This.

I'm not saying he's town. Why do you think it's more likely that he's been town doing absolutely everything wrong as opposed to just being scum?

jabber, here's the thing I don't get about your explanation

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/451317-detention-mafia?page=10

On this page, people are asking you for an explanation and pressuring you, and you make up other explanations to answer them (admitted by you). Why did you not just tell them your actual reason the first time you were asked for an explanation?

Well explain to me what your point was meant to accomplish? I'm all ears buddy.

Keenly, I was trying to think of everything, leaving no stone upturned. I guess I got trapped under one of these stones

For example, everyone read this whole conversation. jabber gave an explanation, Palmar asked him for elaboration. This would be the PERFECT time for jabber to explain that you were just trying to conceal information to help you later. That's what I believe any townie would do. jabber doesn't and instead makes up something else.

As scum, however, jabber doesn't have a real explanation so he's floundering around, trying to find an explanation that works.

Also, the list post was pretty bad. I know it's a stereotypical "scumtell", but I'm pretty sure it's exactly what I did in my very first game when someone pressured me (I was scum).

I still wasn't in the right mindset or whatever about the game. I can totally see where I went wrong and understand all of your suspicion. It's definitely hard for anyone to take anything I say now seriously. But the posts from tonight are all totally what's going on, believe me or not.

This does not exactly provide me with a clear view into your thought process. But, I think it's clear at this point that I'm not going to get an explanation that I buy.


jabber, who should I lynch instead of you and why?

I'm trying not to think of teams right now, before a flip. After a flip, sure, but preflip associations totally destroyed me one game because neither of the people were actually mafia.

So I agree that he's done absolutely everything wrong, but I don't really get "too scummy to be scum". Like he's done everything I would expect scum to do in his position. What do you think he would be doing differently as mafia? Or what about it makes you doubt that he's mafia as opposed to just sealing the deal?

Okay, so on MZ, I get your point, but I'm not sure it applies here.

You know what else I don't like?
Amiko's not as active as he usually is.
Yes, he's making big posts and big cases.
Yes, he has been the most substantial player so far, in terms of post content.
But he's not as active.
Other games, he's always around, asking people questions and the like.
This game, not so much.

You've thrown around a lot of suspicions this game. Instead of making a vague statement like this, interpret what it means. If you leave it vague like this, it makes it seem like you're just trying to throw dirt on him without actually having to take a stand. Instead tell us why this is a problem, maybe provide some examples if you're gonna cite his meta.


The bolded quote is very much not trying to figure out i's alignment. If MZ thinks there is any chance i is mafia, why is he trying to stop i from digging his own grave under the threat of "if you keep doing this I'll be suspicious of you!!!!". This looks like MZ wants to read i as town, while still looking like he's poking people.


Actually, I was going to disagree, but I think I don't really anymore. My objection was that it makes sense from a town MZ if he's just giving advice on how to play to a town read of his, but the wording is very strange. He's basically saying "if you do this, you're going to look like scum" which doesn't make sense unless MZ knows sqrt is town.

His filter doesn't look like he's trying to solve the game, more like he's throwing reads out. He gives a lot of advice to people, which doesn't mean anything. He isn't questioning his scumreads which is what I'd expect a townie to do.

Not sure where he would fit in on my lynch list though, I haven't looked in depth at very many people.
