Title: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: jotheonah on May 19, 2021, 02:17:08 pm
This will be a role madness game for 13 people with flavor based on the Wizard of Oz movie, and no other Oz source material.  It will be role madness in that everyone will have a role, but the roles themselves will be mostly uncomplicated and there are no weird novel gimmicks. Should just be chill, fun, classic mafia with a fun nostalgic theme.


co-mod: LaLight
/in list:

1. Awaclus
2. mathdude
3. faust
4. Swowl
5. mcmcsalot iguanaiguana
6. Dylan32
7. WestCoastDidds
8. 2.71828.....
9. Glooble
10. MiX
11. EFHW
12. pubby
13. Galzria

Alternates:
Jimmmmm

Normal mafia rules apply. Days will last five IRL days and nights will last 48 IRL hours.

Somewhere in Kansas, on the Gale family farm, a little girl is dreaming of a better life. She is Dorothy Gale, an Innocent Child.

“Somewhere over the rainbow, Toto,” she says to her little dog. “Theres a more exciting life for us.”

Little did she know how exciting her life was about to become.

Meanwhile in a faraway land, in a dark and creepy castle, a green witch watches the little girl through her crystal ball.

“I’ll get you my pretty,” she says. “And your little dog too!”

Day one begins now. MiX is confirmed town.

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to exile.

So hilariously (and true story), Swowl and I were on our way to a baseball game yesterday afternoon and he looks over at me while I’m driving and goes … man, I you know who I’ve missed that we haven’t seen in forever? IguanaIguana!

He then recounted the time you went to your exile spamming the thread with meme’s after getting caught as a poisoner. When we got back I checked to see if the game was open and couldn’t believe to see you had subbed in! Serendipitous!

Hi hi hi hi hi hi!

I loooooooooove the Wizard of Oz. I went to grad school in Kansas (the breadbasket of America is a bastion for rhetoric scholars, who knew?!) and endured years of Dorothy jokes, but I love it still. It was also my middle school play a million year ago.

MiX! You are the best IC! Galzy! It’s been a minute! Iguana!!! Hi hi hi!

Also, iguana was my coach when I first, first started playing. There was a newbie game where everyone was allowed to have a coach, although only a couple of us did. He was my coach, and he helped me understand some things that would have taken me forever to figure out.

faust, I’m glad you’ve never left. You are made of awesome.

I had a whole lot more free time to start that game up with my wife and kids in vacation before I could get it to join them, so my activity level was inflated over "normal"

I have thought about it, and given that I know the least about the setup, I am clearly in a position to say that massclaiming is anti-town.

Batten down the hatches everybody! A twister's coming through!

The cyclone rages through the Gale family farm and picks up the whole farmhouse, dumping it square in the middle of the land of Oz.

Birds sing. Munchkins dance. Everything is in technicolor and there's a pretty yellow brick road winding through the town. All is well... except for that pair of shiny shoes poking out from underneath the house...

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to exile. I never told you guys how long days and nights were going to be. We're going for five-day days and 48 hour nights. Which means day 1 ends at 7 pm on Thursday, forum time.

I’ve never seen it actually happen but I can imagine the disastrous scenarios. The one thing different in this game might be that I think our flavor names are unique and there probably isn’t a huge pool of possibly fake names since the WOOz is such a familiar text. I don’t think this reason is good enough to advocate for it, but it does seem different than the games we’ve played that are less tied to flavor.

I definitely felt like I was an IC because my flavor had to be in the game, and be town.

But like, of course scum have fake claims.

Maybe it would make sense to advocate for massclaim if anyone has an actual way to benefit from it?

Hypothetically, if we mass claim, then scum knows who is the doctor to roleblock and who is the tracker to shoot D1 and who is the vigilante to redirect onto the IC and we're screwed. We never get to catch scum out on their lying D1 claims because they know all of our powers and how to thwart them while we still know nothing real about them.

Mass claim is bad.

A lot of assumptions (knowledge?) about what powers scum has here; probably means nothing, but I wanted to note it for later just in case. Besides that, I agree.

I also feel compelled to say that I will be VLA from August 27 - September 4. I thought that was okay, but with the shorter days it's going to be a bigger portion of the game unfortunately.

I'll still be able to check in, but my activity definitely will suffer.

You pointed out my vote and yours, which were both non-RVS. I cannot speak to mathdude's vote on pubby, which was in between, and may or may not have been RVS.

"But you have!" replies a voice from waist height. "And as the Mayor of the Munchkin City, it is my duty to investigate this unfortunate residenceicide!"

Suddenly munchkins start appearing from all around.

"We will discover whose feet these are... and then we'll investigate who's to blame!"

Then for some reason Joth decided to make my vote for his comod count in the vote totals... which validated my feelings of LL playing this game.

Ordinarily, I would say there might be something to go on here. But looking at who is on the list, and my limited experience here, and the interactions between such people and MiX (including EFHW, added to this list later)... none of these comments surprise me.  Are you trying to drum up trouble where there isn't any?

Galzria, do you have any reads?

I’m trying to decide how I feel about e! in re: to his half lobbed idea to mass claim. My gut says it’s scummy because even if we don’t do it, it’s encouraging slip ups and hints in just the way it’s argued for/against. But then my brain says scum doesn’t really care enough in an RMM to push it, or even throw it out there.

I also thought faust was uncharacteristic in his response to an RVS vote, which I feel like he generally just ignores entirely as town (I feel like town faust puts more effort into developing reads than he does responding to / caring about random votes on himself) - but it was early RVS and it’s not like there was anything substantial for him to be doing so it’s not really a big thing.

Beyond that:

Vote: WCD

I think scum!Didds is more likely to forget Swowl was posted VLA (by both me and then himself), and the vote on Swowl, given their previous games together, feels like an intentionally aimed vote to show participation without actually engaging. It has a “I’ve got to make sure I vote Swowl D1 or he’ll be suspicious of me for not going at him” type vibe, and I could see scum!Didds overlooking the VLA while making sure to get that vote in.

I am not answer for Swowl. But I can tell you that Galz is on the good drugs. I literally never go after Swowl D1. I don’t have a move like that in my repertoire So, he’s surely not going to rib me for not doing it. And I didn’t space on the VLA. Galz said “weekend” and it’s Monday.  That Galz is trying to gin up a charge built on a history he created for me is way shadier than anything he’s accusing me of.

Hypothetically, if we mass claim, then scum knows who is the doctor to roleblock and who is the tracker to shoot D1 and who is the vigilante to redirect onto the IC and we're screwed. We never get to catch scum out on their lying D1 claims because they know all of our powers and how to thwart them while we still know nothing real about them.

Mass claim is bad.

A lot of assumptions (knowledge?) about what powers scum has here; probably means nothing, but I wanted to note it for later just in case. Besides that, I agree.

I think this post from Dylan is a little bit scummy. It seems disingenuous to me. Iguana is clearly using hypothetical examples to make a point, and implying that he's somehow letting his secret setup knowledge slip is... weird.

Ok, time for an embarassing post.

Lalight is not playing :(

I just realized this... right now. I think when I cast my first vote, I had just scanned the players and saw LL's name. Then for some reason Joth decided to make my vote for his comod count in the vote totals... which validated my feelings of LL playing this game. Today I looked to try to figure out why he hadn't posted yet... and ... yeah... Lol, I failed.
In other words you felt obligated to vote for someone in your opening post and didn't care who. Scummy much?

No, I RVS'd Lalight because when I chose to come back after three years and /inned a game, LL was the one who expressed excitement about me coming back. That made him an emotionally comfortable person to RVS because he was nice to me. I just didn't realize that he wasn't playing in this game and those posts werent part of this pre game because I signed up for this months ago.

I didn't feel obligated to RVS. I usually do though because voting creates interactions and helps D1 not to suck as much. I mean, look at this fun interaction we're having right now because of it!

Mostly keep him talking. If he has some scummy scheme in mind, then let him dig himself deeper. What did you think I was intending?
I don't know, that's why I was asking.

I think that maybe it wasn't an attempt at rolefishing, but I'm not completely convinced.
I was trusting town!e to know what not to say, while challenging a possible scum!e to commit himself further.

I’m not following. Why do my previous QTs that he was in mean that I’d need to start by going after him because “I’ve got to make sure I vote Swowl D1 or he’ll be suspicious of me for not going after him”? That just doesn’t make any sense to me.

I am looking forward to playing with him again, along with you, MiX, faust, and EFHW. Well, everyone really, because I think of you as friends, but even more so with those folks. So, there is genuine enthusiasm, but it wasn’t forced. I realized he was VLA, I just thought it was for the weekend not Tuesday. But whatevs. Once you get an idea in your head, I just get frustrated when you dig in.

All in all reality, and in light of our pretty solid record of misexiles on D1, unless something really dramatic happens in the next three days, I will probably advocate for no exile because a good ‘ole Joth RMM is going to have night powers that are more interesting and important than what we’re doing D1. I’m not there yet because I’m thinking about when we caught Joth in Memento (although that was D2, I just reminded myself…it felt like D2 because I couldn’t vote D1.)

I don't like voting for pubby, Faust, Galzria, Glooble...maybe also e and Dylan.

These players have made reasoned cases and have backed them up with at least one vote. That doesn't make them all town, but it's a towny thing to do. Scum would rather not have reads and votes that can expose them on D3+ flying around on D1.

I still like Awaclus. But I will look if anyone else has more than one vote.

Meh, that was just the first thing I had seen that stuck out as even remotely alignment indicative, even though like I said it is most likely nothing. The reason it even remotely pinged as maybe something was the total lack of any direct hypothetical language, like no "if" or "might" or "maybe" was used at all, which is fairly normal for hypothetical things like that. On a balance, I agree it is way more likely that it was truly hypothetical, but since there's a nonzero chance it was something, I pointed it out.

I do have an additional remark on why talking about massclaims is bad.

As Awaclus pointed out, stating your preference pro or anti massclaim possibly in itself reveals role info because some roles benefit or suffer disproportionately from a massclaim.

One might counter this by saying "well town should just answer without regard for their role". Which is saying, town should be disingenuous and do the thing that scum is also trying to do. This causes town to behave in a scum-like manner and thus muddies the water for scumhunting.

Seems strange not to take knowledge into account. You could have a role that says "if you target the Tracker, town wins". Surely that would influence your opinion on claiming. That is a ridiculously extreme example, but any role has a preference on knowing/not knowing roles to a lesser extent. If you don't take into account the knowledge that you have then you're not playing optimally.

I've noticed that Dylan has also chimed in on the issue. Hey Dylan, do you feel like also sharing some reads? Do you think Glooble is scummy for voting for me?

I mean, yeah, I had responded to Glooble not getting how scum could benefit first but tried to leave it vague, but since you (faust) and Awaclus already went more in depth, I will too since it seems like Glooble is not getting why this whole thing could be bad. Glooble, it doesn't really have anything to do with what other roles other people might have, its that on average people with roles that would be worse to reveal D1 (like investigative roles and stuff) are more likely to be more strongly against the mass claim, while people with more expendable roles or ones that could actually benefit from being claimed and not countered early (I guess like masons could fit here) might be more open to the idea, even if they don't explicitly support it. Scum could then take people's responses and make more informed guesses about which bucket people might be in when prioritizing the NK and other actions.

So then you are left with town, in order to not leak info like this, being forced to respond completely independently of their role, which--like faust said in his first response to you--would be disingenuous. That's why it's bad; it has nothing to do with your playstyle and how you think as town, but it has everything to do with giving scum potentially useful information.

To faust's question: I don't really think the vote for you was scummy on it's own, but I am leaning scum on Glooble just from the rest of the interaction. I'm sitting down to work right now, so I don't have time to click back to remind myself who said it, but I actually didn't hate the idea that someone that basically copied my opening comment of relief to have IC!MiX could have been scum seeing that as something easy and safe to copy. I'll have more thoughts later.

Let it be known that scum did not read the thread to see if it was safe to say they were relieved to see me as the IC. They simply already know if it's in their wheelhouse as town or not, intrinsically, from their interactions with me in the past.

If anything, it simply replaced what their first post would be had they been town. But that was decided pre-reading the thread.

Hard to choose a vote. I feel that scum is trying to avoid anyone getting more than 1 or 2 votes... taking advantage of the fact that townies are not on the same page about things. I feel that scum don't want wagons D1 that town can look at later and solve the game using. Therefore I want to vote for someone that someone else who is trying hard feels is a good vote as well... especially because no one is interested to join me on voting Awaclus.

In short, I have several weakish town reads, or at least pro town reads. Faust is one of those, mathdude is not one of those... and I'm sheeping faust.

Here's another question. I assume faust knows that Mathdude is a common D1 mislynch. So why would he go there? Isn't faust still considered to be a quite good player?
I don't know why MiX thinks mathdude is a common D1 misexile. (btw we say exile now instead of lynch because the word lynch has a problematic background)

mathdude is a relatively new addition to f.ds mafia, he was misexiled D1 in his first game and not since.

Because he was misexiled D1, then died D1, then exiled themselves D1, then lived to endgame, then we exiled them D2 (these last 2 as scum).

For the mathdude games we have, I think that's good enough to say he's a common D1 misexile.

Also I would say it's easy to pick on him with votes.

No it's not. The D1 death you mention was not town-induced. A game where he tried to get exiled isn't really relevant in this game, so the only data point we have is a single game.

One game out of one game he was town and could actually have been misexiled D1.

I think scum!Didds is more likely to forget Swowl was posted VLA (by both me and then himself), and the vote on Swowl, given their previous games together, feels like an intentionally aimed vote to show participation without actually engaging. It has a “I’ve got to make sure I vote Swowl D1 or he’ll be suspicious of me for not going at him” type vibe, and I could see scum!Didds overlooking the VLA while making sure to get that vote in.

Swowl, can you confirm this is the case?

Ok I am home.
This first because it is at me directly.

Answer is no. Or I mean "no I cannot confirm I think this is what would happen". I get what Galz is saying and if it was like ANYONE other than WCD and myself, it would have merit... but Short answer no.. long answer below.

This is all generalization...
When we are skum together, we try to simulate our buddy buddy normal nature because obvious reasons.
We she is town and I am skum, I lose. I don't know how to play it.
When she is skum and I am town, I am like 50-50 either way. And the only reason I am 50-50 is if she actually makes a mistake. Once I cultivate a town read on her, I am pretty locked in.

When we are both town, we tend to ignore each other until one of us posts "something something... and because I town read WCD/Swowl". Then the other one normally reciprocates, unless a weird ass game where there is a skum read by that point... and then we are hard core buddy buddy until the end.

Its kind of like peacocks or whatever... walk around in circles for a while and then one of them shows all the plumage and then the other peacock either tries to kill it or chill with it. We normally chill.

Now this is my first post back, so I need to kind of read up on the general game state thus far but I will point out two things. One obvious, one not so much.

1) Obvious thing - WCD voted me. A weak vote so meh, but still. This part of the argument I get from Galz... Except different reasoning. Not so much weird because it has a vibe too it, because she would know that she doesn't need to simulate that vibe.... but weird because it breaks the peacock dance ritual.

2) Not so obvious thing - Galz has been in countless games with WCD and myself, so he would know that we generally ignore each other. So making the argument he did, for the REASON he stated... is weird.

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Swowl on August 24, 2021, 04:55:41 pm
Hypothetically, if we mass claim, then scum knows who is the doctor to roleblock and who is the tracker to shoot D1 and who is the vigilante to redirect onto the IC and we're screwed. We never get to catch scum out on their lying D1 claims because they know all of our powers and how to thwart them while we still know nothing real about them.

Mass claim is bad.

A lot of assumptions (knowledge?) about what powers scum has here; probably means nothing, but I wanted to note it for later just in case. Besides that, I agree.

I don't think these are very "bold" assumptions. Maybe replace Tracker with "Tracker/Cop" and then the Vig doesn't like "need to exist. But yeah, we have a start day IC... so just game creation wise, there kind of has to be certain roles for balance in a standard RMM.

I’m not saying you don’t have one here, I have no idea, but the odds are generally against it and your vote felt like fake interaction, especially because of the stated VLA.

This is a better justification for Galz' read than previous.
Still think skum WCD would just ignore me here, but I understand better what Galz was getting at.

Floating the idea of a massclaim, which usually leads to nothing could but can have the effect of people revealing information about their roles.

I also think this post from faust is a little off. The idea of a day one mass claim is so against the grain that nobody is going to say "ooh, great idea! I'm the cop!" without coming to a group consensus. I fail to see how e's suggestion could have led to anyone leaking information about their roles.

I'll join the faust wagon, I guess. That's a thing, right?

vote: faust

This doesn't make sense Gloobs. There is an IC. That removes a player from play for investigation roles to have to consider, thus making it more likely to get a result. Also, having the IC publically announced on Day 1 GTDs that either all investigation roles get at least 1 night of info out, or if skum is lucky, we get an IC on day 2 minimum.

Iguana, as you stated, you don't know my meta and I don't know yours either. So I guess it makes sense to sheep someone you do know and hope for a newer player who has a short history of usually getting exiled early.  /sarcasm. You say you want more out of me? How about an OMGUS

Better?

And to the others posting about me... thanks for making me feel included! I don't think it really matters how you look at my game history here, whether town games, all games, whatever... I definitely have a pretty good track record of getting killed early. 

The only reason I lasted until endgame in Dwarf mafia was because the game was fully stacked in our favour one Swowl decided to fully trust Didds and me in our QT (and we were both scum).

Geez, Swowl. I ❤️ you so much. We are peacocks!

So I was saying hey and I missed you, and I voted because I hadn’t voted for anyone and Joth had just announced the five day days. But I was never gonna exile you D1.

I think it is super weird that Galz decided to characterize the lack of  behavior that I don’t usually exhibit was scummy. And he said I was doing it to look like I was engaging in the game, but he’s actually done something far more hollow than he accused me of. It’s weird.

To your questions, MiX…. I’ve had a hard time getting into things in the last 24 hours because Glooble and faust essenatilly turned an off hand comment by e about massclaiming into a pretty deep tangent that mimic the kind of set-up talk that makes me glaze over. When I cast back, I think Glooble comes from scummier than faust in that exchange.

I will vote: Glooble for now

Nah… about a year and a half ago or so we were a third party in game with daychat so we talked a lot. It was a crazy game, and we were in it until the end…so there was just this epic qt. And, you know me, so not only did we talk a lot of strategy but I also have all kinds of life questions so now we are more known to one another than most people. I have played quite a bit of drunk mafia pre-pandemic with MiX, Swowl, Joth, and Galz…and lots of quick games with them (and faust) on Jimmmmm’s website. So, it’s just familiarity.

I've been somewhat suspicious of glooble. Their first few posts were terse and seemed like they were just going through the motions. Then they jump into an argument with faust, acting defensively when the actual topic of discussion didn't require it.

But for now I'm fine with parking my vote on iguana. Swowl I read as town.

I’m not saying you don’t have one here, I have no idea, but the odds are generally against it and your vote felt like fake interaction, especially because of the stated VLA.

What does the QT have to do with anything? Can you elaborate?

My point was that WCD is someone that I believe seeks interactions. Those two in particular have had a QT in literally every game for like... the last 10 or so. Assuming they don't have one here, that would be really weird for them, and so with WCD in particular, I think she'll seek out that interaction more within the game thread (compared to just ignoring the fact). If WCD is town, I would've expected more of a "Swowl, come back from camping, we miss you!!!". Hell, I would've expected her to call out how sad she was that she didn't get to talk with him in a QT. The vote felt like an opportunistic way of creating that general interaction. I think that's more likely to come from scum WCD than town WCD.

I think scum!Didds is more likely to forget Swowl was posted VLA
I think that sort of thing is quite the stretch. My default assumption is that scum pays more attention to the game, not less.

Why are you generalizing scum play as a whole? I agree that, generally speaking, scum pays more attention to the game, not less. I disagree strongly when that statement is made about WCD. Or rather, I think that scum!WCD is much more likely to force something than town!WCD, which will often cause her to overlook things that she might not have otherwise.

1.

Day 1 mass claim is a bad plan. Wagons are good. Would like to know the pubby reasons though as they had almost literally done nothing so far in the game.

I think this post from Dylan is a little bit scummy. It seems disingenuous to me. Iguana is clearly using hypothetical examples to make a point, and implying that he's somehow letting his secret setup knowledge slip is... weird.
I kind of have to agree with Glooble actually. I read II's comment as hypothetical train of thought as well. Kind of hard not to. I guess maybe a little shade casting, but also I agree with him so...

4.

K this one hits a note though. Glooble thinks day 1 mass claims are bad. Cool. However, one of the reasons day 1 mass claims are bad is for sure not just the claim itself, but what faust said about leaking information. Weird to agree but also go after faust here.

5.

One might counter this by saying "well town should just answer without regard for their role". Which is saying, town should be disingenuous and do the thing that scum is also trying to do. This causes town to behave in a scum-like manner and thus muddies the water for scumhunting.

I don't personally think my opinion on a particular strategy is affected in anyway whatsoever by my current role. I would always think about it in the context of any roles that could theoretically be in the game, and I would expect the same of any town player. I don't see how that's disingenuous.
Fair defense enough of their reasoning. Does no good to back up why they would find faust skummy though I suppose.

Seems strange not to take knowledge into account. You could have a role that says "if you target the Tracker, town wins". Surely that would influence your opinion on claiming. That is a ridiculously extreme example, but any role has a preference on knowing/not knowing roles to a lesser extent. If you don't take into account the knowledge that you have then you're not playing optimally.

I disagree. Even if I know that my own role benefits from or suffers from a mass claim, I don't know how scum are going to benefit or how that info might hurt other townies. I think considering your own role without thinking about what other roles might be in the game isn't playing optimally.

But whatever. We play the game differently, that's fine. You've convinced me that your objection wasn't alignment-indicative.
So IDK what it is I am looking for here... like at all in the re read... but I guess the back peddling could be due to heat. Other than that chance, nothing stands out here.

7.
I will admit I tend to scumread faust almost every game, regardless of which alignment he turns out to be.
Meh. Kind of hard for me to say that this is just creating an open door policy based on meta when I just did the "same/reverse" thing with WCD. But I could see how it comes off as that.


Yeah... nothing standing out crazy here to me. What are people seeing that I am not?

Mathdude, it's a little helpful TBH because you posted something substantial so you moved out of the total nothing category but it doesn't help much because now I only know your read on me... which is like, meh, doesn't tell me a ton.

Two questions:

1) Can you share your read/vibe on at least one other person?
2) What about me made you want to vote me? Just the fact that I voted you or something else also?

Unvote

2. For now, it was mainly an OMGUS vote, as stated. I also tend to poke people with votes once in a while (mainly early game) to test for reasons.

1. I'm getting a Townie vibe from MiX!!! Just kidding... he still sounds scummy to me, but I know he's not (as per mod confirmation).

Really though, in my few short games, I've found I will typically think certain people are scummy, regardless of their alignment - MiX, faust, ashersky (not in this game), and probably e (though I think I've only played 1 other game with them). My initial read of your first few posts tells me you will probably land on this list too.

So this is mostly to say I'm starting to become aware of my biases in trying to read people. At this point in the game, I'm not saying I think someone on the list is scum (even if I find some of their posts scummy), but I'm also not saying I give any of them a town pass just based on the fact that I can find them scummy when they are town, since they still might be scum... well, okay, I'll give MiX a town pass.

Did I actually answer your Q1? Not really. I gave my bias on reads. I'll let you know shortly if I see anything i think could be useful on a quick rescan.

