The Rules:

The Golden Rule:
This is a game. Everyone who signs up to play must be considerate of each other, never get personal, and focus on having fun. Once the game starts, having signed up is a commitment: inactivity is just as inconsiderate as rude comments.

The Standard Rules:
1. No communication between players outside of the game thread or shared QTs at any time. This includes passing references, jokes, or cases in other games or threads, whether in context or not.
2. If the game thread is locked, do not post. If you are unsure if something is locked, ask the mod by PM.
3. Direct or verbatim quoting of mod-provided information (including QT opening and closing times) is strictly forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
4. Actions with instructions that do not specify a game state will be resolved in the order they are received.
5. All night actions must be submitted within 36 hours of day ending.
6. Players must post once every 24 hours.
7. Do not edit or delete posts, ever. If you need to clarify or correct something, post again.
8. Invisible text, font size less than 10, and spoiler tags are not allowed.
9. Cryptography is not allowed.
10. The time between an exile being reached and a flip being provided is called twilight. All players may continue posting during this time, including the exiled player.
11. Dead players may not post in thread or QT, except their Role QT. An exiled player is not "dead" until a flip has been provided.
12. Personal multimedia, such as video or audio recordings, are not allowed in the game thread.

The Voting Rules:
1. Votes should be in this format: Vote: Playername. Unambigiuous nicknames are acceptable, or any string that uniquely identifies a user. Note that the point of voting is, in fact, unambiguity, and attempting to make it unclear to other players (or, of course, mods) which user you are voting for is very ill-advised.
2. Unvotes should be in this format: unvote or Unvote: Playername.
3. Unvotes are not required if changing your vote from one player to another.
4. You may vote: no exile.
5. Exiles occur when a simple majority (rounded up) of living players is reached. Once reached, an exile cannot be undone.
6. If a majority lynch is not reached by the Day's deadline, no lynch occurs.

The Rest:
1. Bold, Brown text are reserved for the MODs. Players may not use it.
2. If you have an issue or problem with the game, please PM the Mod. Do not post complaints in the game thread.
3. Mods make mistakes - please point them out gently. If they can be corrected, they will. If irreversible, they will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. If a mod error disadvantages one faction greatly, the game may be called off.
5. Ask all questions and make all requests directly to the Mod via PM. Questions deemed as "universal" (defined as questions for which the answers should be available to all players) will be requested to be re-posted in the Game Thread and answered there.
6. Players may request prods on other players if they have not posted in 24 hours. Players are subject to replacement or modkill after one prod.
7. All rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, as determined by the mod.
8. Each player will receive their own QT, regardless of role. Don't quote from it.
9. If the game goes on for 3 days and 3 nights without a lynch or nightkill, town wins.

Deadlines:
1. Days will last seven IRL days.
2. Nights will last between 36 and 48 hours.

This game will be Cats and Dogs themed. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so no offense to the cat people on the forum :P
This is an Invented Semi-Open setup by Archtype, with credits to faust, Yuma, and Ashes.

The base setup is as follows:

3 Mafia Cats:
Calico Cat (Mafia Goon)
Siamese Cat (Mafia Goon)
Maine Coon (Godfatherer)

10 Town Dogs:
1 Innocent Child (Golden Retriever)
1 3-shot Cop (German Shepard)
8 Vanilla Townies (Adorable Mutt)

Pregame, I will make 0-5 Modifications to the above setup. Each Modification has a 50% chance of being present. They will alter the setup by adding more power roles to both the Town and the Mafia.


Modification 1:

Calico Cat -> 2-shot Roleblocker
Adorable Mutt (VT) -> Doctor
(dalmatian)

Modification 2:

Calico Cat -> Encryptor
Adorable Mutt (VT) -> Roleblocker
(Rottweiler)

Modification 3:
Siamese Cat -> Flavor Cop
Adorable Mutt (VT) -> 1-shot Commuter (yorkie)

Modification 4:

Siamese Cat -> 2-shot Rolestopper

Adorable Mutt (VT) -> Tracker (beagle)

Modification 5:

Maine Coon -> 1-shot Strongman+Godfatherer
Adorable Mutt (VT) -> 1-shot Bulletproof (pitbull)

There is also one very important additional rule: When a player dies, only their Flavor Name will be revealed. Examples would be Pitbull, Golden Retriever, Siamese Cat, etc. So when any random Mafia Player dies, you don't know if he was a plain Mafia Goon, or much more powerful.


Role PMs:

Once in the game, when you complete the factional kill, you may opt to make it a 'Strongman' kill. If you do, your kill will break through one layer of Doctor/Bulletproof protections or Roleblocking.

If for some reason a 'loop' occurs, here's the order in which I'll resolve actions:

Natural Action Resolution:

Commuting
Rolestopping
Town!Roleblocking
Scum!Roleblocking
Protecting
Killing
Investigating

*Mod Note - it is late. there are no games running. I wanted to get this into sign ups. I will fix technical typos tomorrow.

This is Arches game set up from Mario Mafia....

Until corrected, please ignore flavor mistakes.
Things like "toadie" obviously will be changed to "townie".

I mean yes. But also there are a lot of potential unbalanced roles both ways, which kind of "balances it".
Albeit that exact situation would be a hard core pro for skum... but its a dice game so ...

I'm having a really hard time focusing on work right now and just staying on top of the little things, so I'm not sure adding a Mafia game on the side would be very smart.

But then I saw that Eevee joined, so /in.

Also, Didds, thanks for thinking of me <3

One clarification I would like to make in case there is any confusion - VTs in this game CANNOT receive MULTIPLE roles from modifications being turned on.

It was poorly worded in the set up.

Because I am, and that'll be increasingly more clear the more we talk.

Also, your MiX!radar is pretty good, just trust it more often :P

Or Swowl is just representing everything mod 10, perhaps.

If dogs aren't allowed to vote, I move for taking us all off the voting register so we can see which fat cats are left and then exiling them.

The fact that anything can be Mixian is delightful, in and of itself.

Also, I love it that Robs is a Golden Retriever!

I’m having some dissonance with thinking about dogs as the good guys. IRL, I am fully a cat person. But make no mistake, the game is correctly themed. We live only because they allow it and they will could kill us in our sleep. Every morning is a blessing. Which they would argue is a quotidian lesson in gratitude.

Space! I’m glad you could play!

We live only because they allow it and they will could kill us in our sleep. Every morning is a blessing. Which they would argue is a quotidian lesson in gratitude.
I could not agree more. This must have been the first game where I hoped to be scum purely for flavor reasons.

Yup... they are basically tiny fluffy murders. At least dogs aren't obligate carnivores! Though I do remember you had such withdrawal from your small overlords that we ended up in a cat cafe in Bratislava :-) That may have been the best lemonade of my whole 2019 :-P

Space! I’m glad you could play!

Me too :-) It's great to see y'all again!

Yeah, I don't know. I typed bedtime and my phone offered me this emoji. It seemed appropriate, both for bed and for being a dog. Dogs howl at the moon, right? Of course, it would also have been appropriate as a cat, since they are nocturnal, but let's not go there.

P.S. I am also allergic to cats, which is very sad because I like having them as pets.

Iwould say IC’s are most useful when they are a mover and shaker who’s likely to be a strong voice in steering the game, especially if they have a notorious history of doing so as scum and getting away with it (people like yourself, galzria and indeed robz). Extra good for robz because while he’s a great endgame player, he also often gets lynched early for lurking and being indifferent about the game.
It’s a personal perk that robz being the IC I think makes me more likely to live longer, maybe.

First, I'd say that more than one person has posted something scrutinizable for alignment. Second, the fact that you didn't have anything game-related to say but continued to make multiple empty posts suggests that you were at the time concerned about appearing active, which is scummy

That's going to be hard, but I'll try, I guess.

Hey, good reads.

How do I make posts with meat? What's that anyway?
I suggest you go beef up your analysis and flesh out your scumreads. Don't be a chicken and afraid that someone might pork fun at you!

This is amazing, and exactly what I expected when I asked that.

Have we seen Dylan or Joseph yet?

I think maybe scum EFHW is more present. I’m not finding I gotta anything off about MiX at all, so far. Eevee is always wonderful and so far, not scummy. ADKs annoyance with people not voting makes me giggle and also typical...but perhaps the least interesting in terms of trying to sort people. Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

faust and space are hard for me to figure out. Glooble is tricky here....I know he is busy, but also when he’s scum he gets quiet.

Who am I missing? Oh, chairs! I have zero ability to read chairs. I always think she’s scummy. He rarely is.

Vote: ADK
I think this is a towny post. I like the content, and the idea of doing a reads post, all in all good feels.

I agree with this. Not sure what that makes Eevee though. Oh wait eevee's town I already determined that.

Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

Galz has been a bit of a lurker in the past few games I've been in with him. He's not someone I expect to be very active D1

PPE of course he posts as I'm writing this

How did you decide to put pressure on MiX but defend Galz?

Why did you ask this specific question? It's very interesting.

I feel Robz reads me well, he'd have been my number one pick for the IC role from the player list.
Is the main quality you look for in an IC whether they read you well?
Iwould say IC’s are most useful when they are a mover and shaker who’s likely to be a strong voice in steering the game, especially if they have a notorious history of doing so as scum and getting away with it (people like yourself, galzria and indeed robz). Extra good for robz because while he’s a great endgame player, he also often gets lynched early for lurking and being indifferent about the game.
It’s a personal perk that robz being the IC I think makes me more likely to live longer, maybe.

It's good that Robz is IC because many games get hung up on the question of whether he is scum or not.

This is very true. It's one of the many reasons why Robz should always be IC when town :P

ADK is making a lot of sense right now. Reread MiX, think about games you've played with town!MiX. Town!MiX makes bold assertions. He's abrasive (intentionally so, I think.) This MiX seems too cautious.

Vote: MiX

Can you bring up examples? I think I'm being exceptionally townier this game than most, not the other way around.


Think of the previous post as things I really wanted to answer first, and this one as things I felt like I needed to answer.

Sheeping the IC! Super towny thing to do.

Did you mean you wanted examples of previous games where you came out swinging with substantive arguments, even if they were wrong? Just want to verfiy that that's what you're asking for before I spend a bunch of time hunting them down.

MiX gives us so much more to talk about though. Chairs made two posts and one of them was about his computer not working. MiX made 15 posts in the same span!

Where are you getting that Glooble is annoyed? from what I read it seems like he's voting MiX because he's not sufficiently annoyed at him:

Uh, I kind of feel bad about assuming frustration from Glooble if it’s not really there, wouldn’t want to start a fight or stir up any kind of trouble at all. Just to me (!, i may be mistaken) seems Gloobles tone towards Mix is more hostile than he’d usually be.

Post by: chairs on September 25, 2020, 12:59:52 pm
Let's be real, scumteam is MiX/Chairs/Robz and we bribed the mod to fake-IC Robz.  ::)

Thoughts:
0. Swowl
Obviously secretly playing as the grassy knoll scummer.

1. Dylan
HOW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BY POST 56

2. WCD
First post - towny fluff.
IKR MIXIAN RESPONSE IS THE BEST.

3. EFHW
First post - towny fluff.
Next notable post is talking about liking cats despite being allergic. This is not very doglike behavior, EFHW, and I am disappointed.

4. ADK
First post calls out request for IC info. Means ADK read the setup. Reading the setup is scummy.
Votes MiX but feels the need to explain why. Explanations about MiX votes are for scum who want to feel better about wagoning their teammate (MiX, who is always scum). Scummy.
MIXIAN RESPONSE I love you, I'm not rewriting this post but you get a D1 pass now b/c I love this.
Tries to pair me as scum with mix. Is obviously trying to deflect from their own obvious pairing with mix.

5. Galz
Gets first post of D1, scummy. Eager to dig into MiX, known scum extraordinaire. Clearly D1 ploy to wagon a teammate for towncred. Scummy.
Votes Robz, confirmed Town.

6. Joseph

7. faust
Complicit in Swowl's plot to disenfranchise deserving dogs. Clearly a cat, and thus scum.
"Everybody wants to be a cat" notes. Everybody knows cats are stinky noodlebutts. DOG AM BEST BOI. SUPER SCUM.
Accuses mix of having trouble reading their own posts. I'm dying. Everyone knows cats don't have humor, so this must be a misdogerstanding.
votes ADK. ADK is the less obv of the obv!scum, so this is leaning me back towards dog-status more.

8. MiX
Tells Galz to trust his MiX!Radar. Neutral. We all have a great MiX!Radar, that being that MiX is always scum.
Votes EFHW. Thus, EFHW is Town.
Agrees with ADK voting MiX. IS MIX. Clearly a ploy to make scum!ADK look like town!ADK.
Votes EFHW... again? (reply 57). I can only assume this is some hardcore PR hunting.
Defends me. IS THIS THE RARE TOWN MIX? OR IS THIS A DIRTY CAT PLOY?

9. chairs
It's me! I'm amazing and practically perfect in every way.

10. Eevee
Trusting IC!Robz? Not a good look. Scum.
Fluffy? Good bois are fluffy and pettable. Maaaybe is dog?

11. Space
IS IN SPACE and thus a dog. Have you heard of any famous cats in space? NO. WE ONLY PUT GOOD DOGGOS IN SPACE. NO CAT.

12. Robz
IC.

13. Glooble
"Allergic to cats". Sounds like something a cat would say. Everyone knows even cats hate cats.
Votes me! Confirmed scum.

(14). Jotheonah
Killed N0 by Swowl. Basically John F Doggedy.



Okay I'm bored with that now, ran out of steam about post 84. Main takeaway? This game has had relatively little meat.

Specific notes in not-amusing-myself fashion:
MiX is bit fluffier than usual, which I actually think is a Town!MiX tell - I think scum!MiX kinda bares fangs a little quicker in the outset.
Eevee is stressing that Robz "reads me well" which feels a lil' scummy honestly.
XaL says vote: Dylan is a solid choice. Joseph also a good choice.
Robz as IC is great, because now I don't have to vote Robz off the island for being Robz, who I usually feel like plays a very scummy Town game (and a very scummy Scum game).
The way ADK has played off MiX makes me feel like ADK is kinda scummy.
faust comes off as, well, faust. I'd feel more towny about it from, say, Glooble, but for faust this is neutral.

JOHNNY FIVE NEEDS INPUT. More votes, folks.

Will try to read though stuff past 90 or so in a bit.

I'm also not sure what to make of the pressure on you. I feel like they are making a big thing out of a small amount of information, and again, why encourage you to make baseless claims?

I think Glooble is town.

Feel better Dylan! Do you have someone you think is particularly scummy or towny?

Appreciate it. At the moment no. I do think there has been some alignment stuff that’s happened, but mentally am not in a space to sort it out at the moment. For once, MiX hasn’t necessarily pinged my scum!MiXdar, so I’m going to actively try to not get hung up there this game unless he gives me a good reason to.

Hey, heads up my computer crashed and I'm still fixing that (I mean "new OS" crashed, not "reboot" crashed). I literally haven't looked at my QT yet but I thought I'd note that I will be able to play.

The sequence has an artificial feel to me because it's three people expressing the exact same opinion without elaboration, which raises an alarm bell to me that there's scum involvement. I don't think multiple scum would associate themselves together like that though, especially not in a way that discourages a misexile. So there's probably one scum in there. Though I guess it's less likely to be EFHW since she went first

I don’t have a D1 participation pass, I don’t think. But if I did, why would this be noteworthy to you? Is it because you know I’m Town and don’t understand why what you feel should be an easy mislynch doesn’t seem to be a popular opinion?

And my point was merely that I don’t have any anti-Robz energy. Certainly none that he seems to believe I have. Last time around I was anti-Robz, but only because he was scum and I correctly read him for it.

I don’t see it as defending (at least in Robz case), as commenting on its regularity - more to make the point that, if anything, it’s NAI. I got the same feeling from ADK’s posts, but it’s possible I missed an argument that he made.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on September 27, 2020, 01:57:31 pm
After getting the vote counter going, I also started looking at where the earliest wagon formation started out. ADK is the first person to pick up a multi-vote wagon, at #97 where WCD joins faust on ADK. WCD's assessment was that ADK seemed to be displaying annoyance at people not voting. I don't quite see where that's from, tbh. The original ADK vote was from faust at #77, and was unexplained, but that's pretty common for faust.

From re-reading ADK, I'd say that they fall pretty early into the trap of focusing on what is and isn't normal MiX.

I agree with ADK's response to Eevee about it being more important for scum to live individually than for town.

EFHW's question to ADK at #102 is a bit odd, now I think about it. ADK was clearly criticizing MiX for contributing a lot of words without a lot of analysis, whereas very few people (me, Robz, faust and Dylan) have contributed fewer words than Galz. And on that tangent, I think it's fine for Robz not to say much yet as the IC, and I'm trying to make amends now, even though I'm really not a good D1 player. I think Dylan's been ill, and faust just isn't that verbose, but maybe I should double-check how much he has actually said. Anyway, back on my original point, ADK pointed the distinction out to EFHW at #104.. was that ever followed up/acknowledged?

ADK votes Glooble for a sarcastic comment about MiX being townie for sheeping the IC.

#139, another occasion where ADK directly disagrees with something Eevee says, and again, I feel that I agree more with ADK (in this case that tunnelling someone is an easy role for scum to assume, instead of being something that's hard for scum to mimic).

Aha, apparently from #154, I'm not very original in finding ADK townie. Oh well.

#157-#160: huh, more ADK-Eevee interaction around ADK's asserion that there's probably exactly one scum in the three people who found them townie, which was {EFHW, Dylan, Joseph} in that order.

Okay, so the tl;dr for that re-read is that I find ADK townie, but with an interesting amount of civil disagreement with Eevee in particular, and that I want to re-read faust.

I reread ADK, absolutely don't want to lynch them. Feels they're making a lot of analysis, while I don't agree with all of the conclusions I think that kind of player is so useful to have around.

I'm reading through individual people, looking for someone to vote for.

chairs: Fairly lurky, but I really enjoyed the long reads post even if it was mostly fluff.

Joseph: I'd expect more visibility and participation from Joseph, but the posts he have made seem towny to me. Seems to be trying to figure out the game, asking things I was wondering about too.

EFHW: Ever so slight scum points for the early mention of being scum so often lately, just feel those jokes are more likely to come from scum.

Dylan and Space: Very few posts still (for understandable reasons), hard to say yet.

faust: Surprisingly lurky, but he's the kind of player I was describing when rereading ADK, I'm hesitant to lynch but would like more from.

I guess I'll vote: chairs

Regardless, this would still make Joseph look town, right?

I wouldn't had planned to do something different from what I usually do just so I could townread people that see it, that would be something Didds would point to and say "hmm, this doesn't seem like town!MiX", which as we all know is a death sentence for me.

EFHW's question to ADK at #102 is a bit odd, now I think about it. ADK was clearly criticizing MiX for contributing a lot of words without a lot of analysis, whereas very few people (me, Robz, faust and Dylan) have contributed fewer words than Galz. And on that tangent, I think it's fine for Robz not to say much yet as the IC, and I'm trying to make amends now, even though I'm really not a good D1 player. I think Dylan's been ill, and faust just isn't that verbose, but maybe I should double-check how much he has actually said. Anyway, back on my original point, ADK pointed the distinction out to EFHW at #104.. was that ever followed up/acknowledged?

It's not a strange question if you think of it in terms of applying pressure. I felt like ADK was pressuring MiX, using what was available. But he was defending Galz, when a reason to apply pressure was available. I didn't reply directly (technical problems when I tried), but followed up other posts soon after.

Okay!

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group

This is a good case, and I think you're the scum in this group. I also don't see a difference between this game and the one where we were buddies.

Not the best reason to vote, but it's better than the Galz wagon, and I think I just scumread Glooble every D1 now, I would have to read more into that to know if I should vote there. So, you're the best vote for now.

Space, your tracker (intentionally) missed Joseph voting for EFHW in #141, as the vote was formatted incorrectly (no space after colon). I’m not sure if MOD will count vote or not though.

Also, vote: Joseph

Good catch, and sorry for not checking! I have a flag in the script header that lets me control whether to count missing spaces, so I've enabled it for this game.. guess the last one I played in didn't allow them or something?

I'll post an updated count as soon as I've re-read Glooble and decided whether I want to join the IC and my townread on there, since I should really move myself off the "Not voting" line.

Hi hi!

I’m completely unsure where the weekend went and now I need to make dinner and whatnot and time is elusive.

I have only done a rough skim of the last couple of pages.

Space, when I said ADK was being annoyed at people not voting that was in reference to
Yes we've apparently entered some kind of nightmare dimension where we need a pre-RVS chitchat phase before we get into RVS proper

I am surprised that Joseph is being quite so low key. Same with Galzy and especially faust. But it’s the weekend so it’s hard to tell.  I’m also a little surprised that MiX is being so affable.

None of that is particularly important, just something I want to think more about when I have some time to focus tomorrow.

Oh, and I also half-did my faust re-read earlier, and have just tidied if off now:
Faust makes a comment about dogs not being allowed to vote, and then a comment about Robz missing an 8, which I don't get.
Throws a question at Eevee in #49, about why MiX is trying too hard, which is probably useful given that Eevee isn't someone who's played a whole lot with MiX, so it may be useful to identify if Eevee's not "getting" MiX.
Then there's a longer comment about flavour.
Kind of a facetious response to MiX about trying hard, but then it was unhelpful of MiX to answer on Eevee's behalf in the first place.
Eevee himself answers at #78. This all seems like really early-game stuff to be looking back on.
More ribbing MiX at #94.
More specific Eevee interaction at #118. Is Eevee just having personal connections with everyone I decide to ISO?
Then there's a link to a cat in space. I'm all for education, but this Anemone is definitely canine! (Though chairs's post was brilliant!).
Good follow-up to ADK at #155. While I townread them, I still approve of scrutiny.
Then faust is missing after that, which is something I can relate to. I recall he has posted a VLA, though also that doesn't come into effect until Thursday. Anyway, I don't think the fact he hasn't posted as much of a volume of words as most other people is immediately concerning, which was the main thing I wanted to ascertain by re-reading.

Post by: Dylan32 on September 27, 2020, 07:40:42 pm
The fact that he noticed me sheeping people tells me he's trying to read the thread searching for who's scum. That's an excellent town tell for Joseph.

I think I agree with MiX about Joseph here, but I'm a little bit torn. My gut wants to say MiX noticing that and thinking like this is towny also, but MiX can be MiXian enough that I'm wondering what the odds are scuMiX planned to sheep people early and watch for/comment on whoever noticed. MiX, why are you the way that you are? lol

Regardless, this would still make Joseph look town, right?

I wouldn't had planned to do something different from what I usually do just so I could townread people that see it, that would be something Didds would point to and say "hmm, this doesn't seem like town!MiX", which as we all know is a death sentence for me.

Yes, I think it does.

Ok, so if you didn't come into this game planning on doing something different for the reads, why have you been sheeping other people this much so far? Since that is something that is a little different from what you usually do.

Had a busy weekend. Bad timing I know. But look at games where I'm scum and come under pressure- I don't lurk, I divert. I usually come in swinging at somebody else, and usually not someone on my wagon cause  I know OMGUS looks suspicious. This isn't how I play as scum.

This is incredibly townie, seems like suicide for scum to be so opposed to something. Unless ADK's also scum, then it's a really good play. So, keep the Glooble/ADK pair in mind.

There's nothing for town to say about the setup, so what we know is that scum identified this and steered away from it because they don't need to, which is a good reason to townread Space.

Seems like we are already falling into the familiar pattern of directing all energy and attention toward MiX, which I am learning is at the very least anti-town, if not necessarily scum behavior. A challenge to all: Talk about any other player as much as you talk about MiX!

This is Robz's post before he votes for you, he specifically says focusing on MiX is "not necessarily scummy". He doesn't lay out why he votes for you but it's a huge leap of logic to say that Robz's attitude here is "all MiX voters are scummy"

Town sticks to their convictions. My conviction at the time was that MiX was acting scummy. I stuck to it. ADK changed their conviction to something that would make them look better.

It's totally fine to stop scumreading someone because new information is offered. That's totally different from immediately flipping when you realize you've taken a position that the IC disagrees with.

I am by no means townreading MiX, but your "sheeping the IC is scummy" line came off to me as the lazy sort of argument that scum goes for when they have pressure on themie

The whole "how you position yourself with respect to the IC" argument is subject to a lot of WIFOM because everyone is very aware of it. You could just as easily say that scum wants an opportunity to go against the IC because that will make them seem townie

When ADK voted MiX, they didn't know you would follow. Once you did, Robz took it in his head, we don't know why, to vote for you. Then MiX followed. Then ADK. Do I have that right? When did ADK create the opportunity to set you up? I think your MiX vote struck several people as scummy, including ADK. They did do a bit of a 180, but there was no reason to expect them to townread you particularly. It seems to me like Robz set you up, not ADK. Or maybe he was actually setting up MiX and ADK. Sheeping the IC can be pretty scummy, so you do have that argument against them both.

Why are we asking questions about why we are voting for Joseph?
Because it's a bad idea from nowhere.
Which to be honest sums up most the wagons so far this game- built off nothing and people just jumping on them

Not feeling good about this ADK situation that occurred. Feeling worse about the Galz situation.

Didds and MiX getting D1 passes from me

What situation? That some people are town reading me or that some people are scum reading me?

It's actually a fairly comfortable position for scum to be pushing a player that they know has no chance of being the exile anyways.

Sure doesn't seem to be helping Glooble.

Hasn't hurt him either.

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

I'm voting Joseph because of the evolution of his "reads" - voting for EFHW for "RVS", that turns into 'leaving his vote there for real reasons' - those 'reasons' being a purchase into the belief that 3 consecutive people expressing town reads on ADK could not themselves all be town, and EFHW (for unexplained reasons) is the scummiest of those 3 people - sorry, 2 people, as Joseph himself was one of the 3 (and thus would not consider himself). The other player, Glooble, has a few votes himself with plenty of conversation happening around him, yet Joseph has been completely silent on that topic. Seems to me that if Joseph genuinely believed that there were scum amongst {EFHW, Glooble}, he would be more interested in considering the arguments surrounding both players in that pair.

Looking back, you’re correct. I clearly didn’t check my sources:

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group
Well if you're right, then that means there's one scum in {EFHW, Glooble}. And I don't think it was 3 town saying it (although the laziest person was me, for just agreeing, I'm ignoring myself as I'm town)

So I kind of like where my vote is

My point is still valid, however: Joseph has decided there’s scum within the group that Townread ADK earlier - he dismisses himself, arbitrarily picks EFHW, and never comments on or discusses the other player (you, or in his mind, Glooble).

Sorry, we have so many sets of 3s going,  I didn't notice Galzria's mistake. So a few less scum points for Joseph.

I think the recent votes on me are scummy. Why shouldn't I state that almost everyone is striking me as scummy enough for a day 1 vote?

Going with vote: MiX.  He would try hardest to exile me on Day 1 bc he sees me as most vulnerable then, which is probably true since I am more useful later on. The initial RVSing could have been a smokescreen enabling him to slide into a "real" scumread on me without having much of reason.

I see that I wasn't clear, and it sounded like I wanted to vote randomly.  That wasn't what I meant at all. I mean that I don't have town reads right now. Almost all the active people all have something that gives me pause and the people lying low are scummy for doing that.

And even if I had meant what it sounded like, that's more anti town than scummy and it makes no sense for me to say that as scum.

Wait, if that's why you weren't on glooble, but at the time (and I didn't realize this had happened until Galz quoted it):

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group
Well if you're right, then that means there's one scum in {EFHW, Glooble}. And I don't think it was 3 town saying it (although the laziest person was me, for just agreeing, I'm ignoring myself as I'm town)

So I kind of like where my vote is

You also mistakenly thought it was EFHW/Glooble as the other two in that group, and in fact is probably where Galz got those names from, which means that while Galz's logic was based on falsehood, it was a shared wrong assumption that the two of you made. But you just acted like the thing that you first and then Galz messed up was something you knew was wrong all along in order to explain your actions. I can't say this in strong enough terms:

I pointed out that Galz messed up the group of people who townread ADK back to back to back in trying to read Joseph. Joseph said Glooble not really being in that group explained why he wasn't suspicious of Glooble, but Joseph was originally the first person to put Glooble in that group to begin with by mistake, so he literally was just caught in a lie regarding his motives behind his reads/actions.

Well, this sure is a thing I said in our scumchat, yeah. It's precisely why I'm pushing you today. I still think you're scum, so clearly we should exile you now as it's the easiest time to exile scum.

This makes sense even if I'm town, so I don't understand the scumread.

This is a good case, and I think you're the scum in this group. I also don't see a difference between this game and the one where we were buddies.

Not the best reason to vote, but it's better than the Galz wagon, and I think I just scumread Glooble every D1 now, I would have to read more into that to know if I should vote there. So, you're the best vote for now.

