ok, it's getting a bit late here and i have a headache so excuse me if i am about to say dumb shit but - what exactly are your points that make him scum here? he wasn't willing to go along with your questioning when he felt he's already explained things? he thought you were paired with imaginality? (you already said you don't think that's outside his town range)

like, i can see his play be annoying here but why is it scummy?

i don't actually know. i've seen bravado from him as either alignment, and it would take a bit more digging to figure out if the type of bravado that ignores the rest of the game is more likely to be townie or scummy.

my first instinct is that is scummy, simply because i can think of an example of him doing something similar as town while i can't pull a similar example from memory for town, but i feel zero confidence in that answer without actually going through games.

sup fucks i'm back from my walk, who missed me

for the duration of my walk, i first came up with a psychological case-study reason why baltar is like 99.9% town here, then i came up with a reason why i should hammer him on the next possible occasion, and THEN i came up with a reason why imaginality/aristea is definitely 2/3rds of our scumteam here

aren't you glad you /inned into this game?

Am I wrong?
why are you assuming that rh9 thinks he's actually gonna get listened to wrt the keep?

ok but like, this is lowkey creeping me out

because i said i wanted something else flipped before gate

and we both said it should be the keep

and then imaginality started pointing out which flips in the keep make you look bad

and all of a sudden you're pressuring me into voting here?

Was this before or after reading their 1v1 last night?
after, it's a meta-reason that has nothing to do with the 1v1

basically, if imaginality is scum - why the fuck am i the ic, when i said i was town on baltar and scum on imaginality? the only reason that happens is if the team thought that winning imaginality v tanner is MORE difficult than winning imaginality v baltar. and i think the only way scum could've thought something like that is if both (1) they knew that my "i don't lose 1v1's" wasn't an empty threat and (2) they knew that baltar and i have history together and that he probably can read me better than rand. and i think ari is the only person here who should be aware of both of those things.

The approach with Baltar would have had the potential to win both games. The approach with imaginality tanks one game to win the other. I don't really see the need for Scum!Ari to make that drastic switch when Gate->Keep likely won her the game with her prior approach.
could you explain this to me? because based on the colours, i'm assuming you're saying you think she'd be partnered with imaginality, but i don't get how you come to that conclusion if your read is "the approach with imaginality wins one and tanks the other"?

you see, if only i could confidently say "both luke and pav are town" then i would have SOME peace of mind that i am not going to be seduced into a loss here but where is pav??? i have higher expectations of town!pav

which may be unfair because if the dude is town he replaced into a very poopy slot but like

Why do you think Luke is scum?
i don't, he's currently who i'd want to be voted at the keep

my issue is, if aristeia is scum, i am kind of scared what those associates mean for you/imag bc i think ari is aware of some things and would 100% be trying to fuck with my head there if she was scum

and pav is like, i have a pet town!pav theory that i cannot justify with anything other than my gut so

this game is fucked is the tl;dr

because it's like, (1) i remember you once mentioning how you were taking notes when catching up in jungle oligarchy and (2) some details like that are something that almost never occurs to me to fake as scum so i'm like if *that* is a galaxy brain pocket then bruh

first of all, fuck you, i wasn't ctrl+f'ing "note" in your scumgames from last year

second of all what in the everloving fuck is this:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11943578
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11956698
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11956705
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11956721

like, the amount of "MY NOTES" is actually agh

though to be fair, it looks fairly more natural in jungle oligarchy where he was like "in my notes i have it that datisi's slot is totally scum" (it was not btw) and this game it looks more like "did i mention i have notes so very townie only townies have notes right?"

i am regretting not going to the keep, yeah.

as i said, i am not going to say "x is the scummiest one, vote someone else" because fuck that. i'm not a dictator. i said what i think, but my reads are no better than rand, in fact they are probably worse than rand considering i am the ic. i will not be mad at anyone here if they're town and they listen to themselves and it turns out bad. but like... don't force me to be doing everything. it's your minigame.

he can guarantee that his game is the one flipped first, which would help his scumteam if his associates are such in a way that would lead us down the wrong path. is that what you were aiming for?

