Because of your piss poor attitude when things don't go exactly the way you want it to.

Anyways, I odn't see anything that's particularly out of the ordinary about the policy that Hapa is suggesting. I think even as a blue role it might be better to just put yourself out there and have a good defense. Reluctance makes you suspicious in town eyes, as well as suspicious on the mafia side.

The big difference that I see between Hapa's response and Syl's response is that Hapa is trying to stimulate discussion and promote a good environment where we can all improve, whereas Syl is trying to rub salt in old wounds and is baiting me to argue with him on this.

I'm not taking the bait Syl. Nice try.



Why have people not trusted me in previous games? Because I have said stupid stuff and did little to look pro-town (if I was town). In all honesty I always find the opening parts of Mafia hard and my first post was pretty evident of that. At least you guys know that I am not lurking/have an actual heartbeat.


I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm simply stating it as is. If I wanted to argue with you about it, I would've done it days ago in the NMM thread, but I didn't because I honestly don't care that much. The only thing which annoyed me is that it felt like you were trying to get sympathy from others because of how others think of you.

Anyone ignoring rules 1 or 2 should be put under extreme scrutiny for acting against town goals.

this guy is the scummiest guy in the game so far in my view

Not mafia != town, could be third party as far as we know.

Why are you afraid to put your own life on the line, for someone who backs their reads as much as you usually do?



Because this game doesn't revolve around just you and your reads. We're not going to have a read on a single person every duel phase, we're most likely going to have multiple people. If you put those people against each other, it works out a lot better for town because you see 2 players' defenses, and oust a potential scum. Putting yourself against the person you have a read against isn't likely to give that much option to the defender. Even if they are town, they are very likely doomed to die in that spot and it's a complete waste of a duel.

Honestly, far scummier to me than either of these is Sylencia. While it's true our contributions are certainly in the same range right now, I wasn't here at all yesterday, while Sylencia was there right at the beginning and then disappeared. While he was there, all he did was stoke Cora's flames, speculate about a third party (because that's super helpful), and "interact" with Adam by mentioning some setup talk. It's true that others did a good amount of setup and policy talk at the beginning, but they went from there; Sylencia has disappeared and until he reappears, it looks very scummy to me in the face of what he DID contribute.



Why is any of this scummy? What scum motivation does sylencia has by doing all this?


- stoke Cora's flames
Cora's temper ruined the town environment for two mafia games in a row. Being aggressive towards him without reason is not pro-town.

- speculate about a third party
Setup speculation when we have zero flips is only speculation, and when the priority of town is to promote discussion of players and analyze reactions/interactions and get reads on individual players, speculating on setup is distracting and unproductive. It gives the appearance of contributing when it does not at all -- the goal of scum.

- setup talk
See above.

- Leave
People have lives and have to go do things. But he didn't say he was leaving, he was there for the beginning and bounced as discussion was becoming more substantial.

I feel like you are just trying to poke at me to get me to talk more, not because you genuinely don't know the answers to your questions. It is pretty easy to see why I thought those actions were scummy, or how those actions in general can be scum-motivated.


1) You're probably right in that I shouldn't have been so aggressive/negative towards Cora so early on, and if I wanted to do so I could've done so elsewhere, I was just annoyed at the statement he had made at the time.

2) Point conceded there, though I was just pointing out the potential fault in the statement (maybe correcting the smallest of errors is the wrong thing to do)

3) Didn't realise I was expected to announce what I was doing and when I was leaving. If you want to know - had lunch, got swamped with work, got home and went straight to bed. If not announcing this is scummy play, I've been doing it wrong this entire time.

Cora: People said the exact same thing in the game we just played (regarding the lurking) and it's exactly the reason why I find metareads to be so inconsistent. Players can easily mask their play to look like they're playing the same way they played as town and people would be none the wiser and yet people still compare it. It's like people are expecting a player to be locked into one style of play and are expecting it to stick for eternity. In any case, I don't see how this metaread is accurate at all. Compare the way I have played in most of the games I've played. The one game I was scum I was probably the most active out of all of them.

As for reads, this is going to sound like a broken record to you by now, but tonight. If that's not good enough for you, I am perfectly willing to put myself up for the duel.

My game revolves around me and my reads because its all I have to work with.

Ill just have to make sure my reads are spot on then, to not 'completely waste duels', as you put it.



Some people are confident. So you would assume that if he was to start a duel, there would actually be a case to start one right?

Because I felt like it.

I came here to duel, not vote and then duel when everyone agrees like a watered down version of a normal mafia game.


...

