Sure I’ll put them together sometime later today.Could you find the posts that you thought were the biggest hits against Boom?
I agree that Boom and Up are unlikely a team, but one of them is very likely part of a team.also do you have anything to say about my Poy post above?
Wiisp’s wagon starting is still bad, and I could see them fit into a team, but they also pointed out there’s seemingly 2 scum as we are not in mylo today. That doesn’t exclude them of course, but I think it means Boom or Up need to go first and then if they flip scum we evaluate possible teams. Finding the second scum should be easy once we have the firstSorry I wasn't around at the end of day. The day ended at kind of an awkward time for me before I can usually play, and I ended up having to field a call that ran right through the deadline and wasn't able to slip back to the game to participate until well after things had settled.
About Sabrar, the main thing that was troubling me about him was that he genuinely didn't seem to care about who was getting lynched between UP and Boom. He was locked on UP as far as his reads were concerned, but he didn't seem to really be invested in making sure that he actually got the lynch he wanted. That combined with his low activity throughout the game made me think that maybe I was wrong about him, especially when I was seriously considering the possibility of at least Boom being Town and possibly both Boom and UP. The only combinations of mafia that did not include Boom and UP that made a lot of sense to me were ones that included Sabrar. The way that everyone had their attention almost exclusively focused on those two players also made me think that there was probably at least one wolf in the Townbloc.
I was kind of surprised at the speed that wagon took off. As I mentioned to Z25 in neighborhood, I wasn't really expecting to swing the lynch. But I wanted to consider an option that wasn't UP/Boom since if we ended up with mislynch on a fairly consensus scumread it can be difficult to evaluate people's motives.
I would be very surprised if there isn't at least one scum on the wagon. My current thinking sort of takes me back to Jackrito (again) who didn't seem too keen on the Sabrar lynch and wanted Boom, then switched very quickly without a lot of obvious motivation. I think Jack looks especially bad here if UP flips scum, as he was reluctant to vote him with Ran when asked, and then moved over to the new wagon when the opportunity presented itself. Wiisp and Boom I also feel are more likely to be Town which again leads me to Jackrito being scum on the wagon.
Jackrito : Why did you move your vote to Sabrar? You had him as Town in #1679 and didn't seem keen on him as of #2302? What changed your mind?
Z25 : After the hammer you said you were suspicious of Wiisp and Chu (#2843). Yet now you are back to Boom/UP. What happened?
Let's take a look.
So a lot of this seems to have to do with my scumread of Maven. Yet you appear to have not highlighted the specific post where I explain the reason for that read, #787, where I felt that Maven's #771 was very disingenuous toward me specifically, and generally just throwing shade without really engaging in anyone's content. He repeatedly asked for the case on Utopian, was given it, and his only comment was that he'd prefer UP to 3DS. And, as I said, one of the reasons that Maven seemed promising to me was because I thought 3DS was likely flailing newbie scum, and I felt a very plausible explanation to this was that at least one of his buddies was the ever-absent Maven. Something similar happened to me in one my first scum games, and I've seen something similar happen to other new players before as well. After 3DS flipped Town, this scenario didn't seem likely, and you have been generally putting in a lot more effort into the slot, so I moved up to nullish in D2.
Yes, I changed my position on UP near end of day. His content appeared to be more townie, and I had reservations about how the wagons had been moving as I had mentioned before. As I noted in #2305, IDGAF about trying to be consistent or have steady progression that leads to an inevitable conclusion of X is scum. I've tried that before, but my reads aren't good enough to justify it. I end up wasting time in a giant TvT tunnel while I'm townreading all of the mafia. If you have some time to kill, take a look at Open 711 on mafia scum and you'll see a good example of this happening. If someone is able to convince me that they're Town in a single post, that's great, I'll read them as Town.
but Laser started the Sabrar wagon.... and it was a mislynch.Wiisp’s wagon starting is still bad,
I followedThe reason I thought sabrar was bad towards the end because his flip flop didn't make sense if Boom was his partner, and if I am to believe his meta, he isn't bussing UP, when there is other lynches to push
None of you wanted to follow and lasor tonally looks really bad right now
Anyways back to work
I literally listed laser as a potential buddy to Up Or Boom.but Laser started the Sabrar wagon.... and it was a mislynch.
