I am of the opinion that inactive players are a good candidate for lynching. There is too much mystery involved with someone whose only contribution to the thread is nonexistent.
In regards to the noobie-card policy: I have to say that claiming inexperience is a terrible defense against any accusation. Djo in the last newbie game made several references to him being a noob (and being town), and it only served to make him seem suspicious to other players.
You are sure taking lurker policy lynch seriously. Would you explain us at which point suspicious players become better lynch candidates than inactive players ? Then you suddenly go silent on that issue. And inactive players ARE suspicious (and you can't automatically say whether they're more suspicious or less suspicious than another suspicious player, without providing concrete examples) so it's a moot question anyway. Not your only moot question (you've been called out for asking the "are you mafia?" pointless question, too.)

I'm sorry but I didn't understand you meant with this post. Like not at all... Please take your time and gather your evidences. I'll defend myself after that. I'm not going to yell at you anymore

I didn't find something as suspicious as that in other players posts. Maybe the role-fishing question from sylver but that's all. Nevertheless, I understand your criticism better now. I would have appreciated if you have made this post before.
And there is a difference between applying a policy and trying to find what is scummy. Even in lurker's posts.
Ok that makes a little more sense. I'm thinking I might have misread your intentions for attacking them. My vote still stands but expect me to gather my thoughts on this matter in the coming hours.

For now, I'm going with lynching the confusing lurker. If he either becomes A) not confusing, B) makes no action at all and makes me believe a modkill is incoming, or C) is replaced and the replacement can make some contribution.

@sylver
Not asking questions, not putting pressure on anyone and give only town reads is a total lack of scumhunting in my opinion. Remember that the easiest thing for mafia to give are townreads because they know our alignment.

Uh, I've said my reasons. I don't find your defenses/ignorance of accusations adequate, I don't like how you're like BLIND LURKER POLICY IS BAD when NOBODY was advocating blind lurker policy (last resort lurker policy) which pretty much was turning the discussion into a very useless one, then you turn around and start aggressively attacking Ini for lurking.

- poor responses to accusations in the past - "You sure are taking policy seriously" -> Attack lurkers aggressively (the contradiction inherent here) - accusing ini of "not scumhunting" when he posted his reads on people, simply because none of those reads were reads of scum (they were townie or null reads, and ini blatantly admitted such)- Inig was not showing any scumhunting in his posts, only fluff - Emotional levels running awfully high as people mount pressure on you, but not much defense from accusations. - "I don't care if alsn has a FOS on me" is your only defense against him for a long time. Only just now did you even acknowledge his accusations as legit. - Accusing me of sheeping when I've made it clear that I was suspicious of you pretty early. Since then, you've given me more reasons to suspect you.

Last game newbie game I was totally wrong with all my reads. But I'm not going to let it affect my faith in my ability to find scum. Moreover, even if I'm wrong, I'm giving mafia less room to hide if I take strong a clear stances about some players. I don't have strong scumread at the moment but I would prefer to confront people in a very direct way if I start to be suspicious of them. Because that's how I think I can generate the most useful information. It seems natural for you but it wasn't at all in my previous newbie game, so I want to encourage people to have this state of mind. This is all I'm thinking about when I'm talking about confidence (so it's not exactly confidence in your reads).
On a side note, if you have understood that I've called debears town, I think you have misinterpreted my post. Feeling townie vibes from someone doesn't mean I consider him as town. It's a feeling I have from I read in his post (similar to the last game we have played together where he was townie) and his general behavior in his game. Believe or not, being aggressive like this early game benefits town. Because it allows us to have constructed discussion...
"Feeling townie vibes from someone doesn't mean I consider him as town". What does this mean??????? So I'm townie to you but not at the same time? This is a weak statement that is a contradiction in a mafia-oriented way to his play. By saying that I have townie vibes but am not town is keeping a door open for suddenly accusing me later. Who wants to keep an open door for sudden accusation on any person in the game? Mafia. I have a little problem with this notion. You can definitely get a "town vibe" from somebody but not fully consider them town. Always being suspicious and vigilant, especially with no hard evidence like on d1, is wise. I don't think this is a valid point, to be honest. Despite this, Djodref has a mountain against him.

