So why doesn't your logic that gives you a town read on bat, not apply to obi? Didn't he "cast a vote in a random direction"? You say bat wouldn't want to make a big target of himself as mafia by random voting, but obi would? This seems inconsistent to me.


EBWOP


If you'd asked me this 4 hours in, I'd have read Obi as green as I did bat. His opening vote was similarly provocative, and there was little reason to suspect. Since pushing to have bat plynched though, Obi has pointed fingers at two other parties and is acting much more defensive. I'm not voting yet, but Obi is definitely on my radar.

Notes from last night:
1. The next person to suggest we ignore missions is getting full-on scumread. This topic keeps coming up, very sporadically, and it feels like a few people are trying to echo the idea across the crowd, so it's more acceptable later. Ignoring the mission concept is completely unacceptable and will only serve to hinder us. Stay vigilant for possible mission-like behaviors, everyone. I get the feeling that they would be rather out-of-the-ordinary missions, otherwise the host could have just as well run vanilla. (Sorry for the meta read there, but if anyone wants to refute that, I'm open to hear your case.)

2. Micchan is giving off a serious mafia vibe to me. Not only did his bandwagoning post seem forced ("Ok here whatever" as if he's trying to seem aloof) but the fact that his only other post yesterday was a defensive misdirection, posted only 20 minutes after he was called out. He's either really bad at this game, scum, too busy IRL to play, or any/all of the above.

3. Poofter's reads (specifically the BMK list) seem solid for the most part, but the way he posted and went after Micchan tells me something isn't right. Specifically, the way he's applying pressure to vote. The reads say town, but the pressure says mafia. Nobody on my town list so far has been pushing for a D1 lynch.

4. My posts usually do come across as apologetic. Not just here either. Blame my mother for giving birth within spitting distance of Canada. Anyone reading into that makes it on my scum list, since it looks like they're conjuring fault out of nothing.


With my personal notes out of the way, let's move on to direct responses:

If you think bunnies' activities make her lynchable right now you should probably explain the posts she has made...


Up until this post in the thread, bunnies' biggest contribution to the thread was to town claim for the person she's been buddying/bantering with throughout the whole thread. Suspicious? Yes. Lynchable? Not by itself.

I also particularly disliked the way bunnies was gathering information, going from defensive short-posts to prodding people for their reads and then replying to each one-by-one. Generally, townies are more willing to share their reads, instead of needing to base their perspective on other people's reads.

Today's bunnies is a bit different from yesterday's bunnies, in that she's laid out a list of her reads. No information or explanation, but at least she's sharing. I do like that.

@3d12- you said my read on tehpoofter was silly and based on troll posts, but I think I gave a bit more reasoning than that. why is the read silly to you? What do you think of poofter so far?

Also http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/465384-mission-mini-mafia?page=17#338<--------- Town tehpoof


The read is silly because it was based entirely on meta. A person's meta can change from game to game. This read came from nothing tangible. For example, it would be impossible for me to have the same read on poof because I've never played with him. Since you and I have been exposed to the same information this game, you are using information I have not been exposed to to make a claim on someone else. That is absolutely 100% fishy, would you agree?

As for my reads on poofter, see point 3 from my "last night's notes" above, and my list of reads below.

Anyone else thinking that mderg is trying hard to get some focus on me? I wasn't the only one to nullread/townread bat yesterday. And yes, traditionally from my live mafia experience, provocative openings are usually townies. It's probably an 80/20 split. I never confirmed him green, but I pointed out that bat looked town from the way he opened. If you have a better reason to scumread him instead, why not post your reasoning?

I don't like the batsnacks votes. They seem kinda lazy. Sure, his post didn't make any sense but that's it.


This was all the reasoning I could find in your filter, and it's pretty weak. So, how about it, mderg? Batsnacks: scum or town?


