I'm starting to get the sad realisation that 48h cycles for forum mafia is going to be too difficult with all I have going on going forward, but I figure I'll try a post-restricted game to see how I really fare. 40 posts per cycle is actually really low so catching up with reading should not be a problem thankfully. | ||

Reading through so far, here are my thoughts. Damdred (88/89)/gumshoe (posts 93/95)- townleans, I agree with most of the points said on them thus far. DYH I'm reading post 85/87 I can see those coming from both alignments so I'm going to wait for further comments. Tictock is a townlean for the breakdown in post 112. Seeing a few arguments about people being underwhelming, it's a poor argument to have been made <10h into the game, but that's just me. SL, DYH, GB based on their openers are all people that I'd need to see more content from. SL in particular has both active and lazy town and scum metas. My scum leans so far are Tumbleweed and LightningStrike based on the focus on their posts. I'll go into detail in the next post. Although I get a towny sentiment from Koshi, I also don't understand Koshi's scumreasoning for Fecalfeast, - I skimmed the latter's filter and I see a lot of the lazy Fecalfeast meta, I didn't understand Koshi's words about "town should be grilling sicklucker" when depending on the player it's not necessarily always the case, it was obvious to me that sicklucker was facetious. Additionally, Fecalfeast "not making a difference" is not necessarily exclusively mafia indicative for him. For the games I've played with him, he has both lazy town and mafia metas, but even in his lazy town meta, he will try and do something at some point. We're a bit early in the cycle to pass judgement IMO. To sum it up, Fecalfeast could be mafia but not necessarily for that. | ||

My concern with Tumbleweed lies in 101 and 110. The gist of it is that he is posting for the sake of posting and the questions are very open-ended with the argument that the information he's getting from it will not be helpful with determining alignments. 101 The comment on Shapelog is clearly answered if he'd read the thread - Shapelog by his own admission said his first five posts - of which one was quoted - was fluff. So he's asking a question already answered. It's possible town can neglect to read carefully but lets proceed to the next point. The comment on Lightning Strike was bad (and this is part of why I this LS could be mafia) - it is townreading LS for a poor reason. LS in the quoted statement says Tictock "blatantly" doesn't want to stir up discussion - Tictock may not want to post if he has nothing to contribute ESPECIALLY in a post-restricted game. So for him to take an NAI point and paint it as mafia indicative is poor, and by extension the townread is poor. 110 Same concern as in 101, non sequitur means illogical (more or less) so placing that expectation within the first few posts of the game is just meh. It seems forced. Moving on to LS, which is easily explained. Post 96 is a poor reason (or at least a weak reason) to townread Gumshoe, or at least the reason he gave. As stated before my bigger concern is with post 101 though, trying to make something that is alignment indicative which isn't necessarily so. | ||

Voting LightningStrike now. On post 123, I get what you (LS) are trying to say, but regardless of the post-restriction, that does not make him mafia, never mind you failed to notice/observe/whatever his subsequent post, and if you did it hasn't changed your opinion on him. Look at people like sicklucker and Fecalfeast, those two are hanging back to some extent - and Koshi even mentioned the same - so from your perspective why the double standard or at least why not take note of them? | ||

LS, I drink wine as town and whisky as mafia. Fidei was the one who drinks Sauvignon Blanc after mislynches. Get it right please. ![]() On a serious note, though, I'm still concerned you think (confirm/deny????) Tictock could be mafia? Clarify that please? You haven't said jack all on that after it was pointed out. I can buy the point on SL, but Fecalfeast is lazy and has been so as both alignments. I was mafia in Dark Tournament with him - the game which you reference - so I know for a fact his laziness wasn't what made him mafia, it was the manner in which he bussed me after I was (effectively) redchecked. (Mage being the free DT check in that case.) That drew Shining's attention after I flipped not because he was a low-volume poster. As stated, there is still likely Fecalfeast could be mafia but this isn't the reason why. I am going to use other criteria to evaluate him. (NB: Everyone else, I bring this up since LS relies heavily on meta to read people.) Irregardless, I'm not picking at you because you're an "easy" target - there are IMO a number of contentious statements/arguments in your posts that I'm trying to pick out just like I did in SOTW 2. Also I'm confused at best by you referencing the games on yourself - by your own admission you changed your meta very recently, so I'm just trying to take your posts in this game, in isolation and work from there. | ||

Aside from (potentially) myself, and Shape as mentioned, as scumreads, Tumbleweed, why are you not townreading or leaning some of the others? Particularly Damdred, Koshi and Tictock and the content that they've produced? At the very least I'm curious to hear on this. Are you actually scumreading anyone else? Additionally, are you suggesting that how I am scumreading you is coming from a scum point of view? I have never played with you before so that is what I tend to do with unfamiliar players if I find something questionable. | ||

Shapelog, I'll rephrase the question. Tumbleweed, on the basis you townread LS (and I argued why it was poor), why couldn't that same critieria also come from mafia? That is mainly what I was trying to get at. I feel the bases for all his reads are pretty weak and I just don't know if that's his style (which you are contending) or whether he's actually mafia, the posts seem scummy to me. Also regarding post 134, the inset is part of the reason I scumread LS, double standard. Also just because I vote someone doesn't mean it's final. If I have reason to second guess my thinking or I find a better lynch I can always unvote. | ||

(Even more so with the post-restriction, I will make sure that I avoid EBWOPs.) Also read your filters from Storm and NSM20, first couple of pages you are pretty open-ended and then your arguments even if wrong, were still a bit more substantial than early game. So I can buy the argument that your play isn't outside the scope of town play. I can see posts 139/140/144 coming from a town Tumbleweed. In fact 144 was also what I was thinking about GB. (More on that below.) On April 21 2016 01:48 Koshi wrote: Pure on guts I am inclined to believe LS over HTS. Rereading HTS her posts I somehow can see it coming from scum because it is pretty emotionless and at points over explained. [...] I also have a feeling that she can't or won't commit on a read on FF and hides after a lot of words and "lazy meta can go both ways" [...] Your gut is wrong but since you mentioned the lack of commitment I'll go ahead and give you examples as to why I said what I did: Town lazy meta - most recently NSM 18 (I coached a townie), Carol and Titanic 7 (I remember these because I tried getting him lynched for his laziness out of ignorance) Town active meta - Not Themed Mafia (I was scum and buddied the shit outta him) Mafia active meta - Carnaval do Brasil, Ippo (hosted/cohosted these games) Mafia lazy meta - Dark Tournament (we were mafia together) So no, I have enough knowledge and direct interaction with him that I shouldn't commit to a read and that I am deliberately waiting to see more. On GB, GB's been around here long enough to know that bolding names is the same as voting for them, that's how it's done. So I also don't understand post 142 - I wonder if GB is trying to make something out of nothing (which is scummy). sicklucker explicitly said in post 118 his posts were just for reactions. It is implied that he's gotten nothing out of them (second sentence). GB I'm curious as to whether you have any reads on anyone else. Your filter exclusively focus on sicklucker, there's been quite a bit of stuff happening with other people. | ||

Koshi, assuming you are town, I think you are completely misunderstanding most of how I'm presenting things. I'll start with post 148. If you wanted me to sum up in 1-2 lines the 5 liner that you are having issues with, what I'm saying to you is that you are town, but I think you're wrong on Fecalfeast - and I'm just explaining why - and my basis for that is the more intimate knowledge that I have on him (better explained in post 147). That's it. Post 149 what I was getting at there is that your argument for him for being underwhelming is something I considered NAI (again better explained in post 147), and that other criteria that will revolve around me better able to evaluate him (i.e. voting, VCA, NK analysis, late game play). Right now, he's null - hence the wording "he could be mafia". Because right now the state of his play could be coming from either alignment. Am I making better sense? | ||

I honestly have no idea at this juncture why people are trying to lynch me aside from overexplanation (which I explained at least twice now in thread), but it also seems like my points on GB (and he hasn't returned since) also got lost in the shuffle. Damdred and Koshi, hedging on what exactly? I gave my explicit reasons for waiting on Fecalfeast at the time I did. The first few posts when he re-entered, particularly the comment on Fidei, seems reflective of his town game. Damdred, you might want to read gumshoe's post on me - he actually understood what I was trying to say on Koshi and his read on Fecalfeast. Also you are completely ignoring why I backtracked on Tumbleweed. Try again, or at least read my filter, I know you are one to play a lot on mobile, so assuming you are not mafia trying to get a mislynch, you very well might have missed what I did to get where I am now. Re: Koshi, I read his filter a few times as we were going back and forth and I get the sense he's town even if he's dead wrong on me. Right now, based on the people I've looked at, GB and LS both look the most suspicious, but I haven't read in depth from page 8 other than the accusations. I'd also like to see more from sicklucker. IIRC he played a semi-inactive scum game in Drams. We're just north of the halfway point so I do want to see some serious reads soonish. Updated reads from DYH (yes I know he's generally low volume, but still) and Shapelog would be great. Will probably read Shapelog again given what Tumble said about the quality of his answers, but seeing as how a lot of my townreads are playing and the number of people that have posted less than me, I get the feeling someone has me fooled, one mafia is pushing my lynch and the third is really playing under the radar. Fidei, the last game I played full stop with LS was Dark Tournament (unaliased, mind you), even the smurf game aside, LS has been upfront about changing his meta since Cell mafia so I am approaching all his posts at face value. As in, yes he's giving reads, but I am checking into why he's making them. | ||

LS, regarding your followthrough with Tictock (post 137, first quote) because your filter isn't very clear, where do you (LS) stand on him now and why? You have through posts 177 and 182 responding to him, but you haven't actually said anything regarding his alignment since you scumread him for his opening salve.

And roughly about the time I wrote this statement, it is 24 hours in.

[10? idk, I just say 10] I was going to make a post about you possibly being scum and then I lost it in all the tabs I have open here - I'm reading your filter and you don't have concrete reads on ANYONE. I mean you investigated Tictock and you deferred on Tumble, but some of the others? I would have expected you by at least post 135 to have at LEAST scumread me based on my interactions with you, but you didn't even do that, Koshi's first scumread on me came about an hour after you hedged (yes I checked timestamps). You've made these observations but I don't feel they are adding anything of value to the discussion alignment wise. I've also been the elephant in the room, so to speak....and you've said jack all on me. | ||

Going through more filters - here are some more interesting observations On April 21 2016 05:09 Tictock wrote: Right now I wouldn't be opposed to lynching any of these people for varying reasons. 4. Shapelog 6. Fidei86 7. DoYouHas 8. Tumblewood 9. GlowingBear 11. LightningStrike Why was sicklucker left off this list? Also I looked into Damdred... I was getting leery of Damdred for a bit given his position on me, and his reaction given the way LS was already responding to pressure in the context of the conversation (note FF's post quoted by Damdred, the same one others have commented on) Additionally, he was still willing to lynch me over LS at the time Koshi changed votes (nb: Koshi, your vote isn't in the vote thread, but I digress) - see page 10. So that is a bit curious. On April 21 2016 06:24 Damdred wrote: [...] As for ls I had a scum read in one of my posts about his opening and him rehashing earlier posts. Now I think he's been ok, he's been helpful and has tried to eliminate people based off meta. I'm not 100% it makes him lock town but it's enough to give him time see how he handles lynch without pressure on him and what he does with his time. On April 21 2016 07:06 Damdred wrote: And this is different than every other game how? Anyway I'm going to hedge on hts now until tommorow. It is bothering me sl is getting so little attention especially with his lack of try hard as s um lately. ...but then I saw this post by Damdred which I actually thought was pretty damn good. On April 21 2016 06:04 Damdred wrote: TT why do you ignore everything posted on hts which isn't bad even if it's in early stages, only look at tumble to scum read but ignore ff who you were unhappy with his answer to you but didn't put him in your lynch list when he semi dodged you? And looking at Tumbleweed's filter, the last three posts he was scumread for? The final two in post where he voted Tumbleweed was correcting himself. The point was very valid one to make on GB. So I'm actually conflicted on Damdred here - Koshi given your input on LS, I'm curious to hear your viewpoint on Damdred since his behaviour parallels LS's in this fashion (again, read bottom of page 9 through 10 where you change your vote). But I'd also now like to see updated reads from Tictock. Leaving sicklucker off is quite interesting... So here's where I stand: Will lynch LightningStrike (voting currently) Needs justification/updated reads - most likely at least one scum in here: sicklucker Shapelog Tictock DYH GlowingBear Seemed okay to me prior to leaving - updated reads would help gumshoe Tinfoil mafia (see above breakdown for why, or read pages 9 and 10) Damdred Townlean Tumbleweed - could be copying town meta as scum, but was fine with his latest point on GB. Last post was 5h ago though but updated reads will help. Town Fecalfeast - points on Fidei/LS Koshi - led the push on me and then reconsidered his read on LS Fidei - points as pointed out by Koshi, town meta also recognisable to me I'm stopping here, since I'm knackered. Good night. | ||

I'm a little bothered by the fact that there are 10 out of 13 North American players in this game and yet there was a disproportionately small amount of activity. Damdred, I re-read what you posted after what I posted and I realised I completely misunderstood what you meant about hedging on me between today and tomorrow - I took that as hedging your bets on me. I'll address that and a few other things in another post. I'm going to hit on LS's last two posts as being further problematic and why. (1) In post 212, he dodges the question as to who else is scum (expand the spoiler) in spite of there being a shittone of content at this point from other people and (2) his points about me putting more effort as scum does not in any way address the rebuttal I had in post 201. LS, in case you missed it I'll highlight it yet again. On April 21 2016 07:37 Half the Sky wrote: 11/40 [...] There's effort and quality of effort.

