I'm not sure if the regular slots are allowed coaches and I likely have more experience than the coaches-to-be, but that doesn't mean I'm not shit. | ||

Ehhh. I'm not very good at coaching tbh. Mostly I'm still looking to improve my town game (an exercise in futility most likely) by trying to find a play style or method that actually works, but so far everything has been a bust for me. You'd think after 3 ish years on the site I'd have something to show for it. | ||

It's such an odd and terrible post I don't think it can come from anything BUT town but then again I've never seen even the newbiest noob town post anything like that. Would still lean town over scum on that pretty easy. Batsnacks is meh, but I like Oats' posting around him. Something feels there to me. Any thoughts on the Trfel/ruxxar/kickstart bullshit?

You don't see anything wrong with him first pinpointing moose as scum, then coming up with an excuse to having voted (without admitting to it being a lure when I prodded him, despite me still assuming as such) later on when it contradicts his entire point of voting in the first place? Even were you to ignore that, there's an inherently bigger problem with his logic surrounding the mafia going after moose. Maybe if you think about it for a minute you can figure it out but I'll give you a hint: only scum would be thinking this way. | ||

Stop actually being clear in your motivations and playing the game well for once it's fucking with my head And yes for the record noob has been upgraded from scum tier to 'meh' tier because I'm not sure I believe he as scum would be so ballsy to continue posting the way he has, though my fear of being wrong on newbies prevents me from bringing him higher just yet. | ||

His opener was an awful post 2. *If* he's town, then mafia would normally be all over that shit 3. He's likely mafia because of both bad post and the fact that no one is jumping all over that shit Yet, you've twisted this into: Moose is town. Mafia should be jumping all over him. Geript is jumping all over him. Geript is mafia. The thing about it is though that I didn't even push that shit hard. Like I didn't make a big case or stink about it when I easily could have. I made like a handful of posts on him which like half of them have been in response to you. Rather I've been pretty succinct on him and pretty meh. I can't even understand how you're approaching the game at all Wave. So esplain where you're at and why you're there. It's the pretty succinct and pretty meh that made me think it was a bait by you in the first place. I didn't understand how you could have voted him and then complain about scum not having voted him. You just explained it perfectly and even showed that you understand exactly where I'm coming from, minus the whole 'you massively contradicted yourself' thing, which is so egregious it makes laugh. | ||

He asks a question that's essentially a statement. He meanders through potentially interesting topics while giving no opinion on anything. Then he plays the dumbtell card. It's a big post that literally offers nothing while commenting on things in a way that confer a formed opinion. It almost can be boiled down to: "I've been thinking about this game, but I won't really comment on it at all. What do you guys think about this random stuff?" I don't see even newer town players do that often. And as I said it's precisely this that makes me think it's unlikely to come from scum. There are some good scum ways to play the newbie town card, and this certainly isn't one of them in my opinion. I'm out for now. A bunch of you need to be useful while I'm gone. | ||

Geript might not be scum. At the very least I give him more time. Especially since nobody seems to want to comment on what I've brought and those who have have been completely noncomittal. Givin' me the jibblies. ##unvote: Geript Trfel's posting looked pretty good at first glance. Liked the stuff he picked up on Rels. I want to do a once-over just to see any surface similarities between here and the last game I played with him (I think I was scum in that one) and see if anything jumps out at me either meta- or otherwise. Sulf still looks like ass balls. Probably primary lynch for me right now. ##Vote: Sulfurus On June 13 2015 08:24 Sulfurus wrote: To start off I think n00bKing is the towniest person in this game period. Almost all of his posts are there to benefit town with either advice or very good questioning and again I think his reasoning on ruXxar is spot on (and much better then what Kick has said). So fmpov this make ruXx look really good and bats/kick look terrible (ruxx has also done a lot since that looks really towny in my eyes whereas kick and bats haven't). Moving on there is also the whole conflict between Wave and Geript caused by his shitty read on Moosy (which was sheeped by Bats even though geript himself has changed his mind). I think this interaction makes Wave look pretty good and bats once again doesn't however he has since changed his vote to Rels. Speaking of which the reason he is even voting Rels is because of a read by Trfel (looking back he was also one of the first to push scum on ruXx). So they may not be the strongest town reads on those I called town but I think you guys are right and bats really is playing differently this game. ##Vote: Batsnacks Like what IS this? Reiteration of stuff I already said, townreading me for no explained reason, opportunistic bats vote after being completely noncomittal about it earlier, and also while possibly attempting to pocket noob? I dunno somebody mentioned that Sulfurus' meta is to post kinda shitty but I can honestly say I don't care about that here. Scummy posting is scummy.

Yuuuppppp Loving Moosy for this really. For the record I believe 'wishy-washy' on its own is a horrible scumtell. It's completely circumstantial and Moosy's play is pretty consistent although his continued attempts to purposefully draw attention to how inexperienced he is is starting to annoy me. We get it Moose, you're new. Just play the game now. The pressure batsnacks is under brought Rels to the surface. I don't know if anything more needs to be said on him consider how opportunistic his vote was even after pressure seemed to be dying down a little, but now he looks like scum who got caught with his pants slightly down and is being forced to stick to his guns while at the same time looking for a way to get off a possible town wagon.

I am not sure I agree with lynching sulfur today though I like a couple points but I'm not sure Aside from Trfel just now, I think the entirety of the case to lynch Sulf at this point is 'why not?' And I can't think of a reason why not. Geript could just be playing a weak game right now. I had to sit back and think about with his ridiculous contradiction early game actually makes him scum and whereas normally one would think scum would be way too careful to make that mistake, I feel like geript has shit the bed before in a scumgame we played together but I'm too lazy to go back and look it up. If I'm wrong geript you have my permission to yell at me. One of the things he recently posted about there not being any vets on the scumteam struck me as odd because I don't feel 'good' about any of the vets in this game including you, so I'm not sure how he does. I'm not even sure how he felt good enough about me after our argument (I do get 'feels,' but usually geript can and does explain his reads on me better). Also random point? Where is Kickstart? Guy blasts out the gate and was the first to vote the likely lynch for today but I don't remember him doing anything in a while. | ||

I don't know that the result of the Day would have been ANY different (because my attempts to defend geript did not get a single person to move their vote off of him yet, and in fact 2 more people moved their vote ONTO him after I tried to defend him) but it's "still kinda lame." Anyway, we're stuck with it, so I'm gonna let it go for now, and just move on. Well, I would again backreference this post: This is why I was disappointed to see the surge against geript ignite (aside from the fact that batsnacks' reasoning against him was garbage), because I felt like we had a REAL reason to think that one of the two original vote leaders was scum. I still feel that way now. As far as which of them is MORE likely to be scum, and which of my town reads become stronger based on the result of the lynch, I should re-read a few things first, and get back to you later. I agree with this but I think there was also a decent chance Geript was scum outside of the supposed 'slip' and you could see that people were attempting to coordinate or starting to rally around the idea before Batsnacks' post. The question is, did scum see an easy out once he posted and jump on or ignore it entirely? At this point I'd go with the easy out option. I still see absolutely no reason why Sulfurus isn't scum here. AND him and Rels still looked scummier than Geript at the end of the day so some close evaluation is necessary.

