I do, do you have any reason for calling people out for making general statements and then following it up with statements like:

"And then there's the eight or so other lurkers."
and
"Of the active players I reckon at least most are town."

Well for starters I'd appreciate it if you say where I "called people out for making general statements". I remember calling JAT out for "having no commitments regarding any reads at all in his entire filter" which is not at all the same thing.

Also, everybody makes some general statements, including me. I've also made some not-general statements. What exactly is your point?

I also can't help but notice that you haven't really answered my question. Would you care to correct that?

Oh Yamato, I don't think it's a silly sentiment at all. But be that as it may, why would that silly sentiment make me scum? Can you REALLY say that you don't think I'd think that about you as town? REALLY?

The sentiment is bad. What makes you mafia is your vote on Wave at a time when he had literally just explained at extreme length why he's not running.

You're opting out of real discussion by doing this so late in the day.

He didn't explain at great length why he's not running, he said "I'm not running because with DocH dropping out I don't think it's a good idea" which I don't understand. The "great length" part you're referring to is him explaining what his platform would be if he ran, or in other words, WHY HE WOULD RUN.

I'm not opting out of real discussion at all, maybe you can explain that part to me.
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

Interesting. I don't see a single clear read from you in thread. If there is some, could you point me out to one? All i see you say about other people is "they might be town or scum". And yes i answered your question. You asked me if i have a reason to think VE is town and i said i do.

Do you have a reason to think VE is mafia?

There is interesting context behind that statement.

I believe it originates from a PM convo I shared with Aquanim.

Do you have a reason to think VE is mafia?

I think JAT is much more likely to be scum than town, for the reasons stated earlier - namely that he didn't seem to have any reads, even when I pushed him for it. I've seen the PMs Thrawn referenced here and I find JAT's reads there entirely unconvincing, just some lacklustre one-liners. Derrida moderately more likely to be scum than town, but that could change fast since his filter really doesn't have much to go on yet.

And yes, I have a reason to think VE is mafia. There, see? Two of us can play that game.

Actually, that PM conversation was after I posted that in the thread I think. Post our PMs if you like but I hardly see the need, they're not really relevant to the issue at hand here I don't think.

So how about you share the read on VE in thread so we can discuss it? You know, it's highly likely one of or yamato is going to be mayor and it would help we get information about who is mafia in your opinion, because apparently it seems like in your opinion i am on the wrong track.

I am going to go re-read JAT because from what i remember your statement does not hold water, and taking JAT's meta into account this looks like just about his townplay.

What do you think of Xatalos btw?

I haven't the foggiest idea. I don't imbibe enough myself to have much experience with that state.

In short, VE's being bloody cagey when I ask him questions, verging on being deliberately obtuse.

I'll do so eventually - you didn't ask me to explain my reads, you simply asked if they existed. And they do.

Original Message From Aquanim:
Well, you won't convince me Mocsta and Marv are scum by not showing me an argument. If you reckon they're scum, try to convince me and I'll listen.

Original Message From VisceraEyes:
I think that's an unfair generalization of his play. I also have not shared many scumreads with the thread, and I know that I'm town. I don't think him not sharing reads is scummy by itself. And I certainly don't think the OMGUS vote is scummy - OMGUS comes from town FAR more often than it comes from scum in my experience.

I'm mostly suspicious of Mocsta and marv, but I'm having a hard time finding anyone who agrees with me.

Original Message From Aquanim:
The point I was trying to make is that my argument why JAT is likely scum is short. It can be expressed in a single sentence, namely:

"He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me."

That single sentence characterises his entire filter, and I think a filter which can be characterized by that particular sentence is much more likely from scum.

Again, I would like to hear who you think is scum if you aren't convinced by this argument.

Original Message From VisceraEyes:
Well if there's not much in the thread because there's not much to say, then why am I dodging a question when I can't find the reasoning in your filter?

Original Message From Aquanim:
There's not much to say. He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me. If you've got anything better in terms of scumreads I'd love to hear it.

Original Message From VisceraEyes:
I got sidetracked man, I've got 3 tabs open looking at three things. Going over your filter, you I don't see much in the way of actual reasoning. Wanna just sum it up for me?

Original Message From Aquanim:

Did you dodge this question for any particular reason, or did you just miss it?

