Don't like Mig or prplhz's entrances, and Fecalfeast tends to shitpost as both alignments so I'm going to consider his entrance NAI. Salty/JAT looking town early on. | ||

I'm even more confident of JAT/Salty being own based on the former's pushing with his claim analysis, the latter's thought process in fakeclaiming medic and the way he's explained the reads. Salty's posting in general is just really town and a lot of the things he's saying have been well thought out. I really do not like BF's post on page 27, the one where he no-lynched, it's honestly just a huge cop-out IMO and there had been plenty of material to work with. I also agree with the points on prplhz having a weird read progression/flip on Artanis, but I also know from playing town games with him (in particular NSM7) he's not articulate/doesn't get his points across too well and I've misread him as scum either questioning his activity or reading too much into something he's said so I need to read more on him/filter dive him in detail before concluding anything. Fuba, I like his initial post on BF, but I don't understand the gut acceptance of Artanis' claim, the lack of skepticism is a scum behaviour to me - usually when I evaluate claims, I evalute the timing of the claim and the gameplay upon which it stands, so I'm really surprised this didn't give him some pause. And it was pretty early in the day I thought. marvellosity - nothing really jumped out at me as odd or scummy, his questioning of fuba based on his meta knowledge of him seems reasonable and I don't think anything was wrong with the Marv/yamato interaction. Granted I haven't had as much exp with them as apparently Mig has had but still I can definitely see Marv getting impatient with people at least for bad play, so nothing unusual really stuck out with me there. I'd have him as a town lean at the point where I stop reading. Mig - aside from the entrance I didn't like, I didn't see follow through on his initial concerns at least up to page 27. The thing that I didn't understand was he was more than willing to lynch Artanis, he apparently metaed him and whatnot. He scumreads Fecalfeast, but I don't know why there was a lack of followup on Artanis or whether he dropped Artanis together (with no discussion of the claim situation) - says 3.5h before the lynch Artanis is unlikely going to be lynched which tells me he didn't drop the read at all, and only begs the question of his d1 actions - why didn't he push him? and prioritise Fecalfeast instead? There's probably more on Mig after that but that's what jumped out at me. Also not sure what to make of at that time, a lurky Fecalfeast (though I see he's posted a bit here so I can evaluate more) and Chezinu. Chezinu didn't seem to make much of an impression at all through D1, and I've never played with Chez, does he normally lurk? | ||

Last time I was town, I got busy in RL and was afk. Half of Sky asked the same question in the obv qt. The answer is quite clearly no. Chezinu loves the center of attention way too much. Here's the thing - I didn't actually play that game (Ippo) and I honestly forgot I even asked that in the obs qt for Ippo. I checked the playerlist at the time I first stopped reading and I realised you hadn't said or done much of anything so that's where that came from. Although Salty I think the marv vote is coming from marv actually saying "Chez normally lurks" as he's quoted. | ||

Did check the last 3 games of his and he averages between 4-8 pages over 4-5 cycles. That's pretty low. But I also don't like how he disputes the lurky factor and then doesn't comment at all on how you didn't like the push on FF especially when you've singled that out or how you talking about that makes you mafia. | ||

However I don't remember a single post you made so maybe you could write a memorable one about why you're lynching Chezinu? Stopped in the low 30s of the thread last night, but based on the information I had: 1 Chez hadn't done jack all through the point I stopped reading 2 When he reappeared in thread he and Marv have a dispute on lurkiness which Marv effectively disproves (and happens to be one of the main points why Chez is voting Marv) - I ask him to comment on the part where Marv says he doesn't like the push on Fecalfeast. So my expectation is that Chez either would have followed up on that comment (I specifically asked Chez why he left that part out) or continue his push on Fecalfeast or try and flesh out his alignment. He did neither from what I could tell. | ||

