S-FM 211 :
Three Foes and a Strangers
(Click Me for Setup) (http://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/35829-S-FM-Three-Foes-and-a-Stranger?p=584729&viewfull=1#post584729)

In the Absolute Serious Republic of Arizona were a small random town that none has heard of called Gunlurk.
Everyone were peaceful in Gunlurk, most were focused on playing silly games on their mobile phones.
Guns were banned in 2019 and so there were no criminal activity at all...
... That is until the fateful day of 2020 when a band of three gangsters came in town and started blazing bullets all over the towns people.
The police arrived to stop them only to be peppered down by the tommy guns.
Satisfied with the random killing spree, the three gangsters quickly disguised themselves as members of the town.
Will the special snowflakes of Gunlurk find and kill the three gangsters?
Luckily one of them captured a totally not taken from internet photo of the gangsters using their windows phone.
Now go find them, We guess.

Anyway, I'll start off with an opening message to the new players and smurfs in the game.

1. Don't be afraid to post your opinions on the game. Even if you're unsure of something, saying as much or trying to talk through your thought process is a lot better than not posting. (it helps the town get a read on you)

2. If you think someone is scummy or made an odd post, you should 100% be questioning them about it.

3. Remember that most of the players you'll be talking to are town. Don't immediately assume that just because someone is playing badly means that they are mafia. It's good to view what people are posting from a town/ mafia perspective to see which one makes the most sense. (think "why would X alignment post this? What are they saying and trying to achieve here? Could they have an agenda behind posting this? What's the context?")

4. Don't randomly role-claim just because someone is suspecting/ pressuring you. This just helps the scum narrow down what townies have what roles a lot more easily.

(in fact, best not to give out your role unless you are close to being lynched and people are asking you for it. And even then, be cautious about doing that)

5. To the Citizens, these points are especially applicable because citizens are there to take the hit for TPRs. The more players help the town, the easier it is to find the scum.

6. Feel free to give a read on what my alignment could be based off this post if you want somewhere to start off :)

7. And if you're confused on anything, feel free to ask us or the host any questions.

At the moment, there's really nothing of substance. Second and you are the only people who have really done anything that can be read, but at the moment I don't see anything there. You are probing Mesk at the moment.

There may be a Day 1 Lynch, but I don't think Day 1 is an appropriate time for us to be lynching.

You can try to participate in Random Voting Stage (where you vote for someone for flimsy/ trolly reasoning to try and start discussion) if you want to put your money where your mouth is.

Why don't you think a Day 1 Lynch is appropriate?

Should probably note that FM games don't have a lot of TPRs and things like a Sheriff revealing a Mafia are rare compared to the mod :)

Well, I can understand where you're going with that, but I do not agree.

1.) If you think someone is scum, lynching them narrows the pool of players who are less suspicious opposed to the more suspicious.

2.) Lynching means we have a chance to lynch a scum. If you don't lynch you don't have that chance.

3.) We (usually) get something to work with after such lynch. There could be two suspects and we don't know who to lynch, or we get a scum and catch connections.

Overall, Lynching is much more beneficial for me.

Snorlax
September 12th, 2016, 12:47 PM
Most setups are designed on the assumption that the town mislynches on Day 1. While mislynching is bad in the sense that the town is down a member, we shouldn't settle for a No Lynch because it means that we cannot adequately pressure the scum into revealing information/ slipping.

As it stands, I'm thinking Mesk, Stereo, Unknown are town and Second Lynch is scummy. Not a bad start even if it's slow.

1.) If you think someone is scum, lynching them narrows the pool of players who are less suspicious opposed to the more suspicious.
We have power roles for a reason, like Sheriff and Investigator. While we shouldn't have to crutch on them, its still only Day 1.


2.) Lynching means we have a chance to lynch a scum. If you don't lynch you don't have that chance.
There's like a 1/3 chance of us getting a scumbag. I don't like those numbers, especially for Day 1 with power roles included in the town. If its a townie, we have given the Mafia or (potentially and, depending on which neutral we got) the Neutral 1 less person to kill.


3.) We (usually) get something to work with after such lynch. There could be two suspects and we don't know who to lynch, or we get a scum and catch connections.
That's great, and I can see the logic, but its still Day 1. We're still waiting on how many people to even post? Things aren't in full swing yet. (Unless this is about what I'm supposed to expect from a Day 1.)

That's just how I feel in regards to the Day 1 lynch.

A. Relying on TPRs in FM games is almost-always going to end poorly. Night actions don't win games. Being proactive in the chat does.

While I disagree with the premise of your posts, you have the right mindset when you are defending your viewpoint and explaining where you are coming from. Good attitude to have to find players who are acting suspiciously in the chat.

tl;dr: Forget TPRs. Pretend that they don't exist and that the chat is the ONLY thing you have to find scum. You'll be ten times more effective at finding and lynching scum. Even better, the TPRs get more information to inform their night actions with.

It's a win-win.

Even if you don't want to lynch, it's still best to act like you do so that anyone you pressure will respond accordingly.

This is my first Mafia game on a forum, it doesn't strike me well that we're supposed to ignore(?) our power roles. They exist for a reason, and they are tools for us. I definitely see what you're saying, but I am not saying we don't act until a power role gives us something of substance.

You seem to be too reliant, but let's look at this in another approach.

You don't know what TPR we have, therefore you cannot know if they will be of value or not. Not to mention that anything could go wrong, (check someone who dies, die, get no result,) which is suggesting we have a role it's possible we do not.

Secondly, people are in different timezones and could be busy at this moment. Don't expect it to be super active immediately.

I don't see a reason why you should be super close-minded about lynching today. If you find somebody scummy that you could lynch over checking them, why wouldn't you?

Obviously if a TPR has a damning night result, then we should use that. I am saying that we should not sit around and wait for one to happen, but if you agree on that point then I am satisfied.

(although if a Sheriff finds a Mafia on Night 1, they shouldn't reveal it first thing on Day 2. Trying to get the mafia lynched without revealing > revealing straight away because that yields more information about who defends the mafia. It also means the mafia are less likely to catch onto the person being Sheriff and thus cannot counter the Sheriff with their Framer/ Consort/ whatever as easily)

Site is slow activity-wise. School has just started and a lot of the players here are low-posters. (which is why you have to work to analyse what they do post) I am most likely going to be the most active player in the game.

I think you're town and this discussion has served its purpose in my opinion, so I'm going to drop it unless you want to ask me anything.

No, I don't know. But anyone who is town aligned is valuable solely for that fact. I will not discount the fact that we may or may not have certain roles, but at the moment I will remain content. Day 2 is what I am waiting for at the moment. There will be much more to work with then, more concrete information.


Secondly, people are in different timezones and could be busy at this moment. Don't expect it to be super active immediately.
Genuinely overlooked this, will keep this in mind for the future.

Scummy, but not scum for sure? That's reason enough for me to not vote them. I've seen it far too many times where we lynched someone we thought for sure was scum, but turned out to be town. I am not discounting lynching in the future, but for today I will not be an accomplice to it. You guys go nuts.

