Once again hello and like the proverbial Santa Clause I have brought a most interesting gift that I wish the thread to take a stance on and give their thoughts, and gut leanings.

Firstly I read the Grackaroni and Oatsmaster exchanges and did not think much on it but as I was checking filters something very interesting popped out on me.

The interesting thing is how Grackaroni treats Oatsmaster to start with and how he ends up treating him.

I'm going to give a read that I don't think too many people will agree with but I think Oatsmaster is mafia.

In this game he seems less chill compared to Hurricane and I get the sense in a few posts that he's questioning things that look unusual rather than things that I think he would normally find scummy.

Can you explain why a townie wants to pocket people to survive?

I left links so you can decide for yourself between the first two pages of each game, but it seems to me like he cares more about his image in this game than the other one. (he was town in hurricane.)

We first have his original read on Oats, it was novel at the time. He has something original to show the thread and does so, it gains him some surface town credit from several members of the town.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing, so can you explain how he looks different in the first two games compared to this one?

I'm going to guess that Oats is town in that game you linked and check before I post. Yeah ok HF/Damdred/Onegu were scum but obviously town is always a more likely guess since more people roll town.

I do think he looks pretty different in both of those games in the way that he accuses people. In those 2 he throws out accusations without much fanfare.

Hello, I am glad to be here playing with you fine people. Damdred speaks highly of everyone here, and I hope the game is enjoyable.

I have two things that came to mind when I read what little of the game there is.

1) Grackaroni opening post, to put it bluntly is trash. At the same time he says nothing of value and tries to buddy fecalfeast (I assume) into making an alliance when it is impossible for him to know alignments.

Unless he is mafia, which associative read incoming means FecalFeast is more likely town for the way Grackaroni interacted with him.

2) I have come up with a pretty simple plan how to approach d1.

Step one: The marksman (vig), should claim as soon as town agrees with this plan (which they should).

Step two: We should use this power as a second lynch and have a vote in thread to direct the power.

Step three: Mafia is more than likely forced into a situation where they must let the Vigilante shoot and kill him, or roleblock him. The simplest solution is to put the watcher on the Vigilante N1.

Step Four: The medic should be off doing medic things more than likely on another target, if the mafia send the godfather and kill the Vigilante nothing is lost, if they roleblock him we instantly have a one and one trade.

Step Five: I assume medic cannot protect multiple nights in a row, therefore if the Vigilante survives the medic should protect him here and the Watcher should look elsewhere.

This plan gives us the most information that we can control and boxes the mafia into only a few moves they can make early in the game.

I think we should follow this plan.

I am unsure why you have me as mafia Oatsmaster, could you expound on why you think that?

Vivax why is directing blues in that way not pro-town? We would gain a good bit of information by controlling multiple lynches or kp, and have confirmed town for multiple days leading the town towards a strong circle.

mainly because having a second lynch really doesnt matter.

With HF there's a decent chance he actually just said it cause he did it as mafia just last game and he thinks it's funny to mess with the reads on him. But for Koshi I see no such excuse.

I'm the towniest of all. Also, I'm pretty sure that Koshi is mafia. His post towards you and asking about Damdred's townread is pretty out of place. As Town, you love to lynch stupid; it's like your kryptonite. But as mafia you have much less of a hardon for stupid from what I've seen and just push 85% bullshit. Koshi not getting this after the last two games is pretty odd; especially since Tina brought it up in generic and Koshi was bussing her at various points.

geript doesnt actually care about getting koshi lynched. He just wants to sidetrack town.

It's not exactly true...

From Generic:

The thing is that during the last abortion of a game, when I was reading TW (in MS Paint Judge mafia) I was comparing him to older games to get can idea of any other meta reads I could use to push him. It's something that I noticed from his town play and something that HF picked up and agreed with in the game.

