I tremble and quake in terror. I am rippled with convulsing spasms of fear, a fear so raw and primal that I know it without having ever felt it before. In the ancient days of Man, beyond living memory, past the abyss of time spanning between our earliest ancestors and the development of writing, we knew the Void, and we know this fear. Even now, so many generations and millennia removed, I can sense it. It is in my nature, in the very core of my being, to fear him. I fear him and even now I can sense who he is. I can only be motivated to share this story with you, my fingers trembling, my heart pounding, because the only thing scarier than this is facing it alone. If nothing else, remember his name:

Same.
Let's say this game fills today/tomorrow. When will it start? I will have to leave for a conference in 10-11 days and probably won't have time/internet then. So maybe I should not join this.


If I were i your position, I would /replace, and only /in at the end of the conference. If the game fills up and starts while you're gone, then you've made the right move! If the game doesn't fill up and start while you're gone, you can /in, and hey, you've made the right move. Win win.

Hey so before we go all pant-head here I will upgrade to sock-head and push for an RNG lynch

So here's what happens

1) you all will follow me since I'm the best player here

2) I will lynch the guy via RNG as determined by this post (the one you're reading right now)'s post count modulo 32. Since so many people are posting at once on TL it's impossible for us to know what's going down. I've done this before. It works.

For RNG, this post will be used for generating a random lynch. The # in the upper left corner can be right-clicked and used to access the absolute TL post # for this post. That number mod 9 is the random lynch. 1 =Oats, 2 = rayn, etc, all the way up to 8 = holyflare and 0 = sloosh.

The reason we use the absolute TL post number is that posts are constantly being made, so the number is truly random. We turn it into a number 1-9 by taking that number mod 9. What is mod? effectively, it's the remainder after division. For example. 10 mod 9 = 1. 11 mod 9 = 2. 18 mod 9 = 0. 19 mod 9 = 1. and so on.

Basically, this generates a random number 1 through 9. I am in favor of the random lynch (though am somewhat interested in a policy lynch today as well-- TL does not do this enough. I will start off by voting for the random lynched based on THIS POST.


In this case,
1 = WoS
2 = yellow
3 = kosh
4 = kush

and so on

all the way up to...
31 = layabout
0 = MZ

(since a multiple of 32 modulo 32 is 0, not 31).

Look, I know you guys all hate RNG lynch but with 4 factions there's gonna be way more scum than usual, right? This means RNG has a much higher chance than usual of hitting scum. This is possibly the best time EVER for using RNg. Everyone lynch OdinofPergo, because statistically speaking he is scum.

Every town should 100% follow this.
But the game is not fun this way, so fuck it.

I was going to yell at you for the RNG nonsense but then I realized that you're right and even if you're scum, your plan has a decent chance of hitting other scum.

HOWEVER, this is my first game in forever so fuck yo RNG, I'm gonna choose my vote the old fashioned way.


Or Instead of the old fashioned homeopathic non-vaccinated way, you could use your vote in the scientifically correct way and vote OdinofPergo!

Why does more factions = more scum? Wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio of scum/all players balanced?


As a member of the balance team, I can assure you that a multifactional game supports more scum than a non-multifactional game. There are a number of reasons for this. Part of it is that, say, in a 2-scum-faction game, half of the scum will push on each other for reasons unrelated to bussing, because they can't distinguish between "scum on the other scum team" and "town". They'll even shoot into each other sometimes. Town loses the ability to make some associative tells, but the amount of crosstalk from scum accidentally pushing or shooting each other makes up for it.

2+2 scum with each group having 1 kp will never be as effective as 4 scum with 2 kp working together at killing town.

That being said, you never mentioned any real objection to the concept of RNG, you just questioned my estimate of scum in this game. I can only assume you didn't object to actual RNG because you think it would be fine if more factions = more scum. So, now that I've shown that more factions = more scum, you'll vote odin, yes?

seriously though, the story you're going with is "I realized you're right, and even if you're scum, your plan will probably work and we'll probably hit scum... but I'm not gonna follow your plan, because of ill-defind reasons"?

As you're probably well aware, I've never RNGed, never supported RNG, and never will. Draw your own conclusions :p


I know you disagree with me philosophically about the usefulness of RNG, I just figured maybe in a massively multifactional setup you might find it alluring. Well, next time then!

Actually yeah, I'm not even gonna argue with you. I play mafia for fun and us all picking an RNG then sitting back and seeing what happens doesn't seem fun to me. Plus I at least have enough faith in my own deduction and reasoning skills to think that I have just as good a chance of finding scum with analysis as RNG does.


Ok, so that's a reason. I will note though that historically, TL towns tend not to statistically significantly outperform RNG on D1. I'm not proposing RNG for no reason; I think lynching OdinofPergo is our best chance today. If nothing else, I guarantee that pulling this off will have two results

1) it will be legendary
2) it will cause a massive shitstorm because everyone hates RNG. this shitstorm will give us lots of things to base reads off of for D2

So far:
Marv-- has done nothing for my peepee. Usually as town he either makes it hard because he's obviously town or I think he's obviously mafia. Considering a shot. His push on Xat is pretty awful to, like there's little reason to expect Xat to flip scum on that basis.

Bunnies--I have a decent read on her in video. She's not done anything that makes me think she's town. She's also refusing to try to correctly read Banks as anything. That's really weird and her last post was awful.

Austin--he has yet to intercede to ABBA on behalf of my shot. That's pretty clearly mafia aligned. I'm very tempted to shoot him but he promised me cuddles and to carry me over the finish line.

Kush--probably town unfortunately.

Koshi--possibly town but I expected a more fun/playful response to my "are you naked" question. That's odd to me.

Wave--I'm soul reading my wubbybumpkins town.

Steveling--maybe town. Idk I think he's decentish as scum but he doesn't really strike me as the active chipper I want to do stuff type.

HF--hasn't commented on how he's the best ever and that we should policy lynch me before I get to shoot. Like that's pretty odd if he's town I would've expected some actual dickwaging in this trolling phase.

BH-- nothing he's done makes me think he's a good player. I thought he was awful last game and he was mafia. Same vibes here. He just looks like he's trash to be disposed of.

So I'm probably shooting within my scum pool tonight if you all don't sheep me. I'd much rather get info from a good lynch first though.


I want to point out: video mafia and forum mafia are two different aspects of mafia. Two: Just because I can read Banks well in video mafia, does not mean it transfers to forum. Also, he hasn't spoken too much for me to have a great read on him.

But some things I noticed: his vote on tamburini and his trying to get me to vote with him. These are reasons that I used when I told Jamp that he was one of the ones I was watching for as him being mafia from the first couple of pages.


so, 27nb, what are your thoughts on the possibility of an RNG lynch on OdinofPergo today? You haven't weighed in on my RNG posts.

I would need some kind of hard evindence that there are multiple scum factions in this game to RNG lynch, since those additional factions could be third parties and that wouldn't necessarily increase the scum numbers.


The definition of factions pretty much means they have to be scum aligned. Otherwise we'd just call them "blues". Even if they were like 3p factions or whatever, we'd still want them dead, right?

Also nice goalpost moving.

1. "do more factions = more scum? wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio... balanced?" as a question implies that you, like me, expected all or most of the factions to be scum factions.

2. but then "additional factions could be third parties..." later on is what you say after I show solve #1.

So, what's the deal? Why the resistance on the odinofpergo lynch???

You do realise, though, that Steve's semi-ridiculous behaviour makes it less likely he's mafia though, yes? (or traditional mafia. I'm just gonna say town for town and mafia for all the other factions until something tells me otherwise)

despite me being scum in the game he was talking about we literally only won because he was doing what he was doing as town and was an easy mislynch so i'm just going to get rid of him until he learns


Yes you literally only won because of my bad play as town right?
Not because NO ONE, LITERALLY NO ONE VOTED FOR A SCUM IN ALL 3 DAYS.

Oh wait, except me.


^^^ case in point


anyway bh if you take out newbie games towns recently have a 40%+ chance of finding mafia day 1 by lynching and so it's obv far better not to rng


And if this game had no newbies in it, I'd take your statistics under advisement. Also in games like 7 town 2 scum (which it ypically use) you'd expect a 25% chance of getting scum anyways, 40% is pretty close.

I was going to yell at you for the RNG nonsense but then I realized that you're right and even if you're scum, your plan has a decent chance of hitting other scum.

HOWEVER, this is my first game in forever so fuck yo RNG, I'm gonna choose my vote the old fashioned way.


Or Instead of the old fashioned homeopathic non-vaccinated way, you could use your vote in the scientifically correct way and vote OdinofPergo!

Vaccines cause autism tho

/s


seriously though, the story you're going with is "I realized you're right, and even if you're scum, your plan will probably work and we'll probably hit scum... but I'm not gonna follow your plan, because of ill-defind reasons"?

Actually yeah, I'm not even gonna argue with you. I play mafia for fun and us all picking an RNG then sitting back and seeing what happens doesn't seem fun to me. Plus I at least have enough faith in my own deduction and reasoning skills to think that I have just as good a chance of finding scum with analysis as RNG does.


Ok, so that's a reason. I will note though that historically, TL towns tend not to statistically significantly outperform RNG on D1. I'm not proposing RNG for no reason; I think lynching OdinofPergo is our best chance today. If nothing else, I guarantee that pulling this off will have two results

1) it will be legendary
2) it will cause a massive shitstorm because everyone hates RNG. this shitstorm will give us lots of things to base reads off of for D2


What reads do you hope to garner? Like based upon the lynch of Odin? Like who defends/pushes him? Why not just do that on someone who actually does something scummy. I think that I'd rather lose to being bad that win to RNG... I'm not playing a slot machine I'm playing mafia. RNG is bad and you should feel bad.


Why not someone else? Because RNG. RNG is the best and I feel good.

Yo so anyone else wanna sheep me on this guy?

@BH RE Shitstorm: personally I hate shitstorms because they scare away townies and allow scum to control the agenda. Yes it provides an environment for scumslips to happen but my concern is that they get swamped and it takes literally days of ingame time to fully flesh out what happened, at which time scum will be in total control of the game. I understand where you're coming from but I think the costs outweigh the benefits.


You merely adopted the shitstorm. I was born in it. I didn't see a quiet D1 until I was an adult.

Why does more factions = more scum? Wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio of scum/all players balanced?


As a member of the balance team, I can assure you that a multifactional game supports more scum than a non-multifactional game. There are a number of reasons for this. Part of it is that, say, in a 2-scum-faction game, half of the scum will push on each other for reasons unrelated to bussing, because they can't distinguish between "scum on the other scum team" and "town". They'll even shoot into each other sometimes. Town loses the ability to make some associative tells, but the amount of crosstalk from scum accidentally pushing or shooting each other makes up for it.

