This is my 3rd game on TL, but i'm pretty much addicted and expect to be super active going forward. Probably a year or a year and a half ago, I stumbled onto the Mafia sub forum here, and thought the game was very interesting, but I never actually played it. I ended up refinding it some months ago, by watching the TI5 mafia games online, brought it to my college campus friend group, and loved it. Eventually my friends found it less fun on a regular basis, so I came to TL in hopes of finding a more active mafia community. I find IRL way more fun, but forum mafia has really helped my BS detector and analytic ability... I think. ![]() | ||

I also played a mini mafia game with Koshi in which he was much more serious and emotional as town, so I don't know if his play is alignment indicative yet. Palmar is doing his town leader aggression already, so I TR him for the moment. I also am light town reading ritoky right now, because he more or less got the game going and has asked some worthwhile follow ups. | ||

I simply meant "with" as in: the game that had Koshi and Palmar in it. I didn't mean that I was in the game somehow. Also, Koshi and Palmar were more... memorable in that game because Koshi dgaf and Palmar was super vocal, so I remember their play more. Regarding you and VA: Ritoky kinda just made the only point of reference I have on VA. I played in the Unoriginal Mini Mafia game with him recently, and he barely posted anything until N1 or D2, in which he came out with a damning case of me being mafia (I was.) I am frankly surprised to see him active this early in the game, so he's scummier than town for me right now. I already said I didn't like your TR on Damdred. I don't really like your meme posts either, but maybe that's your town meta and I just am not aware of it. That's all I have to say about you right now. | ||

I only brought up the Zyrre thing because I have been scum read for doing a similar "woohoo, i'm town!" post early. Tbf I was town that game. You tell me that I have too much explanation for lack of content, while also giving disformation a hard time for stating reads without explanation.

I think you're reading too much into a few cheeky posts at the beginning of the game. Nothing was really going on by that point, so I didn't feel the need to be super serious. I'm just not understanding why you aren't holding others to this similar standard of scum indicativeness; Zyrre, who made the "woo i'm town" post hasn't posted since and only NM seems to notice. He's also EU time which makes it even more sus imo. Not sure why other people can post shit memes and make jokes, but when I say "roger Gold leader" in a Star Wars themed game early D1, you scum read me for it. I literally said "i am here guyzzz"... like why would I ever be so literal in my phrasing if I were mafia? This whole poke on me seems a little overzealous to me. I understand probing, but this is pointless. When I say that I'll be back in some hours, but still make a post, I simply don't have the time to make in depth posts or filter dive, but I have enough time (~5 minutes) to defend myself from rather toothless accusations. @Koshi I appreciate your compliment. I hope I will continue to impress later, when I have time to actually analyze interactions in a meaningful way. Put me in, coach. | ||

Rels, I didn't like disformation's defense on his "hi, lemme throw you the weakest of townreads" because Was kinda waiting for that question to pop up. Well once upon the time damdy told me that he really does not like to be VT. Him opening up like this reminded me of that. Could be easily faked so I call it a super weak/easy TR. You gotta start somewhere. Dunno. Have observed a lot of ppl just throwing out reads, without really bothering to explain them. Wanted to try that style this game a bit. Also more opportunities for interactions like this. ![]() I don't know why you wouldn't explain it if you were kinda waiting for someone to ask you that question. It just seemed to me like track covering. I agree with his premise that you have to start somewhere, so if he had used that anecdotal evidence when he read Damdred initially, I probably would've been fine with it. I'm also not a fan of throwing reads out without bothering to explain them until you get pressed on them, and I don't think the solution is more people playing that style. | ||

