Praise be unto ABBA for a new and glorious game. I'm all ready to play Personal Vendetta Mafia, where everyone picks a partner and snipes back and forth and doesn't drop it.

BH, on an actual serious note, if you will, what do you believe is the value of an RNG vote in GENERAL? Purely to have an x% chance of hitting mafia?

WoS possible mafia for posting THIS for Lazy Town

Hapa actually voting someone for a reason is good. I think that when the thread starts off super posty and trolly, someone +1ing things isn't necessarily scummy? Like, if you want to insert yourself into the discussion, you find people who write the word heart or just dick around, you can insert yourself by doing NOTHING, so I think inserting via +1ing isn't all that bad here.

So...town points hapa, no points Valenius.

this is the part of your case where you assume something completely wild and out of the blue cephiro that is so off tangent to the original question that it doesn't make sense and then the rest of your case is entirely based off of this


How is not considering the possibility of someone voting on you being scum completely wild? She literally ignores the possibility of me being scum voting on her, as proved by her own thought process. They were my first posts in the game and I instantly pressured/attacked her. And she didn't even think of the possibility of me being scum. Like literally, all her responses screamed that I was town to her. There is no way she could be that sure I am town by just exchanging a post or two with her by that stage.

Care to elaborate on your reasoning why it's a completely wild assumption and debunks the whole case?


The problem is there are multiple scum factions, you could both be scum and not know it.
Do you think that multiple scum factions makes cephiro's post thought here invalid?

Geript, I know it doesn't need saying, but don't shoot marv. No blessings.

Why do you think he's super town Snooglewoogle?
I mildly think he's town because he started out arguing with me about something dumb. Also he was somewhat posty, and the "hapa come save me" thing tingles a little on the town side.

You having no blessings has less to do with thinking he's town or supertown, and more to do with shooting marv like... 1/4way through D1 being a TERRIBLE idea all around, and if you're a fake vigi you should be talking about fake vigi-ing someone else at some other time I think. If you're a real vigi then you aren't serious about shooting marv. ABBA has faith in those who have faith in ABBA.

My question is this: What do you think about BH?
Only for swedes.

I think BH is dicking around and that's not alignment-indicative for him. I do wish that he'd answer my question, about what he thinks RNG is good for, even if his hand is full of spaghetti.

In terms of non-RNG stuff in his filter, I actually kind of like his joke-y response to MZ about games and fun. Even though that's half-RNG-y, the spirit behind it, where he's sorta joking and having fun, is a + for me.

@bunnies READ YELLOW is that how he plays as town? anyone else that saw that newbie game he was just in. Was a he someone who kinda threw out nudges of someone being mafia/scummy? He felt more laid back to me but I didn't read the whole thread. It seems super scummy to me.

Austin: You had the ABBA like read on Oats last game I'm getting a tingly sensation about Yellow can you comment on that?
I don't think that yellow is oats. I also just like interacting with oats and think I can read him alright.

As far as yellow,

I kinda of liked the initial response to BH. Wasn't "RNG dum", but was like..."okay, so you have this idea, but why not do another thing instead?" It's not the laziest response, it's not calling him scum, it's not really doing anything other than what seems like trying to figure something out. Bueno.

Lighthearted all caps sarcasm = lynch post. HOWEVER HE DIDN'T WANT TO LYNCH OTHER PEOPLE WHO USED SARCASM. VERY CONTRADICTORY. MZ OR SOMEONE EVEN POSTED A THING WITH /S AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO LYNCH THEM. Anyway, that's fine.

Actually read mtam's post. I gave people townpoints for this.

He answered my question fine. Knew what ceph was saying, knows why he thinks it's invalid, it's a good putting pieces together thing about something in thread. Again, putting pieces together good.

Overall, fine with yellow. It's not an oats-read, and I hate the way I read people as town in multifaction games, but I'm town on him for now.

are you ignoring the fact that he 180's later and joins BH's rng wagon?
Yes. I don't care about the 180 at all.

I care that the initial post looks like he's thinking about something and trying to work through it.

Unless you can point out a scummy reason to do a 180 on RNG at that time. Cuz I don't see why pulling a 180 there is GOOD for anything except making yourself look slightly funky.

I like the guy but yeah can't read him, not opposed to his death at any stage. If I had to pick a person who you random yolo lynch if you have absolutely no idea I'd probably pick him. You got my approval.
Casually chatty "I like the dude but can't read him and am happy whenever to lynch him" didn't read like Foolishness to me.



If you were the mayor this game, and the mayoral role was "Remove 3 people from the game at the end of D1, then leave the game and go eat hot pockets," and you were kinda mildly town-aligned because you like town, who would you banish from the game at this point and why?

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. If Isaac is the main character and we have no counter-claim, I'm currently down to think he's town based on that even though it's a bit disappointing/anticlimactic or whatever. We got four factions and town. We got pictures of 4 thingies/Djinn. The OP mentions "Djinn mixed between you." I don't know Golden Sun and only did a little preliminary flavor searching, but based on that wording and the Djinn stuff, the Djinn are the factions, and so Isaac would be town.

As far as sqrt, nothing as of now. I can see the "no contradiction" thought pattern, where he thinks Geript is talking about the townread he/sqrt gave, and therefore is saying everyone who does what hapa does is town + yes geript, people who do what I/sqrt do are usually mafia, but not this time. I'd like for him to stop giving lists of reads, whether not spelled out or barely barely spelled out, and focus on like...1-2 people. "Here are a bunch of reads", even if explained, isn't as helpful/scumhunt-y/good-for-reading-him-off-of as posting about specific folks, maybe pushing mafia reads, defending people, rather than standing on the sideline and going HERE ARE MAH READS. There are some people-specific posts in his filter, but if you gotta write down one thing about sqrt, you write down "dude keeps posting lists"

Hapa one sec, it'a kitatime!

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?

The value of how A scumteam interacts with the RNG. We can lynch scum and have other possible scumteams be entirely on board here, less...associative value, less ability to read people as part of one team.

Read layabout, mtam, ritoky, bkq, jampi.

Of any note, mtam seems like, if she's mafia, she'll out herself just by posting and attitude. Newbie games are super energetic, playful, declaring herself the town leader, a bunch of posting stuff and ending with "inb4 ____ posts". If the playfulness or involvement isn't there/declines, seems like a decent tell.

More than anyone else right now I like ritoky for mafia. He's got like 2.5 posts, that are PURE reads, and the majority of the reads are super inconclusory/wishy-washy/say nothing.


FIRST SIZEABLE POST

1) 27ninjabunnies talks a whole lot about herself. I am kinda gonna sheep tamburini's reads on bunnies. I read a post and I am neutral, then I read the next one and I find it defensive and with 1 million I's in it, which puts me off. Then I read the next one and I am back to neutral. Idk, it just leaves me a bit skeptical because last game I played with her she was oozing town out of her pores it was so obvious, and the fact that I don't have that feeling right now gives me pause and concern. That said, she is contributing and typing seriously which is significantly more than most people (including myself) have done thus far.
Neutral, town, neutral. Skeptical because she "oozed town" last game, but notice how his read was never SCUM. If someone oozes town one game, and doesn't the next game, you don't conclude they're town/neutral, you conclude they AREN'T town at some point. But there's absolutely no calling of scum, just...neutral/pause and concern.

2) I find the people who were highly opposed to the RNG lynch on day 1 questionable. Especially those who said things along the lines of "I think I am better than RNG". I think if you say that on day 2 you can sell me quite a bit on it, as I would not be in favor of an RNG lynch on any day after day 1. Usually there is enough information to make singinifcantly informed guesses by that point in the game. But when you say something along the lines of being "better than RNG" on day 1, it makes me think that you have more information than I do. Which very likely means that you are scum.
Throwaway RNG comment. People who think they can do better than RNG must have outside information, they're mafia. Not "people scumhunt and think their suspects are mafia, and prefer to lynch them." This is an altogether curious statement for me, I can think of reasons to like/dislike RNG, but finding people who dislike it scummy SOLELY because they think they've found mafia or CAN find mafia is...no bueno.

Volunteering here is some minor plus points, but ... the statements themselves are negative points.

Do you have reads on Yellow? Hf/Steve? Austin aka ABBA? Cephs case on bunnies? Bunnies case on thrawn?

He isn't because I am town and sometimes I feel like reading the game to further enhance my trolling/joking around and because I do actually enjoy thinking about whether or not something is alignment indicative.

This wasn't directed at me, but I just got back and noticed a decent segue for me to give input on this as well.

re Yell0w: To me, his play is very much similar to the last game he played. He bumbles and fumbles with the details sometimes but overall I read his intentions are fairly pure for now. I don't necessarily think that because he contradicted himself that makes him mafia, it could just be bad VT play or forgetting what he said. He even admitted he contradicted himself, which is uncharacteristic of scum imo. Usually scum would be more concerned with keeping their story straight and their ducks in a row so early on.

re HF/Steve: I think a lot of that is predicated on reads from previous game experience with eachother, which I don't have with them so I can't say.

re Austin: null

re Ceph on bunnies: I think it is the most substantive accusation out there right now; that said I don't like all of the substance. I think bunnies has a ton of redeeming qualities and has done quite a bit to drive conversation so far, however as I said previously and as Ceph pointed out she seems very defensive in some posts and concerned with self image which is offputting for me. So for now I have her in a neutral area.

re Bunnies on thrawn: I think she is trying to shove a square peg in a circular hole. I think she is pushing a stubborn and conservative player who doesn't like making accusations until there is enough substance to make them into making an accusation before he is comfortable. As of now I like thrawn more than bunnies because he chose deliberately to not force out a read or flimsy accusation and stuck to his guns. However, that comes with an asterisk; that asterisk being that when he does talk, if it comes off as sheepish, parroting, or flimsy; then he is probably scum trying to blend in with the current of votes.

And just because someone (can't remember) seemed to think my read on waveofshadow was odd. I would say to you: read his filter. I find that he seems to be asking for a lot of information without giving anything back and either ignoring productive talking or actively avoiding it in a lot of cases. Much of what he says is jokes and non-committal responses. He could just be playing trolly VT during day 1, but I read it as more scummy.
Essentially, ritoky volunteered to call a bunch of people null.

Yellow's play is similar to the last game they played, his intentions are "fairly pure", there's some "I don't think he's mafia there", but if you have a minor meta read on the guy AND you think his posting this game is kosher, I'd expect something more townie. There's no "He's TOWN" pop. It's just "I don't think he's mafia for this." HF/Steve are no reads. I'm null. Bunnies is null, Ceph has the fattest case but he doesn't like the meat, and that says nothing about Ceph. Thrawn is town but with an asterisk, and the overall read is "thrawn is null, and will be town or scum depending on how he presents reads later." That whole post just comes to very little in the way of actual conclusions, it's ritoky volunteering to give thoughts, reads, but all his thoughts and reads come down to "I don't really know" for the most part (yeah, not all, hyperbole, suck it).





COMPARE DAT SHIZ TO RITOKY'S LAST NEWBIE in which he was town.

His posts have like...strong reasons. He even has an example of him being unsure on someone's alignment, directly talking to them, giving reasons, and looking like he's trying to figure something out without just saying "Maybe x or maybe y." It's a big difference imo.

I am not particularly a fan of this post, and a lot of the subsequent posts by sqrt. I understand that this is day 1 and information is at an all time low, but encouraging fooling around and then continuing to do so after some legitimate discussion has begun rubs me the wrong way.

I also read Epishade's comments as deflective and dismissive. Unlike Bunnies and like you Epishade I am not convinced that yell0w is scum at all, but you seem to want to say "it's a joke, move on". I disagree, I think bunnies is right to apply pressure and see a response. It seems strange to me that you seem to want to simply move on before legitimate response has been explored.
I dislike THIS POST and THIS POSTER. I have read and looked at your posts, and HERE IS WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, YOUR MINDSET HERE.

Sqrt screwed around a bunch at the start on the other newbie mafia games too, so that's not out of the ordinary for me.

I think Bunny is pushing too hard for a comment made in jest. I may be wrong, and Yellow may be scum, but it seems to me that Bunny loaded that question against Yellow, and then when Yellow answered truthfully, that contradicted his comment he made before that was made in jest. I think Bunny could have just been aiming to paint Yellow in a potential scum-light, but then Yellow joked that "you caught me." Bunny decided to roll with it and vote for Yellow right then, as an easy way to get rid of someone quickly with the first lynch.


Really?

Because to me, it seemed like bunnies was looking for 1 of 3 things to happen: 1) yell0w to get hyper defensive (which didn't happen) 2) yell0w to counter with aggression (which didn't happen) 3) or someone to deflect for him (which did)

I don't think yell0w is scum right now at all, he responded how he responded. It wasn't ideal, but he is sticking to his story saying it was a joke and I don't read him as hyper defensive about it. But you seem to be very pushy about this entire topic and very heavily deflecting for him. It could just be a legitimate read and belief that it is a joke, but you could also be mafia deflecting for another mafia or mafia trying to deflect/pocket a town who faced early pressure.

For the most part I simply don't like how you seem to want to move on from what I think is the only real substantive thing happening right now. Not wanting more information and more reads and more reactions tends to be a scummy thing.
Super explanatory about thought process. What he thinks Bunnies was looking to do re: yellow, and actively pushing at Epishade for what he's doing, saying that the thing being done is scummy.

##UNVOTE
##VOTE: Epishade


I had it in my mind that Bunny was attempting to get an easy 1st day lynch by making a bad accusation against Yellow. When I said that her actions against Yellow gave me a scumread, you said you didn't agree with me there. Ritoky also suggested that Bunny was getting information from Yellow, instead of trying to kill Yellow with the lynch. I thought that Bunny was pushing too strongly for very little reason, and that looked like scum behavior to me. Ritoky said that she was probably digging for information, and I thought that that was actually a pretty justifiable reason for her behavior.

I changed my opinion on Bunny mainly from Ritoky's post, but you also disagreeing with my scumread made me think I might be wrong about the situation. I certainly didn't want to continue forth with Bunny being a scumread when you guys had changed my mind about her aggressive posting.


I appreciate you taking into consideration others' read on me.

But I would like to ask something. Why do you assume Yell0w is an easy d1 lynch?


I thought that your attacks on him were spot on, if not for the fact that what he made at first was in jest. I was thinking others would disregard this fact and bandwagon onto the first scummy looking person to lynch day1.

Although this new post from Yellow I'll admit is kind of weird.


The fact that everyone is reading his response as "in jest" is weird to me. How can you tell? Because I couldn't.

Also, no one BW that.

Could be mafia not wanting to bw on their partner? Still doesnt explain why you think that he is an easy d1 lynch.


"So this sqrt guy sure seems to enjoy talking, so he's probably mafia."

You didn't think him just bluntly stating that sounded at all like a joke?

I know nobody BWed it, but I didn't think Yellow was scummy at all to begin with (before he made his recent post that is. Idk what to think of that). I didn't want to lose a potential town for making a joke IF people had started to bw against Yellow. I guess, as you say, you didn't think what he said was a joke. You thought he slipped up, while I thought you were attacking him because he was the first suitable person to attack based on his "slip-up." I wasn't sure how far you were willing to take it to make Yellow look bad (but as I now figure from seeing others reactions, you were probably just getting info), and I thought you were attacking him too strongly for nothing. That was what gave me my initial scumread on you. Then others convinced me otherwise that I was probably looking too hard into your attack and I don't have that scumread anymore.


Okay, I see what you are saying here.

But no, I don't think him bluntly saying that is a joke. And here are my reasons.

1. I'd say it just to get a reaction. Like if I say, oh, tamburini is mafia for wanting to be leader (which I blatantly said, yet no one defended or deflected off of that like they did on yellow). I got more of a reaction to my questioning of Yellow than I did with tamburini, which is why I went further into questioning on yellow.

2. I wanted to see what Yellow thought to my questioning, to see if we had the same read on sqrt. Because here is why. There are two types of mafia imo: The ones who lurk, and the mafia who tend to want to be the first to talk or talk the most. I wanted to see what Yellow read into Sqrt, as if he was thought Sqrt was the latter mafia.



I guess we just had different interpretations of what he said, leading us to have different conclusions over how to handle it. I thought it was a clear joke and nothing more, but since you saw differently you attacked him. I didn't think the attack was warranted and that's when I got my initial scumread on you etc. I've posted my reasoning before.


See, that makes sense to me; but what doesn't make sense to me about your reaction is that you wanted the entire convo to simply go away/end. Which is why I read you as deflecting off of yell0w. If what you're saying is true, and you had a different view of the situation that led you to a scum read on bunnies; then why didn't you push hard back on bunnies? To me you read less so as accusatory toward bunnies and moreso as let's stop talking about this. It also seemed to me at the time, that you were setting yourself up in a bit of the "I told you so" position if yell0w ended up being a mislynch, which I also didn't like.

