A random TB has appeared. o.o"

Was not expecting but TB, can you update us on your thoughts on a few other people of your choosing? It can be whomever you like. Controversial or back-ground.

I forgot you were in this game tbh TB and I dislike that I feel that disconnected to you.

Haha sorry man... just got back from a roadtrip, and this thread is moving pretty quickly, so whenever I get the chance to play mafia it's been mostly catchup.

Will do... maybe you can give me your thoughts on Solid while I type stuff up?

More scummy than towny but I find myself dislike more people than him at the current time. (i.e. Circus and the more he posts, WK)

@J, it was incredibly opportunistic. I've already pointed out Circus' tunneling on John and, to a lesser extent, Frio. He jumped onto Xastrn when there were things to jump on.

I've liked Xast more than Circus in the last few pages.

Ans I've pointed out a few of the key connections we'll get with a Circus lynch.

If he's bussing Xastrn, then it looks like he might have gotten his buddy killed. I wasn't going to go off of just Circus's reads/post, but with Solid's elaboration on the Xas topic, I felt confident in giving my vote to Xas.
So your reasoning is based only on the cases of others? Can you be more specific? What did Solid say that convinced you to vote Xastrn?

J, do you think this wagon's gonna go through and take out Xas? Or will it shift to someone else?
J has given an answer to this. What was the reason for asking the question? Did you gain anything from it?

If people remember, it wasn't Circus' original thought to hop onto Xastrn but Nabe actually asked him to get onto Xastrn and he dropped John like he was hot. However once the Xastrn lynch is about to go through, look what who's name comes back out of the woodworks: ;P

@John:




That quote is from more than a day ago. Please explain to me, in detail, the reason behind your unvote. What did I do that changed your mind about me? With as much or more detail, please explain why you didn't vote for someone new. Is there no one in the game that you have a scum read on? Is there no one in the game that you feel comfortable pushing without them already having multiple people on their wagon? Are you going to give any solid opinions on anything? Are you going to continue coasting and playing the newb card and not answering my questions? Are you ever going to start bussing your scumbuddy Xastrn?
Look at the tone in which he adresses John to which he is most likely going to be persuing him regardless of flip so it is setting up lynches. There is nothing to suggest the last line of this quote and it just is entirely random to bring John back into the equation when he was fired up against Xastrn besides to possibly set things up for toMorrow or later days.

Feel like elaborating?

I have no problem with Solid tbh, and I don't think any of the points against him really hold any water.

Most of my thoughts in 978 still hold. Kantrip was iffy, but I'm feeling tons better about him from his recent play. I am having trouble making sense of Werekill's play... gonna be looking into that more in the next while. John really needs to step it up and start thinking independently.

J and T-Block, do you agree with the connections I listed that we'd get from a Circus lynch?
You mean the Circus-WK connection? I don't really see a resonance between the two, but I do like both of them as scum-picks individually at the current time. However, I do get the point that you are trying to conceive; being that WK is doing Circus' work for him a tad and also trying to defend him when Circus is more than capable of doing it himself.

However, I do tend to defend people I like as well. ^^ So it may just be the way WK is so that's why I think the point against him is moot there duder.

@TB: Maybe later since A.) Solid isn't a priority of mine at the current time and B.) I feel like heading to sleep really shortly. ~.~

Hmm... somewhat. I strongly believe that Circus vs. Dastrn is SvT, which is the main feature of your post.

I dislike your pinning Werekill as scum only on a scumCircus flip though... chainsaw defense can be easily misinterpreted. I do see a connection from overall interactions, but nothing that would "pin"

I see your point.

A circus scum flip would put wk under suspicion though, for sure. And since his play on its own has looked scummy, not good for him.
Chainsaw is a null tell on a town flip (this is in the definition J posted as well).

lol stop playing so mechanically, Kantrip ^^

Don't rely on definitions like that, and think about the reasoning behind it. That way you can apply the reasoning to situations that might be slightly different and still reach logical conclusions.

