Day One, Vote Count the Seventh


Zdenek (1): riceballtail
HellloooNewman (2): vijay2vasandani, bv310
Junpei (3): Zdenek, PeregrineV, hiplop
PeregrineV (2): pappums rat, Junpei
Not Voting (2): HellloooNewman, quadz08

With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch and 5 to no-lynch.

As our replacement, quadz, is on V/LA until a day before the scheduled deadline, I am extending the deadline by 48 hours. The deadline is now currently set for 5:00 pm PDT (GMT-7) on Thursday, April 5.

quadz08 is V/LA through Monday.

As ever, any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Not because he's scum, but for cautious play.

Can we lynch this scumbag?

RiceBallTail... many people think that cautious play is a scumtell.

Peregrine doesn't know why he's voting me, in other news.

Cautious play is scummy, and saying that it's your playstyle, but not being able to back that up with either examples or why your view has changed, is really scummy.

vijay2vasandani wrote:^ that's a fair point.

No it's not.

So looking over Peregrine, he appears to have no real reason for his Junpei vote, and pappum's is right about him.

Unvote
Vote PeregriveV

All right! Yeah... Finally...

I read the thread and had some conclusions/results way back when the bugger Quadz stoleded my replacement slot! *shakes fist* but it's fine because I'm here anyway. Sadly, I've forgotten everything so I'll need to read up again quickly. I have the day off and three games to dig into so I'll have something tangible up sooner or later...

Actually, this one isn't too long so maybe I'll dig into it now... I have five minutes.

Little bit about me, first book I ever read was Pearls of Lutra... Started collecting the series immediately after that, still have it somewhere. I attribute my entire writing 'career' to good ol' Brian Jacques... So I guess you can all blame him, lolz... >.> Long story short, bit of a fanboy... <3 all badgers... yet hate the hares for some reason... I don't know, something about them hopping along all militaristicly speaking in their British slangs wot wot... Why don't they go back to Russia! *shakes fist again*

Sorry, right... was reading...
It's not my job to be right, it's my job to be convincing.

1. This is 100% true, and a very accurate use of the word to compare this play to normal (town) Junpei play.
2. I've never heard you say this or anything like it as town.
3. Once again you as town do not say "fine" and then vote anyone.

Still eyeballing Junpei and the Rat.


Really? I just answered Junpei's question about a succinct case on Newman in the middle of 127.


Yes, you are saying that if BV is scum, then Newman is his scumbuddy trying to protect him, and if BV is town, then Newman is scum trying to look townie.
So what would town Newman do if he didn't want the day to end early?

And I don't really care if you answer the questions out loud, since my point is that the arguments are not enough to convince me to vote for Newman.

Two things.
First: he would fucking say he doesnt like L-2 because he was afraid of a quicklynch.
Second: he wouldn't be afraid of L-2 causing the day early because like Pappum's Rat says, here in MS we build bandwagons as pressure. After spending a year on site he should know that by now. His fear of a quicklynch is unfounded.

On the off-chance a quicklynch does occur a townie would be ecstatic because there is no town intent for one thus it is a chance to catch scum.

Thus there is no town intent for being scared about L-2.

No questions here, so you just want me to disagree? OK.

First: He didn't use those exact words, so it couldn't have been the reason?

Second: Yes, but not always.

And town intent is for a lynch of scum. Scum intent is for a lynch of town. The quicker the lynch, in general, the more chance it will be of town.
Why?
Because if you remove the factor of speed of lynch entirely, the chances of a mislynch are the same fast or slow.

Then, the only difference is that fast lynches reduce discussion in the thread, which is our primary means of catching scum.

tl:dr- quicklynches bad cuz they reduce discussion.

All right, I'm done, more or less, with everything up to this page. I have one long freaking post that I will edit and try and sort out into a more managable thing... But first, the TL;DR part since that is what everyone wants:

Scum:
V2V
Rat
Ghostlin
Z-Something

More on the two side:
Hiplop
Junpei
Newman

Didn't actually notice during the read up:
Riceball
Peregrine

Unvote:, Vote: V2V


Mod: is it ok to unvote and vote on the same line, or do they have to be on separate lines as well?
I really should get around to reading the rules sometime...

