Town Damdred + Show Spoiler + Tone read and meta read. Either way, his alignment will be resolved soon enough. If he is town (which I'm pretty sure he is), he'll force mafia to shoot him. If not, he's mafia. ExO_ + Show Spoiler + Seems very emotional and invested in the game, and has a lot of strange theories. I should probably look through his filter more carefully at some point, but now isn't the time. Koshi + Show Spoiler + Feels like town due to effort. Again, if he's town mafia will be forced to shoot him. ritoky + Show Spoiler + Eh, I'm bored of writing about townreads. I don't really know why he's town, but he is. I think. Kinda. Anyway. Coagulation Town Lean Holyflare + Show Spoiler + His filter is too long for me to read through completely, but I feel that Holyflare is town. The main reason for this is that his posting tone/direction has changed over the course of the game, and it felt like it changed at a time that was town-motivated, not at a time that was mafia-motivated. For now, anyway. Onegu + Show Spoiler + His tone feels a bit relaxed and free, which seems more like his town play than his mafia play. But I really don't think that mafia would claim a red check just because they feel like it, that gains a ton of extra attention and is a ton of risk (the best result being killing someone who was already lynchbait). Furthermore, his afk since claiming the red check makes me feel that this play wouldn't be from mafia!Onegu doing it purely for the fun factor, as Onegu loves playing scum and I'd feel like he'd want to be posting while he was "confirmed" town due to his claim. sicklucker + Show Spoiler + I like how he started out the game with a scumread on Holyflare. This doesn't feel like something that mafia would be inclined to do. Sicklucker seems to genuinely care about the game, one example being how adamant he was about not lynching Vivax until later. MoosyDoosy + Show Spoiler + If he were mafia, he would play more seriously, and he wouldn't have risked not voting. At least, I think, anyway. GlowingBear + Show Spoiler + GlowingBear's posting has felt genuine, and there's a drive to solve the game. Both raynpelikoneet and rsoultin had him at fairly confident townreads when they died. If I have more time, I'll look more closely at his filter. In general, GlowingBear's constant suspicions of Holyflare seemed towny (not necessarily due to the reasoning itself, but the way that he pursued it). The Shining + Show Spoiler + I'm not so sure about this read. The Shining's posting feels more free this game, like his town play, and his posts seem to be trying to solve the game. However, his reaction to the Day 2 flip was underwhelming, he didn't seem to respond at all to his reads being wrong. Furthermore, his play dropped off significantly, but that's not necessarily mafia-indicative. Overall I still feel like he's town, but I'm not very confident. Vivax + Show Spoiler + I'm tired. Vivax is here primarily for filter length, as Vivax is generally rather inactive as mafia. Alakaslam + Show Spoiler + Still tired. Tone read. Mafia Lean ObiWanShinobi + Show Spoiler + He's just.... not doing anything at all. He's not making any useful thoughts, he's not being commanding, he's just following the lead that everyone else is providing. He's just doing whatever, not trying to solve the game. One example of this is ObiWanShinobi's read on boxerfred. He initially said that people scumreading boxerfred for doing nothing is bad, because boxerfred did nothing and got mislynched for it as town. However, when boxerfred continued to be useless, Holyflare said that he wanted to lynch boxerfred on Day 3, and ObiWanShinobi said that he agreed without mentioning boxerfred in between. Palmar + Show Spoiler + Palmar's play this game is very serious. This is strange, because in general, Palmar plays seriously as mafia and does random things and generally doesn't care that much when he is town. For example, see Mini Mafia Down Under 2, where Palmar has a conversation with at least one other Palmar, perhaps two. Instead of playing the game. He was town. And Gaiden 2, where Palmar started out with a very confident scumread of justanothertownie, and keeps pushing this read to ridiculous extremes. After dropping this read, Palmar's activity also drops off. Compare this to Palmar's mafia play. See Completely Normal Generic Mini Mafia, for example, where Palmar starts with a few jokes, and then plays the game in a "normal" fashion. Which Palmar basically never does as town. To clarify, it's not necessarily the effort that Palmar puts in, but the way he goes about it. And the way he plays the game here is from a more serious mindset, much more like Palmar's mafia play than his town play. Anyway, meta aside... Palmar starts the game by townreading ExO_ and Koshi, and being suspicious of kushm4sta/nooniansoong. He eventually says that nooniansoong is a fine lynch, and then decides to sheep raynpelikoneet on Tictock without really caring about his previous read on nooniansoong.

