I think this is going to be a really slow game unless the newbs talk a lot. None of the vets are big talkers.  | ||

It could mean that your playful tete-a-tete in the early stages of Day 1 could be a means to generate posts, thus aiming to remove any suspicion placed upon you for inactivity when one clicks your posting summary, and could be a means to suggest that you are both green or blue. Both of these aims could signify the opposite. | ||

On June 04 2016 08:23 MoosyDoosy wrote: So guys, what are your thoughts on CRISPR technology? I did a presentation on it recently and it's a tool to edit genes/DNA. Just interested in your thoughts. If we refine our knowledge of CRISPR we can basically cure genetic diseases and make all mosquitoes male so they don't bite humans and spread shit like malaria, Zika, etc. Common genetic diseases include Tay-Sachs Disease, Down Syndrome, forms of cancer, Parkinson's Disease, etc. So we can cure millions of lives. On the other hand, we can change the cosmetic appearances of our children at will like height, eye color, hair color. Not to mention increase physical capabilities. So supersoldiers aren't far off. The problem I have with this is that people will try to fit a social stereotype of an attractive appearance which is harmful for people's conceptions of themselves. Not to mention it creates a division between the rich and poor since editing embryos requires in vitro fertilization which is an expensive process. Also, there's the issue of personhood with embryos. Should we be allowed to edit embryos? Are they "people" yet at an embryonic stage or until they're born and develop thought? What about as a fetus when their brain starts developing or they start feeling pain? All questions to think about. So what are your thoughts? Pro-CRISPR or anti-CRISPR? :3 Embryos are not people. Even babies are barely people, in my opinion. I am for this, because it is the new age of survival of the fittest. In a liberal society that has welfare and other such bottom-raising measures, the average human being's genetic health is on the decline. People who would have died in the 18th century are procreating, not to mention people that would have died during the formative epochs of our species. Genetic modification is the next step to ensuring that those who either by lottery or hard work have the means by which to ensure a better future for their progeny, and thus a healthier for mankind. Fiscal natural selection is our species' next bottleneck and our savior. | ||

Confirmation bias is attributing new information as support for preconceived notions. I am using only one piece of information as support for a notion that was conceived as a result of this information and not any prior interpretation I had of you or Superbia (of which there was none, as I know none of you). | ||

Going to say that I believe you are equally suspicious in my eyes as you are both players in the same potential scheme. If we forget your high posting volume and only consider the content, I would say your conversation with him and his consequent assertion that I am a townie are contributing factors. While the latter statement is true, the only sure way to know who is townie or not is by being mafia at this point, and to soften the revelation with the word "read" is a simple tactic to avoid suspicion and to potentially win allies in people whom QT knows is town. | ||

For quicktwist. Can you explain how you came to a serious vote on super. What changed? That's fine, they are there for anyone who is curious, and were presented solely as some substantive evidence against Tumblewood's flimsy read. What I think of Quick town-reading me so early is that he is that he is potentially trying to make allies among people he would know are confirmed townie, because he is mafia. Or, in retrospect, as my first post in response to him and Superbia was more or less stating that I found their behavior suspicious, he aims to pass that suspicion onto me by making it seem like I am in cohorts with them, or something. The fact that he is a newcomer to TL Mafia may have something to do with the fact that he is playing, in my opinion, fast and dangerous. | ||

One of the advantages or disadvantages of being a non-native speaker is that I've learned many words that are more accurate to my intention but are unwieldy for native speakers. Another contributing factor is that when my fingers are on the keyboard, I enter some parallel mindset of "must make this Ivy League - level" because of my job. As a mafia in that game, after re-reading my own posts, I've come to the conclusion that I fucked up and tried to be too vehement in my defense and my counter-arguments were all stretches of the imagination. It was the text translation of desperation once I became suspected. | ||

Jumping to the defense? I'm just pressuring him to answer questions that others have asked him, to which he has given no real response. Is Mafia the type of game where someone can get away with jumping into it gung-ho, pointing fingers and making calls, and have no response to any questioning as to why those claims were made? That seems to me the antithesis of this game. | ||

The only outside theory I have, if I may, is again collusion. He voted for one player. He then changes his vote to another player, while possibly trying to slip by the fact that he actually voted for yet another player, one that only has any votes from kushmountain, a player whose defense for the lack of activity and analysis in comparison to his previous posting style was simply "I was at work so I had more free time," which should be bullshit to begin with. As I see it, there are two interpretations here: 1. QuickTwist is a free radical, a wildcard, and for that reason he is dangerous to the town. He does not respond to questioning with any substance, makes unsubstantiated claims, and he intentionally misleads the other town members. Maybe he just doesn't care. Regardless of the underlying cause, he should be lynched because even a townie of his character is detrimental to the town simply because of the chaos he propagates. 2. QuickTwist is Mafia, and potentially so is kushmountain. Being new to TL Mafia, QuickTwist acted rashly and had to backtrack after some further coordination with the veteran player. This means he is scum, and is detrimental to the town, and should be lynched. I fail to see any other alternative. | ||

On June 04 2016 11:41 Tumblewood wrote: of course this is a crude summary, but the vibe I get from this post is, "QT acts irrationally, and therefore he is probably mafia," which is a poor basis for a scumread, because town players frequently act irrationally. QT has actually been the single most helpful person to town so far, regardless of alignment, because he has sparked quality discussion and remained active all game so far. Your summary of my summary is not accurate. A more accurate summary would be "QuickTwist acts irrationally, therefore is a detriment to the town, regardless of his actual affiliation." Activity is not a metric here, because the majority of his activity as far as I can tell has been vague, full of memes, and as I've said countless times, unsubstantiated. The few posts of his which do have some sort of value I think I could count on one hand. A scum player would follow this posting pattern - inconclusive, divisive, and substance-less posts that detract from any actual analysis. You've also ignored the fact that his vote does not reflect anything he has said in the thread, and that sqrtofneg1 has done nothing to gain the amount of suspicion necessary for two people to vote for him. Hence, I suspect collusion and that QuickTwist and possibly kushmountain are scum, but in the end I am only certain that I don't think QuickTwist will actually benefit the town whether he is scum or not, so I voted for him. | ||

On June 04 2016 11:44 Tumblewood wrote: also jealous what do you mean by collusion? I don't need a dictionary definition, but the word would imply that a townie is working to help the scum, which is surely not your intent. I may know what you mean as "buddying"-- do you mean that a scum is working to gain the trust of a townie by townreading him? My initial statement of collusion was to imply that it appeared like two scum are engaging in seemingly playful banter and thus eliminate the chance of either of them being called out for inactivity, while not-so-subtly hinting at each other being townies and thus not the scum that they very well may be. "Buddying" could be what QuickTwist was doing after this in regards to myself and other posters, by calling townies whom he well knows are townies but with no evidence in order to give them a window of acceptance that could potentially cause them to trust him and support him. | ||

This is a question that has been heavy on me heart for a little while now and I would really like to hear your rationale for why killing a Townie is ever a good idea. A townie acting in a manner such as you have, which is: "inconclusive, divisive, and substance-less posts that detract from any actual analysis" and not answering direct questions which would be rather innocuous if you were not scum or answering in a misleading fashion means that through your play you have demonstrated that you would serve no value to the town whether you are scum or not. Even if you have a PR and it is valuable to the town, your posting game is detrimental to the point where I'd rather take the chance that you are in fact scum and that your role is not in fact in important. The chances of you being scum are higher than the chances of you being valuable, and the chances of you being valuable in text form, judging by the past 10 pages or so, are low as well. Therefore, you are the most valid candidate for lynching in my view and I have yet to see you say anything that would prove me wrong.