In the game I was scum with him he tried really hard to either fly under the radar or establish himself as town, he didn't push anyone too hard, so yeah. I'd put him on my "potential lurker watch" list while not scumreading him yet. I don't know what you mean with that semi-quote. You're saying I dictated how the town played in my first game ever while rolling scum, all while not pushing anyone too hard? "this is how we play now, okay"?? I think you're forgetting that I got lynched and lost the game with like 7 town left lol. Could you explain this better? I tried flying under the radar or I tried establishing myself as town? Aren't these strategies (generally) mutually exclusive? I bring this up not to harp on an old game, but I do think it's a bit weird the way you've framed my scum play. I find it pretty false actually. Perhaps Kush can comment on this, considering he's now played two games with me? That being said, I actually thought that boxerfred's counter analysis on ritoky re: disformation was solid. Ritoky read a little too much into a 2 line post by disformation, but I think his point about giving NocturnalMage an entry was substantive and worth mentioning. I could see bf and ritoky both being town and being stubborn against each other D1 because egos or something. Idk I find it perhaps a little suspect that bf (kinda), ritoky and damdred have all defended me already, using variations of the experience card to help me. I especially find it ironic, because if I were to use the defense, I would be immediately scum read. I think i'm a fairly obvious pocket opportunity for experienced mafia, so i'm particularly wary when a bunch of vets start defending me off the bat from rather average pokes by Rels. It just seems off. | ||

So d1 = standard. d2+ = bold. But this game is under special circumstances, so I'm not arguing that you should be townreading me. Because I could easily do this as scum. IN fact if I were scum this game, I'd probably be playing exactly how I'm playing now. Nevertheless, I'll defend myself. 1 There are probably people who have put less effort than even me into this game. You might want to lynch them instead of me. 2 There is a slight possibility that d2 or 3 I will start to care. The caveat to this is that I will still be pretty useless because I'll have no idea what's going on. I don't know what to say to this Kush. Why is this game under special circumstances? Idk this comes across as just more vocal Kush Unoriginal Mini Mafia game who is salty he rolled scum again. We're supposed to keep you around for 3 days on the off chance you might start to try?

I haven't been a fan of Koshi's posting so far tbh. A 4 page filter after 1/2 of D1 with lots of one sentence "cheeky" answers (like his ass rebuttal of NM's semi-case against him with ritoky) just seems a little too glib for my taste. He also doesn't explain his pro Zyrre read either. Maybe koshi's just trololing like the PYP game, but in that game he was quite clear from the start that the setup was the reason he was taking it not seriously, which doesn't really hold water here. | ||

There's been little push back, even though people have said they aren't very confident about it. He just seems like perfect lynchbait for mafia right now. They kill arguably the best town on TL because he's been somewhat AFK and not even one counter wagon gets started? I do agree that his one post referencing Superbia mafia flip is not good, but I think Palmar mafia (from what i've heard) is way more capable than the play he's shown so far. Idk why he would allow his own lynch to happen so easily There's only 1h10 left, but I don't think the Palmar vote is right. We could just have an investigative role check him N1 or something. Zyrre is a much better lynch imo, he has literally gone with thread sentiment with almost all his votes, INCLUDING Palmar, the primary lynch target. I know it's probably too late, but come join the Zyrre wagon boys and girls. | ||

To be clear, I don't think the Palmar vote is the worst thing in the world, but 8 votes with no counter wagon indicates to me that either 1) He's town and mafia are pushing/seconding the narrative 2) He's mafia and his mafia team is bussing him D1 by either voting for him, or not really starting any other wagon... which seems very counterproductive as mafia. You aren't gonna get that much town cred if 10 people vote for him and he flips town, and you'll look sus if you just park your vote and give no input. On the other hand, I'm not sure that Zyrre has had one original thought all game. His entrance reads post seems super newbie mafia who skim thread, copy thread sentiment and add a few anecdotes here and there. Then he jumps on the Palmar train for meh reasoning that other people have already trotted out | ||

Uh, I didn't push the Zyrre wagon at all? It was 8 votes Palmar to 1 vote Zyrre when I expressed my concern with how easy Palmar was getting lynched and why I was concerned. I was rather vocal about Zyrre and asked people uncomfortable with lynching Palmar D1 to come to my wagon. Not sure what you mean by this... I did flesh out my reasoning for being most confident in Zyrre which you can read in my filter. You might not consider them good reasons, but I had been suspicious of Zyrre throughout D1, plus people like Rels, who I have town read drew similar conclusions. You're going to have to do better if you want to suggest this vote gives me a good chance of being scum. I am more curious about who jumped on the Zyrre wagon, and when. | ||

