Where did I do this? And no in my experience meta is shit terrible, and I am certainly not marv, one of very few people who can maybe attempt to use it correctly.

essentially the call is are we feeling lynchy or do we wait for yamato

Why are you fishing for townreads from me yamato? You're behaving so oddly, and it's not even your normal hyper-aggressive early game push that Im used to.

I just wanted to wreck scum with you for once. Just once. Apparently it was too much to ask.


from the one who doesn't like to use meta xP

It's an observation, and I'm not calling him scum based on that. He's absolutely behaving oddly, even ignoring what I already know of him.

So that means you found him town earlier based on him pushing some stuff 'cause meta and now you're rethinking it?

Basically, yes. I think I might want to lynch Damdred over him though. His list post is followed by a bunch of fluff that doesn't really say anything and doesn't have any of the intricate reads Damdred usually has. It's so unrefined and fluffy, and his apologetic tone on "I know it's pretty global" only compounds it.

artie is hard for me to read :/

like...i liked his post about you xP i wouldn't lynch you over yamato but i see a lot of the things he brought up as well. it's sorta a soft defense of yamato? but if yamato is scum i almost feel like it's in artanis' favor to jump on that rather than try to direct the lynch elsewhere

i also like how he revisited his truffle read >< and yes i'm aware that this is just me agreeing with what he's saying

my problem is i know he has a good scumgame; i've seen him just give up as scum but he came back into today willing to discuss things and reads and i can see his thought progression

i kinda feel like it's to scum's advantage to let the thread continue to stagnate, which wasn't the sense i got from him today (or you, for that matter) which is one of the reasons why i'm feeling a bit better about the both of you and a bit worse about truffle


A few things really,

I felt like today particularly there was a bit more omgus in Artanis for instance in how he dealt with me. Are my reads at that point in the thread substantial? Not really no, are they up to my standards? No not really. But he would rather think i should be the lynch than Yamato?

That doesn't necessarily make sense to me in that regard. For instance look at what hes done this day, hes called my case on trfel bad. Which maybe it is, i think that there still might be something there. Voted Palmar unvoted, and then said that I should be the lynch over Yamato.

Not sure that there is much reevaluation. Also it is also of note that he didn't get really active for his burst until I pinged him out. Which is interesting.

I don't think I was omgusing. I didn't omgus Yamato for scumreading me, nor did I do it to anyone who has. My reasons were based on that you were giving incredibly shallow reads which isn't something you normally do at all.

As for the timing, as I've said, I want to spend less time on the game and so I do. I showed up after I came back from the cinema and had dinner.

hmm that may be true i'd have to take another look at when he started talking :/ and his general read progression on the both of y'all

there was definitely re-evaluation on truffle, though, that much i'm sure of

and i kinda get the vote palmar, unvote thing...isn't it a thing to push palmar to see how he responds to get a read? i thought it was. i know that palmar typically encourages it, and palmar did come out looking more townie for it lol >< anyway

give me a bit to look into that


Well one thing to understand about Palmar is in this type of situation what does one vote do? Its no where close to picking up steam he is in peoples POE list but does that guarantee hes going to get up and going just because he has 1/5 votes needed its not pressurish at all imo. It could of turned into that if other people hopped on the wagon, but i'm not so sure about it especially.

But Art did push off a Yamato lynch I believe when he first started talking about me after my trfel post earlier in this cycle. And then he said i should be the lynch over Yamato because my reads aren't intricate and mostly fluff.

But then he neither pushes Palmar for l ynch really or pushes me to an extent, if you think that Yamato shouldnt' be the lynch and either one of Palmar/Damdred should why would you sit back and really do nothing to influence what people think?

I was putting pressure onto Palmar to get a clearer read on him. I wasn't the only one that was suspicious of him and it had a good chance of picking up some speed, so it definitely did put some pressure onto him. Whether that was the reason he started posting better, I dunno, but it helped evaluate my read on him.

As for not pushing lynches, I refer back to not wanting to spend 10 hours a day cheerleading people onto my lynch of choice. I gave my reasons why I think you're scum, I expect people to read them and either sheep them if they like it or vote someone else/engage me if they're not convinced. How have I not tried to influence people into thinking you're scum?

Actually a problem I see in his filter is that he's droning on about the same things over and over again. First WoS, then the thing with me on waiting for Palmar/BH to contribute, and then on BH. He doesn't really re-evaluate anything nor does he share many thoughts on other things than whatever he's chasing at the time.

Could prob lynch/10.

Finally this, i went through Arts filter and there is no Yamato scum read in it.

