Huge post incoming!
Red: Sold2's thoughts on the game.
Normal font color: My thoughts on the game.
This is a massive post. You do not have to read this part of the post although I would recommend doing so if you would read the entire post to gain the maximum amount of information from it but that's just me. A vote will follow at the very end of this post.
@Gotenks: You say that you have no solid reads aside from Morarity. What do you think of Regal Cheese and Spaghebti? Both side of this hydra finds those two scummy.
@CottonLicky: Unless I am wrong, you are still self-voting. I see no purpose in doing this as town, so place your vote on one of your suspects.
@Morarity: I'll repeat smarboy69's question if you missed it before. Who do you suspect and why? Who should we look for if you get lynched today as scums in your wagon?
tHe-Man said:
Okay, RVS is over. Don't continue it. It serves no purpose.
Probably Xonar speaking, but this comes off as a scum tell to me. If it was Ryker, I would consider him my first suspet for this. Not exactly a major worry, just something I want to note.
This bugs me. It's nice that you are trying to end RVS with RQS (Which unlike most people, I don't disapprove of), but we don't need to announce that it's over, it can resolve itself by people commiting scum tells during the RVS, which mind you, should end as soon as possible. This comes off as mildly scummy to me.
tHe-Man said:
Everyone, what say you to a policy lynch on the hydra you think is going to be a question mark in end game through lack of contribution? Yes, that is a fancy way to say lurker, but FF/OS beat us to the word and we want to be semi-original here.
See my #348.
Peach Monster said:
You seem to have the necessity to say that tHe-Man is buddying. Getting a scum vibe out of this post.
That is hardly buddying. Asking people RQS questions if they want to be friends is not something I could easily consider buddying. Now if it was a latter post with more substantial evidence of buddying then I could see that, but I don't think it's a good idea to start assuming that people are buddying due to a RQS question.
Regal Cheese said:
K. So we've decided to lynch people that we find scummy, and then if there is no-one scummy, lynch an inactive.
This is an innovative style of play, I am sure no town has employed this before.
You are far from the only person who has supported this idea. And I'm sure people have supported this idea long before you started to play Mafia. Looks like a weak attempt at gaining town creds early on.
Regal Cheese said:
Was I really accusing you of scumminess? In RVS?
'Course I was.
We're you referring to
this post?
If that's the case, then what about this post is scummy? All I saw was a RVS vote that was on Peach Monster, not CottonLicky. You're really reaching with this.
CottonLicky said:
Regal, which of your halves made your confirmation post?
What can we gain from this that can help town? To me, all I see is accomplish is that you added filler to #115. I don't like how you made it look like it had more merit then it really did.
Regal Cheese said:
Both of those answers should be painfully obvious.
Smarboy, would you be happy to lynch the-man right here, right now? Is the case justification for a lynch, or do you want pressure put on him?
hurr durr
What are you going to gain from the safe but aggressive questions? You're attacking a case that's taking us out of RVS. Currently disliking you at the moment.
XSword said:
You don't like moving out of RVS this fast, so what do you think of tHe-Man for deciding we weren't in RVS anymore, and what do you think of them saying any more RVS 'serves no purpose'?
You blatantly twisted Gotenks's words here and a poor job at it.
@ForeverZero (
#127): Nice IIOA there. What does that accomplish aside from the act that there are inactives as of that time?
@Regal Cheese (
#128): The majority of that post is fluff. Also, you completely avoided Chuckie's second question:
Chuckie said:
Could u also explain how remembering this is a game "full of experienced players and hydras" affects smarboy's thoughts on he-man in anyway?
Why is it that hard to answer?
Regal Cheese said:
*Sniff*
*Sniffs*
Unvote Vote XSword
Hate this post a lot. You give no explanation on why you think XSword was scummy and you didn't even say you agreed with anyone.
Regarding #138-#139, I agree with GorditoBoy69 more then XSword. The logic that XSword has been spewing out is something I would expect out of myself, but XSword is doing this today instead of near end game. I haven't like XSword much at all while I believe GorditoBoy69 to be much better.
