So rumor has it, There is a guy, called Kenpachi, and at the game start, he says "hi, i am Kenpachi and i am a townie."

The first guy casting doubt on that dude is always scum, that's the "Kenpachi rule"

It's a stupid rule, and has no basis to why I am reading YKZ as scum.

Kenpachi Rule

##vote 27ninjabunnies


Kenpachi rule?


The Kenpachi rule, named after its author Kenpachi, is a TL adage reflecting the idea that without a clear and better motivation for a vote, it is almost certainly a scumtell when a player votes a player who claimed VT at the start of the game.

Kenpachi's rule, in broader form, is:

      Without a blantant display of humor, a vote on a vt claim comes almost always from a scum player.

The core of Kenpachi rule is that a vt claim by its nature is not suspicious to a town player, who isn't hunting for blues. Without a clear motivation for a vt claim, it looks odd to scum, who want to attack someone safely. A corollary of the Kenpachi rule is the reverse phenomenon: the first vt claim is almost always sincere.



These definitions don't exactly match up...


You can search it on TL for urself, but it's not about claiming townie, as 27ninjabunnies asserts. The rule is about claiming vanilla townie. Basicly, scum want to jump on something, and a VT claim looks basicly not intresting to a townie who isn't hunting for blues. It looks unique though to someone who is hunting for blues: scum.


But knowing all of this, couldn't you say you're VT regardless of alignment, bait someone's suspicion and then claim Kenpachi rule?

I'm having trouble understanding why at the very start of the game scum would be more prone to jumping on something that looks scummy. I mean if scum's job is to blend in, why be the first to vote and make a case? There's always scrutiny that comes with doing so...

And it's not like he's been eager to engage in conversation with you or investigate or get others to side with him. And yet he's just very much so convinced you're scum...

When I present information, it now exists for town to discuss, and in my case against YKZ, it puts the onus on him to disprove my arguments. However, he has repeatedly chosen to dismiss my points and provide meaningless hypothetical defenses. This is why he seems so scum to me and remains scum more than anyone else.


With regard to the Mderg situation:
His first post is bad because of it vacillation but at least he takes a firm stance at the end (albeit for somewhat unclear reasons). He also accuses VE for a lack of specificity but does to a lesser extent the same thing with Artanis and SloOsh. And to a lesser extent than YKZ, he seems more focussed on himself than most others. To me he is one the the weaker candidates for mafia outside YKZ.

@Lazer
Someone whom I think is a stronger candidate for mafia outside YKZ is Snickers. At the beginning of the game, he casts suspsicion on 27nb following YKZ, supports the Kenpachi rule and encourages further discussion of it. Then he makes some slightly unclear buddy up to YKZ posts. Then he supports me, the he flipflops on me following a not so good case on me by artansis. He harps quite a bit on the "information" and blue talk even after I try multiple times to dissuade him from doing so. He even says "I am leaning pretty hard to vote for you. Especially when two people have posted how your post had such a great timing." And if that weren't enough, he hops straight onto the Mderg train. This is a little bit of bluehunting covered by a boatload of bandwagoning. His agenda feels like one in which he wants to blend into the town instead of making his own reads and arguments. At first, I pardoned him because he wasn't as stubborn as YKZ but this level of bandwagoning suggests to me that he is more likely scum than town.

Artanis is on my suspicion list because he his reasoning against me been (I strongly believe) wrong, but he has been firm but not stubborn or inordinately foccused on one topic. His dismissal of YKZ vs 27nb is something that suggests he may be mafia with one of YKZ (my pick) or 27nb but that is a bit of a stretch atm.

I made a case for you, Snickers. Please read the thread.

Are you talking about new information in general, or new information about YKZ? If it's YKZ (or even you), I have not presented much new information because instead of refuting my points, YKZ and you continue to dismiss or ignore my points, indicating to me that you two cannot refute my points and are therefore scum. YKZ has made less of an effort than you to do so, so he gets my vote for today, until he does something to refute my points (as I said on Day 1, which he dismissed)..

VE's disgruntledness/lurkiness is bad but not even close to as bad as the way in which YKZ, in particular, and you try to mislead the town.

Koshi also deserves a special mention for his lackadaisicalness, but like VE, not as serious of an infringement as that of YKZ and you (Snickers).

Mderg would also get a mention, but I feel increasingly much that Snickers is trying to put him in the same position as 27nb on Day 1.

The rest seem to be presenting information and ideas well so I feel that they are towny.


at this point I see only lies in your posts. I will let the others decide.I really would encourage you to show me where your case is on me and where i dismiss or ignore your points.

Very funny how you now say these other names after i ridicule you on trying to focus on one. Too bad it is all lies.

