In mafia games you're typically wrong so I could care less what you think. Just because you think you've got **** figured out [which in 90% of the cases you're wrong about] doesn't mean you can nudge me and think to get a telling reaction from that. Safe that for newbie games.You played sloppy, Gheb.
I think you outed your scummates too.
Where's Swiss on your list? I know you know him better than most of us. Are you open to Swissscum too?J, Nabe likely scum. Am open to the idea of Ghebscum and Mentosscum
Well that's interesting. Gheb's making spiderwebs that lead nowhere.Hmmm, I will definitely not be on when deadline hits. ScumKuz flip leading to scumZen sounds extremely knee-jerky and needs to be looked into deeper than that but I guess it's a lead.
Would like to know what townKuz flip will give us too.

Well this is kind of a solid post... that again distances from Zen. Gheb had this planned for a while, it seems.It seems that recently people have come to think that assuming an erratic, guru-like play style is pro-town because it confuses people and "demasks" more genuine emotions. X1 did it in Youtube Memes but I don't think it's effective...it worked this one time because Kuz was a new player then but now it's just annoying and won't help anyone. Actually, it takes really little commitment and is completely impossible to work with later in the game so I'm going to treat Zen's play as null - there's no commitment in his game but no gain either.
It doesn't make sense for town to play.
But it sure as hell doesn't make sense for scum to play either.
People should ignore it. I mean I do understand Tom when he complains about Zen speaking for him. Tom has always been his own character so it doesn't surprise me. I still feel the need to stay that making something useless the center of our talk will not yield useful results either.
If you keep on feeding him with responses you will give him the feeling that he's successful. If you want to stop that, stop giving responses. It will amount the same in the end.
To be honest, I don't think I've actually gained a legit read out of these interactions. I have some vague reads but they are coming from somewhere else and I hope all this talk abound Zen will not subdue other avenues of discussion.

To be fair? My posts for most of this Day were pressuring a Townie that was lying.Overswarm, please stop posting. Your last couple of posts are a complete eyesore and nothing but a caricature of scumhunting.

For those that haven't been scum often, the best way to be "pro town" is to tell truths and half-truths that people can't actually agree with. This is fluff, plain and simple.No, it's not. It's just a Metaphor.
A guru is not only somebody who's in possession of wisdom and knowledge but also somebody who appears to be on a "higher level" to the point where people fail to understand him and have to draw their own conclusion from erratic utterances - if you like, you can compare it to Rafiki, from the Lion King. He's highly regarded for his wisom and knowledge but oftentimes people have no idea what he's trying to get at and if he ever bothers to explain you wouldn't get much out of that either. Whether you realize it or not [I believe you do] that's exactly the image you have invoked. In fact, I'm not even the only who thinks so because mentos agreed with my stance on your play way earlier in the game and the terminology didn't seem bother him at all. On the contrary, if you look at his latest posts he seems to agree. So you can't just say that I'm wrong and leave it at that.

This is an aside-Kuz talk about any two of Gheb, OS, Chibo.
DH talk about any two of Adum, Mentos and FF
Post Gheb scum flip:I think everybody except me, Zen, X1, Gova and OS is a viable lynch atm =/

Oh, and mentos.*ebwop*
And mentos

J's red flag.Any questions from anyone?
Whoa, Zen again? That's weird. I got a red flag from J after singling in on Gheb who was bringing attention to Zen, then J comes in out of nowhere and says "I LIKE ZEN" and then votes for Gova out of ****ing nowhere?Kay, Zen's town and I am 100% more comfortable with handholding with him.
DH is meh and I'm not confident in putting a vote on him.
Vote: Gova
Good with putting a vote here. Hmm I wonder what this will do.
Go Questions Go.
I feel like scum is currently: Gheb, J, GovaKay, reason I asked is because I have not made absolutely one substancial post this entire game and was seeing if anyone had anything pressing.
I find it odd that all three of you did not say anything to the vote I placed on Gova without any explanation which should have struck some people as odd. After my complete re-read there is nothing you would like to know? Why? I want people to ask me questions because this game is pretty much dead.
I've replaced into games before and got a flood of questions. So it's a scum-tell to ask people if they have any questions? Oh Zen my boy you are silly this game.
Zen,
FF = Scum
DH = Scum
Gova = Scum
Where does J = Scum? What if DH flips town? What does that do to all your reads and who should be looked at next?
lol @ pairings.Dark Horse, talk about Gova
Gheb, talk about Chibo
Gova, talk about Gheb
Chibo, talk about J
Kuzi, talk about Dark Horse
FF, talk about OS
Adumb, talk about FF
OS, talk about Adumb
Mentos, talk about Zen
I can't remember the other people in this game atm.
Gheb's pushing DH hard. I bet he goes for a DH lynch today, amirite?I can't help but think you are scum. You say he "forced" you to claim which is already false because nobody would feel forced to claim at -4. Why didn't you check the votecount before you actually claimed to see if he's telling the truth or not? Why a townie would just claim right away to clear himself before considering the circumstances is beyond me,
And really, the fact that you messed up your name claim doesn't help you. Not only did you fail to check the vote count but you also failed to check your own role PM? These are like the most fundamental things regarding a claim and you failed to do both correctly?

