Day starts/ends: Day 1 start (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg690452#msg690452)

General rules

Changes to the usual rule sets are marked in olive.

The Golden Rule:


Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!  Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Please read The Civility Pledge (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=7695.0) before signing up for any mafia game on this site.  If you have not /pledged there, you cannot play. Excessive personal attacks or uncivil behavior may be dealt with by modifiers or modkills.

1. General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote information (either real or fabricated) from any game-related source other than the thread you are posting in. This means no quotes from PMs and no quotes from QTs in the main thread or in another QT. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you are unsure whether a post is legal, please ask the moderator before posting.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings and the QTs specifically designed for this purpose.
3. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

2. Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. Day phases will last 7 days, Night lasts at least 36 hours.
2. A simple majority (rounded up) of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline.
3. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate. Further votes will also be ignored.
4. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until the mod locks the thread; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
5. If the deadline is hit without a player reaching the majority of votes, there will be no lynch.
6. Please submit votes as: Vote: PlayerName.  Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold or do not follow this syntax! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
7. Please submit vote revocations Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
8. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
9. If the game goes on for 3 days and 3 nights without a lynch or night kill, town wins.
10. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post in the game or in Quicktopics. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.
11. If the thread is locked, you may not post.  Threads can be locked for various reasons, but no matter what the reason, you may not post.  The mod may forget to lock the thread, but if they say it is locked, it is still locked.

3. Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1. Bold, olive text is reserved for the mod.  No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please discuss this in your role QT.  Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mods may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently.  Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed.  These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mods so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request after 24 hours of no activity.  A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement.  A player who has been prodded 2 times is subject to replacement under rule 3.9 without further notice.
6. Please do not discuss ongoing games, it can unintentionally affect the other game. Do not discuss this game in any thread that is not directly related to it.
7. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, which may include modkill(s) if needed.
8. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.  Treat this game as a commitment.  Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging. Players who fail to post for 48 hours without an announcement, or fail to post for 24 hours repeatedly, risk being subject to replacement and/or being modkilled without further notice.
9. Players who discover they are too busy to play in a game or want to leave the game for civility issues are not allowed to officially /out in the thread.  A request to /out must only be done via a post in the role QT. Please do not use this as a manipulation technique.  (Note players may continue to threaten to /out or imply that they might as long as it does not include an official request). Requests to /out are final once submitted. There will be no /outing and then /inning back into the game so make sure that when you /out you have thought it through and really want to do it. Players that can't be replaced will simply be mod-killed. Whether your request to /out will lead to replacement or a modkill is up to the mod's discretion.

Setup:

This game has 11 players, of which 2 are Mafia Goons and 1 is a Mafia Traitor, the rest are town.

At the beginning of the game, a random maximal matching will be chosen for the following bipartite graph:

(https://s28.postimg.org/3pubb4jd9/Mathia.png)

Any vertices that are part of the maximal matching will be added as roles to the game. The lefthand roles will be added as town roles, and righthand roles will be mafia roles. Roleblocker and 2-shot Ninja will replace a Mafia Goon each, the 1-shot Vigilante will be an addition for the Traitor. The remaining spots will be filled with Vanilla Townies.

This is the randomization process in some more detail:

Quote
1. I will randomly select one of the roles listed above that has not yet been selected and has at least one connection to another role that has not yet been selected. All available options are equally likely. If no such role exists, skip to step 4.
2. I will randomly select one role that has not yet been selected from all roles connected to the role selected in step 1.
3. Both roles from step 1 and 2 are now added to the pool of already selected roles. Now, continue at step 1.
4. All selected roles are added to the game.

[Note: The graph is created in such a way that no moe than six roles can be selected by this process.]

Additional notes:
- If Masons is selected, there will be 2 Masons.
- The 1-shot Bulletproofer selects a target once, at night. The targeted player will receive a passive 1-shot Bulletproof shot. The shot may be used in the same night.
- The Traitor never knows the other mafia players. They will be converted to a standard Mafia Goon if all their partners are dead. If this happens, they lose their Vigilante shot if they had one. The Mafia targeting the Traitor will also result in conversion, with the same effects.
- All players have an assigned flavor name that is hidden to them and will be revealed upon death.
- Only town PRs and the Traitor will have individual QTs.

NIght action Resolution:
In case of conflicting night actions, actions will be resolved in this order:

1. 1-shot Bulletproofer
2. Roleblocker
3. Jailkeeper
4. 1-shot Vigilante Traitor
5. Vigilante
6. Mafia nightkill
7. Watcher

Sample PMs (QTs use a lighter green for the roles):

You also need to explain how the random matching is chosen. Are all maximal matchings equally likely? Or do you randomly add edges until you get a maximal matching?

several of the colored lines are selected such that:
-no two of the selected lines are connected to the same role
-if you added any more lines, it would always break the first rule


the minimum is 2 town / 2 scum roles & the max is 3/3

schadd and faust sat together in the small university room, staring at the board. It was written all over with various formulas; in the top left corner, someone drew a rectangle around a statement.

"Have you made any progress?", faust asked.

"nope. i tried a translation into a topological setting, but that did not work. then i wondered if there may be an elementary solution, but there is a step that just never works out."

"I know.  This really shouldn't be that hard. Let's get some coffee and try to work it out together."


Day 1 begins!

Not Voting (11): Witherweaver, Roadrunner7671, Dylan32, Joseph2302, Robz888, Jimmmmm, SpaceAnemone, gkrieg13, Awaclus, LaLight, JaketheBaseballGod22

Setup-wise, I'm happy to discuss stuff, especially if we do so early, agree whether or not a decent strategy suggests itself, and then move on.

The most important thing of note that isn't necessarily apparent from the graph faust posted is that we're always guaranteed a watcher, with scum always having an RB and a 1-shot vig traitor.

The most likely additions for town are a JK and a 1-shot BP -- I think it's around a 23% chance we have both of those. In half the cases where we have both, the mafia gets to know who the traitor is, and in the other half they get the 2-shot ninja instead. The two least-likely setups occur about 3% of the time each, and in those, we just get a vig, or just get masons, on top of the watcher (and scum gets nothing else).

I can post a breakdown of all 16 sets of roles, with associated likelihood of arriving in that setup, if that's useful? Is anyone else here setuppy enough to want to perform an independent check of my numbers?

All the lines in the picture have different colours. We get all the lines of 1 colour

This is a load of rubbish!

We get a subset of the lines (they're called edges in graphs, usually) faust has drawn, such that the edges he picks join distinct pairs of role-names (vertices), so that no name-vertex is connected to more than one other, and no more edges from his initial graph can be added without two or more edges meeting at the same name-vertex. The way he picks names to add into the set, and lines to go with them, is precisely described in the algorithm he quoted in the setup post.

The colours on the edges are coded according to what town role vertex they meet at the left of the bipartite graph.

Sure.. see below :-) Note that this breakdown comes from a script I threw together when I first looked at the setup, that I haven't checked over since, so a cross-check of my numbers would be sensible if anyone wants to base anything else on them. The black number at the start of each row is the percentage chance of RNGing the particular configuration based on faust's algorithm.

So in RMM41, Ash, J Reggie on N1, and I (the scum team) literally never tried to kill the IC (gkrieg). It's just too likely to be targeted by a town PR that would out a scum or foil the kill to actually be worth it for scum, at least right off the bat. If the masons claim, the watcher/JK almost have to target them, which means scum has a very likely safe kill anywhere else. If there are masons, I don't think they should claim until they need to later.

So in case the mod actually doesn't count Awaclus's vote due to it really being a quote fail, you want to hammer away?

Also, I'm willing to bet that if RR is what we think and did what he did, he probably just didn't know that the two previous traitors (or two of the most recent ones to breadcrumb it anyway) had done the same thing and got lynched for it.

"Wait!", faust suddenly exclaimed. "I think I'm onto something. Excited, he walked towards the board, wiping old formulas away and sketching a proof.

"If we assume that an x exists with these properties..." He wrote down some properties. "We can plug that in here, take this to the other side, and then dividing out yields 0 > 0"

"not to be a party pooper", schadd responded, "but i think that you cannot just make that assumption 2. that x may not exist, but it doesn't really show the theorem, does it?"


Roadrunner7671 has been killed! They were Proof by contradiction, the Vigilante!

"maybe", schadd suggested, "it's better to project everything onto a sphere. then we could apply the jordan curve theorem...."

"I don't think that we can extend our map to infinity though. See? If we approach infinity from the x-axis..." faust scribbled some lines of calculation on the board. "However, if we move on the parabola... wait, it's actually the same!"