List of reads:

Mafia
ObiWanShinobi (Very non-committal so far, easily switched vote from "troll vote" to batsnacks once it seemed like bat was being scumread. Hesitant to share information. Off-topic posts. Only real redeeming quality so far is calling out kush, very pro-town move.)
mderg (Repeatedly pushing the "ignore the missions" idea, provoking reactions from players while not disclosing any information himself, heavy lurking, generally defensive)
kushm4sta (Tunnel-vision on batsnacks, trying to start a plynch, low activity otherwise)
Micchan (Inactivity, defensive, no thoughts shared, no case built, suspicious bandwagoning)

Mafia-likely (Pink)
TehPoofter (High voting pressure, starting a bandwagon/plynch, very large filter, calls people out on buddying while blatantly attempting to buddy, redeemed so far by good questioning of Templar's motives)
Oatsmaster (Avoiding all talk about missions, redirecting scum claims towards bat and Obi, not posting thoughts openly)

Neutral (White)
The_Templar (Good expression and information-sharing, challenges unnatural ideas/thoughts, sensibly pieces together a motive. Neutral because of weak (meta/defensive) defense about his role)
Vivax (Strange read on poofter, but otherwise constructs very sensible and well-put-together posts pointing out discrepancies. Without the pink vibe from his accusations toward kita and templar, would likely be very town atm.)
Damdred (No real read yet, seems to be gathering information. Is asking the right questions, but not sharing information openly)
27ninjabunnies (Good info balanced out by suspicious buddying/claiming)

Town
batsnacks (I wasn't sure at first, but after your expose on kita, I know you're looking in the right places. Your investigation is solid and you're providing direct responses to your challenges. I highly doubt kita is scum, but I like the way you think.)
kitaman27 (The main source of information so far imo, this guy is posting very good reads and keeping good notes. Only scummy behavior so far is what was pointed out by Vivax, but without further proof I'm willing to let it slide as a poor choice of words)

All in all, I don't like the idea of a plynch. However, I less like the idea of scum lurking the thread and hopping on whatever bandwagon is hot at the time. Let's change that.

So, the conversations here have been pretty interesting..


Seriously, batsnacks needs to die!

There's been like 4 or 5 times Obi has asked BS to give his read as to why there's one between me and him, and BS still has refused to answer.

Why are you avoiding it so much, Bat?


Also, Dam, how can you be reading me, Bat, and 3d as mafia when I've been pushing on Bat, and called 3d scum/neutral scum earlier?



This alone gives you the confidence that he must be scum?

Bats isn't exactly renowned for caring a lot about his image as town so I wouldn't put it past him that he simply didn't read it or doesn't care about answering, hence I need to see how this argument of yours shows that it must come from his scum mindset.

What do you think about 3d's weird opinion change on you that I displayed above?

Templar feels like very tunnel visioned to me.
However he has 6 pages of filter so far so I don't feel like he's one of the guys I would lynch any time soon.

I would be interested into knowing what his other options are however.

This post bothers me the most so far. Unless it's sarcasm, then disregard.

Why would an individual's meta be relevant at all? I understand the nature of certain people may not change much, but especially in a forum-based game, is it really so hard to believe that people would act differently from game to game?

Because to be honest, it does look like the shittiest reason. I don't like this read from Vivax at all. If you can challenge this view, I'd welcome you to do so. No hate, and I promise I'm reading. Keep in mind that people interpret things differently, and that's part of the fun of Mafia. What one person may not see in a post, someone else might.


How should I read him in your expert opinion?

"people interpret things differently"

The trouble of going through with trying to fuck with people's missions that we don't even really know about is a bit much. Scumhunting is probably easier, so wharvez.


When you say a bit much, do you mean too much effort or too many people?

With a coordinated town effort, I think enough subtle changes to the meta could really throw things off for them. The way I see the Mafia this game, they are likely extra paranoid due to the death condition hanging over their heads. I think the easiest way to bring them out would be to shake things up and see who starts crawling out. Do you disagree?

Besides, if he were mafia, why would he go out of his way to start a wagon against a second party? You would think that would make you stick out more than blend in, which it did.

Nothing to ask for the moment. Still have to read more of past stuff. Was dwelling in 3ds filter when I saw that.

It kinda hit me how he would speak of "parties", as if he knew that bats and kita were different ones.

Well, the second party is kita in this case.
What's odd is the wording, couldn't unsee, but I don't know if it's a genuine slip or just a weird word he chose to use, but since he can argue in his favour when explaining, it's probably unproductive to dwell on this.

That's not typically Mafia behavior, though I will admit the long-winded post from earlier had me confused as well. All in all, it's a tough read; but if I had to imagine myself in his position, I wouldn't imagine he'd want to make such a big target out of himself on D1 if he were Mafia.

