Also I like that post on MrZentor.

Good shit.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: if you're a town aligned player, you'll do this. You won't do it for me, you'll do it for town.

Being an effective town leader doesn't just mean herding people in your chosen direction with your iron fist of terror-- it also means picking your targets accurately, making good reads, being well-reasoned, and identifying and helping to build good cases.

The fact of the matter is that there shouldn't BE a town-leader. The fact of the matter is that everyone should be reading the thread and coming to their own conclusions.

Lacking that, I felt the need to provide a strong voice for those who are less than willing to read and think to follow if they wished. Admittedly that came across as a little harsher than I'd intended, but there you have it.

So yeah, you could say that I "disagree with the thrust of your argument". I also think you're scum.

Let me rephrase, because it would appear I haven't come across clearly.

This is the thrust of my argument:

Let me rephrase that:

I'm not doing shit overnight. If I'm still alive in the morning I'll push for your lynch. Until then anything I say is a waste because you're expending a terrible amount of pressure to discredit anything I say. Fuck that.

I'd rather do it after I've survived the night.

Had you even read the thread by that point? Why did you vote him and not another one?
Generally when one makes a placeholder vote, you make it on yourself or on a random person, which clearly wasn't the case.
What were your reasons for voting C_C? Just because he had the majority?
If so, can't you see how bad that is?

Now that I have had time to do some investigating, I am certain that I'm not the only one with a really bad feeling about VE. He ran a hard "lynch C_C" campaign on D1.

I'm taking a look at the C_C wagon. At the very least 2 and probably more scum are on the wagon.


I know that I'm already a prime target, so I don't think I'm losing a friend by bringing this up, and certainly not hurting the town. VE ran a pretty vicious witch hunt, and will probably do the same again.


So what do you think about other players and cases against other players? What do you think about my case against Blue and Zentor?

Final question: Why shouldn't a vig just shoot you tonight? You need to become way more active and contribute more than this if you want to even help us. You've already skated by 1 whole cycle, we can't allow you to do the same on D2.


What case against me?

I wasn't aware of this injustice!


Can you take this seriously please? *sigh*

@sloosh: good find, I didn't notice that first post of his regarding C_C.




@BH,VE: Why the hell don't you guys do something more productive than this pointless bickering?

Here, I made a program that exactly defines the last 3 pages:



int main()
{
      while(BH && VE==retarded)
      {
            BH: VE, be sure to post your reads before the deadline;
            VE: You are scum and I'll get shot tonight;
            BH: No you wont, you are useless;
      }
return 0;
}





I'm going to uni right now, will be back after night ends, so hopefully see you later.

I'm still well on course to posting my reads and analysis before deadline. I see no reason not to point out VE's retardation between now and then, however. In the implausibly unlikely scenario that he does in fact get shot, it would be good to have his analysis before then.

Also I'd just like to note that puppet VE's statement here is dumb. If he's gonna get shot tonight, HE SHOULD POST HIS ANALYSIS BEFORE THE DEADLINE.

This is written on page 12, after VE posted his initial case on CC and much after CC posted his first post containing the "accusation" and the flag. Then comes a couple of pages of discussion on gonzaw, bluelightz, ET and such. Nothing but one post from Nemesis, who comments the "lack of stance" as suspicious. Watch MrZentor's next post:

I do agree that his initial accusation looks suspicious. The flag is really bizarre, because I couldn't imagine posting it as mafia or towns person. If I were mafia, why would I call attention to myself with a conspicuous flag? If I were a towns person, why would I give the mafia a hint at my nationality? Currently, he does seem like the scummiest player, because of the subtle accusation accompanied with his other posts.



I think it would be better to lynch C_C for now.

There is nothing in the thread itself discussing the flag itself. There is no new public content in between his first post in which he says "people are reading too much into his initial post", and "his initial post looks suspicious". He agrees that the flag is really bizarre but did not mention it in his first post - taking a very neutral stance if you will. Then suddenly he agrees with VE that the flag is indeed bizarre, despite the fact that no one has talked about it. He also throws in the bogus last line, indicating that his subtle accusation is also evidence against him, despite the fact that "people are reading too much into his initial post".

Verdict: MrZentor initially took a neutral stance, and after observation of how the town reacted to the case decided to help push it along. The lack of public thread discussion and the sharp contrast in his stance against CC suggests that he has talked to other people about it (read. scum buddies).

Also his initial post suggesting town lynch lurkers after hitting a few scum is downright weird.


I thought one thing and posted another. :/ I meant to say that people were reading too far into the flag on his first post. It was bizarre, but it really didn't tell us anything about C_C, so it was best to ignore it. It is important to note C_C's underhanded accusation of VE. It seemed like a scummy action.