2+2 scum with each group having 1 kp will never be as effective as 4 scum with 2 kp working together at killing town.

That being said, you never mentioned any real objection to the concept of RNG, you just questioned my estimate of scum in this game. I can only assume you didn't object to actual RNG because you think it would be fine if more factions = more scum. So, now that I've shown that more factions = more scum, you'll vote odin, yes?

I would need some kind of hard evindence that there are multiple scum factions in this game to RNG lynch, since those additional factions could be third parties and that wouldn't necessarily increase the scum numbers.


The definition of factions pretty much means they have to be scum aligned. Otherwise we'd just call them "blues". Even if they were like 3p factions or whatever, we'd still want them dead, right?

Also nice goalpost moving.

1. "do more factions = more scum? wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio... balanced?" as a question implies that you, like me, expected all or most of the factions to be scum factions.

2. but then "additional factions could be third parties..." later on is what you say after I show solve #1.

So, what's the deal? Why the resistance on the odinofpergo lynch???


From OP: "Town-Wincondition: Eliminate all Factions, which endanger town!"

Not necessarily all scum aligned?


Good point, also it doesn't matter, we need to kill them all. So are you on board, jampidampi? or are you busy thinking of another excuse not to lynch your scumbuddy odin?

If you add in newbie games, we just lynch town/any claimed power roles. ezpz


And yeah I was about to post that, this is retarded by HF.


wtf is your problem??

bh wants to rng which is usually a 25% chance to mafia
normal lynching by poe has a 40%+ chance to hit mafia

i'm the retard right


Ok, but also this game is different. Pay attention to what i'm saying about RNG. This game is massively multifactional. If we RNg, we're much more likely to hit scum. Even moreso, not all the scum will be aligned in resisting an RNG onto one of their members. Also, this is a big game with a bunch of different players, we can't expect the kind of coordination needed to get a good lynch off D1. It's the PERFECT time for RNG.

I don't see how my wording implies I thought all or most of the factions to be scum factions. My orginal assumption was that there would be only one scum faction, since that is how it usually is.


ok, now that you know according to the op all factions threatening town have to be eliminated, are you ready to lynch odin?

Obviously you don't really believe in the strategy. If someone thinks they're not better than RNG then they should just vote and leave the thread and come back in 48 hours and see how they did. But you clearly said you think you're a good player aka better than RNG so you don't even believe in an RNG lynch.

And I'm going to vote on who I think is scummy. Hopefully its right but even if its wrong then I will be happy that I had some influence over it and not just randomness Last time I'm commenting on this btw as its silly and unhelpful to town.


I'm the best player in TL Mafia and I believe in RNG lynch because it's objectively the best tool. The definition of being a good player is basically using RNG lynch, in a setup like this. You don't just vote randomly and leave the thread, because most people don't do RNG lynch. You make sure everyone else follows you too. By your logic, if I have a scumread on someone, I should just vote them and leave the thread, my job is done.

Typical poof.

Laugh as in, I' made a good point? You have to admit, Odin hasn't done anything of note, and since there's so many scum factions, there's actually a solid chance he's scum. Good RNG lynch, yes?

I did weigh in already.
You know very well it's not going to pick up enough support. Even that time I actively pushed for it and we almost got there it ended up failing in the end. I know it's your thing BH but 'tis old already IMO.

I'll tell you what. If you can convince enough people that a lynch seems even remotely likely, you'll have my axe.


Sounds good. I'll ping you again once I have a few more votes.

seriously though, the story you're going with is "I realized you're right, and even if you're scum, your plan will probably work and we'll probably hit scum... but I'm not gonna follow your plan, because of ill-defind reasons"?

Actually yeah, I'm not even gonna argue with you. I play mafia for fun and us all picking an RNG then sitting back and seeing what happens doesn't seem fun to me. Plus I at least have enough faith in my own deduction and reasoning skills to think that I have just as good a chance of finding scum with analysis as RNG does.


Ok, so that's a reason. I will note though that historically, TL towns tend not to statistically significantly outperform RNG on D1. I'm not proposing RNG for no reason; I think lynching OdinofPergo is our best chance today. If nothing else, I guarantee that pulling this off will have two results

1) it will be legendary
2) it will cause a massive shitstorm because everyone hates RNG. this shitstorm will give us lots of things to base reads off of for D2


What reads do you hope to garner? Like based upon the lynch of Odin? Like who defends/pushes him? Why not just do that on someone who actually does something scummy. I think that I'd rather lose to being bad that win to RNG... I'm not playing a slot machine I'm playing mafia. RNG is bad and you should feel bad.


Why not someone else? Because RNG. RNG is the best and I feel good.



Obviously you don't really believe in the strategy. If someone thinks they're not better than RNG then they should just vote and leave the thread and come back in 48 hours and see how they did. But you clearly said you think you're a good player aka better than RNG so you don't even believe in an RNG lynch.

And I'm going to vote on who I think is scummy. Hopefully its right but even if its wrong then I will be happy that I had some influence over it and not just randomness Last time I'm commenting on this btw as its silly and unhelpful to town.


I'm the best player in TL Mafia and I believe in RNG lynch because it's objectively the best tool. The definition of being a good player is basically using RNG lynch, in a setup like this. You don't just vote randomly and leave the thread, because most people don't do RNG lynch. You make sure everyone else follows you too. By your logic, if I have a scumread on someone, I should just vote them and leave the thread, my job is done.

Typical poof.



So lets say we had an RNG shot and a lynch. BUT you could only base one on RNG. Who do you find scummy in this thread so far that you would have to way in on for the non-RNG portion?


We don't have an RNg shot and a lynch though, we just have a lynch. Let's RNG it.

Jampi could easily be scum for the "filler posts" reason, but you gotta admit, that's a pretty weak reason to vote someone D1. It might _feel_ better than RNG lynching, but I think RNG lynching is more likely to hit scum. Don't you?

Look, I know you guys all hate RNG lynch but with 4 factions there's gonna be way more scum than usual, right? This means RNG has a much higher chance than usual of hitting scum. This is possibly the best time EVER for using RNg. Everyone lynch OdinofPergo, because statistically speaking he is scum.

Why does more factions = more scum? Wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio of scum/all players balanced?


As a member of the balance team, I can assure you that a multifactional game supports more scum than a non-multifactional game. There are a number of reasons for this. Part of it is that, say, in a 2-scum-faction game, half of the scum will push on each other for reasons unrelated to bussing, because they can't distinguish between "scum on the other scum team" and "town". They'll even shoot into each other sometimes. Town loses the ability to make some associative tells, but the amount of crosstalk from scum accidentally pushing or shooting each other makes up for it.

2+2 scum with each group having 1 kp will never be as effective as 4 scum with 2 kp working together at killing town.

That being said, you never mentioned any real objection to the concept of RNG, you just questioned my estimate of scum in this game. I can only assume you didn't object to actual RNG because you think it would be fine if more factions = more scum. So, now that I've shown that more factions = more scum, you'll vote odin, yes?

I would need some kind of hard evindence that there are multiple scum factions in this game to RNG lynch, since those additional factions could be third parties and that wouldn't necessarily increase the scum numbers.


The definition of factions pretty much means they have to be scum aligned. Otherwise we'd just call them "blues". Even if they were like 3p factions or whatever, we'd still want them dead, right?

Also nice goalpost moving.

1. "do more factions = more scum? wouldn't scum numbers stay the same to keep the ratio... balanced?" as a question implies that you, like me, expected all or most of the factions to be scum factions.

2. but then "additional factions could be third parties..." later on is what you say after I show solve #1.

So, what's the deal? Why the resistance on the odinofpergo lynch???


From OP: "Town-Wincondition: Eliminate all Factions, which endanger town!"

Not necessarily all scum aligned?


Thanks for the support, but you haven't explicitly stated what your thoughts are on the Odinofpergo lynch are. Now that the tide is turning against you, this might be your only chance to do so. So what's the deal?


In short; I'm okay with either or yours, or Yellow's method (if followed fully)

From some of the responses so far; Yellow's method wouldn't work due to enough unwilling players, which when votes would be spread wide not tall would nullify any effect of the random voting. Yours I'm okay with. Obviously oop hasn't posted yet, so he'll probably be pretty salty, and it would require probably.. 14 of the players signing on to it?

My first post that the steve carell posting guy got upset with was saying im shit at day 1's with 9 players (newbie games). I'll stand by this, regardless of whether he thinks its scummy or not. For me, RNG is about as good as me picking a d1 lynch target.


The problem with Yellow's method is it requires everyone's participation to be truly random. Scum could just see where the rngs are landing, then either join or not join to push the votes onto or off of people. As long as some poeple don't participate or paritcipate selectively, it's not truly random.

Mine, on the other hand, has been 100% random. How many people participate affects is success rate, but not whether or not it is random. That's the advantage to my method. Even better, since this is a plurality lynch game, not a majority lynch game, we don't even need like 16 players. All we need is more than anyone else. The fact that a lynch needs votes is not a good argument, that's a general coutnerargument to like, the concept of a lynch, not to RNG lynching.

Join me. Let us be glorious together.

anyway bh if you take out newbie games towns recently have a 40%+ chance of finding mafia day 1 by lynching and so it's obv far better not to rng


And if this game had no newbies in it, I'd take your statistics under advisement. Also in games like 7 town 2 scum (which it ypically use) you'd expect a 25% chance of getting scum anyways, 40% is pretty close.

You've seen me play mafia before bunnies on video mafia I come out and just take over and do silly stuff because like BH here I think its very hard for me to get lynched as either alignment... clearly he is quite certain of himself and his playstyle so I think someone who has his persona might do something like this regardless of alignment because he can.

You always brag about how great you are at the game, but i never see you hunting scum. You are always creating boring mechanics-drama around yourself.


Look, in this game, unlike many games, it's actually like objectively the right move to RNG lynch. There are multiple factions, they wont' be able to coordinate to shut it down (and probably won't even want to stop it, since it's more likely to hit a different faction), and there will be more than the usual number of scum. This is like the one time it's super super good. You have to admit it: this setup is different.

Like I said, you don't have a lot of support for this. And I'd rather find scum based on their play than a mechanical, statistical "game" you are trying to push here.


So like 5+ poeple are like "yeah I could do RNG, but you don't have support for it"

well yeah cause you guys are all saying that. come on, try something new! This is the best possible setup for this. IF we don't RNG now, in this game, when WILL we RNG?

Odin hasn't spoken. And the resistance is because you could easily be pushing a ML on a possible role. Or even if he's vanilla town it's still a mislynch.

Like I said, I would rather lynch him based off his play. He hasn't spoken yet, but im willing to give him a chance. If he doesn't prove anything, I wouldn't be opposed to lynching him.


