This whole hf rsoul ruxxar thing is so annoying.

I've had ruxxar as town since D1. I've had HF as town too but his his constant pissing contest with rsoul is getting old. As for rsoul, idk maybe I could see a case on her but only if by some miracle people like wave and vivax flip green. The thing with her is that there are enough other people I think are scum ahead of her I'm just gonna back burner it until I have to deal with it.

I mean even if you look at my "arguments" with milo (who is not actually confirmed mafia, his posts don't actually sound too bad sometimes) they are constantly bringing up valid points about his stances not matching up to what he's said previously. Arguably, I've been doing a lot of work while people just chill out and say they'll do stuff tomorrow instead.

That's not the case at all. When did I shit on players d1? I simply made an exaggerated case on Trfel to get his posts actually started and when they didn't it was a bit frustrating while another player hard defended him and kept throwing accusations my way instead. Another player that claimed miller ignored me for scum reading her with valid points? You didn't even respond to my other points on people at deadline when a lynch was already locked in. You disregarded my points on milo which are seemingly entirely valid now. Like 2 people have even talked about my rsoultin posts and all in the mean time people just keep idly saying i'm mafia because i'm annoyed. I think it's totally justified.

Please. If you think emotion is indicative then make a case because I certainly would love to hear it.

If you think i'm mafia and don't really give a shit then i'd ask that you just keep me in a list and refrain from mentioning me until you actually want to lynch me. It would be helpful if everyone did that actually because then I feel I could be far more productive (and please respond when I post something)

My original post was asking if you didn't find it scummy to explain yourself so you get to answer rather than hide behind a question. My own thoughts on vivax are fairly public knowledge

Well that's pretty damn weak. Vivax does the same thing wave does. Come in, make an excuse for his play, and bails. A townie doesn't go "hey guys, sorry I'm bad, gonna keep being bad until you lynch me" a townie tries their best to appear town. Vivax and wave aren't thinking like that, they're just trying to find excuses for their scummy play rather than actually try to appear more townie by helping scum hunt.

It's not. Be emotional that's fine. But you are very often shitting up the thread and burying important shit with your whining. You are doing this consistently. Town can definitely do this but only when they are bad. Are you bad? No one else seems to think so. So you're pushing a scum agenda in that way, and it worries me.

I have looked into rsoultin just not very deeply yet, there's really no rush on it at the moment. I'd rather someone on my list do something useful so I can strengthen my reads. But townies are saying "fuck it we know the lynch so I'm afk" which allows scum to hide in that group of people.

Let's get back to trfel though. His case which you disregarded as his best post because it has words in it:

On July 08 2015 05:17 Trfel wrote:
I need to leave soon, and I haven't caught up in the thread.

I see that milo109 claimed two-shot cop, and Holyflare claimed vigilante.

If it's between milo109 and ritoky, I think I lynch ritoky.

I don't want to lynch Half the Sky, but I also don't know why people are scumreading her?

Anyway, (very) short version of why Holyflare is scum:

Someone once said that Holyflare gets mad as town, but not as scum. This isn't really true, but Holyflare's tone seems to be a fairly good way of reading him.

For example, in Linux Mafia, Holyflare was mad at most people in the game and towards the end of Day 1 started throwing suspicion more wildly at everyone. His anger didn't really have justification. Contrast with Guardians of the Galaxy, where Holyflare and Alakaslam scumread each other early on. Despite Alakaslam being somewhat scummy (he always is, to some extent), Holyflare eventually agreed that Alakaslam could be town, despite objectively having little reason for it. And he didn't let his anger get in the way of scumhunting.

Here, Holyflare's felt way too angry, way too often. One example of this is that he was angry at me. If Holyflare is very confident that I am scum, he should be happy at having caught me, not angry at me for doing scummy things. It makes sense for him to be angry at townies who don't want to lynch me. However, Holyflare's posting didn't at all seem interested in showing people why I am mafia, but instead focused on pointless arguing with me. Holyflare knows when an argument isn't going anywhere, especially when it's with one of his scumreads. Holyflare has no problem filling the thread with nonsense and arguing with no goal in mind.



