Well questions

are you town? - Yes
how long have you played mafia? - About three games? I've been playing on not this site.
do you play elsewhere and if so where? - Yes, on GPRO.net
What is your typical play style? I normally play very analytical, using logic and information posted
how do you scumhunt/townhunt? I find contradictions in the player via keeping careful notes on everyone
do you know anyone here that you can read very well? nope, first game on the site

About to go do a re read through, because Onegu hasn't posted anything of note since the game started (by of note, I mean anything I took note on)

I thought I voted for Onegu, is the page 10 vote count wrong or did I or did I format it wrong?

Okay, so after catching up, I have a few things to respond on.

First, as to why I am not more active, is that I have not a whole lot of time to play mafia during the week, so what I am doing is catching up, responding to everything I feel needs a response, giving my reads, then getting back off. You may flame me for this, but unless it's the weekend this will be how I play. I do have a life you know, but mafia is a lot of fun (which is why I wanted to play it).

As to why I voted Onegu (asked three times, by my count), he has made a claim (with the first post of the game) and then posted a non informative post. That's all he has done. I wanted to see what happens if he gets a bit of pressure on him, but after this amount of time I feel that he is just inactive.

On to my reads, Kmatt feels very much a scummy player to me becuase he is posting quite a bit now, but it doesn't feel like he is accomplishing anything. DarthFoley seems waaaay too defensive, so that seems odd, but I'll keep looking at him so I can get a more solid read. Vivax and MichaelEhrmantraut seem a bit off. Nothing suspicious, but just a bit not quite correct to me. This is more of a gut read than anything else, so I'll be doing a reread (probably today) for just them to see what's up.

Oh, a vote on me! Well, my entrance was terrible, I do admit, but I did address why I did not follow up on Onegu (I just voted to see if he was here, apparently not). I also admit that I am not the most active right now, that's just due to real life. Just read my post here, but the TLDR is REAL LIFE limits my weekday activity.

Oh I'm definately going to switch my vote, I'm just torn as to who. As soon as I can finish my read throughs, I'll post again about my reads. One more note, tommorrow I won't be online until about 2 hours before the deadline. I am sorry about this, but real life takes up a lot of my time.

Onegu, my vote on you was to try and spur you into action. If I said, "Oh I'm voting Onegu to see if he'll be active" then it's not a good pressure vote.

She is town because she was the first to call Boston out. And then the back and forth with Vivax doesnt come from scum. Never Never Never. More so in a newbie game as someone who never played with most of the people in this game.

Let me just point out that this does not satisfy the requirements set forth, that you have now failed to meet the burden of proof, and you are dodging the question entirely.

Grack are you trying to cause conflict deliberately. This looks like a scum thing to do because it causes disorder and chaos. Instead of trying to get leads it devolves into a huge argument over burden of proof. I argue to any townie please do not fall into this trap.

This is an excellent point, one that I hadn't considered. I'll keep reading with this in mind.

Also update on a few reads, Vivax and Michael seem off to me still, but I can't put my finger on it.

well I think that since Grackaroni was Counter Claimed I best put my vote on him. Shame as I was leaning town on him.

And yes I'll be much more active now that it is the weekend.

And I was town reading Grack mostly because I didn't notice anything overly suspicious other than creating confusion. This isn't something that I normally lynch people for.

Michael, your posts just seem.... off, in a way. I can't put my finger on it, but you seem wrong to me.

Also Grack, it was mostly a gut feeling more than anything else. You were playing stupidly, but it was a town sort of stupidity.

It's almost entirely gut feel, but okay..

so with B0stonSC bandwagon-ing onto someone's scum-read of me, when all I have done is posted thrice.


This feels super defensive and is wrong. I wasn't bandwagoning, I was just saying you felt off.

1. no
2. back in the day
3. no
4. ?
5. ?
6. nope


This, while not inharently AI, seems weird to me. I don't know you well enough to use this as a meta read, jokingly saying "oh I'm scum" to throw people off. I don't know you well enough, but this has happened in one of the games of mafia I've played. People just assumed the guy was Town only because he had been playing for a long while, and jokingly said "oh I'm scum." when asked during day 1.

So nothing that is a good case, but just a bit of explanation for my gut feeling.

Okay Everyone right now I'm super torn. I feel that BTDT should be lynched, because he was a total idiot. However, I also think that is a waste of a lynch when the Scum team is (in my humble opinion) ME and KSC (don't know who the third is). But if I say, "oh let's not lynch BTDT" and he turns out to be scum, then I'll look bad, and will probably get lynched next. This is just what I feel the best play is for us, not lynching BTDT just yet. But since most of you seem to disagree with me, I don't think I'll be changing any minds.

Well for ME he hasn't been very active, and he doesn't give reads or really push the game forward at all. This seems counter intuitive to the goal of town players (push the game forward and solve the game). And, as we all know, the opposite of town is scum, hence my thoughts on him. For KSC he has posted less than three serious posts, with lots of posting being done.

I think you're being selective here on how you scum-hunt (ME/ yourself and KSC/ Onegu).

I wouldn't say you are much better than ME and if you disagree then you should explain why that's the case. I get that you two are new and are struggling in some respects regardless of alignment but I think it's strange that you are calling out ME for that of all reasons.

Does your KSC logic also apply to Onegu? If not, what are the differences between the two of them in your eyes?


Yes it does apply to Onegu, but I'm not too terribly worried about him, and I know I am struggling, but I am trying my best.

B0ston:

He votes for Onegu and calls him suspicious. Later says it was just pressure. This is a conflicting read and if he wanted to pressure Onegu, he should of asked. This comes off as nervous scum worried about voting for someone.

Spends a good chunk of time explaining his lack of activity and really he does this too much and is making too many excuses not to do anything.

Acts very nervous and defensive over the first vote on him.

He calls a lot of people off but never elaborates, it's like he's having trouble explaining any of his reads or reasoning because he can't.

His point on not calling someone town for saying they are scum actually is fine. I agree with it.

Argues against lynching btdt but says he's worried it would make him look bad-he shouldn't be worried about it if he's town.

I do have a scumread here but overall his filter is very weak with not much in it so I'm gonna go with null scum.


The reason I said Onegu was suspicious is because in my little experience, saying "Oh I'm voteing you because you need pressure" generally doesn't give any pressure.

This is from force of habit, as in the games I've played lack of activity and constant reading the thread gets you lynched without good reason (first two games I've played)

Well, can't really change or argue this.

I try and explain, it's just that a lot of my reads are gut feels instead of a solid reason. I then look for a reason, but my brain thinks their fine while my gut disagrees.

I am worried because if BTDT comes off as scum, then I might be lynched for defending my scum buddies.

And one thought I've had about SW and ika is that what if they are both scum, and pushing townie lynches. Then I realize that if this is the case, then we are super screwed.

I'm hesitent of her due to the fact that you two could easily run the game together. But I agree on lynching ME, for several reasons. He seems super defensive, tried to skate by without any serious interaction for a long while, and he hasn't been (in my opinion) pushed the game forward at all...

I woul disagree with Calix, and replace him with ME, (and I'll post why later. Need to get my arguement together for this one) but Onegu and darthfoley I would agree with.

Also ika I'll the points where I thought I was trying to push the game forward (though you'll probably disagree with me) after I finish getting my arguement for Calix being town together.

Now, while I am filter diving, what were everyone's thoughts on KSC? Was he scummy enough in your books to deserve a lynch?
