Yea I did that before posting, I'm a bit confused why you went from being uber-tunneled on Calix to suddenly considering her as town. I'll be honest, I was thinking you were lock scum up till this post but it gave me pause because I consider thinking about people from both alignments is a good town trait. However your posts seem more like you are just shifting focus away from Calix to another target but your read really hasn't changed. Right now I'd stick with my initial read that you are scum and attribute this shift to being told in your QT that you are tunneling too much. | ||

Exo and Foreman seem like the obv scum team to me atm. A little less sure on Foreman, but eh w/e. Exo is prob scum for his reaction to Calix's questions as well as him dropping the gif stuff. Calix was right to ask him why he dropped his "I'm gunna post in mostly gifs" kus the most likely reason why he would drop that plan is if he rolled scum and decided it would draw too much attn to himself. I think the fact the he only posted the one gif kinda supports that as well. Exo's push on Calix is pretty BS too, saying she is scum for "trying to get him to post gifs" is just stupid kus there is no way that is what she was implying. Not to mention that I don't think Calix would ever do that as scum either. After arguing with Calix a bunch all he did was call me scum for my one liner open. Seems like the obv lynch to me. ##Vote: Exo_ | ||

Skynx is a little shitter for trying to imply that this early game is NAI. This is prob the least jokey start of a game I have every seen. Kinda null on him despite his early posts seeming unlikely to come from scum imo. I kinda think NU is town but I'm not really sure why, just feels natural and relaxed I guess. In the same vein I kinda liked Dark's one post too so they are both townleaning nulls. | ||

This post, in three lines, is sending very mixed signals about his read on Foreman Look at Foreman's filter. Basically the whole first page is him tunneling Calix without really commenting on any other player (and Calix was not the only person being tryhard imo). Around the end of his first page of filter he suddenly suggests Calix might be town and thus gell would be scum. After that point I kinda like Foreman's posting a bit more. So yea my read is a bit wobbly but thats kus I'm getting mixed signals from Foreman myself. Overall though I'm still feeling like he's probably scum, just not that sure yet. Oh you also called out another post of mine I almost forgot to mention. It was when I responded to NU about VT's claiming VT, that was not reffering to Exo, was just a general statement. NU said something like "VT would never claim VT" which is not true. Personally I just disregard that initial claim, it's not really grounds for a read, though his later posts about it are fair game. | ||

I jumped on to Calix initially and continued to pressure him(her?) long after I thought she was scum. I do think the way he entered the thread was dumb and likely to inflame me. But his responses afterwards seemed very much from a towny perspective. I continued the pressure to see who would jump on the bandwagon with me in an attempt to press low hanging fruit. I'll look at it tomorrow, but NeverUnlucky/foreman are both going to be the first people I look at. Even if you had an amazing reason to push Calix I'm not sure she ever qualifies as "low hanging fruit" I think Skynx is currently holding the low hanging fruit award. | ||

I would like to hear more about those two in particular from Skynx and ExO. TT has already made it clear that he considers mahrgell 'a top town' and Foreman mafia while NU scum-reads mahrgell. Not so sure on his Foreman read although I'm inferring it's a town-read so he's welcome to elaborate there if I'm wrong. Anyway, this: ##vote mahrgell I've actually been rethinking that townread on gell ever since I asked him about his Exo read. I glanced through his filter and noted he kinda avoided discussing Exo despite generally giving what look to me like reasons to scum read Exo. Like here: On November 03 2016 07:49 mahrgell wrote: - overdefended against air from Calix - retaliation vote, I mentioned I dislike those - kinda stubbornly tunneled Calix - neither of those are good things, but can also be very emotional TvT. Judging this would be easier if I knew some meta. So postponing this read for now, especially as I have higher priority lynch targets. He lists 3 scummy things, but then suggests he thinks Exo is town? Also worth noting that he's had no issues scum reading Foreman despite not knowing any meta, so that line feels more like an excuse to not read Exo. I think Darth also pointed out this response and how gell just left the meta thing as an excuse without bothering to try and get a meta read if that's what he feels is valuable. This was all associative though so I was kinda setting it aside unless we got a red flip from Exo. Who I still think is the better lynch atm. | ||