[quote]
A few things here:
1. Only bad mafia hate early townreads. Like it's often quite easy to call someone town, move them into a situation where they look bad, rescind the townread and push them for lynch. I am not bad mafia.
2. LS in at least 1 game (though as far as I remembered multiple games) as scum has mimicked his "town puppy" persona to get townread and survived until endgame on it. Passing around a bad read is on the other hand makes it easy for scum to blend in. Hell, last game I basically literally just took what town was already thinking, repackaged it into nicer, newer, and better thinking and sold it as my own.

[quote]
[quote]
Who's getting mad about early townreads now Koshi? Koshi is scumreading me for scumreading him for not townreading rayn. Silliness aside. Hold with me, it's a bit circuitous but it's here. I've made it quite obvious on numerous occasions that I fucking hate playing scum when HF is town; as such, when I'm scum I basically become his thread bitch because I don't know how else to buy time in order to gain control of the thread until I get to NK HF. But the same is not true of Rayn. I know how to fuck with Rayn's head as mafia; I know what he looks at and looks for and can throw out a hook to get him super distracted. 1. As mafia, I gain nothing by giving Rayn an early townread and actually surrender thread control; which btw, I don't do as mafia (except for HF or maybe Marv but Marv because he's a fucking sexy beast). So his argument is not only bad, it's also incorrect. Vivax I haven't really played with in a while and I haven't had a correct read on him for a long time. Damdred I read town for how he reads people with "Damdred" reads and how he shows specific lines of thinking as town that he doesn't as scum. HF I read based on what he's pushing and why he's pushing; it's kinda a feels read but mostly based on him pushing "good things." Rayn I read based on what he's pushing and how he pushes; he likes to lynch bad as town and picks up on completely different things as mafia (example the Judge game where almost every time he came in the thread he pushed stupid shit that was bad). 2. When I make a read on Rayn for doing town!Rayn things, it's me being scum. When I don't comment on things about Vivax, HF, or Damdred because I'm either lacking any way to accurately read them (Vivax), I haven't seen them do things to read them town yet (Damdred), or I'm getting mixed vibes from (HF), then I'm scum. When I post about Koshi, I'm both scum for something not triggering me to post something about him AND scum for posting what I posted. Like, that's a pretty fucking weird argument for Koshi to be making at the same time; he's usually a bit more lazy as scum, and arguing both sides of the coin in the same post is pretty fucking weird for Town!Koshi to do. 3. Come at me bro

3/20

Yes I know I fooled people in the past in 2 of my scum games but Damdred usually gets me right except a few times when he either almost gets me mislynched or actually got me lynched on shannies. Damdred helped me a bit on my scum game I will tell you that as he was in a scum team with me where we almost won had it not been for sicklucker not giving a shit for a couple of cells (Cell Millionaire). Trust Damdred's read on me.

Its interesting(scummy) how he says "trust" damdred's read when he doesnt know damdred's alignment. Or does he???

On August 25 2017 08:39 LightningStrike wrote:
Side note I think Damdred could be town this game as well as rayn and Koshi just need them to stop fighting each other.

Also this is a pretty big "side" note that LS just brushes under. He isnt trying to find mafia, hes just going with the status quo and waiting for things to happen.

No idea but the idea is so abstruse to think of as mafia that I have to take it at face value.

Uneccesary town read without an alternative.

possible mafia.

In this game I get the sense that he's putting on more of a show of pressuring people and looking useful.

I don't see it grack. His tone is no different this game than from those games you quoted.
Is your main issue that he doesn't use the word "Mafia" when calling out people?
Because I think that is a weak argument when the message is still delivered with the same intention, tone and intensity.

Well you're either going to see it or you won't. I do think there is a noticeable difference in Oats' posting and it's not just that he didn't say mafia like he did in those other two games.

I have choosen to show the larger quote of the conversation between RuxXar and Grackaroni. Grackaroni is sure about his read on Oatsmaster and tries to convince based off of past tonal differences and approach to the game.

