Oh, I see. Sorry your posts since I posted the July case kept feeling like they're trying to downplay things, and I replied without looking back.
Tis fine. ^^ I haven't really such much w.r.t. your July case besides I don't agree to it.

TC said:
Acro, I've been cross with just for saying the previous lynch was likely TvT, but I honestly haven't taken a good look at either to say which way they lean.
When you do, can you let me know your updated opinion? Also you skipped what your Sang read was my dear.

TC said:
J said it so nicely. Plus, indy accusation would only generate baseless role discussion. It's nothing solid enough for a lynch and we don't need that distracting us from real cases. Like Acro's.


Yet again, you are good at this game. Maybe even better then Sang. (i.e. saying what I like)

EBWOP: Never mind on the Sang thing, it's a tad late haha and didn't see.

Dad, your read on AM as of this previous exchange?

Panda ran away from us when he was here the whole time. :c

Why? It hasn't gone in that direction and no one is pushing it in that direction. The accusation could generate discussions on who might be Hilt's scum mates if other people think he's mafia or role discussion based on what kind of indy he is, but none of that is a problem even if the kind of indy discussion doesn't matter much.
Generate discussions that wouldn't have any merit until Hilt turns up scum/indy, which would be afterwards. And if he is town, it would mean a big waste to precious Daylight.

You're just in denial.

So what's the next step in this 7 step program? I forget. Regardless, I think you should take a look at Acro. If you do, I promise to double check my July read kay? Otherwise she's still sitting pretty as a stronger read.

Would you settle to agree on a dislike of AM?

I dislike this post and I can see where someone would get the cocky tone from. It seems a little forced/fake with the tone of it.
Fair enough. I'll try to tone it down.
I don't know if it is just me, but I don't like Hyrdae. :s
It isn't just you.
At this point I would have to say, Dad is most likely scum. Their playing style is off and the well I will let hydraheadx explain that is a nice way of... Give me time to come up with why I said that.
This is no better than what I last said to you :|

You're not actually accusing him of doing anything! Saying that you think he's scum is all fine and dandy, but because his playing style is off? You're playing extremely safe.
Oh, so if I said that Hilt was scum and left ambiguous that he was indy then it wouldn't have been a problem at all. Only because I pointed out why I thought he was indy over mafia is it a problem?
I'd say it's because you said that you couldn't come to a reason for why I'm mafia, but fell on calling me Indy.
I outlined specifically why I think he is sidelining. It's because he isn't committing strongly to anything aside from RR past the point it was obviously going to happen and he never goes against the grain.
I pushed for RR strongly when it was up between him and Seikend, and defended Seik. It was not without-a-doubt going to go in the direction of a RR lynch.
Seriously, look back and cite examples as to where I'm wrong or explain why that doesn't add up to sidelining to you.
You ask for this but don't cite examples for why I'm guilty? Hmm.
AM, it's a mafia scum-slip to call someone out for being an indy rather then them being scum.
Eh. I wouldn't exactly call it a scum slip in this situation. It just seems like he's reaching for a reason to call me scum. Kind of funny.

AM's case on me so far is bordering on ignorable. I dislike how he says that he'll provide his full case at another time, yet demands thorough rebuttals... against his unfinished case. I'll respond to the points when he makes them. As things are now, though, "Hilt's sidelining and only jumping on convenient pushes" is going to need to be backed up. Now that I think about it, he didn't quote me once when he released what bit of his case he did.

Rereading Panta's posts right this moment.

Wagoning... for no reason... I'd also rather not lynch an inactive say we accidentally hit a power role.

Besides, lynching an inactive, literally defeats the purpose of Daystart and potentially gives scum a 2-person lead on the town.

vote: LST
Votes for LST for... wait, he didn't really say.

LST was also called scummy by both Dad and Acrostic (though Dad unvoted), and LST had been away for a bit. However, Acrostic and Dad would be the ones to stick out to LST, making Panta relatively safe and comfortable.
Lst on the other straight up wagons, and seems content with posting fluff.
LST has posted barely anything. He has restated his reads about 3 or 4 times while saying that people should post more.... when he hasn't been posting.

It seems like he is trying to give the impression that he is contributing, but he just isn't.
Looking into Seikend's posts.

I've read Ryu's posts and... I see the case against him.

He had a complete hard on for an Acro vote and then he decides to just let that go and vote Seikend after he starts getting pressure from Dad and LST.

Ryu wanted to lynch Seph, Acro, and myself for a while for our scumminess/inactivity. Town gains nothing from lynching an inactive in the way of connections, reads, etc, yet Ryu was heavily intent on getting them to post.


