Being unlynchable as town is just as effective as finding scum in the early game. And, for the most part, generally more accurate - I can be certain of my own alignment. I may read others wrong. I have the stronger position here; I suggest you check yourself before you wreck yourself.
No. Scum kill unlynchable townies. There's no advantage to your playstyle if your town.

So a townie shouldn't be super-pro-town or obv-town as town because they'd be unlynchable and therefore it isn't advantageous?

Yeah, fuck off with your blowhard argument.

in fact, I believe the opposite

but nacho isn't a worthless player when he's town, and for some reason this game he's playing worthlessly

do you get the picture? There's a reason that I scumread nacho right now

The quoted post reads to me "if Nacho is town he's worthless this game, ergo there's no reason not to lynch him regardless of alignment". I did not see this as another argument for why you read him as scum, as you claim was your intention. You also claim that your "vig Nacho, let's discuss other lynches" post was a reaction test, and that your intentions to lynch Nacho didn't diminish at all. Well there you go, you got a reaction. If you're purposely misleading, don't be surprised when people are mislead.

I checked out your ISO, and while you've certainly been single-minded, your play isn't actually as mindless as it appeared to me as I read through the game initially. After a certain point, all I saw was a constant chorus of "lynch Nacho, lynch Nacho" but on closer inspection I can see that your case against him has actually evolved and grown, and I can even see merit to some of your arguments. A lot of it looks like confirmation bias to me even at a second glance, but you've pointed out a couple of things that look legitimately scummy to me.

I think I may actually be coming around on Nacho. His insistence on voting Desperado is terrible. Desperado has rightfully pointed out that parts of his case are factually incorrect and what's left is awfully weak. It's hard for me to swallow that

this

is Nacho's strongest read to the point where he's unwilling to compromise on a secondary suspect. I guess that means I should actually reread his posts more closely now.

Nero Cain's conduct towards you I assumed is stemming from personal animosity, and struck me as part of a general trollish pattern. I certainly don't find it pro-town or helpful (or pleasant), but I don't think antagonism is a scum-tell per se. He's on my massclaim analysis shit list, meaning I have no intention of leaving him alone in the long term. My focus is elsewhere at the moment because he hasn't done anything that screams scum to me in the meantime. He's high on the list of people I want to reread though.

He should probably die. (In case anyone doesn't understand why; 1. there is possible SK in this game no reason to assume there isn't and 2. the situation in said game was a much greater spot to massclaim than here and 3. I had a solution to ensure SK issue wasn't an issue; the vig claims first or no massclaim)

Nacho is scum trying to push an idea he thinks will help his team.

The Oversoul case is pretty bad also; yes everyone could see its a fakeclaim but it doesn't mean it comes from scum.

I also considered Ceph to be null, so that part isn't exactly an issue. His read overall has been a tossup for me. I felt he had good motivation in his posts, but Jiffy convinced me of a light for other posts of him, which is why he's null and not one way or the other. He showed a distaste for fuzzy when fuzzy made the unnecessary, and rather opportunistic pseudo-contribution, post, which I'm all for. Whether he would have voted if I didn't or not, I won't know, but I don't feel the sheep is explicitly a scummy sheep regardless.

Besides, we still have almost a week, so we have time. The fact of the matter is, I don't think Nacho is a good enough lynch at this point in time. His beginning was crap, but I like his recent posts, even if I don't agree with them.

<<< Actually, it's over a week--almost two weeks, in fact. Deadline for D1 was set at three weeks, not two, meaning you've still got a week and a half (12 days as of this edit) left. Deadline isn't next Monday, but the Monday after that. >>>
Nacho knows that his more recent posts are better,
that's why he made them

but nothing in his recent posts screamed town
AND YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY NACHO MAKES POSTS THAT SCREAM TOWN

the entire purpose of his "reads" posts was just to get more townreads from people not confident enough to lynch him

did you notice how nacho asked me if I saw a "keyword" or something in his posts? He was trying to act like he was confident that I wasn't reading his posts (even though I've been reading every letter). The entire way nacho is ignoring the wagon on him and ESPECIALLY ignoring me
SCREAMS
scum-nacho, and the way CTD is misrepresenting every aspect of my posts screams scum-partner

There's a reason nacho's play improved (only slightly) RIGHT AFTER I started this bandwagon on him for him having shitty posts. ITS. BECAUSE. NACHO. IS. SCUM.

PS--just wanted to add this in because I was thinking about how shitty CTD is at representing me. If I was ever "backing off" nacho, then why was I so insistent that he be vigged? And why did I never unvote him? Oh, I guess I was never backing off him in the first place

So, in short:

Nacho's pushing massclaim, he hated it before as town, therefore he's scum
The Oversoul case is shit
Nacho isn't obviously town
Nacho is usually more useful than this

Let's deal with massclaim first.

So sorry, not claiming. Deal with it.
Some bad experiences with massclaims in games? Link them. Just because you had massclaims do bad things in other places doesn't mean they will here. Meanwhile, the preference for the "old-fashioned" way seems like nothing more than preference. We're still catching them the old-fashioned way, we just have a little more information to work with.

In post 243, Bulbazak wrote:Amurika Mafia: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=25487
In AMURIKA, massclaiming did only good things for you guys. If you allowed Gorgon and Peregrine to have a little more time before claiming, Peregrine would've had a Public Investigator claim which would've pretty much took away all chance of him being lynched ever. In True Love, that's a different mechanic. We're not claiming lovers, we're claiming roles.