It sounded like you want opinions on everyone. Do you now not want me to give my opinions? Say one thing then imply the other so you can move either way in the future and not appear suspicious? Your comment is ridiculous and serves only to cause havoc. My focus on YKZ and you should already tell you that you two are significantly higher on my mafialist than others.+ Show Spoiler [in short] +
He asks for something that might actually be useful, I provide it, he calls me mafia. Ridiculous


Regardless, my comments on the others only solidify the fact that I DO want to focus much more on YKZ and you than everyone else because they have not presented significant enough reason for me to think that they are likely mafia (unlike YKZ and you).

Yes only focus on two people when three could be mafia. Yes lets focus on people since that worked out so well for you day one.

Also that was very predictable your comment in spoilers. Also you are doing the same back and fourth we had day one.


My THIRD time quoting my case against him and still nothing. Day 1, Snickers never responds to it. That is where he ignored it.
Day 2, he doesn't read and claims that I do not have a case and he never ignore/dismiss (1 misrepresentation of information, and its corollary)
Then, instead of responding to the case, he criticizes the very general (and again not correct; I have mentioned who I thought were strong town to me earlier) nature of my play, and a specific phrase/summary (not actual response to any part of it).

He refuses to and avoids responding to my points because he CANNOT do so without acknowedging the scummy nature of his actions.

You guys must get a high off of being confusing.

This is an archetype of his posts. No reasoning or explanations.


--------------------------------

YKZ: another day, more dissatisfaction and haughtiness, another promise.

VE: activity indicates otherwise, but he is generating good discussion and for this he pushes himself away from my scumlist.

Koshi: Very empty filter, some questions, not much follow up, and not much opinions. He is probably the third mafia.

Mderg: The much less likely third mafia candidate. His words seem to obfuscate his meaning (and betray that he might be mafia) but he is able to explain himself and I say again that I find it is easier to fit a town agenda to him than a mafia agenda; he is responsive and he forms opinions which is more than I can say for the other three (YKZ, Snickers, Koshi).

Everyone else, I really doubt could possibly be mafia.

---------------------------------

We must wait for YKZ's promise to come through, but in the meantime, what do you guys think about VE?

Also, time to decipher Chez's posts.

Ok, clearly you don't understand my dinner joke. When I say I'm away at dinner, what I really mean is, "I have IRL reasons for not being at the thread right now." Most of my posting for the past 48 hours has been via phone. Since I am completely and totally willing to lie about being afk as scum, I don't bother explaining why I'm AFK as town. Instead I just say I'm at dinner. If you want me to give details about WHY I have been mostly afk for 48 hours, I'll be glad to provide you with them, but let's be real here: I have lied about reasons for being AFK before as scum. I am 100% willing to say that I got dumped by my gf, or my mom died, or I had a work emergency, or WHATEVER to not get lynched as scum. I've done it before. I've pretended to have mental breakdowns. I've pretended that I don't believe in myself any more. I've pretended that I am busy with work 12 hours a day due to a deadline.

So here's what I'll tell you: if I am town, I have had a good reason to be very very low activity for 48 hours. If you want me to share that reason, feel free to ask, but the reason is MEANINGLESS because I am the one player on TL who notoriously ruthlessly lies about IRL things. Hilariously enough, I wish I didn't lie about IRL things when I was scum, because it would make a situation like this easier for me, but I can't not use that move as scum, because not using every tactic available to me would be playing against my win condition when I roll scum.

So, Artanis[Xp], not only am I playing towards my wincon, I'm one of the few people who really does. Do you still want my story? I'm busy trying to form reads and catch up seriously on 48 hours of thread. I need to reread how the D1 wagons formed. If I don't solve this problem, I get lynched.

So, tell me, do you have a better question for me?

Also, context about the government thing, that's just a line I say when I enter a thread after replacing in to a game or at the start of the game. It's not a claim, it's just me saying "even if I am not speaking, I am here right now and doing stuff".

A) You've had very little time to spend on the thread, presumably since the end of Day 1 as you did post a decent bit before that.
B) You've spent it making promises or arguing about things that are not related to catching mafia or getting reads.
C) You claim to not be playing against your win condition.
B and C are contradictory if your alignment is in fact town.

What promises? Please be specific. A link or a quote would be acceptable. I believe I promised I'd return to the thread around now after dinner and make a case. I'm in the process of doing that. If I made other promises besides that, I hereby rescind those promises as communist lies.

Limiting factor on my case-writing isn't the bandwidth of my fingers, it's my processing power, and honestly when you ask me questions I feel a strong urge to respond. Also, what, do you expect me to NOT respond to your questions? If you want, I can ignore you, but people typically don't like that.

