I'd say we make Artanis wait until Sunday nontheless and maybe we know more by that time or maybe he came up with a plan by that time. | ||

I plan on running for [pseudo-] mayor The 2 major aspects of my candidacy:
you do what I say, I am happy. A happy Toad means I get to do the stuff I need to do to solve this game and can't a) get annoyed about some idiot that needs some talking to because you simply do as I say b) pretend to be dealing with some idiot that needs some talking to because you simply do as I say sounds good, right? Who wants to be my sheriff. The position is currently up for grabs. You can't sign up for it but I will call out to whoever seems up for the job. | ||

"don't let this slide. This guy is shady because X / Y / Z! Pressure him" or just ignore it and do whatever their strategy is, be it lurk / be serious somewhere else. Instead he gets in the thread and votes me with a smiley and nothing else while typo'ing my name. I'd call him my sheriff if he didn't try to lynch me and if there wasn't this other typo with him saying he doesn't vote mafia. | ||

Sure I didn't explain why I liked it despite it being a horrible vote at that time but being the 2nd one to do something like that, especially after I point it out like that, is a lot easier than being the first to do it, so no towniepoints for that.

From my experience a player that cannot be read by other players don't play very townie. They mostly joke around and troll but through many many games they do this so even vets know that even if they don't do anything townie like giving reads or pointing fingers the other players will just let him be. One prime example of this case is Alakaslam. Many of you playing will hopefully know how he plays. I pride myself on reading him correctly despite him using chupazi and hijole. It's because I've seen many of his games and know his slight meta change in different allignments. However, I have no idea how this guy, Toad, plays when he is town or mafia, and he goes far as to say he is unreadable. Well that really scares me as a player. To me it's like he was saying, "Guys I'm not going to do anything townie so that's that, but read me as town." I'm usually read as obviously townie by most people in the game, no matter if I'm town, mafia or 3rd party. I took like 3 mafia hits and an SK hit when I rolled 3rd party ninja/assassin in one of Palmars (?) games during night1 + night2. (LOL bulletproof) My most recent Mafia game was the shadow-vet game I replaced into for HF (iirc?) with Sandroba being lynched d1 and ending up one of the most townish guy for everyone except for the guy I got lynched on whatever cycle wer were on. We ended up winning that in a landslide despite Marv asking me to replace into an "already lost game" My most recent game as Town was the one that had 15 people divided into 5 cells of 3 where especially HF made it his best effort to put my cell first because it was the easiest one with a lot of people, including him and Marv, agreeing that I'm town. That's the reason I said I liked qtpi's answer to my first question in the thread. If she doesn't know me it makes perfect sense, it just doesn't apply to me but no way for her to know that. | ||

Even if your townie, if I don't agree with the reasoning you're prolly scum. Right now you haven't really done anything as of yet so it's prolly null I'm more of a... I look cutish at people and make them want to cuddle and protect me kind of guy.

But for some reason he's playing like he really doesn't care how ppl read him. I don't know his sudden reason for change of meta, but I'm down for a policy lynch on him. I'd say I buddy more as a townie for hilarity reasons in general. Marv told me he just lynches me when I'm against him because I seem to have a tendency for that whenever I roll mafia. It's more about having balls and being able to not care about what I say as a mafia, which seems to be quite rare and thus makes me look townish most of the times. Take my opening for example. It's pretty damn obvious I did this to kickstart the discussion and get us talking about reads rather than the weather straight away. I like what I've gotten out of the game so far considering how early we're in. I really like some of the early reactions I've gotten and I like that there's people talking about stuff like reads and votes from the get go. And if you look at it that way, it is something blatantly townish but I'd do it as mafia as well because I'd be confident that people don't catch me anyways and being able to help out my allies better that way. That's the one thing I don't like about Eden right now. Yeah I've been somewhat trollish with my first posts all right but I think I gave my reasoning and like I said, people have started talking about "serious" things a lot sooner. But he hasn't. | ||

He doesn't look like the kind of guy I'd want to sheep (sry) but that's something else than what you said.

