Now tell me, how does me wanting to kill someone I suspect of being 3P make me scum.

I just don't understand taking the meta approach when the far more likely scenario is that he's generic town, not worried about dying and knew he was a good enough player to win against a lurky scum. I don't know in these cases I tend to go with the most obvious choice, I've gotten burned too many times trying to over think it.
And Oats you were very vocal about Sylencia discussing 3p and how scummy that was. Where's that train of thought now?

Acro, I think you're mafia. While you had a scum read on Keir, you did absolutely nothing to get him lynched. Your platform this game was not lynching mafia, it was lynching Adam for being 3p. Something was insanely fishy about this from the beginning, like I thought, and I've found it.

His initial reaction to the duel is to pressure Adam. Here he argues against Adam's case on Keirathi and calls it "not convincing". To me, this would immediately imply that he is not apt for lynching Keirathi over Adam, which is an important thing to note in the timeline of events that Acro undertakes this game.

At the time it got my alarm bells ringing, but unless Keir's scumplay went completely down the shitter since GSL Open, all we can conclude from that is that he made a stupid opening post and then buggered off without ever contributing.
2. His pressure on Thrawn seems quite okay. Then again, Thrawn was pretty easy pickings. What I get from GSL Open is that scum Keirathi makes sensible cases on low-hanging fruits (Risen that game, on D1, in a similar situation to Thrawn here, if I understood what I read correctly). However, he is never around to scumhunt or update his read, so I have no clue whether he is trying to actually figure thrawn out, or just push a target for the sake of pushing.
3. His Adam read is the only really novel thing he has contributed to the thread.

As you can see, his inactivity completely prohibits me from drawing any conclusions about what he has done. However, what makes him scum is what he hasn't done.
So far the wishy washy both sides bit where I explain how his inactivity is screwing with my reads. The BEST indicator of scum Keirathi is the inactivity himself. There are 3 players who have played repeatedly with Keir: Iamp, Hapa and Marv.
Keir has played about a billion town games between GSL Open and now. I can imagine it must be really scary to be scum for the first time in ages and playing with 3 players who are very familiar with your playstyle. Intimidated, and maybe short on time, he is simply not posting his reads like he would as a townie.
I will call it the Sandroba defense, because Sandroba did the exact same thing in CT: rather than try to play the game, even when he was at risk of being lynched, he just disappeared out of the game. In that game, I wanted to give Sandroba the benefit of the doubt, because I argued inactivity, in and of itself, is not a scumtell. I was wrong. I learned my mistake. Keirathi signed up for the game, he has played plenty of games to know what is the time commitment required. He is simply not motivated to post. That makes him scum.
Kill it with fire. Kill them both with fire! Vote for the double lynch
Here he makes his case on Keirathi, but his conclusion is still not lynch Keir. It's lynch them both. It's mafia mentality, because while this is a semi-bus, he is in effect NOT taking a stance with the"double lynch" outcome, which is a decent one for himself. It both increases Keirathi's chances of survival and makes Acro look better for him to call Keir scum, but refuse to vote him for the reason that Adam is "Third Party" and should die as well. Especially since Adam was the vote leader for most of the day, and I was pushing him as mafia.

Double-lynching when one of the people dueled the other of his own volition is idiotic in this game. Anyone who is either not voting or is voting specifically for a double-lynch need to realize that they are relying completely on mafia being utterly retarded and not playing to their win condition in any way.
Oh, dafuq. What is it with you people and your lack of reading comprehensionAdam is an evil 3P who cares jack shit about the wellbeing of this town
Keirathi is evil scum who needs to die Both must die. I will duel the next person who asks for my reads on adam and keir, because I hereby declare a policy lynch on people not reading the thread.
Again, as if there was any question about his agenda, he gives it to us here in big and bold.

Beating a dead horse, but you get the point. I give him the townie option, lynch scum, but he refuses. It's almost too easy.