I don't know if Ryu is just trying to pressure the other players into playing by stating he would be gunning for their lynch if they wouldn't be active (read: Hilt, Seph, Tom).

He takes that one step further and analyzes all of Acro's posts coming to the conclusion that they are bs and scummy. He hasn't pursued Acro's lynch as much as I thought he would given his huge post about Acro and I find that odd. He then gives the reason that he was pressuring him into playing more/he isn't following him as much because he isn't posting.

Other than Seph's first few posts and his general inactivity, there is nothing to say about him, yet Ryu wants his lynch a lot.

One thing that I have seen on the other gaming site that I visit is that if a mafia member is not pulling their weight, they get bussed by their partner. I don't see why Ryu wouldn't just seek Seikend's attention in the QT or some other form of external communication to get him back into the game especially when they have daytalk. It seems unnecessary to push his buddy this much unless he is gunning for the major town cred gambit.

When he votes Seikend, he doesn't really offer much content other than quoting a post and saying that it destroyed his town read on him when he literally did not indicate any read on Seikend before..

Bah. At this point I do think that Ryu is pretty scummy for his action.

Reading into Seikend now.
Seikend... doesn't have many posts. THen again, I can't saying anything. :p

He comes in after getting prodded and provides... what everyone has already said.

I like his vote on Hilt because that is basically what I thought when I saw Hilt's vote on myself. However, it looks like he is trying to cozy up to me with his questioning of Hilt.

Hilt gave a pretty good reason as to why his vote was on me, in order to learn my playstyle. He said he probably wouldn't pursue my lynch because he wanted to pressure me in order to learn how I play. Seikend seems to totally ignore that fact, or he didn't see it.

I don't like his reason for his reads on Dad. In the beginning he said, oh cool, I'm not gonna have a hard time reading Soup/Kuz because I have played with you guys before, and he uses that excuse again when J asked him about his read on Dad with regards to LST. All he states is that, their votes were weird, but I inclined to agree with Dad because we usually have the same reads in the end. What is that?

Seikend's justification for his reads on me, J, LST, and AM seem like a cop out too. They are all one liners that barely contribute and I think they don't meet the expectations of the people who asked the question.

I don't know why he would feel more confident with AM's reads when he called AM out saying that his entrance into this game was terabad. It just doesn't make sense. And by the way, when I think of AM... I can't think of anything. His posts are really annoying for me to read. >_>

365 is a nice little way of changing RR's wording, Seikend. First of all, you came in after J had established his reads and then you both got close saying you guys had such similar reads. You also talk about that in your own post. Did you forget about that?

Meh. I don't feel like it is SvS and like you all said they are both scummy. I can't put my finger on who is more scummy, though. :\

Since the deadline is so close, though, I am going with a Seikend vote.

Unvote
Vote: Seikend
Hmmm.

These posts make me reconsider. His D1 and D2 plays are really different. I don't like D2 Panta (posts I've already called him out on recently), but considering it's earlier in the day, he could end up changing back into how he was later in D1.

Panta doesn't have many posts, and nothing really stuck out from a lot of them. A lot of "what does this mean" or "can mafia talk at night??". Out of his twenty-two posts, I'd say only about 2/3 of them have anything in them, at most. But there wasn't really anything that smelled scummy until his D2 posts.

Going to start an acro read now. Might end up taking a nap during it. We'll see.

I thought I did tell you why I did not like you in the past but atm I only have 3 scum-reads but they are more or less like this.

Acrostic

Sang/TC

I'm definetely wary of you but I think it's a given at this point.
Alrighty. I must have missed it. I'm not sure. To me it just sounded like you just disliked me but couldn't figure out why. I'll look it up again.

Anyways, just got back a little bit ago and I'm gonna try and catch up and do a re-read as well. I'll get back to any questions once I'm finished.

I like how AM's posts are a lot more readable on page 21 since he dropped his fake "math" talk. I find it interesting when he's not posing, he sounds very defensive. I don't like how he specifically targeted Hilt as Indy. Also thought it was weird how he asked "How can you tell TC is a lady?" because honestly I figured she was a girl based on her avatar (not reliable I know).

Red Ryu | J probably aren't a scum team either.
So, what do you think of J now, since RR turned out town?