In post 1654, imaginality wrote:I think that's significant with Ari in particular who'd just shifted from scum reading VP to scum reading me based primarily on a misinterpretation.
i was under the impression that she shifted to scumreading you mostly based on the fact she started townreading vp?

and that analysis is... fine, i guess, my only issue with it is that vp/implo team doesn't make sense based on d1. when i first proposed that vp/imaginality/implo go to the same location, vp first agreed, then said that he actually wants someone else to be the third, then proposed implo go to the keep instead? if i'm assuming that scum isn't purposefully putting the minigame numbers as 2-1-0, then those two don't really make sense.

i'll definitely do some rereading today anyway. that scumflip is a huge egg on my face, i don't trust myself to be making any calls now, at least not yet.

i was skimming earlier, and i thought this is actually fairly +town in the same way that aristeia's "come to the keep with me so i can vote you" is +town. right after i said i want to go to the keep, baltar is proposing (1) that we go to the same location together and (2) that he is confident in being able to townread me. if we were to end up at the keep, he either has to correctly townread me (lose the keep) or bullshit something why this is my scumgame, which would make me scumread him and vote the third person (lose the keep).

granted, don't know how much water this holds if lukewarm entered the scumchat like "ok i'm locking in the keep immediately fuck y'all", *and* considering he was lowkey angling towards a scumread on me on day 1... pain.

on *another* note, luke flipping scum looks potentially bad for vp (bc vp wanted luke to to be the one voted in the keep) and ari flipping green looks potentially good for imaginality (bc he wanted her to get voted). so if we're going by *that* route, it's kinda puzzling why scum!luke would be like "ackchually we're resolving the keep now" when i was giving very clear indication that i was on the verge of voting baltar.

why do i play mafia

aaaand if i were to vote, and baltar were to flip red, that makes ari look bad? because she went to trying to pocket me and get me to vote imaginality? wouldn't that have made the keep easier to win? instead of doing the yolo suicide strats?

i'm currently out, and i'm not sure if there's a point in me discussing this stuff until i sit down and actually reread at least parts of this game. and this cursed game kept me up till 5am last night so i would like at least half a day off. will be back on it before the new year here, though.

though i'm not sure how much stock i should be putting into "scum would be trying super hard to be 1-1-1". not only were they guaranteed to not autolose on day 1 based on ari and luke locking into keep within the first 3 minutes, i still think my feelings of most of the game being "i don't care where i go" on day 1 are valid, especially now that we know that pav was town. means scum didn't really care about where they go.

i still find it kinda wild that apparently, even after being in day 2 for like... 5? days? you still thought there's gonna be a cross-vote rather than someone self-hammering as soon as they get the chance.

without exaggeration, still the hardest i have been snown in a mafia game by a single person.

but that's not my problem here. my problem is that i am awfully bad ta hammer votes like this. and whenever it was a clear cut decision of "x is scum", that was wrong. and then there's also the fact that scum deliberately chose me, with these reads, to be the ic. and i'm supposed to just accept it?

In post 1296, implosion wrote:Right now I'm not entirely sure why we should drastically adjust reads in other games based on how earlier games flip anyhow - again having accurate reads in game X while playing in game Y does not really make one more likely to be town.

The one kind of analysis I do think is directly valid in this way is the analysis around whether the game was 1-1-1 or 2-1-0. That is to say, if we flip wall and keep before gate, and it turns out it was 2-1-0 before the swap, then suddenly any argument around imaginality not wanting to 1v1 VP becomes much less valid, because imaginality would have been forced to 1v1 either VP or Tanner. If it turns out it was 1-1-1 before the swap, then suddenly those arguments gain additional credence because we'd then have to account for why exactly scum chose to swap this pair of people.
imagine if scum!implo wrote this post, that would be fuckin wild man

my problem is, well, that implo-pav swap kinda Makes Sense regardless if it was 1-1-1 or 2-1-0. if it's 2-1-0, they yeet pav into keep who's likely never getting voted, and the strongest townread is at the wall who basically guarantees a win there. so that makes sense. if it's 1-1-1 and implo is town, it *still* makes sense to throw pav into the keep since that essentially again turns it into a 50/50 because we're never voting pav, and they have a 50/50 at the wall, and maybe i am confbiased i don't wanna do this ._.