But you have come around a bit for me, the openness in your change of opinion bought you back some credit for me, but I am still now sold on you as town, especially if yell0w appears any more mafia than he currently does when he comes back and starts typing.
THIS is the biggest difference post for me. He says Epi was reacting incorrectly, doing something mafia might do. So he's poking, he's talking, he is TRYING TO FIGURE EPI OUT by chatting with him. At the end, there's a CLEAR conclusion, even if it's nullish. I thought you were mafia for this before, now my opinion is changing because of this. You've come back to neutral, and you will move based on this following thing. Compare that version of "you're neutral right now" to the summary neutral statements in the current game. He's interacting directly, he's got clear ideas of what his read on someone WAS, how what they're doing now is changing it, and where they go in the future. It's not mush, it's trying to figure someone out.

GO READ THE FILTER YOURSELVES YA LAZY FOLKS. BUT HERE'S A CHUNK OF READS FROM THAT GAME

On April 30 2014 05:26 ritoky wrote:
Well I feel awkward right now, since from what I can tell my reads as of now are contrary to the vast majority of people.

tamburini: I don't understand the majority of the hate in regard to tamburini. He declared himself the lead of the town with his first post, which you don't have to agree with and I certainly don't; but it places spotlight on him. From that post forward in the entire game he will be under a microscope, so either he is that confident in his scum play or has nothing to hide. As of now, I have no reason to believe he has anything to hide. I personally believe that if he is scum trying to insert himself into the leadership role that he will run himself into the ground eventually. However, what I don't get is why everyone dislikes his reason for voting on yell0w. Personally, with my read on yell0w, I think tamburini is mistaking scum for just bad play; but I wouldn't be opposed to lynching yell0w. To me, tamburini's point is that town should be concerned primarily with locating and lynching scum, and yell0w's primary concern was appearing town. Appearing to be town is mafia's job, not town's.

epishade: I have red flags all around epishade, and have for a while. I don't really like many of his reads at all, but before that happened he was deflecting hard for yell0w and trying to kill conversation. There are 22 pages in this thread and a lot of it is predicated on the conversation that epishade didn't want to even happen. As I said earlier, his posts read more genuine and open which buy back some of the scum feel, but my gut says otherwise.

bunnies: I have a fairly neutral read on bunnies as of now, leaning town. She is pushing discussion along, which increases the volume of information available (the opposite of what epishade was trying to do before) and to me is a town thing to do. I think what bunnies is doing is useful for town, which gives me a town read; but I am simply wary of people getting behind her on a BW, which will put her back toward neutral a bit for me until there's more to go off of.

yell0w: For me, yell0w reads odd for me. Almost as if the game started at 50mph and yell0w was still going 30mph. I think his joke response was neither here nor there for me, but I liked his conviction in defending it when pressured. Then he seemed to be overly concerned with perception and since then has given a lot of info that is piggybacking off of someone else, so he is moving back down my list. Wouldn't be opposed to a lynch.

sqrt: I don't know if it is a stylistic thing or what, but there's something weird here. Lots of prods, short comments, and question asking, not much in the way of legwork. Combine that with the lack of seriousness early on and it just strikes me as all very odd. I don't read him as projecting town in any way; whereas most other people I can read town aspects to what they do and say.
There are DIRECT conclusions. Even where things are mushy (bunnies is neutral but leaning town), there are clear statements. I think bunnies is maybe TOWN for THIS. He's actively calling people particular alignments, which, to me, was lacking from his summaries in this game.

The value of how A scumteam interacts with the RNG. We can lynch scum and have other possible scumteams be entirely on board here, less...associative value, less ability to read people as part of one team.

This isn't QUITE spaghetti yet.


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?
You were so focused on the %s that I was trying to see where this would go, whether you were also thinking about multi-faction stuff affected the other value and other reasons to possibly RNG lynch.

As far as going into detail, plenty of people wanting to lynch OOP for reasons unrelated to RNG, no...I don't FULLY see what you're getting at. Your posts where you call OOP scum for his response and his posts started to read like mild lunacy so I passed them over. I'd rather have substantive posts from you, like the above discussion or like stuff unrelated to RNG, like how ritoky looks or how kita looks to you.

marv, do you have any particular thoughts on how kitamang plays him some mafia / go take a look at Kita for me (along with ritoky but you should already be doing that).

He's around at a couple different times, but with NOTHING substantive. Even when not around in that recent large game, he had a list of people and posted a couple of things and seemed to not care but in a townie way. Here's it's minor chip-in comments and nada.

Unlike how he played mafia in that game with you/gonzaw/himself, don't think I've played with pure mafia kitaman apart from that, but not certain. Not what I'd expect either way, but being around on occasion and seeming to know what's been happening in thread, plus choosing to comment on things like BH's claim, who used the word "heart" in posts....no bueno. He's read the thread and the conclusions he draws are about hearts.

Yeah, it's a small sample on meta. Do you agree/disagree about his actual reads this game? The majority are just null, and he feels unwilling (apart from MZ/WoS) to actually call people TOWN or MAFIA. He leans in ways and people do things that make him feel things (so specific), but it doesn't ever seem to lead him to the conclusion that they actually have ALIGNMENTS that he can speak and attach to them.

Also, you know I won't go away even if you try.

Layabout's threadcop posts read slightly townie to me, like he was threadcopping not just to do it, not for cred, but because he actually didn't want to read steveling's posts or look at hula hoop pictures.

I am personally of the mind that wishy washiness does not come from going small game to big game.

I think that staying clear of people you don't know and sticking to reading folks you feel more comfortable with would make PERFECT sense in that vein. You can see it when we get new people from video mafia. Specifically, I know in Foundation we had like...robik, poofter, amiko, and killing? 2/3 their D1 posts were on each other, because they kind of knew each other, but they still reached conclusions and had thoughts.

For the most part, ritoky fits that where he's on bunnies/yellow/otherpeoplehe'splayed with.

I DISAGREE that wishy washiness results though. If he's shown he can have firm conclusions, reasons for conclusions, and I don't think that falls away just because you join a big game. I was a NUTCASE in my first large game, but I reached stupid hard conclusions. Especially since a lot of the wishy washiness is about people he's played with, and even concerns similarities in games (someone is acting like they did in x game where they were town, but ritoky doesn't actually call them TOWN). Those are, at least, pieces of the big game that he should be somewhat comfortable with.

re Austin: I mean, I wish my reads were better too, but so far this game has been very confusing for me. Yesterday turned out to be a very busy day for me, so my attention wasn't at it's fullest in this thread, which is partially my own fault. However, nearly 25% of this thread seems to me to be a group of veterans who know eachother trolling and making inside jokes which I don't particularly get. Thus it is very hard to read a lot of people in this game.

I have only read about 10 pages from my last post so hopefully by the time I get caught up I will have better material. If you want my thoughts on particular people, then I will do my best to oblige.
Can you start small then? Go with the people you've played with, pick like...2. Any 2 of your choice. Plox to read them and try to get a feel for them and actually conclude stuff.

Please tell me you are in the west? My neighbor is the president of OceanMist's desert division, I can get so much fresh produce and he knows the art of Grillen well (see Zatic and blog, and his neighbor is a East German woman who is also amazing but later) basically this is great wisdom

I would super highly recommend slicing em into chunks, roasting in the oven, and adding just some ginger/scallions in oil to it. If you want to Grill em, usually you gotta wrap em in foil and do em whole.

So you'll totally sheep me, especially over that poser marv, but you'll sheep me on something you sort of entirely disagree with.

What I wrote about him included calling those things no bueno, the ones you seem to like.

Also let's talk about this:

1) 27ninjabunnies talks a whole lot about herself. I am kinda gonna sheep tamburini's reads on bunnies. I read a post and I am neutral, then I read the next one and I find it defensive and with 1 million I's in it, which puts me off. Then I read the next one and I am back to neutral. Idk, it just leaves me a bit skeptical because last game I played with her she was oozing town out of her pores it was so obvious, and the fact that I don't have that feeling right now gives me pause and concern. That said, she is contributing and typing seriously which is significantly more than most people (including myself) have done thus far.

This quote is either a lie, or it is town. Mafia is not able to feel like this. I wasn't in this newbie game nor did I read it but if they both were town and if it is true that rikoty was able to instant read her town than this read is pretty ok in my book. It isn't that wishy washy. There are maybe more sentences than needed but each sentence adds some more meaning.


Specifically:
  • HOLY BALLS CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT MTAMBURINI READ RITOKY IS SHEEPING RE: BUNNIES? Look at mtam's filter. mtam was SCUMMY on bunnies, then "moving towards neutral" because they agreed on something (moving towards neutral indicates....SCUMMY still), and later back to scummy again. Seriously, go look at mtam's bunnies stuff. Ritoky is "sheeping tamburini's reads on bunnies" which were "scummy --> moving towards neutral --> scummy".
  • READ THE ABOVE THING AGAIN. HE IS SHEEPING SOMEONE'S SCUMREAD. EXCEPT HE THINKS THE PERSON IS MAYBE TOWN OR MAYBE NEUTRAL. THESE ARE NOT THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

ritoky can you summarize how you think sqrt played as town, and then what specific changes you see in this game from those?

Also let's talk about this:

1) 27ninjabunnies talks a whole lot about herself. I am kinda gonna sheep tamburini's reads on bunnies. I read a post and I am neutral, then I read the next one and I find it defensive and with 1 million I's in it, which puts me off. Then I read the next one and I am back to neutral. Idk, it just leaves me a bit skeptical because last game I played with her she was oozing town out of her pores it was so obvious, and the fact that I don't have that feeling right now gives me pause and concern. That said, she is contributing and typing seriously which is significantly more than most people (including myself) have done thus far.

This quote is either a lie, or it is town. Mafia is not able to feel like this. I wasn't in this newbie game nor did I read it but if they both were town and if it is true that rikoty was able to instant read her town than this read is pretty ok in my book. It isn't that wishy washy. There are maybe more sentences than needed but each sentence adds some more meaning.


Specifically:
  • HOLY BALLS CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT MTAMBURINI READ RITOKY IS SHEEPING RE: BUNNIES? Look at mtam's filter. mtam was SCUMMY on bunnies, then "moving towards neutral" because they agreed on something (moving towards neutral indicates....SCUMMY still), and later back to scummy again. Seriously, go look at mtam's bunnies stuff. Ritoky is "sheeping tamburini's reads on bunnies" which were "scummy --> moving towards neutral --> scummy".
  • READ THE ABOVE THING AGAIN. HE IS SHEEPING SOMEONE'S SCUMREAD. EXCEPT HE THINKS THE PERSON IS MAYBE TOWN OR MAYBE NEUTRAL. THESE ARE NOT THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.


##vote: Ritoky


I think you misread mtam's filter, I was moreso commenting on how I felt his movement back and forth from neutral to scummy, back to neutral was how I was feeling about bunnies.

However since then mtam has gotten a lot worse in my mind.
Aye. I went the wrong way on something, my post below the quoted one is DISREGARD MY LAST POST. LAST POST WRONG. or something.

Neutral, town, neutral. Skeptical because she "oozed town" last game, but notice how his read was never SCUM. If someone oozes town one game, and doesn't the next game, you don't conclude they're town/neutral, you conclude they AREN'T town at some point. But there's absolutely no calling of scum, just...neutral/pause and concern.

2) I find the people who were highly opposed to the RNG lynch on day 1 questionable. Especially those who said things along the lines of "I think I am better than RNG". I think if you say that on day 2 you can sell me quite a bit on it, as I would not be in favor of an RNG lynch on any day after day 1. Usually there is enough information to make singinifcantly informed guesses by that point in the game. But when you say something along the lines of being "better than RNG" on day 1, it makes me think that you have more information than I do. Which very likely means that you are scum.
Throwaway RNG comment. People who think they can do better than RNG must have outside information, they're mafia. Not "people scumhunt and think their suspects are mafia, and prefer to lynch them." This is an altogether curious statement for me, I can think of reasons to like/dislike RNG, but finding people who dislike it scummy SOLELY because they think they've found mafia or CAN find mafia is...no bueno.

Point 1 is wrong Austin. He was going between scummy and neutral. Same as the not specified gender person that has a name that rhymes with that thing you slap with the bells on the side.

point 2 is indeed curious. But is it mafia? What is the mafia mindset? Is he trying to put an idea in the thread? Is he forcing town to look deeper into the people that think the rng lynch is good? Putting more dirt on those people? I don't feel that. He is pretty general talking about "these people". It's not like he is trying to incriminate 1 person. He just gives his opinion.


Anyway. I am going back off on all this giving reads thing I am now doing or I am going to get too involved in this D1 lynch. I don't want that.
The mafia mindset is that town scumhunts. Town needs to scumhunt, wants to scumhunt, it's what town does and how town wins the game. "people who think they can do better than RNG must have outside information" and "I find people questionable who say they think they are better than RNG" is essentially...."I think that scumhunting is useless." Not in quite so strong terms, yes, but "people who think they can do better than RNG" is a set of people who have reads they think are mafia. They want to lynch THIS GUY and not RANDOM GUY.

In essence, you're just straight pooh poohing on scumhunting by saying there's no reason to think anyone can outperform RNG, and, moreover, you actively think the people who believe they have caught scum ARE QUESTIONABLE. That's the mafia mindset, if you NEED one to be there. People who think they can find scum are questionable, people who scumhunt are questionable, just bow down to RNGsus.

It's also just a bit of the opposite side of the "oh man, that guy is thinking what I'm thinking so he's town!" coin. People hate RNG for all sorts of reasons, but I've never seen any townie think "RNG is good because there's no way we can do better than RNG. In fact, anyone who THINKS they can catch scum on D1 is questionable."

WoS, look into Steveling. HF is town and Hapa is also probably town.

I'm boggled by the fact that marv said having a huge filter is good for town. It's not when there's nothing there but useless garbage that clogs up the thread and doesn't accomplish anything.

Also, who said we should lynch layabout? When you're talking about a guy that gets lynched day 1/2 a lot, maybe, just maybe you should take the quality of their play into consideration. Maybe I'm biased because I got lynched day 1 a lot for stupid reasons, but I still really want to kill Steveling today over anything and everything else for the moment.

I'd be really wary of people who say that just having a big filter is good for town.


Steveling would be a terrible lynch. I get that you don't like his play, and his play is very spammy, but it's also very clearly town. Just because his spam is "contentless" doesn't mean it isn't genuine. Look at some of his other games - he plays like that all the time.


where are you gettin this info from? The database only has 2 of his games in it and they are both scum,

Surprisingly Normal Mini Mafia VII Mafia Framer Survived
Cell Mini Mafia Mafia Vanilla Survived Day 3

The only game he's played town in is in yuma where he was just spammy because he thought he caught someone and was being stubborn. I get that he looks towny this game but why are you implying this is "obvious town meta"?
If this is true this is my favorite post so far this game, lol.

HE'S TOWN, HE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME

UMMMM, HIS GAMES ARE MOSTLY AS MAFIA

No, don't want to lynch him today. Part of my case is not there. Him being worried about people who think they can catch scum is still scummy to me, and I'm still not buying the small game --> big game = wishy washy thing that people seem to like.

But part of my case WAS bass ackwards, and...I don't know what to do with his responses to me. Like he posts a new single post that's a list of people, answers me on a thing, then jets. If all we get is list list list, don't forget him. Will unvote.

I don't like how Ceph jumped right on you, as soon as he came into the thread. Plus, as many others have stated, the case itself isn't all that good.
Like, what's the reason behind the transition from "this is wonky but I think you're town" ---> "that was wonky and I want to lynch you"

Looks quite scummy imo. Mentions list of scum reads or would lynches and then randomly throws in "here are people that probably contain red but I'm not going to talk about them and they are shitting up the thread!" looks an awful lot like mafia throwing in mafia to reads. Hapa isn't even shitting up the thread and I'd say I'm at least being productive so it's odd that he'd mention it over other people that are far more detrimental.
I feel the opposite. Giving some suspects and then adding that you think one of these three is mafia but you're too lazy to figure it out right now doesn't seem like pushing something or a neat way to throw your buddies into a list. More like a "oh yeah and I think this too but it's not fleshed out" addendum to a real post.

i don't mind if it's different i'm just curious why it was such a completely off base thing to add to a post of scum suspects when it had no logical reasoning behind it and it wasn't even substantiated because he didn't even know who posted what
Curious is cool, but...doing that doesn't reads actively townie to me. A thrown-on "oh yeah and this".

I did. I just didn't terribly care. He clearly meant Scumeling when he said Alakaslam and anyone who wants to lynch Scumeling is town in my books.

Why haven't you read Scumeling's filter to see how obviously scum he is.
Because honestly everyone who has spent a bunch of posts sniping at each other makes me 0% motivated to read their stuff or listen to anything they say until they stop it and calm down.

So about this whole RNG thing, aren't scum players more likely to vote for OdinofPergo if he isn't in their faction since they don't even need a reason to vote him? They can just claim they're doing it for RNG and get a lynch on someone who isn't aligned with them?