On June 09 2015 15:57 Mig wrote: lmao chez is the best. Just going to assume chez is going to get lynched next. So besides him who is most likely to be mafia after him. So after rethinking things, I came to a realization, why the fuck are we all so sure that JTA is town? What has JTA done this entire game? He is around constantly, but how many people have you seen him push to get lynched? The only person this entire game that JTA has been 100% gunho on lynching was artanis. Which in hindsight should be throwing off some red flags. The second that NAcl claimed, JTA wanted artanis insta lynched. He is 100% sure that there is no way that the game could have a doctor and jk, why? In my mind if mafia had a rber and or vig it would be fine and totally balanced. But JTA was fucking positive this was impossible, maybe because he knows the mafia roles and knows it would be bullshit for town to have 2 protective roles. This is the same shit as yamato except hes attacking instead of defending. Conversely look at how prplhz/marv/vayne reacted, none of them were totally certain what to believe. So besides artanis who has JTA pushed? He has thrown suspicion at me/marv/ a few random other people but has he actually tried to get a single person besides artanis lynched? You sure about this? Few flaws in this argument, when I'd read both the thread and JAT's filter, JAT was on Artanis partially because of gameplay/meta. On June 06 2015 10:52 justanothertownie wrote: Going to bed. Anyone who is even considering not lynching Artanis has to explain all this: First of all you have to explain why NaCl is scum because there is no way there are 2 protective roles in a 10 vs 3 setup with 1 mafia KP and normal roles but EVEN IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU ON ITS OWN and you think for some reason it is possible to have a JK AND a doctor in the same game: The situation is the following - you are Artanis a pretty good and experienced town player and you happened to role JK. Halfway into day1 nothing much happened so far and all of a sudden marvellosity who you townread and who you think is a really good player is attacking and voting you. You played a lot of games together. Do you either try to convince him that you are town/play the game or immediately feel the need to claim? The answer is even if Artanis thinks he will potentially get lynched he will never claim his really powerful role without trying to avert the lynch otherwise before (and his stats show that he is really good at not being mislynched). On the other hand if you are scum Artanis then you might think to yourself - "I will probably not be able to avoid being lynched" for whatever reason (maybe because town marvellosity set his sights on you). Artanis had some really weak scumgames. In THAT CASE claiming JK is pretty good. If noone counterclaims you will survive AT LEAST a day and be able to push an agenda. If you get counterclaimed you outed a really important role (if scum has a vigi getting rid of our protective role basically means they need one less mislynch for example) and in the worst case you just still get lynched. Maybe you even survive because people are idiots. So town Artanis obviously did not claim because of being afraid. So why would he? Artanis says he claimed because he thought he was outed by a dumb breadcrumb (which I think is HIGHLY unbelievable itself) he did which marv put emphasis on. So what do you do in this situation? The answer is you never ever ever claim right away. What does town get from your outing? Nothing. If you think you absolutely need to claim for whatever reason you can still claim during the end of the night to avoid getting shot if scum happen to not know about you. By claiming you are destroying any chance of them not knowing for no real benefit. If Artanis is town he acted incredibly stupid to a degree that is absolutely insane. I refuse to believe this and that he would not put any thought in how to play as one of towns most important and strong roles. The likelihood of him being mafia is much much higher. Add to this the claim by NaCl and we will absolutely lynch Artanis today. The gameplay/meta what I refer to is what I've bolded in this quote - like I said when I first got in here - I weigh any claims not just by timing - which JAT already did - but also by the townplay backing it up. From early game onwards, Artanis had done not much of substance, and JAT's rationale on Artanis is presumably from experience - I have played with both players enough that they probably have had the experience to judge like that on each other. I also thought JAT moved on to Yamato after Salty explained his play and dropped the claim. Yes JAT does say there's no way there are 2 prot roles in a 13 player game, and to be honest I'm not sure if a vig in there makes it any better, most 13 player games any vig is one-shot so even after that scum vig exhausts the shot, mafia would still have to contend with 2 prot roles esp if the vig/kp misses both of them...with 1kp thereafter. Even if vig hits either prot role, the second prot role can cause mafia to miss another kp. I mean mafia could get lucky and hit both prot roles with both the default kp and the vig, but all in all that is just awfully swingy and not having a clue how WBG hosts his games, host wifom, forget it. I've never played/hosted a 13p game with two prot roles ever, so.... In any case though I don't think this makes JAT mafia. In his filter he goes on Artanis in two other separate quotes for his gameplay - he's putting emphasis on not just the claims but the gameplay after the fact as well, which you seem to ignore. Artanis was the brunt of his push D1 with yamato coming after the cc was dropped. D2 I'm still catching up on since I didn't get caught up on the second half of the thread, but I really don't think JAT is mafia based on how he pushed Artanis alone - he broke it down adequately I feel - and I don't think the role speculation esp in a closed setup (esp since closed setups make things pretty more wifom anyhow) is problematic. JAT's lack of pushes on other people (D2 maybe? can't comment since I'm not caught up) could be valid but considering he's going on BF right now, he appears to me to be at least figuring things out. But the argument for day 1 vs Artanis really doesn't stand. And I'm not sure why you ignored the gameplay angle of that either. Selective reasoning? | ||

Boxerfred this is his second game. His first game, I was coaching two townies and I was able to ping his posting out as scumlike partially because of lurkiness but more tellingly because he was making soft pushes. At least on the one townie I was coaching if I remember right. I am fine with the Chez lynch, though if I think Fuba or BF prove to be even better I'll definitely pipe up. | ||

Was at least leaning town on him before it (mostly because of the case that people seem to agree seems accurate, though I haven't had the time to look into mig's previous games myself). That being said, I can't really decide what to make of Artanis's claim. My instinct is to believe him, though that instinct has bitten me in the ass before. Like prplhz said, his story does have a consistency to it that leads me to believe he's telling the truth. The fact that prplhz's view suddenly seemed to flip on the subject makes me... uncomfortable. I think I'd prefer to lynch this guy. Gives reasons to see yamato as scummy>says yamato could be scummy>backs off on it>prefers no-lynch over guy he thinks could be scum. I mean, I understand wishy-washiness better than anyone, but he definitely seems to just be coasting by. Like... if he'd really given enough thought to preferring a no-lynch over a yamato lynch, why didn't he then switch his vote? He seems to just be saying things to say things, giving the appearance of participation, and disappearing. ##Vote boxerfred Gotta get some sleep, but I'll get up an hour or two early to read/talk. Hmmm it'd be a real stretch to consider this TMI but I don't understand this consistency he's addressing. Artanis' gameplay was questionable and it was rightfully questioned. Damn I'm just going to look at other quotes and see if something jumps out. | ||

Vayne doesn't post much as either alignment, and even as scum he's not as tryhard as he was supposedly before (well I learnt that the hard way in Aperture 4). I also don't understand the associative read that he makes between yam and VA here. Fuba are you referring to the timing of the vote here that makes Vayne scummy? Had to read this more than a few times now. I checked the vote count and VA voted Chez so I am completely confused by this? In any case looking at the rest of the filter, I still would have expected some followup if he had a problem with Vayne. Even a one-liner for what it was worth. | ||