In post 264, Nachomamma8 wrote:
In post 253, Bulbazak wrote:@Nacho: But the massclaim in Amurika also allowed Peregrine to escape being lynched for 2 days, because he wrote off any reason given as having to do with his name claim. He made it to Lylo because the claim gave him cover. The role and name claims became a distraction more than a help, and scum, especially Peregrine, were able to get farther than they should.
But that ended up happening because you guys started playing the "oh, I don't think he's scum because his name fits" game. We have no names to worry about here.

In post 260, Slandaar wrote:Why are your views so polar opposite to our recent meeting Nacho?
They aren't, necessarily. I became a little more favorable to massclaims with possible SKs after how that game turned out, though, but I've always been a fan of them as I said several times. I just didn't want to massclaim when I already had several strong scum suspects that were probably going to get lynched.

Yes, I will not claim as part of a massclaim. I seriously hate it that much. I understand that I may die because of it (see Newbie 1337), but at least that leaves something secret and unknown to scum (Tracey was right in this regard, and she should not have claimed during Amurika Mafia.).
But leaving things secret in a massclaim is not that important, especially so early on. Scum won't care about your role when they have plenty of other power roles to go through; meanwhile, the scum we can catch will be hiding behind your refusal. It doesn't help anyone if you refuse to massclaim but don't stop the massclaim; in fact, that's pretty much the most anti-town way you can respond to the plan.

HD, Mollie is town, so you'll have to put up with Majiffy.

So, to sum that up, Nacho thinks massclaim is a good idea and wants to know what other people think about it. Scum motivation? Where's the "pushing massclaim" that people (read Bacde, Slandaar) have claimed Nacho's been doing? I don't see his massclaim stance as scummy and "he didn't like massclaim as town before" is frankly shit.

All your claim amounts to is a useless role. I can easily see that there are two killing roles in the game after the first night, after there are two kills. Meanwhile, your claim is pretty great for an SK because nobody in their right mind will shoot you. Why didn't you wait until night to claim?

In post 473, Nachomamma8 wrote:
In post 470, Red Ryu wrote:Your assuming again and showboat foresight that you even considered that he was town.

If I lynch him, it will be on his play today not his role.
This game constantly requires us to take leaps of faith and assume things. When you play, you assume there is a way to distinguish whether someone gets a role PM that says "you win with town" from "you win with scum". You assume that if you find scum, you will be able to convince people to get them lynched. You assume scum will do this, you assume that people will do that, you assume that this game is possible for your side to win. You back up these assumptions with evidence. I making an assumption about the setup that SHOULD be obvious to most of you, Oversoul is claiming something that is completely useless to us. What use is a role whose information will be revealed by Day 2 (or even by Day 3 if someone gets lucky)?

In post 1131, Nachomamma8 wrote:
In post 972, Red Ryu wrote:Mafia would not figure that info out on D1 off their size when they lack to knowledge of what town has.

We could try and piece it by D3, but we still could lack info on how kills work, what if they are alternating with opposite scum teams, one gets it on odd night, the other on even nights? What if some of these were town one shots? We don't know this til claims and flip roll around. Off how many people die is not a surefire tell.
Mafia would figure out if there were two teams D1 based on size unless the teams are very uneven, which is unlikely because this is a normal game and not a theme game where powers are a lot better than numbers. We could probably piece it together on D2; town one shots don't really matter much since vigs usually use their shots early. If the only information an informed townie has is "there are at least two killing roles" and the other killing role is a town one-shot, then that information doesn't really help us much except to confirm the one-shot vig if the kill doesn't go through, which is unlikely unless he's an idiot. We don't KNOW for sure by Day 2, but 9 times out of 10 we can take a damn good guess, and we don't really need an informed townie to tell us that we're correct. That was my logic for pushing Oversoul; I knew he was lying, and, because I saw that it had more scum motivation than town motivation, I pushed him for it.

I don't even know why you think that I'm mafia for seeing through a fakeclaim and pushing someone for it; acceptable town responses are to monitor, or to put him under pressure to see how, if at all, he decides to retract his fakeclaim. In this case, Oversoul said "oh yeah it was a gambit that I did because people attack me when I do weird things" or some shit like that, so yes, I am a little hesitant to back down when until recently everything he has posted has had to do with reactions from his gambit that he hasn't really talked about or who's ignoring massclaim or gambit claim, which, if we're talking about "mechanical and fake", then Oversoul's analysis of things definitely seems like both of those.

There's this:
In post 820, Oversoul wrote:My claim was a gambit. I am not an informed townie. I made that claim because I wanted to see the reactions and judge whether or not anyone would jump down my throat to get me lynched for it and so far only Nacho really committed that crime.

As to why I contradicted myself, I did because I legitimately wasn't thinking when I answered the first time. I kept being vague or outright not answering the question because I wanted more people to react to my claim and unfortunately only a handful of players did.
Where "reactions" isn't really that good of a reason. Why informed townie? When
did
you decide to claim informed townie?

Okay, summing up the Oversoul case: Oversoul claimed informed townie. The information given was generic ("there are at least 2 NKs") and he promised more information later. He later admitted he was lying and the whole thing was a reaction test. So Nacho is scummy for tunneling this case? O RLY? Why haven't people flipped seven shits that Oversoul admitted he fakeclaimed? Why would Oversoul fakeclaim in the first place? A reaction test? Why are people buying that?

In short, Nacho tunneling Oversoul is not scummy.

