I would definitely vote Sulfurus.

Looking through Breshke now, I could see him being either alignment.

To sum up

- Vote on Barakos was early but it was after people noticed the reaction test, and it was after Barakos left 16h in, he voted 10h after. Could go either way.
- He spends a decent part of the first cycle on ruxxar and then out of nowhere he says "I don't think ruxxar is scum anymore" granted there's a 24h gap between the posts he was on about it, so maybe it's him just being unclear if he actually read the thread or he could be scum giving an easy townread.
- Evolution of Sulfurus read (beyond the initial townread) is unclear and beyond the request on Sulfurus' read on n00bking, he asks Sulfurus read on n00b, which Sulfurus provides and then I see Breshke saying I like n00bking's response regarding the voting wagon.

Breshke defends Sulfurus saying "mafia wouldn't do X" not sure if that's a meta read in the next posts he's doing but if he's not really going anywhere on Sulfurus (I think a similar point was raised on Barakos?), I think a Breshke and Sulfurus scumteam could be possible.

It would at least fit the theory that the scumteam was ineffective, whoever raised that point up.

And to answer his question:
As for my evolution of reads on Breshke. While he has been having townie interactions with others, he’s been afk for far too long for me to enjoy having him in my townie circle. My primary fear is Mafia that is afk so that it’s almost impossible to read them. For now he is null due to his continued absence from the thread although if he posts or answers my questions I will be happy to re-evaluate.


Again, there's the possibility of a world with Illuminati so let's not all get so tunneled.


Illuminati with respect to this game means....?

Alright, so I'm a little more clear on the last part of why you'd lynch Breshke. Fair.

Alright leaving work very soon so I'll be mostly AFK until tomorrow! For now my scumteam is Sulfurus + Flexes/scott. Maybe Breshke instead of one of those two.
And if I'm wrong on one those three, mayyyyyyybe MD, TT or NM, though I will really need some rock solid cases to consider voting them.

If you're not voting Sulfurus, or just want to know the case against him, it's here:
NM thoughts
noobking's thoughts
Disformation's thoughts
Rels' case

I still think Flexes is mafia.
There is no reason a townie would say "i am writing a reads post right now" if they are not doing so.
I find that impossible.

Like this game is pretty straightforward. People who do scummy things are usually scum. If someone thinks they themselves did a scummy thing they are scum. rofl. Saying you are doing something you actually aren't is a scummy thing.

Flexes is lying, as proven by the thread. It doesn't matter if it "makes sense for him to do that as mafia". It matters that no townie ever says they are DOING something they actually aren't.

Simple things are simple.


I want to lynch flexes more than moosey now.

Also i don't see why people assume that barakos scum mates would have known he was going to stop playing. If he was around to tell them he wouldnt be posting it is very likely he would have just posted in the thread instead.

I also like noobking even more now for his post on we should be looking for the most scummy people not the people most likely to bus because the later is stupid.

Q1 Reasons for lynching Flexes ?

You had quite a few posts defending Sulfurus. See spoiler.

Damdred is... probably town? I don't know I am getting a weird feeling from him right now. My only game with him I was mafia and he was town so I'd rate my ability to read him as a "meh"

I kinda agree about Mossy, I'll get to my read of him a little later. I did give him a card earlier for a reason.

As for the Tarot... Well you should recall that I enjoyed batsnacks little I-ching read that game. I've been wanting to do something similar.

Mostly people decided to ignore it, which is possibly the correct response ^.^ It does kinda force me to stop, not that I ever intended to be that useless all game.

So Bre, tell me. Why do you seem so off this game?

Like, you don't seem to be trying very hard to get reads. The first half of the day you really only talked about ruXx or MD, now your suddenly jumping on board this Bara wagon (which I'm not sold on) and are giving away a town read on sulf for basically nothing.


Ok that makes sense I guess.

If you are comparing this to our mason game it isn't going to be the same, there i was more enthusiastic partly because i felt like i owed it to you. This phase is also over friday/saturday for me which is not good for me.

