Alright, but you clearly missed the point of what I said. Your reasons are seemingly based on whatever your specific ideals are for how Sulfurus played his game when in reality you don't know exactly how he played.

In all of your PoE analysis you essentially assume that Sulfurus does not bus anyone, and never townreads fellow scum mates so only those people omitted from most of his posting entirely must be scum. If you don't see why that's faulty even after Scott got lynched than by all means continue, but don't expect me or anyone else to listen to you any further.


Sulfur's first post about you was a town read. Sulfur scum leans on damdred several times. So you're still just making huge, sweeping, wrong generalizations about my POE. It's not important to me whether or not people listen to me. Not one person has responded to a single thing I said in my POE reads. I'm happy to lead a horse to water it's not my problem if it won't drink.

Trfel responded to your PoE reads and you only responded to one of his points.

I think my biggest issue with your PoE is essentially to me you are now calling me scum for precisely NO reason because nowhere have you actually looked into anything I have done, rather made weak and arbitrary conclusions about other players to rule them out:

sulfur's first post was scum reading and voting kickstart. Good knowing he's town. Also good knowing that we were lynching between town and mafia yesterday.

There is absolutely nothing to say Sulf doesn't bus right off the bat. Especially when you consider how quickly the vote came right off of him.

No other read in your PoE about Kickstart so apparently that one quick assumption is enough to call him town? Awful.

Thinking about it more, ruxxar is probably town and probably wound up on so many wagons because he is over thinking his first game. He probably discredited my geript read because he saw n00b do it first and thought it would be okay for him to do it. I think all of his scummy actions can be explained in a way that makes sense for town.


Why then if there are both scummy and towny reasons for his actions do you assume he is town based on this?

sulfur hard defended Rels and rux from trfel d1. This is very likely a case of sulfur defending town from town, which he also did with oats and Rels/n00b. If Trfel is mafia sulfur is not going to hard defend two townies from him.

You conclude from this that Trfel likely isn't mafia because of this, but that only makes sense IF ruxxar and Rels are BOTH town. Why can't Trfel be town and one of Rels/ruxxar be scum here?


Once again, the problem I have with your PoE is you base a lot of it on things that Sulf did when you can't 100% understand his motivations, and then there are other points where you just arbitrarily choose single reasons to townread people which on their own truly don't appear to be particularly strong. And even then, were you to continue to go back with this list and reevaluate it would probably be ok, but this PoE was literally proved wrong, and yet you still continue to use the same faulty rationale to justify scumreads on me and Damdred without looking any further (never mind not having any actual reasons to scumread either of us), and that's just shit.

I can't decide where I stand on this especially since I was still currently scumreading Damdred. I think I'm going to need to do a readthrough before going forward.

8 players left, so 6 town and 2 mafia.
There will be 5 town and 2 mafia after the night, and 3 town and 2 mafia if we mislynch again.

That gives us one more mislynch before LYLO. So if we can get down to three suspects, we should be okay.

I sort of feel like mafia is most likely between Rels, ruXxar, and Oatsmaster, though.

Batsnacks, I would appreciate some reasons why you are suspicious of Damdred and WaveofShadow other than POE. How does their play follow mafia motivations?

Here's the thing about that. Bats has been pretty wrong despite taking very strong stances twice now which on its own is pretty meh, but now the fact that he's continuing on with his apparent PoE scumread of me, nevermind Damdred despite the method being obviously faulty in the first place?
Something's up.

As far as your townread of Damdred I am definitely not sold on that. Reasons to afk aside, the times where he has been here he has been extremely content to take a backseat, rather than what you say about him leading.

##Vote: Damdred
I guess a lot of our difference in opinion on Damdred is because in my last few games with Damdred, I've always scumread him and I've always been wrong. While Damdred is certainly capable of being an incredible town leader, he doesn't always play to his capabilities.

Although town!Damdred is capable of playing better than he has in this game, his play reminds me of his town play, only there is less of it. And there are several smaller indicators that he is town, particularly his Day 2 voting.

VOTING ASIDE, because it's all most people seem to look at in this game (holy shit i sound like Oats. probably IS town)
Why is Damdred town? What have you seen from him that makes him look like town Damdred? Why have your past scumreads on him been wrong?

Give me something here.
My past scumreads have been wrong because I've expected Damdred to always play like he does in his best moments. Damdred is certainly a good player, but he doesn't always play to the very high level that he's capable of. (not to pick on Damdred, I'm rarely able to play to my best...)

