You know the balance of this game better than me (I haven't even played it) but although mafia won the last two games won't this game be even more difficult for town since mafia can kill one of the four people in the cell?
Feel free to not talk about this until after the game though, I'll play it either way ^^ and I don't want to put you as a host in a position where you need to talk about strategy before the game begins. And I have only lightly skimmed prior games so I'm sure we can even things out with smart town play :D

D1 is just mayor elections, no lynch.
No N0, game starts D1.
First lynch is on D2, of which one will die on N1.
Mayor selects the order of the cells.


So mayor selects the order at the end of D1?

initial thoughts from prior games-

I'd prefer to put Cell C (my cell) on Day 3 since Marv and Oats are experienced and hopefully will be active enough to have good filters to work with. Day 3 seems ideal to me because it means that there is more accountability for what they post (since one of us is flipped) and I am hoping you'll all see I'm town by then.
Day 4/5 is alright I guess because I think I make more use of filters/prior quotes than other players, so if I'm around longer it means more filter to use. But, 3 would be my pick.

I wouldn't mind Cell E going earlier because in the games I've read/played with her, ninjabunnies tends to be more active early game and less active on later days. lilwade has been lower-activity regardless of the game day. Dunno Apathy.

I've played with him in Catastrophe (I remember him calling me out as 3p on the first day which I was super thankful for)
I cohosted in Order (I remember he caught mafia D1 and then got roleblocked as rolecop forever and things crashed and burned)

I read a few other ones, I remember him mostly sheeping in a recent one.

Based on the 'content' here I guess here are my thoughts:

As to throwing their hat in the rink for mayor, my impression is that who is selected as mayor is relatively unimportant since the ordering of cells is something we should all talk about and decide. I guess I'd give a townlean to them for making themselves the center of attention by starting a campaign.
I do like that Apathy seems into engaging with the ordering of cells along with his campaign, but it's hard to tell whether he is being serious.

ritoky copied his post and style in his 'freedom' thing which could be scummy - if I was mafia, I would want to try to keep consistent to my prior games and working off a similar approach seems like a way to do it. I don't really find this compelling though, since I figure town would probably be consistent without worrying about it.

Besides that? I feel like I should be able to figure out who not really holyflare is from the post with Korea but I haven't yet.

@Apathy:
Why is D a more sensible start than any other cell?

Also, if you feel C is easier to read you should agree with me that it should be in the first three.
If a cell is relatively easier to read, it should be in the first three days so we can be sure we get a vote on it.

@Apathy:
To me, the suggestion of Cell D earlier seems off because there are two unknowns off the bat. Granted, I am pretty sure I know who Not Really Holyflare is now, but I don't think you do. It seems to me that cell would be tougher to read.

I'm also a little mixed on your response -

As not having Cell B on D1... that explanation feels kinda weird to me.
I don't think there's any cell where I know now that I can read all three players.
If we can read two, that's enough. So why highlight one player you can't read?

I think this happened with some other people (foolishness, maybe gumshoe) and at least one flipped town, maybe both.
Anyway they were just reaching deadline in the newbie game so I wouldn't chalk it up to much.

That said I still think E earlier may be better since Apathy is fairly active and I feel bunnies should be.

@BH:
I do not disagree with the logic behind the ordering, but you ignore what (I think) is more important - that we are guaranteed to reach at least Day 3, but not Day 5.
So let me ask you this - which groups do you think are likely to be the easiest to read? The hardest?

@BH:

I feel like your ordering is strongly based on the idea that marv will lead lynches in a good way / scumhunt well.

But, even under that approach isn't it beneficial to put Cell C before D5? That way at least there's some indication as to the authenticity of marv's reads.

@BH:
You answered the ones you felt would be hardest to read and I pretty much agree with you.
But, which group do you think will be the easiest for town to read?

It seems like most people feel it's C. If that's the case, it should be in the first three.

Moreover, if there was one group where I felt 100% certain we'd get mafia, I'd probably want that group to third.
That way I know:
(1) the group is reached, so we get a point for town; and
(2) at least one mafia is known and that information can be evaluated in at least the following day; and
(3) the reads of two players in the cell are validated -- the only way we get absolute authenticity of a read is if we lynch the mafia (if we lynch a town, we don't know with certainty which of the two survivors was mafia).

For D vs. E, I don't have a huge preference... as I said earlier, ninjabunnies seems to be more active early and less active later on, so I'd like E to be earlier in the game. But, I don't care all that much if it's D1 vs D2 - I think bunnies dropped off activity D2 in Detention when you were hosting for us so D1 is slightly better in my opinion.

For the DEACB / DEACB platforms, I'll think about it. Not enough impression of A/B yet.

Here's another way to look at this which I think supports having C earlier in the order

We need 3 correct lynches to win. It doesn't matter whether those wins are D1, D2, D3 or are D3, D4, D5, or whatever.
Thus, the most important thing is to order things such that at least 3 cells have the highest chance of success for lynching mafia.

Let's assume for a second that Cell C is the easiest to read (and I can't say for certain that's true but I'll run with it for this example). If the cell didn't have people with high activity/content, I would typically want that cell to be first. Not because we need to start with a win, but because then we would be most likely to get verifiable information earlier.
If we lynch correctly D1, then we know one mafia and two town on four days.
If we lynch correctly D3, then we only have that information for two days.

However, in this case people are saying that the easiest cell to read is also the cell with players that are likely to give high contributions and sure, that has weight too. But, I feel like if there is a cell that is the easiest to read, I absolutely wouldn't vote for it to be last.

I don't understand how you can think that a group is an easy read and not want it in the first three days.
Imagine there’s five groups. Three are “hard” and in these groups we have a 40% chance to lynch properly. Two groups are “easy” and in these groups we have an 80% chance to lynch properly.

Now, pick between these orders:
1) 40%, 40%, 40%, 80%, 80%
2) 80%, 80%, 40%, 40%, 40%

Ordering 2 is better. Better chance to win by odds. And even if we mislynched D1-3, order 2 is better because it reduces the chance of us getting swept 3-0, which means more days of play, which means more posts & information.

If a cell is on the easier side, it should somewhere within D1-D3.

@Oats: Am I a happy person? Yeah, I think so, plus this has been a pretty great week for me.
Question for you:
So far a lot of the people in thread seem to want to sheep marv. Is this good?




@marv: Do you think our cell should be last? Why?

My post above addresses what BH wrote -
all of you guys who are trying to order groups based on how easy or hard they are are missing the point. all that matters is which people we want to have alive at the end.

This is provably wrong.

