It's not a terrible play if they're able to out a town PR. I don't know why they would think that they'd be able to do it though, because it wouldn't make sense to claim as the town PR is still basically vanilla town at that point.

So sidesprang and Grackaroni make a play that they both claim power roles as mafia on N1.
What if someone like me or you counter claim them? Who do you think gets lynched? Or what if thrawn had flipped blue?

Again, what's the point?

Because his case was about Mattchew being passive and consistently avoiding conflict. Either yours was not about that, or I didn't read yours if it was.

My case was that Mattchew hasn't said shit in this game which is the same thing. "Avoiding confliction" and "being passive" are just fancy words of saying the same thing.

You'd also have just as much of a chance of getting the doc to switch to you. And weren't you worried that you'd actually get countered? If you're town, you risked outing a PR for no possible gain. This is only a scum play.

I don't know why anyone at least as town would take that claim seriously. Did you read what i just wrote to Robik? Also why are you only questioning sidesprang about the claim and not Grack? Why does his claim ring more alarm bells? Is there any reason why Grack's claim is not scummy at all?

SURE BRO. Here's a scummy meta case on Mordanis:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=331498&user=Mordanis&view=all

See ya. (Actually, do compare the games).

That's not a case, that's a filter.
How does that imply he is mafia compared to this game and how is this relevant because as far as i know from the database Mordanis has not played on TL in a long time?

Some musings as I read the thread:

Thrawn
Not a bad NK selection.
He was unanimously considered as town, and lurked enough that he could be a blue snipe as well.
Reads wise, he wasnt advocating anyone with a high degree of certainty towards the end; unless you count

Alright, I just did some quick math and by my count, even if we only mislynch, there won't be any LYLO until D5. My last game, I was town and was never scummy enough to get lynched or good/right enough to be shot and felt that I was not the player town wanted in a LYLO. As such I am not entirely opposed to being lynched D2 if there aren't any good cases. I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but aside from one head of vivax and thrawn (perhaps robik), it seems like most people are saying that I would be a good lynch for similar reasons. Also, apologies in advance as my method for this post has been to quote every post I want to comment on in a new tab, and the tabs seem to have gotten jumbled. The upshot of this is that the order will probably be off slightly.

Also what is this teabagging? afraid to google.........

You'd think that he'd leave his vote on his policy lynch then. It's not like he has some other great read that he really needs to not waste his vote.

I don't know at all how I feel about the shitfest with Round's scum claim, but I don't think anything can be derived from this sequence JJD is looking at. To me this seems like SS simply hasn't had enough experience with this kind of situation, and changed his mind about the scum claim with the amount of analysis being poured into that play. Being open to changes in information is a very town-oriented attitude. *More on this when there is discussion on SS's switch from shiao to QP*

This is what I meant when I said "JJD has done nothing except to say he wants to kill people for reasons that don't have anything to do with lynching mafia." His whole filter is like that. When he talks about who he;s ok with lynching he only talks about lurker policy, or in grack's case troll policy lynching. JJD doesn't care at all about finding and lynching mafia.

JarJar, can you please say if you are suspicious of anyone who isn't a lurker/troll?

I totally agree with this post.

Soooooo, it's a good thing I didn't access my computer last night or I would have spammed some dumb drunk shit.

Vivax and roundabound,

The 4 of you failed me.


gumshoe,

A lot is going to be expected of you. Please make the best use of your posts. There are a lot of really towny people in my eyes and just a few scummy ones, so you're gonna have to prove yourself.

I really don't like this post. Yeah, Shiao wasn't great this game, but I expect more than "I think you're shitty, die". Not sure if scummy or giving up out of boredom...

I'm cautious about how many people are jumping on Shiao. Even if I think he's the scummiest I've come across in the thread, the reasons aren't all that strong. Sure he has little content and doesn't seem to be improving them, but day 1 townies do this.

Mattchew, I think this is what you usually do, but can you give a little more detail to who you are accusing? I wouldn't insult the game of mafia by calling them reads. You seem "ok with lynching X" about all of the time. The only thing I've liked about what you said so far is about sidespring. Do you have more on every other player in the game you've mentioned?

Sketch as fuck. This reads as the most cautious scummy post I've ever read. I want to vote for X but I don't want to look bad when X flips green. Soft defends X while calling X scummy. Calls X a premature bandwagon but isn't suspicious of those who are in it.

When the lynch does not gain momentum see what he does.
He drops out his scumread/policy (which is weak in the first place) and suddenly wants to lynch someone else.
Now this makes no sense, if he feels like we are mafia so strong, why not push the lynch then? He's trying to find a lynch, not mafia.