I've explained why I've answered this question ("are you mafia") already. Could you please re-read my filter and tell me if you are satisfied or not with my explanations ?
I don't care if I look clean or not, my principal concern is to find the mafia. And, for your information, I'm not tunneling you, just putting you under some pressure. The only player I have a FoS on is Inig as for now.
I'm accepting your explanations and I would like you to tell us what you think about Inig. I'm insisting on him because mafia players have this tendency to semi-lurk while looking like they contribute.
Regarding Rad, I'm trusting debears to take care of him right now ^^ I'm following their exchanges with great interest. He's "trusting me to take care of Rad". Wow. Why the disinterest in pursuing him? Why is he willing to lay back and let me take the reins on accusing him? Why would a townie want another townie to "take care of" pursuing someone? Scum, on the other hand, want townies to do the dirty work for them. If Djodref really thinks Rad is scum, why let someone else pursue? If you have a read, go for it. Don't beat around the bush and go off into the distance. Being multi-focused is acceptable, it's confusing why Djo would just "let debears take care of it". It makes no sense, unless he somehow knows Debears is town. In terms of the scumslip, I'm still thinking that the reference to Do0ud being town is a scum tell. His explanation for it, while being entirely plausible, fails to convince me whatsoever. His saying "my main concern is finding mafia" also doesn't sit well. The constant asking for info on Ingi / diverting attention, his useless "are you mafia?" question that I pointed out earlier, the inability to adequately answer some of the accusations/questions thrown at him. It doesn't add up. Actually, it does add up. I'm thinking he's scum. I've had a FoS on you for quite some time now, Djodref. Time to upgrade it. ##Vote: Djodref @CheesePlease specify which accusations/questions I couldn't address (please refer to the part in bold font in the spoiler). I'll try to answer adequately to them this time.
The text you put in bold regarding my thoughts on you was, specifically, a reference to the point at which Rad was asking you about not changing your arguments on policy lynching.

@dandel
I understand your stance about policy lynch. I guess it's just that we have different experience from our previous games. I liked your explanations but I'm not going to change my mind about it. Moreover, if we have to go for a policy lynch today, I would prefer to lynch a lurker like Inig (semi-lurker) than a complete lurker. Could you please expand upon this? @ClarityI was talking with Dandel about policy lynch, especially the fact that you have to agree early about it or not. I don't think it's good to establish a policy early and I'm not going to change my mind, even if dandel has good arguments for it. Why did you pick on this sentence ? As you can see I basically insta-posted this response when you made your post. Reason being it's a bit wishy-washy. "I agree with you but I'm not gonna change my mind" It doesn't add up dandel has a stance about policy lynching and I have another one. We both have arguments to support our stances, his are good and mine are good (I would say that they are better). I guess it's our different experience which is really defining our opinion about it. I can't think of any good reason a townie would have to be completely unopen to changing their opinion on something regardless of the arguments presented. Worst case scenario for a townie is you're just not convinced by the argument so you keep your original opinion, then someone's not happy that they couldn't convince you. Seems like a scummy stance. The scummy reasoning would go something like "I need to be consistent, and if someone changes my opinion on something, I'll look inconsistent, so I'm going to just make it clear that I'm not going to change my mind on this so it's dropped."That's what you sound like with that statement djo. @RadI don't care, it's an argument about policy lynch. I don't even understand why you are putting such an interest in this. I'm not saying that I'm not going to change my mind about a player or a lynch or something important... What do you think about Inig's posts by the way ? On October 26 2012 09:23 Djodref wrote: @Rad
by the way,
His argument is good by my argument is better. Not going to change my mind. Are you satisfied ?
The point that I find most interesting is when Rad says the bolded portion.
Rad thinks it's scum mentality. Your only address on the issue is essentially that "I don't care if I look scummy, this discussion is pointless, and my arguement is better". Why are you so unwavering about your opinion in this matter?