It wasn't just that, there's a bunch of things I saw from you that look like they come from scum. Unfortunately, I'm not thinking straight this game, so I don't know if it's what scum!you would do. I still think you're out of touch with what town would be thinking, and generally coming at things from a different perspective than the thread signifies having more information than the rest of us.

It's close to deadline, I'll try to reread this and one of your scum games (you have a lot of them!) and see if I'm right or wrong.

@MiX,  I think you should post all the other things that seemed scummy.

Your observation of my attitude towards town is correct.  But that's just how I am in general. Low key contrarian. Standing off a bit, especially early on. Not on purpose, and I could make up reasons, but I think it's an Ok approach.

Hi and also my bedtime 🌙.

I felt like thinking about adding the emoji is a feeling scum have more than town on average, trying to make their posts better. Of course, it's also something I do when I'm sleepy.

Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

Galz has been a bit of a lurker in the past few games I've been in with him. He's not someone I expect to be very active D1

PPE of course he posts as I'm writing this

How did you decide to put pressure on MiX but defend Galz?

"How" and not "Why" felt odd with me. The question's a weird shade on ADK that still feels wrong to me, even after the explanation.

I get that.  But the day had hardly begun, and MiX was being encouraged to do his tunnel thing. But in any case, his voting me is starting to feel less like friendly RVS and more like something else.  Not sure what.

If it's not RVS, then it's...not RVS? What else can it be? I don't think I was hiding that my vote was due to reads at that moment.

Hey, heads up my computer crashed and I'm still fixing that (I mean "new OS" crashed, not "reboot" crashed). I literally haven't looked at my QT yet but I thought I'd note that I will be able to play.

I just realized - this is "pure chairs" since he didn't know his alignment.

Scum would've known their alignment, so pure = town.

Galzria, do you have any reads?

Galz has been quieter in games lately, and when he does post, it's 99% anti-Robz content. You can tell I'm not bitter at all!

Only the last game! Because you were buddying me! And you WERE scum!
That's a very good point. But why is everyone giving you a Day 1 participation pass?

I thought I would still have a grudge against faust, but I seem to be over it.

You don't have a grudge against faust since there was a full game between that and now. Also, people have been giving Galz a D1 participation pass for a while. And town!you would have something else to say about faust, I think.

This isn't about you, specifically,  it's about participation passes in general.  ADK and the IC are both defending your lower activity despite the fact that more activity is always better, with the exception of thread cluttering, of course

Not scummy, but I'd like to point out that Galz is a very viable misexile when people push him on activity. So, don't do it :P


That's it I think. A lot of weird pings coming off you, and that's what scum!EFHW does to me, typically anyway.

I felt like thinking about adding the emoji is a feeling scum have more than town on average, trying to make their posts better. Of course, it's also something I do when I'm sleepy.

This is random. Anyway, the emoji popped up in my autocorrect, so it was random too, to me.

Quote
Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

Galz has been a bit of a lurker in the past few games I've been in with him. He's not someone I expect to be very active D1

PPE of course he posts as I'm writing this

How did you decide to put pressure on MiX but defend Galz?

"How" and not "Why" felt odd with me. The question's a weird shade on ADK that still feels wrong to me, even after the explanation.

I was putting some pressure on ADK because he was being inconsistent. "How" is less critical than "why" and was more what I was interested in. A minor distinction, to be sure.

Quote
I get that.  But the day had hardly begun, and MiX was being encouraged to do his tunnel thing. But in any case, his voting me is starting to feel less like friendly RVS and more like something else.  Not sure what.

If it's not RVS, then it's...not RVS? What else can it be? I don't think I was hiding that my vote was due to reads at that moment.

Like I said later, I thought you could be trying to create feeling of inevitability about my exile.

Quote
Hey, heads up my computer crashed and I'm still fixing that (I mean "new OS" crashed, not "reboot" crashed). I literally haven't looked at my QT yet but I thought I'd note that I will be able to play.

I just realized - this is "pure chairs" since he didn't know his alignment.

Scum would've known their alignment, so pure = town.

I don't get this. It's about chairs not knowing his alignment, not me not knowing it (though I don't).

Quote
Galzria, do you have any reads?

Galz has been quieter in games lately, and when he does post, it's 99% anti-Robz content. You can tell I'm not bitter at all!

Only the last game! Because you were buddying me! And you WERE scum!
That's a very good point. But why is everyone giving you a Day 1 participation pass?

I thought I would still have a grudge against faust, but I seem to be over it.

You don't have a grudge against faust since there was a full game between that and now. Also, people have been giving Galz a D1 participation pass for a while. And town!you would have something else to say about faust, I think.

How do you know why I do or don't have a grudge? I was TOWN in that game, btw, as was faust.

snipping last one since you didn't think it was scummy.

Quote
That's it I think. A lot of weird pings coming off you, and that's what scum!EFHW does to me, typically anyway.

At what point did you indicate your read had changed from RVS? I didn't know it until after I brought it up specifically.

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

I'm voting Joseph because of the evolution of his "reads" - voting for EFHW for "RVS", that turns into 'leaving his vote there for real reasons' - those 'reasons' being a purchase into the belief that 3 consecutive people expressing town reads on ADK could not themselves all be town, and EFHW (for unexplained reasons) is the scummiest of those 3 people - sorry, 2 people, as Joseph himself was one of the 3 (and thus would not consider himself). The other player, Glooble, has a few votes himself with plenty of conversation happening around him, yet Joseph has been completely silent on that topic. Seems to me that if Joseph genuinely believed that there were scum amongst {EFHW, Glooble}, he would be more interested in considering the arguments surrounding both players in that pair.

Glooble wasn't the 3rd in that sequence of ADK townreads. Glooble was voting for ADK, then EFHW townread, I agreed, then Joseph agreed.

Yes this is why I wasn't on Glooble
And as for Dylan, they've not made many posts for me to analyse right now

Although this post seems more towny than EFHW's vote for anyone post

PPE: 1

Wait, if that's why you weren't on glooble, but at the time (and I didn't realize this had happened until Galz quoted it):

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group
Well if you're right, then that means there's one scum in {EFHW, Glooble}. And I don't think it was 3 town saying it (although the laziest person was me, for just agreeing, I'm ignoring myself as I'm town)

So I kind of like where my vote is

You also mistakenly thought it was EFHW/Glooble as the other two in that group, and in fact is probably where Galz got those names from, which means that while Galz's logic was based on falsehood, it was a shared wrong assumption that the two of you made. But you just acted like the thing that you first and then Galz messed up was something you knew was wrong all along in order to explain your actions. I can't say this in strong enough terms:

Vote: Joseph

This would be a stronger argument if joseph had been voting for glooble, but the fact that he was voting for EFHW makes it plausible that he mixed up who the other person was

I’m still playing catch up a bit....but my quick takes are that it’s odd to me that Jospeh isn’t doing more in terms of defense. I get that this is priority 100, but X-2.....

EFHW and MiX are playing their own game. It’s not distracting, necessarily, but it’s not engaging with much beyond one another so it’s generating posts without much relevant content. It’s maybe too laid back for one to be scum because they aren’t trying to convince anyone else, but still.

Dylan has made the best argument so far in regard to Joseph. Earlier faust grumbled about wanting to keep reasons close to the vest. Fair enough, since that takes away the topoi for defense but also hard to rally around.

I said it was impressions, and it is impressions.  Robz doesn't know me well (or maybe he does but just wishes I was a didds of substance...alas) so I can see why he would find it scummy.

But what is really interesting is the EFHW willingness to jump so quickly based on almost nothing other than noticing that she has been in the weeds with MiX. I didn't say that you had only interacted with MiX so saying that I failed to acknowledge the other people isn't compelling. I feel pretty sure that more having a discussion of the scumminess or not of a moon emoji is exactly the kind of thing you'd find suspect if you weren't the one doing it.

I think there's more to unpack here. Joseph lists me as one of the players finding ADK townie while I am voting for ADK and honestly tunneling them pretty hard. It's a fundamental misreading of the game. Then Galz builds a case on Joseph based on this misreading without pointing it out (and in fact, further solidifying the false narrative.) It's a bizarre mistake for one player to make and an even more bizzare mistake for two players to make and no one to notice until several pages later. So the question we have to ask ourselves it is it more likely a town mistake, or a scum mistake? On the one hand, scum tend to scrutinize their arguments more before they present them, but on the other hand, a player who is genuinely trying to find scum, rather than trying to find a compelling narrative that ADK might be scum, is going to be more likely to actually be paying attention to the rest of what's going on, and therefore to know that I am finding ADK the opposite of townie at that point.

I think Joseph and Galz are both super suspicious.

This argument is terrible, town does this way, way more than scum. Scum would know exactly who is pushing ADK regardless of Glooble and ADK's alignment.

Bolded line is exactly what scum does, present the conclusion of what the "evidence" says, because to them that's all that matters. Glooble sees what they wrote, and reaches the conclusion they should be shading Joseph and Galzria, so they point it out. Town doesn't need to do this, since the argumentation speaks for itself.

No worries. I wouldn't say that I am endorsing the Joseph wagon, either, although I have not been explicit (but it all made sense in my head). I do think Dylan has made the best argument, but I think that says more about Dylan than the argument. I think scum Joseph plays more defense and is likely to also add a dose of righteous indignation. I don't see either one of those here. He is laid back in a way that I don't think suits his scum self.

It's late and I have a headache, so while it wasn't long, I'm going to tl;dr my last post for clarity on the salient point.

I pointed out that Galz messed up the group of people who townread ADK back to back to back in trying to read Joseph. Joseph said Glooble not really being in that group explained why he wasn't suspicious of Glooble, but Joseph was originally the first person to put Glooble in that group to begin with by mistake, so he literally was just caught in a lie regarding his motives behind his reads/actions.
It was late and I made a mistake. Everything I said about Glooble and Dylan was what I thought, the fact I temporarily forgot which one of them was on the set of people- so what? Mistakes happen

I had about 100 things on yesterday, and this game really was priority 100

PPE: 1

Sure, the original mistake is totally NAI and mistakes happen, I get that and wouldn't try to make a case out of it. But after I pointed out the mistake, you said that glooble not actually being in that group originally is why you weren't on glooble the same way you were on EFHW. That couldn't have been true, because until I pointed out the mistake, multiple people including you thought glooble was in that group. So the mistake is totally fair, but the claim that glooble not being in that group was the reason you weren't voting or suspicious of them doesn't hold up since you thought they were. You could have made a mistake and then given a different reason for reading glooble the same way, and I wouldn't have a thing to say other than is town or scum more likely to make a mistake like this, and in fact someone else already brought that up. But in this post...

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

I'm voting Joseph because of the evolution of his "reads" - voting for EFHW for "RVS", that turns into 'leaving his vote there for real reasons' - those 'reasons' being a purchase into the belief that 3 consecutive people expressing town reads on ADK could not themselves all be town, and EFHW (for unexplained reasons) is the scummiest of those 3 people - sorry, 2 people, as Joseph himself was one of the 3 (and thus would not consider himself).

Glooble wasn't the 3rd in that sequence of ADK townreads. Glooble was voting for ADK, then EFHW townread, I agreed, then Joseph agreed.

Yes this is why I wasn't on Glooble
And as for Dylan, they've not made many posts for me to analyse right now

Although this post seems more towny than EFHW's vote for anyone post

PPE: 1

... you explicitly claim that a correct understanding of the facts (specifically, knowing that glooble was not in that group) was the reason you weren't on them, when it's documented that you didn't realize that.  Which means you were just making up a reason after the fact rather than truthfully explaining your motives.  If you instead said, "Oh, I messed that up, you're right that I should have had glooble under suspicion based on that, too" or "Oh, now my thoughts towards glooble as it relates to that group now apply to Dylan instead" or a pretty big variety of possible responses actually, you would have acted consistently with realizing you made a mistake and adjusting accordingly, but you didn't. You described yourself as having acted in a way that you only could have if you hadn't made a mistake to begin with.

I appreciate Dylan's effort, but Joseph's mixup seems fairly innocent.

Like I said, the original mistake could be totally innocent, NAI, whatever. But his arguments and reads have to be evaluated through the lens of "was operating under faulty info" for that time period. The insidious part was the double speak of saying he made a mistake while simultaneously saying that he had reached a conclusion that could only have happened if he had not made that mistake to begin with.

I keep  reading that as Swowl was hammered.

But, seriously,  there is a lot of time left. You had 2 other scumreads. You stated three different ways that you disagreed with the wagon in just the last page.

Yeah, I disagreed with it. Then I read the case again. And again. And some more. Joseph's actions make no sense as town, and I think they match with what they could've done as scum.

That being said, Vote: EFHW

So scum!Joseph lost track of his lies?

Occam's razor says yeah. If he was town and had an actual reason for seeing glooble and EFHW differently that addressed Galz's original point, he would have remembered that rather than saying essentially "I knew he wasn't in that group, so your point is invalid."
I think he was lazy both times. He didn't remember because he made a careless vote in the first place.

Huh, I was just awol rather than deliberately refraining from voting. TBH, I agree with the people pointing out that you're quite likely just to have made the error. I also think that Dylan's post calling out your inconsistency at #331 is spot on. However, I also think you're more likely even as town to pretend the error didn't happen and just brush it off rather than owning it and giving everyone some insight into what you had actually meant. So overall I'm meh on you still.

EFHW (2): Joseph2302, MiX
Galzria (1): WestCoastDidds
Joseph2302 (5): Galzria, Dylan32, Eevee, Glooble, Chairs
WestCoastDidds (1): Robz888

I think Joseph was at 6 votes between #339 and #345, but was not hammered.

This is a great example of don't lie as town.

The lie in this case would be when he said  that he thought about the first vote at all.

The lie, or mistake, aside, Joseph said he bought into a "X, Y or Z" theory. He then removed himself as Z, and said that scum must be between "X and Y". He then voted for X. Without any additional reasoning behind that vote. And he never even commented on Y. Whether Y is Glooble or Dylan.

That's the basis. Now, since then, he has claimed that:

A: Glooble (who is in fact neither X nor Y) was townie for other reasons, and thus why he wasn't really interested in voting him over EFHW (this is in response to me - and my mistake in not checking the initial erroneous claim):

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

I'm voting Joseph because of the evolution of his "reads" - voting for EFHW for "RVS", that turns into 'leaving his vote there for real reasons' - those 'reasons' being a purchase into the belief that 3 consecutive people expressing town reads on ADK could not themselves all be town, and EFHW (for unexplained reasons) is the scummiest of those 3 people - sorry, 2 people, as Joseph himself was one of the 3 (and thus would not consider himself). The other player, Glooble, has a few votes himself with plenty of conversation happening around him, yet Joseph has been completely silent on that topic. Seems to me that if Joseph genuinely believed that there were scum amongst {EFHW, Glooble}, he would be more interested in considering the arguments surrounding both players in that pair.
Well Glooble has had one of these random wagons on them  and that makes me feel better about them (because it does seem to me like people are just piling onto whoever gets a vote or 2)

B: That he wasn't concerned with Glooble being in the group at all because he, well, in fact, isn't:

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

Glooble wasn't the 3rd in that sequence of ADK townreads. Glooble was voting for ADK, then EFHW townread, I agreed, then Joseph agreed.

Yes this is why I wasn't on Glooble
And as for Dylan, they've not made many posts for me to analyse right now

Although this post seems more towny than EFHW's vote for anyone post

PPE: 1

And through all of that, his best justification for his EFHW vote was...:

Wait, sorry, there never was one.

Don't plan to move my vote.

I’m still playing catch up a bit....but my quick takes are that it’s odd to me that Jospeh isn’t doing more in terms of defense. I get that this is priority 100, but X-2.....

EFHW and MiX are playing their own game. It’s not distracting, necessarily, but it’s not engaging with much beyond one another so it’s generating posts without much relevant content. It’s maybe too laid back for one to be scum because they aren’t trying to convince anyone else, but still.

I wanted to comment on this one as I read it, because I thought WCD characterised my difficulty at really feeling like I could engage with the EFHW-MiX microanalysis. I put it down to me just not having "clicked" with the game yet, since that's a common phenomenon to me, and it was nice to see it couched in a way that explained why it might not be the more engage-with-able thing ever. I was kind of surprised how much negative feedback Didds got over it when I read on, though.

So I was mildly surprised by how spread out the votes are outside of the Joseph wagon.

Unrelated to the game, but I can't help but chuckle anytime I notice Swowl's signature. Possibly the single most memorable mafia moment of my life haha.

Post by: A Drowned Kernel on September 29, 2020, 08:03:21 pm
It's late and I have a headache, so while it wasn't long, I'm going to tl;dr my last post for clarity on the salient point.

I pointed out that Galz messed up the group of people who townread ADK back to back to back in trying to read Joseph. Joseph said Glooble not really being in that group explained why he wasn't suspicious of Glooble, but Joseph was originally the first person to put Glooble in that group to begin with by mistake, so he literally was just caught in a lie regarding his motives behind his reads/actions.
It was late and I made a mistake. Everything I said about Glooble and Dylan was what I thought, the fact I temporarily forgot which one of them was on the set of people- so what? Mistakes happen

I had about 100 things on yesterday, and this game really was priority 100

PPE: 1

Sure, the original mistake is totally NAI and mistakes happen, I get that and wouldn't try to make a case out of it. But after I pointed out the mistake, you said that glooble not actually being in that group originally is why you weren't on glooble the same way you were on EFHW. That couldn't have been true, because until I pointed out the mistake, multiple people including you thought glooble was in that group. So the mistake is totally fair, but the claim that glooble not being in that group was the reason you weren't voting or suspicious of them doesn't hold up since you thought they were. You could have made a mistake and then given a different reason for reading glooble the same way, and I wouldn't have a thing to say other than is town or scum more likely to make a mistake like this, and in fact someone else already brought that up. But in this post...

What’s the argument on Jospeh?

I'm voting Joseph because of the evolution of his "reads" - voting for EFHW for "RVS", that turns into 'leaving his vote there for real reasons' - those 'reasons' being a purchase into the belief that 3 consecutive people expressing town reads on ADK could not themselves all be town, and EFHW (for unexplained reasons) is the scummiest of those 3 people - sorry, 2 people, as Joseph himself was one of the 3 (and thus would not consider himself).

Glooble wasn't the 3rd in that sequence of ADK townreads. Glooble was voting for ADK, then EFHW townread, I agreed, then Joseph agreed.

Yes this is why I wasn't on Glooble
And as for Dylan, they've not made many posts for me to analyse right now

Although this post seems more towny than EFHW's vote for anyone post

PPE: 1

... you explicitly claim that a correct understanding of the facts (specifically, knowing that glooble was not in that group) was the reason you weren't on them, when it's documented that you didn't realize that.  Which means you were just making up a reason after the fact rather than truthfully explaining your motives.  If you instead said, "Oh, I messed that up, you're right that I should have had glooble under suspicion based on that, too" or "Oh, now my thoughts towards glooble as it relates to that group now apply to Dylan instead" or a pretty big variety of possible responses actually, you would have acted consistently with realizing you made a mistake and adjusting accordingly, but you didn't. You described yourself as having acted in a way that you only could have if you hadn't made a mistake to begin with.

Maybe I'm giving Joseph too much benefit of the doubt, but I originally read his "this is why I wasn't on Glooble" as meaning "I wasn't voting for glooble because I had his and Dylan's posts confused in my head", not as "I knew glooble was outside the group all along"

It would suggest that scum!you were unhappy with your partners, which is bad for teamwork and unnecessarily hurtful. From now on, this situation will be WIFOM, of course.

As for why now, I knew I could be wrong about you, OMGUS and all that, so I went over things again.  I was also wondering if having just been partners is making us paranoid about each other.  I've had that feeling before.

I mean, I would not have been offended at all if MiX was my partner and said that, and more importantly I don't think scum!MiX would decide to not post something like this based on the reasoning you laid out. (Which I do not mean to say I think MiX is inconsiderate, but rather that he'd assume, as is reasonable in a game of mafia, that his partners wouldn't take whatever MiX posts in thread as his true opinion.)

Also I think I posted in scum chats before that I wish I could have been scum with ashersky, because I never have been and imagine it would be a load of fun. Sorry to anyone who might have been hurt by this; I did not mean to say I don't enjoy being scum with you.

I unvoted you, remember? And I had reasons for my vote, one of which turned out to be a misunderstanding.  Do we have your full attention?
I'm sorry, this was really not nice of me.

Thank you

faust, you said chairs was scummy for the vote bouncing around yesterday. EFHW did the same thing plus another vote/invite on MiX and snapped at me for voting for her. Is that les scummy than chairs?
Yes. With EFHW I can see why she voted and unvoted when she did, and that largely seems to make sense.

Meep. The Joseph wagon is understandable, with all the inconsistency. But I really doubt they are the kind of player to claim VT in that spot as scum.

Non-Joseph votes really need to consolidate. Is noone liking chairs? The way he hopped onto the Didds wagon just to immediately abandon it is was pretty suspicious.

chairs is hard to get excited about, as far as I can tell it's basically a lurker exile
I'm going with

vote: ADK.

This comment seems like it could be strategic modesty and setting town up, similar to when people set up artificial 1:1s.

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group

PPE: MiX

I'll admit it wasn't the most stellar argument, which is why I haven't really followed up with it. Certainly none of the three players in question have jumped out at me as scummy
We often seem to chairs exile based mainly on inactivity. There must be a better option based on scumminess not just lurkiness

I don't know why you two insist that chairs would be a lurker exile when my reasoning, which both of you quoted, clearly has nothing to do with his level of activity, but I don't like it.

I might claim if I get another vote or two on me.

I could certainly see them both being scum, but I don't have any particular evidence of them being partners. I might be tunneling a little because ADK's attacks on me feel personal, I'm open to that possibility. But in general pretty much everything they've said this game has come off as manipulative and scummy to me. Joseph, OTOH, has Dylan's excellent case and an actual chance of happening.

Maybe that was the wrong term. It feels very obvious to me that ADK's case on me is built out of nothing, and I'm baffled by everyone's willingness to go along with it. I see a musch stronger scum narrative for them than a town one, and I'm hoping that if I do get exiled and flip town, that narrative will be as obvious to all of you as it is to me, right now, having knowledge of my own alignment.

Could someone please state a case on me using actual facts? I don't know what such a case would look like, but I'm guessing its not remotely close to as good as the case on Joseph.

The first time I was an IC, on Jimmmm's site, I played it more or less how Robz is playing it. A more experienced player, I wish I could remember who, it may even have been ADK, might also have been shraeye or Galz, advised me to not vote until the very end of wagons as IC, because my vote on a bad wagon gave scum too much cover if they got on after me. In subsequent games where I've gotten the IC role, I've tended to avoid starting a wagon unless I was fairly certain about it.

The fact that my wagon started with a vote from Robz but has been pushed by ADK is telling. It gives ADK cover for when I flip town. "Oh, well I didn't start it, it was the IC, I just followed along." Again, look at the votes. ADK votes for MiX, gives their reasons. I say "those reasons make sense." Robz tells people not to fall into the trap of voting for MiX, then votes for me. Even if Robz didn't outright say "voting for MiX is scummy" the fact that he immediately voted for me implied it. Then ADK jumps on me. Even though I was literally sheeping their case. I just don't see a town narrative for that behavior at all. But it makes perfect sense to me as a deflection tactic from a scum player when the IC calls their case scummy.

Grunch grunch!

I also think Glooble is town (but ADK is townier).

I really think Joseph is a good bet, and I wouldn't oppose a lurker exile (say chairs). Mix lately has been behaving like I'd expect from his townself, but come to think of it not sure I've ever seen him as scum, as much as I've always thought he was.

Main point, not sure why the Joseph wagon fizzled, I didn't find his defense compelling at all. I didn't see Didds's original posts as scummy as others, but the defense didn't ring very genuine to me, I'll be keeping my eye out on them.

All in all, deadline close, the case on Joseph was a GREAT d1 case, I really think we should go for that.

Also funny sidenote, if Robz wasn't the IC, I'd totally be calling for his lurker lynch now, haha. (... I know his play makes sense for IC, just think it's funny that it makes sense for IC and scum to play sort of the same way.)

As a town player, I have never jumped on another player for agreeing with me. Especially early in the game when the goal is just to generate a few wagons that can be analyzed later.

Idk, I'm going to wait until ADK builds an actual case on me to try and defend myself more. I stayed up too late watching the dumpster fire and my brain is kinda scrambled.

I’ve always got an eyes on you, Eevee...the cute, fluffy saboteur!

I am feeling pressure to consolidate (although maybe I am doing that to myself) but feel like both Joseph and Glooble are town friends.

EFHW is the best choice, but there’s what, three votes there, maybe? No one seems interested in Galz (who is more lurky to me than chairs). 

I’ll wait to see what ADK has to say, I guess. These are uninspiring choices... I guess exiling a VT isn’t the worst option, but it would be more awesome to exile scum, you know?

You should go back and re-read then. I have more game posts than Chairs, and only 4 fewer game posts than you do. And I would argue that 2/3 of my game posts (past the RVS stages) have had game-substance to them. And that's coming from me, who doesn't do D1 particularly well in general. I would very much NOT classify my play this game as being "lurky" in any fashion.

Deadline is in less than 10 hours?

If it's looking like a noexile, I think we should all go for whoever Robz tells us to go for. Any random exile > no exile in my opinion, and Robz is a good instinctual player to boot, he can do better than random (if anyone can). I'll be up for at least 5 hours still, but will be sleeping at the deadline, so unless there's a majority before that, I'll be switching my vote to whoever Robz is voting for then. (Robz feel free to direct me if it comes to that!)

Obvs would prefer an organic exile. I'll be present on and off for the following hours, people should consider consolidating votes!

It's noteworthy that the primary defense of Joseph hasn't really come from Joseph. This wouldn't be the first time since I came back last year that I caught scum!Joseph on a narrative like this D1 if I'm right (inb4 Joseph "you aren't"). I have a lot to do today, so I probably won't be on much throughout the day, but I should be able to be around to move if needed for an exile later. As it is, I believe I've caught scum, so I'm not moving until I have to.

Here’s where I’m at:

I think Glooble is Town. He’s read incredibly genuine to me, and I don’t want to see him exiled or even forced to claim today.

I think Joseph has the hands down best case for being scum. I’m happy with my vote there, and would ideally very much prefer him.

My second scum read, however, is a gut read, and it’s Eevee. I don’t really want to make any sort of end of day push towards him, but his being on Joseph is the only thing giving me pause on my vote.  It also makes me concerned that Joseph/Glooble are both Town, and we don’t have a GOOD alternative (we could make anyone happen if we wanted, but few are actually good).

So... yeah. Open to suggestions.

Vote: Joseph

Pretty sure I've given Joseph the benefit of the doubt before in justifying something he'd done that would have been a mistake as town as just careless play, only to have had it turn out that he was scum, so maybe I should learn to put less of a "careless town" prior on him sometime. At the very least, it's a vote against people retconning their narratives about voting reasoning.

Currently Eevee and I are on Joseph, you and Joseph are on EFHW, and faust is on Glooble, which is a bit fragmented, but my move hasn't made it any worse.

vote: space

I think the Glooble wagon is going to be interesting for PoE later after a few people have flipped, but I'm not really feeling that vote any more.

Vote: Joseph

Pretty sure I've given Joseph the benefit of the doubt before in justifying something he'd done that would have been a mistake as town as just careless play, only to have had it turn out that he was scum, so maybe I should learn to put less of a "careless town" prior on him sometime. At the very least, it's a vote against people retconning their narratives about voting reasoning.

PPE 2.

This is scummy as hell. Space abandons one wagon with next to no reasoning and joins another with reasoning that's largely based on meta. It's a weak vote, and at the point it happens it heavily shifts the exile onto be joseph

May I remind you of my carefully-presented logic for being on the Glooble wagon to begin with? Here's the case I posted when  I voted:

I'm finding that I really like this compelling argument from Glooble himself:

Wagons are good. So huzzah!

Vote: Glooble

Basically, it was a wagon with the IC and a townread on it, and I wanted to see who else would hitch themselves on if it looked like it had even a smidge of support, since that would be great PoE for me.

As for Joseph, there was a non-negligible case. I stand by my belief that scum!Joseph has previously used the fact he's occasionally prone to not thinking things through as a cover for scummy actions, though my memory is holey enough that I can't give you specific game references.

Weirdly, all this does for me is make me mildly worried about the possibility Glooble is scum and I'll look bad if he flips as such :-P

As I said to ADK, my Glooble vote was based on wanting to see how the wagon fared, rather than me finding him scummy, but at the same time, that doesn't mean I have a particular townread on him. Though probably he's someone I should form an opinion on if I'm going to have people trying to tie my alignment to his.

Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 2 Has Begun!
Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 03, 2020, 08:09:12 am
At the moment, I still have a residual townread on ADK. I had been worried about the amount of weird direct Eevee interactions, but that has faded now. I'm glad we still have an IC, and I agree with EFHW that it may mean we have an active Doctor, which scum would know about if they have a two-shot roleblocker.

Oh, and to save anyone else having to look it up, MiX's Rotweiller role means that he was the town roleblocker. I don't think he'd crumb ahead of time whom he was going to block, would he? Also, if we have a scum roleblocker, there's a chance his target could have NKd after all, if MiX himself was roleblocked, though the more layers there are, the less likely everything gets.

The votes weren't on you at the time but more than one person had previously voted for you or expressed a willingness to vote for you. The situation when space voted was three wagons, with 4, 4, and 3 votes; with the deadline coming up, a push onto any one of them could have resulted in an exile. The fact that space stepped forward to make that push on a player they had previously expressed zero opinion on reads extremely scummy to me

ADK, here's a load of reasoning around where I moved my vote before calling it a night:

I was definitely moving away from Glooble, because as I explained before, I'd voted there just because it was a good PoE wagon, not because I though there was a high chance of him being scum. If you're saying that not staying on the Glooble wagon was the thing you think was scummy, then sorry, I never was going to leave my deadline vote there unless a decent case against him sprung up, and it didn't.

I could have moved to EFHW, leaving her level with Joseph on 4. But I wasn't scumreading her, and that may have left three locked European votes on her, making it harder for the people still awake to get any other exile through. That could have been seen as very scummy if EFHW is town.

I could also have moved to you, but that would be silly, because at that point you were a townread. I think you're still a townread, though being accused of scummy behaviour for something that was town-motivated and perfectly sensible is a bit frustrating.

I could have moved to anyone other than Joseph, but that could have been really annoying for the rest of town because of removing consolidation potential just before deadline.

So I moved to Joseph. When am I usually not willing to vote for Joseph? It irked me that he was not owning up to his mistake or clearing up the ambiguity for everyone, even after I'd made a post at #353 giving him the benefit of the doubt around that. When I voted I made it clear it was a removing-the-benefit-of-the-doubt kind of thing.

Lastly, our IC himself made the switch only two posts later, with the only post in between being me clarifying which people were likely to have to lock their votes and leave around that point. I'm sorry if you're upset that your preferred wagon fizzled, I'm sorry that we ended up exiling town, and I'm really sorry if Glooble was the correct choice and my super-Joseph-case influenced Robz to the point that he made the same scummy switch that I did. But I promise you neither of us is scum!

I agree their vote was a turning point. I thought their Joseph comments before and after the switch were very apt, both addressing the theory put forth by Dylan.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 03, 2020, 08:01:15 pm
Who is, then?

If I knew that, I'd put forward some better cases.

Let's do some partial reasoning. If we assume that all EoD wagons were town, then I think the people to look most closely at are Dylan on-wagon, and then any of the remaining off-wagon people, though I feel like Chairs has been more uncharacteristic than the others two so far, so that's where I'd start.

My reason for Dylan is the wagon placement, and the fact that he was doing the clearest job of articulating the issue with Joseph's in-thread error. That could come from a place of thinking he'd caught scum, but equally it's a very role for scum to occupy if they can get themselves there. Same could be said of Eevee's position, but I already took a look at Eevee, having been a bit suspicious before, so I think he's okay for now. Also Glooble and EFHW being on-wagon is entirely unsurprising if they're alternate wagons and know themselves to be town (which they are in this all-wagons-on-town scenario).

My Chairs reasoning is the fact he's been a bit more talkative than I'm used to seeing, plus he was the one who joined the Glooble wagon after me, albeit after Robz had moved away. He also joined the Joseph wagon in 6th position the first time it grew to six votes, though moved away when it dropped down to five, ending the day off-wagon (on ADK). Oh, and reading back over Chairs, he was also the third person to quick-join the sudden Didds wagon that appeared really suddenly, so that's a little suspicious.

Now let's assume Glooble was scum. I don't think  my reasoning changes much. He's a reasonable possible partner for Dylan if the latter is scum, and doesn't sway the chairs thinking one way or another.

Finally, what if EFHW is scum? Her Joseph hammer was pretty far before deadline, so that could be because scum just wanted to lock in the mixile. OTOH, she was herself the second-biggest wagon at the time she hammered, so it's not unreasonable to go for that. If EFHW is scum, I think Chairs is marginally less likely to be, because Chairs moved off Joseph onto ADK, whom at that point only had EFHW voting for them, and it's an odd place to concentrate 2/3 of the scumteam's votes. I'm not sure about Dylan-EFHW as a pairing. Dylan did vote EFHW at one point early on, and the two of them were the last two to throw down any votes in D1 overall.

So yeah, if EFHW's scummy then I'm not sure what to think, and otherwise I think Chairs and Dylan deserve scrutiny. Oh, and an honourable mention for Didds, who is the only non-green-coloured name on the EFHW wagon from #361 all the way to EoD1. If EFHW is green too, then Didds could well be scum, though there's some wifom around the fact that scum chose to flip MiX over Robz, though there may have been other more direct factors steering their choice.

My instinct is that the people who followed dylan onto joseph are much more likely to be scum than he is, particularly since pretty much every one of those votes was justified by saying "Dylan's case seems solid". If he's scum he's bold scum, and I don't feel like I've played enough with him to tell if that's his style

I would believe you if it wasn't such a cut'n'dry error on Joseph's part. Also, Dylan would be more likely to pick up on this mistake more readily than almost all other players as either town!Dylan or scum!Dylan, because Dylan knew that they were the other person in the EFHW-Dylan-Joseph trio, rather than Glooble.

Also, this is waaay past the time I should be asleep and not playing mafia any more.. please don't expect me to be posting this late for other days in the game :-)

Post by: Dylan32 on October 04, 2020, 02:02:04 am
Checking in, and man I'm disappointed. I was already ready to start reading for partner interactions, but now I just have to reread everything...  The rest of this is stream of consciousness as I catch up on D2.

I'm not totally sure why scum killed MiX, but I'm glad I won't have the opportunity to start second guessing my read on him to the exclusion of other reads like the past.

Space #444 - I think towny Space here, definitely need to reread their D1 though.

ADK #451 - not a bad point here though, although I do think this is only scummy for Space if one of the other wagons was on scum.

VC 2.1 - This isn't based on reads, but reading through the names, Didds, Galz, and Eevee stick out, so I'm going to call that as the scum team. That's not based on any specific reads at all, and I probably shouldn't even say it, but if that's right I just want to have it in the record for the hindsight. I'll reread those three later to see if there's anything behind that instinct.

Space #453 - Paints a pretty good town!Space narrative. However, I've noticed a couple times D2 already, here ("That could have been seen as very scummy if EFHW is town.") and #445 ("... and I'll look bad if he flips as such :-P "), where they have talked about the optics of how they could come across as scummy in different scenarios, and this isn't something I remember Space being this aware of, or rather, it's not something I remember Space talking about explicitly at least. After all, I'm sure we all think about that as either alignment at times, but they don't normally use that in their arguments as far as I recall.

chairs #455 - I'm curious as to why faust here. Is it just poking with a stick so he'll do something, or is there some kind of read-based reason?

Who is, then?

--snip--


Same could be said of Eevee's position, but I already took a look at Eevee, having been a bit suspicious before, so I think he's okay for now.

--snip--


That sentence comes across as extremely scum!partnery to me rather than just "I'm leaning town on Eevee."

ADK #461 - Yeah, I'm definitely not a little wary about some of the people who joined me without any kind of questioning or explanation. Like there were a couple (don't remember who and not going back right now) that went back and forth on thinking if it was actually a scum case or town mistake, and I think those people are more likely to be the other town folks on that wagon with me.  Also, as much as I would love to say I don't think I would be that bold as scum, honestly it's probably NAI. I might be a little more hesitant in general to play like that as scum, but in this scenario, I probably would have latched onto that either way. Actually, now that I think about it, as scum, I probably would have softened as Joseph's wagon faded the first time in order to hop on a different misexile while keeping Joseph under scrutiny hoping for any other slight inconsistency to be able to push the misexile through on a later day. But I guess this means nothing but wifom.

Space #462 - Yeah, knowing that I was the other person is definitely why I caught that. I actually saw it after Joseph made the initial mistake, but at the time I just assumed he typed the wrong name (like I guess he really did), but then the justification just didn't make sense to me, and maybe I was totally misreading what he was saying. With hindsight, I wish a couple other people had defended Joseph a little less and let him speak for himself to possibly clear that up.

Didds #463 - Why were you originally thinking EFHW was the right way to go?

Post by: Glooble on October 04, 2020, 10:03:31 am
I'm halfway through a reread of Day 1 and I have to go to church now, but I wanted to get a thought down- Dylan's realization of Joseph's mistake and subsequent push for a Joseph exile came when Joseph already had a number of votes on him for a number of different reasons. One of these votes is from Robz. I hadn't realized this- for some reason I had it in my head that Dylan had started the Joseph wagon. To me, this strengthens the Dylan scum narrative a bit- Dylan might have seen Joseph's mistake while looking back at Joseph's post in search of a way to push that wagon, which would be safer with Robz already there.

That being said, I'm still townreading Dylan more than I'm scumreading him. The people I'm a little more suspicious of on this reread so far are EFHW and chairs. Chairs does a lot of lazily jumping on wagons without much explanation. EFHW is more of a gut feeling at this point.

We should definitely not exile space, since they seem townie and for them to be scum Glooble would be even more likely to be scum.

MiX is a weird kill to me. In my last scum game, my team tried to use the amount of attention and distraction he generates to our advantage. Obviously this scum team did not see similar value here.

re: Dylan's long post (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855056#msg855056), I agree with him on most of his points. I don't have a scumread on Galzria, though.

People who were excited by Dylan's scum!Joseph narrative: Dylan, Galzria, Eevee, Glooble, chairs.
People who were not: EFHW, Didds, faust, Space, ADK, Robz, MiX (?).

I think it's reasonable to assume there is at least one scum in {Galz, Eevee, Glooble, chairs}.

Some bits I find weird:

(or EFHW I guess, that wagon was also kind of viable at the time)

This. There's two possible partners for space to be deflecting from
So if Space was scum partnered with EFHW (let's assume that Glooble is town) then does it make sense for Space to switch votes from Glooble to Joseph when they did? I am not convinced. All that achieves is create a situation where instead of 2 town wagons vs 1 scum wagon you have 1 town wagons vs 1 scum wagon. And let's not forget that Space was on the IC-approved wagon at the time.

Basically, I don't think your narrative for scum!Space makes much sense. Unless Glooble is scum. But since it only holds any water if Glooble is scum, you should be going after Glooble.

My instinct is that the people who followed dylan onto joseph are much more likely to be scum than he is, particularly since pretty much every one of those votes was justified by saying "Dylan's case seems solid". If he's scum he's bold scum, and I don't feel like I've played enough with him to tell if that's his style
Feels to me like Dylan giving a solid case on town frees up scum to do pretty much whatever. They don't really need to push Joseph if there is enough of a case there to convince town to do the dirty work for them. I don't see why jumping on that wagon would be a scum move.

I think what scum did depends heavily on the alignment of the competing wagons. If all wagons were town, then likely scum would rather have pushed elsewhere. Otherwise it's trickier.

This is a really good point I think.



Space seems more than usually preoccupied with how she's coming off as, and maybe kind of overexplaining herself? The points she's making make logical sense to me though, but she's so eloquent that maybe I shouldn't read too much into it.

ADK continues to look towny to me, also think Glooble is probably town from yesterday. I think Dylan is towny for pushing Joseph, paradoxically enough. faust I don't have much of an impression on yet which is weird, same for Galzria which I'd say makes both more than mildly suspicious.

I would guess that scum killed Mix because he's headstrong and his reads were good, at least in some capacity? Could also be a sign for Robz that his reads yesterday were not correct.

Didds #463 - Why were you originally thinking EFHW was the right way to go?

Most of it is feels, but I found her extended discussion with MiX on D1 was a lot of material with very little content.  My thought was one of them was scummy based on that, and her more so than him.  Her general level of activity is rather higher than normal, but these are strange times...my level is lower than normal b/c of work so that isn't a huge factor. Finally, the way she joined the quick wagon on me, then unvoted when she realized I hadn't voted for Joseph but then snarked at me for being distracted was all kind of off feeling.  The reason I went back to voting for her was the hammer long before deadline when she had said that she thought him town. Not super scummy, but not redeeming either. Added to the fact that she was Mixy's top scum read, its seems a better place to be than anywhere else at the moment. I am not so certain about my feelings that I am gonna get on my pony and ride around arguing my case, but I don't see any reason to move my vote.

MiX is a weird kill to me. In my last scum game, my team tried to use the amount of attention and distraction he generates to our advantage. Obviously this scum team did not see similar value here.

Yeah, we left MiX alive and misfiring to great effect there, but the fact remains he's a high-volume poster, so if the scumteam thought he was too townie, they may have wanted him out of the way in the hope of stalling the game more or something. I also agree with EFHW that you being alive points to the possibility of a doctor, unless it's some kind of scum gambit, but I'm not sure what advantage they'd think they're getting if leaving you deliberately alive as IC and risking a kill that could have been on a VT seemed worthwhile.

re: Dylan's long post (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855056#msg855056), I agree with him on most of his points. I don't have a scumread on Galzria, though.

People who were excited by Dylan's scum!Joseph narrative: Dylan, Galzria, Eevee, Glooble, chairs.
People who were not: EFHW, Didds, faust, Space, ADK, Robz, MiX (?).

I think it's reasonable to assume there is at least one scum in {Galz, Eevee, Glooble, chairs}.

Not quite sure what you mean by "excited" in this context, but I did say to Joseph at #353 that I thought Dylan's criticism was spot on.

I think I'm about 88% sure there's at least one scum in that set of four.. but that's because with two players flipped, an IC, and knowing my own alignment, there are essentially 3 scum in 9 unknown players. Picking any four out of them has only about a 12% chance of not having at least one scum in the group, without taking any reads or behaviour into account.

This is not news ::) I always gutfeel my way through games, and I'm usually only really thinking about the last page or two of posts, tops, unless I have -just- read X pages (and even then, I find I just tie myself in knots if I don't just let everything flow like waves against the shore and see what treasure gets stuck in the sand).

Vote: Glooble

What's your reasoning?
Robz voted for Glooble here:

Vote: Glooble is fine by me, actually. Definitely better than Joseph.
and noone joined in. This is despite Joseph already having claimed VT (meaning scum would prefer another exile). So there's only 2 options: Either the Glooble wagon already had 1-2 scum on it. The wagon at the time was:

Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz888

So that would put scum among Space/ADK. But Space abandons the wagon shortly after, which there is no good reason for. So my preliminary conclusion is: There is scum among ADK/Glooble, and right now I'm liking Glooble more for that.

Your communication is perhaps a bit sloppy, but I think the logic holds.

At first, you mean that from your point of view, there's at least one scum in {Glooble, Space, ADK}.

You say there's not good reason for me to abandon the Glooble wagon, though previously you'd agreed with ADK that it would make perfect sense for scum!me to leave a wagon on scum!Glooble. So I think what you mean here is that the only good reason for my move would be if Glooble were scum anyway, hence it being better overall for you to flip Glooble.

Given that, I agree that you can narrow it to at least one scum amongst {ADK, Glooble}, if you assume a four-towns-on-town wagon in this context (e.g. with the presence of the IC giving scum extra permission/courage to vote) is highly unlikely. That wagon configuration you quote persisted from #385, when Robz moved onto Glooble, till #423, when I switched to Joseph. I think everyone except EFHW made at least one post in that interval, so maybe that assumption is actually stronger than for most four-towns-on-town wagons.

Looking more at the #385-#423 period, the only vote to happen in there was that Chairs moved from Joseph to ADK at #404. That seems to make a Chairs-Glooble scum partnership unlikely, since it reduces the main competing wagon, making the Glooble-wagon joint-largest.

If Chairs is scum, that would put more suspicion on ADK and (from my point of view) faust, and make Glooble more townie. I think that's worth considering, since I feel like Chairs is playing a kind of different game to normal. Can other people who've played more with Chairs recently reassure me that he's not seeming odd?

I would be hard pressed to describe chairs’ play with any sort of consistency. He is always odd to me. One thing that I’d say is different in this game is that he is a bit more present than he has been in the past. Obviously there are lots of reasons why that could be that case, but the result is that he has more interactions than normal.

So, if you are finding something off, you’re probably not wrong.

Catching up now.

My instinct is that the people who followed dylan onto joseph are much more likely to be scum than he is, particularly since pretty much every one of those votes was justified by saying "Dylan's case seems solid". If he's scum he's bold scum, and I don't feel like I've played enough with him to tell if that's his style

This is a really good point I think.



Space seems more than usually preoccupied with how she's coming off as, and maybe kind of overexplaining herself? The points she's making make logical sense to me though, but she's so eloquent that maybe I shouldn't read too much into it.

ADK continues to look towny to me, also think Glooble is probably town from yesterday. I think Dylan is towny for pushing Joseph, paradoxically enough. faust I don't have much of an impression on yet which is weird, same for Galzria which I'd say makes both more than mildly suspicious.

I would guess that scum killed Mix because he's headstrong and his reads were good, at least in some capacity? Could also be a sign for Robz that his reads yesterday were not correct.

Parts of this post feel off to me.  The first half of the Space bit is a rehash of an observation I made previously.  The next couple sentences seem to be gently nudging away from where some of the focus has been (particularly regarding the number of people scumreading or willing to exile Glooble).  But the next sentence is phrased in such a way to sound like both faust and galz are null ("don't have much of an impression on yet... same for Galz"), but this makes both "more than mildly suspicious." At first read, I was left with the impression of mild suspicion, but the "more than" bit actually suggests that the null read on those two actually makes them both very suspicious.  I don't know, just something about that paragraph feels contrived or forced somehow that reads as not a genuine set of reads.

Didds #463 - Why were you originally thinking EFHW was the right way to go?

Most of it is feels, but I found her extended discussion with MiX on D1 was a lot of material with very little content.  My thought was one of them was scummy based on that, and her more so than him.  Her general level of activity is rather higher than normal, but these are strange times...my level is lower than normal b/c of work so that isn't a huge factor. Finally, the way she joined the quick wagon on me, then unvoted when she realized I hadn't voted for Joseph but then snarked at me for being distracted was all kind of off feeling.  The reason I went back to voting for her was the hammer long before deadline when she had said that she thought him town. Not super scummy, but not redeeming either. Added to the fact that she was Mixy's top scum read, its seems a better place to be than anywhere else at the moment. I am not so certain about my feelings that I am gonna get on my pony and ride around arguing my case, but I don't see any reason to move my vote.

I'd buy that.

re: Dylan's long post (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855056#msg855056), I agree with him on most of his points. I don't have a scumread on Galzria, though.

People who were excited by Dylan's scum!Joseph narrative: Dylan, Galzria, Eevee, Glooble, chairs.
People who were not: EFHW, Didds, faust, Space, ADK, Robz, MiX (?).

I think it's reasonable to assume there is at least one scum in {Galz, Eevee, Glooble, chairs}.

Not quite sure what you mean by "excited" in this context, but I did say to Joseph at #353 that I thought Dylan's criticism was spot on.

I think I'm about 88% sure there's at least one scum in that set of four.. but that's because with two players flipped, an IC, and knowing my own alignment, there are essentially 3 scum in 9 unknown players. Picking any four out of them has only about a 12% chance of not having at least one scum in the group, without taking any reads or behaviour into account.

Could be misremembering old games, but random math Space is town!Space iirc.

vote: Eevee. He's been voting opportunistically, not scumhunting.

I noticed that too. I don't know that it's the best case today though.

Someone please explain faust's case on me I legit don't get it.
Space already explained it.

I mean, the way I understand it in case Space's explanation didn't is that after Joseph claimed VT, scum would prefer to push through a different exile. The IC stated a preference for glooble over Joseph, and so it would have been easy for scum to follow there instead. Nobody followed though, which means one of the following is likely true: A) glooble is town and 1-2 scum were already on wagon or B) glooble is scum so scum didn't move there (note: scum could have also been bussing scum!glooble already, in which case A and B are not mutually exclusive, although that's probably not the most likely case).

As far as wagon analysis based arguments go, that one seems actually fairly strong to me, so

Vote: glooble

Looking at current wagon comps, I do feel better about {chairs, faust, IC} versus {ADK, glooble, Eevee} or {EFHW, WCD}.

re: scum!Glooble narrative,  scum could have been caught on Joseph's wagon. Having said how great that case was, shifting to town!Glooble would have looked weird. Also, sleeping the IC looks scummy.

I can't follow this argument at all, so I can't defend against it. Faust says "Either the Glooble wagon already had 1-2 scum on it." but doesn't say what the "or" is. I assume it's "or Glooble is scum". Why? There's a logical leap you're asking us to make here and I'm not seeing it. You think scum would jump to me after Joseph claimed VT to increase their chances of hitting a power role? Why? Who does that? Hitting a power role day 1 is nice, but the primary goal of scum day one is to avoid suspicion. Their decision about whether to jump to me or stay on Joseph is going to be based on that. Joseph claiming VT doesn't factor into it. It would be way safer for scum to be on Joseph- that wagon was also Robz-approved, and Dylan's argument gives solid cover.

Post by: Eevee on October 07, 2020, 09:48:58 am
Okay, so went back to reread Glooble. The gist of my townread was that he was more aggressive fingering players for scum than I'd expect scum to be. Basically putting himself out there against Mix (known active and headstrong player who isn't going to back down, not an easy exile),then ADK who at least I was townreading, and finally putting Joseph to early X-1. Not positions scum wants to put themselves in in my opinion. I did think Glooble was a bigger part in putting the Joseph case together, remembered that wrong, but the X-1 vote is a towny thing to do in my opinion, even if it was wrong here, just because scum would know it's wrong and wouldn't want the attention.

Today I think the push on chairs makes sense, as my sheep would indicate. Basically I think Glooble appears to be scumhunting hard without much worry about optics, which is a town trait imo. If this is a scum game, it's a brazen and masterful one.

Man does rereading a specific player give clarity compared to just reading the thread from phone as the posts trickle in and trying to piece together reads that way. I don't anymore think Glooble has been scummy today, and not sure why I did earlier (Robz voting for him probably influenced me some). I'll reread chairs next to see if I agree with my sheep.

Post by: Eevee on October 07, 2020, 09:55:23 am
Interesting point, chairs references Glooble WAY more than anyone else in the game. First townreading, then voting, but like one third of his posts have something about Glooble. Not sure what to make of that, but it really stuck out.

Other than that, not the most fruitful reread, players like chairs are tough for me to figure out. Like, he's self-proclaimedly going by feel and a little erratic, which I don't think is a bad way to actually find scum, especially early, but it's also so convenient for scum to hide behind.

@Glooble responding to earlier point:
I meant to say that it's scummy from faust and Galzria (especially Galzria!) to have been such a small factor this far, being how much they usually influence the game. It's not even about the activity level, just that they aren't really a big part of discussion in any way, although (my feel without rereading is) that faust has been coming to the center more. It's kind of a scum read borne from lack of towny evidence, if you will. For guys with their reputation, laying low early makes a lot of sense as scum, because it's tough to be the at the center of the attention for days on end and avoid the exile every time.

Re: scumreading MiX - actually perfect for scum, it's good to be pushing some wagon that won't succeed, you look like you're doing something but won't be caught up in a misexile. I also don't think that having pushed two confirmed townies is particularly good evidence for Glooble being town, as scumhunting hard for that matter.

Doesn't change the fact that both of the wagons were on people the IC had voted for at one point or another. The question of whether a given scum player would switch from Joseph to me is entirely dependent on that player's style, priorities, and the optics of switching based on their own previous statements.

So we have the (1) "no one got on Glooble because he is scum" theory and the (2) "scum jumped on Joseph's wagon because the case gave them cover" theory.

(1) supports (2), because if scum aren't on Glooble, where are they? (2) does not support (1). If scum were on the Joseph wagon, they wouldn't have left it for town!Glooble's wagon.

So I think theory (2) is the better bet.

Oh wait, I think I got it, it's like if (1) then (2), but not (if (2) then (1)), so (2) is more likely than (1). Well eh. You seem to imply that (2) is true if any scum were on Joseph, which sure I guess that version is likely true, but it's not particularly helpful.

I'd love to hear some thoughts from Glooble on his D1 wagon.

Well, I've talked about ADK a lot. Robz is town. MiX was town. So that leave you, chairs and Space (taht's everyone who voted for me at all, I think.) See above for chairs- he goes back and forth between me and ADK in a way that I think it honestly pretty scummy. Space's initial vote for me reads like a joke vote. The weirdest thing is that they defend it like it was more serious than it initially appeared. Your vote doesn't come with a lot of explanation, I assume you just thought I was a better wagon than Joseph. But my wagon never had much substance to it.

Most likely scum is chairs I think. I'm still wary of ADK but my scumread on them has cooled somewhat, I think it was a little too emotionally motivated.

vote: chairs

PPE: faust voting for me
Here it seems like you are choosing a person on your wagon to vote for. Is that a correct reading and if so - why?

Post by: EFHW on October 07, 2020, 11:34:08 am
Most probable: One scum on Joseph, one on Glooble, one elsewhere.

I think faust's theory is unfortunately flawed. Robz voting town!Glooble wouldn't be enough to draw scum off the Joseph wagon. And there was no real case on Glooble. There's much more cover for voting Joseph. As for wanting a non-VT exile, I rarely feel as scum that I have the luxury of that kind of choice. One point in favor of faust's theory is that there was daychat and scum could have coordinated to choose town!Glooble over town!Joseph. But I think that would be too obvious once Glooble flipped town, so they wouldn't have done that.

It's not a correct reading. I've been scumreading chairs all game. The fact that he was on my wagon is a coincidence. It has nothing to do with my reasons for voting him.

Post by: EFHW on October 07, 2020, 01:55:41 pm
At the time that Robz voted (at 416) for Glooble, both Didds (at 404) and chairs (at 405) had expressed townreads on Glooble. So they would be unlikely to join Robz. chairs did vote Glooble at 263. Not sure what changed. Both had also indicated willingness to vote Joseph. chairs voted him at 340 and switched to ADK at 405, in support of Glooble's case against them.

I meant to say that it's scummy from faust and Galzria (especially Galzria!) to have been such a small factor this far, being how much they usually influence the game. It's not even about the activity level, just that they aren't really a big part of discussion in any way, although (my feel without rereading is) that faust has been coming to the center more. It's kind of a scum read borne from lack of towny evidence, if you will. For guys with their reputation, laying low early makes a lot of sense as scum, because it's tough to be the at the center of the attention for days on end and avoid the exile every time.

Sorry I've been a bit absent today! I'm super wiped out at the moment, but I'm here and reading.

I think faust's logic that either Glooble or someone on his four-person wagon near the end of D1 being scum is pretty solid, and I don't think Glooble is doing a very good job of defending against it or justifying his disagreement with comparable logic.

@faust, your actual assertion was that either Glooble is scum, or he's town with scum already voting there. Obviously you and I can be suspicious of each other for this. Is it time to consider ADK again? I had a residual townread from D1, but I notice you posted at #480 (i.e. well into D2) that you didn't like some of the stuff they were posting. Now you're pressuring Glooble a fair amount, but not ADK. Why the asymmetry there?

I also think Chairs is still looking a bit scummy, especially with that jump onto Galz the minute our IC mentions Galz's absence.

You're willfully misunderstanding me. A case can look good if you just read it and then fall apart if you actually look at the context. Which is exactly what your case does. It's a good scum play if you're a player with a reputation for making good wagon-based cases, like faust is, because you can bank on people trusting you and being too lazy to check your work.

I keep trying to summarize faust's case and faust keeps saying I'm strawmanning. So, one of three things is happening here:

1. I'm just not smart anough to understand what faust is saying
2. what faust is saying doesn't actually make sense
3. I'm scum trying to manipulate you

I'm back to scumreading glooble. On a reread most of his content is either defending himself or saying that the people voting for him are scum.

You keep moving the goalposts, faust! Every time I think I understand your argument, I try to summarize it and you tell me I'm strawmanning.  Here is what I am saying: There are lots of reasons Joseph's wagon would have been more appealing to scum than my wagon. First, there's the fact that Dylan had an actual case on him, and a pretty darn solid one for day 1. Second, there's the fact that at least two players had recently expressed townreads on me, so if either of those players were scum, they probably wouldn't have wanted to move, because it would have looked suspicious. Finally, there's the simple fact that just following the IC from one wagon to another looks suspicious, especially if you've been a relatively inactive player so far. All of those are reasons your theory sucks and I haven't seen you actually address any of them.