If You can demonstrate concretely that lynching me because of my playstyle ie Policy Lynch is better for town that not then I might change my game plan up a little. You would further have to provide evidence that I will remain to have "inconclusive, divisive, and substance-less posts that detract from any actual analysis" throughout the entirety of the game and that I would not have the ability to be an asset to town. If this game has no clues then we are basically just playing mental masterbation with ourselve in a very circle jerk type fashion. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/508622-newbie-mafia-xxi#3 Chance of you being scum, excluding myself from the equation because I know that I am not scum = 3/12 = 1/4 Chance of you being blue = 2/12 = 1/6 Chance of you being a truly valuable PR blue like the doc, cop, or vigilante = 3/4 Chance of you being useful to the town without considering your textual input = 1/6 * 3/4 = 3/24 = 1/8 Therefore the chances of you being scum as opposed to a valuable blue are 2:1. This does not include my admittedly subjective but still substantiated claim that your value as a talking head in this game so far is low, so I won't go into that because it is impossible to quantify but it certainly is possible for me to say is my opinion. I could do a post-by-post analysis of your history in this thread and determine how many of your posts were a waste of time and space and how many actually contributed something, but I've already read all of them once and don't have the desire to do so again just to make a fraction in this post for your amusement.

This is not a policy kill, unless you are in fact townie are not playing to win as is stated in the rules in the OP, which I certainly do not think you are so far. | ||

Plus, what you are meaning with your math is essentially the exactly same numbers for everyone (if you are infact town, which is kinda hilarious because when you give yourself a given that you are town anyone can make up those numbers). I had a math teacher once tell me something that I think you might enjoy. He said "When you make up your own rules for math it becomes infinitely easier, but that does not mean it is correct." you cannot quantify what is considered "content" because the term is subjective in nature rather than concrete. You said yourself that this game is based on no clues so if that is true then your claim that there is even such thing as optimal play gets thrown out the window. Anyway I don't think you can fake this as scum since iirc people would know your meta so the only one you would be deceiving is me. Carry over? Not simplify? I didn't simplify anything nor did I make up any rules. What? My math is legit, and yes I am working off of the knowledge that I myself am not scum. You are correct in saying that this math applies to anyone currently in the game, which is exactly why you are a worthwhile vote because unlike others your posting habits are inconsistent and your voting is intentionally misleading. If on Day 1 all we are doing is taking a stab in the dark, I'd rather face towards the one light source I do see. As you said and I said before you, I cannot quantify content because it is subjective. However, I can make a damn good case if need be. There may be optimal play here, but there is certainly sub-par play. I don't think anyone "knows my meta" because I haven't played mafia in 8 years, so unless someone does a very thorough investigation of my posts when I was 18 years old and finds some parallels that I would still consequently dismiss as pure imagination, I am going to say that your opinions on my alignment are moot, especially given that you contradict yourself within 2 posts. | ||

At this point, you are right in implying that this will not go any further, so let's allow some people to catch up with this line of discussion. Cheers. | ||

Probably because of analytic facility for a bot or something. Regardless, it's a rule so you should follow it or risk looking even more suspect because of the fact that you refuse to follow basic guidelines for play. | ||

I was simply pursuing what I find to be a legitimate lead, which has led me to construct the following points on why I believe QT is a good vote for Day 1:: 1. QT's posts, on average, lack substance (failing to answer questions, using memes as answers, dodgy responses in general, no analysis presented to substantiate claims). 2. QT voted for one person, then claimed to vote for another in this thread while making a vote post in the voting thread that did not corroborate his verbal stance, all while not even using the proper format for unvoting so therefore there is a strong possibility that he is intentionally misleading people. There are more but I don't want to be too long-winded yet again. | ||

He's not undermining anyone, confusing anyone, he's just playing the game. Either call him scum or call him town, but don't say you'd lynch him if he's town because that's totally backwards. Let me be clear, I have the greatest suspicion of him being scum of anyone else in the thread so far, that is the main reason for my vote. However, my argument is that even if he flips town, then he was behaving in a way that is counterproductive to the town. Namely, he makes unsubstantiated reads, fake votes in this thread, and dodges questions. Thus, I''m doubly willing to take the chance on a Day 1 read and voted for him.

Also, in newbie games, scum is lynched 16% of the time on D1 when random lynching would lynch scum 25% of the time (source: the database). I would rather lynch someone who is 50/50 inactive townie / scum than someone who is 50/50 active townie / scum. Sqrtofneg1 is perhaps the worst of the lurkers to lynch now that he is getting a replacement, but I would like to lynch someone inactive today. This makes sense, and if I didn't have my strong suspicions, I would agree with this plan. However, it is interesting for me to note how early people voted for sqrtofneg1 even though there were other inactives. So, you joined the vote against sqrtofneg1 to join QuickTwist and kushmountains, tying him for votes with QuickTwist. Also interesting. | ||

Your stance on Tictock makes sense. Still fine with a MoosyDoosy or a policy lynch. I caught some threads here where MoosyDoosy is playing a similar style as he does now. However, if QT is a detriment to town, why isn't moosy? In your eyes, he should be, right? That's quite the inconsistency. You never asked me for my read on MoosyDoosy so I couldn't have been inconsistent, but since we're on the topic I do find his posting habits to be wildly inconsistent themselves. He hasn't been very active despite answering what felt like the first 10 posts in Day 1 all in 1 megapost. The major difference between Moosy and QuickTwist is that QuickTwist, as I say time and again, has been dodgy and intentionally misleading town. That is why he takes priority over Moosy for today's lynch. | ||