The sad thing is that I don't see Adam being scum, but just a detriment to town.

Regarding Keir, I feel like he's pretty much on the same area as I am, not much from him but the fact he's argued with Adam meant that he's been put up for a duel. I'm still null on Keir, but if this is the way Adam wants to play I don't think it's exactly going to help us out in the long run.

Wrong. Null read who has a chance to still be town once they have said a whole lot more is a lot better than a trigger happy also rather null read, but in this case leaning slightly towards being more scummy, if only via comparison between the two.

1) Letting Adam have his way and dueling/shooting people when he pleases is not in the interests of town. Given he's shown he only cares about his own reads, the chance of him hitting scum with his reads is less than 50% unless he's had a track record of being some superb reader. From what I've read, not really.

2) He mentioned dueling Keir before, but his filter shows he thought Deino was scummy. His feelings towards killing Deino clearly show a lot more intent to kill him than to Keir, and yet here we are suddenly deciding Keir than Deino. "I better make sure my reads are spot on then" he says, yet he doesn't wait for Deino to make a statement which may or may not have pushed him to duel Deino instead and just rashly chooses to go at it now. His actions have contradicted what he said he would do, and I'm surprised that people are voting for Keir here.

Did you not read the reason why Adam voted Keir? Or you read it and thought it was bullshit, what is bullshit about it?


I've read the 'case' on why Adam voted Keir, but all it literally says is 'what you're saying doesn't make me scum, thus you must be scum'. It's nowhere near solid and comes completely out of nowhere.

His duel against Keir basically ends up feeling like OMGUS, especially with the addition of the last sentence.

The other thing which disturbs me when rereading the filter again is the amount of times he feels he needs to either point out he's town or to mention things which would make you scum/town - then following the majority of the points he makes to try reinforce his position.

Dropping weak scum reads will still draw attention to you, something scum try to avoid generally.

They also have to be backed up with some form of sense or logic or they are seen for exactly what they are, garbage.


Case against Dieno: weak. Thus, must be less scummy right?

Mafia that sit in the spotlight almost always fry, and as a general rule, try to avoid it. The likelyhood of either of us being scum is not good as a result.


He was sitting in the spotlight for the majority of the duel phase, and he said it outright that the chance of him being scum is therefore lowered.

Now that my internet is recovered:

I fully support this duel between Thrawn and Keirathi. Thrawn is taking ownership of his reads, something I mentioned yesterday, I respect that.

That case against me was god awful, stinks of nothing-scum-case. It does nothing to illustrate why i'm scum, only that I was using logic that shows I think i'm town and everyone else should think it too.


Tells people to think he's town.

Appeals to his case on being more townie by making a comparison of play between himself and Yamato. Since he says that Yamato isn't scummy for going against the grain, he shouldn't be considered it either. Yet another 'I'm town' statement.

I have you leaning town, yes, in virtue of your defending me against what I consider a sub-par case.

I think his play this game is lacking the curiosity and conviction i see in most townies, with most of his posts being general statements as opposed to pursuing someone to discern their alignment. He does not seem to be looking for scum.

My read on Deino remains unchanged leaning frustrated. Hes come back, posts more nothing, then slinks off again. I was willing to give him some time, as we had plenty, but my patience is evaporating. He never explained his 'Marv-Snarfs' connection that doesn't even exist, nor answer my question on Oats.
[/QUOTE]

1) Leaning towards someone else being town based on a single defense is ridiculous. When I read this I interpret it as "Since I'm town, you are town since you defended me, and since I'm saying it you know I'm town now". Am I looking at it too deeply?
2) I should've mentioned this above but I missed it before - this statement isn't false but the scummiest part about Keir there is that he wasn't scum hunting. If that was his case, his duel would've been much better suited who completely fit his point and more (like me, but for some reason he never really commented about my lack of activity at the time)
3) And again, I'm back to his original point about getting scum reads 100%. He rushes in on a case built on nothing much but frustration instead of building a stronger case on someone he had a slight scum read on.

[QUOTE]On February 26 2013 15:20 Adam4167 wrote:

Even if I were stepping forward to 'duel on towns behalf after yamato died or otherwise', how does that show only scum motivation? It could just as easily be coming from a townie wanting to fight.

Bad case.[/QUOTE]

Very soft statement about his town side again, but this one is pushing it as a case because it's pretty natural to explain it in this manner.

In any case in a span of 5 hours he's felt the need to point out he's town or he's townie based on perceived town activity about 6 times. I understand it when people make defenses and use it once maybe twice in it appealing to the fact they are town because of X reason, but when you feel you need to reinforce it once an hour, it's not right.