So why doesn't your logic that gives you a town read on bat, not apply to obi? Didn't he "cast a vote in a random direction"? You say bat wouldn't want to make a big target of himself as mafia by random voting, but obi would? This seems inconsistent to me.


EBWOP


If you'd asked me this 4 hours in, I'd have read Obi as green as I did bat. His opening vote was similarly provocative, and there was little reason to suspect. Since pushing to have bat plynched though, Obi has pointed fingers at two other parties and is acting much more defensive. I'm not voting yet, but Obi is definitely on my radar.

Actually 3d, why are you ignoring bunnies right now? She has said a couple times that she would be happy to get you out of the game, what do you think of that? Why did you put off commenting on it?


Not worth comment, imo. She said herself that her read on me is only a "gut read," and if people are happy with bandwagoning on a gut feeling to have me lynched, I'll happily /obs and laugh as the scum runs away with the game.


Well I can understand that. However what do you think of bunnies posts besides her gut feeling on you?


What posts? Aside from a suspicious(ly silly) read on poofter and a CTA for a vigi on bat, she hasn't contributed much to the discussion so far. If anything, if the deadline was right now and I had to cast my vote, I think 27nb would be my choice. Stepping up and trying to publicly read poofter as town based on nothing but troll posts gives me a bad feeling that there may even be a bus straight to LYLO going on under our noses.

If you think bunnies' activities make her lynchable right now you should probably explain the posts she has made...


Up until this post in the thread, bunnies' biggest contribution to the thread was to town claim for the person she's been buddying/bantering with throughout the whole thread. Suspicious? Yes. Lynchable? Not by itself.

I also particularly disliked the way bunnies was gathering information, going from defensive short-posts to prodding people for their reads and then replying to each one-by-one. Generally, townies are more willing to share their reads, instead of needing to base their perspective on other people's reads.

Today's bunnies is a bit different from yesterday's bunnies, in that she's laid out a list of her reads. No information or explanation, but at least she's sharing. I do like that.

@3d12- you said my read on tehpoofter was silly and based on troll posts, but I think I gave a bit more reasoning than that. why is the read silly to you? What do you think of poofter so far?

Also http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/465384-mission-mini-mafia?page=17#338<--------- Town tehpoof


The read is silly because it was based entirely on meta. A person's meta can change from game to game. This read came from nothing tangible. For example, it would be impossible for me to have the same read on poof because I've never played with him. Since you and I have been exposed to the same information this game, you are using information I have not been exposed to to make a claim on someone else. That is absolutely 100% fishy, would you agree?

As for my reads on poofter, see point 3 from my "last night's notes" above, and my list of reads below.

Anyone else thinking that 3d12 is trying hard to get some newbie bonus? I also don't like how a provocative opening instantly makes him townread people.


Anyone else thinking that mderg is trying hard to get some focus on me? I wasn't the only one to nullread/townread bat yesterday. And yes, traditionally from my live mafia experience, provocative openings are usually townies. It's probably an 80/20 split. I never confirmed him green, but I pointed out that bat looked town from the way he opened. If you have a better reason to scumread him instead, why not post your reasoning?

I don't like the batsnacks votes. They seem kinda lazy. Sure, his post didn't make any sense but that's it.


This was all the reasoning I could find in your filter, and it's pretty weak. So, how about it, mderg? Batsnacks: scum or town?


List of reads:

Mafia
ObiWanShinobi (Very non-committal so far, easily switched vote from "troll vote" to batsnacks once it seemed like bat was being scumread. Hesitant to share information. Off-topic posts. Only real redeeming quality so far is calling out kush, very pro-town move.)
mderg (Repeatedly pushing the "ignore the missions" idea, provoking reactions from players while not disclosing any information himself, heavy lurking, generally defensive)
kushm4sta (Tunnel-vision on batsnacks, trying to start a plynch, low activity otherwise)
Micchan (Inactivity, defensive, no thoughts shared, no case built, suspicious bandwagoning)

Mafia-likely (Pink)
TehPoofter (High voting pressure, starting a bandwagon/plynch, very large filter, calls people out on buddying while blatantly attempting to buddy, redeemed so far by good questioning of Templar's motives)
Oatsmaster (Avoiding all talk about missions, redirecting scum claims towards bat and Obi, not posting thoughts openly)

