Breshke vote comes off trying to pressure SL back into the game (which I believe is what was claimed). What value does a no-lynch vote hold? Avoiding hitting cop/doc or whatever? I tend to like some form of solid information, since at least three players are blowing smoke and sometimes others are too concerned about meta to be of much use. A lynch can get that solid info. Scummiest to me right now is Bats and/or Oats, though take that with a grain of salt because I'm not feeling strongly about anyone as scum at the moment. The back and forth over Kush and who is contributing what is very white noise. Lot of blah and little helpful being said. Could just be getting sidetracked, or the argument is possibly staged. ^ My take from reading this thread half-asleep. You guys waste no time; I'll give you that. | ||

I don't mind answering real questions, but my reasoning was stated above, and most of your arguments are picking and choosing comments out of context. -shrugs- Be more specific or stop wasting my time with nonsense. | ||

While being the scummiest of scum and prepping stakes for impalement... And poor little Oats whines about me saying he and Bats having a pointless argument for pages seems like the scummiest thing in this thread so far... I don't have solid scum reads. Unless you count myself. There are no Russian troops in Siberia (except lost on holiday). 'Nough said. Only ones I'd say for sure are reading town to me right now are HLT, Breshke and Trfel. HLT and Trfel bumbling too much to have an agenda. Breshke's using votes to force activity and none of his posts raised the red BS flag. The rest of you are suspect. Or...perhaps they're my partners in crime. Wait. Three of us. Hm. | ||

I don't see an inquisitive mindset from you. And you won't for at least another round or two. Why? 1. I'm still getting used to the way a real mafia site works. 2. You guys talk way too much air anyway, so I don't need to push you to talk more. 3. Right now it's mostly speculation, meta, bandwagoning and useless. Once actions start coming in you'll hear more from me. And you're still topping my lynch votes, Oats. Mostly because I find consistently misreading/picking and choosing half my posts to pay attention to and attack annoying. Without solid scum reads, I will go with the one that seems scummiest and is giving me a headache just to shut you up. ![]() | ||

Now I know you want to push Breske for pushing you in the beginning, and I didn't jump on that bandwagon. But I'll concede that you may be town and just bad at this whole let's set a trap thing. (I mean, really, what were you expecting out of that?) It doesn't seem like a mafia move just cause it's too stupid. So I won't push you, bro. ![]() On a sidenote, where is the meatpudding?

Coincidental maybe that you suddenly come in with a buttload of reads after I ask where you went and disappeared to, but that screams lurking to me. You've talked lynching policies a lot and got in early game on the sl, breske business defending breske's vote as not indicative of an alignment...and came out in favor of a no-lynch. Those by themselves aren't that significant. I don't see much value added the first day though. And the timing today...that's what really has me suspicious. Got a good reason for that? | ||

I will be voting meatpudding tomorrow if he continues this lurking play with a difference in time zones as an excuse. It doesn't explain the timing of his responses adequately enough, the 24hr period in between, or why he's suddenly not participating in the thread again now that I removed my vote. In essence: unsatisfied. However, I do agree with you trfel that batsnacks comes off more scummy than oats, and if meatpudding clears his name I will join you on that lynch. The first thing I said was that one or both of those two seemed the scummiest. Arguments like that, from my limited experience, usually hide a mafia member trying to throw in confusion and seem "active" and "town". As far as batsnacks is concerned, the push on kush based solely on meta (which I disagree with on principle) and the way he appears to have incited that argument make me lean his way over oats. | ||

What use is it really to push off a Day 1 lynch? Are you hoping for a cop read? Or that the mafia will kill someone and it will just be a stunning Eureka-moment revelation? Like as not, we'll be just as in the dark Day 2 as Day 1. At least with a lynch we'll have more information to go off of. That with your few posts of nothing makes me itchy. @meatpudding...your exchange with breske and reads over the last several hours have convinced me that the timing thing was genuinely coincidental. Your logic is pretty sound, too, though I don't agree with everything. For example...sicklucker. Yes, he is failing as a townie with all the half-assed reads and pointless "traps", but as a Day 1 lynch, that's weak. Even the comment about not being able to make a read because of ongoing games, while a possible smokescreen, is more likely legit. It doesn't take much to come up with reasons to say you think someone is scum or not, even if they're bad ones. I'd wait and see on him, personally. Still not happy with the bats/oats argument. If only because it hurt my head reading it and I want to hurt them back. Oats I'm reserving judgment on, however. The nitpicking might be his way of getting people to contradict themselves so he can feel them out, and he does keep trying to push the thread forward. @bats...I don't like you. It's a gut thing, nothing specific, but the argument and anyone telling me my vote is a good one like I'm a dog waiting for a treat and the approbation of master makes me want to dropkick you. Particularly since you didn't bother to clarify why you thought it was a good call. However...I'm not inclined to go with gut calls. My guts like to be wrong too often. So, bear with me, the ramble is almost done. Alakaslam I didn't like the moment I saw his posting. Too much fluff and nonsense, I hate having to read people's posts three times just to interpret [I]what[I] they were saying, yet alone the intent behind it. He had one post of any real worth, as far as I can tell, essentially saying that ambiguity doesn't help town...somewhere sprinkled in all that Kenpachi random voting nonsense...and yet that is exactly what he was doing. Being ambiguous. No need to add that he's disappeared from the game ever since. But I'll do so anyway just to round out the reasoning behind the vote. When scum reads are tentative at best and you don't have much solid to go on, I'm more than willing to get rid of someone who is useless anyway. <b>##vote Alakaslam</b> | ||

I will say that my opinions aren't strong enough to push any one person in particular, but there are a few who I definitely would not push. Dick's suspicious enough that I'm comfortable voting for him, since presumably even if he doesn't vote he'd still be lynched, rather than replaced, yes? ##unvote ##vote Dick | ||

As an aside, if town jumps on a townie (nearly inevitable in Day 1 lynch) mafia wouldn't need to push after it hard. Their only concern should be protecting their own team. Means the pushers aren't necessarily mafia. To assume they are is to go down a rabbit trail. There was no reason not to push Dick. We can agree on that, I hope. Whether or not there was a better choice is up for debate, so why don't we take a look back and see if we still think those people are scum? That seems far more productive than this. Anyone still thinking Bats looks good for it? | ||

Yet you were the one pushing everyone to get on him in the first place. I never said I wouldn't listen to this "amazing" revelation, but it turned out to be just as flimsy as I thought it would be. | ||

I'm using the word "we" because me, myself and I am not enough, and I can scream into the ether all I want; doesn't matter if no one listens. As to who...lord friggin knows. LS bugs me because of the multiple references to being cop before early on, but I don't think he's necessarily scum for it. And his explanation for not wanting to lynch vote made sense in the context of his last game. Kush...he gave a few small reads and made a few comments but I don't feel he's made any significant contributions to the game. The ones who are leaning more town for me are you, Trfel and Breshke...and SL to a lesser extent. Doesn't mean I agree with their reads 100% but I don't think any of you guys are scum. Damdred I'm on the fence on. Experience says town...but since that was a different context and the experience I'm talking about is maybe 4 games, I wouldn't go out on a fence for him as town based on solely that. Bats I don't like because he's not explaining himself well, and sometimes completely ignoring questions directed at him while goofing off. Yet those of you who have played with him before seem to think that's normal for him, despite Trfel's attempt at a metaread based on his prior games. Still not happy with Alakaslam's nonsense then disappearance and last-minute vote. No strong scum read on him in particular, but until I get one, getting rid of useless is fine by me, as I said before. Meatpudding is leaning more town for me than scum. He seems to be genuinely trying to probe for scum. This is all based on memory, and the feels I'm getting, not specific quotes though if you want deeper reads I can find where the impressions came from. To be honest, though...I'm hoping to get something out of who mafia kills tonight. | ||