Wouldn't a better way be to each claim we are RNG voting, then use the RNG on the post in which we claimed it and then vote for whomever our own post said? So that there is no way to know if you're going to lynch someone of your own faction or not so it's riskier for scum to go by RNG? Maybe I'm completely wrong here.

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???

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.


At the risk of being shouted at for setup talk, I'd be a bit disappointed if it was one scum faction. Cross-shooting (see BH's post) would be funnier.
(sort of acknowledgement that something he's doing might be scummy, doing it anyway for no reason but to add a little comment)

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

Oh no. Don't get me wrong. I had no clue how to read him last game, have 0 desire to or trust in any ability to put a meta to him. Just wanted to see whether you were overzealously pursuing this. If you told me you actually had meta I'd be worried.

Haha, I was just looking at hapa. Wants to see stuff from you before maybe moving to Odin, which would indicate that he's looking at the thread to see if you post anything.

But mtam is posting what mtam is posting, and hapa was JUST looking at mtam, and doesn't pop in for any kind of comment.

Spades? -_-

YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT ONE.

As for tam, I know I've made similar stream of consciousness posts as town after catching up on a large amount. Ya, they are usually pretty bad, but you find yourself gathering quotes of interest and then sharing your thoughts without realizing most of the things aren't really relevant anymore. I think the vote on poofter an hour before the lynch is pretty terrible. Overall, I see a player that is only interested in interacting with his little group and playing for personal amusement, but not necessarily scum yet.
Qua? What am I paying for?

How about his earlier stuff? There was nothing from you about him as a whole when I looked back through, although he was on a list of 4 dudes that...I think it was you saying MZ or WoS could look at. Something.

And I guess more specifically, you see him as catching up on a large amount?

I'm not really sure what you're asking here. Maybe clarify?
Nah, I'm left handed. If that's some kind of sheath thingy in his left hand, he'd be swordifying with his right? So, not me.


Basically, mtam is here and was moments ago a legitimate lynch candidate. I was all like, "I wonder what Kita said about mtam let's chat with kita if we can."

So I looked in your filter for stuff about mtam, which is annoying because you can't search for "tam" in your filter. When it comes to "tamb" though, you think his flip flop on mtam is worthy of a vote, say you're looking for an alternative to the mtam wagon, and that's it. When val comes up as an alternative to the mtam lynch (hapa earlier today EST), you're cool with hapa's post on why val might be scum, but still have said NOTHING about mtam. You don't gotta say everything about everyone, but ... you keep touching these things tangential to mtam (BlueyD's stance, a counterwagon) while giving nothing nothing nothing about mtam himself.

That's why I asked. In your response, you talk about mtam steam of consciousnessing CATCHING UP, his vote an hour before lynch.

I was looking for...more? Like/dislike his early game? What about the misspeaking thing? WHAT ABOUT MARV BEING A LAZY BUM AND NOT ANSWERING HIS OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT?

The other thing I should have specified and came out funky was me saying "you see him as catching up on a large amount?" What I mean is, you seem to be saying that mtam looks a little wonky because he caught up on a bunch of missed stuff, was posting stream of consciousness during that time. But he SPECIFICALLTY SAID he couldn't finish 70 pages in 4 hours, and he made LITTLE or NO catching up posts. There IS NO STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS imo. He answers a specific question about slam/BH, but he explicitly does NOT catch up, and I don't see the stream of consciousness anywhere, so now I want to poke you about this.

So when you say this

mtam afks a bunch, plays video mafia instead of this, comes back to being lynched, responds by posting some stuff that doesn't entirely make sense, then going to play LoL instead of ... catching up / more defending / anything.

Doesn't want to assign anyone back to me.

Is playful with posts but in a deliberately anti-town way, despite having no real reason to be glib/smug/anything. Still a perfectly legitimate lynch and chooses to taunt in a naughty naughty way, unlike the newbie games where he wants to be town leader and whatnot.

No bueno.

I hope that anyone and everyone who says that x will get modkilled so we shouldn't lynch them this game gets a relatively small poison ivy rash on an easy-to-scratch and not fully visible to the public place.

We always say that and it's ALWAYS warnings early on, we know this. How many times does anyone get modkilled for posting but not voting on D1?

Hey steveling, I would humbly suggest that the words "vet" and "blue", as well as the abbreviation "BH" be part of your vocabulary for like...7ish hours.

Could you look at...BlueyD and do a towniest/scummiest post, as well as how you overall feeeeeeel about BlueyD. It's like talking about the word "blue" but it has a y so it is better. All things are better with y and also ABBA.

Not really in the frame of mind, would have to look at hapa's posts etc to try and reference it. It was ages ago now but Duel Mafia (it wasn't called that, can't remember the name) by HiroPro was the last time I remember playing with Hapa mafia, and the summary I made near the end of my filter (i died N0) were the reasons I found him scummy if you want to search it out. It's not that illuminating iirc though, kinda "feels"
No, that's fine for now. If you've got something posted there or elsewhere that you know of I can hunt it down.

mtam,

how does that stuff affect vote analysis for you? You sort of say that the non-normal nature of the game MIGHT change things, say what a normal mafia team might do, but...it feels like there should then be some kind of conclusion. Is there a particular way you think voting would change in any of those possible settings?

i'd still be interested in cliff notes sometime marv.

Checking that game, there was a response to acro about a hapa suspicion on iamp being similar to another scum hapa game, a "he says x didn't splain himself when x did" and a "hasn't done anything to make me think town + defends himself too much"

Really just interested in like bullet points of what a town/scum hapa looks like, even if only one side is filled out and the other side is "not that."

The conclusions I hope to draw from vote analysis mixed with some night actions could hopefully draw a couple lines making the factions more easier to see. A lot of what happened yesterday and next 2 days will be important when trying to draw lines.

There were a couple of POI yesterday me being one of them which vote analysis is going to help.

BH made a very good post that I was somewhat thinking about, I have not been posting a lot and not making very clear and procise thoughts about stuff thats going on etc etc Id like to hear from the people who pulled off me to lynch someone else.

Me knowing I am town people pulling off me must of had a good reason too think I was town towards end of game and for the people that didnt vote for me must of had a good reason why odin was more scummier than me.
I AM A KIND AND HAPPY POSTER. I LIKED READING YOUR HAPPY POST IN YOUR NEWBIES. I ALSO KIND OF THINK HF IS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT MAYBE PEW PEWING YOU.

I would, in a kind and happy way, suggest that if you're going to analyze something or draw conclusions or talk about people of interest or whatever, you do so in a timely manner. Such that people can chat about it, or read it and perhaps shoot you harder/not shoot you, and so that you can be seen as Doing Things.

I asked because you were like "oh yeah, we need to take this into account when doing vote analysis" and then didn't say how you think it should be taken into account. My question above was for clarification on that point, and your response is "It should be taken into account, it will help in drawing lines." Which is again, not specific.

So. I propose we be KIND AND HAPPY posters, but that you should probably do some of the stuff or explain specifically what you even might do. I would also make the KIND AND HAPPY suggestion that, since you had a crapton to catch up on before the lynch and most likely didn't, it would perhaps be advantageous to catch up. I know that's a lot of reading, so it might also be FUN to just read every 5th page or something but then say something about what you read.

If you are town, we will make this a HAPPY and FUN game, and also you should try and do things that will make HF not want to shoot you, again, assuming gun.

If BH is super duper megascum, then he won't give you useful stuff or won't do anything, and you already think he's super duper megascum so you will shoot him or steve anyway.

If BH is not super duper megascum, then he's not super duper megascum based on what he's already done, and NOT doing all the vote stuff himself shouldn't make him scummier than someone else who was scummier previously. So he should never be your shot.

It seems like IF you are threatening the shot, BH either is or isn't the shot, and if he IS, then what he says shouldn't matter to you really.

I'm minorly down with the claim, but also the late in D1 way he was pushing his lynch (trying to meta OOP, actually responding to me honestly, being very energetic and whatnot), read more like town than mafia to me.

He didn't full-bore dick around, because he could have dicked around with me and instead he gave me an honest answer. There were 18,000 other lynches available with any pushing from him (assuming like 1-2 people don't join OOP if he starts spamming something else), and yet he continued on just doing his thing. It's not the helpful and ubertown BH I've only seen once but always remember and always judge him against (rock band i think). But he's not being absolutely useless, and he had the...townie amount of rabid devotion to his cause?

I am waiting on a thing xat but i have some stuff prepped that I was waiting for deadline.

However the MOST IMPORTANT thing I was gonna post is that I think we should stop referring to one of the players as "marv", and instead refer to him as "that elderly heterosexual peruvian man." This will perhaps make the game somewhat strange/interesting, and if he is town he will be driven to play, rather than do jack all. However, if this strategem does NOT make that elderly heterosexual peruvian man post and whatnot, it will still be slightly more than mildly amusing.

Hapa, anywhere near done with the next bit of analysis?

Wouldn't a better way be to each claim we are RNG voting, then use the RNG on the post in which we claimed it and then vote for whomever our own post said? So that there is no way to know if you're going to lynch someone of your own faction or not so it's riskier for scum to go by RNG? Maybe I'm completely wrong here.

This is the scummiest post in this thread by far.

It is extremely long, and could not be more useless. He's making a show of contributing to the town without actually providing anything in the way of analysis.

There's nothing constructive posting one's "reads" in this manner. It's just a giant mind-dump with a bunch of quotes - a format that no one could possibly pick any useful information out of.

On top of it, the actual content of the post just shits and shits on random things that players have said in the game. It's a very common type of post for mafia to make, and I'd like to see this guy dead.

Ritoky/Valenius

I've seen these two mentioned as possible scum candidates. Austin's case on Ritoky is somewhat compelling, however I don't think it takes into account the sheer difference between a mini-newbie game and a 32-person monster-spamfest. The wishy-washiness to me could be explained by how intimidating/confusing this thread is to a newer player. Hell I'm having problems keeping track of this myself, and I'm considered a "vet."

All and all, I agree that they're playing differently than their town metas have shown in the past, but I think that it could be explained by the difference in gametypes.


valenius is NOT PLAYING TO HIS TOWN META. Howeever, this "could be explained by the difference in gametypes." He's been scummy on valenius all day, for his play this game. Now valenius SHOULD be scummy for THIS GAME AND he doesn't match his town meta. Great. Hapa should be concluding dude is super scummy. What's hapa's conclusion? "it could be explained by the difference in gametypes". Note that he's NOT just saying this about ritoky, he's now expanding that comment to a guy he's been scummy on all day and has presented nothing townie about.

Hapa unvotes mtam late-ish into the day, as things are starting to coalesce around mtam / valenius, and right before the OOP thing picks up (i think).

This is a pretty good observation by OnceKing, and Valenius has slipped my mind for a while. Val really hasn't done much this game at all - a majority of his filter are short posts that have nothing to do with reads or scumhunting. A lot of +1's and idle questions. He does have one scum-hunting post...

Despite how much everyone seems to hate the whole RNGesus plan, his initial post on it was solid. It's misguided in that it would require everyone to take part.. which won't happen; but the theory is sound. It's easy enough for someone to test everyone else's post to make sure there's no tomfoolery occurring. Any switches (early or late) would draw suspicion. Somebody pulled him up on his switch to BH's plan 'with no posts in between', but that was bullshit. He'd been shown how it wouldn't work, so his switch was logical.

His first big post mostly makes sense. I agree with his points on RNG not being totally alignment indicative, and for me it's probably more like 60% town indicative. With most of the players in here, I don't think experienced scum would have much trouble causing a mislynch on day1. RNG is imo more likely to hit them than a lynch through the normal course of play - Unless they made a monumental slip-up.

Summary: Probably Town, like his thought process.

In the post he was replying to, i'd put the win condition was "Eliminate all Factions, which endanger town". The 'we need to kill them all' seems to have just ignored that. Not sure if slip, but thought i'd mention it.. 'when in Rome' and all.

Overall: I don't like how you've continued pushing the RNG as it's getting to the stage where most are ignoring you, although If anything I think it makes you more town than scum at this point.

Because he's scum.

And also because he's trying to hide and he's posting a lot of questions aimed at making people feel superior. Hence, he is a mafia trying to get people to ignore him and blend in.


I pretty much fully disagree. Steveling's done anything but try and blend in. The lover's tiff between him and Holyflare is one of the more dominant things that have happened so far. Maybe people will laugh, and maybe I'm overestimating the ability of some of you regulars/overusing my newbie reads, but it doesn't seem massively scummy.

You sound confident, enough that I think you have your eye on someone already. Care to share as to who it may be?


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 ome 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.



I find the last sentence a little bit contradictory. If you assume that you're in a game with people who will catch slips most of the time, then surely the talkative slippy mafia wouldn't last longer than the lurkers due to the talkative slippy nature of themselves? I don't know, maybe it's just my interpretation of the line, and maybe im understating the {if any) part.

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


I've said that the previous newbie games have stressed me out. I tried as hard as I could to look townie, including tunneling people just because I had one vote on me in day1. The game wasn't fun for me like that, so i'm not putting that level of effort in. I've had terrible reads on both day 1's ive played, and I don't have any better ones this game.

Gonna go read BH's case now.
This was val's only post in the meantime. Essentially, "I didn't have fun trying to look townie, so I'm not putting in much effort this time around."

That is ALL that Val posted between Hapa "wanting to see what he came up with" and changing his vote. Valenius has been a scumread of Hapa's all day (or a not-town person, which is...more or less the same). His play is unlike his newbie, where he was town. And Hapa was waiting to see what he posted, which was just the above. Hapa's conclusion is to change his vote to OOP, never commenting on anything about OOP really.

Okay great, so here are the bullet points if all that is too long:
  • hapa is scummy on valenius early, mid, late of D1.
  • Scummy play this game, and play that does not match a town past game
  • Hapa thinks this COULD be explained by newbie game --> large game jump


THEN

  • Hapa thinks Val is the lynch with a little while left to go
  • Says he'll swap to OOP depending on what Val posts
  • Val basically posts "it wasn't that fun to try real hard, so I'm not trying as hard this game"
  • Hapa switches votes


No bueno.


THEN THEN THEN

After the lynch, here's Hapa on Valenius...

From the lynch until now Hapahauli wrote:
austinmcc had to fill this space with words because hapa didn't write nothing about valenius


He wants to look at buildup to the lynch. Yellow is maybe odd, Slam is maybe odd, Cav looks interesting, Tambo looks interesting. He saw that people were suspicious of his actions during the lynch. He talks with Geript about BH's push on Odin (momentarily, not really "talks"). He saw marv/kita/BH on the OOP lynch. He's interested in slam's OOP vote.

Notice ALL of things have something in common. They say nothing nothing nothing about Valenius. Valenius, btw, jumped on the OOP wagon late. What did he have to say about BH's case and his OOP vote?

More so than Odin?


My comment there was more referring to my own original™ reads. BH's case on Odin is still where my vote is.
If you can't fill in the blanks, Valenius has a late vote on OOP without mentioning him beforehand, without saying ANYTHING other than he just likes BH's case. But despite hapa thinking Valenius was scum or possible scum ALL DAY, hapa unvotes Valenius for an unknown reason to vote OOP, and then after the lynch seems to ignore Valenius ENTIRELY, despite the fact that his earlier scumread is fitting this pattern that he's looking at for scum (but he only notices non-valenius people like slam and whatnot)


EXTRA TL;DR

Hapa finds valenius scummy
Never finds him town
Might be able to explain scumminess because of newbie --> large game jump
Never finds him town
Swaps off mtam late back to valenius because of a OnceKing post or two
Says he might swap to OOP depending on what Valenius posts
Valenius posts essentially nothing but saying he'll look at BH case
Hapa swaps vote to OOP without Valenius posting more

After lynch, Hapa is looking at the votes and whatnot for analysis
He does not pick out valenius as an early questionable person
Valenius super duper sheeped the BH case late late late in the day
Hapa does not appear to notice this, despite looking at slam for no real reason to vote OOP

This makes it appear that Hapa doesn't actually have a real read on Valenius, because his read/vote never develop in the right way. People who don't have real reads are making them up. Making reads up is bad and a mafia thing.

