People have been saying that I never give the logic behind the stuff I say and would want me to explain and crap. So here it is.
To lazy to color code though.
Playing
1. Marshy:
Marshy’s
69, 79, 130, 210, and
238 shows that he is actively scumhunting and shows a realistic objective of finding scum. You can also see from the progression of these posts, where the suspicions that he laid out in his
357 come from. I also don’t think scummarshy would bother to suspicion lists[this is actually my number 1 reason for thinking he’s town XD]. And he is not nearly as proactive when he’s scum. In HPMaf he just sat back the entire time. In NewbMaf2, he presented a crap case against Kevin and then didn’t really do much else. Town read.
2. Chaco Rockin
Kevin made a pretty beast case against Chaco earlier. Basically it seemed to me at least, as though Chaco was just coasting through, not making an attempt to scumhunt at all, not commenting on anything that was going on, and only responding when someone mentions him. After we call him out on not seemingly trying to find scum, he says he has indeed been gathering reads from people, and had gotten reads on both me and Pierre. He also says he’s 90% sure that Gheb is scum, which doesn’t make sense at all to me since Gheb is probably the most townie person in this game right now. Also, his confidence was quite odd, there’s no way he could be so sure of himself after only a few posts. He also FOSes me, and then later when I asked what his reads of me were, he says town. Which is quite the contradiction. He however presents a someone legit reason, saying that even though he wasn’t suspicious of me, he felt like using an FOS to prove a point. Which I don’t agree with but he might actually think this way. He then asks for a replacement, which might be a scum copout since so many people are on his ***. Chaco definitely leans scum to me. However it could be just chaco being chaco.
Rockin replaces him. His opening post,
182, was good. He commented on a lot of what happened in the game so far. However he didn’t really tell us who he was suspicious of, so I pressed him on that. And in his
184 he states his suspicions of Sinz and Swords. I didn’t agree with him on this because I believed Sinz case on me was an ok one to make if he didn’t know my playstyle and Sinz wasn’t just going with the crowd he was actually trying to figure out who scum would be. I forgot why I thought swords was town, it was a gut thing based on something he said. However rereading some of the arguments against sword, I didn’t get the townie feeling from him any longer which is why I retracted my statement disagreeing with the statement.
Anyways, back to Rockin. I don’t think he was scummy for having suspicions that I disagree with, but it did seem like he has ulterior motives for presenting those suspicions. Swords had a bw on him going, so that would be a good place to nudge. And sinz just presented a case on me, that I and a few others shot down. By stating his suspicion of sinz, Rockin may have been trying to get on my good side, [since I was the one asking for his suspicions]. Rockin’s
251 bugs me a bit. After people show that they disagree with the sinz suspicion, he changes his mind about it. This bothers me cuz he seems to just be going with the popular opinion. He also changes his fos on swords to a vote, which bothers me as well becuz now it seems like sword was the direction where the lynch was going, and he wanted to safely get on that BW. Rockin’s also made some odd comments about how he shouldn’t be held accountable for chaco’s actions which is clearly wrong.
Rockin was originally neutral/leaning scum a bit to me but after looking over his posts, that changed to a fairly scum read. If Rockin’s flips scum, that would give us a lot of info too. If he flips scum then Kevin, Swords, and Sinz would all be fairly clear to me. However at this point, I don’t see us getting much info if he flips town. Not very confident on this read though,
3. Macman
I’m a G, what can I say.
4. Pierre the Scarecrow
We had a nice little squabble at the beginning there. Pierre def came out strong even though his arguments against me were faulty =p. But he showed a definite interest in trying to find scum, atleast earlier on. He then started falling off with inactivity. I believe he has the 3rd least amount of posts. And all but 5 of them were during/before our initial argument.
A lot of people seem to think he town. I think they’re thinking that for the wrong reasons. People need to realize that big posts =/= town. Especially when you consider that pierre has been fairly inactive all game.