Telling town to do things while not doing things. The first is true enough. I'm caustic. The second I can understand, even though I have been making an effort, with first Meatpudding (questioning his timing), then LS (questioning why he didn't want to lynch anyone first night). It's part-arrogance, admittedly. Since it's not clear to me (and obviously isn't clear to most of the rest of you with all the hopping around I'm seeing) who scum is, I'm not hugely in favor of bussing someone I don't feel strongly about. I could make up some hogwash if you like, but I don't feel that's constructive in the long run. The third is your opinion, so I won't argue it one way or another. Everyone can decide that for themselves. As to the fourth...that's where I'm lost. What are you referring to? | ||

Not directed at me, I know, but I've been going back through the thread...without the pressure of voting it's making a bit more sense than when I first read the posts. I would not vote Alakaslam anymore. Here's why: Biggest problem with him is that he poofed. Still, he was responsible about it. Kept the vote to the vote train instead of voting something that would change the course of the game when he hadn't really been in it. On November 27 2014 06:33 Alakaslam wrote: ##Vote: Alakaslam I have been very busy and got a voting reminder. IF SELF VOTING IS NOT OK: ##vote: DSMIC as that is the largest wagon. I am really ill informed due to being out of thread so long. I should be able to pick it up soon Alakaslam did not joke vote. All the random names (shop talk is what I'd call it, because those of us new to the game have little hope of understanding it easily) threw me off. But he said he voted Breshke for joke voting, not that he was joke voting. On November 25 2014 11:39 Alakaslam wrote: You see not with the eyes of chupazi. I will translate. I want town to tell me why I voted Breshke for what was obviously a joke. *GASP* That is so dry it probably won't work now! or maybe it will? I still want y'all to do it! consider it fellow student homework. Then, as soon as someone mentions that sicklucker laid a "trap" (which, was first called that by Damdred, though I don't think that sicklucker ever actually said that this was what it was?) Alakaslam removes his vote, accompanied by the following post: On November 25 2014 11:54 Alakaslam wrote: ah thank you. Oh he did this intentionally? hiiiiiiiiiijole. Well he is like Kenpachi then; a not so great player... ##Unvote Anyway here is the teaching moment. Kenpachi is a dude who graced TLMafia a while back. He used meta as a tool. The nice thing about newbie/vet games is you have this mix of meta and originality, when someone uses meta as a tool it is more apparent and the newbie is "left out of the loop" but is perhaps more likely to find out what is stupid about that particular meta. For example, some people like RVS- Random Voting Stage (hello smashboards -_-) WHY? Yet me challenging RVS got me instantly disliked over there. What (crap I forget his name) noticed there was someone doing a random vote. And he pointed something awesome out: When you cut it to the bone, you can see that stupid crap like RVS can only really help scum by muddling motivations and intentions readability in a particular post. Sure it keeps town honest too, (how many times have I seen town say "It's just a joke, seriously") (How many times do I joke!?!? lol) but ultimately taking "it was just a joke" away as an easy excuse for a telling post is better than leaving it. sure, it will always be doable. THat is the nature of wifom. BUt as town to minimize this is awesome, and here by newness we are presented an opportunity to do so. Seems pretty clear by the above that Alakaslam is trying to say, in a very narrative style, that town is benefitted most by players who are playing straightforward. I.e. not joking, random voting, worrying about meta when in some later game they might be mafia, etc. Seems like a pretty townie take on things to me, but then, I hate moves based on meta, too, so I'm probably biased. He also probed Batsnacks for a simple read on HTS rather than the ramble that Batsnacks initially gave where he nitpicked something about baddies or whatever as TMI but then said it didn't seem like anything after all. On November 25 2014 12:05 Alakaslam wrote: ... BATSNACKS! Now say in one sentence your read on him plz. Because if you can't condense it does it actually exist? And didn't immediately dismiss Batsnacks' vote on Kush to try to force him to vote, instead asking for clarification as to what Batsnacks was doing that. On November 25 2014 12:20 Alakaslam wrote: It is real, and not actually baseless. Hmm. So do you know the context there? I don't. Bats care to enlighten me or did he leave? Also, he defended the people who hadn't posted in the thread yet after the game had just started.

Still reading through the rest of the thread, but some things have caught my eye. I do not understand Damdred's obsession with HTS in the beginning of the game. He initially attributed it to just trying to push sicklucker for why he was reading HTS as slightly town, but got very aggressive about it and declared a scum read that I never saw an explanation for. (Granted I've only finished combing through page 10 at this time.) All I saw was the following comment that possibly maybe half-explained it by saying that HTSs comment wasn't necessarily town and so could be scum: On November 25 2014 08:35 Damdred wrote: Usually votes within the first page are pressure votes especially when you say hey i'm town going to afk. Of course you need to be back in the thread. But look at the post that you are slightly town reading sky for, hes not defending you at all hes look at motives for bresh slightly without any real pressure. Half of it won't get any answer and then he discredits himself with the last sentence slightly . So not sur ei'm seeing what you are unless you are just looking to give people town reads for no reason I don't understand why this would turn into a scum read, so @Damdred... Where are you getting your scum read from? Why HTS of all people to go after so quickly? And @Batsnacks...got anything better than the fact HTS actually stated goodies and baddies in his post when asking Breshke why he voted sicklucker right out the gate? That said, still reading Breshke and sicklucker as town. Both of what you two were doing at the start of game makes sense to me, but got muddied by some of the aggressive playing from other quarters. | ||

Picking you to look into and build a case against isn't completely out to lunch with your insta-vote, though you removed it when kush decided to participate, didn't you?

You are, after all, one of the people that keeps on being accused of scum. I'd be irresponsible not to double-check. Your response on HTS lines up with what I saw in the beginning of the thread, though. Thanks for clarifying. So it's really just Damdred actually reading HTS as scum. | ||

Trfel, I do appreciate your effort. Truly. But it is hard to read posts that long without losing interest or getting distracted.

But going back through your filter, I'm not really seeing what everyone else seems to be seeing. You have given reads and explained yourself, if a bit tersely especially when you kept getting the same questions over and over. Your votes did make sense in the context of the thread. The biggest case against you seems to be what Trfel dug up in meta. I don't know you. Not really fond of meta reads. So I'm reading you as neutral right now. I will say, though, that no I don't think you and Damdred are a scum team. Just a bit too obvious when you were in each other's pockets (him more in yours than the other way around) from the start. I think it's entirely possible for mafia to go after someone who has posted very little thinking that they might have a role (not vanilla town), even if they knew you both were town, so I don't think it's worth voting you to find out if Damdred is scum. (And frankly don't understand voting someone other than who you think is scum to find out if they're scum. Maybe I'm just a noob but that seems counterintuitive to me.) | ||

If your biggest reason for not lynching me bats is because I said I think you're town, lol, that's not strong enough. Especially if you think my reason for that was you "calling" me "out", rather than because I went back through your filter. I took the time to look at you again because I knew that my gut reaction on you and Oats had a lot to do with being overwhelmed and cranky. Yeah, Oats, I know I'm not sitting here shouting so-and-so is scum or building giant scum cases...or bouncing around like sicklucker does. I've been looking at process of elimination instead, because (and yeah, maybe this means I just suck at life in general) but I'm still not reading anyone strong on scum. There are bits and pieces of this and that but nothing I'd stake a case on. That said, we were all asked for top 3 scum, so these are the top three I'd feel comfortable supporting a lynch on today based on posting thus far: 1. Kush 2. Meat 3. Damdred | ||

