![]() CopCake, I don't understand why you are townreading Jockmcplop so easily. Why couldn't he say that as mafia? | ||

Speaking of which, did you understand CopCake's townread of Jockmcplop? I mean I understand the words CopCake is saying, but I don't see why it makes Jockmcplop town at all. I see no reason he could not or would not say that as mafia. | ||

I personally joined this game mostly because i actually have to fogure out Vivax' alignment for once.. ![]() Vivax I feel like isn't too tricky? He made several mistakes and was giving himself away towards the end of last game. There were always just too many other issues to really address it. But maybe that's to his credit, I don't understand how to disrupt the thread very well. | ||

![]() I'll be around filtering people for a bit but I will likely go to sleep soon. I asked CopCake about her townread on Jockmcplop because she didn't say a key part of it, that Jockmcplop's post felt genuine/sincere. Without that statement, there is no actual reason to townread Jockmcplop. I know it wasn't likely to really go anywhere, but it's the start of the game, I'll jump on anything I can ![]() | ||

I'm just having a ton of trouble finding mafia this game. I blame foremost my lack of effort, but secondly the lack of information/content to use. CopCake seems like the most likely mafia from what I have read so far though. | ||

Being so confident in assuming people are mafia (specifically me, and I've barely posted). It's hard to articulate but it just feels false to me. It also doesn't feel like you care about getting your target lynched. Moreso than indecision, it feels like apathy, which I really don't like. In contrast to someone like Zey, who made only a few posts but does seem clearly invested in the lynch and cares about it.Idk what is worse Tfrl's "I have to sleep" two times consecutive promising reads or Vivax's saying my meta that then later apparently is irrelevant. So far I think Jock/Jekaka/Tiktock should be in the never lynch forever. Zey are you there? | ||

ShoCkeyy, what you're saying really doesn't make any sense at all to me. Yes I played in the Oil Futures mafia, but just because one of the lynch targets happened to be mafia there doesn't mean that they are here. That's very poor reasoning and I think you should know better than that. | ||

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.Vote count when you arrive: Vivax (3): Jockmcplop, raynpelikoneet, CopCake Trfel (2): Zey, Jeekaka CopCake (2): Vivax, ShoCkeyy ShocCkey (1): TicTock So, you dont think Vivax is town. You and cake are both next in two votes, and you vote Cake soon after, so you definitely don't think she's town. So what on earth does this mean then? | ||

Going to read some filters. I really don't like ShoCkeyy, I think Tictock is probably town, and possibly Jockmcplop, and maybe Vivax too. | ||

The thing that makes me doubt (other than ShoCkeyy being difficult to read, caveat that I've read him correctly as both alignments) is that he did seem to care who was lynched Day 1. That makes me more unsure and hesitant. | ||

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. 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 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. | ||

I've been playing really poorly this game I am gonna answer Trfel though. Obviously i dont think his case has any merit but i wanna see what he does after. First thing is this: (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. (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. ![]() (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. | ||

![]() 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 ![]() | ||

On June 06 2020 03:34 Zey wrote: Yes, it's correct. My decision to scumread CopCake came in just a few minutes as I was quickly reading filters before the lynch.In my opinion it did just appear. Even if you forget what he said N1 and D1 on the last hour, still. I don't see any hint that Trfel would think that Cake is scum. Like here: (1) If I'm understanding this right he is saying that his question to Cake didn't lead to any opinion about her and there wasn't even really a change to lead anywhere. (2) Trfel is saying that even rayns hi was scummier than Cakes townread on Jock. And (3) he doesn't really think that even that was scummy. So how you are thinking that Cake read didn't just appear? 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. | ||

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.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. Players who "float by without putting in effort" don't reread filters, or post mini-cases, and post more when they're being scumread. | ||

On June 02 2020 23:50 Zey wrote: 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.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. 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 don't think this is a valid point at all and would encourage you to re-evaluate your read on Zey.And that detail about Zey: 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Mostly I just wonder about you and Vivax hard townreading each other. You yourself admit it's very reasonable to suspect you - what do you think about Vivax not suspecting you at all? Vivax knows my play fairly well, he was actually my coach in my first mafia game here. He knows I've had my share of effortful and lazy games. Furthermore I don't think he's calling me town, I believe he's more saying I'm null, which is (imo) a reasonable stance.

