GlowBear, what do you mean what you've brought from Teemu? You mean that you voted for him?

I considered you and meatpudding top town before he was shot, since you voted for Teemursu, which you wouldn't have done if you weren't scum. Haruhi and Poof voted for me, but since I think Haruhi is likely a cop, I'm more suspicious of Poof voting for me, as well as Templar. Don't know who a possible 4th mafia would be at this point, if there is one.

As far as no jailkeeper existing, I do think that there is a jailkeeper in this game. I'd expect AT LEAST 2 blue roles for 12 people. I think that's what we got, a jailer and a cop. Mafia has the roleblocker I'd guess.

What makes you so sure that hobbit did not kill mp today so that he could incriminate me further?

Hobbit had the opportunity to lynch me over Teemursu, but voted for Templar instead. Pretty sure he's not scum.

@Templar

Voted for me even though he had already said he really didn't want to kill me? And he voted Haru even though he claimed Cop? Wouldn't it have been less scumlike to vote for Teemu?

Yes, but the fact that he didn't vote me to put me over the votes for Teemursu is townie. Unless he's actually scum, then in which case he made a mistake, but I'm not banking on that, even with the craziness in voting near the end there. I still think he would have voted me over you if he were scum to get me lynched.

@GlowBear
Yeah, I see what you mean now. He never lists Templar as top town in any of his posts, usually saving that spot for Haruhi. I looked through Templar's filter too and he just about always lists Teemursu as fence. If you CTRL-F for Teemu in Templar's filter, you can see that he has some conversation with Teemursu. It never really gets very heated though, and when arguments against Teemursu are brought up, either Templar doesn't really acknowledge them or he disagrees with them, like in this argument against meatpudding here.

Haru is not really pushing town agenda. Asking vague questions, not pushing anyone in particular. Calling out when Hobbitus contradicts herself, does not seem like a good read to me.

I'm still leaning towards Teemu as scum. Teemu and Templar have played before, maybe that is why they are acting familiar, but it seems like Teemu's reads are off.

Cats is asking lots of questions, I am leaning town here.

On Templar, I think only his one long post gives much info. I think he plays town, but could be trying to give false info.

Tolkien seems noncommittal, then starts a bandwagon. Not sure here.

Hobbitus not posting much but looks like town trying to get some early reads.

That's all I have for now.

Why vote Haru out of the blue when you're so sure that Teemu is scum?

It actually turns out that his reason for leaning scummy on Teemu in this post was completely wrong with some of his other reads, as Teemu and I had never played together. He apologized later but then clarified that I was probably scum, even though his town read on me had never changed. He additionally gave a different scum read on Teemu that wasn't strong at all, and told everyone "don't vote" if they disagreed with his Haru vote. (Surely he knew that everyone is supposed to vote right?)

Just from the looks of it, Templar seems to me to be townie so far. He's been posting a lot and replying to a lot of posts directed at him. Generally, too, when I think things to myself, and other people agree with what I'm currently thinking, I place those people in my town pile. I put Templar in there for his suspicion against Teemursu, which I had as well. Though he ultimately decided to vote on Scott, which I also believe to be a justified vote thus far. Sure, I guess a mafia could have done either just as well, so I generally don't put a lot of faith into day 1 reads. Just, so far, he's most townie to me right now.

I would like him to answer one thing I saw him post that seemed a little weird to me.

@Templar, what did you mean with these sentences about Teemursu? What was the "But he thinks I'm town." clause supposed to contradict?

He said that I gave off a towny vibe, but it could have been scum trying to make me look scum. It was very early in the game to be thinking anyone was town or scum, so it was sort of weird.

I don't like how he links his mafia play filter. IMO its pretty scummy people who do it. ITs like guys this is how i play mafia, don't worry i can't possibly change my play and fool you guys. THE_Templar and one other posted their filters, which seemed pretty scummy.
I read Scott's posts and didn't really see any reason to vote on him. However its forum mafia, so voting 20 hours before deadline isn't that big of a deal as you can always switch. Don't mind him pressuring scott either.

When did I link my filter? I posted two posts from my previous game which basically said that I spent a lot of time playing mafia. Tolkien did link filters… even though you could find his last game in his post history. (In fact, I just did that.) Anyway, the game was over a year ago.

(The_Templar)

I mostly agree with this - and also since he is showing the most information in my opinion - he may be lynched by mafia - and since he may be thinking Cats -

If Cats gets lynched - Templar will go at night
If Meat get lynched - Templar may go as well

If Templar does not go at night - a slight scum read
Still suspect Templar town


Hope that helps how I feel with my townie friends!



I only have a slight scum read on Cats, which is not particularly strong at all, and I specifically said I don't have a read on meat yet in that post. I don't see why I'd be a good n1 kill in those scenarios, especially considering there are people that are also doing their best and reading just like I am.

I think you might be setting up something against me later. There will be at least 10 people alive day 2 if nobody gets modkilled, so why are you in this mindset of "The_Templar will probably either die or look scum by day 2"?

The post is a very big analysis post in general though, and you're clearly putting in effort, so:
##Unvote

Please unvote yourself and keep your head in the game. Also, I'd rather not waste a lynch when you can just ask to be replaced.

Haru called out Tolkien as being scummy and voted him. He also pushed Hobbitus earlier, so he's definitely looking for scum. Maybe not as much as you would like, but certainly more than you…

I've never played with Teemu. Wtf?

If you think my long post is the only informative post I've made, you should read my filter again. Sure, none of my other posts have thorough analysis, but a lot of my other posts explain why I'm doing what I'm doing… particularly these, and I save my analysis for the big posts.

Why exactly does Hobbitus look like town? Just because she's looking for stuff doesn't really mean anything, and all she's actually said is that Teemu and I were probably not both scum making a play so early in the game.
(This is not a jab at Hobbitus because she seems to be making a longer post right now)
Starting to look suspicious to me. I'll wait for you to redeem yourself, but I'm on the edge of voting you now.

As someone who plays with you a lot in video mafia, I feel like this is not a typical read of yours. Seems a bit forced, and I hope that it's a reaction test. If it is, I'd like you to explain what you got from it.

TheKingOfCats tries to lynch me as well, but I think he's town trying to prod me if I'm mafia.


I don't think scum align themselves so quickly. The read seems a bit weak but I don't necessarily think it comes from scum. Your read on TheKingOfCats seems to come from a towny perspective. Not sure what to think of you yet but leaning town.


Templar, my mistake. I was confusing you with something that Nydus said.

That seems like too obvious a play to me? I could see one or the other being scum but not both.


Uh, do you really think this is a play?


No, that's my point. Meatpudding is saying that's a play, but I don't think so. IF it is though, I think it'd be more likely that one is town and one is scum than both being scum.


If you don't think it's a play, do you have a specific reasoning for that? Who do you think is the town/scum?


Well like I said, it seems very obvious/early for a play? One "hey I think you're towny" post does not a scumteam make. It's more like you're sniffing out reads to me.

That being said, if it is a play I'd say you're more likely than Templar to be scum just because you do have such polarized reactions to people.


Now, you're raising flags here. I don't want to spoil your mood but once the day goes into full gear, you will only see one-sided polarised arguments filled with tunnel vision of each other. Also, by calling out the 'play', and yet saying you think it's too obvious/early for plays you're contradicting yourself.

I don't have a strong case against Haruhi. But this post seems to be contradicting what he said about not scum hunting on D1. I went with my vote for this and because besides from this he is not being too direct. I'm trying to avoid a mislynch and if you think Haru is not worthy to lynch don't vote.

On being paranoid of Teemu, he has been on my case since I introduced myself and hasn't let up one bit. He is pushing the lynch wagon hardest as well. Teemu strongest scum lean for me but I am not proposing a lynch because he posts a lot and might lead to more info and contradictions in the future.

Teemu, Templar and Haru are leaning scum for me, but sure the case is weak.

That's all for now. If I'm back before closing I can make another post.


I had more insight on this particular post here.
Additionally, Meat never really stopped pushing Teemu about his very quick and slightly questionable town read on me, instead using this as a starting point for all of his future reads on him and me (keep in mind I'm not even a big part of this), specifically the bolded part of this post:

Hello people, i have a stupid username.