@Apathy:
I don't live in the future so I can't really predict how reads will change. If you admit to being scum on D2, I'll wish your cell was D2.

I think putting Cell B last is pretty good since Wave & HolyFlare are decently active and I don't feel that confident on being able to read that cell.
I don't have a ton of experience with Wave or HF, and I don't feel MysteryMeat1 is an easy scum pick. To explain, he was mislynched as town in three of his five games in the database and I felt there were decent arguments for his play as scummy in those games. I'm not sure the best way to read him right now, but I'm fine with the idea that I don't have to.

Going to vote for Holyflare on the EADCB / AEDCB ticket. I should be back around before deadline.

@Anyone else who said Cell C was an easy cell to read - this was at least NotReallyHolyflare and I think also Apathy
Why do you feel this is the case?
I have never been scum on forum mafia, so I don't see why it would be easy to read me as town/scum. Even if marv is easy to read, do you feel that confident about reading Oats? Give some basis on this

@bunnies: For the moment let's ignore the implications of BH reversing his cell ordering on his alignment (though it's something I'd like to come back to).
batsnacks, marvellosity, WaveofShadow, and Professor Apathy all voted for Blazinghand without really making an argument or noting the (what I think was fairly obvious) slip. Does this mean anything to you on their alignment?

I don't have a great sense of the cell yet, but I think ritoky's posts (talking to/about Holyflare mostly) more than batsnacks' posts. I don't really have a sense of batsnacks from reading him yet.

Is the idea that serious ritoky = town, silly ritoky = scum? Or just that serious ritoky = town?

@WaveofShadow:
Man you seem so down this game, every post makes me feel like you just lost to some hearthstone boss on heroic. I don't think your cell is solved (MM1 is not always towny when he's town, Blazinghand may be able to give some insight on this) but we can worry about it again a little later in the game.

You talked a little on ritoky & blazinghand. Any thoughts on batsnacks?


Thought on ritoky-
I'm just going to say that although Not really holyflare's post is the kind of thing that would normally make me think he's scum, I feel like knowing the player makes it not the case.
If I have to out who I am fairly sure he is a little later I will do so, but I do kinda like that ritoky picked up on that post (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=33#657).

I'm out for a bit :3

I didn't say that made him scum, and I didn't vote for him. If you had read my next posts you'd see that I was looking at ritoky and batsnacks. It's something to bring up, see how BH responds, and then make reads accordingly.

If you found that post worth commenting on, why don't you weigh in on the way that batsnacks / marvellosity / WaveofShadow / Apathy voted for BH and their explanation (or lack thereof)?

How is amiko attempting to get reads? He made up his mind already. With no conversation with any of the parties

Oh I meant to put this in the above post too, do you really think my last few posts (asking people about BH's post and about other players in Cell A) somehow indicates I've made up my mind already? :|
Anyway it's not worth spending much more time on you right now since we are D5 anyway

Where do you get that I'm 'down' from my posting? Also what exactly would that make me if I were, and why?

As far as batsnacks goes, guy is likely town. Acting like an idiot in the face of everybody likely thinking you're scummy and/or dumb is way more often a towny trait. Despite the stubbornness.


You seem mopey and not too engaged from your posts. Like, you seemed to feel the mayor phase was really tiresome and didn't seem to engage (ex: although you were asking people to vote for you I don't think you ever really discussed ordering even jokingly?) despite posting a couple times through the phase.
I didn't really intend to use your mood for a read though, I just felt like you wanted to play but didn't feel into it so I wanted to see what you thought on some of the D1 and you had already commented a little on BH/ritoky but nothing on snacks. Since I have no particular read on batsnacks yet I was curious.

@bunnies:
It's been so long since I've ridden a bike I don't think I can give you any guidance for the tires :D

I don't really like Apathy/Marv's vote on BH because I don't really understand the "misguided" comment at all.
It doesn't really make much sense to me when
(1) batsnacks votes Blazinghand
(2) Apathy + marv say batsnacks is [u]misguided[u], then vote for Blazinghand
And when reading batsnacks I didn't really see what there was to be misguided (or correctly-guided) about in his non-crazy posts.

I get what you are saying about PA voting HF for mayor then seeing HF as mafia, but those two things honestly feel kind of unrelated to me. I voted for HF, but it wasn't because I felt he was more town, it was more because the order he provided seemed more likely to get two things I was hoping for him (E first, C fourth).
It doesn't matter much now, but in retrospect I think voting for a player that gives potential choices (such as indicating they may pick one of two choices) rather than a firm ordering is bad for town... but that's a lesson to try to remember in Cell 4, I guess.

If ritoky has always been town in forums I'll probably focus more on just this game from him to try to get reads.

Oh that's simple-
Four people voted on BH - (1) batsnacks, (2) apathy, (3) marv, (4) you.

I don't feel I'll get too much from talking to (1) batsnacks (given that his rationale was VOTE BH GAME EZ).
I questioned (2) apathy & (3) marv because I don't feel their rationale makes sense (I don't see how they see batsnacks as misguided)
I asked (4) you about your rationale because you actually discussed ritoky and BH a little in your post, so I wanted to know your thoughts since you indicated you had decided between the three and hadn't given an explanation of a player I can't read yet (batsnacks).

Btw, the fact that the post I put above on Blazinghand is super obvious and also 2 of the first 4 posts of his filter makes me think that the people who were voting for him didn't read his filter at all.

this post obviously means that you think its scummy and that hes scum.
You are just avoiding taking a stand because its 'suspicious'.
In fact, your pussyfooting around the lynch is really weird considering you appear to have made your decision and are just waiting for the right time and feel to vote. Or want to wait for a better candidate to appear.

Again this.
Show nested quote +
batsnacks, marvellosity, WaveofShadow, and Professor Apathy all voted for Blazinghand without really making an argument or noting the (what I think was fairly obvious) slip. Does this mean anything to you on their alignment?


You think that the slip is a reason to vote for BH. Therefore the slip is scummy. You maintain the stance that you dont really know who is scum.
Inconsistent.


The inconsistency from Blazinghand is a reason to vote for him. But it's not the only thing I'm thinking about and I certainly didn't conclude 100% scum from that post.
Btw, here's another post (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/445571-doctor-who-mafia-2?page=130#2582) which is a bit similar - in that game I'm town, I point out phrasing by hopeless1der that looks like a mafia slip in the context of the game. However, I do not find him the most scummy player and instead nuke kitaman27. I point this out because the context is the same (someone does something that seems like a blatant slip, but I do not put a ton of reliability on it... I even used the same :| face).
Anyway there's more I have to say about BH, I'll do that in a minute

If marv's was a defence then it's purely chainsaw because he barely makes mention of MM1 at all. So yes, intriguing I suppose especially since he took back the 'bolded' comment after.