Missed your post, but I saw it now.


No, I don't know. But anyone who is town aligned is valuable solely for that fact. I will not discount the fact that we may or may not have certain roles, but at the moment I will remain content. Day 2 is what I am waiting for at the moment. There will be much more to work with then, more concrete information.


Genuinely overlooked this, will keep this in mind for the future.

We have power roles for a reason, like Sheriff and Investigator. While we shouldn't have to crutch on them, its still only Day 1.


There's like a 1/3 chance of us getting a scumbag. I don't like those numbers, especially for Day 1 with power roles included in the town. If its a townie, we have given the Mafia or (potentially and, depending on which neutral we got) the Neutral 1 less person to kill.


That's great, and I can see the logic, but its still Day 1. We're still waiting on how many people to even post? Things aren't in full swing yet. (Unless this is about what I'm supposed to expect from a Day 1.)

That's just how I feel in regards to the Day 1 lynch.


This is my first Mafia game on a forum, it doesn't strike me well that we're supposed to ignore(?) our power roles. They exist for a reason, and they are tools for us. I definitely see what you're saying, but I am not saying we don't act until a power role gives us something of substance.


Its day 1 and not everyone has posted. We're not winning yet.


I'll vote to pressure, sure, but I won't let myself be included in a lynch on the first day.

The reasoning behind this mindset is a recent transition from sc2mafia to forum mafia. Statistically speaking, he is correct in how we should not have a lynch day 1, as it will most likely reduce the town's numbers, giving the mafia and neutral scum, the advantage.
However, if we go deeper, we will find that while the odds of hitting a scum on day 1 are low, it will give us a great advantage, especially if we hit a serial killer (if he exists). I will not lynch or pressure Stereo today because I know exactly where his behavior is originating from and I can relate to it, as I was town in most of my newb games.

But, yeah, lynching day 1 is a good thing for a couple reasons:

Wagonamics - VCA (vote count analysis) can be used for later days (only works with lynches)
Based on stances in combination with a flip can help town solve the game.

SecondLynch
September 12th, 2016, 04:12 PM
Yoyoyo! I'm here, the game can start.

Let's start from the start.

The Calix's opener was a hard "I am this town's leader" claim. It is shown by this:
And if you're confused on anything, feel free to ask us or the host any questions. "Ask me questions, I am the town leader."

What does this say about the Calix's alignment?
1) She rolled town. She encourages the new players to collaborate so she can read 'em correctly so she can carry the game home.
2) She rolled Neutral.
2a) Survivor. It doesn't make sense for her to proclaim herself town leader as Survivor, she's drawing Kim Kardashian attention to her by doing so, survivors should want to lie low.
2b) Jester. Yes, she attracts everyone's attention (which is what le jester would want), but the tone of her post don't feel like a jester's, and there are much more efficient ways of appearing scummy to be lynched. I seriously doubt it's this scenario, but then again, WIFOM.
2c) Executioner. She claims town leader so that her reads are to be sheeped, and, thus, she can get her target lynched. Possible.
2d) Serial Killer. Claiming town leader allows her to control the flow of the thread, lets her play the town game by still wanting to eliminate the mafia, and looks town. This is a really ballsy move to do, as she would need to be absolutely confident in her ability to pocket the majority of the thread for her to stay town leader, and given that she knows that I'll be reading every single one of her words with the attention of a jailkeeper watching the inmates, I doubt this is the right scenario.
2e)Witch. Yeah, no. It makes her more of a night target than she already is (Definition of Calix by the Urban Dictionary: One who is nightkilled on Night 1.). She would need to appear town leader so she can find the scum and hope that she can control their nightkill to kill whoever she wants. Ballsy. Bad. No.
3) She rolled scum. She wants the new players to trust her and to collaborate with her so that she can control the flow of the thread and protect her teammates. Probable.

1 is the most likely in my book.



Next, she finds me scummy for posting random stuff. What a shocker it is for NeverUnlucky the Troll to post random shit day 1.



Mesk’s opener makes me think she’s town. She basically claimed that she was town, and last time she was scum, she didn’t do the « I AM MESK, I AM ALWAYS TOWN » shit before day 2 iirc.

Gyrlander & Yuki’s openers were NAI.

Now, Unknown…

I have really discovered my appreciation for sheep quite recently.
I’m not sure why he made that post this way…
If he’s saying that he will be sheeping this game, then his post is dumb at best and scummy at worst.
If he meant something else, he was just ASKING to be misinterpreted.


Hi my name is Stereo. I am new. Let's lynch the scum.

I like this opener. Simple and direct.


Stereo.
I love this dude’s post. He’s being honest in his posts, not afraid to give his thoughts on the D1 lynch (Though I too advocate for D1 lynches), and he has a town tone. Plus he’s new, so I do not think he is being deceptive with this and fooling me. Town-read, town-read, town-read.


Statistically speaking, it usually does not end well for us. (http://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/36913-Day-1-Lynch-Policy-Analysed?highlight=lynch)
Fuck, why wasn’t he in Give or Take?

1.) States Intention. Check.

2.) Completes Intention. Not Yet.

You are 50% done reaching your goal, good job!!


:sheep:

Complete fluff


What makes you say that Day 1 is a bad lynching time for town?

Is questioning the motive behind not lynching day 1, perfectly normal.


Well, I can understand where you're going with that, but I do not agree.

1.) If you think someone is scum, lynching them narrows the pool of players who are less suspicious opposed to the more suspicious.

2.) Lynching means we have a chance to lynch a scum. If you don't lynch you don't have that chance.

3.) We (usually) get something to work with after such lynch. There could be two suspects and we don't know who to lynch, or we get a scum and catch connections.

Overall, Lynching is much more beneficial for me.

attempting to argue with newb logic. Trying to correct newb behavior, normal.


You seem to be too reliant, but let's look at this in another approach.

You don't know what TPR we have, therefore you cannot know if they will be of value or not. Not to mention that anything could go wrong, (check someone who dies, die, get no result,) which is suggesting we have a role it's possible we do not.

Secondly, people are in different timezones and could be busy at this moment. Don't expect it to be super active immediately.

I don't see a reason why you should be super close-minded about lynching today. If you find somebody scummy that you could lynch over checking them, why wouldn't you?

Once again, questioning newb logic.


So far unknown has little to contribute, that being said it is really early in game.


I don't feel strong either way about his opener, but I'll be keeping an eye on him.

So for this setup we have a standard 13 player setup consisting of the following:

Mafia
Mafia
Mafia
Neutral
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town Random
Town Random
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

It's safe to assume that one of the Town Random is a citizen in all cases. So let's update the list.

Mafia
Mafia
Mafia
Neutral
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town Random
Town Random (Citizen)
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

That leaves us with 9 roles which are hidden to us. Let's work on the mafia first.

There are a total of 7 different mafia roles, which allows for 27 (25 if godfather is a unique role).

The following questions will have to be answered before I may continue.

Is godfather a unique role?

