Haha, what did I say. Ok, come on guys, that gave us a fighting chance. We can definetly still win this. and we can even afford mislynches now. It is really late, but now we have a lot more to work with by looking at moosy and lunatics filters and seeing if we can't find that last scum.

Okay so left we got:
silent
BTDT
scott
J Roc
Skynx

1 mafia left out of a total of 6. We lose one tonight which makes it 5:1.

EVEN IF we get a mislynch that just makes it 3:1. Which means we have two whole days to do this now.


silent isn't mafia. Not after saying he wanted Moosy as his D4.

J Roc is...probably unlikely. I was going to say definitely because I've been fairly convinced for a while but his recent filter isn't so great.


That means its probably scott, BTDT or, at a stretch, Skynx.

scott looks awful. Flat out awful.

BTDT looks a bit better but I'm very mixed. There's indicators that he can't possibly be on Lunatic's team but Rels pointed out that cute little play Lunatic made on D2.

Skynx is a stretch admittedly. There's just...bits and pieces here that I was a bit eh on.


I can't really go into details right now because I've literally had a bottle and a half of prosecco so...

I'll try to filter tomorrow. If anything can even be made of the absolute mess that is everyone's filter at this point.

If scott isn't mafia he REALLY NEEDS to start posting and absolutely reek of town honestly. Because I'd be super comfortable lynching him right now.

Best thing to do is to look at everything Moosy and Lunatic did know that we know they are mafia. I'm also pretty sure both btdt and scott are town.

What's driving me nuts now is that I felt uncomfortable with Moosy D1, despite kinda liking his posts.

But then when he conjured up a cute little theory based on the VCA N1 association between silent and Grack I gave him a ton of credit because: 1. it couldn't be faked, it was hard votes and 2. it seemed to show genuine thinking about the game.

Since then I'd more or less just subconsciously dismissed him as a possibility. Because even though it was wrong it had a solid, logical basis; which is super townie. X-(

Tbh I still really, really don't like most of what scott has posted. And I don't like his total inactivity despite constant promises for stuff.


However I've been filter diving MYSELF just a little bit now and I find this exchange very interesting:

I actually let go of my town lean of you. If Lunatic flips red, I can easily see you bussing here to gain towncred. I am also a bit paranoid about a scott, you and lunatic team but for now the only reason to add Scott to that list is the pterequisite that you are scum, so its highly associative.

I don't get how scott goes from "in my town circle" to "in my Lunatic's likely partners".

Thats why I said highly associative. If lunatic plus celestial are scum, I can see Scott scum. Last sentence of my post says "only reason to put him on that List", thought that makes my stance clear.


This is garbage as above.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS. SCOTT CAN STILL BE SCUM EVEN IF I FLIP TOWN.


We now know that there is only one scum at most between scott and BTDT. At the time the way BTDT here was talking it LOOKED (to me) like he was setting things up to read scott as town based on me flipping town. Which I hated, because it'd give "town armour" to scott against a lynch later on. Potentially allowing for two mislynches in a row and winning scum the game.

Which would imply both scott and BTDT were on scum team and working to get scott heavily townread and potentially win the game.

In light of the fact that is now actually impossible BTDT looks way, way better here. I know that I'll flip town (you don't have to believe me, just take it for this argument). Which means the three possibilities are as follows:

1. scum!BTDT was implying town!scott would be town on the basis of my flip being town. Why does a scum set up a potentially easy lynch target (given scott's total inactivity) as being town read on the basis of someone else's town flip?

2. town!BTDT was implying scum!scott would be town on the basis of my flip being town. Which is just a read and association mistake.

3. town!BTDT was implying that town!scott would be town on the basis of my flip being town. Which, as above, is just an association mistake (as I outlined myself, me being town doesn't necessarily make scott town).


Since 1 is the only scenario where BTDT is scum and is super, SUPER unlikely then BTDT looks way better in light of all that.

D2: Rels > Scott > KSC
D3: Celestial

Moosy:
D1: Didn't vote

I don't know how much we can read into votes though. Moosy voted on the massive wagon on D2 then flipped for the shenanie and didn't vote at all otherwise. (Its worth noting though that a quick skim of his filter indicates that he seemed to really like the idea of going on BTDT which is more ammo in the quiver of 'BTDT is not scum'.)


