The Rules:

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

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

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

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

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

I have worries that having half the players be unable to do anything for half the game might negatively impact overall activity.

Post by: MiX on August 18, 2020, 09:51:22 am
Is it known who's in each timeline from the start? That seems like a trivial thing to test, and seems extremely important to how the day phase works.

Do timelines swap around each end of night, or is it unknown when they do?

So half on the players will never be able to vote for the other half? Because if X can only vote while on the Active Timeline and can only vote for the others on said timeline, then X can never vote for someone on the other timeline.

Timeline announcement is trivial. But It will be announced start of Day 1.

Set up states "timelines run Start of day to end of that Night phase"

Let's just call this a PSA - It is a closed set up, so I cannot promise that I can answer everything. However, I can promise that any concerns regarding balance, or just standard mechanics, have been thought through.

Absolutely not promising it all won't go to hell :P but I am confident that the game will be fun, and I know LL and I have gone through and changed stuff ten times over to make sure the set up works and is fair.

So pretty much - if you have questions, please ask, I will answer what I can. I will probably just be ignoring most of the comments regarding the set up however until the game is concluded. Everything you need to know is in the OP.

Can day actions target players from both timelines?

Yes. Active only is for the “user”, the target can be anyone. The only targeting restriction is regarding voting.

I can’t sell you on the set up but I 100% know that games are better with you in them and I always look forward to playing with you. There are QT partners and you are on my short list of QT-partner faves so, you know, there’s that.

Is the idea then to get this in overlapping BSG? (since BSG will have multiple seasons?) Actually, fause if you're seeing this, can you remine me/us what the expected timeline for future seasons is?

Post by: Swowl on April 20, 2021, 06:25:03 pm
Just saw on the Star Gate thread that faust is planning to leave 1-2 gap between BSG games.
The plan now is to launch this game towards the conclusion of BSG-Season1.
Let me know if there are any issues with that.

No problem from my end.  Can time Stargate near the end of this, if BSG Season 2 isn't starting up.  Otherwise, can wait for the next break.

Post by: Swowl on April 27, 2021, 04:21:52 pm
Okie dokie. With the conclusion of BSG Mafia - Season 1, this will now be starting shortly.

1. Hypercube is the only one to not confirm in some fashion thus far. I will be granting them 48 hours from now (PM sent) to get back to /in. Within that 48 hour time window (ending roughly 5pm on April 29th) I will be taking the first /in IFFFF Hypercube does not confirm... if they do, they get first ups.

2. If Hyper does not confirm and no one else /ins, the game will run as a 15 player game.

3. If Hyper or someone else does /in, the game will run as a 16 player game.

4. Because of the difference in player potential, and the fact it was originally written for 18 players (lol), I will need 2-3 days to edit after this 48 hour window.


TLDR - Let's just say PMs will be going out on Monday, May 3rd.

Moving game to Mafia Game Thread.

PLEASE NOTE - The OP has been updated. When re-creating the game a balance change had to be made - The Timeline QTs were completely randomized instead of paired at random with a player of the opposite timeline.

Where are we...? What is going on?
The Town looks around confused at one and other trying to... remember.
No one is certain of who anyone else is. Or who they are themselves.
Someone screams! They hold out there arm and there is a tattoo. It reads: "Remember, there are killers among us".


Welcome to Memento Mafia. Sorry for the wait on the launch.

Hi all!

I'm assuming if we are not active timeline and we vote it won't show up in a vote count. Or if we are voted on, it also won't show up? Or would it?

Depending on how that is handled, it would just be easier if we all just revealed. But maybe the mod will answer:

If I am not in the active timeline and I vote, will that show up as a vote in the vote count?
If I am not in the active timeline and I get voted, will that show up as a vote in the vote count?

I think we should, otherwise we basically give up D1. I'll start: I'm Reverse Timeline.

I'll trust you're not the same pps when I see it. I'm looking forward to it.


I was going to vote, when I realized it would just out that person's timeline even if they don't want to. I can't even RVS :(

The only reason it might've been useful to keep secret is when Timelines QTs were going to be one frward and one backward, but since they're randomized anyway...

I'm Forward Timeline. So see everyone D2!

One clear downside of timeline claiming is that it allows scum to target the PRs that can be active that Night with roleblocking, killing etc.

So here is my plan: noone votes. Instead, we use italics to Vote: xy. I agree to do vote count for italic votes. If a majority of living players agrees on an exile, then the people in the active timeline try to exile them. Otherwise, there will be no exile.

More time for PRs to operate, less info revealed to scum. Also, with only 8 people able to vote, town would have to vote almost unanimously in order to successfully exile scum, and that doesn't seem likely.

My plan is to play D1. Your plan is to not play D1. My plan is to attempt to exile scum (and also exile scum), your plan is not to exile at all.

but if you wish to expand on why you think it is anti-town, I would be interested to hear reasons.

Your plan throws away 2 days of voting if we decide on the second day that we want to exile someone of the non-active timeline (and 1 day regardless). By that time, why would it be easier to kill scum? We would just be thinning our numbers.

This is not my plan. Indeed, my plan allows everyone to play D1 rather than half the players. My plan has a good chance of finding an exile. And no exile D1 in an RMM is not terrible. D1 has a high chance of misexiles, and misexiles are way worse here than normally. If scum ever ends up controlling just one timeline, we have most likely lost because we can never exile scum from that timeline.

I did not realize timeline were not guaranteed to alternate. That does change things to some extent.  Also I should have reread the timeline rules before I claimed because I was confused- I thought night actions against characters in the other timeline would fail, which is not the case.

The thing is, for the game to proceed, eventually we’re going to have to figure out who can vote for who. The exile is how town wins, and taking day 1 off really feels like kneecapping ourselves. It’s not just about exile or no exile- Faust’s italicized votes won’t really carry the weight of real votes when we analyze them later. Scum knows what timeline  their partners are on, so this gives them cover to go after each other without risking an actual exile. If we go with Faust’s plan, I don’t think it’s going to leave us with a lot of actionable info going into D2, even if we get a flip.

Post by: Glooble on May 05, 2021, 06:48:19 am
Put another way, I think when we try to take people to task for their votes later, a vote is going to be a lot easier to weasel out of than a vote. Also, it removes the pressure vote as a tool in our arsenal- if I’m forward timeline today and I get six votes on me, it’s not going to pressure me into acting any differently, especially since I know that half those people voting for me aren’t real votes anyway.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: faust on May 05, 2021, 07:03:36 am
It's all a matter of perception really. We can make italic votes every bit as impactful as normal votes if it is understood that a player who got a majority of them is going to be real-voted for. This will not work if people disagree with my plan, but preemptively saying that it can't work is just saying "I disagree with this because I feel like people will disagree with it".

But If everyone knows who they can or can’t vote for, then you can try and lobby players who have a vote today but no strong reads to vote on your behalf. Players are “Disenfranchised” maybe in the purely literal sense of the word, but hardly powerless.

With a full claim, it essentially becomes two separate games of mafia, but scum probably only needs to win one of them to win. If I know everyone in the reverse timeline, I can play this game as if they are the only other players, and everyone else is vocal spectators aligned with one side or another.

I think it's reasonable to literally only vote once the italic votes hammer someone. This, of course, would mean we need to get a deadline that then lets the reverse timeline people to hammer whoever we decided should die (and probably to exile the second option if the exile ends up being forward timeline).

Glooble's two game observation suggests to me that there is an even number of scum, most likely 4, or two teams of two. Is that balanced for a 16 player game? Maybe there's a 3rd party, too.

Ok, I missed that detail. But it could leave us scrambling at the end of the day. And the forward people being voted know they aren't in any real danger. It seems very possible that both top two exile choices would be forward.

The plan does try to make the most of our situation and makes forward votes a little bit more relevant. We likely can't do it after today since Day 1 will have revealed a lot of timelines. So I'm ok with the voting part. But saying we'll no exile anyway takes all the energy out of the plan.

So then I wonder... why is it not already public knowledge who is on which timeline?

What is the difference between those math?

Having just finished a BM game, my mind says anything is possible. I initially read "may not vote" to mean that if someone not on active timeline does vote, there could be mod-sanctions applied. But that seems much less fair if someone who is allowed to vote accidentally votes for someone they are not allowed to vote for, with who is on which timeline not being public knowledge.

One clear downside of timeline claiming is that it allows scum to target the PRs that can be active that Night with roleblocking, killing etc.

So here is my plan: noone votes. Instead, we use italics to Vote: xy. I agree to do vote count for italic votes. If a majority of living players agrees on an exile, then the people in the active timeline try to exile them. Otherwise, there will be no exile.

One clear upside of timeline cleaning is it allowed Town PRs who are only useful against active scum to know possible targets... RBers, trackers, etc.

Two big assumptions here, of course, that have not been confirmed by the mod. 1.) there is a t least one scum in each timeline and 2.) it is not possible for player to jump from one timeline to another.

The first assumption seems pretty reasonable. The second seems far less likely to me.

Are your responses based on actual information, or just your guesses? The fact that Glooble mentions the second makes me think that is very much possible this game.

Glooble's two game observation suggests to me that there is an even number of scum, most likely 4, or two teams of two. Is that balanced for a 16 player game? Maybe there's a 3rd party, too.

2 games of 2 scum in 8 can be reasonably balanced if appropriate power roles are distributed. But the biggest problem is if scum gets full control of one half of the game they get much more power.

And when the game design was adjusted from 18 parts to 16, and our QTs no longer guaranteed to be one person from each of Forward and Reverse... this also makes me think there may be possibilities to switch between timelines.

Still, these are just guesses on my part, not based on any actual game facts/knowledge.

My question may have been slightly role-fishing. But this is a RMM game and setup had indicated everyone has a power role. So I don't think that's unusual. Each town player will decide if and when and how their role is most useful and the answers to this could change as the game progresses.

A normal investigative role is most useful remaining completely hidden until they get results worth sharing.  Some powers or roles or parts of a role or information gained when clarifying their role may be useful to share now or soon. And when revealing information, some people will need to reveal role to validate information and others can reveal the information as fact without their role, and others may reveal it by using questions or hypothetical situations to promote discussion.

I think the last item has been done already. But as per Glooble's quoted words too, it's also possible some was legitimately questions and thoughts anyone could have had.

I think we have 5 forward claims already, so if everyone agrees we will be able to exile in forward without revealing more info. Exiling in reverse would of course require more reveals, but it's not clear to me that we want to exile today anyways.
We can't vote for the forwards today. Can't exile them.
I know. this was meant for tomorrow, or whenever forward gets active.

What is the benefit of no exile?
More time for PRs to operate, less info revealed to scum. Also, with only 8 people able to vote, town would have to vote almost unanimously in order to successfully exile scum, and that doesn't seem likely.
It only takes 5 to exile.
Yes this is what I am saying? With 8 people who can vote, probably 2 scum among them, the town (i.e. 6 people) has to vote almost unanimously to exile scum.

With a full claim, it essentially becomes two separate games of mafia, but scum probably only needs to win one of them to win. If I know everyone in the reverse timeline, I can play this game as if they are the only other players, and everyone else is vocal spectators aligned with one side or another.
Exactly. don't you see how that massively favors scum?

There is actually no guarantee that D2 will be foward timeline. Indeed, I would not be surprised to learn that scum gets to toggle the timeline each Night.

Why scum? Maybe a town PR? Maybe mod-controlled based on certain triggers? Maybe random?
yes, these are all options. I mention the scum option because I think it makes sense and it's something to be wary of.

I think the italics plan by faust is a good one. Obviously overtly helpful faust is scum faust, so vote: faust.

I also don't know if not timeline claiming is a good thing. Not just for the targeting reasons that have been mentioned, but because we will have at least partially timeline claimed by the end of the day when the people from the current timeline vote for the person who has been hammered by italics votes. Not sure if it is good to let some people be unclaimed from a timeline while others get to not be timeline claimed.

I'm all for people who aren't in the active timeline indicating their reads and preferences using italics, but I'm honestly not sure what benefit trying to hide timelines serves town.

If the status quo continues and we try to hide that info using faust's plan, (A) we are going to keep wasting time on a mechanical discussion that won't really help us develop reads, and (B) there's roughly a 50/50 shot that our preferred exile is actually not able to be exiled, which will leave us either scrambling or no exiling, which is either trivially bad for town or imho bad for town based on the last RMM that no-exiled D1.  If we finish claiming that, we can move on to actually developing reads and finding scum, and we won't run the risk of building momentum towards an exile that surprisingly can't actually be exiled today.

Also personally, if only half the lineup can vote and the number required to vote is based on that fraction of the lobby, only the half of the lobby that can vote should actually be listed on the vote count, but that's just me.

I think establishing timelines during D1 will also be useful, because I have to imagine there have to be some powers that allow you to switch your or others timeline. Maybe they didn't even exist at first, but that was part of the change that instigated the randomized QTs.

I think Dylan makes good points about the waste. Re: if you are active and post an italicized vote, you won't know for sure if it's valid or not. (for those of us not currently active, it's less of an issue, of course)

At the very least, we can prove the case for those who have already declared:

Vote: scolapasta
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: mathdude on May 05, 2021, 01:48:28 pm
Let me get this italics voting figured out.  We all (not just Active timeline) italic-vote someone.  Then once we reach majority, people on Active (currently Reverse) timeline all cast their votes (for who they wanted, or for the agreed-upon majority)?  What if I'm Active, majority is on MiX, but I want to vote faust?  What happens if I vote faust instead, and then MiX doesn't get exiled because of it?

And then if all Active players did vote MiX in bold, and we realize MiX wasn't Active timeline when vote count comes out so we need to change to next option, but there's disagreement about who the 2nd best choice was.  But then what if that person isn't Active timeline either?  Also, what if Inactive players still cast bold votes to make things look different than they should be (until a vote count comes out) - whether scum, 3rd party, or having an odd role or win condition.  What if we don't get that majority in time for at least 5 people on Active timeline to come vote properly (or for the 2nd or 3rd option if votes don't show up for our first choices)?

Seems like an awfully good scheme for scum to pull, as non-Active scum can help sway the votes, or to hope for No Exile today.  I'm not saying No Exile is a bad idea.  But I am saying that if we do want to do that, we should agree on the idea of "No Exile", not an idea that could draw out a few days of working through the game mechanics rather than actual game discussion and scum-hunting.

Why might No Exile be good for scum?  If I was making this game, I think I would have it 2-2 or 2-1 with some weird abilities of people on scum and town to affect or possibly switch to other sides occasionally.  So if there are 2 scum out of 8, then No Exile *likely* brings next Reverse day to 5-2, with 4 of those 5 town needing to agree on the right scum... that makes it pretty easy for false-claims by scum to draw votes.  I say *likely* because of possible Vig, RB, etc. roles.

So what do I think?
Vote: faust
Reason: I'm reverse timeline.  This will show whether faust is or not.  Let's get votes on everyone intermittently, and through vote counts, just make Timeline claims irrelevant, because we'll have the facts.  Then we know what (and who) we're dealing with. Town PRs (which everyone has one, according to setup post) will know for sure where they are more useful.  Would you rather have 5 or 6 Town PRs know who to target and 2 scum?  Or would you rather many Town be left in the dark, and scum (presumably all 3 or 4 together in night chat) be able to work out a lot more information collaboratively together at night to maximize their effectiveness while some of us shoot blanks?

Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: ashersky on May 05, 2021, 07:59:48 pm
Sorry all, this week was a long holiday, so was unavailable.  I've caught up.  Quick thoughts, more later:

1. I agree with mathdude on faust's plan.

It's trivially easy to reveal players' timelines via voting, so long as the mod provides vote counts at a reasonable rate.  scola can do it alone, or with one or two more active players who want to do so.  Using a separate voting system to keep track of preferences is fine, I guess, but we run into the very clear problems that mathdude laid out, specifically the preferred exile being inactive and therefore invalid.  Then what?  That's a wasted day.  Sure, we could be like, welp, let's just do that person when they are active.  But then all sorts of night actions can happen, new information can change opinions, etc.  And so that's bad.  Plus, what do we do today? 

2. I don't like the mechanic, but that's a personal opinion based solely on catching up right now.  Inactive players have little incentive to pay attention when they cannot affect the outcome.  They should pay attention to figure out the game, alignments, etc. but I think if we're all being honest, we can say that most of us are more likely to be involved when we can do things.  So I worry about overall participation.

3. Maybe I'm wrong though and there are cool things planned for the timeline things.  All I remember about the movie is memory loss and tattoos.

4. With 16 players, there has to be at least 4 non-town, but probably more.  I'd say at least 5, if I were designing.  But let's go with minimum.  Then split into timelines.  Now, if each mini-game is 2 v 6, what happens if mafia wins one?  Imagine they run the board in one timeline and we no exile every time in the other -- then we have 6 v 4 overall, but odd interactions.  I'm not sure what my point is here, but I think there is important stuff here.  Something with night actions maybe?

5. What about the QTs thing?  Do we talk about that?

Using a separate voting system to keep track of preferences is fine, I guess, but we run into the very clear problems that mathdude laid out, specifically the preferred exile being inactive and therefore invalid.  Then what?

Then we exile someone else.

Ash2: Disagree. I may agree later. As it is I keep checking m PM to even see what timeline I am on. I am fully following regardless. Also, this mechanic is unique enough to draw me out of retirement.

Ash5: I don’t think we talk about that today. I think it is an important piece of the puzzle. The original intent clearly was to have interaction between timelines. With random assignments that is sure to still exist to some degree. At some point I expect we have sufficient information to bring our QTs to bear and divulging who has who right now seems like a poor play for Town.

I’m definitely feeling the not-my-timeline lethargy, although it hasn’t inhibited me from reading so maybe having some folks with birds eye views will help.

I don’t quite understand what Faust’s plan gets us. More people italic voting, and then a point where the people in the active timeline are forced to vote that way even if it’s against their own judgement as a loyalty test. That feels like it would feel really icky to the people being forced to vote that way, although it does provide an incentive for the non-actives to participate. I’m not sure that is a net gain, but I’m sure there is much I don’t understand.

I am also unsure what the shared qt is for right now. :/

Some further thoughts on "the plan":

--it requires all players of the active timeline to agree to exile whomever is selected in italics.  That seems...difficult at best.  Easy enough to say you will, then adamantly refuse when the italicized exile is a strong town read or mafia partner.

--it only works on Day 1.  After the exile, there's a fairly clear breakdown of players by timeline, and then it's all moot.  Someone could just track bolded votes.

--mafia can definitely control this to their advantage.  At worst, they get all the information they need for night actions.  Imagine some powers only working on members of a certain timeline, or active timeline.

--that said, I don't necessarily think that means the plan came from mafia, as it was probably easier to just get people to claim.

--the italicized votes idea is strictly to hide timelines until the end of the day.  If players don't care or don't want to hide their timeline, though, no reason to force it.  As we've seen.  This could just have easily been done with popsquizes and weights.  So that makes the plan seem like more of a plan than it actually is, which could be a credgrab.

Other thoughts:

--what if timelines are randomly assigned and all mafia are in one timeline.  That makes the other timeline even more useless.

--has everyone posted yet?

TIMELINE MECHANICS
1.   All players in this game will be evenly divided into 2 “Timelines” – Forward and Reverse.
2.   Every Day and Night Phase will belong to a specific Timeline – Either Forward or Reverse.
    a.   During the Day, all players alive may post as usual in the game thread. However, only the players on the Active Timeline will be allowed to vote or use PRs.
    b.   Additionally, players will only be allowed to vote for players on the Active Timeline.
    c.   During the Night, only players on the Active Timeline will be allowed to take actions.
    d.   Night actions can target any player, regardless of which Timeline they belong to.
3.   Active Timelines will begin at the Start of Day and end at the conclusion of the following Night.

TIMELINE QT MECHANICS:
3.   When either player from the same QT dies, it will be closed for the remainder of the game.

A few tidbits of public information to discuss, because setup discussion is always...something.

I think #2 and #3 sort of define the same thing -- the "active period" of a timeline is always a day+night cycle.  An active timeline can't start at the beginning of the night, for example.  Seems that night actions could affect what timeline is active for the next cycle.

#2a CLEARLY hints at day powers.  I mean, use PRs is written there after "during the day."  There's a separate rule for actions at night at 2d.  So yeah, day powers.

For the QT #3, closed after a death always feels suspect to me.  Like, why not let the living player share thoughts or gloat?  Because the dead player might come back, perhaps...

So those are thoughts.  We can discuss them if you want.  Or not.

Okay let's get out of mechanical discussion.

Everyone who is reverse timeline, either vote in bold or vote in italic. You're playing this day, act like it. Everyone else, I'd suggest you vote in italic anyway, even if you don't intend to care about your vote, it would provide cover to people that don't want to claim.

For gkrieg: yeah, it can help scum to only have a few people say their timeline, but this only affects D1, so I think it helps town more overall.

Ash, I disagree with almost everything you're saying, Swowl putting down possibilities doesn't mean they have to be in the game IMO, this doesn't matter because we disagree on everything, but still.

We need to put down a deadline for the italic votes. I vote for a full IRL day before the actual deadline, so 3:25 pm 5/10. It's very likely no decision would have been made, and I don't think we should make it plurality, but if there is a majority of players that want to exile someone, I think we should do that.

Vote: faust, if there's any game where it can be correct to exile faust D1, it's this one, he's basically doing what scum!faust does, which is create chaos through order. Also Space isn't around to say if what he's doing is logical or not, so I need to keep a closer eye on him. Not to mention I can't pressure anyone else realistically, people that have claimed reverse timeline are basically stating they don't care about pressure, and the people that haven't claimed don't need to react to votes at all.

I'd love to see more votes from everyone, or we're not going to do much today.

There have been a number of people agreeing with faust's strategy but very few italic votes and no recent italic vote count. There has also been mention of seeing an early deadline to get these votes in but no follow-up. And we're losing time.

There have also been some people who disagree, yet have not proven their Timeline by means of a vote. So that's not helpful either.

Even though I don't think it's helpful, FWIW, I wil...

OK I'm getting caught up here, first off to those I haven't played with before hello!, and I use he/him pronouns just fyi.

Since it seems trivial to determine what timelines people are on I'll go ahead and just say that I'm on the reverse timeline. For now I'm operating under the assumption that at some point the timelines will merge or at least people will get swapped between them since that seems like the most likely way to deal with the potential lategame weirdness.

In regards to the italic voting plan, I'm in favour of binding the choice of exile to the wishes of the overall majority. The voting should only be allowed for people in the active timeline though - it seems obvious to me that trying to pass off exiles to some unknown future day is a bad idea and it's strange to me that faust didn't make this explicit when bringing it up (possibly because he seems to want no-exile D1?).

It would be easier because this is an RMM with supercharged investigative PRs.

Also re. faust - what is this? Either it's creating WIFOM for no obvious reason or it's rolefishing bait. Feels scummy to me in any case.

It's occurred to me that timelines merging matches the narrative structure of the movie, so that's a minor point suggesting that that will happen at some point.

EFHW, Dylan, ashersky all have said that the advantage of the italic voting plan is in concealing people's timelines - these are first of all not really possible to conceal as has been pointed out already, and also there seems to be obvious advantages to letting everyone vote. I'm not sure if not picking up on that is scummy or towny though.

If only mafia are left from one timeline, then they can't be exiled by players on the other timeline. If there is one large team, then town is at a big disadvantage. If there are two teams, then there could be two winners. Or, there could be someone able to vote or kill players from either timeline so that no one gets to be immortal due to the timeline restrictions.

No, you have that backwards. The advantage of concealing timelines is that the italics plan could preserve some agency for the forward timeline folks. There are probably too many known timelines at this point for it to work, though.

One thing no one has mentioned, and I think it’s worth pointing it out to give swowl some design credit. In the movie, the two timelines eventually converge. By what mechanic that might be done, idk, but I feel like the scum win one timeline and auto win the game scenario is one that probably would have been thought of in the design process while deciding mechanics of dividing up the TLs.

I was going to mention this too. There's no way swowl didn't consider this and mitigated for it with either merging timelines, PRs that can switch, or PRs that can do cross timeline shenangians.

Also, if one does have an investigative power, better to reveal to your QT than the main thread, no? Main thread guarantees scum will see it; with QT it's less likely than not. Note, I'm not saying investigative powers should reveal just that there is a reasonable rationale, if / when you trust your QT mate.

I would be incredibly surprised if all three of them were town-aligned.

vote: joth. Feels very much like his last scum game.

vote: joth

Been feeling this too. Town joth tends to be a mix of useful posts and irreverent/jokey posts, all jokes joth is often scum!joth. But I think he's forward timeline (at least he implied as much.)
He hasn't been all jokes.

Maybe not all jokes, but very little substance compared to his normal games. Everything he's said has looked to me like stuff you say just to avoid looking like a lurker.

So I did a quick reread of mathdude, and some of the stuff I thought he'd said was actually pingpongsam. But- he still came off really scummy to me in the reread. It definitely seemed liked he was fishing for role info, and the way he's pushing faust looks opportunistic and shady. Also, I think faust is town.

So I'm comfortable with a vote: mathdude.

I can't do anything about it today anyway, but there's nothing short of public mod confirmation that mathdude is scum that would make me do anything to eliminate them D1 this game.

This is not game 3 - he's been scum since.

One thing no one has mentioned, and I think it’s worth pointing it out to give swowl some design credit. In the movie, the two timelines eventually converge. By what mechanic that might be done, idk, but I feel like the scum win one timeline and auto win the game scenario is one that probably would have been thought of in the design process while deciding mechanics of dividing up the TLs.

I was going to mention this too. There's no way swowl didn't consider this and mitigated for it with either merging timelines, PRs that can switch, or PRs that can do cross timeline shenangians.

I'm at least 90% sure this is accounted for. I asked a question in QT and the response wasn't indicative but basically gives me confidence in saying we won't lose automatically if scum takes majority in one timeline.

Vote: Glooble for jumping on someone else's scumread for a fake reason that isn't even remotely true.

Here's a slightly more specific summary of my thinking (part of me posting this is just holding myself accountable to flesh this out once I have time) - I am weighing the merits of three scenarios right now, one where faust is scum and MiX is town, one where MiX is scum and faust is town, and one where they are both town and mathdude is scum trying hard to push the faust vs. MiX narrative. I would be incredibly surprised if all three of them were town-aligned.

I'm town. So you're basically saying one of MiX or faust are scum but not both. Noted.

So I did a quick reread of mathdude, and some of the stuff I thought he'd said was actually pingpongsam. But- he still came off really scummy to me in the reread. It definitely seemed liked he was fishing for role info, and the way he's pushing faust looks opportunistic and shady. Also, I think faust is town.

So I'm comfortable with a vote: mathdude.

So some of the stuff you thought I said was pps, yet you still think I'm scummy? I'm not fishing for info. I'm trying to help down actually do something today.

Ya, I don't want to throw myself under the bus, but that BM game basically felt like RMM. And I was scum. And I think I played it fairly well. Probably too well, because I played it the way I want to play as town. So now whatever I do (push between pubby and Bright in that game, pushing between faust and opposing views here) is going to look scummy because of that. That's life. It's the town meta that works for me. I'm town here. I'm doing it again. Take that as you will. I won't give up. I won't let down. And I won't change.

It's occurred to me that timelines merging matches the narrative structure of the movie, so that's a minor point suggesting that that will happen at some point.