Is mayor a unique role?

What defines a "failure" for survivor to not use up a vest charge?

Is Agent correctly informed of exactly who visited his target, along with who his target visited?

For the janitor, what defines a "failure"?

Both the consigliere and the Investigator receive clues on who their roles are based off of the investigative pairings, yes?

Does bodyguard kill night immune roles?

Does the Mayor keep his additional vote until his death?

If framer is the only living non-town, and his target is framed as a random living non-town, yet Framer is put into a random investigative pairing. How does that work out?

You drew a comparison between two players in a different game where I am not either of them. you are basically saying I am giving you certain "vibes" that are similar to what you experienced by two different players than me in a completely different game than this. I mean what do you want me to say to that? I didn't even read that game so I don't even know if they were Scum in that game.

Yoyoyo! I'm here, the game can start.

Let's start from the start.

The Calix's opener was a hard "I am this town's leader" claim. It is shown by this: "Ask me questions, I am the town leader."

What does this say about the Calix's alignment?
1) She rolled town. She encourages the new players to collaborate so she can read 'em correctly so she can carry the game home.
2) She rolled Neutral.
2a) Survivor. It doesn't make sense for her to proclaim herself town leader as Survivor, she's drawing Kim Kardashian attention to her by doing so, survivors should want to lie low.
2b) Jester. Yes, she attracts everyone's attention (which is what le jester would want), but the tone of her post don't feel like a jester's, and there are much more efficient ways of appearing scummy to be lynched. I seriously doubt it's this scenario, but then again, WIFOM.
2c) Executioner. She claims town leader so that her reads are to be sheeped, and, thus, she can get her target lynched. Possible.
2d) Serial Killer. Claiming town leader allows her to control the flow of the thread, lets her play the town game by still wanting to eliminate the mafia, and looks town. This is a really ballsy move to do, as she would need to be absolutely confident in her ability to pocket the majority of the thread for her to stay town leader, and given that she knows that I'll be reading every single one of her words with the attention of a jailkeeper watching the inmates, I doubt this is the right scenario.
2e)Witch. Yeah, no. It makes her more of a night target than she already is (Definition of Calix by the Urban Dictionary: One who is nightkilled on Night 1.). She would need to appear town leader so she can find the scum and hope that she can control their nightkill to kill whoever she wants. Ballsy. Bad. No.
3) She rolled scum. She wants the new players to trust her and to collaborate with her so that she can control the flow of the thread and protect her teammates. Probable.

1 is the most likely in my book.



Next, she finds me scummy for posting random stuff. What a shocker it is for NeverUnlucky the Troll to post random shit day 1.



Mesk’s opener makes me think she’s town. She basically claimed that she was town, and last time she was scum, she didn’t do the « I AM MESK, I AM ALWAYS TOWN » shit before day 2 iirc.

Gyrlander & Yuki’s openers were NAI.

Now, Unknown…

I’m not sure why he made that post this way…
If he’s saying that he will be sheeping this game, then his post is dumb at best and scummy at worst.
If he meant something else, he was just ASKING to be misinterpreted.



I like this opener. Simple and direct.


Stereo.
I love this dude’s post. He’s being honest in his posts, not afraid to give his thoughts on the D1 lynch (Though I too advocate for D1 lynches), and he has a town tone. Plus he’s new, so I do not think he is being deceptive with this and fooling me. Town-read, town-read, town-read.


Fuck, why wasn’t he in Give or Take?

Also, I disliked Unknown’s interactions with him. Again, he was asking purely rhetorical questions, and it gives me the feeling of Déjà vu.

This is long, and there isn't a lot that is responsible to.

Why did you overthink your read on Calix so much? She plays completely different when she's scum and it's easy to catch on to.

My sheep post has nothing to do with me sheeping, and if it did why would me saying this make me seem scummy or dumb to you? It was me relating to the last game where I posted a sheep and it made me like Sheeps more. Think it was BFN maybe.

I don't like how people are analyzing Stereo. Saying "let's lynch the scum" is the exact definition of trying to look town too much, and I didn't feel all too strongly about it. I wouldn't think a huge amount about it, but it seems like an easy chance to manipulate someone new with less knowledge.

How do my questions even compare to the last game? Fairly certain I didn't openly ask questions to "try to scum-hunt" last game.

You are talking odd Secondpassing. Almost as if you pre-planned to turn on me using past game "feelings" as your ammunition.

Quick
September 12th, 2016, 06:11 PM
I would agree that Stereo is currently a town-lean, but I disagree about why you say this. Using comparison to a newb is wrong, you don't know how they would play so how can you counter them?

To add on, if you want to do comparison I can say myself that I did not want to lynch at all in my first game as scum. I understand comparing to myself isn't ideal but your argument feels too one-sided and biased.

Why are you Town reading stereo?

Unknown1234
September 12th, 2016, 06:13 PM
Calix has already called him out for this, he has already answered.



It makes sense from a mod player's POV. I understand where Stereo is coming from, I assume DW too.

I have a slight-scum-read of you. You're asking a rhetorical question and an irrelevant question, scumtell. You're giving me the exact same feeling as MiniZed and DB gave me in GoT and BFN.

Quick

Any comments you want to make on my wall post?

Your argument is that he reminds you of DIFFERENT people who were scum in DIFFERENT games. I'm assuming this is Secondpassing again?

Unknown1234
September 12th, 2016, 06:17 PM
What gives you the impression that is all I am doing? I also said I'm not going to just hand out a town read on stereo because he doesn't want to lynch day one and is sticking by that. No comment on that?



You drew a comparison between two players in a different game where I am not either of them. you are basically saying I am giving you certain "vibes" that are similar to what you experienced by two different players than me in a completely different game than this. I mean what do you want me to say to that? I didn't even read that game so I don't even know if they were Scum in that game. Its impossible for me to argue against because its based on "feels" in a completely different context than here.



Sometimes I have stances early and sometimes I don't. Its not bad that you have stances, its just that you should be able to argue them. So far from what I have seem fmpov you scum read on me is based on feels and that I commented on things that were not AI.



Just letting you know for future engagements with me.



because its proactive and not reactive. Proactive is Townie and reactive is Scummy. Not a big tell tho since its Scums job to do the same.

From this argument, Quick's interaction feels town and completely justified. SecondLynch is providing a completely biased opinion that cannot further any conversation or points to build off of.

Unknown1234
September 12th, 2016, 06:20 PM
Why are you Town reading stereo?

His interaction with me seems to be more open. There isn't much to say but I feel that his opinion and how he expresses it seems one that does not stand out as scummy to me. I think that scum wouldn't stand out and calling for a no-lynch to me seems town.

I also think this slot will be easy to figure out further in, so I don't feel too worried about them right now.

Unknown1234
September 12th, 2016, 06:21 PM
So for this setup we have a standard 13 player setup consisting of the following:

Mafia
Mafia
Mafia
Neutral
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town Random
Town Random
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

It's safe to assume that one of the Town Random is a citizen in all cases. So let's update the list.