hmm

if implo is scum, that means imaginality is scum, because it doesn't make sense for baltar to not once, but twice shove his buddy into a game that is already got 1 scum and 1 town (first agreeing implo goes with him/imag, then sending him to keep)

if implo is town, that means imaginality is town, because scum decided to keep the gate (haha) the same way it was and why would they do that unless? vp is a scumfuck pocketing me

there we go game solved i am sure there are no problems with the above at all (:

ok wait pause

this post and the one before implies that you have a certain degree of certainty that 1-1-1 is decently scum!indicative for baltar, no?

so why are you like, very timid around it instead of going full force "yo tanner you should uhh fuckin yeet vp"?

i mean... wall being the easiest game for scum is a factual statement. and one scum must always end up at the wall. how is that openwolfy or town!indicative.

and, imaginality's posts are more refined than baltar's. yeah. how is that relevant to alignment?

ah, i definitely knew that multifactorials are a thing that exists.

a) pro-town is nice, but in reality it's a pro-baltar slot. if you're town, you go with a person you have a somewhat good readrate on. if you're town, you get an opportunity to send me back into therapy. i can't really fault you for taking this route if you're town, after all i wanted to be selfish wrt the keep, but the truth is i did say i townread you on d1 and i became an ic by scum's choice on n1. and i have to take that into account.

b) i would want to reread your stuff to verify. it is true that you have engaged with a shit ton of things this game but i'm not sure if it's to the level fo unfakeable yet. it's like... you have been sorty and townie and all that but like. it's weird to say "i can be accountable for my reads" when this is a setup that we are playing.

c) i have seen heavy mechanical blunders from both sides so this isn't something i can take at face value

d) it's true, i don't think there's any way in hell you could have predicted that i would make a callback to that one (1) post in jungle oligarchy where you mentioned having notes, or that one (1) post in 2195 where you mentioned being labile in your reads as town. like, you would have to be a psychic for that. but the question remains that these might be traits of your game of mafia as a whole, and not necessarily town!indicative.

e) i mean, this is a setup where associates are very important to manipulate, and we can assume luke's associates with the rest of the gang are probably Good considering he forced his own flip first. but even ignoring all that, this is something i REALLY need to reread to see if that timeline holds up -- and frankly i have too much alcohol in my system right now for that

here's another thought - maybe luke didn't think his scumflip would help win the other two games. maybe he thought somebody else's scumflip would have tanked his odds of winning the keep.

In post 1820, VP Baltar wrote:He simply says "implosion is the least likely to be limped, therefore he is scum"....which.

... You say the VP/Luke/implo scum team sacrificed the Keep because they are likely to win the Gate and the Wall. But why not just win the Keep and have much better odds overall?
this has me thinking. maybe we're overly focusing on the gate. maybe luke's scumflip helps somebody else. implo isn't likely to be limped, sure, but he was already likely to win the wall anyway if he's scum.

did anyone else notice how weird luke and toog/rh9 relations are this game? like, luke started off townreading toog and straight up inviting him to the keep which he obviously refused if he's scum. okay. then toog got sick and disappeared from the game. fine.

then rh9 replaced in, and whoooo boy. first he made a readslist where his ONE AND ONLY scumread is luke. like. isn't that just a bit odd?? and his reasons for scumreading luke were??? ? ?? ? ? ? and then luke starts going how he really REALLY wants to suddenly yeet rh9?? and then he just fucking goes and commits scooter ankle at the keep?

What does this even mean?

How does swapping Pav and implo "help me fulfil my desire?"
You seem to be talking to Implo like he is town, so from your pov that means we were at :

Scum!luke, Ari, Implo at the Keep and scum!numberQ, toog, pav at the Wall.

