I'm pretty sure Matt/Foolish would be more concerned about dying if they were town.

I know Foolish hated the way he got lynched in Shadow. Dunno if he'd just let that happen again.

Well, while I think so too you can't ignore the fact that he basically gave up without a fight and let us lynch him in YOSO. Might have something to do with me and other people tunneling him all game though.

Random filter reads - ritocky - I don't like his chromatically tunnel, especially on day 1 it felt like he was avoiding he rest of the thread. Also, his reasoning feels tunnelly to me - I don't see it overall, and it feels self-reinforcing.

That said, I actually kind of like the way after day 1 he started interacting with the rest of the thread more. The other reads in his list post feel much more organic to me. I like his comment on sinani and on "banks" although I might not like that as much if I knew who banks was.

Leaning town on him.

Random filter reads: gumshoe -
- chairman ray is an easy target since he keeps getting mislynched
- don't like his advice post to exo, not one bit
- kitomai day1 case is correct reasoning but that's not necessarily a town tell because that reasoning was so obvious, didnt require a townie point of view to see. Still, good
- after absence still on Eco, srs?

Don't like the exo advice giving obsession, that's like five posts out of like twenty. Not gonna call him scum for lurking since he's posted more than I have, but lean scum for the above reasons0

Random filter reads (not actually random I chose short filters so I could do more): chairman ray

- random votes round as a joke then makes it real - doesnt have to be "scum trying to justify their random vote", I could also see the random vote making him read round's filter first as town - actually it wouldn't make sense for this to be scum trying to maintain consistency and justify an early vote since he announces the random vote beforehand. Still, I think in general scum are more likely to be concerned with consistency than town, so when someone real-votes the target of their random vote it makes me suspicious.
- that said I kind of like his reasoning in his real-case post on round.
- his koshi long post reads townie to me. This is counterintuitive but I see confliction about your read on someone as townie not scummy, since scum are going to be self aware of the "need to not be wishy washy" and are going to fake self confidence and make sure their reads have a point
- bat snacks case is null, i don't feel a lot of attachment but I can see where his read is coming from
- don't like the unvote on bar snacks but reading the filter it seems less scummy than I thought it would, for the same reasons the case itself is null
- reasons for voting me are fine IMO

Apologies for being afk. I've been kind of depressed / angry since the Haru flip.

So the night kills. I'm going to assume Kush was town and we have 5 mafia left, and I'm not going to read into the janitor or anything. Koshi getting hit was expected. Tehpoofter was one of my top town reads and I really liked his reads post during the night, I agreed with it very much.

There are two sections of people we need to lynch in this game. They are inactive people who look scummy, and the semi-active people who look scummy. Most of the fairly active people appear at least somewhat townish and are in my townreads. I'm willing to accept that perhaps 1 maybe 2 are the active mafia and most are the inactive / semi-lurkish people in the thread.

I would not mind lynching the following people today, in order of preference: Ketomai, Chairman Ray, SnB, Sandroba, MiF, maybe Ritoky. There are a few others that I have barely read into that should probably get the noose as well.

Ketomai
is mafia for a few reasons.

1) The RoundaBound 'placeholder' vote. All relevant quotes and exposition are spoilered.

This thread is incredibly hard to read/follow on my phone.


Keto places a vote onto Round, claiming that of the two wagons, Round is more scummy than Exo. I find it interesting that Keto limits himself to these two wagons instead of placing a vote elsewhere. Who else did he find scummy in his first read through? As Ketomai would go onto explain, he does not even believe Round is mafia.

The justification for the round vote is incredibly mafia-like. Ketomai wants round and the thread to take his vote not seriously, claiming that he will change his vote. His vote is 'filler', a waste. Think of the intent behind these two quotes and vote. A town intent would suggest voting someone Keto believes is mafia in attempt to push him. A mafia intent involves 1) Survival (not being modkilled, good for town too but he makes the explicit notion of only voting for self-preservation). 2) Side-stepping responsibility, by casting his vote under the guise of 'filler' and claiming he will change it. 3) Avoiding the suspicion of Round; by ensuring him that he doesn't believe Round is mafia and he will most certainly 'change it up'. Keto attempts to appease Round by saying "disregard that vote", and that typically does not come from town.

If I were mafia, it''d be a lot easier to just stash away my vote somewhere since your bandwagon is already gaining steam. If I were trying to save exo as mafia than him flipping would eventually lead to my demise.

Don't worry, lol.



