I'll just repost part of my big post I guess...


+ Show Spoiler +
Eden1892 (2): ritoky, lightningstrike
justanothertownie (1): Koshi
raynpelikoneet (4): prplhz, damdred, rsoultin, marvellosity
damdred (1): raynpelikoneet, Eden1892
marvellosity (1): Palmar

Not Voting (2): justanothertownie, onegu

Currently raynpelikoneet is set to be lynched.

Eden at this point has the greatest push (besides a stagnant rayn lynch that was still leading) to get lynched at this point. Myself, LS, Ritoky and a few others were putting direct pressure on Eden to do things or get lynched. Rayn right after this vote count walks in and basically tells everyone to shut up we aren't lynching Eden we are lynching JAT. Though earlier I said that its a possibility that Rayn is mafia for X reasons, as I go back and read around these lynches this push just seems way to genuine and why would you push off of Eden (unless you go super tin foil) and onto team mate JAT here?

Logically and objectively it doesn't make sense for mafia Rayn to come into the thread at this point to get the cred, it would be more benficial for JAT to bus Rayn or to bus team mate #3 than to come in so strong and directly steer the lynch off of Eden and onto JAT directly.

Unless we have all three mafia up for the lynch here, which is highly unlikely there is no reason for mafia Rayn not to hammer town Eden who is going batshit in the thread at points.


And meta reason would be Rayn doesn't really bus much d1 either. So theirs that to.

Eden, why did you back off Palmar so fast?

I remember in student mafia wave was no where near top of the lynch list and you yelled your head off until you got what you wanted. Why so submissive and willing to take a back seat at this point only to say i'll get palmar tomorrow!

The Grand Manifesto On Why Ritoky is Confirmed Town:

1) Trollzy play - ritoky is incapable of humor and trollzy play as mafia. recently he demonstrated some ability to do it as Serial Killer, but that is very different from mafia.

Examples of ritoky being trollzy -

cell mafia 2: ritoky spams the thread with american flags and propoganda for the first 50 pages. link

titanic return of mspaint: ritoky literally does nothing the entire first and second day but antagonize people and general dickbaggery. link

mafia down under 1: such troll, much wow link

2) The angry tunnel does not exist - The #1 mafia tell ritoky has as has been indicated by many players is that as mafia ritoky gets very angry when things don't go his way and he is prone to tunneling on a player and not interacting with the rest of the game. ritoky is also completely incapable of understanding jokes and flips out when people call him scum. in this game ritoky has pushed literal 0 people, never given a damn, and is content with getting lynched. clear town.

Example of angry ritoky tunnels:

3) you have given no indications of being cop in your entire filter.

4) you sat here calling for others to cc and saying you would make up a cc if no one cc'd.

5) you checked a dead person n1 who was universally town read i believe even by you.

6) lol @ your checks. you call my checks bad and not solving the game, yours are on another level. they also don't mesh with your reads in the slightest. you would have checked into the likes of geript/marv/palmar/jat and such because you were heavily invested in solving those discussions and a check would have gone a long way.

you need to move the fuck on; you're not the cop now drop it.

Literally 0% chance superbia and ritoky aren't mafia at this point.


100% chance i am not mafia. i am an uncc'd cop.

get your claim shit out of the thread, you already rescinded because i posted 6 very clear reasons and you folded. you in the qt coaching someone else to cc me? mad at teammates cuz they forced you to fake a cc? tough life.


3) As mafia ritoky always has very clear lynch targets and tries to push them. This one is difficult to quote in a concise manner, you will have noticed it if you cared to do the research. Essentially, as mafia I like controlling the lynch, and I like influencing the direction of the game. Having not pushed a scum read this game, sorry cannot be mafia.

4) ritoky loves him some bussing. Not only does ritoky bus teammates hard, but he pushes back even harder. In this game, if ritoky were scum with JAT he would have bussed JAT HARD. He did not, cannot be scum.