Per Voting and Lynching rule #1, either is permissible. The main thing is that votes need to be in bold or vote tags, and I need to know which player is being voted. ~DY

Post seems to be too long to post at all once.. keep getting a 505 internal server error... I'll try breaking it up...
Spoiler: Stuff on V2V
V2V wrote:Yuck. As hiplop already pointed out, what's wrong with L-2? I'm seeing scum intent in either defending his scumbuddy or trying to gain towncred by defending a townie. Town intent not so much. Maybe afraid of a quicklynch, but really a L-2 quicklynch just outs 2(worst case 1) scum. Yup, happy with my vote.


What about Ghostlin, he said the exact same thing. Do you only see scum intent there as well? And no, the worst case scenario of a quicklynch is that it could cost us two, maybe even three straight mislynches. It's all well and good for chastising a player who hasn't 'seen the light' so to speak but don't be outright wrong about it.

V2V wrote:I dont think there is a problem with a different opinion. It's more that you can't explain why. I'm going to ask you again, why is L-2 this early dumb? The only problem a townie would have with it would be a quicklynch, but the scum we catch makes up for it. On the other hand as scum it's far more reasonable to be scared of L-2.

SO ONCE AGAIN, STOP BITCHING ABOUT THE PLAYERS AND ANSWER THE QUESTION. EXPLAIN WHY L-2 IS DUMB.

also a strawman defense from what I know is what you just did. As in attacking MS players meta instead of dealing with what we are actually saying


lololol this just makes me laugh. He 'yells' at him for not answering the question he just asked two posts ago without Newman getting a chance to respond. And yes, I know you asked him once before but he did technically answer you that time so repeating it was simply for more clarification. To go straight into caps lock because he didn't post after you asked him again is just funny. "OMG you haven't had time to post and answer me so I'll yell at you now!!! That will net me answers faster!" lolololol

And no, Newman had been dealing with what you guys were saying but he added the addendum to it which you focused on, instead of his actual stuff. Which... if I remember correctly, IS the definition of Strawman. Now do I disagree entirely with it? No, good play by you guys. But don't accuse someone of doing something when the very act of that accusation causes you to do it as well. It's stupid play, and you're scummy for doing it...


V2V wrote:That's exactly my point. In that post you HAVEN'T GIVEN A REASON AT ALL. Saying that being this close to a lynch this early isn't a reason. Why are we too close to a lynch? How is L-2 even close to a lynch, considering any attempt at a quicklynch should be squelched anyway.

But let's say you're right. It is too early to have somebody at L-2. So no pressure on the guy who I think is suspicious? We have 10 days, so we're going to let them wait 8 before pressuring them? Totes bro.

And lastly don't misrep me. I'm not attacking you because you expressed a different opinion (ie L-2 is a bad thing). I'm attacking you because you haven't sufficiently provided a reasoning for the idea that can be attributed to a townie. Capisce?


First part seems valid, second part... is okay... Third part makes no sense... You just said yourself a 'town reason' someone might say what Newman did (The quicklynch thing) You disagreed with it, but the idea still exists. So what, you just want Newman to repeat something you just attacked? "I'm going to attack your reasons, then demand you give them to me!" Stupid... scummy... Either attack the reasons or demand he give them to you, not both.

V2V wrote:His unfounded alarm on placing somebody at L-2 by page three is scummy because it stinks of either scum trying to defend his scumbuddy or defend a townie to gain towncred.


"Or a player legitimately worried about a quicklynch, but since I disagree with that I won't even allow myself to consider it as a possibility." :\ I mean hell, you don't even show him options he could be doing instead, it's like you don't actually care if he is scum or not, just want him lynched for his beliefs... I think Riceball is right, you are a mafia racists :P

V2V wrote:To RBT: read 120. Also, so what if you do get targeted for having a different playstyle? That's a different point altogether. Whether or not it is true, Newman failed to address the points raised against him, choosing instead to complain about the discrimination between playstyles (whether true or not).


Lies. He may not have addressed them sufficiently, but he did address them. The complaining was a side tangent, not his entire focus. It's you lot that made it a bigger focus then it needed to be, and while that alone wouldn't be too bad, you let the actual issue slip into obscurity while you piled this bullshit on top of him.


