Why don't you try to push your top scumread? If you're town, that's the best thing you can do right now apart from fielding questions.

the next post he says:

I've got to eat right now but if you want me to I can run through my full thoughts on jarjar from the past couple of days when I get back if you like.


I responded with do whomever you want, but give us something.

I believe he was and is not willing to scumhunt. I wanted to see anything that wasn't something that was an easy sheep like what any LS case would be. I read his first quote as Jarjar looks better than he was before. His mafia team sounded pretty unconfident.

It's frustrating. I don't like that I feel town has to pressure some of these people to actually scumhunt (celestial, silver, gum). LS maybe doing weird bad shit, but at least he was trying and would engage with people (until a couple posts ago anyway).

The impression I was getting was he wasn't willing to make any stand of any kind. I would think that if I had no real reads or suspects by now, I would do something to change that rather than sit back and do nothing.

He's being lazy or already has the game figured out because he's mafia.

What do you think about Celestial's can't be assed to do anything when he is saying WW is a bad lynch, and Shining and LS both were scumreads of his at the time, HTS?


Well that's where his singular vote comes in as scumlike. Even if he didn't have the same problem as you (in terms of time constraints) I think he should have switched after the blue claim. That is part of the reason he's in the scumpile for me.

Also, re: Celestial's case on me, it could be summed up as:

- Keeping vote on WW (already explained)

Meh, no reason for me to even respond to it. Will say that there is a ton of words there to repeat the same things, though.


Same problem I'm having with it. Same stuff, different conclusions. That's also why I want a D2 update.

Some of the things he's said, like being concerned about being consistent, rub me wrong, too. I keep going...eh, he's new...but at some point that excuse has to run out. Maybe? I don't know ><

Then there's Celestial. I think I'm starting to scum read him as well. I didn't like that he just parked his vote on jarjar. I also don't like how he seems to be going whichever way the wind blows. He's easily swayed with whoever is posting at the time. For example he hopped right on the LS train with me, then when I was gone for a while he backed off it, only to start agreeing with me more when I got back in the thread. Another example is he did a bit of an OMGUS on rsoultin after day 1, but immediately said he was willing to give he the benefit of the doubt. That's scum behavior in my mind. Scum read.


If you actually check my posts you'd see I was already calling LS out with my original set of reads BEFORE you posted something to really set me off on that path; so no, it wasn't just you.



You are lying and I can prove it.

Before my post, this is the only mention you made to lightning strike. And even though you say he posts fluff, in that same post you go on to say his last post was good and he gets some credit. The next time you mention LS, is quoting and agreeing with me.

Then I filter-dived for my second set of reads to confirm stuff before voting him; which was a very long time after you posted. But when LS demonstrated that he's played exactly this way before that set some doubt there, so getting off him was absolutely nothing to do with you. And note that I didn't switch back suspicions to LS because of you. Again, check my posts. I questioned you for your opinion on LS and then when LS decided to throw out a vague, apparently panicky, claim THAT is what made me suspicious of him again.




Oh really?

Ok I've taken the time myself to read over the evidence that LS presented and...actually its pretty convincing. Although I think meta reads, especially based on just one game, can easily be manipulated he IS playing this very similar to the way he has in the past and it IS from three separate games so...yeah well done there.

I can't in good faith vote LS anymore. His playstyle is just too consistent between townie games there and it has severely shaken my confidence on it. I don't really know playstyles very well of course but those links were fairly convincing. Of course LS could be deliberately selecting evidence but it doesn't feel like that, it feels more like a genuine attempt at convincing. Not a D1 lynch for me anymore.



At this point in time I had been gone from the thread for a while. And thus the discussion moved away from LS for a while. As does your vote, and your vocal suspicions. Next comes:

@ExO_: What are your thoughts on LS (and others) pointing out he's played exactly the same way when he's been town on several previous occasions? I've been somewhat persuaded by that enough to conclude that for now I don't think he's the best D1 lynch. I mean I'm still not won over to make him town, but ideally we're looking for a D1 mafia lynch and I don't think he's the one to guarantee it

You finally go back on to LS with:

Had dinner. Going off to do some other things now but before I do I have to say that claiming like that brings my sights right back onto you, LS. Nobody actually asked for a claim off you and its not like you were under a huge amount of pressure. ExO was the only one really on you and you'd convinced me to give you the benefit of the doubt for a while with your past citations.