Okay, quick skim done. The two I'm most suspicious of at the moment are e and Awaclus. For e, it wasn't even really the massclaim comment or following discussion... it was the first post, saying he'll sheep (Awaclus, was it?) then just votes faust. For Awa, many of his posts feel off... short, just throwing stuff out there, not much reasoning for most of them.

If I had to trust someone at the moment, other than IC!MiX, it would probably be Swowl. He has come back interested in the game, asking relevant questions, trying to figure stuff out.

I have mostly been assuming that the reasoning would be obvious, but if something is not clear, I can explain it in more detail (as long as it doesn't include any information I would rather not share).

Scum does all of that in an RMM.

My perception of Awaclus this game is that his posts are generally more helpful than they usually seem to be. That is, they appear to be furthering a more visible agenda than normal (whereas he seems to normally play a less public game).

As he’s usually town this could indicate that he’s scum here - but I’m not yet willing to scum read him for play that I personally find more helpful.

"Awaclus is being more helpful than usual" has been a meme for at least three years now:

Awaclus has been decidedly less painfully obstinate than I remember.  Has he changed (I know I keep asking this but I think it matters) to be more open and helpful?  If not, I’d lean more scum on him, since the one constant for Awaclus was that he would never do anything for anyone else, no matter what, and would always be completely convinced he was right.

I have always been helpful, there's nothing unusual about that.

That's not a good argument though, if something happens in the majority of your town games but all of your scum games then it's still alignment indicative.

I'm never useful day 1. I usually can't develop scumreads this early. I voted for pubby in the hopes of starting a pubby wagon not because I necessarily thought he was scum, but because I thought he might be scum and it might provide useful interactions. I also had a reason for thinking he was a teensy bit more likely to be scum than others who already had votes on them, and I wam not interested in sharing that reason atm.

After that I highlighted two posts that felt a little off to me in the hopes of spurring discussion. I honestly expected more people to agree with me about faust, but apparently this is an area where I differ from most of the players on this forum so that ended up leading no where.

"Oh Munchkins" she says, "while you continue your investigation, I think our new friend Dorothy and her little dog should follow the Yellow Brick road to the Emerald City! There, the Wizard of Oz lives and he can answer all her questions, and also help her get home to Kansas!"

"Suits me" says Dorothy, and sets out on the yellow path.

"But first," says Glinda, "Why don't you take that dead lady's shoes for yourself? Look how shiny they are!"

"Ok," says Dorothy, and everyone pretends it makes sense.

Your first point that "If I did" comments are scummy. I disagree. Swowl is one of the two people who read me best. Saying what I would do is based enirely on what I have done.  But that is also a belief thing and I won't say anything to change your mind... but you should also recognize it is a belief thing and not based in any evidence of my scum behavior.

Your second point is that no exile is scummy.  No, no it is not.  Shraye has fully coverted me on this although i am not as committed to the idea as he is. Town lost a whole bunch of games in the last year because we had too many misexiles. There is a whole MiX rant about it somewhere.  It is very bad for us when we misexile, especially in games when there may be a third party.  In a normal game, even a misexile is valuable because we learn something from the wagon and the flip. That is still true in an RMM, but less so because of the myriad roles and powers that go with them.  In my comment I said that this was the reason and I also said that I was not yet at the point of advocating no exile. So, you are misconstruing my intent.  But mostly I just think you are wrong if you are willing to suck up a misexile.

Third point.... I am not mischaracterizing Globble's position. How much he was responsible for the extended discussion of massclaiming, on teh other hand, is arguable and a difference in perception.  He does get some credit for recognizing that it needed to end, but it still sucked up most of yesterday. I was particularly frustrated by it, but that is just me.  I think the IC wants to see a Glooble wagon. There could be lots of reasons for that. I'm not going to ask.  Do I see a scenario where he is scum? Yes. Do I want to let MiX gather whatever intel he's looking to gather? Yes. That is not opportunistic.

I agree with Galzy that Awaclus seems more helpful than usual, and that i like it.

I agree with you that folks do not often understand Awa's playstyle and that he is often more helpful than we give him credit for, but because he keeps his reasons close to the vest it can get frustrating.

Finally, I agree with you and with Awa that his play has been like his (more helpful) recently.

I don't see those as contradictory. Awa can be enigmatic. That can be frustrating. But he has always answered questions about anything that aren't his reads (his favorite animals are spiders!) and he has been more forthcoming in recent years than in the past but its easy to keep the old perception that was a product of being frustrated.

Absolutely, and i don't mean to imply that it did. My original comment that iguana snipped was that I was having a hard time engaging yesterday because it felt to me that we were in set-up talk and that is hard to me to grok.

Apologies to you and Glooble if I sounded judgy. That wasn't my intent. I was trying to speak to wh I hadn't engaged with that discussion. I was obviously having a conversation with Glaz about Swowl's VLA and with iguana about Swowl during that time, so clearly it is possible for other people to talk.

I also had a reason for thinking he was a teensy bit more likely to be scum than others who already had votes on them, and I wam not interested in sharing that reason atm.


Prior to you moving your vote to pubby for "reasons" he had the following posts:

1. "vote iguanaiguana"
2. "I don't think we are in kansas anymore"

what possible read could you get out of that?

Ok, now this? This is actually rolefishing.

On WCD. Happy with WCD. Would also vote:

Dylan, EFHW, Glooble, e, pubby

Would have to stretch to get to:

Mathdude, iguana

Probably not interested in:

faust, Awaclus, Swowl

no it isn't.
1. because it was not intended to be.
2. because if your reasons had anything to do with your role in a relevant sense at the heck all... you 100% would not say "this is role fishing".

*breathe in breathe out*

fine. not going to gain anything out of this anyways.

to your point, whatever reasons you could possibly have cannot possibly carry any weight, so I will stop.

Wanna make it clear I am stopping NOT because it is not pro town to push you one this... completely 100% disagree with that.
I find it very odd that you would feel the need to say "I have reasons I don't want to share" and then down the road be like "oh they are so flimsy". I feel like you would normally open with "I have a gut read" or just a simply answer at first saying the reasons were a stretch or something.

I think it's pretty obvious that if a person says they have reasons and there is no extant public information to possibly explain those reasons, then the reasons must be based on information that is not public, and therefore to continue asking for them is rolefishing.

Glooble, if you voted someone on reasons that a person that is reading the thread can only conclude are due to your PR, then scum will always pick up on it, if they want to.

Do you want us to vote pubby out? Because if you do, then that is much more important than the D1 dance. If you simply wanted to push pubby, then voting him does not do that. You need to interact with him and ask him questions.

If I wanted pubby exiled, I would still be voting for pubby. It was the very beginning of the game, I wanted a wagon so we'd have more stuff to analyze when we got a flip. I'm sorry I said I had reasons, if I'd known it was going to be the only thing people focused on I wouldn't have.

Ok that's enough role fishing for today.

I kinda wish you had just said "I have mechanical reasons to want to vote pubby" instead of having to read that vote like a normal one and come to the conclusion it wasn't uninformed, like the rest of town's votes.

I'll take this time to chime in on the Didds wagon: Didds is town. Move on.

Vote: faust, but this is a placeholder. EoD is only tomorrow so I don't feel like making a definitive vote yet.

Your first point that "If I did" comments are scummy. I disagree. Swowl is one of the two people who read me best. Saying what I would do is based enirely on what I have done.  But that is also a belief thing and I won't say anything to change your mind... but you should also recognize it is a belief thing and not based in any evidence of my scum behavior.
I think it is an overstatement or exaggeration. In this game, no one can ignore each other because we are all trying to analyze one another. So maybe as scum, you make the exaggeration because you can lie, whereas as town you know you are not going to be completely able to ignore him. But as scum you are willing to say "I wouldn't do this as scum" when actually you would because you are lying. OK... this is definitely my weakest point of the three and I admit that. And yes I know I don't know your developed meta as well as some other players.

Your second point is that no exile is scummy.  No, no it is not.

Specifically in this RMM I think no exile is a bad thing to advocate for. We know this about the setup: "It will be role madness in that everyone will have a role, but the roles themselves will be mostly uncomplicated and there are no weird novel gimmicks." For that kind of a setup in particular, no exile is bad because we have uncomplicated roles... so the interesting things you claim may happen at night are less likely to happen because this game has been described as basically an RMM lite.

So IMO no exile is bad here and arguing for something bad and then basically only casting one vote and not participating in much scumhunting is scummy.

Third point.... I am not mischaracterizing Globble's position. How much he was responsible for the extended discussion of massclaiming, on teh other hand, is arguable and a difference in perception.

I disagree that it is a matter of perception. It is measurable. Glooble made exactly three posts, one after another, about the massclaim discussion amounting to a total of 198 words and 1084 characters. Faust has 9 posts on the topic, amounting to 326 words and 1870 characters. Glooble's posts are all responses to faust's and are part of his stated intent of tunneling faust to figure out his alignment. faust's posts are more various and interact with me, e, Glooble, and Awaclus.

Based on these measurements, I cast suspicion on your claim that you reread the massclaim discussion, which you say was a waste of time, and concluded that Glooble came off scummiest in the discussion.

Just because it's anti-town to not exile (or better yet, you think it's anti-town to not exile) doesn't mean Didds is more likely to be scum by advocating it. I'd like to see evidence that Didds is barely scumhunting.

Didds has been Didds this game, which means she's town. I have no reason to scumread her yet.

WCD, who is scum to you?

I dunno. (And I don’t think anyone else really does either, except scum obvi). There is a pretty long list of folks who I think are towny. Mathdude, Dylan, and Galz are not on that list. And I’m not sure what I think of the current faust/Awaclus discussion.

Post by: EFHW on August 25, 2021, 04:19:41 pm
Chiming back in on the reasons discussion, naked votes are much less helpful to town than votes with reasons. I know Awaclus disagrees, but how many times do his votes inspire follow up votes from other players? And why is his method so annoying to many of us? If you want the wagon to go through, you really do need to give reasons. faust tends to do naked votes for reactions, so maybe that was the case here. But scum would also do them to see what flies.

So I hadn't paid attention to the shorter deadlines, so realizing it's tomorrow, I'll Vote: Glooble for now. I don't have any strong scumreads yet, but there's actually been more good conversations that will be useful for scumhunting after a flip or two than I remember in recent RMM D1s (thanks to the relative lack of human/cylon/military/civilian/forwards-backwards-timeline oriented conversations lol).

Right now I think iguana is town, and Awaclus and faust are somewhat towny. I would be willing to exile basically any one of {Glooble, WCD, Swowl, e, EFHW}.

Short days!

@e, what made you think of massclaim, anyway? They are usually disasters for town Day 1.

I’ve never seen it actually happen but I can imagine the disastrous scenarios. The one thing different in this game might be that I think our flavor names are unique and there probably isn’t a huge pool of possibly fake names since the WOOz is such a familiar text. I don’t think this reason is good enough to advocate for it, but it does seem different than the games we’ve played that are less tied to flavor.
MiX, is this the post you mean? I'm not getting obv!town from this. In fact, it sounds to me like she is supporting massclaim. The reference to fake names is also something that scum would thinking about more than town. And Didds has gotten pretty good lately at sounding towny when she isn't actually town. I haven't reviewed iguana's case on her in any detail yet, so for now I'm just questioning the conclusions you drew from this post.

I reread iguana's case, and partially agree with it. I also find "I wouldn't do this as scum" arguments scummy. But I've been present at the discussions with Shraeye about D1 no exile, and her points are very consistent with his. So NAI there. Iguana quoted part of this post:

 
Geez, Swowl. I ❤️ you so much. We are peacocks!

So I was saying hey and I missed you, and I voted because I hadn’t voted for anyone and Joth had just announced the five day days. But I was never gonna exile you D1.

I think it is super weird that Galz decided to characterize the lack of  behavior that I don’t usually exhibit was scummy. And he said I was doing it to look like I was engaging in the game, but he’s actually done something far more hollow than he accused me of. It’s weird.

To your questions, MiX…. I’ve had a hard time getting into things in the last 24 hours because Glooble and faust essenatilly turned an off hand comment by e about massclaiming into a pretty deep tangent that mimic the kind of set-up talk that makes me glaze over. When I cast back, I think Glooble comes from scummier than faust in that exchange.

I will vote: Glooble for now

This does ring some medium level scumbells for me. "Can't get into the game" and "Glooble comes off scummier in the exchange" and blaming that discussion for her lack of posting all feel like someone with a weak investment in scumhunting.

vote: Didds. I would go back to e. Also would vote Galz or faust. Need to reread Glooble.

Didds, can you explain why you thought mathdude and Dylan weren't towny to you at this point?

So, the other person who reads me well besides Swowl is MiX.

I don’t have a reason they weren’t towny, really. Mathdude hasn’t done much and I’m still getting to know him so null. I’m still salty with Dylan for leading to my loss last game, so I’m going gonna have a hard time finding him towny at all. And you didn’t ask but, Galz is obvious. He wastes are times with his now predictable attacks on me. I didnt and don’t think they scummy…just not towny.

vote: Didds. I would go back to e. Also would vote Galz or faust. Need to reread Glooble.

There was no lack of posting on my part. I was answering questions iguana asked and responding to Galz.  I was participating, I just wasn’t engaged. I don’t feel like I was moving the game forward because I felt like we were spinning. So, there may have been a little scumhunting, but that was my whole point. I was frustrated that I couldn’t find a way in. This current turn of events is frustrating to me, too, but it is least more productive because 4 people voting for me increases the likely good one of them is scum. Probably you or Glooble.

I believe in the Glooble/faust determination that Glooble comes off scummier. That is an assessment. That isn’t scummy. Nothing has happened since I made that assessment to change my mind. I continue to think Glooble is more scummy than faust.

I get feeling being extra suspicious because I’ve been scum recently, but if I sound like town, it’s because I am.

I'm never useful day 1. I usually can't develop scumreads this early. I voted for pubby in the hopes of starting a pubby wagon not because I necessarily thought he was scum, but because I thought he might be scum and it might provide useful interactions. I also had a reason for thinking he was a teensy bit more likely to be scum than others who already had votes on them, and I wam not interested in sharing that reason atm.


Prior to you moving your vote to pubby for "reasons" he had the following posts:

1. "vote iguanaiguana"
2. "I don't think we are in kansas anymore"

what possible read could you get out of that?

Ok, now this? This is actually rolefishing.

no it isn't.
1. because it was not intended to be.
2. because if your reasons had anything to do with your role in a relevant sense at the heck all... you 100% would not say "this is role fishing".

Maybe it wasn't said trying to rolefish. But it was perceived as such. But I was actually wanting to poke a little more at the reasons too. I think I disagree that asking things that seem like rolefishing D1 is scummy.

If someone is making a claim "with reasons", but not wanting to give the reasons... they are either vanilla and trying to draw scum's roles (not applicable here in RMM, even lite), or they might actually be scum. Holding back reasons just makes us all focus on that, which scum want distractions like that. If we did actually ignore the lack of listed reasons, as is apparently intended, and don't "fish", (and if said person is actually a town PR), scum already knows that. The only thing being hidden is how scum might best target (RB, kill, whatever).

TL;DR: I don't think there's any town reason to make it seem like there are valid reasons for a vote, especially D1 and especially RMM...

Especially now that we know the reasons were mechanical, not even role-based (which it sounded like they might be).

Regarding the Glooble, WCD, and Swowl votes, even though they are regulars, I don't really have reads on them (or EFHW) D1... they don't stand out to me much, one way or another. For those 4, I'm not seeing things that I interpret as scummy.

For the moment, I'll have to trust our IC and not vote Didds (don't get used to it, MiX!)

I'm getting a gut feel that faust is scum, and there's connections between him and both Awaclus and Glooble, so keep an eye, possibly on 2 or all 3 of those.

I'd rather vote faust or go back to e. But to keep another wagon going, for now, I'll
vote: Glooble

Ok, I admit it.

I no longer have any idea why I said the word reasons.

That fact is, I wasn't thinking that much about it. Which is another thing that's townie, because as scum I consider my words a lot more carefully.

Yet your vote is still on Didds, who is apparently a "bad vote" (town-read by our IC, if nothing else convinces you at least for D1, like some other people are also reading live iguana now too).

Chiming back in on the reasons discussion, naked votes are much less helpful to town than votes with reasons. I know Awaclus disagrees, but how many times do his votes inspire follow up votes from other players? And why is his method so annoying to many of us? If you want the wagon to go through, you really do need to give reasons. faust tends to do naked votes for reactions, so maybe that was the case here. But scum would also do them to see what flies.
I don't do naked votes "for reactions". I usually vote for who I think is scum. If Awaclus inspires follow-up votes less often than others (which I am not even sure is the case), then that is not necessarily because he doesn't give reasons. I know of a couple of times where I voted without giving reasons and that inspired follow-up votes.

Nexile is objectively bad. Even though people have night powers, it's reasonable to expect that scum has more powerful night powers because otherwise the game would be heavily town-favored. And so, ideally, we want to minimize the number of nights we have.

That argument is taking a couple of leaps. The game would not be town-favored just because town have "better" powers. There could be more scum to make up for it. In fact, the scum-to-town ratio in RMMs is usually higher specifically because town's powers are better than in a normal game compared to scum's. So you can stop making claims about "objectivity".

That’s such a nonsense argument as it applies to anyone in the game - and isn’t even a good argument at that.

13 players, you and MiX made up 2. That leaves 11. It takes 7 to exile. Doubt there’s more than 4 scum. So even if you’re town, town all get on a wagon together without you and MiX to get an exile through.

If the exile is on town, yes, you’re right, there’s probably scum aboard that wagon. That’s how we do analysis in future days. And if the exile is on scum, well guess what, we still get to do analysis of where the votes came from and when!

See, that’s how this game is played. Not by some dictator deciding who we get to exile and when.

How is it a minuscule-likelihood scenario? There's always going to be either exactly 7 townies or at least 1 scum on the wagon on D1, and the other townies will be off the wagon and their opinions won't make a difference, and neither will their IC status or lack thereof.

You cannot fairly say “Because I oppose it and so does the IC, anybody that chooses to pursue it is wasting everybody’s time with pointless votes.”

There are more than enough people, hell likely more than enough TOWN, to get an exile through that you happen to disagree with. Your disagreement doesn’t make their reads pointless or invalid.

It's not that different from other games; I think you should always be wary of wagons that your townreads oppose unless you have a good reason to think otherwise. Here, everyone knows that MiX is town, and from Galzria's previously posted readslist I would think that he townreads me as well. That should make him at least think twice about supporting that wagon.

Also given MiX's stated preference, assuming Didds was scum, it is easier for her teammates to not feel compelled to bus, so I think it is particularly unlikely for that wagon to succeed - usually, even correct exiles on scum have other scum on the wagon.

For Didds to flip scum when I'm against it, all of town has to agree on who's scum D1. I don't think we're at that point with Didds.

So, really like my Galzria vote after reading him.

- Opens with his joke about MiX being IC
- second post theory talk about the setup
- case on Didds is flimsy at best. In fact, the case is basically that WCD is not overtly aware of a V/LA situation. I would argue the opposite, that not being aware is more likely in town.

Speaking of which, really Galzria is super duper ultra aware. Like, scum level aware. So aware that he thinks everyone else is aware.

Then there are just more posts, the would exile/won't exile list, standard stuff.

This shouldn’t be a choice between Glooble and me. Good gravy, people. Quit doing the scum work for them.
It's reasonably likely that actual scum are doing some of that work.

So Galz has moved from going after me directly, to going after me indirectly becauese some widely town read folks and the IC say I’m a bad wagon. It looks to me like all of his content is being generated out of the single desire to get me out. Which is weird, right? His case wasn’t rock solid to begin with and now it’s the focus of the entirety of his day. Very much the like the fake engagement he accuses me of, I think.

It’s not OMGUS anymore
Vote: Galz

The thing I wonder about though is if he’d be this out there if he was scum. I don’t know. But then again, if he is scum and wants me out aiming early and being dogged might be his best strat? Not sure.

I’m also fine with nexile. To Awaclus’ point, not nexile every day, but no exile on D1 because we could learn more tonight than we know now. I like that far better than voting for a null read which other than Galz, is pretty much everyone except my town reads right now.

You changed arguments here.

No I didn't. See the original argument:

But the IC, unlike your townreads, has less information than anyone else

I was always including scum in the category of "has more information than the IC".

 Not too long after embarking on the yellow brick road, Dorothy comes upon a straw man.

"You there," she says, "Which way should we go to find out who dropped that house on that person?"

"You could exile him, or her, or him" the Scarecrow says, pointing at a few different Munchkins and Toto. "Of course, people do no exile."

"Oh, you're not very helpful at all!"

Nonetheless, the Scarecrow hops down off his perch and joins Dorothy and Toto on the road.



Vote Count 1.4

2.71828.... (4): Swowl, Awaclus, MiX, Glooble

Ok, I see the Didds wagon isn't going anywhere. While I don't share MiX and e's implicit trust, I recognize the Day 1 quality of my case. Didds keeps coming back to no exile. I've given some thought to that option, which often seems appealing on Day 1 when the exile feels random. But even if we misexile, that's not without benefit to town because we get information. After hearing people take positions, we find out what the truth was and this is clarifying and helpful down the line when looking for patterns. Without the Day 1 exile, Day 2 can feel like a repeat of Day 1.

I still haven't reread Glooble. I'll pick a wagon after I do that.

So, really like my Galzria vote after reading him.

- Opens with his joke about MiX being IC
- second post theory talk about the setup
- case on Didds is flimsy at best. In fact, the case is basically that WCD is not overtly aware of a V/LA situation. I would argue the opposite, that not being aware is more likely in town.

Speaking of which, really Galzria is super duper ultra aware. Like, scum level aware. So aware that he thinks everyone else is aware.

Then there are just more posts, the would exile/won't exile list, standard stuff.

But yeah, I like voting for Galzria

- I have opened with that exact same post to MiX in every game for over 30 consecutive games between this site and Jimmmm’s… with the exception of the last game I played in, where I was scum for the first time in a millennium and forgot (was scum with Didds & Math fwiw).

- Setup post is w/e. There were no real posts, didn’t feel like RVS’ing (don’t generally) but wanted to keep my engagement up - the longer I go without posting something the harder it is for me to get back into it later.

- Again, you’re making the same bad argument faust did. It is GENERALLY for MOST scum more likely that they’ll be more aware than their town!selves. That doesn’t hold true for WCD. She gets into try-hard mode when scum and attempts to go about checking every box, which almost always causes her to overlook something and get herself into trouble.

- Yes. I’m super duper ultra aware that Swowl was VLA. That generally happens when your roommate isn’t in the house for 4 days.

Good thing the IC doesn’t dictate who we exile. It’s crazy, but it’s almost like they have less knowledge than literally anybody in the game.
I for example have the knowledge that it's almost impossible to get a town-controlled wagon on Didds to succeed if MiX and me oppose it. Which means the only way a Didds exile is going to happen is because scum wants it to happen.

I just want to point out that the Didds exile super didn't happen. It dissipated in all of a moment after getting four votes on it. So yes, if she's scum your scenario is most likely correct. The towns opposed it and scum were like, phew.

I was actually on the verge yesterday of thinking EFHW was scum, hopping on the Didds wagon in position #4 ready to watch a few more votes pile up and get the sweet sweet mis-exile. Now that EFHW's vote remains the apex of the Didds wagon it's much harder assess that move.

