Hey slam, I have the ability to make up an item every day and pretend to give it to someone. I will pretend to give you a made-up item if you will assist me.

Today I have made up the Cerulean Rectangular Prism
[image loading]


I will pretend to give you the Cerulean Rectangular Prism in exchange for you completing the following mission. All relevant information for your mission is contained in the following points:

(1) I have read the thread.

(2) I have summoned forth a mighty frowny face at the focus on slam's claim, mass claiming, and whatever rayn is doing or not doing.

(3) Lo, I am not particularly townie on the filter of one tefpoofter. I believe it shows a lot of tiny questions that appear to have little followup or little reason to really be asked, they appear to be questions asked just so that questions could be asked.


Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to sally forth into The Hinterlands and report your findings to me.

Also, you cannot have the Cerulean Rectangular Prism, but you mentioned tehpoofter's questions earlier and I'd be interested in your current thoughts about his filter.

Actual read on slam is I don't like him he might be mafia claiming the role and rayn brought that up earlier I believe and if he was pushing him for that I wouldn't be suspicious of him but I don't like you want to vote him because you think he is survivor.

If he is survivor I think there is a good way to deal with him in that case.

thrawn i will make up future items as long as people don't kill me. Perhaps you can receive one.

your filter has so many actual one-liners in it. Not the worst kind, just lots and lots of little posts. If I were to be a psychologist, administering a Rorschach test to you, and I showed you an inkblot that looked like the letters A-M-I-K-O, what things might come to mind when you look at that picture?

ok.

1. hopeless is heavly implying that he is intentionally playing in a way so that people find him scummy. last game he claimed to do this as some sort of strategy. or as he noted in this game (although jokingly) he is doing it for the sake of his 'always scummy as either alignment" meta. so is he town and doing either of those two things or is he scum and taking advantage of people's expectations of his play?

2. did you have a read on slam before you sent him on a mission?

Right now I'm moderately alright with hopeless. When called out by toad, he asked why he was mafia, said all they did was drop two quotes and say to lynch him. It's a very ... middle of the road reaction? He's not super worried about being called out. He's not entirely unconcerned. That's slightly slightly slightly townie for me.

I think his bits on rayn are curious to post as scum, that you're not going to defend yourself because you think someone else is going to push this other lynch. It reads like a legitimate thought, and not something you want to post in thread if scum? I don't put boatloads of stock in it, but so far those bits from him leave me feeling not-scummy-by-a-small-margin on him.

I don't think he's particularly trying to take advantage of anything with his play though. Nope nope nope.



As far as slam goes, the moment he claimed survivor I immediately didn't believe it, will continue to not believe it, and don't think it's worth discussing AT ALL. As far as his alignment and my read on him, nothing much. Thinking he's faking survivor doesn't actually do anything for me in any direction. Lying is wrong, m'kay. Calling a huge amount of attention to oneself on D1 as mafia for no reason is wrong, m'kay. So it's null, and he's null for me atm.

kita, examine your blind spot please.

rayn has offered 1:1 as scum before. He also does it as town from what I remember, I think the specific example I recall right now is HolyFlare and not rayn, but rayn is happy to be sure of his reads and make anti-town offers for future lynches.

I will poke around a little more at this vote/non-existent case, but right now do not want to vote rayn. He's active, he proposes stuff that I don't think help town (mass claims, 1:1s, lynching slam), that keeps him off my radar right now.

@Jar Jar and Austin since you too didn't post much at the start of the day and ended up thinking I was scummy. IF you guys think I'm actually scum do you think its better for town to vote for me today or for Slam and his claimed survivor role? Essentially is it worth it going after a scummy read vs a 3rd party claim by Slam?
Vote you. Is it better to lynch a scum read or someone who claimed 3rd party?

HOLY CRAP IT'S BETTER TO LYNCH THE SCUM READ. HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP.

Ain't no austins care 'bout no claims. Ain't no austins want to lynch no claims WHEN THE 3RD PARTY BEING CLAIMED IS NOT ANTI-TOWN. Ain't no austins care 'bout none of this crap.

Austins care about hunting scums. And lynching scums.

That's the preferable course of action. Always.

@DJO I'm interested in what you read on Austin/Hopeless is?


Regarding austin, I would like him to interact with more people than Slam and thrawn. I like the fact that he doesn't believe the survivor claim. I don't have problems with him questioning your alignment. But I need more posts from him. I would say slightly town for Austin.
@austin
What were your motivations to interact with Slam ?

I believe myself Slam is 3P, but not such thing as simple as a survivor. Again, I would like him to claim his exact wincon. But that's not the topic.

Regarding Hopeless, he looks disgruntled by the direction this game is taking for this first day (i.e. a lynch on Slam) and he is openly not putting much effort into the game for now. I could see town Hopeless doing that for various reasons. But it's also easy to do this as scum. So null for the moment on Hopeless, and I hope he can step up a little in the future. I don't mind him playing like this at the moment.
Slam's a person playing this game. I'm happy to interact with slam and see what he comes up with, because that's 10000% more useful than discussing claims or poking at him or using paint to draw hair on those birds and posting a bunch of bird beauty shop pictures in thread. Interacting with slam is good for town IF it's friendly and both people get somewhere with it.

alaskaslam - Yeah I don't see how we don't lynch him. I'm always about the low risk play. Basically he's either mafia or not town. Lynching him is pretty automatic IMO
If you want a percentage I'll say 35-40% chance of being scum. But I'll lynch 100% not town almost every time unless there's really obvious scum.


I dislike this post a lot. We should be lynching scummy people. Not people because of claims. WE ESPECIALLY SHOULDN'T BE LYNCHING "NON-TOWN" THAT IS NOT "ANTI-TOWN." THOSE ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS AND ONE DOES NOT HURT TOWN IN ANY WAY EXCEPT THAT TOWN GETS CAUGHT UP DISCUSSING IT.


side note:when I've been scum in themed games, the EASIEST EASIEST EASIEST thing for me to do has been hunt third parties. You can "scumhunt" someone who isn't town, but also isn't on your team. You can call them different, not town, try to get town to lynch them, and it's not gonna affect your team's powers or KP or anything. Hunting for 3P in a themed game, especially this early, and trying to lynch them, is SCUMMY to me. Especially true when someone randomly claims 3P and the 3P claimed is neutral.

Well, go thou to the thither lands of Rayn's filter.

If tehpoofter is scum for the reasons you had me dig up, so find that Rayn also is. For he has called me confirmed town.

See that you do find it! And find why.

Most anti town player on record- FTW.
The reason I liked what you found on tehpoofter was actually how he wanted to lynch rayn, said rayn was scummy, and had just made a couple posts accusing rayn of being scum and voting him.

My read on slam is that he might be mafia, RAYN BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER AND WAS PUSHING HIM FOR THAT.

My read on slam is x. This guy I think is scum also thinks x.

THIS IS NOT GOOD. Townies sometimes find people townie for having the same train of thought. People don't find someone scummy and then mention how they have the same train of thought as the scummy guy.



Right now slam, I'm okay with rayn for the reasons I stated above. It's a lot of minor stuff, and he's worth watching, but when I'm town and rayn is town I find him scummy for some particular things. Right now, he's hitting a lot of those notes in the way he normally does, and I don't like the idea of lynching him atm. Plus he drew that kita picture. Probably illegitimate, but making a paint picture to try and explain something even when the paint picture is somewhat confusing and takes a bunch of text to try and explain, reads minorly town to me.

Haven't spent a lot of time on him and he won't be a priority for the remainder of the day due to other individuals I can use my time better on.

Avoiding a town vs town is my biggest worry at the moment because those put you back way too much early on. At work currently so time is limited but I still hope to be able to comment on others more in depth other than rayn.
His filter isn't large. If you dislike it, that's multiple people that find him scummy, and a couple that can be pushy and spammy and can drive a lynch. That is worth pursuing over reading other filters D1 imo.

You've made your thoughts known on rayn. Reading slam's filter is going to be more difficult and less useful. Reading other possible outside lynch candidates or folks might be worthwhile, but equally worthwhile is poofter. Reading gumshoe fine but takes like 20 seconds.

@Djo once you're done catching up how do you feel about rayn's this game in comparison to last game we all played (titanic) or previous games?

This question also is good for Vivax/hopeless/thrawn but I don't think tehy're around atm.
You've asked djo stuff twice now, the first was the only one before my post, and there's nothing between you and djo (you talk with thrawn, rayn, amiko after asking them stuff). There's no attempt when vivax or hopeless enter thread to really engage them. You toss hopeless a "do you think rayn's done a good job of scumhunting this game" question which I think is not a discussion.

On rereading, it is less lack of followup, and more just the questions you're asking. I don't like asking people about meta reads on rayn when we're partway through D1 and rayn has a boatload of games. I don't like dinky questions to rayn about what the chances are of slam being survivor or mafia, because if you're ACTUALLY questioning rayn's thoughts/slam's alignment, then there are other options. It's just a half-question that doesn't od anything.

Just lots and lots of dinky questions concerning slam and survivors and whatnot, which is something that I think scum would have an easy time doing this game.

rayn, since you like timelines of thoughts, here is one.

@ massclaiming Amiko summed up some of the different ways it could go and the reasonings seem good for not doing it helped me think through it. I like Amiko as town for that.


I don't think rayn is town he is playing completely different to the game I play with him before. He was aggressive but I feel like his push on Slam is an easy low hanging fruit type push. Survivor might not be town but its not mafia finding mafia > lynching the survivor. Rayn also should know that we need to look outside of just Slam either way we have to deduce how people are acting today because in an alignment swapping type setup the way you act day to day flip flopping on reads and stuff can give town good information.

I think that rayn is trying to deprive town of information by pushing a slam lynch, he also as I recalled as the super town hero he was last game I played posted a list of his reads as early as he did here.

Rayn is there a reason you chose to do so early? (positing a reads list)


My vote is here because of his push on Slam mainly and he just seems like he has a different town this game.

## unvote

## Vote: Rayn

(1) Rayn is mafia.

I am now telling everyone that survivor claims should always be lynched unless there is 100% scum because:
1) they can also be mafia fakeclaiming
2) they NEVER work for the town, they are basically +1 mafia even if they look like they are "helping"

Anyone who does not understand this is just plain out dumb or mafia. Period. Case closed.


Okay I misread this the first time and thought it was you saying you want to always lynch the survivor... not the survivor claim.


So Rayn would you say that in a game with possible alignment changes lynching a mafia is crucial in case they can add to their team in some fashion or possibly hit a 3rd party role that can recruit for their own alignment as well?

I feel like even if Slam was still confirmed Survivor in this setup I wouldn't want to lynch him day 1 I'd much rather want to lynch someone I found scummy that could be mafia or an anti-town third party converting type role that seems likely given the setup.

(2) At no point have you become town, you're still scummy to tehpoofter. He adds that he doesn't want to lynch survivors or 3P claims, he wants to lynch scummy people.

This is also if slam was doing this as VT would be a horrible waste of a day.


@tehpoofter: What do you think the chances are that Alakaslam is Survivor vs. Mafia vs. VT?
Right now I'd guess, like, 70% survivor or traitor / 30% mafia / 0% vt. I guess there's also a chance he is some other 3rd party role.



I'll put it this way I don't think hes mafia here more than maybe 5% of the time. I think that he claimed way too passively and without care to be mafia. Mafia I feel like would use this claim in a situation where they're taking lots of pressure and he really wasn't under much I was one of the people voting him at the time and we were far from end of day.

So to me its like 85% survivor/ 5% mafia 5% mafia 5% other. I am of the attitude that to me a successful day for town in this type of game is to hit a mafia. Like if we go to lynch a mafia I'll be 100% happy if we kill Slam and hes survivor I would be like 40% happy if we hit a town I would be 0% happy. So for me I feel like Slam is a safe lynch if we don't have a clear mafia at the end of the day but I don't want to default lynch him from right now when we might catch a scum slipping up and start this game off right. I want an ez game for town not one where we play struggling. Survivor is a super uninformative lynch imo. I mean there is also the chance hes like Fool or something and claims survivor knowing people like rayn would push on him as any alignment (no clue if fool is possible or w.e. but still)
(3) Slam shouldn't be the lynch. He's "safe" ---> except he's being pushed as safe by rayn, imo (he's either 3P or scum or just anti-town in general and "you have to lynch slam").

How can he be so discouraged so early in the game we have no flips no known information for all he knows were onto all the scum and going to stomp if hes town. I hate the acting like a child and saying "i give" cause someone calls you mafia making someone town defense.

I never said I give up, but I'm not going to "defend" myself from anything when rayn is out for slam's blood and will likely get his way.



See thats a bad attitude Imo Rayn is only one person and he might be scum this game. Hes not the town hero he was in titanic this is a new game boys and you shouldn't just sheep rayn. The only way rayn gets what he wants is if you act like its a forgone conclusion.

He has talked about nothing than me, he bases his read on me on one game (rofl), noone agrees with him on his read, yet his meta read must be correct. ^^ I could write a bigger case but i don't wanna do that right now. Basically he keeps flip-flopping over same things over and over again, when i tell him why they are wrong he forgets them for a while and then they suddenly just reappear. He is saying maybe two things and nothing else in this game.

I agree with whoever said (austin?) that Hopeless is town. While i think his play is completely useless and idiotic he is town.

JJD also looks okayish.

so kita and tehpoofer are most likely scum. maybe gumshoe.



I would love to hear your bigger case rayn. This is what I mean that is different from last game... your heart is either not as into this game or you're a different alignment than last time. The rayn from the game I played was more than happy to bring up a whole case on someone even if it was a massive wall of texts and then scream at the town for not realizing they're scum. This isn't what you're doing this game... its different and its the only meta I know for you. The Way I play mafia is assessing how people play different alignments and roles and compare them between games along with the information in the thread to attempt to make a read. Thus far you are different than last game where you were basically the whole town. IF I have a read you do X as town and then you do Y instead should I draw a different conclusion?
(5) i want to hear your case. You're playing different from townrayn, etc.


It's not a nice, straight line. But for someone who finds rayn scummy and wants rayn lynched, tehpoofter is doing very little else. When asked about other players, they are generally townie. When interacting with rayn, his scumread, rayn might be town. He's making very little effort to PUSH anyone off slam and onto rayn. He's making very little effort to PUSH anyone to vote rayn. He's making very little effort to even SEEM LIKE HE THINKS RAYN IS REALLY SCUM.

rayn is his biggest scumread, but maybe is town? He doesn't seem to be looking at anyone else as possible scum. He got rolling a little bit and then has just sat, and the way he's sitting doesn't feel right if he thinks rayn is scum (PUSH rayn, especially when other people are doing so) nor does it feel right if he's worried rayn might be town (BE PROACTIVE, who else is scum?)

On that note, poofter, if you return, we should talk directly and see where your thoughts on other scummy people lie.

I'd be interested in more full thoughts on vivax, on kitaman (if rayn is mafia, is kita pushing him for the right reasons, whatever), and maybe......amiko, because that name is kind of fun to write and think.

djodref,

(1) Toad's townie-feeling post is enough for you to still be town on him? Or...basically, how do you currently feel about toad?
(2) Do you want to be gumshoe's companion? Why/why not?

It's far likely townies take that kinda logical missteps. Scum are far more concerned to keep their story straight. Dude, you played with him in the last game, he was way more laid back and looked way worse than he does now. Just because he is trying to be pro-active and changes his mind does not mean he is scum, in fact it's most likely the opposite at least for a relatively new player like poofer. If you want to look at newbies look at Amiko instead, he is far more conservative and not sticking his neck out there.
He's not "changing his mind," at least not to me. On the spectrum of town <----> scum, he changed from "scum" to "probably scum maybe town" or something like that. There's a chance you're town, but he doesn't seem to think you ARE, just you might be.

That's fine, updated a read/changing a read is sexy, ain't no thang.

But if his biggest scumread MIGHT be town, what's his response? He doesn't go...look for more scum. He doesn't seem to have any other scumreads. This is DESPITE wanting to find a good scumread to lynch over slam.

Like, he's not on the slam lynch, because we shouldn't lynch slam when we have good scumreads. But his one good scumread appears to NOT be much of a scumread anymore, and there's no push to find any other scumreads.

All the posts before back up that line of thought.

Also it's me, it's completely reasonable he doesn't know what makes me mafia and what makes me town as he has played one game with me.
If he doesn't know what makes you mafia, and he doesn't know what to do with you, then what should he be doing upon realizing that?

Come on come on, let's keep going. EIther you change my mind or I change yours or someone else chimes in and we learn stuff.

If a guy has a scumread, then he's unsure of it, how does he follow up if he's town, real read, real worry that it's wrong, and how does he follow it up if he's scum, read was fake, either he finds it efficient to possibly change it or ... whatever.

As he gets less sure of you, as town, I believe he should be looking for other scum. At the very least, he's VOTING a dude he isn't sure on, so he should want to make sure he's not mislynching. Where else does he look? How does he look?

I see a couple little questions, to thrawn on djo, to me and JarJar, but not in ANY way that makes me think he finds JarJar or myself scummy, and the question to thrawn is about a townread of his.

There's no...followup. A change of read is fine, but it should cause something to happen that I'm not seeing.

He thinks he knows but he doesn't. bah it's hard to explain. He thinks the stuff i do is scummy because he does not understnad it. I don't give a fuck so i don't explain it. He thinks it's more scummy.

So what i do is scummy. But he is even willing to consider the possibility i am town and that he just does not know why he should read me as town. But that does not make me town, he still thinks i am scummy because of the stuff i have done.

If he was scum he would just "keep his story straight" and say i am scum because of the stuff i do as noone can even hold him responsible for that - just because there is no way he can't know better unless he spends like 20 hours reading all my relevant games (and not only my filters).
I'm cool with that last paragraph and can see that as a reason for finding him town --> as scum he'd do this thing and he's not doing that thing, so he's more likely town.

But I think it goes both ways. As town, I don't think this is the right action. Do you?

Can't you make the same case against rayn? He finds my web suspicious, isn't sure about my alignment and then calls me stupid a bunch of times, rather than committing to a read. You saw marv do the same thing in shadow.

At no point does he follow up with his read on my or attempt to ask me any direct questions until he goes from a 1-liner that I'm scummy to being 100% confident.
Not quite. Because rayn's doing a bunch of other stuff, whatever his read on you he's doing other things and trying to find scum elsewhere and blah blah blah. That other stuff is what's missing from poofter for me.

rayn is not...lacking for scumreads. Poofter is, if he isn't sure on rayn.

Of course i don't think it's the right action. The right action would have been to trust me and thrawn when we said that stuff does not make me mafia. But him not doing so is not scummy -> it only tells about him being interested in making his own conclusions and finding his own shit. Which is townie.
What conclusions has he reached and what shit has he found.

It's turning towards the end of D2 and if the conclusion he's reached is "the guy I thought was scum might not be scum," then it should CAUSE HIM TO LOOK FOR MORE SCUM.

austin, could I get your perspective on hopeless (mainly whether you find the enforcement of the 1:1 trade scummy without having a scum read on me) and on djo?
Hopeless
Hasn't really done anything, so this still applies, although somewhat weakened by the "not doing anything"
Right now I'm moderately alright with hopeless. When called out by toad, he asked why he was mafia, said all they did was drop two quotes and say to lynch him. It's a very ... middle of the road reaction? He's not super worried about being called out. He's not entirely unconcerned. That's slightly slightly slightly townie for me.

I think his bits on rayn are curious to post as scum, that you're not going to defend yourself because you think someone else is going to push this other lynch. It reads like a legitimate thought, and not something you want to post in thread if scum? I don't put boatloads of stock in it, but so far those bits from him leave me feeling not-scummy-by-a-small-margin on him.

I don't think he's particularly trying to take advantage of anything with his play though. Nope nope nope.


Most worrying thing about him is the focus on rayn/slam and that jazz. It IS an easy topic for scum to post about, it IS a thing that I'd expect scum to want to talk about. However, hopeless doesn't keep chatting about it even when he could. If he's mafia, he's sitting back when he could be screwing with the thread and driving it (what I believe to be) off course.

Don't want to lynch. Don't want to crown Emperor of the Green.


The 1:1 trade thing I just don't care about at all. If there is ACTUALLY "enforcement," then that's a thing to worry about. Otherwise it's just talk and I don't care and I think all talk of 1:1s is sillypants but it seems to come from all alignments. So I don't find it scummy.

Djodref
Djo calls a buttload of people town, that's the main thing I notice and it makes me okay with him for now (scum needs scummy folks, mislynches. If he has a hard time calling people scum as the game goes on, it's a red flag, but scum can't just sit back and call everyone town I don't think).

I like the initial, simple reaction to slam and not spamming about it.