Was making me uncomfortable. I haven't read his newbie game. Might do so tonight. But I don't really see the point in comparing this current game to his single previously played game. Speculating on how he might play town based off of his scum game is silly, and without having at least one of each, you can't even attempt to form some kind of meta read. What I think is silly is light bussing pretty much immediately, and then remaining on that nearly the entire day. Admittedly, at the end, BF went balls to the wall against yamato and anyone not voting for him. As I said earlier, it could be TMI. Can't fault anyone for thinking that. But I see it as a town newbie, excited that his first scumread was getting lynched. He doesn't seem concerned with how the thread sees him (until he's actually called out on it). He seems genuine. I would probably see it differently if it was someone who wasn't in their second game. Yeah, I never said it was anything more than that. It's pretty much all I can say about Vayne though. Considering he has not done anything after this it's a soft push at best, then again to be fair VA probably isn't giving much for him to push on, but we go back to why he made that first quote in the first place. Someone (you marv?) said he had a hard time posting as scum and a quote like that with a response like that (second quote) makes me think (if what you are saying is correct) he's posting just to post. That's the impression I get from reviewing those last two things of his filter. He says Vayne is scummy and I'm having a tough time seeing why, you are having a tough time seeing why and then he says "I never said....etc....it's pretty much all I can say." The quotes alone don't make him mafia but based on what you (or whoever said it) know about him, that he has trouble posting or in this case explaining his position on Vayne. | ||

And I have little idea about Vayne. The only thing I directly remember about him is his reaction to yamato flipping (which was either just an honest town reaction or scum wifom) and the fact that he reposted his post about me from our last game together (which would seem to indicate he's a survivor XD). So... my current VA read is a whole lot of *shrugs* Yamato and VA I know have been around a long time and his expectations of yamato's scum play might be indicative of what his true meaning was there...well fuck, I don't know enough about yamato as mafia except that in Ippo he lurked and just did not play. But Ippo was last month, I know jack all how yamato has played as mafia from whenever before my time. I generally think VA is town if he does post 1-2 useful things. I don't think he did that in Aperture 4 but when I tried to hold him accountable for "tryhardiness" in that game he told me don't consider his gameplay in the whole context of things...and then he was mafia. Figures. My play in Aperture was terrible but I digress. This game though...to me those 1-2 "useful" posts I'd say are the comments on mig, the entrance and his metaread on Chez. I think he's town. | ||

Maybe I'm not the best at it, but I know he lurks as town, as far as town games are concerned that metric comes from void, titanic 7, carnaval to a lesser extent. Void he tried to look at my filter after I got lynched for instance. Carnaval he was survivor and tried to look at fuba. If it's shit-tier, fine but I probably have more limited experience with him than you have. Maybe I should look at more games, but I'm just recalling from whatever I played or hosted with him. | ||

Salty had way more town credibility on his behaviour compared to Artanis through his counterclaim so how did that not trigger any reaction? Although unless I missed it you don't have a read on Salty either. | ||

He calls FF mafia all of day 1, the only post he calls to attention is the "hey gang" (entrance?) post that FF makes and that's really it. He obviously doesn't have to case him since it may not be his style but you could argue reading his filter, all his pushes are really soft pushes. I'd argue soft pushes all game are scummy. Didn't say much on Mig either. | ||

1 FF, the two quotes he said to you, the one is above, but the second from what I recall indicated he wanted to post something that would be acceptable to others - to me this sounds like blending in or not wanting to be confrontational. Did anyone else get that impression? 2 Also on the topic of that first quote are his reads, which I know Salty tried to compare with the way he did it in Carnaval. I read his filter again in Carnaval last night, and I see where the "smattering of reads" is coming from. One problem I have with the boxerfred read is how "tone" - he used genuine - changed his opinion of someone, and the thing with tone reads is that they give an initial impression - if someone is scummy the first go, I would think you'd be a little more cautious or needing something more than tone for that read to change. Something seemed off there. 3 The Chez claim issue bothered me as well, I know there's more quotes but we'll start off with this On June 10 2015 02:52 fuba wrote: I find it strange that marv says he sees no sense in what chez is saying, when I think it seems pretty clear. On June 10 2015 03:08 fuba wrote: I don't know. But the same question could be asked about him if he is scum. I know chez likes posting in riddles rather than just saying what he's thinking, so maybe that's an answer for both questions. Gonna check for chez's previous blue games, see if he'd just outright claim then. And I know cops aren't informed whether there's millers or not. But it's reasonable for a town cop!chez to remind us that there's the possibility of millers being in the game, if he expects his death to confirm him as a cop, and confirming that he checked marv, and it came back red. On June 10 2015 03:48 fuba wrote: Yes. If I was in chez's place (assuming for the moment that chez is town), I'd assume that that message would be read as a red check on marv, in the event of my eventual flip as cop. On June 10 2015 04:53 fuba wrote: No, it's absolutely clear what chez was going for. It wasn't clear at all to me and the fact I had to read his filter several times...AND double check the theory by checking other games as a DT. I don't know how he was absolutely seemed to be sure but one flaw in my argument is whether he's had more exp with Chez doing this sort of stuff but as a DT I wasn't seeing it. So I don't know where it came from. Talking in absolutes I agree is a scum behaviour though. The other potential issue is how he kept second guessing himself. Given those two quotes I brought up re: Fecalfeast, it appeared that self-consciousness bled over here when Salty, prplhz, myself, etc were questioning the DT claim and could also be interpreted as him being worried how he looked to us. There were several instances. On June 10 2015 03:09 fuba wrote: Eh, maybe I'm just wrong. On June 10 2015 03:20 fuba wrote: Gonna say I agree, but gonna say again, it's Chezinu... I mean, in his own way (presuming I know enough about his way to even say such a thing), he seems to have done just that.