You are dodging the issue. It does not matter if you unvoted first or whatever. You unvoted after VIVAX, Rob and thrawn clearly disagreed with the lynch. lol.

You also clearly said "they are claiming mafia as mafia or deserve to be lynched even if they are town because of policy". It's a policy lynch and noone else's opinion should matter.

You are making shit up, you clearly unvoted because other people who look town disagreed with the lynch and in the first place it should not even matter. scum.

@Rayn, go check newbie LI. There a guy votes himself, which makes me vote on him for that reason. I also leave the door open for unvoting if he instead will start fighting for himself instead of giving up. I was town.

So why do I have to be mafia for doing something simmilar this game?

Because your vote is on ShiaoPi before Mocsta's play (1).
Then you vote for us, and give reasoning which implicates you are voting us for policy. You literally say we deserve do die regardless of our alignment (2).
After three players who are amongst the strongest in this game disagree with the lynch you retract from the vote for no reasoning (2).
Then you say you are okay with QP/Mordanis dying and vote for QP (1).

1) Before and after voting for us your mind changes from ShiaoPi -> QP/Mordanis. None of those people have posted in this timeframe. This makes no sense because there is no reason for you to suddenly think QP/Mord are more likely mafia than ShisoPi is because none of those people have posted between when you changed your mind. You give no reasoning for this change of mind. It makes no sense from town perspective.

2) Your reasoning for voting us is in the first place bullshit because you do not even think about the motive behind Mocsta's actions. This means you are voting for us as policy, which in itself is fine. What's not fine is that you retract from the vote when you realize the lynch is not going through (after people disagree). This makes no sense from town perspective because policy lynch is a policy lynch and you keep your vote on the policy lynch if you do it in the first place.

I really don't agree with any of Round's points save the part about the vote switch. I don't think it is rational for SS to switch from Shiao to Round to QP. It seems to me that SS is afraid to take a firm stance, but out of inexperience rather than scummy self-protection. I do however think that Round was desperately trying to get back into people's town list, and pressuring SS was the best way for him/them to accomplish that. So the scum claim made Round look scummier and SS look townier.

there is a very clear difference in how shiaopi plays scum and town. It does not take a lot of meta research to see it. I've never seen someone more metable actually.

I think shiaopi might be a better lynch than side.

Another meta case, and this one lead to a mislynch. I'm gonna look at this in more detail in the morning, but I'm feeling that vivax is super scummy right now.

I think the abortive case had some momentum for a second against thrawn is very suspicious. The way Rob voted for Thrawn for lurking, and then !Hey Presto!, vivax comes in showing that thrawn is apparently well known for being lurky as scum, well it all seems very wrong. vivax backed down almost immediately, and Rob stayed the course until thrawn started talking. Now vivax left without any more reads after that. Rob did the *exact* opposite, posting a lot and picking up a read (based on thrawn's thoughts and a joke). Essentially what I'm trying to say here is that the behavior between the two of these definitely warrants more investigation.

I really don't like the way that vivax posted fluff, gave someone else evidence to start a case, and then left it all alone for everyone else to take care of, and then disappeared right afterwards. And then there's this post:

do you talk a lot as scum too?

vivax goes from one hell of a scum read on thrawn (without really pushing anything) to one hell of a town read on Robik (without telling us why). In short, vivax seems incredibly confident about being right but hasn't really done anything useful aside from helping another player make a case. That seems like as much of a scum mindset as you can get.
Red: He is a self-proclaimed "novella-case" maker, yet is only producing glimmers of thoughts with no concrete substance.
Bold Red: If this is a proven scum mindset, where is the vote?

Quite reasonably because "do you talk this much as scum" implies that you meant Rob was a town read. Robik didn't say "I talk a lot as town", but rather "I like forum mafia because I can make a ton of content".
Offers insight on post phrasing for something insignificant; yet, can't reach vote-worthy conclusions on his own reads.

Mordanis did you reach any conclusions about robik? I can't tell if you're trying to sell both robik/vivax as a scum team or if you thought robik could be mafia purely based off of his own play.


I'm not going after Robik at present. I felt something was off between the two that warranted further investigation, which has led me to believe that vivax is the scummier of the two. Right now, I'm not exactly feeling incredibly rushed to get a lynch in the next few hours, so I'm curious to see the way kush plays vivax.
Red: Apparently now isn't chasing Robik; but doesnt clear him as town either.....
Blue: Not rushed to get a lynch, because waiting for others to do things- -- yet wont produce the mega contributions promised either.