I think a random mid/late D1 pressure vote into unvote and saying "PRESSURE VOTE" is a silly thing for mafia to do. Mild town points.

The copout vote is smelly, but I'm overall okay with djo? If he's playing mafia, he's going to have a hard time continuing to play in the manner in which he is. So I say he keeps going, and if he paints himself into a corner he probably outs himself as he removes himself from said corner, or at the very least he has to figure out how to call people he's been labeling townie scummy, and that will make him do some work and making scum do work is good for me/us.

I am sorry but i am not sure gumshoe is mafia enough to lynch him over Slam and i am sure kitaman is mafia so regardless of what everyone does my vote will not switch.

You probably end up lynching me because Toad has no vote and Hopeless and kush will not change their votes regardless of what happens. Slam will stay on me because he can't win otherwise as i will lynch him some day and so will kita.

So there you go, you have a buch of dumb people, a bunch of scum and a third faction who will not help you.

Which is fine, but I'm asking you about a guy that you, on some level, find scummy. It's not kita and it's not slam, but it's a scumread of yours in multiple posts.

If you don't answer, I will probably never make an item and pretend to give it to you. Man, I got the best threats/motivational tools.

There are a couple posters who just don't see scum anywhere, and it's unlikely that THEY are the scummy ones (they aren't your scumreads, so either your scumreads are wrong and scum is just lazy "ain't no scum" or they are actually town and a lot of townies are just not finding people scummy). Gumshoe sort of fits that, and he IS doing nothing. You seriously don't think we default on him if people don't agree, despite finding him scummy?

@austinmcc & @kushm4sta can you explain why you would prefer to vote off gumshoe over slam? I do not actually know that is your preference but will take Djoref's word for it for now.

To be frank and direct, I think non-town would prefer to keep a 3rd party role alive as a potential asset later in the game so I am suspicious of this preference. (obviously if slam is actually scum then there are other simple reasons you would prefer he live)
gumshoe has done nothing but make useless posts. slam responded and actually wrote something out and RE-ENGAGED with me later on. gumshoe is not playing the game. slam, at times, is.

That alone is enough for me.

There's also the fact that I don't care at all about slam's claim. I don't care what he says, and by that I mean that I actually do not think it's townie/scummy/anything. It's pure null for me, and I think lynching him based on what he says is sillypants.

If slam is TRUTHFUL and is a survivor, we don't want to lynch him.
If slam is LYING and TOWN, we don't want to lynch him.
If slam is LYING and ANTI-TOWN, we want to lynch him. But I don't particularly see why scumSlam goes and claims survivor partway through D1 in response to a little pressure. He can claim ANYTHING or claim NOTHING, and he just claims survivor and then halfway unclaims and claims some other random stuff?

I do not believe that his claim makes him likely to be 3P or anti-town or anything. I interpret it as someone claiming stuff for fun, and doing silly things for fun is not alignment-indicative to me.

All I can say is that, while he has not been ACTIVE elsewhere, he has posted in World Championship mafia a couple times since being here. He's been on the site and reading that thread, but has not indicated any desire to participate in this one, nor has he actually participated.

That, on average, is more likely a mafia thing.

Taking a quick look at his only mafia game. He actually seems pretty wordy.

Are you confident enough that you'd want to lynch him now over someone who has posted, without waiting to see if he does shape up tonight?
I'd prefer to lynch poofter. Not getting much consensus there.

I would rather lynch gumshoe than slam, yes. I'm more troll or slam-lenient than most, and I'd rather lynch a player who has given no indication that he wants to participate in this game than someone who, at times, has attempted to do so.

Let's play a game! The game is called -- "The OP says everyone can get fake claims!"

Okay, begin the game.

LOOK WE ALL WIN BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN GET FAKE CLAIMS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD EVER BE RELEVANT FOR SLAM TO CLAIM A POSSIBLY MADE UP ROLE ON D1 BECAUSE IT LEADS US NOWHERE AND IT IS NOT, NOR WILL IT EVER BE, SCUMHUNTING.

You don't know whether slam is a 3P or not. If he claims, you don't know whether that's truthful or not. Congratulations, you now have one uncertainty stacked on another! This is...not useful?

@austin,

why in the world would town fake claim survivor?
The TL Mafia world

There are a number of players that will claim random stuff and I wouldn't even bat an eye. Slam isn't among them, but he's not in the category of people that I think would never ever ever fake claim for fun/to do something.

If you're town and have a sexy role, claim survivor, do nothing, hope to survive to endgame and use the role for town.

If you're town and don't like being lynched/attacked, claim survivor, do nothing, hope town goes and lynches other people.

Like, the ABSOLUTE BEST reason to lynch slam, imo, is none of this stuff.

It's to get people to shut up about slam and go scumhunt.


I would prefer to have people actually do that instead of have to lynch someone to make it happen though.

Let's play a game! The game is called -- "The OP says everyone can get fake claims!"

Okay, begin the game.

LOOK WE ALL WIN BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN GET FAKE CLAIMS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD EVER BE RELEVANT FOR SLAM TO CLAIM A POSSIBLY MADE UP ROLE ON D1 BECAUSE IT LEADS US NOWHERE AND IT IS NOT, NOR WILL IT EVER BE, SCUMHUNTING.

You don't know whether slam is a 3P or not. If he claims, you don't know whether that's truthful or not. Congratulations, you now have one uncertainty stacked on another! This is...not useful?


Suppose slam is a survivor, has a role that we could force him to use in a pro-town or a role that can be confirmed, you don't care what he says?

We don't need to believe him. If he lies, then he lies. If he is truthful, then we get to pick how he uses his role in exchange for his survival, rather than having a neutral player choose to use their role to their personal benefit. In PTP, I was forced to roleclaim as survivor and town eventually lynched it for me because I was shooting townies left and right. Remember?

To be honest, I'd even be interested in hearing a fake claim to give us a better idea of potential roles in the setup.
The OP says everyone can request fake claims.

You can request one and see what powers you are given.

HAS NOBODY ELSE REQUESTED A FAKE CLAIM JUST FOR FUN? WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING? GO GETCHER FAKE CLAIMS!!!

If slam is a survivor, which we can't prove and he can't prove to us, and has a power which he can be forced to use in a pro-town way or can be confirmed by, which we don't know right now, then I believe he would have already said something about that.

If people don't believe your crap, and you have a way to verify your crap, you don't keep doing this. You say "no guys, I can prove it. Ta da!" Your scenario is basically "What if slam can confirm he's not anti-town or not going to act anti-town, but ... hasn't noticed that."

Or specifically, I know you have said there is no reason for town to claim in this way.

I think there are both reasons, which I have given, AND I think that people claim stupid stuff on TL mafia sometimes WITHOUT good reason, jsut for lulz.

Does anyone have a reason why gumshoe should not be lynched?

Kita, I believe it was you who poked at his scum games, and he was more active than this. I concur. His town games are also more active than this. I don't believe inactivity yields a meta read on gumshoe either way. Only that people who don't play the game, and especially people who don't play the game while being on the site and being in the mafia forum sometimes are much more likely to be mafia than town.

OK, but sometimes we should right? You do agree that we need to read and analyse peoples posts in order to find mafia right? Cause I can't understand why the F you'd keep asking me the same question when you know damn well what the answer is.

Like you can take any case and say "Why can't he be town?". Then when you're answered by someone explaining the reason, you can just use the same argument you made here and say "Well people type things all the time. Doesn't make it true"
I believe the answer is different than the answer you give. In fact, I believe that I gave you SPECIFIC examples where town might claim survivor.

If nothing else, a townie who thinks he has a strong town role, wants to stay alive until endgame. By claiming survivor and doing nothing, town is less likely to lynch him than other useless folks, and scum is unlikely to shoot him. Instant survival!

I kept reasking the question because you just told me what he wrote. I don't understand why you'd trust what he wrote (and you don't), and I don't understand why you would think that, if he is lying, he MUST be anti-town.

Town people lie all the time even though they shouldn't. Heck, just look at a couple of rayn games.

Right which is why I'm kinda interested in the people talking about traitors and conversion mechanics IF he's actually a shrink

some are likely to be town
some are likely to be scum

cuz I know I didn't know exactly how any possible alignment switching would occur.

and I don't love typing this out, because the ones that are scum will know who is town and might have alignment-switching stuff, but they already know that, so ... oh well

Can you guys explain more about the role changing and hydra things?

Also, is this game gonna happen? I don't see people signing in, Q_Q.

Hydras are 2 players playing as one in the game. They have the same alignment and use a shared account to play the game.

The alignment changing thing means that you start as either town, scum, or 3rd party (if they exist) and there is the possibility of you changing alignments to a side you didn't start as, e.g. you start as town, you become scum; or you start as scum, you become town; or you start as town, you become 3rd party (if they exist); etc.

This game will start when it is full. Most games take a week or two to get filled. It all depends on peoples schedules, current games being played, and the game that is trying to fill up.
As far as I read the OP and this post, there was alignment changing.

But there's nothing specific on mechanics, and given that this game is heavily themed I did not have anything specific in mind - an item, a faction, cyberman recruitment/upgrading, traitors, whatever. There are a whole lot of mechanics you could use to make faction-switching happen.

that's ridiculous. claiming survivor immediately makes him a safe lynch for the town. That'd be the last thing I'd do if I was blue. Puts you right in the spotlight (just like it did)
Generally, the optimal play for survivor is to say you're a survivor in your first post and then basically do nothing.

town will want to lynch you later in the game if they don't win, on the chance you're scum fakeclaiming.

but town shouldn't be trying to lynch you D1.

survivors, even if they are "safe" lynches, are TERRIBLE lynches for town. Lynching scum is good. Lynching not-scum is bad.

I talked about conversions some earlier, if you want to pursue that topic I'm glad to during the teatime/night phase.
I think tehpoofter is the scummiest bro on D1. And as of now, since nothing much has happened since lynch. I expected to be in thread at deadline but was pulled away by a phone call, was not around for a gumshoe swap.

I have not been super pushing his lynch the last couple hours, because people seem unreceptive. We'll see what pops out of chatting with him during the night.

What others are saying/thinking is that "i'm not impressed by the push to lynch rayn" =/= RAYN IS 100% TOWN. Or at least, I think that.

Also, TOAD. I have indicated that I believe tehpoofter thought rayn was scum but did nothing really to push the lynch recently, didn't try to fight much against people who wanted to lynch slam instead or do other crap.

Do you believe my assessment is correct?

Lets talk bro. I disagree you didn't push you case you went pretty hard and fought with rayn about it. So let me steer you in the right direction towards the green light.

So you have time to chat?
Seeing as nobody else had votes for Bird God, I believe I have been elected. I misscreeched above, and can no longer talk, for I have ascended to a higher plane of mafia. I can only squawk and screech from on high, as I hurl thunderbolts down upon people.

Also the thunderbolts won't kill anyone.

Also I'm up for screeching at you while you talk to me. I just don't have normal vocal functions anymore, at least not that I can tell. I've never been a Bird God before.

Not useful but useless speculation!

Toad has no vote. Possibly has to choose someone else and give them two votes. Maybe we just have a double voter. Not a thing to worry about right now, we'll see how votes look on future days, and whether any specific people voting for rayn are voting for someone tomorrow that has a bonus vote on em.

I'm going to assume you mean "Did I believe him?" to which I will say that kind of. I hated that he waited until the last moment to claim although in this game his role is pretty damn important so idk. I believed him enough to switch off him and onto someone else. My switch wasn't however based solely on his claim his play and the way he reacted to kita man seemed town and he stopped making some of the posts that he was doing that I found scummy (like wanting to just make a lynch on claimed survivor and thats it) and also to list off his reads mega early and in an all encompassing function like he did something I hadn't seen him do and that earlier is really weird because there wasn't much info on a lot of people.

I don't understand your bird RP bullshit so I'll ignore it and talk to you like a person. So my reading rayn was based on the fact I had played with him and he played that game a certain way and the way he played this game was different to me. Behavior patterns is a big thing for me to read off of. I think rayn played differently and I knew he was a strong player from the previous game so my first instinct is "its different burn it with fire!!!" Cause a lot of times different play=mafia. Maybe thats just rayn's power role play and I'll know for future games. The problem I was having was that reading him I'd like a post he would make or the way he reacted to something then completely dislike what he did or didn't do. So it was like a roller coaster read... plus I know he knows I'm new to this format and I felt he is a good player and might try to pocket me with a simple town read if he knew my alignment.

(I can provide specific posts if you which but there was way more than just 2-3 so didn't want to get away from the point of what I was reading)

Now mr. Austin a question for you. What do you think of mr vivax?
Nono, I want to say do you believe him for fun. Did you believe him doesn't matter, because the situation has changed and his claim has been proven so it doesn't really matter what you thought previously.

Nono, no need for specific posts. When you say you're a meta-based player, he was acting differently than previously, you have only played one game with him? Did you go and check other games of his?

Vivax has posted enough on hopeless and toad that he looks like he actually found a thing he's been interested in and was trying to do stuff with it. If you like magical meta, this is NOT A TREMENDOUSLY GOOD EXAMPLE, but vivax was just scum in III Titanic, and did not post very much at all. Here's he's posted more than there, and him following a train of thought about specific players reads okay for me. He's not a shining beacon of townieness, but I lean town on him and I don't want to drop a Cerulean Rectangular Prism on him.

re: vivax

It's not just the amount of posting or that he's found a thing, but ... if he was lurky he'd be lurky. If he were causing havoc he'd be posting more and about stranger stuff. If he were just trying to comment and get by then he would be doing that without speaking a bunch on toad and hopeless.

His actions look more to me like a townie who has a train of thought to pursue, and don't really fit any pattern of scum behavior that I'd particularly expect.

If rayn was basically your sole scumread, and you kept hedging on that and finding him less scummy, why did you not look elsewhere?

You asked some folks questions. You swapped your vote to gumshoe late.

But for 24ish hours you've been appearing less and less scummy on rayn, but with no indication that you want to be MORE scummy on anyone else.

Why no hunting? Or if you WERE scumhunting, who was scummy and why? Or you scumhunted and nobody is scummy ever period?

I asked questions to probe for other scum reads but to be honest nothing was really happening aside from Slam posting a whole bunch of shit from another game it seemed. I hadn't seen any other scummy things from people at the time I was in a place that I had a weak scum read and I didn't really have anything else to go on or pressure with who was around at the time. The kita case happened and I had the vivax read that really only mattered if rayn flipped town. I believed the claim and still wanted to hit scum over Slam so yeah I didn't do a good job basically. I'm trying to turn it around atm
When you say probe for other scum reads, do you mean you had people who might be scum and you wanted to talk to them to confirm suspicions, or you had no scum reads and so were throwing some questions around to people to see whether anything came out scummy?

why do you keep asking people what they think of austin's case against you


I think austin's case sounded townie even though it was against me. So its a weird question to ask mafia because if I'm right and austin is town then they have to comment on a town on town case and they might polarize who they can push on safely by answering in a way where they call us both town. I also find it odd it gained like no traction since I was town probably because there wasnt a lot of scum and rayn is stronger than me and was being voted but still its a good thing to bring up now before we get to a point where the main wagons from the D1 are lynched or dead or w.e. so if people bring it up as evidence they have to go with what they say no as opposed to being able to say w.e. they want to throw dirt on me or austin. (again this is mostly based on the read I have that austin is town.)
This post changes my mind on poofter. He's been quite chatty, and this is either a very well crafted scum post (or video mafia people do stuff like this normally), or he's pretty likely town. Out of all the crap you can say for why you're interested in someone's case on you, I don't think you say it's interesting because you're town and think the case-maker is town and therefore you want to get people to comment on it because maybe scum will have some funky and noticeable thoughts on a town-town suspicion.



If anyone is a cop or has checks or does stuff, I suggest doing stuff to Toad (not life-saving stuff, check-y stuff). I don't care so much about the check me/don't check me stuff, but it somewhat fits what I think of when I think of scumtoad, which is ... strange posts and having too much fun with powers and whatnot. I would also GENERALLY assume that there is no role which says "you can't vote." The role is very very very likely to be "you can't vote, and you also do this thing to compensate." Not having a vote means it's likely the other thing, which is likely to exist, is likely to be something pretty sizeable. So if we have cop stuff, I think toad is a solid candidate. There is also the idea that IF this game is somewhat balanced around conversion, ONE WAY to balance a growing scum team is to remove votes. Town gets MORE lynch control than normal, because scum don't just kill townies, they can yoink somebody (all speculative). Small numbers aren't the only disadvantage that can be used to balance out a scum team that may be able to grow.


I'll look kush over a little more, as well as Amiko. Kush was not on my radar at all D1, Amiko got a townpass early from me for seeing some things I found important, but needs more lookin' over.

As far as that post, I read less into Vivax's bit than you do. Vivax asks rayn how he went from x to y.

I don't see him burying something, or misrepresenting something really. He either missed posts, wants more clarification, is scum, is lazy town, blah blah. It feels like your conclusion is that Vivax isn't attentive enough, that he's just asking a useless question, given that the answer is in the thread and of the filter of the guy he's asking the question to.

It's not a positive thing, but I don't get scumbells off it.

We can also start with "you should go ahead and post your suspicions" since we're later in the night and there's not a boatload of time left to do anything with your suspicions.

We can also start with "thoughts on pure supposition about toad"

If anyone is a cop or has checks or does stuff, I suggest doing stuff to Toad (not life-saving stuff, check-y stuff). I don't care so much about the check me/don't check me stuff, but it somewhat fits what I think of when I think of scumtoad, which is ... strange posts and having too much fun with powers and whatnot. I would also GENERALLY assume that there is no role which says "you can't vote." The role is very very very likely to be "you can't vote, and you also do this thing to compensate." Not having a vote means it's likely the other thing, which is likely to exist, is likely to be something pretty sizeable. So if we have cop stuff, I think toad is a solid candidate. There is also the idea that IF this game is somewhat balanced around conversion, ONE WAY to balance a growing scum team is to remove votes. Town gets MORE lynch control than normal, because scum don't just kill townies, they can yoink somebody (all speculative). Small numbers aren't the only disadvantage that can be used to balance out a scum team that may be able to grow.
Agree? Disagree? Better target? DON'T CHECK TOAD BECAUSE SCUM KNOWS YOU'LL CHECK TOAD AND NOW YOU CAN'T TRUST CHECKS ON TOAD BUT THEY KNOW YOU KNOW?

austin, did you care if rayn died? I know you said you thought poofter was your preferred lynch and I know you thought that the rayn was sending you town signals, but did it matter to you if he got lynched? When the player that you thought was town claimed a strong power role, rather than responding "omg guys we need to move votes off him now", you were like "oh didn't someone mention conversion at some point?"

I would rather lynch gumshoe than slam, yes.


When slam unvoted ten minutes before the lynch, with kush, hope, amiko and myself there are only four votes on rayn.

At this point, you can either place the fourth vote on slam, which would become five after thrawn posting his intentions or you can become the second vote on gumshoe, eventually to be joined by poofter or thrawn. Yet you didn't move your vote.

Questions:
1) Did you prefer a rayn or slam lynch?
2) Why didn't you move your vote to gumshoe?
Yes I cared that rayn was lynched. I am sad that a townie was lynched. I am, however, always mildly amused when rayn gets lynched. On the whole, more sadness than amusement. I did not come into the night yelling WHY DID YOU LYNCH RAYN, however, this is true.

(1) Neither. Rayn looked like townrayn, and I don't like the reasons people give to vote slam. If I have to lynch one or the other, I lynch slam. I don't think it's impossible he's town, but rayn reads like townrayn and my dislike of a slam lynch stems from a mix of slam's play (response to my question about poofter, question back to me) and more of my dislike of the reasons behind it. I'd rather join a lynch I don't like than a lynch on someone I'm relatively certain is townie.

(2) Because I got a phone call shortly before the lynch. Didn't post, didn't swap vote. Honestly didn't expect rayn's death, given the number of "yeah I'm okay lynching gumshoe" posts, but wasn't around to do anything about it.

There's no reason there, other than conjecture that you think crossfire has created games that were solveable with claims, and wouldn't want to do so here.

Do you think solving the game is the only thing that could ever be accomplished? I'm just asking why you specifically think a mass claim is retarded or non-beneficial or anything. You ain't said nothing specific.

Given that we had things like a shrink, it also gives town the ability to target actions as well. And possibly allows for people to get confirmed/caught via actions. And cuts down on role speculation about things like votes, because folks have to own up to what they do.

But that's cool.

raynpelikoneet (6) - kushm4sta, Alakaslam, Tehpoofter, Hopeless1der, kitaman27, Amiko
Alakaslam (3) -JarJarDrinks, Djodref, Vivax
kitaman27 (1) - raynpelikoneet
gumshoe (1) - thrawn2112

So the votes looked something like this when you left. Lets assume that rayn and slam are acting logically and would vote for any scenario that would save themselves. Toad claimed that his vote doesn't count so I'll ignore it.