By themselves, it's not a problem, but when taken in context with the whole being self-conscious about appearance, it becomes a problem. It adds a layer of scumminess to how he's viewing things based on what he said to Fecalfeast. | ||

Aside from fuba, I want to look at some of the other votes that came in on Chez. Namely BF's "everyone is doing it" when he voted on him. It looked really bad but Chez also hinted at BF being "scared" when BF switched to marv and didn't have (IIRC) anything to say re marv. And Mig voting him recalling that chez wouldn't forget a dt game or something when he was pushing JAT earlier on - granted I disputed why JAT was scummy on the argument he was giving but here's the quote before he voted him: On June 09 2015 16:18 Mig wrote: Honestly I am not sure, like is this post by chez and the one following basically him claiming mafia? It sounds to me like yam is his servant in the story. I don't really fucking know what to take seriously with chez. Obviously hes trolling but it seems more likely to me that chez would troll pretend to be mafia as mafia over doing so as town. I am good with lynching chez or JTA. If we want to talk absolutes here's an example of the opposite extreme - we discussed fuba and the DT claim but here Mig's sure this is a mafia claim. To be fair he's not sure what to take seriously. Although I'm skeptical of other's interpretation of meta, what concerns me more is a similar issue with Chez, how he drops the push on Fecalfeast prior. Except his push on FF was stronger and then he dropped that in favour of JAT/Chez. He pushed Fecalfeast all of Day 1 pretty relentlessly, listed some bulletpoints and I'm not sure where that went for Day 2. Nor can I tell from his filter what changed in his opinion. The drop like with Chez I viewed as scummy. | ||

Though even if you had to consider that the switch to marv d2 was pure troll the fact he just asked why marv is town makes me wonder if he was really trolling. At least I am taking that post on the previous page more seriously given marv's response. | ||

Also if you are suspicious of FF, was there anything specific aside from the lurkiness that drew your attention? I know he's just looked at Mig and I feel I'm on the same thinking there, though I need to double check the timing of some of those things. Although if some of the things he's posting doesn't line up it might not necessarily make him scum - I know I've accused FF before of taking things out of context in Titanic 7 and he was town. | ||

This game - 6 page filter/80 pages after 2+ cycles NSM11 - 6 page filter for one cycle (NKed N1 as VT) Ippo - 11 page filter for two cycles (lynched D2, was mafia) TL LXX - 22 page filter for seven cycles/last 2 cycles were 24h (endgamed D7, VT) Debauchery - 4 page filter for three cycles (NKed N3, VT) He's low postcount as either alignment, but I don't know I could reliably say that postcount alone is a scum indicator. | ||

1 The one-liner thing is not a valid argument. First JAT does that as both alignments. Second if you don't trust what I, or anyone else, says there on JAT, case building is not the only way to go about doing things, most people on this forum generally prefer conversational approach to scumhunting, some people find it easier to detect scumtells in conversation. There are some people like Damdred, Trfel, Tictock, myself, ritoky to a lesser extent that do go the case route, but to be a truly masterful mafia player on this site, you should know how to work both conversationally and via case route. 2 A number of those points about the Artanis claim are similar to what Mig tried to do when scumreading JAT and I shot just about everything down. There are honest reasons to doubt a claim and I can tell you haven't looked into those. | ||

Not sure how to respond to what's been said about me. I have absolutely no idea what chez was doing at all, because it definitely seemed to me as though he was saying that when he flipped, marv would be in trouble. That, along with the comment about millers, made me think he was claiming something (specifically cop). His play that day seemed to be from the perspective of a cop who had a red check on marv. I have a lot of trouble understanding how no one else at least caught glimpses of this. Actually, didn't someone say something about chez and mad hatters? Like "cut it out with this mad hatter shit" or something? Thought it was prplhz, but I didn't see it in his filter. Oh, it was mig. So at least one other person saw some sort of claim in chez's play. Guess that means I'm not completely insane. We went through this already. We expected a hardclaim based on him saying he had to afk even though it was 5h approx prior to EoD. Question after question we threw at him because no one could tell, I looked up his history to compare and test the "riddle" theory you brought up. Both FF and I read filters God knows how many times. And Mig I think said quite the opposite rightly or wrongly and voted him saying he wouldn't forget a game he was dt, he's screwing around or whatever, so that statement doesn't hold unless I misunderstood it. | ||

First off, GGs Marv. Second, I'm not sure I agree with you on fuba Mig, and there's one thing you are missing. Salty pointed this before but will say it again - in Carnaval he provided reads, and here he's not doing that, at least not as readily in Carnaval. Ironically you take the same quote you provided and in Carnival, he's getting somewhere based on information he has in front of him. On June 11 2015 12:44 Mig wrote: Not feeling the case against fuba at all. The interaction around chez's lynch feels completely counter intuitive for how a mafia lurker fuba would play. He isn't hard defending chez but is more probing, asking questions etc. Why even bother if he were mafia and he thinks there is even a tiny chance that chez could be a cop when he is for sure going to be lynched? Just for town credit? In general people who lurk as mafia are more likely to coast and not worry about drawing attention to themselves to try and earn town cred. This post feels super townie to me also. Mafia are more careful about being honest about things like this. Posts like this draw attention to mafia and you could see fuba instantly got shit about it. + Show Spoiler + On May 25 2015 08:27 fuba wrote: Wishy-washiness is kind of my trademark town play (at least until end game). I used to post a lot more, but every time I would give a giant wall of wishy-washy reads I felt like I was painting a bulls-eye on my back, so I mostly try to think things through on my own now. In an effort to contribute more, I'll try to get some legit reads into the thread by tomorrow. I don't work today, so I should have time to get it done. I wouldn't get your hopes up for definite town/scum reads, but at least I'll put some of my thoughts on "paper". I'm up for a nb lynch. It's true that as a vet, it made little sense to claim during the night. The entire situation seems silly as either alignment, but that remains true. The fact that she was supposedly afraid of dying last night despite being sure that mafia wouldn't also attack her would seem to indicate that her fear was feigned. And she still hasn't explained how she flipped from geript/sandroba scum to sandroba scum + geript absolutely town. Despite being asked multiple times. Many of us had this little feeling that geript was actually town, but she seemed sure of it. ##Vote 17ninjabunnies You can see the same thing from fuba here in carnival as town. He openly admits to trying to craft his posts to avoid suspicion, which is generally a mafia trait but something mafia wont ever post because they don't want to draw attention to themselves. There's nothing wrong with probing and asking questions but where are those questions leading? Here's a look at how he voted for Chezinu. On June 10 2015 00:52 fuba wrote: Mmmmmm mostly town reads. I'll put in the effort of deciding who, among people I don't know how to read, is scum, when the lynch isn't already decided. On that note: ##Vote Chezinu I want to see what his death promises us. And then if for whatever reason he wanted to give Chezinu the benefit of the doubt, why didn't he explore other wagons? At least that would have been the expectation I had to some degree. Granted I think by the time a bunch of us were going back and forth on the whole thing with the Chez non-claim, Chez I think had nearly everyone on him, so I'm guessing (at least on this quote) that contributed to fuba backing down the way he did. In any case, the sticking point is the lack of reads here with him. Right I get he's bringing out his weaknesses out in the open but why isn't he doing anything about it like he did in Carnaval? | ||