But he gets some tryhard points for reading Outlaw just to get that one meta read. mahr, summarize why Foreman and I are scum. Actually what he did is the proper way to make a meta read imo. It's meaningless to say "I think player X is scum kus meta" but if you backup that meta-read with examples and reasons it becomes more valid imo. @gell I don't believe in meta myself so I have nothing to add really. I'd say that since he just rolled scum it makes the whole "not wanting to post gifs to not draw attn to himself" thing I mentioned before stronger, but that's about it. | ||

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. | ||

I don't feel like comparing the games is a good way to read Rels though, I've seen him be lackluster as town when he doesn't have much time and super active and involved as scum when he does. Giving it more thought I might actually give Rels a slight townlean because as scum I think he'd be more worried about how he presents his reads, here it is more like he's just sharing what he's got so far. | ||

He has to retaliate here otherwise people will accuse him for not going after shitty pushes. This is pretty out of context. First Calix saying she wasn't scumreading him has nothing to do with his defense since Calix said that much later (I also have no issues with her pointing out something she doesn't like, calling it illogical or w/e, and then not scumreading the person for it. I actually shows deeper thinking imo). Second, of course anyone is going to defend themselves, it's about how they do it. Exo took 2 questions from Calix as some kind of immense pressure to make him post gifs (what?) and called her scum for it. That's overblown no matter how you look at it. Exo is scum for dropping the gif stuff > So you actually suggest him trying to be pro-town implies he did it because he rolled mafia is absolute OMGUS. I stand by my assessment. Him changing his stance from "I'm gunna post gifs and have fun" to "I'm gunna claim VT and get all serious about shit" is far more likely to come from someone who rolled scum and doesn't want to draw attention for posting mostly gifs. You clearly don't know what OMGUS is. Middle ground on me, calls me shitter, unlikely to come from scum, in the end null. If above two are town for pushing the game forward by a clear margin for you, why am I not an as clear scum for doing the absolute opposite?? You could be, but similarly to my thinking on Exo your early play was openly drawing attn to yourself which is not usually what scum want to do. I alluded to that somewhere. These don't make any sense. Two lists of opinions about people after a long silence and they are all meaningless/wrong. How does any of that make me scum? And long silence? How are you going to accuse me of taking a long silence when you've spent the whole first half of the phase just complaining about reading and only now getting around to posting substance... Your other post was decent, but you can stay floating in null/scum territory for this. | ||

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? The 2nd point was what I liked. Ticktock says two lines before that you shouldn't compare games with Rels, because of his variability, then gives him a slight townlean based off of what can only be characterized as meta analysis off of previous games. Why would you think his scum play is likely to play out one way or another when you've just admitted that he has various playstyles? I was mostly just saying comparing that game to this one prob wasn't a good way to try and read rels. The other point is my opinion of how Rels plays, take it or leave it, it's speculation hence why I said it's weak. Not trying to rehash everything, but IMO saying it's illogical for town to do something, worded in that way, implies a mafia lean to some extent. TT, can you explain, how it shows "deeper thinking" and why that deeper thinking indicates Calix to be town? Kus it's really easy for scum to go, "Thats illogical! Contradiction! Scum!" but as we all know town acts illogically and contradict themselves plenty often. Trying to find out what caused that by asking questions is that deeper thinking, not pigeon holeing someone based off one silly thing (see Exo or Foreman's push on Calix for examples there). The green implies that TT should be townreading Skynx, and maybe even ExO for doing things "mafia normally wouldn't do" (i.e. drawing attention to themselves early), yet he flips in the next paragraph to saying his opening was scummy for being silent? You can't have it both ways. I was saying he stays in the null scum/territory for me kus of the overall post, not just that last point. A lot of his reasons for scum reading me felt disjointed and the last bit was all BS. How were my reads wrong (especially when he brought up similar points to me on people)? And why would my reads being "wrong" make me mafia? etc etc You might ask why I don't have the same reaction to your post here, but I just get the sense that you don't get my way of thinking/posting rather than putting things together that don't make sense (like the "long silence" thing). | ||

