HtS is throwing me off because he's (she's?) scumreading me and LS and those are the only two people I'm thinking are town so far. The arguments feel a bit stretched but so is everything at this stage. Null for now but will become a scumread if this continues. | ||

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. I liked LS's comment that Tictock was making a post to say that he wouldn't be contributing. The only people I am considering as possible scum right now are you, Shape, and TT but that's obviously subject to change. I am townleaning Koshi because of his solid entrance, but I don't think that Damdred has done anything he couldn't do as scum. I am also getting used to your style, so I can't yet be sure whether your method of reading me is scummy or just unfamiliar. It would also help to know whether you have a tendency to be overexplainy as town/scum. | ||

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. I think it's townie because that's the kind of post scum just ignores. After playing Storm and XX with him, I don't really scumread him for having bad reasons for his reads, because that seems to be NAI for him. | ||

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" I am also thinking I like Tumble his last post. That actually sounds like townie reasoning. So I actually am more inclined to lynch HtS over FF atm but I am going to stick on FF. I could comment on more things I think but I don't want to be the driving force behind any conversation. Like this post but mostly because it affirms what I was already saying. Why don't you want to be the driving force behind conversation?

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 Also like this post, GB gets to be a townlean for now. Solid, original insight. | ||

A bit hesitent to call him town though because I've seen him screw around and save his effort for EoD before as scum. Still his thoughts felt pretty coherent and reasonsble ... Idk I think I'll reevalueate after rereading the game. @HtS About the time. I asked FF whathis thoughts on Damdred where I glanced back at his filter myself. I got the sense that his early posts where half joking half stirring up discussion which made me lean town. Since then I haven't gotten any strong feels off him. The posts I quoted from Tumble about GB felt off to me since Tumble jumped in early on to tell GB that he was joking, but then called GB's case on SL "solid thinking" when it was about the same thing he was saying was a joke earlier. Then he caught that and retracted that read a bit. It came off to me like Tumble wasn't paying attention to what GB was talking about there even though he was around when GB first started questioning those posts from SL. @ Shape, My read on Tumble hasn't really changed. That line just continues to bug me kus it's a weird thing for town to say. He basically said he considers LS to be as towny as himself, which either means hes totally sure LS is town or that he's not really thinking of himself as town. The reads post from GB seems good + he sometimes screws around until EoD = still hesitant to call him town? I don't see why that would make you more hesitant. Re: GB, that was because filters don't give context. Re: LS, of course I'm more confident in my towniness than LS. | ||

Besides that I am curious how tumble has such a hard town read on gb in this situation? I highly value when people make perceptive points (aka good with non-obvious evidence) and GB has two good posts like that. Also not such a definitive read, perhaps I should have phrased it as "because he appears town." | ||

- ls looks pretty town because sl would be stupid to jump on a 1-vote wagon on hts with his scummate - fidei either saw gumshoe way early or jumped the gun in order to get maximum cred - one scum between shape, hts, and gum for switching to save sl, probably gumshoe because he jumped on sl latest, switched earliest, and is otherwise scummiest - dyh, tt, gb, and fidei utterly useless on their silly stubborn solo wagons man, stuff is happening but it's way easier not to think and use my silly rules for vca instead | ||

