so where is your vote gonna go?

Humm, this pacing to a day gives me the heebies. At the same time it makes sense for a kinda defeated-feeling Trfel/Vivax team. I'd expect a bit more invigoration after pulling the switch to cake D1...
Then again if I was in mafia!Trfel's shoes I'd feel backed into an unwinnable spot as well and not want to play.
I suppose there is nothing to it but to see what the flip is.

Zey, was that post from D1?
If so I skimmed over that bit, but I'm confused why you keep hammering me on this. You seem to just be furthering the argument that Trfel's actions and reads are completely mismatched, and I've been making the same argument.

So what on earth does this mean then? I was half-joking, and did kinda think CopCake was town (though my mind quickly changed). I sometimes assume people are town until there is evidence to the contrary, as was the case here (after which I got to business). The post served its purpose of attracting attention and not lynching Vivax, though. Which is good thing because..? Because I didn't see any reason to call Vivax mafia? I don't really get raynpelikoneet's case on Vivax. I mean, it makes sense and is logical, but I don't think it fits mafia motivation. (1) Why would mafia be so uncooperative and lie about meta, what does it gain them? (1) That was not the whole point. I hate when people take one small part of the case and (intentionally) fail to see the big picture. The big picture here is the following; I don't actually think someone falsely using meta is indeed scummy because people misremember things, and truth to be told Cake hasn't played that much here. But when i went and read the games they had played together it became apparent that Vivax is not telling the truth. You can all go and confirm what i said if you want to, here is the only game Vivax and Cake have been town in together on this forum. Whether Vivax was not telling the truth intentionally or not, the whole point regarding that stands. When you have based your scumread on false premises, and someone comes and debunks every argument for your scumread (which is literally what happened here), If you are town you start re-evaluating because your point doesn't actually hold water and you should know it. Vivax never does that. Trfel never acknowledges this fact (which is literally the point of my argument regarding this), and i don't like he's only arguing "half" of the argument because he can make up a "townie explanation" for part of it. Hope you get what i mean. Show nested quote +On June 04 2020 16:13 Trfel wrote:
I could see raynpelikoneet being mafia too. Two main reasons. (2) Firstly, his focus doesn't seem to match his scumreads. He posts a long post on why CopCake is suspicious and then votes for Vivax over something small, and then posts a mini case on me, and then still votes for Vivax.
And second, he doesn't feel very invested. He's been here and calling things out and it's logical and makes sense but he can do that as mafia, easily. But it doesn't feel like he really cares about what he's saying. (3) He didn't clearly and concisely say why he thought Vivax was mafia until requested to, where if he really wanted Vivax lynched he could post a case on his own accord and actually push for that lynch. Before the flip raynpelikoneet didn't seem to care, and (4) after he didn't seem to care either, only talking about Jockmcplop and not any of his other scumreads. I'm trying to not focus too hard on deadline stuff because apparently he needed to sleep but despite that he feels a bit disconnected and slightly apathetic to the game, despite being very present. (2) That is just simply untrue. You can go to my filter and see that i was never convinced that Cake was mafia. The reason i voted for Vivax originally was because he wouldn't give me an answer to my concern. When i pushed for the answer i got a mafia answer. I had no reason to switch my vote. I don't think i also had no reason to NOT question other things i found suspicious since there was still a lot of time left in the day (i mean if i think Vivax is mafia for having a bs townread on me why should i do nothing else than yelling he is mafia???). Then Trfel made his super bad backpedal from Cake read and i called it out. Then Vivax made his bs meta read and i called it out and added it to my scumread on him. Another thing here. I tend to encourage people to think with their own brain. Just because i didn't write a big case on Vivax right after i had "all the pieces" doesn't mean i didn't care about my scumread (or the game or whatever Trfel is saying). If you carefully read my filter you can very easily tell why i scumread Vivax even without the case. Like it is super obvious or at least should be. In addition to that, i literally had no time between the post where i ended my "chat" with Vivax and when i answered Zey about why am i voting for Vivax. I can sure post my "schedule" for my wednesday if anyone is concerned and had you not lynched Cake she could even confirm i am not lying if anyone is STILL concerned.... (3) See above. (4) I am not sure what i was supposed to question? Can someone tell me why i should question my scumreads Vivax/Trfel on why they voted for someone else than Vivax/Trfel? Because for me the answer is apparent lol. Jock's vote change in the end was suspect to me. Because it made no sense from town pov. So that's why i questioned it. What else was i supposed to question? Smells like terrible argument with no thinking behind it. So there is that, ball's in your court now Trfel. (1) I apologize, I didn't mean to intentionally misrepresent your point. I just missed the key part, apparently. I've been playing really poorly this game My fault, not yours. That makes a whole lot more sense, I'll have to rethink that then.
(2) through (4) I feel like are just a matter of opinion. Maybe my opinion is wrong. I'm less confident now than I was before, not that I was super confident before anyway, let me try and reread and see if anything comes up.
|
Also, I apologize for my poor play this game. I don't really have any excuse I dunno why I'm so disconnected. I don't blame anyone for scumreading me because that makes total sense, heck I'd scumread myself if it wasn't for my role PM.
As far as the opening posts go, I found raynpelikoneet's first post (the "Hi" post) more interesting than Vivax's post, yes. I don't actually know what Vivax's post that you are referring to was (he only made one post at this time in the game, no?), I think some people are confused about what time I actually posted my point on. But the reasoning is the timing of the post. "Hi" isn't suspicious itself, it's that he didn't engage with the thread at all that I found slightly suspicious. It's not the content of the post, it's what wasn't in the post. Again, it's a small thing, and I was primarily focused on starting discussion, I don't actually think that makes raynpelikoneet mafia or anything. Just the best suspicion I had at the time.
If there are any further questions about this or anything else, please feel free to ask. I'll try and be around a bit. But it's difficult for me to get motivation to play when I can't figure out who is mafia and everyone thinks I am mafia