Was at least leaning town on him before it (mostly because of the case that people seem to agree seems accurate, though I haven't had the time to look into mig's previous games myself). That being said, I can't really decide what to make of Artanis's claim. My instinct is to believe him, though that instinct has bitten me in the ass before. Like prplhz said, his story does have a consistency to it that leads me to believe he's telling the truth. The fact that prplhz's view suddenly seemed to flip on the subject makes me... uncomfortable. I think I'd prefer to lynch this guy. Gives reasons to see yamato as scummy>says yamato could be scummy>backs off on it>prefers no-lynch over guy he thinks could be scum. I mean, I understand wishy-washiness better than anyone, but he definitely seems to just be coasting by. Like... if he'd really given enough thought to preferring a no-lynch over a yamato lynch, why didn't he then switch his vote? He seems to just be saying things to say things, giving the appearance of participation, and disappearing. ##Vote boxerfred Gotta get some sleep, but I'll get up an hour or two early to read/talk. And you could argue to some extent the same thing is happening with BF now. | ||

Second half I really don't like. You have a different style of play - conversational play. You said you only played one game with him, IIRC. But I've also played with you enough to know that to some extent, he has to evaluate you differently. Aperture was very different because to some extent it was a PM game, so any digging was not done by filter hunting it was via PM. That's a big thing I think he's missing when making that meta comparison. | ||

The only question from his POV that could be valid is him asking why you took so long to focus on Yamato because he's actually focusing on something you did or didn't do. But Yamato's pushes though I can see where he initially comes from the potential TMI quote where he talks about lynching into obvious claims should create enough doubt that he was going soft pushing on a mafia JAT. | ||

Here's what bugs me about Mig - does he have any scumreads other than you? He's considering all possibilities but where does he stand on people other than you? he lynched chez for what I'm assuming appeared a meta-based reason which could be good or bad - he dropped you who he felt strongly about for chez after nearly everyone had piled on Chez. Blending in? Could be. He tried to post bad cases re the Artanis claim and this case isn't very good either, if he's mafia, he's flailing because he can't build a case against anyone else using the argument "considering all possibilities" to buy some time, he could be finding weak/poor reasons to defend Fuba. He still hasn't considered the read progression of fuba, which I find quite interesting when he's apparently looked him over at Carnaval. | ||

I mean, let's take the sentence: "Wouldn't consider it a lock though." So for me as a newbie, I read that as "Well, I wouldn't lock that opinion yet. The case might be solid but it's not enough to justify a lynch". A more experienced player would probably read it as "Well, solid case, but I'm not using my Jailkeeper ability to block him in the night." But still, it's a crumb, not a huge tell. So who would read that sentence so accurate, so exactly, that he'd find that breadcrumb? I mean, it's D1. We're all still a bit kidding and joking, right? Except the one that is directly mentioned in the post: Mig. Mig sees his name pop up. He sees that this is an opinion on the case on him AND he sees that he's considered (or not) to be jailed. Mig's reaction? Go to scum qt, tell everyone that there is a Jailkeeper and pray that the guy gets killed at night - or even day. That would explain why yamato did his original TMI tell: directly believing the claim. I mean let's be honest, scum must've seen the breadcrumb (the crumb was even pointed out once the claim came) and they believed Artanis. I don't understand why Artanis instaclaimed or even dropped that crumb but he got us a red. Now that we all know that the claim was for real, I think it might be worth it to go through the D1 posts and re-read all the reactions. I mean by now, we have several townies dead. Might be worth gathering who went on who. Shame I have no time this evening, my passion is almost restored with that post. However I'll try my best to do what I just said before EoD. I thought about this part of the post and I went back and looked at the Day 1 reactions. In thread were Slam, Marv, Yamato, JAT, FF, prplhz along with Artanis. Yamato had ridicule all around, but Mig in that thread was nowhere to be seen. prplhz gave an lol artanis, Slam straight up called both FF and Artanis fakeclaims, and then after the former rescinded, Artanis drops the crumbs and FF, you posted this.

I complain while making no effort because that's what my brain tells my fingers to do. I see the above, I see why you joked around and then you followed up saying "let's wait for night actions to resolve". Where did you stand on Artanis' claim once it was clear he wasn't joking? | ||

Like, for scum, the best thing to have is to have as many accusations going as possible. Light fires wherever you can and once some fires are burning, chime in every now and then to make sure it keeps burning. I'm the biggest fire that's currently burning, yes, but once I'm lynched, it gets hard to get another fire started when you didn't spark something up in the first days already. So Mig might've seen a good opportunity in jumping on JAT, since he can imagine me getting lynched and then town people might jump on JAT. That's why I think they are not the same alignment. It's a bit tinfoilhatty but I can see scum-Mig putting pressure on people because scum really needs mislynches. That's like the one thing I took from my first game since we lost scum-scott D1 when I was scum in that game. This sort of is in line with some of the things we said during the night cycle, the one post where you concluded he didn't care who got lynched. | ||