Next, Nacho isn't obviously town (ergo, he's scum) and I'll go ahead and combine point four with this:

PS--just wanted to add this in because I was thinking about how shitty CTD is at representing me. If I was ever "backing off" nacho, then why was I so insistent that he be vigged? And why did I never unvote him? Oh, I guess I was never backing off him in the first place

Trust me, nacho knows what he's doing, and nacho knows how to play scum

Pride has absolutely nothing to do with it

Guys, excuses like that are scummy on their own. But when he simultaneously says that he's unhappy with his reads, but ALSO wants me to follow his reads?

Scum.

So... Nacho is scum because: He's ignoring the wagon on him. He's ignoring his main attacker, Bacde. He's not actively scumhunting. Well, considering the quality case built up against him and the fact that he'd pretty much caught Oversoul since that fakeclaim at Daystart, that's hardly surprising. He's not pushing his reads? I don't know, the fact that he's been voting Oversoul since Daystart might be a clue. The rest of his reads Nacho himself admitted he's not happy with. Why would he push them?

All your claim amounts to is a useless role. I can easily see that there are two killing roles in the game after the first night, after there are two kills. Meanwhile, your claim is pretty great for an SK because nobody in their right mind will shoot you. Why didn't you wait until night to claim?

This game constantly requires us to take leaps of faith and assume things. When you play, you assume there is a way to distinguish whether someone gets a role PM that says "you win with town" from "you win with scum". You assume that if you find scum, you will be able to convince people to get them lynched. You assume scum will do this, you assume that people will do that, you assume that this game is possible for your side to win. You back up these assumptions with evidence. I making an assumption about the setup that SHOULD be obvious to most of you, Oversoul is claiming something that is completely useless to us. What use is a role whose information will be revealed by Day 2 (or even by Day 3 if someone gets lucky)?

In post 1169, Nachomamma8 wrote:Mac seems town so far. There's not a whole lot pointing either way, but I like his interactions with fuzzy so far; fuzzy is a player that's pretty hard to nail down, and Mac has been aggressively attacking him, trying to get something out of it. I also thought the point made in #746 was pretty good.

CTD also seems fairly town so far, although his reasons for being town are a hell of a lot easier to explain. I've seen him push the massclaim idea before as scum, and this is a different beast entirely. I like that he followed up on it after I started easing up a lot (mostly his analysis), and the way his townread on me formed and then weakened a little bit was extremely transparent and townish. He was willing to defend his idea when he got a little traction, and when that traction ran out, he still found something more from it. He also easily found other things to look at and didn't stall in coming up with scumreads and townreads, regardless of his massclaiming shenanigans. He's probably town.

Cephrir's sort of gotten railroaded into defending me a couple of times, but has maintained sufficient paranoia of me the entire game. I like that because it weakens the wagon and weakens the claim on the wagon, but doesn't mean that he actually gains any cred for defending me. His attack on Thor for being overaggressive seemed a little strange, but it was a fair attack considering his mindset, and his progression from Thor to Oversoul was pretty genuine. His mid-back off from B&B seemed fairly town motivated; he was comfortable in arguing with them, but held back a little when the argument pretty much became a semantics fight. His response to B&B accusing him of having unexplained townreads was the reads list in #797, which is a fitting response to the interaction and seemed more like a "screw you" townie response than scum under pressure in the least bit, considering he wasn't under a lot of pressure and could've easily dismissed B&B or bought time by telling them to explain townreads first. Overall, fairly town.

DLG asking me if I still had an early townread on Arc before voting her was sort of strange. It was an early vote and he didn't really have any other suspects, so seeking my approval before making a vote, whether he has me as a townread or not, seems like excessive caution. The attack on ArcAngel lacked a lot as well; I don't mind attacks on someone for not scumhunting, but attacking her for spending no time to seek reasons behind why massclaim is a bad idea, or attacking her because she's posting nothing more than a compliment to the mod... that seems pretty opportunistic. His townreads disappearing on B&B and I seem like they are going away for trivial reasons, but worse is the Bulbazak scumread which comes out of nowhere that he never explains. CTD has a really good point about at the bottom of #957.

Nero Cain is trolling most of the time. Then he latched onto the third party thing, then he made fun of mollie, then he tried to bring as much attention to the situation as possible. It doesn't really seem like a particular strong scum strategy, but I sort of liked that he made an attempt to read the people he was pushing policy lynches on and is pushing a real life scumread instead of the people he generally finds scummy anyways. Town.

I seem to be pretty good at reading Bacde most days. He's probably town again.

In post 1263, Nachomamma8 wrote:Red Ryu's logic in voting me is... weird, but the rest of his posting isn't that bad. The way he's posting the case on me with the whole "he deliberately refused to even consider OS as town", frustration when arguing with Bulbazak, seems fairly genuine, especially since he continues to push me after Oversoul outed as a liar. I don't like how he's so completely and thoroughly tunneling on me in a way similar to Bacde; I would like him to give reads on other people as well.

Syryana read isn't so developed yet, although if I was forced to make a call, I'd lean town. I think that the waffling on me midgame after buddying me so hard was fairly genuine, though; it seems like a waste to butter me up so much and then stab me in the back three posts later if his aim was to get me on his side.

Desperado's early posting hurts a fair bit. Vaguely supports massclaim, sort of talks to B&B about the Nero = indy read everyone was talking about, small attack on Ryu. His first significant anything is his attack on DLG, which is a location I like, but then the whole accusation of "DLG isn't scumhunting and is being a hypocrite for expecting AA9 to scumhunt when he is not" sort of fell flat; he said DLG's townreads were surface and not good enough, but they were still townreads. It was still scumhunting, whether it was fake scumhunting or real scumhunting. Then, DLG posts a bunch while he's typing the case, Desp acknowledges as much, then posts 10 minutes later that "no, not good" while posting other things at the same time, which seems like he just waited a little while but never actually read any of DLG's posting unless he's a god of speedreading or some shit. His hop onto my wagon is awkward and doesn't have anything in his ISO hinting at it, so that will have to be explained later. Scumread.

