I don't know, mocsta played restart basically by himself most of the game. He never got mad at teammates for doing stupid things. He was a very resilient scum, and this is a complete turnaround. He's probably sick of rolling scum? I think we should make sure that Rayn actually hasn't gone AWOL, thought I don't know what he could say. Whatever, emotions i guess.

Feel free to hammer raycsta

Their is a big difference in asking to be lynched and claiming scum. I would consider asking to be lynched a null tell because it's TL mafia, but you can't say "I'm scum claiming" and not hinting at a joke whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, Rayn likes to be stupid to prove a point in dramatic ways, but I doubt they went over what mocsta just said as idle lynch bait.

While I would have not opted to lynch roundabout anytime soon, you can't say he's the townie player just because it's a hydra with two vet heads. They pushed robot, then he shat townieness ok can't lynch. They pushed donotpanic, he shat townieness, nope no good either. It already did us enough good that we can punish roundabound for scum claiming. If they come back and discuss it, I certainly will listen, but not lynching Round is not in the cards for us right now.

You realize how ban worthy this is regardless of their alignment? You are able to force yourself to get lynched in any game at anytime with scum claiming, and barring some power, it's almost always bad for your side. He's not joking, he may be being a defeatist and a drama queen, but that justifies nothing.

Is he waiting to post something game changing when he hits 6 votes? You think "we've figured out the scum team, and the only way to prove it is to get lynched right now!", which no one can be that sure, sounds like a reasonable thing to do? You think mocsta/Rayn have already dubbed the town as hopeless in a joint agreement, and have decided that they need to go against the entire spirit of the game to show us how dumb we are?

Stop insulting yourself and us by thinking this is rational. This is condescending and revolting no matter what these two think they are doing. They are going to get lynched, but if at least one of them doesn't want to face TL mafia exile, which they very well might, they need to come back, apologize, and play the rest of the game out as best as they can.

I'm not having this shit.

what is scummy about pressuring people until they shit towniness?


If you are trying to fit a meta and you end up doing more harm then good for your side? I thought what rayn and mocsta did pressure wise had fantastic results, but who is to say this strictly a town tell? You don't think a scum Rayn who isn't yelling questions at every little thing someone does to generate a response would be an obvious meta alarm?

Their is such a thing as benefitting town too much as mafia. It's a null tell most of the time, but before the scum claim, I wasn't super concerned with what Round was, because the hydra had already done a lot for town. You have to lynch people that drag the town backwards early. That why policy lynches and mislynches happen early. There is too much WIFOM in going after people who are protown because it makes them look good.

I'm saying that we can't cancel out a scum claim with protown prescence. It's a whole different scale.

I translate this as

""blah blah i'm so mad at mocsta.... i'm beginning to think he's town but that makes me even more mad at him so i'm not going to worry about if he's scum and instead i'll mindlessly talk about policy lynching until he's lynched"

is what he is doing banworthy? that is something that can be dealt with after the game. right now all you need to worry about is lynching mafia


Don't be naive. I may be a bit heated, but you know I always project both sides, and come to a conclusion. The only reason I'm considering Round as town is because it's against his win condition from both alignments. I'm fairly certain he's going to flip scum, and he's going to need a ban. It's completely unfair to his scum team no matter who they are.

so your case against them is

1 rayn fits his town meta exactly, therefor he is mafia

2 typing the words "I am scum claiming" is some magical spell that auto-confirms the poster as scum



You are being extradonarily contrary for whatever reason, because you know them well. You are letting your bias cloud something very simple.

1) I'm saying Rayns meta should be a null tell, and it being naturally protown, he has to choose anti-meta or anti-town. I never say it's scummy, I'm merely stating that it should be null tell, not a town tell. I would never lynch a Rayn doing his usual thing because it helps town, as is evident in this very thread. I'm also going to give him the credit that he would be able to do it as mafia if it was in is best interest. I don't think if be able to tell, and in both cases, he should he will survive longer as long as he never over extends imitating his own play. I think that's something reasonable he would agree with.