As far as non-hapa stuff

I'm worried about that elderly heterosexual peruvian man. Scummarv is sometimes particularly lazy. The only time I've seen someone really drop a multi-post big, fat, well-reasoned case on that elderly heterosexual peruvian man (don't remember game, was a mini, i think keirathi and hapa were in it and were the ones making the case?), it was about how that elderly heterosexual peruvian man gets really lazy after he plays scum a couple times in a row recently. Also, in general, scum that elderly heterosexual peruvian man is less posty and less helpful than town. Here, we have that elderly heterosexual peruvian man being decently not posty, just kind of piddling around in thread sometimes. He's being lazy and it's not good. Not DEFINITIVE mafia, but it's a negative overall. He's also not fully committing to either joining in when people are being dicks and spamming and whatnot (which i think SOMETIMES marv can do, see comments about offering blowjobs and whatnot). Nor is he committing to STOPPING people from messing up the thread. Nor is he committed to ... much at all. He is NOT 100% connected to Hapa, I find it weird that he won't talk about hapa to me, but ... oh well. Anyway, suspicious of that elderly heterosexual peruvian man.

mtam still suspicious. The behavior doesn't fit mafia OR town to me, like...who returns from being nearly lynched and basically thumbs his nose at the thread, then leaves again. Nobody. Overall though, his reaction to the lynch was no bueno. He's ANGRY that people would lynch him the moment he gets back, kinda ANGRY about having to catch up on so many pages. But he basically does NOTHING except flick off the thread for the rest of the day and then the night. Not the right response, imo, of someone trying to solve game/put pieces together. Yes, it's not a perfect fit as "this is exactly what scum would do!", but it's WRONG and the mindset behind it reads not townie. When offered a bridge, he doesn't really take it, doesn't start playing, doesn't ask me to read anyone. I think he's a candidate tomorrow but NOT the guaranteed lynch. Scum should be yelling at him, telling him to dig himself out of his hole, and instead he just digs deeper. So...don't sleep on him being town, get him playing, get him posting, read him. Easiest thing in the world for mafia to just say he's being an ass and not acting townie, but his actions don't fit SCUM 100% either, and so more needs to be said/discussed.

Don't like geript so far, but he's not a major candidate. He needs to STOP this crap though, because he can actually play.

Don't like Foolishness's long absences and his "I'm just not really gonna read the thread" bit. Really found that post of his on slam weird, but that doesn't MEAN anything, it's just weird.



WHATEVER THAT'S KIND OF A SMALL LIST AND NOT AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE

People I like:

HolyFlare. Not 100% pushing game forward, but doing a good bit of it, making lists again and updating EVERYONE on the list (which reads like trying to solve the game). He also keeps popping in with things that I was thinking, or wanting to talk to people I wanted to talk to. Good good good. Townie townie.

MZ. MZ's early game good. MZ's play this game feels unlike PYP: LoL. Overall I just like MZ's stuff this game.

Valenius. I actually believe in the toilet read.

Steveling. Needs to KNOCK IT OFF with all the spam and with interacting with Geript and BH. Please please. If you don't talk to them or interact with them, you will 100% not get killed and you can help. If you keep doing that crap, it makes thread hard to read AND makes you harder to read, so ... you shouldn't. Please please please?

kush. Kush's filter is tiny and not too helpful, but it reads like the right amount of giving no fucks and giving out fuck yous. He complains a little about spamminess, which is fine by me. He complains when people can't understand arguments, which is fine by me. He's not DOING anything really, but in a way that strikes me as town.

Smurf Hydra Guy - ALso not super active, but in a similar vein as HF, was thinking some things that I thought were good thinks. Also, the comment about me being paranoid and so wondering if the Foolishness hydra is REALLY Foolishness reads town to me. He's not pushing my alignment, he's just dropping this note that he thinks might be important. Although I don't think me being paranoid means anything, him dropping that little note is nice and it felt like he was actually trying to understand my alignment.

I think I thought sqrt was town to for some strong-ish reason but I don't remember it.

Austin, I brought up my own reads on hapa for pretty much the first half of your post, coming to pretty much the same conclusions on him.

Side note though: I was alright for following the rng lynch earlier on, hence my "Same destination, just a different journey" after voting.
I know. But I had that all typed up and was trying to wait until the resolution deadline, and also I'm good at being pushy with scumreads. I saw what you wrote, think you're town right now, but I can add a shoulder behind the hapa-is-mafia-mobile to push it.

@ Austin

I still don't find Valenius town. My vote-switch at the end is entirely explained by my travel schedule and my lack of time to post anything of substance in the last minute scramble. I posted two of my last 3 posts from traffic, and my vote post from a rest-stop.

I made the fact that I would be busier than normal this game both before the game and the lynch. I really don't know how I could make it any clearer than that.
It's not just the absence or the swap in and of itself. And I fully believe that you've got travel going on.

It's more just...rather than saying "Gotta travel, dunno what happens", you said that AND "I'ma see what Valenius posts." The second makes the swap seem more like just a swap for no reason, rather than a time-crunch thing, because you WERE scummy on Valenius so it's not like you needed to get your vote off him, and he WAS a legit candidate at the time (i think, although he'd lost some votes)

Even if there was travel and the vote and whatnot, your play AFTER the lynch doesn't match. You don't find him town, and he's one of the last voters on OOP, and he votes for NO REASON really except saying he likes the BH case. This is what you call Slam out on, but you don't seem to notice that this guy you've been scummy all day on did THE SAME THING. If you were really watching Valenius as possible scum, I would expect you to notice his late swap for no real reasons, and be on his case as much/more than Slam.

And furthermore, that case by you Austin really doesn't say much about me being mafia.

Consider this: I am a factional player and I believe Valenius to be of another faction. Why would I not attempt to tunnel my top scumread to death and push my objective? Hell pushing Valenius would point MORE to be being mafia in this game.

Instead, I tried to do something pro-town in what little time I had and help the consolidation onto another lynch. Am I happy with the way it turned out? Not really. I should have taken far more time to read BH"s post, instead of reading it once quickly, seeing a bunch of vote swaps, and going with the flow.
Making up reads is a mafia thing. Town don't make up reads. Your Valenius stuff doesn't read like someone who legitimately has a suspicion and is watching that guy. I don't necessarily think your swap was pro-town (after all, you thought and think valenius is scum), but mainly I don't care as much about the swap as I do the progression of your thoughts on Valenius. They make it appear your read is made up.

I don't have a lot of other thoughts, other than to try and watch Steveling if I'm dead, see if he continues to be very spammy in ways that interact with Geript/BH. If he is, he should be eliminated. If he doesn't, I think he's town.

Geript should do less of that crap too. If he doesn't, see above.


BH should be left alone until he actually plays mafia. He could be town, he COULD be some small 3P faction and is just trying to look wacky enough that town won't lynch him (bolstered by claim) and that scum won't shoot him (not REALLY a threat, and a possible mislynch mebbe). Might make a good rolecop check if we have someone, because it's POSSIBLE he just has a sexy role and wants to survive and thinks this is the way to do it. Mainly though I just think we should all shun him and ignore everything he posts and see what happens, because interacting with him and talking about him don't really seem to be taking the thread anywhere.

you're not addressing his case/premise
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.
Things that townies do:

Hunt scum
Be dumb
Spam
Claim dumb stuff
Shoot other townies with KP
Rest of a giant list

Things that townies just DO NOT DO:
Fabricate reads without having some kind of short/medium-term trap plan.

I would agree that scum can scumhunt this game and doesn't HAVE to be falsifying reads. That doesn't change the fact that if a read LOOKS falsified or IS falsified, then it is INCREDIBLY LIKELY to have come from mafia. Town DO NOT make up reads without a trap purpose, and you've exhibited no trap purpose at all. Whether it's the best mafia play ever is irrelevant, because it's NOT town play.

Hapa, I'd be interested more in your thoughts on that elderly heterosexual peruvian man than on defense, just for the moment. We can also keep chatting about you, but i THINK you were in that game that I'm thinking off with marv and keirathi and folks where marv got caught?

He was afk for like half of D1, I think we lynched vaderseven D1, and he was part of like a 2-man scum team or something, him and maybe iamp?

It's not "The Swap."

It's the whole entire THING. He's mafia, you put him aside but he's still mafia, then he MIGHT be explained by the small --> large game jump (even though he's scummy this game AND doesn't match his newbie play). You pick him back up after dropping mtam, but only after OnceKing points him out.

(OH YEAH HEY THREAD I LIKED ONCEKING'S STUFF BEFORE LYNCH AND IT FELT LIKE HE WAS FINALLY GETTING ACTIVE AND TRYING TO GET A GOOD LYNCH AND SOLVE THE GAME AND I ALSO THINK HE'S PRETTY DARN TOWN)

But then he's dropped for OOP, despite being a scumread of yours all day and continuing to be a scumread. And when you go to look at votes and whatnot, you talk about kita/MZ/marv and slam and yellow but NOT valenius. In all honesty, the fact that Valenius just seems to slip your mind, despite being a big scumread, and despite doing basically what slam did, is the thing that MOST pushes in favor of this being all made up.

It's not the vote. It's more. And it's mainly, for me, the post-lynch response.

So you mean marv? I have my eye on him after reading the game again, mostly because I didn't see him push any objectives today.

The problem is that I'm not sure that it's a scumtell in this setup.
Yeah, that elderly heterosexual peruvian man. No push.

Putting aside that we don't know the actual setup, how do you think multi-faction changes his behavior?

Yeah yeah, sorry. We're both trying to reply to everything. Heck, you can choose.

I'm interested in your thoughts on that elderly heterosexual peruvian man. Please. We can make this moniker catch on.

As far as defense, I'm mainly interested in post-lynch thoughts. Not the vote, not any of that, but mainly why he doesn't catch your eye like slam and co. do.

Post lynch Valenius - didn't mention him, because my thoughts are ALWAYS on the votes first and foremost post-lynch. I almost always mulligan my reads after Day 1 and start fresh. Bad concrete actions by players (i.e. votes) ALWAYS take precedence over Day 1 meta cases on players that could be lynchbait.

How does the above mesh with the below? (I KNOW I'M KINDA SWAPPING SUBJECTS HERE BUT...BLECH)

Hm. That lynch result was unfortunate. Though the good news is that we have a lot of material to work with - these crazy late vote swaps always generate good information.

I'll be reading the buildup to the lynch tomorrow, as I just drove 8 hours and I'm dead tired. My first instinct is to look into players on the Odin wagon that followed Blazinghand's RNG lynch as opposed to lynching Odin for actually being suspicious of him. Yell0w stuck with his early RNG vote on Odin despite having several other scum-reads in his filter. Alakaslam never mentioned a scum-read on Odin either (other the RNG stuff). Not sure if that's just Slam being Slam, but that's objectively pretty terrible.

Obviously there are more people to look into than the two I mentioned above - Cavalihno's case looks interesting at first glance, and I'll need to verify that myself after I get some sleep. Tambo essentially wasting his vote late in the cycle is also very bad.


Since several people expressed concern about my own actions during the lynch, I can't defend myself other than simply not being able to post while driving on a highway. My travel schedule today was terrible, and I really wish I could have been around for the deadline.

Instead, I had a very short time to get acquainted with BlazingHand's case, saw a bunch of reputable players follow it, and kinda just went with the flow. Given the result and hindsight, I very much regret how it played out, but there was very little I could do today to help it.

Slam - if you're around, talk to me about the lynch yesterday. You seemed to be active the hours leading up to deadline, and you had your vote on Odin. Yet I can't find anywhere in your filter that you thought Odin was suspicious. The only mentions of Odin in your filter are towards the beginning (RNG lynch stuff).

Sticking with the RNG lynch all day (despite being quite active in thread) does not look very good.
I can understand immediately looking for bad actions/votes, but you notice Yellow and Slam had sort of nothing-votes.

Ah crap. Here.
Yell0w stuck with his early RNG vote on Odin despite having several other scum-reads in his filter.
Yellow stuck out to you early because he had other scum-reads in his filter but voted OOP for RNG

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


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

Her intention is to try and play as honestly as possible. Which again, is not a bad thing from a town perspective, but if you roll scum and try to play with the least amount of lies possible, it will be hard. The point of interest here is her admitting her annoyance to being called out on her play. She encourages others to share the reasons on hers, yet withholds her own for "reasons", are excused as:

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.


While I definitely agree with the logic behind it, her reasoning doesn't seem sincere. It's as if she wants to put content into the thread, but avoid (for now), making any decisions that may come to haunt her play later. Specifically: She doesn't want to be read as scum. Obviously, no town player does, but her play is (even self-admittingly) aimed at not being read as scum. Even if you are read as scum as a townie, it doesn't mean you can't manage to prove your town-ness. Surely, it's an uphill battle, but for someone putting as much effort as her in the game seems unlikely to be _that_ scared of being a misread as a town. Rather, I feel the fear comes from other players correctly reading her as scum.

Analysis break: My questions, the reasons behind it, and my conclusions of her replies.

Confirming one thing, are you asking for my reasons as for:

Well I assume you are voting me because you are reading me as mafia.

So, why are you reading me as mafia?


The first exchange. My question here aims at finding the natural level of her thought process. It may not be the best comparison, but think about chess. What I'm aiming to find here is whether she thinks about:

1) The current move
2) The reasons behind the current move
3) The follow-up to the current move

Or a multitude of the above. As you can see, she instantly jumps into an assumption that I vote her because I read her as mafia. She doesn't take her thought process further (into different possibilities), into questions such as:

"Would he vote for me for a reason other than suspecting me as mafia?"

Instead, she takes it for granted that I suspect her to be mafia. It fits well with her wanting to play as honestly as possible, trying not to doubt the claims of others. This I feel is a trait belonging to the person.

So here I establish the fact that she doesn't think things ahead. Her thought process is not zero though, but considering the current step with the information given to her comes more naturally. (There are people who naturally start thinking multiple steps ahead.)

Even if my replies seem very off to you, please do respond. You're under evaluation.


If you don't consider me as mafia, you shouldn't be voting me.

The only reason outside of you considering me as mafia for why you would vote for me is this: you want to get a read on me via my reactions to your voting on me to see if I react poorly or more town favored. This is only used if you don't have a read on me from what I've previously posted.

This can also lead to reads from other people if they begin questioning you or agreeing with you.

So again, why are you reading me as mafia?


Here is my followup. My question is intentionally aimed to hint at a possibility of thinking outside the box. As I came into the conclusion that she doesn't naturally by instinct start thinking things too many steps ahead, I wanted to see the reaction that would come after hinted towards doing such.

Her response is quite interesting. She does correctly analyze on scenario, that is, if I didn't have a proper read and wanted to gain more information on her. There are many others she does not think about however. What I'm most interested in, is this crucial miss: She does not at all consider a possibility where I am scum. Ding ding, alarm bells anyone?

Note how she points out that if I don't really consider her as mafia, I shouldn't be voting for her. Yet at the end of her post, she asks why I'm reading her as mafia. This means that she thinks (knows?) of me being a town player suspecting her, rather than any other possibility. Why could I not be a scum player trying to start a wagon on her? She doesn't even go through this option at all, even after being hinted to think outside the box. It's as if she knows I'm town. That's not possible unless she's scum.

On to my third question:

One last question before I will answer your question.

I already know you read me as town. If you had a strong scumread on me however, would you go all-out to make me the lynch of the day right away?


I like how confident you are in yourself. As for reading you as town, that's yet to be determined.
If I had a strong scumread on you, yes, I would probably push on you to get you lynched. As for right away, it depends. If I think I can have support, I'll push right away. If I don't think I'll have any support, I'd need t find evidence that can prove or atleast put into speculation that you are mafia.

So, your answer?


This question was mainly to confirm. I was fairly certain that she does not intentionally downplay her ability to mislead her opponent. Combined with the logical deduction of her naturally not thinking ahead, and with her honest tendency to answer questions, I have no reason to believe she'd be lying about this one either. It would be possible to downplay or not reveal your scumread to try and trap a person into a situation which essentially confirms them as scum to other players, or many shenanigans of the kind. Her response however is strictly related to her own confidence about her read. If she's sure about her read, she'll go for it (no downplaying). If she's unsure, she'll work to be able to trust her read enough to convince others. (Upping her own play.)

With this I come into the conclusion that she is not downplaying her abilities when responding to others, or in any questions that she replied to me. This is exactly why I consider the 2nd question where she does NOT EVEN CONSIDER ME AS POSSIBLE SCUM extremely alarming. Also take in consideration how interested in she is in the reasons why I suspect her to be mafia. She doesn't just ignore and wait for me to actually provide something, but she actively asks for it again and again. If not combined with the above, I would see this as a townie trait, but I feel she is trying to get to know her mistakes/flaws in early play so she doesn't make the same mistakes later on.

TLDR:

1) Is afraid of being seen as scum
2) Extremely co-operative due to not wanting to be looked upon badly, refer to point 1.
3) Ignores the possibility of the player questioning her being scum.
4) When suspected, wants to know the flaws in her play to not repeat the mistake later

Like literally, for one moment she doesn't think I could be scum trying to push her for mislynch.

27ninjabunnies is mafia, and needs to be lynched. My vote stays where it is.

Opinions?


Goddamn bunnies back to scummy now, I need you to pretend your formaled and defend yourself. He brings up all the points I wanted to kill yellow in other game. Do I need to claim Bird Jesus again and say im going to shoot you and see if I get roleblocked?


She quote's ceph's giant case on Bunnies and basically blindly agrees with it. There's no indication in this post that she's actually read the damn thing - it's almost like she looks at the case, sees it's big, and just sheeps it.