V2V wrote:First: he would fucking say he doesnt like L-2 because he was afraid of a quicklynch.
Second: he wouldn't be afraid of L-2 causing the day early because like Pappum's Rat says, here in MS we build bandwagons as pressure. After spending a year on site he should know that by now. His fear of a quicklynch is unfounded.


lolololol

First: You're right, This is the only actual valid point against him, he hasn't actually said it. BUT, that still doesn't cover why he is scum for it. Not producing a town reason does not equate to being scum. YOU have to come up with that reasoning yourself. And if you use the fucking word "Could be" in your reasoning, you haven't sufficiently explained anything. Give me a real reason he is scum, show me evidence that what he did actually came from an anti town perspective and leave the hypothetical guesses at home mate. "Could be trying to look good" bull fucking shit, show me some evidence. "Could be protecting a buddy" bull fucking shit, show me some partner links to support it.

Second: LOLOLOLOLOL MS meta = he is scum for bringing up something that is OBVIOUSLY FUCKING TRUE SINCE I'M DOING IT RIGHT NOW!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL <- shift key, don't use freaking caps lock.

Don't you dare say he is scum because he doesn't follow 'MS policy' that's a shit attack and only justifies the fact some people do feel discriminated against here. Keep the fucking politics out of it mate.

*Disclaimer: The use of the word 'fucking' in this post was only to illustrate frustration and should in no way be taken as harsh insults or whatever. I <3 all of you, especially V2V because he's a fun guy to pick on. =DDDDD -smiley face-

V2V wrote:Thus there is no town intent for being scared about L-2.

Mislynch, followed by a mislynch, followed by a mislynch? Sounds like town intent to me mate...

Spoiler: Rat Stuff
Rat wrote:The fact that you are so adamant about someone being at L-2 is the problem. As I have already said, people are going to get wagoned D1, thats the way D1 works, it is a fundamental fact, and you condemning it so vigorously makes you look like scum.


Codeword: "I believe something that you don't and since you won't change your mind you are scum"... Just because the day works that way doesn't mean every player has to like it, it does not however, make them scum for it. Pushing the easy lynch on day one based on what can only be described as policy (i.e. Player doesn't agree with policy, thus must be lynched) is a scum easy out.

Rat wrote:Because people who are familiar with MS.net know that large non-lynching wagons spring up on D1. They know that these not-so-serious wagons will die down once discussion has run it's course. Considering that Newman has a year of experience here at MS.net, he knows that this is likely the case here as well. Experienced scum has motivation to come to the "aid" of someone on one of these kinds of wagons because it could make them look better and more protown. Experienced town has no reason to try to make themselves look better.


lolololol... Player uses MS meta to defend himself, so he is scum, but it's fine for me to use MS meta to attack him. lolololol

How many people are on this site? You can personally tell me how each and every one of them thinks?

How many games are run on this site (in a year, since that is the number you threw out), you can tell me with a straight face every single one of them works the exact same way?

And what the hell is the 'experienced scum would know to come to the aid of people to make themselves look better'... Newman got waggoned up the ass for doing that, what the hell is experienced about that? "I have experience, thus will do something that gets my lynched, in order to look better"... Doesn't make any sense mate. And what, sitting by letting something you disagree with happen is how you define 'experienced town'... yeah, totally pushing the easy lynch here with BS.

(at the end of my post)
Then the jump by rat to the contentless player, once again evidence of pushing the easy lynch... Some more stuff... la la la. and I enter. YAY ME! Hi me! *waves* ANd more stuff that happened since I've been doing this... sad...


Spoiler: Ghostlin Stuff
Ghostlin wrote:No one else vote for BV. L-2 is perfect for right now. I will see voting to L-1 at this juncture a scum claim due to the fact that if BV is scum, he can prematurely end the day by hammering himself. Thank you.


lololol... "anyone not voting BV is scum" one post later "Vote for BV and you're scum!" lolololol....

Bandwagoning someone and then telling others not to vote them destroys the entire purpose of the bandwagon. Saying anyone who votes that player from that point on is scum gives him an out to both get off the wagon without cause and place his vote elsewhere, again without cause. Total scum move.

Ghostlin wrote:If you want a serious place to put some of your votes, I recommend you check out vijay's ISO for your consideration.