Hi guys I read the thread (not super close towards the end though because I wanted to finish).
I think we should lynch Daoud.
He is posting just enough to be considered not a lurker. This level of activity is exactly what you want to lynch d1.
He catches Djo in the classic "scumslip," which does not always indicate scum, but that's not important. "Why did you call me town djo?" Then he says oh there might be a sk I guess my point is invalid. Makes no sense. Bringing it up in the first place is a null tell, because it's an easy catch. But dropping it for such a stupid reason, that is scummy.
This is his most significant post so far:

Deb and rad have been so active and poking at each otjers that they actually look very townie to me. Pushing ideas, bringing content, putting pressure.
Talking about smileyDjo he has put a lot of pressure on people. Asking open questions etc. For having played a game with him where he played to nice lovable newbie card, I believe he is trying to step up and actually be a leader for town. I put him 90% town.
I totally hate the lurkers who actually do not post anything and hide to avoid potential suspicions. Id rather lynch lurking townie first day who doesn't help get info and push others to scumslip.
If scum are among active player we will have time to hunt them down. They will contradict themselves.
And we have semi lurkers like roco or blending ini. Which are pretty much as bad for town.
I would like to put my vote on Ini at the moment cause roco seems like a total newbie trying to stand out.
##Vote Ini
So he gives off some town reads. Djo is 90% town... what the fuck. I don't see how you can think that after playing last game with him. Asking open questions makes him 90% town? ok
I totally hate the lurkers who actually do not post anything and hide to avoid potential suspicions. Id rather lynch lurking townie first day who doesn't help get info and push others to scumslip.
This is such a weird time to talk about lurkers, unless he is giving that as his reason for voting Ini, but Ini isn't even close to the biggest lurker.
So why is he voting for ini? 2 words: "Blending in." Sick case bro.

Finally just now claiming "not needing to consolidate" is fishy to me too. If we don't consolidate, we're going to have someone get lynched with like 3 votes, reducing scum's need to assist in the lynchwagon as well as improving scum ability to make sure one of their own cannot be lynched - so we're less likely to find scum today, but equally importantly, we would have less information later in the game (and could cause town to go rabid on itself) We want to consolidate.
I dunno if mods have more replacements lined up, I sure hope so. Having 3 playerdrops happen on day 1 is really depressing to me.
@sylver
I understand that you can see this as a contradiction. It would have been better if you had brought it by yourself at that time rather than doing it right now but it's ok.
I was calling Roco out because he was posting nonsense. I was hoping for him to post some more in response to this pressure rather than go back to lurk-land. I have been calling Inig out because his posts were lacking of scumhunting. He could have done it but he was preferring posting about what was going on in the thread.
Still waiting to see where I've been switching gears a lot (not really sure to understand what that means).

More on daoud: He seems much more careful about what he says this game than last game. Last games his posts were like WTF is this weird guy talking about. This game they look like he doesn't want to catch anyone's attention.
Why we shouldn't lynch djodref today: He does look pretty scummy. But I don't see how anyone can have a lot of certainty in that read. Combination of high activity and low certainty means he should not lynch him. Also realize that djodref is in a position where he NEEDS to evolve his meta whether he is town or scum. His first game he played as a noob, understandable because it was his first game. His second game, he pretended to be a noob as a scum strat. I think showing that he is better than the newb he pretended to be last game would be the natural play for town djodref, and also scum djodref trying to appear as town djodref.
Djo: who out of the active players seems scummiest to you? Also why did you bring up how you want to lynch a lurker without even trying to pressure your scumreads?

