Rels, now I think I see what you are saying. You are saying that Fecalfeast engaged in some sort of soft pushing on DYH.

DYH hardly touched FF, if at all. double checking his filter.

Alright, Rels, I think you have a valid point here. I'm reading the filter and it's lately solo focus on disformation.

Trfel has since flipped town.

DYH, I have a question for you.

Let me give you this hypothetical scenario.

You are town. Let's say disformation is lynched, and he flips town.

Who is likely to be scum in that situation and why?

Can you make an argument for either of them making the plays they have as mafia? Any voting arguments or motives from those two in your own words? I haven't seen much in the way from you, from others yes, but not from you. (If you have, just quote it, thanks.)

Town
Shining - He was winning townie plaudits for his fight with Palmar, but rather than carry it on (and continuing to crap up the thread) he stopped (or at least tried to) and gave a good read post at #229. I like his read on dis, which I agree with. He asks Kush and Moosy to do more, at a stage where the better Mafia play would have been to ignore them and let town coalesce towards a "lynch all idiots" lynch. (Disclaimer: I previously called him out for not stopping the fight, but a re-read of his filter shows he was trying to stop it but Palmar wouldn't let it go.)

Trfel - Rels is right, for someone with over 3k posts Trfel sure apologises a lot. He seems to have some sort of reason for his early LS read, which I don't really care about. I actually like is read on Rels "why is he just throwing shit everywhere." Maybe town side of null. His later posts show quite nuanced reasoning. Moved to town for now, otherwise mostly everyone would be null

Dis - he and Trfel are playing similarly in my view. Both reading the thread, giving thoughts relatively fearlessly. Nothing that particularly jumps out as scummy. Lean read.

Null
Damdred - underwhelmed by his reads, which seem to mostly have been of Shining. Need to filter dive. No sense in lynching today.

Damdred - whole filter is super underwhelming. Says he has town reads, but then just gives me and Shining without and further explanation. Lacklustre but posts come off as condescending. Scum side of null but wouldn't lynch yet.

HTS - I am scared of a Mafia Dani, and that is probably colouring my read of her. One thing I'm not sure of is why she voted for DYH having just excoriated kush for his dumbass post about voting for Rels.

Palmar - his entire first act was fighting with Shining. He made his point, and I agreed with it. But he kept pushing and pushing beyond when it was reasonable. I also didn't like that he called my first post "fine" and "null" but at another point said I was a "tow read". Says he doesn't want to lynch into me, then later says I'd be an okay lynch? Huh? I had him in Mafia, but his last few reads on Damdred and

Rels - I'm all over the place on Rels. I've made the point that Mafia Rels tends to buddy harder than he is here. But in this game he seems to be talking in complete parallel to the thread, raising points others aren't but not engaging in the same sort of manner I would expect from a town Rels. But I actually really like his DYH read and vote.

Mafia

LS - his entry list was all nulls ("I need more time on Moosy" -- no shit!) and basic basic points that display no particular thought. #431 says the game is hard but hasn't really given a read on anyone? O

Useless
Kush - he is going to have to do a lot to get back from "not changing my Rels vote even though he might be town because changing votes is hard"
Moosy - only sensible post is pushing Shining on his read of me. When he'd explained it like 8 times and I'd only made one post.
DYH - Lots of town-reads and afk promises. Hardly encouraging. Was not really a fan of his Trfel read.
Onegu. It's O-word dude. Hands up if you're surprised.



I have a bit of trouble following his LS progression after that.
Like he thinks LS is scum and then votes kush because kush's progression on LS (who he thinks is scum) is scummy?

Also if I was scum I would 100% have shot Dani. Gameplay regardless, scum Fidei shoots HTS n1 every game. Every time. So there's that.

Bold part for smiles.

After that he talks a bit about a possible LS/HtS team. Seems a bit focused on certain persons. But he admitted to that earlier.


His probing of NM seems town.

Not sure how "quite a while" translates to "my last mention of him is like super early D2 with a town read", but at least he is looking at more ppl than HtS,NM,LS and Trfel now.


So here we have a bunch of trees.
Let mediate a bit on the forest though.