On February 07 2016 08:25 marvellosity wrote: Okay, so do you take anything further from this? My first thought, if it was mafia 2kp + Hux assassinate: why now? There are a few reasons that i've considered-- i'm sure it's a combo of them. I think the obvious answer is to maximize the amount of guaranteed damage inflicted on N1. Mafia gets guaranteed 3kp N1 with Hux, but I think there could've definitely been strategy for using Hux later, even if it's 2kp N1, 1kp + Hux N2, N3 etc. Using Hux later could've implied a vigi shot/vigi fake claim, it could've indirectly framed someone, or just gotten the town to forget about the assassinate possibility. Using Hux N1, however, has a few benefits. The 3 kp has forced town to already start thinking about end game scenarios: how many mislynches town has, how blue roles will be affected going forward, etc. Basically the 3KP puts town on the defensive and much more passive in its play, because every mislynch digs town a deeper and deeper grave. I think a more hesitant town only benefits mafia. Every wagon will be over scrutinized, and people will get cold feed and wishy washy on reads. Using Hux N1 can also make sure that whoever was making the most progress D1 is donezo, and town doesn't really have any idea who was the person on the right track. It basically makes town analyze 3 dead filters, instead of 2 down the road, making the whole situation more ambiguous. | ||

Is it really as simple as Palmar: kill these 3 good players who've been voting for me/on my ass. Is Palmar known for some Italian style vengeance? I just read ritoky's filter for Palmar mentions, and although he voted Palmar, he got on the wagon relatively late and did not seem particularly hardcore for it. Meh this all seems too clean.

Are you rambling or is there something to this I think it was rather clear what I'm getting at. People have said that 3 people killed made sense from mafia!Palmar pov. My point is that marv would make more sense than ritoky, for example, if those were the reasons. With 4 mafia and so much heat already on Palmar, I doubt the NKs would simply revolve around scum!Palmar targets because he's likely to get lynched D2, and the other 3 need to start preparing for post scum!Palmar/town!Palmar lynch. I think this is supported by the Hux shot I find the ritoky and damdred kills particularly odd because ritoky foreshadowed low activity (relatively ez to drive a mislynch on inactive good player) and damdred said stuff like On February 06 2016 07:49 Damdred wrote: It's a bit of a lot of people have been towny with very few scummy atm to me Wouldn't mafia want to keep a guy who's townreading every in the game?