This is going to be real annoying. I called your reasoning wrong and you figured out why. I never really called you mafia yet because all I have on you is giving a bullshit townread that might as well be a townie that didn't doublecheck his facts. Shit happens. And now we've got you suddenly posting super drunk (way more than before the pressure started) to the point that everyone will read this and think about if this is legit or just way over the top... and that's a stupid thing to argue about... especially if I have to fight confirmation bias myself because I already thought your early oneline inbetween sounded fake As an example: I don't like the fact that I had to be the one to point out that you never doublechecked your facts either. liancourt only realized that after I asked you what the popular opinions were GB supposedly went against and pointing out again that the timestamps don't match the story. I only checked that because he was pressuring you but he never bothered to himself either. And I'm the laziest fuck around... It's 3 hours into the game. I like being open. What I've done so far I wouldn't even call reads but rather stating things that I find odd for some reason or another to get discussion going. I want them explained and I have people to talk about actual stuff like that rather than having people talk about how likely it is someone actually was drunk all along. So calm down a little and let's see what happens tomorrow. If I get enough of these small things that I'm convinced it no longer might just be coincidence I'll call you or him mafia and you'll notice that. So far I'm just calling your argument wrong. | ||

In particularly I'd like to hear some thoughts, particularly from VE and Palmar on Eden and his behavior yesterday + Show Spoiler [my thoughts, spoiler for readability] + so like I said, his innitial read on GB was bullshit but I didn't mind it that much. It boiled down to him not checking timestamps and if he's really on a party phoneposting no way in hell is he reading carefully enough for that. He then continued to get more pressure and started to post garbage like crazy. A lot more drunk, a lot more unreadable than before. And I'm just sitting here thinking about how likely it is that actually happened... For me it's something like this: party - phoneposting - drunk Out of those 3 only 2 work together. If I'm on a party phoneposting I don't get that drunk because I'm reading a mafiagame and posting on my phone. Apparently not that good of a party. If I'm drunk on a party I'm having fun, maybe I'd phonepost something early but if I'm really that drunk because the party's amazing I don't touch my phone anymore and have fun on the party About VE: I know I said I don't like talking about it... but it just sounds really fake to me. On the other hand, if he actually was drunk he's more likely to overreact like that ... It's just that last game as town I wanted to lynch BH, BH posted pics of his appartment and said he's moving so I didn't lynch him and it was really stupid of me (why would he sign up for a game if he knows he's going to move 2 days after the game starts...) and I don't want that to happen again I liked this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/475954-hammertime-mafia?page=16#310 from VE he did recently. Liked as in, I think that's something he'd post. I don't really agree with the first part and I am particularly worried that he picked that read as his vote so early when it's quite obvious that GB is perhaps one of the weak points of the playerfield (sry). GB, to me seems like the easy mislynch right now. Could be VE feels a lot stronger about that read the way he phrased it but I don't hold GB to the same standards as I hold most other people in here, so he's getting a pass based from me right now. All in all I'm leaning towards Eden, liancourt and Palmar right now. Lian because like I already mentioned I didn't like the fact that I had to be the one to point at the timestamps of HIS target + somethings bothering me about how he's appearing in here. Can't put my finger on it yet. Palmar mostly by process of elimination because Eden + lian doesn't make sense together. So it all goes back to It's an instant majority game and I don't feel confident in going forwards to lynch anyone right now so please let me have more time to read and interact with people. | ||

If that's what he's doing it's likely he might ignore the parts you're blaming him for simply because he's certain you're mafia and looking at it only one way: Try to point out things that don't fit with your townmeta because you're mafia anyways Both what you said and what I said come down to the same thing I feel. It could very well be malicious just the way I think locking on to just one target could be something malicious because that way he doesn't have to make up stuff about a lot of people and can just focus on one guy. But if he does tunnel a lot that's a moot point. | ||

