I don't care he buddies to me. As town or Mafia it fits how the thread has shaped.

I think he pulled up some interesting posts. He has no such limited cred can't start a wagon either so that's pretty much max output he can do as a townie.

Would he do that as mafia? I genuinely don't think so.

This is total nonsense btw.

Last game scott went (correctly) hard at oats really early.

If anything this points towards him mafia here, not town.

Oats - Im not sure Vivax is a great lynch today.

Listening to DMB at least today on Vivax doesn’t seem like a bad idea regardless of her alignment. I’ve flicked Vivax’s filter again and although he could definitely be… more vivaxy? - it also isn’t really giving me scum vibes after all.

Tbh calling me town does freak me out a little bit but he’s actually done the same as town in a very recent game, so maybe his outlook on me is maturing a little?

I think the weird way he’s going about this Mocsta push is probably more likely to come from the town version of himself. It’s game relevant but he’s making it weird, which is classic Vivax

Can you post some hunting he is doing that isn't refrencing me (cause to me that Is a point against him) just curious what you consider active hunting.



https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=28189181
reading it again it could also be a way to +1 onto you.. doesnt personally give me scummy vibes

https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=28189185
fair call out, although could be town or mafia

https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=28189222
this one is a little peculiar *because* on his summary list, he put sandroba as could lynch & rsoultin as town.. so i cant really imagine myself or town asking that question

https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=28189519
i personally think that question aligns with his game position
i think its more likely for town to ask than mafia given my game position
average heuristic at best but one i still give some weighting to

i've ignored the posts relating to you

Come now.

You’re smart enough to know that mafia need to fit in and town generally don’t care as they just want to find mafia.

That’s not to say it’s a 100% thing else I’d have switched my vote to you immediately. But you know what I’m saying is true.

As an aside that’s where the kelsier town read came from. He so blatantly wasn’t trying to pacify you or town. Again this is not 100% but it’s a townie trait and not a mafia trait.

you know there was a post before you said.. it works both ways.. scum marv is too smart to do that as well

same with the fit in comment.. scum mocsta definitely wouldnt throw that out there

i hear what you are saying, doesnt change both need to fit in. for me the weighting is a bit stronger cos i have a big ego

Hi trfel
.your post #715 on oats
I don't really get it

I had a read of oats filter and didn't see the same things you raised.
His filter is consistent focus and attitude/tone. He's kept prodding the same things regardless of buy in, which yes can be scummy. Yet. He's updating the read as the conviction increases which I find townie.

There was a post early game about you and Ryan that stuck out to me and made me wonder about a scum duo of rayn and oats but that's really clutching at straws and nothing I intend to pursue.
Thanks for taking the time. I guess I didn't even see a ton of Oatsmaster bringing up the same things, I can try and look again though.

@marvellosity, I think Mocsta is easier to read than several other players this game due to a combination of activity and unique thoughts. He's been present and involved and has been very willing to provide his own take, which often differs from that of everyone else and the thread consensus. I think this gives a lot of extra information with which we can figure out his alignment more easily.

Also, someone asked about die_meatbaby's meta, I'm far from an expert but I would say her play matches my expectations close enough. That doesn't mean she is town or mafia necessarily, but this is the kind of play I was expecting. With the Vivax focus, paranoia of influential players, hesitance to commit to early reads, etc.

Kinda confused about what these last 2-3 pages were about but I'm too lazy/sleepy to go to my computer and actually figure it out, oh well Too lazy to visit the links Mocsta brought up about scott31337, can someone tell me if it makes sense or not?

Happy to talk about most anything, but prefer to talk about Kelsi3r or Oatsmaster.

I'd like to go back to this, actually. Can you help show me where you're seeing meaningful contribution besides Oatsmaster's push on Vivax? Or ways that Oatsmaster's push on Vivax has more substance/quality than I gave it credit for?

My interpretation is that Oatsmaster has been unhelpful besides the push on Vivax, and that his push on Vivax is unfounded and based on poor reasoning. If you disagree, if you could point me to examples of why, that'd be great.

Couple of thoughts after Mocsta interactions

- it seems to me like he is drawing conclusions and then making really terrible justifications for them rather than acting with a curious and open mind to determine alignments

- it seems to me he is cautious and almost apologetic when pushing me, despite being his 2nd? Largest scum read. Tracks as mafia lynching town, not as town who thinks they have got a lead on mafia.

- his reasoning and justifications are awful and nonsensical.

the problem I am having is I do t know why he would play like this as either alignment.

- option 1 he is tying himself up into knots because he is pushing mafia agenda

-option 2 he is town and he legitimately thinks these things.

