I really was not following this between you and Dunn, but as I said to Dunn, if you expect me to remember a discussion from a forum mafia game from 11 years ago, that just isn't happening.In post 1995, Momrangal wrote:You also immediately tagged on the amished tell there and completely ignored it here. I get the sense that you could make a read of it, successfully did it there but isn't paying mind to it here.
I did not play mafia, or even think about playing mafia, between 2013 and 2020. After Dunn tagged the actual game, I went back and read that section to even understand what the tell was you guys were referring to. I can certainly weigh in on the point now that I refreshed on it, but I had no memory of it until that point.YOUR AD HERE- VP Baltar

I would be surprised if that's the entire team, but GC and/or andres have variously made me feel uneasy this game in ways I haven't really articulated to myself. When I've gone back over each, they have pushes that seem logical, but I don't get a lot of passion from what they are doing in the game? Maybe it's just a side effect of life getting in the way, but andres like game out swinging today about voting on wagon and stuff...and then votes off wagon onto GC? It's weird.In post 1999, Datisi wrote:

I find it difficult to beleive that a person entirely forgets a tell they used to use once upon a time BUT I guess I could give you the benefit of the doubt.
@Datisi
Give me a mo on VP, Dunn largely amounts to gut and rough meta. Mostly, I don't see the scumgenda in the way he's engaged with Baltar and also myself.- Momrangal

Looking at the case VP has on Max, I'm not sure VP ties their mindsets so closely like this as partners. At the same time, he is giving both town reasons and scum reasons for him so it may be a way to defend him without really defending him but having a bit of an out maybe if max flips scum. I feel like interaction wise they are unlikely to be partners but the case makes me question the lack of possible scum theater here

It kind of comes across that way to me. Cookie could be an alt, but if they are an actual noob, it seems like LHF

And this one doesn't really feel like partner interactions however it could be. For them to be partners, it would have to be the ultimate theater but I also think that they are individually scummy.

I tried to explain this I believe but maybe I wasn’t clear. I would be floored if you were all Town in the universe that Dunn is Town. Because then that’s two consecutive executions of relatively easier players to push lead by a combination of the group I highlighted plus a few other actors.In post 1931, Datisi wrote:i'll get to your other stuff tomorrow. i'm decently confused about your recent posts, claiming you'd be floored if dats/baltar(/lotus) was all town, then turning around and calling that speculative because we're being loud and scum often isn't loud. i feel like i need to review your d1 again which i do not have the brain cells for right now- maxwell

I guess. If the stated point is just, "let's kill the lurker" that's...understanable, I just thought there was something more backing the conviction and I'm not especially whlemed? I don't know. I'm conflicted.In post 1972, VP Baltar wrote:

For this, I’m going to have to re-read D1. And a bit like you, it feels like a drag and I haven’t gotten around to doing that carefully. But anyway, I am trying to do two things at the same time.In post 1941, Datisi wrote:i feel like i'm reading... needless aggression from you here. not quite sure what to make of it, i'll have wait until you elaborate on your "there's scum in this group" vs "probably not because you're being loud" arguments. i don't get them.
Given what I’ve seen and read, I don’t think I can, at this point in time, narrow down the Scum (if there indeed is one) between {You, RLotus, VPB}. You and VPB keep throwing skepticism my way, voted for RTP, and ended up on Italiano (and were somewhat tunneled), whereas RLotus thinks I’m obvTown today, called me Town yesterday as well, and did not end up on Italiano. There are enough other players that think that I’m Town that I think one of two strategies could be playing out (if I may say so): either whoever is the Scum is trying to disagree with me, but not attack me directly (since I’m being TR by a lot of players in the game), or I’m being hard TR to be pocketed. For me to feel like I have a better sense of the game, I’m going to have to see probably some more flips and reactions. That’s the truth.
On the other hand, I feel it’s entirely sensible to push some of the players RTP was skeptical of already. RTP thought Green Crayons was Scum throughout most of the day, included them in most POEs, and I also thought had some bad interactions (if you take the view that Duchess / GC was SvT, and given the fact that multiple votes piled onto Duchess, then it’s not out of the question that GC could be Scum just from that). I think pushing there is entirely warranted. I haven’t seen anything today that would make me reconsider either. That’s where I ended up yesterday, and that’s where I’m voting today as of now.- maxwell

