This game will use the mafiascum Switch setup (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Switch_(Setup)), with a few adjustments. This game will start in D1, rather than starting in N0. To adjust for this, there is one fewer Vanilla town.
The setup will include the following players:
1 Mafia Cop Switch
1 Mafia Doctor Switch
1 Mafia Vigilante Switch
1 Serial Killer
1 Town-aligned Cop
1 Town-aligned Doctor
1 Town-aligned Vigilante
6 Vanilla Townies
Switch Mechanic:
There are 3 switches in this game: A cop switch, a doctor switch, and a vigilante switch. During each night, the mafia cop switch may press the cop switch, the mafia doctor switch may press the doctor switch, and the mafia vigilante switch may press the vigilante switch. The serial killer may press any of 0-3 switches.
If a switch is pressed once (by either a mafia member or the serial killer), the corresponding town member is roleblocked. If a switch is pressed twice (by both mafia and serial killer), then the corresponding town member is not roleblocked.
Additional Rules:
1) Mafia members may either perform their factional kill or press their switch, but not both.
2) The Serial Killer may perform a nightkill and press any number of switches in the same night.
3) Pregame, the Serial Killer must choose a power. He may either be immune to the Mafia Nightkill, or be immune to the town Vig/Cop. If the SK chooses cop immunity, he will return "Town" to the cop.
4) The cop receives the results "Town", "Anti-Town", "No Result".
Stalemates/Ties:
In the case of a no lynch/no kill stalemate, then Mafia/the SK must perform a night kill to break the stalemate. In the case of three straight no lynch/no kills, the town will win the game.
If there are two players remaining, one mafia and one SK, and the SK is not immune to mafia kills, the game will end in a joint win for mafia and the SK.

I've played Mafia before, but it was with a god awful group. I have also played Wereweolves of Miller's Hallow, so I might be okay. Could you direct me to a place that would show me what the roles do though?
Thanks.

The setup states there would be one VT less than in the original setup, but actually the original setup has 2 VTs more than this version.

http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Category:Roles_Main_Page is a good start.
This game actually uses pretty simple roles. The switch mechanic is unique and potentially complex, but in terms of roles, the game is simple.
Cop: Each night, PMs the moderator a player name. If the player is town, they receive "Town". If the player is SK or mafia, they receive "Not town" (unless the SK chose cop immunity pre-game). If the cop were roleblocked by the switches, they receive "No result".
Doctor: Each night, PMs the moderator a player name. If that player is targeted by a night kill (Mafia, SK, or Vigilante), they do not die.
Vigilante: Each night, PMs the moderator a player name. That player is killed.
Note that all of these roles aren't compulsory, so the player can choose to take no action.

Oh, weird. I was going off of Switch mafia 1, which had 13 players, but the mafiascum article does have 14 players. Let me think about what's most balanced.

If people dont mind another newbie joining, I can /in.
Been reading many of the recent games so hopefully wont be godawful.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun. What is a factorial kill? Can the Cop Switch kill someone if they are not switching the cop off?

Each night, the mafia has a factional kill. Any of the mafia members can choose a player to die. Any of the members can perform this kill, but that player cannot operate their switch if they perform the kill.
The Serial Killer also has a "factional" kill, which operates similarly to the mafia kill. He can use his kill and also operate switches, however.

Oh, boy. For the sake of either side winning, I hope I end up as a Vanilla Townie.

Factorial kills are rough :(
Alternatively, kill! Depending in which direction you want to take this. It's like a choose your own adventure.

I guess I'll /in

this is fill/ing rather fast

I think 13 is more balanced than 12, especially given there's a potential 3 NKs a night. Going to switch this from 12 to 13 players unless anyone vehemently protests, but I think it's the most balanced.
-
I really want to play but at the same time need to stay committed to the one game policy I currently have in place. So if I am dead in the other game i am in I would absolutely love to play. if not then feel free to give my spot up.
Didn't realize the game would be opening/starting so soon!

It may be awhile, we still have one game in queue in front of us

what have you done with IG :'(

Assuming this doesn't start until GOP mafia is a (game) day or so in, then
/in.
-
TA thinks this will start during Day2 of faust's game, so I'll /in I think the other game I am in will either be at a point where I am dead or has less of a posting volume.
-
If someone wants to play right now, you should signup for GOP mafia! this will start afterwards.
-

OK, that's 13. Still need to wait for GOP mafia.

We'll open once GOP mafia goes into N1.

/tag

Where is my PM?
-
I guess technically GOP isn't in N1. Okay, I'll wait another 10 hours.
-
Sending out PMs tonight.
-
Going to need a replacement for UoS before this starts. Let me know if you're interested in taking that spot.
-
I was going to say I could replace him, then I realized that I was already in. :-\
-
Is it just the UoS replacement holding us up? Sad face. C'mon, people, roll up!
-
Yup, need one more before PMs are out
-
I will Hydra!
-
Or, reverse Hydra.
-
I will Hydra!
But Hydrad is already in the game...
-
You could say, someone has already Hydra'd.

woo game time.

Woo.
Can I propose we don't talk about the switches, so scum have less chance of coordinating?
-
Oh yeah!
So what'd I miss while I was away? I'm not familiar with roadrunner or haddock I don't think...Good to see some fresh faces though!
Also my life = Chemistry right now. I have a fair amount of time on the weekends but normally won't be able to post almost anything on Wednesdays.
-
Woo.

I'm fine with that, but I'm not the strongest in the theories.
And how about a vote: faust for impersonating silverspawn.
I'm in a game again! Weee!
did anyone miss me?
-
vote: IG for not going to bed like the rest of us.
-
But it's only 7:30. Please can I stay up?

Never. I'm a senior in biochemistry right now so I understand your pain.

elo. as I noted in VLA I am semi-VLA
two new players: haddock and roadrunner, could you both state your time zone if you are comfortable with that. It just helps to know when to approximately expect you to be online (if you are Europe or Australia or something your posting patterns will be pretty different from US... or if you are nocturnal).

Woot.
Obligatory I am a mason post.

Vote: silverspawn, he's obviously scum.

Also, about the setup:
yuma and I might be the only players left alive on f.ds that played this the first time it was run here (or was yuma the mod?). I was scum there and from what I recall, the switches made zero difference. We lost because of claims, but had a nice run with first-timer Qvist taking the first-ever MVP for a losing side.
All this to say: the switches mean poop. PRs play like PRs play.
-
It's also trivial to figure out what's optimal as far as switches go from a theory standpoint, so unless scum don't think things through, we already know what they'll do.
But, I mean, regardless of the existence of a doctor switch, for example, why wouldn't the doctor target someone anyway? That's what I mean by the switches are poop.
-
hi everyone

Sure. I'm GMT, but something of a night owl, meaning that most of my posts will probably be mid/late-afternoon forum-time.
vote: Faust for sleeping. Lurking is scummy!
:O Inconsistent, I did the same and you didn't vote for me! Scummmmmm!
On a note no more serious than that, I have a mild hangover this morning, so vote: IG for having a name with alcohol in it.

When you two are scum together, it'll be neat to see if you can fake it.

You having "told everyone not to talk" about anything is a great reason to talk about it, given you are likely to be scum.
You even made a "just in case I'm scum I'm announcing a meta change pre-game" post.
Also, talking about the setup helps us get out of RVS, which is stupid. I'm also the only player here that's ever played the setup, and as scum no less, so maybe what I have to say is relevant. And most relevant is: the switches are poop.
TLDR: Basically, I don't care what you said. I don't take orders from you. Switches = poop.

No, you don't really agree. You are being facetious.

I honestly don't know if you're joking. I assume you are, but nonetheless, all you have done here is name the 4 people who had been voted for at all at that point. And they have all been voted for on the back of just Random/jokey reasons. Seems a bit suspicious, you're just pushing the "wagons" without any reasoning. Same is true of Ashersky of course, naming IG/Faust/SS as possible. But you started it. vote:Awaclus

I actually do find ashersky's post scummy though, for reasons which I can't explain but should be apparent.
vote: ashersky
@Haddock: you should leave a whitespace in between the colon and the first letter. will probably count anyway, but it might not.

Which specific ash post do you find scummy? There have been many.

Then again you don't want to explain, so if pointing out specific posts is too much like explaining, dont worry, ill figure out what you mean hopefully.

I did not name the 4 people who had been voted for, I named the person I was quoting and the two people he mentioned in the post I was quoting. And silverspawn, because he was scum in Futuramafia.

No the switches were meaningless because we lynched galz, the sk, day1 on a derphammer by me and I barely survived getting lynched on day2 for it... So the mafia just permanently left the switches in their favor and all prs were useless, or something like that...

That's a phenomenal post, and possibly the best one in the game up to this point.
You are just salty because you don't like me, my plans, and the fact that I win regardless of your opinion.
-
And they have all been voted for on the back of just Random/jokey reasons.
To be fair, Jimmmmm is voting me because I didn't listen to his totalitarian instructions. That's not "random/jokey" at all.
Faust is just sheeping Jimmmmm, which isn't "random/jokey" in that Faust could easily be partners with Jimmmmm.
SS's reasons I just posted, and are not random or jokey.
Who else voted me?

2. This post is way, way, way off tone for you, Awaclus.
No it's not. Vote: ashersky
Ah, yes. We just disagree, I guess.
I think I'd have the backing of every player on f.ds when I say that you are generally abrasive, combative, and functionally ignore all modicum of respect for your fellow posters when you post (but in a good way).
The post I said was out of character for you was rational, thoughtful, and respectful. Ergo, it was striking to me because it didn't sound like you at all. I'd say the possibility that someone hacked your account and was posting in your place could not be ignored.
You're still not you, btw. Not sure what happened.
-
Also, I used reasoning.
Ok, so it looked to me like:
-Ash makes jokey comment.
-You make a joke back, which just happens to mention the current votes as potential scum.
Which looked dodgy. But you're now saying that step two was a genuine piece of reasoning by you. In which case, fair enough, I guess. Even if im not really sure I agree with the reasoning. In any case your response is good enough for me for now. unvote.
PPE. I dont get it, Ash and Jimm, you both seem to be saying the same thing Re the switches, namely "we cant do anything about them so why worry?" which is also my viewpoint.
PPE again. Ok but only awa could be claimed to have maybe legitimate reasons (see above). I mean you could be scum, but lets face it right now verything is basically RVS still.

Well, I can see how it would look like a joke, since I also made the "silverspawn is always scum because of Futuramafia" joke in the same post, but I did think that ash's comment about IG and faust was worth noting and then the way he responded to that made me actually want to vote for him.

2. This post is way, way, way off tone for you, Awaclus.
No it's not. Vote: ashersky
Ah, yes. We just disagree, I guess.
I think I'd have the backing of every player on f.ds when I say that you are generally abrasive, combative, and functionally ignore all modicum of respect for your fellow posters when you post (but in a good way).
The post I said was out of character for you was rational, thoughtful, and respectful. Ergo, it was striking to me because it didn't sound like you at all. I'd say the possibility that someone hacked your account and was posting in your place could not be ignored.
You're still not you, btw. Not sure what happened.
It was exactly like the posts I usually make. Perhaps it felt more rational to you because this time you know it's true.

It's also trivial to figure out what's optimal as far as switches go from a theory standpoint, so unless scum don't think things through, we already know what they'll do.
But, I mean, regardless of the existence of a doctor switch, for example, why wouldn't the doctor target someone anyway? That's what I mean by the switches are poop.

Calling it now, the scum team is IG, faust, ashersky. And silverspawn.
I honestly don't know if you're joking. I assume you are, but nonetheless, all you have done here is name the 4 people who had been voted for at all at that point. And they have all been voted for on the back of just Random/jokey reasons. Seems a bit suspicious, you're just pushing the "wagons" without any reasoning. Same is true of Ashersky of course, naming IG/Faust/SS as possible. But you started it. vote:Awaclus
This strikes me as not scummy.

I actually do find ashersky's post scummy though, for reasons which I can't explain but should be apparent.
Brilliant!

You could have said the opposite and gotten the same response.

Also, I used reasoning.
Ok, so it looked to me like:
-Ash makes jokey comment.
-You make a joke back, which just happens to mention the current votes as potential scum.
Which looked dodgy. But you're now saying that step two was a genuine piece of reasoning by you. In which case, fair enough, I guess. Even if im not really sure I agree with the reasoning. In any case your response is good enough for me for now. unvote.

I already told everyone not to talk about the switches. Explaining why they're trivial is talking about them.
You having "told everyone not to talk" about anything is a great reason to talk about it, given you are likely to be scum.
No, it's not.
You even made a "just in case I'm scum I'm announcing a meta change pre-game" post.
What's your point?
Also, talking about the setup helps us get out of RVS, which is stupid. I'm also the only player here that's ever played the setup, and as scum no less, so maybe what I have to say is relevant. And most relevant is: the switches are poop.
I agree that talking about the setup helps get us out of RVS, so it's unfortunate that talking about the setup is pro-scum.
TLDR: Basically, I don't care what you said. I don't take orders from you. Switches = poop.
I wasn't saying you should have done what I said. I'm saying we were basically saying the same thing (don't worry about switches), but at the same time you were worrying about switches.
PPE 37 (I went away and came back to this post.)
-
Also, about the setup:
yuma and I might be the only players left alive on f.ds that played this the first time it was run here (or was yuma the mod?). I was scum there and from what I recall, the switches made zero difference. We lost because of claims, but had a nice run with first-timer Qvist taking the first-ever MVP for a losing side.
All this to say: the switches mean poop. PRs play like PRs play.
No the switches were meaningless because we lynched galz, the sk, day1 on a derphammer by me and I barely survived getting lynched on day2 for it... So the mafia just permanently left the switches in their favor and all prs were useless, or something like that...
Hey look, someone else talking about the switches, and being generally useful.
Boo Jimmmmm.
How does it help us lynch scum?
-
And they have all been voted for on the back of just Random/jokey reasons.
To be fair, Jimmmmm is voting me because I didn't listen to his totalitarian instructions. That's not "random/jokey" at all.
This is false.
-
I wasn't saying you should have done what I said. I'm saying we were basically saying the same thing (don't worry about switches), but at the same time you were worrying about switches.
This wasn't my takeaway from your post and our conversation. So that's a misunderstanding on my part, I guess. I thought you were saying "shhh...don't take about the setup or bad things will happen..."
If you had said "don't worry about the switches" that would have been super clear and great and easy. Because, as noted, the switches are basically poop.
So, if we're in agreement, I rescind my other stuff about you.

I view this post as one of three possibilities.
1. New player (Is Haddock new to Mafia in general?) being concerned about something that's actually not concerning.
2. Scum defending their partner in a pretty blatant fashion.
3. Scum attempting to reinforce suspicion on someone else by trying to get votes off of them for no reason.

Yes, this is my first ever game of forum mafia. Im not sure im concerned, as such, I just want people on faust to contribute, since they're on the biggest wagon.
I did say im not convinced by the ash thing, so yeah if that comes back ill have something to say. The difference is that the people who were on Ash were still actively contributing.

How does it help us lynch scum?
it might in the future. I think putting a moratorium on a certain subject isn't just a great idea. Jimmmm seems to think that if we allow talking about "switches" then scum will be able to communicate with the SK and co-ordinate switches. But that is just like.... What? Why has no one questioned this line or reasoning?
Why would mafia want to communicate with a SK? Or SK to the mafia. They aren't on the same team and at some point down the road if one knows about the other they will target and kill each other. So by all means mafia and SK can talk to each other if they want--and at the same time, hopefully the town players here would be able to possibly pick up on said communication.
Jimmmmm attempting to just shove all of that under the rug because he says it is in the best interest of the town is either misguided or scum trying to look pro-town in an easy fashion. in my experience, more talking means more finding scum because it means more opportunities for scum to say something/do something that town can pick up on immediately or at a future date to catch them.
and then using such reasoning to cast easy suspicion...

actually, no. No on all points, even. I don't dislike you - I judge people way more based on their moral standards than on how they treat me - and the reason why the post I quoted is scummy is because there is a narrative for mafia!you to subtly nudge SK!? into thinking more about the setup. I did not want to explain this for reasons which are now obvious but you made me to. which is bad.

I deliberately avoided including you in potential RVS, but I can't not vote for you if you're my biggest scum read, which you were at that point. Not that it means much, because it was super early into day 1.

Well, with some parts I can agree.
The SK and the mafia probably don't want to communicate. But if we were to talk about Switch tactics and reach a universally accepted best tactic, then both mafia and SK can act according to that.
More to the point though, talking about Switches does nothing for us. They do not influence town's decision making in the slightest.
I agree that it's convenient to cast suspicion on that basis though.
Me agreeing with you usually means you're scum though.

Sure. But no one was doing that. No one was saying "Optimal strategy for mafia would be X. Here you go mafia, freebee on me!" No one would do that. It doesn't even need to be stated.
If mafia wants to try and subtly try and communicate with the SK I say let them as I said above. At the worst they can barely understand each other, kinda work with each other for a day 1/2 and then kill each other off. At best town realizes there is some communication going on and lynches them.
but to put a hard fast rule against all communication not only prevents what wasn't ever going to happen in the first place, but also prevents what could have happened in town noticing some subtitles of mafia communicating. It prevented a potential scum hunting opportunity in exchange for Jimmmmm looking good. The only person who benefited from that post was Jimmmmm.
And, yeah forum is slow.
-
See, the idea why it was bad was that SK might have messed up and done something stupid. With everything that happened, now that's impossible. At this point, we might aswell talk about it. Still not good idea, because there is nothing to talk about for town, but the damage has already been done beyond cluttering up the thread.
It would not have happened had everyone listened to Jimmmm immediately, and therefore everyone who didn't is scummy.

I don't follow... I feel like you are saying that based off the communication so far the SK would now have been able to infer an optimal play strategy that they might not have previously been able to do? I don't follow where that could come from... I don't see any post that said or even alluded to "this play strategy is better"
You are basically saying "the chance that mafia/SK might learn how to play better from us just discussing whether we should discuss this is worth a trade off for scum hunting opportunities"
that is like saying hoping osmosis would fulfill the need to drink water.

I am making sense! Scum hunting opportunities are worth trading for any intangible and unlikely benefit the SK/Mafia might incur from obtaining those opportunities--plus the chance that SK and mafia will just kill themselves off for us.

I completely disagree. You really think someone got massive advantages from what we just talked about above. yes someone, like you, could theoretically spell out the perfect play for mafia/SK in this scenario, but no one was ever going to do that. And yeah, we will now scum hunt using other methods and that is fine, but it was a missed opportunity to see if someone would do something (try and communicate with SK or slightly manipulate how switches would work) that we could have used either immediately or later after getting some flips. now that opportunity is lost because any scum that thought "maybe I could try this" is know aware that we are on high alert and will be voted for just saying the word switch

Well it's true that literally none of the 4 faust votes had any substance. I'd say the concern is still definitely worth noting though.

Well that's subjective. The faust votes were over sleeping, OMGUS, impersonating ss and enjoying himself.

The faust votes were over sleeping
First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down.

Witherweaver - definitely town because he said so (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=13958.msg531854#msg531854).
Roadrunner7671 - only empty posts. Not posting for a while, but suddenly around when called out on it. Scummy.
Ashersky - a little less reasonable-, kinda in-the-background-ash from fanfiction and a little more usual ash who doesn't care what other people think. Slight town.
gkrieg13 - has gkrieg done anything yet? Null.
Haddock - his defending me is a bit weird. White knighting? Slight scum.
Awaclus - I can't read that guy anyway. Null.
Silverspawn - what he does feels genuine. Town.
Hydrad - Null. Did not have a Hydrad moment yet.
Ichimaru Gin - null. Not enough information so far.
Jimmmmm - yuma has a point. Slight scum.
Yuma - not sure yet. Null.

I suggest you start with Haddock. Then, if he's scum, you can lynch me for being his partner. And if he's town, you can lynch me for pushing his mislynch. You win either way!

Scum is everyone who plays against town's win condition. In this game, it would be mafia and the Serial Killer.