I view option 1 more likely through my lens of how the game should be played, and what is reasonable to expect from town and mafia.

It seems trfel thinks the other option would be more likely.

I’d just like to get some more thoughts itt about this.

AlphaZero, honestly I get the impression you are ignoring me. Which isn't the worst thing in the world, but I would at least like to clarify if it's because you think I am mafia or because you think I am not being productive or what.

Hi trfel
.your post #715 on oats
I don't really get it

I had a read of oats filter and didn't see the same things you raised.
His filter is consistent focus and attitude/tone. He's kept prodding the same things regardless of buy in, which yes can be scummy. Yet. He's updating the read as the conviction increases which I find townie.

There was a post early game about you and Ryan that stuck out to me and made me wonder about a scum duo of rayn and oats but that's really clutching at straws and nothing I intend to pursue.
Thanks for taking the time. I guess I didn't even see a ton of Oatsmaster bringing up the same things, I can try and look again though.

@marvellosity, I think Mocsta is easier to read than several other players this game due to a combination of activity and unique thoughts. He's been present and involved and has been very willing to provide his own take, which often differs from that of everyone else and the thread consensus. I think this gives a lot of extra information with which we can figure out his alignment more easily.

Also, someone asked about die_meatbaby's meta, I'm far from an expert but I would say her play matches my expectations close enough. That doesn't mean she is town or mafia necessarily, but this is the kind of play I was expecting. With the Vivax focus, paranoia of influential players, hesitance to commit to early reads, etc.

Kinda confused about what these last 2-3 pages were about but I'm too lazy/sleepy to go to my computer and actually figure it out, oh well Too lazy to visit the links Mocsta brought up about scott31337, can someone tell me if it makes sense or not?

Happy to talk about most anything, but prefer to talk about Kelsi3r or Oatsmaster.

Fundamentally I just think there’s so much weak sauce in there. Some of which I’ve talked about, some of which I haven’t (like p, just as a random example, taking a scott post commenting on DMB’s absence. It means nothing for Scott’s alignment either way. Obviously either alignment can make that sort of post. How has this even made it into an analysis?)

I’m wary of falling into the trap that this must mean mafia. As I can understand why you have posted what you have said about him here. But meeeeeeeeeh

Couple of thoughts after Mocsta interactions

- it seems to me like he is drawing conclusions and then making really terrible justifications for them rather than acting with a curious and open mind to determine alignments

- it seems to me he is cautious and almost apologetic when pushing me, despite being his 2nd? Largest scum read. Tracks as mafia lynching town, not as town who thinks they have got a lead on mafia.

- his reasoning and justifications are awful and nonsensical.

the problem I am having is I do t know why he would play like this as either alignment.

- option 1 he is tying himself up into knots because he is pushing mafia agenda

-option 2 he is town and he legitimately thinks these things.

I view option 1 more likely through my lens of how the game should be played, and what is reasonable to expect from town and mafia.

It seems trfel thinks the other option would be more likely.

I’d just like to get some more thoughts itt about this.


I think this is a nigh on perfect summary. Well done

Oats - Im not sure Vivax is a great lynch today.

Listening to DMB at least today on Vivax doesn’t seem like a bad idea regardless of her alignment. I’ve flicked Vivax’s filter again and although he could definitely be… more vivaxy? - it also isn’t really giving me scum vibes after all.

Tbh calling me town does freak me out a little bit but he’s actually done the same as town in a very recent game, so maybe his outlook on me is maturing a little?

I think the weird way he’s going about this Mocsta push is probably more likely to come from the town version of himself. It’s game relevant but he’s making it weird, which is classic Vivax

It’s not that he’s calling you town specifically. It’s just a complete nonsensical train of thought from a town player to open the way vivax did and then try to appear random and “townie” by throwing out random townreads

Hard for me to see AZ as mafia rn as his world view on this aligns so precisely with mine.

AlphaZero, honestly I get the impression you are ignoring me. Which isn't the worst thing in the world, but I would at least like to clarify if it's because you think I am mafia or because you think I am not being productive or what.


Honestly I’m not ignoring you intentionally. I’m reading and considering about your posts.

I don’t really agree with some of your conclusions, but I don’t want to stop you from doing your thing, or get bogged down in arguing about it.

Did I miss a question you asked me?

I’m just using the little time I have to follow my own lines of inquiry.

That was just from my pov obviously.

Fwiw, he posted a townread on me like that in isolation last time too. Don’t wanna go on about it as it’s just one thing.

But all you’re saying here is Vivax is random and all over the place, and that is not a scumcase on Vivax.