Furthermore, the bolded comment is incredibly strange, given that yellow flipped town in the game in-question. You'd think she would exhibit more pause after wanting to lynch a townie for similar rationale, but instead she bolsters her suspicions with it... that just makes very little sense from a town perspective.

Of all the points against her, I think this is the most compelling.


Ritoky/Valenius

I've seen these two mentioned as possible scum candidates. Austin's case on Ritoky is somewhat compelling, however I don't think it takes into account the sheer difference between a mini-newbie game and a 32-person monster-spamfest. The wishy-washiness to me could be explained by how intimidating/confusing this thread is to a newer player. Hell I'm having problems keeping track of this myself, and I'm considered a "vet."

All and all, I agree that they're playing differently than their town metas have shown in the past, but I think that it could be explained by the difference in gametypes.




"I've seen these two mentioned as possible scum candidates." - What?!? You were pushing me early on when nobody else except MZ really was, and you seem like you've just rediscovered that you think im scummy?

You then seem to completely drop off me:

This is a pretty good observation by OnceKing, and Valenius has slipped my mind for a while.

Despite how much everyone seems to hate the whole RNGesus plan, his initial post on it was solid. It's misguided in that it would require everyone to take part.. which won't happen; but the theory is sound. It's easy enough for someone to test everyone else's post to make sure there's no tomfoolery occurring. Any switches (early or late) would draw suspicion. Somebody pulled him up on his switch to BH's plan 'with no posts in between', but that was bullshit. He'd been shown how it wouldn't work, so his switch was logical.

His first big post mostly makes sense. I agree with his points on RNG not being totally alignment indicative, and for me it's probably more like 60% town indicative. With most of the players in here, I don't think experienced scum would have much trouble causing a mislynch on day1. RNG is imo more likely to hit them than a lynch through the normal course of play - Unless they made a monumental slip-up.

Summary: Probably Town, like his thought process.

In the post he was replying to, i'd put the win condition was "Eliminate all Factions, which endanger town". The 'we need to kill them all' seems to have just ignored that. Not sure if slip, but thought i'd mention it.. 'when in Rome' and all.

Overall: I don't like how you've continued pushing the RNG as it's getting to the stage where most are ignoring you, although If anything I think it makes you more town than scum at this point.

Because he's scum.

And also because he's trying to hide and he's posting a lot of questions aimed at making people feel superior. Hence, he is a mafia trying to get people to ignore him and blend in.


I pretty much fully disagree. Steveling's done anything but try and blend in. The lover's tiff between him and Holyflare is one of the more dominant things that have happened so far. Maybe people will laugh, and maybe I'm overestimating the ability of some of you regulars/overusing my newbie reads, but it doesn't seem massively scummy.

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 ome 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.



I find the last sentence a little bit contradictory. If you assume that you're in a game with people who will catch slips most of the time, then surely the talkative slippy mafia wouldn't last longer than the lurkers due to the talkative slippy nature of themselves? I don't know, maybe it's just my interpretation of the line, and maybe im understating the {if any) part.

Reasons that I don't buy - to get town points, to buddy you, whatever. Reasons I can actually buy - at some point, a shitty thread may be good for mafia, but even mafia has to not want to read super duper shitty threads.

His talk with you does read like he's legitimately concerned about what you're doing, not just getting town points.


As far as why I can think you could be not-town, it's because I don't find you to be a shit poster or anything, and you're just continuing to do stuff that you have to know is anti-town. I can't go having a pookie pie who rolls town and chooses to much with the thread.

But he doesn't vote tamburini... or anyone. Despite being active ~5 hours before lynch deadline. He comes back in the thread, makes several posts that provide very little content, then is gone.

I realize that Yell0w has been considered lynchbait in the past, but goddamn voting RNG over a very clear scumread (tambo) is a pretty glaring scumtell.

Steveling, why are hapa / mtam not in the discussion? As far as BH/MZ, if Isaac IS a main character of this thing, then it's LIKELY that's his role. Is Isaac a burn-y dude? There's the possibility that he knows it's not in the game b/c it's a fakeclaim his team got or something, but those are really the only two options. Otherwise you'd never claim something that could be easily counterclaimed, especially when you've had a wacky day so you're PROBABLY gonna get lynched before the counterclaimer.

Hey Austin, I want you to explain two things to me:

Reasons that I don't buy - to get town points, to buddy you, whatever. Reasons I can actually buy - at some point, a shitty thread may be good for mafia, but even mafia has to not want to read super duper shitty threads. The you vs. BH vs. steveling stuff could be toned down about 5 levels and still make thread slightly less legible, so I don't see it as full negative to try and get people to tone things down.

His talk with you does read like he's legitimately concerned about what you're doing, not just getting town points.


As far as why I can think you could be not-town, it's because I don't find you to be a shit poster or anything, and you're just continuing to do stuff that you have to know is anti-town. I can't go having a pookie pie who rolls town and chooses to much with the thread.

Votes Odin pretty early in the game in support of the "RNG lynch" thing.

13 hours later, he has scumreads! He very specifically has a STRONG scumread on tamburini and has seemingly a very good reason to vote him right away.

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.

But he doesn't vote tamburini... or anyone. Despite being active ~5 hours before lynch deadline. He comes back in the thread, makes several posts that provide very little content, then is gone.

I realize that Yell0w has been considered lynchbait in the past, but goddamn voting RNG over a very clear scumread (tambo) is a pretty glaring scumtell.


...because I think it's very strong, and much stronger than my case on Valenius. Someone voting RNG over their articulated scumreads is the most eye-catching things I can think of in a mafia game.

As for Valenius - again, I think he is scum, but I have less concrete evidence to believe so. And hell, someone being suspicious of me is not a scumtell. Why on earth would that factor into my decisionmaking when reading him? Sure I'm suspicious of him for his lack of content elsewhere, but just for the case? No way.

Steve why would hapa and mtam not be in the discussion today or topics of discussion?

Also, do you make anything about mtam's return? You're in the position to know exactly how YOU think if someone goes "I'm going to shoot this guy overnight." mtam was super duper duper targeted by HF, who appeared more serious than other threateners.

If you thought you were really going to be shot, how do you act that night, and how do you act upon seeing yourself not shot?

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:

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...

Okay, I've played games with both tambo and val, and here's what I've got so far.

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.

He's not there in your immediately followup. The later analysis may have him as scummy, but he still drops from your mind then and slam/yellow pop up for behavior that he exhibited while pushing you.

What do you think of sqrt's post-lynch behavior Hapa?

Also, I agree with your overall framework for kush, but not your conclusion. I think there IS some playful stuff, I think he's complaining just the right amount and he pops in for ... non-mafia stuff? Mafia can complain about spam all day, can complain about all sorts of stuff, can encourage bad behavior, instead kush, among other things, tries to pop in and explain whatever that bit was about you and geript and someone and when things are usually town or not.

sqrt thought getript was talking about himself
getript was actually talking abotu hapa

SO THE READING COMPREHENSION PROBABEM WAS WITH SQRT

this is pointless btw

Who's not in my followup? Valenius? Who the hell cares if he's in my followup?

Like do you seriously not understand that players are capable of reacting to new, more important, and more reliable information?
What new, more important, and more reliable information?

If you say "people who dropped shitty votes for shitty reasons" or ANYTHING in that wheelhouse ---> yellow having scumreads of his own but just going with an RNG vote, slam basically not mentioning OOP then voting for him

then VALENIUS, THE DUDE YOU WERE SCUMMY ON, DID THE EXACT SAME THING. He was scummy on you, worried about mtam earlier in the day, and he returns to make a case on you one minute and then THE NEXT MINUTE EXACTLY vote OOP, after never mentioning him, just to sheep BH's case.


So if I'm supposed to understand that you can temporarily go looking outside your scumreads for people who just did a scummy thing, then...what I'm saying is that group of people that did that thing INCLUDES YOUR SCUMREAD. The dude that is a scumread AND does the new, more important, more reliable thing should be THE BIG FAT MEGA SCUMREAD AT THE TOP OF YOUR MIND.

I don't particularly care right now why people voted Odin.

If nothing else, i think people's reasoning on mtam and valenius is EQUALLY IMPORTANT. We basically came down to end of day with a couple candidates, 3 of em, and no other legitimate lynches. If someone has good ideas on mtam and valenius, and reads em both town, then they are 100% fine by me to vote OOP for no reason whatsoever, because he's the only non-town option for them out of 3.

But if we lynch everyone who has crappy reasons to vote Odin we'll be here until 17 days after the game has already ended one way or the other. I'm valuing other stuff more.

Steveling. PLEASE. BH is not getting lynched today, not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin. He's unlikely mafia with what he's saying. PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE. No blue. No BH. No Isaac. No nothing.

Some people in this game are MAFIA. If you are town they want to SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE.

EVEN IN THE SCENARIO WHERE BH IS MAFIA, ALL THAT YOUR POSTING IS DOING IS LETTING MAFIA THROW A BUNCH OF CRAP INTO THE THREAD. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE THREAD AND IT'S ACTIVELY NOT GOOD FOR CATCHING BH IF HE'S MAFIA. IT'S JUST GOOD FOR MAKING A MESS.

Please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I can super relate to being overly paranoid and finding connections in odd places. In my first large game, I thought one guy might be scum because he mentioned it was difficult to type. I found out that one of the villians in the show that was the theme had a bandaid on his head. I would not shut up for a day or so about how he was mafia, but did not know his teammates and they had to find each other, thus, he was signalling his teammates he was mafia by referring to the bandaid. It was not true. It was also incredibly ridiculous.

Really though that all caps paragraph. It's true. If he's mafia, this isn't helping to lynch him or catch him or anything. It's bad for us. If he's not mafia, still bad for us. All of this assumes right now that you are town. If you are mafia, carry on.

I'm only asking why he revealed his role since he knew that he can be recruited.
Is this a bad question?
I will say that if he's truthful and says yes, then that's BAD FOR US BECAUSE SCUM COULD RECRUIT SOME DUDE THAT IS APPARENTLY IMPORTANT. If he's truthful and says no, then scum know not to try.

If he lies, we're SOL anyway because we don't know what the truth is.

We also have no way of telling whether he's truthful or lying. So at BEST it gives us nothing, and at WORST the more BH talks about this, the better an idea scum get of how to deal with BH and maybe slam and maybe that elderly heterosexual peruvian guy now.

Unless you have any way of knowing whether he's being truthful, then you asking questions

MIGHT get you answers

that

MIGHT be true

and you will

NEVER know whether they are true or false

and it

MIGHT give information to mafia


Unless you fully trust him to be town, you don't have any idea whether he's being truthful or jerking the ENTIRE GAME around for another 48 hours. Episode 2 of the BH show. If scum is super mega afraid of him, they will killify him, and we will be able to see that he was truthful.

You could also lynch him because you want to know if he's town and being truthful. That is a bad plan.

I actually keyed in on this:

Fool is town, building them cases.
Fool has cases on mtam and kush. Bluey agrees with the kush case, but isn't sure on mtam.

So really, there are two cases and Bluey likes one, dislikes the other, and considers Fool to be town for nothing more than building cases (at least in the above)

We've already established that we're in a multi-faction game, and therefore scum can scumhunt other factions, which means that making cases in and of itself, even GOOD cases, doesn't mean what it normally would.

If Bluey actually knows Foolish at all, he'd also know that scum Foolish doesn't never build cases, he's more than willing to put together long cases on townies OR on mafia buddies, because he HAS to, otherwise he'd be incredibly obvious.



There's a lot more to the post than that, but the Fool read stuck out to me. It also made me go look back for Bluey's thoughts on mtam. Bluey, what were you referring to with this post?

I haven't super mega duper checked every page, but as this point poofter had a vote on mtam for no real reason, Foolish had not posted his mtam case thing until about 2 hours after, and hapa hadn't posted his mtam case. At the very least, there wasn't an mtam case that drew votes, but there may be one floating somewhere that I don't remember.

Meh, a few strange things in thrawn's filter (talks about "tambo" being lynchable then asks "who is tambo?" 3 posts down, zero explanation on switch to Odin but it's probably just BH's case) but nothing I feel I can build a case on. The early stuff is just thrawn being thrawn. Nullish read.

Slam why do you say Yellow is incredibly trusting? Cuz he puts his trust in BH's RNG lynch before a case is even made, even though he has some scumreads? Isn't that your case as well?
At least for me, it's my most-townie thing in Bluey's filter. For all the weird thrawn stuff where thrawn apparently has magical powers and will awake to destroy all the mafia and end the world in a town victory or won't show magical powers and is therefore scum, BlueyD at this point IS looking at thrawn's filter, and appears to be looking critically. He could always throw out these thrawn reads about how magical powers will active, but this post looks like Bluey actually examining thrawn, and catching a particularly minor/funky point that nobody else brought up/saw.

That's what mafia do and they do so well: tell the town they are sucking, running in circles, or needlessly fighting with each other. It's an easy thing to say and makes it look like they are helping when they aren't. And that's how you catch someone doing that, when they say what the town's problem is but not doing anything to help.

And specifically, what should a townKush to to help with the spam/infighting?

I feel like your case is half "here is kush's meta and how he's scummy" and then this bit of "here is general town/scum stuff", but I want to know if you think they match up.

If you think scum generally will complain and do nothing to help the town AND you just read a bunch of kush games and feel like you know kush's meta, do the two match up? Does a townKush actually do something to help town when he complains?

If kush is known for giving zero fucks as a player, that would indicate to me that you can't apply the general rule about town/scum fixing something. I'm not liking how you take both "kush is mafia" sides in your post without noticing that, or without squaring it up.

Does the above make sense to you though? It's more about Foolishness and him saying, all within one post,

Kush is known for giving zero fucks
Townies try to solve the problem (i.e. give fucks), scum do not
Kush is not trying to solve the problem
That's not okay and points towards being mafia

I think the roles are given out randomly and not based on player skill?
Normally there's some consideration for balance. I would not expect a possible Sandroba, Foolishness, and the elderly heterosexual peruvian to be of one faction.

I think a little less strongly that both hydras wouldn't be one alignment. Town hydras strong, town hydras with strong players super strong.

The only issue with this game is the closed setup, so it would be possible that things are balanced around town having strong PLAYERS. But the game would have to be designed BEFORE it was posted, so you wouldn't know who would sign up or hydra, and I don't think you'd balance in light of that. You'd already be set.

Most games are balanced. Most themed games even. PYP somewhat of a different animal though because you can offer a suite of roles that interact with each other, but you never know what order people will pick and what roles everyone can get.

Are you legit just arguing that you think more games are random than balanced?

Hapa, I get what you're specifically saying about yellow being scummy on mtam but not moving from his RNG vote over to mtam when mtam is a lynch option.

But I like his little comments.

I still like the early, "Okay, but can't we create a BETTER RNG system?" post. I like his all caps sarcasm lynch thing. He even comes BACK to the RNG thing in responding to Poofter/BlueyD, saying not only that he doesn't think RNG lynching is scummy, but actively arguing FOR RNG lynches.
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.
That bit is both following up about RNG lynches, "I asked about x and nobody answered me", indicating to me that he is generally interested in this thing and thinks it could be good and is kinda miffed that people didn't answer. He's also pro-RNG in thinking that the no-fun argument is bad.

I don't....he thinks BlueyD's case is bad, was weak, but he doesn't say anything about BlueyD's alignment there. Don't like that.

Catches that Kita is missing a post from BlueyD about mtam, the one where Bluey says "burini", causing Kita to miss something. Generally good unless BlueyD mafia and then POSSIBLE indication that they're same team, that he's overly familiar with BlueyD despite having no read on BlueyD above. Likes the case on BlueyD and votes him, indicating that's not a likely possibility (both same team), and therefore, catching kita's screwup on BlueyD is a positive.

I also generally just like his response to marv? I think it's a legitimate distinction to draw, that he can complain about folks having no opinion but voting, whereas he has no opinion but isn't voting?


Hapa do you think yellow's filter, on the WHOLE is scummy?

It happens pretty frequently, mainly as a side note.

If you think I am saying "Foolishness seems scummy here SOLELY BECAUSE the other hydra was town and the list of veteran-y players has a bunch of towns in it at this point" then you are mistaken and not reading my posts and I don't like that.

What do you make of Foolishness saying that kush is known for giving no fucks, and then in the same posts saying that his not caring to try and improve the game/fix his concerns is a point against him?

matt/fool hydra feels likely to me right now. Opting out of reading the thread and into only reading certain requests is kinda meh, but doesn't really point in any direction for me.

I really don't like that progression in his kush case AT ALL. I also don't like the way Xatalos is going about sorta-defending him here. Arguing that balance is unlikely is not an honest argument to me, like...whether the game is balanced or not and whether we can do any setup gaming or not, I think it's strange to just argue that balance is unlikely. He also likes fool for a case I dislike, and in talking about him now never seems to consider that I'm not purely looking at FOolishness right now because of balance, but mainly it's that case that got my squinting at him. He says nothing about what I'm saying about Foolishness, despite me having a couple posts in a row on it and despite him liking that case and now someone directly attacking the case and the case-maker.


thrawn is...dunno. I want him to interact with me. Last time that happened I got a really clear read on him, and I'm paranoid that he's avoiding it because of that.

