can you people seriously stop defending rayn? seriously.

he is refusing to play until xata is dead or just flat refusing to play. stop enabling him. either he is mafia and is being mafia and you're wrong. or he is town and actively sandbagging the game for his team. stop defending him and his behavior.

here are things that stood out to me as townie from GB's filter during my dive a couple days ago:

I don't see scum responding to a free vote this way. This is hilarious and fun and spontaneous and probably not what a scum player would do, because scum has to be more calculating.

Here's a snippet of you and I discussing GB (edited for some mistakes):

Bothers me how first GB goes from "Vivax mafia cause tone" when most people agreed that it's my town tone, and then thinks of another reason to scumread me for and switches over to saying that he's suspicious of my townreads cause he doesn't know how they're formed.

So um yeah, either my tone sucks but then my townreads don't have anything to do with it, and when confronted with other people's opinions (marv was hitting that with a pneumatic hammer) he abandons it and starts looking for another reason to bitch about my alignment, so he asks me some fancy questions "why do you townread these dudes" when it's a question he could ask anyone without having to scumread them first.


Maybe you're onto something.... Well, it does kind of feel like a premeditated push.


No it doesn't.
1.There is no scum-motivation behind trying to push someone who is being universally townread. If scum wants to push someone, they will push mislynchable townies. They (usually) are never going against a hard target.

2.I pushed Vivax because I don't like his tone and his easy town passes. I can find it scummy before further investigating it.

I'm re-reading the game atm.


1. Wow look at you with the pants on your head, scum would never wear pants on their head.

2. The point is that you can just stick to your guns in that case instead of complaining about me not explaining my reads which is something that doesn't catch scum most of the time. There are dozens of read lists in this game and not every read is explained properly, it's a bottomless barrel.

For example there's you saying marv has changed his playstyle and you're not sure about it and then he's suddenly green in the list post of yours, if I ask you why you'd say "I changed my read cause bsbs", great. If I call you scum for it you will just give a reasonable explanation.

Or the irony in saying my reads are too static but being suspicious about me giving out too many of them, and basically being the first to do so.

You accuse first and ask questions later, that's what I demonstrated with the post of mine and I have a hard time seeing you as the kind of guy who usually tunnels me for reasons I don't understand (like Koshi/Artanis/marv in earlier days).


So Vivax, if I understand what you're getting at here, you were tonereaded by GB as scum. After people came in to defend you, GB then said "Vivax is pushing easy targets, so he's still scum". Why is GB scum and not a tunnelled townie for this? I think you raise a good point with the marv flip-flop (though again, marv is easy to read this game, so we don't really care about him) but "this guy got tunnelled and changed his reason for scumreading someone" seems like... well, in a vacuum it seems like the kind of thing a townie would do, especially if it's a little unpopular. Scum could easily change reads (as you note GB did on Marv), so why not do that on you? If I've missed context here, fill me in.



Also, if I recall accurately you were one of the early supports of the RNG lynch on rayn. However, glancing through your filter, I don't see anything other than cursory interactions with him between voting him and now, and yet he's no longer on your list. You also write:

I'm not saying they shouldn't use it as town. More that they are using it scummily here.


If it comforts you I feel ambiguous about rayn too when he goes after you and not GB but I also take into consideration that we all got massive egos.


Which wasn't too long ago. Where do you stand on rayn, and why? I'm not saying "hurr durr vote rayn now" but I'd like to see a clear statement from you on your position on raynpelikoneet, who used to be a library is obvscum clealry due to rng


which I think addressed my thoughts on the early GB play pretty succinctly.

the funny thing is, one thing that makes me unsure about GB being mafia - both rayn and I stated pretty early that Vivax was town and I think it was kinda obvious we were serious about it. So I guess GB-mafia in that instance somehow decides to go against both me and rayn and push a very weak meta case? it's practically suicidal. maybe he's just town and believes it... dno right now


I consider this moderate evidence that GB is town. It would be the easiest thing in the world for GB to drop this, right? So him sticking to it means he must really BELIEVE it (however incorrectly?) more than he cares about living. This isn't a dumbtell, it's a determinedtell. For example, the biggest shitfests between 2 people are always "town and town" cause nobody is more determined and stubborn than a tunnelled townie.


I think this is fair point that I make here. This is what tunnelled townies look like. Is it possible, here, Vivax, that you're scumreading GB just because he scumread you, and that got you mad or at least biased? It's a really common thing for Town to OMGUS people, (town or scum), that call them scum, especially for clearly irrational reasonsl ike GB expressed. Now, we can say ":GB is irrational, and we expect town to have a certain logic" and that's a fair thing to say! for sure! but at the same time, scum ALSO has a certain logic. They're looking out for #1. They're not gonna do this, not after getting opposition from rayn and marv, right? They'll blow which way the wind is going, and be forgotten about.