Was there much more to talk about? I'm fairly sure i also said i thought noobking was town. The bara wagon is good, even if it isn't I think bara is skilled enough to convince me/others that he is town so there isn't really much more to look into about him at the moment if he doesn't come back.

The sulf read might seem like nothing but tell me if he is mafia why does he put out an auto list. He even has said that he will discuss the reads when people ask. Like why does mafia do this especially when they are usually an inactive player. It just feels so out there that sulf as mafia with perfect imformation thinks to himself yeah i will put out a list where ive solved the game in my third post.

@ Bre

Struck me as odd that you ignored the nonsense I was doing with no comments, and yea just in general weren't really engaging a lot.

Based on your responses to me here I'm willing to shrug it off for the time being.

As for Sulf... He's really just floating doing his own thing?

This "auto" list seems somewhat towny, but it's timing is weird. Also his PoE list looks too much like the majority sentiment of the game right now. I could be wrong but especially after that last post about Bara I really have the sense he might just be trying to show effort without really doing anything.


I thought it might have been going somewhere i wasn't going to interrupt. Also if it didn't go somewhere and you continued that would have been good info as well.

How is the timing weird?

What did you expect him to have on bara though other than what is already out there. I wouldn't say it is scummy that he has no "new" things about bara if anything it is scummy that he chose to explain that read first and in so many words instead of just saying like "what rayn said was good" but i think it is possible that he thinks it wouldnt be appropriate giving that response.

Sulf can you explain your Noobking scumread, that is the one I am most interested in.

On July 25 2015 14:49 Breshke wrote:
Also general things like thread sentiment can be a bit meh like for example im scumeading moosey and bara. That is thread sentiment and ive taken less hard stances than sul did in that one post yet you havn't said you thought it was scummy that im following thread sentiment.

Yes i get that other than that point mine and sulfs play has been different but having that as one of the main things you don't like about him is very general and it is easy to scumread an inactive player for stuff like that.

Posting this auto-lynch concept and selling it could very well be a last ditch effort of doing "something".

I don't like it because a lot of my scum reads are in his town pile ^.^

Also I have at least 2 maybe 3 solid town reads in his PoE list so that makes me nervous as well...


Then ask him specifically about those people?

You most recently asked him about damdred and flex and from what i can tell you agree with him that damdred is town so leave that for now and ask specifically about the reads you disagree with.. If sulf is town he wants to engage with people about his list and if it is a "las ditch effort" from a sulf mafia then it will be hard for him to back his list up with reasoning



Q2 Are you still town reading him ?

In particular, you adviced to ask Sulfurus for more infos on his list.

Tictock seems really weird from what I've read of his filter - I just don't see Breshke being mafia with such an early vote and not moving it - was Barakos that scummy?

It's a lot to read all the pages again. Can anyone point to any big points I may have missed?

Two questions.

Why is TT really weird ?

rayn said "be aware of sulf and breshke"
You answer "I just don't see Breshke being mafia with such an early vote and not moving it"
But Sulfurus voted 8 minutes after Breshke and didn't move it. Why do you mention Breshke and not Sulfurus ?

Also since Sulfurus posted his PoE very late, it is possible that he put Barakos on top of it to get some town cred to maybe get some misslynches going?
At that point even if scum didn't know if Barakos would come back or not, it looked very much like he would be lynched, soit is a decent/easy way of getting town cred?

Though of course all this stuff is kinda WIFOM and such and I wouldn't base my scum read only on that. Look at Rels case or my recent posts on Sulfurus for plenty other reasons to vote him though.

Yeah it is WIFOM, but it is a plausible scenario. At the very least, it proves that him voting / pushing Barakos is not town indicative.

It is a plausible scenario. The only issue I would have with it is that I question whether Sulfurus would really believe that this "Town Cred" (once he had earned it) would actually enable him to lead mislynches.