This has nothing to do with the amount of effort I'm putting in as either alignment and at best is a bad argument on your part. This is not about level of effort, this is about my agenda as either alignment, which you are ignoring entirely. Furthermore there are 3-5 players that at this stage are still not contributing a whole lot and the fact that you are saying jack all on a few of these makes me think pre-associative (yes I realise this), that there is a scum in this bunch and that you are trying to not give your teammates away if/when you should flip. This is why I asked you about other scummers - there are three in this game - and wanted to test the possibility of someone being completely tunnelled but this I feel is even less of the case. | ||

As far as I can see, my usual town meta is big long list post on D1 followed up with lots of messages IN ALL CAPS. In our last game where I was scum you were like "oh it's pretty suspicious that he isn't talking very much" - and in this game I've been pretty quiet. If there's one person in the game I'd trust to soul read me, it's you. But I'm suspicious that you just basically echoed Koshi's read on me without even putting any real gloss on it. Here's the thing - I'm aware of your RL commitments in and out of the office. I will not ever talk about people's RL excuses unless OGI is the difference between them getting lynched or not. Right now, that's not the case, you aren't in any way up for lynch. And you almost certainly have even less time to play than you did when I last played with you as town (namely Dark Tournament). I am weighting that into the quality of your play now, in fact your last re-entry post, I am pretty sure I can guess as to why your play is more sporadic. So I'm simply going by what you already have out. "Standard town meta" was probably a VERY poor way of wording that, but what I felt you had out was well within my expectations given your RL commitments. Additionally, you displayed some caution with some of the other tentative players (Tictock, LS) for similar reasons. Also my reads can change. I'm aware for instance, that as mafia, you fall off quite hard. ![]() Tumbleweed, I'm giving you the BoD based on my reading what you had in Storm Mafia and XX for Day 1 and then seeing what you had through post 144. It's reasonable enough for a D1 lean, though based on those two games I'm probably going to weigh more heavily your play in subsequent days. I'd like to see you look a bit more into some of the lower volume posters though and take a stance either way, I realise it's Day 1 but there has been some content at least from DYH and sicklucker. sicklucker, I went through your post and I have a few questions (1) Why is Tictock strong? (2) LS has faked his meta as mafia (which you allude to as cute) in Cell Mafia. Give me something more concrete as to why he's town (3) Shapelog hasn't made concrete reads - that should tell you something. His filter isn't very long... (4) Expand on GB's scum meta of pushing you - I've played with you both quite a bit and I'm completely unaware of it. | ||

Talking about himself doesn't make him scum but the argument that Shape isn't doing or saying anything alignment related with his posts is pretty spot on. I was hoping I'd have seen some clarification after I AFKed but not much in the way of that either. The caveat on Damdred is reasonable. My only concern with DYH is he's not commented on some of the others - at the very least I figured he could have weighed in on LS. There are a couple of other reasons why I think DYH could have posted the way he did but I want to see a bit more out of him. Tumbleweed I noticed you are townreading Tictock for more or less effort. However, Tictock has put effort into his games as scum. Reference Holy Guardians Chapter 1 - he carried the scum team there, and The Nutcracker game - he was putting in quite a bit of effort until the DT redchecked him in mylo. | ||

You can argue a few points against others in this game for the same thing but multiple people now had called out Shapelog for having no stances on people. Nothing committal until this last list post. That said I'm not totally off DYH, like I said before commenting on others he hasn't mentioned yet would help me be able to better read him and weigh him against the other low volume posters for this game. | ||

I'm back, skimmed the thread, and reading filters. I'm seeing the contrarian (non-meta) reasons for townreads on LS to be coming down to a suicidal push on me, the meta reasons for reading him town are out the window unless you've forgotten Cell Mafia so quickly so any emotion he is displaying he's already proven he can fake that as mafia. So I am completely disregarding that. LS would still be my top active lynch. Definitely wouldn't lynch Koshi or Damdred and I need to re-read Tictock, the push on Tumbleweed seemed weird. For the inactives, just skimming filters, sicklucker is by far the top lynch for me in that category. Double checking gumshoe from the beginning atm, but if people aren't lynching LS, then I'd lynch sicklucker for consolidation. | ||

Re-evaluating. I'm seeing a few gaps re-reading some filters. I'll start with Koshi. On April 21 2016 07:42 Koshi wrote: The bolded comes over like a story you just made up to narrate my suspicion on you. I can understand why you meta wise still scumread HTS after she made that post, but I don't understand why you don't tell me that HTS could still be mafia after I made it clear I townread her for it. And the fact you made the post about HTS being mafia was triggered by FF saying you discredit a lot of people and are not looking for mafia. And you scumreading HTS still doesn't explain why you used my name to legitimize your scumread on HTS. It also feel like you kinda spewed both Damdred and Koshi town by saying. "I had the same read as Koshi and Damdred, so fuck off" Which is not exactly what you said but it felt like that. I am also somewhat puzzled by the fact you are not trying to save your posts. You are just blatantly spamming and I don't think that is very townie of you. You must understand that your posts become more valuable the closer to the deadline. Anyway LS, I will probably follow Damdred his read on you. Please try to keep good track of your posts and don't let me baffle you too much. Also, if you really believe HTS is mafia. Make sure you have good long and solid posts left near deadline on why she is mafia. Because we will need solid posts to lynch her. I just read HTS her posts and she brings up a really good point that I also wanted to bring up but didn't. You close your eyes to the quality of that post. On April 22 2016 04:43 Koshi wrote: 7. DoYouHas 9. GlowingBear 12. gumshoe These 3 people look fine to lynch. I think I want to keep HTS around. But I think LS is at least twice more townie than HTS.

So Koshi, you were pushing LS for at least 4 posts (page 1 of your filter) until page 11 of the thread. I read from 11 through 14, specifically in context as to what LS was posting regarding his push on me and who else other than myself could be mafia in his eyes. What I cannot account is how LS played between the changes in your reads on him - what exactly did he post or what did he do that changed your mind on him? I can guess in context as to why you were scumreading me but where is the justification for your change in read on LS? I see Damdred made his read RIGHT before that final quote (and you said you'd sheep him) but further pulling this sequence apart, he made no other comments on LS prior to the quote where you said LS was more townie than myself. Independent of Damdred, you gave him some degree of townieness after you spent some time pushing him (and even voted) - so what gives there? | ||

Blargh never mind. I thought I saw an issue with Tictock, but after re-reading he concludes town on Koshi. He'd called his LS read bull prior to Koshi changing his stance on LS but his final read was town based on other criteria. Meh. Reconstructing the votes against sicklucker and FF in the voting thread, I have 4 on him, 3 on FF before gumshoe switched effectively hammering FF. The two solo votes that emerged in the thick of the two wagons forming were DYH on Shapelog and gumshoe on Tictock (prior to the switch on FF). I know that there was a back and forth between gumshoe and Tictock that I'll look into later... But this DYH push on Shape and wagon evaluation would appear to come from a townie mindset. On April 22 2016 06:55 DoYouHas wrote: @koshi, Shape talking about himself a bunch while not being productive is indicative of a scum mindset. It implies that he is worried about how the thread is perceiving him, which is more likely to come from scum. @the rest of you, Shape's read on me is seriously suspicious: I had just put suspicion on him, my doing so became a point of contention between HtS and Koshi(his top town read). He glazes over my pressure. His entire list post is yelling, "your right DYH, I'm going to fix what you just attacked me for". Which would be all well and good, but then I wouldn't be null to him. I would be scum pushing a bad wagon or I would be misguided town that should be reasoned with. On April 22 2016 07:28 DoYouHas wrote: There is something wrong here, either in my reads or in this wagon. Top scum is voting with top town on someone I considered nullish. I have to re-evaluate everyone - when I see most of the reactions in this thread to the lynch and the number of people that have said something along the lines of "game is hard" "weird" "something's not right" and this chaotic EoD.....scum are playing well. Really well. Of the scumteam, I have a hunch someone's got me fooled, someone's either suggesting or pushing my lynch and someone's doing a great job of playing under the radar and right now I can't really put my finger on it. I'm looking at the votes and I know I'm town so we had two town wagons, possibly three (sicklucker, though I'm not fully positive, but likely based on the votes) the solo voters are annoying and I'm pretty sure there's one in the solo votes but looking at how everyone and everything shifted, there HAS to be one person jumping around, I had 3 votes at points in the cycle total, with Koshi and Fecalfeast willing to shennanie. (Tictock suggested SL) People that voted for FF at any given point: Tumblewood, Koshi, Damdred, Gumshoe, Half the Sky, Shapelog People that voted sicklucker at any given point: gumshoe, hts, shapelog, Damdred, FF (Tictock) People that voted for me at any given point: LS, SL, Damdred, (FF, Koshi) Starting point for me I think when I pick up again but I'm stopping here for the night. | ||

LS, that was the whole point of me illustrating the wagons the way I did and reconstructing the votes - this whole "big resistance to my lynch" argument is a moot point - had everyone of those people been on me at the SAME time, that is what would have happened esp given the nr of solo voters we had. It was clear as day that town were extremely disorganised and I'm giving this viewpoint of the wagons knowing my own alignment. Now the remaining townies can choose not to believe me, and that's fine, but if/when I flip, this is the knowledge they get to proceed with. It is obvious to most experienced players that shooting me (or at least DT checking me) gives you info on me and people who were voting me. I cannot fault any investigative role for taking that decision if that's what they want to do. The people who were townreading me had legit reasons to do so and/or called the wagon a bad one. Yes it's true that scum can defend me or whomever they can choose, but there were enough people townreading me or not willing to lynch me D1 that they cannot all be scum. So the "big resistance" argument does not entirely hold water and I get sceptical of anyone pushing that idea entirely instead of taking something I actually DID (i.e. the vote switching? fine) that makes me mafia in their eyes. I cannot control how half the player roster votes. sicklucker while I want to say is town based on the votes alone, the question is why he would choose to isolate me from the others that brought his name up. I was not the only one that brought his name up on the fly, the others are just as guilty as he suggested. Thinking it through, he wouldn't know gumshoe, Shapelog or Tictock (see first quote), but why me over Fecalfeast or even Damdred - if he was so afk he would have questioned everyone (he knew) voting him.

Also gauging their interactions with each other and in the context of the end of day voting, I am also of the opinion that there is one mafia between Tictock and gumshoe (expand quotes for the fuller picture) On April 22 2016 06:44 gumshoe wrote: My issue with tick is not that he accused me, it's that he first town read me and then scum read me for what was kind of the same content.

Also another point against Tumbleweed - lack of followthrough from post 386. Just realised that too. Still reading. I have a sense of paranoia as to how Koshi was playing Day 1 based on how selective he was with certain people, I felt at times he called people out for things that could have have been applied to others. Despite my giving reasons for deliberately ignoring FF at the time I did. He kept accusing me of undermining him which was pretty weird. He called out FF....why not sicklucker? Yeah he was active, but he seemed agenda-ish. And the change on reads for LS before sheeping Damdred was still weird. And should TW especially flip red, it is interesting he paid no mind (I don't think??) to the likes of TW, SL, and very little on Shapelog throughout the cycle. In fact read his filter. He has said ZERO on Tumbleweed and sicklucker prior to End of Day. Associative yes, but it's something of note, especially when he voted FF who was town, he was going to switch to me and I'm town, and he voted LS at one point. His defence of sicklucker amounted to too scummy to be scum, which IMO is a bad argument. On April 22 2016 05:46 Koshi wrote: Dnu. I think sl is actually so extremely horrible he is maybe not mafia :/ On April 22 2016 07:00 Koshi wrote: sicklucker has been posting the last 13mins in the other game it seems. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/506344-a-normal-game-just-for-jat-3?page=91 That would be really a dick move to his scum partners. The latter of which is moot when sicklucker has demonstrated lazy scum games before thus his participation in another game is moot. Something isn't sitting right with me on Koshi. Maybe my paranoia's off and he's town. But something isn't sitting right. | ||

After I saw the VC (which came after the deadline) I made the commit about it being swing, but by that time, time was up for me. As my clock was ahead by a min (6:29). that is basically it. If i had more Time i would argue and switch but I didn't I can believe this and I remember your dialogue inquiring his vote on me. I remember almost running into a hosting issue because your clock was off by a minute in Star Wars and you called End of Day a minute early. In any case, I still have to re-read your filter, but you wouldn't be my top d2 lynch anyhow. GB, if you have problems with Koshi/gumshoe/LS, or if you still do, why not discuss more openly? Or at least discuss Koshi with me? If you don't trust me, fine, but I posted about Koshi twice in the night phase. What do you think? LS you were also suspicious of Koshi. Why? | ||

The votes were shambolic and we needed to consolidate, we still had a shittonne of solo voters, but I was interested in consolidation if my primary wagon wasn't headed anywhere. Same thing I told you that I told Damdred - read the process I used (my filter) where I deliberated between sicklucker and Fecalfeast. That tells you why I switched.

Not making a list post as I'm still re-reading. I am sure Damdred is town, LS is probably town. Gumshoe seems to be more townie given night phase, I still feel I might need more to be a bit more confident in him. . Tictock I am still re-reading. The self meta is whatever, but I do know he has had suboptimal town games, which isn't farfetched when town bombed d1. Shapelog I gotta read more. Koshi, I have Koshi-phobia because he could be mafia. Fidei I am just putting him in his own category, he's drunk and overworked, could be possible as either alignment but if he starts falling off hard, then I would lynch into him because I know for a fact he hates mafia.

