Also do note, that if I cast someone as Donald trump, that does not automatically make them mafia. None of the flavoring will have clues. Oh god x_x As if there isn't too much of this around me as it is. Oh well, fuck um. Might as well become a politician and aim for true justice! | ||

Alright I'm going to give a breakdown of my timeline so that people understand where I'm coming from more in detail I'll do the best I can because I'm still burnt out right now. I know I'm not allowed to share the specific time I got my role PM but I think it should be fine if I mention that I got my role during like a 10 hour period? That should cover all roles and therefore not be violating the rules that state that revealing the time will allow others to surmise what role I have (this is going off of the rules from the Newbie Mafia, I am going to assume that the rules in the second post have a very similar or identical clause). Jun 22 Eastern Time: 1551 Receive PM stating that the game will start on Thur Jun 23. This is perfect because I have Thur Jun 23 free. Jun 23 Eastern Time: Someone at some point pulls out and game is put on hold. I am sadness. Don't know when game will start. Tomorrow is a busy day and so is Saturday. Jun 24 Eastern Time: 0400 Go to sleep 0700 Wake up 0715 Stop hitting snooze alarm 0800 Get on bus to college campus 0820 Realize I am on the wrong bus 0830 Get off at stop and transfer to a different bus 0835 Get on transfer bus 0855 Arrive at college campus 0905 Get on bus to go on "field trip" - exploring a mine that is 1 hour away from the campus that has the world's largest collection of phosphorescent stones! 89 different kinds in a 3 mile radius. Very cool. Our tour guide was super cute. I gave her a chocolate and got a hug. Feel like a boss. 1430 Arrive at college campus 1515 Take bus back home 1600 Arrive at home 1605 Friend comes to my house 1610 Substance consumption begins. 1610 - Jun 25 0400 - Substances, soccer, videogames, music, friends, good times. Check TL at some point during these hours and find out to my horror game has started. Check my role, post apology in thread. Jun 25 Eastern time: 1100 Wake up 1105 Check TL with morning cigarette 1110 Decide the need to make this post to clarify my current situation 1130 Right now From here on out: 1130 - 1300 Clean room/house from last night debauchery 1300 - ~Jun 26 0400 People will be arriving, there will be a videogame tournament in my room, there will be alcohol, will not be substances that affect perception of reality for long periods of time. ~Jun 26 0400 I will begin to trudge through this thread in a drunken stupor and try to come up with anything that isn't retarded.

1. No one will vote for me 2. This will prevent me from unintentionally voting for a scum president simply because I am not caught up with the game If I find time to catch up and change my vote to a more appropriate candidate before the end of Day 1, I will do so. | ||

Artanis is playing the QT role and QT is judging him based on how well he plays the same scenario he was in. QT finds Artanis' defense to be insufficient and jumps on the dodgy exeunt that an exasperated Artanis made. I missed the beginnings of the fight but having read back multiple spoiler quotes it seems like a bad Town vs. Town right now. QT does seem a little overeager but it's hard to say from what I've seen that he is definitely scum. Might be Blue PR like I was last game doing the same thing to him, but would that be too transparent? Is that the facade he is pushing? I will look into it more when I can. | ||

On June 27 2016 00:08 Jean Valjean wrote: I actually kind of agree, he was specifically asked that and conjured up an answer that was surprisingly thought out given the fact that everything else in his filter has basically been him excusing himself from playing. Not necessarily the TMI part, but rather just the appearance of it. Maybe the trick just to ask him... Hey Jealous, what do you think of my spat with Artanis? And explain your thoughts on Tictock. I was already typing this out as I was working through the thread, so I will use this as an answer: Having read the past few pages that were largely Jean Vanjean pushing Artanis, playing petty games and platforming for presidency, I have to say that he has left a foul taste in my mouth. While I respect his use of language and mild tone, I have to say that he is trying too hard to push the notion that he is "smart" and that therefore the best choice for mayor. Scum can be smart too, and I think a smart scum would follow along the same lines that Jean is doing: 1. Lay relatively low at first and not draw much suspicion in either direction while the thread is in a tumultuous Day 1 state, Artanis fighting QT, lots of speculation going in every direction, etc. 2. a. Push a target that is already under pressure/suspicion from others using vague meta reads (paraphrasing what Artanis said, "If I had a dollar for every time someone scumread me for playing worse than they expect me to,"). b. Play word/mind games (and perhaps a little bit of fear tactics) to force that target to say things that Jean wants said from another mouth, giving him added external validity. "This is not incorrect, as mafia can never lynch me. My greatest strength in mafia is that I can beat people into submission with arguments and words." - Jean c. Essentially bullying him into voting for him as president. 3. Build a stronger platform for a presidential candidacy than any that has been posted so far, using big words and nice formatting to please the eye and make the reader complacently agree with the validity of his statements, in what could be considered a "last push" because of the timing (12 hours before EoD as opposed to any time prior). I find the fact that he has garnered a fair share of support and relatively little suspicion to be very alarming. Is everyone going for the textbook "he is active and pushing someone, so can't be scum?" I believe that can backfire terribly in a game such as this where that modus operandi would be an effective strategy for Mafia to get into a position of power and make the game much harder for Town to win. There have been four people whose names have been tossed around/who have been voted for/have pushed for presidency, from what I've read so far (I still have to go back to the early pages). In most recent pages, GlowingBear has been making some weak pushes for it, going by the logic of "Why SHOULDN'T I be President?" as opposed to "Here is why I SHOULD be President," which I don't like either. In short, I think that between those people (Superbia, Jean, GB, and one other person I am forgetting at the moment) there must be a scum. It is THE play of the game in this format, and for scum to sit back and allow Town to freely elect Town for both positions would be simply poor play. I find that to be less likely than scum being one of the power candidates right now. | ||

