Assume for a moment that ObiWan can be town, too. Why would scum want to lynch him over Navi when either choice doesn't hurt them at all.

Not completely sure yet. Damdred/batsnacks/ObiWan all seem like decent choices, but not especially great. I guess it kind of comes down to process of elimination since by now since I'm leaning town at least on Haru, Koshi, Teemursu, Chopin, rayn, GB, kush, Vivax. The rest are closer to null or even slightly scummy. I'd wager that most of the scum are among the rest.

This is the lawyer I suppose.
Xatalos argument is that Obi is more likely scum cause he feels the wagon didn't gain traction so easily over navi's. I'm saying that scum can still prefer another lynch over his even if he was town, and he can't just deduce that Obi is scum just based on him not being the preferred choice.

To make that argument you'd have to find compelling reasons why Navillus was a menace to mafia, which is a tricky proposition.

I think lynching into Damdred/batsnacks/ObiWan would quite likely result in 1-2 scum lynches.

Precisely, in a town vs town situation scum can do whatever the fuck they want, the less sense it makes from a scum perspective, the better for them.
So you can't say Obi is scummy just cause scum decided not to pile onto him instead of others, unless you can argue who of the others was a teammate they needed to save, and why Obi was the best choice.

But you just said they're not the greatest lynches and scum is more likely among the rest. The rest being your townreads - these three.

Koshi can look scummy during D1 as town so it's not usually a good time to lynch him. I'm generally active regardless of my alignment, and I become a (somewhat) valuable asset throughout the game as town and I tend to reveal myself more easily later on as scum (+leaving material to work with). Neither of us are ideal D1 lynches. so people who will reveal themselves early shouldn't be lynched D1 and people who won't reveal themselves early shouldn't be lynched D1?

Obi and temmursu what do you think of xatalos, damdred and kush? Asking questions is not scummy if you first provided your own opinion in the thread. It's called scumhunting.

Buy me stuff and maybe you'll get laid )) It's difficult for me to be clear, I realise I have some problems with it (particularly while talking in english), I'll be objective but if it's still unclear please tell me and I'll try to clarify it again. I don't say that it's best to automatically lynch everyone who I think is good scum. I actually say that, if anyone starts a phrase with "I think he's quite a good scum player", in a mafia game, I believe that the most unnatural conclusion will be "I'll have to wait to judge him". I believe that a townie will mostly pressure the good player so he can get a better analysis. Therefore, if at early day1 I start saying that someone is a good scum player, I will automatically vote for him, because (i) I can get more information from him and (ii) it's better to lynch a good scum player than a bad scum player, although this last argument is secondary and less optimal. Not what I'm saying in the last paragraph, also. I'm saying that if he has gut feelings, I'm almost sure damdred is not the only one. There are more mafias in the game. He shouldn't consider every other player scum, but why he is considering only damdred and noone else? He used a passive stance. He would say "I never played a game with this guy before" or "I need more time to read this one". Why picking damdred only? He doesn't get scum vibes from ANY other player? Do you understand what I mean? The feeling I got from his post was "I'll be as neutral as I can with every other player so I won't be the centre of attention and so people won't OMGUS me, but I'll pick someone to start a wagon and maybe get a mislynch. But I won't do that too hard, or people will turn against me day2. Maybe saying that I have gut feelings will lead someone to build a strong case against this townie". I write too much. Another issue I have with this damdred gut read is that it doesn't fit with his no-lynch reads. He put a bunch of people on a no-lynch list because those people don't give a strong indication of alignment on day 1. This means that he's looking for really strong scumreads. However, he's scumreading damdred for hardly anything. Doesn't make a lot of sense. The only issue I have with xatalos is how he is not putting any effort into trying to scumhunt, but decides to post a liszt post (hue) anyway. He blanket reads us who he never played before as 'not lynching/can lynch', which means nothing since this is everyone. However, his reads on damdred and va reeks of 'no effort', which is usually an indicator of scum trying to blend into town and yet post stuff. wtf do you expect a few hours into the game? ^this also seems weirdly defensive to me, . Defending him isn't scummy but doing so that early and to different people with similar reads just feels too sure that he's right. On top of that he really hasn't pushed much, he voted haru which was kind of an extension of his defense of xata then he put down a placeholder vote on palmer. In fact I just looked at his votes and he literally makes no attempt to explain why he unvoted haru, trying to pull that vote off to a non-vote is really weird to me. None of this seems like serious efforts to find scum. So ##Vote: kushm4sta 1) Doesn't try to hide in this post. 2) Give his reads/thoughts freely on the game. ___________________________________________________ So why is Navillus not a good lynch: 1) He isn't hiding. 2) He gave his opinion on EVERYBODY and is actively playing. tldr: you all suck. Navillus is town.