His
200 is great, except for the part concerning possible town PRs. The combination of his
206 and his
275 bugged me a bit because his 206 seemed to suggest that he was suspicious of me for bringing up the flavor thing but his 275 says otherwise. Also, showed that he was suspicious of both Cacti and Swords which bothered me because at that time I had town reads from them, and the fact that he was suspicious of both of the people who were most likely gonna be the lynch for the day is weird. Like he was keeping himself open to vote for them. However of course, the reason those 2 are in the limelight is because they’ve done scummy **** and pierre’s view on them can be because of that. But his 275 in general was really really good, and laid out a bunch of stuff that I was thinking as well, we had come to similar conclusions. Def a town read for now, slight lean towards neutral tho because of the flavor stuff which bugged me. Actually nah, def town I’d say. Thinking about it now , I probably shouldn’t have brought up the flavor stuff at all.
5. XACE-K
2nd least number of posts. It is clear that he has been fairly inactive. His
135 is somewhat odd, because he seems to present a possibility but then immediately turns around on it. Like [paraphrase]“pierre being aggressive is conducive to his meta but his selective questioning is scummy” and “3 votes all at once is odd, but I doubt scum would do that”[/paraphrase]. Seems fairly wishy-washy. However I don’t think it scummy since when you are town considering possibilities, you always try to look at both sides of the coin, which is what Ace seems to be doing here. It also can just show that he is trying to be noncommittal and just posting to seem active. [See I just did the both sides of the coin thing =D]
He gets on the swords wagon, may be opportunist. Ace’s
201 is not a strong argument at all. I reread earlier, and realized I was lacking much of a read on Ace so I asked him what his suspicions were. He responds in
325 which I found a little bit odd, since he is now showing suspicion of truth. And mentioned his scumslips. I got the sense that he was just trying to go with the popular opinion because the truth wagon started gaining ground, so I asked him what about T_T was scummy to him. He posts 2 more times but doesn’t respond to my question. Which I found and still find weird.
I still lack much of a read on Ace. I’m leaning new at mafia over scum, which I think explains him going with the popular opinion. He also remained consistent with his swords suspicion. So right now he is neutral/slight lean town.
6. Sinz
Don’t really feel like looking in to his posts. He seems town to me, I sense a real desire to find scum from him. Also there’s something about his tone that just screams town to me.
7. Cacti
Riddle brought up a really good point earlier against Cacti, which got his whole bw going. Cacti generally seems scummy to me. However I think he is town;
Lol Macman, you'll find that it's just how I play when you see me lynched and then flipping town in all the games I'm in.
However this is why I don’t think he is scum. It’s a really really dumb reason. But I can’t see him linking his alignment with this game and to his alignment in other games if he were scum. Definitely and completely a gutbased read. I’ll be sad if he is scum cuz I’d feel completely betrayed.
Actually, after doing more reading, more things about him bug me. I can see him being scum. My gut says town, my brain says scum. So I guess you’ll be neutral.
8. SwordsRbroken
Another gut based read. His
137 seemed mad innocent to me for some reason. Him getting off of the Cacti wagon when Gheb question his motives for getting on in the first place was suspect to me. I liked Swords’
191 He was one of the only ones who responded to my flavor thing, and he brought up a point that I hadn’t considered before. His reasoning for fosing Cacti in
199 and his eventual vote in his following posts just seemed like OMGUS. The bottom of his
277 just seemed like he was trying to direct suspicion away from him.
Some scummy stuff from him, some good stuff. Neutral.
9. Riddle
4th least amount of posts. His
65 was a bit weird, because the way he was telling me that he doesn’t seem Pierre is scum felt like he already knew I was town. Riddle’s
118 could be seen as him trying to get attention away from him because of the wagon developing however he brought up a really **** good point against cacti, so this is a fairly pro town post. His
234 bothered me the same way other people with similar posts bothered me. He states that sword and cacti are equally scummy, the 2 biggest suspicions. Just seemed like he was keeping both his options open.
In his
253, he unvotes Cacti saying that cacti’s defense was enough to alleviate the suspicion on him for now. However after a brief intermission where he spends his time voting me cuz I’m being unhelpful he soon goes back to voting Cacti in his
342 where he outlines what he thinks of everyone in the game. Didn’t like his case against me, though I can see how my play can annoy people and seem scummy. Riddle is a neutral/slight scum read. Would rather not lynch him today though. Wouldn’t be against it though.