Pretty weak play so far. Has only posted one or two substantiated reads. This quote from him sums it up: "like, there's playing the game, and then there's trying to solve the game. most of us are just playing the game right now..." Don't like him so far, but not enough to say he's scum. GlowingBear: + Show Spoiler + Some decent posts questioning people. A lot of fluff otherwise. Asking to be mayor over and over without giving any reasoning as to why he should be one. Somehow has garnered a lot of support despite not being wholly convincing to me. Only one real good post explaining his reads. If he wasn't pushing so hard to be mayor without any real foundation, I would townlean on him. Jealous: + Show Spoiler + I'm VT. emperorchampion: + Show Spoiler + Very weak start to the game but made a goost post @Jean, which I liked. Overall I'm not very impressed with his play so far, but he hasn't said anything that seemed outright scummy, so I have him as null for now. Damdred: + Show Spoiler + Weak reads, hasn't contributed much of anything at all. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/510385-presidential-election-mini-mafia?page=23#459 This post is suspect because he gets on the defensive while saying that there is "no real reason" for him being scumpushed, but has done nothing in the game up to that point, which to me is reason enough. Later on he gets pressured more, and again says there is no reason to scumread him even though yet again he hasn't contribute much of anything. Gives detailed reads under pressure and they do not impress. Does reads based on "tone" and stuff like that. Tries to jump on me for a policy lynch, then posts this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/510385-presidential-election-mini-mafia?page=41#807 Trying to be objective about it, I think is a horrible post. I answered a question directly to the best of my ability and he disqualifies it because I have no experience playing with Artanis? Also uses this as an opportunity to further support his QT town read that he has been pushing from the start. A few posts later, he is convinced that I am scum and not just inactive as I said I would be, all based off of one post. Although, apparently moves me to "lower null" just a few minutes ago. Makes a late push for pardoner? On what basis? -_- Definite scum lean. MoosyDoosy: + Show Spoiler + Super trolly as always, which I hate that he can get away with every game (according to what some veterans have said so far). Impossible to read and thus not a benefit to town so far. Chezinu: + Show Spoiler + Has contributed the least of all besides MoosyDoosy. Hard to read off of that, but necessitates a mild scum lean from me. Artanis[Xp]: + Show Spoiler + A few jokey posts at the start of the game, with some weak/fake reads. I don't personally like that style of play but I wouldn't send him to the gallows for it (if I were to do so, Moosy would go first). I can actually understand his push on QT, as QT himself said he plays "oddly" and that seems to get him into trouble D1. I wish QT would play less "odd." It wouldn't cause situations like this one. QT's case was pretty weak in my opinion but because he isn't the type to let it go, Artanis was forced into a defensive position (seems like he doesn't like giving up either, even though he eventually did). Overall I'd have to say Artanis reacted pretty normally to the situation. After that, I feel that he has been active and trying to push the game forward, albeit using too much meta, history, and "tone" for my liking. His play vs. Jean and @TT, I can't entirely agree with, but he's trying. He's town to me. More to come. | ||

But it feels like you're giving them to seem town. I'm trying to do my due diligence. This is just as much for myself to organize my thoughts as I read every filter of the 40+ hours I missed so I can get get ready to analyze consequent actions with some foundation, as it is to show others that I am back from being inactive and am ready to contribute my reads to the town. I can see how this can be construed as "trying to seem town," but given how there was a push to policy lynch me I think it is more of "trying to be active and a part of the game and stimulate discussion." | ||

QuickTwist: + Show Spoiler + I like that he has a serious approach to the game, but I also feel this results in him being somewhat obtuse in the early game of D1. Probably still acclimating to TL. It might be harder to do so as a player from another site than as a total newb to Mafia like the other newbs from the Newbie game. Regardless, I definitely did not feel like his counter-attack on Artanis holds water. Also seriously dislike his tone, which he tried to excuse as being reflective of some real life situation, but I have the inclination to believe that it is more reflective of a short temper and not coping well with the mannerisms of TL Mafia. This isn't AI, though. I think I just might not like him as a player, as opposed to thinking he is scum for it. The hyper-aggression just makes me look down upon him. "What the fuck is this dumb ass argument?" - Why so serious, kiddo? Got your panties in a bunch? -_-; QuickTwat from here on out. However, I am inclined to lean town on him simply because he is playing with purpose and without much indication of being scum. I think he is making the same mistake I did D1 against him, which is ironic: jumping to conclusions. Also, he seems to have given a few free passes, which I don't like. Will have to stick to my read that QT vs. Artanis was TvT for now. Jean Valjean: + Show Spoiler + Seems like a constructive and experienced poster. Reacted well to my raising suspicions about his election strategy. Still gives me the creeps a little, but not enough to pinpoint him as the scum. I feel that his clear presentation of ideas makes it easier to work with him, whether he is town or not. Any deviation from this foundation he has made as a reputaiton would be under instant scrutiny. I'm okay with him being Mayor, I think. Hopefully I'm not wrong. Tictock: + Show Spoiler + I like his stance on QT's play, not so much on Artanis's play. His strategy for voting which would make him pardoner didn't make much sense to me. However, his other posts seem to be probing in directions I can get behind (beside Chez for Prez, which given Chez's filter I can't really take seriously). I townlean on him. More to come. | ||

When he saw that he wasn't getting support for his campaign which was basically "vote me mayor pls," he pulled out the claim, which I don't buy based on his play otherwise. This is what I meant by "if he wasn't pushing so hard for mayor, I would townLEAN him." Which means I don't townlean him. | ||