Why not swap toog over pav? In popcorn Toog had me as his top town read and pav read me as scum? And pav acts paranoid of me in every game since my scum newbie game. And then Pav would have been the miselim bait at the wall

This feels like you started with the idea that you were going to call me scum, and went with it.
like, look at this. this almost feels like. like rh9 dropped into this game, read the scum pt, saw some stuff about having to distance from buddies or whatever. so he painted luke to be scummy. but then he also wrote about how luke really wanted to win the keep. and like, considering the histories of luke and pav, i can kinda imagine the conversation in the scum pt where luke is like "ay yo let's swap pav into the keep because not only is his slot garbage, he's my friend and i get to fool him and win the keep" like

and the fact that rh9 mentioned something like that makes me wonder if this was a tmi slip from reading the scum pt

actually not sure if this makes sense... baltar has been screaming to resolve the gate for like 5 years now, i don't think it would make sense for luke to hurry *then* if baltar's scumflip would have made him look bad, or at least would have made aristeia look good which is also a problem

imaginality's scumflip would have potentially been a hindrance, i guess?

thinking about it more - baltar and rh9 are the two people who have used the argument of "luke was talking shit about me" in and respectively. and that would make sense why luke committed sudoku right after he got some distancy-theatre in with rh9, as he already had some in with baltar. and even if gate flipped first, it was becoming increasingly obvious ari isn't paired with either of the possible scumfucks at the gate...

No, even if I were scum you could still hammer VP and win at the Wall. Because no way is implosion scum if I'm scum, so he won't autohammer.

Whereas when I flip town, implosion is in ideal position right now to win at Wall.
i think i missed the memo on why implosion and you cannot be scum together. because even if i were to agree with your theory of "luke lowered his chance of winning keep because he's certain in the other two games, and implo is in best standing at the wall", that doesn't mean you can't be partners?

i already explained it. you enter the game, start calling luke scum for absolutely nonsense reasons, luke 180's his read on you and starts calling you scum, and then accelerates the keep flip. it doesn't feel natural at all.

you just claimed that you're using a 3p-lylo vote as a reason test. i don't think anything more needs to be said.

hi sorry i am bacc

i did read the posts that you quoted, and yeah. a lot of them seem to be in the similar vein of the arguments he had with me on d1, but that might just eb his style of faking reads, not necessarily with townies. i also went back through his iso while ctrl+f'ing "imag" and there definitely is... much less. i think there was 1? maybe 2 direct questions, and they seemed, like. bland and boring.

i did find some confusing stuff when luke was talking about imaginality's read case list, i'll have to reread those parts tomorrow when it's not 4am

now, a part of me is decently wondering if this is luke+baltar scumteam and luke purposefully had associates that were *nothing* with imaginality so that the scumlord baltar could push these arguments after luke's flip. a rebuttal to this theory is that baltar has been *screaming* for the hammer in the gate for like the whole day now, so it seems a bit of a weird strategy to set up these associates only to have baltar flip first? and like, his flip would just spew ari town so it's not like it actually like, worked two ways

i should also check imag>luke and baltar>luke assoc tomorrow too maybe

and re implo: what is the town motivation for voting a person they essentially have a nullread on? i'll have to go check if there's actually been any progression there but

but also i am kinda getting it in my head that implo is scum here who's just waiting to see if i'm about to fuck up gate to see if he can hammer for the win so like

outside the game? no, not really. within the game, i'd probably curse not only you but also your entire bloodline. :shifty:

if you're town, i don't envy your position. numberq has straight up abandoned us, and rh9 feels like an AI playing mafia. if i had to hammer within your game right this very second, i'd go rh9. numberq has pinged me townie a few times, while neither toog nor rh9 did; and i stand by my observation that rh9's entry into this game is +partner with luke. like, he enters the game, has one and only scumread, the reasons for that scumread are shaky at best, that scumread starts theatering with him and ~arguing~, and then that scumread decides to accelerate the flipping of the keep. it doesn't feel natural, and the fact that it went both ways feels very concerning to me. but i'd be lying if i said i feel a great amount of certainty about it.

