We need to go back through rayn/Xatalos and look at their gameplay from a potential mafia lens. And then do likeliness/percentage play analysis. That's the way to go.

Kita had some case on Xata, although Rels metaed him by activity and the activity supported him being town. I'd follow up the depth of Xata's reads - the more shallow, the more likely mafia.

And then rayn, looking at his play from a mafia lens...I know he was going at it with Rels and going at it with I think Kita?

Time for filter diving.

One idea that I'm toying with is a Xata + Artanis team.

It made much more sense for a town Xata to nominate Artanis from his position I would think. Him not doing so may suggest that he didn't want a double spy team day one. Need to evaluate if his reasoning to nominate SL over Artanis makes sense.


I remember this - this I didn't like. But rayn kept saying no no the scummers (his reference I presume to Rels/Superbia/me) didn't want SL and wanted Artanis instead. it was rayn who really pushed SL at the end.

Read the operative post - Fidei explicitly says there was one sabotage - or do you mean there were two people on the mission and one passed and one failed?

Alright Artanis if you think that's the case, they cannot communicate through a mafia QT, how would they know whether to pass or fail when there's a partner on the mission? I'm just saying from a likeliness standpoint.

Alright, going into tinfoil rayn land - the first thing that jumps out at me was the "alternate strategy" of getting multiple scum on the team as opposed to the conventional strategy of trying to get the first mission to pass. I forget who accused rayn of mafia motivation but this was one potential point to raise against him.

Second point is the conflicting read on Superbia where he was nitpicking Xatalos over scum being at a disadvantage (paraphrasing) whereas Kita took the opposite position on this. Saying that Superbia was stretching it.

Does it make sense for a town rayn to read Superbia that way? That's probably the first question to think hard on.

We all know that when rayn is town, he's nitpicky over semantics. As mafia....I honestly don't remember. I know the rage level is the same, the last mafia game I recall (TL LXX before he replaced out) I don't recall a lot of nitpicking but I might need to refresh my memory, that game was in March. Ugh.

Does anyone else recall any notable rayn scum games where he was close to replicate town play?

First wave of reads:

Okay i am gonna stop this conversation now as it's waste of time.

I think both of Superbia and Xatalos are town. I don't see any reason to think otherwise.
Artanis and sicklucker said nothing alignemnt indicative.
Rels and kitaman are suspicious. Rels because he is refusing to read people. kitaman because he is talking about setup which is a big no-no in this game unless you are scum and want to give advice to your teammates, like "this is something i would not recommend to do". And that's all he said, except for;

I'd say people stating that they are happy that they didn't roll mafia typically increases their chances of being mafia, though I don't know if that actually holds true.

So; "I think people who claim town are more likely to be scum, but i don't really know if that's true"
hmmm... what?!?!

IDK Shockey try playing the game when you're dead tired on a Friday late night after work and stuff, my bet is you probably won't be thinking terribly clearly either. Last three days this is the only time I can play...

Yeah, let's go with that. If SL appears worse by tomorrow, it can be turned over to Artanis anyway.

So the risk is really pretty small.

I'm also of the mentality this game is almost lost especially if Shockey is somehow town. My getting disregarded for missions means town are starting 5v3 (instead of 6v3) so that's where that is coming from. If he actually is town then it's 4v3. Even with my assumption that we have a scum Shockey is correct, considering the first mission failure and general (not total) reluctance to include any of the people from the first mission, mathematically we're almost done, though discouraged at the moment I'm not going to give up yet.

I was in the middle of reading rayn's filter when I collapsed in bed. As for the points I raised on rayn, I am NOT scumreading rayn, but when the first mission fails I want to make sure that we don't blindly go with a xata/rayn team and then fail mission 2. rayn, I know from history you never take well to being scumread, but that's really all that was trying to achieve. Kita is saying my first two points don't make rayn mafia - that's fine - but I'd rather have some discussion on that then blindly stumbling into the next team.

People seem to be scumreading me either because they are not clear on how I am playing this game, or in the case of Rels if he is somehow town, not familiar with how Resistance works.

Kita or whoever asked me about why I voted SL - I was 60/40 on him, and I certainly would have voted him over say Rels.

Alright, lemme just plod along here and see what I can do.

HTS could you go over why you had a town read on SL again? What do you think about SL's reads on Xata and Superbia?