Well for now, why don't you vote him? He hasn't proved anything yet, and it's not like you can't unvote him later. It would help me with wrangling votes since everyone is like "yeah rng sounds good but you have no votes", i want them not to have an excuse.

Don't give them an excuse.

BH Gheto Vote count

OdinofPergo (3): Blazinghand, Xata, Yellow

A bunch of votes that don't matter




As you can see, the OdinofPergo Lynch is getting traction. "oh, that lynch will never happen" is now no longer an excuse for anyone who supports the RNg OdinofPergo lynch. Either say you don't support it, or get on board before this wagon leaves the station.

In any case, look guys you can whine all you want about RNG being bad, but you got ta admit, statistically it's bound to hit scum sometime, right? Like at Odin's opening post, where he literally OMGUSes me, says he's not OMGUSing me, and then look at the rest of the filter where he talks about other shit and doesn't try to push my lynch. how CONVENIENT Of him to place that vote. Now he looks like an angry newbie and everyone's gonna not pay attention to him, and he makes some bullshit posts or whatever and people are like "whatever"

if Odin really were a wrongly RNGed townie and really thought I was pushing some kind of scum agenda, he'd be shitting all over me, and constantly trying to get people who rejected RNG or pushed on me earlier to vote me. He'd actually be pushing a lynch. But he's not pushing a lynch, he's just throwing down a vote. He's not acting like a townie with his supposed reads WOULD act.

RNG was bound to hit scum eventually, and this is the best game for it. Here we are. Let's make it happen. vote Odin

I don't care if I look scummy, what matters is that

1) Odin is statistically speaking our best lynch, since he was RNGed
2) Odin also had an objectively scummy thread entrance (omgus) and a super scummy follow-up (as in, he hasn't pushed his read on me even a tiny bit)

So, I don't care what you think of me. I'm a vet, I'm not getting lynched today. At one point, the Odin lynched was tied for the lead, I can do this. I'll make this happen. And afterwards, if you're town, you'll thank me.

I don't care if I look scummy, what matters is that

1) Odin is statistically speaking our best lynch, since he was RNGed

So, I don't care what you think of me. I'm a vet, I'm not getting lynched today. At one point, the Odin lynched was tied for the lead, I can do this. I'll make this happen. And afterwards, if you're town, you'll thank me.

Don't lynch me, I'm Isaac, Hero of Vale! I have important powered needed for us to win, and if I get lynched this game will be much harder. You know this claim is real cause Isaac is like the main character so I would 100% get CCed if there was another Isaac.

@everyone who wanted to lynch me: /dunked.

Considering I'm pretty obvious as town..
Also curious how come you don't mention I do this exact same sort of thing every town game?

I mean common.. We just were in a game.. think back I think you can do it.
Now sub out the bullet points I used in that game for - marks... and BAM I'm like playing exactly the same..

So ye, I'm not big flashy going to blow out 15 pages of bs for your lynch.
I want you lynched.
But I will at least give people time to read my case and make opinions for themselves.
I'm not going to blow out 15 pages of spam about useless crap for it.

Until other people comment on it I'm pretty much done explaining this lol..


too bad I'm Isaac

So 3 votes compelled you to role claim "an important power needed for us to win"?


I'm posting via phone, so it had to be done. unfortunately I don't really have time to defend myself today, I'm busy eating dinner until about 5 or 6 pm my time. Didn't wanna get lynched

Why? Because you slipped? Nice omgus, xD.

I'd say it but I'd rather not get banned for telling the truth. In short, lynching you is +EV.


You guys might think stuff like this from geript is scummy, but it's really not. He has this weird persecution complex, and he's also obsessed with me / lynching me, so this is totally in-character for him. I'd be happy to see him lynched (as a matter of principle/policy) but don't think that any of his rantings are alignment indicative.

Forgetting he claimed vig, though, and his weird follow-up, is scummy.

I think it's not anyhow scummy to forget that you claimed a role. Scum would be more likely self-conscious about their claims and such.


I get what you're saying here, but it goes a little farther than that. Scum would definitely be more "on it" about what role they claimed, but this is a bit more subtle. See, Geript said "let's lynch all the blue claims, starting with BH". As scum fakeclaiming blue, this is something you could easily forget/overlook, because you subconsciously do not categorize yourself as a blue, see? But a real blue would in fact subconsciously selfcategorize as blue.

This all of course is scumslip heuristics, which are historically terrible for actually lynching scum. I'd be fine to watch Geript die just because his death would bring me pleasure, but let's give him a day anyways. If he's actually a town vigi we should give him a chance to shoot his gun.

Hmm, actually there's like a 99% chance geript is gonna shoot me even if he thinks I'm town cause he hates me. Maybe not then.

Now that we know I'm town, how are we feeling on Odin?

I don't think BH's claim makes him town, but lynching him today would still be bad play. Having said that, his only mafia reads both look town to me; Odin for his first post, tone and the confidence when he states he has done more in 5 posts than BH in 3 filter pages. BH's reasons for thinking Geript are particularly laughable and look opportunistic. It doesn't look like he actually bothered to read Geript's filter. Anyway, not a priority today.

Jampi still looks bad for the reasons the other head mentioned, as does Austin for fluffy and underwhelming content, in contrast with what I've seen from him as town recently. Essentially all of his reads so far have been in response to someone specifically asking him for them rather him being proactive.

To be more clear, because I don't want to be lynched, and my role still works fine as long as scum don't know the deets. You have to admit, it DID get people to unvote me, so it was a good move. Mid-D1 claim is imo a perfectly acceptable strat and use of a blue role.

Austin what's your read of Sqrt, Hapa, Kita and BH.
Kita later.

BH I want to answer my dang question about what he thinks the use of RNG is.


RNG is statistically speaking fairly likely to hit scum on D1, especially compared to your typical D1 lynch. In a 9-player game with 5 VT, 2 blues, 2 mafia, you've got a 2/7 chance of RNGing mafia (assuming you reroll on blues), which is like 30% chance of mafia lynch, compared with a 40% (i think it's probably lower than this but w/e) lynch rate for small minis.

In a big game like this, it's very very hard to actually get a lynch together. Plurality is better than majority, but it has its own weaknesses. Scum can more subtly and easily push a counterwagon D1. Most D1 cases are kinda crappy anyways. I always have reads but never for like super clear reasons, only reasons I can compare to myself. An RNG lynch does a lot of stuff

1) it has a good chance of hitting scum
2) it guarantees discussion.
3) People think scum will just jump on the wagon, but historically scum don't jump on RNG wagons of townies so it's really not any more dangerous to town than it is to scum.
4) In this particular setup, with many factions, there are probably many more scum than there are usually. This means that RNG is even MORE likely to hit scum, and better, scum are less likely to actively oppose it if it's on scum (though they may opposite it anyway as an easy stance to take) since they aren't working together

5) also odinofpergo voted for me and didn't follow it up, didn't really try to get anyone to agree with him or lay out arguments, which makes it more likely he's scum (this is distinct from RNG)
6. Statistically speaking, it was bound to hit scum eventually, and it looks like this time it actually did.

(2) is why I ask, sorta.

There's that stupid post somewhere from Palmar or Ace about why he's proposing RNG and what it's good for, and a bunch of the reason is that it can get people to take stances on the target ---> if RNG lands on mafia, who reacted weirdly, who is fighting RNG for bad reasons, blah blah. Along with just the general discussion.

But in this game, even if there's more mafia TOTAL, which we don't know to be the case, there's less of any given team. Like...you're losing some value because it seems less likely you can DO something with the lynch. You think that purely spinning the wheel, even if we've lost some other value, is actually worthwhile?


I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "value" but I "value" the fact that Odin is probably scum so we should lynch him

No, I totally get that. People vastly underestimate the value of post-RNG lynch analysis. Think of it as a contrapositive to the zephirdd rule. It's got the same backbone of solid reasoning but the same honey-laced exterior that draws bad attacks. Wagon development for an RNG lynch doesn't need to be pure RNG. I'm sure there's plenty of people who want to lynch Odin now for reasons unrelated to RNG. When he gets lynched, some of them will mention or not mention RNG, and that gives us info. I'd go into more detail but I don't want to ruin it. Surely you can see what I see here, right?

So I know out of game bets in order to advance an agenda are against the rules but can we have a bet on the outcome of an action in game?

I'd like to have a sig bet, if you get Odin lynched (regardless of his alignment) I'll change my sig to whatever you want for a month but if you don't get Odin lynched you have to change your sig to "Vet status does not = god status: I am not as good at mafia as I think I am" for a month.

Sound reasonable to you?

It sounds reasonable if you vote Odin every day he's alive.

I can't be forced to vote for him, that'd break the rules of an outside bet influencing the game, but I agree to a draw if he's shot by the town.

I will certainly vote him if I think he's scum which at the moment I think there are other people who I've previously discussed who are better choices.

EBWOP
Also draw if he's shot by scum?


Um, i'm fine with a draw if he's shot by scum btw but i'm not sure you understand how bets work. Like, how could you possibly win?

1. if he's lynched, I win
2. if he's shot by a vigi, draw
3. if he's shot by scum, also draw for some reason
4. ???

unless you really want to bet on him living to end game

MZ the reason I need your vote for the bet is that the bet creates a conflict of interest between your desire (assuming you're town) to lynch scum and your desire to not lynch Odin. You voting Odin as part of the condition of the bet resolves that conflict.

So for some reason you guys haven't yet realized that Odin is actually scum. I'm gonna set aside for the moment that, statistically speaking, he is scum, due to RNG. I'm gonna set aside that RNG is actually the best ever this game and that we should lynch him just for that. I think that case stands on its own merits, but clearly you guys disagree. When in rome, as Palmar says

Let's seriously talk about Odin. He enters the thread with an OMGUS on me. He doesn't call it an OMGUS, but let's be 100% real here: it's an OMGUS.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=21389332

now what's interesting here isn't the OMGUS itself (which is imo only mildly scummy-- it could come from angry town for example, especially someone who has been pushed while he was legitimately away) but rather the follow up.

Odin has plenty of time without me in the thread. He could be gathering reactions, pushing people to make reads, and generally trying to get me lynched. After all, he thinks I'm scum, doesn't he?

Instead, he mostly jabbers and completely forgets he's pushing me.

So some thoughts so far..
I'll try to keep in order as much as possible... but as I just skimmed like 50 pages that might be hard.

This whole RNG stuff.
It's pointless, it was pointless from the start.