Has yet to do so. Bats I actually said was reading neutral for me at the moment. The policy-lynch on kush was eh, whatevs, can see why he might and it mirrors what Breshke did, but he seemed to jump on the HTS scum wagon, too. He says now that wasn't the case, and his posts half-support that because earlier he did clarify to say that he could see why someone might read HTS as scum, not indicating whether he actually did or not. Don't like the contradiction on voting kush though. He said he changed his vote after kush posted, but in reality he changed it to you before kush appeared in the thread. I still find Damdred more scummy. That's why I've continuously mentioned it being weird to vote bats to determine if Damdred is mafia. One, I really doubt that they both are, because man they've backed themselves into a corner if they are and I like to think people are smarter than that. As far as kush is concerned, I don't see him contributing that much. He asks a lot of other people for reads, true...majority of his posts were helping to push dicksmash, though. The main thing for me, however, is I actually have to go through his filter to remember a single thing he's really said. Which means nothing he's done was significant enough to get my attention, while I can remember details about most of the rest of you just fine. Meatpudding...was just so off the wall. Beginning of game jokes, has to be prompted to contribute, the random digression on lynch policies mid-read on HTS, his general AFK stuff. Still say the guy's lurking. I was clear about the 24 hours in question being between when he asked someone for reads and when he posted his Marry/Bang/Kill list, and he says he posted a half hour before. Which he clearly hadn't. I'm looking directly at the filter. The list itself was just names, had to be prompted for explanations. The storm is legit enough, sure, but why was he AFK that long before? A different timezone does not equate to a 24 hr absence, and he dodged the question. Between him and slam, I've more reason to vote him because there's something off there. You, Oats...to be honest I'm not reading you as scum but at the same time I wouldn't at all be surprised if you did flip scum. You really do have this nasty habit of focusing in on only the details you want to see. You've jumped on half my posts before, asking questions where the answer was in the word right next to it... And maybe your definition of proactive is different than mine, but I think trying to narrow down scum by looking for town reads isn't useless. | ||

Just get this feeling if we vote bats, he's going to flip town. Okay, lightning. I'll buy it, because legitimately I was specifically asking you the questions about why you didn't want to lynch Day 1 because it did seem fishy to me. It was part of my first post on the thread, asking people why that made any sense, before I remembered who'd even said it. You may very well have felt pressured to when I started questioning you about it and making the case for lynching day 1 as a policy. That said...why? I'd outright said I got your explanation. Were you worried I'd start calling you scum if you didn't? Why would that worry you? You don't have a role if you're town. The players in the thread aren't following me (I originally was on slam, and only later switched to dicks). Half the people hear think I'm scummy or at the very least a jerk. Not a pied piper of awesome to mention a name and boom that person is lynched, lol. So what about what I said forced you to change your vote? | ||

On November 26 2014 08:02 Trfel wrote: I'm becoming highly suspicious of batsnacks. Looking at batsnacks' posts this game, it does seem like he hasn't contributed many reads or constructive comments at all. He has pressure voted kushm4sta, and tried to convince other people to vote for kushm4sta, as shown: Then Oatsmaster starts hinting that he might be mafia, and he responds as follows: He just starts attacking Oatsmaster, without actually providing any argument against the accsusations. It's been nearly 24 hours and I cannot find any critical thinking or logical reads from batsnacks. He has been only minimally probing for information, as well. Now, examining batsnacks' mafia history, it seems to show similar, non-accusatory play as mafia, but an ability to logically provide arguments against people as town. In Fantasy Football Mafia Mini 2, his most recent mafia game, batsnacks was a mafia vanilla. His posts generally seem to lack content, for example this: batsnacks did give some analysis in saying that robik seemed to be town in that game, which ended up being correct. But he failed to provide specifics or any real evidence of this: He also defends Liam from an accusation. Up to now, the only two real things he's said are claiming these two people to be town. At this point he is accused of being mafia, and this is his defense: He continues to not provide any true defense or explanation for his actions, and ends up being lynched on the first day. In his mafia game before that, Fantasy Football (FFL) Mini, batsnacks is a town vanilla. batsnacks accuses Oatsmaster of being mafia in this game (which ends up being incorrect). But when he defends someone as being town, he provides some support for this claim, and also shares his views a bit. Here's a critical analysis of a post in that game. It doesn't result in anything, but this post has more logic and scum-searching than his play to this point in the current game, as well as his play in the first game I mentioned, where he was mafia. Then he claims Hopeless1der to be mafia, which ends up being correct. I don't see any reasoning listed, though. This post also came after the first 24 hours of the game, unlike all of the other posts quoted here. I did notice this inconsistency between his post in this game: and this: Why the change? Probably just a change in his playstyle, but another explanation is that he is searching for mafia in that game, and has less incentive to do so in this game. Looking at batsnacks' play in the game preceding the above game, 2p2 Vanilla Werewolf 13er, batsnacks immediately comes up with a comprehensive look at GlowingBear: He's clearly thinking and investigating the posts, and trying to find the scum. Then he starts thinking that SkyDragon is scum: He continues to press on GlowingBear and SkyDragon. Both end up being town, but batsnacks is showing that he is capable and willing to attempt to find scum and provide logical accusations that other players are scum. In conclusion, batsnacks seems very suspcious because he has not yet provided any real content, particularly at least one accusation of someone being mafia with an argument behind it. This resembles his play in his last game, where he was mafia, and contrasts with his play in previous games where he was town. What do you guys think? ^ This all came from Trfel. Based on bats' play in previous games vice this one. On November 27 2014 07:31 Breshke wrote: Landslide you say? Okay if dicksmash wasnt totally uninterested in winning this game he would probably be voting for bats HIS SCUMREAD. so that leaves the votes at 4 to 6.

I can tell you what I've been looking for as a noob? 1. People who aren't consistent. You ask them a question and it doesn't match up with their previous posts. 2. People dodging questions entirely even after they're asked multiple times. 3. People who breeze in, post some, then disappear again. 4. People who seem to be posting a lot yet I can't remember what they actually said, because that means their posts had no new or significant substance to them. The vets could probably give you a better rundown than me. But if you have a reason to suspect someone, voice it if you're town. It can't hurt. Maybe someone else can take it and run with it, or explain why that reason isn't a good one. Keeping it to yourself won't win for town. Can't win if you don't try. | ||

Now sicklucker isn't playing afk at all, he seems to be poking and fishing around for responses. Could be ok, or could be suspicious. I think it was way too early to give a town read for that just based on Breshke's response. Really easy for anyone to make that call. Now, since sicklucker backflipped on the afk deal, maybe he is just saying Breshke is town, and fishing for more info, or maybe he really is posting that as a read. If it's a genuine read, I don't really think it's justified based on that small interaction. If it's fishing, then I can't really trust any of his reads because he can use that excuse to drop false information. Actually on first read I thought he was saying that Breshke's vote was townie, but now it looks like he was saying HtS's defense was townie. Hm, maybe it's not so bad. Would like to hear whar sicklucker is really thinking now. Often in other games players have put forward a Lynch all Lurkers and Lynch all Liars policy. I don't really agree with these but I was wondering if anyone else follows policy votes. Also in other games we have posted our reads in Marry/Bang/Kill format. I'll be doing that once some more people have posted. So no, you did not suddenly start posting when I asked where you were. That is my bad. And you were right about posting 30 minutes before. All that leaves in terms of why I was questioning you was the unexplained time gap of almost 24 hrs between the last post linked above and the request for a read on HTS. I thought you were avoiding the question, but I was asking it wrong because I'm a dolt. Could you explain that gap please? If you can, I no longer have any issues with you, especially if you remain active now. Meh I need to learn to timestamp better. | ||

