I’ve put in numbers and translated this post.I was reading him as town, and you as scum. Even after reading your case I thought so, as I feel you're pressed into a corner and have nothing else to push for except for tube's lynch. Having read his post, the fact that he doesn't seem to take this very seriously is very suspicious and drives me to want to vote for him instead of you. I'm not ready to swap my vote over completely, but I am prepared to ##Unvote This is looking like its going to be "too easy" to get tube voted. I'm pretty much the only one who ever gave him a town read to begin with.1 Seeing his posting regress to his initial garbage version makes we want to get rid of him as he was thoroughly berated for his style of posting and doesnt seem to give a damn. However, that in itself doesn't seem that scummy to me because it shows he's distinctly NOT trying, which sucks for town but doesn't prove his affiliation to me. I don't want to be lynching someone for being bad-town on D3.2 If he doesn't provide anything useful my hands are probably going to be tied as perfection has at least tried to make himself useful to town. Tube has not.3 1-I think he’ll flip town. I’m the only one that thinks he’s town. 2-Here’s why you guys suspect him; here’s why I don’t. 3-I’m going to vote for him anyways. Why is he reminding us that he is the only one who thinks he's town, when he's voting for him anyways? He gives reasoning why his opinion has decayed over time but neverthless he's trying to assert that he thinks tube is town. This is irrelevant because he is going to be killed anyways. The only thing your read could effect is our idea of you as a player afterwards. Another point in the filter that demonstrates the same concept. While I was hoping that obvious was mafia, hopeless is trying to actively assert his innocence. I don’t think he’s in a necessarily suspicious position. He made his vote early and stuck on it and his vote wouldn’t have mattered. If he were town, he could have said something like “I had my read and I stuck to my guns… it was decided without me either way. I’m trying to pressure him to talk” I don’t think this would have been suspicious – he would be justified here in my opinion. What irks me is the fact that he brings it up. He is actively worried about what others are thinking of him, moreso than actually finding mafia. I think he is trying to confirm himself town, rather than actually hunt. If it wasn’t suspicious, then why is he trying to make himself even less suspicious when he wasn’t in the first place?

So he admidts that there is a trap for both me and calgar but ive been thinking what kind of town player would set a trap? As hopeless has so greately reminded the town that there is likely no dt he has no extra information. There is no reason for regular town player to set traps since really almost always we are just making educated guesses.Why put your fellow town players at risk when for making a misread? Plus he was somewhat liberal with the truth in the second part of the statement. calgar has basically tried to get me killed at every point in the game he really hasent pushed of at all untill now. My vote will go for hopeless when we start. | ||

I am pretty sure there are 2 scums left, and 5 townies. So after scums NK, there would be 2 scums and 4 townies, which is LYLO in the absence of medic. So here, I would encourage the vigilante, if there is one, to target someone he thinks is scum. Even in the case that he's wrong, there would be 2 scums and 3 townies in the beginning of Day 3, so we are still LYLO with better chance to correctly pick the scum. But if vigilante gets one of the scums, we will be so much better off. So this way, we get two chances to find the scum rather than one. And either way, we should think about start claiming beginning of tomorrow. | ||

I WANT people to see the things I've done so that I get called out on it and get the opportunity to explain myself. The more you try to evoke a response from me, the more activity you get from me. The harder I get tunnelled, the more info to hunt scum is revealed after I die on the players who attacked me. I DON'T want to hide my actions. I explained what I saw and why I don't think my vote should be considered scummy the way it ended up at the end of Day 1. This is of course for the purpose of making myself 'look innocent' because the alternative is to let someone else bring it up and I look like I'm panicking to defend myself for my "suspicious vote." At the end of Day 2, we pestered Fulla and Tube for NOT explaining their actions. Now you're pestering me because I DID explain my vote. I'm not going to try to "squirm my way out". I explained myself, you read my explanation and you found it scummy. Pretty cut and dry. If other people agree or disagree, please let me know if you think I need to explain myself further. Overall, I'd like to believe my attitude has been on hunting scum. In this particular instance, it was 20 minutes to deadline with what looked like a hammered target. Was my attitude focused on my innocence right then and there? Yes. Did my attitude remain that way? I leave this question for the rest of the town to answer. Read my filter and let me know if you think I haven't been contributing my fair share towards scumhunting. Presumably, calgar and iamperfection are hurting over my 'trap' laid for them and I have limited faith in their propensity to change their read on me. I'm counting on YourHarry, Speedbump and Hapa to weigh in and let me know of anything else they think I should address. Fulla's welcome to join in as well, if he'll actually read the defense I posted on his case first. | ||

If, in the event that there are no other blues, then you are correct. In which case we're right back to where we started. WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE BY CLAIMING? | ||

I had Calgar as a very pro-town read earlier in the game (and came to his defense on D2), but I’ve found some of his actions over the past few days very suspicious. Calgar’s Response to drwiggl3s’ Scumslip After JingleHell posts his case against drwiggl3s and votes him, Calgar posts this: On July 21 2012 04:38 calgar wrote: I'll agree with you that drwiggles is a good lynch right now. Is he better than harry though? I'm planning to move my vote away from iamperfection - I may have come up with a solution to him, I'll post more on that in a little. Harry under fire has given us good reads on how several people have reacted. He keeps his options open, while maintaining his suspicions against YourHarry. He only votes drwiggl3s after three more townies INSTANTLY vote drwiggl3s after reading his exchange with Jingle. By then, drwiggl3s is firmly in the vote lead. Given how sudden the counter-bandwagon was on drwiggl3s (since YourHarry was basically set to mislynch D2), this is consistent with a mafia in disarray and not sure what to do after the drwiggl3s scumslip. After drwiggl3s flips red, Calgar posts an analysis of drwiggl3s filter – a “summary post.” http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=351398¤tpage=48#960 Calgar “tunneling” suspicion on multiple players Calgar has been fingerpointing several players throughout the game. Early in the game, he posts suspicion against three players: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=351398¤tpage=31#610 Then immediately after the drwiggl3s lynch, Calgar posts: On July 22 2012 08:23 calgar wrote: Alright townies, I’ll call it like I see it. Sorry to see you go jingle, we'll bag the rest for ya. @confirmed townies – I consider everyone besides iamperfection, tube, fulla, and speed to be more or less ‘confirmed’ as town.

There's a huge difference between trying to make oneself less suspicious and drawing attention to one's potentially suspicious actions. Hopeless does the latter in the posts mentioned in Calgar's case: On July 18 2012 07:40 Hopeless1der wrote: So, am I going to get chewed out for not changing my vote?

He doesn't make excuses for his actions at all. Hopeless has already commented on the quote about him "positioning" after the Tube lynch, and I think he gives a satisfactory explanation - Calgar reads into his post the wrong way | ||
