I will barely be posting for the rest of the game as we have absolutely nothing to hide and thus I will allow ExO to give his reads as they will be 100% genuine and not convoluted because he is town and everything that he posts will 100% be his honest opinion. I was thinking on the ride home how I would word this post if we got VT and it sounded way better and less convoluted, but it is what it is. ExO, the floor is yours! your spears of logic they pierce me, darling. | ||

Also, I'll be signing every post of mine with a bolded "-WeDemandALawyer: Haru and GlowingBear" so it gets easier to identify the team. -WeDemandALawyer: Haru and GlowingBear I like you already. Team names at the bottom of posts is a wonderful idea. Not that I've done it yet. | ||

I was actually asleep when he said that, but it's really ridiculous to be riding his ass for that comment when after he said it he proceeded to talk quite a bit. And Robik had a ton of *meaningless posts ftfy It's any town team's responsibility to be as transparent and readable as possible (same as if a townie is on his own). And it's a mafia team's job to be as unreadable as possible. There was a smurf game where I caught VE because he suggested that consolidating posts was a pro-town strategy, when it clearly wasn't. Anyways if Robik plays the game, nothing to worry about, right dear? -M&M | ||

Figure out Robik/Poof/Palmar/rayn on the basis that they'll play properly to some extent (as in, not that no-one else plays properly, i mean if they make an effort) If I find mafia in there, woohoo! If not, it narrows the pool considerably. -M&M | ||

What is your "good read" on OnceKing? Went super-fast through your filter and didn't see it. I assume you are claiming you are clearly town. Why do you think so? -M&M | ||

Also she is on the unofficial DL team, gives her extra town points. -M&M | ||

Yes? Mafia can ask "on point" questions. In fact it's extremely easy to. I've been doing it already. -M&M | ||

You may use it as a secondary argument but to get to the point you have a primary one there is so much game to be played. I think that if we keep discussing this topic it will just a waste of breath. Why do I think it's secondary: a scum can fake claim vt just so he can get townie to accuse him and get mislynched. More than that, a vt can simply try to pressure someone who claimed vt. Why not? -WeDemandALawyer: Haru and Glowingbear So contextually it's beating a dead horse. There's little/no reason to say the bolded -M&M | ||

Then I'm going to bring cases. Expect a big post in around 4 hours since now. Before I go, I must also say that focusing "townhunting" is worse than "scum hunting" in my opinion, because it gets easier to a scum to blend in your town circle and doesn't help to do a good lynch on day1, as you are going to choose who to lynch based on someone you just don't have a strong town read instead of lynching someone you have a strong scumread. Only if you're bad at townhunting. | ||

Given my current contributions to the thread, there is literally no reason for you to think I'm mafia, in fact, you _should_ have a slight townread on me. So for some reason, your thought process isn't natural or clear, or possibly you're trolling. I don't think so. Robik's (?) point about nitpicking on smaller things chimed with me, I remembered that's how you operated in... that game I obsed. With DP. Mostly you tell towns/people they're awful like that when you are mafia, and mostly you call me bad or mafia when you are mafia (bureaucracy, Rock band, the mini me/you/robik were in). The only exception I can think of to this is LVIII which was 2 years ago or something. In the previous newbie game you were staunchly tryhard and nurturing, here you started trolling, tried a bit in the middle, and then told town they're all terrible and you're going away. Is any of this unfair/incorrect? | ||

So it is entirely possible I just call you bad or mafia when you think I'm mafia, regardless of my alignment. have you called town awful in a game since Cell when you were mafia? Even before this conversation you were seeming more prickly than I'm used to seeing you as town, you've been very laid back in most of your towngames of late (except the tryhard nurture game). | ||

Unless I have changed the meta on myself, then you can continue to use that meta read that I've provided. If I trick you in a game by doing this, then from there on out you can question that meta read. But there's no reason to doubt the meta read before I've given you a reason to doubt it. hahahahaha yes this. I literally always defend myself with my own meta even as everyone is telling me I shouldn't. The reason I do it is because my meta is compelling and i have so many games to back myself up.