Actually, this is sound advice... V2V is always scum. *Squinty eyes*

Ghostlin wrote:There is no protown reason not to be voting BV if you don't have any harder suspicion. There is nothing BV's done that reeks of Town or Town play. In fact, Junpei pointed this out to me, and I had to reread what BV said--which is never a good sign. If someone drops an obv-Town tell in front of me, I usually cling to it.

So, the only reason you wouldn't vote BV at the moment (ignoring the fact it's L-2 and I want BV to squirm and not end the day prematurely) is you were afraid of the accountability storm of being on that wagon. If you're town, there's not much to be afraid of being accountable for your actions.


Codeword: I'm town for doing this AND for telling you not to! and the whole "I want him to squirm even though I'm defending the act of not voting him" is utter bullshit, you can't do both.

Ghostlin wrote:
I call bullshit. I've always found the shorter the Day, the worse it is for town, so I acutally think a self hammer is a VALID concern.
EBWOP: Also, the odds of catching scumbuddies through Day 1 play is roughly zero, so I'm really wondering what crap logic you're using there, Zdenek.


Only if you don't try mate.

Does this mean Ghostlin actually had a 'scum read' on BV? That's how I'm reading it... Doesn't this mean his call for no more votes would be fake? Who cares how fast the wagon is or short the day is if scum dies, especially in a game this small... Don't get me wrong, longer day = more for me to chew on tomorrow, but one scum dead = a win in my book any day. Either Ghost is lying now with his concerns of a scum self hammer or he lied earlier when he said he didn't want more votes on the person he actually thinks is scum... Or both times, cause he's... scum...
It's not my job to be right, it's my job to be convincing.

Spoiler: Zdenek Issues
Z-Something wrote:What we've got here is Junpei attacking Pappums' attack on Newman as though Newman's play is not indicative of scum, which means that should be able to understand Newman'spoint of view, but then turning around and questioning Newman on it. So either the question is disingenuous or his argument against Pappum's argument is.


I'm not one to defend Junpei here. I operate under the same style of play, I just do it better, so I'm sure he can cover that himself. I am wondering why you took two different questions and tried to say it made them ingenuous. Questioning Rat why Newman's stance was scummy and wanting to know Newman's reasoning more clearly are in no way the same issue. You can dislike a players attack while still questioning the person they attacked, it's actually called 'proper town play'... Only, with more content then Junpei has been giving... *Squinty eyes* You don't give a pass to people who the people you suspect are scum without risking a loss for inept scrutiny.

Z-Something wrote:Except that the argument against Newman is not a playstyle argument. There is possibly scum intent in his actions. If Newman can produce evidence that this something that he usually thinks when an early wagon pops up, then that is a partial defense for his behaviour.

I'm still waiting for that, by the way.


There is possible scum intent in what he did but no one has actually shown any of it to be likely. Other than saying "He could be doing this..." No one has shown why what Newman did actually came from scum. Everyone just assumes that since he won't give a valid reason town would do it, the attacks are justified, and they are not. It is the responsibility of the attacker to prove the person is scum before the person has to prove their innocence. No one has done this, so focusing on Newman's lack of town proof is wrong and only furthers to suggest the wagon actually has scum on it.

Z-Something wrote:Junpei's questions make it seem like he is just trying to cause trouble.


Case in fucking point, "His questions could be scummy but I won't say why, thus I can't be wrong!!!!!!" lolololol Backup your attacks mate.

Z=Something wrote:BS. When you question someone's attacks on another person, you are implicitly defending that person, but even if you want to contend that you weren't, I still don't buy that you're honestly questioning both Pappum's and Newman.


This is true, which is why you can't afford not to also question the person you have been accidentally defending. So Junpei does this, and all you can come up with is "I don't buy it..."

Wow...



Spoiler: Everybody Else
Junpei wrote:What's the most important trait to have in a mafia game?


Self-awareness, know where your strengths and weaknesses lie and play the game accordingly. You don't have to be smart if you're clever, and you don't have to be a good detective if you can speak fluent bullshit.

Right I'm starting to remember now, i was glad I didn't get the first replacement because Ghost is scum... Ha ha ha, lucky me... The slot is a death sentence waiting to happen.

Newman wrote:The thing that frustrates me about games here on MS is the fact that everyone plays the same way. And when anyone dares have a different opinion/POV, they immediately get wagoned.