1. I think that a lot of people in this thread are grasping at straws right now, which is understandable because there isn't much to go off of on Day 1. I don't see any utterly clear alliances here as of yet. It seems like a lot of A thinks B is scum who thinks C is scum who thinks D is scum who thinks A is scum, or something of the like. 2. Given the seemingly inconclusive finger-pointing patters so far, we will have to wait to see the results of the lynch and who voted for whom as our next indicator. As of right now, if my hypothesis is correct and QT is scum, then the people who voted alongside him without much early justification would be kushmountains and Tumblewood, who have not changed their vote despite the player being changed out and I found their arguments for removing sqrt to be weak in the first place (inactivity plynch 2 hours into the game, if I recall correctly? on top of that, other people were just as inactive). This is the most alliance-y thing I can point at so far, but it's too early for me to concretely say I feel that they are scum. 3. Following this line of logic, I don't feel that the votes/inclinations on QT are indicative of a scum alliance because most people have shown their own reasons for voting for QT, most of which are valid, or at least more valid in my eyes than a Scott lynch. Of course, if QT flips town it is possible that one or two scum bandwagoned in order to ensure that he wins over Scott in the last voting push, but it will be hard to tell who. It's simply too early to speculate in specific terms about who would be scum or not in this hypothetical scenario, so I will wait until I see all of the votes and their results. 4. I haven't gotten a strong read on anyone, which is probably because I'm newbie. So far my "could be scum" list is: 1. Kushmountains 2. Tumblewood 3. Superbia (weak read on this, don't have much certainty at all) 4. Fecalfeast (too absent, regardless of whatever excuses he may have) and of course QT. Everyone else, as far as I can tell, is townie. Scott can be thrown up there as well for his relative inactivity but I don't think it's fair to judge as quickly because he only learned he was in the game less than 24 hours ago. | ||

I guess I will summarize these as largely gutreads. I don't think I'm as good at reading town as I am inclined to read scum, perhaps because I am prioritizing finding scum as opposed to finding town, which when I put it this way sounds like a strategy with some holes in it haha. | ||

The majority of the town has read me as town, and for some that was a choice between scumreading me or you. I will concede that your posting has definitely improved since the first 24 hours. I see what you mean by confirmation bias now more clearly. I will justify by saying it is akin to how one approaches science: you formulate a hypothesis, run a test, gather some data, try to ascertain a conclusion. Then you present your article for peer review. So far peer review has corroborated my initial findings. The initial results will be put to the test after we see the flop. Although you claimed Blue PR since the first minutes of the game, which could've meant anything since you were shitposting a lot in that time, this is the first time you've claimed VT. MoosyDoosy also claimed VT, if I'm correct in assuming VT = Veteran, but his posting has been inconsistent too. I'm not saying this to make any sort of point, just doing stream of consciousness at the moment. I don't think it'd be wise of you to claim Blue PR if you actually were a Blue PR in the first minutes of the game, because scum would know that you are not scum, and thus when both the Day 1 lynch and the first scum kill are relative stabs in the dark, this seems like a poor strategy because it paints a target on your back. Of course, this could backfire and cause us to do scum's work for them, but I believe that there is no stronger case right now for anyone else and thus I will maintain my vote for you. | ||

You are lynching the most worthless role there is in this game based on confirmation bias. People should take a really good look at you tomorrow. Yea, I made that mistake, again (posted this on the previous page), please disregard that last line of reasoning. However, this does not make the rest of the post "OMG so wrong." I stand by it. If you're saying the truth and you flip VT tomorrow, that would be unfortunate but not as bad as you being a blue PR, so that's taken a load off my shoulders ^^ If you're lying and you're scum, then that would be great and I'd be a boss. I'm liking this scenario. | ||

Pregame he seemed very excited but ingame he hasn't been pro-active except for a shitty plynch push on scott which ended up being nothing. ^ I also noticed this discrepancy. He has posted some excuses like driving and being off work, and while I don't want to outright say he's lying, it's still a discrepancy. Scumread on Superbia diminishes slightly. | ||

It's detrimental to town to so consistently lynch town when you're around. | ||

Someone already mentioned that if he flips town, they will think I am scum.

My decision was made a long time ago, I was the first vote on QT. Things that have been said/done that could have changed my vote, but did not, and why: 1. QT's posting quality improved. This did not change my vote because I saw it as too little too late, and he still spent the majority of his posts arguing with me and his contributions on other reads were few and weak. 2. QT claimed VT. He earlier claimed blue PR so I didn't give much weight to his new claim. 3. QT acted desperately in his defense, getting madbro. When I was scum, I did the same thing, so I went on personal experience here. 4. I didn't see any better choices based on their post content, and thus disregarded afkers. | ||

My other slight suspicion towards Superbia has been diminishing over time, which could be just good play or more content showing the truth. I can't ascertain which it is so for now I will have to just observe future posts. Fecalfeast has been more active recently, so there goes the last scum-lean I had from seven hours ago. In short, I am somewhat confused and need some time to organize my thoughts and re-read some logs in order to see who I think may be scummy. In the meantime, I don't agree that we shouldn't concern ourselves about mod actions. Reason being is unless something new comes up, I think blkcoffee is the logical policy lynch. Whether he receives a warning or a ban from the game and whether his activity will consequently increase will obviously affect our need for a policy lynch. I also asked the question earlier in green text, but received no answer, so I will do so again at the end of this post. So, pending mod response, I would currently aim for blkcoffee. | ||

It would suck really hard if I advocate for the lynching of yet another green townie and they get lynched, giving scum another free kill, not to mention it'd make me doubly suspect, but right now that's the only thing that sticks out to me. You do have a solid point about the fact that it would screw over the smaller team big time.

1. I find FecalFeast the most suspicious now in my eyes. My reasoning is this: FF reads EC town FF reads EC town FF support Jealous read QT scum FF defends QT, questions Jealous FF switches vote to kush, as per Superbia FF defends EC FF questions BTDT, defends Jealous FF softreads Moosy, Skynx, Jealous, BTDT scum In the chronological order of reads above, he flips his stance on QT around the time when it is clear that QT is going to be lynched, he switches his vote to kush after Superbia does, possibly giving him a convenient out? He then doesn't even read him as scum verbally. He also seems to be overly defensive/supportive of EC. 2. I need to do further analysis on EC to see if there is a connection there. I don't think Superbia is implicated here, although he could be. 3. I am going to stick to my stance on TT and Skynx as I haven't seen any suspicious behavior from them and do enjoy their analysis. I am also leaning town on Tumblewood. 4. BC and Scott really haven't contributed much of anything. 5. MoosyDoosy's gameplay is completely nonsensical. | ||

Unless there are some points of yours that I've missed while being busy today, I'd say that the hole in the above logic is that it would be incredibly dumb to go so hard after someone I know is a newbie townie who is just spamming if I really was mafia. Of course, you may think I'm incredibly dumb like kush seems to so that could be a contributing reason. I know that your read is wrong but I also know why you made it, and you don't seem vehement in its pursuit so I don't think of it as a scum thing to do. Looking at another subject, if this Skynx bandwagon comes to fruition, it would be really interesting to see who was on it post-flop. | ||

