Already said that in post #487, but Rosa hasn't gotten back to that yet.You quoted my question without answering it.
He will consistently do nothing all game and when he does push it will show to be far less sincere.Before everyone left the wagon I was really hoping we could get enough votes on him that J would play
Town
Kantrip's posts are the first time I've seen the WoTT scum push spelled out in a way that made sense to me. I still believe it's too little of a point in the first place to lynch a person on, but put Wott just outside of a minor scum lean.
Just gonna point out that my ryker post had nothing to do with J, and I'm not even sure how you connected the two at all. Otherwise I still stand by what I said before about Ryu, I still don't think that alone was enough to vote him on, I mean all things considered Ryu could have just been confused. Trying to pin me to his slot if he's scum because I was the first person to bring him up but then didn't spend the entire rest of the game focusing on it, and actually posted about other things (I never cleared Ryu) doesn't make sense. It's an unreasonable standard to say the fact that I didn't vote for him then (when no one did even when I brought it up) somehow means me, out of everyone else, is scum.
And I've never played a game with J before, all I know is everyone was so happy to have him be their moderator, so I was expecting him to put in effort. Not coast to the point that he'd let everyone lynch him just so he can sit in his corner. If you guys weren't clamoring that he always plays like this I'd be shocked at the fact he's not being lynched. Since it's apparent really he doesn't' care at all about what happens to him, and everyone else insists he always does this no matter what, I'm fine with letting him sit in his special snowflake room while the rest of us play the game. If it continues into Day 2 I'm going to bring it up again.
This is a really good point
Please tell me what scumJ's meta is.
Please no one else answer this
Current reads
Town+town leans: Rake, Spak, Kantrip
Scum leans: Ryu, J
Everyone else null
I think if Ryker doesn't post today he should be replaced, I don't know him well but from what I do know him lurking is probably him just not playing instead of a playstyle. If we can replace him I'd rather do that then policy lynch.
This is just a quick catch up, didn't get to really check up much at all yesterday, I'm noticing now that players like Gheb and Fandango (despite how much he's posted) have slipped past me most of the times in my reasd, and the WoTT thing is honestly something that makes my eyes glaze over when I start to read it, i'll touch on this later when I come back
I find this post to be a lot better,There's a difference between not doing anything and generating filler content to SEEM like you are doing anything. He's been consistently posting, but he is not really doing anything with it. Who do you think is a worthwhile D1 Lynch?
What content?
Wish J would address somethings answered I suppose but posts like this make me feel better about the slot over other ones.Can you tell what about your gut makes me read as scummy to you? Also that #233 may be a bit filler, but at the same time I am posing a question as to why Maven would have a problem with alphas as he suggested. Continue reading down more so I may show why I asked that question.
I don't think either of your options accurately describe how I feel about WoTT's push on Spak, because both ways give him an out in terms. I feel his push on Spak looked like an "easy opportunity" jump and followed Laundry onto it. If I remember correctly, Laundry started the push on Spak and after looking back on the push and finding that I find Spak leaning more town, it leads me to dislike WoTT's attempt of pushing Spak, especially since nothing came of it.
Short-hand response: WoTT doesn't seem to have done either of what you suggested, in my eyes, and instead looks to have pushed him on opportunity rather than actual scum-hunting.
D1 I am always light-footed which has been said, but every time someone says this, they seem to say it begrudingly as well. I guess you can say I am dragging my feet because I am also on vacation/taking a lighter approach to this game. That's the honest truth haha. I came to play this game as more of a social game and help with sparking some life into DGames because it has been abysmal lately.
How does the way Ryker constructed his post have anything to do with helping me find out his alignment? I don't get the point of the question, but to answer: I feel Ryker has a similar style to Swiss (as I stated beforehand) where he comes in and tries to talk/get connected with tons of people. It may seems random/arbitrary, but we all know it has a meaning behind it and also a reason behind each those questions asked. He's getting responses. The only problem I have with Ryker is that he hasn't really done anything at all as of yet and has been sitting back which is new for me to see. However, fair is fair and since I do it, I haven't commented on it yet. Ryker is like me in a sense where if he is the game longer, it is easier to read him. Posturing is not the word I would use per say.
Posturing is not scummy though, at least in the sense we are talking about currently.
My turn though:
What do you make of Laundry's pretty much just +1'ing your content as of late? I'd also like to hear more about Fanny from you.
I'm sorry if this comes across as curt/rude, but are you new here? I mean to say this in a way that isn't offensive, but if you have played with Ryker before this would make sense, but I don't recall you ever playing a game with him so this is just coming across as odd to me. What is wrong with someone having take charge? Hypothetically, one could be an alpha and town and take charge which could win the game. Especially coming off personal experience, I see both sides of the coin. I just don't like your phrasing on it.
Tbh, I am surprised you aren't on me. Last I remember, you are one of the few people who are always on me regardless of what game it is. It is striking me as a bit off that you aren't trying to combat me like you usually do.
Next thing is just a minor annoyance point for later on in the game/connection trails:
[collapse=Stop this.]
[/collapse]
Stop doing these lists on D1. It is muddying up reading and the lists can be much more succinct. We do not need to know every null read in the game. Keep your lists clean and more importantly, scum reads to the top. We need more reads lists like this to see thoughts.
I'm gonna go more into the direct attacks on me/give some reads I am feeling out currently.