It's kinda telling at quick glance. - Settles for a very early cop townread. - Agrees with cop early on Shockeyy being scum. - His followup before deadline doesn't reflect any intention of directing the lynch either way, when he really should have a clear cut opinion of what the game should be doing. - Most posts are rather focused at discussing stuff from all sorts of topics. Like asking me about what I was saying about cake, but not really coming out with something from it that would make him say I'm wrong and cake is town. Or I'm mafia and cake is town. He just kinda okay's the replies he gets and minds his own business. - Instead asks me why he should consider zey, then asks Jock why he should consider me. Two posts he's doubting his Trfel read, then his read on me. He has a very hands-off approach to the game. He did look at zey but didn't come out with a conclusion, just a question of whether zey thinks he's scum. Then he voted me for the sake of not voting cop. Again, easy out. You don't get the feeling TT analyzes posts and asks question to reach a clear-cut way of seeing the game that he can stick to and influence the lynch the way he likes. It's really just a pretense to be insecure, while usually that should push townies towards reconsidering things in a hurry, he appears more calm and mechanical. Shouldn't he have had a clear opinion to lynch Shockeyy considering he was questioning my townread on him? That read just sort of went away towards the end and he was just contemplating Trfel, myself, even after I apparently swayed him that Shock could be town. tl;dr: I don't think Ticktock has a real opinion on things and he's struggling to make it look like he does.

But that's the point, he's not trying to look like he's trying hard and the way he casually called out rayn felt townie to me. As mafia he was more...Contributive, but in a quantity over quality way. While he talked about a lot of stuff you didn't get a picture of where his head was at, much like I feel about TT this game. | ||

![]() But seriously, I don't know why people really think I am mafia here. I can understand not thinking I am town, but I don't understand why everyone is so convinced I am mafia. Yes, my activity was quite poor earlier. However, I've changed that now. I'm here, I'm present, I'm playing, I'm contributing quality thoughts. That's more than you can say for many of the players in this game. So what if I find different things interesting than other people? Isn't that the beauty of the game, that different things stick out to different players? What a boring game it would be otherwise. How does that make me mafia? Yes, my reads can change quickly. If you want meta, that's been a major mark of my town play the past few years (and unfortunately, is one of the main reasons why my lynch % has increased significantly), because I don't spend the time to review every little thing like I used to, so new information/new perspectives readily changes my reads. Fluid reads is generally considered a towny trait, as mafia have trouble changing their reads quickly. Especially when justified. The one suspicious thing I've done is being wrong on CopCake. Granted, that was quite poor, and for that I (once again) apologize to all. But understand that I was in a rush to try and find something, as voting is mandatory in this game. Look at my play here, trying to analyze all of the possibilities and figure out the best lynch. This is how I play when I have more time and can analyze things more effectively. But in a five minute window or so, I'm not really sure what you expect from me. I am really hesitant to say this, because saying this was a huge part of why I got lynched last game, but I'm probably not going to be around much tomorrow ![]() So there. Do whatever you want. But I think I've played a very reasonable game, I think I've put forth a decent scum pool and as time permits I'll keep working to find the mafia. I encourage everyone to re-evaluate and take a look at what I've posted. I encourage those scumreading Vivax to take another look. I am confident that mafia is riding all of the easy Trfel/Vivax scumreads and not justifying them well, just following thread sentiment (because they aren't well-justified reads). If you lynch me, that's on you. | ||

Read Zey's filter and honestly tell me she is town this game. Null at best. The list post is another example of Zey failing to evaluate this game. Look at how she is suspicious of four-five people in a game with two mafia, yet she's okay with that. She's not engaging to try and figure things out, not really interacting, just answering questions/requests. Also note that her top scumread posted a ton of posts and a ton of new content, and Zey just completely ignored it. Didn't re-evaluate, didn't even mention why it means they are still mafia. Passed over all of their explanations of old questions, too. Honestly reeks of mafia. | ||