Mafia
Mafia
Mafia
Neutral
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town PR
Town Random
Town Random (Citizen)
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

That leaves us with 9 roles which are hidden to us. Let's work on the mafia first.

There are a total of 7 different mafia roles, which allows for 27 (25 if godfather is a unique role).

The following questions will have to be answered before I may continue.

Is godfather a unique role?

Is mayor a unique role?

What defines a "failure" for survivor to not use up a vest charge?

Is Agent correctly informed of exactly who visited his target, along with who his target visited?

For the janitor, what defines a "failure"?

Both the consigliere and the Investigator receive clues on who their roles are based off of the investigative pairings, yes?

Does bodyguard kill night immune roles?

Does the Mayor keep his additional vote until his death?

If framer is the only living non-town, and his target is framed as a random living non-town, yet Framer is put into a random investigative pairing. How does that work out?

deathworlds is a town-read for me. I will cover this when I remember what I was going to say.

Questions & Answers Session 1 :

Is godfather a unique role?
Is mayor a unique role?
While I haven't written that they're unique, Godfather and Mayor are indeed unique.

What defines a "failure" for survivor to not use up a vest charge?
A Survivor can be Roleblocked, thus they never used their battery powered vest that lasts a single night.

Is Agent correctly informed of exactly who visited his target, along with who his target visited?
Agent targets Bob. "Bob were seen visiting Luigi. Bob were visited by Gary."

For the janitor, what defines a "failure"?
Same as a Survivor, if they're roleblocked then their battery powered broom won't work.
In addition, this includes if they target did not die. A successful attempt is cleaning a role.

Both the consigliere and the Investigator receive clues on who their roles are based off of the investigative pairings, yes?
Yes.

Does bodyguard kill night immune roles?
While this were not written in the actual setup, they can indeed kill night immune.
This is hinted by that the SK and Vigilante can "attack" while the Bodyguard can "Kill".

Does the Mayor keep his additional vote until his death?
Yes.

If framer is the only living non-town, and his target is framed as a random living non-town, yet Framer is put into a random investigative pairing. How does that work out?
Then he will frame someone as a random pairing.


Jester isn't in there. I think host has slipped that jester is not a role in this game.

Error found. Jester is among "Charismatic".

I would like to imagine this is not the case for anybody. All men are mortal in this save.


Right but I followed that up with reasons why lynching day 1 is good that haven't been said yet.
The advantage of possibly lynching a scum today outweighs what we lose if we lynch a town. If we do not lynch today, the maximum we can lose is 1 townie. Instead of the potential 2 we could lose.

DW is really pushing the town initiative right now. I am have a great deal of confidence in their Townly status.

As an aside, if people are using acronyms could they make a note for me as to their meaning? Thanks.

This is my first Mafia game on a forum, it doesn't strike me well that we're supposed to ignore(?) our power roles. They exist for a reason, and they are tools for us. I definitely see what you're saying, but I am not saying we don't act until a power role gives us something of substance.


Its day 1 and not everyone has posted. We're not winning yet.


I'll vote to pressure, sure, but I won't let myself be included in a lynch on the first day.

you cant vote to pressure if you just clearly stated you will not allow yourself to be part of a lynch D1 no one will take your vote seriously because they know you willove it before they are lynched. unknown1234

Missed your post, but I saw it now.


No, I don't know. But anyone who is town aligned is valuable solely for that fact. I will not discount the fact that we may or may not have certain roles, but at the moment I will remain content. Day 2 is what I am waiting for at the moment. There will be much more to work with then, more concrete information.


Genuinely overlooked this, will keep this in mind for the future.


Scummy, but not scum for sure? That's reason enough for me to not vote them. I've seen it far too many times where we lynched someone we thought for sure was scum, but turned out to be town. I am not discounting lynching in the future, but for today I will not be an accomplice to it. You guys go nuts.

Out of curiosity, why do you care that I will not vote to lynch today?

i find it strange that you will not be part of a lynch but tell us to go crazy? saying you don't want to be an "accomplice" as if by not voting you dont get any blame for a potential mislynch. to me this seems pretty scummy and comes off as a way to avoid responsibility but it may also just be noob behavior so Im not sure yet.

Yo my dudes.

To everyone who thinks people are being town-read solely for being noob, allow me to break down why Drizzt's opening post is sketchy as fuck.


I'm a newb and I promise, my inaction is purely out of ignorance et newbness. But feel free to believe I'm just being quiet because I have something to hide.

His first impulse is to make an excuse for why his lack of posting is not a scum tell!

This should be setting off a million alarm bells, people. Why?

He is trying to make himself less suspicious before anyone is suspecting him.

He is trying to defend himself before he has anyone accusing him. This is 100% something that only makes sense from a mafia mindset. Scum KNOW that they are guilty and feel compelled to overcompensate for this knowledge.

Furthermore, he's self-aware of the fact that lurking is considered a scum tell and instead of trying to rectify that, he makes excuses for why he won't post much. This is not someone who cares about contributing to the town.

Not to mention the tone - it's obvious that he's worried about how others will perceive him. (why else would his first post be defending himself from accusations of lurking scum?)

Contrast this with Stereo's opening. He says he is new...but is NOT using his newb status to undermine his contributions which is exactly what Drizzt is doing.

Town have NO incentive to undermine their posts from the get-go and thus Drizzt cannot be town.

Drizzt

Snorlax
September 13th, 2016, 12:42 AM
As for Quick...

I don't like him whatsoever. I was initially going to vote for him but decided to draw attention to Drizzt's post first since everyone was ignoring how much of a scum-claim that was.

He hasn't done anything useful aside from throw shade on early town-reads (e.g., Stereo and myself) and whine a bit. The fact that he criticises everyone else but isn't trying to do anything himself is what I'd expect from scum or overcautious town.

I'm leaning-scum on him given his latest posts though.


Right but I followed that up with reasons why lynching day 1 is good that haven't been said yet.

...

You're wall can be summed up to "Calix can really be any alignment at this point, but I think they are Town because the said they were going to be a leader this game." You left out where Calix could just be saying she is a leader to make herself look Town.. Not really a tricky play at all. Don't get why you are making stances so soon in the game. Unless your RVS reads are really good, your reads are prolly junk.

Basically, I think you are saying a lot of words in that wall post but not saying much. Don't expect me to play like you in this regard, I often just keep what I am saying to a few things of concern.

I think its more townie than Scummy for you to make that wall post, but ultimately Effort=/=alignment

First line reads to me like he was saying "my comment about lynching D1 was made to look like I was doing something because nobody had made that comment yet"

Second part is "you shouldn't town-read Calix because she could be scum faking town" - this is something that can be said about anyone, that they are scum who are good at faking a town persona. I see no reason to post this aside from to throw shade on town-reads because the "town or scum faking town" applies to every single town-read person ever.

Last part is "here's a weak town-read which I hedge on in the same sentence". Given what Quick said about SecondLynch (that he said too little in a massive post) this makes NO sense to conclude. If he isn't saying much, how is he actually putting in effort...? Writing words =/= effort.


What gives you the impression that is all I am doing? I also said I'm not going to just hand out a town read on stereo because he doesn't want to lynch day one and is sticking by that. No comment on that?

You drew a comparison between two players in a different game where I am not either of them. you are basically saying I am giving you certain "vibes" that are similar to what you experienced by two different players than me in a completely different game than this. I mean what do you want me to say to that? I didn't even read that game so I don't even know if they were Scum in that game. Its impossible for me to argue against because its based on "feels" in a completely different context than here.

Sometimes I have stances early and sometimes I don't. Its not bad that you have stances, its just that you should be able to argue them. So far from what I have seem fmpov you scum read on me is based on feels and that I commented on things that were not AI.

because its proactive and not reactive. Proactive is Townie and reactive is Scummy. Not a big tell tho since its Scums job to do the same.

First paragraph - he hasn't been trying to town-clear anyone else nor do I see any scum-hunting coming from him so it makes no sense for town to talk shit about someone who is doing those things. (regardless of how poorly it's being done, it's way better than what Quick's been doing)

Second paragraph - he's overly defensive because someone scum-reads him based on the fee-fees. This sticks out to me purely because Quick himself has said that responding too much to someone's gut read on you is scummy and that town would ignore it because they know they are town. This second post means that he's acting as he thinks scum would act.

Last paragraph is him saying "this is a town tell only it's not because scum can do it too"

So yeah, I can see where his train is coming from.

I'm getting bored of seeing people like Stereo and Quick (hi!) pop in and not sheep my points or counter them, so decided to reread.


Time for setup speculation?

No. If you read this before you finish your spec, can it and focus on the scum-hunting over baseless theories. Have not seen you do any of that.

Also if you're TPR, you're extremely likely to spew your role while prattling on about how the host balanced roles. (which does not help anyone find scum) Don't waste your time please.


From this argument, Quick's interaction feels town and completely justified. SecondLynch is providing a completely biased opinion that cannot further any conversation or points to build off of.

http://67.media.tumblr.com/8b612803ac6a8039b0d5a4f2c0021cc5/tumblr_ncjn22GcjK1qlfv2eo1_500.gif

No but for real, how are you TOWN-READING QUICK?


deathworlds is a town-read for me. I will cover this when I remember what I was going to say.

I'm also not sure why everyone is town-reading DWs for setup spec. (which is NAI) I don't think he's scum but I don't relate to the litany of town-reads he's getting either. If someone could explain themselves here, would be good.


It's funny how in every games the new players are automatically catalogued as Town. It happens in EVERY game.

Drittz and Stereo, welcome to the world of the Unlynchable.

Gyrlander please tell us if you are going anywhere with this line of thought. Do you disagree with the town-reads? If not, why post this?

I am ambivalent on Eggy. He hasn't done anything obvscum like he usually does as scum but these posts rub me the wrong way.


fuck you

Weird hostility to a RVS vote.


I like this wall post the most so far got you some town point from me

Weird way of giving a town-read.


this is strange lol

Lack of elaboration on why he thinks Drizzt's opener is strange.

Quick
September 13th, 2016, 02:15 AM
As for Quick...

I don't like him whatsoever. I was initially going to vote for him but decided to draw attention to Drizzt's post first since everyone was ignoring how much of a scum-claim that was.

Strong language. Seems like you like to use buzz words some, I'll keep that in mind.


He hasn't done anything useful aside from throw shade on early town-reads (e.g., Stereo and myself) and whine a bit. The fact that he criticises everyone else but isn't trying to do anything himself is what I'd expect from scum or overcautious town.

I haven't casted any shade. Because I am not quick to jump onto the same reads as everyone else is no reasons to Scum read me. Its not shade, because I haven't said in any way that stereo or yourself are actually Scum.. Just said I'm not going to jump on the "they are town" wagon. I have done a few other things, so this isn't as true to life as it appears.


I'm leaning-scum on him given his latest posts though.



First line reads to me like he was saying "my comment about lynching D1 was made to look like I was doing something because nobody had made that comment yet"

So I'm not allowed to comment on something that came up itt? That is pretty weak. It was a topic of discussion.. Why is it wrong for me to comment on it?


Second part is "you shouldn't town-read Calix because she could be scum faking town" - this is something that can be said about anyone, that they are scum who are good at faking a town persona. I see no reason to post this aside from to throw shade on town-reads because the "town or scum faking town" applies to every single town-read person ever.

No, I'm saying there is nill evidence to support that you are a definite Town read, there is a difference there. I don't think you have done anything you wouldn't do as either alignment, correct me if I am wrong here.


Last part is "here's a weak town-read which I hedge on in the same sentence". Given what Quick said about SecondLynch (that he said too little in a massive post) this makes NO sense to conclude. If he isn't saying much, how is he actually putting in effort...? Writing words =/= effort.

I disagree. Writing a lot of words takes more effort than writing less words therefor: more words = more effort. Especially considering that you have to come up with things to fill those words. That's why I'm on the fence about SecondLynch, because they put in the effort to type all that, but they weren't saying much. At this point I feel like you are just trying to defend your Towniness. I'm not saying effort = alignment here. to be clear I am saying proactive, especially early day one, usually is a town lean. That said, looking like you are doing more than you really are is a weak scum tell, so its going both ways on this one.


First paragraph - he hasn't been trying to town-clear anyone else nor do I see any scum-hunting coming from him so it makes no sense for town to talk shit about someone who is doing those things. (regardless of how poorly it's being done, it's way better than what Quick's been doing)


You're basically arguing that I have to make stances early. I do that sometimes, yeah, but its based on the feel of the game. This game I feel relaxed - don't feel like rushing into anything. I do think Unknown is probably Town, leaning Town on deathworlds for doing his thing with setup spec (because he's a setup buff) because it shows a really interest in trying to solve the setup of this game which helps town out. I think this is exactly the kind of thing death would do as Town. Reason its not a solid read is because he could know he would do that as Town. So levels and stuff.


Second paragraph - he's overly defensive because someone scum-reads him based on the fee-fees. This sticks out to me purely because Quick himself has said that responding too much to someone's gut read on you is scummy and that town would ignore it because they know they are town. This second post means that he's acting as he thinks scum would act.

I always get accused of being "defensive" when I don't feel that way at all. BTW isn't it you that has said defensiveness isn't a scum tell and no one has ever been caught as scum because they were being defensive? That's enough for me to vote you so:

I'm not saying I am TOWNIEST OF TOWNS. I am accusing you of trying to undermine anyone's attempts at town-reading players. I'd be saying the same shit regardless of who you were throwing shade on. The fact that it's on me = irrelevant to my argument.

Writing a bunch of words that says nothing is a characteristic of scum trying to look like they're contributing. Your logic makes no sense here - town has no incentive to LOOK like they are saying shit without saying anything. I don't scum-read SL for this because I disagree with your point, just pointing out your poor logic.