Lunatic went with Rels D1 who was inactive as hell until EoD. Then went with Rels again starting D2, flipped to scott when there were 6 people on him, one on scott and one on silent. Then flipped to KSC to make the spread 6 on him, 1 on scott and 1 on silent. This is actually pretty weird I think. I'll have to check his filter from around the time of these votes.

Then D3 he just went me. Because he was getting lynched full stop and it didn't really matter. I guess maybe he was trying to feel out if anyone would go for a different lynch even in spite of the cc, but that was never happening.

Don't just look at mafia votes, look at who voted for them. Btdt voted for lunatic pretty early, which imo should have very strong townlean. Scott got voted on by lunaticman, which should clear him as well.

Obviously In fact the BTDT attack on Lunatic is literally the only thing (until now) that I've found townie. Which is why I was pushing scott ahead of him.

The Lunatic vote on scott doesn't clear scott for me. Because it was largely inconsequential at the time as far as I can tell. If I'm reading this right there were six votes on Lunatic and only one other on scott.

First of all, apologies for the failure to vote.

Next: I have pushed Lunatic since day 1, had Moosy under suspicion and raised that multiple times for his meta change, and I got pushed by Moosy over D2. Whoever is now going to lynch me should be the next person to hang. We have multiple mislynches now so I guess it's okay if I take one for the team but it's not exactly a situation I desire to be in.

I think we all should re-evaluate every single person on the list:

silentwarrior
beentheredonethat
scott
J Roc
Skynx
Celestial

Silentwarrior
I feel like silent has the lowest chance of everyone excluding me to not flip red. While his initial scumread was wrong (Stutters), I could see where he came from and he established a good case around his initial vote. What makes him more town in my eyes is that he not only explained his vote but also gave insights on how he established reads on other players, including celestial, me, and kelsier. While I interpreted RB spam as scum indicative (which was a huge mistake on my part, as I admitted D1), he basically made the same mistake but in the other direction, townreading RB/Scott - but he also admitted that he was wrong. Also, there's his townread on scott:

On scott however I think he is town. His entry post to me seems very town-like. He immedietly accuses 4 people of scum.


Which is basically the same reasoning that I had for townreading scott all game. The bad thing is that scott stopped participating in this game basically. That can be lurky scum, or disappointment in the game's general direction. The latter should be NAI and can be felt as any alignment. I do not know enough about scott's meta to be able to judge him but as of now, I expect him to come back to the game and step up again.

Back to silent, I'll come to scott later. Silentwarrior does not only cast his vote but he also continues to ask questions towards Stutters which I really like:

His "case" shows either a complete lack of following the thread (it was incredibly obvious my vote was for a plynch, as well as C's) or, more maliciously, intentional misrepresentation. Either way, that isn't going to cut it after disappearing for so long.


How was your vote on me a policy lynch? For that matter, how am I supposed to know it's a policy lynch when you write no arguments or anything to back up your vote? Celestial posted arguments and thouthts about me before voting, even if I disagree about them.

If we leave aside the fact I think you're kinda scummy...honestly you have a bit of a point that he's not really said much about you. In a normal game I'd say it was very weird but given the rock-bottom activity level its significantly harder to read.

That being said I don't think its out of line where he said about lynching a lurker and then voted you. You weren't in thread for ages at that point. You were lurking. After throwing out a few scummy posts throwing probably-undeserved shade on KSC. It wasn't a great look for you.


That's not the thing that sticks out about the vote. It's that he dosen't mention me at all, then without much explanation votes for me, quoted your vote only 4 minutes after you posted it. Didn't say anything at all himself.

Also, you can't still think it's still undeserved shade at KSC? He was in thread not too long ago and still didn't contribute. I'd say some of that shade is pretty deserved by now.

Celestial does not agree with the read and also scumleans Silent at this point. However the discussion that is going on feels absolutely genuine.

What I do not understand though is the sudden switch (it comes directly after without any explanation) to mderg:

I'm seeing a lot of squirming within Rels' scum reads between celestial and stutters, so I would beg town to follow through on this mderg lynch.