Like he has a bunch of "I dislike x" and "I like y" but besides being most confident in zyrre being scum he has not a single solid read. Truth is, I don't have many scum reads. I've found this game particularly hard to scum read given the Palmar --> Zyrre lynch wagon dynamic. All we actually know is that a bunch of people followed my wagon and lynched a noob town who looked scummy, then killed three strong towns. That isn't very alignment indicative of many people until we know or have a better understanding of what Palmar is. My town reads/people i'm more willing to trust right now are Rels, you and I tentatively lean town on boxerfred. He seems to me to be genuinely frustrated with people who are either trolling or not playing serious (Chez, kush, Moosy). I'm actually starting to TR Kush as well. + Show Spoiler + On February 08 2016 00:54 Rels wrote: This post got way bigger than I though, I'm trying my best to organize it. I don't like Koshi at all, he might very well be scum. Here is why: 1 D1 the only real thing he did was pushing kush + opposing Palmar's lynch. That's it. No read on anyone else, especially Zyrre. Like, I think this is the only post about Zyrre in his filter: Then: Well, he ended up voting Zurre with kush. 2 I don't like that he townreads Palmar early using a "secret tell" Palmar apparently only does when he's scum. Where is the fucking tell now ? Then, he scumreads Palmar more and more as votes piles up on him, and votes him, but is still against his lynch. In particular, the last post is super weird in the progression: There is all this progression from "100% town" to "if he's town it's a bad lynch" to "I'm not really against Palmar's lynch but I think we should wait" to finally ... "I disagree with the lynch 100%". IT MAKES NO SENSE, especially 6 minutes after saying "I am not against a Palmar lynch in theory". 3 Finally, I dislike all the random questions / opinions that is in his filter, and that doesn't serve any purpose / does not lead to anything. Examples: Where is the follow up ? Especially in Moosy's and BF's case, where he shows he has suspicions but don't talk about them anymore. Also darthfoley might be buddying me because that defense was actually really bad. referencing this comment @Koshi I appreciate your compliment. I hope I will continue to impress later, when I have time to actually analyze interactions in a meaningful way. Put me in, coach. Does that actually look like a real attempt at buddying? I thought it was clearly tongue in cheek. The only person you could actually say i'm buddying is Palmar. Not Koshi off of one dumb sentence. But this interaction rubbed me the wrong way because he never came back to either point (me buddying him, or why my defense was bad). Koshi has been fine throwing out these "your post is terrible" reads but has rarely, as Rels mentioned, followed up on anything. I can't read Chez, Moosy or Onegu to save my life, so meh. I'm also suspicious of marv a bit, because I get a scummy vibe looking back to his filter regarding the 3kp N1, and how he reacted...

If Marv is mafia, he won't even look that bad if Palmar flips town, because he and others will frame it as "we had to because XYZ!" and i'm not really sure he's done much outside of try to hang Palmar by his balls lol | ||

Ironically if his filter was half the size I'd be more inclined to think he was town. If he comes in later while i'm out and makes a case on me, lynch him. Just lynch him. He knows I am town (or should at least feel i am) and would never want to lynch me today, he'd only be doing it to destabilise whatever influence I have on town. And yes he'd do it even after I wrote this. He may come back and look town, which is nice. I'd also note it's not beyond mafia Palmar to afk and hope for the best when he's mafia, even if i do rather think he'd come and try do stuff. Zyrre - I wrote stuff already.

He also says that if he thought he wasn't going to come back before the deadline, he would vote for Zyrre, but that he's keeping his vote on Palmar and change it later if necessary. Except that a few paragraphs earlier he specifically told everyone not to drink the Palmar Kool-Aid and keep your vote on him. He then jumps on the "VC is making me nervous train at #1319" (I had commented on it at #1308) and switches to Zyrre. This progression/line of reasoning throughout is suspicious to me and i'm scum reading marv Get Zyrre ML D1 is easy, while knowing it will leave Palmar in an almost impossible hole to fight out of D2 given the rapid vote swing, guaranteeing another mislynch. | ||

So especially if palmar is town there should be at least 1 scummer on palmar. UNLESS it is really MD+Onegu +2 ppl on the Zyrre train which is possible. The three ppl voting Palmar that are not conf. from my pov are: NM, Rels and VA. NM: I wouldn't put it past him to make a case on Palmar D1 and try to get him lynched as scum. That is also an incredibly scary tinfoil. On the other hand I really am not able to legit scum read him. So I think he is town (for now). Rels: not having looked too close at Rels, yet. Should probably do this, since his scum game is pretty good. But on the other hand he has done nothing that screams town to me either. Actually he scum read both of zyrre and palmar and I am not 100% sure why he decided to prefer a palmar lynch. Though skimming his filter his approach to the game looks rather town. VA: his vote is nice and early, but he seemed very not invested into this. Only mention of zyrre is that the zyrre lynch seems too easy. So yeah this vote does not look great. Especially if Palmar is town. Zyrre wagon town lean on darthfoley. TR on marv. if koshi is scum probably not for this vote. cause jat and marv said so. leaves me with the trio of nooniansoong, Chezinu, boxerfred. No good read on any of those three tbh. Hope we have some investigation roles for those tbh. But I can easily see 2 scummers in there, especially if Palmar is scum. Whoever replaces in for Onegu has some huge town rainbows to plant into the thread. Actually @ rels: what made you vote palmar over zyrre? This game shouldn't be too hard if Palmar flips scum. Most likely 3 or maybe even all 4 mafia out of darthfoley, koshi, kush, Chez, boxerfred, and marv. I realized i was being kinda stupid scum reading marv earlier, so we have (most likely) a 2/4 or 3/4 chance of lynching mafia between the other four if Palmar flips scum-- i'm not including myself because i'm just a good-to-do X Wing pilot. I'm going to go through their filters later tonight hopefully, but I haven't liked Koshis posts for much of the game. I have a lot of work today, so it may have to wait until night. | ||

