Champions game. Foolish was under the kosh for a long time at the start but consistently made long, effortful posts, and I spoke to him afterwards and it went something along the lines of "well it was a champions game, i had to try" I hard defended him for something like 2 cycles that game and ironically only became suspicious of him after he claimed cop and we lynched his redcheck... why? because the targets he was pushing (and not pushing) were increasingly not making sense. Fool almost looks too scummy to be scum for his actions around the lynch, but actually I don't think Fool minds doing that kind of thing as mafia. Anyway all that is preamble, because I think what Foolish has been saying and doing today *has* largely been making sense, in contrast to the champions game. Maybe he's upped his game but at the moment occam = fool is making good posts because he is town after all, despite early wonkyness. Obviously this isn't "confirmed town" but he's way behind several other players. | ||

WoS's "wonky" posts lately seem to weird me out, it's like he's going crazy or something. I cba to reread his filter again, but he's worth pressuring. This is exactly how I see it. At the moment VE's 'ragequit' feels quite artificial as we have literally just lynched mafia day 1 and nothing anyone has been saying was particularly unfair. If he afks/holds on to this rage it's a free lynch I think, if he comes back and plays then we can actually evaluate more. | ||

I maybe should give it a little more credence because this heuristic is entirely meta-based and I know Prome is good at meta, but where is the proof? For us laypeople, how do I know that Foolishness is better than this? This kind of thing falls into 'stuff that doesn't pop out' territory. I can throw this back at him; I've seen Prome play, and I know he is capable of blasting people away with insane cases. He hasn't done it this game. Scum? (See how easy that was?) I literally don't see the issue with this. I don't see how it's even supposed to be scummy. I use this heuristic regularly, mostly with success (Wave in LXIV was an exception... :p). Several fast examples: Fool in champions game n2/d3 or so, syllogism in Hydra 2 re: wagon forming, Palmar in Rock Band re:me, Palmar in Bureaucracy re:syllogism, sandroba this game re  rome. "I expect x from y as town, and this is getting it all wrong" is something that you can apply to any player, you just obviously have to apply it to different extents. I don't see in any way how this makes someone mafia...On January 24 2014 16:20 WaveofShadow wrote: You know who else nitpicks at obviously stupid things? Foolishness. What's the point this is making?

And it seems very in isolation from how the wagons went down, and how sandroba treated Prome. | ||

I'll have a longer post out today on WoS/VE, but I might not have the time until this evening.

Only lurker Foolishness had the balls to call marv scum this game basically (for marv "not doing anything" and "not saying anything memorable" and the like). With a town VE in this game, would that really happen? VE never mentioned marv at all this game I think (might be wrong though, but cba to check his filter im at work) This is absolutely the money question (to the bolded) As an aside to your 2nd paragraph, VE was pretty muted towards me in LXIV where we were both town. I think he was in a huff that I was talking to rayn so much, although I'm not entirely sure that was the actual reason, but it's what he told me :p Town-VE and Mafia-VE buddy with marv. Town-VE attacks marv if he thinks marv is mafia, and Scum-VE won't attack marv because marv can take him apart. So that shit is kinda neutral. Going back to your first question, I'm gonna ask something to Wave instead: do you think the game-state + how other players have been talking to VE warranted a ragequit? | ||

Obviously not strong evidence at all about anything, but it's interesting. That works both ways though. People who have played with each other a lot have kinda different, maybe more subtle heuristics for reading each other. Stronger townies than VE (Palmar notably) have made large cases on me D1 for apathy, uninvolvement, etc. Don't really see why VE would jump all over me for what I did D1 because what I did D1 isn't actually scummy for me at all. A relevant example is that I don't find VE's switching about massively scummy like most of the rest of you seem to. For me it's the misplaced emotional responses to what's happening in the thread that's getting my goat. | ||

Because I can tell you right now that shit pisses me off (maybe less so because the players who talk about it---Fool/Hapa I believe don't know me that well). My D1 is usually pretty bad. I almost NEVER have strong scumreads on D1 and I'm not going to fake confidence about them if they don't exist. If I'm wishy washy about something in thread it's because I'm not afraid to show the rest of the town my thought processes on a matter, which I would think is fairly obvious that that is what I am attempting to do. I thought your stream of consciousness on day 1 looked quite fine to me. I don't know about these cases of yours now. It's not really the wishy washy... they seem to be zooming in or exaggerating on weird things and disregarding (or looking at weirdly, i.e. sand/Prome) other stuff. It suggests a weird perspective on the game, which could either be coz you're mafia, or you're weird... (pass right now) | ||

Hell even if I'm wrong about VE, you bring yourselves closer to losing if you lynch me. Of course I'm going to fight this, I don't know what you expect from me. Lay down and die so you do nothing productive for the next 2 days and then realize you were wrong? If I really spent a lot of time, I could go find a whole bunch of games where VE "ragequits" as mafia. But you'll just have to take my word for it, because... effort for no reason. | ||