Baby Spice has been lurking like hell, for one. Her excuse of "worrying about games that is endgaming" shows me that she's lurking and is conscious of it, but the rest of her play says that she's pretty okay with lurking hard as shit. I hate the "wall battle doesn't look like town v town but B&B is scum" bit, and she tosses out reads so randomly that I can't really see a thought process behind any of it. Lean scum, but not heavily.

I don't understand why it took Slandaar so long to start attacking me based on massclaim discrepancies, considering he brought it up early then sort of postured for a while, then jumped on my wagon when it started to gain momentum. His posting elsewhere has been just weak as shit; he's thrown out a few random reads, but he took FOREVER to vote for some reason and he's probably scum.

Depends on what you're looking for, I guess. I might be different, but I focus a hell of a lot closer on suspect's posting than everyone else, and reading DGB's post would take a little longer than that for me.

Nacho claimed he was gonna lynch Oversoul because on the sole fact, he claimed informed townie and said there were two killing roles in them game.

He said the information was not possible and useless.

It should be quite the opposite, but if the possibility of him thinking this as town and just focusing hard on this is up think again.

He never tried to consider intent or alignment with this, he admitted this when I pressed him on this. He never tried to consider or ask Oversoul past this, he stuff and sat on him all phase. He has not tried to get over it either, he has been sitting on that claim being the scummiest thing on earth and refuses to consider other possibilities here.

Again, he is not trying to hunt scum, he is trying to force a lynch to get a lynch.

That is scum intent.

No they really wouldn't.

Scum may have an information advantage but they do not know everything town or potentially other factions have.
that fact remains Nacho did not have this knowledge at the time that OS was lying
so his reactions are still legitimate tells.

And no, we won't know about the kills til we know at end game. If anyone tries to say they know how many people can kill by D2 they should go back to playing newbies. You can't ignore other possibilities, even more so in a game this large.

Nacho did infact say
he did not believe his role was legit with that info, which I made the error of posting and you thankfully keep ignoring like an idiot.

He pushed it that far off a nulltell,
when he had no knowledge that his info was not legitimate, that he refused to consider OS was town at all.

The bolded is my biggest issue, town does not do that so easily. Especially just because he claimed informed townie, otherwise he would have unvoted or at least said it was a possibility. The fact is he never did this.

No no no no no no no NONONONONONONO. Like, this is MisRepNachoRUs here. Still ignoring OS's admission, still ignoring Bacde tunneling Nacho.

Let's look at what Red has done this game. Defended Oversoul, tunneled Nacho, attempted to direct night actions and.... that's it. He defends OS from Nacho's initial onslaught, then forgoes the direct defense in favor of chainsawing Nacho. Claims to think Nacho is scum because he never considered OS might be town, even though Nacho says otherwise. Scummier yet, he continues to tunnel Nacho

even after Oversoul admits the lie

. He still has yet to even talk about OS' admission but continues to tunnel Nacho. He also ignores other people (e.g. Bacde) tunneling Nacho even when Nacho's tunneling of OS is one of the main points behind his(Red's) case that Nacho is scum. Red's only other mention of someone that remotely approaches a scumread is Nero Cain which only came up due to Red's attempted direction of the cop's target.

Comprehensive list of reads, with reasons. Now.

Moving right along to Oversoul.

Welp, OS's fakeclaim has been beaten to death, so I'm not going to go over it again. It was fake, he claims it was a reaction test, I don't believe him, moving onward. Let's look at other things he's done instead.

Actually, on second ISO, Oversoul hasn't actually done anything not related to his fakeclaim. He has a couple of token sentences playing with people but by and large his entire ISO deals with his gambit/fakeclaim. So, since he did all that for a reaction test he must have some amazing results, right? Commented my reactions to/analysis of his results

like so

Interesting. Why is this categorized as such? What do you get out of this?

I'd like the people in the ignored section to explain why they didn't comment on the mass claim.

I'd like to know why Bulbazak and Sry were okay with voting the same wagon that I was voting, despite thinking that I was scum for my claim.

This game has multiple scum. I've no problem helping you bus a buddy. What's your point?

Looking at Fuzzy's early early game posts I don't really think he is town. Looking at his activity after the early early game it gets mildly better but not enough to warrant a town read without extensive meta; he doesn't really seem to be scumhunting either. I question, sternly (yes I am looking at you), where the AK hydra got that town read on fuzzy.

If you are curious as to why I don't think fuzzy is town it is for posts like these

His iso is notably void of any scumhunting whatsoever.

Welcome to fuzzyville, we hope you enjoy your stay.

Upon my reskim (yes I stupidly went page by page instead of iso, I don't know why) of the thread I didn't realize that the support for my slot mainly came from one player, Arcangel. I had not realized how much she was buddying me and calling my wagon bad.
Not to mention she expressed the newb scum fear of "that wagon grew fast, careful of quicklynch!" that I think is typical of newer players still working out the kinks on how to play scum.

I can't read Arc for shit either way, but that is just something I want others to note as it took me by surprise.

It bugs you that she's buddying you like she is, and you still can't decide on her alignment?

