@Trfel

Is something wrong with you? Did something traumatic happen in your life?
You played like a fucking god in our newbie game.
What changed?
My play in this game is different from my play last game.

I was scum last game.

It's your responsibility to arrive at a conclusion.

What do you think about LightningStrike now?


So you're saying you play like trash as town, yet when you were town in HF's game you also played good.
So it doesn't explain anything.

I like LS, I told you that already.
Which Holyflare game are you referring to?

And why aren't you re-evaluating based on what I said? If you disagree, then why?


Holyflare said you played well, and I trust HF to hold people to a high standard.
Don't trust Holyflare, check for yourself. Even if you had it confirmed that Holyflare is town, you should still check it for yourself.

In the game he mentioned, I got vigilante shot Night 1. And basically everyone but Holyflare was scumreading me. And Holyflare was mafia. Many people in the game asked me to stop posting.

Please check your facts.

I'm not spiting anyone. Almost every question I've asked has had a purpose. Some of it has led to something, some of it has not.

Anyway, I recently learned that I might not be here for End of Day tomorrow. So it appears that I will need to thought dump tonight.

This does not answer the point at all and is most concerning. I do not care if he builds a narrative on LS. I care that he earlier said LS is not scum after reading LS' filter. Nothing had happened since then. Trfel then returns and asks LS a question about Ritoky. Suddenly Trfel's read on LS changes to LS being mafia.

Then he posts a case on LS and none of the things in the case on LS being mafia contain the questions about Ritoky. So why is his case a different version than his opinion in the thread?


This is a good post. This post should be answered. Unfortunately for HF he would make this post as either alignment so he only gets half the credit he deserves for it.



thanx.
In the event that I'm wrong about LightningStrike, answering this question would be the most harmful thing I could possibly do for town. And I guess I'm not convinced enough about LightningStrike to do that. If it means I get lynched for it, so be it.

I absolutely will provide content tonight. I'll start with a defense of the points raised against me, and then move to thoughts on a bunch of people (including Holyflare). But it's likely going to take me a very, very long time to finish, so I'm sorry about that.

I can't (and won't) blame anyone for lynching me.

So why ask for responses about your ls case and then clearly be around and ignore it?

How would it be detrimental to town? You said you read his filter and he was town, then there was people being idiots around my claim, then you said he was mafia; but everything you said made him mafia was stuff that you had already previously read in his filter. Is this an incorrect representation? Correct me if it is wrong. Aka, answer the post.
I was scumreading LightningStrike.

Then, I changed my read on him to town.

Something about those questions changed the read back to scum, and the actual reasons that he was scum were the initial things I was scumreading him for.

A Defense

On July 07 2015 11:35 Holyflare wrote:
did you read what i've been writing?

all of his start of the game is indicative of someone burnt out from playing mafia twice in a row, he's never played like this ever as town at the start of the game

all of his questions when he did start asking questions were circular and could do nothing with the response

his reads don't make sense and aren't ever elaborated on, he scum reads me etc as well as ls and only ever explained ls

he's trolling through the thread

he switched his stance on ls from not scum to scum based on him asking questions about ritoky but that never featured in his case on LS which means those questions were irrelevant to his stance change which means his original post on not scum reading LS any more was bs

just read my filter it's full of stuff
I consider this to be the best single post expressing why people want to lynch me.



Meta

If you want to lynch me for meta, you ought to know what you're talking about, first.
+ Show Spoiler +
  • Student Mafia IV: Town Tracker Killed Night 1
    + Show Spoiler +
    First game of forum mafia ever, third game of mafia (any type) ever. I was really, really bad. I got townread early for making really terrible meta cases (that took several hours to make, despite being absolutely useless), and was killed Night 1 with the (failed) intention of generating WIFOM.

  • TL Mafia LXIX: Carol of the Bells: Town Cop Killed Night 2
    + Show Spoiler +
    I didn't play the game at all Day 1. I was required to vote or be modkilled, so I voted for the leading wagon without having any clue what was happening so that my vote wouldn't affect anything. Through late Day 2, most people were okay with lynching me. Towards the end of Day 2, I was getting very worried about dying and was very desperate, and ended up posting a case on KelsierSC that wasn't bad (primarily motivated by desperation). Scum thought that I might be a power role, and I was basically confirmed town, so I was killed that night.

  • Newbie Mini Mafia LX: Town Vanilla Killed Night 1
    + Show Spoiler +
    I was on a plane and missed a fair part of Day 1. I got night killed anyway because scum thought I was a threat, even though I hadn't really done anything yet.

  • Student Mafia V: Mafia Goon Lynched Day 2
    + Show Spoiler +
    I played really badly. Rsoultin caught me at the very start of the game. I got cop checked Night 1 and lynched the next day. Not much to say.

  • Linux Mini Mafia: Town Doctor Survived Night 1
    + Show Spoiler +
    We won the game Night 1 after a Day 1 scum lynch and a scum modkill. Not much to say. I was an active participant, though I didn't actually contribute very much actual helpful content to town.

  • Newbie Mini Mafia LXI: Town Vanilla Endgamed Day 4
    + Show Spoiler +
    A very painful game, and not just because I threw the game in 3 player LYLO. I managed to make one player extremely upset. I poured all of my effort into the game, and ended up making some very bad reads and being too abrasive.

    This game showed me that I wasn't as good as I thought I was. It also showed me that it doesn't work just to devote my life to the game, and it taught me that I'm really, really bad when trying to lead town (thought that doesn't stop me from trying, sometimes )

  • Mini Mafia Down Under 2: Town Vigilante Endgamed Day 4
    + Show Spoiler +
    First, it's worth mentioning Mini Mafia Down Under (the first game). The game was aborted. I played really, really badly, and most everyone thought I was scum. I had a fair chance of being lynched Day 1, but the game was cut short.

