Note: the votecount also has benefits (namely that you can always view the current votecount - updated every 3 minutes - rather than wait for host votecounts )

Interesting how so many wanted a separate voting thread.... I'll just say that voting in thread + votecounter is the ideal combo (easier for the players to vote and for the hosts to use the tool, since it's simpler to just use the game thread for it - no need to post day/night posts into the voting thread as well)

Reminder though: it doesn't matter if the name letters are capitalized or not, and there are pre-set "nicknames" for common nicknames/misspelled versions of the names (such as voting "marv" will become "marvellosity" in the system). List here: https://github.com/Xatalos/mafia-votecount/blob/master/resources/public/js/nicknames.js

Another reminder: if a separate voting thread will be used, then also include messages like "Day 1", "Night 1" etc. in the voting thread so that the phase changes are noticed by the scanner.

I have it in my tentative plans to implement a fuzzy matching function at some point. Meaning that it would take the vote and find the "closest" one from among the players/nicknames. There may be some problems from that, though, mainly through two close names getting mixed up... But oh well. It still seems like a good potential thing.

I'd say that's more like pseudo-pseudo-random though. It's not really as sophisticated as something like the Random class in Java. I'll give you that it's somewhat good in the sense that you can "prove" it's not just some number you made up, even if it's not exactly fully random.

In the end, I think we're utterly doomed if we can't make a better than RNG lynch with this list of players.... It could be somehow feasible if the players were mostly inactive to get things rolling (lol)

That's what I was originally asking. My first assumption was that you were feeling pressure now that the game's started.


It was mainly referring to the pressure on the votecount tool (with the harsh voting rules requiring its perfect functioning etc.). Well, I'm pretty confident in it after so many test games.

Oh well, Java's Random uses the system clock as well, so it's a bit similar, although "more" random.

Unbeatable logic.

I think I've seen him be pretty inactive/useless as scum all around, and mostly OK as town. I think there was one(?) game where he was inactive/useless as town too though.

I mean, it is "psuedo-random", but calling it that doesn't actually say anything negative about its use here. It's like noting that a dice roll isn't always perfectly random, or that it's really hard to generate randomness using computer. Sure, the Random class in Java isn't great, and maybe this is less random, but still this is SUPER random, so random you'd have to do it probably hundreds of thousands of time before there was a problem, or alternatively, due it a few hundred times per second or something.

It's random enough taht it's already way more random than it needs to be, and unlike literally all other attempts at RNG, it's provably not influenced by me.


Well that's true.

I just don't take you seriously.

If I do that and you're town, one of us is almost certainly going to die.

If I do that and you're mafia, it won't help lynch you in any way.


That doesn't make any sense.

Your reply isn't influenced by my alignment, only by yours.

Besides you might reverse that and say that if I'm mafia one of us is going to die, which is good.
Or that if I'm town it won't help get me lynched, which is also good.

But you chose to be a party pooper.
So you're mafia.


Hmm.. Well, yamato's certainly not being very useful so far...

He has been super fatigued of rolling scum since he rolled scum for several games in a row. In the last game or two he rolled scum, he barely played and complained about wanting to be town. This game, if Marv is scum, he'll probably say/do nothing. If he's town expect him to be excited and energized about finally being able to be town and "recharge his batteries". Contrast Scum Marv that's on his game, who busts out hecka sweet moves. Marv's alignment should be obvious this game, even after he reads this post from me.

in general, maybe, but

1. Not by much
2. the reasons I laid out (skilled scum players, vanilla setup without extra townies, etc) all apply here
3. even in setups where town does have these advantages, RNG is still a good idea.

Why don't we sit down and discuss rayn's play so far? Is anyone else suspicious of his lack of contribution?


LOL :D That last line was funny.

I really liked the first part of your post though. Seems like town thinking through stuff.

Honestly I kinda want to get the wagon rolling just for that (he would be SO mad hueheue), but it's probably more reasonably to let rayn make a token defense before we lynch him

Well I guess there's a bit of difference between the first sentence "me no play" and the "deeper" later sentences.... Not really sure if it's enough to say it's "crafted". Perhaps just wanted to make those fluff things read correctly.

BH, you talk a lot about why your lynch is random but not at all about why we should follow it.


Theres no point to him trying to convince us to follow his lynch. RNG is viable when reads are shit, convincing town to rng lynch requires shit reads. The game has just begun therefore reads have not had the time to develop quality, which means bh does not yet posses his convince condition.

In the absence of the means to convince us to choose his method, all he can do is argue how his is truly random. Because a mafia player who argues for an actual rng lynch is forfeiting his ability to protect his teammates (and potentially himself) from rng. A competent scumer would usually have faith in his ability to sway town one way or another, which means he probably wouldn't risk an rng team kill. Basically there are only 3 kinds of players who would propose this strat.

1) a player who is so insecure about his play, he is honestly proposing to just roll the dice instead of play(at least on day 1). This player could be town or scum.

2) A town player who is just using this as a means to prove his innocence "why would I risk killing myself or my teamies as mafia? I must be town!" this works sorta because your odds are quite low of hitting yourself and if you do then you can always say "well I know I'm town, so I'll just disregard this result" -_-

3) A scummer who believes that town will not actually rng lynch because it is objectively a bad strat compared to a really solid case/read. He must hope for this, because to a scummer the rng lynch can actually just backfire, since mafia as an entity operate on a clear pool of lives as opposed to towns mist of health.

we can probally straight up rule out the first possibility (bh be goods not scrubs), which leaves 2 and 3. This whole thing seems pre written so hard to tell between them. Honestly best just to ignore the whole thing unless it gets to the point where our reads are so junk an rng lynch is actually more likely.

ether way, I dont think bh expects us to actually straight up rng lynch, this was probably just a way to look active early on without actually offering substance (though it might draw substance out of others, which is always good)


Well I think it's better than the standard "hi" / "I'm town" openings

Dunno. I really don't know how gumshoe should be read. You know? I remember him being a really inactive/bad town once and he was basically policy lynched. Then he was extremely similar as scum and managed to survive like that (I even defended him because of him being similar as town earlier lol). Here he's surprisingly actually posting stuff... Or has he started generally posting lately?

I don't like ritoky so far. The stuff ritoky is saying to me is more of a "textbook" mafia tell that ends up not being very relevant in an actual game, coupled with the fact that he used it to jump on an easy target early on. From a mafia perspective, it would be easy to jump into the thread and give a "read" on someone like gumshoe based on a tell.

I want to townread you for this post but that would be a bit premature for a decisive guess.

Why do you think this post is town? I don't think it's alignment indicative.


Hm... I still kind of like the active approach he had. It would be easier to just sheep / bandwagon / blend in without raising original topics as scum than to push an early case.

He used to be a very talkative townie, the walls o text type of townie. I think the policy lynch thingy was an exception, and seeing a wall of text posted makes me already feel better about him in this game.


Hm... I've only ever seen him being semi-permanently AFK.

generally speaking he doesn't rng as mafia, but i wouldn't put it past him to break meta.



Is it really the case that he pushes RNG as town and not as scum? :D If so, that's a pretty ridiculous meta hahaha

Granted, he didn't really push for it or anything.

Well so far Blazinghand and Vivax feel town. ritoky too? Not as sure about Chromatically yet. yamato and gumshoe are in the gray area.

Of course, rayn = scum.

Yeah Vivax is quite likely town here. I remember seeing him 2 times as scum and both times he was pretty much just actively lurking / avoiding doing stuff. I think I also saw him as town once and there he was activelly discussing about a variety of stuff, kind of like here. So yeah, probably town I think.

Well I think it's better than the standard "hi" / "I'm town" openings


Bh, question, if your town please be honest : D were you planning this from the get go? Did you have your post pre written? When did you conceive the idea to use the random tl tag info? Would you have done this if you were mafia?

if this was all pre thought up (which it seems to me it was) than it might not be any better than a glorified "hi, im town."

not that this at all detracts from your argument for rng(which has it's convincing points but I still feel is a last resort) it's the possibility of you using this opening banter as an aegis that worries mah / :





"From the get go" --> I wasn't particularly thinking of using RNG, but it's one of my most useful tools for hunting and lynching scum. I'd say I use it more often than not nowadays when I play. When the game started, I was like "you know what would be great here? Given the setup and the player list, this is perfect for RNG" and then I did it.

"pre written" --> I copied/pasted it from the last time I used RNG, then filled in the names and list size from this game. The second RNG post where I announced the result, I also copied/pasted, so in a sense, yes, this was prewritten

"when did you think of random tl tag info?" --> I first thought of this idea in September of 2013, and I used it for the first time in November 2013. Since then I've used it probably 5-10 times in games here on TL.

"would you have done this if you were mafia?" --> the answer to this question is always "yes". I'm willing to lie, cheat, steal, doctor photographs, put items in boxes, fake plane tickets, pretend to have depression, a death in the family, etc, whatever it takes to win regardless of alignment. I'm one of the few players that does not pull punches as mafia. So yes, as mafia, I'd be fully willing to RNG if I percieved it to be a good idea (which it isn't; I've outlined why RNG is pro-town this game)


You need to go deeper. Shouldn't you pursue RNG as scum so that people think you're so pro-town?

Well I think yamato is probably the most disturbing one of those who have already posted. It's basically nothing but empty complaining. My vote might go to him soon... Though I kind of don't want to abandon the rayn train.

ritoky said something that is townie.

marv is a clear cut, cmon? (in b4 he calls me scum for this)


The first sentence is super clear :D

I think I had some heuristic for reading marv before but I lost it :D In any case, I think he's skilled enough to beat a heuristic I would think of... I think Blazinghand might have had a point with his post about marv probably being more excited if he rolled town here after playing many scum games or something (so far he's seemed relatively excited I guess).

I think bh's argument for random makes sense coming out of scum only if you except town not to listen(or you can sabotage the rng) and makes sense out of town only if your trying to look substancey and dont actually think it'll come to a random lynch. So I dont think BH honestly wants an rng lynch / : cause that would be silly, even in a game with good scum. What does that say for his alignment? Not much at all. Basically at the time I didnt think bhs actions meant he was townie, just that he was being active and probably insincere.

I might be totally wrong about but such is the risks of early reads. But yeah, rng is silly, case in point your on the chopping block right now for no reason. Do you think your scum? Do you think BH is derp? if no to both this statements then mine has at least as much chance to be true as there is to lynch into you and hit maf.


Rather than reposting the useless post, why not share your opinions on something that matters? Like your reads?

rayn how sure are you about gumshoe? I somehow have a light feeling he could be town. Mainly from his insistence about the random BH thing I guess? Even if it's pretty... nonsense.

Meh, maybe Chromatically could be one... I dislike a bit how he posted so... mechanically? Just asking one-liner questions & the ritoky suspicion. It felt a bit like he didn't really feel comfortable in the thread.

Currently thinking of yamato/Chromatically.... Neither has really given me any reason to think they could be town yet... With gumshoe there's at least a slight townie feeling based on the effort he went to talk about the BH stuff..

For the record, voted Chromatically a while ago. Mainly because he felt a bit more like he wanted to blend in / appear "good" by posting those questions etc., whereas yamato just left the thread without even trying to look good.

when does yamato leave the thread trying to look good as mafia lol


:D:D

Well he could well be scum, I just felt like Chromatically was the one out of them who fit better with the classic scum patterns of posting some semi-relevant questions / inconclusive posts without really sharing his own views. Well, there's the ritoky suspicion, but it was kind of a "question" as well.

gumshoe: It's a bit funny you called me out about waffling on you when your entire last post waffling on... everyone Every read had some "but... then..." moment haha

rayn: About BH, I'm not completely sure how I came to lean as strongly town on BH as on Vivax. It might not be as deserved as the townread on Vivax (on objective merits of meta etc.), I just felt (and actually still feel) that his level of effort and activity seemed more likely to come from town. The way he engaged people and seemed to have really thought about his own ideas... It didn't feel at all like a fake push trying to gather credibility. What's more, I skimmed through all the links ritoky provided and it was a common trend that BH pushed the idea of RNG lynching as town but didn't do that as scum. I think it's a minor meta point in BH's favor, even if it's not like it's impossible to fake something like that... I just didn't get the feeling it was fake. Well, did you? For the time being, I'm happy to put BH in the pile of non-lynchables.

Mainly the RNG things. Again, it's not a topic that's extremely hard to talk about as scum, but he seems very convinced that it's a pro-town thing, so it wouldn't be so easy to argue about it so heatedly as scum (especially when his past games indicate that he indeed favors RNG as town and not as scum).

I kind of liked Chromatically's posts after he came back. Mostly the fact that he seemed to be... thinking of reasons for people to be scummy/not, then landing on reads, rather than naming reads and then backing them up... Somehow the flow of his posts felt decent in the recent pages.

I just wonder a bit what happened after the "reading on Xatalos's meta" bit? Did I miss something?

How i have to decide if you just said that terrible thing as town or mafia...
I am a bit puzzled how could you actually believe Blazinghand would not do that as mafia.


Not that he couldn't do it, but more likely not, based on him favoring it before as town (as a very pro-town thing) and still getting so excited about it now. 1) It would be harder to fake the excitement as scum when he has proven many times that he thinks it's genuinely pro-town 2) he just simply doesn't seem to do it as scum... at least so far.

People I'm willing to lynch today.

Xata- as said before, looks like hes posting alot but isnt actually saying much of substance, worse yet he talked alot about stuff that didnt really matter at all (simulating a true rng lynch, trolling rayn, how he waffles days one me) but yeah he hasnt come back yet so probs need to hear more.

Hopeless- definition of worthless, but I'm not sure if mafia would actually be comfortable joining an active thread to contribute naught but dank memes.

onegu- "So I am debating on if I want to try this game or just troll..." as a player who has been absolutely shit and lazy as both mafia and town I'm well aware of the terrible impact such a player can have on a game. If they are not lynched quickly they become a huge distraction that cant particularly be read into cause they're shit and lazy. Mafia players can and have used the whole "hes so bad, there's no way hes mafia" meta plenty so if Onegu insists on being scummy then we should oblige him provided there isn't a better alternative.

People I'm mixed on

Bh: His original Rng post set me off a bit, but without writing another wot I'll just say that I liked the answers he gave to the questions I asked. If necessary I'll elaborate but for now lets just say his response felt very honest and off the cuff. His defense of Yam could be scummy, if Yam is town Bh might just be setting up for his flip in a very non committal way(asking for time as opposed to outright defending him), but trying to clear space for a townie so that they can talk freely doesnt strike me as bads, unless he thinks yamato plays worse when hes not under pressure / : they could be scumm bros but that would be a bit obvious no?

Chrom: Liked his posts on Ritoky though I still think hes totally wrong. town players have often found that kind of thing (tells early game) scummy, it's happened to me several times before. Reads early game are rarely things of beauty for our hats are often quite puny. An aggressive read like that can also backfire huge, concrete accusations are a great way for mafia to get unnecessary spotlight thrown onto them. So yeah, methinks chroms wrong but not scum. Though he may just be throwing together a convincing tunnel on a fairly inactive player.

The thing where Chrom went back and drew a connection with the picture feels very townie to me though, reminds me of my own happy tunnels, but I doubt the picture actually means much (would be a tad obvious if it did)

Glowing bear- not sure about him, Vivax seems like a weird target for mafia to push but they might not have a really good selection of schlubs to frame. Fun note, Bh, chrom and GB all clearing room for Yamato when he hasn't done much at all? Coincidence? Mabs, mabs not.

Not much else to report, Marv probs town? Someone said(bh I thunk) he'd be pretty shit if hes maf and he doesn't seems shitty so hurrah I suppose.



So no thoughts on rayn then? Cause he grilled you a fair amount, and despite that, all you said about him was:

In response to all the grilling, etc. So what's the deal gumshoe? Rayn attacks you and you mostly just call him mean, you don't comment on anything he has to say, any of his reads (other than directly related to your statements) and on your list post, he doesn't show up, not even as mixed.

You commented on the nature of the rng lynch on rayn (saying it was daring, etc) but you didn't actually comment about rayn himself. Are you avoiding talking about rayn? Let's hear a stance from you on this.


I commented just now on Rayn, but if you want a follow up, Rayn is consistently aggressive towards me as town or scum, but he backed off which is usually what town rayn does when I say the magic words hes looking for. The one time he was scum he just kept going after me till I dead / : but I dont claim to be able to read him very well. Hes aggressive as town, and ever so slightly more aggressive as scum. Time should tell what he actually is / : so for now I'm dumping him the yamato camp of -give it a day out in the sun.

Btw I cant tell if your actually for reals about Rayn or just pushing the RNG XD guess its both?


Thanks for the input! So for you, you'd expect that scum rayn would tunnel you into the ground, whereas town rayn wouldn't do this, but this meta read is a soft read?

At this point in time I feel like it's more important to gather information about rayn and learn about what people think of him and why people are irrationally townreading him when he was clearly RNGed than it is to disambiguate the motivations for my scumread on him


oks : P how do you feel about xatalos and chrom? I would ask you about onegu and hopeless but theres not much there to pick apart -_-.


Chromatically opens up just with questions. "Why do you think X", "What do you think of Y", etc. After making these, he comes out against ritoky with this argument:

I don't like ritoky so far. The stuff ritoky is saying to me is more of a "textbook" mafia tell that ends up not being very relevant in an actual game, coupled with the fact that he used it to jump on an easy target early on. From a mafia perspective, it would be easy to jump into the thread and give a "read" on someone like gumshoe based on a tell.


He laters adds Hopeless1der for awkwardness and when he calls out ritoky http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=25000070

he does it with some pretty reasonable-sounding arguments, but these arguments are actually flawed. He says scum won't sheep and will actually try to stick out, which in general is NOT how scum act. Yes, scum don't want to appear OBVIOUSLY Sheeping, but scum will generally try to appear "middle of the herd" rather than following the herd. Chromatically being wrong about this though doesn't make him scum, it just makes him wrong. His seeming misunderstadning of ritoky's (admittedly poorly laid out / formatted) argument about my usage of RNG is actually more suspicous. IF he actually clicked the links, he'd see me RNGing in each of those games. In fact, for trying to figure out when I RNG, ritoky is almost certainly town. If he's scum, he could just be like "BH using rng is stupid, we should lynch him for being stupid", or, if rayn was somehow town, he could say "RNG is great let's lynch rayn"

This isn't what riotky did. He saw me using RNG, then said to himself, "hmm, I'm going to do research. How does Blazinghand's decision to do RNG tell me about his alignment? Let's see when he's used this in the past"-- to react to this by trying to use it as a tool to determine my alignment, this almost certainly makes ritoky town.

Chromatically doesn't see this, which means he's not trying to get in ritoky's head, or maybe isn't capable of doing so? In any case, Chromatically mostly comes off as good-natured but wrong rather than baltantly scummy. If he's scum, he won't come out and spew incorrect theories about how to make scumreads, not when it would draw attention to him. Chromatically is not on my lynch list today


Yeah, I like that ritoky part. It's certainly a townie reaction to dig your game history for RNG-related things to think about your alignment.

Well it's kind of like... Imagine player X. He has a great record of posting a lengthy introduction post as scum when he starts the game, and as town he's so far just immediately jumped in and started posting actual content. Now in a current game he immediately makes a lengthy introduction post.

Could he have done it as town to make himself harder to read? Possibly. But I'd still take into account that maybe the meta is repeating itself, no?

And if you read my posts, it's not just that about Blazinghand, but more like how he was so excited about the RNG when he's several times before said that it's pro-town. It would be harder to convey that excitement as scum when he think it's so pro-town clearly.

He makes a perfectly reasonable set of statements.

"Blazinghand has a meta of using RNG as town"

"...however, this doesn't mean we should automatically assume BH is town. BH is a tricky fucker, and is notoriously a tricky fucker. He has done all kinds of things as scum that nobody thought scum would do, like pretend to get dumped, be depressed, death in teh family, and so on. He will do anything as scum to win, he's so sexy and good at this game. BH, you are so cool. This is known by all people"

These are both reasonabl eand true statements

yes and STILL he assumes you are town as per his posts.
see? It doesn't make any sense.



Ok but part of what's going on here also is not everyone has seen firsthand what I'm capable of. Most people hear a story or two and think "oh, that BH guy must be pretty decent. He'll do anything to win. I guess I better count this well-known-to-BH meta evidence less strongly". Not everyone is like you, not everyone has seen the true darkness and depravity I am willing to perpetrate to win as scum. I've literally made peopel feel IRL feelings for me, feel bad, feel hurt, feel worried, want to reach out to me out-of-game, just to not get lynched for one day as scum. I've sunk to depths that are BEYOND most people's comprehensions. You know me, rayn. You know not to trust RNG as a town-tell. PEople hear that, though, and they think "okay, don't trust it AS MUCH as I normally would", because they don't KNOW. They ahven't gazed into the abyss. They are still sane.

They can still be saved.

You, though... you've seen what I'm capable of, and perhaps have forgotten what it is like to be normal, to not know me as you do


Haha :D Well, I'm sure you'll start pushing RNG in your next scumgame after this... Unless you happened to already be scum here, which would kind of defeat the point.

I think Xatalos has some questionable parts of his filter and I agree with gumshoe to an extent.

I do not think gumshoe is mafia very often (given his play this game).

I think marv has changed how he plays (quite obviously). Don't know what to make of that quite yet.

I think rayn is leaning town but it's hard to say with not much having happened.

Most others are a big ?, including yourself.

tl;dr it's been 20 pages and 8 hours and no reads are confident.

Who would you lynch between if you had to pick right now?

I wouldn't, because I have like 40 hours to decide.

This is one of the issues I have with Xatalos/Vivax and their "read" on me. Do you really expect me to be super active when there's nothing really that interesting to talk about? It's fucking pointless conjecture. No answer to your question will mean a damn thing in 20 hours when I have more substantive stuff to talk about.

Sure, it makes you question my alignment, but do I really care? No. When I want to, I'll be painfully obvious town and I'll almost certainly find a better lynch than most of you, and once you realize this, we'll be heading in a better direction. Thinking that you're "putting pressure" on me by forcing me to answer asinine questions is literally the least useful thing you could do at this juncture.

If I fail to deliver, you can go ahead and try to get me lynched, but in the mean time, don't delude yourself into thinking I'm scum just because I won't play the game the way you want me to. It's rather silly.


Oh yeah, I think this post seemed a bit town... Provided that he DOES start doing something since time has already passed

I don't remember any "betrayals" at least. Sorry to say this, but the impression I've gotten is that you're generally not very useful, with some moments of goodness Like I think you tricked the scumteam to kill you in one game instead of me when I was the Cop?

well, not towards me. You're actually being a little more gentle with me, compared to normal. Normally I'd expect you to end up TRing ritoky for that on your own. Maybe it's been some time since we played together, or my edge is getting dull, but I recall you being pretty good at noticing people's motivations.

ritoky is a really had to read for me and i don't think he has said much of anything that could be in my opinion considered townie.

Maybe it's jsut like you say and other people do not know you as well as i do (and what you can / cannot do as mafia), but still... it's really hard for me to believe both of Xatalos and ritoky actually believe you are town for your actions regarding the rng lynch. I just don't fucking buy it.


Really? Well, I guess we'll see as the game goes on. I'm relatively sure I got the right impression, and more so with some of BH's more recent posts.

You having the right impressions (assuming it is right) has nothing to do with your towniness. Having the right impression from something you should not have any on the other hand does affect my read on you.


You mean I could have tried to pocket him by giving him an easy townread as scum? Well, I can't deny I haven't done stuff like that as scum. I guess we'll just have to see that's not the case here.

There is absolutely nothing alignment indicative in your rng Blazinghand, you know it, everyone should know it. "Figuring out" something regarding it is a waste of time.


Well it's kind of like... Imagine player X. He has a great record of posting a lengthy introduction post as scum when he starts the game, and as town he's so far just immediately jumped in and started posting actual content. Now in a current game he immediately makes a lengthy introduction post.

Could he have done it as town to make himself harder to read? Possibly. But I'd still take into account that maybe the meta is repeating itself, no?

And if you read my posts, it's not just that about Blazinghand, but more like how he was so excited about the RNG when he's several times before said that it's pro-town. It would be harder to convey that excitement as scum when he think it's so pro-town clearly.

It reads like "lengthy introduction == scum" but BH is not scum because he's excited? What did I miss here?


That X thing was a hypothetical scenario, only related to BH in the sense that meta shouldn't be entirely discarded even if good players are well capable of "breaking meta".

Town? Like I explained, and also he made some good posts in the recent pages. Better than his RNG stuff actually, in the sense of establishing his innocence.

Do you understand this is not about Blazinghand but you?

Blazinghand does an rng vote. You townread him for it because you think (1) he wouldn't do that as mafia and (2) he feels excited about it and reasons his rng.

(1) He literally says he could do that as mafia. If he is town here he is telling the truth (because why lie), if he is mafia here, well he did that as mafia. Both of the arguments on his faction should cancel your townread by default.

(2) Blazinghand's argument for why rng is pro-town is literally bullshit and anyone who reads his posts knows that. I don't think that's alignment indicative for him, because he would defend the rng lynch he so likes as either alignment. You however fail to realize his argument for rng lynch being pro-town is literally "rng lynch hits mafia only slightly less than non-rng lynch". In fact, hey.. that makes rng lynch NOT PRO TOWN. This should cancel your townread on him aswell.