@Kush
Debears and Rad are looking quite ok. I'm leaning town for both of them. I'm waiting for Cheese to post what he has to say about me because I'm still null on him.
I didn't like some posts from sylver but he had some nice reactions during our latest fight. I need some time to look at dandel. I didn't like the way he voted Inig, but he said he was not sure even.
I would say sylver right now...
But I've been spending too much time defending myself. I need to calm down and re-read some filters for a while.
|
Regarding daoud, I don't want to lynch him because he has reacted quite fast and naturally to my slip. Him posting some nonsense about the possibility of a SK just after totally fits his meta.
He needs to post a lot more though...
|
Yes, I was referring to that part. I had an FOS on Roco that I didn't really want to retract at the time, and wasn't certain about having multiple FOS out at the time. I have since asked about the rules on that, and been informed that multiple FOS are perfectly fine.
|
Regarding an Inig's lynch, I'm not comfortable with it...
In my opinion, he had a positive response after my case against him. I doubt that he could be a scum after that. His role claim was looking really sincere. If he can improve his presence in the thread and his scumhunting, I don't want to lynch him. I'm going to unvote him. I would cast my vote on Roco or imcasey if they magically reappear. I'll wake up early tomorrow to see if the bandwagon is still against me or not.
If you are town, do not sheep and cast your vote against me. Read my filter and make your own opinion by yourself. You are going to feel some heat if you cast your vote too lightly because I'm going to flip green.
I'm sorry but I need some sleep guys

I've been looking over my reasons for wanting Djodref gone and I'm thinking that it's probably for the best to lynch someone else. Admittedly, I'm still not entirely convinced of his innocence but in case his slip was just a genuine comment referring to their last game coupled with the fact that I probably misread his reasons for attacking Roco/Inig I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I'm inclined to agree with kush wrt to da0ud. I definitely reacted much in a similar way when I read the 90% town comment but more than that I feel like he is too concerned with pointing out to people that he "cares" about the town.
Such as here where he feels the need to point out that it's worrying that we are already one less town. On October 26 2012 23:07 da0ud wrote: One thing worries me and seems to have caught no ones attention. Clarity has been modkilled!! We are already one less town!! And he was posting actual content.

Both posts are screaming of "posting for the sake of seeming active and helpful" more than actually being helpful.
In summary, I feel that even on the off chance that Djod is scum, so far he has at the very least helped town in that he has pressured players into participating, which at the very least is good for the town atmosphere. There's of course the risk that he's deliberately pressuring townies into seeming suspicious, but for now I think that's a chance I'm willing to take.

Interesting take on Da0ud. I don't like his voting of Inig at all, especially when Inig has debunked arguments in a concise manner and has begun to ask questions as of late. I really need Da0ud to post more before I can get a concrete read on him.

Ok. Your suspicion about me is stated in that post but it is in no way clearly stated. What do you think about my defense. Any comments ?

Ok there's a lot to catch up on and I'm seeing some wtf kind of stuff going on
@Kush Welcome! I'll read over your case on dauod and look at his filter.
Also, I would like your thoughts on my case and Rad's case on Djo. Right now, I see two scumslips by Djo (read the case). Also, Djo is a player that I believe if fully capable of being active as scum. The cases are both around the modkill time for Clarity.
@Alsn and Slyverfyre
While I agree that Djo is suspicious, what I find alarming is how neither of you mention the cases that Rad and I laid out on him. Your reasoning seems weak at a first glance. I will reread though and see if I'm missing something.
Meanwhile, look over the cases on Djo by me and rad.
@Djo I have some thoughts on Alsn and Inig right now, as well as some things I need to talk about with you on my case on you. Give me a little bit and I'll have it posted
|
@Djo
On Alsn
The main part of Alsn's case is his meta and his FOS on you.
In terms of meta, Alsn has not been fitting his activity and involvement of the last game when he was town. However, he has stated suitable IRL reasons and has recently picked up his activity level with his active discussion with others. Right now, his meta is a null tell.
Then, with the FOS. I believe his FOS was suitable. He was wishy washy quite a bit last game. It seems to me more indicative of his looking at both sides of the motivation behind posts.
Alsn is a null read right now. I expect him to pick up his activity level day 2. If he doesn't, then we can do something about it. Lynching him today is a poor option.