This quote further reinforces that Keto does not believe the person he is voting is scum. The "If I were mafia bit" is rather ironic, and appeals to his own actions thus far in the game. Is not what he claims he would do as mafia, EXACTLY what he is doing? Keto is stashing away his vote on a bandwagon that is already gaining steam. Mafia want to lynch town (assuming round is town, i like the chances of this), and adding a vote 'in case something happens' to the town wagon only benefits mafia. It is convenient for mafia to place this vote because they can claim that 'something did happen' and I couldn't get home to change my vote. But I'm sorry he flipped town, I didn't even believe he was mafia.

More appeasement of Round. The GUARANTEE that he will change his vote!!! This does not even PRESSURE Round. Town intent of this post is practically nonexistent. Mafia intent is to appease Round and to have an excuse to vote on his wagon. The bottom "How's that? It's in writing ok?" testifies to Keto's mindset: he seems a bit scared that he is being called out for the vote.


2) The "Everyone who wants to lynch me is mafia" Defense, and Scattershot

Go for it if you want to waste your time and lynch. People who are hanging onto me are clearly just looking for another topic to create more chaos or just to prod me.

Have fun losing the rest of your game if you get manipulated into being distracted by random comments like mine.


I have a few problems with this post. The first is he calls out everyone attacking him (THE ULTIMATE OMGUS ), calling the discussion around him a topic of 'chaos'. If everyone simply wants to create more chaos, does that not mean they are all mafia? It makes little sense to claim that 'hanging onto' Ketomai creates chaos. If it did, then Keto could give us some samples of these mafia people, but he neglects to do so. Then, he claims that the town is being manipulated. Manipulated by who? Mafia? At first Keto claims the people hanging on are creating chaos (mafia), and then claims they are being manipulated (unfortunate townie). Such incongruity, what does he really believe? Seems like mafia making stuff up. It seems like a mafia gambit to lash out against the town for calling him out. It's scattershot, to say the least.

He furthers his campaign by implying that these same people are not looking 'objectively' at the game, which essentially calls them bad. The entire post is steeped in a negative tone, calling the town bad, and they should lose the game if they lynch him. Doesn't appear very townie at all to me.

In addition, he calls his own posts 'random comments'. If they are not relevant, and just 'random comments', then why make them? Town have a purpose to voting and making comments: to discern who is mafia. Mafia make random comments for no reason to appear active.

I can think of one town intention to making this post: if the townie is very mad, and wants to make the point that the points against him are bad. This intention can also be that of scum. The manner by which he executes his post, however, appears to be that of mafia because of it's totally aggressive, generalizing, and omgus nature.

whos getting manipulated and where?

you must provide quotes and scholarly sources.


Anyone who is taking round or your comments about me seriously.

If you don't believe me, filter my posts and look where I began posting. The initial comment was pretty innocuous; the rest are to try to calm down round for the benefit of the town and round himself. I'm not the one trying to distract town with useless material.

I'm actually done here. I'll be returning with a content-filled post tomorrow instead of clogging up the thread and the town agenda with this garbage.



What does Ketomai do in the bolded statement? He attempts to deflect pressure off of himself and onto Round and other townies pushing him. Apparently, Round and company are "trying to distract the town with useless material". This is just another snippet of Keto calling the points on him bad and putting the pressure back onto people he doesn't even believe are mafia.


After these posts Ketomai takes a large haitus, KoC mafia gets lynched. I actually don't mind some of the posts that ensue. The reads on Sinani and Exo aren't out of the question, and I don't disagree with some of the brief analysis, but it is nothing stunning to me. He steps up his play which is a +1 in his favor.

But I don't like this post:

Don't have time to look into it but isn't this strange?

Blues don't typically want to stand out. Generally they want to be indistinguishable to green townies.

Even if you're town and you think he's a vigi, why would you attempt to identify him for the mafia? If you really thought he was a vigi, it'd actually be best to leave him be because he's useful to the mafia at the moment. The comment was totally unnecessary.

If you're mafia, this could easily be a way to defend a fellow mafia by looking like you're doing work for the town and contributing when all you're doing is helping confuse people further.

Let MZ defend himself.


Blue talk, seems ironic that we shouldn't be talking about MZ being the vig, yet Keto is talking about MZ being the vig. Seems like an easy attack on MiF though. If MiF is town I really won't like this post.

Some useless bussing speculation that won't have any relevance unless marv survives until endgame.

Noticed this contradiction too:

Keto's read on Koshi day 1:

On June 12 2014 12:33 ketomai wrote:

Koshi: Leaning slightly towards mafia. Biggest flag is his lack of cooperation with town as noted by others. He doesn't really argue, he just tries to pass off his viewpoints on the grounds that it should be obvious. I'm willing to wait on how he responds now that he's under pressure now and after he's promised to be more cooperative, however. He hasn't really contributed much other than defending himself. Also, I disagree with pretty much everything he says, but that doesn't really make him more or less mafia.