But a softclaim like that just a few hours before the deadline when nobody is actually pushing you makes it look as if you're panicking honestly. And that makes me incredibly suspicious once more

ExO, there is. In Student Mafia IV (my own first game), he was a mafia goon. And he showed in his posts that he had more to hide in that game. At least in comparison I think.

I'll admit he had more initial scum reads at first. But then, there's this his first big "read" post:

Okay since now that my cousin and his wife and son have left I can finally give you guys my current reads for the time being.
Breshke: Town since he displaying the same kind of approach for today as he did in my last game when he was town.

Batsnacks: Null leaning town since he is acting close to the same way he did last game with me when he was a doctor but he been dodging questions from Oatsmaster and Half the Sky.

Damndred: Null leaning town since he was one of the major pushers for the lynching of DSIM without much of a good reason and been defending Batsnacks actions but at the same time he been giving losts of questions although DSIM didn't respond well to the questions.

Half the Sky: Town since he been giving good reasonings for his reads throughout the game although I don't like his case for Batsnacks being scum based on my own experience playing with Batsnacks in my last game.

sicklucker: Town because his posting style had pretty much stayed the same from the last game I played with him although he did looked very scummy in that game but he was just a Vanilla town and since our power roles had been lynched/killed I having a safe bet that sicklucker is town.

meatpudding: Null leaning town he had some decent questions after being gone for a while and now he claiming to have no power at his house it could be a scum move because one of the scums in my last game tried to pull that move but failed so perhaps meatpudding could scum.

alakaslam: null leaning scum since he not posted much of his reads but he also admitted to notread much of the thread during the time of us lynching DSIM but I need to see more posts of his though since he said he had to go earlier in the thread to confirm my suspicions.

Oatsmasters: Town since he been asking lots of questions to everyone and been trying to lead the discussion when he can which isn't a trait a scum member would do.

kushm4sta: Null leaning scum since he not been contributing a lot like his last scum game which was my last although he did give a couple questions to people he also didn't post much so I need to wait for him to post more so I can get a better read on him

rsoultin: Null leaning town since he trying to ask some questions and responding to questions he been asked by others although he did convence me to lynch DSIM that is haunting me because of my last game experience :|


Look Familiar?



HTS and I have a discussion about LS, and then you went back on him.

So at the very least, you are lying about suspecting LS before I posted. You pushed suspicion onto the WW train while carefully parking your vote on jarjar. You have been careful this game and generally agreeable. But if there's one thing I believe:

Liars should be lynched

People make mistakes. But I believe your post is intentionally misleading, not accidental.

I brought up his post on JarJar to give validation to the fact that he did change and had reasons for no longer chasing down JarJar. That said, if you look at the argument concerning Rsoultin, it flips back and forth in how it reads. SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and if you read the posts individually, they made sense to me at first. But considering it's seemingly a pattern, that's why I raised questions on it.

Moreso, we do see a consistent pattern with (as Rsoultin said to give credit where it's due) the WW bad Lynch and a general unwillingness to press his own votes.

LS, I give a lot of credence to the case. A lot of bad 'juju' if you will in the pattern of his votes/targets.

Right now? My vote is parking on Celestial (which is supported by the post before this one, not just this one).

OK quick rundown of the why on this post. I'm worried I might miss the EOD because of work because its been pretty busy as of late xD Christmas is definitely over! Chances me missing it ARE slim though.

I'm giving my top three lynch targets. They are the same as before. I'm attaching percentages to them. This is % chance they are mafia in my book. 27% (3/10 +/- 3%) is the lowest % you can have. I'm attaching mini-normal % increases based on how the dead voted and giving myself a 3% buffer for on my opinions of their play so far.

1. LS- 46%. 14% increase based on dead votes and a 2% increase based on today's play and the day 1 claim. I still sympathize with LS, but that's why I'm using equations over my feelings. One of the cases I saw with LS in also had everyone on LS's balls for almost the whole game (at least based off votes).

2. Shining- 39%. 9% increase based on dead votes. 0% on my opinions of the 2 days play.

3. Tube Sock- 38%. 11% increase based on dead votes. 3% decrease based on play. The early waffle vote on tube hurt tube a lot. I also wonder if waffle wasn't under pressure, if he would have kept the tube vote. But I have really liked tube's play today. I liked his theory, however flawed it was.

My estimate is very flawed. I only have 2 past cases of voting history to go on as of now. I also haven't really attributed any points towards good voting. But it's all I've got, besides my opinions.

