Got some good sleep last night and time to think about Freedom. I still like him for scum, no doubt. snip Issue, we can only lynch one scum, thus why slaughter the known rat now?
Freedom I am letting you go, but Zem is tracking you for now. Lead us to your friends, (unvote). Vote InflateablePie.
Explain this garbage.
Why would you not want to vote for someone who is confirmed scum to you in favor of someone you're not sure about?
What do you mean 'Zem is tracking you for now?

Vote Wraith223

I'll be going back through more in-depth shortly, but this really caught my attention.
You post on dtr? Cool? Honestly, I don't know who posts there and who doesn't.
I actually read that site quite a bit but its mostly because a lot of the people I used to interact with on MTGS are over there.
It should be a privilege to post here

Alright, I didn't really get it at first, and it almost seemed like he was slipping. The explanation was confusing on its own, but I do understand what he meant. A bit WIFOM-y, I must say.

PEDIT:
Oh look, a vote. I'll make another run of his posts before voting. I also need to check the other guy. I'd like to place my votes carefully this game.
That explains why people keep coming over for chicken nuggets

Cause I confirmed scum is easy to handle. He is my tool now. Watch his interactions now with other players to see who he treads lightly with or not all. Zem has been playing our town newspaper forcing certain individuals to respond. I cannot say any player is "confirmed town" or trusted, but Zem is doing a good as well as Stardust (been really neutral lately and not jumping on anyones ass). I am starting to wonder if he is scum.

Voteing for me is grasping at straws as you clearly don't look at the long game as I clearly explained. May I ask why you are coming to the smooth, quiet aid of Inflateable Pie without saying his name in the sentence?

G_R - for the voting thing.
rcwraspy - I haven't liked his questions so far.
one of: doclawless, hamfactorial or LMD. Need more content from these guys.

Most of these players aren't posting much, so if they would post more so I can engage with them, that would be great.
Then you should vote with me.

vote: GR
Furhter to before, in Ragnarok Pie was scum and did not protect either myself or Tubehunter (both noob town) when we were under duress; that Pie is standing up for Freedom here suggests to me that either:
- Pie is town and wants to prevent a
mislynch;
- They're scum buddies.

Now I think it is MUCH more likely than the first option (both town) is correct; based on both Freedom's actions and responses and because I don't think Pie would try to save a noob scum team mate.
I defended the fuck out of TubeHunter, what. I kept saying he was town because he had a dayvig and scum don't get those, then the whole receiving my "results" thing. Misrep more.

But if freedom flips scum and you guys want to run me up, I understand.

"GR is scum" :B <-- every fucking game of mafia I've ever played.
This sounds familiar.


@Stardust: read on me. go. regardless of read, tell me the person to most likely be scum if I was.


@everyone: InflatablePie. Not InflatiblePie, Inflatable Pie, InflattablePie, InflateablePie, etc. pls <_<


Wraith's 212:
The evil undertone is strong here and he knows Zem is cutting grass to reveal the bugs. - no, but I kind of get what you're getting at here.

I find the poor rules violation of refering to a past game an indication that you are giving useless information to support a save. - Lemme double-check to make sure Suga isn't a NaziMod... nope. You're confused here, since you're new. There are two rules relevant to this situation: no talking of ongoing games (games that are not finished), and no forming alliances or something outside of games to use game-to-game. Talking about a game that has ended is fine. I suggest you go read that game if you want to brush up on mafia (I'm not meaning this as insulting btw,
dunno how to word it better :x)

Also, the Starbuck comment was nothing more than a fart in the wind. Why is it me then? - 12+13 player games usually run about 3 scum, with some exceptions (2 scum + traitor or Serial Killer, etc.). There were three-four people on z's wagon. If Z is scum, there is a small but relevant chance that someone is bussing him early. If he is town, there is a more likely chance that scum has their vote on him by now. As for who the most likely person that is out of you three, that'd be you or GR (who I believe did vote him, you edited my post a bit and I don't have the VC in front of me).