Essentially for gumshoe to be lynched, he needs six votes because of critical mass. That means jarjar, djo, and vivax would need to move in the last 7 minutes, which seems possible, but difficult to pull off if they aren't present. slam would need to move from rayn to gumshoe and then one (or two depending on the slam votes) individuals that mentioned that they preferred rayn would need to move. I suppose poofter was the most likely since he did with seconds left, but he was your strong read so I'm not sure why you would expect that.

Did you really expect a gumshoe lynch without your vote or was it more an issue that you were busy and didn't think things through (which I'm not faulting you for, I just want to know which one is it)
In real time, the second. Crazy exes be crazy.

I can honestly say though that I did not expect a rayn lynch, regardless of whether I was in/out or when I left.

Based on what I remember of thread at there time, there had been at least one other "willing to swap to gumshoe." Unsure who or who their vote was on, we can all go check if needed.

But rayn continued to post crap, and there wasn't much NEW push onto him, it didn't seem like he was going to garner more votes. After his claim, I figured it unlikely he'd be lynched when there was another target that people were kind of amenable to lynching.

I'm unreasonably opposed to slam being scum and recognize that.

I think given two choices, I look within kush/toad/gumshoe. Most of the folks I look over seem town, am hoping the night sheds some light on something. Within that group, I'm unsure, most of the rest of folks are null or townie looking, and feeling null on kush and toad make me feel worse about em, if that makes sense.

I think there are options, unsure what's most likely until we get a better feel for the game. If there is a chance of UNLIMITED conversions, a cult or something that's upgrading folks from town, it seems like one balance option is the removal of a vote or two, or giving the scum team a single vote or two to use as they see fit, not tied to any one player. If things are more limited in scum growth, less likely they just can't vote, more likely he's town.

All likelihoods just relative to other speculative likelihoods and in the setup that I speculate on.


Hopeless and vivax being more active would be sexy.

Re the foolishness read itself, I think it's not worth doing anything with.

Foolishness travels somewhere, stays with toad, they meet up with ange and angebrother, foolishness is assumedly going somewhere after toadstay, and foolishness spends some of his time reading the thread, or lying on a bed with toad in their PJs with their feet kicked up while toad reads the thread to foolishness....that seems a bit off.

It's not really relevant to alignment, but why the heck does foolishness read this thread? Especially given that he has part-ran this forum, seems like he's not the sort to read this thread and give toad thoughts on alignment. I suppose that points slightly to mafia toad, being more likely to make something like that up, but mostly it just points to "I don't terribly believe there was a Foolishness/Toad hydra that read the thread and then allowed reads to be typed into the thread."

Townie djo

I think slam is a good lynch. It's early in the day, he's a policy lynch and maybe lying and maybe town but oh well. I'm still poking around, looking at folks. I'm going to speculate a little about the game, because I don't know what's going on, I know it's themed, and there are clearly vote mechanics and other stuff in play. Queue speculation over survivor and over toad's lack of vote, and what vote-lacking means for the game. I really like the idea of the themed game, am thinking about it a lot, don't want to ruin the fun with claims. More setup-y stuff, want slam to claim to see if we can use his powers in a town manner.

I want to lynch slam, but I dislike rayn wanting to lynch slam, and I think people are right to call rayn out for being a ninny. JJD attacks poofter for this, bark bark (I think townie djo just became part dog, my bad).

I wanted to lynch slam, but again, not because he's mafia. I think it's just a good idea. I'm curious about how austin sees slam and how people interact with slam, because slam is a point of interest.

rayn and kita both town, but making good points, but still just town. I'm confused and wishy washy because I don't understand what's going on, and I still believe lynching slam is the correct course of action. Can't go wrong!

I wasn't around to really shove the lynch anywhere else or interact, was busy, but don't like that we lynched rayn and still think slam is a good default lynch and should happen. Except we shouldn't lynch him, he's really really 3P now. Except we should still get rid of him somehow cuz he's not town.

Here are some reads that I have. I have reasons. They ... read very meta-heavy, because I don't know these players well and it's been 1 day only and so this is what I think thrawn and austin look like. I need to read a little further though.





Overall, there was a lot of attempted interaction early from someone who doesn't seem to have felt sure on things and liked the fallback default lynch on slam, who he appears to have never believed was town, or if town, doesn't need to stick around.

A lot of mind-changing, but with reasons given, and it does not appear to happen in a SCUMMY manner. A lot of folks he hasn't really interacted with, including a lot of folks in the middle layer of people (in terms of like...activity, thread pull, etc.).

The posts he makes decently fit that narrative for town djodref. One thing I absolutely positively haven't done is check whether that narrative fits town djodref. I'm also not a good option for doing that, I don't love the meta bits and am not particularly accurate with them generally.

ALSO IF YOU ARE SCUM AND THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO ME IN FOUNDATION MAFIA TELLING SCUM TO JUST GIVE ME RANDOM TASKS TO DO AND I WILL WASTE MY TIME THEN I WILL BE CROSS AT YOU POSTGAME. I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THIS BUT IT'S SUCH A NEAT COINCIDENCE

Scummy djo

Don't get killed don't get killed.

THANK YOU SWEET SLAMJESUS. Let's lynch slam, the guy just claimed "not town," some townies want to lynch him, bing bang boom, one mislynch down. (this narrative assumes slam is not scum, because the reaction that djo had seems improbably for scum <--> scum with djo/slam. Having been on a slam team before where he claimed a really scummy action, the reaction was less "let's lynch him because it's okay for town" and more "holy balls that dude be scummy", iirc).

I'm reading things, tossing some questions around. Just gotta look like I'm doing something. Vivax, are you going to do anything? HAHA, GOT HIM THERE. MWAHAHAHAHA. Sprinkle some townreads around on players who look like they might do stuff D1 (iirc, there was a moment where toad was pretty active, and amiko has been active at times, especially early in D1), try to avoid a massclaim but still get info out of others, because I know this game is kind of complex and I want to learn all I can about conversion mechanics and such.

HAHA. JJD LOOKS SCUMMY. MAN BATTLESTATIONS. ATTACK MODE ENGAGE.

Respond to stuff. Minor questions. Doop dee doop. They're lynching rayn? Why? He looks townie what are they doooooooing. Oh well. Let's have this happen.

**********AUSTIN NOTE - ONE THING TO DO IS CHECK THE TIMING OF THESE LAST DJO POSTS OF D1 AGAINST RAYN'S CLAIM. IF HE POSTS AFTER RAYN CLAIMS, I WOULD **THINK** THAT SCUM ARE INTERESTED IN RAYN'S CLAIM AND NOTICE IT. RIGHT? SCUM JUST HAD SOMEONE CLAIM THEY CAN STOP SCUM'S BIG THING IN THIS GAME. NOT GOOD FOR SCUM. AT THE VERY LEAST SCUM ARE PAYING PARITCULAR INTEREST TO THAT. SO SLIGHTLY MORE LIKEYL THAT SCUM ARE INTERESTED IN AND COMMENT ON THE CLAIM OR CONVERSIONS.*********

Give a few reads. My townreads today are different than my townreads yesterday, just keep calling folks town.

*******AUSTIN NOTE AND QUESTION TO DJO - ARE AMIKO AND TOAD STILL TOWNIE? WHY HAVE THEY FALLEN DOWN THE LIST, JUST LESS TOWNIE OR SCUMMY? BLAH BLAH**************

My narrative for scumdjo is not very good. This leads me to believe that I guess I read his posts as townie and him as townie? There's some stuff to look into there, but it seems either more fun or more believable to me to craft a town narrative and not a scummy one.

I also still don't LOVE the idea of scum just calling everyone townie, although it can indicate newish scum unsure what to do (or experienced scum who can't get a foothold), and all of that may be irrelevant in a game with conversion.s

That looks suspiciously like no dead people. Which means either good job someone, or we only have a conversion mechanic, or a mix of the two.

The OP includes this in the Cyberman win con"nothing can prevent the Cybermen from eliminating all anti-Cybermen player" as well as a mention of medic saves. Nothing SUPER telling, but I did think there would be some kind of KP.

So it's possible that if a person did a thing they did a thing that screwed over the Cybermen, although we don't know. And I guess it's slightly less likely that we have a 3P with KP.

Also I kind of hope that's actually a nuke that slam gets to use.

I would like to hear more from you on where YOU would like to fire it, slam or otherwise.

I've used those "BIC For Her" pens, they still have ink and write just fine. I think some discussion about where you/others think the nuke should head is useful, and the label on the nuke is an option.

He's posted, and other people seem to be going "oh my slam not scum." You disagree with them? Fine with nuking him regardless of alignment?

These questions should read relatively discussiony, but I think this is worth talking about, and there's been something of a shift in general thought away from slam being scum. So I'm interested in your read on him, and specifically whether, if you don't think he's the uberscum, why him over someone else.

what do you think about nuking gumshoe?
I have defaulted to the absolutely terrible and not actually good for anyone in any game "maybe he will get modkilled" mode.

If it were a shot and not a nuke, you could hold it and only fire if you were sure he wasn't going to get modkilled and hadn't done anything of note.

Since it's a nuke, that's not an option. Despite knowing it's a terrible state of mind, I'm currently on the "maybe modkill" plan.

i WILL note that gumshoe has been active all up in cell mini, and 0 active here. This makes me a sad panda, and makes me more amenable to Bad Things™ happening to him. So it's an option but I like the idea of discussing slam or others, on which people might have different opinions (it's difficult to think anything about gumshoe other than "lol he so afk, why do this we sad"), and gumshoe can again be a stupid backup.

What do you mean? I'm pretty sure I've never said I thought he was more likely to be scum then survivor.
Misinterpreted. I was interested in the change in read over time, and just saw your comment that way, "He's more likely to be survivor now."

You just meant that he's more likely survivor than mafia, not a temporal thing.

As you were.

While expressing no opinion on the origin of the nuke, I believe it is not a good thing for town at this time to be trying to hunt that person down.

Gonna sleep, know I haven't been very productive over the last couple hours. One thing I thought of though is that I'd like kush to stick a vote on someone strange, just for a bit. Would be nice to know if he's got a perma double-vote or what.

Another thing to check on that front is when vote counts started showing an extra vote on rayn. If it was timed with kush's vote, then again, double voter mebbe. If the extra vote comes like...2/3 of the way through the day, then kush got some 'splainin to do because that's entirely inconsistent.

Having said that, I'm go check.

agreed. Austin you still in the vivax is town camp? What do you think about my theory that the scum is between those who pushed on rayn but voted slam? <<<These same question to thrawn/JJD/Kita
Vivax hasn't done anything since I expressed an opinion basically, so his town points fade and he's just less town and closer to null.

I don't think we want to get wrapped up in the D1 voting. I bet scum is in the people who have done scummy stuff and will do scummy stuff, and we just gotta find em. Not personally of the mind that we have info to call people out from votes yet, or to know what scum may/may not have done. Like that thought process PROBABLY includes "assume slam isn't mafia."

Oh there's neat vote stuff.

Toad says his vote doesn't count, but it counts up until the final point. Hope1ess is often presented as having a single voter, and Toad is the only guy on hope1ess.

Sorry for further vote questions, but you confirmed that vote numbers were correct in votecounts. This goes for all votecounts during the day, they all are correct?

kk that's fine on the extra vote. It's also worth us checking who was in thread/posted during those 35 minutes between vote counts. LIKELY but not definite that whoever added a vote was in thread as well at some point.

Scum generally don't get to create and give out nukes, or invent nukes and give them out, or whatever has happened (I am asleep, snore snore). Unless it's a super nuke-themed game, I don't believe I've ever seen those roles given to scum.

NEW GOAL

WE SHOULD SCUMHUNT BASED ON ACTIONS AND POSTS AND INCONSISTENCIES AND THAT SORT OF THING FOR LIKE....20-24 HOURS

WE CAN GET BACK TO SPECULATION AND NUKES AND ALL THAT JAZZ AFTERWARDS, BUT WE SHOULD NOT GET DISTRACTED BY THEME AND WHATNOT, BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING TOO FAR AWAY FROM SCUMHUNTING AND IT'S EASY FOR SCUM TO JUST CHAT ABOUT SETUP AND NUKES AND LOOK THE SAME AS TOWN

@austinmcc and @kushm4sta since you are in thread
I agree with austinmcc and I'm willing to filter dive a bit to see if I can find something.

Would you both let me know whether you agree with JJD's statement above regarding nuke/kitaman27?
It's reasonable, but unhelpful.

IF scum gave him the nuke, then it's LIKELY kita isn't scum. Unless we flip a scum nuke-maker, nuke-haver, nuke-giver, it's entirely not a factor in this game.


JJD posts on kita ~66/67 read somewhat townie to me. I think he's misrepresenting some things, but arguing consistently, and if he was mafia trying to get a kita mislynch, he SHOULD be throwing in that rayn wanted kita dead and kita was a big factor in lynching rayn. Not always, and that bit assumes that kita would be town and this wouldn't be rando-bus in a partial/wholly conversion game. But I think it's a legit point. The manner in which he's pushing kita does not align with how, in my head, a mafia player would be pushing Kita.


Re: Hopeless1der and claiming and fake claims

HOLY CRAP NOT A FOCUS. EVERYONE GETS FAKECLAIMS. CROSSFIRE IS THE OPRAH OF FAKECLAIMS.

Beyond that even if hopeless is scum and the only scum and we win the game because he doesn't know whether blues got fakeclaims or not, that's a TERRIBLE way for us to win and kind of against the spirit of things.

I also think you're misreading his posts, JJD. There are points where Hopeless1der asks is he scum because he won't reveal a fakeclaim, and he's not saying "I have a fakeclaim," he's trying to figure out what YOU are thinking, and whether your actual line of reasoning is "Only scum would fail to reveal fakeclaims, hopeless is failing to reveal a fakeclaim, therefore hopeless is scum."


conversion mechanics mean that people aren't town for doing townie things/having townie roles.

ANYONE should be shooting someone who claims their role for no apparent reason, because HOLY CRAP WHY WOULD YOU JUST CLAIM A SPECIFIC NAMED ROLE. Town kush, mafia kush, planar dragon kush, should ALL be shooting that guy. If you're town, that dude is scum, he's claiming your role. If you're scum, A GUY JUST CLAIMED YOUR ROLE AND YOU CAN SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE EZPZ WITH GOOD REASONING THAT TOWN WILL BUY AND YOU KNOW HE AIN'T MAFIA. If you're planar dragon, you still shoot him. Probably. Whatever. This is dumb.


I've been gone a while and here's some stuff I'm going to do and if I don't do it shortly you should yell at me and call me bad but also still town and still your one, and only, Bird God.

- Reread Poofter. Was scummy, then townie, have not focused on since then and need to see if I still get townie vibes

- Read Hopeless. There's lots of hopeless stuff going on today. Check earlier read, see where it goes.

- Read Amiko. We haven't really been in thread at same time. Read amiko's posts, make a read on him, chat some.

- Ask kush wtf is up with this post given the vote timings:

Kush I'm actually interested in this vote thing.

You claim it was a relic from early, but it didn't appear until late, and you weren't around when it appeared. I've never heard of any kind of delayed vote. And while townies lie about crap and try to hide roles and do silly things LIKE CLAIMING NAMED PEOPLE WHEN THEY AREN'T THAT PERSON FOR NO REASON, the timing is a weird thing to lie about.

Mostly okay. He's not done much, was one of the folks I didn't feel great about earlier, and doesn't appear to have wanted to do much.

The whole lurky thing doesn't scream scumtoad to me, but it doesn't not-fit. Anyone semi-prominent that starts as scum in a conversion game needs to NOT do the sort of stuff toad normally does as scum (we're not gonna talk about shadow game), because they need to not get got early on. Doesn't mean he's scum, but it's not inconsistent with how scum toad might play. Can add him to my list of peeps to read right now.

Poofter looks generally groovy to me

Town: Thrawn - He seems to be actually taken a back by the fact that he is only finding town, scum needs mislynches so if hes scum hes playing against his win con.
Austin - I think his case and the way he fought it was townie. He also had the same line of thinking as me that we shouldn't just lynch SLAM and should try to find real scum sadly he didn't find any scum but neither did I

For scum: I want to look at vivax, kita, kush and JJD the most. I don't think they are all four scum but I think there is definitely a scum in there.
Vivax for the reason that he tried to bury rayn and then voted slam... like he buries a town and gets off the wagon good lay low scum play imo.
Kita: He puhsed on rayn and didn't really seem to listen to his responses during his push if you will note the difference between him and me pushing our cases on rayn I was not really sure and uncertain about if he was scum and austin pointed it out on my case I feel like being sure is more scummy than townie cause I'm trying to figure it out and kita in this case would just need a ML also I pointed out earlier my theory on the vote count thing possibly being from him.
Kush: He is here because my town read thrawn wants to know whats up with you.
JJD: He says that kita scum slipped calling me and him town maybe he did and kita is scum but it counts against JJD here because I'm in no way confirmed so how does he know I'm town? I mean maybe he read me as town but I didn't see that in his read... I'm going to read his filter after this and see if I missed him calling me town before that but I don't recall it.

I ranked my scum and town in order of strongest to weakest.
This is the one thing that stands out. His scum is Vivax > Kita > Kush > JJD.

He's been actively questioning folks and talking, and was concerning with Vivax, but I don't see much from him on Kita and kush. This is also after swapping over to gumshoe D1, when gumshoe hasn't done anything more, but now has dropped off the scum list.

Just feels mildly off for the list, but is explainable by things like gumshoe being a good vote for doing nothing, not for doing scummy things outright, and the list itself says why kush is on there. It's also MILDLY odd that one thing JJD has done that Poofter doesn't like is call out kita for a "scumslip" that JJD doesn't think happened. If Kita is high on the scum list, and JJD is scummy in part for scummily calling out Kita, then JJD is unlikely scum calling out scumbuddy. AGAIN NOT PARTICULARLY RELEVANT BECAUSE IT'S A LIST WE CAN ASSUME NOT 4 MAFIA SO FOR JJD TO BE MAFIA THE OTHER 3 WOULDN'T ALL BE MAFIA, BLAH BLAH.



Whatever, haven't changed mind. Things overall are townie from poofter, I'm good with poofter as town.

I really wish I could continue to say slam is maybe town and blah blah, but I do think that's a good nuke. I've seen frustrated town slam, and weird town slam, but he's not playing like those, and frankly...I don't think he's always a distraction but we've turned him into one this game.

Just a quick, dumb response to kita. It's 7 friggin' words but it reads like just an off-the-cuff, response doing mildly townie things - not wanting to start fights, wanting to know reasons for votes. I don't feel super great on this one like I've felt about dumb things in the past, though.

I dislike this. A lot. Rayn has claimed. Hopeless is voting rayn. Hopeless seems to know what a shrink is. From rayn's claim until lynch, hopeless posts a grand total of.....................just this.

i.e. "I am lynching this guy, and he just claimed shrink, and I know what that means. I am reading the thread, but I am not commenting on ANYTHING. Plus i know that the guy I'm trying to lynch just claimed a VERY SPECIFIC role that makes some sense in a conversion game but we weren't 100000% sure this was a conversion game or had shrinks in it, and I'm not going to say anything about that and I will not appear to have any doubts about his lynch, despite him claiming a very particular role and me understanding what that means."

Really doesn't sit well, when I look back at it. If he's reading, and he sees that claim, SOMETHING should happen. Not radio silence. Not a casual response, he's in the thread, he's reading the posts, because he saw the conversation about the Master and shrinkage.

I really really don't like that. It feels like not the right response, and not the right actions. Where right = townie.

He later says this just recently to Vivax-

But ... still. A townie who sees that claim and understands that claim SHOULD say something? Right? Rayn could fake claim, could be real claiming, but hopeless seems to have 0 interest in the claim, despite being around. Even just saying "Could be fake claim, nice try, die rayn die" would sit better with me.

No. I do not want to be a flamingo, but flamingoes fall within my domain. I feel that someone must be punished for that insult to birdkind.

Hippo answer is convoluted. They're super dangerous and mean, kill a good number of people every year. IF we've got someone making multiple nukes, adding KP to the board, that person is the hippo. I hope it's a town hippo, and scum are the farmers who get too close to the riverbank, but we shall see. Also, I would be a terrible person if I didn't link this - + Show Spoiler +


Pandas are kush and thrawn. Pandas are generally lazy and slow, but they're still bigass bears and can be dangerous. I imagine kush as high a bunch of the time when he's playing, much like a bamboo-eating panda just lounging around. But if you claim his role, he'll shoot you in the face, showing he's still a dangerous bear, despite lounging around stoned a lot.