Let's start with the bolded. If he believes this is the case then he is saying I did not scum hunt at all day 1 which is unarguably false, correct? I'm pretty sure I cased him, rsoul, hts, milo etc etc etc. So, even though I was angry at HtS and Rsoul I was still scum hunting. It's irrefutable. Then, what else is contained in that read? The dropping of reads for objectively little reason which I'm also pretty sure I did multiple times (him, hts at night but that's after this post, wave clearly disappeared from my first list, etc etc.) My list posts have been updated pretty constantly all throughout day 1. So. How can he even make this read if he has been reading the thread? I don't think i've been throwing suspicion at everyone either, sure I've been argumentative with my town reads but anger is just a thing that gets displaced onto other people.

The next paragraph after that, yes I've been angry a lot but if I've dropped my town read of Trfel why does he assume he's confirmed mafia to me? He can't, it doesn't make sense. You cannot even say that I haven't been trying to point out why he's mafia to people. That's legitimately just not true in the slightest. I've been getting into fights with rsoul because I've been trying to point out scummy things and questioning them. I even made a case on his read not existing beforehand and appearing magically and then never featuring in his read on LS in the slightest here:

    Scum #2 I've caught.

    I not what are smoking bro? Weed? Crack?
    When he gets scumread by geript, he just says he's not scum, and then says that something must be impeding geript's ability to read him. He responds to geript's scumread, but without providing any content. He doesn't actually ask geript why he had this scumread, doesn't think about geript's alignment at all, and seemingly assumes that geript is town.

    Furthermore, I'm not used to LightningStrike being this aggressive in his wording.

    Again, he's really aggressive about the claim, and assumes that Breshke is town.

    There are more examples, they're all similar.

    Oh? I think I've played with town Scott once. But ls any other thoughts about him?

    Not much to go on him yet.
    This is his first discussion about reading people in this game.

    From what I can tell it's easier to read him later than earlier(Also quick note on the first game I linked he replaced in the night before)
    Which doesn't actually do anything to help his case. "Hey LightningStrike, you're scum because you didn't do this." "Okay, I did it, am I cool now?"

    Also on the note about scott: As scum seems to be more obvious as the game progresses I only skimmed some of his filter from his last two town games and I still need more posts from him to determine his alignment by meta.


    do you have any town at this point?

    Damdred even if he's wrong on me I see Town Damdred this game.
    The townread on Damdred feels very out of place. This is the only read he's made to this point in the game. Also, note the wording, he says "if" instead of "though". LightningStrike ought to know that he is town...

    Kel I don't get it, you really like my points on ls which I feel is really strong and getting stronger by the second.

    But instead you judge me based on the structure of a town read and don't even mention the ls read that you liked? That's kind of strange


    how i like to read you and rsoul is how you read eachother, your town read on her is less developed than usual i cant explain that shit.
    so i liked the ls case, but ls....like i just fucking hate whenever he types so if i ignore all that shit and try to play outside of that id ont like you
    make sens


    I'm not sure I follow 100%.
    example if you don't like a town read that's ok, but you like another read is developed with support you want to discard because you don't like him anyway? So you don't like me.

    that doesn't make sense and you are discarding part of my game play for no real reason it feels uneven and unnecessary coming from you


    im basically not sure i believe your LS read anymore and anything connected to LS is always slightly aids
    so im looking at your rs read and it doesnt feel as good
    im not 100% i just dont like you in my gut i guess
    it dpeends what ls does


    What does it even mean that my RS read didn't feel as good? Not as condensed as assassins where I had to be vs different here and the last game I played in?

    So you are scum reading me (sorta) on style rather than content?