EFHW, Dylan, ashersky all have said that the advantage of the italic voting plan is in concealing people's timelines - these are first of all not really possible to conceal as has been pointed out already, and also there seems to be obvious advantages to letting everyone vote. I'm not sure if not picking up on that is scummy or towny though.
No, you have that backwards. The advantage of concealing timelines is that the italics plan could preserve some agency for the forward timeline folks. There are probably too many known timelines at this point for it to work, though.

It sure feels like we're not going to get anywhere if we don't even know who we can exile.

On that note, people who have claimed/are confirmed Reverse: MiX, Glooble, mathdude, faust, hypercube
Forward: Dylan, scolapasta, Galzria, EFHW, Didds
Unknown: chairs, joth, ashersky, PPS, Awaclus, gkreig

So out of Reverse/Unknown, I think I like vote: joth

And now we can add:
MiX (2): PPS, Awaclus
hypercube (1): mathdude
faust (1): MiX

So, now we have confirmed Reverse: MiX, Glooble, mathdude, faust, hypercube, Awaclus, PPS 
That means that we are only missing one. Chairs has since voted, but we don't know yet if it counted.  If it did, then hes's the eighth.

I believe Glooble is just claimed, not confirmed. So we might as well confirm it, then we can move on away from this italic vote thing once we either get chairs confirmed or find the 8th.

I was able to escape the other side of the thread with a singular town read.

As well as a fuzzy reason to vote for Glooble, although who knows how accurate that fuzzy feeling is, I am pretty rusty after all.

Did we decide to just vote for people for funsies? Or are people still wanting to contemplate hiding votes? I feel obligatorily compelled to like the not-voting plan, which is counter to my very nature.

Hi Eddie!

Even though we know all the timelines now, I still think people on the inactive timeline should vote (or actually probably vote is better so we'll know if someone's timeline changes) so that the active timeline people can at the very least take their opinions into account, even though it looks like we're not getting consensus on binding the exile to the overall majority.

Glooble voting for joth seems more like lazy town than lazy scum tbqh. On the other side of that coin, vote: chairs.

Post by: jotheonah on May 07, 2021, 09:14:18 am
Hi! So I was out yesterday cause I was getting my second shot and then recovering from side effects. So what I did with myself was, I re-watched Memento.

This is what occurred to me.

- As a mod, I would have a darn hard time. finding 16 characters at all. Actually appearing in the main timelines there's just Leonard, Teddy, Natalie, Jimmy G, Dobb, the hotel clerk, and the escort. Oh and I guess the tattoo parlor lady. And then if you add the flashbacks you can add Sammi Jankins, Sammi''s wife, Lenny's wife, maybe the actual John G and his accomplice? And then we're still short three characters. And the characters don't neatly split up among timelines. In particular, Leonard and Teddy feature heavily in both. So I wonder if multiple players can be assigned the same character. Or if there are two players who are in both timelines somehow.

- There isn't an obvious single group of people to be a scum team. The bad guys are either outright shown or implied to be allied against one another. I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking at multi-ball. And it's a movie where even the hero ends up being an anti-hero and everyone Leonard meets mistreats or takes advantage of him. So maybe the scum team is not associated with flavor at all, since all the characters are scummy to some degree.

- It's been said, but the two timelines DO converge and interact, but only at the end, and when they do it's sort of pivotal to the film. So, if I were designing the game, I would probably create a mechanism for the timelines to come together at MiLo or ExLo, or possibly when an event triggers it.

- In terms of PRs, I'm pretty darn sure we have investigative PRs because investigating/mystery solving is such an important part of the film. Other than that nothing obvious pops up.

Addressing the case on me: I've struggled to engage with this game as much as I'd like to so far. But I'm a bad exile for today. Mainly because it's not my timeline.

Hey joth...what are the chances there's multiple versions of the same character? Like a forward and reverse timeline version?
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: mathdude on May 07, 2021, 09:58:18 am
I watched the movie a long time ago, and so I only remember the general concept. But as people talk about it, it's starting to come back.

The idea of timelines merging makes sense from a game design perspective and obviously thematically as well. I could think of a few possible triggers if I were designing the game:
- once we get to a certain number of people (probably 7-9), similar to Survivor merging their tribes
- once scum has control over one timeline
- when a certain number of nights has passed
- if someone has a role that can trigger it (though it would have to be something they can't do night 1 or probably even 2 or it makes the timelines almost pointless)

Based on joth's counting of characters, I even wonder if pairs of people actually have the same character in opposite timelines. Maybe this isn't true for everyone, but just for some? Maybe the original game design of 18 characters was just 9 of them doubled up? So based on this possibility, there are 2 other possible mechanisms at play:
- when one of each double-character dies, the timelines may merge
- anyone with doubles may be unknowingly connected to their other half and if one dies, then the other dies too!

What I remember most about the movie was the realization that it’s effectively scenes played in reverse order. In fact, there’s an internet version that does just this and that movie is much more coherent and the protagonist is clearly a lunatic asshole.

Post by: jotheonah on May 07, 2021, 11:00:10 am
Yeah. The protagonist can't form new longterm memories, so he's basically living moment to moment. The film presents the scenes backwards to put you in his headspace -- always starting the scene with no idea what's going on.

Another meta-y thing to think about is QT partners, the likelihood that two scum are paired together is low, so everyone claiming their partners is good.

This is countered by previous me’s (quite solid) point that investigative roles can leak their results out through partners without putting.

Last time Swowl hosted a game with random neighborhoods, the two scum that were in the same QT died very quickly (one of being scummy...the other for being townie. Oops.)

I strongly oppose a day 1 flavour name claim. It seems roles are related to player. Yes, this might help us figure out scum if we can figure out who they might be. But I think more likely, it gives scum, who can collaborate, the ability to work out which probable power roles they want to kill off.

Discussions about partners may not be helpful either. Maybe 2 scum are together. Maybe they are all separate. We have no idea. If you assume no scum are together, but Swowl put 2 scum in each timeline and they are QT partners (and that's their scum chat), then we'd be screwed. Also, some people, like MiX, like to keep their QT secret.

So yes, you are quite different than the previous "you" in this game. But with you wanting so much info out that could potentially harm town, I think I'll

Yeah, I’m trying to not think about the flavor as best I can, I haven’t seen the film and am trying to get out of this game unscathed.

I skipped about 30% of Joth’s post up there, for example.

I think it doesn't make sense to reveal (at least D1/2) are flavor names and/or QT partners. But I will say this: I have NO CLUE what my flavor has to do with the theme. I mean it's a name, but when I try to google it, I don't see any (at least immediate) connection to Memento.

I also decided to rewatch Memento after reading Jonah's post and my flavor name also has 0 connection to the film.

Makes more sense now?

I guess? Could you explain the role more? i.e. are you a regular cop and question is the Vengeful ability? or are this your only ability? (related to cop; if there's something else, feel free to not reveal)

At first I was going to say it may have made sense to wait until D3, but maybe thinking further, I do see the potential here as it gets us some solid intel before any weird shenanigans like traitors, scum changing timelines, etc.



So we have two groups:
1. Gloobie, Mix, cube, Awaclus
2. Eddie, chairs, pps

If we assume there are 2 scum in this timeline, then you would guess 0, 1, or 2, here are the options (we do need to be careful as there could also be just 1 scum; and much less likely, 3 scum):
 
Options:

Guess 0:
YES: All ICs in group 1; 2 of the 3 players in Group 2 are scum
NO:  0-1 in the group 1 and 1-2 group 2.

Guess 1:
YES: 1 in group 1, and 1 in group 2
NO: both scum are all in either group 1 or group 2


Guess 2:
YES: 2 in group 1 and 0 in group 2, ICing eddie, chairs, and pps (mostly, again this is with assumption of 2 scum)
NO:  0-1 in the group 1 and 1-2 group 2.

I have my opinion on which guess I like best and which I like worst. But I think it would be valuable to hear from all the Reverses which guess they like best.

ppe: 8

Post by: Uncleeurope on May 08, 2021, 01:52:01 pm
First instinct was to go for 1 as MiX suggested, but I think 0 amounts to something similar.

If I were to use it like the ability was intended I would probably vote 1 because that’s my best guess for the correct amount.

0 has a huge upside and learning “no” means that at least 1 in the list is bad, which would be pretty solid info regardless.

I dunno.

I’m a gambler, so I would go 1. (Yup, the safe play and the risky play swapped for me)

Maybe.

But who knows?
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: MiX on May 08, 2021, 02:00:18 pm
1 is the safe number, the best number regardless of quantity of scum in this timeline (1 or 2), and late in the game it gives basically as much information as the other guesses, regardless of outcome. Given tomorrow will be another timeline, gambling for a better short term result seems inefficient. So, 1's the best number.

I am not a regular cop. I have a 1-shot ability that only works if I'm exiled (I'm useless if killed at night). When exiled, we enter a twilight phase, which lasts up to 24 or until I officially make a bolded guess, whichever comes first.

I post a guess of how many scum on my wagon. You guys go through night phase. Tomorrow morning, with any other night information posted (such as scum kill), mod will answer publicly whether my guess was right or wrong.

Since D1 vote is fairly blind, and at risk of dying either N1 or N2 (assuming we alternate timelines each day, which isn't guaranteed)... I figured I'd make use of my role by making sure I was exiled.

Yes, D3 or later would let me make an even better guess with less on and off wagon. But that's also when we may not be able to afford a town exile in order to gather info.

At first I was going to say it may have made sense to wait until D3, but maybe thinking further, I do see the potential here as it gets us some solid intel before any weird shenanigans like traitors, scum changing timelines, etc.

I think it doesn't make sense to reveal (at least D1/2) are flavor names and/or QT partners. But I will say this: I have NO CLUE what my flavor has to do with the theme. I mean it's a name, but when I try to google it, I don't see any (at least immediate) connection to Memento.

I also decided to rewatch Memento after reading Jonah's post and my flavor name also has 0 connection to the film.
I guess Jonah is joth?

He’s Jo-The O-nah! I have said repeatedly that I think he should go by Joth IRL

So what is math doing that is making him come across so scummy? There is aggression here. He was certainly crossing swords with faust. Is there a scum narrative, or is this irritation at his approach to the game?

This aggression seems fake. Read his posts, do you think math is that upset? I don't.

I don’t think he’s being fake. I also don’t think he’s upset. I think that is just his style.

Fascinating. Well, good job getting yourself exiled, math.

I think 0 is the best guess, even though I highly doubt there are actually 0 scum on the wagon. It just has the most upside. (A) If we guess zero and swowl says yes, that's 4 ICs, that's insane. (B) If we guess zero and swowl says no, that's four players and we know definitively that at least one is scum, that still greatly increases our odds next time we have to exile in reverse.

If we guess one and swowl says yes, that's not that much better than scenario (A), given that we don't know for sure how many scum are in each timeline. (D) If we guess one and Swowl say no, that tells us very little. Could be 2, could be 0. It's not helpful.

(E) If we guess 2 and Swowl says yes, that's a super useful result, but again (F) if we guess 2 and Swowl says no, it could be 1 or zero, not so useful.

So yeah, I vote we guess zero.

The best question to ask is: "what are the two most likely numbers of scum on my train?"
And then the follow-up is: "how do we beat distinguish between them?"

I think there are either 1 or 2. There can't be 3 unless we have some serious imbalance in the two timelines. And it would be quite unlikely scum would pass up such an easy "misexile", so I think it's less likely there are 0.

Agree or disagree?

We can deal with the 2nd question once we sort out this first one (a number of you immediately jumped to the second, and I initially did too, but I think we need to agree on the first one first).

The thing about trying to get exiled is that town players vote for you. We are not near deadline. Why would scum be on the wagon now? I think we should ask if there are zero scum. That has the biggest possible payoff. The other choices are about what we would guess anyway based on probability, without the benefit of a question and answer.

Is your guess for the exact number of scum? So that a guess of 1 would get a no answer if there are 2?

Good question! I just went to double-check.

It is actually a guess of how many "non-town" are on my wagon. Does that change things? Make it less likely to be 0 I assume if there are possible 3rd parties.

Oh, and MiX was strongly against it. They said if I'm town, I should not try to die D1, even though they knew my role gave some benefit if I died.

It was only through some more convincing of my own that MiX finally, reluctantly voted for me. They wanted me to full claim here in game and vote for myself first. It should be obvious that that would be too easy for scum to manipulate. I saved my own bike for the hammer intentionally.

Knowing there's exactly 1 scum out of 4 doesn't seem much better than knowing there's at least 1 scum out of 4, until you figure out who it is and the other 3 become ICs (which might take a long time or never happen). In other words, the worse outcome of guessing 0 seems almost as good as the better outcome of guessing 1. Let's not guess 1.

Post by: ashersky on May 08, 2021, 11:13:58 pm
Definitely zero.

Also, didn't even exile had happened.

But zero is the safe play.  If any other number is correct, that's great, but if it is a "no" we lose out.  Like, no, there is not exactly one mafia player in this set of four does not really help us...that still leaves 0, 2, 3, and 4, meaning it could still all be town.

Confirming mafia is there is best.

In case I don't get to post tomorrow (going through vaccine side effects as we speak  :( ), I think 1 is the worst choice. Between 0 and 2, I agree with the zero people.

One reason I have not yet seen: if one of the most likely, better to have that be in the NO side of things, since then we have some more idea there. Not sure if I'm explaining it well, but I can always do that after the fact, when I don't feel like I'm going to explode.

It seems like most people missed ^this^ post. [Update - it should now ask about non-town, not ask about scum].

I do NOT want people to weigh in on how many I should guess. I think most people that have posted guesses so far (and even reasoning) have not considered what is in this quoted post.

This question is for ALL 15 PLAYERS, not just the 7 remaining on Reverse Timeline!
WHAT ARE THE TWO MOST LIKELY NUMBERS OF NON-TOWN PLAYERS ON MY WAGON?
(And if you also want to speculate, of the 7 remaining Reverse Timeline players, how many total non-town do you think there are?)

Once we sort of agree on that (which I hope will happen by 8 or 9am), then I will look for opinions on which number to guess. Until that time, anyone who says "you should guess zero" (or one, i.e two)... I wil not pay much attention to why you think so.

Meh, like I said, 0 is safe but boring.

I find it unlikely that the wagon is clean, and view a guess to how many we think there actually are (probably 1) as better.

But I am a natural gambler.

(I also think having a living M.D. is better than this madness, but whatever)

I think all of the people recommending 0 are assuming that there is a baddie in the pool and want it confirmed, which makes this a bit silly, “how many” is more fun than answering a question we “know” the answer to.

But don’t listen to me, the safe play is probably correct.

Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: mathdude on May 09, 2021, 02:51:39 am
Okay, let's see what kind of logical reasoning we can work into this situation.

People have been arguing that I should Guess 0, because if the answer is "yes", then there are 4 confirmed IC's.  But seriously, what are the chances of that actually happening?  This is RMM, and there are 1 or more likely 2 scum in the remaining 7 players of Reverse Timeline.  Add to that the fact that there could potentially be 2 scum factions (which would probably mean 2 or 3 out of 7 are scum) or there could be 3rd party players involved (again, I'd guess probably 2 or 3 out of 7 are non-town).  I'm going to mostly assume 2 non-town out of 7 for the remainder of this post.



As I said earlier, we need to sort of agree on how many scum (or non-town, actually) are most likely on my wagon (and we need the 2 most likely numbers).  If there are 2 total out of 7, I'd put the chances of 0 on wagon at less than 10%.  If a wagon is going to build quick, as it did, it's very possible scum would jump on it at some point, not wanting to be the last one to hammer a town, so they would have gotten on earlier.  And especially not expecting it to go to hammer so early, it's a free place to put a vote.  Mathematically, of 7 players and 5 town, there are 5 ways to pick 4 town and 35 ways to pick 4 random... 5/35=14%, but again, with the opportunity there, I think the chances of 4 town being there is much less.  (Also consider if there are 3 non-town total, chances of 4 town on my wagon is 1/35=3% chance!)

I think the chances of 1 non-town being on my wagon are 30-50%.  Again, assuming 2 scum who know each other, maybe they did go one on, one off, or maybe they didn't.  We don't really know.  We also didn't leave it long enough that they could watch, plan, coordinate (whether or not they have day chat), etc.

I also think the chances of 2 non-town on my wagon are about 30-50%.  I think 1 is mathematically more likely, but to find out there are 2 would not be unexpected.  Not expecting hammer to lock in their votes so soon, it's quite possible that 2 scum put their votes on, intending to take them off later if needed.  (Add to that that if there are 3+ non-town in the 7 remaining, the chances of 2 on my wagon goes up significantly, whether or not they know each other).

And finally, the chances of 3 or 4 non-town on my wagon are low, in my opinion - maybe around 10% again (though possibly less).  I don't see a reason to believe there is an overabundance of non-towns (it's not BM, and I know I'm town, so there are definitely town in the game).  Possible, yes.  Likely, no.  And as roles become known through the game, if there are a lot of 3rd party or you find out that there are 2 scum factions, then you could go back to the results of this and consider if maybe there were 3 on wagon.



If I Guess 0, the potential reward is great (4 IC's), but I give it 90+% chance that the answer is "no".  And what does that tell us?  That there's at least 1 on my wagon.  That's useless.  If there's 1, it's a shot in the dark (with role powers and with exiles) whether you look on or off my wagon next Reverse day/night - it will fully depend on how many are still alive at that time and what else is learned (if no one dies, 1 in 3 off wagon, 1 in 4 on wagon, again assuming 2 total, probably means looking off wagon).  But if there's 2, then you definitely want to look on wagon.

If I Guess 1, an answer of "yes" is not very helpful (as described above) - non-town is likely split 1-1 on and off wagon (depending on how other parts of the game go, I'd probably look off-wagon first, since there would likely be at least 1 in those 3).  But if the answer is "no", then you know there's either 0 or 2+ on wagon.  Maybe right now that's not helpful in some of your opinions.  But I'd strongly wager on there being 2+ in that case (and if as the game progresses, there does seem to be an indication that they could all be town, rather than 2+ non-town, then that polarizing distinction can be helpful then too!)

If I Guess 2, an answer of "yes" can be fairly helpful.  If one is scum and the other is 3rd party, it might be a bit harder to locate.  But if they're both scum, it would make it easier to pair them off.  But even if the answer is "no", that makes it fairly certain there is no more than 1 non-town on my wagon.  You can look elsewhere and leave that last 1 (if there even is 1, rather than 0) for later.  Out of 4 people on wagon, knowing that either 0 or 1 is non-town pretty much tells me you don't need to look here until LYLO or similar.  And if for some reason, there are 3+ non-town on my wagon, then again, it should become fairly obvious as the game progresses.



Summary:
If you want a 90% chance that my result tells us pretty much nothing useful ("there is at least 1 non-town in the 4 people on my wagon"), on the tiny chance that you get 4 conf-town, then I think you're pretty scummy as you want me to most likely waste my role.
If you're okay with either confirming 1 on my wagon, or using your reads and the progression of the game to distinguish between 0 or 2+ on my wagon, then picking 1 is the right choice.
If you can comfortably lump (0 or 1) non-town on my wagon, and leave the 4 of them mostly alone until near the end of the game if the answer is "no", but getting a "yes" to 2 would be super helpful, then picking 2 is the right choice.

I don't yet know what I want to pick.  I want the best odds for town in the game as a whole (that can be partly useful upon reveal, but potentially more useful as the game progresses).  We can't guarantee to get a "yes", no matter what we pick.  So how can we maximize the usefulness of a potential "no"?

Post by: mathdude on May 09, 2021, 03:08:49 am
And if you want to get even more complicated in things...

Look at each of the cases above (if I Guess 1 and the answer is "no"; if I Guess 1 and the answer is "yes", etc.) and find out what is likely to happen next!  Night actions tonight won't know the results yet.  But scum will likely suspect what the answer will already be (assuming there aren't 2 scum factions, and there are many or any 3rd parties).

If I Guess 1 and no scum are on my wagon, likely resulting in "no", they are sitting in great shape because you will think there are 2.  They night kill the other off-wagon person and they look pretty clear.
But if 2 scum are on my wagon, they also kill someone off wagon (or maybe even from Forward Timeline), to keep 2-2 on wagon.
These look too similar, and that's not ideal.

If I Guess 1 and 1 scum is on my wagon, they are pretty sure the answer will be "yes".  With 1 in 3 off-wagon being scum, and 1 in 4 on-wagon, they could either kill town on-wagon or from Forward Timeline to keep themselves fairly safe.
This isn't ideal either.

If I Guess 0, and there is no scum on my wagon, they likely lose (again, this is very unlikely scenario) as a voting block of 4 is powerful.  They would have to slowly kill off this block.  But if 1 or 2 is on my wagon, they pretty much have freedom to do whatever they want.

If I Guess 2, and they have 0 scum on my wagon, the answer will be "no", and they will be picked off pretty easily, since they are in the 3 off-wagon, regardless of what they do.  But if they have 1 on my wagon, and the answer still likely is "no", so the 1 of them off-wagon is in more danger since you'd likely look there first (getting a "no" that says there are either 0 or 1 on wagon) - so they likely kill one on-wagon to keep the balance fairly close.

If I Guess 2, and they do have 2 on my wagon, they know they are in danger when the "yes" comes up.  They can't touch any town on the wagon, or they are 2 out of 3.  So they have to kill either off-wagon or off-timeline.  But they will likely be found out easily enough if there are 2 on-wagon, just by voting patterns, etc.



I was thinking earlier that Guessing 1 was the better option (I'd rather have a potential "no" be from a polarizing 0 or 2+... rather than a potential "no" from a Guess of 2, where you can't distinguish whether it's 0 or 1 on-wagon).
But after looking at what position scum might be in (even tonight, not knowing what to do with their night kill, or potentially not having much choice without screwing themselves over), Guessing 2 actually looks pretty decent.

Looking for thoughts from anyone and everyone (not just the 7 Reverse Timeline).  How do you recommend I proceed and why?  I'll probably put the vote in around 2:30 or 3pm.  (Time to go to sleep now for a few hours).

1) It's much more likely there's 0 scum on your wagon than 2+. It was an extremely towny wagon, the chances for 0 to be correct are definitely higher, not lower, than what the math suggests.

2) Knowing there's at least 1 scum in 4 is not anywhere near as useless as you're painting it as. We will have that information forever, and it will become more useful later in the game when some of those 4 players are dead and it's no longer a 1 in 4 chance but something better, maybe even a 1 in 1.

A reminder that it's not "scum", it's "non-town".

As far as I'm concerned, non-town is by default scum.

Yeah I’m sorry but I completely agree with Awaclus here. I think 0 is the best bet.

HOWEVER to answer your question, I think the most likely number of non-town players on the wagon is 1, and 2 and 0 are probably equally likely after that.

I think there is probably one non-town on your wagon.

If there were 2 scum in the time line and they were known to each other, I don’t think they’d pile up together so soon. Different story if they are not known to one another, but I still think it’s probably one on and one off knowing how early in the day the exile went down.

This is what I was trying to say last night, I think it's more likely 1 and 2 and 0 are about the same. Which is why I like either 0 or 2, because that gets us more info with a NO answer (i.e. likely 1). and in fact with a zero guess, if the anser is yes we know exactly, if the answer is NO, we know at least 1, and mire likely 1.

I'm here and caught up.

I think 2 is your best go, honestly.

If the answer comes back as "Yes", that's arguably as informative as guessing 0 and getting a "Yes". That's a huge up swing for us in knowing that there are 2-in-4 non-town on your wagon. If the answer comes back as "No" (which is possibly more likely), we can remove 2 (and almost certainly 3 & 4) as the number of non-town on your wagon.

That would mean that the number of non-town on your wagon is 0, or 1 - with 1 being the likely expected value in this case.

Guessing 1 and getting it confirmed does not give us any better odds than a random exile likely gives us. So it's safe to assume that there is LIKELY at least 1 scum in the 4 on your wagon. Certainly it's not a place that we would START our scum hunting from on future days.

BUT, if we find that the answer to the guess of 2 is YES, then it DOES inform our scum hunting on future days.

Basically, I think it is significantly more likely that there are 2 scum than 0 scum on your wagon, and thus a guess of 2 is far more valuable than a guess of 0 - with both guesses returning essentially the same information should the result come back "NO".

I think you guess zero, even though I'm pretty sure the answer is 1 or 2. Guessing 1 and getting a no is the worst case scenario, because it tells us that there's either zero or two scum on the wagon. Guessing zero and getting a no is legitimately helpful. Guessing zero and getting a yes is astonishingly helpful, like basically solves the game helpful. Guessing 2 or more and getting a no is pretty useless, though getting a yes would be amazing.

Outside of trying to game the system though, that wagon was scummy af and I would be shocked if there were no scum on it. Glooble is a top scum read because his indignation over mathdude's "don't vote for me" post reads a bit inauthentic, and that's very much the sort of post scum would pounce on to get a misexile. But then the people who jumped on after also don't exactly scream town. But there's no way they're all scum, that would be way too obvious. Plus Awaclus is Awaclus, so the wagon hop with no explanation is pretty on brand.

So I think the scum on wagon are Glooble and maybe cube? I can't remember who the other vote was besides the self-hammer.

Honestly, maybe you go for 1 here after all. I mean, given how confident I am that the answer ISN'T zero maybe we can take that as a given and then get the answer to 1 vs more than one.

I think it doesn't make sense to reveal (at least D1/2) are flavor names and/or QT partners. But I will say this: I have NO CLUE what my flavor has to do with the theme. I mean it's a name, but when I try to google it, I don't see any (at least immediate) connection to Memento.

I also decided to rewatch Memento after reading Jonah's post and my flavor name also has 0 connection to the film.
I guess Jonah is joth?

He’s Jo-The O-nah! I have said repeatedly that I think he should go by Joth IRL

It was supposed to be J-to the-Onah but I made what's turned out to be a really fateful typo

They don't return the same information. 2 coming back as "NO" tells us there's at most 1 scum, 0 coming back as "NO" tells us there's at least 1 scum. While we might expect both of those statements to be true, having them modconfirmed is a very substantial advantage over just assuming, because we can't count on assumptions being true (even when they actually are true).

Having "at most 1 scum" confirmed gives us ICs if the scum is killed, which is good, but having "at least 1 scum" confirmed gives us guilty children if the townies are killed, which is super good.

If we think it's safe to assume that there can't be more than 2 scum on the same timeline, then the information is almost the same regardless of what the result is (because then guessing 2 on-wagon is effectively the same as guessing 0 off-wagon) based on that assumption, but if it starts to look like it was a mistake to assume that, they're no longer the same information.

See, it's like you start to make your way to logic, and then fail to get all the way there.

You start by saying "Guessing 1 and getting a NO would be the worst case scenario, because then we don't know if it's 0 or 2" - First off, knowing it's "0 or 2" isn't horrible, because we can use our reads to determine which we feel is more likely, and if at any point somebody from that group turns scum (especially possible if we're in multi-ball), then we know the answer is 2.

But put aside that it isn't a horrible result and just take your argument at face value. You then go on to talk your way down to a "Maybe you should go 1 because I'm confident it's not 0". Let's assume he goes 1 and gets a YES. I would argue THAT is the worst possible result. That tells us that 1-in-4 is scum. Whoop-de-doo. Go roll a dice. We're not doing any better than random with that knowledge. And it's ESSENTIALLY the same result as getting a NO from a 0 or 2 guess - except a 0 or 2 guess give us much BETTER information should the result come back YES.

