let's start things off now, I think sloosh is guilty of asking useless questions that don't help town scumhunt.

Since no one's brought it up yet, I think we should lynch lurkers and posters that don't contribute D1. Again, this is not because lurking is a scumtell, but if we let people get away with it then scum have a place to hide.

Drawing from my experience in XXIV, I'm going to say that it's a little early for cases. I'll be watching the thread though.

What in particular about XXIV? Also, just because it's early for cases doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to "watching the thread."


In XXIV I jumped on Solarsail on the basis of his first post. Turns out that not only was Solarsail town, it led (indirectly) to my mislynch and almost to his mislynch much further down the road.

Hapa, what is your idea of a town circle and how does it help us find / lynch / kill scum?


Errr... well I wasn't planning on anyone taking that image seriously.

I hate town circles. They're distracting to discussion and give people easy outs to "look" townie by "contributing" as opposed to scumhunting. I hate blue-oriented discussion in general really - it makes it easier for mafia to snipe blue roles by testing player reactions. Hell the idea of publicly determining blue actions is silly, considering it gives mafia the one information advantage that town has over mafia.

Could you clarify what you mean by this point?

Basically when someone goes and says "I got roleblocked" or "I was hit as a vet last night" scum now know something that previously only a townie knew.
I don't think this is true all the time, as sometimes it's critical to get this info out to the rest of town, but I can see where Hapa is coming from

Because if they hit a vet, they wouldn't know whether it was a medic, a vet, or whether their member got roleblocked.

NONONOONONO
As town ALWAYS tell town if you got hit/roleblocked unless some weird setup or something.

Why?

Why are you piling on Miltonkram? AFAIK you didn't even offer a single post on the entire Mattchew debacle and now you're trying to chainsaw defend Hapa by drawing associative scumtells?

The reason people policy lynch people like BM and Grush is because they get by into later in the game because they are unreadable. This is because they barely actually play the game and if you end up in lylo with one of them left, you've basically already lost. I completely understand anyone wanting to policy lynch them, but we should also not allow them to be off the hook for some sort of scum read during the day.

That being said, I remember thinking to myself that I don't hate BM's play in the last few games I have been in with him. I do not want to policy lynch today.
Why would you claim this? You eliminated yourself as a possible blue from scums list of townies, and it´s not like you doing this eliminates you as a scum suspect. If someone see you visiting a player who dies the we´re lynching you anyway.

check this scummy post from forumite
1) misreads the setup
2) attacks him with a smirk for the claim, which looks scummy as shit
3) takes the visiting thing a step further, saying "if they die" which clears a ton of scum roles... forumite is scum with a role

I don't get this, please explain

You have not answered me previously so I will ask again. Why are you so intent on defending who you seem to believe to be town Otto? Especially when you have leapt all over other players for far less scummy actions?


There is no scum motivation. Think about what the objectives of hard-defending a teammate as mafia are. The goal of hard-defending a teammate is to prevent their lynch. It’s pretty clear that defending someone after they have 20-something votes on them is not going to prevent said lynch, so how can it be a mafia objective? It’s not a mafia objective, it’s screamingly bad townie.

By contrast, If the lynch was close between two candidates, hard-defending makes sense from a mafia perspective. It’s not smart, but there’s mafia-motive.

Regarding the whole “Mattchew was stupid therefore Ottox could be stupid mafia” – that’s a load of BS. As stated above, there’s a huge difference between stupid and mafia-motivated stupid.

So as for your questions: I don’t find Ottox scummy. I see a lot of town motivation (even if stupid) behind his actions.


What town motive do you see?

Welcome back - where the hell have you been?

Did you not just read my damn post? I told you exactly why it's not scum motivated. The town motivation lies in him questioning a read he believes not to be true. Stupid? Absolutely. But as stated above, NOT mafia motivated.


Fell behind in this game and never got the chance to catch up. Voted Mattchew in this thread and got warned for it =S

Alright, got it. I'm still leery of players like this though, because if this is how he plays town, are you sure we want him around at MYLO/LYLO?

But I'm having trouble with the timing of it all, and it's one reason I'm not too convinced about scum Gravan.

Matt claims nosy neighbor at 9:12 TL time, 9/4
Palmar confirms nosy neighbors are not self-aware at 18:17 TL time, 9/4
Gravan comes in with his passive post at 5:41, 9/5
Gravan starts talking about Matt and the assassin stuff at 9:38, 9/5

That bugs me. If Gravan is scum, then either he posted in thread without checking in QT, or checked QT before posting in thread. If he checked it, there's NO WAY that he wrote that crap. Right? No way do you limp into thread 20 hours after your scumbuddy got caught and 11 hours after it was confirmed he was caught and go "Hey guys, sorry." Then ESPECIALLY NO WAY do you wait 4 hours after that post and go "Okay I think he's an assassin." Right? And if he didn't check QT, he came back, posted that bad post, then had 4 hours. I'm guessing in that time he would have checked QT while reading thread, and same thing...you don't get that next post.

