Koshi would have been a prime target for medics/protective roles last night. By claiming to track someone to Koshi, but not giving a name, you encourage anyone who did so to out themselves. If no one claims, no harm, you're already in deep shit anyway. | ||

Let me expound: On July 11 2014 00:25 mderg wrote: You forgot VE. He was on ObiWanShinobi, right? Then I´m not sure about him anymore. Not impossible that they´re scumbuddies but unlikely. Context: D2 (pg 94~95), Vivax asks mderg to clarify his scumreads. Additionally he asks if mderg still scumreads yamato (presumably asking about mderg's interpretation of the Obiwan flip). Mderg responds "you forgot VE". As in, "VE is still a scumread". Then he says of yamato, "he was on ObiWanShinobi, right?", and then retracts his scumread on yamato based on his voting of ObiWan and the unlikelyhood of a bus. Checkpoint: At this post, mderg knows that ObiWan flipped scum. I say this because he is doing this slow reading thing, and it's not at all clear where he is and while really annoying, it's something to consider. He has read the D2 daypost and knows ObiWan flipped scum. The way the phrasing happens, mderg is recalling from memory the D1 stuff. "yamato was on Obi right?" Night 1, p90: On July 10 2014 08:44 mderg wrote: This looks really bad to me. Considering how convinced you were of me being scum this unvote was surprisingly easy. I also can´t really grasp your reasons for voting ObiWanShinobi. I think you mentioned him 1 time before that vote and that mention didn´t look like a scumread to me. So you decide to change your vote from your biggest scumread to someone who somehow is an equally good lynch. There is a lack of explanation and it doesn´t make you look very townie. mderg's scumread on VE is precisely because VE moved his vote off him (mderg) onto Obiwan. So mderg knows that VE voted ObiWan. Yet when he reconsiders yamato as potential town for being on ObiWan, he does not mention VE at all! The read that should have changed first doesn't change! What's my point? mderg is scum because he is inconsistent. The information he holds and the way he interprets it is inconsistent with his reads. Town don't do that. Scum do that. ##Vote: mderg | ||

Why would a blue out themselves before BM claims anything? | ||

You should know this by now. Anyway your case on mderg seems pretty ticky-tacky. It's not all clear from what you quoted whether mderg was still expressing a mafia read on VE then or whether mderg was saying that Vivax had forgotten that mderg had expressed a previous mafia read on VE. | ||

Garbo soft defense HiroPro, it's pretty clear that Vivax asked him for current scum reads (hence his use of the present tense), Try again. | ||

Do you have any town explanation for BM's behavior? | ||

But I think you're seriously mistaken if you think that shows anything, especially when he's not a native english speaker. Do you have any town explanation for BM's behavior? *Soft defends mderg multiple times* "he should be the one talking about himself" *defends him again in the same post* And yes I have reasons to believe BM is more likely town than scum, but that is independent of mderg's alignment. | ||

You can argue that it's wrong and stupid but it doesn't change the fact that sometimes town lie. Sometimes for baits, sometimes cause they just forget, sometimes for other reasons. Ver says it himself in how to improve: On August 26 2010 13:08 Ver wrote: Also, this is a good point to address the misconception that 'lying=mafia,' which is clearly not the case. I lie all the time as town, and much more rarely as mafia. Some may condemn this as inferior play, but lying, among other 'anti-town plays,' lets you open new routes of play that are ordinarily inaccessible if you behave as a 'perfect townie.' Most of the time you have to take a risk if you want to win. Of course the execution is everything, as lying for no gain is just going to make it harder for the town to do anything. And of course, many town players will lie on accident, without reason, or for some bizarre reason or another that you have no way of knowing. A point that will be emphasized continuously is the necessity to differentiate between mafia and bad townie play. You can't just lynch people and when they pop green excuse yourself by saying 'oh they were anti-town anyways.' The goal is to kill mafia, period. So I don't see him claiming to be roleblocked alignment indicative, since it could have town motivations or scum motivations. I think it is unlikely that BM is scum because ObiWanShinobi's one scum read was BM. I really doubt that the one actual read that scum holds among all null reads is on a teammate, especially when you don't anticipate your death. As for Damdred, I'm more hesitant of the lynch because he came from a different site where playstyles and habits and whatnot might just straight up be different. I agree he is laidback and doesn't have strong convictions, but I could see town doing that too. | ||

I agree he is laidback and doesn't have strong convictions, but I could see town doing that too. townies don't lie for no reason. you can't play this game if you think townies lie about random things for no reason. then every single case is dismissable on the grounds that "he's just doing whatever". when townies lie they think "hey, if i say this and that something might come of it" but that's absolutely not what bill murray is doing right now. he just said something because he thought he would get town cred or spread chaos or whatever and then he said some more shit about a claim and then he left because "fuck this". obiwan did indeed point his finger at bm but not really. he didn't vote for him or anything, it was really just an offhand remark and then a slight followup because of something BM happened to say to him to him. i wouldn't draw any conclusions from that. | ||
