But then I didn't have enough time, so I didn't.My name is Trfel. So instead, I'll just cut to the point. I had this great toneread on Half the Sky, and then I realized that rsoultin already commented on the same thing. I agree that Half the Sky's "happiness" does feel very forced. I'm also somewhat suspicious of LightningStrike. Not for wasting posts, but for justifying a lower posting (and higher content) style by saying he will play like someone else did in a game isn't necessary at all. If LightningStrike wanted to use a low post count style because of the post limit, I would expect him to just go ahead and do that (and quite possibly announce what he would be doing). But I really don't understand why he would justify this by comparing it to someone else in a different game. I would be inclined to think that KelsierSC is town, but this post gives me pause.Rsoultin already expressed that she is suspicious of Half the Sky, so I'm really not sure why KelsierSC is asking this. KelsierSC has no reason to say this, so it feels like buddying to me. she made a post with a lot of words in it but I had no idea who was mafia. | ||

However at this point I have a couple of preliminary town reads I believe just by tone and posting style and somewhat on content. Rsoultin seems to be genuinely using the posts to press good ideas while pressing issues that are important in the thread. HTS and Trfel both seem to have a good tone about them and it seems it is easy to follow what they mean while it somewhat mirrors what RS says I think it is a good sign of things to come and both are good leans. KSC... is a bit harder for me to get a handle on at this point, I have a slight town lean on him. His tone and general demeanor remind me of Void Mafia at this point. However his style is also reminiscent of mini mafia to an extent, but the content is different. I'm pretty ok with him at this point. LS is interesting, he always wastes posts but we'll see what his other posts do. I'm a bit confused damdred Rs is pressing good ideas and important issues , but the only "good" idea she has really pushed is that HTS has a forced tone and is mafia. | ||

Firstly I don't necessarily have to agree with someones read on them to like the direction that they are going in the way that they are posting or the ideas they are pushing. I think that HTS tone is decent in the post and I just kind of tacked it on to see who would call me out on it while they were reading. Plus it got some more conversation going (5) sorry but this feels like a planned play to get yourself townread rather than actually trying to accomplish anything. | ||

Damdred - probably the person i've been struggling with the most. I didn't like his early rsoul read but he has defended it pretty well, I also didn't like his prepared play, to be honest it didn't look like it achieved much, but I guess Damdred decided Trfel and I were town from it and got called scummy for it. It seems a strange thing to do as scum, so i'm not going to wide eyed over it. I think his GB reads were actually quite strong post (8), they seemed to come from a town perspective. following on from that he has been active this phase and generated a lot of discussion so overall I think he is town for now. Talkingdead - I liked the initial thoughts on GB, about how he gives a magic read then gives crappy explanations, but I don't know where this town-town and mafia-mafia business came from , absolutely no reason for this to be the case. I think his top town read is yamato which. no offence intended, is a bit of a stretch. He makes the point about rsoul being townread for bad reasons, already did it, easy thing to say. Then the end of his post is a desire to policy lynch BM. It's a on balance feels scummy to me. GB - Never really know what GB is doing, if it was a battle between GB and damdred then damdred wins but I don't know if it makes GB completely mafia. the points GB made were that GB has inconsistent reads and that "you townread X for this but not Y" well the point is people read others on different criteria my town tell isn't the same as others. if you take out this aspect against GB then there isn't a lot left. He has gone back and looked over his reads and made some alterations which is a towny thing to do. overall I think he is town but this isn't a strong read VE Just a tone thing so far that feels town , when I see more substantial reads then I will make more of a commitment. rsoul - Lot of people call her town but I don't really know her style, her posts give me brain cancer. If you break down what she has said so far the only real commitment is HTS is scum, everyone else is "leaning town" or "town" trfel - initial post was a buddy to rsoul and was trying to twist my actions into being scummy, didn't really like this but then his cross examination of myself and damdred could be a town trying to figure out the game. I really can't figure him out Lightningstrike - called him scum because his first 3 posts were terrible and he has run away like a scaredy cat. pretty weak response overall No one else has stood out to me or been significant, probably makes you null so far , I will take questions if you want | ||

I don't think you have said anything particularly controversial in your post, things are sort of "odd" "pretty bad" "we shall see", can you go against the wall of text style and maybe give some towns and some scum? if you don't have any then just say that | ||

I can't read the LS post ![]() KSC: I can sort of agree with the fact that making weird plays (Damdred) more often comes from town. It's just that this assumes that it *was* in fact a prepared play and not to cover up questionable reads. In any case, how exactly did LS's post make you change your read? I at least couldn't really extract anything from it. well, my initial scum read on him was because the first few posts were terrible and didn't say anything. He said he was going to post in a specific, albeit terrible, way and now he has actually made a contribution to the game I don't have any reason to scumread him anymore. I'll reevaluate him when he gives more as his post didn't break any new ground, null for now | ||

It's generally a scum tendency to not want to draw attention to themselves. Why are you afraid to lean one way or another on someone? Generally when you meta read someone or compare points on meta you're a bit more confident. In Newbie LX I was scum, but here if my entrance is not great, I only "could" be scum? I'm a bit confused by this HTS, i;m reading through the Newbie LX game and in that LS seems to not be calling you scum at the beginning but you are claiming he strongly meta read you as scum that game?

Half the Sky: Town: She made some silly posts at the start yes but everyone over analyzed them but not unusual from her type of entrance since she did similar entrances in Student Mafia IV and Carol of the Bells Mafia and she been asking some good questions towards The Shining and been following through her questioning and also defended her posts in a manor I feel townie from her. 3.

You'd have to read either in the obs qt or the post-game but he was particularly noted for being the only one to scumread me all game, that's how he stuck out that game. Also Kels, I find it interesting you pulled that up because in this game he's saying He's saying that because I was scum in Newbie LX, that my opening this game could be alignment indicative. Though that still raises an interesting point. Why does he say "alignment indicative" instead of straight up calling me scummy or leaning scum on me? ah ok I get what you're saying now. you're saying he should very much be calling you scum or town because of the previous game in which you were scum. I thought you were saying at the beginning of that game he called you scum which isn't how I read it. LS has been pretty all over the place so far , kind of looks like floundering scum, pressured into a read and shows a bit of push back calling HTS scum, then instantly retracting and now calling her town. On May 11 2015 03:25 LightningStrike wrote: Town she had some good large posts on analyzing stuff about GlowingBear and is thinking critically. so LS do you agree with the analysis that HTS did ? HTS I also don't like TD , but i don't agree with your reasons. point 1 is kind of meh, if you don't like someone you can give your read and a reason without asking them a question. Point 2 is ok , I sort of think at first glance the argument damdred puts forward looks strong and it certainly comes from a townie place, but is actually weak in retrospect, I definitely think not explaining why the argument is weak is a negative for him. for point 3 I don't know if he blows it out of proportion, he hasn't really pushed any agenda as far as i'm aware. As i said, he did some stuff I didn't like but nothing like concrete I guess. Your GB points are interesting but I don't think they make him mafia. You don't have to respond every time someone calls you scum or if someone else doesn't share a scumread with you. I think GB is town for some reason But I like the effort your putting in and you have pushed some interesting stuff so I like you so far. | ||

