Starting to think LS is mafia with Damdy and they founded team babbyrage to get themselves TR.

I don't think so. There are multiple reasons DF is scum, and even if you don't think the rage is town indicative, LS is playing like he does as town when apparently he's way more timid as scum.


What about the points on Damdy?

Maybe he's scum. I can see him faking emotion way more easily than LS. He's been super underwhelming past N0. His read on Breshke is super passive as you said, and even afterwards (maybe he's town for not wanting the 50/50 to be used immediately, then later "he's a policy lynch"). Now he has an excuse to be AFK.


To specifically talk about this. Even you said when I explained myself it wasn't that horrible but breahke did 0 things after that so I changed my stance with the lack of information and focused on something I had information on the next cell.

As for the now has an excuse to be afk don't be a total moron and try to make nai things into alignment indicative things. Exactly why you are annoying to play with sometimes.

Now for use reads so I can keep up on where I am in the game and people can pick my brain.

Today's cell:
reps/: Ever since rels has been back he has looked pretty Towny to me. His case on Darth is pretty good I disagree with a couple of points just because I think he takes a couple nai points and makes them try to fit into the scum indicative set. But I think for reps this makes it more Towny of him. I've talked to Tina and a couple other people and have said in multiple other games that rels as town loves to pick on little ahit that doesn't make people scum. He's doing it here I think he's town.

L's: I've said it multiple times already. He was angry when suspected it made me think town. He was super helpful finding old games when as scum he would be super lazy he's the type of person who is unable to overcome meta and roll over as scum. I don't really see the laziness that he generally portrays as scum and was pretty proactive with breahke as vivax has shown. I so have one small worry with him but overall I'm really convinced he's town.

Darth: I thought some of his earlier posts lacked real direction and lacked a bit of flare. I'm the least familiar with him but rels had some pretty decent points and poe leads me to vote him currently. I did feel when the breahke lynch was starting to come down he was trying to give himself an out to get on the wagon if bresh didn't do anything

I am kind of in agreement with ritoky's order, but more active people should be put first. D might be better to save just because those are all low content players, so deciding early on them might be hard.


im kind of confused here though. If all the active people are put in the earlier phases won't that mean the later phases are just an afk party.

I thought you would do it the other way around and put cells with the less active people earlier


Why would mafia not want an AFK party near the end? Also, didn't particularly like Kush's response

While that's true, you're kinda just kicking the can down the road if you want to keep AFK people in longer. Wouldn't town benefit longer from having many active players left in longer?

Breshke posted a few questions at the very beginning of the game. These questions were completely NAI if taken alone, and scum indicative as a whole as it's the only thing Breshke had done N0. DF townreading Breshke for this reason does not make sense: this read is fabricated.

VA I've never said that i'm set in my scum read of you. But when 8/15 people have already voted for Breshke, and there are 5/15 mafia in the game, I don't like the optics.

To switch gears a bit, your post implies that you can't be convinced that LS is mafia, why?

Too many people voted Breshke in a row, so Breshke has to be town.
Well, first this number is wrong: 6 people voted in a row when DF made this post. This migth mean nothing but it's way less extreme than DF made it out to be.
Secondly, he had kinda the same reaction to Palmar being lynched D1 in Star Wars; and Palmar flipped scum. He should have learned that several people piling on a guy doesn't m ean the guy is town. This looks like he used his star wars game town meta to create an excuse to townread Breshke.

Much of my suspicion of VA comes from Rels really bad VA town read, which I've already gone over. I know either Rels or LS is mafia, and it is especially concerning when someone I know is good town has illogical reads. As I mentioned earlier, I think VA could be town for something along the line's of ritoky's reasoning, but not Rels.

DF is suspicious of me because of my "bad VA town read". But he's saying at the same time VA could be town.
Vivax pressured him on that since why would I invent a reason to townread VA just to have an excuse to shit on my partner Breshke. His answer:

Why would Rels TR a town VA then, cause that would mean that he's bussing Bresh this very moment.


