I’m going to pretend rayn, Koshi, and VE all don’t exist in this game until d2 and I implore you all to do the same thing.

Literally none of them have contributed anything useful all game and sadly there is a high chance at least one of them is town. We get the short end of the stick in determining their alignments later.

On VE, if it’s unclear why he’s in my scumpile: VE is eventually going to come back and if he’s reasonable it’ll be obvious fairly quickly. However he’s already gotten so many things uncharacteristically wrong and dodged so many questions that it’s better to leave him alone and see if he does something constructive with the space rather than bait him into arguments where he’ll undoubtably bloat the thread as either alignment




But you just asked hf to help you figure out koshi's alignment!


Yeah I realize it’s a waste of time atm. Let’s just kill ruxxar and worry about Koshi later

What id this logic.

Hf: youre right, but your scummy for calling me scum.

Why are you not responding to me

I find this analysis weird though, why on earth do you think you’re the lynch bait here? If anything it’s Calix or disformation.

I agree that it’s a scum vote but I think it’s more a vote in line with “if I vote HF here no one will believe I’d have the balls to do that as scum” because you weren’t on any radars and weren’t likely to be lynched given the vote spread

He has consistently just disappeared after every short burst of activity and his “progressions” are just odd. As you pointed out he just completely dropped the Calix/conversion business; what happened to one of them being scum?

He also had a set up into calling BC scum but dropped that too. No idea why he mentions rayn in his post on you either, just seems like a forced mention especially because rayn was nearly completely absent for 24 hours.


Sorry what was I supposed to respond to?


I am the perfect lynch bait. I could make a case on myself for being mafia. High activity poking on rayn to blow up into low activity keeping options open when everyone becomes active?

I'm the mafia dream to push. Nobody can really argue with that. Push back on calix/conversion etc is all because they have blurred lines, nothing to sway one way or the other.


Are you going to help kill ruxxar??

I honestly don’t think iGrok is scum here. Scum basically has to be in:

Ruxxar
VE
rayn
Koshi

Almost everyone else has a few or loads of town points in favour

Damn I need to ignore Koshi LOL so hard

calix vote ruxxar. Your point on the wagons does not apply to ruxxar, and it’s wrong in some key ways, notably that rayn has been trying to proxy push disformation (through Koshi) for a while now

Also scum would care about keeping the votes spread, which is exactly why ruxxar’s vote is a scum vote and why VE not helping me consolidate on disfo/ruxxar earlier is a huge red flag

Ruxxar
VE
rayn
Koshi

I will interact and evaluate as best I can. Soon.

I don't really agree with Koshi and dunno how you have him there after last game? Pretty different. Think this is a bit of a mediocre list.


Koshi is a POE read and why I asked you to help me read him. I agree he’s fairly different than last game and it’s also why I want to just punt him.

Ruxxar we can agree is scum. VE I’m more certain on than rayn actually. Maybe you agree with VE because he shared your push on iGrok, but he got so many things wrong this game and dodged several key questions I asked him. It’s uncharacteristic. His reads and behaviour also don’t make much sense given the context of this game so far.

Rayn is just as equally making no sense, pushing disfo which is a bad lynch but not even doing it directly, rather pushing it trough Koshi, and to top it all off conveniently disappeared when the pressure abated only to come back when people started noticing he disappeared

All three of those players have strange interactions with ruxxar and are the main cause of the resistance to the lynch. Just go back and reread them if you don’t believe me

Calix I already explained myself and mobile posting, go read the game.

You can just read rayn’s last couple filter pages and look for his questions to Koshi

Like if rayn is scum this game I can guarantee he is deathly afraid of HF and possibly Koshi as well catching him. I doubt he cares about me because it’s within his range to call my play bad and get away with doing that consistently rather than helping figure out the game.

If in context of the rest of the game rayn is not making any sense he’s not town here. Last game I thought his read on me was pretty stupid and he was constantly repeating the same questions at me when I had already answered him. He did a bit of that here re: my vote on him but while I agreed with his opinions overall d1 yesterday his opinions here are just nonsense

god damn

in my spreadsheet I noted that we might need to let conversion kill you to ensure the tunnel ends and now it indeed seems to me that the two of you are just gonna build a corner for yourselves and sling poop at each other until the rest of us tire of it and kill one of you

it's sad because I have good reasons to consider you both town too.