Now, why did it not?


Uh... You kind of missed the point. You said that he "so likes as either alignment", which is false. He seems to love it as town, but not as scum, which is... not "as either alignment". I understand that it's not impossible for him to have faked all of that in the hopes of gathering town credibility. However, it's not that likely because 1) he apparently didn't realize he would be given credibility for doing it, and there hasn't been any proof yet that he in fact would have realized it beforehand - as far as I see, the whole issue was brought up only AFTER he did it in this game 2) even if that was his master plan all along, it's still not as likely since he would be A) undermining, at least in his clear belief, the chances of his team by doing that - without any likely good effect - and B) it's not as easy to push something like that when you don't believe in it yourself (which he wouldn't be as scum).

To be frank, I don't think either of them have any big scummy things at the moment. It's just that the process of elimination is leading me to them so I'd like to know why you think they're clearly town.

I have a question. Xatalos do you seriously think Blazinghand - as town - believes that lynching by RNG on D1 has the best chances of hitting mafia? Like do you SERIOUSLY believe that?


All I can say that he's genuinely pushed that thing in all of his recent town games... And said that he likes the idea in those games... It's not like I think it's the way to go myself, except for the fun factor I guess, but he really seems to like that as town. At least as a discussion starter / fall-back option What's more, it would really be terrible to do as scum. Think about it... If the RNG hit your teammate, you'd be in an extremely bad position. You'd have to pressure your teammate all D1, quite likely making him falter in some way, in the worst case revealing both of you at the same time.

He wouldn't have any problem doing that at all, given that he's done the exact same thing many times before and RNG lynch is by definition completely independent of BH's alignment.


Well, read my last post.... Also, like I said, even if it might sound good in theory, he hasn't done that so far in his scumgames and it wouldn't probably be as easy in practise ESPECIALLY if the RNG hit his teammate.

Do you feel like i feel pressured?
Do you thin kanyone whould feel pressured if the rng landed on them?


Well, you did react a bit when you entered the thread. I think someone less experienced could well fall into panic as scum. In my first Mafia game there was a random vote pile on my teammate and he basically revealed himself by reacting weirdly.

okay who would you say in this game would feel pressured, as in who are these "new scum players" you would refer to here?


gumshoe at least? What I've seen of his scumplay, it's extremely lacking. Not too sure about how good each player's scumgame is in this game. Well, it's a good point that if the scumteam was something like BH/rayn/marv, then it wouldn't be very risky at all. Still, even an experienced player might make some sort of weird reaction if he's never before been in a similar situation.

And in any case, going for that RNG plan limits your options and brings attention to yourself in the early game. Not really things scum would like, and looking at BH's scumgames, not even he seems to like that.

Meh... maybe rayn could be scum after all? He seems a bit too similar to his last scumgame on VS. There his reads were mostly unexplained and the read progressions were rather hard to understand. He also was quite nitpicky / aggressive towards things that weren't necessarily scummy at all. It's an uncomfortable feeling I got from the last pages.

Hm. I mean... town rayn can be aggressive, but it's usually more focused on specifically scummy things and quite "tunnely". Like a bull seeing red and then attacking until it's dead. From my last scum experience with rayn, he shifted his stances a lot, in weird and unexplained ways. It was more like searching for an angle of attack rather than attacking something suspicious. I get an eerily similar feeling from him this game :/

Well, I think he is mafia because he is assuming things in absolutes. I'm used to see Vivax being paranoid town and him giving a bunch of town reads right out of the blue does not looks like his standard gameplay.

literally town Vivax to a tee

mafia Viv is a little bitch

No, it makes him suspicious.

yamato i am pretty sure GlowingBear is town here. Basically he says really scummy shit that makes absolutely no sense as mafia, because he doesn't really know what to do at all (i assume). Here he has some sort of a thought process going on in his head. Basically it's highly unlike he is scum here.

Same goes for Hopeless, he tried to do stuff. He is just doing it in his own way that looks scummy to basically everyone.. always.

I am really really sure ritoky is mafia. I am also quite sure Slam is scum because of process of elimination. Xatalos is probably just really fucking dumb atm, but at least his explanation to BH thing makes some sense, unlike ritoky's. ritoky basically argues that Blazinghand is town based on illogical arguments, or arguments that are easily proven wrong. Like even if he believes those arguments are true the read is shit and arguing the read is good for those things is something that a townie never does.

Last scum is probably Blazinghand or Onegu. I kinda think it's Onegu atm, since Blazinghand seems to be trying to do something and getting something out of his shennies at the start of the game. I don't believe gumshoe is scum, basically his reacation towards me doesn't make any sense as mafia. He is right in that i suually pressure him every game we are in and i know he acts differently when he is scum than when he is town. I just don't see him being scum here.

Vivax is basically his own paranoid town self with a portion of good logical thoughts. marv is almost definitely town. you are almost definitely town. Chromatically seems to be the most level headed person in this game. It's like not totally out of question he is scum here but most likely he is just town as his posting suggests.


Do Hopeless/GB just... not do anything at all as scum then? I get the feeling you're giving them a bit too much of a pass... Calling them very likely town.

Same with ritoky, only conversely. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that he's surely scum based on the RNG percentage thing or something? Or could you explain which part didn't make any sense? I think you meant the part where he said that RNG lynching has better probabilities?

Well, I don't disagree that Onegu or Slam could be scum this game.

well, not towards me. You're actually being a little more gentle with me, compared to normal. Normally I'd expect you to end up TRing ritoky for that on your own. Maybe it's been some time since we played together, or my edge is getting dull, but I recall you being pretty good at noticing people's motivations.

ritoky is a really had to read for me and i don't think he has said much of anything that could be in my opinion considered townie.

Maybe it's jsut like you say and other people do not know you as well as i do (and what you can / cannot do as mafia), but still... it's really hard for me to believe both of Xatalos and ritoky actually believe you are town for your actions regarding the rng lynch. I just don't fucking buy it.


nice one bro.

no


y'know, gonna be honest here. you're the most underwhelming player that people tell me is good on these forums. i just don't see it; maybe i am the one who is so bad i can't comprehend your greatness; but i don't think that's the case.


Well it's quite possible he may just be scum this game. In fact I'm leaning in that direction right now. He can be great as town.

Check out rayn's read progression on ritoky throughout the day... I have some difficulty grasping how ritoky became scum while rayn slept even though he was sure town before...? I think ritoky didn't even post during that?

Yeah... I think ritoky left the thread before rayn entered, and rayn called ritoky sure scum, and came back to the thread before ritoky... then ritoky was scum? Wot?

depending on the setup of the game and the structure of PRs, yes.

really?
when he himself just argued it's less likely to hit mafia then not rng lycnhing?


it's actually equally as likely, so i disagree with your premise entirely.

it's actually really simple. i mean i guess it's pretty simple for me cuz i read like 10 of BH's games in the recent past so i could accurately impersonate him. here's your guide to reading BH:

Did he RNG immediately @ the start of the game: if yes -> 80% chance to be town; if no -> 80% chance to be mafia

Did he push the RNG target or just leave it there like a dead fish: if push -> 95% chance to be town; if dead fish - 50% chance to be mafia

Did he gather reads from people arguing with him about why they are better than RNG: yes - DING DING DING town; i don't know he hasn't given reads - 75% town; no - 50% town

rayn, was this your turning point on ritoky? They're right when saying that ritoky posted nothing between "(rayn thinks) ritoky is town" and "POE lynch list include ritoky".

Yeah as i said that was yesterday. I clearly pointed out (before going to bed) that i dislike Xatalos' & ritoky's reads on BH which i had missed earlier as i was tired. My townread on ritoky before was not based on that at all. I jsut didn't pay attention to his posts because i didn't think he was saying anything interesting. It's like how i treat players who don't say anything interesting (unless something changes)... in every game.

There is absolutely nothing contradicting there, i re-evaluated his posting after i had slept and dug up further and came to conclusion he is mafia, because:
1) His read on BH is bad.
2) His reasoning for his read doesn't even make any sense.for example; he says there is 80% chance BH does this rng thing as town, so there is actually then 20% chance of BH doing that as mafia - by default. When people tell his that "BH could totally do that as mafia" it doesn't affect his read at all. In fact he just pushes the townread further with more illogical arguments, like trying to argue random lynching is as effective as not random lynching, which is a straight out lie, and doesn't even have anything to do with BH's alignment.

So yeah, there is that. That's basically the only thing he has done in this game in addition to now bitching at me.


So if you ignored his posts initially, what made you townread him in the first place?

Why?


poorly explained response, forced joke, clear post editing, extra lines at the end of post.


Clear post editing? I agree he's felt a bit "forced" with his entrance.


at start of game mafia more likely to re-read and edit their post than town is. town more prone to be natural. the lines at the end, the changes between capitalizing and not capitalizing, and some other aspects shows he read and edited the post.

this post looked town.


Really? I think it's a pretty general post. I think his stuff about BH was, on the other hand, relatively town... You mean they were scummy in hindsight for you? Meh.

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.

Hm... rayn, you stopped responding to me because you understood my point about the RNG things, but I'm "dumb" anyway? Why am I "dumb" even if you thought I ultimately had a point? Or did you talk about it with me because you initially put / painted me as scum and then dropped interest when it didn't go anywhere?

Well, I guess you did answer some of it indirectly in your other posts anyway. I was still left hanging especially with how you gave GB/Hopeless such easy town passes (for almost nothing) and why ritoky became scum for... basically disagreeing with you about some RNG statistics?

Well I guess there could be something with that point 2...... It's a little bit weird how he was so confident on BH being town despite saying that there's a large chance of him "breaking meta"... But I don't really see how he should have been affected by people saying that he could do it as scum, considering he originally said it himself too. Meh. I don't really see it as any big point against him.

Could you walk me through how Hopeless is clearly town? I think marv said it too? So there might be some merit in it.

Really marv? I think Slam has said a lot more interesting stuff already than he ever did last game (as scum). There he just basically hanged around, trolling, but I thought he was town because he was so "natural" in the thread.

This game... Mostly I was enlightened by him liking ritoky for his "town BH makes reads based on his RNG push DING DING" post (which really makes me feel better about ritoky too, since I forgot that post and wondered a bit about his confidence in BH being town... Now I understand). Also I liked how he brought up the weird progression from rayn regarding GB... Which basically went like certain town -> die scum, based on.. What? Missing posts from GB earlier? Then why that hard defense of him in the first place, without even reading his posts? And now the confident scumread because that's where the thread was flowing?

What I'm trying to say is, reading Slam's posts made me feel better about Slam and ritoky, and worse about rayn. Not really sure how you came to your conclusions marv...?

On the other hand, GB has felt a bit better lately. The Vivax read is a bit... But like marv said, it feels like a really weird target to pick as scum. And I liked his meta thing about me. And he's unlikely scum with rayn (no reason for scum rayn to suddenly go on the offensive this late in the day otherwise after hard defending him before).

Ah, and Chromatically... Not sure yet. He's kept being pretty reasonable / constructive all game, but I don't really think there's been much (if anything?) I've agreed with him on... And that case against me is just, pretty much describing my town meta features as scummy points. The stuff he's saying about me is null at worst. And then I'm confidently scum? I've received a couple of cases like that (from scum) before. Most notably the case that called me a "drama queen" or something (LOL). That was a funny case. Anyways, it feels kind of like those cases, nitpicking null/towny things and painting them in the worst possible light. It doesn't even feel like an actual case, more like an effort to try and find *somethjng* (anything) bad about me... And failing, but calling me scum regardless.

Let's see... My current thoughts are... (not in any particular order)

Town

Vivax
Blazinghand
ritoky
Alakaslam

Nullish

GlowingBear
gumshoe
Hopeless1der
Onegu
yamato77
marvellosity

Scummy

Chromatically
raynpelikoneet

That's where I'm at... I think there's at least 1-2 scum between rayn/Chrom and then 1-2 in the null section.

Eh... I mean, you just said "huh someone else attacked rayn before?" implying you didn't read my posts, and then you scumread Slam for attacking rayn in a very similar fashion... Why put someone as your biggest scumread before even reading the context of his posts?

If you say this, then I also posted a pretty similar post spree before him? How did you miss that and only notice Slam? Why didn't you even comment on the whole debate itself, but jumped straight to saying that just Slam is scum?[/QUOTE]
you're not Slam?

are you on drugs?[/QUOTE]

Eh... I mean, you just said "huh someone else attacked rayn before?" implying you didn't read my posts, and then you scumread Slam for attacking rayn in a very similar fashion... Why put someone as your biggest scumread before even reading the context of his posts?[/QUOTE]
Slam made the post I quoted on rayn long before you did.

thread context. try it.[/QUOTE]

I didn't mean his reaction to being voted, I meant how you said he maliciously attacked rayn.... which happened after my posts... and then you said "someone attacked rayn before?".

Well generally I assume people should be treated the same if they do the same actions in the same context. This referring to our reactions to rayn's read shifts, which you bashed Slam for and totally ignored what I said (which was pretty much the same as Slam).

no i think rayn is town and i already explained why.


Hmmmm......

I see you said something like "shame rayn is probably town" but that's not much of an explanation...

What's with all these incomprehensible reads going on....

Ah yeah there was the thing at the start.... About him having the same 2 reads from the initial posts... But isn't it a bit too easy to give him a free town pass for just that? I think he's more than capable of appearing "good" in his starting posts at least.

Hardly the "exact same reads", and even if that was the case, it's just too much of a free pass for him to give a total townread for it.

Well last game rayn was scum (on Vendetta Strada) and I correctly pushed his lynch and got him lynched. I'm pretty sure I also correctly townread him when I was last town with him. Mostly it's been me as scum and him as town recently, though.

I can't say I'm an expert on rayn, but I'll just say that I feel his current game is closer to his scumgame on VS than anything else.

Yeah, I think I mentioned that I'd just straight away townread you if I rolled scum against you next time. But since I said that, would I really do it after all? The WIFOM is real.

Ah, and Chromatically... Not sure yet. He's kept being pretty reasonable / constructive all game, but I don't really think there's been much (if anything?) I've agreed with him on... And that case against me is just, pretty much describing my town meta features as scummy points. The stuff he's saying about me is null at worst. And then I'm confidently scum? I've received a couple of cases like that (from scum) before. Most notably the case that called me a "drama queen" or something (LOL). That was a funny case. Anyways, it feels kind of like those cases, nitpicking null/towny things and painting them in the worst possible light. It doesn't even feel like an actual case, more like an effort to try and find *somethjng* (anything) bad about me... And failing, but calling me scum regardless.


Here are the basic points I made: Xatalos was active without posting anything particularly in the beginning of the game (mafia do this because they want to appear active but have trouble posting content), waffling on votes (mafia do this because they want to keep their options open and not ignore their partners), throwing suspicion on rayn initially (mafia do this to make people look worse than they are), weird read on BH (mafia throw out townreads without thinking about why). The last two points are meh, but the first two I think are pretty clearly scum traits and certainly not "null at worst" from any perspective. The filter length defense is the only good one I've heard, but filter length is not everything.

If people really don't want to lynch Xatalos, I'll obviously consolidate onto someone else. But I do think I made a strong case and I feel good about it.


I mean... Posting a lot (including filler) is my town meta. As scum, I select more carefully what I post. Waffling is something I will do as scum, but also as town, so it's not really.... a point. I think my read on BH is decent, do you disagree with it? Even rayn finally admitted it wasn't meritless (at least "from my perspective" lol). Not sure why scumhunting is scummy again. It's not like I showed suspicion towards rayn baselessly.

although i doubt you'd make the same mistake twice


Btw can you really say I'm a pussy as scum after that game where I and Artanis bussed each other all game? That was fun.

Hm... There's actually only 6 hours remaining...

What the heck are all those votes on Vivax? He's definitely not the lynch today. In my experience, his scumgame is entirely different from this. Very lurky and overall uninvolved.

I don't really think GB is the best lynch either.. I'd much rather lynch rayn first, since GB is unlikely scum with rayn IMO.

Yeah, I'm still leaning towards rayn.

Chromatically, where would you "consolidate" if not for me?

yes, bussing each other is pussy way out because it means you don't have the balls to tunnel a townie

gonna have to try meta Chrome at some point. My evening cleared up (i was gonna be afk all weekend and spring that on you guys when i finished work, but my plans fell through)

pretty hard to shake my townfeels on rayn when he comes into the thread saying he has 2 townreads and no mafiareads when at that point i had 2 townreads and no mafiareads and the 2 townreads were the same as mine.

I like this post a lot, I get a strong town feeling from this.

I don't like any of these posts much. I don't think the anger thing is a good reason to townread yamato. I made an unexplained punt vote on GB and it reads as a bit of a weird defence. I'm also not sure that Chrome should be getting strong townfeels from the post i made rather than others/the whole body of play.

Also have this nagging feeling where Chrome described ritoky as picking up on "textbook mafia tells" and he's essentially doing the exact same thing with Xatalos. I don't like it. I understand picking up on Xata's read progression on rayn, I think it's possibly reasonable to be suspicious of that, but the rest of it I don't think I like much.


Well yeah I guess it's a bit odd... He basically suspected ritoky for making a reasonably similar case as his own latest case.... I mean the way of taking general scum traits (keeping options open etc.) then just finding some post where it could be applied and base the case on that.

Well, it warms my heart that I'm so high. Nice to be a pussy I guess?

[image loading]

Anyways, you'd really have to do better than to claim Slam's reaction to a vote / his attack on rayn was weird. I basically got the opposite picture from how he went about it.

Can't really disagree about the option of Chromatically.

GB... Doesn't really seem like the best lynch today. He's kind of null to me, but rayn's odd behavior towards him (hard defense -> hard attack) doesn't really seem like how he would treat a teammate. More like how scum rayn would treat someone he knew was town. So that basically pushes him out of my comfortable lynch range atm.

Is there really nothing else for you to defend rayn with than his initial agreement (not really) with your early reads? Even if his reads were actually quite different back then, unlike you said, and a HUGE AMOUNT of stuff has happened after that?

Isn't that pretty much what he's been doing towards me D1? Well, he did initially pick ritoky, I guess, but since that didn't go anywhere it became me.

Anyways didn't you learn from your mistakes? Last time as well, in the VS game, I started suspecting you and you turned on a switch where I was 100% scum. That was... really bad. As it is now. Pretty much exactly the same as what you're doing now, and it's still equally scummy.

Btw rayn it's not like I said my case on you in the last game was bad. I just said that it wasn't water-tight, but it was still good enough to pursue. And I think the same applies here. All the more because you were scum that time and all the same points hold true again.

WTF is this post btw? Where did the Slam scumread come from? And why is it pre-set that I should be the next lynch regardless of what Slam flips? And why am I even scum again, for suspecting you for the same reasons I suspected you last time you were scum? Wot? Nothing makes sense.

Apparently rayn mentioned Slam as a PoE suspect at one point but... why is he the lynch of choice suddenly? Over me who's 100% scum, or GB similarly?

Unfortunately I think a rayn/marv scumteam makes sense.

Because I have difficulties seeing why town marv would defend rayn based on something that never actually happened, in the first moments of the game, and ignoring everything rayn said afterwards.... Even though rayn already has like 7 pages of filter.

i'm not ignoring everything he says afterwards. i liked some of his longer posts.

you're coming at this in a really, really shallow way.

like I can answer your question about rayn's play.

rayn thinks GB could be mafia, but he has nagging meta/tonal reasons that he might be town
rayn thinks you are mafia because of your shit read on him, but he knows he cannot push a lynch through on you at all with me opposing it today
rayn recognises that me and him both agree on Slam, this is a good shot of being mafia and if he hits mafia he gets more cred to go after you.


Do you honestly think he believes I'm scum based on that? I made an extremely similar push last time I was town and he was scum, and he similarly immediately scumread me for the push. It's actually unbelievable how similar his gut reaction is.

And it's very odd how his PoE possibility of Slam being scum suddenly became the best lynch. Even though he's pushed GB for the recent times. And how is PoE even a valid reason for his lynch choice when he has several actual scumreads and overall his reads are nothing consistent? His reads have changed in so many directions that how is Slam still in a similar PoE position? I think he just saw an easy way out of getting lynched today and went for the easy route of sheeping you, even though there's still like 5-6 hours time left.

your push is shityy shit shit, and if you are town you can't read me (which doesn't surprise me at all based on your last game's case).


So how am I 100% scum because of this push if it wouldn't surprise you that I made this push as town?

GB, if you're town, seriously don't just commit suicide here. Looks like it's heading towards you vs rayn and it'd be sad if you caused your own death there, like a certain player in my newbie game....

I'm not commiting suicide, I'm getting angry that such shitty scum read on me based on a read that I find very reasonable and I'm having a hard time believing good players can't possibly see I'm town.


Maybe it means the player in question isn't town then? Or you should reconsider / fortify the read in question? In any case no reason to beg for votes..

you're an idiot.


Okay?

I mean.... Your merits this game are defending rayn (who's played exactly according to his scumgame so far, and made many unfathomable logical jumps) based on something that never really happened at the start, and some vague "nice posts" he's made. And attacking Slam for posts that I actually really liked about ritoky/rayn.

okay, you are welcome to think this

but when i end up being right about rayn, i reserve the right to never listen to your opinions in any game ever again.


Well, even if that happened, your reasoning would still suck (especially the part about you having the same reads at the start when you actually argued about your different reads on ritoky and the gumshoe read too... and it's not like it would have been hard for scum rayn to give decent initial townreads either).

I meant "shitty scumreads", not shitty scum reading me.

I think I buy this. Am I crazy?


Well that's basically how I saw his post to begin with?

Then start playing as town, vote for slam, and stop asking questions about what you should already know instead of telling us you have read the thread.


I
HAVE
READ
THE
THREAD

I KNOW YOU "YOLO'ED" AND CALLED ONEGU TOWN FOR NO REASON
I KNOW YOU META'ED HOPELESS AND CALLED HIM TOWN
I KNOW MARV AND YOU HAD TWO INITIAL TOWNREADS - XATALOS AND VIVAX
I KNOW YOU FUCKING HAD GUMSHOE AS MAFIA THEN FLIPPED YOUR READ

WHY CAN'T I BRING WHAT I THINK ABOUT PLAYERS AND ASK YOU TO COMMENT ABOUT WHAT I'VE BROUGHT INSTEAD OF SAYING "OH OKAY RAYN SAID THESE GUYS ARE TOWN SO THEY ARE"????!?!??

JESUS CHRIST

Because if you fail to realize your read on Vivax is actually really terrible then there is nothing to talk about that one. If you can't understand, when four players, me, marv, yamato, and Vivax (and to some extent other players -- well basically all of them) call your read bad, you should probably at least think your read can be bad, as we can't all be mafia, right? Instead of doing this, you come back and say "but i would never do this as mafia". Your read is bad, regardless of Vivax alignment, that's a fact. Yet you are just sitting there on that read doing nothing.

Onegu is likely town for his approach towards me early on in the game. Same goes to Hopeless. Furthermore, last time i asked Hopeless to do shit when he was mafia he didn't do shit. I agree Hopeless isn't doing much but is trying to do something, and that is a towntell for him. I will never lynch Hopeless or Onegu here on D1. Never. And you should not either, especially with players like Slam in the game (or even Blazinghand who hasn't actually done jack shit this game). Or ritoky, or gumshoe. Never ever.

The last three of those have posted but all of theirs posts have nothing much to say. Now not all of them can be mafia, because Slam is definitely scum, and i can't even know which one of them is/isn't scum, but i am most certain of Onegu not being mafia. Basically Onegu just doesn't care, which is not what his scumplay looks like, and while i hate the way he plays, that's what he does as town.

So if you are town get your head out of your tunnel'y ass and start considering also what other people say, especially when almost everyone in the game shares the view OPPOSITE of yours on Vivax.


You fail to realise that I asked your opinion exactly because my townread were saying my scum read is town. But then, when you come to the thread, you scum read me. What am I supposed to do, listen to you and vote me????

Like, seriously, you and Marv could simply answer my question. But instead you decided I'm scum. I AM considering what other people say. Unfortunately, they are saying I'm scum, and that's wrong. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do.


Well I think this post is more likely from town.... Hm. It's not so easy to fake this confusion/paranoia as town IMO.

it's irrelevant what my reasoning is when the result is always correct

it's not for nothing rayn made a post a couple pages ago "there is only one person on the planet who can read me"

he means me.

go away.


Well if the reasoning sucks, then it's just luck / TMI / lying... Nothing to brag about. In any case, I'm fairly sure I'm right, so I guess we'll see how things go.

Well every gambler has winning streaks

This should probally tell you that Gb is totes town. The lynch momentum is falling off him, and what does he do? "Hey that guy whose supposed to die instead of me? Maybs lets him live."

Even if there scum buddies it makes no sense.


I guess that makes sense... Your argument I mean. I'd happily jump on Slam if I was scum GB.

This is a complete mischaracterisation of my play. I never ever do this. I never do this as town, i never do this as mafia. I have never changed my read on anyone without a reason or a "reason" (as mafia). I always have a reason for why i post the things i do.

I have clearly explained every single read change i have had in this game (which is basically GlowingBear, Xatalos himself and ritoky). I went onto a long conversation about ritoky earlier, and at that time apparently there was nothing wrong with it for him. But now again it is a reason for scumreading me? I have also explained why i changed my read on GlowingBear, at that time there was nothing wrong with it for him? It should be really easy to see why i think Xatalos is mafia - or at least a bit earlier - why i reconsidered my read on him.