So if you believe that the expected scum count on Math's wagon is greater than 0 (1 or 2), then I think the best possible guess is clearly 2.

Ok, now I'm fully caught up.

The fact that mathdude asked (begged) MiX to vote for him, and also voted for himself is big here. We of course don't know MiX is town, but his vote is very not scummy given it was engineered by mathdude.

It's kind of frustrating that mathdude took the hammer away from scum here too. Basically this is a really weird wagon because it was engineered by town and that makes it super hard to make assumptions about it.

hypercube E-1'd pretty casually. That could be scummy.

I guess if we have a conservative scum team, we're looking at zero or 1 and if we have an aggressive scum team we're looking at 2 at most. I think we can pretty much rule out three.

Because if MiX is scum, he was the second one to vote mathdude and his partners wouldn't jump on like that, at least not if there were two on the wagon already. They might hammer, if it looked like the best move, but they wouldn't vote in the third or fourth position.

I guess where I'm at here is that scum on this wagon, if any, are either Glooble or hypercube. Glooble AND hypercube is possible but unlikely. Maybe someone who has a better grasp of cube's meta can tell me whether he would E-1 a wagon with a partner on it this quickly & early in the day. But, contradicting what I said before, I think this could absolutely be an all-town wagon. Because of the weirdness of it.

I admire the gumption of pro-actively using this power like mathdude did and if it pays off it will be epic. But there are definite downsides.

If we assume that there's at least 2 scum on the same timeline. On the other hand, "exactly 2 scum" tells us that there is "exactly 0 scum" off-wagon only if we assume that there's at most 2 scum on the same timeline. I don't feel that great about assuming we have exactly 2 scum on every timeline.

Post by: Awaclus on May 09, 2021, 12:29:09 pm
I get the argument that guessing 0 and 2 return pretty similar results, and that mathematically it's more likely to draw both scum if you pick the group of 4 instead of the group of 3. However, I think the uncertainty of interpreting the results when you guess 2 is a more substantial downside.

Of course from my perspective, I also know I'm town and on-wagon so guessing 2 is actually still just trying to find 2 scum in a group of 3, and I feel like the average non-me non-math person on the wagon is somewhat townier than expected, so I can tell the upside isn't even there.

1st vote on me - a standing vote that I used to try and garner more votes - Glooble.

2nd vote on me - after I said I was mostly town-reading him, though he gave no explanation - Awaclus.

3rd vote on me - after I finally convinced him in QT to mostly go along with the plan, though he was very hesistant - MiX.

4th vote on me - nonchalantly putting me at E-1 and noting it as such - hyper

5th vote on me - hammer - from me



My QT with MiX:

I had shared with MiX part-way into the day that my only role power was when I died, but I stated that it was one ability if I died during the day and a different power if I died at night.  I gave no more information than that, as much as he tried to get some from me.  I was mildly scum-reading him by the time I shared this, and the "lie" (2nd part) was a back-up so he would not keep me alive during the day and kill me at night if he was scum.  I had said I wasn't sure which of the two abilities was better, but as we got towards starting a train on me, I told him I decided getting exiled was better and I would appreciate his help.

Even with somewhat of a reason for wanting to be self-killed (it helps town, I kept saying), he still didn't want to vote me.  He wanted me to full-claim (at one point, in QT, then later he said just full-claim and self-vote in game), and I said the role wouldn't be as helpful then.  Finally, I blackmailed him by saying I would strongly recommend town kill him next day and self-claim if I have to, and if he was town, that would mean 2 of us die and basically give scum the win - it was at this point, he finally relented and voted for me in game.

Only after I self-hammered and explained the role in thread did he ask what my power was if I was killed at night, and I revealed that it was all a ruse because I didn't trust him.

We have exchanged a few messages since then.  And even though I've said I still mildly scum-read him, and I would appreciate some trust-building, he has basically offered me nothing in return, causing me to trust him even less.  At this point, he'd be one of my top scum guesses.  But at the same time, I know I usually distrust him and his posting style, so I'll also acknowledge that it could just be that... unfortunately, I know that's not very helpful!

After explaining role in game, I told MiX I'm leaning towards guessing 1, with some explanation, and he casually said he agrees.  Nothing strong for or against or any recommendations - totally not what I would expect from MiX in QT.  And even though I've tried to engage in QT, he's still not saying much.



People commenting about what I should guess:

MiX - says he thinks 1 would be the most informative (I think this was after I said I was leaning that way already in QT).

hyper - says 1 is a low-risk plan, but 0 or 2 might be high enough reward to go for (not much help here).

scola (not Reverse) - nicely summarizes data, and options for guessing, but didn't give a recommendation.

Eddie - says 0 has a nice upside if the answer is "yes", but would tend to recommend 1.

MiX - confirms that 1 would be the most informative

Glooble - says 0 is definitely the best guess because of potential reward

[at this point, I clarify that we should figure out how many scum we think are most likely on my wagon]

[we also clarify that it's "non-town", not "scum" for the guess, and that the guess is exact number, not "at least"]

Awaclus - logically states that finding out 1 out of the 4 are scum means very little, since that's effectively not knowing anything (it's basic probability), and recommends guessing 0... also stating that guessing 2 does not seem as good as guessing 0.

asher (not Reverse) - adamantly says 0 is best, since getting a "no" on any other guess isn't helpful (which I disagree with!).

scola - with logic, states that 1 is the worst choice, since a "no" is less than helpful, and would rather choose 0 instead of 2.

Eddie - waffles between 0 and 1, calling 0 the "safe play" and saying it's probably the best.

EFHW (not Reverse) - like me, disagrees with a guess of 0, since even though a "yes" is great, it's unlikely, and a "no" is really unhelpful since we all assume it's at least 1 on the wagon anyway.

[I publicly state I'm not going to guess 0, give a lot of explanation, including what could happen with a "yes" or "no" for any guess from 0 to 2, and what scum might tend to do in each of these situations as well]

Awaclus - states there is much more likely 0 scum on my wagon rather than 2+ since it "looks like a townie wagon", also states that knowing there is 1 scum on wagon is not as useless as we've all been saying since it can be helpful towards the end of the game (and while I agree it *can*, I don't think the conditions where it might be helpful are very likely to happen, since scum can probably keep conditions away from ending up there).

Glooble - continues to recommend 0, and also states that there are most likely 1 scum on wagon (and out of 0 and 2, they are probably equally likely).

Didds (not Reverse) - states that if there are 2 scum who know each other, it's quite likely that one is on wagon and the other is off.

scola - strongly prefers a guess of 0 or 2, since a "no" from a guess of 1 is quite useless

Galz (not Reverse) - the first person, I believe, to recommend guessing 2, arguing that a "yes" here is basically as useful as a "yes" to 0 guess, and that even a "no" almost definitely means 0 or 1 on wagon, where you would almost definitely suspect 1 and getting that distinction with a guess of 1 is much less clear (since 0 still plays into the game).

joth (not Reverse) - says we should guess 0, then after some reasoning, ends up convincing himself that maybe 1 is better since he's almost confident there aren't zero.

Awaclus - counters Galz' reasoning that 2 is better than 0 to guess, saying that getting a result from 0 would likely be more helpful, but his logic is dependent on who dies and when (which scum can control to some extent, to try and prevent us from getting to a useful state).

Galz (not Reverse) - replies to Awaclus, stating that if we assume there are likely more than 0 on the wagon, then guessing 2 is much clearly more indicative, regardless whether we get a yes or no (but when we get a "no" to 0, it's quite unhelpful), so the overall means 2 is a better choice still.

(a little more from joth and Awaclus)

EFHW (not Reverse) - states that the arguments for 2 seem better.

hyper - says 1 is probably the right decision.

Awaclus - states again that 1 is clearly the worst decision for a guess.



Now for a final summary and guess...

Post by: mathdude on May 09, 2021, 03:59:06 pm
After reading all that, and based on when/how the votes happened, who seemed to be hiding stuff in the voting period, who seemed to be hiding stuff or trying to sway opinions during the past 24 hours... who do I scum-read?  I'm not saying my scum-reads are going to be right, but I will say that they're not going to be influenced by scum pushing things in their favour nearly as much as a D2 or D3 set of votes and discussions.

MiX - I feel that he's quite possibly scum, as he didn't want to help kill me when I said it was for the best (which seems odd, because a scum would want an easy mis-exile, but he may have felt I was trying to trap him?)

Eddie - I have been mildly scum-reading him since he joined, and was strongly scum-reading faust beforehand.  And Eddie's logic here seemed to be trying to keep things less than useful with this guess.  He's quite possibly scum.

Awaclus - like my reading of MiX, I often scum-read his typical posting style early in a game.  I don't like some of his arguments.  I don't like that he still prefers 0 over 2.  But it seems to be coming from a genuine place.  I think wanting me to guess 0 is something scum would want if there was 1 or 2 on my wagon (which is quite likely), but I'm going to say Awaclus is likely town.

Glooble - I town-read his posting (more so than my reading of MiX and Awaclus), but given the same logic and wanting 0, I'm going to put him in the same boat as Awaclus.  He's for a bad number in my opinion, but it seems like he's doing it genuinely trying to be helpful.

hyper - between a lack of useful information, not much reasoning, and being the E-1 so casually, I think it's very possible he's scum.  I'd put him as a 50/50, because I really don't know.

For non-Reverse players, it seems EFHW and Galz are being the most helpful in this discussion.  Maybe that's how they always are.  Maybe they were around and available and many other Forward timeline players just didn't care to be around much (I know, a few others were).  They could be scum (either, but unlikely both), if their logic helped protect teammates.  But I think it's more likely that they're both Town.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: mathdude on May 09, 2021, 04:01:05 pm
Ok, now I'm fully caught up.

The fact that mathdude asked (begged) MiX to vote for him, and also voted for himself is big here. We of course don't know MiX is town, but his vote is very not scummy given it was engineered by mathdude.

It's kind of frustrating that mathdude took the hammer away from scum here too. Basically this is a really weird wagon because it was engineered by town and that makes it super hard to make assumptions about it.

hypercube E-1'd pretty casually. That could be scummy.

I guess if we have a conservative scum team, we're looking at zero or 1 and if we have an aggressive scum team we're looking at 2 at most. I think we can pretty much rule out three.

Because if MiX is scum, he was the second one to vote mathdude and his partners wouldn't jump on like that, at least not if there were two on the wagon already. They might hammer, if it looked like the best move, but they wouldn't vote in the third or fourth position.

I guess where I'm at here is that scum on this wagon, if any, are either Glooble or hypercube. Glooble AND hypercube is possible but unlikely. Maybe someone who has a better grasp of cube's meta can tell me whether he would E-1 a wagon with a partner on it this quickly & early in the day. But, contradicting what I said before, I think this could absolutely be an all-town wagon. Because of the weirdness of it.

I admire the gumption of pro-actively using this power like mathdude did and if it pays off it will be epic. But there are definite downsides.

I know the weekend exile wasn't ideal with a 24-hour timeline, and I wish I could have let scum hammer me (for a 5/2 split instead of 4/3).  But I also didn't want the wagon to fizzle out, and just hammered to make sure my role was used.  Sorry, but hopefully it all works out.

Also, thanks - I sure hope this pays off epically too!  I admit there are definitely potential downsides.  But I hope we've figured out where to go here - regardless of a "yes" or a "no".

Well that was underwhelming.

And also counter-intuitive.

The townspeople converge in the middle of a hotel lobby where there lays a dead body...
"What the hell is going on here?"

The result is about as worse as you could get, at least without any flips.

Hmm...I remember gkrieg talking about faust's plan, but nothing else. And barely anyone in active timeline did anything, in fact most of the italic voters were reverse anyway.

So, how are we going to vote now? I mean, active timeline barely got to do anything yesterday because math took over, and timelines being revealed means italic voting doesn't matter...so what do reverse people do?

Then of course there's the obligatory "Only one nightkill, guess it isn't multiball" "unless someone got doctored or both scum targeted the same person" 'Okay, the doctoring I'll give you but two scums independently targeting gkrieg seems like a huge stretch given that he didn't do all that much day one" conversation.

I'm glad you can do all that in 1 post. Usually it takes 2 people to get that through.

I'll put it down officially: that was definitely a terrible use of mathdude's power and it was a complete waste of time.

We know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube, mathdude

We got a mathdude, flip, so now we know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube

I mean...how is that useful in any meaningful way?

The argument for 0 was that we at least removed the single option that was different, in that it assured us of something, a guarantee that mafia was in the set.  We don't even have that.

I guess the argument was betting on 2 was the best chance at a big payout?  Like various odds at the craps table?  Man, that didn't work out.

While I was on the ZERO crew, I do think that 2 was better than 1 (Because 3 and 4 or scum on the math wagon was unlikely enough that it'll be worth starting with off wagon as suspects).

I think the italics plan by faust is a good one. Obviously overtly helpful faust is scum faust, so vote: faust.

I also don't know if not timeline claiming is a good thing. Not just for the targeting reasons that have been mentioned, but because we will have at least partially timeline claimed by the end of the day when the people from the current timeline vote for the person who has been hammered by italics votes. Not sure if it is good to let some people be unclaimed from a timeline while others get to not be timeline claimed.

The italics plan only works if timelines are unknown.

I'm saying that we are all going to have to vote at the end of the day, which will show who is with what timeline anyway.

So, we need to see if the active t/l people really can vote and be voted for?

Vote: Dylan

I agree that the scum are more likely to be in the people who pushed for guessing 2 or more generally are treating mathdude's wagon as a scum trap. Basically the train of thought "someone is acting weird and confrontational -> they're likely scum" is townier to me than "someone is acting weird and confrontational -> they're likely town doing this on purpose", because town is looking out for scum and scum is looking out for town with some plan that endangers their wincon.

So I'd vote: joth or vote: galzria if I could today.

Scum choosing to kill on the forward timeline (assuming that's a choice and not forced by the setup) is interesting to me since deactivating a N1 PR is an obvious advantage to choosing to kill on the reverse timeline. It could mean that town is somehow close to getting useful information out of mathdude's guess.

ashersky, do you really genuinely believe 1. that Swowl would make the setup with three scum in one timeline and 2. that all three scum would get on the same wagon?

I do not.

I think that no more than 2 scum per timeline is a relatively safe assumption. And if we assume that, then there is definitely at least one scum in [pps, chairs, Eddie] and no more than one scum in [me, MiX, hypercube, Awaclus], which is a pretty useful place to start tomorrow. And if I were scum, I would have killed on the forward timeline in order to avoid making town's poe in reverse even better. But that's just me.

One thing that does throw off this line of reasoning is the possibility of a non-scum third party, like a jester. But I do think ash is either wrong about the amount of information mathdude's power gave us or intentionally misrepresenting it, and since ash is typically better at this game than I am, I am leaning towards the latter.

So, vote: ashersky I guess. I can't actually vote, of course. But if I had a vote, that's where it would be right now.

Post by: Glooble on May 12, 2021, 10:09:27 am
Just to clarify- I'm not saying ash is scum because we disagree on this. I'm realizing that's probably how I came off. I do think that since as people keep dying in the RT we'll start to zero in on scum now that we've separated them into two buckets, it benefits scum to encourage the town to focus on super unlikely fringe scenarios (like 3 scum on a wagon) rather than trying to think about the most likely scenarios. And if I were a well-respected player with a reputation for being good at this kind of analysis, like ash, I would probably throw my weight behind trying to get people to consider these far-flung possibilities now, rather than after we've cornered someone when scum are scrambling for a way out of the P.O.E., cause it looks a lot less suspicious now.

OK, my double vote idea was pointless if I some how mistakenly chose a Forward as my second vote (which I did). Not sure why I thought Galz was reverse.

So I'll try this again for the next vote count:

Vote: pingpongsam

Vote: MiX

while I think more on a better, real vote. I do think other Forwards should join me and similarly vote 2 (other) Reversers.

Post by: scolapasta on May 12, 2021, 10:54:24 am
I generally agree with the thought that 2 per timeline is a relatively safe assumption and a good place to start. We should of course question it until proven correctly, but it does give us info.

Also, the thought that the way mathdude was acting, it is easy to consider that there were at least two town votes and so that also would help attack the 3+ non town on his wagon.

And I like gloobie's thoughts on, if it were 2, then it seems reasonable that scum would kill a forward because they were worried about giving us better PoE. It's a great point, that independent of that, killing a Reversers would have been better in case they hit a valuable PR. Especially given all the QTs, because that player wouldn't have to reveal immediately to the main thread, but could have to their QT partner.

Right. D1 I was very focused on hearing mathdude's side, since he was being exiled, but we should get MiX's side too. Of course there slightly less urgency - as if he dies, it doesn't matter any more. :)

I'm not a fan of town suiciding, and given I didn't know math's power, I was skeptical that the best way of using it was by being exiled. He also said something happened if he died at night, so I thought that was a reward, and being exiled was a consolation prize. Also, him suggesting that was super townie, and I didn't want town to die like that.

gkrieg being eliminated is a bummer, because I felt pretty good about him being town.

I'm really struggling to keep straight who was on which timeline to even know who I should be looking at right now.

I am a bit worried that the people who are pushing the whole 2 scum on each timeline are actually scum pushing us away from whatever the setup actually is. Unless someone has more concrete evidence, I don't remember seeing anything that suggests that other than someone speculating that it might be that, and it feels like a lot of play yesterday came from that assumption.

I agree that the two mafia per timeline thing is super terribad and anti-town.  It’s also insulting to the mod.  This is a 16-player setup.  To argue that only four non-town is somehow balanced is yucky. 

I could easily see a mafia team purposely voting together as a tactic. 

I could easily see mafia pressing for an exact number attempt instead of just confirming non-town on wagon as a defensive play.

If neither switched no vote won't show up (or change, since now I'm on galz; I should've unvoted first, but it shouldn't really make a difference) and we can quickly confirm 2 non switchers. If vote 1 switched, but not vote 2, we also confirm that with the double vote. Only if the the vote shows up for the Vote 2 does it matter -  that would mean either only vote 2 switched or both, but then we can just check 1 separately. Doing 2 at a time is just more efficient, until (unless) we confirm that any switcher exists.

More than 2 scum in a timeline is borderline impossible for town. You have to vote unanimously to exile anyone and if you misexile once and then scum succeeds on a nightkill town just loses. There is no way that's the setup. I'm sorry that's just math.

Only one scum in a timeline is the opposite problem, it's virtually impossible for scum to win.

If the setup is balanced, there are two scum per timeline. Unless it's multiball or we have neutral third parties of some sort. Which the "non-town" wording of math's power would lend support to.

Still, I think it's fine to start with the assumption of two scum per timeline.

3 and 1 scum in a timeline works if we converge timelines. This seems to go in line with timelines not being guaranteed to swap back and forth: they'll just stop eventually.

Other than that, I think you're right.

I'll put it down officially: that was definitely a terrible use of mathdude's power and it was a complete waste of time.

We know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube, mathdude

We got a mathdude, flip, so now we know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube

I mean...how is that useful in any meaningful way?

The argument for 0 was that we at least removed the single option that was different, in that it assured us of something, a guarantee that mafia was in the set.  We don't even have that.

I guess the argument was betting on 2 was the best chance at a big payout?  Like various odds at the craps table?  Man, that didn't work out.

You can really read this as scum actually being worried about the info we gained from math's power and rushing in first thing in the day to throw smoke up and discredit it.

joth and Glooble are the ones that seem scared, flailing, and doing their very best to convince town of a "fact" that is definitely just a random, terrible opinion.

Hey, town, it's clear that there MUST be this X factor in the game because any other option would be crazy and unfair!

That's a completely unsubstantiated, and honestly insulting, kind of statement to continue pushing.  I'd expect it from certain playstyles, like MiX, but joth/glooble are general more thoughtful, insightful, and open to the opinions of others and the infinite possibilities of creativity.

I mean, glooble even shoots his own lie in the foot when he admits to the wrench being thrown in the assumption when he points out the requirement of non-town as the wording.

There is ZERO proof or certainty that there are exactly two non-town players in one or both timelines. None. Only the non-town teams themselves could possibly know that, and even then, they can't know if there are other non-town players.

So continuing to parade around this lie as truth is anti-town at best and malicious at worst.

All players agree to only vote for one of the two (joth or me).
All players can and should participate in making and refuting cases on both.
No hammers until whichever player gets to E-1 first has a chance to claim/not claim/etc.

ash keeps using these terms "truth and lie" and it's really manipulative. Show me where I claimed to have any knowledge, ash. All I did was agree with, and offer some support for, a reasonable default hypothesis that many others have put forward. I've taken an incredibly innocuous and non-controversial position and I've taken it in a fairly level-headed, open-minded way.

You, on the other hand, have gone to the mattresses to defend a fairly unlikely assertion, calling anything else "insulting" and "absurd". And now you're trying to make this into something that it isn't to get me exiled.

And no, town absolutely won't actually exile you after I flip. If I thought they would, I might consider embracing your 1v1. But you know you have an entire timeline cycle for people to forget about this and that you'll easily be able to weasel out.

These 1v1s are basically always bad for town. I choose not to take your bait. Though I'm also not moving my vote.

Only 7 are really playing, and if you look at the roster, I'm the most active player, and I'm busy for this day.

The joth vs ash """conflict""" is really bad, but I'm not exactly opposed to a joth flip either.

I seem to recall ash trying this exact play on me in our first game together, in Imperial Radch mafia. We were both town. I am pretty sure we lost that game.

Also, I reread this part, and that's just a coincidence, the 1v1 had little to do with the outcome of that game.

I was finding joth a bit scummy on day 1. He seems more like town joth to me now, but I don't feel strongly enough about that to have my alignment tied to his the way ash is proposing. That being said, gun to my head, if you asked me who is acting scummier right now, I'd say ash. But I also think its totally possible they are both just town with different perspectives.

Like, does scum ash get combative like this? I've seen town ash do it. Seems like a big gamble to me, like what's the benefit? If ash is scum here, what's his ideal outcome? That we reject his plan but still give him townpoints for having it? That we exile joth then don't follow through when he flips town?

I can't vote, and it doesn't seem like there's anything else I could do that would benefit town at the moment. I guess I could try to play some kind of WIFOM against scum in some way but they have more information than I do, and I have no reason to feel confident I'm that much better at the game than they are. So, as far as I can tell, for the time being it's for the best if I just keep my thoughts to myself.

Is there more to ash's plan than just exiling either him or joth today? I've read the game but it's a bit hard to follow under the side effects of 40 mg of cetirizine, so if someone could summarize it in as few words as possible, that would be nice.

That's how I read the plan; with the addition that if wrong, exile the other tomorrow. Seems like a 1v1 you'd get with two claimed Cops in a gme with only 1. Except it's not really built on any such reasoning. Just reads. (unless I missed something)

Ash used some specific terminology that suggests he may have some info on Joth. Maybe he got it from a QT partner? At any rate, he promised some showdown action so I am awaiting his return fire. He definitely acted as if the other play was a diversion so surely he wouldn't be diverting things himself?

I think joth is scummy, but the shoot out idea just seems like drama. I don't believe ash answered my question, which is kind of scummy. But I need to double check that.

ashersky being insulted by the 2 non town on each timeline theory is perplexing. I thought Glooble's logic on the subject made sense.

How are  you so sure joth is not town?

This one?  I hadn't responded to any posts since you asked this, so it isn't bad that I didn't respond yet.

I'm so sure that I am town.  He threw shade my way first, so I'm responding.  I do think that pressing on with the "exactly two non-town per timeline is the only possible setup that we should consider here and all other thoughts are anti-town" line of thinking is absolutely what mafia does in this situation, and that's what it appears to me that joth (and Glooble) are doing.  MiX is halfheartedly playing that game, which seems less anti-town than normal for him, so I don't know what that means.

So, joth's posts on this matter have be convinced he is non-town.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 2
Post by: ashersky on May 14, 2021, 01:14:50 am
I'll put it down officially: that was definitely a terrible use of mathdude's power and it was a complete waste of time.

We know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube, mathdude

We got a mathdude, flip, so now we know that exactly 0, 1, 3, or 4 of the following set of players is non-town: Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube

I mean...how is that useful in any meaningful way?

The argument for 0 was that we at least removed the single option that was different, in that it assured us of something, a guarantee that mafia was in the set.  We don't even have that.

I guess the argument was betting on 2 was the best chance at a big payout?  Like various odds at the craps table?  Man, that didn't work out.

You can really read this as scum actually being worried about the info we gained from math's power and rushing in first thing in the day to throw smoke up and discredit it.

That's what I was trying to say. Thank you for saying it in a clearer way.

Here's where I specifically see joth and Glooble tied together.

Here's a post in which joth states unequivocally that the 2 non-town per timeline hypothesis is perfect and unquestionable.

Wrong is a binary adjective here (am I using the right descriptor?).  There's only wrong and right, no other options, is what I mean.  As he declares I am wrong, he is declaring also that what I am wrong about is right.  Not probable, not likely, not more reasonable.  Right.  Correct.  Exact.

Absolutely no one is saying this is an absolute truth. That's a flimsy strawman and you know it. We're saying this is a reasonable assumption to work off of in the absence of more or better information.

Straight up lie.  I just quoted you saying it is an absolute truth.

Exile All Liars.  I mean, that's never been a thing that anyone follows, but still.

You are NOT saying it is a reasonable assumption to work off of.  You 100% said I was wrong, which can only be predicated on the 2 non-town theory being right.

Or do you plan on walking back your previous statement all of a sudden when you've been caught in a lie of epic proportions?

To ensure you can't try to escape this argument, breaking down your language further, you use "in addition to being wrong..."  That phrasing is clearly meant to show that my "wrongness" is self-evident and obvious, without need for further discussion.  Everyone can see he's wrong, but there's also these other things...is what you were writing.

That does not track at all with an argument that what I am arguing against "is a reasonable assumption to work off of in the absence of more or better information."

So, within a very short space of time, you contradicted yourself.  You made one assertion, I called you out on it and drew attention to you, and you immediately tried to back track and paint yourself in a better light.

Note, I am only using your own posts to make this point.  These are your words, not mine.

woweee what a stretch. Ok. I didn't know this was going to become a debate about what words mean.

You can ACTUALLY use wrong to refer to opinions, i.e.

ash: McDonalds is way better than Burger King
joth: You are so wrong

In that situation no one would ever assume I was making a hard factual assertion about the relative merits of fast food. They would assume I was emphatically stating my differing opinion. Which is the sense in which I was using it.

I do think ash is scum simply because this seems so much to me like a bad faith argument, and those come from scum.

I was scumreading Glooble yesterday but now less so.

I need to do a proper reread and do some real scumhunting instead of letting ash distract me with his BS. Perhaps I'll have time today.

This artificially created 1v1 is annoying. Ash is clearly misrepresenting what joth and gloobie said. I mean I said a lot of the same stuff too, so why doesn't he include me as well in his "lying scum" list?

joth may still be scum, but he's correct that he never asserted 2 scum per TL is absolute.

And ash trying to argue this is either scummy or at best a major, artificially created, disaster.

I have no idea what to make of this forced 1v1. I think I've seen Ash make plays and semantic arguments about language like this as both alignments, but o definitely remember it most clearly as scum vs town!MiX several games ago. But, that was a lot later in the game and scum!ash was in a situation where he needed a Hail Mary to win that game, so doing this D1 is just weird. Then reading Joth's responses, I can convince myself it's from either mindset depending on how I choose to read it. Barring an actual result on one of them, I think I would rather look elsewhere for now (not looking right this second, but next time I'm not on mobile I'll will).