Just ass-kissing of the worst degree, over emphasis on how his read developed and how bats was 'redeemed' when plenty of us found him townier way earlier.

And even then, I still don't follow how that made moosy's post bad. And AND, what's the point of all this? Do you believe scum team is rels/bats/sulf and Geript caught them all? | ||

Batsnacks Play fits previous town play exactly. I don't see any way in hell he pulls off that geript stuff as scum for multiple reasons, including but not limited to risking him looking like balls after the flip, or drawing further attention to those 'scum-mates' he would have apparently tried to save. I just don't see it. Moosydoosy For all of the reasons I've stated previously. Moosy's play has just been extremely consistent with a very new player overall. Yes it is POSSIBLE scum can replicate this, but not without messing up somewhere down the line and certainly not with this level of activity. (The caveat here which might have to be looked into eventually that I find kind of interesting is this 'bait' he pulled off recently. Is a Moosy who is so nooby as to not realize geript flipped town for example, able to pull off a play like that? Food for thought, but not tomorrow.) Trfel Extremely solid play throughout the entirety of D1. Great case on Rels who we should still be lynching. Probably got caught up in geript shenanigans but maybe worth a look into. RuxxarFor reasons previously stated. Do not agree with nooby even though it is possible it was all some sort of setup. Needs to stop talk about setup though and actually play this game properly to avoid stupid shit like what he pulled. NoobkingAlso needs to stop talking about setup because it gets us absolutely nowhere. The most experienced of the apparent new players, but as often focused on completely irrelevant matters. When he does scumhunt it is in incredible detail and he is also pretty prominent in thread. Not as big a fan as I was earlier on in the game when I first townread him but still town. Kickstart I think the problems here have been adequately summarized. He might be worth a vig shot or a check (cop obviously do whatever you want here) because as soon as he was universally townread he left the thread completely and more importantly everyone forgot about him for a long time. Pressure and/or removal likely necessary. Oats I still lean townish on him because of his early play but he has fallen off immensely. This is alignment non-indicative for him though, but when he HAS been here he hasn't shown anywhere near the degree of effort shown before. I don't treat him the same as Kickstart here (who i'm leaning to the scum side on) because Kickstart started way higher and fell way further. Damdred Just not even remotely what I'd expect from a player of his calibre. And I'm actually saying that here because he is probably the best player currently in this game. Very little effort, not amazing scumhunting. That being said he has been on the same page as me a lot this game which is a good sign, and I mostly liked his 'late night reads' post. He just needs to do more of it, especially if he's town and I get shot tonight. If he doesn't do more, he is likely coasting on his ability to try when attention is brought up and doesn't actually care what's happening in thread = scum. Scott Some analysis, but also looking through his filter a lot of jabs and questioning that leads absolutely nowhere (feigning useful activity??) It feels as though he's attempting to figure out the game when around but liek many in the thread there's not a lot to go on. Need a lot more from him to cement things either way. Rels Probably scum? The points brought up against him are still pretty damning though circumstantially I wonder how likely it is that we had two scum on the block D1 before the geript shenanigans. Still the scummiest of the lot aside from Sulf, so re-evaluate as necessary after Sulf lynch. Sulfurus Lynch with fire tomorrow. I've called him out, geript called him out, he has still accomplished absolutely nothing warranting a townread. Shows up sporadically to attempt to deflect but does not actually contribute meaningfully. Lynch target for tomorrow is Sulf. Do not stray the course ladies and gents. As far as the entirety of the team, anyone from the null list could apply here, and it's also possible I am wrong on one of my townreads, but only one. We didn't have an amazing start but we can easily recover from this. Scumhunting was really strong D1 we just have to keep it up as a whole and keep activity up. | ||

I'm reading a lot of not-so-great-play and misinformation over the past few pages. To begin with, shit like this: On June 15 2015 04:28 ruXxar wrote: Then: I want to know what specifically made you change your opinion on sulfurus and damdred. I have a voice in the back of my head telling me there's a triangle connection between sulfurus, rels and damdred. Sulfurus for his hard defense on Rels when he was attacked, and other arguments i made earlier. Rels for his fake claims that he wants to vote for either damdred or sulfurus, but those are just empty words to make them seem not connected, then switches over to a townread on both. Damdred for supposedly being the best player in this game, yet not perfoming anywhere near his usual town game potential as recognized by other players.

First post of his. Next to last to enter the thread. Just fluff on the first paragraph. What is really scum is the second paragraph. Two points: - He enter the thread late and feels he needs to post an excuse. To me, he had the mindset of entering the thread without saying anything, and apologizing so people like him. - His excuse is false. We all had to confirm yesterday, so that's not possible that he did not check TL the last couple of days, or that he believed that someone else took his spot. Then he tries to switch the case onto me-geript-batsnacks which is the next best scapegoat from a newbie who only posted once and never again. Not only that, but notice how he attempts to bring this under the light while trying to cover for Sulfurus who is beginning to become suspected. + Show Spoiler + On June 13 2015 07:29 Rels wrote: I have strong town reads on wos and KS.

I don't like moosy for : - his first post - his multiple times stating he is a newbie But geript's reasoning for voting him is super bad. And batsnacks' one is so weird, involving double bus at one point. Well. Here is my brain atm.