Yeah, I hear you Bro, but that's how mafia works. If five players think A and one player thinks B, the B player stands out and thus nets himself pressure for it. The game of mafia literally is defined as 'Mob rules'. The trick is to be smarter than the mob, like me, that way you use the group mindset to your win conditions advantage.

If I can add my two cents here, the thing about quick bandwagons in a game is that they rarely actually end in a lynch. Once 3-4 people have voted, there is usually enough going on that another wagon will soon pop up (with actual cause behind it this time) and allow the early bandwagon to fall apart. You get to see how the people jumping on the wagon act, how the people staying off the wagon act, and how the person being wagon reacts. It's all a good way to get a foot hold in the game.

Hiplop wrote:Your strawman esquw defense is weird tho, gonna sleep on this to decide whether youre scum or town


I'm interested in just how the "I disagree with how you guys have gone about this" is strawmanesque... Or are you talking about the "Free-thinkers always get bandwagoned" part? Cause if that's the case, you're the one strawmanning here.

Junpei wrote:Google 'succinct' and then answer my plea, if you will.


I'm sad to admit I actually did this... *sigh* Apparently I was wrong, it wasn't Latin for 'suck eggs'...

*sigh* you seem to be playing both sides... But you did take a solid stance on Newman, more or less... getting a fractured and uneasy town vibe at the moment.


Wow... didn't know we had a post length limit now... I will try not to do this again...

So yeah, long story short:

V2V:
Pushing a scumtastic vote and 'case' on Newman without actually showing evidence why what he did/said came from scum. Dwelling on the fact Newman hasn't actually said the word "quicklynch" as reason he should be lynched. Clearly pushing the 'easy lynch' on a player that seems incapable of defending against the shit attacks he is flinging. Needs to die, asap.

Rat:
Also pushing the scumtastic crap attacks on Newman and fueling the obvious 'easy lynch'. His jump to Peregrine follows suit, although I'll admit I haven't looked at it nearly as closely as I have Newman's... Still, I don't expect it to look anymore legitimate than his Newman shit did.

Ghostlin:
seemingly protecting himself with his fake vote/don't vote early on. Sadly replaced out too early for me to continue the read...

Zdenek:
Doesn't actually back up his attacks, says "There is scum motive" or 'What you did seems scummy' without saying why. Push against Junpei was pure crap.

Junpei:
I don't like how he seems to entirely be about asking the questions, not enough using the information he gains there. Could be playing both sides, but I get more of a lazy town feel.

Hiplop:
Also a lazy town feel. His early mention attitude towards the Newman thing seemed very fencesittingy and his continuing ignorance of the issue makes me pause, but nothing really screams scum to me.

Newman:
I think he would have this stance and thus create this result regardless of his alignment, but since I feel the attacks on him ARE scum motivated I assume he is town. I have seen no scum move from him nor anyone actually illustrate one, unless I see a change there he shall be town.

Riceball:
Seems to have been following the Newman thing, but not actually commenting on it (The post about agreeing with the discrimination for instance). Doesn't seem very townlike to sit by and let something of that scale continue without a stated opinion or some additional content. Sadly, nothing from.. her? posts actually made me think or want to respond so I'm null right now.

Peregrine:
I shall be looking into the case against him shortly, I just wanted to get caught up first. I'll hold off on an actual opinion until after I look into that.
It's not my job to be right, it's my job to be convincing.

Not always, but it gives scum the ability to vote someone without haveing to explain or defend it.
Answered above.
Papums Rat, maybe.

Yeah, he could only look town if bv310 were to flip town, which is why I think bv's slot is likely town. I didn't say "he WILL look town when bv flips" I said he COULD look town. Scum has more reason to defend someone who doesnt need to be defended, which I have already explained and which is why I think Newman is scum.

Codeword: "I believe something that you don't and since you won't change your mind you are scum"... Just because the day works that way doesn't mean every player has to like it, it does not however, make them scum for it. Pushing the easy lynch on day one based on what can only be described as policy (i.e. Player doesn't agree with policy, thus must be lynched) is a scum easy out.