Re-evaluate when you are less likely to jump on the OMGUS train or just stay confirm biased. Right now you are just blowing up every little thing you take issue with and are warping what was said to fit your thinking. Calis didn't say "I think he's mafia, so I will ignore the posts he makes that could make me think he's town." she basically said, "I think he's mafia but I want to ignore his posts for now so I can evaluate him later more objectively" Like I've said a couple of times already the two of you get so riled up over how you treat each other it makes half of what you say meaningless. | ||

On November 04 2016 05:09 Calix wrote: Eh? Your first line is correct. Skynx claims that he acts scummy to see who goes for the low-hanging fruit as a town tactic. Your conclusion is making me scratch my head. I don't see how learning about Skynx' play-style -> thinking he'd replicate it as scum -> entrance posts are null. Because I was giving his early posts a townlean because he was drawing attn to himself and scum tend to not want to do that. However if Skynx has an established meta (and more importantly is self aware of it) of playing scummy at the start of the game to draw attention then my initial thinking no longer applies. Scum!skynx would go out of his way to act scummy at the start simply to replicate that aspect of his townplay. And thinking about it more this was it would make Skynx's early posts make more sense if he is scum trying to replicate his bad start of day play. Stuff like calling the entire early game NAI, and complaining about reading constantly make a bit more sense coming from scum trolling than town trolling. However this is prob a line of thought that only makes sense to me. | ||

The only one which I can see for ExO is: scum!ExO sees Calix's question -> scum!ExO thinks that he can use the question to spin a scum narrative on Calix -> scum!ExO goes hard on Calix in hopes of starting a bandwagon -> scum!ExO goes in too deep and gets a shitload of unwanted attention on him -> scum!ExO retires from the thread until attention goes away before he retracts his Calix scum-read. I feel like the townie explanation is a bit simpler though. I'm seeing it more like he rolled scum after just getting out of a game as scum so drops his gif plan and instead claims VT. You start questioning him him about it and he can't think of a good explanation. So instead he fakes some OMGUS and makes up some BS about you trying to get him to post gifs. Later he backs off this push claiming it was for reactions (but never followed through with that) and then decides to sheep skynx's case. I'm really not seeing the town narrative, hence why I think he is scum. | ||

I'm not even just talking about this game either. Also you can ague this point to death if you want. My read on you is pretty independent of your claim, though at this rate your filter is just gunna be you talking about it. | ||

I don't really like it and the point which I found the most interesting from him is something that you claim was a joke. (I think) Thats actually kinda my point, town!Exo could have said the same things, or started posting gifs to joke around. What did we see? Him getting butthurt that you called him out for not posting Gifs and attacking you for it. | ||

It makes a ton of sense though, kus you've been really weird about your reads on both myself and Exo. You townread Exo forever without ever having reasons to (you even said yourself, you just didn't see the scum modivations but didn't have any reasons to TR him). Most of pages 30-40 you keep talking like you could go either way on me and keep telling people to look at the case on me, never try to come to much of a conclusion yourself. You also made that really paranoid response when I asked you about your townread on Exo. The more I've thought about it the more it makes sense. | ||

Anyways some reads that are a bit less in flux. Just going off the top of my head. Town: Rels + Show Spoiler + I stated earlier that I felt like Rels was just dropping his thoughts into the game and that suggested to me that he's town. As he's put time into the game I just get more and more of that feeling. Pretty sure he is town. mahrgell + Show Spoiler + Overall just pretty genuine and seems to be invested in solving the game. Sorry nothing particular is coming to mind, just tone and feels I guess. NeverUnlucky + Show Spoiler + Just seems to be too all over the place and emotional to be scum imo. Idk just feels really geniune in how he goes back and forth on peopleI also actually like Rel's point about NU trying to mod confirm himself, but I also hate to reward that behavior. Nullish: Foreman + Show Spoiler + Probably my most null read. I don't feel like he's brought much to the table or done anything that makes me think he is town. Similarly though nothing really suggests to me that he is scum, besides the fact that he kinda ignored half the game early on while tunneling Calix. darthfoley + Show Spoiler + Honestly just haven't spent much effort reading Darth. What I have read makes me lean town on him just for general read progression and putting good thoughts out there. Skynx + Show Spoiler + I appreciate the effort Skynx has been putting in during the latter half of this phase, though it seems like we are reading different games. Tempted to put him down as scum but I'm wondering if he's just tunneled and I'm feeling like it's unlikely he is scum with Exo atm. Scum: ExO_ + Show Spoiler + I think I've said plenty about Exo, and there is nothing new to note. | ||