Both me, HF, and BC all think ruxxar is scum. If any of us is not in your town reads, you have a problem bigger than conversion calling you scum. Vote with us.

interestingly enough I have played with disformation more than I thought

two recent games I'm meta diving here: classic (disfo mafia)and vendee (disfo town, replaced in after N1)

the thing with disfo here, from what I'm reading, is that he generally sounds the same (to which I think rayn alluded to when he was telling me disfo sounds the same either way)

the thing is I'm more inclined to believe disfo is mafia here because it's been almost 48hrs and he hasn't done one productive thing all game

let's take a look at Vendee:

It looks as if some people are moving away from a rsoultin lynch, could I get a quick summary of that? Besides Koshi, who is hard townreading rsoultin right now.

Also would like suggestions on who I should filter dive so I am not aimlessly diving people and wasting my time, if my thoughts would be valuable here.

@Mderg I need more from you. Your posts lack content, if you’re town. Where’s your head at for the rest of D1?

flagged for possible teammate interaction.
aware you are both in thread and mderg isnt doing too hot?

your waffles on mderg dont look too bad imo.
i have more of an issue that you basically had no reads?
like first 2 pages of your filter you only directly have a read on rsoultin
then you add mderg and prpl to your scumpile.
heavily implied strong tr on koshi though

ritoky afks his vote on mderg fairly early in the day. says we could default lynch him instead for shennies. dont think that is likely to come from scum.
hf was hammer on scum. and even if both wagons are scum i think a scum!hf would have played this day differently.

outside of that it is a bit hard to tell imo. kinda depends on whether rsoultin is really scum or not.


I'm not going to go on a wall of quotes here, but what I'm seeing is lots of transparent thoughts in solving the game, without PRODDING.

that's the big thing here, disfo this game has done nothing but majorly prodding. no real original thoughts tbh, just lots of questions

won't share who he wants to lynch, won't comment on wagons, doesn't defend anyone, he tries to slink off into the background

stuff like this in the current game

other option would be to sheep ve and hf onto igrok.

translates to "ruxxar is meh, I'll vote him maybe, or I'll sheep to igro, but you are null. he just seems very opportunistic and not trying to solve the game

he only really comes in when questioned/asked as well, I'm not seeing any proactivity in scum hunting in his posts

@rs: did look at the host revenge game. slam looked very different to here.
i also don't think he would care that much about ppl voting him that much normally.

but as a question: does it look different from only his town games or both his town and scum games? dont recall any scum slam games I was, link me a good one?

though if the theory works then slam should think you are town for voting him early. as scum tries to keep him alive for long. the thing is, he hasn't posted about that theory thing recently hasnt he? maybe he forgot?

so the question would be:
@slam:
chupazi theory or:

So... im in an odd predicament

(1) I have an important dinner tonight so wont be able to critically read anything
(2) Where I work has been thrown in an unplanned shutdown.. I really dont know if I can commit the time to apply critical thought.

I still think Day1 comes down to resolutions on the big topics:
Slam
Moosy
Ex0/KSC,
Koshi/Disfo/n00bking,
DF

Rest is probably side distractions.

My current (albeit loose) thoughts are:

Above null pile (Ex0_, rsoultin, vivax, rayn, Kelsier, ykl, disinfo, Palmar
Null pile (HF, Conversion, Slam, darthfoley, Rels, tictock, sicklucker, koshi, moosy)
Below null pile (n00bking)

Of the above null, I feel least strong about disinfo as its based on a heuristic that is gut feel only.
Conversion is in null pile as I havent focused on anything he has said.
Slam I would still need to meta-dive.
DF I actually like, but I give pause since so many others have issue. I wouldnt lynch today, and would prefer not to use a bullet on.
tictock is in null pile as I was surprised by the content since waking. Maybe im selfish, but I was quite surprised he didnt ask me anything.
moosy i agree is not on the table Day1. Could be easy mislynch; so focus on other scum team.

Apologies to leave it like this.

Like shit I’m a big topic still.

Consider lynching me like lynching little Blazinghand. I am really actually quite good; I’m just too nervous to ditch the façade just yet. Also, late game I wifom myself to the 5th level so I become easily influenced again.

So I’m a mid game player. Give me the mid game, and I’ll benefit. I really shine when you throw me in at the middle.

But lynching me early is just a waste.

Say I were actually mafia even. Do you really think I am a good day one lynch mafia player? I am shit at pushing a real lynch I actually believe in (read last game! I couldn’t even do it with HF’s dogged help, and he is one of the best!) so what real use am I to a scumteam?