This all seems to be based on a theory that all the scum were on either Joseph or you, which is not true. There are a number of players who could have moved from not!Joseph to you, and I highly doubt that all the scums were on Joseph. So if your whole reasoning is that scum wouldn't move from Joseph to you, then that doesn't really matter that much. I would also debate that supporting a wagon with a "solid case" is all that good for scum; the quality of the case doesn't matter all that much once a player flips town.

Who would have moved? chairs and Didds were positioned as townreading Glooble. I had voted ADK, which also indicates opposition to the Glooble wagon. MiX and Joseph were town.
Didds was positioned against both wagons and could have easily jumped one for consolidation. I don't see how voting for ADK indicates opposition to a Glooble exile. chairs yeah came out but he was voting Glooble before that, so it's not like he's worried about changing his mind.

@faust, how common is it for you to make this type of "one scum in x" argument based on a wagon? I know it's a very Space thing to do, and I recall a particular game a few years back where scum!you and scum!Haddock basically succeeded in turning town against an even stronger version of the same argument that I was making to say that at least one of you was scum because otherwise there was a five-towns-on-town wagon.

I guess it's useless to prod Galz, if we're assuming he's run off with the mod?

I think I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts on the faust-Glooble interaction here.

@faust, your actual assertion was that either Glooble is scum, or he's town with scum already voting there. Obviously you and I can be suspicious of each other for this. Is it time to consider ADK again? I had a residual townread from D1, but I notice you posted at #480 (i.e. well into D2) that you didn't like some of the stuff they were posting. Now you're pressuring Glooble a fair amount, but not ADK. Why the asymmetry there?

I don't think there was a response to this, was there?

I think faust is only really justified in pushing Glooble so hard if he's convinced that ADK is town, and I want to hear more about that.

I wouldn't generally make that sort of statement were it not for the facts that (1) the alternate misexile wagon was a VT and (2) the IC put his support behind the wagon. I think both things would scum more eager to join, so it would be particularly notable if they didn't.

It's not like i townread ADK hard or anything. Initially I mainly pushed Glooble because he wasn't doing as much. I think his reaction to that does not come from a towny place, and this is what made me stick to the wagon. ADK could still be scum though.

So could we be seeing some confirmation bias here? Your original case pointed to at least one scum in {Glooble, ADK, me}, but the wagon configuration itself didn't really give you strong evidence which was which. You had a hunch that ADK was less scummy than Glooble, so you went after Glooble pretty hard. Now you're saying the main reason you suspect Glooble is that you dislike his reaction to your pressure, and the wagon evidence that would also implicate ADK is merely secondary. Is that correct?

Just in case it's not clear for everyone else reading along, we'd also expect the wagon behaviour to be quite similar if scum!ADK had been voting town!Glooble, in terms of other scum being reluctant to move there when other options exist. Or, I should point out, scum!faust instead of scum!ADK from my perspective, or even scum!me from everyone else's perspective.

For reference:
re: Dylan's long post (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855056#msg855056), I agree with him on most of his points. I don't have a scumread on Galzria, though.

People who were excited by Dylan's scum!Joseph narrative: Dylan, Galzria, Eevee, Glooble, chairs.
People who were not: EFHW, Didds, faust, Space, ADK, Robz, MiX (?).

I think it's reasonable to assume there is at least one scum in {Galz, Eevee, Glooble, chairs}.

PPE: Space

Not really. First of all, I always excluded you from the "pushing for Glooble" folks as you switched to Joseph at a crucial time and that doesn't make sense if you are scum and Glooble town. So it was always {Glooble, ADK}. Second, the reaction to pressure is not my main reason to suspect Glooble. The wagon on Glooble during D1 is. His reaction to the pressure is just the reason I push him over ADK.

Fwiw Galz is also holding up our codenames - games.

I’m really sorry for being so low energy today. The glooble - faust argument is a bit hard to follow for me. I still think Glooble seems like frustrated town, but i don’t think faust looks scummy for pushing his argument. Feels to me that both really believe in what they are saying. I absolutely don’t see that as scum v scum, so if one were to flip scum I think the other is almost surely town.

Admittedly I didn’t research dylan’s case against joseph too heavily - i find it hard to find scum day1, i felt like joseph was contradicting himself in a way where he tried to explain his reads disingenuously, also i didn’t find his defense believable after the fact. I like to think i have a good radar for discouraged and frustrated town (it’s pinging now for glooble), and joseph really felt very much like caught scum to me.

Today I think most of the noise in the thread is coming from town, just feels like we aren’t going anywhere and scum is happy to hang back and hope glooble is lynched. I would look at chairs, galzria, maybe SA or Didds. And yes, I know I haven’t been looking hard enough myself, it’s not good gameplay from me.

I’m going to be away from keyboard until 6-7 hours from now, but should make it to the deadline if it’s when i think it is.

You and faust aren't, certainly. I dislike being locked into a hammer, even though it probably doesn't work out too badly for me. Either he flips scum, which is great for town, or he flips town, which negates ADK's scum!Space case pretty well and gives even stronger PoE on that D1 wagon.

The Chairs re-read pulled up a lot of fluff, sheeping and "gut read" stuff that's impossible to argue against and doesn't really put forward anything to catch scum out out on, so I'm not a fan.

It's certainly not enjoyable to have people throwing scum cases at me. Thus an upside of being forced into a hammer (which is itself not a comfortable feeling since I'm second-guessing every case I can see) is that either a good thing happens, or an okay thing happens. Maybe I'm just stating that it's contradictory to feel hesitant, but I am anyway.

Eevee was showing up as being on the forum in the past 10-15 minutes, but he hasn't said anything in this thread, and he was probably the most likely person to swing things back towards Chairs, given that he was voting Chairs not that long ago. So this is my intent to hammer Glooble in ~5 minutes.

Adorable mutts getting whacked left and right! Ugh!

Alright people....eevee is spot on. We’ve got to get this right.

Here is the final vote count...I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list.


Glooble (6): faust, Robz888, ADK, chairs, Eevee, Space
chairs (2): Glooble, WCD
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting (2): Dylan, Galz

I think Eevee has to be scum here.

1. opportunistic voting
2. amazingly towny posts (528  (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855229#msg855229)and 529) directly after I voted him (513), but not before or since.
3. Fake dismay about nk.
4. Suddenly giving advice to town, mostly the standard Day 3 things people say.
5. If I squint and look for the players who have not received attention, have not done much, yet have been around, Eevee pops out.
6. He was on the Joseph wagon.

Robz being alive D3 as an IC is interesting. We know he's mostly been voting for townies, because he was on both Glooble and Joseph D1, and Glooble was his only vote D2. The only other person he voted on D1 was Didds.

Perhaps scum are just keeping him around because his reads are off. Though it's also worth considering whether scum might also like to keep him around to fool us into thinking we have a doctor when it may not be true. So if they're finding his reads are bad, it might be easier for them to justify that kind of a gambit, since it gives them a free safe-claim that we have "evidence" exists in the game.

Of course, I may also be casting doubt on a townie role that actually exists, if scum aren't being that sneaky here.. I just figure it's worth throwing that out there as a scenario before anyone moves to claims. This thought is mostly brought to you by the fun Robz and I and our scum buddy had in the last game I was in, which was also a case of doing something that seemed like it wouldn't be good for scum, but getting a better payoff just because it wasn't what town expected.

Good thing is, we've reached the fun stage in any mafia game! No scum deaths, but there should definitely be things to be gleaned from rereads now. Pinky swear I'll be reading through the key people tomorrow or the day after. One pretty important thing in this situation for townies is we must be pretty stubborn in our reads, so many scum out there sheeping is no good here. Also as important as finding scum is identifying town, people you'd be comfortable voting with. My feeling right is that person is ADK and as I said, mostly feeling scum from chairs, but rereads will hopefully provide more clarity on both fronts.

What do we know of the scum roles in the game?

It's a weird mix of non-specific references to his previous play and to the posts he made immediately prior; to me it doesn't read like you had just read some or all of Eevee's posts and found them scummy, but were looking for something to say about another player

1- how do you define opportunistic voting? Where has Eevee done that?

Post by: faust on October 13, 2020, 04:23:35 am
I keep coming back to this vote count (colors mine):

Joseph (4): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble
Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz888
EFHW (3): Joseph, MiX, WCD
ADK (2): EFHW, chairs

A couple of interesting observations here:
- the only people off both town wagons are Didds, EFHW, chairs. That set is likely to contain scum.
- Space switches from town!Glooble to known!VT!Joseph soon after. I really don't think that's what scum wants to be doing there. So Space can be town.
- this means that (from my perspective) the only potential scum on the Gooble wagon as ADK.
- we have Galzria and Eevee on the Joseph wagon; I don't think they are both scum. Both were lurky and just went along with the Dylan case, that would make them potential lurker exiles going forward.
- so, where is scum? We have EFHW and chairs on ADK. Suppose EFHW/chairs are a team. I don't see both of them pushing a non-wagon when the EFHW wagon poses a threat right there. At least one of them would join a counterwagon.
- then there is Didds on the EFHW wagon. Same position as ADK on Glooble; only nonconfirmed person on that wagon.

What do we have? {Galz/Eevee} has at most 1 scum, {EFHW/chairs} has at most one scum, Space is town, by PoE there is at least 1 scum in {ADK/Didds}. I'm favoring ADK at the moment as we know that the wagon he was on was on town, whereas EFHW could still be scum.

Post by: faust on October 13, 2020, 07:08:52 am
Notes about ADK.

Early on goes after MiX and Glooble.
There is the bit where 3 people in a row (EFHW, Dylan, Joseph) townread them and then ADK goes "exactly one scum there!" Two of those have since flipped town. I think if ADK is scum, then this implicates EFHW.
Defends Galzria for a bit.
Kind of hedgy on Joseph but their vote remains on Glooble.
D2 starts out with a bad case on Space. ADK pushes this for a bit and then changes to chairs. Okay, that's somewhat towny, scum likes to stick to the cases they made.
They seem to keep townreading me. I'm not sure what to make of that.
There is a whole weird flip-flop on Glooble, going from scumread to townread and back in a small amount of time.
There is a strange amount of defending people on D3. We have a whole bunch of scum but ADK is apparently townreading me, Eevee, chairs. It's kind of towny I suppose.

I'm still comfortable with the vote but at some point want to check Diddsy.
Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 2 Has Begun!
Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 13, 2020, 07:39:51 am
Okay, so that's pretty interesting, and shows who's paying attention to what cases to some extent.

I asked about faust and ADK because it's central to the case faust was pushing on Glooble in D2, and in fact faust has now re-posted exactly the key wagon he used for his Glooble case, but with Glooble now coloured green.

The people who reacted to my question are:

1. Eevee at #688, asking why that pair in particular. He was on the Glooble exile wagon, but apparently "Welp I think it's time to vote glooble" was his only justification there (post #633).

2. ADK, who asserts their towniness, but also doesn't scumread faust. ADK was already pushing Glooble, but it's interesting they didn't seem to pay attention to the reason why faust was pushing so much on the evidence that (as I was trying to point out yesterday!) was really saying "one scum in {Glooble, ADK, faust}, rather than specifically pointing at Glooble.

Special note for Didds, who completely avoided engaging with my question, but did state me as a scumread with no justification.

3. EFHW, who asks "Based on what?" at #695. At least in EFHW's case, she was just ignoring the Glooble wagon and voting Eevee D2.

Hi! hi! hi! hi!

I feel like I am finally starting to climb out from under the mountain of work that I was under. I hate it that we got so far behind during that time. I guess the one upshot is that it makes some of the POE easier.
What do we have? {Galz/Eevee} has at most 1 scum, {EFHW/chairs} has at most one scum, Space is town, by PoE there is at least 1 scum in {ADK/Didds}. I'm favoring ADK at the moment as we know that the wagon he was on was on town, whereas EFHW could still be scum.

I really appreciate this kind of thinking. It helps me see. Thank you, faust. 
I spent most of D1 voting for EFHW.  I am still not convinced that she is town, but if she is scum she is the one who got to stay off the town wagons without looking stubborn. Daychat ftw.

I spent most of D2 voting for eevee and he is still my most enduring scumread (even though I love you, boo). I honestly can't see a scum Galz so thoroughly abandoning his team and not voting at all D2. So, if there is scum in that 2, eevee is the way to go.

I am not as certain that Space is town, but I am willing to put that on the back burner for the time being. They were instrumental in both the Joseph and Glooble exile, but then again they were visibly instrumental.

Swowl will you please prod: Galzy again? It's been almost 36 hours since he said he would be more present....so in the interest of holding him to that, give him an ear flick from us.

Okay, so that's pretty interesting, and shows who's paying attention to what cases to some extent.

I asked about faust and ADK because it's central to the case faust was pushing on Glooble in D2, and in fact faust has now re-posted exactly the key wagon he used for his Glooble case, but with Glooble now coloured green.

The people who reacted to my question are:

1. Eevee at #688, asking why that pair in particular. He was on the Glooble exile wagon, but apparently "Welp I think it's time to vote glooble" was his only justification there (post #633).

2. ADK, who asserts their towniness, but also doesn't scumread faust. ADK was already pushing Glooble, but it's interesting they didn't seem to pay attention to the reason why faust was pushing so much on the evidence that (as I was trying to point out yesterday!) was really saying "one scum in {Glooble, ADK, faust}, rather than specifically pointing at Glooble.

Special note for Didds, who completely avoided engaging with my question, but did state me as a scumread with no justification.

3. EFHW, who asks "Based on what?" at #695. At least in EFHW's case, she was just ignoring the Glooble wagon and voting Eevee D2.

I think ADK comes off the scummiest of these, though I'm willing to go back and consider Eevee again by now too.
Sorry, Space!  I wasn't trying to not engage with your question, I just wasn't in the head space to think about it at the moment.  I wanted to see what ADK thought about eevee and you, so providing justification seemed counterproductive.

The thread seemed dead, it was like two hours before the deadline and I couldn't get back on before it (actually turns out I did, but I didn't know). I had a townread on Glooble all day yesterday, including when I voted, but I figured that Robz knows all that I do, and if he supports the exile it has to be better than noexiling. I think noexiling is pretty much always bad for town, so I did what I felt I needed to.

I appreciate faust laying his logic so clearly, even if I think there are some leaps there that I wouldn't be comfortable making. In general I'm always pretty wary of "x people were on wagon and x were off so there must be this many scum here and this many scum there" - I just don't think it's ever so clear (like, if that held true couldn't scum just do something else and completely bamboozle us?). I appreciate the effort, and I'm willing to concede you can maybe assign a slightly higher probability for different compositions (like all scum being on or off is probably less likely than them being split), but in no way would I be comfortable asserting "based on these two wagons, there must be exactly one scum between these two people. (sorry that was probably confusing)

Also love you too didds, never taking it personal if someone mistakenly thinks i'm scum, not if it's a wrong!townie or if is a lying!scum. The game is the game!)

Does anyone think it's at all likely that neither faust nor ADK is scum here?
This feels like a pretty scummy post, like Space is gauging what we think so they'd know the optimal plan of attack. Especially because from a townie's perspective literally any pair is likely to have scum in this situation.

In general I think the people who have expressed their stances strongly are townier here, scum wants to maintain maximum flexibility because it's not at all clear who we are exiling and they are fine with literally any but 3 options and want to be able to potentially contribute to them later. I guess by that logic strong scumreads aren't towny, but strong townreads are. So yet more townpoints for ADK!

Post by: Robz888 on October 13, 2020, 01:50:20 pm
I keep coming back to this vote count (colors mine):

Joseph (4): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble
Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz888
EFHW (3): Joseph, MiX, WCD
ADK (2): EFHW, chairs

A couple of interesting observations here:
- the only people off both town wagons are Didds, EFHW, chairs. That set is likely to contain scum.
- Space switches from town!Glooble to known!VT!Joseph soon after. I really don't think that's what scum wants to be doing there. So Space can be town.
- this means that (from my perspective) the only potential scum on the Gooble wagon as ADK.
- we have Galzria and Eevee on the Joseph wagon; I don't think they are both scum. Both were lurky and just went along with the Dylan case, that would make them potential lurker exiles going forward.
- so, where is scum? We have EFHW and chairs on ADK. Suppose EFHW/chairs are a team. I don't see both of them pushing a non-wagon when the EFHW wagon poses a threat right there. At least one of them would join a counterwagon.
- then there is Didds on the EFHW wagon. Same position as ADK on Glooble; only nonconfirmed person on that wagon.

What do we have? {Galz/Eevee} has at most 1 scum, {EFHW/chairs} has at most one scum, Space is town, by PoE there is at least 1 scum in {ADK/Didds}. I'm favoring ADK at the moment as we know that the wagon he was on was on town, whereas EFHW could still be scum.

From this analysis I would most suspect ADK, chairs, Didds

ADK, here is where I articulated the eevee scumread yesterday. Not as clear as I remembered it in my mind, but still clear.


Hi! hi! hi! hi!

I feel like I am finally starting to climb out from under the mountain of work that I was under. I hate it that we got so far behind during that time. I guess the one upshot is that it makes some of the POE easier.
What do we have? {Galz/Eevee} has at most 1 scum, {EFHW/chairs} has at most one scum, Space is town, by PoE there is at least 1 scum in {ADK/Didds}. I'm favoring ADK at the moment as we know that the wagon he was on was on town, whereas EFHW could still be scum.

I really appreciate this kind of thinking. It helps me see. Thank you, faust. 
I spent most of D1 voting for EFHW.  I am still not convinced that she is town, but if she is scum she is the one who got to stay off the town wagons without looking stubborn. Daychat ftw.

I spent most of D2 voting for eevee and he is still my most enduring scumread (even though I love you, boo). I honestly can't see a scum Galz so thoroughly abandoning his team and not voting at all D2. So, if there is scum in that 2, eevee is the way to go.

I am not as certain that Space is town, but I am willing to put that on the back burner for the time being. They were instrumental in both the Joseph and Glooble exile, but then again they were visibly instrumental.

Swowl will you please prod: Galzy again? It's been almost 36 hours since he said he would be more present....so in the interest of holding him to that, give him an ear flick from us.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 16, 2020, 06:49:52 am
I think ADK highly likely to be scum here, for a few reasons:

We've already gone over the Glooble wagon evidence from D1, and  I think faust's logic with respect to me and my voting behaviour doesn't feel like it's coming from place of scumminess.

There's also some other PoE info now. Eevee joined the Chairs wagon in 3rd place in D2, making it the leading wagon at #511, and I think that would have been risky had Chairs been scum too, but makes sense if ADK is. Plus, Chairs started the Eevee wagon on D3, and stuck to it throughout. While it could be a scum bus, at that point they didn't know that EFHW had solid evidence, so they wouldn't necessarily have been expecting to have to sacrifice Eevee.

Back on that D2 wagon, Glooble left the Chairs wagon at #573 (leaving just Eevee and ADK), and then ADK right away moved onto Glooble at #575, which could be coincidence, but could be scum trying to pivot onto an alternative mixile, rather than leaving two scums and no towns voting for a particular person.

Anyway, with thinking that Chairs is on the townier side, that's actually some helpful PoE in itself, given who's left. Similarly, I feel that faust is on the townier side for his handling of the wagon info that points to (at least) one of him and ADK being scum. Didds and Galz are the two unknowns left, and I lean scum on Didds over Galz, but it would be nice if the latter could check in at some point.

I still find it odd that you don't have more suspicion on faust. I mean, I think he's townie, but if you flip town then he's the first one I'd have to re-evaluate.

Wow, so little is happening that I haven't posted in over 24h just though lack of things to say.

Obviously, I'm not feeling strong town vibes from the Galz wagon, but it's true that even a devastating policy exile on town there would leave us at 3v2, so it's not quite enough incentive for scum to QH, even if they were able to.

Does Galz's post mean he's writing us a textbook? I'm going to assume "inc" is "incoming"...

I do tend to think so, though there are some not-entirely-impossible alternatives: Galz could be scum with either faust or WCD (though I don't think either of those scenarios is that likely), or there's a tiny outside chance of faust-WCD as scum, with that entire Galz wagon being townie. None of those three pairings seems more likely than any pairing involving ADK and the others, though.

I think the most likely scum-pairing right now seems to be ADK-Didds, though my Didds case is mainly only PoE, so I'm interested to see what faust has to say about her, since he mentioned wanting to do a re-read there.

I do feel like the current Galz wagon makes Galz-ADK and Galz-Chairs unlikely scum-pairings, because if scum!Galz got bussed by a teammate here, that would risk townies throwing frustrated votes at Galz just because of his extended absence and lack of game contributions to date, which could trap bussing scum uncomfortably.

Here's a word count of everyone in the game so far:

Player word counts:
   5291 SpaceAnemone
   3167 Glooble
   2962 Eevee
   2711 EFHW
   2619 faust
   2560 WestCoastDidds
   2372 Dylan32

   1989 MiX
   1343 Chairs
   1026 Galzria
   695 Robz888
   598 Joseph2302

You've said less in this game than MiX, and he died N1. You also didn't vote at all in D2 or D3, and your only votes in D1 were on the IC and on Joseph.

The way I see it, you're absolutely screwing all of us over for PoE by not being present. If you didn't want to kill the conversation in a game you've been killing with a lack of participation, why on earth have you spent the last 24 hours vaguely flagging an intention to say something without actually participating?

The wording in the mod-posted scum QT examples says "While you're alive, your Mafia QT will be unlocked for both the Day and the Night", so I read that to mean that now Eevee is no longer alive, they no longer have daychat.

And yet still more words than Robz, who is also alive and kicking (not knocking you here Robz, just refuting the validity of Space's overly dramatic point).

And I'm hardly screwing anybody over for PoE. I'm one data point out of thirteen players, three of whom are scum, one of whom has flipped. There's plenty of PoE to do, with or without my input.

Lastly, I've found that acknowledging that you're working on putting something together is generally much more useful than not saying anything at all while you do so - it A) prevents, you know, Mod-Kills, and B) gives others something to hold you accountable to.

Hey, look, a thingy!

Alright, well, aside from D2 getting away from me - I was fully mid-read on D3 when EFHW dropped the result on Eevee and the lynch went through in 6 posts. Didn't even have time to notice that it happened, as I had the thread open to 'All' and didn't see that series of posts go down until afterward.

I don't even know where exactly to start here, but I guess I'll put the ISO's first, some VCA stuff and voting thoughts after, and overall conclusions at the end.

The most obvious place to start ISO's is with Eevee, I suppose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eevee:

Eevee's first 9 posts are mostly NAI stuff. Eevee is asked specific questions from faust & Space, but nothing that makes him really put down anything concrete - it just generates interaction. His first real stated read is in post #101, where he finds WCD towny:
Have we seen Dylan or Joseph yet?

I think maybe scum EFHW is more present. I’m not finding I gotta anything off about MiX at all, so far. Eevee is always wonderful and so far, not scummy. ADKs annoyance with people not voting makes me giggle and also typical...but perhaps the least interesting in terms of trying to sort people. Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

faust and space are hard for me to figure out. Glooble is tricky here....I know he is busy, but also when he’s scum he gets quiet.

Who am I missing? Oh, chairs! I have zero ability to read chairs. I always think she’s scummy. He rarely is.

Vote: ADK
I think this is a towny post. I like the content, and the idea of doing a reads post, all in all good feels.
Generally speaking, this is something I feel scum more often says about town than about scum, especially early on when getting the game established. Still, there is no immediate direct harm in making this read about a partner here, so it could go either way. For my preference though, it slightly moves the needle on WCD towards town.

Eevee's next post, #116, expresses a town read on Glooble for getting frustrated by MiX. This is in line with what I would expect from early scum!Eevee. He's going to set out to build relationships with towns people to extend his general town-credy nature.

Post #201 is the first significant post Eevee makes in terms of really getting a feel for partners. I would expect Eevee to have slightly conflicting reads on his partners. Nothing super concrete as either scummy or towny. "I think they're town BUT they're doing scummy things" sort of thing. Gives him pivot options down the road.
I reread ADK, absolutely don't want to lynch them. Feels they're making a lot of analysis, while I don't agree with all of the conclusions I think that kind of player is so useful to have around.

I'm reading through individual people, looking for someone to vote for.

chairs: Fairly lurky, but I really enjoyed the long reads post even if it was mostly fluff.

Joseph: I'd expect more visibility and participation from Joseph, but the posts he have made seem towny to me. Seems to be trying to figure out the game, asking things I was wondering about too.

EFHW: Ever so slight scum points for the early mention of being scum so often lately, just feel those jokes are more likely to come from scum.

Dylan and Space: Very few posts still (for understandable reasons), hard to say yet.

faust: Surprisingly lurky, but he's the kind of player I was describing when rereading ADK, I'm hesitant to lynch but would like more from.

I guess I'll vote: chairs
Eevee gives reads on 6 players in this post: Dylan, EFHW, and Joseph are all town. ADK he expresses a strong town read on. faust and Chairs are middle ground. I would lean towards scum being more likely in {Chairs, faust} over ADK here.

Post #398 is interesting to me, because Eevee doubles down on a few things: Calling ADK really super particularly townie, and suggesting interest in seeing a Chairs lynch.
Grunch grunch!

I also think Glooble is town (but ADK is townier).

I really think Joseph is a good bet, and I wouldn't oppose a lurker exile (say chairs). Mix lately has been behaving like I'd expect from his townself, but come to think of it not sure I've ever seen him as scum, as much as I've always thought he was.

Main point, not sure why the Joseph wagon fizzled, I didn't find his defense compelling at all. I didn't see Didds's original posts as scummy as others, but the defense didn't ring very genuine to me, I'll be keeping my eye out on them.

All in all, deadline close, the case on Joseph was a GREAT d1 case, I really think we should go for that.

Also funny sidenote, if Robz wasn't the IC, I'd totally be calling for his lurker lynch now, haha. (... I know his play makes sense for IC, just think it's funny that it makes sense for IC and scum to play sort of the same way.)
Both stand out as somewhat scummy takes. While the read on ADK in #201 was slightly less suspect the first time around, the doubling down on it here feels slightly out of place. Like, if ADK is town, what's the point? I guess the reason it bugs me here is that it was an uncalled for read. He was actually expressing a town read on Glooble, and then he casually threw in that he reads ADK as even MORE town. There was no reason for that addition. The consideration I have towards the Chairs read is that in post #201, when Eevee first expressed this read, there was no other real expressed interest in Chairs (Glooble had voted there in post #69, but had since moved on) - it was a completely safe place for Eevee to put his vote (if they're partnered). Eevee left his vote on Chairs until #285 (when he moved to Joseph), and then from #324-#378 faust was voting Chairs. Eevee didn't really circle back around to this Chairs read until again, there was no expressed interest in a Chairs lynch. It just feels like from a partner narrative, Eevee kept pinging Chairs whenever Chairs had no real action around him and it was safe to do so.

This post also makes my WCD needle read slightly townier again. While it's later in the day and unlikely that we'll see movement to WCD, the way Eevee presents the read on WCD makes me feel like they aren't partnered. Not only does he suggest re-evaluating his own previous very slight town read on WCD,but he subtly reminds others that they used to have early scum reads on her.

In post #407, Eevee suggests that "follow the IC" might be necessary as deadline approaches. It's notable that the IC's reads to that point were largely expressed by votes on Glooble (#109), Joseph (#250), WCD (#305), & Glooble (#385). Two of those three players are now flipped town. At this point in time, Joseph had hit a peak of 6 votes (#339: Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, MiX, Chairs), WCD had reached a peak of 3 votes (#308: Robz, EFHW, Chairs), and Glooble had hit a peak of 4 votes (#385: ADK, faust, Space, Robz).

In post #417, Eevee expresses a feeling that my post in #416 is scummy because I expressed reservations on Joseph due to Eevee's presence on the wagon, and read Glooble as town. This makes me feel good about my gut reads.

Post #494 is Eevee's first real post from D2. There's a handful of things to take note of here:
Catching up now.

My instinct is that the people who followed dylan onto joseph are much more likely to be scum than he is, particularly since pretty much every one of those votes was justified by saying "Dylan's case seems solid". If he's scum he's bold scum, and I don't feel like I've played enough with him to tell if that's his style

This is a really good point I think.



Space seems more than usually preoccupied with how she's coming off as, and maybe kind of overexplaining herself? The points she's making make logical sense to me though, but she's so eloquent that maybe I shouldn't read too much into it.

ADK continues to look towny to me, also think Glooble is probably town from yesterday. I think Dylan is towny for pushing Joseph, paradoxically enough. faust I don't have much of an impression on yet which is weird, same for Galzria which I'd say makes both more than mildly suspicious.

I would guess that scum killed Mix because he's headstrong and his reads were good, at least in some capacity? Could also be a sign for Robz that his reads yesterday were not correct.