Reading D2 again so far, and about all I know is that I won't be voting EFHW or scola for today unless they darn near scumslip.  Actually, based off nothing but my gut,

Honestly, ash's comment really rubs me the wrong way. In addition to being wrong, it's combative and AtE.

vote: ash

Here's a post in which joth states unequivocally that the 2 non-town per timeline hypothesis is perfect and unquestionable.

Wrong is a binary adjective here (am I using the right descriptor?).  There's only wrong and right, no other options, is what I mean.  As he declares I am wrong, he is declaring also that what I am wrong about is right.  Not probable, not likely, not more reasonable.  Right.  Correct.  Exact.

woweee what a stretch. Ok. I didn't know this was going to become a debate about what words mean.

You can ACTUALLY use wrong to refer to opinions, i.e.

ash: McDonalds is way better than Burger King
joth: You are so wrong

In that situation no one would ever assume I was making a hard factual assertion about the relative merits of fast food. They would assume I was emphatically stating my differing opinion. Which is the sense in which I was using it.

I win.

"Hi, my name is joth, and I like to use false analogies to make ash look bad.  Nice to meet you."

Of course you can use wrong to refer to opinions.  Your McDonald's example does a good job.  Except the conversation we are having in this game is not about opinions, it is about facts.  So, your analogy is misleading and bad.  Instead, look at something like this:

ash: The United States has 51 states.
joth: You are wrong.

That's the analogy you should be making here.  You are saying I'm incorrect because it is common knowledge (for adult Americans, at least), that it's 50 states.

Actually, this one might be even better:

ash: I believe Brad Pitt is 55 years old.
joth: You are wrong.  He's 57.

Here, it's a fact that is probably not super common knowledge.  Maybe you are a Pitt superfan.  Or you googled.  Even better:

ash:  I think Ray Kroc founded McDonald's in 1955.
joth:  Wrong.  Kroc founded it in 1947.  He fought in WWII, came back, and after two years working in his father's factory, decided to start a burger joint.

Joth corrects a fact and even provides supporting facts.  Except it's all lies.  It is 1955.

Voting joth is the only option for any town-aligned player.

This artificially created 1v1 is annoying. Ash is clearly misrepresenting what joth and gloobie said. I mean I said a lot of the same stuff too, so why doesn't he include me as well in his "lying scum" list?

joth may still be scum, but he's correct that he never asserted 2 scum per TL is absolute.

And ash trying to argue this is either scummy or at best a major, artificially created, disaster.

I am not clearly misrepresenting anything.  The only thing I'm doing is clearly representing.  joth is the one misrepresenting.

I'm happy to include you in the lying list, if you insist.  I take that to mean you are admitting to lying?  I appreciate that.  Definitely awesome of you.

You claim "here's a post in which joth states unequivocally...", focusing, apparently, on his use of "wrong" here. So what is he responding to (since you don't quote that)?

Well, two posts before that, he also commented on one of yours:

I agree that the two mafia per timeline thing is super terribad and anti-town.  It’s also insulting to the mod.  This is a 16-player setup.  To argue that only four non-town is somehow balanced is yucky. 

You yourself said that this is essentially two games of mafia interlocked with each other. Why is it such a stretch to think that scum would be equally represented in the two games?

So, I think it's fair to assume that the "wrong" refers to this. So which part of are your quote is a fact? I guess "this is a 16-player setup" is there, but it's clear that joth is NOT calling that line wrong. All three other sentences are, in fact, opinions

So, again, trying to claim that joth said "wrong" to a factual statement is at best a misunderstanding on your part, at best a lie. (though a weird one, since it didn't take long to go back and find these posts)

Find a post where anyone has said that the setup is 100% 2 scum per timeline, and not just that it's a fair assumption to start with.

Here's joth:

joth and Glooble are the ones that seem scared, flailing, and doing their very best to convince town of a "fact" that is definitely just a random, terrible opinion.

No, you're the dum-dum head!

Quote
There is ZERO proof or certainty that there are exactly two non-town players in one or both timelines. None. Only the non-town teams themselves could possibly know that, and even then, they can't know if there are other non-town players.

So continuing to parade around this lie as truth is anti-town at best and malicious at worst.

Absolutely no one is saying this is an absolute truth. That's a flimsy strawman and you know it. We're saying this is a reasonable assumption to work off of in the absence of more or better information.


Here's Gloobie:

More than 2 scum in a timeline is borderline impossible for town. You have to vote unanimously to exile anyone and if you misexile once and then scum succeeds on a nightkill town just loses. There is no way that's the setup. I'm sorry that's just math.

Only one scum in a timeline is the opposite problem, it's virtually impossible for scum to win.

If the setup is balanced, there are two scum per timeline. Unless it's multiball or we have neutral third parties of some sort. Which the "non-town" wording of math's power would lend support to.

Still, I think it's fine to start with the assumption of two scum per timeline.


And here's me:

I generally agree with the thought that 2 per timeline is a relatively safe assumption and a good place to start. We should of course question it until proven correctly, but it does give us info.

Post by: ashersky on May 15, 2021, 12:18:41 am
The argument is two non-town per timeline or not.  That's what we've been arguing about the entire time.

To me, it's clear that Glooble and joth, at the very least, are stating that there are two non-town per timeline.  I stated something to the contrary and joth said I was wrong.

Could joth be incorrect instead of lying?  That possibility exists.  But if he is making these assertions while knowing someone else is true, then he's lying, and that's my supposition.

His saying I was wrong is an easy example illustrating his perpetuation of the lie itself, which is that there are two non-town per timeline.

(Note, I do not in fact know the number of non-town per timeline.  There could be two, and I could be wrong.  This would be the Brad Pitt example.  But then, why would joth know for a fact the number of non-town unless he is, in fact, non-town?)

These three posts are not equal.  Equating them is misleading and confusing.

For example, you are discussing the topic as an assumption and even add a caveat about the need to question it.  That's fine and I took no issue with it; hence no discussion of you as possibly lying non-town.

Glooble is pretty clearly stating that 2 non-town is the clear and only truth in the universe.  He even says "there are two scum in the timeline" specific as a requirement for the setup to be balanced.  I absolutely disagree, as there are a multitude of ways to ensure balance with different numbers of non-town players.  But he makes a statement of fact, not of opinion, when he uses "there are" without a "probably" or "I think" attached to it.  He could have said "there should be" or "it is most likely that" or anything.  He chose not to, a specific and direct choice that speaks to his aim and purpose.  He either knows or believes it to be a fact.  This is not an opinion.

The quote you chose for joth is one I responded to, and has nothing to do with his original claims regarding the topic of discussion, so I don't know why you quoted it.  He just says out of the blue that "absolutely no one is saying this is an absolute truth" even though Glooble did in the post you quoted, and I think he did in past posts, even if not using those exact words.

Another point for thought:

If this were town v town and I am just wrong, wouldn't mafia be helping this along?  Going with me is a generally safe play and it's easy enough to blame the outcome on me in the end.  I am literally providing mafia with a super easy mis-exile of a usually strong town player.  Mafia have zero reason to distance or defend joth here.

Dude, I did already vote. For you. Ages ago.

You completely ignored the post where I posted actual quotes that show how you are misrepresenting joth's "wrong". (note, not the post with quotes that you did respond to, which was a separate thing)

Re: that 2nd post
From the examples I gave, I quoted the full text so you / others could see the context. I guess I should have bolded the "assumption" parts, but I assumed that would be clear. I just don't get this desire to keep claiming these things when the evidence is there that you are wrong in what you claim joth is saying.

Joth:
"Absolutely no one is saying this is an absolute truth. That's a flimsy strawman and you know it. We're saying this is a reasonable assumption to work off of in the absence of more or better information."

Gloobie:
"If the setup is balanced, there are two scum per timeline. Unless it's multiball or we have neutral third parties of some sort. Which the "non-town" wording of math's power would lend support to.

Still, I think it's fine to start with the assumption of two scum per timeline."

You wrote:
"He even says "there are two scum in the timeline" specific as a requirement for the setup to be balanced.  I absolutely disagree, as there are a multitude of ways to ensure balance with different numbers of non-town players"

BUT YOU CHOOSE TO GINORE THE "UNLESS" CLAUSE, WHERE HE AGREES WITH EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

So, as I've said, it's clear you are trolling, I just don't get why. And you can it hedging all you want to try to add suspicion of me, but whatever. I think it's reasonable to point out that my "defense" of joth is not about his scumminess / towness, but just you tasking out of context and trying to create an artificial 1v1.


Humor me for a bit - pretend you agree with me that you are purposefully trolling. What reasons could you reasonably have to do that as town in a game?
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 2
Post by: ashersky on May 15, 2021, 03:05:45 am
If you disagree with my 1v1 argument, why are you taking part?  You clearly are taking joth's side over mine, so you have chosen in the 1v1.  To be clear, that's absolutely fine with me.  It was my suggestion in the first place.  Just stop saying you disagree with the 1v1 or whatever, because you are clearly playing along.

Your defense of glooble is sound, and while I've listed glooble in my suspicions, it's definitely more because of his tie to joth than his statements.  I've clearly been focused on joth here, not glooble.  I still think he made a strong statement of fact that there are 2 non-town per timeline given his own words.  He then adds the unless as a hedge.  It's like "I'm positive I left my keys on the table...unless I'm misremembering."  The first half of that is an objective statement, not a subjective one.  Same with glooble's thing.

As for humoring you?  If I was trolling (by which I assume you mean purposefully doing annoying things for the sake of annoyance?), I would assume it would have to be for laughs?  I mean, why do trolls troll anyway?

If you mean that I am purposefully continuing an argument that I actually know to be flawed/wrong/weak/useless/whatever you think for some reason other than the actual argument I'm making, then I guess others have mentioned that it could be to force reactions from players, gain information by seeing how players perform under pressures or in response to specific claims, etc.

It's none of that though.  If anything, I'd say the closest thing you might recognize would be MiXing.  I know I'm town, I know I'm right, and I won't stop until you believe me or exile me.

The funny thing is, this is so incredibly easy to solve.  Agree to the 1v1.  That's all it takes.  Even if joth doesn't, if everyone else does, we can ensure the exile is him or me.

Maybe I can phrase it differently:

Do you think I'm lying?  Or do you think I'm wrong?

If it's the former, you have to decide why, probably settle on me being not town, and would look to exile me.
if it's the latter, you have to accept that it's possible I'm town and wrong, or that you are wrong and I'm right.

That's if you want to make this about me.  I'd rather you make it about joth.

Do you think he's lying?  Or do you think he's right?  Or do you think he's wrong?  Or do you think it is some mix of those?

Decide what that means to you.  Like, if he's on a 3-person mafia team with 1 in this timeline and 2 in the other, than I'd say he's just lying.  Yes, he's wrong, but being wrong on purpose, so I wouldn't give him that adjective.  But if he's an SK with no further knowledge, then he's lying, but could be right or wrong at the same time.

I guess he could be lying town, but that seems unlikely.  Only very few of us go that route.

Lying about what? It seems your entire argument stems from the supposed fact that joth is saying he knows there's exactly two scum in each timeline. If he was saying that, then it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, he's either lying or he's scum.

As for you, lying about what? You haven't made any absolute statements as far as I can tell, unless the statement is "joth is absolutely stating that there's exactly two scum in each timeline", which is an opinion.

Here's what I think: you are completely overexaggerating joth's statement, and joth is responding to it like he would as scum. So he's probably scum. This has nothing to do with the original argument, just the way joth's responding by saying "oh yes actually everything I have said is perfectly rational and therefore your argument is incorrect" instead of saying "yeah yeah yeah I don't care cause I'm town lolololol" (not that he would say that, but I don't know the joth equivalent).

So if we aren't going to actually take sides on the shootout, vote people. Let's start a wagon so we actually have something to look at later.

Not Voting (1): Galzria

Combining that vote count with a couple town reads of mine, I'm thinking it's either two of {Didds, Ash, Galz} or {Joth, Galz}. I don't think scum would be bussing here. (I'm going to ignore the case where there is only one scum on this timeline, because partner analysis obviously means nothing in that case, even though it's technically possible).

If joth is scum (and no bussing), scum would be in {scola, Galz}. After BSGs1 being scum partners with scola, I just think this is town scola. At the very least, I don't think scola and Joth are partners, because this hasn't sounded like how scola played in relation to Jack and I that game. Thus, I'm left with thinking Joth and Galz are a possible team. If there are more than 2 scum teammates on this timeline, then on the one hand bussing would be less risky, but it would be almost completely unnecessary. So assuming they aren't, that would leave {Joth, scola, Galz} as partners in that case.

If Ash is scum, there are obviously more combinations, like {Ash, Didds | EFHW | Galz}. Based on very little except a gut read based on past games, I think EFHW is town. I don't feel as strongly about this as my read on scola, but it's there. So {Ash, Didds | Galz}. If Ash isn't scum though (and Joth isn't either), then at least 2 of {scola, EFHW, Didds, Galz} are scum, and if I take out my town reads I'm left with Didds and Galz.

Normally, I wouldn't think stuff like this is very useful, and maybe it's not, but it feels like with this setup being what it is, I think scum not bussing a timeline partner early feels like a very safe assumption to make, which cuts out quite a few of the possible combos based on these wagons.

Based on Galz being in both of the possible sets, part of me wants to move my vote there, but I'm going to stick with Didds for now.

Lying about what? It seems your entire argument stems from the supposed fact that joth is saying he knows there's exactly two scum in each timeline. If he was saying that, then it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, he's either lying or he's scum.

This really is what's weird to me about ash's argument - if joth is telling the truth he's scum, so why frame it as exiling joth for lying. It's a lapse in logic on ash's part but I'm not sure  that it's an alignment-indicative one.

I do think that joth's comment about ash being "wrong" could be a scumslip, and I don't like his reaction to ash's pressure. That and his reaction to mathdude's exile is enough that I'd be voting for him today if I could.

Ashersky (2): Joth, scolapasta
Joth (1): WCD

Not Voting (4): EFHW, Ashersky, Dylan, Galzria

With 7 alive on the ACTIVE TIMELINE, it takes 4 to Exile.
Day 2 ends Tuesday, May 18th at 4:55pm Forum Time.


This is what's actually happening today, right?

vote: joth although that's obvious.  That makes it 2 each.  Galz needs to catch up, not sure what EFHW and Dylan are thinking.

So ash is putting Joth to L-1 here, either having missed EFHWs vote or intentionally leaving it out to get an “accidental” hammer before joth can claim.

Whether it’s an accident or intentional, there’s almost 5 hours between this vote and Swowl posting 2.4, indicating that joth is actually at L-1. During that time, if joth is town, any scum in the forward timeline not already voting for him would have had perfect cover to “accidentally” hammer.

I feel like there’s something useful here, I just don’t have time to fully dig into it right now.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 2
Post by: Glooble on May 16, 2021, 08:56:05 am
I guess this mostly just applies to Dylan- he posted during that interval, I think if he were scum and joth were town it’s likely he wouldn’t have been able to pass up the chance to hammer and pretend he thought he was just putting joth to E-1. Galz was not around, and scola had already expressed such strong feels towards exiling ash that a swap would have looked too suspicious.

Wait a sec I just looked at the times again, I missed the AM/ PM shift. It wasn’t 5 hours it was 16- 3:33 am to 7:54 pm. That’s a long time.

EFHW didn’t post during this interval so it’s possible she wasn’t around, but I think it’s a tad scummy of her not to have pointed out the error.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 2
Post by: Glooble on May 16, 2021, 08:58:58 am
So, in summary, ash is scummy for saying he was putting joth at E-2 when he was putting him at E-1, though I won’t rule out an honest mistake. EFHW is scummy for not pointing out her vote, though it’s possible she didn’t check in during that time, it was 16 hours which is a significant amount of time not to check into the game. And if joth is town, then I think Dylan is probably town, because he would have passed up a great opportunity to secure a misexile with an excellent excuse.

I will say that Joth has been acting slightly more townie in private than he has in the main thread.

Not much, but enough that I found it worth mentioning.

The main issue I am having is that both versions of a Joth would be frustrated at Ash right now.

I guess I feel pretty confident that Ash and Joth ain’t scum buddies, but that’s it.

Glooble's two game observation suggests to me that there is an even number of scum, most likely 4, or two teams of two. Is that balanced for a 16 player game? Maybe there's a 3rd party, too.

Just pointing out that EFHW started discussion on this topic on day 1. Wonder why ash didn't jump in then? Could it be because his outrage is entirely artificial?

I just re-read D1 and honestly, I got nothing. Pretty much everyone in this timeline barely participated yesterday. Ash did nearly 100% setup talk. Didds barely checked in. EFHW was the most participate-y and mostly tunneled on me, which I could try to make a case out of but it would just look like OMGUS. For the record it was a bad case but struck me as a towny bad case. I don't even remember scola, Dylan, or Galz's posts or lack thereof.

Should I claim? Would that be helpful?

Roleblockers have been flavored as prostitutes from the early days of mafia. I think the idea is that they distract the target for the night. If you search prostitute on mafiascum wiki it redirects to roleblocker.

Roleblocker is also, of course, a popular anti-town role for anti-town alignments.  Town versions exist, which make them a go-to claim for mafia.

But it’s hard to say.

He seems bewildered as to how I (or anyone) could possibly see Ash as Townier than him.

It’s hard to say, I haven’t had the best track record at reading Joth.

He also did claim to be a scummy role to me few days ago, so his fakeclaim was either figured out days ago, or it isn’t fake.

I honestly can’t make heads or tails of him.

I scum leaned him day 1, but his posts to me directly have left me closer to null.

Hmmm...  if there are two baddies on our timeline, and it takes 4 to exile, then we (town) pretty much all need to be on the same page to make that happen.

That Joth has been cold chilling at E-1 for like a day now is interesting in that regard. In the last game I played when someone couldn’t get exiled, it was because they were scum. Glooble leanibg way in to defend Joth is interesting to me, too.

I’m not quite sure what up make of Dylan’s vote for me, or Galz’s absence. Absent Galz is often scum Galz. Do we know who his qt-mate is? Has he shown up there? The odds of no exile go way up if someone just stays away, but that seems to suit scum way better than town as long as we’re in split timelines.

I’m heading back to the States this afternoon. I think I’ll have WiFi for most of that time so I should be around more.

If I could vote right now, I would have just moved my vote from ash to EFHW. Because if ash v. joth is town v. town, then scum!EFHW not pointing out ash's error makes a lot more sense to me than town!EFHW just not noticing. And if ash is scum and joth is town, same thing. It becomes a concerted ploy to trick a townie into hammering while thinking they're just putting joth to E-1. And if they're caught "oh, sorry, we just didn't notice, we made a mistake."

Well, I'll buy one player of their caliber making that mistake. But both? For 16 hours? No, sorry.

Defensive scum posturing intended to make ash's play look scummy I guess? It looks like a pretty straightforward defense of being targeted scum instead of actually, say, scum hunting.

Quote
And no, town absolutely won't actually exile you after I flip.

Here we are with the absolutes that only scum can have. Why would we flip ash if Joth flips scum. It'd be a ballsy and unnecessary bus so I don't think we'd wager that chance until some investigative results indicated we should.

Quote
If I thought they would, I might consider embracing your 1v1...These 1v1s are basically always bad for town....I'm also not moving my vote.

So basically, if he thought this could work out to his advantage he'd take the bait. Also note the wishy washiness of the "almost" always statement. Instead of saying these are never good for town he's implying that maybe this one right here actually is.


I get what he's trying to say but how he says it seems telling to me. I don't see how anyone reads this as anything but scum. I'd like to see your interpretation of it, though.

I already answered this question with regards to how I personally view the wagon. I suppose at this point it would just be a question about the worthiness of my playstyle. What I would not have done is joined the wagon early with that type of baiting. So I am assuming that if Joth were town then the early voters were as well. I would agree with arguments that no one else would play like me, I guess. This is ash we're talking about, though, and I like to think I can read him better than most. I don't see scum ash doing this. I don't see town ash doing this without supporting evidence to do so which he alluded to.

Just want to point out the hypocrisy of "If we assume two scum" here while people are literally about to exile joth for assuming two scum. Because if, as Ash says, it could be 1 and 3 or 4 and 0 or any other random combination, than why would a stalled wagon be indicative of anything? If you want to use the "stalled wagon = scum" argument against joth, you have to acknowledge that he and I have a point about the likelyhood of 2 scum per timeline, and then your whole case on joth pretty much falls apart.

Here we are with the absolutes that only scum can have. Why would we flip ash if Joth flips scum. It'd be a ballsy and unnecessary bus so I don't think we'd wager that chance until some investigative results indicated we should.

Quote
If I thought they would, I might consider embracing your 1v1...These 1v1s are basically always bad for town....I'm also not moving my vote.

So basically, if he thought this could work out to his advantage he'd take the bait. Also note the wishy washiness of the "almost" always statement. Instead of saying these are never good for town he's implying that maybe this one right here actually is.


I get what he's trying to say but how he says it seems telling to me. I don't see how anyone reads this as anything but scum. I'd like to see your interpretation of it, though.

I think you're completely misunderstanding this interaction. Joth was saying, "If I flip town, the town won't exile you." He was basically telling ash that he believes that if he accepted the one-on-one and Ash won, ash would find some way to weasel out of actually getting exiled, and given that he wouldn't be eligible to be exiled again until day 4 anyway, he'd have plenty of time to do it. In between we'd had all manner of night actions and things that would present a stronger case, or that scum!ash could spin as reasons not to follow through with town's promise to exile him if joth flipped town.

Because if there's only one scum in the forward timeline then the "wagon stalled because joth is scum" argument doesn't work. Because the only scum would be joth.

I think 2 scum/timeline is the most likely scenario. That's different from saying it's wrong to consider other options.

In any case my read on joth isn't based on him saying there are 2 scum/timeline - I was scumreading him for other reasons D1 and I think he overreacted to ash pushing him.

That's fair. I guess I just don't see the defensiveness everyone else seems to be seeing from joth. And I am seeing this kind of bullying behavior from ash where he's trying to make people seem dumb for not taking his side, and that comes off way scummier to me than joth's defense.

My initial thought was that you weren't on during the period in question, but then when you responded to me, you said you "didn't notice it". That, to me, implied that you'd seen the vote and just not noticed. Because if you hadn't been online, why wouldn't you have just said "I wasn't online"?

Well this interpretation is exactly what led me to consider that they might both be scum because it still reeks of knowing Ash's alignment. As town with ash coming in like this the arguments would appear more questioning than diminishing. Also, in the event they are both scum this comes off as a some Ericksonian hypnotism for everyone else.

I see this 1v1 as forcing us to choose at two forks. Fork 1: are either players likely scum? Fork 2: if so which one and why? if not who else is and why?

Call me lazy but I chose yes at Fork 1 and now maybe I am trying to logically rationalize an emotional decision in Fork 2.

This seemed like kind of a nothing issue, so I didn't nail down the details until today. I did notice ash seeming not to know where I was on the joth issue, which seemed strange. But I figured he'd catch on. And I was probably reading that post after the correct vc had been posted. It wasn't on my radar at all that there was such a low number needed to exile. Should have been, but wasn't.

I literally don’t understand what you’re saying here.

Can you tell me why there's been no hammer or intent to hammer if Joth is town? I see a sustained stalled E-1 as indicative of scum. Picking on the town who put him there is what I am calling scummy.

There's been no hammer or intent to hammer because it takes four to exile and there aren't four players who want to exile joth? Because he's town.

That's disingenuous to what I am saying. I'm saying that the way you are speaking implies hidden knowledge. In the one case you are certain there will be no retaliation if you are flipped. This makes sense if you flip scum. In the other case you could absolutely say that 1v1 is bad for town but here I see slight hedging suggesting that maybe in this case it wouldn't be as bad for town as you would like us to believe.

When's deadline?

Yes. Deadline is later today at 4:55

@ash, what's your real reason for tunneling joth? The "he said there are absolutely 2 scum per timeline" argument hasn't made sense to anyone.

This is essentially asking for a claim, tho, let's drop the pretense. I really prefer to trust our town PRs when they are self evident without forcing obvlaims for scum to work around.

OK, I'm switching my vote to see if this goes anywhere:

Vote: WCD

Scola, this is a bad idea. I know we have been at odds in the last few games, but this isn’t one of them. At the very least, odds would have us on the together this game so trust that even if you don’t trust me.

Odds don't really work that way, assuming you mean because we have been on opposite sides the last few games.

So all these joth voters - are you committed to vote ash D4 as was the suggested 1v1?

If not, then whatever. If you're going to vote on the manufactured 1v1 you should vote for the one who manufactured it.

I still don't get why ash did that (either as town or scum*), have asked, and gotten no suitable answer.

* unless it's the get joth exiled and swing away from getting voted D4, hence my opening question

I'm currently more inclined to think WCD and EFHW are scum, to be honest.

When you say " all these Joth voters", you mean me and Ash, and for awhile EFHW.  There isn't a bevy of people you're talking about.  I voted for Joth in my testing the FT people, but I kept my vote on him because of the way that he responded to Ash, and especially because of Glooble's super-vigorous defense which I think is VERY STRANGE and not at all townie unless Glooble know something he isn't telling us.  I am not at all interested in the 1v1 other than the reaction that it has provoked.

There are more town than scum. It seems like there is a better chance that we are both town than not. But numbers are not my jam. I was really just saying we have lots of reasons to distrust one another since we have each been engaged in active deception for the last 6 weeks, but its not helpful in this game for us to start from that place.

Same as Didds here. The 1:1 is not why I voted joth. I was scumreading him before then. I unvoted to incentivize ash to actually spell out a reason that makes sense, which would help me to townread ash and continue on my way.

Glooble's defense has become so out there that his being partners with joth is seeming less likely.

Well, those 3 and whoever (Dylan?) turns out to be the hammer. My point is if we exile joth and he's town, and then don't follow through with Ash, then scum!ash gets exactly what he wants.

Part of why I decided not to be part of the 1v1 anymore (but if I switch back, will vote for the one who manufactured it)

What is so strange about Gloobie's defense of joth? And why not mine as well. I think both of us have basically said the defense is not based on knowing joth is town, but on the fact that the attacks on him are completely made up BS.

It's like if I said, I'm voting for WCD because on D1 she flat out said "I am scum". So everyone should vote for her, because she said that and this game is so easy. (and yes this is an exaggeration, but not by much)

Solid argument, can't disagree there. Wish someone had brought that up earlier, haha. I was literally assuming Joth to be scum because ash made a statement suggesting he had results.

Huh, interesting unvote there, EFHW.

From BSG season 1:

Also, everyone assuming exactly 3 cylon-aligned, or most likely it's three, or whatever, just stop.

14 players opens up a lot of space.  With third parties and RMM interactions, I'd put the minimum at 4 and maximum at 6.5 non-town players.  How many of those are Cylon-aligned?  Can't know what unless you are cylon-aligned, and maybe not even then.

Using these assumptions only serves to obfuscate.

At least Ash is consistent. In that moment of BSG, no one really made a big deal about this, so it didn't become a main point in the conversation, so I don't think this was something scum!Ash would have thought of to be like, "Hey, I made that comment last game as town, I should go all in on this view to look like my town self."