Look, ritokty. You know me, right? You and I played together in Cell Mafia, and you got to see how ruthless I was as scum. I was willing to lie about a house move, a HOUSE MOVE, I took photos of boxes and everything, and pretended comcast disconnected my internet, etc, JUST to get a tiny edge in a game of mafia. I'm ruthless. I'll do anything to win. I don't care about what's right, or what's easy-- just what wins the game.

and what I think, is that rayn is not someone we should lynch right now. I think we give him a chance to get back in the game. when I read his angry posts, like you, I thought, "here's a guy who could easily be scum pretending to be mad in order to avoid contributing". And when he tapered off and did nothing, I thought my concerns were justified. And maybe they are! Maybe rayn reailly IS SCUM. This could be true.

But I think there's a good chance he's not. I did vote him, you know, until that post, that one post, that niggling doubt, took over me. Rayn arguing witht he mod. Rayn using green text. Doesn't that SOUND like something rayn would do as town? Doens't that sound like real anger?

And now maybe, deep down, you're mad at rayn, you think he is town but youw ant to punish him. You think his play is unacceptable and he should be lynched even if he is town to punish him. I understand that. I know where you're coming from. I know what you're feeling becasue I felt it. that kind of play,r egardless of laignment, is bad. It WOULD be poetic justice, even if rayn was town as you might feel inside, to lynch him, for being so bad, for his insolence, for giving up.

But you know what ritoky? I'm ruthless. I don't care about justice. I just want to WIN. as scum, i'm willing to lie, to manipulate, to brag, to photoshop, to twist things to win. And as town? I'm willing to throw away my principles. I don't care wehther or not rayn is sandbagging, I don't care whether or not he deserves to die. I just want to win. Look inside yourself, ritoky. Do you hate rayn for what he posted? Or do you think he's scum? I think he's just mad. I think maybe you think that too, and youw ant to punish him.

Don't do that. Be ruthless. Make youer heart cold. Let's play to win.

i still think my list is right....maybe....also i haven't really read since i last posted, so i still feel as right as before, which is helpful.

lynching into yamato, gb, rayn, hopeless.

hopeless really depresses me this game. cuz even if he does come back, barring town rainbow colored poo, i see no way i will make it through the duration of this game not lynching him...that thought depresses me greatly cuz he was funny on day 1 and i thought he was kinda town.

I am banking on hope,lss1 getting modkilled. If he comes back and votes (which would allow him to avoid modkill), I will vote him.

BH, why is it so hard to get ppl to vote on GB? i think 75% of the game or more has thought he was mafia at some point or another?

I actually don't think the dude is scum, which is why I'm not voting him, but you do raise a good point that if people have been scumreading him and don't want to vote him, that could be a sign of mafianess. IMO the best thing to do in a situation like this is to point out the people individually. Let's say, for example, that Xat (hypothetically) scumreaded GB, but now that the vote comes up, decided to vote for someone else and just stopped calling GB scum. Call that out! Just call out the individuals who have scumreads on GB and aren't voting him.

I'm about to head to bed er, i mean get dinner for 8 hours, but actually legit calling these people out would be really good if this is at hign you thing is happening. I'll weigh in after I wake up from my dinner.

honestly i am tired and whiny and i just wish this game were easier.

i have 1 guy in xata who is either playing 5 steps ahead or in a tunnel potentially filled of rage.
i have 1 guy in yamato who is constantly handing out empty promises.
i have 1 guy in hopeless who might have died irl.
i have 1 guy in rayn who ragequit lyfe, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
i have 1 guy in GB who has never once been so disenfranchised with a mafia game.
i have 1 guy in onegu who has had the tonal shift of the ages.

like why can't this be easier right now? seriously. all i want are town reads that are trying to find mafia. not all of those people can be mafia....and that isn't even considering if there's a sneakster mafia.

i am just tired and want town reads. is this too much to ask for?

BH convinced me a little to pick someone else than GB; but if he keeps not playing and pushing stupid arguments on me I'll have a hard time letting that slide.

Ritoky move with me to yamato?

I can say full of confidence that hopeless plays like this 90 % of the games he's town in (or mafia, then he cares even less). But that doesn't apply to usual town yamato. He would at least be a good sheep or spit out some opinions of his own, not constantly spout excuses and do nothing which is what he does as mafia.

i am willing to consider it tmrw. did marv think yamato was town? i forgot.

if i am moving it's onto rayn or yamato or maybe hopeless depending on if he posts. but that would require me reading or some1 selling me on it right now. probably too tired for that to occur. going to sleep in 10 mins.

i don't have a particularly good read on yamato historically and have really done nothing to cultivate it. i just know 1 time slam told me "if yamato is writing blank checks, he probably isn't town". which is pretty much the entirety of my read thus far.