Keto's take on Koshi day 2:

3) Nothing strong. Haru's case is stronger (see day 1 vote, see start of altercation)

I can't shake this feeling.
All your responses read to me like a guy that is prepared for an interview.
All the token stuff I want hear.
It perturbs me.

I do agree between about hsaru though.

Can I have your current assessment of koshi pls.

~moc


And your accusations read like garbage (and it's not just me). I don't really care what you think because you don't even have a legit case because you're misreading (literally) almost everything. This is the last question I answer from you:

I have not looked into Koshi. I also can't tell because people have said he's had a history of being stupid. His day 1 votes look town. His day 2 vote looks a little strange since he defended kush before and he's also made a play to swing the bandwagon momentum in a huge way for a shitty reason. I pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post.


Keto leans mafia on Koshi day 1, but then on Day 2 he claims that Koshi's votes looked town? I assume Keto means Koshi ended up on KoC day 1, which indicates town. But previously, Keto was explaining how easy of a bus KoC could have been. Seems odd to me.

What is most intriguing to me are these two sentences: "His day 2 vote looks a little strange since he defended kush before and he's also made a play to swing the bandwagon momentum in a huge way for a shitty reason. I pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post".

Ketomai claims that he "pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post", and that he "hasn't looked into Koshi". But, somehow he knows EXACTLY what Koshi has been doing. He knows Koshi had a day 2 vote on Kush. He knows he made a play to swing bandwagon momentum for a 'shitty reason'. How can Ketomai know these things, and have an opinion on them, if he HASN'T LOOKED INTO KOSHI. How can he say this if he STARTED IGNORING HIM AFTER HIS FIRST CONTENT POST. Also, why would you ignore someone you originally had a scumread on? Day 1 Koshi was slightly scum, and Keto wanted to look more into him.

This seems like a terrible incongruity and a lie. I like these reasons for Ketomai being mafia. His day 1 play was incredibly mafia-looking, and some of the stuff that's followed has either been null or mafia-oriented to me.

Also Don't like Chairman Ray. Will make brief points.

1) Day 1 play can be characterized as safe conjecture. Some posts felt like homework to Batsnacks, felt like little content for a lot of words / fluff.

2) Day 2 abysmal plays. Pops in right after I give my case on TownHaru, bolsters it, but does not back it up with a vote. Comes in many many hours later to post "Hey guys, what's up?" Then leaves for another 12 hours. Comes back and wastes his vote. Chairman claims that he hadn't read Haru's defense, and that's why he didn't vote. Clearly CR had time to read his defense if he comes in to post "Hey guys" randomly and ask what he should look at. He was around.

3) CR doesn't seem to care about the game at all. Seems like mafia just coasting by this game without doing anything of consequence to further a town agenda, and just voting to stay safe.

Have fun losing the rest of your game if you get manipulated into being distracted by random comments like mine.


I have a few problems with this post. The first is he calls out everyone attacking him (THE ULTIMATE OMGUS ), calling the discussion around him a topic of 'chaos'. If everyone simply wants to create more chaos, does that not mean they are all mafia? It makes little sense to claim that 'hanging onto' Ketomai creates chaos. If it did, then Keto could give us some samples of these mafia people, but he neglects to do so. Then, he claims that the town is being manipulated. Manipulated by who? Mafia? At first Keto claims the people hanging on are creating chaos (mafia), and then claims they are being manipulated (unfortunate townie). Such incongruity, what does he really believe? Seems like mafia making stuff up. It seems like a mafia gambit to lash out against the town for calling him out. It's scattershot, to say the least.

He furthers his campaign by implying that these same people are not looking 'objectively' at the game, which essentially calls them bad. The entire post is steeped in a negative tone, calling the town bad, and they should lose the game if they lynch him. Doesn't appear very townie at all to me.

In addition, he calls his own posts 'random comments'. If they are not relevant, and just 'random comments', then why make them? Town have a purpose to voting and making comments: to discern who is mafia. Mafia make random comments for no reason to appear active.

I can think of one town intention to making this post: if the townie is very mad, and wants to make the point that the points against him are bad. This intention can also be that of scum. The manner by which he executes his post, however, appears to be that of mafia because of it's totally aggressive, generalizing, and omgus nature.

whos getting manipulated and where?

you must provide quotes and scholarly sources.


Anyone who is taking round or your comments about me seriously.

If you don't believe me, filter my posts and look where I began posting. The initial comment was pretty innocuous; the rest are to try to calm down round for the benefit of the town and round himself. I'm not the one trying to distract town with useless material.

I'm actually done here. I'll be returning with a content-filled post tomorrow instead of clogging up the thread and the town agenda with this garbage.