"no it's not. you missed the minus signs over there."


Robz888 has been killed! They were the Jordan curve theorem, the Jailkeeper.

Witherweaver has been killed! They were a sign error, the Mafia 2-shot Ninja.

Day 2 begins!

Good deal (sort of). We lost the vig but took down a scum at night anyway. I love a good double cross.  Another positive is that the two remaining scum will be forced to work independently now. I guess that can make it harder (if not impossible) to partner hunt, but they won't be able to coordinate how they are going to try to drive the game, so I think the balance of power is tilted in town's favor as far as day interactions are concerned, so we are in good shape.

Actually, #97 is pretty much a vig-slip, and his follow-up joke about being the traitor (at #112) might just have been his way of covering for it. Robz, Dylan and Joseph were pretty quick to jump on the RR wagon following that joke, so other than Robz, that's where I'm most suspicious for now -- Dylan and Joseph (and Awaclus) might have realised RR was the vig before voting.

Ah, I left this post part-written for a couple of hours and now the speed seems to have improved :-) Definitely time to sleep now, though.

Yeah, I realized he was a vig and that's why I was trying to defend him and put pressure on other people. Unfortunately that didn't work out exactly how I planned it :S

Yeah yesterday I just gave up on using the forum because of the load time. After the vig breadcrumb, I thought he was the vig, but after the traitor thing I was convinced he was traitor setting up a fakeclaim after he shot someone n1 to either be IC or out the real vig.

The guy's vla, what do you want to achieve with the wagon? vote: SA

This is scummy.

RR is scum. I am ready to eat my tie on it. fully serious vote: RR

More scummy.

Also the height of the WW wagon was: gkrieg, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus, RR

So people not on wagon that aren't dead are: LaLight, Space, Jimmmmm, Jake.

I would be willing to bet that the partner is not on the wagon, and that the traitor is on the wagon.

Day 1 Final Vote Count

Witherweaver (1): gkrieg13

With 11 alive, it took 6 to lynch.

And here is the EoD wagon.  People on the mislynch who could've hammered WW are: LaLight, Jake.

vote: LaLight

Nonsense. Why in the world would I hammer anyone so early in the day? O_o you can't base your analysis on people who could've hammered WW. This doesn't make any sense.

I catches pr vibes from RR and was sure they are scummy, that's all.

Hey, you of all people should know i'm town at this point!

You would hammer if you thought they were scum.

So I wasn't sure why gkrieg thought LL's post asking what people wanted to accomplish with the WW wagon was scummy, but then I reread the wagon, and that post was actually LL getting off the wagon once it got up to L-2. I was thinking the same thing at the time about WW being VLA, but that does seem like an almost too perfect excuse for him to get off the wagon after early day bussing.  Vote: LaLight

It wasn't necessarily a RVs wagon. RR had given strong indication he was the traitor, as he was fishing for information.

Although I don't think LL is scummy based on RR wagon.

Updated thoughts on the game from my lunch-time read-through:

1) LL should have eaten his tie, since RR was a PR and not a scum :-)

2) RR's vig-slip is at #97.

3) #108: LL mentions that he thinks RR could be a traitor because he's "clearly not town".

4) #112: Here's where RR got himself into trouble, though he didn't even say he was the traitor. I think he was just wifoming as cover for his PR-slip.

5) The wagon builds from #115 onwards. (Robz @#113, Dylan @#115, Joseph @#117). LL and Jake were already on there. It's notable that WW didn't join the wagon, even though he did respond to RR between #100 and #103. That could be evidence that his buddy was already on-wagon, i.e. LL or Jake.

6) Yeah, I agree with Awaclus that Joseph is a strong contender for traitor. (#123).

7) I'm not sure whether to read anything into LL being so on top of solving the game state before most of the rest of us were awake/posting at the start of D2. Of course, we had all the data we needed after the flips, and he's clearly copy-pasted from my role breakdown, but chances are that scums would be quicker than towns to follow that through, given that they'd have had more info to pin the configuration down to begin with.

8. Did anyone ever check my role breakdown? (How to you make 8-closebrackets not come out like a sunglasses emoticon?)

9) In reference to gkrieg's post #174:
Some high points on the WW wagon:
#79 WW: LL, gkreig, Robz, Joseph  {L-2}
#81 WW: gkreig, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus  {L-2}
#86 WW: gkreig, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus, RR  {L-1}
So people not on-wagon for WW who aren't dead: Space, Jimmmmm, Jake, Dylan -- gkrieg's argument is that one of these should be the scum.
People on-wagon for RR probably do include the other scum; that's LL, Jake, Robz, Dylan, Joseph and Awaclus.
So Dylan and Jake are the only two on-wagon for RR and off-wagon for WW, though LL wasn't voting WW for long after his wagon built up, so he's another possible partner.

10) #212 -- Go Jake! I like how Jake's showing up Joseph's lack of grasp of current events by contrasting it with some clear logical facts backed up by quotes :-) I also agree that not having hammered WW is not in itself a scum tell (I also did not hammer him!), but I think the people merrily joining the wagon as it grows are still somewhat less suspicious than those of us who just weren't interested in it.

LaLight. It's not that you should've hammered, it's that you unvoted and then tried to get people to look elsewhere.

Scum would avoid the wagon all together. So it's not that there wasn't a hammer, it's that those people weren't on the wagon to begin with.

Title: Re: M99: Mathia (Day 2)
Post by: gkrieg13 on May 02, 2017, 10:44:12 pm
So, my thoughts on what happened so far:

  • Awaclus hammer definitely looks like an accident. Doesn't seem scummy to me therefore. Also, RR was looking kind of scummy.
  • LL went off the wagon when it was L-2. Why is this considered so scummy? After all, he left a mislynch wagon?
  • As it's a traitor game, scum couldn't have known for sure that RR was town. He seemed like the traitor after all. Which makes the wagon info a bit less useful.

I agree that Awaclus's thing does look like an accident.  I don't think you do that as scum, and it is a mistake I've made before.  I think that RR's play wasn't the best with his random claiming, but I don't think I ever got the feeling that he was scum.  I think considering WW did have a large wagon (I get that some of it was RVS) it is more likely that there is scum on RR's wagon.

5) The wagon builds from #115 onwards. (Robz @#113, Dylan @#115, Joseph @#117). LL and Jake were already on there. It's notable that WW didn't join the wagon, even though he did respond to RR between #100 and #103. That could be evidence that his buddy was already on-wagon, i.e. LL or Jake.

I think this is a great point.  And also something I was already considering.


6) Yeah, I agree with Awaclus that Joseph is a strong contender for traitor. (#123).

And why is that?

7) I'm not sure whether to read anything into LL being so on top of solving the game state before most of the rest of us were awake/posting at the start of D2. Of course, we had all the data we needed after the flips, and he's clearly copy-pasted from my role breakdown, but chances are that scums would be quicker than towns to follow that through, given that they'd have had more info to pin the configuration down to begin with.


Uh, I think this is relatively weak.  Although on the other hand, I opened the thread, saw who was killed and thought "that is good and sucks at the same time" seeing that we had lost a couple PRs, and didn't look at the setup stuff, so I guess it isn't super weak.


8. Did anyone ever check my role breakdown? (How to you make 8-closebrackets not come out like a sunglasses emoticon?)


If you put a [b'][/b'] (without the 's) in between it works I think 8) (quote that to see what I mean)

9) In reference to gkrieg's post #174:
Some high points on the WW wagon:
#79 WW: LL, gkreig, Robz, Joseph  {L-2}
#81 WW: gkreig, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus  {L-2}
#86 WW: gkreig, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus, RR  {L-1}
So people not on-wagon for WW who aren't dead: Space, Jimmmmm, Jake, Dylan -- gkrieg's argument is that one of these should be the scum.
People on-wagon for RR probably do include the other scum; that's LL, Jake, Robz, Dylan, Joseph and Awaclus.
So Dylan and Jake are the only two on-wagon for RR and off-wagon for WW, though LL wasn't voting WW for long after his wagon built up, so he's another possible partner.

10) #212 -- Go Jake! I like how Jake's showing up Joseph's lack of grasp of current events by contrasting it with some clear logical facts backed up by quotes :-) I also agree that not having hammered WW is not in itself a scum tell (I also did not hammer him!), but I think the people merrily joining the wagon as it grows are still somewhat less suspicious than those of us who just weren't interested in it.