His list post wasn't terrible and I kinda doubt he'd back off LS with the reasoning "hes so cute and trying hard" as scum. So while SL is being very low key this game I'm not feeling like that is scum indicative. That could go either way, but Tictock was pushing TW all D1. Also the associative read is based on agenda (1) why did he called sicklucker useless and then question why he was getting lynched before sicklucker came back in thread (6 minutes per timestamps) - the former part of that is what is called soft pushing which is what scumbuddies do with each other. There is lack of follow through. It's obvious if you read TW's filter. (2) he jumped on fecalfeast for a really shady reason before questioning why people were switching to sicklucker. (3) after the lynch he tries to distance by saying "why did you sheep me" (4) End of Night, he all of a sudden out of nowhere says sicklucker is looking weirdest to me at the moment. It's a clear bus. It was out of nowhere and it was well after he was feeling pressure. (5) To add to 4, sicklucker did hardly anything to change TW's read from a nautral perspective. Especially when TW criticised him before but did nothing about it - his reads are/were inconsistent with his actions, which shows an agenda, now he needs the cred because he's under pressure. | ||

It looks weird. I know it's associative but I can't help it, especially when Koshi was light on SL. (2) gumshoe is more likely to be mafia for his switch to FF - this is PURELY on the votes though and not taking into account his gameplay. But voting alone it makes him look worse. (3) Shapelog is more probable town since he was on SL the longest. Additionally my suspected scum Tumble cast a negative light on all three of us at the tail of the FF lynch so maybe it's possible we're all town here. (4) Fidei and GB are coinflips based on how they played the lynch. (5) If Tumbleweed flips mafia as I would expect, then Tictock is likely town. If Tumbleweed and sicklucker are both mafia, then I will go as far to say Koshi is the final mafia. There is a very strong association and Koshi's defence of sicklucker was too scummy to be scum. For postgame cred: Koshi/Tumbleweed/sicklucker It would make sense given Koshi's selective reasoning Day 1, and how he was pushing mostly if not all townies left right and centre, didn't bring up Tumbleweed at all Day 1. If Koshi is town, then mafia are in GB/Fidei with a VERY outside shot of Shapelog or DYH. Thoughts? Discussion? | ||

I feel he said that because people were calling him scum for things at the time (while SL wasn't heavily talked about) and he felt like he should have a opinion on him. have to relook though. Regarding your question it's an issue of double standards. It's not the same EXACT reason he used for scumreading both, but he could have easily said "omg sicklucker is STILL useless - let's vote him instead!!!!" I might not be articulating it well but you have to take his entire read progression as a whole to kinda grasp what I'm driving at. He showed preference towards FF in the lynch over sicklucker. We now know the alignment of both. That is really what I'm trying to say. Ah, and whoever the vigilante is, I could kiss you right now. You've made town's lives shittonne easier. <3 <3 <3 <3 | ||

Alright, the vig claim (which I'll believe) - I'll reconstruct. ##unvote I'm concerned for GB, not only just as a solo vote, but if you look at his questions to Damdred in night phase, it appears to such like a combination of buddying and abdication of blame (he was a solo voter but tried to guilt Damdred for not realising the wagon wasn't hitting mafia). Also look at whom he suggested - Koshi/gumshoe/LS. I am still somewhat leery with Koshi (pending re-read of his most recent posts - I'm not fully caught up), but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere with anything. The biggest indicator of an associative read between GlowingBear and SL might be Day 1, look at how the SL read just DROPS from post 142 to 253 and after. And considering how SL pushed me and that GB didn't put me on his post-lynch suspicion list (recap: it was Koshi/LS/gumshoe), it is quite suspicious. Post requoted: On April 21 2016 02:11 GlowingBear wrote: 4 Ok since SL never answered me, I must say I don't like his posts He has an opening calling Damdred "null" (the only thing I can understabd from bolding a name) because damdred was wasting posts. This is bad because: 1) It is impossible to have contentful posts in the beginning of the game 2) Calling someone null is saying something someone did is not alignment indicative, which means (I) he is wasting a post because he is saying nothing contributive, and (ii) he is trying to look contributive while saying nothing at all. Wanting to lynch LS in the beginning of the game for wasting posts just reinforces this perspective On April 22 2016 03:04 GlowingBear wrote: I know the case on SL isn't the strongest. Although I think his attitude was suspicious, I only wanted to keep developing discussion. I also like to push a target in a way everything is explained in details, whatever slignment he is, because I think mafia has a hard time covering all aspects of their stories. Regardless if a post is NAI or AI, a hard push will almost always reveal inconsistencies if the player's intention is made up Some feedback on that would be nice. | ||

I also noticed one minor mistake in last night's reconstruct, so I'll re-colour with Tumbleweed in blue... Shapelog I feel from pure voting is unlikely to be mafia, otherwise he was in the process of engineering a sick bus on sicklucker. IDK. I need to double check that read progression.

I think there's one mafia between Koshi/gumshoe based on the Fecalfeast wagon. Fidei had been all over the shop with his reads, but I gotta re-read him. From votes alone, Shapelog is looking better but I need to see whether shit is off between him and sicklucker. I know sicklucker commented jack all on him, it was all about me. DYH - I will put questions to him in another post. He's just posted too little and we just need more informations from him. Tictock, if mafia is a sleeper mafia...but I'm doubting it based on the quality of his posts. I'm doubting it at the moment. I'll re-read that filter that to be sure. For now, it's one of in Koshi/gumshoe as mafia. Fidei needs a review, Shapelog needs a review for filter. There is one mafia somewhere in DYH/GlowingBear. Tictock and LS I am thinking are town. This is where I stand atm. | ||

If I absolutely had to pick a mafia between gumshoe and Koshi....right now? I'd say gumshoe. One additional point from the votes against gumshoe is the 2315 mark - where gumshoe is the 4th vote when sicklucker is the lynch in a 3:3 tie (voting thread) by a 6 minute spread (Damdred switched to FF). A late vote like that indicates he could have been bussing sicklucker, and these posts don't help that position. On April 22 2016 07:14 gumshoe wrote: I kinda get the feel sl doesn't care about this game, normally when you have scum mates your kinda invested / : as you let down your team when you scrub it up. Ff is the better choice methinks. On one hand this is a bad reason to townread or eliminate SL from contention even ignoring SL's meta, which I'll make the assumption gumshoe didn't know. Big list post he's nulling SL day 1. No interaction after SL's re-entry. Not much in the night phase.... If they are both town, then we have a real problem on our hands because that would mean Shapelog is playing really well or all the mafia voted off wagon. And vig being an investigative role means we most likely do not have a DT as our second role. It's possible but not likely. DYH - questions for you. I'm reading your filter. Your latest reads: On April 23 2016 07:28 DoYouHas wrote: Shape - We'll be getting into this more today, but my original reasons for voting him are still good and he is likely scum. Koshi - I want to say Koshi's active and aggressive style is town. But he jumped up and down on me for valid points against Shape. He jumped up and down on HtS for the null read of FF while ignoring things I thought pointed to her being town. I don't think we get into the EoD we had without at least 1 scum in the movers and shakers. (Koshi, HtS, Damd, and maybe TT) Koshi pushed the lynch of 2 town for sure and probably 3. He is attacking town, leading lynches on town and after being proven wrong on FF he still wants to off HtS instead of stepping back and reassessing. Thinking he could be scum. HTS - She seems focused and productive. I like the way she pursued her scumreads on LS and TW early. She isn't getting mad at all the pressure thrown her way, trying to talk to people. Last time I caught her as scum she used her higher activity to spread suspicion on lots of the town and then letting others take up her ideas and run with them. She isn't doing that here. Only her EoD vote leaves doubt for me. According to NM HtS voting off her main targets to lynch someone scumming her is a big tell. I'm still going with my gut and thinking she is town. Fid - I'm pretty familiar with Fid's scum game. I don't think this is it. Scum fid would be even less active than he has been here. He wouldn't be shying away from getting into it with LS like we are seeing here. The well-documented troubles that Fid has with LS would be a great excuse to fake activity without producing content. I also don't think we would see that drunk post from scum Fid. SL - I'm putting off making a decision on him. I don't have strong feelings either way and he promised more activity today. Damdred - Cautiously optimistic. Gumshoe - Cautiously optimistic. LS - dunno TW, GB, TT havent gotten to yet I see we're on the same page re: Koshi, prob Fidei. Admittedly a point against you is that there was zero interaction between you and sicklucker, either way. (1) Do you think Shape's voting patterns make him less likely mafia in your eyes? Or are you seeing something in those too that I might be not? (Anyone else?) (2) We're going to need you to weigh in on GlowingBear and gumshoe. I gotta AFK again. I'll finish thoroughly reading later today or tonight... | ||

EBWOP from #519, That should have read to DYH "I see we're on the same page with Koshi, prob not Fidei" the filter re-reads are on my to-do list.... And LS, I'm going through your filter, you haven't really produced too much in the way of new reads or scumteam proposals. Mind commenting on (1) GlowingBear (2) Koshi (3) DYH (4) Fidei (5) gumshoe With respect to voting patterns and/or generally reading them I'm aware the associative shit might be hard so stick to the first two unless you want to crack it... Now I really gotta roll. Really wish I wasn't so damned pressed for time these days. | ||

I'm trying to isolate those on the FF wagon, and those who were solo voters, and then using other (non-voting) criteria to eliminate or townread or whatever. I'm of the working theory that of the two remaining mafia, there was one mafia that was on FF and one mafia that was a solo voter. "Between you and DYH" implies that of the solo voters, you two are lookign like the most mafia to me, not that any interactions between you and DYH means one of you is mafia. Sorry for the confusion. | ||

I'm referring to the fact that most people on Fecalfaest are town, I was working with the theory that one person on that wagon is mafia, one was in the solo voters, and one was pushing my lynch (which was true in sicklucker). It is collectively a town pile on. Tictock, I missed your question. Re: LS, I continued reading his filter into how he kept pushing me and why. He also really believed in his case, and the manner in which he's been tunnelled and the fact no one is really step in makes me think our clash was town on town. I know conversationally he's not a town leader type player though, so I am dealing with LS atm in the way I know how. | ||

On April 24 2016 02:54 Tictock wrote: I'm at work so not gunna bother with quotes atm. I really don't have a read on DYH so I glanced at his filter. I noticed he never really gave a read on SL till his list post at night and even then he basically just said he didn't want to make a read yet. Could very well be lurking mafia but I'd place him closer to a null read based on a few of his posts having decent thinking. @HtS what made you change your mind on LS? Idk about Shape, need to give a proper look at his filter (actually I'm not sure if I've even bothered to open his yet). On the one hand my gut read is leaning town but the quality of his posts feels a little lacking and are reminiscent of his play later on as scum in Storm. HtS's point about his vote on SL is decent, but I don't think it's as strong as she is making it out to be. Think thats all for now. I just read Shapelog's filter for testing the waters against an associative read between Shapelog and sicklucker. Going to be honest here, it looks pretty damn organic to me. It's possible he's made a sick bus though, and one can argue if it was clear sicklucker was going to half ass the game Shapelog could try and buy the cred. Doublechecking timestamps, Shapelog's first anti-sicklucker post comes in at 6h20 prior to EoD: On April 22 2016 01:10 Shapelog wrote: SaltShaker Kinda debating putting him in the scum lean cat. (I did) I would expect him to do more after saying most people are going to wait to post (his 3rd post.) Also this post really doesn't give much if you look at it: A lot of his town reads aren't really explained (TT) and just feels rushed in a way. He is kinda avoids a read on 3 people (talks about FF, but doesn't actually really gives a read, more so on the threads interaction on FF) (HTS statement was pretty none positional) (and I have really no clue what he means on mine lol) He also doesn't seem to go after anyone other than GB. And focuses on GB on his next post. On April 22 2016 05:53 Shapelog wrote: Agreed with SL. He doesn't seem really here much, and that last post from him wasn't great either.

It's not a bad argument but I want to see a more robust argument before I lynch someone. One of the "underwhelming" players is surely mafia. Like if in these reads someone is seeing something scummy about what Shape has actually posted that I am simply not, let's discuss that. | ||

If you look at page 2 of his filter he doesn't have a clear direction which makes me question whether he's a low activity mafia. Now I see he's trying to figure the game out but at the time I wasn't clear. On the other hand, you also have Shapelog who hasn't posted hardly dick all this cycle either. | ||

Gumshoe is basically for the hammer and for the martyring which looks bad imo. I'd expect him to fight his lynch with all his might if he was town. But he isn't. Still, I don't really know if he is scum. I'm really uncomfortable. I still don't trust Koshi. But his explanation to me wasn't that bad. Still, I'd rather prefer his lunch than gunshoe's. I voted more to catch reactions, especially if he was Mafia - I was expecting that Mafia would jump on me for voting gumshoe out of the blue, but it didn't happen. It makes me very uneasy. HTS posts looks convoluted to me. That assumption that there is certainly a Mafia between the underwhelming is very... Suspicious. Especially if DYH is in fact town. Plus, I remember she kinda defended SL when I first called him out? I'm not sure, but it felt she was trying to soft defend him. I'm uncomfortable with DYH. His play in here looks very familiar to the last one where he was Mafia with Artanis. So yes. This is where I'm at. This post is poor and I'll explain why. First paragraph first few sentences are obvious, everyone is concluding the same regarding his votes. However giving up versus not giving up is NAI, martyring is GENERALLY done more by town but that is a weak point in comparison to the rest of his gameplay. The points on me are ignoring the rest of the way in which I'm evaluating people (never mind the fact now I've explained why my posts are deliberately long-winded) (1) VCA (2) associative reads with sicklucker (as in interactions) (3) general thread activity and post to content ratio (4) consistency of scumreads/read progression When subtracting the postgame, we have 25 pages from this game and we're nearing the end of day 2. That is actually pretty horrible even in a post-restricted game - and ergo, it is VERY reasonable to conclude that is possible, even LIKELY that one mafia could be hiding in the thread. The reason I singled you and DYH out was that both of you had the least amount of content, the least going forward, were solo voters, and at the time I made that conclusion your probing was all over the place. (referring to the posts that discussed Koshi/gumshoe/LS but at that time you didn't present any further ideas on them.) So no, my presenting the idea that a mafia (especially when a number of the low-volume posters were ALSO solo voters) has a lower presence somewhere in this game is just the OPPOSITE of scummy. Also the point about defending SL (soft or hard) is completely false. If there was a specific post you wanted to point out, bring it up, I know I queried him, but I always had the door open to lynching him. I also had a concern in post 517 that I'll bring up now again - and I think gumshoe even listed it in his case. Of course I got no feedback on it though.

