Well we got RR as the sandwhich lady, Raz as Gant, me as Klavier/Dahlia/Trucy/Apollo and I think that's it though I'm sporatic haha. And that's it for PW stuffs.

WK, thanks for explaining your RR read a bit. Can you tell me what you think of Dabuz' big post? Also, can you tell me what you think of Xastrn's pressure on RR?

@John: Top three scum picks; no weaseling out of this.
Top 3 scum picks:
1. Circus
2. OS
3. Red Ryu

I'd like to seem some of this thought process that you seem to think needs to be hidden.
My thought is: If it doesn't need to be known, and I do not have enough of a reason to post it, the information requested will stay with me. Don't want it coming back to bite me in the rear later on, one way or another.

Also, your vote on me is currently nothing more than an OMGUS. I need better reasoning than that from you.
Yes I voted early on you, but I have become very confident in the vote with the points that have been thrown around, in that you were lightning fast to latch on to me, and cry scum to the entire kingdom. You seemed almost overeager to have me voted on.

Are you new, John, or were you trying to make that post as scummy as ****ing possible?
I am relatively new, the two other Mafia games I've played were slightly different from this one, too.

Can't breathe, but the view is equal to the taste
What I think of dabuz is I need more but I do love that last post by him about Xastrn. Though how can I not? It's like someone making my favorite pasta dish and asking me, "Do you like this?" Dabuz gained some points with me buuuut, still needs more.
Oh, I didn't see that you had posted that. So you agree with dabuz' reasoning, then? Because I had a different but similar reaction to his post. I don't think his reasoning is very convincing, although it's getting there. What actually interested me is that I think I see dabuz trying to describe a gut scum read (the "do you know something that I don't" bit for example, where he says "why would someone clueless say this?").

Do you have anything else to bring to the table, i.e. could you make a short case of your own on Xastrn tomorrow? Or is your reasoning in full approximately 616 which you quoted here, in conjunction with dabuz' post?

Not wild nor wacky? I'm looking at it differently then because it's very wacky with the way some things are worded and how he describes some people. However, I thought I already did the elaborating on specific reads part?
You're right again, you definitely asked for specific elaborations. That's cool, although I think you did this more because you thought his reads were weird? I would just like more info. You also asked for elaboration on about 7 reads, where I was thinking more like 2/3 of XYZ as I said. Anyway, I guess I'm not reading correctly tonight.

Yeah, I have an understanding of why. Not wanting to post information is a big part of it. :/

Sure, you can investigate me.

Sorry about the recent inactivity. I've got a ****load of labs this week, and a midterm on Friday, so I won't have much time to post until then.

I still think Panta is the best lynch for toDay.

dabuz can go as well.

Solid is all right in my books.

John is noobtown, as is Frio.

I like Nabe.

Woooooo

Solid, I don't like your dislike of Kantrip. The guy was just giving a slightly cautious quick read list because he, you know, just replaced in.

Also, he was saying that I was in no lynch danger, so Ryu shouldn't have backed off, but he thinks that my reaction was understanable considering that I was at L-1 at one point. I don't see the contradiction there, and you're reaching.
I don't think Kantrip is necessarily scum at this point, I just don't like that post. If he comes back with some good explanations and some posts that stick out to him, then the vote may go away.

Solid, what is your read of Dabuz after reading his last post? Then tell me your opinion on Xastrn.
Dabuz is still a little cloudy in my mind. I think his case on Xastrn is decent at best, with some stretches (the first quote for example, I interpreted it to mean Xastrn thinks Raz has info, but I suppose it could be seen as how dabuz read it). A lot of it is a stretch, like calling him scum for giving compliments. Yeah, I could see how things could go that way, but it's a bit of a stretch in my mind. I think dabuz could be scum possibly, because his case has a lot of holes and he's been pretty cautious imo with his posting, but for now he's okay. Actually now that I reread the case I'm liking him less. I don't know about Xastrn though though. All his fluff makes my head spin, and I think I need to reread some of his other posts than the ones in the case. I'll get back to you this afternoon, gotta get ready for school.