Thrawn gets to be a panda only because for VERY LITTLE REASON WHATSOEVER, I kind of think of him as the sort of person that would make a good conversion. Townie but not SUPER visible, and a good player. Toad's thought on who he would convert was interesting, and I agree that kita makes a nice conversion if he were town, but kita was kind of high profile and I'm not sure that, as scum, I want to grab him on the off chance that he gets blowed up today. He had some people thinking they might want to lynch him, and there's a 50% chance that rayn is in the obs thread right now calling us all terrible for not lynching kita like he wanted people to do after he died. People who might get lynched on D2 are bad N1 conversions, so scum probably doesn't look to kita, and thrawn just feels somehow like the kinda guy that makes a nice conversion.

Re: Massclaim
rayn flipped town and wanted us to mass claim, so he thought it was a good idea. It worked out in handslaps PYP, though that was semi-open. btw that was shortly after Day2 started, not the lynch. And for the record I'm still FOR a mass claim if we can agree to it.

Re: Shrink Claim
In my defense, everyone else just kind of brushed it off and went along about their business the same as me. No one panicked and yelled OMG Y U LYNCH DOCTOR?! and I wanted rayn lynched...why would I draw attention to that fact? In hindsight yes this may make me look scummier but I had a scumread and felt that pointing out that the claim could be fake would cause people to scrutinize it and possibly swap over to gumshoe or slam, contrary to my preference.

Re: response to kita -> kush
1-I think you mean Vivax
2-I found Vivax to be asking a lot of questions and refusing to put up his own discussion. Since the game opened I feel like he's been casually painting me scum, but someone (maybe you or thrawn) said that the fact that he's doing stuff instead of not doing stuff probably points to him being town, so I kind of disregarded him. However i think his questions are really open-ended and basically kush hits things pretty square with this conversation:

It feels like Vivax is just quoting stuff and asking different people "and how does that make you feel?" like he's some glorified therapist.
rayn loves wanting to do anti-town crap, and all his plans are guaranteed anti-town. 100%.

you think a mass claim is viable when everyone has fakeclaims available? How do you see VTs/blues/scum playing out a mass claim?

As far as the shrink, yeah, people didn't comment enough. I looked up what a shrink was and then failed to comment but also got pulled away, it's curious all around. You stick out though because you appear to be reading but not participating at all, not mentioning the claim really or anything else. When there's some discussion of moving things off rayn and onto gumshoe, you don't tell people to stay or ... anything. It feels like you're just watching and not doing.

I did mean Vivax on that last bit, yup.

Uhh April Fools? Thats 25:10 later
Days are hard, yo. I can't play mafia AND be expected to know the difference between 1 and 2.

hopeless is right, the mass claim comment is way after and it's D2 and I am bad at numbers less than 3 and should feel bad.

I'm trying to figure out if hopeless going after me (Knowing I had a nuke and hadn't used it yet) is more scummy or townie. It's a pretty bad play for either.

Like if he's scum then he risks me firing it @ him. But maybe he takes the risk knowing that I already have 2 people that I reallly want to kill.

If he's town and truly believes I'm scum that has the nuke then it really makes no sense for him to push me untill after I fire it. Like why would he try to get me lynched @ that point knowing that if I get in vote trouble I'd fire it @ town. If he really suspected me as scum, I'd think he'd keep it to himself untill after.
Knowing that you were okay with nuking slam, I don't think it says much at all. You're not untouchable today just because someone gave you a nuke, and you're UNLIKELY to just snap nuke someone for calling you out.

Plus in your town hopeless and scum JJD situation, YOU ARE SCUM AND YOU HAVE A NUKE. There's no reason to wait if he legitimately thinks you're scummy, he's town and he's scumhunting. I don't see why a townie would wait to call you scummy until you'd fired a nuke at someone, in any situation where they found you scummy for non-nuke-firing reasons.

All in all I think it says nuttin' about nuttin'. Just one Bird God's opinion.

Again, completely asleep, but random thought.

If we have someone that can make more than nukes, and that person is town, I think you should not make KP. Anything that's anti-conversion or checky is good. One other option, if we've got someone that can make stuff, is some kind of alarm system. Something you or another person could place on folks at night, and it triggers if that player ever changes factions. Might take some discussion with hosts to balance, but something like that let's us identify people that get converted and WHEN it happens, which is particularly useful for seeing if they have any strategic read changes after swapping factions (would have to wait like 24-36 hours before revealing that someone had triggered an alarm, and then parse through what they'd posted earlier in the day).

I'm around, sadly not converted as apparently we lost our shrink and doctor. That sucks gum played it like that with the name thing. I thought it was interesting kush can do the vote thing and shoot during the day that's a pretty strong town role imo. I think you pointed this out thrawn.

I think scum is somewhere between Vivax, Hopeless, Toad....
Vivax for reasons I've stated.

Toad because he's claiming to not have a vote that counts and he can't die at night that is like the tree stump role on epic mafia which is kinda useless and easy to claim as mafia (I have done it in video mafia on several occasions) cause you never have to explain why you're alive and you can no vote and absolve yourself of all responsibility. (I've been busy with work and other games so haven't had time to dive but have we confirmed Toad's vote doesn't count?)

Hopeless - I believe austin had a case on hopeless where he was around at day end voting on rayn after the claim saying it seemed fake without a cc. I was around then too and had been hard on rayn all day and wanted to get my vote off him to someone else (ended up on the doctor whoops) but still not on the claimed role.


Town for me is thrawn, kush, austin, amiko (tenatively cause of the heal and he seems to be piecing the game together)

This isn't quite what Toad has claimed, ish.

ALSO DEAR LORD WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO LYNCH BASED ON ROLES YET LET'S LYNCH ON SCUMMY STUFF. Hopeless did a thing that I find, and apparently you find, scummy. Toad right now is a lump, but his role isn't fully a reason to lynch him. It's, again, a great reason to check him or DO THINGS to him, but not killing things.

@austin you really think slam is going to flip town o.0?
I think it's a possibility. Mainly I dislike that people discounted that possibility entirely, and that there was so much chatter about what his claim or fakeclaim meant/didn't mean and how we know his alignment or how he's pure anti-town and all this jazz. I don't think it was helpful, and in some ways my slam thoughts are colored by hoping I'm right in that all the chatter was useless. If he flips town, I get an epeen boost, so I have to hedge a little more towards hoping he's town, even when it doesn't make sense within the game.

I'll answer you as best I can, but I have to be a little silly with these questions.

Tiger
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]
The noble tiger.
It is fearless and strong, a ruthless predator.

I think kitaman27 is a tiger, though perhaps he would not be confined to a zoo. Kita appears to confidently defend himself while pushing reads, and I feel he contributed to our first blood.


Flamingo
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]
(It's supposed to be a flamingo dragon)

The pink flamingo.
Something about it seems awkward and difficult to understand. But undeniably it's bright colors draws attention.

Alakaslam is the flamingo. He stands out due to his unusual claim d1 and his odd playstyle. It's difficult to determine his motives.
I guess we haven't focused him too much d1, but I still think the comparison is pretty good.


Monkey
+ Show Spoiler +

I can't think of a particularly appropriate answer and monkey pictures seem overused...
I guess I could argue that Slam is a poop-flinger because he spammed somewhat, but I don't feel like it really detracted from the conversation all that much.

I didn't mean much by the comment except to express he is kinda scary.

But! I can offer a post-hoc thematically appropriate explanation, which I do think is fair:
I feel like I would expect Kita to be more on the defensive d2 given rayn's certain scum read followed by a town flip. In other words, kita should be feeling high pressure. But I don't think the pressure on kita has been all that strong (with some exceptions... JJD put some pressure earlier on him regarding the nuke, kita's had to explain some reads, you are following up with some now... but it still doesn't feel like he is in much danger to me right now).
In other words, maybe kita should be constrained by the thread sentiment, but it doesn't seem like he is.

I'm rereading the last 15 pages or so.

Don't lynch Vivax. The way in which he questions Hopeless and the things that he's looking at read townie. He's attacking inconsistencies that he seems to really see/are really there. He also has what I think is a townie reaction to Gumshoe's claim. Since we've been kinda bad townies, Gumshoe's claim is like...the biggest event of D1. Vivax is immediately questioning what's going on, and doing so in the RIGHT way. Amiko also makes some comments that seem to be questioning the claim/kush shot in THE RIGHT way.

Anyone who wants to lynch Vivax needs, at the very least, to chat with me about his reaction to the gumshoe claim. Just read those posts, specifically, see like pg. 71-73ish, and explain to me Vivax's posts from town perspective and mafia perspective.

Unsure on vote. I'm making a neat little chart of Kita / Vivax / Hopeless / Toad, and what they say about each other. IF one of them is mafia, he needs to be making arguments about someone else on that list, or doing nothing, and so I'm interested in seeing who looks townie or scummy for how they're talking about these other bros. This may be a good idea, it may be stupid and misleading, but these are the folks we're kinda focused on, and there's been a lot of interaction, and I think we can mine it pretty heavily for Good Stuff.

Also I'm not convinced by kita case, the same way I was not convinced by his case on rayn yesterday.

If I read his hopeless reaction from the perspective that hopeless is scum, then I agree it looks really good. However, from a Vivax is scum and hopeless is town perspective, I don't find anything that says it is impossible.
Well yeah, not impossibility.

But scum vivax pushing town or scum hopeless, what he's doing is just hammering at little inconsistencies to try and paint someone scummier than they are? It can definitely be read both ways, but vivax probably posting for a reason and pursuing someone for a reason, you think he's decided hopeless can be painted scummy with the inconsistencies?

At the beginning of day one, he argued that we should lynch mafia instead of slam and called a player scummy who settled for the easy slam lynch. Rather than pushing a mafia lynch at any point in the day, he chose to lynch slam mainly because it was better than the alternative.

Then at the beginning of day two, he pushes for a slam nuke. If the only reason he wanted to lynch slam on day one was because he doesn't have any scum reads, why is he pushing a slam nuke, rather than using the 36 hours to find a scum read? He is reproducing the exact behavior he found scummy.

It's more saying "slam isn't scummy/is the default lynch", doing nothing to indicate he'd moved away from that, saying we should lynch/kill scummy people over slam, then on D2 being fine just using KP on slam instead of hunting for scum before defaulting to slam.

The play is ... inconsistent? If he doesn't think slam is scum and thinks we should be killing scum, then why nuke slam?

People who think slam is scum or NEEDS to die can call for a nuke on slam because they actively want to kill slam. Vivax appears to NOT want to kill slam over mafia, but doesn't want to find mafia over killing slam.

Toad's filter is so mega butt at times, like his hopeless read is basically little more than those first two posts. He calls hopeless out on em, fine, then later explains in detail why a two line post is super scummy (fine), and then today just goes on hopeless again.

I wish there'd been ... more. Would make this easier. Not playing isn't particularly alignment-indicative, but just sitting on a scumread for old reasons and never really updating is concerning.

I'm going to vote you. This is your last chance to change my mind.

Here's the real reason i wanted ot lynch vivax:
I'm a modified watcher

A targetted B
Vivax Targetted B

I know the role name of A.

I do not actually know who A is or who A targetted.
This is difficult to read. Are you being cryptic on purpose or can you try to explain clearer or am I missing something?

It reads like you know "x role" visited someone, and "player Vivax visited someone", with both someones the same.

But you don't know who the role belongs to and you don't know who...the role targeted? Wut?

So you targeted someone. And you know that Vivax targeted someone.

But you don't know what he did? Or his role? Or anything other than "he targeted someone"?

Without revealing or actually this will probably come out, is the person targeted a likely target for scum to do something to?

I don't think people should claim stuff that isn't directly relevant to someone's alignment.

I don't care who Vivax visited unless it really points to an alignment. In the world where we "catch" Vivax for claiming the wrong target (because you, JJD, know who you visited as Rose), then Hopeless also got "caught", because you wouldn't have visited the same person.

So the world where Vivax could be wrong about who he targeted/JJD targeted is a word in which Vivax and Hopeless are both mafia, and doing this FOR NO RAISIN.

I reject that world.

Rose's mother is a character for a couple seasons. Can't decide if she's worse or better than Mickey.

Rose's father is dead, there are a couple episodes that involve him (time travel, alternate universe version).

Neither appears in the Silver Nightmare episode, but neither do Mickey or Rory, so we're not dealing iwth an episode specific game

Well, if you both targeted the same person, Hopeless i somehow cleared, if you didn't, we can lynch him without remorse. But it's Vivax decision at the end.
You seem really confident that Vivax and I are both town.


Well, you just have to be both not scum and if you claim your targets together Hopeless is cleared.
I don't believe both of you are scum.
U say if our targets are different then we can lynch [hopeless] without remorse. Well if vivax reveals his target and I say it doesn't match then what is preventing vivax from being scum?
THE FACT THAT FOR THE TARGETS NOT TO MATCH HOPELESS WOULD ALSO BE LYING OR SOMETHING WOULD BE SCREWY AND THAT WOULD MEAN THAT BOTH HOPELESS AND VIVAX ARE MAFIA AND LYING FOR NO REAL REASON AT ALL AND ONLY DOING SO AT THE END OF THE DAY AND IT REALLY JUST WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE

Not my happiest vote atm, but I don't love a kita lynch right now although I'd agree he's POSSIBLE mafia. Still on the Vivax town plan. Find Hopeless's claim too wonky RIGHT NOW for a lynch.

Super paranoid about Amiko for some reason. Always looks town, always looks kind of...detached from thread. If possible, I would super love less constructed posts from Amiko and more off-the-cuff remarks, in time with thread. This is purely for my own benefit.

If it doesn't match with JJD, we can safely lynch Hopeless. I don't understand why you would retain this info ?!
Super duper duper disagree.

This would not be a reason to lynch someone, and why in the world would mafia:

fakeclaim right now.
fakeclaim a fakeclaim that relies on multiple people visiting the same person.
fakeclaim a role that mentions a SPECIFIC ROLE name (see gumshoe)
fakeclaim THAT, which doesn't actually give him reason for being on Vivax's jock really

Specifically, I would like to note that this question is to Toadesstern.

Because if you do what you're doing, and then we lynch you (because that seems like a good idea and there are 20 minutes to lynch), and you are ACTUALLY town, we are going to be [image loading]


I'm sorry, I'm doing what I can with the limited time I have and I just haven't read enough to give you anything more than 1-post-analysis from stuff I see as I go through.
I told you that not doing stuff isn't alignment indicating either way, it's indicative for the fact that I don't have time, which means asking me to do something won't get you anywhere because I'm not actively choosing to not do anything...

So sorry
If you're town, sorry. Both for lynching you and also not posting as many pictures and I meant to.

It's not even all about lack of activity, you were on Hopeless for questionable reasons that you carried through D1, N1, and into D2. It doesn't appear like you have any interest in really reading Hopeless, just continuing to call him mafia.

All this stuff happens, and you just claim your role name. Even if you have no idea what ANYONE is doing, all these posts are short and make no sense, and you could post like....

Does JJD spamming requests for Vivax to claim a target make sense?
Do I make a good Bird God?
Anything that randomly occurs to you and is interesting and we might be missing

Toad you care to reveal what you're hiding in the hopes of pushing people elsewhere?


This is kind of what I'm talking about. Even if you're not reading, you just reveal a role name, hide information, get lots of votes, and do nothing. It's not just inactivity.

Things to do:

- make everyone take stances on some people, we all need a few townreads and scumreads. Someone pointed out earlier that this was good because then folks have a hard time post-conversion. We're two days in, buncha dead people we don't want dead, we NEED people to make reads because then we can laugh at them when/if they get converted and we can murder their faces. Their red, red silver faces.

- sorry toad

- I'm serious about some kind of cyberman alert thing IF we have an inventor. I don't expect this to be a no-KP game, given we had a medic, but protection is good and stopping conversions is good.

- we should look for awkward phrasing from people D1 on slam. It's a minor thing, but scum would KNOW he wasn't scum, and was likely 3P (or town, hi austinmcc). They may have overly used 3P language, undersold the chance he was scum. It's NOT A MAJOR THING AND IT'S NOT CONCLUSIVE, but there's a chance someone looks particularly odd.

- Djo seems more townie because of the first popcorn. This is stupid, but I continue to find him townie.

I agree with Austin, I think we should get reads out pre-conversions.

@austinmcc-
I know it's lame to move away from thread now, but my plan was to stay in thread until lynch then give what time I could to the Catastrophe game. But, you mentioned in the last few pages you wanted to talk more flippantly and less constructed with me, and I can try to do that tonight (~5hrs).
It's cool. I'm just one person in this game, and for whatever reason I just kind of want you to post more freely. Usually I can get people to post freely with me, but with others is fine. Your filter always LOOKS townie to me, and then just feels a little off, a little mechanical. Lots of questions, answers, larger and constructed posts, but less little reactions and un-thought-out stuff.

The less you think when posting, the more likely it is that you slip up when mafia, and I would prefer to catch you if you're mafia. So thinking less and posting more freely makes you much much townier (for me) if you still look about the same.

We'll touch base another time.

Yeah. There are some posts like an hour before lynch that say why, but I like the way he pursued hopeless earlier today, and then ... there was something else. His reaction to Gumshoe's claim and that whole situation.

I've not been overly scummy on him, but those push him far towards town for me.

I find it someone difficult to believe that Dudeman Tyler, Mama Tyler, and Rose, could all be interconnected and town.

That seems kinda rough for scum, they can't really stop people claiming and confirming themselves if none of those are scum or not actually in the game.

I dunno, it's not lynchable, but Toad dying if Dudeman Tyler died, and nobody dying with Toad, might mean that the guy is a fakeclaim or a scum role.

Difficult to go for alignments based purely on names/flavor, because we're clearly not located within a single episode, and so we don't know if some Doctor-y characters have been made scum for this.

Squawk squawk, I have arisen from my egg.

My reads on first glance look like myself, vivax, djodref, and poofter are highly unlikely to be or have been mafia. They are removed from my list.

My list becomes:

Kita
Hopeless
Thrawn
JJD
Kush
Amiko

as possibilities. For being scum from D1 or converted or whatever. Begin transmission:


Thrawn

Thrawn CONTINUES to feel like a super strong possibility of a conversion. D1 he's very active, about 2/3 or so of his posts are D1/N1, he's relatively active and posty and has reads and whatnot. Going INTO D2, he's townie on Toad and unknown on Vivax, wants to talk to Vivax more. He thinks maybe scum was on Rayn D1, or maybe Vivax, and he thinks some of the rayn voters are town, so his pool is kinda small.

Great. Lovely. Again, thrawn ends N1 thinking toad is town, hopeless is town, some other rayn voters likely town, and he wants to talk with Vivax and Kush and check some other rayn voters. That's his D2 entrance mindset.

Come D2, he talks with Vivax a little. DURING that chat, it SEEMS like he should be coming out scummier on Vivax:

now I think that conflicts with the reasons you mentioned earlier. I think what tehpoofter brought up was actually a valid point, that you gave support to the rayn lynch while not actually voting for rayn in the end so as not to take the blame for the lynch. "push rayn, but lynch slam... safe scum play" is what i think he's getting at. you say that one of your main problems with tehpoofter's case against you is that you think he's taking advantage of your low post count, and that is definitely NOT what's going on.

so i see here that you're being defensive about your low post count (which was a reason you got lynched as mafia last game) and you are completely misprepresenting the reasons tehpoofter has for voting for you.

any comments?

(1) Vivax has conflicting reasons, can't keep story straight. (2) poofter has valid concerns about Vivax being scummy supporting rayn lynch, pushing rayn, not voting for rayn. (3) thrawn thinks vivax is misrepresenting poofter's suspicions, being defensive in the wrong way.

thrawn PROBABLY should be concluding that this guy who might be scum and he wanted to talk to is now scummy. Yes? Inconsistent stories, scummy D1 lynch conduct, a defense relying on misrepresentation, none of these make you townie on someone. See other posts like

i'm here, agree with not lynching vivax

Zip zop zoop. At least for me, I don't see how thrawn goes from D1 to D2. Toad continues to do exactly what he was doing, which is REASON to get scummier on him. But if you're townie on toad D1 for his actions, and he just does nothing, then that looks bad but now you're probably weak townie/null on toad? He's worried about vivax, talks to vivax and APPEARS to find vivax scummy, but doesn't want to vote vivax.



I think thrawn can be a solid player. I think if someone has a magical check to determine if someone is converted, mafia, whatever, he's a decent option. He feels unlikely to have been scum from D1, but again, as I keep hinting at, somewhat likely to have been the conversion. The number of posts go down, which isn't ultra scummy, the reads kind of don't quite follow, which he needs to explain some more.