What's a claim?
Claim is when you claim something. Usually it means that you tell everyone what your role is, and possibly any other information you might have acquired because of your role (which might be your actual role or something you made up; the latter case is also known as fakeclaiming).

Ah, I see. Then I 'claim' to be a vanilla townie. Even if I am not, you all know I am a total noob. I still don't fully understand the switches, so I'd be pretty bad at being scum.

Usually it's not a good idea to claim to be a vanilla townie out of nowhere, because if you really are a vanilla townie, scum won't kill you and then they have a better chance of killing a PR instead. Actually, it's usually not a good idea to claim most things out of nowhere.
-
Also, it doesn't matter how bad you supposedly would be as scum. If you're scum and you never get lynched because of how bad you would be as scum, then you win anyway.

Actually though, unvote. This does not feel fake.
So for the other newbie then? Vote: Haddock

You know what? It got someone to unvote from me. So, thank you for the advice, but I still claim to be a vanilla townie. Why would I want to get killed by scum? So that PRs can live?

Yes. Pretty much. Also by claiming VT we know that you do not have a town PR, i.e. you are either VT or scum. This makes you a better lynch target than anyone else on paper, because we can be sure not to lynch a PR.
I read you as town from this, but that doesn't make it good play. And for the record: It will never work in the future.

Imagine you were the Doctor and someone else claimed Doctor. You would know they were lying, and counterclaim them to try to get them lynched.
As well as having their powers, PRs also get to be either ICs or create a 1 Town/1 scum pair, either of which are generally good for Town. This only works if we take claims seriously as either truthful or scum.

RR did you read any of the previous games here. I am not saying you have to but I would suggest it. Probably should have suggested it earlier. A short newbie game would be ideal.

This.
Is this RR's first game also?
I actually like a vote: Haddock at this point. Something I hadn't thought of earlier was I can easily see newbie scum trying to get town points for projecting concern about quicklynches or something.
In my first scum (and in general) game, I recall playing up my newbieness to the point of garnering suspicion for it. I legitimately had a lot of questions and felt confused by stuff though, not sure what (if anything) I would have done differently if I'd been town my first game.

Well, I think lying as town can be good quite often (in the same way that omitting information can be good quite often), but if you're lying about having a PR when you don't really have one, you really have to be extremely confident that the person who could counterclaim you will preferably realize what you're doing, and absolutely won't counterclaim or out himself even if he thinks you're scum, and that the gambit will surely pay off if it works (i.e. the PR you manage to protect by attracting the kill to yourself really has to be super crucial for town).
Lying about being a VT when you really are a PR is a lot more reasonable in many situations.

-

Depends on the situation. If you're about to get lynched, you might want to claim a PR, because then the real PR can counterclaim you and your partners will know who to shoot. If you're lucky, you might even manage to claim a PR that nobody can counterclaim, and then that might help you survive. OTOH, sometimes you might convince people of your towniness by fakeclaiming VT as scum, and VT is a pretty safe claim in mass claim situations.

Not really in a scummy way. He just doesn't seem as abrasive. Maybe that means he's town? I was just watching him carefully when we were partners and he always had a plan. He doesn't seem to have a concrete plan here.

OK, lots going on since I disappeared.
Firstly, it appears my original estimate of posting mid-afternoon forum time is going to be off, at least for the next few days, my girlfriend is in town meaning my posting will mostly be happening during the day GMT, ie. early morning forum time. Just so everyone knows.
I want to make one thing clear. At no point did I defend Faust. I made one post about the people voting for Faust, asking them to contribute. Now they are, so I'd say that original post has served its purpose.
As for "playing up my newbieness", I really wouldn't say I've done that. One person asked me whether I was totally new, and I said I am, that's it. And if you're counting my behaviour itself as intentionally acting newbie, well, see previous paragraph.

Catching up:
Witherweaver seems a bit all over the place, like he's acting torn about whether to vote for me or Faust. I dunno, feels genuine.
Ichi seems pretty towny to me.

Robz wanted to lynch a newbie in M10, my first game. We lynched him for it because we thought it was scummy. I was town, so was he.
Since then, we've always given newbies a pass early in the game, and due to that, there's always been a "play up your newbieness" thing for newbie scum.

Ah, I'm not sure I agree. We often give newbie town passes because newbie town does some stuff that is really hard to fake as newbie scum (see: Roadrunner in thsi game). I think we manage to catch newbie scum fairly often. "Playing up newbieness"is often mentioned, but can you point me to a single game where that was a thing?

I think we manage to catch newbie scum fairly often. "Playing up newbieness"is often mentioned, but can you point me to a single game where that was a thing?
I know I did it once, where I had a newish player and we had him play it up. I don't know if it worked, but I rarely lose, so I'll assume it did.
I disagree with you on RR -- all of his "newbie" stuff feels incredibly fake to me. It's just not possible for someone to be this unaware of how mafia works if they've played before, even if only IRL.

I can't remember... Is wanting to lynch newbies a town tell or a scumtell? If I can't remember that probably means it is neither.
But really I think it was a tow tell cause mafia wouldn't want to risk the wrath of town being upset that you would want to lynch a newbie. I think robs came up with that and it turned out it was generally correct.
Robz wanted to lynch a newbie in M10, my first game. We lynched him for it because we thought it was scummy. I was town, so was he.
Since then, we've always given newbies a pass early in the game, and due to that, there's always been a "play up your newbieness" thing for newbie scum.
One could argue that I was 'playing up my noobiness,' but how was I supposed to know that scum does that?
Your partners would have told you to do it.
As fair of a point as that is, I am willing to make another claim:
I am a Vanilla Townie, aka Vanilla Villager, aka the guy who you should not lynch.

This is the least Faust thing that this Faust has ever Fausted.
This.
same question to you: why?

I think town who claimed VT got lynched 3 our of 4 times in f.ds history
the one time where he didn't get lynched was when I did it :D
-
EBWOF: Claimed VT day 1
Though I'm not sure about this stat; it's something I recall people saying.
-
Your case is quite different though, because you supposedly didn't know the dynamics of early claiming and why it's a super bold thing to do. You might not get lynched for it, but I still wouldn't advise doing it in future games.

I think a vote: Hydrad is warranted until he does something that I remember.

Let me tell you a story. We played Mafia with a blonde, overweight, too-American Alaskan woman. This was in Turkey. The cop woke up on the night, pointed at someone, and went to sleep
The pointing had no effect, it was purely symbolic. Many people cheated. I rarely played. The doctor picked someone to save after the Mafia killed someone. There were no switched, nor a SK. So that's my story, what's yours?

But I'm learning the dynamics of the game, which I want to accomplish in this game of Mafia. That's why I joined.

And the mod told me to 'ask any questions I had during the game,' and now I'm getting lynched for that?

asking your questions ≠ claiming VT
the careful course would have been to ask "is claiming a good idea?" upon which everyone would have told you "no" and you would not have claimed

I am doing badly? How? I only have one or two votes against me!
-
Why does it matter if one of the players was overweight? What does "too-American" mean?
Performance in a game is not measured by votes or even surviving.
You are doing "badly" because you are making many, many mistakes. But to me, they are on purpose.

In this setup, probably.
I don't get it.... At the start of day Jimmmmm was all like "Don't talk about stuff to give hints to the mafia on optimal play strategy"
and yet here we are with multiple people blatantly giving optimal play strategy for mafia...
And does Jimmmmm, or anyone else that was going a bit over the top, even bat an eye? No. Because it isn't convenient for him to do so right now.

it was a thing in Samuri 2? Where I was scum with Robz and Ichi. We specifically told Ichi to play up his newbiness, but to do so carefully.... But in general I don't think it is much of a thing, especially after that game where people began to be more aware of players potentially being coached to do it.
-

As the mod of that game I can completely and totally confirm that ash was totally, horribly newb in that game. It was hilarious. But as of yet I don't see why RR is having a worse game than that?
Didn't you not realize that claiming Doctor would have confirmed a lynch on Frisk and then caused a no-lynch that day instead of a lynch on scum?
I haven't seen anything that bad from RR at this point.

Road is town, I'm calling it.

Silverspawn may be the scumerspawn.

Would like to hear from hydrad at some point, but am happy on chairs for now. It's not like chairs has actually said anything more than hydrad.
Y, Y, Y, de-yuma (babadadadadadahhhh), Y, Y, Y, de-yuma?? Now, before....
On the subject of names, Ash, how do you pronounce yours? In my head I alternate between
uh-SHER-skee, and
ASH-er-skye.
-
WW, can you explain what is so suspicious about faust's play? Seems fine to me.
Early on I felt, man Faust has not really done anything, but it was early. Then he got a wagon on him fast and seemingly without reason, which he didn't really react to (or at least he felt particularly absent). It's an early wagon and no reason to think it would result in a lynch, but I think scum is more likely to not say a lot and let it fizzle than town is. Also, it's the kind of thing Faust usually says a lot about. Then possible issues with Haddock. And Faust's reads list, which just feels scummy.
-
We can also always lynch Awaclus, because he is apparently in this game.
-
It's an early wagon and no reason to think it would result in a lynch, but I think scum is more likely to not say a lot and let it fizzle than town is.
so he's town?

Well, there was that, but that was later in the game (like D3, right?). My point is that I made a huge setup based error, but didn't do any of that in the game.
Here, we've had RR asking questions like "what's a claim" and claiming VT multiple times and such. If he's town, he's really fumbling here. And it won't end up with him eventually catching scum!Frisk.
I was never THAT clueless during the game.

This is the kind of thing that new town is much more likely to say than new scum.
Despite the "playing up noobiness" thing, which really has happened only that one time with Ichi, absolutely (and, seemingly genuine) cluelessness is more likely town than scum. Scum, after all, get to talk before the game, and a new player is certainly going to ask questions there. The advice from the scum partners is usually more like "ask a lot of questions, you'll probably get an early pass because you're new", along with some basic strategy, and not like "pretend you were born yesterday".
It's pretty easy to get roped into the "new player is acting so lost that he must have been coached and is faking" thing; it happened with the other new player (Nik) in my first game.
We should lynch outside of Roadrunner, mostly because he's probably town. And if he's not he'll probably be easier to catch later. I'm not too keen on lynching Haddock, either.
-
WW just made a super towny post.
Must be scum.
-
Sounds solid.
-
I for one tend to not like lynching new players on Day1 unless there is an extremely compelling reason to do so. For starters, it just isn't very fun and fun for me has become the biggest part of playing this game. Part of wanting new players to come into games is the hope that they will have fun and stick around and having them just play for a single day before being thrown to the floor isn't a great way to accomplish that.
Maybe I shouldn't put the longterm health of f.ds mafia over this particular day, but I am, unless there is a really, really good reason to do so.
Add to this a lack of meta to read off them often makes them more difficult to read early along with the idea that newer players will be easier to spot the longer they play (this is true of everyone in a sense, but especially true of new players. My first game I played was as scum. I wasn't easy to spot early, but after 3-4 days there was a giant spotlight on me. If the new players are scum, we will probably find them in the next few days...)
So without really good reasons, of which I haven't seen any for either player, I won't be voting for either of the newbies.

Haddock I agree was a bit weird, well, I can do nothing about it, I'm still town. I don't know why my reads list got so much attention; I usually do this... I guess I didn't cross off people? Mostly I cross off people. I just had town reads on some players and thought I could share them. And while doing that I thought I could also try to find out whether I already have some reads on the other players.

I feel like some people need some motivation to contribute... Hydrad, Ichi, gkrieg have been absent.
Out of those, vote: gkrieg because there's no vote on him yet, and I'm a Berlin hipster.

This is the least Faust thing that this Faust has ever Fausted.
This.
Is this RR's first game also?
I actually like a vote: Haddock at this point. Something I hadn't thought of earlier was I can easily see newbie scum trying to get town points for projecting concern about quicklynches or something.
In my first scum (and in general) game, I recall playing up my newbieness to the point of garnering suspicion for it. I legitimately had a lot of questions and felt confused by stuff though, not sure what (if anything) I would have done differently if I'd been town my first game.
Hey! You are not allowed to agree with me.
I'll disagree with you on this so I can agree with you later. ;D
This is the least Faust thing that this Faust has ever Fausted.
This.
same question to you: why?
faust's posts are normally very focused. They all seem to have a purpose (regardless of his alignment) e.g. moving the game forward, scumhunting, some unknown manipulation or plan.
An early reads post with most people being null just seems out of character for him. I recall there was some game I played not too long ago where I really came down hard on someone for making a super early reads post that seemed to serve little purpose. Was it Deleuze, hugo? I can't remember; I'm pretty certain they turned out to be scum that game though. Guess this is what happens when I take a break.

Yeah. I remember that. It worked pretty good for a while--especially I recall Robz helped keep me alive by saying that we shouldn't lynch newbies early on. I do recall getting some suspicion eventually for it though. I agree that I don't think it's a very common strat any more. I was pretty lost in my first game though.

That's legit, but I didn't feel like faust's reads list had no purpose. I might be wrong though, faust has fooled me twice recently (one time was by being town when I thought he was scum, that was nasty of him.)

Ah ok. I missed this when I made my other post. I never really interpreted faust's read list as scummy for him, just different than what I normally see him post.
I've been away for a while though, so maybe people have changed some.
PPEs: I'll never forget that game where faust was the survivor and betrayed us :'(. I knew it would happen but no one would listen.

This conversation has slipped away from me again. I'm not going to vote until real evidence is presented.
you're never going to vote until a cop has a guilty result on someone?
I didn't say proof, I said evidence.
and now you taught me something about the English language!
That said, I doubt that a day-1 lynch will likely be more than, mh, maybe 1,3 times as likely to hit scum as a random lynch?
My statement still stands for now. Vote: no vote.
it's vote: nolynch but I don't think that's a good idea for day 1

Lol thanks. I will, however, listen to you. Why isn't this a good idea?
-
Lol thanks. I will, however, listen to you. Why isn't this a good idea?
well, town's only way to win is to lynch. each lynch, be it on town or on scum, comes with a death of town during the night. You can consider a Nightkill to be a lynch with 0% chance of hitting scum. So, even if your day 1 lynch has 25% chance to hit scum but your day 2 lynch 35%, you'd still get
(0%, 35%, 0%) rather than (25%, 0%) due to no-lynching day 1
at the start of your next day. The latter is preferable.
the other answer is that lynching on day 1 generates information for day 2 which increases the chances for a successful lynch there. It doesn't just magically get better, it gets better because you lynched day 1.
No-lynching day 1 is generally considered to be awful. An exception would only be made for setup reasons.

I could vote for faust... people have said they agreed with me about jimmmm but no actual love there... sad face
vote: faust for being a hipster and for posting a reads list (which I felt was out of character as others have said) and then not using said reads list when voting for gkrieg. Shows that the reads list was just a piece of fluff and basically made up. You know who else makes stuff up?
Obviously, by yuma's standards, once one has posted a reads list, one is not allowed to change his reads for the rest of the game.
-
Hmm. This is my last thought before sleep, but I reckon ill switch to vote: hydrad overnight. He's still not really contributed.
-
So 4 people are voting for me, 2 still from RVS and two because I posted reads. Surely we can do better than that? But I think we need to focus more on the people who have just not contributed.

RR seems to know what OMGUS is, anyway.

Had no idea it had been that long since I'd posted. Had lots of midterms this week so I've just been skimming. It seems like most of the discussion has been around the new guys.

yes you can lie in claims. also saying it in bold does not mean its true.
otherwise you could have everyone claim and then would just be able to lynch scum and win every game.

With a deadline approaching, I think we seriously need to consider lynching someone instead of goofing around. It might be me, but I think we need evidence on the table. I am the only one who has claimed anything (which means it's a poor play), but does anyone have evidence against Faust, me or ashersky?

We have like 9846854684986 days before the deadline, there's no reason to hurry. That said, I have evidence against ashersky (obviously not a PR result though).
-
Okay, advice.
Who do you think is scum? Let me give you some baseline information.
First, Mafia team knows who is on their team, which means their goal is to not get lynched and keep lynches on Town/SK. There is a need a eliminate SK, but it's secondary to staying alive. Maybe this game it's better to find SK early cause of the mechanic; I'm not really sure.
Anyway, staying alive means avoiding suspicion. Avoiding suspicion means making people think you're town, which means making people think you're trying to find Mafia (and other scum, but mainly Mafia). This is necessarily disingenuous because , well, Mafia knows who Mafia is, so it's hard to pretend to look for it.
Disingenuousness is detectable. Look for it.
I don't think it's Ash. Well, it could be, but I'd expect this from town!Ash as well. Probably not SK!Ash because as SK Ash plays more aggreeably and more protown than as town. Maybe I just gave some info away to scum team but hey I could be wrong.
Anyway, think in those terms. Who seems fake/constructed/forced with their posts.
-
Well, shit, Awaclus is town.
Is what I'd say if I was reading his posts. But I promised myself I wouldn't do that any more.

Morgrim was town 90% of the time.
He unfortunately caused town to play badly as town quite often.

OK I'm back very briefly, will be on again properly later.
unvote: Hydrad since he's here now.
I'm not keen to lynch RR, he could be playing this up but I don't think it's particularly likely; if he's scum I trust we'll catch him later.
Chairs, I appreciate your reads list, but you still haven't said huge amounts. Not inherently a problem, but I'd be keen to know, are most of your reads essentially gut reads? I guess everything is pretty much just feeling right now. People who know, is chairs normally fairly terse?
Noone answered my question about how Jimmm tends to act, but a couple of people have read him as mildly scummy. I could get behind that. He seems not to say much but when he says things he's kinda weirdly forceful, almost aggressive. Maybe that's just how Jimm is (I'd expect it of any-alignment Awaclus, for instance).
-
So that my vote is somewhere before I disappear for a few hours, I think I'll put it on Jimmm. Partly a mild scum-feeling coming from him, partly OMGUS.

As to you question for how Jimm usually acts. I just remember he usually is lurky. sometimes he has spurts of activeness though. I don't remember much for how he actually plays though.

Gah. I keep doing that. vote: Jimmmm
-

He's generally authoritative, good at math issues, fairly no nonsense. I think his scum persona is more likely to be "nice" when compared to his town persona, where is he less likely to care what others think or feel.
-
Haddock's messed up vote feels more like "sincere" newbieness than "What does claiming mean" and "I googled OMGUS" does.
But whatever. If no one is with me in lynching a newb...

Not newbieness as such in this case. Just distractedness. I was in a bit of a rush.

Is this the same reasoning you've been sticking with since the beginning, or are you claiming some new point?
OK so I'm happy to go along with people if they say that this is Jimmm's usual meta. I'll switch back to vote: chairs.

For a more detailed case on gkrieg, let me look at all his posts, which shouldn't be too many.
vote: Faust for sleeping. Lurking is scummy!
RVS.
I'm in a game again! Weee!
Unfortunately, like Haddock, I will have to go to bed.
Vote: Roadrunner
What? What are you basing that upon?
Vote: faust
It's RVS (random voting stage).
General helpfulness.
But it's only 7:30. Please can I stay up?
Never. I'm a senior in biochemistry right now so I understand your pain.
Joking.
Ummm ok. Can everyone who voted for faust in like the first fifteen posts or so just come check themselves? Suddenly that wagon is looking a bit massive now, and those early votes were definitely not reason-based, so could probably be changed.
Why are you so worried?
Cos I'd like, eventually, for us to have reasons for lynching somebody. If everyone voting for faust has a reason, then great. Otherwise we have a not-insignificant wagon on somebody, formed by essentially random chance.
Well now I have a reason.
This seems to imply that gkrieg is now voting for me because Haddock defended me.
You're weird defending of him. Especially without defending ash.
Yeah. Voting me for that is bad, because that I am scum only follows from this if you assume Haddock is scum. So Haddock should be your first target. But surely scum prefers to get rid of me.
\inbefore "Coached to play up newbieness"
I can't remember... Is wanting to lynch newbies a town tell or a scumtell? If I can't remember that probably means it is neither.
But really I think it was a tow tell cause mafia wouldn't want to risk the wrath of town being upset that you would want to lynch a newbie. I think robs came up with that and it turned out it was generally correct.
EFHW was against my lynch the first game and that was what made me vig her. I was correct.
Great, an anecdote.
definitely still feeling a Faust lynch. Although ash has been much different this game.
Hedging on both major wagons. Still no better reasoning to vote for me.
What does different mean?
People keep using that term but what does it even mean? Different how? Different in a scummy way?
Not really in a scummy way. He just doesn't seem as abrasive. Maybe that means he's town? I was just watching him carefully when we were partners and he always had a plan. He doesn't seem to have a concrete plan here.
This is like the opposite of taking a stance.
Prod requests on gkrieg and Hydrad

Yuma seems town to me. Faust still seems scummy. Has seems different but maybe not in a scummy way? I don't like the votes on ash so far
Reads without reasoning.
I think one of the new guys is scum but I don't want to lunch them today
Very scummy post.
And that's it. gkrieg has offered nothing to this game, as you can see from the above quotes. Seeing how scum!gkrieg always got lynched early except the one time he claimed Mason, it makes sense that he would be careful not to talk too much.
-
Wait, if he has offered nothing to the game, what have I offered?