The main thing that troubles me about you tbh is you have said a lot about Shape and Koshi (and exclusively Shape most of the game), but little on some of the others save that one list post. If you are town and you are wrong on either one of them, you are effectively giving Tictock, GB, even LS (from your latest perspective) a free pass. If you are mafia, you are doing a good job of just staying out of suspicion and keeping attention off the right people. | ||

There have been competing points on this.

I think Shape is not his townie self (and it has nothing to do with spamming and post restrictions), and I think it could indicate him being mafia in this game and just not being able to give a fuck.

But my guts say that you can be like this as town, and for shape it is less likely. That's why my vote was on him. All that being said. I have not the will to push anything in this game. I am now officially observing while being ingame. To be fair, no one plays a "perfect" town game, but in the following post, Koshi seems to be making a meta (???) based argument. On this game alone, I feel the voting should give him a pass. On April 25 2016 05:51 Fidei86 wrote: Do we think Shape's voting exhonerates him? If he were scum, if he'd managed to be on a wagon on scum that then got overtaken by a town wagon, I don't see why you'd then flip onto a town wagon at the last moment. That's just way too much weird play to make sense from a scum perspective. Unfortunately, that also means that DYH's play makes a lot more sense. So I'm at Town: LS, Shape, TW Confused about their voting right now: Koshi, gumshoe No particular reason to lynch: DYH Not scum as not pushing me???: HTS, TT ??? GB | ||

I'm stuck. I'm genuinely stuck between gumshoe/Koshi/GB. There's almost certainly one mafia between them, not certainly just their interactions, but I have reasons to scumread all of them. But I can't place them on the same team as each other. gumshoe looks bad from the voting, the association between him and SL, the End of Day. But yet the points made on GB resonated with me though particularly the association on SL which I brought up way before. God I don't know. Koshi looks bad from the voting, why day 1 he was focusing on one player and not another - re-read his filter, he brought up some of the lurkers but not Fidei/SL/Shape, day 2 he votes them. But re-reading day 2 I have more concrete reasons for how he's weighing one player against another (post 562 for instance), I know he prioritised Shape over GB but switched to GB . I was able to trace his reasoning (at least better than Damdred's lol) better as to why he was scumreading me. I thought he was bringing up DYH's name out of nowhere but then I saw his reasoning in page 2 of his filter as to why he was suspicious of DYH. GB - solo wagon day 1, the case on him was good, the SL read dropped completely day 1. And I'm not digging his approach day 2. The points on myself were either false, baseless, or at best he's not reading the thread. | ||

I've said before, it makes no sense to me for Koshi and Gumshoe to both come into the thread as the two leading wagons, and then both agree that the other is town and go after someone else. Unless they are both mafia? Am I crazy for this? If this cycle's play is anything like day 1, it's possible we could have two town wagons, they decide town on town and then try and sort it out. Shape and DYH are both scaring me. Tictock said he'd be afk....most of his posts cycle 2 have been anti-Tumbleweed/anti-gumshoe, but it's not productive I think at this juncture to touch/reconsider Tictock UNLESS gumshoe flips green. | ||

If you read the last three pages, there are countering reasons for lynching Koshi and GB. I think your input on either of them if not both would be much more useful. | ||

Switched my vote to GB. Yes I'm hammering him at present. If I'm wrong, I am going to hate myself. And James, re: #674 - that was because he was uncertain on LS. I did query him on that, though I can see DYH do that as either alignment. | ||

Going to power through DYH's scum game in NSM20 so I can deal with my phobia. At present I get the feeling he's playing too close to his chest (scum tell) but at the same time I also know he's a slow reader as town. The thread has been slow however, a lot of people just really haven't been playing. Working against him is the solo vote Day 1, his deferred read on SL (associative), the fact that SL had ZERO interaction with him. (also associative). | ||

I'm absolutely stuck here, and I will admit it. I have reasons to scumread them both, VCA, association, they are both pushing Koshi and I have reasons to more strongly townread Koshi now both reading his filter and seeing his approach to this end of day. I'm staying on GB, and praying the rest of town make the right decision. DYH did push whom I think to be a townie in Shape though he reconsidered that one, and Koshi does have selective reasoning but I'm a bit more clear on why. | ||

My thoughts: (1) So we had two solo voters. DYH pushing Koshi and not gumshoe....lord. DYH defending GB....and then he relinquished control of the thread either him or GB could have gotten lynched. (2) Shapelog is looking better, DYH seemed somewhat open to him as mafia? Probably keeping options open on him? (3) DYH defended Fidei but I don't think that means anything. (4) The question is whether DYH and GB would push Koshi together now. They needed a mislynch pretty badly here. Gotta simmer on this one, but we are almost home. I'm at a pool of gumshoe and GB with an outside shot of Fidei. From voting ALONE, Tictock's vote could be a bus, after it was clear DYH was getting lynched. | ||

(I have been typing for the last hour, bear with me) FYI I'm going to do and show a bit of deep digging - highly doubt I'm getting NKed, but I have 5 posts to spare putting a few things together so whatever. I'm going to layer a combination of things - associative reads and then the timing of the votes relative to what happened, since there's a few people saying to disregard VCA for Day 2. My Town Reads DYH's reads and abdication of the thread as follows: Day 1 - strong push and vote on Shapelog, ignored SL, no read on GB or TT Day 2 - strong push and vote on Koshi, admitted ignorance on Tictock, no position on LS, defence of GB (see below the line break) On that alone, I would vindicate Shapelog (along for the reasons for his voting Day 1 on sicklucker), I have other filter-based reasons to townread Koshi, but DYH's push on Koshi effectively vindicates him. Other independent reasons to townread LS include end of day 2 and the manner in which he pushed me day 1 (as he really believed what he was doing) and then after that re-evaluated me. It was organic. Tumbleweed is uncounterclaimed vig. gumshoe had a few things going against him - votes end of day 1, the self-meta (or martyring as some called it), but posts 586 (the case on GB) was pretty solid along with the point on the manner in which GB dropped his read on SL and then surmised how mafia was one of Koshi/gumshoe/LS. There was little association between SL/DYH/gumshoe, but both DYH and my strongest scum read at present - GB - were pushing Koshi. Two players (Koshi and LS) I am sure are town, and gumshoe at present I'm nearly positive is town. Fidei Fidei was dicey at the day 1, but he's probably town. He AFKed (NAI) D1, but voted early enough on DYH that him doing it as RB or vanilla it would be suboptimal. I think he's pieceing the game together in a way that indicates he's town, there was patterns of this day 1/night 1 when he reconsidered me in post 506 as he was catching up. There's nothing further he can really do to engage DYH when the latter had been so AFK other than poke him, which he did. As mafia he doesn't do jack all and wouldn't be arsed to play this game with what he has outside the game (this is OGI on my part, take it as you will) and he's confirmation biasing me out of fear which is NAI and also the fact I've been wrong on every decision. (disclaimer - next part is meta) Also NAI as he has not played with me in some of my worst town games (ie I singlehandedly threw Gaiden for instance, my Carol town game was a disaster only was saved because I was blue, Titanic 7 I pushed townies left right and centre because I didn't know people's metas) or games where I wound up on the wrong side of the lynch despite being town. However, and this is a BIG however, it's also completely untrue that I didn't have read development on GB, somewhere he forgot to read posts 517, 528, ESPECIALLY 618 (!!!!!!!), 649. Was it disjointed? Yes, and from my filter you should be able to tell that I was focusing on a LOT of people, and a holistic approach to this game. But it sure as hell existed. His reads on other people and the manner in which he gravitated to DYH indicates he's probably town. If you read page 3 of his filter carefully you should be able to put together that his lynch preference was DYH > GB > GS/Koshi. That should have been obvious from 687/690. So I think he's town with the exception of day 1 voting and what I stated in bold, but I think these points pale in comparison which what else I've read through his filter combined with what I do know about him and his game in general. That leaves me with GB and Tictock. And between these two folks, it's GB as the final mafia. And of these two I'd lynch GB. I mean, I'll doublecheck a few things re: Tictock, but the evidence against GB is quite frankly, overwhelming. The only thing that comes into question is whether he and DYH would push Koshi together but that is WIFOM come to think of it. However, when I look at the full picture of GB's play, I'm >95% sure that he's the final mafia - I'm looking at both Fidei and LS's reasons for townreading him, and quite frankly both's reasons are REALLY bad, not mafia-driven bad, just suboptimal bad. GB being mislynched a shittonne does not give any indication for his play now. He fakeclaimed in Firefly yes, but I don't believe he did jack all in Outlaw. Fakeclaims are done for specific reasons when they aim for the objectives needed (to draw a blue, to divert a lynch, etc) and someone fakeclaiming or not does not and should not ever vindicate them. There's a ridiculous amount in GB's filter that indicates several problems including (1) lack of followup day 1 reads, (2) lack of engagement (or delayed engagement) with Koshi, he throws the names he does night 1 and I engage him first on Koshi when I discuss my phobias but he doesn't touch him until Koshi calls him on on this day 2. (3) the dropped read on SL day 1. (4) softpushing from sicklucker day 1 ("I'd lynch GB a little from his posts....and then selective reasoning on me when I was going to get lynched) (5) his post highlighting why I was mafia was terrible in that it completely ignored arguments that were already made (a) saying my posts are convoluted does not make me mafia when I explain them a bazillion times, furthermore that is parroting from Koshi one day later Damdred was confirmation biasing HARD but at least I could tell he was town based on interactions with other townies. (b) Second it was VERY reasonable and not suspicious to surmise that a low-activity player was mafia, GB basically framed something that was townie (or at worst null) and framed it as mafia agenda. That behaviour itself is mafia driven. Read post 583 again if you don't understand. (6) Softpushing from GB on DYH (see post 583) - he says DYH makes him uncomfortable, but what does he do about it? Nothing. He doesn't even engage him or change that read when he and DYH both vote Koshi. In post 628 you will see (7) GB's push on Koshi makes no sense (through post 623). Koshi clearly explained why Shape was underwhelming compared to GB and that was based on the metas he had for both players. He def focused on some people more than others and he did use the argument too scummy to be scum, which was wrong on sicklucker...and he did the same for gumshoe. But it's a read that whilst bad is not exclusively mafia. I think LS is also wrong on SL pushing GB (his post 757), yes he brought up GB, but he did nothing about it and GB did nothing about SL. I think LS mis-analysed the interactions between the two players - they weren't bussing each other, they were softpushing each other. And that is very mafia indicative. That is where my associative reads (and gumshoe's I think to an extent) are coming from. So yes GlowingBear is the final scum, and that's my answer. | ||

I don't think Fidei is scum, but it's clearer to me where he's coming from. On the other hand it's also possible that the entire wagon on DYH could very well be town, with DYH out of the thread, he's effectively relinquished control and no one else was voting Koshi. We very well could have had a scumteam that really was low-activity and not so influential in the thread. | ||

If town were scumreading each other, any mafia present is going to let things go, it's quite possible, hell, just look at the votes, look at the tunnels some of the townies (my townreads now) had on each other. LS and I tunneled each other for a cycle and a half. Damdred and Koshi were/are wrong on me....Damdred in particular proved himself three times he cannot or did not read the thread, for a player of his calibre, the way he dealt with me was utterly diabolical this game when others saw the opposite for different reasons. He could have easily gotten me mislynched with the influence he and Koshi had on the thread. FF also misread me based on tone, not taking into account why I was posting differently. Why interfere with that (aside from SL also pushing it) and especially when there was scant time (at least with DYH, knowing what I know of his gameplay) for scum to push anything else. Where's the motivation to push the lynch off a townie when town are already shooting themselves in the foot one way or another? Tictock was spot on with the point that sicklucker did just enough to get the lynch off him and basically did jack all after that. That all said, voting Day 1 aside, there's no way you shouldn't be getting lynched tomorrow, as said before the evidence otherwise is quite overwhelming. | ||

EBWOP - I'm also getting the impressions from these nightkills that with the AFKs and how all over the place these scumreads have been, mafia are just gunning for the town leaders here and trying to thrive on town misreading and tunneling each other. The little influence that sicklucker and DYH had prior to their elimination lends credence to this. Which is why GlowingBear is up there and really should be the lynch, I really got the impression in how he engaged Koshi all cycle and then voted him at the end made it look like he was trying to see what took off. He clearly did not have the influence in the thread so he would have to rely on town misreading. And Koshi, what posts are you townreading him for? There's a shittonne more that demonstrates why he's scum. If you don't trust me, then read what gumshoe wrote, somewhere in your filter you were lost on why he was scumreading him.

