Gracks KSC vote was clearly a joke at the very start of the game.
When Silent came back and was a potential lynch target, he had to come out somewhat strong (regardless of alignment) and I was certainly an easy choice to pump something out on.
The last vote by silent was to save himself so of course he'd pick the other wagon.
Thing is I was scumfeeling both of them in my very first set of reads. I was back and forth on them quite a bit, especially after engaging with Grack for a bit, but never entirely convinced of innocence.
That voting pattern has a hell of a kick to it though.
I should go to bed in any case and sit down and calmly work through my full analysis tomorrow. Its 4am and my mind is all over the place.

Not much came from it. Skynx said Silentwarrior was suspicious and Mderg reaffirmed his suspicion. Right now I'm kind of inclined to lynch Mderg just because I think the three people he has pushed so far (Silentwarrior, Lunatic, scott) have been the townier people in the thread, and he has pushed suspicion on two of them and tried to policy lynch the third. This post bothers me. At best this is lazy scumhunting when he should know better.

He might be scum but your points are a stretch, it'll become more apparent in time and I'm not convinced enough to lynch him over someone who is barely posting when that's half the game. We have two players with long filters for this game skynx/Luna voting for somebody afk. We have a bunch of other people who have posted close to nothing worth commenting on. With this in mind, how exactly is your push on me not completely horrible? Now add in the fact that you are unwilling to contribute anything else besides this. Why shouldn't I vote you? I was going to write something on Lunatic but I'm going to go reread the start of his filter from the last game first. I'm done with pushing you until after the lynch. Downside to missing most of d1 and not having the time to throw up a large post from mobile. If you missed most of day1 why would you push me like this? If I missed most of day 1 I'd at least show some caution with my reads rather than barge in with a 75% certain scum read like you did. Neither of us are getting lynched today, so let's focus on determining who is the best lynch. We have one hour until the lynch. I don't doubt my read, but I don't have the thread presence to make this happen. What did you think about silent's return post and voting for me? I'm already voted for Mderg. Silent's post looks fine to me, what's your issue with it? It shows either a general lack of disinterest(not following along) or an inability to make actual reads. 1) blatant misunderstanding/misrepresentation in his case on me. 2) his point on Scott again shows how little attention he is actually paying. He didn't immediately accuse 4 people of being scum, he said he'd expect to find scum on the wagon and would thus look into them. 3) his scum reads don't show a lot of thought in them while his town reads do. When I first rolled mafia it was incredibly hard to give scum reads with any sort of genuine belief when you know they're town. Bussing and town reads are much easier to give. I'm getting those vibes hard from his comeback post and his lynch gives much more info than a lynch on mderg. I reread him and I don't really agree with your conclusion. 1)He's voting you because he thought your case on me was weak and he didn't like that you voted him when you had never mentioned him before. I don't see the misrepresentation. 2) it's not a bad post really. Scott did kind of did accuse all 4 at the start and then choose which one was the scummiest from the four. I think it is at least worth considering. 3) For day 1, I think that's what I would expect. I think the first coaching advice I ever got was that if you're just able to leave day 1 with some strong town reads you're in good shape. Day 1 lynches tend to be hit or miss and this game especially has been bleh. This post especially bothers me. He doesn't acknowledge the clear distinction between a plynch and normal vote which is especially odd considering I was his vote before sheeping Rels. Second point again is wrong. Just soft defending. Although I disagree, I can understand the third point as a difference in philosophy. I'd recommend reading Ver's analysis because what I'm accusing Silent of is strikingly similar to what Grack is doing. The post as a whole comes off as a soft defense of Silent, which looks bad with what happens after. Again to emphasize, he is not contributing to finding scum, but softing town reads and slight pushes for non-indicative things . One might even say it's subdued play. Not spoilering these because they're the most important. Show nested quote +On August 02 2016 07:35 Grackaroni wrote:On August 02 2016 06:03 Rels wrote: Scum team is very likely to be in this pool:

Pre-flip associations that accomplish nothing. It's also worth noting how he's just on board with a town Rels with essentially no doubt despite Rels just showing up. He does backtrack on the associations in his next post, rendering this null, but still a lack of any real contribution. With 3 minutes remaining, he finally accepts C and my argument that scum more than likely wouldn't vote how Mderg did, but he "waited too long for shennys" then apologizes to Mderg. It comes off as him being very worried of his appearance after the flip. This dude scum. I'll check his meta tomorrow, but to be frank, I don't think it's even needed. #234 Nothing to say. I probably jumped the gun and he really wouldn't care regardless. Doesn't matter now.
#237 Nothing to say here either.
I agree this post from me was probably a dumb idea from the get go since it's not going to convince anyone of anything. It was where I was at in the game and I've had a little bit of success finding mafia from pushing lynch bait before in a previous game.
I never really had a strong scum read to begin with on Mderg. I saw some post from him that I liked and that's why I dropped him originally.
This #358 thing I don't understand at all. Lunatic's reply to Celestial's post doesn't make me think he's looking for mafia at all. From what he's posted he has been really intent on trying to find out my alignment because he misread me last game, so if this was actually true, why did he ignore everything that Celestial posted on me? I still think the post was bad.
I started reading his filter but I'm super lazy. I wouldn't seriously push to lynch him without going over his filter because he can make some pretty questionable posts as town.
I think you're equally guilty of this one. You openly stated that you weren't going to push me because you didn't think you could lynch me.
This policy lynch/regular lynch thing is patently ridiculous. I'm responding to your post in which you are clearly pushing him as a mafia read, not a policy lynch.
I did soft defend SilentWarrior. That's what you do during a lynch. You give your preferences of the lynch targets and make a decision. That's not really scummy unless Silent Warrior is mafia, which you are assuming.
Pre-flip associations that seemed interesting to me. It did look a lot like one of you or celestial were squirming to save mderg since you both expressed some openness to lynch him with a preference for the alternative lynch. I'm not actually on board with Rels as town, just on board with sheeping Rels because I wasn't feeling solid in my reads.
I did wait too long for shenannies! If you wanted shennanies you should have started them earlier.
This guys town. No need to check meta because frankly he's the towniest guy in thread. Hijole!

But what? Moosy apparently spotted something on you and silent in the votes and drew attention to it and I wrote it down? What about it?
Also:

I brought up a possible shenanie target a solid 27 minutes before EoD.
I then again brought up the possibility of shenanies onto either myself or KSC thirteen minutes before EoD.
Stop trying to pretend that nobody had starting looking into it before it was too late when its easily proven to be a lie.
Nobody expressed real interest. In either. Until mderg said about it eight minutes before deadline. Both were with plenty of time for anyone to start saying "alright, I'd be up for that". I didn't start any actual movement myself because at that point I was sitting on the next-highest wagon in the hopes there was a chance to still save mderg.

Tinfoil hat theory.
Grack didn't want to shenanie onto KSC because they're scumteam together.
KSC/Grack/silent
Early votes thrown onto KSC were done deliberately sloppy to distance themselves from each other whilst not actually pushing a possible legitimate lynch. Despite the votes nobody really made any effort to pressure KSC or push him as a possible scum wagon which let him just be lazy and fly under the radar.
This is probably garbage because I'm just blurting stuff out at nearly 5am after too much wine and making a bunch of assumptions and literally not checking anything. But I felt like I needed to write it down somewhere.

My point is that if there had been a different wagon 3 minutes before the lynch perhaps I may have changed. I probably wouldn't have either way in all honesty.

This is utter nonsense. Because one is based on feelings and one is based off some cold, hard facts.
Your squirming theory was based on an unflipped association read between three people. All of whom, by your own pointing out, were on the same wagon (a damn risky thing for mafia to do, even to save one of their own, safest thing would have been to have one bus late on). And one of whom actually managed to hammer himself and is now confirmed town after being lynched. It had zero basis on any actual evidence and has been shown to be rubbish because mderg is confirmed to be not mafia.
On the other hand the thing Moosy pointed out (and I've detailed above) is based on actual, verifiable votes made. Not wild guesses based on future flips. It is a FACT that the two of you were consistently on votes with each other around the same time. It is also a FACT that silent consistently followed you onto the votes. I'm going to look through filters tomorrow properly to see the excuses given for the vote changes; but the fact that those events actually happened cannot be disputed and it looks dodgy as hell.

I guess scott/Grack/silent is also possible.
KSC votes were to try to do something to counteract the RB nonsense and give some kind of alternative wagon, especially if they expected a replacement given how things were going. Neither were ever on the RB/scott wagon at all despite it being a super easy plynch to make.
I'm kinda making wild guesses here now. My mind is seriously drifting off into all kinds of weird ideas. Very tired.

@Grack
I'll concede 358, that was a pretty convoluted point and honestly fairly inconsequential. Made more sense as I was typing it.
I didn't push your lynch because we had like an hour and a half until the lynch and I didn't have the clout to get it to go through. Last thing we needed was to shit up the thread more.
The plynch vs actual push is the crux of what's wrong with silent's vote on me. His return/vote on me was before I had him as anything other than a policy lynch. Of course I hadn't mentioned him because there was nothing to mention. He was mia and needed to post.
Yet, despite your admitted lack of trust in your own reads and your willingness to sheep someone of whom you had no idea their alignment, you defended Silent. Then when you apologized to mderg (implying at least a slight town read at that point) you could have switched to silent, which would have put him in the lead over mderg. Why not do that?
This doesn't add up.