If I make it back before the votes, count on me switching my vote from LS to a bandwagon I agree with IF my vote is alone AND I can use my vote to lynch someone on this list. I'm providing my %'s of everyone else if you are curious, not explaining them though because its 3 in the morning. Hope this helps understand my thoughts.

4. Gumdrop 33%
5. Silverarte 33%
6. Celestial 32%
7. Rsoultin 31%
8. Exo 30%
9. HTS 28%


I would like some context with your numbers. Currently, Celestial is my top scum pick. If I were to % it, it would be something like 90%.

It's obvious you do some sort of equation (your sister said so, and this post basically says so). Is 46% high for a Day 2 vote? I'd assume these numbers will all go up Day 3? I mean for your top scums?

I'm asking from the perspective realizing that our approaches are different, but if I thought my top scum was a 46% prob., I'd be freaking the fuck out.

Back in thread.

LS, there is enough waffling that ExO has a point with the intentionally misleading part, especially after all the back and forth I've seen with his other reads. Again, don't like his case on Rasputin. It reads as if he's trying to hedge his bets on her and then he'd vote her if the crowd went that way. And those are common scum traits. It does not add up.

The voting thing has it up in the air between you and him. And voting is by far the most solid evidence. I already explained the problem with Celestial's vote and why he is scum from that. But I am sure there is one vote somewhere on that WW wagon. Can you go through one more time, why you voted Waffle D1? I'm still struggling with exactly why you did not believe his blue claim, and you also had a scumread on Shining D1 looking at your filter, unless I'm reading something wrong.

Explain to me:

1 Why you voted WW initially
2 Why you didn't believe his blue claim
3 Once he claimed, why a scumread on Shining was NOT enough for you to switch to Shining.

Finally as I have just mentioned with Tubesock and discussing Silverarte, I'd also like to see (when you are back in thread) some discussion of Rasputin's D2 activity.. You obviously think she is scum, so I would imagine there is some reasoning behind her current/latest actions where you feel that read has not changed.

So when you return I'd like to see that when you can.


rsoultin D2 hasn't been doing much of suspicion for me because, again, its actions vs language for her for me. And at the moment we're at the point of "language" whereby its just questioning people, and her questioning has been good. Jumping on my train isn't alignment indicative particularly (despite the temptation for me to OMGUS it) because there's a bunch of people on it right now anyway. I'm not going to outright condemn someone just for voting for me.

@Celestial, one townread is one townread. 2 townreads is a couple. Explain to me how 3 reads leaning town so early in the game is not a bunch? As I mentioned in the post you responded to, I've learned that Mafia, especially Day One, likes to hide behind those big posts with a couple of town reads to hopefully gain some credit. It doesn't escape me that your 3 Town reads were:
Trfel - NK. He didn't like your big post but never got to elaborate on you. Confirmed town.
ExO - Aside from me not liking his early attacks with too little follow through for my liking, most everyone here liked his play and the points he made. I'm almost willing to chalk it up to my newb play and meta bias from past games with him that I seem to be the odd one out but it's convenient that he's a Town read for you, too. It's almost too easy to sheep multiple players believing ExO is town.
Shining - Me. I had already been under suspicion for my questioning Soultin and HTS. It's another free town read for you as scum. Why were you one of the ones Town reading me for the same posts everyone else was scumming me? Because you expected my wagon to pick up more. Once I flip town, you can say "I told you so, guys, let's stop mislynching" and try to lead the discussion. Sort of what you did with WW. Although you didn't Town him, you did go "against" his lynch, somewhat. However, after looking at the Voting Thread and your filter, this troubles me:

Okay. Parking my vote on the waffle or now. It took prodding to get him to post in the first place...after boldly proclaiming he was getting a ton out of people's wording without any follow-through as ExO pointed out...and then his post was on just one of HTS'. Since then (and that was early in the day) he's done diddly.


I tend to agree with this assessment to be honest. I had WW down as leaning scum right from his early attempt at analysis but its just gotten drastically worse since then.


See, you go from scumming WW to saying it has gotten worse. However, once WW's train received it's 3rd vote, you started backpedaling. Probably to have some deniability on the wagon you wanted to go through?

Ok I've taken the time myself to read over the evidence that LS presented and...actually its pretty convincing. Although I think meta reads, especially based on just one game, can easily be manipulated he IS playing this very similar to the way he has in the past and it IS from three separate games so...yeah well done there.

I can't in good faith vote LS anymore. His playstyle is just too consistent between townie games there and it has severely shaken my confidence on it. I don't really know playstyles very well of course but those links were fairly convincing. Of course LS could be deliberately selecting evidence but it doesn't feel like that, it feels more like a genuine attempt at convincing. Not a D1 lynch for me anymore.