Every single post inbetween my last post and this post made me facepalm. Every one. I am literally having trouble deciding who should die because there are too many options.

WK, Circus, Solid, J, X1-12, Xastrn, Nabe, John, RR, Dabuz, Kantrip, and TB

11 players out of 14 for you OS?

That is a lot of options.

Nabe are you here for a bit? I'd like to have a little back and forth with yous ince I have nothing else to do in my break class.

Hmm, well I could bring things to the table that have gone on but I don't really see the need to present a case persay when most of what I think of Xastrn has been said in that one post. If I do make a case, it will purely be an inflation of what I have already said. Unless you want that and that's why you're asking...?

Could you explain what's interesting about Dabuz trying to explain a gut-scum read? Can I also get your opinion on John/OS? I think I get a jist of what you are thinking but I need to ask to make sure. I also want to ask you, what do you think of the Raz/TB interactions? How do they strike you?

One last thing, what do you make of this post Nabe? Specifically what he said about the cop investigation, is it telling or are you thinking otherwise?

Can go:
15
5
3(meh)
6
10(ish)
13
4

I'd also like to see Nabe, RR, WK, and Raz to arrange these numbers in a specific way. They are in no order for me but they do hold significance to players on the roster so please be careful. The way I'd like to be arranged is top numbers = go to go/be lynched to bottom numbers = i'm more or less okay with them for now and can live for more info.

Is it scummy to you, OS, that he does that? I mean, to be fair, you haven't done much significance besides your introduction of the FB lynch and the data. I'd like to see some scum-picks from you.

Like I said, if your reasoning is just what you've already said in conjunction with dabuz' reasoning, then I don't really care. But, a nice neat conglomeration case would help the lynch along.

Could you explain what's interesting about Dabuz trying to explain a gut-scum read? Can I also get your opinion on John/OS? I think I get a jist of what you are thinking but I need to ask to make sure. I also want to ask you, what do you think of the Raz/TB interactions? How do they strike you?
It's interesting because scum generally don't have gut-scum reads, and because dabuz otherwise seems to be a player I'd have trouble reading.

John is scummy but not in my mind for today's lynch. OS, idk. When he takes readable actions I should have something to say about him.

No clue on Raz/T-block. Apparently they're generally pretty close. On an individual basis since we've seen no flip on either, Raz is scummy and T-block is an absentee.

One last thing, what do you make of this post Nabe? Specifically what he said about the cop investigation, is it telling or are you thinking otherwise?
It's null. If John is scum, he's likely not communicating effectively with his team.

dabuz, I appreciate what you're working on with your case against me but it's like swiss cheese.

Do you know something I don't is what ALL the players in this game are asking each other. I'm just more direct that many others. Subtlety is for scum. I'm going to ask what I mean and mean what I say. If I'm all out there, then no one will have to do any crazy guesswork if I'm killed later and they are looking for connections. that's why I almost never breadcrumb, too.

Did I miss something from the mod: at that point, there was 440 posts in the thread. It's quicker to ask than it is to reread the whole thread.

My response to J's "do you have a plan" was "no, I don't have a plan. I'm going to do what we all are doing and keep reading, asking questions, and look for a good lynch." I think of day 1 in maybe a unique way, but I'm looking for a lynch that will set us up for day 2 forward. It may or may not be the scummiest player at the current time. Circus has looked mad scummy, but most of us are coming around on him and thinking he's just an over-reacting town, you know? I can't just lynch someone who feels scummy on day 1. I need information from that flip. Otherwise, we'll have what we had in our most recent game in the broom (30 rock mafia) where we no lynched on day 1 and it haunted us throughout the whole game from then on. It was a nightmare.

I made comments about inactivity because it was specifically relevant to the question being asked. And I reiterated that inactivity is a huge pet peeve of mine in these games. The reason I'm in this game is because I was in several broom games in a row that were super inactive and pretty lame. I needed a GOOD mafia fix to make me feel better about mafia. D-Games are more active than broom games.