I've been having similar thoughts.
This is also a reason why we might want to resolve Keep first if it still has Luke and Ari in it - if they turn out to be town/town then there's highly likely scum amongst the conspicuous "I don't care where I end up"-ers.
what was the logic behind this? you said "i've been having similar thoughts" then outed a conclusion that was completely opposite from my own

none of what you just said is wrong, but like... luke accelerated his own flip. knowing that we're gonna look back at his associates. and knowing they're good with you and bad with imaginality. why shouldn't i be getting worried here that you got sick of my indecision and told him to initiate flipping the keep first (like, he first started talking how he's gonna vote) so you could use this argument?

i mean, i get it. like, i was thinking of a game where town was similarly on the brink of winning, and scum started panicking and doing weird gambits. and here i'm like, if i really am about to hammer baltar correctly, what's the scumteam doing? where's the urgency? and then i realize not only did luke commit the unalive, rh9 did the weird sudden vote thing, and i'm like hmMMM

no, that it has something to do with you shielding imaginality. like, if you're scum here, and imaginality is scum, and you see me about to hammer imaginality, that's straight up game losing. you *have* to do something to ~shake things up a bit~.

sure. maybe implo is the scum and that's why he wants to resolve the wall. maybe numberq is the scum and he's not reacting because he's not here. maybe baltar is scum so of course scum at the wall isn't panicking because why would they?

okay, here's a thing that's genuinely been confusing the hell out of me this game. implo offered if i want to flip the wall first, in order to prove that he's town, and that the split was 1-1-1 pre-night. because that is a point in scum!baltar's favour (because why does scum!imaginality voluntarily walk into a 1v1 where the other two players proclaimed that they're good at being townie and townreading each other). but, when i asked him what's the point because he's currently saying vp is town, he said that he finds vp more townie, even with the above information calculated in. why would he then be offering to get flipped so that i have that information, if he deems it to not be *that* valuable?

this was supposed to be a Serious Alt, why does it anyways devolve into shitposting

anyway, one of the reasons why i don't want a hammer yet is because the damn wall should be discussing things too. and numberq has been heavily not doing that. so i'm gonna pretend like i totally am not dying inside and that i'm calmly waiting for him to get back

god, this is a meme post one way or another. picks me to be the ic, and then pre-writes a post where he says how he thinks i am scum, but if i happen to be town then this other person is scum (if i hear one more "see that is not theatre" from baltar i'm gonna lose it)

mmm. so from town!imag perspective, he would see scum!baltar proposing imag/baltar/darby. wouldn't it then follow that darby is town? like, this comes right after he calls my pre-flip flip read associate darby town case a waste of time because he didn't want darby with him and baltar. not because my logic of "scum would want a 2 town 1 scum" is incorrect.

also, my post on why darby slot is town was fucking brilliant and the fact that like 2/3rds of the game jumped on it to tell me it's nonsense should've been a sign it was good

at imag's wallpost , i forgot to eat dinner again, be back in a bit.

it's past 1 am, and the past... 3 hours i have been doing literally anything i can to procrastinate this game. but, i've just noticed something... weird.
In post 777, imaginality wrote:And another quick thing. I wasn't in favour of DArby joining me and VP so that speculation about both me and VP wanting that was a big waste of time.
I proposed Toogeloo as the third in post 275 and then argued against DArby and for Tanner being the third in post 314. On the other hand VP initially proposed DArby as the third and only said 'maybe swap DArby for Tanner' so it's not like Tanner was his first pick for the third slot.

And as I mentioned in my wall, remember also VP was aiming for me, him, DArby at the Wall so if DArby is town I think DArby was the intended mislim for that mini game.
this was imag discussing my "both imag and vp wanted imag/vp/darby, we know there's 1 scum in imag/darby, therefore darby is probably town because scum wouldn't be buddying 2 of themselves together". imag dismissed my idea, but not because talk is cheap, because he did not want darby with the two of them.

