Hi ritoky
what makes conv brown?


his questions lead to dead end alleys where people get robbed and murdered.

non committal.

posts like "good point about that thing i was doing sir! cheerio chaps" generally come from mafia.


^ This is what I'm referring to, ritoky.

You say that you only have 1 and a half strong townreads, but this looks like a scumread to me. Also the only one in your filter at all.

Say you're joking about koshi, and yeah we all know what koshi can be like (though I don't know anything about whether he pushes you all the time or not), I'd still think this would be enough to push Conversion. Only caveat is you're not really doing anything, so not as scummy as say having this read and then pushing someone else. But the doing nothing with it certainly isn't giving me town feels, either.

Didn't someone already ask you why you thought HF was town?

All, I would appreciate your feedback on points below relating to rsoultin.

For context, I was very impressed by town!rsoultin in the game that just finished. She was such a strong town read, that I as scum, did not even consider getting her offside. Through Day1 to Night2, rsoultin consistently demonstrated inclusive scum hunting; logical town hunting; an open-mindedness to alternate views, joyful transparency with her gut feelings, and willingness to put her views out in the open.

In short, I think the way she approached that game is a solid town benchmark - and also simple to measure to against.
Refer to here if interested.


Putting the curiosity towards the SK aside; what I am immediately observing this game once rsoultin was called out is a significant behavioral difference compared to the above.

What is shown below is a series of posts that express passive aggression, undertones of anger, a shade of minor appeasing; and positions based on insinuation.


#1
Items in blue from a glance can be interpretted as chaff relating to SK.
However, when viewed in consideration with items in red further below, I observe passive aggression and insinuation.

Note in particular, the comment about lack of dragging on conversation which implies there is relevance to all of this.
Yet prior comments in blue indicate that this is not only chaff, but indicative of a joke and not worth pursuing until Day2.
This should also be read in conjunction with Item 4, which changes the narrative yet again.

Regarding items in red.
The comment about Joni being scum for lack of humour is extremely passive aggressive. When coupled with the (in effect) rhetorical statement about open-ended, obscure question; there is no actual effort made to discern the motives of Rayn. Rather this is subtle shit-slinging (read: verging on ad-hominem attack) that is again repeated when discussing me.

Further insinuation takes place by attempting to associate me with my prior scum game - citing creative following of thread sentiment ; yet not indicating how I am replicating that this game
Again, where is an attempt to discern my motives? This is all characteristic of how scum brush off pressure.

None of this lines up with my expectation for a town!rsoultin.

@Rayn, his post caught my eye because, to me, it's a bit of an unnatural place for someone's mind to go. But it's hardly worth pursuing unless night actions get strange.I'm not sure why you're bothering to ask me such an open-ended, obscure question, though.

    This doesn't make any sense at all. I don't see how it would be more or less "unnatural place to go" as any alignment. I asked you a very simple question (which is btw completely clear and not obscure at all) which to i predicted an "i was just joking" or what you said in case you're not.

    I find it even funnier that you seem to be calling me mafia because of it, as... well... i was actually right in that you did have some kind of a point, regardless of how strong it was. I don't even care about the point (because i definitely don't agree with it on any level), i care more about the fact that you seem to be dragging the conversation, that yes - was completely pointless, for no real purpose.

    In short, you're just saying stuff that has no relevance to anyone's alignment, you're jsut making shit up.

I honestly don't care if you see it or not. Nor was I in any way dragging on the conversation. You were unable to leave it alone The only real question is whether or not that makes you mafia.

Mocsta jumping right on board with it isn't giving me amazing feels, either, after his last follow the thread sentiment while inventing a 'creative' reason scum game.



#2
Again, in isolation this is chaff to a degree.
However, when coupled with Item1, it does become interesting.
On one hand (item 1 blue), rsoultin sells the SK discussion as a joke and meaningless.
On the other hand (item 2), the SK discussion is now suddenly interesting.

The key for me however is insertion of "up until that point" which is indicative of a "reward me for getting people to talk" mindset. The subtle difference I expect from a town!rsoultin is that it would be rather "reward me for getting people to talk - about a purpose (read: why it is scummy)". Again, not present here.

Mhm. And I suppose you found anything interesting in the thread up until that point?



#3
I have 2 core issues here.
A - In item 1, rsoultin insinuates I give her bad feelings = slight scum lean.
However, note the comment in green. This is apologetic and appeasing and not-congruent with me being a slight scum lean.

