I've tried to use similar methods to you and feel like I ended up way off

I guess you can try your methods on the game I tried on and see what results you get, and if they match mine then I somehow lucked into your method?
is that a thing you're willing to try?
Sure.

But you'll need to give me the flips, any modconfirmed townies (i.e. cop clears) known at the time you did the flip. I usually get those things from post 1, but that would spoil the results.

That'll happen tomorrow most likely though barring a sudden miracle as my case got pushed to the back end of my calendar and I have two actual VCAs to do here.

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=84286 this is the game thread
I did the VCA during N4, the flips up through then were georgebailey, bingle, and fun & games as town, and lavar + flavor leaf as scum, with one scum left alive. For mech clears there was me, creativemod1, and dkkoba (unique setup mechanics indicated that we were town).
We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

I’m not Scum and I really don’t care how much Titus wants to hug their vote count analysis. I’m unfortunately the target of this nonsense so there’s not much I’m going to say that’s going to affect how people behave, but I can answer whatever anyone wants to ask me. I’ve been quite transparent about my views and my analysis and the flip and NK don’t change how I’m looking at the game.

You wouldn't like it if I claimed to the tee.

You can't lie to me, woman. :lol:

Speaking of fabricating role claims, well it seems almost out of character for you not to claim... doesn't it?

band, bond
in the sense "force that unites, bond, tie" (late 14c.). Also compare Old Norse
band
"cord that binds; act of binding," also "confederacy."

The extension to "group of musicians" is c. 1660, originally musicians attached to a regiment of the army and playing instruments which may be used while marching. To
beat the band
(1897) is to make enough noise to drown it out, hence to exceed everything.
One-man band

take place
"happen, come to pass, be accomplished" (mid-15c., earlier
have place
, late 14c.), translates French
avoir lieu
. To
know (one's) place
"know how to behave in a manner befitting one's rank, situation, etc." is from c. 1600, from the "social status" sense; hence the figurative expression
put (someone) in his or her place
(1855). In i

, etc., it has the sense of "point or degree in order of proceeding" (1630s).
Out of place
"not properly adjusted or placed in relation to other things" is by 1520s.
All over the place
"in disorder" is attested from 1923.

time (n.)


Old English
tima
"limited space of time," from Proto-Germanic
*timon-
"time" (source also of Old Norse
timi
"time, proper time," Swedish
timme
"an hour"), from PIE
*di-mon-
, suffixed form of root "to divide."

Abstract sense of "time as an indefinite continuous duration" is recorded from late 14c. Personified at least since 1509 as an aged bald man (but with a forelock) carrying a scythe and an hour-glass. In English, a single word encompasses time as "extent" and "point" (French
temps/fois
, German
zeit/mal
) as well as "hour" (as in "what time is it?" compare French
heure
, German
Uhr
). Extended senses such as "occasion," "the right time," "leisure," or
times (v.)
"multiplied by" developed in Old and Middle English, probably as a natural outgrowth of such phrases as "He commends her a hundred times to God" (Old French
La comande a Deu cent foiz
).
to have a good time
( = a time of enjoyment) was common in Eng. from c 1520 to c 1688; it was app. retained in America, whence readopted in Britain in 19th c. [OED]
Time of day
(now mainly preserved in negation, i.e. what someone won't give you if he doesn't like you) was a popular 17c. salutation (as in "Good time of day vnto your Royall Grace," "Richard III," I.iii.18), hence
to give (one) the time of day
"greet socially" (1590s); earlier was
give good day
(mid-14c.).
The times "
the current age" is from 1590s.
Behind the times
"old-fashioned" is recorded from 1831.
Times
as the name of a newspaper dates from 1788.

Time warp
first attested 1954;
time-traveling
in the science fiction sense first recorded 1895 in H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."
Time capsule
first recorded 1938, in reference to the one "deemed capable of resisting the effects of time for five thousand years preserving an account of universal achievements embedded in the grounds of the New York World's fair."
Jones [archaeologist of A.D. 5139] potters about for a while in the region which we have come to regard as New York, finds countless ruins, but little of interest to the historian except a calcified direction sheet to something called a "Time Capsule." Jones finds the capsule but cannot open it, and decides, after considerable prying at the lid, that it is merely evidence of an archaic tribal ceremony called a "publicity gag" of which he has already found many examples. [Princeton Alumni Weekly, April 14, 1939]

To do time
"serve a prison sentence" is from 1865.
Time frame
is attested by 1964;
time-limit
is from 1880.
About time
, ironically for "long past due time," is recorded from 1920. To
be on time
is by 1854 in railroading.

