Taking a look at the way the Wave lynch happened I think mafia got lucky. It was my vote which made Wave a legitimate target and the wagon gained speed from there. Wave was safe as houses with no-one doing anything until I changed my vote then in the space of 10 minutes (10:29-10:40) four people jumped onto the wagon. See + Show Spoiler +
Voting for Wave
Eden1892 - 00:36
Probulous - 10:16.
Damred - 10:29
_Tormented_ - 10:34
Tronak - 10:39
Snarfs - 10:40
The Shining - 10:46


Snarfs tied it up and Shining hammered the lynch but it is reasonable for Snarfs to push the other wagon and Shining jumped in too late to change the lynch targets. Anyway by this point the wagon was rolling strong anyway. I don't think Eden is mafia and besides his vote didn't push the wagon along, it was mine and the others that joined him. I made a major fuck up but my reasons are in thread. Even so Wave was at 2 votes when Snarfs had 4 and Artanis 2. The wagon really got going when Damred, tormented and Tronak came on board.

Damred's vote was a consolidation vote and he moved from Snarfs due to his legacy post. Literally this

Which doesn't mention my vote 13 minutes earlier. Odd since Artanis and Snarfs were the lead vote contenders until my vote tied up Artanis and Wave and Eden's passionate cry for assistance didn't convince him earlier. Whatever, he hasn't provided the brilliant analysis he promised and has managed to lie low since I stopped pushing him. We lynched town cause he didn't participate so I am loathe to lynch on broken promises again. He clearly isn't in anyone else's sights so moving on. To be honest I'm tired of reading his filter.

So that leave's _Tormented_ and Tronak. Just perfect, the newbies.
Tormented I can't tell if it is mafia or just blatant newb. Take these posts for example

I voted him originally for his post against Node that seemed a pretty big stretch to me, along with not helping find any scum besides that post. I actually liked his recent post with his actual reads, but that is just me. I could just as easily be wrong.

like three minutes later. He says bad stuff but he is completely open about it. I hate to admit it but Tronak is the same. I thought I had nailed him with his reasoning for voting for Wave
I never said I liked the lynch on Snarf. I have always said I find him interesting as a player to learn from (totally egoist point of view nad not "find a mafia" related i got to admit), thats why i'd save him over Wave
which is just about the worst reason you could have to vote for someone. You aren't voting for them because you think they are mafia but because you like how the other guy plays. If this was the only time he specifically mentioned Snarfs play it would be blatant attempt to find a reason to vote and I would lynch him so fast but he has actually mentioned this a couple times before.
  1. (iii) Scarfs: null about him with big fear of losing what I find so far a very usefull player for my learning.
  2. I like Snarfs, as said before, he results interesting to exist in my learning curve.
    However, is impossible anyone reading half Artanis's post would miss his tunneling on Tormented.
    How can you explain that Snarfs?
I just don't see Tronak thinking that far ahead.

Which means my two hours spent trying to work out what happened comes down to Damred again. It's past midnight here and I'm just done with this. I'll try and be here before day-break. I'll take a look at Snarfs and his side of the voting then.

Please post your thoughts, hopefully some of this was useful. I especially want to hear from Node, who has also disappeared from the thread.

I wanted to switch to Tronak. No chance of that happening. Not enough time to work out whether it was a last minute bus or hammering a town lynch. Obviously turned out to be number 2 but see my text wall for more information.

BTW next lynch is at 11:00 on Sunday Oz time so I may be unable to attend. I'll post my thoughts when I can. Weekend mafia is a bitch. PS the irony of this is not lost on me.

Skimmed so far.

KSc, I didn't think Snarfs was mafia. All I said was his play was different. Not different to his town play. He has certainly been less clear than usual but that doesn't make him mafia.

And no there was no time for another wagon on Tronak. There were two minutes remaining with only about four or five of us posting. Jumping off at that point would have ended up lynching Snarfs.

As for why scum would be on Wave and not Snarfs if Snarfs is town, well Wave was town. Pushing one town lynch over another seems a 50/50 split. There are three scum there could quite likely be two on the Snarfs voting. I particularly think Node is suspicious given he votes Snarfs for no reason and then disappears. We'll have to see what he says when he returns.

Probolous you admitted your self, that you were the one pushing Wave's wagon first. And your vote was indeed what made me think "ok i can save Snarfs + someone else is pushing Eden's case (which at this point I was already considering seriously)".

I will explain my line of arguments that drived me to vote for Wave further (having lunch while I read you, and i'll need some quotes). Meanwhile and to complete your analysis, that I just read and find very interesting and better that your "oh look shoot this scum newbie"), why don't you refresh me why did you vote Wave? aren't you as suspicious as me? I mean you look more suspicious to me at this point (before diving in you filter).

