On the topic of votes, NHM and Onegu were solo voters - did those two push their votes in any way or scumread either of the wagons at any point? Doesn't look like Onegu was around for end of day.

Still on page 23.

I'm back. Had to go to bed when I replaced in. Still on page 35.

As of that point Chocolate didn't look so great, his post on page 23 made it sound like he was trying to scumread people for reasons that didn't necessarily make them scum. Not sure if some of his reads are horribly contrived.

Reading his posts, Milo just seems like panicked scum between his initial reactions and his post-lynch reactions, but I'm sure as I continue to read I'm sure I'll have questions answered as to why people moved off him latter D1.

I can't blame anyone for policy lynching me. sicklucker really didn't do shit and I'd scum his slot if I wasn't in it. But as town, I will do what I can to get some informative reads out there before you all decide to lynch me.

Only other thing that comes to mind is the way Tictock scumread Damdred before I went to bed.

Tictock called Damdred (if I recall right) for "starting a wagon" on his target, but I don't know why he wouldn't consider the fact that he's starting a wagon to gather information or because he legit scums someone. Those I think are town reasons to start a wagon. I am assuming he's experienced enough to know this. That's something that jumped out at me. Not sure if he's trying to put it out there just to look good.

I'm sure I'll have more complete thoughts when I'm fully caught up but those are things that jumped out to me for now.

Onegu and NHM as I said before were solo votes. Onegu being pushed as a possible scum target, and if he's lurking, this mean he probably didn't really push the case or at least people don't remember him as doing so. He says he did though.

But if he didn't that probably a scum tell.

Onegu claimed VT from looking at his filter.

Does he do this as one alignment more than another? Anyone know?

I don't understand the motivation as either alignment to do that.

Alright, took more looking at Onegu's filter. Is he trolling or just posting just to post?

Chocolate and Milo being on the same team? really?

Calling Fidei as either blue or scum - why? And why out another blue as town? That really makes no sense when I see no other reason to scumread Fidei from his point of view?

He scumreads VE early on but votes Damdred? That is a jump in logic to me.

Onegu is probably scum.

Moving on to other people...

Response to case:

1) Scum can not care about the lynch generally if people are on town. Scum can decide to just not care about be around for the lynch if its going there way that day. KS was very active at all points of the game before final day leading up to the lynch.

2) The points against KS aren't that bad and are pretty solid, you even call them not horrible. You just disagreed with them. That doesn't make them bad.

3) Nobody has ever explained why i'm middle of the road, I have distinct town reads and distinct scum reads. Just don't get the point and it doesn't make me scum, if I wasn't taking hard stances on people I could see thep oint but I have.

4) scum reading people while they aren't in the thread isn't alignment indicative O_o, if you keep things until someones here you won't get a lot of work done in 24 hours. By comparison I could say that you are guilty of the same thing when its clear that I am not in the thread why would you do such a thing.

I was wrong, kick played his claim badly and got killed. That doesn't make me scum, what you are saying though is that one of the most vocal players in the thread, who took one of the most drastic stances in the game and pushed a lynch until it happens is scum. None of this makes me scum and in fact its not a very strong case that generally follows a narrative with you fitting in this stuff to try to make me look scummy


So my initial reaction here, is to say something about Damdred returning to his "middle of the road" style here. However... that is not the response I would have expected from a Scum!Damdred to my case. I was pretty sure he'd be pushing me super hard with GG. + Show Spoiler +
who is like kinda following the game? I'm not sure what to make of GG... I'll get back to him later.


1 is actually a good point, but is only valid if we assume that there was no wagons on scum. It's possible, but I'm wary of that since Choco was the lynch prior to Kick and the Kick wagon started just in time to give Choco a safe place to go. It's super WIFOM but a team of Dam, GG, Choco could make sense given how things went down, but yea.. wifom.

On Points 2 and 3 I just disagree? It sounds lame, but I def did not find your case on Kick super solid. There were decent points, but I def think you were mostly playing off his wall-o-text writing style. I've tried to explain why I find your style suspicious. I also feel uneasy with this style of play right now given how you and ritoky seem to have a "thing" going on. I'm not saying you two are a team here, I dont see anything to suggest that, just that you two seem to have a history and that might have allowed you to push your way of thinking on him, similarly to how townreading people kinda gives them a sense you are their friend. Am I making sense here? I might be overthinking it, but it's def something that has me looking hard at Dam right now.

4, Granted you did call me out when you thought I was acting pretty scummy right away. I prob shouldn't have glanced at thread as I was getting ready to leave then let myself respond all pissed off kus it really looked like you were doing a similar push on afk me like happened with Kick.

I will admit a few things. My initial post after EoD was definitely placing blame, I didn't really intend it that way + Show Spoiler +
That was really just my honest "OMG I can't believe that just happened" reaction post
, but it def reads that way. I had spent most of the time we were waiting for Night post relooking at the last page or two, and I started to wonder if Kick had anything to backup his accusations towards Dam & Choco. It is likely I got caught up in overreading Kicks posts and joining into his OMGUS thinking towards Dam. I think the idea has some merit, especially after looking through some filters, but I really haven't seen anything solid to back it up which makes me believe it may well have just been OMGUS thinking.