I know he's got more posts now, and I agree that the BM case is weak/OMGUSy. But I still don't see this guy as scum because I can't believe that scum would post that assassin bit so far after the time that Matt's goose was mod-cooked.

Are you okay with that timing? Do you think he just didn't read QT? You think that over the course of more than 10 hours scum didn't give explicit instructions for how to handle Matt in thread? You think they crafted this weird post for one scum member to call out matt as an assassin (and, if so, to what end, because clearly it's not making people find him town)?


That's getting into the same reasoning as Ottox's reason why Matt wasn't scum, that because scum can talk with team mates they don't make mistakes. Your point makes sense if the scum team is working well together but we've had Matt's fake claim which is obviously scum doing something stupid. If you add to that Ottox who I think is scum doing all the stupid shit he has done I can see Gravan posting the soft defence of Matt before thinking and before looking at the QT. Obviously this alone wouldn't be a solid case, in the same way BM's point about Hapa coaching isn't enough to push a lynch on him, but with the rest of Gravan's posting being so lurky and faux contributing I think that Gravan is the best bet to lynch tomorrow.

imallison have you considered Gravan as newbie town or do you think the evidence shows otherwise? Also what do you make of his stance on Otto if you think both scum?

Because I'm seeing new town learning as he goes along. You can see how his post reflect the thread information at the time (indication that he is reading), and making what you consider bad arguments is alignment null. His case against BM is very reasonable - as a new player what would you do when you see someone dropping strings of 8 1-liners and being vague in general, and people ignoring him?


It's certainly possible he is newbie town but I don't think that is a sufficient explanation for his scummy behaviour. Personally I've never played a game with BM before and seeing everyone ignore him I figured that not everyone can be scum so it must just be how BM is. Even if Gravan didn't reach the same conclusion the case reeks of scum making a light case on someone they think will be an easy target to seem to contribute to the thread.

As for Ottox and Gravan both being scum I think it's certainly possible. Notice Gravan doesn't talk about Ottox being scummy until well after Ottox started his hole digging project. I think it is certainly possible that the scum team decided that Ottox had shafted himself and bussed him to blend in with everyone else attacking him.

IMO reading through Ottox's filter, it's still a bit early to be drawing associative tells with him. We should probably wait for his flip to do that. In the meanwhile, I want to figure out when scum started to bus Matt, and which players ended up voting Matt with little to no explanation (or bad explanation) after Palmar essentially modkilled him.

The problem is that everyone who didn't have a vote on Matt voted Matt after Palmar's post with little or no explanation because the explanation was obvious to everyone (except Ottox of course). I'm sure scum bussed Matt as soon as they saw Palmar's post. So our possible list of people who could be scum bussing Matt is everyone who voted Matt except Sloosh, Hapa and DYH which doesn't get us very far.

Got it.

Another thought - Shady has been fairly quiet this game. All his posts indicate that he is reading the thread and keeping abreast of it himself, but his posts just kind of answer or ask questions. I am interested to hear if you have any reads, Shady?

Anyway, it might be worth it for everybody to take a peek at his short filter.

Right now, my main read is on BKE, both because of Hapa's case and his bad claim.

Other than BKE, my other main read is GRush. It starts here:

Medics on Toad and BC and BM.
Vigi kill in the pool of scummy people/ scummylurkers.
Ex: Ottox, Maverick, Do you has.


This comes before GK suicide bombs into BC/BM. To me it almost sounds like he was trying to draw a blue into the bombing.

Then he responds to the BKE case by questioning evidence without offering his own read (a classic instance of someone who wants to poke at a case without revealing their own opposition to it); then starts soft defending BKE:

On September 08 2012 06:25 grush57 wrote:
This reminds me of LVI where BKE got mislynched and he was way scummier that game.


while trying to deflect attention to Lvdr for lurking.

Then he sheeps BKE without really offering his own reason for doing so, while at the same time ridiculing people who are attacking him without straight up defending himself; finally claiming someone else's reason to vote BKE as his own.

Generally, all he's done is post 1-liners on people without offering clear reads. He also soft defended BKE until the wagon was unstoppable. No matter what BKE flips, that sort of soft defending is very scummy, as I can't see why a town who thought BKE was town wouldn't put his foot down and defend like crazy; a classic example of which was Ottox.