I guess something like "The hallmark of an incomplete player". Yea, I'm not a big fan of the condescension. From personal experience, I feel like it is very easy to dip into that vile habit when you put more effort into your writing and participation in something than those around you, or when you find yourself in a position of power. I think that the best way to get Superbia to come around would be to talk to him as an equal and not a thorn in town's side. When Superbia was dug in on what would have been a losing lynch in the last game I played with him, he came around to logic and reason, not because I berated him. I think he is a good player, and although his posting style can be somewhat irritating (multiple one liners and vague open-ended statements that are essentially "to be continued"), I feel that everyone has a different method of going about satisfying your three major town criteria. I sometimes catch myself typing a "stream of consciousness" post in which I end up contradicting my opening sentence with my last one, essentially catching myself in WIFOM when I would otherwise have been concrete on my initial analysis. Perhaps Superbia needs to hit the post button, re-read his post, and then post again to achieve a similar result.

I don't have fun writing (and reading) long and elaborate posts. However, I can't really get behind this. Even if you are not a fan of writing long and elaborate posts, sometimes that is what is necessary to win someone over. Some of the inductive logic that results in a read or lynch cannot be simplified into two lines and contain words like "feels," so when others are not supporting you in a read you are certain of, it's time to hunker down and make your case as best as possible. This takes effort and is what makes this game interesting, in my opinion. If someone posts a long and elaborate post, you simply cannot be averse to reading it. The more words a person writes, the more indicators of their alignment are possible; if there are none, that may be suspect in itself ("narration" as someone put it earlier in the thread, I think?). If you don't read the long posts, you are ignoring potentially valuable information on three things: the issue at hand, the writer, and the intended reader. Reactions cannot be gauged if the initial post is not read. On June 27 2016 18:59 Superbia wrote: Treat others as equals, Jean. Ok I just got to this after I wrote the above, but hopefully it counts as more when another person seconds this sentiment. On June 28 2016 00:25 Jean Valjean wrote: He is probably talking about the bodyguard. This is the one thing that's going to be extremely helpful in deducing GlowingBear's alignment. His choice of bodyguard is very, very important. Do not let him get away with anything less than a full explanation for his choice and make sure it fits his thinking and approach. In addition, this is just speculation, but at some point in the game it may be a good idea to claim the bodyguard role. The reason is quite simple. We probably have some blues the mafia is going to be looking into shooting. A claimed bodyguard is a massive annoyance to mafia because if they want to eliminate me they have to first kill the bodyguard (if I understand the rules correctly). That means two extra nights for our blue roles to do their job. Also, this is more long term, but there is no world where we have named townie + 3 blue roles. That would be excessive, so if a situation comes up where the claims look like that, be very vary of the claims and start making hard decisions on blue roles. Can you explain the "two extra nights for our blue roles to do their job?" I don't see how revealing the bodyguard will result in this nor how it is a good idea. What if the bodyguard is blue? What if either you or GlowingBear have a blue PR? It seems like a potential stack of dominoes that could fall very quickly. I know GB claimed "named VT" which is basically a null Blue role, which sucks for town, but at the same time I've already expressed concern that this might not be the reality of the situation. Either way, I need to be convinced on this point. On June 28 2016 00:26 Jean Valjean wrote: Chez has been unimpressive so far. There's always a certain leeway with him, because you can usually count on him showing up to actually do stuff later in the game, but this is getting both annoying and suspicious. I don't trust quiet revolutionaries. I feel the same way. Artanis blatantly dodged my asking him to give an objective opinion on Chez's filter, which is very annoying too. It's good to see that someone agrees with me. | ||

He is almost all joky one liners with only exception being a JVJ scumread based on delusional stuff. So i don't think there is even a reason to tr EC to start with but even so why null read him when he's done nothing town indicative at all? EC's response to GB is so good that I want to TR him. | ||

Downside is that I don't remember him giving any reads. I had you as null to scummy but I like the way you came back to the thread. You're leaning town. Damdred is leaning scum. I think most of his posts are disinterested, and that makes me suspicious of him. He is not naturally reacting to what has been posted but he is here. He just, from times to times, post reads and chill. The problem is that his town passes looks like the town passes he would give as town. Moosy I have a gut feeling he is town. Mostly because he was naturally reacting to what I have been posting in here. I don't know about jealous I don't know about TT (I have a gut feeling he might be town) Jean Valjean has very good posts and the only thing that gives me pause is his stiffness. Other than that, a townread. Artanis usually follows the thread and inquire people more as town than when he is Mafia. I've seen him too defensive in this game. Actually, his approach to the thread seems quite similar to the last game where we played together where he was Mafia. EC is my lynch of choice today. He needlessly discredited QT for mayor while still townreading him. Had very faint reads on his three townreads (the one on you was the worst). When I inquired him to explain he basically dodged, and when I asked a quotation on where you have being on point, he quoted your list post where you actually were very obscure on why Jean Valjean, with one post at the moment, was almost top town. It felt like he was simply making that up, not really believing in what he said. Objective gaming. I think all these are some good posts that are constructive and add to the general scheme of town action. Finally this; This conversation with emp is really good. Forces a lot of content out of him when he was all one liner posts. It is after this I went back to re-read emp and got my scumread. Good points. What do you think of his rise to power/push for mayor? His reaction about not becoming mayor? | ||

