Also I'm just going to note that there was a lot of valuable and interesting discussions the past ten pages and Grack literally only talked about Bugs being mafia and ignored the rest. Very interesting.

That's what I do now because I'm out of ideas. Note things.

Carry on.

I agree with this interpretation, because you were fear posting on the claim calls.

Like grack must not be playing the same game because he commented earlier about rayn fake claiming veteran. And he, I assume, witnessed HF actually flip veteran.

So what happened there? If that hypothetical had played out with both of them alive in this situation we get a counterclaim and lynch a townie?


Well I mean if both had seriously claimed veteran than yeah. But I don't think anyone takes Rayn's claim seriously. Did you? Why would a veteran ever claim veteran.


I mean the argument we don't have to worry about fake claims because town can counter claim is flawed because there might not be a town counter claim, but I'm not sure it means anything besides being dumb.

I might have something really interesting soon. Give me 30 minutes.

FecalFeast is Mafia

VE, you have said that Fecalfeasts effort and activity in this game proves him as town.

I would say precisely the opposite. Fecalfeast's enthusiasm and real pushing in this game far more parallels his mafia games than his town games.

Fecalfeasts filter this game: tl.net

Last four town games:
Fibonnaci Mafia: tl.net
End of the World Mafia: tl.net
Classic Mafia: tl.net
Medic Mafia: tl.net

These games are dominated by one liners, and low effort and very few genuine pushing, but nevertheless a generally consistent presence. Extremely few posts out of these four games have more than a couple lines, and there are no analysis posts of actual length at all. FF as town delivers his opinions, but is not very concerned about really trying to push people. If people believe him, great. If they don't, he might continue to post some one liner's and continue to tunnel on that person, but he never resorts to actually significantly engaging with others to get others lynched.

Last three mafia games
Carnaval do Brasil Mafia: tl.net
Liquidmania Qualifier #3 Mafia: tl.net
Hurricane Shelter Mafia:tl.net

There are plenty of one-liners here as well. But there is another huge, qualitative difference. It is as mafia that FF actually feels compelled to justify his reads. It's why you finally have posts like this, this, and particularly this and thisin Carnaval do Brasil Mafia, posts like this in Liquidmania Mafia, posts like this in Hurricane Shelter Mafia: longer posts meaningfully and substantially justifying his reasoning that we never ever ever see in his town games. Note in Hurricane Shelter Mafia and Liquidmania he got lynched early so he didn't have as much time to demonstrate his pattern, but the pattern nevertheless exists.

As town, FF doesn't really give a shit as appearing town. As mafia however, he puts more effort into his posts and seriously pushes more people. Based on the above 7 games, town FF would never have written a post like this in this game:

MZ sounds like a good place to start. Low activity for a newb on a team of afk scum sounds totally accurate


Unfortunately I think it is a huge boost for Bugs and to a lesser extent me but since you were so far down the line it doesn't help you that much. You were more an addendum than anything else.

When he made the post it seemed like he was more worried about pointing out that it doesn't clear me than anything else.

Which I disliked obviously.

I don't know. I'm rereading pandains day 1 and he has some weird posts with our current information. I have a bunch of tabs open but here are some highlights

I am confused about why Jock suddenly became an asshole in this thread when the last two games he was super nice and if anything apologetic. Also his blogs are fun to read so I'm sort of shocked. I don't think he's a bad lynch and might switch to him if the votes are close.

Also this is concerning:

Out of character compared to when I was mafia?


You gonna ignore my previous post?

You should answer this, and don't even think about skipping any of the questions:

Can you define what makes people suspicious? What types of things are suspicious and why would they be indicators someone is mafia instead of town?

Have you read Incognito's guide? What do you think your #1 priority should be if you are a townie?


Regardless of your alignment, at your current rate, you should know you're going to be dead.

In addition to that, let's see your reads.


#1 priority as town for me is finding scum.


And then proceedes to be super lukewarm about scum reads and doesn't scumhunt at all.