If you think I'm scum, shenanie onto me right now. Because this game is silly as hell.

Incidentally, mderg just transferred the kill vote to himself I think. Though an updated count would be great to confirm.

Rules say most recent, so he was set from before his change. I think im the one that's set now. Im gonna vote mderg for that reason.

##Unvote
##Vote: Mderg

Which is a shennanie. I'm not too sure if I can draw any alignment from this vote and silent might be scum switching between town - but I don't really believe it. However this is the only thing that sticks out from his rather straight thought process and thread evaluation so it's definitely worth to be mentioned.

That's D1 so far. D2 starts with a Case on Lunatic which, among my pressure from D1, is one of the reasons to start a Lunatic train. Which (to me) basically clears Silent;

Nice shit, after like 4 people saying how vigclaim is not the play here

I've been thinking about it and I think this is a really scummy reaction. In Skynx' mind, before the claim, I was the most likely scum in the game. The lynch today was basically me or silent, according to his list during the night. So me claiming is a fucking GOOD thing for him, as it makes him re evaluate and should push him in the right path instead of wasting time scumreading me.
But Skynx' reaction is the opposite. He is not happy with my claim because "this is not what we decided to do". This makes little sense when he should be happy that a claim showed him at least one of his read was wrong. I would agree that Celestial claiming would be a fucking waste for him: but me, a strong scumread, claiming should be nice for him.

I've been thinking about it and I think this is a really scummy reaction. If you're actually vigi, claiming before next EoN would make your claim undeniable, not right now.
What is pushing the "right" part in your opinion here? Grack flipped green so it clears Silent? You are confirmed town so only lynch now is Scott?


No, only lynch for me is lunatic. Also, claiming vig is the best thing for town right now. We get a confirmed town and we also might have a doctor, who will most likely protect Rels now. This is a very good position for town right now.


Then the Kelsier claim situation happens and I think this one here:

Ok, so the main reason I post this is something some of you may not like, and will probably call me tinfoil for saying it. But it needs to be said. First, let me say that I have had suspicoin of this since N1, but have kept silent about it since I was more focused on lunatic at the time and couldn't afford to derail that. I have 3 people in my scumlist in descending order of "scuminess". Lunatic, Moosy and Celestial. The thing that drew me to celestial at first was the fact that he survived N1. It was so strange to be honest. If you compare Stutters and Celestial, he was the obvious person to kill, not stutters. The only reason I can see that stutters was killed was to cast suspicon on the people who were against him. This was primarily me and grack as well I think. The plan obviosly failed when Grac was killed as well, but before that mafia set things up in preparation for stutters death. First, Moosy along with Celestial pulled up that bullshit VCA. Moosy seems like he would go for that sort of thing, but celestial suprised me by actually saying he liked it. What's more, he completely ignored the explanations we had that supported our views, even when it was stutters saying them. Celestial has made the biggest posts with the most analysis, but he barely even bothered to even think about the voting pattern more than a passing "eh, seems alright".

Lunaticman - Stuff early on seemed pretty town-based. He was doing the right things and didn't do anything that raised any series red flags. I didn't like the fawning over me too much to be honest. Felt like he was trying to buddy up and pocket me but eh. I feel like the push to lynch Rels whilst he was inactive was a total waste but based on the comment about how Rels dodged five town lynches by being inactive in a previous game its forgivable; and I don't think someone wanting to look to lynch inactive mafia is unreasonable given how horribly inactive this game was for a long time. I wasn't entirely on board with his feelings about RB and scott but I do understand where his opinion is coming from so that's alright. Voting Rels is NAI at that point. Post-flip list is alright (though I'm really never a fan of people including themselves in lists of town aligned people; anyone can do it and it comes across to me as a blatant attempt at a psychological manipulation tactic of "doesn't my name look good next to these townies?") but nothing special. I'm still not liking his feeling on Scott though. The stuff with Grac and Rels is alright; I don't think there absolutely HAS to be mafia between Rels/Grac but there almost certainly is. I disagree with his latest point on Rels, in fact I think the way Rels went about it (i.e. completely full-on) is one of the few saving graces for Rels.
Townlean.