On May 11 2015 04:03 TalkingDead wrote: yamato77 Yamato like many veterans generally gives very few fucks when he can't lynch people. Between tone (slight hopeful, slight asshole) and his color coding, these are far more likely to come from town!yamato. The interesting thing to note is that he doesn't seem to care whatsoever what he says; instead, he pops in, makes a comment and leaves. I for one expect more from him, but there doesn't look like he has any ulterior motive in posting. Rather he just says what he wants to say. That's why I have him as so strongly town. KelsierSC I think he's town mostly based on how obviously hypocritical he is. He spends the first half of his posts talking about how awful other people's post are and how they're wasting posts while he doesn't really bother adding anything himself. That's behavior that I tend to associate with town more than mafia. There's also the aspect that there's no real directional push; rather, it's pecking at a variety of other players. The only reason why I would put him on the town side of null instead of fully town is because his reads are pretty terrible. I find how he backs off of GB rather odd; I can't really understand: Because when you look at GB's filter, I'm not seeing any alterations in his reads. First post is essentially a joke; GB has 1 moderate length reads post and a post expanding upon his MIA Damdred read. Rather the GB read feels very much like a preemptive defense while trying to push elsewhere. So if either GB or Kelsier flips mafia, then I'd take a heavy look at the other. VisceraEyes I find it rather out of place that VE is somewhat bothering to play if VE is town. I agree with Kelsier that on tone, VE looks a bit towny, but quite often VE has complained about not being able to lynch people. By this I mean that in games like PYP or here, where there's a 'pre-game' phase where you have alignment and can talk but are unable to lynch people quite often he as complained about not bothering to play because there's very little point in playing due to the lack of a perceived threat. He can't realistically threaten to lynch or shoot or nuke or whatever anyone and therefore feels less capable of applying pressure. I do find it odd that he didn't harp on BillMurray's last post at all because usually town!VE hates and tends to scumread the "leading on" type of post. His Batsnacks read and his GB/Batsnacks/Onegu observation are things that I'd normally expect from town!VE though. Since in at least a few of those games VE was mafia and because town!VE reads, I'm going to leave him at null to town. marvellosity I have him as town for tone alone. It's really not worth considering him until day 2 at the very earliest and if he's alive on day 3 then just lynch him. But I will be sheeping him on day 1. HalftheSky HTS is town. Period. She's made an exceptional number of interesting points (GB reaction to yamato, Damdred's word choice, initial poke at LightningStrike). BillMurray This post strikes me as particularly odd. Not only had he donated posts to Damdred, something which historically has happened more from mafia than town, he doesn't use any of his posts productively. He promises more useful things in the bland future. Yet, the most interesting thing to me is his caring about going over the limit. That's a behavior that I expect far more to come from mafia as they know they're part of a team which they would hurt by getting modkilled due to rules. Town tends to just damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. This is on top of BillMurray not being an awful player as town. By far the best lynch on day 1. Onegu There's a variety of odd things with him. I think he's the third best lynch on day 1. He's drinking but doesn't post. There's this post: Which is a really odd thought process to me. How could town possibly get the traitor role? Usually town that can become mafia has a different role name. This is also a normal game and therefore no alignment changes should ever happen. Trfel Trfel's posts aren't quite in-depth enough for me to really think he's town, but I like the points he's making. Null-town for now and flesh it out more on day 1. LightningStike Others have covered this for the most part. LS is the second best lynch for D1. Damdred GlowingBear In looking through things there are a few things I find interesting. I found this post quite odd. Initially so because he reaffirms his Damdred scumread but then bothers to comment on something that's supposed to be viewed as scummy but is just null. The townread on KelsierSC I find interesting because Kelsier also ended up with an odd townread on GlowingBear. But also because GlowingBear doesn't mention Trfel at all while Trfel had an interesting point on how LightningStrike was posting. But in looking further at it, he doesn't seem to place heavy weight on LS being mafia based on talking about how he's going to make consolidated posts. He gives Kelsier a townread for mostly calling out LS for "legit reasons" which GlowingBear doesn't want to follow up on. It's just exceptionally odd. GlowingBear's reads in general are just exceptionally odd on top of that. Initially, I felt like GlowingBear was trying to bus Damdred and Damdred was (at least initially) trying to back him out of that read in a semi-natural way and get GlowingBear to chill out. But in looking more specifically at the connections, the KelsierSC-GlowingBear connection is a bit more odd. I think there are better lynches on day 1 because often enough the person with really weird fucked up reads is just a bad towny which wouldn't be out of place for GlowingBear. But I also wouldn't balk at his lynch since something's definitely wrong here. 5)Damdred This post is too long already and I need to get some food. I'll comment on him later. tl;dr I think GlowingBear vs Damdred is more likely to be town-town right now. Nothing of note to say about Xatalos batsnacks ObiWanShinobi Oatsmaster justanothertownie MIAs Palmer Stutters Vivax Blazinghand sandroba RebirthOfLeGend how rude. I suppose the yamato thing is ok...I mean you had him as top town after two of his posts i think which were his all caps dreamflower and his colour code. Maybe you can argue a tone read now but at that point to call him top town i didn't like. So at this stage if marv wanted to lynch a townread of yours , you would sheep that? if I may be so bold to colour some of your reads would it be something like this HTS GB Damdred VE Lightning Strike because I have those exact reads yet apparently they are awful so i'm a bit confused. | ||

Where i'm at from the n0 is a pretty good town circle consisting of HTS Damdred VE Rs GB I decided to add Rs because she is someone I remember being active in the night and did give lots of reads and explanations, it takes a bit of digging but it is there. mostly the fact that I remember her , some people called her town and some people, myself included, saying "woo take care don't town read her yet", probably means she is town. Lightning is kind of all over the place but as pointed out this isn't really alignment indicative and he is trying to get some stuff done. TD is who I want to lynch right now , TD i still want you to respond to the post I made before this, I asked you several questions that need a response. For everyone else , I don't really remember you enough to say anything so..do stuff I guess. I think in the next tier. Sandro, JAT, Xat were ok so need to read them again and make a judgement. | ||

Damdred makes what looks like a snide compliment implying GB isn't thinking whatsoever and just ignores GlowingBear. GlowingBear makes his large post with the odd Damdred followup. Damdred counter pushes GlowingBear almost reactively in a "explore every detail" aspect. GlowingBear counter-counterpushes back. Then Damdred tries to disengage with the classic, "He's just mudslinging for total discredit value instead of arguing points." The point of this is that neither really goes ham on the other. There's no large shitstorm, mudslinging or dickwaggling contest. For the most part, both of them tend to believe that they're right and that ignore relevant points the other has while claiming the 'high ground' for themselves. Then for the most part they both disengage from direct contact to worth with others. To me, this is a situation where they share alignments because as town-town they both know they can be wrong here and instead want to either engage other people to confirm or deny biased views. As mafia-mafia, there's no real advantage to hard double bus this early and get heavily place the focus on both of you especially when Damdred is a player who (while good at scum) works best when he's out of the direct spotlight. I excluded mafia-town because normally in mafia-town interaction, one of the two will hold onto and beat a dead horse (in regards to arguing with the other person). The specific reason why I end up at town-town specifically on the two is because that's where I end up on both of them individually. Damdred looks really towny to me based on how he's interacting, tone, interest level and thought process. GlowingBear is likely the most controversial person in the thread; the most controversial person is almost always town. On the whole, I'm surprised that you're less interested in talking about BillMurray, Blazinghand, LightningStrike or numerous others. Potentially even Trfel. well I guess that makes sense, I'm not sure about this point "Damdred makes what looks like a snide compliment implying GB isn't thinking whatsoever" I didn't see that in the quote..I'm not sure if you are trying to twist the quote to fit your narrative now. leaving this for now. what about the other questions I asked you , the ones I quoted. furthermore , what is weird to me is that you call it town-town. but the way you spoke about GB in the large post is to call him mafia . but yeh want to hear the rest of your answers.