I guess I over exaggerated my "support" for the claim when answering CTD mainly because of this fact, but I didn't get as much heat for it as I would like.
I blame the fact that some players were slow starters. Even then, some players, Seanald for example, did go back and comment on it whereas others simply completely ignored it. Some were even close in proximity (by page) to the claim itself, such as Slandaar.

I was under the impression you fakeclaimed in part to kill support for the massclaim. What?

"He agrees with me": Not a towntell since ever.
I am also interested in Cephrir since he has acted awkwardly with regards to my wagon.
He votes me after attacking my reasoning for the claim and similarly parroting Nacho's reasoning that the town would have the information my Informed status would give them.

Then in the very next post he makes, he considers the possibility that what I said was true, but he views it in a skeptical manner as if he *doesn't* think there are going to be multiple killers. He uses the potential for multiple killers as a way to fence sit on the overall idea of a massclaim in general.

In post 242, Cephrir wrote:If there are indeed multiple killers in the game, massclaim could lose us a lot of PRs quickly. But it might also result in said killers killing each other more. Conflicted. I do think mods generally account for the possibility, and there were, after all, a million reviewers.
Not to mention he parrots information that *I* said when referring to the fact that "a million reviewers" reviewed the game.

Here he legitimately believes the claim despite everything saying that it influenced his decision to be against the mass claim in general.
If he believes it, his reasoning for the vote on me doesn't apply anymore. Why does he continue to vote me then at this point in the game?

So, you've said all this stuff about Cephrir, what do you think about him? What point were you making? Is he scum, town, indie, jester, what?

Here he only votes BatB because of Om the Destroyer's prompting even after stating they had just made his scumlist and that their reasoning for the town list is self centered.

That doesn't look like a townie thought process at all in my opinion especially considering he then explains the reasoning behind his vote without ever so much as attempting to do that with my wagon.

---

Red Ryu wagon, I ... don't know why I voted Ryu when the game started. I think it was something that I thought was odd during pregame but I can't be certain. I honestly don't remember.

Why don't you try ISOing Red, that might help.

Red Ryu seems to legitimately believe in my claim asking for further clarification on it as if there was information to be gathered from it.

Yeah, he believes so passionately, he even disregards your admission it was fake. Why not pursue that?

Tid bit, I have actually seen Red Ryu play on his home forum. I dabbled a bit there and Ryu is a moderator. I didn't remember this until he linked back to it. I considered Ryu to be a good player there but his play here just seems different, almost dumber (I don't mean this an insult Ryu). It doesn't seem like he realizes things that I think he should be.

Irrelevant. Why aren't you going after Red?

I think his response to Nacho in 423 is fairly town. It has that townie bravado at the end and shows continued to support for the claim on the basis of the claim itself.

I guess this is also where I get I impression that I had a lot of support because Ryu is supporting me a lot like Arc. I hadn't noticed that.

Admittedly not much. I hadn't really put much thought into this game other than the reads that I felt while the gambit was still going on.

For posterity sake, that was town: Thor, Om, CTD, BatB. Scum: Nacho, and fuzzy for their actions regarding my wagon.

Wow. Considering you talked about Fuzzy, Om, Red, Cephrir in your wall there, you seem to have a lot of town/scum reads for your little "reaction test". You read a lot of people you never mentioned, and didn't read half the people you did mention. Dubya tee fuck?

Well, those reaction results sure were interesting. I might have to read them again for giggles.

Yeah. My comments kinda speak for themselves. Summary of Oversoul's play up to this point: I claimed, I lied for reactions, I didn't get anything good or sensible. His reads suck(and have little to do with his supposed "analysis"), he's done jack shit other than lie to us. Definitely scum.

It's largely based on whether or not people agree with me, yes. Because I am town. Ergo if you agree with me, you're likely town.

Slandaar's rather brief post including you and Fuzzy as scumreads and his strong stance against the massclaim make him town.
AA9's reaction to the Oversoul wagon makes her town.
"Largely based on" agreeing with you, plus:
Slaandar: A detailed description of what he agreed with you about. Great!
AA9: A reaction that I thought was scummy. Great!

@Nacho: I see what you're saying, but I'm not willing to rule it out entirely yet. I'm interested to hear his other information before we make such a decision, as it could make the role less pointless. If he does choose to reveal that there are multiple killing roles D1, though, it does potentially impact our lynch decision and therefore maybe isn't completely useless (for instance, "you aren't scumhunting" becomes a weaker argument).

Fencesitting on Oversoul (wants to hear his other information, without realizing that withholding that information is inherently anti-town), yet is certain that B&B is now scum (ironically for the same reasons he put Om on his scumlist before that shameless sheep).

It's alignment neutral.

CTD did it in the recently finished invitational NY game as scum traitor. However, he did do much more in my opinion here to try and get mass claim to occur than in that game.

Are you following that thread in MD stating that Nacho's summary is a scumtell?
I can't help but read CTD as town for pushing the massclaim so hard.

The existence of the MD thread makes the summary scumtell stupid.

Pointing out useless posts is equally useless.

Cursory reread of Nacho has me liking him more than I did before, so I'd like to hear what's so very scummy about him.

CTD has already established his pushing massclaim is alignment null. Why are you now townreading him for it? I do find it nicely ironic that his reread of Nacho has him leaning town after B&B bit into his ass for his incoming bandwagon hop.

A lot of the last few pages has been useless bickering I didn't find particularly telling. Quick read list (no order within groups):

Town

CrashTextDummie
- See one of my last few posts, plus his most recent analysis is really good. Though I don't necessarily agree with dispensing with behavioral tells, not that he's doing so entirely, the analysis post strikes me as town because it takes strong stances on pretty much the whole player list and is well reasoned.