I've been playing mafia on OMGUS (TL's evil twin that's locked in the basement and fed a bucket of fish heads every night) since last october. Between then and now i was somehow voted season 2 best town so if my play is terrible it's pretty much a certainty that i'm scum.


Yea your scum play is horrible, to the extent of nearly being modkilled. I hope you aren't going to afk :/

I should be more active this game because i actually know how to play town. I was quiet in my last game because i have no idea what i'm doing as scum.

How was i nearly modkilled in that game?


How DO you play town? Let's talk!

Do you read into tone perhaps? Who do you like/dislike?

There's this guy named Teemursu who's taking things really seriously at the beginning of day 1.

In all seriousness, no reads for me yet as we've just introduced each other. Meatpudding's joke seemed a bit… random, (trying to get things friendly between everyone perhaps?) but I don't think it really means anything.


Yeah, I'm probably the most serious person you'll meet on this forum.

But I'm with Templar, too early for me to get any reads.


Might've been too early, agreed. I'm probably too used to video mafia's speed. I did get a towny vibe from Templar, though, so it's not like I came out empty-handed.


To me, Teemu's willingness to make these reads based on one or two posts seems hasty and irrational. I (semi-seriously) pointed out that Teemu and Templar are likely a scum team trying to make false headway. (Hence my reading of Templar's future posts from that perspective.)

It's too early for me to have any reads. Seeing as this is Meatpudding's first game i don't think his post was alignment indicative but if he doesn't contribute anything he'll be a good lynch regardless of his alignment.

Teemu was quick to call me out though, but he backed up Templar straight away. Two scum trying to blend in with town?

TheKingOfCats tries to lynch me as well, but I think he's town trying to prod me if I'm mafia.


So I didn't specifically call you out. Apparently I got a reaction anyway, which is good, considering I just said I only pinged you out.

I don't feel like TheKingOfCats is trying to lynch you at all, and I'm not sure how I should read your defensiveness about that (new player/mafia being pushed). He did give a fence read on you though. Like, It's obvious that we should lynch people who don't contribute at all. He's someone I'm going to keep my eye on.


Teemu trying to cover his tracks? Who was the first to suggest I should be lynched? - Teemu. I think that he plays too well to make mistakes like this. The only thing that could excuse him is because I'm a new player, his reads are wrong because I'm not playing the normal way.

All I can say is that Teemursu is my only solid read for me atm (as town). While Nydus has played with him before and says this behavior is alignment-null, he's instigating the scumhunting that town sorely needs early D1. As a result, I would peg him as town (or at least, a non-viable D1 lynch).

That being said, I don't agree with any of the early lynch candidates thus far (as in, I don't have a strong enough read on any of them currently), and would rather lynch a lurker at this point in time. That includes scott, because his post was pretty much a non-response.


Of Cats or meatpudding, if I had to choose a D1 lynch atm, I'd vote meatpudding solely based on thread contribution.


-Teemu agrees with me and "thinks I'm town", which I always appreciate, but he "thinks I'm town". He could be a town, or a mafia trying to make both of us or just me look mafia. Again, completely ambiguous and I'm not sure.

My general impression of mafia players in my limited experience is that they work to distance themselves as much as possible. I personally do not read too much into it atm; without a flip it's speculation.

Personally, I don't know about Teemu, partly because I don't know about video mafia. I'm going to research this further. Scum-hunting isn't essential on day 1; I think it's more of a developing point in the game but that's just my two cents.

I don't like Scott's posts very much.


It's where I am the strongest in my town play.

Anyway, Cats is finally asking some better questions, so I am moving my focus on ## VOTE Meatpudding

I'm not sure about the Scott bandwagon, but pressuring him is not a bad idea.


Teemu would have us believe that his D1 scum reads are infallible. So far he has only made one strong call to mafia (guess who) which seems suspicious to me. He has basically stopped pressuring now that he has made up his mind, and that I have helped convince half of town that I may be scum anyway. Easy lynch for Teemu.

Meatpudding, I don't even know who Templar is..?

I get a lot of reads based on people's interaction with me (how they accuse me, etc), and so far yours has been very poor. You keep throwing scum at me without giving any explanation or backing up. Which of my reads have been off and how? Do you disagree with some or do you disagree with my reasons for my reads?

Honestly, I'm only trying to give you a chance to project town here by talking about reads, but you keep failing at it, which is making you my top scum read.

Speaking of throwing scum, people have been throwing scum at Scott, and I really wish he didn't become unmotivated as town because mafia pushed on him. >_>



Not the strongest case, all things considered.

The underlined part is very questionable. Teemu specifically said IF, IF you didn't contribute, you would be a good lynch, and then you reacted, which meant you were likely to contribute. I see no inconsistency with those two posts of Teemu's, yet you point out that he's too good to make mistakes. And then you say that we can't trust his scum reads? Really now?

After saying he's wants to analyze me and Cats (which he hasn't done yet…), he feels rushed since there's 30 minutes left (he just wrong a long analysis post on Teemu, which was unrelated to the current lynch) and that he doesn't have a read on MM (which he uses to vote on him anyway…), he posts this:

Yea your scum play is horrible, to the extent of nearly being modkilled. I hope you aren't going to afk :/

I should be more active this game because i actually know how to play town. I was quiet in my last game because i have no idea what i'm doing as scum.

How was i nearly modkilled in that game?


How DO you play town? Let's talk!

Do you read into tone perhaps? Who do you like/dislike?

There's this guy named Teemursu who's taking things really seriously at the beginning of day 1.

In all seriousness, no reads for me yet as we've just introduced each other. Meatpudding's joke seemed a bit… random, (trying to get things friendly between everyone perhaps?) but I don't think it really means anything.


Yeah, I'm probably the most serious person you'll meet on this forum.

I actually kinda like this read. Feels like it's coming from a towny perspective. We -are- all new here and some are playing for the first time, and your read has that ring to it.

Might've been too early, agreed. I'm probably too used to video mafia's speed. I did get a towny vibe from Templar, though, so it's not like I came out empty-handed.


To me, Teemu's willingness to make these reads based on one or two posts seems hasty and irrational. I (semi-seriously) pointed out that Teemu and Templar are likely a scum team trying to make false headway. (Hence my reading of Templar's future posts from that perspective.)

It's too early for me to have any reads. Seeing as this is Meatpudding's first game i don't think his post was alignment indicative but if he doesn't contribute anything he'll be a good lynch regardless of his alignment.

Cool, but can you please offer your insight on you vs MM? Teemu isn't quite relevant right now I think.


Yes, I know. I also want to write up my thoughts on you and Cats. I'm keeping up with the thread but I don't have a read on MM. Other than what Tolkien said about lurkers being scum, I don't know. I have the net 30mins free but only so much I can type. I'm basically voting to save myself and help town.

Do you not even have an opinion on my case against MM?


I kind of skimmed it. Seems like your case was just based around how he claimed to have read you? He seems to have drawn conclusions without much interaction. I certainly don't get what Tolkien and MM have to do with one another, and Tolkien is taking steps as far away from him as possible.

Anyway I can't follow MM's process at all. I'm not sure, but I hope you guys know what you're doing.

##Vote: MysteryMeat1

You're rushed, so you spend 20 minutes to skim one case and then blindly vote with the rest of the people on MM despite not being "sure". Definitely not what I would do with a crucial 20 minutes if I was a secondary lynch target.

He has basically stopped pressuring now that he has made up his mind, and that I have helped convince half of town that I may be scum anyway. Easy lynch for Teemu.

I get a lot of reads based on people's interaction with me (how they accuse me, etc), and so far yours has been very poor. You keep throwing scum at me without giving any explanation or backing up. Which of my reads have been off and how? Do you disagree with some or do you disagree with my reasons for my reads?

Honestly, I'm only trying to give you a chance to project town here by talking about reads, but you keep failing at it, which is making you my top scum read.

Speaking of throwing scum, people have been throwing scum at Scott, and I really wish he didn't become unmotivated as town because mafia pushed on him. >_>



Not the strongest case, all things considered.

Cool, but can you please offer your insight on you vs MM? Teemu isn't quite relevant right now I think.


Yes, I know. I also want to write up my thoughts on you and Cats. I'm keeping up with the thread but I don't have a read on MM. Other than what Tolkien said about lurkers being scum, I don't know. I have the net 30mins free but only so much I can type. I'm basically voting to save myself and help town.