Damdred and I have turned our last few games together into a yelling match, which is one of the main reasons I attributed to town losing those games. If Damdred were scum here, I would expect him to do the same, as it would be an easy way to sidetrack the thread and there's minimal risk for Damdred. Instead, he does this:

I'm trying something new here, I'm not going to,give top town trel a hard time about being not sure about me. Instead I'll try to work with and sheep today.

This plan is great
Which I don't really see coming from mafia!Damdred.

When Damdred is here, he seems to be willing to lead the thread.

Your bolded point is mostly meta-based, where you assume mafia Damdred will act a certain way even though meta is fairly easy to change in a case like this, and when you say starting a shit fight is at no risk to him when you're top town? Not really seeing how that's the case either.
I guess I don't really know what to expect from town!batsnacks. This is the first game I've seen batsnacks being this active and focused on serious reads.

And I wasn't always townread when Damdred had the ability to fight me. The past few games, I've always ended up looking worse for arguing with Damdred. While it's a meta read, and it's a meta read that is easily changed, it's not worth it for mafia!Damdred to do this and hoping that I comment on it, it's better for him to cause a huge argument and derail the thread.

I pasted 100% of my thought process regarding my POE. I even did a kind thing and cut and pasted it all into one convenient post with bullet points.

Rather than "hey bats do you have anything else?" or "bats your POE sucks please completely change all of your opinions and perspectives because I don't like them" or "bats is unreachable, I will just ignore him"

why not respond to anything I said with reason?

Yeah and since nothing has changed at all in your PoE even though you were clearly wrong on Scott, what I responded with originally still stands:

Yeah I've read your 'sulf did this, so town' posts and I'm not particularly enamored of them. I will admit I'm usually not great at reading newbies here so maybe that's why I don't feel like looking into his motivations will yield good results, but to assume that every time Sulf defended someone it makes them town seems a little suspect since there are other cases sulf didn't even comment on due to low activity.


I did not say that every time sulf defended someone it makes them town. I would take your responses more seriously if you were responding to things I actually said instead of making huge, sweeping, wrong generalizations about what I said. I said trfel is likely not mafia because sulfur defended rux and rels from him d1 and I said that oats is likely not mafia because sulfur scum read him for attacking n00b and Rels. That is not the same as townreading everyone that sulfur defended.
I just don't understand this argument. Newbie scum KNOW that their scumbuddies' arguments are wrong, so I don't see why they wouldn't defend townies from their scumbuddies' arguments. The alignment of the person making the argument doesn't matter if it's against town, scum knows that it's wrong.

The advice I have gotten from a very strong town player is to avoid POE reads most of the time, as they leave you susceptible for townreading people for weak reasons. Townreading Oatsmaster because Sulfurus pushed him is definitely a weak reason. Townreading me because Sulfurus townread the people I scumread is also weak.

ruXxar

Reasons ruXxar could be scum

1. Early on, ruXxar was slow to discuss people's alignments
+ Show Spoiler +
I think that ruXxar's post answering my question to Kickstart while saying why you shouldn't answer questions directed at others is scummy. Others have disagreed. This isn't about that.

The "at least that is what I think" pushes it over the top. I could see it as a joke, but then there's no reason to include the last sentence. It's either inherently contradictory or unnecessarily cautious.

Scum lean.


What I meant by the last sentence was that that was my number one assumption of why he made that statement.
I won't pretend to be a mind reader, but I find it strange that he throws out unsubstantiated claims like that.

So far kickstart is a scumlean for me.
He makes a few posts at the start that don't say anything. Fine, whatever.

Then he answers the question I asked to Kickstart. Then he comments on Kickstart talking about people not lying. Even here, he seems to be putting words in Kickstart's mouth (whether or not you accept his explanation). And only in the very last post, after I made a scum lean on him, does he actually say something about Kickstart's alignment.

He's commenting without thinking about people's alignments. That simply isn't a town mindset.

2. Early scumread of Kickstart feels forced

Wait....

So you are serious about your explanation for not answering a question directed at someone else, because it helps them answer the question if they are scum. But in saying this, you answered a question directed at someone else, your scum read?

This explanation is going to be good.


Yes my answer was serious.

I see now how that actually denied us information from kick start.
It was a mistake on my part to actually answer that question.


Can you please clarify, why are you scumreading Kickstart?


I didn't like his statement about not liking liars.