On January 27 2015 04:36 Eden1892 wrote: Nah, there's a key difference in what I'm observing - for him to start tunneling on someone he thinks is mafia he first has to have some reason for thinking it. If his initially-given reason for thinking I'm mafia doesn't actually make sense from a townie POV, it makes him significantly less likely to be town and tunneling. Let's say it's d2 and he had done this awesome vote count analysis and made a decent argument for me being mafia. Say I afk'd with my vote on an outlier. He gives his case, then votes me, never reconsiders and starts turning everything I say into something suspicious. He's tunneling on me, but his fundamental argument that began the tunnel is sensible, so he's probably town tunneling. In contrast, let's say it's d1 and he decided I'm mafia because I posted a picture of a puppy. (shit doesn't have to make sense just roll with it) He then never reconsiders and starting turning everything I say into something suspicious. He's tunneling again, but it starts to look a lot more like mafia tunneling to avoid having to engage the thread, because his original reason for suspecting me was bogus and he then starts adjusting his interpretations of everything I say to justify himself post-facto. Obviously he's somewhere in the middle, but as I argued before, I think he's closer to the puppy side than the awesome side of the spectrum. His reasoning outright ignored half of his (two) data points without explanation, which is something I think is more likely to come from mafia than from town. He then proceeds to tunnel and misinterpret what I'm saying. The tunneling can go either way but the ignoring of the data points to make his first read can't. yes I agree with that and it is part of the reasoning I haven't unvoted him. | ||

I don't care about him being wrong with what he does. I want to see why doing what's wrong is more beneficial for him as mafia than as a townie. Because I still only see him as the easy mislynch to be honest. | ||

It is clearly showing mafia agenda, more so than any other case done so far, including my own reads that are all based on how people are interacting here because d1 is usually really hard to get some mafia agenda when noone has flipped yet. I'd be voting him if I didn't want to make sure we get more time right now. There's still the lingering fear that he's bad and the easy mislynch but it makes me feel way better about this. | ||

I'll look a little harder into Liancourt's posting, but I have some thoughts and some criticisms. This post from Lian is making me reconsider a scum read on him. Here's why: How many scumreads does Toad have right now? From what I can tell, zero. This part of Lian's post is making me think that what if a (potential) mafia Toad could cruise on being so widely townread? It doesn't look likely at this point, but the fact that it made me think, and it shows that Lian has made some broad observation of a player relative to the entire game, despite Toad himself only having a three page filter. I took a look at Toad's filter, and he seems to be in that information gathering/analysing phase of scumhunting, but if I don't see him pushing something/someone soon, I might just start to wonder. His first vote was on Liancourt on what I believed to be a pressure vote and then he unvoted. Don't get me wrong, I'm still reading Toad as town, but this was a very provocative post by Lian and makes me think he's town for this observation. At the very least, I might actually move him upwards from my scumpile. I'm one of the guys that figures out who's town and lynches into whoever is left, starting with the guy my stomach likes the least as I'm usually incredibly confident in my townreads. You're probably not going to see me make long cases about people being mafia. That mostly goes out to you and lian who said he expected me to be someone like Marv/HF... I even told you that I'm the kind of guy that just looks cute and everyone wants to cuddle :3 That being said, a walkthrough of my thoughts lately would be: We lynch into Eden / Lian / Onegu, preferably Lian or Onegu at the point of when I made my general list. Robik if we havn't won by then. Right now I'm fairly confident that I don't want to touch Eden at all, he has been quite impressive the last 24~30 hours or so and like I already said I agree with that one point on GB you did, so he dropped in my list. So for right now it's between Onegu and Lian, leaning towards Onegu. GB for me is an option I'd be willing to discuss but that to me has the same value as a policy lynch because a potential mislynch on GB would be a disaster. Meaning if that guy ends up town we had the easiest votedump for mafia ever for d1. Onegu has that under-the-radar but not just completly afk feel to him I don't like. Lian I have to reread some because people apparently think he got super towny in the last couple hours? I'd also like to add Palmar to the list because he still hasn't done shit at all but let's be honest here, he knows me good enough to know that I'd only be pressuring and asking people to give him one more day if push comes to shove. I've seen him behave exactly like this as town multiple times (I think? at least once), which doesn't make him town but I'd try to avoid that lynch d1. | ||

