eh, I tend to shadethrow with sarcasm a lot. I'll do a full case on Jam in a few hours I think, but I'll make a quick response here. 164 and 165 have reasoning that comes off as thought-out and sincere, like he's putting in the effort to make his reasoning very clear. As someone usually too lazy to do that unless I'm being pushed, I respect that, and tr it. Again, the difference with Jam is tone. I'm not good at explaining it in words, so I kinda have to just tell you to read both of their isos, and hope that you see what I do. As I said, iso deep dives on content as well as tone incoming in a few hours unless rl gets in the way.In post 194, Geyde wrote:

I like Geyde's point in 156
NMSA's reasoning behind jamelia's tone being wrong felt kind of forced and it's something I could imagine scum!Draynth saying
NMSA is also lurking a worrying amount (albeit he's not alone in that)
Also Draynth: spam is lurking early d1, mumst be scum.
anyone who's played with me can tell you I do this every game.
I do like veggie's reasoning in 164 and 165.
Also, everyone keeps referring to the exclamation point thing, which I said in the post was not entirely accurate. It's not just the number of exclamation points, but the entire tone of the posts. Veggie's posts come across as much more sincere. That's why I'm voting Jam.
I really don't like this response by Spam here.
They mainly shadethrow their accusers while also setting up a push onto Jam without a lot of the thought process I'd expect of town being pushed.
They notably omit:
- Any analysis of 164 and 165
- Any showing of the difference between Veggie's posts and Jam's posts
Their response therefore sounds more like panicked scum trying to get ground back rather than someone seriously trying to analyze players and their motivations.ShowTown: 6-5
Scum: 2-1
3p: 0-1

Some commentary that I wanted to share:
Did a brief ISO-dive on Geyde after seeing this post. Agree with faüstiv here that Geyde does come across as confident and definitive in a lot of their posts, but disagree that they should be scum-read because of it. The reason I think this is related to Geyde's recent vote for Spam. Bringing Spam's vote count to 2 seems more like town-play to me given that the only previous vote for Spam occurred during the RVS (on page 1 of the thread). It's not as if Geyde is trying to jump on a bandwagon, purely because of the length of time in between Spam's vote count increasing.In post 201, faüstiv wrote:His two non RVS votes were on wagons which were/are gaining momentum. I don't think either vote is genuine. I also believe that a lot of his analysis is made up and something not coming from a member of town. I don't think town would be so confident in their analysis so early on in the game.
This is a good point. However I'm coming from the perspective that if Spangled was scum, they may hav been trying to pocket. Especially because around the time that they were doing it, there was a bit of suspicion on them floating around.In post 180, Jamelia wrote:
I thought it was bizarre for the reasons you posted. However, I think that if Spangled was trying to intigrate, wouldn’t they have town reads on more people, not just you?In post 179, UrVeggieM8 wrote:Spoiler:
I've counted three defences from Spangled toward me right now and thought I would post this so that opinions can be formed. This is what I thought ingratiating with another player might look like, given that all these statements appear to be based on Spangled's opinion (as opposed to them being based on my post history or contradictory statements I've made). I get the feeling there might be players who have noticed this pattern already and think that Spangled's reasons for defending me are shaky at best.
I would argue that lack of action is action in itself, so consider that there is at least some basis to read faüstiv on. Probably not enough to get a really comprehensive read though and I get the feeling that this might be what Geyde is aiming for.In post 191, Geyde wrote:
I do not think that Faustiv is readable at this point of the game, which is why I'm not trying to read them.In post 165, UrVeggieM8 wrote:Spoiler:
I've gathered from these posts that Geyde and Jam are both reluctant to put a vote on faüstiv because they’re waiting for an opportunity to analyse a response/vote. Judging by the way that faüstiv has posted over the last 7 pages (mainly asking why they’re under suspicion with a one-sentence read on Spangled thrown in), I don’t think this is likely to happen anytime soon!
I am wondering if this might be because Geyde and Jam are a scum-team and would like to keep a player like faüstiv alive for a few more rounds as they’d be an easy mislynch for town?
While following that line I've thought, UNVOTE: faüstiv for now.
I think it's interesting how Spam voted non-RVS for Jam way back on page 3 and has not changed votes since. I definitely agree with the bolded parts, but it's not as if Spam's only trying to push Jam's wagon recently. Though there is suspicion for Jam floating around the thread as of late, the vote counts as off 189 are still quite different, L-2 for Spam vs L-4 for Jam.In post 195, Geyde wrote:I'd expect town that's being pushed to try to clarify the viewpoint they are being pushed for as much as possible.
Instead,Spam supports posts that could support a push on Jam, one of the only valid counterwagons at this point in the game.
His 'clarification' doesn't have any analysis to it whatsoever.
Why are Veg's posts so much more sincere?
I've quoted the ones in question and I don't see that from what they've posted in the past
Sure, recent Veg is really good.
But Past Veg left nothing to the imagination whatsoever in a crafted way. (38, 44, 46)- Spangled

