I do not understand the current penchant for trying to narrow down who could be a Doctor in this game. Stop it.

~

ZEEnon, where exactly did you check for Albert B. Rampage’s meta?

You have been misconstruing the gravamen of the tell of ‘congratulating the doctor.’ What the tell gets at is: (i) scum who realize that they have been thwarted in their nightkill attempt want to pass it off as being great for them, despite the fact that they are likely feeling an icicle to the heart; and (ii) doctors tend to think that the scum are less likely to suspect that they are doctor if they spent a post to congratulate the doctor. Your reaction since being accused has definitely been on the excessive side. Have you ever encountered this tell before?

~

Gorrad, what do you think of PhilyEc? What do you think of Albert B. Rampage? I am looking for substantial answers here, not one-liners.

~
PhilyEc wrote:Glados, do[es your position] on Albert still stand?
Yes. His play has been inconsistent and he is trying to sweep it under the carpet by blatantly asking us to ignore it, all the while refusing to answer direct questions posed to him. Can you think of a more perfect thing for scum to be able to get away with if they can? Now he is going out of his way – along with Green Crayons – to narrow down who could be a Doctor. It disgusts me.

. Something about using the phrase "leeching" directly after I myself use the phrase to describe ABR is rubbing me the wrong way. It feels like you have been ingratiating towards me for much of the game, and now I think I'm catching instances of imitation.

PhilyEc, I have a really bad gut feeling about, but I can't find specific examples of why when I go through the posts. I've learned that my gut's usually a pretty good detector, but going through I can't find anything I can quote. I'd vote on a deadline, but I'm much more comfortable on a ZEE or Seraphim lynch.

Albert seems to have generally the same feelings as I do on people, though not always, and his brand of one-liners fall in par with what I recall him doing previously as town. I'd give him about 75% townie odds.

GC wrote:I agree with the doctor thing being a major scum tell. I thought it was so well established of a tell that nobody actually did it any more, to be honest. Just curious, though: Any other reasons for the vote?
Not really no. But it seemed like a good enough reason to vote at the time. i'll get back to you maybe at the end of this post if anythings change during the read up of new stuff though.
ZEEnon wrote:Please expand on this because it's making me HIGHLY suspicious of you.
You should try reading some of the more popular wiki entries.
Zeenon wrote:OMGUS votes are definitely a turn on to me. especially the blatantly obvious ones.
Same as before...
Zeenon wrote: So you are saying that I am not allowed to congratulate the doctor on their correct prediction?
Sure but you will be auto bandwagoned for it

So you are saying that it is a BAD thing that nobody was killed?
No, only a scum tell to congradulate the doctor. Especially when you think that RB, Jailkeepers, No kills, and any other type of special ingame role could have equally been responcible for the lack of a dead person.

So you are saying that you would rather see somebody DEAD?
I'm taking this as a rhetorical question and not just some stupid attempt to throw false attacks back towards your attacker.

