Yes. I am. But I am reading filters and making a gigantic post. Will take a lot of time. Maybe I should just post it in parts. Yes. smart. I will.

Overview of interesting things in filters. No conclusions.

Prplhz:
- Defends Forumite from the start and continues to do so. Ex. Stating Forumite might have a good reason for his 99% townread without asking what the townread is. Ex. Arguing with slOosh about the question Forumite asked.
- Very outspoken and aggressive. Ex. Entrance, towards Sinani and Exo, SlOosh vote.

Iamperfection:
- Many superficial posts. Page 3 is a good example. Both his Robik read and Damdred read are lazy.
- Asked for 10 vigis. Should have been max 4 for somebody who has been in the thread the entire game. Again shows laziness.

Toadesstern:
- First case in the game, second case in the game. Both cases had scumhunting thoughtprocess behind them. Constant in search for scum.
- After reading 1,5 pages confirmed town till lylo and blueclaims. (because he can’t be alive as town till then unless mass saves or something)

Corazon:
- This post is very town:

Iamrobik is like the most active poster i dont think he is scum and should only reassess this if on day 6 when im long dead he is still around. worry about it then. Discussion on iamrobik being scum can stop.

What the hell Iamp? The 4-5 posts in my filter have 30 times as much content and purpose as his entire filter.
If all I did was post meme's, one-liners, and rage posts whenever someone called me scum, would you REALLY count that as activity?

Reading Corazon his filter it is clear to me from the start that he is trying to push the game forward. He started with giving his opinion on 4 protagonists (Toad/Koshi/Forumite/Robik) and then trew out a comment on Yamato. Making the above post 2 minutes after reading iamps post indicates to me that Corazon is very aware of Robik his filter and is very confident about his own filter. Something a scummer wouldn’t be so confident about.

slOosh:
- Made a good case on Forumite and limited his posts around Forumite. However, SlOosh never stated to not have read the thread and was open for any questions about anything. Nowhere he shows a lack of confidence.

Vivax:
I want to point out the difference in iamp (because I already read his) and Vivax his filter by quoting these 5 posts that Vivax chained:

don't really have any reads yet, a few tentative town reads is all.

iamp, how do we feel about forumite's first post. Kinda resembles Koshi's with a tad more content. But the content smells bullshitty. I lean town nevertheless even though I'm not certain I agree with any of the conclusions at this moment
What conclusions? My read on Koshi? My read on prplhz? My thoughts on lynching early or risk a rushed lynch or a no lynch? Do you enjoy the voting frenzy 5 minutes before deadline followed by yet another town lynch, because I don´t.

##Vote: Koshi

The fact you say I am ruining the thread hurts me more than you voting me. I am the entertainment value here.
Your empty posts fill the thread and make it harder to read the thread and see posts of real value. It´s spamming and anti-town, which makes you scum, so you have to die.

about 75% of the posts have been useless including mine why pick koshi over anyone else.


I'm interested into this too.

Prpl, what do you think of Toad's stuff so far? I'd have expected you to fight back in some way by now.
I'm actively withholding judgement on Toades. My first reaction was to ignore my read on Koshi and chainsaw Toades, but that would have been only based on him voting for prplhz. That´s not necessarily a scum trait, just reading prplhz wrong.

Based on the fact it won't happen that we mislynch iamp.
Koshi, you have to own up on your vote for iamperfection and post it in the voting thread, it doesn´t count otherwise.

@Forumite Explain your meta read on me that makes you 99% sure.
I have a long career of mislynching you after a weak scumread leads me to tunnel and ruin it for town. Since then I interpret weak scumreads on you as strong signs of townieness.


Idk, shouldn't he be townreading Toad based on what he said?
Or where does he draw the line between a weak scumread on prpl and strong one when it comes to Toad?

The way VE entered the thread kinda gives me the feeling he already wanted to call me scum before he read all that stuff.

One point that makes me think of that is that first he called me scummy for reacting poorly to forumite calling me out.
When he realized he actually didn't call me out, he called me scummy for reacting to him in the first place.
It just doesn't make sense that I should react only to guys talking about me, so it just looks like an adjustment after his previous point was made invalid.