And also Space didn't try to pull the attention off WW like others did, which I think is the big distinction.  Ironically, the traitor thought that WW wasn't scum, so people saying that "one partner is here, another partner is there" aren't thinking correctly.  The traitor was sure that WW was town, and most likely less experienced (who kills someone who had a major wagon on them?  That just gives so much more information!!!)

Actually I hadn't thought about that point before.  It might narrow down a little bit who the traitor is.

LaLight. It's not that you should've hammered, it's that you unvoted and then tried to get people to look elsewhere.

Scum would avoid the wagon all together. So it's not that there wasn't a hammer, it's that those people weren't on the wagon to begin with.

I left it on 4th page because I thought WW is VLA and wagon will just break itself because nothing will be happening, that's all

This is mildly scummy.

But you also have to look at what LaLight did instead of hammering.  He started pushing for RR, which is exactly what a partner does when their buddy is closish to being lynched.

Re: Jake's analysis of the WWagon.  Yeah I hate the way people just jump on early RVS wagons for no reason or just for the sake of building a wagon.  I'm starting to appreciate PPS's crusade to kill careless wagons by his alignment-independent quickhammers on bad wagons. This derphammer is another good example of why jumping on wagons for the sake of wagons is bad (generally, unless you have a specific reason or plan)

True in RVS, but I think it is good in general to have wagons formed.  It helps later in analysis when there is a good wagon formed on a scum.

The forum is prohibitively slow... I've reached click-something-and-check-back-in-5-mins levels of access speed :-( Is that why it's so dead in this game right now?

Had RR actually sort of indicated that he might be a vig through his question at #89? Actually, #97 is pretty much a vig-slip, and his follow-up joke about being the traitor (at #112) might just have been his way of covering for it. Robz, Dylan and Joseph were pretty quick to jump on the RR wagon following that joke, so other than Robz, that's where I'm most suspicious for now -- Dylan and Joseph (and Awaclus) might have realised RR was the vig before voting.

Ah, I left this post part-written for a couple of hours and now the speed seems to have improved :-) Definitely time to sleep now, though.

Why are you singling Robz out of these people but not placing a vote?

Are you suggesting I should be voting for Robz, or that I should have picked one of the others to vote for?

Either way, I think you're maybe just misreading me, which isn't that surprising given the mangled sentence I seem to have written :-P

What I was trying to say was that the set people jumping opportunistically onto the RR wagon are suspicious, except that I need to exclude Robz from the set because he flipped town, so it's hard to stay suspicious. That leaves me with Dylan or Joseph, or possibly Awaclus, if we think the quote-fail was carefully-crafted scum shenanigans.

Ironically, the traitor thought that WW wasn't scum, so people saying that "one partner is here, another partner is there" aren't thinking correctly.

Which players have been pushing that style of argument? Mine was clearly talking about a singular partner, which would be all WW was aware of, given what we know about the setup.

Incidentally, gkrieg, you're possibly the most algorithm-literate person left alive in here now... did you ever take a look at the game breakdowns I posted and/or check I hadn't missed any other plausible configurations?

I tend to accuse you of anti-town play when you play in a way that is unhelpful to town... see my previous comment about low-utility-town meta :-)

The main point of having a "hey, I look bad as town, too" sort of cover is that it makes it easier for you to hide pro-scum play in games where that's relevant. As reasons for lynches go, I think "playing in a way that isn't good for town" is right up there with "making scum-slips", even if the former feels a bit more like a policy lynch.

On a somewhat related note, what particularly townie things have you contributed to the game?

I'll ask this again, are there any better reasons for anyone else being scum?  Like no one has offered ANYTHING else.
Idk how about your non stop targeting of LL who I think has been pretty town. Scum usually bases their cases off weak reasoning. This case is based off of weak reasoning. You look pretty scummy to me right now

I started WW wagon, which gave us information
And I put RR on L1 which seemed sensible given that he was so blatantly anti-town

It is pretty scummy to try to get people to doubt their ability to read you.  That is something that scum wants to do that town doesn't want to do.

6) Yeah, I agree with Awaclus that Joseph is a strong contender for traitor. (#123).

And why is that?

I've got a few notes towards my case on Joseph, but nothing yet that couldn't be explained as a player who's just not very into the game and likes playing to their own low-utility-town meta.
I actually hate playing and being inactive. It just happens that I've been away.

Also, you thought I was scum last game, and many other times too- have you ever been right about me being scum?

This is pretty scummy I think

Pretty scummy? For Joseph?

Also I thought Space was a little bit townie for their evaluation of the setup, until I saw the scum QT for newbie mafia, and now it is super duper null for me.

What is it in that QT that makes you think that the likelihood of me sharing town-useful information in the main thread as scum have gone up compared to before?

Your long analysis of wagons. You do big analyses as scum.

I analyse voting patterns every game nowadays. If you want me to post my total coloured-in rolling vote count for this game so far, I can do so later, but I only have that on my laptop, and I won't be back on that till I'm home after choir later tonight. (I assume I can put colour into a code tag, so as not to clog the thread too much, though I can't remember whether I've tried that before).

Anyway, in what way is my paying attention to votes related to how null or otherwise my breakdown of the setup probabilities is?

I didn't look at your breakdown, but if you just look at the graph, it is obvious that you have the correct setup for this game. Knowing 2 town roles and 2 scum roles makes it really easy to do the rest of the matching by hand and see there aren't any other options.

The real reason this is relevant is that it demonstrates that you didn't worry about it in D1 but you are probably capable of having checked.

Now, maybe that's just because you weren't particularly present, maybe you just trusted that I'm right (working alone a lot, I never trust myself without good reason, because there' nobody else on hand to spot my mistakes), but it could also be that you weren't interested because scum had more information given that they knew about the set of scum roles in the game.

At least, that was my thinking when I asked you the question. Looking at the possibilities and the graph now, marginalising on the scum roles we now know are in the game doesn't really narrow the possible town roles down that much. That's actually a pretty neat feature of the game design :-)

If you click "home" and then the bottom button that says the number of guests and members online it will tell you what everyone is looking at

Ah, okay. I knew about that page, but it only tells you what the latest page each user loaded is, AFAIK. I'd wondered whether there was a way to list all the users who'd loaded a page/topic in the past few minutes or something. Though I think I'm quite happy about it if the answer is no, because I'm not sure I want to admit to having seen some of the things I've noticed and then run quickly away from over in RSP, for instance!

It's something I object to in the strongest of terms, because it's an incorrect representation of something someone said, presented in a format usually reserved for verbatim reproductions. I'm also not a fan of quoting such a minimal subset of a post that the apparent context changes, but that's harder issue to draw a line around.

It's likely that the person whose words have been edited is much more likely to be aware of the edit than any player (I hadn't noticed your "funny effective point" till gkrieg pointed it out), so it suggests itself to me as a vehicle for some attempts at subtle signalling, re the cryptography discussion going on elsethread. It may be interesting to discuss that over there once this game has concluded.

I feel like we should try to lynch the other scum because now that the traitor has used their they are useless whereas the other scum has a NK as well as the ability to RB. I feel like the other scum is more dangerous so I think we should try to lynch then first.

When the last scum-not-traitor is lynched, the traitor inherits the NK if I'm not mistaken, so no matter which order they are killed, scum has 1 NK per night from now on.

No matter their alignment I don't think anyone would have actually hammered. I know I wouldn't have and I am pretty sure LL wouldn't have ethier.

But you also have to look at what LaLight did instead of hammering.  He started pushing for RR, which is exactly what a partner does when their buddy is closish to being lynched.

Wait... instead of hammering who?

LL could have hammered WW at any point in the whole 10-minute window during which WW was at L-1, between posts #86 and #87...

(And the person who left the wagon at #87 was Robz, who moved his vote to LL).
Possibly, but why would LL (or anyone else) have wanted to hammer WW so early in the day?
It seems somewhat reasonable to me that LL looked for alternative options.

For like the millionth time, I think it is the way LaLight left the wagon, and tried to get another wagon going that he is scummy, not that he didn't hammer WW when given the chance.
I know what you're saying.
I just disagree that it's scummy.

Is it townie or null?

That's true, but there is only 1 town PR left, so the odds either of them actually manages to see or block the other is slim anyway. You're right that hitting non-traitor first is strictly better, but only by so much.  I just don't think there's enough of a difference due to the unlikelihood of either PR hitting the other to warrant paying attention to who might be what role rather than just "is the person scum"

I think there is only one possible setup, when you remove all lines for roles we know exist and match.