As it stands... I think we probably maybe have a T v T situation with the two exiles with scum voting on both wagons. I don't know but that's my gut feeling right now -.-

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: mathdude on August 26, 2021, 01:30:38 pm
Nexile is objectively bad. Even though people have night powers, it's reasonable to expect that scum has more powerful night powers because otherwise the game would be heavily town-favored. And so, ideally, we want to minimize the number of nights we have.
That argument is taking a couple of leaps. The game would not be town-favored just because town have "better" powers. There could be more scum to make up for it. In fact, the scum-to-town ratio in RMMs is usually higher specifically because town's powers are better than in a normal game compared to scum's. So you can stop making claims about "objectivity".

Then why don't we just automatically nexile every day and win with our superior night powers instead?
I guess it's within flavor to put up a strawman?

If nexiling every day is obviously a bad idea (which it is), then it seems equally obvious that nexiling is bad in general.
If exiling e in every game is obviously a bad idea (which it is), then it seems equally obvious that exiling e is bad in general.

If exiling MiX every game is a good idea, then exiling MiX this game is...
Wait...
With MiX often coming across scummy, even when town, maybe I thought there was some truth to that. But this game clearly proves it's not always good to exile MiX.

Regarding the No Exile idea... unless town has a Vig, anyone is usually the only chance to kill scum. So I'm all for exile. And even if we miss, we get a good bunch of info from wagons... someone else already said, if we don't exile today, D2 can look a lot like a typical D1.

Just because you can't read me doesn't mean I come across scummy every game :( I would say I'm obviously town this game, even without my alignment being known. This was only possible because I didn't need to care about people reading me, but still.

Those are just generic reasons to not want to exile. If the 2 top wagons are town, not exiling is better than exiling, especially in a RMM.

It's not that different from other games; I think you should always be wary of wagons that your townreads oppose unless you have a good reason to think otherwise.

Your townreads, sure. But the IC, unlike your townreads, has less information than anyone else, which is why your own reads are by default better than theirs unless there's a good reason to think otherwise.
Just because they know the alignment of 1 fewer players doesn't mean it's sensible to completely disregard their reads. The less-informedness of their reads compared to your townreads is made up for by the plus in trustworthiness; your townreads could still be scum, after all.

I think this is important enough to highlight again. Yes, I know my own alignment and that of MiX. Whereas MiX only knows his own. But I think if we're starting to get into effectively second lines of logic... I'm considering the reads of people I town-read, or similar... even if I town-read Swowl, for example, I should be much more wary of Swowl's reads if MiX says he doesn't trust the guy.

Galz on the other hand has basically flown under the radar most of the game in my mind. Only once starting to be targeted did some of his responses (specifically his first two on page 16) raise a bit of concern for me. I'd definitely switch to Galz if the e-wagon fizzles, rather than see no exile happen.

- Setup post is w/e. There were no real posts, didn’t feel like RVS’ing (don’t generally) but wanted to keep my engagement up - the longer I go without posting something the harder it is for me to get back into it later.

- Again, you’re making the same bad argument faust did. It is GENERALLY for MOST scum more likely that they’ll be more aware than their town!selves. That doesn’t hold true for WCD. She gets into try-hard mode when scum and attempts to go about checking every box, which almost always causes her to overlook something and get herself into trouble.

- Yes. I’m super duper ultra aware that Swowl was VLA. That generally happens when your roommate isn’t in the house for 4 days.

So basically WCD will catch herself as scum later if she is in fact scum? Cool, let's exile Didds day 3

Otherwise, yeah. All valid points in your defense. I still think you are a good exile

 Meanwhile back in Munchkinland, the Coroner gives his official report.

"These feet belong to the leader of the Lollipop Guild, a well-known and influential Munchkin. But more importantly, we have found trace amounts of dark magic around the house! Yes, this house did not fall by accident, this was the work of the Wicked Witches of the West and/or East!"

"And my magic senses tell me that the witch that did it is hiding amongst us right now!" Glinda says.

"Huh, maybe we shouldn't have let that sweet girl go off all by herself," says the Mayor. "Oh well."

"Where are we, what's going on?" ask Uncle Henry and Auntie Em as they stagger out of the house. "I sure don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

How exactly would we verify that? With this claim, scum probably wouldn't try to shoot him, so he'll probably live (unless unlucky target). If a tracker or similar watches him, are they really going to claim D2 that yeah he hid where he said he did? That seems more likely to waste an investigative role than to actually be beneficial. Unless of course the plan is to let e live for several days and hope the tracker or whatever lives long enough to get other results before coming forward and confirming or rejecting this claim, but that doesn't seem like a good play either.

Yeah, there is no great way to confirm my role other than having an extra death and you get to see my flip.

Post by: 2.71828..... on August 26, 2021, 03:56:25 pm
I think scum!Didds is more likely to forget Swowl was posted VLA (by both me and then himself), and the vote on Swowl, given their previous games together, feels like an intentionally aimed vote to show participation without actually engaging. It has a “I’ve got to make sure I vote Swowl D1 or he’ll be suspicious of me for not going at him” type vibe, and I could see scum!Didds overlooking the VLA while making sure to get that vote in.

Swowl, can you confirm this is the case?

Ok I am home.
This first because it is at me directly.

Answer is no. Or I mean "no I cannot confirm I think this is what would happen". I get what Galz is saying and if it was like ANYONE other than WCD and myself, it would have merit... but Short answer no.. long answer below.

This is all generalization...
When we are skum together, we try to simulate our buddy buddy normal nature because obvious reasons.
We she is town and I am skum, I lose. I don't know how to play it.
When she is skum and I am town, I am like 50-50 either way. And the only reason I am 50-50 is if she actually makes a mistake. Once I cultivate a town read on her, I am pretty locked in.

When we are both town, we tend to ignore each other until one of us posts "something something... and because I town read WCD/Swowl". Then the other one normally reciprocates, unless a weird ass game where there is a skum read by that point... and then we are hard core buddy buddy until the end.

Its kind of like peacocks or whatever... walk around in circles for a while and then one of them shows all the plumage and then the other peacock either tries to kill it or chill with it. We normally chill.

Now this is my first post back, so I need to kind of read up on the general game state thus far but I will point out two things. One obvious, one not so much.

1) Obvious thing - WCD voted me. A weak vote so meh, but still. This part of the argument I get from Galz... Except different reasoning. Not so much weird because it has a vibe too it, because she would know that she doesn't need to simulate that vibe.... but weird because it breaks the peacock dance ritual.

2) Not so obvious thing - Galz has been in countless games with WCD and myself, so he would know that we generally ignore each other. So making the argument he did, for the REASON he stated... is weird.

To expand on my previous post, read Swowl here.  Zero in on point number 2

I'd rather make people slip up that it's due to their PR that they're doing things. Scum can't easily fake that without going hard into a fakeclaim.

Scum roleblocking you means they're not roleblocking someone else.

Fair - but it does nothing to confirm my role to you and their other options are a complete guess in the dark.

Also if I were scum I would do nothing and say I was blocked or Jailed or something - which I guess could get caught by a Watcher on me - but now we’re getting into powers on powers on powers.

I don't understand MiX's reasoning here

If Galzria's scum, he doesn't have a 2-shot vig lol. So he should use the vig so we can confirm he has it.

I don't see how the second half follows the first statement.

If I am scum then I am not a hider, so I should hide to confirm I am a hider.  Except my role isn't really verifiable....except if a town vig shoots me.

If Galzria is scum, is directed to shoot me, "shoots me" and then claims that, he makes me out to be conf!town (of sorts), which is not what scum want to do.

I think we have had a very productive D1, which starting D2 with investigations and galzria shooting me and me hiding could very easily end with multiple N1 deaths.

We have had good wagons, good discussions, and just the right amount of claiming.

I think a lot of time N1 actions are pretty much blind, and the best way for people to direct their actions is based on a flip.  I have historically been a huge advocate of D1 exiles, going so far as to hammer myself as town to ensure an exile went through on D1. (on a side note - town did win and I like to think my self-exile contributed to that)

That is not the situation here.  I think there is enough to go on between Galzria and myself, plus other wagons and opinions on Swowl, Didds, and others to give people enough to make informed N1 action choices.

That and the very high likelihood of a multiple-death night either N1 or sometime in the future

Then Galz claims a role that based on meta is somewhat useles since he doesn't want to use it.

Call me skeptical, but both seem easy enough to make up. Galz's is definitely more risky to fake claim, both the flavour name and the role, at a risk of being counter-claimed (unless it was a mod-provided safe claim).

Can't believe that no one has pointed this out

The fact that he has a history (which I can verify) of being extremely effing vocal about vig being a anti town utility role literally means nothing once he claimed the role. On day 1 to be exact. If he tried to claim it on day 3/4/5... ok yeah THAT is convenient this means nothing.

His history does not work for him here, now that it is made public, it works against him. We could dictate that he does not shoot at all. Like Ever. That handcuffs him if he is skum, he literally can never take a night action until he is 100% sure no one can track watch whatever it may be.

The pro-town benefit of a hider is that the person can survive getting shot. Once it is known, it's literally only potentially bad for town to use it because of the risk of the double death since scum can just avoid wasting the shot on him. There is no reason not to go through with that exile unless you are completely convinced e is town beyond anyone else.

Also, I stil want to see an exile happen. I'd rather it is e as it seems like a very low risk, potential fake claim. But I'd jump to Galz, Didds, or even Swowl to get one.

Would you go to Glooble?

I don't see it swinging there at this point. But if it starts, I would do a quick reread and consider it

So to put it to the person I intended:

Math - I’m not asking for anybody additional to claim. But why do you list Swowl (who never had a wagon), WCD, e & me as options, but leave off Glooble completely (who did have a substantial wagon)?

Fair enough. He didn't ring bells for me like others did. So is want to skim again. But yes.

Also mobile posting, on the run, with almost dead battery. Going to plug in... back soon

I don't get how the claim is skummy. In the spot he was in I think skum claims something hoping to get a CC. Vig never CCs... they just shoot him if he isn't lynched.

I mean, if there isn't another vig in the game, it gives scum cover for actually killing. You yourself did this last game...

Completely different. I was playing off mix info post of a vig existing combined with the fact that yellow was gone. Figured yellow had the shot. Way safer claim.

Galz is day 1. High value claim. Except he picks the only one that would not CC him in this spot.

I get your point, it probably was way safer for you in that game, but it's not a 100% anyone as scum would go for CC. Highly likely, ok, probably; but certain players could go for the more high risk high reward play of getting the towncred after living while literally being clear to do the kills for their team.

You don’t, or shouldn’t, know that either of us is a misexile. Which is why yes, misexile IS better than No Exile - because it makes information public. It turns a player whom others have stated reads on into an IC. Added benefit from town!you perspective, either e or I could flip scum.

The only way we exile scum here is if everyone online is town. Excluding Galzria. Either that or I need to put my foot down and force an exile, which I don't think is the right play here.

I'm mostly going off e's case and read of Galzria here. If we kill neither, it will simply throw this away. If we flip one, the other should be much easier to read.

We should probably make a plan for who Galz shoots if e's exiled. I don't have one yet. I think Galz has to shoot. That would be the most pro-town thing to do if he's town. But I'm not sure.

Her statement is a vague “we”.

If I shoot her at night, regardless of alignment, the “we” of her grouping will have wished they exiled me.

If she’s town, then she’s saying as any other town would say: It’s better to Exile Galz and not let him shoot me because I’m town and that’s bad for town.

If she’s scum, then she’s saying as any other scum would say: It’s better to Exile Galz and not let him shoot me because I’m scum and that’s bad for scum.

 In the woods, a little further down the yellow brick road, a lion is cowering.

There's nothing unusual about this, he's generally afraid of everything. But in this particular case, he has something to be afraid of.

Because the Munchkins have discovered paw pads leading up to the crashed house, and they've decided to go Lion hunting.

"Are you sure this is him?" says Glinda.

"It's the only thing that makes sense!" the Mayor says.

"Aw shucks!" says the Lion. "Those are my tracks, but I weren't no witch! I just came to the village the other night to hide from some very tough-looking trees. I wasn't even here when the house fell!"

But the Munchkins are unconvinced. At their behest, Glinda casts a spell, trapping the Lion in a tiny pink bubble and casting him out of Oz for good.


2.71828.... has been exiled. He was the Cowardly Lion, a hider aligned with the good people of Oz.

Morning breaks in the land of Oz. Dorothy and the Scarecrow are still trotting down the yellow brick road. The Munchkins have wrongly exiled the Cowardly Lion. But it's a new day and there's still witches to find.

Unfortunately, all is not well in the Emerald City. The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz receives a distressing report: The Doorman of Oz, beloved moustachio'd man that he is, was found dead.

Oz immediately sends for Glinda. Something must be done.


Awaclus has been killed in the night. He was the Doorman of Oz, a jailkeeper aligned with the good people of Oz.

With 11 alive, it takes 6 to exile. Day 2 begins now and ends Thursday, September 2 at 10:00 pm forum time.

Iguana definitely looked scrambled D1, but never having played with him before, I wanted to see it through the day. No point in starting wagons on 2 of them though... one at a time for now.

If she’s scum, she has partners. If she’s not, she’s a bad exile. For reasons that I suspect are good, it’s best to leave it there.

We should probably exile Galzria.

Not that I thought about it, I'm on vacation rn so I didn't reread anything.

I'll have real plans starting Tuesday.

Of all the people to test your theory, pubby, why vote Didds?

Galzria, why do I know if you should claim? You know your own action.

Good morning!

Scum team is Glooble, Iguana, Didds. Didds is the most obvious one.

There was some panic in the scum team early on with wagons around Glooble and Didds. They rallied to save each other, then hopped on the first alternative wagons. This is why all three voted late.

Vote: Didds

I doubt I'll be active much tomorrow BTW.

I find pubby’s claim that both Glooble and I are scum completely absurd. The odds of having two scum wagons that deep that early in the game would have to be astronomical. Absent that, that this was the first post and then outta here without any discussion of the night actions is annoying at best and anti town at worst.

As to the reasons pubby provided for his vote. Panic…uhm no. I didn’t feel panic. Perhaps he meant scrambling. But again, no… I wasn’t scrambling. I was torn because I did’t want to vote for e because I thought he was town. So, the question I wanted to know the answer to was it better to exile town or no exile. In the end it didn’t matter, Iguana showed up and MiX hammered. If I was scum, why leave it to chance? Why not hammer? But the even better argument would be if the three of us were working together why would we collide to oust the hider instead of the vig? The big is far more dangerous to scum. That would have been the smarter play.

I can see a narrative for Glooble and iguana working in concert. But all three of us? That is in no way clear to me.  Iguana was pretty much voting for me all day yesterday, which also doesn’t seem scum partnery.

Iguana definitely looked scrambled D1, but never having played with him before, I wanted to see it through the day. No point in starting wagons on 2 of them though... one at a time for now.

But this is even more interesting to me! Math is saying “yes! That’s it! Iguana looked like he was scrambling so I’ll vote for WCD!” How the heck does that follow. Math isn’t scum, but that logic is severely lacking.

But this is even more interesting to me! Math is saying “yes! That’s it! Iguana looked like he was scrambling so I’ll vote for WCD!” How the heck does that follow. Math isn’t scum, but that logic is severely lacking.

I'm not sure if pubby got 3 right. But getting at least 2 seems plausible, given D1 stuffs. I jumped on early, just to put extra pressure. I currently feel pubby is more likely to be town than at least Glooble and Iguana. So let's see what kind of defenses pop up.

It was in the claims. EFHW had tracked me. I had made Swowl invisible, but I said I hadn’t targeted him. It starts here ( http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20811.1300) 

Jimmmm has a site where we used to play, and i was scum with faust in one of those and messed up the claims badly and got caught.

So, pretty much I suck at fake claiming.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: iguanaiguana on August 29, 2021, 09:05:19 pm
I'm having to get going again soon here before I do all the massive amount of work I want to do on this day. But before I get going, I just want to point out something that struck me as a really scummy post.

Galzria, can you claim?

I am the Tin Man.

Do you want me to claim my PR?

Most likely, yes.

I am Dorothy’s protector by flavor provided.

I am a 2-shot Vig.

I don’t shoot as Vig, so I’m essentially a VT, which is why my Exile is better than No Exile as it generates information at the very least while losing a PR that won’t be used.

That said, if I *did* shoot i could’ve helped resolv the e situation (if I understand correctly) if he didn’t get exiled which is why I advocated going back to WCD here.

So here's a few things, some of them are speculative and not all of these speculations are the type that usually get much credence around here, but, they are compelling to me and so I need to share them.

1) Galz claims tin man. If I am modding this game, I am going to give at least 1 of tin man, scarecrow, or lion to scum as a fake claim. When Dorothy is already IC, you don't just give all three of tin man, scarecrow and lion to town. That would hurt scum, so you give them a strong fake claim of one of those. Therefore, since the lion has already flipped town, tin man is a suspicious claim. Hell, to the town!scarecrow, if there is one, this should be a hella suspicious claim.

2) Galz claims his flavor indicates he is 'the protector of dorothy,' but his role is not a protective role. Once again, hella suspicious. To me, it indicates that Galzria could be scum, and he was given a fake claim of "tin man, protector of Dorothy" with an actual protective ability for a fakeclaim.... THEN... he decided to claim 2-shot vig instead because 2-shot vig claim worked better for his scum plan. ALSO, we've already seen a protective town role flip in the jailkeeper flip. ALSO... I will go as far as to say that my role flavor text does make poetic sense. So I know that Joth writes flavor text that makes poetic sense for at least some roles. So for Galz's to be all funky like that "protector of Dorothy whose job is to shoot people"... hella suspicous.

3)Also... why the hell would the tin man be a 2-shot vig? Tin man don't got no gun!! Tin man off looking for his HEART. That's another thing that does not make poetic sense about Galz's claim.

4) Finally, as noted, Galz claiming 2-shot vig is just suspicious in general. Its a convenient claim. It gives him license to kill as scum without tracker or watcher seeing it. And tying it all in with his established no-shoot meta is convenient. Also, only one death last night.

Okay, that's all for now. Please consider it!!!

Whether or not the argument is good, this was the reaction I had after Galz claimed EoD1 yesterday. So for people confused why I pushed e, hemmed and hawed, switched to Galz, then finally gave up and voted e again only after it was clear that the Galz exile was impossible... Now you know why.

Umm, there's definitely something here. ^^ (scarecrow, lion, tin man, but why?) That gives me hope that there is information in previous (and likely future) mod messages.

Also iguana seems to have found some possible inconsistencies in Galz's claim, which I believe I and one other person (may have been iguana) started mentioning D1. I also agree about the poetic-ness of my role and flavour, and it doesn't quite match for Galz.

Galz, what say you? Are you withholding some information from us?

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: pubby on August 30, 2021, 01:47:44 am
If you only read part of my post, read the reply to the quote below.

Can you point to the posts that seemed either panicked or rallying?
The panic was post #313 and #314, where Iguana and Didds pushed to defend glooble without any reason or any reason to. They seemed rather concerned about exiling an innocent man...

Then something suspicious happens.

Iguana brings Galz to L-1. This means all 3 of Glooble/Iguana/Didds are now on the Galz wagon. Exiling the town vig will draw way too much scrutiny to the wagon, so Didds hops off. But then her next post she says, "Mix, you’d rather see no exile than Galz? You sure?". She pushing to exile before the day is up!

So lemme get this straight. She wants an exile, just after unvoting an L-1 candidate, and only a day after discouraging the Glooble wagon. This is what I call the rally.

So OK, Glooble and Iguana rapidly switch their vote to e once Didds leaves. Now e is at L-1, and Didds can get the exile she wants. But again, having all 3 scum jump on the wagon at the end would draw too much scrutiny, so Didds can't join it. She says she doesn't want to vote for e, but doesn't provide any defense to him in the manner she did for glooble. She says she can vote for Galz again though - maybe it's because her buddies are off him now? So instead she tries to convince MiX to be the e hammer, and succeeds. Read her posts - she's persurading MiX to vote for e instead of doing it herself. It's funny, she said she had to go to the vet and wouldn't be around for the end, but then posts 18 minutes later and 1 minute after MiX votes.

Pubby, how do you explain iguana and Glooble both being on Didds at one point?
I mean it's normal for scum to vote for each other at some point of the game, and D1 is a common time for that. Makes them look less like buddies.

Of all the people to test your theory, pubby, why vote Didds?
Didds is behaving too similarly to the last time I played with her (Dwarf). She was scum in that game. In my observation when she is town she is more laid back and less defensive and posts more chit-chat. When she is scum she puts on a theater of being helpful at every chance she gets, e.g. her posting the entire d1 vote history or taking 2 posts to explain the prior games she was in.

It's to say he thinks he knows the entire scum team, and doesn't even need to hear what might have happened with night actions or anyone else's reads or thoughts on the game state before voting them down one after another.
Your viewpoint does not consider that I may have my own night actions and information. I'm not saying I do, just pointing out that your viewpoint lacks it.

I find pubby’s claim that both Glooble and I are scum completely absurd. The odds of having two scum wagons that deep that early in the game would have to be astronomical. Absent that, that this was the first post and then outta here without any discussion of the night actions is annoying at best and anti town at worst.
Assuming 3 scum in a game of 13, the probability of 2 out of 4 wagons being scum is like 12+% or something. Not astronomical. Revealing night actions without discussing votes from the day prior first is annoying at best and anti town at worst. Or maybe it's fine to do either or.

-

I'll end this post with an interesting observation. If Glooble/Iguana/Didds (hereby known as GID) were town, presumably scum would have made a move on them after my post. I'm not saying they would go all-out, but it would be reasonable for scum to brew some suspicion on GID based on my post. One person bit: Mathdude. He voted for Didds, then when that didn't take off he changed it to Iguana.

This is pretty useful information IMO.

Scenario 1: Mathdude is scum, hoping to use my post to his advantage. I mean, reading his old posts it seems plausible. He wanted to exile Awaclus d1 for example.
Scenario 2: Mathdude is town, meaning zero scum jumped on my GID post. But that's super weird, right? A big fat juicy finger point at 3 potential people and no scum jumped on it? Instead they defended GID? Nah, with this scenario it's more likely that GID contains 2+ scum and they're looking out for each other.

Other explanations don't seem feasible to me. They can't all 4 be town, because again, the entire scum team would be ignoring my post to instead defend townies. And they can't all 4 be scum - partly because 4 scum is unlikely in a 13 player game - but also because mathdude would be sabotaging the team by trying to exile them. This last point also applies to mathdude being scum along with some of GID.

So I'll posit this: The majority of GID has the opposite alignment to Mathdude. Proving one alignment will prove the other. And I'm putting my money on Scum!GID.

Whether or not the argument is good, this was the reaction I had after Galz claimed EoD1 yesterday. So for people confused why I pushed e, hemmed and hawed, switched to Galz, then finally gave up and voted e again only after it was clear that the Galz exile was impossible... Now you know why. It was for things that I was feeling in my heart about FLAVOR TEXT.

Why the hell did you not say that yesterday?

Why do people not share their reasons to vote??

Why do I have to guess how strong scumreads are?? ??

Why couldn't Awaclus just say "I am also a protective role so I trust e" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

pubby, it's good to see a longer post from you, but I can't help but feel your energy is misdirected. At this point in the game, we need to find a single scum, going hard for pretty involved partner theories isn't going to do any good.

Plus, much of the argument you presented seems to hinge on Galz being town, but I didn't see you provide a reason for that.

unvote

I'm heading out for some backwoods camping shortly. I will likely have no cell service, and even if I do, my battery won't last very long. I'll be back, likely around 3 to 5pm (forum time) on Thursday, so I will be around for end of D2.

But this is why I tried to jump on things early today. I did nothing at night, so it was either continue discussion from D1 or jump on the starting discussions today.