DLG
- Liked his first couple posts a lot, like the AA9 vote, obviously actually thinking (783), and 764 contains the only decent reason I've seen for suspecting Nacho (Nacho still seems like an opportunistic BW to me)

Slandaar
- 663 and 692 are well thought out, but I'm not terribly sure about this read. Wish he'd explain his opinions in more depth.

Om the Destroyer
- Don't really get why they're coming under fire. Could be whiteknighting me a bit I suppose but, well, if so it's working.

Nulltown

Nachomamma8
- haven't seen any actually convincing points against him, just a couple little nitpicks that I don't feel like merit more than an FoS.

Nero Cain
- As I recently explained. Also, as I mentioned early in the game I find hyperaggressive play to be protown (both in the sense that I think it benefits the town and in the sense that townies do it) and this extends to abrasiveness.

EddieFenix
- 691 reads as town, and I would expect a new player to have made more mistakes by now as scum.

Amethyst Kitty
- Posts seem genuine to me, though could stand to be less cautious. This is largely because 'you've posted a good amount and not much stuck out as scummy'. Nacho vote seems a little opportunistic because I'm just not getting that case. People have made a few okay isolated points but nothing that really felt voteworthy.

Null

Mac
- I dislike 481 and 547 but not enough to feel strongly about you.

Bacde
- I'd like to see reasons for his votes but I get the impression he actually does have said reasons.

Red Ryu
- I've wavered on this guy quite a bit. Null for now, might merit revisiting.

Nullscum

Bulbazak
- Before the great debacle because I felt like his initial points against Om were not very good. Posts during the great debate seem genuine but I also skimmed it once they started getting into semantics. For the most part I agreed with Om more.

fuzzybutternut
- Appears to be making a concerted effort to be as useless and sheepy as humanly possible. I may have read him poorly in Amnesiac Mafia but at least in that game he was actually trying.

Scum

Oversoul
- Reasons for this have been stated repeatedly by others and I agree with Nacho's stance on his claim.

BeautyAndTheBeast
- I don't think I need to explain this one.

ArcAngel9
- There's been some discussion about her behavior being within her town meta but I otherwise find her posts scummy, wrt Oversoul wagon mostly as she hasn't said much else: early posts are really alarmist for no good reason whereas she is oddly quiet about the speed of the Nacho wagon, 363 chainsaw of Oversoul, 682 mass chainsaw of Oversoul, finally comments on something else in her most recent post but "this lurker is rubbing me the wrong way" is a mile and a half short of scumhunting.

This reads list is fascinating. His Om read sticks out in particular. Remember that time when he thought Om was scum? His reasoning for that was terrible: "I don't like how Om generates his reads". He makes a note of Om's white knighting, but continues to read him as town. Whoa, hold up. You thought he was scum for insanely retarded reasons, but now you think he's town

in spite of far more alarming things like white knighting

? His Oversoul scumread also is somewhat interesting as he cites reasons that others have already gone over. Could have at least mentioned

what

those reasons are.

I also found it amusing how he felt the need to point out my reads suck. Funny, considering he's in my scum pile and, more importantly, he's now put two (three if you count me) people on his scumlist because "making reads based off whether or not you agree with person X".

The Nacho wagon does have a lot of townreads on it, and the RR wagon really has the opposite. That's the most important point in its favor for me, but I'm still not convinced. What I am convinced of is that most of the voters on that wagon believe what they're saying, and maybe that should be enough reason for me to get on it as an admittedly bad scumhunter, but it still isn't. That's just not how I vote.

I was going to vote fuzzy eventually, but if there's going to be another vote on him then the second makes enough to actually be pressure. I probably should have voted earlier, I suppose.

I like all the replacements thus far but their day-to-day play will potentially be more telling. I always think catch-up posts are town unless they have everything ass-backwards (see: Syry).

@Mollie: I was saying it seems like a playstyle issue.

Hey look, he's calling me shit again. Excellent. He also doesn't appear to understand what a bus is. Understandable, since he refuses to do it (see his Oversoul stance).

Also, if Nacho vs. Desperado is not town v. town, then what is it, and what are their respective alignments?
Huh. I thought I had already laid out my reasons for that read, but I guess I've never stated them clearly. Even though I don't agree with his main line of reasoning, it's plainly genuine, I don't think anyone will argue with that. I liked his interactions with AA9 particularly and find he often puts my thoughts in better words than I did when he's not talking about Nacho. In my experience the overall tone of his Nacho push doesn't come from scum and he's taken a few inconvenient positions (admitting Oversoul could actually be scum, for instance, which seems detrimental to his argument, could have agreed to lynch me for a free vote tomorrow and backed off, didn't take the easy route and suspect Hanzo, and now offering to be lynched, which is something I think we'd only see if he were honest or bussing, and this isn't a bus)

Obviously I feel like Nacho or Desperado is scum (probably not bussing), and I haven't figured out which one it is yet. What led me to say that now is 1509- the first point seems pretty good and makes me feel like Nacho is using a double standard, but the third point sucks and is a huge reach.

Why isn't it a bus? Also, if you're going to say Nacho and Desp isn't town v town, shouldn't you at least have some vague idea of which is which? This fencesitting is scummy as hell.

Whew. Alright. Ceph is scum too. TLDR for Ceph case: he's been flowing with other people's cases. He never attacks a target unless someone else has first. He makes statements and fencesits or dodges when asked for explanations. His reads are not fluid and make little sense. He admits he knew Oversoul was lying and believes him to be scum, but instead pushes other targets (e.g. B&B, AA9, others). According to his most recent posts, he also suspects pretty much everyone not on his town list.