All your comments are missdirection away from Freedom. Please explain. - Well yeah, in my first big post I yelled at everyone to get off of freedom. I really think he's town, and if I didn't respond like that, he could very well have been lynched by now. I'
d also like to point out that the same people I yelled at to unvote him, did so very soon after I posted. That's weird, and it's making me nervous.

Yet you do not vote GR? - because I still think Z is scum, so I left my vote. If you notice, I'm actually voting him now (even though I think Z is scum). Why do you think I'm voting someone Z has a scumread on?

You're more townie for that post even though you're on the wrong track FMPOV.

@Stardust/rcw "posts look like scumRCW's posts": yeah, it was me that said that. I've also only played one game with you. Regardless, I wanted to point that out.

@Ham's 218:
Yeah, I prefer linking to the post so people can read side-by-side instead of quoting huge posts. I also miss the feature mafiascum has where you can highlight something, click quote and it only quotes that part.
@everyone -
instead of quoting huge posts, you can right-click the little page icon in the top left of posts and use post # tags to make it easier. just a neat trick, not saying y'all have to do it.

Kaze did this same thing in Ragnarok Mafia ... He ended up being mafia. - he did? I'll go back and look. Regardless, and I hate doing self-meta, but I can go find games where I've replaced in or fallen behind early and not done as much work as I did with this game. Don't actually ask me to do this, I'm lazy.

I like the idea of T/S snapshots, but I don't know what to make of it since there's no legend. Are mafia at the bottom? Are the player pair/triplets significant? - town at top, scum at bottom. I'll denote if I find alignment-pairings. Also I'll suggest not EVERYONE do this because everyone giving their townreads constantly, just means scum know who to probably kill.

@Doc:
Is it ever safe for a Town player to assume, in a 12 player
game, how many people are in Mafia roles? I mean, is there a standard formula for how many scum roles to fill or is it entirely up to the mod?


In a balanced 12p/13p game, you'll have 2-3 scum. There are Serial Killers, Traitors, Survivors, and various other roles to screw with this. Typically, you want to give town about three mislynches before they lose (12p with three scum is a 9:3 ratio. A mislynch and single kill is 7:3 on Day 2, then 5:3, 3:3 and here you lose because scum force No Lynch. Three MLs.), but it depends on setup balance and stuff. I always go into a mini game (12/13, large game is >13) expecting three scum.

Hey Wraith, if you think GR is scum (even though I don't love the reason I see what you're getting at), wanna vote him with me? If you think I'm scum, you get me to bus my buddy, which is terrible D1. C'mon.

Definitely townie questions. He's showing a real attempt to figure it out. What pushes you enough to confirm him though?
Day-cop investigation. ;-)
oh rofl.
Why question my town read when you have a town read on him as well?
Because your answer invariably tells me more about you.

observer-expectancy effect. If he's scum, you lynch him. Pointing out scum and then voting elsewhere because you can 'get him later' looks like lining up lynches to me.

Grouping with you (InflatablePie) would seem week charactor and a sign of scum. I can't flip crazy without decent content, which yours response is not. The wrong track arguement is shit. I am not shying away or missdirecting from Freedom. He is to useful right now in his correspondence with others to waste.

I slam my file file down on the table in front of you. I stare at you for a moment.

Why did you contradict yourself now by abandoning Zem, ask me to vote with you for GR? The flip floping is noticeable.

Oh, I'm not abandoning Zem. He's still in my scumlist. I just think my vote is better suited on GR right now, and I would like both you and Z to join me on the wagon.

- Why do you think I'm voting someone Z has a scumread on?
- Why do you think I'm asking you to vote with me?
- Do you think GR is scum?

Is it cause I am attacking your friends? SCUM.