RM57 - Westworld mafia is the last time I was scum (I looked it up.)

So basically when you're scum, you post 6 times then replace out?

Totally forgot that I replaced out of that game. I was just looking through role PMs to find a red one.

I'll try and find a full game where I was scum. But it's been a while.

Okay, second thing on my list is to take a good close look at everything related to pubby.

vote: iguanaiguana

Out of the gate, pubby votes for me.

Ok, time for an embarassing post.

Lalight is not playing :(

I just realized this... right now. I think when I cast my first vote, I had just scanned the players and saw LL's name. Then for some reason Joth decided to make my vote for his comod count in the vote totals... which validated my feelings of LL playing this game. Today I looked to try to figure out why he hadn't posted yet... and ... yeah... Lol, I failed.
In other words you felt obligated to vote for someone in your opening post and didn't care who. Scummy much?

In pubby's first substantive post, his maybe-rvs-vote on me has hardened into a SERIOUS SCUM READ. At this point in the game, I was actually town reading pubby for this. I figured he started with a scum read on me, and confirmation bias was pushing him to continue reading everything I was saying as scum. I figured if he continues to see me play he will re-evaluate at some point (spoiler warning!! this never happens!)

I've been somewhat suspicious of glooble. Their first few posts were terse and seemed like they were just going through the motions. Then they jump into an argument with faust, acting defensively when the actual topic of discussion didn't require it.

But for now I'm fine with parking my vote on iguana. Swowl I read as town.

The conspiracy theory begins to form in pubby's second substantive post. Now it's not just Iguana... but Glooble is looking like scum too. I'll note here that his nod to Swowl - "Swowl I read as town" with no reasons given - is pretty out of character for him this game. By and large he's going to talk about nothing except for GID.

This shouldn’t be a choice between Glooble and me.
Yeah it's awful. I would vote for both of you if I could  8)

Glooble is a really bad vote. I'm at work so kinda busy today. Yes I knew Didds, I maybe didn't play with her quite as much as the others
What makes him a really bad vote? This is d1. Our decisions can't be *that* informed.

At what point do I claim, given that once my role is revealed we will need time to find an alternate wagon?
You just hinted you have an important role, no? That's almost as bad as a full claim.

His third substantive post. I have to say... I kind of love this post. So, Pubby is currently voting for me, right? That was his first vote & post of the game and it never changes D1. But here he suggests essentially that if he had a SECOND and a THIRD vote... he'd complete the trio and vote Glooble Iguana Didds. GID!!! He's found the whole scum team!!!

In addition to that, he interrogates my town read on Glooble... (Impossible that anyone could be so CERTAIN!!! Okay... that's a little ironic though.) and chides Glooble with "That's almost as bad as a full claim." In other words... you sure are playing bad town by hinting you have a strong PR.... so you must be scum!!! Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me, sorry.

Don't go voting for e. Galzria is a much better exile.

So are like, a bunch of people. You could start a wagon on pubby, or Dylan or someone.

I'm throwing this faust post in as well for a reason. Aside from Glooble, Swowl, and myself... No one else yet has even talked about pubby until faust comes in and says this. It's almost eerie how little interaction with anyone that pubby gets away with day one.

Scum team is Glooble, Iguana, Didds. Didds is the most obvious one.

There was some panic in the scum team early on with wagons around Glooble and Didds. They rallied to save each other, then hopped on the first alternative wagons. This is why all three voted late.

Vote: Didds

I doubt I'll be active much tomorrow BTW.

Okay... now we're on to D2. We've seen two town flips & had 48 hours to consider the error of our ways. Most people are going to have reconsidered some thing about the game.... Not pubby though. GID was good enough for D1 and it's definitely where he's sticking D2.

The case is not making much sense though. Here is the wagon at the point which he calls "some panic... early on."

Vote Count 1.3.MiX

WestCoastDidds (4): Galzria, iguanaiguana, Glooble, EFHW
Glooble (3): WestCoastDidds, Dylan32, MiX
Swowl (2): faust, Awaclus
2.71828.... (1): Swowl
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
EFHW (1): 2.71828....

Not voting (1): mathdude

But... there was not "panic" when I made a somewhat big post with a case on Didds out of the blue D1. At that point... only Galzria had been voting her and for reasons that most people didn't really agree with. The next person to hop on was Glooble. So we have a wagon on Didds that is Galzria, Iguana, Glooble, then EFHW joins the wagon due to a mix of agreeing with me and her own reasons.

Around the same time, WCD votes for Glooble, and we get Dylan & MiX joining. According to the scum team that pubby has made up, we would have two wagons on scum at this point... the first two wagons created thus far in the game... and the reason they were created is because... scum made the cases for them? And the fact that we created wagons on ourselves makes us panicked?

Also... all three voted late? No... all three of us were hyper present at the end of the day. We each had our opinions on where we should vote... they did not perfectly align... and we ended up compromising partially based on what each of the other active players wanted and where the votes on the inactive players had landed. I was sitting there doing calculations making sure that we literally did not have the votes to go back to Galzria before I caved and voted e in the last few minutes. But I also voted for e early! and then voted for Galzria! So saying I "hopped on that wagon" late is the same kind of mischaracterization of my behavior that pubby started the game out with.

It was this post D2 that really made me think pubby is more likely scum. I mean, there is confirmation bias and then there is a complete refusal to reconsider your reads whatsoever.... along with a complete lack of even trying to read anyone else for over a week. To me... It's starting to look like scum!pubby cast about for a narrative he could build of towns being scums. Once he found one, he decided to stick with it.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: iguanaiguana on August 30, 2021, 02:01:20 pm
No read of pubby would be complete without a look into his most recent long post... so here goes! I'm not going to quote the whole things... just some highlights.

If you only read part of my post, read the reply to the quote below.

Can you point to the posts that seemed either panicked or rallying?
The panic was post #313 and #314, where Iguana and Didds pushed to defend glooble without any reason or any reason to. They seemed rather concerned about exiling an innocent man...
The post of mine he's referencing is where I say "Glooble is a really bad vote." Look... Glooble had just recently accused Swowl of rolefishing. The conversation was awkward and not good for town... but to me it indicated that Glooble might have a good PR. That along with what I read as pro-town play from Glooble was more than enough D1 to motivate me to say "Glooble is a really bad vote." Of course I didn't want to spell out the reasons. Why would I want to spell it out even more for scum where the strong PRs are?

Quote
Then something suspicious happens.

Iguana brings Galz to L-1. This means all 3 of Glooble/Iguana/Didds are now on the Galz wagon. Exiling the town vig will draw way too much scrutiny to the wagon, so Didds hops off. But then her next post she says, "Mix, you’d rather see no exile than Galz? You sure?". She pushing to exile before the day is up!

Before the day was up? Wrong. The vote count put out just after Galz was at L-1 indicates there were two hours left in the day. Everything that happened at this point and after was totally last minute scrambling.

Also, if we were the team, how could we have put Galz to L-1 knowing that no town is going to hammer that? e was even not voting at that point and could have hammered there to save himself... If we were performatively voting Galz with an actual intention of getting e exiled instead, that would have just been a lot of unnecessarily putting ourselves in a delicate situation. Sorry, but this theory is super convoluted at best.
 
Quote
It's to say he thinks he knows the entire scum team, and doesn't even need to hear what might have happened with night actions or anyone else's reads or thoughts on the game state before voting them down one after another.
Your viewpoint does not consider that I may have my own night actions and information. I'm not saying I do, just pointing out that your viewpoint lacks it.

No, even if you do have private information... my point is that you did not wait for anyone else to share any of any of their information before putting all of your cards on the table and claiming to have found out the entire scum team. In a game that is predicated around consensus building... the only thing you have shown any sustained interest in this game is your own GID theory. You do not seem to care what anyone else thinks except to convince them to agree with you. My point is very much valid. Again, I can't help but feel that you are twisting my words.

Quote
I'll end this post with an interesting observation. If Glooble/Iguana/Didds (hereby known as GID) were town, presumably scum would have made a move on them after my post. I'm not saying they would go all-out, but it would be reasonable for scum to brew some suspicion on GID based on my post. One person bit: Mathdude. He voted for Didds, then when that didn't take off he changed it to Iguana.

Here's another theory for you! Not many people voted in agreement with your case... because your case is not very good! faust and EFHW both interacted with it. They totally shot it down. If your theory is correct, those people are town. If your theory is wrong, maybe one or both of them is scum. Either way... in general people aren't going to bite on any kind of theory where you spell out an entire scum team at the start of the day Day 2. That's just the game, sorry.

I really WANT to vote pubby right now. But I am going to force myself to do due diligence and read some of his previous games first to get a sense of whether he's always this hardened in his reads in town games and whether he's behaved like this before as scum. Again, help would be appreciated. Digging for informative games through someone's posting history is hard.

And yeah, I'm out of time to play for today. The rest of the stuff I want to do will have to wait for tomorrow.

Well,  the case from pubby had more to it than I expected, but iguana's defense has more. Also, after making his case, pubby then wants to scumread math for jumping on it. I kind of agree with him there, but his thinking math looks scummy makes me wonder if pubby really means what he is saying about GID.  I'll stay on pubby since I'm there now, while mentioning that I'm also not feeling good about mathdude.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: WestCoastDidds on August 30, 2021, 04:39:56 pm

I am not going to respond to most of pubby's post because its long and convoluted and doesnt make sense to me.  He has scum creating, advocating for, and running up wagons on each other. He has me bussing despite the fact that is not in my playstyle at all, and is generally crediting me with a plan that in no way way make sense.  However, two points merit response.

Iguana brings Galz to L-1. This means all 3 of Glooble/Iguana/Didds are now on the Galz wagon. Exiling the town vig will draw way too much scrutiny to the wagon, so Didds hops off. But then her next post she says, "Mix, you’d rather see no exile than Galz? You sure?". She pushing to exile before the day is up!

So lemme get this straight. She wants an exile, just after unvoting an L-1 candidate, and only a day after discouraging the Glooble wagon. This is what I call the rally.

So instead she tries to convince MiX to be the e hammer, and succeeds. Read her posts - she's persurading MiX to vote for e instead of doing it herself. It's funny, she said she had to go to the vet and wouldn't be around for the end, but then posts 18 minutes later and 1 minute after MiX votes.

Pushing to exile before the day was up? We were two hours from deadline when I made that comment.  In no world is that early.  Pubby wasn't even around for the end of the day, so maybe he wasn't aware how time was working, but that is the most charitable read I can give him.

Pushing for a hammer? Persuading Mix to hammer?  What game are you playing? I was far more in favor of no exile than exiling town, and preferred Galz to e.  There is not a scenario where e was my choice or my idea of my exile.

Finally, it is SUPER NOT COOL to imply that am I am lying about my real world commitment in the run up to deadline. My vet is a mile away. It took a few minutes to get there, get my cat, and bring him home from his surgery.  Further, when I got to the vet I had to wait on them to get him so had a few minutes to check the game.  I was trying to do my part and help town and didn't want to leave anyone hanging so I said where I'd be.  Where were you? Why were you not available at deadline? Availability or not is not scummy. If it were you'd be scummy for parking your vote on a non-wagon and refusing to move it even though town needed votes. While the game involves deception, accusing someone of lying about their circumstances is beyond the bounds of okay by me.

I'm open to a pubby exile, but I'd like to look more into yesterday's e wagon to see who looks scummy on it.

Awaclus casts the first vote for e, based on e's criticism of my vote for pubby. Then MiX joins the wagon.

Swowl then votes e for bringing up the possibility of a D1 mass claim.

Awaclus votes for Swowl, unvoting e. MiX unvotes. Awaclus switches back to e, doesn't give a reason. MiX switches back to e again.

I then switch my vote to e because I'm townreading Didds slightly for backing down rather than pushing my exile.

mathdude joins the wagon without much explanation, putting e at L-2. For my money this is one of the scummier votes, but I admit mine doesn't look great either.

faust comes in critical of the e exile. Town points.

Galz votes for e, with two votes for himself. Hedges about it. Kinda scummy.

MiX switched to Galz.

Dylan puts e to L-1, saying he thinks "e is more likely to flip scum than Galz". This is a nothing statement. I also find this vote potentially scummy.

E claims at L-1

MiX declares that e is town, despite a difficult-to-verify claim.

Awaclus switches to Galz, putting him at L-1. MiX and Galzria switch their votes to Didds, putting e at a same-seeming L-3.

Galz claims, and I switch my vote from e to Galz. Seems more likely to get through, plus a vig who won't vig doesn't seem like a huge loss to me.

Galz swaps his vote to e again. I switch back to e as Galz wagon seems stalled and I want to get an exile through. iguanaiguana votes e, reluctantly, for the same reasons.

Hammer by the IC.

Sorry for the wall of text.  Final wagon is Swowl, mathdude, Dylan32, Galzria, Glooble,  iguanaiguana, MiX, but that order is deceptive with so much unvoting and switching. Technically Awaclus started the wagon but he didn't end up on it, despite voting for e twice. Swowl was the third vote onto e and stayed there throughout all the moving around that happened. Galzria pretty clearly jumped on as an act of self-preservation, and iguana, MiX and myself were all just trying to get any exile through. Put all this together and it has the makings of a pretty townie wagon. Scummiest members are mathdude and Dylan imo. They both got onto e when there were multiple viable wagons, didn't give compelling reasons, and disappeared conveniently during the end-of-day scramble. Granted that last one might have been due to irl concerns, but still, that's where I want to exile today. Or pubby, could still do that. Or maybe Galz, iguana's Galz case has some merit.

vote: Dylan32 for now.

I wasn't online right at deadline because I had class. Otherwise I would have swapped to Galz, but as of the last time I was online it didn't seem possible.

Iguana reads as town to me. His defense against Pubby's post sounded more like a townie's defense, and a lot of my thoughts (not all, but a lot) have been mirrored in things they've said before I manage to get on and catch up, so that seems townie to me. I agree that the GID theory is probably wrong on the whole, but I remember being in some games as town where I thought I had figured out the scum team really early and it can be hard to shake that thought, so I don't necessarily think Pubby is scum for trying to prove his case.

vote: Dylan32 for now.

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but Glooble has been building a pretty nice tunnel on me this game. Not to the point of resisting voting elsewhere or anything, but from the opening RVS comment referring back to last game to basically every time they've mentioned more than one read at a time they've included me. This is literally just confirmation bias (if town)/intentional targeting (if scum). Like, you say that I and mathdude (maybe he did, but I don't remember and am only speaking for myself) got on at a time where there were multiple viable wagons. This is only sort of true. Galz and e were both at X-2, and nobody had claimed at that point yet. I didn't only say e was more likely to flip scum than galz...

After reading both e and galz, I just think e is more likely to flip scum than galz. Also, galz, as e admitted, had really good points countering the case.

Vote: e

L-1

--snip--

I thought e was scummier than galz at that point, and in having to choose between the two of them for the sake of consolidation, galz had the recent upper hand in their direct head-to-head conversations at that point, so e was the more logical choice. After they both claimed, I stuck by my decision for e and gave reasons for doing so. Was I wrong about e? Yup. Was exiling him better than Galz? TBD depending on Galz's alignment and whether they shoot scum or not. Was exiling e better than pushing a 3rd person (who statistically would have been more likely to be town than scum) up and getting another claim? Most likely. We got kind of lucky in that even if we did end up with two wagons on town, we managed to do that, get an informative flip, and NOT out our presumably stronger roles than a hider and a vig who generally won't shoot. So yeah, I'm sad I was wrong, but I stand by the process that got there.

Ok, I read a lot of pubby's posts in games that he's played. Good news, I like pubby a lot better now! I guess because I read some of his posts where he wasn't just nonstop tunneling me. I've never seen pubby play like he's playing in this current game. Also, he's never been scum before (that I could find) outside of one beer themed bastard game. Notably, in the dwarf bastard game that just finished, he had really good reads (he kept saying that Galz/Didds/Awa was the team.. Galz/Didds was correct) but he also second guessed himself a lot and ended up voting outside of his correct guess fequently. I've also seen Pubby in several games get heated/emotional about things... which is not something I'm seeing here at all. In this game, he's been quite level headed and cool with his pronouncements.

Yeah, I really like

Ok, I read a lot of pubby's posts in games that he's played. Good news, I like pubby a lot better now! I guess because I read some of his posts where he wasn't just nonstop tunneling me. I've never seen pubby play like he's playing in this current game. Also, he's never been scum before (that I could find) outside of one beer themed bastard game. Notably, in the dwarf bastard game that just finished, he had really good reads (he kept saying that Galz/Didds/Awa was the team.. Galz/Didds was correct) but he also second guessed himself a lot and ended up voting outside of his correct guess fequently. I've also seen Pubby in several games get heated/emotional about things... which is not something I'm seeing here at all. In this game, he's been quite level headed and cool with his pronouncements.

Yeah, I really like

The beer game (which had nothing to do with beer, god bless pubby's fakeclaim) sure felt like a RMM from my perspective, and I was his buddy that game. Can you go deeper into it and say if pubby looks similar or not?

"So what do you think about this whole evil witches thing?" Dorothy asks the Scarecrow.

"Think? Oh, I'm afraid I don't. You see, I don't have a brain!"

"But how are you walking and talking?!"

"Oh I don't know," he says. "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking. And voting for that matter."

As they chat, they come upon a metal man chopping wood. After introductions and the application of some oil, Dorothy asks the Tin Man a similar question.

"How do you feel about this whole business?"

"Feel? Oh I'm afraid I don't. You see, I don't have a heart!"

Pubby played bud idea quite differently to how he is playing now. He made up a whimsical fakeclaim & at least early on he was pretty all over the place with votes/reads/etc. I am not saying that pubby here looks like pubby in bud idea. I will say that no scum wants to exactly replicate their previous scum meta.

What convinced me it's a good vote is the contrast between pubby in recent town games and pubby here. To me, that is more relevant than a 2 year old bastard game. I can give evidence for that if you want.

Actually, fine. You were worth a vote!

You were worth a vote because you spent all of D1 pushing a town exile. You were super active, but you never switched your vote all day long... despite claims coming out. You were quite defensive of Galz and that led to the e exile. If it was T v T, it honestly doesn't look that scummy. But if Galz is scum, you look like a partner.

And that is really the best read I can have on you because you haven't interacted with very many other players. You've commented that you didn't jump on WCD or Glooble. You've commented that you think the people who voted for you are scummy. You've commented that you think Galz is really towny for a claim that I think is super scummy.... and I think my reasons are better than your reasons.

What else have you even done?

This post is scummy.

"The e wagon was bad" is a combination of "Well that sucked" and "I was on a different wagon than a town flip, so shame on all of you". They're both the style of thing more commonly expressed by scum than town.

The first part suggesting my shot be directed tonight is also scummy. But mostly because faust lays it out there to see if it'll start a conversation, but shows no signs of following up with the idea when nobody jumps on it.

Post by: Galzria on August 31, 2021, 02:37:52 pm
I'm having to get going again soon here before I do all the massive amount of work I want to do on this day. But before I get going, I just want to point out something that struck me as a really scummy post.

Galzria, can you claim?

I am the Tin Man.

Do you want me to claim my PR?

Most likely, yes.

I am Dorothy’s protector by flavor provided.

I am a 2-shot Vig.

I don’t shoot as Vig, so I’m essentially a VT, which is why my Exile is better than No Exile as it generates information at the very least while losing a PR that won’t be used.

That said, if I *did* shoot i could’ve helped resolv the e situation (if I understand correctly) if he didn’t get exiled which is why I advocated going back to WCD here.

So here's a few things, some of them are speculative and not all of these speculations are the type that usually get much credence around here, but, they are compelling to me and so I need to share them.

1) Galz claims tin man. If I am modding this game, I am going to give at least 1 of tin man, scarecrow, or lion to scum as a fake claim. When Dorothy is already IC, you don't just give all three of tin man, scarecrow and lion to town. That would hurt scum, so you give them a strong fake claim of one of those. Therefore, since the lion has already flipped town, tin man is a suspicious claim. Hell, to the town!scarecrow, if there is one, this should be a hella suspicious claim.

2) Galz claims his flavor indicates he is 'the protector of dorothy,' but his role is not a protective role. Once again, hella suspicious. To me, it indicates that Galzria could be scum, and he was given a fake claim of "tin man, protector of Dorothy" with an actual protective ability for a fakeclaim.... THEN... he decided to claim 2-shot vig instead because 2-shot vig claim worked better for his scum plan. ALSO, we've already seen a protective town role flip in the jailkeeper flip. ALSO... I will go as far as to say that my role flavor text does make poetic sense. So I know that Joth writes flavor text that makes poetic sense for at least some roles. So for Galz's to be all funky like that "protector of Dorothy whose job is to shoot people"... hella suspicous.

3)Also... why the hell would the tin man be a 2-shot vig? Tin man don't got no gun!! Tin man off looking for his HEART. That's another thing that does not make poetic sense about Galz's claim.

4) Finally, as noted, Galz claiming 2-shot vig is just suspicious in general. Its a convenient claim. It gives him license to kill as scum without tracker or watcher seeing it. And tying it all in with his established no-shoot meta is convenient. Also, only one death last night.

Okay, that's all for now. Please consider it!!!

This is an incredibly bad and scummy argument, and it is beyond ridiculous that faust hasn't called iguana out over this.

Iguana is arguing that my claim is scummy based almost entirely on "guess the mod".

1) It in no way would hurt scum if all three were town (if all three are even in the game), because any individual player does not know the alignment of any other player (save MiX). And this line of thinking is exceptionally scummy if all three ARE in the game and ARE town, because if I end up being exiled here, which is entirely possible today, you've pre-lined up the Scarecrow to be unable to claim safely down the line if they are also town (which if you were scum, you would know).

2) I don't know what to tell you. I'm Dorothy's friend, companion and protector. Like you said, there's already been 1.5 flipped protective roles, and who knows if more exist? What I do know is that my role is Vig, and that no player counter claimed me and I didn't die last night (which if I was lying and there was a town Vig in the game, they should've shot me last night).

3) I do not have guns, no. I have a wood-axe. It's for more than cutting lumber.

4) The claim in no way gives me "license to kill" without being tracked or watched. If I'm lying scum, there's no way I'm a Vig. If I'm tracked to a player and that player doesn't die, THAT's "hella suspicious". And if I'm tracked to a player and they DO die... but there's only one death that night (or again on future nights), that's ALSO "hella suspicious". And a Watcher would be exactly the same. If I'm seen targeting somebody but that player doesn't die... well, you get the idea.

4a) There was only one kill last night. This is correct. I did not shoot. The last post on the topic of shooting that I made yesterday before the exile was this:

Well that history makes that claim stupidly convenient.

All in favor of just exiling Galzria?

Galzria, if you live today, you have to shoot. And you should probably not shoot e. If you're already saying you're not going to do that, then we should just exile you as you won't be able to confirm your role.

It’s only convenient now that I had to claim it publicly 🙄

And yes, I will shoot now that it’s public - but there are many factors that can prevent my shot given my role is public knowledge to scum.

Honestly, best option is probably to Exile me.

If was going to draw a scum RB, then if I shot or not didn't matter. But there are far worse potential PR's scum could have. Bus Driver or Redirector both could've been disastrous. Given that my claim is 100% accurately known to scum, the last thing I wanted to give them was the power to manipulate another shot.

Shooting as a vig that is unknown to scum is already a generally bad idea. Shooting as a vig that scum knows about is foolish.

