Why LS?

He's actually got a decently long filter for this game, though if you can't remember anything LS said even so, that's not really a point in his favor. What about this post of his, Tubesock? Thoughts and/or impressions?

Lol @ Tube. You were lynched because I was a dumbass. It really was that simple. I wasn't even scumreading you xP just convinced that Templar was a mislynch.
Okay, so while I get why people are scumreading LS, I don't think that him giving reads on demand that are mostly town/null is all that scummy. By itself maybe...
But I really like this post of his, that features him asking others for reads and making a point on Trfel's "free" townie points that doesn't feel scum-motivated to me:

He also has one of the longer filters.

Unfortunately TL Mafia and Fourm Mafia in general is quite different then Town of Salem and SC2 Mafia where it's not reliant on role claiming so early and also much faster Days and Nights. Im afraid this isn't true, as I've played video mafia with her just a few days ago. As far I know Rsoultin is a guy but until Rsoultin say he is a guy or girl my view wont change.Also I know we got at least 2 girls playing this game. Also what your thoughts on me?
Based on meta (which I know y'all don't like, but others can verify/dispute who have played with him) I don't see LS asking others' for their opinion on him out of the blue as scum. He's not that confident a player. He also has an almost ridiculous tendency to use meta arguments almost exclusively as town, which I see him doing again with his reads on Trfel, HTS and myself. Though at least he's confining it to players he's actually played with this game.
Scum or town, I <3 you LS. No offense intended lol.

I've only played with Shining once before, but I would agree with Rsoultin on the Shining vote solely on his behavior in our last game when he was mafia in the early days of the game. She did the same thing, scumreading most people that scumread her each time. It is possible that she just always does that (I'm an easy target if you want to fire back Shining!), but I would say that the chances she's scum are higher than the solid 27% probability for the rest of ya'll.
Is it ok to pass judgement based on previous games?
What is blue hunting?
Sorry I called you a girl LS. You're last post had 0 scumreads. If you were to pick someone to lynch as of now who would it be?
Blue-hunting is scum looking for town power roles like the cop or the medic...I'd have to look back at the OP to remember who they were in this game. Think Jack Bauer was the cop. A good example of that would be KSC in Carol. He is scum and claims that a power role should claim, then tries to say that he made the comment to get a read on another player.
It is okay to base reads on meta (prior experience/knowledge of the player's style). I wouldn't base your whole read on meta, though, and it will be hard to sell to others who haven't played with them before.

I ,3 you too rsoultin also what is your thought my rather large post earlier?
The one with your explanation of your reads? Mostly just that you don't seem sure about anyone yet and are generally reading those who post a lot as town and those who post little as null.
I'd like to see more from you. So you don't find any behavior/posts scummy, just inactivity? Gumdrop would be a lurker lynch, I think you'd agree. Unless you're seeing something I'm not?
|
So, just to clarify, you find none of the active players null or null leaning scum?
|
Okay. It annoys me when people are inactive as well. My bias is to ignore inactives, especially if we might have a vig to take care of them, but if I did that in our first game together town would have lost...so...
You mentioned Shining being null, LS. I've already said why I think he's the most likely scum out of the bunch. Do you disagree? See a point that I made that you think is wrong or weak?
|
It's actually not meta, LS. It's that there are a lot of words with little content, and Shining's read on ExO seems to misrepresent ExO by claiming that ExO is just jumping from scumread to scumread with no logical line of thought. The only change I saw was switching off JarJar before he returned. Everything else was explained to my satisfaction, at least.
JarJar mentioned meta. He could link you.
|
Well, Gumdrop, that's the nature of Day 1. We're all just spewing at each other to see what we can get out of each other's posts, and most of it probably won't be very strong. But since we have to lynch someone tomorrow...
The best thing you can do to help improve those reads as town is talk and get others to talk to you.
|
Shh no one will trust me JarJar if they know I habitually screw the game in LYLO as town lol >< Course they already know my reads aren't godly. (This is why I encourage y'all to look at the reasoning and evaluate for yourselves.)
Yes, I lost that game for town woot!
And yes, Tubesock, in that context I would say that Shining appears to be sheeping ExO's read. Maybe we should ask him what he meant.
|
Regarding LS, I'm still okay enough with him not to support an LS lynch Day 1. He's been asking questions and trying to get people to give reads.
Regarding celeste...probably not a Day 1 lynch. Seems to be putting in a lot of work if he's scum. I expect him to put in similar amounts of work as the days progress. If he drops off the face of the planet...cause it's hard to sustain analysis like that for long as scum...then I think a lynch may be in order.
Regarding gumdrop...I'm actually getting more okay with a gumdrop lynch. Kinda convenient when he decided to drop in with basically just another excuse not to post. We'll see.