You have posted a lot, exposing yourself, given opinions. There's a lot to look at to decide whether you're town or not. True, it would be nice to know more of your reads, but you have participated way more than gkrieg.

Well, I want to know what you think about the other players. How you parse that information is up to you.
-
So people want to vote for awa or gkrieg? I could get behind either of those.
I voted for awa way early on. I was happy with his response to that, but find him unreadable in general and therefore lynchable.
The case against gkrieg seems pretty good, but since it was presented primarily by faust, id like to hear what yuma has to say about faust before I decide between awa and gkrieg.

Ok just finished with my fourth midterm of the week. I should have posted something in the V/LA board. I will get back into this game right now. I'm not really sure why Faust is gunning for me out of the lurkers.

Ash: how do you feel about Jimmmm now?
Ash doesn't seem as calculated as he usually is. Most of his posts seem like he just wrote them and then sent them, instead of rereading them. That leads me to believe that he is town. It definitely reads different to me than last game, where I was watching him closely. Him trying to start something up with ss was handled well by both of them. I think they both come off townier from it.
yuma seems the same to me as last game. He is talkative and mainly making sense. I guess I don't know what scum!yuma looks like. I don't agree with his line of reasoning on Jimmmm talking about switched, but it seems genuine.
Awaclus is difficult to read, even when I was on his team last game.
Haddock is scummy. His worrying about wagons being formed on people is scummy. His defending Faust out of the blue is scummy. You're right Faust, I should be voting for him, but ever since my first game on here, where I was important to town but got a lot of heat on the first day, I don't want to lynch new guys D1. I was mega scummy my first game, but people gave me the benefit of the doubt. I think the other reason why is because he defends you right after actively sheeping you with a bad reason. Why switch your vote to Hydrad for not contributing and not to me?
WW: I unfortunately am agreeing with your reads and observations this game. You seem towny enough.
Faust: ok rereading you, you don't appear as scummy. It was just that one moment from Haddock that had me worried. the reads list seems out of place to me. Although you are usually lynched D1, or die N1, or are mafia. So we'll see where we're at tomorrow. I'm also curious why your wagon stayed together for so long? For me it was just that I was busy and didn't have time to look at other people. It looks like everyone else just kinda stayed there without a reason. The case on me also seems genuine.
Chairs: seems really normal and towny this game. Lurky, but still changing his vote.
@RoadRunner: How did Faust earn your vote? Also why claim when you asked if it was good to claim, and everyone told you it wasn't. In fact, everyone one tole you when to claim VT, and when to not claim VT? The reason why I find you scummy is it seems like you are just trying to take the focus of the entire day without looking for scum in other people. AND you're talking about deadlines. This is what I did my first scum game.
silverspawn: why change your vote to Hydrad for lurking? Isn't that what he always does? And why not change it to me? Actually you seem more abrasive in the second half of the day than I've seen you as town.
Back to the switches, why would town talk about them at all? They don't affect town, and the only people who care about them are scum and SK. I think town would want to stop any talk of switches. I agree with Jimmmmm on this one.
Ok Haddock is putting his vote in all the wrong places. vote: Haddock is going against my not voting for newbies D1, but he has definitely deserved it for being a fishy fish.

I don't remember that, but I've basically thrown votes around at semi-random this game so far, waiting for anything to give me a big scum vibe on someone.

Ok Haddock is putting his vote in all the wrong places.
Why switch your vote to Hydrad for not contributing and not to me?
I have voted chairs, Jimmm, Hydrad, SS, awa and IG at different times.
IG was a joke, very early game.
When you and Hydrad were both not here I picked one of you to vote for to get you moving. Why not vote for you? Because I couldn't vote for both of you and someone was already voting you, so we had you covered.
So out of Jimmm, chairs, SS and awa, which votes do you have a problem with? Or is it just because I indicated that I might think about voting you so you're pushing back at me?
His defending Faust out of the blue is scummy.
I say again. At no point did I defend faust. I simply tried to motivate people on faust to contribute to the game.

this sounds fun. can I vote him? time to check vote counts!
also Haddock is giving me scum vibes right now. not much but maybe I'll see it growing in time...

ah i got bored and didn't count but i'm pretty sure hes no where near being lynched so
Vote: gkrieg13

I think your vote puts me at 3

Gkrieg, I have no justification for voting for Faust, that is why I unvoted. And if you want to think I'm scum, that's perfectly fine. Few other people think I am, and I know that I am not.
Personally, I think you are trying to draw attention away from yourself, but I will make a read list now.

When wiuld I not want to draw attention away from myself?

Here is my read:
WW: He seems like town. If he is scum, I think the town will just lose.
Faust: Faust seems very calculated and efficient. I don't think he is Mafia, but I am inclined to think he might be the Serial Killer.
Roadrunner: He seems like town to me.
Ashersky: I think he may actually be scum. He tries to draw attention away from himself, and he seems very mysterious.
Gkreig13: I could hop on his wagon. There is a lot of evidence against him, but I don't really want to anger him just in case he is scum. We'll say slightly scummy for this guy.
Haddock: Probably scum, but I would not lynch a fellow noob on day one.
Awaclus: Town.
SS: I have no idea, but slightly town.
Hydrad: See SS
IG: IG seems like a powerful role. I would not lynch him (him?) unless it came down to my vote, but I generally have bad reads.
Jimmmmmm: He is very fishy. Whether he is a PR or scum, I do not think he is a VT. I am not going to investigate him because I don't want to get lynched.
Yuma: Probably town, but I really don't know. I've never seen Yuma around the forum.
Chairs: Chairs is a huge bully. I think he is a VT who has a death wish.
The end.

That doesn't help people find scum. It's kinda like what awaclus did last game specifically to make town play bad.

On day one, I am not confident that our town can find scum. I made a list to voice my opinion, and I will vote later. That's really all I can do. And maybe I'm trying to be unhelpful on purpose so that I am not a high target for scum.

So I am home on a computer so here is my larger post on faust:
The first instance of me noticing faust occurred here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=13958.msg532142#msg532142) as others have pointed out. This reads list just didn't seem very fausty and I also felt it was too early to be useful and thus more likely to just be something that I could see scum!faust fabricating to appear to being useful and active.
The relevant part of that quote is here (and edited):
Roadrunner7671 - only empty posts. Not posting for a while, but suddenly around when called out on it. Scummy.
gkrieg13 - has gkrieg done anything yet? Null.
Haddock - his defending me is a bit weird. White knighting? Slight scum.
Jimmmmm - yuma has a point. Slight scum.
In that he has some scum reads: RR, Jimmmmm and Haddock (eventually votes for him). I include gkrieg because he then votes for gkrieg next:
I feel like some people need some motivation to contribute... Hydrad, Ichi, gkrieg have been absent.
Out of those, vote: gkrieg because there's no vote on him yet, and I'm a Berlin hipster.
The issue I have with this isn't that faust votes for a lurker to motivate him to participate. It is that he does so when he says he has goodish scummy reads on other players. That is my issue, foresaking scummy reads to vote for a null read when there are other methods to encourage participation (asking for a prod which faust in fact does). This makes it seem even more likely that those so-called reads above are forced and fake because he isn't prioritizing them. It has nothing to do with changing reads like faust said later, because the read on gkrieg at this point hadn't changed. It was a vote on a null lurker.
This null lurker vote then changes exactly one post after gkeirg comes into the game:
I think one of the new guys is scum but I don't want to lunch them today
As you say, Scummy McScum.
No it isn't just a null vote it is a "scummy mcscum" vote, which I am guessing is stronger especially as faust then starts to hound people for doing it. And the thing is.... faust is accusing gk of doing exactly what he did: having scum reads but not voting for them...
Which I agree is really quite scummy. In fact I would say that gkrieg's is scummier as faust's reads were early on in the game, whereas gkrieg's, one would assume, are more solid.
The large post for faust's case against gkrieg just seems like justification for voting as the only real scummy thing I think that is there.
So I am ok continuing to vote for faust, but I can see why gkrieg is scummy, I just don't necessarily like the way that faust got there... which isn't what I thought I was going to say at the end of this bit, but there you have it.

It would be nice if people read all of my posts, if they're going to bother writing up a case on me. Oh well.

This reads list just didn't seem very fausty and I also felt it was too early to be useful and thus more likely to just be something that I could see scum!faust fabricating to appear to being useful and active.
Have you read any of my recent scum games?
In that he has some scum reads: RR, Jimmmmm and Haddock (eventually votes for him). I include gkrieg because he then votes for gkrieg next:
[...]
The issue I have with this isn't that faust votes for a lurker to motivate him to participate. It is that he does so when he says he has goodish scummy reads on other players. That is my issue, foresaking scummy reads to vote for a null read when there are other methods to encourage participation (asking for a prod which faust in fact does).

It has nothing to do with changing reads like faust said later, because the read on gkrieg at this point hadn't changed. It was a vote on a null lurker.
So, uh... if you had actually followed my posts, you would know that this is rubbish. I was voting for Roadrunner at the time I was writing that post. Then I changed my mind (and said so in thread) and switched to Haddock. But after Haddock posted a bit, he also didn't feel that scummy anymore. So you can go reread and see that I changed my mind on both RR and Haddock. Your real qualm is that I didn't vote Jimmmmm. Who I put down as "slight scum".
I voted gkrieg because I wanted to get reactions specifically from him. Past games show that I am decently good at finding scum!gkrieg, so him posting more would help me quite a bit. I don't buy that town always sticks to their scum reads and never votes a lurker; that's rubbish. In fact, scum is much more likely to go back and ask themselves: "Who should I vote for next? Well, let's look for who I am supposed to have a scum read on..." - Because their reads aren't real, they have a harder time keeping them in their mind, and thus double-check. This is where the saying "inconsistency is a town tell" originates from.
So let me ask you, yuma, what exactly would be my scum motivation for voting gkrieg over Jimmmmm?
This null lurker vote then changes exactly one post after gkeirg comes into the game:
[...]
No it isn't just a null vote it is a "scummy mcscum" vote, which I am guessing is stronger especially as faust then starts to hound people for doing it. And the thing is.... faust is accusing gk of doing exactly what he did: having scum reads but not voting for them...
Which is not what I voted gkrieg for. I voted gkrieg for saying he does not want to lynch his scum reads. If he said "they're scummy, but for now I'll keep my vote where it is for reasons", I would not have had a problem with it. I never said I didn't want to lynch Jimmmmm. I only voted for someone else to help move the game forward, and then that person happened to act scummy.
So what you're ultimately voting me for is my attempts to move the game in a good direction. My early reads list was there to spark discussion - which it did. My gkrieg vote was for reactions - and reactions I got. While all you've been doing in the meantime is going on about how you're soon going to make your big revelation.

Sorry. I don't want to encourage SK hunting and I did not feel the need to respond to some baseless accusation. But if it pleases you: I am not a Serial Killer.
PPE = "pre-post edit" Writing "PPE 4" is short for "there have been 4 posts since I started writing this post".
-
@RR Yes I'm a he.
So. Reads list.
Witherweaver: I feel a bit of a scum vibe from him actually. His jokes seems a little more forced to me. Maybe it's just my hiatus.
Faust: I'm pretty much waiting for his response to yuma's post about him. Other than that, we haven't had our "mandatory fight" yet or whatever--which I'm happy about. I don't think I will ever not be wary of faust though. There was that game not too long ago where he basically became an IC as scum.
Roadrunner7671: eh. I don't think I want to lynch him today. He reads like new town to me.
Ashersky: I don't recall much about his posts this game. I'm not sure why he's suspected. I should probably reread a bit since I mostly skimmed the stuff that happened while I was asleep.
gkrieg13: Mm. I'm doubting my scumread on him slightly. I feel like I have a bit of a history of finding him scummy. yuma does make a good point too about that he and faust acted similarly.
Haddock: The other new player in this game. I think his avatar looks conniving. I should probably peruse his posts as well.
Awaclus: Inscrutable.
Silverspawn: Pretty null at this point. I think his meta has changed a lot since he first started playing. I don't think I want to lynch him today.
Hydrad: Somewhat scummy. I think I've always ended up on the wrong side of reading Hydrad. There was a post he made recently that I found suspicious. I'll see if I can find it.
Ichimaru Gin: townzer
Jimmmmm: I don't think Jimmmmm has said much so far. There was the early thing about shutting down conversation about the switches. I find it notable that he thought the SK and Mafia would/could use theory talk about the switches to communicate?
Yuma: Town for now. It's been a while since I've played with him; I think I took my break around the time he returned.
Chairs: Null to slight scum for now. He hasn't said much. He also made that quick, unexplained vote on...Haddock I think?

funnily enough it's something that dis-relevances (this is now a word) the first thing.
if you type a message and between the time that you began typing and that you pressed on "Post" someone has submitted a new post, you will get PPE warning. PPE 4 means that he hasn't read the latest 4 posts, one of which being your SK one.

funny story... there is a setting within notifications that I had somehow turned on that disables seeing the warning about new posts when typing one, so for the longest time I had thought that people were actively going and manually checking if new posts had been written before posting...
Anyways, make sure that button isn't on if you aren't seeing the warning...

You should be aware that post-modification (other than deleting some stuff) is pretty much frowned upon in this mafia community.

I am not comparing faust to he that shall not be named. I am comparing myself to myself. At the end of the last game I almost quit mafia again because it wasn't fun. That wasn't necessarily on HTSNBN, but more on me because I kept feeling the urge to respond to everything little thing that he did.

I mean, I have heard the excuse of "I don't want to respond because it'd be walls of text" exactly once, which was in my one and only offsite game, and I thought it was incredibly stupid. Like, wtf.
faust did address points, maybe 3 or so, and nothing stops you from addressing them. why does it matter if the post is long or short.
that said, I know that sometimes your mind can draw illogical associations with stuff that make things unpleasant even if there's no rational reason for it... so eh. Like I said, it doesn't really make you scummy anyway.

No, you don't need to respond. People are apparently seeing that your case is bad, so there's no need to argue about it further.
I am wondering though, if you're town, do you not want to convince people? You should not answer the post for me, but for the other players in the game, who in your opinion need to be convinced to vote for me.

If people have questions then they can ask. I feel that what I put out has merit. If others can't see that... well... I honestly don't know how to convince people any more. The case on HTSNBN last game was pretty clear cut, but people refused to listen because I apparently diluted that with talking too much or something, so let's try this method and see if it works...

I think your case didn't work only because the two ICs were telling you you were wrong. I don't think it was dilution at all. I thought you had a great case so I had to make sure people discounted it.
-
then again, gkrieg was so incredibly scummy in the game I modded that I almost feel this game isn't scummy enough to be scum.
I don't think I follow... Am I scummy this game or not?
you are scummy, just not as scummy as in fanfiction mafia.

Well, to be fair, a lot of people were also suspecting Awaclus in that game... for me personally, at some point I felt like you were just too emotionally invested and thus biased and thus I didn't listen to the case. Plus starting D3 you were very suspcious yourself due to the derphammer. Plus you didn't know Awaclus meta yet - at least for me that was something that made me take you less seriously (sorry about that).
I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think you're unable to convince people. It was a very specific situation then and now it's very different.
Why am I encouraging you to push a case against me again?

Seeing things from a mod's perspective is much different though. It's always easier to find people scummy when you know they're scum.

I didn't post that!
In all seriousness, I said 'slightly' scummy. I'm not sure 'slightly' is enough to convict him.
On the other hand, if I defend him and he is scum, people will think I'm scum!
I think I've dug myself into a hole because of my big mouth.

those are fair points... mostly I just don't want to get into a place where I feel a little bit gross about what I am posting (like I did last game) and I was starting to feel that way as I was reading yours and thinking of how I would respond and felt it best to not--at least not at that time and in that setting...
and honestly you wanting me to push my case against you makes me suspect you less...

I'm getting a little bored with the "joking WW feels scummy" kind of argument as it's been demonstrated wrong many many times. Feels lazy.
Also, Gkrieg getting called out for calling someone not scummy and not voting for them, and then making a big long reads post when he gets a wagon in him, and at the end voting for that person that he got called out before, man that's scumzor mcsumity.
Though if Gkieg is scum and Faust is Town I'll be annoyed because it means I was wrong and that's never a good time.
Still don't feel great about Faust. Also Fauat detracting house lynch with a lurker case is auspicious, but he made decent points. Good news is Faust/Gkrieg partner is virtually impossible.
Yuma I have a hard time reading now, because I don't think he's playing like he did before. Maybe we should all act like we want to lynch him and see how he responds. Don't tell him we talked about this though.
Ichi is up in the air. Haddock has acted scummier, and man RR is town.
Silver doesn't feel any townier. Awaclus is we could lynch, I mean why not.
Ash probably not. Hm... who else?
-
I am probably going to end of voting for Faust, Ashersky or gkreig. Sorry guys, don't night kill me over it please.
-
I'm getting a little bored with the "joking WW feels scummy" kind of argument as it's been demonstrated wrong many many times. Feels lazy.
I didn't say it to bore you. I've been on different sides of that argument before.
That's just mostly what I remember from your play this game so far, and it stood out to me. I'm not saying jokey WW is a scumtell, cause I think it's established it's not an alignment tell for you. However, on a quick reread of you, a lot of your posts seem like short, witty commentary. Maybe I'm just out of touch and that's also normal.
-
Ash probably not. Hm... who else?
You forget Hydrad, chairs, Jimmmmm. For which I can't really blame you.
-

Eh, toss them in the lynchable pile.
-
So WW, you basically have no town read besides ash?
-
Oh, Roadrunner I guess. He's hidden.
-
Couple of pages to catch up.
Before anything else, WW I'd like to know what you meant by
Haddock has acted scummier...
Are you saying that I have acted scummier than some other person? Or are you saying I've acted scummier in this game than I currently am acting? I honestly don't know which you mean.
That done with:
This yuma vs. faust thing is really hard for me to read. If they're both scum then they've played this very well indeed.
Overall I think yuma comes out just on top, ie. I think the whole thing makes faust look ever-so-slightly scummy. But nothing yuma has said against faust has convinced me that the case against gkrieg is less good than it always was.
And now gkrieg has claimed to have a town read on chairs. This just doesn't make any sense to me. Chairs hasn't said anything. I accept that quietness might be chairs's usual behaviour, which is why I'm no longer voting for him. But seriously, with the amount that chairs has said can anyone really get a town read on him? Null at best, for me.
All that said, vote: gkrieg.
-
Hey, checking in. As I said in the V/LA thread, busy weekend.
-
I'm checking in. Lynching gkreig doesn't feel great, but I think I might vote for him.
-
I voted gkrieg because I wanted to get reactions specifically from him. Past games show that I am decently good at finding scum!gkrieg, so him posting more would help me quite a bit.
I would like to point out that this isn't true. Faust has found me scummy in the last few games that we've played together regardless of my alignment. He vigged me in Paris mafia when I was town because I was "the scummiest person"

No but I've only been scum twice. Once was in fan fiction. The other I subbed in and got lynched like 3 pages later in college town where Faust was my partner. And in fan fiction, Faust was only alive the first day. So I can't really say that he has been really good at finding scum!me
-
Okay, a lot of you think I am town. Will you guys still think I am town if I don't lynch gkreig and he is Mafia?