Like I was saying you kept repeating that you were newb. Actually it's not true. I still have two things left in my suspicion of you, so could you please comment on them. First point You don't take any stand. Not against me nor anyone else. More than that, a few hours ago, you discussed people you wanted to make a case on but you're still undecided. In particular what is this post: I hate that you are giving him targets on the basis of "you only need to convince two guys for those targets". Almost look like you want him to make a case, join him, and push the blame on him later. I also hate this sentence: "Sulfurus looks easiest is you want to make a case." Go make one yourself if you're so confident. Plus, you make this post to the guy voting you. Really, I liked your filter way than expected, but I hate this post. Second point I find it weird that you say the following: newbie must be on mafia team, because otherwise they would have pushed on my first post. I find it weird that you felt the need to say it, against a super weak attack ("mafia should have pushed this post and didn't so moosy is mafia", more or less). Here are the posts I'm talking about: After this, he leaves the thread for a bit and posts a list of people he suspects in order to pretend to be active. Then WaveofShadow, Oats, and me begin to defend batsnacks whereupon a case begins to form around geript and Sulfurus. Rels decides upon lynching geript and not Sulfurus. Note that before this he is also defending Sulfurus by saying he played the same way in "the previous game". However, batsnacks provided several examples where Sulfurus was providing better critical analysis whereupon Rels is forced to remain quiet. + Show Spoiler + On June 13 2015 20:59 Rels wrote: Alright I have to go. I will check from my phone from time to time. For now my vote is on geript. May switch to Damdred if he keeps on lurking. If nobody changes vote and I have to choose between the two wagons I'll vote Sulfu. ##Vote geript As Trfel already pointed out, Rels also does not really seem to support this vote as he already knows who Mafia REALLY is. + Show Spoiler + On June 14 2015 01:27 Rels wrote: Yo geript. If you ever remember that reason I'll be super interested, as I hated plants' only post. Please answer this post: And from this point, Rels disappears, never addresses Trfel's point and he never really answered any other questions as well. I'm curious to see his response when he comes back although I believe a strong case can be made against both Rels and Sulfurus as a team of Mafia. No. Bad. Preflip associations just create confirmation bias, and having everyone circle jerk around Sulf and Rels all day regardless of how scummy they are isn't going to go places, especially if one flips town. People have picked Rels to begin with, and that's fine, but there are 3 scum, and if rels/sulf are the first two, the third has been doing a fucking amazing job of dodging us so far. This isn't a criticism so much as it is a reminder to keep updating your reads and think as critically as you can. For example, I still have a not-so-great feeling about both Rels and Sulf being scum based on my 'last will' post even though they are both scummy. They are both fairly inactive in thread comparatively and therefore easy to create wagons on, AND I think in all my extended history of mafia on this site I have NEVER seen D1 mafia vs mafia wagons. That doesn't mean it's impossible, but it does mean we have to sit back and think. More to come. | ||

On June 15 2015 06:59 n00bKing wrote: Yay, deadline! Can finally post this monster. I typed this up like 4 hours ago, and have had to sit on it all day. I have to say though, the posts that have been made since then have not really made me reconsider any of what I'm posting here. WALL OF TEXT TIME! I don't particularly expect to be killed tonight. But just in case that happens, here's where my thoughts are at. Briefly, let's consider what it means if I do get killed. There was one post I made that I backreferenced twice, and is probably the post that would be most strongly associated with me. It was this one: I didn't have any luck whatsoever trying to get geript out of the noose, and some players (like damdred and batsnacks) have been saying that a lot of my posts can just be safely ignored. Based on all that, I don't think the scum players would kill me, to make it look like they were trying to silence me, to FRAME one of Sulfurus/batsnacks, if they were both actually town. Rather, the scum team would only kill me if my Theory was indeed correct, and one of Sulfurus/batsnacks IS scum. So remember, if the scum team kills me, the Theory is correct. We already know that I still think the Theory is correct, and I've mentioned some possible teammates for batsnacks (damdred, Moosy) if he is the bad guy in this scenario. And I said that I also had some ideas in mind about who could be possible teammates for Sulfurus, if he is the bad guy in this scenario. So here goes. If Sulfurus is scum, my best guess for a teammate of his is ruXxar. And my second-best guess is Rels. Trying to catch the entirety of a 3-man scum team before anyone flips red might be a fool's errand, but there are a lot of interesting things to note, about the interactions (and sometimes, lack of interactions) between these 3 players. Most of all, they do not speak to each other directly, they just speak OF each other indirectly. This could be because all 3 of them are on the Newbie list. A couple of them may be playing as scum in Mafia-by-forum for their very first time. And they may be trying to avoid talking with each other, because they question their ability to make the conversation seem authentic, rather than fabricated. Sulfurus has not made any posts where he is speaking directly to ruXxar OR rels. None. NONE! Nor has ruXxar made ANY posts where he is speaking directly to Sulfurus. Rels has made only 1 post where he is speaking directly to Sulfurus, and has made 2 posts where he is speaking directly to ruXxar. ruXxar has made only 1 post where he is speaking directly to Rels, and that was a post where he is answering a question that Rels has posed to him. But although these guys don't ever talk to each other, they talk ABOUT each other plenty. If you look through their respective filters, you'll find a LOT of instances where they are soft-defending each other, and giving each other slight town reads. Occasionally one of them will give one of the others a hard town read instead. Sometimes they talk about their willingness to vote against one of the others, but it NEVER actually happens. One of the most interesting posts in all of Day 1 was this one: This was the towniest post batsnacks made the whole phase. He's been in this vote race with Sulfurus for a lot of the day, yet he points out that it is curious (and yes, bold) for Sulfurus (if he were scum) to protect Rels, who has surfaced as a third horse in that vote race. If batsnacks is scum and trying to avoid the noose, why is he pointing out something Sulfurus had said that wouldn't make any sense, if Sulfurus were scum? So this reflects well on batsnacks, more than anything else he did the whole phase. And it's a GOOD question. If Sulfurus is scum and trying to avoid the noose, why is he protecting this new potential target (Rels)? Well, one explanation that would make sense is: If Rels is ALSO scum. Lastly, I'll take a look at how this potential Sulfurus/reXxar/Rels team fits in with my Theory about the Day 1 voting. Here's the vote count, at the time I posted the Theory: If the scum team is Sulfurus/ruXxar/Rels, then without a doubt, you've got "all hands on deck" in that vote count, keeping batsnacks in the lead ahead of Sulfurus. All 3 of them have their vote on batsnacks, to help make sure Sulfurus doesn't run out to an insurmountable lead. And the timing of those votes makes sense too, in that scenario. ruXxar was on batsnacks early. It isn't until Sulfurus picks up a 2nd vote (the one from geript) that Sulfurus goes ahead and piles onto batsnacks. And it isn't until Sulfurus picks up a 3rd vote (the one from batsnacks) that Rels ALSO piles onto batsnacks. But I'm sure they wouldn't be comfortable, all having their vote on the same guy, who they know would flip green. So once Trfel puts the 6th vote on batsnacks, Rels is looking to make a move. As I mentioned at the time, he goes OUTSIDE the game, to look at batsnacks' meta, to manufacture an excuse to move his vote off of him. If he can get a third horse going, it could shut down the usefulness of my Theory, because it can stall the batsnacks vs. Sulfurus debate for another day. So Rels goes after geript, who we now know was Town. He then IMMEDIATELY bails on the thread (in the same post where he puts his vote on geript) so that I won't have a chance to berate him for how his vote change violates the Conclusion of my Theory. Rels can safely move off of batsnacks, because even in the 5 vs. 5 tie it creates, batsnacks would still be the lynch, and not Sulfurus. He can always shift back later if he needs to, but if they can get away with it, they really don't want to all be in the same place at the same time. I said during Day 1 that Sulfurus was my "#2 suspect." batsnacks was #1. Later in the day, I said that Sulfurus was "still a Top 2 suspect for me." I no longer said he was #2, just Top 2. Because he had actually overtaken batsnacks as #1. I just hadn't moved my vote yet (or even admitted that Sulfurus was the new #1), because I wanted to see batsnacks follow through on his promise to "destroy the thread" if he stayed in the vote lead long enough. Sulfurus would be my top lynch on Day 2. If he flips Red, is it better to go after ruXxar or Rels next? That's tough. The ties between Sulfurus and ruXxar are definitely stronger than the ties between Sulfurus and Rels. But Rels is being read by more people as being generally scummy right now, so he might be the easier lynch, even if ruXxar could be the more logical lynch. I'll say again that I would not waste a cop check on ruXxar, because if he's scum, I think his most likely role is Ignignokt. If Sulfurus flips Green, then it's back to the drawing board, to some extent. Hopefully that would mean a batsnacks scum team, and he's paired with either Moosy or damdred. But that case is tougher to make than Sulfurus/ruXxar/Rels. If Sulfurus and batsnacks are both Green, then I have been wrong about pretty close to everything in this game, and you shouldn't even be interested in who I think the scum team might be, at that point. If it's something like Kickstart/Wave/Trfel, then...good luck with that. Alright, that's it. Go Town! Alright, noobking's end of night post. More circle jerking I'm seeing around how good this post is, but I already see a problem. Conclusion: Even though there's a lot of time left in the Phase, we may not want to introduce a third lynch target, and should instead stick to trying to pick between these two (since, if the Theory is correct, one of them would flip Red). I didn't have any luck whatsoever trying to get geript out of the noose, and some players (like damdred and batsnacks) have been saying that a lot of my posts can just be safely ignored. Based on all that, I don't think the scum players would kill me, to make it look like they were trying to silence me, to FRAME one of Sulfurus/batsnacks, if they were both actually town. Rather, the scum team would only kill me if my Theory was indeed correct, and one of Sulfurus/batsnacks IS scum. So remember, if the scum team kills me, the Theory is correct. [/quote] While I agree that Sulf is likely scum, trying to assume reasons for night kills is a huge mess of WIFOM (look that one up if you don't know what it is, newbies). For example, I have won a game as scum by killing a player who was dead wrong about EVERY SINGLE scumread. Scum have many reasons to nightkill, including accuracy of reads, activity, to incite confusion, and framing. Personally I thought the NK was a little odd but not entirely surprising as Noob was not likely to get lynched was almost universally townread. To try and go beyond that is a mistake in the making. Now the analysis of player interaction is actually really good here, but must only be considered AFTER we see a flip. I'm also not entirely sure why Noob seems to think that an entire 3-man team never interact with each other (I guess maybe if it is an all-newbie team I suppose or something?) but this as well as the voting analysis is exactly how we need to be thinking as we gain information. Personally, I think we need to be looking as I mentioned earlier at the people who so quickly jumped ship to Geript and what the circumstances of their jumping was exactly.