To check if you were right, I would've had to build my own simulator, which is not something I want to do the week before the semester ends  :)

Because he posted this:

It looks like you identified something that you felt LA "scum slipped" and have voted him for that ever since. I went back to see if I could find something and couldn't.

Generally I think I see what you are saying. But in this specific case, claiming or not claiming 1-shot BP isn't horrible.

quote author=schadd link=topic=17134.msg686220#msg686220 date=1491184928]
just to ruin this for everyone, current mafiascum meta is to claim 1-shot bulletproof immediately
[/quote]

I would have been fine not going down that road, but RR started us down it. And I think we should keep going. It isn't going to hurt the game for us and it might even help.

We can't erase how RR did or how people responded, what we can do is continue to move in that direction to town's best benefit.

So using the "there's just a square bracket missing" argument is pretty silly in that light.

Guys, let's lynch gk, plz. Especially if he's alive next day.

I don't get what you mean by the first part.  And the second part is just not true.  I've been at or around LYLO in a couple of the last few games as town, so me being alive D2 is definitely not a scum tell.  Especially in a game where mafia doesn't know the traitor, so they change up their kills a little bit.

Awaclus, if you're town, don't you think you're biased on me? Will you reconsider if I flip town?

Does town say this kind of thing?  Town knows that whatever they have done is not from a scum mindset, so biases don't come to mind as much I would think.

Antitown along with bad town play =/= scum

But, you could argue lynching antitown and bad town play actually gives a net positive for town in some situations.

I think this is the same argument of why faust rarely gets lynched, especially D1.

Also I thought Space was a little bit townie for their evaluation of the setup, until I saw the scum QT for newbie mafia, and now it is super duper null for me.

What is it in that QT that makes you think that the likelihood of me sharing town-useful information in the main thread as scum have gone up compared to before?

Your long analysis of wagons. You do big analyses as scum.

I analyse voting patterns every game nowadays. If you want me to post my total coloured-in rolling vote count for this game so far, I can do so later, but I only have that on my laptop, and I won't be back on that till I'm home after choir later tonight. (I assume I can put colour into a code tag, so as not to clog the thread too much, though I can't remember whether I've tried that before).

Anyway, in what way is my paying attention to votes related to how null or otherwise my breakdown of the setup probabilities is?

Well I would say that scum usually doesn't go to that much effort, but clearly you do.

Hmm. Do you see why your logic in this isn't tracking for me? I've been scum three times, and if you look at the level of planning that went on in the scum QT of NM8, it was probably more than in NM10.

I've also pointed out in previous games as town that I'm keeping a voting record, and corrected mods several times, to the point of noting one time that faust's incorrect vote count meant there was a missed hammer (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=16564.msg663043#msg663043)... that was a bit of an unfortunate instance where I fell quite far behind on my personal rolling vote count and didn't notice till rather later that I disagreed with the mod.

Anyway, I feel like this isn't new behaviour for me, this is just me being a slightly pedantic data scientist. So what makes you want to explicitly null-read me for town play over it? That just feels wrong.

The "if I flip town" part of LL's sentence, rather than "when I flip town" seems mildly indicative of a non-town player, though I'm less confident with him than I would be with a native speaker.

You seem to be picking up on the "bias" part of it, rather than that, though, and in that part I really disagree. I certainly feel like on the occasions when you've misliynched me, or at least voted for me when we were both town, I've reminded you that we do seem to scumread each other easily. I may not have used the work "bias", but I feel that it fits perfectly well in the way LL used it.

I've just checked, and he has no VLA in force, and none of his posts indicate that he's got time constraints. Is he usually this absent? (I've never played with him, so that's a genuine question for the old vets...).

Something you do as both town and as scum means that I can't get alignment from it, which means that it is null.  I feel like we are talking about two different things here honestly.  And about something that isn't that big of a deal.

Unfortunately, he is often this absent in games.  And he is usually town when he is this lurky (meaning that he does it as either alignment).  I have also seen him be more active as both alignments, so it isn't a tell.

They very much are language things, in some languages they are interchangeable. I.e. In German, wenn can mean when or if, depending on context.

Could be a scumslip, but I'm not convinced it is.

Can you pinpoint where I diverge from your train of thought below, then?

You said that you read the scum QT for NM10, and that seeing that I put effort into analysing wagons as scum changed your mind about my likely towniness here.

You now agree that me counting votes or coding up a generator are things I'll do as any alignment.
-- You seem to conflate the two, because in the scum QT I only showed evidence of vote-counting, but here you were specifically commenting on my coding-up of the generator and/or my posting of its outcome.

This implies that previously the thing you might otherwise have awarded townpoints for was the fact that I'd gone to the effort of coding up a generator, rather than merely the fact that I pasted its output into the thread. (I get to this conclusion because me posting townie results to the main thread as scum in NM10 didn't happen).

In contrast, I assert that the town-indicative thing about my sharing my probability distribution over configurations wasn't the fact that I made the effort to create it in the first place, but the fact that I shared the results in-thread, rather than keeping them just for me and my hypothetical parallel-universe scum buddies.

If you're town, I apologise for belabouring what is, I agree, a boring and unimportant point. However, in my experience, I don't usually push quite hard enough when something doesn't make sense, and I've identified a couple of places in my previous play where I haven't gone far enough down this sort of rabbit hole, so please do bear with me :-)

I'm saying that the fact that you went to so much effort to make the simulator, is similar to what I saw you do with the voting patterns in NM10.  I agree with you that I wasn't taking into account that one of them was posted in the main thread and that the other one wasn't, but you must've realized that someone could have made a simulator other than you and posted into the thread, which means that you would get town points for posting the results in the thread.

So what I'm saying is that you posting the results of your simulation and running the simulation in the first place is just evidence that you haven't been abducted by aliens more than it is an indication of your alignment.

I guess you get slight town points for posting the results in the thread, but like not a ton.  It is something that I could see you doing as scum as well.

I don't think he has a particular history of reading me in any specific way.

I am scum reading him, but I will admit he could potentially be town.  I'm not so sure as to not be able to recognize the presence of a narrative for both alignments.  However, so far, the way he got off the witherwagon is the single scummiest thing that has happened comparatively speaking (arguably except for RR's traitor comment, which ended up just being a bad attempt to wifom away his vig!slip), and so I have no reason to have my vote anywhere else at the moment.

And now I think more about it the fact that your wagon has been stalled at L-2 doesn't actually tell us very much.  The traitor doesn't know his partner and the partner doesn't know the traitor, so scum doesn't exactly know where to go.  Although if they think you are scummy, they might try to not vote for you.

I'll have to think about it some more.

I absolutely hated the early reasoning for LL being scum but with every post he seems more scummy. I still don't think he's scum but I am beginning to doubt my read.

You should doubt it some more.

It's technically correct to use his instead of their in that sentence, because English doesn't have a singular, gender-neutral option.  But singular they has been making a comeback.  Using his is definitely not a scumslip.

I'm kind of glad you pointed out by yourself that the wagon being there but stalled is not in fact indicative of LL being scum. It was my first thought when catching up just now when I got to your post about how it probably makes LL scum.

I was not part of the RR mislynch, and was voting for scum at the end of the day.  I'm clearly not the traitor, because I wouldn't have made that kill, which leaves me to just be the other scum.  When you read my D1, I don't look like WW's partner.  To be fair, there isn't much to go off of, but I'm definitely not the traitor.

The fact I haven't jumped on a wagon doesn't mean I'm not scumreading some people. I feel like some people are inferring that those not voting don't think either of our current wagons has much validity.

Dylan -- seemed solid, but that's also what he does as scum. Leaning town for now.
Joseph -- got a lot of work to do to redeem himself, if he wants us to believe he's a useful townie after all. Looks traitorous for the time being.
Jimmmmm -- so absent he's just a null black void.
Space -- spaaaaaaaaace :-)
gkrieg -- pinging faint alarm bells, but then the people on his wagon are also not townie-looking, so I'm torn.
Awaclus -- more talkative than normal, but not really any easier to read for it. Null leaning town.
LaLight -- I see where all the scumreads are coming from, though all evidence at present is weak. He's on the scummy side of null to me, but he's a high-variance datapoint.
Jake -- has made sense and indicated independent thought, which means he's continuing to improve as a player and actually paying attention. Since he's got a lot of more-wacky meta he could fall back on if he wanted to play scummily, I think this puts him towards the townie end of my spectrum for now.

Uh, you don't shoot the only other person to give town any kind of read with your one vig shot D1.  That one shot gave out crazy amounts of information, that could've otherwise been kept secret from town.  Literally the worst shot possible.  And way too early.