Imagine you are Scum Sulfy in this game, and consider the performance of Scum Sulfy in his last two games. Can you talk yourself into believing that if you bus Barakos and people townread you for it, you'll actually be active enough (and convincing enough) to be a major factor in getting some mislynches later? Seems iffy at best.

But whatever. Human beings are notoriously bad at self-analysis. So maybe he would think he could pull it off, even if I think it sounds hard to swallow. And it's possible that he wasn't thinking that far down the line. He might not have looked beyond "bus partner, get Town Cred" to actually think about what he needed to DO with that Town Cred once he had it.

To add - I know what bussing means, but I'm trying to grasp the relationship between where someone is on a voting wagon and the likeliness of that person being scum.

Depending on the nature of the lynch, there are certain places along the voting order where you are more likely and less likely to find Scum.

In a mislynch on a Town player, there are particular slots in that voting order where the scum are more likely to be sitting.

In a very tight vote count that results in a Scum lynch, it is less likely that there will be Scum votes on the lynched player at all. (There was just an example of this in Newbie XII, where Sulfurus was lynched as Scum in a tight vote, and it turned out that 0 of the players who voted against Sulf were Scum.)

In a landslide vote that results in a Scum lynch, there are again particular slots in the voting order where a teammate who is bussing is more likely to be sitting.

I learned what these slots are through experience in my own games, and when applying it to games that I only observed, the patterns hold true. (Not all the time, of course. But often enough to call them "patterns.") Ticktock has apparently learned what the slots are through his own experience as well, so that when he named 3 players that are most likely to have bussed Barakos, he named exactly the same 3 players I would have. And when I questioned him about how he selected those 3 names, he gave exactly the same reasoning I used.

After thinking this through pretty carefully, I don't think that I should offer you a full explanation of exactly why those are the slots to look in. Because the Mafia may not know about these patterns and how they work (and if YOU'RE Mafia, then it is pretty obvious that the Mafia doesn't know about them) and if I overexplain the principles, I'm inviting you to WIFOM me with them later in the game. If you only know which slots but don't know WHY, you'll have a tougher time putting together reasoning that could trick me into participating in a mislynch.

We need more specific language from you, if you want to keep Sulfurus out of the Noose. Where is Flexes in that progression? If Moosy is "more towards the bottom" then is Flexes AT the bottom? Or is Moosy your best scum read, among the players who weren't on the wagon?

We do not lynch sulfurus.
If you think whrn every single person in the game is okay with lynching him except for me and Damdred, will he flip mafia?

Lynch tictock. Unless you cant see why he is mafia, especially with this retarded push on sulfurus, then at least vote for scott, who is also mafia.

I expect this is evident, but you'd have a much better chance of me voting against Scott than against Ticktock. If Damdred thinks Moosy is the lynch (instead of either of your targets) then I'll let you guys have that debate. I don't really think Moosy is a good lynch today though.

Meh. Will read TT's filter again. Willing to switch to scott, if he doesn't show up with good. Still would like at least some pressure on Sulfurus.
Random note: super tired, couldn't sleep for 2hours after going to bed and have slept only 4h as a result. So this stuff might happen some time tomorrow, since it might colapse into bed soonish.

Why Sulfurus has to be mafia: the easiest case in the world

Yes. In spoiler you will find the only post Sulfurus made D1. Not even good apparently.

I'll be interested to see what Sulfurus brings to the table in this game. I felt like it was pretty easy to distinguish his scum game from his Town game


I could say the same about you.



2. His playstyle
Sulfurus played three games prior to this one: newbie X, XI and XII. He was lynched in all three.
In the first he was VT (see? I'm learning). In the other two he was GF. He had the same playstyle that is displayed is this game; very few posts, not much explanations, sudden attacks on people.

I just can't believe he would keep this style if he was townie.

3. Voting on Barakos
Sulfurus voted on Barakos after half of D1, clearly sheeping the thread sentiment. While voting for a mafia is never scum indicative, the way he did it is not town indicative either because:
- Barakos hadn't posted for 8 hours at the time.
- He almost only talked about Barakos. In fact, he only made two meaningful post: one case on Barakos, and one case on noobking. We'll talk about the noobking's post later, no worries.