If you know a person is obvious scum; why let a stink bait go? Let him lead you to the others. Otherwise, we have to rebuild a psych profile everytime after the obvious scum is lynched. If you agree with me he is scum; why are you not voting for him? It's still early. If I can't get more people to question inflateablePie; I might have to vote Freedom to not waste a vote.

Feel free to attack me and question me. The more you know about me; the better.

GR has not posted anything of town value and you may be right on him. The first sentence confuses me. Reword/explain please?

Cause you are scared. Give a better reason to target GR. I am listening

uneducated guess. He has only posted info that is useless and uses acronyms I have no clue of their meaning. Need to read more analysis on him.

G_R needs to post more content but I am not ready to say he is anything other than null. I've been burned too many times calling him scum.

Just a heads up that I probably will not be able to post much the next few days since work is super crazy right now.

How does one 'waste a vote'?
It is the future interactions are what closes cases. Freedom has been quiet so far and evasive besides "it's not me". He is also not going after anyone to show any charactor roles. To easy. InflatablePie and GR look good right now as they are giving me missdirections or pointless posts.
I assume nothing about you or who you should vote for. Your post appears suspicious town and I appreciate that as I was looking for your response to primed statements.
It is early for as a few other members have yet to post anything of value. :shrug:

Seeking a bandwagon vote is suspicious. You explain later...:confused2:...after a nightkill or some poor towny else is lynched? I did think carefully, the bandwagon arguement is a
major disstraction. Zem was playing personal attacks to drum up response to analyze. To many have been quiet though, but telling my to vote elswhere fails to make you not scum.

I think you're town. If you were scum... freedom would definitely be town. I haven't noticed any odd interactions... maybe GR? Depends how good a case you build after the fact here. Sure, let's go with GR.

@Infallible_Pi: Did your first list have the same structure? If so, what made you move Wraith2345784 from null to town? LMD from town to null?

What is exactly your case against zemanjasaki? How about yours trully, is it just the "ignored freedom" thing?

@Stardust: read on me. go. regardless of read, tell me the person to most likely be scum if I was.
I think you're town. If you were scum... freedom would definitely be town. I haven't noticed any odd interactions... maybe GR? Depends how good a case you build after the fact here. Sure, let's go with GR.
You... we're supposed to have a gentlemen's agreement. :no:

Dude! It was a hypothetical question! I will (hypothetically) have to read you eventually.

Anyway, that was me thinking purely about Pie's interactions with you. You've been scummy as hell, but I haven't said boo all game. :stubborn:

It is the future interactions are what closes cases.
Or feeds you misinformation.
I assume nothing about you or who you should vote for.
You said; "If you agree with me he is scum; why are you not voting for him?"
I never even implied that I agreed with you on anything.
Your post appears suspicious town and I appreciate that as I was looking for your response to primed statements.
What is suspicious about my post?
What are primed statements, how did I respond to them?
It is early for as a few other members have yet to post anything of value. :shrug:
Which users, specifically, have not posted anything of value?
One wastes a vote by letting a small fish go when, as I said, others have yet to post anyhthing of value for analysis.
What is a small fish in
this game?
Gibbs slap yourself. You said that if freedom is scum; you should lynch him. Now you are after me cause I vote to go after big game? :confused2:

I suspicious of your posts cause they never say why we should ignore or attack Freedom.

Primed Statements- stimulous in a sentence to get a targeted response. You have done fairly good so far and stayed on my ass. Kudos. Issue, you could be ignoring them to save your ass.

Small fish- the obvious scum, the ones who speak poorly. I say let him perculate and see who he responds with.

GR so far has had some weird posts. Ham has said very little. LMD has made only static posts on analysyis from others. Freedom has been silent.

You like to exaggerate/jump to conclusions, y'know that? You might not want to do that in mafia, it just ends badly for everyone involved.

I did think carefully - no, you apparently didn't.