I wanted to shoot you because when pushed your reason for voting for Wave was to keep Snarfs around to "teach' you. Call it lynch excitement, it sounded like scum trying to come up with a reason to vote (one way or the other).

My reasons for voting Wave were quite simple.
1) Eden was shouting about his case on Wave so I took a look, it seemed OK so I looked closer at Wave's posting.
2) I really don't like blatant sheeping as I feel it abdicates responsibility for scum-hunting. I called Wave out on it.
3) Eden explained that sheeping your town reads is now pretty normal but that you would be pressed on them, so I checked Wave's filter for who he thought was town and why. He basically called yamato town in like his third post and that was it. Ok fine, he has a gut feel for yamato but Node? His reasoning made no sense. So I pushed him on it.
4) Obviously he AFK'd for reasons but it looked suspicious as hell to me. Especially when he had been constantly saying he would return to the thread to provide something but never did.

Like I said, clearly I was wrong but I thought I was on to something. The lynches at the time were Snarfs and Artanis who I didn't want to lynch and Wave looked really dodge for disappearing.

but if you're town read of him is based on him being insightful and careful with his posting, how does him being active and willing to be wrong make him town?

OK you're misunderstanding what I was originally saying. I was not calling him town in that first post, I just said his posting style when we played years ago was one of careful consideration. It's different this game but that doesn't make him mafia, or town. I thought that was clear when I posted this later

Who would ask this? you switch or not switch, but don't waste your supposed few time in asking if its too late. It was indeed too late to wagon on me, but it wasn't too late maybe for him to abandon his vote on Wave and shoot me.

Trust me I would have.I was thinking and typing at the same time. I thought there might be an option to switch but realised just trying to convince people you were scrum would take too long.

Had a long day at work figured before I went into anything else I would look at the final vote count and post some thoughts. The first vote is the official vote count where we ended with the 100% information that we have from the flip.

From this vote it is highly probable that both Eden and Yamato are both town (a part from my earlier reads) which makes the vote look like this

(i'm putting in spoiler tags for readability purposes)

Personal Reads Incoming:

I think that the vote was between two towns at this junction, Snarf left a reads post that convinced me even if it did not convince anyone else. There was not that much movement in the wagons at the time besides consolidation. Snarf voted to save himself which isn't alignment indicative granted. I still think the legacy post sways me a bit its obvious he was the lynch up to that point and wave had 0 momentum up to the final hour so no reason for mafia to give us any sort of information going into it.

I also think that there is a good possibility that Kel is town in this scenario. He looked really good heading into the eod and put in a ton of work questioning people and pressuring people at points.

Shining had a huge let down day one, but his somewhat catchup posts were ok. I'm leaning town on him but I don't think i'm ready to give him a full force town read but I think its more likely between two towns that a town would hammer in that situation.

SL has a high chance of being mafia with how his voting went I believe. He was here at EoD was useless and used his vote by throwing it away instead of helping the lynch. His vote by itself stands out pretty highly to me

This leaves me with Tormented, Tronak, Node, Artanis and Probulous

Tormented I think is townish at this point, his post on snarfs goes against the grain at that point and his followup explanation was pretty good. His posts at EoD weren't bad either to me.

Probulous has been a bit useless besides when hes talking about me granted, wave pointed this out but I think that what analysis he did do to me and his post during the night on the votes was pretty town so he is in a town pile.

This leaves me with a pool of Artanis, Tronak and Node.

Tronak had some decent posts during the night, hes more null for me currently. But I think some posts look towny

Artanis has a really good shot at being scum, all day he thought that Yamato looked really bad and scummy but he decided to vote with his scum read and then after he voted he decided that Yamatos filter looked decent. He was somewhat useless today just focusing on tormented and yamato for the general portion of the day before deciding to vote with said scum read and suddenly reversing the read even when Yamato had been playing the same way the whole game.

Node is probably the last scum, h was extremely useless all day. He was extremely defensive whenever he was confronted with not doing things in the thread. AFK'd his vote without any sort of followup or any new information taken into account whenever he was here, and just has decided to do shit all and be useless.

This is the final visual representation of where my thoughts are currently.

Any questions or want anything fleshed out more just ask and i'll talk more about it.
[/green][/green][/green]
Damn, this is how you do vote analysis. I take back my snarky bit from last night. I was convinced there was scum on that wagon and you were the strongest candidate in my mind.
So if this is true, then I pushed a wagon which had no scum on it?

I'd be down with a Node lynch if he doesn't contribute today. Will take a closer look at Artanis, I like his open style but pushing the newbie so hard all day on day 1 is an easy target for mafia.