As far as amiko I read him pretty strongly as town so far, though I should ask (if you're still here amiko)---you seem to have more to say regarding MM1 than anyone else so far especially since you're not even in his cell. What's the deal with that?


I don't actually feel like I have said (or have much) to say on MM1 yet - basically, I just feel like he'd be the easiest target in your group because he doesn't scream town when he's town. Since there was sentiment that your cell was solved, I wanted to point out that it may not be so easy. I haven't actually reviewed MM's games though, so what Holyflare was saying regarding his posting style may be correct, I probably won't look at MM's history until later in the game though.

I mention this because I figure that among marv & oats, I'd think they'd be more likely to try to mislynch me than each other since I have less experience in the game. And, if they remember any experience with me, the only game we played together, Catastrophe, I did not appear towny at all (to be fair, it wasn't in my interest to appear towny).
That said, oats' post on me feels more scummy since he seems to be misconstruing my comments in a way to present me as mafia. If I had to pick right now, I'd say oats is the scum in our cell.

As for apathy, I'm really not sure but I had a pretty good feeling on him D1 despite some posts that I disagreed with (putting Cell E at the end, for example). For Cell E, I think I need to talk to bunnies more to get a good sense of her.

Amiko whenever you return: why were you questioning my order like it was something i changed when I've pasted the order I'm doing several times over? Also it's the order you were originally ok with iirc (maybe a and d were switched which would be even weirder).

I feel like your questions don't really lead to anything alignment indicative, especially as I'd already elaborated why i did the order i did. Is there something you were looking for?


I was disappointed because there were essentially two choices you left open for yourself (Spot 1/2 as E or A, Spot 4/5 as C or B) and you picked the order I didn't want in both cases. This doesn't make me think you are scum, but it made me consider that electing a mayor who leaves options open in a vote is not town favored - IMO the mayoral election should essentially be voting for an order, not voting for a person, but leaving some things to your discretion make it more voting for a person.
That said, I agree it probably doesn't lead anywhere alignment indicative and to be honest I don't care about it that much right now anyway.

Back in thread for a while-

@Oats - Re: whether scum!Blazinghand gives up

I skimmed his filter in the games where he was lynched D1-
(Mafia) In "I'm a Cop You Idiot Mafia" (filter) I think he did, pg 2-4 of his filter basically came across as saying screw you town. In that game, his attitude seems to be that his lynch is a sure thing.

Compare to (Town) Aperture 2 (filter) where he often states that he won't be the lynch and defends.

In (Town) Noir (filter) he was town and thought he was being counterclaimed by mafia. I feel like he wasn't as defiant about getting lynched, but it makes a little more sense because he was assuming that he was trading 1-1.

I only looked at the ones where he was lynched D1, don't know about if he gave up when lynched later.
Anyway from a meta-view I feel it is more consistent with scum giving up and being angry at town than town. It's certainly possible to he's moving, but with over a day left until the lynch it seems to me like it's too early to have thrown up his hands.

I didn't see that - I only read your filter from games where you were lynched d1 (as town or mafia) - from your filter I thought you and another player had both cc'd cop in that game. If it's improper context then I'm fine disregarding that game. Are there other games you can point to on whether you give up as mafia?

It looked like you had one or two defensive posts on the date but the style is so unlike yours (tons of ellipsis and more rambling) that it's hard to say. Anyway Yuma seems like a good enough example anyways...




Looking at those I don't feel strongly persuaded one way or the other, but it does make me feel that as mafia you may accept a lynch on you.

also read the damn post you linked from yoso, you call that giving up?? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/448443-you-only-shoot-once-mafia?page=60#1199

as a final note, this is normally where the player defending himself swears on his honor that he's town and not making his IRL excuse up. I have no honor, so such a promise from me is meaningless. I can swear this though: on my honor as a dude who's willing to lie and make up IRL excuses, there's no way in hell I'd make this up as scum when I could make up something much better

on my honor as an unscrupulous player, I would never go with such an inconvenient story as scum. this story is the truth


On YOSO, I don't call that post giving up, but it's hard to consider it a serious defense when you start talking about pets in your next few posts.

Anyway I don't particularly disbelieve that you are moving... but I still feel like you probably should be able to play the game more than you have.

It's an indicator but it's not much for me to work with. Batsnacks' posts feel like they can be trolling or silly as easily as it could be mafia.
Anyway, I mean for me I understand that there is value in engaging in a thread as town - it helps people see your thought process and hopefully townread you. But I've seen plenty of players lurk but not be mafia, and plenty of players who post random stuff and not be mafia. I get what you are saying (batsnacks isn't making it easier for me) but eh it's not enough to persuade me that much one way or the other.

What about bunnies' play do you feel is not her scum meta?

I don't feel her play this game is consistent with the town games I've seen from her. As town, I remember her pressuring other players D1 pretty early. This game she seems to have been joking for long after most players has started getting more active into the game, her posts all seem responsive rather than scumhunting.

However, that obviously was not your reason to vote him, because you voted him at the beginning of the day. So why did you vote him?

Does that mean I don't get an answer?

I don't think your reason for townreading Apathy is good - him giving up his smurf easily means almost nothing when other players already said they figured out who he was (I think from that anime picture)?
Anyway he is likely to be town IMO, but more because his d1 felt pretty good and bunnies' play feels pretty scummy to me.

@Wave
Because if I poke him he answers my question whether he intends to be a jerk or not.

Maybe he is still voting Blazinghand partly because BH has done so little, but that couldn't have been his reason when the day started (because BH hadn't done nothign yet)

Since he's said he doesn't feel that BH is scummy for not leading town, it indicates to me his reasoning is that he still townreads batsnacks, or feels that Blazinghand's low activity is scummier than batsnacks' activity.
Imo batsnacks' last few posts don't look that good to me so he feels scummier.

@marv
What do you think of the content batsnacks actually posted?
Have you considered it or are you just set on voting Blazinghand because of his non-activity?

If you can convince me batsnacks' last few posts are better than I thought I'm open to moving to Blazinghand.

Btw let's just point out the irony:
Marv is able to be a dick and not answer questions because it is his "meta" that he will ignore your questions.
Marv wants to vote Blazinghand because he doesn't want Blazinghand to be able to get away with not playing the game.

Btw this is not indicative to me of an alignment. More indicative of personality >:D

Also, if someone can convince me that bat's listpost is far from scummy, I might be willing to switch to BH.

