@keir, mordanis whoops didn't realize it was still going.
Gah you're making me feel really bad lol. I think I came off as more harsh than I meant to. OK basically, I find a LOT of cases to be unconvincing, and Mordanis isn't a superstar vet, so one unconvincing case doesn't make me think he is scum, as marv was kinda suggesting it might.
If the same case was made by marv/gonzaw/HiroPro, I might see it as a cause for concern, but I don't expect the same cases from Mordanis as I do from those players.

@scib: Ah, I get what you're saying. I just want to make sure you aren't discrediting his reads outright.
And marv's stances this game are really weird to me :o
Anyways, I think I'm going to head to bed so I can be up an hour or two before the deadline. G'nite.

This is a bit of a throwback but it deserves answering.

I'm not asking about who you have more reasons for voting for, or who you want to keep in the spotlight. If you had to bet your life savings right now on who is scum, who would you bet on? At the time of your asking my answer would definitely have been prplhz. After chewing over their more recent posts for a while I still would bet on prplhz over Mord.
There are a few things in the way Mord has been posting that makes me want to keep him around. They are shown well in his latest post. That is a willingness to be wrong/admit mistakes and a seemingly genuine frustration with the passivity of the thread.
prplhz on the other hand hasn't done much to dissuade me from my read on him. His posts since coming back are all focused on pushing Forumite. And while I will admit that the reason he gives for his vote isn't a bad one, the first thing I thought was "of course he went after Forumite, the easy target and the safe bandwagon". Which is kind of ironic to me because he sites himself as the victim of being an easy target in that very same post.
I am uncomfortable lynching Forumite, as I previously said, I just don't read mafia motivations behind his posts. I have found a few reasons to keep Mord around at least for today. I just don't have the same kind of hesitation in voting prplhz, so that is where my vote is staying unless something drastic changes.
@ scrib - What in Forumite's mistakes do you see as hiding mafia motivations?
- I am going to be around for the next ~30 minutes. I will also try to wake up and be around an hour before the deadline.

Further suspicious behavior by Forumite
his willingness to throw suspicion around+ Show Spoiler +I find it suspicious when a player states suspicions of many other players, but either doesn't have townreads, or is unwilling to defend townreads. If Forumite is town, he should have some townreads that he is willing to defend. But, I feel like Forumite is supporting any lynch but his own in an effort to survive: -- mordanis: forumite agreed with shiaopi's case on him and expressed interest in lynching him -- shiaopi: forumite is currently null on shiaopi -- risk.nuke: forumite called out risk.nuke for lurking -- prplhz: forumite is supposedly confident that prplhz is scum I find Forumite's vote on prplhz especially suspicious. See these quotes: On August 08 2012 10:39 Forumite wrote: On prplhz Right now I´m in danger of falling into the OMGUS-trap, because the only thing I´ve gotten from him is the greeting and him calling me out. prplhz calling me out makes me think there´s something wrong with MY play, which makes prplhz a nulltell.

Then suddenly, without any new posts from prplhz, Forumite wants to lynch prplhz or mord. And later, Forumite clarifies that prplhz actually did seem scummy from the first two posts alone. Blatant contradiction. 2) I think his vote on prplhz is way too confident. I don't see anything in prplhz's behavior that justifies such confidence that prplhz is scum. This is slightly scummy on its own, and moreso after considering Forumite's meta, which I will address shortly.

Agree? Partly agree. It´s good in most situations to know who said what, because otherwise it´s impossible to read their play due to old games. On the other hand, just like in Couples Therapy Mafia, they are both responsible for what the other one do. They can´t blame the other player, so most of the time I´ll ignore who said what.

In that light, it might be better to wait until day 3 to claim, and breadcrumb in a foolproof way so that if one mason die before the claim, the other one can confirm himself.

We are most likely one less player tomorrow, maybe 2. 2 confirmed among 12 is not far from 2 confirmed among 14, it´s not enough to single out scum.
The way I see it, either we give scum more targets, or we make sure to get as many confirmed town as possible. If the first, then the masons should claim now, if the second, then we wait until day 3 and have the masons and DTs claim all at once.

The Tracker can track the one doing the nightkill and the roleblocker, and know if his target is a Doc (no roleblock claim and survives), so basically a DT that misses the one scum that does nothing.

