I don't understand your townie thought process, let alone you going 'hm, surely PJB who has less of a reason is townie comparative to the scumbag soup who just wants to lynch me because I am inactive. Never mind that swords guy either, stating intent to hammer me. He's probably town too.'

I think you're just trying to save face. Even so far to try and push me on some sort of contradiction I never made. This isn't the thought process of a town Orbo let alone one of a townie. You don't come in here, 3 days without anything, and be so certain of your reads like this. Either back up your claims or taste my steel.
You didn't make the contradiction of saying that inactivity didn't factor into voting me then saying it did? say what?
Why shouldn't I be confident in my reads? They're my reads. it's what I've got. Sorry if you don't believe that, but it's the truth.
My {JB reda is independant of my soup read and I've got no idea why oyu are comparing the two.
It's kinda like you collectively town-read every player not involved in current matters and somehow come to the conclusion that me and Gheb are scum. It's almost laughable, what makes me priority over Gheb?
You're scum, gheb is null. Simple.

....Huh?

..What?

I literally don't believe anything you're saying right now. Why are you being so unwilling to work with me? Because I'm scum? You have to ignore my advances to get you to actually do something and try to shove your **** in front of my face? Do you want to live? I'm pretty sure if Sword is town, he's not going to buy this. Please, ****ing. work. with. me.

1. Wha? Is it opposite day? Like, I understand your skepticism with regards to scum doing things that town wouldn't expect them to do, but this is wearing thin amd I'm wary that you're gravitating towards the more complicated answer to why Gheb has been acting the way he has.

2. Reword this for me. How did his stance "hold no water"? Quote this if you've already gone over it, but the vague wording here doesn't arouse me.

3. K

4. Meditating on this but I'm leaning towards calling bull**** on this. I KNOW you've seen Gheb get pissed over **** that seems trivial before (uh no offense Gheb).

5. K

The Orbo wagon isn't "weak". What the ****? A lynch on an inactive will ALWAYS seem weak because they're inherently going to leave less for Town to pin them. See The Wall where I screamed for 4 days to lynch Raz who had roughly as many posts as he did letters in his name. While Gheb has "poo poo'd" on PJ+B, it has not been in a scummy way. He's criticized his play, but still acknowledged that PB+J is town. Also Kantplay pretty much got himself killed so I'm lost on this leading wagons accusation.

Man, do I hate inactive scum on SWF. They always get away by doing absolutely ****ing nothing.
1. I fail to see why this is the "more complicated" explanation. Scum is painfully aware of what IS scummy, and unless you have evidence that supports your interpretation of his actions you're essentially just guessing (yes I know that we're guessing regardless, but at the very least with evidence we can make our guesses "more sophisticated" if you will). My evidence is that Gheb's actions were inappropriate given the circumstances. What's yours (not rhetorical)?

2. I think you're still misinterpreting what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that I, or anyone else in this game, can NOT just attack Gheb on the stance he took. This is BECAUSE anyone can technically twist anything anyone said to sound scummy. I'm pointing this out so that you guys know that I'm NOT just attacking Gheb for the stance he took.

I'm curious as to what's getting you two so hung up on this? I think I've been pretty clear on my intention, but you're calling my wording "vague." Where's the misinterpretation occurring?

4. I actually can't recall. Gheb, like the rest of us, is a human being. He doesn't actually flip out the second someone sneezes without covering their mouth. Yes I've seen him be a grump and criticize people, but I don't think he's actually sooooooo salty that he'll naturally write an essay as to why Kantrip/PJB/RR are all bad at this game, especially when considering how warranted I think the Soup pressure was.

I agree with you about Orb wagon not being weak. However one of the reasons I'm scum reading Gheb is because OF how he spent so much energy in criticizing one of his town reads. Unless I'm mistaken, you seem to be interpreting his this action as townie. Why?

I'm primarily asking you this so to further help my read on you. Also tbh I AM still open to being persuaded if the argument is good enough.

More importantly than that though, were you town reading Soup based on his outburst? If so, then why?

the bit about swords.

Then what is it? I got that it was because I was inactive, and that was about it.

NH/swords/PJB town. want to lynch soup, could compromise to gheb. think that's everyone?
Why? Why is NH, me, and PJB town? Why do you want Soup or Gheb lynched? You literally need to back everything you're saying up.

Why did you even have stances then? You're saying that you've haven't had time to orient yourself. Okay, fine. In that case though, how did you come to the conclusion that me/PJB/NH were town and Soup was scum? Also, why is Gheb null to you? By putting him in the null category, you're implying that there's something about his play that you're unsure of how to interpret, correct? If so, then what is it?

I think Soup was quite clear that the primary thing he wanted out of you was clarification. Yet you're being difficult to work with when you're not really in the position to act that way. When Soup pointed out the flaw in your way of thinking, you've simply restated your reads.