Ugh I hate when people do this. It looks really scummy, like you're hoping that somebody makes an excuse for you to vote a towny (not that BH is necessarily).

Yeah I understand that, but if marv is going to try to lead town at the end of D1 I'd like to think he's actually read one of the few posts from batsnacks that has substance.

If you don't understand why me, and others, voted BH then I won't be able to explain it to you. Sorry.

Bunnies has been in the past more conversational as scum and less analytical.

I voted BH at the beginning of the day because I thought ritoky and me were the towniest d1. I kept voting BH because there was no reason to switch.


I'm fine with your explanation on Blazinghand.

It seems to me that bunnies has been fairly conversational and not very analytical (sort of the reverse of what you are describing) - can you flesh that out a little bit?

Back in thread should be here through deadline.

@Blazinghand:
Can you share your read on WaveofShadow?
I'm interested in this because he seemed more persuaded by the pregame-ingame inconsistency with your cell ordering.

blazeit420mlgnoscopehand, i don't really find anything particularly damning per se about you. however, i have a couple concerns: and this is also in regards to what you said about bunnies vote earlier. when there was a wagon on you, a great many people had still not voted in the thread, and were holding their votes waiting. then suddenly a counterpush comes onto bats, and a whole lot of people throw their votes down in the opposite direction. yet the reasoning behind the counterpush doesn't seem strong enough to garner all these votes in my eyes. so my concern is that a couple mafia were waiting to see if they had to nail you in your coffin or if something could happen to shove it the other way. this is exactly what happened to meapak last cell game and surprisingly enough it was led by holyflare who seems to be a prime contributor to this one. can you please ease these concerns of mine?


This was something I was thinking about earlier, but I felt like more people would have jumped onto Blazinghand following the me pointing out the inconsistency pre-game and in-game if that was the case.

Bunnies
Before I get into the comments since yesterday I want to explain how I am thinking on bunnies-

I've played two games with her, Newbie LV and Detention Mafia.
Here's my general meta-thoughts on those games:

Newbie LV as VT:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/447955-newbie-mini-mafia-lv#14
+ Show Spoiler +

In day 1, bunnies points out a potential contradiction by yell0w in one of her first few posts, votes for him, and pushes on the point and discusses it with other players. She comments on other players’ votes (for instance, on Eden doing a reaction test sort of vote) while still questioning other players on yell0w. She comments on other peoples’ cases, agreeing at times, disagreeing at times. She even engages on points that she doesn’t understand asking what they are about or where they are going.

Town:She is active with fairly good post quality who pressures other players D1.

Detention Mafia as VT:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/451317-detention-mafia
+ Show Spoiler +

In day 1, bunnies joins in pressuring jabberwockzerg for a weird sort of contradiction/comment, votes for him, and pushes on the point and discusses it with other players. She is relatively active through day 1. She isn’t focused on just one player, either - for instance, mid-day she does a reaction test and proposes me as a second wagon,
To be fair, her day 2 is pretty nonactive and mostly sheeps me.

Town:She is fairly active and pressures other players D1

I didn't play in Cell II, I was obs and ended up not reading the game. I skimmed the first couple pages and here are my impressions:
Cell Mini Mafia II as mafia:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/449768-cell-mini-mafia-ii
+ Show Spoiler +
My impression is that bunnies was relatively active. Less pressure than in the two games above, and more short posts, but they were still more focused on the game. If you look at these posts (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/449768-cell-mini-mafia-ii?page=60#1188 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=21434380 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/449768-cell-mini-mafia-ii?page=61#1219 ) she is engaging more actively with the people up for lynch than I think she ever did during our last vote.

Mafia: She is active and analytic on other players.



Batsnacks had raised the idea of a change in analytic vs conversational tone; I don’t find this persuasive. It seems to me she's been both analytical and conversational in each of the three games above, so even if she's not very analytic now it doesn't lead me anywhere.

I do suspect bunnies, though, because I feel the player I was with in two games would have picked up on my point on Blazinghand earlier and used it to pressure BH. Her response was a little different, more dismissive of the slip-

SO I caught up.

Nothing really interests me.

The BH "slip"? might be something to look at, but is that a slip or just a change of mind?

I tend to find town more slip like that than mafia in their way of thinking. Mafia are more calculated.

Amiko is pretty much town for me atm as well.
Like, I'm not sure if I've actually played an amiko mafia game, but I wouldn't lynch him this game.


This post is mixed to me.
On the one hand, I think her comment dismissing the slip is understandable. In the two games I discussed above, both players who seemed to have slipped (yell0w and jabberwockzerg) were town. But, in those games, bunnies still pressured the players on those slips and drew reads on them and the other players. I don't see that here.

@Holyflare / @WaveofShadow: You played in Cell II, do you have any thoughts on the above?



I haven't really read the thread since I last posted so if I change my mind on things I'll let you know, but I wanted to at least get my bunnies-thoughts written out.

@bunnies: Your D1 posts indicate that you were scumreading ritoky. I haven't checked all the pages, but I don't think anyone else was really scumreading him. When you later said you felt he was more town, what did he do to make you feel that way?

Ninjabunnies votes

3. Amiko, if you think BH was scum, how am I scum with him when I voted him?


Ninjabunnies votes twice on D2 - once on Ritoky, once on Blazinghand.

When ninjabunnies voted blazinghand, the vote count became:
batsnacks (6): Oatsmaster, Blazinghand, WaveofShadow, Not really holyflare, Professor Apathy, Amiko
Blazinghand (5): batsnacks, marvellosity, Holyflare, your mom, 27ninjabunnies
Ritoky (0): 27ninjabunnies

(I counted those myself so if I got it wrong let me know)

If Blazinghand is mafia, which feels more likely to me than ritoky, I think this does help a case for ninjabunnies as town because the votes were close when she would have voted for a mafia ally (3 votes outstanding).
Not conclusive of course, but I do think it's a fair point.

Oh btw although bunnies was in Golden Sun & Order, I really don't remember those games in a way that's relevant. I know in Order she was low activity toward the end of the game, I just posted the two I remembered better (because I played them) and cell because it's closer to this game and she was mafia there. If they disprove my points or something, bunnies you should let ke know.

Amiko, why do you think Prof is town, and what do you think of lilwade?


I'm not all that certain on either one.

Apathy is largely a feeling read. I guess if I try to identify the posts that made me feel good, I'd point to:
(1) Seemed willing to coordinate or compromise on D1 for mayoral votes
(2) Was questioning of bunnies D1, which was someone I felt was suspicious
(3) Provided seemingly thoughtful answers to the positions he took D1

Mafia could do those things, too, but it gives him an edge to me over bunnies (who seems suspicious to me for reasons above and general feel).