It looks a lot like his 'confidence' that MrZentor was scum from WoF. I was expecting to find more similarities, but I guess that's it on meta. Anyway, the best example of a town game I could find of him (Arkham city) looks significantly different.
To summarize, here is everything I find suspicious about Forumite: -- his contradictory logic about not explaining his read on shiaopi due to wanting shiaopi to scumslip -- forumite kept talking about his scum read on shiaopi even after he supposedly realized that his case wasn't good -- his reaction to prplhz calling him scummy was to assume that prplhz must be right and his case on shiaopi must be bad -- the post to me in which he calls his own case bad and casts doubt on his own scumhunting ability -- overall tone toward vets and active players is a bit too passive/friendly IMO -- contradicts himself about his initial views on prplhz -- doesn't have any townread that he is willing to defend from lynching. I don't think he has explicitly disagreed with any scumread or case presented thus far -- acts very sure that prplhz is scum. Unjustifiably so, IMO -- fits his scum meta better than his townie meta IMO
@DYH I don't really see Forumite as trying to push a scum agenda. I just see him trying to fake being a townie (aka survive), but not doing a good enough of a job. His contradictions make me think he has been lying about reads, reasons for reads, and reasons for changing reads. Scum don't have reads, so they need to lie about that kind of stuff. Not defending other people is a scum trait: he doesn't care who gets lynched as long as it isn't him. Being friendly toward vets and casting doubt on his own scumhunting are both ways to try to gain friends, but don't have good townie motivations.
I still think Forumite has a pretty good chance of being scum. It's possible I'm wrong about him, but I don't think I am.

I'm going to bed. I'll be up very shortly before the deadline.
My views on anyone that might be in contention for lynching: very suspicious: Forumite suspicious: prplhz, shiaopi not suspicious: Mordanis
I agree with Mordanis that this D1 has been a bit frustrating. It's actually remarkable how little our 'vets' have done today now that I think about it. prplhz, risk.nuke, CL, HiroPro, and marv to an extent.
On the upside, I think we have a pretty good shot at lynching scum tomorrow, especially if we lynch forumite, but I could also see us hitting scum with prplhz.
Good night.

This goes back to part of Shiao's case on Mordanis, where Mordanis tied himself up in knots a bit about it.

The problem I have with this post is that it's highlighting something without providing your own commentary on it. As DYH said, it's highlighting a contradiction that wasn't even really a contradiction.

He literally didn't post for at least 2 cycles and missed at least 2 votes, and he was town. Even if this isn't meant as anti-lurker, looking for players who "don't care about town" doesn't make any sense at all. It's saying that he wants to lynch people for low town standing. I really don't think marv thought that CL was scum because he didn't have 3 pages in his filter yet, so it makes a lot more sense to me to assume that marv's vote was for pressure. In that perspective, it worked, as CL posted a fair amount of analyzable content afterwards. The vote doesn't quite make sense as a pressure vote though either.

I'm going to look more into the Forumite situation. Need to mull over what slOosh said to me and also see if I can make anything out of what seems to be a lot of 'meh' from people about it. On one hand, it could simply be more pressure. The problem is that if you remove these two votes and their reasoning, Marv has posted basically only questions, answers, and requests. So if these two posts are purely for pressure and Marv is not convinced that inactivity is scummy, then Marv hasn't really posted any content. And if the votes were legitimate (not for pressure), then Marv is using a heuristic to find scum that I think is just dumb. Simply put, his play doesn't line up.
Before I begin my next point, I want to point out again that Marv has either played in or cohosted every game I've played. Assumably this means that he has read every post of mine, and known my alignment for most of them the entire time. Marv must know my habits, foibles, tells, and what to do to get me lynched at this point. This is rather important.

Marv has the sickest meta-read opportunity in history right now, but instead of using his experience of 100% of my play, he defers to others. To someone whom he ostensibly believes is scum. It seems like he's scared to come out and say that he thinks I'm scummy. Or townie. Hell, his "pressure votes" read the same way to me, like he's afraid of offering his reads, and so instead he'll do the townie thing and discourage lurking by pressuring lurkers. Even his multitudinous requests, questions, and instructions read the same way, as if he wants someone else to do the work for him. Either he is truly being lazy, or he is trying to hide behind others. Why he would try to hide behind others as town is beyond me. As town your goal is to spread information that leads to lynching scum. As scum you want to delay scum lynches while using your kp at night. Making other people do work without doing any of your own fits only the goal of scum.
In short, marv is either extremely light on sharing his opinions, or is trying to find scum in a really bad way. Also, he seems to be afraid to take responsibility, which seems very scummy.