Well one last thing he's really putting himself forward and not trying to blend in, I don't see a scum who has received some heat still putting this forward I think hr would be more agreeable and trying to explain rather than not and not blending. (2) well you said that you were going to get grief for it, does your read on td still stand after his novel? | ||

Your point about "blending" doesn't make any sense, if people are questioning you and you dodge, don't answer and say reread you are going to get called mafia. | ||

He answered the question posed in perhaps an overexplained way, but it was really good I felt. I don't think you know what blending is, hes still not doing it. If he wanted to blend in he would auto answer things or make comments that wouldn't get him called out and sink back into the muddy water that is the rest of the player list. (4) your calling him town because he is not blending in, but that isn't an option for him at this point so calling him town for that is stupid. | ||

As explained already, you haven't blended in because you don't have the choice. i don't even know what your cookie jar is a reference to , unless you are going to try and call me mafia now. you still haven't answered my earlier question On May 11 2015 12:33 Damdred wrote: Now you are just being kinda not fun right now. He answered questions in a way that caused him not to blend in. Mafia like to blend in and will usually bend to peoples wills to fit in before they can't blend in anymore. They don't like being called out for things especially this early in the game. (that is just a general heusitc.) Of course i'll call someone town for a good post if i'm already town reading them. And you are kind of arguing a pointless thing? If you disagree with my reasoning then disagree with it but this isn't the way to prove i'm wrong or scum.

- did things I didn't like early game, the yamato as top town, the town-town business. - very contradictory big list post, talks about GB like he is mafia then says it's town-town between dam and gb - calls me town with "terrible reads" but he shared the majority of my reads, wouldn't explain this - generally obstructive - when he does explain it felt like an over explanation and he was twisting quotes to fit his narrative , too much information gleaned is what it felt like - wants us to talk about other people without giving his own opinion of them. I think sandrobo is town, his progression seems reasonable to me. as for my fight with damdred...i guess town can disagree with eachother sometimes, anyway im off to sleep peace. | ||

Xatalos - I like the point that damdred brought up about him, his play has been agreeable, just that, agreed with me about LS and then asked some questions without following up, since then disappeared. I too have a scum lean on this guy. Nuke - wtf just happened here, firstly Trefl is nowhere near the most inactive in the game, the overall read on this guy was that his tone was ok and he raised some ok points, just needed to see more. If that is the impression why the hell do you nuke the guy, maybe raise suspicion of him to get him to talk but don't nuke him. If your criteria is inactivity there are people who haven't said a word and people like rebirth. Overall a horrible move, that being said. I don't know what it says for BM alignment yet. BH - good anti-nuke, a plus in this guys favour. I guess town for now I went into yesterday trying to get reads on Xat, Sandro and JAT as mentioned I think sandro is town Xat feels scum after Damdred's point I don't like JAT so far, in my experience I think he would have contributed a lot more, so far he has been snipey and either shot down reads or asked questions that don't lead anywhere On May 11 2015 04:43 justanothertownie wrote: I don't understand the rayn read and the mafia read for this post I understand even less.

Questions Preface Some of this post (including this preface) was written before the anti-nuke. I'm tired and too lazy to edit it. If I'm going to be playing this game knowing that I get nuked at the end of the cycle, at least I'm going to play it my way. So you will be dealing with extremely long posts, random Styx songs, and complete lack of self confidence. I'm not going to adjust my play to please people who nuke me for inactivity on Mothers' Day. If you don't like it, be glad I won't be here for very long. On the bright side, at least I'm not going to be lynched today. Listen to the above song, it's really quite good. And fitting for the occasion. This song is a good example of why I like Styx: their songs have good melodies and good chord progressions, but they all have fairly good lyrics and most of them actually say something rather profound, or evoke a deep emotion. This song in particular makes me think of my friends and family separated by time and space, and pains me because in many cases, there is no more time. Bill Murray I do not have the ability to call down nukes. I have learned that Bill Murray's nuke is real or he has a role specifically allowing him to fake nuke people (which I do not believe is specified by the OP, can anyone else confirm this?). So, I'm obviously biased against Bill Murray. We didn't get along all that well in Student Mafia VIII, despite both being town. He really doesn't like my style of using longer posts. And I'm obviously very annoyed at being nuked for wanting to spend time with my family on Mothers' Day, while saying that I would catch up with the game this evening (and Bill Murray supposedly read my filter). Everything about Bill Murray's play is screaming mafia. But can town really be completely lazy, and decide to do this? I can't rule it out, especially knowing that Bill Murray really doesn't like me. So I think that it is best if I refrain from posting reads on Bill Murray, because anything that I say is clouded in personal bias and frustration. GlowingBear So, GlowingBear doesn't want mafia to shoot other mafia, thus wanting mafia to stay alive? More seriously though... he provided an early townread on batsnacks, and then reverses that townread for poor reasons (remembering that batsnacks' first post, and an unflipped association read). However, I do like his early pressure on Damdred. And his posts seem to have a carefree attitude, he really doesn't seem like he cares what people think about him. I'm not too certain about this, but I'm slightly leaning town on GlowingBear at this time. KelsierSC I'm suspicious of KelsierSC. He opened the game very aggressively, pushing suspicion at many players (LightningStrike, rsoultin, and Damdred). His read development on these three players is very interesting.

I'm kinda on the fence about you because you've said so much, but I can't help but feel like a lot that you've said doesn't make much sense/ doesn't add up/ looks like fake content. It might as well be that you are town producing huge amounts of BS to try to look town, which I don't think is a particularly good strategy, however the way you've adressed the suspicions saying acting scummy was all a part of a plan I'm having a hard time buying into. The person I feel most strongly about is TD and I would like you to share your thoughts on him/ what I've said about him.

I don't really get why people let this sort of thing slide. Also if BH was going to anti-nuke the nuke, I don't know why he did it so soon, it seems really information-restrictive. Essentially it means we should by lynching BM. BM being BM or not being BM, the bolded reasoning is just nonsense. Game's barely started. Why launch the nuke so soon? There's no reason for it. Time and time again in Ver games mafia are forgiven for really terrible in-thread plays on the basis it's too terrible to be scum. Except it's just ballsy yolo with the expectation of not being punished. Giving posts unannounced to Damdred was also very weird. tldr; terrible shot based on terrible reason, no sweepy under carpetty pls. I don't think this is a town nuke. ##Vote: Bill Murray Random other things - sandroba looks better than other games lately, reads are more indepth, also I like performing a sexy naked dance while his eye is on me My early damdy read good read TalkingDead lynch bad lynch Onegu may be mafia, the multiple !!! seem really OTT and follows up with this random post directed at a bunch of people with no meaning behind it in response to this post you say On May 11 2015 20:50 sandroba wrote: @marv I agree with all your points (BM, onegu, damdred), but I'm having a hard time with the TD town read so if you could go into a little more detail maybe I can be convinced and get over it. The only thing that actually gave me pause was that he insinuated something that I think damdred caught onto as well. meaning you agree that dam is town now, i'm not really sure where this sudden change came from. Then you said you agree with the point marv raised on dam but all he said was that he called him town earlier , it wasn't really a point as to why damdred is town. It would be good if you could flesh this out because it seems like you are contradicting yourself just to read dam as town. | ||

I was saying that I agree with some of his reads, but I would actually like him to elaborate on something because I have a really bad feeling about his posting so far. His reads all seem very shallow and direct, he doesn't seem to be considering other angles, is very dismissive, disconected from the game like he doesn't really care about the outcome and lacking emotion I usually see in his games as town. Not sure if I really answered your question, but I was really trying to get something out of marv without getting on his face to see how he would interact with me. So far I'm displeased. hmm ok I guess that makes sense, the question to marv part. what made you change your mind about damdred, the thing I saw was that if you were wrong about TD then you would feel better about damdred, so did you change your mind on TD? or is my reading just bad and you just feel better about damdred regardless. i'm referring to this post.