So, an attempt to do something useful this game:

  • So the people on the early WW wagon were LL, gkrieg, Robz, me. Then LL left wagon and Awaclus & RR joined it.
  • #88- LL declared RR is definitely scum- clearly wrong about that.
  • Mislynch wagon was LaLight, JaketheBaseballGod22, Robz888, Dylan32, Joseph2302, Awaclus
  • Someone shot WW, must be the traitor. Which begs the question who is ballsy/dumb enough to fire that shot N1? I'm thinking maybe Jake (because he seems crazy enough to shoot N1) or maybe Jimmmm (as he doesn't seem massively engaged with the game). Could also be LL, who thought WW was good, hence why he got off the wagon. I slightly prefer that theory.
  • #142- LL claimed he was now IC, #143 he claimed I was bussing WW
  • Lots of discussion about LL moving off WW wagon. If he is scum, it makes sense, and if he is traitor then also it kind of does.
  • LL has spent most of the day on L-2, but no-one wants to unvote, and no-one has yet added votes. Hmm. That seems a bit odd IMO, but as the 2 scum don't know each other, that's not necessarily towny/scummy
  • And people (Space) seem to think I'm traitor for sure. I understand the reason, but I 100% think taking that shot N1 would have been a bad traitor move.

How do you feel about other people in the game other than the people that you think are possibly the traitor?

Talk me very slowly through your logic here. Traitor!LL doesn't want to lynch WW, because he thought WW was "good"? So that's why he unvoted. That's your leading theory, yes? The one you've pondered enough that you prefer it to other theories?

I think there's very little evidence for LL being the traitor, but comparatively more for him being WW's full partner.

Dylan32 - null
Joseph2302 - IC
SpaceAnemone - I think town but just wrong about me again. Getting the same feelings as last game when she was town & she was sure I was bad.
gkrieg13 - Could be scum bussing LL (although it's not really a bus since scum/traitor don't know each other)
Awaclus - seems to have posted more than is usual for him. Leaning slightly town

But I still think for today, it's easier to try & get traitor. We have info on them as they vigged N1.

Wait what. What happend to "Joseph is traitor" and now all of a sudden I am. First of all I would never shoot N1 with only one shoot. I would save that for a much more advantageous situation in the game or if I thought I would get lynched the next day. (I don't) Also if you look at my past history I'm extremely frugal with my pr uses especially if I have a limited amount of shots. If you look at M97 I was a two shot doctor and didn't use it N1 because it was too random that it's not advantageous. If I only had one shot there is no way I'd ever use it N1 especially as a just random shot. I can't wait until tomorrow to drop my theory's on who the traitor is. I'm decently sure I know who it is.

In other news, it was polling day for local elections in many parts of the UK today. Go democracy! :-)

@Joseph, are you deliberately ignoring my request for you to clarify how your traitor reasoning works with respect to LL?

I do think Joseph has some good analysis about the traitor though.  I do think it is likely Jake or Jimmmm.  Although Jimmmm is an experienced player, even though he is absent much of the time.

I'd like to hear what you thought of his case for LL being the traitor. Though please don't say anything at all on it till after Joseph himself has had a chance to explain what his reasoning was there.

Also, you thought I was scum last game, and many other times too- have you ever been right about me being scum?

I tend to accuse you of anti-town play when you play in a way that is unhelpful to town... see my previous comment about low-utility-town meta :-)

The main point of having a "hey, I look bad as town, too" sort of cover is that it makes it easier for you to hide pro-scum play in games where that's relevant. As reasons for lynches go, I think "playing in a way that isn't good for town" is right up there with "making scum-slips", even if the former feels a bit more like a policy lynch.

On a somewhat related note, what particularly townie things have you contributed to the game?
I started WW wagon, which gave us information
And I put RR on L1 which seemed sensible given that he was so blatantly anti-town

I'm re-reading, and rediscovered this gem.

You were the fourth to arrive on the WW wagon, so "started" is an outright lie. Still, it appears to be an attempt to grab townpoints for having been instrumental in the almost-lynch of a scum.

... except that later in D2, you claimed surprise that WW had flipped town, and said that you'd need to completely re-read in order to reconcile that with your analysis, because apparently you'd thought he was town.

How does that work?

As for putting RR to L-1, he absolutely was not "blatantly" anti-town. He'd made a PR-slip! At worst, he was being confusing in his attempt at blustering humour with which to cover the slip, and voting for him is at best equally likely to come from town as from scum, so I don't buy it as a "townie" action at all.

(Is this one of those cases where I fail to understand what was actually meant to be a joke? If so, my genuine serious question still stands).

Interesting observation: Joseph was (I think) the first person to apply the "I'd never usa a vig shot N1" argument. It has since been used by gkrieg and Jake.

Reading the setup post, the traitor loses their shot if they get recruited (either by being the night target or if the actual scums die). That means there probably is additional pressure for them to use it before they lose it. I find it interesting that nobody else is pointing this fact out. Presumably the traitor themself is well aware of that rule, though they may even use the "never that early" defense to look more townie.

Annoyingly, it does sort of make Joseph marginally less likely to be the traitor, unless he's playing a significantly less blundering game than he appears to be.

And with that thought, I'm going to sleep!

Actually to the three who haven't voted at all today: that is unacceptable
Fine Vote: Gkrieg13

Wait what. What happend to "Joseph is traitor" and now all of a sudden I am. First of all I would never shoot N1 with only one shoot. I would save that for a much more advantageous situation in the game or if I thought I would get lynched the next day. (I don't) Also if you look at my past history I'm extremely frugal with my pr uses especially if I have a limited amount of shots. If you look at M97 I was a two shot doctor and didn't use it N1 because it was too random that it's not advantageous. If I only had one shot there is no way I'd ever use it N1 especially as a just random shot. I can't wait until tomorrow to drop my theory's on who the traitor is. I'm decently sure I know who it is.

Why not just do that right now?
Because I'd rather wait a day/night cycle to see if said person dies.

And just voting for me because I told you that it was not ok to not vote for an entire day is pretty scummy.  Why do you think I'm scummy?

Why didn't you vote for me earlier in the day?  Why didn't you vote for anyone earlier in the day?

Do I have to always be voting? I would rather be not voting and then put my votes down later in the day. I didn't vote for anyone earlier in the day because none of the positions on early D2 were any good. Once I found a postion/case that I liked I voted there. I would rather wait till tomorrow to aggressively vote/go after someone until tomorrow when I have been able to see another NK/flip and see if they fit into my theory.

Well not voting is antitown. It makes it hard to analyze anything. Wagons are good because without them we have no information on who would lynch whom, which is like the whole game.

We are basically playing a vanilla game at this point, so votes are all we have.

I mean look at the extremes. If no one voted until the very end of the day, how would we ever know where people stand. On the other hand, it would be informative if everyone was able to place many votes at once so we could see who is willing to lynch whom.

I don't think I've ever seen Jake hesitate to vote like this. I think this might be a sign of scum (traitor specifically) not wanting to end up hitting scum with a lynch, so he doesn't want to actually vote. The D1 shot of WW (which seems to be generally agreed to have come from new and/or unengaged traitor) and this newfound resistance to voting makes me suspicious. If there's no way an LL lynch is going to happen, I could talk myself into going for Jake.

Somewhat purposely. I saw it yesterday, but by that time I wasn't sobre enough to give a decent response.

If LL is traitor and he thinks WW is town, then he's being clever by getting himself off of a mislynch wagon. But he can then use vig shot to shoot WW, and there's another person lynched. I.e. He gets more information, and the person he thinks is town still dies.

Of course, it turned out WW was scum, but we have to assume the traitor was pretty sure WW was town.

Of which I obviously was not sure. How can anyone be sure that anyone else is town, unless it's an IC? Especially on D1?

Why would I take the risk? Look at my past games. I never use my shots for any role on D1 when I have a limited amount of them. I already made a super long post about why and how I wouldn't use the shot N1 yet you just seem to ignore that.

Of course, it turned out WW was scum, but we have to assume the traitor was pretty sure WW was town.

Your logic is still horribly tenuous even without alcohol getting involved. What you're saying is that at post #80 in the thread, which is where LL switched his vote from WW to me, LL had such a convincing townread on WW that he formulated a plan to gain townpoints for cleverly and pointedly withdrawing support for the wagon. That's what you're saying, right?