His arguments for my reaction being poor were:
Show nested quote +
And look at how he frames it - he's calling the guy mafia in a way that reeks of trying to identify with the crowd. "You're clearly not in the same frame of mind as me and these other guys who are town"


Which is a perfectly fine argument in line with mafia not looking at the game the same way a townie does.
All the way not considering that forumite's preference for Koshi over me or anyone else talking about random stuff has no explanation.

also this thought is usually too in depth for mafia isn't it?


The depth of mafia arguments is up to their creativity, and I wouldn't put it past VE to be creative.
Besides, he says my intention was to identify with a town crowd, when my intention was to show why forum could be scum.
As said, it looks to me like he was just trying to find scum motives behind my play at any cost.

This chain is what I like to see in filters D1. He hits multiple people at the same time and is clearly looking for scum. Good stuff.

i didn't defend forumite early on, i just said that iamp and robik shouldn't jump to conclusion when there could be a good meta read that he just didn't inform the thread of. not providing a reason for your reads isn't scummy, it's not having a reason for them that's scummy.

can you go more into detail with what you like about slOosh' case on forumite?

Because it is D1 and I am working with only 24h of posts.

I am calling out what I see. It is pretty obvious when I think somebody is town anyway which means do not lynch D1/D2, not further unless I explicitely state it.

Basically I want to on top of this game and share my findings because my ideas are too valuable to keep secret in a word file.

He meta reads prplhz, then asks prplhz for his reads.

Stop. Think. Why do you ask people for reads?

You do it because either you want to get a better read on them, or you think they are town and you value their reads. At 99% town, he isn't doing it for the first reason, so it must be the second. But at this point the game just started, and most of the posts were "hahaha jokez" posts, so clearly nothing meaningful to be gleaned off here.

Conclusion: Forumite has a scummy mindset of "asking people for reads looks like activity" but when he does it it looks totally out of place.

Why did ask Forumite prplhz his reads? This is a very good question. SlOosh also believes in this sentence showing a scummy mindset in Forumite. You are trowing away SloOsh his argument that this one sentence makes Forumite scum but have you ever seen a scummer make a case showing off such dept in thought? Remember that this is SloOsh his first post, so one (Robik) could argue that SlOosh is being scum tryharding. You think so as well?

SloOsh reading that one sentence and making an understandable/sheepable case around that one sentence makes me respect SlOosh his scumhunting abilities. Or his scum playing abilities.

Why would I want to lynch somebody who shows me that he can make a case around somebody making 1 bad sentence? Out of fear he plays atypical godly scum? I will pass on that.

tldr:

I also find the "99% sure prplhz is town" into " prplhz please give me your reads" looking awkward.

I didn't see that at until SlOosh pointed it out. I like that SlOosh pointed it out. I like SlOosh.

simple.

Re: Forumite, I didn't like the reasons he said he was suspicious of Koshi - initially it was because of his fluffy riddle posts at the beginning, and he further went on to say that he "hitched onto" Toad's case on Forumite adding his own "complex reasoning" or whatever. So ultimately that's where his vote is.

And his read on prplhz...like, at first he said like "99% sure" and has described him as confirmed town. And the reasoning he gave is pretty bad - but not one I can really argue with because it's based on a personal metric that may or may not be true.

I want to hear others' thoughts on Forumite. I think ultimately I'd rather wait on him, but I might be convinced to lynch him.
Me calling prplhz 99% townie was another way of saying that I´m never considering him for a lynch, I explained that later. Now Toades tunnels because he didn´t get the answer he wanted, honesty wasn´t good enough. Koshi made a convoluted reasoning why I posted what I posted which was basically WIFOM. I´d find it if his filter wasn´t so bloated. Then sloosh sheeps to fake activity and BM votes without reading my posts. Alakaslam sheeps Toades but this one I can at least understand, he found someone he thinks is town and votes the same way.

Bill Murray, you´ve allready voted for me so post it in the thread. No stealth-votes!

My vote stays on Koshi because his case on me is shit. I don´t like Robik either but could be personal because he´s bad mannered. Robiks preemptive OMGUS looks like a good scum move, but I don´t know anything about either Robik, this might be his normal playstyle.

You are making a good case for a SloOsh lynch.