Yes he was suspicious of HtS early on. Did he push her hard? No.
He seemed very sure about LS being scum. Did he push him? No. Does he vote him? No.
He is very focused on a small group on people. Maybe trying to pick one out of the misslynch list? The reads on those people are also kinda constant. Like the scum read on LS.
Promised to look at DYH, did play dota instead.
While I like his interactions with NM, interactions with other ppl seem to lack a bit.
Did he actually push anyone so far?

So I'd say his desire to solve the game doesn't seem to be very present. Possible vote candidate.


LS is kinda hard for me to read, probably need to play a few games with him. But most of his play here doesn't look like a solvent to this game. Kinda irks that he gets so much town reads for screaming around at EoD cause that should be pretty easy to fake.
The Rels <> FF interactions didn't look so hot either.

Probably need to recheck these three and the forest they planted this game to really decide who the #2 would be. Will try to do so tomorrow afternoon.

Fidei is falling off, but it's a 50/50 between real life, which tbf it's the holidays. Whatever.

Nothing to me has screamed scummy except the Dani softing d2 (if he should be scum).

It has to be one of you and Rels. In what universe does mafia not solidly vote together on a lynch, given that town was so hopelessly fractured (in part my bad).

The thing I don't understand is how the VCA, in my mind, massively implicates either Rels or Alex. But neither seems to think that it could possibly be the other. ???


the position has been explained to James twice that mafia wouldn't give themselves so easily away unless it was mylo or lylo with a confirmed mafia already on the same wagon with them.

Is Fidei bad or mafia here? Looking at the votes alone you can argue that LS thinks scum played suboptimally. But both Rels and I have reasons to townread the other besides the voting. The second part is contradictory.

Granted James is out of touch with the thread. Hmmmm.

I'm going to say for now, suboptimal and pressed for time, as opposed to mafia.

I don't want to vote for dyh until I see a response from him to my question (post 2144) and Rels' latest argument against him.

He's an American so I do not expect that response to come for awhile. It's 2am here, so I will sort it out in the morning.

If Shining is mafia, he'll never be caught. If Shining is mafia he's playing a spectacular game. IDK.

If it's 2-1 lylo and Shining is alive I would lynch him. That would be my instinct.

Would like the bold part more, if he actually would have voted FF. But yeah. Fidei86 also put a bit of work into the game after the small case on him was done. So I think he is unlikely scum.

In a world were town is wrong on both DYH and me, there might exist a crazy tinfoil, where Rels is the last scum and he has me in his pocket + helps me stay focused on DYH so he can misslynch us both. Like:

If Dani flips town, I am giving her my next two weeks' salary and I'll take a mislynch because I am that fucking bad at understanding someone I know extremely well in real life.

There is zero fucking chance she is town. Zero.

Rels, I can understand you being hesitant because I'm not being "analytical" but this is HTS we are talking about here. She is a weasel when she is Mafia.

From the top of my head I feel like there is a certain lack on follow ups. I also remembered playing with town!HtS in my first game (NSM9), where she was interrogating me inquisiton style EoD1 and D2 to get some conclusions from me. That kind of fire is a bit missing here I feel.
So her coming back to follow up on the promised re-reads of people and throwing out some reads, would be great.


I think HtS is null at best.
Since NM is starting to gain a bunch of townie brownies and I believe that his read on HtS is godtier, HtS has a pretty high chance of flipping scum.

...shit. Am I tunneled on DYH?

No DYH is probably scum.


Don't think that is likely though.

Who is likely to be scum in that situation and why?


Rels, definitely rels. I'm actually considering him being potentially more likely than disfo.

Trfel's death points his direction. He has push cases and suspicions almost exclusively on townies. He defends or doesn't interact with scum.

Look at night kills:

Damdred- Read as townie by majority of players, killed when he has few scumreads or pushes going.
Palmar- Difficult lynch, killed before he starts really solving the game
Trfel- Essentially confirmed town, no reads going into the day

The common thread for every kill has been someone who would be difficult to lynch but could also come at the game with a new perspective. This implies that scum is less threatened by the current sentiment of the thread and more worried about an unknown element coming in and screwing things up.

The person that fits this mentality the best atm is Rels. There is the added benefit that Trfel was also one of the most likely among us to suspect and push Rels.