You think GR is scum, but you absolutely refuse to vote him right now?

a) I hate you.
b) yes, it did, although it had more separate groupings (still went from town to scum though)
3) I don't agree with his points but I can see his suspicions of me coming from newbtown. He's one of the least townies on that list since his position on the z wagon
sucked.
IV) I thought I had him as more null-y in the last list?

cinco) Lots of little things. The overexplanation, mostly, some of the questions he asked early on just sucked... not counting what I posted in my wall, you can look at the questions I asked him on the previous page and get an idea of why I think he's scummy

The fuck...what...? Are you tallking to me or InflateablePie? So confused.
I vote based on evidence/conclusions from posts, not bandwagon votes. GR looks scumy, but his posts are pointless to try and read. I need more data for a vote on him.
"I hate you". Good. The best response of a scum sucker so far. Why would tell us you are waiting for a response?

Overnight Action Recap, post 201 to 260
202G_R complains about wall of text posts, but provides no analysis himself. As of yet has provided no actual content in thread.
205Imopen2 says that Pie is probably town for white knighting Freedom. I think Freedom is town, but the logic here, and the certainty with which the statement is made gives me pause; can't Pie be scum trying to win town favour or scum defending noob scum? What makes Imopen2 so sure at this point?
207Substantive Stardust post, will address separately.
208
DocLawless asks a question that shows he hasn't been reading the thread closely. I discussed raspy in 59 and then in 63. So either Lawless isn't reading the thread (scumtell) or he is asking questions that he thinks are town questions (scumtell). He has even noted in his own posts that raspy hasn't done much, so it isn't like I would have needed to reassess my position, raspy hasn't being active much the last two days on account of exams. FOS Lawless.
209DocLawless then immediately backs off his line of questioning. I am not sure why. I don't like this post; if you're town you don't really care about annoying people I think, you just want answers. This post has a little too
much of trying to start activity (I have asked lawless to start asking questions, well done on following Pie's cues though), but then not wanting to really engage on the issue. I maintain the FOS.
210Another substantive Stardust post, will address separately.
212Wraith has a weird writing style and an analytical approach I don't fully comprehend, but his motivations feel Town to me. Its a little strange he went from voting for me to pretty much backing me up.
218 was not the big post from Ham I was hoping. You said that you were going to make a substantive post and you really haven't. Why not? I do like you point about Pie trying to establish Town-cred; but I need more content from you. Please
understand that I found your similar detachment and fence sitting scummy in Ragnarok and while you were town there, it still doesn't sit well with me. You're probably town for exhibiting the same conduct, but I don't feel comfortable making a meta read based off your first game, so please do more. Who do you think is scum? Give me three names.
219G_R is suspicious of Rezom and Wraith. G_R showed good instincts in Ragnarok, so I will pay attention to his reads, but I had him lean scum earlier for the vote Freedom, immediately unvote Freedom play. I may have been too quick with that assessment.
224Pro-town post from Stardust. Nice
230I don't understand how Lawless is conf-town. He hasn't really done
anything pro-town, just asked questions I think noob-town would ask; but noob mafia would be able to ask those same questions.
232Raspy thinks the same way I do.
Note: 227, 231, 233 are examples of lawless making "town questions" but I don't see why noob-scum couldn't easily come up with the same questions. They're extremely basic, he would be smart enough to figure out to ask them as noob scum. I think he is more likely town than not, I just don't fathom the immediate clear he has been given. Am I overthinking this? I guess Stardust has to start narrowing down on suspects at some point.
241Interesting post from Rezom. There hasn't been a lot of Wraith-Rezom interaction so far. I have Wraith as Town, Rezom as null, so it will be interesting to watch for developments here. While I don't like Wraith's logic in going after possible scum over someone he considers certain scum; I am not sure how Rezom cannot grasp the logic or why the thinks that is scummy; if Freedom hypothetically were noob scum, then he is always going to be an easy lynch later and there isn't harm in Wraith trying to out another scum now. It is hardly the case that if you're voting for someone you're committed to that lynch and that lynch only, votes change places all the time. An interaction to note moving forward.
242 I like this post from G_R.
244 I don't like that Pie keeps telling me how to play. He didn't do that when he was scum in Ragnarok though...uggghh. Null I guess. I dont much like the vote on G_R at this point, I would have thought with Pie being so suspicious of me that he should be
voting for me; certainly I would be the easier lynch today. I am having tremendous trouble understanding Pie's play. And actually Pie, I was dead at that point that you're discussing. I was referring to when I was trying to lynch Tubehunter before he daykilled me; I went after him for pages and you didn't defend him at all. So not a misrep actually. But you're right, I didn't take the entire game into consideration. I just didn't read all of Ragnarok in great detail because I was super filthy about getting daykilled when everyone knew I was Town :rolleyes: Interesting defensive tone though. Agree that Wraith is likely Town.
246 Pie's second T/S list. Is this a spectrum? Can you tell me more about your read's on Ham and Rezom? Thanks.
250 Pie's prefers to vote G_R over me. Most people have me as their preferred lynch currently (indicated by voting). You think I am scum; why not come after me? This mimics Rezom's question to Wraith; why not take the (in your estimation) certain scum kill?
260 Stardust seems happy to switch to GR? Really? I am so confused. Why?
Thoughts:
- There seems to be a bit of a pairing between Pie/Lawless and Stardust/Lawless. There are a lot of people coming after me, at different times, but imopen, stardust, rezom's interactions have all seemed independent. Lawless/Pie seem aligned more aligned, Stardust is mostly being helpful. Whether that is just a new player buddying an experienced player or more I don't know. Lawless please give your case on why you would follow Pie's directions. Do you think he is town? Why?
-
Wraith do you read me as Town now? See me notes on your post 212.
- Ham see my notes re: your post 218. Who do you think is scum? Stardust says its OK to assume three scum, so give me three names.
- Stardust, see notes on 230. Can you explain why DocLawless is town? You declined to answer Raspy in 232 (per your post 234).
- Raspy, why give up on that line of questioning so easily?
- G_R can you explain why you're wanting to be so careful about your votes this game (post 242)?
- I really can't read Pie at all, and I think he has expressed difficulty in assessing my play (was that someone else? I can't find the quote). If that is the case Pie, did you have similar trouble in Ragnarok?
- Pie answer my questions about your T/S list in 246.
- Also 250; you explain a little in 254 but I want more; why is the vote on G_R better?
- Rezom feels more town now. Cool. Post more simpson's pics though. Rezom v Wraith feels really Town v Town to me.
- I am confused by a few people peferring to lynch G_R to me (
sounds funny saying that).
- I am having a really hard time actively pinning scum tells on people, I think because I am wasting my time having to defend myself. I am getting distracted. I don't think PBPA works very well for me. Le sigh.

