So I previously wasn't a huge fan of Stutters so far. I'm changing my mind.
Sure, Onegu voted Breshke before. There wasn't too much traction on him before that IMO. He made a case and it looked like he thought it was pretty good. It seems like he has been scumhunting around since then.
I expect him to show his "top four" and his reads besides Breshke. But he did just get in the game. I don't see him as lynchable right now at all.
Was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that. Was really hoping it'd be a newbie to see their reaction, but can't win them all.

The other two I'm really interested in are prpl and plot, but I haven't had the time to really get into them yet.

i realize that you haven't looked into them yet, but there must be some reason you're interested in prp and plot. mind sharing?
Prp has a very distinct scum meta. Off of memory, this reminds me of out but I'm just not going to have time to compare it and the last time I played with him was close to a year ago I think.
Plot I'll type up once I go on a smoke break but I'm at work atm.

Generally if you're claiming scum you post a baby seal, but this works too I guess.
timestamps has the difference at 3 hours and he said he was at work, HTS...like lol sure he could be lying about that but i don't see why it's the tipping point?
On April 13 2015 09:42 Half the Sky wrote: I've returned. Catching up.
Reading the last few comments there are a few things that need clarified.
1 Vote change happened very close to EoD with not much time to deliberate. I think I voted with 2 minutes left. Not much time to convey "enthusiasm" aside from what went into my vote. I weighed heavily whether I should switch. 2 Back of my mind, there were too many people on plotspot. That had me antsy. The fact that there weren't many people around, before I realised it was a Saturday night, made me wonder if people had afked the vote. I know the pile on happened when I was asleep.
3 This point is for Rasputin.
The 15h point that I made against Stutters was not because it was 15h between posts that he voted. The 15 hours point was used to justify that Stutters was unlikely to have been deliberating his vote on plotspot and that the vote came out of the blue.
prplhz said that his vote came out of the blue and scumread him for that IIRC. I questioned that asking why he was eliminating the possibility that a scumclaim could have made his life easier in the middle of deliberation. Only when I further looked closely at Stutters' filter, did I notice the 15 hour gap. He said he'd look into plot. Then gap. Then boom. "Scumclaim, voted" (paraphrasing)
Are you following my logic?
i'll take it into consideration? none of your explanation is actually reflected in your posting at the time, though xP like i never saw any mention of the number of people on plot...in fact you seemed more sold on plot with that giant case than you were on stutters
nowhere in your posts did it remotely suggest that you thought plot might be town? can you tell me why you thought that, or was it just the number of votes on him?

Instead ask what other people think about you. From this thread I know that Half the Sky and Soren think I'm town. Many other people are unsure as to my aligment and a few people lean towards me as scum, but none are 100% sure I am scum.

I agree with Rasputin that this post is awful. I'll point out what bothers me:
1 First paragraph - again sounds like dissausion, and funny that it comes after some of us forming reads based on his wording.
2 HATE that first sentence in second paragraph.
2nd I don't have any reads, as I think anyone is potentially suspicious and not at the same time.
Like that's an excuse to not make reads. Of course there's more than one way of scumhunting so I move to his next paragraph to see if what he says DOES make sense....

I disagree with this on many fronts. Reads SHOULD change if there's new evidence. Don't like it? Dispute it. And Onegu was disruptive only to you - to me, I knew better, and others probably just ignored it. I know Rasputin said she was uncomforable with him but IIRC that was on different evidence.
I'm just smelling mafia agenda from this. And I don't know how it isn't.
and you further go on to say that you think both look scummy with four minutes left?

which honestly is the only reason i'm not voting you right this second, given your explanation just now actually makes this post make more sense than how i was reading it, cause otherwise i don't know how you come to the conclusion that stutters is not bussing and then vote him
the problem is, hts, your explanation is completely after-the-fact and not really supported by your posting except this very last one