This whole game is based on the concept of deception.
If you don't like that aspect of the game, why are you here?
You might claim that you like hunting lying mafia,
But it's not a given beforehand what role you will be, so that doesn't make sense either.

I have no prior info about any of the players here, so he might have some personal conviction for why he said that, but to me it didn't seem like a genuine well thought through statement.

Here is where he clearly explains his scumread of Kickstart.

While this read is bad, I could still see it coming from town, except for this post:

Here, his first thought is that Kickstart made a wording error. And he provides a possible slight wording change that would make Kickstart's sentence align with ruXxar's own thoughts.

RuXxar said this before he scumread Kickstart.

Liers means if you say you are going to do something but don't when it comes to forum mafia. Also good job breaking one of my rules, you answered a question directed at me!
This is Kickstart's second post in the thread, after ruXxar had concluded that he was scumreading Kickstart.

RuXxar gave a potential explanation for someone's behavior as town, then scumread that person before waiting for clarification or any more posts from them. To me, it feels like ruXxar forced the read to fit in.

In the time before he goes to bed, all he did was his previously mentioned scum lean on Kickstart. And he didn't really talk to Kickstart when Kickstart was in the thread (about 10 minutes after he said he was scumreading Kickstart).

This give me a townlean on kickstart.
This is pretty weak for a townread, especially given that ruXxar was scumreading Kickstart earlier.

It's possible that ruXxar's initial scumread of Kickstart was to promote discussion. However, this doesn't make sense to me because ruXxar spent so many posts doing nothing and not providing reads. If he really wanted to promote discussoin, he would have been much more active and willing to provide reads instead of just commenting on things. Only the next day did ruXxar actually provide reads on people other than Kickstart.

5. Delay in responding to batsnacks' case on geript
+ Show Spoiler +
At the time when batsnacks posted about geript's supposed scumslip, ruXxar had been posting fairly regularly and had been for a few hours. Still, it took him 30 minutes and several of his own posts before he actually commented on this, and he switched his vote from batsnacks to geript. By this time, geript had six votes and batsnacks had three; ruXxar's vote moved this to 7 to 2.

RuXxar's reasoning is really bad, too. He doesn't say that batsnacks' argument is persuasive or accurate, and really doesn't offer any commentary about it at all. He just says that he was scumreading both batsnacks and geript, but batsnacks can't be bussing geript here. So why does this make batsnacks town? Why isn't this mafia!batsnacks trying to get town!geript lynched instead of himself?

Only later does ruXxar imply that batsnacks provided a convincing argument.

So first off.

I'm very disappointed that the night actually started 1 hour earlier than expected.
It didn't give me enough time to analyze batsnacks accusation even though it made sense when he posted it.
I can't tell you his reasons for doing so, but it felt like such an improvised and irregular post that I don't know what to make of it.
All game I had him as scum, and suddenly he makes this one move which totally breaks with his character so far.
I can't help but feel like i've been fooled.
I want to say that I should've stuck to my gut feeling and not be swayed so easily.

If I disregard that one action of his, then batsnacks is still my top scumread.
Why does he only now say that he was disappointed about the deadline being one hour earlier than he thought? Furthermore, in this post he's saying both that he wished he had more time to see through batsnacks' deception but he needs to ignore that post to scumread batsnacks. He's saying both that the post is good and that it's bad. This doesn't make sense.

6. Changing stance on Sulfurus
+ Show Spoiler +
First, ruXxar said that he didn't see anything alignment indicative from Sulfurus' filter (on Day 1). He even scumread geript partly for his scumread of Sulfurus.

During Night 2, ruXxar pointed out two of Sulfurus' posts that he didn't think came from a town mindset, and switched his read on Sulfurus to mafia.

Although I have to say, there's something that irs me greatly about his play.

What irks me is that sulfurs actions are so blatantly bad.
Attacking trelf, which to a lot of people is a townie, had such a low probability of working that I'd think no mafia would be stupid enough to try to use that as their defense.

In his last game he played he went against the grain and was actually town,
so from a meta standpoint his play makes sense sort of?

Still the associations between him and rels are too strong.

Scum
He's scumreading Sulfurus primarily because of an association with Rels. This allows ruXxar to lynch Rels and then not Sulfurus later, or to change his mind on Rels and then not switch to Sulfurus. There's no mention of the points that ruXxar brought up to scumread Sulfurus during Night 1.

From there, ruXxar changes his mind on Sulfurus and says that he is town.