It is a bit WIFOM, but adding the fact that disfo hammered ff to the fact that Shining is still with us, my money is on Rels flipping scum over disfo.

1 - the whole day I was suspicious of Trfel.
2 - at EOD he came back voting me with no explanation; left; than came back changing his mind again and voted FF. I found that suspicious.
3 - I have DYH as scum, and I found his behaviour towards Trfel at EOD maybe partner indicative; he said he was OK to lynch Trfel; didn't vote him; and went back on disfo.

=D these are not reason that makes someone scum: pushing townies and "he is townread so he killed undecided townies".

What are your reasons for reverting your read on disfo ? Last time I checked your reasons for scumreading him were:

I haven't completely flipped on you. I am still quite suspicious. Unless shining gets in here and helps me, that doesn't matter at the moment. I said my case was weaker because I realized that I wasn't able to recognize that trfel could have had that much interaction with HtS and still be either alignment. He had interactions with Breshke last game that even knowing both of their alignments, I wouldn't have found it suspect. That means the back half of my reasoning on you is not as sound as it needed to be to push your lynch.

The smart play for town if you do not have any good scumreads of your own at the end of the day is to sheep the scumreads of those you believe to be town, which is exactly what I did. And yes, Disfo gets lumped into my towngroup. That was my gut read from the earlier filter reading. Not particularly useful when I was searching for scum as I was choking on town/null reads and unable to find things I wanted to pursue. It was useful in deciding where to place my vote at the end of the day.

Hey everyone.

A few thoughts on my end before I head to bed -

Nulls on Rels/Damdred regarding setup discussion/speculation as I feel those are types of posts that can be made as either alignment (and such Rels' scumreads on Do and Damdred could also fall under the same category) by players who know general gameplay well enough.

Trfel's comments on LS I have a mixed reaction on. I don't like the following phrasing and here's why:

Show nested quote +
Second, why would does this make me mafia in any way? Like, why does the fact that LightningStrike posted that he wouldn't be here at the start of the game have any bearing on my alignment?


When I read this, I read it as trying to absolve responsibility from self regardless of actual intention (baiting in this case) - it's not what LS posted that is the problem, it's what you (Trfel) did about it. That reaction makes me think whether you are trying to cover something up.

Moosy is something I am going to need more time reading given his general playstyle. No read on him so far obviously.

disformation hasn't made any reads yets with the Trfel/Damdred interaction going on, and I think that might have been about when he left the thread. Answered Trfel's question, but from recalling the last student game, he did take more stances in that game.

So far probable scumleans on Trfel/disformation.

Fidei was someone who falls off hard as mafia, first post based on his SOTW 2 performance (mafia) is going to weigh in at NAI. The ONLY thing that jumps out at me from Fidei's post is why he commented on Rels being towny but Damdred not being so even though both talked about the setup, and Damdred seems to make more of a point in trying to get town to coalesence.

Moving to Palmar/Shining...

Right now, I need to flesh out Trfel a little more, same for disformation and LS. The lynch list right now is kush/DYH, Onegu is straight policy, but there's got to be an active mafia somewhere.

Palmar is probably town but this is a gut feel based on how he proceeded with the case.

First of all, really sorry that you aren't feeling well. Hope you can recover soon.

Why did you vote for DoYouHas instead of kushm4sta?
Why didn't you include LightningStrike in the lynch list? Now that he's (at least mostly, I think?) answered your questions, what do you think about him?
Why did your read on me (Trfel) change?

Looking at 346/349 -

LS, I'm not referring to meta. Let's make sure I'm not misunderstanding you here.

I'm not talking about Palmar's tone in general. I'm talking about his case. If you read the context differently, then tell me how you interpreted that.

You are saying that he's town because his tone is serious and from 349 it's based on meta. Okay fine, but regardless of meta, why would Palmar's case NOT be serious? What I'm trying to say here is that you are townreading him for a poor reason.

I didn't say it wasn't serious? Anyways the way he argued Shining like I said had a serious tone plus like said he did a very similar thing to me in Metal Mini when I was fighting him and felt frustrated with him. It took me a bit of arguing to get him to townread me in that game because I was still a newbie lol.... So it a little both but more towards personal experience with him.