That said...if I understand you correctly, Oats, you're saying that the primary reason you don't think kush is scum is because he's not making the effort to not look like scum? Is that right? Your vote of HTS looks pretty reactionary (though I don't remember your 3 scum reads to be honest, so he might have already been reading scum to you), and frankly yes, I do not want to lynch town, with 2 already dead, but if kush is town why does he care so little? He doesn't seem like he's been trying at all the entire game. (Thanksgiving holiday I could take for the latter part, but the whole time?) | ||

Oats...what bugs me about you is I can't follow your logic a lot. That might be a fault with me just being slow in the head, but, eh...I will say though that as far as kush is concerned although he's been an almost non-entity since the beginning and his reads are weak, mr. passive over there is a better lynch for not contributing anything. I'm still stuck on his trying to push a no-lynch on day 1. Yeah, we hit town. Okay. But I feel that the no-lynch option is better reserved for end game and watching what people are doing with the vote is too valuable to discard. Seems scummy. Also this I played too aggressive last game so I'm not this game seems reasonable on the surface, but as vanilla town, what do you lose getting lynched? Yeah, you don't want to, cause that hurts your team and it's annoying to get lynched when you're innocent. Got that. However he's willing to basically not play at all in exchange? Doesn't take any experience at all to realize you don't win as town without probing for scum. I'm shelving you for now, kush. Oats hasn't convinced me, but lightning is a better lynch imo. Especially if he's changed how he plays so dramatically and keeps using last game as his excuse for trying to hide in a corner. Scum hides. I didn't get too aggressive with him earlier cause I thought he might possibly have a town role again (which he seemed to be hinting at, an especially bad move while playing rabbit)... ##unvote kush ##vote lightningstrike Sorry dude.

However all you have to lose ls is you get lynched. If you're vanilla town that might help mafia win, but you have no role. If we all played like you no one would ever be lynched (not entirely true cause we'd all get mod-killed, but what, random voting based on nothing but instinct?) and we'd just be picked off one by one by mafia.

All town roles are dead, kush, and there were no town RBers. The first point is possible, but that doesn't explain why Breshke, just why his claiming being blocked could be a scum move. Weak by itself. I'm also not getting the reactionary HTS scum reads that keep coming here. New to the game, but I'm not a dumb person generally, so this is making me itch like crazy right now. Well, I'm no vet like you Damdred, but I know I was slow to get into the mix because I don't like pushing "scum" reads without something stronger to go off of. So what you're telling me is you think it's HTS for other reasons and because of the early supposed "town read" from sl, if HTS flips that's where you're looking. I'd buy it if sl played like he wasn't rabid lol. Though that does make me wonder where the rabid jumping bean sl has gotten off to. You're one of my favorite town reads, buddy (oh noes damdred will think i'm scum now) even if I think you're completely insane and probably the worst player in the game to blindly sheep heh. | ||

I still would lynch lightningstrike for playing the frightened rabbit I don't want to get lynched as a vanilla town so I'm not going to participate card, I still don't like how easy it was for Damdred to convince all the currently present players to flip on HTS and then claims it wasn't by citing the absent players still on kush as an example. I could keep pointing fingers or repeating myself, but I've made my opinions/reads pretty clear throughout the game. SL and breshke are still my strongest town reads. Why would I have a read on you already? lol Slam was completely null other than the AFK, which apparently was for personal reasons. Anyone trying to push you right now would be odd to me. | ||

I'm not sure of bats, personally, but am willing to admit that's probably biased with him coming at me so hard. Seemed opportunistic from my standpoint.

I'd still rather be voting LS. Yes I'm still stuck on that. I still think he's contributed a whopping nada. He's also been after meatpudding's ass at least since Day 2, so either he's bussing meat, i'm wrong (along with most of the rest of the players), or we're going after the wrong person yet again. With so many uncontested votes on meat... You're not getting why this feels off? @ bats, why would it be bad if LS turns mafia, so bad he shouldn't be voted? | ||

As for why I voted kush...he, Damdred and you were part of my original 3 when asked at the end of night 1. I started voting you and removed it because my only issue with you was the afking/lurking and what seemed to be dodging my questions (however you weren't; i'd phrased them poorly). There was a push at EoD Day 2 to consolidate votes on either HTS or Kush. I went with Kush. Bats then started coming after me for a list I'd posted at the beginning of Day 2 (when listing my top 3, of which kush was one) and everyone (Damdred, Bats, LS, Hopeless) tried to lynch me lol, couldn't because HTS wouldn't switch votes either, moved back to HTS last minute, and Kush was lynched, flipped town. If anyone has anything to add to that/disagrees with the summary, feel free. | ||

Meat is suspected by a lot of people. I am now because of what happened yesterday and bats' editing my posts (which he still has failed to explain/answer for). And LS. LS would be an easy push, but he tells all of us we shouldn't vote LS, that if LS is scum it's a bad lynch. Why? I was on LS yesterday before the vote consolidation. Trfel was building a case against Bats/Damdred. Dicks had spoken out against bats. That with all the votes on meat? Meat's an easier push than I am because bats has to sell people on the idea that HTS is scum...most aren't reading him that way. HTS or I being scum really only works if we both are. Bats has already started to push that idea. He asked Damdred for his reads right before he was killed, already knowing Damdred's reads (Damdred posted them soon after EoD when kush flipped town). Bats and LS...and probably Hope who came in just in time to play shenanigans. I think Damdred was used, then killed for the cred. | ||

As for the team, not sure on Hopeless. But Bats and LS I'm pretty sure on. Bats knew Damdred was dead before he turned up dead. Good guess, maybe, and yeah I could see Damdred being a logical choice for scum to kill, too. But bats really seemed to know. And what is this bs about lynching any scum being a bad thing? Of course this assumes that I'm town and I know a lot of you don't think that, and that the logic here As for oats...he seems to be trying to figure things out? I've never claimed to be sure of him, The third person scum I'm not sure on. I'm most sure on you, SL, and HTS as town right now...and leaning pretty sure on meat too just because of the way the votes are going. They should be trying to lynch me and aren't. Why pick scum over me? Doesn't make sense. | ||

I don't like your scum team mostly because everyone who was changing their votes around at the EoD is in them. Do you really think 3 scum would be apart of a 5 person lynch mob for now I really don't think that is the case. If you think bats killed damdred because he was townreading him why do you think I was roleblocked and trefel was killed? Trefels reads weren't imortalised with his death and lucky because he was wrong on at least damdred, so why would mafia think damdreds reads would not be reconsidered. I think Trfel was killed because he wouldn't come off bats, because he was trying the hardest in the game to figure things out, and because hardly anyone was reading him as mafia (though someone did say something about his long posts being scummy, only I can't remember who). I think both kills were solid town reads for the majority of the players in the game at the time of their deaths, which can only benefit mafia, since they can't force a lynch on them anyway. Not sure why you were roleblocked unless it was just because you've only been semi-active (pretty towny but not out there like some of the rest of the players) and they guessed you to be a likely candidate for a role. Not saying Damdred's reads would not be reconsidered. Saying that he and bats in each other's pockets plays really well to bat's advantage if he's scum, and until that little push where bats jumped on board bats was still being strongly considered. Plus SL all but said he'd follow Damdred's lead anywhere, and rolled bats right into that assessment. If bats is scum, he now has at least one town lackey. The other one most of us liked for scum is LS. I'm voting LS. ##vote LightningStrike | ||