I'm not sure. gonzaw was kinda kidding around earlier, but mafia are in a fucking vile spot so stupidity like this is something I'd countenance. VE+you are pushing weird scumteam theories. Toad thinks Fool is townier than sand voters. kita is oddly on the sidelines. In your favour is that you are here. Whether you're mafia or not, though, I don't get this whole line of anything. Could Prome+sandro be mafia together? Yes, it's possible Is there any particular reason why this should be the case? No, not really. | ||

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 On January 25 2014 12:19 austinmcc wrote: 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 | ||

I don't really get the utility of asking "if the people you think are scum are not scum, which of the people that you think are town are scum?" It's an essentially pointless way of thinking, because you're framing your thoughts into something that you don't actually believe to be the case. Plan = carry on lynching mafia, should mafia stop being lynched then regroup and find out what's happened. I wouldn't expect town OR scum Holy to make the kind of post that you referenced, so I read it as "???" rather than townie or suspicious. | ||

Nobody (except an early vote by Prome and me) voted you. Nobody even discussed you that much. Look at Wave, who we pressured like fuck and called him stupid and retarded. Look at how he even increased his activity, even after that. THAT is how you are supposed to react to pressure as town. Now look at you, you had 1% pressure on you this whole D2. A D2 where we spent most of the time discussing and arguing with Wave, then discussing Toad, then discussing Foolishness. You weren't discussed at all basically. Tell me, what possible reason is there for you to feel demotivated based on that?

Mafia just lost a member already day 1 and it made a whole bunch of people look good in the process, I'd be demotivated as fuck as mafia as well. Much easier than trying to actually fight the lynches, play the demotivated card, because, well, being mafia is probably pretty demotivating right now. | ||

Feeling hungover+vile from last night, so not gonna play/think much until later, after i forced myself to exercise and clear my system out. 1pm and still in dressing gown + bed :p Quick thoughts I picked up while catching up on the thread for now: On January 26 2014 07:40 Foolishness wrote: In terms of actual connections between I haven't done a thorough analysis to say "these two players could be a likely pair". One thing I did take notice of was that in day 1 Kitaman was pushing hard for sandroba (and voted for sandroba twice during the day). I think this says something because why would Kitaman be drawing so much attention to his obviously semi-inactive mafia teammate (especially on day 1, and especially on a player who is known for being inactive as mafia)? Because of this I don't find Kitaman likely to be mafia with sandroba. . Actually this might be redundant because Fool now apparently changed his mind, but sandroba had zero votes (after i moved off anyway) before gonzaw managed to make a really good push on him. Why are you giving this so much credit? On January 26 2014 07:52 gonzaw wrote: Hmmm.... Well.......maybe we should keep the lynch on VE. Toad, I don't get it: VE basically gave up a long time ago, and I doubt he'll "pick up" and start putting effort. Why would you think reading VE will get any easier? What if he keeps doing nothing and saying he's apathetic and doing the stuff he did this D2? Will you say "Let's keep him around till D4, SURELY it'll be easier to read him by then"? I'm risking going into tunnelvision here, but whatever. I agree with gonzaw's questions essentially. I find this "keep VE around for one more day" really out of place, because there is nothing to suggest, at all, that VE's attitude would change. It's so... murky. That's the 2nd thing that feels really wrong in Toad's filter (the other not reading holy's posts..) On January 26 2014 08:15 Toadesstern wrote: can I answer this? Can I answer this? I got a pie-chart: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7sroMdW.png) I gave in to being a dick... And then this gave me pause. Doesn't really matter how right or wrong it is necessarily (@wave), more that it's at least an interesting and possibly townie way of thinking. I dunno. The issue is that VE = town makes Toad = mafia all the more likely. On January 26 2014 13:12 Foolishness wrote: I'm leaving this thread for the next 24 hours or so. I can't think straight because all my posts are being misconstrued and misused. I also can't make my trademark analysis because you guys keep distracting me and are all focused on the wrong things. I don't know how trustworthy my reads are because I have to dedicate 90% of my time to defending myself, instead of typical games where people ignore me and I spend 90% of the time constructing a flawless analysis. I don't have the confidence to push my reads right now because I feel they would just be spammed away, misconstrued or flat out ignored. I hate this Fool, I really do. Not because of the "i'm not going to play now", I get that. The fact that you post this just as Wave is coming into the thread and starting to interact, post, and talk about things. Your main, massive scumread returns and you afk? Really? On January 26 2014 13:59 gonzaw wrote: I get the feeling, Foo's actions regarding Holy, and now Toad at the end of D2 and the start of this N2, are too "obvious". Perhaps in this sense. I mean, I picked up on them, you picked up on them. Foo knows he'll die at some point. He was the leading lynch on 2 days in a row for christ's sake. Doesn't it make sense for Foo and the scum team to frame a townie like that once scum Foo finally gets lynched? Either way, maybe I'm looking too much into it. Maybe, maybe that "obvious" association is true. Maybe scum Foo is indeed buddies with scum Toad, and Foo is just bad at hiding it. . Fool's interactions with the sand lynch were also "too obvious". Do you think Fool connected himself to his two scumbuddies like that? I said before that Fool has no problem blatantly pushing a mafia agenda, but damn. One last thing that I found myself thinking while I was reading the thread and Fool's posts: Is Foolish mafia or is he seeing something in Wave that I'm not seeing anymore and I'm terrible and he's godlike town or something? Either I'm completely missing something with Wave here or something wonky is going on with this push. | ||