Ok but again, it could take too long but you were already convinced at this point, that I was mafia and Wave was innocent and about to lynched. If you are town and being at this point, why the hell you wouldnt ##unvote Wave ##vote tronak?

Where did I say that? Could have been a day 1 bus.

The problem might not have been the logistics but convincing everyone to make a last minute switch based on one post which upon reflection could be bad town rather than scum.

Despite Wave flipping town I would do the same thing if I was in the same position with the same information, switching would have caused all sorts of chaos and probably led to a Snarfs lynch which I was less sure about.

Damn you Tronak.

We got scum on this wagon people.


I read this as town realizing too late that it's a lynch between two town. If you're mafia, why do you even bother saying anything at all?

plus the reason he scum read snarf was because as town he was "insightful and thinks carefully about his post"
but now he thinks snarf is town because he is "active and willing to be wrong"


I also think town is more likely to contradict themselves. Especially in a scenario where he probably could have just jumped on my lynch given the aforementioned scumread.

Who would ask this? you switch or not switch, but don't waste your supposed few time in asking if its too late. It was indeed too late to wagon on me, but it wasn't too late maybe for him to abandon his vote on Wave and shoot me.

Trust me I would have.I was thinking and typing at the same time. I thought there might be an option to switch but realised just trying to convince people you were scrum would take too long.

Ok but again, it could take too long but you were already convinced at this point, that I was mafia and Wave was innocent and about to lynched. If you are town and being at this point, why the hell you wouldnt ##unvote Wave ##vote tronak?

Where did I say that? Could have been a day 1 bus.


Wtf you asked if there was time to switch? why would you ask if you were not thinking Wave was innocent?

Because to me you had just basically scum-claimed. Much stronger case than my suspicions on Wave.

Do you know what "bussing" is?

Despite Wave flipping town I would do the same thing if I was in the same position with the same information, switching would have caused all sorts of chaos and probably led to a Snarfs lynch which I was less sure about.


Now you give a proper "towny" reason for first time. Not sure if this comes late to me though.

OK going AFK. Might pop back in a couple hours otherwise see you at daybreak with some thoughts about how this went down.

why didn't you switch btw.
anyway i'm going to sleep
I wanted to switch to Tronak. No chance of that happening. Not enough time to work out whether it was a last minute bus or hammering a town lynch. Obviously turned out to be number 2 but see my text wall for more information.

Not really , I may deduce is puting a sheep after sheep on new good case?

ROFL, no bussing is when scum vote their own team. That way when one flips they look town. The problem is that a bus doesn't make sense if Snarfs is town. Of course I didn't realise how all this logic works out at the time of posting. I was sure I had caught a scum and wondered whether I could get people to change. That was why I was so aggressive after the lynch, it felt like a missed opportunity for me.

Upon re-read things look different.

I liked his response when pushed to explain his Node case and the timing of it. It was so awkward and I imagine somewhat embarrassing that it just doesn't seem like something mafia would do (WIFOM? maybe). I mean his reasoning was he wanted to impress people because we had high expectations of him. Could there be a mafia motivation for this, sure but to me it sounds more town. He could have just said, well this is my case and I posted it when I felt it was ready.

Add into this that I really disliked Node's response to Snarf's response and subsequent disappearance (no explanation as far as I can tell). Snarfs has also been one of the active players here. He was inconsistent and made some bad mistakes but he was present.

In the end I thought Wave was worse.

Cliffs:
- Artanis has been woefully unproductive this game
- Node has one pg of filter full of obvious misrepresentations of other players and didn't care at all about the d1 lynch, parking his vote on Snarfs really early and not bothering to check back and see what had happened in the thread since
- sicklucker's chronic inactivity is alignment-indicative I'm starting to think


I feel like this is for my benefit, lol.

With Node and SL, I'm curious. Both hint at inactivity/lurking. What makes them any worse than, say, me?

See I have a bias issue in that I've been inactive for valid RL stuff. I really don't like anything about Node's filter at all but I feel hypocritical scumming Node or SL immediately. Although it really is bad that Node AFKd a vote and attacked a post from Tronak that I liked as pushing discission, even if it was a summary bit.

Artanis I think I could lynch tomorrow. Having enough energy to post that you're lazy during a night phase is just a cop out. This is a time to reassess and see where that mislynch went wrong. And if you're lazy, you're not going to post at all. Just seems off.

Once you started being active, you've remained that way. Hypocrisy counts for shit, especially about activity. There is a difference between active lurking and just being completely busy. That's why I am giving Node the benefit of the doubt until he returns.