    And you don't think my Ks read is good anymore when he is 100% still going against meta?


    well..it is like this. scott apparently has few games played and LS did explain the read of like "oh you get him later"
    LS is...well like you never know wtf is happening. so i think a few pages its hard to say well fuck yeh he is lazy...it just doesnt feel good...fuck i cant explain that properly
    so i feel like your LS scum is dishonest and your rsoul is town feels like a cheap rsoul is town comparitively


    Damdred is wrong about my alignment and Damdred does normally rsouls alignment correctly but he wrong on my alignment this game but that wont make him scum if he is scum.
    And it continues. He doesn't take any effort to explain this Damdred read at all. And he's so aggressive towards others who scumread him. It feels like he just townread Damdred to appease him.

    When LightningStrike finally gives a reason for townreading Damdred (in his list post), it's because Damdred is putting in effort. Which wasn't the case when LightningStrike first gave his townread of Damdred.

    Normally, I would expect LightningStrike to ask a question to ritoky, such as "When you return, please share your reads" or something like that. In the Himalayas game, he asked this question very early on. But here, he just comments. No question, no conclusion, just a comment.

    Any thoughts on other people atm? I would like to know what you thinking that's all.
    Here's a counter-example from Himalayas. However, I haven't seen LightningStrike play like this as town before, and it still feels like his tone is more meek in this game than his other town games (even the Himalays quote).

    Furthermore, he's being more aggressive towards people who scumread him this game than in other games. Why is he more aggressive in response to scumreads, but more defensive when asking people for reads? It doesn't make sense.
There is one more reason, possibly the strongest reason. But I need to see what people think about this before I could consider sharing it. And no, I'm not going to say what it is at this time, so don't ask.

1st point is a town read like we've said and you should have seen if you were reading the thread

2nd point is just silly because he does that regularly, you can just look at any game and see he plays reactionary to appease people

3rd point you literally compare 2 quotes that are exactly the same and say they are different

You are hardly in a position to talk about Vivax not posting.

It's not. Be emotional that's fine. But you are very often shitting up the thread and burying important shit with your whining. You are doing this consistently. Town can definitely do this but only when they are bad. Are you bad? No one else seems to think so. So you're pushing a scum agenda in that way, and it worries me.

I have looked into rsoultin just not very deeply yet, there's really no rush on it at the moment. I'd rather someone on my list do something useful so I can strengthen my reads. But townies are saying "fuck it we know the lynch so I'm afk" which allows scum to hide in that group of people.


Off the top of your head what emotional shitting up the thread did I do today.

As for his treament of milo / ritoky, I actually agree with MZ on his apathy statement about milo.

I find the way that milo acted to be really weird throughout the game and especially after geript outed his tracking claim on damdred and his reaction to that.

the question isn't if milo is apathetic, the question is how he can handwave ritoky's play away as "absent and town" and yet call milo's "scummy and apathetic". The distinction is nonsense.


I disagree.
I think that's a pretty good description of their play.

Milo's play has been shallow and unconvincing.
It's like he's trying to appear interested, but not really.
His flow is unnatural and uninspired.

Ritoky on the other hand has had a IDGAF attitude throughout.
It's not particularly helpful for town, and I don't like it, but it doesn't give off a strong scummy vibe.

I mean even if you look at my "arguments" with milo (who is not actually confirmed mafia, his posts don't actually sound too bad sometimes) they are constantly bringing up valid points about his stances not matching up to what he's said previously. Arguably, I've been doing a lot of work while people just chill out and say they'll do stuff tomorrow instead.

The thing is that you were insulting and shitting on players way before being ignored. And yes, I would say being overly emotional like this is alignment indicative for you.


That's not the case at all. When did I shit on players d1? I simply made an exaggerated case on Trfel to get his posts actually started and when they didn't it was a bit frustrating while another player hard defended him and kept throwing accusations my way instead. Another player that claimed miller ignored me for scum reading her with valid points? You didn't even respond to my other points on people at deadline when a lynch was already locked in. You disregarded my points on milo which are seemingly entirely valid now. Like 2 people have even talked about my rsoultin posts and all in the mean time people just keep idly saying i'm mafia because i'm annoyed. I think it's totally justified.