@ Pie: You mentioned outstanding questions for me, I didn't see any on my read through (looked twice), can you just give me a post number and I will answer? Head's a bit fucked this morning TBH.

Responses to Stardust's posts below:
Post 207
I was talking more to wraith in the sense of town generally. I still don't think town should hold back. I am only in my second game
and its likely I don't fully grasp how important power roles are yet; SD's post about cop's gave me some more insight. I have no idea how mafia sniff out power roles, as it didn't really happen in the Ragnarok game. It doesn't matter though, I am not a cop.
What insight did I give you?
Well, I am still mostly making assumptions about the power of different roles. Cop seems the strongest too me, and it seems to increase in power over time (fewer people to investigate and you already have have made some investigations). But it doesn't seem that powerful; as soon as you announce a search result you're getting killed (unless there is a doctor I guess); and if you sit on results for a few days you might get NK'd without revealing info. So it seemed like the cop PR was worth 1 search result to me, which isn't very much. Your post made the role seem much more powerful, I guess because a more experienced player can make a lot
more of the opportunity.
@Stardust: I didn't read your 'you are not the cop' post as 'I am the cop, you are not the cop'. Why does everyone assume you're counterclaiming?
That was my intent, and that's often how a counterclaiming post will look. Yanni counterclaimed my "doc" claim in Bioshock in the same manner. Regardless, it was important that I leave it vague so the door would be open for people to push me for the claim (as Z did).
I would have found your confirming of being a cop very anti-town. I don't think a full counter-claim on day 1 serves town. Thoughts? This question is broad theory than specific to this game.
Stardust: Feels town, dear god now I sound like I am hitting on him or at the very least implying I date raped him O.O
:confused2:

Self conscious about the Pie-hitting-on-me tell? (totally not a thing I made up)



:facepalm: Okay, I told myself I'm not going after GR. Not gonna do it. That's your guys's job, okay? I can't do it.
Why can't you go after G_R? Bad history in other games?
...posters trying to waste time with analysis like "isn't it zem's second
game? He wouldn't do that!" or even worse "he didn't play like this in Ragnarok mafia, surely his first game defines his style forever!
...
As for me explaining my reasoning, I do that in Ragnarok as well.
Using meta is stupid, right? Oh, unless it's to prove you town, I guess. :/
I am clearly saying that its shitty for them to use meta only as it suits them.
I find it curious that people have jumped on me for asking obvious questions...
Did they? Show me where.
Pie in 137 and then several posts afterwards;
Imopen in 55/94.
That isn't a pro town response at all. Hmmmmmmm.
This isn't a pro town response.
You can do better. A person refusing to actively ask questions or analyse or interact in any meaningful way (he still hasn't) doesn't help Town. I was point it out and trying to prompt some interaction, that helps Town. Explain how my response isn't town.
You're a lot more experienced than I am at mafia, so if you're definitively saying there is no chance he is noob scum, none whatsoever, then OK.

Just because I am not voting for someone I cannot test their response? WTF man?

One reading is that I said that he should stop looking at me, another is that
I am just saying that he should also look at others as well. You can't see the other reading? Doc had made comments to the effect of been a little unsure of himself, but after his last few posts I don't think he has any reason to be. So he can either start looking at others, which is good, or he can seriously come after me, which is also good. Only responding to my questions is OK, but he can do better than that.
Z, is Pie town? You're very quick to trust his intentions.

Everything you posted later about Pie being unlikely to defend a scum buddy is WIFOM.
Ignore my questions more. Explained in more detail above, but I am starting to doubt Pie more and more, but that may be because I just cannot get a good read on his play. It just seems off to me. I put his play next to yours and you're way more Town than him. That gives me pause. I also hate that he keeps trying to tell me how to play; not because it is
annoying, but because it feels like he is trying to direct my activity, or distract and frustrate me.
G_R - for the voting thing.
rcwraspy - I haven't liked his questions so far.
one of: doclawless, hamfactorial or LMD. Need more content from these guys.

Most of these players aren't posting much, so if they would post more so I can engage with them, that would be great.
What is "the voting thing"?
G_R jumped on freedom's wagon then immediately unvoted. You've read the thread right? It wasn't just me that found it scummy; it is AFAIK the very basis of so many posters switching to G_R.
Post 210
I wonder where I got the idea :rolleyes: So it would OK for you to do it I assume?
Of course. Gambits are wonderful when used responsibly. I don't recall ever using your gambit as a tell. Why so defensive about it?
I was not being defensive. I was pointing out that everyone seems so surprised I could make a play like that as Town, just wanted to show that you gave me the idea. Nice try though.
Do you think you could "generate a scenario" where me
trueclaiming cop is perhaps bad for the town?