Few things I noted, mebbe they're useful or will be, maybe not. With slam/sqrt, check how easy the wagon is, I don't see any pushback for the lynch. I don't really get this weird martyring behaviour from a team of 2, you'd expect at least one of them to prop up the other. I don't know what that means. They're both unstable? Or it's a ploy? ?? I'm not used to Slam insulting the thread like this. That doesn't make me feel good. I'm tentatively ok with this lynch but with reservations I guess. Stratiform doesn't look quite so bad. Not sure about Palmar. Not gonna be around to judge him on today's play so meh. Poofter didn't bother playing. Many scumpoints. I've felt ok about bunnies, but Poofter dragging her down. Probably not lynch but I don't trust. Right now I like Haru/Glowing for mafia most. On July 12 2014 14:29 GlowingBear wrote: So, for what I read until now, I have three main targets I want to read more: ExO, Robik and Eden. I'll filter dive them tomorrow, as I didn't have energy enough even to read through 50 long pages. I have a stronger hunch on sqrt/alakaslam, as a lot of people were saying here. Why these guys? Because my way of scumhunting is going through passivity and too much friendly behavior. Going against people there were being quite and being friendly was my best bet on my first game and when I did that most of my readings got the right guys.

I had suspicions on you, which doesn't mean you're necessarily suspicious of overly friendly behavior or passivity... that's why I'll filter dive you, so I can get a better view of what gave me the feeling that you were suspicious. My main scumhunting is attacking passivity/friendly behavior. It's not may only scumhunting method. Throws in random names (Robik, ExO, Eden) and a couple of times states that he scumhunts through passivity and friendly behaviour. These 3 names don't make much (any?) sense in this context. Robik the most abrasive of them all, Eden has been active, ExO's argued his corner firmly enough. His description of what he's looking for -> these 3 names doesn't seem natural to me. He brings up Robik as suspicious again in a later post but again never explains why, again it is the opposite of what he's looking for in mafia. sqrt/Slam may have been passive to some extent maybe? They've been quite prickly too. There seems to be a whole bunch of other targets that conform to his self-professed view. Basically I find the 3 names he throws in, together with his self-styled description of scumhunting, together with how he introduced sqrt/slam as scummy after that, very suspicious indeed. My best bet for mafia right now. | ||

Also you have the other half, which also has played scummy. 2) "Not sure about Cabernet being mafia because no counter-bus.": Assuming Cabernet is mafia (which is super-likely), you only have one other scum team. So it's very possible said other team isn't active about it. It's very possible said team is bussing. But it's also possible they've tried and there's no traction. Possible since not everyone is on Cabernet atm... This is a very WIFOM arguement tbh. 3) "Cabernet has good chance of being mafia, but I dislike person XYZ more.": Cabernet is set to be lynched today, and for good reason. I've seen pretty much no one say they feel good about Cabernet, like they are giving townie vibes. You should lynch them because even if you have a shadow of a doubt, they have literally said they've given up. How do you expect to get a better read at them should they stay alive til LYLO? To those of you who haven't consolidated on Cabernet yet: Vote Team Cabernet. Show them your grapes of wrath. ugh | ||

I'm more curious what you think about the Palmar/Marv/Rayn folks in the game (really excited rayn is back tbh) I read the part where you basically auto confirmed rayn off one post. Still like that read? The interactions that were had between like pages 24-29 (this is the way back machine as I read slow) between Marv/Palmar especially were weird. I feel like one if not both is mafia. I need to read the rest of the thread obviously but I'm curious about your reads on them. (If you've already given them just link the posts for faster viewing if you would be so kind) I hope Poof has explained this between this post and the end of the thread, or it sure does look awfully shit-flingy. | ||

As for the CR/Koshi-case, no way I see a meta-case being stronger than slamroot's antics at this point. :D Haru please (also) explain the questions I raised in my posts -- you can find them from my filter quite easily. ok this is the money question, i was curious when someone was going to bring it up. bunnies came into the thread proclaiming that sqrt/slam were town, but with zero reasoning to back it up, before going on to other ppl. v interesting. Says more than once that it's a mislynch with zero reasoning why actually. | ||

Basically, I townread marv by waiting for him to do something that is really smart. I think he even alluded to it this game, we basically confirm each other as town when he finds something that looks like mafia, and I confirm his suspicion and sheep his case. He hasn't done anything really smart this game or anything that makes me want to lynch him. That doesn't mean he is mafia. I know he is genuinely away today, so he has a perfectly valid excuse. Also his approach to interrogating me felt really fair, as in, he did not want me to look like mafia, he felt like he was simply trying to figure out if I was. I'll go find those posts by nb, and I also have to read the inactive teams (from what I have read). koshi/chairman, and rayn/slender. Might not do it this session though, no rush really. The bolded in particular makes me feel quite a bit better about Plam in general. Mafia (even clever dudes like Plam) really struggle to think like this / look at things like this. | ||