@Werekill: Where does Kantrip sit on your lynch list? If a Dastrn lynch were off the table for whatever reason, would Kantrip be next? Provide reasoning please.

Back for a sec, but I think WK has actually already explained this and also has provided his own reasoning to it. ;P

Eh, mostly his fallacious case against Circus and his silly chainsaw defense accusations, not to mention his crappy accusations against me.

Oh, and instead of actually responding to my points about his case with circus, he just ignores them and moves on after latching on to my extra reasoning against Xast post.
Ah... so he did.

Back to reading then.

Circus, since I see you there tell me this with an honest answer.

At the time of your switch to Xastrn, who were the two main people being looked at?

I really need to go to sleep but meh. x_X

Was something in specific brought to me?

At any rate, given everything that's happened, I'm voting Circus. Haven't liked him since early in the day, and his play lately has done little to change the read I had earlier. While I will admit that our case earlier was somewhat weak, his interactions with Xastrn haven't sat well with me, and the thing that stands out in my mind is that Circus' attack on Xastrn doesn't feel like scumhunting. It feels like trying to madly rush a lynch through.

Between the two of them, I'm much more comfortable with Circus' death, as I feel we'll get a lot more out of a Circus flip than Xastrn's.

vote: Circus

Just making a note here, this is a really funny quote because it's really true once you look at Circus' posts.
The reverse is actually true. It makes sense for him to be voting for me because my lynch is his only chance at survival.

Italics.

Everyone, I'd like an answer to this: Who is okay with an OS lynch right now?
Nope. Xastrn dies toDay.

I don't have time to make a full case at the moment, but I'll just list a few things here.

If you look back at the beginning when Red Ryu claimed a guilty on Werekill, Circus completely ignored the wagon and kept his vote on John (his RvS vote). When Red Ryu posted the embedded video, Circus misinterpreted it and thought it was Red Ryu confirming that his claim was legit. Rather than joining the wagon or displaying interest in such, Circus asked RR for a full-claim in order to "see the chances of being sane/insane". As scummates, Circus would have suggested Red Ryu's role seemed insane due to the flavour in order to try and save his scummate.
I didn't join the wagon because I was very, very sure Ryu was faking it. When I thought for a moment that Ryu was serious, I wanted his claim because claiming an innocent or a guilty on anyone before you have at least two investigations to compare is very dangerous, since you could be insane. I wanted to get Ryu's claim before we just lynched Werekill for no reason on the basis of an investigation that could have been flawed by design, resulting in the death of an innocent townie and likely the daycop (scum would have probably killed Ryu that Night. In this hypothetical, he's still a threat, even as an insane cop), with no information gained.

But I don't expect you to believe me because you're all excited about this connection you think you found between me and Werekill.

When Werekill comes into the game, he gets upset about the wagon on him and votes Red Ryu. Shortly after, he explains it saying that "scummy play is scummy play". This implies that Werekill thinks RR's cop gambit was scummy. He never provided reasoning for this. Being upset about getting to L-1 was warranted. Thinking RR is scummy for it was not.
I agree with this.

Circus tells Werekill to stop being dumb. Note how he doesn't consider that Werekill is being scummy, but thinks he should just stop talking. This happens when Nabe is claiming an investigative role, and Werekill is trying to get a full-claim including race and name out of him.

Recently, Werekill has been attempting to refute the cases against Circus, rather than Circus doing it, and has been attacking everyone who makes this cases (chainsaw defense).
I've played with Werekill before. I've seen him play dumb as town before. My interpretation of Werekill's play is that he is not scummy, but has not begun thinking critically yet.

Also, I like how you seem to think that neither I nor Werekill are familiar with the concept of bussing or something. Like, you actually think that he and I are scumbuddies, and we're openly defending each other, thinking that's a fine strategy. And that if I thought he was playing scummy, I would say "don't be dumb" in thread, rather than telling him to knock it off privately. I think maybe you need to start thinking more critically yourself.