Originally was suspicious mainly of ruxx and sulf. Sulf still scummy ruxx not so much. Hate to just come in and agree with thread sentiment but rels is scummy as well. Tbh I just skimmed through most of the EoD and the night stuff though. This is prooty bad. Gonna wait till he re-proves himself but to come in and make excuses and apologize isn't a shining example of towniness. On June 15 2015 07:18 ruXxar wrote: 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 More bad talk of association but I guess I've already plonked him straight into noobytown along with moosy so I suppose I have to forgive it? I guess if we're super wrong on Sulf/Rels or something goes down I'll need to re-evaluate more closely but for now I still think both Ruxx and Moosy are supernoobtown which they continue to keep showing off. I'm willing to eat it right now if I'm wrong on that. If we're talking about interactions the two of them are interacting very nicely in thread as well, and while this isn't necessarily hard to fake I don't see it here with these two. | ||

On looking through I thought he was on Rels all day and then dropped his amazing case instantly in favor of even after this post: On June 14 2015 04:14 Trfel wrote: Ugh, I just don't quite feel right about lynching geript or Damdred. They're both incredible players, and it's the weekend, so it's unfair to expect normal activity levels from them. ##vote Rels But he was onto batsnacks as well at one point. It does kinda look as though he almost doesn't believe his own case at times because of his initial dropoff from Rels onto bats, then as bats lost ground back onto rels again and onto Geript. He does put a LOT of effort into his rels push when he is on him though so at the same time it seems doubtful that this is a half-assed push where he was just looking for an out. Not sold either on this one. Also liked his activity around the lynch and his first post after flip. Damdred - This is it. Interested to hear what bats himself thinks here of the people who sheeped him actually. I take it you were too excited it about your lynch at the time to see all of this going down? Moosy - Fine with him. Has a monster filter, constant discussion of the lynch while it was going down. Ruxxar - Ah, I remember pointing this one out before.

Just looks like he's making more excuses and feigning...something. Ugh I know I've been calling him town due to the moosy business but the more I watch those two the more I think SOMETHING has to be going on here. Ruxxar more likely scum than moosy by a huge factor. Scott - Actually just ninjavoted. Didn't even say a thing about Geript. That's interesting. Ballsy for scum but apparently nobody picked up on it so far? Personally thinking Damdred and Ruxxar come out looking the worst on geript train analysis. Both jump on after the train has begun to gather steam and help to push it past the crucial point (Damdred more so than even Ruxxar) But ruxxar's posting around it was pretty terrible while Damdred's is minimal and while not great, I COULD just see it coming from non-self-conscious town. | ||

I am liking all the other stuff going on though. It makes me feel like scum are scrambling because the top townreads haven't really changed a whole lot and are untouchable while the scum are trying to figure out which of the dregs they can safely remove to continue on with the game. That in itself makes me feel good about Sulf not being targeted by anyone seemingly other than me. That says likely Sulf is scum and all the target switching and scumreads thrown out constantly means we're on the right track (although having to figure out which of all the people tossing around new scumreads are actually scum is blegggh). | ||

Top scum is still absolutely Sulf. If the only reason to not lynch him is because 'oh well he did this shit in another game,' then that's not nearly enough. Not much else has changed to be honest, other than the fact that I'd probably bump Rels up on my list to that muddle of 'null' players. Other two are more than likely amongst Damdred/you(ruxxar)/Rels/Scott/Kickstart. I think Oats re-gets a townread for feels and you move down slightly because I dunno how you could be voting moosy and calling Sulf town without some shenanigans going on. | ||

Because paranoia aside it doesn't make sense to me from either perspective no how much it's been looked at for Moosy to be scum given the way he's been playing and the numerous early 'noobmistakes,' and it doesn't make sense to me how Sulf could be town aside from purely based on a meta read which is usually an extremely substandard way of determining alignment if it's the only thing you're using. | ||

Associations aside I still don't know if I'd lynch Ruxxar first, but I think at this point I'd do it over Rels. Votecount?