Prplhz as people have already pointed out don't play like this as town and I prefer to hang him rather then Forumite. ##Vote: prplhz
Worth to note - Mordanis votes for a a new lynch candidate a couple of hours before the deadline and then says he will go to bed. If he honestly thinks he can get someone lynched on that short notice without staying in the thread absolutely screaming and arguing then I'm a horse. So what I can make of that is Mordanis pretty much doesn't care who dies.

That's the problem, I don't see why if he was trying to fake a townie he'd have thrown out that pointless read so early. It doesn't add up.
I'm happy with my vote on prplhz.
I'm perplexed by Mordanis's cases so far (on me or otherwise), and sorry bro, I don't know your posting well enough to understand if it's scum motivation or if they're just awful and full of contradictions.
Kinda a bit suspicious of HiroPro at the moment for content and very suspicious of Keirathi. He's made one post with his opinions on lynch candidates, and apart from that his entire filter is jabs, picking, poking, criticising.

1) I grow weary of pointing out Forumite's blatant self-contradictions, but originally, after prplhz's first two posts, Forumite lists prplhz as a nulltell. Then suddenly, without any new posts from prplhz, Forumite wants to lynch prplhz or mord. And later, Forumite clarifies that prplhz actually did seem scummy from the first two posts alone. Blatant contradiction.
Hm this is a good point.

Alright, I'll vote for Forumite. I suppose prplhz could just be genuinely busy.

I don't really have anything new to bring against him as he hasn't written anything new. But his silence is condemning, his apparent desire to fly under the radar while everyone is focusing on Shiao/Mord/Forum. He needs to be kept in the spotlight with all our other suspects and he has earned my vote.

Voting for me because I am lurkish. It's a little wobbly between scum and pressure vote but

prplhz very much is not.
I'm going to look more into the Forumite situation. Need to mull over what slOosh said to me and also see if I can make anything out of what seems to be a lot of 'meh' from people about it.

On August 09 2012 05:32 HiroPro wrote:Let's kill prplhz. As town he may act overwhelmed at times but he certainly doesn't display the attitude or lack of interest that he does here. This is much more like his scum games ( Normal Mini II and Movie Star) where he acts annoyed and angry for no reason and does nothing. As for Forumite, I'll wait and see. The contradiction that sciberbia and slOosh talk about (wanting to pressure Shiao but at the same time withholding reasoning because ) is certainly present but he's brought a lot more attention onto himself actively than I would expect from a scum player and definitely looks interested in town affairs. We shouldn't lynch him today. ##Vote prplhz I don't know what to think of this, when I am busy I play like I am playing right now. I appreciate the effort but if you look at Mad Men Mafia you'll see me play lurkish too (and get lynched on day1) and I was town that game. HiroPro, why are you ignoring Mad Men Mafia? Also, how exactly do you feel that my play looks like Normal Mini Mafia II and Movie Star Mafia but not like Mad Men Mafia?

I´m still waiting for your contribution, and your answer to my latest post. Your excuse is a lie, you were not testing out your reads. You are now trying to take credit for something which you inadvertently caused which makes no sense at all. You appear to be overly worried about what people think about you and your explanations don't make sense. This is why you are the scummiest in the thread. Yeah, this isn´t the prplhz I´m used to. I can take the fact that you think I´m scum, but I can´t understant why you are not reading what I write and are deliberately misunderstand things. Do you really think I´m trying to take town-credit for being the cause of a discussion about wether or not I´m scum? I don´t think you have any interest in this game at all, you are among the top candidates for a lynch and your defence is nonexistant.

You are an easy target because you are scummy, and you haven´t tried to change anyones mind about you since returning, you´d rather throw some suspicion around and hope it blows over. I was ready to vote you earlier when you had posted twice in total, now you are back and I´m even more sure that you are scum. ##Vote prplhz Why are you as town saying something that you don't mean? I read the thread and then I react to that, you shouldn't say stuff you don't mean if you are town because the best you can achieve is that some guy will misunderstand you. Like it's already been pointed out this looks very OMGUS and you were just waiting for me to post so that you could put your vote on me (you'd already expressed the desire to do this but also some scummy reluctance to do it).

