Not sure that breaks my tinfoil hat theory about Damdred killing Rit N1 but it was mostly just the ramblings of my brain while I did other stuff.
Finally about to dive into filters, but right now I'm tempted to vote whoever suggested we start re-evaluate everything today just for the amount of headache I've gotten because of it.

VE's first post into the game was a decent little PSA and then a push on Choco for his opening, this was prob what had me liking him early on though looking back it's pretty NAI.

As for kickstart's post, I also played some games in 2012/2013 I believe. I'll go back and see if I played with any of you people Aside from a vote, this is his only post in the game. Does "weirdly cheery" make ticktock mafia? Without context, this post just looks like he's trying to be seen in the thread, which is consistent with mafia trying to hide in plain sight. Why does a townie Chocolate even make this post? Further, in his vote post he wants tick to "1v1 me mate"....which if the lynch is boiled down to Chocolate/ticktock then I'm lynching Chocolate 100 times out of 100 based on what's in the thread right now....if he's town and wants ticktock to interact with him, then why does he disappear?

Okay so I was formatting and pressed the wrong button.... to save myself the embarassment... I'm just going to barebone the rest -_- ....
Even though I said I didn't like Kickstarter, I also, funny enough, don't like Ritoky. His playstyle is just something I'm willing to vote on irrelevant of alignment. If we lynch him and he flips mafia, I'll gladly take the credit. If he flips town, I gladly take the blame.
I have a town read on Milo, I liked his reaction to Damdred and I liked that he was pressuring Ritoky (or at least attempting to). I don't see what's scummy about him to Kickstarter. Everything he says seems genuine to me.
Also, I'm kind of glad I pressed post by accident because I'm not a very frequent poster (I usually just post big WoTs or at least plan to) and I was scared I wouldn't meet the 10 posts per 72 hours rule. Phew.... See you guys again in 9 hours since I just need to make 1 post per 9 hours to meet the quota for this cycle. PEACE The rest of your post is even more odd to me. For one you just aligned yourself with Milo, for seemingly no reason (and I will also point out that you specifically mentioned his reaction to Damdred which was exactly what milo used as a town read on Damred but which is something that didn't stick out at all to me). Right now I clearly see a milo, Nydus, Damdred connection here which I find really odd given that, in my opinion, nothing has happened for you three to align yourselves like this. To be fair, Damdred has said nothing to align himself with them Nydus but there is a slight connection there in that these 3 seem to be thinking alike and making the same points. @DamdredCan you give detailed thoughts on milo and Nydus strange posts? Also, while I'm posting this Damdred also defended milo, making the link between them 2 even stronger. Another thing about your post that I quoted Nydus is that I really don't like that you said you are willing to vote ritocky just because you don't like his posting. Scum are the ones who don't care who is lynched, and the fact that you state that you don't care if he is town and is lynched is not an opinion a towns person should have. HAHAHAHA loaded question much? Anyways, I didn't completely flesh out my Milo townread because I was kind of annoyed that I hit post before I even finished posting and when I was about to edit, I remembered it was against the rules. To me, I think he's defending himself decently against both you and Ritoky, and his vote on Ritoky didn't feel out of place. I saw it as a pressure vote and didn't see it as anything he was going to keep forever unless he continued to see Ritoky as scummy. When someone called him out for contradiction, he admitted to making the mistake pretty quickly and I don't think that it's scummy to be stuck making a logic error. If he tried to stick with the error and pretend that it was correct, then I would think he was scummy but he did the opposite. That makes sense I guess. I would still like you to explain why you stated you would be fine voting ritocky just because you don't like his posting. I find it scummy that you stated you don't care if ritocky is town or scum but that you would be happy having him gone either way, so I would still like you to expand on this... I actually got the opposite read off Nydus' comment about ritoky: I find it very unlikely that Nydus comes in and says something as controversial as "I would lynch ritoky regardless of his alignment" as mafia. I find it far more likely that he says somethign like that as town.
Next few posts are mostly chatty posts, offering some advice, countering some of the validity on the push on milo. Nothing very indicative of anything.
He gets pretty excited when Milo agrees with him, it's a bit weird almost like he's trying to make Milo feel good for agreeing.
This post looks like he is being reasonable with Choco and just wants him to live up to his promises...

I say that I've contributed at least one mafia read, and that's the person I want to lynch, and now I'm also willing to lynch you. I'd say that I've contributed more than at least 50% of the game so far. I also say that I don't give many reads as both town AND mafia, but I give FEWER as town. What do you say to that?
I doubt scum would invite someone to keep reading them as scum, but at the same time this whole post screams Egomaniac... Eh it seems pretty likely that Town would post something like this.
Eventually VE backs off of Milo since he realizes he had gotten the timeline of events a little off.
VE returns to Choco and continues his push on him, this time largely because he doesn't get where Choco is coming from on his reasons to thing VE is scum. He goes back to trying to rally people to join his vote.
We get our first real look at VE's reads near the end of D1 in a list style post.