Except to bus. So now, if you’re pushing me as scum? Consider this. As your scummate, (lol), I just took away your ability to bus me without heavily implicating yourself- EVERYONE KNOWS MY POINT IS RIGHT; I AM A GREAT BUSSING TARGET. SO NOW YOU INCRIMINATE YOURSELF. You ask, “lol slam cracked poor guy” in the QT, “how the hell does he think this will implicate us with his flip?”

Here’s the kicker.

Town, if you push me with genuine intent on me being scum, you are a lazy ass and deserve to lose. I am, if not THE least, one of the least influential players on this forum- I SAY BAR NONE, and challenge you to lift my spirits a bit and prove me wrong.

So when I flip town? You deserve to be suspected.

BAM MAFIA GOTTA BACK OFF.

which one is it?

but i am not gonna lie, between him being very different and him being apparently fairly upset by that vote, he makes me nervous.

rayn's overall filter is kinda meh. doesn't look horrible on a glance, but has not a lot of impact either. his reason to vote me checks out. also seems to be very busy.
rayn has fooled me before though so i'll reserve the right to some paranoia.

not sure if i would want to lynch him for that d1, but if his filter is still meh and he has had no impact on a later day, i would heavily recommend lynching him.

Okay, tbf, my read on you was back and forth.

Namely, you've only been focused on noob. You don't seem to be trying to suss out other alignments. That is scummy.

Caveats are: scumreading for his entrance wasn't bad
you could be tunneled town

But frankly, even tunneled town usually bother to attempt to make other reads even as they're tunneling.

yeah i think that was my prob with conv as well. he had like 2 reads.

just to organize my thought:

town(ish) (no order):
tocktock
vivi
ksc
rs
mocsta

way too many nulls/meh/bleh ppl.


he does a better job blending in Classic than he is here, actually. tries to at least LOOK like he's putting in some effort, but looking at his game here, it just does exactly what he's doing here, just better

he's blending in, throwing out some "reads" here and there, but falls flat in taking a strong stance in really anything


I just feel like it's the same sort of weird tonal meta read I had with rsoul in Vendee and the meta diving for me encapsulates disformation very clearly here: demotivated, trying to stay hidden and posting for the sake of posting (lots of prodding, evades conclusive questions, not really sure what real objective he has for D1 still to this hour)

I'd just like to reiterate here that I do not think Jock-Disfo can be a team from the way they are playing.

I'll look into ruxxar next since he did kind of just go "u tried" and ran away


btw this amount of effort is indicative of someone who really believes they have nailed someone as scum

I don't care who it is, you don't kill someone who makes this post d1.

Even if they have the capacity to play a brilliant scum game, killing them d1 is a low value-prop move because such a player would also have the opportunity to contribute a lot to town. Leaving them for d2 or d3 is much smarter.

My suggestion for the group of conversion/Calix/Jock/disformation: you all seem to drift back and forth between clarity and confusion because this game is quite chaotic and there is a lot of seemingly good activity. Focus on the things that matter, and look at who you read as town.

If you're an isolated vote right now then try to think why people aren't agreeing with you. HF, myself, and BC are all in agreement on ruxxar. I don't know for sure where they stand on rayn/VE but at this stage I think it's just a matter of time.

If we are indeed in your town read pile then vote with us, because I for one am not going to support a disfo/conversion lynch today and I highly doubt HF and BC will either unless something unexpected happens which causes them to waffle.

hello, I've been asking you for like four fucking pages to vote with me and stop voting iGrok but it seems like you're just taking your time so I'm waiting to see what you're going to do

on behaviour I have no reasons to think you're scum because your read progressions make sense and you called out exactly what I'd expect you to call out on ruxxar's vote post. You also called out rayn even if you for whatever weird reason called my list, half of which is ruxxar + rayn, trash

well, see HF, the thing about ruxxar is that he does not respond to questions

that is really what makes him scum.

Also what is it about his posts that you find not scummy? If it's tone, I already can tell you that's probably not alignment indicative for ruxxar.

Just seem honest and not really hiding much? Dunno how to explain feels really. He'll respond to me, no worries.


but he isn't honest, and he is hiding things? Or at the very least not explaining them whatsoever. His read progressions are not natural, like he doesn't seem to be thinking about how to solve the game and just jumps between things. The only place where it seemed like he was catching onto something was with BC and he didn't complete the follow up. He asked a couple questions and every time he never followed up to get the answer.

for instance, why did he say 1 of Calix/Conversion is prob scum and then completely drop it to refocus on you?