With limited posts people push out reads harder because they want other people to react on them and confirm their suspicion, or just pressure people with the reads, or further the game and spark discussion. It's a good thing. Also hard reading people town forces mafia to do shit because they might feel antsy if it is true. tldr: I also wont lynch TT before I have at least 1 good reason to townread everybody else. That post was really good and set the bar high for everybody to follow. I also townread Damdred for starting the game. I dislike both LS and Shape. Doesn't mean they are mafia but their entrance was weak. But town can enter weak if they pick it up. Shape ending his 5 fluff posts with a pretty unimportant question and then fucking off for x hours is bad. LS is trying but not making waves. I have issues with this post: Sounds townie but could so easily be made by mafia. Just like most post you make are pure reactionary and controlling. I don't remember you as somebody who is controlling the thread. this post is self-inconsistent and generally bad tt read is whatever, damdred read is mediocre (scum or town can start the game and koshi should know that). ls is "trying" which should imply towniness but koshi still dislikes him. also that ff read is hot fresh trash. [side note, that ff quote makes me think he's town now that sl is flipped scum] On April 20 2016 20:22 Koshi wrote: ##vote Fecalfeast I have issues with almost all his posts. Sicklucker his vote on LS was 100% trashtier reasoning and the comment from FF on it seems too much like buddying. Townie should be grilling sicklucker his bad play or just add something decent on how LS is approaching this game. The lazy +1 on a in my opinion really useless vote on LS by sl just looks fucking horrible; Also TT could be town for sure. But again. True statement that seems like a townie that is paying attention and that seems correct. But the way FF is making posts is not to make a difference or push his opinion. It's all a bit too calculated, too prudent and I don't like it for a bit. sl did a scummy thing but nah remember ff is the real scum here On April 21 2016 04:05 Koshi wrote: I understand that you could be town and do the things the way you did as town. But I don't understand why. 1) I put pressure on FF. 2) You say 5 lines about FF that say NOTHING AT ALL. DOES NOT FURTHER THE GAME AT ALL. TAKES PRESSURE AWAY FROM FF. And just undermines my pressure. 3) You do this for no apparent good reason because you are completely null on FF. this is good though i like this then he talked about ls for a while but i didn't have a conclusion to draw from it On April 21 2016 22:53 Koshi wrote: ##unvote ##vote DoYouHas reasoning is the read on Shape.

This is much shorter btw gumshoe is either obvious scum or derp town here... i have a personal rule that there are no obvious scum, but gumshoe may have just broken it because he messed up, gave a shitty excuse, and then gave up i also don't think i'll ever be able to think (bar a legit blue claim) that gum is a solid townie this game based on how bad his last 48 hours were voting gumshoe is a pretty obvious choice here so i'm going to do that ##vote: gumshoe | ||

disclaimer: even though i am trying a new way of reading him, keep in mind that i have been wrong on shape literally every game with him where i was town i feel like you can't really read shapelog based on content or all of that lame stuff easier for me, because i have no obligation to quote anything. woohoo! comparing shape's town and scum games, as town he works through his reads in posts more often and as scum he posts a lot more short comments arguing with other people's reasoning... i supposed i'd call them "well this is weird/wrong/bad" posts. there will be fewer, of course, because he has to consolidate everything into a third of his usual posts per day, but it's the manner that counts, y'know? the one thing i notice about his play compared to his usual meta is that he only posts when he has something to say-- so, no spam (okay, less spam) and no reads-in-progress. this is probably due for the most part to the post restriction, but maybe i'm buying too much into that. shape is null to me for now but i expect to have a read on him once he posts more. i would not vote him yet. also, his supposed self-consciousness is probably not super alignment-indicative. | ||

I made the mistake of signing up for a game off the high of another, I've done that before but I simply did not learn my lesson then, without the actual will to devote the effort. None of that matters though, because the dude with that very excuse was scum and given my role in saving him no amount of effort on my part should ever clear me in this position. gg good luck town. yeah, as genuine as this seems, I don't ever want to take someone to LyLo like this. too many question marks, and there'd always be that question in the back of my mind, "was that concession fake?" BUT, you can salvage this, gumshoe. if you are town, use your position as future confirmed townie to leverage your reads. I hate to see townies give up like this because I know you can still be useful. | ||

There is no rule that "in every game, there is always an underwhelming Mafia player" This is just an easy excuse to call people Mafia. I want you to give me real reasons to why you think someone is Mafia. I don't even know who this post is talking to but I like it. GB is probably town, or if he's not, a scum taking advantage of a poor town presence a la Artanis in XX. He's worth keeping around for a while because he's the only one actually doing anything besides maybe Koshi and me. I also can't decide which pains me more: to see Koshi wasting posts like this, or to see everyone else be so conservative/AFK when they're never going to hit that 40+5 post cap anyway. This is a dangerously poor town atmosphere that could lead to an easy and unopposed mafia victory like in NSM XX. | ||