Also, if you prefered Xata/rayn/artanis over Xata/rayn/SL why not simply reject the nomination? You knew Aratanis was the next mission leader, right?


Eh, hold on I forgot this part, that was the part I didn't have time to attend to last night, even though I thought SL satisfactory answered my own question.

Hm... What's your opinion on the team while we're still both here, rayn? Is sicklucker the most likely to be town as the third option? Or do you think it's possible to locate the whole scumteam with enough accuracy at the moment for the other plan Personally I'm not that confident atm...

I would pick Superbia atm tbh. I think he's most likely to be town after you based on his latest posting.

Why are you considering sicklucker over Artanis? Is there a reason for you to believe Artanis could be scum?

Also you have to understand that even if me and you think sicklucker is town that doesn't really mean anything if the rest of the people downvote the team. It's just a wasted effort.

I am considering Artanis (or even kita -- based on what he / if he responds to me before deadline) just because Rels cannot downvote the team, and regardless of his affiliation it is a good thing assuming Artanis is town.

Like this is the main reason why i think HtS played really weirdly at the end of the first nomination.
She thinks both you and kita are town but she picks the person that is least likely to get yay-voted in the team.
It makes very little sense.

Like sure i could try to nominate sicklucker/Artanis/Superbia because i think they are all town. Does that team ever get picked? No. So why even do that?

You somehow just completely forgot about these posts right?


Last two days I had a grand total of 1 hour (maybe a little extra) to play this game - it's very likely I didn't even get a chance to read/refresh these posts.

Honestly I need to go through Xatalos anyways and what Kita said regarding SL is probably indicative, although SL is difficult for me to follow as either alignment unless I ask him 20 questions so meh...

Kita - at the moment, I think sicklucker upvoting the team (based on his read on Xatalos) looks to be suboptimal rather than spy play, but I'll take another look at your post.

Its also not me being biased the chart says were the top 3 towns more or less as no one scum reads us. I know you town read artanis so from your pov if your town submitting that team makes sense.

No one understands the logic of putting yourself in the team better then me but you also need that team to pass and its only attempt 2 of 5 so people are still very picky like me. Also if the said mission passes it would make a likely town circle of 4 people rather then 3 im not totally sure the mechanics but that seems like a good spot to be in.


Hmmm somewhat dangerous sentiment if we might be collectively wrong on one player. Eh....could be reading too much into this.

But in post 917, he says he's going to veto any Xatalos (I assume he infers on the team Xatalos being on the team). So how does he know or realise - from his own POV - he wouldn't submit a scumbuddy and then goes to say that it's a "likely" town circle of 4 instead of 3 when it's possible (again I bring this point up from before) that someone who passes a first mission who is spy can always fail a subsequent mission later.

If he doesn't trust Xatalos on a team and then suggests Artanis wouldn't have the balls to fail it then he jumps to a likely town circle of 4 people....

....it's quite illogical.

Mafia motivated? Thoughts?


IF XATA puts up 3 towns and the mission passes without putting up himself. this like 100% proves hes town and thats why I suggested he do it. kinda annoyed he didnt do it but other things suggest hes town so ill go with it.

Xata town read all 3 of us so I was very curious if he would do it. its kind of suspect he didnt tbh but im town reading him on other things

Like if your town your so stupid I dont want either of you on the next mission and theres no way you should.

Thats why xata is the scum here. HE WANTS RAYN ON THE MISSION

from xatas pov one of me or rayn is mafia. so rayn is mafia 50% of the time. and he wants rayn on the mission...

Like no one can have that good of a town read


The progression makes sense at least for the Xata read - need to review the Superbia read.

For the amount of games you've played on TL, it still surprises me you're completely oblivious to the fact that townies do illogical/suboptimal things from time to time.

So your explanation for doing illogical things is that "townies do illogical things"?


Not all the time, but I'm saying it happens, and looking at my filter it should be pretty damn obvious context-wise as to why I'm playing suboptimally. If you want to dismiss that, that's on you. Honestly if this were a lynch game, my getting lynched would tell you something just as what happened when the first two people in Drams got mislynched and you nearly went off the deep end - to use an example coolTLname being very new to our way of doing mafia.

Context, which you habitually disregard - no it doesn't make you mafia but this is just something that is characteristic of your gameplay in general.