On the other hand lots of people seem to think the same but I will need to find something tangible on my own. The nuke business was pretty interesting. Trfel was in the scummish list of BH during N0 and D1 BH didn't really bother to even figure his alignment out before deciding the anti-nuke. He only asked a question but doesn't seem puzzled about whether he should use it or not. which I think is a pretty good observation. I think he has asked some good questions and you know he hasn't just gone along with the thread, not everyone is calling you mafia so I don't know if that would be thread sentiment and mafia reading damdred is a guy thinking on his own imo. I played with vivax a few times but he was out of his mind on pain killers during that , he seems relaxed here so I wouldn't lynch him. | ||

I think it's just not correct to say you "can't see it coming from a town perspective" maybe he judged trefl was town and decided not to let him get hit by a nuke. that feels townie to me. some people are saying it isn't "optimal" because more info could have been gathered, whilst I agree I don't think that makes BH scummy. in the heat of the moment he saved someone he thought was town. for the second nuke he waited a while and then decided to anti it, more in line with an optimal play, that nuke was terrible marv is clear town so that is a pro town move from BH. If BH is mafia it may have made sense to wait it out even longer and see if someone who is town uses an anti nuke to save marv. he can claim he has none left. i don't really see the double standard, if people complain he acted to rashly with the first anti, to wait on the second. I disagree with your analysis | ||

Only a guy with perfect information would react that way. To me, Kelsen, BH asked Palmar's permission so he could blame Palmar once marv flips read. This is somehow approaching WIFOM territory, but very plausible. yes I understand that point, but I have also presented a case where BH is town, saying "you just can't see it being town" isn't true consider yourself as mafia, someone nukes marv! who is likely town here, you can claim that you have no anti nukes left, but instead you decide to save him? that doesn't make sense to me. | ||

Firstly though On May 12 2015 13:48 Oatsmaster wrote: BH is town probably. This shit is so bad though What a waffley defence that is super weird. I read this and instantly thought of scum asking xata to defend BM and this is what he came up with. I think this point is really good, this reminds me of the Carols game where I made some awful play as mafia and xatalos made up some waffle to defend me for it, furthermore in that game damdred made a point that xatalos looks more like town when he is mafia, his play this game seems formulaic town. I think this is a good read from oats and I won't lynch him today. On May 12 2015 18:58 marvellosity wrote: Seen it been mentioned a few times, but I think BH is a pretty terrible lynch, certainly anyone saving me from a nuke I am not going to vote for today. Three people who I think are good lynches, other than BM: Vivax - somehow when I read his posts last night they didn't seem *too* uninteresting. So I was left feeling a little town from it. But in the end, they led nowhere, game has been going on quite a while now, not enough to hang my hat on Oats - promised GB he'd try properly this game. I don't really remember his posts. Xatalos - he's boring. that's enough. I'm not very sure about my earlier Onegu read. I read Onegu + rsoultin arguing last night when I was pretty baked and I couldn't work out what the fuck was going on. Anyone have any bright insights? I drank a whole bottle of wine last night and was pretty fucked up but I thought that onegu felt town in the exchange, he showed some good buck , the points against him were pretty weak all it amounted to was that he claimed traitor or something stupid like that. ---- I would lynch BM, reading his posts it's just awful I can't really give it a better word. something like 12 hours after his nukes he gives these long winded reasons about how he wants to "generate conversation" in a thread where things were already being talked about, then says how he has this huge burden and wants to make people aware of it. he looks for a lynch on onegu with this dumb shit On May 12 2015 06:51 Bill Murray wrote: Onegu is traitor too just need to find 2 more mafia. looking @ xatalos/talkingdead/vivax yeh onegu claimed traitor ok, and then gives 3 people who are the thread sentiment mafia. posts a load of stuff about onegu then trefl his mafia, but town for lurking is now mafia again On May 12 2015 16:22 Bill Murray wrote: So Trfel makes excuses "ill be absent" "this post it so ensure that i comply with the one post every 24 hours rule" then he posts a video... cool. really beneficial before this all he had done was harass people Then I nuke him for behaving like this, which didnt fit how he played last game as town WITHIN AN HOUR of him "fulfilling his daily post on mothers day", he posts: And not only that, but he wants to misrepresent what happened He instead attacks me NOT for me nuking him, but wants to lie and come up with some bullshit excuse to basically omgus me 1) he tries to nuke me in return that doesnt work 2) he votes me 3) he then proceeded to ask me if i have any more nukes after unvoting 4) he finds out i have no more nukes 5) he votes me again this guy isnt enjoyable to play with, and his behavior is self serving and scummy as fuck a very weak read overall he just seems to bounce around trying to get something to stick that isn't himself. his nuke play was scummy, taking that out, the rest of his play has been terrible I don't understand how anyone has a townread on him at all and he needs to be removed from the game. So moving on. I'd probably lynch BM, Xat, TD, in that order. The only thing that gives me pause about lynching BM is that TD has basically pushed that and nothing else. my earlier points on TD still stand and are available to view in my filter. His read on oats is a total fabrication, On May 12 2015 09:02 TalkingDead wrote: Reposted because it's relevant and people seem to have dropped the idea entirely. However, the person that I find the most interesting is Oatsmaster. Generally what I've seen from Oatsmaster as town is that he's abrasive and does his own thing. Whereas in this game, he tends to just follow what's going on with thread sentiment. Specifically: saying oats isn't being abrasive isn't supported by the first line of oat's statement. So aside from a weak oats read TD has tried to push a lynch on BM and has raised the point that "even if he is town he will just be a pain to hear about"...giving himself an excuse for when BM flips town? you lynch the guy you think is mafia you don't lynch the guy who is town but will be a pain to read about. if you don't want to read about him then you can push discussion elsewhere in the next phase. The likely scenario for me is that I will listen to palmar, marv and damdred and cast my vote to kill any of my scum reads. I have other scumreads but not really worth discussing, incidentally where has JAT gone to? I also want to hear something from bats, just anything really | ||

