The only person I think MIGHT have a grasp on my scum play in this game is Marv, and he picked me out DAY ONE in Nomination, the very game Yamato is touting as his proof that he can read me. GUESS WHAT YAMATO YOU CAN'T BECAUSE I'M TOWN. YOUR TELL DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE BECAUSE I AT NO POINT EVER "PUSHED" A TOWN WAGON, I WAS PUSHING THE DIRK SCUM WAGON AS HARD AS I COULD. SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?! | ||

you are threatening me to believe that you believe that I am town. Or to quote you "That's all you should care about" implying I shouldn't care about your alignment. Its hilarious because it isn't something town VE thinks. Also because you have called me scum in the past for saying you are a strong town player (NMM IV) and so me calling you out on your bullshit with no reasoning on my part should strike you as scummy or something. But it didn't. Because you know I am town. | ||

You never commented on ANY of the content in my post. That IS suspicious, but if your read of me is genuine, it's at least understandable. That's why I asked if this shit is for fucking real - because I need to know if you're being fucking dumb or malicious. The fact that you're in here trying to justify that laughably bad post is evidence that it's the former. Now to determine if it's because you're town and actually think I'm scum, or if it's because you're scum trying to discredit me. Fucking bullshit, I had you guys so firmly green before Prom. I am disappoint. | ||

I have the information and reads I need. And because there is zero chance I'm the nightkill (seriously fucking none, look at me i haven't even posted enough to give blue vibes or anything) I don't have to explain anything until day. | ||