By post #80, WW had made two whole posts in the entire game. The first actual game post in the thread was at post #49, and was LL. The second was at post #50, and that was where LL voted for WW. So that's 30 posts'-worth of playing in which LL formulated all this (in case you want to count things up in terms of how much PoE info he might also have gathered in that time). I think there's just nothing there to support your "leading theory" about how LL is the traitor.

OTOH, gkrieg was suggesting that LL moving his vote might be an indication he's WW's partner. I can see that idea much more clearly, because in that case, LL knows WW's alignment and knows he doesn't want the wagon to succeed. I feel like you've seen gkrieg making an argument about how LL's vote was scummy, changed it around a bit so you can pretend it's original insight, and then suddenly had to retrofit a sub-par excuse to it after the fact.

The forum seems to be loading better now; I'll catch up later today.

My only comments at this point are: If you're quoting USE THE PREVIEW BUTTON. Also don't be so willing to lynch people over very minor things very early into D1. Sadly these are just as likely bad Town plays as scum plays.

Vote: Joseph

Attempted Townslip.

Oh wait, I misunderstood. Never mind. Unvote

In answer to your question, no. If the Watcher is matched to anything else, there are no more edges for Mafia Knows Traitor.

No matter their alignment I don't think anyone would have actually hammered. I know I wouldn't have and I am pretty sure LL wouldn't have ethier.

But you also have to look at what LaLight did instead of hammering.  He started pushing for RR, which is exactly what a partner does when their buddy is closish to being lynched.

Wait... instead of hammering who?

I was finding the way gkrieg was arguing for LaLight scummy. Now I'm finding LaLight scummy. I'm going to re-read again and post more in the next day or so, I promise!

PSA: I have tomorrow off and mostly to myself. Please don't lynch me in my sleep.

Thanks space.

Speaking of stuff, is it common practice for vigs to shoot N2? I can totally see myself making one too many joke and getting gunned down.
Scummy Vote: RR maybe if you don't want to get shoot, don't make so may jokes.

Wow that's was a quick day. RR actually looks like scum traitor to me.

Lol That day/night was terrible and also very good. Losing two of our three Pr's sucked but getting scum D1/N1 is also a massive boost for town and makes it much easier for a town win.

feels so good to be in a game again! And I am still not scumread by Awaclus!

Though feel free to lynch this guy in my semiabsence.

I am IC now
Please stop. Your not a IC.

The guy's vla, what do you want to achieve with the wagon? vote: SA

This is scummy.

RR is scum. I am ready to eat my tie on it. fully serious vote: RR

More scummy.

Also the height of the WW wagon was: gkrieg, Robz, Joseph, Awaclus, RR

So people not on wagon that aren't dead are: LaLight, Space, Jimmmmm, Jake.

I would be willing to bet that the partner is not on the wagon, and that the traitor is on the wagon.

Day 1 Final Vote Count

Witherweaver (1): gkrieg13
LaLight (2): Witherweaver, Jimmmmm
Jimmmmm (1): SpaceAnemone
Roadrunner7671 (6): LaLight, JaketheBaseballGod22, Robz888, Dylan32, Joseph2302, Awaclus

Not Voting (1): Roadrunner7671

With 11 alive, it took 6 to lynch.

And here is the EoD wagon.  People on the mislynch who could've hammered WW are: LaLight, Jake.

vote: LaLight
I would never have hammered anyone this early on a Day.

Sorry for lack of posting I haven't been able to get on the forum until this morning. I think the reasoning for why LL is scum is awful. How can you expect someone to hammer a rvs wagon?

It wasn't necessarily a RVs wagon. RR had given strong indication he was the traitor, as he was fishing for information.

Although I don't think LL is scummy based on RR wagon.
The WW wagon not RR wagon.

This is what I'm talking about. This reasoning is soooooooo flawed. I mean look at the votes on the WW wagon:

Vote: WW to make it a proper wagon.

This is a rvs vote. Then the very next post:

Vote: WW

Wagons are fun

then this

The guy's vla, what do you want to achieve with the wagon?

What do you not want to achieve with the wagon? Vote: WW

Vote: WW
Sorry. I lied about him being at L1, but I want my statement to be true.

I mean how can you expect someone to hammer a person after those are votes that put them on L-1.  Especially after how little time had passed in the game.

No matter their alignment I don't think anyone would have actually hammered. I know I wouldn't have and I am pretty sure LL wouldn't have ethier.

I'll ask this again, are there any better reasons for anyone else being scum?  Like no one has offered ANYTHING else.
Idk how about your non stop targeting of LL who I think has been pretty town. Scum usually bases their cases off weak reasoning. This case is based off of weak reasoning. You look pretty scummy to me right now

Theory question for anyone who feels like contributing to the game over the next few hours: should we be trying to lynch the other scum right now, or are there arguments for settling on a traitor lynch?

Are the people on the LL wagon of the opinion that he's scum-and-not-traitor?
I feel like we should try to lynch the other scum because now that the traitor has used their they are useless whereas the other scum has a NK as well as the ability to RB. I feel like the other scum is more dangerous so I think we should try to lynch then first.

When the last scum-not-traitor is lynched, the traitor inherits the NK if I'm not mistaken, so no matter which order they are killed, scum has 1 NK per night from now on.
Yes but last scum also has RB ability.

I absolutely hated the early reasoning for LL being scum but with every post he seems more scummy. I still don't think he's scum but I am beginning to doubt my read.

Wait what. What happend to "Joseph is traitor" and now all of a sudden I am. First of all I would never shoot N1 with only one shoot. I would save that for a much more advantageous situation in the game or if I thought I would get lynched the next day. (I don't) Also if you look at my past history I'm extremely frugal with my pr uses especially if I have a limited amount of shots. If you look at M97 I was a two shot doctor and didn't use it N1 because it was too random that it's not advantageous. If I only had one shot there is no way I'd ever use it N1 especially as a just random shot. I can't wait until tomorrow to drop my theory's on who the traitor is. I'm decently sure I know who it is.

Actually to the three who haven't voted at all today: that is unacceptable
Fine Vote: Gkrieg13

Why not just do that right now?
Because I'd rather wait a day/night cycle to see if said person dies.

But there isn't that much going on, so what is the point of waiting?  I feel like today has just been me talking, while you haven't really said anything.

And just voting for me because I told you that it was not ok to not vote for an entire day is pretty scummy.  Why do you think I'm scummy?

Why didn't you vote for me earlier in the day?  Why didn't you vote for anyone earlier in the day?
Do I have to always be voting? I would rather be not voting and then put my votes down later in the day. I didn't vote for anyone earlier in the day because none of the positions on early D2 were any good. Once I found a postion/case that I liked I voted there. I would rather wait till tomorrow to aggressively vote/go after someone until tomorrow when I have been able to see another NK/flip and see if they fit into my theory.

I mayyyybe will be here at the deadline.

Although right now I'd prefer a Jake/Jimmmmm lynch. Most likely traitors for me now, I do think LL traitor is slightly less likely.
So let me get this strait, you think I'm the traitor because I'm new. That could be said for at least half of the people in this game. If that's not why then why?

I don't think I've ever seen Jake hesitate to vote like this. I think this might be a sign of scum (traitor specifically) not wanting to end up hitting scum with a lynch, so he doesn't want to actually vote. The D1 shot of WW (which seems to be generally agreed to have come from new and/or unengaged traitor) and this newfound resistance to voting makes me suspicious. If there's no way an LL lynch is going to happen, I could talk myself into going for Jake.

This accurately describes my feelings.
Of course it does. Are you having a fun time moving from whatever wagon pops up to the next and not having any personal opinions?

I also think it's because you seem like you'd be willing to take the risk. Most of the experienced players would think that using the vig shot N1 is too dangerous, coz it could backfire. Like it did. If traitor hadn't used it, we'd have been in some deep shit right now.
Why would I take the risk? Look at my past games. I never use my shots for any role on D1 when I have a limited amount of them. I already made a super long post about why and how I wouldn't use the shot N1 yet you just seem to ignore that.

I mayyyybe will be here at the deadline.

Lol. Have you like read the thread?  I think I have more than half the posts today!  It is full of my personal opinions, and it's not like I've been jumping from wagon to wagon.

Can you show any evidence that this is the case?  Where else have you seen this behavior from me?
First you went really hard on LL but know you don't even talk about him any more. As soon as Joseph said that he thought I was the traitor you say "oh yeah That's how I feel" even though you never even hinted at that opinion before.