Atm, I am currently wanting to look into you and Daddy more. Can you tell me what you think of Daddy just based on how he is posting toDay?
I don't know if I replied to this or not yet. If I have, oh well. If not, here you go. I like his posts for the moment. His flipflopping just seemed like he really doesn't quite know who scum is but has ideas and is willing to follow through with those ideas, unlike others who just post and then don't really follow through. Also, wrt to recent things happening I dislike how you are trying to dig for scummy things on certain people and completely overlooking and blindly trusting anything scummy that one of your town reads might have said. For instance, you say you dislike AM for looking for indies (and you've made it clear earlier that you dislike AM) and yet you completely disregard anything that TC has said and say that you don't see how anything TC has said against July could be at all true. Also, do you still think Acro is scum? P.S. #881? Just the end "Maybe even better than Sang." It's not hard to be better than me at this game, jsyk. :chuckle:

@Tandora. What do you think of J, Acro, and Hilt this game?

Another thing that caught my eye me is that she didn't comment on my personal attack of you, which is something that she is pretty disdainful of and is not something I'm known for (well maybe just a bit).

Not really a big thing to go off but just trying to figure some things out from these recent pages.
What is your view on Tandora now?

@Panta. Could you give me more reasons for your AcroTown feel? Becuase I don't really see it. Also, would you mind making a strong stance on who you think is scum and why?

@TC. After your #806, do you find anything scummy from posts where it's just July?

What is your read on Hilt now?
He's null leaning town. There are some posts that I like from him, but there hasn't really been anything that has struck me as obvtown except maybe #885.

Acrostic's posts are hard to get through and have the appearance of good content, but I feel like he very often overstates things or presents so much information and so many points of view that it gives him wiggle room on his cases or reads. With RR specifically Acrostic seemed to advocate the lynch at times, but then called it a PL and a ML and putting a lot of conflicting opinions out there on one topic which made it hard to understand his stance.

RR I can agree was scummy for the reasons you said so I don't think you were in the wrong to call him scummy, it just seemed like at the time Acrostic had more scummy qualities outlined by you and yet you went RR with your vote.
This is true, which is why I'm still going to be looking at Acro a lot. But, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get lynched today because it seems that the focus has moved elsewhere.

@AM. Since we know your view on July pretty obviously, what is your view on J atm?

Can you give examples as to whom you are talking about in your last sentence who don't follow through?

What are you talking about now in the bolded? That is completely not true at all in the slightest sense of the word. How does calling AM out for looking for indies have anything to do with what I said w.r.t. TC? I never said anything in the hot pink. I said I didn't agree to what she was saying and I didn't say that what she said wasn't true. Where are you getting this from?

Yes I still think Acro is scum which is why I changed TC's quote a bit. I was also talking about her being better at saying things before I do at an uncanny level. :p

Sang, where is your vote going? You say that you would like to see Acro lynched and that is where you are gonna be looking yet refrain from voting? You even complain that he may not be lynched yet you don't do anything to fix this. Tell me, do you agree with the July case?

Like Panta or Acro. They both say things about wanting to vote for people but never follow through with it. For example, Acro decided to vote for RR just to appease the town even though he had stronger scum reads. Panta says something offhandedly about thinking so and so could be a scum but never puts force behind it, and by force I don't mean voting. I mean interrogation and focus.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but you just seem to be willing to trust July with anything that she says or does. With AM, you are saying that since he is looking for Indies he must be scum because regular town people wouldn't do that. And I agree that you never said that, which is why it isn't quoted. But you were saying how you didn't see any of TC's argument against July, which makes it seem like you don't think it's true. Meh. Those two instances are completely unrelated. I was just making a point.

I would like to see Acro lynched, but I also want to see more from him since he's V/LA for the weekend. I'm not complaining that he might not be lynched. I'm just stating that people other than you, july, and me aren't looking for his lynch. I'm keeping my vote back until Acro gets back and I can see more from him. Until then, I don't see anybody that strikes me as scummy more-so than Acro, so I'm just not voting for the moment. Also, do you mean July's case on any number of things or the case on July? If you mean the case on July, I can see where TC is coming from, but I don't agree with it, which is why I asked her if she thought any of July's posts toDay looked scummy.

No again haha. I said I disliked him because of his indy push and I do find him a bit scummier because of it. You are attacking this the wrong way.

So let me ask you, because you don't agree to it, do you think it's untrue? Also you really draw out that reply to just say, "I'm not voting Acro till he gets back from V/LA." :p

Um...No? You had said that you don't see any of the argument, IIRC.

No, I do not think it is untrue. I see where she is coming from. I can understand her points, but I do not think that is a reason to call July scummy and would therefore like to see more evidence. And meh. I didn't know what I was really saying until I said it like 8 times. Sue me.

Then why not question them on it and ask them to do as such? :p

Sang said:

By saying you dislike it, isn't that technically attacking it because you feel it is wrong?

Caaaan you bring it up?

So what's your opinion of TC based on her said attack if you do not find it scummy but she is pretty gung-ho about a July lynch?