Because if Rels is town and we just disagree on what "aggressive" play is, and LS is mafia, it makes more sense. My cell has a third person people seem to be forgetting

He dodges the question and says "Rels could be town actually". No explanation as to why he thought my VA read made me scum.

Later and even now he continues to be suspicious about me with the vague reason that I "did scummy stuff". Since he agreed I could be town and he just misunderstood my words on VA, I have no idea what "scummy stuff" he is talking about now.

ritoky and I had the same read with different words on VA. It doesn't make sense that he townreads ritoky for it and scurmeads me in the same time. These reads are fabricated.

He's actually spending more time defending himself than doing anything else, especially lately. Here is a compilation of posts:

Maybe Breshke is scum who has just gone AFK or whatever and people are trying to jump on him and get town cred, but it makes no sense for scum!darthfoley to be the only one willing to defend/challenge conventional wisdom.

Why do I look worse for saying, "I don't know why people are town reading FF after looking at his filter"

I found and still find his filter super underwhelming. It was at max null for me. I also don't know why this doesn't make Rels look worse for you, considering he basically drew the same conclusion as me regarding FF--> kinda useless, null or scum lean.

@Shapelog... Not sure what i'm supposed to say to you having a "weird" vibe from my #640 post.

@Rels I still think your "VA is being aggressive" line is bullshit. Your explanation was basically just him throwing a few names out early. How is that aggressive when there's NO explanation? I guess Kush plays every game aggressive then because of his random scum list 1.1 1.2 lists. Aggressively implies that he's pushing his reads. He's done no pushing, and seems very happy with me being scum read, stating over and over how great it's going to be when "we go up 2-0" we = ???

The VA town I've played with in Unoriginal didn't do much D1 and came out with a blockbuster read post that completely read my scum play, with reasoning and all. He just seems more willing to go with the flow in this game, which isn't how he played last time. His play reminds me more of the Star Wars scum game I played with him.

you look worse for defending breshke and I now know 100% that breshke is scum, simple as that. Thats why you now look worse. dunno what tangent you were even going off on


Okay, let's accept your premise that breshke is 100% scum. Why does my defense of him make me scum? You literally played with me last game and I did the same thing with Palmar when I was town. Not seeing why you are so attached with this being alignment indicative

well i think i've explained why I think things relatively thoroughly so far. Do you want clarification on something?

Also @VA, people weren't really scum reading me in a serious way until I started to defend Breshke. From a mafia POV, what's the point of sticking your neck out for a cell that is almost certainly going to get 50/50'd if your scum partner is the heavily scum read person in it? Does this game remind you at all of my scum play in Unoriginal? I'd say it's about as different as you could be.

I later explained my logic after that post Rels. I really don't know why you guys think I would choose my hill to die on D1 defending my completely afk scum teammate when I could just bus him for town points like probably the rest of mafia are doing right now.

##Vote:Breshke

The ugh at the end indicates frustration right?
Why are you frustrated over an easy scum lynch?


Yea i'm frustrated. Because I spent half of my cycle wasting my breath defending someone who has turned out to be mega obvious mafia, while getting almost universally wrongly scum read for it. It's great if we successfully used our 50/50 and go up 1:0, but town would be in an amazing decision if we go up 2:0 after my cell and if I can't change people's minds, that won't happen. Can't remember who said it, but I endorse using the audience power for my group too unless there's some obvious reason i'm missing. Going up 2:0 should basically ensure a town win.

I put a huge target on my back
Breshke goes AFK

Breshke gets killed, town up 1:0

darth i wanna hear alot from you today. your in a weird spot because your vs two of my only townreads. But I dont acualy scum read you?. im voting you now but it could change


I will filter dive Rels and LS. I'm more than willing to answer people's questions. As you said, i'm in a tough spot because people are meta town reading my cellmates, making me PoE mafia instead of actually having a mafia read on me which is rather annoying. At least that's the vibe i've gotten from everyone not in my cell. Even LS is PoE mafia me!

Either way, Rels or LS is aware of their town meta and are exploiting it to great use so far. From what a few players were saying early game, I tend to think Rels is the more likely candidate to be able to emulate town play as scum-- at least that's what someone said early on who had experience with scum!Rels.

