You got an old person here

Go is often said to have three rules, of which the first is capturing stones. The four intersections connecting to a stone are it's liberties. If your opponent surrounds all the liberties of a stone it is captured. A stone with only one liberty left is in
atari
, which is where the game company get it's name from,
The second rule of go is the suicide rule. You cannot play in a position that reduces the liberties of one of your groups to zero, resulting in it being captured.
which prevents situations where a player immediately returns the board back to the previous position. In the image below if you have just played one of the red marked stones your opponent could not immediately capture back.
Apologies for the big quotes, but I'm really interested in how the Datisi heat suddenly died off after a while. Like, there's obviously some confirmed town in here, but I always felt like the Datisi heat was pretty poorly constructed and didn't work. Increasingly I'm wondering if there's some solid logic here in the idea that some mafia themselves started to realise it was a rubbish wagon and directed their attentions elsewhere before it got them into more trouble.

So Fua can’t have suddenly forgot Frog exists while making a PoE of who they shot. That seems off.
This isn't entirely unpersuasive.
The lack of a CC thing is notable though. You'd expect a second killing role in a game this size.
I gave an opinion on him a few posts ago. Light town because I think scum would stop the line of posting he's made upon observing that no one likes it.
I don’t think so.
I think that’s inaccurate.
I think Scorpious is a newb scum who doesn’t know how to fake reads (or an old scum that doesn’t care to).
Sure he may not be able to read the entire game if town but a read is not too much to ask.

It’s why I am letting it sit until after work.

, the bonus points awarded to white for making black go first. In most rules it is either 6.5 or 7.5, with the .5 being to avoid draws. Following Japanese rules, which uses territory counting and 6.5 komi that would be black winning by +11.5.
I beleive I saw this VC and assumed that General didn't gain majority, dude gained majority really fast and 2 people got off Yeet

"Town is playing townlike" and "I'm not sure who is scum" aren't the same thing.
I mean, ok look, finding scum that are using their words and actually have a thread presence can be hard, especially for a non Mith tier player like myself. I mean, I have played a number of games where scum just does...like literally nothing the whole game and while its mathmaticly impossible for scum to be just eyes/scorp...i think eyes could just very well be scum.
VOTE: eyes
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Really? You finally get traction on your push against VP and promptly abandon it? Again?

While I have you, who were you scumreading coming into today before this whole fua fight? Setting fua aside, who is scum on the Wu wagon?

Not sold on VP.
Tene/Scorpio is a good start
Tene pushed a lurker but didn’t want my choice of lurker
Meaning if Tene is scum Scorpio probably is too

Just because I have not played mafia here before does not mean I have not played mafia before. I can see that Datisi is charismatic and respected by some of the other players here. In this scenario, I would also have scum partners who could tell me such a thing. His posts simply became better, and that is why I dropped my suspicion. I believe even Datisi would agree that his posts became townier later in Day 1.