The best argument against GB is that he attempted to create a framework for his thought process and didn't really follow it through. It is very tempting to create a framework for yourself when you're mafia "I am only going to read 2 people today", "I am going to do list posts and update them", because it makes posting easier, you just follow whichever formula you have supplied and no one suspects a thing! simple, right? I can't remember why I think Toad is maybe mafia. But he really could be. The other two I haven't read that much. if you take out my name from that list those other three have been the ones I want to lynch every since the last... 24 hours? ... what does that tell us about what you should be thinking about me? | ||

And I said that makes me feel way better about GB being mafia. Take a step back and look at it from my pov. I townread GB quite heavily 36~48 hours ago. I'm not just going to push that all mentally away and be like "well duh, guy has to be mafia".

What Palmar has done so far is: 1) have a fun time and not caring a lot (town-ish) 2) ask a bunch of oneline questions inbetween that might seem like they do something but havn't actually ever ended up producing anything (mafia-ish) 3) And finally he did that one big post about me I was waiting for Palmars first big thing and see what it would be. The fact that it's about me and I know it to be bullshit makes things a bit difficult to judge here... I mean I understand the misunderstanding, at the same time Eden picked the exact same thing up, I explained it to him and it's apparently bad phrasing from me if that's how those two read it I just don't think I'd be the guy he'd go after if he's mafia. He'd have an easier time going after one of Onegu, GB and Lian given that most people, including myself want them somewhat dead and at least one of them has to be town. | ||

Robik is very probably town, but it's worthy to note that a lot of his getting townread is that he's said the "right" things about a player (GlowingBear) popularly perceived as mafia, and so if GB is town (which the 2-mafia-on-GB theory necessarily implies), that has to be reevaluated. And I'm still uneasy about you and concerned about VE. So I'm still considering that possibility, yeah. Alternatively, GB could be mafia and his partner could have already tried to bus before the self-vote. There's nothing that anyone can say right now that can move any of those possibilities out of the realm of statistically significant chance, so I want time to evaluate all of them. that's what I'm saying. It doesn't even matter if the 2nd mafia is already on him. If GB is mafia there's a legit reason to think about it from a mafias PoV. No matter if the 2nd mafia is already on him or not, the decision to bus him is one to make and might take some consideration. On the other hand the decision to kill off GB if he's town, assuming there aren't 2 mafias already on him, is fairly straight forward. Granted I have an advantage here in knowing at least my alignment and agreeing with you on HTS, while Robik continues to be back at null if my earlier posts about him were a misunderstanding on my part and VE is still slightly townish in my book. | ||

He still hasn't really explained his read at all other than "toad waffles on GB" which I do every game no matter of alignment and he knows that. We've played mafia together for... 3 years? Eden's questions about me are too long for me to go through when I have to leave right now but it makes somewhat sense from his PoV if he doesn't know me, even if you could answer every single question in there if you had looked at my previous games (like the fact that I HAAATE talking about townreads and explaining them with a passion to answer one of the questions) and at least he's explaining it. So don't take that as a bad thing. HTS I still feel comfortable in being town VE I'm not as sure about anymore. It could be he's mafia defending me to get towncred after I flip but that could just be me paranoid. If I try to forget that I'd still say more on the townish side Robik is prolly somewhat townish GB is back to null for me. I still feel like mafia would have hammered that if he was town but could be that noone was around. Onegu I felt better about lately. Wouldn't be my #1 priority anymore. Probably behind a lian lynch and Palmar (spite-) lynch (Palmar could totally be Mafia though, like I said he knows me for 3 years. He's way better than what he's showing here) liancourt seems to be the guy to go for imo with that being said I put my vote on lian for now and most likely for today even if I come back and day isn't over yet ##vote liancourt And wow, this is actually the first time I ever get lynched as town (in 3 years?) without ragequitting or being modkilled for making a mistake. Good job Palmar | ||