My biggest defense right now is that if i'm mafia I've played a terribly stupid game. Now that might be believable in a regular mafia game, but there are other 4 mafia members who didn't tell me to cut it out early on. The smart mafia TEAM move is to buss Breshke, win cell 2 and consolidate from there. No way mafia sticks their neck out for a completely AFK Breshke. Think that was proven by Breshke not providing any information in the last 24h for town to decipher.

I ask Kush, Shapelog or anyone who saw my scum or town play; does it really feel like i'm playing as mafia right now? Or are you just PoE stratting right now? I've been way more engaged, posted my thoughts-- even if they're unpopular-- and cared more than in my scum game in which I just went with whatever was hip and cool at the time.

Anyways I realize this isn't enough, so I will accompany it with cell reads later. I have confidence that we can win this cell and I won't give up until the end of the day

That's fair. But no one has yet to "get" me on what my supposed endgame as mafia is from my D1 play. Kuragari and I with a bit of Vivax were the only ones who were skeptical of VA, and they are both in later cells. Why would mafia risk losing 2 cells in a row right at the beginning by trying to save a sunken ship? I might be less experienced than some players, but i'm not that dumb. This seems so obvious to me man. It's clear imo that mafia is in a less than ideal situation, and going down 0:2 is desperation mode. Breshke just takes one for the team and cell 2 becomes almost a must win for mafia. Who seems to be playing in must-win-this-cell mode?




5. His attitude before the 50/50 looked like he was scum with Breshke and waiting to see who the 50/50 ends up being on

I don't think any of these posts are bad, and they give me a towny vibe from Breshke. You don't have to be running for mayor to care about cell order. This sounds like someone trying to work through the strategy of cell order from town perspective.

VA I am slightly scum reading right now... I liked Kush's reasoning behind his cell order and where to put easy/hard cells more than VA's argument, but I am not sure if that's alignment indicative yet. Seems like a mafia thing to want: planting the hard cells early so they just win a quick 3-0 or 3-1. VA's only real contribution so far is that on the off chance we get to cell 5 and the game is going, town will have a better chance of winning. I think Kush's approach of win now rather than later is much more town oriented.

Think we should think about 50/50 here if the play doesn't pick up

About FF, since "Most of his posts about other games or kinda useless" and his only relevant post (about Breshke) are bad, FF HAS to be scum right ? Yet he seems super unsure about that fact.
I don't undersatnd the VA scumread. If the scumread was only:
VA's only real contribution so far is that on the off chance we get to cell 5 and the game is going, town will have a better chance of winning

then OK, I would get it. But that shit is overexplained with stuff that is apparently "not alignment indicative yet".

To me, it looks like DF is scum with Breshke, got shit on both FF and VA, and is waiting to see on which the 50/50 is going to fall.


6. He's STILL undecided on who is scum between LS and I
He started by shitting on my reads. Then when I fought back he switched to LS on the "LS scumread me when my reads align with him" thing. Since then he's been undecided. He doesn't know which one of us is scum. Like point 5 where he was undecided between VA and FF, it looks like he's waiting to see who is the easier mislynch between LS and I.

Him defending Breshke is not scum indicative per se (except it is since his reasonning for townreading Breshke is fabricated). But it is NOT town indicative.
This is a game where you win when you get to three points. You scum team can have the best scum in the world, he is only going to bring his team 1 point if he's not lynched. He's not going to carry the game.
In a standard game this defense of "I wouldn't defend my partner hardcore" would be a little more true. Just a little bit, as scum usually don't push or defend each other hardcore. But in this game, where if VA had been lynched scum team would have gotten 1 point, and DF is going to be out of the game after today anyway, there is NO advantages to bus your teammate, as the end result in the best case scenario is a draw.

Conclusion
Lynch him, gets free point.


Defense against this case which has some serious flaws in it:

1. My read on Breshke was not fabricated. I thought that his point regarding leaving active players in the game longer was town indicative, because that's the most beneficial strategy to town imo. We got an AFK cell out of the way early (to the detriment of Breshke) and we got a point out of it. Idk how that post is scum indicative. Also you calling me confirmed scum because I accidentally cited the mayor VC instead of the D1 VC right below is really dumb. "It's way less extreme than it's made out to be" 6/14 and 8/14 is not an "extreme difference." If I had said 11/14 or something, you'd have a point.

