https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... 9#p7787619Lynching/wagoning you is far too troublesome so i'd take the easy route; sheep you and then buddy you for a bit
OK. Since town either today or tomorrow seems to want to wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory, we will do one more push. Ultimately I cannot make you guys win. It's really up to you.
But let's just do full meta breakdown of GR.
Let's look at a data bracket of:
Spoiler:
So let's begin with a few basic observations.
First,GR clearly has an inverted meta. What I mean by this is that GR's involvement is the opposite of that of a player like Creature. She tries very hard as scum, but as town she very often gets bored and replaces out. Now, in fairness, this level of GR involvement is something new regardless. But the first point to establish here is that you should NOT take high activity GR as being town indicative. Even if GR has replaced in after hundreds of posts have already been put out, GR will still be in the top posters for a game as scum. Whereas, GR hardly ever is in the top posters as town.
Partly this is becauseas scum GR puts on active town theater.
Let's consider how GR constructs a list as a TPR
Spoiler:
as TPR, GR constructs a list, indicates who is town and who is scum just going down. While there are "potential scum" there's really only town, scum and potential town. But of course she plays a lot of games, this isn't the only way she makes a list.
Spoiler:
Here we have a VT GR read list. How is this different than the TPR list? Well, there's a simple explanation for each read. This is because GR knows that if her pushes are going to have merit there needs to be an explanation behind her reasoning. And she needs weight behind her pushes because she needs to find scum as town.
Now, what does GR do with lists as scum?
Spoiler:
Well what's the first thing you notice here? Well, there's more than one list! This is what I mean by active!town theater. GR is constantly throwing out full read lists as scum, making small edits, because she wants to showcase just how much she is trying to sort and her entire view of the game state.
Spoiler:
What the fuck are we even looking at here? Look at how many full read lists with very little variation and only a few explanations are given here. None of these read lists are really developing her push in a significant way. But they all give the IMPRESSION she is trying to sort. It is CONSTANT revision of a full reads list that is pure theater.
"OK" you're saying, "GR gives a lot of read lists early in the game. That's not that scummy right?"
But that's just part of it, GR is constantly dropping little 'seeming pro-town' actions, like:
Mod/deadline extensions:
Scum game:
This game:@mod do we get a deadline extension?
As scum, GR does more: "Hey look at me guys I'm online, who wants to talk?"In post 3257, Golden Robster wrote:@mod can we get an extension on the deadline since we need two replacements, not just one
Spoiler:
What does she do in this game?
Spoiler:
Scum GR LOVES Active Town Theater, and it is something that is largely scum indicative for her.vote conspiracy-

Now let's talk about vote progression:
Here is a VT unvote --UNVOTE: Pisskop
And then GR revotes a while after reassessing. It does happen.
I emphasize that there are exceptions to the rule here, but I want to say that they 'prove the rule.'
Here is what you will usually see from GR:

VOTE: Maxous
You really think an RVS wagon would transition into a full scale lynch.
As you can see, in the general pattern, GR either votes, or unvotes and IMMEDIATELY votes another player. This is because GR's TOWN philosophy is to APPLY PRESSURE WITH VOTES. She applies pressure with votes to get content and solidify her read. She puts pressure on slots because she wants to lynch scum.
Now, let's compare to GR's voting pattern in this game:

VOTE: VaxkillerIn post 2078, Golden Robster wrote:VOTE: Hopkirk
what would you say if I said I had a guilty on your slotThis is not how Town!GR plays mafia. This is how Scum!GR plays mafia. Scum!GR does unvote, pause, vote, because Scum!GR wants to play up her active!town theater and also get the impact of 'unvoting' on a player. Oh, I thought you were scum, but BECAUSE I AM THINKING ABOUT THE GAME, I have changed my mind! Power scum like GR LOVE the emphasis on how much THOUGHT she is putting into the game. But this is actually a scum tell, because town!GR doesn't care if people think she is thinking about the game, she just tries to lynch scum.
This is why GR has so many hundreds of posts in this game. Because EVERY TIME she decides that town!GR has had a thought, she makes a post. Because she has to prove to town JUST HOW MUCH she is thinking about the game.
It is fake. She is scum. She must be lynched.vote conspiracy-

When GR does not like a question, or does not like a slot's reaction, she votes the slot.
But GR doesn't do this for texcat.