When D2 lynch really heats up and people are claiming and we're trying to determine who to lynch and all that yumminess, thrawn seems to be around. He's down to lynch kita or toad. He sees kita's reasons for lynching vivax, but kinda...misrepresents them, doesn't appear to understand what kita is saying when other people do. Remember this? + Show Spoiler +

At the beginning of day one, he argued that we should lynch mafia instead of slam and called a player scummy who settled for the easy slam lynch. Rather than pushing a mafia lynch at any point in the day, he chose to lynch slam mainly because it was better than the alternative.

Then at the beginning of day two, he pushes for a slam nuke. If the only reason he wanted to lynch slam on day one was because he doesn't have any scum reads, why is he pushing a slam nuke, rather than using the 36 hours to find a scum read? He is reproducing the exact behavior he found scummy.


that is so bad.

he is scum for changing his mind?



But again, within the last 30-40 minutes, he has POSTS. He's around. He doesn't do anything with claims, give thoughts on hopeless/vivax/JJD, just cool with lynching Toad and Kita.

It doesn't feel QUITE RIGHT.

Thrawn is A CONCERN for me. Not uberscum, not likely to be scum from start, just...A CONCERN. Should I meet with an unfortunate end, he should be A CONCERN for you too (if you're town, I think).

For anyone who reads this and goes, oh wow, thrawn kind of CONCERNS me, I'm interested in your thoughts on thrawn and specifically:
  • Do you follow his vivax/toad thoughts throughout the game?
  • Do his posts D1 and D2 feel consistent, similar, or disconnected?
  • AUSTINMCC SHUTUP THERE ARE WAY SCUMMIER PEOPLE AND THRAWN ISN'T A PRIORITY

I generally disfavor massclaims, sometimes just for "fun" reasons, sometimes because I overvalue blue roles.

From other themed games, and being scum in themed games, I think one of the benefits of massclaiming is being able to DIRECT actions. If we all want to claim, we should consider claiming BEFORE resolution, so as to try and get people to prove themselves/not do scummy stuff by directing their actions. However, because of the lack of notifications, that's not as useful as in some other games. Normally it's nice to know if someone actually got roleblocked, or JKed, or whatever, because the target can confirm the action. Here we lack a lot of confirmation tools and so I don't think that's relevant and guess it's not important to time things so that we can direct actions.

Amiko does a number of townie things on D1. One that particularly stands out to me is trying to interact with alakaslam and bring him into the thread.

This is MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA UBER TOWNIE in my mind. Anyone who wants to time travel back to D1 and shoot Amiko is 100% mafia.

I don’t feel too strongly about whether you nuke slam or someone else today.
However, my preference is absolutely that you use the nuke today because if you hold onto it you are at the very least a tempting conversion/kill target (if you are not scum/3p already).
This is also crazy crazy townie. There was some discussion of not nuking, but this is a really important thought. Going "I have a nuke now" in a game that has at least SOME conversion mechanics is a questionable choice. Convert the nuke guy, use the nuke, and town has to spend a day (probably) lynching the converted bro.

You ... time walk town. You waste a whole day, getting a townie killed and just losing a conversion.


Like those trains of thought, and since that's a super townie line of thinking on D2, amiko wholly off my list.

Austin how do you townread poofter? Would be nice if I could get him off the list of suspects.
I'll look back for it. Somewhere in my filter there's at least one major post on it.

I was scummy on him D1, but the way in which he talked N1 and specifically an argument he made about how I was likely town, and he was asking people about my suspicions on him because he knew my suspicions were town on town and wanted to see if any scum would jump on them. That one post of his really brought me around, although he'd been looking townier as he responded and we chatted.

If I was to check him for scumdiddlyumptiousness, it would be a possible conversion, but I liked his N1/earlyD2 stuff enough to drop my read.


Also, I often super overvalue things that I shouldn't, or read them the wrong way. At least, other players would say this. I'm very very confident in the way I see things and then sometimes it's wrong but oh well. So feel free to disagree.

We don't actually know WHAT this setup is exactly.

What we know is that :
  • Kush is 99.9999999% certain river song. Town river song? Scum river song? Unknown
  • Kush has access to 1 or more KP
  • Kush claims, and is 99.999999999% responsible for, the extra D1 vote on rayn.

With random crap that isn't SUPER helpful being
  • Town had a doctor, therefore SOME anti-town party has KP
  • Kush shot during the day, doctor isn't day, so that doesn't match up unless he's like 1-2 shot any time vigi for someone. Unlikelyish
  • Vote manipulation sometimes scummy, 2 vote manipulators for town and nothing for anyone else is curious
  • I know I wasn't around, but the rayn lynch was really questionable and kush is essentially 40% of the non-rayn votes for rayn


He's more possible to me than others. Less likely than others, I imagine.

kush has weird posts on Kita, real weird. Think of kita as a person, his thought process is transparent, hopeless is tooscummytobescum and lynchbait. Lots of like...very randomly sure stuff on people he hasn't discussed TOO much. His comments on kita are strange throughout. REALLY WEIRD. JJD attacks kita, kush says JJD is "underestimating the fluidity of [kita's] reads D1."

Despite saying he doesn't know kita well, hasn't played with the guy much.

Just...look through kush's filter for kita and follow the trail. CURIOUS MAXIMUS.

Kush ALSO fails to comment at all on hopeless/vivax/JJD, even though he's been pushing Vivax during the day and is scummy on vivax and voting him. But then he drops off Vivax for being "engaged and shit" on D2, and says he's overestimating Vivax's town game. (KUSH DID NOT POST WITHIN LIKE 4:30 OF LYNCH, THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS HOPELESS POSTING BUT NOT COMMENTING ON THINGS. BUT THE VIVAX STUFF IS ODD, THE WAY HE JUST DUMPS HIS READ)

Kush tonight is possible scum on THRAWN, JJD, DJODREF, AMIKO, and POOFTER. Half the game is possible scum with no real reasoning. Then he jumps on Amiko for having "weak shit" to back up reads.

Some of this play is just kush. I don't have a good meta grasp, have not gone back and read games, should do that if alive D3. Kush's townieness essentially just stems from the claim and shot, and I don't like sorting people's alignments based on roles, I have used that to great effect as scum in themed games myself. KP + sekrit voting are questionable town powers.


Blah blah blah. Does anyone believe kush town/supertown based on NOT his role? We should chat! Because his filter raises some flags between his magically appearing N2 reads, all his stuff on Kita, and ... actually those are the biggest things for me.

You were on kita with ~30 to go.

Posted you'd lynch kita or toad.

Swapped to toad 1 minute after that, with 32 minutes til lynch (in voting thread, no mention in main thread)

So you made the vote RIGHT AFTER SAYING YOU WANTED TO LYNCH KITA


And right before this you'd said kita was wrong on vivax, should be scumreading everyone based on his vivax logic, so you SHOULD be scummy on kita.

And now you're not sure about kita, when yesterday you were kita/toad, and toad was town, and kita hasn't really done anything, and this does not particularly make sense.

Posted you'd lynch kita or toad.

Swapped to toad 1 minute after that, with 32 minutes til lynch (in voting thread, no mention in main thread)

So you made the vote RIGHT AFTER SAYING YOU WANTED TO LYNCH KITA


And right before this you'd said kita was wrong on vivax, should be scumreading everyone based on his vivax logic, so you SHOULD be scummy on kita.

And now you're not sure about kita, when yesterday you were kita/toad, and toad was town, and kita hasn't really done anything, and this does not particularly make sense.


Wow
No that's not really wow. It's consistent with what he was saying, not last minute, and I don't get giant scum alarms from that ninja vote.

Are you now bubbling over with townie delight at him? You seemed scummy on him for particular things he'd done - his D1 voting, his response to poofter, blah blah.

Just the fact that you were liking kita/toad for scum and vivax was fighting the right way with kita = vivax more likely town?


yep
If kita flips town, vivax is the reddest red in redville?


lol I don't plan on flipping unless mafia shoots me based on my claim.


Thrawn, was it this post of mine that shifted your views?


no but it's posts like that one. I was already back to null reading you right before before the D2 deadline
Could you elucidate on this? It feels like you're either mafia or this thought process is difficult to follow, and we need to nail this down. Vivax, toad, and kita, starting from like partway through D2, could you explain what your thoughts were and when they shift?

It's strange for you to go from scummy on kita/toad, to now townie on kita when he hasn't really done anything, and there really isn't anything else from you. From D2 to now, from the kita/toad post to now, toad died and flipped town, and you're apparently townie on kita, which would leave you with just absolutely no scumreads/suspicions. That is CURIOUS from someone who is A CONCERN.

i THINK i'm groovy with JJD?

He is willing to post a lot on some weird tangents, like me questioning him about slam being town, he gets active and asks kind of the right questions for a rose once Hopeless reveals his role. He's like...oddly insistent about Vivax revealing who he targeted, does NOT want to lynch toad (wants to lynch kita).

He's...very focused on roles and claims, I think D3 he needs to be pushed for more just regular reads, but he HAS been doing some of that when he talks about amiko, kita, some with hopeless before hopeless claim.

For right now, JJD is groovy with me, just less groovy than the folks I absolutely take off the list.

I didn't say I'm currently townie on kita austin. the theme of this whole conversation is that I DONT KNOW what my read on kita is. if I had a read to give you I'd give it to you, but I simple don't. the kinds of posts I'm talking about like the one kita quoted, are the kinds of posts you yourself look for to try and town read people. it's the casual flippant conversational type of posts that seem more like a townie posting their immediate thoughts. I think the first time I notived kita making a post like that was at the D1 deadline, when some people started voting for gumshoe and kita made some comment about the wagon (like a disaproving, you guys are silly type of comment). So I find the way he converses with people to be townie. I just get a bad feeling about him because of his main D1 and D2 pushes. HENCE the confusion and my inability to commit to a kita read.
Okay.

One could suggest you put on your ... questionable logic hat, and go back in time to D2. Looking at Vivax/kitaman/toad, tell the thread how your thoughts develop on them as they post and whatnot.

Can do this D3 I guess, it's not necessary in this last hour, but....it is CONCERNING that you would want to lynch toad or kita, not be sure on kita, continue to be unsure on kita, and basically have spent the last 24 hours then with no real scumread and not developing one.

Town can lack scumreads, can do other things, whatever, but you seem adrift in a not-necessarily-townie-way. And that is possibly extra troubling when you go "Dear scum, I suck at scum, don't make me scum, you don't want me scum."

Don't see the benefit at this point.
There appear to be a number of people who do. You're also...on a lot of suspicious lists. Mainly because you're kinda suspicious over there. It's also unlikely we have TOO many cycles left in which to get things right, if we mislynch D3 that's 3 mislynches plus a shot on a townie plus a nuke on a townie.

Which is...a lot of dead townies.

I can think of certain reasons for you not to claim, but...........hmmmm. Maybe don't.

Stupid random musings in case of death, still looking at hopeless and then kita further:

If we see dudes die tonight, for realsies, then look over Amiko's D1 suspicions. We don't know whether a kill was stopped N1, we don't know HOW, but if we have a kill tonight then we probably should have had one N1. If Amiko WAS the shot, POSSIBLE that he's got a suspicion on scum, because otherwise i might expect the shot on someone else who looked townie.

If hopeless's role is for serious, and it would appear to be, that doesn't magically make him town. If JJD does something particularly TOWNIE as rose, especially something like inoculating folks against conversion or whatever, then it might be good for scum to have a way to track rose's actions. Whatever, just don't sleep on hopeless. The role would become weaker once rose dies, but it's still INFO for scum, and maybe still helpful, and blah blah blah.

Okay good. Not 100%, as I could see scum having either the Cyber Planner or the Doctor as a main role, possibly with Godfather protection, but that's nice.

I am a roleblocker and RBed Toad N1, RBed Kita N2. If kita shows town and does what I think he might do, he's likely cleared. If kita doesn't do what I think he might do, it may be because of my RB and Vivax would have faked his claim (or kita don't do what i think he do).

"You are Amy Pond, wife of Rory Williams and one of the Doctor’s many companions. You have traveled far...and...uh...uh...sorry I got distracted. I mean have you seen your legs!?

I also requested a fakeclaim but didn't get a name with it.

Realized it was kind of abusive to request like 5-10 fakeclaims, try to figure out what chars were given in fakeclaims and so weren't in the game.

SERIOUSLY WHY DID EVERYONE NOT REQUEST A BUNCH OF FAKECLAIMS JUST FOR FUN (ALSO DON'T DO THIS)

Oh yeah, sorry. I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE FUN.


Basically, your reads have been mushy or not reads on kita/sorta vivax, and I know you may have reason for that, but also we're playing mafia and it's D3 and YOU ARE SUSPICIOUS and we need real info from you and you're gonna have to take stances and make posts on these people.

So I propose that, if you don't know quite what to make of kita or vivax, there is a WHOLE LOTTA INFO in the last 26 hours or so.

I would like for you to go back to Kita/Vivax stuff, and explain specifically where your thoughts go on Kita and Vivax throughout the end of D2 --> N2. If you end up at "I dunno wtf they are" then fine, but there should be points where you're pushed one way or another for REASONS, and you can explain those, and we can read them, and maybe solve the dang game.

Maybe if you let us see exactly what was/is going on, we can determine your alignment. Or something. If not that, maybe it helps YOU make up your mind, because if you're town we could use you having a made up mind and not waffling on people who are going to be lynch options today.

I'm cool with secret, but doing a little googling doesn't indicate to me that there's "common sense" behind this. There are a couple discussion threads with people saying it should resolve in different ways, and it appears to be host-specific.

When you say you "think" the order is secret, does that mean you/we can check with crossfire later and get a Host Prime confirmation of secrecy or no?

Even if we don't know the resolution order, if you were roleblocked by Vivax then we can assume the same result happened both nights (either your target was blocked both nights or wasn't blocked either night).

Kita if you won't claim your role information I'm unhappy, but at least weigh in on this somewhat if you are able to.
N1 toad
N2 kita

Can't confirm anything about N1, given that toad didn't have anything for me to RB and confirm that I acted, plus he's not alive, plus he claims nothing would have happened anyway.

I think that for now we shelve the roles and actions and stuff if we don't have clear scum.

Thrawn should either work through his kita/vivax thoughts, or post some other stuff that's good on scumreads and goes forward and makes conclusions and whatnot.

Kush should post his entire role. And also post a bunch of other stuff.


I see no reason NOT to lynch within Kita / Hopeless / Kush today, thrawn as a scummy person but likely not original scum. If we've got a conversion a night, that's another thing to be worried about, but we'll deal with that later.

(And after saying we shouldn't talk about it, we should remember we saw no N1 kill. If the kill was onto Amiko, we check his D1 reads, and assume the protect saved. If the kill was onto me, that would mean vivax or hopeless is scum again due to visits)

Step away for a moment.

We have a nuke, maybe.

We need thrawn to actually do stuff since D1.

We need Kita and Kush to join the fun.

If they all do this within 12 hours or so, we have a lot to work with, and we can all be posting as well in that time or whatever. If they don't do this, we have nice, happy lynch targets. I think we've seriously narrowed down who can be un-converted mafia, and we clean that up and then work on who might have been converted.

The claims and setup just get in the way of us finding people who are scummy.

Thrawn is scummy for doing little since D1, and for seeming to take no stance on people who are important.

Kita is scummy a little bit for just pushing people who are likely to town, and WAY MORE for how disorganized and uncoordinated town was D2 while Kita just sat back and let it happen. This is a thing that scumKita has done, from what I know of his scumplay (at least one game). He looks townie early, but then can't keep it up, and while he recognizes how thread is going/when direction is needed/when a strong presence is needed, he never steps in to provide. His late D2 play and N2 play make him pretty dang scummy for me. That's GAMEPLAY reasons, and then there's the tiny bit where in the episode references, the Doctor gets partially Cyberman-ified, and so it's a good town-sounding role to give scum.

Kush has just generally been scummy except for popping off Gumshoe, imo. And that's based on nothing but the roleclaim. Otherwise, he's 40% of the votes on a questionable rayn lynch, and he doesn't really seem to be pushing things forward. Plus his interactions with kita are INCREDIBLY strange - I don't know kita, but this is how I imagine kita plays, and all sorts of kita-meta comments.

Hopeless is also scummy for reasons, and maybe only scummy for claiming, but also maybe still scummy.

PEW PEW PEW SCUM GONNA DIE TOWN GONNA WIN.

Might be frustrating and confusing but we gonna win.

PURE CONJECTURE

Scum Hopeless, upon realizing he messed up in saying I targeted Kita last night, would NOT say the hosts told him they made a mistake, and would instead say Vivax was scum and try to go for him today, forcing a Hopeless v. Vivax lynch.

MAYBE

POSSIBLY

It feels like an odd knee-jerk reaction from scum getting caught in a lie to immediately accuse the HOSTS of lying and then correcting themselves, rather than accuse MYSELF or VIVAX of lying.

Kush didn't have a nuke yesterday. He shot gumshoe in more of a bullet-y, vigi-y, capacity. The nuke was invented and was sent to JJD.

It's highly unlikely all claims are true, and if they are, it's likely there's stuff elsewhere to balance them out.

Mildly here. Kush did not claim the vote on D1, only later when asked.

I am in favor of a check on Kita. I think Kita/hopeless are the best options, and prefer kita cuz greenkita is good kita. Redkita is bad kita. There SHOULD be more discussion, however, and people should also do normal playing-mafia-stuff.

You liked poofter's points on Vivax D2. But then also didn't want to vote Vivax.

I'm still particularly interested in a timeline of thrawnthoughts on Vivax and Kita, and Toad even though he's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

We can do the 24 hour thing, but the specific thing I wanted was for you to read over portions of the last chunk, and give thoughts as you went along, and see if it led you to any specific conclucions. Not just "what did you think about vivax/kita/toad" repeated x5, but "you don't appear to have come to any firm conclusions, you're either being truthful about that or lying. Either way, conclusions are good and helpful and necessary, and you should look back over that stuff to see if it guides you anywhere specific or if you can explain why you're having issues getting to firm reads."

Poofter is indeed playing curiously, but that's a change since D2, not D1. If I had a gut, and not a Glorious Bird God Gizzard, and if my hypothetical gut were a betting gut, I would go with thrawn N1 conversion and either poofter or amiko N2 conversion

That's for later though. For now, we need dudes doing stuff that ain't scummy. We need dudes to talk about who they think should be checked, and why they have people on the list who aren't kita (they probably should), and why they think the check shouldn't be on kita (they shouldn't think this).

We should also have kita claim.

We should also all be friends and smile. Mafia, we will kill you, but we will smile while we do it. We are the friendliest murderers of your faction that you're ever going to meet.

That also sounds good, but you're going to have a hard time playing the game without a firm read on Kita, who's a Person of Interest, and a Lynch Candidate, and Whatnot.

So in some ways, urrthing intersects.

Yes, but I think the change would be more D2 --> D3, or something, and I get to be super paranoid that scum is getting worried and so you guys are setting yourself opposite each other and blah blah blah.

Until stuff happens like you not having a magical new read on poofter or talking about people other than poofter or us discussing who to check, or kita claiming, or any other jazz, then I really don't care about poofter much at all. Especially if you think he was converted, then it would still be optimal for town to take out whoever is DOING the converting, and therefore, poofter is a fallback lynch for you and you want to be hunting for Da Mafia Boss.

that's just stupid

there is no way that if i think i've found mafia that I'm going to ignore that

and REALLY austin. I wish there were players in this game that knew me, they would be able to tell you that I am the worst conversion target ever on the forum.
You don't have to ignore him. But there's more than a single mafia in this game. And one or more of them are more dangerous than the others (assuming we're dealing with a specific converter(s), and not everyone gets to start converting).

I'm not so much asking you to ignore him (I know I kinda am a bit), but just to...not ignore EVERYTHING ELSE.

Hopefully that makes sense, to everyone reading. Focusing purely on tehpoofter isn't a focus on mafia and scumhunting, it's IGNORING EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GAME, including things like KITAMAN.

Yayayayaya this is a super quick question let's at least talk about this.

We have a thing. A townie made the thing. It is supposed to help us find scum.

Should we use it? (this is an easy one)
Should we use it on Poofter?
Should we use it on Kita?
On someone else?

@austin so how many scum you think there is cause if I was being objective I would say 3 at this point unless they missed a conversion then 2 assuming a 1 scum start.
I find a 1-mafia start unlikely.

Would guess 3-4 total. Probably 2 start and a third converted? Another option is a 3 start with the option to convert 1 person or so, I don't think there's some MASSIVE conversion with a 3 scum start.

Also given all the talk of alignment switching, I don't know what to think about conversions exactly. Having anti-conversion mechanics in rayn indicates that conversions are a lasting threat to town, indicating we probably start with like 2 scum and the threat of conversion is constant. I kind of thought there might be multiple alignment-swapping mechanics, given the OP, but it seems difficult to swap people from scum to town --> they just give up the team.