Dr. Parnassus - he has been the guy, and specifically thrawn, with the highest thread presence, constantly pushing things, arguing, discussing. thrawn is a wallflower as mafia. I've no reason whatsoever to think the Dr. is mafia. Moology - Kei and I had some disagreements about this originally, but I'm fairly convinced Moology is town. Mocsta was arguing with the Dr. earlier in the thread, but took the opportunity to abandon the argument. Mocsta, as mafia, LOVES these arguments. He'll literally go at it for pages and pages, but here he didn't. In addition to this, his posts feel sincere, I can follow his thought process, his suspicions, and he seems to be genuinely trying to figure things out. Promato - again, and I checked twice because of Hapa, Promato's posts feel genuine. There's plenty of off the cuff natural stuff in their filter. His list post is actually good because I agreed with the reads and reasoning, and in addition the way he went about his XXXI_ObsQT read looked good, as Keirathi highlighted earlier. He could easily have continued finding him suspicious, was almost encouraged to do so in fact, but backed down from it. NewbieXXXI_obsQT - I've simply not seen much to make me think they're mafia. Unlike thrawn, I have seen the lightheartedness I expect from iamp's posts, for example his replies to me when he was trying to 'trap' me when I said I never scumslip. On Hapa's part, Hapa is a player that when he's mafia, all his posts just feel horrible. See Duel Mafia where in N0 I said on more than one occasion things like "I don't like any of Hapa's posts" or "nothing Hapa has done makes me think he's town". Here, I don't get that feeling at all, there seems to be a genuine thought process and I'm liking what I see (despite the slightly limited activity compared to normal). TheCastingGolems - this is the townread I'm least sure about, although I still think they're town. Actually I find their arguments about wanting to take advantage of the modkill somewhat of a towntell. If, by some miracle, Dirk flips town, then I would reconsider this read. I can't see any particular reason they're mafia right now though. Dirk Hardpec - so yes, this guy is mafia. It's clear enough, it's been mentioned why - the trolling, the "I knew he'd flip town but did nothing about doing something else", the lack of anything. On March 16 2013 03:47 Dirk Hardpec wrote: Please hold some of your questions. I'll convince yall I'm town tomorrow. Do *not* be fooled by this. This is typical vettish scumplay from Palmar (probably bugs too). I'll contribute later... just you wait... I'll prove I'm town... and then there'll be a post that these players are very capable of making look good or convincing. What you need to remember is that they have not contributed in the slightest so far. That's actually the important issue. Don't forget, also, that Palmar is well known for having Day 1 as his absolute best day. Like, by far. He catches mafia regularly Day 1, and tails off after. There's a post he made about this in the obsQT for Hero Mini Mafia if you're really interested in checking what I've said. The salient point being that theoretical town-Palmar has wasted his absolute best day of catching mafia, on the offhand promise that he'll do better tomorrow, and willingly lynching into town. He must die. ObliviousEyes - I also think it's pretty likely this guy is mafia. He apparently pushed Dirk, and by his posts it looks like that, but in the middle of all his pushing is this: On March 15 2013 04:18 ObliviousEyes wrote: I am willing to consolidate upon the lurker WittyHydraName. I think Palmugs more likely to flip scum. The fact he's willing to consolidate over means everyone reading his posts thinks "well, they think Witty is probably mafia too if they're willing to consolidate here, no reason to switch". VE also says that Witty is just a "lurker lynch", and yet fails to mention at all the usual town metas of Adam and Snarfs. This was a point that everyone else brought up. It *wasn't* just a lurker lynch, it's the fact that Adam and Snarfs both lurk as mafia and not usually as town, and this wasn't addressed. The interesting thing looking at ObliviousEyes, actually, is that there's a very experienced player combined with a newbie. So we can really catch these guys out looking at Oblivious' posts; VE will be harder to catch. This post *alone* is worth a lynch: On March 14 2013 14:54 ObliviousEyes wrote: Regarding WittyHydraName: Adam's return/entrance to the thread with his declared lack of motivation is concerning to me. It's been a while without any content from that pair, too. Snarfs asked a couple questions and peaced out, seemed mostly concerned with ObsQT's vote. Iamperfection is on that team, so I don't expect it to be clear of ObsQT's alignment immediately but Witty(snarfs) took the early vote a bit seriously. I'll keep an eye on Witty, not too concerned with ObsQT right now. Dirk Hardpec is interesting. Chatty but not terribly informative, at least the filter/game isn't terribly long so the lack of quoting/context on the posts isn't annoying yet. VE knows them better, I'm interested in seeing the fleshed out version of his read. -OO This really is the scummiest post in the entire thread (unlike Promato's list. take note of the difference folks). There's just a bunch of summaries of what's happening in the thread. Let's look for hard opinions, shall we? What do we have? - Witty is concerning - unclear on iamperfection - keep an eye on witty - Dirk is interesting - interested to see more Not even a shred of an opinion on anything alignment indicative. It's classic newbie mafia. The only shocking thing is that VE didn't stop him making this atrocity of a post (don't let them wifom that he would have stopped him by the way). Here's the followup: On March 14 2013 15:21 ObliviousEyes wrote: Golems I would call scum-ish but coming from a town place. I like the role-play (it's interesting and fun to read and that makes this more fun for me!). I don't like the excusing themselves but then again, that's extending a courtesy so I'm seeing them more townie than Witty right now. Snarfs is my own main concern right now given how little he's been around and his partner certainly isn't helping. He jumped way too fast on the ObsQT vote shenanigans and then never really followed it up. Again to recap: - Golems scummish but townieish - Snarfs is concerning Another followup: On March 14 2013 16:11 ObliviousEyes wrote: I don't think they're being harmful in the way they are choosing to voice themselves, though their opinions aren't exactly forthcoming they are more present and therefore more open and town-looking than Witty. It's a matter of degrees; if it were between the two right this moment I would lynch Witty over Golems. I'm not saying they're super town looking but I can see how it could be just them being town and having some fun. They haven't been under really strong pressure yet, and if they are I would hope they drop the flavor to focus on being effective instead of entertaining. Some up-to-date concrete opinions would mean a lot right now from them, though. -OO - I have made a bulletpoint but I have literally nothing to say as the post says absolutely nothing whatsoever. ObliviousEyes looks very mafia indeed when we look at ObviousOne's contributions. They are all summaries, there's a complete refusal to take stances on anyone. He is the weakling of this team, and he's proving himself as such. Classic mafia play from OO in all regards. Anyway, there's one most post I want to discuss, this time from VE. It's very interesting. I've cropped out the reads, because actually they are the least interesting part of the whole post. On March 16 2013 06:42 ObliviousEyes wrote: The Last Will And Testament of ObliviousEyes There are a couple of points that I want to raise before starting. First, after a long discussion with my other head, I've come to the conclusion that this game is much deeper than I'd originally anticipated. I quickly realized that while our ultimate reads of a couple of players were the same, we disagreed on a few key players for various reasons…but chiefly among them was the fact that we have differing reads between heads of hydras, and we disagreed on the implications of this. I subscribe to the school of thought that we should be reading the slot and not trying to read the individual players at this point, mainly because early on I was having conflicting reads between heads (Oats/thrawn, iamp/Hapa). OO however has been trying to read the players rather than the intentions of the slot which is an interesting approach, but ultimately useless in my opinion because there are some players (Hapa, marv, Bugs) who are going to be able to look townie regardless of their actual alignment. We decided that we are going to continue to take different approaches to scum hunting moving forward. I feel like in this way we have a better chance of missing something the other misses. But as a result, the reads I'm about to give are my reads, not OO's. We agree on a few, but these are ultimately my thoughts. I'm not aware of whether he intends to give his final thoughts, I didn't think to ask because I had intended to myself. First of all, note how long this segment is. Two hefty paragraphs to tell us how him and Obvious are *different* people with different reads. And look at how long the explanation is! All the nitty gritty, exactly why they're different, and a further explanation of how they're going to continue being different. VE will no doubt argue that he's just being transparent, but actually it betrays a different mindset - he's overcompensating to show that they're *really* town and they're *both* scumhunting and because they're both town they'll have different reads. The following reads are *so* VE's reads that he's kindly presenting to us guys. But wait? Shouldn't they be, I don't know, discussing their reads, seeing how they're different, trying to work things out and present their reads as *one slot* to the thread? (as VE points out, he sees things as one slot. And yet here he is making HIS slot into two different people. Funny isn't it?) As Obvious shadowed VE in Nomination, and as I gather they had a great time there, there seems to be a remarkable breakdown of communication. I find this to be unlikely, far more likely is that they're artificially trying to show they're town by stressing how they're both different and scumhunting. I don't buy any of it. | ||

The following events transpired for Dirk Hardpec: It is now Day 2! You have 48 hours to bring out your vote. Failing to do so will result in a modkill without warning. | ||