And yes, I know. I can't give better reasons than I have already. It's frustrating. If you take it from the standpoint/assumption that I am town, it's a lot stronger, because pretty sure there are enough people willing to lynch me to make it easy. At least from what I've seen ever since EoD Day 2. So if meat is scum, don't see why mafia is bussing. Regardless, meat is a null read for me and ls has been a scum read for awhile. He was my vote for day 2 until I was asked to consolidate. Hell, ya'll can lynch me tomorrow if I'm wrong, because I screwed it for all of y'all lol. But you're absolutely right that mafia is in a prime position right now. They can afford to lose scum. So if I'm scum defending scum I'm an idiot for doing this -shrugs- | ||

and yeah you and breshke do have me wondering now if maybe they're not just bussing meat...but still, going with 3 mafia into day 4 has to be better, i would think. just running the numbers meat is town 5:3, town dies 4:3, lynch town with just 1 or 2 mafia reads from other town players (game) meat is mafia 6:2; town dies 5:2, lynch town with just 1 or 2 mafia reads from other town players 4:2, town dies 3:2, goes to another lynch round the second just seems way more risky. that's why i don't think it's a buss. could be wrong, but they could just get me lynched instead | ||

Rsoultion I would be voting LS right now but I dont want meats to think there is no pressure on him when he comes back to the thread because he needs to start being towny today. So thinking on that how do you feel about people being so happy to take their votes of meat and vote LS, like does it change your read on meat? I don't have an issue with you keeping to what you think, or keeping the pressure on. Meats not sticking up for himself is a valid point. Only scenario that makes sense to me with meat actually as mafia is if scum team was convinced one or the other (LS or meat) was bound to be lynched today so made a gamble. As for if all the votes swing? It's a little harder to judge when we've already been talking about it, since scum team knows why I held out to begin with. But it's early to get worried, I think. You, SL and HTS are my main town reads and Oats' moves have always seemed logical regardless of his possible alignment. Logic lies in scum trying to win quickly over slowly. Only reason to buss is if they don't think they have better options, especially when everyone but me was on meat. Can't really claim that means you were town later. | ||

And it's hard to argue HTS as scum when he refused to change his vote, and posted as town when he thought he'd been lynched, since those last two vote changes came in right on the edge and weren't counted. Bats started the tunneling on me, Damdred said I looked scum based off that, bats suggested the vote change, Damdred went with it...and the mess got started. Outcome was no different except he did a damn good job of discrediting me, making himself look good...then Damdred flips town when he's mafia-killed. It all seemed too convenient to me -_-. But I was reluctant to say much cause yeah going after the guy who went after you looks like just that. Going after the guy cause he went after you. But then it was like all aboard the meat train. You're right that it doesn't usually matter. It's just that even if you thought I was mafia (which would be dumb not to go with the flow) there's at least 1 mafia in that train. More likely 2-3. | ||

Dodging questions and not backing up your statements looks scummy, even taking out what I personally think of your play.

Can't say I'm not doubting my own play a lot here. Especially with meat's lack of any real attempt to defend himself or try to find scum if he's town. I've said before I could see bussing if both ls and meat are scum cause they're both high on most people's lynch list...but I don't much understand mafia bussing meat otherwise with a couple easy scapegoats and all the general confusion that's been going on this game. I know nothing of bats' meta (really hating this word this game, lol). His sulkiness isn't productive if he really is town though. It's not enough to get me to change my mind about ls at all. We've still got a day. Plenty of time to change votes back to meat if this silence keeps up. Not impressed with a gotta vote ls to save myself but I already wanted to vote ls response either, Breshke, lol. Feelin you on that one completely. For my part, just gonna wait it out and reevaluate after those of you who should be up during the wee hours of my morning (which doesn't usually include me @.@) get together. If anyone has a case in support of either meat or ls being town please bring it forward. You do make sense Breshke...any scum is better than no scum, which is what motivated my push for ls in the first place, when it seemed like the entire player base was good with killing off meat and I found that fishy. It's against my better judgment to just assume a player is bad at playing, but well...dicks really shot himself in the foot so who knows. Long story short, I'm willing to switch my vote to meat if both still seem this scummy and no one presents a good case to save either of them before EoD tomorrow. I just want to leave both options open for now, keep the pressure on both. See if anything else comes of this. | ||

The thing is, even though he was bouncing around a lot and I even accused him once of throwing everything at the wall and just seeing what would stick, his statements he usually backed up pretty quick (even if the logic wasn't terribly good in some of them). It seemed more like he was fishing and throwing ideas out there, which smacks of town behavior, not mafia. Not all of those quotes are Damdred-related, btw. That last one was referring to HTS if I remember correctly? Not Damdred though. And the dude really was badgering him about HTS in the beginning of the game. Read the first five pages or so it was kind of getting to the ridiculous point, so I understand his frustration -shrugs- (That said, Hope, have to agree with Oats that it's interesting that it seems you may be sheeping bats again. Or at the very least justifying his accusation when he returned to find the votes split.) | ||

But I did ask you to tell me, and you did, so thanks. Your second point you already made. I will concede that it is original. Yes, I did say that voting first day was better than abstaining. Yes, we know that you blame me for you choosing to vote dicks and dicks flipping town. Yada yada old news. Your third point about "bossing you around", I'm assuming you meant bossing, was asking questions. Giving suggestions as to how to find scum without power roles when you said you couldn't make reads. I've never told you what to think or who to vote for. I've done similar things with SL and meat, asked questions to bats and damdred. You're not special in that regard. Your next quote is clearly me expressing doubt. I did say when bats and damdred were pushing the shenanigans lynch that when I flipped you know where to start looking at...xP but that's a different quote. This is an original statement from you, too. Not very strong, though, considering neither bats nor damdred looked "scummy" to the rest of the player base at the time. I do believe everyone was singing their praises? As for keeping my vote on you this long...I believe you're scum. That's simple. Everyone knows I was uncomfortable with every single player voting for meat. So...again what's your point? That said, I did ask you for original thoughts and you did give some.

I'll figure out what it is sometime tonight...I feel like he's been a bit too go with the flow for a vet in this game, and if town is squabbling with town that's a great way to play. Anyway, my town reads for now are Breshke and HTS, probably town SL but I can see a world with him and oats with that bats vs oats comment from earlier, slight leaning town on meat, null hope cause he's basically a lurker...bats and oats I want a closer look at. | ||

Though looking back through, it was Hope who started the lynch push on me, after bats posted that list and Damdred said I was acting scummy with the hammer vote and that he wished more were around so they could lynch me lol. Hrum. Whatcha think? LS following bats (who he had a scum read on) around like a duckling a clever move designed to implicate bats if he ever flipped, or a new scum player transparently following bat's lead? | ||

I remember you being one of the last people to vote for meat, perhaps the last, bringing the vote to 7. Did that not raise a red flag for you then? You've been more or less non-committal about bats, though he's been throwing you under the bus any chance he can. That argument the first day set the stage for an oats vs. bats game. You're coming back hard at me for commenting that you're not a firm town read for me, but have you bothered to defend yourself from him? I don't recall that you have.

