Right. I agree that the tone of his response is pretty towny, if not that he responded that way in itself.

The Transformer's behavior struck me very odd. The brave Lionheart had stepped up and voiced suspicion on Volxen, and Volxen chose to rather look at me and ask what *I* thought of it. I told him I'd much rather let him engage directly, but to my surprise, he... Began to nap again!


Volxen, I notice you're active elsewhere on site, and you seem to be ignoring Lionheart's case -- your last post simply dismissing it and diving into wagon analysis spec. I get the feeling you're waiting for something more significant to happen.

Scumlean.

Yeah the volx reaction to my case is only making me more confident in my read.

In post 62, lionheart1492 wrote:Volxen's long-winded paragraph in #51 where he mentions that auro played rvs similarly in a previous scum game but then also mentions that he doesn't really know auro's meta having only played the one game together bugs me a lot. He's going back and forth on whether or not he wants to go after auro for a weak (at best) meta read. Also, he backs up this meta read with some mudslinging about how auro is really good at being mafia and we need to be afraid of him! I understand we're barely out of rvs so it's hard to have much but why bother with all of the mudslinging and wishy-washiness?
UNVOTE: Yuriko_Jasmine
VOTE: Volxen

Feels like the posts between auro and lamees are auro reaction testing and getting nothing. I didn't get anything from it either really.

Yuriko popping in to be like "why lamees" still has me unhappy but not worth a vote when I feel the way I do about volxen's post. To elaborate on why I find it suspicious though, in effect Yuriko sees auro attempting to make discussion happen very early in the game and tries to poke holes in it in a very non-committal way. This is especially bad because it happened so early. If at the time we had several active players and lots of content auro going for a specific person's vote could be scummy depending on the situation. At the very beginning of the game with less than half of the game posting he's clearly just messing around seeing what will happen and yuriko's post sets her up to either say "ha I knew that was scummy!" or "yeah that wasn't a big deal."
I was not "mudslinging" at Auro, I was merely stating the fact that sorting his slot is something that I am going to prioritize, because I have firsthand experience with his scumgame. That is not the same as me automatically coming to the conclusion that he is scum based on our past game together. I will be evaluating him based on what he does in this game.

My vote for Auro itself was to see how he would react, just as he voted for me to see how I would react. In our back-and-forth conversation, we both admitted as much. You seem to be suggesting that I am trying to push a case against scum!Auro based on our previous game together, which is not the case. He is still a nullread for me at the moment.

Also, I think you really overreacted to Yuriko's "Why Lamees" question to Auro. I believe she literally was just asking, "Why are you asking Lamees specifically to vote for Volxen?". I did not at all read that as her trying to stifle discussion or discourage Auro from trying to get people to vote for me. I think she was just genuinely curious why Auro asked Lamees specifically (as opposed to someone else) to vote for me.

I asked you about this because I would like to know your thoughts on Lion's case, and the back-and-forth that has now started between us. I still would like you respond to this, as it will help me to read your slot.

I don't think I'd want to hijack an exchange that barely started just to help you form a read on me, at this point. My own thoughts on his case wouldn't be different depending on my own alignment, though, so I'm not quite sure how you were intending to read off that.

I'll give my views at a later point.

Usually I'd only do this when I feel a case is very weak/flawed. If there are elements I agree with, I think it's better to let the exchange happen first.

So I did clarify that a better word would be fearmongering and this was one of the reasons. Broadcasting to the entire game that Auro is good at being mafia and deserves special attention would qualify as fearmongering. I consider fearmongering very scummy. Especially when, as you say yourself, you're nullreading the person in question.

The Yuriko post is definitely not a strong point but it's something that I found scummy so I brought it up.

November 18, 2018 - 7:50 AM (GMT)

Day 1


It appeared that not everyone was too eager to debate the artificiality of volxen's
intelligence. Some, like white candy, found the discussion mindnumbingly boring. So
exceedingly dreary that she inadvertently found herself asleep on the couch — an
activity that unfortunately for her was banned during the day.

As if by command, the giant death robot materialised itself at the door and tiptoed to
white candy's couch, snatched her and carried her away before anyone was the wiser,
least of all her.