2. You are acting like YOU making a shitty town read on VA and VA being town are mutually exclusive. News flash, scum often town read people for bad or illogical reasoning. My point was this: I think it could've been argued that VA was being more towny than Breshke via meta or something, but I strongly disagreed with your original reason to town read VA: "aggressivly posting his thoughts and scumreads." There was nothing aggressive about his play. I've seen aggressive VA town play against ME, which you can read here and there was nothing in his filter at the time that warranted being called aggressive, him posting a few names with no explanation is not aggressive. He never provided any explanation on any of the things you called "aggressive". Again, this strikes me as a potential fabricated reason to claim a TR on someone while bussing your afk scummate. The reason why I said you could be town is that I have seen multiple times where two towns have tunneled each other because they just simply interpret the same information completely differently, and draw the conclusion that the other MUST be mafia because no one would ever disagree with their godlike reads.

3. Ritoky said VA was doing his "town meta thing" and being a dick. Those are not the same attributes as someone playing aggressively. I'm more likely to believe Ritoky because of the percentages, but his read makes a lot more sense to me than you claiming VA was going after people and being aggressive when he wasn't.

4. I'm not spending time meta'ing myself to "prove" i'm towny. I also find it so fucking annoying that meta'ing myself is considered scummy when people have literally crossed LS, you, or both off the list almost solely imo on meta reads. Like how the fuck can someone not be able to fake rage in all caps. Serrrrrioously? I'm frustrated because one of you is using your meta to your advantage cleverly and i'm getting shit for trying to point out the discrepancies in my town vs. scum play. Also @Kush you say I am not good mafia therefore it's likely that I tried to yolo save Breshke basically by myself. Yet bad mafia are bad because they can't change their meta; which is it? Are you suggesting that I did a complete 180 from my Unoriginal game where I flip flopped on everything and didn't engage with my teammates at all, and now i'm not only defending my scummate, i'm putting myself AND MY TEAM in a terrible situation of going down 0:2 because I was scumread-- oh, and I didn't have anyone in QT telling me not to? If you actually think that, I think I deserve an apology when I flip town.

and Rels, who

Rels. Pushing breshke doesn't get you that much town cred. I wonder what is your towniest post.

It does. I am a strong scum, I could have maybe get VA lynched instead of Breshke. Probably not but I would have probably tried, then use that same defense DF is using right now: "hey if I was scum I wouldn't have defended my partner like that!". Even if I didn't try, I would have never pushed my partner like I did, especially before knowing FF was confirmed town.


Okay, you contend that you are a strong scum, so you could've defended Breshke and gotten VA lynched. Yet you also seem to suggest that I am NOT strong scum, so I wasn't going to get VA lynched. I guess I just forgot how shitty my scum play was last game, and thought I could Rambo my way through a 50/50 teammate save. You say you probably would've tried; I contend that you wouldn't have, because you're smart scum.

- It was pretty clear to most people there was a high chance 50/50 is gonna be used on cell 1
- Last thing you want as mafia cell 2, is to look bad on a cell that's 50/50. Let me explain: even if you win the cell, you will most likely get scum read for it and lose the second cell, so at best you're tied 1:1; at worst, you defend Breshke hardcore, he flips scum, then you die and you're down 0:2. You're smart and realize this, and you can-- on the surface-- incriminate me for my play, so you just decide to do that.
- In short, mafia would never choose a 50/50 cell 1 to be their Waterloo when they're in cell 2 and their cell 1 mate has been AFK forever; the chances of going down 0:2 are just too damn high, and Rels is the type of person to be aware of this. Mafia almost certainly loses if they go down 0:2 early.