2) Yes! You can't say that. It's completely unnecessary as town unless it's obviously implied. I'm usually good on picking up on these things, and this appears completely serious to me. How many times have you had to tell a newer player about a joking interaction? You don't think with the varied player base here mocsta wouldn't make it abundantly clear that he was joking? And pray tell, what alterior motive would justify this?

I need to sleep, and I'm not taking my vote off.

Ok

We are lynching ShiaoPi.

While I think Round is scum, because there is no town logic whatsoever behind his posting, I could be wrong and this might be how that entity thinks they can scumhunt. I have no intention of dropping them from my scumlist anytime soon because it in no way helps us.Though, what mocsta did was such a vomit-inducing attempt to be clever that he clearly did it idly without thinking it through. I guess that is slightly feasible to justify doing from a town perspective.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT LAST STATEMENT DOESN'T MEAN? THAT I THINK I'M GIVING HIM A TOWN READ. Yes thrawn, I used "is" and "town" in the same sentence, but thats looking at angles, not a read. GET THAT STRAIGHT YOU ILLITERATE BUFFOON. I'm stating there is a chance, so he is not the auto lynch. I was wrong in pushing that sentiment.

ShiaoPi is the lynch that would do us the most good. My mouth started watering when I read the bolded part. Sure you can grind it out to WIFOM, but I love how tangible Roundabound made it with this post.

I'm not going to pretend to know what this whole post implies, but it's purposefully confusing and it's bad, but not completely uninformative. We were clearly on the road to lynching ShiaoPi. It wasn't until Moc's post that we got off of him. The timing is interesting.

Moc accomplished nothing with his claim/un-claim of scum. Everyone knew it wouldn't. I don't think I need to detail that there is very little difference in town voting proclaimed scum and mafia voting proclaimed scum. His arguments against me voting him immediately fall short because my accusations towards him are perfectly acceptable as both alignments. You play against your win-con, I am going to lynch you. It's generically going to be the response that 90% of players give. Trolling indicates that you are trying to trip up someone's thought process, and if you do that intentionally in public, you are encouraging chaotic behavior which is awfully antie-town. There was no fruitful read that came of Moc's claim. Not Gumshoe, not Mattchew, not me. No one.

But maybe ShiaoPi.

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.

On vivax
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


After throwing red reads around on everyone involved, he goes after a single person that was not involved in the entire incident. The case on Mordanis is weak. It's day one and he is being quoted on promising content and lack of a vote. That's it. It isn't good, but it is far from lynch material when there are worse individuals here.

Now sidesprang, who I admit is not on my townlist is being pushed. The fact that Round strictly used SS's posts about his claim to procure a reason to vote is mindboggling. It's clearly a null-tell when someone votes for someone who claims scum and asks to be lynched.

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.

What a miserable excuse of a vote. I can't believe this hydra has any intention of helping town for the remainder of the game. I'd be more then happy to eat my words and wear the dunce cap if Round can provide a better case and organize town instead of calling it boring because of the nature of IML.




We are lynching the person who was stuffed under the Moc claim and forgotten about vote-wise. His name is still getting mentioned but there is no weight put into it at all.

ShiaoPi flipping scum will confirm alot for me. And I don't think you people will lynch the hydra as long as you are afraid of getting called names by it.

I would love to lynch you, but apparently you can scum claim and still not die. I'm immune to your tactics boys.

Why don't you go ahead and put your vote on ShiaoPi. You aren't allowed to put it anywhere else.