Meanwhile the dispute raged on and little progress was made either way.

lionheart1492:
I believe volxen is trying to instil paranoia about Auro's roboticisity to in order to
conceal his own mechanical arse.
Lamees:
Nuh-uh. Not_Mafia is the robot. I don't like his face.
Auro (facepalming):
That's not really eviden—
Ariane:
Whoa. Robots. Cooooool.

Eyes darted in Ariane's general direction. No one had even noticed when the giant
death robot swapped white candy with her. A second later, the same eyes darted back
to their original positions. Having exhausted their supply of spare fucks, none remained
for snowbeast who had just announced that he really,
really
had to take this super
important call and his opinion would be absent for a few hours.

With 9 alive it takes 5 to lynch.


Deadline for Day 1 actions:

November 24, 2018 - 6:50 AM (GMT)
You have (expired on 2018-11-24 06:50:00) to discuss and decide on a lynch.

Yuriko why are you still self voting?
Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

The Yuriko post is definitely not a strong point but it's something that I found scummy so I brought it up.
And why automatically jump to the conclusion that it was “fearmongering” to paint Auro in a negative light? All I said was that I, personally, would likely have a hard time accurately reading Auro based on our past experience together. I was not suggesting that everyone else would have a hard time reading him, nor was I saying that I would be making a decision on his slot based on our past game together. If I had said something along the lines of “Auro had a really good scum game in our last game together, and he is probably scum here again”, THAT would be fearmongering, because I would be using his past scum game to argue that he is likely scum again in this game, which is not a reasonable argument since him being scum in a previous game does not increase his chances of being scum again in this game.

But that’s not what happened. All I had was a one-on-one exchange with Auro where I commented that I would probably have a hard time reading his slot. Auro didn’t have a problem with me saying that and understood where I was coming from. As far as I can tell, no one else took issue with it either. You are the only person to come out and label it first “mudslinging”, and now “fearmongering”. I think you are overreacting to this, just like you overreacted to Yuriko’s “Why Lamees?” question. And I think it’s fair to say that some people are harder to read than others. So why couldn’t this be town!me publicly commenting that Auro will probably be one of the harder players for me to read, which was then followed by me engaging him to try to get a better read on his slot?

You wouldn’t be hijacking it, though. You can still comment on Lion’s case and the exchange between Lion and I while it is ongoing. You joining in on the conversation won’t get in the way of Lion and I having our back-and-forth.

And I’m going to have completely disagree with the notion that how you might respond to the exchange between Lion and I would not be alignment indicative, or that you would respond to his case in the exact same way regardless of your alignment. For example, if you are town, then you aren’t 100% certain of either Lion’s alignment or my alignment, so you have to evaluate both of our arguments on their merits to help you develop reads on both of our slots. On the other hand, if you are scum and Lion and I are both town, and our exchange is TvT, then you already know both of our alignments and you could choose to side against whichever one of us you think would be an easier mislynch (as just an example). So why would you say that your response to Lion’s case would be exactly the same regardless of your alignment? I do think how you respond to the exchange between Lion and I is definitely something that would be readable and potentially alignment indicative as well.

Okay, take it from me - Not_Mafia does this every game. Your scumread on him for his ISO on this game alone is *wrong*.

Apart from a weak early jab at Flavor, you're just comfortably settling into a tunnel based on an incorrect meta-ignorant read, no?

Volxen,

I'd evaluate both sides eventually anyway. You asked me at a point where he made a case on you, and you hadn't even responded to him yet.

That logic would apply to any exchange in the game, not just yours. I personally think that sometimes, taking a step back and observing how a slot defends itself -- rather than jumping into the attack and providing an early judgment of the merits and demerits of the case -- is more beneficial for forming my reads, and for town as well. Do you agree?

Sure. Unless I have a set agenda in mind, optimal scumplay for me would be to offer my thoughts as though it's from town!me. In our last game, I do remember saying I disagreed with Trendall's anti-stat philosophies, while also voting for you.

Of course that's for town to judge, IMO there'd be a lot more content off me to make reads than my own early thoughts on someone's case to read me upon.

I was "siding" with him in a sense and pushing you anyway independent of the case, if you noticed :P

Yeah, still monitoring the auro/volxen exchange.

I am leaning it's TvS, not sure who is which yet. It could be TvT, really doubt it's SvS