Becuase I've just recently noticed it. I believe I have asked Panta and I tried with Acro but it didn't work because it was close to deadline.

On another note, I have to agree with a line that July said w.r.t. TC's case on her. It's opportunistic looking for one but it's also reaching for a point to call her scum which I don't like. She keeps up bringing up the inactivity quite a bit and non of her stuff really shows for much besides like tiny comments and not why what July has done is scummy.

Pretty null. We've only seen her lynch of July and she's sticking beside it even after attacks from others about it. The indy thing doesn't make me think she's scum even though I dislike it. Heck, I've never been in any games with an indy, so I can't really make a counter argument to this.

General overview post. Indicates that this was prepared or at least thought-out to give this case focus. The premise is that I state things in a manner that give me "wiggle room" and therefore am scum.

July said:
With RR specifically Acrostic seemed to advocate the lynch at times, but then called it a PL and a ML and putting a lot of conflicting opinions out there on one topic which made it hard to understand his stance.
We PL'd RR because he was lynching inactives. He did commit to some other questionable actions, but the fact that he was focusing on inactives stood out as a primary reason as to why we started the lynch. More reasons came afterwards such as him joining the Seikend wagon for little to no reason and his voting behavior with little explanation. However at its base the RR lynch as a PL in my mind that resulted in an ML (because he was town).

July said:
If you had a "full lynch choice" why would that choice be Seph? Do you find Seph slot scummier than Dad and myself?
I wanted to lynch Sephiroth because I had a feeling that he would be inactive throughout the game and I felt better with lynching him than either RR|Seikend. I believe that Seph is a "townier" read at the moment than either you or Dad even with his lack of content.

One factor that bothers me is that you don't bother to question J. It is one thing to have another player read you as town. However I would be slightly curious when someone defends me against accusations of being mafia. Instances I have seen of this is wrt D1 is Dad putting an initial fos on LST and J questioning him on it. A similar situation occurred today with travelingcat fosing you and J questioning him extensively. It seems like you have 0 curiosity with respect to J being a benefactor which led me to think that you could be masons because I don't see this relationship as being any indication of typical town play.

Even more than just a question of alignment, is the fact that you do not try to push a lynch outside of J's direction. Most of your posts come in the form of statements and the few questions you do ask are directed towards me & Sangfroid who have been your primary scum picks since you decided to go solo. This gives me the impression that your conviction wrt my lynch is not genuinely your own.

July said:
Kk but after you drop the Dad vote you put your vote on RR and say the reason is in your #372, which is here: "@RR: RR an explanation to why you decided to transition from me to Seikend would be nice. When I asked you to come at me, I wanted you to come at me so I could see you scumhunting and being pro-town before we decided to lynch. Bleck." This reasoning was weak for you to switch your vote to RR and put him to L-2, from reading this post it didn't seem like your concerns about RR scum were all that strong and you had JUST told Sangfroid to re-read and reassess. After find out that your top scum pick was based off a misunderstanding, you immediately jumped on RR without any further explanation of your scum read on him, and that seemed like you were just trying to get away from the Dad mistake and get on the popular wagon.
Perhaps you didn't know, but that post is with regards to my posts in #332, and #333. If you read that post alone then you would think it is a weak reason since it is a progression of these two previous posts getting unsatisfactory answers. I told Sangfroid to re-read and reassess because she missed the two posts I probably posted before which I'm assuming you missed as well. I didn't just "hop-on" to the popular wagon, I had a vague feeling that RR could be town and wanted him to "come at me" so he could start showing off his town vibes. I hope this clarifies some things.

July said:
What I was saying is that there were different aspects of this post that came in conflict with each other but could definitely have scum motivation behind them. You said you were okay with RR because it was better than a NL, which could be giving yourself a way out if RR flipped town, but you also cited some weak reasons why RR was scummy here and there and that could give you some credibility if RR flipped scum. So really you let this response ride the middle and never took a hard stance on your vote on RR as either a vote to prevent a NL or as a vote on a scum pick and that's the issue; you left it open as to why you were really voting RR and that gave you a wiggle room to get on the wagon without having to explicitly call him scummy.

[2] Lack of rebuttal to #332 and #333.
#384: [1] and [2]
#390: [1]
#508: [1]

July said:
But the issue here is that J was asking you questions and asking questions is a way to get a read on someone. And if I'm correct even though you clarified that this was a bit rude, I don't think you ever actually answered J's questions seriously. So you say that J's reads don't seem to fluctuate when it comes to dialogue except when it came to you, but you rejected having a serious dialogue with J here so I don't understand why you are surprised that J's read changed on you. Reading the dialogue it did seem off that you never seriously answered his questions.
I've had tons of "serious" dialogue with J up to that point. Mocking her in that one post was not the point of change in his fos wrt me. I eventually did answer the question seriously in #508 wrt the post you quoted #496.