B- In Item #1, rsoultin infers Rayn is scum read due to the red quote (town!Joni scum reads rsoultin for stupid reasons). The irony then is that either Rayn is targeting town!rsoultin for reasons that are not stupid; or, that Rayn is targeting scum.

This is further compounded due to the tell being useless - mafia will cling onto someone for stupid reasons; and now she has a publicly justified out to back off her Rayn scum read.

This whole passage boils down to: Subtle undermining of Rayn via shit-slinging in addition to giving her a path out.

Now, I am not biased: town can throw out heuristics like this to back down from reads - and obviously that is good play.
But the difference here is that no where in rsoultin filter is an obvious effort to discern players agenda.

This is a Hyundai version of a Mercedes Benz rsoultin.

Sounds like you already answered your own question, then, doesn't it? Yes, of course it's light. Joni has a tendency to scumread me for asinine reasons as town.

Why are you asking me questions that you already know the answer to? And then adding shade on top of it? Then demanding that I answer like it's a real question? Because if there's a town reason for that, I'd love to hear it.



Item #4
So predictably, rsoultin has backed down on her Rayn read - and based on nothing directly related to the pressure.

However the real meat and potatoes is with mderg.
ie. rsoultin comments that the whole conversion/HF banter could indicate a mafia.

This is certainly news to me and not consistent at all with what was commented prior in Item 1 + 2.
I expect a town!rsoultin to be relentlessly chasing this lead and working with others to illuminate it further.
Non of that is apparent.
Instead she is happy to rewarded for "stimulating talk" and then call Rayn town.

The other interesting item is how she is now shit-slinging on me via inserting that I was "bandwagoning" her.. Overreaction again, no?

That caught my eye more than all the other obvious jokes flying around -shrugs- I agree that it's pretty moot since it was just a passing thought that for some stupid reason has now become the focal point of the thread.

What do you think about mocsta bandwagoning on that?

@DF, so it's scummy for me to comment on it like I did but you also don't like mocsta. I don't understand.


Oh, while looking for who asked that...point 4 is just entirely wrong, Mocsta.

I was saying that I expected Conversion to call HF mafia in his joke, and what caught my attention was that he didn't. This had nothing to do with my reads on either of them.

i don't understand your point. some1 asked me why he was poop soup, i told them. he was the only player i had any negative inclinations toward. are those feelings a strong enough deviation from the norm to warrant trying to lynch him at this point? no not really.

and why do i have to push things? why can't i play reactive? if you want to read my lack of aggression and my simple, succinct, honest posting style as scum; that's on you. you do you, i'll do me. i bet i come out finding more scum in the end though.

that mocsta is town. it is pretty much purely on the heuristic that the highest activity player d1 is almost always town. because his obsession with his nothing-burger case does not inspire any further confidence in me about his alignment.

Mhm. And I suppose you found anything interesting in the thread up until that point?



#3
I have 2 core issues here.
A - In item 1, rsoultin insinuates I give her bad feelings = slight scum lean.
However, note the comment in green. This is apologetic and appeasing and not-congruent with me being a slight scum lean.

B- In Item #1, rsoultin infers Rayn is scum read due to the red quote (town!Joni scum reads rsoultin for stupid reasons). The irony then is that either Rayn is targeting town!rsoultin for reasons that are not stupid; or, that Rayn is targeting scum.

This is further compounded due to the tell being useless - mafia will cling onto someone for stupid reasons; and now she has a publicly justified out to back off her Rayn scum read.

This whole passage boils down to: Subtle undermining of Rayn via shit-slinging in addition to giving her a path out.

Now, I am not biased: town can throw out heuristics like this to back down from reads - and obviously that is good play.
But the difference here is that no where in rsoultin filter is an obvious effort to discern players agenda.

This is a Hyundai version of a Mercedes Benz rsoultin.

Sounds like you already answered your own question, then, doesn't it? Yes, of course it's light. Joni has a tendency to scumread me for asinine reasons as town.

Why are you asking me questions that you already know the answer to? And then adding shade on top of it? Then demanding that I answer like it's a real question? Because if there's a town reason for that, I'd love to hear it.



Item #4
So predictably, rsoultin has backed down on her Rayn read - and based on nothing directly related to the pressure.

However the real meat and potatoes is with mderg.
ie. rsoultin comments that the whole conversion/HF banter could indicate a mafia.

This is certainly news to me and not consistent at all with what was commented prior in Item 1 + 2.
I expect a town!rsoultin to be relentlessly chasing this lead and working with others to illuminate it further.
Non of that is apparent.
Instead she is happy to rewarded for "stimulating talk" and then call Rayn town.