So, just caught up on the last five pages or so. RR is Morgrim aligned for sure.

Like scummy odd? Or just odd odd?

Seems like a thing he might say to strengthen his case, which could happen either way.
It's straight up not true, though. You haven't been scum enough and we killed him N1 that last time.
-
So, just caught up on the last five pages or so. RR is Morgrim aligned for sure.
vote: yuma I think.
Is that a good thing?
-
OK so here's my reads list.
Ashersky: Not said huge amounts recently. People seemed to find him scummy early on. I remember thinking him slightly scummy, but can't remember why. Null-to-mild scum.
Awaclus: Unreadable. I voted for him early, but was happy for his response. Null, but could lynch him because he's unreadable, if people wanted that.
Chairs: Still not saying much. People say that's normal for chairs. Therefore null.
Faust: He lied about being able to read gkrieg? I don't like that at all. Moderate scum, I would be OK voting him if that became a thing.
Gkrieg: Moderate-to-strongly scum.
Haddock: Town!
Hydrad: Isn't saying much. The most recent posts I can find from him are short and contain very little explanation before jumping on a wagon. Mildly scummy maybe, but not enough to lynch today I think, there are better candidates.
Ichimaru Gin: Pretty towny, I think. Thinks my avatar looks "conniving", to which I say MWAHAHAHAHA.
Jimmmmm: Mixed. I didn't like his short commanding posts early on, but again I rely on other people's assessment that he's usually like this. So overall null I guess.
Roadrunner7671: Weird. I go back and forth. I'm with other people who suggest we leave it until a later day to see what he's like then.
Silverspawn: Slightly towny.
Witherweaver: Hasn't said massive amounts. But what he has said has seemed fine. Slight town.
Yuma: Null. Makes some sense about faust, but that doesn't necessarily make him towny.
Just for everyone's reference, here's the vote count as I make it (only 2 changes since the last one, but meh.)
Faust (2): Yuma, Hydrad
ashersky (1): Awaclus
Haddock (2): Jimmmmm, gkrieg13
Awaclus (1): ashersky
gkrieg13 (5): faust, Ichimaru Gin, Witherweaver, silverspawn, Haddock
yuma (1): chairs
Not voting: Roadrunner7671

Scummier than I originally thought. I had you as an early town read.
-
Jimmmmm: Mixed. I didn't like his short commanding posts early on, but again I rely on other people's assessment that he's usually like this. So overall null I guess.
Which posts in particular do you have an issue with? Do you mean you think they're scummy, or you don't like them for some other reason?
-
Okay, a lot of you think I am town. Will you guys still think I am town if I don't lynch gkreig and he is Mafia?

Like I said, overall, I don't have an issue; we kinda dealt with this already. We came up with a fairly good word; "authoritative". You came across as commanding, almost aggressive. It bothered me (yes, as in I found it a bit scummy), but now it doesn't; people said it was fairly normal for you.

Your the most hesitant one on there. Usually I end up thinking one of me reads is going to be wrong so even though I have no evidence to think your scum I picked you at random since I'm guessing theres at least 1 scum I missed. so now I have a higher chance of being right. Its perfect!

I wasn't saying it made you suspicious; I'm just saying I didn't like it. I mean part of it was that the same thing just happened last game. It was driven by scum (Ash/Gkrieg) there, but town has made the arguments before.

Ok I feel like too many people are find with the lynchpool of faust/gkrieg/haddock/and maybe ash. That leads me to believe that we are all town. We have a few more days, and I don't think focusing on three people, when so many people have said it is a good idea.
-
Ok I looked for the quotes to back that up and didn't find anything. Maybe that is just my perception.

Regarding my opinion of gkrieg: I could lynch him, but he's not my first choice. I've reconsidered my yuma vote, however. I'd like to be on record that imho vote: roadrunner is a wise course of action (he's my first choice), and we have time for the rest of you to reconsider giving him a D1 pass.

How does that make him scum?
-
Regarding my opinion of gkrieg: I could lynch him, but he's not my first choice. I've reconsidered my yuma vote, however. I'd like to be on record that imho vote: roadrunner is a wise course of action (he's my first choice), and we have time for the rest of you to reconsider giving him a D1 pass.

Let's see if I can post now...(I can't post on the forums for a few hours every morning, and I'm not sure why)
Because it's what scum wants. Distracting town, providing no content, messing with everyone's reads...those are all anti-town things. While I know someone will say anti-town doesn't equal scummy, sometimes they go together because anti-town stuff helps scum.
He's basically Awaclus without the disrespectful/mean streak. Which was Morgrim.
-
^that's a totally legit strategy for scum to do, but I don't think that a noob!scum does it
-
Please expand. Why do you think I'm scummy from that?
Let me reread tonight and get back to you. I just seem to remember yuma making some valid points, then you trying to turn it back round on yuma. Which in itself is fine, I just got a gut feeling overall that you had come out the scummier of the two of you.

I thought Morgrim was always town? And I feel like on my very first day of forum Mafia, I don't have enough evidence to lynch someone. Sue me.

I don't think you understand how this game works. For the entirety of the game, most of us will never have any evidence at all. It's all guesswork and handicraft.
Even when a cop claims to have caught mafia at night, the "cop" could be lying.
vote: Roadrunner7671 again.
-
Put it another way: imagine this was a vanilla game. So, 9 Vanilla Townies vs. 3 Mafia Goons. No powers, nothing.
What would you propose happen? If you no lynch every day due to "no evidence," the Mafia Goons just kill someone every night until they win.
If you demand everyone claim their role, everyone says Vanilla Town, because the Mafia are going to lie.
You have to lynch people, even if it might be wrong. The way people interacted with them, who did and didn't vote, etc. is how you build cases on other players. It's all circumstantial, but it's all we have.

oh faust is sheeping this? let's see
first ash has these two posts
he responds aggressively when jimmm calls him out on it, which is something he'd do as either alignment
he also responds aggressively towards me when I vote him for the two above posts, which is also something he'd do as either alignemnt
(this is a fundamental property of ash I think, his emotions and views take priority over ingame reasons, so lots of things are auto null since they aren't dictated by alignment)
Then he calls out awaclus for being less unhelpful than in previous games. weird. not sure what ... ?
a few jokes
then he pushes RR, which is bad. not that bad though. RR is my strongest townread, but I could see town!ash doing it.
overall it amounts to a decent day 1 scumread for me. also, not a single post of him gives me town vibes.

Weird behavior not scummy behavior + bandwagon jumping.
I don't know bandwagon jumping I don't really mind. It is day1 and I think those sort of interactions end up proving useful. But I think it can ultimately result in a group think sort of mentality where not only do we end up often lynching town day1 (not a huge concern as that is going to happen) we also don't really get anything super useful out of it (a much, much bigger concern)

You start with "ash has two scummy posts" and then this giant list of null tells and a town!ash mention.

You continue to let your personal feelings for how I "wrecked" your fanfiction game by using a plan you thought was "bad" to win the game in a way you didn't like mess with your game.
At this point, I'm disgusted with it and am pretty much at the point where I feel like we should just avoid playing forum games together. Which is sad, but it's what happened with Eevee, and I guess can happen again.

As it is, unfortunately, the right reason for lynching me (ashersky, the player -- regardless of alignment) has nothing to do with in-game reasons anymore.

Okay. I'm pretty sure you're deliberately misunderstanding me to try to rile me up (because you want to win the game and that's the way you go about it as a player - please don't accuse me of attacking you personally because I'm not). But for the sake of the argument: I have been very frustrated at my inability in Mafia games in the last fairly long while. I rarely develop any kind of reads early on in the game and then on Day 3 or 4 I force myself to have an opinion based on the little of the game that I've actually read and remembered. So the fact that I'm here, posting, am pretty much up to date, and have some kind of read, even just a vibe, is something of an achievement for me.
-
okay let's do this then
Somehow that amounts to a decent day 1 scumread?
yes, the points that are not null together amount to a decent scum read. I will show you - here is my quote with all parts erased that I said I considered null
first ash has these two posts
which are def both super scummy, as I've gone over already
then he pushes RR, which is bad. not that bad though. RR is my strongest townread, but I could see town!ash doing it.
also, not a single post of him gives me town vibes.
This leaves 3 points left. #1 are your first 2 posts, #2 is you pushing PR (which is 'bad but not that bad' meaning it gives mild scum points), and #3 is that nothing you did gives me any town feelings. They are enough for a decent day 1 scum read, meaning they amount to a read that has about about average confidence among my set of previous day 1 reads. this average confidence is of course not very high, because mafia is hard and it's day 1.
This is what I meant with the post, it is what I said in my post, and it is what I now reiterated to make it abundantly clear.
You continue to let your personal feelings for how I "wrecked" your fanfiction game by using a plan you thought was "bad" to win the game in a way you didn't like mess with your game.
No... I don't do that at all. First of all, I don't have negative personal feelings towards you.
I keep little files for all persons in my life in my head. Whenever they do something, that adds to their file and my interpretation of this. I do this because I am obsessed with character interpretation. And believe it or not, your file has changed very marginally due to what happened in fanfiction mafia. It basically only confirmed what I thought previously and added some minor touches.
Second of all, there is no evidence for me letting any personal feelings come in the way. Actually, I deliberately avoided confronting you in any way at all to make the chance for this argument happening as small as possible, because I suspected that you would snap as soon as I push your case in any way, no matter how careful I am - because that fits in line with how I interpret your personality - and so I tried not to do that. Until I have to, like I did twice this day; once early on after you made your posts that gave me the initial scum read, and another time now, because I think you might be the best lynch for today. Further dodging you in order to avoid confrontation would be anti town.
At this point, I'm disgusted with it and am pretty much at the point where I feel like we should just avoid playing forum games together. Which is sad, but it's what happened with Eevee, and I guess can happen again.
You can do that, but I think you're a fascinating person and won't try to avoid playing with you.

"Ever so slightly more scummy" strikes me as forced overemphasis. Like the need to point out that you could be wrong that manifests because you know you are.
Up until this recent Ash thing you've struck me as characteristically uninvolved. Something (a particular post) in the early game made me think scum, but I'd have to go back and check what it is.

silver's early-game play did not seem like something he would cook up as scum though. I believe he is town.

Also, cool that my former top scum reads die during the night. I guess I'm just awesome at Mafia.

I don't see a whole lot of bus potential on the Ash wagon. Chairs is possible. Awaclus would be like a planned strategic bus. Could happen but Ash isn't the type to go for those. Jimmm, RR, and Gkrieg are unlikely.
-
Off wagon: Ichi, Hydrad, Yuma, Haddock. Nothing jumps out to me from memory about Ichi, Hydrad, Yuma.
-
I think people on the ash wagon are looking very non-Mafiay. The obvious suspects to me are yuma and WW. Vote: yuma definitely seems the most sensible.
-
Awaclus would be like a planned strategic bus. Could happen but Ash isn't the type to go for those.
I super don't think it could happen. Maybe if there was no SK, but even if it was obvious I'm not on ash's team, unfortunately I'm not even an IC now, so there's no way it would be worth it to commit to bussing a partner as early as I voted for ash.

I think you are the one being bussed in this theoretical situation.
-
No, if Ash were planning to bus someone it would be Roadrunner. Awaclus came out against Ash early and (of course) without justification, so I'm saying if there were bussing, it would have been a planned ahead thing.

I agree with you that there probably wasn't a planned bus in this situation.

Yay we got scum! Sucks that our doctor is dead. Chairs comes off townier from the hammer.
Let's start with vote: Haddock
I am not sure I agree. the chairs hammer I felt could very easily have been a desperation scum hammer. He doesn't look nearly as townie as say... well the two townies who died during the night, yourself (gkrieg) or Jimmmmm or RR.
That said, obviously off wagon is the place to look given the lynch was scum and where the NKs took place: Hydrad, Ichi, Haddock, WW, myself.
then if we don't have success we could potentially start to look on wagon, but that shouldn't be the focus today.
-
I think people on the ash wagon are looking very non-Mafiay. The obvious suspects to me are yuma and WW. Vote: yuma definitely seems the most sensible.
Why am I more sensible than WW? Or anyone else off wagon for that matter?

Was I really the only person who thought that ash was up to some sort of long-game con with how hard he was pushing the newbie RR agenda? Like I was really thinking that he was just belligerently pushing the RR lynch to try and get a whole bunch of reactions to somehow use--not that I thought they ultimately would have been very useful--after revealing that the whole thing was a "trap" of some sort?
I could have seen him doing it as town or even as mafia (maybe that is what he was pretending to do but pushed it too far?) and kept expecting him to have a big reveal moment up until I saw that he was lynched.

Well, I didn't think Ash was scum. Ash tends to tunnel as town, so I wasn't too put off by it. The only disingenuous motivation I had thought of yesterday was scum!Ash pushing a newbie town just because he didn't think we'd expect him to do it as scum. There's an off chance that Ash planned this with RR with the idea that we wouldn't go along with him wanting to lynch a newbie.

Guess what! Ash tried to vote for me! So that means I'm off the hook, right?
Two things:
I'm sorry Ashersky. I feel like you don't like the way I play Mafia, but it was nothing personal.
Also, I guess Faust wasn't the SK...

It does not mean that you're off the hook. Ash could have done that as your partner, and you could still be the SK. It does mean that you're less likely to be scum, though.
Also, I am not ashersky (because we're both really Wandering Winder) and can't really speak for him, but it's worth noting that he was scum and he was trying to win the game. I would assume that he said everything he said because he was scum trying to win the game, until there's a reason to believe otherwise.

I did join another Mafia game and he /outed as soonas I joined. Coincidence? Maybe. But I still feel bad.

Now hold on!
I have been purposely ignoring you all game because... well you annoy me.
But I have to jump in here.
Feelings are feelings no matter what. Sometimes people feel things when they are scum. Sometimes when they feel things they are town. Feelings rarely can be fabricated or manipulated to fit the context of a certain situation. Like right now. No matter my alignment. I am pretty annoyed with this statement.
And this idea, this pervasive idea that when people are mafia they aren't allowed to have feelings or be annoyed or frustrated or whatever (and that it all must be made up because they are mafia... and thus the scummy scum of the earth) is the main reason I left this game the first time. I have hopefully learned to not internalize that as much, but I am not going to stand by and let it be thrown out that whatever feelings ash had and expressed here on the forum (whether you agree or like them or not) aren't legitimate and real, regardless of how he tried to use them to his best ability.
That is bull shit. And I am calling it bull shit.
End rant. Not discussing this further because I don't want to derail... but I have been where ash has been before (so has ash, so have others for that matter) and if we want to keep this community as something then we need to stop making it so that people aren't constantly alienated out of this community for being told that their feelings aren't real when in fact they are.
Ash can speak more to this after the game if he wants. But I am saying here and now that I don't like it and I don't tolerate it.

Just because he had time that he could've voted someone doesn't make them scum. I had time to vote for ash but he was a town read to me until the moment he wasn't and I voted for him, which was right before he was lynched.

I said I can't speak for ashersky. You can't speak for him either.
I wasn't really suggesting that people can't have feelings when they are scum in particular, just that it makes a lot more sense to pretend to have feelings you really don't have when you're scum. Obviously there are also times when it's beneficial for town to pretend to have feelings they really don't have, but this wasn't one of those times (and not just because ash was evidently not town).
Also, all of us have a lot of feelings that are in no way apparent from the posts we write. They could be if this was IRL, but we're just typing stuff by hitting keys on our keyboards and have all the time in the world to do so. It's not really difficult to manipulate what keys you hit. If you let your feelings hurt your alignment, that's just bad play.
-
So, you are verifying once and for all what an incredible waste of time it is for anyone to try to argue about this with you.
-
I still promised myself not to read anything Awaclus, said, but I don't think the statement in regards to Ashersky is off here, at least not how I read it.
-
Or maybe I missed something in what Ash said yesterday.

Is anyone going to vote for me?
I'm not very experienced at Mafia, but if I didn't like RR's character (which a lot of you don't), I would say something like this:
First, the Mafia told RR to act clueless.
They then tried to pin the blame on RR, knowing no one would vote for him.
Ashersky wasn't supposed to die, gkreig was supposed to go down.
When RR was found out, the remaining Mafia would've been the ones who originally voted for RR on day one or two.
Or something like that. Is anyone planning on voting for me?

This is scum ash. He tries to get out of it by being aggressive and trying to make people feel bad for voting for him.
That is also town Ash. In fact scum ash may be slightly less aggressive.
I think town!ash is a bit more likely to make sense and less likely to misinterpret things, so the confrontation with jimmmm makes him ever so slightly more scummy.
Sounds like weaksauce to me.
The only thing you did which supports the ash wagon was saying that he's obviously scum because he hasn't selfhammered. Which reads like a joke to me; in any case, you didn't hammer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally desperate to lynch you. I'm just trying to point out to gkrieg that it doesn't really make sense for him to vote me just for being offwagon, when you were offwagon and also defending ash.
Maybe gkrieg has other reasons to vote me, in which case I'd love to hear them.

Scum partners generally don't like to come out and make statements about their partners because, well, they get analyzed if one flips. They're more likely to try to direct the conversation/focus away without being too noticeable.
I'm voting for you because, once I saw Ash flip scum I immediately threw out all my other thoughts (Silver could (probably) no longer be scum, Faust could no longer be scum, most others on his wagon were probably not scum), and I thought you had to be the partner. I don't remember why I thought that, but I remember that I did.
I think a big part of it was I was getting scum feelings on you as the day went on, you never really landed anywhere on Ash, and by the end of the day you were voting Gkrieg... actually, I think it was the Gkrieg vote that gave me strongest scum vibes.

It's a really complicated plan (if I was Mafia) that involves me faking my cluelessness, the Mafia trying to kill me, and us lynching gkreig. When I was lynched, my Mafia buddies would've been 'trying' to lynch me all game, so no on would suspect them of being Mafia.
The plan is supposed to sound crazy and confusing, that is why it would never happen/work.

Anyone can come up with an unlikely scenario where they're mafia. That's not really a good defense (well, it's not like you really need to defend yourself at this point anyway, but still).

So the vote is here
Couple of pages to catch up.
Before anything else, WW I'd like to know what you meant by
Haddock has acted scummier...
Are you saying that I have acted scummier than some other person? Or are you saying I've acted scummier in this game than I currently am acting? I honestly don't know which you mean.
That done with:
This yuma vs. faust thing is really hard for me to read. If they're both scum then they've played this very well indeed.
Overall I think yuma comes out just on top, ie. I think the whole thing makes faust look ever-so-slightly scummy. But nothing yuma has said against faust has convinced me that the case against gkrieg is less good than it always was.
And now gkrieg has claimed to have a town read on chairs. This just doesn't make any sense to me. Chairs hasn't said anything. I accept that quietness might be chairs's usual behaviour, which is why I'm no longer voting for him. But seriously, with the amount that chairs has said can anyone really get a town read on him? Null at best, for me.
All that said, vote: gkrieg.
and I think that put him at L-2 at the time? It's not much of a reason in the first place and you stretched it out for a bunch of sentences. The timing has the feeling of scum getting on a mislynch.
-
Why does he have to explain that to you? It doesn't really prevent him from voting for you if you don't understand how you're scummy. If you want to do something about it, you should explain to him how it was not scummy.
That implies that voting for people is inherently scummy until proven otherwise. Which is just wrong. It's anti-town to not vote for anyone.

Nope, I still don't entirely get it. You're suggesting that the only way you're mafia is that mafia coached you to fake cluelessness, then would try to get you killed but intentionally fail and lynch gkrieg instead? I agree, that's a crazy plan. But the craziness of that particular plan doesn't exactly make you an IC.