Breshke - Strong town I like the caution here. Questions everything. Isn't quick to sheep anyone. His reads, though not in line with mine, are well thought out. He deliberately draws people out and attempts to make them justify their actions/statements. All of this makes me more willing to believe his claim that he was blocked night 1. (Because yes, if the only reason I could find for his being town was the block claim, that would concern me, and I still doubt mafia would be so confident that Trfel was that last role as to not block anyone just to make the claim.) HTS - Strong town This of course assumes that you believe my alignment is town, but he refused to switch votes to me to save himself. His reasons for voting kush may have been wrong, and the argument can be made that town shouldn't go out on a limb for someone else, but even Damdred was willing to admit that he understood HTS' reasoning on kush. The only way I can see EoD 2 play as anything other than town is if he knew his scummate wouldn't get the vote in on time to lynch him. Otherwise it's not worth the risk if you're scum. Damdred and Hope were 00 votes, just on the cusp of making it. To deliberately get your vote in right before or right after deadline like that, so close, would take very careful timing. All 3 (bats, hope and damdred) were talking in those last 3 minutes, so no one was waiting by the post button watching the clock, or at least, I find it doubtful that they were. SL - Strong town He's all over the place, it's true, but it comes off more as whatever thoughts are going through his head at the time. Very stream of consciousness style. That he's not sure of things and changing his mind so much makes me think he's approaching the problem of finding scum from multiple angles, taking into consideration different what-ifs. I may not agree with his reads a lot, and this mindset he has that he's town so he doesn't care he's just trying to find scum, but his behavior itself isn't scummy. The fact that he seems to talk more when no talking is going on also supports the claim that he talks to get people talking. Meatpudding - Null leaning town Mostly circumstantial. Meatpudding has put in a few good reads. He and Breshke were talking during Day 2 I believe it was, and I remember thinking to myself when I read it that, regardless of whether I agreed with them or not, meatpudding seemed to be genuinely looking for scum. That's why I backed off him for a bit, before paranoia got the better of me again. Those few good reads are outweighed by the AFK and his not-terribly-good defense yesterday, though it did get better as the day progressed. So onto the mostly circumstantial part: two scums up for lynch? First, he was the uncontested vote of everyone in the player base. I was pulling teeth trying to get my point out there, and yes I did start cautious cause I knew people were looking at me hard for the hammer vote on kush and it went through my head that if I'm the one trying to push something people might just ignore it on principle...and oats is right. There wasn't a big pile on LS, which you'd half-expect if both were scum when it became clear LS was gaining traction and almost definitely going to be lynched. Oats - null I don't disagree with most anything he's said on principle, apart from a point here or there. A couple things bugging me about him though. He's very certain. So-and-so is scum, you have to see/believe, oh this is easy the scum team is definitely these people. He's been leaning hard on inactives/afkers/sheepers at least the latter part of the game. What's the likelihood that all are scum, and what makes him so certain about it? Also, why is he so certain about bats being town? Could bats be town? Yes. But who in their right mind wouldn't at least question it? I don't understand his sudden shift from bats is scum on day 1 to oh, okay, he's fine and then never another question. Can you answer that for me oats? Correction: 6th vote on meat, not 7th. Seems odd to me that a vet wouldn't even question that large a pile-on, but eh...he was the 3rd on LS though. And the only one on LS who I'm not almost completely certain is town, so if scum is going to buss he seems to be the most likely candidate. At the time, HTS and Breshke both looked willing to change votes, so high probability of an LS lynch at the time, and SL already had changed. Hopeless - null leaning scum Comes in to replace slam with about 60 pages to read. He did post a no-lynch vote, but at the time there were about six different players with votes on them, and he stated it was a placeholder while he was reading. He did start the shenanigans which is not something I was fond of lol, but continued asking people questions. About bats, what my reads were, etc. etc. even as the votes were playing out. He expressed doubt on lynching HTS...and I do like doubt, cause town is completely blind this game, but did it anyway based on his town read of kush. If he's with bats, he questions bats a second time, this time on LS, though doesn't change his vote. Excuse for AFKing is work. Weak case against SL. To me, if not for the extensive AFK and the comment about why bothering to try with meat being clearly scum, I'd be reading him as null or null leaning slight town. Bats - most probable scum Disclaimer: I am biased here. Early fight with Oats seemed pretty pointless, LS saying I forced his hand on Day 1 is only forced if he thought the other option of voting bats something he couldn't do. His vote when he voted dicks, if it had been on bats instead, would have brought the vote to 4 for bats vice 3 for dicks, and voting for the other outliers leaves it as 3 to 3. (Forget who tried to tell me that bats wasn't in danger of being lynched Day 1, but I say booya now lol i'm not going crazy. Though it looks like dicks tried to vote for bats but his wasn't counted because of a technicality, which is why it ended in 2 votes.) Hruuum circumstantial again, but HTS was echoing Trfel on the bats push. Odd how one died and the other nearly did. Caught bats in a couple lies/alzheimers moments when I was asking him about his HTS read. Bats has gotten progressively less active as time goes on in attempting to make reads/cases. Either he's super frustrated with us (odd given he stuck with it when he was under the gun) or he's staying out of the limelight and giving nothing but snark when he does comment for a reason. I see him defending LS all game, and when I said HTS and I probably had to be the same alignment he ignored me and later shifted from HTS being "townie" to possibly still mafia. I also find it interesting that he starts digging up something on me when I was pushing LS the first time and then went with kush over HTS. Seemed opportunistic. However, on that count, he did keep saying kush was town, so that could have been the motivation for the posts/votes at EoD 2. Conclusion: I'll probably be voting bats tomorrow unless people convince me another route is better. His getting progressively more silent/less helpful is something Damdred mentioned is usually a mafia trait for him, as well. I still do not think that he, Hopeless, and LS all are mafia since it seems a little too obvious...but, hey, people do make mistakes so it's possible. I would say though that I'm more suspicious of Oats than Hopeless if bats flips scum. Oats was all in bats' grill originally and now, when I would argue that bats is acting more scummy than he was in the beginning of the game, he seems very resistant to the idea that bats is scum. Odd, odd, odd. As a sidenote, since I just refreshed...yeah, I can see why you'd say that LS sheeping bats is not good enough, oats, and alone you're right, it isn't. But my case against bats was never solely that. LS was also a very new mafia player, so it's not crazy for him to make mistakes. Bats commenting on it could very easily be a way to say hey look, would I have commented if we were a scumteam? Especially if LS was going off the rails and doing things the rest of his team would have advised him not to had they had the chance. | ||

LS did post mostly null reads. Looking at all of them together might give more. And yes, it's true that Breshke could have false-claimed, and that it doesn't necessarily mean that he is the mafia RB cause all the mafia should know whether RB blocked anyone or not, right? I don't believe that he did, but the possibility does exist. | ||

And for lolz I will say When has bats ever really shown logical critical thinking skills!

The style and tone of his play and if you can remember him is his biggest mafia give away and lurkiness. I do not think that you are necessarily wrong in what you are saying, we should be very suspicious of batsnacks and if he really stops doing things and is forgettable we lynch him immediately. But i'm not confident enough as it seems he is trying to push something when talking to people he does ask for reads from people. You are now town to me. ^ Ironically it was actually in his defense of batsnacks when trfel was attempting to put together a partial meta-read @ Breshke. I wouldn't say precisely that bats has been forgettable but he certainly has stopped doing much of anything ever since day 2. I hate meta reads. It was just a stray comment, since I know some people put more emphasis on it than I do. I mean, Damdred tried to meta-read me based on my mafia play...and I've never played as mafia lol. I was a vig a couple times maybe that was what he meant. Anyway. I'm digressing. | ||

If meat is scum, we hit scum, which is awesome. If meat is town, it means scum voted meat yesterday. Okay. So you agree with Oats that meat probably isn't scum then? I'd just skip the whole voting meat thing, personally, if that's the case. Verifying what we believe we already know seems pointless unless lynching based on the assumption that meat probably isn't scum turns up town instead. Hopeless isn't a bad lynch. No one is arguing that, I think. But I don't know what new information we could get from a scum hopeless. New information is important, and just lurking isn't enough if you have other options. Just my opinion. I know that you can't really argue much else, though, since you're trying to get out of being lynched. Which isn't alignment indicative. But if you do have reads...something we're not seeing...always willing to listen. | ||

If he's not town he did a good job fooling the rest of us lol or at the very least a good job fooling me. That leaves you and hopeless, which I already said is possible...but unlikely. It seems more likely that we have a mafia on LS and a mafia on meat. That was what led me to oats in the first place, not because he's been particularly scummy, imo, but because he's not a town read for me yet and he should be by now. Only other option I see is breshke because of the late change, but he had every opportunity of shifting the vote back and didn't, and he was taking the lead on the scum search the entire day with his probing. If either HTS or Breshke are scum, they've played really well, because I don't suspect them at all, and this late in the game it's pretty easy to find reasons to suspect people I would think. | ||