Are you digging in or is there a point in me proffering defense? Right now I see these possible avenues: 1. I defend my play by pointing out things I did which would potentially indicate I am not scum. However, you might just see this as try-hard or suspect because I am looking at my own filter. 2. I post my analysis of EoD + N1 for each player. However, I somehow raised suspicion for doing a player-by-player filter read near EoD yesterday, first by Damdred and then by you, so perhaps that would again fall in your "trying to seem town," category. 3. I ignore you and act dismissively towards your allegations, which isn't really my style but given the reactions I've gotten since I was AFK and into my posts since then is what I chose to do when you first asked me in the quoted text. 4. You're digging in and there is nothing I can do. You seem to be the type to dig in/tunnel and it took some effort on my part to sway you into making the right decision in the Newbie game. This makes me think I should put effort in order to show that I am not scum and by extension increase the chances of town winning if TT doesn't flip red, because then one less day will be wasted lynching me. However, in the Newbie game I was beyond suspicion when I convinced you to change your mind. I guess it comes down to whether or not you would be swayed by someone you suspect directly answering your query in a manner you desire. And then, I am presented with WIFOM: If I do what Superbia says he wants me to do, would be detrimental to town because he would assume I am doing what he wanted in order to "try to seem town," or would it actually convince people that I am not scum and those people would convince a potentially tunneling Superbia? In essence, I feel that by getting hard townread by others in this game through devious play, you've achieved a certain level of power and sway and you're using this power to apply pressure. I was pressured in D1 and I did what I thought was right to relieve that pressure. I'm not sure that this would work with you in this case. Might be a case of newbness on my part. By this logic, I elect to do nothing until you can make a compelling case for why you think I am scum, or at least why I am more scum than anyone else in this game. If you put in the effort to do so, I will have more content to work off of in terms of presenting my thoughts on the game so far that may change your mind. | ||

On June 28 2016 15:59 Skynx wrote: "kinda claimed scum". You're past the point of being credible at anything, since Super admitted fake and TT is town I think we can start that trio with you. I also think that this is a very weak read by Damdred. He seems quick to jump on people for single posts and words, as if people who are writing in this game are especially susceptible to Freudian slips. I wouldn't necessarily say that Damdred is scum based on this (although I had my suspicions elsewhere prior), but it certainly doesn't make Skynx look more scum in my eyes either. | ||

On June 28 2016 16:12 Superbia wrote: Who's the last scum Jealous? Well, perhaps you ignored my post asking you to explain why you think it's me, but I'll humor you regardless. For a time I thought it might be GB because of the suspicious push for election. I am also not happy with Chezinu's inactivity or with Artanis' blind defense of him. I had a definite scum lean on Damdred, but it's diminishing slowly because of what he's been saying and how he's been humoring my (genuine) requests for detailed explanations. I still find his asking for everyone to reveal roles as an aggravating factor, so I'll leave him as a scum lean for now. I still have a mild paranoia about JVJ because he at least creates the image of a strong player who would be capable of busing that hard, but I will write that off for now because I accept that it is relatively unsubstantiated. I townleaned on Tictock before, and I honestly trusted you so much (probably because of last game) that I didn't even bother to doubt that you actually did track him. Now that you admitted that it's fake, I don't know how I feel about you, but I will probably rescind my vote on TT even though I just said it would be interesting to see how that plays out. I lean town on QT. For Skynx I did scumread him solely based on activity before and he still seems to be an intermittent player, somewhat similar to the Newbie game at points. So, at this point I'd say that my deepest suspicions are on Damdred, but I am not at all confident about it. | ||

On June 29 2016 02:00 Tictock wrote: Oh and I think both Super and Damred said Jealous had some TMI looking reactions to Super's fake claim. Can one of you guys elaborate on that for me plz? I'd also like an answer to this. I openly asked Superbia to show why he thinks I am more scummy than anyone else. He only answered with "Who do you think is scum, Jealous?" I obliged, but I feel like I'm getting tunneled on since day 1, first for a policy lynch and now for some vague reasons. Example: On June 28 2016 23:36 Artanis[Xp] wrote: True, if you want I can provide additional argumentation. You're terrible at faking emotion. You tried it once in Millionaires and it looked awful but people still insta townread you since Emo Damdred = town. Since then you've talked a lot about how emotions shouldn't be used to confirm people as town and try to move away from it. Especially with people now knowing you're capable of faking it, I really don't think you would play this way at mafia, let alone be capable of playing this way. You've just felt extremely natural this game. Jealous hasn't and is highly likely to be mafia. The majority of the criticisms brought my way fall into these categories: 1) Tone: "mechanical." I feel this word was chosen because it has negative connotations, whereas I feel the more appropriate words would be "objective and logical," which is how I played last game as well. On a side note, I don't understand how people can trust the analysis of a person who refuses to look at the most inactive player in the game with any suspicion because "Chezinu is my friend, I will not lynch him." I also find it interesting that though I believe I carry myself in a similar way to JVJ, people see us opposite on the spectrum. It just shows how bias and bandwagon collide. 2) TMI: Stated multiple times with zero clarification or expansion. My actions since the EC lynch and Superbia claim have been: a. Believe Superbia blindly b. Say that Tictock could still be Wanderer, but vote for him anyway c. Defend my vote for Tictock because his flip would be the most revealing after Superbia claimed tracker d. Unvote Tictock after fully understanding why Superbia fakeclaimed e. Explain how Superbia is trying to corner me and how situations from D1/N1 have hampered my chances of making a sound defense, because if people are tunneling me then any of the avenues I listed would be misinterpreted as "try hard" or otherwise scummy. I fail to see how any of the above makes me scum. Saying that Tictock could flip green wanderer in this scenario in my opinion should give me townie points because if I was scum, I'd just happily join the bandwagon on mislynching someone who I would know is town. I wouldn't try to bring doubts into the equation immediately after Superbia claimed, and would just write off the mislynch as "oh wow what terrible luck." I still voted for him because it was the only rational thing to do, and I was one of the few people active in between Superbia's claim and declamation. Superbia's push was still good because we got a read on TT, but I don't think we've gained much more outside of that. 3) Neutral reads on EC/Moosy: This is the closest thing to an actual argument that I've seen for me being scum, but is still full of holes. Moosy is impossible to read in D1 and I stated that directly, while also mentioning that he is of no benefit to town. I feel like JVJ's lynch of Moosy was following the same logic, so I don't see how that can be a sticking point here. My neutral read on EC is one of many; someone mentioned earlier in the game that it is basic strategy for scum to soft scumread their cohorts in order to distance themselves should they flip? In short, I feel like I am being tunneled on largely over vague meta-reads and nothing that actually happened in the game. Some people admit to just skimming my post, which is just poor etiquette and doesn't help town in the slightest. This just makes it easier for scum to bandwagon on me, or just avoid voting for me altogether if the bandwagon is strong enough. When I flip town, the people that have voted for me and tunneled on me would become suspect; unfortunately, statistically speaking the majority of them would have to be town, and I do feel that of the people who have voted for/pressured me so far, I would townlean on most of them with the glaring exception of Damdred who I've been scumleaning on from D1. If ONLY town votes for me for D2, that is even more dangerous. I am open to any questions. | ||