My few conclusions I'm going to take away from this are:
BH is probably scum. Not as a baseless OMGUS, I'll explain.
BH has literally no filter.
None at all.
I'm not saying I'm in-tune with how BH does his RNG thing people were saying was popular with him.
But BH's filter consist of:
Let's RNG Odin.
No serious guys, let's do it.
Guys? Why we no voting for Odin?
Ok screw RNG then I'll just call Odin scum.
You know the guy who's posted.. not a single time.
How did this a RNG roll evolve to a scum read?
I mean it's been almost half of day one now and I'm still the only read he has in the game atm.
Okok, I lied a bit there. He wanted someone to shoot Geript iirc too.
So my conclusion to his filter is:
-Useless RNG talk
-Filler post
-Weird call for a shot on Geript (Dude's an ass? who knew! Geript you horse you.)
-Impossible evolution of a scum read on Odin
##Vote: Blazinghand

The Steve/Holy/MZ whoever else arguement was pretty weird to me too.
I don't think Holy is scum atm.
I'm not particularly partial to Steve's spam. 1/10 post he's made amount to anything to me.
That worries me.
MZ also had a few post I didn't like around this time.
But he shares a lot of the reads I have now.
So not sure if I just didn't like them because of the context, or because they were bad.
I'll have to read his filter later to decide.

I'd be fine with Vale lynch.
All the reasons already said by other people.
I'm totes a sheep if he becomes the lynch.

The whole Ceph case on ninjabunnies reads really awful to me tbh.
I mean I get what he's saying. But I have no idea why he believes that to be the case.
You're basing your top scum read on
"she didn't respond the way I expected town to respond."
"she didn't think like I think a town should of thought"
I mean your case isn't wrong per say.
But it is very bad.
Consider the player list of this game.
If you don't understand why someone responded/acted towards something you were trying to lay a trap for...
Umm I guess you might probably just go ahead lynching 1/3 of the player list.
Conclusion of your case means I should of been mislynched in 95% of the town games I've ever played.
Because I never make any sense..

Moving along,
Bunnies case on Thrawn is stupid and bad.
But it's not her fault really imo.
If I had never played with Thrawn I'd probably be suspicious of him too.
I mean this is probably why I'm eerie of Steve right now.
His play so far isn't something I'd call super for town.
But I have no idea what Steve's play looks like period.

Anyway, /end wallpost. I'll be around for a short while before bed. Hopefully I'll be up again early enough to chat with people before work.

Why would you be okay with Valenius lynch? Any original reasons?


Sqrt, be my knight in shining armour.

Travelling home now, so ill post properly in a bit.

Fun fact: I took more toilet breaks than I ever have done at work before, just so I could semi-keep up with you all.

Townpile


Explain?

Scum doesnt take bathroom breaks to keep up.


Wtf? Why not?

Because as mafia you can just say. Guys I have had to work all day, I couldn't keep up but here are some ideas of mine: "yabbayabbayabba".

Clearly this guy is so determined to find mafia he hides with his phone on a toilet to analyze posts. Doesn't get more townie than that.


LOL. townpile.

But no, serious the reason I have a problem with Vale is that he doesn't bring all those pooper analysis to the thread!

I'm just going to say I don't disagree with either of you here.
It's simple.

That comment might get me to re-evaluate my willingness to lynch Vale.
But it's only going to happen when he backs it up with actual results..

What's the problem here?
On May 22 2014 01:30 OdinOfPergo wrote:
Ye, that's all I'm getting at.
I think Cav's getting picky about it when there isn't a reason too.
Because Vale will just never produce results from it..

That post was lols.. If Vale is scum, I really look foward to seeing that qt comment "I know! I'll lie and tell them I was on the toilet!"




Oh yes, later, hours later, he finally remembers he's actually pushing me... and makes this amazing post which convinces and was destined to convince absolutely no-one to lynch me:

I'm not really sure on Thrawn.
I think he should be much more apparent in later days though.
I don't want to lynch him today at least.



with no followup. People have been talking about me occasionally, too, and even if not why isn't he pushing his read? his vote sure is on me.

It's only AFTER I re-enter the thread that he starts addressing me more clearly and aggressively. He was fine interacting with other players without pushing his read. Only a proximal notification reminded him, "oh, right, i'm supposed to be tunnelling BH. Oops"

zzz I don't see any pushing or analysis from you, or any follow up. How convenient! you're not pushing your scumread, except when he literally shows up and points out that you're not. Where was your pushing when I wasn't in the thread? sure, youv oted me, but you didn't try to get ANYONE else on the wagon, because as scum you're afraid

afraid of what will happen

afraid to play the game



and here's what he says:

It hasn't been very long since I came to the thread.

Considering I'm pretty obvious as town..
Also curious how come you don't mention I do this exact same sort of thing every town game?

I mean common.. We just were in a game.. think back I think you can do it.
Now sub out the bullet points I used in that game for - marks... and BAM I'm like playing exactly the same..

So ye, I'm not big flashy going to blow out 15 pages of bs for your lynch.
I want you lynched.
But I will at least give people time to read my case and make opinions for themselves.
I'm not going to blow out 15 pages of spam about useless crap for it.

Until other people comment on it I'm pretty much done explaining this lol..


Odin has been in the thread at this point for hours. Not days, granted-- but hours. He hasn't done ANY follow-up. When I ask him for follow-up, he claism I'm asking for some flashy 15 page thing. That's not what i'm pointing out; what i'm pointing out is that he has voted me but clearly has no actual intention to get me lynched.

So I toy with him. I call him a bad newbie. I try to anger him. If he were really town, he'd leap on me, he'd tear into me, wouldn't he? Wouldn't he, being town, become sure that I'm scum, become angry, lose control?

No, he's completely calm. He doesn't even make a REAL attempt to get people to vote me.

Funny I think a BH is a great lynch.


BH is probably the only player that comes to mind that goes out of his way to promote thread disruption as mafia, which I think he has done this game. I haven't really read any of the nonsense he is pushing though so I'm not sure if he has moved off the RNG stuff yet. Prior to the claim, I would have considered him.

Day 1 lynches on blue roleclaims in large games is generally a no-no, unless they come right before the flip.



Let me answer this for you.

I am still BH sole read this game.
A read he could not of possible of come to at the time he came to it..


...and then he unvotes me.

On May 22 2014 10:16 OdinOfPergo wrote:
Ok I'm just going to unvote for now since this will never happen today.
I freaking hate that you opt out of this with a blue claim to fool around, not do anything, partake in a continueing (since the start of the freaking game) RNG talk.
And make stupid bets that have no relevancy to anything based off of getting me lynched.
Oh and then proceeding to not even really push my lynch.

Austin gets sideways glances from me for prodding BH to continue to post nothingness.
I'm not super sure on Rit but meh, I don't have the time to filter him tonight so hopefully I'll get to that.

Still wouldn't be upset with Ceph, since I don't recall him ever being back yet.
But still curious on his response to that sketchy push on Bunnies.





even though he's still convinced that I'm scum, and that i'm opting out. Instead he talks about "Sideways glances". Where's the anger? Where's even the bitterness at a Vet pretty much literally pulling rank on him to not get lynched?

He doesn't care, cause he's scum.

And what has he done since unvoting me? pretty much nothing.

Oh yes, he has some small interactions

Out of anyone who's going to get him lynched I'm suprised by the wtf response he gives.
More so to a player he hasn't really mentioned... ever?




and he jumps on the mtamb wagon

Ok well, if today's lynch is between Laya/Trambo..

If I'm not noncomprehending your previous argument Laya, shouldn't you consolidate on Trambo as-well instead of OMGUS Rit?
Isn't your point that he's trying to either distance himself or bait onto a second bandwagon? To pull attention from Trambo?

Meh, I'm going to sleep. I'm to tired to think clearly anymore.



but that's it. And look at his post, which is just a vote for tamb and some like, lame questions for layabout, coupled with an excuse of sleepiness and fatigue.

Look at that. There's like NO chance the guy is town. He's not even trying, he's hedging, and he reacted exactly like a scum trying to to start a shitfest and just appear involved. Where is his followup? Where are his reads? does anyone know ANYTHING About Odin's reads?

No, and not cause he hasn't been posting. He's been active lurking, making posts that look conversational and analytic, but tell nothing. His behavior doesn't make sense, either between his vote on me and my return to the thread, nor when I was goading him, and honestly not even when he unvoted me. Afterwards he did nothing.

Odin is an amazing lynch. Even if you don't believe in RNG, you have to lynch Odin. Read his filter. Realize he's scum. Vote him.

Will you be around until deadline? Let's start moving votes to Odin now, since people will be slow to move unless they see some people going first. I'm really good at getting people to move votes at the deadline, but we need momentum.

yeah, it's not like anything odin said was literally contradictory, or that he made scumslips. It's worth noting that if he is scum, he's been very careful not to let obvious slips through. However, it seem fairly clear that Odin is not actually interested in hunting scum or pushing his reads. I think that's the big takeaway here. If he were truly apathetic as a townie, we'd see less hand-wavey attempts to look like he's pushing or discussing. He's trying to put up a front but his goal isn't scumhunting, and it shows.

You say as a VT he wouldn't care, but remember the first thing he did when he got back was to vote me (and not follow it up! and then unvote me later after I goad him deliberately, angering most people, but not him for some reason... while waffling on others)...

If VE is scum;
Disrupte the town.
Mislead ideas. (Because who can know if Caller's nuke is even real?! Might as well get chaos from it.)

I dun like any of this VE.

I don't think Caller is scum. And I don't /know/ if Palmar is scum /or/ town. Here's how I see things:

Caller (town my PoV) has mod-confirmed nuked Palmar. Palmar (alignment unknown) comes back to the thread and sees that he's been nuked. Palmar /could/ be scum right? We don't know. But know this: IF he's scum, then he's got a free pass to use his KP however he wishes right now if he has day KP free of scrutiny because he is GOING to die. He might, he might not. Day KP is typically NOT allowed to be used after a certain period in the day, so from MY perspective, voting for Palmar so he can't use Day KP presuming he has it until he proves through his posting that he's town is worth keeping him from using the KP so early on a strong player if he's scum.

I don't know what Caller's vote on me is about, but I wish he'd remove it.



I still don't understand.
Maby I'm bad.
What does it really have to do with squat though?

"But know this: IF he's scum, then he's got a free pass to use his KP however he wishes right now if he has day KP free of scrutiny because he is GOING to die."

But why? What you are saying involves these possibles.

a) Palmar is vanilla town. He dies to nuke.
b) Palmar is blue dayvig towner. He OMGUS Caller and kills him.
c) Palmar is scum. He OMGUS/ Spends scum kp killing Caller and dies himself unless his role (or other scum role for him) can dayvig Palmar.

Point in case is that either;
vanilla town Palmar dies to the nuke.
town dayvig Palmar kills Caller.
Scum Palmar/ teammates dayvig Caller.

None of these results give us any information.
How are you drawing conclusions from them?

Like I don't disagree that Caller's nuke at this point seems unwarrented.
I'm simply confused on how you are coming up with 'scum' for someone because of it.