Examples:

Down Under Mafia 2: ritoky tries hard to lynch Alakaslam day 1, after he magically survives, ritoky get's pissed off and calls for a vigi shot on teammate.

you do that a lot...lol. especially when people listen to you for bad reasons and when you got people like koshi saying they are okay with it and rsoultin saying i told you so and kels pre-emptively saying i told you so.


stop wasting my posts with insignificant bs I have like 7 left, I literally just said kelsier is very likely mafia for talking about all that crap pre-lynch and I'm not going to berate other people who have the same reads as me because that means they are likely town. I'm confused why you even have this read when you literally just expressed how I "fooled" you last game which means this salty read is clearly not a proper read at all if I can emulate it as both alignments, not to mention you said I've been doing towny things and somehow that's pushed under the rug

I also said I was extremely sick and wouldn't be here post-deadline but here I am.


you are mafia


OMGUS, not angry, content on a stagnant read lynch, 0 development on bunnies read even after she posted, pushing other people but not moving your vote...thank you for making up my mind for me. you're feigning townie things, you're mafia.


i don't see how anyone in their right mind who was reading this game could think any of those things about me, I posted about 700 times on bunnies after she returned with new info every time and you're telling me that finding other mafia while I sit on someone I think is mafia makes ME mafia

Didn't HF basically do just the same thing? Except more of he came into the thread with "Omgerd we have cap posts. Im town, follow me later" and then leaves.

And yet, Damdred, you have him as town for basically a shit post?

While I agree, people talking about policy lynching and lurkers seem off, he seems just an easy target for people to scum read because of that.


I'm still here and haven't made an excuse about leaving? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying in bold at all though. It's one thing to talk about policy but this is showing that first and foremost you did not read his post because:

A) he wrote about not policy lynching lirkers because it's bad

And

B) he wrote about agreeing to policy lynch lurkers

And secondly you are defending a person that "is an easy target to be scum read" when that person has done genuinely scummy things and you are brushing it off

Enjoy your date


It is his 3rd post of the thread, from there he talks about her 2 or 3 more times while she is here. She disappears from the thread for a long time. When she comes back here are his posts:

Bunnies re entry not that great cz she says she town read people for other posts and not the attack on froggy but that just means her original statement of people jumping on froggy is invalid because it's most of her town reads

why the fuck did everyone dismiss my oats point btw? "I dunno how to read oats he just bad" is not a good reason at all and none of the vets even bothered to look at it and instead started pushing other nonsense.

go read it here: click me!

also now that bunnies actually said her claim wasn't a claim that's just really fucking disingenuous and scummy, her kelsier points weren't very good at all and i don't like that people took her "iffy" and "people to look at" claims as backwards because iffy means you have suspicion and to look at means null but somehow you all believe it's the other way around

there's also what kita said which was very good, she's only stuck at her "people" to look at really as scum reads the entirety of the cycle and hasn't paticularly changed, even on me lol -.- BASED ON MY FIRST POST???? Not to mention her hard on for kelsier that hasn't disappeared ever an on a "reread" of the thread had absolutely no new information whatsoever and still was going on about her list post and her reads only from that list post

I dislike HF at the moment more than froggy for his entrance post. Tbh, I understand there is a cap to posts (which I am probably rapidly approacing), but you shouldn't come into the game with the mindset that you aren't going to post much because of the cap. However, I did post a post just recently saying why I like HF now, for his view on Kelsier.


literally says that i'm disliked MORE than someone with 4 posts based on my entrance post but also liked now too? kind of a waste and pretty disingenuous to still be reading me based on my first post in an entirety of filter, not to mention there's a shit town of wasted filler posts in between each of her posts like "oh does anyone else read sickluckers name differently"

people should be still on her



anyway i realised i actually have quite a few posts for up to deadline so that's cool and i'm super ill so will probably rest after it


only the bolded part is yours here, and then:

naaaaaaaaaaaaah bruv



That's it, the rest of your posts after her return are about pushing on other people.

you literally didn't develop this read at all after her return, you basically said "your kelsier read is crap" but now you agree with it to some extent apparently, and you didn't believe her claim/turned off by threatening a claim. that's the only development on your read since 2 hrs into the game in a 48 hour phase. that is not a HF read AT ALL. it is stagnant, it is crap, and it lynched town. you are mafia.