So, basic vote count from the end of D1 shows us that 27nb was lynched with the following people on the wagon:

YKZ, Artanis, mderg, Chez, Koshi, Sloosh, GK with counterrwagons YKZ with one vote (Release) and mderg with 4 votes (snickers, VE, 27nb, Lazermonkey)

GK was shot overnight and generally the thread has died since then. Given the majority with which 27nb was lynched, we can reasonably conclude that even if mderg is in fact scum, scum wouldn't have to all vote for 27nb to save mderg. Still, we should take a look at what happened in the time leading up to the 27nb lynch to get an idea of which votes made sense and which didn't. I'm going to exclude GK from this analysis, since he died, and myself, since I think everyone is pretty clear on my stated motivations for this lynch.

In terms of major pivots on the 27nb case, it begins with my KPR case early in the day, and is augmented with a pbp analysis (link) a few hours before the deadline.

Before the pbp analysis, the only voter is mderg. He voted in his first post, about halfway through Day 1
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/458796-normal-mini-mafia-lvi?page=12#231(link) that was noteworthy for being generally unfocused. His other statements in that post are YKZ Town, Snickers strange, pre-flip assoc is bad, Release is non-perfect, sloosh is town, artanis case on release makes sense but sloosh case on him also made sense blah blah. He's giving lots of opinions and spends not a huge amount of time on his vote target, bunnies.

I'd also like to add some lines from his inital post here, the post in which he votes bunnies.
The whole thing with YKZ and bunnies is really strange. It feels like they´re both wrong, bunnies more so thab YKZ, though. I don´t think bunnies case was well substantiated at all, scumslips just almost never happen in forum mafia. I also don´t think the Kenpachi rule is as foolproof as YKZ said. It has some solid reasoning behind it but claiming that it always works seems stupid.
They´ve kinda been repeating themselves quite often, so there´s not that much to get from this.

...

So I think out of bunnies and YKZ only bunnies can really be scum. It certainly is possible. Especially the heavy focus on YKZ´s "scumslip" seems suspicious. Not calling out YKZ´s scummy posts is not really alignment indicative. Not immediately noticing things that might look scummy to some can happen as both alignments.
I also dislike how she agrees with Artanis that Release is scummy but doesn´t think he´s scum because she wants to be right about YKZ and her association read.

##vote 27ninjabunnies


I'm sure others have pointed this out, but take a look at what's going on in this post. First off, mderg talks a LOT about how 27nb is probably not scum, and neither am I. If you didn't see his vote there at the bottom of the post, and just read the post itself, you would have NO IDEA that he was voting 27nb. Here, try reading his post without the ##vote at the bottom. What does it sounds like to you?

I think YKZ is town because of the follow up on bunnies

Let's get this straight.

Bunnies, you think YKZ is scum because of the phrase "limited information"? His post paraphrased as "I'm not listening to you because you are town"?

YKZ, you think bunnies is scum for her initial call out of your post "I'm vt"?

Please try to be a bit more clear with your posts please.


Look at all the scummy stuff I've posted since my original post. Any real townie would be all over me for things like "I'm allowed to lie" and my blanatant lying etc but all YKZ is on is my OG post because he is scum. Any real townie would be all up on dis, think about it

I don´t think scum would so blatantly say that he acted scummy and someone should have pointed it out. This feels like a trap made by town. He´s also claimed vt early on which I find weird but unlikely to be scum play.

So I think out of bunnies and YKZ only bunnies can really be scum. It certainly is possible. Especially the heavy focus on YKZ´s "scumslip" seems suspicious.

##Vote Release

I kinda like this vote. And I kinda like Artanis' face.

Release sounds a lot like he's trying to justify feeling the way he does rather than explaining honestly WHY he feels the way he does. Does anyone else think so?


I agree Release is looking scummy, but I wouldn't use that exact wording. He seems heavily invested in his case, but is only leaning towards ninja's side of this debate. These two statements especially didn't sit right with me from Release's post on 21:10 15 June 2014:

"As the situation between 27bunnies and YKZ currently stands, I am leaning on the side of 27bunnies."

And yet he ends this same post:

"I think 27bunnie has the right idea, but has not manifested clearly (or in enough detail) what needs to be said to properly incriminate YKZ."

Release doesn't seem that interested in what may develop from YKZ. He already has the verdict in mind... This is a HUGE inconsistency from how he starts his post.


You have a point here I really like.

Which makes me wonder if scum defending a town here.

He's not even considering in what YKZ could or could not do.

But then if that's the case, and Release is scum, then YKZ is town, and I don't like that.

I really really want to be right that YKZ is scum.

It also feels like townreading Artanis is some kind of "You´re scumreading me, so I´ll townread you".