The datadump wasn't just for my benefit, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it or made it presentable. I did that so that others could have a tool to use if they want to. I was actually the only person to respond to, I believe Tictock and FecalFeast, who asked for an explanation on people's votes on QT. I posted my reasoning behind it. I don't see a point to being emotional about it, it was a Day 1 lynch and a bad misread and I'm a newbie. I did feel a slight apprehension at first after the flop because people might misread me as a result of it, but I figured come what may I will let my posts and reasoning speak for themselves. The way I see it, there is no reason to be emotional because I'm not scum and therefore I view it as a learning experience instead. This is part of the reason why I don't want to submit any reads right now and wait until more posts are made. I took a very active role on Day 1, somewhat so on Night 1, and made a few mistakes, so I think it's time for me to say less and read more. | ||

It's possible but I wouldn't say it's very likely. QT was in the lead for bans after Tictock voted for him and never left that position. At the time, the only person who was in contention with him was Scott. Even if three people switched their vote last second for kush, for example, QT would still be lynched even if the original 3 people who voted for QT. Everyone who piled on afterwards - is it really ensuring the lynch? How much insurance did they really think they needed? While statistically speaking is certainly possible that a mafia is on that list, it's hard for me to say who it may be. I think we can remove Scott from suspicion (here, at least) because he was voting to keep himself in the game should people switch their votes onto him. It would be more interesting if Skynx and Tictock saw my vehemence and used that as a springboard to start the bandwagon. Seeing as people seem inclined to vote Skynx, this is why I would rather see the flop after Day 2 before making any concrete arguments. | ||

I can see the logic behind that. Looking back on the vote thread, MoosyDoosy voted QT and unvoted @ 19:13/19:17 respectively (June 3rd) but I think we can attribute that to his trolly nature. I vote 22:15 CDT. Skynx votes 07:15 CDT, June 4th. Tictock is the immediate next vote at 12:33 CDT, putting QT at first. EC votes 14:11 CDT, June 5th. Scott votes 16:05 CDT. EC revotes to make sure formatting is correct 16:37 CDT. MoosyDoosy revotes 17:34 CDT. Tictock switches vote to BTDT at 18:56 CDT. How much can we read into QT's last post stating that Tictock was both the person who pushed QT into the forefront and then abandoned ship? | ||

That post where he game QT a pass for being active but then scumread jealous without mentioning his activity is still in my mind But how would that make sense for a scum strategy? The only plot that would make sense to me is that he knew QT would be lynched (should verify timestamp on this post vs. vote count at the time?), which is good for scum, so he wanted to bring me down once QT flipped town because I'd be seen as the major instigator of the movement, which is good for scum because I am town. This actually makes sense, now that I think about it. However, it depends on the timestamp. I can't check it right now and I'll be home in a few hours but if someone can do that now it would give more credit to FF's theory, imo. | ||

That's kind of my point in him townreading QT when they know he is town, but wouldn't it make sense for him to throw doubts on my participation in QT's lynching to get me lynched as a reactive measure in Day 2 even though I am town? I don't see why scum wouldn't enact that plot, or at least have one of them do so. At the time of my compiling the data on page 55 if I recall correctly, I was one of the most scumread players in the game. Even though Skynx seems to be up for lynching based on the posts of Night/Day 2, I can't help but feel that I was also cast in a bad light and this would be advantageous to scum. | ||

After missing the mark fairly badly D1 we need to pick this game up. I'm still not sure. I was going to see how the other votes and reads pan out as we approach the deadline, because apparently a lot of stuff happens then. This game has been confusing in general - Skynx has had the strongest scumread bandwagon, whereas kush has had the strongest lynch vote bandwagon, simply wtf? I like how you said "who do you think we should lynch today" as if I actually am town leader. I probably have less of a clue about what is going on than any of you. Based on what my vague retrospect ("gut") without going in-depth on any filters today, I would say that EC, BTDT, kush are all viable options, in decreasing order, with Scott being a potential mystery factor because so far none of his posts have struck me as very scummy but he also hasn't posted much so I can't say for certain. | ||

You suggested that you enjoy having a role with some power, have you ever played in a game where everyone has some role/ability? If not, does it sound appealing? It's incredibly different and incredibly difficult. The game is nothing like it was 2008, or at least like those first few were. As a result, neither are the conversations nor the reads. I would have to say I'm struggling pretty damn hard. In the past you could easily justify your case against someone and have solid ground to push on, and thus votes and flips were more pivotal. Also, PMs were allowed, if I recall correctly. If there was someone you were certain was town or a blue PR, you could test them via PM. You could also PM people you trusted if you had a PR. For example, if a detective finds out someone is town or medic, they can coordinate privately, thus using their roles more effectively. In short, this is a completely different monster. I hope that the game gets easier as we get more votes/flips, but as of right now I'm pretty lost. In my past two games I was bodyguard and mafia respectively, so I was going off experience here. I feel that it gives added depth to the game because you can make decisions that affect the game behind the curtains and without people knowing who made those actions. However, as I mentioned in the post you are referring to, I was scared to jump into a PR and potentially fuck up really badly. I screwed up pretty hard as mafia in my second game if memory serves correct (might not be as obvious in the filter but I remember Ace or MTF or whoever was mafia yelling at me). That stuck in my mind. My bad read on QT is further evidence of that, as well as 2 or 3 slip-ups on simple things like what VT stands for and briefly pursuing something from the host's Night post. I'm content with my role. I don't think I've ever played in a game like that. Would I want to? I think it would definitely be interesting, but also a lot more convoluted and high-stakes. It would depend on what the rules and roles are. By the way, I enjoyed your questions posted, I thought that some of them were very poignant. | ||

