Do you honestly believe a town vivax would see himself good enough to be a good mayor?
Hell I purposely didn't post a mayoral election because I decided it wouldn't be beneficial for town when there are vets who are much better than me This is what your previous post got me thinking. I did the same thing, because I knew I wouldn't be as good as many other players in the game. Dammit... I was finally feeling reasonably sure about something, and now I'm unsure what to think again.

I believe he is over all null, along with his candidacy. He is hard to read because he doesn't have great reads.
However, I think a Toad red flip would actually make vivax green

While alignments change from game to game is it actually plausible to you that: Vivax is: "really unskilled noob at mafia. " and that is the explanation for the posting that i have seen (although i am not sure it the same stuff you are reacting too as you did not say what that was it was left to my imagination...?) I am not sure i believe: that you think that a mafia player doing what Vivax has done is: not pro-town right now in any capacity It (several things I saw and commented on) did generate noise, when scum hunting activity was low. Indeed Oats seems to have misstepped as town in many eyes(inc mine) by interfering with it could you please clarify what you think was "either bright red or a really, really unskilled noob at mafia." also I dont understand how you cannot have read on Vivax's mafia skill level that would let you... for yourself distinguish those. it feels like an invitation for me to fall into a false confirmation bias from you presenting a knowingly false dichotomy. I could always be wrong about your skill level though. i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, except for this part: "could you please clarify what you think was "either bright red or a really, really unskilled noob at mafia."" and for the answer to that part, you should read the post i make directly above my conclusion post. Anul considering Vivaxs meta do you believe it is a truthful possibility that Vivax is "really unskilled noob at mafia." if that not the case why do you present it as an emotionally inflammatory alternative. Your other option is "vivax is either bright red" Is this is a false dichotomy, are they really in your eyes the only two options? You also say "not pro-town right now in any capacity" This Presume goes with "really unskilled noob at mafia." as you appear to be saying the only way for player to be so not pro-town is to be a really unskilled noob. If that is not false dichotomy, would you please explain how you regard so many players who flipped town in LVIII who were not "really unskilled noob at mafia." to appear "not pro-town right now in any capacity" in hindsight.
i have no idea what his meta is. i do not place stock in "metas" unlike most people here. whether someone is an unskilled noob has nothing to do with someone's "meta" per se.
as to your direct question, "do you believe it is a truthful possibility that Vivax is "really unskilled noob at mafia,"" the answer is obviously "yes" or i would not have said it.
you ask me "Is this is a false dichotomy, are they really in your eyes the only two options?" and to this i say "these are my reads." i have made incorrect reads in the past, sure. so, there are really three options: 1. bright red; 2. he's a mega noob; 3. my reads are wrong today. i tend not to play this game assuming #3, though.
"as you appear to be saying the only way for player to be so not pro-town is to be a really unskilled noob." -- no, you can be "not-pro-town" by being a mafia, too. hence why i phrased it this way: mafia or meganoob.
i did not play in nor read 58 and even if i did, i do not place ANY value on metas whatsoever. i understand i am in the minority with this.

If he's town, he won't be killed and be of great use.
If he's scum, he won't be able to hide it for long in that position.
Don't choose based on some mood. Even if sandro doesn't want it, a good town should want him in that position.
I don't like austin, I don't like gonzaw. Clarity didn't post his reads and he's usually not the guy who wants to take the lead. Voting Chezinu, are you fucking kidding me?Oatsmaster? Nah. Vivax wtf kind of post is this? Vote for a guy who doesn't want to be mayor, with really shitty "if he's scum" logic. There's never a good reason to give a free lynch to a player you don't have a really good town read on. You're proposing to trade the office of mayor, with the protection and the powerful synergy with mason roles, for a read on a single player that can easily be ascertained otherwise. Why do you seem to care so little for who becomes mayor if it isn't you? You "don't like" Austin or gonzaw, but you don't say why. You seem ready to discredit Chezinu on a moment's notice, when I see him as a valid candidate. This is not constructive town posting, Vivax. You've done very little but worry about your own image so far this game and it's worrisome to me that you're reacting so negatively to people not wanting to elect you. Yes, Toad, this is totally me just saying Vivax doesn't think like me and is there for scum, you got me. I think I did a pretty good job equating what he's doing with this post to scum motives in posts in my filter, and you brushing it off as him not agreeing with me is retarded and a malicious misrepresentation. You're just trying to make me look bad and get me angry at the same time. Do you honestly think Vivax would be send out by his (supposedly) mafia team for a candacy as mayor? Do you honestly think Vivax would be so carefree as mafia to candidate for mayor and not post for the next *idk* bunch of hours? Don't you think Vivax would have been way to scared to candidate for mayor as mafia? Especially given his recent game as mafia that he, against all odds still won due to massive town modkills. Do you honestly think Vivax would be dropping a vote like that if he has multiple people in irc / QT / whatever to ask on who to vote? With that "reasoning" he provided? Sure it's bullshit, it's one of the most retarded posts I've seen in this game so far but do you really think he'd do that as mafia? Mafias think about what they're posting and while it might happen that they slip it is an incredibly far fetched assumption to believe team mafia would send out someone like vivax, who is a very new player, who isn't particularry known for being good as mafia + Show Spoiler [anecdote] +remember YANMN? He was busted on d2 or something like that and got 2 more spare days because we had debears claiming SK in the thread and modkills that made people think it's better to no-lynch once to get one more cycle in case Vivax SOMEHOW ended up flipping town to stay in the open, getting heat from everyone and do all that on purpose? You've got to be kidding me if you think those are mafiatreats. This is wrong. So wrong. Vivax had an extensive mayoral post written up before the game, as shown by how quickly he posted it after daypost. His mayoral election run is a null tell But the fact that he posted it so quickly after the game started is, to some people, indicative of his towniness. I agree with them. A scum player would likely wait to post, until after he's discussed it in the QT. I don't think it's 100%, but it has me leaning town for him, and nothing has particularly tipped him back to scum yet. Scum has nothing to risk from him running and everything to gain. He looks like he cares about town with it. Everyone will disregard him because he doesn't have good reads as town. As town, he cares about town. He wants to become mayor despite his reads
Actually No... just No "As town, he cares about town. He wants to become mayor despite his reads" What exactly does being mayor do to care for town if it is despite his reads. Caring for town means making things work out best for town not making sure you can play your own personal largest part in it.
The previous sentence yes that makes sense Any scum who cant win can safely throw their hat in the ring without consulting the rest of the team... "Scum has nothing to risk from him running and everything to gain. He looks like he cares about town with it. Everyone will disregard him because he doesn't have good reads as town."
Also that is an 2:17 or so in which to talk.