How come you're OK with Laser's wagon and how he provided no commentary (he just put out the vote and said "maybe this" and left)? This is horrible because he obviously had the chance to supplement reasoning, he came in with post #2305 and left. Like it would not have been hard to put together a lil something about why he wants Sabrar for the lynch
I saw that (possible Laser/Boom Laser/UP), but in your earlier post you were leaning towards town!LaserI literally listed laser as a potential buddy to Up Or Boom.
Hell I’ve given multiple reasons throughout this game why laser looks bad, but no one wanted to agree with that yesterday so I stuck to Boom.
As for Laser I’m covering this in the next post to better sort it
I just wanted to hear your perspective on why Wiisp's wagon starting was bad but not Laser's. And I don't think you had commented on that before, how Laser started the Sab wagon, but I could be wrongBut I don’t know if I see scum laser anymore. I suggested the idea of a ran led scum team to him in the neighborhood chat. So he could have easily gotten me convinced to weight that option today if he wanted, unless again he didn’t think that would work. But scum laser also wouldn’t kill ran imo because it would narrow the pool in a big way as it reinforces reads On other slots.
His recent post is exactly the feeling I interpreted from his vote post. That the two main lynches looked bad and he wanted to go a third way. I'm trying to not hold quantity of content against him because that is RL related. And I still like him for defending me D1.
There's no way for him to believe the UP wagon looked bad when Laser had already pegged him as I quote, "likely scum." He's copping out of his reads. You're not suspicious of Laser's Sab vote? Like, it left even Sabrar clueless. Sabrar said that it was uncharacteristic of Laser to do that, put it down with no evidence whatosever.His recent post is exactly the feeling I interpreted from his vote post.

also this is weak since it's a good tactic for scum to do this just to get town credit with peopleAnd I still like him for defending me D1.
What does "pocket" mean? I'm assuming it means like support? Like scum!Boom wanted Sabrar to support and back him up or something?It looks as if scum Boom was try to get Sabrar to pocket him but he refused to listen to Scum boom which led to a vote. That’s very shady.
Your right Laser did start that wagon. Like I said town laser depends on whose scum, but right now Boom definitely reads scum and laser fits as a mate pretty well in rereading that wagon.I saw that (possible Laser/Boom Laser/UP), but in your earlier post you were leaning towards town!Laser
I just wanted to hear your perspective on why Wiisp's wagon starting was bad but not Laser's. And I don't think you had commented on that before, how Laser started the Sab wagon, but I could be wrong
Will be nice to see your next post
It’s a term to use when A mafia buddies up to a townie in hopes that townie will view them favorably and listen to them more. Boom literally states there that Sabrar has a chance to join with him and didn’t. That’s not townie talk at all.What does "pocket" mean? I'm assuming it means like support? Like scum!Boom wanted Sabrar to support and back him up or something?
Can you expand on this?I never said that UP's posts are townie, he is anything but townie, all I said is there are things on a micro level that don't feel like they come from a wolf
I would maybe of followed if you did it a bit eariler, don't spring CFD on me I hate them. I nearly voted them anyway but you backed out and hammered or someone didThe reason I thought sabrar was bad towards the end because his flip flop didn't make sense if Boom was his partner, and if I am to believe his meta, he isn't bussing UP, when there is other lynches to push
None of you wanted to follow and lasor tonally looks really bad right now
Anyways back to work
Well it should of being clear that Sabrar was a player in flux for me the entire game as it can easily be shown. I went from scum to town on him multiple times. I planned to do another review today but Ranmaru made a conviencing argument to me and Wisp also agreed who was my other top town read. Sabrar last couple of posts to Boom bothered me like I said also.Sorry I wasn't around at the end of day. The day ended at kind of an awkward time for me before I can usually play, and I ended up having to field a call that ran right through the deadline and wasn't able to slip back to the game to participate until well after things had settled.