This is Odin following up a post with a continued argument in direct response to someone, pushing his arguments. Sure, he votes then unvotes Palmar, but look at how his reads develop

I thought I could pardon at the deadline to ruin the day but the nuke lands before that, so I guess I'm just pardoning whoever people want to lynch right now.


If this isn't a scum claim I don't know what is.
Palmar is basically saying "Firetruck all you town ppl"
Besides I think you've been in a few games where the 'blow me town' phrase came up as a scum claim a few times.
What gives Kosher?

I'm so comfortable with this that I hope Caller's nuke DOESN'T land(Like he claimed) just so we can lynch scum regardless.
I also get a nice town-read from it.
Which is nice because I was kind of at a loss at how to treat the scenario of Palmar not dying from the nuke.
Now I do.
SO thanks Palmar for being so scum.

Anyway. I just thought I'd chime in on this.
I need to actually do more than a breeze through of this thread but ye
For now while I re-read with some thought..

Koshi;
I want you to decide and base what your read is on this.
I've heard you flip flop between Palmar and Caller for a while now with little to go between.
SO decide.
Otherwise I'm going to be confused and might think your scum for floating reads with no reason.

P.S. (It might be a while before I'm free to post. Ask your questions though. I'll make it around to them.)

No I don't care about the pardon.
I have Prp as null/slight town.
I don't care if Foolish says he's scum. From his filter I don't think that.
I'm curious as to why Koshi goes from reading his filter
pretty much saying "This guy seems town"
to "welp Fool thinks he's scum so he's got to be scum."
Doesn't make sense to me.

Per Palmar.. Ye my read has little to do with it.
Palmar could be scum framing a townie for a... second mislynch? (Assuming Prp actually would of gone through)
Or setting up Wifom trying to frame Prp as town now.
I don't know which yet. I'll draw conclusions on it after I've thought about it more.

But Palmar saying "sod off town. I'm going to be disruptive as possible"
You think that play makes Palmar town?
Like seriously?


Look how he mentions other reads, but never stops pushing his target:

And then he votes, as a culmination of a legitimate pushing effort:

Seriously.

Why is no one lynching Palmar.
This dude claims scum,
and everyone ignore it.

I haven't checked out SnB but you know what.. I'm not going to until tomorrow.
Lynching scum to high on my list to worry about other things.

##Vote: Palmar

Even now Palmar you can't be asked to put any effort into this game.
Per your last post you;
Want to die so you can "yell at game" post game.

Didn't actually read Prp's case but decided he must be town. So thus pardon.... TO FIRETRUCK WITH TOWN. And he's WORRIED he didn't screw with town.

So what gives? There is this guy in our game... Who claims over and over again he's out to do whatever is possible to ruin the town.
And we aren't lynching him.


and he only unvotes when, in a majority game, a consolidation is NEEDED in order to prevent a no-lynch. Not because people didn't express interest 24 hours into a 48 hour day, but because in a majority game at the end of the day you MUST consolidate

OK snap we need to consolidate.

##Unvote
I still don't like anything Palmar has done.
But I have no hope of pushing this lynch and no one else seems to think..
well, bluntly put, doing anti town things makes you not town.
w/e. I'm not happy but there is tomorrow.

I'm also willing to donate post to people who are around to discuss topics.
I'm a bit behind but I will focus on catching up before the deadline.




Even later, he stays on Palmar

Also thanks Austin.
Your previous comment led me to Oats filter and I had some quams with it before.
But reading it now with fresh eyes...

These are the big hiccups I ran into.

Geript changed his vote because palmar didnt die. Not for anything else austin. You must be deluded to think that. Anyway pretty much all the nuke did was waste time and a pardoner.
I cant believe you guys dont want to lynch alak for that horrific shot. Yamato was annoying but not scum or shotworthy. Look a the way he rationalizes it like shooting someone for the sake of shooting someone rather than shooting scum


What Slam shot? I must of missed it earlier but apparently he is lying and didn't shoot Yam.
Then we should lynch him.
Yam was annoying. I thought there was a decent chance he was scum.
I don't blame Slam for his shot.
But wait I just read it was Ace who possibly shot Yam?
I'm much confused right now.

Moving to SnB

##unvote
##vote SnB


as per my SNB thoughts.. I didn't like his VE tunnel. It wasn't a tunnel in the sense that he focus him as scum..
He focused on explain how his ideas lined up.
Way to much.
Like I don't even think VE is scum and I think this guy is protecting so much that it makes me wonder.
But a few of his responses and even his post in general tbh give a townish vibe when people bring up arguement.
Like for example
People grab pitchforks and go for SnB
Odin: "Well ye I guess that makes sense"
People: "NO! He's super towns! Re-read his stuff you will see!"
Odin: "Well, I mean that looks bad but this looks ok..."
People: "He's totes scum"
Odin: "I'm so freaking confused."

My problem with the SnB lynch isn't that I think he could flip scum.
No there is that possibility.
I think that it's not a bad lynch.
I know this responce will make me look bad.
But I don't care.
The reason I don't want to lynch SnB is because I'm not sure on SnB's alignment.
He's posted plenty to point towards scum. He has posted enough that I second guess myself.






where's that follow up now? Where's that follow through, the development of reads, the conviction of his beliefs?

nowhere

Scum would try harder to get out of it. As a vanilla townie, he wouldn't care.


You say as a VT he wouldn't care, but remember the first thing he did when he got back was to vote me (and not follow it up! and then unvote me later after I goad him deliberately, angering most people, but not him for some reason... while waffling on others)...

Odin did unvote Palmar in YOSO while he was 100% certain Palmar scumclaimed with the "blow me" reference.


the unvote is only part of it, though. in YOSO Odin was weighing in constantly and kept on pushing on Palmar. He kept the Palmar discussion alive even after that day. In any case, he had lots of follow up and clearly discernable, pushed, followed-through reads that he does NOT have this game.

Let's give Odin a try, shall we? There are many people in the thread who like the case but seem nervous voting him. He already has 5 votes it would not be hard to put him in the lead. We have plenty of time; voting him is low risk.

I really do think Odin is scum. Even his meta which Koshi thought exonerrated him, was actually very different from his town games. If you move to Odin, he becomes the lynch candidate. This is your chance, dude/lady.

BH I have a vote.

It could be yours, for the low, low price of telling me on a scale of 1-10 how much you truthfully think you can meta Odin


Honestly the meta stuff is just me telling Koshi he's wrong about Odin meta. The meat of the case has nothing to do with meta, even though meat is an anagram for meta. I know enough meta to say you can't say this is Odin's town meta. in that sense it's a 10.

Don't vote Odin for meta reasons; this isn't a meta case, and honestly the case is highly convincing without meta. I believe I have demonstrated 10/10 to don't NOT vote Odin for meta reasons though

I can't really argue my own meta, but if you want, just read Odin's filter on your own and think about what I said. Make your own analysis based on my suspicions and see if you come to the same result.

I was thinking the same. I was looking for it but couldn't find it.

Both of these lynches feel kinda "eh" to me, but maybe I'm just bad. I don't know.


there's no bet. read the case, read odin's filter http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/440546-golden-sun-the-lost-age-mafia-djinn-edition?page=120#2398

Can I say that I called everything here?
Veterans townies should support me, I mean if you guys don't go after him now well....


The fact that Odin happened to flip town doesn't change the fact that objectively speaking my case was solid. If you really are town and really think I'm scum, you should be quiet and try not to raise my ire, since I'm clearly capable of convincing 12 people to vote odin, why would I not be capable of convincing them to vote you? hue

You can't honestly believe you can actually find like, more than 2 people willing to lynch me, do you? I'm motherfuckin Blazinghand, the best player on TL Mafia, Claimer Extraordinary and Intelligent, He Who Doesn't Always Make Cases, But When He Does He Doesn't, The Catcher of the Three, The RNG Lyncher of Odin. Can you mess with those titles?

I think we both know you can't mess. Back down. It's over. It's always been over. A guy like you can't touch a guy like me.

Yes, you are a good mafia player, but I don't like your attitude.
I'm willing to lynch you.


OK tell you what I'll roll another RNG and we'll lynch that guy ok

actually seriously this though

like, there are a lot of people who weirdly flipflopped without real reasons or against their stated reads on the deadline. There's a ton of info this lynch generated and sifting through it is probably the best way for each of us to spend this night

Actually yes I will. If you are somehow town I'd advise you to do as much work as you can to ensure that scum shoot you tonight.


what do they need more reason than the fact that I'm Isaac? Apparently also Slam has some kind of role that confirms me, so I'm even more likely to be shot

In any case, even if I'm not shot I'm like super popular and well-liked by everyone because i'm so good-looking and charismatic, so I'm not too worried

But whatevs.



"I think tamb would have flipped scum" is the only real objection you could make, because that's the only thing that matters, but ALSO take a look at all that voting activity in the last 3-4 hours of the day. Tons of info

So when doing voting histroy and analysis you must keep in mind of that there is more than just town and mafia in this game, a common strategy for mafia generally from what Ive heard (correct me if Im wrong) is to spread out their votes if they can so they all do not look scummy for voting together. Having said that think about the win condtions that the non threatening town aligned people could have.

The limitations for that faction are endless, I was thinking about it while I was at work. What if a win condition was something along the lines of protecting certain players? This could make them look really bad if that person ends up getting lynched and flip scum by assosiation.

Another thing I was thinking about is possible 3rd party win conditions. Correctly lynching/shooting someone from each faction. Or something like killing off an entire faction (town or mafia)

Just something to think about when doing the analysis as this is not a "normal" game

I actually have something to say on this subject as well.

For starters, in order to find scum in the last second vote switches one of the leading candidates has to be scum, so in our case that means Val or Mtam. Now in a game this size, there are usually going to be several scummers who have been lurking along and are going to need to make up bad reasons for why they're not voting for the actual scum. This is where voting analysis usually catches them. However for this game, teams are likely gonna be a lot smaller which means that there will be less scum who are out cold and have to manufacture a reason to vote for the townie.

So why do I bring this up? Because it's dangerous to make cases based solely off of voting patterns in this game. While I'm not clearing any of the people who flipped at the end, I'm saying the case against them needs to encompass more than just their vote. Also another reason I'm bringing this up is that a lot of people who are now trying to do analysis had expressed doubts to the scummyness of Val and Mtam so I'd like to remind them that in order to give scum a reason to last second switch, one of those two has to be red.


You're absolutely right in terms of looking for first-layer scum motivation. With Val and Mtam on the block, we could expect someone swapping from one of them to Odin to be scum if and only if one of them was scum, if the goal of the swap is to protect a scumbuddy. Typically we'd distinguish this kind of swap by looking to see if it's consistent with what that person thinks or how they think, but ultimately this is the kind of associative tell we could only make after lynching val or mtam (and mtam looks like he is going to be a solid lynch choice tomorrow).