Just things like, I could make better posts but that doesn't make Yamato scum etc.,

I've said I could lynch him. I'm not sure how much clearer you need it.

This push on me might actually make you more likely to be town though. Hm.

There is not a fundamental difference in how to play mafia even if you aren't spending 10 hours in a game.

You can convince people to vote on the person you want even if you spend 5 posts in a given phase doing so, rather than half heartidly putting shade on people as has been done previously.

For example X shouldnt' be the lynch it should be Y. Is all fine and good if its met with any substantial post explaining why exactly that person is scum which doesn't take a substantial amount of time to do. For example you quoted my read on truffle and then quoted his posts but drew no conclussions at all from my post, nor the implications of what that means.

This is a major red flag, nor do you give any real explanation on why they should lynch me just that I am full of fluff and my reads aren't as intricate. That is not a good reason o lynch someone

I made it clear why I thought you were scum:
It's Day 2, many hours have passed and you hadn't given any kind of analysis that town!Damdred usually does, whereas you had been posting fluff as well as read progressions I couldn't follow. It doesn't need to be this Eureka! thing or anything like that. You don't need ten reasons to ping someone out. I looked at a few of your towngames and they looked remarkably different in that you gave detailed reasons for your scumreads whereas you didn't here.

I quoted those posts because I saw no read progression from you on Trfel that could explain going from having him as your top scumread to your second.

I haven't re-evaled him since considering him my top townread. His tone is super clear town!Bresh. I did meta him in this way in LXX though, so he might've taken this into account for this game. Will reread soonish.

I don't think it's likely scum didn't shoot on N1. It seems rather risky when there's a potential blue out there so there could be saves etc. I feel it's likely that either a doc saved someone, we have a vet or a RBer blocked scum from shooting. I think if there's a RBer, they should out whom they blocked. Vets/docs obv shouldn't out.

I like the post Wave pinged out on Breshke

Ehhhhh I find this post hard to come from scum tbh.[/quote]
Makes me feel good on both Wave and Bresh because I see exactly what Wave sees here, and I feel like Bresh' game has felt really town in his tone as well. His reason for ending up TRing Rso also looked very genuine. Though it's something I've pointed out his changed tone before and mentioned he could potentially do it as scum, I don't feel like that's the case here. It's just too similar in tone to LXX.

I also think Rsoultin is likely town, not just for contributions but because her reads have really changed consistently throughout the game and though I know that Damdred's wrong, I can see why she doubts my alignment based on what Damdred's saying. I also see his point, though I disagree that most points he calls me scum for actually make me scum (I feel a bunch of them actually make me more likely to be town) but we'll get to that later.

Sad day im not higher and you have me linked with possible scum .

I actually think Yamato is towny in his filter I did a bit of research on yamatos scum games. He's not really destroying thread here and much more active than his sxum games. He has fallen off considerably this 48 hours and that is a red flag but he did the same thing in mini mafia 2 which just ended.

I don't think it 100% clears him but I think his filter is really indicative of a town Yamato at this point.

I'm curious how you got this on Yamato because I checked his second to last mafia game and he was on 8 pages there and died at like D3. I don't feel like he's much more active in a posting sense, which was what I thought at first when I gave him the TR.

I'm not actually sure what to think of Yamato's read development on me the past two pages. It actually looks quite townie in that he was not commenting on arguments that he didn't feel he could on and pushing the things he does believe in. I don't really think a scum Yamato would be as selective in picking the arguments he has, but I need to check his scumgame out in a more in depth fashion. The problem with Yamato being town though is that this means someone that's pretty universally seen as town is scum.

I don't think it can be Breshke because of what I've mentioned, I don't think it's Damdred, Rsoultin also seems unlikely which leaves a pool of Trfel/Wave/Palmar. I'm gonna go and look more indepth in here.

Damdred if you could outline all your problems with me in an easy way for me to reply so I don't have to quote 6 different posts and create a complete mess that no one can follow that'd be dandy.

I could respond to all the individual posts but it'd make a mess since a bunch of things are repeated, and I don't think anyone would get much the wiser from it. Why don't you do me a favour and post everything in one post so I don't miss anything and make it easier to follow for others. It should all be in your head anyway, so I can't be asking for much. Meanwhile, I can put my time into investigating my suspects that way.

I also don't see why we HAVE to lynch today. We have the time, what's wrong with using it?

No I've been pretty clear with what my problems are.

Stop caring about your ego or that you've done more or whatever and just do it, it seriously isn't that difficult. Show me you're willing to cooperate here.