He hasn't done much and what he's done is sheeping thread sentiment on myself and randomly scumreading Damdred for a pretty far-fetched reason. Both targets for suspicion-spreading are probably town. I think his scum meta was being useless which fits here well enough. Not really sold on TD. I think his reads seem decent enough and he's put in some effort. How exactly is he "blending in" or something? pushed on onegu when thread was against him a lot of nonsense about how onegu had claimed traitor or something, again just sort of sheeps the thread On May 13 2015 02:00 Xatalos wrote: Tbh I think Onegu *is* actually soft claiming Traitor here. "Not happy about being town", "I want to be scum".... Even with the actual word "Traitor" in there. It's pretty blatant, yeah, but it would make sense to be somewhat obvious to get the scumteam to notice you. I think he just went slightly overboard there while doing that. Then there's this... Basically he's defending himself using the argument that he was too stupid / didn't think when posting that. It just feels off that he would specifically defend himself using the "dumb" argument. I get the feeling that he planned it out and was preparing to use that defense just like this after fulfilling the purpose of signaling the scumteam. He's also not really interested in figuring the game out at all. He's just wasting his N0 posts, continues wasting his D1 posts (giving some shallow reads and one-liners like going through the motions, but otherwise nothing noteworthy)... His most recent post showcases the lack of interest in anything useful, even going so far as to push scum agenda (simultaneously wasting his posts and fueling the fire/chaos in thread). Weird defense of BM? I really don't get what this is supposed to mean. Unfortunately we apparently can't know BM's alignment anymore. This is pretty much his biggest contribution to the game. Pretty... inconclusive / weak. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the only thing he did so far. then once thread shifts to oats he starts to bury him On May 13 2015 02:31 Xatalos wrote: I can't explain what Oats is doing with his reads either. What happened to your scumread on sandroba suddenly, Oats? You're accusing him for a while and suddenly he's just incomprehensibly town. add on that this question is absolutely retarded because oats already explained why he changed the read, xat just trying to call oats scum and not actually objectively look at the posts now he is back onto vivax when it looks like he will be lynched -restating this point I made earlier about him.

Firstly though On May 12 2015 13:48 Oatsmaster wrote: BH is town probably. This shit is so bad though What a waffley defence that is super weird. I read this and instantly thought of scum asking xata to defend BM and this is what he came up with. I think this point is really good, this reminds me of the Carols game where I made some awful play as mafia and xatalos made up some waffle to defend me for it, furthermore in that game damdred made a point that xatalos looks more like town when he is mafia, his play this game seems formulaic town. I think this is a good read from oats and I won't lynch him today. I drank a whole bottle of wine last night and was pretty fucked up but I thought that onegu felt town in the exchange, he showed some good buck , the points against him were pretty weak all it amounted to was that he claimed traitor or something stupid like that. ---- I would lynch BM, reading his posts it's just awful I can't really give it a better word. something like 12 hours after his nukes he gives these long winded reasons about how he wants to "generate conversation" in a thread where things were already being talked about, then says how he has this huge burden and wants to make people aware of it. he looks for a lynch on onegu with this dumb shit yeh onegu claimed traitor ok, and then gives 3 people who are the thread sentiment mafia. posts a load of stuff about onegu then trefl his mafia, but town for lurking is now mafia again a very weak read overall he just seems to bounce around trying to get something to stick that isn't himself. his nuke play was scummy, taking that out, the rest of his play has been terrible I don't understand how anyone has a townread on him at all and he needs to be removed from the game. So moving on. I'd probably lynch BM, Xat, TD, in that order. The only thing that gives me pause about lynching BM is that TD has basically pushed that and nothing else. my earlier points on TD still stand and are available to view in my filter. His read on oats is a total fabrication, saying oats isn't being abrasive isn't supported by the first line of oat's statement. So aside from a weak oats read TD has tried to push a lynch on BM and has raised the point that "even if he is town he will just be a pain to hear about"...giving himself an excuse for when BM flips town? you lynch the guy you think is mafia you don't lynch the guy who is town but will be a pain to read about. if you don't want to read about him then you can push discussion elsewhere in the next phase. The likely scenario for me is that I will listen to palmar, marv and damdred and cast my vote to kill any of my scum reads. I have other scumreads but not really worth discussing, incidentally where has JAT gone to? I also want to hear something from bats, just anything really personally aswell damdred , VE and marv have disliked xatalos which is good for me. I don't know about vivax i just get the feeling he might be town, I brought up a decent observation he made early on. He has been pretty controversial and played his own game which is what I am used to. | ||

You're even still talking about "murky reads" or something... Based on my first brief read post I guess. KSC - you're just flat out misrepresenting things. Like you saying that my post about Oats was wrong when you never bothered to do anything about the post where I explained why YOU were wrong. And me voting Vivax rather than myself (duh?). And going after Onegu as an "easy target" (does scummy = easy these days?). He wasn't even being voted at all.... Just what.... I think we should probably lynch Onegu, Vivax or BH. I'd really, really rather not day my tomorrow to stay up until the lynch. oh BH is in your list now =). as long as it isn't you I guess that's all that matters i'm not misrepresenting you at all, I was in the thread at those times and the thread sentiment was against those people and you pop up to try and bury them. | ||

In which case I think that the best chance is with Vivax. I don't find Xatalos terribly scummy from the perspective of him being extremely busy and not having the time to make really deep reads. He isn't pretending that he is playing at his full ability. I don't really like Blazinghand, but he hasn't really made reads yet. I mislynched him last game, and he's willing to do whatever he feels like. I just don't feel confident that he is scum because he hasn't given very much to work with. I don't see what is so impressive about Vivax's posting as of late. His posts don't feel like they have any direction or focus, and he isn't elaborating on his main scumreads. He's pushing reads all over the place, but nothing is very well explained or detailed. Furthermore, Vivax is going to be away for a while, so there will be no more information with which to read him. this is actually good | ||

marv made a case on bh, i like marv but i don't really want to lynch BH, because I think he's town and he did save marv from the nuke. yamato i don't like xat and neither does damdred trfel made a good post on vivax, my town read on him is just a feeling and yeh trfel's post is really good. I don't know its d1, I think i want to see a vote count and then make a choice. I wish palmar was here. | ||

with xatalos, still my top scum read but i haven't convinced people reading vivax again, i sort of agree with hts post, he hasn't really done anything that makes me want to keep him alive I liked one early post of his but he has been pretty lazy. I also really like trefls post. if marv , HTS and GB like a vivax lynch..i'm ok with that and I want to keep BH alive over vivax for sure. leaving my vote on xatalos accomplishes nothing at this point. ##unvote ##vote: vivax | ||

Meta being that he was very aggressively poking at people earlier, but in his town games he tends to townread people early (this is uncertain, though, since I did not find a scum game of his where he posted early in the game). His reads have changed with seemingly little reason and his focus has been on the wrong things. I find it hard to see his reads coming from a town mindset. which reads of mine have changed with no reason? | ||

I still think Xat is mafia so that is going to be where I look in the night, xatalos was a real lynch but it never quite got there and the lynch ended up between vivax and BH, i need to know how that happened. If BH is town and we know vivax is town then you know i'm more looking at people who wanted the lynch not to be xat or who just seemed happy to sit where they were, off the top of my head, I'd look at these people tomorrow Xat JAT TD LS Rs i'm not sure how to evaluate RS actions EOD as apparently she had some personal vendetta to get bh lynched . not too happy if that is the case. then I also think it is important to consider the people who didn't give a shit EOD and seemed to float under the radar bats RoL obi palmars play was really weird aswell just leaving his vote out on sand when that was never really going to be the lynch. I also don't see stutters vote so I'm not sure what is happening with that. I will look through things more closely during the night phase but that is where I am at right now. | ||

Why do people think this guy is town? He just name dropped more than a third of the game without any real sense of direction or context and just made almost all of them seem suspicious. It's an incredibly unfocused post and reeks of mafia casting doubt. I was explaining where my head was at after EOD and where I planned to look. there is no direction or context at this point because I haven't made up my mind on everyone yet. when I have decided who I think is mafia and who we should lynch then I will let you know. as I have done throughout the game. | ||