For the record, had I decided to shoot, this was the list of people I was looking at (in no particular order, because I didn't go back and do the full re-reads on each that I would've done if i was shooting. These were just the people I thought came off looking scummiest following the end of day yesterday):

Flavor texts are for those who are smart, courageous and kind.

Umm, there's definitely something here. ^^ (scarecrow, lion, tin man, but why?) That gives me hope that there is information in previous (and likely future) mod messages.

Also iguana seems to have found some possible inconsistencies in Galz's claim, which I believe I and one other person (may have been iguana) started mentioning D1. I also agree about the poetic-ness of my role and flavour, and it doesn't quite match for Galz.

Galz, what say you? Are you withholding some information from us?

I am not, no.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Galzria on August 31, 2021, 02:40:30 pm
Galz - what promted the "no MiX, I am not claiming" to the "Mix, do you want me to claim"?

Time, votes, and the way the thread was moving. Also didn't want to be an ass to MiX. He had asked once. I declined. He circled back and asked again. He knows that if I'm town I declined the first time for good reasons. But he doesn't know if I'm town. I know that he's trying his best to figure that out.

The first time he asked was right after e claimed. In the absence of any claims whatsoever I think my exile would've been the "safest" non-scum exile for town (that is, town would've lost the least in losing a PR that wouldn't get used). But with e's claim, I thought that exiling him, even if he flipped town, was better than exiling me at that point. The loss of his PR was almost as trivial as the loss of my PR would be, and at least with him there was a chance he could flip scum. Once that exile didn't materialize, the wagons shifted around some, and MiX asked again for my claim, it just seemed more prudent to abide. Even then, I only flavour claimed first, letting MiX decide if he wanted the whole thing or not.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: iguanaiguana on August 31, 2021, 03:08:47 pm
I'll retract most of my argument about Galz's claim being scummy. I think I overdid it.

1) I looked up about whether the tin man has any weapon and found he carries an axe. I did that in between posting my original argument and when Galz posted his thing.

2) His thing about how scarecrow/tin man/lion could all be town is true. I mean, as the mod, I'd still be very tempted to give one of those to scum for sake of balance but it's not a good reason to vote for any of them. I assent to that.

3) I'm starting to understand how claiming 2-shot vig is a tricky thing to do D1 as scum when you don't know what kind of investigative roles are around. So maybe 2-shot vig is not on its face the scummiest claim. That being said, I can't give Galz town points for the claim either. He has a long and storied history of making super bold fakeclaims as scum and then justifying them throughout the game until scum wins. It's basically his favorite thing to do.

I won't retract this part:

It is scummy to claim to be the tin man, protector of Dorothy, but then not claim a protective role. It is something that could happen if you are scum, and are given a protective role as a fakeclaim, then choose to claim a different sort of role instead on your own initiative without editing the flavor.

Extreme example: If Galz claimed "I am Groot, guardian of Dorothy" we should exile Galz. He just claimed to be Groot... who isn't in the wizard of oz. He probably altered the flavor of his role because he didn't like his fakeclaim. The purpose of this example is just to show that someone can make a bad flavor claim and that flavor can be the basis for choosing to exile someone.

Less extreme example: If Galz claimed... "I am Toto, the observer of Dorothy. My power is that I am a bodyguard." We...should exile Galz! His flavor would indicate he should have an investigative type of role... but his powers is not investigative. The powers do not match the flavor, a cue that Galz made an alteration to his mod-provided stuff. Town does not alter their claim... scum does.


So, my argument is just that. Galz's claim of powers does not match his claim of flavor, and it is scummy.

Finally, this is a bit scummy to me too:

-snip-
2) I don't know what to tell you. I'm Dorothy's friend, companion and protector.

Before, he was 'protector of Dorothy.' Now, he's 'friend, companion and protector." To me, Galz is trying to brush off here the one part of my argument that actually held water because he knows he can refute everything else I said. And he's also trying to muddy the fact that earlier in the game he claimed to be "protector of Dorothy."
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: iguanaiguana on August 31, 2021, 03:12:05 pm
Also also,

if Galz is some sort of passive role like Godfather or 1-shot BP scum, he totally can claim 2-shot vig and then just never shoot because he can pass the factional kill off to his scumbuddies and twiddle his thumbs at night. So it's not like 2-shot vig is exonerating in the least.

pubby for comin in weird/ calling the scum team based on faulty logic/ generally acting out-of-character from his town self

Dylan and mathdude for scummy placement on the wagon (Dylan over dude for me because of earlier scummy comments)

Swowl for acting scummy day 1 - pushing a lot of people but leaving his vote parked on e. (I still feel like I'm missing something here)

Galz because of his claim? Or iguana has redacted some of that. But Galz was almost the exile yesterday and those reasons still apply.

I'm considering renaming GID to GFD. Iguana willing to dig through all of my old games seems like too much work for scum to do. He also appears the least connected.

Here's the connection I spot with faust:

I will accept no exile before I vote for either Didds or Glooble.
He staunchly defend Didds and Glooble on d1 when they had their wagons going. No reason stated, just that he town-read them. And wanting to no-exile is out of character for faust, who often believes in playing rational meta moves (no exile isn't beneficial on d1 as it gives so little information for d2. I reckon faust has said this himself before).

I'm really not trying to convince anyone to no exile. It's just that if the choice is exile someone I townread or no exile, then I will choose no exile in this game.

If you want to make sure we get an exile, you could of course join me on a scummy player rather than, like Galzria, leave a pointless vote on a wagon that is never going to succeed because the IC (rightly) opposes it.
[...next post...]
Vote: Galzria

I've talked myself into a rage vote.
So now he says Galzria isn't scummy, but then votes for him anyway within minutes.

Didds exile lame exile. Let's all go exile Galzria.
Again, defending Didds for some reason while pushing for a Galzria exile, despite saying Galzria wasn't even that scummy. He really did not want Didds exiled d1.

faust comes in critical of the e exile. Town points.
Hey look Glooble says faust is townie.

Vote: Dylan
Mostly for his placement on the e wagon, but also because I trust faust.
Hey look WCD says faust is trustworthy.

pubby, it's good to see a longer post from you, but I can't help but feel your energy is misdirected. At this point in the game, we need to find a single scum, going hard for pretty involved partner theories isn't going to do any good.

Plus, much of the argument you presented seems to hinge on Galz being town, but I didn't see you provide a reason for that.
This is disingenuous. Not every game plays the same - there is no "we must be doing X at Y time". Finding multiple scum is obviously better than finding a single one and you should not poo-poo my attempts to investigate.

And I don't know what type of gotcha you think the last part is. Glooble said the same - that my arguments are flawed due to "logic". Literally every post in this thread, and in other mafia games, involves assumption and speculation, and yet they can still be useful despite failing as mathematical proofs. You know this, so stop being unhelpful.

Where did pubby go?

I don't see the towniness in mathdude. Maybe I don't read him well. His posts don't say much, so that makes me suspicious. Dylan is a good lurker exile. He hasn't done much scumhunting. I'd want to say the same of faust but I think he is vla? iguana is obv!tiwn. Galzria doesn't look great - weird case on Didds, odd claim. This is the first I remember Galz saying he doesn't shoot as vig. Does anyone remember that from other games? But I don't get scum vibes.

Didds said she was going to claim today. So I've been reserving judgment until I hear that. Is that still a plan?

Who have I forgotten? Swowl feels like Swowl. I always want to townread him. Glooble's been laying low somewhat today. pubby's case has probably derailed momentum on him and Didds if anything.

Staying on pubby. I can see a (murky) scum narrative there. Would vote Dylan to get an exile. I'm going to review my notes on Glooble, see if I still think the issues are issues.

PPE: Glooble, Awaclus is dead! Townpoints, there, I guess.

Can you talk about your strongest reads here?

I should reread because a lot of this is gut feelings.

So admittedly I don't know Dylan that well, we haven't played together a lot, but he's felt off to me all game in the few posts he's made, and with his scummy place on the wagon it just feels like a good exile to me. A lot of his posts have either been defending himself of trying to make something out of nothing. If I have time I'll ISO today.

pubby just came into day 2 very weird. His "I found the scum team" post doesn't feel towny to me. He lurked most of day 1 and wasn't on the wagon just by sheer not being around.

As I said before, I often scumread faust when he is in fact town, but the fact is scum!faust has a tendency to take charge and try and control the narrative more than town!faust does. But given that 1. faust is sort of VLA and 2. we have an IC, maybe that's NAI (since an IC will naturally sort of take over that leadership role by virtue of being someone everyone trusts. Even with all that though, I feel like scum!faust would be more of a presence, pushing town the way he wants us to go. That's the experience I've had playing against faust when he was scum, and that's why I feel like he's town now.

And yes, I forgot Awaclus was the nightkill. In my defense, he tends to post sporadically when he's alive.

Post by: iguanaiguana on September 01, 2021, 12:39:52 pm
Okay guys, It's time for Iguana's totally convoluted theory: GPD (Galzria, Pubby, Dylan32). (names arranged for maximum hilarious likeness to GID obvs  8)) 

First of all, this is some pretty hypothetical stuff coming right here.

IF the team is GPD, I'm in trouble tonight. It would mean all my reads are correct, and everyone town reads me. That would make me a huge liability for the scum team. Also, IF the team is GPD, MiX's reads are kind of lousy this game. Just sayin'. Right now MiX is not exactly projecting belief in GPD. Those two things would put me at a real risk of dying tonight. THEREFORE, I need to share some things with y'all now on the chance that I won't be able to do it later because I'll be dead.

So, if we exile Dylan today and he flips scum, PLEASE look at pubby and Galzria. Here's a few reasons why:

So I hadn't paid attention to the shorter deadlines, so realizing it's tomorrow, I'll Vote: Glooble for now. I don't have any strong scumreads yet, but there's actually been more good conversations that will be useful for scumhunting after a flip or two than I remember in recent RMM D1s (thanks to the relative lack of human/cylon/military/civilian/forwards-backwards-timeline oriented conversations lol).

Right now I think iguana is town, and Awaclus and faust are somewhat towny. I would be willing to exile basically any one of {Glooble, WCD, Swowl, e, EFHW}.

ppe 2

Dylan puts a couple towns on his town list, lists a bunch of towns as would exile, and totally ignores Pubby/Galz and a few others. Note that the only other people he ignores are MiX (obvs), Mathdude, and me. So the ommission of Galz and Pubby here is a pretty big chunk of the omitted players.

After reading both e and galz, I just think e is more likely to flip scum than galz. Also, galz, as e admitted, had really good points countering the case.

Vote: e

L-1
-snip-

Dylan comes back after some lurking and wants an e exile a lot more than a Galz exile. Note that several of his next posts argue pretty hard for the e exile... Is that something scum does in a T v T situation? (Again, I don't know for sure that Dylan is scum... this is my hypothetical contribution to D3 in case I die).

Vote Count 1.?.MiX

Galzria (6): faust, WestCoastDidds, EFHW, Awaclus, Glooble, iguanaiguana
2.71828.... (3): Swowl, mathdude, Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Glooble (1): Galzria

No exile (2): 2.71828...., MiX

This wagon is really really important!!!!!! faust, WCD and EFHW are the older votes on Galz. Then, after e's claim... a surge of new votes for Galz comes in. Awaclus is TOWN! Iguanaiguana is TOWN! Glooble is the only unknown here. In sum... I find it highly unlikely that both Galz and Glooble can be town... especially if Dylan flips scum. PLEASE don't forget this!!!

After Galz goes L-1, Dylan comes and says this:

Not necessarily intent right now, but I'm willing to hammer galz if I am not going to convince anyone to come back onto the e wagon.

If Dylan is scum, that's an indication that Galz is a partner if I've ever seen one. Dylan did not want the Galz exile... but didn't want to be off wagon if it was going to happen.

Iguana reads as town to me. His defense against Pubby's post sounded more like a townie's defense, and a lot of my thoughts (not all, but a lot) have been mirrored in things they've said before I manage to get on and catch up, so that seems townie to me. I agree that the GID theory is probably wrong on the whole, but I remember being in some games as town where I thought I had figured out the scum team really early and it can be hard to shake that thought, so I don't necessarily think Pubby is scum for trying to prove his case.

D2 now... and this really looks like a partner indication to pubby.

Post by: iguanaiguana on September 01, 2021, 12:41:52 pm
Obviously... if we exile Dylan and he flips town... time to re-evaluate everything. That would be fun, actually.

Also, if we exile Dylan... scum flip... then we exile Galz or Pubby for a town flip... I would be looking at mathdude or Swowl for the last scums.

Okay, now I'm basically done for the day.

Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and Toto come to the woods.

"I think there's a Lion around here who can help us," says the Scarecrow.

"Oh didn't you hear? He was exiled by Glinda after the Munchkins suspected him of witchcraft! We'll just have to get by with the three of us," says the Tin Man.

"Woof woof!" says Toto.

"Alright, alright, the four of us," the Tin Man corrects.

--

Meanwhile, Glinda arrives in the Emerald City and stands before Oz, the great and powerful, a monstrous green face surrounded by light and flames.

"Someone has murdered my doorman!" the Wizard rages. "We must discover who it is! Look under every rock and behind every curtain!"

"Including this curtain here?" asks Glinda.

"NO!" Oz bellows. "Pay no attention to that curtain!"

Sorry, work has had me busier this week than I expected. I will just say, I’ve been scum or not town quite a bit recently. Compare this game to any of those and see if it’s the same. If you want to exile me for lurking, I literally can’t argue with the logic… but if you’re trying to say I’m playing like scum, I’m better at faking scum hunting than actually doing it, hence my much, much better record in scum games than town games. I’ll try to spend some time reading tonight though, because I definitely haven’t been present enough.

Glooble Day 1:

I've looked back at my notes on Glooble and I see a lot of defensiveness and a couple things that are just odd. The first odd thing was "reasons" on pubby. This probably cemented him in a defensive position because so many people questioned it. Here is one of the times he refused:

The reasons were admittedly very flimsy, but its not pro-town to keep pushing me for them.

*breathe in breathe out*

fine. not going to gain anything out of this anyways.

to your point, whatever reasons you could possibly have cannot possibly carry any weight, so I will stop.

Wanna make it clear I am stopping NOT because it is not pro town to push you one this... completely 100% disagree with that.
I find it very odd that you would feel the need to say "I have reasons I don't want to share" and then down the road be like "oh they are so flimsy". I feel like you would normally open with "I have a gut read" or just a simply answer at first saying the reasons were a stretch or something.

I think it's pretty obvious that if a person says they have reasons and there is no extant public information to possibly explain those reasons, then the reasons must be based on information that is not public, and therefore to continue asking for them is rolefishing.

He keeps saying he'd rather not share his reasons, but then he does a 180 at 308 and confesses he doesn't actually remember what the reasons were. That doesn't make sense to me. Did he not remember all along and tried to fake it? After all that pressure and deciding not to talk, and emphatically refusing, which must have taken some review of reasons, then he doesn't remember? So there's a real inconsistency there that could reflect trying to participate as scum.

The other odd thing is his comment that he doesn't keep his own role in mind when he is considering things like mass claims (emphasis added):

One might counter this by saying "well town should just answer without regard for their role". Which is saying, town should be disingenuous and do the thing that scum is also trying to do. This causes town to behave in a scum-like manner and thus muddies the water for scumhunting.

I don't personally think my opinion on a particular strategy is affected in anyway whatsoever by my current role. I would always think about it in the context of any roles that could theoretically be in the game, and I would expect the same of any town player. I don't see how that's disingenuous.
Seems strange not to take knowledge into account. You could have a role that says "if you target the Tracker, town wins". Surely that would influence your opinion on claiming. That is a ridiculously extreme example, but any role has a preference on knowing/not knowing roles to a lesser extent. If you don't take into account the knowledge that you have then you're not playing optimally.

I disagree. Even if I know that my own role benefits from or suffers from a mass claim, I don't know how scum are going to benefit or how that info might hurt other townies. I think considering your own role without thinking about what other roles might be in the game isn't playing optimally.

But whatever. We play the game differently, that's fine. You've convinced me that your objection wasn't alignment-indicative.

I feel like he went to far in that first statement, so he has to back up from it later, without acknowledging that he is changing to a very different position from where he started. So another awkwardness in posting leading to an inconsistency.

In 251, he says he is never useful Day 1 because he can't form reads. This is a pet peeve of mine. We're all useless that way. Is he asking for a Day 1 pass? Because then we all should get one. Probably NAI, except that it does contribute to the overall feeling of defensiveness.

He doesn't really participate in the EOD discussion, like most of us unfortunately (myself included, sorry!).

I agreed with him that Dylan's accusation of iguana having more information than he should was unwarranted. I also agreed that there was nothing preventing Didds from posting even if the massclaim argument went on for too long.

I'll look at Day 2 now.

Ok, I admit it.

I no longer have any idea why I said the word reasons.

That fact is, I wasn't thinking that much about it. Which is another thing that's townie, because as scum I consider my words a lot more carefully.

EFHW, what I said was I have no idea why I said the word reasons. That is emphatically not the same thing as not remembering what my reasons were. I meant I don't know what my reasons were for saying "because reasons" rather than just saying nothing.

I never said I didn't remember my reasons.

Also, the fact that you said "in 308" rather than quoting that post just now is kinda scummy. Because if you'd quoted it I think it would be obvious that it wasn't an inconsistency. So framing it that way is scummy.

I still feel there is a contradiction. You said "I don't personally think my opinion on a particular strategy is affected in anyway whatsoever by my current role." Then in talking to faust you restated your position as "I think considering your own role without thinking about what other roles might be in the game isn't playing optimally."

These are not the same things. You changed the argument from "don't think about your own role" to "if you do think about your own role, make sure you think about other people's roles, too." faust had been arguing against the categorical statement you made first. He never said consider only your own role.

I think in the context of the discussion we were having its basically the same thing, but also why would that sort of inconsistency make me more likely to be scum? Scum are going to be inconsistent when talking about the specific game they are playing because they are having to keep track of a lie, but when talking in a more general sense I expect scum to be more consistent, since people watch their words more carefully as scum.

I think in the context of the discussion we were having its basically the same thing, but also why would that sort of inconsistency make me more likely to be scum? Scum are going to be inconsistent when talking about the specific game they are playing because they are having to keep track of a lie, but when talking in a more general sense I expect scum to be more consistent, since people watch their words more carefully as scum.

The pattern did depend on you being off-balance in posting as scum. So I will abandon the case. But I do think you changed your argument there without acknowledging it.

As for your second "inconsistency" that's also simply not true. The first statement was about me, the second was about faust. There's no contradiction there.

I still feel there is a contradiction. You said "I don't personally think my opinion on a particular strategy is affected in anyway whatsoever by my current role." Then in talking to faust you restated your position as "I think considering your own role without thinking about what other roles might be in the game isn't playing optimally."

These are not the same things. You changed the argument from "don't think about your own role" to "if you do think about your own role, make sure you think about other people's roles, too." faust had been arguing against the categorical statement you made first. He never said consider only your own role.

This is incredibly consistent if you're not trying to use it to shade Glooble. One says what Glooble does, the other says what Glooble thinks.
I disagree, but it doesn't matter much right now.

One might counter this by saying "well town should just answer without regard for their role". Which is saying, town should be disingenuous and do the thing that scum is also trying to do. This causes town to behave in a scum-like manner and thus muddies the water for scumhunting.

I don't personally think my opinion on a particular strategy is affected in anyway whatsoever by my current role. I would always think about it in the context of any roles that could theoretically be in the game, and I would expect the same of any town player. I don't see how that's disingenuous.
Seems strange not to take knowledge into account. You could have a role that says "if you target the Tracker, town wins". Surely that would influence your opinion on claiming. That is a ridiculously extreme example, but any role has a preference on knowing/not knowing roles to a lesser extent. If you don't take into account the knowledge that you have then you're not playing optimally.

I disagree. Even if I know that my own role benefits from or suffers from a mass claim, I don't know how scum are going to benefit or how that info might hurt other townies. I think considering your own role without thinking about what other roles might be in the game isn't playing optimally.

But whatever. We play the game differently, that's fine. You've convinced me that your objection wasn't alignment-indicative.

Does this help clarify that Glooble's stance didn't change, EFHW?

Also want to take a look at EFHW, who it feels like nobody is aware is even playing (don’t mean anything by that Efoo - just that nobody seems to have any interactions with you or reads on you).

I've noticed that, too. Glooble did the whole history of votes for e and left out mine. But unobtrusiveness can come in handy. More so as scum, but still.

No. He said not affected in any way whatsoever by his current role. That's an extreme statement. faust challenges him on it, and his answer to faust suggests he thinks faust was saying only think about your own role, which of course faust wasn't saying. It's at that point he changes his position to match what faust was actually already saying, but as if faust had been saying something else.

It seems that Glooble wasn’t super careful with his language choices, but I am following this train of thought. Generally, I think that kid of nonchalance from him isn’t scummy in the way it might be for other folks.

EFHW generated quite a bit of content about it, though, which has increased her level of engagement, but I’m not sure how quality the enagement has been. I do think she’s asking good questions,,though.

I could talk iguana. Or Glooble. Either could be a good place to start today.

What’s your 411 on iguana?

Not sure if "I could talk iguana" means I could/would vote there, or just they are a good person to talk about first. If it's the latter, this really just dodged and turned around mathdude's question asking specifically for Galz's thoughts back to mathdude.

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Dylan32 on September 01, 2021, 09:53:08 pm
Good morning!

Scum team is Glooble, Iguana, Didds. Didds is the most obvious one.

There was some panic in the scum team early on with wagons around Glooble and Didds. They rallied to save each other, then hopped on the first alternative wagons. This is why all three voted late.

Vote: Didds

I doubt I'll be active much tomorrow BTW.

I find pubby’s claim that both Glooble and I are scum completely absurd. The odds of having two scum wagons that deep that early in the game would have to be astronomical. Absent that, that this was the first post and then outta here without any discussion of the night actions is annoying at best and anti town at worst.

As to the reasons pubby provided for his vote. Panic…uhm no. I didn’t feel panic. Perhaps he meant scrambling. But again, no… I wasn’t scrambling. I was torn because I did’t want to vote for e because I thought he was town. So, the question I wanted to know the answer to was it better to exile town or no exile. In the end it didn’t matter, Iguana showed up and MiX hammered. If I was scum, why leave it to chance? Why not hammer? But the even better argument would be if the three of us were working together why would we collide to oust the hider instead of the vig? The big is far more dangerous to scum. That would have been the smarter play.

Vote Count 1.MiX
Galzria (5): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds, EFHW, Awaclus
2.71828.... (4): Swowl, Glooble, mathdude, Dylan32
WestCoastDidds (2): MiX, Galzria
Swowl (1): iguanaiguana
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Not voting (0):

7 to exile. 3 hours to deadline.

What's the plan?

I can see a narrative for Glooble and iguana working in concert. But all three of us? That is in no way clear to me.  Iguana was pretty much voting for me all day yesterday, which also doesn’t seem scum partnery.

Iguana definitely looked scrambled D1, but never having played with him before, I wanted to see it through the day. No point in starting wagons on 2 of them though... one at a time for now.

Vote: Didds

But this is even more interesting to me! Math is saying “yes! That’s it! Iguana looked like he was scrambling so I’ll vote for WCD!” How the heck does that follow. Math isn’t scum, but that logic is severely lacking.


Didds says the logic is severely lacking, but mathdude clearly explained the logic of not wanting to start two different wagons when the theory says Didds and iguana are partners anyway.

I'm having to get going again soon here before I do all the massive amount of work I want to do on this day. But before I get going, I just want to point out something that struck me as a really scummy post.

Galzria, can you claim?

I am the Tin Man.