10. Mentosman
The person with the least number of posts in this game. He starts out supporting me in an argument with Pierre about my scumtells. In
195 he states his reasoning for being suspicious of sinz. His reasoning is basically that Sinz’s post against Chaco lacks any original content and just trying to seem like a townie. I find it interesting that he doesn’t comment on the case against Chaco itself. In
224 Gheb questions Mentosman about his suspicion of Sinz. And whether it is at all related to Rockin’s reasoning for being suspicious of Sinz. That being that sinz was parroting other people. In Mentos’s
227 he responds by saying that it didn’t have anything to do with Rockin’s suspicion of him.
Anyways, Mentos hasn’t said much of anything. His only real suspicion was that of Sinz. He has been quiet all game and hasn’t been commenting on anything has been going on. He made posts responding to my role speculation and about the whole vig thing. He’s quick to give his opinion about stuff like this, about game mechanics but not about what he thinks of actual players. By making these posts, he’s able to coast and seem helpful without saying anything of value. He has not taken any stances at all, except for sinz. Other than that, no one knows where he stands about anything. This is scummy because he can be just trying to stay out of the limelight and not be implicated with anyone so that he can’t be connected to anyone if they die. Scum read, wouldn’t mind his lynch.
11. The_Truth
Not gonna do a full PBPA on you cuz I’ve been writing this post for a long *** time and I am getting lazy. Also you have a crap load of unnecessary filler posts that I’d rather not sift through.
71. This is the post that started it all. I advocated for T_T’s lynch earlier on because I didn’t want this post nagging at the back of my head all game. Also note in that posts, how he comments about how there has been a lot of stuff going on, but he fails to give what he thinks about any of this stuff. His
73 was his immediate response. Like I said in the post directly after, he never made said anything about his previous mafia experiences in any other thread. Basically I agree with what Pierre said in his
275 about truth. But to expand on that…
His
127 was the first post he made where he tells me what he thinks about someone. And it’s a bull**** post too. It seems very opportunist [there was a BW on him already going] and noncommittal. “I’m usually not one to hop on bws” just seems like he’s trying to prevent himself from getting called out for getting on the bw when he does eventually decide to vote Cacti. Then a lil while later in his
171 he foses chaco. This is suspect because he does it right after people began to be suspicious of Chaco. Similar to what he did with cacti, he gets on the BW but doesn’t vote. It seems like he’s trying to nudges these wagons without ever putting his vote behind em .
In his
302, he responds to peoples comments about him and then gives his opinions on other people. He get’s on the swords wagon. I believe he puts him L-2or1. Another opportunist move. In his
315 he says he’s ok with a riddle lynch. Not sure why… but he also says he’s iffy about rockin. Which is interesting since he was seemingly suspicious of chaco previously. He clearly is ok with Riddle because he is perfectly fine with just going with the flow and lynching whoever is the current popular opinion.
And then he goes onto his omgusy case against me about me being a lyncher and what not. Lulzy at best. Truth has shown absolutely no interest in finding whose scum. He was inactive and unhelpful. He has not gave his input on important matters. Clearly the play
12. Gheb_01
He’s just town. By far. Completely helpful, brings up good points, gives his opinions, comments on everything. Theres no way he can be scum. If you are scum gheb, then really ****ing good ****.
13. KevinM
Dunno where he stands. Great case against chaco. But hasn’t really been commenting on much of anything else going on in the game. Playing like KevinM always plays. Dunno why he got all annoyed, was very weird and something to look out for in the future. Neutral/town read.
People need to realize. That I have 2x as many posts as anyone else. So just because you can make a post filled with 8 posts where I make statements and than don’t back them up doesn’t mean that that’s generally how I’ve been this whole game. You have to be ignorant to imply that I haven’t been trying to push discussion along.
Ok with a Truth, Mentos, or Rockin lynch in that order.