she made 3 pages worth of posts, actually, so yes she made quite a few. I believe that's over 40 posts to respond to, so your exaggerating and laughing, but actually you're just lying and implying she didn't post a lot or a lot of substance. if she is your top scum read, 3 posts to push and develop your read seems shallow at best; especially with your standards. hell you devoted the same or more posts in the same time frame to reading vivax, kels, and xat; who you didn't push on at all. and i disagree that any of what you said regarding kita's stuff is original, it is all sheep.

further as town you are one of the largest proponents of using your vote as a means of pressuring people into giving information, and you felt perfectly fine leaving it on a town. like you're just plain mafia.

So you're saying that even though I spent 2-3 pages of filter PREVIOUSLY talking about bunnies all game the fact that I only spent a few long posts on her LATER when she had only posted like a page or less since I left with a lot of fluff in it makes me mafia? Why are you using the the latter half of the game to justify a read on me that should span the whole game? Have you even bothered to check the timestamps of when I've been around, I was sick all day and literally posted as much as I could on as many people I could in the time frame that I've been here (without trying to devolve into spammyness)

I can't believe you'd ever make this read as town. Ever. It literally shows no progression of thought process at all and is a rough job of a case that is based on falsities twisted to fit your narrative. There is no way on this planet that a town ritoky would make this case. Just like the case you made on LS using exclusively meta reads. None of these things you are saying make anyone scum yet you're pushing them so vehemently that it's making YOU look scummy instead.


I mean I think I am at the point of confirmation bias on HF now, he is mafia. Making excuses is something HF doesn't do, he is making multiple excuses here. He wasn't using his vote as a weapon at all last phase, which is the same thing he did after day 1 of hearthstone mafia. And yes, if you have a top scum read that is so firm as you won't flinch from it from 2 hrs into the phase until the end, I expect you to devote a crap load more than you did to pushing and developing it, you didn't.

As for your criticism of my LS read, you forgot the part where I backed off and started defending him.

I would make this read as town, because I am town. Something I don't think you can say.


Imperial Mafia: ritoky's scum reads include robik (town), superbia (teammate), marv (teammate), damdred (teammate), sicklucker (town)

ritoky didn't bus JAT and doesn't have firm enough scum reads to be bussing this game. Always busses as mafia, cannot be mafia.

5) The damdred factor - Damdred has a soul read on me. He subbed into a game where no one had suggested the idea I could be SK and called me SK 2 posts in. Damdred has called ritoky town, ritoky is town. Further ritoky always shoots damdred if ritoky is mafia. ALWAYS.

6) The VT claim - very simple mafia mechanics here, if you can't understand it I don't think you deserve to be playing right now. ritoky plays troll all day 1 phase, if ritoky is mafia in this situation and is faced with lynch pressure, ritoky claims PR and either outs a PR for a trade or buys a free day. Rather than do this, ritoky pre-emptively before the lynch pressure exists claims VT. This is a play that is literally the most inefficient and stupid thing ever as mafia.

7) Divergent reads - ritoky was mislynched a lot early on in his mafia career because he doesn't often give reads in a manner that coincides or agrees with the "vets" (really the circlejerk party). In the process of rolling 13 straight town games in his first 13 TL games, it became widely known that ritoky had divergent reads as town and sick day 1 reads that should be taken to the bank. A prime example is Hearthstone mafia. In games where ritoky is mafia his reads tend to not be very against the grain.

8) The last and simplest to understand point of how ritoky cannot be mafia: the notorious giant list post. Very commonly when ritoky is mafia he makes a giant list of every player in the game and gives reads on them. It is atrociously bad and easy to spot.

And that my friends is how there is literally 0 way ritoky is ever mafia this game.

tl;dr:
1) troll and jokes = town (filter examples)
2) angry tunnels when mafia, no angry tunnel this game
3) likes to have clear lynch targets as mafia, pushed 0 people this game = town
4) ritoky is #1 TL busser as mafia, did not bus JAT
5) damdred soul read, ritoky always shoots damdred ASAP
6) VT claim, would have claimed PR under pressure
7) ritoky reads counter to thread sentiment -> ritoky town
8) no giant read list post = ritoky town

you now know how it is impossible for ritoky to be mafia this game. anyone who votes on me is confirming their own idiocy.