Do you want me to claim my PR?

Most likely, yes.

I am Dorothy’s protector by flavor provided.

I am a 2-shot Vig.

I don’t shoot as Vig, so I’m essentially a VT, which is why my Exile is better than No Exile as it generates information at the very least while losing a PR that won’t be used.

That said, if I *did* shoot i could’ve helped resolv the e situation (if I understand correctly) if he didn’t get exiled which is why I advocated going back to WCD here.

So here's a few things, some of them are speculative and not all of these speculations are the type that usually get much credence around here, but, they are compelling to me and so I need to share them.

1) Galz claims tin man. If I am modding this game, I am going to give at least 1 of tin man, scarecrow, or lion to scum as a fake claim. When Dorothy is already IC, you don't just give all three of tin man, scarecrow and lion to town. That would hurt scum, so you give them a strong fake claim of one of those. Therefore, since the lion has already flipped town, tin man is a suspicious claim. Hell, to the town!scarecrow, if there is one, this should be a hella suspicious claim.

2) Galz claims his flavor indicates he is 'the protector of dorothy,' but his role is not a protective role. Once again, hella suspicious. To me, it indicates that Galzria could be scum, and he was given a fake claim of "tin man, protector of Dorothy" with an actual protective ability for a fakeclaim.... THEN... he decided to claim 2-shot vig instead because 2-shot vig claim worked better for his scum plan. ALSO, we've already seen a protective town role flip in the jailkeeper flip. ALSO... I will go as far as to say that my role flavor text does make poetic sense. So I know that Joth writes flavor text that makes poetic sense for at least some roles. So for Galz's to be all funky like that "protector of Dorothy whose job is to shoot people"... hella suspicous.

3)Also... why the hell would the tin man be a 2-shot vig? Tin man don't got no gun!! Tin man off looking for his HEART. That's another thing that does not make poetic sense about Galz's claim.

4) Finally, as noted, Galz claiming 2-shot vig is just suspicious in general. Its a convenient claim. It gives him license to kill as scum without tracker or watcher seeing it. And tying it all in with his established no-shoot meta is convenient. Also, only one death last night.

Okay, that's all for now. Please consider it!!!

I don't really like basing a case so much on speculation about flavor writing. Like, it might not be wrong, but there's not much we can do with it since you aren't supposed to directly quote from your QT. I vaguely remember a later post where Galz describes it slightly differently and iguana calls it out, I think, which is rough because we aren't supposed to directly quote from any QTs, so I wouldn't really expect someone to use the exact same wording repeatedly when describing their flavor from post to post. If that didn't actually happen, I retract this point, but I think it did.

I would love reasons for everyone to be voting where they're voting, regardless if they've said it before. If you have, you can simply write a tl;dr and link the post that has the full explanation.

I'll start: I think no one has looked at EFHW, and I can't find scum, so it would make sense that I haven't looked at scum yet, which would make EFHW scum. Also they can easily flip today if town is truly scumreading them.

Ok, I read a lot of pubby's posts in games that he's played. Good news, I like pubby a lot better now! I guess because I read some of his posts where he wasn't just nonstop tunneling me. I've never seen pubby play like he's playing in this current game. Also, he's never been scum before (that I could find) outside of one beer themed bastard game. Notably, in the dwarf bastard game that just finished, he had really good reads (he kept saying that Galz/Didds/Awa was the team.. Galz/Didds was correct) but he also second guessed himself a lot and ended up voting outside of his correct guess fequently. I've also seen Pubby in several games get heated/emotional about things... which is not something I'm seeing here at all. In this game, he's been quite level headed and cool with his pronouncements.

Yeah, I really like

Vote: Pubby

Is it possible a game with a 2/3 team call made him more confident in his reads and less likely to stray outside of it with his votes?

This post is scummy.

"The e wagon was bad" is a combination of "Well that sucked" and "I was on a different wagon than a town flip, so shame on all of you". They're both the style of thing more commonly expressed by scum than town.

The first part suggesting my shot be directed tonight is also scummy. But mostly because faust lays it out there to see if it'll start a conversation, but shows no signs of following up with the idea when nobody jumps on it.

Oh, yeah, I agree. The directing the shot was what stuck out to me.

Okay, that's all for now. Please consider it!!!

This is an incredibly bad and scummy argument, and it is beyond ridiculous that faust hasn't called iguana out over this.

Iguana is arguing that my claim is scummy based almost entirely on "guess the mod".

1) It in no way would hurt scum if all three were town (if all three are even in the game), because any individual player does not know the alignment of any other player (save MiX). And this line of thinking is exceptionally scummy if all three ARE in the game and ARE town, because if I end up being exiled here, which is entirely possible today, you've pre-lined up the Scarecrow to be unable to claim safely down the line if they are also town (which if you were scum, you would know).

2) I don't know what to tell you. I'm Dorothy's friend, companion and protector. Like you said, there's already been 1.5 flipped protective roles, and who knows if more exist? What I do know is that my role is Vig, and that no player counter claimed me and I didn't die last night (which if I was lying and there was a town Vig in the game, they should've shot me last night).

3) I do not have guns, no. I have a wood-axe. It's for more than cutting lumber.

4) The claim in no way gives me "license to kill" without being tracked or watched. If I'm lying scum, there's no way I'm a Vig. If I'm tracked to a player and that player doesn't die, THAT's "hella suspicious". And if I'm tracked to a player and they DO die... but there's only one death that night (or again on future nights), that's ALSO "hella suspicious". And a Watcher would be exactly the same. If I'm seen targeting somebody but that player doesn't die... well, you get the idea.

4a) There was only one kill last night. This is correct. I did not shoot. The last post on the topic of shooting that I made yesterday before the exile was this:

Well that history makes that claim stupidly convenient.

All in favor of just exiling Galzria?

Galzria, if you live today, you have to shoot. And you should probably not shoot e. If you're already saying you're not going to do that, then we should just exile you as you won't be able to confirm your role.

It’s only convenient now that I had to claim it publicly 🙄

And yes, I will shoot now that it’s public - but there are many factors that can prevent my shot given my role is public knowledge to scum.

Honestly, best option is probably to Exile me.

If was going to draw a scum RB, then if I shot or not didn't matter. But there are far worse potential PR's scum could have. Bus Driver or Redirector both could've been disastrous. Given that my claim is 100% accurately known to scum, the last thing I wanted to give them was the power to manipulate another shot.

Shooting as a vig that is unknown to scum is already a generally bad idea. Shooting as a vig that scum knows about is foolish.

For the record, had I decided to shoot, this was the list of people I was looking at (in no particular order, because I didn't go back and do the full re-reads on each that I would've done if i was shooting. These were just the people I thought came off looking scummiest following the end of day yesterday):

math, iguana, Glooble, Efoo, pubby

Hadn't really thought the iguana flavor case was scummy, but this does make sense how that would come from scum instead of town.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Dylan32 on September 02, 2021, 12:26:20 am
I'll retract most of my argument about Galz's claim being scummy. I think I overdid it.

1) I looked up about whether the tin man has any weapon and found he carries an axe. I did that in between posting my original argument and when Galz posted his thing.

2) His thing about how scarecrow/tin man/lion could all be town is true. I mean, as the mod, I'd still be very tempted to give one of those to scum for sake of balance but it's not a good reason to vote for any of them. I assent to that.

3) I'm starting to understand how claiming 2-shot vig is a tricky thing to do D1 as scum when you don't know what kind of investigative roles are around. So maybe 2-shot vig is not on its face the scummiest claim. That being said, I can't give Galz town points for the claim either. He has a long and storied history of making super bold fakeclaims as scum and then justifying them throughout the game until scum wins. It's basically his favorite thing to do.

I won't retract this part:

It is scummy to claim to be the tin man, protector of Dorothy, but then not claim a protective role. It is something that could happen if you are scum, and are given a protective role as a fakeclaim, then choose to claim a different sort of role instead on your own initiative without editing the flavor.

Extreme example: If Galz claimed "I am Groot, guardian of Dorothy" we should exile Galz. He just claimed to be Groot... who isn't in the wizard of oz. He probably altered the flavor of his role because he didn't like his fakeclaim. The purpose of this example is just to show that someone can make a bad flavor claim and that flavor can be the basis for choosing to exile someone.

Less extreme example: If Galz claimed... "I am Toto, the observer of Dorothy. My power is that I am a bodyguard." We...should exile Galz! His flavor would indicate he should have an investigative type of role... but his powers is not investigative. The powers do not match the flavor, a cue that Galz made an alteration to his mod-provided stuff. Town does not alter their claim... scum does.


So, my argument is just that. Galz's claim of powers does not match his claim of flavor, and it is scummy.

Finally, this is a bit scummy to me too:

-snip-
2) I don't know what to tell you. I'm Dorothy's friend, companion and protector.

Before, he was 'protector of Dorothy.' Now, he's 'friend, companion and protector." To me, Galz is trying to brush off here the one part of my argument that actually held water because he knows he can refute everything else I said. And he's also trying to muddy the fact that earlier in the game he claimed to be "protector of Dorothy."

To argue by way of example, the Secret Service snipers on top of the white house are the President's protectors and their job is absolutely to shoot threats to the President, just to give one real-world case, so an offensive/neutralize the threat "protector" is not at all absurd or a contradiction like you seem to think it is.

This is also where I think the not directly quoting the QT comes into play. Idk if that is what Galz was doing, and you might not actually be wrong, but I just think you are reading a lot into flavor that just isn't sound.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Dylan32 on September 02, 2021, 12:27:48 am
Also also,

if Galz is some sort of passive role like Godfather or 1-shot BP scum, he totally can claim 2-shot vig and then just never shoot because he can pass the factional kill off to his scumbuddies and twiddle his thumbs at night. So it's not like 2-shot vig is exonerating in the least.

Anyone can claim anything then, how is this important?

I claim a 3-shot Strongman Vigilante that roleblocks the target and also protects them from Trackers, Watchers and any actions taken by ninjas. But I won't use it.

VCA done. My work is a little on fire so I will have to type it out later. But I end at

Good gravy… going back to work on campus after 16ish months away is sooooo hard. The commute alone is killing me.

Apologies for not being more present. Glooble is right, with deadline just two days away we can’t afford to stall.

I’m done being made at pubby for calling me a liar

Vote: Dylan

Mostly for his placement on the e wagon, but also because I trust faust.

People keep saying my placement on the wagon was scummy, but no matter which of the two wagons I joined would have been X-1 (iirc). So if Galz is scum, then sure, I can agree from a neutral position it would look scummy, but like I've said before, A) I had a slightly bigger scumread on e and B) losing a hider is nowhere near as bad as losing a town vig if we were wrong (neither would be too bad compared to forcing a 3rd party, so see A again).

I was about to write a scum-to-chum list, but I feel like my brain is just sorting high-info to low-info flips, which is nice if there's overlap on the high-info/scum categories, but maybe this is just because I'm up way too late to be thinking.

I think my scum categoty would include Glooble, pubby, faust.
Town is IC, iguana (just realized I didn't address GPD, which--while wrong--at least seemed like there was some real scumhunting in there), maybe Galz based moreso on some stuff today.
I still have no idea how to read EFHW. Like, we've been in quite a few games together, and yet in my mind you always just kind of seem the same and I haven't picked out any differences in how you play either side. Of course some of that might be that most of the games I've played recently I've not been town, so I haven't actually had to try to read you very often, so this is different. Mentally swowl and mathdude just are off my radar right now. I know they've done things, but I'm just drawing a blank trying to think of specifics here. If there was a point to be made about wagon positioning D1 on e, I guess maybe mathdude could have been scum on there. I don't think I would want to exile Didds today, because as has been said, they're on the easier side to read later in the game; but not just for the negative side, like, they're pretty good at scumhunting late game too if memory serves. In one of the last non-bsg games where I was scum and it was Didds, EFHW, scum!joth, and scum!me and I forget the last townie, I was really afraid of Didds going into the last day because you seemed to have my number the last couple game days and I really worried about you being able to convince EFHW and whoever the other person was (sorry if you are here and I can't remember you!!) that it was actually me.

Vote: Glooble

Good gravy… going back to work on campus after 16ish months away is sooooo hard. The commute alone is killing me.

Apologies for not being more present. Glooble is right, with deadline just two days away we can’t afford to stall.

I’m done being made at pubby for calling me a liar

Vote: Dylan

Mostly for his placement on the e wagon, but also because I trust faust.

People keep saying my placement on the wagon was scummy, but no matter which of the two wagons I joined would have been X-1 (iirc). So if Galz is scum, then sure, I can agree from a neutral position it would look scummy, but like I've said before, A) I had a slightly bigger scumread on e and B) losing a hider is nowhere near as bad as losing a town vig if we were wrong (neither would be too bad compared to forcing a 3rd party, so see A again).

So I was doing a Math vs Dylan re read and I was actually giving the bolded part above a LOT of credit. Makes sense. If dylan, or anyone is skum after there are both claims... then why go for E! over Galz? I will answer. Either Galz is skum with the person in question that goes for E! or the person going for E! over galz legit believes in what they are saying. Which is cool and fair. And there is nothing wrong with it at all. But you know, dylan said IIRC so I went ahead and read the damn thread...

Here is the thing.... Here is vote count 1.5, which is Post #417

Vote Count 1.5

2.71828.... (6): Swowl, Awaclus, Glooble, mathdude, Galzria, Dylan32 (L-1)
Galzria (5): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds, MiX, EFHW (L-2)
Swowl (1): iguanaiguana
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Not voting (0)

Cool. The whole "I chose E! over Galz because of claim" shit, makes no sense. Because... Galz claims here - in post #457


Galzria, can you claim?

I am the Tin Man.

Do you want me to claim my PR?

Most likely, yes.

I am Dorothy’s protector by flavor provided.

I am a 2-shot Vig.

I don’t shoot as Vig, so I’m essentially a VT, which is why my Exile is better than No Exile as it generates information at the very least while losing a PR that won’t be used.

That said, if I *did* shoot i could’ve helped resolv the e situation (if I understand correctly) if he didn’t get exiled which is why I advocated going back to WCD here.

That may seem small. But when you are town, you don't have to make up reasons you think people are town vs skum. You remember that. Especially something as big as a claim. Dylan absolutely DID NOT know that Galz was a vig prior to the vote being placed on E!. The vote on E! was there first. That is a made up reason and that is skummy af.

Vote: Dylan

That is L2 not L1, MiX count most recent is wrong.

PPE: 2

I was about to write a scum-to-chum list, but I feel like my brain is just sorting high-info to low-info flips, which is nice if there's overlap on the high-info/scum categories, but maybe this is just because I'm up way too late to be thinking.

I think my scum categoty would include Glooble, pubby, faust.
Town is IC, iguana (just realized I didn't address GPD, which--while wrong--at least seemed like there was some real scumhunting in there), maybe Galz based moreso on some stuff today.
I still have no idea how to read EFHW. Like, we've been in quite a few games together, and yet in my mind you always just kind of seem the same and I haven't picked out any differences in how you play either side. Of course some of that might be that most of the games I've played recently I've not been town, so I haven't actually had to try to read you very often, so this is different. Mentally swowl and mathdude just are off my radar right now. I know they've done things, but I'm just drawing a blank trying to think of specifics here. If there was a point to be made about wagon positioning D1 on e, I guess maybe mathdude could have been scum on there. I don't think I would want to exile Didds today, because as has been said, they're on the easier side to read later in the game; but not just for the negative side, like, they're pretty good at scumhunting late game too if memory serves. In one of the last non-bsg games where I was scum and it was Didds, EFHW, scum!joth, and scum!me and I forget the last townie, I was really afraid of Didds going into the last day because you seemed to have my number the last couple game days and I really worried about you being able to convince EFHW and whoever the other person was (sorry if you are here and I can't remember you!!) that it was actually me.

Vote: Glooble

Dylan did not actually say that he voted e because "losing a hider is nowhere near as bad as losing a town vig if we were wrong". He voted e because he "had a slightly bigger scumread on e". He didn't move his vote because of the claims.

I'm also suspicious that you didn't investigate that e himself hadn't claimed when Dylan voted. Did you actually reread the game?

"First the Lollipop Guild leader, then my Doorman! The Witches are getting too bold!" bellows Oz.

"Agreed!" squeaks the Mayor. "We may have gotten it wrong with the Lion, but that's OK, his bubble will probably float back here eventually. In the meantime we've got to find the real witches! I suggest we choose someone to exile by the end of the day!"

faust is VLA and can't defend himself, and has done nothing particularly scummy that I've seen much like you claim for Dylan. I wrote in my QT (paraphrase) that if faust is still around on D4, just policy exile because I've lost a lot of games by trusting him too long. So -- I promise -- I won't just continue to blindly trust faust but I will give him a D2 pass.

Didds-wait, do you really think Didds is scum? Weren't you defending her just recently? I can't even keep up, man. Show me what's suspicious and I'll respond.

EFHW - I honestly just found the way she processed pubby's GID case and my response to it very townie. Before that, I didn't have a townread on her. That PoE actually really helped me get to wanting to vote Galz/Dylan/pubby today.

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: WestCoastDidds on September 02, 2021, 01:31:33 pm
Working on my rereads...

Swowl first.

D1, his posts mostly concern how he and I play togther, reading and rereading Glooble, voting and advocating for e, calling people who vote for him scummy because they can't point to what is scummy about him, and talking with Galz about whether or not to shoot. D2 he is less available, votes around a bit and ends up on Dylan because of the order of Dylan's claims about his vote.

This is, to me, his most scummy post:
Let's all vote Swowl

I do not believe I have ever been looked at so much without literally a single reason ever being stated as to why I am skummy.
No defense on this one. Pure offense.
You are skummy for it, faust is skummy for it, and whoever the other person was (Dylan i think) is skummy for it.

My assessment: probably scum, although the Dylan argument is not entirely bad.

Dylan next
He only has 6 posts in D1 until the run up at the end of the day. Says hi and MiX is the best IC (agree), engages about Glooble a bit with faust and then votes for Glooble, then votes for 2 (L-1) because he seems scummier than Glaz, and his last post is that we can't verify if e is the hider by letting him live. Would rather lose the hider than the vig.

This post seems to be pushing an exile even if its town.
I find it ironic that we've run up two wagons and gotten two claims of roles that either wouldn't hurt town too much to lose or would be convenient fake claims for scum, and it still seems like we are moving away from exiling either of them. Like I get it if we unfortunately hit a doc or a cop or something, but if we weren't going to exile either of e or galz after claiming these roles, were we ever going to exile anyone?

There is one towny moment when at the EoD, Galz asks if he would go back to Glooble and Dylan asks "how many more claims do we want to have today" which is a fair point. But then he says, ironically, he would go back to voting for Glooble. +.5. He ends the day advocating for e, but willing to switch to Galzy.

D2, gone for the start of the day. Opens with iguna reads as town, and pubby is mistaken but not scummy in his GID argument. Defneds himself against what he calls a Glooble tunnel. This is where he makes the arguments related to timing of the claims and his logic that Swowl points out. Acknowldges he hasn't been present, but that when he is scum he works harder at faux scum hunting. Then his reread, which probably is more for him than for us. Makes an argument about why a vig is protective.

Has Glooble, pubby, and faust on his scum list. But I see no reason for faust and pubby at all.

My assessment: Not very scummy. Maybe town. Nothing is really scummy, but its not helpful. He doesn't move the game forward at all, which is a bit out of character although he usually does that more/better later on.

EFHW next...

In the meantime Vote: Swowl

But honestly now that I’ve slept and I’m thinking about it, with pubby, I didn’t really think the GID theory was scummy, but then by the end of my reread I had a scumread on them, and I don’t really know why. I’ll iso to see if that actually holds up.

EFHW

She tends to ask a lot of questions, and that is true of D1, although the questions are not terribly incisive. Posts a naked vote for e and then later chides faust for naked votes. Votes for me for a bit and then rereads Glooble. Says there are "some things that she noticed" as a reason for not wanting to exile Glooble, and votes for Galz. And then...huh, that was her last post in D1. I hadn't realized that she hadn't participated in any part of the e discussion.

D2, challenges pubby theory, challenges my read on mathdude. Her scummiest folks are pubby, mathdude, and  she's going to reread Glooble. There are then 7 posts concerning Glooble's reasosn (or not) for his early pubby vote.

My assessment: probably scum There is almost no scumhunting going on in D1, and today she has been active engaged about what she sees as a contradiction in Glooble's explanation. No one other than MiX took up that subject, so the length of the discussion is notable. This could be an attempt to manufacture content without getting into hot water and that had the potential to reveal something incriminating. If she is scum and Glooble is town, that is a good play for her. She is not going after him hard so it stays below the radar, which is something that EFHW would have in her wheelhouse of awesome.

I didn't ISO faust, so this is just impressions, but he mostly seems towny right now but also pretty VLA. I think I agree with Galz that a faust exile right now is a shot in the dark but a faust around later is a dangerous faust indeed

Quick question:

Is it known that there is exactly a 3 member scum team?

I've read a lot of 3-person teams being called today by a select few .... and it's seemed scummy to me. If I'm scum and have two teammates, then I know that "town!me" would be hunting for "3 scum"... but as far as I'm aware that isn't actually stated to be true. Most likely? Maybe. But I don't think that I would have ever jumped straight to that presumption.

MiX

iguana
mathdude

Glooble
Galzy
Dylan
pubby

EFHW
Swowl

One thing I am thinking about, though, is who would kill Awaclus. My guess is that this was a faust suggestion, but could have also been EFHW, iguana, or Galz. I am not sure Swowl advocates for an Awaclus NK. That is all just musings from my head, though, but it does complicate my list.

I don't know Mathdude's meta at all. But I have a vague feeling from skimming some recent games that he's a common D1 mislynch. Am I right or wrong?

This post is interesting. The additional word at the end of the first line sounds like a call out to a partner ("Hey, you've posted, but nothing of content - make sure you engage more."),.. and yet despite the vote that iguana is placing on Mathdude here, he's simultaneously trying to deflect people from taking the wagon seriously with the second sentence.

That is right.

So why would you vote for him?

Hard to choose a vote. I feel that scum is trying to avoid anyone getting more than 1 or 2 votes... taking advantage of the fact that townies are not on the same page about things. I feel that scum don't want wagons D1 that town can look at later and solve the game using. Therefore I want to vote for someone that someone else who is trying hard feels is a good vote as well... especially because no one is interested to join me on voting Awaclus.

In short, I have several weakish town reads, or at least pro town reads. Faust is one of those, mathdude is not one of those... and I'm sheeping faust.

Here's another question. I assume faust knows that Mathdude is a common D1 mislynch. So why would he go there? Isn't faust still considered to be a quite good player?

MiX actually calls Iguana on it too - I'm not a fan of Iguana's deflection.

@e, what made you think of massclaim, anyway? They are usually disasters for town Day 1.
What do you think this question will accomplish?
Mostly keep him talking. If he has some scummy scheme in mind, then let him dig himself deeper. What did you think I was intending?
I don't know, that's why I was asking.
And what do you think now?
I think that maybe it wasn't an attempt at rolefishing, but I'm not completely convinced.
I was trusting town!e to know what not to say, while challenging a possible scum!e to commit himself further. There was a spate of games some years back where it seemed that people were role-slipping left and right. I think we had a bunch of inexperienced players then, and e does not fit that description.

This series of posts, given e's town flip, stands out to me - but I can't decide if I agree with faust that it could've been an attempt by scum!EFHW at role-fishing, or if I think that it shows EFHW genuinely didn't know e's alignment (ie. EFHW is town).

pubby is really my top choice. That whole case by him was so off. It was scummy on its face, and the defenses of it were not great. Most people have interacted with pubby since his big posts, and he's also implicated a lot of people now. So yes I think it would be a high information flip.