You try to nail me last night for what you're doing at the moment, but worse because you're statement essentially says you're killing off what you believe to probably be 2 townies. If you believe Keir is town, you have no reason to try kill him. Even if he's bad town, he still gives us the numbers we need to stay further afloat vs scum.

Are you fucking kidding me Syl. Just because I'm not 100% proclaimed townie by everyone else does not mean you have the power to dodge my arguments.




Your arguments are fairly self explanatory. What do you need clarification on, or have I missed one of your posts?

Why have you not stepped up your game? Do you realize that in the last 2 games as town you have played really terribly? You've exhibited the same qualities that you did in NMM 33 and NMM 37 as town (lurkiness, lack of scum reads, being a distraction to town with your inactivity). The one time you were scum you played the same type of game and coasted to victory by having the town fight each other and kill each other off while he sat there and laughed in the scum QT.

Town Syl would see the flaws in his town game and try to improve on them.
Scum Syl would see how well this strategy works as scum (especially in a super active game where the town were at each other's throats from the get-go) and continue to play the same type of game.

Your behavior makes you look slightly scummy. The fact that you still have not changed your meta makes you look REALLY scummy.

Questions I would like you to answer:
Why are you lurking?
Why have you refused to give any scum reads or suspicions (your vote for Adam did not count because you basically went on the fence)?
Why have you not tried to improve on your play, especially after your role in town's defeat in NMM 37?


Why am I lurking? Not intentional, but my prime online time for checking this is during the slowest period of the day. I have that 4 hour period where I can post, and I have been but other than that I can only really read and answer short questions / make quick and simple observations as I see it from the latest posts.
Completely disagree with your statement about how I sit on the fence on the vote for Adam? Considering it's been reinforced over time.
Your perception on what is improvement is different to others. Don't ask stupid questions which are completely off-topic just so that you can get some sort of emotional relief. Your entire read on me these past 2 games have been so so focused on my past meta that it's truly blinding you Corazon. You've mentioned the way I played when I was scum last game, and you're mentioning it again now. Are you going to keep mentioning that until you hit it right and you can say "Hey, told you guys I read him like a book based on his meta!" It clearly hasn't worked out, and it's not going to work out now if you keep it up either.

Or something else?


You try to nail me last night for what you're doing at the moment, but worse because you're statement essentially says you're killing off what you believe to probably be 2 townies. If you believe Keir is town, you have no reason to try kill him. Even if he's bad town, he still gives us the numbers we need to stay further afloat vs scum.

The difference between my post and his post is in the timing, he posted his response like 5-6 hours after the duel started, with barely any input by the duelers.
My post is almost 24 hours after, Adam doesnt look like he is apologetic, or wants to do anything useful for town at all, even though he acknowledged earlier that it was a bad move.
Keir simply doesnt seem to care. There is no conviction behind his posts and again, he is one of the lowest contributers to this thread, even though he is getting lynched.

I dont think that Keirathi is gonna flip scum, but on the slight chance that he is trying not to draw flack for his play, I am in favour of lynching him.


How does it take you 24 extra hours to realise that Adam is doing what he wants when he wants? That was already stated from the start of the game, and continues on until now. Keir doesn't care, Keir is a low contributor. I mentioned that as well. Posting what I said when I did just shows that the characteristics of the two players were very apparent already, but somehow you needed more time to see it.

I assume I'm meant to ignore that top part as you say, because I never said that :\

I honestly haven't put a whole lot of effort into the game at this point because I've just been busy. I'm not going to force reads I don't believe in though, nor am I going to apologize for that.

You act like this is something new, though. In fact, iirc, this isn't even the first time you've made that statement about me on day 1 ("OMG you must be scum if you aren't sure about reads 24 hours into the game!"). Sorry, I'll work at my own pace and have reads when I have them.


This is something I don't expect to see scum doing in day 1. Scum can obviously abuse this by saying it to prevent themselves from having to backtrack later on, but we're not playing NMM with complete first timers. I would expect there to be some sort of communication between scum to the point where they would at least make sure they aren't introducing things they can't take back later. In addition, this statement only brings attention and significance to his future reads. This means when he makes his posts, they would have to be fairly flawless as scum or at least very defendable to stop too much suspicion being thrown on him.

His not sharing town reads isn't indicative of much, town reads don't show very much because it's the easiest for scum to manipulate, and I think should only really be shared if it's a strong read. Posts containing weak town reads are filler posts designed to look like you're contributing when you don't really have any idea what's going on, and even though they can be useful I personally dislike them.