They know that these not-so-serious wagons will die down once discussion has run it's course. Considering that Newman has a year of experience here at MS.net, he knows that this is likely the case here as well. Experienced scum has motivation to come to the "aid" of someone on one of these kinds of wagons because it could make them look better and more protown. Experienced town has no reason to try to make themselves look better.


lolololol... Player uses MS meta to defend himself, so he is scum, but it's fine for me to use MS meta to attack him. lolololol

How many people are on this site? You can personally tell me how each and every one of them thinks?

How many games are run on this site (in a year, since that is the number you threw out), you can tell me with a straight face every single one of them works the exact same way?

And what the hell is the 'experienced scum would know to come to the aid of people to make themselves look better'... Newman got waggoned up the ass for doing that, what the hell is experienced about that? "I have experience, thus will do something that gets my lynched, in order to look better"... Doesn't make any sense mate. And what, sitting by letting something you disagree with happen is how you define 'experienced town'... yeah, totally pushing the easy lynch here with BS.

(at the end of my post)
Then the jump by rat to the contentless player, once again evidence of pushing the easy lynch... Some more stuff... la la la. and I enter. YAY ME! Hi me! *waves* ANd more stuff that happened since I've been doing this... sad...


1. How many times am I going to have to explain this? THE FACT THAT BIG NON-LYNCHING WAGONS HAPPEN ON DAY 1 IS NOT AN OPINION IT IS A FACT. CONSIDERING HE HAS BEEN HERE A YEAR, HE SHOULD KNOW THAT. HE DOSENT HAVE TO LIKE THAT BIG NON-LYNCHING WAGONS HAPPEN, BUT HE SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY DO AND THAT BITCHING ABOUT THEM IS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE... GUESS WHAT?... THEY DONT OFTEN END IN LYNCHES. SO IF HE KNOWS THAT THEY HAPPEN... AND THEN PRETENDS LIKE A LYNCH IS GOING TO HAPPEN... HE HAS BEEN DISHONEST ABOUT DEFENDING A PLAYER, AND THAT IS A SCUMTELL. HENCE I THINK HE IS SCUM.

2. Where did I defend myself with MS meta?
If he hadnt been called out on his unneeded defense and bv had flipped town at some point he could have gotten townpoints for defending him. However, people did call him out and therefore doesnt. And if he disagrees with the way people play on MS.net, he can take is to MD. Oh, and he still hasnt provided meta supporting him that he defends people who dont need it as town.
Then the jump by rat to the contentless player, once again evidence of pushing the easy lynch
ROFLMAO. Calling out a player for posting non-content is "pushing an easy lynch"? Since when? LMAO.

I never called Bullshit on it, simply said it fit the pattern of someone pushing easy lynches to jump from Newman to Peregrine. Are you feeling guilty because your case is bullshit?

funny, V2V has been attacking him because he never said anything about fearing a lynch would happen, yet you say he has... Which is it? One of you must be lying. And I think I get your point, you feel that he should know this (regardless of his alignment) thus actually doing that only mean he is defending someone. logical thinking I suppose, and good thing you have no ability to look into it too. Man, lucky you with your unable to defend against logic.

Do you have any evidence what he did/said was actually in someone's defense, or is that just the speculative conclusion you decided to roll with?

You didn't. People attacked Newman for using meta to defend himself and then you attacked him USING MS meta. So it's a double standard, he is scum for doing it but you aren't. Also, just noticed your wording:

Rat wrote:Considering that Newman has a year of experience here at MS.net, he knows that this is likely the case here as well.


Should read "Newman should know that is the case" but it doesn't. You blatantly claim that you know how he thinks which either means you have some intimate knowledge of him or this entire line of thinking is bullshit you made up.

Back to the point: If shit happened, he could have done this? IF? If Newman was lynched and flipped town, you could try to spin it in some way that you weren't scum that orcastrated it... Doesn't really work, that line of argument, does it. If something did happen, player B would have done things this way, thus he is scum... If... If... If... Yeah, why don't you leave the "if" out of it and focus on real events and not the shit you make up.

All your evidence on Newman is stuff you think would have happened in some parallel universe, if you're not scum bullshitting this case you're an idiot for thinking it's real evidence. I prefer to assume you're scum over an idiot since I more than meet this game's quota for fools and unintellectuals thank you.

rat wrote:Calling out a player for posting non-content is "pushing an easy lynch"? Since when? LMAO.


