Are you serious?

No. Don't deflect what I said because you're doing exactly what you're calling me out for. Actually respond to what I said to you and you'll see why your argument is bad

Also, you say my case is "bad" [even though anybody who rereads the thread can tell that I'm spot-on in this case] but you don't really say what's so bad about it, you just offered a different interpretation of your play but it is no better than what I have argued. And the first conclusion you draw from a "weak" case is that I am purposefully reaching to paint you as scum [which really wouldn't be necessary at this point], which conveniently is the only scenario where it'd make sense for me to be scum.

And you accuse me of reaching?

**** outa here

A different conclusion?

Seriously?

Do I need to pull up the posts in question to show you how full of **** you are?

Well I guess I don't have a choice in that matter.

I'mma just sit my vote on you so we don't forget in the meantime. Hope you don't mind.

Vote: soup
This post pretty clearly says what I was doing with my vote. It was just because I was in the middle of gauging his alignment with the series of questions I was asking him and he left partway through so I wanted to make sure he didn't just drop it because I wasn't done with him.

The Day ended before I had a chance to continue it, but by the time I got back in thread I had a solidified townread on soup. No need to pursue that further, but I was never interested in lynching him.

You can look for yourself at how D2 went about.

I hummed and hawed on my shenan read unable to come to a firm conclusion either way but generally defaulting to initial feels that him vs soup was TvT (which I stated in-thread D1).

I hated JTB's jump on soup so I went for JTB. Shenan was not on the wagon. I did not scumread him at this time.

The wagon progressed and a JTB lynch looked more and more likely. Shenan joined it without having proclaimed dislike for JTB earlier. I saw this and thought it looked strange, my first thought was that he was bussing, so I went over my shenan read again and started feeling a scum read mostly off of a connection to JTB. My JTB read was of more concern though because this new shenan scumread (read: new, as in just developed) hinged on my JTB read at the time.

Next Day rolls around and I was wrong on JTB. I find my about shenan that concerns me and he becomes priority number 1, as he HAS BEEN THIS ENTIRE DAY PHASE. I have paranoia of YOLO's slot that shenan also shares, but so what? Shenan is still my priority and I would not go YOLO first so I don't see your point. You're reaching hardcore if you're trying to incriminate me for having reads that share an overlap with one of my scumreads.

YOLO and shenan both don't like Nabe, but YOLO also doesn't like shenan. OMG YOLO is siding with shenan on a read even though he's a scumread, obv scum. See how ridiculous this sounds?

If you still think I'm scum for sharing mutual reads with one of my scumreads then this conversation is over and you are too dense for me to reason with. Or you're scum using your pushing weak **** meta to try to get a wagon on me and save your scummate shenan (more likely)

oh what the actual ****
We think he's an extremely obtuse but innocent bro based on his play. I know that's not a popular opinion with you but it's the truth.

ruy stop liking people ****-talking vinyl and play the game
You know who else is doing that right now and would be the right direction to take this day phase?: Nabe.


He hasn't done anything to put pressure on players. He's been posting only occasionally, chipping in with observations.
More votes please

no, see, this is exactly why marshy's calling your play liquid. at one point, you were coming in here with the most whack 180 in the game, suddenly changing your read on ruy after a replacement asks you your opinion. now, without any significant rhyme or reason, your read has ONCE AGAIN 180'd.

I want to like YOLO for his lynch list lining up with mine and for the thoughts and stuff he's pitching in being stuff I feel like nodding my head at but I'm just so paranoid and I know he'd definitely have no problem with bussing

could the scumteam be shenan/Nabe/Vinyl? That would be convenient and alleviate all my paranoia but I just can't help but feeling one of the townier players (YOLO/Gheb/Laundry) are scum
so resolve the paranoia

remember how i told you yesterday to work through that read? you haven't yet and i'm thoroughly disappointed in that fact.

