Is it weird that gell's death makes me less sure Skynx is scum?
Like in the case that Skynx is town then mafia killing someone pushing Skynx makes it look like he got killed for being on the right track. I've also been wondering if scum!Skynx would actually stick his neck out so far with the whole TRing Exo thing.
Idk, I'm deep in WIFOM territory on this one. Take it as you will. I actually feel more convinced that Skynx is scum given the increasing body of evidence against him. It's hard to tell given that the three main suspects have yet to defend themselves. I liked DF's recent posts enough to take him out of my shit-list. While I'm here, can you expand more on your Rels read? If you have other priorities then don't bother but I feel like I am too focused on Rels > Skynx and you said that you town-read him so I'd love to hear what you think. I actually don't like Darth's posts at all. It falls right in line with how I think scum would play if gell was killed to implicate Skynx. Idk tbh I'm starting to feel like this game is pretty solved from my POV, I just need to make sure I can backup my TR of Rels a little better, but my PoE is down to Skynx/Darth/Foreman. If skynx is scum his play has been just shit all game. I'd like you to expand on what parts of my posts you don't like. My thoughts on the mahrgell kill are that he was spewing town and had been universally townread (his last posts got me off of him). I made the point earlier that I thought mafia would try to buddy the first timer, and I think mahrgell picked up on that. I'm also town because I clicked through your 40 spoilers
Lol Ok you prob deserve some cred for that.
Actually looking over your posts again you do make pretty decent points.
Let me ride this train of thought a bit longer though, I'm having fun with it.

Ok doing at least one serious thing before I go raid in WoW (at least I think we are still raiding, a fair few ppl at blizzcon I think).
There are a couple of instances of Rels looking at past games to get some meta reads on people which I suppose scum could do just as easily as town, but I'd put more weight on it being a towny thing to do.

He also does this with gell and Darth later on.
This was the first thing that catches my eye.

Was no mention of Foreman prior to this, so it's really odd he's Rel's top town here.
I like this post, it's not really in scum!Rels' interest to make a post like this because he could pretty easily try to use Calix's strong scum play to keep throwing shade on her. This would be limiting his options if Rels is scum.

Unless the scum team is something like Rels/ NU or TT/ Rels or some shit then I've definitely fucked up somewhere. This is a townie post. Especially from someone with a strong scumgame who have 0 problem finding lynchbaits to push.
He does something similar with marhgell

It's WIFOM, but in mafia the simplest explanation is often the right one. 2. It removes ExO's ability to fakeclaim if he's scum, which is a great tool as scum, and even more in semi open setup like the one we're playing. Eh, I like this thinking but I think your first point is moot since Exo stated several times that he doesn't think his claim is bad for town. I'm actually seeing more of a disconnect between how much he talked about why he claimed and yet never realized why that claim might be bad.I suppose since this is a newbie game I should elaborate on why a VT claim is bad for town. Basically it makes mafia's side goal of killing off blue roles that much easier. If you are VT and claim it is essentially helping mafia blue hunt by narrowing the pool of people they want to look into. Why do you "like this thinking" if you admit that his first point is null and you don't respond to the second point? If it's all null or NAI, what is there to like? TT's discussion of Rels seems super off to me. I can indeed see a townish interpretation to what Rels said here and can see myself saying the same(stylewise, not in this specific case), so I disagree with you for now. But I would actually like Rels to answer this himself, to see if his motivation matches my thoughts. What do you want me to answer to ? I was referencing to a post you answered just before earlier: On November 04 2016 05:48 Rels wrote:On November 03 2016 23:41 mahrgell wrote: About Rels. I agree with basically none of his reads, pretty apparent with his 3 top town being my top scum. But there is one thing you can't blame him for: Trying to blend in. I would love to see him explaining his controversial reads.
Mainly I'm interested in: - why does he town NU - why does he town Foreman - I can see people not agreeing my concerns regarding foreman, but seriously, what has he done to make him a townread???) - what makes foley scummy? - "hates post" okay... Tell me more.
Share your thought process. I haven't seen any reasoning on those reads and admit they don't make sense to me. I townread NU mainly for a pretty bad reason: that he posted his "mafia metric" team. This is a pretty awful reason 'cause it's based on out-of-the-game thing but that's my main reason to believe NU is town. Outside of that his attitude is also pretty townie and matches the town meta I know of him. Foreman, I read a lot of posts where he was just blunt and not posting BS. I think his tone is super townie. DF I'll have to reread, I just thought his entrance post was super bad. More on everything when I'm caught up and can reread filters. Okay, I understand your NU point. I noticed this as well, but what struck me with that was something else: At the point NU posted it ( here)... not even a day had passed. In fact he claimed to have sent it during the night before. Well... At this point in time mafiametrics were supposed to be sent in every 24 hours. So either NU sucks badly at reading what cakepie wrote... Or he simply didn't read it because he isn't invited to participate in it anyway and used this badly prepared "towntell" for someone like you to pick it up. --- Foreman: I see where you are coming from, again. Honestly, if you are right, I would consider it rather sad, but I guess the "be a dick" meta is really the current thing. But here I still lack any attempt by Foremen to progress the game. Okay, let him be blunt, let him be the noBS type. But what did he contribute? At this point I actually question myself, as I seem to be the only one not liking Foremen. But I simply can't get it. All reasons for him to be town sound like yours "He doesnt give a fuck about others". Yeah, but maybe it would be a useful trait to actually give a fuck about others. --- DF: You were asked by others too, what struck you as bad about DFs initial post? I have enough reason to reconsider DF myself in the light of the latest posts, but while I didn't consider his first post as outstanding novelty, I didn't get the same shitty feeling you described having. --- Rels, yourself: Actually, I would like to hear more from you. At this point it looks like we are coming from very different angles. Our reads are still kinda diametral opposites. I could accept your Foreman and NU reasoning, also I explained why I think different. That thing about the first DF post feels off to me, so feel free to clarify. NU: I disagree, this kind of thing comes more often from town than not. And I had the proof last game that NU really plays like that as town. About the 24h thing, actually scum fakeclaims are in general way more clean than town fakeclaims. Foreman: well on a meta level I agree with you, but it is true regardless. Foreman's tone is townie. DF: read further and you'll find things. You're not a newb right ? Can you link to your own forum ? This is my first forum mafia game but I have RL mafia experience. If you really wish, this can be confirmed, but that is out-of-game stuff. About DF: I was specifically asking about your judgement on his first post. You mentioned several times you "hate it", disliked it etc.. If you have detailed this more in some answer, I missed it. Can you link me? I said, that the more recent DF posts have been changing my view, but I lacked the time to fully go over him again. Wow OK that actually changes my read on you completely. I'm having a very hard time seeing you as scum for your first ever forum game, under some pressure since almost the beginning of the game, and still posting as much and as detailed as you do. I actually remember my first game, I come from RL mafia too and I was like that, super analytic about everything. A pleasure having you on this forum then (= Gonna quote the DF stuff
Maybe I'm shit at reading but I think this is the first time Rels talks about his read on Foreman.