now, town!imag would know that vp is scum, so even if he found my idea bad because imag didn't want darby there... shouldn't he still find darby town from it? because from his pov, he has scum!vp arranging a trip of vp/imag/darby. yet that's not really the conclusion.
In post 971, imaginality wrote:This seems very plausibly like buddies not wanting any connections between them. Note also that VP's proposed setup always had numberQ in a different game to him.
...
numberQ and Toogeloo both look very plausible as buddies. VP had both numberQ and Toogeloo at a separate location to himself so I don't think we can distinguish between them that way
due to these parts of the wall in 971, you can't argue that imaginality didn't believe in "scum!vp could be purposefully putting buddies together", since he used the arguments of "vp wanted these players at different locations than himself" as +scum points.
In post 1027, imaginality wrote:I'd also note here that VP first proposed me+him+DArby/Pav, Tanner was just listed as an alternative. And from a scum!VP perspective DArby/Pav is very much mislim bait if town. So if DArby/Pav is town, VP's first option was what he himself says is a 'way easier scenario' and his backup option was a player who he knows will town read him for being at the same location. Flipping Keep first will confirm if DArby/Pav is town or not.
in this post, imag once again talks about the fact that vp wanted a vp/imag/darby location. he even proposes to flip the keep first to see. but like, shouldn't the logical conclusion from town!imag's pov here be that vp was trying to put two townies with himself??
In post 1040, imaginality wrote:I feel surest about Ari being town and Luke has said he thinks Ari's town so if it's entirely my call I'd get Luke to vote Ari.
If we do the 'get the scummiest player to choose who to vote' thing I'd get Pav to choose between the other two.
because, imag sure did not advocate for voting pav in the keep.

like, i know i might be confbiasing here, but this kind of feels like scum who was, at the same time, using the arguments "vp didn't want to go to the same location as these players" to be +scum points, while somehow never making the connection that "vp wanted to go to the same location as this player" to be a +town point. there were like, at least 2 opportunities for that connection to be made. yet it wasn't made. because town!pav was supposed to be the "toss this yeetbaity slot at the keep, nobody is ever going to be voting him lmao" townie?

In post 2000, imaginality wrote:I don't see what's odd about that position?
it's not odd to think pav was scum - i think every townie thought that at some point.

my issue is that the language you're using in about nq and toog seems to imply that they are +scum because vp (confirmed scum from your pov) did not want to be in the same game with them. which, if you were working on the assumption that scum would be trying to achieve a 1-1-1 split at the time, is a logical conclusion.

however, when you're faced with information that vp wanted an imag/vp/pav game, you don't bring up that, by the virtue of vp being scum and you being town, that makes pav town. by the same logic, it should. it doesn't matter that you wouldn't consider that to be a strong point - it's completely omitted from your view of the game.

and the issue is that the above is REALLY convenient if pav was moved to keep as the "obvscum" slot that was never getting voted.

In post 1282, imaginality wrote:I actually doubt Pav will flip town but, as I said, IF he does it's an additional point against VP (because of how it makes the D1 location set up a more obvious play compared to a sneakier pre-planned swap).
this part of the post specifically commits the sin i talked about last night. it's actively calling pav scum, and making the connection how a pav townflip makes vp looks worse... while at the same time still not acknowledging how pav looks better if vp is scum, which from his pov etc you know what i mean

i'm up until the game 1 resolution, which means 15 pages left for when i get home

can the peeps at the wall tell me what they think about this argument i've been putting forward last night and now, k thx

sooooo... is anyone gonna acknowledge ?

"baltar stuff" is:
- feeling fake
- being not +town (it's not said that it's "+scum", just that it's "not +town", so i'm guessing it's nai)
- dumbtell being nai

"imaginality stuff" is:
- him being a hypocrite in for accusing baltar for rushing the gate vote, while the first thing he did was vote (assuming this is +scum)

so, we have 1 scummy thing for each of them, and 2 extra nai things for baltar. how does he end up at:

it is happening very soon, yeah, before i go sleep today. my irl has gotten unexpectedly more busy and anxiety-inducing for the next week, and i don't have the energy to be kept up by this game until 4 am every night.

both vp's reads and emotional responses check out with what i know of town!him. if he's scum, i'm nothing but impressed.

imaginality didn't play bad as either alignment. what i called out about his reading of pav slot is very unlucky if he's town, but it just fits the scum mindset of sending pav on the keep to die.