Fakeclaims are done for specific reasons when they aim for the objectives needed (to draw a blue, to divert a lynch, etc) and someone fakeclaiming or not does not and should not ever vindicate them. There's a ridiculous amount in GB's filter that indicates several problems including (1) lack of followup day 1 reads, (2) lack of engagement (or delayed engagement) with Koshi, he throws the names he does night 1 and I engage him first on Koshi when I discuss my phobias but he doesn't touch him until Koshi calls him on on this day 2. (3) the dropped read on SL day 1. (4) softpushing from sicklucker day 1 ("I'd lynch GB a little from his posts....and then selective reasoning on me when I was going to get lynched) (5) his post highlighting why I was mafia was terrible in that it completely ignored arguments that were already made (a) saying my posts are convoluted does not make me mafia when I explain them a bazillion times, furthermore that is parroting from Koshi one day later Damdred was confirmation biasing HARD but at least I could tell he was town based on interactions with other townies. (b) Second it was VERY reasonable and not suspicious to surmise that a low-activity player was mafia, GB basically framed something that was townie (or at worst null) and framed it as mafia agenda. That behaviour itself is mafia driven. Read post 583 again if you don't understand. (6) Softpushing from GB on DYH (see post 583) - he says DYH makes him uncomfortable, but what does he do about it? Nothing. He doesn't even engage him or change that read when he and DYH both vote Koshi. In post 628 you will see (7) GB's push on Koshi makes no sense (through post 623). Koshi clearly explained why Shape was underwhelming compared to GB and that was based on the metas he had for both players. He def focused on some people more than others and he did use the argument too scummy to be scum, which was wrong on sicklucker...and he did the same for gumshoe. But it's a read that whilst bad is not exclusively mafia. Alright, GB, let me go through point by point here. I want to see your responses, if any. (1) I had issues with these, and when I tried to engage you on Koshi you didn't engage. You brought these names up without any followthrough and the way you wrote it, it looked like you were trying to see whether they would stick. Relevant quotes here.

I kinda feel if that was the case though, that they would pick someone more like Gum to push, especially since Gum A) was easier to ML (guy basically voted for himself lol) and B) because anyone could have change his reads tbh to get him lynched. And the Gum was already in bad stands according to DYH. It also doesn't seem really realistic for them in the case to do that, as KOshi wasn't on top of enough peoples lynch list. There is also another one, in which someone said something about GB (maybe it was Gum) carrying the team, which is kinda meh considering the fact of the AFK time. Actually, it is kinda weird that he was sus. of Gum enough to say that he needed to get lynched, yet he didn't push. Hmm, I get to it in the DYH part of this post. The only real throw away vote tbh (I guess you could argue that GB is a bit throwy, yet it isn't solo) is from suppose vig (which btw, I trust his claim since him breadcrumbing and quick claim after sus. makes sense after dieing last game due to not claiming. I.E. Makes sense for him to be breadcrumbing and what not) So nothing there. Things I saw in DYH filter I've read his Filter, and this is some things I see.
There is actually a lot more pointing to GB than anyone else actually. Like I knew a lot pointed to him, but damm. The HTS vote from SL D1 over GB also seems a bit weird to me as well. I am going to reread some more filters. Primarily Gum and TT and maybe Fidei86. Koshi I feel strongly town btw. Yeah the bolded, I made the comment you bolded but not the latter part about GB carrying the team. But in his filter it doesn't make sense. Reading his filter, he was on Koshi all cycle. But town were consolidating on DYH, and yet he was voting Koshi with DYH even after he said he was uncomfortable with DYH's play. GB also being off the wagon would also fit with him just having zero influence, or clearly not enough influence to get Koshi lynched, I know I definitely came around to the point on day 2 I wasn't going to lynch him. Like I feel with everything else pointing to him, I cannot ignore that possibility. (GB if you want to comment here too, go for it, if I missed something you said about this, quote it.) | ||

Well hold on here. I'm reading 855/856/859. I don't understand part of your push on GB now. On April 27 2016 04:12 gumshoe wrote: but yeah gb let me clarify, if you had posted 3 or however more many hours after the lynch, then there would be no point here for me. But the fact that you showed up just in time to be useless and mock town(just like dyh did) opens up the possibility that you had been there a little while before, watching as town doomed themselves. given everything else I know about you (dyh asociation, the tic exchange, your push on koshi, your shitty night 2, your abandoning of your sl read, your omega town read of dyh) theres just seems to be a lot more suggesting this vote lurker possibility rather then the snarky happen stance you would have us believe / : Am I derping or missing something here? Why are you making the assumption that GB would play scum exactly the same way that DYH would? DYH did the opposite - he said he was playing League or whatever and then he lurked but the whole 20m re: Damdred.... ....there's a lot of other issues with GB but....that one isn't definitive. I also don't like the self-meta in #844. And: On April 27 2016 03:27 gumshoe wrote: the bolded is what we cant know. With you bieng in thread within 20 min, we have to assume you very well could have been in thread longer, excuses dont work here as they are just want to be lies / : also the day 2 post is an explantion for the day 1 post XD from an earlier conversation we had. Of course I can use it. I see GB explained why he dropped LS as a scumread, but why this assumption? I remember Damdred accusing GB of doing dick all as a solo voter, so I know GB isn't lying about that. This is nothing of the likes that DYH did. You knew he lurked because he posted after his lynch. Here it's just the opposite situation and GB's previous post was at 19xx or approx. 4 hours before. | ||

I can place him in thread at the time of the wagon on sl bieng active, yet he continues to vote ls. a minute before hand he shows up saying the lynch is bad just like dyh did, he claims he was gone for the lynch, but he was there half an hour before, and a minute before. Leaving him going out as a 30 min period that did not exist prior to his excuse. Therefore we have fair reason to bilieve he was here, and he had a chance to make good on his sheep and even fight the ff lynch (who he was convinced was town) but did not. Thats all im saying / : his counter is why would he gloat 1 min before, my answer is we dont have to find a reason (though can surely be created) because dyh did it, therefore there is a reason for it regardless of wether we know it. wheres the problem? The bolded is confusing me. I've read the filter and end of day 1. I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you because the way you have your timestamps also indicates a larger difference - where is this "half hour thing coming from?" I know he was there a minute before. GB's gloating post is 3.5h before. I'm looking at post #635 and GB's filter, GB's filter has him gone for 3.5 hours. Or did you mean he was around the time the wagon on SL was there? Is this the post you mean? On April 22 2016 06:37 Damdred wrote: I just told you why we should lynch SL.

And your previous post, when I say self-meta I mean "I would do X as town/scum" etc. I also didn't like the point (post 866) where you mentioned GB throwing his arms and giving up is mafia, not necessarily. Giving up is NAI. As the point pertains to GB, he has also given up as town when he got mislynched in NSM 18. And he did it in bloody mylo and town lost because of it. It looks suspicious to me between this and the previous assumption it's like you are taking something and stretching it to sound scum indicative. And the fact that GB is voting the person he feels where the votes are literally everywhere else on gumshoe means he's not playing for survival, at least not at the moment.

It doesn't mean, however, that it was a strong case that I would use as grounds to any lynch. Then I had to be and entire day AFK, and when I came back, I tried to do a big catch up post. In that catch up post I found informational stuff that led me to believe gumshoe and LS were Mafia (and to be fair, I don't even remember what it was). I saw nothing else from SL because I could read only until page 6/7 at that time. Then I only came back two minutes before deadline to see a lynch that, by VCA, looked like it was going to hit town. I didn't have time to do anything. I simply forgot about SL. Just like that. Because I thought I saw way more important things to pursue. And as I saw a clear fownie in Damdred, I tried to chat with him so we could work together. Now, sometimes I reevaluate stuff but I don't state it in thread. LS was one of that reevaluartion. I scum read him almost every game, and Damdred correctly reads him almost every game. So I took Damdred's word for granted. I know I have my limitations as a player, and working together is really important to me when I have a strong town read I trust I want people who are familiar with GB's meta to comment on this response to me. I have my thoughts on it, I know Koshi has said that GB is capable of shitty play (or however he worded it), but I want other opinions. I need to AFK again. | ||

Reading....and reading....and reading. Work is pure insanity but I'm trying my best. ##unvote For these reasons: The gumshoe/GlowingBear duel alone and the manner in which he pushed back gave me serious pause. Also his responses to me make a little more sense in terms of why he's playing the way he is if he is town. I also looked at the rest of his reads. There was a part of me that when I looked at gumshoe's role in the duel I was grappling between mafia trying to bury town, or someone who was just 1000% confirmation biased. I'm honestly seeing bits of both though in his filter. I'll re-read that exchange again to make sure I'm not missing anything, but it was difficult for me because those two had so many question marks Days 1 and 2. I haven't gotten to Koshi/Tictock cases in depth (reading Fidei's filter in context of the thread) quite yet on Fidei, but if Fidei is mafia, that would mean I'd have to accept that to an extent, he's broken meta. But both Koshi and Tictock have made some excellent points and when I skim Fidei's filter, the fact he has Tictock, me and GB in the lynch pool - makes me even more worried after having looked at the exchange between GB and gumshoe. I know I'm town, I'm pretty sure Tictock is town, and I'm starting to think GB is town. And the use of votes for Day 2 is debunked - Tictock made a case on that and I verified it with the way the votes came in Day 2. Furthermore, Fidei does fall off hard as mafia as the game goes on. Him deferring reads on us or not even pushing his most likely scumread is all the more reason I should revisit that. Also Fidei saying that I'm wrong on everyone without looking into why I've been wrong or making a case on that looks very much at face value he might be trying to hold out and see what is taking off with town having been disorganised all game. GB, you said the votes were the only reason that you were townreading Fidei, but you said nothing memorable was from him. I think based on that you should probably double check that. | ||

Well after last night I have reason to think GB is not mafia here, so I'm at the point where I'm looking through gumshoe and Fidei, hopefully I can finish that up either my next breather at work or after my barre class when I get off work. I thought Fidei might be town at first but after Tictock's case debunked the order of the votes and Koshi's case stressed the manner in how DYH was voted, along with other factors, he absolutely deserves the scrutiny. And then skimming Fidei's filter again, the only thing Fidei stresses is the order of the votes and that's about the only thing he does to come up with his lynch pool. First gumshoe v GB one more time though. | ||

So that entire push on GB was based on a mistake after re-reading. Post #842 lends support to how gumshoe might be town, and ergo, the gumshoe v GB clash being town on town. gumshoe is using his meta knowledge/expectations of GB (which is subjective obviously, I don't know whether to trust that since I haven't played with him enough) to further continue scumreading him (post 844/849/860), so I can't really say anything with confidence there. But the duration of the fight plus that post indicates gumshoe is possibly town in that. The final sentence in post 860 could come from either alignment, mafia wanting to bury or someone too deep into the tunnel. Not sure why gumshoe is townreading Fidei though, but only one of them can be scum at this point (duh). Also re: post 866, I stand corrected there gumshoe, that point was in reference to him giving up on your alignment. I misread there. Alright, onwards to Fidei then. | ||

Also HTS you were here during the votes. This is ludicrous. You know me. You think as the last scum I bussed my last buddy to go solo? And that I did it when it was absolutely not necessary? Or that my call for 'consolidating' was actually a call to move off DYH? Yeah, if I'm alive at the end you absolutely have to look again at everyone. But voting me now over people who didn't vote scum last round on a last minute shenanigan? Come on. "Not necessary" is not the point. That is actually WIFOM. DYH bailed from the thread for goodness knows what reason. The mafia motivation to bus and go solo is exactly for town cred. Surely you remember that from Dark Tournament. You saw what happened with disformation who was scumformation trying to get credit but Shining tapped him on that one. Also like I said before votes are just one data point in the whole thing and second, the thing that bothered me about you is that you aren't looking into why we did what we did. You're solely focusing on the order of the votes and Tictock provided a very good explanation (which I verified) as to why that doesn't mean jack all. And in trying to get me lynched you're focusing on that we (Tictock and I) were wrong, and not why. Koshi called you on it (the flipped mafia being afk), but I'll reiterate - we've waited for two nights now for you to get reads out on the people in your lynch pool and adding to the concern is reasoning for thinking everyone in that lynch pool of yours is town. I'm not just looking at the votes James, I'm looking at everything as a whole. Which you seem to be quite conveniently ignoring >_< | ||

And I'd rather spend my time going through other filters than trying to reason out in my head why scum Dani votes EOD as she did. Regarding the lack of follow-through, you'd have to pull up example if you felt so inclined, I know there was one or two questions I deliberately didn't follow up because I read when I returned to the thread, and saw my questions had been answered and didn't need to pursue them.