The 1 liners, and jumping on the most popular case once he did contribute doesn't help his standing in my eyes, and fits with his Normal Mini II scum play. For now, he gets my vote.
##vote prplhz
I'll be around for a couple of hours for discussion though. You don't know what to think so you'll just lynch me? Since when are 1 liners something that scum primarily do and how did I just jump on Forumite? I wrote what I liked about the sciberbia case, the point about his weird explanation of his ShiaoPi vote was really good. Forumite is writing something that very literally makes no sense just because he is under light pressure, this is really scummy. You are voting me for being lurkish and for voting someone else for a legit reason.

Is this legit? Seriously, you are all voting for an easy target, not because I am scummy but because I lurked a bit. Then you are vaguely referring to the only actual case against me (HiroPro's) which is in itself really vague and also has a big flaw in it (in that he ignores my most recent game where this exact same thing happened as town). People should just notice this if I get lynched, HiroPro is the only one who actually ever brought out any arguments against me, the rest were a pressure vote and a bunch of vague references to that case, and I think it looks like HiroPro is being set up.

First off regarding Mord: While I can agree on your point that marv seems overly cautious I cannot agree with your points about his vote. What he does by pressure voting first custos then prphlz is to discourage inactivity and not getting involved with the discussion. How can you say that this is not playing with townmotivation in mind if it helps combat anti-town play?
But nevertheless, this seems to me at least an improvement from your case on me. It is correct to be wary of marv.
At the moment I really do not know if it is that good to lynch prphlz...It is a lurker lynch bascially, flipping a coin on the chance that it really is different from his meta because he is scum or that he simply lacked time.
Reading through the latest points of scib got me convinced that Forumite might actually be scum. Coupled with Mord actually starting to make sense, when I look at it from his point of view (no offense ) and my discomfort with a prphlz lynch I expressed above, I will change my vote to Forumite. Since my vote on Mord achieved some success in getting him to post more sensible and it probably won't get any traction looking at it in 3 hours to deadline.

I like prhplz response to the votes, adds up onto my thoughts that he is just busy. @Marv: I think currently Forumite is set to be lynched

When I read that I see someone who is rushing a greeting to show that he´s here, doesn´t say anything on his own views and wants to shut down policydiscussion. It´s the very first post of the game, and he wants us to NOT talk about the only thing there is to talk about. Basically I thought I saw some kind of anti-town motivation here.

I changed my mind because I knew I wasn´t getting anywhere. I didn´t have much to start with, and I got conflicting reads the first time I reexamined the case. That HiroPro, marvel and prplhz spoke up against me making accusations and/or against the actual case mattered a lot too, because I doubted my read if none of the other "veterans" agreed, and because I didn´t want to distract the thread more than I had allready done. That´s about it, I´m back to square one on ShiaoPi. [/b][/b] It's okay that you read what other people say but listening to them because of how many games they've played makes no sense. Townies are ever paranoid and Forumite wants to hear the opinions of three people so that he can adjust his reads according to them. I think that townies mostly just stick with what they think (and if they're new at the game and someone disagrees with them then they'll call those disagreeing people scum). Forumite put his read out there so that he could adjust his behavior according to what three people thought without ever clarifying why he is assuming that they're town (he's even very suspicious of me at this point).
His filter has a decent size (considering that it's day1) but there's nothing in there that I would think is townie. He is poking a little at people "Where is Custos Luna" and "risk.nuke is lurking" but he is not following up on it. Other than that, it's primarily defending himself and then trying to get his vote down. His posting has a really constructed look over it like he thinks too much about not making any missteps.

@scrib -I've allready answered why I kept saying I thought ShaioPi was scum even when I got unsure. -I got suspicious of prplhz earlier, but didn't trust my read at first, because I thought it might have been anger at him voting for me. Then he came back and didn't change my opinion after three posts, so I went with my earlier read, that he's scum.
About mord I don't think he's scum. I don't like his long posts, but he's actually my strongest townread right now.
I'm not sure if I'll be around anymore before the deadline.
