yeah you're probably right, he spelled "defence" with a "c" and only Europeans do that.
It's either Palmar or syllo :p and syllo hasn't played recently afaik.
JieXian is not around because he went to sleep (he's from Malaysia from what I remember). What do you make of him taking the stance against Austin's opinion of stutters? He chose to post these:

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 Show nested quote +On January 21 2013 15:43 debears wrote: Gonzaw
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 So is running for mayor as a townie who knows he's bad actually a townie sign or not? You can't seem to make up your mind >_> I can't decide between gonzaw and Fivetouch as mayor for now.
When as scum I would expect him to not care about what Austin was saying about stutters. Only a handful of players chose to comment on this stuff, and I saw them all as town.

It's obvious I won't be mayor now (it's like 5 hours until deadline right?), so I'm okay with the sheriff position.
austin seems likely town as well, and posts his thought process and explanations, and he'd be a good player to have protection from BGs as well, wouldn't mind him being sheriff either. Wouldn't mind Toad being sheriff either, but yeah those successive votes on him seem weird.
I'm surprised Clarity hasn't shown up at all. Must be an IRL issue I take it, he wouldn't lurk this bad even as scum.
If Fivetouch is to be mayor, I'd like him to tell us exactly what makes prplhz more likely to be scum than Oats.
Some of the reasoning behind his prplhz case seems like grasping at straws. The "he was against policy lynches before and now he wanted to 'policy lynch' chezinu" is not alignment indicative in my mind, few townies have the same exact thoughts in every game. I know I changed my mind about lots of things in different games, and I wouldn't expect that to be used either for or against me. Although it's true prplhz hasn't done much though. I don't know why he wants to vote me since the game started, but hasn't even voted me nor really shown. prplhz hasn't done much in contributing and seemed to be defending himself more, but for me his lynch right now is like a shot in the dark mostly because of that. I can see him flipping town, if he has to spend time defending himself instead of contributing.
Oats has posted more than him, and has contributed less in my mind. His attitude does not show a town mentality. He spends most of his time discrediting people in a needless aggressive way. He also OMGUSed me back there for like no reason at all, I'll have to check that again.
I'd be happy with Five being mayor if he lynched Oats (likely what I'd do if I was mayor), and of course spends the rest of the game leading town, posting his thought process, being open/transparent, etc.
I'll have to check again some of the stuff said about Stutters, but he can easily be scum as well. Dunno if I'd lynch him before Oats though, but if both are scum it doesn't really matter, but I'm leaning on lynching Oats this D1.
I'll respond to questions I've skimmed later.

There are questions directed at you in my filter that you still have to answer. I don't care if you think I'm town, I'm not voting for you. And I know you won't be voting for me.
Care to point out the ones I haven't indirectly responded yet? (like the "oh who would you lynch bla bla bal?" ones).

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)
austin and Toad, and me obviously. Like some have said, the sheriff role seems perfect for people we want to protect and are likely town and scum would want to kill them (at least after I read that when skimming the thread )
I'm feeling confident in Toad being town, and austin seems likely town as well. The way they drive discussion and post their suspicions is "good for town" as well, in the sense that it creates a good town atmosphere and the like and all that shit (in contrast with what Vivax is doing for instance). I prefer having that kind of play around and not being able to be killed by scum, because that's the kind of play scum usually want to kill early (I doubt scum will kill Vivax soon, even if he's town).
I guess I wouldn't mind maybe wbg in that position, seems active in discussions and driving town forward, but I'm not confident in reading him correctly right now, although leaning town.

Are you serious Oats? You cast doubt on me, only to conclude with "yeah so, like I've posted lots of things that make me suspicious of gonzaw, but I don't think he's scum!". Why the hell would you do that other than just needlessly discrediting me, and also a blatant OMGUS?
I dont see the point as town, as scum, you look like you are gonna do stuff but if no one calls you out for it, easy stuff to do.
I'm just being transparent that's all. This thread seems to be moving fast, so by the time I start reading it to the time I have something to post it can pass 1 hour or so. It also indicates that I'm here reading if someone wants to ask me a question or if something happens I can provide a little snip about.
I would say trolling with your votes and reads is a scum read because it shows that you dont really care about who gets voted and you dont really care about who is scum, but apparently Gonzaw doesnt think so
Dunno what that has to do with me "leaning red". Yes, trolling indicates that you don't give much of a shit about the game, but in the case of some players that's not necessarily a scum treat, since those guys seem to play like that as town as well for shits and giggles or something.
But what does this have to do with anything? You start seemingly accusing me of being scum because of me pointing out I'm reading shit, then you come up with this stuff that's unrelated to my alignment, and then you say you don't even think I'm scum, even though that seems like what the purpose of your post was.
You OMGUS me, then you retract it....for what purpose? I don't see town motivation behind that either