I also don't think it's unreasonable to think that ruxxar's case is TMI. So sulfur's alignment doesn't matter, ruxxar is scummy regardless. Fair, though defending a scum-mate who has left is more likely a lost cause so I would expect a bus more than putting your neck out to defend them. Which, I suppose lends more credence to the theory of Ruxxar being newbie scum would think to defend teammates at all costs? I dunno. | ||

If you rolled mafia would you not be more inclined to actually stay alive and win than if you were town? I can understand the IDGAF attitude if you roll vanilla town, but as mafia I would be way more interested in the game. Why would sulfurus STILL not even ATTEMPT to mount some sort of defense? Is he breaking the rules of the mafia game and not playing to WIN? Does he honestly think that I alone am going to be able to save him? Not in a million years when I'm already suspect as mafia. Actually the vast majority of people hate playing scum. There are a lot of vets on this site who simply do what Sulf is doing in this situation as scum. | ||

As for why sulfur isn't mafia in an isolated scope, I've already made that argument before. You're right about the earlier stuff, and it isn't all that convincing, but I've already explained why your case for Sulf being town is pretty worthless. The more convincing argument is actually the TMI, and even though I have a hard time believing you're right, it still makes you look scummy either in which case the play would be to lynch you first. I'm going to hold off for now and let some other people comment on this because it's been beaten to death. Damdred and Scott I'm particularly interested in what you two have to say. | ||

What is the mafia incentive for pushing Rels hard at times, and at other times going with other wagons? That's a lousy way to go about a bus, and if I'm scum and Rels is town, why would I keep jumping around between flipped town geript, likely town batsnacks, and assumed town Rels? Given the lackluster way geript was playing, I was suspicious of him. I didn't want to lynch him for that alone, though, because of the weekend and because of the potential risk. However, when batsnacks caught what I thought was a scumslip, this new information convinced me to lynch geript. If I didn't re-evaluate based on new information, that would be more telling. Ultimately I think there are other people doing similar things that looks worse. When Trfel does post I have generally been liking it. You know him pretty well though, yes? there anything specifically meta-related here? Im curious. | ||

I don't think there is more for me to contribute regarding ruxxar. I will be thinking about who to lynch after ruxxar from now on. Wanted to look into bats a little bit but posts like this make me feel its unnecessary. Has stayed extremely consistent in his posting (but not rigid the way I would expect from scum, if that makes sense) and very open and flowing with reads. Was not a huge fan of the push to lynch scott at end of day as somebody pointed out, but the pull for shenanigans is strong and I can feel where he was coming from.

Oats and Damdred---I feel like something has got to be there but I'm not sure in what capacity. Requires more work when I have the time. I'm notoriously terrible at reading Oats so my constant townreads of him could be extremely wrong. I think I caught Damdred a while ago in some game so I want to go back and look through my own games and see how I did it. Rels is Rels. I dunno. People should talk with me. Oh yeah and gg Moosy, but as people have said this is a very good reason why you don't discuss blue roles. It was Damdred who said that before I could I think---if it were anyone else I might think alignment indicative in some way but that's simply vet common sense. | ||

Doesnt make sense to me :/ I have a problem with this personally. It makes perfect sense to me for this reason exactly. Damdred could simply be playing the 'solo' mafia and pocketing specific players. A hard defense of a player when no one else is out for it fits the bill pretty well. Especially given that it's the 'strong' players. Did the same for batsnacks. I actually think Damdred might be scum here. Sitting back completely flying under the radar is NOT how Damdred plays, I just played a game where he was town and I was scum and it was not like this. I also still need to hear back from Oats regarding my earlier question. As far as the wagon on Scott I'm not sure how I feel about it. | ||

Almost nothing happened, and scott was the most likely train from the very beginning. I know for a fact ruxx and Oats were here and did nothing, for example. So to me everybody is happy with the lynch going this way: town 'cause scott is super scummy, AND mafia. So it seems that the mafia team is happy with scott going down. It can mean: - scott is not defendable - scott is townie I'd be careful with this way of thinking. Reasons you missed: - It's not even 24h into the day and wagons will and almost always do change. - Scum aren't around to defend him much I think I've been too lazy today. | ||

Oats. The definition of 'bussing' is to throw your mafia teammate 'under the bus' by getting them lynched. If they are both scum, and Scott is voting for Damdred, by the very definition bussing is EXACTLY what he is doing. Oats why is Damdred scum? | ||

I'm on Damdred now because this is NOT how he plays town, period. I've been consistently blown away by his play in recent months and all I've seen in this game is him defending people (hint: easy to do as scum) and almost no analysis whatsoever past the early game. Would be willing to switch to Oats though and I'm kind of surprised nobody had anything to say about the fact that he completely contradicted himself here AND refuses to answer my question.

I know how you are with this game, so the fact that you are not being careful whatsoever with anything you post and it makes no goddamn sense half the time is absolutely not a towntell for you. You come in here, throw random shit jabs at people, have no semblance of who you want to lynch straight and why, and you're somehow getting away with it. You started to play well in the beginning of the game but now that people are putting pressure on you you've completely lost that and have fallen apart. Guys get off scott.

I'm going to look into this myself. It actually does make a whole lot of sense if one of or both Damdred and Oats are scum that nobody wants to talk about either of them but more so because Damdred isn't even here and the entirety of town has been either completely complacent in the scott lynch or actually attempting to re-evaluate, which is actually way a way better situation than I would expect with a wagon like this that formed so early. | ||

Damdred might get modkilled anyway. My vote on him initially started partially because I think he might be scum and patially to get him to do something (in response to this post I quoted by Kickstart here) Except looking through and some of the points I've made really lead to believe he's scum. Probably more than Oats but if we're wrong about Scott then it has to be Damdred/Oats because I don't think anyone else makes sense. On June 20 2015 03:20 Trfel wrote: Please don't misunderstand. I'm not telling scott31337 to stop talking, I just didn't want to talk to him about the same things (ie my reasons for calling him scum) any longer. I'm willing to talk with him about other things. We're not allowed to discuss coaching in this game. And why isn't it scott31337? I've made my arguments, and he seems like a solid lynch to me. If you don't want to lynch him, you need to say why. Is it just because of how much strength his wagon has? I don't have a problem with lynching Oatsmaster, but scott31337 just feels even scummier. I guess maybe that's it? I don't know if I remember the last time I've been in a game where everyone unanimously agreed on scum from the start of a day like this. And I suppose that doesn't mean scott's town on its own. | ||

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.