I also think I want to lynch Trfel. Going over one of his towngames I notice he's much less confident in them than the tone he's had this game. His reasons have mostly been pretty weak. Let me take an example here:
On April 22 2015 12:34 Trfel wrote:
Just a quick update on where I'm at.

I reread about the first half of the thread.

Damdred is very likely to be town here, despite my earlier read. His play actually does have direction and focus. Furthermore, someone pointed out that mafia Damdred plays to survive. Damdred isn't playing to survive here; smaller post count (at least in the first half of the thread) aside, Damdred's tone is extremely relaxed, and he did that strange list post to try and draw questions about it. Damdred here is enjoying the game, and playing for fun, which makes him quite likely to be town.

WaveofShadow is also town here. His play makes sense from a town perspective throughout, both when he thought that the game was Instant Majority and when he realized what the vote format is. Again, WaveofShadow's play shows some inconsistencies, but they are in the details and I actually think that they make him more likely to be town (I explained one of them a few posts back).

Breshke is probably town here as well. I was a bit put off by the way that he defended WaveofShadow when it wasn't necessary, but the comment he gave was absolutely correct, and the way that he posted afterwards seemed genuine. He's been providing useful points and good thoughts this game, and that is a sign of town Breshke.

I think that yamato77 could be mafia here. I'm not going to go into it in detail, but it's just an impression that I get. He makes several comments picking on people's play, and only later attaching an alignment to it (ironically, one example of this is Breshke defending WaveofShadow without taking a stance on WaveofShadow's alignment.... yamato77 only takes an actual stance on Breshke later). Furthermore, yamato77 wanted to point out one of WaveofShadow's statements that had no value (it was a null read on himself), but didn't arrive at any conclusions about WaveofShadow's alignment from this. Yamato77 does seem a bit overly concerned with people's reads on himself.

I might be gone for a while. Good luck, and happy scumhunting!

They're all big words. "very likely to be town" "is also town", but when it comes to the justification it is pretty weak. "His play has direction and focus" "relaxed tone" "play makes sense from a town perspective". It doesn't feel Trfelish to have this strength in his reads for the reasons he's given when he's been incredibly suspicious of me for example during LXX.

meh i feel like this was your first read on truffle just rehashed

what made you revert back to it, art, other than the obvious that he's a viable lynch alternative to yourself today?

It is that same read again, I came back to it due to opening his filter as the first of my three suspects. I came back to it because my other suspects look townier. I've also looked into his meta a bit more (Newbie VII) and it reinforced my read.

Artanis, can you please briefly summarize all of the reasons for your scumread on me? Examples aren't necessary.

Thanks!

1) Tonally very different from your towngame; much more certain in reads until I pinged it out
2) Could not follow your read progression on me. Pointed it out before which you never addressed.
3) Handing out a lot of townreads in general for pretty sketchy reasoning.

Those are my main reasons.

Also it's hard focussing in the game when you're in a call helping someone with a poker tournament.

As for my tone itself, I can't address. For read certainty, the reads you comment on here being more certain are my townreads. I haven't really had a solid scumread all game long.

I don't understand why you have problems with my read progression on you. Most of the posts that you cite were while I was in discussion with people, so we were looking at things and posting our thoughts. My thoughts on you weren't complete, I posted after basically every new (notable) thing that I found, or that someone else pointed out. My read on you changed as I got more information. As for you getting a townread from me easier than before, it's because I held you to standards that are too high last game, and I (hopefully) corrected that error. If you expect me to not rethink my reads when given new information... it's just a sign of lazy play.

As for the reasoning behind my townreads, I guess you're right about this. I have most likely townread someone incorrectly, as per this response to your earlier question:

My track record, plus I have too many townreads.

I guess this has generally felt like a low-content game, and I'm having trouble finding mafia, so I resorted to being more liberal with townreads, which probably wasn't the best idea.

Regarding the read progression, I'm all fine and dandy with that but you never really address it in your posts what made you change. I feel that as town (in the past at least) you often state exactly what changed your mind when it does, and I've missed that this game.

Last time, you mentioned you were much more confident in Yamato being scum than me. Recently, you've mentioned that you don't think Yamato is scum anymore. Am I currently your top scumread or where are you at?

Nvm, you didn't say Yamato was town. Just that you saw reasons for him being town.

Also ninja'd.

Hm, I did explain exactly what caused my read to change each time.