It was a kneejerk reaction and you brought it up way too early; like, before anything Superbia said was confirmed. Seemed like you were eager to get everyone's claims out in the open so scum could have an easier killing streak to the upset win. Don't understand why you have highlighted about me being vindicated. You always Lynch the red check unless you have a cc obviously. I'm not sure how much I can stick on this point because I am getting the impression that you are either foreign or your English is not that strong (perhaps this is influenced by your auto-correct issues). However, vindicated means: 1. clear (someone) of blame or suspicion. 2. show or prove to be right, reasonable, or justified. Both definitions point to you as being the one who read TT as scum and therefore you 1. are clear of blame or 2. are proven to be right, reasonable, or justified. If you had made a strong case on TT prior, then perhaps 2 may apply, but your follow-up reasoning here ("You always lynch the red check...") simply does not logically fit into this scenario. Your statement should have been "I was vindicated because I was scumreading TT from the start," as opposed to "I was vindicated because I voted in a logical manner." | ||

You make those based on a lack of content as opposed to anything actually said. His townreads ARE super lazy and his stance is NOT vindicated by the fact that they are the popular reads at this juncture; popularity does not imply that his reads had any substance to begin with.

If I put in all that effort to lynch you and you flip green, then "there's no way over tomorrow" for me either, so wouldn't it be a poor strategy to hunt you down if I was scum? There are already some votes headed your way, and I had already scumleaned you at the end of D1. No one would have suspected anything if I just voted for you.

On June 29 2016 05:16 Artanis[Xp] wrote: Okay, everyone, listen. There's one thing I know for certain. Absolute certain. Damdred is town. I'm going to try to explain why. I want everyone to read this post and let it actually sink in. Think about it for half an hour or something to avoid kneejerk/tunnel replies. People aren't mafia because of inconsistencies. Town tends to be much more inconsistent than scum. People also aren't mafia because they happened to do things that aligned with mafia objectives. People are mafia because they're mafia. That sounds incredibly obvious, but it's something we often forget. Lots of these cases on Damdred revolve around proving he's been inconsistent, or doing things that fit mafia objectives, but it doesn't matter because they never asked the fundamental question: Is Damdred capable of playing this way as mafia? Answer: He is most assuredly not. I've got a decent amount of experience playing with Damdred, including in one of the longest and hardest scumgames there was. We had a team of Damdred, Ritoky, Superbia, Marvellosity and myself and the thread was over 600 pages long, yet there were often moments where it was difficult for any of us to get motivated to play. There were moments where we wanted to resign, and probably would've if it wasn't for each other and the good position we were in. It is my fundamental belief that Damdred would've given up already a long time ago. On top of this, as I've stated, Damdred is notoriously bad for faking emotion. When he's suspected as mafia, he often becomes trolly/happy because he doesn't like playing scum. This is especially true when his team sucks (which would've been the case here). As town, he becomes emo/unhappy and it either motivates him enough to try harder, or he just gives up and votes himself. In this case given the way the game's been going, it's been the former. We've seen plenty of examples of how Damdred's been unhappy littered throughout the game and they came at the moments you'd expect. Damdred's tried faking emotion before and it wasn't particularly believable. He's just not very good at it. The Damdred of this game has had an extremely natural progression in terms of emotions and tones that he could not fake. He doesn't like playing scum and surrenders when it's impossible to win. Damdred is not mafia this game, and I plead for you to believe me on that. I believe Jealous is, though I'm not quite certain on it. I do know Damdred is going to flip green. Please take a bit of time to take this post in and don't give a kneejerk response to it. I won't really take the 30 minutes necessary because the majority of your reasoning is meant to appeal to veterans and people with direct experience with Damdred, which means there is no way for me to refute them or support them. I just want to say that these meta reads are all very lame. Your entire play so far in this game has been meta-based and you pushed the few people you have no background information on (QT, myself). This is really weak in my opinion. You refuse to look at certain people based on God-knows-what, you place weight on prior experience working WITH the person without considering that perhaps they have changed their approach knowing full well that they can't be the same person they were when they were scum with you, because that'd be too obvious. In fact, you are talking down to Damdred about his abilities as a player (even though he is "one of the best" by his own words) if you think his persona is so static and predictable. Please, look within the confines of the game. | ||