Slam's points on me are literally shit, and as marv pointed out Slam just decided he calls me mafia nad then started quoting my posts and called them scummy. All of his points are unture, what he says i have for example done in the last couple of games -- i have literally did the same thing (which makes me scumread GB too, as he should know Slam's points are shit, yet he doesn't address them -- as i just acted towards GB the same way in the last two games). Somehow Xatalos thinks those points are good? Bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit.

Another thing is he is trying to paint my read on him as OMGUS when there is nothing even close to that. I have actually reasons to think he is scum. He isn't trying to figure out my alignment, and to be honest this is kinda funny because all he says is "he did the exact same thing last time he was mafia and i caught him", funnily enough this is the EXACT case i myself made on rsoultin in that game. He is also not not even re-considering his read in any way when marv, who is the only person who can ever read me correctly all the time, heavily disagrees with his read. Instead he decides that we must BOTH be mafia. I find it almost impossible to believe that's what he actually thinks.

There is basically no way Xatalos thinks i am most likely to flip mafia here. I could understand he thinks i am mafia, but not like this, and not for the reasons he pulls out of his ass. He is basically not a person who "yolo's" a scumread like this without digging further into it. If he did, he would see that:
1) my reads are not actually unexplained, nor are the changes on them, it's really easy to see why i do the stuff i do
2) me acting like "i did as mafia" is a pure mischaracterisation of my play.

The read is wrong and lazy as fuck, and misses all the reasoning for me to do things i do (which btw is there if you read closely).


Well, it is OMGUS. It literally went like "Xatalos is prolly just town" -> "oh wait, he scumreads me?" -> "100% scum" in like... a couple of minutes. Your reads ARE very weird and especially their progression. You've pretty much went against anyone currently "under fire" regardless of your previous stances on them. Whenever thread sentiment turns against someone, you conveniently find some scummy post that you forgot about him earlier and vote for him. The same thing repeated with ritoky, GB and me... Town -> scum because of thread sentiment / OMGUS, not because anything actually changed in reality.

I decided to look further on GB because of what yamato, marv and Vivax said.
I actually dug myself further into ritoky.
I have thought Slam is mafia all game.

Somehow you are incapable of seeing why i did these things, when it should be very clear from my filter. And that is why i think you are scum. You are just painting it as "unexplained read changes" when it's definitely not.


Well, you just said it like it is... Hard defense -> heavy scumread based on thread sentiment, while finding some sort of justification (a single bad post or something) in their filter. It's just too drastic and the timings are too convenient. Slam has been a PoE read, conveniently always staying in the Poe regardless of all the shifts, and now it's OMGUS.

So in your opinion is that i cannot call shit reads shit? And think people who should not make shit reads are not mafia?

I guess i start calling every single player mafia in the game when i roll scum and when they attack me back i yell OMGUS. Best strat ever.


Well that's what you did last game as scum (minus the "every", replaced with "a lot of")

Well Slam, I hope you do your part :D It could be a little difficult after rayn and marv set their sights on you, but... It's not like their points really carry any weight. It's just some general statements like "he decided rayn was scum and cherrypicked reasons for it afterwards" when in reality I think your catch-up post spree was a pretty natural progression with several reads.

What do you mean "conveniently". Slam did nothing for a good stretch of time, then spam posted the thread. 80% of which was "hey check out why rayn in scum".


I mean it seemed like Slam was always like a fall-back option for him, kept there at the end of the list to vote for if given the chance. When you put it that way, I guess that point's not really too big.

Tbh my current scumteam would be rayn/marv/Chromatically, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on at least one. There are too many people who have done barely anything (Onegu/Hopeless mainly I think, and several others haven't done much later in the day). It's pretty likely there could be scum among that group.

Eh... Didn't you just show the opposite to be true? That he thinks he's totally unlynchable as town, like he said this game, whereas he thinks he's unlynchable until D2 as scum?

For the record, I'll say that I'm pretty unlynchable as town as well I haven't been lynched as town since my few very first games. You can try it if you want, rayn/marv, but I don't think even you would succeed.

case against me debunked.

ez game ez life.

I want the town to remember the 40's of this game.

So obvious that Rayn and Marv are working together in a dubious fashion and in the 50's, they disappear after I start talking about their lack of logical answering to xata's perfectly good questions.

They ar using seniority to push bad reasoning, which is a senior scum tactic. There is no reason to use their seniority this way other than to push mislynches.

I no longer give two shits Marv's read on chroma.


Yeah I thought about that a bit well... It was slightly uncomfortable when I showed that marv's argument for rayn to be town was simply BS and he fell back on "I have more experience, you have no right to question me" instead of reconsidering his read or anything.

Slam feels... different, I typically see him as a derpy jokey player, but hes pretty intense this game. Breaking meta for sure, not certain what it means though.

Rayn seems pretty amped up, I feel like he started the game angry and just gets angrier as the game goes on, but the rage hasnt been too focused. Rayn is perfectly capable of tunneling one person forever and coming up with all manner of bullshit on them, but he really has been all over the place, which would suggest he is actually trying to figure stuff out in his own way. Or hes just flailing, trying to get whatever lynch to go down.

As for slam, def some wierd stuff cropping up here and there.

GB hard defense of Yamato making me wonder.


in context with mah yamato case, this is a bit sketch, if Slam pushed to get gb lynched based off association with yam, and gb was town, his flip would in no way impact yamato. It's a small thing / : for sure.

Mostly I dont want rayn to be scum, because then Bh will be right and well never hear the end of it. But I'm not sure slam is scum either. I dont like this lynch choice at all T_T


Haha.... Be ready for BH's mention of this game next time around...

I wonder where BH went to though.

Well it's better than Slam for sure. Or even GB. Still not as good as rayn. I really want to bag the credit for getting him lynched as scum 2 times in a row (I could consolidate on Chromatically too tbh, as for marv I think it's too early to hang him now)

This should probally tell you that Gb is totes town. The lynch momentum is falling off him, and what does he do? "Hey that guy whose supposed to die instead of me? Maybs lets him live."

Even if there scum buddies it makes no sense.


I guess that makes sense... Your argument I mean. I'd happily jump on Slam if I was scum GB.

What GB does makes also sense if he is.... DADAAAA scum with Slam.


Maybe.... But I really, really doubt Slam is scum.

Be good and lynch GB with me.


Tbh I kind of liked some of his latest posts. Like the post where he said he didn't want to lynch Slam today, and the post where he vented about marv/rayn calling him scum with an arrogant attitude. I could relate to that feeling, you know.

What I mean his frustration/confusion felt genuine when he talked about the situation.

In any case, who I'd be willing to lynch today are pretty much:

rayn
Chromatically
Onegu

Meh, actually Onegu's filter isn't really suspicious. Even though it's useless. I think both rayn and Chromatically would give a better chance of hitting scum, mostly rayn.

It's not like he's the worst lynch ever. And his read on you is bad. It still makes me hesitant when all of my main suspects want to lynch him, and his responses to all this pressure seemed genuine/town-motivated.

Sorry, why is he okay?

BTW I'm pretty sure Vivax is mafia now. He comes back, jokes about stuff, says some random stuff about killing me, but actually talks about nothing else in the game. His read on yamato has vanished, too.

I can't understand what you guys find townie in him.


Well I think his read post was decent enough. It looked like he had actually read the thread somewhat.

Mostly it's that from what I've seen of his scumgame, it's extremely uninvolved / lurky. Here he's invested in the discussion at various points and actually seems to care about what's going on.

Really marv? I think Slam has said a lot more interesting stuff already than he ever did last game (as scum). There he just basically hanged around, trolling, but I thought he was town because he was so "natural" in the thread.

This game... Mostly I was enlightened by him liking ritoky for his "town BH makes reads based on his RNG push DING DING" post (which really makes me feel better about ritoky too, since I forgot that post and wondered a bit about his confidence in BH being town... Now I understand). Also I liked how he brought up the weird progression from rayn regarding GB... Which basically went like certain town -> die scum, based on.. What? Missing posts from GB earlier? Then why that hard defense of him in the first place, without even reading his posts? And now the confident scumread because that's where the thread was flowing?

What I'm trying to say is, reading Slam's posts made me feel better about Slam and ritoky, and worse about rayn. Not really sure how you came to your conclusions marv...?

On the other hand, GB has felt a bit better lately. The Vivax read is a bit... But like marv said, it feels like a really weird target to pick as scum. And I liked his meta thing about me. And he's unlikely scum with rayn (no reason for scum rayn to suddenly go on the offensive this late in the day otherwise after hard defending him before).


So I See you going to the mat for slam here. How does Slam convince you rayn is scum? I'm glad to see someone on board with the "GB being stubborn could be a town-tell" boat, but how does this have to do with an associative tell with rayn? Rayn is totally willing to attack teammates when appropriate as scum, and in a game with no investigative roles I'd be a lot more confident about rayn lasting through lylo as scum than I would GB. Can you explain in a bit more detail why rayn as scum wouldn't change his mind on GB as scum, if GB's push starts to falter?

That's where I'm at... I think there's at least 1-2 scum between rayn/Chrom and then 1-2 in the null section.


Why do you have marv as scum? As I noted earlier, Marv is like supremely demotivated as scum now (to the point of almost throwing games, never trying, conceding with 3 or 2 scum alive, etc). It's super obvious to me that marv is town, since he's actually trying to play the game rather than be a little whiny baby about it. Just look at his game history.


It wasn't a decisive part really, but Slam brought up the whole issue of rayn's read on GB and how it shifted based on thread sentiment rather than anything changing about GB. He was first oddly certain about GB being town, then suddenly oddly certain about him being scum (and this happened because of pressure gathering on GB, not because he said new stuff). I don't really see why rayn should have dropped the GB read as scum since GB is still a lynch candidate.

Do you townread Chromatically and why?

I didn't have marv as scum back when I made that post. Currently I'm leaning towards the possibility. Mostly because of his odd hard defense of rayn that was based on something that didn't even happen. It makes the most sense in the event of a rayn/marv team, but we'll see if that's the case.

Here are the basic points I made: Xatalos was active without posting anything particularly in the beginning of the game (mafia do this because they want to appear active but have trouble posting content), waffling on votes (mafia do this because they want to keep their options open and not ignore their partners), throwing suspicion on rayn initially (mafia do this to make people look worse than they are), weird read on BH (mafia throw out townreads without thinking about why). The last two points are meh, but the first two I think are pretty clearly scum traits and certainly not "null at worst" from any perspective. The filter length defense is the only good one I've heard, but filter length is not everything.

If people really don't want to lynch Xatalos, I'll obviously consolidate onto someone else. But I do think I made a strong case and I feel good about it.


Uh, isn't that consistent with Xat buying into RNG, townreading me, and pushing the RNG target? The actions you've described are like, the actions of someone who has joined the glory of RNG so unless you're saying "buying into RNG is scummy" I dont' think you've got a case here buddy

...

Are you trying to say that Xatalos' read on rayn is based on him following RNG?


Haha :D:D:D:D

He failed the entry test of participating on a wavelength with others (which is why he didn't make it into my initial town list)

He's good at nonstop producing reads with some arguments attached to them but doesn't really interact with the thread much until he gets scummed.

The ritoky picture argument he called a slam dunk argument (Not sure if bad or mafia for this one, but both is also possible. So it's 66 % vs 33%, science never fails).

Feels mechanical (stick up his arse).

And obviously, this is part me, part marv propaganda.


Hmm... Well, I'm extremely fine with the lynch being rayn vs Chromatically.

I'm okay with Slam being lynched. I think BH or Xatalos would probably be better but I'm doubting myself on Xatalos now too so I don't really know.

I'm probably overreacting to marv because no one else seems to think it's weird.


Hm you mean the way how he "cherrypicked" on your meta? Well... Dunno really, as I don't know your meta. And it's overall hard to comment since I don't exactly trust either of you.

Btw less than 2 hours to lynch and Slam is still getting lynched.

Which is not the way to go.

Now get on rayn/Chromatically instead and it should be a decent lynch.

pro xata logic as always


It remains questionable if the majority of people voting for Slam are even town. In any case, Hopeless and yamato are hardly "top players".

Well, tbh it might be better to focus on this game now.

I think your vote on Chromatically is fine enough. I may drop my own vote on him if need be. It's just that I'm not totally confident about him and rayn seems like the clearer choice.

It feels extremely questionable to sheep you three when yamato is hardly playing at all, rayn is 100% scumreading me for BS reasons and you're defending rayn for almost as bad of reasons.

this is why you are not a competent townplayer


Because I don't take BS arguments and sheepvotes seriously?

Oh yeah Onegu did say rayn was 90% town. Although he never explained why.

Onegu... Are you really sure about your rayn read? Because you said that town rayn "wants you to do more". But here his reactions to you have been basically like "I don't want to talk with you", "shut up and sheep". Is that him wanting you to do more? Well, it's not exactly buddying either, but...

It's a shame that Slam disappeared at this timing... There's not really much time left... But it's not really too late yet. Only a couple of switches would do it to kill rayn.

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

and btw this is what GB does as scum.
He basically does something that is "too scummy to be scum" then, when called out for it he says "mafia would never do that so i am not mafia". Hell he isn't even really defending his read (see Trfel/Damdred last game), he just says "i would not pick Vivax as my target as mafia because people are townreading him".


eh, I guess I see what you're getting at here but compared to the significantly worse issues on hand (low contribution players) is GB the ideal lynch today? If this is really the case, the truth will out in the next day anyways

Read the last scumgame in database, mainly Koshi's case on him D1.
Also what Koshi says there holds up on GoT game aswell.

Unfortunately I think a rayn/marv scumteam makes sense.

Because I have difficulties seeing why town marv would defend rayn based on something that never actually happened, in the first moments of the game, and ignoring everything rayn said afterwards.... Even though rayn already has like 7 pages of filter.


Marv is NOT SCUM. MARV IS NOT SCUm

MARV IS NOT SCUM

Look, last game (student XV) Marv was scum and he was so disappointed to roll sucm again he like, conceded during NIGHT 1.

MARV IS PLAYING THE GAME, THEREFORE HE IS NOT SCUM.

IF Marv was scum, he would basicallyc ontinue to be a super whiny baby and not play. Marv was SUCH A WHINY BABY. UGH. He basically ruined a whole newbie game (a newbie game!) because of what a whiny baby he was about rolling scum. Do you really think he somehow shaped up and stopped being a whiny baby? No, Marv is gonna be a whiny baby until he plays a game or two as town or takes a break. This is true.


I think the high amount of veteran players in this game might help in that regard, but I can understand your point....

I mean, he might be more motivated since the players aren't newbies? But... if that's really the case, then I can understand why you're townreading him.

No not really but def dont think he is the lynch today. I wouldnt lynch him today for sure I am that comfortable.


Really... because I can't see your meta argument really holding up this game...

But in any case. If not rayn, which players would you want to lynch?

BH - re: Slam

there was the post I quoted of his earlier, the post where he originally has a go at rayn about his vote on him. The post where he says he'll never get lynched before lylo and rayn is suspicious for going after LHF.

Well the thing is, Slam as town has always somewhat reconciled himself to being lynched. In fact, he's often asked to be lynched so he doesn't burden his team later on.

This meta may well have changed, he's become more self-confident or whatever. But I think the switch to "you are voting me therefore you are suspicious, and i am unlynchable" is too much.

After this post he kinda periodically quotes rayn and calls his posts suspicious, based on not very much.

Then when I also become suspicious of Slam, he doesn't really think why I might be suspicious of him, he just lumps me as mafia along with rayn. It's the true definition of omgus because he doesn't actually have any other reason to be suspicious of me other than the fact I am voting for him.

He makes posts like "the way marv and rayn are arrogant this game is telling" without explaining how it's telling.

I'm seeing no passion, no fire, no sparks of... anything in his play.

Is it a slam dunk case? No, it isn't. But i have reasons to townread a lot of other people so my pool is kinda smallish. Can't see why he should be town.


hmmm

The truth is, I liked his posts about you/rayn/marv quite a bit when I read them.

If you say no passion, then there's already a ton more of effort so far than all along in his last scumgame.

Can't say I can read him well though.

It's just that he's pretty much said all the same things I've thought.

Hard to see him being scum after all that.

If you think Slam's posts are scummy, then mine should be as well.

What's the difference? He's mostly used the same arguments and even the same posting style for accusing rayn.

Not Voting (3): Blazinghand, gumshoe, ritoky

Don't forget to vote, only 1h left. And I kind of think this group is town atm.

Why did you even unvote in the first place, BH?

If you all vote for rayn, we can do this

Btw I think there's almost definitely one scum between Slam/rayn. Just looking at how the votes are so gathered on the two people without the usual random outliers where scum like to hide. Except Onegu's vote I guess.

Hm. I was starting to think that Slam actually COULDN'T even be scum based on all the votes being piled on Slam... But then I remembered the people still having not voted at all. I guess if you assume that the scumteam is something like Slam/ritoky/gumshoe, then it's not impossible. But that's quite the improbable scumteam and most likely the scumteam is just hopping on lynching town Slam to save scum rayn at this point in time.

Whatever happened with rayn? You were still talking about the RNG on him a while ago and him being otherwise scummy, but now he's not an option anymore?

How is this helping your reads?


ritoky had an early "textbook" mafia read of gumshoe (as per chromatically), gumshoe posted more, I wanted to know where ritoky's read ended up because he hadnt updated it and needed to be prompted a couple times. In general, my reads for those three are gumshoe>chromatically>ritoky (in order of townyness)


This makes sense.

Alright.

As for where I am, I just made a post on Marv suspecting chroma, and am starting to think Marv may just be off on reading me specifically and trying to see his pov with less bias.

So

There is that. BH is someone I would not lynch. I wouldn't lynch ritoky either. I am voting Rayn short of a better alternative, was dead certain but I still recognize that Marv is better than I am at this. He may be scum, but that is based pretty heavily on whether or not Rayn is and I flipped associations are newbie textbook level bad.

This issue is my primary focus, you were my secondary and I had no tertiary.


In general, Slam's buddying of me makes me pretty nervous cause at this point in time there's no particular reason to townread me

So instead of what's stupid, what do you think is... scummy/towny?

I liked marv's pressure of GB. I had issue with what GB posted myself and it makes me feel better about him.

GB, on the other hand, hasn't posted anything outside of what I believe he could post as mafia, so I'm still quite suspicious of him.


Hm... I guess I agree. Though doesn't your last sentence make him null instead of suspicious?

No, it makes him suspicious.

yamato i am pretty sure GlowingBear is town here. Basically he says really scummy shit that makes absolutely no sense as mafia, because he doesn't really know what to do at all (i assume). Here he has some sort of a thought process going on in his head. Basically it's highly unlike he is scum here.

Same goes for Hopeless, he tried to do stuff. He is just doing it in his own way that looks scummy to basically everyone.. always.

I am really really sure ritoky is mafia. I am also quite sure Slam is scum because of process of elimination. Xatalos is probably just really fucking dumb atm, but at least his explanation to BH thing makes some sense, unlike ritoky's. ritoky basically argues that Blazinghand is town based on illogical arguments, or arguments that are easily proven wrong. Like even if he believes those arguments are true the read is shit and arguing the read is good for those things is something that a townie never does.

Last scum is probably Blazinghand or Onegu. I kinda think it's Onegu atm, since Blazinghand seems to be trying to do something and getting something out of his shennies at the start of the game. I don't believe gumshoe is scum, basically his reacation towards me doesn't make any sense as mafia. He is right in that i suually pressure him every game we are in and i know he acts differently when he is scum than when he is town. I just don't see him being scum here.

Vivax is basically his own paranoid town self with a portion of good logical thoughts. marv is almost definitely town. you are almost definitely town. Chromatically seems to be the most level headed person in this game. It's like not totally out of question he is scum here but most likely he is just town as his posting suggests.

Opinion all over the place

this is not "opinion all over the place". It's a very clear post that follows my filter and my thought process 100%. There is nothing "all over the place" here. Literally.

I have a question. Xatalos do you seriously think Blazinghand - as town - believes that lynching by RNG on D1 has the best chances of hitting mafia? Like do you SERIOUSLY believe that?


depending on the setup of the game and the structure of PRs, yes.

really?
when he himself just argued it's less likely to hit mafia then not rng lycnhing?


it's actually equally as likely, so i disagree with your premise entirely.

it's actually really simple. i mean i guess it's pretty simple for me cuz i read like 10 of BH's games in the recent past so i could accurately impersonate him. here's your guide to reading BH:

Did he RNG immediately @ the start of the game: if yes -> 80% chance to be town; if no -> 80% chance to be mafia

Did he push the RNG target or just leave it there like a dead fish: if push -> 95% chance to be town; if dead fish - 50% chance to be mafia

Did he gather reads from people arguing with him about why they are better than RNG: yes - DING DING DING town; i don't know he hasn't given reads - 75% town; no - 50% town

rayn, was this your turning point on ritoky? They're right when saying that ritoky posted nothing between "(rayn thinks) ritoky is town" and "POE lynch list include ritoky".

Yeah as i said that was yesterday. I clearly pointed out (before going to bed) that i dislike Xatalos' & ritoky's reads on BH which i had missed earlier as i was tired. My townread on ritoky before was not based on that at all. I jsut didn't pay attention to his posts because i didn't think he was saying anything interesting. It's like how i treat players who don't say anything interesting (unless something changes)... in every game.

There is absolutely nothing contradicting there, i re-evaluated his posting after i had slept and dug up further and came to conclusion he is mafia, because:
1) His read on BH is bad.
2) His reasoning for his read doesn't even make any sense.for example; he says there is 80% chance BH does this rng thing as town, so there is actually then 20% chance of BH doing that as mafia - by default. When people tell his that "BH could totally do that as mafia" it doesn't affect his read at all. In fact he just pushes the townread further with more illogical arguments, like trying to argue random lynching is as effective as not random lynching, which is a straight out lie, and doesn't even have anything to do with BH's alignment.

So yeah, there is that. That's basically the only thing he has done in this game in addition to now bitching at me.

See you don't do this stuff as town

Now this is the most interesting part. Again i have literally done the same thing in my last two games:
Battle of the Drams - where i ignored GlowingBear's and rsoultin's posting until they started saying something interesting / scummy -- that's what i have been doing lately because i don't want to argue with everyone and i can actually trust certain players' reads on them.
Firefly - where i ignored GlowingBear (until yamato called him sure scum) and Cake -- for similar reason than in Drams.

Now Slam even played in the earlier game and i actually did many 180's in that game, i even flip-flopped my read on himself for like two days, because i couldn't decide if he is mafia or not. The point here is Slam should know i do the stuff he claims i am mafia for as town -- and says i don't do it.

Not gonna fly Slam, you're scum.


Slam's theory on his lynch time as well as his "critique" of your post are both way off. It's possible at the time (and at this point, as far as people knew, I was gonna be on Rayn like a dog on an ass-flavored biscuit) he thought he could roll into the wagon I was driving and hide.

Although I think it's more telling that ritoky had been in cell than any of this other stuff, rayn's reaosning seems solid and slam's meta case seems wrong. So I'm gonna say "slam is one hundo percent wrong on rayn, and kinda obviously wrong, and also lying about his own meta".

I like where this case is going. I'm dropping down a vote on slam tentatively until I'm caught up.

##vote: Alakaslam


I already said that I can tentatively buy your meta case, though. How should I know that marv has been not playing as scum in his last games? I haven't seen those games. I don't see how me not being all-knowing of recent games makes me not worth listening to at all.

If that's your decision, then I guess it's hard to overturn the lynch at this point... But it's still one of the worse lynches available, so it's kind of sad. The scumteam would have to be something stupid like Slam/gumshoe/GB or Slam/gumshoe/ritoky or Slam/GB/ritoky for it to make real sense. None of those teams are likely at all, and every potential scum candidate voted for Slam quickly when the opportunity came.

It looks like the lynch is set... Well, it doesn't make much sense for Slam to flip scum with this vote progression, and it makes all the more sense for rayn to be scum (with Slam being the scum counter-wagon).

marv, how is competence decided by the games which you have played? That's the same as calling you incompetent because you didn't play in the VS games.

Let me explain my thought.... As the day progressed, there were a ton of votes distributed around. A lot of players were kind of switching back and forth and around to other suspects. This all changed when rayn became the leading wagon. Suddenly new votes started piling on Slam until rayn was "safe", and basically everyone in my PoE list went to Slam according to this rayn-saving flow. That's one of the major reasons why I think the lynch is scum rayn and town Slam.

do you think BH is scum?


Not really, why?


if you're thinking unflipped associations; i would assume you have considered: BH pushes his RNG lynch really hard when he is town doing it -> he RNG'd rayn -> rayn is in legitimate threat of being lynched -> BH stops pushing for rayn, says sad about TR him -> pushes on slam.

i would feel like you would be sketched out a bit by BH's progression if you think rayn is so firmly mafia. certainly way more than marv's progression.


Hm... I guess that's not impossible. I think it was a bit odd how BH unvoted rayn just when rayn became the leading wagon. There are still reasons to townread BH though.

He was still set to be lynched. Just before the Slam wagon started in full force.