Please. If you think emotion is indicative then make a case because I certainly would love to hear it.

If you think i'm mafia and don't really give a shit then i'd ask that you just keep me in a list and refrain from mentioning me until you actually want to lynch me. It would be helpful if everyone did that actually because then I feel I could be far more productive (and please respond when I post something)

You shat on rsoultin pretty badly. You have been shitting on me for a very long time now. I never disregarded your points on milo. I made one simple point that going after a new player for this exact thing has failed very recently which I think is a fairly reasonable thing to point out. That's literally all I said about your milo stuff but you had to construe it like I shut you down which is just completely ridiculous.
I do not need to make a case on why shitting up the thread like you do is scummy. It is pretty obvious and you JUST did the same as mafia in himalaya. You are a smart guy and a more than decent townplayer who is able to be aggressive and investigative without resorting to shit like this as town. The post Trfel made about this which you completely disregarded for a pretty minor reason is pretty good.
And yes, I do not intend to engage your further with this since it is just not worth it regardless of your alignment since we have 2-3 lynches lined up and I do not need to convince you that you are mafia anyways. But if you say something I disagree with then I will point it out. And I will remember people from time to time that I think you are mafia because otherwise they will forget it and mistake your effort later in the game for townyness. Or you will just say "he never really called me scum" like you did with rsoultin last game.

You're bringing up every little point against you, blowing it out of proportion and then defending yourself.
For example, your previous post is not you saying trfel is scum as much as it's saying "I am town", something that really doesn't matter at this stage.

Let's get back to trfel though. His case which you disregarded as his best post because it has words in it:

I need to leave soon, and I haven't caught up in the thread.

I see that milo109 claimed two-shot cop, and Holyflare claimed vigilante.

If it's between milo109 and ritoky, I think I lynch ritoky.

I don't want to lynch Half the Sky, but I also don't know why people are scumreading her?

Anyway, (very) short version of why Holyflare is scum:

Someone once said that Holyflare gets mad as town, but not as scum. This isn't really true, but Holyflare's tone seems to be a fairly good way of reading him.

For example, in Linux Mafia, Holyflare was mad at most people in the game and towards the end of Day 1 started throwing suspicion more wildly at everyone. His anger didn't really have justification. Contrast with Guardians of the Galaxy, where Holyflare and Alakaslam scumread each other early on. Despite Alakaslam being somewhat scummy (he always is, to some extent), Holyflare eventually agreed that Alakaslam could be town, despite objectively having little reason for it. And he didn't let his anger get in the way of scumhunting.

Here, Holyflare's felt way too angry, way too often. One example of this is that he was angry at me. If Holyflare is very confident that I am scum, he should be happy at having caught me, not angry at me for doing scummy things. It makes sense for him to be angry at townies who don't want to lynch me. However, Holyflare's posting didn't at all seem interested in showing people why I am mafia, but instead focused on pointless arguing with me. Holyflare knows when an argument isn't going anywhere, especially when it's with one of his scumreads. Holyflare has no problem filling the thread with nonsense and arguing with no goal in mind.



Let's start with the bolded. If he believes this is the case then he is saying I did not scum hunt at all day 1 which is unarguably false, correct? I'm pretty sure I cased him, rsoul, hts, milo etc etc etc. So, even though I was angry at HtS and Rsoul I was still scum hunting. It's irrefutable. Then, what else is contained in that read? The dropping of reads for objectively little reason which I'm also pretty sure I did multiple times (him, hts at night but that's after this post, wave clearly disappeared from my first list, etc etc.) My list posts have been updated pretty constantly all throughout day 1. So. How can he even make this read if he has been reading the thread? I don't think i've been throwing suspicion at everyone either, sure I've been argumentative with my town reads but anger is just a thing that gets displaced onto other people.