As much as Ichi ever said about Ash, I think:
Ashersky: I don't recall much about his posts this game. I'm not sure why he's suspected. I should probably reread a bit since I mostly skimmed
Mildly suspicious. He was on Gkrieg and didn't move it.

Haddock on Ash:
OK so here's my reads list.
Ashersky: Not said huge amounts recently. People seemed to find him scummy early on. I remember thinking him slightly scummy, but can't remember why. Null-to-mild scum.

and I think that put him at L-2 at the time? It's not much of a reason in the first place and you stretched it out for a bunch of sentences. The timing has the feeling of scum getting on a mislynch.
Wait, suddenly putting people at L-2 is a scummy thing to do? I seem to remember making a comment about some L-2 wagons early on and getting called scummy just for suggesting that the people on the L-2 wagons start contributing to the game.
But yeah OK the reasons I give in that post are clearly not enough for a gkrieg lynch. There was already a decent case against him, I think it had been put forward by faust? I didn't feel the need to repeat it.
-
That implies that voting for people is inherently scummy until proven otherwise. Which is just wrong. It's anti-town to not vote for anyone.
No, it just implies that there is no need for you to know why people are voting for you — others don't have to convince you that you're scum before they can vote for you, you have to convince others that you're town if you want them to stop.

L-2 isn't; at that point in the game I think it was moreso. You didn't feel you needed to repeat Faust's argument but you felt you needed to write a paragraph about another point.
Anyway, this is generally why I don't like to give detailed explanations of things. I obviously can't show you that you're scum or fully justify the feeling. If you're scum you want details so that you can discredit them, and if you're town you just know I'm wrong.

So what you're saying here is that voting for someone is not in itself a scummy thing to do. Right?
So why was my vote for gkrieg scummy? Is what I'm asking WW.
You didn't feel you needed to repeat Faust's argument but you felt you needed to write a paragraph about another point.
Well, obviously. Repeating someone else's arguments isn't exactly productive. Making a new point is worth a few sentences. At this point you seem to be finding my vote scummy because I was too wordy about it? Well get used to it, buddy, I like my words.

Vote: Haddock
Nice lynch! bad SK. why do SK's never seem to hit scum.
-
I don't feel so good about lynching Haddock, but I don't feel awful about it either. I want to hear him defend himself more. But unvote. As of right now I think it'll come down to Haddock or WW.
-
Ok phone post. I should be back at a computer in a couple hours. I was just waking up around the time ash got hammered. Ashersky is someone who i recall little direct interaction with across all my games here; I also find him very difficult to read. I guess i tend to rely on others who seem to be more adept at that.
More thoughts later when i can sit down and analyze stuff.

He is the likeliest of those on wagon if you ask me. Maybe tied with... Desperation bus hammering is a thing. See axxle in adventure time mafia. Hammered partner raerae day1 and that almost led him to a win at the end... But not quite... My getting lynched day2 didn't help

So why was my vote for gkrieg scummy? Is what I'm asking WW.
You don't need to know that. He is allowed to vote for you even if you don't know why.

vote: ash. I remember him saying he does this in a speccy when he is scum
which scum QT was this? I just read through the fanfiction one and didn't see anything there that talked about this...
-
after rereading the build up of the ash wagon this is the moment that stood out to me the most:
My wagon is full of scummy folks, at least.
I like how SS has all those posts saying everything I've said is null, then calls it a good case.
vote: silverspawn
followed by:
Vote: Silverspawn
At this point ash was at L-2 and, with hindsight granted, the lynch looked pretty much a done deal. I generally don't think that scum buddies interact with each other in such a straightforward way, following each other like this, but I can't help but think that it might have been a move of desperation to maybe get some heat of ash and some onto SS in hopes of luring some who were on the ash wagon onto SS or enticing some who weren't voting for ash to not vote for him and vote for SS instead...
-
or is that just too blatant of scum play to be even possible?
-
or is that just too blatant of scum play to be even possible?
Well I can tell you that I'm not scum; joining with your partner like that is possible, but it's hard to make yourself do that, and the only purpose would be to appeal to this kind of argument.
Here, I just thought Ash was town and Silverspawn was scum. I probably wasn't going to vote for Ash unless something changed my mind. I was previously on Gkrieg, though that wagon died, and even before it did I started to feel not great about it. (It started to feel like a mislynch as some point). So I supported the Silver wagon.

I feel that...

And that's it. I don't think I missed any. Major thing I'm getting out of it is just how many times he voted silverspawn. If silver wasn't dead, I'd think it was some weird partner interaction since I don't recall silver being a lynch people were really considering.

See, for me this makes me feel very Town on Roadrunner, because I don't think scum!ash votes his partners D1 unless he thinks it'll give him a lot of credit. It's null on awaclus, though, because awaclus!awaclus means ash could partner vote there and it not seem out of place either way.

I was somewhat surprised that there wasn't more backlash against yuma (and to some degree WW) for opposing the ash lynch. At some point I'll look at they're posts leading up to the end of Day 1 and see how substantial I think they are.

You are right that first post in response to Awaclus should have said this:
and oh fuck it why do I even bother talking this is just going to get a pointless response to lead to more pointlessness.

I guess it's fair, but I was just wrong. I think if you read my interactions with Ash throughout the entire day you'll see partnership should look unlikely.

The early stuff, like there was one post where Ash said something like "WW you're in this game! Are you scum?" And we joked about Masons, etc. You can say those things can be constructed, but I know they weren't, and I think that should somehow be realizable on reading.

I think yuma is more scummish than WW.
I'm mostly posting so that I don't get poked. As usual, I have nothing to add to the conversation.

The game is really fun, but I think I've lost my original buzz. Faust and SS, both people who contributed a lot, are gone. Wiped out from our community. To never be seen again. It really makes you think.

for starters needs to setup a goko username so I can "Ctrl F" his posts...
-
@Haddock: What do you think of yuma?
I reread him by "Ctrl F" posts: 134 for those who want to do the same....
Not a lot jumped out at me. The main thing was that he had a perfectly null read on ashersky, which is something I have seen scum do on partners a lot. But that "reads" post was before ashersky really blew up and wasn't really the focal point, so I don't know if I put too much stock into that as it conceivably could have been just not having a read on him by being more focused on other items.
There was some early defense of ash, but he also defended faust and someone else when they got to L-1 or L-2 so that felt more like a paranoia of an early lynch, which again is often a scumtell.
As for how ash interacted with him, I would say that he didn't really... which isn't very ashersky to me at all. Honestly I would expect ash to interact how he did with RR (but on a much lower level) early than basically completely ignoring him...
And I see his points on WW and think they might have some merit, but as mentioned above I am struggling with seeing WW play that blatantly in defending a partner
So I think by default he is scummier being off wagon, but I don't know if he would be a better lynch than WW (who has direct ties to ash) or ichi/hydrad (who don't either)
-

In my scum games with Ashersky, I've felt he's had very minimal interactions with me. I remember one game where I was kind of arguing/debating things he was saying and he didn't respond.

Hmm... Then I don't know. I know last game he didn't interact much with gkrieg (or Awaclus) but that was such a weird game because of the Mason claim.
But the times I have been partners with ash we had some pretty epic sized arguments/interactions... see Mean Girls Mafia for example where I counter-fakeclaimed his fakeclaim... and I know he has done similar things with others.

OK I'm back. I know I didn't say I was going anywhere, apologies for that folks. I didn't really mean to go anywhere, I just haven't had time the last few evenings. Here now though. And I've been keeping an eye on things at least.
I will reread yuma now, back shortly.
Is there anyone who hasn't posted D2? It's been fairly sparse in general but I don't think anyone is entirely missing.
-
I'm pretty busy studying for my exam, but I should be able to post a bit this weekend.
I feel like I'm not really seeing people make cases or have many scumreads, which I find interesting. It seems like everyone's mostly getting along.
Granted, I haven't done that either, but I find the overall trend notable I guess.
I also feel some scum vibes from yuma. He reads like he's playing very cautiously to me. Still, I know there could be other reasons for that, so I kinda want to give him the benefit of the doubt at that point. Maybe that's naive of me.
-
OK so I've reread yuma now. Couple of things come out of it.
Firstly, his part in the argument about whether we should talk about switches. I'd forgotten he had such a big say in it, but he does end up saying quite a lot. The weird thing is I agree that completely censoring a topic was a bad thing, but the whole thing went on for so long that everyone who said anything in it ended up feeling a bit scummy to me. So yeah minor scum points for that, he makes no posts except about the switch discussion for a large chunk of D1.
After that he makes a lot of anecdotes about previous games, still not really contributing much. First major point is his case against faust, which actually isn't a bad case it seems to me, I can see where he comes from. Not much to deduce from that. (I want to apologise to WW, on reread I can definitely get behind the scumread on faust, he somehow looks scummier now that I know he's town than he did at the time.) Then he refuses to continue defending his viewpoint on faust, which actually reads fairly genuine, so his case on faust is still null to me.
The ash thing. I'mma take back what I said about WW. On reread, yuma and WW saw ash's behaviour as being within his meta right from the start. This makes the later defense of ash, because there's two of them doing it, seem much better generally, for some reason. So unvote: WW.
D2 yuma seems way more invested in the game. I can only assume that he's aware that his defense of ash is going to look suspicious. So he's contributing more. Also the game has just got more interesting. But there's not much content in his posts, just like there hasn't been much content in anyone's posts today. Other than yuma's feelings rant there's not much going on. The rant again feels genuine, no way to take anything from it.
The main thing I don't like about yuma is his tendency to keep going back to meta anecdotes. Bothers me a bit, like he's not contributing based on the content of the current game. That's the main thing that comes out at me on reread. Not enough for a vote at this point.
Bah, today is tough. Gonna leave my vote on noone for now.

You know. I really just have this overwhelming sense that yuma is scum right now.
I know what I said before, but this response...everything else. It feels just like how frustrated scum would react after they've had a fair amount of suspicion on them and their partner got lynched D1. He just doesn't seem to be fighting at all.
faust being killed also makes me suspicious.
So vote: yuma
That's L-1 I believe.

I'm not super against a yuma lynch at this moment, but I want to re-read before making a decision.

Thanks!
I claim serial killer.
This is why I am so just... Ugh with this game. I mean I know I am going to be lynched eventually but all for the wrong reasons.
This is actually one time that feeling actually applies. Like there is no chance that I can ever have a chance of surviving this game long enough to do much of anything. Like I am doomed to eventually be lynched because of my interactions with ashersky. So what is even the point?
At this point I know claiming this basically ensures my death, but at this point I am already dead, it is just a matter of time.
It might even mean that I am going to be lynched like right now... But mostly I am hoping that you leave me alive long enough to shoot awaclus. Cause that sounds fun to me. (Gotta get some level of enjoyment out of this game...
Plus the longer the SK is alive the longer the potentially better it is for town (to an extent) because once the SK is dead the mafia has full control of switches...
So I guess decide to do what you want. Just let me take out awaclus in the process, cause he could be mafia and well... it would just make me happy.
(this is why I asked Ichi to unvote. I didn't want awaclus to just hammer me immediately after typing this)
-
I think Awalcus is town. And you're trying to make this personal.

I think Awalcus is town. And you're trying to make this personal.
of course it is personal... I am a person.
if you don't want me to shoot awaclus then I guess just lynch me. I am going to die anyways via mafia or the vig at some point...
-
i mean I suppose I could try and be convinced to use my shot elsewhere... but then you would have to trust me to use it on that person and not on awaclus. And I can't guarantee that... But I could try to guarantee it.
-
anyways I'll be back in a bit. Let me know what you decide. But I would advice maybe having someone else unvote so that after awaclus votes for me (cause why wouldn't he) some other mafia can't just swoop in an hammer me (if the two aren't already voting for me...)

I am a complete Mafia noob, but claiming SK seems like a terrible idea, especially when you are going to kill someone who no one wants to lynch. The serial killer is scum. You are claiming scum. Why wouldn't we kill you?
And since I am trying so hard to get you killed, you will probably kill my tonight if you live on.

I see. Thanks. Oh, and I forgot to ask: are you scum, Awaclus?
-
I guess this could also be a super desperate mafia tactic too. Although I think he would claim to shoot someone less obviously town than me in that case.
Anyway, always lynch everyone who claims to play against their claimed win con.

Of course not.

I claim serial killer.
This is why I am so just... Ugh with this game. I mean I know I am going to be lynched eventually but all for the wrong reasons.
This is actually one time that feeling actually applies. Like there is no chance that I can ever have a chance of surviving this game long enough to do much of anything. Like I am doomed to eventually be lynched because of my interactions with ashersky. So what is even the point?
At this point I know claiming this basically ensures my death, but at this point I am already dead, it is just a matter of time.
It might even mean that I am going to be lynched like right now... But mostly I am hoping that you leave me alive long enough to shoot awaclus. Cause that sounds fun to me. (Gotta get some level of enjoyment out of this game...
Plus the longer the SK is alive the longer the potentially better it is for town (to an extent) because once the SK is dead the mafia has full control of switches...
So I guess decide to do what you want. Just let me take out awaclus in the process, cause he could be mafia and well... it would just make me happy.
(this is why I asked Ichi to unvote. I didn't want awaclus to just hammer me immediately after typing this)
I doubt Awaclus is Mafia, though.
I don't think your interactions with Asherksy necessarily indicate that you're his partner. However, PoE makes it a possibility. I feel for you, though. I had a similar thing happen to me as SK; because of interactions (and fake claims by Awaclus~) I was pegged as a Mafia partner. On the other hand, sorry but this is good for us.
-
WW: Vote for Yuma!

And, slow down with lynching SK

There is this switch thing, and 2 Mafia alive. SK dead means they can neutralize whatever PRs we have left every night.

Hey, it still was an investigative result on you confirming you as not town. I only fake claimed the part where I got it with my own role.

The SK is going to murder Awalcus. And Awalcus is town, he told me.

No, you claimed I was Mafia, and I wasn't.

Hitting Mafia today is probably better than hitting SK, though Yuma may likely just shoot Awaclus which is probably bad.
-
Yuma want to claim who you shot last night?
-
Hitting Mafia today is probably better than hitting SK, though Yuma may likely just shoot Awaclus which is probably bad.
Hitting Mafia is better than hitting SK. However,
1. Yuma knows this, he is Mafia and claimed SK to save his skin for one day.
2. Hitting SK is better than not hitting SK, and the town would be divided between you and Haddock.

True; we should still think it through, though, and reread under an assumption that Yuma is not Mafia.
My guess is Ichi/Haddock.

Well, maybe Hydrad. Is he even here?

No
-
Whoa k. I stepped out for a bit after I unvoted. What's going on?
Yuma's at L-1 again?
Yeah, I don't think it's traditional for scum to get last requests. I could also see him lying on this.
I'm getting all the bad feels from WW as well now--seems like a grab for town points. I'm not not going to lynch claimed scum. Plus, if Mafia want to make a kill, they can only block one PR.
-
How could this possibly be a grab for town points?
-
Yeah I may just hammer yuma to put a stop this nonsense.
SK has greater potential to block town PR's than scum ya know.
We have scum (either SK or lying Mafia--or crazy outside chance of town not playing to their wincon?) on a silver platter right now.
Don't act as if it's a choice between lynching SK and Mafia. We have no guarantee whatever other person we lynch today besides yuma will be Mafia.
PPE: It feels like you're acting townie, but what you're positing isn't actually in town's best interest.
-
I don't see Yuma lying here. Unless he's Mafia and telly thinks he can direct us towards a mislynch. But I believe him just based on tone.
I didn't know Mafia couldn't switch and kill, so that's not so bad.
-
I think not ending the day is in town's best interest, no question. It may be the case that lynching Yuma is the right thing to do.
But think of it this way, it lets us take out one person from an already small pool for Mafia.
-
Damn it. The forum's hanging for me again.
Yeah, scratch you making a grab for town points. It's more just trying to lead the game. Assuming yuma is the SK though, there are still the two mafia left. I'm not sure who WW's partner would be...
I don't think it's a foregone conclusion you're scum at this point, but I've had a scumread on you for most of this game. I didn't push it too hard though, because I wanted to continue observing your play.
PPE: this sounds more reasonable. I feel like you normally pay much more attention to the setup though. The voices are telling me this is a faked townslip.
PPE: I'll wait to hammer yuma. I still think he is and should be today's lynch, but we do have time.
-
Plus assuming Yuma is not Mafia, they never no issues lynching him pre-claim. As far as they know it's a town lynch. So wagon could be informative as well.
-
Even if it was a grab for town points, I don't see how that makes him scum. I grab for town points as town all the time.
-
Maybe we should let yuma kill you.

Phone posting, autocorrect problem.
I mean scum would get on the Yuma wagon as they would a normal mislynch. Honestly I found your vote suspicious (before he claimed), so that wont really appeal to you, but maybe I'm wrong.

Ah. I see what you mean. No, I think that makes sense. I mean, they're happy to lynch any non-Mafia person. Suspect me all you want.
I felt very wishy-washy about yuma, til I really thought hard about what he had done this game and how he had reacted to things. Of course, I was right that he's scum--but you'd ignore that. Ya know, did you ever consider I just read him correctly?
If we aren't lynching yuma today, I think I want to lynch you.

You're being inconsistent as to whether or not you're accepting the premise that lynching SK does not equate to town points.
-
Thing is we're both PoE'd so even if you're town it makes sense we'd expect each other. For me it's {Hydrad, Ichi, Haddock} and for (town) you it's {Hydrad, me, Haddock}. Yuma being out of that set is a big boon, 2 in 3 instead of 2 in 4. (Plus not having to worry about the SK, which could have been any of the unlikely-bussing-Ash-wagoners {Jimmm, Chairs, Awaclus, Gkrieg}.)
Without the blocking issue, lynching Yuma is more okay, but regardless we have a lot of information now.

