@syllo I'll stick around. I read WeWinMafia's filter thinking he is toad and I think it's very likely he is scum.

it's 100% toad. I didn't think of lynching him yet, because he's just a cool guy :D
but now you're pointing it out... His play seems to be kind of suspicious... But as far as I know it's his first time smurfing and I think I might want to give him another day...
I'll think about it...

His conversations with marvel seem somewhat genuine, in that if marvel is mafia, toad is slightly less likely to be. I'm up for lynching him though, due to what I said earlier and him posting quite a bit without the content being in any way useful.

His last post seems honest so I'm hoping he is town and was unmotivated now.

Btw yamato wagon, despite meeting very little resistance, could very well be right too, he is doing very little compared to what I've seen from him in his past town games. @Yamato if you are town this game you need to step up, because from the game we played together I know you can be way more useful than this.

In short, I am for a vote today. Also, it's good to be working together with Golden again! For Liquidia!
Is this day cycle going to be an extra couple of hours? I only ask because it was in my first game and I'd like to make sure what the situation is. Thanks You say that you are for a vote, but you state that your other vote was luck based. Considering you said "very luck based", doesn't that mean to say that we are not going to experience the same luck? If we don't experience the same luck, we will very much end up lynching a townie, which makes your "for a vote" seem like you want to lynch a townie. Also, why are you talking about the last game? You should be more concerned with this game and find out ways for pointing out scum rather than ways not to. This seems more like filler. The useful part of your post can be summarized by: We should have a lynch today. A no-lynch would be detrimental. ##FOS: Mordanis Fairly similar to his attack on kush this game.
2nd game Town, he spends most of the game tunneling grush. Way more 1-liners, inconclusive to the current situation
3rd game Vig, he gets in my face pretty early, but generally tried to keep talking. Also cited activity issues due to school?

On a more serious note, we want this ship rollin' as fast as possible. Discussing policy is not scumhunting but it does at least help us get the discussion going. First off, something we want to avoid as town is Vanillas claiming blue roles. In both my last game and Newbie Mini Mafia XVIII there were Vanillas who claimed blue roles(DTs). Both times town ended in an bad spot (although not as bad as it could've been due to luck). But this should still be avoided at all costs as it can cause massive damage to town. Why? Well let's say a vanilla townie claims DT, and then the real DT claims because the vanilla is lying. As it doesn't make sense for vanillas to claim blue roles, we must assume that one of theese players is scum and the other one is the real DT.Two following scenarios can occur here 1). The townie gets lynched. which means that the other person is probebly the real DT, this must however not be true. 2). The DT gets lynched, which means that the vanilla townie will 100% get lynched the next day. While 2 is far worse than 1 they are still both very bad for town. There really isn't a situation you want to fakeclaim as a townie. If you don't agree with this please let me know. If noone disagrees I will assume that no townie is ever fake claiming a blue role. Obviously there are situations where you might want to claim as blue.
I will also copy a part of my first post from my last game(where I was DT) since I am lazy.
Regarding lynches: I really really dislike nolynching for three reasons. 1. because the information that we are able to get out of it is very limited. Yes, we avoid a potential misslynch but on the other hand scum will score a more or less a free-kill during night. Essentially, we are back on D1 but this time we are in a 6-2 instead of a 7-2. 2. If we agree to nolynch then what is there to discuss? It's like asking for people to lurk even more. 3. With no vigilante in the game the only way we can win is to lynch scum. Kinda obvious but still. We require 5+ votes in order to get a lynch done. With that in mind I hope that people are willing to vote for someone who isn't their top 1 scum. Obviously, if you REALLY don't think there is any chance that the person that is about to be lynched can be scum, then sure, don't vote him. But if it seems like your target hardly gets any votes and your second highest scumread is at 4 votes with 30 minutes untill deadline, then I think you should swap your vote onto him.
Lurkers!: There are two types of lurkers. The ones who doesn't post anything and the sneaky ones, who posts ALOT but nothing of value. The first category could either be bad town play or scum play. But the second category is almost exclusivly scum play. If you are a townie, speak your mind, don't make a super duper long post when you could've said it on just a few lines. Keep it simple. With that being said, post!
Ignoring the copy-pasted policy stuff for now, Why on earth did you even post that scenario stuff about a VT fake-claiming a DT or blue? There was absolutely no indication that anyone had even planned on that (especially considering you had the first post). If anything, you have just shown people something they can do (to the detriment of the town). And why go through the casework? It's just fluff and you know it. This is very much a post looking like a contribution, while being a non-contribution, or even an anti-contribution. Im pretty sure, again, that no one was even remotely close to voting in a way to force a nolynch. I love the bolded line; you could have kept this post simple and concise. But you decided to make it "super-duper long." ##vote: LazermonkeyYourharry, you should do more than OMGUS. You are definitely rivaling, for scumminess, against lazer. Fos: yourharry Fos: lazermonkey Keep in mind, he's already spent a game tunneling grush, from what I can tell, it was related to fake-claims. Opens with hostility and a vote.
To be fair, I don't think he's ever rolled scum, but his jumping out of the gate fighting looks like hes town yet again. He's never played with kush before. He also explained that he expects people to NOT derp all over the thread when they post here: + Show Spoiler +On November 01 2012 10:09 Release wrote:Show nested quote +On November 01 2012 09:05 kushm4sta wrote:On November 01 2012 09:01 Release wrote: EBWOP: those are three separate ideas, although kushmasta is looking scummy for both trying to change who should claim and being deceitful about it.