And saying less.

Agree/disagree that Foolishness is double-dipping or whatever, saying kush is scummy on meta, that part of his meta is not giving a crap, and then calling him scummy for not giving a crap in trying to fix his complaints.

This is a correct read but drawing the wrong conclusion; you've essentially given the tl;dr of my case but you didn't do the history check to see what it means for him.

As I indirectly said above, what you said is indicative of his mafia play, not his town play. I think we can all agree that Kush is someone who always makes spammy, aggressive one-liners and in general just gives zero fucks. So there's not much to be garnered from that.

However this is something to be garnered from how many reads he gives and thoughts about the players in the game. Let me demonstrate this by example. In our game I gathered all the posts where he directly says "I think person X is town/mafia". There's a total of two posts (maybe 3 if I missed one).

This is the scummiest post in this thread by far.

It is extremely long, and could not be more useless. He's making a show of contributing to the town without actually providing anything in the way of analysis.

There's nothing constructive posting one's "reads" in this manner. It's just a giant mind-dump with a bunch of quotes - a format that no one could possibly pick any useful information out of.

On top of it, the actual content of the post just shits and shits on random things that players have said in the game. It's a very common type of post for mafia to make, and I'd like to see this guy dead.

Sure it was only focused on certain people, one of them including me, but its nt unlikely for him to include me specifically in his reads because we play video mafia together.

Some of his reads were pretty good, and I like it questioning, though I completely agree some of it was filler.


The problem with his post isn't necessarily that every little bit of info is terrible. The problem is the presentation and scope.

Firstly, it's almost designed to be the least efficient/effective way of communicating one's reads/information. When a townie finds someone suspicious, they are generally direct about it "I find <xxx> town, and <yyy> suspicious, for <zzz> reason." However this post is just a clusterfuck. His reads are buried in the middle of irrelevant banter, and hell he changes his mind on reads of the course of his post!

The post is not designed to be helpful - it's designed to be massive and showy. Ergo, he's trying to appear like he's contributing without actually contributing.

Secondly, the scope of the post is just a mess. He just finds random things in the thread that he doesn't agree with and is really snarky about them. That's a really common mafia tactic - to find a bunch of things to critique/shit-on in the thread. It gives the effect of making one appear to contribute, when in reality, nitpicking several posters is generally easy, creates paranoia, and serves no real constructive purpose to actually finding mafia.

"Cool Foolishness, you know how to data mine, but what does it mean?" Let me tell you what it means. When Kush is town, he is very open about giving his reads in his posts. He directly tells the town "this person is town here's why, this person is mafia here's why". Of course these come in the form of one-liners so the reasons aren't substantial (which is okay). This shows a town mindset, he's trying to figure out the game and he's not afraid to speak his mind which are both strong town characteristics.

However these sorts of posts are absent when he's mafia. Why? He doesn't feel the need to tell the town who is town and who is mafia because he already knows. That's what is happening this game and what happens in the games he's mafia. I checked two of his other games (one town, one mafia) and they both align in this matter.

Austin mentioned that Kush is complaining about spaminess, but that's not okay. He's complaining about spaminess but not doing anything to help the town. That's what mafia do and they do so well: tell the town they are sucking, running in circles, or needlessly fighting with each other. It's an easy thing to say and makes it look like they are helping when they aren't. And that's how you catch someone doing that, when they say what the town's problem is but not doing anything to help.

##Vote: Kushm4sta


STEP 1
I think we can all agree that Kush is someone who always makes spammy, aggressive one-liners and in general just gives zero fucks. So there's not much to be garnered from that.
Kush is a player who gives zero fucks. Not much to be garnered from that ----> it's not alignment-determinative that kush would give zero fucks.


STEP 2
Here's a bunch of meta on kush, as to why his posting/questions match his scum games, not his town games


STEP 3
Austin mentioned that Kush is complaining about spaminess, but that's not okay. He's complaining about spaminess but not doing anything to help the town. That's what mafia do and they do so well: tell the town they are sucking, running in circles, or needlessly fighting with each other.

And that's how you catch someone doing that, when they say what the town's problem is but not doing anything to help.
Kush is complaining but not doing anything to help the town -----> kush is scummy


Step 1 and Step 3 cannot both be true, imo. If Kush is a player who gives zero fucks, then Kush not caring to help town is in line with him being KUSH. Foolishness cannot legitimately argue both "Kush doesn't care as either alignment, him not caring is not alignment indicative" AND "One reason Kush is mafia is because he doesn't care to help town"

No, my main thing is that I don't think I have ever seen even TOWN kush be all super town-helpy and whatnot. Even if he's town and giving reads, doing something despite looking like he gives zero fucks, he's not...town leader. He's not leading lynches, he's not mending fences, he's not flashing the threadcop siren.

Foolishness goes and reads a bunch of Kush games, which, imo, say "Here is a dude who doesn't play threadcop and doesn't run around helping town in major major ways when he sees something wrong", and then in says that kush SHOULD be helping town out when he sees something wrong.

I don't think that fits in general, and I really don't like it all within one post.

Moreover I don't actually know what Foolishness wants there. It's super easy to go "He's complaining and not doing anything to help, mafia."

That's just a generality. A good one, but a generality nonetheless.

I'm curious as to what someone, and specifically someKush, SHOULD be doing there to help. Like, if it's scummy to NOT do anything to help, there has to be a THING you could do to help. What does Foolishness think Kush SHOULD have done to help town about spam and whatnot? He's scummy for not doing X, when I'm not sure there IS an X to be done.

And that's how you catch someone doing that, when they say what the town's problem is but not doing anything to help.
The last paragraph indicates, to me, that the townie way to complain is to say "THIS IS A PROBLEM" and then to help solve that problem.

Giving reads/opinions does NOT help the spam/thread size problem.

Like...the whole complaint thing is not that you can complain about x and y so long as you do something helpful somewhere else. It's that you shouldn't complain about x without trying to fix x, shouldn't complain about y without trying to fix y.

Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another.

Complaining about spam while spamming.
Saying a lynch was shitty while voting for the guy who got lynched.
Preaching a religion while having a secret life on the side where you break bunch of tenets of that religion


Complaining about spam while not posting reads isn't hypocrisy.



I AM GOING TO PUT THIS ASIDE BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE GETTING THE ELDERLY HETEROSEXUAL PERUVIAN BLOOD FLOWING BECAUSE AFTER INNUENDO AND PLAYING TOO MUCH MAFIA I THINK YOUR FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD IS CALLING OUT FOOLISHNESS WHEN HE DOES SCUMMY STUFF.

Kita, Hapa, HF, Geript. When you guys return to thread could you read these last couple pages and tell me whether I'm off my rocker in:

(a) Finding Foolishness's case scummily constructed
(b) Finding Xatalos odd for the way he's defending Foolishness. Connecting them in my head pre-any-flips

i'm probably pretty confirmation biased about kush being scum atm, i'm worried about what this might mean since what austin writes makes sense to me so i'm gonna take a break to step back and reevaluate
Thrawn i dunno about right now. I can construct a townie narrative in my head as to why he's doing what he's doing, I can construct a scummy narrative in my head as well.

If he's town and he DID superlurk a different D1, and then got great reads that game, then a townthrawn is likely to go "holy shit that worked so well I'm going to do this forever now." Until it fails, I would EXPECT a townthrawn to try and emulate that behavior, because something clicked for him one game.

If he's mafia and he superlurked, he's got a great excuse to superlurk. If he's mafia and last time I caught him or called him out as mafia when we were chatting one on one, he's got reason to maybe avoid that as well.


There are bits and pieces that don't super lead to narrative, the "who is tambo" thing was a neat catch, and his "Okay guys I'm revving up now" ---> "lol nope couldn't get going" is pretty poopy if it doesn't stop.

Mainly though I was townie on kush early, and I'm scummy on Foolishness because of that case, which ... supercharges the read? While not being sure on thrawn.

Also, I agree with your overall framework for kush, but not your conclusion. I think there IS some playful stuff, I think he's complaining just the right amount and he pops in for ... non-mafia stuff? Mafia can complain about spam all day, can complain about all sorts of stuff, can encourage bad behavior, instead kush, among other things, tries to pop in and explain whatever that bit was about you and geript and someone and when things are usually town or not.

In Dr. Who. there were more posts from him, he had scum suspects that he dropped for little/no reasons, he had these REALLY weird comments about other people.

He defended a scumbuddy by saying we "underestimated the fluidity of [kita's] reads D1"

Not the best comparison because he started off there as the only mafia, and was unkillable for a bit, and recruited (maybe that's applicable depending on how this is set up?). But he felt, in that game, like when you really took a good look at him, he was like...trying too hard in places. He'd defend someone for a bad reason, he was attack multiple people and then just dropped those reads for no reason.

Like...trying was his undoing? If he'd had little/no reads, or little/no reasons, then he wouldn't have looked so bad. Possible that he altered his play a little or that Dr. Who was an anomaly.

Don't know why you need to spend 4 pages debating a minor semantic issue. Really it's simple. You called Kush town and gave some reasons why. I used (essentially) the same reasons to say he's mafia. Either:

1) You disagree with the past-game analysis I did (i.e. I drew the wrong conclusion).
2) You agree with the past-game analysis but Kush is still town for other reasons.

If either is the case then say so now. As stated before, if you think that the cases are better on mtaburini, BlueyD, or Ritoky I will gladly move my vote to one of them and not look back. Debating semantics and calling into question me getting mafia lynched is not doing anything for the town.
4 pages too much, but either it's just me being asked to restate something and going on and on, or there are ACTUAL strange responses to this. Xatalos arguing that game unlikely to be balanced, elderly heterosexual peruvian being not just disinterested, but mostly disinterested in discussing YOU, when in other games he tries to read you and if he gets some scummy whiffs is just on your case forever and very spammy about it.

I don't think you're particularly right, at least based on why I found kush scummy in Dr. Who. But I care less about that then what I'm seeing as a disingenuous push by you. My issue the last couple pages is how you made that argument.

If nothing else, if a thread is spammy, how does a townie help to solve that problem? And is kush the sort of player that, as a townie, would take those actions?

If you are or not, here's a bunch of rambling that I did while looking at the votes. + Show Spoiler +
Pookie Pie, talk with me.

I'm not off my rocker, but I'm not voting. And I'd rather vote other people than Da Meat, actually find some stuff, read some people.

So I go and I read the people getting votes.

And i see that there is kush, who I read as townie.

And I see that there is mtamburini, who has some playful posts, and spends a bunch of time talking about work or Civ 5 (don't buy that game you will lose WEEKS of your life when you start playing. Also, if you're going to buy it, wait for the summer sale. They'll put Civ 5 + Brave New World on sale + a bunch of other DLC, and you can pick it all up at once. Brave New World makes some nice improvements, and with all the DLC you get so many more races and options, plus the summer sale will be happening within a couple months). There's enough lighthearted stuff that I get a little confused, because actively choosing not to help town is bad, but there are people popping heads up to go "oh yeah lynch that person" and then disappear again and blah blah blah i'm less certain than at the end of D1/start of N2.

And I see that there is ritoky, who comes back N1 and says BH looked long and full of substance, which is a strange thing for a mafia to say after a lynch on a townie, because they can either complain OR shut up, but who says "man, that case on that townie that I missed and you guys mislynched was pretty good." Also, he started looking into night kills, which I like.

And then there is BlueyD, who finds the tambo thing in thrawn's filter, showing that he's reading and looking for neat stuff, which I like. He also has some I-think-good reactions to people claiming things, both steve's claim and slam's stuff, rather than shutting up or asking questions or anything, kinda looks like he's really not sure why people are doing this and thinks it helps mafia.

And then there is steveling who is, I am sorry, looking kind of town for being SO spammy and so paranoid about BH and slam and stuff. There was a chance he was going mocsta-style scum and being cray cray spammy just to disrupt thread, but all his crap on the claims and the roles hits too close to home for me to want to lynch him. That's EXACTLY me in early big games, thinking that maybe the flavor matters and that maybe Blazinghand burns people or freezes people or whatever.

And then there's thrawn, who is the best choice so far because he's doing dick and you can craft a scum narrative for it.

And then BH who isn't the lynch.


Came to erandorr though and I like that lynch, at least based on Erandorr's filter and not looking at WoS yet. --> And erandorr who I could get behind because there are promises of catching up/posts and promises and promises, but the only thing of substance is him needling at BlueyD and then leaving, no vote, no more stuff, the end. I looked askance at HolyFlare initially for suggesting him over other candidates that had come up, that were scummy D1, etc, but now I actually really like that choice. Need to reread WoS, but would totally lynch Erandorr. First name I come across and feel good about.

(I hadn't gotten to sqrt yet but I have him town)


Also in looking at filters and votes and whatnot, I really, really dislike Jampidampi. Want to look at some past games to see if he's a very aggressive player, or if that fits a particular alignment, but his early game is just him JUMPING DOWN THROATS over very little.

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 ome 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.

##Vote: layabout
. Layabout had recently come up, he was so jumpy on ninjabunnies but never voted her, and chooses not to push her at ALL on return or vote her or anything. His could lynch yet is mostly just "people who had come up as scummy in various spots", and he continues to be fine fine with lynching layabout, and fine with a tamburini lynch.

For a dude who started the game crazy aggro, he never votes the read he gets off that, and the aggro is just GONE. He's still kinda bristle-y (that word doesn't look right as one word so I'm adding a hyphen), and his main defender was Koshi. Who btw, flipped not town.

He comes back after the lynch to tell everyone they should feel terrible for not lynching mtamuarini, despite the fact that his initial "i'd vote mtam" says NOTHING.

Oh, I definitely disagree with you, I thought he seemed genuine when I first read it and again when you reposted it, it's actually a reaction I could see myself having if something like that happened to me. So I don't think that makes him scum at all.

But I can't seem to find a reason why became angry between those posts. From the post it seems that he got angry because more people were jumping onto him, but that didn't hapen in that timeframe, so I'm confused as to why he wasn't angry in the first post.

It was because i (re?)read more of the thread between them, i can't remember if i had fully caught up with the first one

what do you think about ritoky?

Well if you had only read the thread up to Marvs vote on you when you posted the first post, I can definetely see you getting angry over people hopping onto you or saying they would look into you more. Hmm... That actually makes me think you're town based on how you seemed to still be angry in your ritoky case. Which seems like an emotional backlash, but it has good points in it. Could lynch him, but I think I'd rather see tamburinis head roll.

You should all feel bad about not lynching tamburini. Just look at how reliefed he is about not getting lynched while proceeding to do nothing helpful. If a vig doesn't flip him I'll be pushing for his lynch D2.


Later he drops his bit on mtam being the lynch today. The more I look at mtam seriously, the less I like straight pushing that lynch, and coming in to say "oh yeah, here's why that bro is scummy GOODBYE" doesn't rub me the right way.


So anyway, very aggro although I don't know if that means anything. Doesn't seem to do what I'd expect with the aggro, which would be to vote ninjabunnies. Why push someone, dislike their responses, think they're mafia, but not vote them? His scumreads tend to just look like what the thread has popped up, and the tamburini progression gives me some bad feels. Koshi defending is a minor thing, but Koshi's filter is just a bunch of having fun, with the exception of like...one post where he +1s a Poofter post and likes Poofter's lists, his posts where he decides he actually WON'T sheep me and kind of likes ritoky, and the bit on jampidampi.

Anyway, after doing some searching, I'd happily lynch erandorr or jampidampi today. Currently scumreading Foolishness still, if Fool is scum worried about Xat (haven't done a full look at Xat apart from that), and worried about peruvian.

Haven't taken a good look at Cav, ceph, poofter, layabout.

austin: random thought having only read halfway through your post - I do actually remember jampi being surprisingly aggressive in previous games for someone who is generally so lurky. Take that with a pinch of salt, that's without checking and you can obviously verify that yourself should you wish.

Also I quite liked his research on mtamb's vote progression that was his last post (I think). Quite happy to chitchat about it though.
That was his last post.

I'll go check some past games.

The way that he goes about getting onto mtam, then sitting on mtam, then calling everyone bad for the OOP lynch, and just continuing to push only mtam is worrying to me. Not 100% mafia, but he's just found a dude to sit on, who is kinda scummy, and will just perch there and call him scummy for a while. In the narrative where jampi is mafia, he's a MAJOR PERCHER. TOP 10 PERCHER FINLAND.

I dunno, if he REALLY thinks everyone is bad for not lynching mtam and if he REALLY wants mtam to be the lynch today, doesn't he...not say this?
e was a good candidate day 1, and those reasons to lynch him still apply. There's nothing relevant to town in his filter during N1 or D2.
Like shouldn't he be swinging from the trees and playing cowbell and going door to door handing out pamphlets about how mtam is mafia, not just saying "those reasons still apply, even though I also never gave them in the first place." His push on mtam feels very...detached?