I need to take a nap and won't be awake at daybreak, so I'm posting this now.

Here are a few thoughts I haven't fully articulated yet in this thread.

I'll begin with some thoughts on 3C and VE.


Firstly, I wouldn't assume VE is scum just because of his scummy interactions with me. VE being "pissed off" seems a little fake to me, given how typically unfazed he is by this sort of thing. Although VE's town play is typified by caution and a lack of confidence in his own thoughtss gradually unfolding into a solid set of reads, I wouldn't assume he's scum just based on meta. That being said, as I'm sure you're aware, having him lead the town didn't go well. This is in part his fault, but it's also your fault for following him. Don't be afraid to challenge him, or anyone, in the thread. It doesn't make you scum to do so. Arguing is what makes us stronger.

Secondly, 3C has done nothing as of the writing of this post to indicate he's town. If he lives through the night and isn't helpful D2, he should be lynched. If he's town, and he's truly done being "busy", you can and should anticipate something better out of him than his current sorry filter. There's some possibility of mod action as well, so that may change things. If he gets replaced out, that doesn't mean he wasn't lurking D1, however. Keep an eye on him, but don't let some single-minded wagon totally crush the town atmosphere like it did in student mafia Day 3. We must not repeat the town's mistake that game: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=291067&currentpage=47#933 but only if he contributes. Otherwise, lynch him.




SlOosh asked me to take a look at MrZ as a lynch candidate. I thought I'd save his question for later, so here it is:

Here are my thoughts on MrZ:

Blazinghand ---> Catapaulted to very sure is townie from his recent posting(Active, Pressuring people, etc) and being funny and awesome in starcraft ^_^

Some random summaries

MrZentor --> Has been following Discussion, has not provided any reads, I'd love some reads from him.

gonzaw --> Has followed discussion, setup speculation, I'd love some reads and more content from him .

ET --> Townie, has followed discussion pressed people to post, preety townie

C_C ---> Needs to step up, he has nothing of substance, has not taken a stance on anything yet, I want reads, willing to lynch depending on what he post's next.



Sorry, I have been dreaming.

Anyways, here are a few of my thoughts.

BH seems like a rash townie, who is fairly good a pressuring. However, he doesn't seem able to discern a noobie town from scum.

JW seems like a noobie town, who did the wrong thing under pressure and is now realizing this.

C_C looks a little suspicious because of his first post, but I feel that people are reading too far into that.

VE seems to be promoting a good townie environment and being a lot calmer than BH. I am most afraid of him being scum, because if he were, I would never know.

Those are a few thoughts on the biggest players.
To be honest, I don't feel there is anybody worth analyzing yet, and there isn't much to analyze.



2) He continues with what I'd characterize as the most noncommittal case possible on ET: + Show Spoiler +

It shouldn't be at all different no? Actually I've been meaning to ask a similar question.
Does a closed-setup in general change basic scumhunting principles or do they just allow/favor different styles of play?


honestly I am treating this game like a standard Mini Mafia, with the knowledge that there is probably a few doods with nukes or powers revolving around nukes. AKA, re-skinned medics/vigs.

and if there's anything I learned from minis, it's that there's always scum hiding in the lurkers. In general I'll always argue against policy lynches (because they're bad) but in a Mini, with so few people town simply cannot afford to have non-contributors whose alignment cannot be determined. People lurking scummily (yeah there's a difference between innocent lurking and scummily lurking) should be axed over someone with only a weak case on them.

gonzaw! shouldn't you be spamming the thread by now?


He continues his good townie streak by questioning BH's play with reasons.

Good morning, gentlemen.

First off, regarding our discussion of policy lynches: I personally apply a soft "lynch all lurkers" and "lynch all liars" policy to all the games in which I play. My first goal is always to lynch scum. Scum likes to lurk, and scum likes to lie. I am highly suspicious of lurkers and liars, but I will not automatically lynch every lurker and every liar-- this is too easily abused by scum. That being said, I have lynched lurkers and liars in the past and am not afraid to do so in this game. Nobody can convince me to modify my personal stance and I will not do so.

Secondarily, regarding setup: This is fairly simple. This is a closed setup with 10 town and 4 scum. Scum can win by either the traditional fashion, or by destroying 5 specific players or the other 5 specific players as an alternative wincon. It is immediately obvious that we should not share our alignment. Anarcy fo life

As town, it's hard to stay with a solid stance. Games change, and ultimately these little things never seem to come up anyway. As mafia, having a solid stance and sticking with it is basically a free pass.
Ultimately, 'lurking' and 'lying' are only a fraction of a persons play.

However, if it's a stance you want:
In my experience, the moment you bother lynching the lurkers is the moment you know mafia are in control of the game, especially if it's done sooner.
WIFOM
If we can conclusively prove someone was lying, that person should be suspect in the first place, and automatically be rated higher than lurkers.
Thanks for stating the obvious.

