See, I probably should have just claimed boxer when thrawn did, but last time I lied as town I got insta-lynched. I couldn't do that now, because you did nail me on knowing the set-up. I could have been mafia knowing about the set-up.

There is a very slim chance we still have a doctor, but that would involve someone lying, and not protecting rayn. I doubt this scenario very much.

I support claiming.

This game in a nutshell.

I checked someone who is probably town. I don't know yet, I'm a Parity Cop, I only get information the second night.

Set-up C means even if Zarepath or thrawn were lying, they couldn't know if there was a cop or not. I knew that, but scum can't.

bum: my problem with your claim is that hte timing makes absolutely no fucking sense. You don't get any results back until day 3, so why in the hell would you claim right now? It's just mind-bogglingly terrible timing for a real Parity Cop to claim unless you were within an hour of getting lynched.


I believe I was already outed with suki's analysis. I would have liked to not claim, but I think my play being understood for this lynch is more important then a potential scum check later. I suggest everyone filter Artanis and get a read. I am fairly certain JohnnyLaw is town.

I don't see myself lynching any of Jlaw, Kush or thrawn. You'd have to have really solid evidence to cancel out their play on the day 1 lynch.

What I really want to hear is Artanis talk about his read on suki.

I feel really strongly that JLaw being a mislynch today would lose a lot of traction for town has right now.

1. Interaction with Balla seems fake.
He pressures Balla a bit, then when Balla answers him he doesn't do anything with it, just continues to call him scum. He knows the alignment of Balla already so he doesn't actually care about the answers. He just wants interaction for distancing.

2. His read on Kush makes no sense.

I think kush is scum. I think balla is scum. I think kush put a bus vote on balla and got an easy out when I said something. No one else will vote balla. Lynch kush.


So why is it that once people start LOOKING AT balla, suddenly Jonny is more interested in lynching Kush?

Balla I still think you're scum.

You post essentially nothing this game. Then you pop back into the thread and pick a convenient lurker to lynch. You're not making an effort to solve this game.

How is sheeping rayn by saying he's here to move the game forward any type of acceptable play? In the last game you kept commenting oh how you play too nicely and trying to FIND SCUM while I randomly harassed people into talking.

you ask questions, but pose them doubtfully like you're not sure and don't care if they're answered. Your play this game is completely scummy. in 40 hours all you've managed to conclude is that rayn (nine pages of filter) is town and you can sheep him safely while crossfire (one page of filter) looks bad so you can post something without fear of him coming back at you with a defense.


It certainly seems like he still "thinks Balla is scum", so why not vote? Maybe his next vote will be on Balla....

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.

You win. I'm not going to pursue this charade if no one else finds it worth while.


If he did not ACTUALLY think he would never take his vote off without VE satisfactorily answering his questions (which is the case, as evidenced by him taking his vote off of him), what was the purpose of stating it in such a dramatic way? I'm thinking for appearance, which is actually backed up by the second quote, where he shares his rationale for dropping the vote, which is purely because of what everyone else thinks.

The ideal townie would pursue his read no matter what, but a non-ideal townie isn't necessarily scum. What shouts scummy to me is the transparent motivation of focusing on how everyone else perceives his arguments, and not on his arguments themselves.


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.



Nope...it's on Zarepath. So him saying he's thought Balla was scum like all D1 is pretty meaningless, because when Balla was being discussed, there was never any "Hey yeah! I like that guy for scum too!" or a vote or anything. In fact, when the votes started dropping, Jonny was on the other guy.

He's thought Balla was scum all game long, but doesn't really interact with him much, nor does he vote for him until he's already dead and buried.

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.

Is there anything you find scummy about Crossfire that you find difficult to imagine from a town point of view?



No, I can imagine them. He's just lurking though so it's hard to say.

So there's this thing he found interesting except he could see it done as both alignments. Okay.