Damdred and I can't both be mafia so either my reasoning is 100% sincere, or he's Town anyway. Since I'm being sincere, you can be certain that I'm not trying to mess you about or fuck with you. There's certain things you know about a player after playing with them for long enough that they can't change, or are just innate to them. I'm not saying he can't play a great scumgame; I'm saying he can't play this scumgame with this team. I believe that to be entirely impossible. Furthermore, given I've pushed people that I haven't played with (and also used non-meta reasons), clearly it's not my entire play. It's a major part because all that matters is whether players are capable of playing the game they're currently playing as mafia. If the answer is no, you know their alignment. 1. I agree with this. I do believe your reasoning is sincere in the sense that you truly believe it. I also don't trust your reasoning because I can't trust someone who blindly pockets people (Chezinu). 2. I understand where you're coming from, but “overconfidence precedes carelessness.” You are so confident in your subjective experience and understanding of the people behind the aliases on this site that you are willing to overlook concrete evidence. On June 29 2016 05:35 Artanis[Xp] wrote: I'm sorry you can't get your mislynch based on logic. You've got some good logic going on and I'm sure it's frustrating to lose out on a mislynch this way. Not something you don't deserve with the way you're playing but mafia is a cruel game and sometimes people are town for reasons that suck, but make them clear town nonetheless. I like how you use "your mislynch" to further incriminate me in the eyes of the reader. I am only pursuing this because 1. I've "got some good logic going" and 2. I, like you, and truly sincere in my analysis. This is the clearest scum to me right now so I'm pushing it with tangible evidence at a time when everyone else seems to be dozing besides Superbia and TT. I'm doing this for the good of town. As I mentioned earlier, if I do all of this and Damdred were by chance to flip green, wouldn't that look terrible for me if all I had to do was vote for him and cite my D1 reads? I might not be an experienced player and therefore not a strong player, but I'm not retarded and even I can see cause-and-effect on an a->b level. Speaking of which, if you were scum and Damdred does get lynched and he is green, that would look great for you, wouldn't it? You made such an impassioned case with pretty formatting and an appeal to the in-circle of TL Mafia. If you were scum and I got lynched and flipped town, that might be a slight hindrance to you but nothing you wouldn't be able to work your way out of considering so many others are also on this wagon and because you have pocket buttbuddies in Chezinu and possibly Damdred (from his posts, at least). This is an interesting hypothetical, something I'd want to explore if Damdred does indeed flip green, which I doubt. For now, I'm sticking to my guns. It's won one game, it may win another. | ||

You unvoted me and revoted me, btw. On June 29 2016 06:04 Artanis[Xp] wrote: Honestly it just feels that you're scum to me because of the... opportunisticness you're displaying? You're lining up my potential mislynch now for if Damdred flips green, which is something I'd expect from scum. You're not taking the super easy things mostly such as people talking to others as if they're confirmed town (TT used it on Damdred) because you know they're cheap shots. I only worded it that way because I feel like everyone else is pretty townie and the way you're going about makes me feel pretty confident that you're mafia. There was also just some actual sympathy for you, not gloating about it. I sincerely believe you're scum and I am sincerely sorry that you're likely to get lynched because people get townread for stupid reasons. Mafia doesn't necessarily reward those who play the best. I've experienced it plenty myself where people end up with stupid townreads that are correct because they just would never do it as scum; dumbtells were common in that regard. As for the Chez read, I'm sure you're aware it's obviously a joke. Your frustration regarding it also further fuels my scumread on me, as I believe it's a mislynch that you need as mafia. Rest assured that I won't keep that joke going should it get to LYLO, but I doubt I'll be alive that long. I've had Damdred as my scumlean since D1. In a situation where it's me vs. Damdred both getting votes for lynch in the wake of Superbia's play, I'll always choose Damdred. Examining that in a vacuum, that can't be AI because as scum I am doing it to get as a myslynch, as you said, and as town I am doing it because that is the strongest scum case presented so far and the one I can stand behind as town. I'm playing to win in either scenario. Also, as I said before, it would be foolish for me to put in all that effort if I was scum to mislynch 1 player when I have so many more to take care of. I'm fully aware that if he flips green it will look bad for me; rationally, as scum, I would use this as an opportunity to quietly wagon on him and if I am approached about it I would cite my D1 reads. Instead, I'm trying to lead the charge. If you combine all of these things into one, I can't see how you can say I'm playing with an opportunistic mindset. Thanks for your sentiments. I'm frustrated because it's bad for town, and I am town. People withholding reads and analysis is always scummy to me. Chezinu contributing so little for so long, your refusal to read this fact, and Damdred constantly trying to butter you two up just all seem like things that townies who are trying to win wouldn't do. As you said, all three of you can't be scum, but all three of you could have mannerisms that are not beneficial to town. I do want to note that I never said that either you or Chez were scum, just that your "house of brown" stuff annoys me. | ||

That's besides the point though. Honestly btw we can't wait till lylo or mylo to look into Jean or else he automatically wins if he is scum in lylo which is what I'm paranoid about. His post just sent shivers up my spine. Which stinks I can't be on the combo but maybe the way moosey gave himself up to Jean is indicative. I meant the case on who else you have scum leans on! | ||