For lilwade I'll make another post in a few minutes I have to check his timings

On lilwade-

Voting
Lilwade votes on BH once in thread, then a second time in the vote thread after I pointed out he didn't vote there.
In either vote, I think it would make the split 8-5 (with Batsnacks leading and Lilwade voting for Blazinghand)
+ Show Spoiler +

1) Vote count if he had voted when he posted in thread-
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=62#1235

batsnacks (8): Oatsmaster, Blazinghand, WaveofShadow, Not really holyflare, Professor Apathy, Amiko, batsnacks, Holyflare
Blazinghand (5): marvellosity, your mom, 27ninjabunnies, damdred, lilwade


2) Vote count if he had voted when he posted in the vote thread
batsnacks (8): Oatsmaster, Blazinghand, WaveofShadow, Not really holyflare, Professor Apathy, Amiko, Holyflare, your mom,
Blazinghand (5): marvellosity, 27ninjabunnies, damdred, batsnacks, lilwade

Doesn't tell me too much

Activity
In terms of his activity, yeah it's low.
In Newbie LVII he was on his fourth page of filter by the start of Day 2. This game he's still on his first page.
I won't really comment on LVIII since I'm hosting it.

Other stuff
Dude, I don't know. He seems focused on the people in his cell, which feels somewhat towny to me (in the same way focusing on a lynch does).
But it's hard to say he's been actively pushing reads on them or trying to get much from it.

I guess I understand ritoky's point about lilwade coming into the thread as a ballsy move, but honestly I don't see how that's substantially better than not posting at all.

Honestly just not strongly convinced either way. I guess it's more that I recognize some things with bunnies that feel off, Toad feels a little town, lilwade not sure.

Just noting that mysterymeat voted in the thread for bunnies, but not in the voting thread-

He isn't voting bunnies in the vote thread, but if you were to consider him as voting for bunnies it would confirm at least one mafia is voting on bunnies currently (HolyFlare and WaveofShadow are also voting for bunnies)

I'm not really sold on lilwade or bunnies yet, but worth noting if only so mysterymeat votes int he right place. I'm probably going to do some brainless stuff (league / hearthstone / etc) tonight and take another crack at the game tomorrow.

The point isn't that he voted in one place and not the other, it's that everyone in his cell is voting (or trying to vote) for bunnies, so obviously at least one mafia is voting or trying to vote for bunnies.
This doesn't give any indication that it's voting town or mafia but was considering it since when we were talking about d2 earlier it wasn't the case (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=65#1281)

Why is this relevant?


It's conditionally relevant to reading your cell -
Let's say all three of you vote ninjabunnies, she is lynched, and she flips mafia. I.e., if we get confirmation that mafia bussed. This can be relevant in a few ways, such as:
- This can inform reads on the three of you if we look at things like how firm your votes were (as mafia voting for a mafia ally may want to leave himself some wriggle room).
- Looking at the database now, Mysterymeat hasn't played a game as mafia. But, this can inform a meta read on players as to whether they'd be likely to vote for a teammate
- Consider whether mafia would vote for bunnies when (imo) lilwade is a viable lynch as well.

It may not be relevant, it may be relevant, but it's something I'll probably forget about if I don't note it.

on lilwade's activity-

Holyflare I sorta disagree with your first point, I don't feel he's been substantially more active in one game over another. He's still on his first page of filter in both games. He has 10 posts this game (not including pregame) and 18 posts that game (not including pregame), but the length is pretty close, frankly. Quite a few posts which are just voting.

I'm not saying he didn't post more that game, but it doesn't feel like such a substantial difference that it's convincing to me.

I think maybe the better point is that in his first newbie he was more active, openly posted reads, and was town (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/462654-newbie-mini-mafia-lvii?user=lilwade&view=all)
In his second newbie he was less active, posted few reads and not much analysis, and was scum.
In this game, I think he's also been less active, posted fewer reads and not much analysis.

I think the meta case for both makes them lean scum so I'm not really sure, I'll try to vote in the next hour or so since I think I will be out at deadline

There's a fair chance we lose today so if all three of the people in the Cell up for lynch can be active that'd be a nice change of pace for the game. I'd like at least one day where everyone is playing ._.

I have never been scum on forum mafia, so I don't see why it would be easy to read me as town/scum. Even if marv is easy to read, do you feel that confident about reading Oats? Give some basis on this


Yes. Oats is like 99.9999% scum now because I think you're town.

Because I trust that you may be 99.9999% town, ill sheep you for catching a mistake that bh shouldn't have done.

Bat posted. Not scum.
Ritoky MIGHT be scum because his town was analytical. This is bullshit ritoky.

Anyway, scratch that. Ritoky is scum.

##Vote: ritoky

For this post, there's a couple weird things I'd like you to explain.

1) You indicate that you will sheep me, but then vote for ritoky. wassup with that.

2) You scumread oats on the grounds that you read me as town. This implies that you also townread marv. I don't really see you townreading marv from any of your other posts, though - most suggest that you are counting on WaveofShadow or Holyflare to read Marv. So, did you townread marv at that time? When and why?

Damdred looks good to me, though I think his post on your mom above is actually pretty weak- I basically feel it boils down to voting the wrong person both times - sheeping popular opinion itself doesn't seem scummy to me; I mean, it can be towny to sheep popular opinion when popular opinion is right.

Your mom still feels the best, I'll read some more later but I don't mind putting a vote in for now.

Voting for pressure isn't my style, and I don't think holding back my a vote on NRHF is likely to pressure him when there's already four votes on your mom and it's obvious he's the main leader.

As far as I can tell, I'm the only one in the game who knows who NRHF is a smurf of, is there a reason no one else seems to care at all?
I mean, I don't care too much about who 'your mom' is a smurf for because he's posted so little content that it's hard to imagine I can make much of a meta read on him (even lilwade had more to work with and that meta read was wrong anyway). I dunno, maybe town is already writing the game off as a loss, I guess I kind of understand that.

@Damdred: Can you give reads on the next two cells?
Frankly I don't expect to get to Cell C but it'd be nice to hear you talk about marv & oats

Maybe he revealed who he was in your qt? ^^

I don't feel like knowing who he is has strongly affected my sense of him this game, though, and it's not like anyone has pushed on him or asked me for my read of him. Afaik he has no scum games on TL anyway.

