@Rels: what are your reads currently?

almost finished catching up, atm my reads are:
pretty sure they are town: LS, GB
maybe town: marv (will re evaluate at EOD), rayn, rsoultin, Damdred
null: sicklucker, Shining, moosy

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Trfel!
(musical version)

Soundtrack for this post

As some of you may know, I really appreciate instrumental music. As with most things, my knowledge of classical music is very limited (I only know a few of the major symphonies, for example), but that doesn't stop me from enjoying music. My tastes in music are fairly strange and specific, which I suppose comes partly from my musical background.

I have no real music theory education, but I have been playing trumpet for a while, throughout grade school and continuing in college. I like to think that I'm quite good at it, but unfortunately musical instruments are very challenging for most people and it would take me far more effort than I feel comfortable giving to get my trumpet playing to the next level. So I'm stuck playing in one of the boring bands at the university, which just has a bunch of people who feel like playing their instrument once in a while but aren't terribly good at it. And I've found myself really losing my appreciation for playing and practicing trumpet, which is very sad because I've spent so much time working on my trumpet playing over the past five years or so, but I'm not sure if there is anything that I can do about it.

But I still enjoy music a ton. Not just listening to it, but being a part of it. So I'm trying to learn how to compose music. It's quite difficult because I have no formal theory training (just whatever I've picked up over my years with trumpet and coming from a fairly musical family), and my piano playing skills are next to zero (and piano playing is basically how everyone composes music). So it will definitely be a difficult learning period, but I hope that I can push through it.

I have a keyboard in my room now, full 88 keys. I've tried to play it several times, but I'm so bad that it's painful to listen to myself. If anyone has any tips for starting on the piano, I'm very interested XD

But the piano has proved useful for testing new chords and progressions for my songs. I don't have much yet, and the progress is slow, but I'm hoping that I can figure out how to compose proper music.

I generally enjoy music with heavier usage of brass instruments (I do play trumpet, after all). John Williams has done some incredible things with brass in many of his famous movie scores and other compositions. In particular, his french horn usage is amazing. I also found an old CD of some Miklos Rosza film music, and that's been really enjoyable as well. The style of music used in film scores seems very fun to compose, play, and listen to, as there is much more freedom in the music itself (though modern movies tend to utilize the musical score more for background only, and don't use a recurring melody that brings the music directly to people's attention, which I find a bit lacking).

Despite having basically no idea what I'm doing, I'm very excited about the possibilities and hope to create some good songs.

One great band piece to end the post (or at least, I think it's a great band piece ):

TLDR please? Also guys I'm town this game let's get some scum lynched!

TLDR:

yada yada music yada

not posting cause music yada yada
Anyway, this post is extremely scummy. Rsoultin is clearly mafia.

Why does she not take a stance? She's just fanning the flames and waiting to see where everyone comes down instead of actually leading the thread.

##vote rsoultin

Policy lynching her already? Oh please I thought that post was funny from her lol.

Wait

You are going against Moosy but have him as null, you scum read JRoc without saying much about him and you would lynch truffle for what reason?

I asked two questions to Moosy, waiting for his answer on the "mechanical" stuff to see if he had an idea behind his read or if it was just bullshit.
About JRoc rayn showed me he bullshited about a statement: this was about rayn being a buser.

OK. So J Roc saying you are a buser is bullshit.

Are you really saying I didn't post any reason to scumread Trfel ? I've said plenty and he is the only active guy I would lynch right now. I don't understand his tone switching from joke to serious (need to check if that is really the case), I don't undersatnd his rsoultin scumread, I don't understand him attacking LS about not try harding when he was the only tryhard at the time. Read through the last few posts to check all that.

Tonal reads which I don't expect you to understand since you're a more thread-evidence player yourself. But for what it matters, look through GB's filter. Most of his posts are very similar. There are some where the GB spark shows through as I said, but otherwise, it's a field of gray with only a few pinpricks.

Then there's the fact that GB is kind of focused and concentrating this game which throws me off. I actually started to townread him because of this as it's totally different from my scum game where we were partners until he said his posts weren't mechanical which is untrue.

OK I'm currently trying to see what you're seeing. And I'm failing. He's answering joke posts by funny one liners ? Is that what you are seeing ?

I'll compile why I think Trfel is mafia. I dropped the "funny then serious then funny" stuff 'cause I don't think it is scum indicative.

1 - His scumread of rsoultin has weird bases; seems to me he decided to scumread rsoultin but doesn't know why he's doing it

The timeline is the following:
A - rsoultin is scum for having a weird reaction to Trfel's first post and not leading the thread forward. I thought this vote was a joke, but apparently not.

oh is this the post you didn't get, truffle?

all i was saying was that you had already posted the "post to get reactions/discussion started" post, and that gb could move on to something more productive

i don't know why i always assume these things are blindingly obvious lol ><
Basically, GlowingBear made this one post purely to generate discussion. His other posts before this post that you made were serious posts.

The post you quoted, the "I'm town" post, does nothing to promote discussion at all. My opening posts also didn't end up creating any discussion.