That quote is a response to two separate questions. The first line is about you, the second is about Shen's Ryu read.
so it's even worse then. instead of trying to explain why, you simply answer "why is your read on him this" with "i can't read him in the first place."

I hate not being able to post in poetry. Why you guys gotte be so obtuse >_<

1.) You've both pushed and nudged soup Day 1. Antoine pointed it out. Who knows where that push would've let to had BSP not gotten himself modkilled.
2.) Both of you have been on the JTB wagon [plus you've been vocal about him being scum with shen]
3.) You are both having YOLO in your scumteam as well in a similar "sleeper" position within the team

What I'm getting at should be pretty clear now. Shen has been your most consistent scumread for most of the game. Did you seriously not realize yet that you've voted alongside him on the biggest wagon Day 1 [soup], the biggest wagon and successful lynch of Day 2 [JTB] and that you've essentially brought YOLO into play as a potential scumbag together toDay - after him being seen as either townie or null by the entire roster up until now? For how sure you are that he's a scumbag you surely have agreed with a lot of what he has said and done.

:059:
don't forget nabe, though nabe's a trendy scumpick for a lot of players at the moment as well.

that said

aight, weekend's over guys and we can't really put this **** off anymore

ruy and soup, stop liking and start posting. there's been a significant enough gap since your last meaningful comments and i want to hear more out of you. we've had more exchanges between shen and myself, potato and gheb, and shen and nabe, and i know for both of you, that should be enough to really put your head somewhere. i have a feeling both of you are town and i really don't want to be wrong on that. please, for the love of gog, play this game. if town is to win this game, providing you two are still town, then it will probably be won on your backs, not mine or marshy's.

we have a lynch to put somewhere. while i understand that we have time, per say, it is still dwindling down and i don't think this lynch is at all as decided as some (potato) are making it out to be. it could be shen, it could be nabe, it could be someone else who hasn't really jumped up the lynch pool and i'm not at all okay with town's complacency at the moment. we still have 72 hours but i don't want to pick a "**** it" lynch.

rake, claim, don't draw it out any longer. no more stalling out of that slot. no more hiding things. no more "shh let me do this". you've lost your privilege in this game to take your time because you're stalling out reactions and information so long to the point where stuff can be unnatural or rushed and i don't like that. it's actually mad scummy to me because it sounds like you're taking your time just to formulate reads so they look "okay" and formulate a safeclaim or formulate a reason for a stupid action or the like.

let's get this game rolling.

no yolothugginflame751, are you still committed to shen or would you rather go somewhere else?

gheb, is it potato or no one today?

yeah go head and lay out whats good with the playerlist shenani. every time ive played with rake he comes in postgame and talks about how right he was and that his gut reads were bomb. so go head dude. dazzle me while youre alive
where are you at shenani? me/nabe/soup = scum to you. youre iffy on potato with a town alignment with a gun to your head. i need clearer stances and your slot is frustrating me cuz of how liquid you are. you come in and press a few points then bounce. when i look at most other players i at least have a good idea where theyre at but i need you to extrapolate on ****. i like how you keep noting soups bull****. i like what youre doing with nabe. weve got like 5 days to deadline (2 of those likely to go to **** due to the weekend) and you have a wide range youre aiming at. narrow it down
@Rake.

i want your cards on the table in particular. youve got time for puns with this game on a critical state so lets hear it

The reason I'm perfectly capable of acknowledging aspects of your play I despise is because I've spent my entire mafia career seeing them. I helped push the Potter mislynch based on them. I got sunk by them in Pick Your Poison. I towntunneled you on them in Touhou. Why are you treating this as new information?

so what do you make of his most recent conversation with potato?
It's still completely exposition; the only change was that he took his writing out of the poetry style in favour of making a coherent post. He has posted less than I expected over the course of the game, and I'm reminded of Discworld when a quiet Gheb blindsided me by winning the game as mafia when I had a stark town read on him.

This is not an active scumread. But in lieu of other players being scum, Gheb fits the profile.