That is another reason I townread VE early on, our reads lined up pretty well nearing EoD. VE keeps on Choco though and keeps pushing him for trying to make VE look like a bully.
VE starts to think GG might be scum and puts a vote on him, but gets swayed by GG's EoD posts to move back to Choco. He also disagrees to rit's ideas that GG or Choco are either both scum or both town.

It's kinda the opposite with Nydus, I didn't really expect Nydus to try and read me first considering we barely play together anymore and we haven't had many actual "post-game" interactions so-to-speak. But he read me relatively quickly (though he DID state reservation to reading me) and that kinda plays into my townread of him.

I concede that the most blatant example of this, his reads on Nydus and Ticktock shown here, was at the behest of another player. However, if you'll kindly turn your packets to page 2 of his filter, you'll see a similar behavior throughout, with no prompting. I've explained here my meta reasoning for thinking he's mafia based on behavior - I would have expected him to try and get a read on me early if he's town. He explained numerous times that he didn't find the interaction between Chocolate and myself to be alignment indicative. Yet today, he's trying to use THAT against me. He also does small nuanced things like trying to appeal to authority and appeal to emotions. Further, his push on Ticktock reads to me as an attempt to remain consistent with his reads yesterday. It's convenient that he had a (very justified *winkwink*) either/or read on Kickstart/Ticktock, and somehow by the grace of God (but conveniently not by Templar's hand) Kickstart the jailer got lynched yesterday, and today EVEN WHILE OMGUSING ME, he maintains that Ticktock is the likeliest shot at mafia. He's not reevaluating the game at all, he's trying to remain consistent while pushing a specific agenda. Everyone should vote for GGTemplar today. He is the most likely mafia at this point in the game, I would say even more so than Chocolate. The only thing that makes me doubt it is the fact that he wasn't voting EoD yesterday, but as far as I know he thought he was or something. On June 06 2015 17:15 VisceraEyes wrote:

Meta - Temp would read me early. "Couldn't", in spite of ritoky thinking I was pretty obviously town.
Behavior - Has over-justified his early reads imo, and has attempted to remain consistent with his previous reads rather than reevaluate the game. OMGUS on me reeks of desperation.
Doubts - He wasn't voting EoD, risking modkill.
My Bias/Hypocricy - I still think Chocolate is mafia, and Chocolate was the other wagon yesterday.
He is also clearly still on Choco even if he's decided to lynch GG.

Too afraid he'd piss someone off that might vote for him I guess.

Yea almost started doing what i have been doing for filters and try to go through the train of thought of the person. Thats stupid though since we know Shen is town so focusing on her reads.
Shen starts off scumreading Choco, Milo, Myself and Onegu. She stops pushing Onegu so hard as scum, but still doesn't like him since he hasn't done much of value. She also agrees to the logic around Milo'd actions EoD meaning he is very unlikely to be mafia. Drops me as a scumread based on my case on GG. Thus ends up focused on Choco.
Shen made a few good posts as to why Choco is likely scum this game. Also she keeps up the pressure on Onegu since he's only giving his rule as reasoning for his scumreads.

I am generally of the opinion that town reads aren't of much use D1, but I was pressured to name some earlier and I named yourself and VE, for basically the same reasons. I felt that you were both applying pressure when needed, you were both driving discussion, and both were being open and honest with your thoughts - all of which I think is helpful and thus I feel that you have been helpful for town up to this point. Does that mean I think you are both 100% town? No, but I feel confident in saying that I would not vote on either of you this cycle. To be honest the only other person I feel is slightly town atm is Nydus, but definitely not on the same level as you two. I have real issues with almost everyone else who I havent mentioned because I just feel their posts are void of strong feelings and I don't like that style of play. Namely I feel like Damdred, scott, Onegu, and Fideu (just off the top of my head) are not giving us anything to work with, their posts are void of reads and strong opinions, and while Damdred has asked a lot of questions and put a bit of pressure on at times, he is still guilty of not giving us his thoughts (though he said this is how he plays and that he will wait to make a stronger case when he is ready - which I intend to hold him too, if Day 1 ends and he is still guilty of what I outlined above I will have some real questions about him because he has been active enough and seems experiences and good enough to give some solid reads but has yet to do so). I think scott and fideu are new so I can understand the reluctance to stick their necks out on anything but I don't feel that is a real excuse, they still need to share their thoughts on things. Onegu seems to have arrived late on the scene but already his posting style is suspicious to me, much too much joking around; while this is normal and understandable at the start of the game, I feel like there is plenty of content to actually address, which he has not done. Can anyone tell me if this is normal posting from Onegu?"
verbal diarrhea which confused me, probably others
"id mention my issues with chocolate before and it seems he is getting a lot of heat atm, will see that happens there."
"well I'd like to bandwagon but I don't want to be held accountable for it" I don't know how answering questions can be considered appeasement. This sounds like Chocolate is trying to frame KS in a no-win situation. If he answers questions, it's appeasement. If he doesn't answer questions, he's evasive. If he gives a middle of the road answer, he's scum for giving a middle of the road answer. Are you fucking kidding me? No idea how the fuck those two responses to Milo are evasion. It makes perfect sense - I'm doing the same thing to Templar right now actually - to ask who else other than themselves are scum or asking that question if they only have one scumread they've been focusing on a lot of the game. There are three mafia in this game. That is a perfectly valid thing to do. If KS was evading questions, that's one thing but that point wasn't demonstrated in that case. Verbal diarrhea he says the last point on KS. That's tone at best and to me that's a cop out for him not wanting to really evalute KS before wanting to lynch him. That is a mafia based case coming out of Chocolate. That is just fucking horrible. When all he had to do was just vote him to survive, he gives THAT explanation? He frames him in a no-win spot in his case and the rest of his points are a steaming pile of shit. On June 07 2015 13:59 Shendelzare wrote:Show nested quote +On June 05 2015 05:27 Chocolate wrote:
KS, if you would look back, you would see I posted only a few minutes after you, I had not yet seen what you wrote
ok let me try to generally address the points against me
1. the scott vote
he wasn't posting, had a general town read and nothing else at the moment, very easy way for scum to play it safe, I don't feel he is scum at all at the moment since he has posted a lot more since then
2. going scott over VE
uhhh it was pretty far before the end of the day and it was a case of pros and cons vs. only cons at the moment
3. I seen scummy because I've been defending all game
It's a cycle. If I don't defend myself, I get called dodgy scum. If I defend myself, I seem to be scrambling. In either case I have to spend a lot of my time and posts defending myself which continues to call attention to myself possibly being scum
4. switching votes a lot
tictock vote meant next to nothing, scott vote was imo logical at the time it was made, VE vote was slightly OMGUSing, onegu vote I continue to stand by but if you guys want to interpet meta to the detriment of town I can't stop you, KS I don't want to die, he seems scummy (and for my next post I'll try to be more formal why), and bandwagoned me
if there's anything else scummy you want to bring up about me then shoot Here's another really terrible post by Chocolate. #3 - yes you are scummy if all you do is defend. It's an issue of not whether you defend. It's an issue of you not to advance town agenda if all you do is defend. #4 Switching votes a lot. I think the problem here is not switching votes but reasoning behind them. I've already pointed out WHY the KS vote/case was terrible, but the rest - well I don't know about the Scott switch but the Tic and VE vote reasoning does look pertty shallow. Onegu's play is shit all around, I understand that, but his reasoning for KS like I said before is a steaming pile of shit.
This post stands out to me, but I'm not really sure what's catching my eye about it. Prob just kus I'm a little suspect of Damdred still, but his couple of vote analysis posts have me leaning town on him.

I looked at the database link ritoky showed me.
Damdred has a decent track record as scum. Particularly a good survivor the later the game goes.
Scott mentioned some "why am I alive" rule. I wonder why it does not seem to apply to him.
This was a good summary post Shen made as to why she thinks Choco is a good lynch.
I should also point out that Shen kept pushing on Milo despite hid EoD move. She didn't seem to buy that it made him confirmed town. If she were still alive I'd prob give her towncred for doing that when nobody else was really willing to, even if it came up again today.
Shen made a few other nice posts and pointed out some odd things a few other players had made but overall I think her last post of the game makes it pretty clear where her head was at.