But I pointed out that you didn't. You gave two reasons to townread me, then proceeded to say I was null for things you had noticed and pointed out before.

your contributions don't impress me ^^ what's more valuable is you doing the work you'd said you'd do on truffle so i can get a better read on you

i don't care if you're posting less. that's whatever. what i do expect, though, if you've decided to post less is higher quality posting

The posting less is a consequence of spending less time on the game, which is what the real reason for posting less is for me. Creating quality posts costs time too, therefore it seems unreasonable to expect consistent high quality posts as it'd still require a lot of time. I feel the observations I've had have been decent so far, though.

Reading Trfel, I don't understand his read progression on me at all. He had me as scummy leaning for my comment on waiting for Palmar/BH (which I feel is a dumb reason, but ok), then town for the way I replied to it, then said this about me:
Show nested quote +
Artanis is probably town, though I haven't carefully read the section of the thread in which he was posting. His questions are not only motivated at making reads, but also increasing the thread motivation. While he could do this as scum, I don't think it's terribly likely. In addition to the way that he responded to my pressure on him (previously described), I feel that Artanis is likely town.

So at this point he feels I'm likely town.

Yeah, in retrospect, Artanis hasn't been doing as much as I thought. What he has been doing, though, has been in the right direction. I'm not sure how much of this is due to his post count restriction, and how much of it is due to my annoying him yesterday.

Damdred's tone looks really good for him here. And while some of the things he is doing seem strange, I don't see the mafia motivation, and he has seemingly tried to get more information into the thread. I don't think that he is scum.

Weakening off his townread on me a little, but still maintains that what I'm doing is in the right direction.

And actually as I recall that read is mostly based on meta and contrary to your read soniv kind of interested to see how that plays out.

Also don't quite get that yamato read Trfel.


well, that's easy, wave lol >< i'm right

the really question is whether or not it's reasonable for artie to be wrong about truffle and still town

(truffle is a super easy read imo)

meh guess i should actually read artanis' filter :/
I think that Artanis's scumread of me actually looks good for him. He makes a good point, and that's the sort of read that I expect from him. Would he do that as mafia? Not sure, but I think that he knows that he won't mislynch me this game (or at least, he will need much more evidence first).

I'm still leaning town on Artanis, though is absence is concerning me. Does he agree with the Blazinghand wagon? If not, he should be here and trying to stop it. At the time of his last post, there were four votes on Blazinghand.

If anything looks suspicious, that is it. He doesn't care if Blazinghand is lynched or not.

So he was leaning town on me, then finds another reason to lean town on me (scumreading him).

I take it back, I just have terrible reading comprehension.

Artanis did comment on Blazinghand, first not convinced that he was scum due to his case, and then felt that it was an okay lynch due to the followup. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked.

It isn't a very large or amazing amount of information on Blazinghand, but I suppose I can see it from the perspective who sees an okay lynch, but also sees everyone ignoring what is (in his opinion) a better lynch.

Aaand another reason to townread me. So that's two more reasons to townread me after leaning town on me earlier.

Artanis any thoughts on BH at all? Did you read what I wrote?

I don't like his unwillingness to comment on other things. I don't like his case on Damdred particularly either. As has been said, it's a narrative. Seems like a good chance to flip scum.

I need to do some more work on Trfel and flesh my read on him out but I have to leave for theater in a sec. Will get something done later tonight. Kinda annoyed no one's commented on him since I called him scummy but you though.


mmm or maybe just benching the read for later?

okay i guess i can give artie some space to see what comes of this
It seemed to me that Artanis would be back later to finish his read on me.

Artanis is sort of null, I suppose, given both his semi-weak stance on Blazinghand and not having the thread leadership that I thought he did at a glance.

I expect scum to be among Artanis, yamato77, and maybe Breshke, even though I can't demonstrate that any of them are clear scum yet.

What happened? I don't understand this progression at all.


On another note, I think I might also want to lynch Palmar for voting for Yamato when Wave was his top suspect, and he suspected Yamato for the way he treated Wave's case rather than going after Wave himself. He also never really re-evaled Wave. Palmar's tone is always pretty confident these days I find, so I don't want to clear him for that in retrospect. Also a case of other people being townier.

Basically, what's weird to me about Palmar is how Wave is his prime suspect, yet he never really goes to full lengths to get him lynched or research him, but rather just goes after Yamato when thread sentiment is turning against Yamato making him an easier mislynch (presuming Yamato is town). It doesn't seem like he's all that concerned about getting Wave lynched. His vote on him is completely meaningless too with no thread support and him not trying at all to get people on board the Wave train. He's never added anything to his initial case.

But Palmar is a lynch for a day when it isn't the weekend so he has a chance to reply.