a) fool talking about how wave is almost certainly mafia b) wave comes in and starts posting about stuff c) fool immediately decides to leave the thread 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. | ||

Partly because of the players in the game (sensible), partly because most of the time mafia ##bigplays are usually borne out of the situation at hand, not pre-planned/done randomly | ||

And if it's prome/sand/x, it's just ridiculous that sand came into a delicate thread situation bussing Prome. Doesn't make sense. So, since N1 more or less i guess. I'd add that Prome has kinda afked as town before (## mafia) | ||

second=Prome, for full derp points. sandroba bussing Prome for no reason in particular, gonzaw makes a case on sand, austin jumps on (as mafia) thinking that a late switch won't happen and fool will get lynched, prome follows hapa for credit (he'll have seen hapa's vote already) Dunno why i played this game :p | ||

I would say, austin, that some of your last-man-standing type efforts have actually been some of the most unique things I've seen from TL mafia players. So while you may have a sprinkling of a point with your effort thingy, if you're extrapolating from yourself then I'm not sure that's a correct thing to do or expect ^^ I think the only person I've ever see post that many pages in one phase/cycle as mafia is rayn. | ||

Especially with foolishness also being iffy on alignment at this point, but even if we knew he was town, I'd be less certain than Foolishness and unsure how foolishness can be so certain. I just have a love affair with the unpopular opinion, and so the one guy going "no, there are some legitimate reasons WoS could be/is scum" appeals to me, whereas, even if Gonzaw isn't, there HAVE been posts that purely equate WoS's filter length/effort with townieness. it's a lazy way of saying something. gonzaw gave reasons well enough. You could say "he has a massive filter and that is townie purely for effort". Or you can extrapolate a little and say "he has a massive filter and on balance his posting within this have left me feeling pretty good" or "he has a massive filter and his posts feel townie and i can't see him pushing an agenda" Also in a vacuum, 95% of people who post that much in a phase/cycle are town. Now I pulled that figure right out my ass, but you get the idea. Oddly it's actually one of my weaknesses. rayn in ## was one of the few times i lynched a really active mafia, because in general i tend to find filter length a massive town indicator, and early in games I tend to go for quieter, lurkier scumplayers, and later in games i tend not to be alive. | ||

Austin, do you still believe it doesn't really matter much? Marv, you used it as a good argument to think Holy was scum, then backed out when he made that "I sub out" post. After reading what I posted again, do you still think it's valid or not? It's perhaps a little less valid given the lynch and who was attacking him and who is/looks town now. But if you took that apart from anything else, it obviously makes toad/holy look worse, not better. Maybe it's happenstance, maybe it means something, but it's definitely not something that can possibly be construed as town. | ||

Maybe I'll take a look again with this in mind, but it's tough to warrant using the time that way if I'm not getting much return. I don't want to get to the point where I'm spending so much time that this game isn't fun anymore. Database shows 0/19 for town lynches. Fool is 0.5/19, really. I got him "lynched" in Personality 2 on Day 2, other than the fact his role was unlynchable (probably a safe choice, thought the hosts, as Fool never gets lynched as town. Alas). I'm not sure how useful this is though. Short run-down of events was: 1.Fool(town) sets a terrible trap for marv(town) which marv obligingly falls into 2.Fool therefore thinks marv is mafia 3.marv thinks Fool is mafia for using a terrible trap 4.marv&Fool rage at each other while mafia watch on and Fool gets lynched because marv shouts louder I don't think it's that useful because in that case Fool thought his main antagonist was mafia, whereas here there's a few co-antagonists, some of whom at least he thinks are town, apparently. And also I was probably doing a good job of pushing his buttons that game. Fool was pretty calm under pressure in the champions game (as mafia). Going to slowly go over filters today while I'm at work. Normally I just like to play thread-reactive while I'm at work because it's just snippets of time, not sure how useful that is today tho (or who will be around anyways) | ||