The next paragraph after that, yes I've been angry a lot but if I've dropped my town read of Trfel why does he assume he's confirmed mafia to me? He can't, it doesn't make sense. You cannot even say that I haven't been trying to point out why he's mafia to people. That's legitimately just not true in the slightest. I've been getting into fights with rsoul because I've been trying to point out scummy things and questioning them. I even made a case on his read not existing beforehand and appearing magically and then never featuring in his read on LS in the slightest here:

    Ls what do you make of Scott asking rs for her read on you so early? Any experiences with him?

    Pretty weird esp because rsoultin said last game she can't read me well but she still had a town lean on me there. I had played with scott before but only when he was scum O_o

    Oh? I think I've played with town Scott once. But ls any other thoughts about him?

    Not much to go on him yet.
    This is his first discussion about reading people in this game.

    Damdred responds like this:

    Maybe I'm expecting to much but you obviously are leaning one way on Scott currently and you have said that you played multiple times with him.

    Usually you would throw that meta and five me a preliminary call now you just lazily tell me you don't have enough. Even if it is super early you do it as town a lot but never as scum.
    And LightningStrike responded like this:

    That might seriously be the laziest I've ever seen ls. It just seems like he's phoning it in.

    I'm like 99% sure ls is scum here

    Fight me I not scum(Seriously though it kinda hard to tell the difference early on but later it's easier to tell the difference from what I had looked).
    If anyone want all his games here they are and correct he rolled town 50% of the time and scum 50% of the time:

    From what I can tell it's easier to read him later than earlier(Also quick note on the first game I linked he replaced in the night before)
    Which doesn't actually do anything to help his case. "Hey LightningStrike, you're scum because you didn't do this." "Okay, I did it, am I cool now?"

    @ rs maybe your new read should go in the trash the damdred train is going past the ls lynch this day.

    Na her read on me is correct maybe your LS reading machine is overheating from last game thus not working correctly?
    Also on the note about scott: As scum seems to be more obvious as the game progresses I only skimmed some of his filter from his last two town games and I still need more posts from him to determine his alignment by meta.


    do you have any town at this point?

    Damdred even if he's wrong on me I see Town Damdred this game.
    The townread on Damdred feels very out of place. This is the only read he's made to this point in the game. Also, note the wording, he says "if" instead of "though". LightningStrike ought to know that he is town...

    I'm back.

    Kel I don't get it, you really like my points on ls which I feel is really strong and getting stronger by the second.

    But instead you judge me based on the structure of a town read and don't even mention the ls read that you liked? That's kind of strange


    how i like to read you and rsoul is how you read eachother, your town read on her is less developed than usual i cant explain that shit.
    so i liked the ls case, but ls....like i just fucking hate whenever he types so if i ignore all that shit and try to play outside of that id ont like you
    make sens


    I'm not sure I follow 100%.
    example if you don't like a town read that's ok, but you like another read is developed with support you want to discard because you don't like him anyway? So you don't like me.

    that doesn't make sense and you are discarding part of my game play for no real reason it feels uneven and unnecessary coming from you


    im basically not sure i believe your LS read anymore and anything connected to LS is always slightly aids
    so im looking at your rs read and it doesnt feel as good
    im not 100% i just dont like you in my gut i guess
    it dpeends what ls does


    What does it even mean that my RS read didn't feel as good? Not as condensed as assassins where I had to be vs different here and the last game I played in?

    So you are scum reading me (sorta) on style rather than content?

    And you don't think my Ks read is good anymore when he is 100% still going against meta?


    well..it is like this. scott apparently has few games played and LS did explain the read of like "oh you get him later"
    LS is...well like you never know wtf is happening. so i think a few pages its hard to say well fuck yeh he is lazy...it just doesnt feel good...fuck i cant explain that properly
    so i feel like your LS scum is dishonest and your rsoul is town feels like a cheap rsoul is town comparitively


    Damdred is wrong about my alignment and Damdred does normally rsouls alignment correctly but he wrong on my alignment this game but that wont make him scum if he is scum.
    And it continues. He doesn't take any effort to explain this Damdred read at all. And he's so aggressive towards others who scumread him. It feels like he just townread Damdred to appease him.

