This happens to be my second game online, my first non-newbie. Honestly, I was feeling a bit intimidated by being around some of these veteran players, at first, so, I figured I'd let the game progress a bit and see some of the interactions before getting significantly involved. After getting some familiarity with these playstyles and developing my reads, I'm ready to go now.Retract all dislike for clover for that last post, but I'm curious as to why you jumped on Gheb as your very post in, did something just click to you as you were reading or something?
After seeing your RF vote, I'm a bit curious about the latter half of that statement now. Could you clarify why you're still most comfortable voting RF toDay if something tells you that you're wrong?My gut really wants me to go with RadFic for toDay but something also tells me that I am wrong in that case.
I have read through all of it, and I feel that in terms of content, discussion was already thorough. However, my vote was more based on the style of responses I've seen. For example, there's a good amount of unnecessary discrediting of the authority of others.If she really wants to legitimately join my wagon then she'd have to work through all the longass responses I've given to like everybody in the game. Why is it OK for her to skip that?
So apparently the people in this game lack the brains to successfully read what I'm saying.
How likely is it that I as his assumed scumbuddy would jump into his defense so doltishly to let everybody know "I'm his scummate!" that even Krystedez or T - by all means, not the brightest lights in a mafia game, no offense - would draw such an obvious connection? How dumb do you actually think I am?
No Swiss you are not cool and you don't have any advanced skills at reading people.
You're still not cool or impressive, Swiss.
Also, you're dumb if you think Swords or I are plays.
Don't do the same crap that Zen / Ryu / [insert bad player here] does in every game where they just pretend to know stuff or magically figured out something amazing and then screw whole games with it because it's not actually anything worthwhile and just derails everything we've been doing so far.
I have worked my ****ing *** off to make you fools see what's going on
A lot of this aggression has no sort of beneficial purpose. In my opinion, there's more of playing personally than playing logically, here. What I see overall is an attempt to establish some sort of authority to justify your actions.I mean if this kind of bullsht is why you guys are still down to lynch me then you can shove your claim in your deluded *******s

I don't recall too much activity from you, but with your scum reads on both RF and myself I at least have an idea of where your head is. In time I will eventually determine your alignment. Jw, who would you consider your 2 strongest town reads (obviously yourself doesn't count)?inferno what do you think of me?
I think SMoth is a better choice to lynch because I feel there is the smallest loss from lynching him. It's a slot I find fairly scummy coupled with a lack of activity and commitment. I like where my vote is. Gheb is still a slot I have yet to decipher though.*looks at votecount*
unvote
Are we good with just going Gheb today or are we really going to be trying to push RadFic? Clover doesn't seem open to the idea and SMoth doesn't really either, Rake might change but everyone else doesn't seem likely.
lynch pool is rf, moth, john. but i could atleast get behind 2 others. Moth and John have been useless, and moth is either really bad or scum. I'm kinda leaning both. inferno has been looking better to me as of late.ok so, rake, soup, J, obv town.
I'd be willing to see SMoth / Gheb go toDay.*looks at votecount*

But i think this should be more of a "if nothing scummy comes up and we can't nail a scummer to the wall" type deal.I think SMoth is a better choice to lynch because I feel there is the smallest loss from lynching him. It's a slot I find fairly scummy coupled with a lack of activity and commitment. I like where my vote is. Gheb is still a slot I have yet to decipher though.
I'm sorry, can you explain why I'm not just busy and lazy?rf still hasn't given us anything. guys the dude is scum
Sorry about my inactivity. I'm still getting used to playing mafia again and I totally forgot about this game until today.
But whatever. I originally voted Swords because I was using RF's Swords vote to further pressure Swords into reacting in a telling way. Yes I had suspicious that he wasn't town, for just about the same reasons everyone else did, but I didn't think they were enough to start a wagon. Then Gheb started talking in his defense. Not gonna lie, I was ignoring Gheb's posts until he stopped speaking in poetry and I probably should have just kept ignoring them after. I feel like overall Gheb overreacted. Stating your read on someone is fine, defending someone you think is town is fine, but Gheb just produced so much all at once it feels like something hit a nerve.
And then Swords starts agreeing with Gheb. I know buddying isn't a 100% scum read. I know townies can buddy too. But as soon as you say "scum would never buddy because it looks scummy" or anything like that it becomes wifom and you might as well have said "these two people just said 'I'm scum.'"
I am personally fine and set with the idea of Swords/Gheb scumteam and I think Gheb needs to go first.
Vote: Gheb
Also just out of curiosity, Gheb, what is your "case" on me? You mentioned you had/could make one.
This post reads all sorts of non-committal, I don't understand how you're trying to string together gheb/swords like this, but make excuses as to why you were on Swords in the first place (see what I bolded.) It doesn't look very good at all. What about Gheb's overreaction makes them a team? That basically sounds like the basis of your read, and it's all about Gheb reacted, but go into further detail why you think a Swords/Gheb team works based on how they've interacted and what really set it off for you.
*fixed -> able should be unable.Clover's / your vote are there despit being unable to point out any relationship between the way I'm playing and scuminess.
Like?Hey. Off that Gheb wagon. There's better fish.
John hasn't even done side commentary. He's simply occasionally posted one liners as to justify not posting side commentary.John does the typical side comment and leave which I don't know if he does as scum. If there's a vig I'm all for him killing John. However I think Smoth is a better lynch. All he has done is jump on a wagon and then leave. I don't like it one bit. If we turn towards a direction to lynch John, I will vote him.
We should pressure others right now. I don't see the point in pulling a Marshy and ending the Day short when they're are still a couple who need to provide their opinions toDay.*looks at votecount*