The more I look at the early game, the worse vivax looks. vivax's meta case on thrawn came 3 hours in. A few minutes later, Robik asks vivax for a game where thrawn is town, and vivax doesn't post for the next ~half hour. then 3 minutes after thrawn explains his little move, there's vivax. To me, this comes across as vivax cherrypicking stuff to try to get a lynch early.[/erd]

Hopefully more coming soon!
Red:The case on Vivax is time-stamp conjecture summarised by cherrypicking "STUFF" that isnt even fleshed out for us simpletons
Blue: 3rd promise of more contribution

Well what I don't like about Mordanis is the fact that he doesn't seem the least bit suspicious about thrawn. When a guy is lurking and posting nonsense you would actually want him to post more and better stuff so you can get a read on him.

Hence I can't explain from a town pov why he doesn't want thrawn to be pressured, and thrawn himself already pointed out:

Mordanis could be scum, his suspicions of vivax/robik look like they stem from him having knowledge of my alignment. He's suspicious of people because of their suspicions of a townie which is classic fake-scumhunting.

I thought this was apparent but I guess I have to explain this. The case on thrawn was the first case with anything to it. There were two people behind it, and it seemed like a mostly meta case (as I recall, Robik was much happier with his read after seeing the game vivax linked). The thing is, I don't know thrawn, or really anyone else well enough to make a meta case or even believe one without outside confirmation.So, I did what I can do, and thought about the posts and the order and such, to try to find scum through analysis. I thought (and still do) that, if there is a strong meta case against someone who has played many games on TL, there will be several games that will show this pattern, and multiple people will be able to verify that the meta case is reasonable.
An acceptable point of view. And a solid reason to be unsure of Mordanis alignment. Henceforth I treat this post as null until more flips are given.
Why?
Scum know who town is. Say Thrawn is town; its an entirely plausible contribution for scum to make (Against a weak/incorrect Vivax case). This is independant of Vivax alignment.

thrawn timeline:

As per my last post, could someone who knows thrawn let me know if this isa reasonable case or not?
Why does this still matter. The game has progressed further; Vivax and his hydra buddy have made more content than pertains to just thrawn; yet mordanis is fixated here talking abotu absolutely nothing else YET NOT PROBING THEM TO ELUCIDATE MORE INFORMATION.


Vivax, mordanis is scum
QED
Please lynch, me falling asleep here.
I find this particularly opportunistic, "read: scummy" to avoid commenting on.

My only doubt is that everyone else in the thread ignored my post as well.

Mordanis, please respond to my post above.


Gumshoe
The RB claim looks good to me. Lack of counter-claim; really low post count suggests potential blue lurking.

The case on Mattchew looks good to me too. In particular:

Also, that was some bullshit mocsta pulled, fucking awful play from either alignment and policy lynching you guys is what I want to do, but is not the way to lynch scum imo, cause i think your town
Heres what this post is saying line by line.

2: Says Moc is a jerk, thinks hes town cause reasons?

The only reason he dropped his vote on us is because Thrawn queried him about his double standards.

This is certainly a solid lynch for today given his overall apathy for the game; and then sudden burst in play when a policy lynch opportunity came about.


Rayn
Calm down. I fully get what you are picking up on; and if Gumshoe was considered a decent player its definitely a scum slip.
However, Gumshoe is known for "floating" and being "oblivious" as town, and dare I say this falls under that category. His explanation seemed plausible and regardless the RB makes sense in context of his play.

Shame on you Kush + Grack for jumping onto Rayn for this. If anything this is quintissential town Rayn play and you two in particular should know better.


A thought I am jotting down for consideration with more flips

Why not RB Thrawn + shoot Thrawn? Obviously this is conjecture, but I am working with a theory that the GF exists ==> cop + doctor exist and scum went for a double blue hit.

Now I get Rayn jumping over Gumshoe. What I don't get is this guy:

Town wont, but mafia could know there is no possibility for Doc and Cop togheter. [red]Might actually be a legit scumslip.
All game this guy hasnt looked for scum. Instead he looks for easy ways to vote people.
Policy on roundabound.
Scumslip on Gumshoe.

Theres zero content in his filter as evidenced"

I am definitely comfortable with eradicating Sidesprang.


The other guy standing out to me is Bum; mainly his lack of doing anything since his policy lynch failed on me.
However, the fact that Mordanis is voting for Bum puts be at unease. This is moreso a finger of suspicion/reminder than anything.


Overall, Mattchew is solid case and I support his lynch.

honestly more rereading is necessary to be sure about round. I was just doing preliminary reaction testing on them and THEY FAILED.

No kush

You do this every game and I grow tired of it.

Vote or fuck off because all you are doing now is distracting from the Matthew lynch.