Alright, I'm back. Skimmed and unvoting Fidei. Re: the setup speculation I'll say this much - 2 prots in m13 is too town favoured and there's unlikely another blue because a JK is really an inv and prot. (The vig is inv). So vig/JK v GF/vanilla/RB (presumably) is balanced imo. I'm reading into his case on Tictock now though. I know D1 I remember the Tumble push by Tictock being flimsy but I am trying to follow what he means by the exact voting sequence. | ||

Lynching her feels like an unnecessary mErasure when we still have as many mislynches as we do and far more suspicious targets (myself included in that bunch) I don't know how gb came to be town read so hard by so many, but dyh was insistent on clearing him and fedie, with fedie effectively confirmed as of right now, are we to assume that dyh extended himself to protect 2 townies? It could have been a way of buddying/disassociation. I think people on this site are inclined to not look as hard at people who are townreading them, but that's just my opinion. Personally I'm more inclined to scumread someone either softpushing someone or not following through on a read, as opposed to townreading or scumreading them. Like look at the non-reads/deferral of read he had on sicklucker. That's what I'm talking about. Sometimes scum do hard defend someone to make it look like they are invested in the game, but I think the manner in which it's done isn't alignment indicative. | ||

Oh bloody hell, so you are definitely not an inv in that sense. So you are straight up prot then. 2 invs does happen but it's extremely rare, because vig/dt can confirm the entire scumteam in 2 nights, and that is considered by most hosts here unbalanced. And the way DT is listed in the role list I am assuming straight alignment and not a parity one. Parity takes two to confirm. Parity/vig/medic (more or less) is balanced, but disclaimer here, Artanis has done all sorts of shit with his setups so I don't really want to waste more time than I already have here. I think if DT is straight alignment there's only two. I know BH says that DT in m13 is too town favoured, but w/e. Moving on. | ||

Tictock, Fidei is rubbish at setup speculation, that I know from his gameplay in NSM18, so him not factoring in claim wars/claim analysis well here is not alignment indicative. He's not the lynch regardless. Did you have thoughts on GB? | ||

This is a fair point and explains your paranoia on me fine....but surely you must have realised that DYH played as town with you in Dark Tournament and he coached you in NSM18 when you were scum. It's not as robust a familiarity as I would have had, but it's enough to sense you were playing low-profile, intentionally or not. I've hosted enough games now that I've seen in mafia QTs how scum try and ferret out blues, they usually go for someone who they see playing low-profile in general. Just saying. With respect to the lynch I think it needs to be Tictock/Shape. I have reasoning to feel that both gumshoe and GlowingBear, however haphazard/crazy/suboptimal/whatever word you want to use their town game has been, I think are both town. | ||

Yeah, Shape isn't as townie as say Koshi, and Tictock (from a pure filter standpoint) but I'm taking into account the scum pushes from DYH and EoD1. But going back through filters, he's not as scummy as say GB. Tictock's read on Fidei was anything but disjointed. I have tinfoily feels on Tictock but I can't justify voting him before GB or Shape. | ||

I'm re-reading filters and hitting the database at this point, and fuck it I'm just going to say it now, the final mafia actually most likely is Tictock. I have to take off for the evening, but I'm going to highlight some key parallels between his scumgames and this game (exclusive of Fidei's case). A bit on Shape... I'm reading Shapelog's filter and besides the votes on him from earlier scum, I'm also seeing posts like post 826 and 886 indicate townie thinking and him trying to solve the game. Because of his AFKness, he hasn't been able to be as participatory, nor a so-called shining beacon of townieness, but when he has been around, I can definitely tell he is trying to work things out. Why Tictock is the final mafia Posting for the sake of posting 950 Aside from the case I see Fidei has written on Tictock, plus the Tictock/TW case, I reviewed Tictock's response to it (post 950). Not only is Shapelog's questioning of the post warranted, but the part where Tictock said that his read on FF is overstating things it still doesn't take away from the fact that he effectively saved a scum read over someone he considered town, and having decent reads based on a PoE list doesn't make sense to even post, nor does it make Tictock (or anyone really) more town. 157-159 Post 157 - now that I am taking a much closer look at his posts - makes me beg the question as to why he's even posting what he is. First part - if he's not asking Fecalfeast for his reads, what is he doing? Second part about FF is largely posting just to post, I know Koshi called my read on Fecalfeast overexplanation (mind you, I backed it up with meta), but tell me that post wasn't either (or rather, a very rambly way of saying Fecalfeast is null) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/507600-cap-tortoise-mafia?page=8#157 Even Fidei makes a statement (post 159) about his 'lame agreement' without a solid stance. Scum Meta I'm just as guilty for not looking as closely to certain things as others may have this past cycle, but comparing the cases he's made here to how he was able to case the scummy townies in Guardians Chapter 1 (won as GF Day 5, the easy examples I remember from that game were Chocolate and Templar) and doing the same thing in Nutcracker (he cased GigyaS and I think ritoky? before he was eventually caught by the tracker in mylo) people should not be giving him a complete pass for the cases he wrote on Fidei - the one that was written on Tumble this game is an example of a more poorly written case that has been called out a few times. Take a look at Tictock's scum game and some of the cases he's written against scummy townies. See any parallels? (Fidei/Shapelog/others who might have also been in these games, please comment) Holy Guardians Chapter 1 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?user=Tictock (full filter) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=20#388 (example of a post where his reads will contradict each other so that he's not saying a whole lot, namely the points against Kickstart and Chocolate) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=30#582 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=30#600 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=32#638 (final is response to ritoky calling him out, look familiar? it should, responses from Damdred/Fidei come to mind) These are some examples of so-called contrived reads, or similar to what he put out on Tumbleweed this game. Also defensiveness as to when he is accused. Examples of cases he's made in that game below: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=49#964 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=51#1004 (Damdred's response - Tictock was trying to fit the scum narrative for Damdred in that game) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486008-holy-guardians-chapter-1?page=59#1168 (case on GGTemplar) There are several more cases, but in that case he piggybacked off a dead townie's case for another easy mislynch. Now check out the post in this game on LS about the earth being flat - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/507600-cap-tortoise-mafia?page=15#285 and constantly saying that LS is posting little content. LS posted content he disagreed with or whatever, and it was a different opinion on moving the game forward but calling Koshi's read on LS bullshit is also contrived because he ALSO MADE THAT POST at the time Koshi retracted his read on LS and voted him. So Tictock at the very least ignored that change in read. Also check out this post where he voted gumshoe http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/507600-cap-tortoise-mafia?page=25#490 Someone please tell me why what gumshoe said is exclusive to mafia? This is also trying to fit into a scum narrative, which is mafia indicative esp for Tictock. Nutcracker http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/499399-tl-mafia-lxxiii-the-nutcracker?user=Tictock (overall filter) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/499399-tl-mafia-lxxiii-the-nutcracker?page=25#496 (another example of a case he makes on someone to frame them as mafia, this also touches a bit on how defensive Tictock is when facing accusations. Compared that to post 385 this game where he pushes back at Damdred with self-meta) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/499399-tl-mafia-lxxiii-the-nutcracker?page=25#499 Koshi calling him out on them in that game, similar concerns regarding Tictock's play in posts 112, 166, in this game. TLDR - a bullet point list of mafia parallels for Tictock (1) framing something NAI or not exclusive to mafia as exclusively mafia (2) defensiveness (3) taking a disagreement with another player as mafia indicative (4) contrived reads (5) several instances of questioned purposes of posting, or posting just to post. If nothing else, just take a look at those filters and then re-read Tictock's filter with these points in mind.......but I'm seriously annoyed at myself that I didn't realise this shit sooner. Good night. | ||

Koshi, when I read the Nutcracker game compared to the Guardians game, his game wasn't quite as "clean" as Guardians, but hopefully you will find some of the key points I'm trying to make. If you don't trust my case, then why doesn't what Fidei is saying convince you? On April 29 2016 06:29 Koshi wrote: I agree that we didn't do this GB lynch very well. He was pretty townie when he was trying to lynch me. I am not sure gumshoe is town though. I don't think I want to lynch TT. I don't know why. I would lynch HTS or Shape first. Probably Shape. Also when I read through Nutcracker it was you who didn't want to lynch Tictock then for what he was posting. On December 16 2015 06:42 Koshi wrote: unvote: vote: GlowingBear Dnu. Don't want TT out. Content keeps flowing out. I'll keep him and GB is a liability. Some shitty modkills incoming as well? I hate modkills. Just cheapens the set-up/game/balance After you were scumming him a decent chunk of the game. I think you might be making the same mistake in this game tbh. A lesson learnt from NSM 18 that also honestly applies here - I also think you need to adjust your expectations here of mafia for how poorly town are playing. How many scummy townies have we lynched or have been pushed all game? It's easy for ANY mafia - not just Tictock - to make cases on scummy town. | ||

Koshi, I'm pretty sure. There is also adequate cause to townread everyone else, however much we might disagree on some of the players left. Between meta parallels, the Day 1 stuff, associative reads, and the latest push, that's a load of scum points right there, but I also do not like how after the claim wars died down, he was still suggesting that Fidei would fakeclaim. That comment (post 1027) felt forced to me. To me his ability to construct these big cases is NAI - he clearly has done it as both alignments. What also suggests association, just DYH here not really wanting to touch on Tictock, I'd noticed he was clearly ignoring him - On April 25 2016 06:06 DoYouHas wrote: I have been giving TT a free pass unfortunately. He just hasn't drawn my attention much. LS confuses me at the moment, which is why I asked him those questions. He isn't comfortable with a gum lynch, he leans town on GB, he leans town on Koshi, he leans town on you. There is a lack of evolving reads around some of the most polarizing players in the game ATM. I just think you are wrong on GB, though I'm giving your and gum's points a harder look to see if I can justify my read against them. Which makes me think considering the way he drew Damdred's attention end of day 1 and a few others as well for day 1 play. Now, here's another example from this game of a contrived read from Tictock. It's okay to suggest that Shapelog would be a weak town read but NOT for this reason: On April 28 2016 05:59 Tictock wrote: I thought he looked pretty towny in that argument vs Gum. Idk I'm kinda tempted to Yolo vote Shape, main reason why he seems to be town in my mind is because both of the other scum voted for him but that's pretty weak. Then again GB giving up on his gum read and posting this doesn't inspire confidence in my TR on him I assume the why is because I've been pushing Fidei so hard who I guess has to be blue (I think everyone posted since his claim?) The DYH effort against him, along with the way Shapelog voted sicklucker day 1 are the "hardest" evidence that Shapelog is likely town. (In general, votes are a pretty hard form of evidence.) | ||

Shape, with those last two mafia games from Tictock, aside from what you presented, I'm seeing a few more parallels. In the Devil Inside, both Trfel and Kushmasta both called Tictock out for misrepresenting their posts/reads. In this game, we have that read on Tumblewood. In Devil, Kushmasta called Tictock out (post 1207 that game) for ignoring reads that he updated. You have the exact same situation here with when he called Koshi's reads bullshit - it was after Koshi re-evaluated his read on LS and he didn't at all take into consideration why Koshi changed his read on LS. | ||

Tictock, I know I didn't say it, but I read a few of your town games as well. In Haunted Mansion, for example, you were much more concise, a lot less tentative, and said your reads with conviction. They were a lot more pointed than they were in this game. That is one of the biggest reasons I actually brought up the posting just to post because you were quite the opposite there. And the reason I'm using meta is because I'm drawing parallels between your scum games and the stuff here. | ||

If people aren't willing to buy into my case or read into it, at least look back at the D1 play. Tictock generally emulates his town play well as mafia, so that's part of the reason I felt it necessary to highlight meta. Look at the reads between him and the flipped mafia, etc. And Koshi, if you have to mislynch me to realise it's Tictock, then so be it. I've actually been quite frustrated all game, most scumreads on me have been poor with the sheer amount of work I've been trying to do to sort this out all game. (Damdred, no idea what he was doing, Fidei was pure fear/confirmation bias, LS was pure OMGUS and even he got out of the tunnel) I said it early game and I'll say it again, mafia have been playing well, well enough to fool most of us. But back on topic, if you have to mislynch me, great but you really need to take him out in mylo. And everyone, there's no way Koshi is scum. If I had to sum it up in one sentence, the way he raged at Fidei for playing blue suboptimally? No way that would have come from scum. Exposure of the prot role is a scummer's dream, they cannot afford to lose a mislynch, and I could not see him fake that. Obviously other reasons too, but that's the quick and dirty way there. | ||

If the hardpushing is a criteria for you, then clearly you didn't read the exchange between myself and GB Day 2. Also this: On April 30 2016 06:24 Koshi wrote: I actually didn't rage at him for that. It was because he said we didn't want to lynch mafia. That hit a wrong spot because people actually are trying really hard this game. Xcept maybe TW. I know how hard you have been playing HTS. At this point I am lynching you because the amount of words you type are not convincing me or you enough to also push lynches. Both D1 and D3 lynch you were like "ok w.e this lynch then but my head is spinning and idgaf tbh" And then D2 you were the first vote after it was obvious DYH was going to get lynched. Today is different with the TT case... But I just don't know... I really don't think TT is mafia and if he is that is on me. But I don't see it. I wish I could but the guy literally typed what I want to type or what I am feeling. There are multiple instances. Around Fidei, around how he feels after lynches, before lynches etc etc. Really a lot of the time. Am I misunderstanding the bolded? If you're suggesting I bussed DYH, that's wrong, because I didn't even vote DYH. Tictock was the last on him by what you were saying.