I'm not willing to clear him as scum, but his response is what I would expect from Town who thought they had solid reasons to push that wagon. There is definitely nothing clear cut about how EoD went down, and the timing of stuff felt so weird to me. I think it deserves at least one last look over, but since my urge to chase Dam with Fire right now could well be the beginnings of a tunnel I'm going to hold off till we have a little more info in Day phase.

@Dam
I'm not a huge fan of meta reads, but if you share some of your past games (maybe one as either alignment) it may help me understand your style a little better. I know my first experience with SL had me scumming him so hard just kus of how he plays, I might be in a similar trap here.


English isn't my first language - so I'll just say that I understand this middle of the road thing means he's not taking a position. If I'm wrong someone correct me.

His case on Kick means he had a read on him it was wrong but he still had a read on him. He took some position. If he was apprehensive on taking a position he wouldn't have had a case on him. I mean you disagree with his case great, but you can't scumread him for being middle of the road. I mean I'm just reading your post and you make it clear he's taking a position. So I don't get that at all.

Are you trying to force a read on Damdred? I mean if Damdred is scum it's not for what you are saying.

The whole ritoky/Damdred association makes no sense. Those two from their postcount seem like they have been around.

Just because they are experienced I mean that would put one person in a better position to read another one way, not sure why meta reads make you more suspicious of someone. I don't see how you are seeing that negatively or positively.

I mean if there is a meta read being messed about - there's only 3 scum out of 12 people left, I would assume someone else here will call them out at some point? Fudging meta reads should be a deterrent if there's enough experienced people around. At least I think that's a safe assumption to make.

I don't understand some of the potential associative reads being made, this is one of them.

I can understand why meta reads you might be hesistant to trust. But how they use those reads to push or figure out the game with more evidence, I think is more critical.

If I'm not misunderstanding anything I think tictock is trying to force a read on Damdred. Which I think shows scum behaviour.

Like I think Onegu looks bad for scumreading Viscera early on, not doing anything with it and then randoming throwing a vote on Damdred. If Damdred isn't doing anything with his reads then it's a problem. So I'm just confused at best on your position on him.

Although if you could explain why I'm wrong that would be helpful.

And I'm back.

No. Or at least not get carried away. I mean ritoky was pretty obvious town, you don't know if it's because he knew someone or just his gameplay he could probably figure out anyone. Whether he was on the right track, who knows.

Nightkill discussion is generally circular logic although maybe in later part of the game you can try and narrow it down I think.

The other thing is some people can get picked if somehow mafia reads them as blue (not sure how but apparently it happens) or if they try to avoid hitting the same person as a medic.

The medic-like role already died in this game so they probably didn't have that fear.

To give you some perspective, I come from video mafia (1+ year of it) and I've only ever played 1 other game of forum mafia. In video mafia, people tend not to push as hard on people unless they have some sort of meta read that makes someone almost confirmed mafia in their minds. Usually, people just chip in and give their thoughts on the game and don't really flesh out reads too hard unless asked to. Apparently, it feels like I've fallen into that hole and I'll try harder to get out of it.

With respect to the scum team, I didn't actually propose a "team" persay. I proposed people who I currently view as scummy and would be fine lynching. I don't believe in early associative reads until a mafia flips because it doesn't help to try to find an exact team of 3 unless we find out someone who is mafia. That's a weak thing to push on and you should know better than to call me fake for that -_-


So what is the "equivalent" of pushing in video mafia? As I stated before I have never played video mafia so I'm not familiar with the techniques that town uses to take out mafia. I read a few other games here and I think it was mentioned by one other vid mafia person that flips don't reveal alignment? Or some strange shit?

But I digress. Anyhow, I mean, if you suspect a new player's body language (I'm guessing) in video mafia how do you convince others that they are mafia? That's what I don't understand. You have to have some stake in wanting to take someone you feel is mafia out.

Because if you're not pushing here I'd be scumreading you as well just like I did Onegu. But your lack of experience can't make you unreadable. So if you play the game in a different way, how should we be reading you?

Alright, first look at Templar. I look at filters from a few people from day 1...

First few posts aren't making a whole lot of sense. The gut read on sicklucker based on "morally" wanting to policy lynch Tictock, I don't know why that warrants a town read in any world.

Ok, I'll bite

##Vote ritoky


For spamming graphics and one liners. Not even trying to push people yet, such scum.


I also find the direction you chose to push here with as much haste as you did to be mafia-indicative trying to appear townie rather than actual town genuinely believing what he is saying.


Maybe I misunderstand, but I don't know what is there to "believe" about graphics and one-liners nor do I understand why town should believe what he's saying. I would think (at least in forum mafia) it should be the opposite. I would think town should approach things with skepticism. To me this looks pretty contrived.

I go through more of Templar's filter and his main two scumreads seem to be Tic and KS. He pushes KS for quite a bit, and then for some unclear reason after he rescinds a town read, he rescinds a scum read on KS before trying to get people on Tic. I can't tell in any sense what is making him read KS as town the second time around and if that's this Chezinu rule that makes even less sense to me because it sounds like such an arbitrary rule.

Who (or what) the fuck is Chezinu?

Templar doesn't have an opinion or seem to have an opinion on Chocolate and then says KS is town for whatever reason. Maybe double check when the votes on Chocolate fell but just looking at how the votes panned out his non-stance on Chocolate, even after he had the four votes could be him trying to avoid confrontation.