1. "An ungodly terrible reaction to pressure?" How so? I can't respond to something that isn't actually backed up.RF said:Sworddancer had such an ungodly terrible reaction to pressure in the beginning of the game. We started on him after started asking after the tonality of a post. The way Sworddancer approached this game at the start accomplished nothing except looking like he was doing something. Then, votes started coming out. He cared for nothing but numero uno. After that, he disappeared until he wasn't a huge conversation topic and could try and better his reputation.
What bugs me about RF is the fact that they played in just a way that could only be interpreted as null earlier. I don't really that accusation can hold up now, but obviously I don't think someone is going to play in a certain way after being called out on it.I'd be willing to see SMoth / Gheb go toDay.
I will help push RF , but I want more than a gut read. yes the pushes and lack of follow-up are a point, but I'm going to need someone to solidify and show me the scum intent behind what RF is doing.
Plus not to ask a obvious question , but are we really assuming that an RF under pressure will do more than a RF not under any pressure ?
And for how long do we intend to push RF ?
Well they are never truly "weird" but moreso just...odd but that is just semantics talking there. Basically they are always "watch out their planning to kill us all with fire" because they will always look out for numero uno(themselves) when push comes to shove and to be honest, they have every right to in terms of logic because why should they stick their neck out for someone else? They are a weird slot to delve into because they like to semi-act the same regardless of alignment and it is very little things that they will slip up on and drop in terms of letting their alignment slip through.J on a weirdness scale, would this be normal Swiss / Ryker weird or "watch out he's planning to kill us all with fire" weird ?
You find me weird because I still have you open as an option to lynch.J, I still find you weird ... why aren't you behind the RF push more? You only seem to half-push players so far.

Can I ask you to tell me what exactly you want me to respond to w.r.t. Gheb? I don't really see what you are talking about needing to respond or wanting me to get to something in them.Good point at the end of 463, and I would like to see J respond to it.
Actually, eww at J's 522. You're cool with a claim but not a lynch? Why?
@J: You still need to reply to Gheb's 463 and 464. Could you do that please?
Gut vs. Logic. Usually how I play this game, logically, RF is playing scummy. Gut, it's not much of anything but a null-tell within some of their posts. Reason that made me switch to them was their bandwagon hop onto Gheb. A point Swords made that I insanely agree to is the point where they are setting themselves up to have a scum-read on slots regardless of what happens to them:@J - Your 430:

I like this post from RF to be completely honest but the points aren't substntial and as said by Ryker, they are weak due to not being full read-up. I mean the points in specific I am referring to is Ryker's points on Gheb due to Dissidia and it being a meta tell and then the Swords one is just one I don't agree to nor do I see his point. Points may seem flimsy, but something about this post makes me like him.Gheb can die for one post, literally one post. He tells Swiss to shut up and to let me do the posting. I have LITERALLY never seen that from him aside from where he did it to us in Dissidia. That threw up a red flag where he was scum then and it certainly does here. NOTHING he's done since then has made me feel better about him.
Sworddancer had such an ungodly terrible reaction to pressure in the beginning of the game. We started on him after started asking after the tonality of a post. The way Sworddancer approached this game at the start accomplished nothing except looking like he was doing something. Then, votes started coming out. He cared for nothing but numero uno. After that, he disappeared until he wasn't a huge conversation topic and could try and better his reputation.
Shoot him in the face.
Moth doesn't need to die if no one has something damn solid on him. If he's scum, he'll **** up badly and we can shoot him there. I see people wanting to vig him for "just wagoning." You're a moron if you take that shot. Shoot John everytime.
I don't like Macman. I don't like J.
I do like Soup. I do like Rake.
I do not like Inferno anymore. I do not dislike Inferno.
This, as explained above, is nothing really indicative of alignment.What bugs me about RF is the fact that they played in just a way that could only be interpreted as null earlier. I don't really that accusation can hold up now, but obviously I don't think someone is going to play in a certain way after being called out on it.
Like, it's a safe position for RF to be in, because it keeps them away from WIFOM of "why didn't they die during the Night," and it allows him to make pushes while keeping his cards close to his chest just because "that's the way they ALWAYS play."
This, however, is legit. I keep finding myself playing hot N cold with your logic Swords but when you do make the points that are on fire, they are smoking good.Swords said:Lol yes RF will do more under pressure. Trust me on that. They might say that "we need to let them play the game," but faced with the threat of dying, Ryker/Swiss will definitely do more, unless they are legit busy.
Besides, couldn't you really brush aside any push by simply questioning rather or not it will be useful? That's a counter-productive mindset if you ask me.
"How long do we intend to push RF?" As long as it takes. There is no "set" amount of time that's needed to push anyone, it just plays out naturally.