I'm going to take a chance and remove my vote from there and put it on someone else. Its between WW, Shining and jarjar for me, as per my reads earlier. I agree with Tube, WW isn't the best candidate. His opening post was weak and he's said nothing since then but that isn't enough for me to lynch him at this early stage. I'd like to see more from Shining before I could put a vote down there. So I guess I'm going with jarjar for now since I have to vote for SOMEONE and frankly I really don't like his posting at all, it looks really scummy; was also the second highest read on my list so...

Why is Rsoultin more scummy than Gumdrops, Trfel, Silver, and me? I get why you town ExO so hard, and HTS but not the next 3 on your list?


I think I'm still somewhat tainted by rsoultin's original impression on me. I really, really didn't like what appeared to be bluehunting (the reasoning for which I posted a little while back, I can quote it if you like). Though she has improved somewhat since that I'm still wary.

Gumdrops I've just flat out not seen enough from to make much of a judgement call. Same with Trfel. But both of them posted something that appeared to be reasonably thought out so slight leanings towards town. Trfel also stated in advance he wouldn't be around for a bit and Gumdrops just seems awkward about posting. I can't condemn either of them to scum for that.

Silver I have literally no idea about, as I posted. I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts because to me it just appears to be a mix.

You didn't start great which is why I leaned you towards scum, but I didn't find your opening to be as scummy as rsoultins was and you've both improved in my eyes to the point where you're both back to neutral. But since rsoultin started off with slightly more damning posts you're slightly more in the townie direction than she is.


All of your "lynching WW is silly" was after the wagon already picked up speed. I've already explained why you'd throw away a vote as scum once the lynch already looks secured. Also, as EoD got closer, I asked my question about ties. At that time, it was WW's 4 to my 3. Your question was:

In the case of a tie, the first person to receive that number of votes would die.


So even if someone other than WW got a vote he'd still die?


This was your opportunity to figure out if you needed to join one of the main wagons or not. If ties end in no lynch, you'd vote either WW or myself in order to ensure a town mislynch. Also, can I point out(since I filter-dove you pretty hard) that you also scummed Tube, but sheeped his WW read? It's quoted above but you said "I agree with Tube, WW isn't the best lynch for today."

And I just hit Celestial's massive post on my case. First, a case on LS when we've all beaten it to death and now me, pretty much the only other viable wagon besides yourself(who you can't vote) and LS(possible scum partner)? I guess I'd pick the easy way, too, if I were scum. Let me finish reading up but I'm interested to see how many of these bullets are parrots off of others. Also, you're scumreading me after I scumread you. Convenient.

More to follow after reading Celestial's case against me and everything after.



Why are you flat out lying about the course of events? Did you somehow miss the part that RIGHT AFTER rsoultin posted about voting WW I posted my set of reads in order of town to scum in which I cited my most likely scum were LS, then jarjar, then you, THEN WW?

I DID feel that the WW lynch was silly because I felt both you and jarjar were better lynches. But I did NOT feel strongly enough about it to change the course because I still had some suspicion on the guy. AND I've been scumreading you since then too. Proof:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/474146-newbie-mini-mafia-lx?page=17#322

This post listed my town to scum reads in order of most likely on the scale. At which point you had been scumreading ExO as far as I know, not me. So actually, YOU'RE the one scumreading me AFTER I scumread you. AND you're lying about my views on WW, jarjar and yourself. AND you're deliberately misrepresenting me to get on a train that you had absolutely nothing to do with but is a nice easy target. "Convenient."


But you know. Whatever. I don't care anymore. I spent six hours last night dealing with condescending attitudes from people when questioning me. And now all three of my scumreads have found reasons to get on that train. Nobody is listening to a goddamn thing I say evidently. People are flat out lying and misrepresenting everything I say and not a single person apparently cares to actually notice that.

I was slightly wound up last night by people's attitude but coming in and seeing MORE of the same has just completely turned me off playing. Do whatever you want. I'm not doing this anymore. You've treated me like shit with the condescending attitude and I'm severely hacked off. Go ahead. Lie some more about me. I've played this game completely straightforward but people insist on twisting stuff around.

I am done with this. AFK.

2. Shining- 39%. 9% increase based on dead votes. 0% on my opinions of the 2 days play.


Shining has posted in D2 and should I interpret this as you not getting any alignment indicative information from him? If so, why?