You can be hesitant early on. However you are not doing that. You are actively trying to prevent other people from taking strong stances. Scummy.

oh no wait

Gyrlander decided not to post sheep.

too much chilling

I've seen a more interactive Quick, he may be busy and so on but his posts don't stick out for me so far.
while reading through out the day going along with the things I had to do, everyone left some sort of impression, Quicks was that he was just chilling and kinda hanging on the outside of the game.

anyways dryer literally just rang, my life as a proper female calls.

I wasn't trying to look anything.


I've found two scum. There's the difference.

Found 2 scum you say? Well that totally tells me that what you are doing is AI. Nope, not the question I asked. I asked you if you have done anything AI yet this game.

Any attempts you say? More hyperbole from you. You do that a lot. You are saying I am saying what I am saying because it has something to do with my read on you. That is not the case at all in this instance. I am not saying that because I didn't Town read you means that you are completely valid in saying it has anything to do with you. I was talking about my read on SL the whole time. What SL's read on you is is of absolutely no consequence.

Gave a townie reaction based on what I asked him about his read on stereo.

Strong responses. I am 100% convinced you are town now.

1. Acknowledged that you didn't respond to the Drizzt case, still doesn't respond to the Drizzt case.

2. Not even sure what you are saying here. Is this the "I was playing devil's advocate" card or something?

3. "You're wrong"

4. Still haven't denied or countered why you are not scum. I'm not wasting time on self-meta'ing myself.

5. I see no counter to the "I was trying to downplay other people's town-reads" regardless of who you were referring to.

6. Why do you speak to me like you think I am town? Why am I just 'wrong' instead of scummy for proposing such ideas exactly?

Secondly, writing a lot of words is not a town tell. Writing long contentless posts is something that scum can do to blend in.

7.
"Yo why are you town-reading Unknown?"
"His reaction was townie."

Helpful.

8. Oh my god, the horror. Wanting people to take stances early on to kill scum's end-game potential and force them to minimise their ML options? What a novel concept...which you are trying to squirm your way out of, lol.

9. "didn't catch that part" - Bullshit. I just caught you acting like you think scum act and your lack of a counter to that point is incredibly damning, my friend.

10. Your response to me pushing you = OMGUS vote. Your response to Mesk scum-reading you = mockery.

Last post for me before I turn in.

The points brought against Drizzt are very strong, and I feel the same. However, instead of lynching him, if its available to us we should definitely have someone investigate him. He's either scum as you say, or feigning ignorance so the Mafia ignores him. If he's Citizen, I don't see a reason for him to just come out and say it now. If this behavior of his continues into the next day(and there's nothing that clears him), I will have to put my vote on him on Day 2.

Now that I think about it, the worst possible situation for him is to get any of the neutral roles. It is possible Drizzt is the neutral wanting to remain inconspicuous. He is isolated, has no team, and is fair game for everyone.

Quick isn't putting me off, but he's not putting me on. He's a step above Gyrlander for me, who I feel has not contributed anything of substance as of this moment. There's just nothing to read from him. Quick has at least been giving us discussion.

I am assuming that this is the mod side of you talking here. I don't play it myself but others like Unknown, DW, Gyrlander, etc do so I'm not worried about being wrong here.

I feel that you're looking for a 100% guaranteed guilty on Drizzt before you are willing to lynch him. An understandable concern to have. However I would like to explain why this is a sub-optimal way to play FM:

1. Investigatives should not be used to investigate scummy players who will be lynched.

1a. The scum are likely to mess with investigation results to mislead the town if they know how investigatives will act. This wastes a night action with misleading information. It is also wasteful to use night actions on players who are going to get lynched the following day.

Lynch scummy players so that the Investigatives do not have to waste a night action. Consider a lynch an alignment check.

2. There are rarely scenarios where someone is 100% confirmed scum. There will always be an element of doubt. It's perfectly okay to be skeptical or doubtful about the alignments of other players, but it is how the game is intended to be played. (it's more about paranoia and doubt) I understand that this is a leap from mod play (where it's easier to confirm a lot of townies) but going for someone who has a high % of being scum often yields the same results without having to use night actions :)

3. Drizzt's role is unnecessary to know. In this case, his posting has already confirmed that he is scum because it does not make sense from a town mindset. You do not NEED him to claim a role. You do not even need him to keep posting at this point - there are no townie explanations for his post, therefore he is not town.

Unless anyone can think of an air-tight town explanation for Drizzt's posting, he can be lynched and he will flip scum. This I can assure you. Once you see this, you'll realise how little TPRs matter in these kinds of games :)

(4. Contribution isn't alignment-indicative. This is a common misconception even among veteran players)

tl;dr: That post IS the alignment check. Case closed. We do not need to waste night actions to give us information which we already have.

His second post is completely irrelevant to my argument.

This isn't as dumb as you think it is. It only takes one post which doesn't make sense for town to make to make someone scum.

Well why couldn't both of them be town? (at the time of you posting that comment) You sound like you thought it was some TvS fight.

Someone who says "well this is possible" without giving their own stance on it is suspicious to me. I remember him making a flawed town-read on SL but I don't recall any of his other opinions.

I never particularly said SecondLynch was scum, but I did say that I thought Quick was more town then SecondLynch from the argument. SecondLynch makes it hard when his argument is impossible to argue with.

That being said, I don't remember the SL town-read that he had, but it's clear he acts poorly to people scum-reading him, and more approving when people town-read him. I still don't want to push away anything because right now for me this feels like a Secondpassing lynch where you think they are scum but you really don't know how to put their play as a read. I'll get back to you on this.

I always find NU easy to read so the h-y-d-r-a thing with SP will not be a problem. He's more subdued than normal but other than that, seems townie so far. I expect he won't be able to keep it up for long as scum unless he's actually improved his scum-play :laugh:

This is long, and there isn't a lot that is responsible to.

Why did you overthink your read on Calix so much? She plays completely different when she's scum and it's easy to catch on to.

Evaluating all possible scenarios =/= Overthinking. Also, it wasn't a read, it was evaluating her town leader claim to get a feel of her alignment.

By the way, NU is making this post and was making yesterday's posts. Not SP like you thought initially, he is currently busy with IRL. I'm paranoid with Calix since BFN.

Calix isn't easy to read. She cannot be meta-read (I tried to), her posts and playstyle are the same as both alignments. That's why you have to analyze the posts she makes in this specific game.


My sheep post has nothing to do with me sheeping, and if it did why would me saying this make me seem scummy or dumb to you? It was me relating to the last game where I posted a sheep and it made me like Sheeps more. Think it was BFN maybe.

I don't like how people are analyzing Stereo. Saying "let's lynch the scum" is the exact definition of trying to look town too much, and I didn't feel all too strongly about it. I wouldn't think a huge amount about it, but it seems like an easy chance to manipulate someone new with less knowledge.

Where do you make the distinction between trying to look town too much and genuinely looking town? His opening post was genuine and direct. I liked it. Scum would want to make things complex usually, no?


How do my questions even compare to the last game? Fairly certain I didn't openly ask questions to "try to scum-hunt" last game.