So he thinks Sandro is mafia and very clearly states so, but doesn't vote him, he thinks marv is mafia, he thinks Holy is mafia and I guess he was on prome around that time already? That just doesn't make sense to me and yeah like you said he completly and utterly dropped both Holy and Sandro later on like nothing happened. Marv and Prom are understandable because they voted Sand but the Sand and Holy drops are weird. Could you tell me how your attitude towards the same post morphed so remarkably? It literally went from "i don't see how mafia can post this" to "this is a prime example (of something scummy) and this doesn't make sense to me" | ||

Going through Fool next when I can steal a chunk of time anyways. Nothing bad on coming around on anyone, as long as it's for the right reasons. We need to get today right really. At any rate I think it's reasonably obvious from all the holes that people have been poking that Fool's analysis isn't really "flawless". Whether that makes him scum is obviously a different matter. Came out of Toad's filter less sure than I'd like, seems he's gained more impetus as the game went on after a really weak start, but there's a sprinkling of wtf posts in there as well. He needs to answer my questions anyways. | ||

I didn't like what I was seeing last minute and I got super scared it was just town derp switching onto another town). But as I pointed out in my earlier posts what is the mafia doing the entirety of day 1 when I'm accumulating votes? As gonzaw pointed out this would only make sense if the entire mafia team (but myself) is afk (so like, HolyFlare also mafia). Furthermore, if I'm mafia and Promethelax is town, then wtf is up with sandroba's vote 30 minutes before the deadline? His post wasn't a mafia post trying to save his buddy, that was a mafia pushing what he perceived to be a safe lynch to make his team look pretty for the future days after I flip town or Promethelax flips town. I think it is even more apparent through the entirety of day 1 as a whole. Where is my mafia team to save me? Are they just afk (we all know mafia games on TL are never that easy)? The only one trying to deflect votes off of me was me. Sure, kitaman and austin both said I was town, but there was never a hard push. It seemed like their attitude was, "yeah Foolishness is town I'm sure, but I got nothing better to propose". Kitaman's push on Promethelax was mediocre at best (in terms of aggressiveness, not content). I was 100% on my own for all of day 1. Secnario 4 Foolishness is Town Promethelax is Town I brought this up before, but go back and read sandroba's case on Promethelax. After sandroba's vote both Promethelax and I had 3 votes apiece (if I'm not mistaken here). Mafia were very very very happy with the votes at this time. Town Foolishness is under scrutiny and about to get lynched, and second in line is another town who Foolishness (apparently well-known scumhunter) is 100% convinced is mafia. Wow find me a happier mafia team on day 1 in a normal or all-vanilla game. Sandroba was not throwing his vote down to save someone or push for any lynch. Mafia were happy with who was getting lynched that day and there was no need to do anything about it. So these are the two scenarios we're working with effectively. At least in the first scenario, there's some stretching going on there. Specifically to the bolded middle paragraph - if Fool is mafia, then presumably sandroba is going to come in and vote Promethelax over Foolishness. His assertion "His post wasn't a mafia post trying to save his buddy" he uses on the flipside in the 2nd scenario too (see bold). So it kinda comes down a little bit to sandroba's posts around then. What was sand doing? A fake push? A real vote? Given how awful sandroba is at mafia, I don't see much reason why his voting for Prome wasn't "authentic" - I mean, he actually went and found a quote from a different game and everything, for sand that's quite the effort... it seems that the assumptions that Fool is pushing at us collapse around here. Underlined stuff more for irritation value - kita being on prome and sticking there (also despite voting sand before) and Holy being afk. They both fit with a mafia Fool. Annoyingly doesn't get us so far. | ||

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? | ||

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. On January 26 2014 07:58 Foolishness wrote: 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. This is so so wonky | ||

If they were addressed towards austin. you or myself, then I'd wouldn't mind it as much, but if he is still suspicious of gonzaw by day three, then he isn't paying attention. marv, where do you stand on the final two mafia? I feel like you have been on the fence for a while. I know I'm guilty of the same thing, but I feel like another perspective may help. Is austin still on your untouchable list? Same question for austin, is marv still untouchable? The reason I'm asking is because we're potentially once cycle away from lylo. Out of the prom, austin, marv group, it seems like Prom has been the least helpful this game, but I'm still having a tough time thinking how a double bus makes sense with him and sandroba. Yep I'm somewhat fence-sitty right this moment, gonna be until at least after I look at your dense filter (will do that after chess, got work stuffs atm to commit that much time). Fool+Toad is where i'm sitting. Not 100% confident in either so maybe trying to eliminate outliers will help... namely you. I'd still be very surprised if Prome was mafia. If he is then mafia did some #retardplays day 1, and i don't think they're retards. Finding it hard to believe austin could be mafia as well. His paranoia-levels regarding me seem to be pitched just right. We have a history and I think how he's treated me in general is super hard to fake. I've not been frowning when he's been niggling at me. We've had one unfortunate lynch, don't really want to throw away everything I've thought about and believed up until now when there are still actual likely mafia on the table. | ||