At this point I do not see anything really bad about the approach.

so why do you use a meta read to townread someone when you have no idea how they would play as mafia???
TMI??!?

Grack wasn’t metareading ruxxar as town there, he was jut statig ruxxar was the only one silly enough to vouch drawing suspicion as a good town play. Not really seeing where you saw him draw a metaread conclusion

This.

I wasn't calling him town in that post. I was saying that only he could possibly think that doing that would be a good idea.

but "good town plan" implies that you think hes town.
Like come on dude. Stop waffling.

Otherwise it would be "xx scum plan".

I don't know why I always have to have these arguments with you when they always revolve around you not being able to understand a post.

Here's what he said:

"To me there's two ways to solve the game.

There's the active way, were you make reads, pressure and push people.
This is what people refer to when they say "Solving the game". Aka what oats is doing.

Then there's the passive way, where you make yourself vulnerable and allow people to push you.
This requires you to make yourself a target that people want to engage with, by performing actions that people find dubious."

I said that he would be the only one who could possibly think that this would be pro-town because it's a silly way to play and not pro-town.

but if hes mafia he doesnt think its protown and therefore you think hes town because you believe that he thinks he is doing something protown

It could be that he's town and think it's smart town play or he could be mafia and still think that it's pro-town or maybe he just got a lot of attention as mafia and thinks that is a passable excuse.

I think no matter what he thinks it's a reasonable sentence, but I wasn't really trying to place any particular inference onto the post.

Oats do you like your Ruxxar vote?

Now, his approach and tone towards Oatsmaster has completely changed. He is speaking to him and with him as if he is town and is trying to figure out common ground that they can work on.

Grackaroni vote is still on Oatsmaster, he has tried to convince people that Oatsmaster is scum. But the approach he takes towards him does not make sense for someone with a scum read on said person.

Oatsmaster nonresponse to Grackaroni posts is interesting as well. But its not quite uo to the level I just pointed out.

Do you plan on ever calling someone scum, or are you just gonna keep saying stuff is "interesting?"

While I appreciate your thoughts on that matter if you would turn your attention to what I actually wrote and give a word or two om that it would be appreciated.

To me it just seems like Grack is not confident in his read, as no one seems to really be backing him up

Show nested quote +

I don't know how scum Grack plays, but it seems pretty bad to pin someone as scum and do a soft "I'm might be backing out of this read b/c now I'm unsure with no one agreeing with me"

Later both mafia call him not interesting / to be ignored

Damerion is pretty lackluster this game. no idea why. Grack-oats interaction wasn't as interesting as he insinuated it to be.

Damdred is doing nothing per usual even though he thinks he is lynch-invincible. I don't like him.

I'm not lynching Onegu since he came like 1 hr before lynch and shennani'd scum in the first game I played coming back

FF's posts are shit and he does nothing, but doesn't mean much since he was like that the game I lynched him. I'd lynch Xen over him, if it came to it.

ruxxar seemed good, but now he's AFK. need you to get off HF and figure out scum with me instead of parking on HF.

I'm never gonna townread HF, but he looks better than every single one of you except DF maybe

FF/Xen for lynch today. Otherwise Damerion.

Maybe spite lynch damdred for supposed lynch invincibility claim he made..

On openings. There are 2 I didnt like.

Ruxxar and Damerion. Ruxxar seemed way to happy. Like way to happy, seemed off to me.

And Damerion was like lets not talk about roles but here is what you should do. Also to wordy. Seemed like he wrote it proof read it thought about it and posted it. Not really a way town thinks./ plays.

Like damdred feeling off about ruxxar says people who make him laugh but the fact he said something first I like.

Boom Oats comes in and slams Rux. I like oats.

HF says the same about Damer I like HF

Damdreds hard defend of Damer I find odd. Like he agrees he is playing different from the previous game but not enough different feels really off now with this defense.