This is a rather crappy post. Town SHOULD always take a stance. If your stance change throughout the game, then you just have to explain why it changed. Scum are the only one who should fear taking stances, as they can get caught when their explanation doesn't match with their stance.


The town should not take a unified stance. If we rigidly follow a unified stance scum will just crap on us. We must always adapt to the situation at hand. The idea that you're somehow gonna catch scum because of their thoughts on a POLICY LYNCH is so utterly preposterous as to be asinine in character. Policy lynches are the last resort of a lost town, not some vital centerpiece for scumhunting. I hope you can understand that.

In this image: Blazinghand and Nemesis.

Lol, ok one last post before I go to sleep.

Stop misrepresenting what I said to defend your scummate:
1. I never said that town should take a unified stance. Just that they should take a stance on important things.
2. I never said we shouldn't adapt. In fact, I explicitly said that stances do change, and you just need to explain it when they change.
3. I never said that discussing policy lynches are important.

Sinensis, would you please stop inflating useless topics?



1) the idea that the town should take a stance is not good. Individually, we should make our own stances and developed them with the discussion
3) discussion of policy lynches implies they are important. I believe they are important insofar as we use them in an appropriate faction.

It seems to me that your statements are unnecessarily aggressive and are hurting the town atmosphere. Your removal will help the town greatly and improve our discourse.

In any case, I think this will be appropriate:

blzinghand, I feel that you're being the unnecessarily aggressive one here. first you say it's bad that nemesis is using policy as a centerpiece for lynching, then you state it's bad that nemesis says policy lynch discussion isn't important? your arguement doesn't flow. and dude, you misread his original post; he's saying "town should take stance" as in townies should each have their own stance. ur being all flashy and stuff. is this normal BH?

Being good at arguing doesn't make you town. At this point you're just wildly voting people. Sowing dat chaos. Way to take the one off statement in his post and ignore the rest. You're voting people off of semantic mistakes as opposed to having any real reasoning, so thread flounders under your boot. As you might say, this kind of thinking hurts town. Scum.


He does this a few times throughout his posts. To be honest, I can't decide if this is town or mafia behavior. He could be a town who is mixing BH's and VE's styles. He could be scum trying to make it seem like he is helping town while sowing chaos. I'll let somebody else decide. :/



But take a look at how he ends that case.

This is a very long analysis to be non-committal. "I'll let somebody else decide" could be a noob move, but in my book this is another mark in the "points towards scum" column.

Coupled with slOosh's case regarding MrZ's reasoning to hop onto the C_C wagon, I think there's a case to be made here.


He's not my main man, though. I think we need to go after Sinensis. See my next post.

What I'm really interested in, though, is what happened with C_C's wagon. It revealed to me that Sin is scum:

The wagon didn't provide me much until I reached the part where Sin votes: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=322686&currentpage=18#356

So you just alignment claimed soviet for the second time? You are also grouping people based on Nationality.

Only one class benefits from grouping based on Nationality, so indeed, gg Nazi.

##vote: Cyber_Cheese


I don't like this at all. I think this is a completely empty/worthless reason for voting him. IF you look at it, there's no possible way C_C could know the nationality of people other than himself. Sure, he was soft-claiming SU again, but he also has some other named whirled about in his diagram in various locations.

Now, to the untrained observer, it might seem like C_C is claiming that me, Nem, and 3C are US, whereas he, JE, and ET are SU. But anyone who recieved a townie PM or read the PM in the OP immediately knows that C_C has NO IDEA what anyone's alignment is but his. Those other names are just put in there randomly.

So.. what is Sin talking about here?

Let me get this straight: you think that this post you've quoted somehow has anything to do with anyone's nationality? C_C only knows his own nationality... and he's already soft-claimed AND backtracked SU. There's literally no way he was gonna align-fish anything with this latter post that he wouldn't have already with the first post, assuming people are reading the thread. This is a bad and scummy reason to vote for C_C. Was the flag not enough, but somehow this graphic is?


It is the combination of the flag and the graphic, and the fact that he is segregating names in his graphic based on nationality.

Emphasis mine.

Again, there's no way anyone could know anyone's nationality. What's Sin talking about? This in particular isn't a reason to think C_C is scum. Sure, the fact that he personally has been softclaiming SU, and has been seen as "align-fishing", that's a reason. But the fact that he's "sorting people"? That doesn't make sense at all.

I press further:

Explain how the segregating names in his graphic based on nationality does anything to help scum or hurt town?


Mafia wins if they kill every citizen of one nationality. Dividing reads by nationality supports that agenda.


WHAT?? How?

That was flavour only.