I won't specifically mention any pms the host may or may not have sent me, but if *I* were hosting this game, I think the correct way to deal with Blazinghand's overposting would be to allow him 5 posts during N1 and 10 posts during the combined D2+N2 cycle. I'd be pretty surprised if Hapahauli diverged from this gold standard. Not saying anything about any PMs I may or may not have recieved from mods though, since that would be against the rules, just saying that I'd expect someone in my position to be allowed 5 posts N1 and 10 posts during D2+N2, and so some donations (AFTER THE START OF D2) would potentially be useful. Since I have 14 posts for tonight, I'll make sure to stay focused. I definitely pushed it with the amount of posts near the end of D1 there but it prevented me from getting lynched. Sadly, I didn't have the thread influence to make the yamato lynch happen. My initial plans for the N1 involve talking about Yamato a bit, and investigating a couple other scumreads. Probably not rsoultin, since I think it's not important to consider her unless she lives to D2 (she's a very very popular N1 shot since she's universally townread in very game). Then it would be time to talk about her. I'd be interested to hear a bit more from damdy about the his thoughts on what happened with BM and the nature of his Policy Shot. Although I appreciate stopping BM dominating the D1 discussion, what happened to the follow-up on LS and Xat? It's not the strangest thing you voted me (given that you didn't like the fact that I hesitated for like 30 seconds in thread to save Marv), but it *is* strange that you completely fell off on those reads. Maybe they just fell to the back of your mind, but I'ld like to hear what you have to say about them now, Damdred. KSC, I'd like to talk to you about the evolution of your reads on Rsoultin. Early on, you chat with her a bit, then you express some skepticism about her play early on http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=24234567 and wonder why people are so quick to (link) call her town. In your consolidated reads post (link) you judge a lot of people on their interactions with her then say she gives you brain cancer. you then adds Rsoultin to your "town cricle and Trfel, to his enormous credit, calls your out on it. KSC, your response is (link): which does not actually jive with n0, unless by standout you mean "person who made lots of posts.". The fact that she made lots of posts isn't new information at this point, so I'm wondering if you could elaborate a little on your thought process back there, or was it just you decided that peopel who posted extensively N0 were town, and hadn't thought of that until later on? Your followup is to point out some posts by rso (link) then say (link) that her reasons for calling mafia are bad becasue she called people town. Now here's the thing, I think rsoultin's reason for her 180 on Xata, which is, and I quote, is probably one of the least convincing cases I've ever read. In fact, you definitely read this cause you bolded the text next to it. rsoultin then tells you about this reason, and your rsponse is: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=24246204 Rsoultin calls you out on it and phrases the read more forcefully (if she did this before then I could see it be a little more convicning and you have this interaction (link) in which rsoultin basically calls you bad and your response is to apologise and make excuses, and remember, this is after you say rsoultin's like, in your town circle or whatever, then you say this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=24246281 and then this: So now I'm confused. Are you null/confusedreading rsoultin, and don't know why people were townreading her (as earlier)? are you townreading her as part of your town circle? or are you scumreading her? or do you not want to lycnh her? Obviously there's a progression here, but I'm very very confused about what you are thinking near the end here. You then call Vivax's read on rso confusing (link) or confused, then vote Xat. Eventually, you end up here: I personally think there's quite a lot fish about RS (with the unusual amount of emotes, the super dense and difficult to read posts, and the "joking" vendetta that became serious during D1). I'd like to hear more about RS from you, KSC. IT seems like you're confused about your read WRT EoD stuff, but I'd also like to hear about what you were thinking as time went by during N0/D1 as well, when you have the chance. sure I can talk about that. N0 I didn't understand the town reads she got because of her style and it felt like she wasn't committing to any reads so she was hard to evaluate for me. when we got into day phase I wanted to evaluate her. I read what she had put down and i thought going through it that she was making reads it just took a bit of time to fish them out so I had her as town. I also based it on other people calling her town and at the time it was just how I felt about her. She was indeed a standout in my mind from the N0 because she had made a significant contribution in terms of posts. as for the interaction about her xatalos read, I think the 180 she did was absolutely terrible but sarcasm doesn't really come across well over the internet. the "i'm sorry" was a sarcastic response , basically continuing to state that her read switch was terrible. I made it clear with my follow up that I hadn't dropped any reads but that arguing that particular point wasn't going anywhere because she would just insult me or my reading and she is rather unpleasant to talk to. Maybe I could have committed more to that exchange but it was late , i'd been drinking , didn't really feel like carrying on. to clear up confusion at that point I was scum reading her but I was also aware I was drunk and didn't feel like pushing it along. I did say "i haven't dropped any reads" I still have a scum read of rs at this point but I haven't really read into what she did EOD, I need to see if her actions were motivated, as you pointed out, by a pathetic personal vendetta, or if she truly thought you were scum and had a good case. as for ending up on xatalos, he was my strongest scumread at the EOD , I made a case on him and pushed him for a long time. around EOD it was clear that no one wanted xatalos anymore and with the choice being you or vivax I decided that I thought you were town, i liked the post trefl and HTS made on vivax and other people on my town list had also voted him. I didn't want to waste my vote. hopefully that clears things up | ||

HtS Damdred Sandro GB Palmar (though I would like an explanation for what he was doing EoD and where his head is right now) Trfel I don't think I need to offer additional explanation for this. BH posting during the night and his question to me about the progression of my read felt town and so I maintain my town read on him rsoul I had a slight scum lean on her but her posting during this night phase has been strong, the "walls" have been well thought out and some of her points raised about marv and BH, it's like she believes them. I'm going to say null for now and we see what happens d2. marv - had a town read but I have seen good points raised against him by I think HtS and rsoul , "i was baked" seems like a poor reason to lynch vivax but it would require BH being mafia for marv to be mafia . staying with a town lean but I have lost a bit of faith. VE - started tone town, didn't vote . null Stutters - didn't vote, didn't do anything, scum other people I would lynch Xatalos - Earlier points still stand and the lynch on him got dissolved into a vivax vs BH who I believe are both town, well we know vivax is town. TD - I think HtS raised points about how his ending up on vivax was inconsistent, I had a scum read on him before that so this is another good place to look. Other scum reads I haven't really had a chance to give a detailed case against them but I don't like JAT - I admit I haven't had the chance to reread his EOD Oats - play was very underwhelming around the night kills and although I liked a point he brought up about Xatalos I felt his sniping at me was very opportunistic he twice said "I don't like that he explained his reason for voting vivax" I'm giving town more information , I think silently switching is much worse. Everyone else I have as null and if necessary I will figure out during d2. | ||

I wasn't even scumreading you (Sandroba was) the first time you asked this and you seemed worried I was going to push your lynch.