Not many people around. Bourneq already said he wasn't switching. Neither was Breshke.
so because ppl weren't going to vote for stutters you decided to switch your vote with two minutes left? ><

it's actually quite simple, prp ^^
hts drug her feet on the lynch, then voted on a wagon at the last minute that absolutely was not going to be lynched
like, it doesn't even matter what stutters' alignment is? her vote switch makes no sense from a townie perspective. she didn't argue or push people to switch to stutters when she did, didn't make it clear that she no longer thought plotspot was town...if stutters is scum he's not getting lynched and she looks good later if he flips and she was on his wagon. if he's town she looks good for not mislynching him
what does she achieve as town though? absolutely nothing
well, honestly prp, i'm waiting on this magic stutters promised xP cause no, he doesn't look particularly good, though i would place him nullish more than anything
i also need to revisit the case(s)? on you cause i only skimmed them earlier and noticed some posts taken out of context so discarded it at the time
dwarf i don't really want to vote so much for his previous posting, but no reads is bugging me
gonna give shining a bit of time to get readjusted, but he looks okay for just entering the thread
onegu i'm actually thinking is probably town for the ruckus he was making at EoD lol...demanding people stay on plot isn't good for his image if he's scum, though i guess if stutters is scum that point is weaker
i really want bresh to talk to me about hts >< i view bresh and truffle as good foils when i start worrying at something like a dog with a bone...it's concerning me a little that he's not engaging me more

On April 13 2015 10:15 prplhz wrote: meh i totally agree and that's why i poked it. why change 2 mins before deadline. it has no practical effect so it's something you do just to look different and townies don't care about that.

Which means, based on your previous quote I should be town right? I put my thought process out there, and I didn't care about looking good. If I'd wanted to look good, I would have stayed on plotspot with all the rest of the votes on him, but I still kept considering all possibilities.
Also for Rasputin, this isn't the first time I've deliberated things like this between two people and voted town. I know I was third party in JOAT, but this follows the same premise. Deliberated like crazy, looked through filters between the two vote candidates (Sandroba and SL in that case) and ultimately voted on town. Just saying.
lol ><
htsssssss
unless you somehow know that stutters is town, this argument makes no sense xP

where do you stand on stutters now?
First, that long post, I didn't conclude plotspot was town. I said I didn't understand how it wasn't a mafia agenda. I concluded he was mafia.
After the fact, yes, but again, supports the fact I'm thinking hard about both candidates. The issue I had with plot concerned his wording which required more explanation.
The arguments on Stutters were quite the opposite in some regards, lack of content, and points brought up by others. The questions coming to lack of a conclusion on certain players and Stutters's vote on plotspot, that last element which made me think twice about everything. If there was more time I'd have tried pushing the issue. I did try to push Breshke, so the point about me doing nothing (at prplhz) doesn't really hold either.

the post from breshke saying he wouldn't switch actually came before your vote on stutters, too

lol >< i am typing too damn fast
that should read scum :/ my bad
i mean it was pretty obvious in your post when you literally said that you didn't see how he wasn't mafia in your last sentence that you were scumreading him
my argument would make no sense if i thought you were townreading plot after prp made his arguments o.0 like that would actually support you switching your vote
I'm trying to consider all worlds here. Do note that I have not taken a good look at either of Shining or JJB's filters yet.
Possible scum votes: 1 Ace/Shining - an isolated vote, general rule of thumb 2 Likely two votes on the plotspot wagon 3 Likely one vote on the Stutters wagon
For #2 I'm thinking one or both votes had to have come late in the game when people thought plotspot was likely to be lynched. This reinforces the possibility of Stutters being a guilty party or Bourneq. I need to take a closer look at their timestamps and what they were saying/thinking at the time they voted. Also didn't see much reaction from Bourneq at all post-lynch. The only other person I will admit I have not taken a closer look at is JJB, largely because I haven't been able to interact with him all game.
For #3 I'm thinking back to my Godfather game as to who in this group wants to look good counterwagoning if there was any such player. prplhz had the martyring argument, and Tube had his reasoning that he seemed to genuinely believe in.
If I had to pick a scum in this wagon, I'd say Dwarf. When I see this:
On April 13 2015 03:12 Tubesock wrote: The vote was 6-2 until 12:55 favoring Plotspot. It had Prplhz and I on Stutters695.
at 12:55 TheBloodyDwarf voted Stutters695. That post only had the vote in it. His previous post was at 9:50 talking about how he loves me. For the record I buy the :D vs explanation. Buuuuuttttttt still no scumhunting....
There were people around talking a couple hours prior to EoD. It was not a dead thread.
Possible explanations:
1. lurking about waiting to see how the vote goes. Sees a counterwagon on Stutters and goes for it. Regardless of Stutters alignment I think Dwarf could make this vote. Now that it's 20 some hours after, I see the actual numbers and think that he probably knew what the vote count was and realized that Stutters is safe from being lynched. There were 4 minutes left, when he voted. Not much time to drop that many votes.
Stutters can be town or mafia in this position. It doesn't matter. But TheBloodyDwarf sees a reason to move to him as there was a shenany. And of course I think this is a mindfuckTube game.
2. He could have legitimately realized he needed to vote and placed it. Why did he wait? Why not at 9:50 when he said his only scum read was Stutters695? Why'd he wait till 4 minutes left in the day?
How aware are you guys of the deadline? I mean I will vote somewhat early if I am out and about and can potentially miss the deadline. I get it that if I KNOW I'll be around and don't have any real life things scheduled that placing that vote isn't so important. But I'll be in the thread. I would NEVER have 2 posts in 3 hours prior to deadline if I was there the entire time.
Anyway, I'm going to dive Stutters deeper. I probably shouldn't scum him because he thinks 2 of my top towns are scum.
Well, there is no way to prove this but since this post I decided to vote for Stutter

