If I am right, that is a really dumb reason to have your initial read in the first place.

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.


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.

Ritoky can you post my refutation to trfel's case so he can talk about it because it's from someone he's not ignoring for irrational reasons. Post it as your own words so it looks legit.

This seems like a major overreaction tbh.
Why are you so pissy about my vote?

Honestly marv doesn't really look like anything, but Hf calling him out when nothing has happened seems a bit out of the ordinary. I'd imagine town!Hf wouldn't even care about Marv at all considering what an easily-resolved player he is.


And I'm not pissy - I just called it a shit vote because, well, it is.

No, you misunderstood here. Marv usually does a bit more as town then his one post - he's probably waiting for his buddy Palmar - they love to interact - I'm not caring for Marv. HF has a slight townlean for now, I liked his first post (although it could have been pre-made, I had a mindmeld with it)


I don't really follow what this guy's opinion on marv was. In the first post it looks like he wants to incite suspicion and in the second he emphasizes he didn't really care about it.

Like that's at least the second time he's read something completely wrong in addition to taking things out of context. He's a quite decent lynch as well.

In fact I was reading in context and that post is written so badly Kelsier had to ask again as well (wanna lynch him too?), and I see no other version that makes sense.

Seems quite clear. Kelsier's all like, "LOL WUT??? U LIKE MARV'S BIG GAY DICK?" Scott's all like, "U RED DAT RONG BITCH. I DON'T LIKE MARV BUT HE MAY BE WAITING FOR PALMER."

I understand that english isn't your first language. But your comprehension is terrible. Somehow you thought Oats was the thread sentiment when I pushed him. Now you're trying to make a case where there's literally nothing there. You're completely divorced from any sort of actual reality. I'm just trying to figure out if you're a few nuts short of a fruitcake or if you're plain old mafia. Either way, you're a detriment.

I want to be clear. I think Vivax is a pretty terrible player. But this level of incompetence is really pretty stunning. Any vigi who doesn't shoot him is not clearly thinking through their shot.

It's pretty clear. In the first he's talking about Marv lacking impetus to post/play as mafia. In the second he's saying maybe Marv is town wants to have fun with Palmer instead of other shit. But Scott is clear that he still doesn't like the low activity. They're conflicting thoughts along the same line. It's not Marv clearly 100% mafia then Marv clearly maybe 50% mafia. It's, "I don't like Marv's low activity and that makes me think he's mafia but maybe he just wants to be chill this game instead of 20p filters. This isn't rocket science.

This is what you say in your odd confidence, not what he said. You also leave out the part from the second post where he said he didn't care about marv previously but the first post is formulated as if.

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.

    You already got a vote on someone like he's scum it not going to be just his entrance it would be for other things as the game goes on...

    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.

    ##Vote Lightningstrike

    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:

    I've never seen LightningStrike respond to scumreads as aggressively as he has in this game.

    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:
    On July 06 2015 07:55 Damdred wrote:
    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:

    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?"

    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.

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.
