Yeah I am totally mafia with PepperMintTea. Totally because how I was the first person to make a mini case about her and i will totally push my scum mate into the lynch candidates (Kush/noon did talk about it, but he just asked questions and voted)
Yeah Totally Brah.


Dude no one trusts what you say. If anything, your illogical case against her actually helped her.

I don't care if no one trusts what I say. All i am focus on is finding mafia and getting a direction figured out for d2 (which i can only do after lynch)
But How did my case help her. By saying all she has been doing is posing defenses and nothing else?[/QUOTE]

If you can only do this after lynch then it's not relevant now.

What happened to being "naturally submissive" and not defending yourself?

Your case against PMT helped her since you have no cred, therefore people are more likely to dismiss what you say to be false/stupid.

Could everyone, please, in their next post, even if they have done it already, simply state your top three mafia suspects?

Only if you are willing. I just want motives to be clearer.

Top three suspects in order.
If you want to include reasoning feel free.

Thank you

Guys I just want to put forward a little something.
Shapelog was spouting some seriously scummy stuff in the early stages of the game. While you might say it's 'too scummy to be scum', you have to remember he's a newbie. So he is prone to make the 'obvious' mistakes as Mafia. Also, looking stupid is a bonus for him if he is scum.

Let's pretend for a second that he is confirmed townie.
Wouldn't he try to amend his bad rep from early on by trying to keep in-game focus, stop spamming, and find scum?

You have to admit a good deal of his posts are SPAM, and what little input he does give seems hard on other people's reads. Or just lucky questioning.

So why is Shapelog not trying to improve his gameplay, like he said he wanted to?

Curious whether your mafia reads have changed at all since posting? Pepperminttea is in my town pile right now-- how confident are you in this list?

I'm surprised that both Shapelog and MexicanAlien have been inactive the past 5-6 hours. Especially given the burst in activity from both in the first day of D1.


Hey darthfoley,
I have sleeping for the last 7 hours or so.

There has been a lot more upheaval in opinions and reads and votes than I expected, so it's going to take me some time to try to analyze these new posts.

From quickly skimming over the last few hours, Shapelog still seems a bit scummy to me, maybe because his almost lack of logic when it comes to countering scumreads against him. And most everyone seems content to defend him. May or may not be a bad thing.

As for PepperMintTea, I am still waiting for an answer to my question. That is, paraphrasing,

Why did you ignore the most likely explanation for Shapelog's nervousness/over posting?

I'm suspicious of PMT because she seems to ask a lot of questions, disappear, refuse to add anything until questions are answered, gives very illogical rebuffs to questions asked of her.

Onegu, I need to do some thinking. I'm not sure about him right now.

My favorite thing about this read is the apparent lack of bias darthfoley shows.

After reading darthfoley's filter, I have to say that he is my strongest TR. I'm not going to quote him because I think the majority of his posting was designed to get people to explain themselves or expose scumplay, and it would be counterproductive to quote his entire filter.

I'd also like to point out that while darthfoley has changed his vote a couple times, he continues to clarify his reads and doesn't contradict himself.

If he's mafia, he's extremely good and may God save my neck.

darthfoley is Vanilla Townie

darthfoley let's just wait and see what Ikidomari has to say for himself. Then decide from there.

I'm probably the weakest player in the game, so feel free to lynch me for that reason,...


Falls back on "I'm the weakest player" when there are better candidates for that role (Shapelog....ect). He's trying to guilt us into not lynching him! This would be a horrible strategy for a townie, a last resort as Mafia!

I need to log off for now, see you all in a couple hours.


Tumble I'd like to know if these are still your scum reads? If they've changed, I want to know why. Also, you have both Trfel and Onegu in your scum pile. They've been pretty accusatory against each other
...do you believe they could be on the same team? ...

My reads on Onegu and Trfel haven't changed, but you can add JesusIncarnate and Ikidomari to that list. JesusIncarnate is scummy IMO for being inactive and unhelpful. Ikidomari... I would have probably townread, but Eden has scumreading powers I am not yet blessed with, and I can't help but agree with her.
On the subject of Onegu and Trfel, I think it would still make sense if they were scum together, but it's getting hard to picture Onegu as scum now (even without him saying anything) when there are four players I believe are acting scummier.
This is a weird game.



darthfoley asks Tumbleweed for his views on Onegu and Trfel, Tumbleweed says his reads haven't changed, but then goes on to say his read on Onegu is getting weaker.

Tumble joins the Jesus wagon on grounds of "inactive and unhelpful", but he doesn't accuse others for any of these reasons, even though in his mind it should be solid ground.

He implies his TR on Ikidomari, but then jumps on Ikidomari's wagon too! And he bases this on the fact that Eden1892 had better scumreading 'powers' than him. While this may be true, it is hardly reason for wagoning Ikidomari.

5. I realize I have to vote
6. I vote for my least favorite person in the game so far- Jesus has contributed very little, his attitude annoys me, other players have a case against him too.

that last point about other players having a case against him is important to me, I don't want to mis-lynch someone, in the off chance that it's a close vote, and my vote tips the scales.

Here's my last point in defense for now. If I was mafia, I'm most afraid of Eden and Darth, and people in the thread know that.
If I survive being lynched today, who dies in the night will pretty much confirm whether or not I'm mafia / town, and I'm an easy vote for day 2.

the difference is that town has no motivation to gain towncred, town has motivation to solve the game.
mafia need to gain towncred twice as much as town do.

at least in my very limited understanding, that's the way I see it.


One of the best ways to help solve the game is to establish oneself as townie, therefore narrowing down the potential mafia candidates. Townies also want towncred because then people will be more likely to listen to their reads, and therefore saving time for the rest of the townies.

##UNVOTE

....

But I believe you sincerely believe what you say, and if I believe this, then your explanation makes sense to me from your POV.


Eden1892,
I noticed something that slightly bothered me.

You point out a ton of logical mistakes and backdoors in Ikidomari's long post.

You show amazement at the apparent scumcatch
oh my goodness its actual literal christmasland
and
lock for scum


And you even find scummy motives in Ikidomari's wagonjump on Jesusincarnate.
like he literal called Travel actual scum and Jesus town...

Then when wagons are showing up to be Trfel(actual scum) or Jesus (unhelpful town) drops a vote to push the wagon on his town read ahead of his scum read.


You seem to want other people to vote for Ikidomari and seem slightly annoyed that people aren't joining the Ikiwagon.
Everyone stop trying to lynch the bait and lynch the mafia instead


But then out of nowhere you start falling for Ikidomari's ****
sigh hitting me right in the feels with "keep me alive so I can learn"

Note- that last quote may have been sarcasm, I don't know

You ask Ikidomari what changed his mind about JesusIncarnate (changed from 'unhelpful town' to scum)

He says it was Jesus' attitude
Sure. It was his attidue. I admit I am biased because I dislike the way he types, but I couldn't stop thinking about motivations as to why he'd be so arrogant, and how that arrogance could be used to his advantage.

This sounds good. But I went back and looked at his initial read of Jesus.
....He's coming off as extremely arrogant, enough so that it has got to be some sort of act.
...my read is that jesus is an unhelpful town...

You see? Ikidomari claims his read on JesusIncarnate changed while he was still writing his post, but the reason he gave for the read change is one of the original reasons for his original read!

Ikidomari didn't change his read. He wanted to bandwagon JesusIncarnate to take the pressure of of himself.

Eden1892,
I want to know why specifically you believe Ikidomari's reasoning.
What made you let Ikidomari off the hook so easily?