I still don't see it as being as bad as you make it out to be. You are continually fixating on this "scum through and through" stuff, and it's feeling more and more like misrepresentation to achieve a mislynch. Xastrn has said that there was no case to be built on RR because of lack of content, and he actually backed off of RR sooner than you are giving him credit for, yet you just keep bombarding him and us with the same point. I don't like the case on Solid either tbh, but apart from that, I've been okay with his defense.
Are you kidding? If anything, backing off of Ryu as soon as he did only makes him look worse. It bolsters my point that he never had a real reason to have such a problem with Ryu in the first place, and was really probably just voicing suspicion against him in order to add to his content faking. He backed off of Ryu so quickly because he realized he couldn't even bull**** a good reason to be against him.

Even his vote on you is null, as I can see town doing the same in that situation.
Really? You think it's common for a townie to just jump on a building wagon instead of sticking to his own guns when deadline is still days away and he has plenty of time to argue for his own cases?

Do me a favor and reread Xastrn's posts. How often does he even mention being suspicious of me before he votes me? I would seriously like you to do this. His vote on me comes at 1055; if it helps, you can work backwards. He mentions thinking I'm Solid's scumbuddy right after he makes his Solid case, but other than that, nothing.

If people remember, it wasn't Circus' original thought to hop onto Xastrn but Nabe actually asked him to get onto Xastrn and he dropped John like he was hot.
These things are not actually related. I did not switch to Xastrn because Nabe asked me to. I first started expressing proper dislike of Xastrn all the way back in my 596. Just because I didn't vote for him until some other people started getting more serious about him doesn't mean that I was just following them for the sake of following.

But, like I said to Kantrip, I don't expect this to sway you much. Scumgoggles and all that.

However once the Xastrn lynch is about to go through, look what who's name comes back out of the woodworks: ;P



Look at the tone in which he adresses John to which he is most likely going to be persuing him regardless of flip so it is setting up lynches. There is nothing to suggest the last line of this quote and it just is entirely random to bring John back into the equation when he was fired up against Xastrn besides to possibly set things up for toMorrow or later days.
I don't really know what your point is here. My suspicion of John didn't "come back out of the woodworks." I was and still am focused on Xastrn, but John was always on the back burner. I didn't reference him for a while because he simply wasn't doing anything and Xastrn had become a better player to look at in my eyes anyway. Just because I'm not constantly talking about certain players doesn't mean they aren't on my mind or that my read on them has changed.

I don't know if Xastrn and John are scumbuddies. I do think John is scummy, and I feel certain that Xastrn is straight up scum. Xastrn has lightly distanced John a few times this game, but other than that, there hasn't been much interaction between them because John's just been too scarce. This is null. But it does occur to me that Xastrn telling John to come in here and vote for him just in case he goes down toDay would make sense, especially considering how random John's vote on Xastrn is.

What I'm saying is, John is still scummy. And his vote on Xastrn doesn't change that. Just a thought, in case I don't get to express it later.

I honestly don't remember. I was pretty focused on John, and everyone else seemed pretty scattershot, still. Xastrn had started to gain some attention before I voted for him, but I don't know who the main focuses were at that time.

Also, I think I'm officially at L-1. I'll claim and give a bunch of final reads tomorrow if I still look like a legitimate lynch option then. If I get hammered before I get a chance to do this, lynch my hammerer. If Xastrn gets hammered before he has a chance to claim and he flips town, lynch his hammerer. If Xastrn gets hammered before he has a chance to claim and he flips scum...then yay!

I like that post, Circus. You responded much better than WK did. Don't pull the "this won't change your read" card.

Could I have your read on Werekill, please? If Xastrn is town, does this read change at all?

I currently like Werekill. I'm trying not to let his defense of me allow itself to affect my view of him in an emotional way, but even logically, it just doesn't make sense for him not to jump on me if he's scum. Considering all of the vocal players that have expressed suspicion or doubt about me, it would have been easy for him to just join the herd, but he didn't. He chose to fight the prevailing winds even though he didn't have to. That makes him look good to me.