If Palmar is willing to direct power roles, is he really suggesting that the cop should claim a green check to save him from being lynched?!?! That's a really bad idea. While at the same time saying that he's trustworthy enough to get a gun?Don't worry, apparently I'm mafia and I have no credit in the thread. Btw, because I'm already scummy. I'm going to direct blues for a bit. Gunsmiths: it's super duper important you give your guns to non-retards. Give them to people who know how to use vigilante roles. Here's a guide for those who want to become good vigilantes: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/232671-how-to-play-vigilante-and-how-to-play-cop Also, because I'm tired of everyone's shit, I wouldn't mind getting cop checked at all. I normally say it's a waste but I might not have the energy to argue myself out of a lynch this game (and the deadline is literally at 23:00 new year's eve my time... so I will be drunk and playing with fireworks instead of playing mafia). Palmar simply hasn't done that much. By far the biggest thing he did was the Artanis scumread. I'm not positive on Palmar's alignment, but he is very suspicious. Mafia nooniansoong + Show Spoiler + Or kushm4sta, whichever you prefer. I'm just going to go through and mention everything that I think is important, I'll summarize at the end. + Show Spoiler + On December 27 2015 10:57 nooniansoong wrote: Hi everybody. I'm a kush smurf. This game I am going to try hard to work on read accuracy. I just did a quick read through. Exo gave me mafia feels in his few posts, but that doesn't mean much.