Hypothetically, if we mass claim, then scum knows who is the doctor to roleblock and who is the tracker to shoot D1 and who is the vigilante to redirect onto the IC and we're screwed. We never get to catch scum out on their lying D1 claims because they know all of our powers and how to thwart them while we still know nothing real about them.

Mass claim is bad.

A lot of assumptions (knowledge?) about what powers scum has here; probably means nothing, but I wanted to note it for later just in case. Besides that, I agree.

I don't think these are very "bold" assumptions. Maybe replace Tracker with "Tracker/Cop" and then the Vig doesn't like "need to exist. But yeah, we have a start day IC... so just game creation wise, there kind of has to be certain roles for balance in a standard RMM.

I actually like Dylan calling out Iguana on this one ... and find Swowl's deflection scummy.

Because the first didn't stand out to me until I got to the second. I hit quote on the second, went back and grabbed the first and inserted it into my post.

The order doesn't really matter though from Swowl's perspective. It's weird to think that both suggestion Mass Claim is scummy, and thinking that questioning that suggestion is scummy.

That’s true. Absent his meta though, I’m just not sure the game solve is a scum move. Exiling him for lurking isn’t a bad argument, either. But I think both EFHW and Swowl actually have some scummier moves.

I also think pubby is town right now. I don't think scum lets themselves be the lone person off a wagon end of day 1, especially when neither of those wagons matters to scum so there's no reason NOT to be on board. There's just no reason to draw unsolicited attention by being the lone wolf, whereas town is generally less concerned.

Awaclus was town. I have reasons to not want to exile WCD/faust today that will hopefully resolve themselves over the next few game days. If they are both town, then EFHW is the last person on my wagon. As I don't think pubby is scum, and I doubt all scum were on e (although entirely possible), that leaves EFHW by process of elimination.

For me, pubby is not a policy exile. It's a good chance to hit scum exile. I am just giving reasons for people on the fence to join in. I already made the case against him. Also, we can't do a mass claim right now because there's no gaurantee that everyone would show up, get on board, and be able to claim before deadline. In fact, I'd call it very unlikely.

Pubby iso.

vote: iguanaiguana

RVS? Or in response to Iguana's one post?

Iguana!!!

Man, I know that I’ve missed a few games now, but what’s the last one you were in??

Looking at my own post history... I last played a game in September of 2018.

My goal this run around is to be a bit less of a jerk.

Vote: Lalight.

Having an IC leads to really good PoE that he is scum.

*flavor joke after vote count*

Ok, time for an embarassing post.

Lalight is not playing :(

I just realized this... right now. I think when I cast my first vote, I had just scanned the players and saw LL's name. Then for some reason Joth decided to make my vote for his comod count in the vote totals... which validated my feelings of LL playing this game. Today I looked to try to figure out why he hadn't posted yet... and ... yeah... Lol, I failed.
In other words you felt obligated to vote for someone in your opening post and didn't care who. Scummy much?

So I don't know if pubby's initial vote was because he caught that LL wasn't in the game and already thought it, or if the vote was RVS and he was able to use this to justify it.

I've been somewhat suspicious of glooble. Their first few posts were terse and seemed like they were just going through the motions. Then they jump into an argument with faust, acting defensively when the actual topic of discussion didn't require it.

But for now I'm fine with parking my vote on iguana. Swowl I read as town.

FoS on Glooble for going through the motions, but reading Glooble doesn't actually give me that impression. One thing I did see was that Glooble's 3rd or so post was a vote on pubby for the sake of building some wagons, so the Glooble FoS is actually kind of OMGUS.

This shouldn’t be a choice between Glooble and me.
Yeah it's awful. I would vote for both of you if I could  8)

Glooble is a really bad vote. I'm at work so kinda busy today. Yes I knew Didds, I maybe didn't play with her quite as much as the others
What makes him a really bad vote? This is d1. Our decisions can't be *that* informed.

At what point do I claim, given that once my role is revealed we will need time to find an alternate wagon?
You just hinted you have an important role, no? That's almost as bad as a full claim.

And here in posts #318 GID is already complete. Literally those are the 3 people he interacts with here. This is also pubby's last post before the deadline.

Then he leads off with the first post of D2:

Scum team is Glooble, Iguana, Didds. Didds is the most obvious one.

There was some panic in the scum team early on with wagons around Glooble and Didds. They rallied to save each other, then hopped on the first alternative wagons. This is why all three voted late.

Vote: Didds

I doubt I'll be active much tomorrow BTW.

The next post defends the case, and the final post considers replacing iguana with faust in the theory due to some partnery looking comments. That is pubby's whole game.

I think no one has looked at EFHW, and I can't find scum, so it would make sense that I haven't looked at scum yet, which would make EFHW scum. Also they can easily flip today if town is truly scumreading them.

There's just not a lot there, but that little amount of content, he sure started a lot of conversations between other people. So I don't think that would be the worst exile, and I am still leaning scum there, but there's just not a lot of content there to judge, and while I still think pubby could be scum, I could also see the low-activity town narrative there too.

Didds' reading of me is inaccurate. It feels hastily done. I did not have a naked vote on e. The post just previous to the vote explained my thinking. There were not 7 posts on Glooble. Surely you don't object to my making the case in the first place. There were 5 posts after that. One processing the misreading of reasons. Another defending my second point. The third is me ending the case.  Then I had to respond to MiX accusing me of shading Glooble. And finally, I answered MiX's question. Which posts do you find excessive? Also, the "things I noticed" were reasons I would vote Glooble, not the reason I didn't. They became the case I presented today.

I have acknowledged and apologized for my absence EOD1. I got wrapped up in a project and lost track of time. I recognize that town had less flexibility without me there.

Part of my scumhunting D1 was scumreading you for not scumhunting. So how do we make sense of that?

This doesn't follow logically. I'm the only one left from your wagon because you are undecided about Didds and faust. So how does that lead to POE that I must be scum? If we discovered they were both town, then your argument would apply, though it stills rests on the assumption that all the scum wouldn't be on e.

Post by: Galzria on September 02, 2021, 05:13:51 pm
Putting it out there as to why I'm suspicious of Glooble:



So D1, at it's peak, Glooble's wagon had 3 votes:

Glooble (3): WestCoastDidds, Dylan32, MiX

Shortly before that, MiX asked everybody to chime in on their feelings regarding Glooble. Going to grab those responses as I see them.

I've been somewhat suspicious of glooble. Their first few posts were terse and seemed like they were just going through the motions. Then they jump into an argument with faust, acting defensively when the actual topic of discussion didn't require it.

But for now I'm fine with parking my vote on iguana. Swowl I read as town.

Pubby - suspicious of Glooble


Swowl doesn't find Glooble scummy.

And that's generally it.

So we have, voting Glooble or finding him scummy: MiX, WCD, Dylan, pubby
And we have not finding him scummy: Swowl

Moving on, this next post is an extremely scummy response.

Vote: Glooble

This is a bad way to go today.

What exactly have I been doing today that isn't consistent with my normal day 1 playstyle?

I know it's taboo to talk about what PR related reasons Glooble might've been referring to in the below post, and I know that now he's tried to explain this way multiple times now... but let's be honest - this is early D1 without anything claimed. Hinting at any sort of PR reasoning (especially one that has now been said to be extremely weak and silly) seems... off.
I'm never useful day 1. I usually can't develop scumreads this early. I voted for pubby in the hopes of starting a pubby wagon not because I necessarily thought he was scum, but because I thought he might be scum and it might provide useful interactions. I also had a reason for thinking he was a teensy bit more likely to be scum than others who already had votes on them, and I wam not interested in sharing that reason atm.

After that I highlighted two posts that felt a little off to me in the hopes of spurring discussion. I honestly expected more people to agree with me about faust, but apparently this is an area where I differ from most of the players on this forum so that ended up leading no where. Other than that all I've done is try to defend myself.

This next post by Iguana could be taken to indicate he's in the town-reading bucket on Glooble.

Glooble then quickly joins iguana on WCD:
I'll get on the Didds wagon. It's a better case than any of the other ones I've seen.

vote: WestCoastDidds

This vote by Math actually puts Glooble at 4, I believe, but it's slipped in between VC's so the (4) was never recorded:
Regarding the Glooble, WCD, and Swowl votes, even though they are regulars, I don't really have reads on them (or EFHW) D1... they don't stand out to me much, one way or another. For those 4, I'm not seeing things that I interpret as scummy.

For the moment, I'll have to trust our IC and not vote Didds (don't get used to it, MiX!)

I'm getting a gut feel that faust is scum, and there's connections between him and both Awaclus and Glooble, so keep an eye, possibly on 2 or all 3 of those.

I'd rather vote faust or go back to e. But to keep another wagon going, for now, I'll
vote: Glooble

faust won't vote Glooble:
I will accept no exile before I vote for either Didds or Glooble.

EFHW "found some things", but doesn't want to exile Glooble:
I reread Glooble. There were some things that I noticed, but I don't want to exile him today.

vote: Galzria.

This post by MiX is an important point - as I know I'm town, e was town, and I would rather exile Glooble between WCD/Glooble right now.

As it stands... I think we probably maybe have a T v T situation with the two exiles with scum voting on both wagons. I don't know but that's my gut feeling right now -.-

That was my sense and why I moved off Glooble

Not the previous half wagons of WCD V Glooble... which also COULD have been T v T. I'm talking about the current wagons of e vs. Galzria.

Just pick the scum out of Didds/Glooble/e/Galzria. Unless you're saying they're all T? In which case, what a day this has been.

-----

This brings us up to the end of the day stuff, and covers most people's opinions. Obviously there has been a lot of talk around Glooble. A lot of scum reads, a lot of won't vote Glooble reads.

The next two posts (along with Dylan jumping in on the conversation) was what really jumped out to me at the end of day yesterday:

I think a lot of time N1 actions are pretty much blind, and the best way for people to direct their actions is based on a flip.  I have historically been a huge advocate of D1 exiles, going so far as to hammer myself as town to ensure an exile went through on D1. (on a side note - town did win and I like to think my self-exile contributed to that)

That is not the situation here.  I think there is enough to go on between Galzria and myself, plus other wagons and opinions on Swowl, Didds, and others to give people enough to make informed N1 action choices.

That and the very high likelihood of a multiple-death night either N1 or sometime in the future
I find it ironic that we've run up two wagons and gotten two claims of roles that either wouldn't hurt town too much to lose or would be convenient fake claims for scum, and it still seems like we are moving away from exiling either of them. Like I get it if we unfortunately hit a doc or a cop or something, but if we weren't going to exile either of e or galz after claiming these roles, were we ever going to exile anyone?

Exactly!

Also, I stil want to see an exile happen. I'd rather it is e as it seems like a very low risk, potential fake claim. But I'd jump to Galz, Didds, or even Swowl to get one.

Obviously e was town, so whatever - but at the time I found it really strange that given all the talk and opinions on Glooble throughout the day, all of a sudden he wasn't on anybody's list when considering other wagons that weren't myself or e.

Looking back at it all and in more detail... It's not as strong a read as I thought it was. But it's where my head was at at the end of the day yesterday. /shrug

Height of WCD and Glooble wagons were:

WCD (4) - Galzria, iguanaiguana, Glooble, EFHW
Glooble (4): WestCoastDidds, Dylan32, MiX, Mathdude

fast forward.

Vote Count 1.4
2.71828.... (4): Swowl, Awaclus, MiX, Glooble
Galzria (3): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds
WestCoastDidds (3): Galzria, iguanaiguana, EFHW
Glooble (1): Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
faust (1): mathdude

then...

Vote Count 1.4.MiX
2.71828.... (5): Swowl, Awaclus, Glooble, mathdude, Galzria
Galzria (4): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds, MiX
WestCoastDidds (1): iguanaiguana
Glooble (1): Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Not voting (1): EFHW
--- 7 hours out ---

then...

Vote Count 1.5
2.71828.... (6): Swowl, Awaclus, Glooble, mathdude, Galzria, Dylan32 (L-1)
Galzria (5): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds, MiX, EFHW (L-2)
Swowl (1): iguanaiguana
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
--- 4 hours out ---

ok last-ish one, stick with me here...

Vote Count 1.MiX
Galzria (5): faust, 2.71828...., WestCoastDidds, EFHW, Awaclus
2.71828.... (4): Swowl, Glooble, mathdude, Dylan32
WestCoastDidds (2): MiX, Galzria
Swowl (1): iguanaiguana
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
7 to exile. 3 hours to deadline.

- Ok so right after this VC a few things happen...
1) E! votes no exile and then leaves for the night.
2) Awaclus has left for the night
3) faust is gone for the night
4) pubby is assumed gone for the night.

So I am gonna act on the assumption that Galzria is town on this one. Obviously, if I am wrong then this is all negated. But I am moderately confident in my read.
If galz is town and we did in fact have TVT wagons here, this created an interesting situation when MiX and Galz moved to WCD and then E! did not move to Galz (instead to nox).

Galz is not going to move to Galz. I know he said he would, but you know... He also claims here.
MiX stated they do not want to lynch E! He said Galz and/or E! but then brings up just exiling Galz after the claim.
WCD is pretty hard set on Galz.
Swowl has clearly stated they are not going for Galz over E!
faust checked out
pubby is gone
awaclus checked out
E checked out.

OK whatever... point is that in a world where it was TVT wagons, this combination of players that are gone and/or not going to move would make skum need to consolidate. And, as faust and Awaclus are both gone and both on Galz... the clear choice would be to go for Galz.

Iguana goes to galz
Glooble moves from E! to Galz - that is an eyebrow raise.

That brings us here...

Vote Count 1.?.MiX
Galzria (6): faust, WestCoastDidds, EFHW, Awaclus, Glooble, iguanaiguana
2.71828.... (3): Swowl, mathdude, Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Glooble (1): Galzria
No exile (2): 2.71828...., MiX

- WCD then does in fact unvote Galz. But just to come back to him later.
- Galz then jumps on E! (bring it to E@4/Galz@5)
- Glooble goes BACK to E!, flipping the 5-4 wagons.

Didds Count
Galzria (4): faust, EFHW, Awaclus, iguanaiguana
2.71828.... (5): Swowl, mathdude, Dylan32, Galz, Glooble
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
No exile/not voting  (3): 2.71828...., MiX, WCD

-II moves to E
- WCD back to Galz
- MiX hammers


TLDR; If galz is town then I think his wagon was saturated at some point. Since E! was town, I think his wagon was saturated at some point. Instead of looking at the campers, we can look at the last minute movers back and forth because they HAD to move based on players alive to get a lynch off if it was TVT based on statements and people that were around. That makes me suspicious of Glooble and II.

PPE 1

Actually.

Vote: EFHW

Awaclus was town. I have reasons to not want to exile WCD/faust today that will hopefully resolve themselves over the next few game days. If they are both town, then EFHW is the last person on my wagon. As I don't think pubby is scum, and I doubt all scum were on e (although entirely possible), that leaves EFHW by process of elimination.

interesting. what do you make of Glooble/II hopping back and forth then?

I don't think it's alignment indicative. Both wagons were town. Scum doesn't care which wagon goes off. It's a mixed bag of points - being around and present and helping the exile go through is generally townie. Exiling town is generally scummy. Exiling is both a pro-town and a pro-scum action.

Faust has been tunneling swowl since early D1 and has dodged giving reasons for the majority of the game. The only time he wasn’t tunneling Swowl really is when he switched to me late D1.

I would prefer others show up and help make EFHW happen.

Why aren't you voting for EFHW or Swowl?

1. It's frustrating that Dylan was the exile that the most people expressed support for throughout the day, but now he's being considered as "not a viable wagon." I don't think it's true.

2. I read the thread super-fricken carefully, and formed decently strong scum reads on Galzria, Dylan, and pubby each as indviduals first. Then, when I finally went through and considered them as a team, I found them behaving partnery among each other as well. I am absolutely NOT dead set that they are the team, but it is a matter where I will need to see an exonerating result or a  town flip from one of them to really have a good reason to reconsider.

3. On a personal note, before I left I lost quite a few games as town. Often, I was coaxed into voting for a weak scumread instead of a strong scum read, often by the other scum I hadn't found out yet. That feeling SUCKS. The feeling of "I didn't even want this exile, and now I'm reading a town flip." I'm not going to do that this game.

Like... NO WAY am I voting for EFHW. Swowl I give like 5% chance of being scum. I would absolutely hate hate DESPISE it if you guys put me in the position of having to hammer him.

Look at this!!! Look how carefully he shares that he might be willing to do a pubby exile. He KNOWS that MiX doesn't want to exile pubby. He's RELYING ON IT. But he also knows he can't be completely stubborn in his views, so here he shows that he'll go for pubby... if the IC wants it. EVEN THEN he feels compelled to weigh in and tip the scales toward swowl.

Why on earth would I vote Swowl when my #1 top scum read is currently trying to push the conversation toward that?? It would be stupid!

2.71828.... (3): Swowl, mathdude, Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
Glooble (1): Galzria

No exile (2): 2.71828...., MiX

Galz is sitting at L-1. faust, WCD, EFHW could all be scum. However, after e's claim a surge of votes comes in: Awaclus, Glooble, iguanaiguana. Awaclus was town! I was town! I believe that Glooble is town! So three town votes take Galzria from safe territory into striking distance of being exiled... and it does not go hammer! Instead, Dylan comes in and argues on Galz's behalf, and Galz argues on his own behalf... and we move back toward e. And we exile town! Why should I think this was T v T when the wagon was created by a huge surge in likely town votes?

Also pubby... who has been lurking and LITERALLY IGNORING GALZRIA AND DYLAN. faust even said to pubby "It seems like your theory of GID is predicated on Galzria being town, but I don't see any evidence for Galz being town." and pubby just STRAIGHT IGNORED THAT.

What? Galzria is voting EFHW, and said they would vote Swowl before pubby. He mentioned these 3 because those are the current wagons.

Right, Galzria is nudging the IC to think that today has to be about EFHW, Swowl, or pubby... and preferably EFHW or Swowl.

No, the vote count is. And the people that are active.

It's infuriating to try to explain to you why someone is scum when the case isn't based on the fact that I'm town... the case is based on the fact that Glooble is town! Look at Galz and pubby! They do TONS AND TONS of defending each other and TONS AND TONS of suspecting Glooble and Iguana! Of course they suspect us! We've been acting partnery and they think they can misexile us!

It has two masons, so I can’t call it a scummy wagon, but I really am not sure what the case is on galz outside of wagon analysis. I’ll vote: EFHW I guess since pubby isn’t happening, but I just haven’t seen anything outside of the assumption that galz not being hammered implies they are scum. Honestly, what if, and hear me out, scum knew hammering town!galz would look really bad there? Just saying there’s more explanations than just “wasn’t hammered. Is scum.”

ok masons explains the moving around at the end of the day between the two of them. I don't have time to look more into it rn, but just based on timing and wagons - believe the claim.

I am not a fan of how we have done this. Why did we wait until the last minute. Why did no one state their Galz case previously?

The wagon feels off. I would prefer EFHW.

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Galzria on September 02, 2021, 09:42:45 pm
Quick as I can from mobile:

1st - Was picking up Mason vibes from WCD/faust. It’s why my saying anything about it earlier was absolutely anti-town. Obviously picked up on all the same things MiX did. First started with Faust’s “I have knowledge that indicates WCD won’t get exiled if I and MiX are against it” post D1.

2nd - Don’t blindly accept the current Masons claim. It’s been made and ridden by scum to victory in the past, especially with the Vig out of the way to shoot them at night.

3rd - Obviously re-look at WCD & faust and draw your own conclusions.

4th - EFHW is scum. If there’s one take away from my exile, it should be that. Don’t throw away tomorrow with an exile anywhere else, PLEASE.

5th - If it’s going to be me at this point, at least the day doesn’t end up being a complete waste. It would’ve without a lot of this end of day had I gone earlier.

6th - Iguana is on crack lol

Faust is asleep, pubby is wherever pubbys live, math maybe votes? If they are all town, or 2/3 town

If EFHW is scum, and Galz is town then at probably two scum are voting for her….

If the reverse is true, and Galz is scum and EFHW town, no scum are voting for her

Ra-quel. Ra uses a hard R which I'm not sure english uses ever, the a's like the second a in mafia (can you tell I'm tired). quel is like saying L except with a k behind it, all in one syllable.

In the woods, a little further down the yellow brick road, a lion is cowering.

There's nothing unusual about this, he's generally afraid of everything. But in this particular case, he has something to be afraid of.

Because the Munchkins have discovered paw pads leading up to the crashed house, and they've decided to go Lion hunting.

"Are you sure this is him?" says Glinda.

"It's the only thing that makes sense!" the Mayor says.

"Aw shucks!" says the Lion. "Those are my tracks, but I weren't no witch! I just came to the village the other night to hide from some very tough-looking trees. I wasn't even here when the house fell!"

But the Munchkins are unconvinced. At their behest, Glinda casts a spell, trapping the Lion in a tiny pink bubble and casting him out of Oz for good.


2.71828.... has been exiled. He was the Cowardly Lion, a hider aligned with the good people of Oz.

"A bad witch? How dare you!" says Glinda. "Come here and say that to my face."

The Tin Man pulls out his axe and starts running down the yellow brick road toward the Emerald City. The Scarecrow tackles him to keep him from doing something he might regret, and accidentally pushes him into a small pond. As he climbs out, he begins to rapidly rust, calling out "Oil can, oil can..." through sealing lips.

"Oh dear," says the Coroner. "Witches melt in water, as we all know. So the Tin Man was probably not a witch. But we'll never get him unrusted now."

As the sun rises over the magical land of Oz, the Scarecrow, now Dorothy's only non-canine companion, goes to wake up the poor girl. But she won't wake up! She's fallen into a deep sleep in a field of magical poppies -- so deep in fact, that she's never going to awaken.

Mix has been nightkilled. He was, as you know, Dorothy Gale, an Innocent Child aligned with the good people of Oz.

With 9 alive it takes 5 to exile. Day 3 begins now and ends at 1:30 pm forum time on Saturday, September 11. The day is being extended one RL day in recognition of the labor day holiday in the United States.

We should mass claim. Glooble  can set the order, but I suggest
EFHW
Swowl
Faust
Dylan
pubby
Math
WCD
Glooble/iguana

At this point it should be obvious why I come last, but if not, I should come last.

I'm fully around for this full game day... finally.  Sorry about being mostly absent D2.  I've been working to catch up on reading the thread the last two days, and I'm still working on it.  I'm hoping to be caught up by tonight.

I do agree we should probably claim.  I'm not sure on a preferred order yet.  I will get there when I finish my reread.

I'm guessing setup is 10 town, 3 scum (not sure if there would be 3rd party in this game at all), which means 6/3 split now, and 5 of 6 need to agree on an exile by the end of the day, absent of potential bussing.  That definitely means not leaving the vote to the end of D3, in case 1 or 2 town can't get online at the right time!

Post by: iguanaiguana on September 05, 2021, 03:23:18 pm
I'll go ahead and throw out my preferred order:

EFHW, faust, swowl, dylan, mathdude, pubby, WCD, Glooble/Iguana

This is based on MiX's final stated reads, where he agrees with WCD that town are among WCD, pubby, MiX, Glooble, Iguana but says there's no reason to think mathdude is town (I just quoted this post above.) Nothing's really changed since then to make MiX's reads out of date, so we should use MiX's reads.