So what can we do now, if we don't want to draw associative tells between unflipped players? After all, it's a cardinal sin of mafia to draw associative tells between unflipped players since any time you say "If mtamb is scum, X is scum" you are never more sure X is scum than you are that mtamb is scum-- by definition, associative reads between unflipped players are faulty.

So what we do is, we look for what this tells us regardless of the alignment of mtamb and/or val. There are other things to look for. Imagine, for example, there were two lynch candidates, mtamb and Odin. Now, if Odin was town and mtamb was scum, we could look at swaps and understand if there were scum protecting buddies. But what if mtamb is town? Can those swaps mean something to us? Yes, they can. If mtamb is town and Odin is town, and you're scum and you want to maximize mislynches, let's say your'e on mtamb.

Now, Odin isn't a realistic possibility. BH has been pushing some kind of wacky RNG lynch all day and it has very little traction outside of a few devout followers. Then, a few hours out from the lynch, BH writes a real case. People start flocking to it. Suddenly, Odin, who didn't seem like a realistic lynch candidate before, seems like a possibility. You start to think: Will Odin even be lynchable tomorrow? Might this be our only chance to lynch Odin? Mtamb can always be lynched later.

Then Mtamb comes back into the thread and is saying weird things and peopel hate him for it. Scum thinks to himself, "yes, mtamb as town would always be lynchable. This is my only chance to lynch odin" and he swaps.

So, regardless of mtamb's alignment, I think we can find scum in the swaps from mtamb to odin, if and only if the underlying reasoning leading up to the swap was bad or inconsistent with how the player was playing and thinking before. If Mtamb is scum or town, scum has a reason to lynch Odin first. Mtamb as scum wants to be saved; mtamb as town is a safe mislynch and Odin might only be mislynchable once.

So, we do what we always do. We look for bad reasoning that doesn't reflect a town mindset, and we lynch those people.

Hmm, that's a good point. Should I be more suspicious of people who voted Odin at the start for reasons entirely based on RNG or should I be more suspicious of people who voted him after I wrote my case?

I think it depends on what the person did after voting him, if they did in fact vote him early for rng reasons. There are people who voted him, then went to use their votes in other ways. I'm gonna talk about Yell0w, who was my most steadfast RNG supporter throughout D1

at first, yell0w had a different idea for how rng ought to work.

I disagree, if most people randomed their votes, the ones who didn't would instantly look scummy and we could lynch them tomorrow. Everyone would RNG their votes if most people did it, because they'd know how bad it would make them look otherwise.


This thinking is so obviously and blatantly incorrect I'd be somewhat surprised if he was scum. Scum would care a lot about how they appear, and making a statement like this shows a certain amount of "I didn't consult with anyone before posting this thought" that makes me think he's not in a scum QT. It's possible he just made this post without the help of teammates, but I feel like he'd be advised to back off of it at the very least.

He then throws in his towel with me:

Okay so I'm behind an RNG lynch, I understand my idea wouldn't work since people don't want to random their vote and if most don't do it it'll never work, so I'll just vote Odin.

and then he jsut has conversational posts. His next major post is 12+ hours later:

@Sqrt Look at what Yellow has said since then. Hes super on board with the random lynch and gives up on his idea. He throws dirt on Steve when someone comes in and tells him to stop shitting up the thread (I think steve is town so no on that) + Show Spoiler + This screams of TMI like how do you know there are multiple scum factions could be town + scum + third party shenanigans?


@yellow I voted you because of the above and other minor interjections where you're saying "wow that looks scummy of you" basically nudging a wagon into happening instead of actually pressuring someone with voting and a case sounds more like you're pointing people to be like "hey look boys X did something scummy what do we do?" like a not get your hands dirty type of play.


So first of all, I don't get how thinking a random lynch is a good idea is in way alignment indicative and I still think Steve is probably town, but his play has been very anti-town, talking a lot and saying absolutely nothing except that HF was mafia for no reasons. This whole me thinking there are multiple scum factions is kind of a silly argument, I just think it's the most likely scenario, don't see how that makes me scum. As far as I know, most possible 3rd party roles are anti town, so they're scum. Hm, I guess if I am a 3rd party anti-town myself I would know there are at least one other scum faction, maybe the argument isn't as silly as I first thought.

I think the second part refers to what I said about Slam, I just thought him acting the way someone said he does when he's town is something a scum player would do, I don't know what was wrong with me pointing it out. I don't know if he is scum or not, clearly others know him and know how to read him, so I'm going to let them read him because I certainly have no idea.

And the other person who voted against me was BlueyD, he said:

Yellow’s is just...
-a lot of rng discussion with very few reads,
-that switch from “BH’s method doesn’t work well” to “okay let’s do it”, and the general fact he’s for rng lynch
-mentions the fact that there are multiple scum factions twice and seems to think it’s important.
- and there’s at least one gem of defensive thought right here:


Once again assuming a random lynch is scummy, which I still don't get, and the issue with BH's method isn't that it doesn't work well, it's just that it's not as RNG as it could be since people know what they're voting for before voting, I asked questions about it since this is my second game and no one brought it up in my first game and I wanted to know people's thoughts on it. Nobody really answered though, people either said my idea was good or it was bad, without saying why, no one answered my questions about BH's method and the general idea I got from the thread is that RNG lynches are just not fun, which I don't think is a good argument. So I thought about it some more and came to the conclusion his method was the best RNG method since people aren't willing to random their votes.

I didn't really see it as a contradiction, even though everyone seems to think it was, I wasn't fully against it in my first post, I just asked some questions about it and then thought about it and concluded it was fine.

I already talked about the multiple scums faction thing, but yes I do think what the other factions are is important, why would it not be important? And I don't get your last point at all.

I'm town here guys, I don't think I did anything scummy, I especially didn't like BlueyD's case, I think it was really weak, like because I talked about RNG I'm scum, that doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, I'm gonna give my general reads a bit later, I still need to catch up to the thread though, I didn't give any reads earlier because it's hard when everyone knows each other and knows each other's plays when I don't, I'm worried I'll say silly things and call someone suspicious for doing what everyone knows is his town game, but I'll definitely give reads on the people I played with.


and is mostly a defensie post. he/she follows it up though with this post full of reads. Exerpted it from it:

On May 22 2014 00:19 Yell0w wrote:

tamburini: scum, I didn't like the big post he made, it all seemed like fluff, he was basically just giving his gut reads on people as he was reading the thread, which is pretty much useless to anyone but him. He's been very different from the game I played with him where he was town.

I thought I'd have more time to do this but my friend showed up and wants to play chess, but for now, with tamburini, my biggest scum read is jampidampi and biggest town reads are poofter and hapa.



And, when the lynch comes down to RNG vs his scumread, he's nowhere to be found. He disappears and never has to weigh in on whether he'd rather lynch RNG or his scumread, and has not returned since then, even though judging by when he's usually active he should have posted right now. Even better, the lynch has already happened so he can just say what's convenient for him. So yeah I'd say pretty good chance he's scum.

Man all this filter diving is lame, I kinda want to just wait and see if I get shot THEN do all the work but if I do get shot how will you guys win unless I leave something behind? As the only competent townie I have a responsibility to lead, even from the grave.

Like I guess I'm just saying, people seem to have no trouble lynching me when I'm scum, and me being a vet doesn't protect me there. When I was a newbie, and even today when I smurf, things always go fine for me, because I'm actually a not-TOO-terrible player of mafia. Hell, even Geript is a "vet" in his own way, but the "vet" "non-vet" distinction isn't meaningful imo. After all, Slam has played tons of games but you don't see people worshipping him as a "vet" cause "vet" is just a word

the dude was absent for way more than the last 3 hours of the day tho and he hasn't veen back since then so yewah, get served


Doesn't that highlight the fact that he's just not around?


I don't believe in the concept of people not being around, though. Like, I understand that a certtain % of the time people just didn't plan ahead and make time for their mafia game, but I view these things charitably and assume anyone who's AFK actually is not afk, and is really trying to decieve us.

IRL is never an excuse.

You can be dicks all you want.
I'm too.
But the whole vet thing is just silly and a cancerous limb that needs to be cut off.


Good luck trying that on a vet like me huehuehuehuehuehue

Also as a slight note on that metaphor, typically amputation is like a big nono for cancerous limbs due to weird cancery science things. That's not to say that a surgical solution is all bad, but given that cancer can metastasise and that removal of a larger tumor causes smaller tumors to grow, lopping off a limb is pretty dangerous.

An ideal solution is probably some kind of surgery where just the tumor is removed, coupled with chemotherapy and radiation to kill whatever's left and also anything else in the body. This leads to the best patient health outcomes.

You can't even be witty.
You could just say that "The correct term is ;gangrenous; ".


I actually thought about that, but in a way, Cancerous almost seems more appropriate. After all, gangrene is like rotting, whereas cancer is the subversion of cells and tissues that were doing good into bloated tumors that are bad for you and just consume resources and post huge filters of meaninglessness.

I would also like to note that, even though Odin HAPPENED to flip town, and even though when I started writing that case on him I was doing it just cause he was my RNG target, it was still a good case. Partway through, I started to really believe it. It was just gonna be a half-assed thing, but as I wrote more and more and read more and more I started to eat my own dog food, so to speak. I wanted Odin to be scum, so bad. I wanted him to be scum and when he said and did scummy things I was so happy.

You can't understand how happy I'd have been if he flipped scum, if RNG had really truly worked. Think about every game from now on: I could suggest RNG saying that it has lynched scum every time people implemented it. I [u]believed, and even if only for a few hours, so did many of you. Even though Odin flipped town, we still have that memory, and I will always treasure it.[/i]

It was purely and solely on star power.

Hapa even admitted that he sheep'd the shiny names.
Get owned.


He didn't sheep my name, though; I was on Odin all day. It was other people he followed.

Probably why 50% of it was bad then :D

Also i want tambo to die even if just for the information. If he is actually town the people that were switching look more town etc.
[/i]

Yeah if tambo is scum, we get a ton of info. I'd rather have a good idea of him being scum though first, just cause lynching for information almost never actually goes well. If there's someone scummier we should lynch them. Maybe a vigi can shoot tambo? If geript actually has a gun that's what he should do.

he's suggesting that valenius is not actually a real scum read


That also makes zero sense though. Why would I fake a scum-read in-thread as a faction hunting another faction? That makes all sorts of little sense, because I'd be wasting time doing something incredibly dangerous for no more town credit than building an actual case.


So the premise of the case is, Hapa is Scum from faction A, and he has a legit scumread that someone is faction B?