Also, complex case means Town? So that´s why you did that convoluted mess of an accusation against me earlier? You make a complex case (based on nothing) and then state that complex cases are a town tell...

SloOsh reading that one sentence and making an understandable/sheepable case around that one sentence makes me respect SlOosh his scumhunting abilities. Or his scum playing abilities.

Why would I want to lynch somebody who shows me that he can make a case around somebody making 1 bad sentence? Out of fear he plays atypical godly scum? I will pass on that.

No, you should lynch him because he is scum making a bad case on an easy target. Forumite was under a lot of fire already and then slOosh focuses on him asking someone else for reads and says that's scummy. Absolutely not, people do that all the time and people had already done that a lot in thread. It's a big part of how you play this game.

And yes, the case does look tryhard with the "Stop, Think" thing. That doesn't mean much to me but it's worth noting and thats how IAmRobik makes reads anyway as far as I know.

tldr:

I also find the "99% sure prplhz is town" into " prplhz please give me your reads" looking awkward.

I didn't see that at until SlOosh pointed it out. I like that SlOosh pointed it out. I like SlOosh.

simple.

Why on earth is that awkward?

A townie could EASILY think "I think that guy is town, maybe I should ask him for some reads so I can better get a hold of this game", I do that all the time, ask my town reads for their reads so I can better understand the game. Or since it appears that Forumite wasn't 99% sure, maybe he's thinking "Maybe if I ask prplhz for some reads I will become more sure of his alignment". Fact is that people ask each other questions and people were asking each other for reads way before Forumite asked me for my reads.

i didn't defend forumite early on, i just said that iamp and robik shouldn't jump to conclusion when there could be a good meta read that he just didn't inform the thread of. not providing a reason for your reads isn't scummy, it's not having a reason for them that's scummy.

can you go more into detail with what you like about slOosh' case on forumite?

I like the "Stop. Think" part of the case because it makes the case very sheepable and very understandable.

Heyo.

I am not liking the Forumite. Ok are you ready for this?

My metaread says that prplhz 99% confirmed town. Toades, please unvote prplhz, he´s town.

prplhz, I´d like to know your early reads.

I´d rather lynch within 24hrs than 5 minutes before deadline. Rushed lynches suck and never end well. No, I don´t care if scum will hammer early and sway the lynch. If they are reckless then they draw attention to themselves, which is good for us. So start voting.

Koshi spamming, ruining the thread and delaying the lynch, he´s scum or third party and needs to die.

##Vote: Koshi

He meta reads prplhz, then asks prplhz for his reads.

Stop. Think. Why do you ask people for reads?

You do it because either you want to get a better read on them, or you think they are town and you value their reads. At 99% town, he isn't doing it for the first reason, so it must be the second. But at this point the game just started, and most of the posts were "hahaha jokez" posts, so clearly nothing meaningful to be gleaned off here.

Conclusion: Forumite has a scummy mindset of "asking people for reads looks like activity" but when he does it it looks totally out of place.

Why did ask Forumite prplhz his reads? This is a very good question. SlOosh also believes in this sentence showing a scummy mindset in Forumite. You are trowing away SloOsh his argument that this one sentence makes Forumite scum but have you ever seen a scummer make a case showing off such dept in thought? Remember that this is SloOsh his first post, so one (Robik) could argue that SlOosh is being scum tryharding. You think so as well?

I ask prplhz for reads because I want to know what he thinks, why did you think I asked?

Why did you want to know what he thinks? Do you respect his early reads so much that you want to sheep him? Why not ask iamp what he was thinking?

So you think it's a bad question because no one should care what I think?

@prplhz. I disagree.

@Forumite. Why did you ask prplhz for his reads when you were reading him as scum.
I had a good night of sleep.

Both SlOosh and Forumite.

Obviously he is allowed to ask you questions etc etc etc. That's not what this is about. Maybe you are right and this forumite business is nothing. Maybe you are right and SlOosh is scum.

But I disagree with you.


If you want us to be bffs and you want me off this Forumite thing find me something else. Something we both can agree on. SlOosh being opportunistic scum is not that thing.


Otherwise we will have to live with each other in disagreement. Which I don't have a problem with.