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: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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Preliminary thoughts: Killing bats over me/Trfel/Kickstart would suggest that at least one of us is scum (scumteam very well could be Kickstart/Trfel). Damdred not being killed suggests that it's a player who is not aware of his potential (Ruxxar/Rels/Kickstart)? Trfel not being killed....? Not killing me suggests a player who is aware I am legitimately terrible at solving a game (Oats)? I don't think NK answers anything for me tbh. Especially since people might have been starting to turn around on bats. Ruxxar pre-EON WIFOM also really struck a nerve with me and it aggravates me because I have no idea whether it affected the NK or not AND whether or not it's by his own design. If he's town, I feel like newbie scum are way more likely to listen to what he said and leave Trfel/me alive if we're both town to attempt to frame...as such Kickstart's reaction to the NK fits for town both because he is not technically a newbie as he knows how the game works---'framing' is not usually a good scum play and were he scum and done that he wouldn't be trying to latch hardcore onto Oats when he has a good excuse to hit up either one of us (or just me if Trfel is scum). If ruxxar is scum it's easy setup to push one of us. Impossible to tell which. Conclusions: Feel ok about Kickstart to begin with. | ||

I had you and Rels likely town for a while due to relative noobishness (and I was right on Moosy despite my doubts) while bats being wrong a whole bunch had my hackles up (and knowing he can be pretty cunning, I've lost to him before as scum). Kickstart I think I just threw there for shits. | ||

Reading over Kickstart's case I actually can see some good reasoning behind some of the quotes Kickstart outlines as bad, but there are way more of them that I can't explain away as town for the rest. Damdred on the other hand I had outlined multiple times. Ignoring the lack of activity (as I always give people the benefit of the doubt when they have RL excuses for things. Except BH lol) when he WAS here I think I can count TWO posts by him that were as I would expect from a town Damdred. Damdred as town is a force to be feared and while sometimes he takes a while to get going or some of his posting is shitposting, his good:uselessness ratio has never been as bad as this in any town game I've ever played with him. | ||

I've never played a mini game with quite this much potential role variation. Off the top of my head I've never even SEEN a mini where mad hatter was possible I don't think. It's honestly tough to say whether we have a cop or not especially since nobody has claimed at this point where arguable we have very little lose if they do. I think in most of the minis I've seen where you can have GF and no cop it was semi-open, that is there are a number of known potential setups (3-5 or so) and once some roles are revealed scum and town can both begin to guess what the other roles are. I don't know how Onegu balanced this game and I'm not going to presume to try and find out. I especially don't think role discussion helps us out here just as it didn't earlier unless someone comes forward. | ||

Though I think people should be focusing on who they think is most likely to be scum atm instead of other pointless things that they seem to be focusing on. Most important thing now is hitting scum so people need to be pushing their top scum reads. This is why I like you for town. I have an odd question for you. If you were here on D2, what do you think you would have done? | ||

Only thing that got me to sort of care was me about to be mislynched in a situation that would have been extremely bad for town (no information gained) and now we are at a lynch we can't fuck up on. If I had to guess I would have probably pushed on sulf/ruxx at that point as it was before oats ridiculous play/reactions around the sulf lynch so I wouldn't have been as hell bent on him as I am now and I was suspicious of mainly sulf and ruxx that early on. Lol I'm glad I voted you early then :D Yeah ladies and gents, Kickstart is not a lynch for today. Thought process is too easy to follow, too fluid, too natural. | ||

On June 21 2015 12:13 Kickstart wrote: a) Yes but it was a long time ago and he was scum and he died in the first lynch. So I don't really have much to draw from. That game was in late 2012 so yeah. While I find myself annoyed by the same things there are marked differences from when he was scum then, but again the game was very much different so its hard for me to draw valid comparisons. In that game we both immediately got into a fight than neither of us were backing down from so one of us was going to get lynched day1, happened to be him and he happened to be scum. But yeah I don't really have any meta im drawing from no. b) This question kind of assumes I know how oats plays but I don't know so can't answer this really. This comes down to the too bad to be mafia argument which I truly loathe, the problem is I think oats is bad. So either he is mafia or he is bad, and at this point in the game neither is good for us because we can't afford to myslynch. Given the predicament we are in and the fact that his best guesses at who scum are is you and myself I think he is scum. I mean everything he does and every case he makes is just bad. Like I said if he is town he should really be ashamed of himself this game. I think rels/ruxxar are most likely to be the last scum after oats. Honestly I just called out rels as more likely atm because he annoyed me with a misrepresentation of my posting. And if anyone knows anything about my play its that this is what pisses me off most. with this post here mainly: I look at it like this. If I look for who I think is most scummy I get to oats. If I go through who is most towny/who has put in the most effort, oats is at the bottom. So to me oats is by far the best lynch for now. Essentially the reason I ask is because the lack of caring and vote switching that you mostly call him out for I've seen him do as both alignments. I've also noticed you're a little biased against people who call you out (as is you just said and as is evidence by those sections in your case against Oats---I'm pretty sure I actually agreed with him at the time when he said it looked like you were forcing a read). Like you said if he's town he's playing like shit now. Ultimately what might make him scum for me is a couple things specifically: On June 16 2015 22:42 Oatsmaster wrote: Pretty ok case I guess. Dammit I hate being a wrong but now kickstart actually looks like mafia. It's weird that sulph wants to lynch me rather than kickstart though. This is the worst of it by far. The random vote switching and nonsensical voting on its own is just shit play from either alignment (see all the times he makes very little sense and I argue with him) but here he actually attempts to weakly justify to make himself look better after pushing SO strongly because it was immediately obvious to him how bad it looked after doing so. With the other votes he can say shit like 'vote moosy' because he didn't have a whole lot to say about them before, he can look confident because people aren't likely to simply vote him because he votes for terrible choices without good reasons. When he tries to vote for someone a lot of people are paying attention to, however, he gets more self-conscious and it immediately stands out. Another one that really gets to me is the fact that he was perfectly capable of looking good early game (at least to me) and his ability to do so has decreased in proportion to the population of town decreasing. I don't think that is coincidence, I think it is because he is less and less able to hide and less able to intersperse good commenbts with shit ones as the game goes on. In short, I agree with you that Oats is likely scum here, BUT since I haven't looked into Trfel/Ruxxar/Rels yet I'm going to hold off on how I want to proceed because I want to make sure everything makes sense together. At this point in the game associations are necessary. I think you should do the same. + Show Spoiler + I should also mention I have another little trap set up related to this as my last one surprisingly didn't come to fruition as I expected it would. | ||

The only, ONLY thing I can see as being an issue is his need to announce to us absolutely everything he does which can on one hand be seen as a 'HEY GUYS LOOK AT ALL THIS AWESOME ANALYSIS IM DOING I MUST BE TOWN' or he's simply newbie town and all gung-ho about doing shit he deems useful. Second option still seems more likely here. Kickstart what did you say you had on him again? Scum between Oats/Trfel/Ruxxar ezpz. 66% chance boyysssss | ||

As far as the lynch itself, I know I thought he was slipping earlier but that was one of the reasons I was attempting to re-evaluate him. Slips just aren't likely most of the time. I agree with this but I think there was also a decent chance Geript was scum outside of the supposed 'slip' and you could see that people were attempting to coordinate or starting to rally around the idea before Batsnacks' post. The question is, did scum see an easy out once he posted and jump on or ignore it entirely? At this point I'd go with the easy out option. I still see absolutely no reason why Sulfurus isn't scum here. AND him and Rels still looked scummier than Geript at the end of the day so some close evaluation is necessary. This is the Geript I was expecting to see throughout the day but he didn't show up. We listen to him I think. Also something really stood out to me reading over EOD as well and that's th stupid conversation between Noob and Ruxxar that everyone ignored. I ignored it too up until this point. Completely useless and irrelevant posting for pages, then ruxxar jumps in with this. I know everyone else jumped on as well but read through this and tell me it doesn't look like shit. Just ass-kissing of the worst degree, over emphasis on how his read developed and how bats was 'redeemed' when plenty of us found him townier way earlier. It looks like another case where he was just looking for a way to get off bats because keeping his vote there wasn't going to look so good with Rels/Sulf on the block. Go ahead Oats. Show me how I said I tried to get the lynch off Geript. | ||