I have been reading/skimming/skipping rayns posts, but I haven't had the time to close read anything. Some people are talking too much. Right now I have zero reads. I realize I am a null read at best, and if you want to lynch me I won't stand in your way. I am also signed up for the newbie game so I won't be mafialess for long. Don't get me wrong, I do want to play in this game. I simply don't have the time to keep up with 20 people's spam. Expect reads from me d2 at the latest. Thank you for your time, Kush At this point, the vote count was 5 votes for Vivax and 3 votes for Tictock. Nooniansoong's read on Tictock: On December 28 2015 06:04 nooniansoong wrote: TT was very try hard as mafia last game. I suppose his play could be scum feeling mafia fatigue. I think he is more likely low effort town. On December 28 2015 06:14 nooniansoong wrote: I based my read on two pieces of information. 1 He played try hard scum last game. I was in that game with him and I remember it very well. 2 I read his filter this game and it looks much lower effort than his mafia game. I don't think it's tmi. On December 28 2015 06:31 nooniansoong wrote: There is no leap. His activity points to two options: burnt out scum or town. Which of those he is, I do not know. However, I do not think his lack of activity and the emptiness of his posts is a scumtell, due to his last scumgame. That is what most people are basing the scumread on. Is he burnt out scum or town? If his behavior doesn't point to one being more likely than the other, than it is more likely he is town, simply because town is the more abundant role. On December 28 2015 06:59 nooniansoong wrote: Nooniansoong doesn't seem to care about Tictock's alignment at all, the most common thing that he says is that Tictock could be scum or town, but he isn't sure which.@rayn the game was nutcracker. @hf it's not a leap precisely because i dont have a view on all the other players in the game. Objectively town is more abundant. that is a fact before reads. On December 28 2015 06:19 nooniansoong wrote: And after this he says he has no scum reads. Nooniansoong proceeds to question sicklucker a bit, and then says that ObiWanShinobi looks bad for similar reasons to why Tictock looks bad (which he doesn't think makes Tictock look bad). Which again says nothing and shows no interest in the game.I am going to put my vote down on palmar. It's a quasi-placeholder vote. Palmar is missing d1 and according to his meta he is a d1 player. I think he's going to be unreadable regardless of his alignment so he's a good policy lynch. And all of this time, he hasn't said a single thing about the leading wagon, Vivax, despite making many posts that don't say anything. On December 28 2015 12:39 nooniansoong wrote: Here he says that his vote on Palmar is a policy lynch, and implies that he wants to policy lynch.I don't have a scumread to push. I engage people when it is convenient. My vote for palmar is a vote for a policy lynch. It can be interchanged with about a dozen other players. I think he is a good policy lynch but it's not super important to me. On December 28 2015 12:40 nooniansoong wrote: And here, he's saying that he wants to come back so that he can answer questions, not to come back so that he can solve the game and lynch mafia. Despite saying that he's willing to be lynched, he seems much more apologetic than interested in finding mafia.Apologizes for not consolidating this post but goodnight all. I will try to get to any questions at lunch tomorrow in approximately 13 hours. By the time that nooniansoong returns, Palmar has made several more posts. He says that ExO_ is town for a tinfoil hat theory about the mason claims, and says that he might want to lynch nooniansoong. There's also a post that can be sort of interpreted to be a townread on Koshi. Nooniansoong responds as follows: On December 28 2015 21:24 nooniansoong wrote: So you think he read a lot and is saying he didn't read anything because it makes him look townier? Really? Not reading the thread is very believable to me. On December 28 2015 23:32 nooniansoong wrote: I don't know what you are looking for here but okay... I didn't think you had done anything that warrented a scumread. You read a filter and called someone town from what you read. You approached the game in the same way I would if I were in your position of having 60 unread pages. So Exo's sudden scumread of you seemed inappropriate, and I wanted to get a better idea of what logic he was basing it on. I suppose I can understand Exo thinking you might be scum playing dumb in order to excuse yourself from having to look townie. On December 29 2015 00:46 nooniansoong wrote: He's not saying that Palmar is town, it seems that his read switched because he wanted to lynch an inactive player and Palmar was posting. He also says that Vivax is just as scummy as all of the other inactives:My vote on palmar is definitely bad now that he has showed up, but I don't know who to change it to yet. Alaka for now. On December 29 2015 00:08 nooniansoong wrote: But decides to vote for Alakaslam instead of Vivax, no explanation given.Well there is SL's argument that he is easier to read as the game progresses. Then there is someone else's argument that low activity is not scum indicative for vivax, since he has been known to play like that as town. Which makes him only as scummy as all the other inactives. Nooniansoong then questions Holyflare and The Shining, and ends up saying that Vivax and Holyflare are both town. At this point, nooniansoong is opposed to the Tictock wagon, which is by far the biggest, and his vote is still on a policy lynch. He doesn't seem to care at all. He returns after the lynch, saying that he really wanted to see Tictock flip. This doesn't make sense at all, this feels very mafia motivated to let town flail wildly while just not caring. From this point, nooniansoong's play changes a bit, and he seems to play with a direction of trying to solve the game.

Too weird to be scum maybe? Nooniansoong again says that he has no reads.

And while having no reads.No clue why he liked Holyflare's list at all.pretty good list Nooniansoong seems to be suspicious of ExO_, and says he's townreading ritoky, Palmar, and sicklucker. And that's all of his filter. In conclusion, nooniansoong isn't trying to solve the game. He's commenting on things and not investigating, and he didn't care at all about the Day 1 lynch. He's almost certainly mafia. Some of my town leans are weak, I'll revisit them. I'm pretty sure that at least 2/3 scumreads are correct, hopefully all three. | ||

This game reminds me a bit of Alakaslam's play in Guardians of the Galaxy, where he played more "seriously" as town. The combination of making actual, "normal" reads and still using chupazi. I'm used to mafia!Alakaslam relying purely on chupazi as a survival mechanism, here he's aggressively pushing things. Out for the rest of the night phase. I will probably not be online for the deadline of Day 3, since I'll be in the airport ish at that time, not exactly sure how things will work out. | ||