With that said, don't clear him after I flip. Assuming I flip soon.

Alright.

Who would you kill if you were a vig and we were to lynch Xastrn:
1) on his scum flip
2) on his town flip

On his scum flip, John. In a heartbeat.

On his town flip, it gets a little more lucid. John would still be on the table, though maybe Frio just to get rid of the question mark. I think you were right when you said there's a good chance that Panta is scummy town, but he would be an option too, again, to get rid of a question mark for me. And yes, I know those are all noobs/infrequent posters. Sue me. I'd rather shoot someone that I don't think I'll be able to get much out of the following Day.

This would also probably be a decent time to say that I think Dabuz needs to be looked at if Xastrn flips scum. Think there may be some proactive bussing going on there. But I don't think I'd shoot him at this point.

Totally valid answer.

I agree with inactives getting the vig/cop treatment (one of the two). The reason it's better that than lynching them is because votes leading to a lynch apply pressure that helps get reads and connections. None of these can happen if the wagon is on an inactive. This is why I generally don't like policy lynches, especially in closed set-ups.

Policy lynches are tricky because, in certain situations, they're the only way you can properly punish bad play, like inactivity. If a vig isn't present, or is too scared to shoot, then a lynch is the only way an inactive player is going to die, because, if they're scum, then they'll obviously be fine, and if they're town, then scum isn't going to want waste their NK on them anyway. As a result of that, if you don't policy lynch, then just hiding in the shadows all game can become a legitimate way to win as scum.

That's why I think inactives should be pressured, and the threat of lynch should remain real for them unless they change their play or a better lynch takes the spotlight.

Why would you unvote? L-1 isn't a dangerous position, which is where you thought Circus was at the time.

Circus: Do you legitimately think I'm pushing an OS lynch at this juncture? What I want is your answer to the question, not "I only have eyes for Xasty".

Kantrip, you also didn't answer.

Care to explain why you think I could possibly be busing Xastrn?

Mind telling us what Xastrn's flip, town or scum, will tell us about OS?
All I feel comfortable sharing ATM before a flip is found here.



If Xastrn flips:


Town

Circus-While his recent posts have made me much less sure on whether or not he scum, I still feel like the case on him is there, and I want to examine him if Im wrong about Xastrn


Werekill-His vote on Nabe and requesting Nabe to say his role name



Scum


OS-I haven't seen OS put pressure on Xastrn, nor even question him. OS had no problem buddying Xastrn, and it feels like they are ignoring each other except when Xastrn agrees with OS on something.


Nabe-He is curious about J's opinions of me based on the Xastrn case post, yet he himself has not commented on the Xastrn case. The closest thing to a comment was when he said

Formerly 'Werekill' and 'NeoTermina'
If there were no CC's or anything I see no reason not to believe him. Scummy behaviour does not necessarily cross out a claim.

Bolded bits contradict each other. You are saying that Kanty is good vig-bait yet in the next quote you are saying you aren't telling the vig anything which is contradictory. You were the first thing to bring up vig-scenarios and he had every right to call you out on this.
Ha, fair enough. I was just saying that I really don't like him and am not planning on changing my vote except for the most extreme sort of claim. Time to wait and see what he claims!

And sorry, maybe I should have made that more clear/reworded it. What I meant by those statements was both that I thought that Kantrip was scummy and that I wouldn't mind a vig killing him. However, I was really telling Kan "hey, I wouldn't mind you being dead so stop being so damn scummy before you either get lynched or vig killed, if we have one." Get what I mean?

And actually, I think that Circus was the first to bring up a vig scenario.

wat .
That's cute. What's safe about L-1 is that anyone who hammers before the majority of town thinks it's a good call (or before deadline is uncomfortably close and no one else is around) is going to be held accountable by others.

I asked you a question a few pages back. Kindly pretend that you're interested in this game and check it out.