I think anything you wrote could have been written by mafia, but Haru being weird on several occasions has made me leery of lynching you. Take it or leave it my friend ^^ | ||

Palmar (as per above) and Stratiform look ok to me (stratiform's reads post kinda had everywhere about where i'd expect, didn't seem fabricate-y). Robik/Exo look ok I guess. rayn/slendy, koshi/cr, bunnies/poof. rayn/slendy look worse to me simply by virtue of the fact i'm going off haru/glowingbear, and if we take that out of their filter they've done next to nothing. koshi especially will have all day 2 to look town, if he's town he'll be able to do it, if he's mafia he probably won't. sit and see. bunnies is being dragged way down by poofter, who has little redeeming about his play. hate the lazy palmar/me comment that i pointed out. the points OK made about bunnies on the last page are pretty valid as well. | ||

If you told me you weren't capable of coming up with that large post as mafia I wouldn't believe you. | ||

Because I'll tell you for free - it's more likely to come from a townie. | ||

I learnt long ago that in the bullshit -> mafia chain, things are rarely that easy. I'll look at it more tomorrow maybe if we're alive. Regardless I don't think it's outside the MO of how town-Robik operates. | ||

1) never said that 2) if someone does something they might do as town, logically speaking it doesn't make sense to jump to the conclusion that they're mafia just because it's bullshit, as you're doing. *waves hands* | ||

With the rolecop, that is reduced to a pool of 5 players. If both hits go through, that's a pool of 3 players. Assuming they didn't identify the cop from the 4/7 info on day one, they would have one more shot at it on night two. If the jailer hits the cop on night one or night two, the cop would need to live until day four to produce a check, forcing them to survive another lynch and night hit. Even if a cop produces a check, with a parity check, odds are that it produces the alignment of only 1 player. If the jailer produces a successful save on night one or night two, it earns town an additional lynch, though the mafia essentially was given a night one vigilante in the form of a second kp to compensate. If mafia get lynched on day one, then I admit, they're in a really tough spot, but that's going to happen in any 9 player setup. The setup was originally ran as parity cop//doctor, which could possibly considered quite town-favored. I'd say this one was more slightly town favored, although if I had to run it again, I'd possibly make it so that a jail would roleblock the parity cop for the remainder of the game or possibly add in a miller. too paragraphy. Basically in a 9p game (which i am going to take this as) 1 blue role is more than enough for town for a balanced game. Added to that there are hydras which, as proved by Artanis' games, make the game pretty town-favoured (town stomped 8-3 numbers). Add another blue. yeah. Insanely good for town. | ||

Rolecop is super weak. 1 goon/1rb vs 1 PR is what I consider balanced for a game this size And they only conflict with each other with bad luck. I would expect town to win a 2 blue hydra setup like this 3:1 The n1 jail was really weird btw. | ||

You made a protect which had very little chance of making a save. You can carry on thinking that protecting your top townread is the correct play though. | ||

Lol What do y'all consider optimal save strat?

If I had to guess, the double blue roles are a bit harsher for town, than the single blue are for mafia, but probably not as extreme as 25 : 75 like you claim. With a random setup like this, you have to average the possibilities for the overall balance, though ideally the parity cop//doctor one should probably be removed, which Palmar ran originally. Even that game came down to a double LYLO, rather than being won by blue actions. Towns are superior to how they used to be. | ||

Maybe I misread/got tunnel but I felt like we were by far doing the most work itt doing most work != best asset. You both lynched a town with utter certainty. That isn't a slight on your play or anything, shit happens. But you'd both been proven to be demonstrably very wrong. I mean I got NK after my final reads on N1 which were that all townies were town and both mafia were in a pool of 3. | ||

When certain vets like that are not clear town, they are actually more likely to take a hit because the mafia team can be more confident that their shots will go through. lol! I love your stats kita. | ||

But your problem comes when your other head is someone who 'tried to act scummy but became too scummy'. I dragged you down this game, sorry! actually I thought you were town when I died and idk about Glowing. I think Glowing just needed to relax which I think he did as the game went on a bit. Don't be nervous. | ||