4. No explanation on his list
Sulfurus posted this:

Town lean on Damdred. Will reread him and post proper reasons when I am at home.
Need to look st Rels filter.
While I didn't mind NocturneMages questions in the beginning I think it is time for him to come back here and at least try to put out some reads.

also: a lot of ppl haven't voted yet, right? should get to that.

Did you notice our reads are similar, or does that not change anything?

Moosy was number 2 on his list, and he never explained his read of him. Just voted him off.

Keep grasping at those straws. I said he was unmemorable right before saying I was going to look at his filter from that game. After looking at the filter, he has at least 50 posts in that game that are not in the format you were talking about. The fact that I found him to be unmemorable before looking at his filter means nothing.

Conclusion
Mafia.

##Vote Sulfurus


Pretty decent case, I could sheep this..

##Vote Sulfurus

I'm still not caring for TT or n00bking either, n00b is really defensive and doesn't look like his town game. Pretty sure two of the mafia are in these three.

I'm doing some research on Chronic kidney disease, lipids and apolipoproteins so
I'll be on and off today.

Tictock seems really weird from what I've read of his filter - I just don't see Breshke being mafia with such an early vote and not moving it - was Barakos that scummy?

It's a lot to read all the pages again. Can anyone point to any big points I may have missed?

Two questions.

Why is TT really weird ?

rayn said "be aware of sulf and breshke"
You answer "I just don't see Breshke being mafia with such an early vote and not moving it"
But Sulfurus voted 8 minutes after Breshke and didn't move it. Why do you mention Breshke and not Sulfurus ?



The tarot thing to being quite off on everything and not on the Bark wagon - he looks better than the other three though

I did not know Sulf voted for him eight minutes later and did the same, just that Breshke was the second vote. There's a lot of D1 I have not read yet since joining in.

lol, NONSENSE. What didn't you understand about "If n00bKing is Scum, and knows there is a Cop in the game, he can be very confident that he will not be checked by Rels (even on the off chance that Rels is that Cop, which is already unlikely for reasons that I can't explain without damaging the Town)."?

I don't understand. You are saying:

- I'm probably not the cop
- On the off-chance I'm the cop, I won't check you

I don't understand why you are saying that. Especially the second part.

HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT??

I still don't get why you are saying this:
- On the off-chance I'm the cop, I won't check you

This is going nowhere. Let's stop here.


Let's not stop here, I want an answer to this.
Why would rels not check n00nking if rels is cop.

Explain like I'm 5.
You already called me dumb so I need extra spoon feeding.


Really want an answer on this from n00b.

I can not comment objectively, but I think Tiktock spoke the truth. We should concentrate on other people that noobking or myself. We're both pretty angry, so nothing productive will happen if we're pushed.

Any thought on Sulfurus ruxxar ?


??

Why do you not want an answer to this question?
I don't think his "answer" made ANY sense at all.

Yesterday I was in his shoes. I wrote a big post saying how he was mafia for a tons of reasons, and when I reread it before posting I realize most of it was nonsense. I'm pretty happy I did not post it. I mean, read his last posts. He got progressively angry and started using majs. Mafia are usually calmer than that.

I too don't understand this sentence, but I decided to ignore him for the day and let him and I get more calm. We'll continue this tomorrow. IMO you should do the same.

Maybe I won't be like that if we didn't have other solid leads. But I feel Sulfurus and Flexes are very suspicious, and TT and MD are worth talking about.


I'm always worth talking about...

What is this soul-read you have on me?
WIth perfect information comes the ease of covering your lies in pretty words.

I still hate you. Spot spouting poetry shit and get to business you fool. Traps D1 like this are so bad it's ridiculous. It's completely dependent on the Mafia making a slip while people jump on your wagon. In either case, no one is taking you seriously at this point because of your poetry nonsense so you might as well just stop at this point. It's the last few hours we have. Get down to business.