Seems like it's pretty obvious to me what the setup is, I don't knwo why you guys are so confused

town
scum - water/mercury
scum - lightning/jupitor
scum - fire/mars
scum - earth/earthplanet

Each scum faction has their own kp flavor and their own alignment, and probably win when they control the lynch or something like that. 1 kp is therefore unaccounted for. I wasn't shot or roleblocked.

There's 4 kinds of djinni, lined up with the 4 elements (air is lightning) of classical yore. Each djinni is a scum faction. We're people fighting against them. seems straightforward to me.

Also is steveling suggesting that I'm scum based on the fact that my name hs "blazing" in it?

I've crumbed my role and I can't reveal it. Also, I should let you know, generally night kill flavor does not point at the username of a player. It points at role or alignment, but not username. For example, if you were a water-aligned player and you killed someone, the flip would show them drowning, not them getting steved to death.

Don't worry guys, I won't reveal my role unless it's necessary to save my life. My role is such that I can't reveal it without making it substantially less useful going forward, assuming scum has certain roles/powers.

Well then you better start contributing because all you have is the rng and the town case.


I know it's a no-no to reference one's own meta due to wifom reasons, but generally the kind of case and push I did on OdinofPergo is "classic town Blazinghand". If I were playing with me and saw me do that, I'd generally consider me to be almost certainly town. I won't ask you to take my word on it, though. I do this all the time. It's how I roll. Sometimes I catch scum, sometimes I mislynch town, but that D1 was a fairly typical Blazinghand D1. My profile has a list of games I've played in (though it needs to be updated).

Noooo...

Actually, ##Vote: Steveling


I think it's important we pause for a moment and consider whether or not steveling's confusion about kill flavor was genuine. If you think he's scum, you also think he's faking confusion over how nk flavor works in an attempt to look townie. The thing is, I've seen nothing from Steveling indicating he's smart enough to do that, and everything from him indicating he's inexperienced/bad enough to not know how nk flavor would work. He really seems like the guy who might expect that if he shot someone, they would be "Steved" to death in the day post. Do you think I'm underestimating his intelligence?

wouldn't this actually be "fitting" rather than "ironic"? It would be ironic if my name was like, frostinghand. but instead it's literally the opposite of that.

Hmm, sounds like factions could possibly be allied/rivals of other factions based on this description from the wiki.


So it would be like this?

Town
Scum
Mercury
Jupiter
Mars

or something


I would think:

Town
Venus
Mercury
Jupiter
Mars





If it's like that, then some of the other factions may be hostile towards each others, some may be neutral, allied etc...


I think ShiaoPi would rather go for a like 2+2+2+2 setup, right? so that would be 8 scum vs 24 town. if scum have 4 kp, worst case scenario for town is

D1: 24-2-2-2-2, mislynch, 4 shots
D2: 19-2-2-2-2 mislynch, 4 shots
D3: 14-2-2-2-2 LYLO? since presumably you'd need to lynch both scum to stop a scumteam's kp. Of course, there will be scum shooting at each other etc also happening which will help, but I think I could see the setup with 4x2 scum being balanced

wouldn't this actually be "fitting" rather than "ironic"? It would be ironic if my name was like, frostinghand. but instead it's literally the opposite of that.


No it's ironic because you would obviously try to use your name as an excuse, like you did earlier in your mean post calling me dumb.
Mods knew very well what they were doing giving you a Fire djinni role.


Heh, good save, good save. Clearly that's what you meant

Hmm, sounds like factions could possibly be allied/rivals of other factions based on this description from the wiki.


So it would be like this?

Town
Scum
Mercury
Jupiter
Mars

or something


I would think:

Town
Venus
Mercury
Jupiter
Mars





If it's like that, then some of the other factions may be hostile towards each others, some may be neutral, allied etc...


I think ShiaoPi would rather go for a like 2+2+2+2 setup, right? so that would be 8 scum vs 24 town. if scum have 4 kp, worst case scenario for town is

D1: 24-2-2-2-2, mislynch, 4 shots
D2: 19-2-2-2-2 mislynch, 4 shots
D3: 14-2-2-2-2 LYLO? since presumably you'd need to lynch both scum to stop a scumteam's kp. Of course, there will be scum shooting at each other etc also happening which will help, but I think I could see the setup with 4x2 scum being balanced


That seems plausible. It also means that it would be best if we got rid of the remaining Mercury (or Mercuries) to reduce KP?


That's true. At the moment I'd rather lynch mtamb, but assuming we can actually find him (and that he's not mtamb), the last frost/mercury warrior, Koshi's buddy, is the best lynch today. Here's what we know about him:

1) he was koshi's scumbuddy
2) his kp was the one that was blocked last night, since fire, lightning, and earth flavors all existed

Koshi's faction didn't kill anyone, so it was likely that the hit was blocked, either by medics, veterans, or other opposing roleblockers.

The Venus faction killed Koshi.
Mars killed bk.
Jupiter killed Meapak.

There was no flavor concerning if the adepts/town killed anyone. Either we don't have vigs, they got roleblocked, or they didn't shoot for whatever reason. Doesn't matter now, because scum already knows if they roleblocked the right people or not.

So why did those kills make sense to scum?


Hmm... Could it be that the Mercury faction is neutral and doesn't have KP? (since Koshi's name was black instead of red)

Or maybe their KP went to Steveling.


If that were the case, it's plausible that mercury was a lone person faction, and the remaining 3 factions are all scum aligned, with 3 players each.

I'm going to use the above votecount to structure my thoughts. By looking at the votes, we can get a better idea about the motivations of certain players, and it can help identify certain mafia tells that might be present in a multi-faction game. I'm dividing posters into 3 categories:
  • People off of the main wagons
  • People who voted Odin
  • People who voted Tambo



People off of the main wagons:

There's a good chance that certain mafia/faction members will want to "blend-in" and "hide", and one very instinctual way of doing that is to avoid the main course of discussion, take "non-controversial" stances, and avoid contributing by pursuing/voting someone who is not being talked about and has very little chance of getting lynched.

In this category of players, we have:
mtamburini
rikoty
geript
Cephiro
Tehpoofter
kitaman
sqrtofneg1
WaveofShadow

I'm going to start with Mafia Reads, move to Null Reads, and then to Townies:

Tehpoofter had virtually no chance of getting lynched yesterday, and this is the definition of a wasted vote by all accounts. His reasoning for placing his vote where it was is also pretty suspect:

Im not going to vote on bunnies because I think she might be town and just needs some time to cool off and get her head in gear.

As the days go on my game will improve. With regards to my interactions with people Ive played with before I know I have a better chance of getting a read off them then smoeone I do not know so I will look at them first before anyone else.


hey i thought after your long post the ONLY read you had was that steveling was scummy/null to you and that was it? where did this first 45 page poofter read come from?


tehpoofter uses sarcasm as either allignment but you can usually tell by the tone of his sarcasm what allignement he is. From his initial posts Im reading the sarcasm as more scummy then towny

All of this is really strange. The first two quotes can be barely considered reads. The 3rd quote is extremely manufactured and makes very little sense - tambo had never mentioned tehpoofters "sarcasm" all game, and then it shows up in a very mystical and unexplained read (what is the difference between town/mafia sarcasm?).

Quote #2 is additionally strange - he voted a read (tehpoofter) that he felt was moving from Scummy to Null. Not only is this really weak, but he did so over Bunnies, who he's been seemingly tunneling most of the game, and has explicitly called her a strong scum-read in earlier posts. His rationale for not voting Bunnies is weak and makes little sense:

To understand why this makes so little sense, read this post...

...then read page 3 of his filter:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/440546-golden-sun-the-lost-age-mafia-djinn-edition?user=mtamburini&page=3

He doesn't vote a scumread because he believes that scumread could be town, but then votes tehpoofter (his "scummy moving to null" read) because... man I don't even know.

His deadline behavior is pretty strange.

After he comes back a couple of hours before lynch deadline, he quickly establishes a town-read on Odin...

It's a very poorly explained town-read. His point about "Odin not trying to get out of the lynch" doesn't make much sense either, since Odin had stated earlier he'd be gone until the deadline. Futhermore, Odin was under very little pressure at the time he said that. It seems more like he's trying to justify not voting for Odin as opposed to being sincere with his read.

Sqrt then pops down a very "clean" vote on Valenius...

Valenius's filter from NMM LIV: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/445959-newbie-mini-mafia-liv?user=Valenius&view=all
He was vanilla town. He was much more active in scumhunting, he was much more direct, he was different.

Tambo's filter from NMM LV: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/447955-newbie-mini-mafia-lv?user=mtamburini
He was vanilla town. The filter is a bit more strange because he claimed vig, but it's more accurate of his play than when he was cop imo.

I've concluded that Valenius has been acting more strange, in comparison, rather than Tambo.
##Unvote
##Vote: Valenius


... then POOF! He's gone for the last two hours of shenanigans! Despite having a town read on Odin, he never seems to try and act on it to prevent it. He disappears... then instantly reappears at lynch deadline! This is a really suspicious 2 hours of absence.

Another *really* odd thing about his filter is how many town reads he gives out over the course of the game. He gives them out like candy, is seemingly confident in a lot of them, and... yeah. I'm not sure if this is a mafia tell in this particular setup, but it's something that definetely caught my eye on a readthrough.



Cephiro
+ Show Spoiler +
Given that Cephiro was AFK for the last half of the day, it's hard for me to get an accurate read on him. However the first half of his day 1 play seems like it would come from some sort of faction.

I won't talk much about the contents of his big case. What's more important is that he didn't talk about anything other than his case on bunnies at all. This lines up with the idea of a faction wanting to "hunt" for players, but not necessarily interested in contributing to town discussion.

Again, hard to make a complete read on him due to him being AFK for a while, but his play objectively fits pretty well with how I'd think a faction member hunting other faction members would approach this game: find a target, push him/her, and really not contribute to town discussion otherwise.


Ritoky
+ Show Spoiler +
Hard to say. His play is pretty short and straightforward. He believed layabout was scum, voted him, and then had to step out:

WOS contributes and I basically don't like much of anything he says.

Layabout doesn't contribute, and when he does its mostly shit filling.

Gonna go with layabout. ##vote layabout


Nothing in his filter that screams his alignment one way or the other.


WaveofShadow
+ Show Spoiler +
Well he replaced out. This makes a lot of his lack of interest and activity in the latter half of the game pretty explainable. I wasn't altogether please with his play (especially his stuff on Holyflare), but it's better not to make judgements about an incomplete filter and let his replacement talk some.


Geript I believe to be town. Geript is extremely active and emotional this game. His tunnels seem very genuine, and while he ended up on BlazingHand, he definitely was very involved in the chaos and discussion of the day. He's drawn a ton of attention to himself, and really isn't someone I'm concerned about.