Since you didn't do anything about you and MM, can I see these thoughts or are you going to do nothing this night?


I was going through KotC's posts when the lynch was taking place. I kind of couldn't make up my mind, even after MM flipped.

I was not happy to vote for MM, because the case against him didn't convince me completely. His own reactions caused a lot of suspicion though. I can't call Cats or Tolkien scum based on that alone.

Right now my thoughts are
Teemu - potential scum
Tolkien - potential scum
Cats - fence
Templar - town

And presto! I have magically turned back into a town read! He practically alternates calling me scummish and townish, while otherwise practically ignoring me in his analysis posts.




Tolkien:
First, read this post for my initial feelings about tolkien.

Now that you've ignored/pretended to read all of that, here's the next post he made:

Or teemu could just post some more.

Alright, reviewing it from the top, I really just don't feel he's been forward with his opinions in the second half. The majority of his posts have been pressing questions and opinions from people, which is fine, but he hasn't done much after that.

Some explanation for some of the reads would be greatly appreciated. Specifically jabber.





Also, quick response to Glowbear:
I think he has no grounds on Scott and his "lynch all lurkers" policy worries me. As one of the guides said, it's a common blue strategy to lurk. But that's not the main point.
The main point is: if you are Mafia and you have Mafia partners lurking, would you risk forcing this "lynch all lurkers" policy? I don't think so. Now, if you are Mafia and all your partners are on the game, what would you do? Force the policy so you could lynch a blue, as lurking is a common blue strategy.
Moreover, if you are convincend I am town, this means that lurkers definetely weren't all Mafia, which would mean that Mafia strategy of lynching lurkers is a huge possibility.
Again, saying "As for the possibility of hitting a lurking blue role or whatever, it is a risk" worries me the most. Would you take the risk to take a cop out of the game instead of trying to identify active scum?

Because of these, I have a strong scumread on Tolkien He is still forcing this policy by now.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/301748-a-general-guide-to-mafia

When you find out that you have a blue role, the general knee-jerk reaction is that you are too important to the town to risk being lynched or shot by the mafia. This can cause people with blue roles to lurk and exhibit posts that suggest “fear”. However, a good player with a blue role will appear exactly like he is a townie, though this is not easy to do. When you have a blue role, you should be posting as if you are a townie. The only difference is that you are more well-informed than other townies. Use that knowledge to aid the town without letting a feeling of your importance as a blue role alter your posting habits.

If you are lurking as a blue, YOU'RE NOT PLAYING WELL. All you're doing is drawing attention to yourself by conspicuously not posting anything. There is no tangible benefit to lurking for town, as we can't figure out alignment and shit. PLAYING BLUE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR PLAYING BAD. So if I have to light a fire under your arses, fine. For D1, this is a perfectly sound policy.

Anything regarding my push onto Scott is well-tread ground, so unless you have anything new to ask or to add, that's a beaten horse.


It's a difficult vote for me right now. Until I get an acceptable defense that isn't an OMGUS, meatpudding is a pretty scummy candidate no matter my potential misgivings of Teemu. The only other option for me I is jabberwocky given the aforementioned discrepancies in his filter and shifting opinions. I want an explanation for it, but it's far less egregious than meatpudding's posts. Which are basically just OMGUS, and pretty useless from a town standpoint. A vote on meatpudding would additionally clear up my muddled picture of Teemu, and a few others, who are currently on him, based on his flip.

But it also feels bluntly plausible that' he's just a poor newbie who's struggling to learn the game, since he's pretty blatantly OMGUSing here. But then again he'll be useless in that case so...




Well, actually I really like Cats' recent posts and I agree with him on MysteryMeat's apparent discrepancy about our lynching policy towards non-contribution and lurkers. I'd like him to respond to it, because it's a pretty glaring difference when I was way more over the top with my stance on the issue. Probably a D2 case to bring up overall, but I actually VERY much like the case Cats brought up.

I also didn't notice that we both proposed the same policy, him bringing it up first. Outside of the apparent frenzy over his introduction, he's leaning town to me now.

Noticeably:
King of the cats:
I honestly really don't like him, seems super scummy, in one of his arguments on lynching, he mentions that he doesn't care about alignment. If you can push a mislynch day1, then you can kill a stronger player in the night. Top scum at the moment.

tolkien: The only thing i didn't like was that he said he didn't like cats or meatpudding, and i felt like his post read that he didn't like cats more, but then he votes on meatpudding, Find it a little weird, but nothing other than that.


Ok you know what, fuck it.

It is a VERY glaring inconsistency for MysteryMeat1 to condemn Cats for the possibility of a mislynch and not my push. The post is too reminiscent of my experience with N1k0 in my first TL mafia game. As much as I hate it since I really do want to lynch meatpudding for being a useless fucker, but...

##Vote MysteryMeat1

It's a tough choice, honestly. Moderately strong scum read vs. scummy read/pretty useless contributor. But this is what my gut says.

Also, glumly awaiting modkills on the 2 inactives (or a swap; 2 modkills is fucking brutal).

Besides being TotalBiscuit (read the paragraph about lurking as blue and the one after that in TB's voice), he does the following:

-Telling blues to post more. I don't think this ended up doing anything helpful, but he did state pretty clearly that his policy was to lynch the most unhelpful people and that blues should make sure they're as helpful as they need to be, so this isn't particularly bad.
-Says meatpudding is pretty scummy, and if he isn't, he's not useful.
-Said "fuck it" and voted MysteryMeat because of a very glaring inconsistency in his posting (Personally, my reason was much different and more difficult for me, although he had difficulty with it too). He should go after meatpudding tomorrow, anything else at this point would definitely be super bizarre considering meatpudding hasn't done much.

He then argues with MysteryMeat, which convinced him further due to nearly random posts at that point.
And then, when Meatpudding suddenly disappears, he tries to have his pudding and eat it. A bit greedy… at this point my town read started to weaken due to how aggressively he'd been trying to get them both lynched, considering they are both suspicious to quite a lot of us at this point.

His next post, however, lines up with the "be active, don't talk about being blue, just be town if you're blue" core of his game plan.

To fully elaborate on the reasons I pushed it:

In his initial reads list, he said this:
King of the cats:
I honestly really don't like him, seems super scummy, in one of his arguments on lynching, he mentions that he doesn't care about alignment. If you can push a mislynch day1, then you can kill a stronger player in the night. Top scum at the moment.


But later, when pressed on me by Haru, said:
tolkien: The only thing i didn't like was that he said he didn't like cats or meatpudding, and i felt like his post read that he didn't like cats more, but then he votes on meatpudding, Find it a little weird, but nothing other than that.


At this time, I had already made my case on Scott at least 12 hours ago I think.


KotC points it out, and I agreed with him wholeheartedly. He finds KotCs his top scum for being fine with a lynch of a non-contributor yet said he didn't have any feelings about me, when I start a lynch of an effective non-contributor (and push for a lurker lynch policy), and stated that a mislynch is an acceptable risk in D1 without a strong scum read. When I actually noticed KotCs state this, it seemed eminently impossible to me that he would be able to hone in on KotCs for that policy and make him his top scum choice, while completely ignoring me, as I was far louder telegraphing my intentions about it in the thread than KotC did. I, and apparently others, didn't notice KotC make that statement either.

I felt at the time that this was far to glaring to ignore, given there were votes onto KotC and he was under suspicion and, at the time, everyone had read me as on the fence. I considered it a very plausible motive, and a clear explanation for why he didn't vote for me (he was scum hoping to blend in). At the time, my only other major scumread was meatpudding, and I had a stronger read on MM1. It was, as I noted, a very tough choice and I wondered if MM1 could've been a better D2 case.

I stopped pushing after I made my initial case to support KotC after I pushed this theory and case, since I didn't want to tunnel it completely onto him, as meatpudding was also an acceptable lynch and I REALLY wanted to hear from both of them. I made some unnecessary cutting remarks, but really from that point on, he hung himself with his own posts, and it was Cats and everyone else who did most of the pushing.