July said:
You can but you make it seem like RR shouldn't still ask questions of J, a null-town read for him, because J had a scum read on him, and that doesn't make sense to me.
I'm town and you tunnel on me (if I have you as a town read), I think your perception this game is bad. I really wouldn't go out of my way to ask you for feedback on my reads.

July said:
Well if scum busses a partner they are obviously trying to gain town cred from their partner's scum flip, distancing is just more of a natural thing to avoid having to directly confront their scummate. Guessing this is going back to your argument about RR which I addressed earlier in the post, first of all I never said you were bussing your partner, I said that you found a convient way to hop on the wagon while still expressing doubt about it. If you are scum and RR had flipped scum then you could have emphasized that you were on the wagon and did cite reasons for RR scum. If you are scum and RR flipped town, then you can push that you had to be on there to prevent the NL instead but you had a feeling he was town. Either way you set up a scenario where you wouldn't have to take responsibility for his flip toDay and that's why you have to be considered regardless of RR's flip, but an RR scum flip would have pointed to reluctant scum hopping the wagon to gain some town cred.
Addressed the bolded section in my earlier post that it wasn't a convenient hop-on, I rebutted RR and asked him to respond back. I also found his move to Seikend with little explanation to be scummy. I was reluctant to lynch RR because I had a gut read that he would be town based on how no one came to his defense or tried to prevent his lynch. I don't see me capitalizing on this so called "town cred" that I'm supposed to cash-in on. Neither do I understand the point of me gambiting as scum off of "gut reads" to seem town. I decided to hammer as Zen told me in Newbie 13 that forcing an NL based on your own reads rather than pushing the lynch for town is incredibly selfish. So I hammered.

July said:
The stance on Seikend was my own and was based on our own push of him from his lack of scumhunting and following through on his questions.
I actually liked your #322 and unvoted for you because of it.

July said:
Gord and I pushed Ignatius because of his post about hydras and then when SangfroidWarrior came into the game I kept a very close eye on her and expressed the suspicions I had of her, which at this point she has clarified most of and she is not one of my scum picks atm.
Still don't understand how his hydra talk during RVS was a scum-tell.

July said:
Your play has been really scummy and my #683 and this post explains why, and I agree with points about your play that J has made as well. RR honestly I found scummy not only for his push on inactives but comparing meta from DGray mafia to here, and here he was drastically different and anti-town, but that was meta that I couldn't really discuss until the game was over. So I appreciate J's case on you and suspicions of other people I find scummy, but my cases are mine.
I believe I've addressed #683 in my #700 which we are discussing now. I didn't have much meta on RR aside from Newbie 13 and I didn't see PL lynches as being scummy because in my Newbie 13 the inactives were both mafia. I will admit that I liked your #322 as it showed that you were beginning your own case, however your subsequent direction has mostly been pointed in J's direction and I don't see much outside questioning.

Re: V|LA

Sangfroid you stated that you had changed reads on me. Explain how the reads changed and why. I'm assuming that you didn't like my explanation wrt Dad|July. If you didn't like it then please explain what part you disliked and why my reason was insufficient.

AM voting Hilt as indie, possible SK does not seem like a strong mafia gambit. For one, mafia could just use the night kill on Hilt if they do want him out of the game. Two, calling out Hilt for being indie means that AM puts himself in danger of being killed, especially wrt SK accusation. I do admit though that TC brought up an interesting point as to the intent behind AM's indie read. However the more important question to address then would be:

AM: Why did you decide to look into Hilt initially and why did you continue mulling over it when a scum read on him didn't make sense (vs. just treating him as null)?

Sorry this catchup is taking me a while, I'm around post 250 now. Here's my early game notes.


Alright, posting some thoughts as I go. I did take a look at who flipped before starting, however.


No. I initially had doubts that a mod would just give us a free clear. Therefore I was thinking that it could be a possible mafia mix-up role. Then I found out that that this is part of the role you were given, so the notion became more plausible to me.



I'm explaining an initial misunderstanding I had on my part. I believe it is important to clear up things as soon as possible. I've told you what I was thinking. How you choose to interpret it is up to you.
This feels townie to me, as it's obvious that regardless of alignment Acrostic made the same mistake (that is, not realizing the innocent child is COMPLETELY confirmed.) I feel that scum wouldn't tried to push JTB under that assumption, due to the semi-confirmation making him a tougher target. So, town points for Acrostic.