Onegu is completely null, but the above there is some information to go off of, and it's sure not townie IMO. For point (4) to see it clearer, you have to read what Rels was doing, but that's the gist of that point. quoting this so it'll be in my filter. I'll get to this when I can. | ||

Here are my mistakes for post-game: letting myself rage hard at people like Moosy, Chez and nooniansong and their styles of posting. If I consider to play some more mafia games, I should learn to deal with that. I think the vig shot is still better on nooniansong by the way. I don't understand the point of this post at all. This comes across as quite scummy to me, especially coupled with the fact that the last few pages of your filter is basically nothing. This is basically a huge OMGISUCK post on N1... so forced.

Last post before I go. I particularly like your point about VA lacking direction. Perhaps it was because I was trash scum, but I've seen him be low activity into a BAM mafia case. He hasn't done all that much besides bicker with NM for most of the game, and throw out some tentative reads here and there. Ritoky said that NM vs. VA seemed manufactured, and given the two people and their posts so far, it seems quite likely that VA is the one latching onto a tunnel to somewhat excuse his lack of direction otherwise | ||

Some blahblah about "I graduated from Jedi Academy", more bullshit. But then, there's an interesting series of posts in his filter: + Show Spoiler + From a disformation vote (trolly or not, it was a huge derailing), he likes Palmar, the GF. Then throws in another name, nooniansong. Then ends up calling out Zyrre, a VT. And boom, at last, he says "I randomly copy pasted names" to render everything he just said useless. This is not "brown magic", this is not even non-valuable bullshit. This is clearly derailing the thread, actively creating confusion, trying to mislead people. I mean, those are his townreads, right? Well, after rendering his list useless by "i just copy pasted", he goes again to it: "Hey, here are townreads. Hey, no, kidding. Hey, yes, indeed." Had to think of this (00:59). Like, what is this even? A bit later, more on Palmar: Can't say if it's bold "he's my scum buddy so I townread him" or if it's a real townread. Given that he was the only one voting outside of the Palmar train D2, I think it's "it's too scummy to be scum so people will townread me for that move lol". Exactly the stuff I'd expect out of Chez as far as I got to know him. Note: up until now (D2), there is not a single scum read given from Chezinu. But, finally, here they are: I wonder how this would make sense. Marv would've bussed the shit out of Palmar, while I would've hard defended Palmar D1. I mean, I townread him, right? While I made a huge case on ritoky which was entirely wrong since ritoky was town. How would the combination of marv and me make sense in any way? How would you draw such a conclusion? Interestingly enough, Chezinu paints a connection between a guy with a top reputation as town and someone who tends to be mislynched easily. If people had to decide between lynching me and lynching marv, I'd be dead. In that context, the next post makes even more sense: A direct attack on me - and an attempt to simply get marv's attention, almost like a 3-year-old running to papa, hugging him, "dad, do you love me? i love you too!". So at first, he says "boxerfred and marv, scum together, interesting", then he splits the scum dream team again into "boxer = scum" and "marv what you think of me"? If he really scumreads marv, why would he care for what marv thinks about him?

