P.S. Don't claim yet, Boxers. This only works if everybody agrees. No claim strategy should be done partway because that is always the worst option. | ||

Every single possible scenario only helps mafai and not town, so no, don't claim named VT's because they can't be confirmed and it only helps mafia if they know how many Named VT's there are. Discussion closed. I don't think it's quite that simple. I don't care if there are no named VTs or 1 or 2 or 3. Yes scum will be learn things about the setup, but honestly that doesn't matter because scum already know that there are X to Y power roles from their configuration. What claiming now does is prevent scum from being able to fake claim a named VT later. It prevents stupid things happening at lynches. Additionally, if we have power roles it gives them info about where they should begin using their powers. Even if scum decide to fake claim now, it's not like we're giving the named VTs a free pass, we're just treating them like miller claims where the info helps us and prevents scum from claiming something like that (e.g. miller) in the future. That's all. It all depends if you think it matters if scum knowing the setup is a bad thing or if the claims could even help our power roles. I'll let other people chime in on this. Ok. Back to this crazy Niners-Seahawks game. | ||

town kush's filter in "##" Mafia as a smurf Choice quotes from his filter that game (where he was town): On October 30 2013 23:26 OOHCHILD wrote: Reason why I nuked WoS: It was a very impulsive move. I was just pissed that clarity had been lynched instead of him, since i had a pretty good townread on clarity. Should be pretty obvious by now but my scumread on WoS changes every second, from probs town to OMG SUCMMIEST PLAYER in the game as I weight the arguments in my head. Right now I could see him flipping either way. I tried to read through his filter last night but I didn't do it full and I wasn't fully present and I didn't make any good conclusions. On October 30 2013 23:29 OOHCHILD wrote: I was just really angry at him and I wanted to use my powers on someone so I figured eh why not him. Also my read of him changes a lot so I figured cant be that bad because he could be scum anyway. Plus I dont know what it is about WoS but his attitude and everything about him pisses me off for some reason. NO offense WOS! It's me, not you. On November 01 2013 16:18 OOHCHILD wrote: you know im town when i start conspiracy theorizing Hmmmm. After reading his filter more from here and ##, I don't know how sure I am of him being mafia, but I'll still post it because it's relevant. These posts by him from ## made me change my mind plus a gut town read I had on him based on the early game. On October 31 2013 02:21 OOHCHILD wrote: It's kind of lame that everyone wants to lynch me for shit I can't control. And prome in my recent scum games I have not been bussing scum and defending townies. I really only ever did that in games with people who didn't know about it. I remember there was this game where someone who knew about it came in as a replacement and I got fucked. On October 31 2013 04:26 OOHCHILD wrote: cant stay but wtf vayne Why so wishy washy? Also I have never played with even a shred of decency on d1 EVER. TL;DR I'm conflicted on kush's play right now. thrawn brings up decent points about kush's meta, but also I trust what kush says about his own meta when playing as town. Time to go find someone else cause I'm not too sure about kush either way. | ||

Lots of early discussion about the two plans + Show Spoiler + He talked a lot about the two plans and asked others about them, and said so many things about them that people were mixing up which plan he was talking about. Not necessarily scummy in and of itself, but a very easy topic to talk about if you don't actually want to start making reads on people | ||

I also figured it would be helpful in case people wanted to see my thoughts on kush since he seemed to be a hot topic (well at least you constantly pushed him) | ||

You just said a while ago you don't like kush's plan which means you don't take claims for granted. Who cares if someone claims named VT when most likely being lynched. It does not mean shit unless you can tell for sure their claim cannot be false which you can't. If we have named VT's claim now we have 0-4 claims. In case we have 0 claims we learn the setup. If we have 1-3 claims we learn that there are 0-3 fakeclaims which in fact tells us absolutely nothing as you can't confirm anything. If we have 4 claims we learn that we have at least 1 scum in the claimed VT's, one fucking mafia in a group of four people, lol. In every situation mafia learns how many power roles town has, possibly even the whole setup depending on the claim numbers and their roles. Do i need to explain more why the claiming does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOOD TO THE TOWN AND ONLY HELPS MAFIA?!?!?!!? VE - Crossfire - thesmurfdude / all those people look terrible. VE + Crossfire for not realising something obvious while agreeing that we should not blindly trust claims smurfdude for not reading the thread or if he has for making a useless post that does not contribute towards anything and asks an useless question that has been explained in thread already. ##unvote ##Vote: Wile E. Coyote Next up is bum. On January 20 2014 22:42 raynpelikoneet wrote: So here are bumatlarge's posts: green: believes claim red: says claim is fake which is it? This is a question that has been answered twice in the thread already. Useless "contribution" or not even reading the thread. Scum hunting is not strong with that one. The first part is entirely false and that's all he's talking about. Again implying the claim is true, and now he is not really suspicious of VE in the end. TLDR; Here's what bum's posts say this far - Does believe the claim but does not believe the claim - Says VE is scummy but VE is not necessarily scummy - Asks a question that's been answered 2 times already. ##Vote: bumatlarge Then kush On January 21 2014 02:01 raynpelikoneet wrote: ##unvote ##Vote: kushm4sta stop it already bum, i have no idea what you are trying to do or why you get angry for no reason at all.