Inaction is the best action. He's not actively pushing Keir as mafia, he's pushing a double lynch, which he is completely okay with. While 1 for 1 trades favor town, the object of the game is to lynch mafia, not lynch people you think might be third party along with mafia. But does he even really want Keirathi to die, necessarily?
No, he doesn't. Amidst me pushing for an actual lynch and getting people to consolidate on Keir, we have Acro still pushing his double lynch theory, even though he supposedly thinks Keir is mafia. Why is this an undesirable outcome in Acro's mind? Isn't lynching mafia the point of the game? This all hinges on his "Adam is third party" thing which is complete bullshit. He has no reason to believe there exists a third party in the game. Look at his reply to Hapa here:

@Hapa: I agree with some of your reads and disagree with others, when I finish filtering I will decide what that entails. However, for the moment, what is Thrawn the 3P's wincon? You can't just posit that he's a 3P because he wanted multiple people dead, out of the blue. Why does that fit with a survivor wincon? Where is the KP from an SK? You have to explain how that works, because I just don't see it.
You state that me suggesting there's a 3P in Adam is bad play or scummy: what does offputting mean in that sentence?
Yet 5 lines down you are doing it yourself for thrawn. Explain.
He argues against Thrawn as 3p, because Hapa has no proof, yet this is the exact way he posited Adam was 3p. He had no proof, and just fit an idea of a POSSIBLE role, that he doesn't even know exists, to push his agenda of a double lynch.

He seems so utterly convinced of Adam being third party despite there being no proof, or anything beyond ONE impulsive duel of a person that actually did flip mafia. He's stuck with this theory because without it, it's absolutely clear that he was playing in a mafia favored way, with a mafia mentality.
So let me ask you this, do you really think Adam is third party? I don't.
Plus, talking about town in third person like that is totally a scum slip.

Today in Liquid, a stunning revelation was made. Different people have different approaches to the game. I know, this amazing story shocks us all, but we will just have to live with it.
You say that your explanation is the simplest explanation of the evidence. I say mine is. I say the evidence of Adam going batshit insane is not explained by Adam=town. You think it is. We disagree. So deal with it and stop being a giant douche about it.

We're cruising for a double lynch. I don't need to persuade anybody at the moment. Inaction is the best action. He's not actively pushing Keir as mafia, he's pushing a double lynch, which he is completely okay with. While 1 for 1 trades favor town, the object of the game is to lynch mafia, not lynch people you think might be third party along with mafia. But does he even really want Keirathi to die, necessarily? No, he doesn't. Amidst me pushing for an actual lynch and getting people to consolidate on Keir, we have Acro still pushing his double lynch theory, even though he supposedly thinks Keir is mafia. Why is this an undesirable outcome in Acro's mind? Isn't lynching mafia the point of the game? This all hinges on his "Adam is third party" thing which is complete bullshit. He has no reason to believe there exists a third party in the game. Look at his reply to Hapa here: Show nested quote +On February 28 2013 20:23 Acrofales wrote:
@Hapa: I agree with some of your reads and disagree with others, when I finish filtering I will decide what that entails. However, for the moment, what is Thrawn the 3P's wincon? You can't just posit that he's a 3P because he wanted multiple people dead, out of the blue. Why does that fit with a survivor wincon? Where is the KP from an SK? You have to explain how that works, because I just don't see it.
You state that me suggesting there's a 3P in Adam is bad play or scummy: what does offputting mean in that sentence?
Yet 5 lines down you are doing it yourself for thrawn. Explain. He argues against Thrawn as 3p, because Hapa has no proof, yet this is the exact way he posited Adam was 3p. He had no proof, and just fit an idea of a POSSIBLE role, that he doesn't even know exists, to push his agenda of a double lynch.

He's stuck with this theory because without it, it's absolutely clear that he was playing in a mafia favored way, with a mafia mentality. So let me ask you this, do you really think Adam is third party? I don't. Plus, talking about town in third person like that is totally a scum slip.
Zzzzzzz. Adam's case WASN'T convincing. Anyway, I didn't NEED convincing, because I already thought Keir was scum for being a completely useless lurker. Why do you think Keirathi's name is big bold and RED in this post:

I have managed to get some decent town reads, and some scumspects. The TowniesMarv: Marv seems to be pressuring and scumhunting. I have no reason to suspect him for now. Yamato: I didn't like his early stubbornness, but his reaction under pressure felt townie. He also seems engaged and trying to figure things out. Cora: the little fight with Yamato gave me a town read on him. His aggression and putting himself in the spotlight felt like his play from NMM 37. Dienosore: I liked his response under pressure and he's doing his maps. Basically the same as Marv: no real reason to suspect him just yet. Iamperfection: from what I can figure out he's playing to his town meta. Not entirely satisfied with that play, so slightly more cautious than the top 4, but basically green. Oatsmaster: same as Iamp.
The nullsZarepath: entered the thread a bit late, but had a decent entrance. I don't like the list post, though and there are too few conclusions. Need to see more. Alderan: entered the thread late. Case on Dieno is not enough either way. Snarfs: waiting for that excitement he promised. Adam: doesn't seem to be following his scum meta, but I disagree with his case on Dieno and that's the only real thing he has done this game.

