No, I meant Aristotle. That guy got away with so much and everybody's all "oooh, what a great philosopher, ooh." Well, he's been absent for thousands of years.

I disagree, what JL and rayn are pointing out IS scummy to me. He's contradicting himself and playing exactly like how he says scum players play.
With that said though... with artanis jumping on him 2/3 of my current scum reads are voting on him. That doesn't sit well with me. Still want to see what crossfire does though but i'm already reconsidering.
Why don't you think what rayn and JL are saying about zarepath is scummy kush? It looks scummy to me and clearly them.
|
I actually really hate JL's reasoning on why zarepath is scummy.
|
Balla, can you explain your scumread on me? Also, how strong is your Crossfire read?
|
@barristan because I went back and reread his filter again, and again, and again. Then I went back to where the they fit into the thread and looked at context.
Why do you hate it suki?
Here is my only doubt about the zarepath lynch.
He blatantly does everything which he calls scummy. If he's scum he's clearly not being very careful.
I still think he's scum.
|
Crossfire has 3 posts of substance.
One is policy talk. Easy scum starter.
One he dives kush which does nothing. Kush plays however the fuck he wants and he comes back with a null read. That's odd in itself after all the work he claims to have done.
His third is a case on rayn which isnt even much of a case in my opinion.
He's not helping the town at all and not really playing the game.

You tunneled Rayn for not playing along with your troll, which is fine. You can have a scum read on him for that if you want. But he's done so much more than just not play along with you, which you didn't really say anything about. Your re-entry is consistent though. I just feel like you can and should have been doing so much more. Which is why I'm underwhelmed by your play so far.
My read on crossfire is what I posted in my case, nothing has changed since he hasn't come back and posted anything. So still scum.
JL is the weaker of the 3 that I don't feel very confident about.
|
Also I'm still having trouble understanding why you chose to try to get rayn to counterclaim your scum claim. What happens if he plays along?
Rayn told me it was a joke and wrote it off so I didn't pay it any mind but it turns out you had some real motivation for it so I do want an explanation afterall.
|
EBWOP: Why you chose to claim SCUM as opposed to anything else.
|
Suki your basic idea is that zarepath cannot be scum because he brings up his case ONE time after making it then drops it all together?
If there are two lynch candidates and you're one of them don't you pick option b regardless of alignment? His switch to bum was an easy choice imo.

Rayn told me it was a joke and wrote it off so I didn't pay it any mind but it turns out you had some real motivation for it so I do want an explanation afterall. It's not about if he plays along. I was near certain he would. It's about how he would approach it that would allow me insight into the mindset with which he starts the game. It was also meant as kickstart for the game so we could go straight into scumhunting rather than talk about setup and policy and all that jazz.

Bum's right, if your case isn't getting traction why waste people's time. If bum really think's VE's scum he can always wait and try to get him lynched later.
I hate this logic. Also if town Bum really thought that VE wasn't worth pursuing he should have a better target no? Rather than just saying 'welp no ones listening to me I guess I'll just withdraw from the game'
@balla It took me a minute to understand what the hell that post is saying. But yes it is contradicting his case completely. Backwards ass logic. He's scum for being defensive and he's scum for saying fuck it, lynch me if I'm scum.
wrong again, those are two different things.

1) I simply have not had much time so far this game. Sundays are always my busiest days of the week (and this goes back to all of my games) and I barely had a chance to read the thread then, and today I've been doing family stuff b/c holiday and poking back in. My activity level should rise appropriately the rest of the week, but still probably not to The Game levels as I have another kid now and my schedule's tightened.
I reject the notion that my "focus" on VE has been a simple parroting of other's comments, as that's not what I did at all. His switch to bum looked very suspicious and I did my own analysis of him, and that case was the result. My case was completely ignored and I HAVE tried to push it back into people's attention, so I think that's a mischaracterization.
2) You talk about me voting and pushing my scum reads as if this is a pattern I've established in this game, when I've had one main read that I've made a case on so far, and my analysis was more in-depth than essentially every argument leading up to a vote in this thread. I don't see how you consider my analysis of VE leading up to my vote on him as being worse than VE voting for bum, his only justification being... that it's okay that he's giving up on his earlier vote.
Zarepath: VE switched to bum with no justification -> VE is suspicious -> Zarepath provides a case against VE and votes him. When Zarepath switched to Bum likewise he also gave his reasons. I don't see what you're saying is 'kinda bad' here.
On January 22 2014 03:56 JonnyLaw wrote: Yeah, your last post sealed it for me. Your explanation for bum being scummy is that he took his vote off VE when no one would follow his lead. You took your vote off VE when you thought it was an easy thing to do. They're not obviously different at all.
...
He tried to back up his case for two days and it gained no traction. You abandoned yours after two fucking minutes when VE said lynch me if I'm scum. You literally have one post saying I made a case and that's it. After that it's like total 180 and you jump on the same person VE has his vote on.
Zarepath admitted he was tunneling and backed off. This is different than bum backing off for no reason even after VE failed to satisfyingly answer bum's questions.
Jumping on the same person VE has his vote on when he still finds VE suspicious is bad, though. I didn't catch that.

