Rayn's makes sense, GB's doesn't. reads can feed into that, but having a "read" on someone like Cake, be stronger than the claim analysis just strikes me as super-duper weird. I shouldn't have to explain this. +1 Also like I said last night, there's one caveat to Cake being mafia and that's the fact she pushed gb most of day 1, although as I alluded to her list post, it was for bad reasons. A day 1 bus is unlikely for most people from what I understand but if gb was getting enough pressure by the time she really started pushing him, a bus situation may be more realistic. I have not looked at that quite closely yet but it was something that came to mind looking through the people that were pushing gb day 1. | ||

he balks d1 at not being town leader or something like that, he asks for the case on copcake, and his only scumread for what I could tell was slam which amounts to a bit of omgus. I looked into slam's read change or potential read change on superbia and it makes sense, the change based on fidei's reads on him. Someone (scott? or was it fidei?) mentioned there was a lot of questions coming from him and not a lot of "doing" with those questions. so since you're here fidei, can we talk about superbia? I think he has a pretty realistic chance of being scum. | ||

MD if you are still here who do you think the final scum could be? (assuming gb flips red and if copcake is mafia in your world) | ||

It is going to be fairly funny if mafia medic dodged not killing rayn by killing yamato when rayn is the medic. Not that yam wasn't townie in his own right | ||

I'm scumreading cake based on her behaviour and Scott even mentioned the filter was poor list post aside. But I am willing to re-evaluate. | ||

Then why is your filter from D2 basically purely focused on telling "why Cake is mafia"? Because the townie thing to do, if you realize she isn't, is to say: "it does not matter, she cannot be mafia". Instead of these posts: On September 08 2015 09:33 NocturneMage wrote: Hang on. I kept hammering the same post home d1. Going to find it again lol.

I'm also not impressed she couldn't readily produce the associative reads off her top scum read. | ||

Look at page 7 of Superbia's filter we have the following - Scumread on MD that amounts to TMI on n00bking. Scumread on Fidei that is related to his voting - and he hasn't followed up since. Scumread on Alakaslam where Alakaslam mentions in each of his posts why the town read on superbia is there and why he's re-evaluating (fidei's post), he's even said he's reconsidering and still had to look up superbia. So I don't know where superbia gets "soft pushing" from. It's basically that both needed to follow up there, but the point remains. Then superbia asks md whether gb is town or mafia, and asks for the case on copcake, and he just isn't or had not done anything with it. And he was present when the claim situation went down, he has yet to vote. So I'm curious to see where he stands on fidei and md because regardless of the claim analysis there's serious lack of followup from his end, although the fact he's not even taken a stance on the claim situation just looks really bad too. | ||

that's why I'm talking about a possible bus in a world where gb and cake are both mafia, do I think it's likely, probably not, but her gameplay has me thinking twice. I'd hate to have just entirely ignored the possibility where someone (anyone) makes a sick bus early on in the game and then rides that cred to victory. | ||

But consider this: Breshke says "Lynch GB!" then GB claims doctor, Breshke says "Lynch GB!" without considering anything else, not even asking questions. I mean he was willing into the un-CC'ed doctor, right? That's not too town indicative so I strongly disagree with your point of saying "Bresh more town than Rayn". Breshke is a null for me currently. So also Yamato and Rayn (at first) | ||

If you think my scum reading copcake is mafia driven or flawed (or with md's) I'm surprised she hasn't refuted the points made. Personally I understand the confirmation bias argument with some of the points made by md, but to me it's just when you take all those points together, you have a fairly strong case. Even if you or her think the case is bad if she was town, I don't get why she isn't carrying on and looking for the other two scum or in her world where gb and md are scum, the last scum. At some point, to me, any town just sitting back and not doing anything isn't going to help. | ||

I don't understand where that second question comes from. It's an either/or situation: Cake is town and her push on gb was towny. Cake is mafia and had a strategy where she pushed gb for the cred. Where day 1 busses are rare, you look at someone's behavior and weigh that against (1) the timing and content of her push and (2) the behaviour of other players in the game (ie if enough of them are towny, you could poe her out) Which ultimately gauges how likely she is to be mafia. Based on my thoughts about her behaviour that is why the bus thing is still a possibility. | ||

If you want to push Cake who has been calling GB mafia all game long fine. Please do. When GB flips i will convince the town to lynch Moosydoosy. If you do continue this i will also convince the town lynch you after Moosydoosy flips scum. Because oh boy, after that you look really stupid if you are town. | ||