BF makes this comment in all the case discussion going down: On June 05 2015 14:39 boxerfred wrote: Hello, people Sick case already, looking forward to the answers! Objectively I would say this opening is scummy because mafia would tend to want to lay back or slow things down. A townie would want to either dig in themselves and ask questions. Therefore when Yamato appears with this about half an hour later: And having disappeared a while, it is actually reasonable that Yamato be exposed first thing to BF’s opening as well as prplhz’s response to him (page 7) before seeing the cases on the previous pages at least an hour or so ago that he sees BF’s comment and calls it scummy. Yamato’s response to BF as to why he was picked out of all the cases would fall in line with this picture. Only approx 20m later Yamato gets to commenting on JAT (timestamps, page 7), and then about an hour and a half later we get this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/postmessage.php?quote=166&topic_id=486819 Which I’d interpret as OMGUS as he repeats nearly the exact same wording as to why Yam’s response was scummy.

On June 05 2015 20:40 boxerfred wrote: No thought on you or fecal thus far On yamato? Given that he lurks, only to make a vote on me, only to leave another short, lurky comment? Yeah could very well be. That's not too solid however. I tend to no-vote currently. Several problems with this response. First I don’t know how a comment is “lurky” I think he means short, I’ll chalk it up to a language barrier here. Second, given the timestamps I previously discussed, how does he know that Yam is lurking? When I go back to Yamatos vote (page 1 of his filter, page 7 of thread) the TIME ELAPSED BETWEEN his last random quip and his vote on BF was almost 6 hours (page 1 of his filter). How does he know that yamato wasn’t out of thread entirely during those six hours? That’s one problem I have there. Now he admits it’s not “too solid” but the lurking part is what would make me think a hint of TMI. The second problem I have there is the another short lurky comment part of that phrase. I want to assume that’s in response to the LOLs prior to the vote, but if not, he’s ignored 3-4 comments that Yamato has made between 0900-1200 (my time). Now objectively let’s look at Yamato. We see these quotes: On June 05 2015 18:40 yamato77 wrote: My whole "I can read prplhz" thing was when I was mafia, lol. I'll let marv have the fun this game. Although independently of anything you've posted, there's this rule that says you should be mafia. Just dunno if it actually applies this game, given Chez's play. On June 06 2015 04:51 yamato77 wrote: fecal is right tho, game is pretty boring until BF does something that looks even remotely townie, I'm content sitting on the idea of lynching him, you lazy fucks can do the scumhunting this game, I'm uninspired. These two quotes alone, independent of BF, I would scumread Yam. It fits his scum meta of laziness and wanting to lay back. Also knowing Yam’s meta, it’s possible that he could have done this to potentially make people question and clear BF since it might raise the question as to why he’d do something like this D1 to him. Also still scummy of Yam because at that point Yam has commented on other people and questioned other people and weights a tone read over other things he finds questionable. | ||

On June 07 2015 01:46 boxerfred wrote: I'm indeed ignoring what you're saying since I don't feel like it has any ground. I don't exactly understand why you say that a "tend to no-lynch" after saying "That guy might be scum" is scummy if it is not for some constructed reasons, trying to get a mis-lynch on a townie. I tend to no-lynch on D1 because it simply makes sense. The probability of hitting a town is way higher than hitting a scum member. I guess you know that. So while I have a scum read on yamato, that scum read is not built on like a rock solid ground but is more a first impression that I'll try to get a grip upon later on. Just like I did when I said "Why are you jumping on me, pulling attention on me instead of my read on yamato?" - Well, instead of replying to that, you just say "LOOK HE'S IGNORING MY WORDS", still shifting attention away from yamato (who seldomly posts anyways) to, oh look, me again. So. You don't like the bolded part, alright? Well shame, deal with it. On D1, there's no evidence or indications of anything in general besides someone's posts. D1 is the day where (IMHO) scum can just lay back, chill the fuck out and jump on the first guy they feel is probably being mislynched. So BOOM ##unvote ##vote no-lynch until I find a case or create a case which seems to be worth a vote. I might change my vote lateron though, I did not yet find the time to read through that Artanis story. Weekend with kids do that to people. At this point the Artanis situation is done and dusted, though he’s admitted to not seeing this. Generally no-lynching on D1 in the absence of scumreads is fine, but here he’s already cited a reason for calling someone scummy. The going to a no-lynch as I had said before is pretty scummy, but if he calls out fuba for putting attention on him he’s also showing he believes in the read enough he shouldn’t be no lynching. Plus there’s the issue of self-consciousness here. Another key indicator here is that the votes are all over the place, so a scum BF would have been easily been able to take his vote off under the guise of trolling. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=13#242 Now BF is later called out for no-lynching by someone else and he says that it’s his second game on TL. This part could lend credence to the newbie theory. (Newb play over mafia play) At that point however, it was about 6 hours prior to EoD. About ONE HOUR PRIOR, Salty had unclaimed and made his massive case on Yamato. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=25#500 (About 10 pages had elapsed within 4 hours and BF was making his case on Yamato.) With 4 hours to go, page 30 of thread, people start debating who to lynch. On page 33 or 2.5 hours prior, about 4 votes pile on top of Yamato, the 4th being about 5-10 minutes before BF types his case. So looking at this I would definitely agree that BF could have slotted the case when he did to blend in when it looked convenient, the theory is supported by the vote sequence and the timestamps. Finally post-lynch: On June 07 2015 08:06 boxerfred wrote: kaboom I voted the guy first ppl, I voted the guy first thank me later I will be honest, I can see this quote both ways – excited town, or mafia wanting to take credit. | ||

And I can more confidently say that looking at the timestamps. The rest of the narrative as others cased it, fits now that I've walked myself again through D1. So don't be fooled, the TMI theory is definitely valid here and he should be lynched. | ||