I think the lack of defense and more importantly the lack of anything from Kush means I'm ok with him being the lynch. I know he posted that he was gunna be low effort in pre-game, but this is like no-effort. I'm kinda feeling like Emp and Skynx are bad lynches today kus they are actually contributing at a fairly consistant level. Still unsure about Skynx though with this recent "lets kill big targets and not scott!" "Big targets are people like scott, BtDt..." I'm liking Jealous less, partially just for contributing a lot less today. Mostly because he made a big deal about our Shennanies D1 and today has basically refused to discuss reads. The 180 there doesn't track very well for me because he's going against what was apparently his idea of how the game should be played. I had company over yesterday and in general the weekdays are much busier for me than the weekends, where I work from home on the computer on my own time. However, it's true that I haven't discussed my reads (of which I only briefly mentioned 3) because frankly I'm not certain at all on them. I was asked the question, so I had to oblige, but the follow-up question I didn't have a good response for prepared. As I said then, they were "gut" reads based on my "feel" for their posting habits and style. I'll discuss my stance on people briefly right now: 1) Emperorchampion - Yesterday I was remembering some posts that rubbed me the wrong way, but his posting since then has done a little to alleviate that. In general I found his posting to be on the light side but still more than most others in terms of content and conclusions. I think there were inconsistencies I didn't like and some conclusions that I didn't agree with, hence my lean earlier. 2) Skynx - I like the way he posts and deducts, would not want to vote against him. Of course, he could just be scum that is posting well, but I can't know which it is so I'm okay with him for now simply based on quality of content. 3) QuickTwist Lynched Day 1, Senator 4)Scott31337 - Generally AFK, the few posts he has made have been fairly plain and non-indicative but is still one of the least active players and I don't like that. 5) blkcoffee - Replacement of modkill pending, on top of that he has submitted no reads at all (as per my chart) and has generally been very low-impact. Can't read him but can't support keeping him either. 6) Jealous - I'm town. 1) beentheredonethat - I've seen people raising questions about his scumminess and worth to the game; so far I haven't seen much to contradict what others have said but have not personally paid much attention to him either way, or at least he hasn't stuck out much. 2) Tumblewood Killed Night 1, Roman Senator 3) MooooooosyDooooosy - Day 1 I did not like his posting and misdirection via trolling one bit. However, his post quality has improved. It's hard to get a read on him but I like how he's been posting recently. Maybe it's just because I'm not familiar with TL Mafia and people's mannerisms. 4) nnn_thekushmountians - To be completely fair, I've had a bad feeling about his posts since even the pre-game so I might be biased in thinking that he may be scum. However, others have pointed irregularities in his posting habits. Does he not work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays either? There have been a few posts where he seemed to be trolling kinda like Moosy, which I don't like. 5) Superbia - Generally seems like a positive force in the game so far, is very active, asks good questions and thus generates content. I'm okay with keeping him around. 6) FecalFeast - I've taken back what I was thinking earlier because I have a new approach to the game thanks to my data, and thus I see him as null for now. 7)Tiktock - I'm sticking to my read that you are town for now, mostly because I feel your posts have content, thought, and provoke others to generate content as well, which is good. | ||

Yet none of his actions or posts since that reflect those views. If kush flips scum I think Jealous should be the lynch tomorrow. This was the idea - "shenannis" or whatever seem to be popular. I would make the vote a closer contest, potentially drawing more votes to EC. Depending on the flop, these votes would be suspect. I wait until the last second to switch to kush, effectively giving my vote double the strength in this scenario. | ||

Can I get some thoughts from everyone? As in, what do you think of how the last two days went and what can be done better? For the town to succeed, something has to change about how we operate. I'm not experienced enough what that change should be, but as it is going now, we will be down 4 townies in 2 day/nights. That makes us 6 to 3 come Day 3, if we assume that a replacement will be made for BC. That's not a good place to be in. | ||

If two blues claim and nobody counterclaims (either with a third blue role or the same as one of the claimers) we can assume that both blue roles are town eliminating two people from the lynch pool and effectively controlling the nightkills from mafia. Claim wars is when mafia decides to risk counterclaiming with hopes of getting the blue role(s) lynched first. In the situation we are in it is fairly likely mafia will try to counter in this way as a failed counterclaim(mafia claimer is lynched) mafia still has two members. That being said I think mafia has been sitting pretty all game and we need to start looking into people who seem towny. Why would two people claiming be any less suspect than one person claiming? They could both be lying. Say PR1 claims, PR2 claims, but PR1 actually belongs to someone else. Then "claim wars" start where the actual PR1 claimed after the fake PR1 and how would we know the difference? There is no tangible way, as far as I see it. I almost want to say that it is a ploy by Superbia and EC to expose the influential PRs, because scum would be the only ones that know whether or not the person claiming is scum or not and thus would be much more valuable information to them than the town. However, I will wait to hear a more detailed explanation from Superbia and EC. | ||

Vet - No reason for them come out I think. That would just make scum's job that much easier by roleblocking and killing him when he is one of the only potential obstacles to their victory. Doc - Definitely no reason for them to come out. Cop - Cop needs to come out and give what his reads so far have been, unless they are one of the above two. If they are one of the above two, they should just say that person was VT. That way, scum won't know if the actual PR are in the cop's reads or outside them, effectively giving them nothing. Vigilante - I don't see a need for them to come out, and it would be nice to potentially coordinate as a town both a lynch and vigi kill. If the kill doesn't happen, then we know there is no vigi. So far there haven't been any additional kills, so it is either a very reserved vigi or he doesn't exist. I'm leaning towards the latter. Thoughts? | ||

1. Moosy is cop, I am town, BTDT is scum. 2. Moosy is scum, I am town and he is saying this because a. he knows it to be true and b. it gives his claim traction, BTDT is town. However, if another cop appears, things could get interesting. 3. Moosy is scum, I am scum, BTDT is town. Since I know that I'm town, it's between 1 and 2 for me. Unless another cop speaks up or two more roles do, which unfortunately I think would be unwise, it's relatively impossible to verify or contradict Moosy's claims imo. I honestly pray that there isn't a scenario where we have 1 vet, 1 medic, and Moosy claiming a non-extant cop role. That would suck. | ||

I see, thank you. Assuming you survive this coming night cycle, who would you read tonight? | ||

Assuming your claim is true (and I'm thinking it's good) BtDt should be lynched, but if we just pile on him then today will be super boring and we will loose much chance to get info. Well, if we bandwagon BTDT and no one says anything, wouldn't that be hella suspect? If scum doesn't both to CC or to otherwise question Moosy, that would mean that Moosy is the actual scum. Perhaps we should all jump on BTDT and see what happens? | ||

Between the two of us, either you presented the information incorrectly or I misunderstood it in our common language or I simply don't get the semantics. I don't know what dice rolling up is. I don't get your breakdown of tables and what each number value signifies for each of the six dice. Perhaps I misunderstood the OP, but in order for me to trust your absolute logic on the fact that BTDT is scum and Moosy is not, you will have to explain with more clarity, "Explain Like I'm 5," if you would. As of now, it seems foolhardy to trust your word without understanding your rationale, because if you and Moosy are in cohorts as scum, then town is doomed. It is an all-or-nothing situation, and as such I feel that if you're town you owe the newbs and town an explanation that is more coherent. | ||