There's quite frankly not much else I can say when he posts really confusing shit like me and him having a potential relationship; as I stated, wat is the relevance to anything if you're speculating about a potential relationship on D1 about a period of time between when you made your first reads list and when I pushed the case on you. I think we spent at least a good 30 minutes trying to figure that out, which unfortunately detracted from his defense to the point where enough people decided his flailing was too confusing as I did.

I was fairly certain he was scum up until the flip, but by that point, I was fine with him dying even if he was town because I couldn't understand his arguments by that point. <_<;

In hindsight, he likely simply didn't read the thread where I started the wagon on Scott well enough and pushed onto KotC with the most concrete piece of "evidence" he could've. But again, I stand by my reasons for voting MM1 at the time.



As for a pre-emptive defense of myself, where do I make such posts? I don't recall making such posts at all D1, but I might've done so. It was an exhausting 1/2 of the day for me. Partially why I stopped seriously pushing the case on MM1.

I'll be quite honest, I would rather have heard from you, Teemu, before the flip. Accusations are easy now after flips have been made, so I would've much rather have heard from you while the case is in-progress; it would be much more enlightening to your motives and your opinions. Grilling me is a natural position after I had such a heavy hand in the MM1 lynch, so I really can't read anything off this. But time constraints and timezones, I understand.


On June 23 2014 19:50 Teemursu wrote:
This reason keeps coming up again and again when Tolkien and Cats both defend their case/accuse MM1.

To put it simply, why focus on it so hard? Since MM1 flipped green, it almost sounds like they had to pre-emptively defend their case on something they knew would be a mislynch.

Did MM1 actually not push on Tolkien at all? I'm still not sure how much things would be different, if he had.


My overall read is that he it's scummy to accuse/vote him while everyone else is on the fence with him or leaning scum. The way and the amount of "WHY ME?! AND NOT TOLKIEN" I read from this makes me lean way scummier on him. It understand KotC and both Tolkien had this as one of their reasons to literally bury MM1. At this point I didn't really see as to why it would be so weird to push on KotC instead of Tolkien from MM1's perspective, since both are basically as valid for pushing to either get reads or try to lynch scum. If anyone can help me correct myself with a potential misread, please do!

The initial reads list, he didn't at all after he decided to decry KotCs for being top scum for an lynch-of-non-contributors policy, when he says absolutely nothing about me, except something confusing about me thinking Cats was scummier than meatpudding and that's it. He decided he was NEUTRAL on me, which made no sense given the context of his vote. In hindsight it was just a major glaring error on his part, but the major lapse of consistency made me eminently suspicious at the time. Think about it yourself. If you had read his initial reads (+ what Haru pushed for) at the time, what would you have thought?

I want you to stop flip-flopping on MeatPudding. This isn't updating your own reads, as Nydus said. It sounds more like being unsettled to call your scum partner one way or the other.

You say he's fine, and you coach him on how to play better as town. But just in case he's scum, you tell him to die.

I'm saying you're not fine, and that you need to dig yourself out from the hole you've jumped in to by making this case on MM1 on weak basis. By making the case based on him having discrepancy in analysis and not making much sense, while these are the exact same things MeatPudding should be accused of, and you still think he is "fine".

You most certainly are scum, and you need to die.

I was referring to MM1, not meatpudding (and IF he's bad town, parts of it still do).

I should've quoted the post I was referring to, but I was tired, but here's the context post I was responding to.

My stance on meatpudding didn't change throughout the entirety of D1: he would've been an acceptable lynch for me as well, I just felt I had a stronger read on MM1. I would've preferred it if they both died, and have/had nothing against lynching him.



And as you mentioned Haru, the cases on both of them were certainly very similar (why I spent so much time debating which one to move my vote to after pressuring Scott [who now appears to be AWOL]), I simply felt that MM1 was more likely scum.


Ill answer any questions as I see them from now until the end of night.

If Templar was just, by random chance, helping out Teemursu in arguments and null-reading him the whole game without knowing he was a mafia, then that's quite unfortunate, but I'm keeping my vote on him.

No, its not possible. When you're tunnelled onto someone, you outright ignore all possibilities except those that confirm your target as scum. There is nothing that can be done to shake the tunneller off you. -> experience from being tunnelled and tunnelling someone before
I can guarantee you 100% that any cases I put up will be used by you against me and it just deepen your tunnel. I already gave up trying to make you get off me. Now its up to you to see what's really happening in this game. Even if I am scum in your eyes, I am definitely not the only scum in the game.
I also gave up on trying to convince you because I don't want to quit this game yet. Although none of my cases were taken seriously (my long and well thought out read/case on you were dismissed by everyone with one simple sentence: 'nah he can't be scum because I still townread him'. I don't know if you ever had this before, but it is immensely frustrating. Coupled with you tunnel on me, I have the urge to just disappear and afk from this game, like what poofter and mtam are doing , while getting a free 'town' card for doing nothing. Why did I bother being serious in this game anyway? Yea, its my first blue role game in tl mafia so I felt an extra need to help propel town to find scum. That was what I was doing d1/d2, invoking discussions.
Also, I felt a need to make sure everyone concentrated on this important game of mine. Thats why I wws so fking pissed with mtam for trolling on his entrance. That's why I'm so pissed at you, hobbitus for tunnelling on me when everyone else just afk and comes back 1 hour before the deadline and disappear. That's why I'm pissed that scum is just making your tunnel on me worse by making every single thing you said about me come true. (Mp death = haru scum -> mp really dies) I'm nearly done with this game, but not quite. At least glowingbear and epishade are thinking right now. If thry aren't giving up, I don't want to.
If youre town, hobbitus, get the fuck off me now. Or else you'll regret tunnelling on a town like how rainbows tunnelled on me, got me lynched, and was depressed that I flipped town.

I wouldn't know that feeling...

Epi, I don't remember if you said before, but why do you think templar is scum?

I think he's more scum than anybody who was posting at eod, particularly the people who could have voted for me and didn't. That leaves only Poof, Haruhi, and Templar who voted for me, but since I believe Haruhi's cop claim for now, she's not my concern. That narrows it down to Poof and Templar right now.

Also, I posted my thoughts about Templar and how he interacted with Teemursu a bit.

Yes, but the fact that he didn't vote me to put me over the votes for Teemursu is townie. Unless he's actually scum, then in which case he made a mistake, but I'm not banking on that, even with the craziness in voting near the end there. I still think he would have voted me over you if he were scum to get me lynched.

@GlowBear
Yeah, I see what you mean now. He never lists Templar as top town in any of his posts, usually saving that spot for Haruhi. I looked through Templar's filter too and he just about always lists Teemursu as fence. If you CTRL-F for Teemu in Templar's filter, you can see that he has some conversation with Teemursu. It never really gets very heated though, and when arguments against Teemursu are brought up, either Templar doesn't really acknowledge them or he disagrees with them, like in this argument against meatpudding here.

Haru is not really pushing town agenda. Asking vague questions, not pushing anyone in particular. Calling out when Hobbitus contradicts herself, does not seem like a good read to me.

I'm still leaning towards Teemu as scum. Teemu and Templar have played before, maybe that is why they are acting familiar, but it seems like Teemu's reads are off.

Cats is asking lots of questions, I am leaning town here.

On Templar, I think only his one long post gives much info. I think he plays town, but could be trying to give false info.

Tolkien seems noncommittal, then starts a bandwagon. Not sure here.

Hobbitus not posting much but looks like town trying to get some early reads.

That's all I have for now.

Why vote Haru out of the blue when you're so sure that Teemu is scum?

It actually turns out that his reason for leaning scummy on Teemu in this post was completely wrong with some of his other reads, as Teemu and I had never played together. He apologized later but then clarified that I was probably scum, even though his town read on me had never changed. He additionally gave a different scum read on Teemu that wasn't strong at all, and told everyone "don't vote" if they disagreed with his Haru vote. (Surely he knew that everyone is supposed to vote right?)

I read Scott's posts and didn't really see any reason to vote on him. However its forum mafia, so voting 20 hours before deadline isn't that big of a deal as you can always switch. Don't mind him pressuring scott either.

When did I link my filter? I posted two posts from my previous game which basically said that I spent a lot of time playing mafia. Tolkien did link filters… even though you could find his last game in his post history. (In fact, I just did that.) Anyway, the game was over a year ago.