So you are saying that when nobody is killed, that it can't possibly be a doctor save?
Did anyone ever say that? I'll give you yet another benefit of the doubt here and not accuse you of that thing I said before.
*Bold is mine
Zeenon wrote:Medical Student: "What do you diagnose this patient with, DR. ZEE?"
DR. ZEE: "I think Green Crayons has come down with a bad case of tunneling.
For some reason his eyes can't see Albert B. Rampage doing the same thing.
This must be treated at once."
Kinda hard to base a tunneling accusation off one sentence... But yes I suppose you could make the same statement in regards to Albert. The question becomes does GC want to see more from him or does he wish to see more from Glad for other reasons?
Glad wrote:False dilemma. I suggest that ZEEnon neither confirm nor deny whether he is a Doctor.
Bullshit. There is no false dilemma in a proven fact. Anyone who does what he did is painted as scum to town and as doc to scum. Whether he is scum or doc or neither doesn't matter. he has been branded with the above average chance of being those roles to ther respective alignments. To every rule there will always be an exception, but those are, quite literally, the exceptions and not the norm.
zeenon wrote:I don't care what YOU or anybody else say players don't do,
I do what I want to do and that is final. Understood? Good. Continuing on..
Yes, and you will accept the consequences for those actions as well. In your case it is a building up of a wagon and based on my experience with this type of attitude it will definitly grow even bigger. Realize that by you excersizing yoru right to do whatever you want you gant us the honor of doing the same, which is voting you.
zeenon wrote:Why are you role fishing? PERHAPS i'm NOT the doctor, but i'm just congratulating the doctor.
Are you saying that is not acceptable town behavior?
That is exactly what we are saying. Sortof...
Zeenon wrote:This somehow makes it seem like you know that GLaDOS was last night's target.
Your "I would have expected Glad to die" comment fits thhis statement better then the one you quoted GC as saying.
zeenon wrote:Also, since there was a serial killer, it is more likely that there is only two mafia, but i'm not sure.
case in point death note mafia: 4 mafia, 1 SK, 1 Jester. In my experience most minis have 3 mafia regardless of third party roles. In a mini the Sk's most important goal is to eliminate the mafia, so having an SK present doesn't effect the number of mafia.
Phily wrote:Extreme WIFOMing, closing other options. Take into account that ZEEnon's been inactive for the first day and was then eager to make up for that. Hes most likely town in my opinion, just tried to look it too much in the beginning unfortunately.
It is not WIFOM. It is logic based on a sound principal created a long ass time ago and which has sense become somewhat of a universal truth. And are you seriously making the case "he lurked during day 1 and so his scum tell is more likely that from a townie"?
Phily wrote:I wonderful example of leeching, its scummy but not vote worthy. I'm currently considering a Korlash/Gorrad buddiness at the moment if anyones curious. Its worth consideration at least though at the moment its just a hunch. I'll be rereading to see if this is the case.
based off my purely random statement and Gorrad tacking onto a wagon that has so far been pushed entirely by GC(who wasn't actually on the wagon anyways)? you're talking out of your ass, only I am allowed to do that.

Just because it worked so well before:
Zeenon wrote:You say that congratulating the doctor is a definite scum sign?
I don't know about him but I believe most of the accusations have clearly stated it could also be a sign of a doctor.

Well I say that answering other people's questions for them is a scum sign.
Hmm... depends on the questions I suppose. Such as this for instance, I'm answering questions asked of another but they are linked very strongly to my vote. in this situation I would argue I have equal right to answer these questions. And as what Ser did is what I am doing I suppose this explanation might apply to him as well. If I can pull one of your weak ass rhetorical questions, are you saying it is pro-town to ignore things not directed at you even if you have important comments on the matter?

Have you ever stopped to think that, oh I don't know.. not everyone thinks the same way you do, perhaps?
have you Mr. "I don't care what you or anyon else thinks" I have a strongurg to call you a hypocritical asshole but I'll refrain because I'm not that sort of player... XD
Zeenon wrote:*sigh* Since it seems that in this game we are going to
vote people solely using the wikipedia definition of scum, I am obliged to do this:
FOS: Gorrad
Scum naturally like to hop on a growing bandwagon early on, while at the same time FOSing their partner.
I can see a connection between these two. This is the second pairing i've put Gorrad with,
so don't be surprised if my vote suddenly hops on to him.
Did you ever stop to think maybe some people actually felt this way regardless of what the wiki said? Did you ever think people agreed with the wiki not becuase it was the wiki, but because what it says sounds right to them? Also isn't it a little hypocritical to fos someone for voting based on what they believe is a scum action and then make a statement such as "Scum naturally will blank"? lastly, don't base a vote on unproven pairings with alive players. What if the people you have paired Gorrad with are both town? (Obviusly one of us is) What a waste of a vote and/or lynch should it happen. What if Gorrad is town and one of the two you paired him with is scum?
Zeenon wrote:&& YOU. How do you know that i'm either of the above?
Did GC ever say he "knew"? I was fairly sure he only ever said what you did suggested you were one or the other. Perhaps you could point this out to me.

Sorry for the long post... had to catch up...

@ GC: Well my orriginal vote was simply based on the dictonomy and as it was the begining of the day and the first vote on him I feel that reasoning was more then enough to justify the vote. As for now I still like the vote where it is simply becuase of what it has spawned. Zee's serious of Strawishy 'counter attacks' and his general attitude have not left me with the feeling the dictonomy is wrong, although I won't say it has effected the option of him being Scum or Doc too much. And before he tries one of his bogus attacks on me I am not fishing for his claim because I don't really care about it right now.
It's not my job to be right, it's my job to be convincing.