I would vote XSword for #146. You're accusing Smarboy69 of tunneling yet by the looks of it, you seem to be tunneling harder then him.
@XSword #148: You're acting like the posts significantly changed all the posts. Why does it matter if smarboy69 didn't ask the question?
ForeverZero said:
Stop bickering. There's plenty of information needed to be seen, and your back and forth doesn't help. I don't think anyone believes we've exhausted the day, regardless of if they believe X1 is the play.
This is odd to me. Why does them making cases against each other not help? It gathers information and it's a good discussion to have. It seems like you're trying to be a peacemaker here.
Cotton Licky said:
Aha the second one is, the first is not. If it's so obvious could you just answer the dam question
?
I know that this isn't directed at me, but still..
The first question is absolutely useless. Like I said before, nothing positive gets accomplished by answering that question. The second question I agree with Regal Cheese on, that can be answered by just reading the thread.
Morarity said:
That doesn't answer ForeverZero's question at all.
Morarity said:
Nice OMGUS there. Gotenks asked you to be semi-useful and you responded with a faceplam. That not something I see from a townie.
Regal Cheese said:
Chuckie talk to me. Feels like we're playing our own game here. Answer my questions, then maybe I'll explain wtf I wrote. *Teaser* Smarboy choking = Smarfail. Jesus. gogogogogogogoog
The irony of this post. You're wanting Chuckie to answer your question, yet I have not seen you answer Chuckie second question in
#122. I thought the question was pretty valid.
Spaghebti said:
so i think regal is town and raises some good points
You convincing us that Regal Cheese is town would be a good show to watch. As of this post, I have not saw anything from Regal Cheese that indicates them being town (Maybe
#118, but it's not a signficant town tell either) and the majority of things I've seen from then I think are more likely to come from scum.
Regal Cheese said:
Wait, you think Smarboy is scummy? Forgot to place your vote amirite? Better to make a funny wagon instead, yah.
Reading Chuckie's post I have seen no mention of Smarboy being genuinenly scummy in their opinion. Please provide evidence of this or kindly shut up until you find something legitimate to work on. I would also like to inform you that the rest of
#162 adds nothing in town favor, it's just fluff.
ForeverZero said:
If people keep treating Moriarty like JPsi, I will too.
@mod request replacement for Moriarty
Let's see if they're comparable?
You are really hammering on Morarity being the focus of today but I'm not sure how much I like this. If anything it will lead to a lynch on Morarity where the only thing we get is the death of an difficult to read player.
First off, you didn't even bother to answer a simple question from Chuckie.
Secondly, it makes you look like a hypocrite. You went after Morarity for not answering simple question but by not answering Chuckie's question, you are guilty of the exact same accusstion.
CottonLicky said:
Swiss stop ignoring questions. I don't think you ever answered Licky's.
This is one of the occassions when calling people out for not answering questions is not a good idea. Tell me, why did you expet Regal Cheese to answering which side of the hydra confirmed? I see no scum hunting coming out of it, nothing gets accomplished.
Regal Cheese said:
Itchin' to OMGUS this fool.
Yes, OMGUS will help us find scums and is productive in town's favor [/sarcams]
Morarity said:
I think we need to note this picture. Morarity-scum could be using the FoS: Scumbuddy, Vote: Townie manuver here on Regal Cheese. If one of them flip scum, the other should be looked at harshly(As I have a scum read on both of them).
Morarity said:
Can you at least explain your vote on spaghebti. I somewhat agree with the target, but I simply detest when people vote for absolutely no reasons.
Morarity said:
You're going to need a much better defense then showing off meta. And your meta defense is really poorly executed anyway because you were lynched Day 1 for you play there.
Morarity said:
Hello, you were lynched Day 1 there because your play was absolutely terrible.
Morarity said:
Is this an agreement that your play style is nearly impossible to read? If that's the case, then haven't you considered changing your play style to where it will actually help town?
Morarity said:
What are you even trying to say?