And the post you quoted was geript talking about scumslips not existing. How does that make him town?? Also you never answered the accusation that you never actually mention sulph other than in your list post on n1, and you only vote for sulph after he posts another horrible post. This makes you mafia because you wanted to try and save sulph but he messed up. It doesn't make him town, all I said was I wanted to look into him again but I didn't get the chance. And apparently the only thing that wouldn't have made me scum is to vote Sulf and talk about nothing but him right off the bat of D2? I talked about Sulfurus plenty up until that point, and pushed him as well. If I didn't decide to vote him until his terrible posting triggered me to remember to do so, then that's my prerogative and there is nothing even remotely scummy about it. The fact that it doesn't fit into whatever convoluted timeline you're attempting to come up with is meaningless. You are twisting anything and everything you can possibly find in your desperation but all it serves to do is make you look worse. You are grasping at the thinnest of straws to escape your fate, and why you have chosen me to latch on to I have no fucking clue. You would have had better chances with Rels or something.

The timing of oats claim comes after he can be sure town doesn't have a cop. He waits for everyone in the town to have posted to confirm rather than claim early in the day. You ask 'but wave, everyone had posted already waayyy before oats claimed!' Look at the timing of trfels post. He posts and leaves before the idea of cop claiming comes up. Oats waits until he posts the second time to be absolutely sure its safe. (This actually means trfel is probably town?) It's obvious to me where votes need to be today. I have proof now oats is scum but the rest of you need to choose one way or another. Objectively the claim and his 'proof' is awful but I suppose im just biased considering my position. Either way i'm not going to spend what time I have arguing with him either so you guys can do what you feel is right and I'm going to do what I can to help find the final scum. Probably not much until tomorrow though as its fathers day today. | ||

I'm going to answer this question pretty simply here. Look at what Rels and Kickstart have been doing. Do either of those players look like scum to you fighting off a townie? That is absolutely a town on town fight right there. I've seen a fucking thousand of them. Now look at the people who don't give a shit that it's happening as it goes on. Trfel/you/Oats. Although I suppose Trfel went to bed before it started? so meh. I highly doubt Trfel sits down and makes an huge entire fucking case for Oats being scum/me being town as scum because that makes no goddamn sense to do when all he has to do is vote me. You're the one who is still asking questions and looking like you're trying to find a reason to switch one way or the other. Of the two of you? I think you're more likely scum here. That being said I've seen some dumb shit in my time---I could be wrong on Trfel and he could be pulling some long-ass play to ensure that he still looks good and can switch/ride the tide of a voteswap at the end of the day easy. Actually come to think of it the same could be said for almost anyone if they assume that this is where the votes are most likely to be at the end of the day---if Oats absolutely looks like he is going down any scummer is going to be afraid to be the vote of dissent which is going to make our job harder going forward. The thing is, in most cases if I'm about to die I give reads on absolutely everyone I possible can so you guys have something to go on once I'm dead, but in this case that shit doesn't matter because everything ends once I die. I'm going to do everything I can today to make sure Oats is the lynch and we have the time to sit back and figure out who the final scum is. | ||

I'm telling you that I have never seen a really really bad mafia fakeclaim, the only thing that gets close is bunnies vet claim in the most recent ver game but in that the claim was good enough for her to survive like 3 extra days. Pretty obvious, because you still have a chance to convince people here despite how terrible your fakeclaim is. I have absolutely seen bad mafia fakeclaims. (See fuba in Inglorious Basterds I think it was?) Hell I've even seen bad 3P fakeclaims (see BH in one of those Golden Sun games) Both got them lynched immediately if I remember correctly. If it was a real claim you would have absolutely claimed off the bat of the day instead of waited to make absolutely certain that nobody was already the cop. | ||

Not that i redchecked you or anything important. Then you leave and like 8 hours later come back and say you just noticed something you shouldve noticed a lot earlier if yyou were actually town. Then you disappear again and come back with inane nonsense about a town v town fight instead of trying to prove that I'm fakeclaiming. And fyi, i didn't claim at the start because I actually think about optimum play. Claiming at the start of today is only optimal if I have both mafia Rux, I've posted like really clearly why I think wave is mafia. For the setup speculation, we already have had a mad hatter, a role previously never seen in a newbie game so why are you guys using that as an ultimate rule that can never be broken? Why shouldn't that be the first thing I talk about? What good is it to town if I shout OATS IS SCUM IM ACTUALLY GREEN? I've already stated that. There is nothing scummy about that whatsoever. And you're saying I 'should've noticed that earlier' if I were town. Why exactly Oats? What's scummy about the timeline there. Please go ahead and explain to all those listening? And now you bring up what I talk about when I return? You're literally, and I mean LITERALLY taking everything I've said recently and attempting to paint that in a scummy light, and just like Ruxxar said, ONLY the stuff after you claimed is scummy somehow? lol. | ||

By now if you read the "fuck" above I suppose you guessed it. Three power roles. So Trfel: - Left out ONE game of newbie these past three month - The game he left out was ofc the game where there was three power roles - Then went on to claim he went through ALL mini normal games of this past 3 month, and ALL had a maximum two power roles Fuck. I'm personally not a fan of setup analysis anyway, I think I ignored that post by Trfel entirely. As is I think the only way for a 3-man power role setup to work is for there to be the presence of a scum roleblocker I believe, and I don't think anyone was informed of being roleblocked this game, unless people just didn't claim it for whatever reason. I know I wasn't roleblocked. That is really interesting though that he omitted only one game from the analysis lol. Can't tell if oversight or on purpose and if so to what end. | ||

He implies that scum are scrambling when in actual fact, like half the game is doing something that he attributes as a scumtell. This is also without any mafia flips. he attributes to know what mafia are doing but the only mafia member he scum reads in this post and the next few posts are sulph, who is not doing what wave said scum or doing. Do you get this? Oats, I can out a fucking hundred posts by you this game without any real analysis. And once again you're not making any sense. Why would I expect Sulfurus to be doing what the other scum are doing when he was the one targeted? Just absolute nonsense constantly spewing from your mouth. | ||

This is consistent with the view of the thread, with kickstart and trfel pushing my case. However, in that space of time, wave only asked me a few questions after which he doesn't really follow up on, making me think that the read was changed in accordance with thread sentiment. There was nothing at all his wvaes filter showing his change of heart, just the change in tone with the posts towards me when he sheeped the scum read of kickstart. It's completely off. Wave totes mafia. 'CAuse 36h is a super short time to change your read. Also I hear changing your read of someone is a super scummy thing to do. | ||