I kind of understand this statement. Ah, that's because me wanting to lynch you equates to not lynching yuma today--and you could be town. I think I get it.
If you are Mafia and Awaclus isn't your partner, not lynching yuma basically gets you an extra townie dead for free: lynch town today, SK kills Awaclus, Mafia NKs town, then you lynch the SK the next day. That would also mean you'd have to manage to keep yourself and your partner from getting lynched I guess; maybe Haddock is the mislynch you want today.
Yeah. Is Hydrad VLA? Cause his absence is raising my heckles a bit.
PPE: 1
-
Yeah. So please tell me the town narrative for not lynching yuma today, cause I don't see it.
Do you think Awaclus is scum?
-
Six
people scum watching. Something gonna say something?
-
Well that's interesting. Definitely yuma should be the lynch today. We should use the whole day for discussion and to figure out what yuma wants to claim.
PPE: oh yes I'm saying something. I think I'm already voting for yuma?
-
The switch mechanic is weird without the SK because instead of PRs, we get ICs, because our PRs can just claim, and barring a counterclaim, we know they are not lying. That only works for 2 people though. Doesn't seem like a bad idea to just lynch yuma today.
-
Six people scum watching. Something gonna say something?
Sorry yeah I was just catching up. This is a weird turn of events.
I think we just talk some more here. Until deadline approaches, we can essentially treat today as if it's an extension of tomorrow's deadline, and use the time to try to catch some more scum.
I'm going to have a more careful reread and see what I think of everyone's reaction to this whole business.
-
Yeah. So please tell me the town narrative for not lynching yuma today, cause I don't see it.
Do you think Awaclus is scum?
Yuma probably should be lynched today. I, unfortunately, think that Awaclus is town.
-

Yuma probably should be lynched today. I, unfortunately, think that Awaclus is town.
I also think Awa is town this game.
-
Okay, so the question is basically "is the downside of town!awaclus being NK'd greater than the upside of scum!awaclus being NK'd?". My gut on this was "probably not", EXCEPT then I noticed this:
We're at 10 alive. If we let yuma live into the night and lynch somebody else, we probably end up with 2 x NK again. this would put us at 7 alive Tomorrow, which is generally preferable to an even number of living players. Since we can just lynch yuma Tomorrow... it might be worth doing this.
-
Since we can just lynch yuma Tomorrow... it might be worth doing this.
There's a 50/50 (maybe better than 50/50, psychology) chance yuma won't survive the night anyway. There's some switch nonsense, but the vig must surely kill yuma. Am I right in saying that the vig's NK and the scum NKs all happen together?
It may be worth mentioning that Awa's dying anyway at this point. We've all announced he's basically an IC, there's no way mafia will let him live.
So it may be there that's not much downside to letting yuma live. Awa's dead anyway, yuma dying in the night is fairly likely. If we can get some decent scumreads, maybe it's worth going for it? As long as we don't lynch the vig, we should be OK.
-
TBH my big "we should lynch yuma" argument is that I think the last time we tried to do "leave the SK alive" as Town, we ended up in a Town-can't-win position.
-
Vote: yuma
i mean I suppose I could try and be convinced to use my shot elsewhere... but then you would have to trust me to use it on that person and not on awaclus. And I can't guarantee that... But I could try to guarantee it.
Well, you're clearly not playing towards your win con, so there's absolutely no reason at all to trust you on anything.
My win con is dead and gone. Like was there ever a chance that I wasn't going to be lynched today/tomorrow or the next day?
I guess maybe a super slim chance that I could some how get out of this, lynch mafia today and then lynch the other mafia tomorrow and then you would be looking for me as the SK (and then I somehow survive that... along with PR PoE) but what are the chances of that happening?
My win con died when my scum hunting on ash was wrong... tough luck. onto the next game...
-
Yuma want to claim who you shot last night?
no. i should have shot awaclus though.
-
TBH my big "we should lynch yuma" argument is that I think the last time we tried to do "leave the SK alive" as Town, we ended up in a Town-can't-win position.
Can I ask what the context was? Cos I could go either way here. The way I see it is that lynching yuma is a solid bet, obviously good, but not automatically game-winning. Whereas if we take the risk and lynch someone we think is mafia, a hit would basically outright win us the game.
-
No way we're not lynching someone who isn't playing towards the win con they claimed. Either he's lying about being the SK, or he's doing stuff completely arbitrarily instead of playing the game. In both cases, we absolutely can't make any plans involving him staying alive and doing or not doing something, because if he's mafia, it will obviously not work out the way town intends, and if he's town or SK, he does not have any purpose in this game, and thus, his actions won't follow any kind of logic and cannot be predicted.

Taking risks is good when you're losing, bad when you're winning. Even when the expectations of the outcome are, on average, slightly better than going for the more reliable plan. It's D2 and we've already found two scum, we don't have to take the risk.
-
Plus replacing two PRs with two ICs won't be too bad for us at this point.

OK, anything from the others currently on yuma?

OK, anything from the others currently on yuma?
You mean other than me obviously not being the SK...
I mean why would I even claim that if I were the SK
I am town and claimed SK to see if I could get any sort of a reaction from the real SK before dying. So that my death would at least serve a purpose. I had hoped there would be more discussion and all of the players would participate in it. Jimmmm in particular has been obviously absent despite being online during this... So it wasn't as useful as I had hoped.
I still don't anticipate living. Lynching me is the move I would do if I were in your shoes. But still there will be something for people to go back and think about potentially after I am lynched and if/when the mafia are lynched and the SK hunting begins.
Right now I would put awaclus at the forefront of the SK likely pile. I don't really know on the mafia..., but probably WW/haddock and if not them then ichi/hydrad or chairs.
So those are my reads. If you let me live I'll try to be more useful, but I don't think that is going to happen knowing f.ds meta culture.

Like I said above... to get potentially useful information.
And no it wasn't written in stone. But it was at about... I would say 90% likely. And I had no way to stop it... I mean I defended ash. That looks scummy.
And then people voting me for opposite meta reasons... I was caught in a catch-22 and obviously felt that I was going to be lynched today. Which isn't the end of the world. Town will probably still win but my one concern is about whether or not town will be able to find the SK after getting mafia. That is up in the air.
So I thought I would use my death for something useful...

I am done analyzing you. You haven't really seemed very scummy to me. You are also quite the experienced player, and we already lost three of those. I am not going to say much else, but in my opinion, Yuma is not scum. He claimed VT as well, which is almost good enough for me.

I want to wait for the prods to go through. I want to hear from both of them and get reactions on what has happened today.
-
I am not going to vote for Yuma
-
Oh my days really?
vote: yuma.
L-1 again.
I guess this way I can sleep and still hope that Jimm and hydrad say something while I sleep. But really RR, your vote should probably have stayed where it was.
If I vote for him and he is town, will you basically confess to being scum?
-
Wow I didn't realize it had been that long. request prod on Hydrad and Jimmmmm
Prodded.
-
ah I'm here.
and I guess I'll post that I would have believe yuma is the SK. and even though he claimed against it still think there is a chance yuma could be SK but is most likely town.
apologies for being so absent.
so ya I think i'm against a yuma lynch right now
-
although I still completely understand that he probably will get lynched I guess. and if needed I would vote for him.
-
Right. I need to sleep now.
My intent to hammer stands, but I still want to wait til that prod goes through. I will be back at say 10am my time, which is 5am forum time. No idea about everyone else's timezone, but I hope that "this evening" forum time will see some activity from the people we're waiting for.
I mean... I don't want to be lynched (but at this point I am going to be regardless)... but I don't think there is any reason to wait for the prods. I mean anything Jimmmm or Hydrad have to say about me at this point is null as I have already said that I am not the SK... The game is up! So it isn't like there is anything to gain there...
Unless there is something else you wanted from them...?
I am done analyzing you. You haven't really seemed very scummy to me. You are also quite the experienced player, and we already lost three of those. I am not going to say much else, but in my opinion, Yuma is not scum. He claimed VT as well, which is almost good enough for me.
unvote
I will note that I never actually claimed VT but if I were a PR I would never have fake claimed SK in this situation. A role in this hypothetical would have been far more valuable than any info i might have hopped to obtain... I would have just claimed my role, not been counter claimed (mafia would be crazy to counter claimant this point) and we would have been on our merry way, so in this it should be obvious that yes, I am in fact a VT.
-
Well I'm back, for what it's worth. Not much happening while I was asleep, but good to hear from you, Hydrad.
-
Sorry Yuma, I don't believe you :(
I'd like Jimmmmm to check in.
-
I'm here. Still like my vote on yuma, and still planning on saying some stuff about how he dealt with the ash wagon.
-
Sorry Yuma, I don't believe you :(
I'd like Jimmmmm to check in.
That's cool. I won't hold it against you... At least until the next game where I might just accidentally (on purpose) hammer you again...
-
Vote: Haddock
-
I am very curious about Yuma's role, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna vote for him just to find out.
-
Vote: Haddock
sigh...

Vote Count 2.4
Haddock (3): Witherweaver, Hydrad, Roadrunner7671

Not Voting (2): Yuma, Ichimaru Gin
With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.
D2 ends October 28 at 12 pm noon forum time.

I'm actually surprised yuma wagon has stalled this much. If he were VT, scum and SK would be happy to hammer him. If he were SK, that is still just one party that doesn't want to see him lynched, the SK, which is himself. I'm not sure if I see yuma doing the whole, lynch me to get information thing. I'm pretty sure he is the SK.
-
I'm here. Still like my vote on yuma, and still planning on saying some stuff about how he dealt with the ash wagon.
I don't think you really need to do this. I'll concede that it was scummy. No argument there. I would argue that it was because I actually thought ash was town and doing a gambit. Well even that isn't true... I thought ash was doing a gambit and wanted to wait til he had pulled back the curtain before giving judgement. But obviously you can't know my intent so that argument is moot. So I am not going to argue against any points you make. It looks like I am getting lynched regardless of what you say, but if you really want to make these points go ahead I guess... I just don't think you need to.

Unless all three are already voting for me... Cause why wouldn't they be voting for me?
-
And why wouldn't I do the information thing?
Side note: this will be my first mislynch on me since M11... I kinda acted similar there... Well mostly I went a bit crazy and did some silly stuff, so yeah kinda similar. But the setting was vastly different. It was like day7 of a 10 day game and I had been correct on like 5 yen he's and couldn't believe they were considering lynching me. Still can't believe it in fact. But only ash was around back then...
-
And why wouldn't I do the information thing?
Because you weren't necessarily getting lynched.
-

Really...?I have the power of a Millenarian. There were no alternate realities where I was not getting lynched. f.DS meta culture ensured it.
-
And beside the only time you absolutely know someone is getting lynched is when they actually are getting lynched (enough people have voted)...
And at that point the information gambit is no longer useful. So if there was a time to do it, it was when I did. Any other time makes no sense in that I would have still thought there was a chance if not getting lynched or I was already lynched...

but it was still going to happen... on me.
So if it was going to happen on me, which it was, at still is... and if I wanted to get something out of it (information) then it needed to happen before I was actually lynched.
If I had waited for the actual lynch to happen then I couldn't have done the thing to get the information. So I needed to do it before actually getting lynched. Which could have been immediately... you and haddock both had mulled around casting the hammer vote (hadn't expressed intent to hammer but it was getting pretty close).
You are doing that thing were you don't actually listen or read to what others are saying and are more focused on your own arguments and ideas and on the idea that you must be right...
hence...

So I'm here for a bit. I'm not sure what went on in that other game(s); this almost reads like a staged argument to me though.

Ok. Well can anyone tell me what happened earlier that's being continued now?
-
And yeah, if for some reason it shouldn't be brought up, I'd at least appreciate a point in the right direction.
I don't really understand whatevers going on though except that it relates to a game that happened a while ago.

Awaclus was scum with me and ash. Ash and I claimed masons and Yuma was positive that Awa was scum, but Awaclus's job was to annoy everyone so that town got nowhere, which he did perfectly. Yuma is now and forever will be annoyed at Awaclus because no one listened to him because the two ICs were telling everyone that yuma was wrong.
PPE this happened last game.
-
So I'm here for a bit. I'm not sure what went on in that other game(s); this almost reads like a staged argument to me though.
Oh that game really has nothing to do with the here and now, just an observation of how I rarely get mislynched and me bring introspective and remembering the good old days when times were simpler crazier and people never consistently did stupid things and town town or mafia always won.
-
Or I thought you were talking about M11 reminiscents. If you are talking about awaclus/me probably best to just reverse to any points before awaclus jumped in and ask me directly...
-
So I'm here for a bit. I'm not sure what went on in that other game(s); this almost reads like a staged argument to me though.
Not much, I was just scum and yuma was town and now yuma despises me and refuses to take anything I say seriously for some reason.
PPE: Yeah, pretty much what gkrieg said too.
-
Ah ok. I appreciate the explanations. I don't spectate games (or play as much) anymore, so I know I've missed out on some meta-defining occurences.
And let's see...deadline's in three days. My test is tomorrow and this whole week is relatively busy for me. I will pretty much undoubtedly not be around right at the deadline.
I'm not as sure I want to lynch yuma anymore...I should be back in a few hours though.
-
Wow. So much theorizing of motivations of which people know nothing about...
Seems like I already talked about this today...
-
I'm basically decided on Yuma today.
-
So question that might not be useful, but I could see answers potentially having some use on a later day:
For those who think I am not town, and there are a few..., do you think I am SK or do you think I am mafia?
And "I think you could be both" doesn't count as an answer...
-
Mafia.
-
SK
-
Here is the way I see it: Yuma is not Mafia. When someone kills him, he will be a townie or the SK. If he is the SK, I was wrong but you can't accuse me of being scum because I didn't vote for him. If he is a townie, then my reads are good and no one will think I am scum.

For the future I think you should probably be less concerned, but not completely unconcerned, with how people will perceive you. Right now it seems like it is your sole focus. That isn't good.
At least that is my suggestion... Take it or leave it.

anyone else with more authority than me (obviously i have practically zero at the moment) want to force (like you could ever force him into doing anything) awaclus into answering the question...?
-
I don't think there is any point. You are obviously lying or you were lying and in this game, we should just lunch you.
-
I don't think there is any point. You are obviously lying or you were lying and in this game, we should just lunch you.
well the point is that when I am revealed to be town (which must be a possibility, regardless of how small you think it is) then you will be able to look back and potentially use people's answers... or lack of answers to hopefully help you find the SK.
It isn't like stating whether you think I am mafia or SK hurts you in anyway does it?
Like is there a toll on posting, some sort of fee? No... So if there isn't a penalty then why not just answer the question...?
-
I don't think mafia lies and says they are SK so you must be SK.
-
I don't think mafia lies and says they are SK so you must be SK.
See!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
-
and I think everyone that suspects me has answered at this point (except for awaclus, but I don't think he ever will because.... well he is awaclus...) and obviously those that don't suspect me don't need to answer... (+1 to RR, Hydrad and Ichi)
And the only one that does suspect me that isn't voting me is WW and I anticipate he will shortly, so I think that is about all that I have. I still think Awaclus is the SK.
Obviously I don't want to die, but if I am I can't think of anything else that I need to get out there. Of the people voting for me... I don't see any way to convince them otherwise. They all seem to be pretty set in their decision.
Maybe WW has something he is waiting for?
-
Mostly just waiting for all the conversation to be over; I think it's useful.
When is deadline? And is Yuma still at L-1?
-

I agree it is useful. Just saying that my wants/demands from it are pretty much filled up. If you have more, then by all means let me stay alive longer... maybe someone will change their mind?
Deadline is in 2 days. I am still at L-1... and you are the only person who isn't voting for me that said they will...
-
You want me to hammer you now? :)
-
You want me to hammer you now? :)
I don't want you ever to hammer me...
I just don't personally have anything more to say or get out of today as I think my gambit has run its course, people have talked it out. And those that have decided against me have decided against me long, long before I ever did the gambit and certainly won't be changing their minds from anything else I have to say at this point. Right?
-
I also wanted to reread your claims to see if I still feel the same.

I had just finished re-reading and concluded that I didn't see a particular reason to think you're scum before you claimed SK. But I won't be changing my mind now.
-
Or before I saw your post, rather. You had probably sent it before I finished the re-read.

That is convenient. Or untimely unfortunate.
You did say you would do a reread here:
I'm not super against a yuma lynch at this moment, but I want to re-read before making a decision.
followed by my claim here:
Thanks!
I claim serial killer.
and then I am guessing you had finished your reread by here:
Vote: yuma
i mean I suppose I could try and be convinced to use my shot elsewhere... but then you would have to trust me to use it on that person and not on awaclus. And I can't guarantee that... But I could try to guarantee it.
Well, you're clearly not playing towards your win con, so there's absolutely no reason at all to trust you on anything.
All that adds up timestamp wise, so I guess I believe you.
I for one would have liked to have seen what you had written up from that reread, but then again you just don't post stuff just for the sake of posting it do you... even though it can often end up being useful later on.
Mums the word with you...
-
Or before I saw your post, rather. You had probably sent it before I finished the re-read.
And so if I am following correctly. You say you didn't think I was scum but then saw that I had claimed SK... so that must mean that what you had thought earlier (about me not being scum) was wrong. What withholds you from being wrong this time as well?
Or are you admitting that you think I am the SK and not mafia?

Well, I didn't have a super strong town read on you either, more like null. I would have voted for Haddock over you, though. But then you were claiming a win con that you weren't playing towards, and I continue to firmly believe that everyone who does that should always be lynched.

Well I don't disagree with you about lynching people who aren't playing toward their win con. No argument there. But I would say that this whole time I have been playing to my win condition, as was shown once I revealed my SK claim to be a gambit. I want to win. However, in this game winning doesn't necessarily mean staying alive... well if town it doesn't (SK has to stay alive, mafia needs to have at least one player stay alive. But town can die off. I have won multiple times as town after dying.
In this case I saw that I was dying soon via lynch. I felt there was more benefit to try and get information out of my lynch via the gambit than there was trying to forestall the inevitable.
So if you think I am scum then vote for me at this point. But you don't get to say whether or not I am playing to my win condition. I say that I am and believe I have helped town slightly (by providing info on finding the SK down the road) and more so than I would have by belligerently fighting my impending and certain lynch.

Chairs and Awaclus both will vote for me if Yuma is mafia. I expect that. I am so confident that Yuma isn't Mafia that I am willing to risk my life.

Oh yeah maybe I didn't.
On balance I think you're mafia. Call it 65/35.

For easy access later:
Thinks I am mafia: Haddock, Jimmmmm
Thinks I am SK: Awaclus (implied), gkrieg, chairs, WW
Thinks I am neither: RR, Ichi, Hydrad
Knows I am neither: yuma
-
I reread. I can't shake my gut. Your original claim feels genuine. If you faked it, you faked it well. I guess that means your other one would have to have been you changing your mind and going for your only out, which is possible. That's not quite convincing to me, but more convincing than you staging the first one as town, or as scum really.
Anyway,
Vote: Yuma
Sorry if I'm wrong.

I don't really understand this post.
And damn, yuma really had me going for a while.
I am absolutely exhausted. However, I'll do my best to be active.
What we have left is: 1 Mafia, 1 SK, 1 Cop, 4 VTs.
It's what, D3 now? Is there any reason the cop shouldn't claim at this point?
That'll at the least narrow it down to 2 scum in 6--which is pretty good in my opinion. Certainly worth it since the cop is useless as long as the SK is alive; they're more useful as an IC at this point.
Kinda fowls up my reads since yuma was lying. I'm gonna take some time to reread. For now, vote: Hydrad. I feel fairly certain he's scum. I'm gonna have to hear more from him.
-
Reread of Hydrad (20 posts total).
#61 RVS votes me.
#78 RVS? votes faust
#141 Makes a joke about sheeping faust
#336 Apologizes for lack of activity I think, then unvotes faust.
#337 He thinks RR is town
#338 Votes Ashersky. Notable.
#340 Responding to faust telling him if he's going to vote someone because he can't read them, he should vote for Awaclus
#350 Answering a question from RR
#377 Asks what Morgrim7 was like
#386 States he thinks Jimmmmm is usually lurky.
#431 He's excited about the gkrieg wagon
#432 Votes grkieg. This reads somewhat half-hearted to me.
#443 Switches to voting faust based on yuma's case.
#550 Says he would lynch: faust, gkrieg, haddock, and ss.
#554 Still has a townread on RR because he thinks his play is difficult to fake.
#555 I don't entirely understand this one.
And that's it for D1.
D2:
#707 Votes haddock and makes a joke about the SK. I find this troublesome.
#752 He thinks WW is town. And he agrees with RR that it's hard to post real content.
#885 "He's here" he doesn't want to lynch yuma because he thinks he's town because ??? He says had he been present, he would have believed Yuma's claim to be the SK.
#886 But he's willing to vote him anyway!
And that's it. I've covered every single one of Hydrad's posts; I'm not moving my vote. This doesn't read like scummy-town-Hydrad.
This reads like scum!Hydrad lurking and posting essentially nothing the entire game.
-
Most of the active players are dead. Please let's not have this game stall out.
-
I'm here!
And hey I was super wrong. Yuma's scary... I'll keep that in mind.
I also support a cop claim? I think? even if hes found 2 VTs thats good for us. I'd only really keep quiet if everyone hes checking keeps dying. That would be sad.
-
see you should also enjoy playing with me! It doesn't take forever to reread me. Thats my gift to you guys.
-
oh ya.
Vote: Haddock
I still find him scummy.
-
Hey! No one hates me for my honest mistake! <3
Vote: Haddock
-
I also support the cop claiming. It is too bad we lost our vig. I'm gonna reread stuff, but probably won't get to it until tomorrow. I think we should probably aim to lynch the remaining mafioso. He should be easy enough to find with the interactions with yuma and ash.
-
Hey! No one hates me for my honest mistake! <3
Vote: Haddock
Sigh... I'm really running out of patience with you, RR. Given how catastrophically wrong you were about yuma, you might want to actually THINK about who you vote for, rather than just falling back on a vote that you've been sticking with since the very beginning, with no real reasoning.

