EPTThe main argument to defend Grack is that he could've failed the first mission and sharkie would've been blamed, but since that's what everyone would expect him to do as spy it's the perfect thing to pad your towncred with down the line. It creates a much higher chance to be on two missions.

That's not to say we feel SL is clearly town, but we're leaning ever so slightly in that direction. | ||

A mission like the last one would benefit a lot from not knowing whether Grack would vote for or against it if he's town, as it'd give a lot more information due to Grack's position as a potential tiebreaker. As a spy, however, it's in his best interests to let his team know that he wants the mission to pass. | ||

Now before we even knew if the mission was going to fail we had our two prominent nayvoters EC and super appear back into the game and post as if it were day one. For me that is way too big a coincidence to happen for both players. Sure I know I am the prime suspect of a spy for pretty much everyone in this game but neither of them posted that much after the first mission was approved and sent out (with me in the team). They only started talking so much when the 4man team was approved. Now of course they will cry vote analysis for this reason but my counter to that is they nayvoted the previous 3 man team too and yet they did not bother to cause such an uproar at that time. So EC, super: tell us why the 4 man team bothered you so much but the 3 man team you let pass quite easily without much rejections? Also I think SL and TW are still owing us explanations for yayvoting the 4man team although the team had people they accuse of being a spy. I don't even about this... | ||

Most people vote fairly similarly, just EC, sharkie and superbia have stuck out. Votes: Superbia, why have you voted against every single team so far? EC, can you take us through your vote process? Tumble, what would you have voted on attempt 3 of mission 1 if you were there? Thoughts at the time: mission 1, attempt 3: vote yay because my team, maybe tumble is scum -- can look to him if fails mission 1, attempt 4: vote nay because sharkie is maybe scum, and previous logic is bad mission 2, attempt 1: vote nay because based off of vca there is at least 1 scum on the 3 man team | ||

Rtani Soul is very Town. Not only because of the amount of analysis in the game, but the tone of the posting, the level of frustration, and they make no sense as scum with anyone on the failed mission. I thought Grack would never fail a mission with sharkie there to take the fall but I'm gonna stop using this kind of stuff to analyze and actually filter dive grack more. There are things from sharkie and Vivax that look pretty Town so I can't write either of them off as spies. Also, I want to look at that old resistance game so many of you were in. Will do this in a little bit-filter dive grack and look at that game. ~SilverWolf77 | ||

Suddenly Grack is everyone's favourite guy to hit upon? How can anyone turn from most trusted guy (wanted on the team by literally everyone) to the dumping ground of mistrust. And the most surprising thing out of all is how vivax and RT totally forgot their vendetta with each other and suddenly are best buddies (not saying that both of them are spies). I don't think I have ever seen anyone jump up so high in trust as vivax did while being in a failed mission. Everyone can imagine Grack being the mastermind from the shadows, manipulating everyone from day one. Yesterday most didn't even bother listening to what I was saying how good spies don't play it the conventional way and you believed that I have to be obvious spy 100% (with the exception of RT). If you can consider Grack being a spy then surely silver can be a spy too (not saying that they are but has to be kept in mind). Way too many people are ganging up on Grack (math wise). Also I even read how SL could be a possible resistance player, now that is one thing I cannot imagine at all. That guy doesn't care one bit about what is happening in the game. He doesn't even know who was sent out for the second mission.. Now I expect I get shit for defending Grack just like RT did yesterday for defending me... | ||

Sharkie, there's two reasons from my side. The first is that the reasons to townread Grack for me has always been what he's done rather than how he's done it. The two reasons to townread Grack beyond some of his content are that the first mission passed when he could've failed it and let the blame hit you, and that he scumread vivax when he could've joined the sharkie/rtan hate train. The first can be explained by the fact that if he's a spy, grack is probably their carry. Failing the first mission is more likely to get him scrutiny down the road as many people have used this argument to call him town. The second I believe comes from TMI. He knows you're resistance and reading what you've posted it looks really townie to him, plus it seems like something that spies are unlikely to do which has been the foundation of his townread. The second is that all the three others have done things I find much more unlikely to come from scum. Silverika has pushed the thread forward a myriad of times and his reads have been rigid at times yet flexible at others, most notably in their return just now where he got off the rtan/sharkie is def spies train to re-eval that. They aren't in a rush to draw a conclusion either. I went through their filter a bit yesterday and found it impossible to see a spy narrative there. Vivax is harder to explain and simple at the same time. He sucks at scum and unless he has a strong team is unlikely to try hard. Additionally, the weird things he's done just don't have the predictable townread consequences that grack has. Forcing yourself not to be on a team even when everyone TR's you doesn't make sense for scum. He also feels like he was way too smug about "catching" us which I have difficulty seeing coming from scum Vivax. | ||

Bleh. ^ cause i explained it to him  though to be fair, he's still very convinced sharkie is town (resistance whatevs) based on feels. but mainly it comes down to grack being so adamant that it must be vivax...as town i'd expect him to be more leery of the other two on the first mission with him, but instead he goes straight to it's the new guy!there's more spy motive to that than town...namely, if you say it's the new guy loud enough maybe no one looks to the original three This is false. I was suspicious of the original three during the day, unlike you It's also bullshit. The general consensus was that the spy was on the original team, and more specifically that the spy was sharkie. You're acting like the scenario was that everyone was just writing off the original team as scum free, when that just wasn't the case. But I do think that there is spy motive in you trying to demonize me for this when before you were saying that it was less likely for me to call Vivax as scum. Mostly based on how weak and inaccurate the bold statement is that caused you to flip that idea. | ||

Grackaroni is town reading the person who I view as obvious town instead of trying to push the blame onto him like Vivax/Silverika were doing? It must be TMI. He's just trying to get town read by doing things that spies are unlikely to do. Vivax attacks people for including themselves in their teams and then follows up by not including himself in his team? That seems like something that spies are unlikely to do, so he's probably town. Also I don't think the description of Vivax's scum play is entirely accurate. He had a strong scum game just recently in Haunted Mansion. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/513523-haunted-mansion-3?user=Vivax&page=5 | ||