His last post before he gets duelled is what makes me consider him at least 'less scummy'. His attack on Adam looks more or less like standard pressure play, his points made are completely valid, and you have to wonder: if you were scum - would you really be pressuring a loose cannon? Either yes, but they don't expect it to backfire, or no, they genuinely think he's acting suspiciously and he's getting answers. In my eyes, having scum attack Adam over someone else who's more suspicious seems too high-risk to be worth it, especially on Day 1.

I'm awake and first things first. Lets ask this again:

Syl, if you think Adam and Keir are both town, who do you think is scum?


At the moment, Oats to me is suspicious. He hasn't posted an original case of his own, he's mainly been using others to answer questions for him so far, and in addition being one of the major promoters of the double lynch despite seeing neither having a high chance of being scum.

I have another weaker read but I'd rather wait and see what they do after tonight and see if anything transpires from it or if I'm completely wrong.

But keirathi hasnt done ANYTHING.

I wanted to see how keirathi and Adam played the night after, apparently you didnt need to.


Being dueled in a situation like this, is kinda like getting red checked when you are town. You know you are town and you would fight to not get lynched right? Apparently keirathi doesnt really care.
Adam is not a loose cannon, look at Acro's previous posts. He is calm and collected in most of his games. This game however, is different. Is that difference scummy? Or not.



He hasn't done anything productive, but he has posted in a way that doesn't seem likely to sound scummy.
I'm not saying Adam is a loose cannon in general, but in the way he's approaching this game where he's willing to fire shots whenever without warning - I consider that a loose cannon. People can choose to play the same or differently to how they normally do. That doesn't necessarily prove anything though. If you're forced to play one type of game just because all your town games have been played that way, you'd get bored. You'd want to mix it up, whether you were scum or not. It helps you have more fun and it helps you in the future when you are scum. (tl;dr I hate metareads, they have their uses, but everyone is overusing them this game I feel)

Alright, so I'll only be able to make one post - today has been a busy day and I only got home now (1am) and I still have work tomorrow.

Basically this - Looks like I was wrong about Keir, and Adam somehow nailed it :| While I'm willing to go up for a duel because of my lurker status, my lack of critical scumhunting, and whatnot - I'll let Deino cast the duel. He can show he has the same commitment that I do to being on the block.

If I was to cast the vote, I'd much rather duel Corazon than Deino.

Not only is it frustrating for me to have to deal with Corazon calling me scum time and time again based on my meta from previous games, he already mentioned it himself:

It's hard to follow because you guys just sit around and call each other scum/town based on each other's metas, which in all honesty is kind of pointless. Metas can change at any point, and players can use their meta from one side or another to conscientiously give others a town read based on their meta. Don't read too much into them (which I'm afraid you guys are doing right now). I'm not saying that all of it has been meta talk, but I've seen way too much meta talk thrown around.


Yet he proceeds to push the case during the day many many times, even making a complete case on how I am scummy because of my past meta. Cora, why the hell are you putting all your effort into looking into the past when you've clearly mentioned the above, and I have as well somewhere along the line? Anyways to answer some of your questions (though

So you have a null read on him?

Let's forget my meta argument for a second. Let's take a look at what he has done this game:

-Lurked at multiple important points in the game (he has 13 posts when many of us have 60+)
-Many of his posts are short, have no real point, and are of no value to the town
-Promised scum reads but never delivered on them
-Trying to fly under the radar, only brought out when someone asks for it
-Sits on the middle of the fence for this lynch, showing he does not really care about the lynch

It has scum written all over it. Is there anything I'm missing?



The fact that you are in Australia should not have a huge impact on your ability to contribute. I've been able to have constant back and forth with Mocsta (also from Australia) in every game I've played with him. The timezones should not be an issue here.

Even if you have limited time to play, you could have at least shown that you are having an interest in this scum hunt and that you should not be forced to give a read (one that's basically copying me) when one asks. You should take the initiative to look pro-town.

When it comes to posts:
High Quality and High Quantity= Generally Town
High Quality but Low Quantity= Generally Town
Low Quality but High Quantity= Scum
Low Quality and Low Quantity= Scum

If you are truly having a lack of time to discuss every single point, you needed to be more practice. The bolded one is what you could be doing with your limited time and what would help town. The underlined one is what you are doing, which is not helping town.