I hate TT's reads in p15 or something they are literally the worst. He deserves a vote but I'll touch on this a bit later on.
Exo's reads are quite bad aswell but less bad than TT.
Haven't read Rels yet.
Rest is bad and should feel bad for being able to spam this much and actually say nothing of worth. I'm gona vote for a stfu lynch on the biggest filter for now before i actually get a time to read in detail cuz this shit is unacceptable. Actually, his only real content were in his 2 huge wall posts. I disagree with pretty much everything he's said in it. A lot of it is just logical mistakes that are not scum tells.
I didn't feel like there was much to note about Rels' progression on Exo, though it still felt kinda natural to me.
By and large I still kinda like Rels's posting this game, he has some pretty good townreads and reasoning for them. I kinda like his progression in general, and think he's made a few reads that would limit his options unnecessarily if he is scum.
His lack of explanation about his Foreman TR is what worries me, especially since Rels otherwise seems to be being fairly careful with his townreads.

Well there is nothing really new going on here and I'm going to be out a good chunk of today anyways. Will make some time later this evening or tomorrow morning though.
It's quite possible my WIFOM about Skynx is just that and this is actually as easy as Foreman/Skynx. It's really tempting to think that because of their lack of, well anything today.

On November 07 2016 07:43 Skynx wrote: 3) meta cuz I just left a scumgame with exo as partner and it was totally different.
Why is this the first time you are mentioning this?
I would expect that kind of experience to be really enlightening with your read on Exo, and would mean you actually have some things that stand out to you about his play. When I skim your filter though I can't really find any insight in your mentions of Exo, just that he is somehow clearly town to you.
I'm also not terribly impressed with your case on NU. Most of the things you are calling him out for are things that you yourself have done this game, like trolling. Dropping votes with little reason is also not really very AI when you are pulling them out of context like you are doing. Town make weird votes and change them more often than scum tend to.
Also, this...
Key thing here is reason and logic. I hate hate players who defy all logic (*cough* Moosy *cough*) and love players who take it as a pillar of townplay (aka Koshi).
scares the hell out of me.

Yea this is kinda bleh.
I feel like I could go either way with Skynx's emo posts, but his actual content doesn't inspire much confidence. The case on NU looks more like he just grabbed posts out of NU's filter and threw in comments than a real read. The lack of any other reads is worrysome, no real explanation on why he thinks I'm town now (I think that's the case) or why he doesn't like Darth. There is also irony there since half his case on NU is that NU is dropping reads without giving reasons.
The only thing that is giving me pause atm, and it's more WIFOM thinking so take it with some salt, is that if the scumteam is Skynx/Foreman then why the hell is this game still going?

As for ExO, I missed #600. I'm not sure I agree. He says "I think ExO is scum but if he isn't then he's only a VT and is useless so he can die"
He thinks you're scum, ergo you're lying about being VT. All he does is rule out the possibility of you being TPR. I don't see inconsistency here. His wall posts don't line up with the mindset of somebody that considers themselves low hanging fruit.
This is a decent point to make about Skynx.
There was a couple other things too, but they are more or less in the same vein.
So,

You literally do not need to see if every single post comes from town/ mafia. You only need one post where someone makes a post that makes no sense for town to make and it's game over. Case closed. Alignment solved.
I don't actually give a shit which one dies today. I just can't believe that you think Skynx has a chance at being town.
I'm not sure why I'm suddenly getting cold feet, I still feel like I have decent reasons to TR everyone but them so I'm probably just being paranoid.
Stampeding through their filters right before lynch is prob not helping me much there either.

@Exo
You should try and work on your OMGUS reactions to people casing you, I feel like all your reads got tainted by that and made it really hard to see any thought going on besides that.
I'd also strongly encourage you to take Calix's advice next time. Spend less time defending yourself and more time trying to read people.
You did a decent job trying to spew yourself town at EoD but at that point with no content in your filter to back that up it's hard to put stock in your posts besides playing to stay alive.
Just my 2 cents, though I have to be honest I think I was pretty tunneled on you at that point and just wanted to see your flip.