My post regardin the J history was intended to answer his question by referring to the two games we've played together. I pointed out specifically that both games, I was voting for inactives until they became active, and then backed off. I noticed that you didn't reference my post of "I voted for you immediately (J) because you had been inactive" as an opposite-AtE. You cherry picked one thing I said nice about how I saved J and won the game as an AtE and ignored the VERY NEXT SENTENCE that contradicted your idea about what I was trying to accomplish.

You are looking for subtle tricks, and I'm just not that guy.

I asked OS for the chart and he posted it. that doesn't mean that i was responsible for analyzing it out loud with everyone, does it? I love that chart, and I'd like OS to post updates every 48 hours or so, to keep it fresh for us. The purpose of that chart isn't to have secret private information. The purpose is to FORCE scum to talk to each other, and to force inactives to post, and to force passives to take stances. All three of those are pro-town, and they only happen if he POSTS the chart. do you see what I mean? You aren't looking deep enough at this. S'ok, you're relatively new, but I just want you to understand that you're looking for subtlety in exactly the wrong ways, and missing nuances of what's going on.

Look at his opinion on Circus, he is calling Circus slightly scummy, and would rather vote Circus over John/ Frio whom he believes with being scummy. I would be fine with this post if he didn't mention that he is unsure whether its slight scum or noob town tell or he didn't mention he also finds Circus scummy, especially for his reaction to people joing his wagon.

So, he called both sides scummy, looks like he doesn't want to take any stance here, but instead satisfy everyone by calling both the opposing parties scum.
This is really bad. I am allowed to think two parties who are bickering are both scummy, right? Have you ever heard of "bussing" before? Where scum attack each other so that if one flips, the other looks better. Not every argument is town vs scum. Sometimes it's TvT, or SvS. I felt like in that argument, that neither side was winning town points. So what do you want me to do? support one against the other? or give my HONEST assessment that both sides look bad?

Furthermore, I called BOTH sides scum. that's the opposite of "not wanting to take a stance" unless you are the type of thinker where you think every argument has a right and wrong, and one political party is completely right and one is completely wrong, etc. This is mafia. Everything is in shades of grey. ESPECIALLY on day 1.
I don't think he was thinking that until OS mentioned it, and found it easy to agree with OS since he already buddied with OS.
You're wrong, but nice try. You're case here was "i don't think he was thinking that..." If that's the best you got, then I don't mind ripping your arguments to shreds all day. It's like wrestling with a roll of toilet paper.

Regarding the interaction between J and I, yeah, I forgot to answer the "what do you want from John" question. Caught me forgetting to answer a question. SCUMSLIP!
I had expressed what I wanted from john twice before. I wanted him to post his reads, and tell me why he's not scum. At some point, I was satisfied with what he was doing, (even though he was on my scummy-ish list) and moved my vote to someone who I felt was specifically more scummy AND would give us more information on his flip: RR. Remember how day 1 lynches are all about information? RR gave us TONS of interactions to re-read on day 2 based on his flip, when he fake-claimed early. We can see all of that history after his flip, and come up with smart assessments about who might be likely scum partners or whatever depending on the flip.

So I had a combination of scummy and "gives me lots of info" in a RR lynch and I voted RR and asked the game to consider swinging away from circus, but leaving a circus vote on the table as a backup.

Why would I do that? I've stated my day 1 philosophy. Why would switching the backup from panta to circus be a part of my plan?

Yeah, difference being I don't have to do what you'd like. My abilities are going to come from my investigations after I learn people's races and from my interpretation of things when I decide to give them, not from wasting my time reading and posting useless drivel to appease others.

When I have time. I'm not too particularly interested in it at the moment, given that I have work and dark souls.