While I respect his use of language and mild tone, I have to say that he is trying too hard to push the notion that he is "smart" and that therefore the best choice for mayor. Scum can be smart too, and I think a smart scum would follow along the same lines that Jean is doing: 1. Lay relatively low at first and not draw much suspicion in either direction while the thread is in a tumultuous Day 1 state, Artanis fighting QT, lots of speculation going in every direction, etc. 2. a. Push a target that is already under pressure/suspicion from others using vague meta reads (paraphrasing what Artanis said, "If I had a dollar for every time someone scumread me for playing worse than they expect me to,"). b. Play word/mind games (and perhaps a little bit of fear tactics) to force that target to say things that Jean wants said from another mouth, giving him added external validity. "This is not incorrect, as mafia can never lynch me. My greatest strength in mafia is that I can beat people into submission with arguments and words." - Jean c. Essentially bullying him into voting for him as president. 3. Build a stronger platform for a presidential candidacy than any that has been posted so far, using big words and nice formatting to please the eye and make the reader complacently agree with the validity of his statements, in what could be considered a "last push" because of the timing (12 hours before EoD as opposed to any time prior). I find the fact that he has garnered a fair share of support and relatively little suspicion to be very alarming. Is everyone going for the textbook "he is active and pushing someone, so can't be scum?" I believe that can backfire terribly in a game such as this where that modus operandi would be an effective strategy for Mafia to get into a position of power and make the game much harder for Town to win. There have been four people whose names have been tossed around/who have been voted for/have pushed for presidency, from what I've read so far (I still have to go back to the early pages). In most recent pages, GlowingBear has been making some weak pushes for it, going by the logic of "Why SHOULDN'T I be President?" as opposed to "Here is why I SHOULD be President," which I don't like either. In short, I think that between those people (Superbia, Jean, GB, and one other person I am forgetting at the moment) there must be a scum. It is THE play of the game in this format, and for scum to sit back and allow Town to freely elect Town for both positions would be simply poor play. I find that to be less likely than scum being one of the power candidates right now. | ||

As TT said, the main reason this wagon even gained traction was because of some flight of fancy, more of a sentimental "let's jump to conclusions because we want this to be the greatest game evar" than any real analysis of Jean's play. As TT said, Superbia could be equally guilty of the same legendary bus technique. Basing Jean's lynch on this and inactivity is too great a risk because we lose 2 potentially townie votes and we lose a townie who can't be NK. | ||

Though I think my first thought was also that he was killed as a potential BG. If he was killed because he was on the right track it would implicate Super actually. Wouldn't this be a little too... basic? Killing the one person who suspects you (I don't think there were others or if there were, they did not make a case like this) is suspicious as all hell and when you have the pick of the litter so early in the game, I don't think Superbia would go for something so direct. | ||

GB is another person who can't be killed if his bodyguard is alive. In an end-game scenario where you have Jean/GlowingBear/Bodyguard/Random townie, if GB is scum then he will probably try to lynch Jean and then win the game at night. There are other such end-game scenarios where lynching GB might become an option for Jean, which is why I want his take on the matter. | ||

I still think it's too much of a risk to take at this juncture, and would prefer to only do it if it is forced upon us as we progress through the D/N cycles. There are still quite a few cycles left until Jean becomes invincible as scum, which means plenty of other developments can occur that would help shed light on Jean and others in the game. Maybe my balls aren't big enough to join you on this wagon or perhaps I tend to be risk-averse, either way I am sticking to my guns (Damdred) on this one because it is the strongest case I've seen developed on a purely logical scale (as in, ignoring meta). If Damdred flips green, I have some other avenues to pursue but I don't want to reveal those until someone gets NK'd. Maybe scum will eliminate some possibilities and if I post my suspicions now, scum will be less likely to remove them from town's radar. | ||

When this wagon first formed, I thought it was purely to a light a fire under JVJ's ass and force him to devote some time to D2 and making reads, but at this point I feel like you guys are wasting valuable time that could be spent having him contribute to other reads with greater depth because you force him on the defensive. If he didn't have to deal with the repeated badgering, he might do something that is better for the town as a whole - i.e., provide detailed reads. This would be to town's benefit whether he is town or not, and some of the things he may say would be more AI than him trying to stay alive. So, in pursuing that line of thought: JVJ, why not Damdred? I posted a pretty detailed list of posts from him and my interpretation of them. Despite you saying that you like my play, you seem to not even have him on your radar. Cut your losses on defense and consider that the best defense could be a good offense. | ||

I don't think TT is, as of now. I think that the cases on Jean and Superbia are similar from what I've read so far, so that is a confusing ordeal because if one of them is scum then either one of them is playing an incredible scum or one of them is playing a bad town. I think we can assume the former to be true. Superbia has shown himself to be a clever player in both games so far; Jean has shown himself as a much more transparent and open player. If I had to decide between the two of them, I'd go with Superbia. However, I'd really need to dig in his filter to find any evidence to support this inclination because from the D1 filter read I did on him and what I recall from N1/D2, I haven't seen anything overly scummy from him. This is now on my to-do list. Artanis was my only other pick besides Chezinu. Why? Perhaps there is more than "meta" behind his townreads on people. If Damdred were to get lynched yesterday and he made that long and almost exceedingly townie-toned post about why Damdred would be town, then he would get a lot of credit and whoever pushed Damdred might be in the spotlight. This is the perfect scenario for scum - divide the town between the people who wagoned Damdred and those that did not, with him being the leader of the "did not" party. Of course, only scum or cop would know for certain that Damdred is not scum. If Artanis was scum, it'd be very wise of him to counter-argue a strong case that I built against Damdred with "meta" and nice formatting to basically say "Damdred can't be scum, he is super town," and in this scenario WHEN and not IF Damdred flipped town, Artanis could use this as leverage as both a case against anyone who voted for him (especially me) and as a defense against anyone who questions him ("But if I was scum, wouldn't it make sense for me to allow town to mislynch Damdred?"). This is all circumstantial and by no means confirmed; I still need to lynch Damdred to see how it plays out, but if he does flip green I want everyone to be aware of this possibility. So, Skynx, who to you is scum then? | ||

The case against Jean boiled down to "Wouldn't that be an epic bus and thus an epic win for town if we nailed him?" The case against Chezinu was "He's uncharacteristically AFK, he ain't done shit." The case on you involved me digging, citing, and analyzing your filter for 5 pages in a transparent and manner, with other people supporting my analysis. Why would I switch to a flimsy Chezinu read when my own read on you had far more substance? I understand that as my target you can't be expected to stay objective, but come on now.

