While it's true that scum like wasting posts so they do not have to post later in the phase I am probably doing half in the first then do 10 and saving 15 near eod. A post restrictive game doesn't have to be a dead game. SL is obviously null Town on gumshoe and on dyh (tentative on both for halfway meh reasons) LS is sort of in the bottom half of null bordering on a scum lean. He entered the game bringing nothing new but rehashed something someone else said and making it look worse than it was. He could be scum. I was just being blunt on what I thought thought Gumshoe had said and I was making it a tiny bit of a fun joke because I hate trump myself but his supporters are even worse :\ Anyways Gumshoe is likely town based on my only game playing with him in Storm with his style of posting matching his style of posting here. I really don't think a scum gumshoe would vote anyone this early in the game and breaking down a case like that. | ||

This feels kinda nitpicky and more a narrative you are projecting on what Gum did than what actually happened LS is a bit interesting, he's half joking but a bit too serious for the start of the game imo. He goes into defensive mode here pretty quick, and his stance on Gum does a 180 here. (He said his vote was weird before, but here he says scum!Gum prob wouldn't vote anyone this early) Though tbf Gum did make a WoT post between then, still kinda a sudden flop. LS also way overuses that pic of the guy smoking a blunt in tinfoil, which I only mention kus it kinda bugs me... even if it's a good tinfoil pic. Koshi and SL are both underwhelming to me atm, but meh. Shape has me slightly worried due to the way he's setting up a posting style for himself. Prob not a good way to explain it. I like Gum for the amount of content he's putting out and for having similar thoughts to my own. That's about all I got for the moment. Well at least all I feel like sharing atm. Okay let me make this straight: Yes I didn't like his vote but the way he broke it down seem very town and something I do expect from a town!gumshoe based on previous experience with him. Weird does not equal me scumreading someone just makes something weird >.< About the tinfoil hat guy: I like that picture and thought it was hillrious is does represent Vivax in a nutshell for me ^_^ On April 20 2016 21:56 Half the Sky wrote: 2/40 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. TT post irked me a bit yes because considering the start of the game I would expect him to try to stir up discussion sooner rather than later due to post restrictions :\ | ||

The question thing I feel like could come from either alignment (even with the info in the thread) from tumble, as his style is to open up with some...questionable questions lol. Usually, he becomes easier for me to read later into the game, as his motives are clearer and such, and his thought process becomes easier for me to see. He did come back though. Which is good. As someone who just rolled scum with TT, this is very different. In storm (Team rebels 4 life) TT has/had been suffering from rolling scum a lot, which reflected in his play. He was moot. In fact, he posted something simlar as a opening here, and never follow threw. Even in Devil, he wasn't this quick with reads or anything (IIRC). Most of the first 24 hours were him joking. with me in particular. I still going through his read list to see if anything stands out. Noted although his second post seems fine at first glance I will go more into it later. On April 21 2016 00:09 Half the Sky wrote: 4/40 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. Well the imagery is what I going for as they didn't have a good whisky picture for that type of setting. He was even lazier than normal in his scum game like I asked him to do something he wouldn't do it because he wanted a zero effort scum game. Well you were obsing the game that why I referenced it. | ||

I think your reason for voting me is silly and contradicts your first post; I am able to prove myself towny later in the game. I think LS is scum. He asks a joke questions right off the bat but then tries to defend it as 'trying to stir up discussion' when he gets called out for it in sicklucker's fake vote post. The fact that LS called someone out for not trying to stir up discussion after making a joke post himself is one thing, but to defend the joke post in the same way you condemned the other post? What kind of useful discussion would his 'earth is flat' question have brought to the game? If anything it wasted a post making sicklucker respond to it.

Okay then..... This post, to me, shows that LS was so worried that he was being scumread right away that he didn't even think to check the voting thread.

HtS - kus she is scumreading his townreads (himself and LS) Myself- Kus my first post said I would come back to the game later. It also doesn't seem like he's reading that game too closely. His read on me is based on my first post but doesn't seem to have noticed I've made more posts than that. Also this series of posts doesn't seem like he's reading very closly/not paying attn. ##Vote: Tumblewood This doesn't make Tumblewood scum it as if you forgot about Storm and you never read Newbie Student XX >.< I see him as a newer version of me: Hard to read for some people but given time he easier to read. | ||