Ok, time to hit what I missed last night.
I've always been able to see that perspective. But it's a very shallow perspective, and thus is one that I would expect players like J and Raz and Dastrn not to adhere to so strongly. That's what frustrates me. I get why someone like John or Frio might think that's a good excuse to point a finger at me, but the vets should know better than to strike on things as dumb as "well, you're using some inflammatory language and not acting cool enough about being put at L-2 for no real reason as we think you should be." That's garbage.
I want to make clear that my issue with your reaction was not the emotion of it (hell, I get pissed sometimes too), but rather the means by which you attacked our suspicions. As J already pointed out, you didn't really attack the actual points, just inferred on our reasoning for making them.

This isn't really an issue now, since I'm feeling a bit better with you, but I wanted to touch on it.
I've actually disagreed with you on him for most of the Day. He's been coming off pretty town to me. But his sudden shift away from me and onto John looks fishy (which I'll get to in a sec). That, combined with his reasoning for voting me in the first place (me asking for Ryu's nameclaim) has me questioning my read. Him trying to turn that into a "gotcha" moment almost certainly says more about him than it does me.
I'd like you to explain to me why my shift was sudden. We headbutted for a bit, and the nature of the arguments was "You're dumb." "No, I'm not.", so I decided it wasn't going to go anywhere.

Second, I wouldn't say I switched ONTO John, because I placed no vote. I'm asking him questions to decided whether I want to or not. More on this later.

And third, I was not trying to turn you asking Ryu for a nameclaim into a "gotcha" moment. If I was, I'd have brought that up immediately in my initial attack.

Race is valuable information in this game. By consequence, so is name.

That's part of why I've got my eye on Circus asking for a nameclaim from Red Ryu.
Note the words "part of" and "got my eye on". There's nothing "gotcha" about that post.
@Raz: I'm not really sure how you could have been confused about whether or not I actually thought John was scummy. I posted a case full of links showing examples of my problems with him. I called him scum, as bluntly as possible, twice. Your response to me being "oh, so you actually think John is scum then? Oh my bad, we cool," is really weird. I don't see how this could have been unclear. The way you're suddenly flipping away from me and toward John now is a rather sudden left turn, from my point of view.
Already addressed this. Your problems with him weren't things that I considered completely scummy, which is why I asked.

Personally not liking Raziek much after seeing him talk with OS. Looking at the votecount I see 4 people with 2 or 3 votes on them, how 2 wagons could be pulled out of that I'm not sure.
I already hit the issue with the votecount (Nabe and I unvoting), but I want to bring attention to this lack of reasoning.

Why don't you like my interactions with OS? Because I challenge him, and he likes to push my buttons? Is there a particular reaction that made you think I was scummy? If so, why?
Raz, I don't like this line because there really hasn't been that much heat for Circus nor that much "constant back and forth". It seems like a cop-out to the pressure. Should I begin worrying now or later, buddy? =x
Again, already addressed this, but perhaps my wording was poor. Circus began to look like a dead end, so I moved.