So you think scum!me would be stupid enough to NK people who had found me scummy? Surely scum avoids killing people who vocally find them scummy, precisely because of this.
In any case, analysing kills seems pretty weak in this game. It's impossible to tell who was killed by the mafia and who was killed by the SK. (And to some extent who was killed by the vig, though looking at kill counts it looks like he didn't do much)
-

Actually no. Well, scum might avoid that, but if they do, it's almost certainly going to be a wasted effort because nobody will ever pay any attention to it.
-
nobody will ever pay any attention to it.
You're saying nobody ever lynches somebody because the NKs make them look suspicious?
I think that's what you're saying.
If so, well Roadrunner can't have it both ways. Either the NKs are a reason to lynch someone, in which case scum would try to avoid NKs that make them look suspicious, or NKs are not a reason to lynch someone. Either way...
I should point out that although our position looks good we're actually very nearly at mislynch and lose here. If we mislynch, then unless we get lucky with the NKs there will be 2 scum and 2 town left tomorrow. Which is an unwinnable scenario.

Well, people can get lynched because the NKs make them look suspicious, but that has less to do with reads and more to do with being on-wagon or off-wagon. For instance, if the scum NKs on-wagon after a mislynch, the off-wagons look more suspicious than they normally would. Very late in the game (like in 2v1) the reads might play some role in NK analysis too, but not really this early.
2 scum 2 town would be unwinnable if the scum were on the same team, but they're not. It's still hard to win of course, but not impossible.
-
Also, while it's certainly possible that we end up in 2v1v1 if we mislynch, it's actually a tiny bit more likely that at least one scum hits the other scum or that they both hit the same townie.
-
In 2v1v1, the odds of town winning the game are 11%.
-
In other words, we're pretty far from MyLo here. I think the cop should probably claim even if he doesn't have anything relevant to share, though; it seems like the extra odds of hitting scum today would be worth more than the possible utility of a cop later, and a cop claim also helps the scum hit each other if they want to do that, or it might lead to both of them targeting the cop.
-
Ok I'll claim. I don't know why I thought I could wait and have someone else claim, seeing as that would never happen.
im the cop. Unfortunately I targeted Faust N1 and then obviously was blocked last night.

Yeah sorry, it didn't occur to me in that situation that there's a possibility the scum will kill each other.
Forget what I said then.
OK, so assuming noone wants to counterclaim, we have our IC. gkrieg, what are your reads on people? I think it'll be good to have some stated reads out there that we know come from a town source.

Remind me what Hydrad has done that's scummy? Ichi, that's you too; if you'd rather not say don't worry, I'll reread him at some point.
Other than just not being on yuma's wagon, of course - if we lynch anyone for that it surely has to be RR.
-
Wait Ichi, sorry, I somehow completely missed your reasons for voting Hydrad. In which case I guess RR's reasons are the same as those. Forget everything.
In which case yeah I could kinda get behind a Hydrad vote. I definitely need to have a proper reread, I promise I'll get to it at some point.
-
Haddock, almost everyone had said that Yuma played really well. I don't know how valid it is to vote for me because of Yuma.
-

Notice that I'm not voting for you.
Read what I said; my statement was:
If we lynch someone, we need a reason better than "They weren't on the Yuma wagon". If that were our only reason to lynch someone then it would have to be you since your behaviour re. the yuma wagon was weirdest.
I never said that not being on the yuma wagon was a reason to vote somebody.
-
I'll get to this when I'm at a laptop.
What's wrong with desktops?

OK so now I'm rereading what I said and can interpret it either way. When I said:
if we lynch anyone for that it surely has to be RR.
I meant what I described above, namely:
if we were to lynch anyone for that it would only make sense for it to be RR.
-

-
Ok this is the reads list I have compiled.
3. Roadrunner7671 - I don't think ash would have gone for him so hard D1, and I just don't think he is scum.
5. gkrieg13 - cop
13. Chairs - hammered Ash and voted in a towny spot on the yuma wagon.
6. Haddock - Seems like the SK to me. Mainly the way that he wanted to hammer yuma, but didn't want to seem like he wanted to hammer. He has also seemed scummy to me all game, but the partner interaction doesn't fit.
7. Awaclus - He would have been bussed by both yuma and ash. The only way I think they could be partners is if yuma was trying the whole SK gambit to distance himself from Awaclus, saying he would kill him in the night. This is possible but Awaclus gets a null from me. He is the other option for SK.
9. Hydrad - off wagon for both of the scum lynches. He is the scum partner in my eyes. So much so that vote: Hydrad
10. Ichimaru Gin - Definitely not the SK. He is the other option for the partner.
-
Awaclus gets a null from me.
I mean, I guess I could be the SK from your perspective, but surely it should be pretty clear by now that I'm not mafia. Not just because both ash and yuma were voting for me — that's actually fairly insignificant because at no point I was going to get lynched anyway — but because I was voting for both of them, somewhat actively pushing the lynches too, and never left their wagons even though there were lots of chances presented and it could have made the difference too.

Sorry the null is just from SK. I'm pretty positive the third scum is between hydrad and IG.
-
Also, is your mafia read on Hydrad significantly stronger than your SK read on Haddock? Because if not, it'd be better to vote for the SK since the SK is strictly more powerful than the mafia.
-

Why more powerful?
-
Immunity to the mafia NK. Figured it out.
-
I am torn between Haddock and Hydrad. IG is a SK suspect for me.
How much time is left in this day?
Ppe
-
Chairs could also be SK. I didn't look at him from that perspective.
-
Did I really show reluctance to hammer yuma? I don't feel like I did, I made it pretty clear I wanted to hammer him as soon as his weird claim thing happened, we just waited around for some noncontributing players to say something before I hammered. And then RR pulled out.
On which note:
I'm really struggling to not find RR scummy. Everyone sees him as towny, but his behaviour re. yuma was really weird, and in fact he's done some weird things throughout. But nothing I could actually label as outright scummy, so idk. Partly I'm just annoyed by his apparent blind determination to see me lynched, it's kinda difficult for me to see past that so I'm not particularly objective.
Given that lack of objectivity I guess I would agree that my favourite lynch candidate is Hydrad; I hadn't fully processed that he was off-wagon for both lynches. But I'm not going to put him at L-1 just now, that would seem fairly reckless.
-
Immunity to the mafia NK. Figured it out.
Uh. Not necessarily unless I'm missing something.
It's just the SK can kill and also block PRs.
-
I consider everyone (aside from gkrieg) as a possiblity for the SK. I think it'll be harder to pin them down since they don't have two dead partners
who we can analyze. I'd probably start with reviewing everyone's reaction to yuma's claim.
I'll be happy lynching any scum today though.
-
Also why does everyone want to lynch Haddock this game? Was there a case back there or something that I missed?
-
oh... This is looking bad for me...
hmm I'm not scum. Don't do it. hows that for a defence
-
oh... i thought that hydrad had already posted...
one thing that helps me maybe is this post? If I was his partner would yuma forget about me? I guess it could be faked but that is an odd thing to fake I think.

Well, what is there to tell us who the SK could or could not be?
We don't have any results from our cop. The SK could be just as convincing at scumhunting for Mafia. I guess yuma's little stunt could possible give us a clue.
I don't know. I feel like people can get bogged down in possible narratives here for Mafia vs. SK and end up ignoring truly scummy behavior.

Then the real cop would and should absolutely counterclaim and then we'd have to decide between the two.
That's a pretty terrible idea in general as scum here though, because then you'd just be lynched the next day or possibly nightkilled by the other scum faction.

I think he's the only one being so quiet, everyone else is saying some stuff at least.
RR, you're crazy. You're being vocal about the fact that you think I'm going to kill you. Obviously if I'm scum I wouldn't kill you, because then I look crazy suspicious. But the other scum faction is pretty likely to kill you just to make me look scummy. And if I'm town, there's a good chance one of the scum factions kills you, again to make me look suspicious.
Either way, by suggesting that you're under threat from me, you are in fact greatly increasing the threat on yourself.
-
Hydrad is at L-1 now, right? Meh. I wanna let things run for a bit. Maybe he's the best candidate, but we've got time before we commit to anything.
I need to reread, because as I said before I'm pretty biased about RR, but I feel like most of his votes have just been sheeping this game. The only non-sheepy thing I can remember him doing is getting off the yuma wagon; which doesn't exactly redeem anything.
-

OK so my feeling about this was not particularly accurate, overall. His first ever vote was sheepy, but that doesn't mean anything. Then he gets on Ash for a while, following Awa. He didn't really give reasons but then he didn't really need to, a decent case had already been presented. He was actually the first person (by my count) to vote yuma Day 2, that definitely wasn't sheepy.
So yeah, I retract these comments.

Just checking in really.
Had a reread of hydrad, it didn't take long!
Nothing came up to change my mind about him either way. That is, I still think he's probably the best candidate, but am happy to see if something better comes up. I think the yuma thing is unlikely to be faked, so if he's scum I would think SK, not that it really matters which.
Still time for stuff to happen, but things seem to me to be slowing up. Chairs, how is the irl stuff going? Whenever you get some time I think we'd all appreciate your thoughts. I think everyone else has made themselves fairly clear, about hydrad at least.

I'd go for like chairs. or grkieg or IG next oh or awaclus I guess... hmm this wasn't very useful at all.

oh ya gkrieg is the cop!
hurrah!
hes town too now.
so town is haddock/RR/gkrieg.
I'm like... 30% sure thats right.
-
also reason haddock switched for me is the fact that hes kinda just posting and bored and stuff and just wanting the game to happen. That feels towny for me as I think scum is more likely to want to just sit in the corner and hide while I get mislynched and lurk to victory.
-

Much as I'd like to be worthy of your applause, I'm not in fact defending hydrad, just saying I think he's SK rather than mafia.
That's twice you've misunderstood something I've said and used it to as a reason to vote for me. Its starting to feel like it might be intentional. I think you'd probably be second in line for my vote, though chairs and so some extent awa have to be in there somewhere, theyre both really hard to read. Ichi is the only person I have a moderate town read on, except gkrieg of course.

You should want to lynch the SK rather than the mafia (if you are town, that is; if you're the SK, then you want to lynch mafia). The only difference between the SK and the remaining mafia at this point is that the SK might have cop immunity or NK immunity and he can both kill and switch the switches — in other words, the SK is more powerful.

Since the Cop is going to be night killed, it is very safe to assume that the SK will pick immunity from Mafia.
Uh. Pretty sure that's a one time choice.
I'm saying from now on the SK will be immune from the Mafia.

I think they pick once at the start of the game and that's it. They don't get to choose every night or in the middle of the game what their immunity is.

Yes. Given a choice, we definitely want to lynch SK first since they're more powerful than the remaining Mafia member.
Except I doubt it'll be that easy.

If someone hammers Hydrad and I get killed (me getting killed at this point is pretty unlikely, since there are people who are scummier than me and people who are townier than me, but it can happen), I'd like to explain my town read on chairs in more detail while I still can, since I seem to be the only one who thinks chairs is towny.
As I already stated, I think chairs is town. I could see him being mafia bussing his partners, but I really don't think that he's the SK. His reaction to yuma's claim exhibits a clear town narrative, possibly mafia narrative, which could be faked, but I don't think it is.
Okay, so the question is basically "is the downside of town!awaclus being NK'd greater than the upside of scum!awaclus being NK'd?". My gut on this was "probably not", EXCEPT then I noticed this:
We're at 10 alive. If we let yuma live into the night and lynch somebody else, we probably end up with 2 x NK again. this would put us at 7 alive Tomorrow, which is generally preferable to an even number of living players. Since we can just lynch yuma Tomorrow... it might be worth doing this.
I'm not even sure what he's trying to say with the top part of his post, and then he changes his mind mid-post and concludes that the guy who just claimed SK shouldn't be lynched. I super don't see the real SK reacting like this, and it feels genuine enough. After the last mafia gets eliminated from the game, I think it should be fairly safe to treat chairs as a bad lynch. If you don't think that chairs busses both of his partners like he did, you should probably already have a town read on him IMO.

I just want to say I love this post from you. This is really great deduction. Even if it will annoy me when we're finally on opposite teams, I want to see more of this kind of post from you.
Also, I think making virtual ICs is Towny, so townread on Awaclus from this.

I can't really defend myself to well I don't think. I can't find much this game that I have done well. So I'm kinda accepting that I'm getting lynched but then once people see i'm town they will be able to see that my reads were genuine. And right now you are scummy to me through POE basically. I'm finding towny reasons for most people except you. I could be wrong but thats my reasons.

Well that's fair enough I guess. Eh, I always seem to be on the wrong side of reading you.
Of course I don't agree that I haven't been townie. I've put a lot into this game considering how much time I have.

OK I've had a final read. Hydrad looking a bit townier in his recent posts, but it's too little too late I think.
I'll hammer.

Well that puts the targets on Haddock, Awaclus, and IG. Lynch order for tomorrow I would put IG >>> Haddock > Awaclus. It is alarming how many people weren't voting at the end of the day and that Hydrad was the only wagon. I guess that should have told us something. Good luck guys.

phon post. I'm super busy today and tomorrow. have more time Friday. And Awaclus comes out of the gate swinging.
I can also guarantee he is absolutely wrong because I know my own alignment. Only one kill last night is great though. theres no way we could win if scum had killed two town last night.
-
theres no way we could win if scum had killed two town last night.
As Awa said, there was technically a way we could have won in that scenario, but it was fairly unlikely. So this is as good as it gets right now.
Obviously people can "guarantee" things, but there's no such thing as proof right now, no matter what RR says. Without cop results we're relying pretty much entirely on reads.
-
Uh how? I if people don't play to their wincon or we lynch town today and scum NK each other?

This is good to know. I have a mild town read on you as well, mostly gut. But we had two confirmed townies who thought you were scummy before they flipped, so if nothing better comes up I may have to vote for you eventually. We need to lynch someone today (otherwise I think there's only a 25% chance that town is still in a winnable position tomorrow).
My biggest scumfeel is RR, as it has been for a while, I'd certainly rather lynch him than you. Not based on much though; really I need to reread everyone, I'll get to that at some point.

Quote from RR removed
I super don't care about any of that. You should point out some posts of yours that show beyond doubt that you had the information a townie has and the win con a townie has in mind while writing that post. If you can't, there's no reason to believe that you are town.
-
Also, even if you are a townie, lynching you definitely isn't going to cause town to lose. If we lynch a townie, we enter the night with 2 townies, 1 SK and 1 Mafia. I think the scum actually want to target each other here, but even if they shoot randomly, it is more likely than not (~56%) that at least one of them gets killed by the other. Then it's just a regular 2v1 situation, which is still pretty winnable.
-
On the other hand, if you are scum, lynching you is definitely going to cause your faction to lose.

At this point there isn't anything I can say to change Awaclus's opinion. I don't know how to cross-quote.
I have acceptes my fate, even though I am a Vanilla Townie.
-
At this point there isn't anything I can say to change Awaclus's opinion.
Well, if that is true, then it must be true only because you're scum. If you are town, you should have posts where you exhibit a thought process that townies have and scummies don't, and you should be able to point them out too.

Well, as you keep pointing out, you're not really that new to Mafia any more. This is your first game, yes, but it's also arguably your third game or something. (Since you've now finished two other games).

Ok. Here for a bit. Pretty busy day.
You can talk about games that are officially over. You can't mention any ongoing games. I'm not sure if any of the games mentioned were ongoing, if none are, it's alright.
I feel like RR's fatalism is kinda townie. My bet is scum is Awaclus and chairs.
Maybe everyone should post the two people they think are scum and/or which scum they think they are.
-
I agree with Chairs, but everyone else is a candidate for now.
I'm sleeping now, in the morning I will probably be at L-1.

Sorry about that, yeah. I assumed that since RR had been referencing them that they must be over and therefore fair game. No more mention of that then.
I'm sleeping now, in the morning I will probably be at L-1.
Noone's even voting for you right now! This is such a weird thing to say. You know I find you scummy, sure, but for what it's worth I think Awa talking to you is more just Awa playing devil's advocate, like he does. And neither he nor I are voting for you right now, so stop panicking.
Maybe everyone should post the two people they think are scum and/or which scum they think they are.
I'm up for this, but like I said I want to reread everyone first. Will do that tonight.

OK. So. Rereading:
Roadrunner.
Weird - kinda goes without saying.
Almost never explains his votes, which is frustrating but then he hasn't been horribly off-target so whatever.
Seems to think that everything he says should be accepted as perfect truth by everybody.
D1: Is completely ignorant of how mafia works. Pushes faust early for no reason. Claims VT, super weird. Ends up on the right place (ie. early on the ash wagon), which given how quickly that developed is definitely a not-mafia-tell.
D2: Is completely ignorant of how mafia works. First to vote for yuma. Superinconsistent in his discussions of gkrieg, finds him scummy then doesn't then does etc. (possible town tell?) Then randomly jumps off the wagon just as yuma gets hyperscummy. Realistically this must surely be TOO obvious a play for RR to ever be mafia.
D3: Is completely ignorant of how mafia works. Not much to say about D3.
D4: Is completely ignorant of how mafia works. Is also totally panicking.
In sum: No way is RR ever mafia. It's just not possible. The interactions with ash and yuma just make it so unlikely. So he might be SK, but on rereading I don't find him as scummy as I thought. His biggest towntell is that he doesn't really seem to pay very close attention to the game. But he still might be SK. One thing is how quickly he matched up NKd players with players who found me scummy. I think that might be a mild SKtell, I can maybe see an SK killing people who've been vocal about a particular player, to try to push suspicion onto them.
Awa:
I'm not gonna split him day by day, he hasn't had as much to say as RR. One thing: he's been terrifyingly right all game. Like all of the people he's properly pushed to lynch have been scum, and vice versa. So either he's town/SK and epically on point, or he's been playing the boldest mafia line I can imagine. I don't think the second is likely. Says he's definitely going to vote RR then doesn't do so, which inconsistency might be a town tell? Suddenly massively vocal today, which is weird for him. But I dunno. MAYBE he's the SK, but as much as anyone can read Awa I read him as town.
Ichi:
Aw man this is sad. I had something of a town read on him, just from gut, but I'm having to change my mind slightly now. I could see him as the mafia partner, probably not the SK.
His biggest real towntell is inconsistency re. a few people, me being one. But he's been very wrong with all of the things. Not on the ash wagon (which doesn't mean much in fairness, that was so so quick). Not on the yuma wagon, which reads scummy to me, and pushed for Hydrad's lynch fairly hard.
I still don't read Ichi as superscummy, but where previously I couldn't have seen him as mafia, now I could.
Chairs:
Lurky as hell. 28 posts total. Of those, 3 are an unexplained vote and nothing else, 3 are an unexplained vote couched in some small discussion of stuff not related to the vote, and 1 is him going v/la. So yeah, that's a quarter of his posts done. Has said absolutely nothing today! Yeah chairs is scummy, sorry. He could be either, but I think SK is slightly more likely.
-
Wow I got like a four paragraph essay.
I think the day will end with a Chairs kill, if he flips SK I will die at night, if he flips Mafia Haddock will probably die at night. Then it'll be a 2v1.
-
Wow I got like a four paragraph essay.
That's because you've just posted SOO much this game :P

Here for a bit. I was asleep when Ash got lynched. I'm guessing my terrible reads are why I'm still alive. I don't know. I make it to endgame pretty often these days I guess.
I want to lynch chairs...but not until we at least hear something from him. We have very little leeway here. Did he get prodded or something?
-
I was asleep when Ash got lynched.
Yeah I tried to say that wasn't part of my reasoning. Ash's lynch went from not even looking likely to happening in about 3.5 hours, anyone can be forgiven for missing it.
I want to lynch chairs...but not until we at least hear something from him. We have very little leeway here. Did he get prodded or something?
Yeah. It's been 5 days since he posted. Request prod on chairs

Chairs prodded.

And how am I so weird, Haddock?