Here's my reasoning on sulfur:

1. Sulfur under pressure of getting lynched tries to accuse townread trfel of being mafia, and hard defends Rels.
This play is so bad that I don't even think a bad mafia would make this play, but still it's possible.
2. After n00bking's epitaph where he recommended to lynch sulfur as #1, moosy went of the offensive.

On one hand he hard defends rel for god knows what reason,
Then he makes a terrible play that I don't think a mafia would do.

I want some second opinions in this.

Sulfurus is just plain scum lol. He's trying to play like he usually does but the role of a Mafia teammate is interfering with his play.

You have no choice but to agree looking at how everyone is voting against them and there's too much evidence against them.


3. I then push really hard on sulfur to get his thoughts on Rels. He STILL didn't want to change his view on Rels and vote for him.
If he was mafia scum, and the #1 suspect by n00bking. Would he not also vote for rels to try to clear his name? Any sane mafia person would.

4. If I were mafia together with with sulfur, and our only chance of winning was to bus Rels as the first lynch target, would I not instruct my mafia teammate to also vote on Rels?

I can only conclude that Sulfurus is Town

Why is ruXxar only thinking about bussing?

Furthermore, this argument just doesn't make sense. If Rels is town, it falls apart completely.

When ruXxar changes his read on Rels, he doesn't revisit Sulfurus at all.

8. Jumped around a lot and posted a variety of thoughts Day 1 through Night 2, then stopped
+ Show Spoiler +
It's generally scummy to keep changing a read for no reason. But if someone does it all the time, it's possible that they just play like this. It's not bad, it just means that you have to look at the bigger picture for mafia motivation.

I've been generally ignoring the fact that ruXxar's reads keep changing all the time. However, over the course of Day 3, his reads stayed relatively constant. He's not being crazy and jumping on everything, he was basically just suspicious of scott31337, Oatsmaster, and sometimes Damdred throughout the day. Not many read switches at all.

It makes me feel like ruXxar is mafia and got too lazy to keep constantly changing his reads, he saw the lynch on town and let it sit there. This is shown because he initially said that Oatsmaster is scum and scott31337 is town, but when the scott31337 wagon didn't move, he switched to scott31337 and then sat there for the rest of the day.


Reasons ruXxar could be town

1. Joined the push onto batsnacks as the second vote
+ Show Spoiler +
While ruXxar didn't do anything to actually promote discussion or push anything for the first day, he did start the next day with a push on batsnacks. These actions are consistent with his words.

2. Generally willing to make his opinions clear
+ Show Spoiler +
First with his scumread of batsnacks, then by following that up to scumread geript.

3. Very active

The last two points are simple and general, but they shouldn't be underestimated.

I don't feel completely sure, but it does feel like ruXxar is reasonably likely to be mafia here. It's not that hard for mafia to provide clear reasoning, the hard part is for the reasoning to be sensible, deal with scumbuddies nonchalantly, and to be consistent enough to be understood. And ruXxar is active and clear, but his play shows faults with regards to these things.

Would like to see ruXxar's response.

WaveofShadow

I've only played with WaveofShadow once before, in Noir Mini Mafia Chapter 3. I was town, and he was scum. We caught him Day 2, and I helped with that.

I caught him mostly for commenting and sharing suspicions but not actually pushing his reads, and for having his pushes not line up with his words. So I'll be looking primarily at how his words and actions line up.

His first major scumread was geript.

Too scummy to be scum is a poor metric. Geript absolutely can be (and likely is) mafia here.
WaveofShadow made several other posts on geript. He seemed truly interested in pushing geript, and his filter has a clear direction.

While geript wasn't providing large amounts of new content, WaveofShadow was reading and responding to geript.

I like your 'everyone is town' list. Especially the part where you exclude me from it.
This is a clear difference from WaveofShadow's play in Noir Chapter 3 (as scum).

His suspicion of n00bKing wasn't pushed, but he provided an insightful reason for removing his scumread of n00bKing (that newbie mafia would stop doing the thing that was getting them scumread, while only newbie town would keep doing it).

Went through geript's filter. His move off moosy and onto sulfurus was weird to me. He just said "id rather lynch you" in this thread, then voted in the other thread, and hasn't mentioned it at all. strange.

Why is that weird
However, this is something I noticed WaveofShadow do as scum. He scumreads someone, and then says why someone else's reasons for scumreading that person are wrong. This doesn't make much sense from a town perspective.