Argh, no. I am saying that you said his tone is serious. In any case, you want to say you are giving a personal read towards him.

Alright, I still think this is a bad read because like I said before Palmar really can't be done off one read, but now that I've fleshed it out I don't think you are mafia for this. Still need to read the rest of your filter in conjunction with Trfel/Damdred when I return though.

Yeah....

"I don't think you are mafia for this" means that Half the Sky is not scum reading you for one specific thing in your filter. As in, she could be scum reading you for the entire rest of your filter. And that's not a townread on that one thing either.

Does anyone know if LightningStrike is generally this self-conscious as town with regards to other people's townreads on him? To make a big jump like this and try to assume everything is a townread?

Because this is making me doubt my earlier town lean on him.


The above is correct. This also partially helps answer Trfel's question to me - LS was not in my lynch list (and relative to the rest of the thread) because D1, similar to SOTW, if there's something that is not clicking I have to flesh his reads out. He was a scumlean based on the stuff he said, I hashed out to make sure I was understanding LS, and it was back to null pending the interactions with other people in the thread. There was a part where he mentioned Trfel casing Damdred (and I still have to go back and look at that, Christ) which would give some indication as to Trfel/Damdred/LS alignments to some extent. Obviously need to catch up on the rest of his filter. Not lynching him until I read and feel otherwise.

Trfel, I mentioned a post where I scumleaned you initially for the comment you made on LS. I made an explanation as to why, it was something along the lines of tone and not wanting to take responsibility. There was something else that you mentioned, you answered it, but if you answered that first concern, show me the post where you did. There's a very good chance I missed it. Again, I failed to analyse you v Damdred.

DYH over kush - It was part read on Trfel and part lack of followup on Trfel at that time when he commented on Shining/Palmar, which I felt could have come from either alignment. Also I wanted to press him for more reads, and I recall I did that somewhere. Obviously need to check his filter again and see what he's done since. I know I did not scumread him on activity especially since it's my first game with him and I don't know offhand if he's a lurky player. In any instance, I put both in a lynch list and I gave my reasons for not liking kush.

Also I think it was you Trfel, whoever it was said that scum doesn't know the setup. This is not true. Look at the day one post. There is a list of 4 setups so that is part of where my statement came from.

Additional comments/followups from what I saw from skimming the thread:
Rels - posting game details has to be done regardless of whatever else games I'm playing. It either needed to be done when signups went up or very soon after. I was queued in, it had to get done. Take that as you will.

Disformation - looking at your response to my last question right now, also did you have a question for me? You said a few times you were looking through my filter.

Trfel - did you answer my questions regarding distinguishing activity between DYH and kush? (post 391, again if I missed it point it out) If you looked into Rels based on your last response to me, what did you think of him? (same deal if I missed it)

Should hopefully be able to move forward after this. Let me see who is up for lynch and weigh in...


4. Trfel, DYH, Kush, Rels, Disfo

-
Ok. So she is putting Trfel and Disfo in pretty much all of her lists. By my above heuristic this makes one or both of them more likely to be mafia.

However, take a look at her interactions with the people on her lists in her filter and see if any of them feel out of place compared to the others. Compared to her interactions with Trfel, Rels, Damdred and her suspicion of me and Kush, her interaction with Disfo is very bland, flat. She starts with vague scumlean but the rest of her interaction reads more like she is inviting him to interact with her for the sake of interacting.

-
I think the cross between these two methods is a pretty good reason to scumread Disfo. Please look into it yourselves.

Kush is confirmed town.
I'm town. Also, her scumread on me was consistent and something that she came back to more than once.


Then you said it was not quite as scum indicative as you initially thought:

My to-do before the deadline is to reread the cases on Trfel and Fid, read Fid's filter and decide the more likely scum.

So:
Your "initial instinct" on disfo was town; you only had him as scum after a HTS' list posts analysis, which you quickly said afterwards that it was not really valid. What reason did "initial instinct" refer to when you voted disfo at EOD3 in this post?

Reading this, you actually never had a reason to vote disfo besides HTS' posts and intercation analysis, which you said yourself was not super indicative of anything. You never bought up anything that disfo wrote against him. You said you would filter dive him at one point:
