You previously said Nauci was "forced as fuck" and were voting her. Then she quotes one, yes ONE, post of mine she doesn't like, and votes me, and your response is to put me at L-2 with no hesitation? Did your read on Nauci change? Do you think she just decided to lolbus me cause Norway wants to play like he's some RVS god, even though I later linked a game where I opened the exact same way as town? It seems pretty dissonant to me!

I think it'd be more accurate to say I voted him my first post of the day. And, in the interest of challenging your survivalism, what would questions and pushes of "remarkable strength" look like to you? Beyond voting, I mean.

The purpose in pointing out the lack of strength in your peppered questions to popo throughout the game is not something I think is AI and makes you scummy. The reason I brought it up is because, as we look back over your interactions with popo, I can read them as if you're town and I can read them as if you're scum and they all make sense either way. It doesn't indicate anything to me about your alignment and I was hoping to go back and see that it pointed to some town vibes for you. 492, 544, 620, 681, 1502. Those interactions with popo which I was hoping would help steer us in a clearer direction regarding your alignment, do not do so. The only post that you have that even mildly suggests that you're not on a team with popo is 922. Your percentage breakdown of who you would like to lynch is objectively townie because it leaves no room to hide or ignore every player, which is definitely townie. And in 922 you've got popo pretty high up there. Scum could do this as well but it wasn't necessary for you to SR him that high up at that point and that's interesting.

I wasn't asking if you thought it was scummy, I was asking what 'questions' and 'pushes' of "remarkable strength" look like to you. Because I'm not sure you're not just saying things to make you look better.

I have

Up until you irritating me and this flash wagon, my expectation was always for Blair to vig Dunnstral. At this point now, though, I'd rather she kill one of the surviving cats.

Does anyone have any backstory on Truth? Is he a child (as in underage)? Is he ESL? None of what he's saying is making sense to me.

I explained why in the same post, Looker. NDMath was suspicious when he said that but my overall top suspicious read is Dunnstral, and I don't think Dunnstral and NDMath make sense because of the votes. I wonder if you feel like you have to suspect me now, especially if I'm actually right on it being you and Dunnstral.

My paranoid suspect read is Blair. If she's a mafia vigilante, we will keep trusting her and she can just get ignored of all suspicions, especially because she helped get po lynched. I think it might be a good strategy to buy trust for Blair if they are both mafia, but I will think about this more if she is still alive tomorrow.

You're saying that you read enough of the wiki to know that the meta is for millers to claim on day 1, but didn't catch that vigilante is an explicitly town role?

I generally don't think it's S-S cause I agree with you, it feels too over the top. I do think it's likely at least one of them is scum though. If I thought they were definitely buddies, I would have just stayed on Norway, the point of switching was to switch gears to pressure popopopopopopopopo while still feeling out what the game state looks like if Norway and myself is TvT after all.

Also, popoppopopopopop's vote, even if it was nothing but a sheep, was exactly where scum would be hopping on my wagon, so that was the main reason my read on him soured so much. I generally don't believe there's a case on me worthy of votes at this point, I've started playing and engaging with the game so the 'activity' tell is out and I've also already shown Norway's RVS reasoning doesn't hold up.

When I read Blair's 2000 I wasn't really getting it but when I went back and read this post there's a clear and very evident contradiction here. The first two statements that I highlighted seem to indicate that your goal was to use get killed by Mafia because the town would be better of if you were one of the early NK's since you are a weaker player. However, the last statement I highlighted seems to indicate that your goal by making the claim was actually to keep yourself alive longer.

Which was it? Did you want to make this supposed noble sacrifice? Or were you making a wild move out of self-preservation?

Whichever answer to that question is the true answer, then why did you make a conflicting statement?

Please answer all my questions, not just choose one question to answer and ignore all the others, like you did when I wrote a wall against you.

Blair · Post Post #2033 (ISO) » Tue Jul 07, 2020 9:15 am

"Get nightkilled" and "Don't get lynched" are not mutually exclusive.