5. Keeps trying to get cred for the Balla lynch
After the lynch, Jonny seems more interested in getting credit for the lynch despite not having voted for him until the last moment than anything else.

6. Can't keep his own story straight
Rayn already said it.

He's had one clear scumread all the game. When something unexpected happens he has no idea what to do and then calls Balla's posting town?!?! But it was scummy before? And after. lol.

Hell if it were up to me I'd lynch balla today but that doesn't seem likely. I've played 3 games with him in the last 2-3 months and this is not how town balla should be playing. So, when something's not working find another scummer to lynch. And I think Rayn did exactly that when he found Zarepath.

no no no.
This does not make any sense.


That should be pretty much slam dunk already. Now for the recent posts which seem to have given people a townread on him somehow.

7. Case on Suki
Cases can be bad and that doesn't make the person that makes them scummy. However, the choice of target on its own doesn't make sense. When you're a townie and you feel down and out and there's one person trying to motivate you to try again, who do you filter first to try and find scum? Generally it isn't the person trying to motivate you. So why would a scum JL do it?

Because she was the best target that no one had really made a case on yet. Making a case on Bum wouldn't get you any credit because VE's already done it. Suki was the one with the filter easiest to portrait as scum that no one did yet. A perfect target for a scum case. The effort involved wasn't too much either, simply quoting posts and adding a line here and there and suddenly towncred galore.

8. Instant flip with town consensus
Okay, now that the town cred has been accrued, let's see who we can actually lynch. Artanis is getting a lot of votes, let's plop my vote down there. What's strange is that the thing that's showing I'm town the most, the effort I put into getting my target lynched, is somehow scummy to him. From all the things in my filter that's what he points out. It shows a lack of a town mindset.

Lynch JonnyLaw. He's scum. Lynch me if I'm wrong.



1) While you bring up a lot of neat points, artanis, none of it is really damning. JL talking about balla and not voting him until the end is curious, but eventually he does when it matters, I don't think he is trying to gain anything by it. It looks more like a town thought process.

2) His vote on kush is bad, but again that looks like faulty town play. He never apears to call kush town, just saying "that's how he plays", as either alignment. He is interested in how rayn came to his conclusion. He does think it over before he votes him, the distance between those posts you gave about kush are hours away from each and alot happens in between then.

3) His vote on zarepath isn't awful either. EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS SCUM. I would have rather lynched VE, and I ate flak for taking my vote off him, and you had a town read on me at the time. His reasons are on par with someone trying to scumhunt. You would have to reach a good amount to turn that into scum that is slightly bussing.

4) Rayn accuses people without purpose to generate reads. I think JLaw's attacks have a similar goal; to draw out content from certain players. Crossfire had barely any content. He was attempting to bring attention to it an wasn't pushing CF as anything. All of this just indicates that JLaw is reading the thread and trying to come up with reads.

5/6) I think he deserves some... His post with suki about balla "playing his town game" is out of place, though.

7) I find this very silly. He is developing reads, and going into territory no one has gone before is town, not mafia. Your reasons why this is scummy are completely far-fetched.

8) This is alignment-read bias. If you are really convinced someone is scum, everything they do is going to have a mafia reason.

I think a lot of what JLaw has said is questionable, but 0% of it is anti-town, and you have to ignore the vote on balla to even start to get a non-town read on him. [b]Please reconsider the wagon on JLaw, he is 95% town from what I can see.

There is no reason for him to be lying. The way he talks in the thread about claiming before that indicates it as well. Then he jumps on balla when it matters.

Here's a fun game.

Pick Their Power

That is what VE does as town. He's probably town this game to if that game told me anything. That game also involed a lot of me being as deceitful as possible since my alter-ego died. If you really want insight into how I play a lying game as scum, that would be the one.

I'm assuming these are all town:
kush
thrawn
JLaw
crossfire

If any of those are mafia, we may have lost. This is the order of in terms of most scummy to least scummy