Why did he say he would be around for questions and then didn't actually answer any questions posed to him immediately after, particularly by me?

See between when he re-enters and 824, with full thread context (so you can see what he is being asked) For instance, he doesn't clarify his read on Jock when asked by Calix.

The biggest single question dodge is this one though:

VE, BC while I’m gone sheep me on ruxxar or explain why you don’t want to

Also define who’s a thread skimmer/lurker this game and rank them on kill priority

I'm gonna pass on that one.

A) You've given literally no reasoning that I can see for your vote aside from "for that one post alone" which, filtering you in isolation, I can't even see which it is. So...

B) I filtered ruxxar and found that his posting seems internally consistent, and relatively comprehensive as far as "what you should know about me" posts go. It feels this side of townie to me.

I'm not going to rank lurkers on kill priority, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard what are you even fucking doing?


you're right, I didn't post reasons for ruxxar, mostly because I put too much faith in people actually going back to read his only post of any real substance and it being self-explanatory from his entrance. It's quite simple:

sup guys, long time no see. skimmed through the thread, dont remember all the specifics.
i dont wanna lynch the active people, cause they make the game fun.

- jockmcplop is top town, he speaks from his heart.
- hf looks townie, i love when he gets riled up.
- VE seems aight, could be deviously smart mafia.
- rayn attacking jockmcplop is dumb, and his fumbling to explain his first post was meh, dont make him mafia tho.
- bugs looks aigh tish.

- i dont like calix. seem stiff and too sure of himself. looks like hes posting with perferct information.
already certain of his opinons, and just tries to find the best angle to defend them.

##Vote calix


3 things that stand out:

1. Doesn't want to lynch active people but isn't actively involved either. In fact there's almost a hidden implication that ruxxar doesn't intend to be active in that statement
2. First 5 bullets come off as "I need to post some reads so I can continue skating by so let me summarize some basics and say things others probably would agree with"
3. Calix vote justification looks forced and justification for the sake of justification.

When Calix responded by saying "yeah well, it looks like that way because I'm sheeping" ruxxar's only response was to concede that the pronouns were wrong.


The tl;dr is that my read is on the basis of ruxxar’s entrance post plus his reaction to the resistance that Calix put up.


You dont like my entry post but seem just entirely fine with calix list post.
Of course you do when he calls you town lmao


Your reaction to resistance on your vote vs Calix's reaction are pretty worlds apart. Hell, even the posts themselves are pretty different. When someone cites another post as part of their rationale in a way that makes sense, and manage to do this very consistently, I find it less likely they are scum. You didn't do that, did you?

Now, what's odd is that you are calling me out for calling one list post bad, but not the other. You want me to look away from your scumminess at someone else...who according to you, did a very similar thing to you?

Anyway, enough about you. The choices I'm presenting people with that aren't you are disformation and Calix. Given that I think your reason for voting Calix isn't valid, and you just basically said both your post AND Calix's post were scummy, I'd like to hear what you think about disformation.

Failing that, talk to me about conversion's push on disformation.

If you can't do either of those things then I'll narrow the list and recommend everyone just lynch you and you only.


So is calix scummy or not? Make up your mind.
You say im scummy for reading calix as scum, but now youre calling calix scum also. #galaxybrain


I asked him to talk about disformation, and if he doesn't have an opinion there, about conversion pushing disformation. He ignores that question and misconstrues what I'm saying about Calix.

I respond to this in the off-chance he is town and just misunderstood what I meant, and he never responds back, no follow up, it's like this exchange never happened.

Plenty of people don't respond to questions.
It doesn't always make them scum.

What about ruxxar specifically makes not responding to questions scummy, but tone NAI??


tone is NAI because he bristles as both alignments. See my post @ #949 for an example where he is fairly aggressive as scum, or just read through Mafia Mafia Mafia yourself:

Just FYI, ruxxar can put up a fair amount of bristle as town so if you also share the bad take on “tone” that he’s town, you need a better reason to think so. Here’s an example post of ruxxar showing some fair amount of sass in a game where he rolled and won as mafia, oddly enough with Koshi:

Darth and Ruxxar are probably worth taking a look at.

The feeling I get from rux is that he is asking people to justify or explain things that aren't that difficult to comprehend. It felt like he trying to give the illusion of activity.