Check "Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:19 am Post subject: 18" when looking at all my posts. I was first to bring leeching into play to describe ABR. I noticed you doing exactly what you've accused me of yet I hadnt brought it up BECAUSE its a word anyone can utilise. Its best for people to keep using the same phrase to describe a players actions and then summarise it into a single line when recalling why said person is scummy a few pages on.

For example,

Replacement: "Hey whats the deal on ABR, why have you all voted him?"
PhilyEC: "Poor play is he is town, leeching off others reasoning, dont like his lack of enthusiasm."

Am I right about that being the case against him by the way?

Korlash, have I mentioned how much I enjoy playing mafia with you?

ZEE, I gotta say, this nails it. Resulting to a personal insult when attacked like that when there was no need makes me pretty bloody set in my vote. You didn't have to post. You could have just waited and made a full response when it was later in the day. But you didn't; you went out of your way to insult Korlash without making any sort of response to his points.

But this makes me wonder. I'm not sure I believe that. There is a definite lack of immediacy between your use of the word leeching on Day One and my use of leeching on Day Two. I really only noticed your usage of it today because the word seemed to be suddenly popping up in multiple posts.

Not really understanding this. I seem to recall a good number of personal insults flying around in this game, but none of those made you "pretty bloody set" or even caused you to vote, that I recall. Please explain ZEEnon's insult to Korlash is different from other insults in the game (perhaps even my own "this is how stupid you sound," if you consider that an insult).

I agree here. I myself insulted Zee in my own post so him throwing one back, especially seeing as how that was the best he could do, doesn't really seem all that bad. I do however think his last post only goes to strengthen his "attitude towards the attack" but as it was 1 in the morning I'm fine giving him a mulligan on it later on.
ZEE wrote:but I just want to say they had their reasons when they gave you the title 'Krap Logick' .
Yeah. It was the fact I used stupid sounding logic and found scum with it. The scum were so pissed I was that fucking good they gave me this title to try and halt any future awesomeness from me. But it has backfired and has actually given me increased strength and stamina! I can spew crap logic left and right now and still have time to hammer scum before breakfast!

Not sarcasm. And it's only different in that he made a post JUST to make a personal insult at Korlash. I get REALLY defensive when people insult those I hold in high regard, and he contributed nothing in that post other than an insult. When someone's genuinely an idiot (read also: Blackberry), such insults can be neccesary. In this case, they are not.

I spy with my little eye someone bussing! Hint: The name starts with an 'S', and ends with an 'eraphim'. Still, I'm much more confident in ZEE-scum, so I'm willing to take advantage of the bus. Either way.

To the best of my recollection I've brought it up twice. I'm not that sure to be honest but this is what I believed when I typed why I felt you were the one using my phrase =P

Huge overstatement of what ZEEnon has done in context to the conversation they were having. If we go by your logic me, Albert, Korlash and Zeenon would be lynched just for cussing at someone. Thats leaving out any little insults anyone else has made.

---

@Albert
Seraphim has been acting pretty scummy on page 12...

@Korlash
You seem to be against Gorrad who adamantly agrues against those who think he doesnt deserve a vote. Seraphim seems to easily convinced. You're out of my suspect list for now.

Vote Gorrad


Hes just going in the wrong direction and behaves far too assuredly to be in a position where he doesnt actualy know Zee's role.

---

Do you guys feel like doing a scumlist soon? I'd like to see where the towns thoughts are at the moment.

Did I say the insult was the basis for my suspicion? No. It's the final nail. And considering UROE in the quoted game, I'm perfectly fine lynching ZEE based on that one post.

Weak case. Simple as Gorrad. No ones biting and for good reason. I'd really like to see a Gorrad lynch today but that can change if you start acting more pro-town and patient for today.

Hey, folks. Seraphim conceded that he's scummy. Why aren't we voting him?

... Processing ...

As part of a required test protocol, I will not be monitoring the next few days unless I can find time.