In fact if you notice in last big post I didn't call anyone town or scum (thought you might imply that based off what I said). So "idk maybe town" isn't really what I was hoping for. Mixed feelings about Koshi's push on FF, on the one hand I like the pressure but I'm not seeing anything particularly scummy about FF. In fact if I had to point to anything that might make me lean scum on FF it would be his lazy townread on me, but Koshi kinda did that too. + Show Spoiler + Part of me wonders if Koshi was trying to buddy me in #116. Calls my post "really good" and sets the bar, and proceeds to imitate the formatting I used. Just a tinfoil thought... I guess I agree with HtS about FF too, I've seen him lazy as town and scum. Tbh I'm not sure he's really done anything alignment indicative yet, partially why I asked him about Damdred (figuered he plays with Damdred a lot so might have some thoughts). @LS what made you have this expectation of me? Also why did you bring up your last scum game when you are saying HtS is going after you for being an easy target? IIRC you played fairly well in that game and have been working to improve your play in general. So that kinda works against you being an "easy target". Just feels like OMGUS to me, and kinda weak omgus at that. Part of that is that you spent 4 posts on this point, but didn't really say anything in any of them. I made a post saying I'd be around later, idk how you interpenetrate that as saying I won't be contributing. Sure if I never followed that up then this is a point, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that I did follow up... So why are you (or were you in this post) thinking that I or HtS are mafia? You actually said this: Which besides being kinda funny (you are only thinking that you are town) it's odd that you put LS on the same level of townyness as yourself. Was there more to this read or is it just because you like his comment about my open? Getting towny vibes from Koshi now, #148 and #149 in particular feels like a townie pushing his thoughts. Also kinda like the latest couple of posts from FF and I kinda agree with his point about Fidei's opening. I kinda expected you to do something off the bat due to post count restrictions meh. I played well enough that my partner Damdred pulled town away from me onto the other two people in my Cell that game. I did it for Damdred. | ||

Yes, I know, that's super unhelpful and super scummy. I might take a quick break and then re-read it. Since Koshi asked, I thought I'd take a look at gumshoe's filter to try and get myself going. The whole vote-retract on Damdred was bizarre. Damdred's posts were obviously not meant to be taken seriously. Damdred and HTS know each other, and they shit talk each other early on. But to make a case and then retract it when it receives the most cursory of push-back FROM DAMDRED suggests he just didn't believe it at all. His point on HTS was basically "she writes clearly" -- she always does that. His point on LS was confusing (scum don't try and get better in their games?). And his last two posts actually say nothing of substance, and seem to be written only with a view towards revving up Koshi. I could vote gumshoe at this stage. I'm getting the scum-feels from TT as well. And I am very suspicious of LS for actually playing the game (I've played with this man as town a number of times, and I've seen more thought put into his last few posts than I've seen pretty much before that point). I don't want to vote HTS this early. My reasoning is that (1) she's a good town player, I'd much rather D1 someone who isn't trying to contribute (2) she's always dispassionate (3) as scum she tends to ask more pointless questions and diverge from the sentiment of the thread. Here, she is making reasonable points that were on point as well. ROLF you only played with me in Himalayas, Dark Tournament, and Newbie Student XX so you don't got a ton of experience with me lol. I had played a tryhard town game in Office Mini but granted it was a pm game so you wont be able to read much of that happened in discussions and stuff that wasn't in the thread there. That was probably my best game I ever played on TL Mafia hammering scum!Sicklucker in LYLO ^_^ | ||

I only got a slight townlean on him I liked some of his later posting mainly he actually trying to case someone although I think he's wrong on Tumblewood though. | ||

The bolded + the follow up on HTS is incredible good play. Therefore I am extremely disappointed that you did nothing but attack Fidei. I haven't been scumreading FF for a while now. And this is a brilliant remark on what you did there LS. So even though I just quoted 3 post which I liked from you LS. When I pressed enter I instantly wondered. Short and to the point scumreads are not how I remember you. So I wonder: Is this LS with TMI making reads? And then the comeback on this post: irks me the wrong way. And I think you know you made a hasty post and are trying to shift attention away from you by making this post: I will be blunt I really do almost always think he's scum regardless of his alignment even since Linux so I normally put him in the null spot unless someone actually got a good read on him. What in that first quote irked you the wrong way? Was it me being cocky because I think I dead right and that you,FF, and Damdred shared my read on HTS? | ||

Which is really odd to do. She can put up effort as scum even when she was sick in Void mafia and in Newbie LX. I seen her do that kind of stuff as scum so that why I didn't comment on it. I also trying to trust my reads more than other people's regarding my scumreads so seeing people thinking the same way makes me more confident about my read. Like talk to Tina and Lex after this game or hell check post game of Newbie Student XX about me needing to trust my reads more. | ||

Here, I'm not leaving any stone unturned, and I believe this is why Koshi saw townieness in that post (presumably) at least bringing attention to those under the radar. Here's another question for you LS - let's say I lose the plot tonight and get modkilled. I will flip town. Whom would you vote for then? I asked you about your only other scumread Tictock, and now you are townreading him (190). So I flip town, where do you go from here?