One option is nothing but pseudonyms in scum chat. Seems terrible.

One option is scum having limited conversion or no conversion powers, and things just happening naturally. If amiko's role swap is to be believed OR not believed, conversions could simply be a function of time. If x is alive for y cycles, send new message, convert, etc.


OVERALL THOUGH ALL THAT ASIDE I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY AT 3-4 RIGHT NOW

JJD claimed to target ME N1, and kita N2.

On N1, hopeless (if truthful) would have seen Vivax and JJD targeting me. That checks out.
On N2, hopeless would have seen JJD targeting (kita).

At first, hopeless said he saw ME visiting last night. I roleblocked kita, or attempted to, so that checks out.

However, hopeless shortly thereafter said he got a correction and that he saw NOBODY else visiting his target. That would be the case if Vivax roleblocked me, I would not have visited kita.


I don't believe there to be a contradiction. There's a contradiction if you assume Hopeless is lying about host update, 100%. However, if you believe the update, there's no contradiction.

Anyway, here is where I sit in my currently unhelpful spot (because holy crap we need to lynch scum and we're all sort of dawdling while "waiting" on crap, which btw is scummy in its own right)

kush has weird posts on Kita, real weird. Think of kita as a person, his thought process is transparent, hopeless is tooscummytobescum and lynchbait. Lots of like...very randomly sure stuff on people he hasn't discussed TOO much. His comments on kita are strange throughout. REALLY WEIRD. JJD attacks kita, kush says JJD is "underestimating the fluidity of [kita's] reads D1."

Despite saying he doesn't know kita well, hasn't played with the guy much.

Just...look through kush's filter for kita and follow the trail. CURIOUS MAXIMUS.

Kush ALSO fails to comment at all on hopeless/vivax/JJD, even though he's been pushing Vivax during the day and is scummy on vivax and voting him. But then he drops off Vivax for being "engaged and shit" on D2, and says he's overestimating Vivax's town game. (KUSH DID NOT POST WITHIN LIKE 4:30 OF LYNCH, THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS HOPELESS POSTING BUT NOT COMMENTING ON THINGS. BUT THE VIVAX STUFF IS ODD, THE WAY HE JUST DUMPS HIS READ)

Kush tonight is possible scum on THRAWN, JJD, DJODREF, AMIKO, and POOFTER. Half the game is possible scum with no real reasoning. Then he jumps on Amiko for having "weak shit" to back up reads.

Some of this play is just kush. I don't have a good meta grasp, have not gone back and read games, should do that if alive D3. Kush's townieness essentially just stems from the claim and shot, and I don't like sorting people's alignments based on roles, I have used that to great effect as scum in themed games myself. KP + sekrit voting are questionable town powers.


Blah blah blah. Does anyone believe kush town/supertown based on NOT his role? We should chat! Because his filter raises some flags between his magically appearing N2 reads, all his stuff on Kita, and ... actually those are the biggest things for me.
Most of that is just rambling. I do that too much. Open Kush's filter and follow along. Here are salient points:

Kush's Early Game
Kushmasta is super logical and active at the beginning of the game. Boom, slam is scum for writing sentences normally. Boom, kita is random voting for info --> and that means that kush is concerned about thrawn's response. Questions about mass claims, thoughts on slam being survivor/mafia, "catching" rayn for his actions and comparing them to past games, comments on past crossfire games being solvable with mass claims, comment on toad's case on hopeless (unconvincing) --> using that case to make a read on toad (probably town).

Take that. Take that D1. He's making reads on people, he's posting in response to things happening, toad makes a case? Kush talks about the case AND makes a read on toad. Kita random votes? Kush talks about random voting AND asks questions of thrawn about his response. Yes yes good good.

Now, couple of things.
  • Compare that D1 to N1/D2/N2/D3. The engagement drops off HEAVILY. The posting drops off. Commenting on just...THINGS drops off. Reading people, going that extra step drops off. There's very, very little "AND" in his D2 and D3 so far. Kita checks town AND..... Vivax is scummy then townie THE END, NO AND. JJD is wrong about Kita AND.....

    NOPE. NO ANDS. NO FOLLOW THROUGH. JUST LITTLE DRIPS OF INFO. NO AND. HOW MANY AND? ZERO AND. A LACK OF AND.

  • Compare Kush's posting this game to recent games. I chopped off VIVAX420 hydras, and Normal Mini. Game ended at the end of D2, Kush ~15 pages filter, TL Mafia LXIV: The Restart. Kush dies N2, ~ 10 pages, Super Mario Brothers Mini, Kush is NKed on N1, ~12 pages filter. All town games. However, mafia Kush gets lynched on D4 in Default Suspicions Mafia. ~7 total pages, and is endgamed D5 in Witchcraft, ~14 pages.

    Some of that will be pre/postgame banter. But kush's town posting LOOKS more voluminous in most of this town games. He appears to post LESS as scum. This game we're just into a 7th page of filter, almost halfway through D3. That, to me, is MORE similar to scum games, although it's not AS little as Default Suspicions. It's not, however, the double digits he's normally cranking out in 2 days as town.

  • Look at Kush <--> Kita, below.

Going after difficult targets is the last thing I'd want to do as mafia on day one. When I accuse a player, I want them to think I'm town or not put up a fight. I almost always go after the newbies because they will let me get away with it. I know rayn and kush are the types of players who will have a fit if I do so, so I'd simply pick someone like jarjar, poofter, or the easy slam vote today.

The biggest thing about rayn right now is how sure he is. I know that even with the case I have made, I'm not completely confident. He is sharing his reads with certainty with no evidence that he has looked at my past mafia games or questioned me at any point prior to me presenting the case. The biggest thing to address for him regarding my alignment is the shadow connection that I tried to make. Yet rather than suggesting that I tried to duplicate the town meta so that he would develop a town read on me, he ignores it completely.

I didn't really think too much of the post that Toad/Foolishness pointed out. Hopeless shows signs of guilt with his slam vote. As a town player, I'd expect annoyance from slam's play, yet this comes off as slightly apologetic. His defense of rayn at the start I found scummy and these posts sound as if he is writing them as mafia to sound town, but I admit that is a weak line of reasoning here.

In my currently preferred scenario, we lynch rayn. If he flips town, hope a vig can get you or slam and probably end up lynching the other one.


These posts seem like the ideal mafia scenario if rayn is indeed town, which would be opportunistic from his perspective. He makes the assumption that if rayn flips town, I must be mafia. This is scummy because up until this point, he hasn't hinted at having a mafia read on me or having a problem with my case. In fact, he defends me explaining how I could coast along with the slam lynch. So there is a gap in logic here if he would be so open to my death.

At first, I really thought that rayn and hope could be scum buddies. rayn exploded with anger about Toad's post. He then showed a defeated attitude, as if he had no choice but to vote hope for an incredibly, incredibly weak reason. As buddies, he would have to anticipate a huge wagon on hope at that point and I wasn't feel the sentiment at that time. Since then it seems less likely that they are both mafia, with a shifting read on hope to town from rayn and an attack on rayn from hope after my case.

I would say that hope is scummy to me, but the discussion about the town vs town is all speculative, pre-flip analysis, which I'd want to avoid. The biggest point is how open he would be to see me die to enforce the 1v1 trade, without making any argument as to why we must be of opposite alignments.

There wasn't enough here to make me move off of rayn here. I'd like to do vivax/djo next and see if austin's points have any merits. austin himself I've ignored for the most part and I'll likely continue to do so until a red flag pops up.

Why is the boldified relevant?
Have you ever played with town rayn before? I'm sure you have. In that game, was he not super sure about his reads d1?
Why do you write more about how hopeless is scum, yet you push the rayn lynch? In your last post about rayn, which is not quoted, half of it is saying why you think he might be town. So basically, what made rayn a better lynch than hopeless yesterday?
Questioning Kita's loyalties, and why he voted rayn. Keep in mind kush doublevoted rayn. It's okay to question someone else's motives for voting your target, that's super sexy. But kush never does this until AFTER the lynch.

Scum numbers need to be balanced. If you start with the max scum numbers for a 14 player setup and then add a changing alignment mechanic on top of it your would need to compensate somehow. Having a scum - > town conversation makes no sense since they would simply post the scum list, so a nerfed starting number makes the most sense.

Yes, though I don't recall him ever going after myself actually. The fact that he was willing to call me 100% confirmed mafia I found incredibly scummy because he essentially took that stance based on my post on him. I can't imagine myself ever acting like he did as town, but I guess he runs hotter. When I posted my case on him, I gave him several opportunities to justify his scum read on myself and essentially he gave a "I don't care"/"I'm too lazy" response even though he suggested that I was mafia several times. That didn't sit well with me so I went after him and he blew up.

I wrote about hopeless because I wanted to look at a few other people before deciding that he was my preferred lynch. At the point where I wrote the rayn case, I hadn't looked at anyone else with much depth yet. I did explain in my post why I felt rayn was a better lynch due to admitting the weakness of the case based on the few quotes I picked out and that his relationship with rayn was based on post-flip analysis. I was making assumptions about his alignment based on rayn flipping a certain way, which wasn't what I wanted to base a day one lynch on. The biggest point against hope was that he seemed to suggest that he wanted to follow through with the 1:1 trade if rayn flipped town, even though he seemed to agree with my case and had not mentioned any suspicion of myself prior to rayn suggesting the deal.

I'll likely be spending more time reading than posting this night cycle, but I may pop in from time to time.

The conclusion is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY wrong. "Scum are careful and don't do scummy things. Therefore, people doing scummy things are probably town."

Seriously. I'm not exaggerating. If I'm twisting those words, it's BARELY. Kita revealed info town shouldn't have, but he's townie for that because scum would be careful and not reveal this information. ALSO ALSO, small contrast with kush asking how kita plays scum....MAYBE KITA IS THE WORST SCUM PLAYER ON EARTH OR ALWAYS SLIPS OR WHATEVER, KUSH HAS BASICALLY NO IDEA HOW CAREFUL KITA IS AS SCUM BUT WILL TOWNREAD KITA FOR DOING SOMETHING SCUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and another ! for good measure

Did you not just read my last post? He defended rayn after rayn supposedly fell into his trap. Later on he made a whole case based on stuff that happened before the post where he defended him.


1 i would not call that a defense
2 if you look at kita's case, he is quite open about having doubts that rayn is scum, and he points out things about rayn that look townie.

i am not seeing inconsistency.
Kita is open about having doubts that rayn is scum. But pushed his lynch, and together Kita and Kush are 60% of the non-rayn votes on Kush.

IF KUSH IS TOWN, I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO GO "WELL GEE GOLLY, KITA DOUBTED RAYN WAS SCUM, BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE RAYN WAS REALLY SCUMMY, I SHOULD KNOW, I PUT TWO VOTES ON HIM MYSELF, AND IT'S OKAY TO HAVE DOUBTS BUT LYNCH SCUMMY BROS.

Even if I disagree with some of thing things he is saying, he is taking more stances and following through with them. hope on the other hand is kinda just there responding when he is called upon.


jjd, you are misunderstanding this post I think. Basically the important part is at the moment. Then a combination of two things happened. Rayn did some shit kita found scummy AND kita reconsidered the scumminess in rayn's play.

To me, Kita's thought process is VERY transparent. He wrote at least two long ass posts dealing with his reads and the thought process behind them. His play would be extremely hard to pull off as scum I think.

Furthermore, think of Kita as a person. I don't know him that well, but from what I've seen, I seriously doubt he would be the kind of flashy scum player to try to get rayn mislynched D1. I see kita as being a less confrontational scum player.
Yes that meta is based on complete assumption.
Now kush is really going deep TO EXPLAIN SOMEONE ELSE'S ACTIONS AND THOUGHT PROCESSES.

THIS IS A GUY WHOSE SCUM GAME HE DOESN'T KNOW. HE HASN'T CLAIMED ANY MEGA KITA KNOWLEDGE. HE HASN'T EXPLAINED WHAT OTHER PLAYERS WERE THINKING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. HE DOESN'T KNOW KITA WELL, BUT WANTS JJD TO "THINK OF KITA AS A PERSON"

THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL

HE DOESN'T KNOW KITA'S SCUM PLAY. HE ASSUMES THAT KITA'S SCUM PLAY ISN'T FLASHY. HE ASSUMES KITA IS LESS CONFRONTATIONAL. BUT JUST EARLIER, INSTEAD OF MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, HE WAS ASKING HOW KITA PLAYS SCUM.

DOES NOT COMPUTE. DOES NOT COMPUTER. #ANGRYSQUAWK.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH KUSH IS BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO EXPLAIN WHAT KITA WAS DOING AND HOW KITA THINKS AND THAT IS REALLY ODD.

KUSH HAS TRACKED KITA THROUGH THE BUSH USING NOTHING BUT BROKEN BRANCHES AND TRACES OF PARTICULAR BERRIES LEFT IN KITA'S FECES. KUSH KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT KITA WAS THINKING AND HOW HE PLAYS AND THIS REMAINS REALLY FUNKY.

Now kita might have been converted. NOT starting scum. Strong D1, weaker other days.

(Note: I didn't post the full blurb in this game, but I swear I've posted it in 1-2 others. Probably Shadow. I made some minor mention here about how Kita was looking town D1, but I needed to wait, and last time I "caught" him I got NKed N1 and it was too late to push him as a sure thing. But scumKita, when I've seen him play scum, looks REALLY townie for most of D1, then just coasts. He stops pushing things, doing work, giving large reads, making cases, etc. He just builds up that cred and glides. That is EXACTLY what I remember of Kita's scum play and EXACTLY what has happened this game and EXACTLY what kush is saying)

FOR ALL KUSH'S THOUGHTS ON KITA AND HIS PLAY AND HIS LONG, FLOWING HAIR, AND FOR ALL HIS D1 READS "AND", KUSH MAKES A SERIOUS OBSERVATION ABOUT KITA AND 100000% DECLINES TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT. KITA KNOWS TOO MUCH ABOUT CONVERSIONS, RAYN FLIPPED TOWN WITH A ROLE DEALING WITH CONVERSIONS, KITA LIKELY HAS A ROLE THAT CONCERNS CONVERSIONS, AND ______________????? IS KITA TOWN/SCUM....WHAT!?

If slam is a survivor, then kush being the first one to defend him may make sense as mafia if he knows his alignment.

Kita will look into Kush's mafia play. Kush's defense of slam seems POSSIBLE scummy.

austin, do you think toad's "foolishness" read was simply an attempt to throw us off early? Does his no vote mechanic seem like a way to make up for the mafia conversion balance wise or does it seem more like a town role to you?

Kita asks me about suspects, I say kush/toad/gumshoe, kita does not have kush as a scum suspect despite - (1) the slam response maybe being scummy and (2) kush calling him out for extra information, AND THEN THERE'S NO FOLLOWUP ON THIS FROM KITA OR ANYTHING, HE JUST DON'T CARE

It lines up with his position of not lynching slam and suggesting that we look at those that do since mafia are likely to go after third party targets. His post length seems to be what I would expect from a town kush as well.
Kita defends kush here, kush likely town because his opinion on survivors is the same as in the past. This isn't....really substantive? Someone's opinion on survivors, ESPECIALLY IF EXPRESSED OVER AND OVER AS TOWN, is probably not the BEST reason to townread them. What about actual PLAY? Does Kita like Kush's vote? Don't know.

Something I SHOULD say is that Kush likes to bus as mafia, especially just hammering on one teammate.

In Witchcraft, filter above, he's scumbuddies with djodref and he's all up in djodref's grill. In Default Suspicions, he doesn't really comment on his buddies much, although he says he's okay vigging one.

But I swear he's got a reputation for liking to bus.


That kind of weakens the case, but if you tunnel in hard enough, you see Kush talking about Kita having too much information D1, maybe starting to create distance. Then possibly because of low numbers, or Kita's role, or WHATEVER, kush backs off and is super defendy.

THIS DOES NOT FIT WHAT I KNOW OF KUSH'S META, THAT IS TRUE.

But i think the posts and the mindset and where he goes with things is scummy, regardless of meta.

Pared down Kush stuff.

(1) Kush's D1 involves a decent amount of posting, some casual posting, and an extension of his thoughts. "Kita is doing random voting ---> thrawn why did you respond like you did to the random voting?" "toad your case on hopeless is meh ---> toad is likely town for that case" "past crossfire games solveable with claims ----> claims probably no good here"

Kush's N1/D2/N2/D3 does not involve the same sort of posts. I do not see this as conversion-y, more just tailing off or getting comfortable with being scum in this particular game. But the feel of his posts shifts.

(2) Kush's filter is not as large as his filters in recent towngames. It is closer to the length of his filter in recent-ish scumgames. Specifically, even on games that end in 2 days, Kush's filter is generally double digits.

(3) This particular set of posts on kita.

Kita has too much information. This is in relation to Kita thinking scum started with low numbers and will convert people. This was before rayn's flip, we weren't SURE we had conversion mechanics in the game, just alignment-switching SOMEHOW.

im kind of busy with shit now so I'm not going to filter dive at this second, which is what I really need to do.

about kita having too much information.. since then i pretty much 180ed on that. It was how he said this game only has 1 or 2 scum, when i was approaching the game thinking there were 3 or 4.
But in actuality, if kita were scum, he probably wouldn't have said that at all because he would be extra careful not to reveal he has too much information.
This conclusion. Kita slipped and had too much information. HOWEVER, a scum kita would be careful and not reveal too much information. Therefore, implicitly, kita is town.

This post, particularly, is super duper duper scummy to me. Regardless of kita's carefulness, Kush thinks kita has too much information. If Kita is town, where does he get this information? Kush does not explain, think about this, anything. He simply assumes Kita would be careful scum, and so Kita is implicitly town. That is butt, because it gives no reason why kita would have information in the first place, and Kush is basically saying that scum would be careful and not do scummy stuff, so people who do scummy things are implicitly town. Absolutely a scummy conclusion, it's not logical, it makes no sense, it doesn't explain the game, not just this game but it's a bad conclusion ALWAYS.

(4) Contrast that with Kush appearing to not know Kita's scum game

Yes that meta is based on complete assumption.
This is kush in response to JJD attacking Kita. Kush doesn't know Kita's scumplay at all. But yet he'll assume how kita plays scum, and above he assumes that scum kita is super careful. He's just making stuff up about scum kita, in part to justify kita doing scummy stuff.

(5) Kush's check

Kush has been townie on kita before, "hella townie" during N3. Now he's worried about Kita, will check.

As part of explaining why kita might be suspicious (or something), he mentions conversions.

This is THE EXTRA INFO THAT KITA HAD D1. Kush doesn't mention that, forgets it maybe? Kush also fails to follow through this thought process.
  • Rayn had a power role related to conversion
  • Kita mentioned conversions D1 (too much info, remember?)
  • Kita probably has a role relating to conversions
  • _____________________
Personally, I would go "It's unlikely town has multiple roles that stop conversions. So other convert-y roles seem likely scum." Or "Rayn was a shrink. Town probably doesn't have 2 shrinks. Maybe kita does x." Or at the very least, ANY NEXT STEP IN THE THOUGHT PROCESS. Kita has too much information, kita seems to know the game involves conversions, _________________ . Nothing.

(6) Super speculation! In a game in which town has a heavy numbers advantage and scum needs conversions, scum needs a little bit of protection in the early game. SOME of that can come from town mission votes --> see toad. Less town votes mean scum less likely to get blown up on D1. Another way is MORE scum votes --> see Kush. An extra scum vote for a day means maybe extra control of the D1 lynch, and some confusion added. Kush's role also balances that out nicely for scum. You guys get an extra vote, but can exchange it for a single shot (posted in thread). Scum can continuously dick with votes, but only in exchange for giving up KP.




Anyway, I really don't trust this check right now. I could easily see Kush and Kita being mafia. The only townie thing in Kush's corner is his role/shooting gumshoe, and ALL WE KNOW ABOUT THAT IS THAT KUSH DROPPED AN EXTRA VOTE WITHOUT SAYING IT, THEN SHOT SOMEONE FOR CLAIMING HIS SPECIFIC ROLE. THAT JUST TELLS US KUSH HAD AN EXTRA VOTE AND KP. SCUM OR TOWN, WOULDN'T YOU SHOOT SOMEONE WHO WAS LYING ABOUT THEIR ROLENAME? IF YOU'RE TOWN, THEY ARE LYING SHOOT EM. IF YOU'RE SCUM, THEY AREN'T SCUM, SHOOT EM. EZPZ LEMON SQUEEZY.

I would like to hear kita fully roleclaim.