Sure, but I have no idea what Mocsta does during the day - seeing as he was completely capable of posting when he wanted he may have been on holidays, or worked part-time or something. My schedule: Sleep at 1, wake at 7, get to work at 9 - generally I check the topic and post at around this time. I check the topic again before lunch at 1230, and I get home at 7. I eat dinner, freshen up, do what I need to do and it's about 10. I am on from then until I sleep again, in which I check the topic every 10-15 minutes. The times in which I'm most active have been when there's only been a handful of people online - primarily Oatsmaster and other SEA players and at a stretch some of the euros. For people on the other side of the world, such as you, I end up only posting 1-3 times to you a day because of the delay in reply between you and I. Do you get it now? ("Important times of the day" is also very dependent on when it happens. The lynch happened around 5am today. Am I scum for sleeping? The duel on D1 began at 4pm I believe. Am I scum for being at work during that time? If it's at a time when I AM supposed to be here - say 11pm my time, I would say you had a point, but so far afaik that hasn't been the case)

On your second point, that's completely valid. Though I seem to disagree that I haven't been scumhunting. The primary thing for Day 1 was based on the duel. I don't know if you've actually read my filter or not but the second half of that day was pretty much myself trying to show why I saw Adam's play as scummy. Sure I was wrong, but it's still something.

In addition, you can obviously still work on others but why would you want to make them aware that they're suspicious when they can be nailed through their actions that can then be shown after the duel? I'm not saying I have any hidden reads here - I don't, but this is probably one of the flaw's I've seen people have been doing during the day (myself included, it really only occured to me today). If you're finding these scummy plays, you can bring them up as soon as they say it, but you could let them hang themselves further by letting them dig themselves into a hole by letting them think they got away with it.

If it's appropriate to bring the point up for an argument against a player who's currently up for nomination, then obviously bring it up. If it's a vital statement that can change the outcome of the day, bring it up. But for minor things, such as the time I mentioned Oats trying to slam me for what I was doing then doing something similar - that has it's time during the night / preduel. That's what is one of the major differences between this game and a normal game, but everyone is treating this like a normal game and it's really giving scum a lot more opportunities to cover up past errors (especially with voting).

If I die during the duel, at least take that away from it.

People Who Voted Adam (Sylencia +Dienosaur)


Idealistic, but you would think that the 4th scum (if any) would at least have the brains to stop this from happening if this was true. Even I would've seen from a mile away that leaving my vote on Adam would've been a dumb move if I was going to sleep with chances to hammer at any time (mainly saying this about the second half of the day, I would probably still vote at the time I did) leaving my vote exposed as scum. Deino who seems to have been in a similar situation following suit would mean that both of us being scum were very confident that town would vote for double lynch / Adam. Adam getting killed was still far off, and with the votes being 3-4 or something before the real movement happened, it's not like scum could convincingly say that it was in the bag at all.

So if I was scum, it would've been very very easy for me to simply withdraw my vote under the "Oh keir has done nothing for this half of the day, I'll re-evaluate." context. But I didn't. I stood my ground, and gave more reasoning. tl;dr You are at least half wrong about this, so assuming there are 4 scum, you're still missing one.

Should probably clarify/add to that point about why I want to duel Corazon: ~70% of his scumhunting time has been dedicated to me with ~80% of his case being completely meta despite saying how inaccurate metareads are. 15% of it have valid scum traits within them and 5% contain specific points/errors in my reasoning and logic. I honestly don't even know if he's really read through much of what I've said and just complained about quantity, quantity and quantity (with a dash of quality thrown into one of his latest posts).

While it's still considered scumhunting, I don't see it to be very productive at all seeing as how he has had his tunnel vision glasses on since stopping with yam and Oats.

Sylencia similar question for you.

Do you agree a double lynch would be a bad idea? You never mention it in your filter, but you do seem to think that Adam's actions don't necessarily make him scum, just a bad town player.

Since the nomination do you think Adam is more dangerous to town than Keir?

If so, why?


Also I missed this during the skim through this morning but I'm trying to find a final list of votes, and I don't even know if it's relevant now but I indirectly mentioned it in one of my posts I believe. It was a stupid idea simply because there wasn't enough info from them and there is nothing based on previous actions that you can link them to.

For example, now there IS a reason to double lynch myself and Deino, since it can be linked to the death of Keir, as well as similar play during day 1. This is where double lynch makes more sense (though I don't advocate it )

At the time you posted, I still thought so yes because Adam clearly stated he wouldn't guarantee he back down from a duel based on his reads in a future day, and Keir still had a chance to better his play since I didn't see too many scummy posts from him, only scummy traits were really there (and turns out that was correct).

On that note, is there a final vote count hanging around somewhere?