He drew attention to himself to be fair but his backtracking when people queried him added that layer of scumminess. You might have missed it, but I'll re-quote it again. | ||

Given those two quotes I brought up re: Fecalfeast, it appeared that self-consciousness bled over here when Salty, prplhz, myself, etc were questioning the DT claim and could also be interpreted as him being worried how he looked to us. There were several instances. By themselves, it's not a problem, but when taken in context with the whole being self-conscious about appearance, it becomes a problem. It adds a layer of scumminess to how he's viewing things based on what he said to Fecalfeast. What are your thoughts? Or pretty much of the same opinion? | ||

And calling my case against him lazy is bullshit. I easily put more work into trying to figure out if JAT is town or not than pretty much any other case here. For the people who actually read my case does my case look at all like I am mafia? Shouldn't JAT be able to at least see the possibility of my case coming from a townie? Maybe I am just so tunneled in that almost everything I see from him starts to look scummy to me shrug. Anyway fuck it, would rather lynch boxer than fuba. ##unvote ##vote boxer I actually to answer your question have less of a problem with the case, I felt I debunked your case on him re: Artanis well I felt he honestly took all aspects into consideration prior to lynching Artanis. If you want to disagree fine, but that's where I stand. I don't understand some of your vote switches and both FF and I looked to you as if you didn't care who got lynched. We - or at least I - had a bigger problem with that. | ||

He does qualify with "depends..." but then that second sentence the way it's phrased is bad. Looking at the sentence alone, I'd be more inclined to dismiss against TMI if he'd said somewhere in there "if fuba is town...". But the other argument in VA's favour just looking at this sentence is that the hypothetical scum Mig would want a double lynch and the (previously discussed) point that a townie shouldn't take a risky chance where both could be town and wind up in lylo. I remember some random comment VA said about "mig train choo choo" but I didn't think too much of it then, might have to check how that came about. | ||

In ippo he didn't particularly scum read anyone and got called out by numerous people on night 1. This game he has made cases and appeared quite towny. Not to mention it would be another scum game in a row where I'd theorise his effort would be quite minimal. I'm assuming this question is aimed at me. Again my memory is offhand so I'd really need to look at the filter again, but I honestly did not remember his getting called out N1. I was disinclined to think he was scum based on Carnaval, the shitposting contrast is obvious, but in Ippo I thought he might have been cruising partially because of the inactives around him (yamato, vivax, etc.) prior to the track. If others did call him out then, I do stand corrected. | ||

If you do not trust that, I will inevitably flip soon and you can trust it then. I don't know about that. The downside with my reading FF is that I was hosting or co-hosting the 2 recent games he was mafia so I've never actually developed a natural read on FF when he was mafia. I have scumread FF when he was town in titantic 7 citing major gaps in his reads, and FF was scumread in Carol by myself and others prior to what was inferred as a green check on him. Those are just examples, but my point is I'm not sure your argument holds entirely there. All that said though I'm sure FF is town based on the information I have in front of me now, it wouldn't surprise me again if I was wrong since I haven't had a great track record reading him. | ||

Here's where I stand. BF is likely one of the two mafia remaining, and I stand by that especially given the last few points of contention within the last cycle. He didn't answer JAT as to why fuba was mafia when the time appeared to be there and I thought his response to JAT was poor when JAT unvoted him. You take that and on top of everything else said - the TMI, the voteswitching, etc. and he's the best play. Continuing... | ||

Yamato's pushes/comments - on FF http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=13#245 Checked around this quote, FF seemed to have a valid comment on the state of the game, so this is probably a random quip from yam. Certainly doesn't affect my current read on FF. - on prplhz http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=9#171 Yam's answer to prplhz seemed pretty evasive to me since he said he'll let marv do the reading, does not look like prplhz made anything of it, not immediately. Following comment by prplhz is a comment on JAT (presumably his tone) and then prplhz focuses on the entire claim business and JAT. Once Salty rescinds cc, he ultimately sheeps Salty based on what he felt the merits on the case. From the interactions alone, I think here say more about Yam than they do prplhz, esp since prplhz prioritised other issues in thread at that time so it's feasible he could have just let Yam slide if he missed it. So I’d say this alone won’t affect the town read I had on prplhz. - on BF (vote, etc, plus my walkthrough) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=7#131 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=13#249 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=21#407 (Note – already commented on these in my walkthrough and concluded that BF was guilty of TMI and thus mafia. My walkthrough starts on page 93.) - on JAT http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=7#134 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=18#358 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=19#368 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=19#375 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=20#399 (Also Mig’s case in case I missed something) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=84#1664 I looked at the interactions again comparing the JAT interactions with the ones for Marv and Artanis, whose alignments are already known. JAT had made the contention that he cannot control what Yamato said. To be fair Yam was all over the place with marv and Artanis as well, and his reasons for calling marv mafia, whilst existent, were very poor. So looking at JAT… Response to Yamato re: Artanis’ claim http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=84#1664 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=21#403 I’d say based on the above, JAT pretty much highlights between behaviour and meta why Artanis should be lynched and answers yam’s question easily. Looking at the course of the thread, he also illustrates the same problem to prplhz and a few others before making a massive post on the problems with a town Artanis claiming so early. So the answer itself is towny I would think but the only downfall here is why he doesn’t make a conclusion on yam’s alignment immediately asking these questions. The thing is, others questioned it, I think FF, prplhz, VA, etc were all in the thread, all at the same time, and he certainly didn’t push against any of them, nor objectively it would have been productive to do that, so he may have just been more focused on trying to push Artanis at this point for what he saw as a dubious claim. I looked at the key phrases Mig had issues with again from JAT’s perspective. The part about “what is your problem.” I re-read that statement a few times and you could interpret it for him to ask “what is your problem with the interactions” - at least to me it’s inferred based on yam’s previous question and the sentence immediately following it: “It should be apparent I don’t think the interactions….” etc JAT’s answer at least to me makes sense, why he didn’t pressure prplhz is another issue entirely but at least he answered that there was no need to do so or he didn’t think it was seriously scummy it warranted a followup. Also why did JAT ignore Yamato? I am reading JAT’s filter through page 5 and he focuses disproportionately enough on mostly Artanis though with some commentary on marv and mig, and whilst Artanis and marv are flipped town, the push on Artanis, again, was legit. JAT’s scumreading marv was explained by this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=26#509 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=26#519 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486819-i-still-cant-believe-its-not-themed-mafia?page=26#520 Namely behaviour that focused on marv’s views on Artanis, not Yamato. All in all, I think his focus on others for reasons he legitimately found them scummy, even if he was wrong – and doing so in conversation, which is the norm for him – probably took enough of his time he wasn’t really able to focus on Yamato. I mean if he really was just dithering around everyone I could understand this argument but in context of what he was focusing on and how he was doing it, I don’t think his ignoring Yamato makes him mafia. It was only when Salty drops the CC he actually looks to Yamato. Was Mig or marv realistically getting lynched at that time? It didn't look like that was happening. I get the part about him saying it was irritating but the "lynch the JK comment....smells" makes me think he's suspicious enough and I'm not sure with the way everyone was coalescing on yam (and I think he'd just afked at that point too) there wasn't much to push there either. | ||