If Fool and Wave don't make sense to you as a team, than presumably by mutual exclusion one of them has to be town, but you're still suspicious of both by the looks of things. So which is it? And if kita is the common factor between both of them, why aren't you pushing kita as confirmed mafia? | ||

Toad is attacking Foolishness, while Foolishness wants to bring Toad to lylo. I'll need to see if it seems likely that Toad is pushing the Foolishness lynch with the hopes of winning a 2v1 endgame, if he is town and has a legitimate scum read on Fool, or if he is mafia with another player that we're overlooking. At one point foolishness argues that we shouldn't consider lynching sandroba, while Holy is still around. Do you think it makes sense to attack one inactive scum buddy, while defending the other, which could be a risk if the wrong one flips first? Or is it more likely that he simply doesn't see Holy flipping that cycle after the replacement has been announced so he feels safe doing so? I think we just need to find one mafia and lynch it. Combinations can help to a degree, but we should give less weight to interactions that happened post D1. When mafia gets lynched D1 and a bunch of people look good for it, scum are likely going to have to be unconventional to a degree, and part of that is potentially funky interactions with each other. Just generally wrt replacements, TL towns almost never lynch replacements the phase they replace in. | ||

A scum will have read teh scum qt and, therefore, some form of the thoughts of the man he is replacing and lying unnecessarily is chump play as scum. you literally provide evidence of how it is possible for a mafia player not to have read his predecessor's posts, and then say it screams town. Can you see that? | ||

Even in the games where he is a slow starting townie, he still puts a priority on avoiding the day one mislynch by making it clear that he is town. He has never been mislynched as town, so allowing this to happen in a shadow game would be seem to be out of character. I think it's pretty likely that he hasn't checked back since his last large post, so I'm not sure I'm willing to come to the conclusion that he doesn't care, rather than assuming he isn't around. I do believe that it was PTP2 where he simply disappeared and we flipped him on day 2, leaving us pretty underwhelmed, so it's not out of the question. kita, how do you feel about this line of thinking at this stage of the game? | ||

The issue is, the conclusions are wrong. The voting that I showed makes no sense whatsoever. As for Prome's meta, there are two pretty important things. One is that he's had time issues this game. Now I'm sure if he's mafia blabla he may have just avoided the thread in general, but not like this, and Prome is 100% not the kind of guy that would ever lie about time issues with work. He just isn't. The 2nd, major issue that Fool has (purposefully?) not taken into account is Prome's ego. Prome's ego is large, somewhat justifiably so. This isn't an insult, just an observation. In every game he plays, he considers himself one of the top townies. And he acts like it. Go look at PyP LoL postgame (or there's some other thread where he says it) - he's bigging himself up for being awesome there and he's annoyed that he wasn't given enough credit for it. Now, in relation to this game - yes, his ego is large. But he's not an idiot, and he's well aware that in this field, he is, for a change, one of the smaller fish. He's definitely referenced that in the thread, probably both pre-game and post-game. This will affect his "swagger" quite considerably, in that he looks up to most of the players here, rather than down, like he normally does. So he's more unsure, he's more willing to listen (example that post that Fool quotes where Prome is trusting gonzaw's read on sand). It's a large, missing piece of this read. | ||

Probably because he knows he cannot go 1v1 with me and needs to secure a mislynch on a weaker/easier target (you've been away a butt-ton). We're in a 2 mafia situation, not a 1 mafia, which was running through my head last night - probably Fool just wants to secure one mislynch for whoever his buddy is, rather than going down immediately. In a 1 mafia situation his move would suicidal The stuff on kita was more compelling than the stuff on Holy/toad. e.g. he picked a bunch of quotes from a scumgame where Holy trolled town because he was bored (Back to the basics) rather than scumgames where he tryharded (LXIII or Hogwarts) | ||

Fun fact: Foolish accuses you of leaving me out of your big reads post like a scummy scummer, and he fails to mention austin once in any of his big posts there. Huh! D1: that fits if afk-holy is mafia, doesn't it? | ||

I read your analysis but I'm not convinced cause *insert silly reason here*! That likely means I'm wrong on WoS. Going through the possibilities I felt confident that one of WoS or Promethelax is mafia (and figuring out which one would be the key to figuring out the game). The case on him is incredibly strong though. As I said above, the case on WoS lacks substance even if I can find some things that are bad. With Promethelax there is no doubt and all the proof is right there. "One of WoS or Prome is mafia" | ||