Neutral (White)
The_Templar (Good expression and information-sharing, challenges unnatural ideas/thoughts, sensibly pieces together a motive. Neutral because of weak (meta/defensive) defense about his role)
Vivax (Strange read on poofter, but otherwise constructs very sensible and well-put-together posts pointing out discrepancies. Without the pink vibe from his accusations toward kita and templar, would likely be very town atm.)
Damdred (No real read yet, seems to be gathering information. Is asking the right questions, but not sharing information openly)
27ninjabunnies (Good info balanced out by suspicious buddying/claiming)

Town
batsnacks (I wasn't sure at first, but after your expose on kita, I know you're looking in the right places. Your investigation is solid and you're providing direct responses to your challenges. I highly doubt kita is scum, but I like the way you think.)
kitaman27 (The main source of information so far imo, this guy is posting very good reads and keeping good notes. Only scummy behavior so far is what was pointed out by Vivax, but without further proof I'm willing to let it slide as a poor choice of words)

All in all, I don't like the idea of a plynch. However, I less like the idea of scum lurking the thread and hopping on whatever bandwagon is hot at the time. Let's change that.

##Vote: Micchan



My read on bunnies was based mostly on her read of poofter. Early D1 I didn't like the way she openly read him as town for reasons of personal meta. At the moment, it seemed like the most likely scenario was that she was buddying and attempting to avoid suspect. Later on in the day, she seemed to become more perceptive and started posting reads and sharing info, interacting with more people.

Specifically this post, which was indicative that we're at least reading kita the same way:

Thoughts?


Well, Bat's read disagrees with mine. I find you quite townie. Your posts have been pretty good, your reads aren't too bad (though reads arent technically alignment indicative), and your questions have been great. I like where your mind is at. Mostly.

Tho, not sure if bats vote is troll or actually serious. If serious, Im curious as to the conclusion he came up with on you and how you are mafia.


I'm not 100% convinced she's town, but she gained a few town points to me in the twilight hours of D1.


Yea but what I'm still missing here is the contradiction: First you said "If I could lynch someone now it would be bunnies".
In the later post you backtrack from this and say about the same stuff "suspicious, yes, but lynchable no".

Then mention how you didn't like her way of prodding people for reads.

And at the end of this it's suddenly all cool cause she shared her reads at some point.

Your suspicion of her is not as visible at this point, compared to the previous post where you said you would lynch her, and you mention a mix of scummy and not scummy stuff you conclude with by saying something that you like (she's sharing reads of her own).

What also is out of my understanding is that you mention the scummy stuff a person has done and when she stops doing it, it's suddenly all right again. It's like pointing out things that make somebody scum, they are there, they are out and you saw them and picked up on it.

And when that person simply stops doing the mistakes you called her out for, you unscumread her? Just like that?

Oh and with the post you answered to me just now you forgot to mention one of the things you previously found scummy about her: That she was asking people for their reads.

Forgetful about the reasons you found her scummy for?

I don't think Vivax is scum, but scum Vivax likes to afk d2 after a successful d1. My intention is to give him extra motivation to prove he's town to me.


Yeah I do that when I feel safe cause a sufficient amount of people think I'm town cause of D1.

By voting for me you would put me on my guard actually making me play more past D1.

Which would make your vote on me a terrible strategy cause it would actually lead to me not displaying my scum tell.

Well when I read his posts the thing that comes to mind is: Artificial, excessively thought out. It's like he puts in a tremendous amount of effort to make them sound legitimate.

He delivers us a lot of stories on how he reads the events at a certain point but heavily lacks more offensive interactions, overall he seems very self centered, or centered on his own opinions, which seems like mafia mindset.

I went back and tried to find a game or two where he was mafia. I found Doctor Who mafia or something. He posted a lot of gifs and one liners that game but there were some good posts. That had, at the time, diminished my scum read of him but he is someone I keep going back to. If I were a day vigi I would consider shooting him, but it would feel selfish.

Do you think anything of the mission stuff I said to him? About how he was scum and his mission could be he has to vote with the majority.


Why should I think about missions if I scumread him off his posts? I'd rather not use that line of reasoning here, we could have tested that theory D1 with sufficient consensus but now I'd rather not touch i again.

Kush is still lynchable. Not by amount of posts which he justified with being busy but by the effort he puts into them. They lack the ambition town kush has.