Okay done. Just in time before the deadline.


He also had a strong townlean on lunatic for no apparent reason. He did a filterdive of lunatic same time as me, and mentions some the things we now know makes lunatic scum. But he not only ignores some of those, he even makes excuses for them. Worse, he misses some of the huge red flags in lunatics filter, even though it was probably the shortest filter with the most scummy things. And then, when me and 3 others vote for lunatic he comes in and changes his mind? I'm sorry, I just don't believe that. We know mafia tried to bus Lunatic when it looked like he was dying.

Also, in the same big post as quted above, he has the now confirmed townies (Rels, Grack, Kelsier, Silent) as mafia reads, while the ones that are more questionable much higher up. The only townie he has in town is stutters. But thing is, mafia knew he was gonna die that night, so ofcourse he was gonna be high on the list.

I know most of you all see him as town, and it's no doubt that he has posted the most. But I just want to make sure we consider everything. I might be wrong on celestial, and I certainly won't lynch him before Moosy and Lunatic, but I would definetly consider it.

And then, this. I highly appreciate this post. I had my own tinfoil thoughts as I said in my previous posts about the pattern of scott/lunatic that Celestial is posting. I think this post is very well thought out and summarizes another aspect of my paranoia about Celestial's alignment (note, solely based on activity level, I'd easily townread him!).

I'll stop here. Silent is locked town for me.

The most active player with the biggest filter with the hugest cases. That should be an easy townread.

Makes sense though. I am still having headaches from MoosyDoosy, too. But yeah.

This day should end with a Lunatic lynch. If Kelsier survives the night, He should be the lynch next day. We'll most likely loose Rels as uncced vig though so Kelsier surviving should be NAI... but yeah hes not contributing at all although he WAS in the thread.

You guys believe a cc with shitty reasoning


This pretty much outs you here. Its not so much anyone 'believed' so much as mechanically the best play there was to lynch KSC, then lynch Lunatic. KSC had done nothing all game. Lunatic's claim came off the back of actually doing stuff. Either way you're lynching one then the other if the first doesn't flip red.

I already pointed out how super weird your last post was. The problem is that now town can't lynch me for the confirmation to kill you and probably scott, which is a huge pain. scott really has done absolutely nothing of value all game but you love the guy.


Actually on reflection I'd maybe prefer a scott lynch first. But there's plenty of time to think on it because tomorrow we're lynching Lunatic so its at least like...five days before we lynch anyone else. Plenty of time to re-dive everyone.

I am not exactly understanding why I am "outed" here. The best play would have been to lynch the obviously fake counter claim. Let me bring up the fact that I pushed Lunatic D1. Brought him up to people's attention N1. That I was the third to vote him and thus was the (imho) initial vote that got the wagon running. Keep in mind that my stance was that Kelsier should be today's lynch BEFORE the wagon had finally formed.

You are following thread sentiment. You contributed nothing D2 except for a huge but redundant post on the already formed wagon which can very easily be used as a big excuse for you bussing a teammate.

"Lunatic's claim came off the back of actually doing stuff". You are contradicting yourself here. You pointed out, as others did before you, that most of Lunatic's stuff was actually empty, half-hearted, and scum-indicative. Why do you throw away all those points that you brought up before and say now that "he was actually doing stuff"? What exactly was he doing besides claiming medic? Lunatic claimed medic for one purpose only: to avert his lynch and to get another blue role lynched. And you insist that he actually was doing something? That is a plain lie that strongly speaks for you being Lunatic's team member. As I pointed out before, you were reluctant to vote him ALTHOUGH you made a huge post on him. You should be the next lynch right after.

This is your very first post about pretty much everyone (#281) :

Lunaticman - Thing about lynching Grac because of a previous game is NAI as far as I'm concerned. Just salt. Don't particularly like the assumption of Race being town based on the spamming but honestly I don't think it even matters. It was just a massive disruption to the game all told. This line indicates to me that they're not on the mafia team together:

So even if he has good reads we will not be able to take anything productive from it.


Even though this is perfectly true it's not something I think you would say about a fellow mafia member so early on. You wouldn't want to undermine their credibility (even if Race was doing a more than good enough job doing that himself). This isn't to say that Lunatic or Race/scott isn't mafia, but a Lunatic/(Race/scott)/x team is unlikely in my eyes based on that post alone, which is a potentially useful bit of information going forward.