So tables go 0->1->2->3->0. Or we can say EVEN->UNEVEN->EVEN->UNEVEN->EVEN->... This is part 1. Now we tie each table's value to their respective role: Table T1: 0: GF, 1 framer, 2 GF, ...etc. OR: T1: Even: GF, Uneven: Framer T2: Even: Vigi, Uneven: Cop T3: Even: Vet, Uneven: Doc This is part 2. Now when we divide 6 increments over these tables, everything being uneven is impossible. Why? Two answers: Answer 1 is expanded: In order to reach everything as uneven, we need to increment all 3 tables by 1, which leaves us with 3 increments (dice rolls) left. But how do we divide the remaining 3? If we increase a table by 1, it reaches even. If we increase a table by 2, we are left with 1. Finally, if we increase a table with 3 it becomes even. As such, it is impossible to reach this result. Answer 2 is reversed. Mathematically we know that an uneven number of elements of all uneven numbers results in an uneven number when added up (try it out). The same way that an even number of uneven numbers always results in an even number when added up. As such, The addition of 3 (number of tables) elements all being uneven can never be 6 (an even number). Correct me if I'm wrong, but if there are 6 dice rolls for 3 tables, could the results not be 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, all of which are uneven and equal 7? Am I totally braindead about this system??? | ||

As I explained above, roleblocker's last remaining use is to make sure I get killed in one night, which is not a relevant metric if we didn't overcome this hurdle today. I've effectively become a VT, but if my assumptions are correct and you didn't play an insane long-con, then Moosy, yourself, and I are all town.

How is mafia not killing this guy? Points against Moosy: why exactly did he check me? He townread me before. So why say I am scum? Because my activity Level is low enough to make me an easy target. Also note that there are a lot of people that seem just fine doing - nothing. Those people are to blame once I flip. Again, I am the doctor. Moosy is not the cop. In a setup based on dies, Two protective roles are possible. Especially since this game's hosting has been rather slow and lackluster, no offense. If this is the case, the only explanation is that the game was set up incorrectly, and then we've all been playing in a dream world that was actually a nightmare. | ||

In the meantime, I will point out that for a scummy Superbia to have thrown BTDT under the bus would not make any sense because 1. he did it before there was any apparent threat to scum, 2. scum had a guaranteed win with a mislynch so why lynch a scum that day. I don't think it makes sense for him to scrap all chances for an immediate victory in hopes of a more assured ultra-lategame victory. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Skynx] + I went into this expecting his posts to be more scummy than they were.

He was pretty happy on D1/D2 just sitting back enjoying town kill eachother as his filter didn't even fill a single page. He is experienced so I would expect him to at least chat a bit to get some town credit. This makes him unreadable and safe while he avoids any contributions to town. Mind you he was tied at 3 votes to QT for a long while. So he posts this list as a summary of his thoughts: So this is a shady read which can go both ways. Thinks I'm suspicious from my last post but likes my stlye? lol the irony This imo is a giveaway. While he's right about btdt's style his only mention of btdt returns at Moosy's claim. TT & FF tried shennanies on him, kush sr'd him and Scott was absent from the discussion. He doesn't really pushes his questions either: Not entirely scummy but still: Anyway, his sudden activity peak after a scum flip makes me wonder if it's just to take the heat off himself. He's also ready to jump on btdt without hesitation because he knows the real deal and it's inevitable at this point + it will give him town credit. So he shuts down any other argument: I'm not even 1 bit worried hihi + Show Spoiler + On June 10 2016 04:16 Skynx wrote: I agree with this, how is claiming blue beneficial to town? Let's say actual cop claims and 1 scum claims cop as well now mafia has a nk target. If that person was lying then the actual cop now has to suspect of another person which is actually town lol Also vet should never claim he doesn't get anything out of it other than having RB'd ez pz. They give me mixed feelings. The first one is clearly a defensive counter-attack against scott, which actually makes sense. The end refers to one of the posts I read as more suspect at the time, "Please please someone claim cop." At first I didn't understand why he wanted to seed more confusion into the situation, but I think I've figured out its true meaning: if someone claimed cop in order to CC Moosy, they would be just as dead as BtDt after BtDt flipped red. With this in mind, I don't think this post actually scared anyone into not claiming, and if Skynx was scum, he could have said something privately to the team in order to achieve the same goal without the potentially suspicious ploy. I would rate his contributions to the discussion and exploration of leads to be on the lower side, but that is partially hampered by the fact that he hasn't been as consistently active as some and that his reads on the first two days were wrong. I had the same reads, so I have a hard time holding that against someone, but it still needs to be noted. + Show Spoiler [scott31337] + On June 07 2016 07:34 scott31337 wrote: Allright, I got some time to look over things - 1) Emperorchampion - this guy seems like newb town with some of his responses - 2) Skynx -He made a "case" on Quicktwist, which I am unsure new mafia would do - most are scared to stick out lilke that - but then also his last post is "Strategic lurking" so....

Although he read a scumteam at the end, I think that he did try to scratch nearly everyone's back by claiming nearly everyone town. However, he does bring that up in his post as well. Is that so that it would seem less suspicious, or is it honest acknowledgement of the fact that his reads are weak?

This seems kinda low-effort and this was posted after kush was lynched - why raise these worries now and not the day before, as he says fecal did? It seems like he is trying to give out town vibes with a post like this. Given my reasoning above @ Skynx, this seems almost like an overreaction, unless scott also misunderstood the post like I did first/didn't think it through. However, now I'm wondering why Skynx didn't post something trying to clarify it? Hm -_-; This isn't much of a counter-argument but he does produce a point - why is TT throwing Super on a scum team when Super's analysis is the one that proved Moosy as cop and BtDt as a fake CC?

I completely misunderstood Skynx's post and he never bothered to properly explain it anyway. This is a pretty tricky situation and I'd like some feedback on this from others, especially Scott/Skynx.

I'm really not a fan of this opening because he's useing a one line rule to throw out very unfounded reads. There is also no indication that he is actually trying to apply the rule he's using here. "Town likes clarity" into "sounds towny" or "keeps things clean". I really have a hard time understanding why Super would have been the most scummy based on the criteria of contentless posts as well. This also bugged me Really odd dodgy answer after he very clearly gave QT a townread in his open (or at least a lean). I also find it pretty interesting how he refines his read of QT but his read on Super remains static. Since I'm finding QT fairly scummy myself I tend to agree with Skynx's little case on him, but I'm also aware that a fair few of his points were just parroting what had been mentioned already. I might be pretty fine with lynching Skynx today. Disclaimer: This post was written over a much longer period of time than it should have. There has been a random bit of roommate drama over that past hour so I've been a little distracted while trying to put my thoughts together. I'm gunna take a bit to resolve things then I'll do my little skim-over/catch-up and see how things feel as we are getting into EoD here. On June 06 2016 05:08 Tictock wrote: I kinda agree, the general flow of the game and how the votes are going seem to signal a very low key scum team that is probably not up for lynch atm. QT is also giving me vibes that he's not really to concerned with the pressure atm which isn't really in line with a try-hard scum playing the activity game. I'm wondering if he's a player more like Moosy who's play can be pretty questionable and is lynchbait. While he's kinda all over the place and I have a hard time tracking much line of thought he is being pretty consistent about putting stuff out there. Is your desire to lynch kush based on meta, or is it more policy due to him being pretty lackluster and only pushing a plynch himself? I think I might be more keen on lynching Skynx myself. Although he claims that this was written over a long time, I believe this is when the QT wagon was in full effect, so his targetting Skynx here might not be much of an indicator of anything, but I'll include it as Note 5.