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. Here is a example post that actually got her townread a little bit in Newbie LX where she was scum: On January 05 2015 22:14 Half the Sky wrote: JarJarBinks, you had said on the previous page that you "would read and stuff". You post again now, saying "reading is hard." I'll be honest, even if you were sarcastic there, you don't look good to me right now either because you don't give me the impression you want to scumhunt. Even with your computer broken, as you say, you still put in a few sentences on how you feel. Your response to ExO indicates you are otherwise caught up on the thread, so aside from your question to him, why not a few lines on what you think of the 2 1/2 pages since beginning? That shouldn't be too difficult from mobile. and another post from there too: On January 06 2015 10:34 Half the Sky wrote: JJB was another one now, based on his lack of interest in scumhunting, even though he had appeared to read the thread on mobile. My sentiment ironically is only further supported by his latest post. Tubesock was one individual that I want to see step it up, because based on the Carol mafia game, I am aware of what he's capable of. I do not like how he used the D1 excuse, however, at the time he originally said that it was still fairly early in D1, I did not scumread him at that time because it was early. Now we are about halfway through D1 and there's a load of content to answer to and for. Regarding the recent read on LS, I see where ExO is coming from with all the town reads, though I am not sure I agree with some aspects of his argument. For example, I'm not sure I entirely agree with LS not scum hunting, since he is asking questions (some of which are going unanswered). However, in his thoughts on Shining I am trying to follow the logic on his read: To this: And then after Shining posts on his return, LS posts this: To me, the progression in LS's reads isn't entirely clear. He has a lot of town reads, yes, but even more important, how he gets to them, especially when others may have contrasting views, is what needs some explanation. Proves she can put some good effort posts as scum. | ||

What about the other people who are pushing you (Koshi, for example)? Koshi isn't really pushing me as hard as HTS, HTS knows I a easy target to pick on if she's scum(which I think she is) she also didn't really give much of a read on FF when she defended him vs Koshi(I don't think she really gave a read still to this point unless I missing it). | ||

Every game I am utterly convinced that you are scum, and you never are. But this is so bad. I have argued in previous games that people were pushing you questionably because you are an easy lynch. But in this game you've actually made points and arguments and generally playing a lot better than you have before. Nobody else (other than me) has accused you of being an easy lynch. And HTS' read on FF? Yeah, Koshi's point was fine. HTS elaborated a lot on a null read. But lots of people don't have reads on lots of people. Fuck, I barely have reads on anyone (and I'm town), but you haven't called me out on it. Are you saying there's an association between FF and HTS? The thing is, I don't think you're dumb enough as mafia to get into a shitfight with HTS this early on. You *know* she's probably a top 5 player on the site, and she always catches you. Unless you're being smart and trying to throw her radar off by going on the offensive. Ugh. Can people start saying who they plan to vote for? Right now I could lynch SL (inactivity), gumshoe or GB. I don't have the town feels about anyone in particular, but I can't see myself voting for either Koshi or HTS, if only because they've been active and coherent, and voting particularly active people off when my reads are as weak as they are seems dumb. If FF is scum it would be with HTS but right now FF could be town for now. To be fair you didn't even post much so there was no substance really. I actually put HTS as probably only in the Top 15(above me) but only probably #6 for scum(lex, Damdred, Palmar,Rels, and Tina are higher than her as scum players). In our history I had shown be a lynchbait as town hence my argument. I going to not post that much until towards EoD due to not having a lot of posts left. | ||

Assume Artanis and/or Hapahauli modkill me. I will flip town. There are three mafia in this game. Even if I'm mafia in your eyes there have to be two more mafia and your hesitance to name them is quite troubling. You were given multiple chances to answer this question and I'm not terribly impressed by using the post count excuse to defer on the question especially when Artanis has given a posting bonus in the ultimate hour of the cycle. Fidei I called this into question last night. I wanted him to explain that as well. Koshi - read Shapelog's filter and tell me that DYH's conclusion on him isn't reasonable. He has ZERO concrete reads. 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. If you not mafia maybe DYH he did buddied me very hard in Newbie Student XX and I am cautious about him this game. If I wrong on anyone it would TW but I really doubt it because I did push him for the same reasons you were pushing him when he was town. + Show Spoiler + Or Lex Hapa, and Tina are the scum team then ya. | ||