First, clearly, is the continued unshakable town read on ADK. But let's briefly unpack ADK's point that Eevee was agreeing with. Dylan first voted for Joseph in post #283. The votes for Joseph that "followed" Dylan are: Eevee (#285), Glooble (#314), MiX (#337) & Chairs (#339). The conclusion of that series of votes is what put Joseph at 6 votes the first time around. Given MiX was killed N1, it would be slightly unusual for Eevee to push the consideration of this list if both he and Chairs are scum. Especially because he goes on to state a town read on Glooble from D1 in the same post. As Eevee goes on to cast the third vote on Chairs (#511), this is the strongest piece of evidence that Chairs and Eevee are NOT partners. Note that faust had previously D2 been voting for Chairs (#472-#497), and could've very easily come back to the wagon.

The ONLY thing that detracts from that line of thought is the fact that scum had daychat, and it's a lot easier to coordinate bussing. Still, to believe Chairs is Eevee's partner, you'll need to believe that Eevee advocated looking closely at a list that was essentially {Eevee, Glooble, Chairs}, and that he then generally stated a town read on Glooble while shortly after voting Chairs. Meh.

Day 3 doesn't hold a whole heck of a lot of interesting things from Eevee. He comes in pretty quick trying to pick up interest in the Chairs wagon (although never actually votes there). He continues to express a town read on ADK, going so far as to say he's the one player he would feel comfortable tying his vote to (#667). He contends that he was a super popular exile choice and that he had real concern over being lynched D2 (and that the narrative of his non-exile would consume D3) - it's notable that he only ever reached 2 votes on D2, one from EFHW (#512), and one from WCD (#514) - although perhaps you could argue that there was plenty of other expressed interest in his exile (my last post of D1 suggested exactly that from me, so). He makes what is really only his second ever read on Space in #704 (first was #494, quoted above). In neither does Eevee actually make any attempt to generate interest on Space. It's much more of a passing comment. In fact, most anything Eevee had to say regarding Space was about them, rather than engaging with them. I feel like overall that's more scummy than neutral. Lastly, in #702 Eevee calls a "scumteam" of {WCD, Galzria, Space}. I have a really hard time believing he put all town in that list, and just based on the overall ISO here I feel WCD is townier than Space.

Eevee has strikingly few interactions around faust. Like, really, it's tough for me to think that scum!Eevee wouldn't have done more to engage town!faust, whereas I can see him steering clear of scum!faust. Still, the lack of interaction makes it harder to pin anything really solid here.

Based off everything from Eevee (exclusively), my gut says the remaining scum are two amongst {ADK, Space, faust}, and {WCD, Chairs} are town.
----------------------------------------------------------------
faust:

Let's just get this meaningless point out there: The longer faust lives into a game, the more likely he is to be scum.

A lot of early fluff posts from faust. I might normally find this scummy, but he's been playing looser later in general. First post that stands out to me is #155, wherein he pushes ADK on his "Three people town reading me must mean one is scum" point.
Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group
Want to also veture a guess which one it is?
When you consider those three people were all town (EFHW, Dylan, Joseph), this is the sort of narrative and discussion that scum loves. Some arbitrary grouping of people that are all town to paint as scummy? Yeah... That said, I don't think this is any MORE scummy from faust than it is from ADK.

Ugh. Faust is really hard to pin down. Like, not that he's super sneaky, it's just that, try as I might to dig in and approach him with a scum narrative, he just reads as really, really townie to me. My usual feel for Faust is "Super-Tunnel-Vision he's scum" D1, which gives way to "I still really think he's scum" D2, and then usually ends in "Ok, I'm wrong, he's town" OR "I'm right, he's scum" D3, and usually I'm right at that point.

faust has a lot interactions. He has votes (ADK, Joseph, Chairs, Glooble on D1. Chairs, Glooble on D2. ADK on D3), although maaaaybe I could argue he's been a little too dialed with his votes. D4 and he's only voted for 4 of 12 (discounting himself) players feels slightly as if he's not interested in pursuing real reads/lynches - except I can't really argue that because I don't feel like the content of his posts actually supports it.

I guess the things that kinda stand out to me, if I had to pick them, are that he's one of the few players that seemed to scum read ADK at various points throughout the game (ADK has largely been town read), and he's deflected from Space without really interacting with Space. But neither of those are concrete things. I would say his voting record is more (potentially) indicative of him being scum. He has almost no direct interactions with Eevee - certainly none that point towards his alignment. Overall, I just think faust is more towny than not.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WCD:

My initial thought here is that WCD is the most likely to call for an early MiX NK - MiX reads WCD well, and I know she doesn't like being scum when he's town.

All the normal early fluff posts are here. That's NAI for WCD. Her first post is #97, where it's a little striking that she feels the need to create a read for every player in the game. It shouldn't be that hard for town to say "Hey, game's barely begun, I have no idea what's what!", whereas I think scum!Didds is a little more worried about seeming as if she's trying to form reads.
Have we seen Dylan or Joseph yet?

I think maybe scum EFHW is more present. I’m not finding I gotta anything off about MiX at all, so far. Eevee is always wonderful and so far, not scummy. ADKs annoyance with people not voting makes me giggle and also typical...but perhaps the least interesting in terms of trying to sort people. Galz is hanging back more than I’d guess.

faust and space are hard for me to figure out. Glooble is tricky here....I know he is busy, but also when he’s scum he gets quiet.

Who am I missing? Oh, chairs! I have zero ability to read chairs. I always think she’s scummy. He rarely is.

Vote: ADK
As far as the reads themselves go, she town reads Eevee - but it's notable that she has a hard time expressing reads on so many people that are still alive (faust, Space, Chairs) - it's only notable because she's actively TRYING to form reads on EVERYONE though. Had she only had two or three reads up to this point, I really wouldn't blink an eye at the people she didn't mention (I would assume she didn't have reads on them). I don't know. It makes it harder to pin down possible partner connections. I guess I should note that she DID have an opinion on a flipped scum (even if it was town), so if WCD is in fact scum, she's not entirely hesitant to give her opinion on teammates.

WCD flips her read on ADK from post #97 to #174, but that's not entirely unreasonable this early in the game. She sheeps MiX onto me here though, which just feels a little lazy for her - especially given she hadn't really expressed a strong town read on MiX (she's more likely to sheep strong town reads). The reasoning behind MiX's vote left something to be desired though ("Not scummy, but really high chances of having gotten scum this game"), so this quick vote immediately following from WCD just feels off.

There's nothing really notable about WCD's #251, except that it's basically identical to Eevee's post in #252. The posts were 42 minutes apart - I don't think scum intentionally make these posts, but I'm not convinced they avoid it either:
What’s the argument on Jospeh?
Why are we voting Joseph?

It's interesting to me that despite expressing opinions about multiple people, WCD doesn't get around to moving her vote from me (#174) until #361. During that time, Glooble had reached 3 votes, Joseph had gone from 0 votes to 6 votes, EFHW had upwards of 3 votes - and Chairs, MiX, ADK had all had votes. WCD herself went from 0 to 3 votes during this time. Her vote (and MiX's from #173), along with MiX re-voting me in #226 were the only votes cast on me. And WCD never actually expressed any real read on me (certainly she never justified her vote) other than that I was quieter than she thought I should be - a charge made equally against Joseph and faust (#214). This just feels off for WCD.

WCD opens D2 (#439) with an "Oh no! Not X!" (In this case, MiX) post, which is an extremely classic scum post - but coming from WCD specifically, maybe not so much.

#514 is the first really interesting post D2. A simple, unexplained (initially) vote for Eevee. This is the second vote for Eevee, following EFHW's vote two posts prior. One would think WCD was sheeping EFHW here - which would be really, really weird given WCD's push of EFHW as scum herself starting in post #361. This absolutely feels like opportunistic early Bus Cred.

Let's look at post #549:
I’m reading and following along, but I’m super swamped right now my apologies for not bring more engaged. Hopefully I’ll be out from under soon.

For me, Eevee and EFHW are on the scummy side of the street. Chairs is close to them.

Space and Glooble somewhere in the middle. Galz I guess, too.

ADK, faust, and Dylan on the friendly side.
If we assume Eevee and WCD are partners, it's unlikely that Chairs is the third. I don't really see WCD putting both partners in the bottom 3, even if neither are in any serious danger. I would expect at most 1 in the bottom tier, and 1 in the middle tier (if she's underplaying her reads). Honestly though, I would expect 1 partner in the bottom/middle, and 1 in the top. WCD nightmare scenario is being the last scum alive. She doesn't throw both partners under the bus. This means that if she's partners with Eevee, my most expected third would be ADK or faust, with an outside chance of Space. The vote for Chairs in #620 "over Glooble or faust", which puts Chairs at 3 (to match the 3 on Glooble) almost - ALMOST secures the non-pair between WCD and Chairs. Caveat being Daychat.

Starting D3, WCD agrees with Eevee that we have to get the exile right - she then turns to EoD VCA on Glooble. What's odd here is that, despite WCD being on the Eevee train D2 (the mostly non-existent Eevee train, mind you), WCD concludes "I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list." Here's the entire quote, which includes the EoD wagon:
Adorable mutts getting whacked left and right! Ugh!

Alright people....eevee is spot on. We’ve got to get this right.

Here is the final vote count...I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list.


Glooble (6): faust, Robz888, ADK, chairs, Eevee, Space
chairs (2): Glooble, WCD
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting (2): Dylan, Galz

Sooooo.... why the sudden change? And ADK had been a solid town read of WCD's for quite some time. Interesting VCA note from my PoV: With Glooble, Dylan and EFHW all being town, either WCD is scum, or in fact all three scum WERE on the Glooble wagon. With daychat that's not entirely implausible. Especially if faust is scum - he's more aware of VCA's use amongst f.ds players than anybody I know.

And then WCD's reads flip back again in #691/#692:
seems i'm a popular lynch candidate, i think it would be good for everyone to take a firm position on whether they think that's a good idea or not.

I think it's a bad idea and I don't understand where the sentiment is coming from

Then who’s on your list?

Quite frankly I'm starting to think it's you, sorry

Think harder, then, because we need to get this right and it’s not me.
Highest on my lists are eevee and space. Give those a think...

Like, where did this Space read come from? And now she's back to Eevee? This is all very inconsistent.

The last thing I have here for WCD is that she is trying really, really hard today to make it seem like she was all over Eevee for being scummy earlier in the game when... the truth is that just wasn't the case. Yes, she voted Eevee D2, and spent much of the day with her vote parked there. She even has a few places where she tries to get discussion going on Eevee - but she's never fully committed to it, and it's at a time when Eevee is completely unlikely to be exiled. This feels a lot like scum trying to get credit for having scum reads on scum... without ever having *really* tried to get scum exiled.

ISO'd out, WCD has a LOT of scum points against her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADK:

ADK is notoriously difficult for me to read. They often have a lot of engagement, and it's active engagement. They aren't just commenting on things, but interacting. This *should* make it easier to make reads, but their tone feels so natural that I always read it as genuine, which then reads as townie. Problem for me is, this is true for scum!ADK too.

ADK has very little fluff early on. Gets right into it. Nothing really stands out until post #154, when they throw out the whole "Three people town reading me in a row makes me feel one is scum" line of thought. All three of those people have since flipped town. What's that say about ADK? Nothing, I guess, just that I didn't like the reasoning D1, and especially don't like it now that we have flips.

ADK is very aggressive. They've had and pushed a lot of scum reads on flipped town players - but that's often as much a town trait as it is a scum trait. They're the only person to have voted Space (#436) opening D2. They've been largely town read, and have peaked at just 2 votes.

ADK pushes Space pretty hard out of the gate D2, but then abruptly and without reason switches to Chairs in post #456. Not really sure here, but it's the first thing that stands out as non-genuine. In #461, ADK brings around the argument that the people that followed Dylan onto Joseph are more likley to be scum than others. This list is Eevee (#285), Glooble (#314), MiX (#337) and Chairs (#339). I'm guessing this was the reason ADK voted for Chairs? If ADK is scum, Chairs most likely is not. Given MiX had already flipped town, it seems unlikely ADK pushes to setup a lynch pool of Scum!Eevee, Town!Glooble, Scum!Chairs.

ADK had almost no interactions with Eevee whatsoever, which is slightly notable as ADK interacted with a lot of players. He doesn't really speak much of faust either, but drops a hard town read on faust out of nowhere in #482.

The public discussion with faust regarding VCA in #486/#487 reads slightly partner-y to me. Given where we're at, looking at the Glooble Wagon, if WCD is town, then all 3 scum were on the Glooble wagon. Considering scum had daychat, there's definitely a certain degree of scummy awareness that keeps pinging me.

IAs noted, I have a hard time reading ADK, but if I were to say there's one thing that feels scummy to me about them it's that he feels very self aware, in a way that town often isn't. What they're doing and how it's perceived just... seem to matter to them. Everything feels intentional. I don't know how better to describe it. Their response to WCD in #657 for example (although I admit I too thought WCD's pivot was strange):
Adorable mutts getting whacked left and right! Ugh!

Alright people....eevee is spot on. We’ve got to get this right.

Here is the final vote count...I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list.


Glooble (6): faust, Robz888, ADK, chairs, Eevee, Space
chairs (2): Glooble, WCD
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting (2): Dylan, Galz

What changed your read on me from yesterday?

or the way they deflect off Eevee in the following post:
I think Eevee has to be scum here.

1. opportunistic voting
2. amazingly towny posts (528  (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855229#msg855229)and 529) directly after I voted him (513), but not before or since.
3. Fake dismay about nk.
4. Suddenly giving advice to town, mostly the standard Day 3 things people say.
5. If I squint and look for the players who have not received attention, have not done much, yet have been around, Eevee pops out.
6. He was on the Joseph wagon.

This list reads like you decided to scumread eevee first and then came up with reasons after

I don't know. It's a gut thing, I guess?

In #672 ADK doubles down on the Eevee defense, which is scummy... but... did they need to? Is it better to defend your partner there, or stay back and see how it plays out? That's very aggressive for partner play.

I'm torn on ADK. I'm really, really bad at reading them. My gut says scummy, and I think there are things that support that - but then I also feel like there are things that don't support them being scum with Eevee, so. :-/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Space:

Space is also notoriously difficult for me to read. I generally rely on others opinion, or VCA - although I don't think I've seen scum!space very much.

The first post they make that catches my eye reads townie, and that's post #198. My general recollection is that scum!space has a harder time generating real reads than town!space.
After getting the vote counter going, I also started looking at where the earliest wagon formation started out. ADK is the first person to pick up a multi-vote wagon, at #97 where WCD joins faust on ADK. WCD's assessment was that ADK seemed to be displaying annoyance at people not voting. I don't quite see where that's from, tbh. The original ADK vote was from faust at #77, and was unexplained, but that's pretty common for faust.

From re-reading ADK, I'd say that they fall pretty early into the trap of focusing on what is and isn't normal MiX.

I agree with ADK's response to Eevee about it being more important for scum to live individually than for town.

EFHW's question to ADK at #102 is a bit odd, now I think about it. ADK was clearly criticizing MiX for contributing a lot of words without a lot of analysis, whereas very few people (me, Robz, faust and Dylan) have contributed fewer words than Galz. And on that tangent, I think it's fine for Robz not to say much yet as the IC, and I'm trying to make amends now, even though I'm really not a good D1 player. I think Dylan's been ill, and faust just isn't that verbose, but maybe I should double-check how much he has actually said. Anyway, back on my original point, ADK pointed the distinction out to EFHW at #104.. was that ever followed up/acknowledged?

ADK votes Glooble for a sarcastic comment about MiX being townie for sheeping the IC.

#139, another occasion where ADK directly disagrees with something Eevee says, and again, I feel that I agree more with ADK (in this case that tunnelling someone is an easy role for scum to assume, instead of being something that's hard for scum to mimic).

Aha, apparently from #154, I'm not very original in finding ADK townie. Oh well.

#157-#160: huh, more ADK-Eevee interaction around ADK's asserion that there's probably exactly one scum in the three people who found them townie, which was {EFHW, Dylan, Joseph} in that order.

Okay, so the tl;dr for that re-read is that I find ADK townie, but with an interesting amount of civil disagreement with Eevee in particular, and that I want to re-read faust.
I guess it would be amusing to me if the team were {Eevee, ADK, Space}, and Space chose to comment largely on their scummates.

There are a couple of places where Space indicates concern for how they will look if another player is exiled and flips scum (#445 for example), which coming from them feels townie. Obviously this isn't a concern for scum!Space, and I don't really feel like this is something scum!Space realizes MIGHT be a concern for town!Space. So, town points for that.

Really ISO'ing Space's EoD2 - and they genuinely read townie to me. Like, there seems to be genuine interest in finding scum, and genuine interest in getting the exile correct. If Space is scum, this EoD performance is very convincing, which is unusual for me, as I don't read them well at all.

I've really appreciated that Space has been drilling into the alignment of people that aren't yet flipped. As the remaining scum are amongst those players, it's refreshing to be ISO'ing a player that isn't making cases and arguments for players that are already dead and flipped.

I mean, look at #698 and tell me that doesn't sound like someone who is actually trying to find scum!:
Okay, so that's pretty interesting, and shows who's paying attention to what cases to some extent.

I asked about faust and ADK because it's central to the case faust was pushing on Glooble in D2, and in fact faust has now re-posted exactly the key wagon he used for his Glooble case, but with Glooble now coloured green.

The people who reacted to my question are:

1. Eevee at #688, asking why that pair in particular. He was on the Glooble exile wagon, but apparently "Welp I think it's time to vote glooble" was his only justification there (post #633).

2. ADK, who asserts their towniness, but also doesn't scumread faust. ADK was already pushing Glooble, but it's interesting they didn't seem to pay attention to the reason why faust was pushing so much on the evidence that (as I was trying to point out yesterday!) was really saying "one scum in {Glooble, ADK, faust}, rather than specifically pointing at Glooble.

Special note for Didds, who completely avoided engaging with my question, but did state me as a scumread with no justification.

3. EFHW, who asks "Based on what?" at #695. At least in EFHW's case, she was just ignoring the Glooble wagon and voting Eevee D2.

I think ADK comes off the scummiest of these, though I'm willing to go back and consider Eevee again by now too.

And finally, in un-Space-like fashion, they opened D4 here with a vote (and case) on ADK (#735), that follows up from their thoughts at the end of D3. I guess my question for Space would be: Your general thought process on D3 was prior to Eevee's alignment being known - has that flip changed anything for you?

Space has been, I think, the player I've re-read and most really, really felt is town. It's been refreshing and new! I like it!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chairs:

Fluff until #120. Then this:
Let's be real, scumteam is MiX/Chairs/Robz and we bribed the mod to fake-IC Robz.  ::)

Thoughts:
0. Swowl
Obviously secretly playing as the grassy knoll scummer.

1. Dylan
HOW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BY POST 56

2. WCD
First post - towny fluff.
IKR MIXIAN RESPONSE IS THE BEST.

3. EFHW
First post - towny fluff.
Next notable post is talking about liking cats despite being allergic. This is not very doglike behavior, EFHW, and I am disappointed.

4. ADK
First post calls out request for IC info. Means ADK read the setup. Reading the setup is scummy.
Votes MiX but feels the need to explain why. Explanations about MiX votes are for scum who want to feel better about wagoning their teammate (MiX, who is always scum). Scummy.
MIXIAN RESPONSE I love you, I'm not rewriting this post but you get a D1 pass now b/c I love this.
Tries to pair me as scum with mix. Is obviously trying to deflect from their own obvious pairing with mix.

5. Galz
Gets first post of D1, scummy. Eager to dig into MiX, known scum extraordinaire. Clearly D1 ploy to wagon a teammate for towncred. Scummy.
Votes Robz, confirmed Town.

6. Joseph

7. faust
Complicit in Swowl's plot to disenfranchise deserving dogs. Clearly a cat, and thus scum.
"Everybody wants to be a cat" notes. Everybody knows cats are stinky noodlebutts. DOG AM BEST BOI. SUPER SCUM.
Accuses mix of having trouble reading their own posts. I'm dying. Everyone knows cats don't have humor, so this must be a misdogerstanding.
votes ADK. ADK is the less obv of the obv!scum, so this is leaning me back towards dog-status more.

8. MiX
Tells Galz to trust his MiX!Radar. Neutral. We all have a great MiX!Radar, that being that MiX is always scum.
Votes EFHW. Thus, EFHW is Town.
Agrees with ADK voting MiX. IS MIX. Clearly a ploy to make scum!ADK look like town!ADK.
Votes EFHW... again? (reply 57). I can only assume this is some hardcore PR hunting.
Defends me. IS THIS THE RARE TOWN MIX? OR IS THIS A DIRTY CAT PLOY?

9. chairs
It's me! I'm amazing and practically perfect in every way.

10. Eevee
Trusting IC!Robz? Not a good look. Scum.
Fluffy? Good bois are fluffy and pettable. Maaaybe is dog?

11. Space
IS IN SPACE and thus a dog. Have you heard of any famous cats in space? NO. WE ONLY PUT GOOD DOGGOS IN SPACE. NO CAT.

12. Robz
IC.

13. Glooble
"Allergic to cats". Sounds like something a cat would say. Everyone knows even cats hate cats.
Votes me! Confirmed scum.

(14). Jotheonah
Killed N0 by Swowl. Basically John F Doggedy.



Okay I'm bored with that now, ran out of steam about post 84. Main takeaway? This game has had relatively little meat.

Specific notes in not-amusing-myself fashion:
MiX is bit fluffier than usual, which I actually think is a Town!MiX tell - I think scum!MiX kinda bares fangs a little quicker in the outset.
Eevee is stressing that Robz "reads me well" which feels a lil' scummy honestly.
XaL says vote: Dylan is a solid choice. Joseph also a good choice.
Robz as IC is great, because now I don't have to vote Robz off the island for being Robz, who I usually feel like plays a very scummy Town game (and a very scummy Scum game).
The way ADK has played off MiX makes me feel like ADK is kinda scummy.
faust comes off as, well, faust. I'd feel more towny about it from, say, Glooble, but for faust this is neutral.

JOHNNY FIVE NEEDS INPUT. More votes, folks.

Will try to read though stuff past 90 or so in a bit.
A lot of reads, some more serious than others. Slight scum read on Eevee this early stands out. His point isn't wrong - but I wouldn't expect it to get called out this early/quickly.

There aren't a lot of posts from Chairs, but he sheeps/votes a lot given the lack of overall posts. And he's all over the place. Take this post at #179:
Phone posting for like the next four days.

Not feeling good about this ADK situation that occurred. Feeling worse about the Galz situation.

Didds and MiX getting D1 passes from me

Followed by #308:
Vote: didds

Yeah that's a big ol nothing burger.

And #320:
MiX is sus. Haven't found a body but someone hit emergency meeting button. Gut feel.

Vote: mix

Or early(ish) on, in #262, when Chairs posts this:
Vote: glooble

I think the adk glooble interaction has me ready to vote one of them off the island and I think glooble has come off scummier in the interactions, personally.

And then this at #404:
Am I really lurking that much? Man, sorry. It doesn't feel like it on my end.

I think this it Town gloobs

I think the ADK argument from gloobs makes a lot of sense.

Vote: adk

In fact, Chairs votes for 6 unique people on D1, without doubling up on anybody. He then opens D2 voting for a 7th unique player (faust), before unvoting (#478) and casting his first repeat vote (#484) on Glooble. This then changes to an 8th unique player (me) in #547. For good measure, he got a vote on a Cop Caught Eevee D3 in #679, making 9 unique votes out of 12 cast.

It's almost as if he's just going off a checklist. This was post #478:
Okay good, my faust vote got d2 convos rolling. I can unvote now.

unvote

Leaning Gloobs but I want to actually take some time to reread.
Nobody else talked about faust or voted for him or did anything that even recognized the existence of the vote from the point in time he cast it (#455) to the above quote. It served no purpose, and didn't start any conversation. It's almost like Chairs has a quota to fill here.

And this, from #502, seems to confirm that Chairs is very aware of his play:
Question for chairs. What changed between here:

Vote: glooble

I think the adk glooble interaction has me ready to vote one of them off the island and I think glooble has come off scummier in the interactions, personally.

and here:

Am I really lurking that much? Man, sorry. It doesn't feel like it on my end.

I think this it Town gloobs

I think the ADK argument from gloobs makes a lot of sense.

Vote: adk

And now you're back on me again?



I'd love to hear some thoughts from Glooble on his D1 wagon.

Well, I've talked about ADK a lot. Robz is town. MiX was town. So that leave you, chairs and Space (taht's everyone who voted for me at all, I think.) See above for chairs- he goes back and forth between me and ADK in a way that I think it honestly pretty scummy. Space's initial vote for me reads like a joke vote. The weirdest thing is that they defend it like it was more serious than it initially appeared. Your vote doesn't come with a lot of explanation, I assume you just thought I was a better wagon than Joseph. But my wagon never had much substance to it.

Most likely scum is chairs I think. I'm still wary of ADK but my scumread on them has cooled somewhat, I think it was a little too emotionally motivated.

vote: chairs

PPE: faust voting for me

What happened mostly is that my votes and reads are mercurial, as always. This is not news ::) I always gutfeel my way through games, and I'm usually only really thinking about the last page or two of posts, tops, unless I have -just- read X pages (and even then, I find I just tie myself in knots if I don't just let everything flow like waves against the shore and see what treasure gets stuck in the sand).

And that's pretty much all from Chairs. Couple of votes for me each time it's brought up that I haven't posted.

His votes have also been extremely opportunistic, which I'll get into more in the VCA.

All in all, I would put him up there with WCD in terms of how scummy their individual ISO's are. This is true more for Chairs because of VCA (which will come next) than WCD, who is scummy because of her posts.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Going to continue with VCA's in a different post, and then do a third for complete thoughts.

Post by: faust on October 19, 2020, 05:58:38 am
You've said less in this game than MiX, and he died N1. You also didn't vote at all in D2 or D3, and your only votes in D1 were on the IC and on Joseph.

The way I see it, you're absolutely screwing all of us over for PoE by not being present. If you didn't want to kill the conversation in a game you've been killing with a lack of participation, why on earth have you spent the last 24 hours vaguely flagging an intention to say something without actually participating?
You're stealing my lines!

Maybe it's just the most active players who get the most frustrated with inactivity. I have been less present here than usual, and so maybe Galzria's lurkiness has me less annoyed.

I gotta say though the complaints about Galz announcing a thing don't feel completely warranted. Clearly the kind of playstyle he follows requires a lot of time spent on each post. I think it's valid to say "I'm around working on something" when you are called out for inactivity; the alternative doesn't seem better.

Post by: faust on October 19, 2020, 06:00:27 am
That's a possibility, but I'm worried we're going to let him off with basically no posting and he's going to have the laziest scum game in history.
Lol talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 4
Post by: faust on October 19, 2020, 06:07:10 am
One of those Galz votes is from scum, yes?

I do tend to think so, though there are some not-entirely-impossible alternatives: Galz could be scum with either faust or WCD (though I don't think either of those scenarios is that likely), or there's a tiny outside chance of faust-WCD as scum, with that entire Galz wagon being townie. None of those three pairings seems more likely than any pairing involving ADK and the others, though.

I think the most likely scum-pairing right now seems to be ADK-Didds, though my Didds case is mainly only PoE, so I'm interested to see what faust has to say about her, since he mentioned wanting to do a re-read there.

I do feel like the current Galz wagon makes Galz-ADK and Galz-Chairs unlikely scum-pairings, because if scum!Galz got bussed by a teammate here, that would risk townies throwing frustrated votes at Galz just because of his extended absence and lack of game contributions to date, which could trap bussing scum uncomfortably.
I'm gonna chime in and say that I don't see how voting for Galzria serves a scum agenda here. It's not like he's just going to get quixiled. It just reads like an expression of frustation which is more townie than not (but certainly fakable).
Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 4
Post by: faust on October 19, 2020, 06:30:28 am
Which reminds me that a Didds reread was promised. Galzria did a lot of quoting and stuff so I'll try to not do that, seems repetitive.

Hot take that EFHW not being present means she's town... comes like less than 100 posts into the game. Just feels like a throwaway read, encouraging lurkiness is of course a place that scum likes to be at. Unrelated ADK vote, cool. Then moving to Galz, which is sure fine whatever. Look we have Eevee and Didds asking back to back why there are Joseph votes; those posts follow one another directly but with like 40 minutes in between, so no PPE. I don't know that Eevee would just echo his scumpartner. Didds is playing defense on Joseph a little bit, that's a place that I'd think a scum would go. We go into late D1 and the wagons were a bunch of town and a bit of Didds and Didds doesn't like the other wagons a lot... sure I suppose. Didds puhses EFHW only to join her in her quest on Eevee... which is weird but really not all that scummy. I mean.. that's your scumpartner right there, no need to join a professed scumread. It doesn't last that long I suppose. But she's pushing unknown!chairs over town!Glooble at least. And in doing so joins Eevee. So either Eevee + Didds decided to go after town together or it's a hard bus? IDK, neither seems all that necessary.