Oats, maybe I just don't know the game well enough, but I don't see how that post from wave is indicative of mafia play. He even implicates his own scum buddy. Right now, my only gripe with wave, is the list that he posted before eon, where Damdred was the top scum tell. I know I've been harping on it a lot, but it was the perfect opportunity to frame damdred as mafia for killing bats after bats went on a tirade about how Scott/dam was the final 2. I had been null-to-scumreading Damdred for quite a while before that point actually if you check my filter, and mentioned it quite a few times throughout the game how it bothered me that he wasn't playing to his potential and barely doing any analysis at all. I see your issue, but I don't really have much to say about that as it was exactly how I felt at the time. Damdred seemed like the most likely choice. | ||

But after that it's like you just noped the fuck out of the game and just checked in now and then to throw out a "hey let's kill so and so". Like, I would expect a power role to be way more engaged in the game, like moosy was. I just didn't see that from you, and in doing so you lost the credibility to actually make a play such as the one you're doing now. I know this is a newbie game, and I sure made a lot of fuck ups myself. But try to look at it from our perspective. Imagine you don't know wave or yourself at all. All you have to judge from is this one game. Objectively, who would you believe, you or wave? It's no better if you actually know how Oats plays, trust me. | ||

I can explain what both of my 'traps' were if that concerns you for any reason, in the spirit of transparency. On June 20 2015 00:08 WaveofShadow wrote: There's also something I'm waiting for that's likely to happen later in the day. Consider the Bat Trap™ set. For this one at the time I actually didn't expect Scott to be lynched, especially as at that point I didn't think he was the most likely option for scum. It's rare for me to see a wagon pick up steam so early in a day and keep that steam basically unopposed throughout the entire day. I wanted to have a look at who would start the most likely opposing wagon when it seemed Scott's was going to fail (which I assumed it would) and who immediately jumped on it and why. I felt that it wasn't likely for scum to start an opposing wagon, however scum would not necessarily be so quick to want to jump off a mislynch so i was going to be looking for any resistance to what I felt would be a natural switch off of scott. Obviously that never came and I changed my mind on scott personally as well. | ||

This one less a trap and more an attempt to see if I could get scum to avoid killing me because Moosy was pretty obviously town (or likely a blue role) as we found out. By calling him scum maybe I could have WIFOMed scum into leaving him (and me) alive with the pretense that I would push him and mislynch the next day. I think my intentions may have been too obvious here tbh. | ||

No that one went to shit with the claim. I was sitting back to see if an alternative wagon to Oats was started to attempt to save him (hence my hesitation to vote---wanted to see if anyone would see it as an opportunity to start something else in the hope that I would follow before I did it myself), but that's impossible at this point. | ||

Like if you want to lynch me and think Oats is actually the cop, fine, but to give out arbitrary 'negative points' AFTER you're already voting me because I'm not in front of my computer right when you want me to be is horseshit. Again as I've mentioned before, by the PoE I've done today so far I'd guess last scum to be Ruxxar but that's not complete. My best course of action today in order to ensure this game continues is to make sure as many people as possible are on Oats to minimize the ability for last second shenanigans or switching, so I'll concern myself with that when he flips red. | ||

You can explain it all you want after, the fact you did is real and won't disappear. Anyway unless ruxxar or Kickstart can find some WOS scumslips, I'll stay like that. And I'm pretty sure it's been explained to you already (and shown by the geript flip) that isolated scumslips are just not likely to come from scum as is. If you're to call me scum it should be blaring at you from the heavens. There should be something overarching about my play that feels wrong, or forced, or with a specific agenda in mind, or whatever. But I'm willing to bet you're not getting that, and I'm pretty sure I know why that is. | ||

But his post about the timing of your claim is a really good point and perfectly matches what town!WaveofShadow should be trying to do. Ok, so you admit that you checked Kickstart to help with association reads but didn't actually follow through with this. Then Day 3, when you supposedly knew that Kickstart was town, why were you still yelling at people to not make association reads for the Sulfurus lynch? So there were some people who had no idea that Damdred was mafia. Then why did you say you didn't want to check Damdred because everyone knew he was mafia and it was too obvious? I don't see why getting mad is scummy in the slightest tbh. When someone misrepresents your play and is posting lie about you, what is the natural reaction to that? | ||

Like he did a case on everyone but not a "super scummy" Sulfurus. You and Trfel had opposite opinions all game too. That's almost look like that's on purpose. On me, Damdred, Sulfurus, scott ... you were two of the most town read players, but never killed and never on the same page. And lastly, I find weird that you had NO thoughts regarding the last scum, given that if you are really town, you must have thought about the game during 24 hours knowing Oats is mafia. Voilà, here is my feeling. That's not true, I was 100% on the same page about scott by the end of that day, and as I recall we also had similar thoughts regarding Moosy and maybe kickstart as well? I'm nto sure what having differing opinions from someone is supposed to say about me being scum. And I don't have NO thoughts regarding last scum. I've been attempting to analyze while I've been here in between bouts of defending myself and responding to pressure, I just currently feel that ensuring I don't get lynched is the mroe important factor here since, you know, me getting lynched LOSES town the game. | ||

You gotta try and organize your thoughts a little better. It's too easy to pick out inconsistencies everywhere you go. Also PLEASE don't fakeclaim as town. All things considered that was actually one of the better ones I've seen but I don't want these newbies to learn from it lol And I was telling the truth when I said I thought you were playing well D1.

Yes you're right that it's not always the right call, but you don't necessarily have people who are amazingly good at solving the game by the time you get to MYLO so it's tougher to say. | ||

Usually, with no blues around anymore (if you discount Oats' claim here) the most townie person dies, it's gonna be a no-brainer and only causes WIFOM. They were either right or wrong (but still looked town) and you can't really say "hey this guy died because he said these people are mafia", especially if the town doesn't really either (1) have a clear clue who is scum or (2) all think certain people are scum. Both of those are usually the cases, either mafia is playing too well and the townies are just wrong or "everyone is right" and mafia has been mostly found out. Both of those cases in my opinion gain more from there being the "obvious town who noone thinks is mafia" alive, because you can be sure their voting/thoughts are from town perspective. EDIT: Like imo it's really much harder to convince 2 of 4 townies to vote with you than it is to convince 1 of 3 townies to do so as mafia. I'll concede the point if there is an extremely obvious NK and it's not going to help you narrow things down any further but you also have to then assume that it will be extremely obvious for everyone in the game and/or no major dissenting opinions like you were saying. I think as a general rule though especially for these newbies no lynching at MYLO is usually the way to go, and as they get better they'll be able to judge for themselves each game beyond that if there is a point to doing so. Edit: And I just read that Ruxxar said always no lynch at MYLO so yeah Rayn is definitely right---there are cases where it doesn't necessarily help like he's been saying. | ||