This post is rather Ironic due to the way Moosy himself played D1 as town in the last NSM, interesting as well since Moosy's ploy worked in that game.

I also find it very interesting that MD is focusing so heavily on RuXx both in this post and in most of his filter. At the time of this post I had begun posting my tarot stuff which was clearly more nonsensical than ruxx's poetry, yet MD ignores my nonsense and focuses entirely on ruxx.

In fact most of MD's filter is just arguments with ruxx over silly points, and none of it ever really goes anywhere.

This leads me to believe that MD is not really interested in people focusing on the game (as he would have mentioned my Tarot stuff) and is actually just trying to create some filter by fighting and calling a few minor points out.

There was also the overly long and drawn out stuff between MD and Breshke where MD kept dodging some questions. To me it looked like MD was trying to stir up something but when he got called out had to scramble to justify it.

I actually think MD is a pretty good lynch here today. So gunna leave my vote on him and take another look at things nearer EoD.

##Vote: MoosyDoosy


Looking at the Tictock/Moosy relationship and Tictock's filter from this standpoint.

Is the Moosy scumread a meta read? The way Moosy is going about it is he's saying "I'm mafia" etc, and just seemingly (outside the townreads) making himself look dumb at points, which I assume is trolling, I read part of the last newbie and Moosy also seemed self destructive purposely in that game.

Tictock, if Moosy is dodging questions like you are saying, how do you know it's not the same self-destructive stuff he did last game? How are you sure he's not doing it out of spite (which to me would be in line with the overall way he's acting)?


I don't and that's the problem. I know he is capable of playing this way as town, but whats to prevent MD from using the same tactic as mafia to dodge questions and stuff?

Posts like this are a perfect example of why MD looks so scummy to me.

In his last scum game, his first post was strange, and his posts never improved. The only post of his that doesn't match his Scum games looks like a lazy mimic from his Town game in Newbie X, when he decided he couldn't figure out how to play Townie without being Townie, so he just does some copy & paste work from a game where he was Town. Reads are bad. Volunteers to offer more information about his reads, if anyone asks for it. People ask for information about his more controversial reads, and he fails to offer more information about some of them, while posting additional info about his read that already matched thread sentiment. Every time the dude posts, I do my best to read with an open mind, and then it just ends up being another strike against him.


Since he has a similar view of Sulfurus meta as Rels I am getting more confident in Sulfurus being scum.

Let's not forget I was the first one to mention Sulfurus ever once the game started. But then again, that was just me hard busing because i'm Mafia. So never mind. Carry on.


-The bolded is true, but but it doesn't mean jack all. Never even bothered to push Sulf at all D1, then randomly votes N1. So he only really gets credit for mentioning that Sulf was in the game and that he's rolled mafia before.

He's probably Mafia Godfather tbh.


- Then we get back to more "I'm mafia" talk. True he did this as town before, but he's only using it this game to dodge questions. Last game he was much more clearly using this tactic to try and be lynchbait but here it's only coming up when questions are asked of him or people push on him. I see no reason to believe this is not scum!MD trying to abuse something he did as town last game.

So I feel just fine keeping my vote on him.

Also do note, he didn't bother to share those reads until Night phase, during Day phase he did basically nothing and never even bothered to vote. Like nothing I read from MD D1 suggested to me he was at all interested in solving the game.

In regards to Sulf.

I'm totally for him being a lynch target today. I've been saying pretty much all the same stuff as everyone making a case on him.

For now I dont mind leaving my vote on MD (for reasons I stated in last post) even though Sulf is voting for him as well. Based on his Auto list MD was clearly Sulf's next target so him placing a vote on him is just following through what he said in that post and NAI.

Having said that.

@Sul
Why don't you explain to us your reads in detail. Starting with why you think Moosy is the best lynch today.

Also, at what point do you rethink your list? A D1 PoE list is very unlikely to be accurate.
I can take that responsibility.
