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 ![]() instead of this | ||

That earns you an askew glance. | ||

You're going to pick TWO to answer. Then you answer those two questions and get to ask me TWO questions. Yesssssssssssssssssssssss. (1) What's the BEST post hapa has made and the WORST post? (2) Is there anyone in this game that you've played like...a chunk of games with? Who do you think you know BEST? (3) What are you thoughts on Meapak? Geript, I know it doesn't need saying, but don't shoot marv. No blessings. | ||

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. | ||

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? 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. | ||

You got my approval. 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? | ||

On May 22 2014 04:38 geript wrote: Kita later.Austin what's your read of Sqrt, Hapa, Kita and BH. 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! | ||

On May 22 2014 05:21 Blazinghand wrote: (2) is why I ask, sorta. 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. 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? | ||

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 On May 21 2014 13:38 ritoky wrote: 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. 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. 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.SECOND SIZEABLE POST Volunteering here is some minor plus points, but ... the statements themselves are negative points. On May 21 2014 15:15 ritoky wrote: Essentially, ritoky volunteered to call a bunch of people null. 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. 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. Specifics - + Show Spoiler + On April 29 2014 11:58 ritoky wrote: 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.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. On April 29 2014 12:14 ritoky wrote: 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.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. On April 29 2014 13:52 ritoky wrote: 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.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. 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: 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.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. | ||

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? 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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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.

It isn't that wishy washy. There are maybe more sentences than needed but each sentence adds some more meaning. Specifically:

On May 22 2014 08:01 Koshi wrote: 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. 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. 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." | ||

Together with Chalis (Heart), he is one of the commanders of a secretive military nation named Tuaparang. I'm not really sure what you're asking here. Maybe clarify? 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.

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 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. | ||

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).

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? | ||

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.

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... ...that doesn't really say much about anything. He calls Cav a "slight shade of pink", and that's the closest he gets to a scumread.

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. | ||

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 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.

Your Valenius stuff doesn't read like someone who legitimately has a suspicion and is watching that guy.

They make it appear your read is made up.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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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

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.

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.

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... On May 23 2014 03:12 sqrtofneg1 wrote: 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: On May 22 2014 19:48 ritoky wrote: Well, I am going to sleep and I am not sure if I will make it back before the deadline. For me it's between WOS and layabout. 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.

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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? | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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 scummyStep 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" | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.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. 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? (I think he's more a shot than a lynch, peruvian) | ||

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. This scummy since Rainbows clearly cares his image. He cares that people see him as town. He cares enough to make a point of being the center of discussion. Scum care for their image. Here is another case of Rainbows caring about his image: 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 | ||

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.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. | ||

Like it's a clear natural progression IMO. Doesn't look or feel forced. 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).

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

He'd also probably continue to share useful information. I'd 100% rather lynch the Mercury faction (according to kita earlier, Mercury is the faction that is hostile towards Mars). austin, do you have any idea about the remaining player(s) in Mercury? 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