As with too many things, I can't really call it scummy that no one is inquisitive because clearly neither town nor mafia cares.

are you actually a dumbass HF? If all people from the cell vote for bunnies, or course one mafia is voting on their partner. The fact is bunnies was probably mafia, as no one voted for apathy. Either we just got rolled or bunnies was mafia. Same thing with ritoky. You also did the same thing iirc, you voted on your partner and then used some dumb excuse to switch your vote to a town


His point is that your statement assumes that bunnies is mafia;
If Apathy was mafia, then mafia did not vote for their partner.

Compare your phrasing - "Im just wary that we know at least one mafia is voting on their partner."
to my phrasing "...obviously at least one mafia is voting or trying to vote for bunnies. This doesn't give any indication that it's voting town or mafia..."

Idc though if we aren't going to have any activity then hopefully game will end today.

@NRHF:
Oh yeah then I was mistaken. I thought you were imaginary, but you are not (you are minus notflare). For some reason I thought he was a lover but come to think of it I guess he is not. That makes sense, though, I hadn't played with him for a while but he tended to do more frequent and shorter reads.
I am pretty sure I have it now, though the scum play I saw from you is hard feels difficult to apply to another game, lol. I'll take a look though >:3

@WaveofShadow / Holyflare:
Marv was killed as town N2 in Heavyweight III.
Did you feel he was easy to read as town in that game?

@NRHF:
I do want Holyflare, and maybe WoS/marv to know who you are to read you so please reveal yourself by then or I'll just do it. I still think you are pretty town so it's not a huge deal but eh you should do it if only to see if it gives you any helpful responses.
Also lemme know what you think of Cell B :3

@WoS:
I've only been in 3-player LYLO once and won, but I picked wrong in Dr. Who (I don't actually remember if we knew it was LYLO though) and probably would have picked wrong in Detention if I'd stayed alive.

Really, all town (myself included I guess) are really screwing up. For town to win it means we have to lynch right in all three remaining cells. So honestly, everyone alive should be looking at all the remaining cells now since we'll never have this many town players available to look at the game. I.e. it's almost as important that people talk about Cell B & C now as it is to talk about the current cells.

Since Holyflare & WoS are supposed to be good at reading marv and at least one is town, do you have any comments on him?

My view of Oats is that it feels like most of his memorable posts are tunnelling me, but in retrospect I guess he posted some on marv as well. I'll try to write something about it.

@Oats:
Since you are sheeping marv on the off chance we get to day 5 I'll be asking you to vote on marv and letting me hammer. So let's talk till you realize the error of your ways.

- Did that question about me being happy early game have any significance?

- What do you think of the conversations between you and marv while blazinghand was up for lynch?
I didn't see an answer from marv to your question as to whether whether Blazinghand gave up as scum, but not too much else to say.

- As I see it, you thought I was suspicious on D2 based on thinking that although I had decided to vote Blazinghand, I hadn't voted. I don't understand this because (1) I think it's fairly obvious I was asking questions regarding the other players before you ever raised that point and (2) I don't real see why voting early or late seems suspicious, anyway. I guess a mafia player in Cell 4/5 could vote at the last minute to get a mislynch (and then just hope to get two more before that Cell ever comes up), but I don't see anyone as having done that so otherwise it seems null to me.

- If you think voting early or late is a scumtell, why is that any more valid than BH's slip pre-game and during-game? It seems to me the other 'slip' would be more reliable.

- If you think voting late is a scumtell, why aren't you reading any other players who voted late as scummy?

^^^^ toad case THAT ALSO RELATES TO LILWADE WTF WADE ALSO VOTES BH OVER BSNACKS so bs reason to switch. Current wagon at time: bunnies with sentiment to wade ..... current vote: bunnies


Eh, I don't really agree with this one. I was looking at the votes for that vote and my thoughts were basically-

Bunnies swapped to Blazinghand making the vote 6batsnacks vs. 5 blazinghand. If blazinghand is scum, this looks like a risky move for bunnies since it brings it fairly close to him getting lynched.

When lilwade voted for Blazinghand it made the split 8 (Batsnacks) vs 5 (Blazinghand).

Between the two the votes looked better for bunnies as town than for lilwade since her vote brought it quite a bit closer (assuming BH scum).

@your mom:
I'm around in case you show back up, it's pretty hard to imagine that people would reconsider voting on you at this point.
If you're town you should talk about your cell since it won't really matter what the other cells are if you are lynched (which let's be honest is pretty much a certainty).

I think most people seem to townread either Damdred or NRHF, and then seen you as the third person who isn't really playing and is potentially inconsistent.

You seemed to swap a lot more back and forth on blazinghand (voting him for mayor, then voting to lynch him and disagreeing with him, then saying he is convincing and voting with him) so that'd be a good thing to talk about as well.

I dunno, I only half-expected batsnacks to respond to my questions and he did show up and answer (even if his answers were pretty weak and almost contradictory with regard to BH)

Although the inactivity is pretty lame, it isn't always game-ruining. I mean, in a big game it's nice to have some lower-activity players since it makes the thread more manageable to read. It is pretty tough in this setup I suppose, since it seems like there's always at least one player of three that isn't really playing the game (except maybe in cell C)

yes but he isn't being voted on today

Well now you guys have got me thinking about who is voting for whom and when, and I absolutely hate NRHF's vote and the circumstances behind it. But I also remember not minding the wagon on bunnies when it initially started and I think he was on it then too.

I think the fact that bunnies came back and was giving reads/answering questions freely without being asked despite the fact that she was essentially off the hook may clinch it for me. That one is also unlike the D1/BH.

I have another 45 min or so then it's only phoneposting if at all until usual time.

There's some justification to not suspect NRHF in the second post (based on his vote timings - I'll take a look at that since I'm not sure) but is there a reason why you moved toward voting for your mom without continuing to suspect or questioning NRHF?
You did call NRHF town later (when it was revealed it was HaruRH) but you seemed to back off of him before that

@MM1:
Wave gave some comments on marv here-
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=83#1657
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=84#1662
though they were more specific to heavyweight, I was kind of interested in that because Haru and Holyflare were both in that game, too

Wave generally indicated he can't read oats here-
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=83#1658
which I can empathize with a little because I played catastrophe and don't feel like I have a sense of how to read Oats at all from that.


Why do you feel Holyflare is more likely mafia than Wave?
I do give Holyflare some credit because I liked his points on bunnies (though this assumes bunnies was the mafia in the cell)

@wave:

I'll be out for a little but I'll try to give you updated thoughts on Oats tonight. If C was up today I'd probably push on Oats as the lynch over marv; I don't really know Oats' meta but I feel like there's a fair case for him as scum based on his posts in this game, whereas for marv I think most of the scumfeels come from a sense of uneasiness that he hasn't been more proactive or tried to be persuasive.