TLDR: Pick one of Red, Ceph and Oversoul. Then click reply, click vote, and type the name you picked. Then submit.

Happy to state as such

Nacho's most recent posting has caused me to rethink my scum read on him.

I'm happy on Ceph though

Mara, why do you think Ceph is scum? Looked at your ISO and you never said.

Wow that is a lot of misreading. It'd be sweet if people could actually read this instead of assuming Syry's case is remotely valid at all seeing as about half of it is based on not knowing who I'm talking about.

So, Om walks his merry way onto your scumlist because of how they made their scumlist and three posts later you're sheeping their read? That's almost enough to call you scum right there.

The first post you quote is referring to B&B, not Om. Om has not been on my scumlist at any point.

Oh shit, look at that.
I'm arguing with the part where you said Slandaar and AA9 are town for no other reason than agreeing with you, not because you refuse to give reasons. Though I can't say I'm especially a fan of that either.

It's largely based on whether or not people agree with me, yes. Because I am town. Ergo if you agree with me, you're likely town.

Slandaar's rather brief post including you and Fuzzy as scumreads and his strong stance against the massclaim make him town.
AA9's reaction to the Oversoul wagon makes her town.
"Largely based on" agreeing with you, plus:
Slaandar: A detailed description of what he agreed with you about. Great!
AA9: A reaction that I thought was scummy. Great!

@Nacho: I see what you're saying, but I'm not willing to rule it out entirely yet. I'm interested to hear his other information before we make such a decision, as it could make the role less pointless. If he does choose to reveal that there are multiple killing roles D1, though, it does potentially impact our lynch decision and therefore maybe isn't completely useless (for instance, "you aren't scumhunting" becomes a weaker argument).
Fencesitting on Oversoul (wants to hear his other information, without realizing that withholding that information is inherently anti-town), yet is certain that B&B is now scum (ironically for the same reasons he put Om on his scumlist before that shameless sheep).

Again, was referring to B&B all along. How did this not tip you off to that? Your addendum as to how I'm fencesitting on Oversoul doesn't make any sense. Like actually, what is that supposed to say?

I was stating a fact. Scumreads require reasons, because you need reasons to get anyone else to believe you, and the point of scumreads is to get them lynched. That's just how it works. Otherwise you're about as useful to the town as Glenn Beck would be.

I played in another game with fuzzy in which he was town just these past few weeks. Though rather useless, he at least appeared to be trying. Nero's pretending to have a PR only matters insofar as he wasn't posting content when he could have been.

I was talking to B&B. Again. "You're trying to look town" is a teleological argument in that it can be applied to just about literally anything and no one can possibly say anything to argue against it (aside from "nuh uh").

It's alignment neutral.

CTD did it in the recently finished invitational NY game as scum traitor. However, he did do much more in my opinion here to try and get mass claim to occur than in that game.

Are you following that thread in MD stating that Nacho's summary is a scumtell?
I can't help but read CTD as town for pushing the massclaim so hard.

The existence of the MD thread makes the summary scumtell stupid.

Pointing out useless posts is equally useless.

Cursory reread of Nacho has me liking him more than I did before, so I'd like to hear what's so very scummy about him.
CTD has already established his pushing massclaim is alignment null. Why are you now townreading him for it? I do find it nicely ironic that his reread of Nacho has him leaning town after B&B bit into his ass for his incoming bandwagon hop.

I was reading Nacho as nulltown before, reread, and my opinion didn't change. As I've stated before this alleged wagon hop I was going to make is a pointless argument, because I wasn't going to do that, and there's no way for me to prove it.

A lot of the last few pages has been useless bickering I didn't find particularly telling. Quick read list (no order within groups):

Town

CrashTextDummie
- See one of my last few posts, plus his most recent analysis is really good. Though I don't necessarily agree with dispensing with behavioral tells, not that he's doing so entirely, the analysis post strikes me as town because it takes strong stances on pretty much the whole player list and is well reasoned.

DLG
- Liked his first couple posts a lot, like the AA9 vote, obviously actually thinking (783), and 764 contains the only decent reason I've seen for suspecting Nacho (Nacho still seems like an opportunistic BW to me)

Slandaar
- 663 and 692 are well thought out, but I'm not terribly sure about this read. Wish he'd explain his opinions in more depth.

Om the Destroyer
- Don't really get why they're coming under fire. Could be whiteknighting me a bit I suppose but, well, if so it's working.

Nulltown

Nachomamma8
- haven't seen any actually convincing points against him, just a couple little nitpicks that I don't feel like merit more than an FoS.

Nero Cain
- As I recently explained. Also, as I mentioned early in the game I find hyperaggressive play to be protown (both in the sense that I think it benefits the town and in the sense that townies do it) and this extends to abrasiveness.

EddieFenix
- 691 reads as town, and I would expect a new player to have made more mistakes by now as scum.

Amethyst Kitty
- Posts seem genuine to me, though could stand to be less cautious. This is largely because 'you've posted a good amount and not much stuck out as scummy'. Nacho vote seems a little opportunistic because I'm just not getting that case. People have made a few okay isolated points but nothing that really felt voteworthy.

Null

Mac
- I dislike 481 and 547 but not enough to feel strongly about you.

Bacde
- I'd like to see reasons for his votes but I get the impression he actually does have said reasons.

Red Ryu
- I've wavered on this guy quite a bit. Null for now, might merit revisiting.