D1 was a clusterfuck, I think everyone gets that, I get why people think I'm scummy for day 1, but I'd argue per Fidei's case on Tictock, he looks worse by comparison. Day 3 it's actually concise in my filter as to why I switched. Heck reading Shape's filter, you could conclude the very same thing. But of course the amount of reading I do won't show up in my filter it is what it is. Also if you are suggesting NK WIFOM to implicate me, re-read again, (1) Damdred had Tictock, Shape and someone else in his PoE by the End of Day 1. (2) LS got out of his tunnel and he had Tictock over GB, (3) and yeah Fidei might have mis-read me, but you can't even consider that one as he was prot - no mafia team should ever leave the prot alive irregardless of what he says. Ultimately it's not the scumread that frustrates me here, it's reasoning behind it, and a chunk of your reasoning against me doesn't even reflect some of the things that actually happened. | ||

On April 30 2016 08:49 Tictock wrote: I was gunna read filters tonight but some stuff has come up and idk if I'll get time. HtS the thing thats odd about you to me is that today you seem to be pushing me and not considering anyone else. You kinda brushed off my point about your meta read on me saying you looked at Haunted mansion, but tbh most of your points really come down to the same thing you were admonishing Fidei for, it's mostly just a fear read "He does a good job at looking townie as scum" and tbh I'm not sure any of your points are exclusive to my scum games. But putting that aside (and tbh it's kinda omgus anyways) I see stuff that still makes me think you can be town here, so I'd like to understand why you don't seem to be considering anyone else today. From my pov we have confirmed town Tumble, Koshi is is almost certainly town (or deserves the win if mafia), Shape who is probably town from DYH's D1 push and my shitty reasoning from earlier. Which leaves HtS and Gum. Gum did a lot of martyring D2 and then came back to start playing near EoD and picked it up enough to get everyone off him. D3 he tunneled GB hard, had that fight with him that looked pretty likely to be TvT and to some extent continued his martyering (he made several mentions of "you guys should lynch me or GB"). Today, nothing. HtS has honestly seemed town to me all game, putting in tons of effort and I've felt like a lot of her reads were being good and objective, not just pushing for a mislynch (that feeling has changed today though). I don't recall any solid pushes from her though, was pretty solidly on LS D1 but was all over the place EoD and her shift onto FF was shady given she had been semi-defending him earlier. I don't really recall off the top of my head where her head was at D3 but tbh I was kinda tunneled on Fidei so wasn't paying a ton of attn. Now today is fairly hard pushing me. HtS does make a good point that SL did push her a fair bit D1 when there was literally no reason for him to bus her. So I'm leaning towards Gum being the last mafia right now. I'm interested in checking his reactions to the DYH wagon D2, and I kinda want to reread the stuff between him and GB as that fight is kinda the main reason why I and I think a lot of people are TRing him right now. (this is more a mental note for me when I go to read his filter) It should be pretty obvious from reading all the filters - I've had my reasons to TR other people. To sum up things in one line - First I'm pushing you after reading and considering anyone else so you saying or suggesting that I'm not considering anyone else is basically inaccurate at best or framing me as scum at worst. As for gumshoe I'll comment that he looked shite from the votes alone but it was day 2/day 3 gameplay that had me think he was town. Second both you (and Koshi) obviously are ignoring the pushes I had on GB day 2. Third I'm not fear reading you, fear reads are just that, there are other substantiated points against you that I wasn't going to beat with a dead horse. There are people that are townreading you or not looking at you closely enough and again in one sentence - people shouldn't give you a pass for the cases you are writing without thinking it through. | ||

Given that she loves to throw out meta and has done so a lot this game it's interesting to note that this is the first time she does it for DYH as a wagon starts to form on him. While she seems to be struggeling to decide between GB and DYH she says she's staying on GB in #712 and then in the very next post (#718) The way her read on DYH developed from D1 to EoD2 seems very suspect, especially the final swap when literally one min before she had said she was staying on GB. While there was more stuff throught this cycle that seemed kinda townie or not as noteworthy to me I can't ignore how suspect HtS's EoD's were on both D1 and D2. D1 vote, I won't beat with a dead horse. Tictock's highlighting of this quote for day 2 is problematic because the ONLY thing I was saying here was that DYH is the lynch and not that DYH was mafia. It's almost hilarious how he's trying to extrapolate how I just conclude out of NOWHERE as EITHER alignment (if you think about it) that the mafia HAS to be DYH. The fact he's framing this as mafia indicative indicates he's scum going for the mislynch here. Second, the reason I was willing to draw more on meta with Fecalfeast is because I've played significantly more with him than with DYH (only one game, this being the second) and I can more rely on meta with someone like FF than with DYH. So that should answer the question there. So framing that as suspicious or suggesting that is also a problem. This reeks of how he took Tumble out of context day 1 - this should NOT go ignored if/when/should I flip. On April 30 2016 16:17 Tictock wrote: I really can't be bothered to finish those filters, it's 1am where I am now. I have a few misgivings still about Gum, but I also see some pretty decent reasons to townread him as well. His EoD's D1 and D2 don't look great, but honestly they dont really suggest much scum agenda either. He voted for SL in a way that gains no cred, and he voted DYH with what seemed like genuine regret to be giving up on his GB read. Neither of these moves were made to gain cred and help him survive and his pushing on GB and maytring while possible to come from scum seem more likely to be town, especially in the positions Gum has been in. Compared with HtS's filter and reads, it's almost night and day. HtS mentions DYH alot be refuses to make an effort to read him untill a wagon starts on him, THEN goes to find meta which suggests me could be scum. Her flip onto FF over SL looks pretty sus when she was townreading and defending FF for a good part of the day. She used meta to suddenly swap her read on FF to scum and swap off SL. Now again today she is using a largely Meta argument against me, and without really comparing her points to my town games. I could maybe be wrong about Shape, and I'll try to take a look at his filter tomorrow, but honestly having looked through all that I think it has to be HtS. ##Vote Half the Sky I explained Day 1 why I meta read FF more extensively. Also mentioning DYH a "lot" was me interacting with him and the pointed way in which he was reading some people and not others was what drew my attention to him. You framing it the way you are "mentioning DYH a lot but not reading him" is a mafia-indicative way of putting it because that WAS the very basis I used to further look into him when LS brought up his meta. The last argument about not considering your town games is completely untrue. Everyone - among other things like his Day 1 play and the associative reads on - I want you all to look closely at how Tictock is framing the arguments against me, this is exactly what he's done once already this game with Tumble and how it also compares to points in his other scum games. (In Haunted Mansion, his points were more direct, by constrast.) Even if you mislynch me today YOU DO NOT IGNORE THE WAY TICTOCK IS FRAMING ARGUMENTS IN MYLO END OF. | ||

I have a tonne of stuff plus a milestone birthday party to attend tonight so I will have very limited time. I'll do my best to rove on mobile and answer questions from here through End of Day. But if people are scared of me or cannot get over the D1 vote, you absolutely should go ahead and mislynch me and then lynch Tictock in mylo after you review how he made the arguments against me, it's not from a town standpoint in the least, and you should also take into consideration how he kept doubting Fidei's claim even without a counterclaim. | ||

Also to answer to Koshi's concern about sicklucker bussing me - sicklucker will bus in situations where it makes sense. He bussed me in Void but I was the underperforming/semi-inactive mafia in that game. It benefitted him and he (more or less) carried. Here it would not make sense for him to do that, especially when he was vanilla and the last remaining player is the likely RB. (In Void, he was rolecop, I was vanilla) Take that as you will, but I thought I'd also set the record straight there too. | ||

This is brutal on mobile but I'll highlight two more instances where Tictock is taking things out of context. On May 01 2016 00:29 Tictock wrote: You talk about how SL pushed you in #1053 as a defense for yourself. Sure SL made some posts that parroted what others like Damdred were saying about you, but it was hardly a push on you. Hell even the vote SL made on you was at a time when you were super unlikely to be lynched, and he hopped off just as fast as he hopped on. First you're ignoring what SL ultimately did, he hopped off to Koshi with a troll vote (smileyface at the end in the vote thread I recall), he was taking advantage of Damdred misreading me and of course you can't have a hard push when you try to take advantage of shennanies 7m before EoD. The thread sentiment was there to get me killed and you are completely mischaracterising it. Tumble was not talking about this post at all, what seems forced about it? I legit cannot fathom how you made a post where you referred to a post like this: [...] He had bad vibes about the way you were pushing me and he basically saw the same thing I did with your push on me. You def had a TR on FF for most of D1, it was when he voted you that you suddenly backed off that read (omgus) then when the votes d). But I think when you look at the EoD there you come off significantly more suspect HtS because your reads shift quite dramatically for little reason in a short time. And yet again you are ignoring why. You ignore the why, you ignore everything I had taken into consideration and in the eod2 you keep pushing that I pushed meta which was completely untrue, IT WAS LS that mentioned to look at his scum games but I was just more convinced on GB. | ||

I'm getting pulled away again and I won't be around for EoD. If you decide to ML me, that's fine. If I'm dead when I return whoever is left after the nightkill please evaluate the d1 play, the votes about d2, the association reads and specific the pushes Tictock has made on everyone and specifically the way he's framing his arguments. I think I've touched on enough to the point I'm beating a dead horse. Just don't let him win in mylo or the Koshi pocketing intimidate you, if you have to ML me to get to him, I'm alright with that. | ||

........................ I don't even. Fuck my life. The no votes are embarrassing tbh and I'm sorry Tictock, amongst other things I'm really upset with my own play. I'll return sometime this evening closer to the day post unless I can break away to re-read before then yet again. Also possibility of one of the no votes being mafia lurking knowing both wagons were town, in mylo-1 and a known first warning offence it's quite possible. | ||

If you are town, and are lynching me because you legitimately think I'm mafia, that's fine. You're wrong, and if you aren't reconsidering, you're tunnelled as all hell. If you are town, and are pulling the same rubbish you did in Haunted Mansion (with onegu) and are lynching me out of spite, then you are (almost) singularly throwing the game. It's mylo, there are 48h left, if it IS gumshoe or Shape, then you are just as much to blame for bailing this cycle as I am for my poor gameplay. Please. If you are (tinfoil) mafia, which I think to be unlikely, then do your thing. Onwards. | ||

Good morning. I already have 1-2 people commenting on my behalf in the postgame, as thankfully I won't be around to deal with (or most of Tuesday for that matter) after the game ends. But I'll respond to this whilst and since I can - On May 02 2016 10:48 Koshi wrote: HTS you are getting lynched because yesterday I said the lynch should be Shape or HTS and you kept going on about TT while there was a fucking 0% chance the guy was mafia. [...] If you are town HTS, the lynch on TT was the worst fucking play you ever did in your life. It is fucking ridiculous how fucking bad it was, the guy was never ever fucking scum. [...] But the TT lynch was so fucking bad and it was 100% HTS her fault. So now she is getting lynched for being that bad. But probably she is mafia so that is fine. I wasn't the only one who voted Tictock, I won't claim to read Tumble's mind, but I would suggest you ask why he voted Tictock or why Tictock's posts gave him bad vibes. Second, I wasn't the only one who scumread Tictock at other points in the game. My comments will address Fidei in the postgame for other reasons, but you should also ask him why he scumread Tictock as he did if this is how you feel. I not only pushed the meta, but bought into the prior arguments made against him, and rightfully so. On May 02 2016 10:48 Koshi wrote: I explained in detail why he wasn't mafia, and you decided to fucking ignore it even after the guy made a zillion big WoTs posts. And I explained multiple times over that his posting style was also present as mafia and this would not have been a factor in my decision. I read his town games but deliberately did not comment on them as I tried to make my posts a little more concise towards the end of this game. If you choose to ignore those arguments or ignore his posting style as mafia period, that part is just as much on you. On May 02 2016 10:48 Koshi wrote: HTS you are getting lynched because yesterday I said the lynch should be Shape or HTS and you kept going on about TT while there was a fucking 0% chance the guy was mafia. [...] So you are gettting lynched because you ignored me. [...] But if you are town you deserve to fucking get lynched as well. I'll call these statements for what they are, spiteful, and just as much as what you did in Haunted Mansion lategame. They address me as if I am town. Several players ignored you, and quite frankly each other, this game, town had this issue all game, I'm just as much to blame as anyone else. If you arguing that makes me mafia then you are lynching me for something that doesn't necessarily make me mafia. Just saying. On May 02 2016 10:48 Koshi wrote: If the mafia is between Shape and gumshoe it is really pathetic they didn't vote but w.e. Maybe it wasn't tactical. 2 votes a piece on two town wagons, no reason to rock the boat honestly as scum, but I'm sure this part will be explained in the postgame. On May 02 2016 10:48 Koshi wrote: Shape wasn't pressured at all this game but got townread by literally everybody for no good reason so w.e gumshoe is a jackass for not voting as mafia but deserved the win because he was 10 times better than HTS. HTS only deserves the win as mafia. Sadly we got to lynch her. kudos for your play as mafia, hard to do with those 2 teammates. Great posts during the D1 and D2. You were not lynched on effort alone, because your play was pretty scummy. Again I was townread by several this game, you should probably ask those people after this game ends, what they saw in me that you weren't able. Most players played pretty scummy to one degree or another this game, the number of town/town arguments this game is pretty indicative of that overall, and re-reading your day 1-2 it was pretty apparent we had two different styles of playing this game, and not ever saw eye to eye, that is fine, but you admitted prior/during to the DYH lynch you had trouble lynching mafia yourself so to criticise me for the same is pretty hypocritical on your part. I will flip town when the game ends, just understand you are just as much to blame for the loss for your attitude and play in mylo as much as myself. I'm fully aware I have played worse than usual but for you to play this way in mylo and then to turn around and then say this is quite astonishing. | ||

You aren't taking into account that SL only appeared in the last few minutes of the cycle, and readily took advantage of Damdred mis-reading me, but you're mafia, you can pretty much say whatever you please. To contrast that to how DYH pushed Koshi is pretty funny actually, just like sicklucker did with Damdred, all he really did was piggyback off the push that GB led on Koshi all cycle 2 as follows: On April 25 2016 04:56 DoYouHas wrote: I get the reasons why gum is a good lynch, I agree with them, but I would rather lynch Koshi. + Show Spoiler [GB's case] + On April 24 2016 06:10 GlowingBear wrote: Well, you can't really tell someone is town by his way of posting when you're playing a post-restricted game. You're basically said he looks town by game events and that makes him mafia (so, meta-read). But you've just posted this: So what is the real reason you're voting Shape? Is that because he looks underwhelming or because of that bad meta? Also, you said you're also voting Shape because people are pretty townie to you. So how am I "meh"? Why are you not willing to vote me? Isn't "meh" basically "underwhelming"? Which means there are more underwhelming people in the game by your own standards. So why going against Shapelog, who actually posted a lot Day1? By normal standards, I am kinda underwhelming this game based on my inactivity (and I'm inactive because I've been busy), DYH is also underwhelming. Why are you not talking about them? Why didn't you lynch SL who was pretty much underwhelming day1? Why did you pressured people asking them "why aren't you voting SL"? Also, are you sure you find people townie? : So if gumshoe is looking bad... how are you townreading everyone? Why aren't you pressuring/voting gumshoe WHO IS LOOKING BAD instead of simply voting Shapelog who has been UNDERWHELMING? See, Koshi, your thought process isn't clear.