For me, it's his degree of certainty.  Most of the RT people are about as active as the FT line people were yesterday, with the exception of Glooble who is ALL IN on team Joth. I think it reads much like more like he has a result than he is a partner.  Which maybe is a reason to move my vote, but I wish that Joth was making arguments with the same vigor of Glooble.

I like Ash's idea of a Western-style shoot out in terms of its metaphor, but I don't see that it makes him or Joth necessarily scum. If I am going to switch my vote today...I am willing to vote for Galz, since we wouldn't be losing much if he's he's town and there is at least some chance he is scum.

This might just be a twin thing? I'm going to feel very dumb if joth flips scum, but I don't have a "joth is town" result. It's just a really strong gut feeling about a player I know pretty well. It could absolutely be wrong.

I mean uuuuuh ash does this "never assume literally anything whatsoever at all ever" position every game.

Also note that assuming 4 non-town was correct. It's almost like things have to be balanced if they're good.

I get that.

If we are looking at ash actions from that game though, let's also remember how sold he was on his plan to exile himself and how pr town that would be, only to later find out a) it would not really have been, b) he thought he was recruitable scum.

However, if you want to draw the conclusion that follows from your (MiX and scola) observations, one would guess that Joth is also town. So who would you think scum would be in that case?

Phone posting late at night.

I think joth’s reaction to my pressure was inconsistent with what I expect from town!joth.  I do disagree with his argument, I do think he’s backtracked on that stance after pressure was brought to bear, and I think that movement is more likely from someone who started arguing an “opinion” that may have in fact been based on knowledge he could only have as non-town.  Maybe it is 2 per timeline and he knows that.  Maybe it isn’t but he really wants us to think that.

So, it is a read.  More than I have on anyone else.

I think Glooble is more likely to be wrong than a partner at this point.  Unless it’s a 2-person team, with a weird wincon or something.  Or a partner who went in to defend early not thinking it’s take so much to succeed and then worried that bailing would look worse.

Post by: Dylan32 on May 18, 2021, 02:29:53 pm
Like others have already mentioned, Joth hanging out at E-1 for so long could suggest he's scum. It could also suggest that at least part of the scum team has been extremely inactive and not pushing on an easy misexile. I think there are more informative exile options than Galz, but I wouldn't hate that exile if that's what we do. The problem is that based on this, Galz would have an above average chance of being scum from town!Joth's perspective (I think), but Galz is also one of the easiest alt wagons for scum!Joth to push out of self-preservation right now.

Joth, if not Ash or Galz, who would you want to see exiled instead?

I'll be back a couple times before the deadline, and I'm willing to move to a couple different people to get an exile through.

Ash isn't going to be around, Galz is probably not going to be around.  Scola, Dylan....are either of you willing to vote for Joth? EFHW, are you willing to vote for me?

If we can't get an exile off, that seems to be the least helpful option. 

Am I reading as scummier than Joth? I am not sure that we should have any more claiming since scum benefits way more from that than we do, but I can tell you all that it is better for town if I am not exiled.

Earlier I was reading scola as town for reasons. Later I was less sure for other reasons. Part of my vote for Joth is because that flip will inform whether which set of reasons were more well grounded.


I townread Dylan.

Moments left so let me make a case on Didds.

She’s been pretty quiet, has basically tried to stay out of the spotlight while doing her nice-to-everyone thing (which is NAI). But something about how she jumped on my wagon feels scummy— like she was trying to keep her options open as long as possible and then jumped on when it seemed like it really needed a push.

So joth was scum. And godfather no less, might mean we should use math's info now.

Of people in this timeline, I can't help but notice how uncle was treating joth. It felt kinda partner-y. But I can't say I was paying close attention to the game, for D1 and D2 I was playing a practice game for champs, and that took most of my mafia time.

We can do this first:

Vote: Uncle

Vote: Galz
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Night 2
Post by: Glooble on May 21, 2021, 06:23:35 am
Well this is a bit awkward.

So there’s me, Awaclus, MiX, and cube to me wagon and alive and Eddie and pps off-wagon and alive.

If we could assume one on/ one off, it would make the most sense to exile pps or Eddie for a 50/50 shot at scum. But scum!Joth was pushing so hard for that assumption that makes me think it’s likely not true. But if not that, then what?

I’m going to make a chart to summarize my feelings

No. Of scum in timeline

0- no. I refuse to believe a non-bastard game would be designed like that
1- probably on wagon, so Me, Awaclus, MiX, or cube are the best votes
2- would have to be either 1 on 1 off of both off, so definitely exile pps or Eddie today
3- from my perspective, knowing I’m town, this would mean either the entire rest of the wagon is scum or pps and Eddie are both scum (plus one more.) voting pps or Eddie still makes the most sense. This applies to any town on-wagon.
4- we’ve already lost

So it seems to me very logical to vote off-wagon today. Also, though, if one townie votes for another townie, scum can quick misexile if they want to, so it seems like a day not to vote until you’re pretty sure you’re right.

PPE: MiX

Chairs and gkrieg night kills. Both people people who haven’t been playing a lot recently but did quite frequently before. PPS would know their play style better than Eddie. I’d vote there, if I got to vote.

On wagon, Awaclus is my bet. But the off wagon percentage is just better.

Strange NK for sure - both in terms of killing someone who was off-wagon D1 and who was fake-voting for ash and not joth yesterday. It sure seems like there's a high chance at least one of Eddie and PPS is scum. I definitely prefer vote: Eddie out of those options.

It's unfortunate that mathdude did the kamikaze thing for a couple of reasons. The first is that the only substantial interaction analysis I can find is around the number guessing and in general I felt like mathdude himself was the most off the reservation. I am going to reread to see if there was any subtle manipulation I missed or any flip flopping that might be scumtelling. The other unfortunate circumstance is that it leaves us with primarily wagon analysis to try to work out an exile over and wagon analysis is fairly poor with the information we have today and ripe for scum to manipulate around.

Post by: pingpongsam on May 21, 2021, 09:55:32 am
I think the whole nature of the mathdude kamikaze circumstance makes the wagon analysis a complete shot in the dark. What about anyone's position on or off the wagon tells us their potential alignment? It was a town gambit that required town participation to happen. I find it ironic that his name is mathdude and as a very non mathdude myself I still see his number guess as the poorest utility in the event of being wrong. I personally and quite averse to gambling and while I'm probably poor at risk assessment I like to think I can solve basic odds analysis. Of the options 0,1,2 I feel he picked the worst one and that is self evident today. High risk high reward or abysmal payoff.

I guess all that is to say I am already suspicious of wagon analysis and this particular wagon is even more suspect for analysis and anyone trying to leverage it seems suspect to me.

The math info: you are the two outside the math wagon that are alive.

PPE: yeah that


So, it's just a simple commitment to the assumption that 2 scum would not have been on the math wagon?

apologies not used to this forum in a long while and btw, it kinda sucks.

Right, okay, it's coming together for me now. We know it's not 2 in Mix, Cube, Gloobie, Awac. Chances of 3 seem vanishingly small to me too. Chances of 1 not so much but 2 seems like a  reasonable assumption.

Knowing my alignment I now see the POE to Eddie. I'm still stumped as to why scum would pop chairs, though, knowing it forces a 1v1. That would require some pretty adept commitment to the next day's strategy, I think.

It's an interesting thought. It's definitely hard to make sense of the decision to kill chairs - the gkreig kill does point towards them wanting to kill unexpected targets, which could just be fear of town role powers. The case where it seems to makes sense to kill off-wagon are if there's one scum who was on-wagon, so that should be considered, but at the same time there's WIFOM.

I strongly agree with those saying we should exile either Eddie or PPS today. I've scumread each of them at different points, but they've both been relatively active, so I'd suggest we all re-read them when we have time.

It would take a lot for me to vote on-wagon today. Not saying I won't, but it would take a really good case or someone acting really scummy.

Post by: pingpongsam on May 21, 2021, 12:00:51 pm
I've been mulling over how it could resolve if all of either alignment were eliminated from a timeline. I think such a gamestate might result in a timeline convergence. In the case of town elimination scum likely have the game in the bag anyhow but if not yet then assuming the timelines publicly converge the remaining scum from that timeline are effectively known. In the case of scum elimination it seems possible for timelines to converge there as well. I suppose town could get a huge boost to no exile every day and focusing PRs on the other timeline during their night but it seems like a boring way to play out the game for those stuck in a timeline with no adversary.

At any rate, such an idea lends some credence to asymmetrical scum loading. If my theory is at all worthwhile, with 1 scum gone from the forward timeline and no public convergence we could assume multiple scum on forward timeline but not necessarily assume multiple scum on the reverse timeline. This is about the only way I can perceive ignoring the must lynch off wagon campaign for today.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 1!
Post by: Glooble on May 21, 2021, 12:06:03 pm
Ok, so faust/Eddie. The first notable thing is faust's "no real votes" plan and his desire to keep timelines secret for day one.

One clear downside of timeline claiming is that it allows scum to target the PRs that can be active that Night with roleblocking, killing etc.

So here is my plan: noone votes. Instead, we use italics to Vote: xy. I agree to do vote count for italic votes. If a majority of living players agrees on an exile, then the people in the active timeline try to exile them. Otherwise, there will be no exile.

Was this plan scummy? Was it towny but just ill-advised? Was it a brilliant plan that we should have followed? Who knows. Reading back at the discussion around it, it's easy to see it as a scum play for town points. Especially with snap-backs like this one:

Maybe it wasn't best to mention this, so I'll rephrase to say: No, I do not expect that.

Okay then your plan is anti-town.
At least I have a plan and am not just blurting out random bits of information to the enemy.

I think the italics plan by faust is a good one. Obviously overtly helpful faust is scum faust, so vote: faust.

I also don't know if not timeline claiming is a good thing. Not just for the targeting reasons that have been mentioned, but because we will have at least partially timeline claimed by the end of the day when the people from the current timeline vote for the person who has been hammered by italics votes. Not sure if it is good to let some people be unclaimed from a timeline while others get to not be timeline claimed.

gkrieg, who was town, found the plan, or at least faust's presentation of it scummy, or at least that's how I interpret this statement- that gkrieg thought the plan was a ploy for townpoints. Unless he was being tongue-in-cheek here, I honestly can't tell.

mathdude strongly opposes faust's plan and in fact acitvely undermines it with a bold vote on faust. So far 2/2 dead townies agree- faust is scummy.

faust responds:

I am extremely frustrated and annoyed at mathdude's play.

Which is pretty much in character regardless of alignment.

Confirmed scum joth supports faust's plan. Make of that what you will - could be buddying from joth to get town!faust to like him, could be the plan had some hidden benefit to scum that made it worth two scum players tying themselves together.

We're all so stuck on whether this plan is good or not, we're actually not getting anywhere useful. Good job faust. Your plan is working.

We could just move on quickly if everyone claims Timeline, votes for themselves (or if Reverse, you can vote me or faust), then let's get on with the actual game.

I think faust is scummy. And I know he can be voted for today.  Anyone else have scum reads?

mathdude raises the possibility that faust's plan was mostly to distract town from actually scumhunting which, honestly, is seeming like a not-terribly unlikely scenario to me right now.

Almost-certainly confirmed town Ashersky agrees with mathdude's assessment of faust and the motivation behind the plan as well.

Now this interaction:

It would be easier because this is an RMM with supercharged investigative PRs.

Also re. faust - what is this? Either it's creating WIFOM for no obvious reason or it's rolefishing bait. Feels scummy to me in any case.
Every investigative role has a QT, i.e. they can share their results without having to claim.

Except they have no idea if their QT-mate is town, so they may not want to reveal to that person that they have an investigative role.

Exactly this. But I can see why faust wants investigative roles to share with their partners... or helps out him and his team if one of them can get info from town.

mathdude here basically accusing faust of trying to get townies with investigative roles to out themselves to their QT partners- that seems a little bit unsubtle for faust, but I can certainly see mathdude's point.

I was apparently townreading faust at this point, but as we all know from how day 2 panned out, my reads are shit. He certainly seems less-than-towny to me on this reread.

Vote: faust

Timeline hiding is worthless.

And chairs weighs in! 3 out of 3 dead townies agree- faust is scum!

And now we reach the point where faust subbed out for Eddie, so I'm going to take a break and pick this up later. So far, and Eddie Exile is looking pretty decent to me though.

PPE: 3

I think it's true, and I think it's you. But I'm not convinced it has to be true. We know there's at least 2 scum in forward timeline since chairs died (unless someone wants to claim they killed him?), so it's not impossible for there to only be 1 scum in reverse.

Me pointing this out makes this more WIFOM than it should be, but whatever.

That's a really good point I hadn't considered. If it is 3-1, then the 3 pretty much has to be forward and the 1 reverse. Which would make mathdude's info extra super-duper useless.

There seems to be immense pressure to 1v1 today. A lot of the arguments for it are sound but founded on premises that cannot be 100% known. If they are, in fact false, we're setting ourselves up to potentially 1v1 two back to back town in this timeline which is going to be catastrophic. It feels like there's a certainty developing that if one of the off wagon flip town the other must be the scum and the next day's fix is in.

I am by no means a setup genius and I've already proposed a mechanism by which we could be wrong which suggests to me there could be others. Both Eddie and I are looking outside the 1v1 box which is certainly making me want to town read him. I understand his resignation as I am equally tempted as well but it feels more and more like a potentially doomed scenario that we may have been falsely led into. I would greatly prefer more weigh in from not only all players but especially Awaclus as he is in this timeline before calling it a day by casting a vote out of self preservation and blithe belief in the setup conditions.

I think the assumption is that scum can only act on their timeline night. This is another one of those assumptions that I find risky to attach such certainty to. If true, with 1 scum dead there'd need to be another scum to make the kill.

I wouldn't put it that far, I can see the NK transcend time and space.

Putting my thoughts down as mentioned, even though it may not be too relevant to today's discussions.  I guess Glooble is active, so there's that.

On Glooble:

--he and PPS have already discussed this, but Glooble's actions wrt joth are hard to ignore.  He was by far joth's biggest defender, even making the twin argument at one point.  I'd be interested in reading a study of twin play over time (Robz/Mcmc, glooble/joth, etc. in all games), actually.  Someone should do that.
--So, as Glooble says, was he just super way wrong town?  Or as PPS says, the boldest of bold mafia plays?  I see a few possibilities, in no particular order.

1. Planned, bold mafia play.  Decided early on that, for some reason (2-person team maybe?), there would be no bussing and they would be all in to defend each other at every turn.
2. Unplanned, bold mafia play.  Started off defending joth assuming since it was an ashersky situation, it wouldn't take much to change the subject, but then it kept going and going, and backing off would have looked even worse after a flip (true) so he just went all in.
3. Wrong town read.  Really just thought joth was town, was fooled, basically.
4. Unconscious bias against ashersky from previous interactions.  This could be a thing...Glooble and I have argued in the past, so it's hard to trust the next time.  Hopefully I've earned back some cred here.

I'm with PPS here in that Glooble's play is not necessarily bad or dumb mafia play.  There's plenty of upside if he's on joth's team.


Now, scola.

I actually think scola looks much, much worse.  He kept defending joth with a lot of "but what about me?  I did the same stuff" kind of arguments.  Their defense of joth was never about joth.  It wasn't like "joth did x" or even "joth seems towny to me" but was instead only focused on "if ash says joth is mafia for X, why am I not mafia too since I also did X?" 

Scola tried to discredit by case to relieve pressure on joth without actually defending joth himself, which means he can argue that he never really thought he was towny, etc. so that he doesn't look so bad when we know he's confirmed mafia.  That's textbook partner defense.

I don't see any other explanation for scola's actions.

MiX, are we killing PPS/Me today, or are you interested in others? And why am I the better kill?

PPS, who are you settling on for this kill?

Hypercube, who are your scum partners?

Awaclus... Um... Hi. How have you been? You been doing well? I feel like we never talk anymore and I’ve missed you.

We need to do some stuff today, and I would rather we pretend deadline is tomorrow than wait till deadline actually is tomorrow to do stuff.

MiX may or may not be freaking out that I made this post. I did it to mess with him.

Hey,  people, what’s the plan?

PPS, who are you settling on for this kill?

I am waiting on an Awaclus weigh in as promised.

I am actually shocked there's no night action results being shared. I will share that the person I targeted should know that they were targeted and my role claim, if forced, is verifiable.

I was sorely disappointed in the ashersky weigh-in. I really thought I was going to see some real critique or additional angles to the timeline convergence and potential scum distribution concepts I laid out. I feel like he would play different if it were his active timeline though and I see that as kind of hamstringing everything in that getting overall reads is important but we don't tend to see full engagement from people in the outside timelines.

I would urge everyone to be equally invested in each timeline as much as possible if for no other reason than to give everyone else sufficient read information for their following days.

Anyhow, I don't see anyone thinking very far outside the 1v1 so my obvious pick is Eddie. While I definitely can pick up what Eddie is putting down about hyper I also agree with hyper's counter that it appears to be scum reaching for anything outside the 1v1 because POE nails him according to the prevailing scum loading theory. That said, he doesn't seem to be enagaging my pontifications about alternate scum loading which I think he would latch onto if the hyper counter is factual. So, after typing that thought train into something cohesive I may see a little more merit to a hyper case.

Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Awaclus on May 22, 2021, 08:03:05 pm
Cool.

Anyway, we purposefully exiled a townie just to have access to a 1-shot ability, and spent the ability under the assumption that 2 returning NO would be the same as "scum confirmed off-wagon". That was a ridiculously strong commitment to this assumption. The only ways it's a good idea to start reconsidering the assumption are:


Since we evidently did guess 2, it looks like back when we only had the information that we had at the time, guessing 2 seemed like a good idea. And while the info we've learned from joth's flip + other things is certainly valuable, I don't think it's quite valuable enough to add up to purposefully wasting an exile to kill a townie.

So I'm going to stick with the assumption.

Vote: Eddie

It's specifically not the sunk cost fallacy. In a sunk cost fallacy, you keep spending more resources on a thing because you have spent resources on it.

In this case, we're going to keep spending more resources on a thing because the thing (the info) is still around and it's still worth something. I'm just using the fact that we were willing to spend an exile killing a townie to estimate how much it's worth.

And yes, the value of that information has dropped somewhat since we did the thing, in the light of information that we have learned later. But in order to drop the value of something worth more than an exile and a townie so low that we'd almost completely discard it, the information needs to have almost as much of an impact as an exile and a townie.

I agree with statement 1. My issue is it feels like your counter isn’t scum reading Awa, or actually doing anything to Awa, it’s just noting that his reasoning is bad. I don’t know why you care. It’s weird. It felt like that post accomplished very little.

So...

The poison as mafia's (only) NK argument only works if mafia was allowed to poison someone on N0.  If mafia has players in both timelines but they share a QT, easy enough to make that work.

Except...

We didn't have a timeline announced on N0, right?  So how was that resolved?  Was it just a free-for-all?

So one thing would be, if anyone could take an action on N0, please claim that specific tidbit.  Just one is enough, but it would help immensely.  Maybe you were 1-shot and used it; that's even better.  Just don't tell us that part.

Basically, I think a normal game where mafia can only poison has zero kills on N1.  In a normal game where there are multiple mafias and one is poisoner and the other isn't, you'd have one kill on N1 and then two each night unless blocking/doctoring.

Killing in the alternate timeline N1 makes perfect sense to me because it is essentially a N0 kill for that timeline. There is no POE to be gained from it for those in that timeline.

The shot at chairs is the real mystery. It's effectively the only reason I am not immediately voting Eddie. Why would scum force a 1v1 on themselves when it is completely avoidable unless that 1v1 doesn't really exist and they want it to appear as such?

One possibility I thought of is redirection. I think redirection is typically anti town but it seems somewhat thematic for this game, maybe? At any rate, maybe scum did not mean to kill chairs but rather someone else? If town did redirect last night then I think they should claim even if outside their timeline. Whoever they targeted is scum and so is Eddie. If true, redirection here would be supremely pro town.

I have not played with poison in maybe ever? How does it typically work? Does a poisoned player know they are poisoned? Obviously it's a delayed kill.

Maybe I missed the thrust of the poison claim. Eddie, are you suggesting chairs died of poisoning and there wasn't a NK?
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Uncleeurope on May 23, 2021, 09:26:12 am
My role gives me no information other than implications that poison exists and that it works as a delayed kill.

So I am unfortunately lost when it comes to the intricacies of how it functions on this game (how many poisons are expected, etc.)

I fully expected two people to die last night, and when that didn’t happen (and I was being pushed) decided to throw that out there.

All other thoughts about N0 choosing (I didn’t know there wasn’t a timeline for N0, I wasn’t in the game yet) and other theaters are just speculation.

Poison seems ill fitting thematically? I'm asking because I recall no such mechanic in the movie. Eddie, are you willing to claim your character name?
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Uncleeurope on May 23, 2021, 09:52:54 am
My ability is very thematic. I assure you.

I watched the film and when my character was explained, I was very pleased. Swowl did good.

There is an odd thematic break in it, but such sacrifices are worth it.

I would want to reveal my whole role if I gave the name, not just the poison part, but still.

Post by: hypercube on May 23, 2021, 10:55:56 am
I think the rules are pretty clear that no-one would be able to take an action N0, so any poison kills would be extra kills. If there is a poisoner in this game, either they're in this timeline and the kill got blocked N1 or they're in the other timeline and we wouldn't see the extra kill until tomorrow. That would be kind of a cute interaction with the timeline mechanic, the poisoner gets to act N2 and Eddie gets a chance to block the poison N3.

So, Eddie suggesting that all the NKs are poison kills could be a townslip, although I'd also sort of expect him to have thought through this if that's his actual role. It's enough to get me to reconsider my read on him at least. I'm hoping my head will be less foggy tomorrow and I'll do a reread.

PPS's other points in that post are good points that I had been thinking about too, but I do worry that him being the one to make them means it's scum trying to nudge us away from the 1v1.

I could imagine a passive redirector maybe? i.e. if you target one member of that TL QT, it redirects to the other (if still living). So maybe the actual target was chair's Timeline QT partner?

I thought through what ramifications would come about by me claiming that, and deemed it worth claiming.

As scum, I probably wouldn’t have just blurted out “poison” without it being something that either exists (because I would be a poisoner or something) or I knew what exactly I was claiming.

Basically: it’s a dumb thing for me to fake and get wrong as scum.

I also wasn’t in this game from the start, so I have no idea how night 0 was handled. I don’t even know what Faust did N0 (nothing, he did nothing).

The more I look at this post the more confused I get.

This seems like an attempt to call me a liar, but the only time that’s relavent is if I’m dead, which will confirm that I am town and telling the truth, or that I was lying, which would be clear regardless of the word “poison” appearing in my ability name. Because my name would be red.

This feels like it could be from a scum unable to look at outcomes right, or a scum trying to pivot to scumreading me.

You are claiming something exists that should scare town into keeping you alive that cannot be verified in any way whatsoever. You suggest that flipping you would give a black and white resolution to that existence but it hinges upon you having claimed it to begin with. The point of my clarification is that were you to be NK'd with no chance to claim town would still be unaware of a poison element. This seems unlikely to me unless another town can come forward to confirm additional knowledge of poisoning.

Your suggestion about how I must be scum for seeing through this fallacy is the real scumread pivot. You've gone from reluctantly voting me out of self preservation to seeking veiled substantiation to convince others into it as well.

Of course, if you flipped town we'd be forced to believe the poison element whether we could otherwise see it or not. Acting as if I can't grok that and that makes me scum is blatantly disingenuous and an obvious scum ploy.

Post by: Glooble on May 24, 2021, 07:48:17 am
Ok, so I just spent a solid half an hour going over the rest of Eddie's day 1 posts and then accidentally deleted the whole thing. I don't have the energy to do it again plus my roomates are now downstairs and being loud so I'm just going to summarize my thoughts as best I can.

Basically, I came out of it feeling a lot better about voting for Eddie. His statement about looking at QT partners comes off really scummy with the knowledge that his partner is scum. It really seems like a setup to defend himself in the event of a joth flip. This quote really seals that impression for me:

Eddie or Glooble, whichever of you are scum...
Does scum have day-chat this game? Are you QT buddies with a scum-mate? Will you be coordinating your votes with them?

(I'd ask scola too, but he's not Active timeline... guess you can still answer the first two questions).

I’m pretty suspicious I have daychat with scum, yes.

I want to look more at his interactions with joth on day 2 with that in mind.

The other thing about the end of day 1 is mathdude's strong scumreading of Eddie's opinions on how to use the vengeful cop power, which I think I more or less agree with.

The poison doctor claim reeks of desperation to me.

What E are we at?

Post by: Glooble on May 24, 2021, 09:19:24 am
Yeah, 2 was a bit... Optimistic.

I think the goal was that now we "know" (by attempting to Meta a set-up, which is terrifying) that PPS/Me/Chairs has a bad guy in it.

Which is great for me.

Not so much for anyone else.

Does scum!Eddie state this assumption before anyone else? This is a legit question, I can see both angles.


I can’t read ash.

It is annoying me.

Joth has definitely been raising my eyebrows all game. No idea what to make of him.

Now that they are opposed makes me even more annoyed.

Trying to distance himself from joth or expression a legit scum read? Reads more like distancing to me but I worry about confirmation bias.

You guys can imagine me voting for Joth right now, if it helps.

See above. Bussing seems very safe when you are a tree stump, but what more could he do if he were town?

I feel like I need to step on in here a bit, (this being from someone with little trust for Joth, and a lack of understanding of who the heck ashersky is as a player)

If it ain’t Joth/Ash in this timeline, who is it?

That is a question we should at least spend a day on, right?

But now he wants to back away from the one on one. Which scum would definitely prefer to 50/50 chance of a scum exile.
I will say that Joth has been acting slightly more townie in private than he has in the main thread.

Not much, but enough that I found it worth mentioning.

The main issue I am having is that both versions of a Joth would be frustrated at Ash right now.

I guess I feel pretty confident that Ash and Joth ain’t scum buddies, but that’s it.

Now that a joth exile is looking more and more likely, he's trying to sow doubt.

How exactly has joth been acting more townie in the QT? He doesn't say. And today, when I asked him what had happened in his QT with joth, this is what he said:

How active was your QT with joth?

Did he say anything there that might be useful?

I asked for a recap of what he said with Faust, he said they claimed timelines and nothing else.

I then went silent.

When I said I scumread my QT partner he asked why while saying he town read me, then there was a long pause. He asked if We could come up with something to do in the QT so as not to waste it, I recommended chess, he said he wasn’t experienced enough with chess to do that, (long pause) then he ranted about how anyone could see Ash as townier than him, and then I asked if I could put that we were partners. (He said yes.)

Where exactly is the part where joth is acting townier? (serious question for Eddie.)

Everyone else, please weigh in on the chairs breadcumb question above.

I have to get back to my job now.

Can you say more about how joth is being towny?

Eh, his interactions with me have been minimal, but his frustration seems genuine.

But it’s hard to say.

He seems bewildered as to how I (or anyone) could possibly see Ash as Townier than him.

It’s hard to say, I haven’t had the best track record at reading Joth.

He also did claim to be a scummy role to me few days ago, so his fakeclaim was either figured out days ago, or it isn’t fake.

I honestly can’t make heads or tails of him.

I scum leaned him day 1, but his posts to me directly have left me closer to null.

Make of that what you will.

I find value in at least setting up some cases for others today.

Okay, I stopped my ISO too soon.

