I'll get to this.Xastrn/Zen scumteam.
kkYes, I am pretty sure Sokr is town. I have a lot of tells in diction and phrasing, but a gameplay-related one was his paranoia of me being scum with soup when people started saying soup might be scum. In private, I had called soup a solid town read based on his interaction with you on page 1, and he agreed, but then when people brought up soupscum and made cases, he had doubts about not only soup, but me too. This fear that I might have been manipulating him is really townie.
How certain are you on Ryu town and please explain the reasons for that readWe can talk about this tomorrow short of Ryu unpairing with us today and then you jumping on if i understand the mechanic right.
I'd like to get more time with ryu sicne he's all busy and stuff, but technically from a purely "information gained standpoint", i've got a pretty good feel that ryu's town, so in a sense I've gotten the maximum benefit out of pairing with him.
Not buying this. I forget, did you have any reason to think Raz is scum?Had to make that play before Raz attacked again. No offense to Raz, but the possibility that the two of you were trying to coordinate a bus to save a scum weapon was too much for me to wait. If soup flips scum, I'd look into a Raz/soup or potassium/soup scumteam tomorrow. If he flips town, well, then he played a craptastic game and got himself killed. I don't really believe his claim though.
I view all of these things as scum-tells.
I consider you responsible for soup's death.But I'm in the 90% tile of surety that soup is scum.
Elaborate on this thought for me please.Huh, I like what Zen is saying, WHAT BLACK MAGIC IS THIS?!
Elaborate on this thought for me pleaseWhy wouldnt we kill soup now xast? After that stint i would call him obvscum
Claim was grimy, fake separate and fake attack on sokr was grimy. Thought he was trying to pull something like getting someone to waste their shot.I consider you responsible for soup's death.
#1 Why did you separate with soup when you did?
#2 How did you manage to misread him? I even said that I thought he was town, but you didn't bother to ask me about that.
#3 Why did you think soup vs Xastrn was TvS (which I deduce from you changing from thinking Xastrn scum -> Soup scum)
soup is responsible for soup's deathZen, answer Kary's questions.
Get out of here with your herp comment and realize that you are responsible for soup's death.
Comment on relevant things.
But not xast?!?! He went from telling zen not to separate to shooting him with no transition!I consider you responsible for soup's death.
ehhKary/FML, would either of you want to pair up if Sokr and I separated?
I like you and FML, you're both active slots, and I've gotten all I need from Sokr.ehh
why do you want to pair up with me?
my answer is maybe; that's something to decide later in the Day
Obviously I think Xastrn is responsible. But Zen is also responsible.But not xast?!?! He went from telling zen not to separate to shooting him with no transition!
I'm thinking scum has got a piercing style weapon which would explain the two deaths. I think town should consider trying to end the day with as few pairs as possible to cut our losses. Of course, there is the possibility that it was a one shot thing and we could gamble on that being the case.
I feel the opposite. soup was not playing classic town soup. And based on my reasoning yesterday, I had thought at the time he was playing classic scum soup. He wasn't showing any "umph" until I called him out on it. Also you're saying that you refuse to believe town would see him as scum when we have two confirmed town that also saw him as scum. So no. The fact that you somehow saw something that we didn't and trying to play it up is more suspicious than me just being wrong.Soup's interaction with Kary on page 1 was so classic angry town soup that I refuse to believe you couldn't see it.
His Xastrn interaction was similar. You were like his rock in this game. Someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of. He said he wanted to play this game as if you were his hydra partner. Naturally when you turned on him he went a a little crazy, because you suddenly weren't there to keep him grounded. Then you Separated from him and let him get shot when Xastrn (the one who shot him) told you not to Separate?
You have no right to point fingers at me and Kary. What you did was disgusting, plain and simple.
So you thought it was important to shoot soup before someone did what?Claim was grimy, fake separate and fake attack on sokr was grimy. Thought he was trying to pull something like getting someone to waste their shot.
It happens, I don't blame myself. I fully blame him for playing like scum. Not sure why you're mentioning you having a town read on him.
Xastrn town wasn't necessary a result of soup scum. It's because I realized something about his role which I now know is correct.