Meaning "inhabited place larger than a village" (mid-12c.) arose after the Norman conquest from the use of this word to correspond to French
ville
. The modern word is partially a generic term, applicable to cities of great size as well as places intermediate between a city and a village; such use is unusual, the only parallel is perhaps Latin
oppidium
, which occasionally was applied even to Rome or Athens (each of which was more properly an
urbs
).

First record of

"drink made from the ground and roasted seeds of a tree originally native to Arabia and Abyssinia," c. 1600, from Dutch
koffie
, from Turkish
kahveh

qahwah
"coffee," which Arab etymologists connected with a word meaning "wine," but it is perhaps rather from the
Kaffa
region of Ethiopia, a home of the plant (coffee in Kaffa is called
būno

kahui
, etc. French
café
, German
Kaffe
are via Italian
caffè
.

The first coffee-house in Mecca dates to the 1510s; the beverage was in Turkey by the 1530s. It appeared in Europe c. 1515-1519 and was introduced to England by 1650. By 1675 the country had more than 3,000 coffee houses and coffee had replaced beer as a breakfast drink, but its use there declined 18c. with the introduction of cheaper tea. In the American colonies, however, the tax on tea kept coffee popular.

Meaning "a light meal at which coffee is served" is from 1774. As a shade or color resembling coffee, 1815.
Coffee-bean
is from 1680s.
Coffee-mill
is from 1690s;

is from 1850 as "cake in which coffee is an ingredient."

attested from 1952, at first often in glossy magazine advertisements by the Pan-American Coffee Bureau.
Did you drink a cup of coffee on company time this morning? Chances are that you did—for the midmorning coffee break is rapidly becoming a standard fixture in American offices and factories. [The Kiplinger Magazine, March 1952]

VCA methodology

1) Admit assumptions
a) All flips are accurate.
b) Titus is town.
c) Any mechanical clears would be outed at this point. (So if there's a hidden cop clear, it's not factored in.)

2) Grab the VCAs and color them.
a) All current known flips must be colored accurately. (No rationale such as X's reads really sucked so they were practically scum, so I'm coloring them in red.)
b) Optional but I almost never do it (exception mbos 10 but that's because I had inside mod information that made me have additional mod clears): Color in uncced PRs.

3) Establish assumptions. Scum behave with a goal in mind. Assumptions are what that goal should be.

a) Scum usually try to save their teammates.
a1) If they don't then the opposition wagon is a stronger PR
a2) If they don't and the opposition is not a stronger PR, it's a bus for towncred

b) Scum rarely lead wagons on their own

c) A fake guilty by scum is done to remove a voice they could not otherwise eliminate particularly if the slot is doomed anyway.
c1) A fake guilty means that a slot saved has some value to scum. (This means my day 1 reads should be treated like utter trash and Norfolk's should be treated with greater respect.
[Note: Day 1 notes need to be redone at this point.]

d) Wagons based off guilty claims have no VCA value as there is no threat to wagon anywhere else.

e) Repeating wagons have repeating results.
e1) This means the same names on a wagon that flipped town meet again, that wagon will likely flip town (or match what the scum want.)
e2) This means the same names on a wagon that flipped scum meet again, that wagon will be more likely to flip scum (or a townbeard that's useful to scum).

f) Be careful of the townbeard. The townbeard is someone who consistently acts proscum, even when scum wouldn't.
Example: There are 5 scumflips. A slot defended every single one. There's a decent chance that slot is the townbeard rather than scum.
Basically, the useful idiot.

Those are my basic assumptions, including some that are relevant to this game. I have to make assumptions to ascertain what scum's objective is at a given point at any point in the game. Without having enough data to make those assumptions, then VCA is nothing more than wagonomics. This is why I say VCA requires Day 3 with a scumflip. It's the amount of flips needed, at a bare minimum, to give VCA any predictive value. Sure, VCA can be done before that (and I have begrudingly), it just lacks any value. Sometimes, all that can be gathered is that X, Y and Z are the flips that need to happen.