Let's go back to our observation from earlier:
What the fuck? GR goes from "texcat is a potential lynch" and "texcat is not producing content" to "unvote JJD" to "vote Vax" -- WHY?In post 602, Golden Robster wrote:

And here's where you can see the active!town theater leads into a play strategy. Texcat is ALWAYS SCUMMY, but never the lynch in GR's early game. She can ALWAYS BUS LATER, but she doesn't want texcat lynched today. THIS IS HOW GR PLAYS SCUMIn post 936, Golden Robster wrote:Town:

Ah, but the question isn't WHY is texcat town. The question is WHEN is texcat town. Texcat becomes town in GR's reads WHEN WAGONS DEVELOP ON HER.
But GR continues to poke questions at texcat, but never puts a vote on it. Why is there no vote on texcat after THIS question?In post 5916, Golden Robster wrote:

the fact that she doesn't look like she gives a shit means that she's either pro scum (which I 100% doubt) or town that doesn't care (which I believe right now)
This is bullshit and completely at odds with how GR approaches scumhunting as town.In post 6100, Golden Robster wrote:texcat had a flash wagon on her brought down to L-2 and she did nothing to defend herself; how is that survivalistic?
hard lurking isn't alingment indicative so don't give me that shit; you didn't wagon mylo or vax for that
Sky has already made a big part of this case. Sky has already observed--GR's progression on Texcat makes ZERO sense. I want to re-emphasize that not only is GR's progression on texcat totally illogical but it is also TOTALLY at odds with how town!GR plays mafia.
This is scum voting a counter-wagon on town to protect a buddy that she spent the first half of this game calling scum, randomly switched to town, and then INDIRECTLY defended by pushing counter-wagons while she was being run up.

So let's review:
What evidence is there that GR is town?
None.
-We already know scum committed to bussing Wheme, and GR joined on Wheme after the wagon was already fully formed.
-GR did NOT bus texcat but used WIFOM to argue that she wouldn't
-GR was put into a position where she has to crossbus after the texcat vote because the masons and townblock had grown too large
Where is the evidence that GR is scum?
Everywhere.
-GR Is constantly playing up scumhunting theater while rarely developing reads into sustained arguments and rarely getting wagon support for her pushes. Remember, when she is town, she pushes to get people to join her wagons and sheep her vote.
-She goes out of her way to foreground 'active town play' with little barrages of small posts
-She is constantly unvoting and revoting, always playing up her decision making process rather than emphasizing the pressure she's putting on wagons
-She is constantly tweaking her own little lists to play up her appearance of sorting while never actually committing to half her reads
-Her development on texcat is totally incoherent and her counter-push on Scion was inconceivable for a town!GR
-Texcat's interactions with her are forced and very puffery, and always include an additional response to JJD because texcat doesn't trust herself to only respond to a scumbuddy
-Gamma's interactions with her are incredibly fake and totally at odds with how both vote
-She has unloaded a massive wave of AtE and why-meisms as soon as she was under pressure which is TOTALLY consistent with how she plays scum when she's under pressurevote conspiracy-

Anyway, I'm sure Ank will spam like 5000 fucking little response so this gets pushed back to an earlier page by the time anyone logs on, but GR is basically playing her scum game to a T and she absolutely should get lynched today. I know Ank will throw nonstop shade at me while quoting herself or something and saying the word "gamestate read" three times a post, and then GR will come in and say I'm tunneling because that is literally the only rebuttal GR has ever offered. But I do at some point need some mixture of TBG, Creature, Mylo, and Sky to actually lynch GR if we are going to win this game.vote conspiracy-

This inverted meta argument points to me being town (even though meta is awful); my involvement is based on my emotional investment into the game; if I'm doing great in a game I'll be more invested to actually post content vs. not being great and not doing anythingIn post 7426, Krazy wrote:First, GR clearly has an inverted meta.

this is factually wrong and slightly offensivebut as town she very often gets bored and replaces out
which derails everything you've just said about in terms of meta; tell me what year those games were in and tell me the date nowNow, in fairness, this level of GR involvement is something new regardless
factually wrong again; the two scum games I were in the first one I won because I lived to endgame so it makes sense that I was top posterEven if GR has replaced in after hundreds of posts have already been put out, GR will still be in the top posters for a game as scum. Whereas, GR hardly ever is in the top posters as town.

lab rat mafia that I finished recently; these reads are literally the same as the ones I post here which point to me being town krazyHere we have a VT GR read list. How is this different than the TPR list? Well, there's a simple explanation for each read. This is because GR knows that if her pushes are going to have merit there needs to be an explanation behind her reasoning. And she needs weight behind her pushes because she needs to find scum as town.
Now, what does GR do with lists as scum?