The main problem I have with Acro's filter is he rarely comes to conclusions about who is scum. In general the longer his posts are, the less they actually say about his reads. He mostly argues with people and he either doesn't come to a conclusion on his read, or calls them town.

For the record, Hapa is still only one in a pool of players I think are probable scum. I haven't upgraded my read since my response to Marv. I am still in full-on analysis mode.

However, if you want my main scumread, it's not Hapa, it's you. Your first post was terrible and your play hasn't improved.

Yeah I think iamp's scum. I can't feel the townie thought process behind his posts and his explanations are short and dismissive. You seem to know him quite a bit better than I do. Please explain to me how this is different from when he's town? His town is similar to this game (i'm not familiar with his scum meta) but in this game, he doesn't really seem to be trying to contribute. He seems uncooperative. Also, I don't like how liberally he's been throwing out town reads, especially when those town reads are backed up by extremely simplistic explanations. An utter lack of effort has gone into this read. It's a meta case without bothering to actually consider Iamp's meta. 2. The stuff about me: /yawn.

In addition, there was no response to this post. It's possible he went afk as a townie, but it came only a few minutes after he asked me a question... Keirathi: Keirathi is a good town player. His play this game is pathetic. Hence he's scum. Hapa: Show nested quote +On February 25 2013 22:32 Acrofales wrote:
He *might* be scum, but it'll take a lot more for me to have anything more than a slight suspicion. The things that stand out:
1. His read on Iamp is a bit weird, because I found Iamp's playstyle fairly consistent throughout the game and the one post that suddenly made him have a town read instead of suspecting Iamp was just a continuation from his former playstyle.
2. His defense of Snarfs, because his "post seemed genuine and excited". I don't think anybody is taking offense to Snarfs first post, which I agree sounded genuine and excited. The problem is that if Snarfs was so excited to play, where is he? I would have expected Hapa to understand that and therefore this defense is strange.
But I don't agree with your point that missing the post by Iamp about Snarfs is scummy. Missing a post is just something that happens. Sylencia: lurking. His 4 posts are non-contributions. I agree with Cora's assessment of the difference between this game and NMM 37. However, him being a lurky newbie gives him a slight benefit of the doubt over Keirathi.
After Adam dueled him, Adam shot WAAAYYYY UP in my scumometer and because I know that Adam and Keirathi cannot both be scum, this caused Keir to drop down. Of COURSE I don't mention Keirathi when figuring out Adam, because there was nothing to say. Adam's case being unconvincing says NOTHING about Keirathi and maybe something about Adam.
That's the first part of your case. I haven't even read the rest yet, but I assume it's just as stupid. If I'm still alive tomorrow and need to address it further, I will.

Then tomorrow we lynch the active scum. I'll duel his ass.
i was completly ok with double lynch as well so i dont really see a problem
we should only worry about acro at endgame imo. He has shown no scum traits he is active he cares about the lynch that is not scummy and there is no way he should be the candidate tomorrow.

You called him scum with one line.
Not impressive.

Yamato, why do you want to kill the most active person day 2?
Like that doesnt really seem to be that weird of a play to me. Otherwise, there is nothing else that makes him scum
Alderan, Syl was talking about 3p WAY at the start of the game, after that adam has shown that he hasnt played to either of his previous metas. 3P is a logical explanation and YOU CAN CATCH 3P due to their play. Read dessert mafia where wbg catches sloosh day 1 as sk.
You are so out of the game right now, I think you are scum.

Oh, I really did. Toward the end there's no way I would have accepted an Adam only lynch. Keirathi only was okay, but I clearly cared enough to incessantly push for my own read, which was kill both a scum AND a third party.

But why jump the gun? If he's 3p then he's likely going to have to do something like that again, and when he does we can kill him.
Right now all I see is someone who's protown who made a really really dumb move. If he makes it again then I will concede the 3P role, if not and as long as he's acting pro town, there's no reason not to keep him around.
Right?
Right.

The result of Adam's action is a scum lynch.
Yet he's still pushing him as third party instead of overzealous town, like I've come to read him as.
What is his motivation to do this as town? Why is he stuck on the third party thing? It makes no fucking sense.
