I like this. Don’t know who you’re even talking about based on skimming backwards, but slight lean town here.In post 124, xx2008 wrote:I don’t like to put too much pressure on a lurky player because they could be either alignment and simply not put that much time into this game.

Fair assessment. I don’t necessarily have this feeling on the slot, but I’m definitely not town reading it either.In post 125, xx2008 wrote:My take on dojaj is partially a gut feeling based on his tone, but his hmmmmm posts don’t really help with the game, and his read on LCpl Jones seems scummy and is not really backed with sufficient evidence.
It’s page 6, i don’t really know what they could have said, so if it seems forced, that might be true, but do you think that a townie person wouldn’t have a forced read at this time in the game?CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

Basically, he seems to be sort of pushing a few leads to see if he can get any reaction or extract any information. I can see that as being indicative of town in this stage of rvs / livs but I'd expect better scumhunting later in the game.In post 122, Korina wrote:[
Do you care to explain why that's townie to you?
I don't really see it as townie, however, I'm struggling to get into words why I exactly find it scummy
However, and make that a however with capital h, o, w, e, v, e, and r, dojaj's actions seem to me more like someone whos trying to appear to be there but not actually doing anything much to contribute apart from some minor pushing of xx and myself. Hmmm posts contribute exactly... nothing to the game! At best they indicate he has read it and is thinking about it which is good. But I'd expect to see more reasoning behind his arguments, not rather vague pushes. This is more like scum trying to appear to be scumhunting than town actually trying to scumhunt in RVS / LIVS [1]
I alsoreallydon't like where he says 'I know I appear scummy'. To me this is a massive scumtell. Up to this point I hadn't really considered him to be scummy as such, but with everything else, this to me indicates that he is nervous, and that he is being overly defensive to... a single solitary scumread. That infers that he has something to be nervous about - i.e. to me he acts very like a newbie scum. I'm not really explaining this properly, but plesse bear with me, I haven't slept in about 19 hours and I'm dead beat.
And finally, I am a bit concerned that he is not answering Korina's questions in #122. I'd really like to see his answers there.
So all that being said:
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Dojaj

Pushing an inactive in a newbie game has to be some kind of booby prize winning idea. Scum has more incentive to be active than town does. Activity is NAI until it is, and when it is we will know it. This is a bad push and you should feel bad for it.In post 118, Lamees wrote:VOTE: kaldridge1025

You jumping on the wagon like this is pretty bad too. Not like bad town though, like scum bad. Also the fact that you skipped over a post directed at you by me is bad form and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Why ignore my question and jump on a flimsy wagon? Scum much?In post 119, acrimoniusalpaca wrote:Agreeing with Lamees, I feel that it is in Town's benefit to lynch silent lurking players. If they are town, they are not doing any good for the town. If they are mafia, then it is good for the town. So I'm voting

See thing is we here are scum hunters. If you look like scum then we will case you and you will hang. Next game you wont do that again and you will learn from your mistakes.In post 126, dojaj wrote:I’m just a noob don’t get too excited x) I actually agree that I seem scummy cuz I’m bad at this but I really am pure noob

Why are you reading town on me? I don’t recall doing anything townie.

I explained that it isn't just the lack of activity. It's that, plus immediately responded when was called, could be lurking/hiding while actually here. I am reading scum because my thinking is that one strategy of a newish scum player could be to just lurk for the first few days and get town to thin themselves out. This avoids the player making a scum slip etc.In post 131, Formerfish wrote:

How can you even say pushing an inactive in a newbie game is a bad idea, then at the same time say scum has more incentive to be active? Contradicting.- Lamees

With 6 townies in the game and only 2 mafia in the game, I tend to think most are town, until they do something suspicious.In post 135, Flavor Leaf wrote:

Because I don’t really know what to say and I’m inconsistent which I can see. I still won’t unvote Jones yet because his posts are super long and I always think extra effort or precision is suspicious makes you stand out rather than blend inIn post 134, Formerfish wrote:

A few quick thoughts from me before I get to work on school stuff for the day:
Alright, right off the bat, this doesn't really answer my own questions. This feels like a weak effort to try to side-step them, while trying to seem like you have an answer, when, you really don't.In post 123, dojaj wrote:Idk guys I really still can’t tell anyone’s intentions I’m wondering if it’s Jones regular play or f my initial method of him being super nice is a revrse psychology method hmmm who knows. And the contradiction is cuz I understood his point of view. I just tend to be diplomatic anyways I still feel suspicious about jones so I’ll wait it out a day or two more
Second, the entire "hmm, who knows" thing doesn't really sit right with me. It doesn't seem really... productive. It just feels like noise.
I'm gonna be honest here for a moment: This post from xx actually feels townie to me. My case on Dojaj currently is that he doesn't really seem to be trying to help out a whole lot, he seems to be more content with letting us play the game while he just tries to look productive the entire game.In post 125, xx2008 wrote:My take on dojaj is partially a gut feeling based on his tone, but his hmmmmm posts don’t really help with the game, and his read on LCpl Jones seems scummy and is not really backed with sufficient evidence.
I certainly do agree with this post over-all.
Care to explain your TR (Town Read) on everyone else? Quickly did some ISO skimming and didn't really see anything from everyone that'd prompt a TR. The only people I really kinda got anything TR-able from was FF, LCPL and xx.In post 129, Lamees wrote:I am reading town on everyone so far. Besides null on korina and dojaj. And scum on kaldridge (1 post in over 4 days, and the post was right after the mod stepped in, definitely lurking trying to hide something)
I really like this entire post, and I actually do agree with it. I really feel like all the points that LCPL did bring up are actually very true, and very right.In post 130, LCpl Jones wrote:

So all that being said:
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Dojaj
=======
[1] LIVS = Low Info Voting Stage
I do also agree that Dojaj's "hmm" posts do very little to help the game, and make it look like he's there but really he isn't in the first place.
Alright, here's my thing about long posts: If a player makes a long post, that makes them stand out more.In post 141, dojaj wrote:

Why do you think you look scummy here?
Scum never want to be standing out, because that means people are watching them. If they screw up, everyone's watching and they then see that they screwed up. Now, does that meanallscum will try to blend in? No, but a good portion of them will try to.
Extra effort or precision helps show others what their alignment is based on what they're saying. If they seem like they're trying to push an agenda in their wall posts, they're scum. Why would Town want to push an agenda in the first place?
Short posts on the other-hand, help players blend in, and doesn't reveal a whole lot about their intentions and motives. The more walls (long posts) a player makes in general, the easier it becomes to tell what their goal is, only because they've said so much more.
In general, extra effort or precision isn't scummy only because it makes them stand out more. Scum don't wanna stand out, they wanna blend in.
You skipped over my questions.In post 143, dojaj wrote:Sorry I didn’t notice you quoted me anywhere except the last one I replied to? Did you??