I don't need any ****ing town points. YOU are in the spotlight for your inability to notice the obvious.soup is responsible for soup's death
he had no reason to react that way to my suspicion. That was simply bad play. You and Kary trying to gain points because you were right on him is both silly and grimy.
Obviously I think Xastrn is responsible. But Zen is also responsible.
It is speculation. I can think of several explanations. But I think scum being able to shoot two people a Unrelated, what's your read on Kantrip?
Fair enough.Obviously I think Xastrn is responsible. But Zen is also responsible.
It is speculation. I can think of several explanations. But I think scum being able to shoot two people a Night is unlikely because it is very strong, and I know that Ryker cannot have been targeted with an attack (though someone may have intended to kill him).
Unrelated, what's your read on Kantrip?
Here Raz asks Kary why the rake vote, without even waiting for a response from Rake. To me this seems more of Raz trying to fake being town, by paving a 'direction' (Kary) that he will oppose and make look bad however he can whenever he can. I feel if he was genuine he'd wait for a reaction and try to read what Kary was doing from there.@Kary: Why the Rake vote?
Bold, I don't see why you have to go out of your way to say this. You seem to like Kary later on, this still seems more like you trying to paint Kary as scum with whatever you can find. I also feel his comment on Dabuz feels like he's going out of his way to like Dabuz for 'thinking' when Dabuz isn't actually doing much else. It's like he is trying to show that Dabuz is making up for what he lacks in some way. Or rather, he is trying to make up for Dabuz, by giving him an excuse.This post doesn't sit well with me. Kary comes out guns blazing with Soup, then disappears for a while, only to reappear and point fingers at people who are damn-near inactive? Sure, their posts aren't confidence-inspiring, but are they scum, or are you advocating shooting someone of low contribution toDay?
Those two are really easy targets to pick if you want to look like you're applying pressure without actually doing so, and without too much fear of retaliatory pressure.
I actually like this post from Dabuz, as it's showing he's actually thinking about ****. That aside, to answer your question, Dabuz:
Why the dislike on Pawn? Does your Dislike of Kantrip's 366 mean you think it's possible he is scum for using those reasons or something?Soup's 329 is disgustingly verbose and defensive. There is a literal BRICK of text that's all super-defensive restatement of his reads.
Soup is null right now. I read Soup v Kary as TvT, but his responses to Xastrn are rubbing me the wrong way. I'm having trouble distinguishing whether it is a case of frustrated Town, or anxious scum.Leaning towards the former, but only slightl.
The other three are still null for me, with Pawn as a slight scumlean and Sokr/Kary as slight townleans.
Dislike Kantrip's 366, can't find myself agreeing with the reasoning provided enough to conclude with a scumread. Xastrn is being a little reachy, but I don't see him pushing for the actual KILL on his scumreads yet, so is that necessarily a huge problem? I follow his thought process well, even if I don't agree with all of his conclusions.
Wondering why you shot a null when you said you'd need a damn good reason to do so. Can you explain what that reason was?[/collapse]I'm done with this play by Soup.
Attack: Soup
I also don't like that he states that he totally agrees with Kantrip's opinion here and feels like also saying "But you are still null to me", as if Kantrip even asked him for his read on him. It seems he WANTS to use Kantrip's argument to help his position, while saying "Hey I still think you are null, what you said is good though, i'll take it thanks *big smile*". This supports my feeling that he's being a bit sheepy to go in a certain 'structured' approach, rather a direction he feels he has to do. Or forced.I like this and completely agree with it. But you're still null to me.
This also doesn't come off to me as very passionate or even CONVINCED, especially the underlined.This desperate behaviour is only digging yourself deeper in my books. You are my strongest scum read.
I find it opportunistic for Sokr to drop his case (or rather, drop the borrowed case from Kantrip), when he could sink his teeth into vulnerable pawn.[/collapse]I no longer have a scumread on xastrn. I can see town doing the same things he's doing. Call it a wary null from me.
1) All kills must be made with the consensus of town.
---> Just because there is no official voting mechanic, doesn't mean that daykills should take place without town's consent. The standard rules of Mafia apply. We need honest conversation and firm reads before the end of every Day. Only after a majority of town players has agreed that a kill is valid will any kill take place.