Regal Cheese said:
Would like to see more content from Spag. Don't like such a lack of content then a buddying post then a "Survival" post. Wants to know why he's being voted, all defensive imo. Where's the bullets? Get shootin'
That's rich coming out of you. Up to this point, a lot of your posts have been fillers that make very little sense or posts I find to be scummy.
Regal Cheese said:
At best you're distractin' and that ain't pro townie - that earns a frownie.
Let me just say to you that I find your play style a lot more distracting then Chuckie's play. You have no right to call Chuckie on that when people have a somewhat difficult time reading your posts.
Spaghebti said:
idk i think cheese is town
why do yu think hes not
Then provide a solid explanation on why Regal Cheese is town. So far, you have failed to give us an adequate explanation that is convincing enough to make us think that Regal Cheese is town.
Spaghebti said:
unvote vote the man for his 288
answering questions later
You have done nothing all day but BS around. Now you are voting tHe-Man for a case that I think is the best case made so far.
@Regal Cheese (#296): While I do agree that he shouldn't have quoted the RVS, but the point is that other then than what you pointed out, you have been useless in this game and you step-sided the entire case.
Regal Cheese said:
Gotenks - scum. Want Moriarty flipped as I think they're aligned. (Like I pretty obviously said, btw, try readin'). Complete null on Moriarty. Moriarty town flip helps Gotenks majorly. Thus considering Moriarties usefulness I want him lynched, not Gotenks (yet).
How is Morarity going to help Gotenks look more town? If anything, Morarity flipping town would make him look scummier. I would also think Gotenks is more likely to flip town if Morarity is scum since Gotenks has been pushing for Morarity lynch hard. You and Morarity being scum is more likely possibility due to my scum reads on you and Morarity's #205, which I perceive as him-scum doing FoS: Scumbuddy, Vote: Townie on you
Regal Cheese said:
The-man - No comment on alignment. Dislike how canned and pathetic the ISO was. Feels forced, g'wan after someone who hasn't had a lotta ppl pressurin' them maybe? EZ scum tactic, but a fair play by a townie who thinks they have something. ISO feels forced. Ryker isn't dumb. Don't think Ryker would think the ISO was top notch and a bottle of scotch.
This is fence-sitting. "I thought the ISO was pathetic, but it could be Xonar being stupid." That's basically your thought on him. Let's say Ryker did do the ISO, would you think he's scum?
Regal Cheese said:
Pretty sure me being obnoxious is a town tell. Amirite?
No it isn't. If anything, I find it scummy as it makes you hard to read. Scums do not want to be read because they want to make sure they can skate by with their play and coast to victory. You are not going to gain any town points for playing in an obnoxious way, especially if makes you as scummy as you are.
Regal Cheese said:
Wanna see your flip. Muchos.
If you want Chuckie to flip so badly, why not park your vote on him since you find him legitimately scummy?
Regal Cheese said:
Wanna see your flip, fo' shiz. Wantin' ya dead 'cuz it'd be hilarious 'n I'm not likin' ya as pro town. Might not have a scum read on ya yet but a man can hope for a vig read soon. No cage can hold such a troublesome toddler. Gawd.
Once again, you declare you want Chuckie dead. But you also you do not have a scum read on Chuckie. Why are you asking for his head chopped off if you do not have a scum read on the hydra?
Spaghebti said:
nah i got a null read on mory tbh its just tht there are scummier ppl (ie the man) + hes kinda useful actualy.
Reading this and your past argument for why Regal Cheese is town, I remain completely unconvinced that he's useful by any means.
Cotton Licky said:
If you would read Gotenks ISO, you would see that they support Morarity for the play and possibly Regal Cheese/Spaghebti.
Regal Cheese said:
'cuz I havnae a clue wtf is g'wan on wit ya, feel like you'rea tunnel me 'till wan of us dies, plus having you die is ALWAYS amusin'.
Do I need to point out the hypocrisy in this post?
Summerization:
Now this is the part we would like for you to read. It contain what we basically think of the game so far.
Sold2's Summerized Thoughts on the Game:
I think that Morarity should be the play for today. I will not deal with a player who only say about six things in phrases; as such, it's futile to try to gain a read on the player. I really don't care if we can get his message or he could be helpful, I will not try to see if he's scum or not due to his difficulties of trying to get a read on him. He's wasting our time that can be used to lynching people with legitimate scum tells that points to them being scums.