I would have to re-read GoT for that matter.


You are talking odd Secondpassing. Almost as if you pre-planned to turn on me using past game "feelings" as your ammunition.

Okay so i have 15 minutes to compose something before my dryer goes off, and then I'm going to bed.

So,150 posts in and we have this:

Snorlax self proclaims themselves to be town leader
Stereo being town read for being a noob
Yuki being Yuki
Death worlds setup speculating
SecondLynch analyzing everything
Eggy actually making logical sense
Unknown countering the logical sense
Quick is just chilling
and uh oh yah
drizzt making mod speculation (in the real game this & that & so on)

did i miss anything? i think i got everyone

oh no wait

Gyrlander decided not to post sheep.


[vote] Quick [/vote

too much chilling

I've seen a more interactive Quick, he may be busy and so on but his posts don't stick out for me so far.
while reading through out the day going along with the things I had to do, everyone left some sort of impression, Quicks was that he was just chilling and kinda hanging on the outside of the game.

anyways dryer literally just rang, my life as a proper female calls.

toodles

This is just a summary of what happened -- you make no conclusion to anybody's alignment. What would everyone's alignment be based on this?


fuck you


i find it strange that you will not be part of a lynch but tell us to go crazy? saying you don't want to be an "accomplice" as if by not voting you dont get any blame for a potential mislynch. to me this seems pretty scummy and comes off as a way to avoid responsibility but it may also just be noob behavior so Im not sure yet.

Fairly confident this is town!Eggy. He's being proactive rather than reactive which is the main trait of his scumplay.

His interaction with Stereo reminds me of his interaction with yzb in GoT when yzb proposed Eggy as a PL. (He was town)


If you guys are using acronyms I'd love if there were a list so I know what you are saying.
A short list of the main acronyms:
PL - Policy lynch (Lynching an inactive slot)
SR - Scum-read
TR- Town-read
TPR - Town Power Role

Yo my dudes.

To everyone who thinks people are being town-read solely for being noob, allow me to break down why Drizzt's opening post is sketchy as fuck.



His first impulse is to make an excuse for why his lack of posting is not a scum tell!

This should be setting off a million alarm bells, people. Why?

He is trying to make himself less suspicious before anyone is suspecting him.

He is trying to defend himself before he has anyone accusing him. This is 100% something that only makes sense from a mafia mindset. Scum KNOW that they are guilty and feel compelled to overcompensate for this knowledge.

Furthermore, he's self-aware of the fact that lurking is considered a scum tell and instead of trying to rectify that, he makes excuses for why he won't post much. This is not someone who cares about contributing to the town.

Not to mention the tone - it's obvious that he's worried about how others will perceive him. (why else would his first post be defending himself from accusations of lurking scum?)

Contrast this with Stereo's opening. He says he is new...but is NOT using his newb status to undermine his contributions which is exactly what Drizzt is doing.

Town have NO incentive to undermine their posts from the get-go and thus Drizzt cannot be town.

[vote]Drizzt[/vote

I mean, it's a very drastic conclusion to make from one post. I agree with your point, as it's exactly what I had done as scum in Politico, but saying he "cannot be town" is stretching it.



I've skimmed through the Calix/Quick interaction. I've never seen Calix so confident and so full of herself. Her ego is off the charts, she is already expecting the town to sheep her to lynch Drizzt.
This makes me think she is town -- I've only seen town be so sure about a lynch (Eggy in BFN, me in IC-BFN-GoT, DB in GoT, [Blackmailed by OGC], Calix in Politico-IC).

Last post for me before I turn in.

The points brought against Drizzt are very strong, and I feel the same. However, instead of lynching him, if its available to us we should definitely have someone investigate him. He's either scum as you say, or feigning ignorance so the Mafia ignores him.
Dude, this is a completely different game from RNG-TPR-heavy mod mafia. Do not ever replicate your mod play here. In the mod, the bad players only lynch when an investigative role has a lead or when the good players (DUCK and I) fake-claim sheriff and lynch whoever acts/talks like a mafia.

In FM, you have to play the latter style. The scum-tells people say ARE your leads. You never even know if there is an investigative role.


If he's Citizen, I don't see a reason for him to just come out and say it now. If this behavior of his continues into the next day(and there's nothing that clears him), I will have to put my vote on him on Day 2.

No, he shouldn't. What makes you think he should?

This is either a noob town post or a scum TPR hunting by PoE...



Now that I think about it, the worst possible situation for him is to get any of the neutral roles. It is possible Drizzt is the neutral wanting to remain inconspicuous. He is isolated, has no team, and is fair game for everyone.

Why did you feel the need to say this?


Quick isn't putting me off, but he's not putting me on. He's a step above Gyrlander for me, who I feel has not contributed anything of substance as of this moment. There's just nothing to read from him. Quick has at least been giving us discussion.

I've read FF VII and another ***** game in which she was scum, and her scum play was pretty subtle. I feel like I need to analyze the motivation behind her posts, because her play style is the same scum/town.

It's nonetheless the feel I got from his opener. His last few posts, however, were much less towny than his first ones. His whole "let's wait for an invest to check this guy" narrative made me think that he was mafia and that he knows that there is a framer on his team. This would make sense as he doesn't want a D1 lynch neither.


If you are saying my play is similar to my game as scum, you should know how my scum play was. ^-^

Right now I'm more edging towards you being town because you seem more abrasive and proactive than last time around. For me you're an easy read on D2/D3, so I'm not too worried about you anyways.

"Attack you"? What makes you say that? Your opener was shady at best, scummy at worst, of course I'm going to point it out.

You are throwing shade on us saying that we were going to pick on you when you never said that in the previous games. I've always called you out for shitty play, and it's opportunistic for you to say that I'm attacking you this time but not the other times.

How is me trying to read Calix convenient? Calix claimed town leader, it is needed for everyone to read her to know if you can trust her. It's bugger all convenient. Also, I've been trying to read everybody else, Calix just happened to be the one with the most substance at the time I made the post.

It's really not how it works, anybody can ask questions about any role. Most of the setup spec is NAI discussion unless scum TMIs. Look at IC, I had plenty of setup spec discussion about the neutral role, yet I was a Tribesman. It's NAI, you are really giving out a free TR.

Chill the fuck out and have a tea. Think twice before pick a target to scum-hunt

Ok, thanks for the scum-hunting tips. It's an honor for me to receive Yuki The Great Scum-Hunter's advice on what I should be doing to find the scum.

Yeah. No. What mafia wants is what you are proposing: Town sitting back and having a tea while they lurk their way to victory.

Now answer this for me:
o Why do you consider Drizzt dead? What do you think of his claim, the timing of his claim, and his posts?
o What do you think of the Calix-Quick/Quick-NU deabate?
o What do you think of Unknown-NU?

I was already aware that his claim was a terrible one -- My question was: Do YOU believe his claim?

Also, those were left unanswered:
o What do you think of the Calix-Quick/Quick-NU debate?
o What do you think of Unknown-NU?