The main reason I thought you were suspicious was it felt you overlooked it and were more concerned with focusing me. However, ExO saying you're definitely not a Day 1 lynch is something I'll keep in mind going forward...
I need to work on my reading. Do you guys read the bolded as as sheep, or maybe future evidence?
So...I know I'm being particular about your wording here, but I can't tell if you're suggesting that ExO is pocketing a town!HTS by giving her a "free town read", or making a pre-flip association between the two, talking about them "banding together"? While I was just prodding and asking people questions, this seems like a major reasoning jump, as there is a big difference in my mind between saying you won't lynch a particular player Day 1 and definitively town-reading them.
Other parts of your case bother me, too. Are you saying that ExO questioning people and changing his votes is scummy? Would it be less scummy if he was only focusing on one person?
Do you have any reads on anyone else? For instance, I probably will not support an ExO lynch today, while I am still very tempted to vote you. Who else would you be willing to lynch?
|
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'll be at work most of the rest of the day, but will check back in closer to the lynch and move my vote if Waffle suddenly starts oozing town or one of my other lynchables is one of the main wagons.
Want to give Shining a chance to explain himself.
Gumdrop, I'd also like to see more reads from you as the day progresses, but you've satisfied me enough not to be my lynch. For now. Normally I don't put much stock in reads on demand, but I saw some original thoughts in there, it's Day 1 and you're new.
##WarWaffle <- Just so everyone's clear what they'll find in the voting thread.

meh. only got a few minutes.
re: blue-hunting...i really was ignoring this by and large cause im not concerned about being scumread and its predominately paranoia-fueled, but since it keeps coming up...
i was poking hts for a reaction. i was poking silver cause her post was unclear and i wanted to know what she meant. i can see the argument that poking could be blue hunting, however making a strong read on someone based on the nothing in this thread is kind of hilarious. you are also presupposing that i am scum and have perfect information if you call probing and questions scummy. mafia doesnt need to probe aggressively to blue hunt. i dont think its wise to tell you more than that in the odd event that scum this game doesnt know how
|
i dont like that he posts a defense to the weaker complaint against him and none of the others promising to come back but didnt. i dont like WWs post cause it seems like a reaction to a pressure vote, but i will say that thinking the ppl scumreading you are scum is normal for town. the apparent hipocrisy ismore interesting.
i want to lynch shining. i will settle for ww. i have 20 mins gice or take. ask, discuss, but after that i wint be able to change my vote. btw shining is new to the site. not to mafia.
|
i made a case on him earlier. my issues, disregarding the alleged blue hunting:
- posts no definitive opinion on alignments between hts and myself, burying it in a waffly second multi para pist where its difficult to see what he actually thinks - only develops hard reads on ppl pushing him (note exo stated some of what he was doing was scummy, as well as hts) - continually says he will post a lot (weekend/morning) and doesn't - only returns briefly to the thread to defend against weak point and not the case made on him - conveniently uses celestials explanation for why questions are bad
not gonna lie and say these things couldnt be town, but they add up as more suspicioua to me than others play
|
that was about shining ><
|
my initial vote on WW was pure pressure...though no ww i didnt agree with your read necessarily just as i dont agree with some of celestials...just found it eniufh to sideline you for a bit. one half assed pist you get townread for then disappear after isnt good enough to meet my standards of not scummy however. your reads were okay if weird.
|
meh...gonna have to leave my vote on ww with no feedback...
|
well i approve of lynching shining and ww. read my filter for why. sorry i cant be here for flip. vote stays on ww. ciao folks