Yes, it's correct. My decision to scumread CopCake came in just a few minutes as I was quickly reading filters before the lynch.
As for why I questioned CopCake, if she didn't respond that way, then I think it would have been a valid reason to scumread her. Yes, I know I got the most likely response (regardless of alignment), but is that a reason to not try? Especially at the start of the game, I think it's worth pursuing a little, it doesn't hurt anything.

Oh, and who was it that accused me of having too low of an accuracy of scumreads? Yes I was wrong on CopCake, and for that I apologize, but being wrong in one read on Day 1 isn't that noteworthy honestly. Kinda annoyed at that reason to scumread me. Almost seems dumb enough I might OMGUS it.

But this point I just don't see how Trfel can survive D2, he's essentially been floating by without having to even put effort into the game. This is actually nonsense, sure I haven't been very effective but I have been here. I was absent for a 24-hour period (or so) in the middle of Day 1, but outside of that I've been here. I've explained reasons to be suspicious of people. I've contributed more reads and more explanations to the game than ShoCkeyy has, for example. Yes, I'm having a hard time finding mafia this game, but so is everyone. Blindly saying I'm not trying at all shows a clear lack of reading, and feels like blatantly lying about my play this game.
Players who "float by without putting in effort" don't reread filters, or post mini-cases, and post more when they're being scumread.

I can actually see the world where Copcake is town and Scum!Trfel sees Cake's townread of Jock as an easy thing to pick up. I don't think that Trfel's question about Cake's townread was scummy. To me it just looks somebody who wants people to talk more that game would really start. It would be different if he would have said that Cake is scummy because of that. But I'm still wondering why he said that rayn's first post was scummiest entrance. I mean I don't see how it would be scummiest and I don't see how Trfel can believe that he would get any read about rayn with something like that. Posts like this stick out to me too. Why bother defending someone you are about to scumread? Especially with how confident this early scumread seems to be.
Looking through Zey's filter, I'm actually extremely unimpressed. She has contributed very little to this game, only a scumread on me (discussed in most of her posts) and a scumread on Tictock (the only reason given is because his top scumread was ShoCkeyy). If you are trying to find a potential mafia floating "under the radar," look at Zey. I could very easily see Zey being mafia here.