I'm sold








No really I buy this

^^^^ i am serious about palmarv team though. or at least one part of it:

##VOTE: Palmar

this guy isn't figuring the game out and hardclaimed cop with an inno on ray claiming to believe ray was godfather. like lol pls. and i think damdred is incorrect to say that palmar has been trolling a lot; he has been trollish to an extent but it's actually a lot less pervasive than i remember from his town games. i'm also not sure that him not pushing lynches super-hard indicates town, because he tends to lock in on a target VERY decisively as town (see Hammertime Mafia for a recent example).

i'm not sure who the partner would be. marv comes to mind, i don't feel the same level of investment that i've come to expect from town!marv, but i also feel like his interaction with jat is uncharacteristic of his mafia game. i think everyone damdred townread before his final 4 is probably town, and mostly for the reasons damdred said, to boot

my issue is that i like onegu AND ritoky for town :/ i'm not writing off damdred but he's not my lynch today.

maybe another day will help sort this out? but palmar has to go imo

Could you explain how you got from believing ritoky is really really town more than likely to. Maybe to lynchbait to oh fuck it i'll lynch ritoky today and lynch Palmar tomorrow. It seems really really made up to switch wagons like that.

Eden, why did you back off Palmar so fast?

I remember in student mafia wave was no where near top of the lynch list and you yelled your head off until you got what you wanted. Why so submissive and willing to take a back seat at this point only to say i'll get palmar tomorrow!

Two things:

(1) Thread activity level. When I finally got on to start posting there weren't many people online. I kinda figured it was too little too late. I pushed on Wave for something like 24 hours I think and we had an active enough EOD to get the switch I wanted.
(2) I'm all too painfully aware that my persuasion currency isn't worth shit compared to Student VI. The old farts in that game didn't really care much of what I had to say but there were still half newbies and then a couple of new-guard vets like you willing to listen. Here I feel like no one really cares at all and that I'm not getting anywhere. (And no that's not a woe-is-me boohoo post like a lot of my other ones this game have been, that's just the stark reality of the situation.)

Since I didn't have a compelling logical argument for why ritoky is town instead I just went with the logical lynch that seemed like it would go through instead of following my instinct and yelling loudly in a mostly-empty thread full of people who don't really care who my suspects are.

Just look at my pushes this game and you can see why my mentality might be different:
(1) You, d1 and d2. Literally everybody that bothered to comment on it called it bad without engaging my cases on a point-by-point level. I never got any traction whenever I tried.
(2) ritoky d1. The only confirmed mafia in the game was the only one who bit on it. No one really said much at the time but in retrospect people are again calling it bad.

Combine that with my meta decision from game start to try to be less spammy and loud, after being told that it was bad for town and hurting my team's ability to win the game (and being told IN Student VI, no less), and hopefully the picture is clear.

But this kinda really sucks too, because now I'm just sitting here impotent and lamely following what I presume to be my team while we misfire. I don't know what I have to do to play the reserved analytical style I want to try and be successful here. I can do it all the time in my irl group, but that's because I'm pretty universally respected as the best townie there, so I have enough positive karma built up from a year or so of playing actively to get people to let me do my thing and just listen to me. I'm kinda out of my element when I can't just be like "this guy is mafia sheep me" and get somebody lynched. :/

Basically see above, I feel like I pissed people off or got them disinterested in the game and now they aren't listening to me, and that I'm making things worse by going against thread sentiment again to push a target at a relatively quiet EOD. That and despite whatever my gut tells me about ritoky, it's a pretty damn good point that he wasn't really interested in finding mafia at all where he normally is as town.

like not trying to pile on ritoky because i hate when you die and people go "well not my fault, that guy SUCKED" but he was a pretty good lynch, despite whatever my instinct was saying

I have to think about what you said for a bit becuas ei have to pick my wife up.

But didn't you have a logical reason that Ritoky is town? He himself detailed why hes town, probably his best post of the game?