And how am I so weird, Haddock?
You just are. I think I'm not alone in thinking this. You've just done a lot of weird stuff and said a lot of weird things this game. I suspect this may end up being your meta, just like inscrutability is Awa's. I'm not saying you're scummy-weird, you're just weird.
-
Ah hell, I'm a jerk. I didn't realize I was still playing, and haven't been keeping up. Sorry about that.
Anyway, we've got... 1 mafia, 1 sk, 3 town?
I think it's SK!RR and Mafia!IG... Maaaayyybeeee SK!Awaclus.
Haddock reads towny to me from the bits I've read over.

Bah I dunno. I feel like that is such an easy thing for scum to say if they've been lurking like crazy.

I'm going to be known for being weird?
I suppose there are worse things.
I still want to lynch chairs.

No, Ichi, you are the scums.

Uh. People are only a single faction. Even if I was scum of one stripe or another, it's entirely possible you are as well.
Your purposefully unexplained assurance of people's alignments is even more frustrating when it's directed at myself--and I know it's incorrect.
It makes sense the new players are still alive, but what about you and me? We're kinda the last players still actively participating that have been around for more or less a while.
Maybe I don't want to lynch chairs today. Maybe it's between you and me. Chairs could just be lurking and left alive because scum think's he's a good fall man for them.

Deadline is no longer absolutely miles away, and we need a lynch today.
I still don't know which of chairs and Ichi I want to lynch more, but am leaning slightly towards Ichi right now.
Need some more input from you, chairs, I think.

It's clear no one is making decisions based upon anything rational that they would like to share with the rest of us.
I would also like to hear more from chairs.
When I flip town, if there's even town left tomorrow, I think you should lynch Awaclus.
-
It's clear no one is making decisions based upon anything rational that they would like to share with the rest of us.
That's a pretty unfair statement. Unless you're aiming it solely at Awa, in which case, yeah, his reasons remain fairly unclear. Thing is, that seems to me to be completely within his meta.

It's clear no one is making decisions based upon anything rational that they would like to share with the rest of us.
That's a pretty unfair statement. Unless you're aiming it solely at Awa, in which case, yeah, his reasons remain fairly unclear. Thing is, that seems to me to be completely within his meta.
I appreciate the reread you did, but you didn't say much about me. I wasn't on the yuma wagon, and I pushed for Hydrad very hard.
I maintain that Hydrad was incredibly scummy, and if he wasn't lynched then, we'd be lynching him now. I couldn't make up my mind about yuma, but Awaclus thinks I'm the SK and you think I'm mafia? That's about the level of congruence I'd expect given I'm town and people are semi-understandably grasping at straws for who to lynch today.
-
I appreciate the reread you did, but you didn't say much about me. I wasn't on the yuma wagon, and I pushed for Hydrad very hard.
The yuma thing was the main explicit thing from the reread that pushed me towards scummy for you. Other than that it was just having another look at the feel of your posts.
But what really gets me is that L-1 on chairs. I think there was a real derphammer risk, and I'm not sure I buy that a player as experienced as you didn't realise it was L-1.

That's somewhat fair I guess. I mean, I've played like a lot of games here, but I'm not known to be the most aware lol.

What a glorious example of a content filled post.
Is no one scared that I'll be derphammered now?
I will be seriously ticked if I get mislynched over obv!scum. It's clear chairs has no interest in actually contributing to this game. But why should he when he can clearly get away with what he is doing.
-
I have to go to sleep soon. School tomorrow.

I told you chairs was town.

Also, now that the last Mafia is dead, I think RR is also town. So that means I must have been correct about Ichi being the SK, too. Vote: Ichi
-
I don't know, man...
-
Great, now I know that you're town for sure.
-
Anyway, I think it should be a lot clearer than "I don't know, man..." which one out of me and Ichi is the SK. I mean, just read him at the end of yesterday. Nothing screams caught scum more than that.
-
It's clear Awaclus is pretty desperate here. It's up to you RR. Yes my reads have been pretty poor this game, but that in no way entails I am scum. Awaclus on the other hand has been "right" about a lot of people so far, so why wouldn't scum kill him? My guess is Haddock tried to last night, but Awaclus is immune.
I trust you to make the right decision. Don't be railroaded into making a hasty one; there's time to think about this.
-
Oh. And vote: Awaclus as well. RR is IC since he would have hammered me for the win if he was SK.

Why would Haddock want to kill me? The SK is much more dangerous for him.

Quick lynch Ichi now so I can win! Well, responding to be calling called desperate by accusing your accuser of being desperate sounds pretty desperate to me.
And yeah, that's kind of the point. You're the SK, so he tried to kill you but you're immune. Plus you killed him I guess--so he was right to be afraid of you.
-
Awaclus on the other hand has been "right" about a lot of people so far
Also this is a scum slip because you know I've been right about a lot of people so far. If you were town, it would be 50/50 or worse (depending on if you count my pretty much null read on Haddock as being wrong about him or not).

What the heck man. I can't believe the straws you're grasping at. I can see all the people that have flipped so far ok--and I know where you were on those wagons/what you voiced about them.
What would be 50/50?
-
Quick lynch Ichi now so I can win!
Indeed. You're the last threat to town so all of town wins if we quick lynch you now.
Well, responding to be calling called desperate by accusing your accuser of being desperate sounds pretty desperate to me.
The case against me is incredibly weak, you know that it's incredibly weak, and that super shows from your posts. There is no reason for me to be desperate.
And yeah, that's kind of the point. You're the SK, so he tried to kill you but you're immune. Plus you killed him I guess--so he was right to be afraid of you.
He had a town read on me, he wouldn't kill me if he wanted to kill the SK.
-
What would be 50/50?
So you know that it's not really 50/50. Well, since you want to know what it would be, it would be wrong about Hydrad, RR and you, right about ash, yuma and chairs. But that's not what it is. Instead it's wrong about Hydrad and RR, right about ash, yuma, chairs and you, i.e. 2/3, i.e. a lot of people as you put it.
I can't believe the straws you're grasping at.
Indeed, you don't believe that I'm grasping at straws.

No. Only you specifically win since you're the SK.
Being a broken record doesn't make what you're saying true. You haven't even said one statement about why you think I'm scum beyond "I think Ichi is scum/SK", thought it's clear you're forced into that narrative now.
Don't pretend that scum tells the truth. Haddock knew it would be more difficult to lynch you due to sentiment at the time, so he went for a lynch of me or chairs. He decided to try and take you out at night instead.

50/50 reads in this game are above average. If you lynch scum 50% of the time, that's pretty frickin good.
How am I supposed to know what you mean when you say "it" would be 50/50. I haven't analyzed your reads as well as you have obviously.
I know where you were on the Ash and Yuma wagons though. You were wrong about Hydrad.
How are you counting your reads that changed over time? It's hilarious to pretend as if I actually calculated every single last read you ever had and should know the exact percentage you were right or wrong about.
Your insistence on twisting people's words isn't helping you.
-

Oh, the irony.
You haven't even said one statement about why you think I'm scum beyond "I think Ichi is scum/SK", thought it's clear you're forced into that narrative now.
Because I re-read the game the other day. I'm sure you would have loved to know what in particular makes it so obvious, so you could have stopped acting that way, but the fact that you still keep acting like the SK is far more valuable to town than any explanation.

You can say that, but there isn't really any reason to believe that is actually the case.

I'm only counting reads that I had at the time when they were proven to be right or wrong.
I don't really believe it when you say that you weren't aware of all of the relevant reads. You admit you knew where I was on the wagons, and I referred to the rest of them today (mentioning that I was right about chairs and you, and implying that I was wrong about RR).
How is "twisting" your words not helping me? Surely it helps me if I make it easier for RR to see your thought process even though you're trying to hide it.
-
It's also funny how the entirety of your argument against me is that I'm desperate and grasping at straws. You know, there is no reason for me to be desperate and grasping at straws if there is no other argument, so that kind of proves itself false already.

This is one of your more coherent posts.
The reads I mentioned were the ones I paid attention to--the wagons you were on.
It's so clear that you like playing with language and changing what people say for fun. That's fine. Don't pretend as if that's not true though.

^you mentioned irony.
What's your argument? You're distracting from your own lack of narrative against me (I'm sure you'll accuse me of the same).
I exist, I'm town, RR hasn't hammered me. ergo you're the SK.
-

Give it up already. Stop pretending like you have a narrative against me. You need to convince RR I'm scum.
Hiding your "obvious" case against me is absolutely hurting you there.
But oh the lulz, "wouldn't you like to know?". I don't care. I'm calling your bluff.
-

The difference is that it's not your town meta to do this. You can pretend to know that I'm the SK, but it won't make it true, and it doesn't really put any pressure on me since not only do I know for sure that it's fake, it's also immediately obvious from your posts that it's fake even to someone who doesn't know.
-
You need to convince RR I'm scum.
But now you're doing it for me.

How so?
It's you or me buddy.
If it's as obvious as you say so, RR would have hammered me by now.
You're trying to play it cool, but you tried to pull a fast one while I was asleep and RR wasn't buying it. So where does that leave you?
Seriously. We can't put any more pressure on each other; the only reason I think you're threatened is cause RR didn't go along with you like you thought he would.
RR's vote is all the matters now. I'm not sure I'm gonna get drawn into this conversation more. I'm actually surprised this is all you can sling at me.
I'll wait til RR gets back, maybe keep posting if you say anything beyond bluffs and mockery.

I'm not lying and it's working way better than I thought it would. Anyway, if you really want me to put the final nail in your coffin, here goes.
I think chairs is scum, probably the SK.
There's no way that anyone who was genuinely SK-hunting would make this kind of statement about chairs without hesitation. Chairs was obviously not the SK, and the only way you could have believed that is that you thought he was faking his reaction to yuma's claim. You didn't say you did, you just said that you think he's probably the SK for no reason at all. That follows from the thought process "how can I have a SK read on someone even though I'm really the SK myself", not from "how can I really find the SK".
In various posts D3, you put a ton of emphasis on how it's not easy to find the SK. That also follows from the thought process of knowing that you yourself are the SK.
Only one kill last night is great though. theres no way we could win if scum had killed two town last night.
And finally, here, just like Haddock did the day before, you prove that your thought process does not involve "how can town win the game".
-
Unfortunately, I don't have a device that can record video (other than capturing my computer screen with software), but I can post a recording of my voice if you want that.
-
Also, don't flip a coin. Re-read the game instead. Flipping the coin gives Ichi a 50% chance of winning the game, he suggested it because he knows 50% is better than what he would have if you actually made a decision based on reads.

I'm happy you finally told me and this is all it was.
I thought chairs was the SK because of his lurking; I didn't consider his reaction to yuma's claim that much. That strategy was working out well for him and seemed like what SK!chairs would do.
I'm a cautious player. I'm more about minimizing losses than maximizing gains.
It's still up to RR, and I find this big reveal pretty disappointing.

-

That's because you're the SK. You said that you read the reactions to yuma's claim, it doesn't sound very likely that you would do that and then proceed to not consider them at all.

I have reads ok; I don't always explain them fully.

Make your decision RR. Reread. Do what you need to.
The truth is there. Don't underestimate Awaclus, he's a far better scum player than I am.

I'd probably start with reviewing everyone's reaction to yuma's claim.

OK, so we're playing Online mafia here. I would have disallowed this, except Awaclus already posted a clip. But please, don't push the boundaries any further on this.
Posting your own video is fine -- using a position of leverage to require others to do so isn't.

You have a nice voice. I mean that sincerely.

I ended up removing the clip and the picture. Personal content, whether they're videos, clips, pictures, etc., shouldn't be used to influence the game, as players who wish to keep their personal lives and F.DS lives completely separate shouldn't be put at any disadvantage.
There's no community rules on this subject, but I'm disallowing personal content for the rest of this game. This includes pictures, videos, and sound clips. Non-personal content such as pictures, youtube videos, etc., are still allowed. If in doubt, just PM me and ask!
We can discuss this more as a community after the game. Until then, happy scumhunting!

People are being way to unwilling to lynch people for having bad reads. "Clueless town" exists, but scum always tries to appear "clueless" so they can mislynch and not be blamed.

Sorry if that statement came across in a wrong way. I still think the vote looked bad given your activity, but maybe others feel differently.

As you can probably tell for those who read my qt, I was absolutely not expecting to win given this player configuration for the final day.

If I didn't say enough in my qt, just wanted to reiterate how well I thought Haddock played this game. Was it really his first one?

In case anyone wants to hear my audio clip, it's here (it's also in the speccy it seems, but now it's also here): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16948609/iamnottheserialkiller.wav
Also, there's no way it would have been problematic. I did actually record myself saying that phrase, but most of what you hear is actually a synthesizer, and the part that is my voice has been heavily edited (pitch-shifted and formant-shifted) and mixed. I made it still kind of sound like myself just in case either Ichi or RR remembered what my voice sounds like from my Dominion streams and noticed the difference, but I totally could have made it sound like anything I wanted.
-
It is problematic because one person had the capability and willingness to communicate in a medium that is not original to the platform being played on when the other player was willing and had the capacity.
Whether or not it sounded like you has nothing to do with it.
-
I wasn't really communicating anything, it was just the phrase I was told to say.
-
Sorry for suggesting that!
As usual, I didn't know.
And I read all the QT messages that said 'RR' in them. Just a bunch of talk about how you have to treat me like a child, how I am 'very strange' and that I was without a doubt scum.
-
If I didn't say enough in my qt, just wanted to reiterate how well I thought Haddock played this game. Was it really his first one?
Thanks Ichi. Yes it was my first game.
I screwed up though.
I was like 70% certain that if one of you/chairs was SK, it was you.
So I should have just hammered you. But I overthought it. I can't remember my exact thought processes, but it was something like:
If I hammer chairs and am wrong about it, the consequences are much less bad than if I hammer you and am wrong about it. My thinking was that it should have been fairly obvious to you (maybe it was, haven't read your QT yet) that I was scum, and as an NK-immune SK I thought it was to your advantage to hit town, since you were likely (at least I thought you were!) to lose a 2v1, whereas a 1v1v1 was winnable.
Anyway, well played, you did well to convince RR at the end there!
-
I did kinda want town to win there (sorry Ichi - but you did kill me!). Knowing who the SK is and waiting to see who's right is just torture.
This is gonna sound weird because everyone here thought Awa was scum, but I really didn't see him as at all scummy! Everything was firmly within his town meta as far as I could see...

Ummm.. EPIC edit fail :-[

Good game Ichi!
Also, great game Haddock. You had a tough road and rode it well.
I still contend that going after RR on D1 wasn't scummy. In before "Lynched for the wrong reason!"

mh :/ Have I mentioned that I don't like SKs?
but nvm that - great game IG!

So, I think there should be a rule in the base mafia ruleset disallowing any spoken or handwritten or recorded messages of any kind for the future. Thoughts?

I reckon that's a suggestion that should probably be made somewhere more central? I agree it's a good idea, but it probably needs a thread or something of its own.

I mean, not if everyone agrees anyway, then ash can just add it.

Oh and Ash, my question about your name - it wasn't meant as anything other than an innocent question, whatever IG thought (;P). You never answered it, not that it matters much. No obligation of course, you might not want to say. :D
PPE: Well yeah but everyone here agreeing is not the same thing as everyone who plays mafia on f.ds agreeing. Not that I think anyone's likely to disagree, realistically.

What's your question about my name?

I'm adding something to my basic set of rules, which I believe a lot of mods use.

Righto. Sorry, I had the mistaken impression that there was something a bit more central. But yeah I totally agree that it should go in there.
What's your question about my name?
When I say it in my head, I don't know whether to pronounce it "a-SHER-skee" or "ASH-uhr-skai". Or something else.
-
It's Asher + Sky.
Ash as in the remnants of fire + er like in worker or erskine + sky as in the big blue above your head.

That is what I thought.
And yet I fairly often parse it otherwise. Brains suck. It's like epitome. I KNOW it's pronounced uh-pit-o-me. But I constantly parse it as eppy-tome.

Things are now officially personal.
Congrats on losing your first game!
Losing isn't the big deal.
I'm torn up because it literally came down to me and I made the wrong decision. I am the only one the town and Mafia can blame.

Hey, I screwed up too. Don't beat yourself up too much. First game and all. Nobody (except Awaclus, maybe! :P and it's easy for him to say, stuff looked obvious to him because he came from a position of perfect information) thinks you made a bad choice (even though it happened to be wrong) at the end there, as you said everybody in the speccy thought Awa was the SK. Only the mafia knew different (if they looked at the Mafia QT).
I was saying the Speccy, I think it's awesome that the two final lynches were performed by the newbies. The fact that both were wrong is pretty hilarious.
I have also been meaning to say, I hope you didn't take anything I said in the entire game at all personally. It suited my agenda to paint you as totally useless, which wasn't true.

I'd disagree with both of you :P
One can certainly blame other people. Like, everyone who got mislynched plus everyone who has been on any mislynch can be blamed (if anyone was actually interested in blaming others, which no-one seems to be). But just because you made the final decision doesn't make it any more important than any previous decision in the game, in fact every mislynch is arguably about equally import.
As the 3d guy at LyLo, you already played well insofar as you haven't been lynched yourself - both others immediately assumed that you're town. If that hadn't been the case, then town would have had to pick the right guy out of 3 instead of 2.
I don't think it's quite fair to say that 'no-one thinks you made a bad choice' either, though, I think you probably did make one, although I haven't reread enough to be sure. And you did have more time left that you didn't use. But I'm not even sure if this particular lynch is more your or Awaclus' fault.
tl;dr much less black and white and a lot of gray.

as a spectator i was 100% convinced awaclus was the sk.

This is kinda my point. Several people were vocal in the speccy about their absolute belief that Awa was the SK, and would have supported RR in his decision to lynch Awa. It turned out to be the wrong decision, but I'm just saying that RR wasn't alone in being fooled. I would consider it extremely hypocritical if anyone who said in the speccy that Awa was definitely scum decided now to come out and criticise RR. SS, I'm not saying that you did that, I don't know if you said anything of the kind in the speccy.
Ultimately, it's just a game and RR shouldn't rip himself to pieces about it. Learn from it, sure, but let's not go mental.

I think I give the speccy thing less weight than you do (i.e. almost none), because it's just a few people who might not be representative and who are not necessarily invested in the game. I tend to only skim games after dropping out; if I read too closely it'll only make me wish that I could still interfere. Maybe others to it differently.
I think the deciding point is whether or not RR would have reached a different conclusion had he spend more time on it, which I don't know.

Well yeah, that was sort of my point too. Lots of mistakes and good and bad and mediocre plays are being made every mafia game, and beating yourself up over this particular one (which might not even be a mistake) isn't a good idea.

Going after RR wasn't scummy, this was:
I can't wait for the obligatory IG vs. faust fight.
When you two are scum together, it'll be neat to see if you can fake it.
Calling it now, the scum team is IG, faust, ashersky. And silverspawn.
1. I'm never scum.
2. This post is way, way, way off tone for you, Awaclus.
3. IG/faust/SS is possible.
I literally didn't care what you did after this post, it was enough to convince me that you were scum.

It was obvious to me that Ichi was the SK on D4 already. It's way beyond my comprehension why anyone would find anyone more scummy than him. Mislynching on D4 turned out to be the right decision after all since you were the last mafia and this way you got killed, otherwise you probably wouldn't have gotten lynched, but I still think that with the information we had at the time, a chairs lynch was even worse than my mislynch D5; while I don't think there was any reason to think that I was the SK, there was an incredibly good reason to think that chairs was town.
-
I voted for Ashersky. Why?
He wantes to kill me. I knew I was town. By going aftet me, whether he was town or not, he was not helping the town. If you're not helping the town, why keep you alive?
-
tbh I was pretty sold on scum!haddock and scum!IG and I should've called it before my mislynch happened. I'm sorry about the naked vote, I was kind of in a rush.

Agreed.
I was fairly certain chairs was town and ichi the SK even as I hammered chairs, which is why I'm so annoyed at myself (some of my poor reasoning for such madness is described above). Massive error. I think if ichi had been lynched, I would have killed you, and probably not been lynched on the final day, I back myself to convince RR that chairs is scum there.