Boom MrLonelyClock hits on Damerion. I like this newbie. He is somewhere inbetween the blue and yellow also!

Ugg but then he just is ok on Damer after one small post. TT why you do this. You null now.

Then votes with oats on Ruxx. Which I do like at this point.

I also like happykrogen at the moment. his response to damer is nice.

Yeah I like HF at the moment. Normally I just ignore him at this point. but meh.

Conversion giveing a town read and then like not saying why and its the same post other people said about Clock and the defense of Damer in the same post. dont like dont like...

Ruxxar like conversion. Makes me like conversion even less...

Ruxxar shits on me. Like Ruxxar even less.

Krogan voteing Rux. I like I like.

My god I like Rux less and less as I read. Like coaching the newbies to look helpful. Bleh I just dont like him at all.

Krogran picks up on it. My HERO!!!

Ruxxar going to try to lynch me I can feel it.

FF giveing Ruxxar a out is meh really.

I really feel weird about people 13 pages in only having town reads. Like not even scum leans its null or town thats it.

Ruxxar with the coaching again. Like I guess its a defense of him self but the way he does it in like a coaching way. Activity is town blah blah blah just rubs me the wrong way.

Grack is forgettable... bleh

HF is back to ignore... The whole krogan/ruxxar thing and HF response to it is making my response ignore HF.

DF I am ok with for now. His post about agreeing with HF on Krogan is bleh. I mean who isnt town reading Krogan right now? And that is a reason to give HF a pass? And I dont really like his Ruxxar town read. But his post isnt bringing any more red flags other than those.

But then the next post is within HF scum range... Lol ok... Still ok with DF.

Oats TMI post is meh. Still like his pushes though....

The whole thing on pocketing people is stupid and I am dumber for reading it.

HUH xenon thinks rux is town so he votes Oats? That cant be a scum play right> Like it just cant. I mean right? Huh?

Oats points out my thought on xenonn but I think 60% lynch bait 40% scum because really?

So I am running out of time so I am going to post this. I am still reading but I am also about to Top 8 a large MTGO tourny. Sooooo.

But it doesn't really stick out in their filters. They both put it in bigger posts. It seems like they would want to demonstrate how irrelevant Grack is.

Also there are things in his filter I don't like

Without reading anything beyond Damerion's post I quite like that idea. Mafia probably aren't going to just stack all 3 people on the Damerion lynch.

A day later he says it's likely that Onegu is mafia, but he never commited or tried to push.

Actually I think we should kill Fecalfeast. His scum reads are all just the 3 people who took pressure yesterday plus he was one of the people on the Damerion wagon and I noticed this call out from Darthfoley.

In the last game FF slipped by carelessly saying that he would just sheep HF without noticing that HF was pushing somebody he was town reading. He went from calling Ruxxar scum for trying too hard to calling him town because he doesn't give a shit in an hour, and it was around the time people's opinion of Ruxxar seemed to be shifting.

He was the first one to vote FF day2 but afer this post he stayed in the background. I always remembered as HF's lynch but he was actually the first one.

I said Onegu was a good pick for mafia after reading Damerion's post. Then HF started making arguments against scum Onegu and I read other things and thought Fecalfeast was a better lynch.

I also don't think I've been in the background. I've attempted to start 3 different pushes this game on Oats/FF/Ruxxar and I always try to back up my lynch with my own thought process. I haven't seen much reasoning for why I'm one of the consensus thread picks to be mafia beyond likely people seeing me win the last game as solo mafia and associating that with me being more likely to be the solo mafia in this game.

Oats is probably town. I thought his posts seemed awkward early on but he seems more in his element to me now. Basing the read off of the interaction with Conversion is kind of meh to me but Damerion did look at my interactions with Fecalfeast in the last game to justify a scum read on us.

Which had nothing to do with your scumread on him.
So I remembered HF as the one pushing the lynch while you didn't mention it again.