I think this shows that Xastrn is trying to paint Rake scum with a simple paragraph, instead of his whole play. I also find it as twisting his words, because Rake didn't say that he was for less discussion, but rather for less STALLING. Stalling for time is null, as it can help town and scum. The more time you take, the more time you'll have to be convinced out of your scumreads, which can be a good or bad thing. It's a 50/50 shot, so I endorse Rake's message of "Well sometimes when you have to act, you must act", along with enough discussion, just not too much of it. As long as inactives and soft speakers are accounted for.Your second paragraph is scary to me, and tips you a bit towards a scum read in my book. You basically endorsed an anti-town approach, and you ADMIT it's not pro-town, AND you suggested that less discussion time is better for scum and worse for town, when the opposite is almost ALWAYS true. Scum already know who's town. Town NEEDS lots of interactions between players to gather info and make reads. Ending a Day quicker than we have to for the sake of ONE person's read is pro-scum. Flat out.
I don't understand why Xastrn was giving Sokr the benefit of the doubt here. He's poking Sokr to get active, but is aggressive towards Kantrip and Dabuz. Look back here if one of Xastrn/Sokr flips scum.@Sokr, get active buddy. I'm assuming you had a good reason for being inactive for the first 23 hours or so of the game. You mind throwing the reason our way? No judgment. RL is RL. I'm just always curious when people are missing, and we're starting to get some good stuff.
You asked about Potassium's happy medium. I'm not opposed to it, and I'm not rigidly stuck on our proposal either. We worded it strongly on purpose: to get reactions. And reactions we got.
I missed Sokr for some reason, You're [Kantrip] still in a null pile in my mind, so you certainly shouldn't feel attacked. But you should absolutely feel questioned.
Not good enough.My town read on Sokr is because I felt like his one post gave me a town-read. Simple as that.
What did you think of what he said, though? What is your current read on Kantrip now?[/collapse]And by active, I don't mean 3 posts in a row real quick to get your count up. :/ All 3 of those posts could have very easily been multi-quoted.
I feel this is a lazy attempt at not wanting to interact or rather, committ to a push on Xastrn. I feel a town Dabuz would follow up a little bit more than this. Not liking this from him.Is there any point you're trying to make out of this?
@Xastrn: Your explanation that Sokr gives you a town vibe off one post isn't much, but w/e, it's early in Day 1 and there's little to go on.
Dabuz makes a good catch here. I don't think he has really shown a read on Sokr.His 274: obvscum pawn is obvHis 275: xastrn nto scum with pawn on scumpawnHis 277: mfw if two of the scum are sokr and pawn
What makes you agree with obvscum Pawn?
How can you be so quick to dismiss that possible pairing this early on?
Good question, yet he doesn't actually find it suspicious, rather it's more of "Aren't you in the wrong here man?". Basically an easy way to interact with someone without really challenging them (that hard), or at least giving a read.[/collapse]Aye Bloke, but do ya reeeeeally think Sokr is actually getting anythin' from these questions?
Do you still think waiting isn't good enough after realizing what has happened recently?We can't sit around waitign for things to happen, that happened to some extent in Gs3 and it took much longer to kill obvscum Kantrip then it should have (mostly my fault, i should have shot him on gut instinct start of 2nd day), what to you defines good ? And do you really think a majority is the best way to handle the kills, or was that you telling ryker you've got an eye on him ?
I see. Good on you to do that before he goes. Didn't know this and glad I do now. Thanks.Also, depending on what circus says, orbo may be coming in with me to do one last fml town-hooray before he becomes a military man for those who care
I have an "skill" called Even Rhythm which allows me to attack on even days. The important thing to note here is that if I attack on an odd day, the day will end.So you thought it was important to shoot soup before someone did what?
You were wrong about him, and you blame him? You listened to me on Xastrn, but not soup?
You realised what? Don't tiptoe. First you thought Xastrn might be scum, then you were in a desperate rush to shoot soup. Why did one of them have to be scum?
I don't need any ****ing town points. YOU are in the spotlight for your inability to notice the obvious.
The herp in this thread.
Ran are you caught up? You should pair with me.
Ran you're scum