Honestly this is my problem with Poy. Like this goes far beyond just lacking town motivation or whatever, this is just not wanting to play the game and not caring about the game, which is unfair to other players. Like he wanted a second chance so badly but he's not using it. No Dusk phase posts (he gave us like two sentences of content), even though townies commented that he could be using that ability better. Day phase has been in action for almost 18 hours and he's not made a single post.I still think that UP is town for reasons I can't even describe, but if I'm wrong and he is scum. I'm going to hate myself after this game for not voting because he was in a downward sprial. The lack of posts today or even at night is weird to me though since you know that is his power maybe use it if you are town to help us. I'm intrested to see what he comes up with though since for some reason he wanted to look at me and not sure why.
this post is disgusting too because he unvoted at EoD with no vote replacement. I often don't vote much, like I don't vote early in phases regardless of alignment because I just find it unnecessary (unless I have lots of conviction in a scumread), but even I make sure to always have a vote out EoD. And when he is making posts like these throwing shadeI feel you. I thought Pokechu and LG could potentially be buddies but now Pokechu, who I’ll assume is scum for the case of the example, is taking an opportunistic stab at LG. I’ll admit that I was on LG too, but I know I’m town and I wanted to be a resource to Wiisp here.
##Unvote
if you're THAT scared of boom vote him???? like why did he unvote and not vote Boom if he was so scared that that was a possibility, that he HAD to mention it in the thread and mudsling EoD. Don't just sit on your laurels, I'm surprised he could make this post when he was clutching his pearls so tightly in self preservationBoom was scum the whole time and will change his mind on me to push me out.
I cannot begin to fathom how that would play out so I won’t.
this really doesn't have an impact on his alignment imo, you discussed it already in the post but I think it's unfair to use that for Poy. Like if Boom or Laser asked to be modkilled would you give them a pass too? makes the game super unbalanced if we're handing players tickets to LyLo because they're falling out of line3. He stated he asked to be modkill
actually in poy's defense, the second quote came before the first. (so he was talking about boom then the laser wagon happened I think and he hopped on and then hopped off)Honestly this is my problem with Poy.

like honestly I think he should be a policy lynch for everything he's done. I don't feel bad that he AtE, I have a loud personality so I'm not scared to be the hardass LOL but poy's play has been horrid.

I can agree with this, I can see why someone would use it... but me personally I don't think it's good for the game (imagine if he is scum). I'm not using it for my read but if anything I think I would use it against him just by policy.its unfair sure, I think I shouldnt use it
but I am going to use it, its the last bit of sanity I have towards calling that slot town
I think he should have replaced out a long time ago instead of playing this pity party
and I really dont get where his mindset is, when he is not motivated enough to play, but clearly motivated enough
to not replace, say he is going to do things, and then not doing things
the last sentence isnt wolfy, but it certainly isnt townie, and it certainly doesnt help us solve him
and its a little deeper then that, I don't think people truly say statements like that unless they are feeling emotionally burnt
if anyone just said now, "Ya I asked to modkilled because so and so"
they can shove it
personally, I so as someone says anything like, "I asked to be replaced, or I asked to be modkilled"
they should be removed from the game, either via a replacement or a modkill, because stuff like that is anglely
and has no place in the game, but its also ridiculous to ask me not to look into stuff like that
but the wagons at EoD were Sabrar and Boom right? (well no duh lmao)also its slightly annoying coming from you seeing this talk on UP/Boom
when the opportunity to kill either of them yesterday was there
but w/e
oh yeah I think I remember that, I see where you're coming from. Start of D2 I had UP vs Sab and Laser vs Jack both as TvS, and the start of the phase I was learning towards UP and Laser as the towns. And it changed towards the end of the phase to the other two (so Sab and Jack).ya but there was a point where it was both UP/Boom
and I am for sure certain you didnt want to vote UP at the time either
Lasor probably has to be one of the hits here