I only have a slight scum read on Cats, which is not particularly strong at all, and I specifically said I don't have a read on meat yet in that post. I don't see why I'd be a good n1 kill in those scenarios, especially considering there are people that are also doing their best and reading just like I am.

Please unvote yourself and keep your head in the game. Also, I'd rather not waste a lynch when you can just ask to be replaced.

Not very sure how to vote. I could read players that are defensive as scum.

##Vote: HaruRH

Haru is not really pushing town agenda. Asking vague questions, not pushing anyone in particular. Calling out when Hobbitus contradicts herself, does not seem like a good read to me.

I'm still leaning towards Teemu as scum. Teemu and Templar have played before, maybe that is why they are acting familiar, but it seems like Teemu's reads are off.

Cats is asking lots of questions, I am leaning town here.

On Templar, I think only his one long post gives much info. I think he plays town, but could be trying to give false info.

Tolkien seems noncommittal, then starts a bandwagon. Not sure here.

Hobbitus not posting much but looks like town trying to get some early reads.

That's all I have for now.

Haru called out Tolkien as being scummy and voted him. He also pushed Hobbitus earlier, so he's definitely looking for scum. Maybe not as much as you would like, but certainly more than you…

I've never played with Teemu. Wtf?

If you think my long post is the only informative post I've made, you should read my filter again. Sure, none of my other posts have thorough analysis, but a lot of my other posts explain why I'm doing what I'm doing… particularly these, and I save my analysis for the big posts.

Why exactly does Hobbitus look like town? Just because she's looking for stuff doesn't really mean anything, and all she's actually said is that Teemu and I were probably not both scum making a play so early in the game.
(This is not a jab at Hobbitus because she seems to be making a longer post right now)
Starting to look suspicious to me. I'll wait for you to redeem yourself, but I'm on the edge of voting you now.

As someone who plays with you a lot in video mafia, I feel like this is not a typical read of yours. Seems a bit forced, and I hope that it's a reaction test. If it is, I'd like you to explain what you got from it.

TheKingOfCats tries to lynch me as well, but I think he's town trying to prod me if I'm mafia.


I don't think scum align themselves so quickly. The read seems a bit weak but I don't necessarily think it comes from scum. Your read on TheKingOfCats seems to come from a towny perspective. Not sure what to think of you yet but leaning town.


Templar, my mistake. I was confusing you with something that Nydus said.

That seems like too obvious a play to me? I could see one or the other being scum but not both.


Uh, do you really think this is a play?


No, that's my point. Meatpudding is saying that's a play, but I don't think so. IF it is though, I think it'd be more likely that one is town and one is scum than both being scum.


If you don't think it's a play, do you have a specific reasoning for that? Who do you think is the town/scum?


Well like I said, it seems very obvious/early for a play? One "hey I think you're towny" post does not a scumteam make. It's more like you're sniffing out reads to me.

That being said, if it is a play I'd say you're more likely than Templar to be scum just because you do have such polarized reactions to people.


Now, you're raising flags here. I don't want to spoil your mood but once the day goes into full gear, you will only see one-sided polarised arguments filled with tunnel vision of each other. Also, by calling out the 'play', and yet saying you think it's too obvious/early for plays you're contradicting yourself.

I don't have a strong case against Haruhi. But this post seems to be contradicting what he said about not scum hunting on D1. I went with my vote for this and because besides from this he is not being too direct. I'm trying to avoid a mislynch and if you think Haru is not worthy to lynch don't vote.

On being paranoid of Teemu, he has been on my case since I introduced myself and hasn't let up one bit. He is pushing the lynch wagon hardest as well. Teemu strongest scum lean for me but I am not proposing a lynch because he posts a lot and might lead to more info and contradictions in the future.

Teemu, Templar and Haru are leaning scum for me, but sure the case is weak.

That's all for now. If I'm back before closing I can make another post.


I had more insight on this particular post here.
Additionally, Meat never really stopped pushing Teemu about his very quick and slightly questionable town read on me, instead using this as a starting point for all of his future reads on him and me (keep in mind I'm not even a big part of this), specifically the bolded part of this post:

Yea your scum play is horrible, to the extent of nearly being modkilled. I hope you aren't going to afk :/

I should be more active this game because i actually know how to play town. I was quiet in my last game because i have no idea what i'm doing as scum.

How was i nearly modkilled in that game?


How DO you play town? Let's talk!

Do you read into tone perhaps? Who do you like/dislike?

There's this guy named Teemursu who's taking things really seriously at the beginning of day 1.

In all seriousness, no reads for me yet as we've just introduced each other. Meatpudding's joke seemed a bit… random, (trying to get things friendly between everyone perhaps?) but I don't think it really means anything.


Yeah, I'm probably the most serious person you'll meet on this forum.

But I'm with Templar, too early for me to get any reads.


Might've been too early, agreed. I'm probably too used to video mafia's speed. I did get a towny vibe from Templar, though, so it's not like I came out empty-handed.


To me, Teemu's willingness to make these reads based on one or two posts seems hasty and irrational. I (semi-seriously) pointed out that Teemu and Templar are likely a scum team trying to make false headway. (Hence my reading of Templar's future posts from that perspective.)

It's too early for me to have any reads. Seeing as this is Meatpudding's first game i don't think his post was alignment indicative but if he doesn't contribute anything he'll be a good lynch regardless of his alignment.

So I didn't specifically call you out. Apparently I got a reaction anyway, which is good, considering I just said I only pinged you out.

I don't feel like TheKingOfCats is trying to lynch you at all, and I'm not sure how I should read your defensiveness about that (new player/mafia being pushed). He did give a fence read on you though. Like, It's obvious that we should lynch people who don't contribute at all. He's someone I'm going to keep my eye on.


Teemu trying to cover his tracks? Who was the first to suggest I should be lynched? - Teemu. I think that he plays too well to make mistakes like this. The only thing that could excuse him is because I'm a new player, his reads are wrong because I'm not playing the normal way.

There really isn't much to say right now.

All I can say is that Teemursu is my only solid read for me atm (as town). While Nydus has played with him before and says this behavior is alignment-null, he's instigating the scumhunting that town sorely needs early D1. As a result, I would peg him as town (or at least, a non-viable D1 lynch).

That being said, I don't agree with any of the early lynch candidates thus far (as in, I don't have a strong enough read on any of them currently), and would rather lynch a lurker at this point in time. That includes scott, because his post was pretty much a non-response.


Of Cats or meatpudding, if I had to choose a D1 lynch atm, I'd vote meatpudding solely based on thread contribution.


-Teemu agrees with me and "thinks I'm town", which I always appreciate, but he "thinks I'm town". He could be a town, or a mafia trying to make both of us or just me look mafia. Again, completely ambiguous and I'm not sure.

My general impression of mafia players in my limited experience is that they work to distance themselves as much as possible. I personally do not read too much into it atm; without a flip it's speculation.

Personally, I don't know about Teemu, partly because I don't know about video mafia. I'm going to research this further. Scum-hunting isn't essential on day 1; I think it's more of a developing point in the game but that's just my two cents.

I don't like Scott's posts very much.


It's where I am the strongest in my town play.

Anyway, Cats is finally asking some better questions, so I am moving my focus on ## VOTE Meatpudding

I'm not sure about the Scott bandwagon, but pressuring him is not a bad idea.


Teemu would have us believe that his D1 scum reads are infallible. So far he has only made one strong call to mafia (guess who) which seems suspicious to me. He has basically stopped pressuring now that he has made up his mind, and that I have helped convince half of town that I may be scum anyway. Easy lynch for Teemu.

Meatpudding, I don't even know who Templar is..?

I get a lot of reads based on people's interaction with me (how they accuse me, etc), and so far yours has been very poor. You keep throwing scum at me without giving any explanation or backing up. Which of my reads have been off and how? Do you disagree with some or do you disagree with my reasons for my reads?

Honestly, I'm only trying to give you a chance to project town here by talking about reads, but you keep failing at it, which is making you my top scum read.

Speaking of throwing scum, people have been throwing scum at Scott, and I really wish he didn't become unmotivated as town because mafia pushed on him. >_>



Not the strongest case, all things considered.