Emphasis mine. Really interesting that Eddie didn't mention the claim in his recap of the QT to me today. This is a scum slip. Sorry, it just is. You don't mention playing chess in the QT and forget about a claim. This is a thing you do when you are making up a fake QT because the real one is your scum QT.

I (and you) have no reason to assume that another town knows about poison.

Wasn’t trying to scare town, I honestly have no intention of using the protective aspect of my role. The other half is more fun.

Me flipping will give Town this info:

Green: My role has the word “poison” in it.

Red: My role may or may not have he word “poison” in it.

Why did you ask me whether my flip would confirm poison? If green, it doesn’t matter, and if Red it doesn’t matter. My answer it irrelevant always.

Bolded portion is my answer already. I have played with arsonists and bombers and in most cases it's ideal for the defusers to claim only when pressed so they aren't removed leaving the attackers unchecked. The huge upside being that if they flip without a chance to claim the presence of a delayed threat is still telegraphed. It's bad design to try to make the claim/no claim pressure cut both ways.

Post by: hypercube on May 24, 2021, 10:14:33 am
Glooble's case against Eddie is pretty strong IMO. I wanted to reread faust so here are some thoughts on him:

One clear downside of timeline claiming is that it allows scum to target the PRs that can be active that Night with roleblocking, killing etc.

So here is my plan: noone votes. Instead, we use italics to Vote: xy. I agree to do vote count for italic votes. If a majority of living players agrees on an exile, then the people in the active timeline try to exile them. Otherwise, there will be no exile.

Note that scum has been killing exclusively in the inactive timeline. I think the timeline-obscuring plan was always kind of a dead end, it's not even possible to keep a majority of people's timelines secret while exiling. Also as mathdude pointed out later knowing timelines helps town PRs too.

And faust was clearly thinking about town PRs:

Your plan throws away 2 days of voting if we decide on the second day that we want to exile someone of the non-active timeline (and 1 day regardless). By that time, why would it be easier to kill scum? We would just be thinning our numbers.
It would be easier because this is an RMM with supercharged investigative PRs.

The statement about supercharged investigative PRs seemed kind of scummy and so I asked faust about it:

It would be easier because this is an RMM with supercharged investigative PRs.

Also re. faust - what is this? Either it's creating WIFOM for no obvious reason or it's rolefishing bait. Feels scummy to me in any case.
Every investigative role has a QT, i.e. they can share their results without having to claim.

I didn't realize this at the time but this is kind of a contradiction, investigative roles having QTs makes them stronger but not so much in a way that helps exiling scum D2. Anyways, given that the NKs do seem to be trying hard to avoid town PRs (which could easily have been planned out N0, especially if faust is on the team), I think faust's play seems scummy in retrospect.

PPE a bunch

My title is “Insulin Doctor” don’t know what to tell you man, I didn’t design this game.

Eh, I’ll give it all, I don’t mind, it’s cool to talk about anyway. I’m actually quite poised here, because I can kill and scum will want to keep me alive.

Sammy here:
I am a 2-shot Poison doctor that will kill any player I use both shots (heh) on.

That’s it, full stop.

Wanted to wait to use my power until I knew who to kill. (So I haven’t used it yet)

So your flavour name is Sammy and your role is Insulin Doctor? That seems to contradict this:

Green: My role has the word “poison” in it.

Cube does this every game I’ve been with him as scum.

Theorize about weird scenarios and loosely throw guilt at people and try to catch people in lies that they would never mess up if hey were actually scum.

He wants to scum read people for lying, not being suspicious.

Don’t don’t usually scum!slip though.

Also, I didn’t address the “clever distancing” that I did with Joth yesterday.

I don’t do that as scum, it’s not my meta.

It’s actually a weakness of mine.

I’m a busser or a truster.

I’ve seen too many partners get caught from distancing, So ages ago I lost my ability to do that well.

I have been reading it - your position doesn't make sense to me. The title is the part of a role that's revealed when there's a flip, e.g. we know chairs is a Modified Motion Detector but not what that means.

Theorize about weird scenarios and loosely throw guilt at people and try to catch people in lies that they would never mess up if hey were actually scum.

What weird scenario am I theorizing about?

Scum don’t usually scumslip though*

We have one dead joth here which indicates otherwise. (Actually that's an important point, joth flipping scum is strong evidence for 2 scum in this timeline)

My ability won’t be revealed, my name and title will be.

My ability uses the word poison (something confirmed when I flip green because I didn’t lie)

My title won’t use the word poison (something confirmed with eyes)

This is not an argument. There is nothing here indicative of anything.

You are theorizing that I scum slipped based on nothing, (reaching for scumminess) and when I jumped down your throat the other day it was for the same thing. I can’t remember the post.

You did something similar when I was the Fool in Stormlight. You said I was cult leader. I can only assume it’s a scum tell to mention (and vote using) extremely odd theories that are “catching” someone in something they said. You thought I had claimed CL, which a CL wouldn’t ever do. You thought I (as scum) forgot what my lie was, (heh) instead of it being semantics.



Was Joth putted for a scum slip or a scum tell? My understanding was it was for a tell. His reaction to pressure was bad.

I forgot.

Something town does far more often than scum by the way...

But, yeah. That whole recap post was done from memory. Hard to navigate QTs and stuff at the same time (did I mention I have been phone posting?)

But like I said, Scum me doesn’t get caught in lies like that. Ask MIX, whenever I have a fake conversation with a partner in these games I plan everything out.

So in the end, because I know this, I probably would have recounted my fake conversation from memory as well, so this whole thing is NAI.

Were you expecting another answer besides “I forgot” ?

OK, so you meant "Me flipping will give Town this info: Green: My role has the word “poison” in it." as "Me flipping green will make you believe me." That's why I wanted you to clarify - I did not, as you are saying, jump down your throat and insist you'd scumslipped.

You did something similar when I was the Fool in Stormlight. You said I was cult leader. I can only assume it’s a scum tell to mention (and vote using) extremely odd theories that are “catching” someone in something they said. You thought I had claimed CL, which a CL wouldn’t ever do. You thought I (as scum) forgot what my lie was, (heh) instead of it being semantics.

The cult leader thing is a great example of an off-the-wall theory, I don't think "Eddie is scum" is a weird theory here.

Was Joth putted for a scum slip or a scum tell? My understanding was it was for a tell. His reaction to pressure was bad.

ash pointed out something that could be a scumslip and then joth folded under the pressure. The first part was important for getting to the second part.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Glooble on May 24, 2021, 11:30:45 am
I don't buy it.

I think you forgot that you had told us that joth claimed to you in the QT.

On another note, chairs was a modified motion detector. So if he was trying to breadcrumb a result on Eddie, what kind of incriminating result might he have gotten? A normal motion detector can only tell if an action was performed by or on a player. But modified probably means chairs was able to get a little more info (just because I can't imagine a role that gives less info, motion detector is pretty much the bare minimum.)

Eddie claims to have taken no actions, right? If he has two shots, and he preferred to use the vig ability which expends both of them? So if chairs saw anything and Eddie is telling the truth, that means someone targeted Eddie. Anyone want to own up to that?

I really think chairs was breadcrumbing, by the way. I just don't see any other reason he says that. Given how generally inactive he was, given the total lack of context for that statement, it just seems like a very clear case of "if I'm not around to claim this result later, kill Eddie."
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Uncleeurope on May 24, 2021, 11:40:38 am
I didn’t take an action, and I also saw that he was motion detector.

Claiming that is daring, wouldn’t you say? [Insert Pubby Glasses here]

And I’m not even going to bother with your claim about me messing up my fake claim.

Other than “The moment I claimed that Joth claimed a scummy role to me I woulda written it down and the act of writing it down would have made sure I never forgot.

Probably.

Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 2
Post by: hypercube on May 24, 2021, 11:54:07 am
Things from rereading PPS:

I didn't get much from his D1, lots of setup talk.

D2 he does go after joth a lot, however he says lateish in the day that he was doing that because he assumed ash had a result on joth. In light of that, I don't think he really deserves credit for wanting to exile joth, given that scum!PPS would probably see a good opportunity to bus if joth was actually incriminated.

Solid argument, can't disagree there. Wish someone had brought that up earlier, haha. I was literally assuming Joth to be scum because ash made a statement suggesting he had results. My brain didn't fill in that blank, though. Was the rest of my analysis deeply colored by that assumption? Yes. Is it thus wrong? Not necessarily.

D3 there's this business of forgetting how mathdude's result worked. What's kind of interesting is that this:

So, it's just a simple commitment to the assumption that 2 scum would not have been on the math wagon?

is only an hour away from this:

I think the whole nature of the mathdude kamikaze circumstance makes the wagon analysis a complete shot in the dark. What about anyone's position on or off the wagon tells us their potential alignment? It was a town gambit that required town participation to happen. I find it ironic that his name is mathdude and as a very non mathdude myself I still see his number guess as the poorest utility in the event of being wrong. I personally and quite averse to gambling and while I'm probably poor at risk assessment I like to think I can solve basic odds analysis. Of the options 0,1,2 I feel he picked the worst one and that is self evident today. High risk high reward or abysmal payoff.

so I guess PPS forgot that we had mod confirmation that there weren't 2 scum on wagon very quickly. I'm not really sure if that's alignment indicative although it seemed worth pointing out.

After that PPS starts going after Eddie which I think there are good reasons to do whether PPS is town or scum.

So I'm left with a pretty null read on PPS. There wasn't anything really scummy in there, but my townread on them was mostly based on their going after joth and now I'm disinclined to give townpoints for that.

Ayyyy, good for you.

I may be an idiot for town reading you. Maybe EFHW/Ash are right and you are scum.

If I flip (probs should wait for MiX/Awaclus to weigh in more, but there ya go.) I would throw Cube/PPS/EFHW/Pasta under the bus in roughly that order. Probs wrong about some of that. And a lot of it is hazy.

I had no actual read on uncle before.  I now have a straight mafia read on him, based solely on his posts since whenever I last posted.

Everything is OMGUS, self-referential meta explanations, and doubling-down the claim.  Pretty straightforward "mafia who lost a partner" play, really.

Glooble's case seemed okay, helpful to see the posts together.  Forgetting the claim in the QT is pretty bad.  Lukewarm defense of joth resembles Scola, so that could be the three-person team if that's what we are looking for.

Am I to understand the uncle vs. PPS thing is solely based on the still ridiculous belief that we somehow know exactly how many non-town we have in this timeline based on that Mathdude guess?  Because that's a terrible reason to limit discussion to two players.  (The irony, of course, being that I used an argument against that belief as a reason to limit discussion to two players.  But that's okay, because I was right.)

Also, PPS is worth keeping around.  His running commentary on my play makes for a more fun game.  If he's mafia, he'll slip before the end of the game.

I voted and scumread all parties before they pointed at me. So that’s a load of garbage.

Town forgets things too (and even more than scum)

My meta is to self-referential meta explain. Read any town game where I get pushed.

I did lose a partner, but only from my QT.

Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: ashersky on May 24, 2021, 10:34:46 pm
What I meant was that you have basically repeated your claim multiple times, tying it to you being town.  That action in and of itself isn't alignment-indicative, but I think that it is more often repeated when the claim is fake.

To me, the first claim was fine.  When it has been discussed by you in subsequent posts, though, it reads as though you are just repeating the same language.  There are aspects that seem like you are being careful not to mess up the claim.  And no "new" information came with any subsequent posts.

Like, a quick example below.  Imagine each new line is a new post, with the game going on between.

"I'm a cop."
"No, I don't want to share results."
"I think it's better if I don't."
"Fine, I got innocent on X."
"Yes, I know they already flipped, so it's convenient."
"I targeted Y on N2 but got no result."

That's sort of a normal chain of a cop claim.  It's definitely fake-able, but makes sense.  Here's how your thread reads to me:

"I know there's poison in the game but I'm no poisoner, so you should definitely assume I'm a poison doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Okay, yeah, you got my super subtle hint there.  I'm a poison doctor."
"Yeah, I'm a poison doctor."
"The word poison might show up in a flip because I'm a poison doctor."
"Poison doctor poison doctor.  Two words are important.  Poison doctor."
"Poison.  Doctor."
"If I flip town, you'll know I'm poison doctor without the word poison.  Poison Doctor.  If I flip red, I'm lying.  Poison Doctor."
"P-p-p-poisoooooooooon Doctor!"

You "full claimed" after a long run of that and no one really liking it.  That is what I mean about your double-down.

I am absolutely bewildered as to why people would assume my behavior this game would come from a scum player who was actually trying to win the game.

Well, this day stalled out.

I tried to reread PPS but it honestly came out extremely null. Lots of setup talk in the early day 1, more or less agreed with me on mathdude's plan usage, and then came down pretty hard anti-joth day 2 but then of course revealed that he thought ash was soft-claiming cop. It's all very NAI and I'm finding it hard to care when I have a scumread on Uncle that's so much stronger.

Also, the wagon is stalled at E-1, I seem to recall folks yesterday saying that was a pretty good indicator that the wagon might be on scum.

Cube, MiX - care to put us out of our collective misery and end the day already? We have the ash stamp of approval.

Day 3 ends Friday, May 28th at 1:05am Forum Time.

Today the active timeline is the REVERSE TIMELINE. We will remain in the REVERSE TIMELINE until the start of Day 2.
Only players from the currently active timeline may vote, or be voted for.

*I am just back from a long weekend. I will issue prods requested and look over activity in a few hours when I have a break at work.

Or, hmm, chairs was poisoned.

Because of the “Sorry for the delay” bit? That’s a bit weak considering Swowl was late to deadline there.

What? No. If there's only 1 scum in forward timeline, chairs' death would have been due to poisoning.

Am I to understand the uncle vs. PPS thing is solely based on the still ridiculous belief that we somehow know exactly how many non-town we have in this timeline based on that Mathdude guess?  Because that's a terrible reason to limit discussion to two players.  (The irony, of course, being that I used an argument against that belief as a reason to limit discussion to two players.  But that's okay, because I was right.)

Do you think joth was lying when he implied there were two scum per timeline?

I think having one timeline start at a 3 v 5 is insane.

I think it’s max 2 baddies per timeline.

The question is mpreso: are there 3 or 4 baddies.

Wait wait wait.

If there's 3 scum in reverse, we can't kill scum today.

So that shouldn't even be considered, regardless of truth.

Then I’m a fantastic kill.

(Seriously, though, what’s the issue with killing a scum in a 3-1 scenario? Are you thinking the scum are on opposite teams? Why are you thinking that? Because they are killing accrross timelines?

The issue is that if there are 3 scum in reverse, there are also only 3 town. It takes 4 to exile.

Also, as pointed out, there's really no other option today anyway.

Also also, it's Day 3, which means two nights have passed, so where's his nk?  That's suspect to me, as with such a lengthy process to get your power to work, he should have been doing his best.  At least claimed you primed someone who was then exiled or something.

Also, killing powers that require priming are basically always non-town.  Poison Doctor-Vigilante definitely sounds like a wacky fakeclaim to cover up very normal mafia powers.

That’s because Cube was badgering me about nonsense.

But whatever.

Not much more I can do there.

Other than wait for MiX to either defend or condemn me.

Or Cube could just hammer me.

I am absolutely bewildered as to why people would assume my behavior this game would come from a scum player who was actually trying to win the game.

Oh wait, no. My behavior is a “scum player who lost a partner” and apparently I couldn’t care less about my other partners?

It's not that town players can't make assumptions about the number of non-town in the game.  It's the way he responded specifically to my point and assumed I was assuming joth was his only partner.

Also, almost every single post has been flippant and dismissive, and not in a faust way.  There are usually two reasons for that type of play: pressure or character.

I don't know uncle, although we've played before.  I do know the community, and we have all sometimes lost our way, but we generally find a way back, usually through reflection, a time away, or meaningful apologies and conversation.  So I'm ruling out character here.

That leaves pressure.  Players respond in different ways to pressure when non-town.  That's one of the big ways we try to catch them.  That's how I zeroed in on joth.  Uncle using insults and sarcasm really reads as a player who is deflecting his own feelings of nervousness and fear to others.

Have you ever had that friend or acquaintance that, when they say something incorrect and it is pointed out to them, they just get mean and nasty instead of thankful or humble?  It's like that, only it's caught mafia instead of a wrong answer to a random trivia question or something.

To bring back my example I used with joth:

Uncle:  Hey, did you know that McDonald's was founded in 1954?
Me: Actually, I think it was 1955, but yeah, that's so cool that it's been around so long.
Uncle:  No dude, it was 1954.  I know what I'm talking about.  Who would have thought fast food would make such an impact on society over so many years?
Me: Hmmm...[googles]...yeah, looks like 1955.  April 15 to be exact.  Close though.  Definitely, at the time, I'm sure fast food meant...
Uncle:  Screw you man.  What kind of friend are you?  I can't believe I'm even talking to you.  Even your hair looks stupid.  F this.  I'm out.

Well, you make assumptions in a way different to most players.  It brings a diverse and useful point of view to the game, actually.  You don't always present in the best way, though.  (As you know, as has been pointed out many times, if you would present your thoughts as ideas and possibilities instead of facts and certainties, you'd get way more traction.)

I think people make assumptions in game based on their knowledge gleaned from their role in the game.  So a mafia player ends up reacting to every other post in the game with that angle, whether they want to or not.  If uncle is a member of a 3-person mafia team, that's something he cannot unlearn.  He can definitely work to hide it.

When I wrote a sentence that could be taken to mean I think he is a member of a 2-person mafia team, he couldn't help but correct me.  That's the slip.

By the way: I am having fun, and am in no way upset. Confused and amused? Yes, but not upset.

Please take my whining to be what I mean it to be: a juvenile temper tantrum for my own amusement.

That being said, let’s do a more realistic example:

Ash: Your middle name is Greg
Uncle: Nah, it’s not.
Ash: I’m pretty sure it is.
Uncle: The PM I got from Swowl says that my middle name is Green.
Ash: Well, let’s kill you.
Uncle: I am thoroughly confused as to how that could be the next logical step at this moment.
Ash: Nah, you accidentally said that your middle name started with a G. I know it’s Greg.
Uncle: Okay, but you are wrong, and I will likely laugh at your foolishness. And probably mock you.
Ash: But laughing is rude?

You could present an alternative.

I think defending yourself only works if there is something specific that is refutable.  Like, my read is just a read, you can't refute it because it's my opinion.  Either I convince people that my opinion is correct, like it was with joth, or you convince people that something else is correct.  I think convincing people I'm wrong is futile and even if you succeed, you leave yourself as the only doable exile as time runs out.

Smattering of cases:

PPS is null to everyone - Usually means scum

Cube has a scumtell (I think) that he seems to be falling into this game. It’s at least something I have on file for the guy, I could easily be wrong, but he did the tell, so...

Glooble I trust more... but is definitely more likely to be scum than I am.

Awaclus...

MiX is posting not at all, which is a MiX-has-been-body-swapped-tell. He could be scum based on that alone. It’s weirdong me out and I can’t shake it. That being said, I have no real reason to distrust him.

I’m looking at Glooble differently than you, I don’t think he would be this emphatic about a wrong opinion two days in a row as scum.

That’s why I town read him.

Once I flip town, would you change your mind about Glooble?

Because that’s the perspective I see him in.

Ugh.

My motivation to play here has been very lacking recently. That’s on nobody but me. Truth is this whole setup had me not in a good place. I struggle mightily D1 in general - so do a lot of people, do not really using it as an excuse, just saying... Additionally, being “disabled” D1 just made it that much worse for me. D2, when I was on the active Timeline I was legitimately swamped with work. And now... we’re back to me being disabled.

I’m not blaming the setup - I actually think it’s really cool. It has just not worked for me here.

Alright - I’m going to spend tomorrow morning and afternoon doing my best to get caught up and involved. If I’m unable to do so I will ask to sub out.

So at this point, I am kind of scumready Eddie and Glooble for different reasons, but I'm not sure if they would be scum together.

Post #941 is interesting, and I kind of think scummy from Glooble because he was all in on Joth's 2-2 assumption was reasonable and Joth was town, but here he seems completely ready to accept a different possibility. It seems to me like scum!Joth got caught in part because he felt particularly comfortable with the 2-2 assumption, which with his flip is fairly likely to suggest it really is 2-2 since Joth was just saying things he knew to be true a little bit more confidently than town that was guessing would. Of course maybe that was a lie and Joth was just unlucky enough to get caught even though the initial reasons for it were just completely wrong, ultimately it doesn't matter.

But now for Glooble to bail on that assumption this easily feels more like scum A) distancing from a flipped partner's stated opinions B) distancing from the stance they had taken earlier that got a partner exiled or C) scum now trying to steer town away from the true information that was accidentally strongly confirmed by a partner's statements and flip.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 3!
Post by: Dylan32 on May 26, 2021, 04:51:01 am
Honestly, I agree with a lot of what Ash said about Eddie's tone and defense of himself. Maybe it is what he normally does, but I don't remember any of our previous games and constantly saying "I'm so towny and have only done towny things, I'm super cereal you guys! Listen to me so we can stop Manbearpig mafia, guys!"

I also don't like that Ash reasonably told Eddie that the way to avoid being the exile was to layout a case on someone else and convince town they are better (I agree and have been waiting for Eddie to try to do that for a while), but Eddie's response isn't to build a case on someone he thinks is scummier, it's a pure self-pres wagon that he thought would be easy to get through that he had a townread on... That just seems more scum than town.

If I were active timeline, I'd vote Eddie and move on to tomorrow, but would rather see Glooble flip than anyone else in lieu of that.

Post by: Glooble on May 26, 2021, 05:48:14 am
When scum emphatically wants town to believe something, it seems worthwhile to reconsider that assumption. Your read of joth in lieu of his flip was that 2 per timeline was more likely. My view was that it was now less likely, because one of its main proponents turned out to be scum - I.e. a person with a vested interest in killing us.

It’s like if I believed, based on independent research, that alligators wouldn’t eat people and there was someone I trusted who strongly agreed with that assumption, then I found out that person was actually an alligator who ate people. It might cause me to re-examine.

Does scum have day-chat this game? Are you QT buddies with a scum-mate? Will you be coordinating your votes with them?

They aren’t lies. They are odd little wigglinga in language.

At that point, I had seen Joth post a handful of times, I’m an inactive timeline, and yes, I did scumread him, but I wasn’t going to shoot him in the head for that. I figured letting him vote around world would be a good thing to see.

And I honestly feel very rewarded for waiting. I would have wasted the shot.

I’m going to reiterate something:

Scum are very good at sticking to a narrative, town is not.

You have “caught” me, like 12 times “failing” to maintain a narrative. Scum me would have no problem having a clear “I scumread Joth” narrative, (and any of the thee bits to my scum story/narrative) and would have had no problem mentioning that.

These “lies” are me being Town. Those “towny things” people want from me, I’m doing them all the time.

I think it’s clearly Cube with a possibility of PPS.

If anyone wants to vote for either of those 2 I will.

This is giving me pause too - although joth also sat at X-1 for a while.

Unless Eddie's the only scum in this timeline, if he's scum someone is bussing. I don't think it makes that much sense for Glooble or Awaclus to be bussing; MiX I guess is possible but I think he'd find someone else to push. That leaves PPS, which does make some sense. The chairs kill makes a lot more sense if they're both scum than if only one of them is - they can use it to push for an exile in the on-wagon group, and if town decides they want a 1v1 there it could be OK for the survivor.

Please enlighten me about this. Yesterday, when joth stalled at E-1, pingpongsam was like "wagon is stalled, he must be scum" and WCD agreed with him. Now Eddie's wagon is stalled at E-1 and WCD is like "wagon is stalled, he must be town". What is different between the two scenarios that would make you draw the opposite conclusion from the same data?

Post by: Dylan32 on May 26, 2021, 11:30:14 am
When scum emphatically wants town to believe something, it seems worthwhile to reconsider that assumption. Your read of joth in lieu of his flip was that 2 per timeline was more likely. My view was that it was now less likely, because one of its main proponents turned out to be scum - I.e. a person with a vested interest in killing us.

It’s like if I believed, based on independent research, that alligators wouldn’t eat people and there was someone I trusted who strongly agreed with that assumption, then I found out that person was actually an alligator who ate people. It might cause me to re-examine.

Depending on the thing and the context, yeah, you're right. But on occassion, scum says something that they could only know because of info they have that town doesn't. In this case, part of the initial push on Joth was that he sounded a little bit too confident that it was 2-2, to the point that only someone on the scum team would know it with that level of certainty. So in this particular context, my confidence that it is 2-2 actually went up as a result of the flip.

Why do I think that is the case rather than what you said? Because of the way Joth defended himself. Most people who assumed 2-2 and/or sided with Joth were focused on "I/we didn't say it absolutely was 2-2" kind of arguments. To them, the issue was that they felt Ash was misrepresenting their statements.  Joth agreed with that, but pushed back more on the point that assuming 2-2 was a reasonable and pro-town thing to do more than others. The focus their suggests that Joth knew he had used info that he had and town didn't and was getting pressure on it, and so in order to diffuse the point he needed to make people believe it was a towny thing for him to have done in the first place.  Now I could be wrong about this, but would have to go back and read the whole day again to double check my memory, which I'm not going to do in twilight.

ash keeps using these terms "truth and lie" and it's really manipulative. Show me where I claimed to have any knowledge, ash. All I did was agree with, and offer some support for, a reasonable default hypothesis that many others have put forward. I've taken an incredibly innocuous and non-controversial position and I've taken it in a fairly level-headed, open-minded way.

You, on the other hand, have gone to the mattresses to defend a fairly unlikely assertion, calling anything else "insulting" and "absurd". And now you're trying to make this into something that it isn't to get me exiled.

And no, town absolutely won't actually exile you after I flip. If I thought they would, I might consider embracing your 1v1. But you know you have an entire timeline cycle for people to forget about this and that you'll easily be able to weasel out.

These 1v1s are basically always bad for town. I choose not to take your bait. Though I'm also not moving my vote.

Hyper hammering me was the towniest thing he has done all game, genuinely shook me.

Isn’t gut is rarely wrong, though, so there you go.

Your lack of activity today was hugely scummy in my eyes, but I have decided I’m not allowed to use that read, so there ya go.

I trust Awa, even if I have no right to. (Mainly because Hyper is so evil in my eyes and it can’t be two of them)

I find it likely PPS is scum by mandatory rule.

I genuinely TR Glooble, but (and I cant stress this enough) I have been wrong about him before.

I think PPS/Cube has a clean look to it.

Even looking at cubes random PPS thing with me and early today when PPS “saw what I was laying down about Cube”

Both very partners things to say/do.

Eh...

A lot less confident than I was about EFHW that one all those times, but enough that ima just write that on the stone and move on.

If WCD isn’t town now, then I need to throw in the towel and retire on ever being able to read her properly.

After all these games with her, I have exactly 1 town tell for her that hasn’t failed yet, and she did it this game.

I am willing to stake my reputation on that. (*winces*)

Okay I'm just going to assume you're town now. What are your scumreads, hyper and...?

Why assume he's actually town though? If there's potential for someone to act in twilight (presumably something like a governor type of role), why should we just make that assumption because he said "lol jk"? If you are just setting your own personal expectations regarding the impending(?) flip, then fine, but there was nothing in his post hammer comments that actually seems particularly townie to me. Like if you were hammered, said good luck to your scumbuddies, and then the thread realized there is at least a chance someone can do something in twilight (governor comes to mind), of course you're going to say yeah the townies are my partners.