Remember: at this point in time, Chez has done exactly NOTHING to help town. He didn't drop any hard town reads, he didn't push anyone for being scum, he did not participate in serious discussions, he did exactly nothing to help town. On the contrary, partially, he even derailed the thread into pure unreadable and useless garbage. Then, suddenly, he comes up with this post. I take the following points out of this post: a. "I helped to form a second wagon on Day 1". This is weak. He's referring to the Zyrre wagon (imho). Yes, given that both have flipped now, we should indeed go back to some VCA of D1 votes. But was it indeed Chez' intention to create a second wagon to simply gain more information? And, way more important: did he REALLY help create that wagon? No! He did not. b. "I was secretly hoping that Palmar died N1". If that is the case, why didn't Chez vote for Palmar D2? And, way more important: Final Day 1 Vote Count Zyrre (8): darthfoley, nooniansoong, Chezinu, boxerfred, marvellosity, Palmar (7): justanothertownie (1): VayneAuthority (1):MoosyDoosy nooniansoong (0): NocturneMage (0), ritoky (0): Onegu (0):, Disformation (0): MoosyDoosy (0): Not Voting (0): Tonight Zyrre had been executed. Day 1 has ended. Why was he on Zyrre if he wanted to lynch Palmar? He could've made the difference. He could've hammered Palmar, and he even said the he wanted to do it! But he did not do it. Here is the progression: D1: 1. He likes Palmar. Drops a townread. 2. Votes [color=green]Zyrre[/color], in a close 8-7 scenario, over [color=red]Palmar[/color]. D2: 1. Does not vote Palmar, being the only one not voting Palmar. "Too scummy to be scum", someone said. 2. Once Palmar flips, Chez says that he "secretly wanted Palmar to die D1". Which is an obvious lie. ...but, yeah, ends with: Now that is bold. ________________________________________________________________________________ Now, D3. Chez follows marv onto Koshi. I'm not believing this tbh. Like, if I go into a thread and decide not to read up, I at least read the last 2-3 posts. Your eye directly falls on it, and if you plan to say something about a guy, how can you ignore his bolded red name? So Chez scumreads Koshi, sheeping a guy who should be established and accepted town, marv. The same guy he tried to pocket earlier, by the way. Chez does nothing to add substance to his Koshi read. He's simply following thread sentiment by marv. And after this, he goes nuts about me, also without adding substance. Without mentioning even a single post besides my initial post where I have him in my scum list. And, look at that: "You must be scum. It's just like it." ##vote Chezinu So I like this post, but it's also rather obvious. In fact, i'm almost to the point of a plynch against Chez because he's either blatant mafia, or the most anti-town townsperson ever. Either way, he's making mafia's lives easier with his conscious stream of bullshit. I, however, still have reservations about you. As Marv obviously pointed out, it's quite clear that given Palmar's flip, scum is going to have to bus each other and make moves to establish town cred they sorely need right now. With Chez such an easy target, I think it's perfectly within your capability to make that play. I also don't really understand why you keep trying to bang us on the head with how this Chez case establishes you as town.

Feel free to question me, but I think it's clear that although my activity is lower than in the Newbie town game I just finished, my play has been quite different from the one game I was scum. Not a big sample size to consider tbf. The only thing is, you've brought up my name multiple times as potential scum, but your only reason has been my filter length/activity, which I think is easily understandable in this sort of game: there are lots of experienced good players, so I have no problem taking a step back and being more introspective in my posts than leading the town. It wouldn't really make sense tbh. Activity needs to be complimented by other stuff if you're serious about potentially scum reading me... otherwise, it is kinda pointless imo | ||

Palmar + VA + Koshi + Chez? Boxerfred's anger and a few other things have made me rethink my scum read on him earlier, although i'm still not too sure. I'll have to look at MoosyDoosy's filter, it just sucks because his early game was quite annoying. Still don't know what Chez has brought to the game, even as town. Not sure how much info we'll get in the next coming days because VA and Koshi are universally scum read. | ||

I have some time today, but initially reading your analysis disformation, I agree with your conclusion that Kush is unlikely to be mafia considering how hard Koshi was pushing it. There's no reason his attempt at a counter wagon to Palmar (godfather) would be another mafia (goon or hux?) | ||