It's fine to suspect two people who are both voting for each other as long as you're more suspicious of one than the other. You can't guess the entire scum team at once

Uh if you're town you push the person you think is the scummiest, regardless if that person is a candidate or not.
If bum is scum, which I think he is, then I don't see scum zarepath voting for bum. It doesn't make sense.
From my point of view either zarepath or bum are scum. It doesn't make sense for both of them to be scum.

Rather than just saying 'welp no ones listening to me I guess I'll just withdraw from the game' Do you think this makes Bum more likely to be scum though? If you're a townie and you're certain of one player being scum it can be very demotivating when no one refuses to listen. In light of Bum's general attitude it feels more like he's genuinely frustrated to me.

what do you guys think about lynching wile e?
There are two main reasons I think he's mafia. He hasn't made an attempt to help find scum and he's not displaying the classic alakaslam townie paranoia.
None of his scumhunting contributions are actually contributions. They're a combination of one liners and half-accusations. He made a big entrance to the thread and lots of people talked about him and/or called him mafia, but when asked for his conclusions about people who commented on him he could only come up with:

You just said a while ago you don't like kush's plan which means you don't take claims for granted. Who cares if someone claims named VT when most likely being lynched. It does not mean shit unless you can tell for sure their claim cannot be false which you can't.
If we have named VT's claim now we have 0-4 claims. In case we have 0 claims we learn the setup. If we have 1-3 claims we learn that there are 0-3 fakeclaims which in fact tells us absolutely nothing as you can't confirm anything. If we have 4 claims we learn that we have at least 1 scum in the claimed VT's, one fucking mafia in a group of four people, lol.
In every situation mafia learns how many power roles town has, possibly even the whole setup depending on the claim numbers and their roles.
Do i need to explain more why the claiming does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOOD TO THE TOWN AND ONLY HELPS MAFIA?!?!?!!?
VE - Crossfire - thesmurfdude / all those people look terrible. VE + Crossfire for not realising something obvious while agreeing that we should not blindly trust claims smurfdude for not reading the thread or if he has for making a useless post that does not contribute towards anything and asks an useless question that has been explained in thread already.

This point relates to my meta (it is scummy on its own, but applies especially to alakaslam) claim about alakaslam. In every town alakaslam game I've seen he becomes paranoid of others players to the point that it strongly influences what he is willing to post in thread. If he knows a certain player has good scum play, he is extra paranoid about them and will start spamming 'svengali' into the thread until he becomes nearly incoherent. That's why I asked him to look at the player list, I wanted to see if I could get this kind of reaction.... I didn't. Not only does he not give me the answer I expect from town Alakaslam, he says that X X and X will probably lead town, but aren't "as far as (I) see it," which he doesn't follow up on. I still have no idea if that statement about those players actually influenced his reads or not.
Here's a vote:

Doesn't make any sense. There is no implied reasoning in that post to suggest that kush should be lynched. It's merely a way for alak to buddy rayn and vote kush for no reason. Everything after that is completely useless and doesn't look like it came from a person who is trying to find mafia.

Right now bum looks really bad for pushing such a shitty case on VE, then asking VE questions and when those questions are not answered satisfyingly.... drops the case because nobody's listening to him. The town explanation is he's just frustrated townie not willing to waste any more time.. but if he is, who is more suspicious to him? Why drop your case on your top scum read who hasn't answered any of your questions, when you don't have anyone else who reads scummy to you?