Do you think Rayn is mafia given that nobody tried to save JAT?

anyway right now I'm at Palmar, ray, marv for my mafia pile, with a strong strong emphasis on Palmar and ray over marv.

  • Koshi and LS are claimed blues and have both been pretty townie besides to me. Don't think this needs explanation. I would say there's maybe a <0.1% chance LS is mafia and has me totally fooled but his stuff around his roleclaim seemed so part-and-parcel LS that I refuse to consider this possibility seriously.
  • I've finally come around to Damdred recently - the commentary (however brief) about him wanting to change his playstyle really rings true to me. It kinda hits a soft spot for me and I know this probably isn't the "best" reason to anybody else, but it's what connects the most for me.
  • I think prplhz is pretty townie because he's done a lot of research outside the game, like Damdred said. It is very, very difficult to reconcile him being mafia with JAT, and then researching JAT's games to see that JAT doesn't townread people as town and then saying as much in the thread and then doing nothing with it. That sequence just doesn't make sense to me from a mafia standpoint.
  • I think Onegu is very probably town for the VT thing, and I kinda want to lynch him regardless, because after having multiple games ruined for me last night because of stupid townseal/pseudoseal bullshit, I'm really sick of people just doing shit like only claiming VT as town and then not actually playing the game. I'm not trying to single out Onegu here or insult him or anything, but I'm here to play mafia, not "come up with a creative and plausible way to signal town every game in lieu of just playing like a good townie," and whether he means to do it this way or not, that's how it comes off. His actual play this game hasn't been impressive. It just sucks because I want to win and lynching a guy I think is probably town to punish him for the VT thing isn't going to help me win.
  • I only really have marv in my pile due to POE, as I say things about other people that I'm thinking I realize that he's already said quite a few of those things so that alone means he's probably not mafia. I just have enough respect for marv's scum game not to write anything off - but I don't really have any interest in pursuing this.
  • I'm not sure how well ray could have actually buried me like Damdred is saying, and it becomes a lot easier to explain JAT's decision to try to get ritoky lynched if his counterwagon is mafia and also a wagon which basically only existed at that point due to inertia. The thing holding me back here is that JAT is stone-cold about busing and I feel like he probably could have found an excuse to be on ray earlier - but then, he did appear to be quite busy with irl things during the first half of d1 if I remember right, so maybe that's why. ray's questions about my thought process with the blues at the beginning of d2 also didn't really make sense to me, and my (admittedly likely confirmation-biased) thought here is that he didn't realize that I didn't actually know too much because he doesn't have the same information we do. I felt like what I said made perfect sense, and it seemed like ray was looking to interpret it in a way such that I "knew too much" even though I didn't.
  • Just c/p what I said earlier about Palmar here.

marv made the point (which I thought was good) that ritoky kinda demonstrated too much awareness of his town game. I did think his post was good and I should have insisted on it being so, but I didn't. My bad.

Htm I need to look at prph closer. End of d1 he was obviously afking his vote on Rayn. If Rayn hadn't of faked he would of been lynched. What if Rayn was a fallback wagon with afk Scum prph waiting there for the shenanigans back?

It kinda fits if the other wagons were town

My thought process if ray is town is that the mafia were probably just afk/pseudo-afk on whatever wagons they were on - and prplhz is someone whose activity profile at the time fit the bill perfectly. But it's really hard to reconcile his early comment about jat with him being jat's teammate. afaik prplhz hasn't played enough games with jat to be able to have read his early townreads as indicative of anything, which means it's very unlikely that mafia!prplhz would have even thought to notice that in his partner, let alone go research it to confirm, let alone bring it up in essence just to bring it up.

Like there's nothing that says it 100% couldn't have happened, but that's something I feel would be very unlikely to catch mafia!prplhz's attention in the first place.

I'm VT!

Plus I am playing. Convince me on Palmar, as I am currently hardcore on prplhz. That being said I can never read palmar and he is squarely in the null pile for me.

Meh, I never played with syllogism before but made a post that was close and got town read for it. I went on to carry that scum team (you are welcome Marv.).