I'll be honest here: I had so completely checked out of the game mentally that I missed the posts asking him to claim, and his replies. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be doing that as a replacement, that's sloppyIn post 1976, VP Baltar wrote:It's factually inaccurate that no one asked him to claim, and it's like a "well, I guess he deserved it!" post. Dunn's doing the same thing of course. It's probably not alignment indicative, but my gut says those types of slams upon the yeeted could be more likely from scum. IDK, I'm rambling.
All right, that's fair enough, when you put it that way, I understand where you're coming from. I am hesitant because I've seen Dunn as lurking underwhelming town before and it doesn't feel far off from that here (plus I don't think his points about midway are bad!). I probably need to quit being lazy and take a broader view of the game at this point, it's just...daunting.In post 1998, Datisi wrote:that's... overly simplified.
- dunn had a bad case of lurk day one
- kept ignoring questions thrown his way
- had a post around mid day one where it seemed like he's town on italiano, but made absolutely no attempts of genuinely convincing anyone
- lurking up to deadline (i believe he got prodded around that time? not sure)
- once italiano wagon was basically a guarantee (i.e. he was literally implying he was going to hamer himself), popped in with a kinda weak midway vote
- the above looks bad when you notice that italiano flipped town, because it implies that dunn presented a townread, didn't try convincing anyone on it, and once it was guaranteed the wagon was going through, he voted somewhere else, in a very "scum staying off misyeet wagon for townpoints" fashion
- returns day two with like barely any reads, isn't showing much will to live, and is seriously questioning why he's top wagon
- also i really dislike his baltar shade(?)
like is this 100% slam dunk scumcase? no, i can see a few universes out there where this flips town. but like. individually, it's the best i got rig- maxwell

think I'll probably go here now. Partly because I feel ignored, partly because I don't like the pushes he's making so far.
I feel like a push on duchess is LHF, and I'm not entirely understanding his push on lotus around the 40sIn post 1995, Momrangal wrote:I'm not sure but I recalled (and correctly) that you were one of the few who defended me on rep in.

I don't like your attacks on Dunn and duchess, and feel lukewarm on your read on lotus.
Regarding Koba, you appealed to them and asked them to help you out, in figuring out if you were simply tunneled here but I didn't see a response to their answer
None of this really makes sense to me, and is not really how I feel at all. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about the amished tell. He didn't push duchess as a scumread at all and I'm not sure what you're seeing there exactly.In post 1996, Momrangal wrote:I just have a very strong vibe of you going through the motions instead of putting actual thought behind your suspicions and pushes
That's two players in this slot who have made bad pushes on slots that are either flipped town or a townread and it's starting to add up. If it's hard to find scum in the game thread this slot might be a reason why given it's had long periods of absence from the game thread.- Andresvmb

This actually makes no sense to me. So I’m going to say I think it’s coming from Town.In post 1985, RLotus wrote:I still don't see scum in VPB and Datisi after reconsidering. After reading a couple VPB games, it seems like he has a tendency to try to discredit people pushing on him as town. At first I thought it was scummy, but I think that is town behavior for him.
I still have this lingering gut paranoia about him regardless. Maybe he could be a deepwolf here? I dunno I guess I can't shake the feeling I got day 1. Anyway, he's in my townblock.
I mean, you say that a player that is discrediting those that question them after they’ve made a consistently bad push, and gives you bad vibes, is in your Town block, but could be deep Scum? What Scum doesn’t try to take advantage of these points unless they’re taking about a Partner?- Momrangal

Looking back, I find this Scummy.In post 243, Green Crayons wrote:You know VD is town which is why you preemptively defended him against a threat level 1 question.
GC was trying to consistently build a case against Duchess, who was criticizing GC’s line of questioning of Italiano. At first, GC makes the point that Duchess is trying to defend a Partner, and that they’re both Scum. But once Italiano takes offense at Duchess’ “defense” (Duchess seemed to insist that they weren’t defending Italiano but only criticizing GC’s approach), and turns around and votes Duchess, GC drops that line and argues that Duchess *knows* Italiano is Town, and is basically White Knighting Italiano and putting them (GC) in a bad spot. Now that we know that Italiano is in fact Town, this feels very much to me like Scum that is trying to take advantage of a situation to paint another player as Scum at all costs. Because well, didn’t this merit some reconsideration perhaps a little sooner? It came later, if I remember correctly, but only after the wagon on Duchess didn’t quite work out, and the attention shifted decidedly against Italiano. I am going to rely a little less on my memory and see if this played out how I remember it, but it is something worth returning to. - Andresvmb