You didn't make the contradiction of saying that inactivity didn't factor into voting me then saying it did? say what?
Why shouldn't I be confident in my reads? They're my reads. it's what I've got. Sorry if you don't believe that, but it's the truth.

You're scum, gheb is null. Simple.
There's literally no clarification here, just stating that these are your reads, simple as that. You ask "Why shouldn't I be confident in my reads?" and then 11 minutes after that you're saying that you need to read back through. If you can't clarify now, then maybe that is reasoning as to not be confident in your reads?

Lynching a player for being scummy as hell is bad reasoning now? You really need to teach me how to play this game some day.
He wasn't scummy.

You don't have to if you don't want to. In fact, I'm not even sure whether soup is actually clear or not.

:059:
*headdesk*

Then why the hell you refusing to look at his poor play.

More importantly than that though, were you town reading Soup based on his outburst? If so, then why?
1.) You could just look at the facts and work from there. Fact: I was the first to post a screenshot of a role PM that says I am town and at least 2 people other than me must've seen it. The question is - did Zen give scum fake role PMs to take screenshots of in the beginning or not? Considering Zen felt the need to add rule #4 after soup and I posted our screenshots it's pretty unlikely, don't you think? It's pretty clear that he simply forgot about the rule and had to add it retroactively because it would've broken the game. Had Zen had a fake role PM for the mafia in petto he wouldn't have needed to add the rules. If that's not enough to see me as cleared [which the majority of the people seemto believe] then I don't know what more persuation you could possibly ask for.

2.) The outburst is a huge null-tell and it bothers me that players got hooked on it so much. I think Ryu's case on soup was pretty poor and his reaction was understandable, especially if you try to see things from his point of view. If he was acting under the assumption that it was well understood that soup has at least semi-cleared himself then it's obvious he'd get angry about Ryu making such a pathetic case and PJB just sheeping it. But based on the fact that most points against soup have been weak and the fact that he screened his role PM I'll conclude that he is very likely town.

Do you have any proof that he's playing poorly? Just because he doesn't yield to your silly expectations of how one should play this game doesn't mean it has to be poor. Do you know whether his reads are accurate or not? Why should I assume that your play isn't far worse than his? And since when the hell is poor play scummy?

My case is proof enough, you're too inept and thick headed to look at it.

It's not my expectations, well ok it kinda is but I still do not see why Soup would as town ever react like that.

Do you know whether his reads are accurate or not?
He is sheeping every single damn counter wagon whenever he can. He's playing solely for self survival. Not for town's best interest.

Why should I assume that your play isn't far worse than his?
Because I'm town.

And since when the hell is poor play scummy?
Because Soup is experienced enough to not do this as town, this is bad play that I do not beleive Soup as town would put out.

If this was a newer player, I wouldn't take it as a tell. Soup is not dumb enough to do that kind of reaction as town.

It's fake, unrealistic of his experience. He is trying to mimic being interested in the game.

He is scum.

Tell me what you think of Orbo's current stances and his input. Do not ignore the progression of the game just because you're being stubborn.

:059:
1. If you recall from the beginning of the game I did assume both you and Soup were cleared and I was thinking more or less from along the same line. The prior existence of rule 3 just strengthened the argument that you two were town to e, because if Zen did send scum fake claims at the same time then why even have rule 3? Tbh the only thing I'm finding wrong with your logic is paranoia. I am slightly paranoid that Zen would put in rule 3 just as a red herring. I mean why give us the ability to quote our role PMs at all? Why give us the ability to post screenshots at all? If he wanted us to remove time stamps, yet still was okay with us posting screen shots, then wouldn't he probably give scum screen shots from the beginning?

2. Well if one didn't consider you or Soup to be cleared I think it's only fair to get caught up in it. Remove the "clear" that your privileging Soup with and then reconsider. Soup makes a huge overreaction to what's being presented, and people jump on him for it. RR accuses him of trying to make a big deal out pressuring him (i.e. posturing, which I can totally see where he was coming from) and then after Soup's outburst to it others jump on. If you didn't consider Soup cleared, what would you think? Would you think it only natural that others would take issue with it? I would.

Also for the record I don't recall you ever justifying Soup's reaction with "he was angry about people attacking him when he was cleared" nor do I recall Soup ever justifying his reaction this way.

Gheb, if you're under the assumption that zen forgot about screenshots, what do you think of Orbo's screenshot then? That would imply that he too is clear if there wasn't an alternative and zen made a mistake.

I really wish RR would stop acting like this. RR, you're being the literal definition of a bad mafia player right now. Your insistence to tunnel me with broken logic while I'm trying to progress the game is both harmful and that of a newbie. Your unwillingness to have a differing opinion despite me talking to death about it is not something a pro-town would do. I need you to stop being a little baby ***** and do more then cry about how I'm scum. Justify your reasoning with something more, or get another one. On top of it, out more reads and participate.