Not from nothing. That was the read I was sitting on for a while but didn't want to out prematurely. Wanted to wait until I could feel the slot out a bit more so it would be more than a gut feel.
Motivation being not to ruffle feathers prematurely. And something specific helped you feel out the slot?

I don't really understand what you're getting at with the middle point Nabe. Is that you answering when shenan asked why is questioning Ruy bad? I'm a little lost with this response.
Yes. My implied response is that my problem has nothing to do with questioning Ryu, and everything to do with the circumstances in which it was done. The latter is exactly how I've been phrasing my problem with Shen's shift on Ryu, and it's Shen who is asking the wrong question, intentionally so.

Shenan actually has a good point here. Nabe's assertion that pawn being replaced by Laundry should change anything about how shenan approaches Ruy... I don't understand that at all. Pretty dumb.
You've looked at my assertion from the wrong angle. Rather than the assertion being strange as an explanation for Shen's new approach, and therefore faulty, in reality this strange assertion is the only factor that can explain Shen's new approach. The reason cited by Dietz is public disagreement of hydra heads (hydra discog); he says now retroactively that the second Ryu read was his read differing from Rake's read, posted because he had just arrived to the thread to do so. But Dietz was already here prior to that Ryu read post, and could have "corrected" the read at that juncture. It's also baffling that this new read on Ryu was first put forth as the Shen slot's read on Ryu, then later said only to be Dietz's read.

And his perception being that he can see all the reasons to dislike Laundry but believes he is right in having him as a town lean even though he admits he can't read him?
All I did was answer Yolo's question, "Why do I hate Laundry?" I can recognize aspects of a player's play that might influence another player's read without the necessity of those aspects having the same influence on my own read. And I certainly question a condemnation of my slot on the basis that my read should be a certain way, unless you find those aspects of Laundry's play that I pointed out to be scummy on his part, which isn't a read I've seen you express.


What prompted you to make this Shen/Nabe post?

lol @Kantplay trying to connect me to shenaniscum. The only one who's reaching is you right now. If you think I'm trying to "save" him by pushing you [what perverse kind of logic is that anyway] then you have not read the thread very well. I've wanted either of you dead p. much from yesterDay onward but JTB quickhammer *********** my attempts to convince people.

For what it's worth though, I really start to think that Kantrip is the scummier slot. I could've understood if he just didn't realize that he's been voting and pushing the same people as his biggest scumread all game. But not only does he refuse to accept it, he also turns the point against me and immediately concludes that I'm scummy for it rather than just being wrong. That's a very unlikely scenario to pushing and imo a panicky omgus reaction of a caught scumbag, rather than the reasonable conclusion of a townie.

Except that trying to meta-read me off a game that's over 3 years old is really freaking stupid. In Discworld the scumteam also had a very calculated approach because Swiss was the mafia bookie who'd get a second NK upon guessing the lynch of that Day correctly. The whole play was based around me making it into lategame no matter what, so he could guess on me being lynched and net the win with his 2nd kill in the following Night. That's exactly what we did and how we won. If there's *any* game in my playing history that you can't base a eta-read on, then it'd have to be Discworld mafia.

Also, I'm annoyed by the fact that people seem to think my poems where not "coherent". Even @Gorf could understand them and asked me to be more cryptic and metaphorical because they were "too easy" to understand - and we all know Gorf's st00peed :bee:
Really though, my poems were pretty coherent and understandable and everybody who actually tried to understand them *did* understand them [and it not I'd explain it anyway]. Yall people are just whack.

And just as I hit the submit button I see that I missed Nabe's vote on shenan. That puts him at L-1.

For once I am in favor of him claiming. Something I noticed is that Kantrip has tried to lump a couple of poeple with him toDay [namely Yolo, Nabe and me]. It just seems that a lot of Kantrip's play all game has centered around him and I think his claim might tell us a couple of thingsand confirm / disprove some theories.