The other interesting item is how she is now shit-slinging on me via inserting that I was "bandwagoning" her.. Overreaction again, no?

Again, why does it being an obvious joke post default to bullshit? I read the beginning of the sentence and assumed mafia would be the conclusion. It wasn't. That caught my eye more than all the other obvious jokes flying around -shrugs- I agree that it's pretty moot since it was just a passing thought that for some stupid reason has now become the focal point of the thread.

What do you think about mocsta bandwagoning on that?

@DF, so it's scummy for me to comment on it like I did but you also don't like mocsta. I don't understand.


Oh, while looking for who asked that...point 4 is just entirely wrong, Mocsta.

I was saying that I expected Conversion to call HF mafia in his joke, and what caught my attention was that he didn't. This had nothing to do with my reads on either of them.
ahhh, total misinterpretation.

Hi ritoky
what makes conv brown?


his questions lead to dead end alleys where people get robbed and murdered.

non committal.

posts like "good point about that thing i was doing sir! cheerio chaps" generally come from mafia.


^ This is what I'm referring to, ritoky.

You say that you only have 1 and a half strong townreads, but this looks like a scumread to me. Also the only one in your filter at all.

Say you're joking about koshi, and yeah we all know what koshi can be like (though I don't know anything about whether he pushes you all the time or not), I'd still think this would be enough to push Conversion. Only caveat is you're not really doing anything, so not as scummy as say having this read and then pushing someone else. But the doing nothing with it certainly isn't giving me town feels, either.

Didn't someone already ask you why you thought HF was town?


i don't understand your point. some1 asked me why he was poop soup, i told them. he was the only player i had any negative inclinations toward. are those feelings a strong enough deviation from the norm to warrant trying to lynch him at this point? no not really.

and why do i have to push things? why can't i play reactive? if you want to read my lack of aggression and my simple, succinct, honest posting style as scum; that's on you. you do you, i'll do me. i bet i come out finding more scum in the end though.

The problem is if you're town you doing you looks like scum. Can you elaborate on this?


so you want to make me alter the way i am playing rather than you have to alter the way you're perceiving? that's selfish.

it's pretty straightforward but sure. at the start of the game everyone starts at a baseline level, let's call it 0. as the game progresses people do things they gain points in their favor and against them. let's say the range is 10 to -10. if we were to place conv on that scale he was somewhere around a -2 to a -3. -5 is generally where you have to be for pressure to lynch to begin for me. maybe if he works at it, he can get there one day.

Hi. Darthfoley, what was about Mocsta's posts about going to bed that got to you so much? Doesn't have to be a long answer, I know you said they felt awkward but I'm not really seeing what you are at present.

I'll read Mocsta's case soon.


Basically if I were super tired and woke up to post, I would probably not make the second post with typos about going back to bed. For me, I would just be exhausted and fall asleep. The second post sounded like one of those "update on activity" posts mafia sometimes feel like they have to make


That doesn't look like great reasoning to me

i mean i was confident until you told me she got nailed for it last game, then i looked and it was kinda true; so i lost some confidence in it. i was banking on using the read i invented years ago to get a sneakster read, but it appears people still plagiarize my reads shamelessly.

trfel took a quote out of context pretty bad, so he doesn't get to sit at the table anymore.

Or what is going on here?


Her nitpicky post just seemed pretty forced to try and make something out of obviously nothing. I see that more scum than town.

I am curious as to what part of her sharing her opinion on my obviously joke post on HF being Serial Killer sounds bullshitty
In that case, why did you ask this question to mderg, if you agreed with his assessment?


Because calling people's opinions bullshitty doesn't make sense in my head, and is also seemingly forced to try and look active?

I don't get this line of questioning. I can ask people about their motivations even if I may agree with them

Am I misunderstanding things or was your line of thought? I saw something strange about rsoultin -> mderg saw the same thing but worded it different than I would -> something's fishy

I get this to an extent because my brother used a similar method, but not with the hands-off approach you're taking. It still bugs me that for someone with limited reads you're not actively doing something about it, even if I can see the different play-style argument of must wait to pressure until x certainty. But you go ahead and be you.

Nailed for...I don't even remember. I'm trying to post more legibly and without emoticons in general, so it's doubtful that sort of meta read would be vaild anymore, anyway.

look i got a wife, 3 kids who can walk and talk, and 2 cats now; i ain't got the fire in my belly anymore to get in the trenches and duke it out with people. i battle it out all day long. what i do still have are my instincts even if they are washed-up; so this style of play suits the me of today much better.