In addition to geript, (and excluding n00bKing), WaveofShadow showed suspicion towards Sulfurus and batsnacks. When he changed his read on geript (for a weird reason, see here), he was fairly early to suggest that batsnacks was town, and voted for Sulfurus. Even though his explanation for unvoting geript isn't very convincing, I don't see scum voting for Sulfurus here while saying that batsnacks (the other wagon at the time) is town. With only these two wagons, and batsnacks being in the lead, this play doesn't make sense. The last thing scum wants to do on Day 1 is to bus.

And when WaveofShadow returns the next day, he does push the Sulfurus lynch.

Would not lynch above Sulf though. Nothing redeeming about that guy whatsoever. Might sheep Trfel too. Really liking him this game.

I also remember Damdred and Scott pinging my radar for some reason---something along the lines of not knowing where they stand but I think scott sort of addressed it. Damdred who do YOU want to lynch today aside form 'not batsnacks?'

He also keeps saying that Rels is tunneled on Plant's only post and he basically dismisses the rest of his filter when in fact it's really good and shows a town who is focused on trying to solve the game.


This is bold. Why does mafia post this?

'Cause he's about to be lynched.
Come on, bats.

I'm fine with Sulf and Rels being the wagons for now. I'll keep my vote where it is for the moment. We should try and consolidate closer to deadline though so no room for last minute solo switches

I do find it odd that WaveofShadow wasn't around for the two hours before the deadline, but he did hint at the possibility that he wouldn't be online. I missed that earlier.

WaveofShadow scumread Sulfurus and Rels on Night 1, and followed up with a vote on Sulfurus early in Day 2. He continued to actually push Sulfurus. Assuming that Rels is town (which could very well be false...), I don't see why mafia!WaveofShadow would bus Sulfurus instead of voting for Rels when Rels had five votes. The Rels wagon looked solid (this was before Rels started his extreme activity thing), and WaveofShadow had scumread both of them.



I'm getting sleepy now, I can't finish this tonight. But WaveofShadow pushed Sulfurus very aggressively, at times when mafia wouldn't need or want to bus. Furthermore, the way he pushed his scumreads through the first half (or so) of Day 2 is vastly different from his play as scum (Noir Chapter 3). I find it very hard to see WaveofShadow being scum here.

ruXxar

Reasons ruXxar could be scum
Would like to see ruXxar's response.


1. Early on, ruXxar was slow to discuss people's alignments:

I don't see how your quotes back up that statement.
All of those quotes are from the first few pages of the game, and then there's even a scumlean in there.

My reads so far this game has been :

Mafia:
# Kickstart scum,
# Bats scum,
# Moosy medic
# Geript scum (I read his filter before the battrap and I already found it lacking. It was easy for me to sheep bats at that point)
# n00bking town,
# Trfel town,
# Rels scum,
# Moosy scum baiting as medic,
# kickstart scum,
# oatsmaster and scott scum.
# scott town
# wave town
# batsnacks town
# kickstarter town

Probably not correct order,but accurate enough.

To say I haven't been out there putting my neck on the line and making alignment statements is wrong.
I used exactly that argument against Moosy first time around when I accused him of being wishy washy and non committal.

2. Early scumread of Kickstart feels forced

Again an argument from the first 5 pages of the game, you read too much into it.

3. Keeps saying he wants more thread activity, but does nothing about it

First off, my filter is twice as long as yours.
Second off, if you read my filter you can see that I've actually been pushing the thread all game, not afraid to throw out new thoughts, trying to spotlight players I feel have been getting an easy pass.
Whenever I've had an opinion I've thrown it out there, even to the point of making me look wishy washy sometimes because I make new realizations minutes after I post them, and most of the time they even contradict my previous thoughts.
I'm not afraid to make pushes on people that other considered towny based on my own interpretation of the situation.
I don't need other peoples arguments to make a push, I make them myself.

When I say that I'm going to bed, it usually means I'm going from my computer to my bed, and start reading on my phone.
And yes, I don't push equally as strong every day. I have a day job that requires my attention and sometimes the thread is simply at a standstill and you've run out of ideas.

I find this argument to be very weak also.

4. Switches read on Kickstart for a weak reason:

I actually went through geripts filter and came to the same conclusion that he did.
Admit it, geripts filter was weak, and going through the filter I came to the same realizations that kickstart did.