Yes, but I forgot that post as we got into the argument between me/rayn/Slam. Or before that really, while I was doing exams and thinking about other stuff. I never wanted to lynch you anyway. It just disturbed me how you defended rayn for non-existent/vague reasons, ran out of arguments and told me to just sheep you quietly, and had many of your reads opposite of me.

and why exactly is this not a scumtell anymore`?


I'm willing to let it slide for the time being if his current scum meta is to not play and concede as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any requests for reads now, since we're getting close to deadline and I don't have much time


Whatever happened with rayn? You were still talking about the RNG on him a while ago and him being otherwise scummy, but now he's not an option anymore?


If he's town he'll probably be shot (After marv) anyways. I'm not worried. RNG is just a tool used to generate discussion, though I'll never admit it. And it worked fine for what it was. Let's focus on actually catching scum.

I don't think that list post was too bad either. My vote was mainly to pick the lesser bad between Slam and Onegu. But looks like it's not happening anyway.

If it's the case that marv wouldn't want to play at all as scum, as it seems to be, that just leaves me to conclude that marv is off his game. I guess that can happen to everyone... I'll need to confirm that for myself next though.

As for rayn/Chromatically, they should be lynched next most likely. Currently undecided on the last suspect.

Why do you call him troll? He played this game more seriously and focused more on scumhunting than I've ever seen him do. Last time he was scum, he only trolled all game. Nothing like that here.

Seriously rayn, you hosted the game where he was scum and only trolled all game. You even talked to me on Skype how he didn't really play at all. Here his effort level was like 20-30x higher, yet you are mad about it. Following your logic, half of the players in this game are useless trolls, since he put in more effort than most. Especially Onegu/Hopeless/gumshoe.

I don't really know what to say. I've never seen him put in this much effort, and I think the average level of effort from players is lower than his effort this game. This game is full of veterans so obviously the level of play is generally higher, but still he didn't seem bad or anything. The opposite actually.

Basically, I don't think someone who joins games with the attitude of ruining the game if he rolls a specific role has the right to call anyone terrible. Especially if he also can't read people properly.

As for rayn, I'm appeased by the fact that he is scum.

But I won't completely rule out the option that marv could be scum and the scumteam forced him to actually play in this game. I know I would have done everything I could to achieve that in their position. Well, looking at the last game, that might have still not been possible....

Bro I've put way more effort into this game than you and def more than slam and thats Besides the fact that I wasn't pushing for a retarded lynch like half of town.

I've provided plenty of solid reasons all throughout day 1 for why I deemed gb, rayn and slam town. I scum read you initially and then realized I was flat out wrong before my idiocy impacted the lynch (something you could learn from).

Worst thing is, now you fucking group me with the people I wanted gone? That is total bullshit.

apologize to gumshoe + Lynch yamato/hopeless day 2= eat crow and profit.


What could I learn from? I was right.

But I agree that you have actually posted some stuff in this game. Although it's mostly been about policy lynching lurkers.

Maybe I should take a small break now. I don't usually get invested enough in games to insult people.

...... Okay. But that's really what it boils down to, since the other stuff didn't have much impact during the day. At most it gathered responses like "scum post" or "useless wall of text" (not by me, mind you).

how could you figure that out so quickly without help? so clever, you get towncred from me for your original discovery

oh no wait

oh no

the opposite of that


When did I claim it was an original discovery? I just went and looked for myself since the doubt of you misrepresenting something wouldn't leave my head after your unvote + support of rayn when he was in actual danger.

Seriously rayn, you hosted the game where he was scum and only trolled all game. You even talked to me on Skype how he didn't really play at all. Here his effort level was like 20-30x higher, yet you are mad about it. Following your logic, half of the players in this game are useless trolls, since he put in more effort than most. Especially Onegu/Hopeless/gumshoe.


Bro I've put way more effort into this game than you and def more than slam and thats Besides the fact that I wasn't pushing for a retarded lynch like half of town.

I've provided plenty of solid reasons all throughout day 1 for why I deemed gb, rayn and slam town. I scum read you initially and then realized I was flat out wrong before my idiocy impacted the lynch (something you could learn from).

Worst thing is, now you fucking group me with the people I wanted gone? That is total bullshit.

apologize to gumshoe + Lynch yamato/hopeless day 2= eat crow and profit.


What could I learn from? I was right.

But I agree that you have actually posted some stuff in this game. Although it's mostly been about policy lynching lurkers.

Maybe I should take a small break now. I don't usually get invested enough in games to insult people.


your wrong about Rayn / : if things had gone your way it would have been just as bad, only slam wouldnt have started crying green tears like Rayn.

Also scum have a harder time just talking than town / : whats wrong with looking at lurkers who have shit reads on top of being lurkers?


Well, we'll see. I won't say that there couldn't be scum among the lurkers.

I still think Vivax is town. He didn't do much later on in the day, but he was still constantly involved and talking. What I've seen of scum Vivax is total apathy towards the thread.

I guess marv has to be town since he doesn't even play as scum anymore (it's a pretty sad reason, but it is what it is).

Blazinghand I still think is town. He was active around the deadline and trying shenanigans, even if scum should have been content with the way things were going.

gusmhoe is... town? It's not completely certain, but I think this is the best performance I've ever seen out of him. It would be nice to see more detailed analysis by someone who knows his "active" meta.

GlowingBear could be town. I liked some of the things he did later on D1. I think his alignment is rather strongly tied with rayn's. If rayn is scum, he's almost certainly not scum. If rayn is town, he has a decent chance of being scum. Especially considering his switch to rayn when things got heated at the end. Hard to see him doing that as scum with rayn.

Hopeless is... what? No idea. Some people said he was sure town, but it's hard to believe that without any evidence. Null.

rayn is probably scum. At least I really hope so. His play in this game has been focused on trying to push forward mislynches (me + Slam for certain, plus others with varying probability), OMGUS and unnatural read progression (not dependent on game events, but rather what's convenient for survival/mislynches).

Onegu is ?

Chromatically could well be scum. Like someone said, he's been kind of mechanical and detached. There's no... real thread presence. Just posting some stuff from time to time.

ritoky is town? It felt like he kind of disappeared later on. At least his initial posts were nice.. Hopefully he'll come back in force. If not, I'll reconsider.

Dunno about yamato yet. Many people seem to consider him obvtown, but I haven't yet seen anything definitely townie. He's been this inactive as both town/scum in my experience, and usually he's only more active as town. Maybe he will make a grand entrance at some point.

I hope you die tonight. And I dont mean in the game.


...... Okay. But that's really what it boils down to, since the other stuff didn't have much impact during the day. At most it gathered responses like "scum post" or "useless wall of text" (not by me, mind you).


I have no power over how people chose to take what I've said. But I have been trying, and you of all people who have been harping about my lurker meta should appreciate that as opposed to taking low blows against me.

I will be back later with ANOTHER case against hopeless and Yamato. Others can feel free to call them lurker tunneling or shitty wot's if that makes them feel better. Cause you know who gets called a shitposter by everyone till thier blue in the face? The guy whose onto scum : D but isnt good enough to convince town to listen to him ) that or just a shitty player). Regardless I will continue to push the people I think are scum. Not the small horde of poor bastards town will likely go through in the days to come if they all act like you.


Well, sorry about the "low blow", but I think it was lower to hope that I would die IRL. Regardless, keep at it. It was a mistake to lump you with Onegu/Hopeless, I admit it. It's better if you keep trying rather than dive into lurkerland.

It's also a great misrepresentation to say that Slam was trolling this game. I think there were many insights of value from him. All the better since he's confirmed town.

Gotta say, I laughed a bit after reading your Slam-imitating spree. But to be fair, he didn't really make those troll posts much in this game. In his last game he trolled like 99% of the time, here he trolled maybe 20% of the time. The general ratio is something like 50-80% trolling, I guess. Yet I haven't really seen you angry about that before? If you have been, enlighten me.

You know slam for such long time rayn.

Why does his play style surprises you now?


Because he's scum and has to find some excuse for the horrible lynch. Even if the excuse doesn't relate to facts (Slam being less trolly than ever this game).

Not to mention, Slam wasn't even lynched for trolling but his serious posts... Who knows why... So it's not really even a passable excuse. 1) overall false and 2) not related to why Slam was lynched

Actually, I'm back to doubting if Marv is even 100% cleared with his recent meta. It sounds just... a bit too lazy to clear him with that. It's hard for me to explain what marv did yesterday as a town play (pushing through the Slam lynch above all with reasons that sounded too lazy - like "I looked at his filter and this scum narrative seems to make a bit of sense, let's push it" instead of considering the big picture of his steady contributions in the game - and even more the way he defended rayn as if he had decided rayn was town from the first minute of the game and refused to consider otherwise, even if his reasons were shown misplaced).

Not to say that marv should be lynched tomorrow, but if i die, definitely don't trust him blindly and lynch him if things continue like this until LYLO.

Ritoky's switch onto Onegu last second makes very little sense as scum, if Onegu is town and gets bussed last sec, Ritoky looks terrible. If Onegue is scum, he just helped kill his teamate 0_0 seems like a dumb and unnecessary risk when town is already fixated on slam.

It's possible Ritoky was super confident Bh's lynch wouldn't go through, but then why bother at all? Just to distance himself from the slam lynch? Could backfire huge if Onegu actually did get lynched (would look like a last second buss off of Ritoky's buddy slam)


Hm yes... That makes some sense. Although I think BH is more towny for starting the whole shenanigans in that situation. If he was scum and either rayn or Onegu was scum, it was madness. Even if they were both town (unlikely), it was just an unnecessary action that could cause trouble for him if a switch actually succeeded.

The only way I see it making sense for scum BH (or scum ritoky) is if they were very certain that nothing would come out of it and it would plausibly buy them credibility. That's not even entirely impossible, considering what ended up happening. Still, that seems a lot less likely if either rayn or Onegu was scum (likely).

at least my meta read on slam is still perfect


Did you go the trouble of counting Slam's serious posts in this game? Haha... Would be interesting to also research rayn's attitude to Slam in previous games. If there's a clear contradiction, I mean.

I think I'm probably wrong about a lot of things this game, so I'm planning on reevaluating everything this night.

A lot of the criticism of me is that I'm posting "mechanically" and not interacting with the thread much, and I think that's fair but not something that makes me mafia. I'm trying to put my thoughts in the thread in a clear way, which is probably what people see as mechanical. People have also just kind of ignored the things I post for a lot of this game, so it's a bit difficult to interact with the thread (for example, my whole post on Xatalos was totally ignored by everyone). Maybe that's just because the stuff I was posting was bad and I think that's probably true honestly so I'll try to make it less bad.


Well, sorry to say this, but your cases / big posts have been rather unremarkable so far. At least with both the ritoky case and the case on me, I don't think there was really anything noteworthy? Not really sure if you even believed so yourself, looking at how you just went along with the flow and didn't really push / develop either case through discussion?

I'll need to relook at you before my possible death though. In the meanwhile, it would be nice if you could post your reconsidered stuff. Preferably with the thought processes you had and considerations for meta / overall motivations, not just general scum traits applied to particular posts.

You loathe playing with me or playing as scum?

Honestly, the abuse I've given you is very limited. You've repeatedly insulted people in this game even while not performing well yourself. If you're town, I think it would be time to look in the mirror and reconsider stuff after the flip... Even more so if I end up dying tonight. If you're scum, feel free to go AFK as seems to be your scum meta.

Well, I'll admit that I've been unusually aggressive in this game. Not completely sure about the reason. Maybe I was irritated by some of the insults? Well, I will do my best to relook at things closer to the deadline and after the flip (if I manage to survive).

If you're town, I would like you to answer for a couple of things.

1) What do you think of rayn after all that happened? If you have the "ultimate secret to reading rayn", could you elaborate on that? It does nothing if it remains in your head.

2) More generally speaking, did you reconsider anything after Slam ended up flipping town? Mainly your stronger reads?

3) What would be your "last will" if you still somehow got killed tonight?

We will see about rayn though. If you want to convince me he's town, you should use your godly meta read on him to your advantage rather than some silly (invalid) point about his first posts.

All I can say is that if this is your current town playstyle, I won't be sad to see you go. Even less sad considering your scum playstyle in the last games.

But I hope you can change that if you're town.

Well, it'd be nice to get an answer to my main questions before the deadline still.

1) WHY is rayn town based on meta?

2) What would be your "last will" (lynchlist) after all this? I guess it's fine if you answer this one closer to deadline.

1) marv has a meta read on rayn, he isn't going to tell you it because it would tip his hand to rayn in future games and he prides himself on his meta read which to some degree requires rayn to not know exactly what it is and fake it (my read on slam and damdred is the same)

2) if marv is going to do this, he will do it near the deadline and without you on his nuts.

as a spokesperson for marv inc. i can verify he supports these messages.


I don't really approve of this. I think it's the same as playing bad on purpose to make your future scum games easier.

However, I can somewhat approve waiting until close to deadline for read posts. It's just that I'd like to be able to read them before I die... Or well, if I don't, then I'll have to reconsider some things.

From what I remember, marv does actually have some amazing scum games where he's played actively and fooled everyone until LYLO. We even talked about one such game in PMs a while ago. However, perhaps this is his current standard.

Heh...

The risk with sheeping is if you pick a bad player to sheep. I mean if he's scum / off his game. After being so wrong on D1, I don't think marv deserves unlimited trust.

I say that, but it's not actually easy to be correct on D1. I suppose we'll see if marv starts to improve. It's maybe more his confidence in Slam being scum for flimsy reasons that bothers me. From what I remember of his town game, he often hesitates and reconsiders things even up to the final moments of a lynch.

rayn wasn't getting lynched at that point anyway, so I think it was universally a good choice to hop on Onegu.

Even if he's town, he's done way less than Slam. And his towniness is all but certain.

Well, maybe my new signature is going too far. But I'll keep it for a bit.

marv, I truly do respect you as a player and think you're perhaps the best player on TL overall. At least one of the best. I hope you realize that my suspicions towards you have been a sign of respect, not disrespect. Don't you think it's more disrespectful to assume that you can't play at all as scum? That no matter what, you couldn't put some sort of effort into the game unless you're town? That no matter if you push mislynches and defend scum, you must be town if you even bother to make posts?

I still don't think you're scum right now, but I think it's actually too disrespectful to say that you're 100% town for your play so far. It would mean you're 100% incapable of actually playing as town, and I think that's too much of an assumption, even if you're burned out.

In addition, I think I was being reasonably polite in this game overall until you had repeatedly insulted me for several pages. If it was someone like rayn on the receiving end, I think he would have already snapped and got himself modkilled. Instead, I just got a little payback by insulting your Slam read (which I think was reasonably justified to do). If you're truly unable to continue playing if I show you a little respect by assuming you're not 100% incapable of playing as scum, and give you a rather meek payback for your insults, I don't think I'm the one at fault in that situation. Well, maybe a bit, but I'm not a saint either who can take abuse endlessly and never say anything.

I guess it all started with our disagreement over rayn. I assume you have some sort of a godly meta read on him that you don't want to share, but I can't just blindly sheep your enigmatic meta read if other things point at rayn being scum and even you YOURSELF aren't completely sure about rayn.

With that, I hope you can continue to play normally and possibly even show me a minimum level of consideration. Well, even just playing would be good.

If you're scum, you're of course free to start lurking.

GB cuz i have played a lot with him and he has no strong opinion on me, and actually i would say he seems to be actively avoiding talking about me; i feel he should have a stronger opinion. he is top disappointment atm.

if i were in magical vigi land i would probably shoot onegu cuz yolo free info.


This list isn't actually a bad one... Although I doubt rayn/GB could be scum together, but individually each one is plausible as scum.

All in all, ritoky might actually be my strongest townread right now. Followed by Vivax, I think. I'm also leaning towards gumshoe being town and BH still has townie factors.

What do you think about Chromatically/Onegu/Hopeless though, ritoky?

And yeah, no matter what, I don't think marv should be the lynch tomorrow. He has at least tried to play so far which is more than he had done in his last scumgames.

If I die tonight... Seriously consider my reads, even if you think I'm terrible. Because scum will probably kill the most threatening (=correct/convincing) player tonight unless they feel very secure to WIFOM around. I think there's a reasonable chance it's me, or it could be marv if he's town (just based on his fame). ritoky isn't impossible either. Inactive players hardly make sense as kills when there are no blues.

Meh... This is one thing I don't like too much about ritoky though. Just a moment earlier he said he didn't buy Slam being scum ("it doesn't come along").

Just before ritoky had also said that rayn's posts weren't worth reading and his reads were bullshit :/ So why sheep his read?

Hmmm... Well, it's still kind of unnecessary and risky to cause shenanigans at the deadline when things are already going as they want. Naturally it's not so bad if every candidate was town anyway, but again, I doubt it.

Chromatically... I'm undecided about right now. It kind of feels like he puts a constant effort into the game, and does stuff, but none of it's that impactful. I guess it's the fact that it's hard to see anything that couldn't be from scum, and that's always concerning combined with activity. Still, it's not like there's anything decisively scummy....

marv made some meta point against Chromatically that didn't really feel convincing... Hmm.

I guess it's wait and see. If I had to say, I guess I'd say he's scum (PoE / a bit too underwhelming considering the activity), but it's not strong enough to assert he has to be scum, and there's still the whole D2 to see from him.

Without a godly counter-reason from marv, I still think rayn has the highest chances of flipping scum. There are just too many things that don't make sense from town rayn.

1) Giving hard town reads with too much ease and certainty considering the thread content - mainly talking abut ritoky and GB here - which suggests TMI and the confidence that only scum would have with perfect information

2) Reverting said town reads and 100% scumreading those players based on the same filters he earlier used to call them town (sheeping thread sentiment) - this suggests he's not reading the thread and/or his views are decided by the flow of the votes rather than facts

3) Calling me 100% scum because of my vote on him, just like last time he was scum against me (it literally went into full OMGUS mode after he noticed it both here and there)

4) Constantly misrepresenting Slam's play as "trolling" when, in fact, Slam was extremely serious and insightful here compared to his usual self (just looking like an excuse for why the lynch wasn't bad when it actually was)

5) There's really nothing noteworthy or even passable in rayn's posts yet.. He pushed clear town Slam and clear town Xatalos for flimsy reasoning, and he hasn't really done anything since....

Much better should be expected from town rayn, and all this falls in line with his scum play.

It's not 100%, so don't just blindly lynch him, but I think it's the best option at the moment. That's my last will.

It still kind of worries me that marv has been so... non-transparent. If he's town, he has to know that his death is like at least a 50/50 chance (just based on his reputation). Yet he's been entirely uninterested to put forth anything after Slam flipped. Maybe he'll claim that my insults made him ragequit for tonight, and it's unfortunate if that's the case, but it's a bit hard to buy that it's all there is. Would he really just give up on the game (as town) if he's wrong D1 and blamed for it by me? It fits better with his scum meta of giving up easily and not really caring about the game. There's also the fact that he defended rayn for loltastic reasons and scumread Slam/Chromatically for loltastic reasons.

What I'm trying to say is, if I die, don't just sheep marv. I have a nagging bad feeling about him and it won't go away. Either he's really off or possibly even scum.

Hm. Well, I can't really call GB likely town other than his genuine-seeming attitude under pressure and the unflipped anti-association with rayn. Tbh that's enough for me to not lynch him right now, though...

Maybe I'm a bit blinded by the fact that GB has been one of the few people in the anti-rayn faction.

That's all dependent on if rayn first flips scum though.

I mean... I think the timing of GB's vote on rayn almost certainly rules out a GB-rayn scumteam. It made the situation 5-4, extremely close. At that point it was still hard to say if rayn was "safe" and it would be extremely, extremely risky for him to vote for scum rayn there.

I repeat: do not lynch GB tomorrow. Not unless rayn is town.

I quite disagree with Onegu's post. Enough that I kind of want to include him in a scumteam, and really regret we didn't manage to lynch him yesterday over Slam.

Like Onegu calls a lot of people scum for... basically just for voting for him or even just for suspecting him.

rayn/Onegu for scum.... Probably.

I hope ObsQT won't make me facepalm.

hmmmm

rayn, I'm a bit on the fence if you would kill marv after he was pretty pro-you during D1. I mean, it generally makes sense regardless of the scumteam thanks to his status, but you wouldn't be the most likely suspect for going for his kill.

Let's play a game. Who do you think are scum right now, and how have your reads changed after Slam's flip and the posts of the night?

Meh.... Seeing as marv's defense of rayn was genuine, there *could* be something there since he didn't really reveal his reasoning besides the bad initial reason.

Though he did say that he wasn't sure about rayn anymore.

Life is hard.

How I wish marv would have played during N1.

Why do you even bother posting if you're not going to say anything productive?

Not that you have said much of anything productive up to now, and nothing productive at all after Slam flipped.

I really don't get it. Do have some people have such fragile egos that they can only resort to insulting other people recklessly, then when they're under a bit of scrutiny they just stop playing completely? This is Mafia, not kindergarten. If only you (rayn/marv) had reacted reasonably to the bit of pressure you had, all of this drama could have been avoided.

Or do I have to automatically assume you two are town and never question your opinions if I want to keep you playing...

Looks like rayn will continue to be useless then...

It kind of feels like he wouldn't abandon his team like that as scum...

But would he count on others to think like that... WIFOM....

Well, at least last time as scum he continued spewing BS no matter what happened....

Are there cases of rayn just stopping to play as scum?

Though it feels a bit cheap if he could be cleared like that.

Well, I'd kind of like other players' input as well.

Frankly Vivax and BH have felt like they've kind of disappeared from the face of the planet after the earlier part of D1.

What are you thinking now?

Frankly even Chromatically might overtake you as a townread if this keeps up. During the night, it was mostly just me, ritoky and Chromatically doing stuff.

Maybe I'll take a break from TL Mafia after this for a while...

There's a bit too much drama for some reason. The Vendetta Strada games were all very enjoyable, and Diplomacy games are generally very enjoyable too, but they were full of drama and rage in the TL Diplomacy games. At least the later ones, the first ones were fine.

Why does it have to go into issues of personality and ad hominem.

In no way at all should it get him a town read.


It's not a major part of why I townread him anyway. And still... Your post is assuming that A) you're town (I guess that's understandable from your point of view, if you're town, but not objectively) and that B) ritoky was certain the shenanigans wouldn't cause the lynch to switch into any unfavorable direction when Slam was already being lynched. I've certainly seen very fast shenanigans lynches in the last minutes before. Why bother? It was all set for scum already.

to be fair you instigated a lot of it yourself or if you don't want to talk that level of culpability you harbored a portion of it yourself. mafia is a game of people who wanna have big dicks, egos get bruised every game and if they aren't being bruised than tbh ppl aren't playing hard enough.

but then there are anomalies like me who understand their penis is small and have adjusted their life accordingly.


Maybe so... But I certainly didn't start the personal insults and I don't think I ever even said anything... IRL-related. The worst I said was, I think, that marv's current level of scum play is sad.

Meanwhile I was called "a horrible human being", "a terrible player", "idiot", "stupid", "horrible", "undeserving to play this game", "I loathe you" and many other similar things.

I think things should be kept game-related. Calling someone suspicious for something they did, in-game, shouldn't translate to things outside of the game.

Maybe I'll just have to assume they're town from now on. I'm just quite hesitant to do that when my high town read, Little Lamb, turned out to be scum after all in a recent game.

Are you really sure it's so similar? In that game, he seemed to reflect on his own play / make reasonable posts even when he was pissed off. He was focused on figuring out the scumteam and convincing other people of that even while going down.

Here that "we would never see him post again if he was scum" seems to hit much closer to the truth.....?

I can't really understand how Onegu could have come to the conclusion that rayn is town from his description. He said that scum rayn would just stop trying when he became pissed and try to replace or something. He's probably been trying to get replaced here, and he at least hasn't been trying. As town in that game, his actions were pro-town up to his death. (well, at least considerably more pro-town than here - explaining his reads and talking about them)

This leads me to the conclusion that rayn&Onegu are probably scum...

Anyways.

ritoky: I'll wait to see what Chromatically has on GlowingBear. As of right now, I'm very reluctant to lynch him because it's very unlikely for him to go at scum rayn when he did as scum.

I've already forgotten about Hopeless and yamato. Have they even done anything after the start? The last scum could well be among them.

I'm a bit interested in BH's attitude towards rayn (and disappearance from the thread) as well.

Well yamato's filter was disappointing. Even so, I've seen him be a lurker once before as town, so it's hard to confirm him scum based on that... But he's definitely in the PoE.

Dunno about Hopeless.... Somehow he seems happy / relaxed in his posts? Is this indicative of town Hopeless? Even if he's unremarkable.

Btw ritoky, I don't think BH was ever seriously after rayn... At least that's what he said. I have a lingering doubt that BH could have randomed his teammate (rayn), then went with it for a while and dropped it whenever he could... But that's kind of tinfoily already. Mostly that thought came to me when BH unvoted rayn so suddenly, when the wagon was starting to actually feel threatening for rayn, even though he had nothing better in mind either.

Meeeh... But I really like how BH tried to divert the lynch from Slam to Onegu. He seemed enthusiastic about it too, when as scum he should have been already content with Slam. And if he actually was scum with rayn (as the tinfoil theory suggested) then it would make little to no sense to derail the rayn counter-wagon, endangering rayn.

BH is probably just town after all?