To be clear, I still think Eddie is going to flip scum. One thing that was maybe kind of sort of mentioned by Ash once, but the poison doctor that can kill strikes me as a scummy claim, just like Joth claiming RB. Like, yeah there are town RBs, but they are much less common than scum RBs, so an RB is often a "safe" fake claim for scum. Either they can claim their real power or they can assume they probably aren't going to get counterclaimed (depending on the game/setup obviously). In a similar vein, a poison doctor claim has a lot of advantages for scum. The way Eddie described his role, he has cover for being caught killing someone later in the game once. He has cover if he is seen trying to kill someone but someone else protects them. If poison isn't even in the game, it adds confusion for parsing night actions. I mean, we haven't even seen more than one kill in a night yet. Simplest solution is just scum has one NK, or if multiball each faction can only shoot on alternating nights. Yeah, protection is totally possible, but to have happened two nights in a row in a game this big would be something else.

I don't know. If there's anyone out there that would have the choice to reverse the exile, this is NOT the time to do that imho...

My gut*

EFHW was a reeeence (that is my weirdest typo ever and I’m keeping it) to other games.

My current read on her is “can’t see through the timeline fog”

I can usually only read people that interact with me directly, hence me having stronger reads on WCD/Ash than anyone else in the other timelines. (I probably see Ash as towny but probably less towny than everyone else, still strong Town though,, to be clear)

I have musings about Dylan, but nothing I want to clutter the thread with.

In a similar vein, a poison doctor claim has a lot of advantages for scum. The way Eddie described his role, he has cover for being caught killing someone later in the game once. He has cover if he is seen trying to kill someone but someone else protects them. If poison isn't even in the game, it adds confusion for parsing night actions. I mean, we haven't even seen more than one kill in a night yet. Simplest solution is just scum has one NK, or if multiball each faction can only shoot on alternating nights. Yeah, protection is totally possible, but to have happened two nights in a row in a game this big would be something else.

I don't know. If there's anyone out there that would have the choice to reverse the exile, this is NOT the time to do that imho...

ppe 3

Right, a reverse is only useful when alignment is known. I thought that was the case with a governor, though.

I had no reason to think there would be a timeline-limited governor (still don’t think that’s what’s happening) because abilities are allowed to go across timelines, and it would be weird if Governor was an exception (But maybe Day abilities are twice as limited as night abilities?)

I figured I may as well have a little fun.

There is nothing in Uncle's actions post hammer/pre twilight that makes me think in any way that he would have flipped green.  There are a range of emotions that go through an exiled towny -- spite is very rarely one that we should let take the lead.

I think he would have said as much as possible about his power, his QT, his reads, whatever, to make sure we had all the information possible.

Claiming mafia on hammer to spite the rest of town?  That's only funny rarely, and usually is immediately followed up with a "just kidding!" and then we get a flip.

Hyper hammering me was the towniest thing he has done all game, genuinely shook me.

Isn’t gut is rarely wrong, though, so there you go.

Your lack of activity today was hugely scummy in my eyes, but I have decided I’m not allowed to use that read, so there ya go.

I trust Awa, even if I have no right to. (Mainly because Hyper is so evil in my eyes and it can’t be two of them)

I find it likely PPS is scum by mandatory rule.

I genuinely TR Glooble, but (and I cant stress this enough) I have been wrong about him before.

I think PPS/Cube has a clean look to it.

Even looking at cubes random PPS thing with me and early today when PPS “saw what I was laying down about Cube”

Both very partners things to say/do.

Eh...

A lot less confident than I was about EFHW that one all those times, but enough that ima just write that on the stone and move on.

If WCD isn’t town now, then I need to throw in the towel and retire on ever being able to read her properly.

Also, you not posting today was scummy.

This is a non-town scrambling to try to make some sort of towny-looking post to backtrack.  But this post is not towny or towny-looking.  It is a bunch of nothing words with no value to remaining town members.

The ONLY useful line here is calling out MiX.

Where is the fuller explanation of your role?  Where is the fuller explanation of anything in your QT?  (That second thing you should have been doing from the start if you were actually town.). Where are your final thoughts that we must have from a player we're about to trust forever? 

Instead we get "my gut is rarely wrong, joke read on Awa, joke read on PPS, hedging on Glooble, hedging on EFHW, joke on WCD."

MiX not posting much is bad.  Your mentioning it actually makes him seem like your partner.  That's my takeaway.  If he is, you were better off not posting at all.

I don't feel like waiting 24 hours :(. Or admitting that ashersky's scumslip argument was correct, though I think it was, and did before the hammer, too. ash - what percentage of the time do you think your scumslips arguments turn out to be correct?

I think they are 100% always correct in my mind.  I think the better question is what percentage of the time do I think non-town actually commit the slips.  And that is a high number, because I believe it is much harder than we profess to maintain a lie for so long, even when it's just typing on a forum.  So if we pay close enough attention (and most important, have the information we need to recognize the slip), we would probably find them in almost all games, save those rare perfect games by non-town players.

When I make the arguments themselves, I probably believe my own cases around half the time?  Sometimes it is to pressure a player, sometimes it is to see others' reactions.

Wouldn’t change how I played, that though.

This is the immediate reaction to being hammered.

I don't think this reads like a joke, nor did anyone else at the time.  I think looking at who was willing to support the joke theory with little argument is worthwhile for partner hunting -- even if Uncle didn't immediately realize that twilight might mean something, a partner could have .

This sounds more to me like a "yeah, you got me, but I'm still the better player and I'm still right, you just got lucky" kind of spite.

Also the 2 shot poison doctor in a game with alternating timelines also doesn't seem very practical. assuming I understand it correctly: N1 target player X, they are saved; N2 target Player Y, they are saved; N3 target Player X (or Y), they die.

(and again, it'd really be N1,N3,N5, etc).

Also if that's true, why not target someone N1 to save them? if they're town great! If later you think they're scum, you've already primed them.

Also, there is some chance I guess Eddie is town. No way enough to reverse the exile, if there is a governor. (I also suspect that maybe the twilight power might be something different than governor? I haven't played enough to know what other twilight powers exist)

If I use both shots on someone, they die.

I can never target 3 people with my ability, I am confused as to why you are confused.

Like this:

It’s N1 - I target Cube (one of the two shots is spent)
N2 - I wait
N3 I target cube, they die (second of two shots is spent I now have no ability)

That’s how that works.


So here's the basic gist of the claim right?  Breaking it down into separate parts:

2-Shot / Poison Doctor / Vigilante

He has two shots of a power.  Let's give this a name: Inject.  The details of this specific part:
--He can "inject" one target at night.
--He can do this two times during the course of the game.
--He can only do this once per night.

Okay.  Now, what are the effects of the "inject" power?
--If, on the night a player is injected, they would have been poisoned OR would have died from poison, they will be saved.
--If, on the night a player is injected, they have previously been injected, they will die.

Those are the only two possible outcomes with actual results, right?

So, design-wise, we can thinking of it differently.  An Injector is a doctor with four modifications:
--Can only protect against certain types of kills (poison)
--Can protect on both the night of poisoning and the night of death
--Can only target a specific player once
--Can only be used twice during the game

So, it's a severely underpowered doctor.  On the flipside, it is also a type of vigilante.  An Injector is a vigilante with two modifications:
--Must successfully target the same player twice.
--Can only be used once during the game.

So, it's a blend of a 2-Shot Doctor and 1-Shot Vigilante, both of which are modified to be weakened, so much so that a normal 2-Shot Doc or 1-Shot Vig would be preferred as a choice JOAT-style.

In a normal style game, this design might make sense.  If the timelines division is applied, however, we find that the role is severely weakened.  I think so much so that it appears like a partial role, or a factional role (or roles), or a made-up role.  I prefer not to assume bad design.  In fact, this claim sounds like a mash up of JOAT powers offered either to a player or a faction.  So mafia.

What evidence would you like? I feel like I’ve offered quite a lot.

Scum players don’t do anything that I did today.

Not that I have seen.

I know I wouldn’t do what I did today as scum. As scum I don’t like to be killed, to a paranoid frenzy. Very methodical and careful (ehh, I try to be) As Town, I have confidence that my actions need not be explained, because I am a town player trying to win. That should be enough.

Maybe I play this game wrong, but I see it as my job as Town to catch scum. “Acting towny” is what scum does, I see no interest in trying to walk those footsteps.

Am I an idiot? Maybe. But I enjoy my style of play, and am often able to find the scum that I look for.

I apologize if my actions are seen as “anti-town” or whatever, but I assure you I am always trying to win, and can only work with the information available to me.

I am also sorry if I am seen as spiteful, that is not my intent in the least. I’m not upset at anyone, and never intended on appearing as such.

Post by: Dylan32 on May 27, 2021, 02:19:38 am
You're really walking kind of the same road with the same tone that MiX has since joining us. I generally agree your job as town is to find scum, but really, your only objective is to win the game, full stop.  If your play gets you exiled instead of scum, you have made it harder for town to win and thus played suboptimally towards your wincon even if you were perfectly right with every read unless you manage to convince town to totally believe you from the grave.

So if you are town and everything you have said is sincere, feel free to play the game how you want as long as you are playing to try to win, but also don't be surprised if you don't get the results you want because of it. There were a couple games where there was an unfortunately not super uncommon attitude that a town!MiX was a bigger asset to scum than to town because of a few aspects of his play style that were consistently seen as at best hurtful for town and at worst straight up scummy.

Two things have happened I think to change that, and both were equally important. 1) the more he played, the more we understand his meta. He didn't have to just say "i do this when I'm town" every other post, and even when he did we didn't listen. We just had to see it several times to draw our own conclusions. 2) Eventually, MiX listened to some of the critiques he was getting about why town thought his play was either scummy or so bad that exiling him instead of scum was better for the game as a whole, and he worked to moderate some of those tendencies a bit in such a way that he was still himself, but a version of himself that people actually enjoyed having in the games and (imho) has been turning into a lot stronger town player lately than he probably was early on.

So be you, and have fun, but also don't be shocked if playing exactly like this as town gets you exiled again in another game. For what it's worth after all that, even if you're scum, I did genuinely enjoy having you in the game; I just think you're scum haha.

It's not up to a person to change their meta to have people townread them, it's up to others to distinguish a person's town and scum meta. That person just needs to do the same: distinguish other people's town and scum meta. If everyone stops blaming town for getting scumread, we would all improve as a community and we would kill scum.

Dylan, this is a good observation. Eddie and MiX are 100% cut from the same cloth. They play very similarly, and have many of the same ways of approaching people and situations. Eddie isn't quite as abrasive, but also isn't quite as declarative. I find them both enigmatic, but they are consistent in the way they are. Look at how active he has been today...totally MiXian.  What is strange is that MiX wasn't as active, but that is a different question.

Eddie funning with us on the "good luck to my partners" post was exactly the kind of thing MiX would do. I know it wasn't spiteful, but they are probably the only ones who actually found it funny outside of the scum team.  But most of us are un-funny most of the time, so eh...what can you do?

“I know I am town, everyone else should just know no matter what I do” is not an acceptable way to play this game, in my opinion.  If that were the case, I could claim mafia, vote only to exile ICs, etc. and not be held accountable.

Hold yourself accountable.  This is a team game, even when you don’t know your teammates.  (Single player factions notwithstanding)  Everyone should play in a way to not hurt your teammates’ chances of winning.  Don’t blame your teammates for your play when it is bad.  I speak from experience.

Eddie funning with us on the "good luck to my partners" post was exactly the kind of thing MiX would do. I know it wasn't spiteful, but they are probably the only ones who actually found it funny outside of the scum team.  But most of us are un-funny most of the time, so eh...what can you do?

This sounds like you think Eddie is town. Why do you think that?

Like there's a chance, sure, but everything he's done today post twilight also makes sense from a scum who wasn't expecting twilight. So why fall on the side of "he's funning with us?"

He's funning with us regardless of alignment. Anyone could tell he was trying to do the ol "my partners are town" trick. Well not everyone would think it's what he's doing, but it wasn't exactly obscure either.

Please enlighten me about this. Yesterday, when joth stalled at E-1, pingpongsam was like "wagon is stalled, he must be scum" and WCD agreed with him. Now Eddie's wagon is stalled at E-1 and WCD is like "wagon is stalled, he must be town". What is different between the two scenarios that would make you draw the opposite conclusion from the same data?

Dunno, really. Maybe that I am watching instead of playing. When I was playing (FT), I knew I was town.

Literally everyone on both sides of reactions missed my point that BOTH town learning a person's meta AND the person learning to play in a way that works with town instead of hurting town are important. But if you are town, town has learned your meta and knows that you are town, but they still think it's a pro-town play to get rid of you instead of looking for scum because you are actively getting in town's way, that's on you! That's the point MiX was at a while ago; I remember a couple games where people straight up saying "I don't care if MiX is town, he is the best exile because he's hurting our chances of winning."

Don't manipulate your meta to try to fit a specific mold! Be yourself! But also recognize that if there are specific things you are doing that actually hurt town's chances of winning, it's on you to stop doing that, because if you don't you can expect town to see you as a threat or harm to keep around and exile you.

Now I don't know that you did anything like that this game, I started to make this point just as a response to the "I'm going to be me no matter what you think" attitude. Yeah, be yourself, but if it hurts town, expect to be exiled anyway.

They were wrong. The mere fact that they say that is what makes killing me resemble something that is pro-town. That's on them. The moment you stop policy exiling is the moment town can start winning.

They might have been wrong from a technical win probability perspective because it probably undervalued how bad a single misexile is for town, but if you are so antagonizing to town that they would rather you be out of the game regardless of alignment, take a look in the mirror. Like someone else said, this is a group game. You can't win on your own (as town in most situations), so if you are alienating town by your play (even then they read you as town), then you aren't doing everything you can to win.

And, I just want to be completely clear, this is all pure theory at this point, because no one did that this game. I actually enjoyed Eddie being in the game, I just also happen to think he is the most likely person on the timeline to flip scum lol. If I'm wrong, it gets logged as a data point towards learning your meta.

Still mad that we haven’t forgotten that you were defending your buddy Joth?

I knew that when Joth was still alive at x-1 that I was town. So I knew that there were town (me) not yet voting for him, and that made him scummy. With Eddie, I don’t know anyone’s alignment, so there is more guessing. I’m not terribly invested because I can’t vote anyway. If scum we’re already voting for him, then they couldn’t hammer. They had to entice town to do it.

This is obviously Eddie funning with us to me. When I first read it I was sad because I thought he was saying he was scum, which was his whole point. So, he got me with a prank that I should expect from the Uncle of all of Europe. And that’s funny, and he deserves the satisfaction of knowing he got me with the prank and that I see it’s good natured.

I do think he’s town, but that is completely irrelevant to the pranking/funning and completely irrelevant to the game since he’s not in my timeline and I have no RT twilight power.

Nah, it wouldn't be thinking less of you, just that you played in a way that is more often representative of a general scum and so without a history to draw from it was reasonable to exile you, even if the calculus will have to change regarding you in the future.

But back replying more to MiX:
There's a difference between scummy behavior, a subjective description of an action or behavior that depends on your perception, and pro-scum behavior, which is ideally an objective claim that the action or behavior helps scum. "You defended yourself in a way that scum does" is subject and falls in the scummy bucket. "You picked a fight that dominated all conversation for the day and kept us from considering anything else and allowed scum to skate by the day" is to some extent more object and would be the pro-scum bucket.

Scummy behavior is what town should adjust their read to over time based on your play. Pro-scum behavior is what you can control and have a responsibility to avoid. I don't think you should change your play to fit what town thinks is subjectively "towny" unless you just want to. I do think you should avoid doing things that are actively pro-scum, and if that's something that you are getting called on and exiled for, then it's on you. Town can be wrong in their assessment of how much the thing actually helped scum, but there is a difference in the two categories and the accusations/arguments that result from them that shift where the primary responsibility lies for the misexile. Maybe a majority of town (or minority of town helped by scum) were actually wrong about something being pro-scum, it happens and often when it does it reflects scum playing well. However, if a town lobby nearly unaminously says "dude, you helped scum," then they are within their rights to exile you, and you probably shouldn't do that thing again in similar circumstances.

I actually have yet to answer ash's attack on me, figured better to save until tomorrow. But if you read me as "defending" joth, that feels like scum trying to misrepresent what I was doing.

The mason claim seems plausible to me - mostly because it seems super risky for scum to try right now and I was already townreading Glooble.

Glooble, can you tell us more about the mason claim? I don’t trust Scola at all right now, so I need more. Specifically, can he be fooling you?

Dylan and EFHW, along with Ash and I, exiled Joth. It would have been super easy for any of ten three of us to either not move votes that day and not exile Joth. If I hadn’t been completely convinced he was scum, I wouldn’t have hammered him and it would have been a no exile. Scola was voting for me (and not around)  Galz was MIA, there was literally no pressure to get an exile done. So, I’m having a hard time seeing either Dylan or EFHW as scummy.

So that leaves Galz and Scola.

The fact that Ash had his sights on Scola so vehemently makes him an odd kill for scum Scola, but Ash is also persuasive so maybe that was his only hope?

I’m surprised that scum Galz wasn’t more active, but not so surprised that I won’t vote for him. I don’t trust Scola, but I do trust Gloobs.

So, voting for Galz, I guess. Or once EFHW and Dylan show up anyway.

Ok, sorry, but my two biggest scumreads just claimed masons together. On the bright side, now if one of you flips, the other is either IC or lock!scum, so I don't have to worry about the 1 scum in 2 possibility.

Surprised scum struck ash. He was sure to aid them against Glooble. Seriously considering a 3 scum loaded forward timeline at this point. Very much in VLA, though, lots of yard work yesterday and today.

- snip -

The fact that Ash had his sights on Scola so vehemently makes him an odd kill for scum Scola, but Ash is also persuasive so maybe that was his only hope?

So the NK victim just happened to be set that both of the people who would claim masons the next day were scum?

Scenario 1: Ash, who was somehow exactly right on Joth d2, was also exactly wrong and picked both masons as his next two scumreads and was killed despite the fact he would have had a decent amount of leverage to help push for a misexile today.

Scenario 2: Ash's reads were on point this game, got scum exiled his first day able to vote, His other reads we're accurate, so scum killed him and decided to pull the mason gambit.

One of these seems much more likely than the other.

Also, the "Ok, I guess we're claiming" post sounds much more like a scum partner that had talked about maybe trying to claim masons and being surprised their partner did than a mason who is surprised their partner is claiming. Scola's initial claim was also scummy, because their wasn't really any pressure yet to claim today. The timing feels more like scum coming in with a plan and trying to get out in front of what they felt like was coming rather than town looking for scum and then reacting to pressure.

I'm not right now just to give people time to talk, but I'm probably going to put down a vote on Scola later. Galz is a decent exile just by being off wagon on Joth, but he's so inactive it would be the single least informative exile we could have.

Hi Jack! Thanks for joining!

I’ve been on a plane thinking about the mason claim. Scola knew he was going to be on the hot seat today. It a smart gambit especially if Glooble and Scola are the only scum (although I still like PPS for the fourth). Anyway, I’m less believing than I was before my flight took off after done mulling.

Oh hey Jack. I hope you'll be less lurky than in the previous game...

To catch you up to speed, in D1 we exiled mathdude, the vengeful cop, who told us there aren't exactly two non-town in {Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube}. In D2, we exiled joth, the godfather with a 1-shot strongman. In D3, we exiled Eddie (or uncle), the 2-shot kinda-like-a-poison-doctor. And in D4, Glooble and scola claimed masons.

Oh, and the forward/reverse timeline split is {EFHW, Didds, Jack, Dylan, scola} in forward and {Glooble, Awaclus, MiX, hypercube, pps} in reverse.

Of course we have daychat, our timeline QT is our Mason QT.

Ash agreed with me about Uncle by the way, so he wasn’t infallible. Also, part of my reason for pushing Uncle was “dead townies all scumread him” and we all saw how that turned out.

Okay. I’ll try. The first 15 posts in our QT are a discussion of the other half of our role, which I’m not going to claim yet, and how we should modify our playstyle to accommodate it. After that we talk about how neither of our flavor names are characters in the film Memento and that’s kinda weird. We decide we should bring that up in the thread early so people don’t use it as a reason to scumread us later (which we do.)

Then we talk about whether mathdude is acting too scummy to be scum (this is when mathdude was trying to get exiled. Then we spend some time debating different guesses for mathdude’s power, before settling on 0. That’s an entire page. During the night, we speculate about who scum is gonna kill. Possibilities are me, you, and Galz.

Then there’s a whole page of us agreeing that joth is probably town and ash is probably scum. At one point I say I think they are both town but then I go back to scumreading ash again. Scola laments taking a nap and not being there for the deadline.  We talk about how embarrassing joth’s flip was and if that means I’m getting exiled the next day. We discuss the circumstances under which we would want to claim each half of our role. I complain that Swowl is very late reopening the thread.

I express my overwhelming certainty that Eddie is scum. I express my shock that Eddie is town. I tell scola I think we should soft claim today. Scola says “oops I claimed”. I ask scola if we should claim the other half. Scola has not yet answered.

And that’s the best recap of the thread that I can give you.

Looks like it was towards the end of day 2, when scola was trying to decide who to vote for. I also expressed a scum read on you at the time, though that was based on my assumption that ash was scum and joth was town.

Normally, I'd probably agree that it's probably too risky, but the simple fact is that they were the two people that looked the worst in the entire lobby (imo) when you look at their reads (defending Joth against Ash) and being scumread by flipped town. This is exactly the game where you fake a mason claim to try to get both partners out of trouble.

Hi all, been away for the long weekend (our university gave us an extra day) but am working on my way back.

So yes, I probably jumped the gun on claiming for Gloobie, because I had little to no reception where I was and wasn't sure when I'd get back and didn't want it to get too far in the day.

I think gloobie misread some of our QT because I don't see where I ever said I thought joth was town; as I never had a read for him either way. My defense of him was NEVER about whether he was town or scum, only that he what he said was being grossly misrepresented by ash. Which I still maintain is true. (and so that lead me to vote ash for a while as it felt like the kind of distraction scum might do). Eventually, I decided that the push was so hard that maybe ash could be town, and I trusted by WCD read. (and still do)

If you look back at my earlier posts you'll see I generally tended to try and throw agreement to things gloobie was saying. This was an attempt to bread crumb our masonry early.

I still read WCD as scummy and I think the mason claim has really helped that. She has had to take a stance again me, but that hurt her attempt to town read gloobie. So now she's attempting to create doubt on both of us, more that accept our claim. With no real case against me, except OMGUS because I read her as scum.

Lastly, I don't think scum!Gloobie and scumapasta would actually so strongly defend joth against ash's misrepresentations. i.e. those are much more likely coming from mason us who don't know joth's actual faction.

Agree, but the Joth wagon and it actually getting the exile was by the skin of our teeth. Like it would have been super easy for Dylan or EFHW or I to just let it be a no exile. So easy, in fact, that it leads me to believe that we’re all town because literally each of us was pivotal. Scola defending Joth was super scummy, so if were to believe he was wrong, but not scummy, that leaves Galz. It is entirely POE, but it’s strong POE.

I can accept that you are in a WCD tunnel. It happens. But two things.... I’m not the one trying to create doubt about your claim. That’s Dylan. I’m not sure I buy it, but he’s the one laying out why it could be a gambit. Second, the Joth exile doesn’t happen without me. And there was zero pressure for me to have have hammered him. You weren’t going to change your mind about me, Galz wasn’t showing up. I could easily have voted for someone else and spared Joth. I played around with the idea of voting for you for just disappearing that afternoon. There was no reason for me to hammer if I was scum. Scum only hammer for credibility when the loss of the teammate is acceptable and inevitable (and even then, it’s not my way). This wasn’t even close to inevitable. YOU are the one who made it not-inevitable, in fact. So, you’re going to have to explain how that works, which would require breaking your tunnel vision for a moment, before I have confidence in you.

In saying my defending of joth was super scummy, you keep equating my defending his statements being misrepresented by ash (which they were) as my defending him from being exiled (which I did not). Of course, I also did not vote for him, but that's just because there was a better place for my vote. (a) trusting gloobie's read over my non read, and b) thinking you are on the scum team).

I have given a few examples of things you've done that I thought were scummy. (granted the scumslip may have just been me seeing something that wasn't there and confirmation bias). But can you give specific examples of what you find scummy that I did or said?

--he and PPS have already discussed this, but Glooble's actions wrt joth are hard to ignore.  He was by far joth's biggest defender, even making the twin argument at one point.  I'd be interested in reading a study of twin play over time (Robz/Mcmc, glooble/joth, etc. in all games), actually.  Someone should do that.
--So, as Glooble says, was he just super way wrong town?  Or as PPS says, the boldest of bold mafia plays?  I see a few possibilities, in no particular order.

1. Planned, bold mafia play.  Decided early on that, for some reason (2-person team maybe?), there would be no bussing and they would be all in to defend each other at every turn.
2. Unplanned, bold mafia play.  Started off defending joth assuming since it was an ashersky situation, it wouldn't take much to change the subject, but then it kept going and going, and backing off would have looked even worse after a flip (true) so he just went all in.
3. Wrong town read.  Really just thought joth was town, was fooled, basically.
4. Unconscious bias against ashersky from previous interactions.  This could be a thing...Glooble and I have argued in the past, so it's hard to trust the next time.  Hopefully I've earned back some cred here.

I'm with PPS here in that Glooble's play is not necessarily bad or dumb mafia play.  There's plenty of upside if he's on joth's team.


Now, scola.

I actually think scola looks much, much worse.  He kept defending joth with a lot of "but what about me?  I did the same stuff" kind of arguments.  Their defense of joth was never about joth.  It wasn't like "joth did x" or even "joth seems towny to me" but was instead only focused on "if ash says joth is mafia for X, why am I not mafia too since I also did X?" 

Scola tried to discredit by case to relieve pressure on joth without actually defending joth himself, which means he can argue that he never really thought he was towny, etc. so that he doesn't look so bad when we know he's confirmed mafia.  That's textbook partner defense.

I don't see any other explanation for scola's actions.

The thing I'm trying to figure out is eddie's twice (at least) read of WCD as town, as she is my top scum read for forwards. So is this a trying to try to create suspicion on town WCD? or WIFOM it should create suspicion so gives her some twon cred, when she's scum? I don't know.

Also, there is some chance I guess Eddie is town. No way enough to reverse the exile, if there is a governor. (I also suspect that maybe the twilight power might be something different than governor? I haven't played enough to know what other twilight powers exist)

Schola, I’m not trying to be antagonistic. I do think it’s really interesting, though, that you are coming at me guns blazing for an opinion of no consequence.

I feel like a very studious sieve. And I get you're not trying to be antagonistic. I'm not worried of ever taking anything personally in this game.

I just have a read of you as scum; and the way I read that post felt like a slip. ("I" instead of "he") I do see now how you may have actually meant I. I don't think that adjusts my read on you, though.

I actually have yet to answer ash's attack on me, figured better to save until tomorrow. But if you read me as "defending" joth, that feels like scum trying to misrepresent what I was doing.

Which is why I thing tomorrow we should vote either you or ash. For some reason, from ash it feels like incorrect town and from you as scum, but I could see it being the other way too.

Sorry for spamming the threads.  I wanted to have access to those posts when I am on my phone.


In saying my defending of joth was super scummy, you keep equating my defending his statements being misrepresented by ash (which they were) as my defending him from being exiled (which I did not). Of course, I also did not vote for him, but that's just because there was a better place for my vote. (a) trusting gloobie's read over my non read, and b) thinking you are on the scum team).