I actually really like Lunatic's reply to Skynx:

It feels like you are also sceptical of Grac, I don't know if I will be able to trust him. Also I think he is playing similar to last game so far. I don't know if that is good or bad. The big difference is that he is contributing "more" atm so that should indicate he is towny?


Lunatic is town leaning a little from this in my eyes (unless we want to go tinfoil hat and assume they're both mafia and are playing a VERY aggressive game together). If they're both mafia then he doesn't do this so early because you're starting to put yourself too close to a teammate too early on before anyone is being townread and before you see where the game is going. If Lunatic is mafia and Skynx isn't then I think you be a bit more buddy-buddy about the "hey we agree on this!" thing.

Questioning Grack about that kinda weird thing on Race is good. From there on seems to be asking genuinely useful probing questions. Trying to get a game going despite everything that's happened. All good stuff.


The first thing you do is to paint a "Lunatic and RB do not have the same alignment" picture. You do not follow up on this, instead you directly start to build a town read about Lunatic. He also is the very first person for you to get into. Who are the most present people in your mind when you're scum and it's D1? Right, your teammates, because you know their alignments and you talk to them in QT. So why not start with that guy, it doesn't even have to be a concious decision.

Celestial is creating a town read on Lunatic for reasons that are very vague and feel highly constructed. This is the first indicator that those guys are in the same team.

Another thing is: you absolutely dislike Scott and don't like my townread on him. How does that go together with scott's harsh thread entry that was basically consisting of pushing me? If Scott is scum (and I am scum in your world), how does it makes sense that he is so pushy D1 on me although there is literally no need to do so?

Also no mafia would ever write a post that is so coherent so you are the best town lean in the game for me atm.

Tbh I didnt even realize rels was in the game, my god bring out another salt shacker for me lol.

Yeah also I think I misunderstood the term bussing, I think I was thinking of like a train? When someone stacks votes on a player. I dont know the proper terminology for it.

Be back in a couple of hours from work.


Thank you, but be careful. Make sure you're reading through what I've said and check that my train of thought makes sense to you before you townread me for it. I won't say its 'easy' (because that damn thing took between one to two hours to write) but its a very 'simple' thing for a scum to simply write a huge post and then hide behind it.

Trust nobody until you've decided they're town from what they've actually said, not just from posting a lot of stuff that reads nicely. I'll be asking myself some very searching questions later on, believe me. (Kudos to whoever gets that reference.)

Here's a useful summary of bussing:

I think you might be thinking of bandwagonning?

I only added the people who actually voted for me - There was a vote in the main thread for Race that was not in the voting thread I didn't count either. I was looking more at who pulled the trigger to do so. And BTDT looks the worst out of those four.


Fair enough, I thought it might be something like that.

More interaction with Lunatic. But it's only about explaining Bussing. It's of course very good to remind a player to "carefully read into me, because I could be lying". This is a very interesting interaction because it is seemingly helping each other out while in reality, it is a process of putting Lunatic in a position as a full newbie. That way, town will of course be hesistant to lynch him, and will read his posts with a mindset of "that guy is new, he might be bad not scum". That feels exactly like a move that a more experienced player would make. Celestial is a more experienced player.

Can we expect a replacement or a modkill for Rels if he doesn't turn up at all for the entire day?

What is this question. The answer is in the rules. Why is the interest in Rels' consequences so high? Easily explained. Celestial as an experienced mafia player knows that Rels is one of the best players in this game and knows that he is town. So he tries to find out if he's getting modkilled so they don't have to waste a kill and can plan accordingly. I don't see any purpose in this question besides that one. Scum doesn't know if Rels is going to get MK'ed at day end or night end. Hm. I'm not too convinced of that theory by myself but still, I'm letting it here for you guys to discuss.

Honestly...sod it.

I don't like silent's posts in the thread so far and he's nowhere to be seen. I don't want to get in trouble for not voting at all so for now (and in case I don't get time to come back on later) I'm parking my vote there. If nothing else it dials up the pressure on him to actually post something more.