This is where it all started. Here do you see why I am actually gold in this game and why Vivax is trash or scum. Somewhere you would like to think Vivax wouldn't be so obnoxious right? And I keep telling you people that Vivax is a liar this game. I already gave you 3 examples. If you didn't read them, look them up. Or take my word. I don't know if he does this as town but it isn't very townie. The last point on why Vivax is scum is that he tries to trap me into saying things that prove me scum. Now this could be comming from a townie, it also sounds pretty townie to do it, but I can just feel it in my bones that it is not coming from a townie and that the true intention is to let me say something I don't want to say. It is not a trap that a scummer would fall in. It is the kind of trap that is sneaky and let's you say something that you as townie clearly aren't thinking and therefore shouldn't say. I feel like Vivax knows this while asking these trap questions. It is hard to explain. Again, can it be that town Vivax plays like this? Maybe, but I doubt it. And maybe my 4th and last point is that I know that Vivax is wrong about me. And on top of that Teemu and I are connecting so fucking hard that I can only see him be wrong on him as well. Also, so many people see that I am obvious town, why is Vivax not accepting this? Why does somebody like Vivax thinks two scummers are just pushing him like this? It just feels all to wrong to me. Too wrong to be town Vivax. Oh, and a really last point. He says so much dumb shit. My eyebrows went up with at least 5 posts of him. Maybe more. Like not this guy is town and he said something dumb. More like: "I can't believe Vivax is town and makes this post." I will end all this with me acknowledging Vivax has a big filter and that that can be used to argument he isn't scum.
Tldr: Why Koshi is town, and has been pushing Vivax: Koshi activilly tried to steer town away from a Navillus lynch. Vivax bashes him for it. Koshi votes Vivax and never let's go. Then some other stuff happened.
But Navillus the obvious townie got lynched anyway. And Sentinel alone is to blame. I am 100% sure I would have gotten Obiwan lynched if I couldn't get more votes on Vivax within the first 10 minutes of the 20 minutes stolen from us by the host. I don't care how many votes Navillus in the end had. I tell you with 100% certainty he would not be lynched with 20 more minutes. No, I am 80% certain. It all kinda depends on how scum marv is and on how town Obiwan is I think.
I will not scream that Vivax or anybody else is confirmed town anymore by actions by this host. But let it be known that the host lynched Navillus and that he is responsible for denieing the information of a Vivax/Obiwan vote switch. I now completely calmed down. I have never been so mad in this game as I was after that lynch yesterday. I must say that I somewhere respect and am thankful to Sentinel for not modkilling me. I think I might go look for a selfban endgame. But the blind rage I felt after the lynch. And it kept going on till I went to bed. I never felt it before. Pretty epic experience now that I look back on it.
Now this game is tainted for me. Just like Noire was tainted. I still have this superupset feeling so maybe I can still care in this game. Maybe I will get shot. If scum has mercy on my soul. I am changing my TL meta from this moment on and I will try avoid making conversation posts or as I call them "game evolving posts" in the future. So don't expect small posts anymore. I might also not reply to Vivax if he keeps his shitty line of questioning up. Look at how he greeted me today. Oh well. I can't be too mad about that because I did push him like a maniac yesterday.
Vivax/VA/Xatalos/Obiwan/batsnacks If I could shoot 5 now I think those are the ones. marv alignment can be seen after N1 or for sure after N2 simply by the fact he lynched scum and is alive. If it is D3 and marv is alive and never lynched scum. Just lynch him please. CR I simply can't read. I don't know why. Damdred is null but I can see him being town. Palmar is Palmar but I can see him being town.
Somewhere if I really had to pick 3 Vivax/VA/batsnacks I don't know why these 3.

EBWOP. Total players - your townreads - these three.

I'm not sure if I follow. Isn't it pretty natural that the scumteam would be happy to vote for me/Navillus but not for ObiWan if he, indeed, was scum?

Again, even if he was town he wouldn't be the best choice, or fuck knows what scum chooses to do. Yes, they wouldn't vote him if he was scum, they also wouldn't vote him if he was a shitty looking townie.

I'm not saying mafia preferred navi over Obi, that's what Xata is saying in the argumentation for Obi being scummy. So it should be directed at him.