I was very concerned about these quotes too, but not for the reasons you posted. I don’t know if they’re scummy or just non-helpful town. I think this might be a case of “trying to be right” versus “trying to find scum”.In post 204, Spangled wrote:In post 15, Airan303 wrote:I’m not accusing anyone, but spam seemed eager to Lynch veggie, after someone had already voted to lynch veggie.In post 24, Airan303 wrote:I find it scummy because instead of voting for anyone else to check reactions, he voted for someone who had already been voted for.

What do you mean by Geyde’s analysis being “made up”? Are you saying that the things they are saying just aren’t true, or you do you just not agree?In post 201, faüstiv wrote:His two non RVS votes were on wagons which were/are gaining momentum.

Do you disagree that those thoughts were thrown out without reasons backing them up, and with conciliation? Do you disagree that they went back on said reason-less, sheepy thoughtsin the same postsas they express them?
Or do you think that those behaviours aren't scummy?- Jamelia

@Spangled, I agree with your analysis of the context but I don’t agree with those posts automatically making Aidan scum. This honestly has to do with me still understanding the meta and how new players act when they are town/scum, but I just don’t see how those posts directly equals someone being a “newb” scum vs like, an experienced scum.
Could you explain that to me?- Jamelia

For me:
I believe that the difference between Faustiv’s & Aidan’s posts are that at least Aidan is trying to create a case and do analysis without being accused of being scum (before you voted for them). Whereas Faustiv was passive and not fully explaining things until there was a wagon on them and a push from us to get them to analyze.- Errantparabola

Before this moment, I hadn’t realised that I’ve actually had experience in the newbie queue that can help me in other games. I’m afraid that this may well go to my head
But as to Airan — they’re not automatically scum, but I think that they are likely to be scum far above rand. So... in my experience, newbies have many different tones, but I think the most easily discernible is ‘my first game is a scum game’. Because forum mafia is an entirely new experience to many, you get thrown into the deep end on your first game — especially those who roll scum.
And the core of sorting people in mafia is really looking at the worldviews behind people’s posts — scum’s job (and thus worldview) is starkly different to town; their main priority is to stay alive, not drawing attention to themselves. This is especially apparent when you haven’t played any towngames; in a scumgame after you’ve played town, your main job is to mimic the style of your towngames.
But in a scumgame with no previous experience, you can’t do that, and don’t have any experience solving, sorting, etc. — the classic town behaviours. And so they don’t do them — where less-newb-scum might at least try to solve and sort and ‘be townie’ generally, true newbscum literally cannot do this; they don’t know how.
So you lay low; you try not to draw attention to yourself — or offend anyone. Thus, the conciliatory and just-made-accusation-withdrawing nature of their posts — they want to do what everyone else is doing that others are calling townie — air opinions, really — but without making anyone look twice at them.
This is what Airan is doing.
And I don’t think Airan is actually analysing anything; they’re agreeing with other things and giving irrelevant opinions — ‘oh, they probably RVS voted you because you are (through no fault of your own) a lurker’. There’s no analysis there.
If this wall — this absolute dissertation on first-game-scum — above does not convince you — which I’m sorry for, by the way, but once the steam train got going there was no stopping it — I’m afraid you’ll have to take my word for it as someone who randed their first game as scum.
Of course, if Airan’s next few posts make them obvtown, or all of the SEs disagree vehemently with this case, or Airan flips green, I reserve the right to say that I was actually talking of hypotheticals- faüstiv

So we’re at a L-2 on Aidan with Faustiv/Spam jumping on this rather quickly. Just an FYI before people continue voting.
I’d like to hear what Aidan has to say before we get to a L-1. I agree with what you’re saying but I don’t feel as strong of a scum read on Aidan as I do Faustiv at the moment. Especially after Faustiv switching his vote onto Aidan and then automatically talking about “oh I could have jumped on the other bandwagons but I jumped on THIS one, which is not scummy.”
With that being said I’d be fine with an Aidan lynch if his response is inadequate.Copyright © MafiaScum. All rights reserved.