This post confused me for a while, until I realized Zen was just an easy Town target. This is the fluff he posted before, just with Zen's name in it. I liked this post from scum, so GJ @ Gheb. Good distancing from Zen; were you setting him up to be the fall guy after the eventual death of a scum member?Zen, I just like to remind you that your play has accomplished absolutely nothing, just as I predicted at the beginning of the day. You have done nothing that gives you the right to point your finger at others.
Ignoring him would've been the way to go. Now we have to deal with WIFOM muck and highly questionable connections regardless of his flip. If we end up lynching him I will certainly not take any connection he left into account because there's no solid logic behind anything he left whatsoever. At least ignoring him wouldn't have sidetracked us like this.

Null, but laughed because being a hawkeye on the timer is generally considered a scum tell. XDRemember just over 48 hours I believe.
Zen agaaaaaaaaain.Being caught faking a posting restriction means nothing to me. It's not some BS like UTD has pulled of in Discworld and there's no potential harm in it whatsoever. I've stated before that kuz can die [in my "phenomenal" post] though.
Chibo, one huge problem I have with you isn't that Zen is your main target ... it's that you appear to be completely blinded to everything else. I have no idea what you think about anybody EXCEPT Zen - if you were to die the only thing I'd learn is that you've tunneled Zen, Zen and Zen again all day. You only made 1 post about J on request and it's telling is virtually nothing.
![]()
Here it is again! This is in response to kuz saying "lynching me before I claim is a mistake".Based on how you've played this game so far that's kind of hard for me to believe.