I mean, I can see a world with meat being bussed right out the starting gate, and hopeless not taking advantage of bussing ls for the cred simply because he is AFK. I can see that being a thing. But ls, meat and hopeless as scum...all AFK/lurkers? It's possible, I suppose, just seems only slightly more likely than both you and hopeless being scum. I could get the AFK/lurkiness while town is squabbling, but with two scum up for lynch you'd think someone would do something to save their team. | ||

That's the weird part for me. I know it's harder to hide when 1 out of every 3 players is scum, but there was so much confusion and finger-pointing at the end of Day 2 that I don't understand why a buss attempt at all. Can argue that hopeless saw the train and jumped on, thinking it inevitable. Or that so many agreeing on a meat lynch before the day started convinced them. But take me. People weren't feeling good about me at all and I still was able to make a case for LS that people listened to. There's nothing inevitable when you have six townies who are more or less uncertain of most of the other townies, right? Regardless, policy lynching over a scum read seems like a good way to get burned. | ||

LS resisted voting when you were leading the lynch votes. LS stated you were scum, then suddenly started sheeping you with no explanation other than you "made sense". Your editing portions out of my posts then claiming that I was contradicting myself during EoD2. Threatening HTS with lynching if he didn't switch his votes. Declaring him townie then switching your stance to possibly mafia after I pointed out that HTS and I logically were the same alignment. Calling out Damdred's death before he died. Your general refusal to answer questions clarifying your stances on things. Example: Why LS is a bad lynch even if he's mafia. Trolling and insults rather than expressing alternative views. Your general absence yesterday. (You have been increasingly absent throughout the game.) The way the game has gone decreasing likely scum to you, Hopeless, meat and Oats. Every one of these can probably be explained, but the aggregate comes out very scummy. | ||

Meat and Oats, huh? Okay. You know what I find scummy about that? The most likely person to be scum with Meat is probably me.

I don't disagree with lynching hopeless on principle. Once again it looks like we're all going to be piling on the same person, though. Except bats who suddenly reversed who he wanted to vote without being able to explain it (at least not very well when I questioned his decision). Trying to tell me that you really think mafia is going to buss their last partner voluntarily when they just lost LS? I'm kind of surprised we're buying into the same mentality as yesterday. | ||

A mislynch today puts that at 3 town to 2 mafia. We are no better off today than we were yesterday. And people want to lynch a coin flip. Or gamble on both options yesterday being scum...2 out of 9. Possible, but highly improbable, especially with an early vote buss. Explain to me, please, breshke, what the purpose of an early vote buss would be for mafia? Later on in the day it makes sense. These votes came in within the first hour or so, one right after the other. We miss we're at lylo tomorrow. Who do we vote off of hopeless not flipping? Bats? Oats? Meat? Who do we vote if he does flip? What does hopeless tell us? He's been so afk we can't really analyze him even if he flips scum. Town missing today is mafia's best hope. Because they only have to misdirect us one more time. Town missing today is mafia's best hope. Why would they buss? If your doubts are all pushing hopeless why are you falling into line? We get it right...we start tomorrow at 4:1. We mislynch it goes 2:1. You really want to start tomorrow, either in lylo or mylo, with a flip that doesn't give us any further information? It's not enough just to get scum. But I've made my stance clear, and I'm not going to keep pounding it in. There are five town here today. Hopefully we can get this one right. | ||

So it's paranoia, flat-out. I want something to work with along with the wiggle room. Hopeless tells us nothing because he's been afk and analysis will mean jack shit. Meat opens a can of worms if he flips scum, and tells us nothing if he flips town. A town bats makes a scum hopeless way more likely, and all but clears oats. I don't like being paranoid lol. I want the question answered. If he flips scum we have wiggle room to check oats for ourselves. And I do not like how he flipped from meat being town to meat being scum overnight, so he could seemingly buddy up to bats.

Not really that concerned here, bats. You convince people to lynch me, tell them tomorrow that hey, it was still a good call cause I'm too stubborn...not much different than passively lynching hope. A mislynch is a mislynch. | ||

Make your case if you're going to make it. My reads and thought process have been out there since LS flipped. If town decides to lynch me for not buying that we should default to lurkers over my strongest scum read, town deserves to lose. So far your biggest complaint is that I want to lynch you first. And that lynching lurkers is better. I disagree. No surprise there. | ||

The lynch I don't understand is meat. Even after you explained it, it didn't make much sense. Meat probably flips town, and if he doesn't it's a finger pointing storm lol that I doubt we can afford this late in the game. Care to explain that one? (Nevermind explaining why you think voting someone who is "ignorant" over scum is a good idea) | ||

Also batsnacks you were getting confused when he reffered to something as a miss lynch he was referring to himself not hopeless. I also hope you didnt actually think rsoultin was mafia there as well. Honestly, Breshke, I'd have to go back through and see what about HTS has had meat gunning for him...this isn't the first time he's mentioned this. In broad strokes, however, there have been multiple times where meat has made reads/posted where it's clear he's been skimming and not reading. Which may explain why his posts make so little sense to you (I think you were the one who mentioned that, earlier.) Meat makes me uncomfortable. He's a shit lynch for the second mafia, though, at least unless there are no other options. And it is entirely possible that he's simply not putting in the effort to read the thread, or is playing badly because he's new. That said, he may have a good reason for seeing HTS as scum, so I will go back through his filter to see what the triggers seem to be.

Meat started out fine with HTS On November 29 2014 10:03 meatpudding wrote: So, my top scum read right now is kush. I'm on the fence about both Bats and Damdred. On bats, I haven't really been reading him as scummy for most of the game. So far, each case I have seen is not convincing enough for me. His posts are either null or town leaning for the most part. In fact, I would have put bats as a town lean which is the most likely scenario, except for something which make me consider a world where he is scum. His outright agreement with kush being the main thing. I haven't been convinced and I don't buy that bats would read kush town after such a brief amount of posting. So, because I feel that it's about 60-40 that he is town, I am calling it a fence read. On Damdred, I was leaning scum D1, but after that I have no strong feelings one way or the other. It's pretty obvious that he's not scum team with sicklucker as I first thought. And I doubt that he is scum team with bats. It could be the case, but I think a better guess is kush/bats or kush/damdred. Damdred's posts come off to me as distractions to town. He is acting very defensive about everything. He is asking questions often, but I don't see how they shape his reads. I feel like he is pushing on everyone who makes any kind of statement against him, but is just trying to corner them or wear them down in a 'do you really think that' kind of way. So, I don't really agree with his reads at all and I feel like he should have come a lot further than he has, considering his post count. I don't get his defence of bats, though I am inclined to believe that bats could be town maybe damd is trying to pocket. On kush, I have seen him as the most scummy player so far. He lurked D1 and basically didn't post anything except to directly answer questions. I think this is not even a null read, this is scummy, there is very little put forward to help town. What bothers me more about this is that even though he has not done anything to earn a town read, I feel like he has been given a free pass to the game. So I'm not sure what to make of this. Would his scum partner have the balls to say that kush is def town? I think that is a pretty bold move but it's wifom to think about. His D2 reads have been no better, and basically random. Breske? (lol) HtS? I don't feel that either. Is he just trying to see what sticks and jump on a wagon without making a case? Meanwhile he I feel like he is being covered for by a partner. Either that or town is being really dopey. LS i am null leaning scum. I think he pretty much takes slam's place on the list. Something about his posts has kind of bothered me, like he's lurking but not pushing. What makes me suspicious enough to call scum is that kush never mentions him nor interacts with him at all. He gives a D1 scum read with no backup and then just drops on it. Hm. My town reads from least to most are oats, HtS, rasputin, sicklucker and breshke. The last three especially are pretty legit. The flip seemed to come from that voting analysis. On December 01 2014 09:56 meatpudding wrote: here's some vote analysis that i wrote during the night. I'm going to have to rearead and revise my reads obviously. HtS Votes kush obviously to keep himself alive when he was the other wagon. Can't read into the alignment here. meat You can see my reasoning for suspecting kush in my other posts. Breshke Idk why breshke chose to vote kush, maybe because he was lurking. rsoultin Not sure actually why he votes kush when he said Damdred was his scum read. D1 final count batsnacks (2): Oatsmaster, Trfel, Breshke Dicksmash Mcironcock (6): kushm4sta, Damdred, Half the Sky, LightningStrike, SickLucker, rsoultin, Alakaslam sicklucker (1): meatpudding Trfel (1): batsnacks D2 final count Kushm4sta (4): Breshke, meatpudding, Half the Sky, rsoultin Half the Sky (3): Oatsmaster, Batsnacks, LightningStrike rsoultin (2): Hopeless1der,Damdred batsnacks (1): sicklucker conclusion excluding sl and breshke for the time being pretty unlikely that hopeless and damdred are both scums, but likely that one of them are. one of oats, bats, LS likely to me mafia one of hts, rasputin. I'm kind of leaning town on both hts and rasputin. I would consider taking another look at brashke. Kush's suggestion on the roleblock scenario seems too far-fetched. MAYBE the roleblocker was afk and breshke claimed, I doubt it so much. My best guess based on the votes is HtS, LS, Damdred That was before he realized that Damdred was night-killed...and yeah Oats said it, that this assumes that mafia never votes together on anything. Beyond that I see a little back and forth between HTS and meat... Some of meat's earlier reads were well-thought out, though. I'd like to see some real reads from him again. @Oats, I took the time to read the context for most of HTS' posts...I'm probably just being paranoid about you and bats lol. Though bats is still my top scum read. One question though: On November 28 2014 01:33 Oatsmaster wrote: Yeah pretty much. Hes a straight up coinflip. We only have 1 more lynch before either mylo or lylo. Lets not lynch a coinflip. What's changed between then and now? | ||

