In a world where Rels is town, does a Xatalos/Artanis/TBD team make sense? Food for thought and for future reference.

This is hard. I voted no, but quite ironically it wasn't because of Rels. Now I might have to double back on Artanis and make sure I didn't miss anything else.

From a town mindset Rels scumreading me could also be the result of him not understanding Resistance, which is why I ignored any interactions between the two of us. For example, my talking about teams one round in advance is something I do in the real game and especially as resistance. (At least in those games I've yet to be criticised for doing so if it IS a bad strategy.)

I said yes. If the mission fails, there's definitely an Xata/Artanis chance.

Reason why I say that is because I suggested this team a while back. Not voting yes will look bad on my end anyways, plus if Artanis is mafia, then it was an easy decision for him to insert into team.

Alright #1242 from Rels is pretty towny as well. Prior he had the same thought on SL/Artanis for the mission that failed (before it failed) and obviously I felt the same. NAI at worst, towny at best.

The concept of Rels pushing townleaders is possible given his scum game so for now I consider that NAI....almost through with this filter.

Not sure how the others voted on this team, but I'm hoping for now it fails. 20 more minutes...

Sidenote: Should have time on and off tomorrow to keep playing. Tuesday's workday however is looking very bad though

It makes very little sense.


What would be the mafia motivation to suggest a team with a less optimal chance of success here?

If HtS is mafia it comes down to this:
1) the team of HtS/Xatalos/rayn gets yay'd; me and Xatalos have "almost definitely confirmed scum", which suddenly makes everything HtS says after that a possibility of a big fuckup. She also needs to argue why Xatalos is scum.
2) the team of HtS/kita/rayn gets yay'd; She can actually more conveniently argue that kitaman is scum, because other people think kitaman is scum aswell. She don't even really need to argue, she can just +1 on the points. (the contrary to (1) is that i am not 100% arguing against her)
3) the team of HtS/kita/rayn get's nay'd (which is very very likely in the first place); she doesn't out herself, and passes the turn onto someone else -- she "looks better" to you, which increases her possibilities of getting picked later on as she is "right".

Personally i see the scum motivation in (2) and (3) over (1). If i was at HtS' position i would definitely pick either (2) or (3) over the possibility (1), since regardless of who is scum in this game at that time (and even now) the town is not working very well together.

I don't have much to say to your big post kita. I just disagree.
I suggest you go read Rels' scumgames to see what he is capable of:
Season of the Witch II[/ur]
Battle of Drams

Basically the cases he makes look "good" but they are boring. lol, i can't explain that better.
Like here Superbia and to some extent HtS are like furious and spit flames everywhere (like BM in SotW game) when getting into argument with Rels. Rels is just.. boring, and the reasoning is boring. And he makes conclusions that don't make any sense, at all.

And here is what he thinks about busing in this setup:
On November 05 2015 01:51 raynpelikoneet wrote:
If you read his filter, rayn always considers teams when he puts out suspicions. But there, he considers us both possible scums, when in his giant post he said that about busing:
The best way of playing Resistance, at least what i have figured out is to play the first cycle as you were playing mafia. What Rels said is completely untrue, just because if mafia does not look town they cannot bus, everything is situational. The way to play is to give out reads, town and scumreads. While townreads are "more important" here, the fact is that mafia doesn't want an all town team to go on a mission, that should be obvious. Now if scum are bussing, it hinders their changes of getting a mission where there is scum on it to go through, just because they have to downvote missions (unless they themselves are the scum there).

Now if mafia busses, and there happens to be a town leader, they might find themselves in a situation where they must accept an all town team, because otherwise they give themselves away. You can't just have three scumreads and when a mission goes up where all the people there are townread by you, you just can't say "i am nay-voting this team, because...".

So if doesn't think scum would bus this game; but he's considering HTS to be a possible scum, when he's convinced I'm scum. If both reads were light reads, that could explain it, as only one of them could be true in his mind; but rayn is convinced since pretty early in the game I am scum. This fact + his view on bussing should make him view HTS as town.


That's just unflipped association though? I don't think it should completely remove a scumread on either of you, even if it could maybe cause him think that you're not both scum together.

So SL is considered town because "all the scummy people don't want to vote for him"; but this consideration don't extend to HTS being pushed pretty hard by rayn's second hardest scumread after Shockey ?


I completely missed this post. This is a really good response.

Alright I'm done with Rels' filter. Now I have to turn some attention to Xatalos and Artanis. Particularly our resident protoss.

The third....ah shit. Thing is, I saw Rels'/yours (Shockey) explanation for saying they are scum, I felt your reasons were more NAI for reasons I previously explained and Rels....eh I see where he's coming from but I really do feel rayn is town.

No here is why arta is probably scum:
- voting yes to a failure team while not in said failure team
- his read on me is super convenient and is based on nothing strong
- he nominated a team without me; rayn tells him to nominate me; he argues that he thinks I am scum, then he nominates me anyway


If Lex is mafia, from a mafia perspective it might be easy to set Rels up as the fall guy. And he could be taking advantage of rayn being wrong. When rayn is wrong (reference Drams) chaos ensues.

Time to check that part of the game.

So our lovely Lex decided to place someone he was scumreading on his team at rayn's suggestion and then vetoed the team anyhow. Interesting. Food for thought.

So at least 2 if not all 3 scummers voted no to this. Might have been to disguise the likely scummer(s) on this team?

rayn's phase will be interesting.

I think there's a definite possibility there was a mafia member on that team.

Xata/SL (???)

Change in reads:

Shockey if you are still there and if you upvoted the team, I see Rels obviously there as a new townread, but if you thought scum Artanis was possible why upvote the team? I know you said you were struggling to decide but...

Ah was in another tab, then what was your purpose (as stated in the last post) of you upvoting the team? Especially with one sabotaged mission already accounted for.

So yeah, I suggested a team I didn't actually want to see who was going to vote yes on it, gauge responses and all that. I figure after the first mission fails we want to gather some more information anyway. Like Rayn said, there'd be limited information on submitting a team with me/him/Superbia/Kitaman as someone like sicklucker would have an excuse to vote no without really backing it up. Now, we get to hear justifications for things.

OH SHIT. I just read post #1962. No I misread with all those line breaks. Disregard that last post then.

And then I see this explanation from Artanis.

Show nested quote +
I have explained why I think you're likely scum. The gist of it comes down to how it seems like you're just throwing shit at everyone and seeing what sticks, and how you seem to be posting just to be posting. That "vote analysis" thing I dissected was an example of that.


If I'm following those line breaks correctly, oh god that is a bad explanation from Artanis. I don't agree with that explanation.

Why don't you agree with the explanation?