Reread Orbo's posts, not interested in that wagon. Why he has reads like that, sure he could expand on it more, but nothing is lynch worthy.

Vote: Soup

What do you think about Orb's 323? He states that he needs to orient himself to answer Soup's questions, but yet prior to that he's stated that he's confident on his reads. Does that not seem odd to you?

Remember when I asked you to justify your reasoning and instead you throw your vote on me like you're hot **** and you got me figured out? Elaborate on how nothing Orbo has said is 'lynch worthy.' Define what is 'lynch worthy' and what isn't. I literally don't understand your logic here, how is what Orbo is putting not worthy to lynch? How is Orbo ducking out of the thread after me giving him a chance not worthy to lynch? You really think Orbo's logic and play is that of a townie? Please, ****ing define what a townie is to you because right now I'm assuming you don't even know and you just go off piss-poor meta and confirmation bias. I don't want to be right about this.

Sword, is there a reason you haven't hammered Orbo yet? Is it because you want clearer stances from everyone and reactions to Orbo's play, or is it something else? I don't really see any other reason considering we're actually pretty close to deadline too.

Deadline is more than 24 hours from now, it's not like I'm going to miss it lol.

I've considered hammering Orb, but I just wanted to talk to people more before seeing his flip. I'm not trying to set up anything is particular, just get uncorrupted information out there.

Actually that is kinda odd but I think Soup has done far worse.

His votes on Kantrip and Orbo scream wagon hopping and scum bandwagoning.

If Orbo can get back here and post to expand more on his reads, I'd be willing to wait til tonight. Orbo wagon still doesn't feel comfortable with me since the initial votes don't really jive with me, even more so when both my main scum picks are voting for him.

Also want to see what Orb has to say before his death.

Will probably hammer him in a couple hours. Tbh I want to hammer him right now but it's probably better to be patient.

Stop ignoring me. The worst thing I hate about mafia is when someone ignores you. I might be scum in your eyes but wouldn't you want a beat on who my partner is? I'm giving all the damn chance in the world and you just continue to tunnel me. It's ****ing sickening.

Tbh the only thing I'm finding wrong with your logic is paranoia. I am slightly paranoid that Zen would put in rule 3 just as a red herring.
Paranoia is legit in this case because the 1% chance of it being a red herring or some other sort of nonsense by the mod is still there. It's the reason why I didn't really go out of my way to make the point because somebody will likely make a counter-argument with that 1% "but what if..." scenario as its basis. I mean, of course you can pick the 100% safety route and assume that soup and I could still be scum somehow but I will pick the 99% safety route that gives me a cleared player to work with, which is a lot more productive.

Soup makes a huge overreaction to what's being presented, and people jump on him for it. RR accuses him of trying to make a big deal out pressuring him (i.e. posturing, which I can totally see where he was coming from) and then after Soup's outburst to it others jump on. If you didn't consider Soup cleared, what would you think? Would you think it only natural that others would take issue with it? I would.
If soup weren't cleared I'd still say it's a null-tell.

Gheb, if you're under the assumption that zen forgot about screenshots, what do you think of Orbo's screenshot then? That would imply that he too is clear if there wasn't an alternative and zen made a mistake.
A very good point. I completely forgot that Orbo posted his screenshot but now that you mention it, I remember he did.

Unvote

Actually on second thought this isn't really paranoia but more a legit question.
I don't think he purposefully *gave* us the ability to post screenshots but simply forgot about it. The more I think about it the less sense it makes to look at the whole ruleset as if there were any red herrings. When I look at rule #3 and #4 I can imagine that they *could* be red herrings but I fail to see in what ways they would be of any consequence. Neither of these rules really take away anything we know about the role PMs that have been screen capped.

got distracted by doctor who. sorry bout that.
through page four, the reads i got on first impressions are holding up well.
posts like 132 and 160 are part of why I'm scumreading soup. When he's called scum, he belittles the player attacking him.His reactions to RR's obv gambit against swords(why would he intervene as town when he's ******* to me about this beforehand in other games).
152 gives me a town vibe form NH. the swords read was more from d2/n1, as was PJB.

I don't really like Orbo's reaction to all this let alone how he handled himself coming back, so I'm not buying the screenshot deal any longer tbh. I won't let a mechanic get in the way of a read, unless it's very situational. Here I do not think is the case.

Ryu's done nothing but tunnel soup all game. Even if he was right he has done nothing to give us a reason to believe he's reading people deeper than surface level. Not that I expected more from him but it gives me all the more reason to stick to my own ways of thinking and reading people. I want the see other people attempt at getting thread control, this game is becoming a farce for me.

We're at the point where we're using meta and nothing else to read a player. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.