Of the people voting QT I thought Skynx, Emp, and to a lesser extent Moosy were the weakest votes on him. Skynx stood out to me because he initially read QT as town but then got pressured a little for that read and ended up swapping his read and made that case on QT. Case felt somewhat contrived (especially when it wasn't his initial thinking on QT and idk why you case someone like that when other people were clearly of similar opinions). BtDt has made a couple of big posts but he focused pretty hard on Moosy without trying to convince anyone of his read or anything and I think he's on Scott now too which just seems like picking out easy/low impact targets to me. Emp and Kush both have some townie posts but the focus feels a little off. With Kush I get this sense of his town game but much more reserved.

I didn't quote some of Skynx's posts that would apply to this list because I only had the thought while reading scott but they are in his filter. Let's look at the possibilities, if we take defense/scumread at face value. The note numbers are largely in sequential order with how I found them if you read the above spoilers from top to bottom Scott / EC = Not likely as per Note 1 under my Scott analysis, although later he does suggest him in Note 2. EC does target Scott to some degree in Note 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, Scott / Skynx = Not likely because Scott has been scumreading Skynx into the lategame. Scott / TT = Possible, has been defending him. Note 4 vice-versa. However, TT turns it around in Note 6, Note 8, Note 9. Scott right now has his vote to TT in a relatively high-stakes situation so I don't think it's likely he would take that risk, but he could shennanie. EC / Skynx = Possible, Skynx posted a fair amount of stuff townreading EC in the early stages of the game. However, EC targets Skynx in Note 11, 12. Then defends him again in Note 13? However, goes back to putting him at top of the list in Note 20. EC / TT = Note 3; TT against EC. Note 7. Note 8. Note 10. EC softly defends TT in Note 14, 15. Again in 19. TT / Skynx = I find this one highly unlikely because Skynx spent a lot of posts questioning TT and questioning other people's reads of TT as town. Skynx also defends BtDT as "not a big target," even does it as a separate post after-thought. Note 5 had TT scumreading Skynx. Note 6. I need to see this post in post form before I can form further analysis. | ||

Going based off this, and giving more weight to later notes (damn, wish I came up with a better system like SCOTT1, SCOTT2, etc.): Scott/EC: Not likely. Scott/Skynx: Not likely. Scott/TT: Not likely. EC/Skynx: EC's damnation of Skynx hasn't been very vocal but it is his most recent. Gonna leave this one for now - it could be that EC is hedging his bets against an evident Skynx bandwagon? Would look suspect if he is the only one defending him. EC/TT: EC has seemed to defend TT while TT targets EC. I don't know what to make of this except that maybe it is again EC trying to make an ally/appear townie? TT/Skynx: Highly unlikely. Altogether it seems like the most likely pairing is EC/Skynx, however EC is the one I am more certain of between the two. I welcome outside thoughts on this. | ||

1. Moosy claims dtec, me town, BtDt scum. 2. BtDt counterclaims as doc either a. without consulting his scum teammates, because if Superbia was scum he would tell him that is mathematically impossible and an unnecessary risk or b. at the insistance of Superbia 3. Superbia effectively proves BtDt is scum, and I seal the deal by claiming 4. BtDt then spends an unprecedented (for him) level of effort in order to defend himself 5. BtDt gets lynched, Town lives for another day when scum could have won on that day. 6. Superbia is scum and got himself a ton of town cred I mean, I see where you're going with this, but isn't this mad convoluted and an unnecessary risk? They didn't even wait for any real wagon to start on BtDt. | ||

This is a good point, but you have to consider that yesterday's lynch vote was decided pretty early on because of input from me and you. The window for scott to give much of a shit was pretty brief, partially because I didn't wait long enough to claim and that's my bad. | ||

On June 15 2016 02:15 Superbia wrote: The reason I feel EC is town is because essentially all possible scum on the kush train got their vote in early&safe with a non-reason. He was the easier push so mafia probably didn't give a shit about the lynch either way. One day two, the votes were tied 4/3 Kush/EC after I voted. Next to vote was Scott, who made it 4/4. That is when EC switched to kush to make it 5/4, which potentially means nothing because it could be him saving his hide, or it could mean everything if he is scum and both remaining scum had already voted for kush so scum had no more votes to swing on. At that time, kush still hadn't switched his vote to EC to make it 5/5 and blkcoffee was still a variable that could have presented itself. That's why I strongly believe that between EC/Skynx/TT we will find our last two scum, but out of those 3 the most evident are EC/Skynx. Skynx has provided a lot of content these past few pages, which is nice, but while reading it almost felt like he was reaching for a dreamworld of some sort, like building a card castle to the moon. Also, it was relatively uncharacteristic of his prior posting habits. It's nice to see him make a late push like this and I will relook it before I leave for class. | ||

Then when tumble did the same to you, you said "now maf will push me if you die during the night", trying to shut down anything ahead of time (I presume). I wifom'd over this for a day basically, and came to the conclusion that it doesn't make sense as mafia to push someone during the night, then call someone else out for doing the exact same thing while putting yourself in the line of fire. This was what I needed to deal with, because otherwise I think throughout the game we have had a very similar view on on things. And now, I can't imagine a world where Super is mafia due to day 3, so I feel that my read has been pretty justified. I never said this. Never said that either. I agree with you that Super isn't scum, but the only one pushing the contrary is TT. | ||

1. Get rid of Superbia, who is of greater potential value to town based on reads/experience. 2. Get rid of me, who has a PR. At this point, it will never hurt them to just RB me and kill me. I am the equivalent of a VT at this point. (If I understand the math correctly and they do have a RB). 3. Get rid of Scott, who just got major town cred for following me in the lynching of a scum and will likely follow whoever is the most town come D5. In effect, he will probably follow either me or Superbia. 4. Get rid of whoever is not scum between Skynx/TT, which in my opinion would be stupid but there is no reason for anyone in here to suspect any besides these two. However, scum could spin some crazy super-believable shit. These are in order of likeliness from my perspective. Logic should dictate (if Superbia can confirm that this is mathematically sound) that if 2 happes, a person who is essentially a VT because the last remaining scum is a RB, gets NK'd then I would place my bets on Superbia or someone who is trying to frame Superbia. 3 or 4 is retarded. I tried to conjecture it, but there is really nothing I can foresee that creates a favorable scenario for scum if 3/4 happens besides intentional confusion. If 3/4 happens, I would be likely to suspect Superbia as well. But now that I've posted this, would this be bait for framing Superbia? WIFOM. I feel like something I posted here must have some value haha. | ||