I just don't really like a lot of how he's posted and not taking a stance on Chocolate. I think he even said he wasn't interested in him. Or even discouraging people from voting a townread (and that townread got lynched) just makes him look scummy.

Post only quotations that support your conclusion and ignore ones that contradict it to bend the truth further.

I posted quotations that directly contradict your statement of "I townread KS yesterday". You can't say with any certainty that one of KS/TT is mafia without absolute information. You haven't explained ever WHY one of them has to be mafia. The only evidence you provide is "I don't think they both do it as mafia, and X is scummier, so Y is town". That's FAR from confirmed, it's not conclusive, it's not even based on any logic at all.


This is probably the main issue I have with Templar aside from his not taking stance on Chocolate when the latter was most controversial/commented on at that time. His response to what I last asked was that he gave clear reasons on why he townread KS and I would consider these anything but clear. I mean I would think townreading someone would be based on what someone did or did not do and not what someone else did or did not do.

Like they both can't be mafia you are saying Templar, but you'd taken back both scum and town reads on him before so I don't understand this elimination method you use for Tictock and you just sound a little too sure or a little too forced, I can't tell which it is.

To be fair, I have other reservations on him myself which I already posted, but considering you had two different reads early on from what I recall and Damdred comes in with a case that presents both town and mafia Tic, I'm surprised you didn't consider that or re-consider that before pushing Tic the way you are.

Also the fact that someone else is pointing this out indicates it's not clear anyhow or the logic doesn't make sense.

Onegu is not trolling, Onegu is wrecking entire scum team with Onegu rule. Ok Onegu theory.

I think at this point if you are actually town, I think you've smoked too much weed Onegu, or at least you're baked well more than I am given the way you've been posting reads all game.

I did not draw any conclusions on your alignment from the games I read of you. I only knew how messed up your posting was, I'm trying to read you logically from what I see of you this game, and if I'm wrong, you should probably tell me why I'm wrong.

I think Templar's reasons for scumreading you are different than mine were. So why aren't you taking that into account?

If someone says your rule is arbitrary how the fuck does that make them mafia?

Still want to see if NHM is actually going to post reads or if she is going to try and pull round two of video mafia.

VE is probably town. Damdred from his posting seems alright for now, a little wishy washy on some of the reads in his voting post, but at least he's justified why.

Chocolate looked bad to me the first 20-25 pages when I first started catching up. So he certainly deserves a revisit, though his not posting whilst we're all going at it I don't know. A better lynch than Templar, not sure at the moment.

No read yet on Scott/Fidei but I will try to get to them at some point tonight.

On my phone but since you asked Tic

Town - VE (posting), milo (EoD)
Lean town - Damdred

Not sure - Scott, Fidei

Scum lean - Tic, Chocolate (posting but could move after further review), NHM (need to see more)
Scum - Templar

There are only 3 scum so I know at least one scum read is wrong.

Also I'm putting Onegu in his own category - "high in the sky"

Basically he's using some arbitrary rule to justify his reads. He's scumming Templar so maybe he's not scum if Templar flips but looking at some games his game play isn't that great as either alignment.

Less for town for sure.

You don't make a town case, you make a mafia case. You show you are town by your thoughts and words. I'd almost call this a slip.

Your hearts beating a little faster now isn't it?


This is a slip how? I can see that both ways but I don't see how it's a scumslip.

Ok well if nobody is around to interact with I'll go ahead and finish up that case then.

#1 - GG has basically shown that he is simply not sure that he isn't sure about anyone but me, yet is willing to claim he's 99% sure about this game.
He makes this assertion here.

D1 he was sure that it was either myself or Kick that were Mafia. He hardly pushed Kick instead, flipped his read rather suddenly and kept focus on me. This was shortly before Kick becomes the EoD wagon and eventually gets lynched. To GG this now has me as "confirmed" scum.

This thinking is dangerous as town, and seems to clearly be scum motivated to me. As scum, this makes perfect sense as it suggests to town that they have a 50/50 chance one day with a confirmed scum lynch the next day. If scum can set this situation up and have it gain credence then it's a great way to get 2 ML's for one stubborn argument. Even if the end result is Scum!GG being lynched on the 3rd day this would be hugely productive for scum.

As town it is highly questionable to make this case, as since you cannot have perfect information (and losing out Blue role means Town can't glean any extra info this game) and thus if you are wrong you are sentencing 2 town to be killed. Thus if you want to suggest a move like this as town you had better have solid evidence to backup this plan. I fail to see that evidence coming from GG.

#2 - He throws out my name in every post as though chanting my name. This is subtle manipulation on his part, it's the same tactic used in commercials to get you to remember something and keep thinking about it.


I'm not even sure I need to bother proving this one, it is clearly the tactic GG is using here. Instead I'll return to why GG is scumreading me, the Chez rule.

I would like to point out that GG is clearly basing his assertion that I am scum off the Chez Rule, yet he does next to nothing to backup his belief in the Chez rule. It was scott who first tried to explain it, then ritoky posted links, and Onegu posted another one. GG would rather paraphrase the rule in order to get it to fit this situation and stick to it, then give any real evidence about the Chez Rule.

Having now done my own reading and looking into it I can see why GG isn't giving out those links. His play is not very in line with how Chez would play out his rule. In the Champions Game Onegu linked to, you can clearly see that Chez is willing to think outside his own rule, and while he comes back to it time and again he never lets the rule fully cloud his judgment. I also have a hard time believing Chez would allow his vote to be wasted like GG let his "vote" on me go to waste D1.