Tehpoofter I'm less sure about, but I think he's town. He's playing extraordinarily different from his scum-game in You Only Shoot Once, and was fairly active/involved early on. He was afk for the last ~24 hours of the day (not changing his vote or posting at all), which leads me to believe his vote being off of one of the main wagons is a null-tell. Based on his early day behavior, I give him a moderate town read, with the expectation that he continues that in future days.



That's Hapa's voting analysis thingy

Hapa I don't think Cephiro is mafia atm. His whole bunnies thing was sooo convoluted. And I've seen him all over the place like that as town before. I remember catching him in LXII and his posts were much clearer. So yeah.

sqrt I think I agree on, the Odin townread does kinda reek of TMI.

Since it seems like there is only 3 of us here, let's have a bit of a chat.

@Marv/geript

I am a little bit hung up on an odd interaction in the early game, that was part of the original reads I gave when I called MZ my top town. It was when he noticed Jampidampi supporting the people he would never lynch on day 1. I was actually a bit wrong on that when I went back and looked at it again. 27ninjabunnies was the one who said it, and she actually said "there is no way I would lynch meapak this game". Which meapak felt was very strange and then jampidampi hopped in to defend bunnies against that and a couple other accusations headed her way at the time.

What do you think of that interaction, because to me it seems very odd, or if you don't particularly think anything of it what do you think about those 3 people?


I am rereading that and to me it seems jampidampi started with questioning MZ about bunnies. MZ replies that bunnies made an "unguarded" comment and is likely town. jampidampi pressures MZ and is giving bunnies a scumread for being overly defensive. He is telling MZ that the way MZ clears Bunnies is wrong and that he should revisit that read. MZ doesn't do that and jampi gives MZ a light scumread for it.

This is pretty towny from Jampi tbh. quotes: ↓

I may have my eye on a few people.

From my experience, there are two type of mafia people: the lurkers, and the ones who like to come out first day and take control of town.

I'm focusing on the latter because they are the ones to likely talk more, you can easily find their slips (if any), and they are also more likely to last longer than the lurker mafia.

Why are you avoiding my question? I asked you to name your suspicions, but instead you give an indefinite answear and then babble on about something that could reasonably be figured out from your earlier post.


If I'm avoiding your question, it's because I have a pretty good damn reason as to why.
But because you are being persistant, the ones I have my eye on are Steveling, WaveofShadow and Tehpoofter.

But this doesn't necessarily mean they are scum. I rather read more of their play and interactions before I straight out call someone mafia. The majority of these people I haven't played with, and this is my second forum game.

If I don't have logic behind my reads, where does that put me? As a freaking town more likely to get mislynched.

So hold your horses, let me get my reads, and then we'll talk.

She has "a pretty damn good reason" to avoid my question, yet she anwears it. Earlier she said that "we definitely have a mafia or two" but now they are not necessarily scum.

I agree that she made a terrible post there, my "unguarded" comment did not specifically relate to any one post in particular and more to her style of posting over all. My personal concern with her is actually her sudden clearing of me after I lightly defended her. It's waaaay too early in the game to say you won't lynch someone, even if you qualify it with D1.

It still kinda baffles me that you could ignore such a heavy contrast to your generalization about bunnies play. Makes me think that you didn't actually put that much thought into it, which makes me think you might be scum.

It's soon 2 AM here, so see you all tomorrow

______

From reading Jampi filter is goes like this:
Jampi: Hey Bunnies I think you are scum. Let's interact.
(interacting with scumread)
Jampi: Hey MZ, do you agree with my scumread on Bunnies.
(Interacts with MZ, gives MZ scumread for not seeing what he sees)

This shows that jampi had a strong read on Bunnies at that time. Town mindset.

That seems plausible. It also means that it would be best if we got rid of the remaining Mercury (or Mercuries) to reduce KP?


That's true. At the moment I'd rather lynch mtamb, but assuming we can actually find him (and that he's not mtamb), the last frost/mercury warrior, Koshi's buddy, is the best lynch today. Here's what we know about him:

1) he was koshi's scumbuddy
2) his kp was the one that was blocked last night, since fire, lightning, and earth flavors all existed


Errr... you're making a ton of assumptions to get to #2 yo.

1) We don't know if KP is factional or by person.
2) Even if it is by person, how do we know that one of the other factions didn't have their KP blocked?



His kp, his team's kp, same thing. But the point is, mercury = water, there was no water aligned kp, all the other kp had lightning, fire, and earth. It seems clear to me that the mercury guy had his kp blocked

Yes.


OK, then you're definitely town. I can't possibly imagine you're scum and didn't check to see whether or not this is a Clue game. In this game, the fluff is meaningless. It's not a Clue game.

Clues:
There are no clues.

so now's the part where you admit confirmation bias and unvote me

So, I'm not gonna reveal how I know this, but I know this and people need to know it. This is what I got:

You can be controlled by a djinn

I don't know what the connotations etc of that are. Maybe a djinn is a player, or an ability, or whatever, but it's possible to be controlled by a djinn. Is this alignment changing or is it your vote, or your actions, or some combination? Again, I don't know. All I know is what is bolded.

That's crazy.
If it's true I'm pretty sure that someone can use you as a bullet to kp someone else.


Alternatively, it could refer to losing control of your vote (like purgatory mafia), or getting recruited

What does that mean? From town you become scum?


I'm not SURE that that's something that can happen this game, but the recruiting mechanic works like this usually:

1. your powers stay the same. if you were a cop, you're still a cop. if you were a vigi, you're still a vigi
2. your alignment changes to scum (or whatever faction it is). you gain access to the QT and win with that faction.

assuming recruiting is in fact what being controlled by a djinn means, the amount of stupid I would have to be to even hint that such a thing was possible right after being recruited is astronomical. Surely you can't be serious.

But they didn't know that you can be controlled.
Only thing they may know and I'm not sure about that is that Isaac role can be controlled by a djinni.
And you revealed that as a joke in d1.

Steve, I need you to stop for a moment and relax. Take a break from the thread, go watch some youtube videos, and then realize that everyone who has played games on tl mafia like this, vet or not, newbies included, is not somehow drawing the same inferences you are. Maybe this means you're right and literally everyone else is wrong. That is possible. However, take a moment to relax, unwind, and consider the alternative explanation, which is that you're misapprehending the situation.

If you don't do this, you're not helping town.

It doesn't matter what kind of role you have, you shouldn't reveal your specific power. Now scum knows which blue not to target with their djinni. As long as it wasn't clear Slam was the immune one, I was protected by uncertainty. You let Steveling get into your head, Slam. Bad move.

well assuming djinni control works like I think it does, this means don't anticipate a good action from me tonight. Any other party members, definitely don't claim.

Slam: no more talking about your role or my role.

The bk kill is highly highlyyy likely to come from marv/hapa/kita/foolishness/austin though so I'm pretty confident there is one mafia there.


I'm also interested in the bold part.

Now about bh/slam, think it's obvious they are some kinda 3rd party faction.
It's clear from the conversation that they communicate through other means, probably a qt of their own.
I wanna say they they are protown but I'm not that sure.

marv said that he and BH were confirmed town to each other but i cannot for the life of me find BH agreeing with this which should have been a priority of his the moment he saw that marv had written it. If they are confirmed to each other regardless of whether if helps us now we need to know it before one of them flips. It would leave us exposed to a flip manipulating role but since it's alignment flip it would be a ridiculous level of host setup bullshit for such a role o be there.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, sorry, I just noticed the youtube video. It seems like something's bad so I'm gonna reread the last few pages in case it's important. sorry if I made any non-steveling people mad!


You didn't drive me off this game, slam did with his flaming which in every other part of the forum would have him temp'd for a month.


Hm, maybe we could come to some sort of compromise. I give you a free pass on utterly ignoring slam, so does everyone else, which is pretty typical for slam anyways, and you ignore slam and have a good time. Sounds good?

This actually ended up being partially true, cuz I absolutely got dat ABBA faction. I'm unsure if anyone else converts, but I do, and to win I need to eliminate a particular other faction, as well as convert a certain number of brosephs.

I am unsure if all factions need to get rid of other factions, nor do I know the names of the ones that aren't mah nemesis. I'd prefer not to give out that other information, but we'll see if it becomes necessary


before you die, give us your top 2 scumreads of people not in your faction. It will help your remaining teammate(s) and also help us.

I remember you trying to make a similar pact as SK in some game. Emergency mini mafia or something.

Yeah it is a good movie for the scum if he can get it to work. Depending on the situation it might be good for town, but usually that's when town is out of options. Not in a situation like this. Its entirely possible his kp is not random and he just wants us to think it is etc

Already said this.

I don't know if other factions recruit, but in the HYPOTHETICAL situation where 2 people try to recruit the same broseph, they cancel.

I ASSUME that works the same if another faction is doing something ELSE with djinn, but I don't know.

My faction, at least, is about as in the dark as everyone else. I just happen to be a little more awesome.


Then this is mighty possible?

steveling doesn't actually think i'm scum austinmcc, he's just yanking your/my chains. I like the effort you're putting in. In a way, I hope you still have a member of your faction alive somewhere so that your effort wasn't in vain, but in another way, I hope your faction dies with you and you're just resisting and being helpful on principle, because you're not gonna give up until it's over. Either way, awesome effort.

Well, things are looking good for us. Assuming the 2+2+2+2 speculation was correct, we're now at 1+1+2+2 which is highly solid. If Austinmcc was alone in the Mars faction, then we just eliminated 2 kp per night (one convert + one kill) even if those wouldn't necessarily always be hitting town. high life!!!!

they haven't had a kill flavor in the thread, but we know nothing else. I think you've made a lot of interesting assumptions this game that someone with a townie pm would not have made. i'll drop a mad case in resolution time

seems accurate to me.


from a balance perspective that the other factions do something different than pure recruitment, like temporary power control or temporary vote control or something. This is because, assuming that all recruits go off properly, town drop sfrom 24 players to 16 vs 12 after N1. perfect night actions basically make D1 into LYLO, or this game is balanced on scum mostly targeting each other or something. It would be pretty weird for scum to have this kind of power without inhibitions.

I think we can assume this: scum factions aren't dead until we see them stop NKing, and even then maybe not cause they might be out of bullets or something. Scum might have 2 players per faction, might be able to recruit, etc, but most likely just do not have a strong, solid permanent recruitment power for game balance reasons. Or at least, not all 4 factions.

It's not lylo though is it? That's if it were 16 vs 12 not 16 vs 3 v 3 v 3 v 3


once you get into a "kingmaker" scenario for town, where town has to play the scum factions off of each other and can no longer win by lynching, it's nearly impossible for town to win. Therefore, I strongly doubt that the setup is "4 scum factions, each has 1 kp and 1 recruit per night". I'll literally eat my hat if that setup was used here.