Besides the first statement about liars from kickstart, he did nothing else that made me feel he was more scummy.
Again, you read too much into the first few pages of the game.

5. Delay in responding to batsnacks' case on geript

I think this makes perfect sense.
My top two scumreads were bats and geript.
I did not think bats would bus his own teammate.
This makes bats seem town.

I don't see how this logic is hard to follow.

6. Changing stance on Sulfurus

So this is probably the most damning evidence against me, my alignment with sulfurus.

Yes, I was wrong on sulfurus. My mentality was that his plays were too obviously bad to be scum.
As you say this argument falls apart if Rels is town, which I actually realized in a later post

Despite that, I still clung onto the fact that sulfurus was town.
Even if the evidence was right in front of me, i had somehow locked away the thought of re-evaluating sulfurus, due to my earlier conviction.
That's a terrible mindset to have from my side, but that's how I thought at that point.

Combine that with the fact that he'd been talking good about me all game, he actually did an excellent job in converting me to his side.
I don't know if that was his plan, but I have to commend him for it, and slap myself hard for falling for it.

7. Inconsistency with regards to the implication of Sulfurus' flip on Rels' alignment

Let me explain.
After the flip on sulfurus, my head was in a disarray.
Everything I had believed in so hard had just fallen apart.
At this point im scrambling to try to make sense of things.

So I put Rels on that list because the only reason I could think of that made sense with sulfurus flipped, was that rels was town. Which comes from the realization I had in point 6 above.

Then I later reevaluate and think that I must've been overthinking and that sulfur was actually just defending his scum teammate all along which I outlined in this post:

Here's my thoughts.

People were voting on sulf day one.
Trfel makes a case on rel.
Sulf calls rels his best town read and sticks too it all game.

End of story.

I used to believe in the too obvious too be scum theory.
I don't anymore.

By day 2, tell me who else you would find suspicious besides scott, oats and possibly damdred?

You can't deny that oats and scott were looking the worst, you even said it yourself and almost everyone agreed on the point that either of them were scum.
So this point applies to pretty much everyone on day 2.
You call me lazy, but I made cases against oats and scott and I mentioned damdred multiple times.

I actually thought that Scott was mafia. But then I looked at his day 1. And I had to agree with moosy, it actually looked very towny.

Yup Scott is town and Rels is mafia.



I later changed my mind on scott since I didn't like his defense when pressured.

If something is unclear or you feel I didn't adequately respond to a point, please ask and I will clarify any questions you have.

I'm very happy to have an open discussion of where we go from here.

This is my current read list:

#Trfel: town.
#wave: town. He did make some weird posts lately though, not sure what to read into that.
#damdred: uncertain, I pegged mostly his inactivity, but he said he had internet outage so I don't know.
#batsnacks: town.
#kickstart: town.
#Rels: uncertain. He puts in a lot of effort though, which I like.
#Oats: scum although I don't know why sulfurus would try to make a case against him, not sure here.

I'll be re-evaluating some posts from the last day and try to create some talking points.

From actually thinking through what I wrote up above, it could make sense that Rels is mafia.

I'll make an evaluation on him to see if I can put together a solid case based on his actions.
After I'm done with that I'll be giving you my clear stance on Rels.

I'm doing this as much for my own sake, to get all my thoughts in order. I need to clear out my head on the Rels/sulfur association.

I replaced into Newbie Mini Mafia LX Mafia Vanilla Survived Day 3 and Half the Sky carried us into that game - I posted a case and the town had no clue who to vote and GG'ed it out - flawless
Newbie Student Mafia VIII Mafia Godfather Survived Day 3 - Holyflare replaced into this and he's one of the most respected mafia players here I look up to - no mafia died 3-0 as well.
Newbie Student Mafia IX Town Vanilla Lynched Day 1 - I woke up to a wagon on me but had a lot to do lynch day and only had about 30 minutes to post my thoughts - I was town but after my mislynch town got themselves figured out and lynched mafia. I won this game as well.
Newbie IX - My internet shit the bed and was partying the night before so I was unable to get to a wifi connection before I was already lynched - was RB - lost
Holy Guardians - I was town and we were pretty lost until Day 4 - I was voting on a town and town Damdred saved the say for wanting to change the lynch when if he was mafia it was all over - we lynched Mafia and the game was almost in the bag- just had to convince town VE - it didn't work but was my best town experienced game - lost

That's not the question.

Did you have a coach in newbie IX as town ?


I did but I had real life issues and was unable to use it.