Stutters695. Checking his filter and I mostly see questions. Looks like he doesn't really have own opinion but is asking others what do they think.
btw, I dont like you Tubesock, you have been chasing me from the beginning
Before this I was going to vote for Ace.
Last time I checked thread was ~21:00 and went to play heroes I was checking clock after games but I still almost forgot to vote
Why I didnt vote before 21:00? I wanted to see if anything new comes up.
Particularly the timestamp he realised it, compared to prplhz, it makes him all the more likely to be the scum. Furthermore, whilst he might be newb, he could very be newb scum, which is what I'm starting to feel after looking through his filter. A lot of emphasis on how he's used to SC2 mafia play. At least that's the impression I'm getting.
okay, so what makes you think dwarf is newb scum over just newb other than the timestamp?

like literally nothing in this defense disproves anything i said
The post came after but that still doesn't discount that I went back to his post and reconsidered. That should have been quite clear actually when I said "oh shit, now I see what prplhz and dwarf said"
The last part of that defence was aimed at prplhz who said this:

lol considering the last point was my point too doesn't matter who you were talking to
breshke said no and then you voted, and there was no strong push to get others to join you. nough said
you also said there was a 15 hr difference when it was only 3 hrs and he'd specifically said he was at work in the post you quoted. i get it as added evidence, but not a tipping point, because it's basically completely null
^ this point you didn't even address when i brought it up xP
like i'm gonna be frank with you here, hts...unless i'm just completely missing something, your behavior at EoD is basically indefensible. if stutters is town, you may very well have scum-slipped saying you voted an unflipped townie
you need to either point out something i missed (not make up reasoning i can't verify) or convince me someone else is scummier than you, cause i don't think this argument is getting you anywhere

Eh, I'm not really making anything up. If you are mafia deliberately choosing not to understand it, it wouldn't surprise me if you were but if you're town not getting what I'm trying to say, it wouldn't surprise me either. Not the first time this has happened.
>< lol
it has nothing to do with not getting your explanation for EoD. it's
1. your explanation doesn't make sense if you had any expectation whatsoever of getting stutters lynched over plotspot, especially when you weren't trying to get anyone to switch with you in any meaningful way
2. you telling me reasoning after the fact that isn't in any of your posts, even if it did make sense from a townie perspective (though I'd be much more open to it, then) is a matter of whether or not i believe you're telling the truth, not a matter of whether or not i understand what you're saying

If I got Rso's argument right, she thinks that HTS vote switch is strange due primarily to the fact that HTS thought both targets were bad and there was no chance stutters was dying at EOD, which HTS was there long enough to understand.
IF SO This would be the only quote that would even make you think that HTS thought plotspot was town. But I would argue that when HTS went to post this, she already knew she was going to vote stutters. It might be a formatting thing, but most people post their votes after everything else they say in the post.
Given all that, I can only see her doing this vote for three reasons:
1. She is scum trying to look better later on. 2. She is scum trying to bus stutters later just in case people keep scumming him. 3. She is town, and wants to feel good about not mislynching plot.
Also a lot of people haven't been reading her that much before N1. IF she does flip scum, this could give some merit to my point #3 earlier, that scum didn't feel threatened enough to kill someone in game.