Last time I played with VE town, he engaged with the thread a lot, wasn't afraid to answer questions and was so obvtown he was elected mayor. This game is giving me none of those feelings. Maybe he's just distracted and for whatever reason doesn't think I'm "worthy" of a straight answer, but I'm running out of plausible town explanations.

I don't know a whole lot about JAT's town meta except to know he's not Hapa or anything. I'm always willing to debate my reads, and if you make a convincing argument why I'm wrong I can accept that.

Xatalos raised some nitpicking stuff early on which I'd scumread him for in a normal game but given most of the real work here is probably happening in PMs it's plausible that what he found was all he could find in the thread to talk about. I sent him a PM a while back but I think he's asleep.

So do you think this is unreasonable? This is about your reads post i talked about earlier:
<VisceraEyes> I don't really like it - his problem with Obvious is something obvious, and his problem with justanothertownie is that he's acting like justanother townie. And he complains about lurkers.
<VisceraEyes> But what I really don't like about it is that he later asks me what I think of it...as if I should already be aware of his stance on justanothertownie, when he states quite literally that those reads are about as firm as his null read of someone else.

Well. I gave my problems with Captain Obvious the thread space they deserved, which was about a sentence. It's not like I'm screaming for a policy lynch of him - just gave my opinion of him.

And why shouldn't VE be aware of my stance on justanothertownie? The conclusion of my clash with JAT is literally on the same page as where I asked him that question. Is he not reading the thread or something?

For that matter, why shouldn't I ask VE for his opinion on a read I'm pushing?

I question the purpose of VE raising any of those points.

- 55 pages into the game
- PMs shared with half the thread
- Indepth live convos with Rayn + Marv

I have a strong town read on about 5 players and a weak town read on about 5 players. Names are not necessary.
I have about 5 players in the null territory. The remaining have either not posted based on IRL committments; or I think are scummy to varying degree.

Below are my top 2 scum reads
(1) Derrida
(2)Bumatlarge




Reasoning
Derrida
  • His first post mimics his first post as scum <-- from putting himself down, to, list posting
  • He specifies how important it is to make these connections based on coaching; yet spoilers this effort <<-- again degrading the work he is presenting/
  • His connection theory is purely a count of posts and detail of what others have called scum <<- there is zero effort put into interpreting this data/
  • When VE asks for a town read to be added. Derrida non-chalantly asks for details about a scum read <<- Derrida gives zero fucks about this game
  • Lastly, Derrida excuses himself of scum hunting in his first post stating he doesnt know people so can't do meta-reading <<- Clearly gives zero fucks about this game and is finding excuses to not contribute.


Bumatlarge
  • Has posted twice in the thead and has produced zero substance
  • HOWEVER, in PM land I received the following:

Original Message From bumatlarge:
You rang? Reading the thread.
Original Message From Mocsta:
Coolies

Do u think as jax I should stay at top?

Any thoughts in the mayor?
Original Message From bumatlarge:
Probs wave, pretty certain hes town by the way he entered the race. I don't think BH as mayor, but a mason would be a provable town, and we already have two of them. It would be pretty awful of both hopeful and BH to claim that as scum when they aren't in a strong position to win the race.
Original Message From Mocsta:
Who do u think wave should lynch.

I could swing his way
Original Message From bumatlarge:
Sry drunk PMs


I find this type of behaviour to be synonymous with mafia.
(1) Clearly Bum is up to date with the thread (he is aware of the masons afterall), and is choosing to be of no-value in thread (which perhaps its is fine, maybe he likes to be influential on the PM side)
(2) However, this clearly isn't the case. In PM Land once asked to put his cock on the block; Bum plays the "sry i shouldnt have been talking to you because I was drunk" card.


I want either of these 2 people lynched tomorrow.

FYI:

Aquanim asked me for my position on JAT.

"i am stil null on JAT.

Its correct he has not elucidated on a scum read <-- but that is normal for him.

I dont like his position on focusing on a mayor; because, I dont think his filter aligns with that. He is commenting on some random stuff here and there and does not seem to be probing the mayors (in thread at least). This is where it becomes difficult.

I think he is probably town if cotnacting potential mayor candidates in PM."

I am posting this, because i would like to confirm if he has contacted potential mayor cnadidates.
I am only aware of discourse shared with Thrawn.

Because you don't really have a stance. You call JAT out for not posting reads. Why is JAT a scumread when about 80% of the game has not posted a single read?