"Get nightkilled by fake claiming" and "Fake claim something that gets lynched or vig'd often" are actual contradictions, however.

This is a really problematic paragraph here.

Why?

Because, as I pointed out in 2033, there wasn't actually a contradiction between "I want to be nightkilled" and "I don't want to be lynched."

At first I thought this was just one of many accidentally bad-faith arguments, but

the quoted paragraph here is actually evidence of you carefully, wilfully, deliberately stitching this misrepresentation together.

You went out of your way here to conflate "get nightkilled" > "noble sacrifice" and "not lynched" > "self preservation." It isn't difficult at all to understand how he wanted the Mafia to waste a night phase on him but did not want the town to waste a day phase on him. Whether or not we believe him is a separate matter, but you are deliberately gaslighting his position into a contradiction between "I want to live / I want to die" that doesn't actually exist in his post.

I think you know exactly what you did there and how misleading it would be.

I had to read that first line like 4 times to get it but now I see what you're saying. That makes more sense now. Okay, scratch my 2032 questions.

Your second line I'm still working on wrapping my head around. Miller gets killed frequently by town because it's sus to claim it to begin with, so why claim that if your goal is to get killed by scum? That makes sense.

Blair what are your thoughts on this? Truth is ridiculous but have a hard time seeing him as scum because of his relationship with popo. Do you bekievenhis miller mason claim or his relationship with po are AI?
"His relationship with Popo"? He was scumreading Popo but didn't help lynch him. How is that town indicative?

The Miller fake claim (we now know it was fake, that is an important data point) is objectively alignment indicative, yes. The only discernible motivation to lie about being a Miller is to avoid being investigated - something a Vanilla Townie would not be afraid of.

Also, I'm sorry, but I 100% do not buy that he signed up for this game, received a Vanilla Townie role, and then decided he was out of his depth and immediately (in his very first post!) lied about his role
to try to get himself nightkilled
. Way more likely that he just didn't want to get investigated.

I understand this argument. Here's where my breakdown comes in though.

Truth has played on a whole new level of noob in this game; one I've never seen before. It's incredible, actually. Therefore, the thought that someone who plays this poor, changes how I interpret a Miller Mason false claim that you say is objectively alignment indicative. Under normal circumstances with any other player in this game, yes, I would agree that it

is objectively

alignment indicative. However, because Truth, a player who has demonstrated a shocking lack of skill and aptitude to succeed as a strong player, is the one who made this false claim, we have to think about this fake claim through the lenses of how an unskilled noob would approach making a claim like that, not how an average-joe player would approach that strategy. That changes things up. Someone of Truth's...

caliber

seems unlikely of coming up with a Miller Mason claim as a self-preservation method as scum. That's a stretch in my mind. However, a noob coming up with that thought makes more sense if they're literally just scrolling through the wiki looking for ideas on how to live longer or play better. I'm not saying it was a good judgment call, but I could see how Truth's line of thinking that has been presented through the game makes sense with a town aligned noob role rather than a scum aligned noob role.

This is a comment for outside this game: Truth, I hope you don't take any of this on a personal level, by the way. I have been astounded by your play in this game and it

has

been very poor, but that's nothing personal against you, you just suck at playing this game and that's okay lol. You have made this game very different and interesting which has made it more fun, and while I do need to critically analyze your contributions and play with honesty, I do not want you to take away anything personal from my comments as that is not the intention.

When you read through this on a surface level, it can give out two messages. "I want to die," and "I don't want to die." That's what I took away from it and posted up my questions because it didn't make sense to me. 2033 helped me understand how the two can consistently coexist, but if you want to take it as me intentionally framing him up to look bad, I don't have a defense there except to say that I took back my questioning once I understood, and did so before you moved your vote onto me.