All in all I don't think there's a lot of scumminess on display here.

I've been townreading Space but it's odd that everyone seems to agree that Space and I are town. If Space is indeed town, then that's not a winning strategy for scum. Unless they're really confident that they can misexile both townies in the remaining pool of 4.

Galzy, some of the posts you find scummy are just me trying to get better at forming and articulating reads. It’s a work in progress. In my last game, scum killed me early because I was active so I’ve been trying to be less rando, but you know me....I kind of live for the chatter.

The other things I’d say, reading two plus weeks of thoughts in a single sitting makes for an appearance of deliberate thought that isn’t quite fair. Now, this is true for everyone, but really the case for me. When we started, I was in the midst of a book proposal and wasn’t fully in this head space. It’s had for me to see the thoughts from before that was submitted and after it was submitted as continuous.

I prefer faust’s assessment of...well, that was weird, but it’s not scummy because it doesn’t have any strategy behind it. I’m guessing that the VCA will bear this out once you get to that. If for no other reason, if I was going to bus, it wouldn’t be the person who gave scum daychat. I freaking love daychat. Everyone knows this. It is known.

PPe- ADK, desperate people do desperate things! And I don’t like being in anyone’s sights. Nervous is kind of my default. I am rarely relaxed when being picked apart.

But really, here's my takeaway so far from Galz's post:

-it's a particular combination of insightful and confused (that is, doesn't seem to have a specific agenda) to make me think that Galz is town

-the most useful part of it is his iso of eevee, which is enough for me to back off of didds for now

-regarding some stuff he said about me:

Quote
IAs noted, I have a hard time reading ADK, but if I were to say there's one thing that feels scummy to me about them it's that he feels very self aware, in a way that town often isn't. What they're doing and how it's perceived just... seem to matter to them. Everything feels intentional. I don't know how better to describe it. Their response to WCD in #657 for example (although I admit I too thought WCD's pivot was strange):
Adorable mutts getting whacked left and right! Ugh!

Alright people....eevee is spot on. We’ve got to get this right.

Here is the final vote count...I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list.


Glooble (6): faust, Robz888, ADK, chairs, Eevee, Space
chairs (2): Glooble, WCD
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting (2): Dylan, Galz

What changed your read on me from yesterday?

I think I tend to be a self aware player in general (see: this post) because that's just how I am. And didds's sudden pivot on me was noteworthy enough to potentially be scummy, so it was something worth discussing

Quote
or the way they deflect off Eevee in the following post:
I think Eevee has to be scum here.

1. opportunistic voting
2. amazingly towny posts (528  (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855229#msg855229)and 529) directly after I voted him (513), but not before or since.
3. Fake dismay about nk.
4. Suddenly giving advice to town, mostly the standard Day 3 things people say.
5. If I squint and look for the players who have not received attention, have not done much, yet have been around, Eevee pops out.
6. He was on the Joseph wagon.

This list reads like you decided to scumread eevee first and then came up with reasons after

I just want to point out that I was right about this

I'm running out of time before having to leave for work, so I might have more to say later. For now I guess I'm left supporting a chairs exile if y'all come to your sense and don't exile me

I’m not saying that I’m trying to be less present, I think I have largely succeeded in being present this game even though I was swamped at the beginning.

I’m trying to be less random and post with purpose. I like to talk so my inclination is to post whatever whenever because talking is fun and you all are interesting people. Turns out that is annoying to many. Further, one of my challenges is that I think by writing so I end up starting posts without knowing what my point is until I’ve written through it. I’m trying to do that less because when asked to explain later why I said a particular thing, only some people understand what I mean when I say I didn’t really have a point and that isn’t scummy, it’s just me. I obviously still do this to some extent, but I’m working on having better arguments and not just having random responses in the same way that I’m working in reasons instead of just feelings.

As for trying to avoid the NK...yes. I did/do not want to be killed. In that game, it was frustrating to be killed early on in the only game going at the time, and then to discover it’s because I was playing in a particular way led me to consider how I might improve.

PPE: yes, ADK. Thank you.

Well, it's just... if scum kills you N1, then that means you played a good game. Surviving until now means you played worse (or, you know, are scum). So you didn't improve, you got worse.

Note to Robz: That big Galz wall is exactly why I added word counts to my vote-count script, since some players like you and ADK average barely 20 words per post, people like me and Dylan are averaging around 100 for this game, and next time I re-count, Galz will probably be averaging in the hundreds per post.

I guess my question for Space would be: Your general thought process on D3 was prior to Eevee's alignment being known - has that flip changed anything for you?

I think we could say that Eevee's flip didn't do anything to divert me away from my slight ADK tunnel. Mainly, the vca stuff is independent of Eevee, because Eevee wasn't present on the Glooble wagon around the points that faust and I have been picking out.

However, I did find it interesting that your review of ADK said "ADK had almost no interactions with Eevee whatsoever", whereas I'd found their early interactions noteworthy enough to comment on them at #198, which you then commented on yourself when you got to the point of re-reading me. I think the interaction may contribute very slightly to a scum!ADK case, because I think Eevee would be careful to stage some interaction with his scumbuddies, since iirc he's generally quite nervous and self-conscious as scum.

PPE lots: I'm catching up after a long workday!

Here's a word count of everyone in the game so far:
Random question, is your word counting algorithm sophisticated enough to cut out quoted bits?

Yes, it's based on the same script that counts votes, so I already had to kill all quotes before analysis. It's a bit flakey about special characters that get rendered with html ampersand codes, but robust to most other html.

While I recognise that you're not openly saying you're not a doctor in this game, it might be worth noting that it's almost certainly not in town's interests to be talking about who is and isn't a doctor here, in case scum gets better PoE than they already have.

Post by: Galzria on October 20, 2020, 02:39:00 pm
Some of the snapshots I was looking at:

Post #285

ADK (1): Glooble
Glooble (3): ADK, Space, Chairs
EFHW (2): Joseph, MiX
Galzria (1): WCD
Joseph (5): Galzria, faust, Robz, Dylan, Eevee
MiX (1): EFHW


If faust is scum, Eevee put the second scum vote on a wagon of 5 on Joseph. If two of {ADK, Space, Chairs} are scum, then there were two scum votes on a wagon of 3 (which was it's peak up to that point). If WCD is scum, and faust is town, then scum were spread evenly. If ADK is town, there were 6 wagons town wagons to choose from (if he's scum, there were 5 wagons to choose from). If ADK is scum, it makes it microscopically more likely that WCD is town, as fully spreading their votes with a potential scum wagon isn't quite as good.

What's more interesting is that the next three votes that follow are in posts #305 (Robz votes WCD), #307 (EFHW votes WCD), and #308 (Chairs votes WCD). The vote (and reasoning) from Chairs is basically follow-the-IC. If WCD is town, this looks much worse for Chairs. It's possible two town players snap followed Robz to WCD, but it's slightly more likely that one town and one scum did.


Post #339
Glooble (2): ADK, Space
EFHW (1): Joseph
Galzria (1): WCD
Joseph (6): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, MiX, Chairs
WCD (1): Robz
Chairs (1): faust


This is the first time Joseph's wagon hit 6, with Chairs casting the L-1 vote. faust had just moved to Chairs two votes prior in post #324, and while one vote does not a wagon make, could chairs have been worried there might be more movement to follow? Dunno. Maybe Chairs didn't even notice. If Chairs/WCD are scum though, I could see where scum wants to deter either of their wagons from forming up or gaining steam. Note Chairs moved from MiX, which was a solitary vote at the time.


This is a snapshot progression of the last major movement D1:

Post #385:

Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz
EFHW (3): Joseph, WCD, MiX
Joseph (5): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, Chairs
ADK (1): EFHW


From here, where we had three entrenched town wagons, Chairs moved off of the leading wagon (with scum!Eevee on it), and onto ADK in post #404. Space moved from Glooble to Joseph in #423. Prior to the move Glooble and Joseph were both at 4 votes. Not really much reason for Space to do this as scum. They're separated from Eevee already, and it's all town wagons as far as the eye can see. At worst (or best, depending on your view), things go to a no-exile. There's no pressure or meta for Space to make this move either, so in all, pretty neutral at worst, townie at best. Robz moves off of Glooble in #425, and EFHW hammers Joseph in #427, moving off of ADK. This makes the final VC look like:

Post #427:

Glooble (2): ADK, faust
EFHW (3): Joseph, WCD, MiX
Joseph (7): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, Space, Robz, EFHW
ADK (1): Chairs


If Space is town, then the only scum on the Joseph wagon is Eevee. That's not entirely impossible, and in fact is where I lean. For my money, I think there's one scum in {Chairs, WCD}, and one in {ADK, faust}. I don't think scum!ADK and scum!faust were both hanging around over on Glooble. The Chairs move is once again not a good look.

For D2, at the point WCD voted Eevee, the wagons looked like this:

Post #514:
Chairs (3): ADK, Glooble, Eevee
Glooble (3): Chairs, faust, Robz
Eevee (2): EFHW, WCD

Not voting: Dylan, Space, Galz


WCD was coming from a solo vote on EFHW, and at the time it took 6 to exile. This is a tricky situation if WCD and Chairs are scum together. On the one hand, she could come in and start to run up the Glooble wagon. This probably looks bad for her down the line though. On the other, voting Eevee creates multiple wagons (even if two are on scum), and allows for more open discussion all around - Although I think WCD would just continue to push her EFHW case instead. On the flip side, if Chairs is town, this is a pretty safe place to vote for Eevee for WCD. There are two wagons with more votes than Eevee, Glooble is a very viable and leading candidate from the previous day, and given all of the town wagons that were going around D1, it's incredibly unlikely the Eevee wagon goes anywhere here. As noted in my ISO, WCD doesn't exactly push Eevee super hard throughout D2 - the vote is just kinda sitting there. In addition, if Chairs is town here, and one of {ADK, faust} is scum, as I believe, this allows scum!WCD to not stack any wagons.

And this kinda brings me to the EoD hammer on Glooble by Space:

Post #645:

Chairs (2): WCD, Glooble
Glooble (6): faust, Robz, ADK, Chairs, Eevee, Space
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting: Galzria, Dylan


Nothing, in all of the votes cast, and wagons prior, gives me ANY sense that scum were interested in stacking a wagon. I cannot find a single instance where I believe scum to have 3 votes on a wagon (or where, based on who is still alive), it's even likely/possible. Even with scum having daychat - I just do not honestly believe that they all piled onto Glooble here. I do not believe that Space, as scum, hammers here on a wagon that has both of their scum buddies on it. So if Space is scum, so is WCD. And while {faust, ADK} were already on the wagon when Chairs moved his vote there - which could be argued was a self preservation vote, if two of {faust, ADK, chairs} are scum, I don't believe that Eevee feels the need to get involved in this wagon right after Chairs. Either Chairs is town, and Eevee was already in a good spot on his wagon, or Chairs is scum, and Eevee's moving not only stacks the Glooble wagon, but also could implicate Chairs in the process by distancing from a partner.

Day 3 VCA isn't really worth looking at, and here we are on Day 4.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My overall conclusions, kept short here because I just updated the page and noticed ADK has been hammered, based on a combination of VCA and the ISO's that I did are as follows:

I'm 75% certain that WCD is scum. Her ISO was easily the scummiest of any living player, and where her votes sit in VCA analysis fits almost every ideal scum voting spread. Add in the fact that I simply do not believe that all scum were on the Glooble wagon EoD2, and this is hands down my highest scum read.

I'm also like, 90% certain Chairs is town. This would drop to 75% if WCD were also town, but I don't think that is the case. The primary thing here, is that despite his opportunistic voting and how he's generally approached play/his reads - the ISO on Eevee all but clears him. There is just no way Eevee endorses pursuing people that voted Joseph after Dylan did, when that subset contains {Eevee, Town!MiX, Glooble, Chairs} - especially as Eevee casually goes on to town read Glooble. That just isn't partner play. Add in that this suggestion was formulated by ADK (who could be scum), and it's pretty clear that Chairs isn't scum. Cherry on top, WCD's post #549, where she puts Eevee & Chairs as two of her three most scummy players - like I said in the WCD ISO, Scum!WCD's nightmare is to run solo. She doesn't double-bus, and she doesn't put both her partners in the bottom like that.

That leaves me feeling the following:

Scum: WCD
One Scum in: {faust, ADK}
Probably Town: Space
Town: Chairs

Between faust & ADK, I lean ADK - I'm not unhappy with his exile, although I would've preferred WCD.

@Galz, you commented in your long post about faust still being alive at this point in the game. You didn't say anything about Robz-the-IC being alive, though. Isn't that equally noteworthy?

The faust point was in jest, not really a point. The Robz-being-alive thing isn't something that should be speculated on. Yes, it's noteworthy. That's about all that should be said.

I suppose not... but stalling is never good for a game, it gets people disinterested and that leads to less contribution in the future.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 23, 2020, 06:14:05 am
I dunno about claiming when scum know exactly what roles are out there and we don't. I've been suspicious from early on that leaving Robz alive could be a scum plot to make us think we have a doctor that a scum can then use as a fake-claim later on to try to IC one of their number. Though actually I'd have been most suspicious of that if EFHW hadn't already flipped town, because I thought something she'd said earlier really contributed nicely to setting that possibility up... I'd have to dig back through her posts to remind myself exactly what it was, though.

Anyway, Chairs's behaviour coming into today makes it look like he's likely to claim credit for the lack of NK, though without him using actual words, I guess it's not a safe assumption to make.

If we are going to decide to mass-claim, then I absolutely think our actual living mod-confirmed IC should be the one to be pushing for it, rather than anyone else.

For someone who isn't sure about claiming you do seem quite eager to claim not-Doctor.

Ha. So what, we're all supposed to sit back and twiddle our thumbs while Robz solves the game?

You make it sound like the only two options are thumb-twiddling or Robz-following, and that's not it at all. Any of us has better PoE than Robz, because we can trust our own alignment as well as his, so any of us have a better chance of making useful cases and observations than Robz does.

However I will be deeply suspicious of anyone trying to force town into playing things their way unless they're an IC, because right now I'm going to have to read anyone who isn't Robz through several paranoid layers of "what if this person has an ulterior motive?". It benefitted scum to rush things at the EoD4, especially since Galz was still apparently working on cases when the hammer came, and I don't want to see town rushed into anything quickly now.

(And yes, I recognise that I was one of the ones driving the earlier part of the ADK wagon, and that I'm equally to blame for that mixile, but we should have left more time to discuss what Galz was contributing, and at least had warning intent from Chairs. Instead we had a sudden rushed super-early mixile that was either caused by scum pushing a sense of urgency on us, or town getting bored and not thinking, or a bit of both.. but I'm suspicious of the possibility that scum is being manipulative here).

Here's the post by EFHW early in D2 that I remembered:

I'm thinking the choice of MiX over Robz means we have a doctor.

Also, I had inadvertently implied I may not be the doctor earlier in the game already, so faust's indignant tone about it now seems a bit unnecessary:

MiX is a weird kill to me. In my last scum game, my team tried to use the amount of attention and distraction he generates to our advantage. Obviously this scum team did not see similar value here.

Yeah, we left MiX alive and misfiring to great effect there, but the fact remains he's a high-volume poster, so if the scumteam thought he was too townie, they may have wanted him out of the way in the hope of stalling the game more or something. I also agree with EFHW that you being alive points to the possibility of a doctor, unless it's some kind of scum gambit, but I'm not sure what advantage they'd think they're getting if leaving you deliberately alive as IC and risking a kill that could have been on a VT seemed worthwhile.

Okay, I thought about it some more and I think this is the right call. We have to get it right today or we lose, yeah?

Perhaps more importantly, scum already know that I am the doc because I was blocked N3 when I doctored EFHW (it’s been Rob all the other nights). So, we should have as much information as they do and it should improve our VCA (although I haven’t been on any of the mixiles so not as helpful as it could be.)

Reread and it’s obvious, especially since I pretty much as much in the conversation with faust about why I was trying to avoid being nightkilled.

Okay cool, I was going to ask Didds to claim first, anyway. (I'm on such a role! That was sarcasm.)

I think now I just want everyone to swiftly just acknowledge the claim, or counterclaim if you ARE the Doctor.

There are several things wrong in this one. First of all, there can be ways for scum to kill the Doctor's target without blocking them. Second... uh, the Mafia player who would have been the Roleblocker is Eevee, who was already dead at the time.

Although one thing that occurs to me at the outset is that chairs *absolutely* started laying the groundwork for this yesterday.  The day ended when he hammered ADK, and then he immediately turned around and said that ADK and I were scum.  Then the nightkill decision to leave me alive was easy knowing this would happen.

This works even better if the scum team is chairs and Galzy since he started building that narrative yesterday.

Post by: WestCoastDidds on October 23, 2020, 03:30:01 pm
Alright.... 

I am not quite sure what I can say that clears me. As faust noted, it would be ENTIRELY like me to continue to Doc the IC, except when I thought EFHW was more valuable.

ISO chairs reveals that chairs is being way nicer to me than usual. Which I enjoy, but is also always a good technique where I am concerned but also scummy. He is literally being nicer to me than he has ever been, including chiming in when ADK was explaining to faust how they read my statement about trying not to get killed.  He also didn't ridicule my doctoring targets, which is where chairs would normally be. He is trying to Didds a Didds!

Think about this from a scum chairs/glaz perspective.  Scum wins if they can get me exiled. I haven't done anything scummy and none of my votes have been scummy. Galz (who I havent found terribly scummy until I started reading more closely) creates several narratives where he puts chairs and I together, and then looks at us as a team or town!chairs scum!WCD, but never the inverse. Chairs knows I am town, but all he needs to do is make me look guilty enough that Robz goes for it.  Robz has been off all game.  Literally none of his reads have been scum at all so this won't be a tough sale. Galz buries us in a wall of words that hide the one-way nature of his analysis and chairs insists that ADK and I are scum until ADK flips scum.  They literally only have to get him or one person to believe them. It's so smart....and 100% smarter than I would be able to pull off.  One of chairs or I is getting exiled today....do any of you really think that I have that kind of play in me.  That I would put myself on the block like that? Here's the thing...Robs and I have played together very little and he usually finds me scummy for the kind of fluffiness that some of ya'll have become more familiar with.  So their pitch is really just to him., and he's already said that he thinks its me so they just need to lean into that. Chairs fishing for other roles makes him look town helpful like he doesn't know the game will end when I get exiled. They know him better, they know the kinds of arguments that appeal to him, and they know that he will find my general playstyle fishy.

I'll do Galzy's big posts next.

So, I am going back and rereading and holy cow, knowing what we know now about adk, and me/chairs, this is SUPER scummy. Its definitely trying to create a narrative where chairs is vindicated before he was ever on the block.


Some of the snapshots I was looking at:

* I'm adding green to ADK
Post #285

ADK (1): Glooble
Glooble (3): ADK, Space, Chairs
EFHW (2): Joseph, MiX
Galzria (1): WCD
Joseph (5): Galzria, faust, Robz, Dylan, Eevee
MiX (1): EFHW


If faust is scum, Eevee put the second scum vote on a wagon of 5 on Joseph. If two of {ADK, Space, Chairs} are scum, then there were two scum votes on a wagon of 3 (which was it's peak up to that point). If WCD is scum, and faust is town, then scum were spread evenly. If ADK is town, there were 6 wagons town wagons to choose from (if he's scum, there were 5 wagons to choose from). If ADK is scum, it makes it microscopically more likely that WCD is town, as fully spreading their votes with a potential scum wagon isn't quite as good.

What's more interesting is that the next three votes that follow are in posts #305 (Robz votes WCD), #307 (EFHW votes WCD), and #308 (Chairs votes WCD). The vote (and reasoning) from Chairs is basically follow-the-IC. If WCD is town, this looks much worse for Chairs. It's possible two town players snap followed Robz to WCD, but it's slightly more likely that one town and one scum did.

*That last sentence is authentic.  Two town, one scum. Chairs.


Post #339
Glooble (2): ADK, Space
EFHW (1): Joseph
Galzria (1): WCD
Joseph (6): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, MiX, Chairs
WCD (1): Robz
Chairs (1): faust


This is the first time Joseph's wagon hit 6, with Chairs casting the L-1 vote. faust had just moved to Chairs two votes prior in post #324, and while one vote does not a wagon make, could chairs have been worried there might be more movement to follow? Dunno. Maybe Chairs didn't even notice. If Chairs/WCD are scum though, I could see where scum wants to deter either of their wagons from forming up or gaining steam. Note Chairs moved from MiX, which was a solitary vote at the time.

* You know we aren't in this together now, but notably this is one of the only times that you entrain the idea that chairs is scum instead of me.

This is a snapshot progression of the last major movement D1:

Post #385:

Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz
EFHW (3): Joseph, WCD, MiX
Joseph (5): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, Chairs
ADK (1): EFHW


From here, where we had three entrenched town wagons, Chairs moved off of the leading wagon (with scum!Eevee on it), and onto ADK in post #404. Space moved from Glooble to Joseph in #423. Prior to the move Glooble and Joseph were both at 4 votes. Not really much reason for Space to do this as scum. They're separated from Eevee already, and it's all town wagons as far as the eye can see. At worst (or best, depending on your view), things go to a no-exile. There's no pressure or meta for Space to make this move either, so in all, pretty neutral at worst, townie at best. Robz moves off of Glooble in #425, and EFHW hammers Joseph in #427, moving off of ADK. This makes the final VC look like:

Post #427:

Glooble (2): ADK, faust
EFHW (3): Joseph, WCD, MiX
Joseph (7): Galzria, Dylan, Eevee, Glooble, Space, Robz, EFHW
ADK (1): Chairs


If Space is town, then the only scum on the Joseph wagon is Eevee. That's not entirely impossible, and in fact is where I lean. For my money, I think there's one scum in {Chairs, WCD}, and one in {ADK, faust}. I don't think scum!ADK and scum!faust were both hanging around over on Glooble. The Chairs move is once again not a good look.

*We know that there is in fact one scum in Chairs/WCD

For D2, at the point WCD voted Eevee, the wagons looked like this:

Post #514:
Chairs (3): ADK, Glooble, Eevee
Glooble (3): Chairs, faust, Robz
Eevee (2): EFHW, WCD

Not voting: Dylan, Space, Galz


WCD was coming from a solo vote on EFHW, and at the time it took 6 to exile. This is a tricky situation if WCD and Chairs are scum together. On the one hand, she could come in and start to run up the Glooble wagon. This probably looks bad for her down the line though. On the other, voting Eevee creates multiple wagons (even if two are on scum), and allows for more open discussion all around - Although I think WCD would just continue to push her EFHW case instead. On the flip side, if Chairs is town, this is a pretty safe place to vote for Eevee for WCD. There are two wagons with more votes than Eevee, Glooble is a very viable and leading candidate from the previous day, and given all of the town wagons that were going around D1, it's incredibly unlikely the Eevee wagon goes anywhere here. As noted in my ISO, WCD doesn't exactly push Eevee super hard throughout D2 - the vote is just kinda sitting there. In addition, if Chairs is town here, and one of {ADK, faust} is scum, as I believe, this allows scum!WCD to not stack any wagons.

*This is the paragrpah that I find scummy.  We know that WCD and chairs are not scum togther, but everything in the first part of this scenario is if we are and then reasons why we are not.  We are not.  Then he says "on the flip side" and looks at if chairs was town BUT does not create a scenario where I am town.  The flip side language makes it look like he is considering all of the possibilities, but that isn't what is happening.


And this kinda brings me to the EoD hammer on Glooble by Space:

Post #645:

Chairs (2): WCD, Glooble
Glooble (6): faust, Robz, ADK, Chairs, Eevee, Space
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting: Galzria, Dylan


Nothing, in all of the votes cast, and wagons prior, gives me ANY sense that scum were interested in stacking a wagon. I cannot find a single instance where I believe scum to have 3 votes on a wagon (or where, based on who is still alive), it's even likely/possible. Even with scum having daychat - I just do not honestly believe that they all piled onto Glooble here. I do not believe that Space, as scum, hammers here on a wagon that has both of their scum buddies on it. So if Space is scum, so is WCD. And while {faust, ADK} were already on the wagon when Chairs moved his vote there - which could be argued was a self preservation vote, if two of {faust, ADK, chairs} are scum, I don't believe that Eevee feels the need to get involved in this wagon right after Chairs. Either Chairs is town, and Eevee was already in a good spot on his wagon, or Chairs is scum, and Eevee's moving not only stacks the Glooble wagon, but also could implicate Chairs in the process by distancing from a partner.

Day 3 VCA isn't really worth looking at, and here we are on Day 4.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My overall conclusions, kept short here because I just updated the page and noticed ADK has been hammered, based on a combination of VCA and the ISO's that I did are as follows:

I'm 75% certain that WCD is scum. Her ISO was easily the scummiest of any living player, and where her votes sit in VCA analysis fits almost every ideal scum voting spread. Add in the fact that I simply do not believe that all scum were on the Glooble wagon EoD2, and this is hands down my highest scum read.

I'm also like, 90% certain Chairs is town. This would drop to 75% if WCD were also town, but I don't think that is the case. The primary thing here, is that despite his opportunistic voting and how he's generally approached play/his reads - the ISO on Eevee all but clears him. There is just no way Eevee endorses pursuing people that voted Joseph after Dylan did, when that subset contains {Eevee, Town!MiX, Glooble, Chairs} - especially as Eevee casually goes on to town read Glooble. That just isn't partner play. Add in that this suggestion was formulated by ADK (who could be scum), and it's pretty clear that Chairs isn't scum. Cherry on top, WCD's post #549, where she puts Eevee & Chairs as two of her three most scummy players - like I said in the WCD ISO, Scum!WCD's nightmare is to run solo. She doesn't double-bus, and she doesn't put both her partners in the bottom like that.

** 100% agree with the last sentence.  Chairs has been in my most scummy players and still is. Again, this is a one-sided assessment pitched as at an even handed look. He entrtains if chairsd and I are town togther but not if I am town and chairs is scum.

That leaves me feeling the following:

Scum: WCD
One Scum in: {faust, ADK}
Probably Town: Space
Town: Chairs

Between faust & ADK, I lean ADK - I'm not unhappy with his exile, although I would've preferred WCD.

Post by: WestCoastDidds on October 23, 2020, 03:48:57 pm
Okay, I'll look at what Galz says about me and about chairs,

But isn't it interesting that the person prosecuting me is Galz? Okay, my comments in bold in text.


WCD:

-snipped-

#514 is the first really interesting post D2. A simple, unexplained (initially) vote for Eevee. This is the second vote for Eevee, following EFHW's vote two posts prior. One would think WCD was sheeping EFHW here - which would be really, really weird given WCD's push of EFHW as scum herself starting in post #361. This absolutely feels like opportunistic early Bus Cred.

Let's look at post #549:
I’m reading and following along, but I’m super swamped right now my apologies for not bring more engaged. Hopefully I’ll be out from under soon.

For me, Eevee and EFHW are on the scummy side of the street. Chairs is close to them.

Space and Glooble somewhere in the middle. Galz I guess, too.

ADK, faust, and Dylan on the friendly side.
If we assume Eevee and WCD are partners, it's unlikely that Chairs is the third. I don't really see WCD putting both partners in the bottom 3, even if neither are in any serious danger. I would expect at most 1 in the bottom tier, and 1 in the middle tier (if she's underplaying her reads). Honestly though, I would expect 1 partner in the bottom/middle, and 1 in the top. WCD nightmare scenario is being the last scum alive. She doesn't throw both partners under the bus. This means that if she's partners with Eevee, my most expected third would be ADK or faust, with an outside chance of Space. The vote for Chairs in #620 "over Glooble or faust", which puts Chairs at 3 (to match the 3 on Glooble) almost - ALMOST secures the non-pair between WCD and Chairs. Caveat being Daychat.

**Now we know there is a forced choice in WCD/Chairs. My nightmare scenario still holds true. No way that chairs and I are scum together and I am pushing to get him exiled. But if I am town and chairs is scum, it works. 

Starting D3, WCD agrees with Eevee that we have to get the exile right - she then turns to EoD VCA on Glooble. What's odd here is that, despite WCD being on the Eevee train D2 (the mostly non-existent Eevee train, mind you), WCD concludes "I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list." Here's the entire quote, which includes the EoD wagon:
Adorable mutts getting whacked left and right! Ugh!

Alright people....eevee is spot on. We’ve got to get this right.

Here is the final vote count...I think at least 2 scum are on Glooble. Maybe even all three. ADK and chairs are pretty high on my list.