Yes, going after the, pardon my usage here, lurker is an easy out for anyone. If a wagon forms, sweet, if the player posts adequate defense you look better for causing him to contribute. A win/win for any scum.

And please argue why town would do it so we can come full circle and make this exactly like the Newman case just with you on the receiving end... Then I'll push the same shit you did, you argue against it, and my case on you is justified by your own words... Aren't I clever... >.> *thumbs up*

I'll make another post on PeregrineV's response and a few other things about Korlash probably, but first I want to say this:

The key to catching scum is unlocking each persons' thought process. In order to do this you need to know a few things:

1) What they know
2) What they don't know
3) What they think they know
4) What they think they don't know

I have opinions on every notable piece of this game, Korlash. I do not play both sides, I investigate every persons' mind, and sometimes you get gems like PeregrineV where they have no explanation for your query. Wrong =/= scum, Right =/= town, falsely attacked =/= town.

Also, while I understand your "MS meta argument is crap" you have to understand a key fact: If Newman knows what pappums says he knows (that bandwagons will take place and dissolve very likely and often early in games) then his action is very suspect. Have you looked at how many games Newman has played? This isn't a matter of "site meta" to me, this is a matter of Newmans' empirical knowledge, and how he is applying it (or perhaps not applying it).

However, I personally have reviewed the case, and if you look at newmans' responses regarding the L-2 in ISO, you see very consistent and non-suspicious thought. He saw no reason for bv310 to be at L-2 (which is indeed almost L-1) and thus unvoted. He felt that it was time to end RVS. I have no real reason to suspect Newman, thus I do not. I think that the "site-meta" argument is flawed because it assumes conscious awareness of the "meta", which I don't believe newman had, and I believe that it is very common not be conscious of such a thing.

Finally, I am not lazy. If you don't believe me, I will direct you to Newbie 1119, feel free to ISO me in that game. The only difference from my play there and now is that I am much more focused, and filter a lot of my notes and thoughts out of my posts for strategic and sanity reasons (and I have some different philosophy on how to catch scum, but that's unrelated). I work very hard.

PeregrineV wrote:I liked the Junpei vote better than the Rat vote.

Unvote.
Vote: Junpei

Peregrine, this is where you last voted me, 154.

All of those posts you quoted (save 1) are from after this vote. The one you did quote you never mentioned was suspicious (or why it was suspicious) until just now. Also you've only been in one game with me (TV Mafia) so you have no grounds to meta me, you shouldn't have confidence in meta-ing me.

If you're curious, I voted bv310 because the game was dragging and we needed some stuff to happen, so I campaigned the first bandwagon.

Korlash, to be clear: You think V2V is scum because they seem to think that Newman is scum (or, rather pretending to think) because of a bad reason? I just would ask one thing before I consider voting V2V: How sure are you that V2V knows it is an inadequate reason?

Also I think Korlash read the game before he got his role PM, so he gets no town points for the extensive replace-in post.

@Junpei- It started as gut, then a feeling, then you asked for reasons behind it. Since feelings are not free-form, I looked for the posts that engendered those feelings.

And we've played two games, and in both your posting was not the same as it is here. If you want to link to some completed scum games, I'll be happy to compare your scum meta with my opinions.

@Korlash- Never lazy, which is why he is suspect to me.

Has Rat?

...

See i already covered this with my "undefendable logic" sarcasm. We've lost too many games to be able to actually look at Newman's meta. So the question is, how much has Rat actually looked into it. has he ever questioned the number of games Newman has been in, or if he has seen this before? I'm not the one making an assumption here, rat is. He should be the one you're questioning on this, not me.

Wait, why are you questioning me instead of him?

That seems a little jumpy. I call you town and you correct me and direct me towards meta... But regardless, I do not mean 'lazy' in the terms of you aren't working hard, just not seeming to show it. Since we play roughly the same way, I find it lazy that you aren't a more dominant voice in this game and that seems to be because you are 'filtering your posts'... don't get that, but fine.

Hmm... No, I can't agree with this assessment because it's too vague. It's closer to I think V2V is scum because he is pushing a case on Newman without a reason. He has never given actual evidence that Newman is scum, merely played up the fact there is no evidence he is town. They are not the same. Furthermore, his push on Newman amounts to no more than a policy lynch really, yet he tries to pretend it's actually against 'scum'.