You really think mafia claims this and then does the complete opposite? You'd need to be really dumb if you didn't realise this is exactly where it gets you and i wouldn't say that's a really good strategy. But it's okay, maybe the 70% of the game can talk about something else after D1 since you're gonna have your lynch.

Mafia literally does it all the time. It's precisely inherently mafia to say good things and then not do them or follow them

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see two scum between BC, VE, HF, bugs, and vivax

So shortly before grouping these 5 players as some weird cell containing 2 scum, he called two of its members town. Not townleans either.
Two of the other members have flipped town
This, coupled with the fact that we have already established that vivax's first post in the scum QT was likely instructions to bus him, means that pandain through leading a vivax lynch was setting up to lynch into a group of 4 towns. Pretty odd indeed.

I will now mention that he happened to call flipped-scum koshi town twice in these posts but will not speak further on such a simple point.

I have some kinda shitty stuff too if you're interested


Throughout this game you all agree FF has been active and pushing people. Changing views and going back and forth. You all credited him for this; however this effort is more emblematic of his mafia playstyle.

Don't believe me? Listen to his own words this game:

what do you think of people trying to get you lynched? (myself included)

I'm never a fan of people going for me earlygame (or ever, really) because my scum meta (based on my own memory) is one of high activity earlygame because I'm excited to have rolled mafia. As town I'm often low hanging fruit which, obviously, is self-defeating of my tendency to omgus but it doesn't seem to matter.

Which one describes FF: "high activity" and "excited", or "low hanging fruit".

So now let's refuse to give FF a free pass simply because he's contributing, and instead actually point that as a worrisome sign.

What do we find when we seriously analyze him?

FF on day 1 had his biggest scum reads on Vivax and BC, and particuarly Vivax. However, he left his vote on MZ who at that time was not a top scum read of his.

In comparison, FF voted for MZ. Let's see what FF had to say regarding MZ at this point, who dismissed his earlier vote on him as a "fun pressure vote" and labeling him only "maf-ish" (compared to his other more strong reads)

FF wanted to give Koshi a pass and furthermore go through Rayn's list, which is now pretty much universally agreed to be wrong.

FF this past day cycle has been throwing around tons and tons of accusations and trying to get suspicions started on many different people. This is exactly what mafia wants to be doing, because they need to get into an end-game where no one is confirmed and everyone has suspicions on them. FF has been pushing, today, a Slam lynch, an MZ lynch, and a Pandain lynch. Not just talking about, he has all pushed them at different points.

Furthermore, something really interesting occurs in his discussions about me. He goes through my filter and writes a long analysis post, and then VE mentions about me saying Koshi is very suspicious.

FF's response?

So he went through my filter and then stopped? FF, he is clearly this game has been active and putting on a pretense of caring about the game decided to write a long analysis of me without even finishing reading me? My filter is not even that long. This is someone who wanted to push someone with whatever they could, without actually caring on whether they are scum or not.

Btw if FF is somehow scum here that is some amaze balls play. Read his progression on slam today, and how he’s posted about Pandain. If he’s faking that level of uncertainty I just don’t know, he deserves to win the game as scum I guess.

Unless someone can tell me that yes, FF has done something like scum I’m happy to consider him town here.


This is not someone being uncertain. This is someone who is just trying to find a wagon that can stick and then stay there. If it doesn't work, he backs off while still not clearing the person.

From an outside, more meta perspective, FF's play also fits how mafia should be playing. He supported the lynch on HF, despite having actually said he thinks hes town beforehand. This makes sense becuase mafia would love the chance to lynch town veteran HF. However, FF continually downplayed his involvement, and in fact said things like "fuck" and "I knew it" afterward.

Furthermore, as stated beforehand, he's trying to cause a whole bunch of different wagons on the same day. Not just talk about people and make one ultimate decision, but to go from wagon to wagon. From MZ to Slam to me to back to MZ.

1. Grack gets some town points for being on the Vivax wagon, as well as stating a pretty damning post of Koshi right before VE shot him.