To what end? Just serves to confuse. | ||

Although I've been a little bit tunnelvisioned on toad, which is part of the reason maybe. The post that Prome points out of austin waffling about Fool is kinda nasty. Mostly it's that i think prome is being dumb with that particular bit of reasoning. Tell me what you think, kita. Any issues I have with austin are of a more recent nature, regarding his activity/pushes. He was late to deciding on anything on day 1, which is fine, because he's right,he does always play like that. But he was late committing anything on day 2 as well (VE when VE was basically dead already) and he's late doing anything today. I swear he had the same length of filter as me at some point. | ||

ref: the activity/prome thing. Prome said x and y posts felt off amongst the sea of posts that felt good. As mafia he could just blanketly say "activity = good, yea bros?",... but he's mindful of a couple of posts he's seen still. That he doesn't have to point out if he's scum if he's making a blanket townread on activity. You're painting this as if there's only one plausible narrative | ||

On January 29 2014 05:33 Foolishness wrote: Sure, and I understand that. I didn't really have much room to work with on that front. But on the page after I posted my analysis Marv makes this post: Read this post carefully and you'll realize that there's something wrong. This is not a Marv town post. In particular I feel that his first three sentences show that he's mafia. He says: "They look fine. Mostly everything looks fine. The issue is, the conclusions are wrong." How can the analysis be right but the conclusions be wrong? That's saying, "oh Foolishness you're right, Promethelax is not playing his town game, definitely is pushing a mafia agenda, does not care about the town lynches and only his survival, he has the really bad vote posts which shows that he's pushing an agenda....but he's town". What?!? That's not a town way of thinking at all. If a town looks at my post about Promethelax and disagrees with it he's going to point out the flaws in my logic: "actually his voting could have been from a town perspective because X and Y" or "that Promethelax post could have come from town Promethelax because look at his other town games where he did something similar". Something to that effect. A town isn't going to look at that and be like, "yup, Foolishness does perfect analysis except he drew the wrong conclusions". Even so, why is Marv going out of his way to defend Promethelax? The thoughts don't line up. I'd guess he'd start making connections between Promethelax and other players ("well I know I'm town and Foolishness's analysis looks pretty good so gotta find the remaining mafia") or just defend himself ("well I know I'm town and Foolishness is implying that I'm the last mafia. I can prove my innocence so something is wrong here"). Perhaps these are wifom arguments, but Marv's line of thinking is not consistent. And to address what he said here, sure it's a good point to make about Promethelax's ego. But that can only explain so much. That doesn't address why he's not interested in the town lynches, why he made a strange list without incriminating anyone (and why Marv wasn't on that list). Second, if Promethelax does have an ego I'd expect him to vote for who he thinks is mafia above all instead of going with Gonzaw. This is the townmarviest post of all townmarvy posts actually. What you're doing is accusing me of defending someone I don't think is scum from someone I think is scum. How is that even an argument? You know very well that arguments can look good but come to the wrong conclusion or miss out vital pieces of evidence. It's stretching my credulity that you're even suggesting that this doesn't happen quite a lot, especially with good players. Things can be logical, things can make sense, but usually there is more than one possible explanation. In this case, you missed out a large piece of the puzzle, re: Prome's attitude towards this game and his ego. The fact you're trying to paint that as *me* being suspicious because I'm correctly poking holes in your case is ridiculous. Essentially this entire post is totally incorrect. | ||

Although considering his towncases and mafiacases have flipped exactly in this game I don't even know what anymore. KISS says foolishness should have been lynched twice so we lynch him. To some degree I also want to say KISS says the effort he put in with his essays makes him town but the WAY in which those were done makes me say no. Vote stays Usually Foolish is quite happy to tell people in some detail why he thinks people are town. But he's done so at such great length and at the expense of making a case against me. That's just not right. Foolish didn't have a chance of mislynching Promethelax today if he also included a case against me that I would tear apart. It's really that simple. | ||

Let's be honest, you're marvellosity, and you're known for lynching scum, bitches, and VE. When you're town you make it happen, you don't sit around and wait for someone else to take up the reins.

When he is up against two townies in me and foolishness you need to make sure you look good from his flip because it will come d1 or d2. So quick switching around deadline when I had clearly had foolish as more scummy and Hapa wasn't present was an easy way to do that. Scum expected not to get sand lynched d1 but to look good from having voted him but Hapa and I went over in the last two minutes and scum could not change their votes, they were stuck on sand. The middle votes were scummy. On top of that the scum shots have all been into the group of players who voted sand to reinforce the idea that everyone on that vote was town. Shooting outside of it would have been fine to eliminate players like Kita who had no suspicion on him and is a better analyst than Gonzaw. But they needed the idea of fool's to take hold. Voting mafia on day 1 definitely scummy. Got it. To the bold: so if I'm mafia, I'm making a massive gamble that neither Hapa NOR Prome NOR VE (in your scenario) will move over after what sand had posted? That's a bit of a stretch isn't it? | ||