I'd like people's reads on RR, please.
Slight scum. The actual content he's posted hasn't been terribly relevant, there's been too much focus on his actual gambit. I feel like I'm lacking many clear stances from him, though I haven't yet gone out of my way to look.
In fact, Nabe/Raz, can I get your thoughts on Kantrip's last post? Circus can too I guess but not really but maybe. (Circus, interpret that as you want)
Alright. I've done a full read-through, though at times my thoughts were all muddled and I got a headache because frankly: Nothing has been accomplished this game. The heat has been on new players for being... new? I mean, I'd need to be specifically shown what is scummy about posting very little and avoiding questions if you are new. I think if an inexperienced player got scum in their role PM they would know what that means and try to play very carefully, speaking when spoken to and the like. John and Frio and, to a lesser extent, Panta, do not seem scummy to me at all. Someone tell me what I'm missing if there's huge scumtells that aren't complete and utter WIFOM wrt newbie play.
This I actually partially agree with. I said earlier that I wasn't set on jumping on John, because he hadn't said enough for me to decide. At any rate, all three have been rather inactive.
1. Raziek - IGMEOY. Raz looks like town with jumbled thoughts who isn't thinking about everything they're saying right now. I don't like his recent posts, whereas he seemed fine in the early Day.
Which posts and why?
3. Overswarm - Whether OS is scum or not, I don't know. What I do know is that he's been helping town thus far and can live. I like the effort OS has been putting in to this game with lists and spreadsheets. I agree with a lot of what he's saying, especially his thoughts on the current "focuses".
J already covered why this is poor reasoning.
4. Xastrn (Dastrn/Xatres) - Meh, I don't really know. I'd need to read these posts again.
This is a cop-out if I've ever seen one. Re-read his posts and give me a stance on Xastrn.
5. ¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯ - My biggest scumpick at this point. I probably should have saved some posts for reference. I'll look back for them after I post this. I remember just plain not liking the content of solid's posts, and how he's reacted to people. It may have been a gut feeling when looking for intent in his posts.
Support this read.
7. Red Ryu - I don't like all the gif fooling around. The fakeclaim daycop gambit at the start of the game was amusing. I don't like how quickly RR backed off and fessed up, though. Werekill wasn't in any real danger of getting lynched unless someone stupidly hammered (and became the next lynch target because of it). RR could have been scum trying to look town with a "fakeclaim to get reads", and when the wagon got to L-2/L-1, RR got too paranoid and backed out before Werekill had even reacted. He covers this up later with "I wasn't trying to read Werekill". At this point I'll call it Red Ryu fooling around, but I'm gonna keep my eye on him. Leaning scum now, and will remain as such if the tomfoolery continues.
So fooling around = scum? I'm not seeing where this read comes from completely. People need to take Ryu's gambit for what it was, and focus on his current play, and why THAT is scummy.
9. Nabe - Nabe seems alright so far.
Why?
10. Circus - Not sure how I feel about Circus. I think he was just town reacting badly to pressure. He's either going to continue to react badly and get himself lynched, realize his mistake and play more townie, or his scummate set him straight in their quicktopic and he'll be playing more townie.
Already covered, but this is hella non-committal.
11. Werekill - I'm fine with Werekill. Reacting as he did was reasonable considering coming into the game and noticing a wagon lifting off and carrying him to L-1.

So you're labeling him full Town based solely on his reaction to a gambit he wasn't actually involved in to any extent? Gross. FoS: Kantrip
12. John2k4 - Reads as inexperienced town to me. Explained in my first paragraph.
I actually agree with this one.
14. J - I'm wondering about the Xastrn vote. Seems kind of strange for an "I'm fine with this vote" vote that he just dropped off and left there without any reasoning. Unless I missed the reasoning. Either way, J, I'd like to know why you voted Xastrn and why you're so content with your vote remaining there.
Solid nailed this, so points for that.
15. Frio - Same as John, though with less certainty.
Vote: SOLID
This vote is on a gut read and isn't supported. DO NOT WANT.
That character scares me...

._.

Raz, tell me why people don't like you. Could you also respond to the things I've asked you before I wake up or you busy too?
Probably because I make my thought process fairly transparent, so people actually SEE me changing my mind due to the fact that I post frequently. It's probably why I'm on a lot of null lists.

Aggression towards Overswarm is also probably influencing the minds of the newer players, who see the chart and go "OS IS TOWN!"

There's also the Race issue. Scum obviously won't like me if I try to foil their plans.
Also, someone want to explain to me why John answers stupid questions like "how old are you" and "is your real name john" without incident but has avoided other questions multiple times throughout this game?
I'd like to say it's simply noob Town, but it feels more like he's actively avoiding producing content. Whether this is because he's lazy Town (and trying to earn points without effort) or scum deliberately doing so, I don't know.

Can go:
15 (Frio)
5 (Solid)
3(meh) (OS)
6 (Panta)
10(ish) (Circus)
13 Kantrip
4 Xastrn

I'd also like to see Nabe, RR, WK, and Raz to arrange these numbers in a specific way. They are in no order for me but they do hold significance to players on the roster so please be careful. The way I'd like to be arranged is top numbers = go to go/be lynched to bottom numbers = i'm more or less okay with them for now and can live for more info.
Can die:
13
5
4

Vig Bait:
6
15

Keep for now:
10
3

Let me know if I missed anything, J.