Please note I am very open to changing here. I just got nothing better right now and I'll be damned if I'll get in trouble for not voting when its mandatory...

"Hello guys, I cast my vote but I am fine to not vote my scum read so yeah go ahead".
This is a very weak statement. If you are convinced your vote is scum, you vote. If someone else comes with a better/stronger case that you like more, you vote someone else. But saying "Hey, I don't like him, here's my vote but I only do it because I must" is scum indicative. Any townie can wait until the very deadline to cast his vote. The vote can be used to pressure people. But this is a very open "hey, just parking it here, don't worry, no harsh feelings". Makes no sense at all, and Celestial appeared very reasonable in his long posts, so why suddenly change that behaviour? Afraid of no townie wagon forming?

What a weird post. You repeatedly scumleaned/read scott. But you're not fine to have a scott lynch because "VCA will be useless"? Can you please show me your VCA? Because you imply that a lynch that is not scott would make up for decent VCA.

Also note how at this point, Lunatic has completely dropped under the radar for Celestial, he's not commiting to any more posts regarding scum lunatic.

I'm kinda open to being convinced on mderg honestly. I don't like the silent vote as much as I did before his last post (though his silence through this game has been deafening). And if I shift I think that switches the vote off scott, who I really don't want to see lynched D1. And I don't think its likely other trains will get going at this point unless someone picks up on something really blatant.

Can anyone provide a concise, clear, convincing argument to switch right now?

And boom, joining the mislynch wagon and abandoning the silent vote. Of course, he knows it's town, so he can be "kinda open to being convinced". This part of the sentence is highly interesting. It implies that the decision to lynch mderg is not his own but a decision that someone else made him to take. Also, how do you not want scott to be lynched if you keep saying .

Almost definitely at least one mafia in there as far as I'm concerned.

I'll have to look through the votes and vote switches properly. But no way can I see no mafia on that wagon.


What happened to this? Huh?


Having dived his 9 page filter, there's just too much to not start again and again thinking "this guy's town". I tried to find some words and picked up some stuff from Celestial's filter but the truth is that I really feel like my scum lean on Celestial has lost a lot of substance. While I don't think I'm wrong on what I am saying, my findings, as mentioned in the two posts I quoted, are highly situational and could as well apply to a town as a scum player. Long story short, if Celestial is indeed scum (and I am still somewhat paranoid about it), he deserves to live through three or four more mislynches and win the game. I am not going to lynch the most active player in the game, it just feels like a bad decision.

Still, I would like you guys to read through the posts I quoted from myself and drop opinions about them!

Scott

Here's what he does in his 2 (Oo... didn't realize that, felt he was way more active) page filter:

hard scumreads me for my "Race Bannon"

agrees with silentwarriors early post on Kelsier's inactivity and that it's scum indicative

gives "town point" to J Roc for also finding my "Race Bannon"

quotes Celestial's huge read post to add two lines to it saying "Btdt is the worst of those that voted for RB"

nulls MoosyDoosy after being explicitely asked for a read of him - by MoosyDoosy

calls out mderg for not liking scott's posts, asks him to elaborate

adds lunaticman and moosy to his "would not lynch" list for no considerate reason

has a "null" list that is not featuring moosy although he explicitely said that Moosy is a null for him, he town lists him

his "would lynch" list has two townies: me and mderg on it and nothing else

J Roc is on his town list because of "the posts I did about him" while it is only one post where he talks about J Roc, and that post is the "BTDT on RB is scummy", follows up when he's asked about it and actually likes that J Roc votes Scott.

Then, he settles on mderg, asks others to drop reads on him, keeps thread focused on mderg.

We got into a car accident today buying another vehicle (fucking my luck right?

We're out of the hospital now but my brain isn't playing mafia tonight - it checked out a few hours ago.

I took the day off work tomorrow so I'll read over then and give my thoughts.

And this is pretty much where it ends.

I will consider scott as a lynch candidate for the next days but I'm fairly certain we should give him the possibility to come back and play the game when this night is over. Shouldn't be next day's lynch (but don't nail me on that) but if nothing changes, I prefer to not have him in MYLO/LYLO or whatever it is.