You did not use the right command to vote. (Make sure to use Vote: Maven, colon included, as it makes it easier for me to sift through pages when I am double checking the vote count.)Vote Maven
I dunno how you're not seeing scumJ here if that's what you're saying, that last line seems to explain J's play perfectlyJ is patient as town because he works better with a paper trail, he wants something to happen or someone to die before he can figure out other players.
J as scum doesn't really use this or make it apparent. If he does it is a lot more shallow. J looks for that reason as town and makes it clear.
I don't know what kind of question that is supposed to be. Am I supposed to lynch Ryu for disagreeing with him?How do you not when you're on board with the J lynch?
@RosalinaSGSRosie, mind summing up your scum reads? Your posts tend to be long and cover a lot of subjects and quotes that aren't necessarily related to one another. It's kinda hard to see where your head's at right now.
No I don't actually. Are you saying that your caution towards Spak is the same as mine?Dancer seems to understand why I questioned Spak and why I am not giving a for sure town free pass. I don't think he is likely scum right now but I do want to see him contribute more than what he is.
No he's not accusing you of being paranoid but rather he's suspicious you were faking the Spak pressure, using your willingness to "let it be known" that you were trying to pressure.Uhh because I was? I asked him for his mindset in full in a single so o could piece it together better.
Yes I got paranoia, have you seen me in games with Swiss/Kuz and others who I can never pin down? Are you seriously saying this new for me in mafia games?
I get paranoid of being wrong in mafia games, and you should know this.
The only thing that bothers me here is the bolded. It just seems strange to say that you're "not afraid" of admitting that you have no direction. Why wouldn't you be afraid of that, regardless of alignment? I guess that I can't speak for you but for me regardless of my alignment I'm scarred ****less of not having stances or appearing to not have stances? Like seriously why pride yourself in that? If anything, it just reads as a dishonest statement.I haven't, best I have been doing is trying to find a slot that makes sense for me to be scum.
I looked at Spak first, then he explained himself and I backed off.
I am not sold on J scum right now.
If Wott is scum, I need to reread the past posts he made way earlier.
Only thing I have been able to do is narrow down where to look via town reads, because I don't have a direction nor have I seen anywhere with a tell. I'll look at it tomorrow, but you need to work with me rather than fight me.
I don't have solid direction right now and I am not afraid of saying that.
What do I even got else to look Maven's posts at Ryker? I don't think that has merit to be scum, questioning sure but not scum.
Rosa? At worst, I don't like the Spak tunneling. Dancer has a better explanation to me. Rosa I don't recall as much of this.
Gheb? I've seen nothing to hate him over if anything I like what he has posted.
Ryker? If he proud dodges the game I would lynch him.
Kantrip? Not enough there right now.
I don't see a true scum pick right now nor anything that sticks out as a tell.
I did quote it, literally right below the part you were responding to.not really. tbh, I wouldn't even call what I had on Watt as a scum read, more of just I wouldn't mind if he was lynched as much I would a random person.
I'm not actually too sure what question this is. Mind quoting it?
As for Spak, I'm not too sure anymore. He definitely seemed scum, and tbh his confession doesn't push too many of my buttons. But it is quite contrived, but it also feels like a get out of free card. So... he's still scum imo, but slightly weaker read now. But pretty much the same.
As for how I'm going to lynch him... I actually have no idea. I get that I'm supposed to ask questions, but I have no questions to ask him. Any I may have had have been answered, and we've reached an impasse I've no idea how to breach.
Gheb and i moved to rykerWith 13 players in all, it takes 7 to lynch!

Maven, Kantrip and Laundry have voiced interest in lynching Ryu. Rosie has made implications in that direction I think?Someone get me a votecount. Also tell me who has expressed interest in a lynch on that Dancer lynchpool if possible, but that's a tall order. Would help me a lot.
The complaints you made about how J was playing are the exact same made against Ryu but you don't ever explain why you think they're different. This is not a "manipulation", it's asking you to explain why you think thatI don't know what kind of question that is supposed to be. Am I supposed to lynch Ryu for disagreeing with him?
I'm asking Ryu why he's not interested when J is playing to what he says is ScumJ meta. I'm clearly suggesting that Ryu has no real reason to not push him. Why don't you like that?
I don't like the way he's pushing Ryu for not being very interested in a J lynch
I don't even think we're playing the same game. Wtf are you talking about? You were voting J for scummy behavior, I'm saying Ryu is playing the same and asked you to explain why this is different.I hate how he tried to manipulate me into going after Ryu for what's essentially nothing more than a disagreement - one that's not even specifically related to this game, mind you.
OK, so I kinda agree with Fanny and Brodancer on J.
Tells me you think J is scummy, and then attack someone who doesn't vote J for meta, which gave me the impression you agreed with the J push even if it wasn't your first choiceI guess I'll never understand that way of looking at things.
So you actually think there are scummy shades in J's play but choose to ignore them because "it's J". Yet if it were somewhere else you'd consider it scummy and actually pursue it? That kind of double standard is bad in more than one way because on the one hand there's a decent chance that you're just glossing over legitimately scummy play and brush it aside because "it's X" and on the other hand it can also give off the impression that you simply try to avoid taking a clear stance. You're not making it clear where you actually stand on that matter.
So let's make this clear - do you think his play is suspicious or not? If somebody else were to play the way he does, would you think it's worth pushing a slot for or not?
