I don't have any unique insight to add. I'm not really ready to place a vote, and I don't feel like I've seen anything I could point at and say, "Yes, I find this scummy." My D1 vote is probably going to the person who I have least reason to believe is town, but I won't be able to actively participate and figure out who that is until I'm done with my last exam in a few hours. Oh, as for mechanics, etc. I'm down with the "reveal our movements shortly before the daypost" plan. It definitely seems best to at least find where we all are on the map, try to decrease the information advantage of the angels. | ||

Dunno, people seemed concerned as to what was going on with me, so I figured I'd fill you in. And my options were just being honest and saying that no one sticks out to me thus far as incredibly scummy, not saying anything at all until I pop in with a vote a few hours before the night post, or elaborating thoroughly on my thought process while reading 13 pages of mafia. I assure you, you don't want to know everything that goes through my head while I'm reading mafia threads (and anyway, instead of considering what I said useless, it would all be considered "fluff"). On May 16 2013 19:29 Oatsmaster wrote: yes. 13 pages. And he has no reads. Like where is the town motivation for posting this post? It does not help town at all. At all. So he says he has reads. But oh man I dont really wanna share them cause they are MINE, MINE!!!!!!. Also he overexplains his acceptance of the obviously great plan. Having played with me before, expecting me to have any confident reads D1 even without exams and projects due over the first two days of a game is expecting a bit too much. The motivation for the post was that I know exactly what happens when I enter a thread after lurking/being inactive for a while, that I don't handle it well, and that it's much better to take care of it without an imminent night post looming a short while away. It helps town to not have a player jump into the game within an hour of the deadline and plop a vote down on someone with little reasoning. It helps town to let me get this load of "fluff" out of the way before we have to make a final decision for D1. Oh, and I thought I under-explained myself regarding the plan, so I'm glad I didn't go into more detail o.O (You also say that I say I both have, and do not have reads. You should really decide what I've said before you say I said it.) On May 16 2013 20:37 Oatsmaster wrote: Um nope, mafia are known for posting a good looking/longish post not saying anything cause they dont actually need to scumhunt. That looks a lot like a scum first post after not being there. Good thing I posted a pretty short, "useless" post, then. And if you can find anyone in this thread that thinks that post was "good looking", then I'll vote for myself right now (though that's probably against the rules...). This post, however, is pretty longish, and has fancy quotes in it, so you might even consider it good looking. Oh god, am... am I an angel? Anyway, I'm gonna try intruding into other peoples' discussions now, because I still have no idea how to scumhunt without someone else getting the ball rolling. | ||

I know I'm not vivax or oats, but fferyllt's agreement with BH was one of the few things that caught my attention earlier. The fact that he agreed without any reasoning from BH (who I assumed had some kind of meta-related knowledge) and without providing any reasoning himself (when he, himself, has said that he has no meta knowledge yet) felt like trying to participate without actually participating. And while zephirdd and marv saw his last post as enough to alleviate suspicion of him, I saw it much the way you did. I have two problems, though. The first is that he does come from mafiascum (I believe) and I once tried playing on other forums and the play just felt distinctly different than it is here. Makes me wonder if it's scum avoiding participating or new town (on TL) not knowing how to participate. The second is more of a personal one, since I probably allow my interpretation of tone to interfere with logic more than I should, but the way he nonchalantly responded to Zephirdd's post (here) makes me feel like he's town, simply because I feel an angel would be more concerned with his own survival. Especially as the player with arguably the least knowledge of other players in the game. At least, were I in his position, I'd probably feel less... aloof? That's probably not the right word, but I think it gets the point across. | ||

There might be a pattern to use to maximize the effectiveness of people being close to each other, the movement they make, the direction they face. And by pattern I mean, something everyone can agree on using, maybe cause there is a constellation on the board that encourages the use of a specific common strategy. If we try to use a pattern (i.e. all use similar movements in order to manipulate B and J into some potentially favorable position), then we won't know who everyone is tomorrow, as we will all have used the same movements. The only way I could see this seeming superior to the original plan was if you already know where everyone is and it slipped your mind that the rest of us didn't. | ||

I like that list post though, he points out that UoN is whiteknighting him, something I think scum wouldnt say. Why attack someone who is defending you? So yeah town side of null. About Phagga, I really am liking his recent attacking dudes, asking questions, getting fucking off talking about setup. I could see scum pointing out any action that a townie could accidentally take that would make him appear scummy to others. Actually, it's pretty much their main source of "scumreads". | ||

On May 16 2013 22:41 Oatsmaster wrote: well no, no one really looks at 'whiteknighting' here. Like if it was a legit defense, fine. If not, SMASH YOUR FACE IN. Yeah. And sentinel didnt really get pressured on that. Think of the mindset. A townie wants to find scum. 'hey this dude defended me for no reason. Why? I think its scummy' Scum wants to stay alive. 'Oh good someone thinks im town'. Yeah. I guess I just see too many possibilities, and can't decide which are more likely than the others. I follow your reasoning, but I don't think it necessarily invalidates mine. Like, I've seen enough people called scummy for "defending" someone only to have those people flip town, that I think if I were scum it would occur to me to call out a townie for "defending" me. | ||

It also potentially outs puppets for making Angel favoured moves, or making improper reports. What are the improper reports you're referring to? | ||

Pre-edit: Ugh, I apparently did my vote-checking wrong. I don't want a no-lynch either, though I have few thoughts on deconduo aside from the fact that his case on ghost did seem like low hanging fruit. I'll vote decon to avoid the no-lynch, but I would definitely prefer vivax... ##Vote: deconduo | ||

Yeah, my bad. His second one had them backwards, so I got confused. | ||