If you don't think bats is scum, hopeless is the obvious vote. No arguments here on that one. And you said you had a null read on him. If you've got reasons he isn't scummy I'd like to hear them. You were on him Day 1, but then that changed, and I don't remember why. | ||

Again, the interactions with Lightning Strike are interesting because i find it hard to believe that lightning sheeps his teammate so blatently. That's fair. I'm basing my voting off assumptions regarding probable mafia strategies and process of elimination as well, so can't fault anyone for that, even if our conclusions aren't the same. If you couldn't vote for hopeless, who would you be voting for? Meat? | ||

Hrum, well, regarding meat at least, he and ls were scum reading each other from earlier than Day 3, but that could be a possible strategy rather than indicative of meat's alignment. Granted I'm not happy with meat's later posts and the fact that he doesn't seem to be actually reading. Not sure that that's alignment indicative either, though. I'd think mafia would be paying more attention to the thread... | ||

Bats...he just never backs anything up. So I am making the assumption that his not being able to answer questions, or support his statements, his random tangents that don't hold much water, are scum behavior rather than him just being someone who doesn't know how to reason things out or present his ideas. It's a backhanded compliment I know. But I'm not trying to convince you. I'm more just thinking aloud. If Bats didn't make me twitch I'd be voting for Hopeless, too. Not giving meat a bye but I find him less likely than the other too. I know I'm running counter to Breshke as well. So question: Why would HTS not change his vote to keep from being lynched EoD 2 if he was scum? Honestly that's the main reason I'm not considering him in my unknown pool. That and nothing from him that just screams scummy, weird or no. So I'm assuming then that you're pretty sure of me and Breshke. | ||

Bats, Damdred, Hope and LS ran shennannies when I chose kush over HTS (I really hate meta defenses on ppl I've never played with by ppl I've never played with, cause I can't really confirm that very well), piled on me. Bats told HTS he'd best change votes or they'd lynch HTS. HTS refused. They didn't have enough to lynch me. Almost lynched HTS except two of the votes came in right at 00 and weren't counted. | ||

I've read some of his games. I wasn't blowing smoke up anyone's arse about that. He does seem to be more active as town, it's true. He also filled up several pages just since LS flipped...very inactive Day 3. Quite active Day 1 and today when his name was being brought forward for lynch -shrugs- I didn't find the old games really definitive one way or another, taking into account alignment and how soon he was lynched/killed. But I haven't played with him before. | ||

And at this point in the game, unless I can prove I'm town somehow, I will very likely end up being lynched, if not today then tomorrow. All I need to do is establish which of meat/oats/bats is town before then and hope people listen to that. True enough. If you can give us some reads on those three, HTS and I were already willing to vote someone else and Breshke is open-minded at least. Can't really speak for the other three. | ||

1. Ls sheeping argument has holes. i was pushing him day 2 before we consolidated and thus his biggest threat. he had every motivation to get rid of me. meat everyone was agreeing on so it would seem to be a safe vote. 2. We dont vote bats today, breshke or i bite it tonight (possibly hts but ppl still are doubting him for weak reasons) so today is probably our last chance. 3. All our question marks are on hopeless. bussing argument means nil if everyone under scrutiny can claim it. 4. Based on todays opinions we can still vote hope or meat pretty easily tomorrow. | ||

It would have to take some ingenious orchestration and a hefty set of balls to pull off EoD 2 if you were working with someone. You'd have to be working with hopeless if anyone. If both LS and meat are scum the third could practically be anyone. Which is why I didn't want to go after meat. Didn't want to be where we are now. Breshke. If he's scum he plays super town. Though why he was stuck on hopeless then suddenly so willing to change to meat when both hopeless and bats were his two top scum reads concerns me. And that's not good -_- But then he was quick to change his vote back to hopeless...and bats could have changed his vote back and been fine. So I dunnae. I really don't get why the shenanigans happened at all, to be perfectly honest with you. Oats. Was gonna come after him real hard if he kept up on you because that seemed like willful blindness. He seems okay though. Hope and Meat seem like the obvious scum...really hating meat's posting. | ||

I mean, hopeless is. If he's not scum we're losing tomorrow lol. Dude, if he's not scum, he's an idiot town for pulling this crap anyway. Shenanigans to save himself. He said himself he knew it was going to be today or tomorrow. If you're town, and it's inevitable, don't go all slimy and trick people into voting someone else. Eh, hating meat's posts. Obvious scum. That's why I don't like it. Get uneasy feelings when things are too obvious. And yeah, I thought you were going to be framed, too. That's another reason I'm not sure about meat. If someone wants to frame you, HTS, they want to do it most likely cause meat will definitely jump on the train. Doesn't make sense otherwise. And if that's the case meat probably isn't scum, just bad at playing town. My conclusion is we need better town players in general lol. >> That and I should be less biased against meta arguments but whatevs. | ||

Okay, wild and crazy weird, don't immediately kick me... But what about LS, Oats, Breshke...is there any way that makes any sense? Bussing for the cred and LS' days are numbered. (Initially fine w/ meat) Oats starting to set up a possible frame job on you cause meat likes you for scum. Breshke has been pretty adamant on votes at beginning of Day 3 being unimportant, and meat still likely scum...but votes on Day 3 were what tipped me off something was nuts. Breshke was oddly defensive about SL bringing up him as an unlikely possibility. First a joke about his average, then more seriously commenting we'd have to think he was with meat. Possibly encouraging us to lynch meat first if we got suspicious? Then shenanigans today... Seems farfetched lol. Shenanigans -_- Still don't like them, and it's beginning to become a don't like them on principle sort of deal. Eh, I'll just virtually beat hopeless if he was an afk, slimy townie. ![]() | ||