Snippets from the case: I see this as being a scum player trying to change his day1 town play for something else and excusing it in the thread unnecessarily. This post so gloriously misunderstands what I said that it cannot come from town. Austin fluffs hard for a while d1 when Fool and Sand are being brought up a lot. He spends most of day one talking about how I am scum and about random fluff like marv's love of tentacles. One of those things is productive, the other is a lot of effort put into looking casual. You can have issues with the case, but not because he wasn't looking individually at you or your alignment, that's wrong. One interesting thing about the case is that he goes from This is just a side note but if Fool is scum this post is scum as shit. It is very directly trying to remove discussion from Fool. I can hear the chainsaw revving in the background. to This seems to point against a fool/sand/austin team. I don't see fool (a not bad player) lumping his two scum budddies together in this way. This is simply not how a scum refers to all of their team during d1 when two scum players are under suspicion. I'm quite curious to hear how you view the 2 quotes as a thought process or whatever, austin. | ||

And yeah, I never came back with a firm read on you. Mainly because I'd start looking at you and not really find what I was looking for (whatever that was) I'm not really sure what you're suggesting my angle is here... keeping my options open or something? when most people see you as much townier than I was seeing you? That doesn't really work. Fool's towncase really finally firmed up my read on you. Did a really cursory check of what he suggested and he made strong points. At the time I thought he included the towncase on you to look legit while he pushed other bad arguments on Prome and Toad. | ||

Again with the stuff on Holy/Toad, it seemed like he was purposefully picking out trolly comments from back to the basics to try to make holy look town here, even though holy had properly tryharded in other scumgames like lxiii and hogwarts. i couldn't find those 'holes' in the kita analysis. Maybe just because I know holy and prome better than i know kita, i don't know. | ||

The biggest reason that I was hesitant on my suspicion of Prom after pushing him on day one was the 3-3 vote by sandroba. I saw marv mention that sandroba wasn't a player that likes to bus and I kinda assumed it was true as I didn't spend the time to verify this was true. I spent time looking at how sandroba addresses scum buddies at the beginning of the game with the "@" symbol and didn't come to any conclusions, but I never looked at his early game voting record. I'm pretty upset with myself considering what I have found: sandroba and L are scum buddies this game. Provides no case, but votes for his scum buddy sinani. Scum buddies with Fishball in a 2 player game. Votes him on day one without much of a case and shows he is willing to take risks early. Day one vote against his scum buddy. No case, limited time from sandroba. There is a dt check on RoL here, but votes are coming in on the dt instead, yet sandroba votes his buddy. Look at sandroba's explanation for his day two bus on his scum buddy annul. This sounds incredibly similar to this game. Not only is sandroba willing to bus early, he actually does it more often than not! | ||

His, imo, unreasonably strong townread on Toad/Holy based on almost nothing. His attack on Prome for a really weird reason that still no-one has agreed with, and yet for some reason he's particularly suspicious of me for not agreeing with it. The fact he's always come in super-late to push any lynch, on every single day so far. His 100% absurd attack on me for when I said "vote your strongest read" when in context it was fucking obvious I was talking about day 3. I clarified and he continued the attack on the same basis. It's totally absurd that he's really trying to catch me out for being "hypocritical" for day 1 reads and voting compared to day 3 actions. Anyways, tell me what you're seeing that makes you confident in his alignment, plox. | ||

I just don't fully buy marv's suspicions and his vote swapping on D1 at the deadline and marv making a comment about voting your strongest scum suspect triggers me poking around that. It's not 1:1, with "but foolishness was your strongest suspect and yet you voted sandroba." That's not valid. But i think that marv's D1 is wonky and his strongest suspect comment set me off. This is nonsensical. | ||

How does the bolded relate to the last part of the sentence just before? Why is it scummy anyway? imo the only thing potentially scummy about the vote is that he left it so late in the cycle to get biking. Particularly the really weak justification for austin+Fool not being mafia together is unbelievably convenient now that Fool has flipped town. | ||

If we end up lynching Prome and he's mafia + you're town, we're gonna be in trouble at LYLO if you won't consider that your funky shit can't be wrong sometimes. The ironic thing being if you're mafia it makes Toad more likely to be town. And yes, I know you do this kinda funky stuff as town. For 95%+ of players a defence of someone like you've been doing reeks of "I know his alignment", but with you, not so much. | ||

Really (and this is to VE mostly I guess) I don't really care so much about him doing that at the start of the game, nor Hapa either, because it's what they do. The difference between here and LX is that on LX it was abundantly clear he was on the backfoot about his RNG plan, here his defence was on the frontfoot (partly *because* he didn't try to overjustify it again and again) and he simply moved on from it. I sincerely wish I found it as interesting as you and VE seem to :p Mentioned it once without explanation before this post, explained it here. | ||