It comes down to wether or not you really think he'd have the balls to do what you're telling me he is doing as mafia, on purpose.

also, i want a short, 1-2 sentence tl;dr among everyone who voted fivetouch why you want him as mayor. i must have missed what prompted like 5 votes on him

Oh btw: Could we get an update on the votecount somewhere?

Gonzaw Im very close to handing you my vote for Mayor.
Overall I like the vibe I get when reading your filter. I think your approach has been reasonable, I don't agree with everything but that is also to be expected.
Before I hand over my vote, I would like to know
"Out of the current candidates with a fighting chance, who would be your choice for Sheriff?" (& why)
|
Gonzaw asked me to have a look @ Stutters695
In short: I don't like what I see. Austinmcc really said it all; theres nothing of substance in there.
The other concern is that he said he was catching up on the thread 15hrs ago, and hasn't commented since.
Stutters695 Who are you voting for mayor; and who do you want the mayor to lynch (i.e top scum read) & why.

Every post of his has this "I don't give a fuck" attitude.

I wouldn't mind lynching him, as I wouldn't mind lynching Stutters. Stutters hasn't shown up yet, specially with his "catching up" post; which doesn't make things any easier.
I'm still having trouble reading sandro, now that he came back he seems way too lazy, even for a scum sandro (as I remember from Liar Game).[/QUOTE]

Who is currently running for mayor other than the retards who want to lynch me?

do you have reads in textform or in form of colored names?

I was also asked to look into Oatsmaster
TL;DR: I would prefer to pursue other scum targets, but will accept Oatsmaster for the lynch. I still think people are "cherry picking" his filter to suit their interpretation though.
I had to read his filter about 4 times, because each time I kept changing my mind. My problems with Oats is that:
(1) He has really turned DOWN the [intentional]aggression. and really turned UP the [emotional] aggressoin. which is odd.. a null tell overall though (but with (2) and (3) gives me concern) (2) Most of his responses are when pressured, and when he does try to pressure the questions are lacking in quality.. having just played a game with Oats as town, I can see a stark contrast (we also MAJORLY butted heads that game) (3) He keeps asking others for scum reads, but is not providing his own.
Perhaps its due to the vet factor (i.e. trying to find his place in the scheme of things) I know I am a bit more reserved this game; if this was the case, point (3) would make sense due to lower confidence.. but (2) is still not explained and even (1) to a lesser extent is not explained To me Oatsmaster has not been obviously scummy in his play, but due to his changes in aggression from what I know familiarly of him, I am comfortable with his lynch - on the proviso of no better target.
In regards to cherry picking: the items raised for his scumminess is due to him wanting to run for mayor and defending JieXian.. personally I find both tells null.
(a)Fuck, I would love to be mayor but I have enough common sense to know I dont have the respect of the majority so don't see a point. perhaps Oats is the same, in fact I suspect he would be in that regard. So for me the tell is null.
(b)As for JieXian, I have already said this prior, I took fault with how Vivax approached his 'scum read' pressuring. I am not really sure why Oats copped heat and I didn't. I see this action as null as well, as its easy for scum to break up fights and stick up for others; but also beneficial to town to prevent mislynches etc.
