Pandain is likely scum because of his entry in the thread.

Only contributes to spam. Keep outside conversations outside. Somehow he is tired to post anything productive, but not tired enough to make a fake contribution saying doing something to get the thread going is wrong. Unlike probulous which I believe was trying to somehow produce content, his post is exactly what he accuses probulous of doing, which is posting with no purpose just to appear to be contributing. Town has no reason to do that and suggest nothing better to discuss.

He's calling Prob out on talking about where people live and saying "hey is anyone here?" (Pandain's quote, not mine). He's not calling him out for talking about things like policy or how to catch scum. Plus, if you look at TL Mafia XXXVIII where he rolls town-side he makes a similar post:

1.No Spam To paraphrase Ver, to spam is almost as bad as being useless, sometimes even more so. In fact, I will probably be either lynching a "inactive" or a very spammy person. I have no idea how town nearly won last game(Insane mafia.) That game was a shitfest, and seriously analysis was a drop of water in the desert there. You don't need to share every thought you have. Just don't be inactive, and don't post 70x the amount in a LR thread, and you'll be good.
Why are you so quick to jump on him for posting something that typifies his town play?

EBWOP:
Not enought reason to lynch him. (Rather than vote in my first sentence).

You only quoted part of his post in that game. What makes me believe that is a scum post is the way it's written and the lack of follow up. Why does it bother you that I'm voting pandain?
|
It bothers me because
A) It didn't seem like enough reason to lynch somebody based on the quote I gave and B) Based on the lynch rules, it seems like we have to be a bit more careful with throwing around votes without gathering as much info as possible.
I could be mistaken on B though, and if I am I would appreciate you letting me know.
To follow up though, what part of the rest of the quote in that game which I left out changes the context of what he was saying?
|
That game he is running for office and talking about policy of lynching people that lurk or spam the thread. The tone on this way different: It's pls guys don't spam gg I'm out. So tired sorry. My hunches on scum are based on subtleties but they are more often then not correct.

Decon, are you seriously saying that my list was the only thing I contributed to this game? Because that is the only way it could be used to drive an agenda. To make it look like I was contributing while actually posting nothing. Well so far I pointed out Pandain's scummy attempt to undermine me, Palmar's "scumslip" (I don't believe it, just needed a response) and I had the discussion with Misder which convinced you he was scum. How can you cast suspicion on me for hiding?
It should be clear to everyone that the list was made early game to help people be aware of timezones. That is all. How that is scummy I will never know.

However, the fact that you jump on it is interesting to me, and why do you do it in such a soft way? Do you actually think that I might be scum because of this? Or are you just looking for an easy opportunity to discredit me?
Here is what you wrote.

Note that you finish the sentence in present tense (bolded). How can you tell us anything after death? If that is what you meant the sentence doesn't make sense. Secondly the reason I asked in a soft manner is exactly because I don't think you would slip so easily. It's not an attempt at discrediting you, it was to get a reaction and a response. I like your follow up though

Tea, in all your posts you have not been able even once to explain how my actions are mafia driven. You entire case is that I have been saying the right things. How does that make me mafia? You my friend have started with a conclusion and then made your argument based on it.

nooo...? I think you're doing scummy things.
There's a difference between doing townie things and trying to do townie things.
And also different types of "townie" things.
See, people are often confused that only townies can say things that are beneficial for townies. I've caught out so many scum who spend their time with mechanics based posts but virtually no scumhunting.
However, your rebuttal of my pressure on you (ie, starting scumhunting) is a good start.

I believe Probulous is town, or at least not scummy enough to lynch day 1. He's way too active/aggressive I feel for him to be mafia, although I'll have to look at his previous games for confirmation.
I'm most suspicious of The_Toast. Contrary to his last game as town, (filter HERE) he is much more taciturn this game.
Compare that with his current posts. All hes done is agree with what others said, and justify his own views(almost guiltily/apolegtic.)
Pandain's point is valid none-the-less. We need to avoid getting sidetracked. That's all I was trying to say.
I would say why don't we wait for a few hours and see if we actually have any lurkers. And obvious scum should still be lynched first day one, if there are really no good candidates I would say then we should consider lynching a lurker. But in that case the lurker would be the best candidate, so I still say lynches need to be based on good analysis.
I reiterate: silly lynch rules really only benefit scum. Logical analysis first please. generic, "pro town" advice.
wasn't trying to specifically call you out. See the first word in that bolded sentence? "WE" As in ALL of us, together, need to avoid getting side tracked. I'm also unsure how you get me accusing you of "spamming" from me saying we need to avoid getting side tracked.
And to be fair, you did start a side conversation with Misder. I don't know that constitutes "spamming", but it's not going to lead to posts that can provide good analysis one way or the other. Just saying.
I wasn't trying to say you were spamming, I don't know why you are being so defensive about this. Pandain made a point about avoiding outside conversation in the thread, I agreed with that point. I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything. So no, I don't have a problem with it.
And you're right, I do try to think logically. As such I don't think two posts by themselves are enough to prove anyone as scum. #vote the Toast