So how am I so sure he knows it's an inadequate reason? because there isn't a reason in which to be adequate. It's a fake case and while town may not always push correct or even good cases, they never push fake ones.

Junpei wrote:Also I think Korlash read the game before he got his role PM, so he gets no town points for the extensive replace-in post.


Yes, I already said this... or at least I think I said this... I tried to replace in three separate times before actually getting in because I legitimately wanted to play this game. I'm not asking for any town points because I don't need it nor expect it. I simply ask that what I say not be ignored just because it is lengthy or some irrelevant shit like that. =D Other than that we can all get along fine and kill each other in peace and love!

PeregrineV: I have two scum games completed. In one I was very conciliatory and didn't commit to anything, in the other I was very aggressive and had an established read on many people and was a cornerstone of the game, much like I am in most of my town games. The latter happened second, and is Red Dead Redemption, the former is Magician Mafia.

Second, your play (and your meta) don't show someone who goes off gut, doesn't think about it till is asked, and then finds reasons for a vote long after the fact. Also your entire case on me is based off of meta, nothing more, and you haven't even seen any of my scum games.

pedit: I don't need to question rat because it is clear where the "newman should know site norms" came from: Newmans' joindate. It's too obvious to bother questioning on.

How do you know how I play? I can tell already that we play differently just based on your attacks on certain people.

I'll take a closer look a V2V in ISO to see what you mean, I didn't really take your spoilered assessments too seriously because there was not enough conclusions, they all just acted as standalone premises.

An arbitrary number = scum... No. If anyone should actually look into Newman's past games to justify their claims it's Rat. You letting him off over a joindate is dumb play on your part. He is calling someone scum over a logical assumption, if you don't see a reason for him to actually look into his own logic before pushing those claims... well... I can't help you...

Junpei wrote:How do you know how I play? I can tell already that we play differently just based on your attacks on certain people.


You question people regardless of what alignment you feel they may be because you are open to collecting all information you can. It's an overall... vague... summary of playstyles. It's why I don't get how little you use the info you gather.

They were all simple responds toward posts as if I were playing at the time and giving responds at the time. less about conclusion, more about integrating myself into the game and building my own reads.

After spending a year on site he should know that by now. His fear of a quicklynch is unfounded.

So the issue here seems to be that V2V said that (I'm assuming he meant "he wouldN'T fucking say), or rather implied that, Newman was worried about a quicklynch, when in his initial post he didn't say anything about a quicklynch being the issue (rather the issue is that people shouldn't be lynched for no reason).

I think we've already cleared up how the second point could come from town.
vijay2vasandani wrote:On the off-chance a quicklynch does occur a townie would be ecstatic because there is no town intent for one thus it is a chance to catch scum.

This bit by V2V seems odd, but I think it is an error in definition. If we look back at post 73 by V2V, the way he describes a quicklynch seems to imply he sees it as 1 or 2 scum insta-voting some person X in a blatant manner to get the lynch through.

If we adapt this definition, then V2V's reasoning seems sound.

The only thing to accuse V2V of is that he misrepresented Newman, as newman never said anything about a quicklynch; however I see the similarities between what Newman said and what V2V interpreted, so I will just take note of this and move on. Your case on him is:
Korlash wrote:V2V: Pushing a scumtastic vote and 'case' on Newman without actually showing evidence why what he did/said came from scum. Dwelling on the fact Newman hasn't actually said the word "quicklynch" as reason he should be lynched. Clearly pushing the 'easy lynch' on a player that seems incapable of defending against the shit attacks he is flinging. Needs to die, asap.

He did show why he thought it would come from scum though, in post 73. No where does the "fact newman hasn't actually said the word quicklynch" is a reason to lynch him. Explain how Newman is an easy target who is incapable of defending attacks (rather, how V2V would have known that at post 73).

pedit: 1. Newmans' joindate says he has been here for a year. That is enough time to know site meta, even I know site meta.

2. I use most of my information. If you hold grudge with any question I ask let me know, and I'll supply reasoning behind it. I like to keep people open about certain things because it makes analysis of people like V2V (in the manner I did above) easy to do. I believe that I asked V2V something which prompted a post by him which helped me see his thought process, but I don't want to look.