My preference would be for Glooble to alter the order of {faust, swowl, dylan, mathdude} however he wants & publish the final claim order for us to begin using immediately. We should be done with mass claim ASAP so that we're not rushing the exile. Short days don't give us enough time to argue a ton about claim order, so if anyone has serious reservations about it, they should speak up quickly.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia

Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: mathdude on September 05, 2021, 04:22:59 pm
I'm on about page 33 of catching up, and in my scan the other day, I think I saw something about masons... I'm guessing that's why Glooble and Iguana are last. But at this point in my reading, I'm not very comfortable with either of them. So maybe my reading will change my mind, but is there any verification of their claim? Do others agree they should be trusted?
I would like to see faust as early in the order as possible, and do currently agree with EFHW first. I'll post any other thoughts when I finish reading.

Post by: mathdude on September 05, 2021, 09:50:43 pm
Quick as I can from mobile:

1st - Was picking up Mason vibes from WCD/faust. It’s why my saying anything about it earlier was absolutely anti-town. Obviously picked up on all the same things MiX did. First started with Faust’s “I have knowledge that indicates WCD won’t get exiled if I and MiX are against it” post D1.

2nd - Don’t blindly accept the current Masons claim. It’s been made and ridden by scum to victory in the past, especially with the Vig out of the way to shoot them at night.

3rd - Obviously re-look at WCD & faust and draw your own conclusions.

4th - EFHW is scum. If there’s one take away from my exile, it should be that. Don’t throw away tomorrow with an exile anywhere else, PLEASE.

5th - If it’s going to be me at this point, at least the day doesn’t end up being a complete waste. It would’ve without a lot of this end of day had I gone earlier.

6th - Iguana is on crack lol

Just re-highlighting one of Galz's posts from near the EoD2...
the "2nd" point, about not blindly trusting masons, was something that I was thinking about when I was reading through D2 posts (when I got to the claim, before I got to this post by Galz).  I'm not saying it is bogus, just that we can't take it as absolute truth until/unless proven.

Also, some of Galz's other points should be considered too.

First thing of note:
Hypothetically, if we mass claim, then scum knows who is the doctor to roleblock and who is the tracker to shoot D1 and who is the vigilante to redirect onto the IC and we're screwed. We never get to catch scum out on their lying D1 claims because they know all of our powers and how to thwart them while we still know nothing real about them.

Mass claim is bad.
It seems that Masons would disproportionately benefit from a massclaim, yet both iguana and Glooble are arguing against it.

Mass claim is bad.

A lot of assumptions (knowledge?) about what powers scum has here; probably means nothing, but I wanted to note it for later just in case. Besides that, I agree.

I think this post from Dylan is a little bit scummy. It seems disingenuous to me. Iguana is clearly using hypothetical examples to make a point, and implying that he's somehow letting his secret setup knowledge slip is... weird.
This kind of fits with the Mason claim, but it's nothing solid.

I'm never useful day 1. I usually can't develop scumreads this early.
this is just scummy.

Also there is the thing where Glooble votes pubby after pubby voting iguana. Which is... eh. Glooble indicated that it was role-related, and it does make a bit of sense with the Mason claim.

Faust has 9 posts on the topic, amounting to 326 words and 1870 characters.
Can you tell me which posts these are supposed to be?
Still mad about this. iguana never answered, and it's a mischaracterization of my posts.

Vote Count 1.3.MiX.2

WestCoastDidds (4): Galzria, iguanaiguana, Glooble, EFHW
2.71828.... (3): Swowl, Awaclus, MiX
Glooble (1): Dylan32
iguanaiguana (1): pubby
EFHW (1): 2.71828....
faust (1): mathdude
Galzria (1): faust

Not voting (1): WestCoastDidds
This is interesting. If iguana/Glooble are scum then Didds likely is not. If Didds is town... well, scum can really be anywhere in that vote count, they have 2 town wagons and can relax.
Oh on the other hand Glooble leaves that wagon immediately afterwards. I guess the evidence is not as strong as I'd hoped.

The whole Galz/e showdown at the end of D1 is unfortunately not very telling as it's tvt. It is notable that MiX/Galz try starting an alternate wagon on Didds and that goes nowhere. That makes Didds somewhat more scummy.

that is my D1 commentary.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: faust on September 06, 2021, 04:29:13 am
It's curious that pubby was pushing hard for his GID theory, but I don't think that means he couldn't be partnered with them. If scum!GI were already set up to claim Masons then that would work out fine.

The early Dylan wagon on D2 is me, Glooble, Didds, igauna. This is again a point against the GID theory, like they would all three vote in concert like that.

Galzria has a lot of quite mysterious posts in early D2, like he has some sort of additional info, but I don't see where that would come from.

IF the team is GPD, I'm in trouble tonight. It would mean all my reads are correct, and everyone town reads me. That would make me a huge liability for the scum team. Also, IF the team is GPD, MiX's reads are kind of lousy this game. Just sayin'. Right now MiX is not exactly projecting belief in GPD. Those two things would put me at a real risk of dying tonight. THEREFORE, I need to share some things with y'all now on the chance that I won't be able to do it later because I'll be dead.
This reasoning does not make sense from a Mason. If iguana is telling the truth then he could just share this with Glooble at night and he wouldn't need to worry about dying without being able to tell people about it.

I agree that the claimed Masons shouldn't be treated as ICs at this point.

I don't think it's best for me to claim just yet. I will do some rereading now, feel free to ski me in the order.
You are high on that claim list for a reason. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't fully trust you this game. If you just wanted to reread and continue discussions on things before claiming, you could have asked Swowl to go ahead of you (rather than simply "skip", with no indication of when you should go). But right now it looks like you want time to check all the details of a fake claim to make sure all the details are accounted for.

I'm the interest of time, if Swowl gets online before faust next, I say go ahead and claim. And if faust is one before Swowl, you need to claim. If there are details of your role that make sense to wait to claim (such as targets), state that when claiming, but know that it will look scummy... but at least start the claim.

I hope you feel better soon, faust. Vacation is the worst for being actually exhausting.

I’d like to see both Dylan and Swowl claim when they get here. I don’t see the order mattering much between (EFHW,Swowl, faust, Dylan). Even if some folks want to talk over iguana or glooble, those 4 were on MiX’s list so starting with them makes sense.

Ya’ll, I’m only being a bossy boots because of the short day. We need to do the claims in a timely manner if we want to have time to talk about them.

Pubby, I have something to say to you, but it needs to wait until after i claim, but the to;dr of it will be that you need to start considering the game from the perspective that Glooble/iguana/WCD is not the scum team. If you take away that conclusion, then where are you at. There aren’t enough town for us to be divided so we really need you to get on board. Even if it’s just a thought experiment, can you please explore the scenario that you’re wrong?

It seems that Masons would disproportionately benefit from a massclaim, yet both iguana and Glooble are arguing against it.

From my perspective, I knew that my role has no active night action and that Glooble's role has no active night action. So mass claim would reveal a potentially small pool of active town PRs to scum... which they may be able to manipulate. Which is exactly what I said. So I guess you could say my role had some impact on my stance here. But of course every single player responded in a similar way regardless of their role.... so reading this as a point against me being a mason is a bit silly and honestly not very faust-like.

I didn't answer because it took forever to find the posts, make what was to me an honest assessment of whether 75% or more of the post was talking about the mass claim idea, put them all in a word counter, and come up with the tally. And also, I found you towny on D1, so I wasn't even tallying it all up in order to cast shade on you. I was tallying it up because IIRC Didds had that Glooble came off scummier than faust in the mass claim discussion... which was scummy because it took up too much space in the thread. So I was making an effort to point out that Glooble hadn't actually talked about it very much and that you had actually talked about it more. When it was all said and done, your posts on the topic were individually shorter than Glooble's, which was reflected in the fact that even though you had 8 posts to Glooble's 3 (some of which were talking with Awaclus)... you didn't actually say that many more words than Glooble did. But I had done all the work... I had a case and a weak scumread on WCD... and I wanted to publish it to get a conversation going... so I did!

Also, it was a way for me to defend Glooble at the time using reasons and numbers and stuff which felt important because I was having a really hard time articulating why I thought Glooble was town because I just KNEW he was town.

Well well.

I am Scarecrow, and I am a Tracker.

N1 I targeted EFHW, she targeted iguana N1 (as claimed).
N2 I targeted Swowl. The result was that he targeted MiX.

Vote: Swowl

Okay, interesting... So if you're lying... we hit a survivor who will totally screw us if we misexile today. Why would scum lie to implicate the survivor who would be just about able to help them win the game?

The scum!faust I know is too smart to tell that lie.

So we have our first obvious contradiction... either Swowl or faust is lying. Or there is some weird shenanigans going on (redirecting or whatever), which seems unlikely given the simpleness of roles so far.

Also, I knew you were Scarecrow... you had basically told us that at least twice already.

Right now I am thinking I want to vote Swowl today but obviously we have more claims to come... I want a little time to think about it too.

I guess we should consider whether it would be safest NOT to finish the mass claim and just exile Swowl... That is something we should definitely consider. That COULD make it harder for scum to mess with the rest of our unclaimed PRs.

Assuming EFHW is town (which is not necessarily the case), I think there's a little safety in continuing our claims. It would be nice to find out 2 or 3 contradictions today, rather than having to choose a side on just 1.

K. Brunch right now. To keep things moving.

1. I am Oz, the great and powerful. Flavor text leads me to believe “man behind the curtain”.
2. I am capable of taking 0 actions this game. So faust did not track me.
Options are either
a) he is lying
b) re directed…. Which then was put back onto mix… so unless someone else targeted mix also (town that is) that doesn’t make sense.

3. I currently want to win with town because it appears faust is skum and skum doesn’t want my help lol.

I have no problem claiming early. I'm the Coroner of Munchkinland, and I'm the deputy. If the cop is killed, I take up the mantle. Until then, I don't do anything.

The coroner and the deputy, but only the deputy has a role (the "coroner" part does nothing?)

Yeah, it's weird that coroner is a different role that I don't have, but the flavor is like since I was the first person to examine the body under the house and pronounce them really most sincerely dead, if something happens to the cop I would take up the task of investigating people.

Could be wrong, but since we know the vig was gone, about the only time it wouldn't be good to redirect a townie onto scum would be if they happened to already be investigating scum, right? Like Doc targets town, moved to scum = safe scum + potentially frame doc for lying about target + doc isn't protecting possible scum target. Investigative roles targeting town redirected to scum frames the intended target. So that actually seems like not a bad play.

My role description calls it a "unique" role. There are 3 potential parade options. On nights when I can throw a large, I choose 1 of them. It appears to be a reuse of the role pubby had in Dwarf Mafia, which I believe he never got to use.

I am Uncle Henry. Glooble is Auntie Em. It says that I am basically the parental guardian of Dorothy.  Our QT is basically called the farmhouse QT. This is all paraphrased for the rule requiring it.

Hi!

I’m Toto, a cop! I’m Dorothy’s faithful companion and apparently I am very naughty because each night I can get out of my basket and smell someone.

N1 I sniffed Math. He smells like town.
N2 I sniffed Swowl. He does not smell like town.

I said that I thought I was obvious (that I was the cop) because I do clearly communicated my result on mathdude, which EFHW pointed out immediately but then I reiterated with my list of 6 town going into last night in the event that I was NK’d you would have to look for crumbs.

I can post the previous munchkin mayor game to save everyone time

Quote
pubby - Mayor of Munchkin city

You are the nameless Mayor of the Munchkin City. You have the power to throw parades and bestow accolades on people who kill meddlesome witches or perform other public services. Each time town successfully exiles scum, you may select a player who was on that wagon and convey on them the following honors:

Honorary Captain of the City Guard - a 1-shot vig
Honorary Coroner of Munchkinland - once, they may select a dead player. They will be told how that player died.
Honorary Drum Master of the Munchkin Marching Band - once, they may submit a list of three players. One will be mond-confirmed to be town.

You are a GOOD DWARF

The mayor bestowing the coroner role conflicts with dylan's claim of being the coroner.

Dylan's claim is dubious because he said he's a detective, not an actual coroner role (https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Coroner). Joth used the coroner role in the last game, so why not now? Mathdude's claim is dubious because the setup is supposed to be simple, but also because he didn't call dylan out immediately for his claim.

I'm considering them both scum.

Joth obviously used the same role concept with my parade, but not the same 3 options. That was in RMM/BM. This is RMM/lite.

My options are to protect someone who was on the exile wagon for the night, make someone from the exile wagon Loved the next day, or learn all targets of night actions from one dead player.

The second one is the only one that would be made public (the next morning). But I would have only considered using that one if we had got scum D1 or maybe D2. At this point, the first or third options will be much more useful.

For setup/balance, with the "simple" roles we have, I'm going to assume 3 scum among 13.

If faust is town, Swowl is lying scum and we should vote him out (alternatively voting faust puts us at lylo, I believe).
If faust is lying scum, Swowl is 3rd party survivor and still basically puts us at lylo, regardless of which we vote out, if Swowl sides with scum.

For Town, as a whole, it seems best to get rid of Swowl, regardless of whether he is scum or survivor who could win with scum.

Given the simpleness of the roles, a watcher or tracker makes sense in this game, in my opinion. Thus, I believe Swowl's claim is more likely to be made up... survivor is an easy fake claim, plus his flavour name seems more made up. And as such, since I think he is the scum of the two, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to use my role tonight.

I'm not seeing the argument for exiling Dylan today. His flavor is coroner and he's a backup cop. What makes him more clearly scum than the survivor?

Why would scum Faust implicate the survivor (who could help him win) and not a townie?

If Faust and Swowl are both mafia, Faust made a gambit for town cred.

Mafia!Faust and survivor!Swowl makes the least sense to me. Faust could have claimed all kinds of things and he's just kneecapping himself by implicating a survivor who we may have exiled anyway.

town!Faust and survivor Swowl is unfortunate. It means we have a mafia redirector in play. But I question whether Faust was a top target for redirection last night.

To me, town!Faust and mafia!Swowl makes the most sense but it's not the only possibility.

Assuming Swowl flips scum, which seems quite likely... any opinions on my role usage?  As I said earlier, I don't see a point in making someone Loved (take an extra vote to exile) tomorrow.  Preference between protecting someone tonight [don't say who I should protect! - I'll make that choice], or knowing who Swowl targeted each night [theoretically, I could choose a different dead player to know their targets each night, but no need].

EFHW is a re director that targeted iguana night 1 and then moved faust target to whoever killed night 2.
Or the masons are skum.
Or maybe both.
. And again I don’t care necessarily, but I would prefer to hold on to my proc layer. 

If there are 3 skum they should hammer me right now and win tomorrow, if town is voting me they should prevent this and exile skum.

I enjoyd it as a kid a lot. The very same author wrote 6 books in continuation of original one and I have no idea if it was his original idea, or if the Wizard of Oz really had 6 other books. The last one was about aliens coming to Oz.

"Well, things look grim," says the Scarecrow, but we might still have a chance to save Oz.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I just found this dead horse under the house too," says the Coroner.

"Oh well in that case... OUR TAKEOVER IS COMPLETE," says the Scarecrow, pulling off his mask to reveal the vest, hat, wings, and tail of a flying monkey!

"Oh good we can dispense with these ridiculous outfits," says Glinda, pulling off her pink gown to reveal block robes and rubbing the pale paint off her face to reveal the green underneath.

"I was tired of being so short," says the coroner, or rather, the Wicked Witch of the East rising to her full height.

"With that horse gone, for some reason, we now control the town!" the Witch cackles. "Oz is ours!"

pubby was actually killed during the night but your mod screwed up. He was The Horse of a Different Color, a universal backup aligned with the good people of Oz.

WestCoastDidds and mathdude have been endgamed. They were Toto and the Mayor of the Munchkin City, respectively, both aligned with the good people of Oz.

faust, EFHW, and Dylan have won the game! They were the King of the Flying Monkeys, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the Wicked Witch of the East, aligned with the bad witches of Oz.

Swowl has also won. He was Oz, the Great and Powerful, a survivor.

My apologies, in my rush to get the day opened I missed pubby's night action, which of course properly ended the game. Even without that, town's only chance was magnimonious kingmaking from Swan, so he maybe did you a favor.

Here's the setup and night actions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UVWvQ1U2K9SSXQYhVU4Ue7zrvkpioy8fc34nwoIYpNc/edit
Here's the speccy: https://www.quicktopic.com/53/H/TTfhbaZZ4HHi

People made some good points about setup balance on this one, and some points I disagreed with. I agree deathproof survivor is bastardy and all I can say is I didn't think it through properly and LaLight didn't catch it in the review.

Chalk it all up to me being a tad rusty with running serious games. But I hope people had fun anyway.

I was mostly just biding my time until Dylan came along to claim scum and tell Swowl where to vote. I was close to claiming myself, but it would have been annoying if Swowl had some kind of trick up his sleeve.

GG scum, and especially faust.

Iguana, it was so good to see you again!  Swowl, I'm sorry.  Galz, quit picking on me!  Mixy, stay gold, Ponyboy.  mathdude, I believed in you. pubby, dude, seriously?

I'm super frustrated. I think maybe I need to take a break rather than just costing us the win over and over again. Sorry, ya'll.

@Galz, I found out that James Acaster has been hosting a comedy panel show "Hypothetical." Also there is absolutely no legit way to watch that in America.

There’s so many British comedy panel shows that are difficult to get here.

I can get Would I Lie to You, 8 out of 10 Cats, 8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown, Mock the Week & Taskmaster (although none are easy to get). I can’t get Nevermind the Buzzcocks, probably Hypothetical, Insert Name Here, and a few others.

Were you actually VLA for most of D2? I feel like that saved you so much, I couldn't in good faith push your exile when you weren't here.

This. If anyone crashed the game, it was me. I destroyed D1 and failed to be proactive D2. D3 was already set up to fail.

Town cannibalized town. It's a fact that you can see in the vote counts. And it was unfortunate, but I personally don't think anyone played terribly despite that. WCD did a great job making herself towny. So did Pubby in his own way. It just wasn't enough and we landed on the wrong targets.

Obviously, we should have exiled EFHW D2 and certainly D3.

Also, if I wasn't caught up in the claims... I should have known that faust was scum based on the way that he was suspecting me. town!faust is typically the one to go in and explain my meta to others and tell everyone that I am the easiest player to read in the world.

There were just too many players in this game that I am good at reading, it would not have worked to read them all accurately.

Not true. The Galz exile was unfortunate, but we were set up to win. I *KNOW* that survivor Swowl always wants to win with town. It's where his heart is. I should have stuck to my guns on EFHW. Iguana would have agreed at some point.

Then I would have had an accurate result on faust, and then it wouldn't have mattered as much that pubby was on GID island of his own .

Wow, that ended too fast. It definitely felt stacked against town. It didn't help that we got nowhere the first few days. But with 3.5 scum (a strongman, option between RB and redirect are both really strong, and the potential for Survivor to join near the end is where I'm adding .5), it felt that Town didn't have much power to counteract. It's unfortunate our UB ended up as a Hider! But my role never got used (and even if we did exile scum, I didn't see that I'd gain much use out of it). And the lover-aligned masons can cause as much harm with double-death as their trust in each other could help. Also, them and IC all not having active roles (and me not really either) left us guessing in the dark, rather than actually getting much info.

Still, with all that, well played, Scum

Post by: jotheonah on September 09, 2021, 03:38:20 pm
Town had an IC, a cop, a vig, and a jailkeeper. And masons. That's a lot. Bad luck that the backup got the worst role, the JK got NK'd early, and the cop got rolecopped early, and the vig wouldn't shoot. But town was not underpowered IMO.
Title: Re: RMM60: Wizard of Oz Mafia
Post by: Galzria on September 09, 2021, 03:59:24 pm
The Masons shouldn’t have been lovers. Especially with a Vig in play, that’s too easy to lose too many town too quickly.

Masons were an Inactive role. IC was an inactive role. UB is an inactive role. Mayor was an inactive role unless scum was exiled. That’s 5 of 9 town with inactive roles. There was Cop, Vig, JK & Hider.

Two non-town were bulletproof. The chances of Vig actually positively impacting town was 2/11 (not shouting himself or IC), despite 4/13 players being “not town”.

Scum wasn’t terribly overpowered. 1-Shot Strong was fine. Probably lose the Bulletproof. Rolecop is fine. Redirector/Roleblocker probably didn’t need the redirector aspect. If they find the cop or vig early that gives them too much potential power.

So in all…

Scum:
Drop Redirector, drop Bulletproof (maybe change to Godfather).

Town:
Probably make UB a Doctor, drop Lovers (or maybe keep with addition of Doctor). Possibly make Mayor into JoAT.

Survivor:
Either Exile Proof or BP, but not both.

Overall the balance wasn’t hugely skewed. I don’t really think town lost because of setup issues. Maybe a few tweaks needed, but overall it wasn’t badly designed.

gg everyone! It's amazing how quickly the game turned D3. At the end of D2 in the witch's castle (QT), pretty much none of us thought we had a shot at winning with the PoE and how strong some of the reads had come out against faust and EFHW that day, so to turn into a scum win in just 1 more day blows my mind.

After reading the speccy and Swowl's in game "Dylan is town because of the claim or the most baller scum," I have to give credit to faust for putting me onto the deputy claim. He had already figured out that Didds was a cop, so it was a much safer claim than it looked.

The Masons shouldn’t have been lovers. Especially with a Vig in play, that’s too easy to lose too many town too quickly.

I was 1-shot bulletproof, but the strongman wasn't 1-shot, at least as far as I know. Every kill was submitted as strongman anyway and I wasn't told I couldn't do it anymore.

The Mayor role has been used a second time here, and still hasn't been activated. I like to think that it will keep popping up in every joth game until it actually does something.

The role isn't great though, I think. It's a "win more" kind of power. If you exiled scum, things are already good for you, that's not really when you need additional effect to make you even more powerful. Overall I would say there were a couple of aspects like this in this setup, which weren't necessarily unbalanced, but very swingy - the Lovers, the Survivor, the mayor role. The scum Redirector was also in that vein.

Once the swowl exile became popular it didn't make sense to. I wanted scum to target me and then reveal my role the next day.

But if you absolutely knew Dylan was lying, why not claim and get a sure thing exiling him?

I didn't actually claim UB, and with a hider being the role a UB would have inherited and not much of a way to verify it at that point (for town anyway, faust knew what pubby was the day of the massclaim and told the rest of us that night lol), I actually think a pubby/swowl/EFHW team would have been a fairly reasonable thing I could have made a case for, so I don't think a UB claim would have been a guaranteed "Dylan is the obvious exile here" moment. Maybe it would have, but I think I would have had enough ground to stand on that I could have made it a fun fight for him lol.

Spiders are not necessarily my favorite animal, for what it's worth. I like spiders, but some of the other animals that I like, such as bears, orcas, capybaras or ringed seals, aren't very practical to have as pets. That being said, nowadays I think I like parrots more than tarantulas, so if I were to have a pet, it would probably be a parrot instead.

On another note (perhaps a B flat): Thanks for the game! It was a shame to get killed so early. I don't think the setup was horribly unbalanced, but how it played out, town didn't get much use out of the powers we had, and scum played well. I think if the masons weren't lovers, it would make the setup a lot more balanced and less swingy.

A parrot! That is a fine pet although I think I’ll keep thinking when I see a tarantula “oh, hey, furry… Awaclus would let you live at his place!” I’d forgotten the question was let specific though, so I appreciate the wild animal additions. Donkeys are my favorite barnyard animal, but I don’t have a barn. Big cats are the animals that fascinate me most, but they are obviously not pets.