Also could you find where I stopped voting for LaLight?  Could you quote it for me?  With the amount of information we have, there isn't much more to talk about with LaLight, unless you want to add some of your own insights.
I already said I found his flailing after being pressured mildly scummy but much of the early reasoning quite towny. I will not be around on the deadline unfortunately. 3:30 is just to late to stay up. I think right now my most preferred lynch would be LL but I could also be open to you or Joseph.

I'm not going to formally quote here so I'll just give post numbers.

Post 287 was really scummy to me from LL because he misrepresents awaclus there by saying he tunneled him. (False) Then 288 dylan points this out and in 289 LL quickly trys to defend his statement.

At 298 he says that the whole case on him is because "let's lynch LL he's bad town" when pressured by dylan. I find that scummy.

293 is a extremely scummy post. I encourage you to reread the post if you haven't.

327 is scummy. Choosing to not defend yourself is scummy. These are some examples but if you want more I can provide them.

RVS is partly fun, but you should always be trying to catch scum. But to further gkrieg's point, then why don't you immediately unvote after RVS? If RVS votes are fun votes, why leave your fun, not serious vote on someone once other people are placing serious votes?

And why have you been so cautious voting this game, but you haven't been cautious voting in your previous town games?
Because to me voting without a strong belief in ones scummyness is more so a false vote because it does not accurately reflect your feelings. That's why I waited to vote LL until I felt more confident about his scumminness.

Also, this doesn't answer why you did not play like this in other games.  The implication of your logic is that in all your previous town games, you a) always felt strongly about people being scum (often changing dramatically over very short periods of time) or b) you were voting in such a way as to not accurately reflect your feelings.

Of the two, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that it was "a," but then suggest that even in your most recent town games--ones in which people commented on your improvement as a player and your new/quieter town self--you weren't actually concerned with making sure that you were certain before you voted. So it would seem you are inventing reasons for your voting behavior which don't actually reflect how you really play as town.

So Jake has a pretty clear arc on reading LaLight D2. 
@Jake why did LaLight go from notIC (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg690962#msg690962) -> pretty townie (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg691683#msg691683) -> "getting more scummy, I'm beginning to doubt my town read" (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg691860#msg691860) -> "I prefer to lynch LaLight" (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg692134#msg692134)

You haven't really given very many reasons, except that you felt that he was "flailing", which is a weak reason and as you said "scum base their cases on weak reasoning" (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17194.msg691683#msg691683)
I'm not going to formally quote here so I'll just give post numbers.

Post 287 was really scummy to me from LL because he misrepresents awaclus there by saying he tunneled him. (False) Then 288 dylan points this out and in 289 LL quickly trys to defend his statement.

Also, Awa tunneled me for 2ish posts and gave up. That's not him. The only time i remember when Awaclus was nice and cool was British Bonkers. I am not doing the same mistake again.

Also, Awa tunneled me for 2ish posts and gave up. That's not him. The only time i remember when Awaclus was nice and cool was British Bonkers. I am not doing the same mistake again.

That's because he was tunneling the crap out of me that game

Also, is it really tunneling if it was only 2 posts?

At 298 he says that the whole case on him is because "let's lynch LL he's bad town" when pressured by dylan. I find that scummy.

Antitown along with bad town play =/= scum

But, you could argue lynching antitown and bad town play actually gives a net positive for town in some situations.

That's true. But you should be open for searching scum along with it, not just "let's lynch LL, he's bad town player"

293 is a extremely scummy post. I encourage you to reread the post if you haven't.

Awaclus is strangely explanative. Gkrieg is fitting his "gkrieg's scum meta in LL head" perfectly.

Guys, let's lynch gk, plz. Especially if he's alive next day.

Also, Awa tunneled me for 2ish posts and gave up. That's not him. The only time i remember when Awaclus was nice and cool was British Bonkers. I am not doing the same mistake again.

Oh yeah, I'm super explanative. I've explained...


Almost forgot this one:


In other news, these are apparently "2ish posts":

Vote: LaLight

Vote: LaLight

What antitown thing did I do this time?

What antitown thing did you not do this time?

Do you want a list?

Sure.

So you admit that you have done all the other anti-town things.

Funny fact: i do like your play when I am town

I guess that means you don't like it here.

Funny fact: i do like your play when I am town

I guess that means you don't like it here.

Seriously, why this time?

Why what?

Do you think I am scum or Traitor?

Yes.

I scumread everyone on my wagon

Ok.

And still voting for LL is apparently "gave up".

I honestly forgot most of this marvellous stuff.
Awaclus, if you're town, don't you think you're biased on me? Will you reconsider if I flip town?

327 is scummy. Choosing to not defend yourself is scummy. These are some examples but if you want more I can provide them.

I just don't see any arguments from which I should defend

Ok. I really believe the scum is LL and the traitor is Jake.  The reasoning and evidence for LL being the normal scum has been thoroughly documented, so I won't repeat everything that has already been said multiple times.


Jake as the traitor makes sense because (not all original thoughts, I'm just compiling the cases into one):

- Inexperienced traitor = more likely to shoot
- After using shot and killing one mafia, traitor would probably be careful about lynching their potential partner (therefore not voting aggressively)
- Jake is clearly not playing like his recent, vastly improved town self (and 200% different than original, brand-new-to-the-forum Jake)
- Traitor would be hesitant to join a wagon on the person with the strongest case for being the other scum
---- Unless they needed some way to survive and possibly get towncred in order to avoid being lynched

Having re-read some more, I'm just not feeling the LL wagon :-( I'd very much like Dylan to summarize his case, with reference to actual posts and stuff.

I don't really want to hammer unless someone else can convince me that the lynch is unavoidable given timezones, and that it's really better to lynch someone who may well be town than to no-lynch, given that we've actually got an even number of players alive at the moment anyway.

Gkrieg, since you seem to be the biggest supporter of the LL wagon currently present, could you step up and do the summary I'd asked Dylan for?

I'd wanted it from Dylan himself because I don't really like the way he's implying that there's more evidence than I think there is out there, especially because he'd implied that he wasn't going to share his big piece of 100%-confident evidence with the rest of us. However, I'm super-sleepy now, so I'll settle for other answers...

I didn't say I know LL is scum 100% confidence, but I did say I wouldn't share exactly what it is. I do have reasons for not wanting to say what it was. But if I have to say something: I think I noticed something super subtle in someone's posts that would point to that person possibly knowing 100% that LL is scum. However, I absolutely could be wrong about that (I admitted that in the original post), and if LL dies and flips town I will reveal who/what and probably want to lynch that person.

And as for a summary post, unfortunately I am going to defer to gkrieg, because it is one of my best friend's last night in town and I probably won't see him again for who knows how long after tonight and we are leaving now and probably won't be back to a computer before Europeans go to sleep.  But the gist of it is, I just really think his wagon thing was the single scummiest thing that has actually happened, followed closely by Jake's resistance to voting.  If people go to bed and prefer a Jake lynch to an LL one, I will be online later tonight to hammer if needed on that before the deadline.

Post by: SpaceAnemone on May 05, 2017, 08:03:25 pm
@Dylan, well that is more confusing than I expected. How does that even work? The only person who should know that anyone else is definitively scum is the other scum, and one of them has already flipped. The other person who might have strong evidence is the watcher, if they were lucky with N1's target. However, the fact you want to lynch the person makes it seem like that's not the kind of line you're thinking along.

Do I have to spell it out? I think I might have figured out who the watcher is based on very very subtle details that I somewhat doubt are actually a thing, but if I'm right, the watcher caught scum and is waiting to try to catch the other before claiming. I don't know if the Watcher would do that or if they would go ahead and sacrifice themselves to get it down to 1 or not.  It's a stretch, but it's a thing.

It also doesn't help that with 8 people alive, it only takes one town not on the wagon to get a scum lynch through. With Space and Joseph leaving without their votes on significant wagons, it didn't give us very much to get any other lynch through.

I'm going to sleep in about ten minutes, so if the votes are there by then I will hammer, otherwise I'm staying on LaLight.

So only two more votes on Jake to get a lynch (I'll be the third)

Not that I like the Jake wagon a lot more than the Dylan one, really. At least I believe some of the evidence in his case though, much as I want this sensible restrained Jake to be a town one.

It's posts like this, were the person's point is pretty unambiguous, but you take exception and try to misrepresent or argue it that just seems scummier to me this game than previous ones, but I just now was able to put my finger on what it was :(

Also, Awa tunneled me for 2ish posts and gave up. That's not him. The only time i remember when Awaclus was nice and cool was British Bonkers. I am not doing the same mistake again.

Misrepresenting Awaclus

Antitown along with bad town play =/= scum

But, you could argue lynching antitown and bad town play actually gives a net positive for town in some situations.