I'm considering switching to copcake right now.
Reasons:
The voting late on which looks like self preservation, the threat to switch to trfel which i think comes from a mafia place (ensuring 3 votes on trfel because i was getting cold feet about the lynch), the early townread on me followed by reassuring me into keeping my vote on vivax. It all seems very convenient. Hmm, wasn't Cake getting cold feet before you even mentioned you were getting? Half an hour later Jock is dead. I just think subconsciously you probably would not start questioning someone who you know is not gonna be there to answer. Jeekaka, I think you are probably town (you've raised points that are actually decent), but I highly disagree with this. I know before that as mafia I have posted large cases on people that I was night-killing at the deadline, to make the night kill less associated with me. I don't think this is a valid point at all and would encourage you to re-evaluate your read on Zey.

Honestly I kinda liked raynpelikoneet's response to my post on him. His first point in particular makes a ton of sense, I had not thought about it that way at all. I can still see him being mafia here (I have little reason to townread him, since I know he is a strong scum player), but I'm a bit hesitant to lynch him today. I feel like ShoCkeyy and Zey are better targets.
I actually feel decent about mafia being in ShoCkeyy/Zey/maybe raynpelikoneet/mayyyyybe Vivax. I realize that Vivax has been lazy this game, which is consistent with his typical mafia meta (as breakable as that may be), and he is a very capable town player. So that does point to him being mafia. However I think it's possible for town players to have off-games, and if ever there was a game for an off-game, it would be this one (it's kinda demotivating when there is so little activity/response and everyone is suspicious of you, another example of this is myself of course). When I read Vivax's posts, in general his reads seem to make sense.
For example, in contrast to ShoCkeyy and Zey, Vivax has been lazier, but I know what he thinks and why. And except for the meta read on CopCake (as raynpelikoneet pointed out), I can see where he is coming from in his reads. He's brought up some original points and such. So I'm guessing Vivax is town here.
In fact, I should probably take a second look at Tictock, since Vivax says so. But for now, I'll vote for ShoCkeyy.

That’s exactly what you did to me. You said I had no reads yet you didn’t even try and read anything I wrote. You just put these huge walls of text and then say you’re going to vote for me. I feel like I essentially re-read your first 10 posts all over again.

I'm really not sure what you are getting at.
There's a really big difference between what I have said and "no reads." In fact, over these past several posts I've barely talked about you, because nothing has changed much. How do you feel like it's repetitive, when I barely mentioned you?

Look, ShoCkeyy, I'm happy to re-evaluate my read on you. But it's really hard for me to do that when you're accusing me of not reading your posts, when in fact I've done the opposite.
I made one post where I said I don't know what your reads are except for one scumread. Please go back in your filter and show me other posts you made before then with other reads. I acknowledged your one read.
In future posts, after which you posted more reads, I even acknowledged those reads. Your lack of reads is not a reason I am scumreading you, because you do have reads. That's what my posts say.
|
Looking through TicTock's filter, I think he could definitely be mafia here too. Probably not with ShoCkeyy, which puts me in an awkward position.
It's his read progression on ShoCkeyy and Vivax that makes no sense to me. He scumreads ShoCkeyy for posting useless things, sure. Then he eventually kinda backs off on ShoCkeyy some (? unclear what he really thought about ShoCkeyy) due to trusting Vivax, a null to slight town read. Then he decides that me and Vivax are mafia but still thinks ShoCkeyy is town, presumably based on Vivax's reasoning.
The ShoCkeyy read feels forced here. It goes away when it's convenient and comes back when it's convenient, regardless of what logic would suggest. The scumread on Vivax came up out of nowhere, too.

In the last couple of pages I’ve talked about tictock and Vivax to start.

What does that have anything to do with anything I said? I never said you didn't do that.
If you are town, please work with me here. If you're mafia, keep doing exactly this.