Too bad that logic couldn't have saved me in the newbie game.

vote: Acrostic

Yes. This is an OMGUS vote.


From another game.
Hm, don't particularly like how Panta goes ahead and makes with RVS stuff when discussion is starting.


Why are you fools all up on Acrostic? He's a new player, and if it wasn't for Sonic Mafia, I'd have not known what the Innochild is either.
.
This defense strikes me as odd, Acrostic had all of two votes on him, and it's only the first few pages of the game. If Acro happens to be scum this will be something to look back at.


Not too much to say for a couple pages, as much of the posting is about the lack of activity in-thread. :/ Points for J at least trying to keep the thing active, as it's way too easy for scum to hide without some discussion.

(On a side note, I wish Inferno would get a different avi. The one he has could use some more clothing.)


This guy mad.

Vote: Ignatius

Apparently you're pretty good at this game Iggy. You obviously know how to play if you've played previous games here and have played a multitude of BRoom games, so I'm pretty confident that questioning dumb vs scum is not fair to you. So let's get to the vote. You're putting pressure on a hydra simply for the fact that it's a hydra. Now although I respect your opinion of hydras, that has zero indication of alignment, seeing that it's a personal problem of yours. What really catches me oddly is that you went for a hydra that quite literally came in here and made one post that had zero substance. So my questions, are why did you add the vote to that question, and why do I get the feeling that you're faking content?
I like this post, it's not exactly a super-awesome case, but it helps with activity, gets some discussion going, points out something worth pursuing... good stuff.

Fixed that. Ya, fail town in that game fo sho.
This is the third post from Panta, and none of them have been remotely helpful. Not liking it.

Meanwhile, my town read on Acrostic is solidifying. Sure, not everything he says is awesome content, but considering how inactive this game is (judging by the post dates), it serves its purpose for activity stoking, and I like how he's being transparent about his thought process.



I have no problem with you calling out stuff. But if you are going to say stuff without anything to back it up, don't throw a hissy fit if someone calls you on it.



My bad, you made one good post. But it's not really much at all.


You also have the most posts of the thread. What have you done to move the day forward in all those posts? Ask hydras to color code their opinions? Ask Ignatius how many times he's going to post a day? It's fluff.



Even though my present vote doesn't have to do with it, I'll be happy to prove you wrong anyways. My initial reasoning doesn't stem from the fact that I did it in a game as newbie scum, it's the fact that town recognized it as a newbie scum tell and called me out on it. I'm not dumb enough to self-meta as a basis for an argument, but you seem to think otherwise.
If JTB wasn't clear, I'd probably have jumped on him for this. Calling someone scummy for fake content when there's clearly real content as well AND only 7 pages of thread in a rather inactive game? *sigh*

I like Lepoard's 103 as well, feels like solid townie analysis so far.

The only thing I have against acrostic is that he is being very defensive and not posting enough info. Not really sure if that's enough to put a vote on.

:phone:
This feels off to me, as Acro's clearly been the one most trying to stoke activity in this thread, and inferno's done nothing.




My current mind state:

Townie: Acro, Lepoard, maybe J

Keep an eye on: Panta, Inferno

(Sorry, no solid scum reads yet)

What does Salty mean?

Inferno, it is still for all intents and purposes, RVS. You can give even less reasoning then what you just gave as a reason to vote someone.
Seriously? People are trying to scum hunt despite lack of content, and you just keep trying to plunge the game back into RVS. Dislike.

Anyway, J, Lepoard, and Acro have continued their townie scumhunting despite the inactivity, and confirm my town reads on them so far. Continuing on…

I dislike the tone of Dad's early game play, but this post in particular sticks out at me.

this is my goddamn answer, my read stays the same but there is not enough fire to get something going, it's best to drop it and look somewhere else if people are going to disagree to it.
Sure, there wasn't a lot of people agreeing with his vote at the time, but there's 4 days before deadline, and there basically ISN'T a wagon on anyone at this point. If his read remains a scum read, I think a townie would have PUSHED that read instead of going "Oh, people disagree with me, so I'll just drop it." Ugh.

It [his vote] wasn't going anywhere, maybe it will come back up if people agree to it or whatever, but there could be better places to look in this land, it's just that it's hard to find them.
Here's the thing, D's vote wasn't anywhere. Sure, if the vote's more useful somewhere else and nobody supports your wagon then it's okay to switch. However, when only a couple people chime in on your vote, it makes 0 sense to unvote if you still have a scum read and NO better place to put said vote! Even if the vote wasn't at its best there (which is hard to evaluate with only a couple people chiming in), it's better there than not being used at all, right? So what purpose did the unvote serve? (Perhaps to get people off his back for a bad vote…)


Take your aspirin and come back with a better attitude.