I had this and a few others of FF posted to give town points to FF, but he's dead now so I'm deleting most of them.Whoops missed this:
Yeah I went back and read each post Swiss referenced while reading his little comments on each of them. Nothing really jumped out as particularly odd. Didn't agree with all of his comments 100% but nothing glaringly strange.
Also @ Swiss eh, idk really what questions to ask at this point. W/e though, I don't need you on my side. I'm different this game. Feelin' naturally scummy, so gotta play different ya know?
@ Nabe/J: Top scum picks if kuz comes up scum? And top picks if he flips town?
This doesn't have much to do with my read, I just lawled at Gheb kicking Kuz when he's down. This is just Gheb continuing to push for a Kuz lynch.Kuz, I can still not follow your logic and you made no attempts to help it in regards to the Chibo / Mentos issue. This solidifies the idea that you're being very inconsistent - not just in your personal playstyle but in the way you're trying to convince us of what is best in your eyes. I mean, how do you expect us to follow your read on mentos when you can't even show us any concrete arguments?
The fact that you're not backing up these claims leads me to believe that you're not actually as convinced as you should be and that you're just looking for a way out of the mess you've left.
![]()
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's the foil.Are you seriously telling me that you are entertaining the idea of lynching a yet to be un-CC'd doc?
Are you willing to gamble such a powerful PR?
Such conviction!I'm not going to let this lynch go through.
DH, you are useless besides your PR and would die without it. Vote Mentos and get off kuzi now. He can protect you otherwise you most likely WILL die tonight and thus hurt town even more. Do you see the risk yet? Please tell me I don't have to beat this into your skull.
GRRRRRR!That is such a far-fetched role....
Get someone else to lynch kuz, cuz I will NOT hammer him. I would rather NL then lynch a claimed doc on D1.
*drops more bags of rocks and rings more bells*I'm astounded we are still entertaining lynching a claimed doc.
YesssssssssssWell, previewed post to find that Kuz might have been hammered. Anyways, here are my some of my stances/thoughts.
OS - town
Gheb - town
Kuz - town (for his claim only)
DH - town (for his claim only)
Zen - town, moving him up because I agree with his stance of FF
Swiss - null
Nabe -null, right now anyways.
J - I didn't really like the way he came into the game after being V/LA. Like someone pointed out earlier he just came in and asked others to ask him questions and it felt to me like he was trying to make some people look bad when they just ignored him. I thought he would be scum if Kuz is because of his defence of Kuz saying he was bad at D1 play but that fell through now that he has claimed Doc. I guess he's null to me for now.
Chibo - I could possibly see being scum. Zen asking for Kuz to name claim wasn't scummy, at least to me it wasn't but the motives for asking weren't clear and so it was a great chance to determine Zen's alignment off it but it got muddled by his I think his 109. I can't see any reason for Zen to be scum other than that and so I feel like he was just trying to get Zen lynched because it was easy to.
X1 - I get the feeling he knows more that he should. He called Kuz out as being town earlier and it just made me uneasy. The flip flop with Kuz doesn't really help either.
FF - From his posts, I get the feeling he is more focused on defending himself than he is with scum hunting. I get the feeling he knew Zen's alignment before hand and I didn't like the way he tried to make it look like Zen was faking a posting restriction.
Mentos - The same reasons I decided to stay on Kuz after voting him in RVS, I can't tell what he thinks about anyone.
For the Kuz paragraph, just becuase that is something he would do has no effect on his alignment. Also, I read that game and Kuz fake hammered there if IIRC which is way different than actively avoiding the thread and lying as town.
For the Swiss paragraph, that seems hypocritical of you especially since you didn't make a catch up post so I can't tell what you think of the early part of the day whereas he at least said what he thought on some of the posts.
How? I haven't played FF2 before.
Votes townie. Noted.Unvote Vote: FF
This is fine with me actually.
Seems null. Gova is either town or playing well as scum.Lol Kuz, what happened to you is similar what happened to me in AIM mafia when I claimed cop and got lynched even though I was un'cced. It was because I was scummy to everyone else. The scummiest person gets lynched and I don't know why you thought it would be good to play scummy.
Back to gheb.FoS Overswarm
Stop trying to make info available for the mafia they shouldn't have. They know already way more than they should know.
![]()
Because town has a lot of newer players and few mid level players, and most don't like to go back and reread the entire game. Some won't even go through 24 pages like me to read through the first Day! :Blol Overswarm your post totally makes no sense to me. How can I not be in favor of lynching somebody without a claim? SWF mafia relies way too much on claims and power roles - why else do you think scum has had such enormous winning streaks?
![]()
I'm taking note of this. I didn't pay enough attention to Mentos, who J keeps mentioning. Mentos could be cleared or damned based on J's statements but I don't know enough. Just mentioning there is a J/Mentos connection.Where has Mentos taken a stance this game yet, person who should be ignored?
I feel a bus coming on.Eh, I think J is scummy regardless of kuz' flip and how do you get townKuz = Scumtosman?
Totally agreed @J but I think it's already worth noting how he failed to logically compromise townZen and townChibo in his analysis, which doesn't make sense to me [and still nobody has explained].
Unvote Vote Kuz
![]()
Gova, talk about me.
Usually you can read me well though (aimmafia albeit) this is our first forum game together disregarding your first newbie game.
I can't meta you off of aim mafia! Everything there happens in real time so it's easier to see your intentions when you're town or scum. In forum, scum have plenty of time to mask their intentions and it makes everyone more difficult to read.
*narrows eyes*Then just talk about me Gova.
It doesn't have to be solely on meta, make it about my play this game.
There's the bus!Vote J