He's also trying to push Bugs, which is very...strange from a mafia perspective. If you're mafia and aiming to get into a 2v1 scenario endgame, you are probably already going to shoot town people like Bugs and VE (if possible). Why waste your time on this lynch talking about Bugs who will probably die anyway?

2. Slam is a complete null.

3. I don't think Mafia MZ ever pushes for FF, who had absolutely no suspicions on him.If you are the top lynch as mafia, you are going to push someone who people are suspicious of, not someone who most people agreed was town. That would be extremely difficult.

It's true I, like you and VE, thought FF's activity and contributing made him town. It stood out from me from his previous town games where he was usually inactive and non-contributive, and I thought it was a good sign. But now after analyzing his meta it's way more indicative of scum, and the fact that it's so different than his normal town player is worrisome rather than welcoming.

About the scum games, I can't remember exactly what I thought but I very briefly went through them and thought I just noticed a difference in tone. But now I've actually analyzed them in detail (took about an hour) and I think it actually parallels them.

I don't really have any mafia reads, but I think VE is town from his carefree and open posting, and Koshi for same reason. I think that's a pretty good start for day 1.

I'm going to vote Rels because he's done absolutely nothing, and he did the same exact thing last time when I was mafia with him.

I think Wherebugsgo is solid town, not even learn town. He's most active person, is clearly actively reading and re-reading and using that to inform his view in a logical way (even if i disagree sometimes)


Super strong town lean on Koshi as well for his carefree posting. They just seem townie.

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see two scum between BC, VE, HF, bugs, and vivax

So shortly before grouping these 5 players as some weird cell containing 2 scum, he called two of its members town. Not townleans either.
Two of the other members have flipped town
This, coupled with the fact that we have already established that vivax's first post in the scum QT was likely instructions to bus him, means that pandain through leading a vivax lynch was setting up to lynch into a group of 4 towns. Pretty odd indeed.

I will now mention that he happened to call flipped-scum koshi town twice in these posts but will not speak further on such a simple point.

I have some kinda shitty stuff too if you're interested


This post absolutely never comes from a town FF. I just went through 3 additional town games in addition to the 4 noted above, and no post of his has ever come close to this size. That's 7 games, probably like 50 pages of posts combined. 1000 posts.

However, as noted, there are several posts of his as mafia that are long and detailed like this.
this and thisin Carnaval do Brasil Mafia

this in Liquidmania Mafia

this in Hurricane Shelter Mafia:

In fact, all of his last 3 scum games had long posts like this.

If you want a damning meta analysis, this is it.

so FF is on the lynch MZ train right away as is sort of expected given that AFAICT he never town read MZ once prior to this day. But why does he so quickly get off MZ after his responses when the rest of town hasn't budged?

Like that seemed premature to me, just autoswap to Pandain as soon as MZ posted something pseudo decent.


Great point, considering from Day2 on MZ was his top scum read. Makes no sense at all, and sounds like he's just trying to create suspicions instead of actually lynching who he thinks is scum.

Aw I miss my town buds VE and Bugs.

But now I think the rest of you are town, so you're my town buds too!

Where ya'll at?

Just drew a picture of everyone still in the game + the hosts. Can you find yourself?

I mean worst case scenario is this is the first town game ever where FF tries hard and we lynch him for it, thus ensuring he never tries hard again.

I think Pandain's analysis is mostly pretty good but I don't think it's a slam dunk. If you look for counter examples, you can find them, but like Pandain mentioned they're rare. I haven't had the time to check whether I think they're more common as scum or not but for instance:

From End of the World Party Mafia:
https://tl.net/forum/mafia/542541-end-of-the-world-party-mafia?page=194#3873

From Classic Mafia
https://tl.net/forum/mafia/542541-end-of-the-world-party-mafia?page=194#3873

noteworthy on classic is that he promised a post on someone else (TickTock?) and t hen never did it, so even as town he did something "scummy"

You linked the same post.

But re: end of the world mafia that's a just post defending himself. Not an actual anaylsis or substantial post or push .It's qualitatively different than what he does here and in other mafia games.

Like a "response post" defending yourself is not meaningful for analysis