I'll have to reread Jiexian too, haven't really got any "super town vibes" from his posts so far, even if he seemed to be sporadically posting.
I'm unsure about mokuba. His posts seem like the quintessential noob post, with just mildly talking about stuff, not being engaged in anything or taking any strong stance, and heavily use of smileys. But meh...I'm not sure. His posts don't scream scum nor town, he's just blending in like a newbie (town or scum).

Great every time I post I seem to kill the thread. I remember like 2-3 pages of new posts coming up since I started reading the thread.
wbg, sandro, you there?
Also, Five is Palmar? My gut kind of tells me he isn't, he's not in your face enough. Seems more likely to be syllo to me...or maybe it's Fourface trying to fool us all

you post massive walls of nothing more than summaries of players and then your conclusions are this:

Your two posts before that could have been condensed like this one was, but instead you go on for a page or so about stuff that either you have already mentioned, or can be summarized much more succinctly and easily.
Your opinions aren't much more than direct readings from the players' posts, so I don't understand what kind of response you expect. Or, they're talk about how you need to reread their posts.

yeah thought about him being Syllo as well.
Gonzaw vote me! You know it's the right thing to do :p

Looks like four people haven't voted yet.
Did you know that if you vote for me, you won't get modkilled!

what if I post something that makes me almost certainly town for everyone and also a damn good candidate for being sheriff. Should I do that and would people be voting me if I did it?

I don't want to discourage you and I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with what you are doing, there's just nothing much to respond to when your reads aren't much more than direct readings of players's posts. It's good that you are reading, but you don't have to comment on every little thing.
I personally think it's far more fruitful to actually substantiate reads with concrete reasoning. For example, why do you have the feeling that prplhz is town? Sure, everyone has that "feeling" that a player might just be town, having a bad game, whatever, based on past games or preconceived notions of play or whatever, really. Those are simply opinions, and everyone has them. Opinions can be wrong. If you have facts and actual evidence to substantiate your opinions, then people are more likely to put weight behind them. Otherwise, it's just another subjective opinion that has no more weight than the opinion of anyone else.

I think JieXian is town tbh

Are you basing your mayoral vote on...who is easiest to read?
Also, I'm concerned about the "Toad's style feels like my own" --> "that will help us analyze what he does" bit.
A lot of your defense to my suspicions of you revolved around people not reading you properly or you always getting called out/suspected for certain things.
On January 22 2013 03:45 Stutters695 wrote: Well I was reading in order, didn't see Austin's more recent posts.
1) I get accused of that every game. Falls back to the I suck d1 stuff. Up to you if you believe it, but it happened in YANMM and Whose Line.
2) Weird if you're experienced maybe, but to me I wasn't sure how often a mayor mislynch happens because the first posts in that matter made it seem like an eventuality rather than a possibility. My thinking was that people probably have discussed this in past games and it still resulted in a mayor mislynch. Thus I was asking if using the mayor to force reads out of someone hard to read makes sense. I felt Toad answered it well in the ensuing discussion so I felt no.need to follow it up.
3) You said in the previous post I quoted that I keep the thread informed and come back with actual thoughts. That's true sometimes, but I don't always see something to immediately follow up on. This happened in pretty much every game I play. Again people have attacked me for this.
4)I have a detailed post on this in YANMM but I believe that full disclosure (unless there is some gambit like Proms in the same game) is the best course of action. So when you ask me something and I say "yes, but" you're going to hear why I did it. You may think the reason for a particular instance may be scummy but over the course of the game it will show a clear town mindset and show how I reasoned whatever conclusion I come to. If you think that you play a poor D1, and think that people attack you for stuff you do every game, then why would you want a mayor whose play you find similar to yours? If people actually suspect you every game, doesn't that indicate that you're easy to misread, and that a player similar to you as mayor would NOT be easy to analyze?