Your motives are extremely suspect. There is no scenario where you can truly verify a cop (unless you'd care to claim neutral) since the mafia obviously know whether they'd get a town or scum result. The reasoning that you'd like to ignore me for today is also scum motivated - wagoning a player who later claims a PR can often look bad and is a waste of time for scum since that player won't get mislynched. Clearing people as town is helpful to the town, but outing PR's to do so (especially early in the game) is much more helpful to the scum (partly because they have a target for their nightkill and partly because they know who they can't mislynch, like I said).

Add to that the awful vote on Wraith (immediately following my vote) and yeah, you're scum.
This seems important, so let's break it down.

- you're right in that we cannot truly verify that you're a cop (
though let's be honest, the mafia would kill you ASAP and then we would know). That isn't entirely your use though; you're going to have to provide us with search results and explain why you're not dead and that's a wealth of information for town.
I have not claimed cop. I don't have to do anything. With or without cop results, I plan to provide "a wealth of information for town" either way, so don't you worry.
:rolleyes: You're so awesome Stardust. Its funny you call my vote on Wraith awful, even though at that point I had already had substantial interaction with him.
- I don't need to lynch you today because of the above reasons, I want the info
you making it to day two and beyond will provide.
Townies don't ignore everyone but their target. That's what scum do. That's my point. You don't just want to not lynch me, you want to ignore me. Big difference, and like I said later, proves that you're thinking of me as a target instead of an ally.
Everything you said about focusing on one person contradicts this article: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... em_Lynched
You are a target; insofar as you are potential scum. Making a big deal out of that is very dumb. I have you leaning heavily Town so I would rather focus my energy elsewhere. Meh.
- I am not the one who
outted a power role; you did by counter-claiming, or at least seeming to do. I gave the mafia no information at all, you might have done so. Please explain this.
Nobody outed a power role. I have not claimed cop. You pushed to give the mafia information, repeatedly. That alone is enough.
Or as I explained earlier, I was looking to see if you would confirm the role, which would be anti-town. Try reading, thinking and then typing.
- I agree that outing power roles helps scum.
So why push for the confirmation?
Explained previously in this post, and in other posts. Other people have asked this and I have answered. Are you tunneling me?
- Please see my summary of wraith223's posts and then re-evaluate your assessment of my vote on him. Please let me know what you think!
Your case is weak and after-the-fact.
"is this how you play Town?"
"You are Town right?"
"I feel my vote is as of now correctly placed on Wraith223 until he actually starts acting in a pro-town way"
These are not words a townie case uses.
When I flip Town you will look stupid. Your logic seems to hinge on my language use, as if I should have mastered mafia discourse after less than 1 Day of play in Ragnarok. I don't see you being similarly picky with the language used by the other noobs.
It doesn't matter anyway. My problem is not that you voted for Wraith. It's that you followed me into voting Wraith. You jumped on the wagon as soon as it appeared despite seeming to suspect me at the time and with nothing more
than "Your posts are terrible".
:rolleyes:
On reread, I want to make note of the mindset in this post too. You're thinking of me only as a target, not as a potential teammate.
"On reread, I want to make note of the mindset in this post too. You're thinking of me only as a target, not as a potential teammate." Please expand on this, I would like to discuss this more fully. It is unclear to me whether you're suggesting I am scum or town. You are a target honestly, in the same way that everyone is until I start to feel that they're town. I might not want to lynch you toDay but you're highly suspicious going in to day 2.
Let's say I am the cop. Let's say I responded to your pushing with, "Yes, I am claiming cop." What then? Do you ignore me, or do you work with me? Do you blaze your own trail or do you trust my reads and work them into your own? Reading your posts indicates the former in both cases. That's not a townie mindset.