I would like to see people discuss what I've posted about kush. SPECIFICALLY, I'm extra interested in him not knowing kita's scumplay and making wild assumptions about kita, and I'm interested in his defense of Kita having too much information (scum would be careful), and I'm interested in his thinking kita might know about conversions and doing nothing with that.

But I think we likely lynch one of those two, although I super need to look back over Hopeless. I think those are the likely candidates for starting out mafia, possibly/probably both (depending on hopeless). More speculation on how kush gets the invention (given to kush? killer gets items, and his activity goes through before the giving of the item?) is not as useful as talk about his actual play.

But this whole thing really kinda smells to me.

As far as the nuke goes, I dunno about using it during the day.

If you can use it at night, it would be nice to hold it during the day and fire at night, because we'll have a little more information with a flip and possible role information. You also can't get converted BEFORE night, based on what we know, and that seems nice.

THERE'S ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU'RE A MEANIE AND YOU GET NEW POWERS BECAUSE YOU BECAME MAFIA BUT THAT'S KIND OF GOING TO BURN US ANYWAY, SO WE DON'T NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT SCENARIO.

I think with 2 roleblocks, given that I believe Vivax to still be town, and a nuke, we're in an okay spot if we lynch scum.

I don't know that things are simple or not. Last time I saw townrayn get lynched, it was a 100% town wagon.

I personally felt that rayn was NOT scummy on D1, he was too much like townrayn --> throw accusations everywhere and call austinmcc scummy

I think that IF kita knows something about conversions, it is VERY ODD that when rayn claims shrink, he doesn't try to push people off, or doesn't really comment on that and question rayn about this. Presumably, kitaman knows that this is a conversion game. Rayn claims a role related to conversions. Kitaman should be interested in this, it's not just a claim but a claim that is either fake or confirms mechanics not specifically in the OP which kitaman also knows about.

I would personally, as scum, like to see townRayn die. It's not reason enough to say "SCUM KILLED RAYN BOOM BOOM GAME OVER," but it's not a BAD decision for them to lynch townies, and lynch active townies, and lynch vocal townies.


It's more about process of elimination and actual play. These are the people with some pewpy play. Some questionable trains of thought, or questionable final destinations of trains of thought (kitaman with rayn's claim, kush with kitaman's too much info).

Also, to some extent, we know there are fake claims and it's likely we've had people fake claim already. We can't 100% sort out actions right now without a little more, just make a couple basic assumptions.

A lot of what kush has done is not scummy because of roles / actions / flavor / etc, but just actually general town/scum play.


Town doesn't say people are town for doing scummy things because scum wouldn't do scummy things.
Town is worried about people who have too much information, especially when a townie with that information flips, they worry a little more about an unknown player who had that information.
Town doesn't tell people they are underestimating "the fluidity" of someone's reads.

If kush is scum, I just want to policy lynch anyone who talks about fluidity in any game.

I think that the priority is to find some mafia. Then kill those mafia. Then worry going forward.

If Amiko ACTUALLY has a nuke AND were mafia, we're just in boatloads of trouble anwyay. If Amiko doesn't have a nuke, he's a lying poopyface and we'll know that based on whether there's a nuke.

In some ways, if the nuke exists, Amiko is likely likely town.

I find amiko's early stuff townie anyway, and am generally not thinking he be da mafia.

Guys...The way I read this from Djo's role PM it looks to me like he should have given a nuke to every player before being able to give the scummeter to Kush. Am I reading this wrong or is it badly formulated?
You're wrong.

He gives out 1 item per night.
He gives the item to one person.

He cannot give 1 item to Person A, and then a second item to Person A, until he has given 1 item to A, B, C, D ... X

He could not have given the scumometer to JJD, because JJD got one item and not everyone had received one item. He could give it to anyone that was NOT JJD, because everyone else was at 0 items received.

It was also in the OP that the scumometer was created. Same as the first nuke. There was no second nuke.

So the simple AND ALSO THE ONLY REALLY LOGICAL explanation is that the same role created both the first nuke and the scumometer. They were announced in the same way and iirc the role says the item gets annoucned with the daypost.

Yeah, the "you can invent one item, and if the game goes to like day 8 somehow and you're still around, you can maybe invent a second item" role is ... probably not one that hosts give out much

This kita thing is just wrong.

There's no reason to delay so much as town. There's no reason to delay so much as scum, because HOLY CRAP IT'S NOT HELPFUL.

There's no POSSIBLE WAY that everyone reads your big post and believes or disbelieves it, people are going to want to have some back and forth, and figure out where your thoughts are coming from and whether they follow properly.

It's just super stalling and taking time when there's really no reason to do so.

lol what does stalling do as mafia? I've already said I'm claiming and it's not like it takes me 6 hours to post a fake claim. I did think that I'd have this post finished quite a while ago though, so I do apologize that it's taking so long.

If you wanna get a head start on what my post goes into, here you go:

"You are the Doctor, the last remaining Time Lord. Being a Time Lord you can survive things most people can’t, thus giving you an extra night life (you are a vet). Unfortunately, you have only your sonic screwdriver with you because you can’t get to your time machine, the TARDIS. Thankfully, your sonic screwdriver can do practically anything. This means you have the following three abilities to choose from each night: protect, track, roleblock. You must use each of these abilities the same number of times before using another ability again, e.g. you must use each ability once before using any ability twice, you must use each ability twice before using any ability three times, etc. PM your action and your target’s name to all hosts.

You win with the Town."

N1) track djo
N2) protect austin

Stalling doesn't do ANYTHING as mafia. If anything, it makes you look all suspicious-like. It just doesn't serve a purpose either way, except that in a game where things are slightly stalled or discussion is scant, it doesn't provide a forward push.

you spent a long time defending him HARD though, on regular "he did this and that and these things were townie" avenues, as well as stuff like

"you underestimate the fluidity of his reads"

and

"he had extra information, but scum wouldn't let town know they have extra information, therefore he's town"


Its...difficult to accept "I read filters until I think someone is town then I stop" and also see posts like that. You didn't just think he was town, you defended him D2 when he was a legitimate scum option for a LOT of people, so obviously he's not the towniest town ever. In fact, he's not towny enough that you 100% flip your read when you actually look through his filter.

The combo of defending without reading everything and defending FOR THE SPECIFIC REASONS you did don't look gewd.

I think points 2 and 3 are legit.

I'm skeptical to believe Vivax could be scum given our recent turn as scum in III Titanic.

Interested in seeing stuff on hopeless, more interested in seeing things on Kush. Will reread Vivax, but i BELIEVE there's a bunch of comments from him that I found townie, asking this question or that question or just commenting on something at the "right" time.

III Titanic, 3 page filter, was the D1 lynch, mafia

Cultured mini, vivax 19 filter pages in 3 full cycles as town vigi

Game of thrones, vivax ~4 page filter, lynched on D3, mafia

Replaces into Bluelightz Mafia: The Attack, ~4-5 page filter in les than 2 full cycles, town

Titanic Mini, ~8 page filter, NKed N1, town


At least over the last chunk of time, he's much more posty as town, across the board. 3 and 4 pages in his scum games, compared to the first titanic with 8 pages in his first cycle. He's 11 pages in this game, which is a pretty decent amount compared to a lot of the players.

That's a point in his favor. Need to look at specific posts, but I wanted to check on that since we were JUST scum together and it didn't appear that either one of us could get our crap together and post. Caveat to that is that these were different games, there was a lot of posting in titanic, not so much activity here.

I also think he is buddying you to death. Why aren't 1 or 2 legitimate?


Err 1 or 4?
I think "wouldn't listen to my defense" when you never posted about it is meh. To some extent, there's plenty of reason for his mind to change --> rayn flips town, you attack him (regardless of defense), whatever. It's not as strong, to me, as the other stuff.

And as a paranoid person, I don't care about 4. I can understand "I find some people scummy and they want this other scummy guy to get checked and we're sort of at endgame and need a scum lynch and I'm really worried that this indicates a godfather." Like, your explanation for 4 starts out "From a mafia Vivax perspective." I don't really care if something makes vivax look scummy from a mafia vivax perspective, EVERYTHING IS SCUMMY FROM A MAFIA VIVAX PERSPECTIVE CUZ HE'S MAFIA...


Again, I need to do some more filtering. I'd love to hear Kush thoughts.

If someone spends a buttload of time on a post, I'm going to chat with them. I want to know kita's alignment and this is one way to work towards that.

Talking with kita, kita posting, is good for town. If I have to make posts that call you town in order to talk with kita, that still leads to goodness for town.

Also as far as point one, you start out by implying "vivax finds me townie" or saying "vivax implies that I'm townie for my push on rayn/etc."

Vivax's posts read more skeptical of you.

So to be clear, what do you think?


I like how you explain things around rayn here in your post in spoiler since I got the feeling that he's creating a lot of confusion and drama and I don't like that, it's just that I can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or cause he's just being like that and town but what I do see is that he throws around with scumreads without trying to let them be productive. He's accusatory not inquisitive and he reminds me of the kind of attitude I saw on him in that game where he hydraed with Mocsta as scum, in which he also behaved pretty negatively throughout the game.

I'm not sure if I would lynch him D1 though, I would rather be happy with a Kaslam lynch, like I mentioned it's also possible he's traitor and it's already enough if we don't lynch town and get the doubt of the way.

I random voted moments into the game, I refused to provide an explanation when asked, I requested that someone vote with me without details, I asked a similar question when prompted, and I moved off the random vote shortly after.

The goal here was to prompt someone to question my behavior and see if they attempt to make the connection or if they simply pass off my play as scummy. rayn mentioned that he observed shadow and toad and austin played in it, so even if they don't remember the random vote, it would likely be the first place to look as it was my most recent town game. It's important to note that I'm not trying to say that me emulating my shadow mafia play makes me town. I'm saying that the connection is there for anyone interested in finding it.

I've seen a couple of mafia players do this and it works really well because most of the players tire out and just stop arguing because it's so annoying and in the end you can't make anything out of it anyways because it takes about 5 hours to get an answer to a simple question.

Now there are three possible explanations:
1) He dropped the ball as town, attacking me without putting in the effort
2) He did the research as mafia, didn't like what he found, and dropped the case to avoid calling me town
3) He is a lazy scum player who didn't want to go after me at a point where several players are calling me town

If rayn thought that I was looking decently townie otherwise, then maybe I'd consider number one. The biggest issue that I have right now is that as far as I can tell, I am rayn's number one scum suspect. He is pushing slam for being anti-town and shows that he may have reconsidered his read on tehpoofer, yet not a word about myself.

rayn describes his play best. I don't think you can argue that he isn't being lazy here. rayn was given the pieces of the puzzle to solve and he chose not to because he "doesn't care".

This line of thought is pretty terrible. He explains his willingness to vote for hopelessness over a minor observation about hope a few hours into the game. Not only does he not consider that foolishness could be wrong, he is using the justification for the vote because he respects foolishness as a player, not because he thinks its a valid argument. He even goes as far as dropping his suspicion of myself due to my interaction with hope.

rayn states that he has done the most scum hunting in the game hands down, he suggests that I am his number one scum read, and he hasn't showed any attempt to figure out my alignment. As he mentioned earlier, he is trying to force the pieces in the wrong order.

The one thing holding me up is
1) His mass claim policy is consistent with his previous behavior as town
2) Slam is one of the most anti-town players in recent memory

Right now I'd probably be leaning towards a rayn lynch and hopefully having a vig take care of slam so he is removed as a discussion topic. I would like to look at a few more individuals before I finalize my vote.

Pushes for slam OVER a rayn lynch. So he's not thinking "Best Case of the Century" about you --> rayn.

Some stuff that might be relevant later. MWAHAHAHAHAHA I FOUND A THING MWAHAHAHAHAHA I AM SNEAKY MWAHAHAHAHA.

There's a lot of rolefishing, including at toad about being "protected." That's not so good.

A decent amount of thread wrangling. Let's stop talking about claims / possible reasons why nobody dead N1 / the alignment of Vivax, and focus on ---> this case, these people, etc. Townie, although certainly a thing scum can do. This INCLUDES stuff like hopeless half claiming, and vivax immediately swapping focus to other people he's been finding scummy or scummy-ish, saying hopeless is off the table.

Isn't IMMEDIATELY worried about JJD, given that we saw no KP N1, and he later believes that I might have been a N1 NK target. This is not good, during the claimfest he wonders what JJD was doing N1, but...if he believes he actually got a protect and ONLY JJD visited me other than himself, he should be believing that JJD tried to kill me. Like...he should at least have that lightbulb go off and be reading JJD the moment Hopeless claims.

He immediately, after the 2 N2 NKs, is looking at who they were suspicious of. Unclear what to make of this. If he's town, he's looking to see why they might have been NKed. If he's scum, those were NKs designed to drive the D3 lynch onto town, both djo/JJD scummy on hopeless and kita. HOWEVER, I assume scum trying to push lynches on town, not possibly get a scum lynched for no reason on D3, so his focus on hopeless/kita would make it more likely they are town in a scumVivax world, leaving us needing like 1-3 scummers to go with vivax who aren't myself/hopeless/kita and that's a weird world and I don't like it.



I dunno. His posts look pretty townie. He's constantly around, chiming in with smallish posts. That is 1000000000% unlike III Titanic, and I'm not liking this filter for scum. He also seems to legitimately be reading things. Randomly today finds Gumshoe saying he's the doctor. WHO ON THE SCUM TEAM IS LOOKING AT GUMSHOE'S POSTS ON D3? WHY IS THE SCUM TEAM LIKE "OH HEY, DID GUMSHOE RANDOMLY CLAIM ANY OTHER ROLES AND MAYBE SOME TOWNIES GOT IMPLICATED HUE HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE?"

THE ANSWER IS NO SCUM IS NOT LOOKING AT FRIGGING GUMSHOE'S POSTS FROM D1 BECAUSE GUMSHOE IS DEAD AND HE DOESN'T MATTER AND THEY'RE TRYING TO LYNCH TOWN AND WIN THE GAME AND THEY'RE GONNA ARGUE ABOUT STUFF THAT MATTERS AND NOT WHAT GUMSHOE DID ON D1 AND THAT IS STUPIDLY TOWNIE AND I KNOW THIS ISN'T A WONDERFUL REASON AND IF MARV IS IN OBS HE'S EITHER LIKE "DAMN AUSTIN IS BETTER THAN ME" OR THINKS I'M AN IDIOT BUT REALLY WHY IS SCUM IN GUMSHOE'S FILTER?

As far as poofter, I'll give him a further look probably early tomorrow, but there's a LOT of weird focus on roles, beyond just the weird stuff where he doesn't want to lynch them except some of them are cool to lynch.

I know it's a thing for scum to harp on and chat about and look busy, but when I've been reading it (at least up until today's start), it felt more like a townie overthinking/valueing the blue roles or something.

I dunno, he's curious but I liked his N1/early D2 enough that he's been off my radar.

Urg. Super important day for town in this game. We need to lynch scum.

Kita's semi-not-around for a bunch of it, clearly puts a bunch of work into some posts, makes points, has a train of thought, blah blah blah.

Okay, great. And he sticks around to talk about his post a little. Alright, good. But in the ~48ish minutes of making his post and leaving thread, while he talks about it a little and responds, he doesn't just go....check stuff on kush? Again, we NEED to lynch scum, and should want to know if kush is scum with vivax, more likely scum than vivax, if vivax is super scummy and therefore kush is townie because of whatever.

But he just...doesn't. He drops his case and moves things forward a little but in the tiny bit of extra time he's not like...looking for more.

MAN RIGHT AS I'M MAKING MY POST

I think 3 protective roles is a lot. I think 2 roleblockers for town is kind of a lot. I think being able to roleblock someone repeatedly (as JK) is weird, but my PM says nothing about not being able to target the same guy, and neither does Gumshoe's medic PM.

I think most anything and an inventor is a lot, that always feels like such a powerful role.

I think your stuff on why scum could use a the mickey role to track Rose (especially knowing she's a DT) and try to undermine her checks ahead of time is kind of doodycakes. For one, they don't know where she goes UNTIL SHE GOES THERE. They can't bus red checks or shoot green checks before she gets checks, because they don't find out where she went until she went there. They can bus a teammate right before Rose claims the red check, or can bus IF rose doesn't claim her role and just pushes red checks, but ...... it's not like they get free reign to limit the usefulness of cop checks. And if they got to watch AHEAD of time, were told who she was GOING to target, they could just kill targets. I don't think it's useful in the way you were saying, and I think it's really odd for you to go on that tangent, just for a bit, even if you conclude it doesn't make much sense for Hopeless to be mafia and Vivax town, etc.

I understand if you spent a lot of time. But that doesn't mean I still won't find it odd that you don't look at Kush, especially in the time where you're still spending time in the thread.

Like...spending a bunch of time shows that you care about the game. Which makes it more likely you look at things, tired or no, 5 hours or no. It cuts both ways.

Plus I'm curious about a Kush/Vivax team and whether you think that's possible. If it's NOT, then I'm looking in ALL THE WRONG AREAS AND THAT IS BAD. If you think it fits stuff, then maybe we have some common ground and maybe you're not mafia or whatever.

I think not questioning the claim at all, or sometimes calling slam survivor and not possible survivor or whatever is a scummy thing.

I will look over him more, but again, I just liked his response to my scumread on him and there was that one particular post that I just don't think scum makes.

why do you keep asking people what they think of austin's case against you


I think austin's case sounded townie even though it was against me. So its a weird question to ask mafia because if I'm right and austin is town then they have to comment on a town on town case and they might polarize who they can push on safely by answering in a way where they call us both town. I also find it odd it gained like no traction since I was town probably because there wasnt a lot of scum and rayn is stronger than me and was being voted but still its a good thing to bring up now before we get to a point where the main wagons from the D1 are lynched or dead or w.e. so if people bring it up as evidence they have to go with what they say no as opposed to being able to say w.e. they want to throw dirt on me or austin. (again this is mostly based on the read I have that austin is town.)

That one, it's such a wonky sentiment.

I think austin's case sounded townie even though it was against me. So its a weird question to ask mafia because if I'm right and austin is town then they have to comment on a town on town case and they might polarize who they can push on safely by answering in a way where they call us both town.
Like, it's just really weird. Sure, it could be scum giving a funky scummy answer and being unwilling to call me mafia, but it doesn't read like someone just unwilling to call me mafia, it's this strange-sounding plan "AHA I AM TOWN AND HE IS TOWN AND SCUM WILL HAVE A HARD TIEM DEALING WITH TOWN ON TOWN ACTION AND SO NOW I SHALL PURSUE SCUM HAHA!"

(Would be useful to look and see whether he pursues any reads on the people he was asking about my case on him. He SHOULD be doing this if he's really trying to read those people)

He also calls my existence as Quetzalcoatl "bird RP bullshit." Scum is unlikely to risk my wrath by mocking my divine avian nature.

(I called someone town because they were poking at Alakaslam and trying to get him to post and give reads and stuff. I need to check my own frigging filter, because that was a super townie thing and hopefully it's someone involved in all this)

Lol that vote count. A sad L.

Kita --> thoughts on kush
Everyone --> we should look at hopeless

And as pointed out, given that rayn could use a night action to block conversions, it's unlikely that conversions happen any time, and much more likely it's a night action.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

You were supposed to say they were scumbuddies. I have a post in another window about the Kush/Vivax interactions on Kush's ability being one or multi shot.

You were going to slip up and be lazy. I was going to post that and go AHA! And then we were going to lynch Kush and yourself and declare glorious town victory.

With the crazy number of town power roles this game, I think a 2 man mafia team is pretty much out of the question, which would mean we're likely dealing with 3-4 (probably 3 since survivor is also in play). Having 1 scum at the start of the game doesn't make a lot of sense since if they get lynched d1, then the game ends and that's kinda lame. Maybe the conversion role is only one shot?

Another thing that kush has against him vs vivax is that I'm inclinded to believe both of his jailkeeper actions. We know he jailed you night two for sure, so a night one jail is also likely. kush on the other hand doesn't have verifiable night actions, though I actually think a conversion makes more sense for kush than original mafia.

If you had to come up with a team for kush, Y, and Z and vivax, Y, and Z who would it be?
I'll do that in a sec, although I'm a butt and have to leave before lynch.

I dunno. Unless hopeless is mafia AND vivax is mafia, we know that vivax visited me D1 (either one of them being town would mean he visited). I didn't get converted, nothing untowards happened to me. Based on that and JJD NOT being a medic or anything (couldn't have been Vivax killing and JJD protecting), Vivax feels like an unlikely mafia, because wtf was he doing.

I don't think we can super solve the game RIGHT NOW. Butts.