Especially the way TT came back into the thread last night and ignored the progression of my posts to make a point. He strung a bunch of posts together that were very far apart to make me look horrible. either way I think at least one of you two should know better. Which makes me think at least one of you is scum. This isn't OMGUS, this is my honest thoughts. There was no progression to talk about. You just spouted out scumreads. | ||

I'm tempted to compare how I reacted to being mislynched last game to how Exo is going about this EoD. Not sure that's a fair comparison though. Really I just can't see town modivation in any of his play and that's not changing with all the appeal to emotion he's dropping now. | ||

He somehow thinks that ExO overreacting to my question, being overly defensive and lashing out at me is something that...will NOT get ExO a shit-load of attention...? He has to think that. Why? - He scum-reads ExO. - He claims that scum don't like attention and that ExO didn't post gifs because he didn't want attention. - Therefore he has to think that ExO's reaction was intentionally designed to not get attention onto ExO. Here's what I found: How does anyone think that attacking me and getting salty are things that won't draw attention to ExO? My god you are digging so deep into this, and I thought we went over it already. Exo's scumread on you was pure reaction, even when I thought he was scum I thought that. I never thought it was some grandly designed post, it was basically just like the rest of Exo's reads which were just "Fuck you for scum reading me". I really don't get why this argument keeps coming up, there was a very clear difference between Exo's early posting and Skynx's early posting. I'm not going to use the same metric/logic/whatever when I feel like there is a clear difference in the posting. If you are going to keep up this line of thinking you should actually relook at their opening posts and tell me why I should have blindly used the same logic with both of them. Then you should explain why I, as scum, would even bother suggesting skynx might be town for drawing attn to himself rather than just let him draw that attn and push him along with Exo... which I did anyways. The TLDR of this is Exo's posts looked like he was just reacting and trying to step up to play seriously after you questioned him, Skynx responded to pressure with more bullshitting. Not the same posting, not using the same logic, hence my read was different. Please scum read me for better reasons, talking about the same point over and over gets old. | ||

@ NU Discussing reads at night is fine, though I'll admit sometimes it's tempting to wait for Day phase for the extra flip and thus info. If you are of the line of thought that Scum are going to choose their NK target based on who is getting too close to the solution at night... Meh. That's actually not usually how scum pick NKs. | ||

Yes, I'm still salty when he made up shit like me "using OMGIS" after I responded to a very clear question.... But overall his filter reads really good and I can follow his line of thought. But in the evening I actually marked myself one post of him, which stuck out. Like probably the main post I got bad vibes from him. It was this one. Reading it from the filter doesn't make it special, but reading it fom thread progression is different. What really annoyed me there was, that at the time the post was made, the convo was basically all on Exo. I felt I had defended all of DF's attacks on me quite well and those issues should be solved. Yet he comes in, during the Exo convo, and feels like throwing in shit at me again and try to distract the exo train. If Exo_ would have flipped red, I think I would have went after DF for this post alone. But Exo_ was green. I simply can't see a mafia doing that post at that time in the thread, when they should be jerking off in mafia QT how great this mislynch is doing. I guess if it spawns a LynchTownExo vs LynchTownMahrgell debate this could be somehow still okay for Mafia, but... why risk votes scattering and who knows what happens next? At this time the EoD was still rather far away. So DF townlean for me now. This strikes me as incredibly towny. It's a really roundabout way to come up with a townread on Darth and is the type of thinking that is almost exclusive to town. | ||