More on DNP/bum

Both were primarily focused on Shiao, and aside from that tidbit I'd say DNP is null/town read

bum, however, is very scummy. Aside from the post I talked about earlier, he's mostly just given fairly bland policy. E.G + Show Spoiler +

Hi

Gonna read the thread but two things

1) being apathetic to who are the hydras helps to read them. I've played with and against hydras, and it's a lot harder for them as scum then as town. Town hydras tend to not focus on interactions and have a more aloof sense of the game. Good scum hydras attempt to do the same, but where it gets funny is when they need to defend themselves. Then they let you know who's doing the talking lol
2) if a blue role needs to claim, just say blue, especially I you are boxer. This happened last game with a few people claiming boxers when I was a cop, and it kinda narrowed how open my claim would be. I would just keep quiet and do the setup math in your head until later.

Don't defend an awful line.

I think there are pros and cons to going slow. A lot of people have discussed this. I would like to lynch shaopi now, mostly because I'm bored. I don't like IML.


I don't see the cons, but talking about feels like a waste. I don't like IML as town. As mafia it's great!

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?

some short summary to work with:

townreads:

ShiaoPi - most obv town ever (yay!)
DNP/Bumatlarge - leaning town
roundabound - pretty surely in town

scummy guys:
quantumpope - feels like best lynch today
mattchew - nonfactor and nothing to show for
mordanis - see above
vivax - this one is more tricky. I did not like the entrance and the half assed shit on thrawn. he is doing the same shit to me. Quoting not my last scumgame and also a large one instead of a mini/smaller sized. just fyi that is the first post from my last scumgame:

also would you in the interest of all please start signing your goddamn posts? kush and vivax are at least in my opinion totally different players and it makes a shitton of difference who is posting. Makes me feel like you are purposely doing it to confuse us.


rest is pretty much nullish. see you later (yea I am a lazy guy)


I hope you know this post is why people are voting you. Put it this way, you are making it really easy for mafia to vote you, and town won't be able to tell. QuantomPope seems to be fitting his meta that he had in the LSB Restart game, which lead him to be shot by a vig. He was a boon to my mafia team, and gave us a strong edge just because of how much a single misread town player trips up town from figuring the game out. You can't really accuse people for calling out bad play as town, so it keeps the game from developing which is ideal for mafia. You are currently in that boat. It is very easy to avoid getting lynched day 1 as long as you remain active and open. Look at Robot, I'm not a big fan of how he is approaching the game, but I would be surprised if he flips scum this game.

It seems like you have a stronger read on Vivax then you do QuantomPope. Can you respond to what he has said. I would appreciate if you two(three?) would hash out what you think of each other. I'm in the same boat with your scum list, but because you don't go into much detail, I can't benefit from what you think!

Lazy people get lynched dude I know this first-hand.

*Editor's interpretation: Hey, I think you seem like town, but you are an easy candidate for lynch, so we are going to lynch you
And there's plenty more, so please read through bum's filter.

In general, bum has come into the thread after ~3 days and completely failed to bring a fresh perspective. He has also done essentially no scumhunting aside from going after Round for claiming scum. He voted Shiao early, and then seemed to talk to Shiao as town, without any effort to find any scum.

## vote bumatlarge


Let's chat mord. I probably did get too hung up on Round, but I did everything I could to get a better understanding of ShiaoPi's play this game. No one questioned his views from a town standpoint, and i think you can see why I was trying to stall the lynch on him by the other post you call me scummy for. Nothing I did indicated I knew anything about ShiaoPi's alignment, and I have him every opportunity to explain himself. I'll take the blame for lynching a townie, but what ou are looking for in my posts require assumptions about my alignment. Look at my reasoning from a town viewpoint, and I can guarentee it makes sense.

I'll answer anything I missed if you want. I'm going to try to figure out Matthew, but it may take me some time to do him justice. I suggest going slow again this cycle.

I don't get how you can call a guy the scummiest and then not mention a single reason for it, instead doing the opposite.
Bum, can you clarify?


I always do this and it always baffles people. Don't you think it helps to try to understand what people do from the opposite of what you read them as? I already gave pretty generic reasons for why I was voting him. I probably wouldn't have lynches him if he responded to my questions towards him. Instead he did nothing. He dug his own grave