The underlined part is very questionable. Teemu specifically said IF, IF you didn't contribute, you would be a good lynch, and then you reacted, which meant you were likely to contribute. I see no inconsistency with those two posts of Teemu's, yet you point out that he's too good to make mistakes. And then you say that we can't trust his scum reads? Really now?

After saying he's wants to analyze me and Cats (which he hasn't done yet…), he feels rushed since there's 30 minutes left (he just wrong a long analysis post on Teemu, which was unrelated to the current lynch) and that he doesn't have a read on MM (which he uses to vote on him anyway…), he posts this:

Since you're wondering, it was a direct response to this post. I usually browse custom maps but don't often post there.

What was a direct response to that post?


This post was a response to Templar:

On June 21 2014 21:56 meatpudding wrote:
Yeah I don't post that much. I lurk more than I post. Maybe I should be called The_Lurker.


But I was just describing my general forum attitude. Since I signed up to play I intend to contribute of course.

Teemu was quick to call me out though, but he backed up Templar straight away. Two scum trying to blend in with town?

TheKingOfCats tries to lynch me as well, but I think he's town trying to prod me if I'm mafia.


So I didn't specifically call you out. Apparently I got a reaction anyway, which is good, considering I just said I only pinged you out.

I don't feel like TheKingOfCats is trying to lynch you at all, and I'm not sure how I should read your defensiveness about that (new player/mafia being pushed). He did give a fence read on you though. Like, It's obvious that we should lynch people who don't contribute at all. He's someone I'm going to keep my eye on.


Teemu trying to cover his tracks? Who was the first to suggest I should be lynched? - Teemu. I think that he plays too well to make mistakes like this. The only thing that could excuse him is because I'm a new player, his reads are wrong because I'm not playing the normal way.

My name (Teemu) comes from my mum & dad.

All I can say is that Teemursu is my only solid read for me atm (as town). While Nydus has played with him before and says this behavior is alignment-null, he's instigating the scumhunting that town sorely needs early D1. As a result, I would peg him as town (or at least, a non-viable D1 lynch).

That being said, I don't agree with any of the early lynch candidates thus far (as in, I don't have a strong enough read on any of them currently), and would rather lynch a lurker at this point in time. That includes scott, because his post was pretty much a non-response.


Of Cats or meatpudding, if I had to choose a D1 lynch atm, I'd vote meatpudding solely based on thread contribution.


-Teemu agrees with me and "thinks I'm town", which I always appreciate, but he "thinks I'm town". He could be a town, or a mafia trying to make both of us or just me look mafia. Again, completely ambiguous and I'm not sure.

My general impression of mafia players in my limited experience is that they work to distance themselves as much as possible. I personally do not read too much into it atm; without a flip it's speculation.

Personally, I don't know about Teemu, partly because I don't know about video mafia. I'm going to research this further. Scum-hunting isn't essential on day 1; I think it's more of a developing point in the game but that's just my two cents.

I don't like Scott's posts very much.


It's where I am the strongest in my town play.

Anyway, Cats is finally asking some better questions, so I am moving my focus on ## VOTE Meatpudding

I'm not sure about the Scott bandwagon, but pressuring him is not a bad idea.


Teemu would have us believe that his D1 scum reads are infallible. So far he has only made one strong call to mafia (guess who) which seems suspicious to me. He has basically stopped pressuring now that he has made up his mind, and that I have helped convince half of town that I may be scum anyway. Easy lynch for Teemu.

I get a lot of reads based on people's interaction with me (how they accuse me, etc), and so far yours has been very poor. You keep throwing scum at me without giving any explanation or backing up. Which of my reads have been off and how? Do you disagree with some or do you disagree with my reasons for my reads?

Honestly, I'm only trying to give you a chance to project town here by talking about reads, but you keep failing at it, which is making you my top scum read.

Speaking of throwing scum, people have been throwing scum at Scott, and I really wish he didn't become unmotivated as town because mafia pushed on him. >_>



Not the strongest case, all things considered.

Cool, but can you please offer your insight on you vs MM? Teemu isn't quite relevant right now I think.


Yes, I know. I also want to write up my thoughts on you and Cats. I'm keeping up with the thread but I don't have a read on MM. Other than what Tolkien said about lurkers being scum, I don't know. I have the net 30mins free but only so much I can type. I'm basically voting to save myself and help town.

Do you not even have an opinion on my case against MM?


I kind of skimmed it. Seems like your case was just based around how he claimed to have read you? He seems to have drawn conclusions without much interaction. I certainly don't get what Tolkien and MM have to do with one another, and Tolkien is taking steps as far away from him as possible.

Anyway I can't follow MM's process at all. I'm not sure, but I hope you guys know what you're doing.

##Vote: MysteryMeat1

You're rushed, so you spend 20 minutes to skim one case and then blindly vote with the rest of the people on MM despite not being "sure". Definitely not what I would do with a crucial 20 minutes if I was a secondary lynch target.

Yea your scum play is horrible, to the extent of nearly being modkilled. I hope you aren't going to afk :/

I should be more active this game because i actually know how to play town. I was quiet in my last game because i have no idea what i'm doing as scum.

How was i nearly modkilled in that game?


How DO you play town? Let's talk!

Do you read into tone perhaps? Who do you like/dislike?

There's this guy named Teemursu who's taking things really seriously at the beginning of day 1.

In all seriousness, no reads for me yet as we've just introduced each other. Meatpudding's joke seemed a bit… random, (trying to get things friendly between everyone perhaps?) but I don't think it really means anything.


Yeah, I'm probably the most serious person you'll meet on this forum.

I actually kinda like this read. Feels like it's coming from a towny perspective. We -are- all new here and some are playing for the first time, and your read has that ring to it.

But I'm with Templar, too early for me to get any reads.


Might've been too early, agreed. I'm probably too used to video mafia's speed. I did get a towny vibe from Templar, though, so it's not like I came out empty-handed.


To me, Teemu's willingness to make these reads based on one or two posts seems hasty and irrational. I (semi-seriously) pointed out that Teemu and Templar are likely a scum team trying to make false headway. (Hence my reading of Templar's future posts from that perspective.)

It's too early for me to have any reads. Seeing as this is Meatpudding's first game i don't think his post was alignment indicative but if he doesn't contribute anything he'll be a good lynch regardless of his alignment.

I was going through KotC's posts when the lynch was taking place. I kind of couldn't make up my mind, even after MM flipped.

I was not happy to vote for MM, because the case against him didn't convince me completely. His own reactions caused a lot of suspicion though. I can't call Cats or Tolkien scum based on that alone.

Right now my thoughts are
Teemu - potential scum
Tolkien - potential scum
Cats - fence
Templar - town

And presto! I have magically turned back into a town read! He practically alternates calling me scummish and townish, while otherwise practically ignoring me in his analysis posts.




Tolkien:
First, read this post for my initial feelings about tolkien.

Now that you've ignored/pretended to read all of that, here's the next post he made:

Some explanation for some of the reads would be greatly appreciated. Specifically jabber.





Also, quick response to Glowbear:
I think he has no grounds on Scott and his "lynch all lurkers" policy worries me. As one of the guides said, it's a common blue strategy to lurk. But that's not the main point.
The main point is: if you are Mafia and you have Mafia partners lurking, would you risk forcing this "lynch all lurkers" policy? I don't think so. Now, if you are Mafia and all your partners are on the game, what would you do? Force the policy so you could lynch a blue, as lurking is a common blue strategy.
Moreover, if you are convincend I am town, this means that lurkers definetely weren't all Mafia, which would mean that Mafia strategy of lynching lurkers is a huge possibility.
Again, saying "As for the possibility of hitting a lurking blue role or whatever, it is a risk" worries me the most. Would you take the risk to take a cop out of the game instead of trying to identify active scum?

Because of these, I have a strong scumread on Tolkien He is still forcing this policy by now.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/301748-a-general-guide-to-mafia

When you find out that you have a blue role, the general knee-jerk reaction is that you are too important to the town to risk being lynched or shot by the mafia. This can cause people with blue roles to lurk and exhibit posts that suggest “fear”. However, a good player with a blue role will appear exactly like he is a townie, though this is not easy to do. When you have a blue role, you should be posting as if you are a townie. The only difference is that you are more well-informed than other townies. Use that knowledge to aid the town without letting a feeling of your importance as a blue role alter your posting habits.