If the claim scares people off his lynch I'd be willing to vote Balla purely because of his "case" against me. On January 21 2014 17:09 Balla24 wrote: I don't like Crossfire at all. His case on Rayn is super weird, where exactly does what rayn does make him scum? He's pressuring a lot of people with cases and votes. Crossfire is calling him scum for not committing to them and switching targets a lot but how does that make rayn scum?? It doesn't. It makes him town. From town perspective everybody starts as neutral and either gets a mafia read or a town read... its the opposite as scum. Rayn builds cases on people he thinks are scum, and posts reasoning too, yet Crossfire just latches onto the action itself and NOT the reasoning of rayn's cases. Rayn is one of the most active people in this game, why does Crossfire feel the need to pressure rayn about something so weak? Then there's this: Where rayn points out why claiming Boxers is a bad thing for town and a good thing for mafia. He essentially brushes that off by saying "mafia already knows information about the setup" without really explaining what. Rayn gives him the courtesy to write out his expected outcomes from the plan but Crossfire does not reciprocate. ##vote Crossfire99 His bolded section is just wrong. It's like he just stopped reading my post after the green section or is trying to purposely misconstrue what I'm saying because there is no reason to stop reading in the middle of the sentence. Especially since the very next sentence explains what the advantage (expected outcome) of my plan was, preventing scum from fakeclaiming before a lynch (*cough* zarepeth *coug*). On January 22 2014 02:31 Balla24 wrote: Past 2 days have been busier than normal. Can't refresh and spam conversations with people like I normally do which is unfortunate. It's looking a lot better moving forward though. As far as Crossfire: His case against rayn is bad and really construed, its very large but the only thing he is attacking is the fact that rayn has jumped around a lot. Like it doesn't make sense to put that much effort into that first off, and secondly why does he feel the need to pressure rayn of all people who is active as hell and will be more readable because of it. It just feels very wrong. The second bit about the Boxers claiming thing is obvious that there is scum motivation for discussing it and getting the town onboard. So him brushing off what was said is super suspicious. Other people who look bad: Jonnylaw, Artanis. Artanis's game plan is really weird and underwhelming to me. He comes in trying to hard read rayn, accuses him of being scum and then leaves. Not only did he only accuse you of being scum because he thinks you have "something to hide" but you had done so much already and now that there was more. This quote where he restates his scum read on me also doesn't work. He's saying I shouldn't pressure rayn just because he's active. That's dumb. If you think someone could be scum, you don't just not pressure them because they're active. He also just assumes that my plan is purely scum motivated and didn't have a legitimate point which was what I said about the whole prevents scum from fake claiming. Basically, Balla seems to purposely miscontrue what I'm saying and paint it in a scummy light instead of just actually reading what I'm saying. | ||

I assumed this as well about the fake claims. It's always been something that's been "standard" to me. You give mafia a role pm written by you to prevent that them from being caught on the specific phrasing of the pm. Apparently it's illegal to even post that though? I don't think that's right. I guess going strictly by the wording of the rule, what zare did was illegal, but I've seen other people do that in other games and not be modkilled for it because it was assumed people got fake claims. I don't know what to believe now. | ||

Because they either have 2 goons or not. I figured it was obvious. They then can narrow things down based on that. 2 goons means 1 powerrole and 1-2 named VTs. If not, there's more spread for the options, but they still know things. | ||

On January 22 2014 06:48 raynpelikoneet wrote: Crossfire, I somewhat agree what you say about Balla but you look way worse because you just dropped your case on me for no reason. Your play all game has made no sense to me and i have no idea what are you going to achieve. Eh, I don't know what I think about you, so I put you on the back burner because I feel stronger about others instead of you. No one seems to think you're scummy now, so I'll have to see what you look like later. Maybe I'm just too paranoid about how active you can be as scum because of ##, but I'm basically waiting to see what happens and reevaluating you then. | ||

What do you think about kush? gut feeling now is town, because of the accidental non vt claim and now I'm seeing the "wildness" and big swings in opinions on players I was seeing when he smurfed and was town in ## (which I though was really weird because i never played with him or observed a game with him in it). | ||

I read this quote as him doing this. I assumed scum got fake claims and therefore know the structure of at least named vts and regular vts, so this made him town in my eyes, but then he didn't act like I expected him too so I got confused. | ||