I think Snickers has been posting strangely. As if he wanted to play the newbie card without stating that he´s new. His general thought process doesn´t show a scum mindset, though. I didn´t really like where he talked about associations between bunnies and VKZ. IMO pre-flip associations are bad most of the time.


Release had a not so perfect entrance to this thread. At first glance his case on YKZ seemed good but it basically comes down to the few points bunnies has made on YKZ and that he stuck to the Kenpachi rule for so long. That´s not very much considering the length of his posts. What kinda speaks in his favor is how suddenly several people jumped on him after Artanis made his case on him. Still kinda neutral on him, maybe a bit scummy.

I´m having a townread on sloosh right now. Mainly because his posting feels different from Detention where we were scum together. He´s asking questions and seems to be trying to get behind the reasons from the others.

I think Artanis´case on Release made sense but slooshs case on him also made sense even though it´s not that strong. The fact that he almost completely ignored the back and forth between YKZ and bunnies is slightly suspicious. But it´s true that the back and forth was repetitive and I don´t think there was anything that´s really scummy in it. I agree with his reason for scumreading bunnies, it´s something I´m also sumreading her for. Slight townread on him.

Not much on the others, yet. I´ll hopefully post more tomorrow.



Yeah, if you read that, you don't think "I guess he probably votes bunnies at the end there, that makes sense to me". No, you don't think that at all. Not even a LITTLE bit. There's nothign that even remotely a case on bunnies there. And look at his response to people attacking him after this:

I was pretty heavily leaning scum on bunnies, so voting her seems logical, doesn´t it? I was also pretty sure that I´d be here today, just not how much time I could invest.

My vote stays on bunnies today. Nothing today that changed my mind and I need some sleep now.

We should definitely look into VE and Snickers, though.



He was NOT leaning scum on bunnies. He acted like he thought both me and bunnies were town (which of course scum would know). He never actually writes a case on bunnies.

He defends himself a bit sporadically and doesn't elaborate on his case on bunnies, and it's noteworthy that although he claims a townread on me, he doesn't defend me, the vote leader, during D2. His vote on 27nb and general defense afterwards are a pretty low tier D1, and he doesn't justify the vote, or his case on VE today, well at all. I wonder if he was not anticipating me looking so bad today, and now he's in a tough position of wanting to vote a townie on the block, but not being able to, since he "townreads" me. This would explain the lack of defense, and the fact that he has barely posted in the last 36 hours except to townread me then ask if I play like this usually.

I'd characterise mderg's play as disinterested and unfocused. An acceptable lynch for these reasons, especially the lack of staking out a solid defense (or even a solid "I changed my mind on this") post on me since, basically any time since his initial townread on em.

Take a look at his "case" on bunnies. In his filter, it's clear that the bunnies vote doesn't come from the thoughts he posted in the thread. Probably he was just posting a reads thing to look good as scum, and one of his scumbuddies reminded him he needed to vote. Like shit, man, who forgets to call someone scum or write a case? He even acts like he was leaning scum on bunnies or he had some sort of reason, even after he explicitly calls my case on bunnies unconvincing IN THE POST THAT HE VOTES BUNNIES IN.

I don't even need to read the other votes up (though I will, in due time) because if you look at mderg, the way he voted bunnies is in no way related to a town thought process. Take a look at the spoilered quote, his vote post (at the time his only post in the thread) with the ##vote taken out. There's NO WAY the ##vote follows from that post.

It's out of place because he doesn't have an actually town scumhunting and thought process to refer to. He's scum.

##unvote
##vote mderg



Q: I am lazy and dont' want to read your long post.
A: read this spoilered post by mderg, his first post, and his only voting post from D1. I have removed the ##vote from it, and reading it, you have no freaking clue that he's gonna vote 27nb. It looks like he's townreading 27nb. And then he votes her. He is scum. I have boldfaced the parts in which he refers to bunnies as town.

Also, the idea that you would decide to vote me or not vote me based on whether or not I claimed to be playing to my win con is a joke, much like your vote being on me instead of mderg is a joke. Get it together, Artanis!

I´m not sure what to think of bh. I did read him as town but over the last days I didn´t get the impression that he was really trying to help town here which would normally lead me to believe he´s scum. But he has put himself so much into the spotlight in an obviously negative way that I find it hard to believe he could be scum. I guess I have to wait for his awesome case.

For admitting he said something that he did not, plus his scum play from day one.

Got questions for me? Look at my filter.

Good Luck see you after lynch.

Can you quote that, so I know what you mean?

Do I understand it correctly that you´re leaving for the rest of day 2 because you think that you contributed enough already? What kind of shit reasoning is that?