Basically, your post claims that my opening posts actually had a purpose and created discussion, and GlowingBear was actually succeeding at making provocative posts. Both claims I disagree with.

Hm, but now that I think about it I don't think that this is a good argument

Wow, I'm really bad at this.


I don't understand this rsoultin read progression. It really feels like Trfel decided rsoultin was scum but had a hard time finding the reason why. It is scum indicative 'cause mafia do exactly that; they decide who to scumread and who to townread for strategic purposes, then look for things that makes their targets townie or scummy.

My tastes in music are fairly strange and specific, which I suppose comes partly from my musical background.

I have no real music theory education, but I have been playing trumpet for a while, throughout grade school and continuing in college. I like to think that I'm quite good at it, but unfortunately musical instruments are very challenging for most people and it would take me far more effort than I feel comfortable giving to get my trumpet playing to the next level. So I'm stuck playing in one of the boring bands at the university, which just has a bunch of people who feel like playing their instrument once in a while but aren't terribly good at it. And I've found myself really losing my appreciation for playing and practicing trumpet, which is very sad because I've spent so much time working on my trumpet playing over the past five years or so, but I'm not sure if there is anything that I can do about it.

But I still enjoy music a ton. Not just listening to it, but being a part of it. So I'm trying to learn how to compose music. It's quite difficult because I have no formal theory training (just whatever I've picked up over my years with trumpet and coming from a fairly musical family), and my piano playing skills are next to zero (and piano playing is basically how everyone composes music). So it will definitely be a difficult learning period, but I hope that I can push through it.

I have a keyboard in my room now, full 88 keys. I've tried to play it several times, but I'm so bad that it's painful to listen to myself. If anyone has any tips for starting on the piano, I'm very interested XD

But the piano has proved useful for testing new chords and progressions for my songs. I don't have much yet, and the progress is slow, but I'm hoping that I can figure out how to compose proper music.

I generally enjoy music with heavier usage of brass instruments (I do play trumpet, after all). John Williams has done some incredible things with brass in many of his famous movie scores and other compositions. In particular, his french horn usage is amazing. I also found an old CD of some Miklos Rosza film music, and that's been really enjoyable as well. The style of music used in film scores seems very fun to compose, play, and listen to, as there is much more freedom in the music itself (though modern movies tend to utilize the musical score more for background only, and don't use a recurring melody that brings the music directly to people's attention, which I find a bit lacking).

Despite having basically no idea what I'm doing, I'm very excited about the possibilities and hope to create some good songs.

One great band piece to end the post (or at least, I think it's a great band piece ):

TLDR:

not posting cause music yada yada
Anyway, this post is extremely scummy. Rsoultin is clearly mafia.

Why does she not take a stance? She's just fanning the flames and waiting to see where everyone comes down instead of actually leading the thread.

##vote rsoultin

Policy lynching her already? Oh please I thought that post was funny from her lol.

So Trfel, show me how you could have thought LS didn't "do something about it instead of just commenting"

This point is null if Trfel can explain why he thought LS wasn't tryharding. But I'm not seeing an explanation.

Rayn who is with you in your scum qt?

All of these posts are very bland. Like they're supposed to be banter but it's almost a sea of gray as if GB is forcing(?)/faking(?) the banter.

Which just made me more suspicious when he started focusing on Trfel/Damdred straight away. I don't know GB's meta too well so I'm not sure if he's normally this focused or not. The thing is that he did bring two good points on Trfel and Damdred.

This combination of not being sure about GB's meta and how he's bringing up good things made me town lean him for a while.

Oh OK. For me this kind of posts are 100% NAI, I focus on other things. But I understand your mechanical read.
And I didn't like GB attacking you as soon as you came back to the thread, before you had a chance to answer.

It is scum indicative 'cause mafia do exactly that; they decide who to scumread and who to townread for strategic purposes, then look for things that makes their targets townie or scummy.

how often do you see examples of mafia actually scumreading someone and then making themselves look really stupid with the subsequent explanations?

not often i wager

sure mafia decide who they are going to town/mafiaread for strategic purposes, but they then usually decide the reasons as well so what happened to Trfel doesn't happen

i grant you it's a strange thing, but you're not selling its scummyness to me right now

I agree it's stupid. It is the most likely explanation though; how do you explain town Trfel keeping his rsoultin scumread even after admitting his first reason was bad ? I mean, his first reason was so bad I dismissed the post as a joke.
The only explanation for town Trfel to do that is if he is joking with rsoultin, like getting her angry on purpose for humour.

It's like he says one thing then suddenly he says something completely different when anything should really have not changed in his opinion.

It's not obvious from the post you quoted, but if that is what happened, then it is similar to this game's rsoultin read progression.

Trfel had called ruxxar mafia for 3 ird-days. (D1/N1).
On D2 he says what is quoted red in my post.

oooo I thought you were talking about deconduo's read!!
Yeah if he scumread ruxxar all game, the sentence "I need to look closer at ruxxar" makes 0 sense. It is not exactly what's happening this game (Trfel didn't forget why he was scumreading rsoultin; he dismissed it, then found another reason) but it's similar! Perfect (=