Kelsier I had some questions to TD - what do you think of TD's answers? It's a few posts after my post on Stutters. As an aside, I'm getting more irritated with LS's posting. He's not coherent but that's not my problem with him. He's not particularly being helpful either even with the use of meta. I know he throws meta links and he's been criticised for that before as town, but the one distinct thing I'm noticing as this thread grows is that LS will post mainly after he's called out. I've noticed that 2-3 times. From what I'm reading, he's sheeping his town reads, but I am having difficulty discerning from a scum who is sheeping a wrong read. Tone wise, I townread him in his scumgames, so I am ignoring that. The main scum tell for him is not posting as much. LS, do you have any stances on anyone new besides those you have mentioned? Not really a fan of his answers, if he thought BH was town or something then staying on vivax might have made sense. But his "mafia" read of vivax is something palmar said and joking about lack of sexiness, in his filter there isn't a lot about vivax at all. compared to the read he gave about BH being scum which felt a lot more serious it is surprising that he voted on what seemed like a joke read. I didn't like his response | ||

It was something I was thinking at the time and reaffirms my townread on GlowingBear. It's less about how Blazinghand is using his role than it is about Blazinghand's approach to the game that's telling to me. I can imagine scenarios where Blazinghand instantly negates the nuke on Trfel (empathy/sympathy/whatever) and I can imagine scenarios where Blazinghand tries to engage Palmer regarding shooting down the marvellosity Nuke (trying to get separate reads on a player who can be difficult to read). However, it's the contrasting approach which is quite interesting and relevant. Blazinghand while relatively insane is not stupid; he has far more to gain (as town) from interacting with Trfel to get a read on him. Trfel as I recall had a handful of posts at the time and, while I and many if I recall were soft townreading him, I don't think there's any strong definitive read to be made at that point. Rather, when the marvellosity (who was obviously town at that point) nuke is confirmed seeks approval. Blazinghand is the type of player who will literally march to the beat of his own drum to his own detriment. So the fact that he's seeking approval for doing something that's quite obviously townie is exceptionally out of character. The closest thing to being semi-productive that Blazinghand has done this game is this post: Normally, BH would have some crazy insane convoluted plan to find scum. He usually uses RNG to decide the day 1 lynch (more often as town than as mafia in my experience). Yet this game the closest thing to insane that he's done is the Trfel anti-nuke. His play is out of character even for him. Yes, the action usage is marginally useless, but the reasons (or more appropriately lack of reasons) behind his actions point towards him not being town. The read he makes on BH is a lot more thought out and serious. He even makes this comment how he thought that BH was the better lynch. On May 13 2015 08:56 TalkingDead wrote: I'm not. I preferred the Blazinghand lynch. They're both good for entirely different reasons. Blazinghand is definitely more fun to lynch though. he thought BH was the better lynch but decides to stick where he is and lynch vivax? despite his BH read being a lot more serious. To me it feels like he knew both people were town and didn't care who get lynched, but he didn't want to get heat for switching. The fact he "voted on vivax , which would be suicidal if both are town" is totally irrelevant because he voted on vivax way before EOD and didn't move, he had no idea that this wagon would even be formed. After the lynch has happened he returns to his original target with another long, serious read on BH, who he decided to lynch vivax over.

More importantly, I want to address Blazinghand's recent scumclaim here. Blazinghand is an experienced player. This is the most absolutely passive way I've ever seen BH talk about someone as scum. Blazinghand as a player and as a person is exceptionally cocky. Not confident, cocky. He is not unknown for screaming that someone's scum. He will out-talk, speak over other players, bully players, wiggle and litigate arguments, etc. just to get his point across. Blazinghand as town in no fucking way is he ever passive. Occaisionally, he will not play as town or not play as scum. But he's not a player to beat around the bush. As town, he's not going to mince his words. As town, BH will flat out call people scum; scream it from the heavens repeating and readjusting his argument just to convince people to vote with him. THIS IS NOT TOWN BH!!!! Town BH doesn't loosely be willing to agree to talk about how BH thinks a person is scum. Second... Town!BH does not intentially try to out people during the night phase. Generally, outing blues in the night phase is pretty terrible play and BH has scolded people before for doing so. However, this type of play is one that's often seen on video mafia. There are a few potential options that BH is trying to do here: 1. BH is traitor and is trying to get mafia to consider an NK for blue snipe on Batsnacks 2. BH is mafia and is trying to setup a blue claim for his partner Batsnacks 3. BH is town and is trying to get mafia to kill lynchbait Batsnacks Here's the thing though, BH scolded GlowingBear here for not knowing about no N0 NKs. He knows that roles didn't go out until the end of N0. So BH is in part trying to establish a blue argument on a player based on the 13th post in the game. BH is clearly not trying or thinking critically here because that argument is the dumbfuckfest central. Then he goes on to point out the Batsnacks soft claim. As town, why would BH ever point this out during the night phase? Maybe it's Batsnacks trying to take a bullet. Maybe it's actually a soft. I don't know. But there's literally no point for BH to direct the soft to the thread's attention as town. The potential loss is almost always greater than the potential gain. BH is a player who is will to take risks as any alignment, but this one is that I don't think I've ever seen him take before as town while at least once arguing against such play. So it's pretty easy to eliminate option 3. I don't care if it's 1 or 2, either way he's not town for it. Marv made an exceptionally sexy post about BH that I want to highlight. When I was looking at BH before and after the lynch, there was at least one exceptionally interesting thing about him. BH deflects from pressure. I don't mean that he pushes it on to other people. Rather, he takes the weakest point of anyone's argument and straw mans the argument so that he looks better. Instead of ever engaging or responding to good arguments (like the one I made that yamato responds to or the extended case the Marv wrote), never once does he address them. In the early case, he engages GlowingBear's weaker argument, never responds to mine and allows thread sentiment to just shift into BillMurray in the silence. In the case of Marv's argument, he interacts with everyone else around Marv's argument. He gets into a shitflinging fest with yamato. He explains how he'll be at dinner for 23 straight hours. He never actually bothers to respond to the main points because it lends credence to the points themselves. While this avoidance is reasonable to good play to avoid being lynched, it is rather telling that BH has continued to play this way. Building upon a point Marv had made earlier, BH clearly isn't thinking or reading critically in any sense. He tried to point out Batsnacks for being blue based on a post that batty wrote after alignments were handed out but before roles were. I ask you, do you really think that Blazinghand is the type of person or player to not think while he's playing? Does he have a tendency as town to show a pattern of not critically thinking about the game in any realistic sense? Do you not want to lynch the ever living fuck out of him? Then we look what happened around the execute business and he comes up with this.

BH I'm thinking might be town. Mostly because of the sheeping Palmer thing. However I think the best reasons not to shoot either of them is that both give significantly more information if you lynch them (or try to lynch them). Right now I'm looking into other people. It seems absolutely insane that BH is town now given that this is the person that TD has pushed the most and given case on. Note that he disclaims it saying they can get more information if you lynch him instead. He says he is looking into "other people" , who? scum motivation of not wanting BH to get shot here is that it does make him look bad when it is revealed BH is town , or RoL is town maybe and when he is shot they think they can lynch BH. I don't know but there is no logic behind his play. So that is what TD has so far, the final interesting point around palmar. Palmar hasn't actually read TD at all, just said he was smart for questioning sandro..who is town. In fact if you look at the sandro thing it is mostly being pushed on , in two different time spaces by TD and Palmar, when they realise he is displaying clear town they back off and just kill him in the night. | ||

At least he still had a fair chance of being scum and we now know that the lynch yesterday was between 2 town in the end. KSC: I think that case is a bit WIFOMy, especially that part about BH getting shot. What do you mean with "generally obstructive" and how does that make him scum? How does wanting BH to be a lynch candidate instead of being shot contradict the possibility that he might be town? The way I see it, he just meant that having a wagon on him would be informative no matter his alignment. I'm still thinking we should probably lynch LS today and wait a bit more on Onegu. I've agreed heavily with his posts about LS so that's the main reason. I clearly said you should read through his filter and interactions he had and then make up your mind on him being obstructive. it's anti town making him scum. The point about BH is that he was the top scum read of TD for the entire d1 and n1 , it is the most serious case he makes but now he doesn't want him to get shot and is callinhg him town.. but he wants him to get lynched, it is inconsistent and looks like he wants to keep options open to , maybe, kill a town with the shot maybe and also have a town as a lynch option.