You jumped off board your "strongest scum-read" hap-hazardly once people started pressuring you that your vote was bad and got off simply because of that. Then you still say he is the scummiest person but you need to find someone else because 3 out of 14 people disagreed with you.

Not buying it at all.
J, quit stealing my lines! Seriously, I type up a paragraph, move ahead a few posts, and see you've beaten me to the punch. It's annoying. At any rate, D comes back with a "lol, U DUMB" reply instead of any proper defense.

:facepalm:

are you stupid
did you get dropped on the head as a child are you stupid

do you not hear the words am i speaking? what i am saying? can you not understand coherent english?
Hey look who finally posted something non-fluff.

Your vote question makes no sense at all. What answer/information were you hoping to get out of a weird ***, non important, fluff question like that? You're lucky it was still in RVS at that time. O_O I know it is rehash, but I still don't like that post one bit.
(This quote is in reference to Ignatius's "Why did you need to hydra" entry question.)
This is a good point. The decision to hydra is made pre-game and is completely unrelated to alignment.


I don't like Red Ryu's voting Acrostic after I voted him. I feel like Acrostic gave viable reasons for his actions and RR seemed to cherrypick an iffy reason to vote him. Also, appeal to emotion is a pretty lame thing. Humans are emotional and if they are close to death or getting annoyed, how can you expect them to remain logical, despite alignment. You could also go as far as to say that Mafia won't be using AtE because it is so scummy. Using "scum tells" like that really don't work when they are out of context.
Are you seriously trying to paint AtE as a town tell? Although I agree that showing emotion doesn't make someone scum, the idea that only town uses AtE is just horrible.

You present a pretty suspicious post when you talk about LST, but claim it is null and then go for the barely active lurker, who in a way, corresponds to your play style?

You've only posted when asked. You aren't actively seeking out scum.
Hm, Hilt vs Panta is interesting, as Hilt votes Panta for several RVS fluff posts, and then Panta goes after Hilt for… not contributing or seeking out scum. Not quite sure what to think of it yet, depends on Panta/Hilt's future activity.

Dad and J do not seem to be of the same mindset, and to take a page from Acrostic's book I am willing to bet both are town and a J|Dad scum team is impossible.
I want to see more reasoning regarding this. Yes, I agree that a J/D scum team is unlikely. However, the thought that BOTH are town is unjustified.

*snip*

Makes me doubt that Hilt is scum, which I was really thinking. Her actions are too intelligent for my onetrack mind. :|
Huh? Explain.

Wagoning... for no reason... I'd also rather not lynch an inactive say we accidentally hit a power role.

Besides, lynching an inactive, literally defeats the purpose of Daystart and potentially gives scum a 2-person lead on the town.

vote: LST
I don't like this. Although an inactive lynch isn't optimal, scum can quite easily lurk, and I point to PLSD in Time Travelers (ongoing, but he's already flipped) as an example. Additionally, Panta doesn't touch on LST at all, just joining the popular wagon.

In total, although it's nice to see some content from the slot, it didn't actually cause me to feel better about Panta. Much of the post is in his own defense, and the rest is basically going "Hilt is scummy because of X" and then "Oh, nvm." Add in the unsubstantiated LST vote (who was the popular wagon back then), and I think it (my read on Panta) is a solid scum read.

Later on (sorry, no quotes because I was reading on the iPod at that point), D does NOT hop on the LST wagon when some support has gathered, and when asked says it's basically because kuz changed Soup's mind. If D was scum playing it safe with his LST vote, why wouldn't he have hopped back on now that there's support? This makes me feel better about the slot, I think the earlier vote thing might have just been Soup being Soup. (I'd still appreciate a reply from D to my above comments about his play, however.)

One last note, AM read is pending depending on if/how he backs up his reads and provides more content. At the moment his play is difficult to evaluate (though rather entertaining).

Oh by the way, the "Hey look who finally posted something non-fluff" was directed at Panta, not D. Realized it wasn't clear when I proofread.

When did I say I had changed reads on you? My reads are exactly the same as they were from before the end of D1. I just wasn't voting you becuase I want to see more from you... Your explanation wrt Dad/July? It must not have made any impression because I can't even remember it. Point it out, please?

Town, town, scum.
Why don't you vote him then? Hilt is trying to cast suspicion on arguably the most antitown of players so far (me).

When he first came into the game and wagoned onto me I thought it was scummy, but his explanation calmed my fears mostly. However, his play has deteoriated and it seems lime he is only acting when people put suspicion onto him. He is acting reactive rather than proactive which I feel is mafia way of playing.

unvote
Vote: Hilt


Interesting that Aggressive attached Serial Killer to Hilt.