    When LightningStrike finally gives a reason for townreading Damdred (in his list post), it's because Damdred is putting in effort. Which wasn't the case when LightningStrike first gave his townread of Damdred.

  • Meek tone when asking people for reads
    + Show Spoiler +
    One of LightningStrike's most commonly asked questions to people is "what are your reads, please?"

    hi, i am town. i will be back when relevant information is being posted. bye.

    Drive By Posting seems common this game O_o
    Normally, I would expect LightningStrike to ask a question to ritoky, such as "When you return, please share your reads" or something like that. In the Himalayas game, he asked this question very early on. But here, he just comments. No question, no conclusion, just a comment.

    Nydus and ls are my first hard town reads of the game.

    Kel is a town lean.

    I'm town, this is a good start

    Any thoughts on other people atm? I would like to know what you thinking that's all.
    Here's a counter-example from Himalayas. However, I haven't seen LightningStrike play like this as town before, and it still feels like his tone is more meek in this game than his other town games (even the Himalays quote).

    Furthermore, he's being more aggressive towards people who scumread him this game than in other games. Why is he more aggressive in response to scumreads, but more defensive when asking people for reads? It doesn't make sense.
There is one more reason, possibly the strongest reason. But I need to see what people think about this before I could consider sharing it. And no, I'm not going to say what it is at this time, so don't ask.

lol apparently i'm not the first to think of it. it any good? it only just clicked for me last game


it's pretty basic but works for him being town from my exp, i have another stupid meta read that i'm waiting on for him too


1st point is a town read like we've said and you should have seen if you were reading the thread

2nd point is just silly because he does that regularly, you can just look at any game and see he plays reactionary to appease people

3rd point you literally compare 2 quotes that are exactly the same and say they are different


When you wake up care to give me your thoughts?


When you are caught up can I have your reads please?


also NONE OF THIS CONTAINS ANY RESPONSE ABOUT LS' READ ON RITOKY LOL

so, trfel's case is based on everything earlier and what did he say earlier?

On July 07 2015 03:55 Trfel wrote:
I think it makes sense now....

I don't scumread LightningStrike any more.


everything after does not change because of his response to ritoky, nothing is different


So how on earth does it look like i've not been trying to show people he's mafia? It doesn't he's simply just posting things to attempt to blend in.



As much as you may disagree with trfel's post, I think it's a good post. He has a good point about you yelling at people you are scumreading which doesn't make much sense from a townie perspective.

Anger is very easy to throw around as scum. You can act all angry and come in and out of the thread, you get people to ignore what you're saying and make them rather not go through the mess you've left behind.

If he believes this is the case then he is saying I did not scum hunt at all day 1 which is unarguably false, correct?


No where in his post do I see him saying you did not scumhunt d1, this is a total strawman.

Sigh. Marv just because you can't see why I liked ritoky over milo doesn't mean it isn't there. In fact if you look at everything that's happened subsequently I've been right about their play.

But if you're hell bent lynching me we'll cross that bridge in a day or or two.

In the meantime can anyone justify why they don't want to lynch vivax after the little shit he posted last night about "being lazy"?

being right =/= being town.

You are hardly in a position to talk about Vivax not posting.
Why is that scummy?

I feel like you literally are not reading my posts oats. I asked why people didn't want to lynch vivax after what he posted last night.

This is not the first time I've had to clarify myself for you when you could simply have read my posts -_-

Why is what Vivax posted last night scummy?

No let's do this. Do you think what he posted last night is not scummy?

I think its pretty damn null.

Well that's pretty damn weak. Vivax does the same thing wave does. Come in, make an excuse for his play, and bails. A townie doesn't go "hey guys, sorry I'm bad, gonna keep being bad until you lynch me" a townie tries their best to appear town. Vivax and wave aren't thinking like that, they're just trying to find excuses for their scummy play rather than actually try to appear more townie by helping scum hunt.

This is completely false btw.