I think they should probably both claim actually. @releaseAre you suggesting that I'm trying to trick power roles like vig, dt, etc into mass claiming? Are millers' true alignment revealed upon death? well, you were assigning Mason traits to the miller, which led to the confusion that it did between who should claim. Also, you didn't mention mason but the "town who can talk to each other." You avoided saying mason. Mason is clear. "town who can talk to each other" could be mason, but could be miller if someone assumed you were talking about who YOU thought "could talk to each other." Mafia is a game in which posts can't be editted. People tend to check their posts for any dubious or tentative information. I highly doubt that you "mixed up" their names because things like that tend to get checked, which leads me to believe you said such things on purpose.I wasn't talking about the mass claim. That was rather obvious. (seebolded) Sadly, kush is unable to meet that requirement. My "meta" read is that this strong aggression is in fact representative of town release. Keeping in mind that there are no scum games to compare with, I'm not willing to vote Release for his posts against kush. i also agree with this from Zealos: Show nested quote +On November 02 2012 01:41 Zealos wrote: --SNIP-- That being said, I do think releases later posts have a townie attitude about them.

I think I have a handle on this mason claim shitfest. I'm rereading this through more carefully because I just kind of glanced the thread over, but I think I'm going to be voting Muso in a moment.
As you can see, he took the time to research a whole bunch of Release's games, providing commentary on all of them. Therefore in Hopeless' case, I believe sandroba's reasoning to be false.
Anyway, it's been pointed out before, this is a complete over-reaction:

Since when are random votes thrown out at the beginning of the game "scummy as fuck"? It happens in virtually every game, some random shit vote, and most of the time it comes from a townie. It's not a natural reaction to me.
Mostly the other thing I've picked up on is the way he constructs his posts. It's very careful in places. Here is his filter from Mario Mafia, where he was town: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=381440&user=123725¤tpage=All
Most of the language is casual. You won't find posts like this in that filter:

I also don't like your posts because they focus a lot on you and trying to find out what your image is. If you're town, you should be finding scum, not trying to find out how other people think about you. The post on WeWin I like though. Points out the same thing Risk.Nuke was doing; taking peopel posting for a laugh too serious. Considering both things you're null to me. I don't mind risk defending himself by calling himself bad scum because Zess didn't justify anything in either his vote or his followup. I personally read that as an attack against Zess, not a defense. I also disagree that Zess was strictly joking about it, as he still maintains that he kind of has reasons that he wont divulge.

I've highlighted everything in this post that I find uncharacteristic from a town Hopeless. It's all either careful or constructed. Here are two quotes from this game and another game, where he was mafia:

Okay, prplhz I agree with the concept of your idea, but what would you propose we do to get the game actually started. At some point we end up accusing lurkers or calling something/someone stupid if no one pulls a stupid case out of their ass. Or else, it'll be VERY weak reads based on making the littlest out to be scummy. Would that be okay with you?
Minor on its own, but it's the similarity of the kinda sarcastic asking for permission.
Anyway, here is his filter from ACME, where he was godfather: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=378069&user=123725¤tpage=All
I find the construction of his posts there far more similar to those here than from the Mario game where he was town. Generally speaking for this game alone, I find his early push on Zess over the top, his posts overly constructed, and then despite having 'pressured' Zessionar all game, drops it at the drop of the hat in order to drop a vote on easy target yamato. There's no explanation why Zessionar is now apparently not a good target. I think this guy is mafia.

I don't consider it likely that he was going to fake claim Sandroba no matter which alignment he rolled, in particular with me playing. It's difficult to assign a mafia or town motivation for that "i prepared a bunch of traits pregame so i can fake claim whomever" post, but the post doesn't seem to serve any discernable purpose. It feels to me like a post that he believes will be interpreted as towny, which could be a mafia motivation.
WeWinMafia if you are town, you should claim your identity because some of what I said above is only applicable if you are who I think you are. He interprets it as something that could have mafia motivation, but it might also not. Overall, a very noncommittal post which tries to feel out where other people are before committing to something. I'd expect him to pressure stronger if he was town so he could find the information to be sure. Looking at his meta though in games like iGrok's strange land he tends to like to ask questions, though I couldn't find his alignment in here because I'm dumb. In Chrono Trigger however, he posted a ton and had significantly less questions and seemed to be more willing to be assertive. He was leading the town, whereas now he's been sitting more in the background. He's sitting in the background too much, I don't like it.

Oh, and regarding ObviousOne: At that point, from the filters I had read I liked him the least. I'm not sure between Syllo and OO right now, both seem like good targets though I'd expect more from Syllo given his history, so I'm edging towards him. First going to read up on Toad though before I change votes three times this quickly.

hmm nothing really, as i said in my speedanalysis. I am not sure about him. I think he might be a lazy townie. I honestly got to reread him. In the meantime i went through toads filter... Well there are scummy parts but it's toad and toad is always a little bit scummy...
"But whatever, yes I'm talking out of my ass and Zess is apparently doing the same hoping we get some activity here somehow. Won't keep on pretending like anyone is interested in talking if noone is..."
If he's scum, these kind of statements make perfect sense, since I am town. Scum wants to connect their actions to townies... I don't think you do that on purpose if you're scum, but i think you kind of have the urge to try to approximate your playstyle to the playstyle of a townie...

I observed Acme closely, and I played with him in Mario, and I've played several other games with him before. Your dismissal is unwarranted.

No he's right. What he's saying makes perfect sense... I asked you to give some more reasoning for your vote on jiro (was that hiro? i believe so) when he voted yamato for no reason.
I didn't think about it back then, but syllo hit the nail right on the head.
You look so confident that yamato is town, that you don't even try to question yamato before you "counter-vote" hiros vote. You know what i am saying... that's pretty scummy of you btw :D