One thing I wanted to look at but don't have time to right now is looking at whether Oats townreading marv early makes sense (since he was willing to "sheep" marv while at the same time suggesting he was seeing me as more town). And I dunno, I feel like most people voting for your mom weren't doing it to sheep marv (or at least didn't say so in that tone)

Anyway I'll take a look later and let you know but that's more or less how I'm thinking about it now

Wow, reading through the thread, i counted 1 person who actually agreed with that post. That one person was Marv, who just chimed in to say, that he was with you.

Way to lie HF! ^^


We're talking about this post - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=22891105

I agreed with part of his Holyflare's post on this and disagreed with part-

Holyflare argues that the vote timing (bunnies / lilwade) is not a good reason to switch votes because it applies to both.
I disagree with that argument - although both players switched, I feel bunnies' timing made her look more towny than lilwade's because hers brought the vote closer so I can see that as a valid reason to be persuaded.

The subsequent points that you swapped to and from bunnies & lilwade (one time saying you'd vote for lilwade a minute after posting you were going to stick with bunnies? in the posts he quoted at 1:49 and 1:50) doesn't look right at all, because what would have changed your mind?

I don't think I ever called NRHF town; put simply your mom was the only logical choice for the day. If your mom had put even an ounce of effort into the game then maybe there would have been something else to do, but it doesn't make sense to give a pass to anyone like that otherwise scum can continually think they can get away with it. Neither us nor scum clearly really had much choice in the matter. I noticed an interesting pattern in that regard, however---if we assume bunnies and BH were scum then it means it's possible every initial target town has picked was correct for each day. (This would mean MM1/Oats for final two but I'm not going solely based on that).

Now I've said this before but my activity is limited to late evenings now that I've started work again, with maybe the odd phonepost here and there. If there's discussion to be had right now then people should stick around so I can actually talk.

HF is scum.

Focuses on the change in voting by MM way too much, in advance of his cell, setting up the mislynch so he can win easier.
In fact, that change makes MM town.

@Oats:
Why is it scummy to focus on players in advance of their cell?
For what it's worth, it seems to me that most of your posts seem to focus on me / marv...

Also, why does the vote change from make MM1 make him town when Bunnies' vote change (probably) didn't make her town? (Or, do you think Apathy was the mafia in that cell?)

So one thing on Oats I find pretty suspicious is that he claims his vote for your mom was sheeping marv. Here’s why I think this is suspicious:

(1) This fits with my perception that he’s been buddying up to marv to set me as a mislynch
I’ve already mentioned this a couple of times, so I won’t repost things on this unless you guys want further explanation. In sum, I feel like Oats misread/mischaracterized some of my posts to attack me until some players began to town-read me.

(2) Sheeping marv D4 does not seem consistent with his posts that imply (though do not state outright) that he is townreading me more or suspecting marv more
It makes sense to me that Oats would sheep marv on D3 even if he is town – Oats’ posts indicate he was scumreading me, and I was on the wrong side of the Blazinghand lynch whereas marv was probably on the right one. So, I can understand sheeping marv on D3.

What’s weird though, is that he indicates he is sheeping Marv on D4 for the your mom lynch.
These are two of Oats’ posts in order. (Time passes between them but he doesn’t post between them)

(Don't you wish Cell C was 3rd now? :D)


er lets do this one line at a time.

No, and I dont know why marv asked me to explain it. Possible filler.

marv had a whole lotta meta reasons why blazinghand was scum but never wrote it out fully intending to convince people, just sat back and sniped at whoever called bh town.

Its not about voting late as in 1 min before the deadline. Its about not making a clear stand so its not so suspicious when your team decides on a change in direction. Town dont give a shit about their own voting patterns so they vote willynilly.
Scum more careful with their votes.
GENERALLY.


After that bit and the last few days, your questions have gotten a lot better and there is more direction rather than questions for the sake of questions.


The first post is basically just Oats saying he is sheeping marv and voting for your mom.
The second post is in response to me. To be fair, I don’t think Oats is directly saying that he is scumreading marv in this post (which is how marv seemed to take it) but it sort of imply that because he seems to either think cell C is not as easy, comments that my questions are better, etc.

So if Oats is suspecting marv more d3 (even if it’s only because he is suspecting me less), why is it that he says he is sheeping marv on d3?

(3) Also, "sheeping" marv seems like a weird reason to vote for your mom
This point isn’t as compelling to me but it does kinda make me frown. I just think I wouldn’t think that you’d vote for your mom as a sheep read since there wasn’t really a case or strong push to vote him over other players. I kinda agree with what Wave said here, though not as strongly:

I felt there were some reasons to vote your mom (NRHF felt more towny, for example) but I sort of felt like his lynch was mostly required. I guess I just wouldn’t think of it as “sheeping” someone who didn’t really make a case or strongly push for a lynch on someone (though marv did seem quite certain he wanted your mom lynched). Maybe that’s just a phrasing thing though.

I don't think the lynch on your mom was inevitable, but I tend to agree that we really didn't have a good chance of finding mafia in the cell if he due to his low content. Imagine your mom had said in thread he was mafia. If everyone was voting for him, I wouldn't write "sheeping marv" as a reason to vote for him, because the reason is that he claimed scum. Anyway it's obviously not that pronounced, but I'm trying to convey why it feels weird. The above two reasons are better anyway I think.

Since we have an active cell today I'll try to focus in on it next, but if you want to comment on that post on Oats feel free.

@MM1: Can you explain the one-minute change in reads you had? Sorry if you did earlier, I didn't get my normal time to play today cause of hosting duties

It just doesn’t seem natural to me that you would switch over the course of a minute.

Btw although currently I feel you more likely mafia than Holyflare, I really feel your play is much better in this game than in prior games from you I read (not just counterclaiming or not, your posting style as well) so wanted to mention that.

On WaveofShadow

I feel like today's vote is between Holyflare and MM1. Although I think there's some merit to the argument that Wave hasn't pushed too hard for a lynch, it's hard for me to say that anyone has pushed super hard on any other player this game (with the exception of Holyflare on MM1, I suppose).