I have to go. I expect answers from Unknown, Gyrlander, Drizzt, Stereo, and Yuki when I get back (6-7 hours).

Last post for me before I turn in.

The points brought against Drizzt are very strong, and I feel the same. However, instead of lynching him, if its available to us we should definitely have someone investigate him. He's either scum as you say, or feigning ignorance so the Mafia ignores him. If he's Citizen, I don't see a reason for him to just come out and say it now. If this behavior of his continues into the next day(and there's nothing that clears him), I will have to put my vote on him on Day 2.

Now that I think about it, the worst possible situation for him is to get any of the neutral roles. It is possible Drizzt is the neutral wanting to remain inconspicuous. He is isolated, has no team, and is fair game for everyone.

Quick isn't putting me off, but he's not putting me on. He's a step above Gyrlander for me, who I feel has not contributed anything of substance as of this moment. There's just nothing to read from him. Quick has at least been giving us discussion.

20 new posts and hardly anything interesting happened.


Calix IS easy to read, well for me anyways. Her scum play was completely different from her town play. She put less effort in, she was talking weirder and her cases were way too opportunistic.

You want to go into more detail here? "talking weirder" lolwut

And does this mean you are town-reading me this game? You keep saying "her scum play is different" but you haven't actually given a read on me.


There are two possibilities. Either I am telling the truth that I'm new to forum mafia and thus my posts are that of a naive player; or, I am an experienced player who is feigning ignorance in an attempt at subterfuge. Either way, the immediate response from people may give insight on their role.

For now, let me amend my previous statemente wiith, "I claim the role of citizen."

Given that you didn't even acknowledge my post, I'm going with "claimed a role early on so that people fuck off and don't vote for you"

However no Citizen would claim that early when it had already been decided that random-ass role claims were anti-town.

You are STILL not contributing. All you have done is say "my contributions are worthless because I'm new" and "I'm going to give town some useless and anti-town WIFOM with an unnecessary role claim" - THIS DOES NOT HELP TOWN IN ANY WAY.

TPR would not do this because a TPR would still be TRYING to contribute without sticking their neck out. You are just being disruptive with WIFOM.

Lynch this pls.

It wasn't sarcasm.

You are town-reading someone because he asked questions about the town roles? WHATTTTT? Is that how simple it is to be town-read for you?
It's really not how it works, anybody can ask questions about any role. Most of the setup spec is NAI discussion unless scum TMIs. Look at IC, I had plenty of setup spec discussion about the neutral role, yet I was a Tribesman. It's NAI, you are really giving out a free TR.

If it wasn't sarcasm, then you wernt thinking the same way I was.

No, when I am making reads I am comparing it from town to scum. To me, that is way more of a town play then a scum play. Please shut up, you make everything in your posts an attack and you act way too cocky to even reply to. It gives me a headache.

That game is nowhere near the same. When you are playing with new roles, it's acceptable to be u sure of what to expect. But do tell, did you analyze every single town role? If you aren't very bright, I am not going to help you out here because then It has negative consequences. If you think it's poorly thought out, go right ahead and call my read shit, but DW is more town then scum to me.

Also note that Drizzt says that he wants an insight on ROLES, not alignments.

AKA he's TPR-hunting with a WIFOM Citizen claim.

I don't even know if this is a relevant semantics point but given the mountain of evidence against him, worth noting.

Who claimed Citizen appart from Drizzt?

This tells us two things:

1. Gyrlander isn't reading the game closely enough to pick up on Cit Claim #1

2. Gyrlander's only thought when reading the chat was finding out role claims.

Combined with his unexplained hesitation for voting for Drizzt or literally anyone else but a RVS Mesk vote, this is bad.

I didn't list them -- I analyzed all of them to see which scenario was possible and which wasn't. VERY different.



Hmm? I didn't give her a free pass because I couldn't read her. I had given her a free pass for absolutely no reason.



I've read FF VII and another ***** game in which she was scum, and her scum play was pretty subtle. I feel like I need to analyze the motivation behind her posts, because her play style is the same scum/town.



Right, I town-read her for now.

:sheep: :sheep:




It's nonetheless the feel I got from his opener. His last few posts, however, were much less towny than his first ones. His whole "let's wait for an invest to check this guy" narrative made me think that he was mafia and that he knows that there is a framer on his team. This would make sense as he doesn't want a D1 lynch neither.



Right now I'm more edging towards you being town because you seem more abrasive and proactive than last time around. For me you're an easy read on D2/D3, so I'm not too worried about you anyways.



"Attack you"? What makes you say that? Your opener was shady at best, scummy at worst, of course I'm going to point it out.

You are throwing shade on us saying that we were going to pick on you when you never said that in the previous games. I've always called you out for shitty play, and it's opportunistic for you to say that I'm attacking you this time but not the other times.

How is me trying to read Calix convenient? Calix claimed town leader, it is needed for everyone to read her to know if you can trust her. It's bugger all convenient. Also, I've been trying to read everybody else, Calix just happened to be the one with the most substance at the time I made the post.

Shade throw.

Every scenario is still possible, I don't know why or how you are eliminating roles Calix can be because it's a waste of time. You argue everything that isn't relevant for what purpose? To not be wrong.

Read the last point where I am mocking you. I never said you couldn't read her, but you can't because you were blindly giving her a free pass. You can't even say that you didn't even consider it because then I would actually feel bad for you.

I won't argue this.

Don't steal my sheep!

:sheep: :sheep:

Fair, and I didn't say you can't have this viewpoint, but I said that I disagree and I said why.

This is such a weak read, and I hope there is more then this otherwise I don't know why you town-read me.

It had NOTHING to do with being shady. Nothing that I said makes sense from a scum perspective because it's from my trolling perspective. You should be able to identify it.

No, I didn't say you planned before the game started to push me. My point about the argument was that when you came into the game, your argument against me was based on nothing and you kept to push it making it seems like you had planned with your teammate to push me regardless. This isn't something you can call throwing shade because if it's your argument then you clearly don't see it as that. It's a viewpoint. Also, given your play I have no idea why you are calling my play shitty except to piss me off, so it's really unneccesary. I know you will continue this but every single game we get into these arguments and it's not worth it.

Calix is always town-leader. The only game she wasn't town leader was last game where most of the time she wasn't even around. It wasn't hard to figure out, and it faded late game when she wasn't around as much.

You accomplish so much by saying "Shade Throw".

Your argument is stupid and requires on relative time spans. I'm not picking on the newbies - I'm town-reading Stereo, so you're not paying attention.

Drizzt is being legitimately scummy, is trying to fish for roles using WIFOM...and the people defending him are using bad logic. I'm more convinced that he is a good lynch.

Finally, who gives a fuck about 'fair play'? I am town, Drizzt is scum. I'm playing to my win condition by trying to lynch him.

RVS vote is the oppostite of pressure voting Egg. Even when doing RVS votes, the point is to build up conversation. What do you gain from voting someone yet to speak? I'm sure you felt the pressure of one vote after you hadn't even spoken. Doorknob.