I have given a few examples of things you've done that I thought were scummy. (granted the scumslip may have just been me seeing something that wasn't there and confirmation bias). But can you give specific examples of what you find scummy that I did or said?

You're right (I needed to reread) that you were not defending Joth. I did misrepresent that opinion, and I apologize. Instead, you were just working against his exile. Ash explains it better than I do in that first post I reposted. But perhaps more importantly is what I said a few posts before that... we almost didn't get the Joth exile off.  In order for it to happen town really needed to fall in on the vote. To be absent in the time before the deadline and leaving you vote to do help us not at all (from my perspective) is scummy.  Galzack is scummy for this reason, too.  4 to exile out of what was effectively 6 people is rough, especially if we suppose there are two scum. 

So, its not so much that you are saying scummy stuff, its that I think that if there are 2 scum in our TL, it has to be you or Galzack. And you were trying harder to get us not to exile than anyone else other than Glooble.

You're ongoing suspicion of me is trickier. This is a game where some people have been tenacious in their wrongness, so you might just be following along. I correctly read Eddie, and he correctly read me.  I think I have played in every mafia game that he has played since we both came to f.ds except one, and that was the one my husband played in (we don't play well together). I think that we read each other pretty well.  Instead of taking his green flip and looking back and re-evaluating what he said now knowing with full certainty that he was town, you are plowing along in your anti-didds campaign based on, well, I am not sure what.

You have not responded to the PoE arguments, nor explained why I (or anyone) would ever, ever hammer my partner when he could have just stayed alive and then we could plabe the no-exile on Glaz. I wasn't under pressure AT ALL. I hammered him because he was scum and I am town.

Finally, there is the "scumslip" that you have accused me of. It wasn't a slip of any kind. MiX has expressed his opinion, and I continue to stand by what I said exactly the way that I said it. You have said that it could have been in your head. But still you are using that sense to inform your gameplay. Its like you keep getting information that you have been wrong or misled, but you aren't changing anything in light of that information...just digging in stubbornly.

You tell me what you have done that has helped town. Or why Glazack is better exile. Or anything really that can get the conversation moving forward.

I still read WCD as scummy and I think the mason claim has really helped that. She has had to take a stance again me, but that hurt her attempt to town read gloobie. So now she's attempting to create doubt on both of us, more that accept our claim. With no real case against me, except OMGUS because I read her as scum.

Lastly, I don't think scum!Gloobie and scumapasta would actually so strongly defend joth against ash's misrepresentations. i.e. those are much more likely coming from mason us who don't know joth's actual faction.

I can accept that you are in a WCD tunnel. It happens. But two things.... I’m not the one trying to create doubt about your claim. That’s Dylan. I’m not sure I buy it, but he’s the one laying out why it could be a gambit. Second, the Joth exile doesn’t happen without me. And there was zero pressure for me to have have hammered him. You weren’t going to change your mind about me, Galz wasn’t showing up. I could easily have voted for someone else and spared Joth. I played around with the idea of voting for you for just disappearing that afternoon. There was no reason for me to hammer if I was scum. Scum only hammer for credibility when the loss of the teammate is acceptable and inevitable (and even then, it’s not my way). This wasn’t even close to inevitable. YOU are the one who made it not-inevitable, in fact. So, you’re going to have to explain how that works, which would require breaking your tunnel vision for a moment, before I have confidence in you.

I love it when Didds stands up for herself!

I don't know why it took so long to remember this, and I don't know how many people have been partners with scumapasta before, but they were all about the plans and trying to figure out plays involving claims. Unfortunately, I can't really say more about what specifically they came up with in BSG season 1 because of not public info, but I firmly believe a mason fakeclaim is 100% something scola would be all for trying based on that. Now that Jack is in the game, he could probably 2nd what I'm saying, because he was our other partner and might remember (or I guess go back and verify) a time or two where I was trying to caution scola about the drawbacks and risks of the plan(s) they were coming up with.

Basically, what it comes down to, I just don't believe that claim. PoE from early days and reads of conf!towns point at them (such that NK's targeted to silence their opponents are quite possible), the timing of the claim was scummy, Glooble's reaction to scola claiming sounded (to my ears) more like scum than mason, and this is exactly the scenario that it makes the most sense for scum to try to pull the mason gambit if scolooble are in fact scum.

I mean generally, I would think this would mean that my claiming mason is NAI because I could do it as scum, as well as town. (i.e. you seem to be doing the same thing as I've been doing with WCD)

And you're forgetting that a) those plans were attempt to cover up something that needed covering up and b) for the most part they were to be used, as needed, reactively. They don't fit the pattern of claiming masons at the beginning of the day. (and also when most people were town reading gloobie, ie why endanger him if we were both scum).

I honestly don't know any more. My reads of how WCD posts are that they read scummy to me. BUT she makes a great point of hammering joth and I had not considered that (this being "active" every other day is annoying). So I went back, and she did indeed do that hammer, and at a time when she's right it wasn't needed. And I don't really see her doing that for twon cred; in particular with joth as godfather. So I think I have to trust that and ignore my reads. (it''s just annoying because I had similar reads in the dwarf mafia and ignored them)

I guess the question I have to ask myself is could there have been scum on the joth wagon? And if so, who? And if not, voting for galzack (which seems a horrible nickname) could be the way to go.

I actually just don't agree with either part of your summary of your plans from that game.

Can we go back, briefly, to the “pps claims he tried to do a night action on me that I should have seen but I didn’t see it” thing?

None of the flipped townies have redirector or roleblocker powers. It seems like a weird false claim for scum pps to make. If someone redirected or roleblocked pps, I think it would be good if that person claimed at least a little.

This will probably make more sense once we flip pps and see if he was slightly telling the truth or not. It's WIFOM that should probably be ignored for now.

Prod request: Galz

Alright, I'm going to try to get Vote: Galz going.

An interesting moment from D2; at this point Dyan and scola are voting for Didds. If joth and scola are partners I'd kind of expect joth to vote for Didds here - scola is already pretty committed to defending joth so it seems logical they'd want to try and push a counterwagon together.

Prodding Galz could be joth trying to get his partner in the game, voting for Galz is stranger if they're partners but joth seemed pretty defeated at that point and could just be playing the long game and trying to create distance between them.

Ok, so we haven't had a single night with double kills. That makes me think it's unlikely scum has both a normal kill and a poison kill, unless maybe the scum poisoner is one-shot, but then why would Eddie have had two doctor shots?

The poisoner could be an SK variant, but again, why haven't they killed?

We know from Eddie's flip that poison must exist. I think it's logical to assume scum can only poison. Which means their decision about who dies tonight is already made.

Does anyone disagree with this chain of reasoning?

I am Catherine Shelby, a Town 2-shot Motivator
I targeted Glooble both nights I could take action.

I see now that if I had targeted Eddie, for example, he could have been a single night vig. Obviously my power is designed to assist us past the on/off timeline hurdle. Also, since scum has a poisoner, and it looks like it might be Glooble, then my power also helps them kill in one night especially if we already took out the scum capable of making normal kills?

Um, you were reading me as scum before you even mentioned the BSG game. (You even said "why I haven't thought of this earlier"). Then you're using the BSG evidence letting the previous impression color your interpretation of the BSG game. Like I said, I'm not saying the mason claim is 100% proof of being town (i completely see the "scum ploy" read if it by other town). But you're ignoring the side of it which makes sense as our being town which is as likely, if not more likely than the scum ploy idea, especially given other evidence.

I targeted Glooble first because I town read him, period. I targeted him a second time because after yesterday's POE situation I figured I'm probably getting flipped regardless so I wanted to use up my shots, and well, Glooble was being what we call too scummy to be scum and stayed my top town read. I explicitly breadcrumbed this yesterday when we were considering me or Eddie and I straight claimed that I had taken town action that was confirmable. It never pushed to requiring confirmation and I read Glooble not saying anything unnecessarily as also towny.

At any rate, this clearly is not some last minute thing considering I claimed it yesterday.

Does your power say what would happen if you target someone who doesn't have a night action?

It does not. Also, the mod has made no confirmation or otherwise any other response whatsoever to my actions.

My night actions have always been confirmed. Is this a scumslip?

Oh hey, I was wrong. I double checked. The first one, I had gotten wires crossed and changed my target so the confirmation came in a more general tone. I see now I got confirmation on the second action. Not sure how i missed it but I don't do notifications or anything so I do have to manually get to it from my PM.

The way you wrote this is confusing to me. What does it mean to side with ash on that?

Have you been spectating since the beginning?
If so, what would have been your suggestion for mathdude to guess (and why)?
Did you think eddie was scum when he got voted to be exiled?

I thought Eddie was scum, and was wrong; I thought Joth was scum, and was right. I would probably have guessed 0 in mathdude's position.

(Joth's position was "there must be a 2-2 scum split" and Ash's was "there's likely a 2-2 scum split, but we don't know".)

Post by: Jack Rudd on June 04, 2021, 08:34:21 pm
That there might only have been 3 scum originally, or they might have split 3-1 one way or the other (although presumably not 3-1 with the 1 on joth's timeline, which would presumably have triggered a turning point of some sort; I think we have to assume that there is still at least one scum on each timeline).

(Joth's position was "there must be a 2-2 scum split" and Ash's was "there's likely a 2-2 scum split, but we don't know".)

OK, so I don't want to send us down the rabbit hole again, so I won't chase this discussion down much, but joth never said there must be - his was always (and now that we know he was scum, probably carefully crafted as) "there's likely a 2-2 scum split, so let's assume that for now". Ash is the one who claimed that joth said it as a definite statement, and that got me (and gloobie) to argue with ash.

For those who think gloobie and I are scum, why would we do that? Even Dylan who's trying to infer things from a previous scum game of mine, should realize that at no point did I ever suggest "crazy claims" that would put so many "partners" at risk.

No particular read, although I have slightly less of a human read on Dylan than the others. Not got much confidence in that, though.

EFHW, can you tell me more about why not Jack? Or why Dylan over Jack?

Scola, fill me on what you are thinking beyond voting for me.

Jack, what do you find scummy about Dylan?

I’m going back and forth on Scola. I don’t think the tunnel is scummy, and I don’t know that scum Scola would put all his eggs into targeting me without having read the Joth exile more carefully. Jack(Galz) is a cipher. I have no idea. But with so few options, that is significant because there is nothing to make him town. Dylan is more interesting. As I’ve said before, I don’t think scum had any reason to bus. It would have been too easy to just no exile. And there was no pressure to build that wagon when Dylan did it.

I think right now I am leaning toward voting for Jack, but I’m really looking for some insight from the folks not voting.

Ok, so, I haven't contributed much so far today so I decided to a vca. Turns out there are only 15 votes to analyze. I might go back and look at italicized votes from Days 1 and 3, but this is just regular votes. I might as well type it up here so everyone can have the information. I left out all of scola's test votes.

Post by: EFHW on June 05, 2021, 12:35:37 pm
My conclusion:

vote: Jack

My reasoning:

1. joth voted ash early on, repeating a dynamic from the previous game. Then joth votes Galz after he is starting to get into trouble. I think he is asking his partner to show up.

2. When Dylan v. joth at 676, he could easily have defended a vote for Galz instead, so bussing seems unlikely.

3. Didds and I were on joth from early on, so we are obv!town  :)

4. joth's Didds and scola votes at 681 and 700 look like clutching at straws.

5. I believe the masons claim.

Scola, fill me on what you are thinking beyond voting for me.

I honestly don't know. The problem is my two biggest scum reads on posts were you and Dylan, but you (and others) are right that it doesn't really make sense for you and he to have voted for Exile and X-1 on joth when each of you did. (maybe Dylan @ x-1 if he was hoping no one would hammer or someone would switch). So I've convinced myself that you are probably town now, and Dylan also.

Which leaves EFHW and Jack.  EFHW being an early vote on joth could have been bussing and then gotten stuck there? But still feels like jack is a better exile for the day (which would be slightly unfortunate since he technically just joined).

However, if Jack is town, the only thing that makes sense to me was the fake mason claim out of desperation, and you all might as well be ready for another forward timeline 1v1 next time around lol.

See, it's these kinds of things that make me read both of you as scummy - this is a perfect thing for scum to do right now if they know Jack is town: trying to already seed the doubt going forward.

It’s scummy to be skeptical of a claim that clears someone who is on the wrong side of a pretty strong POE? If you were me, Dylan, or EFHW you’d be doing the exact same thing.

What doubt are we seeding right now? My (and I think our) opinion was and is that the Joth wagon was an extremely towny one that scum probably wasn't on (unless it was EFHW getting trapped on it early), and so if there is another scum on our timeline, it's incredibly likely that it was either you or Galz (now Jack). This is nothing new or that couldn't already be inferred about where I (maybe we, don't want to speak for Didds) stand on reads.

Very pleasantly surprised by that flip. I was hopeful, but skeptical. Now, I accept that masons are a thing, and if it is a lie, then you deserve the win Scola and Glooble and I tip my hat.

So I don't know that merging the timelines truly ICs us, but combining the timelines + killing from the forward timeline makes me think remaining scum are from the reverse timeline. Also, EFHW was the only other person on our timeline that I would have thought PoE would implicate if the masons were honest and Jack flipped town, but I don't think EFHW would have bussed on two partners, and like EFHW was saying, the rest of the Joth wagon was super towny, so {Awaclus, PPS, hypercube, MiX}, which of you are scum?

Ok, so we haven't had a single night with double kills. That makes me think it's unlikely scum has both a normal kill and a poison kill, unless maybe the scum poisoner is one-shot, but then why would Eddie have had two doctor shots?

The poisoner could be an SK variant, but again, why haven't they killed?

We know from Eddie's flip that poison must exist. I think it's logical to assume scum can only poison. Which means their decision about who dies tonight is already made.

Does anyone disagree with this chain of reasoning?

Eddie's role could be a red herring and there is no poisoner.

Didds being a regular doctor suggests regular nk's are happening, unless she was the red herring!

I have mod confirmation that my motivator shots are used up on Glooble who claims he has no night action to use them on. That said, I also have confirmation my shots get used regardless if the person can use them or not. POE from this timeline strongly suggests me as possible scum. I get that.

But do you have mod confirmation that the person is informed they were targeted even if they have no night action?

The mod has indicated that targeted players will be made aware of which of their actions the motivation can be applied to. So, maybe?

Checking in. 1v1 pps vs gloobie, of course I'm voting pps, as I know Gloobie is town.

Seems really quick to hammer, though. But I guess I can post: intent to hammer!

If you've got anything else to say today, do it now. I'll likely wait until tomorrow forum time as I'm pretty tired and not sure how late I'll be up anyway; and want to not quite go just yet.

He could have had a night action blocked and be fishing for information as to why that happened.

It's a strange play to me, but at the same time if he's town why would he be so eager to turn you not confirming his action into a 1v1? Especially since what you claimed gives a plausible reason for a motivator shot to not notify you, and I don't think scum!you would want to lie and deny you were motivated, especially since you just tied yourself to scola.

I've already clarified I think Glooble is the poisoner and the motivations were used as such which is why he isn't claiming them and the WIFOM is enough to flip me instead of him today which is just enough time to kill enough town for the win. Flip either of the "masons" today and we may still have a chance, though.

Well we kill pps first, right? Even ignoring math's result, they're in a counterclaim with Glooble.

Vote: pps

The timeline merge with 5 still alive in the reverse timeline really strongly points to all the forward timeline people being town.

vote: PPS seems clearly the way to go today.

I think the other scum is most likely MiX.

Yeah, well, I think you're scum too <3

For what it's worth, I think the merge would've happened today regardless of what happened.

Thinking about it more, MiX is probably right. Which means we probably shouldn't 100% IC the remaining forward timeline players. That's me, scola and Dylan.

Not if reverse can only kill on reverse timeline and forward can only kill on forward and Joth was the forward guy with the normal NK.

I don't follow. We only saw one death at the start of D3, if Glooble was a motivated poisoner he would have been able to poison two people N1 (and we know Eddie didn't use a poison doctor shot).

The issue is that on the other timeline, it seemed like it was Jack vs scola by PoE, and so when Jack flipped scum the mason claim just seems a lot more believable.

Motivated players can perform the same action twice or, in the case of multiple actions like JOAT, can perform multiple actions in the same night. Motivation is only available for the night it is performed.

To be more clear and answer the question, the motivated player can select different targets for the actions so, yes, multiple NKs are possible. More to the point, if poisoning takes two actions to kill the person, which seems reasonable with Eddie's role, then a motivated poisoner could NK in a single night.

Interesting that you would have me so high up since you and I were both instrumental in exiling both scum on our timeline, and we were both off the PPS wagon.

However, I will just go first, because I tried looking up my role on the mafiascum wiki and didn't really see it listed as a regular role, so it's not something that me going last would catch someone counterclaiming.

Claim: I am Teddy, the 1-shot challenger. I post in the main thread that I want to challenge a person, and all votes are reset and then for the rest of the day I and my target are the only two people we can vote for. Whichever of us gets the most votes is exiled.

At this point, I don't plan on actually using my ability, but it's possible in the right circumstances I might. I definitely will in the following case though. If I get to X-1, I obviously will because why would I not reset the wagon and prove I was telling the truth.
Title: Re: RMM 58: Memento Mafia - Day 6!!!!
Post by: MiX on June 15, 2021, 07:12:33 pm
Okay, so pps was traitor. So from the evidence we have here, it's technically possible the last scum's in forward timeline.

Claiming's correct here, I'm a 1-Shot Bulletproof.

PoE's strong here if we assume that the last scum's in reverse timeline, which, hey, we used that logic to kill pps, so it could easily be correct. Pps being traitor does make this a bit more tricky, but I still scumread hyper the most, and I don't think 2 scum die like that in forward timeline if there's 3 there.

I see people scumread me? That's fine, just kill hyper next and I'm pretty sure we win.

I'm Leonard Shelby, the Delayed Cop. N1 I targeted chairs and got a town result, N3 I targeted Awaclus and got a town result, N5 I targeted MiX.

I do think the flavour names are important since scum had fake ones lined up and some of the roles/alignments line up with them; so it's interesting that Dylan claimed Teddy since in the movie Teddy is Edward Gammell (PPS). Possibly EFHW is the forward-timeline Leonard in which case two Teddies seems reasonable.

Yeah, I guess in my head when I read that the first time I thought EFHW meant Awaclus was obvtown before the claim, but yeah I'm tracking now.

I guess from my perspective then it has to be between cube and MiX then. I had been townreading hypercube, so I think right now I would lean towards MiX first. If it's hypercube, that was a really good fakeclaim. Also, 1-shot bulletproof was the scummiest of the claims so far imho. I don't remember Awaclus claiming yet, but unless it was 4 scum + 1 traitor he's probably town. We also (probably) don't have to worry about godfather there since that was part of Joth's flip. If it was 4 scum and a traitor, then it's almost certainly hypercube and Awaclus with that claim, but needing to get 5 correct exiles in 7 nights (or have had the insulin doc successfully kill scum) seems very scum-sided, so I'm not worried about that.

Yeah, I think at this point I'd be ready to vote MiX.

It's a good thing you're basically conf!town right now, or that would be really frustrating.

So is there a reason to wait until late in the day to vote close the deadline? I don't want to rush things if people have thoughts, but I also don't want this game to completely stall out if no one has other thoughts or their minds are already made up and are just waiting for the deadline to vote.

Actually, I'm going to go ahead and Vote: MiX.

Oh I was waiting for EFHW to claim but I see she did.

Yeah we can just do this.

Vote: hypercube, it's what scum claims and also scum's most likely in reverse timeline. Don't forget about this tomorrow.

I also want to note it pre-exile, but this game feels like it's been the least MiX-like MiX has been in some ways. I noticed it earlier, but there were definitely more pressing issues and notable players to sort out until now. This is part of why I'm pretty confident we'll see a scum flip there beyond the already discussed PoE. Which makes this ironic that I'm so sure it's MiX when it's probably the least scummy sounding he's been to my gut, but most everyone else over the last couple days has had strong reasons they are town besides MiX, hyper, and Awaclus, but with hyper's claim, it basically rules out Awaclus, leaving us with a claimed cop and a claimed 1-shot bulletproof in a game that town did have a vig of sorts.

Then there's this. Either hyper was too accurate (aka knew the alignments already) and tried to use EFHW for the cred by just trying to lone wolf it in a way or they are just town with good reads this game that helped push out 2 scum (at least).

I guess Awaclus' lack of claim plus the continued(?) twilights does point towards him being town (unless there are potential scum twilight powers I'm not aware of).

Anyways hopefully MiX is the last scum and none of this matters.

Okay, yeah, there's that. I knew how my claim would look anyway.

Just remember that hypercube picking me was absolutely useless, and that's exactly what scum wants to do here.

Yeah, well, after last game I wanted to change my playstyle a bit. I was tired of trying to win and it backfiring. Now I didn't, and, well, we are winning, but no thanks to me. I guess there's merit to the fact town crushed the half of the game I wasn't in. Would I have changed anything this game? Maybe if I had defended uncle, we would've won even harder. But this game ended up being town sided because of the joth exile so who cares.

I just want to say that I'm leery of treating Awaclus as conf!town, firstly because my cop result is the only reason I have to think he's town, and secondly because he popped up when the possibility of a second godfather came up and made some comment.

I copped you because my preferred exile as of last Night was glooble/scola, so scum killing them definitely simplified my reads.

It's sad that that investigation won't be useful but there's really no other option, if you're town then your read on me would lose us both the game in LxLo.

Starting back on D4. I guess if that's what he was going for it worked on me, although that would have been an extremely subtle thing to play for - especially since it would have required the other scum to pick up on it. I am fairly positive it was an attempt to communicate something although I'm not certain what exactly.

I'm not sure if that's actually something scum!Awaclus would do but it created some doubt in my mind.

I mean, a delayed cop is already pretty nerfed compared to a regular cop, and the presence of 1 godfather already weakens it even more, 2 would make it so weak as to almost be useless in most games. So I think we can probably throw out the 2 godfather idea completely. Not saying something like a redirector couldn't be in play, but I would say the 2nd godfather thing is probably not a concern.

Yeah, that's what I think too. It didn't help that scum couldn't use their actions...ever...but really the only significant power here is joth's, I can only use mine N5 or later (assume timelines always merge when they did).

I mean, there's like...IC, tracker, doctor, mason lovers, cop (delayed just means they always pick reverse timeline which conveniently bypasses the godfather), and then it's RMM so everyone else also has something going on, which means scum has to claim something. Powers were so simple I had no idea what to claim that wasn't already in the game. I was seriously considering claiming 1-shot poisoner, lol.

Post by: pingpongsam on June 21, 2021, 10:38:14 am
As traitor I felt it was poor play to mention traitor too early although Didds set me up for it as she mentioned scum not having knowledge of one another. I did leverage this later when it was clear it needed communicating, although too late. I was hoping my obv scum read/bus on Joth was Telegraph enough. I was actually surprised how much everyone read it town. The missed traitor shot and Galz' lack of participation doomed us I felt from the beginning.

The 1v1 with Eddie was only possible with ashersky and while I can't take full credit for manipulating him through buddying I do take some.

The town claim troll was a prayer for stay of execution which I thought MiX was also likely to get when Hyper started foibling his read/claims.

I had come up with the motivator claim N0 and it really sucks that Glooble had no actual night actions because I did roleblock him both nights with intent to mislynch them for "lying" when I brought out the fake claim. I credit DatSwan for the fake claim as I was the main character's fake wife and when I thought what roles she would have motivator was the obvious choice. I still feel it was extremely strong play if Glooble had actual night actions to speak of. The fact that I never actually blocked anything also really hamstrung us I believe.

All in all I think scum had a very bad game mostly because of poor luck (whiffed actions, missed traitor) but I would have liked to have seen Galz actually play the early game.

Hope that answers any questions about my play this game if any where had.

Post by: MiX on June 21, 2021, 10:46:53 am
Well other than missing roleblocking I think you played really well pps. And I agree the game was doomed when chairs flipped. If the scum strategy was to rely on the traitor living XiLo, I think we would've won. But sadly, that wasn't possible anymore, and it also wasn't the line we took.

You can say you signaled poorly to us, but honestly I was completely pocketed by your early vote on me.

It happens a lot that if you just had an awesome scum game, it's followed by a game where you get caught quickly. Several of us got scumvibes early on. I don't think ash's brouhaha was that pivotal.

I am quite different these days, I do think. I was trying to be funny and serious at the same time. I know I built quite the reputation here so I was hoping to alleviate the idea that I'm the complete wildcard I used to be. It was my first scum game since the pandemic started though, so I was definitely nervous to play that side after being thoroughly trained up playing town on another forum for so long. Where I was nervous was in the QT. It felt like damned if I post in there and damned if I don't.

Hey all!
Thank you so much for playing!
Unfortunately, this game was originally set for 18+ players... and I very much should of stuck to my guns on that one. No one's fault but my own... Nothing detrimental, but it did cause a little imbalance that worked against Skum.

1. Given a situation where Skum was exiled early in a timeline, it handcuffed that timeline of Skum to not being able to use the NK and an ability while Timelines were active.
2. (continuing one 1.) And as Skum's powers were not crazy good, more specific and combo based... when LL died that really did put them in a huge hole.
3. Timelines Merging - Originally this was a multi faction game designed to have hella crazy investigation and proc roles and lots of random shots being fired off (limitations to make it fair i.e. timelines). I really don't wanna get into it more than this, because I would like to use some of the concepts that were not used in a future game... However, A hugeeee oversight on my part was after the game was rolled down to 16 players... within pretty much all reason the only way that the game was combining was when half the game was left alive. There were 3 different was in which it could of happened.... but 90+% of the time in this set up it was going to be the way it was. Leaving the timelines apart so long, also did not help skum's chances.

OK - Now all that being said, town did play excellently... I am not trying to take the credit away or anything :P
Feel free to ask questions! *Disclaimer - Like I mentioned, I may not want to answer some regarding the set up.*


OK what else.....

Someone shared the shared threads....
- If you want to feel free to share your QT (I will not share it), but you are welcome to. I will be posting all the roles so they can be looked at because I love feedback.
- I will be posting night action summaries shortly.
- I also have a follow along thing that is just more for fun that will be up also soon.
- If anyone else wants anything else let me know.


Thank you all so much for playing. I know there was a lot of hesitation from some people, and I apologize if it did not live up. FWIW I think it will lead to a super fun game sometime in the future - So Not for Not :)



LaLight is my MVP this game. Thank you so much for Co-Modding!

So, kudos to ash. A formidable opponent. (The rest of you too, but ash took me down).

Thanks.  It was a good battle -- I was projecting more confidence than I had that I would win the fight.  I mean, I would have triggered my IC at some point if I had to, but still.

Also, I liked the freedom of having the triggered IC in my pocket but never using it.  Helped a lot.

writing that out - if I had to do it over I would of given skum a pool of x shots instead of assigning abilities to specific players. I think that would of made it a better game.

Looking at those action resolutions, it just seems like there wasn't very much going on at any given night for this being an RMM. I mean, town never had more than 2 people do anything at the same time, and literally the only useful result we would have been hyper's cop result on MiX, but the game ended before that even mattered. So scum might have been underpowered, but it doesn't seem to me like town was really overpowered, it's just the numbers and PoE were too much for scum.