    I shot mafia Night 1, confirming myself as town. But throughout the game, I was extremely lazy and useless. My play this game was extremely bad, and I'm still ashamed of it. We lost pretty badly.

  • TL Mafia LXX: Guardians of the Galaxy: Town Veteran Lynched Day 7
    + Show Spoiler +
    Yet another bad game for me.

    I missed a lot of Day 1, and only ended up reading all of it by like Day 5 or something (IIRC). Many people were scumreading me, but I managed to pull off a really lucky night action with a special item to basically confirm me as town. I was fairly lazy and useless throughout the game.

  • Aperture Mafia 4: Third Party Dungeon Master Endgamed Night 3
    + Show Spoiler +
    I didn't really play, didn't really read the thread, and died quickly.

    The only notable thing this game is that in the Night 1 PMs, Holyflare posed as a science company and figured out that I wasn't town. That was really, really embarrassing.

  • Newbie Student Mafia 8

So, I was making a list of all of the games I've played, and my descriptions of them. But it was just too many words, and taking too long. I left what I had written spoilered above, just in case.

Basically, there are several games I've played extremely lazily. I often have trouble getting motivated to play as town. Meanwhile, playing as scum isn't as hard for me. I immediately know who my team is, and I have a responsibility to them. I know that I have a responsibility to town, too, but it's harder for me to feel it when I don't know who town is.

I'm a very emotional player, read my coaching QT from Newbie Mafia LXI and you'll see that immediately. And I'm also capable of extreme laziness, often tied to me being emotional, often tied to procrastinating.

I haven't gotten "burned out" from playing as mafia, but I do get "burned out" from playing as town. Look at my coaching QT from Newbie Mafia LXI, I burned out after Night 1 (first time surviving for more than 72 hours). I almost asked for a replacement. On the contrary, I was mostly fine with activity and effort throughout the game. Read the things I said postgame, and tell me I was worn out from it.

All of my questions (ok fine, only most of them.. not quite all) had a very distinct purpose. I don't feel the need to share my reads every second, only when there are major changes. And I don't feel the need to respond with "Thank you for answering my question" every time someone answers my question. Sometimes, I ask a question with multiple possible answers in mind, some of which are useless and some are useful. Often, these questions result in nothing; sometimes, they are very beneficial. Many things I learned from my questions are best kept to myself.

Also, if you really think that my "trolling" is alignment indicative... Look at my scum games. I was serious the entire time. Then look at my town games. It's true that this game, I've been the least serious of all of my games, but that doesn't mean I'm scum. For example, look at Aperture. If you want to see what me not caring and not playing looks like, that's it. I was third party, and I made one or two posts with reads, and then just collapsed. If I were burnt out from being mafia, THAT'S what my play would look like.

    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.

    I not scum what are you and Damdred smoking? Cocaine? Weed? Alcohol? Jesus Christ you are bad Breshke.
    Again, he's really aggressive about the claim, and assumes that Breshke is town.

    There are more examples, they're all similar.

    Contrast this to other games, for example Himalayas:

    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.

    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...

    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?"

    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.

    There's a very clear difference in tone between these games.

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

    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.

ah ye olde crack/weed/alcohol meta read


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?

First point. Okay, I missed it. Could you please point it out to me? To me, the fact that he responds exactly the same way every time (well okay, every time except for one) is extremely scummy and feels fake.

Second point. It's primarily about the early townread on Damdred. However, the fact that he actively changes his play in response to what people scumread him for shows that he accepts that he did scummy things, but he still accuses everyone who scumreads him of doing drugs?

And there is a very notable difference. The content is unchanged, it's the tone. "Please give me your thoughts" and "Can I please have your reads" are very different. The first is like a request, and while he's being polite, he isn't at all doubting that there will be an answer. "Can I please have your reads" is still polite, but considers the possibility that this will be refused. It feels a lot less confident.

I just feel genuinely sorry that you guys are going to lynch me, because I haven't been playing my best. You guys deserve better.

I know it sounds really shallow, but I honestly feel pretty awful about this.

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.

Don't lynch rsoultin, that's really stupid.

Voting ritoky for now, will check back in a bit, hopefully.

Damdred didn't play very well last game (as town), and I did like his play early on (the LightningStrike push).

This is really all you have? Really?
It's all I have time to share right now.

If you actually take time to check what I'm saying, you will see it. Read some Holyflare games if you need to.

explain.
I'm pretty confident that she's town.

Primarily because she knows how to play scum very well. Here, her play feels a bit off, but not necessarily in a scummy way. Rsoultin's scum play feels overall very solid, but it lacks the spark of her town play. Here, I think I do see that spark. Also, I think she'd be less argumentative as scum....

Trfel you say this is the worst you have played any game. Rsoultin town reads you before you even play despite you playing at your worst. You don't bat an eyelid. Explain?
You caught me in Aperture in a really, really stupid way. I'm extremely easy to catch on personality stuff, if you have the aid of faster communication (PMs) or know my thought process and town mindset.

Rsoultin and I have actually spent a fair amount of time talking about mafia, how to make reads, and how we play. She uses a bunch of personality-meta combination reads (aka reads that don't always depend on how (objectively) well a person is playing. She's correctly read me in every single game we've played together (the vast majority of all of the games I've played), including catching me as mafia on like my third post in Student Mafia V, figuring out that I was third party in Aperture pretty early on, and townreading me in all the games I played really badly (one exception being Mafia Down Under 1, which was entirely my fault). She even identified my smurf Qwerty! as being me, and that I was town, without me saying anything.

To be honest, if rsoultin ever gets my alignment wrong, I can be almost certain that she's mafia.