If you are lurking as a blue, YOU'RE NOT PLAYING WELL. All you're doing is drawing attention to yourself by conspicuously not posting anything. There is no tangible benefit to lurking for town, as we can't figure out alignment and shit. PLAYING BLUE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR PLAYING BAD. So if I have to light a fire under your arses, fine. For D1, this is a perfectly sound policy.

Anything regarding my push onto Scott is well-tread ground, so unless you have anything new to ask or to add, that's a beaten horse.


It's a difficult vote for me right now. Until I get an acceptable defense that isn't an OMGUS, meatpudding is a pretty scummy candidate no matter my potential misgivings of Teemu. The only other option for me I is jabberwocky given the aforementioned discrepancies in his filter and shifting opinions. I want an explanation for it, but it's far less egregious than meatpudding's posts. Which are basically just OMGUS, and pretty useless from a town standpoint. A vote on meatpudding would additionally clear up my muddled picture of Teemu, and a few others, who are currently on him, based on his flip.

But it also feels bluntly plausible that' he's just a poor newbie who's struggling to learn the game, since he's pretty blatantly OMGUSing here. But then again he'll be useless in that case so...




Well, actually I really like Cats' recent posts and I agree with him on MysteryMeat's apparent discrepancy about our lynching policy towards non-contribution and lurkers. I'd like him to respond to it, because it's a pretty glaring difference when I was way more over the top with my stance on the issue. Probably a D2 case to bring up overall, but I actually VERY much like the case Cats brought up.

I also didn't notice that we both proposed the same policy, him bringing it up first. Outside of the apparent frenzy over his introduction, he's leaning town to me now.

Noticeably:
King of the cats:
I honestly really don't like him, seems super scummy, in one of his arguments on lynching, he mentions that he doesn't care about alignment. If you can push a mislynch day1, then you can kill a stronger player in the night. Top scum at the moment.

tolkien: The only thing i didn't like was that he said he didn't like cats or meatpudding, and i felt like his post read that he didn't like cats more, but then he votes on meatpudding, Find it a little weird, but nothing other than that.


Ok you know what, fuck it.

It is a VERY glaring inconsistency for MysteryMeat1 to condemn Cats for the possibility of a mislynch and not my push. The post is too reminiscent of my experience with N1k0 in my first TL mafia game. As much as I hate it since I really do want to lynch meatpudding for being a useless fucker, but...

##Vote MysteryMeat1

It's a tough choice, honestly. Moderately strong scum read vs. scummy read/pretty useless contributor. But this is what my gut says.

Also, glumly awaiting modkills on the 2 inactives (or a swap; 2 modkills is fucking brutal).

Besides being TotalBiscuit (read the paragraph about lurking as blue and the one after that in TB's voice), he does the following:

-Telling blues to post more. I don't think this ended up doing anything helpful, but he did state pretty clearly that his policy was to lynch the most unhelpful people and that blues should make sure they're as helpful as they need to be, so this isn't particularly bad.
-Says meatpudding is pretty scummy, and if he isn't, he's not useful.
-Said "fuck it" and voted MysteryMeat because of a very glaring inconsistency in his posting (Personally, my reason was much different and more difficult for me, although he had difficulty with it too). He should go after meatpudding tomorrow, anything else at this point would definitely be super bizarre considering meatpudding hasn't done much.

He then argues with MysteryMeat, which convinced him further due to nearly random posts at that point.
And then, when Meatpudding suddenly disappears, he tries to have his pudding and eat it. A bit greedy… at this point my town read started to weaken due to how aggressively he'd been trying to get them both lynched, considering they are both suspicious to quite a lot of us at this point.

His next post, however, lines up with the "be active, don't talk about being blue, just be town if you're blue" core of his game plan.

Alright, I'll be back watching this thread sporadically, and I'll post the brunt of my analysis towards the end of the night.

That being said, I have a few clarifications to make for Teemu, and an addendum to the (failed) case on MM1.


To fully elaborate on the reasons I pushed it:

In his initial reads list, he said this:
King of the cats:
I honestly really don't like him, seems super scummy, in one of his arguments on lynching, he mentions that he doesn't care about alignment. If you can push a mislynch day1, then you can kill a stronger player in the night. Top scum at the moment.


But later, when pressed on me by Haru, said:
tolkien: The only thing i didn't like was that he said he didn't like cats or meatpudding, and i felt like his post read that he didn't like cats more, but then he votes on meatpudding, Find it a little weird, but nothing other than that.


At this time, I had already made my case on Scott at least 12 hours ago I think.


KotC points it out, and I agreed with him wholeheartedly. He finds KotCs his top scum for being fine with a lynch of a non-contributor yet said he didn't have any feelings about me, when I start a lynch of an effective non-contributor (and push for a lurker lynch policy), and stated that a mislynch is an acceptable risk in D1 without a strong scum read. When I actually noticed KotCs state this, it seemed eminently impossible to me that he would be able to hone in on KotCs for that policy and make him his top scum choice, while completely ignoring me, as I was far louder telegraphing my intentions about it in the thread than KotC did. I, and apparently others, didn't notice KotC make that statement either.

I felt at the time that this was far to glaring to ignore, given there were votes onto KotC and he was under suspicion and, at the time, everyone had read me as on the fence. I considered it a very plausible motive, and a clear explanation for why he didn't vote for me (he was scum hoping to blend in). At the time, my only other major scumread was meatpudding, and I had a stronger read on MM1. It was, as I noted, a very tough choice and I wondered if MM1 could've been a better D2 case.

I stopped pushing after I made my initial case to support KotC after I pushed this theory and case, since I didn't want to tunnel it completely onto him, as meatpudding was also an acceptable lynch and I REALLY wanted to hear from both of them. I made some unnecessary cutting remarks, but really from that point on, he hung himself with his own posts, and it was Cats and everyone else who did most of the pushing.

There's quite frankly not much else I can say when he posts really confusing shit like me and him having a potential relationship; as I stated, wat is the relevance to anything if you're speculating about a potential relationship on D1 about a period of time between when you made your first reads list and when I pushed the case on you. I think we spent at least a good 30 minutes trying to figure that out, which unfortunately detracted from his defense to the point where enough people decided his flailing was too confusing as I did.

I was fairly certain he was scum up until the flip, but by that point, I was fine with him dying even if he was town because I couldn't understand his arguments by that point. <_<;

In hindsight, he likely simply didn't read the thread where I started the wagon on Scott well enough and pushed onto KotC with the most concrete piece of "evidence" he could've. But again, I stand by my reasons for voting MM1 at the time.



As for a pre-emptive defense of myself, where do I make such posts? I don't recall making such posts at all D1, but I might've done so. It was an exhausting 1/2 of the day for me. Partially why I stopped seriously pushing the case on MM1.

I'll be quite honest, I would rather have heard from you, Teemu, before the flip. Accusations are easy now after flips have been made, so I would've much rather have heard from you while the case is in-progress; it would be much more enlightening to your motives and your opinions. Grilling me is a natural position after I had such a heavy hand in the MM1 lynch, so I really can't read anything off this. But time constraints and timezones, I understand.

This reason keeps coming up again and again when Tolkien and Cats both defend their case/accuse MM1.

To put it simply, why focus on it so hard? Since MM1 flipped green, it almost sounds like they had to pre-emptively defend their case on something they knew would be a mislynch.

Did MM1 actually not push on Tolkien at all? I'm still not sure how much things would be different, if he had.


My overall read is that he it's scummy to accuse/vote him while everyone else is on the fence with him or leaning scum. The way and the amount of "WHY ME?! AND NOT TOLKIEN" I read from this makes me lean way scummier on him. It understand KotC and both Tolkien had this as one of their reasons to literally bury MM1. At this point I didn't really see as to why it would be so weird to push on KotC instead of Tolkien from MM1's perspective, since both are basically as valid for pushing to either get reads or try to lynch scum. If anyone can help me correct myself with a potential misread, please do!

The initial reads list, he didn't at all after he decided to decry KotCs for being top scum for an lynch-of-non-contributors policy, when he says absolutely nothing about me, except something confusing about me thinking Cats was scummier than meatpudding and that's it. He decided he was NEUTRAL on me, which made no sense given the context of his vote. In hindsight it was just a major glaring error on his part, but the major lapse of consistency made me eminently suspicious at the time. Think about it yourself. If you had read his initial reads (+ what Haru pushed for) at the time, what would you have thought?