Because I am having a very hard time believing all of those "my buddies have since explained to me why this was bad" and other posts as just a VT talking to himself

I've tried to up my game this time a lot because in past games I have been voted off for playing poorly and because my scum hunting sucks. I read up on how to be a good scum hunter on the wiki and this is one of the main points that has stuck with me:

2. Don't lose sight.
Ignore other players' inquiries if their questions don't move you closer to lynching your target player. Take things further. Get an emotional reaction out of your victim by heavily accusing them of scum backed by whatever evidence you have.
It should be 50% evidence, 50% accusation.
You should make it clear to your suspect that you will never change your mind about them, and you will do anything to get them lynched, every day, every page, every damn post. This will work to your advantage. Keep the ball on your court, rob the scum of their dominance and place them in a frame of survival. This way, you are exploiting the maximum bussing potential of a scumteam.

This is something I've been working hard on in this game as I try to improve, and because of that, it's something that I've also been watching how others approach. It makes sense why it's pro-town -- it gets results, it creates content, it exposes vulnerabilities. Basically the essence is... push people hard. Use evidence and use accusation. I haven't seen much of the latter in your posts; and I'm not saying that that makes your posts poor quality. I enjoy reading your posts and I like how organized and systematized you are in writing them, and I think you are very observant and address important points. But I don't see many accusations and I don't see a lot of pushing. I just see a lot of poking around and digging, which, like I said, is good. But to my answer to your question: when I said I didn't see a lot of strength to your pushes, that's what I was talking about. Rather than push with accusations and using your vote with a case to sway others and form more pressure, it seemed that all the votes you've cast this game aren't accompanied by much of a case at all.

I decided to take a trip back through Truth's ISO now that he claims he lied about being a Miller Mason because he wanted to avoid being lynched and attract a night kill, and I'm really struggling with this post in particular:

I was actually okay with being lynched so that I could be confirmed, and it would confirm my buddies as masons. But they suggested against this idea.

He was okay with being lynched? This doesn't line up with his later explanation.

Initially I thought this post would never come from scum:

In post 502, Truth wrote:Should we quickly lynch popopopopopopopopo and go into night? I don't we'll get a better suspect than this and it may be good to go to the night without giving mafia any more information.

Until I realized there were only three votes on Popo at the time (one being Truth's) - this was not a credible threat. (Contrast this with later in the day, when Truth asked the same question about Osuka, who was at six votes).

This question to Popopo is conceivable to me as SvS as well:

In post 110, Truth wrote:I may have 1 buddy, I may have 2, I may have 3. Either way, I am going to use the plural form.

popo, why is it a bad idea to out if I'm just in a neighbourhood?

And let's not forget this post, where Truth speculates that I could be the Vigilante

long before my counterclaim.

In post 1743, Truth wrote:Because I am town, Blair! Please don't shoot me if you're the vigilante. Does my buddy really need to prove this to be the case?

Dunnstral's plan where we let the vigilante shoot po if he's lying seems like a good idea.

But who else should be lynch today instead? osuka and po were my main suspects.

I think Truth v Popo was a weak SvS bus all along.

Popopopopo stepped in to just briefly comment "we're not lynching the claim" while probably ranting at him in their PT seems reasonable to me because Truth had SO many posts taking about the others' views and based on his ability to interpret game state and mechanics, idk if he could spin all of that whole-cloth.

I've only got townreads by POE at this point, because I find it so hard to believe Truth could possibly be a VT that he must be scum, and then probably NDM is my next highest suspect.

My vote on Dunnstral gave me the reaction I wanted to see, because Dunnstral has been scum a hell of a lot and reacts mostly the same way when he is pushed to the brink of lynching, so he can be a slight town lean

In post 2039, Nauci wrote:Okay but can someone weigh in on my view that the sheer number of posts and the content they contained from Truth claiming what his "buddies" were saying to him are so numerous and sometimes even out of Truth's character that it is much easier for me to believe that his mafia buddies were ragging on him in their PT and Truth was pretending it was a mason PT

Because I am having a very hard time believing all of those "my buddies have since explained to me why this was bad" and other posts as just a VT talking to himself