Although, it is still possible that Skynx made TT shenannying pointless and thus TT just decided to stay on EC. Similarly, it is possible that Skynx knew that there was no way he could change the outcome of the votes so he went on EC despite them both being scum. I am going to say the second scenario is more likely. | ||

What bothers me about this is that I doubt BtDt made a claim like that without conferring with his scum colleagues, so this would mean that Superbia would have to have told BtDt to claim an impossible role, reveal that it was impossible to curry favor, have BtDt continue to incriminate himself by claiming yet another role, and thus eliminate any chance of scum winning on D3. That just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. | ||

Cheers to all players, special shout-out to Blazinghand for being a dopecity coach, all of the mods/admins in this great newbie mafia that brought me back into the game, Scott for being my right-hand-man after my claim and never doubting me, Tictock for being a solid townread for me from the start, Superbia with the mathematical wizardry, Moosy for the claim timing and overall interesting play. Greatest apologies to QuickTwist, slightly less so to kush. Props to scum for making this game a sweaty mess; even when I got the two reads that I would later know to be correct (EC + Skynx), I felt dazed and confused. Thank you for an enjoyable experience, everyone! | ||

"Moosy, super n jealous are nonfactors." I have great respect for Moosy and Super for crafting this image when in the end they proved to be two of the most pivotal town players. No shame on you Skynx, D1/2 were mad confusing, it felt like the wild wild West. But to have these two players come out in force in D3 and be "non-factors" in D2 is just so pro. | ||

Quote from mafia QT @emperorchampion after D2: "Oh man, I think that frame jealous and kill super could be a really good play, like game winning but it's a bit of a gamble. frame skynx seems like the logical options, but I'm almost inclined to go with the yolo call " This yolo had some serious potential. Respect for EC rising. "OK so this isn't final, but here are my votes for kill/cockblock if the others show up: 1) Superbia 2) TickTock 3) Jealous I kind of like super more, but I'm also thinking he might get doctored. I think TT could be dangerous since it seems like he wants both Skynx and beenthere dead. Also I like TT for kill since he is less likely to get doctored I feel. I don't like TT because it could be a huge tell." This too. As I'm working through the list I can't help but feel "Thank god I voted to lynch EC and stayed on that damn wagon when I did." Quoting shapelog: Skynx has gone to another country where QT is blocked. I told for now to commcate via PM, but I prob going to move this to another messaging program. Damn that sucks!!! Sorry I had 0 time to do anything today, just catching up. Skynx you definitely did some scummy things but you're trying hard and that's cool. People have a very hard time lynching an active player over an AFK player, even if the AFK player is less scummy than the active one. This is a real thing to remember as scum, especially on TL where last minute switch are frequent. Unless you screwed up a looooot, which isn't the case here, you always have a chance to save yourself by being super active near deadline. One thing you all are not doing are talking to each other though. Unless I missed it I don't think there is a single interaction between any two of you ? It's definitely partner indicative if one of you flips at some point Strong point from Rels ^ !! Moving onto the PM exchange between Skynx and EC, I am fully appreciating how different and difficult the game is from Mafia standpoint in this format. I somehow underestimated how much they can coordinate, and how in-depth. Reading their reads is so interesting! Quoting EC: Maybe we can push a Moosy / Scott / Jealous team. Jealous will defend himself vigorously in his own crazy way, we can swap in Moosy / Scott / Beentheredonethat as the team. I feel like Super and Tictock could buy that. Just the skeleton of some thoughts, any comments? This read is so strong. Quoting BTDT: It is. He has the potential to go nuts on us. LOL is that my rep now Going further into posts, it alarms me how bright of a target I was in D1/D2 while lynching townies and being a PR, lol. I should be more careful maybe? Quoting EC: We just need to corrupt one of Jealous and Super and we win. THAT'S WHERE YOU MESSED UP Quoting Rles: I have no idea what's going on with blkcoffee, but a modkill here would help you a lot. It means it's MYLO and town needs 3 correct lynches in a row to win. In that situation you should go hardcore bus (push another teammate as your primary target) all day and fight with him all day. That way even if he flips it's unlikely the surviving scums are lynched the next day. The important part to get town credit is not voting for a scum but fighting with him / shutting down his argument. Keep that in mind if you chose to go this way. Pardon me, but you are a slimy scummy fuck and I will never trust you after this. Quoting EC: Also we know there is a vet, I'm pretty sure it's either super or jealous. If it is jealous we are in trouble. Muahahahha Quoting BTDT: It's pretty much vanilla now, roles are useless once Moosy is dead. I feel like having been fucked over by the host though. That might very well just be salt, so I will sleep a night over it and See how i feel about the issue tomorrow. Sorry mate Quoting Rels: /m142 I will do a better post on what you can do tomorrow 'cause I'm pretty tired right now. But yeah anything to look like you're scumhunting is good. Rereading the dead scum's filter to find "partenrs" might be a good idea. Whatever you find you should present it in a way that is pushing SKynx as your primary target. There is very little chance he isn't lynched today I guess finding "partners" was a good idea for town as well, since I nailed it Quoting Rels: bro it's entirely possible something crazy happens between now and the deadline. It's only an "IF", but if you have the time you should try to post things and be townie by getting emotional little by little because remember: YOU are town, if you're mislynched the game is lost. So fight and become more and more angry and start screaming with caps when there is little time left, like 15-30 minutes before the deadline, and the lynch might go to someone else in the chaos. Or maybe not, but it worth to try Now I know what to look for >;D | ||

If you had this idea in Night 1 then yes this would be incredible TBH. As of now, I don't know whether to write it up as luck, logic, or genius for Moosy. WP all around. I know! That's the beauty of it. Being non-factors to scum while having a PR and eventually becoming pivotal in math read is amazing. Props again to Moosy and Super. | ||

I have to admit that I'm still salty, however I really want to put emphasis on Superbia's (and Jealous'!) effort that was put in. Shame we didn't get the clean victory but were reverse swept instead, but yeah that's life in ancient Rome. Cheers  It's really unfortunate how that spun out of control for scum, but at the end of the day you have to know what rules you are playing with and Superbia seems to be the only one that managed that so we were blessed to have him alive and on town's side when push came to shove. D3 was incredibly pivotal as a result of that, and you should have been more mindful of the rules, but then again I think none of us read them as closely or at least understood them to the level that Superbia did so I can't throw stones in a glass house. This was one of those "lesson" games where I learned a damn lot, the analysis of the rules being one of those lessons. | ||

Both Damdred and especially Rels would have picked up the scent of blue from miles away. If I remember correctly, I think you were called out at one point in the scum QT!

D1 lynches seem to be a toss-up in general, unless something crazy happens. | ||