Glooble (6): faust, Robz888, ADK, chairs, Eevee, Space
chairs (2): Glooble, WCD
Eevee (1): EFHW

Not Voting (2): Dylan, Galz

Sooooo.... why the sudden change? And ADK had been a solid town read of WCD's for quite some time. Interesting VCA note from my PoV: With Glooble, Dylan and EFHW all being town, either WCD is scum, or in fact all three scum WERE on the Glooble wagon. With daychat that's not entirely implausible. Especially if faust is scum - he's more aware of VCA's use amongst f.ds players than anybody I know.

**Except if you are scum. Then the Glooble wagon makes sense according to your only 2 scum logic.



And then WCD's reads flip back again in #691/#692:
seems i'm a popular lynch candidate, i think it would be good for everyone to take a firm position on whether they think that's a good idea or not.

I think it's a bad idea and I don't understand where the sentiment is coming from

Then who’s on your list?

Quite frankly I'm starting to think it's you, sorry

Think harder, then, because we need to get this right and it’s not me.
Highest on my lists are eevee and space. Give those a think...

Like, where did this Space read come from? And now she's back to Eevee? This is all very inconsistent.

**So, you think Eevee is my partner and I am willing to be inconsistent in order to vote for him? If you had asked where the Space read had come from, I'd have answered. The Eevee read was correct.

The last thing I have here for WCD is that she is trying really, really hard today to make it seem like she was all over Eevee for being scummy earlier in the game when... the truth is that just wasn't the case. Yes, she voted Eevee D2, and spent much of the day with her vote parked there. She even has a few places where she tries to get discussion going on Eevee - but she's never fully committed to it, and it's at a time when Eevee is completely unlikely to be exiled. This feels a lot like scum trying to get credit for having scum reads on scum... without ever having *really* tried to get scum exiled.

**Really, really hard?  I said to ADK something along the lines of "this wasn't as certain as I remember it being" and then provided the quote where I said I thought Eevee was scummy. That isn't what "really, really hard" looks like but I see now that you are working pretty hard to make it look that way.

ISO'd out, WCD has a LOT of scum points against her.

Here is what Galz has to say about chairs.  It's nothing. He finds his votes scummy, but not as scummy as me. If you imagine chairs to be scum and read all of this the fact that all of the votes that Galz isolates are on town are more damning. No one could read this and say "oh yeah, chairs sure is scummy based on this" because unlike his other reads, Glaz provides almost no commentary here.  If I think of them as partners, it reads as way more sus but on its own Glaz provides NO reasons why someone might vote for chairs other than his votes which everyone was going to come to on their own anyway.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Chairs:

Fluff until #120. Then this:
Quote from: chairs link topic=20512.msg854240#msg854240 date=1601053192
Let's be real, scumteam is MiX/Chairs/Robz and we bribed the mod to fake-IC Robz.  ::)

Thoughts:
0. Swowl
Obviously secretly playing as the grassy knoll scummer.

1. Dylan
HOW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BY POST 56

2. WCD
First post - towny fluff.
IKR MIXIAN RESPONSE IS THE BEST.

3. EFHW
First post - towny fluff.
Next notable post is talking about liking cats despite being allergic. This is not very doglike behavior, EFHW, and I am disappointed.

4. ADK
First post calls out request for IC info. Means ADK read the setup. Reading the setup is scummy.
Votes MiX but feels the need to explain why. Explanations about MiX votes are for scum who want to feel better about wagoning their teammate (MiX, who is always scum). Scummy.
MIXIAN RESPONSE I love you, I'm not rewriting this post but you get a D1 pass now b/c I love this.
Tries to pair me as scum with mix. Is obviously trying to deflect from their own obvious pairing with mix.

5. Galz
Gets first post of D1, scummy. Eager to dig into MiX, known scum extraordinaire. Clearly D1 ploy to wagon a teammate for towncred. Scummy.
Votes Robz, confirmed Town.

6. Joseph

7. faust
Complicit in Swowl's plot to disenfranchise deserving dogs. Clearly a cat, and thus scum.
"Everybody wants to be a cat" notes. Everybody knows cats are stinky noodlebutts. DOG AM BEST BOI. SUPER SCUM.
Accuses mix of having trouble reading their own posts. I'm dying. Everyone knows cats don't have humor, so this must be a misdogerstanding.
votes ADK. ADK is the less obv of the obv!scum, so this is leaning me back towards dog-status more.

8. MiX
Tells Galz to trust his MiX!Radar. Neutral. We all have a great MiX!Radar, that being that MiX is always scum.
Votes EFHW. Thus, EFHW is Town.
Agrees with ADK voting MiX. IS MIX. Clearly a ploy to make scum!ADK look like town!ADK.
Votes EFHW... again? (reply 57). I can only assume this is some hardcore PR hunting.
Defends me. IS THIS THE RARE TOWN MIX? OR IS THIS A DIRTY CAT PLOY?

9. chairs
It's me! I'm amazing and practically perfect in every way.

10. Eevee
Trusting IC!Robz? Not a good look. Scum.
Fluffy? Good bois are fluffy and pettable. Maaaybe is dog?

11. Space
IS IN SPACE and thus a dog. Have you heard of any famous cats in space? NO. WE ONLY PUT GOOD DOGGOS IN SPACE. NO CAT.

12. Robz
IC.

13. Glooble
"Allergic to cats". Sounds like something a cat would say. Everyone knows even cats hate cats.
Votes me! Confirmed scum.

(14). Jotheonah
Killed N0 by Swowl. Basically John F Doggedy.



Okay I'm bored with that now, ran out of steam about post 84. Main takeaway? This game has had relatively little meat.

Specific notes in not-amusing-myself fashion:
MiX is bit fluffier than usual, which I actually think is a Town!MiX tell - I think scum!MiX kinda bares fangs a little quicker in the outset.
Eevee is stressing that Robz "reads me well" which feels a lil' scummy honestly.
XaL says vote: Dylan is a solid choice. Joseph also a good choice.
Robz as IC is great, because now I don't have to vote Robz off the island for being Robz, who I usually feel like plays a very scummy Town game (and a very scummy Scum game).
The way ADK has played off MiX makes me feel like ADK is kinda scummy.
faust comes off as, well, faust. I'd feel more towny about it from, say, Glooble, but for faust this is neutral.

JOHNNY FIVE NEEDS INPUT. More votes, folks.

Will try to read though stuff past 90 or so in a bit.
A lot of reads, some more serious than others. Slight scum read on Eevee this early stands out. His point isn't wrong - but I wouldn't expect it to get called out this early/quickly.

There aren't a lot of posts from Chairs, but he sheeps/votes a lot given the lack of overall posts. And he's all over the place. Take this post at #179:
Phone posting for like the next four days.

Not feeling good about this ADK situation that occurred. Feeling worse about the Galz situation.

Didds and MiX getting D1 passes from me

Followed by #308:
Vote: didds

Yeah that's a big ol nothing burger.

And #320:
MiX is sus. Haven't found a body but someone hit emergency meeting button. Gut feel.

Vote: mix

Or early(ish) on, in #262, when Chairs posts this:
Vote: glooble

I think the adk glooble interaction has me ready to vote one of them off the island and I think glooble has come off scummier in the interactions, personally.

And then this at #404:
Am I really lurking that much? Man, sorry. It doesn't feel like it on my end.

I think this it Town gloobs

I think the ADK argument from gloobs makes a lot of sense.

Vote: adk

In fact, Chairs votes for 6 unique people on D1, without doubling up on anybody. He then opens D2 voting for a 7th unique player (faust), before unvoting (#478) and casting his first repeat vote (#484) on Glooble. This then changes to an 8th unique player (me) in #547. For good measure, he got a vote on a Cop Caught Eevee D3 in #679, making 9 unique votes out of 12 cast.

It's almost as if he's just going off a checklist. This was post #478:
Okay good, my faust vote got d2 convos rolling. I can unvote now.

unvote

Leaning Gloobs but I want to actually take some time to reread.
Nobody else talked about faust or voted for him or did anything that even recognized the existence of the vote from the point in time he cast it (#455) to the above quote. It served no purpose, and didn't start any conversation. It's almost like Chairs has a quota to fill here.

And this, from #502, seems to confirm that Chairs is very aware of his play:
Question for chairs. What changed between here:

Vote: glooble

I think the adk glooble interaction has me ready to vote one of them off the island and I think glooble has come off scummier in the interactions, personally.

and here:

Am I really lurking that much? Man, sorry. It doesn't feel like it on my end.

I think this it Town gloobs

I think the ADK argument from gloobs makes a lot of sense.

Vote: adk

And now you're back on me again?



I'd love to hear some thoughts from Glooble on his D1 wagon.

Well, I've talked about ADK a lot. Robz is town. MiX was town. So that leave you, chairs and Space (taht's everyone who voted for me at all, I think.) See above for chairs- he goes back and forth between me and ADK in a way that I think it honestly pretty scummy. Space's initial vote for me reads like a joke vote. The weirdest thing is that they defend it like it was more serious than it initially appeared. Your vote doesn't come with a lot of explanation, I assume you just thought I was a better wagon than Joseph. But my wagon never had much substance to it.

Most likely scum is chairs I think. I'm still wary of ADK but my scumread on them has cooled somewhat, I think it was a little too emotionally motivated.

vote: chairs

PPE: faust voting for me

What happened mostly is that my votes and reads are mercurial, as always. This is not news ::) I always gutfeel my way through games, and I'm usually only really thinking about the last page or two of posts, tops, unless I have -just- read X pages (and even then, I find I just tie myself in knots if I don't just let everything flow like waves against the shore and see what treasure gets stuck in the sand).

And that's pretty much all from Chairs. Couple of votes for me each time it's brought up that I haven't posted.

His votes have also been extremely opportunistic, which I'll get into more in the VCA.

All in all, I would put him up there with WCD in terms of how scummy their individual ISO's are. This is true more for Chairs because of VCA (which will come next) than WCD, who is scummy because of her posts.

Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 5
Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 23, 2020, 05:04:12 pm
I've been going through Galz's ISO wall-post and his VCA from the end of D4. I realise Didds has also been doing the same thing, and may already have posted some of these points, but I've been grouping my observations by which hypothesis they support, so I hope you don't mind if I post all the items in my own format.

Factors in favour of scum!Didds/town!Chairs, from Galz's ISOing:
 a. WCD is more likely than most others to push for a MiX exile N1.
 b. WCD has opinions on all players at #97, rather than skipping anyone. I find this a real stretch as "scum" evidence goes, because I also always feel the pressure to be inclusive in these things, especially as town.
 c. WCD's #691/#692 suggests me or Eevee for scum, whereas before, she pointed at ADK and chairs. Actually, given that she was specifically reeling off the names at the end of the Glooble Mixile, I'm not that surprised, and don't see this as the big turnaround that Galz characterizes it as at all.
 d. Galz says that Didds is trying very hard to seem like she's been pushing Eevee while allegedly not being committed. Looking at my vote count history, she pushed EFHW more than anyone else, but did spend just over 100 posts of D3 on the Eevee wagon before switching to the Chairs wagon (which at that point contained Eevee and Glooble).

Factors in favour of scum!Chairs/town!Didds, from Galz's case:
 a. Eevee's post at #101 calling Didds townie.
 b. Eevee's reads post at #201 is more "middle ground" on Chairs and faust, so Galz concludes there's likely to be a scum there rather than in ADK.
 c1. Eevee only voting Chairs then Chairs wasn't much of a going concern, as noted in Galz's read commenting on post #398.
 c2. Commenting on the same post, Galz says he thinks his "WCD needle" is reading "slightly townier again".
 d. In the "WCD" reads section, Galz points out that WCD asked the same question about Joseph that Eevee had just asked, which isn't something scum-who-have-daychat would probably aim to do.
 e. In Galz's Chairs re-read, Galz comments on how spread-out Chairs's voting is, and how his overall behaviour is like he has a quota to fill.
 f. Galz specifically says that there's more evidence on Chairs for scumminess in the VCA, whereas all the evidence for Didds is in her posts (which I think aren't nearly as scummy as Galz makes out).

Other comments on Galz's mega-post:
 a. Galz's comment on #549 his WCD re-read starts "If we assume Eevee and WCD are partners...", which is a biased starting point given that he hasn't given much evidence at all that it's really valid to scumread her.
 b. Galz mentioned that "WCD has a LOT of scum points against her", but I feel like several of his points are very weak compared specifically to the scum!chairs points.
 c. Galz's read on ADK is extremely hedgey, which is fine for town who just doesn't know how to form a good opinion, but is at odds with the way he picks up a bunch of minor points of WCD and makes them into a scum-case. It's very consistent with a scum player who knows town is about to exile a townie and wants to gain extra credibility for his "reads".


And onto Galz's VCA at #833, which is after the ADK hammer:

Factors in favour of scum!Didds/town!Chairs, from Galz's case:
 a. WCD was the only unflipped person (from Galz's perspective in which he can count himself green) not on the Glooble wagon at #645.
   -- this would be weakish reasoning even if it didn't totally ignore the fact that none of the rest of us have a solid read on Galz.

Factors in favour of scum!Chairs/town!Didds, from Galz's case:
 a. The quick and opportunistic way that Chairs follows Robz and EFHW onto WCD at #308.
 b. Galz says that Chairs's move from Joseph (whose wagon also contained Eevee) to ADK (wagon with only EFHW) at #404 didn't look good.
    -- I don't think it looks like much of anything, except possibly if Galz is scum, in which case it makes sense not to want all three scum to end up on Joseph.
   -- Not sure why Galz is using this as a point against Chairs.

Other comments on Galz's VCA post:
 a. He concludes by saying that WCD is by far the scummiest, whereas my re-read of his ISO reads of Didds, Chairs and Eevee doesn't count up nearly as many scum!Didds points from Galz as scum!Chairs points.
 b. The "ideal scum voting spread" that Galz attributes to WCD is mainly predicated around the fact that Galz colours himself green. This thing that Galz presents as a big case against WCD should essentially mean nothing to the rest of us for whom Galz is still an unknown entity.
 c. An Eevee-Galz-Chairs scumteam has one point in the game where all three were on the same player (Joseph) D1, but Chairs was last to join and first to leave, which is entirely consistent with someone caring about VCA and suggesting in day-chat that he might want to move again.


Lastly, factors in favour of scum!Didds/town!Chairs, from me:
 a. Eevee votes Chairs for quite a while in the middle of D2, including when Chairs is the biggest wagon (early in the day, at 3 votes). However, this isn't super-strong evidence, because meanwhile Didds is on an Eevee wagon, so scum is bussing here either way around.

And factors in favour of scum!Chairs/town!Didds, from me:
 a. Eevee's move onto the Glooble wagon at the end of D2 locked us into a Glooble exile when Chairs was the next-most-likely wagon.
     -- Eevee had previously been on the Chairs wagon when it looked small and harmless.
 b. Chairs's quick-hammer of ADK was really unnecessary. Meanwhile, Didds was evidently online and posting at around that time, but did not choose to join the IC-approved mixile wagon.

To summarise, from my point of view, there are four possible scum-pairings, given that we have to have at least one scum in {Chairs, Didds}:

Chairs-Galz: This one makes sense with Galz's biased re-reading of Chairs with respect to Didds.
Didds-faust: This one could be a possibility, though I do townread faust.
Chairs-faust: Less likely, given faust's willingness to go for Chairs here.
Didds-Galz: Highly unlikely given how much Galz is trying to get Didds exiled.

I feel like I'm seeing a split where the top two pairings are already looking more likely than the lower two, i.e. each of the "doctors" has one partner more likely than the others.

You’ll notice that I approached every player looking for scum narratives, not town ones. To say I opened on any specific player with a bias in judgement isn’t true to the intent of the reread. I was looking for scum in every player. Some players that narrative didn’t fit, and I ended up town reading them. Others, it fit quite well.

So. These are the things that were said towards the end of the last Day about Didds:

In the span of 3 posts, Didds has shattered my conviction that ADK is the better exile.
Didds is also a top candidate for being scum.
That leaves me feeling the following:

Scum: WCD
One Scum in: {faust, ADK}
Probably Town: Space
Town: Chairs
Scum to chum:
Didds
Galz
faust
Space
I am fine with this exile and glad it wasn't dragged out any longer.

My suspicions at this point are basically Didds or chairs.

That is, every single living player except herself expressed a scumread on Didds (the only player who didn't was ADK).

Now why would scum send her into a 1v1? It's basically guaranteed she loses. All this achieves is a scum exile and I guess outing the Doctor. But we were going to have claims today anyways, so they didn't need to do it for that reason. If there is only a single Doctor claim then that person still isn't ICfied, which all in all seems like the much better outcome. And if they did want to make it a 1v1, they could have chosen the other scum for it.

I feel like scum!faust wouldn't have made that last point about scum!Didds, because if the two of them are in cahoots, because following any sort of conversation in the scum QT about likely outcomes for today, that would have to just seem like too weak an observation.

If they're not both scum, then Chairs-Galz seems to me like the most likely pairing. However, of the two remaining possibilities, Chairs-faust seems a lot more possible than Didds-Galz, meaning that Chairs is the most scummy common denominator.

People pushing the scum!Didds case, who do you think the corresponding third scum is, or at least what's the likelihood of each of the other possibilities from your point of view?

There are so few possible pairings left for most of us (except perhaps Robz) that I feel like we really should be able to evaluate three-way partner interactions for any given set.

This applies to everybody? I am confused. I think I was one of the first people to express suspicion on Didds, so saying I did it because she was scumread by everyone else is just plain wrong. And if I gave her up for dead already, why defend her now?

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 25, 2020, 08:50:09 am
Here are a couple of early posts where faust (whom I'm currently ISOing) is suspicious of Chairs, and Didds is brought up first as a wagon target, and second as a person querying faust's consistency:

Meep. The Joseph wagon is understandable, with all the inconsistency. But I really doubt they are the kind of player to claim VT in that spot as scum.

Non-Joseph votes really need to consolidate. Is noone liking chairs? The way he hopped onto the Didds wagon just to immediately abandon it is was pretty suspicious.

faust, you said chairs was scummy for the vote bouncing around yesterday. EFHW did the same thing plus another vote/invite on MiX and snapped at me for voting for her. Is that les scummy than chairs?
Yes. With EFHW I can see why she voted and unvoted when she did, and that largely seems to make sense.

I don't think those interactions feel partnered to me, even though this is early-game stuff where scum still had daychat, so it's tough to be sure. For example, if scum had been trying to use the comparison between scummy-looking Chairs and alledgedly-similar-looking EFHW, why not then develop that towards a scumread on EFHW?

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 25, 2020, 09:14:41 am
Okay, I know I said I'm ISOing faust, but I got side-tracked into checking votes on a wagon, and from there I revisited Eevee's vote in  D2 for Chairs at #511, which is noteworthy because it made Chairs the leading wagon:

Looking more at the #385-#423 period, the only vote to happen in there was that Chairs moved from Joseph to ADK at #404. That seems to make a Chairs-Glooble scum partnership unlikely, since it reduces the main competing wagon, making the Glooble-wagon joint-largest.

If Chairs is scum, that would put more suspicion on ADK and (from my point of view) faust, and make Glooble more townie. I think that's worth considering, since I feel like Chairs is playing a kind of different game to normal. Can other people who've played more with Chairs recently reassure me that he's not seeming odd?
I also think he's off. Never a fan of the "I'm just erratic" defense, either.

Vote: chairs

Voting following Eevee's post looks like this:
Chairs (3): A Drowned Kernel, Glooble, Eevee
EFHW (1): WestCoastDidds
Glooble (2): Chairs, faust
Not Voting (5): Dylan32, EFHW, Galzria, SpaceAnemone, Robz888

Eevee should have been aware of the voting distribution, because there was a VC about 15 posts earlier, though in the intervening time one vote had moved off Chairs, and another vote had joined, but 15 posts isn't so much to keep track over.

Anyway, when looking at the raw wagons, this is really the one thing that looks to be in Chairs's favour when it comes to not being partnered with Eevee. However, reminding myself of the context in which the vote was dropped, it doesn't seem like the kind of vote scum!Eevee wouldn't have dropped just for distancing, given that I wasn't the only person expressing that Chairs was behaving oddly. And as I've noted before, if we have scum!Didds instead of scum!Chairs, there's also bussing going on around this point in the game, because Didds votes Eevee before Eevee's vote is moved away from Chairs, and the latter doesn't happen until Eevee locks us into the Glooble mixile at the end of D2.

I mean the biggest thing that makes me suspect Faust is Didds partner is that he is still alive this late in the game. And it’s not like scum had other people to kill, they even let me live.

I've stayed quiet because honestly I was flabbergasted and I just don't know what to say here. Scum!Didds came pretty much out of left field for me, I was thinking like faust/Galz. I was thinking the former because, as noted, he is alive, which is a scumtell for faust, and the latter because he's been unusual for Galz this game... although perhaps this is mostly the VLA sticking in my craw.

I said this yesterday....but for the folks ISOing chairs, I think it is worth noting that he is being much nicer (to me at least) than usual.  If he is partners with Galz, which I think he is, then that is good advice and something Glaz certainly knows.  I am easy to buddy and it keeps me back on my heels.

However, the best evidence that I am the doctor is this set of exchanges where in I explain that I tried to lay low so that I wouldn't be killed early because (the last time I was the doctor) that happened and it was awful.  If you read this knowing I am the doctor, it is a really clear statement about my motives. I assumed that after faust made the point that if my play had gotten worse (the second quoted box here) and I responded that in that game I had been the doctor, and he subsequently dropped this line of discussion that he probably knew I was the doc.  In fact, I assumed I had screwed up so badly that everyone knew I was the doctor.  I think Space did...her quote (last box) seems like her trying to give me some cover.

Galzy, some of the posts you find scummy are just me trying to get better at forming and articulating reads. It’s a work in progress. In my last game, scum killed me early because I was active so I’ve been trying to be less rando, but you know me....I kind of live for the chatter.
So... you've been trying to be more lurky in order to avoid the nightkill?

The is so incredibly anti-town I don't even know what to say.

I feel like that's a misrepresentation of what didds was trying to say there

How so?

I’m not saying that I’m trying to be less present, I think I have largely succeeded in being present this game even though I was swamped at the beginning.

I’m trying to be less random and post with purpose. I like to talk so my inclination is to post whatever whenever because talking is fun and you all are interesting people. Turns out that is annoying to many. Further, one of my challenges is that I think by writing so I end up starting posts without knowing what my point is until I’ve written through it. I’m trying to do that less because when asked to explain later why I said a particular thing, only some people understand what I mean when I say I didn’t really have a point and that isn’t scummy, it’s just me. I obviously still do this to some extent, but I’m working on having better arguments and not just having random responses in the same way that I’m working in reasons instead of just feelings.

As for trying to avoid the NK...yes. I did/do not want to be killed. In that game, it was frustrating to be killed early on in the only game going at the time, and then to discover it’s because I was playing in a particular way led me to consider how I might improve.

PPE: yes, ADK. Thank you.

Well, it's just... if scum kills you N1, then that means you played a good game. Surviving until now means you played worse (or, you know, are scum). So you didn't improve, you got worse.

In that game I was the doctor. It was devastating.

While I recognise that you're not openly saying you're not a doctor in this game, it might be worth noting that it's almost certainly not in town's interests to be talking about who is and isn't a doctor here, in case scum gets better PoE than they already have.

Couple of other random thoughts before I head out for the day...

Also, look at chairs votes and look at my votes. 

I was voting for Eevee, and being vocal about that read before anyone else was.  You all know that isn't how I play as scum.  Not when there are so many other choices. chairs on the other hand hammered ADK, and is present on town wagons frequently.

Finally, I think faust being still alive means he is scum is apocryphal.  He is not the default N1 kill anymore (happens to MiX and e more), although this idea that if hes alive he's scum is used against him frequently.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 25, 2020, 06:23:04 pm
Another point in favour of town!faust: he actually spent quite a few posts defending me from ADK's scum!Space theories. Does an Eevee-faust-{Chairs,Didds} scum-team go out of its way to tell ADK they're wrong, rather than riding on incorrect town sentiment that's likely to generate at least as many mixiles? Is white-knighting me actually worthwhile?

(or EFHW I guess, that wagon was also kind of viable at the time)

This. There's two possible partners for space to be deflecting from
So if Space was scum partnered with EFHW (let's assume that Glooble is town) then does it make sense for Space to switch votes from Glooble to Joseph when they did? I am not convinced. All that achieves is create a situation where instead of 2 town wagons vs 1 scum wagon you have 1 town wagons vs 1 scum wagon. And let's not forget that Space was on the IC-approved wagon at the time.

Basically, I don't think your narrative for scum!Space makes much sense. Unless Glooble is scum. But since it only holds any water if Glooble is scum, you should be going after Glooble.

Later on in D2, faust got quite fixated on a particular snapshot of the D1 Glooble wagon, and this was one place where I got quite paranoid that scum!faust could play us by relying on me to go for wagon analysis to the exclusion of other reads, and push through exiles on the other townies on the list before faust:
Glooble (4): ADK, Space, faust, Robz888
This wagon snippet he quotes persisted from #385-#423, with the overall D1 hammer coming at #427 on the Joseph wagon.

Now, if the Galz-Chairs-Eevee hypothesis holds up, then this wagon was indeed four-towns-on town. I think it's not so far-fetched, though. A normal four-towns-on-town wagon can happen quite readily in D1 of a game this size; faust was already pointing out that this was exceptional because it was endorsed by the IC. I don't actually have stats from previous f.ds games that specifically look at IC-endorsed wagons, but I think it's fair to assume that four-towns-on-town would be less common in an IC-endorsed wagon that otherwise.

However the missing piece of context from earlier is the competing wagon on Joseph at the time. Dylan's case on Joseph was solid, and Joseph had provably misrepresented himself to the thread. I think that might be an even more defensible-looking place for scum votes than the wagon with the IC on it, especially given that already in D1 people were throwing shade around at people who were seen to be just sheeping the IC.

tl;dr The game still makes sense if all the people on that Glooble wagon were town, and if several scums were all together on the Joseph wagon.

Sorry.. that last post made two kind of separate points and I should probably have split it down. [And now to compound that, I've gone off and done other stuff while this post has been sitting half-written in a tab!]

The other thing that's definitely worth noting: a lot of Galz's case for town!Chairs seemed to centre on expecting scum to be nicely distributed across wagons, rather than all piled onto one. This is not necessarily so important in the early game, where we know they had daychat to coordinate things, but also, I think we now have proof that at least two, if not all three, of the scumteam were on the Joseph wagon, which just makes an argument based on scum never doubling up look suspicious.

This is because when Eevee joined the Joseph wagon at #285, both Galz and faust were already on there. Unless you want to make a serious case for Didds and Chairs both being scum together even after the doctor counterclaim, then this represents a doubling-up of scum on the Joseph wagon. Chairs was also on the wagon at the same time later on, so it's possible that if the Galz-Chairs-Eevee hypothesis is correct, then all three scum were on Joseph, and at the very least, both faust and Eevee were there.

True, it's more likely overall that we'd see two scum at once on a wagon rather than three, but there are other points in the game where we do probably see two:
From #97 all the way up to #174, both faust and Didds were on ADK, so even if you support the Didds-faust hypothesis, this leads to doubling-up.
From #633, Chairs, Eevee and faust were all on the Glooble EoD2 wagon, and it seems almost certain that at least one of Chairs and faust is a teammate with Eevee.
At #722, Eevee was self-voting, and both Chairs and Didds were also on there, giving at least two scum on the wagon if we assume at least one in {Chairs,Didds}.

So yeah, I'm heavily leaning towards Chairs-Galz being the leading possibility, with a Chairs exile being the most likely to hit scum because of how much more likely Chairs-faust is than Galz-Didds.

@Robz, I feel like you might still lean faust-Didds rather than Galz-Chairs. If that's the case, have you taken a look at Galz's D4 Didds case and checked back to see whether you agree that his points are fair, as I tried to do in #904? I came into today almost convinced that faust had to be scum, but reading how thin Galz's Didds case is compared to what evidence he's using to "clear" Chairs really made me rethink it. (And it also helps that the doctor claim really narrows the pairing possibilities down, at least for me).

Still think a Galzria exile should be on the table. From my perspective, there is 1 scum in {Galz, Space} and one in {Didds, chairs}, and I am significantly more confident in choosing from the former pairing. I do realize however that from Robz's point of view the chances might be worse here.

Right, for me, there is an extra option in there that makes it worse. Between just space and Galzria I would exile Galzria.

I'd like to hear from each of our Doctors who they think the second scum is, and why.

I think its Galz/chairs. That huge wall of text with his rereads, once I looked more carefully at it, was a super biased view cloaked in objectivity.  It looks objective because he read everyone and had a ton of quotes, etc.  But when I pulled my part out, all of the arguments that he was making about me were exceedingly specious. He would characterize me as trying "really, really hard" at doing something that was just a point of conversation, etc.  I already explained all that in my super long wall post of his wall post.  Space did the same thing a couple of posts later. 