Based on the posts I'm more willing to admit that I could be wrong about Prome, and yes the alternatives are looking better. The thing about Prome is that there's no POP to his posts - when he's town, when he thinks he's found something suspicious something clicks and his confidence shoots up and you can see it in his posts. I didn't get that feeling when he was posting about you. But again, I'm not sure how much of it is my own bias speaking. Foolishness/Sandroba/HolyFlare are three targets who are, in my opinion, well equipped to prove their worth D1 if they're town. That none of them has been able to do this is troubling to me. Been checking through VE's filter for Prome thoughts. Possibly this is the strongest thing in there. I defended Prome on ego partly because I was totally convinced Fool was pushing for a mislynch, but this stuff nonetheless remains true. "there's no POP" is really an excellent description. | ||

It doesn't make it impossible for sure, but it makes me frown thinking about it. It would be Prome's best play of the game I think.

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. | ||

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. | ||

He has never stuck his neck out and has never been in the middle of pushing lynches. He allowed the town to push the lynch and never had a leading role in anything. Fool day 3? Pretty neck-sticky-outy. His reads have not evolved on any player in this game he had Foolishness as 100% confirmed town and yet was happy to lynch him. Please find where i said Fool was 100% confirmed town? In fact Foolish is the perfect example of an evolving read this game. This is bullshittery. How would you characterise your play this game, Prome? | ||

Thinking of it now it seems way unlikely that a scum player would give that read early, flip flop on it entirely and then flip flop back again. Ugh was way too tunneled and angry with Foolishness---at Toad too to some degree. I gotta stop doing that when people make bullshit cases on me, even if it is a good way to get people to see me as town. Yea, when I went back over Fool... yesterday? earlier? I realised this too. He went from massive Prome = mafia to massive Prome = town to massive Prome = mafia. Such categorical switches I blame kita tbf. | ||

Couple things, mainly directed at austin: your methodology for townreading Toad *was* silly, and it was kinda frustrating to me you were scumreading me for saying it was silly :p Also there was literally nothing wrong with lazily calling Wave town purely for effort. On skype Mig said to me "and Wave is blatantly town now after posting so much D2". It doesn't actually need explaining any further than that. Sure you *could* talk about why the actual content made him town, but that's unnecessary. It's only really necessary when you're making the suggestion that someone active isn't making great posts (like me). Thanks Artanis! Great hosting and was patient with my incessant moaning, especially early on... | ||

It's extremely true. Anyways, town wasn't bad, it was a gg. Townies made mistakes but mafia (hello) influenced thread opinion and sentiment to foster these mistakes. DP, I can already tell, is one of those observers who doesn't grasp that looking in is quite different from being in the middle of something, and so calls everyone bad in a reasonably unwarranted fashion. | ||

But that question itself was something he knew the answer to, and the answer had nothing to do with anything. As either alignment I'd believe what I was typing, so it's not alignment-indicative of me, and it's not alignment-indicative to marv about Toad (whether he's town OR scum), so it meant nothing. But it wasn't a joke or mocking, it felt like he was legitimately asking this absolutely useless question. No, it was sarcasm  | ||

No matter how convinced I was that marv was scum, I was also convinced on prome. I didn't care a ton about pushing marv super hard because I thought we had scum already. Heck, when trying to see things in a different light, I kept creating prome + x teams, to double check and see if marv was wrong even though I thought he was scum. I never sat down and did marv + x teams to see if some other team magically had everything make sense. I think staying alive while LOOKING scummy to some people, and having some people convinced of your scumminess, is one of the more difficult aspects of playing scum. No matter how scummy you look, you can often just paint someone else scummier, or slightly push town towards another target. Mm. Didn't have a vote on me all game I think? What more could I have done... | ||

Foolish wrote Finding mafia means building a case against a person, not just looking out for one specific thing they do or don't do. See, this is interesting. syllogism said to me before (or maybe not to me, but I read it) that he can have all the analysis he wants, but if he can't point to something in very particular that he finds off, he doesn't have confidence in the lynch.

I think instead of looking at someone's behavior you should look at the logic behind their reads. Not for me it isn't, sadly Foolish wrote Even players who aren't big on it still use it to reinforce their ideas. Marvellosity is not a big analysis player, but he'll still back up his claims and use the information to achieve his goal with his posting. I use meta a lot, but a lot of it is feels for the player i've played with. I'll diligently research a player I don't know so well. The thing is, for my high volume of posting I do as town, I do a tonne of work behind the scenes that I don't bring into the thread. Fool spends paragraphs and paragraphs explaining meta and behaviour, which is fine, I'll make my decision based on my legwork and present it in a few lines. | ||