I am suggesting you're scum.
I am suggesting you're not as clever as you think you are. You think the townie thing to do is to blindly follow a Day 1 cop role claim? I would pay attention to what the cop has to say, but I wouldn't take it as gospel, not on Day 1 prior to any further interaction.
PEdit: Hmm, and now you think I'm town. I'll respond fully to that post tomorrow. In the meantime, answer this:
1) What is
faulty about my reasoning of your gambit play? Do you think I'm taking it seriously?
2) Other than that it's not targeting you, why is that one quoted post a "good post"?
3) Why do you say that I'll be highly suspicious going into Day 2, but you think I'm town now?
1. I don't think you're taking my claim seriously (which is good, its obv fake). I feel I have explained why your reasoning is faulty, please read my post. We can discuss this tomorrow after you've posted something more substantive if you like. Happy to discuss it then when you're fully caught up, and I have the benefit of not having a one-sided conversation. It's an important discussion point.
Read your post, still don't get it. What is faulty about my reasoning of your gambit play?
2. Its a good post because your asking players to explain their reasoning and tease more information out of them. Both players have made statements without analysis, your questions should force them to commit thoughts that we can then work through. I feel that's pro-town,
How is this different from the way I'm treating you?
Because I already explain my thoughts when I post.
3. This is obvious if you have read my analysis correctly. I think you're leaning town (I didn't say you're conf town) because of good questions and high levels of interaction. However, you'll be suspicious on day 2 if you're maintaining the cop counter-claim. If you're not maintaining the counter-claim and are instead just trying to guage
whether I am scum, then I revert back to my lean town position.
Why would me claiming cop make me go from leaning town to scum?

Already explained several times previous to this post. I think a day 1 cop counter-claim to an obv fake gambit is anti-town. I am almost certain you've not read my interactions with other posters in any real detail.
Zem's Town / Scum List #1
Town
Zemanjaski :stubborn:
Freedom
Stardust
Wraith223
Hamfactorial
Imopen2
DocLawless
Rezombad
rcwraspy
Inflatable Pie
G_R
LMD
Scum
I dont much like my list at all TBH; I have the two posters with the least actual content as scum, which surely means I place too much emphasis on activity levels; there are enough experienced players here that can maintain high activity levels
as scum.

I really want Freedom, DocLawless, hamfactorial and LMD to ask some questions and do some analysis. DocLawless has done the most, but actually done very, very little. More from all of you.

I need to clear my head and come at the game fresh, I have got too lost in my own interactions and am not paying enough attention to the interactions between others. Looking at my own wagon, I consider the most likely scum to be Pie but I really cannot read him very well. Fuck.

I think rcwraspy is scum. Discuss!
no
No, he's not scum, or no, you don't want to discuss it?
BOOM! :rofl:

I don't know about rcwraspy. Still up in the air about him. Listening though.

InflateablePie is asking for a lawyer now. I walk out of my interegation room smiling and
thumbing through my folder.

For Zem, I can never say for sure who is town, but I will say you are on the backburner. I am to interested on the banwagon vote on GR being rustled up. Odd. Very odd.

Wow... that was a lot to catch up on. At least I didn't end up with a million and a half questions like most of you. In fact, I think this was the only one (but please remind me if I missed yours):
One question. Who were you referring to when you said "real town"? Even if it was sarcastic, you must have had someone or some group in mind.
I wasn't referring to anyone. The joke was that I was blatantly saying that I was scum. The words "real town" were put in to make it more obvious that it was a joke. Apparently, they weren't enough.

Yeah, you guys talk a lot. The last hour of my time was pretty much spent just skimming over the past 80+ posts, and reading some of the interactions between Doc and SD a bit more thoroughly, as Doc seems to be in the same place that I am in terms of learning the game.

Pie: you're almost spot on with your analysis of my
posts and thoughts 137, and since you chose to defend me strongly after coming to these conclusions, you earned yourself some huge townpoints in my book.

Wraith: could you try to be a bit more clear with your posts? I feel like a large part of what I read today has just been your unclear posts (prime example: 257), followed by someone asking "what?" and then you having to explain what you really meant. Also, don't quote the whole string of posts if it's getting really long. That gets annoying to have to look through, and I think (G_R) has already brought this up.