I don't like the post with no quotes or referenced posts whatsoever. Just seems like all of this is gut, and that you've essentially been skimming, for example you missing J's reasoning for voting Xastrn. I'm hoping that's not the case.



This section smells bad. Especially the bolded. You specifically state that inexperienced players would be more likely to only spoke when spoken to and play cautiously (which is just speculation and has no basis in fact) while then saying John, Panta, and Frio haven't seemed scummy to you. Are we looking at the same John? You clearly haven't read the numerous times when I (or J, Raz, or whoever else) attempt to get any information out of him and he's given us the smallest bits possible. If that's not playing cautious and only speaking when spoken to, I don't know what is. I'd be glad to read a post where John comes out and says his feelings without being pressured into doing so.

Also almost all of your reads seem pretty damn cautious to me.



How do you make a more carefully worded post than this?

I don't like this contradiction one bit:



(bolded)



So it was reasonable for him to react how he did when he was - as you put it "not in any real danger of getting lynched unless someone stupidly hammered"? How does that work?

Do not like this post one bit.

Vote: Kantrip


Hmm.....now this is different. I have an opinion on this post/vote, but I'm gonna hold it for a bit.

Nabe, I'm giving you a hangman game to fiddle around with. Here it goes

What is the word I am thinking of for this post considering what just happened and the waaaay he talks in this post?

^^^Raz can try as well but I'm more curious to see Nabe take a swing at this.
Can I buy an O?

Wait, wrong game.

Hmmm. I went back and re-read the post I quoted by Solid, and I have to say, I'm irked. I can't disagree with the content of Solid's post, as he brought up many of the same issues I have with it.

Unsupported reads, bogus reasoning, etc.

What I don't like about it is the fact that the vote is effectively OMGUS and, like J said, opportunistic.

Solid was listed by Kantrip as his biggest scumpick, but Kantrip did not support that reasoning. Solid was extremely quick to jump on him for it.

The issue comes with the contrast between content and vote. He's justified in asking Kantrip for elaboration on those points, yes. But the fact that he's directly attacking him for it doesn't sit well with me.

Might not be scum, but he's still in my "Can die" pile.

Raziek, do you think at least one of either myself or solid is scum? If solid flips scum, does that clear me? If I flip scum, does that clear solid? If one of us flips town, does that add more suspicion to the other?

Still working on my multi-post. I'm having trouble concentrating on this game for some reason.

Not with enough certainty to place a vote at the moment.
If solid flips scum, does that clear me? If I flip scum, does that clear solid?
No to both counts. It gives you Town credit, but it certainly doesn't clear you.
If one of us flips town, does that add more suspicion to the other?
Not necessarily. TvT is common in mafia by definition, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if you were both Town. It would depend on how exactly the wagon progressed, among other things.

WTF?

Why in the world do people keep using the word "opportunistic" when they don't know what it means.

1. Exploiting chances offered by immediate circumstances without reference to moral principle.

By voting Kantrip immediately with what I consider to be shaky justification of doing so, WITHIN 5 POSTS, no less, how is this not opportunistic?

Are you going to doing anything besides play Dark Souls and shout from the peanut gallery, OS?

Does Overswarm do this all the time? Apparently he has some sort of reputation or something? I don't like the way he's been playing. If he always plays like this, I don't like the way he plays. The fancy lists and charts and graphs could all be his way of looking townie unnoticed, with how many less-experienced players there are in the playerlist.

@Overswarm, I'm curious about your read on solid. You say he had the biggest scumslip, and that you'd rather lynch him than Circus. Why? And what was this scumslip?

I ain't afraid of no ghost. :cool:



@Raz, if I were only to expand on 3 reads, which 3 would you want me to choose?

@J, same question as Raz.