AM, why, other than Meta, do you feel Hilt is Serial Killer/independent?

@J, TCAT: Its great that you can argue textbook mafia viewpoint, but what is your actual view on AM's push on Hilt? Is it a mafia slip or do you think is he just wrong?

@Tandora: Show me specifically where AM looks like he has gotten defensive. In your post you vote AM, your reasoning pertains to them lurking in the background and them not taking a leader role. With their recent entrance and more important content to comment on, is that still your reasoning for your vote placement? Same question as above, you dislike AM's case on Hilt but is it scummy?

@J: Other than your connection case from scumRR to acrostic and Acrostic's view of RR and Seikend late D1 (with the ML vs PL and whatnot), why is Acrostic scummy? I don't care if you've already answered this, answer it again.

@AM: I really like your 850. He did the same thing when I called him town based on his reactions to my attacks which I find strange. Also agreed that Tandora v J looks strange. As for Hilt, I'm indifferent. What you say about Hilt's playstyle is true and his play this game has given me feelings similar to those of July in Dgray, but most of the content in his posts line up almost directly with what I'm thinking. The only thing that has perturbed me was his reaction to RR's claim, which I didn't like. Soup actually picked up on it before me (ironically enough) but the confidence he used to respond to the claim and especially questions like "unless you want to claim scum so we can speed this up" don't match his other pushes. I am interested in hearing what other material you have to incriminate him, though.

@Panta: When Hilt voted you early D1 you told you disliked people pushing others for meta reasoning. Now you seem to think we're scum for reasoning that has to do with me contradicting my meta and something just feeling off about our slot. You also keep telling us you'll bring up content on our slot but you never do it. Lets see some initiative.

@Acrostic: If I told you that

Inferno Tandora
Tom Traveling Cat
Hilt
Ignatius SangfroidWarrior
Seph Nich

Held 2 scum who would they be and why?

Running out the door, more stuff later.

No one knows my actual meta because I change it quite often. You who have only played one game with me certainly don't have much of a base to judge it on.

If anything, my play in Newbie 13 was pretty uncharacteristic of how I nornally play, and I told you all in game that I was going easy on you.

Alright @ phone thing.

When someone asked you your biggest scumread earlier, your answer was me. Why do you feel Hilt deserves your vote over others? Saying his play has deteriorated holds no weight when Hilt has always been playing reactivly. He was reactive when you had a town read on him earlier so why does that justify your scum read on him now?

@TC. After your #806, do you find anything scummy from posts where it's just July?
Besides the lack of? #811, she didn't respond to half of the case, saying it was just shots at activity and chose not to explain herself for it. I didn't like her defense, which is why I'm pushing it harder to see how she responses to it. Her other post was #813 where she just voted Acro and hasn't posted anything else toDay. Sooooo... >_>

@J, TCAT: Its great that you can argue textbook mafia viewpoint, but what is your actual view on AM's push on Hilt? Is it a mafia slip or do you think is he just wrong?
Considering his strong reaction when we made that point, it's looking like a mafia slip. I also don't like that he agrees with my case but chooses not to vote with it. Instead, out of the blue, he goes after an Indy, something we have absolutely no reason to believe to be in the game atm.

He was called out on his reactive play and has not tried to fix it. That is degrading.

Your play, now that I realize who is posting what is easier for me to read. I haven't given up on you, but Hilt or me look to be the lynch options today and I know I am not a good lynch.

@Sang: What are your thoughts on Tandora? I can't quite remember, is Acrostic your first scumpick? If so what's your reasoning for him being scum other than the ML vs PL & TvT whatever fiasco. If not, link me to who is and why.

@Panta: Who wants to lynch you? Last I remember it was just us and that was literally all Soup.

However, your reasoning for why Hilt is scum stems from the fact that you and Hilt look like probable lynches and that you are not a good lynch. This atrocious notion aside, if you could have one lynch today regardless of how tough it was to convince everyone, who would it be and why?

@July: What are your thoughts on Hilt?

@Hilt: Thoughts on TCAT vs July. Also your thoughts on what Panta just said when he boarded your wagon.

@TCAT: I know you didn't answer it when J asked you but I want it answered now. If you couldn't have the July lynch who would you pick because most everything that you've said since replacing in pertains to tunneling July. Plus, if you're so inclined to think AM mafia-slipped why are you continuing to pressure anyone other than them.

@Acrostic: Stop changing your goddamn avatar. Also, read on J. Is his inability to understand your simple explanation regarding your past read on RR a scumtell, or is he just dumb?