Lets just lynch Damdred for prodding Oats and backing off immediately

Kelsier & Ruxxar look like they're doing scummy stuff together. Though without confirming if Ruxxar's game history is true, I rather slightly liked Damdreds point on dumb-telling. But ofcourse Damdred would know if Ruxxar was town since Damdred would know all the scum through association.

I dont like this post.
Its cramming too many thoughts into one post where it ends up being unlegible garbage.
I'm not even sure I know what stance you are taking with this.

Actually going to revise what I said, Kelsier was behaving suspiciously in his post at Ruxxar, not with Ruxxar.
Though nothing says they're opposite alignments either.
TLDR Kelsier bad, Ruxxar null.


This followup isnt helping when I can't understand the argument you made in the first place.


This followed up by asking me to explain a feeling read, I don't know how you can explain feelings.


Then again I really didn't like anything darth posted and it felt like he was just trying to mimic thread opinion and almost try and pocket rux.

Is this “Ruxx is town” echo chamber related to his meta? O feel like Im missing something.

I feel like Im missing something.

Also, what are your thoughts on Tumblewood and holyflare?


I think Damdred's point on ruxx is decent plus his questioning of Kelsier is what i know to be town!Ruxx.

TW i always think is scummy and it's the same this game. I only remember one comment by HF about mafia number game setup mechanics which is scummy.



darth perhaps you can explain why I have to give a full explanation for my TW read which you don't think I have enough basis for, but you can also read TW as scummy.

I probably have darth as my top lynch. I doubt that mafia darth would link up with mafia rux that hard so perhaps rux is ok I just don't think his questions are that useful.


Your read was bad and your defense of it was bullshit.
Your first reaction to getting pressured was trying to pull up excuses and try to keep your image from being tarnished.
Playing dumb is not going to win any townie points in my book.


That post is from Mafia Mafia Mafia

Also, he calls people townies all the time when he is mafia, so as I suspected this is not alignment indicative and certainly not any reason to think he has real reads. In context it makes his reread look much worse because a single town read on Koshi is literally the only thing he came back with.


not responding to questions and not following up on your own questions, as well as reaching absurd reads with no progression is an indication that someone is scum because they aren't naturally trying to figure out the game. This is in contrast to, for example, various posts that Conversion, Calix, BC, HF, you, and disformation have all made this game where each of you have had something that didn't make sense and tried to track it down, or complained when felt ignored. These types of progressions are really really hard to fake because mafia already have full knowledge of the game, and faking them is sometimes quite dangerous because it takes a really good understanding of what town would think without that full information. It's much more common just to see mafia 1.) not ask these questions, or if they do, not follow up on them, and 2.) for mafia to reach conclusions in weird manners that don't make sense from a town perspective given the info that is present.

This is actually the reason I never fully townread grack last game even though on tone he seemed fine. I know HF and rayn both really thought grack was town in the obs thread so I know that our philosophies aren't quite identical; I agree on the surface though that the tone/behaviour reads are very tempting. I honestly saw that myself in ruxxar before I checked a past game to see if it was possible in his scum range, and turns out it is.

Is this shit for real? Like, this is a SEVENTY-TWO hour day, and HALF the players started playing the moment I went to bed JUST AS I SUSPECTED THEY WOULD.

The only people mafia reading me are people who are mad at me for stupid things. That is ironic as hell.


I think I might be the only person publicly mafia reading you and that's certainly not why

but it's okay, I do agree with you that you're not getting lynched today and you have plenty of time to help me kill ruxxar. I know you're going to have to move your vote away from iGrok no matter what your alignment is, you're too smart to keep it there

I dunno what to tell you bugs but I just don't find those things scummy? Maybe he had to disappear, maybe he found something better and flitted to the next thing on his mind?

I think mafia would be more careful about having explanations at least rather than dropping things for no reason and moving on? What reason does he have to drop calix read etc?


but he had no follow-up, and it's not like it happened once. And when called out he just ignored it, but we happen to know he's here reading the thread because he occasionally comes in and throws shade on a post before slinking off again.

He's like the definition of active lurker.

I think whether mafia find reasons for dropping reads is dependent on style. I think the more consistent behaviour with regards to explanations is whether they have reasons for voting someone. I think we can both agree that his reasons for his votes are pretty scummy. If not, then I encourage you to tell me who you think I should vote instead.

Who do you actually townread this game and why were you so easily convinced by Koshi that Calix is scum?