For me, that wall post is the scummiest thing that has happened in the game, by far.  Additionally, he has been unwavering in his chairs support today. He posted that he was grabbing his computer to read, but then nothing. He hasn't even entertained for a moment that chairs could be scum, and with the game state where it currently is, that is super irresponsible.

I don't think that Space is the second scum mostly because she took the time to really dig through that post, too, and came to similarly scummy conclusions about the same things I do, but she started doing that before she knew that I was doing the same or had seen my points. (The posts appeared too closely together for Space to have started theirs after they had read mine.)

I don't think that you (faust) are the second scum because your attempts to defend me would be unnecessary and counter productive if your were chairs' partner. 
I think the situation where all 4 townspeople have to vote together is really interesting. No way that scum busses here. So the fact that you are currently voting for chairs further clears you.

There are 6 people left...if I get exiled that leaves 3 v 2. After a successful Robz NK, scum wins.  So, exiling me is for all the marbles as far as scum is concerned.  They are all in, and the person who has done the most work to get me exiled is Galz.

PPE: faust vote

Vote: Galzy

Huh, I'm struggling here! My preffered exile is still Chairs, but we're three days out from deadline, so there's no need to rush into anything. We can even wait a couple more days for Galz to come back and say stuff.

I'm seriously asking you to please go and form an opinion on Galz's wall post so that you can join in a discussion of it on here. It's all very nice that Didds and faust apparently agree with me, but with Didds-faust being the main feasible alternative to Galz-Chairs, I don't trust either of them to find any flaws in my thinking. I would like you to take along all your pre-existing scum!Didds bias, see whether you agree with Galz, and if so, to tell me I'm wrong :-)

Okay, I thought about it some more and I think this is the right call. We have to get it right today or we lose, yeah?

Perhaps more importantly, scum already know that I am the doc because I was blocked N3 when I doctored EFHW (it’s been Rob all the other nights). So, we should have as much information as they do and it should improve our VCA (although I haven’t been on any of the mixiles so not as helpful as it could be.)

Reread and it’s obvious, especially since I pretty much as much in the conversation with faust about why I was trying to avoid being nightkilled.

If scum already knew you were the Doctor, scum would’ve killed you last night instead of risking you Doctoring their intended kill.

I think we only spotted that both the town and possible scum RBs had to be dead after the doctor claims, though, right? So it's kind of townie of Didds just to assume she was RBd, whereas a scum imposter who's discussed how to make a kill on EFHW go through would be more sure of whether scum has a strongman or a rolestopper to make that happen. So I think scum!Didds would have had to be pretty devious to deliberately make that statement, whereas for town!Didds it's just a simple error because RB is the more common role.

Of course, if there's no doctoring going on at all, and Didds and Chairs are both scum, then there's no reason for those conversations to have taken place in the scum QT... but then we're back to a situation where it's also perfectly sensible to exile Chairs first.

I feel like I should reread Space to quell my paranoia that they might be playing us all.

Early on Space joins the Glooble wagon with Robz and ADK. chairs joins a bit later. Well this is all early and small wagons, I think partners might join the same wagon at this stage.

For a while, the Joseph wagon has Eevee and chairs on it, then chairs leaves and shortly after Space joins that wagon. This doesn't seem to be partner interaction, even if you would want to have the whole scumteam on a wagon you probably wouldn't do this hop-off, hop-on interaction. Space also had the option to stay on Glooble to potentially get the exile through instead, and didn't.

So I moved to Joseph. When am I usually not willing to vote for Joseph?
I don't particularly like the self-awareness here, it reads like Space got on Joseph because they knew they'd get away with it.

In this post (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg855048#msg855048), Space build a case on chairs while being sort of hedgy about Didds. This furthers my thinking that Space would be Didds' partner rather than chairs'.

Yeah, we left MiX alive and misfiring to great effect there
This also kind of read like subtly implying that you're not the scum here without being really open about it. Maybe it's just my paranoia talking.

Space is poking little needles in my reasoning for a while there. I don't think that did a whole lot, but it helps Space to keep some distance from the Glooble wagon. Then Space tries to push through a chairs exile over Glooble, which is at least some further evidence that they're not in cahoots.

Does anyone think it's at all likely that neither faust nor ADK is scum here?
Certainly don't like that D3 opening. Trying to limit the pool to 2 townies.

Not much more is happening apart from Space helping to push through the ADK exile. Then today follows with a lots of analysis and stuff. It's curious that this didn't come Day 4, you know, after the death of a scum.

I can't say I'm exactly assuaged after this reread, but at least I don't think it's Space/chairs.

I will vote for chairs or Galz.  I moved to Galz yesterday after you said that you would consider exiling him over chairs, and then faust thought that might be a better way to go. There is zero inconsistency in my votes.  I know that chairs is scum and I strongly suspect that Galz is. Since all 4 town have to vote together, I am open to either of those.  I am not trying to be cagey, cryptic, or indecisive.

Partner pairings:

Didds/faust - maaaaybe? Faust did come out strong against me Today, and a misexile today wins the game for scum, so I can kind of see it.
Didds/galz - Only really feasible if Galz is playing the long game, writing Didds off as likely a lost cause, and hoping to win Tomorrow.

Beyond that, from your perspective at least, I think it’s pretty clear that it’s very likely either {Chair, Galz}, or {WCD, faust (honorable outside possibility of {WCD, Chairs}, but for many reasons that’s unlikely). Actions today speak volumes to that.

I made my case yesterday on why I thought WCD was scum. WCD has charged that I was setting up the argument of “WCD vs Chairs” yesterday, which makes no sense as I wouldn’t have known she was the Doctor in that scenario. She’s claimed that scum DID know she was a Doctor which, again, makes no sense as scum would’ve killed her instead of risking the NK be doctored. She’s claimed to be willing to vote me to “get an exile through”, which, given she knows 100% Chairs is scum (in her town world) and CANNOT say the same for me is ridiculous.

But honestly the most compelling thing for me is the iso and vote counts surrounding Eevee. There’s nothing there that screams “WCD is scum”, but there IS stuff that screams “Chairs is town”.

If I were voting and ignoring everything Eevee did/was associated with this game, I would vote Chairs over WCD here. Certainly the play this game day has been stronger from WCD. But I’m not. Eevee all but guaranteed Chairs to be town. As my only hard piece of evidence to go on, I’m not changing my vote.

Also, I think you’re seeing a result of it not generally mattering right now.

I know I’m town.
Faust knows he’s town.

If we’re ruling out Space, then unless either of us thinks {WCD, Chairs} is likely, there’s little else for us to consider. Hence, Faust would argue, his vote on me (which ignores that there’s SOME chance Space is scum, but nevermind that).

WCD and Chairs should both be considering between {Me, faust, Space}, but again, that’s not relevant to either of them right now as they each know that the other claimed Doctor is lying.

You, Robz, and maybe Space, are the only two that the question arguably matters to at this time. I don’t think you’re seeing anything more than an irrelevance factor at this time.

Right. It frankly matters very little whether it's Galz or Faust (or even Space) for that matter. Didds and I are both claiming doctor. One of us (Didds) is lying. Even if you think scum is {Didds, faust} or {chairs, Galz} it makes MORE sense to focus on picking the right one (Didds) of the two of us.

I am not lying and chairs knows it.

Saying am lying over and over again doesn’t make it any more true. It’s not an argument and doesn’t and there is no way to evaluate a repeated assertion other than it is an assertion.   

I agree that the most direct exile is to oust the fake claim {chairs} and then they can sort out tomorrow if Galz is the last scum.

Galz is wrong....chairs interactions with Eevee don’t vindicate him. One of the best examples of chairs acting in concert with Eevee was getting caught on his wagon. Chairs started D3 by voting for Galz. Then he moves to eevee. D3 is only 3 pages (for me 27-29) and chairs doesn’t have a single post that isn’t immediately preceded or followed immediately by a post from Eevee or Galz. It sure reads like a day chat/thread chat collaboration. Here is the eevee vote:

I might not have time until Tuesday, but I will go through and specify more about why Eevee is our best bet for scum today, imo.

I mean I can see the Eevee argument myself, and since Galz has appeared and promised to post...


Vote: eevee

Oddly, this post is immediately followed by

seems i'm a popular lynch candidate, i think it would be good for everyone to take a firm position on whether they think that's a good idea or not.

Huh? Only chairs was voting for eevee and the day was just beginning.
 

Chairs’ post obvi says nothing AND they had daychat so it was just no risk bussing him. It was early in the day so NBG. Plus, there was cover like this:

Eevee... man, Eevee actually does not sound like scum!Eevee to me.

Later that day, EFHW posted her result and Eevee was exiled 20 minutes later. Chairs couldn’t have moved off of eevee if he wanted and if you think  it helped give him any cred, then I should get the same cred for hammering eevee.

Chairs behavior that day, is way more suspicious than mine.  Don’t ISO him....just reread that day. Knowing there was daychat makes the extensive back and forth.

I am the doctor. There is nothing to suggest otherwise, I haven’t pushed any scummy exiles or positions. Galz’s wall post is an a biased attempt to paint me in a bad light.

Robz thinks my doc targets were lame, and that makes them unlikely. Galz thinks I’m dense for not figuring out what other roles exist that could have led to EFHWs death even though I doctored her. Both of these are because I’m not awesome at knowing what to do or how things works, but not because I am lying. Space and faust have both pointed out that each of these makes sense with regard to me.

Finally, when faust said he was 70% sure we should claim, I asked what the 30% risk was. After Robz made his doctor statement, I was actively trying to figure it out if it was time to claim. I’ve lost us games before doing it too early so I didn’t want to reveal it too early. (This is in addition to the discussion on D4 where I explained why I didn’t want to be night killed (because I am the doctor).

I’m not trying to work anyone over. I think there is a better case for me being the doctor and a better case for chairs being scum, with actual evidence, than the inverse.

Chairs hasn’t made any arguments about me being scum. Galz is taking that bullet, which is why it looks to me like they are working together.

TBH, I'm not used to being so widely townread, especially by the likes of Robz.

However... I am the Tracker. At first, I thought I was doing a pretty terrible job of tracking, because all I've had are null results. I think I'm pretty much guaranteed to have hit scum at least half the time, though, it's just that either they haven't targeted that night, or blocking shenanigans have happened, though the latter is less likely than I might have thought at first.

N1: Eevee -- he was on what I considered to be the scummiest position on the Joseph exile. I tried to breadcrumb that I thought he was more innocent going into D2 because I'd had a null result (see the middle of post #459).
N2: faust -- after Glooble flipped town, I was worried about the "one scum in {ADK, faust}" likelihood, especially because faust has been heavily pushing Glooble and refusing to scrutinise ADK when the wagon evidence alone didn't warrant it, and even though I'd pushed him for reasons behind being so set on Glooble in-thread.
N3: Galz -- he was terribly awol, and I know my frustration with his lack of interaction with the game was showing in-thread. However, an absent scum can still be puppeted by present scumbuddies in the scum QT, so it seemed worth a shot, and it seemed like the only possible way to get alignment-indicative content from him.
N4: faust -- as I said, going into the night, I really thought faust-Didds seemed like the most likely pairing, and with Didds topping most people's scum lists, I figured that faust would be more likely to take the targeted action, given that if they're the scum pair then they know there's a tracker out there.

As I said, all of these were identically null results.

The existence of my role does mean that scum has a two-shot role-stopper, which is how they presumably killed EFHW N3: role-stopping her to prevent the doctor shot from taking, and then using a regular NK to get the job done. That means there is one rolestopper shot unaccounted for, i.e. my target could have been rolestopped on at most one night. I haven't actually confirmed with Swowl whether his interpretation of the "twice at night" means both shots could have been used on different targets on N3, or whether it needs to be different night. For scum to end up no-killing last night, I suspect it means that both rolestopper shots have now been used.

Note that from N3 when scum pulled out the stops to take EFHW down, there's no point in them using their godfatherer shot, so that makes the expected number of scum targets per night lower. When I tracked faust in N2, the godfatherer could still have been expected to be using shots, whereas when I tracked Galz N3, if he is the godfatherer (which I think is likely, with Chairs being the Siamese Cat) then there was no point in him targeting, since the godfatherer shot only protected them from EFHW's role and she was guaranteed to be out of the game.

Vote: Chairs

I still prefer Chairs as an exile over Galz, because Chairs-faust looks far more possible to me than Galz-Didds, so there's no point in taking Galz down before Chairs from my point of view.

The fact that everyone in this game, including the scum, evidently want us all to be forced to presume that the team is either didds/faust or chairs/Galz... should give greater pause!

TBH, I was quite interested in getting people to polarize early in the day, in case it led to some interesting twisting around with respect to who'd exile whom later on. And I do think we're in an interesting position where not considering full partner interactions is a mistake because there's a lot of second-order info out there. Sorry it gives you more work to do than the rest of us, though!

Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 5
Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 28, 2020, 08:17:22 am
Why did I claim? Because everyone seems to be exhibiting end-of-game fatigue and this is crunch time. I didn't have any good reason think we had any other PRs out there, because the current complement seemed sufficient to explain all the goings-on in the game.

In particular, Galz and Robz have got to low-effort "I think this" and "this is known" kind of conversation that means I'm getting less and less optimistic about Robz putting in the effort to revisit Galz and his Didds case from D4 and re-examine any evidence afresh, rather than going on hunches remembered from earlier on. I feel like there's still evidence and discussion to be had, and I think it's useful to draw out a crunch day to make scum squirm, but it's not useful if town starts getting antsy and disengaged too, and I feel like that's the direction people are being pulled in, so I wanted to put some fresh information into the game to force people back into critical thinking.

Your claim is interesting, and probably true. The only reason for scum!faust to try to sway me from calling the scumteam Galz-Chairs is if the real team is faust-Chairs, which I've always said is an outside chance, but faust-Didds looked way more likely if faust is scum. Either way, I'm confident that Chairs is the correct exile.

Take a look at the actual earlier-game posts that Didds made that make him conclude she's scummy, and there's next to nothing there at all that points to scum.

I went through the whole of his really long post point by point (my post in response to his is #904 (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20512.msg856257#msg856257)), grouping them into things that supported a scum!Didds argument and things that supported a scum!Chairs argument, and really, the things that support scum!Chairs far outweigh scum!Didds, and so the confidence with which he makes his town!Chairs claim is deeply suspicious to me, and I want a second trustworthy opinion.

I’ve read and re read it, and I think it could very well be scum!Galz building a false case on Didds, or scum!Galz building an incidentally correct case on a partner, for town points after this flip. I think by this time it would have been apparent to them that Didds is going down before Galz.

You don't think Space's claim is suspicious? I look at it and think there is no good reason for town!Space to make that claim. For for scum!Space... they don't know which of me/Galz is the 1-shot BP. If noone claims Tracker and Galz claims 1-shot BP, then that ICs him (due to EFHW's death we know that scum has some way to circumvent Doctors). So then Space's whole case here would fall apart and there is a significant threat that their partner would be the exile instead. This certainly looks like Space trying to preempt such a scenario by preventing Galz from becoming an IC. The claim was also made just when Galz became a viable exile.

The town!Space narrative not only has the problem that the claim doesn't make sense; it's also asking us to believe a) that Space targeted 2 scum, both of which had targeting powers beyond the nightkill and yet never got a result. b) that scum has 3 shots worth of preventing Doctor protection but somehow failed to kill you.

Well, eh. If we exile the fake Doctor and scum!Space doesn't fakeclaim here then tomorrow it's 1v1. A lot can happen there. I doubt the game looks like as much of a lock from a scum!Space perspective. Didds is the most likely partner for Space and it looks like she's gonna be the exile if we decide to exile a Doctor.

And I don't buy town!Space being confused, like, at all. There is no way in the world town!Space wouldn't have weighed he possible outcomes of a claim like that. And I find it hard to see a way in which they would arrive at the conclusion that it's a good thing to do.

Like, this. You know how much of a numbers person Space is. Given the information supposedly available to them. These are the number of calculating how likely it is that there's another PR (assuming, again, town!Space):

50% chance of each of Modification 3 and 5 being present. There are, a priori, 4 equally likely outcomes: No additional mod, only mod 3, only mod 5, both mod 3 and mod 5. Now, both cannot be present since only one of me/Galz can be town. So there is 3 equally likely outcomes, 2 of which lead to another PR. I.e. the chance of another PR is 67%. Now sure you could argue that the sheer number of VT flips brings this down, but I don't see how you'd arrive at "no good reason to think we had any other PRs".

We are just approaching this game in completely different ways. I'm not hung up on partner hunting, because I think everybody left is savvy enough to have had non-incriminating partner interactions, especially because we've been in a place for a while that bus-and-then-survive has looked like a pretty good scum option.

Didds' claim has unfolded in a manner I expect a scum claim to unfold. Chairs' has not. I'm not 100% confident on that though, and yeah there will be more re-reading to do. I'm just not in this mode of "we MUST figure out the partner now," since this will be pointless work if we're wrong.

But vastly beyond that it doesn't matter because these two subsequent claims basically corner Galz as scum. Or at least I'm more confident on that than a Didds vs chairs guess.

Cool - so faust is IC now as well! (Ok, to me anyway)

N3: If you Tracked me and got no result, either I'm town (hint hint), or the only possible way this happens AND the kill goes through a Doctor is if there exists a Strongman - because in this scum!Galzria scenario, either the Doctor was RB'd (in which case you would've seen me RB the Doctor OR perform the kill on EFHW), or YOU were RB'd, in which case the kill on EFHW must have been Strongman.

And with faust being IC (to me now), that means the scum team is either:

{WCD, Space}, {Chairs, Space}, reaaaaaaaaaaly unlikely {WCD, Chairs}.

That means there is one rolestopper shot unaccounted for, i.e. my target could have been rolestopped on at most one night. I haven't actually confirmed with Swowl whether his interpretation of the "twice at night" means both shots could have been used on different targets on N3, or whether it needs to be different night. For scum to end up no-killing last night, I suspect it means that both rolestopper shots have now been used.

Note that from N3 when scum pulled out the stops to take EFHW down, there's no point in them using their godfatherer shot, so that makes the expected number of scum targets per night lower. When I tracked faust in N2, the godfatherer could still have been expected to be using shots, whereas when I tracked Galz N3, if he is the godfatherer (which I think is likely, with Chairs being the Siamese Cat) then there was no point in him targeting, since the godfatherer shot only protected them from EFHW's role and she was guaranteed to be out of the game.

The truth is, I've been waiting for a Bullet Proof claim. It's what makes the most sense for EFHW's death. Why? Because if there is NOT a Strong-Man, then the only way for EFHW to have been killed is for the Doctor to have been Role Stopped. If this was the case, then there is NO REASON for there to have been no-kill last night. Scum would've killed the Doctor. The only logical reason EFHW died is that there is a Strongman.

Faust should be IC to pretty much everybody because his existence is the only reasonable explanation for us to be exactly where we're at right now.

You don't think Space's claim is suspicious? I look at it and think there is no good reason for town!Space to make that claim.

You seem to think that I'm claiming to IC myself, which is missing the point. Everyone was already townreading me, except that possibly you're residually suspicious, which is fine given that I'm suspicious of you in general, and have been cautious enough of you in this game that I've tracked you twice.

Anyway, what my post gave was a list of people I'd tracked with no outcome, because I want people to propose stuff that makes sense with that list, and because as I said we're at crunch time, and I think this whole game really should get solved now.

As for numbers, yes a priori the various additions were each equally likely to exist, but given the current state of play, with so few players left alive, it seems less likely that all surviving townies have PRs. This is especially true given that knowing my role exists already explained why the scumteam would be able to force a kill through on a doctored player, so no further complications were necessary for the game to make sense.. therefore the simple explanation was the one with fewer town PRs miraculously surviving this long. Sure, it's kind of marginal, which is why I'm perfectly content believing you now.

I'm sorry that your role has been outed unnecessarily if you though I was just going for an IC-status-grab that you then wanted to be sure was fully negated. However, I really don't think town loses anything by you coming forward now, because it's so unlikely you'd have been an NK target given there's a genuine IC a very likely doc, and a confirmed-from-scum's-PoV tracker out there for them to target.

PPE 28 because this post got mostly-written hours ago but then other stuff happened.
Title: Re: M132: Cats and Dogs Mafia - Day 5
Post by: SpaceAnemone on October 28, 2020, 06:34:40 pm
From the second of the posted "Siamese Cat" QT messages posted by Swan in the setup, the bit describing the role-stopper says: "In addition to the factional kill, twice night you may spend a "shot" to target one player. Any other actions (besides kills) that affect your target will instead fail."

So that means that kills on a role-stopped target would go through, but doctorings would not. I assumed that EFHW would be role-stopped and NK'd in the same night, and that was how the kill would have worked. And since scum knew that there's a tracker out there, it makes more sense for one player to do both targets than for scum to do one each, so there's no reason for my results to IC anyone. I tracked Galz on the night EFHW was killed, and it's perfectly possible that Chairs is the Siamese Cat and did both the block and the kill. I'm not sure how Galz managed to twist that to make faust IC at all...

Maybe not. It's clear that Space isn't scum, since this would be the hammer for them if they were, so we can -at least- dispense with that particular flirtation.

I obviously fail at RB vs RS - that’s predicated a lot of my arguments today. This isn’t a mistake I make as scum. Not once, not twice, not three times or more (as has been the case).

Space is right: I didn’t consider scum killing & using a PR at the same time. Faust is correct that I mistook RS for RB.

Space isn’t scum, or they missed the hammer (unlikely). Chairs & WCD aren’t scum together. WCD and faust, which is where I started and spent most of the day, are.

I thought you said faust was confirmed town (though only to you for some reason!).

Based on my clearly misunderstood way RS works.

My argument for faust being basically IC was that if scum had stopped the Doctor N3, there’s no reason they wouldn’t just kill the Doctor last night. And since that didn’t happen, it’s significantly more likely that they got through the Doctor kill by use of Strongman.

This argument has 2 problems;

1) Pointed out by faust: RS is not RB. Scum would’ve stopped doctors from working on EFHW. This doesn’t mean they know who the Doctor is.

2) Pointed out by Space: Scum likely can PR & kill with the same person.

Both of those points are valid. Neither of those are things I fuck up as scum here.

Post by: Galzria on October 28, 2020, 09:05:38 pm
Okay, I thought about it some more and I think this is the right call. We have to get it right today or we lose, yeah?

Perhaps more importantly, scum already know that I am the doc because I was blocked N3 when I doctored EFHW (it’s been Rob all the other nights). So, we should have as much information as they do and it should improve our VCA (although I haven’t been on any of the mixiles so not as helpful as it could be.)

Reread and it’s obvious, especially since I pretty much as much in the conversation with faust about why I was trying to avoid being nightkilled.

If scum already knew you were the Doctor, scum would’ve killed you last night instead of risking you Doctoring their intended kill.

First time messing this up.

N3: Galz -- he was terribly awol, and I know my frustration with his lack of interaction with the game was showing in-thread. However, an absent scum can still be puppeted by present scumbuddies in the scum QT, so it seemed worth a shot, and it seemed like the only possible way to get alignment-indicative content from him.

Cool - so faust is IC now as well! (Ok, to me anyway)

N3: If you Tracked me and got no result, either I'm town (hint hint), or the only possible way this happens AND the kill goes through a Doctor is if there exists a Strongman - because in this scum!Galzria scenario, either the Doctor was RB'd (in which case you would've seen me RB the Doctor OR perform the kill on EFHW), or YOU were RB'd, in which case the kill on EFHW must have been Strongman.

And with faust being IC (to me now), that means the scum team is either:

{WCD, Space}, {Chairs, Space}, reaaaaaaaaaaly unlikely {WCD, Chairs}.

That means there is one rolestopper shot unaccounted for, i.e. my target could have been rolestopped on at most one night. I haven't actually confirmed with Swowl whether his interpretation of the "twice at night" means both shots could have been used on different targets on N3, or whether it needs to be different night. For scum to end up no-killing last night, I suspect it means that both rolestopper shots have now been used.

Note that from N3 when scum pulled out the stops to take EFHW down, there's no point in them using their godfatherer shot, so that makes the expected number of scum targets per night lower.

The truth is, I've been waiting for a Bullet Proof claim. It's what makes the most sense for EFHW's death. Why?

If this was the case, then there is NO REASON for there to have been no-kill last night. Scum would've killed the Doctor. The only logical reason EFHW died is that there is a Strongman.

I thought essentially all parties played very well this game. There were a lot of last minute changes on both ends that made it like watching a damn thriller film for me!
However, I do have to give the props to skum on this one. Eevee and chairs did an excellent job of casting shade on a Eevee/Chairs duo, which ended up coming into quite some play late game considering chairs was a primary candidate for a lynch the first half of the game :P Faust made some excellent target selection and imo the best play of the game was the 1-shot BP claim.

On the town side of things, there are def some shout outs to be had as well. Many of the early deaths had some really good reads going on for that point in the game. MiX had some crazy on pings for the sole day they were alive. WCD masked doctor very very well, and effectively used shots as needed. EFHW successfully targeted 2/3 of the skums, just got killed on Night 3  when they targeted faust. And then Space... poor poor Space... was so damn spot on. Tracked Eevee Night 1 when they did nothing, Tracked faust night 2 when they were blocked by Eevee, Tracked Galz night 3, and then again went for faust Night 4... when faust took no action. Between the two result roles they successfully targeted skum 5/7 times and barely got anything for it! But very good reads!

Thank you very much for playing. We need to get another game going ASAP!

Well done, y’all, well done.

Sheesh, Galzy....we gotta find some way to learn to trust each other. We’re the worst.

@Swowl, there's something not quite right with the current night action summary, where you've got Dylan dying N2 and N3, and EFHW dying N4. Should be EFHW N3 and a miss N4, right?

I was sweating bullets for part of the final Day and then so comfortable for the last half of it. Other than my shade towards Didds the "can we be done" was genuine though - I figured even if you exiled me faust could carry it through because Robz was sold on scum Galz practically

chairs counterclaim was interesting to me. One of those scum gambits I've often seen proposed but never seen used to good effect. I'd love to hear your though process on why you decided to do that, chairs.

Didn't you read the scum QT? I think it was explained there.

Did no one else notice how Glooble couldn't possibly had used daychat in EoD1? I tried my best to say it without claiming and it didn't work :(

My plan was always to townread faust in-thread and stay suspicious of him behind the scenes, so it may or may not have worked out for him to join in your exile: as long as Didds realised that I was the one to protect N5 (so coming out as the tracker at that point wasn't at all a stupid move!), then I could use my tracking shot to distinguish pretty well between Galz and faust, given that it was a pretty safe bet that if you had any RS shots left, we wouldn't have seen the no-kill N4. I guess I just failed at articulating my exiling logic well enough to get the others to go along with it :-(

You probably should've said this exact post to Didds directly. Oh well, hindsight and all.

Not until the Chairs exile was secure, otherwise faust would have twisted it somehow :-P

Space was really spot on the final day, but it all went to deaf ears.

Unbelievable performance from faust, this was a joy to watch even after my own sad demise.

Yes, the fake!claims were much more believable than the actual claims, since the actual claims had all sorts of issues of implausibility.

Yeah, I don’t know.... I felt like we were sunk all day when people were more suspicious of me than not. I don’t think that here was anything I could have said or done to convince Robz, and Galzy’s continued insistence about my scumminess made me not trust him.

I almost unvoted before I went to bed last night after his three examples of wrongness, but I don’t think I could have ever swung him and Robz to chairs. They’d have exiled me and we still would have lost.

So, pretty much I suck. I was an okay doc, but not a convincing townie. And we really needed a convincing townie.

I honestly don't get where all Galz's wrongness was coming from! I was working on Robz, though, so even if Galz was a lost cause, maybe we'd have swung it if faust had joined in the Chairs exile, if we'd persuaded him that we thought it had to be Galz-Chairs. Though probably faust is smarter than that :-(

Hey, hindsight is great, but you were playing with what you had to work with in the day. If nothing else, Galz's earlier terrible reads on you made it clear that you and he really couldn't be scum together, so Chairs was the correct lynch... it was just hard to get the others to hear it. I was on the town!Didds team :-)

So, pretty much I suck. I was an okay doc, but not a convincing townie. And we really needed a convincing townie.

I did the convincing townie thing (somehow!), and they still didn't listen, so again, no need to feel sad about your play because of it!

I always knew that by not getting the game finished on the last Day I would expose myself to tracking, and it would be hard to come back from that. I only started pushing chairs because I was confident he wouldn't be the exile.

Space, you were great! Would the two of us together been enough to convince Galz on chairs? I’m not sure....

And same on not knowing where all of galz’s wrongness on me was coming from. It seemed so full of intent that I couldn’t see past it.