Back to the Basics, jampi does sarcastically ask aquanim, a scum read, if he can read. Some little questions. Some aggro towards aqua. Backs off the aggro later though, more conversational. Town.

Nuclear he's relatively not around, got nuked for it but was immune. Wasn't aggro, but did a "why the fuck did you nuke me thing" and "oh there's a case" thing. Scumlist pops up without anything else really, although he's given reason for some of those people being scummy in the past. Town.

Not aggro in I swear this is normal mini. Town. Not the same kind of questions, chatty with hapa a good bit. Seems to have history with hapa, hapa coached a newbie, hapa has jampi as town this game, would probably expect some interaction with hapa this game (check for this).

Bastard Mini got cut in the middle and iGrok didn't even post a spreadsheet and I'm too lazy to go find his alignment and stuff.

Newbie XLI, very aggro. Lots of quick questions, lots of why did you say this/why are you thinking this. VERY AGGRO. Also gives reads, reasons, even when he has a list because he "can't decide which scummy fucker I lynch", there are reasons and some quotes and stuff. Porkchop Sandwiches. Town.

Newbie XL, blue, DT. Lotta quick questions, very aggro.


One thing I'm noticing is that when he hammers on someone for not reading/answering his questions, not going fast enough, giving bad answers, he will VOTE them. Read this progression and compare it to his bunnies stuff. + Show Spoiler +

##Vote: Rainbows
Rainbows is really scummy.

At the start, he had the opportunity to continue discussing what was being discussed, but instead he brings up this hypotetical question. Now what purpose does it serve? Scum could post this to know what kind of behaviour we find scummy. Town could post this to generate discussion. But I don't believe that. Rainbows had already got good discussion rolling about something that matters to town (policy). But instead he brings up something that can't benefit town. And there is no followup whatsoever.

Rainbows asked if Ravens was scum or VT. Blatant bluefishing. No scum would ever answear "Yes, I'm scum". If Ravens had claimed VT there, scum would know he isn't blue. Ravens may have in confusion softclaimed a powerrole there. I can't find any townie reasonin Rainbows would ask this question.

Rainbows says how he likes Obzy. If you look at any mafia games posts, when someone likes someone, he thinks that guy is town. Just look at the list posts in this game: "I don't like XXX" is used in contexes, where people think XXX is scummy. Yet when I ask him to explain his liking of Obzy, he says he liked the name and that he has posted a lot, when at the time, Obzy had three posts. If look at those three posts, that is not a good basis for a town read.

Rainbows thinks he is the center of the thread and that he should be talked about.

I was not providing a summary of events in the thread - I was summing up your actions. Perhaps it wasn't clear enough, no worries, hopefully this will make things more clear.

##Vote Rainbow

As far as policies goes, this is my opinion: we should not lynch people based on whims, misinterpretations or lies.
Rainbows third, so called, case against Saraf is completely based on either an obvious misinterpretation or a lie.

Saraf:
even if the spammiest asshole is just some poor well-meaning fattie (who should have applied the litmus test "does this post help town?")


Rainbow:
I think we should all rally around lynching Saraf, because he called me town and expressed interest in lynching someone he called probably town.


Rainbow:
Saraf seems to know I'm town, because he refers to me as such and tells me how I should be playing.


Saraf has never called Rainbow town. Even if does NOT equal probably town! Rainbow must know this.

I don't think this is a misinterpretation, I think this is Rainbow trying to create something out of nothing. Most likely reason the obvious one - he is scum. And he's not helping himself when he refuses to explain his own action but rather continue to accuse others.


You were summing up the thread because I was the only one doing things.

Good morning,

First off all, my prime playing time will probably be when you US folks are sleeping and the other way around. So please keep in mind that it may sometimes take several hours before I can answer question and provide my view points.

We should try to find a middle ground between spam and lurking, obviously neither are good for town. But I rather we focus on posting when we have some new insight to provide, and thus help keep the thread atleast somewhat clean. Unessecary spam is just... spam. I fail to see how spam, confusion and weak claims are helping town.

This is what've noticed after reading this thread (and I'm not alone): In less than 8 hours, Rainbows has provided three different "cases".
The first one could be passed off as a joke.
The second, according to himself a "serious" vote based on not getting an answer quickly enough (?).
The third, and this time he really want to get a lynch going, based on nothing (or wierd reading skills).

I would like to hear Rainbows explanation.

Anyone who's here right now I want to give me their opinions on a statement.

--- I don't want to talk about policy. You can policy me this or policy me that, or raise me a lynch-all-liar policy, but I don't want to hear it. Your policy is your own. Enact it when you see fit, if at all. Don't spew it in the thread incessantly to act like you're contributing or it's the 'must-do' in a mafia game.

If you want to override this and go on with it, fine with me. Whatever you feel is best.


Not talking policy Day 1 is bullshit. Scum know who scum are but we don't, and the only way we catch scum is by making them fuck up. Even if the policy ends up being "there is no policy", the debate drives conversation and conversation is the only reliable way we have of rooting out scum and eliminating them. Problems arise for town when scum derails the conversation, so here's some day 1 policy to chew on:

In the absence of really strong reads, lynch the spammiest asshole who shits up the thread the most. Spamming the thread is a scum tactic to distract and disrupt town; even if the spammiest asshole is just some poor well-meaning fattie (who should have applied the litmus test "does this post help town?"), at the very least in Day 2 the thread will be less shit up, and it'll be easier to find scum without him shitting up the thread.


It is obvious that Saraf is referring to me here. I'm spamming, I'm doing a bunch of nuisance-like things and he doesn't like it. He says he would like to lynch me; even if I'm probably town. Saraf seems to know I'm town, because he refers to me as such and tells me how I should be playing.

[snip]

I digress, he's brought up the policy to 'lynch the spammiest asshole', but that in itself people are already talking about because I'm the center of discussion. So antagonisitic.

Well I can't say scum for sure, but I definitely don't like it.

Rainbow votes Smancer. Then Rainbow unvotes, then talks about his policy that there should be no policy and that everyone has their own policy. Rainbow then brings up a policy scenario. Well, he states it isn't policy based. Well to me, it sounds like it is, since a policy defines a set of actions in response to certain behavior. I don't know that Rainbow would bring a policy question and call it not policy, seems like he's cautiously gauging townie response and the town meta.

Honestly, I want a response from not only Rainbow but also Smancer, since to me, it's interesting that Rainbow voted Smancer, unvoted Smancer and then voted Smancer again. In response Smancer had voted Rainbows and then unvoted Rainbow. I just a lil' weirded out by the voting trend.

+ Show Spoiler +
As a little meta thing, Rainbows seems to deviate a lot more from previous games, he did troll vote, but not to extent of this game. He also spams a lot more.


NW gives a huge summary. and throws some shit. He meditates on the policy thing, which I told everyone wasn't policy. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW PEOPLE THINK AND POLICY JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE. Had to get out of the way. This post, and subsequently the spoiler, show no effort on NW's part to come to a conrete read on me. He simply says that I'm doing things. He seems really apprehensive about giving an actual read and just flops around.

I want peoples opinions of NW. Saraf might just be a banality-spewing town; and I'm unsure if his lolpolicy was serious or not. But NW - that guy. He's scummy.
The only post which he brings up from nobodywonder is this one, where nobodywonder suspects Rainbows.


Rainbows is hellbent in his interpretating that Saraf called him town, even when multiple people have said that was not what Saraf intented to say. If Saraf is town, what Rainbow did was scummy, because he has more reasons to potentiaaly misslynch Saraf. If Saraf is scum, it's still scummy. Rainbows appears to put pressure on Saraf and if Saraf is ever on the chopping block, Rainbows can go "oh shit, my reasoning is really dump" and save him.



Anyway, aggro is not a tell for him. I don't think he's been mafia, found no games but I also didn't check chinese grammar micro. It feels GENERALLY like he backs his suspicions up more. The rainbows stuff there, in the game with aquanim he like...didn't like what was going on and votes his face. Not the most damning thing, may be overblowing the differences because I'm worried about him blah blah

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
MZ still maybe scummy for this bunnies/jampi/MZ interaction.

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 understand the part about gut reads, I've had them myself and I know how frustrating it is to try and explain them. I give her (is ninja a her?) a pass for now because her posts seem very unguarded and often early game is when scum are most uptight.

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. Brining out the newbie card, defending accusations that don't exist. I would definitely not call this post unguarded. Based on this I wouldn't clear bunnies so easily, but now you're interesting. What makes you think she was "unguarded" in this post?

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.
But he entirely misses (and most/all of us did), that Jampi goes STRAIGHT from finding MZ kinda scummy to having him on the won't lynch list, despite still finding bunnies scummy. Given that the bunnies/MZ/jampi interaction is the whole reason MZ is scummy, if bunnies is still scummy then MZ probably SHOULD, bar any kind of explanation.

Koshi knows jampi's filter and defends him but ... seems to miss something that I'm concerned with.

P'shaw. Even my nonsense has merit.

I do wish there was more not-me talking today. Probably not optimal for the game. Also, this is one reason not to sit on the coin flip dude, because there are still plenty of OTHER people to pressure and whatnot.

yeah but other people will respond if they're talked about or even if they're not talked about. I don't think mysterymeat will respond at all unless he's up for the lynch, and maybe not even then. so it's kinda worth a try you see. The idea isn't "let's all just lynch this guy and not do anything else" and you should feel ashamed if you think so :p

but yeah that mz stuff is good.
Let's go with shades of pot/kettle, and shades of "I think there are more productive things" and shades of "In my mind if geript is really a vigi I liked what he said earlier about townies shooting townies (see my posts in YOSO and the postgame thoughts and EVERY THEMED GAME WHERE TOWNIES SHOOT TOWNIES), therefore, geript is unlikely to just go firing at people, but because the postgame of YOSO had a lot of pushing from host-y folks for vigis to shoot lurkers, geript is LIKELY to be okay just shooting a lurker, and so mysterymeat probably gets shot." So in my mind, the problem is already solved because in the future he likely gets shot as the lurkiest of the lurk, and lynching him or voting him is a waste of keystrokes.

Follow his thought process like he's scummy on Bunny, asked MZ what he thought of the Jamp-bunny interaction, bounces onto MZ. Like it's a clear natural progression IMO. Doesn't look or feel forced.
Right. I don't have any problem with jamp finding bunny scummy and then deciding that MZ is scummy based on not finding bunny scummy there.

You have no problem with:

(1) Jamp finding MZ scummy for that, but then having him as not a possible lynch in the very next post? Despite still having bunnies as scum?

(2) Jamp finding bunnies scum, being pretty clearly scummy on bunnies, but never voting her and not pushing her lynch, choosing to look elsewhere every time he plops a vote down?

I can perfectly understand why he might find bunnies and MZ scummy. But his RESPONSE to that finding is not to vote, and to pull a 180 on MZ for no reason (while not doing so on bunnies).

(NEED TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT/IF MZ POSTED IN THAT TIME)

not "deciding that MZ is scummy based on not finding bunny scummy there"

but instead

"deciding that MZ is scummy based on FINDING bunny scummy there but for different reasons"

MZ just didn't share jampi's reasoning, and jampi thought MZ was scummy because he missed what jampi thought was important

YOU WANT A REASON

IF SOMEONE ACTUALLY THINKS THAT AN RNG LYNCH IS A GOOD IDEA, A POSITIVE, WHATEVER

THEN THEY HAVE A REASON TO RNG LYNCH


I see nothing in Yellow's filter that says "AN RNG LYNCH IS A BAD IDEA LET'S NOT DO THAT." I see multiple posts basically plotting the best way to RNG lynch.

If Yellow actively thinks RNG lynching is good, then I can understand what up.

No, you didn't.

Hi, my name is Jimbo.

I like poetry, long walks on the beach, lynching mafia, and RNG lynching. ALL OF THESE THINGS are things I like.

I think mtambo is mafia. I think we have a possible RNG lynch.


I 100% get what you're saying with "not wanting to lynch anymore" ---> he wanted to lynch mtam ---> well that's odd because he never voted no mtam and instead voted RNG.

If you actually VALUE an RNG lynch though, and you can vote ONE PERSON, then you either vote RNG (which you like) or mtam (who you think is scum, and you like lynching scum, so you like this too).

But the fact remains you can only vote for ONE thing.

HE ADMITTED TO WANTING TO LYNCH TAMBO ON DAY1. GOOD LORD.

Yes. 100% agree.

HE ADMITTED TO WANTING TO LYNCH TAMBO AND ONLY TAMBO ON DAY1. GOOD LORD.

Would disagree with this statement.



When you want AN EXPLANATION. Here is the explanation

HE ADMITTED TO WANTING TO LYNCH TAMBO ON D1 AND ALSO TO WANTING TO RNG LYNCH ON D1, AND HE ONLY GETS ONE VOTE SO HE CAN'T VERY WELL DO BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

ritoky, I would tend to agree with marv, in that I find bunnies a kind of unlikely N1 target for dastardly deeds, and an unlikely scummer unless she played a really nice D1. So I would assume she's a magical unicorn, and err on the side of power role rather than mafia, although that does discount any kind of pro-town or whatever non-town folks.


Hapa,

I almost always WANT to lynch elderly heterosexual peruvian. Either he's mafia OR I just get to lynch elderly heterosexual peruvian, which has some amusement value for me.

But I very rarely actually lynch elderly heterosexual peruvian, and I often think it's a bad idea. Because I also want to win the game or lynch scum or be more sure or whatever. Sometimes even with a scumread on him, I won't want to lynch him.

Also, sometimes it dawns on you that there's no way you can get any kind of high level security clearance, because in digging up your past people will inevitably run across things like this, and be, quite rationally, worried about you.

All my posts are legit BH. Again, I'm not town.

I'm not the mafia faction or factions of this game.



I don't know how factions work. I only know of one other, not how it's set up, not how many people or anything, only that I need them dead if I'm going to win. I assume there are like 2 traditional mafia factions, me doing recruiting with a separate win con, and another win that might be survivor-y or SK or something else. 3 traditional mafia factions seems not right.

I do not know if some people were recruited or only one person. I don't know if other factions can do the same.

I know that, hypothetically, if multiple factions CAN recruit and recruit the same person, that person does NOT get recruited by either faction. That's all the information I have on possible other recruiters. If there are a bunch of anti-recruiter roles or something like that, then it's likely I'm not the only recruiter, and it's possible that my faction and another faction are at war, recruiting and trying to destroy each other, while the others are the mafia dudes.

But I don't know.

BH, to be specific:

I think jampi could be mafia/is mafia.

I think Foolishness is ... actually pretty likely, don't like that kush case. It's also slightly curious to me that matt would appear to say that Foolishness is, indeed, a whore, but nothing more. I get that he's not read up on the game, but he doesn't even read a page, or give fake reads, or anything fun/helpful/anything. He's read SOME of the game, because he saw that question and it was pages and pages before he answers, yet he gives NOTHING game relevant. For half a hydra head that's at least partially following the game, no bueno.

If Foolishness is mafia, I could see Xat being of his faction. Have not fully filtered Xat, it was a feeling I got as I was attacking Foolishness.

Marv could legit be mafia, I dunno. I read kita as town, MZ was town, other hydra was town, in my head that leaves marv and foolishness as vet-y players (assuming BH is actually town). That means that AT least one of them gots ta be mafia for balance, and quite possibly both. Out of the two, marv is townier right now.

Earlier today I actually thought HF was a watcher or something, said he was gonna shoot mtam and then watched him instead, and saw erandorr take an action there (and assumed mafia protect or something, because townies unlikely to protect). Guess that was wrong. Got the blue read, got the fake action, but wrong role lol.

If that other faction wins, I lose.
If ANYONE wins and I don't have the right number of people in my faction, we lose.

I don't know what the other wincons are, but if all other non-town factions are dead AND I've got a decent number, then we should both win.

If one of the two factions I don't need gone has some wincon that's opposed to town but not opposed to me, should be able to win with them as well, under the same circumstances.

Steve, at least for me, I recruit as a night action.

IF there were other recruiters and IF they work in the same fashion, BH/slam couldn't have recruited each other or anything before the start of D2 basically, so one wouldn't have known about the other or anything.

That would be just peachy, but I have. It's a closed setup for me as well.

The couple things I've not revealed would out me and I'm unsure whether the faction I need gone to win also needs me gone to win, and whether they can effectively do that.

And tbh, some of the stuff I've revealed might NOT be true. I know that my faction recruits and doesn't control, but I guess i TECHNICALLY don't know that one of the other factions doesn't control people. I believe that's not the case, and if "control" is something more like "attach a djinn to someone" then that's how I recruit, so it SHOULD be recruiting mechanic and not recruiting + control or something.

1) You were in Koshi's faction?