I liked Wave's D2 because I felt Wave's votes to and from batsnacks were pretty reasonable.
Wave townreads batsnacks early, and even calls a post by Oats voting for batsnacks as awful
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=34#673
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=34#674

He laters vote for batsnacks, but he clearly presents it as looking for information / pressure to get more-
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=54#1080

It's difficult to say he is actually scumreading batsnacks when he first votes for him. And, this seems consistent because he later returns to voting for BH.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=59#1179

I feel that here, it would have been difficult for Wave to have a good justification to vote for batsnacks. Except that then batsnacks votes himself and Wave joins. Frankly, I just feel like this is justifiable... certainly mafia can vote on someone who is voting on himself, but Wave still seems to want to keep pressure on batsnacks
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=61#1213




The other thing with wave is that when asked for reads or thoughts on certain situations, he gives fleshed out explanations of things in a way I agree with. The most recent and pronounced of these is probably his comments on your mom, but I also feel like some of his comments on marv and oats resonate with me. Some feel like they could be buddying up, but I tend to think that's a little less likely because my vote on him doesn't seem like it'd be all that important.

Anyway, I don't have much more to write about Wave, really - I think for me I'm solidly between HF and MM1 leaning MM1.

@MM1
Can you not call him shitflare? Like, politeness aside (though that's a consideration) it's harder to search your filter for references to him if you call him that, and it's already tough to look for people's comments on you when people call you "mm"

how many mafia has HF led lynches on?

I don't see this as relevant... the only mafia lynch was your mom and I feel like it was (sort of) the obvious choice and more the result of inactivity than anyone pushing or leading a lynch.

I think i'd probably go for bunnies as the mafia in this situation. I think professor apathy is town for voting on lil wade, and i'm not sure on how to read lilwade, but from the games that i've played with bunnies her play as town has definitely been different. If bunnies does flip mafia, then the chance that ritoky was scum over BH increases in my mind. I did sheep ritoky's reads because everyone was claiming that he was town, but rereading the thread i don't really see where all of that was coming from.

##Vote: 27NinjaBunnies


Why did you see Apathy as town for voting on lilwade when you were thought bunnies was the scum in the cell?

Hey Oats

I get these reasons for you suspecting holyflare:
1) Focuses too much on MM1 (to set up a mislynch)
2) You think MM1 is town (unclear if this is a reason but I think it's the case)
3) You say MM1 is trying hard and Holyflare is laughing away

Are there more? I'll talk about them in a minute

Why is it scummy to focus on players in advance of their cell?
For what it's worth, it seems to me that most of your posts seem to focus on me / marv...


3) You say MM1 is trying hard and Holyflare is laughing away
It seems like holyflare is trying pretty hard to me - I feel like he went sorta went ham on MM1, has more posts throughout the game, longer filter, etc.

Welk thats game,

Just going to go on record

Bh, bunnies, hf, marv as mafia. Ill apologize to town for not following my earlier scum reads

@Amiko, and wos why are you voting for me?


I'll try to break it down as much as possible- I put a post earlier talking about why I feel WoS is probably town, so I'll try to just comment on him briefly here and then focus on you and Holyflare.
I think WoS is probably town as outlined here - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/463542-cell-mini-mafia-iii?page=96#1915. Of these points, I think his vote movement and posts D2 are probably what convinced me more than his responses.
Honestly, I think there's probably an argument that WoS's vote posts are scummy. He's often indicating a willingness to move between Blazinghand and Batsnacks - it's clear that his vote is up in the air. But, his responses at each post tend to ring true to me... I guess I just wouldn't expect him to have a strong firm at those points in the game, so it doesn't trouble me that he didn't.

Anyway, I started writing on WoS to make a comparison. Comparing your posts (MM1) to WoS, I feel like some posts seem unnatural and unlike what a player would usually do, or reflect that your reads aren't what they say they are. The one-minute difference in where you were voting is an example of this (Oats' comment that he was sheeping marv is another example, I think, though it doesn't bear on you.)

Another example would be this post-
On September 02 2014 16:12 MysteryMeat1 wrote:
im liking this day so far

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=22888549
Like, at this point there's maybe one and a half posts with content in them for the day... what is there to like?

To be clear, I'm not saying that you are scum because you said you liked the day. I can't even tell if you are serious or joking in that post. It just seems off.




Let's compare you to WoS in another way.
When Holyflare does a trap sort of thing for WoS, WaveofShadow sees this as something that is (probably) town from Holyflare. He notes that it's possible Holyflare is meta-ing him, or using a trap because he knows Wave will read him as town, etc., but WoS brings up something most players would probably read HF as town for on a day when he and HF are up for lynch. Further, WoS gives him a mostly town read for trying to scumhunt him.

Compare this to your reaction to Holyflare trying to bury you for the "slip" post regarding bunnies as a partner. Your overall response is that HF is lying, misrepresenting, throwing scum on you, etc. This is a little more nuanced (I could try to talk about my reaction to Oats earlier in the game to flesh this out, for example), but overall the point I'm getting at is that you don't seem to believe that Holyflare could be misguided town, you feel that he is mafia who knows he is lying and misrepresenting you.

I'll try to write more but I'm in and out of meetings today and since deadline is approaching it's good to get a few ideas out

I can believe you were joking for the "liking this day" post it was just something that stuck out as an example.
--

I don't blame you for not seeing HF as misguided town now since he's basically gone for the throat on you since yesterday. I guess it just struck me as weird that you didn't consider seem to consider it earlier? It seems to me that both WaveofShadow and Holyflare seemed to feel you were scummy from D1 (after the interaction involving the trap) so clearly at least one town was suspecting you - why HF and not WoS at that point (before HF attacked you as much as he has now)?

Okay so Meat I feel like you see the 3-player interaction as really key to why you scumread holyflare

My understanding of this is that you are saying you think Toad is town because if he was mafia, he would make a case on bunnies. Wave questions what you mean, and Holyflare says it may be because as mafia, you would know bunnies is mafia and feel like Toad could make a case on her.

Your point is that:
If Holyflare believes the explanation he is providing (you and bunnies are mafia), and we have reason to believe he does (because he believes you are mafia), then he should have voted for bunnies.

Is that a good summation?

Yeah I thought your comment on me was kinda weird since I felt I deserved a stronger townread, but I feel like every time I try to use a program to consolidate my reads I usually forget to keep them updated so I didn't read too much into the image
If we made it to Cell 5 I was thinking about voting for marv in the beginning of the day just to see what happened, but I feel pretty confident I would have voted to lynch oats.

I'm glad the game felt close (even if maybe it wasn't close); my expectation pretty early on was that town would lose 3-0

Thanks to Artanis, SlOosh, and OnceKing for hosting!

MysteryMeat although we mislynched you I really do feel that your play had substantially improved since the last time I read you, for a while I was wondering if your scumteam was giving you tips or if maybe they were forcing you to make more of an effort. We lost but I think you did well and just wanted to throw a compliment your way for that

btw I was speculating that maybe your mom was layabout (since both used the word "arse" and I thought layabout was maybe low activity) but it was just a guess.