I mean... he would have had to 1) mess up a perfectly nice situation for scum 2) endanger rayn, the proposed teammate 3) divert it from town Slam to (scum with rayn?) Onegu.

It makes no sense.

So BH is town?

Well, this is going into association territory again.

like i said, thinking about something that is dependent on rayn = mafia is pointless until rayn flips.


Heh, I guess so. But I'm like 97% confident on rayn being scum atm.

Funnily enough, Onegu's defense only reinforced my read. Onegu's description of rayn's scum meta fits his play here well and he's playing not at all like in BTTB as town.

I am being serious here;

I don't want to play when the goes like this:
Xata: "rayn is mafia because X and Y"
rayn: "no, here is explanation for X and Y"
Xata: "hmm okay"
.......
Xata: "rayn is mafia because X and Y"
rayn: "....... dude wtf? if you call me scum call me scum for how my explanation doesn't make sense"
marv: "yeah, rayn is town. Xatalos you're being an idiot"
Xata: "hmm okay"
......
Xata: "rayn is scum for X and Y, also marv is scum"
rayn: "marv is never scum"
marv: "yeah that's quite clear, wtf are you doing Xatalos?"
....
Xata: "hmm rayn is scum for X and Y"

that went on for like 40 pages.
if you can't understand what's wrong here that then you have to be mafia.
so, you are either mafia or effectively throwing the game. so am i, if you are town, but idc.
i literally don't care anymore.

so you can lynch me, i don't care. I am not posting anymore.
But jsut that you know, if you happen to somehow be town here, sometimes you SHOULD listen to people who know better...


Well, that's not exactly how it went. Even marv got less and less confident in you being town. At some point during D1 he said that I "might be right" and after Slam flipped he stopped townreading you altogether.

I also got additional reasons to scumread you as time passed, it expanded greatly from the initial suspicion of your weird read progression.

I'll admit that suspecting marv was too paranoid.

I actually kind of like the GB case.

Makes me sad the lynch wasn't between rayn and GB yesterday.

Not sad if the lynch is between rayn/Onegu/GB today.

I think we are getting way way too tinfoily here. I agree with ritoky that doing anything assuming rayn is mafia is silly at this point until rayn flips.

Which, I am not very inclined to do now that marv is confirmed town. I'll trust that marv (and probably Onegu) can read rayn better than I can, at least until later in the game when we can talk about whether marv was wrong on rayn if we have to.


To be fair marv stopped townreading rayn after Slam flipped, even if he wasn't ready to scumread him either.

that's all.


Meaning rayn's basically null / possible town for him, not a strong town lean at the least. That means his top secret meta thing doesn't apply anymore to rayn, at least. And... he basically stopped playing at that point, so who knows if he would have come around to scumread rayn later.

I'm referring to his final post "I have no strong townreads, maybe Vivax still". rayn isn't even a "maybe" strong townread. Implying that whatever he uses for townreading rayn, doesn't really apply at that point.

And for the record, I'm still more correct about the game than either rayn or marv until otherwise proven. I was right about Slam, they were wrong. We all thought marv was a decently likely NK hit (although rayn was certain and I kept myself being shot as a reasonable option). Still leaves me more on the side of correct overall.

But that's not really relevant is it....

Interestingly enough, you stopped responding to me when I had shown that your meta argument pointed to rayn being scum. You still made other posts.

Sometime after, rayn miraculously returned to playing (as if being forced by you), and you came back to say "look, I was right!". This is also enough time to force him to say something in the scumQT.

Coincidence?

In any case, Onegu is looking worse every minute. Now I'm truly sad that he got away D1.

For a small moment I thought Onegu might be on to something, but he immediately contradicted himself (he said rayn was playing to his town meta, while proving that rayn was NOT playing to his town meta - by saying that scum rayn would just give up, which rayn did here, but somehow Onegu came to the conclusion that rayn was town - WTF?????).

Then sometime afterwards, rayn came back to talk a bit..... Now Onegu takes this as a proof that his argument earlier was right, when AT THAT TIME rayn had practically given up and started trolling for a long time. How could Onegu ever come to the conclusion that scum rayn gives up if pissed -> scum rayn gave up here -> rayn is town. WTF???

It doesn't help at all if rayn posted some sort of real posts in response to that later on. What matters is what happened before it. There Onegu had no way to come to the conclusions he did, from the arguments he made.

Hm yes.... Vivax, I actually agree with you on everything you said in those posts. Vivax/ritoky/gumshoe are town, and Chromatically is almost there, but there's this nagging suspicion left. Hopeless could also be town, not sure why, but I felt his posts were very relaxed... But they were still useless, so he's more of null. Hm. BH I still think is more likely town, but it's dropped quite a bit since he's been pretty inactive after the RNG-stuff.

Vivax: do you think rayn and GB are doing some sort of long-term double bus plan? That sparked my interest. It's a bit hard to believe because they both actually seemed content with lynching each other at points during D1... And from what I gather, they still want to lynch each other even now.

However, it could be interesting to have votes focused on rayn/GB today. If they would indeed both be scum, it should show in how the day plays out in that case. Let's make that happen if possible.

Chromatically: I am considering that GB could be scum even with the anti-association to rayn (although that might not be as strong as I thought?). It's just that rayn/Onegu seem to fit well as scum together, and both have extremely much dropped in their performance going into D2. Both are also voting for me... Even though I'd say I'm objectively at the highest level of obv-towniness on meta alone. Similar, or more compared to Vivax.

I'd say the scumteam is rayn+Onegu+Yamato/GB (with MAYBE Hopeless/Chromatically/BH in there).

Which makes me sad, because both rayn and Onegu were up for lynch right until the end on D1.

Hmmm.... When did he say that? But I guess it has to be during D1. I agree that marv was being useless, but it's indeed weird how he 100% assumes marv is town. Like, there isn't even a shred of doubt despite his criticism for marv's play... It kind of sounds like lecturing town marv - while knowing that marv is town anyway.

I don't think some excuse like "RNG sheeping" ultimately matters. What matters is that you voted for someone who you thought was 90% town over someone you had no idea about, according to your own words.

Though that does make me question the rayn/Onegu scumteam, it also makes me question if you could ever think like that as town. The answer is no.

I mean, it's OK to push for RNG stuff like BH did at the start. It can gather reactions etc. But you voted for your TOWNREAD over your NULLREAD when the vote was in an UNCERTAIN result (meaning your vote could matter) and your only reason was "RNG". I don't buy it.

Regardless of anyone else's alignment, that's just scummy as hell.

Ok... And then you are wrong as I have done the RNG sheep multiple times as town.


Do you actually RNG something? Isn't it just sheeping? You didn't even show any RNG like BH did. The fact remains that you sheeped on your townread.....

I didn't even push marv. I just said not to 100% trust him after his sorry performance and incorrect reads on D1. I briefly included him in a "dream scumteam" of mine, but removed him again soon after. Never did I say to lynch him at all.

It'll remain to be seen if rayn is scum or town. Even if you think he's town, you still voted for him, which makes the persuasiveness of your posts fall to the bottom.

I'll admit you did that before. But doing something scummy as town doesn't really absolve you if you do it again. It's still scummy, just perhaps POSSIBLE for you to do it as town. Though it would make even more sense to it as scum if you can prove you've done it as town before...

You're still on about that? I thought you dropped it at some point to pursue rayn or something. Well, maybe you didn't, but you should.

Because nobody else will vote for Vivax and your vote will be wasted.

It's kind of sad that my filter is like 30-40% of the game or something.

Maybe I spam too much but still.

It'd be nice if there would be more activity.

Meh, I guess your rayn push was kind of dependent on Vivax being scum as well.

Could you explain why you still think Vivax is the most likely scum? He's been decently active, contributing positively whenever he's posted, and as scum he really just actively lurks without participating in any concrete way.

Right click the timestamp and copy the link address / destination. Also, your earlier depiction of me being active during the first part of D1 and not during the second part of D1 is pretty hilariously bad given that I didn't really start playing until the last 12 hours of D1, and like 90% of my contributions happened then. Get on point boy


If you're hanging around, could you play now as well >.> It's getting too apathetic and scum may be just hiding among the lurking in the worst case.

If your playstyle is on-demand, then here are some demands:

1) What are your scumreads right now?

2) Do you still townread rayn and why? Did RNG fail you?

3) What do you make of the flips of Slam and marv?

I'm actually not 97% confident anymore as I was, but there are still many reasons to scumread him as I've detailed. Let me ask you this: was he genuinely angry? When I looked at BTTB where he was frustrated that he was being voted, he still did his best to establish his reads in the thread and tried to convince people to lynch the scumteam after he was gone. He was angry, but he wasn't useless. Here he just... went to play Heroes when he was up for lynch, threw his vote around on me (obvious town) and Slam (likely town), without really caring about who would be lynched if it wasn't himself. There was no passion, drive or interested towards the lynch really. Completely unlike his attitude to the lynch as town in that game that was referenced.

Then he proceeded to blame everything on Slam for "trolling", when in fact Slam was exceptionally serious and useful in this game (compared to rayn himself, for example - and certainly above Slam's own usual seriousness). It just felt like an excuse, or shift of blame, to avoid any responsibility when it was just a bad lynch.

Note: marv was sad and disappointed in himself after the lynch, whereas rayn just blamed Slam with faulty reasoning. What's more, he never included "trolling" as a reason for lynching Slam beforehand. Why was it the reason afterwards?

Originally the reason was merely a combination of PoE and OMGUS. And sheeping.

Onegu is not really a bad lynch either. He's just made some incomprehensible accusations and arguments today and dug his own grave. I'd still like to get rayn out of the way before looking at the other suspects, as they're all dependent on rayn's alignment in one way or another.

Hm. Well, I guess we fundamentally came to the same conclusion (that town rayn anger should have been directed towards *something* productive, but here he just did nothing with it but spam and lurk.... not even naming any reads..). I guess it's fair to say that his initial reaction to Slam flipping town *could* have come from town. But I don't think his attitude up to the lynch and his attitude during N1/D2 are town at all.

I'm not sure if I'm capable of reading Slam that well either. It's just that there was such a HUGE difference to his last scumgame (in a more productive / useful direction here - in that game he just trolled) that it was hard to imagine this much difference between scum Slam games. If it had been the case, I would have been surprised.

There's just something odd with how the votes went... Both GB and Onegu voted for rayn in a situation where his safety was still uncertain. Does this mean they're not scum with rayn? Perhaps. Or perhaps it's some WIFOM semi-bus plan. For now, though, I'd just like votes on rayn and perhaps Onegu/GB. Better to have multiple wagons than just one, especially until close to the deadline.

Hmmmm.....

I think I saw rayn explode as scum once though, and he was Vig shot N1 as scum. marv was his teammate and gave up after that. I think rayn was trying to emulate his EMO town meta there, so it's possible the same is happening here... Then again, I agree that antagonizing the host isn't really a reasonable scum play in any form (not reasonable as either alignment, but less so as scum when you're responsible to your team).

I'd basically like to shoot these people right now if I had a gun....

- GB: completely static scumread on Vivax that's not affected by anything happening in the thread, and I actually noticed that marv disproved his reasoning during D1 (by showing that Vivax had made overly confident reads before) but that didn't affect anything... it just does indeed feel like he picked someone to scumread and continued calling him scum no matter what... + overall low effort and disinterest towards anything happening in the game... some of the nice posts he's made can't really absolve him at this point

- yamato: playing according to his scum meta (inactive, disinterested) - there's one town game where he was inactive as well, but mostly he's been relatively active and a good asset as town, there's nothing like that to be seen here....

- Onegu: gave a high townread for rayn, voted for him over his nullread at deadline when the lynch was still completely undecided.... just this alone I think is impossible for town, he did make an "RNG sheep" vote in a previous game but I just can't accept he would choose to vote for his (supposed) highest townread based on some meta-joke... it just shows that he has zero interest towards solving the game or doing anything... and he has refused to answer several questions from different players that probed into his nonsensical arguments over the game

- rayn: disinterested towards the lynch result of D1 (basically sheeping/OMGUSing away to whatever he could), then just started spamming/lurking and caring even less about scumhunting than before

So yeah, I'm basically content if any of these players ends up getting lynched right now.... It looks like we still have 3 mislynches even, so I doubt we can lose if we start by cleaning up this pile of scummy.

Yeah I agree, yamato needs to go. Unfortunately we only have one lynch so I'm reconsidering where we should start... Maybe it's not rayn after all. It's true that his spam and host antagonizing comes more likely from town (if he feels any sympathy for his teammates not to get modkilled). Kind of a lame argument, but I guess it's noteworthy.

I'd perhaps say that it should be Onegu...... Hm. rayn and GB both have something in their favor at least, and yamato does have one game where he's been equally inactive/disinterested as town.

marv never disproved anything, marv disagreed with me, which is different.

And my read on Vivax progressed as he came back to the thread. It's all in my filter.

And no, I'm not mafia.


Have you ever considered him to be town after the first minute...? I guess you did offer alternative lynches at times, like rayn.

I'd really like to hear your overall reads right now.

Let me ask you something, Xatalos.

Will a tunneled townie forget about his scumread one day later?

Because Vivax called Yamato scum for being inactive (in less than 24 hours in the game). When yamato turned against me, Vivax gave him a very weird townread (it felt like a joke, Vivax said it was an actual townread).

Yamato is inactive now. Vivax never talks about him anymore. He only supports my lynch when people talk about it.

I can never see a world where Vivax isn't scum here. Never.

Especially now that yamato's inactivity IS indeed scummy, and he is doing nothing, and NOW he's fitting his scum meta.


Tbh Vivax did suggest yamato as a lynch today.

After some consideration, I revoted for Onegu. Read this again:

- Onegu: gave a high townread for rayn, voted for him over his nullread at deadline when the lynch was still completely undecided.... just this alone I think is impossible for town, he did make an "RNG sheep" vote in a previous game but I just can't accept he would choose to vote for his (supposed) highest townread based on some meta-joke... it just shows that he has zero interest towards solving the game or doing anything... and he has refused to answer several questions from different players that probed into his nonsensical arguments over the game

He simply doesn't care about catching scum, at all. And he's contradicting his own reads and offering messed up arguments that he can't answer for when probed.

LYNCH ONEGU!

I think I'd like to give rayn and GB another day, perhaps.

yamato seems like a fine lynch too.

Yes, I've tried to read him coming from a townie perspective. He could be town? Yes, but I'm fairly certain he isn't.

I have you as town for filter length and activity, you seem to care about the game which is the towniest trait one can have right now.

I have chromatically as town, still. I find hard to believe any scum would put so much effort into writing a scum case on you and me, reading filters and shit.

I think Rayn can be mafia but his rage quit is giving me pause. Nonetheless, his flip on me + slam's read on him all points out to him being mafia. I don't trust his rage on slam very much because, well, he knows how slam plays and slam was actually being productive - but productive against Rayn.

I am very suspicious of Onegu. I will always think he is a good lynch.

Hopeless has some townie posts but some of them are too similar to Avogadro's mini mafia.

I think gumshoe might be town just because he is defending me. I can't see mafia motivation behind defending me.

Now that yamato is extremely unproductive I can see him being scum. As I said, yamato is one of the players that we can have better reads on later days. And here we are.

I don't know what to do with BH. Some of his posts seems very townie, others seems like fluff. I particularly dislike his "eternal dining" posts. On the other hand, I think the has being thinking about the game critically, so he is probably town.

I don't know if I forgot someone.



Hm... ritoky? In any case, seems decent enough.

I definitely don't disagree with anything you've said here and I am in favor of an Onegu lynch. Sadly, "not caring about catching scum" doesn't only apply to him this game, it easily applies to GB, Hopeless, yamato at least. The one point "in favor" of him compared to GB in my opinion is that he usually (to my knowledge, haven't checked very much) plays like this, with extreme low effort.

There's still some time in the day though so we can see what happens, it's possible I decide that Onegu is a better lynch later depending on how things go. Having GB and Onegu as the wagons is excellent though.


Hm, I think Onegu/yamato seems better.... I think there's actually a chance GB is town...

Like, I went to GB's filter thinking "let's see if there's anything scummy I missed", came out of it thinking "there are scummy traits and then bits and pieces of towny moments". Scum? Could well be. Town? It's possible as well. I don't think it's a sure case. Onegu/yamato seem safer, and I'd perhaps put even rayn above GB....

Hm... Well I'm not really opposed to consolidating on yamato. Right now I just think there's slightly more reason to lynch Onegu since he's done so many things unexplainable as town.

I've seen town yamato be a lurker once before. Then he really just didn't post much at all... Here he's posted a bit more, but there's really nothing noteworthy, so I think it's a bit worse. And he does have very good town games as well (the majority I'd think).

Hmm. I think the meta points are much stronger than any bits of lightly town moments that can be found in his filter. Honestly after playing as mafia in a few games I feel like making posts that sound vaguely townie as mafia isn't that hard. I guess that depends on what kind of stuff specifically you're talking about though.


Mainly referring to his meta defense of me, genuine-feeling rant about being voted for and going after rayn instead of Slam in that situation.... I guess none of those are really impossible from scum, it's just that each thing felt more likely to come from town.

LOL that quote was originally about GB and Onegu. Thanks for helping my case

And is it actually true that "people expect things of yamato"? I was under the impression that he's been mislynched a fair few times for lurking/doing nothing as town too.


I know XD I blurred out GB's name. Yamato is a very experienced player, even when lurking you can see his usefulness. Theres none of that this game, all his actions have been a detriment to town. Onegu is a shit poster troll with a place in callers pantheon. Theres really no comparison between them.

Also do you really think Gb is scum with Yamato? If not (which is what you should think, cause thinking otherwise would be derp) then just vote Yamato, he is far sketchier then Gb XD and if he flips scum you can easily rule out Gb as a suspect. This lynch is basically as good as lynching Gb, except we get to keep Gb and lynch scum : D


haha.... Take an upvote for the funny post

I keep wondering if this is really the same gumshoe I played with in a couple of games before. I don't think I've ever seen you even make a single good post before, and this game is filled with good posts from you.

I'm almost ready to quit Mafia if gumshoe is scum in this game. That's how surprised I'd be.

I'll leave my vote on Onegu for now, but if it comes down to it, I'll join the yamato wagon.

I love calling people town for good reasons as mafia lol, it makes me feel honest because I don't have to lie to everyone about what I think for once. Rant thing, okay. What do you mean by going after rayn instead of Slam? This post where he votes rayn?

Ah yeah, I mean, he went directly against rayn (who was losing steam and a tougher opponent than Slam) instead of just voting for Slam or going AFK or something. In the worst case, that could have led to him being lynched... If marv jumped on that vote switch etc.

In appreciation of gumshoe's unbelievable amount of effort and good points (compared to what I expected from him especially), have my vote for today.

I doubt yamato will flip town and it's especially interesting to note that yeah, yamato/GB hardly makes sense... Meaning that lynching one of them would make sense here, and I think yamato is the better choice.

I think you're talking about when him and rayn were kind of yelling at each other? Like he could have voted for Slam or gone AFK at that point, but doing that makes him look uninterested in the lynch/doesn't give him something to post about. Whereas if he just argues with rayn for a little bit, he looks active and opinionated just for yelling at rayn for reading him wrong.


Oh yeah this... Well anything is possible, and maybe I'm a bit biased since he was one of the few to support me in that situation, but... I just think it's a bit risky to do anything "splashy" when he was still in danger zone himself. Safer to stay low, I guess?

I think there's merit in your meta arguments and the way how GB has pretty much just scumread Vivax all game for weak reasons, but I still don't think GB is the primary suspect today.

If we consider things on a purely individual basis, I think Onegu might be our best shot today. But Yamato is only very slightly behind, and lynching him has a good chance of resolving GB as well. Also, I can't really be bothered to push Onegu when it would only distract from the Yamato wagon and waste gumshoe's efforts that way... Plus like some prolly have said, meta points to Yamato being scum more so than for Onegu, even if Onegu's actions themselves are scummier.

To be fair he did reason his switch, and it could have been plausibly justified... Using that logic, you're again all the more suspicious for your various switches during D1 that mostly made sense for scum pushing mislynches. Onegu's vote for you was also far, far worse than GB's, yet it doesn't matter?

I don't think rayn would be a bad lynch today. It's just that I'm not as certain as I was when the day started, and I'm fine even if he's not the first one to go. Better to consolidate with those I think are town rather than cause too many wagons and give more control for the scumteam.

I have a harder time believing these latest posts are from town rayn though. Just throwing suspicion and flame around, not even trying to figure out the game in any reasonable way.

What I'm confused about is the rayn-GB relation. It's kind of hard to believe they're scum together.... But then why isn't rayn really pushing for GB, the easiest option, and instead voting for people like Slam and me? To lessen the anti-association? Because they're teammates after all? Meh. That can be resolved after this lynch, I think.

As far as I'm concerned, the most useless troll in this game is definitely not Slam. Onegu and rayn have surpassed him from the start and entered into new spheres of useless trolling during D2. Far more useless than Slam's usual play, and infinitely more useless than Slam's surprisingly good play in this game.

I really hope neither of them are town.

It summarizes the essence of your play in this game

Still not quite sure what you're even doing today. Don't you have anything to say abou the main issue at hand, Yamato vs GB? I'm STILL the best possible lynch...?

Because your vote on me is just wasted. The current you has zero persuasive power. Kind of reminds me of your last scumgame where you tried to desperately make people vote for me, but even your teammates didn't dare to. Meanwhile I got the majority on you. Funny isn't it? I almost managed the same here on D1, but unfortunately marv didn't want to lynch you yet, so it can't be helped.

But your turn will come, fear not. If you kill me tonight, it'll just be the final nail in your coffin. If not, it won't help you either.

Well, currently you still have time to prove yourself on the off-chance you're town, so use it wisely.

If he's town, he's a lot more shitty than what I read of BTTB. And he promised to never play as badly as town once that game ended.

This is my problem with you Xata. You pick something scummy out. Then it is shown to you the people doing it have done the same thing as town, and your response is they are more scum for it.


Again: in your case I could somehow accept your meta defense, making it slightly less scummy how you handled the lynch, but it's still scummy as hell. In rayn's case your point went something like "scum rayn would just stop trying", which he did here. In BTTB he was seriously contributing until he died.

Your top scumread is me, obvious town (though apparently it's out of spite rather than scumminess.. even worse if so). You townread Yamato and Onegu, useless lurkers who usually get at least something done with their posts as town (Yamato) or who contradict their own reads and make no sense with their posts (Onegu).

I doubt my reads can be any worse.

Doesn't this mean that Onegu is the better lynch?

Also is anyone (other than gumshoe) voting yamato for reasons other than just lurking?


Hmm... Maybe slightly. But I'm content with yamato since as town, he's usually considerably more active and invested than this. There was one game I played where he was lurking as town, but at least he posted some valuable posts when he was there. Here... pretty much nothing. Just playing CS/Dota and totally unmotivated. Fits his scum style - starting weak and then dropping off the thread.

I'm talking about in this post specifically. What were you referring to in that conversation that made "zero sense here" and made you want to vote him?



I dont remember exactly...

I didnt and dont like his push on rayn. I pointed out why rayn was town and he said that what i said pointed to rayn being mafia not town and it didnt.

Here's the page before that post for others: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/496215-mini-mafia-the-kinda-vanilla-experience?page=83

Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But it felt very very out of place to say "Xata is making zero sense here." when Xatalos hadn't said anything about the meta on rayn for a page or two since you last posted. It felt like you wanted to put a vote on Xatalos and just threw some justification about how you didn't like what he was saying without really checking if it made sense with what he was saying in the thread at that time.

Someone else read it and tell me if I'm thinking too much into it.

and i am mad at myself because i cant actually scumread you.


Well that's progress....

As someone said, it's practically impossible to be 100% correct with a huge filter like this. Since I'm town, I don't have perfect information. You might have that information as scum and laugh at some mistakes I've made (like the momentary lapse of including marv in a potential scumteam), but your other reads have been simple bullshit (read on me - false, read on Slam - false, reads on yamato/Onegu - most likely false). Dunno about GB, but you at least haven't convinced anyone on him with your own posts. So if you're scum, I guess I can understand saying these things, but if you're town, it's just unbelievable arrogance and overestimation of your own contributions.

im basically never going to vote for Xata or Rayn (maybe rayn in lylo) they're my top town. Loving gumshoe's and BH's recent posting, like chromatically as well. Kind of null about GB, I'd vote him but more on a PoE basis. Honestly dont remember much of VivaxThink there is some good effort to keep things on track from Vivax, though it was pissed away to tell rayn to fuck off basically. Onegu still feels like he's "testing" me so I'm going to let him be for the time being but I really want to OMGUS him. Association to yamato looks shitty too, and yamato has been about as useful as I have this game, except I'm expected to be trash and he's not.

##Vote: Yamato77

also you guys voting rayn while thinking hes town....you're as bad as him for doing that.


Hm yeah... I think yamato is a bit safer of a choice. It's somehow possible that rayn could just have went to a deep tunnel and never got out of it.

ofc you are.


You're trying to prove a point. The point is that the slam playstyle is annoying and useless.

But the point you proved is that slam is fun to play with and you're not, regardless if you're trolling or actually playing. Because nowadays when you're actually playing you're beig bad and when you're trolling you can't get a laugh out of anything you post.

You just proved to be a cry baby. Grow up.