Also re: your point on Tumbleweed, I would make the argument newer players really shouldn't be metaing people after a paltry 2 games played but I digress. This was Tumbleweed's post among a few defending LS: ....which by my interpretation seems to incorporate some meta into it. LS looks worse with every post IMO - and in response to his point about LS defending him - scum are very perfectly capable of defending townies when it suits their agenda. I'm still looking at others in the event we need to consolidate - the votes are a shambles right now with 6h15 to go - but LS is my top lynch pick. By far. Fidei had the issue with you possibly taking the Tumbleweed posts out of context. The posts you quoted earlier I didn't think were problematic. I looking worse and worse to you because I pushing for your lynch so obviously you want to put more suspicion on me over you Half the Scum.

A vote for hts is a vote for freedom. I want to build a wall between this town and scum. So let's go. I came into to this game looking for a specific kind of post from scum early. It would fill two cirterias. 1: it would be fluff (policy lynch) 2: it would be the kind of posts that draw in responses drawing towns attention to a policy lynch based off joke reasons fits these 2 criteria, the goal of which is to burn posts from multiple townies concerning shit that is unreadable. Also the serious questions in my first post to him are jokes, not because I meant them jokingly, but because the questions do not get meaningful answers, whereas the vote can actually get good responses. so yeah, the vote was as series a vote as one can make on page 2 of a game of mafia. the joke was a truth and the questions lead only to lies / : also seeing damdred act a little forced at the start reminded me of this, the reason I want to go is because I think playing with different players elsewhere will get me out of this laxy funk I am in to some degree. It would force me to play against players who don't know my meta and where I can't skate by on reputation. shrug its a bit just for me instead of the community and I won't stand in the way of koshi either and I'll try to just work through some of the things I've talked through with some people. (his reasoning for wanting to go to champions) I figure his current mindset is pushing him to make bigger plays as ether faction than he would typically. new section- why gumshoe is wrong. 1: How else are people supposed to get stuff rolling aside from filler?-answer- meh 2: Why would damdred sweep into defend you if hes scum? answer-wifom?

Any way I think we need to get this down a bit more to a couple wagons to,get real,information instead of so spread out doing whatever we want. And no ls no lynching hts today maybe tommorow, hoe she's randomly dropping names to see if people think they ate scum bothers me. Anyway. You know you want to lynch her since she is the active mafia. Just do it! Anyways GB's reasoning for calling me scum is kinda meh it just stuff from the start of the game hopefully he will catch up.

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. 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. Yes Koshi thouht about voting you and same with FF but FF decided he would rather go to Damdred which made his vote wasted because there was no way in hell Damdred was going to get lynched with like 5 mins to go at EoD. Koshi thought about it but in end he didn't change his vote on to you. Damdred did try to vote you EoD it didn't count his change due to it being last second or something.

I bet you wont remember posting this while drunk and I did string a sentence together o.o Also I found it odd that sicklucker decided to try to lynch Koshi when that wasn't happening either o.o If you are a vig you shoot me or HTS.

Gumshoe reason for voting FF was he disliked FF's wasted post style but he was scumreading TT even more and claimed it was because TT wouldn't get lynched that he voted for FF. Although I do still think he's town it just odd. Koshi didn't like FF early on but then took his attention to HTS,Me, and DYH only to trust his early read on FFand seems to trust Koshi a little much. Seems calmer than my last game with him idk why is but seems like it. @Shape: What are your reads atm? @Gumshoe: Why you thought it would be a waste to push for the lynch of your choice EoD? Koshi: What are your reads atm? | ||

Don't ever lynch Damdred or TW meta suggests that TW is town unless I feeling way to bad for the fact I mislynched him in Storm. Damdred been pushing stuff and reevaluating stuff. There is 1 mafia in Koshi,Gum, and shape but I think it's Shape his stuff looked worst regarding the lynch of FF. Gumshoe said his computer was acting up and his day looked worst compared to who he was pushing. Koshi I doubt he's mafia he been doing his own stuff and been pushing his thoughts too. Lynch HTS unless I dead wrong on her in that case I will probably eat a hat. Find the 3rd mafia inside the outlier votes on lynches that weren't going to happen EoD. | ||