I thought it was interesting actually. I didn't notice that Gheb and J were acting as juxtapositions to each other. My question though is, are the flip implications only linear? Like for example could J -> Me, Gheb, Me -> Gheb, J, Gheb -> J, Me? Because if it is linear are you're setting town up for at least 1 mislynch. This is all going on the fact that Gheb is scum it seems like, but what if Gheb/J/ gets lynched today and is town? What happens to your plan then?J, Gova? What do you think about my post? :B
The first line is very true.Gova = very cleverly positioned false lead
Their night kill, a claimed power role, and Gova. Gova just keeps coming up for some reason.
Why I think Scum Frozen on Scum-DH: http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=12074264&postcount=256
Me town on Scum DH: I want DH lynched.
X1 town on DH scum: He wants DH lynched.
Town Kuz because DH and Kuz aren't scummbuddies. They would not have interacted as they did in the beginning. And Kuz would have renived his DH vote. Though I think it could be scum Kuz and DH town. I don't think they are aligned though.
Scum Gova because you wont lynch DH.
Zen,
FF = Scum
DH = Scum
Gova = Scum
Where does J = Scum? What if DH flips town? What does that do to all your reads and who should be looked at next?
I don't even want to look at that or respond to that. That's just the dumbest, most braindead, misleading, idiotic, pathetic, most typical for you post that you could've made.People that would kill FF N1 in this game:
OS, Gheb, Swiss
Oops. Haha running jokes are cool. :B
"But FF is a good player!"
To those that know him. Most of the players here haven't played much of a game with him, and what WE would be scared of is FF at LYLO. At the end game where there aren't as many pieces, he's good at rearranging them and is one of the few players that is actually willing to reread an entire game.
To everyone else? He's ONE of the good players... with 19 posts. Hardly the player to really change the flow of the game. With so many roles claimed, it is unlikely a FF night kill would be determined by anyone other than the three I listed above. I'm town. You're scum. Believe Swiss is town.
That's mostly conjecture after the fact, I made the post below before the Day phase happened and didn't know FF's flip. Just confirms my suspicions.
No, I'm just trying to actually play this game instead of playing by the mechanics like a ******. Since when is asking for connections and leads shortly before the night phase "making spiderwebs that lead nowhere"? Not only are you completely wrong on this but you've also completely misconstrued the point because I'm not trying to solidify a point but I actually question it.Well that's interesting. Gheb's making spiderwebs that lead nowhere.
This caught my attention, since it says this:
Scumkuz flip -> scumZen = False
Townkuz flip = ????
Scumkuz flip = soft pressure zen
Who the **** are you arrogant douchebag to spread lies about what I love doing? I am one of the player who hates stuff like "I told you so"'s and I will almost always be after the people who only slightly show any such attitude. If you put words in my mouth then at least be correct about it or back it up, you hypocrite.Gheb knew Kuz's alignment prior to Kuz's flip and set up that to NOT lead to Zen.... by being the person to bring it to everyone's attention.
Really?
Gheb deliberately protects Zen in such a way that they are connected while simultaneously bringing attention to Zen, increasing chances of his lynch. ESPECIALLY post Gheb flip, and upon Zen's flip Gheb would get to be huffy and say "I told you so" (he loves doing that).
Cool story, bro.Well this is kind of a solid post... that again distances from Zen. Gheb had this planned for a while, it seems.
And this is why you're a bad player. Because you have no willingness to compromise and stick to ******** principles that any experienced mafia player will tell you is not an absolute. There are numerous examples of lying having major pro-town outcomes. Why don't you ask mentos about Omni's fantastic lie in the original FFVII mafia that prevented the mafia from making a juicy NK all game. That's some of the smartest manipulation of a townie and it was a flat-out lie.Red flag! Gheb again indicates that he knows Kuz's alignment. Why would you NOT lynch all liars? That is the very foundation of strong town play. You catch someone lying, they are scum, you lynch them. It's the only way to do more than guess with reads.
Except that I never ****ing ever post fluff and I would've not made this post had Zen not particularly asked about it. And the first sentence is wrong on so many levels...For those that haven't been scum often, the best way to be "pro town" is to tell truths and half-truths that people can't actually agree with. This is fluff, plain and simple.
Alright let's look at this.Gheb's pushing DH hard. I bet he goes for a DH lynch today, amirite?
Look, all of Gheb's reasoning here is pretty shallow, but acceptable for a townie. DH made it easy to do so with some piss poor performance. I suggest everyone read his play in FF6 Mafia as Cyan, Town Roleblocker. It mimics this entirely. Dark Horse is just an easy target, and Gheb is going for it.
More like, I just re-emphasized the one point I was right about since the beginning of this game [u jelly?]. Zen was - in terms of scumhunting - very much useless [no offense] as he's evidently been wrong on 2/3 of his suspects.This post confused me for a while, until I realized Zen was just an easy Town target. This is the fluff he posted before, just with Zen's name in it. I liked this post from scum, so GJ @ Gheb. Good distancing from Zen; were you setting him up to be the fall guy after the eventual death of a scum member?
A good player would've considered the how and the why at this point and not've seen this issue in black and white.Zen agaaaaaaaaain.
Now here's a disconnect I noticed though: Gheb has argued vehemently against me and everyone else about a Kuz lynch, despite all of us having pretty much the same reasoning.... then says "Kuz can die"? None of this makes sense unless Gheb knew his alignment in advance.
If I remember correctly, you were trying to get Chibo's mason partner to claim, no? Yeah, that's making info available for the mafia they shouldn't have at that point.This confused me, because I didn't make any info available to mafia. I used basic logic. You can go back and read the exchange if you want.
[qoute]There's the bus![/QUOTE]I feel a bus coming on.
Wow, shut up with that BS.Also Gova or Nabe simply need to claim Mason.
1.) I've been likely the first player to voice issues with J and the first to openly call him scum on D1Gheb I actually didn't haha. But it looked long and thought out.
It doesn't really matter how OS came to the conclusion because you're scum any way.
I mean just look at your play from today. You started out with a J push from no where.
And then put blame on me for the two town deaths and then asked me for new reads when I've been saying all through twilight that J and Nabe are scum and that Frozen maybe was. Your post was so planned out.
Wrong on both, read above.You needed to get that J bus in. And you needed to find blame on the two town deaths. Neither of which I'm responsible for. Yet you chose me.
See Rockin? Legitimate strategy.Overswarm, you can go suck a ****. Your "case" on me contained at least one personal insult against my person. If it makes you feel happy: yes, you did hit a nerve because you blatantly undermined the autonomy of my thought process. If that's the way you hunt scum then I suggest you to get the hell out of dGames and never come back here again.