On June 30 2016 21:18 Artanis[Xp] wrote: So what you're saying is you don't believe I can have as strong a townread on Damdred as I say, therefore I must have TMI? I guess that's a roundabout compliment in a way. I know you despise meta, but take a little look into my previously played games, please. I have never ever tried this hard as mafia under suspicion, let ALONE when the rest of my team died early. If I was in a team with MD and EC (and I mean no offense to them) I would've just given up on D1 and let the lynch wash over me. I would not end up having the longest filter in the game. No, I'm saying that your townread on Damdred might truly be valid in your eyes, or you might just be trying to take a stance on him that automatically excludes the people who don't have your experience with him. Essentially you are appealing to a certain subset of the town population and excluding the other, forcing a divide between the two. Whether this is intentional or not, I don't feel comfortable taking your word as gospel on the matter without substantiated evidence within this game. Essentially, you are asking newbies to trust you, whom they do not know well as a player, about your analysis about Damdred's meta, whom they also do not know well. Try to see it from at least my perspective, as I cannot speak for others. If you came into a game that hinges on deception, would you feel comfortable trusting the guy saying "I've been here before, I know you're new but trust me on this one?" This isn't Diablo 2 where you can trust Deckard Cain and Akara to not stab you in the back, this is more like Skyrim where the NPC at the bar will poison your drink and leave you in some temple halfway across the world under the pretense of a drinking contest. I'm not willing to devote hours into reading previous games just to catch up on meta reads, that's just not a reasonable request in my opinion. Also, doing what you say in order to trust you more is the same as a prisoner determining his own punishment; you're naturally going to propose the avenue that is most beneficial to you but not necessarily the one that is most objective. In other words, make a case for why Damdred can't be scum along the lines of what I did, within the confines of this game as opposed to an argument that has prior knowledge as a prerequisite. Also, I know you said you don't want to discuss reads (can you explain why, by the way? I don't think I understand your explanation because newbie), so maybe this is more up your alley in terms of meta: You and others have used the argument that "Damdred/X/Y would have already given up if they were scum in this scenario." What players do you think would not give up in this scenario? Would you give up? | ||

It is guaranteed that one between Damdred and I is town, so either my analysis is 100% sincere, or it is 100% correct from your perspective. The frustrating part to me is, I suppose, that his alignment is so blatantly obvious to me that it's difficult to spend a lot of time on disproving the reasons people bring up. It's kind of like a bunch of people claiming the moon is yellow because it emanates a yellow glow. I still know the moon is white, and I know the yellow glow emanating doesn't make it yellow, but to anyone who hasn't seen the moon before that very day, they may believe it to be true. As for my personal analysis, I presume Damdred can confirm that, and probably others in the game as well. GlowingBear and Superbia SHOULD be able to, presuming they've paid enough attention. As for not giving reads until the night deadline; I don't think it's clear who's getting shot. Posting my reads may result in an alteration of the night kills. Say no one suspects you and you're town and I come up with a big case on you; scum may have wanted to NK you, but they then decide to NK someone else as you turn into a viable mislynch. That's why I'd rather not go into reads right now. At first I thought this was a great metaphor and got me to understand your side of it completely. However, even though the moon is white the majority of the time, it is still yellow when it appears yellow, it is still red when it is red, it is still black when it is black. In reality, the moon has no color. Color is a subjective, human perspective. The moon merely reflects the light, angle of light, or lack of light shone onto it, and we attribute color to it based on the ways our eyes perceive a small portion of the light spectrum. Even a moon that in your experience of 27 days appears as one color, at least one day out of the lunar month it will be a different color. Replace day with game. In other words, I find your absolute lack of faith in Damdred's ability to change his play given the circumstances to be pretty complacent and potentially just as myopic as my unwillingness to see the things I've dug up as anything but scummy. I see, that makes sense. I was going to pose a question to the town as a whole asking something along the lines of, "if the person you suspect as scum were to lynch anyone, who do you think it would be?" and I came to the same realization: anything said in response would simply be a confounding factor when the NK does come, so I didn't post that ^^ | ||

I wasn't entirely averse to a Chezinu lynch either, even though I still would prefer to lynch you and that hasn't changed as of now. | ||

Even if GB is still in the game and he pardons either himself or whoever the other townie is, Jean will just NK the other townie, GG. Without Jean being in the final 3, there is at least one more Day for the three remaining players to figure out who is scum. With Jean being in the final 3, even if he is not scum, we place all of our faith in his decision. I trust two heads over one, in the sense that the two remaining townies would know that each of their votes is as crucial to winning the game as the other's. However, this does not mean I support lynching Jean now or at any point prior to this situation. When there are only Scratch that. We have 8 players remaining at the start of this Day cycle. This means that (if we assume there is no pardon): After D3 = 7 people After N3 = 6 people After D4 = 5 people '' N4 = 4 people '' D5 = 3 people '' N5 = 2 people, gg This means there will never be a Day cycle with 3 people, or an odd number of people (again, if we assume no pardon). If we get to this point of 4 people (D5) and we lynch Jean and he flips town, then town loses. At D5 people can still lynch Jean with a 3-2 majority, but this is also risky because if Jean is town and votes a mislynch, scum can shenanie at the last moment and swing the 3-2 in the other direction and win that way. Thus, if we don't lynch scum in D3 or D4, town will likely lose. Therefore, Jean must die in D4 in order to give town another day to vote. | ||