That's why I think you're mafia. + Show Spoiler + On April 23 2016 07:28 DoYouHas wrote: Koshi - I want to say Koshi's active and aggressive style is town. But he jumped up and down on me for valid points against Shape. He jumped up and down on HtS for the null read of FF while ignoring things I thought pointed to her being town. I don't think we get into the EoD we had without at least 1 scum in the movers and shakers. (Koshi, HtS, Damd, and maybe TT) Koshi pushed the lynch of 2 town for sure and probably 3. He is attacking town, leading lynches on town and after being proven wrong on FF he still wants to off HtS instead of stepping back and reassessing. Thinking he could be scum. Koshi led the wagon off of SL, attacks town all of day 1, and is very inconsistent day 2. He is pushing a scum agenda. ##Vote: Koshi That's it. He said jack all on Koshi after that. Also the SL vote to Koshi was pretty irrelevant and after the 6th vote was on Fecalfeast, it is WIFOM at best. For you to dismiss in such a short time, that is scummy, it is pretty clear you are taking advantage of Koshi's not moving his vote, which is obviously why you brought him to mylo, easy 1-2 vote for you, good on you there.

I'm here. Picking up. I'll just call it as I see it. On May 03 2016 02:03 gumshoe wrote: Day 1: would I really so blatantly defended/ waffled on sl just as momentoum starts to build off him? I went from scum reading him to town reading him in a rapid span, seems like the kinda shit scum would want to avoid. Comparatively hts's interactions were a lot safer. Night 1: why shoot damdred? As I said myself earlier, I felt he was a likely blue heal, plus he was tring me and dyh reasonably hard, sl was highly likely to die eventually so they didn't kill him for that guy. Damdred was constantly coming back to hts as scum, if scum was going to win this game with an hts dyh sl combo, it would be via hts's strong play. To that end, Damdred was a pretty huge threat, you also can't say the chance of heal is a non factor, as doc actually did heal Damdred, he just got rbd. With hts as trump card, the risky shot makes sense. This first part is pretty WIFOM altogether, given Damdred's list, your reasoning cannot possibly exclude Shape, but we'll recap here. On April 23 2016 06:22 Damdred wrote: I had to run to the store so my post won't be posted maybe mafia won't kill me and I'll be able to post it when I'm home.

I feel like tumble is really likely mafia with what I said. Which leaves me in a world where SL, shape and james have two mafia in it from my perspective. Technically GB could drop here but idk I'm in his pocket a bit ATM with the hard town read earlier. If I had to make a guess its James, SL and tumble. But i was still working through things Several problems with the points you are making - LS (and even I admitted) mentioned the tactical wagon to shoot was myself, and scum could not have known that SL was or wasn't getting shot N1.

I was hard scumreading GB before both you engaged with each other, and threw my case at him to see how he reacted, and at the time concluded both of you were town on town after engaging you both. I drew doubt to your timestamps and rightfully so, and you backed off, so how you are categorising this now is really shady. (GB's confusing read on Tictock threw me off, but as far as you two interacting I was getting reads on you both.)

Obviously you're re-framing your arguments to make me look bad, and your hitting me immediately for the second vote right off the gate to lock in a likely mislynch is very suspicious. But I'll continue with your next post and go through the motions with Shape to be fully sure. | ||

This is bad because: 1) It is impossible to have contentful posts in the beginning of the game 2) Calling someone null is saying something someone did is not alignment indicative, which means (I) he is wasting a post because he is saying nothing contributive, and (ii) he is trying to look contributive while saying nothing at all.

He is kinda avoids a read on 3 people (talks about FF, but doesn't actually really gives a read, more so on the threads interaction on FF) (HTS statement was pretty none positional) (and I have really no clue what he means on mine lol) He also doesn't seem to go after anyone other than GB. And focuses on GB on his next post. Read on SL a bit more meaningful, possible bus however based on SL activity/vanilla role. DYH read from Shape could indicate partners.

Pluses here is that he can eval as town like this, it is akin to Palmar's sexy filter method. Unsure of whether it could have been a vote to blend in as enough were switching to DYH.

Gum asked Damd to give him a reason to think HTS was more likely to be scum for real. Then, after his question is blown off with another joke, goes back to a joking tone and vote. It is the shift from a pressuring tone back to a joking tone for no reason that caught my eye. Long explanation for a small feeling, but whatever. This read completely drops on Gumshoe and then progresses to "cautiously optimistic." Could be a contrived read from DYH or a soft push.

This part about Shape might weaken the (town) point about the hard push from DYH pushing him D1 when Shape wasn't in danger of being lynched. gumshoe on DYH/SL First a long list post in response to DYH's initial push.

Ff is the better choice methinks. This is an interesting progression - first we have a reason to scumread him and then a poor reason to townread him. Checking thread sentiment along with the votes, this does make gumshoe look very poor, I know FF and Tictock did call him out for this.

I know he eventually voted DYH but there are a few things between the partners that look weird to scummy here. Very late, but I have to adjourn here. Not sure how much time I will have to play tomorrow, but will try my best. Things that make gumshoe look bad - the read progression on sicklucker day 1 (see above) in conjunction with the votes. There is also some dialogue from DYH that indicates partner talk as also indicated above. Shape doesn't have much going in his favour either, save the harder push from DYH, but I'm still finding more ATM from an associative reads standpoint on gumshoe. Not fully complete on gumshoe, but so far this is where I'm at. Good night. | ||

I know your position and why, but I will continue reading filters during my breaks to be sure. I'm in a business conference all day again today and I have a client dinner after that will run me into EoD, I will probably not be available in the hours leading up to the end of the game. Shape if you are town, PLEASE STEP IT UP. | ||

If dude knew if ff was going to flip green he would not have voted ff at the last sec. the end. point 3: shape is not a pushy player and he wasnt leading town sentiment, he was probs just lazy/realistic. Like I blatantly defended sl that day, so my criteria for scummy regarding this lynch is "who was afraid to look bad" and shape def doesnt fall into that category. point 4: you vaguely brush over how he lands on mafia and treat this as a scum point... gonna need more than that. point 5: if hts is the final scummer, we can assume he was having a hard time pushing as no one was actually scum XD which may very well explain his hesitance, for proof though I was also busy, I was frustrated with the situation as well making the game hard to play at all. point 6: I didnt vote due to a combination of gb disappointment and work, that shows there is a precedent for a townie showcasing this behaviors ether way therefore it is null. point 7: of course a player will look reactionary when they dont really know who scum is (ie scum is one of thier hard town reads) point 8: read it carefully. point 9: we've already explained hts's behavior, 1: it's her last game she wants to win 2: her scum team is beneath her skill level so she can buss if need be 3: Shes generally skilled and active as ethier side. Shape may very well just be a shit townie, we def have lots of those always. point 10: Hts was only pushed by sl once she started pushing him(around when he looked like the lynch) she eventually voted off him, and he voted off her FOR LITERALLY NO GIVEN REASON ON TO YOU. 11: Post day 2, hts does not have to play scummy, she just has to not die. 12: As we said, last game, usually active, nai. 12/40 Phoneposting from here on out so bear with me. First things first. Yes I'll confirm it's my last game. This isn't alignment indicative obviously. Second Koshi, I thought you were aiming to put pressure on Shapelog like you did FF day 1 to just play/do something in mylo but I'll say this. I'll sum up my reasoning for preferring voting gumshoe in a few bullet points if you don't want to read or read my filter 1 taking several things out of context in my gameplay, even in this last post there are several leaps of logic he is making 2 associative reads (my last long post) are showing a stronger correlation between him vs shape 3 day 1 play more specifically the read progression on sicklucker in conjunction with his voting day 1 indicates he is saving his scum teammate sicklucker Additionally what he is doing is taking a fear read (saying I'm active and a good player as either alignment) and using it amongst other points to justify why it could only be me who is mafia Another example of that is how he used/analysed the nk wifom. Additionally he puts me on a team based on an interaction that could come from either alignment without considering the additional interactions I've had with those players. 4 the manner in which he voted me from the off in mylo is probably the most suspicious thing to me given his justification and his subsequent explanation for saying that I could convince Koshi to lynch him makes zero sense based on - Koshi's repeated lynch preference between Shape and myself - Koshi's and my repeated difficulty in working together all game | ||

Shapelog, why you are wasting time on Koshi, fuck if I knew. He isn't and should not get lynched. Gumshoe and I are not voting him. What are your thoughts on my case against gumshoe, or his points on me? You said you were catching up on our filters, did you have any thoughts there? If you are town, this line of play is quite frustrating from you. | ||

I'm switching my vote back to gumshoe. Koshi here are my brief thoughts on Shape. I have not played with mafia Shape and in the town games I recall (nutcracker, which I've hosted, newbie 18) he has never stuck out to me as overly townie. His volume to content ratio had always been high. His AFKness this game is obviously NAI. There were two posts in his filter (I mentioned it before, honestly can't remember the numbers now) that showed some sort of townie thinking, but the thing I'm trying to take into context is that if someone isn't around to play they also aren't going to make the greatest mover/shaker/impact reads you are seeking. This doesn't make him town but I want to get the info I can in mylo on him, which is why I'm presently frustrated at his play. The other thing that I want to also re-review - and that I also draw attention to - is gumshoe's case on GB at the time it happened. I know there were several points he made that were identical to my concerns. I saw the points he made were drawn out at a stretch with GB which after the time stamp error I concluded were town on town. But a key caveat now that I see in the manner he's pushing me are the points where he's reframing the arguments to make me look mafia. There was a long bullet point list he drew on GB and there were some bullet points on the list that also looked meh or not necessarily indicative of mafia. I dismissed it at the time, focusing on the points that were similar to mine. Seeing what he's doing with me this cycle, reviewing his pushes on GB and comparing those to his play this cycle will should give the remaining town here a better idea whether that was confirmation bias or malicious. Going to try and get that on my next break. | ||

your vote on me has little to do with koshi, you voted me for efficiencies sake and also because you set it up earlier with the gb/me waffle. You can always vote shape at any time (as I pointed out) so for the moment makes sense to vote the guy you a) set up on earlier b) is attacking you. No I voted you because the manner in which you voted me exposed a double standard. If Shapelog pulled the same thing you better believe I'd be questioning the why and the motives. Your associative read on SL/me does not take into account thread sentiment and the manner in which Damdred was trying/debating to lead the lynch on me. like I said before what sicklucker did after the 6th vote on Fecalfeast is WIFOM. THE TIMING OF HIS VOTE TO KOSHI OR ANYONE ELSE IS IRRELEVANT. those make your points invalid. You made a point about NK wifom and Koshi and the point in my response to that is that it didn't make you any more town or me any more mafia, and that is the way you were trying to portray it earlier. | ||

Or my stubborness gets seen as BM now. But I don't see how that is possible. So with the mod confirming this isn't an act I am forced to vote HTS. ##unvote ##vote HTS I still think Shape is mafia but I guess I sheep the confirmed town. Skimmed the last page and I think much of the preceding play speaks for itself. I couldn't get to the GB case contrast unfortunately but I'll just say this much, gumshoe's gameplay in mylo and elsewhere revolves around a significant amount of self meta and WIFOM. I feel I've been able to demonstrate the holes in most if not all his points, he's repeatedly taken points out of context on me (and possibly GB) and with the emotional outburst he is doing what he needs to do - survive. Town need to find mafia and scum need to survive. The scepticism on Shape isnt and wasn't there. I'll also state that I don't understand why emotional appeal with or without mod warning confirms him as town - the vast majority of mods do not go for a direct modkill outside racist/sexist/homophobic but I digress. I have also seen scum go for emotional appeal and/or look to fake things like these to get what they desire - recent examples 1 ritoky discussing his broken hand to dismiss a push against him on Outlaw (he wasn't lying but it was how the story was used) 2 Fidei cursing out his mafia teammate Nocturne Mage in the thread in Newbie 18 3 Onegu planned/drafted a fit of rage in the Outlaw scum qt and asked me as a cohost whether his fake rage was enough for us to warn him. My point is scum are capable of faking rage or acting as such out of frustration because they are on the verge of being found out. I'd be less bitterly disappointed if I had a legit case made against me based on scummy things I actually did or taken the multiple angles approach combining VCA in the appropriate context votes were made. I'd be less disappointed if the cases being made against me even discussed the mistakes I made like discussing my push on Tictock or why Fecalfeast or GB one liners spooked me to make poor calls on them. In any case I have to leave the thread, I am spending my entire evening with a client and I cannot return by end of day. Even if I'm mislynched I'm now 99% confident I've found the final scum, my inability to push past this is due to work. | ||

My reasoning for hard tring people is often very diffrent from most players, which makes it easy to discard because they dont see the sense in my logic in the first place. Of course im not doing that because im town and it DOES make sense to me and its all I need. Hts has convinced far better players than me that she was town (damdred and koshi) in this very game, I would never willingly be in this position as scum. my scum game is lazy, I dont have a single one over 4 pages, I'm just not that motivated to play as scum. I would never create more work for myself. also forgive me for assuming that you were going to vote me once you started referring to me as a douchy super villain -_- 19/40 More self meta. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........ If Shape is mafia, which I highly doubt at this point, town can whinge at me for my part in throwing in mylo again but being confident you're scum, I hope this is a lesson learnt for everyone else, I know emotional appeal has been a complaint from players as both alignments. Even when true (see examples) and regardless of how a mod reacts I think people should more critically think how the emotion is used and what your intentions are. The contrast in play was simple. I'm not playing to survive, I can only go so far. You, however are. | ||

I'm done. I urge you to look through the cases, the gameplay, the associative reads and the intentions behind gumshoe's play. I think today and day 1 gives the most obvious evidence where the final scum is and I hope Koshi you'll think about what I said at least, I can't really control anything that happens after this. GGs everyone. Regardless of what happens, I really hope town will find a way but if not, hopefully postgame will be constructive. Disformation and NocturneMage will both discuss my gameplay among other things, in the postgame. | ||