3) What does "recruiting" actually do? Does the target become non-town?
4) What's the specific flavor on "recruiting" someone? Is it something like "being controlled by a Djinn"?
5) If so, I have reason to believe that this state of being controlled is temporary. That's why I have difficulty believing that it works like you said. If you make your target share your QT and stuff, won't he just reveal everything if he goes back to normal?
6) Do you have KP?
7) If so, who did you shoot last night?

(1) Already answered, no.
(2) Yes.
(3) Depends.
(4) My flavor says nothing about control.
(5) Not temporary, except I guess death.
(6) In a way
(7) In a way

(Also, my recruiting CANNOT be temporary, because recruited dudes get QT access. I can't give someone QT access, then have them disappear and go tell everyone who's there)

If I had to guess, austin is just fake claiming recruiter to make us paranoid about any obvious townies. He was caught and had nothing to lose.

A recruiter mechanic doesn't make sense in this setup. Suppose his faction recruits a member from a mafia faction. Then they would have the complete scum list for that team. Think of how fast the game would fall apart that way. It doesn't work.

I make my fake claims fun or ... less recruiter-y. Also, whether it makes sense or not, it's here. If nothing else, it would APPEAR that there are other roles that mention control or recruiting or SOMETHING, so you KNOW that non-standard mechanics exist.

Since trying to hide faction doesn't work, I'm mars. Fire. I THINK that all 4 factions are elemental djinn things, but don't know for sure. Mah nemesis IS another element.


Each night I can attach a fire djinn to someone. That djinn burns away the role that the person has and adds a new one (I have a set number of djinn, in my head they're pokemon, and each has a certain ability. I give the person that djinn, their old role is gone, they now have the role of the attached djinn).

If I target a townie, the townie is recruited and joins me. Their old role gone, new role in place. Not a control thing, and not temporary.

If I target a scummer, I burn away any role they had, lose my pokemans, and DO NOT recruit. Yes, it would be way unbalanced if I could recruit mafia, change their wincon.

However, fire is a bit unstable, and so IF I choose to add someone, I also burn a random person for 1 KP. So i HAVE KP, and I could pledge, for the most part, not to use it (i have to recruit more to have a shot at winning, but could hold off for a while or something), but I cannot target anyone in particular. Anyway, I can target a recruit, and if I use it the random KP hits, but I cannot target the KP.

Anyway, it looks like all the kill is flavored. My shot hit the smurf last night. Some of my posts from earlier this cycle are smurf-guy-focused, I know that peruvian had a sandro read on it and whatnot, but I'm the one who killed it. Anyway, you should be able to see that I talk more about the smurf kill than the others, it was mine, but no, I'm not actually suspicious of other folks for that kill, the peruvian is suspicious for his own crap.

Oh geript, it may not be entirely obvious, but I didn't recruit you because I wasn't sure you were townie. Since I can't recruit scum I needed to look for super duper townie people on D1.


Also, as far as winning goes, I need the other faction dead. I need endgame. And I need to have 3-5 people recruited. Any less and our fire isn't strong enough. Any more and our fire is burning too hot. So I don't need to add people every night, but I gots to be allowed to get at least one more recruit in, then can go scumhunting with the recruit OR just scumhunt with text.

Does it mention if the random 1kp fires if you fail to recruit a scum?

If I USE a fire djinn, the KP happens. So as long as I send in a recruit action, there's a KP action. I'ts not an equal and opposite thing, but essentially, if I send a fire djinn to recruit someone, someone gets burnt.

Also, fire bros are immune from that burning. Keeps me from getting LOL RNGed on N1 when I try to recruit.

Anyway. To my dearest voters, I offer you a scowl.

austinmcc (8): Holyflare, kushm4sta, That Elderly Heterosexual Peruvian, Blazinghand, Cephiro, geript, ritoky, layabout, Yell0w

And then kita, bluey, onceking, erandorr

HF town.

Kush is being an idiot and I don't want to be wrong about him and if he's actually town then maybe I'm right about Foolishness too. So it's a bit biased, but i THINK town.

peruvian basically non-responded to HF's claim and all this stuff. Not good. peruvian can be lazy all he wants but SHIT THAT IS INTERESTING IS HAPPENING. I can understand him being lazy, although it also sorta smells like not wanting to make a target of himself early when lots of KP is in play, but.........he should be getting interested in stuff. Reads kinda ... too safe? Drop out, see what happens with the claim and the responses and whatnot.

BH is likely town but also a liar

Survey says..............this is false.

Ceph comes out of the woodwork after like a 4 day absence. Says he's trying to skim, gives no thoughts, votes me. Wish nobody had said anything so that we could see what he did later. Here's the thing, I think cephiro is TOWN, or less likely, a ONE-PERSON FACTION. Everyone and their mother is returning to thread to vote me. Ceph returns to thread and ASKS TO BE READ INTO WHAT'S GOING ON. That means it's UNLIKELY he has a QT, because every scum QT says "Oi gents, care for a spot of tea? We're in tip top shape on the nonce, for we can all take the piss out of the thread wot wot and vote austinmcc, saying he's a right cad." ***HEY DON'T FORGET THIS IF I DIE GO LOOK AT IT AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE. WHY DOES MAFIA ASK FOR A TARGET NOW, MAFIA IS SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR RIGHT NOW AND WILL BE OVER-QUICK TO VOTE ME***

geript shouldn't be voting me. If nothing else, he should be trying to save me and secretly hoping I'll recruit him into the ABBA goodness. I DO like that he immediately thought of that, why wasn't he recruited, but it's not an alignment-indicative thing. Don't like the entirely unexplained vote though, but again, similar to cephiro, mafia is smiling their asses off, and i think will....be too quick to explain a little, to say why they're voting, and wont' just drop a ninja vote.

ritoky i liked the posts of and i'm getting lazy because there are too many voters on me to do what I wanted to do and really look for scum votes/town votes. Because he's townie imo, I'll just call his vote a town vote.

layabout ignores the check for a while, and instead is focused on other people, and also talks with xatalos a tiny bit about what's going on. I like that. Townvotepile.

Yup, so I'm just going to agree we have to lynch him because he can recruit people in his faction.

##vote: austinmcc
Asks no question. Interacts none. Poof I'm here, I'll say something about austinmcc, go away again. i THINK yellow is town, but his VOTE is scummy. This is sorta what I'm looking for in terms of scummy votes, right? People who appear out of nowhere, have NO thoughts on the thread but that I need lynching, and then poof. Of minor note is his concern that I RECRUIT. He doesn't say I'm lolmafia, or that I have to die because I have a redcheck or anything, he's concerned about something that probably should be concerning. That's a minor +

watch kita closely. He knows I'm not an idiot. But he claims both that "leaving a claimed recruiter alive is a no-no" AND that I'm fakeclaiming recruiter. If I were trying to fakeclaim, I wouldn't fakeclaim something that, in Kita's mind, gets you KILLED FOREVER ALWAYS. He essentially thinks I'm claiming something super dangerous, when every friggin scum that gets caught and claims 3P always goes for survivor or something innocent. They don't say they MIGHT be taking your wives and children (or husbands), and they don't say they, ummmm, rando KP sometimes. Mafia don't fakeclaim things that town still want to lynch ---> it's not a fakeclaim. Kita not thinking it through enough. (Filter also kinda worryingly tiny)

Bluey's vote is lazy. I believe HF's claim ---> lynch austinmcc. Says NOTHING about whether he believes me. Says nothing about why I should be the lynch. Again, this ain't a red check. It's a not-town check. Cuz I'm not-town, but also BLUE. THE FIRE IS BLUE. BLUEY I AM YOUR COLOR. THIS SHOULD MATTER TO YOU? UNVOTE ME!

OnceKing is, I THINK, the only person who voted me and kept talking about other people. Muy bueno. Discussion shouldn't stop just because of the check, and he's the only person I saw that was down to vote me BUT STILL TRY AND DO OTHER STUFF. Huzzah.

I don't love Erandorr's vote. His is one of the more...wishy washyish? Why would scumaustin give that info --> look at how scum votes are flocking to austin (with no specifics) ---> we still need to kill austin ---> it would be funny to leave him alive. I AGREE that scum votes are gonna pop up on me. But it's a good idea to find em rather than just mentioning it. Everyone in this game can look at the votes on me right now, be super sure there's SOME scum there, and see what votes look wonky.

Yes yes. I converted a dude and then was finding him scummy and spent pages trying to get other people suspicious of him.

Would also suggest that SOMEONE look into who has played with me in recent games where I was mafia. I have been...not a good mafia lately, had the turbolurk setting to maximum. SOMEONE should have brought this up, imo, and it should be a slight negative against anyone in those games. If they're voting me AND know that I've been cray cray lurky as scum recently, they probably should have expressed some minor misgivings.

Maaaan. I'd love to be coy about this and keep other factions guessing, but just me. You'll know, because there won't ever be fire KP again.

ALSO BY THE WAY, THERE WON'T BE FIRE KP EVER AGAIN IF I DIE.

BOY, YOU SAY. THAT SURE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A MAFIA FACTION. MAFIA FACTIONS NORMALLY GET, LIKE, KP AND STUFF, RIGHT? WHY YES, YES THEY DO. THEY GET KP AND THEY USE IT TO KILL PEOPLE. IT SURE WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE IF A MAFIA FACTION HAD NO FACTIONAL KP, OR IF ONE GUY HAS THEIR KP AND HE DIES AND THEN THERE IS NONE.

THAT DOESN'T APPEAR SENSIBLE AT ALL.



Not answering the faction that I need to die. Again, language is kinda important. There's no red/guilty check on me, there's a not-town check. I don't have to kill them off, because I don't have targeted KP. I need them to GET killed. See: me scumhunting, because I need to get rid of some faction but I can't do it through NKs.

Not much to say about mtam, he has only posted once since I last addressed him and the post is not that good. Still a good lynch, but not better than a claimed nontown.

Don't understand what you are referring to in the first part, could you say it somehow differently?
Ye Olde Game = the game.

Like, you have been gone for most of D2, a ton of discussion happened, a ton of people were brought up as scummy, cases were made, cases were +1ed, cases were pooh poohed, there was romance and intrigue and heartbreak and then HF ruined it all by doing this.

But all that stuff DID happen. And it's part of the thread and the game.

And you just talked about why you think your 180 on MZ makes sense and why you want to lynch me and then there was no more forward momentum.


If nothing else, talk about Hapa!

Things that mafia teams get to kill people at night:

KP


Things that mafia teams don't get to kill people at night:

0 KP



That seems like the wrong reaction, that lynching someone who says the KP is gone once he's dead is good. The KP being gone is a pretty strong indication that I'm NOT mafia, and when there isn't any, everyone who is town should go "Oh wow, that sure doesn't make any sense for a mafia faction to HAVE kp, but not have targetable factional KP", and then they should lynch everyone who doesn't say those exact words.

Seriously. There was fire KP, so you know KP exists. The fire KP will be gone, so you know it was attached to me. If I was mafia, the KP wouldn't disappear, mafia teams have factional KP. If you think I'm just a scummy recruiter, then you'd have to believe that I'm mafia, HAVE KP, ALSO RECRUIT, AND that the KP was tied to me, and not a faction.

None of that makes sense. Come the daypost, there won't be fire KP and everyone should understand that I wasn't a meany face and should be looking back through what I've said.

I can neither confirm nor deny things.

As far as people who are in mercury, Koshi didn't do boatloads, but out of people who are questionable AND in any way whatsoever connectable to Koshi, jampidampi is the person that fits the bill.

Koshi mostly just dicked around, but there are a COUPLE inferences that can be drawn. Would be easier with other people to draw connections from.

Don't lose ALL djinns. Just the one I send.

Again, based on the game it's similar to pokemans and I'm the fire gym leader or something. I choose a fire pokemans to send out, and it just burns roles off mafia, not converts, but I still my other pokemans cuz I'd be a shitty gum leader with just one pokemans.

As far as I know, if you're town I would recruit you, you'd lose your powers but gain better ones, you'd become cooler, you'd get to hang out in a cool QT, be nice and warm, etc. etc. Notice how all those are positive.

If you're mafia, I would burn all yo powers off, because my powers are awesome and I've decided they're better than whatever scum powers you would have.

Which is to say I don't think I become a vanilla me.

1 random KP =/= kills koshi, meapak, smurf

I don't know what other factions pack, although it LOOKS like everyone has KP of some sort

So you're not interested in claiming what powers you give to people in an effort to survive?
?

#1 - i'm the MASSIVE vote leader right now with a bunch of people who dipped in, voted, ran off.
#2 - what powers I give someone shouldn't convince ANYONE to not lynch me. Either they believe me or no already.
#3 - he didn't ask what powers I give out

Safe to say they're awesome, the best, tip top. ABBA doesn't grant no shitty powers. If there's another recruiting group, they're the Shamwow guy, Vince. They recruit you and you get a FREE extra shamwow and mini shamwow or whatever. Great, nice, lovely. Good for you. But me and ABBA? We're the Billy Mays of recruiters. We don't just give you an extra shamwow.

You want double your order? Done. Triple? Done. This complimentary carrying case for stuff? DONE. For the low low payment of your powers plus shipping and handling, we give you all sorts of awesome powers that make your stuff smell nice and fix your clothes and bond things to other things or whatever.

None of that is crumb-y or anything, just fun. For the most part it's pretty normal stuff. If you had to guess 5 things that someone might get as a power, you probably get 3 or so right.

Well, the wording is about this: "You can remove an attached Djinn and restore it to your control." Does that help?
It makes me think you're town and that you shouldn't have revealed this

I have some thoughts but I don't want to reveal them because I don't think it would be helpful.

Austin do you know what powers you can give people in advance? What power does your 1st recruit have?
Yes. Each djinn is a specific power, I choose what to try and assign to someone. As far as what power? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight? That do anything for ya? That's levitation, homes.

Please share those thoughts. If you do, I'll do everything in my power to save you.


It makes me think that other factions use a recruitment system or just have powers assigned to their faction normally by djinn (i.e., instead of me putting a djinn on someone and trying to recruit, they begin the game as like Billy and his Something Djinn and Steve and his Other Something djinn), because it doesn't make sense for their to be a role that would be aimed at yoinking my stuff if you're town, and mafia wouldn't get a role like that I don't think UNLESS town power roles are done via djinn as well.

You can't un-faction people, so it would appear that you would function more like a ... some games have an invoker or a something else, depending on theme. You get access to a berjillion things and can do one each night. It sounds more like you could start trying to suck powers, and as the game goes use any of those powers on a given night (you get the DJINN, the spell or the power or whatever).

Which, imo, means that you're a little more likely town than before and also would put a big target on your back, because it makes you a bit of a wild card in that (1) you can maybe steal scum powers and (2) you can do all sorts of crap possibly. Which would mean that you're likely to get got if I spell that out.

Which is why I didn't want to say it.

If nothing else, look for fire KP overnight. You'll see none. Look at my flip, it SHOULD be blue. If we all flip black, well then....

My reads are all in thread and are all honest.

I think I hurried my look at voters, also worth looking at NOT voters I guess. Maybe it doesn't mean much and you just look for the funkiest votes? Because mafia, again, is smiling ear to ear and just doesn't care and knows that someone from another faction is getting got. They can vote wherever for whatever reason. Anyway...boo at everyone voting me. Boo at people not voting me but disappearing too.

Superboo at thrawn. Superboo at the meatman.

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.

Anyway, there's 50 minutes left, and a decent number of people around, and I know that EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU saw people show up and disappear, and especially saw thrawn show up, post some stupid quote, ninja vote, disappear, while not even pretending for 1 second to be helpful/interested/townie/anything.

If anyone would like to speak on behalf of thrawn, they ought to do so now. Otherwise, assuming I have the power to kill off someone who's voting me when I get lynched, I will take him with me (or the peruvian for fun). Assuming I don't have that power, I won't.

But seriously, you guys should be lynching a not-me.

What was your biggest mistake in the game austin?
being truthful, not being around when people dropped votes and ran off immediately, not voting and pushing a single person HARD earlier in the day in order to have had someone that I was being voted for AGAINST.

As it stands, we had a muck of possibilities, then this check, so all the votes flock to me and there's very little...accountability. It's not like people are pulling off a particular subject or two. If we'd had a small set of possible lynches with lots of votes, the votes on me MIGHT be more interesting.

Because it's UNLIKELY that mafia claims a main character in the game randomly on D1 unless they're ACTUALLY that role.

Because my faction is an element, and golden sun has 4 element thingies, and it APPEARS from the flips last night that there are 4 elements, it would make perfectly perfect von perfect sense that each element is a faction.

Which means that dudes who ain't elements are unlikely to be a faction.

And are therefore town.

I think that is SLIGHTLY game-breaking-ish, so I could see a couple named dudes being factional, already having djinn, or being STRONGLY associated with a particular element or something? But overall, the claim makes it kinda likely he's town.

I will admit that I 100% did not think about it being a failed recruit. There was a chance in my head you were faking it, but I SHOULD have thought about the fake recruiting, coulda tried to poop on your claim.