My second and third choices are Spaghebti and Regal Cheese respectively.
My Summerized Thoughts on the Game:
(Assuming three scums in the game)
Everyone who isn't mentioned below I have either a town or a null read on, thought a scum might be hiding in there.
In the group of {CottonLicky, Morarity, Regal Cheese, Spaghebti, XSword}, I'm 99% positive that at least one scum is in this group, but it's more likely two scums and I wouldn't be surprise if all three are scums as well.
CottonLicky I'm currently undecided on. He started out scummy where he coasted by while not really adding that much to discussion. I found the "Which side of the Regal Cheese" hydra absoutely useless and added nothing in terms of scum hunting. So far, I have yet to see a proper justifiacation for that. He also has a few posts where it looks as he is not reading the thread properly. That being said, his recent play resemble more of a pro-town player with stronger contributations, attacking his suspect more clearly and more aggressively, and shows town motivations to help find scums. But I would also request for them to vote someone that isn't themself. You have three to four suspects, put your money where it is and vote them, not yourself.
I am slightly suspicious of XSword although it's not a completely solid read. I can see where people are coming from with the case on XSword, although aside from his mass parroting on #123, I haven't noticed someone on my own that is really scummy. Still he has been flying under the radar recently, which is hypocritical of him as he called out CottonLicky for the same thing in the middle of the game, so I will be keeping an eye out for him.
First major suspect I want to mention is Spaghebti. He active lurked throughout the entire day. He's either covering his *** defending his "Morarity is null, Regal Cheese is town, and tHe-Man is scum" read or not doing anything to help town. For days, he deliberately decided to not tell why he didn't want to lynch Morarity/Regal Cheese. When he finally does, his explanation is a load of **** that doesn't convince me at all that Morarity/Regal Cheese is more likely to be town then scum. Would like for him to be dead in the next few days as I get a pretty solid scum read off of him.
The second major suspect for me is Morarity. Me suspecting Morarity is not due to policy, but that I actually think he is scummy enough to warrant a lynch. I agree with others in which he is absolutely useless and needs to die soon. The only reasons why I'm not immediately voting him is because I need to consult my partner and that I find another person to be my top suspect. I highly disliked his vote on Spaghebti, which was completely void of explanations. If Regal Cheese flips scum, the "Pay Attention, this is good stuff" picture could be a FoS: Scum Buddy, Vote: Townie manevuer that we should keep close eye for. Pure meta defenses are almost always bad, but his is exceptionally weak. For god sake's, he is linking to a game
where he was lynched Day 1 for his absymal play! Other things to note is that he avoid questions that we need to know, performs OMGUS on players who criticize his play, and some images are completely void of the word "sense". Yes I actually get a read on Morarity and yes it's a strong scum one.
My top suspicion is Regal Cheese. This hydra has generated a ton of fluff that doesn't belong and doesn't help town at all. This is probably the most hypocritical slot I have ever seen in the game of Mafia to the point where it hurts. Other reasons for lynching him is him dodging simple questions that can benefit town, poor attempts to gain town creds, not explaining why a post is scummy, misrepping other people, threats of commiting what most people call a scum tell (OMGUS), contradictions, showing desire for wanting Chuckie dead but not voting for the hydra and in recent posts, not calling the hydra scummy despite desire to lynch the hydra, claiming that being obnoxious is a scum tell, fence-sitting, and logic fallacy. Very little I have seen out of the hydra that I can consider to be coming from a townie I have a very strong scum read on Regal Cheese and he definently needs to die.
Final Conclusions:
Between the two of us, we have decided to lynch Morarity today, even thought I (SSBF) suspect Regal Cheese more. From what we have seen, Morarity will most likely not change their play to help town in any fashion whatsoever and to the point of mocking the town. My suspicion gap between Morarity and Regal Cheese is close and I'm willing to compromise lynching him for today as we still stand a good chance of lynching scum.
Vote: Morarity