I've been actively lurking not because I didn't want to post, but because I didn't feel like I needed to. The thread is moving at such a fast pace however that it's amazing that I can hardly keep up with it. I've skimmed some arguments but I believe Shen's vote on Nabe was strikingly odd at first glance, and I feel like it came without warrant. I don't know how to feel about Nabe still. He seems different, more methodical in his approach even for his own typical self.

I think Kantplay described it best, he's got a heavier diction and a more formal appearance this time around. I don't understand how his reads work either to be honest, or why he even bothered to mention. Something I don't like is the lack of action from Nabe and while he's certainly more active than Joey was, he still hasn't laid a vote anywhere iirc. I don't know what he is waiting for, or what his recent influx of posts meant to him. I doubt I will get an answer either way.

I haven't delved much into the Gheb/Kantplay interaction but I do know that Gheb is essentially telling Kantplay that the way he would vote with his main scum-reads is alarming to him. I think in hindsight Gheb's argument is sufficient but yet again Kantplay has been kind of hand-waving his read on Shen throughout the whole game. If anything, the inconsistency is what bothers me. It's not about the fact he voted with his aforementioned scum-read, it's the fact he kept going in an out with it. Something I don't understand about Kantplay this game is that he tends to be more silent about his conflicting reads and I don't understand how he reaches any conclusions that way. If he kept having issues with Shen, why didn't he just try and reason with Shen himself? It's a main reason why I can't fully town-read Kantplay right now because I don't trust that he would do this, neither is it townie of him not to do it. I don't see Kantplay interacting with anyone unless nudged or provoked, otherwise, he has played in the sidelines for the remainder of the game. This is why Shen's flip is important to me, as I feel I will have more to work with and look at.

Red Ryu's choice to constantly like posts instead of producing content is heavily bothersome and I don't know why he keeps doing it.

no but really, nobody else has a comment on this?
It's weird how Shen also keeps flip-flopping on Ryu and I think it holds merit to look at on his flip? You're the one who mentioned that he dropped his likeness for Ryu for a moment when the replacement came back in but apparently they solved what they didn't like Ryu even though they did hardly any discussion with each other?

Washed is seriously spot-on with his dislike of Shen, even if he's not the only one saying it. Washed, have you considered the idea of Shen and Ruy being mates?

Possible but unlikely at the moment. Has nothing to do with interaction and everything to do with the way Ruy's playing right now.

Alright, I'm prepared to claim but I've asked Dietz if he thinks it's the best path we can take for town. If we both agree it is then we'll put our cards on the table.

You're the lynch for the day unless your claim saves you. We don't need you to sit on your hands and do nothing. I'm asking nicely for you to claim.

Just noticed L-1. I'll just go over his head.

We are Cop.

Got a N1 inno on Ryu hence my unwavering insistence on his townhood , and a N2 Inno on Washed. ( unbelievably).
Dietz and i agreed that we'd have to bash ryu's play a little and question it when we did because we didn't want to draw attention to oursleves for sticking to the read during legitimately questionable play.

It's self preserving as hell but we figured constantly insisting he was town like I was would draw too much attention.
So that's that.

I'm thinking about it. I don't know quite yet but I definitely don't want to risk losing a legitimate cop. The bodyguard serves a purpose to protect a PR so while I don't really like going into setup analysis, I think it would make sense for a role like cop to exist. If we're buying your claim then the team resides in Vinyl./Nabe/Potato/YOLO and Gheb. I'm not counting myself for obvious reasons.

Vinyl. is a slot that is going to get modkilled at this rate. Is everyone content with taking a chance and no lynching because of this? I know it's not advised, but we're in a special situation here. Lynching two people right now would be really unwise, and I think everyone can agree with that. I think if Shen is real then a legitimate cop would have to have something to counter-act, like a Godfather or a Roleblocker of sorts. This is simple speculation and nothing more.

That was my thing. After Luigi's I really really didn't want to claim with the lack of information floating around here because of what went down there.