Before leaving, I will write up a short synopsis of the things Green Crayons asked me to elaborate on that I have not yet addressed.
Question #1 wrote:Your thoughts on ZEE's Gorrad suspicions.
ZEEnon’s suspicions seem to be based largely on the theory of other players turning out to be scum (those players being Albert B. Rampage and Seraphim). For my thoughts on this in general, read my answer to Question #3 below.

Question #2 wrote:Your thoughts on my Seraphim's suspicions.
To continually point out the obvious, Seraphim’s “reentrance” into the game at the end of Day One pretty much consisted of claiming the two people most likely to be lynched were also his top two suspects.

Seraphim is one I have been puzzling over, however. I have been tempted to vote for him today, but I have found myself rather deterred by the fact that both Green Crayons and Albert B. Rampage are pushing for Seraphim.
Question #3 wrote:Who you think would round out a three person mafia (assuming Albert and myself are you first two suspects).
This I will not answer. I do not see the relevance, as:

(i)
There may not even be a mafia group of three;
(ii)
A third person in such a group would be completely dependant on the premise that both Albert B. Rampage and Green Crayons are scum together and have a third partner. Trying to deduce alignments based on the assumption that two particular players will turn out to be mafia is statistically likely to be a futile exercise;
(iii)
It invites the faulty inference of “if you cannot find a third person to be in our hypothetical scum-group, then you are obviously wrong about the scum-pairing.” In my experience, scum groups of three usually do not make “sense” without the benefit of some hindsight and alignment reveals; and
(iv)
Searching for a third partner would only be a distraction for me at this point, and would likely result in me developing a sort of tunnel-vision about Green Crayons and/or Albert B. Rampage being scum.

... Processing ...

Actually, I did not address Question #1 as directly as I thought my answer to Question #3 would. To be more precise, then:

I am not a fan of including somebody as a "suspicious player" based on possible connections to a player whose alignment is unrevealed. ZEEnon's inclusion of Gorrad as a suspicious player on his list of three appears to be largely contingent on others' alignments, and I hence generally disapprove of it.

Gorrad is very pro-town, unvote him please.

Nice to see DOS managed to write a whole bunch about nothing in answering my questions. You could have just said "I'm not answering," it would have saved me time thinking you were actually going to answer.

Xtox's refusal to engage in this game has been noted. I'm hoping this final pester will rouse some sort of activity out of him before I go and tattle to the mod and request a prod. Or a replacement. Something.

I'm willing to bet a Kor or Gor scum. I don't think they're together, so it would be an either/or situation. Would need to do an individual reread of each to determine which I think would be scummier.

I
still
don't know why people aren't voting the self-admitted scumster. If Seraphim has an explanation for his poor play, I'm all ears. I think a votecount is nigh, so maybe an impending lynch will get him to attempt to explain himself.

But didnt Kor only start to contradict Gorrad when I mentioned how I thought the two were buddies earlier? I think it was just a poorly timed turn on a buddy since they were getting along fine till things fell on Gorrad (to the best of my recollection)

Doubt he admited hes scum. Your words are strongly suggestive when Seraphim could be a poor townie right now.

Fine, we'll do a...

Recap
:
action X = commenting upon night activity

Seraphim said that he's suspicious of ZEE because ZEE performed action X.
Seraphim said that action X is scummy.
Albert said that Seraphim also performed action X.
Seraphim said OH YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT, but just that ZEE is "more likely to be scum" (actual quote), as if him and ZEE are mutually exclusive from being scumbags.


1. He admits that his own action is scummy. He does not attempt to explain why he committed this action, he just let's this self-admittal hang in the air as if we're supposed to forget about it.
2. In doing this, if he were town, he would realize that town inevitably are going to commit suspicious actions. It just so happens that this action X is a scum/doctor tell.
Then
, realizing that he is (allegedly) town and made this mistake, he does not apply that potential to ZEE and reasserts ZEE's scumminess because of committing action X.
3. Also, he promotes the fact that it's an either/or situation between him and ZEE, which makes no sense unless if he already knows he isn't in the same camp as ZEE. The tell doesn't work once per game or something silly like that.


I just reviewed play that can be easily attributed to a crash course in Scum Thinking 101. Looks like a scum lynch to me.