#3 - He throws around spots in his reads like he's offering safe passage to those he "reads town"


I quoted the post he made where he stated this a couple of posts ago. Again, I think this point speaks for itself.

I'm really interested if anyone has anyway to explain how this thinking could possibly be good or helpful.

#4 - He throws out his Townreads on Kick and Ritoky like they were candy that everyone should enjoy, and then remember who gave them out so they will accept more later.

The post where he does this is here, but here is the portion I found most interesting.

Show nested quote +
Multiple people, including this now confirmed town and another strong town read of mine (ritoky) have now posted speaking very positively of my recent posting yet Tictock continues to insist that it 'doesn't make sense'. I readily assume that if this many people are capable of reacting positively to it while TT continues to insist a tentative read in regards to my push on him, wanting to push back on me, but having too many people speak positively of my posting, that it would be natural for a mafia to be inclined to feign 'confusion' rather than continue to 'tunnel back against me' or 'flop on me and read me as town'.

Also, I would like to point out that in the end, my conclusion to townread Kickstarter was correct. I say this to promote the integrity of my reads so I can get other villagers to follow me when I say 'vote ticktock' and 'I will add kickstarter to my town list' so that you people stop lynching my townreads and I'm not the only one voting my scumread at EOD.


This is such an easy move for scum to make since they actually know who is town. GG is quick to throw out that he was townreading Kick, yet he barely recognized that Kick had died or was our ONLY blue role. He spins his read on ritoky the same way, just saying "I knew he was town, listen to me"

Saying you were right about Townreads is the worst way to prove you are town as it is the easiest way for Mafia to show that they are town as well. If anything people should be more afraid to listen to GG given this statement.

#3 & 4 together pretty much prove to me that GG does not have Town interests in mind. I also find there to be ample explanation as to why Scum!GG would be acting this way and pushing me like this. Maybe it's a little WIFOM, but I don't think scum is sweating losing a member of their team right now if it has the potential of getting another ML and creates further confusion and misdirection at the same time.


Some discussion about Tic/Templar. There's been some question as to his direction particularly when he first dropped his scumreads night 1 against Damdred, I don't think I'm clear where he stands on Damdred, but this shows some direction and might (for Scott, others) clue in whether Tic is mafia in some of these points he's making. It's an awful lot of work to distort the truth and whilst I don't agree fully with #1 or #2, I can see where he's coming from.

For #1, I also don't like how Templar is hyperfocus on one person. I ALSO asked him who else he thought was scum besides Tic.

Templar DID push KS though and that I know when I looked through filters. My problem is how he gave KS another townread again and maybe this warrants further look into what it took to rescind each the town and the scum reads.

But let's just say Tic just loses his mind and gets modkilled for whatever reason. Who will Templar vote for now? I have no fucking idea honestly.

#2 - repeating Tic's name - I don't think this in of itself makes a player mafia. I can see town pushing a lynch hardcore correct or not with this tactic if they really feel they have a mafia in their hands.

This Chezinu rule still makes no sense to me, but with regards to EoD, I also still take issue with how he had no stance on Chocolate or wanted to ignore Chocolate. This to me looks like he saw two town wagons and figured he'd let the mislynch go through. I just think it is weird to start, that someone would see others take a stance on Chocolate and he just outright refuses to do so. I don't see him doing this at all from a town world.

#3 and 4 to me however are pretty damning for Templar though so if Templar really is a town/mislynch, he'd might want to explain where he's coming from with that.

A big flaw in his reasoning is assuming that townies are correct. Just because someone is a townie doesn't mean they are correct on someone's alignment especially if they are not a blue role (who can get that extra information).

For everyone else, I think this post makes Tic less likely to be mafia at least from what I previously thought. If Templar does turn out to be town maybe this deserves a revisit. But I think those scumming Tic or doubting his alignment one way or another might want to take a look at some of his long posts. If he's mafia there might be some contentious points.

What stops them is the "Why am I still alive" policy. You can only run that towncred for so long and wonder why that person wasn't shot by the mafia, unless they are mafia. I can get into it more if you would like, but that's the jist of it.


Isn't that WIFOM though? How often on this site are top players (who are town) manipulated by this?

What is someone who is town just isn't getting the right people down as mafia but people still view him as town? He's left alive and then people turn against him and mislynch him? I don't know.

I still think Onegu is a worthy policy lynch. I was reading a guide to forum Mafia on some wiki, and it said that it was common for towns to adopt a "lynch all lurkers" policy. Onegu still hasn't really contributed anything of value, really. It's totally impossible to get any read on someone who doesn't post anything substantive. I don't think the meta town read is sufficient to exonerate him. I saw he's moderating another game on the forums - he's surely smart enough to replicate his last town game as scum.

I have a town read on milo. I've also come round on Damdred and VE. They both got out in front of their wagons, and I don't think that it's usual Mafia play to do that. I also really liked Damdred's response to my last question. Mafia are usually (I understand) obsessed with getting things right and are wary of admitting mistakes. When I pointed out Damdred had two different reads on Chocolate, he admitted it straight up. That makes me think that he was posting an honest stream of conscience, which I don't think a Mafia would do.