What do you think of Hopeless supporting my Yam lynch? Could it be a bus? I'll be honest, out of the three prime lurkers this game (hopeless, yam, onegu) I think hopeless is most likely to be an actual townie lurker. But yeah I'll look at his super short filter again -_- maybe I missed something


I don't really have Hopeless on my scum radar atm, so I don't mind the support. If he's scum, I doubt he has the power to do much anyway so he could have just decided to bus at this point.

Well a part of me just wants to put rayn out of his misery, but I think yamato/Onegu offer higher chances of hitting scum... And maybe it would be more deserved for rayn to suffer more with this game... But then again, it offers suffering to everyone else though.... Decisions :/

Btw I think ritoky just said that nothing you said had value in general, regardless of your alignment. He also said that it was an opinion formed during several games.

Well it's quite possible he may just be scum this game. In fact I'm leaning in that direction right now. He can be great as town.

In all seriousness, WTF is that latest case by rayn? I don't get it. GB didn't even quote then in the wrong order. First he quotes your switch post, then says "it's a huge shift from this" where is your earlier full townread of him based on the same filter.

Chromatically: Hm.... I guess, but it's not implausible for town GB to only start thinking about the switch and how it happened a bit later on. I think what rayn did was worse. I mean... he basically gave a full townread for GB, then suddenly started scumreading him for the same posts when the wind shifted.

I think the yamato wagon is also pretty promising. If yamato was town, the scum should have jumped on him at this point. The only questionable wagoner is Hopeless, but I think he can well be town as well. As a sidenote, rayn defending yamato also makes me feel good. That means it's probably correct, regardless of rayn's alignment.

Tbh I think gumshoe is objectively more obviously town than me at this point. If you go after him, you're just proving again that your reads make no sense...

Even if he was scum, I'd gladly hand the victory over to him. Rather than share victory with you if you happen to be town.

I doubt yamato will flip town though, so that should at the latest clear gumshoe anyway. And GB probably as well.

Yeah, I guess it was a bit exaggerated to call rayn 97% scum... I still think he's more likely scum than town, but the chances of him being town have improved a bit after I considered that anger at Slam / attacking the hosts / exploding in general could be coming from town rayn... Even if it's still really bad, it's not necessarily scummy to do those things.

I laugh every time you describe Chromatically's playstyle as "having a stick up his ass" :D I guess I can see where you're coming from (his like laser-focus on specific things), but.. lol

The yamato wagon is feeling better and better. Basically I feel like everyone in it could easily be town.

If yamato is scum and GB town, I guess it does make Chromatically look a bit worse... But I still wouldn't say he's a primary lynch candidate really.

I think Hopeless is more likely town than yamato.... Because Hopeless is pretty much null and yamato is more likely scum than town... But I'm starting to wonder if yamato will just get modkilled anyway :/ Though it feels like he's still following the thread to some extent so I wouldn't be surprised if he pops in to vote at the last minute.

Ugh, as awful as it is to admit, this is a valid objection. right now we have a "lynch yam cause he's lurking" coalition of 5 people, and one of those is hopeless1. So if we lynch Hopeless1 and he flips town, and then one of us is shot, Yam goes free. Jesus christ this is a clusterfuck


Yeah that'd be a nasty situation >.> And makes it all the more likely for yamato to be scum since there's only barely enough support to get him lynched, whereas usually town get lynched more easily (like Slam did).

I think it might be too risky after all... Considering yamato could just vote like 10 seconds before the deadline and we'd be screwed then.

Tbh I think Onegu would make sense. He has at least equal chances as yamato to flip scum. There's also a decent chance that yamato will get killed by himself. If he ninjavotes, we can still un-shenanigans....

I could go for Onegu and maybe Hopeless, but I think GB is kind of counter-intuitive when there's so much anti-association between GB and yamato?

Well I don't think it matters too much since we'd be getting two lynches anyway (same as if we just waited the another day)... But I guess there's the fact that the longer the game goes, the more information we get, and there's always a risk of yamato ninjaing

I guess so though his scum meta is to be extremely unmotivated, so it wouldn't surprise me totally even if he managed to get modkilled as scum... But probably he'd be town if he got modkilled yeah.

Kind of... although there's also the point that scum can kill off the most useful townies, but I think the information over time could still outweigh that

Because yamato flipping scum would have made it unlikely for GB to be scum, and yamato could have ninjavoted at the last moment.

Tbh I really dislike rayn's extreme stances like "marv is getting shot tonight", "yamato is town"... I mean, he was right, but he was completely certain about things only scum would be.... If you get what I mean. As town there should be a slight doubt at least.

Well it didn't work, but there was a good chance it could have. At least an obstacle is out of the way. This also means that GB is more likely scum than before which is useful information.

Yeah yamato's flip was slightly demotivating... More so than the abuse from marv/rayn even... In hindsight, I guess it's not so clear to distinguish between his lack of motivation for playing as scum and sometimes lack of motivation to play overall... But it was a bet with decent chances so it's not that bad....

gumshoe: You're basically my top town at this point, and I see you heavily townread rayn, even more so than you townread me..? I'd like to see what you're seeing.. As for me, I think its ridiculous for him to accuse people of not jumping on GB at the end, when he himself was heavily SCUMREADING GB, heavily TOWNREADING Yamato and yet didn't bother to hammer GB. His vote would have made the votecount even, enabling Yamato or someone not voting for Yamato to vote for GB and give him the lead... But he was content just spamming "Yamato is town, haha, suckers please lynch him!". This would make sense if he's scum with GB OR if GB is town and rayn just wants to keep him as a mislynch push or something... What's more, not sure what's up with that, but he said "good night", then came back close to deadline when things were heated - makes me think he was just hanging in scumQT until then. And ultimately I'm not sure if the host attack thing is so good for him... He's generally trigger-happy and his comment to the host wasn't even that offensive, so it's not unbelievable for scum rayn to say it. Maybe thinking that Rels wouldn't have the balls to modkill him as scum for it.

I also think BH and Vivax are town... And probably Chromatically. Mainly based on how interested they seemed towards the D2 lynch and solving the situation. ritoky has fallen off a bit, and Onegu and Hopeless are still doing nothing to help. GB.... I really don't know. I want to think he's town because he agrees with my reads and townreads me with the best possible reasoning. It's just that his play has kind of lacked drive and him flipping scum would basically clear Chromatically, and probably ritoky/rayn? It's not the worst lynch, I guess. I still feel like rayn/Onegu would be better for their practically unthinkable behaviors towards the lynches (for town, making a lot of sense for scum..).

On the other hand, I think it's hard to see a fitting scumteam for GB... He basically can't be scum with BH or Chromatically (both have tried pretty damn hard to get him lynched at some point).... Hardly with ritoky (ritoky jumped on him immediately D1 and voted for him again D2).. GB preferred lynching Onegu/Hopeless today so they're not the best fits... Although he didn't really push hard for them... It's also questionable if rayn could be scum with him at this point... So who's left? gumshoe? LOL that won't be the case..

Someone suggested GB/Onegu/Hopeless and I can sort of see that making sense, since none of them have pushed each other too hard? In any case, there's quite certainly at least one scum in that group, probably two. I'd lean on Onegu personally. Would be nice to hear thoughts from gumshoe/Vivax/BH especially, though. Chromatically is already hard on GB anyways and rayn is probably scum or useless regardless.

Actually shenanigans are usually pro-town. I just recently read Ver's analysis of the game Assassination Mafia, and he had a good point: scum can pretend to be town while everything is going according to plan, but when something unexpected happens, their reactions will be delayed, uncoordinated and most of all easier to identify as scum actions.

In the event you're town, rayn, I really have nothing left to say. I used to enjoy playing with you among the most on these forums, but now I just wish you had never joined. You almost made Slam quit TL Mafia to satisfy your own ego, and insulted almost everyone in the game so far with ad hominem attacks (which don't really have a place on TL Mafia IMO). It tells something that a lot of people wanted to lynch you yesterday even though they thought you were town.

Back on topic, I really hope rayn is scum... But it's hard to say for sure. Like, a lot of what he's done generally only makes sense as scum... But it's impossible to completely rule out the chance of town rayn.. Considering the amount of drama that's happened in the past too..

Going forward, I guess a lurker/policy lynch on D1 would be the best option. No risk of arguments going overboard.

On another note, it'll be interesting to see who gets shot tonight. Maybe Vivax, BH, gumshoe or me... It should depend on what the actual scumteam is.

And now I'm depressed after reading the last pages of marv's filter...

I guess I was a bit too persistent in arguing with him though, overall. Neither of our attitudes were really too productive in those moments.

The points with Chromatically gave me some renewed concern. It's also a bit uncomfortable how rayn soft defended him, then marv went to see for himself and showed it wrong... Why would town rayn give that defense then in the first place?

Not sure how you got ritoky = scum though Vivax? I agree he's been less and less noteworthy over time, but... Did marv ever suspect him?

Hmmm....

I guess that's a bit of a weird reaction...

How sold are you on this dream team of rayn/Chromatically/ritoky? I still kind of feel like Onegu is scum, and he seems like a safe lynch tomorrow. Then again, I guess there's always the incomprehensible possibility that he's town and just plays like this... I guess he did play a bit similarly as town in that earlier game.... And marv liked him too... >.> I really don't want to believe it though...

Hopeless is pretty much a policy lynch...

I guess that team wouldn't be impossible. Least confident on ritoky maybe, but rayn can very easily be scum and Chromatically could be too, considering that weird soft defense of him by rayn (which actually fits him more with his scum meta here? - picking a target and continuing to push it through eternity).. hm... In that case I'd want to lynch rayn first of all though.

All of these 3 have wanted GB dead so I guess that's a point for GB?

You're not making your position any easier by calling Vivax and gumshoe scum though GB :/ If you're actually town, you need to look at things objectively, and see that they have both made around the most good posts in this game (I'll admit that even though I have vastly the most posts, they both have more actually helpful posts probably). They were also both invested in how to handle the D2 lynch... Same with BH... And just overall they're one of the few positive forces pushing scumhunting in this game full of hate and trolling. You could really use just taking a step back and consider the situation calmly, like you saw that I was town from my meta, and see that Vivax's scum meta is way more inactive and useless than this, and I doubt gumshoe has ever played this well before even as town...

Tbh I think GB might just be in an extremely defensive/paranoid stance atm... Kind of like I was regarding marv at one point.

I really don't see what scum GB would achieve by pushing consensus townies... Seems too suicidal and "solo-centric" (alone against the conspiracy of hidden scum or something). Bad nonetheless, but I can't really blame him too much looking at how I slightly suspected marv too.

GB, I think gumshoe was basing a good part of his defense for you on how he scumread yamato and how his flip would clear you. Now that yamato flipped town, it makes sense for him to reconsider you, right?

Maybe I just wish I was townsiding (with GB) and marv was scumsiding (with rayn) D1..... If that's not the case, I'll be a bit sad at my play there.

GB: If I die, will you promise to drop your suspicions of Vivax/gumshoe for tomorrow and sheep them? For me? I'm like 99% certain they're both town and neither even really wants to lynch you right now. But if you keep that up, it would just end up with you being lynched tomorrow.

I mean... It's like in that newbie game I observed once. I forgot the names, but most players indicated their willingness to lynch a certain player. Only the confirmed townie (Innocent Child or something) and another obvtown weren't very willing to lynch him. That was a clear sign that he was town. Kind of the same thing here? With gumshoe and me being the most hesitant, and I think even Vivax not sure about the whole thing. Rest basically wanting to kill him.

So I guess if you assume that the scumteam is something like GB/Onegu/Hopeless, then it could make sense... But even then GB preferred to lynch Onegu/Hopeless yesterday...?

I thought ritoky was highly town early on... Now he's somewhat dropped off the radar and I can't even remember anything he did D2...? As for you, I agree you've posted a lot and there's a lot of decent reasoning, but if GB is town, it would mean that you've spent almost all of your effort on pushing first me (town) and then GB (town).... Which then kind of makes it sensible to see what GB is first, but can we afford it at this point? I'd really prefer lynching rayn atm. If rayn flipped scum, it would basically semi-clear GB... Well, that didn't work with yamato though

That's why I didn't ask GB for reads or his top lynches or anything when I was talking to him. If I ask him and he does it, I don't learn anything about his alignment. What matters is if he does it when I don't tell him what he should do.


I just said those things because I kind of feel like he could be a townie who's on the wrong track. He feels so overly paranoid that it's a bit more indicative of town than scum... Well, I guess the other explanation is that he's just scum and making impossible shit up as he goes, but wouldn't scum GB want to improve his chances of survival tomorrow, rather than ruin his chances by antagonizing the only people who consider him to be town to some extent?

Yeah I guess so.... It's just a rather... Strict set of potential scummates (Onegu+Hopeless?).

Let us know what you find :D

No because I specifically asked this to him and he said it wouldn't change much and that he just wanted to clear me to the others.


Even if that's the case, he said he'd be reluctant to lynch you, I think? But I can understand it wouldn't be easy for him to hard oppose it after the yamato wagon failed. And in any case, gumshoe has been overall the most contributive, good poster, I think....

Hopeless never mentioned yam at all really until his vote, so thats an obvius one.

Onegu's vote on hopeless was super pointless for a townie. The kind of thing I could see him doing because he knew both wagons (gb and yam) were town and wanted to be like "hah! I was the only guy who knew what was up yo" he may have also wanted to distance himself from hopeless.

You all call me useless but then you all know my reads are normally right on. Unless they are completely wrong. It is never a mix of right and wrong. And I am more right than wrong.

I have one more potential scum read, but at this point the well becomes pretty foggy and there's no point calling up a shitstorm when I don't have any hard evidence.

I will say that if Onegu and hopeless arent both scum, then someone here has been playing a really good game. Which means were in trouble ) : If we want a certain lynch, these two would probally be best. But it might too much for town to function until we've cleared Gb so hes the other choice / :

Between Hopeless and Onegu, I would lynch hopeless first.
Otherwise Gb will have to go just as a matter of course / : even though I really am not that sold on him.


Oh yeah I missed this post. I wondered a bit where GB found his quote.

Is the "calling a shitstorm" referring to calling rayn scum?

Well, since we have one "free" mislynch left, I guess GB wouldn't be the WORST option. At least lynching him would solve a lot of mysteries about how the game has went. Unlike say, lynching hopeless. But lynching rayn would be equally informative and more likely to hit scum IMO... Then there's Onegu too....

I think ritoky has shown well that he's legitimately trying to figure the game out, which is like the #1 town sign. The way he posts what he's thinking feels very town to me. Plus he's said the exact thing I was thinking many times. I'm pretty confidant in it.

What's your reasoning on rayn being scum now? I'm feel fairly confident that he's town now and I'd be interested to know what about him you think is scummy at this point (probably in your filter, but that's really really long).

I don't see how that would ruin his chances of survival though. You lynch people for doing scummy things, not because they "antagonized" you or gave you a scumread.

Like, GB hasn't even been inactive this night phase. He's been around a lot, and posting. So what is he doing??

He still says we should lynch Vivax. IF he's town, he's about to get mislynched and NO ONE wants to lynch his target. But he's not posting a case, he's not trying to talk to people and convince them to lynch Vivax, he's just existing. ESPECIALLY compared to his town pushes.


Well I can link to my last post about rayn in my next post...

I mean, theoretically everyone would be calm and consider things objectively. But this game is a prime example of how that hasn't been the case. I'd imagine that pushing the people defending him wouldn't help their motivation to keep defending him...

As for me, I think its ridiculous for him to accuse people of not jumping on GB at the end, when he himself was heavily SCUMREADING GB, heavily TOWNREADING Yamato and yet didn't bother to hammer GB. His vote would have made the votecount even, enabling Yamato or someone not voting for Yamato to vote for GB and give him the lead... But he was content just spamming "Yamato is town, haha, suckers please lynch him!". This would make sense if he's scum with GB OR if GB is town and rayn just wants to keep him as a mislynch push or something... What's more, not sure what's up with that, but he said "good night", then came back close to deadline when things were heated - makes me think he was just hanging in scumQT until then. And ultimately I'm not sure if the host attack thing is so good for him... He's generally trigger-happy and his comment to the host wasn't even that offensive, so it's not unbelievable for scum rayn to say it. Maybe thinking that Rels wouldn't have the balls to modkill him as scum for it.

We should try to avoid thinking about "free" mislynches, though. If we do mislynch tomorrow, although we don't lose, we'll be going into 4-3 LYLO, which is a pretty tall order in general. We should try to do our best to shoot for the best chance of lynching scum tomorrow, rather than speculating on what lynch will give us the most information-- unless we really really don't think we have a good chance of lynching scum.


Yeah, it's certainly better to hit scum information-wise as well... What I meant that it's kind of a coin-flip to lynch Hopeless and he wouldn't provide too much information with his flip.... Well, I guess that would depend on how the wagons form too.

Now that I mentioned, I should recheck hopeless.

Maybe Vivax's dream team could be right. I can kind of see both GB and hopeless as town. Onegu... eh. It's hard, but not totally implausible.

But I guess that will become clearer with the next NK / lynch too...

No, someone else,

If chrom(why push gb as hard as he did day 2? Would look like shit after a green flip), ritoky(the onegu shenani and a general town vibe) bh(obviusly) rayn(twat) you(also obs) and me(most obs) are town and one of us is getting shot. That only leaves 4 suspects. three of which should be scum. If im actually right this time, we win as long as we dont lynch outside those 4. Its that or enough scum have been outclassing town that winning is gonna be a real bitch.

All that said we really cant afford to waste our mislynch on Rayn T_T Historically I've been very good at reading him as town when everyone wants his head so though I agree 100 percent that he deserves a fire beneath his feet, it's not how were gonna win / :

bonus points for Rayn. I dont think he would have shot marv n1 considering marv was controlling town and defending him,

I also dont buy a scum Rayn bieng this mean to you Xata. Rayn is only this much of an ass to people hes actually emotional twoards / : that and Rayn's day 1 looked fine.

If Gb flips scum, thats all the more reason to write Rayn off as town / : so if we do plan on lynching gb at some point, rayn would only come after that if ever.


What, Vivax...?

In general I've found 1Gu's posting significantly more problematic (as well as his various dodges, especially near the end of D2-- look where his vote is). What are your thoughts on 1Gu?


I think he's the most likely scum out of the suspect trio of GB/Onegu/hopeless. Mainly because of his nonsensical votes, lack of effort (despite non-lurker activity) and avoiding certain questions.

Overall, just not being interested in scumhunting. At least hopeless showed some interest with the little he posted. Although it's slightly concerning that he barely posted anything D2.

Honestly dont remember much of VivaxThink there is some good effort to keep things on track from Vivax, though it was pissed away to tell rayn to fuck off basically. Onegu still feels like he's "testing" me so I'm going to let him be for the time being but I really want to OMGUS him. Association to yamato looks shitty too, and yamato has been about as useful as I have this game, except I'm expected to be trash and he's not.

also you guys voting rayn while thinking hes town....you're as bad as him for doing that.

Going forward, I guess a lurker/policy lynch on D1 would be the best option. No risk of arguments going overboard.

On another note, it'll be interesting to see who gets shot tonight. Maybe Vivax, BH, gumshoe or me... It should depend on what the actual scumteam is.


It'll be Bh, hes the most calm level headed person here. The one that most agree is town. I just engineered a lynch on a townie so its not gonna be me / : and theres no reason for scum to end the shit show that is you and Rayn. Barring scum incompetence and weird meta, Bh is probs done.

Bh, you gotta get as many reads in as possible tonight ) :

So I dont think we have much choice in the next few lynches. Chrom is probs town, as there was no reason to push Gb as hard as he did when the lynch was already going great for scum. So adding him to my town pile only leaves a few possibilitys.

Hopeless never mentioned yam at all really until his vote, so thats an obvius one.

Onegu's vote on hopeless was super pointless for a townie. The kind of thing I could see him doing because he knew both wagons (gb and yam) were town and wanted to be like "hah! I was the only guy who knew what was up yo" he may have also wanted to distance himself from hopeless. Early on Onegu mentioned that he wouldnt be very useful, but that he would be fairly right most of the time. sounds kinda like scum no?

You all call me useless but then you all know my reads are normally right on. Unless they are completely wrong. It is never a mix of right and wrong. And I am more right than wrong.


Then theres Gb, there may not be any way to avoid lynching him honestly / : so long as players like chrom and rayn are set on Gb, town cant really function. That and I might have just been wrong about him T_T

I have one more potential scum read, but at this point the well becomes pretty foggy and there's no point calling up a shitstorm when I don't have any hard evidence.

I will say that if Onegu and hopeless arent both scum, then someone here has been playing a really good game. Which means were in trouble ) : If we want a certain lynch, these two would probally be best. But it might too much for town to function until we've cleared Gb so hes the other choice / :

Between Hopeless and Onegu, I would lynch hopeless first.
Otherwise Gb will have to go just as a matter of course / : even though I really am not that sold on him.


Oh yeah I missed this post. I wondered a bit where GB found his quote.

Is the "calling a shitstorm" referring to calling rayn scum?

Well, since we have one "free" mislynch left, I guess GB wouldn't be the WORST option. At least lynching him would solve a lot of mysteries about how the game has went. Unlike say, lynching hopeless. But lynching rayn would be equally informative and more likely to hit scum IMO... Then there's Onegu too....


No, someone else,

If chrom(why push gb as hard as he did day 2? Would look like shit after a green flip), ritoky(the onegu shenani and a general town vibe) bh(obviusly) rayn(twat) you(also obs) and me(most obs) are town and one of us is getting shot. That only leaves 4 suspects. three of which should be scum. If im actually right this time, we win as long as we dont lynch outside those 4. Its that or enough scum have been outclassing town that winning is gonna be a real bitch.

All that said we really cant afford to waste our mislynch on Rayn T_T Historically I've been very good at reading him as town when everyone wants his head so though I agree 100 percent that he deserves a fire beneath his feet, it's not how were gonna win / :

bonus points for Rayn. I dont think he would have shot marv n1 considering marv was controlling town and defending him,

I also dont buy a scum Rayn bieng this mean to you Xata. Rayn is only this much of an ass to people hes actually emotional twoards / : that and Rayn's day 1 looked fine.

If Gb flips scum, thats all the more reason to write Rayn off as town / : so if we do plan on lynching gb at some point, rayn would only come after that if ever.


Oh yeah.. Hm. Scum rayn was pretty annoying towards me in the VS game too, though. Even though I was correct all along hehe

OF COURSE GB is going to have more weird flipflops and flaws than yamato; yamato literally hasn't posted. You can't say GB looks worse than yamato and have that be a meaningful statement.


With not even two pages of filter, theres no way that Hopeless looks more scummy than anyone here / : I dont doubt that hes very careful about not slipping up, the whole notion that scum will deliver themselves to us on a platter is something I have fought with people from mah very first game. Scum are fairly capable of not looking all that scummy / :

If Hopeless is town, than that means that means at least 2 scum have outclassed town enough that if even we play optimally we lose almost no matter what. Shitty, yes. But I'm not gonna vote for someone I am confident is town just because the actual town fucked up that bad / :



Hm... Well, it's a risk either way. But I think I liked hopeless's posts better than yamato's....

Hmmmm.... Maybe... I can kind of see what gumshoe is saying about rayn. It's true that it wouldn't be emotionally easy to fake all those hateful posts and do impulsive "quits" from the game.

Could it be just so easy that it's GB+Onegu+hopeless... But I kind of liked hopeless's filter (for what little was there).... dunno

Yeah keeping his vote on you was an absolutely stupid thing to do as either alignment. It made zero sense. So why is doing that as mafia less likely than doing it as town?

Unless he's in a team with GB (unlikely), there would be no harm in putting his vote on GB instead of you. He certainly had justified a switch enough at that point. Keeping GB as a mislynch for later..? Why not keep yamato as the mislynch? It's a totally nonsensical move as either alignment --> non-alignment indicative. (Maybe even more likely town because it puts attention on him, but that can be WIFOM too).

I think the thing about saying "good night" is a non-point. I've said I'm leaving before and come back to the thread after that, really not more likely as mafia than town.


Oh yeah this...

Well, as town he SHOULD have cared about his townread being lynched over his scumread. Instead, he didn't care one bit. As scum it's explainable by just being fine whatever townie got lynched.

I guess the "gn" thing isn't much of a point.

Hmm... Quite a bit conflicted on Chromatically atm. On the other hand, I really like the huge amount of effort he's put into the game. But then, at times, it just feels like he's "going through the motions", or doing things out of obligation....?

I'm really low on time so I'm just going to do some quick thoughts on Onegu.

Onegu clearly hasn't done much this game. Of course, he's not interested in finding mafia, hasn't shown a townie thought process, etc. His reads are on a totally different page then mine (ritoky and BH as mafia?). A lot of his posts feel like they're just throwing suspicion somewhere:

I feel pretty confident the top group is town, and I wanted to put rayn in the bottom group on feel but I haven't looked into it enough to feel comfortable saying that right at this moment. Been spending my time mostly on GB.



Why is ritoky town to you?

ritoky is like a very strong feel read now I guess? The way he's joking seems like he's very comfortable in the thread. I agree with what Xatalos said about when he was in the conversation with Xatalos/marv, I liked the stuff he said about marv there a lot. I also liked this post:

because it seems like genuine townie hesitation to commit to a read they're not sure of (easy to just call me mafia or town as mafia).