What does Ketomai do in the bolded statement? He attempts to deflect pressure off of himself and onto Round and other townies pushing him. Apparently, Round and company are "trying to distract the town with useless material". This is just another snippet of Keto calling the points on him bad and putting the pressure back onto people he doesn't even believe are mafia.


After these posts Ketomai takes a large haitus, KoC mafia gets lynched. I actually don't mind some of the posts that ensue. The reads on Sinani and Exo aren't out of the question, and I don't disagree with some of the brief analysis, but it is nothing stunning to me. He steps up his play which is a +1 in his favor.

But I don't like this post:

Don't have time to look into it but isn't this strange?

Blues don't typically want to stand out. Generally they want to be indistinguishable to green townies.

Even if you're town and you think he's a vigi, why would you attempt to identify him for the mafia? If you really thought he was a vigi, it'd actually be best to leave him be because he's useful to the mafia at the moment. The comment was totally unnecessary.

If you're mafia, this could easily be a way to defend a fellow mafia by looking like you're doing work for the town and contributing when all you're doing is helping confuse people further.

Let MZ defend himself.


Blue talk, seems ironic that we shouldn't be talking about MZ being the vig, yet Keto is talking about MZ being the vig. Seems like an easy attack on MiF though. If MiF is town I really won't like this post.

Some useless bussing speculation that won't have any relevance unless marv survives until endgame.

Noticed this contradiction too:

Keto's read on Koshi day 1:

Koshi: Leaning slightly towards mafia. Biggest flag is his lack of cooperation with town as noted by others. He doesn't really argue, he just tries to pass off his viewpoints on the grounds that it should be obvious. I'm willing to wait on how he responds now that he's under pressure now and after he's promised to be more cooperative, however. He hasn't really contributed much other than defending himself. Also, I disagree with pretty much everything he says, but that doesn't really make him more or less mafia.


Keto's take on Koshi day 2:

1) The Palmar flip. He was already unbelievably likely to be townie. Now he's just a bit more.

2) Because I actually have a case on sinani and have made cases on other people. I am by no means tunneling him like he is tunneling me. I'm not even voting for him for an "easy" vote.

3) Nothing strong. Haru's case is stronger (see day 1 vote, see start of altercation)

I can't shake this feeling.
All your responses read to me like a guy that is prepared for an interview.
All the token stuff I want hear.
It perturbs me.

I do agree between about hsaru though.

Can I have your current assessment of koshi pls.

And your accusations read like garbage (and it's not just me). I don't really care what you think because you don't even have a legit case because you're misreading (literally) almost everything. This is the last question I answer from you:

I have not looked into Koshi. I also can't tell because people have said he's had a history of being stupid. His day 1 votes look town. His day 2 vote looks a little strange since he defended kush before and he's also made a play to swing the bandwagon momentum in a huge way for a shitty reason. I pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post.


Keto leans mafia on Koshi day 1, but then on Day 2 he claims that Koshi's votes looked town? I assume Keto means Koshi ended up on KoC day 1, which indicates town. But previously, Keto was explaining how easy of a bus KoC could have been. Seems odd to me.

What is most intriguing to me are these two sentences: "His day 2 vote looks a little strange since he defended kush before and he's also made a play to swing the bandwagon momentum in a huge way for a shitty reason. I pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post".

Ketomai claims that he "pretty much started ignoring him after his first content post", and that he "hasn't looked into Koshi". But, somehow he knows EXACTLY what Koshi has been doing. He knows Koshi had a day 2 vote on Kush. He knows he made a play to swing bandwagon momentum for a 'shitty reason'. How can Ketomai know these things, and have an opinion on them, if he HASN'T LOOKED INTO KOSHI. How can he say this if he STARTED IGNORING HIM AFTER HIS FIRST CONTENT POST. Also, why would you ignore someone you originally had a scumread on? Day 1 Koshi was slightly scum, and Keto wanted to look more into him.

This seems like a terrible incongruity and a lie. I like these reasons for Ketomai being mafia. His day 1 play was incredibly mafia-looking, and some of the stuff that's followed has either been null or mafia-oriented to me.

SnB your filter reads don't seem to be serving a purpose right now.

Also fuck this game if MiF is actually town I'm fucking disappointed, aren't those guys supposed to be amazing at this game? You know what? We actually need to lynch the shit out of him. If he's town and he doesn't care enough to stop his own mislynch that's playing against his wincon.

##Unvote:
##Vote: MattisFoolish


I'm sick of people not playing the game and making themselves impossible to read. If you are town and lurking / trolling start playing the game.

But everyone needs to do analysis and post reads and not JUST lynch a lurker.

TehPoofter had good reads on his night post. We probably died for a reason, despite being a top town read. That's another reason I like lynching Ketomai