That's true. But you should be open for searching scum along with it, not just "let's lynch LL, he's bad town player"

I wasn't saying lynch LL because he is bad town, I was (am) saying lynch LL because he is scummy.

I feel like there was an interaction between you and gkrieg that seemed similar earlier, but I didn't see it just now.

I am sorry, I don't think I can find relevant quotes. But overall, it's because he plays his game where he is widely townread because he seems dominant in discussion pushing the town forward, when the truth is that he doesn't do anything particularly townie.

schadd and faust decided to take a walk to the cafeteria for some fresh air. schadd got himself a large coffee and a bagel, while faust took a weird German energy drink.

"I still think we could prove the first part of the theorem by contradiction. But somehow the proof always fails; I'm just not getting there. See..."

faust took a pen and scribbled some lines on a napkin.

"wait." schadd said. "we are assuming a compact set, no? then we can use this to get a finite covering."

"Of course! How did I miss that?"


JaketheBaseballGod22 has been lynched! They were an overlooked condition, the Mafia Roleblocker!

Night 2 begins now and ends May 7 at 5 pm forum time.
Title: Re: M99: Mathia (Night 2)
Post by: schadd on May 07, 2017, 09:06:46 pm
after the two of them had been thinking to themselves for several minutes, schadd says something one could only assume was an attempt to break the silence.

"okay. assume there exists some way to find the maclaurin expansion of this set. it would follow that the set you were looking for would inductively have the same cardinality as that expansion?"

"Uh. As we've talked about in the past, making assumptions that are provably impossible is surely bad practice even if it has somehow gotten you results. While you seem to continue to be in defense of doing that, I think it's fair to say you probably shouldn't use inductive reasoning on your impossible assumptions."

"gah. so induction is out of the picture too, then?"

"well, no, i'm just saying that you shouldn-"

SpaceAnemone has been killed! They were induction, a Vanilla Townie!

Although, to be clear up front, that was the thing I was referring to on D1, because I thought Awaclus's surety on LL meant he knew for a fact it actually was LL. In retrospect, acting completely sure is something I've seen scum!Awaclus do, so I should have thought through that better.

"what if", schadd pondered, "the problem at hand here is actually undecidable?"

"Oh come on. You know that's only something people say when they cannot manage a proof or counterexample."

faust turned to his laptop and hammered in something. Then it suddenly all became clear.

"I knew getting that wolframalpha professional account would finally pay off! Look here", and he turned the screen to schadd.


Awaclus has been lynched! They were Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, the 1-shot Vigilante Traitor.

I still think shooting at random N1 was absolutely correct. There was only a 2/9 chance of hitting scum and a 6/9 chance of hitting town, it was the only way to guarantee that I could shoot at all before getting lynched or converted into real scum, and the longer the game went on, the higher would be the chance of the Watcher catching me and/or the scum team targeting the same townie. Like, I knew from the moment I got my role PM that I would be shooting N1 for sure.

Although I was also prepared to get more heat for the quickhammer, but I really didn't have any idea how it would turn out. That's also partially why I wanted to try it out, but ultimately I also thought that even if I just managed to mislynch a PR and shoot a townie before getting lynched D2, that would still be pretty okay since I was only the traitor and then the real scum team would be in a 2 vs 5 situation with no real wagon analysis possibilities to help town. Unfortunately, it worked out even worse than that.

Well, I guess so, but your reasoning was wrong though. The quote fail itself was perfectly realistic; people make that kind of a quote fail sometimes and I have also made quote fails in the past. What could have given it away though was that I had to force myself to actually say something about the quotes and I didn't really have anything to say so that whole post didn't make a lot of sense.

Well, the quote fail is realistic; it's still more likely to come from scum. Town and scum both have the same chance of a "real" fail, but scum has the additional incentive to fake it. So P(quotefail happens | poster is scum) > P(quotefail happens | poster is town).

Are you saying that my joining of a wagon was influenced by Jake's vote?  That's not the case at all.  Also, I was gone for most of Day 1, and in particular for the lynch.

I usually don't take note of where my partners are voting when I vote as scum.

Well I was confused because I thought Jake was traitor.....

I'd already said that I didn't think the traitor shooting N1 was as newbie a thing as you guys were implying, specifically because of the reasons Awaclus has now confirmed :-)

Though I'm also sad to find out that my "last straw" of info pointing to Jake wasn't as informative as I gave it credit for.

PoE was really hard for town with Jimmmmm so absent, though I'm glad he pulled through for us in the end! :-) Presumably he watched me last night and saw the kill? I was actually kind of excited to wake up this morning and not have a PM telling me I'm dead and pointing me to the speccy... but that excitement was a short-lived :-P

I kinda feel bad for the scum team this game. WW gets shot by his teammate, Jake is quicklynched at the last minute and then Awaclus is caught by night actions.

Me too plus I couldn't even defend myself. I was literally about to break my laptop when Joseph kept calling me the traitor because my goal for the rest of the game was to lynch the traitor. I actually thought the traitor was gkrieg which made me even more frustrated that he lead the lynch on me.

Well, the quote fail is realistic; it's still more likely to come from scum. Town and scum both have the same chance of a "real" fail, but scum has the additional incentive to fake it. So P(quotefail happens | poster is scum) > P(quotefail happens | poster is town).

I'll probably find a way to intentionally quotefail as town some day.

I'm expert at doing this. Correct outcome based on completely wrong information.

I was right that we should lynch Jake though, albeit for all the wrong reasons

Hmm... your mod QT disagrees with my probabilities over role sets, in that you have fewer allowed configurations than me. Maybe I'll have to re-check mine now. I'm sad nobody else wanted to play numbers with me. Where's Calamitas when you need him? :-P

Although I was also prepared to get more heat for the quickhammer, but I really didn't have any idea how it would turn out. That's also partially why I wanted to try it out, but ultimately I also thought that even if I just managed to mislynch a PR and shoot a townie before getting lynched D2, that would still be pretty okay since I was only the traitor and then the real scum team would be in a 2 vs 5 situation with no real wagon analysis possibilities to help town. Unfortunately, it worked out even worse than that.

Was it intentional quote fail D1?

Yeah.

Knew that! Also I was scumreading you pretty all the game, but then gkrieg seemed to be more scummy.

Sorry for all the tunneling. I felt like we needed to do something because of the short day

At least one of my "I will only lynch one of these two players"was right.

My goal this game was to end every day voting for scum, and I accomplished it somehow, so I feel good about myself.

In terms of MVP (and looking at the musings in the mod QT), I'd pick LL over Jimmmmm by a clear margin, because LL was consistently towny and present through the whole game, whereas Jimmmmm was rather harmfully absent, and then his targeting of me wasn't all that unlikely, given that I'd just had a strong D2. [M92 is good precedent for that: faust got the MVP for strong reads, my Detective use to get us the last scum and a flawless victory did not].

In spite of being merely a "possibly Space" afterthought, I think this could be my best town game yet :-) Maybe I was a little too nitpicky about everyone else's weird arguments, but I was on/off the right lynches at the ends of the days, didn't fall into any bizarre paranoid conspiracy theories, and I was right to stick to my guns on on refusing to hammer LL, especially since most of the evidence against him apparently stemmed from Awaclus's behaviour! I feel like LL and I both came at this prepared to be very townie, given the awful scum game we had over in NM10 :-P We should keep being town together, LL! :-)

I don't know if anyone on town deserves an MVP frankly lol.  That was a win that town fell into in spite of themselves. The reasoning for seeing Jake scummy as presented by basically everyone was wrong (but ended correctly).  We avoided lynching LL because we only had votes awake to lynch Jake instead (for flawed reasons, apparently).  I don't think most of the arguments Space called out were inherently bad, they just happened to be wrong.  I might have to give it to the Watcher by default for guessing that Space would be the target if I had a say.

It's hard because every MVP candidate has something about them that is a reason why they shouldn't be MVP :)

You could also say that I was the most valuable player for town. After all, I successfully NK'd scum and played a key part in catching another scum later on.

I agree.
LL managing to not get himself lynched when it seemed inevitable was a turning point in the game.

I'd say normally losing faction MVPs have been given for extraordinary play towards their own wincon, not for others.

Otherwise it becomes easy to ensure many MVP awards trivially by losing on purpose.

I wasn't MVP in liopoil's game even though my thoroughly pro-town plan on D1 assured and guaranteed my scum team loss.  The award doesn't work that way.

Awaclus was the biggest town player, but he can't get MVP obviously.