Whilst I am enjoying Toast being more "taciturn" this game you are correct in that it is a change of style. What he actually says makes sense though. I think he didn't enjoy getting pulled into a back and forth with me about stuff he didn't think was significant. That was my understanding when I dropped it.
Pandain, what do you think about the others that jumped on your suggestion that I was spamming? Specifically RG and AKCT (tea, whatever he wants to be called).
|
RG is either blue(lets put it out there, he basically claimed blue), townie trying to pull off a badass plan, or a badass mafia trying to pull off an even more badass plan.
Given that I don't think mafia would ever have the balls to fake claim blue day 1, I'm going to have to go with townie/blue. Speaking of which, if theres a watcher out there watch RG because mafia are going to try to kill him unless we have someone watching him.
AKCT hasn't done anything scummy. At least not anything that we can pinpoint definitively too. Right now your just clouded by the fact they both accused you, and you probably think anyone who supports you is town to. That's a dangerous, oftentimes wrong assumption to make. The_Toast, to the best of day1 analysis can go, is our best bet for right now.

I agree on RG. If you have courage take a look at Arkham City (Adam rolls his eyes). He claimed everything under the sun and looked scummy as hell but ended up being a regular vet. The fact that he put together an atrocious case on me and called it so makes him pretty much town in my eyes. Weird play but produced some interesting results.
Tea however jumped at the opportunity to call me scum when everyone else who pushed me, never did. RG clearly didn't believe I was scum or he would have pushed much harder but tea sheeps. Then he tries to explain his sheep with the worst possible logic available. He could be townie who doesn't know what is going on, but if that is the case why jump at me? He wants to look like he is contributing when he isn't.
I am fully aware that townies will target other townies. That happens all the time, that is why people's motivations for posting are important. From what I have seen from Tea he wants to look like he is contributing without contributing. Hence my suspicion. The fact that it was me is irrelevant.

Let me get this straight. You think I'm scum because I'm being too nice? Based on what, the one* other game of mafia I've played? Well then, why don't you take a closer look at that game, you might see that I didn't post any serious analysis or votes until like 24 hours into the game. I prefer to wait until there is a good amount of evidence before making any votes or claims. And why does agreeing with you contribute to my scumminess? Are you now suddenly in favor of conversations that side track the game? Or just in favor of lynching people who agree with you about avoiding conversations that side track the thread? I love how you quoted me defending you against Probe's accusation as well. Excellent evidence you have provided.
Pandain right now you have 4 posts in this game. You called out Probulous with some vague accusations:
On March 01 2012 12:57 Pandain wrote: That took a long time to post. Are you hiding something?
Then after both probe and sandroba call you out on this, you've very next post is--not responding to either of these--but rather to come out claiming Probulous is town--without a single shred of evidence or analysis--and claiming that I am scum based on scant evidence. Then post #4, have you addressed probe or sandroba's accusations? Nope. You tell Probe (who again, has not mysteriously become townish) that his vote on AKCoT is bad and that tunneling me is the best bet.
Pandain, right now I still don't think there is enough evidence against you to make a scum call; but it looks to me like you are desperately trying to focus attention off of yourself.

AKCT isn't actingi scummy. What was his first post? A vote of you with no explanation. Mafia would never ever EVER do that, that's so suspicious. Mafia are usually careful, and reticent in demeanor(part of why I think The_Toast is mafia). Theres one thing I have suspicions about but as of yet I'm waiting to see what he does about it, and telling him will ruin it. As of now I feel any evidence regarding AKCT is speculative, while more conclusive evidence is elsewhere.
Toast's latest response is more interesting actually....

Contrast this tone with the others. Looks like hes trying hard to make a good point(with italics + bolding and shit). Not only that but while writing this post he researched other players(shown by his accusations of me, saying how I had 4 posts, noting my play).
His accusations of me mean that he could either be a trigger-happy townie, or that he's trying to downplay me. I can't determine anything out of that, actually it sort of helps his case.
This part is quite interesting though:
I love how you quoted me defending you against Probe's accusation as well. Excellent evidence you have provided. I'm interested what you meant by that, Toast. Why would you defending me lend you any town support? How would you know if I'm town?
By far though the most compelling and persuasive argument against him is the fact that he accused me, rather certainly in his opinion, that i was "desperately trying to hide something", and that I'm playing scummily. And yet overall, I'm not a good enough vote? Seems a bit of a paradox there.

Welcome back Misder, second wiggles game for both of us. If you're town again, do you plan on playing out the whole game this time?
There was no need for your post, as it added nothing to the game. However your posting since has been good, so I'm not as suspicious of you anymore. I think you are wrong about teacup though.

You're making some big assumptions there but that is your perogative. My vote stands until he produces something of worth. I don't see Toast as scum, you neither so I will be looking elsewhere.
My logic is simple really. You insinuated I was spamming/hiding something and but never followed it up. Hence it was a fish. Those that jumped on it are trying to push and discredit me, thus they go on my scummy list until they do something that redeems them.
Adam, you've been pretty quiet this game. Your thoughts on Palmar's response to you would be nice. I'm finding him hard to read.
Finally has anyone noticed a distinct lack of Jackal about? It's almost been 24hrs and nothing. It would suck if he couldn't play.