Enough preamble, time to work.

You can't lie to me, woman. :lol:

Speaking of fabricating role claims, well it seems almost out of character for you not to claim... doesn't it?

Vanilla or not vanilla would suffice in all honesty.
Oh I would love it

You're the one with a scum result and you're the one claim stalling

SPIT IT OUT

I am already voting you so

confirm vote: chkflip

That's... crazy detailed. Exactly why I use it (and I trust you to regardless of alignment give me a jumping point). But technically that post is IIoA. Heh.

Pedit: you're being very persnickety for someone who was counter offered.

I know whether Titus, Mom, quiet, and you are vanilla or not. In that order. My reads have followed that train if you'd like to go back and check. No crumbs, but before I knew there was whatever the fuck a Doctor Tracker is flip TOWN I'm very much in the camp that the Role Cop is scum.

I did say Mom was vanilla before she claimed it, though.

I said that at some point yesterday.

The first VC that could possibly be out of RVS is 1.3

[selected VC 1.3]
MathBlade (5):
Binatog13,
Nero Cain,
chkflip, BBMolla, NorwegianboyEE [E-6]
Andresvmb (3):
Bypasser Catcher, Rannygazoo,
Vaxkiller

Here, we see there's two wagons. One on conftown. The other voted by two conftown. If Andres is town, I would put high odds on Vaxkiller being scum and vice versa. However, if the backend of the wagon on MathBlade's slot is totally town, then Andres and Vax could be TvT as scum would not be creating a counterwagon to save scum Andres but rather not caring at all which got wagoned.

[VC 1.4]
MathBlade (6): Binatog13, Nero Cain, chkflip, BBMolla, DrippingGoofball, Not_Mafia [E-5]
DrippingGoofball (3): Hayker, Momrangal, Gamma Emerald
Rannygazoo (2): Norfolk Boy1, NorwegianboyEE
Gamma Emerald (2): Andresvmb, Rannygazoo
Binatog13 (1): MathBlade,
Not_Mafia (1): Vaxkiller
Hayker (1): Titus
Andresvmb (1): Bypasser Catcher

I quoted the entirety of 1.4 to show that Not_Mafia moved onto Mathblade's slot after the disintegration of the Andres wagon, which is a null point in my belief that Andres is scum. Scum didn't really need to pile on Mathblade's slot since Ranny moved on his own and with Andres.

Official Votecount 1.7
PlusJoyed
(4): Luca Blight, DrippingGoofball, Titus,
quiet
[E-7]

DrippingGoofball (3): Momrangal, NorwegianboyEE,
MathBlade

Not_Mafia
(3): Vaxkiller, Gamma Emerald,
Bypasser Catcher

MathBlade
(2):
Nero Cain
, BBMolla
Bypasser Catcher
(2):
Not_Mafia
, chkflip
Titus (1):
PlusJoyed

Rannygazoo
(1):
Norfolk Boy1

Norfolk Boy1
(1):
Rannygazoo

Gamma Emerald (1): Andresvmb

Not Voting (2): Hayker, Binatog13

With 20 players alive, it takes 11 votes to achieve an elimination.

Day 1 will end in (expired on 2021-01-16 23:15:00).


I highly doubt Vaxkiller and Gamma are scum here. It's far too early for where scum usually would be bussing Not_Mafia.
chkflip likely isn't scum because I don't see why two scum would pile on Bypasser Catcher with other options available. It is possible chkflip could be chainsawing the Bypass Catcher vote but it doesn't seem like a move scum need to make yet.

I don't really see Luca as scum here as scum would need something to jump onto to make Plus a counterwagon. I would have suspected quiet here if Plus was town, but quiet flipped town too. That begs the question... just what were scum doing at the time Not_Mafia's wagon got started?

My mind based off this VC goes to NorweiganboyEE, DGB, Andres, Molla, and Hayker as suspects.

That is correct. There's a modifier but if you don't mind I'd rather I kept it to myself, tyvm.

Can you not see the reason I might be non-specific?

I thought scum!flip was going to claim my role, since it's already been outed, and I was hoping he'd get caught with the wrong night choices.

I'm the lazy roleblocker.

Is the modifier "scum?"