He's not doing anything, he's just existing. Seriously, he's not invested in the game at all, just going with the flow. It's the same thing as ObiWanShinobi and Palmar. If people are pushing town all the time (Vivax, Tictock, Rels, Tictock again), why does mafia need to do anything? Mafia will sit back and go with it, let town argue about it. That's what nooniansoong, ObiWanShinobi, and Palmar have been doing this entire time. I definitely see Damdred's point about NocturneMage, however I felt that N e s s's play seemed like town, and I'm not yet comfortable reading NocturneMage from these posts. The contrast is also a bit weaker because this is a much, much larger game than the last one NocturneMage replaced into. I'll take another look at Alakaslam, but my impressions from his filter weren't aligned with most of the things that ritoky was saying. On January 03 2016 00:21 ObiWanShinobi wrote: So then the question becomes, did ObiWanShinobi have actual scumreads at the time he said that he would be willing to lynch boxerfred.I didn't know I needed reasons to kill someone useless - I can concede that someone is probably town and useless but that doesn't make being useless a good thing. If he did, then this is very suspicious. If not, then I'm less sure. I'll try and check that tonight as well. | ||

If my reads are horrible and stupid, or don't make people scum, please tell me. And if it's just that they don't make people scum, if you could explain why, that would be great? | ||

I mean, yeah, he could be mafia, but I feel like town is a much simpler explanation. And the simple explanation is generally always correct. I'll take another look if you'd like, you seem fairly convinced about it. But later, I need to head out now. | ||

I remember ObiWanShinobi not having many serious reads. On Day 2, he was scumreading Tictock (as was basically everyone else), and voting for Tictock. Then, when Holyflare said that he wanted to lynch boxerfred on Day 3, ObiWanShinobi said that he agreed with this. ObiWanShinobi's last stance on boxerfred was a town lean, described in two separate posts. I was wondering what caused this change. He explained this change to be caused because he felt like he had to lynch someone who was being useless, even if he didn't necessarily think that they were scum. Or something like that, I can't look it up at this moment. This part isn't important, he's not scum for this statement IMO, but rather the context. The motivation to lynch boxerfred may be there, but wasn't that high. If ObiWanShinobi had an actual scumread that he wanted to lynch, I would expect him to not want to lynch boxerfred to lynch his actual scumread instead. Day 3, so Tictock would already be lynched, and he wouldn't count. And the magnitude of this scumread would need to be judged versus the reason and explanation to scumread boxerfred, and see how they compare. And I'd need to double check the wording, perhaps ObiWanShinobi's agreement with Holyflare was more of consent than thinking it was the best option, as I read it initially. Anyway. The Shining, I don't need to actually be present for you to tell me if my reads have any merit or not. My reads are summarized in my interpretation of the people who are commenting and existing without contributing or trying to solve the game. The details are more accurately explained in my list post about 24 hours ago. Unfortunately, because no one seems to care about my reads, I'm feeling like I'm probably just really wrong ![]() | ||

![]() Holyflare's comment about Alakaslam's tone towards N e s s was fairly accurate as well, and Alakaslam has seemed disinterested in the thread. He's generally been pushing something, but he's focused on very specific parts of the thread, always separated from the main topics and not involving himself much in the lynches. I can still see him being town, though, without too much effort... Bleh. Can someone please comment on the three ObiWanShinobi quotes I provided above? This is one example of the overall impression I got from ObiWanShinobi's filter, that he's been following other people instead of pushing his own reads and ideas. Anyway, good night. | ||

Most of the thread had reactions that were not dissimilar to what palmar posted. At best this is a null as scum are looking just as much as town where to put votes and more than likely palmar vote was already on Rels. Secondly of course palmar doesn't want to be shot this is totally null. 1) Town palmar doesn't want to get shot because he's town and can help to try to win the game. 2) Scum palmar doesn't want to be shot because he's scum,and wants to,win. And thinks he can talk his way out of getting lynched with a large effort. It's totally null, and I'm really concerned now that you are trying to tr palmar for such weak things. Nooniansoong isn't trying to solve the game, he's just commenting and defending some people (mostly Palmar) instead of being interested in his scumreads. His latest defense of Palmar is a great example of this. | ||

I thought that he was town for activity and investment in the game. However, after his first series or two of posts, his activity dropped off a lot, and he hasn't felt interested in the game at all lately. His tone still seems towny as a whole, however Holyflare's point that Alakaslam was heavily scumreading N e s s but still giving him advice as if he were town looks quite strange, given the heavy tone contrast. I really don't know what to think of Alakaslam, I'm simply not used to him playing the game as mafia. But I'm not really used to him playing the game as town, either... | ||