I'm leaning towards Chocolate being town, a lot because his behaviour during the last EOD seemed really genuine.

As to SL's replacement, I'm null. It's too early still. I'm also not sure on Nymus. As for GG, I originally thought that he was scum leaning, as all his posts were just "I think you're town". But he's changed it up since then. I'm null on him too.

Also, yeah, my heart is going pretty quickly. Mafia is a hell of a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. I still feel awful for being the casting vote on KS. Being town and not knowing who to trust is giving me paranoia. It's fun, but once this game is over I think I'll need a break..


I would agree on Onegu. If he's town, he's detrimental as fuck. If I were a vigilante, he'd be dead 100%. I have a special category for him because his play is just terrible as both alignments. The weed reference on my end is in jest, I have no idea if he actually is high or not when he plays this game, but his play is nonsensical and it just seems like he doesn't give a fuck throwing this random Chez/Onegu rule around.

I think someone (ritoky?) mentioned that as scum he tends to lurk or someone said he's a scummy lurker, but from the games I read he lurks as town too so I don't get the difference. Can someone who is more experienced comment on where they draw the line legitimately with Onegu?

Do you have any scumreads at all? You have a townread on Chocolate for EoD, but he hasn't posted anything much since. Does this affect you one way or another?

Also I've played forum mafia on other sites btw Milo. This site seems to be a higher level of play. I am a bit frustrated no one is around when I'm on, and I'm trying to time my play so that some of the Americans are on later at night but that doesn't seem to be working. It seems like most people in these games are US though? I don't know. But I took a look around and see there are Newbie games, maybe some coaching might help. I would have signed up for a Newbie game but nothing was opened so I just PMed moderators to replace in and see how this game goes. But I think Newbie might be the way to go...sounds like you get a coach who can help you a bit if you are lost.

Oh and while I am at it.......

Is anyone around? I wish I could interact with more people in this game. I would have engaged Tic earlier last night if I wasn't on my phone. I was on the restaurant's wifi and it was another bad/dead zone reception wise once we left.

If we need to light a fire under his ass I have no problem with that, but he's a town read at the moment.


I just saw this. I assume you mean Onegu here. How is his way of reading Templar, myself and Damdred (his three scumreads) alignment indicative? Aside from his claim VT, which I did see, earlier, the whole Onegu rule seems very arbitary.

Is it just you agreeing with those reads, or some of them? Because he seems to just scumread those who are scumreading him. I asked him to take into account why people were scumreading him and I even told him why I had a problem with the way he jumped his D1 reads around and the best he seems to have is an omgus response.

Edit to that post to Fidei - I keep getting you and Milo mixed up lol. My fault.

But still same deal. I just assumed both of you were also new.

But I have an additional question Fidei - how is Templar more town now that he's changed it up? What do you mean by changed it up?

Alright, looking back I think I've focused too much on defense and not enough time pushing my reads. Here's where I'm at
Chocolate Town
VE Mafia

I really don't want to get into that again. But I think that this is the way things do and should line up.

Other reads:
Ritocky is super town from the combination of both his activity level and the thought he puts into the game. I called him nitpicky earlier, but as the game goes on I appreciate the pressure he is putting on.

Nydus is a light town. I'm sorta getting a dimwit silly impression from him, and it seems hard to understand why mafia would want to fake that. I realllly don't like his last post though, so that bumped him down.

Fidei is town just for doing for the long, clear, and well-written way he conveys his thought processes. I've never felt jarred by of his logic.

Damdred is scum. His vote on Kickstart and the way he has been playing is so noncommital.

I still like Templar. You people don't understand his utterly dopey playstyle in video mafia. He plays here like he does there.

The problem with these reads is that means only one scum voted on Kickstart. And that's a real problem. I'll rethink this in the morning with my Onegu/Ticktock/Scott/New Guy sequel.

So I wanted to finish my reads, but I'm finding it hard.

Onegu is just so... weird. I'm fine lynching him anytime. Can't read him.

Tictock is town. Same reason for my read on Fedei.

Scott is also probably town??? Weakest town read.

New Guy might be scum. Weakest scum read. I hated SL's play, and I'm getting a 'desperate attempt to turn things around' vibe.


Do you still think Damdred and VE are both scum? A decent number of us have them as both town. And a lot has happened since your last set of reads.

I don't understand Chocolate scumreading KS at end of day. Chocolate votes KS to survive but then turns around and scumreads KS for voting him? And KS was the other choice that night? What the fuck?

I'm switching to KS. I really like these points
"Hounds people for reads but when confronted for his own reads he gives only smoke scum read that is rehashed fom others in the thread, sl scum read at this point is an afterthought and feels contrived."

walls of text, I don't know if you consciously write them for this reason but I have a hard time focusing on them and if I see a bunch of new posts I kinda just skip over them at first

still don't really like his first post lol

and now he bandwagons on me for ??

my vote is also partially grounded in a will to survive since I hope that with my vote and possibly a change on the part of ritoky I won't die D1 at least


I guess he says partially grounded here but not understanding the other person has a will to survive that just makes no sense.

The case he makes against KS is poorly illustrated at best.

case for KS
sorry for formatting in a hurry

"Took a nap cause I was feeling like shit and moody, probably came through in my posting. Lots of people have taken issue with my Nydus town read. I just want to say again that it was hastily done and I just said it off the top of my head because people were pressuring me to give more town reads (which again I don't find fair since I gave them, but people are greedy and wanted more and I reacted badly). It can be ignored and I have tried to explain why it happened, I will have to reevaluate him later but like I said I would probably not lynch him at the moment."
backpedaling and trying to appease everybody

"After addressing everyone getting a tryhard/bossy vibe from me, do you still find me suspicious? Does my defense that this is normal from me change your opinion at all?

I agree with the town reads part, that is why I don't like to give them this early but since I was asked for opinions on more than just milo i did give a few. Do you still find scott and myself to be most suspicious or has that changed?"
more appeasement

"Again milo I think you are focusing too much on me just because I was pressuring you so hard. That is fine I guess but I still would like to hear thoughts on someone aside from me you find scummy, or am I the only one at this point? Your points in my case I don't find particularly good either but I can address those later if people think they hold weight, for now I will work on posting reads on people aside from you as I have had multiple requests to do so."
evasion

"That said, is milo still slight town and I still slight scum to you? Are there any other reads you can give besides us two at this point?"
evasion

"Well me OMGUSing everything is a stretch. I went on milo and sl before they even mentioned me, and my read on GGT is the same with or without him directing anything at me. 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.

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.

Given how this game has been going I think there is high chance of at least one, but possibly more, scum lurking.

I think looking into the lurkers, will be a good thing to start doing in the next few days.

Ugh sorry, I'm taking close to 5 min to make these super short posts kus my brain is fried & I'm losing my train of thought so easily.

Selective reasoning much? I read your games to see whether you posted the way you did all the time or whether it was alignment indicative.

On with the questions though.

First you put three of us on a list - Damdred, Templar and myself. You are scumreading us because we at some point have scumread you (correct?)

So tell me why you are leaving Chocolate off that list. He is criticizing everyone for giving you a free pass.

Why are you using that reasoning to scumread us when you are completely ignoring that for him?

Never mind how shit his play was for day one.

That's my first inquiry.

The fact is if I am getting pushed for lynch in the first 3 days then guess what I am town with scum trying to mislynch me because they know the longer the game goes on the better my reads get. Like GoT mafia where scum couldnt get my mislynched and I won the game in lylo. Thanks HF for catching the rest of the team.


Or maybe it could be some of us are new to TL or just haven't played with you?

What happened in another game means jack shit for us who are new here. Although in the second paragaph there you think your reads got better in this game you cite and then somoene else (HF) was responsible for catching the rest of the team?

Scott thinks you're lynchable or suspect or whatever after the third day, so not sure what that is about. I assume that is his experience with you.

Still my point is you need to better case your points if you are town some of us don't know you well.

I don't like meta personally. But I'll look shit up if I'm really confused and I find your play really confusing.

(I'll look at the Damdred points you make now though)

Selective reasoning much? I read your games to see whether you posted the way you did all the time or whether it was alignment indicative.

On with the questions though.

First you put three of us on a list - Damdred, Templar and myself. You are scumreading us because we at some point have scumread you (correct?)

So tell me why you are leaving Chocolate off that list. He is criticizing everyone for giving you a free pass.

Why are you using that reasoning to scumread us when you are completely ignoring that for him?

Never mind how shit his play was for day one.

That's my first inquiry.


Also to add to this, this gives me the impression a Chocolate and Onegu scumteam is viable. At least the reasoning you use.

BTW, as far as I can tell his vote on you was NOT policy lynch. I think you left Milo off because Milo wanted to policy vote you.

How is "not following up" - maybe that was Damdred's reason I don't know - or my reasons - if you were serious - you are jumping around with all your reads - you are calling them "bad"?

That basically means my read on you is wrong, it doesn't mean I am mafia.

It means my read on you is wrong because I'm unfamiliar with your gameplay.

I also looked your games up to see if your style of posting was similar or not. I did not use those games to draw a conclusion on you. I don't do meta. so any conclusion I do is only on this game.

I am pointing out other flaws in your arguments, but I have bigger problems now with two other players.

It's not obvious to me you were trolling. I'm not familiar with people around here let alone your playstyles. Give me a fucking break.

Chocolate has not explicitly said "policy" or "scum" lynch either way so I could not tell.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal posting from Onegu?"
verbal diarrhea which confused me


Also I think that was a quote that Choclate used to respond to KS, that was KS's opinion on you I thought, not Chocolates.

Onegu is another one of those players I can't read well currently. Hes just another policy lynch until he does more things, he can not post much as either alignment but seems to care more as scum but also is more lurky as scum. Sooo just need more time with him.



Damdred writes this in his big post. This is after I voted him for no reason. Like if you read my post it just says reasons. Like when ritoky asked me for a filter to read I wrote I rng'd damdred. How does he think I was pushing his lynch at all. Then the only reason he scum reads me is because I didnt push his lynch but voted him. He knows I do this shit all the time. Damdreds reason for scum reading me is complete BS.


So I want to go back to this. You just posted this now.

You are okay with people policy lynching you which Damdred states and then you put Damdred on the scum list?

My issue with that quote is that Damdred says you care more as scum (thus you post more?) but then says you are scum lurker. Which seems contradictory.

If there's another quote that supports this, I get it, but the one you have makes no sense to me.

Calling Fidei as either blue or scum - why? And why out another blue as town? That really makes no sense when I see no other reason to scumread Fidei from his point of view?

He scumreads VE early on but votes Damdred? That is a jump in logic to me.

Onegu is probably scum.

Moving on to other people...



Because here seems to look like you took it serious.


Hence my first line in that quote. I don't think you were trolling at all though with the latter reads I stated - Fidei, VE, Damdred.

Okay, now that is making a little more sense why you don't like Damdred, fine. But what do you think of him after the lynch? He posted some large case or something. Or do you just look at people how they view you and ignore everything else?

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.

Maybe I need to look into this part more on Damdred. If someone leads a lynch, if he pushed him day one, that's usually a town incident? Assuming he truly believed he had a mafia read? Or was his push on the day one lynch for not great reasons?

I'll look into that if people are worried he's good enough to trick us. I just assume all experience players on this site are good enough around here to play scum, maybe some are better than others though, I don't know.

Well to be fair had I actually been around Day 1 I would have switched to Chocolate upon seeing the claim or tried to. KS posting was different but objectively I don't think it made him mafia. From what I read of Day 1 it seemed some people were putting way too much stock on posting style or tone reads and I'm not fully sure if that is just people being bad or mafia.

I think this is the other issue some were having with you. Calling someone town and being right on them doesn't make you town.

Someone being wrong on someone else doesn't make them one alignment or the other.

It's how they get there. I think it was Milo who said you were a video mafia player, right? So maybe that's lost in the way here?

But I think if you can understand why people are getting to where they are on you it might help you sort things out a little better if you are town.

I looked at Tictock's case on you. You are so sure he's mafia. So maybe you can start by showing us the problems in his case on you. Otherwise you'd have to point us in a different direction towards another one of your scumreads.

Milo, I tried to throw Templar a line. You made a comment he's a video mafia player so I can appreciate a different approach from someone like him. His way out though is making a case on someone else and giving up about 12 hours or so before end of day I mean he had still some time to push us another direction.

He doesn't like Damdred or Onegu and the latter is a common scum read on a few. He had IMO a chance talking about Onegu.
(I personally don't think Onegu is a good lynch today but others don't like him.)

In any case frustration can come from either alignment.

Milo you mentioned you had the same reads as him. Including his latest? Can you talk a little more yourself about Tictock, Damdred and VE?

Especially how are you seeing scum in VE and Damdred?

Also you think Chocolate is town? How are you seeing that he's town?

If Tictock is mafia can you point out the flaws then in his case on you?

You should be able to demonstrate how some of those points he makes does not necessarily make you mafia.

I personally didn't agree with all of his case but what is interesting to me is your stance on Chocolate and the second town read on KS. I cannot see at this point how anyone sees him as town, no that doesn't make you mafia itself but you total ignored him day one when others made a big deal of him.

Which is why I might actually have to agree with NHM (!!!) that a Chocolate flip might team you could be on a team with him.

I'm on my phone when I get to my laptop I'll try and follow up with a quote I know you straight up just wanted to ignore him.

Sure. I don't know if you've checked out my filter, but this entire game I've been on the side of Chocolate/Templar. Defending them against the pushes by VE especially. I'm not going to rehash old fights, but I don't see what VE is contributing. He finds one scummy thing one person does, and then just attempts to push a mislynch. He doesn't take the person's whole play into consideration. I just don't like the way he's been playing.

Damdred is almost the opposite. He started the game by mildly townreading everybody. None of his early posts take a stand. Then, when he is accused he defends himself by saying, 'make a case' or 'you're dumb' instead of actually proving himself town.



I really don't think VEs pushes make him mafia, he could be wrong but at least for Templar the way he's showing his points at least shows he's believing in the case and d2 I think he's pointing out multiple things wrong with Templar.

As for me Chocolate looks really really bad at EoD I would 100% lynch him the way he went about KS. Scott questioned you how you thought Chocolate was town for EoD and I really would like to know too because I am getting the complete opposite conclusion and I evaluated earlier in the day.

I stand corrected Scott was talking to Fidei regarding Chocolate not you. But Milo second issue now in case you're not used to forum mafia, your defense of Chocolate was based on his earlier posting D1 (checked your filter) but you don't make any change based on his EoD posting which I feel is significantly worse. If you don't feel your read changes on Chocolate then why?

I also hope Fidei has something to say I think he's been hesitant to give reads before.

There's nothing wrong with being wrong but there's a lot more to look at now.

He said he was at work but considering EoD is middle of the night for us in EU that should give him plenty of time.

Here's the deal with forum mafia. You can't just be right you also need to be convincing and provide detailed reasoning.

You need to do that for someone other than Tic.

And reads change often the cycles are longer here than they are in video mafia. There is stuff you need to reevaluate. And you're not. (And neither is Milo to be fair.)

And that makes it difficult regardless of your alignment.

His activity push on you actually looks good. Plus his willingness to look at people again and again looks good.

Basically his case on KS is just awful, the scumread on KS is horribly contrived (second post) and I illustrated how it was so. The way he frames his case on KS is basically that no matter how he answers, he's mafia. I think in English it's called a loaded question or a loaded answer but you'll know what I mean when you read the second post I made.

The other real problem I have is that both needed to vote each other for survival yet Choco contends that the latter was scummy for doing so himself or he said he was bandwagoning on him. His responses to KS (third post) were mediocre at best. But those three posts should detail the contentions I have.

He NEVER had any mafia reads during D1, and I think that he AS mafia just didn't want to piss anyone off.

You're in thread with Damdred and VE, who are presumably two of your scum reads. (If they aren't then who is? Tic? I just know your list is similar to Templar's.)

You still think they are both scum by the way they are in this thread? And if no one is pressuring your scumreads then why aren't you? Obviously you think something is off with them.

Well I know Milo is trying to compare you now to how you are in video mafia, and since I know little on the difference, I'm just surprised he's only looking at your tone, selectively looking at your tone without considering anything else you're posting. I don't know if that's how people play in video mafia, apparently Templar says it isn't but regardless he's not being helpful at best by not re-evaluating things.

So what I'm trying to ask you - and VE is doing the same - ignore his tone. Do you have a problem with his case on Templar? Do you see a flaw that you think hurts the cases or makes him mafia? That is what I am trying to drive at.

Well, Fidei, I don't agree at all on the Chocolate read but now I have a better sense of where you're coming from and you've demonstrated you have looked at other parts of his play.

Scott, you like "almost" everyone voting for Templar. Who don't you like? If Templar is mafia, who do you think is bussing?

I know the primary concern with Damdred from a few people was that he was middle of the road at least day one. I might have to look at that again to verify. On a first read, he didn't look bad at all.

For day two, he appeared to be reevaluating people but if he has a decent track record as mafia it could alternatively be a world where he's trying to hold out and see where people's opinions fall. That's a potential mafia world for Damdred. I don't think it makes him mafia. Not yet.

Last I checked, he wants to lynch NHM and Chocolate. But then he asks me why I want to lynch Chocolate. Could be for a number of reasons.

NHM has some points since he started pushing her, but I don't know whether if it's because he disagrees with her or if he still feels she's too inactive or what.

I'm also going to assume that if Damdred is a skilled mafia player (is he?) then he probably knows and has bussed teammates before. If that's a wrong assumption to make then someone say something.

I think Templar had Damdred on his scumlist. If they are both scum it means they are double bussing. I guess it's possible.

I'm not clear on the voting rules, I thought first offence was warning? Well Chocolate should be lynched regardless.

Actually I don't think Shen is mafia for this reason

If I were scum I'd never be as inactive as SL was the first day, even if I were about to get replaced
Shen being very active today tells me more that he is trying to do town more of a service than dispel the read people were getting on sl

He was also pushed moderately day1 before and after I brought it up which I don't have a good reason to feel suspicious but strikes me as fishy (though I do recognize that I was part of that crowd)


I generally think activity isn't always alignment indicative. When I was looking at Onegu in Guardians for example, a couple of the scummers in Guardians appeared to be very active.

It was mentioned by a few in this thread that the replacement occurred for reasons not related to the game, so his replacing out should not be taken as alignment indicative.

If people don't like what I have to post, then they need to point it out to me.

Does anyone want to hop on Chocolate? Or is it too late?

Alright, this means we definitely need to re-evaluate. Tictock believed in his case, but there were some flaws.

I'm also getting a little nervous about the effective lurkers in this game.

I'm looking at the votes. I am seeing a problem with NHM.

NHM - scumreads Chocolate and Tictock, and is willing to lynch the former. I ask a bit too late to get people to vote Chocolate at the end of day. She says she'd have voted him but she was the solo voter.

I pushed chocolate like crazy, but I don't think she pushed him much at all honestly.

Then...

SHE VOTES WITH CHOCOLATE ON TICTOCK.

Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this?

It's very late here, I'll put more thoughts when I wake up. But that was something that jumped out at me. Good night.

Explain your reads then chocolate


+1. I haven't seen much in the way of reasoning on any of your reads. Besides OMGUS.

Now I'm out.

The night lasts 24 hours according to the rules. So the NK gets done at 2300 my time. That's a little over 7 hours from now.

I'm extremely busy at work. Once I get off work though, I'll look into Damdred/VE/NHM given the concerns I'm reading.

I'm pretty sure Scott is okay but will probably give his filter a runthrough to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Milo is making me a little nervous as a lurker, NHM for that and the reads day two.

That should work. Yes, I'm an hour ahead. I'll probably be on before you, but will be around when you are on.
Yeah, when I first replaced in, I just assumed everyone was from the US or whatever so I thought I'd be doing monologues most of the game. That would be awesome.

I swear I'm trying not to lurk, but I don't have much time to devote at the moment. I'm almost certain Fidei and Chocolate are town. I don't see why one of them would try to pocket me, and GG Templar flipping town proves that the reads we all share are legitimate.


No. Just no.

Maybe you're new to this so maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

Just because you all share the same reads does not necessarily mean all of you are town. That is very faulty reasoning since a scum player has perfect information (they absolutely know who is town) all he or she has to do is fake reads. The lack of skepticism (or substantiation) usually indicates someone is scum which actually would make some of the players defending Templar suspect as there were ample reasons to question his behaviour and at least two of us tried to give him a chance to work with town and resolve the issues he had but he blatantly refused.

I went into Tictock's case for that very reason day two because if is he scum, there is going to be a problem somewhere in that case or his approach to things. Townies pushing townies is a lot more common than you think and it happens for many reasons.

I will say this yet again being right does not make someone town and being town does not mean they will have the right reads.

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.

Tictock deserved his win though, that was insane. Too bad for town.