Calix NU Marhgell Rels + Show Spoiler + Calix's case on him actually isn't terrible, and I should prob reread Rels but I'm unlikely to do it this phase. My gut read on him is pretty strongly town, I followed his read progression pretty well and all his thoughts feel genuine to me. A little less sure on Darth, but I feel l can follow his reads and thoughts really well. Scum: Skynx: What stands out in my mind is how Skynx had such a strong townread on Exo that it was a large part of his case on me. However I don't recall Skynx ever really explaining this read past the fact that he thought Exo's defense was "his right" or w/e. I said it EoD, and it still feels like TMI to me now. Gell's case on Skynx is also really good, and is pretty damn sheepable imo. Foreman: Overall just unimpressive. Spent a long time attacking Calix for "try-harding" without looking at anyone else, transitioned to townreading Calix and scum reading gell in a really odd way. I liked a couple of posts but he dropped off really hard. So it's kinda PoE at this point that leads me to think Skynx/Foreman is the scumteam, but there are some good reasons, and a good case, why Skynx should prob be the lynch tomorrow. | ||

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.

It looked like he was making an impromptu case on ExO and that he was scavenging for reasons to still scum-read him to ignore the town tone ExO conveyed.

Well you are on a similar level of tinfoil thinking to me atm. I see your point, but in my experience mafia don't like to kill off people who are right because it adds to much creedence to their cases. Skynx's position was not great already, I really doubt he'd want to add to that by killing someone who cased him hard at night. At least thats how my WIFOM thinking about this is going. | ||

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.

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.

To compare with Foreman, it looks like Skynx is trying to appear not caring, while Foreman just doesn't care and wite stuff that he thinks. And I know weaker scums tend to do that after losing scumgames 'cause it's easier to play. And I know Skynx is not a very good scum player.

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. | ||

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. Also I'd like to take a second and give some mad props to Cake's hosting. Not only has she been including links to everyone's vote and unvote in each VC but now reminding people about DST changes? ![[image loading]](https://media2.giphy.com/media/3o7TKrugYn6cXQAMTK/200w.gif#11) | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

My dilemma here is that I don't really have good reasons to think Skynx might be town just a few things that make me question if he is actually mafia. I also think a Skynx/Foreman team is pretty possible given their interactions. So, I think I'm just going to leave my vote on Foreman. | ||

Yea I know, but they aren't in a very winnable position given we still have potential blue actions to help. It's also very possible it is them and they are just holding out to see if we get cold feet. So yea, it's WIFOM I maybe shouldn't bring to the table. | ||

Pretty unusual for scum to question people's townreads on them, especially since this would be Foreman's first scum game here. On November 04 2016 06:02 Foreman wrote: 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.

There is no overarching town motivation behind his posts and his meta doesn't match up to his town meta. Also don't see how being passive-aggressive is a town tell. 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. | ||

Then the game will actually become interesting again and there'll be more discussion. If there is a chance than one of them is town in your mind, shouldn't we lynch Foreman since Skynx is at least posting content? albeit not much | ||

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. | ||

I was a little paranoid when Foreman posted something about me not thinking about Exo possibly claiming VT as a blue. Other than that though I feel like I'm hard to pickout as a blue kus I really don't put that much stock in it. At least I'm not an easy blueread when hosts don't PM half the game my checks ^.^ | ||

Skynx I think it was clearly just your poorly explained TR on Exo combined with most of your content being in WoT form. If you had brought up some decent meta reasons on Exo based on your last game prior to this last phase your TR would have been alot more believable imo. Foreman, I think you played decent mostly you just fell off too hard later on. Your insta-tunnel on Calix right off was pretty weird but you pulled out of it well enough. Hell you had a lot of people TRing you on tone and I backed off as well till you came up in my PoE. I also like that you guys tried to make some of the distancing plays you did, some room for improvment on em (they were a little too soft and forgotten too easily) but I like the effort. @ Skynx I feel like your scum game is much improved since I last saw you roll scum. | ||