Huh. Mafia normally dont make strong stances. That doesnt make much sense to me.

Like this post felt really strange to me, didn't say anything about ritoky's alignment but just vaguely threw suspicion on me and him.

He was extremely confident (unjustified) in townreads on rayn (during that conversation N1). He voted rayn after saying he's 99% town (although apparently he could have done it as town).

##Vote: Xata

I explained this earlier too, "Xata is making zero sense here" did not fit into the conversation at all because Xatalos hadn't posted anything that Onegu disagreed with for a while. It seems like Onegu wanted to vote Xatalos to be consistent with what he was saying and just threw an explanation on there without it making much sense.

Out of time so I know these aren't very well explained, but I think most people get the idea by this point.


And here it disturbed me a little bit how he was so anxious about GB stepping up to play out of a lynch:

On October 28 2015 03:31 Chromatically wrote:
Why are you telling GB how to play??? Telling someone "if you're town, then do this" is the complete opposite of helpful because they can just do it and then you have zero idea of their alignment. You have to look at how he plays on his own without saying "hey you should do this".

That's why I didn't ask GB for reads or his top lynches or anything when I was talking to him. If I ask him and he does it, I don't learn anything about his alignment. What matters is if he does it when I don't tell him what he should do.


But dunno... It's so hard to think he's scum either when several players aren't putting in much (if any) effort...

Going with a GB/1Gu/H1 scumteam (the "naive" scumteam, the three most scummy players in the game), things would have looked like:

Day 1
Alakaslam (8): raynpelikoneet, marvellosity, Hopeless1der, yamato77, Chromatically, Vivax, gumshoe, Blazinghand
raynpelikoneet (3): Alakaslam, GlowingBear, Onegu
Onegu (2): ritoky, Xatalos

Day 2
yamato77 (4): gumshoe, Xatalos, Hopeless1der, Vivax,
GlowingBear (3): Chromatically, ritoky, Blazinghand
raynpelikoneet (1): GlowingBear
Xatalos (1): raynpelikoneet
Hopeless1der (1): Onegu



What immediately stands out to me about this theory is that it would mean 2 of 3 votes on rayn were by scum. Perhaps hoping to come out of it smelling like roses (and GB does stay on rayn the next day) after the slam flip. During Day 2, GB and 1Gu are on off-wagons, but both actually have completely the ability to kill yamato over GB. As it stands, they don’t look implicated by the Yamato flip. There’s nothing inherently broken about this possibility. Not saying this makes this scum; but we can’t rule them out based on association alone. The scumteam could work.


I think in general, looking at the first VCA highlighting:

Day 1
Alakaslam (8): raynpelikoneet, marvellosity, Hopeless1der, yamato77, Chromatically, Vivax, gumshoe, Blazinghand
raynpelikoneet (3): Alakaslam, GlowingBear, Onegu
Onegu (2): ritoky, Xatalos

Day 2
yamato77 (4): gumshoe, Xatalos, Hopeless1der, Vivax,
GlowingBear (3): Chromatically, ritoky, Blazinghand
raynpelikoneet (1): GlowingBear
Xatalos (1): raynpelikoneet
Hopeless1der (1): Onegu



The thing we notice most is how unlikely it is scum was forced to have a hand in the slam wagon. Even if 3 of the 5 votes on slam are scum, they could ave dispersed elsewhere and still avoided a no-lynch during D1.

During D2, you had several close wagons and almost certainly then, by definition, some kind of scum meddling in the wagon outcome. Chosing to disperse rather than consolidate IT hink explains the Onegu vote quite nicely. If GB is really town, scum wouldn’t care at all— they’d all be voting like Onegu (though GB’s vote makes no sense regardless of his alignment) and raynpelikoneet. Actually, rayn’s vote raises my suspicion of him here, just because looking at how close things got, I Can’t help but think rayn on GB (given that he was hard TRing yaamto) could have made the difference!

So, in summary GB’s vote on rayn doesn’t mean anything. I think Rayn and Onegu both deserve more scrutiny (Though Onegu is the only guy I’m scumreading out of the two of them) for what went down at the end of D2. Lastly, VCA does not RULE OUT a GB/H1/1G team— though of course I will not rule in teams as groups. You don’t draw associative tells between unflipped players.


Yeah that's what I said about rayn And Onegu's vote doesn't make sense on either day (D1: on his highest townread, D2: wasted).

Haha well, it looks like everything would have gone for the better if I had just assumed marv and rayn as non-lynchable for D1-D2. They're likely NK targets anyway if town so not a lot of reason to lynch them early on. That's what I usually did before, but I started to maybe become unnecessarily wary of them due to some recent games... Well, should prolly just go back to ignoring them early on..

I Know 0_0 its hard not to overthink this.

I think the onegu, gb, hopeless train was pretty set last night. If scum liked that lineup, they wouldnt have done anything to rock the boat is my guess.

This shot makes me think scum wanted us to read into it and alter course? maybe? Unless the reasoning was the trolly one I mentioned earlier XD

Ironically I feel a bit better about the direction town is taking, so barring something crazy, my vote is safe where it is.


Yeah so like there's two theories here.

Theory 1. The H1 1G GB wagon train was running strong. Scum looks at this and is like "this a great train. Let's let it run" and shoot rayn. Probably rayn rather than someone else who's not a leader cause a silent rayn is a significantly more pleasant rayn.

Theory 2. The H1 1G GB wagon train is running strong, and cannot be stopped no matter what. Scum figure their only chance is to confuse us by acting like they like the train and shooting someone irrelevant. They shoot rayn since, obviously, a silent rayn is an infinitely more pleasant rayn.

I think our best strategy is to assume that Theory 2 is correct and push forward with lynches on those guys today. I feel confident in my reads, and my VCA supports that as a possibility, especially 1Gu. If it turns out we're wrong on this, we can revisit things, since we have one more mislynch of breathing room. I don't think the right response here is to undo all our scumreads.


LOL great reasoning

Anyways, I agree, we should probably lynch Onegu today... Or perhaps GB/hopeless, but I think hopeless could be town and maybe GB as well... Well, I won't be sad if either of them disappears.

Yeah I guess Onegu is fine. There's basically no way he's going to help town at LYLO even if he's town. He voted for rayn (his highest townread) with a (at the time) decisive vote, and wasted his vote on D2. Even if he's town, he will just lose the game....

I suppose it's hard to truly screw up... When any of the more inactive players could flip scum, and at least it isn't a set lynch on one player, so there could still be some info gained from today's wagons.

I guess even both Onegu and GB could potentially be scum. GB did say that he wanted to lynch Onegu D2, but it wasn't a hard bus or anything.

I guess referring to me? Can't disagree my D1 wasn't particularly productive going against marv and rayn like that... But from now on, I'll just go along with my most town reads because I can't really be certain I have a clue what's going on in this game...

Just checked, gumshoe is definitely town because I think he posts differently as mafia than he does here and as town. It seems like his tone is much more serious as mafia, and definitely not as interested in finding mafia. Plus his mafia games have 2, 2, 2, and 4 page filters total (idk how convincing filter length argument is but it's easy and feels good). I guess it could just be a coincidence that lurker gumshoe showed up for his mafia games, but I don't think that gumshoe would be able to play like this as mafia.

Let me be sincere here:

I'm completely demotivated to play. Partly because I've burned out of playing mafia, partly because I can't stand coming to a promising game, liking playing it, but then facing medium tier players overvaluating themselves and promoting shitfests, and players that signs in to simply not play the game. It's like playing chess with a wall.

I'm not certain on anyone but Vivax. Vivax has displayed some townie posts, I must agree, but his overall gameplay seems scummy to me. He doesn't feel engaged to win. He hasn't done anything memorable.

The rest I can call scummy for whatever reasons. At this point I want to lynch everybody and be the last man standing.

No, I won't make a case on Vivax. I've spent 3-4 hours re reading day one, talked about Vivax, said we should keep slam and yamato to read later, and that we should go against Onegu and hopeless, just to be called mafia right after. It's boring. Then it's day3, and people are considering a team of me/Onegu/hopeless ROFLMAO. I won't waste my time.

I will be hanging here and give some opinions on whatever I find relevant and vote people accordingly to how I feel comfortable.



For the record, I kind of thought this post could be coming from town? Again the same feeling as at D1 end.

But since it seems that you like to bus, GB, I'm not really dye how GB/Onegu/hopeless could be ruled out. Even if I think you and hopeless have potential to be town. But ritoky's paranoia and Chromatically's continued balanced effort makes me want to townread them more today too..

gumshoe's Vivax tinfoil came to mind, but really... Vivax is totally apathetic as scum in my experience,

Hmm... Theoretically, I guess ritoky/Onegu could make sense based on ritoky's reluctance to lynch Onegu starting from the original shenanigans... But why would he then jump on Onegu in the first place? Perhaps thinking that it was too late anyway? Well, it's still risky.

Btw I agree that Onegu's reaction to the NK was odd. It's as if he thought it was natural/expected. What's more, I'm not sure where he pulled Xatalos/hopeless since rayn was mainly scumreading GB and ritoky at the end?

Hm... I think there may be something to gumshoe's theory, but I think it's a bit too WIFOMy to make our reads based on our assumptions about the last NK. It could well be that they just thought he had potential to be dangerous as a veteran player, like marv.

Ehhhh I really don't agree with that. gumshoe and Xatalos were both of the mindset that yamato scum = GB town, which was pretty reasonable. So they'd want to see the yamato flip before killing GB. Even I thought it would be a mistake to double lynch without considering info from the flip.


This is bullshit. If you think I'm mafia like you show you think I am you vote me 100%.

Tell me how yamato flipping mafia would clear me. And I want YOU to tell me, not anyone else.

What? It doesn't matter what I say, I wasn't convinced yamato mafia would clear you. The point is that Xatalos and gumshoe clearly thought it would.

Seriously though.. Hm.. I guess it's not a *bad* option to lynch GB. I still think Onegu is more likely scum, though, so maybe you should reconsider gumshoe? Like I see GB actually thinking about the game, but Onegu is just using his votes in ways that contradict his stances, and generally not being coherent with what he posts.

Can't really come to a conclusion on GB. He's a mystery.

Onegu is still probably scum though.

Even more so since his senseless push for me/hopeless today (when actually marv/rayn townread hopeless and I kind of agree to an extent).

If we apply numeric values then maybe something like this...

gumshoe - 10
BH - 9
Vivax - 8
Chromatically - 7
ritoky - 5
hopeless - 4
GlowingBear - 3
Onegu - 1

well, not towards me. You're actually being a little more gentle with me, compared to normal. Normally I'd expect you to end up TRing ritoky for that on your own. Maybe it's been some time since we played together, or my edge is getting dull, but I recall you being pretty good at noticing people's motivations.

ritoky is a really had to read for me and i don't think he has said much of anything that could be in my opinion considered townie.

Maybe it's jsut like you say and other people do not know you as well as i do (and what you can / cannot do as mafia), but still... it's really hard for me to believe both of Xatalos and ritoky actually believe you are town for your actions regarding the rng lynch. I just don't fucking buy it.


nice one bro.


respond.

no


y'know, gonna be honest here. you're the most underwhelming player that people tell me is good on these forums. i just don't see it; maybe i am the one who is so bad i can't comprehend your greatness; but i don't think that's the case.

I don't talk to people who i think are mafia or will not understand me anyways.


i think i am content ignoring everything you say in every game going forward; it doesn't have much value or good reason in it anywayz.

I think if i have this convo with someone they think i am mafia, at least they should imo.

One crazy idea I had is that the scumteam could be something like Onegu/GB/ritoky since they've all had these hipster suspicions in the last 24 hours - maybe feeling pressed into a corner and needing to redirect attention? Could also explain the rayn NK as trying to shake things up, and rayn's scumread on GB/ritoky....

But there are some problems with that team. For example, ritoky eagerly jumped on Onegu D1, and again voted for GB D2. GB has also pushed Onegu lately. Could be bussing I guess, but especially ritoky is a bit hard to explain.

True, I suppose... In any case, there should be at least one scum within GB/Onegu, so I'm not really sad whichever gets picked today. Hopefully they're both scum or we hit the correct one first.

Btw gumshoe, I'm not sure how much that argument helps, since it kind of just aligns with whatever you otherwise find scummy? Like if you found me and BH scummy, it would just equally align with those reads? But I guess it's worth pursuing whatever ways to solve the game

Hm yeah, that is a pretty extreme tunnel.... Though he did mention that Vivax has "made some townie posts"? Well, that's a very vague description, I agree. And Vivax has just remained safely scummy throughout the game even if the reasons change :/

Can't say I'm really sad if we solve him today.

Might even vote for him closer to deadline if you think GB is a much better option than Onegu, Chromatically.

I think the scumteam has to be in GB/Onegu/hopeless/ritoky... Chromatically has looked quite good lately, so it's likely not him.

I doubt there's much benefit to clearly consolidating? There's potential to more information if the situation is uncertain (hard choices for scum).

As for why I included ritoky, it's because his contributions have steadily dropped throughout the game, and maybe rayn was right with his cases. I'll have to reread rayn's stuff before deciding though.

hopeless could be town (or scum), but looks like he's just being lazy and maybe modkilled? I don't think he's the priority in this group.

Tbh all of GB/Onegu/ritoky have suggested lynches that are "out there" recently.... And dunno what hopeless will do.. But I guess it's hard without any real thread control...

I guess Onegu/GB makes more sense with this turn of events? (Onegu gunning for hopeless)

And yeah, it's odd to ignore rayn's top scumread while otherwise relying on his reads to that extent...

Dunno... It just feels like he throws scum/townreads around too casually. This Xatalos/hopeless thing now too... Ignoring rayn's scumreads on GB/ritoky.... And instead pushing us two.. Why?



The main reason is because I am scum reading you two more. GB needs looked at also, but I feel multiple people scum read GB maybe he shoots rayn, but only rayn and myself were scum reading you. Rayn had the clout that I dont to actually lynch you.


I really doubt rayn could have ever gotten me lynched... If the kill was motivated by his reads, I'd imagine it's because there's scum within ritoky/GB/hopeless (mostly GB/ritoky since the hopeless suspicion was just some PoE one-liner at the very end). If I was in the scumteam, I'd just have left him to be mislynched as he was already almost lynched during D1 and D2.

Currently GB is getting lynched... Can't really convince myself to push Onegu over GB. In any case, both probably need to be lynched. I can even move my vote to GB if there's some demand/reasoning for that order?

Btw gumshoe what was the Vivax scumread about? (might have missed it though) What do you think about GB's push on Vivax in relation to that? Long-term bussing?

Also what did you think about rayn's case on ritoky? There's this on D1...

really?
when he himself just argued it's less likely to hit mafia then not rng lycnhing?


it's actually equally as likely, so i disagree with your premise entirely.

it's actually really simple. i mean i guess it's pretty simple for me cuz i read like 10 of BH's games in the recent past so i could accurately impersonate him. here's your guide to reading BH:

Did he RNG immediately @ the start of the game: if yes -> 80% chance to be town; if no -> 80% chance to be mafia

Did he push the RNG target or just leave it there like a dead fish: if push -> 95% chance to be town; if dead fish - 50% chance to be mafia

Did he gather reads from people arguing with him about why they are better than RNG: yes - DING DING DING town; i don't know he hasn't given reads - 75% town; no - 50% town

rayn, was this your turning point on ritoky? They're right when saying that ritoky posted nothing between "(rayn thinks) ritoky is town" and "POE lynch list include ritoky".

Yeah as i said that was yesterday. I clearly pointed out (before going to bed) that i dislike Xatalos' & ritoky's reads on BH which i had missed earlier as i was tired. My townread on ritoky before was not based on that at all. I jsut didn't pay attention to his posts because i didn't think he was saying anything interesting. It's like how i treat players who don't say anything interesting (unless something changes)... in every game.

There is absolutely nothing contradicting there, i re-evaluated his posting after i had slept and dug up further and came to conclusion he is mafia, because:
1) His read on BH is bad.
2) His reasoning for his read doesn't even make any sense.for example; he says there is 80% chance BH does this rng thing as town, so there is actually then 20% chance of BH doing that as mafia - by default. When people tell his that "BH could totally do that as mafia" it doesn't affect his read at all. In fact he just pushes the townread further with more illogical arguments, like trying to argue random lynching is as effective as not random lynching, which is a straight out lie, and doesn't even have anything to do with BH's alignment.

So yeah, there is that. That's basically the only thing he has done in this game in addition to now bitching at me.


Then this later... Which I didn't quite follow...

Maybe it's been some time since we played together, or my edge is getting dull, but I recall you being pretty good at noticing people's motivations.

ritoky is a really had to read for me and i don't think he has said much of anything that could be in my opinion considered townie.

Maybe it's jsut like you say and other people do not know you as well as i do (and what you can / cannot do as mafia), but still... it's really hard for me to believe both of Xatalos and ritoky actually believe you are town for your actions regarding the rng lynch. I just don't fucking buy it.

no


y'know, gonna be honest here. you're the most underwhelming player that people tell me is good on these forums. i just don't see it; maybe i am the one who is so bad i can't comprehend your greatness; but i don't think that's the case.

I don't talk to people who i think are mafia or will not understand me anyways.

Well there's the way Onegu has used both of his votes without caring about the lynch result (especially concerning since rayn/Slam were both town, so scum wouldn't care anyway) - first voting rayn D1 (his highest townread), then wasting his vote D2. He just doesn't care who gets lynched (as long as it's town), completely unconcerned about scumhunting. Also the way he said "marv is really useless because he's pushing Slam" like he knew Slam was town despite nullreading Slam himself, among other things..

rayn point 1:
Reading bh's rng as town is bad:

this is a null thing, we feel certain ways about things and use logic to justify those feels, ritoky felt good about bh coming into thread with his rng, and conveyed that to the rest of us, that doesnt make him scum, its just an offense to rayns sensibilities. Also with what we know of Bh now, it was from wrong to town read / :

verdict-null

point 2
Rayn has an angry convo with ritoky, ritoky still town reads rayn, rayn thinks he should be scum read by someone if they have that sort of convo, again, sensibilities, I town read people I argue with aaaaaall the time

verdict-silly rayn

point 3

The onegu switch- onegu is never lynched day 1, bad ritoky

bh was the first to vote on onegu, someone else was there as well, there was plenty of reason to think onegu might get shenanynied and given what we know now of onegu ritoky trying to lynch him is far from something to be held against him. I almost voted switched to ritoky myself just to avoid the stupid slam lynch.

verdict- actually pretty townie.

Maybe ritoky is scum this game, but rayns silly arguments from the grave definitely dont make a good case for it / :


Yeah I didn't really get the latter case either...

The first one might have some merit though. At the time I disagreed with rayn, but maybe there's something to it after all... The way how ritoky was so extremely sure that BH was town, even though he said there was like at least a 20% chance that he could have done the RNG thing as scum.

In any case, this is surely a topic for another day.

But overall I think rayn's case on ritoky is rather weak. It's just mostly PoE for me. I'll never believe gumshoe is scum, and BH has been looking pretty good all game IMO. Chromatically has also looked decent enough, same goes for Vivax. So what's left is GB/Onegu/hopeless/ritoky.

you should care, if gb flips town for some dumb reason, then you me or xata die, well have 3 scum plus ritoky vs 3 town and onegu might not get lynched till lylo or something equally disturbing.

Well, this vote is interesting. Luckily it's not LYLO so we basically only lose if they're both town (very, very unlikely).

Yeah it's pretty unbelievable that 2-3 scum wouldn't be in the trio. Not impossible, just unbelievable. It's not at least gumshoe/BH, and probably not Chromatically/Vivax either... All of these 4 are much more likely town than any of the rest IMO... Especially the first 2

Meh yeah if there's 2+ scum within the trio I think we lost because they can't be relied on LYLO anyway... GB maybe barely, but... Onegu not at all, and apparently not hopeless

I really have no words for Onegu wasting his vote here though LOL

I guess he's either waiting for the last moments, saving his scumbuddy GB... or town hell-bent on losing the game

Well this current situation basically means that either 1) GB and Onegu are both scum or 2) GB is town and Onegu is scum

Otherwise no sense for scum to let GB die like this, I think

~ If ONEGU is MAFIA

Then gumshoe is 100% mafia.

1) Gumshoe started strong townreading me when I was under heavy suspicions. He took every piece of evidence he could find to call me town.
Then, today, he decided to vote me. His excuse was "I had to go" because all of his townies were suspecting me and he couldn't waste another day of discussion.
The problem here is: he was also scumreading Onegu way before and his townreads were putting ME and ONEGU as obvious scum partners. If he thought I was town before, wouldn't it be better if he asked his townreads to vote me since, well, THEY WERE ALL SCUMREADING ONEGU AND ONEGU WAS ALREADY A COUNTER WAGON?

This makes no sense under a town perspective. If I have someone I'm at least not sure is town or mafia and if I have someone that I am scumreading since way before, who would I vote? Obviously the scum read.

The excuse that his townreads were scumreading me and that they couldn't waste more discussion on me is bullshit because his townreads were also scumreading Onegu and whoever survives from the team they've made will also have to be discussed on later days. It simply doesn't make sense.

2) When I've confronted gumshoe, he decided to respond it with an UNVOTE.

WITH. AN. UNVOTE.

Let me tell you again.

His townreads had me and onegu as mafia. He decided to vote me who he thought was town. When I confront him, he gets convinced I shouldn't be voted. But instead of going against Onegu, he UNVOTES without voting HIS OWN SCUMREAD which is SHARED WITH HIS TOWNREADS. WHY?

3) Then he decides to vote me because he didn't like my tone.
This guy is simply saying that after ALL THE EVIDENCE, after ALL THE POSTS HE QUOTED FROM ME to call me town, he thinks I am mafia out of a TONE READ. Again, why not voting Onegu?

4) When I reach majority with 5 votes, he finally decided to vote Onegu. In other words, he only votes his scumread when his former townread is dying anyways.

There is no way gumshoe isn't mafia with Onegu.

But in the case he is...


~ If ONEGU is TOWN

Then gumshoe is 100% town because there is no way he does all these scummy things with both wagons being town.


Well if gumshoe ends up being scum, he really deserves a nomination for best plays of 2015 and the win :D

gumshoe is top town second only to me. he's been solving this game and working with people, writing cases and analyzing in a SUPER on point way (except with that weird rayn kill rationalization) all game. no way anyone can keep that up as scum


Did you read what I've brought on him?


not really, I don't feel like lynching him (and there's no way it's happening today). Furthemore, you're probably scum. I've mostly been interested in getting 1gu lynched but I'll take a look at it overnight and make thoughts if you really care. That's a promise.

Point out what is wrong on what I've brought.


yeah yeah chill out bro we're lynching 1G today anyways. Almost certainly he's gonna flip scum, and then you're gonna make some kind of asslike push on Gumshoe in an attempt to "look townie", then we lynch you and H1 and win the game


PROMISE ME YOU WILL READ MY POSTS I THINK ABOUT IT IF YOU'RE TOWN


That doesn't even make sense, they both just worked hard to save your ass.

You'll also be discussing them in the next 3 days, so I don't understand why are you complying with lynching me now at this point.


Cause people I know are townies want you dead / : sure your way townier than hopeless and onegu, but nowhere near as townie as chrom or ritoky or bh or xat. So yeah, I dont paticularly care if you die cause I'm not lynching them / : and were going to have to lynch you eventually anyways. So unless theres some paticular reason why you need to live through the next 2 days when your probally gonna die on the third, I dont really care. Town wont be able to seriusly consider someone outside you three till you three are dead. so dems the braks.

Then, today, he decided to vote me. His excuse was "I had to go" because all of his townies were suspecting me and he couldn't waste another day of discussion.
The problem here is: he was also scumreading Onegu way before and his townreads were putting ME and ONEGU as obvious scum partners. If he thought I was town before, wouldn't it be better if he asked his townreads to vote me since, well, THEY WERE ALL SCUMREADING ONEGU AND ONEGU WAS ALREADY A COUNTER WAGON?

This makes no sense under a town perspective. If I have someone I'm at least not sure is town or mafia and if I have someone that I am scumreading since way before, who would I vote? Obviously the scum read.

The excuse that his townreads were scumreading me and that they couldn't waste more discussion on me is bullshit because his townreads were also scumreading Onegu and whoever survives from the team they've made will also have to be discussed on later days. It simply doesn't make sense.

2) When I've confronted gumshoe, he decided to respond it with an UNVOTE.

WITH. AN. UNVOTE.

Let me tell you again.

His townreads had me and onegu as mafia. He decided to vote me who he thought was town. When I confront him, he gets convinced I shouldn't be voted. But instead of going against Onegu, he UNVOTES without voting HIS OWN SCUMREAD which is SHARED WITH HIS TOWNREADS. WHY?

3) Then he decides to vote me because he didn't like my tone.
This guy is simply saying that after ALL THE EVIDENCE, after ALL THE POSTS HE QUOTED FROM ME to call me town, he thinks I am mafia out of a TONE READ. Again, why not voting Onegu?

4) When I reach majority with 5 votes, he finally decided to vote Onegu. In other words, he only votes his scumread when his former townread is dying anyways.

There is no way gumshoe isn't mafia with Onegu.

But in the case he is...