Mig - was JAT actually present when the marv/yam stuff was going on? Or did that happen whilst he was afk? Maybe I have to read yet again (JAT’s long filter is tenuous lol) but if it happened before the counterclaim (or even after Artanis' initial claim) it would fall in line with JAT being so predominated by the whole Artanis thing he couldn’t comment or felt an honest need not to prioritise it. If it happened before Artanis's initial claim then you might have a valid point here. I know the scumread on marv was concurrent with the whole Artanis situation, given the reason but... | ||

In fact I would argue that me going against mig is the most pressure anyone in this game has applied so far btw. Totally dismissive. "no idea what your problem is". Maybe his problem is that he's mafia but JAT doesn't seem concerned. Consider that before and shortly after this JAT called myself/marv/artanis mafia. But he never discuss Yam at all, even during the marv/yam argument where they are both calling each other mafia JAT never comments. This is what it was all about but I had been missing the context of those interactions. | ||

And yes, it was right before the cc and I might have been afk (don't really remember) but I remember coming back to the cc and starting the whole Artanis train. Forget it. Just checked Yamato's filter again and I now see what you mean. Yeah I wouldn't have given a shit about that either especially not compared to the Artanis situation. | ||

The double jailkeeper post did happen, it was true, think that was actually Titanic 7 and he would appear to legit fear why it'd happen again. Mig not asking why night action resolution (or just resolving the concern) was more appropriate is scummy. | ||

I gut-felt that fuba was under pressure and decided that my vote would not get him killed, thus it'd be safe to put pressure on him too without actually killing him. I don't understand the logic here. You could have voted for anyone so that you would not get modkilled. How does fuba - or anyone - being under pressure - alone, make them scum? There are things such as pressure votes, but pressure votes generally have a purpose. So let me ask you this - putting into context your lack of time - if you had had the time to re-evaluate, what would (you have wanted) your vote on fuba to achieve? | ||

Re voting for fuba - I agree. He's using the lack of time as an excuse which was why I purposely re-phrased the question to see where his mentality was. The fact there's no response makes me think he's out of ideas (which I've seen happen as either alignment with people) or just not wanting to put information out there, the latter which is exclusively mafia. The issue with the spreadsheet issue is that BF at least judging by last game generally willing to have a go even when disadvantaged as mafia, not sure if you are aware but NSM10 he was giving it a go as mafia until one of the townies literally bullied him into conceding which (obviously) was out of order and earned that player (a vet) a 3 game ban. In this scenario, the bullying that occured in NSM10 is obv not happening but in any case I was more interested in seeing the purpose behind what he was doing, and not seeing the mentality or the ability to explain it is quite problematic from a town perspective. There needs to be a purpose. Also lack of original thought is generally a scum trait. So this is why I'm not treating his giving up as alignment indicative. I want to lynch him based on the points raised up through and including last cycle and of course today it's just gotten worse. | ||

What makes it potentially scum trait is that several things have been happening over the course of the game with boxer, and that read has been completely static with new information. If boxer is actually indeed town, VA actually could be mafia. I broached the idea of TMI with him, which becomes glaringly obvious given all the scum behaviour that's been weighted against him. So it raises the question why (aside from the JAT/BF argument that VA commented on as being town on town) or what else or what changes make him think he's town. | ||

If he wanted to save his team mate I assume he would have posted something arguing for why vayne is a better lynch instead of just voting vayne and afking. Voting and disappearing would actually make prplhz more suspicious if boxer flips mafia. Not to be persnickety but you are contradicting yourself here. Which do you actually mean? | ||

There is a lot to be learned in hindsight, and I think reading Half the Sky's and prplhz's posts from their perspectives can be useful if you want to learn a bit about how scum may want to play. Given that they were never under any serious threat I don't think it would be all that useful, but I do think that Half the Sky's posts from start to finish and prplhz's posts on day 1 are good examples of what to do to stay just under suspicion without attracting much attention or scrutiny. I know JAT spotted a weakness in my posts which I did catch on to and I knew I'd have to step it up in 3-2 lylo otherwise a good town player could corner me. But if you had any additional input for me I'd appreciate it. Only issue is that I know dick all how to play framer, not much better at blue sniping either, I assume you just frame the scummy lurkers just like a DT should check the scummy lurkers but of course everyone checks differently.... >_< I had zero clue JAT was tracker.