How is that relevant to this game? I read it as he still hasn't had a town coach even in this game. Why did you read it differently?

I wanted to make an analysis on rels/sulfur, but I couldn't find anything.

Imagine for a second, that Rels fell for the same thing that I did.
This follows along the logic that batsnacks outlines which led to both me and Rels actually reading sulfurus as town.

In that case I can understand both me and Rels defending sulfurus on day 2.
What I can't understand is how oats master kept his vote on kickstart over sulfurus.
Look at this votecount at the end of day 2:

Oh fish ul Votecount
ruXxar (0): batsnacks, Damdred
Rels (0): MoosyDoosy, Scott31337, ruxXar, Damdred, kickstart, batsnacks, trfel
Sulfurus (7): WaveofShadow, Kickstart, Damdred, WaveOfShadow, batsnacks, MoosyDoosy, Trfel, Scott31137
MoosyDoosy (0): ruXxar
kickstart (2): WaveofShadow, Rels, ruXxar, trfel, Oatsmaster, Scott31137,
Oatsmaster (1): sulfurus

-----------------------------

Do you not see something suspicious here?

Sulfurus is voting for oats, yet oats is voting for kickstart.
So I wanted to see the reason for why oats is voting on kickstart.


First, i wanted to look at sulfurus / oatsmaster association.
This is what I found:

Oatsmaster expresses his desire to lynch sulfurus:

btw we still have like a day lol.

if bats flips town, ill be going after sulfurus.

I'm scum reading sulfurus because you are sleeping people onto bats, means you don't really tthink bats is mafia, but your town reads do so you value their opinion over yours.

Bats isn't gonna shit up the thread lol, that's an empty threat.
I was totally right about geript switching off moose btw. I think geript is easily mafia.




Here oats claims that sulfu was really obvious mafia:

It's not for town cred. It's for not looking like mafia when sulph eventually flips. Which clearly worked to you anyway.
Sulph was just so obvious man. If you ignore voting analysis, what else makes him town?


Here oats says he's really against the kickstarter lynch:

I really dont like this kickstart lynch, its coming up super fast and everyone is supporting it.
What happened to lynching ruxxar? I thought that was pretty good.
or damdred.

On June 16 2015 10:17 Oatsmaster wrote:
Kickstart is pretty damn obviously town and him not doing anything doesn't really diminish his start. Like this is a super easy lynch for scum to push because Kickstart 's attitude sucks and a pretty predictable response will come.

Let's lynch ruxxar instead.

On June 16 2015 10:18 Oatsmaster wrote:
Seriously why the hell is kickstart a better lynch.
Can someone like trfel give me one reason that doesn't include the words activity and promises.



Yet somehow, he stayed the course and voted on kickstarter?
Something doesn't add up here.

Later claims that I could've been a bus

I really dont think anyone should be given a townread for that lynch without kickstart flipping.

Sulph looked really bad the whole game, it might just have been a bus.

Also, both sulph and kickstart expressed an interest in lynching me.

Which is really weird.

Scott switched really late, like 10 minutes before the deadline and you guys are calling him town?!??

Also if you look at the votes, not counting wave who actually took his vote off of sulfurus and onto me for a short time, I am the first vote onto sulfurus. So the idea that I bussed him for cred makes even less sense because I was the first one on him this day cycle and indeed the first one to say I was suspicious of him at the start of the game.

Yeah you don't know the concept of bussing.



Why does he mention bussing?
Well because he wants people to think that all the mafia are amongst the guys voting on sulfurus, so as to remove suspicion from himself who stayed on kickstart.
Which either means that Rels is mafia, or that there actually is 1 mafia voting on sulfurus.

Add that together with these two comments

And him trying to deflect away from sulfurus:

moosy, you rather lynch rels than sulf today right?


And if you add together ALL of this "Hey lets kill" or "Hey this guy is mafia" posts:

Oats is so scummy here and should never have been allowed to live to this point. He is just starting shit fights and calling every single player in the game scum with 0 reasoning and then peacing out or telling every person who makes any point whatsoever that their point is bad or doesn't make sense while he himself gets hung up over the most useless things. Like this 'scumslip' he keeps going on about. It clearly wasn't a fucking scumslip because the guy flipped town so why the fuck oats is so hung up on it is beyond me, besides it being the new thing he can shit up the thread and argue with someone about without actually contributing in any way. If he turns out to be town he has been fucking useless and should feel bad.