~ If ONEGU is TOWN

Then gumshoe is 100% town because there is no way he does all these scummy things with both wagons being town.


Well if gumshoe ends up being scum, he really deserves a nomination for best plays of 2015 and the win :D


Don't pay attention to this but if 1G flips scum: GB and 1G are scum and Gummie is town, GB trying to cast suspicion on Gummie for some reaosn

Of course this is all unflipped association that should not be paid attention to

Point out what is wrong on what I've brought.


yeah yeah chill out bro we're lynching 1G today anyways. Almost certainly he's gonna flip scum, and then you're gonna make some kind of asslike push on Gumshoe in an attempt to "look townie", then we lynch you and H1 and win the game



I could be wrong on BH though and be OMGUSing right now. But I find hard to believe he would try to dismiss my "please read" so hard + I find hard to believe he would believe that day3 wagons were both mafia with no other scum trying to form a wagon on a townie.


Could you explain how scum gumshoe does the work to save you in the end? If he actually was scum, he would see that you're right, and you'd be a huge danger tomorrow. Instead, he chooses to bus scum Onegu???!!!

Yes, let's laugh together :D

By the way, ritoky is a bit more likely town now since he jumped recklessly on Onegu D1. Could still be potentially a risky bet for credit, but doubt it really...

You'll also be discussing them in the next 3 days, so I don't understand why are you complying with lynching me now at this point.


Cause people I know are townies want you dead / : sure your way townier than hopeless and onegu, but nowhere near as townie as chrom or ritoky or bh or xat. So yeah, I dont paticularly care if you die cause I'm not lynching them / : and were going to have to lynch you eventually anyways. So unless theres some paticular reason why you need to live through the next 2 days when your probally gonna die on the third, I dont really care. Town wont be able to seriusly consider someone outside you three till you three are dead. so dems the braks.

Gumshoe you guys know why.

BH because he was always bringing reasons to call me town but he was wishy washy throghout the game. Then he decided I am mafia with Onegu. When I bring the case on gumshoe, he does everything to dismiss it when the association clearly points out to gumshoe being mafia with Onegu. Here is the proof BH has been dismissing my case without even reading it:

Ok, so it seems I'm dead today.

Some thoughts for you:

IF Onegu is mafia, gumshoe is always mafia with him. It should be pretty telling to you that gumshoe was strong townreading me, then decided to vote me to follow his townreads, but when I confronted him he decided to simply "Unvote" while still scumreading Onegu. Then he decided to vote me again over TONE LOL. Now he is voting Onegu, but just when the lynch is secured on me (he voted Onegu when I've reached majority with 5 votes). This is fucking scummy.

BUT if Onegu turns out to be town, gumshoe is always town because there is no reason to do so
many scummy moves when the main two wagons are town.

I will expand on this in a couple of minutes. But for me, gumshoe and Onegu are always mafia. I don't know how Vivax could fit in this team, tho.


i am trying to save your life right now you ungrateful shmuk : P chills out.


No you're not, and you're mafia. If for some reason I miraculously survibe and Onegu flips red, I hope you are prepared.


haha what?? are you serious

gumshoe is top town second only to me. he's been solving this game and working with people, writing cases and analyzing in a SUPER on point way (except with that weird rayn kill rationalization) all game. no way anyone can keep that up as scum


Did you read what I've brought on him?


not really, I don't feel like lynching him (and there's no way it's happening today). Furthemore, you're probably scum. I've mostly been interested in getting 1gu lynched but I'll take a look at it overnight and make thoughts if you really care. That's a promise. I can't even get how he'd be scum and do all this good work, but maybe your case explains that. It's certainly no loss to me to do some extra reading, I think we got this wrapped up like a chicken burrito

Onegu could hammer if it wasn't for ritoky????
Bussing Onegu delivers town cred (like the one you're giving gumshoe now)?
Bussing Onegu is okay because he was already looking bad and he would die at some point anyway??

I will counter-question you:

Why would you vote on A TOWN READ instead of a SCUM READ?
Simply as this.


Hm... Well, honestly, gumshoe had already said repeatedly that you were more of a null and unreliable regardless - forced lynch, kind of. I also entertained your lynch many times even though I thought you were more likely town than Onegu. But I'm glad he flipped scum now and we extended our playtime. Harder for scum to endure the extended pressure.

So how do you read Onegu and Hopeless?


scum, what else? Scummier than you by far in my op.


You'll also be discussing them in the next 3 days, so I don't understand why are you complying with lynching me now at this point.


Cause people I know are townies want you dead / : sure your way townier than hopeless and onegu, but nowhere near as townie as chrom or ritoky or bh or xat. So yeah, I dont paticularly care if you die cause I'm not lynching them / : and were going to have to lynch you eventually anyways. So unless theres some paticular reason why you need to live through the next 2 days when your probally gonna die on the third, I dont really care. Town wont be able to seriusly consider someone outside you three till you three are dead. so dems the braks.

Gumshoe you guys know why.

BH because he was always bringing reasons to call me town but he was wishy washy throghout the game. Then he decided I am mafia with Onegu. When I bring the case on gumshoe, he does everything to dismiss it when the association clearly points out to gumshoe being mafia with Onegu. Here is the proof BH has been dismissing my case without even reading it:

Ok, so it seems I'm dead today.

Some thoughts for you:

IF Onegu is mafia, gumshoe is always mafia with him. It should be pretty telling to you that gumshoe was strong townreading me, then decided to vote me to follow his townreads, but when I confronted him he decided to simply "Unvote" while still scumreading Onegu. Then he decided to vote me again over TONE LOL. Now he is voting Onegu, but just when the lynch is secured on me (he voted Onegu when I've reached majority with 5 votes). This is fucking scummy.

BUT if Onegu turns out to be town, gumshoe is always town because there is no reason to do so
many scummy moves when the main two wagons are town.

I will expand on this in a couple of minutes. But for me, gumshoe and Onegu are always mafia. I don't know how Vivax could fit in this team, tho.


i am trying to save your life right now you ungrateful shmuk : P chills out.


No you're not, and you're mafia. If for some reason I miraculously survibe and Onegu flips red, I hope you are prepared.


haha what?? are you serious

gumshoe is top town second only to me. he's been solving this game and working with people, writing cases and analyzing in a SUPER on point way (except with that weird rayn kill rationalization) all game. no way anyone can keep that up as scum


Did you read what I've brought on him?


not really, I don't feel like lynching him (and there's no way it's happening today). Furthemore, you're probably scum. I've mostly been interested in getting 1gu lynched but I'll take a look at it overnight and make thoughts if you really care. That's a promise. I can't even get how he'd be scum and do all this good work, but maybe your case explains that. It's certainly no loss to me to do some extra reading, I think we got this wrapped up like a chicken burrito

~ If ONEGU is MAFIA

Then gumshoe is 100% mafia.

1) Gumshoe started strong townreading me when I was under heavy suspicions. He took every piece of evidence he could find to call me town.
Then, today, he decided to vote me. His excuse was "I had to go" because all of his townies were suspecting me and he couldn't waste another day of discussion.
The problem here is: he was also scumreading Onegu way before and his townreads were putting ME and ONEGU as obvious scum partners. If he thought I was town before, wouldn't it be better if he asked his townreads to vote me since, well, THEY WERE ALL SCUMREADING ONEGU AND ONEGU WAS ALREADY A COUNTER WAGON?

This makes no sense under a town perspective. If I have someone I'm at least not sure is town or mafia and if I have someone that I am scumreading since way before, who would I vote? Obviously the scum read.

The excuse that his townreads were scumreading me and that they couldn't waste more discussion on me is bullshit because his townreads were also scumreading Onegu and whoever survives from the team they've made will also have to be discussed on later days. It simply doesn't make sense.

2) When I've confronted gumshoe, he decided to respond it with an UNVOTE.

WITH. AN. UNVOTE.

Let me tell you again.

His townreads had me and onegu as mafia. He decided to vote me who he thought was town. When I confront him, he gets convinced I shouldn't be voted. But instead of going against Onegu, he UNVOTES without voting HIS OWN SCUMREAD which is SHARED WITH HIS TOWNREADS. WHY?

3) Then he decides to vote me because he didn't like my tone.
This guy is simply saying that after ALL THE EVIDENCE, after ALL THE POSTS HE QUOTED FROM ME to call me town, he thinks I am mafia out of a TONE READ. Again, why not voting Onegu?

4) When I reach majority with 5 votes, he finally decided to vote Onegu. In other words, he only votes his scumread when his former townread is dying anyways.

There is no way gumshoe isn't mafia with Onegu.

But in the case he is...


~ If ONEGU is TOWN

Then gumshoe is 100% town because there is no way he does all these scummy things with both wagons being town.


Well if gumshoe ends up being scum, he really deserves a nomination for best plays of 2015 and the win :D


Don't pay attention to this but if 1G flips scum: GB and 1G are scum and Gummie is town, GB trying to cast suspicion on Gummie for some reaosn

Of course this is all unflipped association that should not be paid attention to

The problem is: I'm talking about flipped association. Care to read what I asked you to read?
Point out what is wrong on what I've brought.


yeah yeah chill out bro we're lynching 1G today anyways. Almost certainly he's gonna flip scum, and then you're gonna make some kind of asslike push on Gumshoe in an attempt to "look townie", then we lynch you and H1 and win the game



I could be wrong on BH though and be OMGUSing right now. But I find hard to believe he would try to dismiss my "please read" so hard + I find hard to believe he would believe that day3 wagons were both mafia with no other scum trying to form a wagon on a townie.


Could you explain how scum gumshoe does the work to save you in the end? If he actually was scum, he would see that you're right, and you'd be a huge danger tomorrow. Instead, he chooses to bus scum Onegu???!!!


Onegu could hammer if it wasn't for ritoky????
Bussing Onegu delivers town cred (like the one you're giving gumshoe now)?
Bussing Onegu is okay because he was already looking bad and he would die at some point anyway??

I will counter-question you:

Why would you vote on A TOWN READ instead of a SCUM READ?
Simply as this.


Hm... Well, honestly, gumshoe had already said repeatedly that you were more of a null and unreliable regardless - forced lynch, kind of. I also entertained your lynch many times even though I thought you were more likely town than Onegu. But I'm glad he flipped scum now and we extended our playtime. Harder for scum to endure the extended pressure.

GOD

XATALOS.

MY GOD.

Did you read what I've wrote? I mean, at all?


Didn't really bother reading it yet when gumshoe is so obviously town this game...

How about comparing the D2/D3 voting behaviours? Any interesting stuff when they're compared to each other with the assumptions of GB being town/scum?

Well tbh I think ritoky is cleared with Onegu's flip UNLESS he's been very set on bussing Onegu from the start... I mean, he didn't really hesitate much on either D1 or D3 to jump on Onegu.... A bit hard to believe the ritoky/Onegu team..

Actually yeah, I at least wouldn't mislynch GB in that situation.... Because it would look pretty bad for you if you were the one hammering him and he flipped town, and he'd probably be very easy to mislynch in the future regardless... So I don't think that point holds BH...

ritoky jumping ship from his traditional GB read when he could have stayed on it means he's not scum unless GB is.


True... If GB is town, ritoky is very likely town, because it would have been so easy to just stay on GB. Hard to believe that ritoky would abandon that chance to bring the game to LYLO. (still not 100% since this would give him a great lot of credibility, but very likely town anyway)

Right, but then we're going into 5-3 MYLO. Like, remember that at the time I was literally shenannying onto GB from yamato. There was a shenanny happening. Tons of people said "I think GB is scum, but I'm afraid yamato won't get modkilled. It's fine if he dies though." I think scum would have hammered. Think about what the thread was like in those moments-- don't just recall teh vote pattern, but the way things were happening and what was going on in-thread. One more vote on Bh's shenanny, that variosu people supported, wouldn't make you suspicions at all. I think scum would have done it.


I guess it's possible... But still not certain. The main benefit would be forcing town's hand by refusing them another "free" mislynch, I guess.... And limiting the amount of time the game would continue and information would accumulate.

Eh, maybe I'm misreading the situation but it looks to me like, if GB really IS town, there's a free mislynch there for scum to pick up at no cost.


I mean... If town GB was mislynched immediately, it would bring the game straight into MYLO. Town would no longer have the leisure to screw around, every day would have to be a scum lynch. Which is a lot harder I guess.

You need to also consider where scum was positioned day 2 : P I know hopeless was null on gb, wouldnt be too easy for him to hammer without getting wreked.


Ah, good point. We have the possibility, for example, that scum hopeless is just playing this like SUPER duper slow and wants to lurk all game and not get lynched. Many people are still opposed to an H1 lynch, even now.

Also he may not have even been around. I don't think that guy is even reading the thread tbh


Yeah. I at least know that if I was scum in that situation, I probably wouldn't vote for town GB. So that's not really a reason to clear me... But perhaps it could be for others? Hard to say.

Ok, so it seems I'm dead today.

Some thoughts for you:

IF Onegu is mafia, gumshoe is always mafia with him. It should be pretty telling to you that gumshoe was strong townreading me, then decided to vote me to follow his townreads, but when I confronted him he decided to simply "Unvote" while still scumreading Onegu. Then he decided to vote me again over TONE LOL. Now he is voting Onegu, but just when the lynch is secured on me (he voted Onegu when I've reached majority with 5 votes). This is fucking scummy.

BUT if Onegu turns out to be town, gumshoe is always town because there is no reason to do so
many scummy moves when the main two wagons are town.

I will expand on this in a couple of minutes. But for me, gumshoe and Onegu are always mafia. I don't know how Vivax could fit in this team, tho.


i am trying to save your life right now you ungrateful shmuk : P chills out.


No you're not, and you're mafia. If for some reason I miraculously survibe and Onegu flips red, I hope you are prepared.


haha what?? are you serious

gumshoe is top town second only to me. he's been solving this game and working with people, writing cases and analyzing in a SUPER on point way (except with that weird rayn kill rationalization) all game. no way anyone can keep that up as scum


Did you read what I've brought on him?


not really, I don't feel like lynching him (and there's no way it's happening today). Furthemore, you're probably scum. I've mostly been interested in getting 1gu lynched but I'll take a look at it overnight and make thoughts if you really care. That's a promise. I can't even get how he'd be scum and do all this good work, but maybe your case explains that. It's certainly no loss to me to do some extra reading, I think we got this wrapped up like a chicken burrito

~ If ONEGU is MAFIA

Then gumshoe is 100% mafia.

1) Gumshoe started strong townreading me when I was under heavy suspicions. He took every piece of evidence he could find to call me town.
Then, today, he decided to vote me. His excuse was "I had to go" because all of his townies were suspecting me and he couldn't waste another day of discussion.
The problem here is: he was also scumreading Onegu way before and his townreads were putting ME and ONEGU as obvious scum partners. If he thought I was town before, wouldn't it be better if he asked his townreads to vote me since, well, THEY WERE ALL SCUMREADING ONEGU AND ONEGU WAS ALREADY A COUNTER WAGON?

This makes no sense under a town perspective. If I have someone I'm at least not sure is town or mafia and if I have someone that I am scumreading since way before, who would I vote? Obviously the scum read.

The excuse that his townreads were scumreading me and that they couldn't waste more discussion on me is bullshit because his townreads were also scumreading Onegu and whoever survives from the team they've made will also have to be discussed on later days. It simply doesn't make sense.

2) When I've confronted gumshoe, he decided to respond it with an UNVOTE.

WITH. AN. UNVOTE.

Let me tell you again.

His townreads had me and onegu as mafia. He decided to vote me who he thought was town. When I confront him, he gets convinced I shouldn't be voted. But instead of going against Onegu, he UNVOTES without voting HIS OWN SCUMREAD which is SHARED WITH HIS TOWNREADS. WHY?

3) Then he decides to vote me because he didn't like my tone.
This guy is simply saying that after ALL THE EVIDENCE, after ALL THE POSTS HE QUOTED FROM ME to call me town, he thinks I am mafia out of a TONE READ. Again, why not voting Onegu?

4) When I reach majority with 5 votes, he finally decided to vote Onegu. In other words, he only votes his scumread when his former townread is dying anyways.

There is no way gumshoe isn't mafia with Onegu.

But in the case he is...


~ If ONEGU is TOWN

Then gumshoe is 100% town because there is no way he does all these scummy things with both wagons being town.


Well if gumshoe ends up being scum, he really deserves a nomination for best plays of 2015 and the win :D


Don't pay attention to this but if 1G flips scum: GB and 1G are scum and Gummie is town, GB trying to cast suspicion on Gummie for some reaosn

Of course this is all unflipped association that should not be paid attention to

The problem is: I'm talking about flipped association. Care to read what I asked you to read?
Point out what is wrong on what I've brought.


yeah yeah chill out bro we're lynching 1G today anyways. Almost certainly he's gonna flip scum, and then you're gonna make some kind of asslike push on Gumshoe in an attempt to "look townie", then we lynch you and H1 and win the game



I could be wrong on BH though and be OMGUSing right now. But I find hard to believe he would try to dismiss my "please read" so hard + I find hard to believe he would believe that day3 wagons were both mafia with no other scum trying to form a wagon on a townie.


Could you explain how scum gumshoe does the work to save you in the end? If he actually was scum, he would see that you're right, and you'd be a huge danger tomorrow. Instead, he chooses to bus scum Onegu???!!!


Onegu could hammer if it wasn't for ritoky????
Bussing Onegu delivers town cred (like the one you're giving gumshoe now)?
Bussing Onegu is okay because he was already looking bad and he would die at some point anyway??

I will counter-question you:

Why would you vote on A TOWN READ instead of a SCUM READ?
Simply as this.


Hm... Well, honestly, gumshoe had already said repeatedly that you were more of a null and unreliable regardless - forced lynch, kind of. I also entertained your lynch many times even though I thought you were more likely town than Onegu. But I'm glad he flipped scum now and we extended our playtime. Harder for scum to endure the extended pressure.


MY

GOD

XATALOS.

MY GOD.

Did you read what I've wrote? I mean, at all?


Didn't really bother reading it yet when gumshoe is so obviously town this game...


Xata.

Go.

And read.


I guess it's a possible tinfoil theory that he banked on ritoky not switching and you getting lynched because he unvoted and revoted (to give GB the edge with earlier 4 votes)...

But it's really quite tinfoily. I also don't think he would have gone to the effort of convincing people not to double lynch you on D2, or overall defend you so much, if you were town and he was scum. It would simply have been so easy to defend you slightly less, or not to convince people to spare you on D2 deadline, and you would be dead just like that... Giving him great credibility after defending you so much, and getting easily rid of one townie he would have difficulties lynching comfortably. But he did everything he could so that you were ultimately saved D2. On D3 he hesitated (understandably, because his previous strongest read was wrong) but still ended up saving you again.

I just don't think there's much scum motivation to go to such great efforts to save you on D2, then waffle on you D3. Well, I guess you could say that the difference could be Onegu's life on the line.... But truly, there was no saving Onegu anyway (he'd just go next after you) so why not just proceed like usual?

What's more, I had pretty much the same thoughts as gumshoe at the last hours. I considered voting for you many times. I just didn't end up ultimately doing so.... But he did, briefly.

In any case, gumshoe has been pretty much contributing the largest amount of actually helpful posts in the game.... And you can see that he's really constantly trying to figure the game out. If he's scum, he deserves to win IMO. We can't waste our last remaining mislynch on him.

I have a hard time believing it, but maybe the scumteam could be something like hopeless/Vivax/Onegu after all.....? Because if GB is town, Vivax has been basically pushing town all the time, and even tried to desperately save Onegu last deadline... But that's just a theory at this point. A game theory.

So yeah, if I die, I guess a good guide would be:

1) Lynch hopeless
2) If he flips scum, lynch Vivax/GB
3) If he flips town, lynch.... what?? :D

That should end the game, most likely?

I think Onegu's last readpost (Xatalos/hopeless) was extremely WIFOM.... He could still be scum with hopeless and have predicted that he'd die today? But his earlier posts should be somewhat useful at least.... Probably. And maybe more importantly people's attitudes towards Onegu?

But yeah... Especially if GB is town, ritoky can hardly be scum.... If GB is scum, it's still somewhat feasible.. If GB is town, Vivax has surprisingly high chances of being scum... If GB is scum, it's not very likely for Vivax to be scum (why expose yourself like that to save GB if both are town?)

Well, I think I'll be meeting you all in the post-game since absolutely nobody has tried to push me for some time... While everyone else has been pushed to some extent Or possibly BH, but who knows?

My last will would be for everyone to sheep BH/gumshoe as much as they can. They seem to know what they're doing here and both are 99% likely town IMO.

Yeah, exactly because he needs two mislynches to win, so he can't survive if we lynch into {GB/Hopeless/Vivax} in that world. He has to convince people on gumshoe or someone else.


Yeah... Well, will be interesting how the LYLO plays out. I'm quite sure the scumteam is in that new trio, but you can never be 100% certain.

Hmm... Just a thought... Maybe Vivax tried to get me to vote for GB because GB was generally a bit more suspected, some Onegu-lyncher could be shot at night, leaving Vivax/Onegu in a pretty strong position to win from the credit of GB's lynch and lessened suspicions on Onegu? hopeless would have probably been lynched next, and then maybe GB, but then it would be something like gumshoe/Chromatically/Vivax at LYLO... Vivax could have likely convinced Chromatically after helping to lynch GB... Hm.

im on phone so ill be more extensive later.
i think that if im right on gumshoe ill find more exples of tmi.


Well assuming GB is scum and you're town, you're pretty heavily scumsiding by pushing gumshoe recently...

If gumshoe is scum in this game, I'll happily give the win to him. I think he's been the most helpful player for town in the game overall. If such a player is scum, then town deserves to lose...

Let's see.... Totally hypothetical development of the game..

Xatalos is killed
hopeless is lynched
Blazinghand is killed
GlowingBear is lynched
Chromatically is killed

LYLO would be.... ritoky/Vivax/gumshoe? Not too bad actually, assuming that Vivax is actually scum out of these three.

If you believe otherwise (that at least one mafia was bussing), then you have to find a person on the Onegu wagon that couldn't have switched to secure the GB lynch.

gumshoe wrote a justification for voting GB, he could have kept his vote there.
BH was posting a lot about being worried about the lynch, he could have easily switched at the last second and people would be like "Oh BH, you silly goose! You and your shenannies!"
ritoky switched for basically no reason and hammered scum, he 100% could have just kept his vote on GB with perfect justification.
Xatalos was saying that he might be okay with lynching GB earlier in the day and he's been scumreading GB too, he could have switched.

The mafia team is EITHER GB + someone else OR {me/Vivax/Hopeless}. To believe otherwise, you have to think that scum willingly avoided, for basically no reason, lynching a town and saving Onegu, which would have put us into 4-3 LYLO.

If you disagree with this, you are saying that mafia WILLINGLY chose to kill their partner over GB, when they were already being read as town by everyone in the thread (BH, gumshoe, ritoky, Xatalos all were top towns). There was no reason to bus for town cred when they could have switched to put us in LYLO.


Yeah I think it's kind of unlikely for any of these players to be scum - IF GB is town, at least.

Though I think you're just giving Vivax ammunition for his scumread by hypothesizing something based on GB's town flip while scumreading him (not saying it's scummy, just that he'll probably bring it up soon enough lol)

Yeah I'd be pretty annoyed if I rolled Onegu and hopeless in my team

Btw I still have a lingering feeling that ritoky could be scum, but all the voting etc. evidence seems to point otherwise... Meh. There are enough pretty clear / reasonable townies here that everything should work out fine.

Something about how ritoky was so excited about being "confirmed" rather than lynching scum... lol :D dunno

But if any of gumshoe/BH ends up being lynched, I'll seriously facepalm -.- Chromatically too I guess. I think there's a slight chance for ritoky to be scum still. More likely it's in GB/hopeless/Vivax though

But yeah... My last words would be to kill hopeless with fire (can't really afford to leave him alive to LYLO even if he happened to be town), seriously consider GB/Vivax and also be vigilant about ritoky, as I still can't shake the feeling it's not impossible for him to be scum. Will just have to see what these people do in the following days.

Yeah, I guess that's a reasonable way to see it...

Basically scum can only be catched when they make mistakes, and town can only be mislynched when they make mistakes. If everyone plays perfectly, it would just be the same as RNG lynching every day. I guess it's an achievement in itself to establish your innocence, even if your reads are unreliable.

You guys are also saying that Onegu, when he can't back, voted on the third scum member of your #dreamteam, saw he was getting lynched anyway then voted me and begged ritiky to vote me instead of just rolling over and dying. Just because, you know, he wanted to survive over his scum partner.

Sigh


Onegu was hilariously ineffective, and suspiciously kept his vote OFF of you until he was sure it wouldn't make a difference. seems straightforwards to me


Thats not fair ) : the vote was 5 4, 1 change woulda made the dif. Also lets say vivax is scum, this was him just before the finish.

Xata get your vote on GB PLEASE


he was pushing last sec to get xata or someone else to change, basically begging. I could see this going on between scum in qt.

Show nested quote +
Vivax:"Onegu wtf are you doing, were 1 vote away from lylo if you just get the fuck off hopeless!"

Onegu:"Ok man fine, chill out!

Vivax:" No FUCK YOU and hopeless, and fuck rels for chaining you cannons around my legs and sending me to the bottom of the sea!"


LOL