The flag and writing "me" in the soviet side of the graphic was flavor too, right? Have all your posts been flavor only? Maybe we should all give you a clean slate and unvote you since I seem to have voted based on something you posted only for flavor.

Assuming CC is indeed town and not scum, I currently do not have a read on whether or not he is US or SU, and nobody who is reasonable does either.


I consider myself reasonable and I have a read on his alignment. I think he's a nazi. Based on votes, 5 other people thing he's a nazi.

Again, this is all based on the LONE guy who softclaimed a nationality in the thread. Sinensis isn't saying "C_C is suspicious because he soft-claimed a nationality, and he's not scumhunting." -- he's saying that C_C somehow has reads on other player's nationalities and is revealing them to his scumbuddies in the thread.

Sinensis isn't bringing up some reasonable argument, the argument that all the town players would be convinced by.

I keep on pressing, even, and he completely diverts to some unrelated post: + Show Spoiler +

QFFT


Right, but you admit you don't know whether anyone is US or SU, and it's GOOD that this is the case. In any case C_C is probably scum, but JW is DEFINITELY scum. That being said, it's not unreasonable that they're both scum. I think JW is a better lynch than C_C for reasons I have outlined in my two analysis posts above.


Not that arguing with you has produced results for anyone else that has tried, but is this the anaysis post you are referring to?

I daresay my logic is largely non-ridiculous. It may appear ridiculous to you, but god does not play dice with the universe. Humor me a moment, and let me seduce you with my lascivious arguments.

A) Johnnywup's initial "pressure" on me was actually rather half-assed and non-comittal. I found his statement that "scum wouldn't play this bad" (or equivalent) to be an anti-town statement.

B) I call him out in a typically aggressive fashion. He responds in this way:

and hows it anti-town to have bad logic? it just means you're unhelpful, that doesn't mean you're anti-town.. And my logic is perfectly sound thank you.


One thing that really sets me off about you is your willingness to shift your vote to me after any pressure at all. You didn't have a case on Nemesis and you don't have a case on me.



This is generally a bad post. I really don't like this particular section:

I think any marginally experienced player, or even someone who sits down and thinks about how mafia works should realize that bad logic being posted in the thread DOES hurt the town. as a town player, you want to avoid doing this. As a scum player, you are happy when you see this. bad logic hurts the town. it is anti town, then.

And other than these two posts, he has had a generally underwhelming filter:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=322686&user=99700


"But, blazinghand, most of JW's stuff wasn't even there during your initial accusation! what was the deal there?"

Admittedly, my first post in which I voted him was grasping slightly at straws. this town is silent and there was basically no analysis happening. I needed to get things rolling. His utterly catastrophic responses to me after voting him have made me realize that this guy is scum, and deserves to be lynched.

Anybody who examines his filter can look and see that there is something amiss. this is now how a town player would play.

I stand by my vote, for new reasons that are stronger than the ones for which it was initially made.

The evidence is there. all you need to do is open your eyes.


I redded the part I need to comment on, not because I am speculating you are Soviet but just because there is a lot of other formatting in this post. Your argument against johnny is that bad logic hurts the town and he said otherwise. You say bad logic hurts the town and is thus anti town again in this post.

I'd say "come at me bro" but your argumentation skills are so benign I feel like any "pressure" you put on me will only serve to exonerate me.


There's two examples of your belief that "bad logic hurts the town and is thus anti town."

Well maybe you could comment on some of your own bad logic. Or do you need me to go back and quote just about every post you made in the beginning to remind you? My point is the case you are using against johnnywup works better on you than it does him, and that if "bad logic" is the criteria you are going to use to place your vote, maybe you ought to vote yourself.



So, to summarize: Sinensis gives a completely nonsense reason for why he voted C_C, and defends it only by diverting my pressure and dodging my questions. nothing he says makes any sense. at all. He proceeds to lurk and only comes back to the thread for a few one-liners without followup and posts this:
On March 29 2012 13:45 Sinensis wrote:
Maybe I am being overly simplistic, but I think we should lynch Blazinghand because I do not believe all 4 scum would vote for the same townie when it was certain the townie was dying anyway.


Which I, of course, personally believe to be trash.

------

So, in summary, I'm sure Sinensis is scum. Judging by the way he voted C_C, and his reasoning for voting C_C, and the way he responded to my questioning, I find this to be very likely. It's also worth noting that he and VE soft defend each other a once, but it could easily be this case with VE being town as well, so it can't be said that it's a scumtell. Still, read through Sinensis explanation for his C_C vote and his response to my pressure. It makes NO SENSE AT ALL. It started here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=322686&currentpage=18#356

Sinensis is scum. Read his filter, and his post on C_C, and his reasoning. It will reveal the truth.