5. You claim I didn't commit to a read on Breshke's cell before the 50/50 in fear, but I LITERALLY DID. It was basically Breshke town lean, FF null, VA scum lean. That isn't having a null read on everyone and winging it. You even quoted it. Now it's fine to disagree with my reads, but to claim I didn't have reads is misrepresenting me once again

6. My line of questioning against LS regarding his similar reads with me but also scum reading me is probably one of the most towny things I've done all game. To think that you're trying to spin it into some bullshit scum read about being unsure is just that: bullshit. News flash to you, I know one of you two are mafia, but at that time I was unsure. Naturally i'm gonna point out scummy looking things from the two of you. Another bad, bad evidence piece from someone who is normally good at cases... when you're town.

7. You contend that me defending Breshke isn't town indicative; well I suggest that your bus of Breshke is not town indicative either, specifically because of the 50/50 mechanic. You are a much better mafia to be town read than Breshke. You can affect the game more being in for two days, and being town read for two whole cells. Best part is, when you lynch me, town isn't told whether you or LS is mafia, so cell 2 is much more important than cell 1 for a mafia down 0:1, in that sense.

One last thing: I think Rels not wanting to use audience is scum indicative. While it would be a bummer to use both powers on two cells, the potential to go up 2:0 as town is CERTAINLY worth it. We should also keep in mind that the audience will probably not be as engaged later in the game per what ritoky said, and right now there is at most like 1/howevermany mafia influence. Compared to 50/50, audience gets exponentially less reliable as the game goes on, so Rels wanting to "save" it for later when more mafia are in the obs qt, and fewer obs people are paying attention, is ideal from mafia pov.
Let's remember

Well what do you think of his respons(es) to my post earlier? and what about him from star wars? Is he telling the truth in his post? what?

Darth corrected himself after remembering Star Wars was played with with our entire cell lol......... It was true I did get townread pretty quickly in that game compared to Onegu so(shrugs). Darth just never had the pleasure of having to deal with scum Rels twice(His scum game was pretty solid). About people's responses to your post: Ritoky does have a decent point about my cell being easier to read as the game goes on. Doesn't help Rels haven't posted yet :\


Few things about LS: read through his filter, and besides the one post I didn't like, there wasn't much from scum pov imo. I also think he was town read as quickly as Star Wars by people who know him better than I do, so I think he's more likely to be town than Rels.

TL;DR: I'm not mafia. Who's mafia in my cell? Rels. Way too much cherry picking, misrepresenting and illogical reads from a smart town perspective imo.

Starting to think LS is mafia with Damdy and they founded team babbyrage to get themselves TR.

I don't think so. There are multiple reasons DF is scum, and even if you don't think the rage is town indicative, LS is playing like he does as town when apparently he's way more timid as scum.


What about the points on Damdy?

Maybe he's scum. I can see him faking emotion way more easily than LS. He's been super underwhelming past N0. His read on Breshke is super passive as you said, and even afterwards (maybe he's town for not wanting the 50/50 to be used immediately, then later "he's a policy lynch"). Now he has an excuse to be AFK.


To specifically talk about this. Even you said when I explained myself it wasn't that horrible but breahke did 0 things after that so I changed my stance with the lack of information and focused on something I had information on the next cell.

As for the now has an excuse to be afk don't be a total moron and try to make nai things into alignment indicative things. Exactly why you are annoying to play with sometimes.

since your interview is right now, starting tonight or tomorrow you will be able to play properly right ?
Hope you nail it BTW

Trying to type/format my reads on my phone is incredibly irritating. Don't hold it against me that I won't post Cell C reads until I get home.

Also feels like Rels knows LS is town because I'm not buying this "emotion" bullshit. Just being able to make that assumption without anything else feels like a cop out and he knows something we don't

Beyond that I need to actually read the filters and stop skimming over them like it helps. This game is too much work, maybe I should have asked to be in the first cell.

In Nutcracker LS and I was town. I thought LS was scum:

Here is his filter from this game:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/499399-tl-mafia-lxxiii-the-nutcracker?user=LightningStrike

It's a schocking difference. LS as town in dark tournament mafia posted reads, questionned stuff and overall looked to solve the game. In this game, he had NO game-related post until I asked him for a list of reads.

I think this guy is scum.