I've been reading the filters of both VE and TT from d1. I'm on a phone so it would be hell on earth for me to do a shitton of quoting so here it goes:
Both call each other town pretty early on
Both push votes on townies (though of course I am not confirmed townie)
As soon as I park a very early vote on TT, VE scum reads me
I'm pretty sure all of TTs d1 list (GG, me, milo, SL) is town and gives him flexibility to bandwagon as he pleases
Additionally, although his posts regarding me are all cautious (need to read more, you are all three probably town) he puts me second on his list
I'll read n1 and d2 soon too but again I'm on my phone so it takes me a while to structure a post adequately
Still not sure who third scum is, at this point I'm finding damdred unlikely I swear every post I read from you at this point screams mafia and it reminds me of that horrible case you had on KS day one. I would have hammered you if I was in play then because of the way you are framing your points. What is making either Tic/VE scum reads for their reads on each other? Like I said pushing votes on townies alone does not make some scum it's how they do it. Also the point about the D1 list is questionable when you don't consider how he prioritized or supported his reads, and having four scum reads means he's wrong on at least one so how he changes those reads should be more important at this stage. I had four scum reads when I gave my first list post so I knew I was wrong somewhere and I knew I had to re-evaluate. He is doing that FYI and so are a few others. I also find it interesting you find Damdred unlikely since at least one other player cites him for being cautious and you're calling Tic cautious so considering at least half this field is scum reading you (and if you haven't figured out already you are my top target) you might want to start pointing out some differences in where you're coming from once you're on a computer otherwise you're going to be held accountable for double standards in your reads.
From all this I think it's pretty clear Shen would still be pushing for Choco as today's lynch which I still fully agree with, despite all the re-reading and re-evaluating I've done today.
Unless someone can bring up a solid case on anyone else I'm leaving my vote on Choco.
I'm kinda over reading filters at this point since I keep coming back to the same place and it's a decent bit of work. I think Scott is the only one I'll have skipped and I'm like 80% certain he is town so I'm fine with that right now.

Hey Damdred and NHM. You've both said before quite a few times that you thought TT was Mafia. If you both, along with Chocolate, me and milo vote for him, he's done. I've given the reasons before why I think Chocolate is town and is definitely the wrong lynch today. If you look back over the fall out from EOD 1 then you'll see ritoky was also convinced (or thought GGT and Choco were scum together, which they obviously weren't. Neither of you have, as far as I can see, rescinded your scum reads on him (well, my re-read of the thread is only at page 47, so maybe you do later, but I don't think so).
What do you say?

BTW I want to call it here and now, I think the mafia team is Ticktock, Scott and VE.
One thing really struck me about the GGT wagon - it was basically entirely started by VE, but only after GGT had raised utter hell about Ticktock already. And that was on top of VE having previously had a mortal lock scum read on Chocolate. There was literally no reason not to continue to push for the Chocolate lynch, especially because plenty of other townies were crowing for him to be lynched as well (indeed, Shen continued to advocate it for a while). I don't see why VE would move off one of his "confirmed mafia" onto another, particularly as GGT was literally tunnel-visioned on Ticktock. I see no reason why a townie VE ships his vote from Chocolate to GGT, except to try and "bury" the Ticktock train that might have started to form.
I'm very happy to be talked down from this, but that's how I see things.

Gunna do some reading in Shen's filter just to see what her thinking was and then I think Scott is the last filter I still need to read. Starting to loose some steam myself so will do more summary and not as many quotes, maybe...
So I have been watching Netflix over reading filters I'll get round to it

I think you could plausibly swap out scott for Onegu in my theory, since Onegu has essentially contributed nothing to this game and has, in my view, thrown it to the mafia. I don't think he's mafia, but there's literally no point trying to give him a sensible read, because he hasn't contributed enough to make any such read worthwhile.

Uhhh but I think tick is town? I've said that for like 72 hours so far. While I can be wrong he's putting the most work in so id rather not vote him

Anyway I have a bit more to talk about but I have something to do at a bakery for anniversary stuff so won't be here till later

How about because I thought GGTemplar was more likely mafia based on what was happening in the thread? Like...how is that not the FIRST option that you consider if you looked at my posting from that time at all?
|
Like if you want to bury me for voting for GGTemplar be my guest - he was town and I was wrong. But don't call me mafia for starting to reevaluate Chocolate during that time period. That's a townie thing to do and I won't have it.
|
You didn't / haven't re-evaluated Chocolate, though. Or did I miss it?
|
So Tictock makes some good points on VE, and makes a lot of sense there in his filter dive.
Fidei still thinks me and Tictock are scum
I'm done with Onegu's excuses
Chocolate sees me vote VE - votes VE - doesn't do anything else
But I'll be back at least an hour before deadline to check on anything else that changed.
Leave me any questions you would like.
|
If you guys really can't bring yourselves to lynch Damdred, I will vote on either VE or Ticktock. They are better lynches than Chocolate.
|
Just a heads up, I won't be fully around for EOD, but I will have access on my phone. So no big WOTs from me, but I can respond to points briefly.

This is terrible and you are likely scum for it. We are lylo-1 and you want to lynch a town read of yours?