I'm out until tonight EST, putting vote on kush, will check in from phone I guess. Super paranoid, but in the end, the BEST explanation for

"kita has too much information, but therefore is town, because scum wouldn't reveal the extra information" (Without any thought about the fact that HE STILL HAS TOO MUCH INFORMATION REGARDLESS OF ALIGNMENT AND WHERE DOES HE GET IT FROM)

"rayn had conversion info, so maybe kita did too" (Without any thought about whether two townies with conversion info makes sense or not)

AND FLUIDITY

leave me to just go with the simple explanation which is that kush is scum.

thrawn's D3 has been somewhat underwhelming. Lots of little posts, the larger reads he makes have conformed with what I was pushing/where the thread was going (Which I'm paranoid about).

I'd love to hear thrawn's thoughts on vivax, kita, kita's role speculation, good nuke targets (during day, before we know kush or someone else's alignment), why djo is town for this

i dunno. i changed my mind about you in the last couple hours and gained kita as a scumread because a combination of austin's points on kita/kush, my own reading of kush's filter, and I just realized that the way you're postnig prob makes you town. becasue you are trying to solve the game in a way where you have to assume that you are town.

so Kush, for sure. then maybe kita? If those two are mafia, especially if kush is mafia, then I think kita was also probably mafia during D1. I think we have 3 scum right now otherwise this game would probably be over already, which means that we maybe started with 2 mafia on D1? so my picks for those two are kush/kita. as far as a converted read.... i need to read amiko. previously I would have said this was you but right now I'm not really feeling it
because I don't generally see scum trying to solve the game by assuming they're not town

(I mean, you can't go "Okay guys, ASSUME I'M MAFIA (when you're not being attacked and trying to show how you being mafia just doesn't fit). Here's how the game works, everything falls into place, my buddies are B, C, and D, we're all mafia, and we're totally gonna win. NOBODY EVER DOES THAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND SO NOT DOING THAT IS NOT A GOOD REASON FOR A FLIPPED READ ON DJO).

Here's a neat open question, but would like to hear from poofter/thrawn/hopeless before others:

If kush is mafia, do you belive he used the scumometer and received a result that kita is town? If not, what do you disbelieve?

Not as much time as I thought, sorry. I have skimmed the last couple pages, gonna spam out basic thoughts, and maybe a smaller post later if still time.

(1) Kush was Cyber Leader. I think starting with a single scum in this game is absurd, as a single lynch or a town roleblock would ... end the game, more or less. So I think it's likely there were two to start with.

(2) We would have lost D3 if there were 4 scum. Therefore, only 2-3 scum total at that point, kush dead, only 1-2 now.

(3) I think infinite conversions is...wonky. If you don't start with 1 scum, and you could convert every night, you'd add people too quickly, and town could NEVER catch up (1 conversion per night (plus some KP) and only 1 lynch per day).

(4) Therefore, conversions are limited. Either a certain number, not every night, or, what I think is most likely...only kush can convert. If he's "Cyber Leader", makes sense that he's doing the converting, and when they lose their leader they can't convert? Maybe. I personally find this more likely than every other night, and PROBABLY more likely than every night choose to convert or shoot (who would shoot when you could convert?)

(4a) The scenario where only kush can convert is wonky because the game is STILL somewhat over if he dies early and it's just 1 remaining scummer all game. So maybe it's just 1 for the team? Or the every other night? I just don't understand ever shooting when converting is an option, and I don't think it's POSSIBLE for there to be 2 KP yesterday AND a conversion, that's OP.

Whatever, this is for later. But I think kush being Cyber Leader is important.


Nuke targets

Vivax not a target
Amiko not a target
Me not a target

Hopeless, Thrawn, Poofter, Kita

Gut says kita. So much of the reason that kush was scummy was posts ABOUT kita, kita didn't have a townie-smelling D2 for me, he followed the pattern I expect from scum kita (townie explosion D1 --> can't keep being townie explosion). Plus, if kita isn't mafia, kush just claims a red check on him, we MAYBE lynch him (he looks scummy AND we have a check now), kush wins the game with others. Kita just makes sense ESPECIALLY when looking at kush. Kush's comments, the claimed green check, kita very very very very likely mafia.

He put a crapload of work in there. He had some...townie sounding stuff after it. Joking about vivax and kush not being together, me saying I was supposed to catch him, and him being slightly silly in response looks...good. Not great, but it feels townie. So, his D3 feels townie to me, but the kush side of things looks bad for him.

(Paranoid flip side: If kush is scum and kita is scum, and kush is CYBER LEADER, kush just claims a frigging red check on kita. We lynch kita, kush looks better, PROBABLY keeps on surviving? MAYBE gets to convert more? Okay so...if kush and kita both scum, kush didn't have reason to push kita over himself, so he's likely NOT more important than kita or has used up all his juice?)


Good buddy for him is thrawn, maybe a kita + kush start --> thrawn conversion. Again, all the stuff about thrawn feeling more out of it/less involved/whatever applies after his start. For all the asking to go look at vivax and kita and toad, thrawn not doing so makes me very wary if kita is mafia. thrawn coming in recently and writing a post about how kita is probably town and also not thinking in the way I'm thinking about why kush would/wouldn't fake a check looks BAD for thrawn as a thrawn kita team. Thrawn feels....LESS scummy if kita isn't mafia, it's part associative here, but mainly I just don't get the sense that he's looking at things in the same way I look at them, he's observing them from the wrong angle.

I swear that I will read hopeless one day. He's done nothing that yells town to me, and is hanging on by a claim. We don't know that we can trust it, only that, on D1, he totally saw Vivax and JJD visiting me, and he knew Rose Tyler was in the game. He could just be a REGULAR watcher or get role names, watch me D1, see people, get names, blah blah. There are other explanations for what happens and, out of the claims, his is the most FUNKY. Every else is a regular thing - shrink, inventor, medic, roleblocker, JK, kita claims JOAT basically. Hopeless claims watcher, but funky watcher, and he has no control over targeting, and oh yeah if Rose is dead he just rando targets someone.

Poofter smelled bad D1 to me, but I really do like his defense and comments. Specifically, I don't think he could have been scum originally, and I don't think he was converted on N1. That makes him highly highly unlikely to be scum for me just based on elimination. I assume 2 scum day 1, less than 2 conversions, and a conversion occurring more likely on N1 than N2 (2 KP + conversion is too much, but no KP + conversion on D1 fits). Since he doesn't fit the bill for me to be original scum OR a conversion N1, I have a hard time thinking he's scum despite him just kinda...not playing much. Less likely than the other 3.


So if I had control of the nuke, I think I fire it at kita. I don't think thrawn or hopeless are bad targets, and I'm guessing 2 mafia between kita/thrawn/hopeless. I think poofter is a bad target. I think people who think poofter is the best target are, themselves, good targets.

Anyway, all that says:

I think 2 mafia alive is likely. I think Kita most likely mafia. I could easily see a Kita + Thrawn team, or Kita + Hopeless, but I think kita is in both pairs?

Poofter is NOT a likely mafia for me. I don't think he's an original mafia. I don't think he's a N1 conversion (his townie stuff was, for me, on D2. I haven't gone back to check his reaction to people that he was asking about my case, but that post just felt pretty darn townie). And I don't think we had 2 KP + conversion N2. If he isn't original, wasn't converted N1, and wasn't converted N2....he's probably not mafia.

I THINK I WANT TO DO A BUNCH OF SPECULATING ABOUT CYBER LEADER AND WHEN WE MIGHT HAVE HAD CONVERSIONS AND HOW MANY THERE ARE. BUT THAT PROBABLY WAITS UNTIL LATER, AND MAYBE DAY, AND MAYBE NEVER, WOULD RATHER EVERYONE JUST HUNT AND HUNT.




I would be particularly interested in hearing some talk about kush's check. I brought it up before, but I think people need to keep discussing, especially scummy and scummy-adjacent people.

Kush checks kita
Says green

If Kush and Kita are BOTH mafia, does this make sense? When?
If Kita is town, does this make sense? When?

I think thoughts on the check are a really neat way to look for slips, and also just to try and puzzle out exactly what is going on.

Ugh. I'm fine with any of the three, but I think there are some solid points there. His reads are super erratic on vivax, yet solidly townie on kush throughout. That's somewhat bad because, although we missed them as we were going along, the reasons kush was scummy were not setup related but just the crap in his filter, i.e., we SHOULD have been reading him scum if we were critically reading his filter. (X DID A SCUMMY THING BUT HE'S TOWN BECAUSE SCUM WOULDN'T DO A SCUMMY THING. HOW DID WE MISS THIS!?!?!?!?)


Okay. The more I read those things, the more I'm down with a kita or hopeless nuke. Stick thrawn to the side for now. I think kita is the safer bet. On the flip side, Amy Pond is kind of a badass at times, and I don't think she'd balk at saying we should keep kita around and have him be the tip top lynch candidate going into tomorrow. On the slight chance he's town, he's particularly useful and will probably be working his ass off to try and make cases on someone who better not be vivax. If he's mafia, then lol he has to work his ass off and make cases on people. It's more just than a quick death, and more amusing for us? That seems a little mean.

Anyway:

Kita
Hopeless
Thrawn

With not much space between the top 2. I like some of those points but vision fading, must return to the nest, flap flap flap

A Bird God has squawked angrily at you. Do you:

(2) Read some more of kush and thrawn and poofter and whatnot?

(3) Speculate in thread about how you, as a host, would balance a conversion ability, and how you think it MIGHT work.

(4) State in thread how conversion abilities work this game, while accidentally or purposefully revealing you are mafia

(5) Goad another player to do (4)

Ugh. Between Hopeless and Poofter, I'm way scummier on hopeless. I honestly do not believe Poofter fits the bill for mafia.

I dunno about you, but I can't be sure thrawn is town. I think kita's flip is somewhat telling there, but thrawn has been wonky on the issue of kita for a while, and the quick conclusion that kita was town after kush's flip is....unsettling at best. I don't come to that conclusion, it doesn't seem YOU came to that conclusion, and it's one reason I keep asking about stuff like how kush checks / doesn't check / lies / doesn't lie with the scumometer on kita, because I'm trying to see how thrawn connects or doesn't connect the two.

I...don't fully trust that kita has a RB, or is being truthful about his role.

Given that we don't know exactly what mafia does, and we don't know what order roleblocks and things occur in, we're never going to be sure exactly what can and can't happen.

I think it comes down to either us both blocking the same target, us choosing independently in sekrit so as to keep scum from knowing what we're doing. If we're blocking different targets and that's in thread, scum can do the optimal thing for scum. So I think we either hide the info OR we publish it, but with the 2nd RB for backup.

Which is maybe true or maybe false. kush had a passive, an active, and redacted info that likely deals with conversions. We are NOT in a world where "I maybe do this thing, or maybe something that gives me similar info, or maybe something else, or maybe any combination of those things" holds water

Sorry, trying to devote a little time to the other game. Thrawn i'm around tomorrow to talk, but I don't really see a world where Poofter is mafia and you are not mafia.

You're welcome to try and convince me, and I'll actually listen, but that Kita post looks quite odd. Kita being a conversion is a point in your favor though, up until that post about Kita looking town, you were a good conversion target but not a good initial option.

Morning.

Yes thrawn, I don't like you for original scum. I like poofter LESS though, so you still get to be scummier than him. Mainly though, what I see is:

amiko posting and trying to figure the game out

thrawn posting and trying to get a lynch off himself and figure the game out (posts about poofter that are suspicious, but also finding things that possibly clear poofter. Mafia needs a mislynch, they'd prefer not to clear ANYBODY)

hopeless doing NADA except maybe trying to implicate poofter and saying he had to look into it more

poofter also doing NADA......


Also that's a solid find on thrawn wondering why no kitanuke. Based on him being a probable N1 conversion, scum likely don't want to lynch their new toy, see KUSH BEING ALL WEIRD ON KITA.

I didn't like poofter's D1, no. I liked your D1.

But poofter is not scum for me. Not D1, not N1, not D4000 (I guess barring a conversion). His posting during N1 and early D2 means that he just isn't scum. Of any kind at that point. He could have done something short of claiming scum N1, 18 times, and then made those posts, and I'd find him town. That "I was asking people about a case on me because I'm town and I think my accuser is town, and I think scum might take peculiar stances on town/town suspicions" line of thought just isn't something scum make up on the spot, 100%

You don't have anything that I feel equally strong about.

I started to paint a picture of Amy Pond destroying a cyberman, then quit. Right now I'm firmly on hopeless for scum, but interested in the promised discussion.

Or if not the promised discussion, hopeless are you just...around?

Can you just give me like....rough sketch of where everyone is? You are currently of the belief that Poofter is le mafia? Or someone but unsure?

Okay. I guess the 12 hours thing is fine, but it would be nice to have thoughts from you. We're in an odd sort of bottleneck with only a few people and a tiny town circle and ... the people that may or may not be mafia aren't really producing new information.

Which both looks bad and is just bad for thread. I know I haven't been uber productive in the last 24, but more stuff to have new thoughts on would help us ALL be active and good for town and yesyesmanywingodoctorbutonlythetowndoctornotkitaconversiondoctor

There is NO LIMIT to paranoia.

I just wrote 2/3 of a big post about you going kita town --> i dunno about kita --> thanks for nuking kita so I didn't have to have a read, as well as "hopeless for original scum, poofter for conversion, let's nuke the conversion" which is the opposite of how I've been thinking (get rid of original scum first, because we KNOW they're going to have scummy powers/be the converters).

I dunno. You're playing a pretty solid game if you're mafia. There are little things that keep bugging me, but nothing large like kush's posts, and nothing that really weaves together into a scummy tapestry.

Happy with this.

Amiko trying to figure out the game. thrawn trying to figure out the game. Both a little paranoid about me when scum likely needs a mislynch and needs maximum support, needs friends.

Amiko, when you say you weren't as townie on poof's D1 as everyone else, what do you mean?

His D1 was the one I didn't like, it was his N1/D2 that pulled me around.

That bit where I say he looked super townie on D1 is me saying thrawn's thoughts. I do that without quoting sometimes. It should basically read:

"I am interested in the poofter stuff. The poofter stuff where you, thrawn, had Poofter looking scummier than hopeless but also had poofter super townie on D1 but also wanted poofter nuked during the night (and, by the way, wanting kita not-nuked)"

It's my presentation of his stuff, not my own stuff. I ain't want no poofter nuke last night.

@Austin
Did you have any thoughts on the d1 voting pattern I mentioned above?
(Kush, Kita, and Hopeless all voted for rayn d1)
Based on kitaman's flip, he was town D1, so we'd be looking at hopeless and Kush together, with kita pushing a case he legitimately believed in.

Lemme go check timing. If kita pushes rayn first, they may just be hopping on what looks like a decent case against someone who's dangerous. Also unsure if rayn has magical kush reads or anything, I believe that he reads certain players better than others, may have been dangerous for kush if he's caught kush in the past.

I appreciate the defense and agree its original scum left most likely (again I've missed a decent chunk of the thread) if we don't have any reason to doubt Austin's status as he was a green check and amiko would have had to nuke his teammate in a situation where the next day he could win its between thrown and hopeless.

Hopefully there is just one left seems its on hopeless over thrown.


I might be around if I don't go back to sleep when meds kick in. For now I'll go with consensus but try to check in read cause this is a mega uninformed vote on potential lylo so ill do my best to be informed read the previous night

There couldn't have been 4 alive, and 2 are gone. Hopefully just the 1, or we're in big trouble. The numbers would depend on exactly what they do at night, and whether converting is something that can be RBed or not. If only Kush could convert, we should just have 1. If ALL can convert, we have 1 or 2 depending on RB.

Amiko, I got distracted by Hopeless's D2.

I don't think the votes are damning. Kush just squatted on rayn from the very start, doesn't appear to care. Hopeless doesn't vote rayn until a little ways after kita drops his biggish case post, and rayn and kita fight a bit. If you want to both vote someone, your votes are spread out, you have a hidden vote unclaimed, and hopeless gets in at a nice time ---> pick a side between rayn/kita, vote, done. He says he wasn't townie on rayn previously, but otherwise, there's nothing really about rayn's ALIGNMENT in hopeless's filter D1, so makes sense as an opportunistic vote once rayn and kita start going at it.

i AM weirded out by Hopeless's D2 mentions of Kita though. He wants to lynch kita to avenge rayn ---> doesn't like JJD's accusations against kita + thinks all rayn voters town (so had both kush town AND kita, who would now be converted we think, town) ---> durdling around with kita during kita and vivax sniping at each other ---> "Kita seems like he's working towards a town-oriented goal" (as part of a reads list)

Especially this post:

it just feels so strange to see kush this well put together. At any rate, I dont think any scum were on rayn right now.

I dont like JJD's accusations against kitaman.
"Kita knows I'm town" when kita essentially said he'd push the low tier players and gave examples of who those players would be.
"Kita retconned his case on rayn". I fundamentally disagree with this statement because Kita's case relied on the fact that he tried to get rayn to look into his meta and rayn refused to do so. It was an ongoing process that rayn never pursued him and that is what kita found scummy about rayn.

So I'd want to lynch JJD for tunneling kita while being completely sure that he's right every step of the way. He never wavers, never reconsiders.

I'd also lynch gumshoe for actively refusing to play this game. This should be self explanatory.
Just chainsaw defending kita, attacking JJD out of the blue for the kita suspicion, when Hopeless himself seems to have been fine with a kita lynch to start the day, and ends the day at "kita pursuing town-oriented goals", which isn't like...KITA IS THE TOWNIEST TOWN. It's a LOT of defense for a guy you don't seem to be super townie on.

I said some stuff after being added to the scum QT, but I guess more thoughts and discussion now.

First, thanks for hosting. I actually went and watched the recent reboot of Dr. Who after the last Dr. Who game, and it was a little more fun knowing something about the characters and whatnot. And getting to be Amy.

Second, having been on both sides of the fence, I think there needs to be SOME information about what scum is doing, or at the very least some way to stop it consistently. A slightly less-powered town and scum not having the ability to take factional actions, perhaps, or the Doctor not being in the game, and a future version of the doctor visiting on D3 or D4 with a little information on how Cybermen are upgrading folks, maybe. Without notifications OR an idea of exactly how the scum team was working, it was going to be very very difficult for town in the final couple lynches.

I don't think the game was imbalanced as set up, a lot of things just...happened. Kita saw djo N1 and then got converted immediately. I would have RBed kita, but was RBed by vivax. A split second where if we'd lynched kush and nuked kita, we MAYBE win the game at the end of D3 before I'm converted going into N3? Rayn...helping lynch himself. Just a lot of little things swung this game to being somewhat easy to close out as scum. The ONLY possible balance issue I can see is that scum get 1 KP and 1 conversion per night, which is a chunk. Town gets 2 RBs, and scum starts off with only 1 member, but that's a lot of scum firepower. I think in balancing out a weak weak start for the cybermen and a powerful town with a LOT of scum juice feels like it snowballs one side or the other, and maybe both sides being toned down would make it less swingy?

So I save austin N1 and you don't let me win. This will not be forgotten.
You had to be the shot

Just in case you roleblocked someone doing something neat, and also because why wouldn't scum shoot you when you were scummy on kush, kita was attacking you, you wanted kita nuked, kita flipped scum, and you had the JK role? There was no way not to shoot you.

Oh, who didn't request fakeclaims? I was really worried for a bit that I was the only person who wanted to have fun with that and had accidentally sicced a bunch of fanatic fakeclaim-wanters on the hosts.

WHY DID YOU GUYS NOT EACH GET LIKE 2-3 FAKECLAIMS?

Totally not bragging, but I smelled austin's conversion from miles away in obs qt.

As for hopeless it'd be nice if he could work out a way to make himself readable as town. Idk but his style keeps being unreadable to me. I guess the day I'm a mafia god is the day I can read him.
Yeah, I could not summon the oomph to keep hunting hard, because the game was essentially over. Kita kinda had to get deaded, but ... I could just roleblock someone at night, NOT use kp, start a conversion, get the roleblocked person lynched (lol no KP) --> one more NK --> conversion kicks in. Woulda been what, 1-5 at the start of D4, 1-4 at the end of D4, 2-2 at the start of D5 from the NK and the convert. So just because things felt so foolproof based on the timing of everything that happened, I had a hard time being super active and trying to hunt scum. Honestly, I probably would have done a better job if I'd not been looking at multiple people and just parked my vote on any single person.

@austinmcc: I'm glad you were in this game as a good town role model for me, even if you eventually became scum.
I'm still relatively new to forum mafia (this being my second completed game) and I feel like I picked up some good ways of thinking through players over the course of the game, even if they eventually led me wrong. Thanks for playing!
I've had...mixed success with how I play. Thanks for the compliment though. I would highly highly suggest trying to make a game fun and trying to talk to people when they're frustrated. As far as being led wrong...I wasn't joking that this game was similar to another game where I sort of became town-leadery after forcing a scum lynch through, but then just lynched the crap out of townies forever.