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 is a good post. at least one and a half town points for this one. On April 21 2016 13:20 DoYouHas wrote: Caught up. I'll filter dive tomorrow to really start sorting people before the deadline. HtS is my top town read. I really liked how she pursued her scumleans on LS and TW. She kept talking to them. She wasn't trying to convince them that they were scum, but she was trying to get more information out of them. Implies to me that she cares more about solving than displaying her stances. Shape is the person I'm most suspicious of, doesn't seem to be doing much and his posts are overly self-conscious, especially for someone that hasn't been seriously pressured yet. I'm a little worried about Damdred. He was very quick to help Koshi against HtS and seemed like he dropped the pressure as soon as Koshi(who I'm leaning town on) wasn't leading the charge anymore. I like how DYH evaluates HtS here, but it's nothing spectacular. I don't oppose the fact that you read Shape like that, but tbh I don't think that reasoning is very good for evaluating him. On April 21 2016 13:27 DoYouHas wrote: Actually, I want to revise what I said about Shape. It isn't so much that he is self-conscious. It is more that he is just talking about himself a lot, even after the beginning posts. Filtering LS to see if I want to sheep HtS. Damdred said something about clarification being townie, and I definitely agree. 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. I just don't understand the logic behind this read. 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 guess kinda town for trying to evaluate whether the wagon is on the right track. DYH's filter is decent, but it was also decent in XX where he was scum. I am seeing a lot of parallels between the two games, and if I see DYH-- or anyone, for that matter-- skating by with a tiny filter by D3 or D4 I'm confiscating their town points. Not a good lynch now though. | ||

I don't plan on being useless anymore, but reading the thread is hard, so this is where I'm at before actually reading any pages starting with the number 3 town me - me koshi - koshi ??? shape - is it even shape if he doesn't spam? gumshoe - prob did something stupid and confirmed himself fidei - koshi seems angry about him which makes him either confirmed town or confirmed scum hts - don't sheep me on this especially because I've just skipped over most WoTs, aka all of her posts tt - he's playing this game, right? I seriously forgot scum gb - not sure what the case is but it seems convincing I'm going to catch up now unless someone wants to be nice and sum up the last 36 hours conveniently | ||

I really don't want to read hts's filter gb and fidei have real cases against them so maybe one of them is scum, I'll look at them next tt looks town still but hasn't gotten out of his comfort zone yet shape is really blendy, but that's probably a result of being inactive so it's NAI yw, going to make three more posts and then afk-vote someone | ||

this is a shitty reason and very easy to refute, but he's responding from a ground of "nah you guys are so silly I'm confirmed town" then again, I'd expect him to prioritize his survival a lot more if he were last scum hmmm not seeing anyone more convincing though | ||

First rule of nightkills is that they never make anyone town or scum because they're drenched in wine.Last game as the last mafia alive Shape took 2 blue's with him into 3 man lylo, and here we know that Fidei was RB'd D1 so the last mafia has to be the RB. If Shape was scum here I'm like 90% sure he would have RB'd Fidei and left him alive for the WIFOM, especially since Fidei was fairly set in his scumread on HtS. On April 30 2016 00:47 Tictock wrote: Unless you are gumshoe, reading into posts and finding things that aren't there is a trait of someone trying to make a case out of nothing. This is a tactic of a scum, a bad town, or anyone who needs to case someone based on PoE but has no good reasons. And your point on me sucked, what anyone says with regards to their own alignment is 99% NAI.It's not like town doesn't read into posts and find things that aren't there. Also it was still a good point I had against Tumble, it's super weird to say "I think LS and me are probably town" I said Koshi's read on LS was BS, as in it was a terrible reason to townread LS. Given that it's Koshi we are talking about, him having weird/bad reads is actually more town indicative imo, which is what I concluded based on that. You brought this point up earlier and concluded the opposite irrc. + Show Spoiler [Just something I noticed] + While this isn't really conclusive I also can't help but notice you've been referencing posts almost exclusively by post number rather than providing the post itself. I point it out kus I used the same tactic in my last scum game (as shitty as it was) because I realized it makes it harder for people to fact check the points you make, it puts the onus on us to plug that number in and find the post you are referring to ourselves. Though I've seen you do this in Obs and such before too (course you can't really quote in those) so idk if that really means much. no comment on that second paragraph because I've hardly been reading the thread Re: "Just something I noticed" - Does this make HtS town or scum? It looks like you're trying to cast shade over HtS without actually going so far as to-- god forbid-- say that referencing post numbers only is scummy. | ||

I don't know whether that's because I think it's scummy, or entirely because that's a stupid phrase. Just leave it out. Say, "Koshi is almost certainly town." There. 1 scum point awarded to TT for saying something so bad, like town would award scum a win for playing so well.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. onto relevant points I think your Shape townread is unfounded, but it's an odd read for scum to make, because Shape is a totally viable mislynch target for scum. arrrghhh I have weak reasons but strong vibes | ||