And you really need to work on making sense. Because I still can't follow your line of thinking in your defense afterwards.

If you're scum, die.


I want you to stop flip-flopping on MeatPudding. This isn't updating your own reads, as Nydus said. It sounds more like being unsettled to call your scum partner one way or the other.

You say he's fine, and you coach him on how to play better as town. But just in case he's scum, you tell him to die.

I'm saying you're not fine, and that you need to dig yourself out from the hole you've jumped in to by making this case on MM1 on weak basis. By making the case based on him having discrepancy in analysis and not making much sense, while these are the exact same things MeatPudding should be accused of, and you still think he is "fine".

You most certainly are scum, and you need to die.

?????

I was referring to MM1, not meatpudding (and IF he's bad town, parts of it still do).

I should've quoted the post I was referring to, but I was tired, but here's the context post I was responding to.

By "fine" I was referring to his conduct, which is fine. Mafia can be pretty aggressive, and he didn't do anything out of line.

(If anyone did, it was probably me)


I clarify that later too.

You apply too, though you aren't dead. Make some fking sense tonight/tomorrow and stop OMGUSing. There is a potential for a case on Teemu, but good lord man.



My stance on meatpudding didn't change throughout the entirety of D1: he would've been an acceptable lynch for me as well, I just felt I had a stronger read on MM1. I would've preferred it if they both died, and have/had nothing against lynching him.



And as you mentioned Haru, the cases on both of them were certainly very similar (why I spent so much time debating which one to move my vote to after pressuring Scott [who now appears to be AWOL]), I simply felt that MM1 was more likely scum.


Ill answer any questions as I see them from now until the end of night.

This is a really defensive post, but his response to Teemu was fantastic and very clear. I have one problem, though, with the bolded post. Earlier, he said that

It's a tough choice, honestly. Moderately strong scum read vs. scummy read/pretty useless contributor.

So… why are the cases similar, exactly? Would love to hear it.



If Templar was just, by random chance, helping out Teemursu in arguments and null-reading him the whole game without knowing he was a mafia, then that's quite unfortunate, but I'm keeping my vote on him.


I think he's likely scum.

Looking at the day1 ML I still strongly believe there is mafia between Epi Hobbitus Templar.


Assuming that HaruH is the real cop then the only other mafia that could have voted on meat d1 is glowing bear splitting up the mafia votes as potentially 2/2 if there is 4. Im leaning towards HaruH being the real cop because he checked meat saw he was town and then pushed hard to lynch the peope who voted on him as well he also claimed he was going to check glowing bear. Regardless of Glowingbears allignement mafia have to roleblock (im assuming he was not jailed cause that would be dumb IMO as one of them would move on to the next day to lead) Sure you can say maybe meat was GF but he couldnt live for 2 days in a row and not die to mafia if he was confirmed.

Still looking at Epi Hobbitus Templar and knowing that Teemu is mafia, Im more inclined to believe that mafia would bus eachother on that day so Im going to live in the world where Epi is town leaving me with Templar and Hobbitus as potential scum. With the possibilty of their still being 3 scum alive ill toss tehpoofter into the mix as a third mafia but at the bottom of the totenpole.

Hobbitus changed his vote at EOD off of meatpudding to Epishade, from the prospective I was living in with Teemu being town for pulling off a town to vote someone else I cant 100% consider as I have been proven wrong that scum can do this. This just makes me believe Epi is more town and that mafia tried to hammer him EOD and hoped another town voted on him to get him lynched.

So yesterday votes are kinda telling that TEMPLAR NEED TO BE LYNCHED

For one I strongly believe that Epi and Teemu cannot be scum together and Templar voted on EPI in a tied vote where Teemu flipped scum, Glowingbear being the last vote on Teemu I dont think can be scum as all he had to do was pull off and vote someone else and Epi wouldve been lynched. Again I know this theory has been disproven already but in the situation that we were in or couldve been in with it being LYLO I think mafia is more likely to go for the win rather than bus.

Lets lynch Templar and then tomorrow we can hunt for more scum

##VOTE TEMPLAR

##Unvote

This is a much better post from you than I was expecting. You know, actually playing the game instead of bitching is a pretty good strategy.

However, I don't like that you pinpoint me as the only suspicious person in the vote. On day 2, Tehpoofter voted Nydus early on, and despite being extremely active during that day, simply did not ever change his vote. Yes, that looks worse in hindsight than it did in day 2, but then look at day 3. Poof does literally the opposite, stirring up confusing in the voting and trying to get people away from someone. At no point did he vote Teemu, and he voted Haru twice. If he is mafia, he ultimately failed to get people to not focus on Teemu.

Now, concerning Epishade…
In day 2, Nydus/jabber had 3+ votes for the last hour and a half and Epishade and Teemu had 1 each. It is perfectly reasonable for them, if they were both scum, to vote each other in order to prevent any suspicion in case one of them gets lynched. Note also how Epishade unvoted Teemu and then revoted him after a brief vote on the slightly suspicious jabber, as if he wasn't sure.

Then in day 3, he kept unvoting Teemu AGAIN. At this point the voting was very chaotic and the host was having trouble keeping track of the votes so it's possible he made a mistake.

In addition, you completely ignore GlowingBear, who switches votes a lot in day 3 without too much explanation.


All of these are possibilities. However, I'm still inclined that one or two of you/Poofter/GlowingBear is more likely because of your previous inclination to keep things chaotic at the EOD.


Are you serious? (1) Are you still considering me as scum even after My decisive vote against Teemu and after I explained I was sheeping tehpoofter? (2)

You put a good point concerning poof. I'll be reevaluating my read on him

In case you haven't noticed, I've been suspecting everyone except the guy who claimed cop.
(1) My reasoning on you is a bit thin, I will admit. Although, it was difficult to tell what was going on when you were switching votes along with Poof and Epishade and the host was not there. In fact, when I was reading through the next morning, I didn't realize Teemu was even close to being lynched until it was brought up. It's always possible that mafia's made a mistake; we all know the town has made a lot.
(2) As I've said, I'm not so sure about Poof anymore. He comes in at EOD and starts being really active, and then disappears, and he never voted Teemu (understandable considering he was defending him all game).



Glowing bear is my only town ATM. Everyone else is up for lynch. I'm going to a movie I'll be back in a couple hours for EoD chaos. Mafia better get in your afk excuses now. Town make a ##unvote ##vote macro. Yesterday's chaos was started by me and we hit a mafia and found out meat and glowing we're town. We're going again!!!

Some one else besides tambo look at the votes not just at the very end of day 3 but each time the lynch target changes that's the key!,,

I'm out for some transformers.

P.s. Freedom train lost today so I'm extra pissed! I'm blaming mafia this lynch is for USA #IBelieveThatWeWillWin

I'm really not planning on switching my vote at this point. Templar hasn't convinced me he's not scum, and I don't think he could either.

This setup actually has 5 mafia, the game ended a while ago and the host is trolling you guys

I pmed BlazingFist about starting a game where everyone is town but didn't know there weren't mafia, and lynches would show up town one day and then scum the next until lylo. Then people who died and people in the obs chat could vote on someone to shoot in the night to confuse people even more lol. Last 2 people left won.

He was pretty good in the beginning, but I wasn't going to let him talk me out of voting for him after keeping his "pressure vote" on me and almost getting me lynched.

Yeah, he went out of his way to defend MysteryMeat, which is the main reason I thought he was town in the beginning. Didn't think a scum would bother doing that. He hid himself well, but his vote placement, among other things, gave it away.

Just how in the world does jailing you prove your innocence? If you tell someone to jail you, what good would that possibly do in proving you are townie? You'd get jailed, and since you baited a jail, mafia is free to shoot someone else without fear of being jailed, and without fear of shooting someone that was jailed. No scum in their right mind would think to hand the gun to you after you ask to be jailed. The shot goes off clear and someone else other than you dies.

Maybe we can get a clear answer to this.

If somebody is jailed AND roleblocked, do they still receive a roleblock PM, or does the jail override that and they only receive a jailed PM?