I really do hope there is a coroner around this game. My take on Onegu: Argument between him and rsoultin - based on tone as I said before D1, I was seeing both town and scum tendencies in him. I was very torn that he's going after Rasputin, although basd on meta a key thing that made Rasputin scum was her tendency to hesitate for a post or two when people scumread her. She has adapted her scumgame well, but this game given the reasoning she's had particularly her long novel on n1, really makes me believe she's town. Yeh the formatting of her posts has hurt my head sometimes, but her reads are pretty clear even if she doesn't use the exact language to scumread someone (ie this person is scum). The key argument against Onegu regarding the case on Rasputin - to put it in one sentence - is that he's using ONE scumtell on her (instead of multiple that there are, and that he IS aware of, per our experience in NSM7) and a key scumtell I haven't seen is her hesitation for 1-2 posts before she responds if she is scumread. It's hard to articulate, but I haven't seen it here, and he's ignored that particular tell. Separate from this argument, he's been pushing LS, who I also don't like this game at all either (but that's a separate issue) though I see he's claiming a blue role as well. I'd say my biggest issue with Onegu is that he's really sparse with the scumreads. There are 4 scum remaining so if LS is blue, who is he scumreading now? Basically your lynch isn't a bad one at this point. I would add in that after seeing BH and vivax be town he has made an effort not to be on either wagon, it was painfully obvious rs was never going to be the lynch. I'd be down for an onegu lynch, HTS what do you think of obi right now? have you gone through his filter? | ||

Just because you read Marv as town doesn't mean you should just up and sheep him whenever he shows up ITT. He said he was stoned and he basically switched off of BH for no reason. Why do people think this guy is town? He just name dropped more than a third of the game without any real sense of direction or context and just made almost all of them seem suspicious. It's an incredibly unfocused post and reeks of mafia casting doubt. - then i remembered this awful post so that is why I didn't like him, I saw he was in the thread with his "kill jat" but he wasn't really posting or contributing in a meaningful way that I could see, I thought i'd call him mafia to see his response, His response disappointed me, he instantly popped up so he was in the thread and rather than contributing just wants to know why he is mafia, ok that is understandable, but him now voting me and calling me mafia just seems like a huge overreaction. Again he isn't interested in truly scum hunting just hugely overreacting to someone calling him mafia. Think i might be right on this one. | ||

The fact that my posts are small or one-liners is completely irrelevant. Why are my quick townreads suspicious? Why is my calling people suspicious suspicious in and of itself? Where am I not contributing in my posts? Your case is basically just a bunch of contradictions and buzzwords. I don't think there is value in debating with YOU over whether or not your posts are scummy, I gave reasons to the thread why I didn't like your posting and your contribution or lack of contribution to the game. This led me to ping you out I then think your reaction to me calling you out was terrible. Again you are being overly defensive here. It is up to others to consider the case laid out against you. -- so bat's role is VT and he is using pleb as a way to check if people are town or not? I don't know what to make of TD after this revelation I need to check it out | ||

On May 15 2015 06:24 Half the Sky wrote: 22/60 ....and I've just told you why your reasoning in of itself does not particularly make him mafia. I just gave an example of my own where he plays suboptimally as both alignments and him not taking your advice, my advice on things does not make him mafia. So you either need to build a stronger case, or find another candidate for scum. Focusing on 1-2 scum at a time isn't going to save you as you're the leading wagon nor am I buying that argument for you not continually scumhunting. The chances of you two double bussing as both mafia I'd say are low so if I had to pick a mafia from both of you, I'd say you over him. Given both of your respective gameplaying though I'd highly doubt it's town on town. Also fairly confident Xatalos was scum, so him pushing LS as an easy lynch was plausible (yeah unflipped association, yeah I know...). KSC, now that we know BH was flipped, go to the case that TD made on BH. Does anything strike you as potentially off? I am assuming you are more experienced playing with BH than I am. As for Obi...he always posts one-liners and he doesn't bleed town as either alignment to be fair. His WIFOM post can come as either alignment. Don't agree with his post on you, you just gave a purposes where to start looking post-lynch. It was a bad case, there were a lot of bad cases on BH though. It did look like he was reaching to paint BH as scummy. | ||

with regards to the whole mason thing I don't really understand what's happening can someone be so kind as to give who is in what mason chat and the order they were recruited because I am totally lost. If I ignore all that shit though I would lynch obi,onegu, RoL and oats. . Completely outside of the mason claims just how they have played seems scummy to me. I think it is odd that you would have two town aligned mason groups though. then again we seem to have like 18 kp or something so w/e. from TD i'd like to know the order he recruited and the reasons for doing so , if that has been provided I didn't see it in the filter. | ||

my read on oats I am not particularly confident in, it was mainly based on his sniping of me around EOD and his voting of me and rudeness. with obi I think he's mafia but some other people think he's town, I don't really feel confident on this. With onegu he hasn't offered anything memorable to the game and has a minimal contribution, I liked the case that HtS brought up against him and I think that the vote EOD looks poor for him as he was deliberately not on either of the two town wagons , like palmar. Another more long term reason is that it will give me more information about obi and the state of the game right now, if onegu is mafia it probably means we have hit more mafia due to his lack of resistance to the lynch and his apparent low morale. ##vote onegu | ||

Like she says she has been on him since Horn for his meta points he always brings up. That is in game. Me and rsoul had a very long conversation in Team Speak with him about this and why its bad and he shouldnt do it as town. HtS just says I am a ok or fine lynch. Second LS never mentions about my point about him. He just says he has never claimed as mafia, sidenote HtS just said this also. That makes no difference as this is a themed game and scum most likely got fake claims which make it much easier to fake claim. Also the role he claimed is really easy to fake claim. Its not like he is claiming dreamweaver or janitor. Like the best scum point on me has been I am lazy this game. I havent been lazy I just dont have many reads. Im also sad I rolled VT in a themed game... But anyway Im VT not Scum or traitor. After I flip you fools need to take a big look at LS because my read isnt wrong. Like as town when he gets tunneled he like rage quits which he hasnt done here. Second he still doesnt have any scum reads other than me. Which is the current easy mislynch. If the only reason you are town reading him is because of his claim. Get the fuck off of it. Its a terrible reason to town read him at this point. Also why are you against me for throwing my vote away. Its so meh. ##Vote LS On May 15 2015 03:34 KelsierSC wrote: I would add in that after seeing BH and vivax be town he has made an effort not to be on either wagon, it was painfully obvious rs was never going to be the lynch.

This was the points that HTS raised against you which I liked, I am really running out of posts and don't want to be modkilled. I'm sure people calling me scum must have more interesting questions than "why are you calling me mafia?" so if you want to actually ask me something then I will condense that into one post. | ||

The other big thing is that with so much unconcentrated town KP it means mafia has to be super active and reasonable to avoid most of it. In part, the issue was the scum team imploded. BM claimed scum on D1. Xata was lynch bait. Palmer was wholly ineffective and his push on Sandro was really out of place. JAT was mostly lynch bait before claiming scum. Marv played well. I would've rather seen far fewer roles because that would focus more on play, developing reads, pushing sentiment etc. I really don't get why Sandro or KSC thought I was mafia. Both in thread and QT I was really really townie imo. cos i'm pro as fuck | ||