Nullscum

Bulbazak
- Before the great debacle because I felt like his initial points against Om were not very good. Posts during the great debate seem genuine but I also skimmed it once they started getting into semantics. For the most part I agreed with Om more.

fuzzybutternut
- Appears to be making a concerted effort to be as useless and sheepy as humanly possible. I may have read him poorly in Amnesiac Mafia but at least in that game he was actually trying.

Scum

Oversoul
- Reasons for this have been stated repeatedly by others and I agree with Nacho's stance on his claim.

BeautyAndTheBeast
- I don't think I need to explain this one.

ArcAngel9
- There's been some discussion about her behavior being within her town meta but I otherwise find her posts scummy, wrt Oversoul wagon mostly as she hasn't said much else: early posts are really alarmist for no good reason whereas she is oddly quiet about the speed of the Nacho wagon, 363 chainsaw of Oversoul, 682 mass chainsaw of Oversoul, finally comments on something else in her most recent post but "this lurker is rubbing me the wrong way" is a mile and a half short of scumhunting.

This reads list is fascinating. His Om read sticks out in particular. Remember that time when he thought Om was scum? His reasoning for that was terrible: "I don't like how Om generates his reads". He makes a note of Om's white knighting, but continues to read him as town. Whoa, hold up. You thought he was scum for insanely retarded reasons, but now you think he's town
in spite of far more alarming things like white knighting
? His Oversoul scumread also is somewhat interesting as he cites reasons that others have already gone over. Could have at least mentioned
what
those reasons are.

I also found it amusing how he felt the need to point out my reads suck. Funny, considering he's in my scum pile and, more importantly, he's now put two (three if you count me) people on his scumlist because "making reads based off whether or not you agree with person X".

Yet again, never suspected Om. I could have repeated reasons others have already used for suspecting Oversoul, and then you would have accused me of parroting others' reasons instead. I pointed out that your reads suck because I don't agree with them. I didn't label you scum for it, just wrong. I don't see what's funny about that.

The Nacho wagon does have a lot of townreads on it, and the RR wagon really has the opposite. That's the most important point in its favor for me, but I'm still not convinced. What I am convinced of is that most of the voters on that wagon believe what they're saying, and maybe that should be enough reason for me to get on it as an admittedly bad scumhunter, but it still isn't. That's just not how I vote.

I was going to vote fuzzy eventually, but if there's going to be another vote on him then the second makes enough to actually be pressure. I probably should have voted earlier, I suppose.

I like all the replacements thus far but their day-to-day play will potentially be more telling. I always think catch-up posts are town unless they have everything ass-backwards (see: Syry).

@Mollie: I was saying it seems like a playstyle issue.
Hey look, he's calling me shit again. Excellent. He also doesn't appear to understand what a bus is. Understandable, since he refuses to do it (see his Oversoul stance).

Oh, so you think Bacde is bussing? Lol, okay. And I've already cleared up my stance on Oversoul.

Because he's town and being wrong is not lynchworthy.

Also, if Nacho vs. Desperado is not town v. town, then what is it, and what are their respective alignments?
Huh. I thought I had already laid out my reasons for that read, but I guess I've never stated them clearly. Even though I don't agree with his main line of reasoning, it's plainly genuine, I don't think anyone will argue with that. I liked his interactions with AA9 particularly and find he often puts my thoughts in better words than I did when he's not talking about Nacho. In my experience the overall tone of his Nacho push doesn't come from scum and he's taken a few inconvenient positions (admitting Oversoul could actually be scum, for instance, which seems detrimental to his argument, could have agreed to lynch me for a free vote tomorrow and backed off, didn't take the easy route and suspect Hanzo, and now offering to be lynched, which is something I think we'd only see if he were honest or bussing, and this isn't a bus)

Obviously I feel like Nacho or Desperado is scum (probably not bussing), and I haven't figured out which one it is yet. What led me to say that now is 1509- the first point seems pretty good and makes me feel like Nacho is using a double standard, but the third point sucks and is a huge reach.
Why isn't it a bus? Also, if you're going to say Nacho and Desp isn't town v town, shouldn't you at least have some vague idea of which is which? This fencesitting is scummy as hell.

If I had to pick one now, Desperado. But again, I need to go over the argument again (because I skimmed it the first time).

Om misrep noted. It doesn't really change why you're scum, though.

@Cephrir:
Which of your scumreads have changed and why?
If there's a good chance OS is lying scum and you admit you think he's lying scum, what is it about B&B/AA9 that makes them scummier?

ISO · Post Post #1547 (ISO) » Wed May 15, 2013 6:19 pm

Actually, B&B and AA9 aren't really in my sights anymore. I have B&B as null, maybe nullscum, for now because mollie has been an improvement for the slot. AA9 is scummy, but I've decided to give her a pass for Day 1 because this is typical of her day 1 play. I've said both these things before. I'd say Oversoul ranks right behind fuzzy at present.

Let's talk about everyone I can remember saying I even remotely disliked at all ever.

Macslot- fine now, thezmon is doing fine.
Bulba- liked him since he stopped arguing with Om
Thor?- Had some slight suspicion at some point I think. Basically null.
RR- still a bit on the scummy side but he disappeared.
You- possibly the slightest scumread I've had all game. Still basically null.
Desperado?- this case is currently under review.
BS- still a bit scummy, needs to post.
Oversoul- currently in the back seat
fuzzy- I am voting this guy
B&B- see text of post
AA9- same

That's 11. I'd say anyone who hasn't had at least a slight ping from 11 different players by now isn't paying attention, and I believe that's everyone I've so much as commented "I didn't like X post" for, which doesn't mean they're a scumread.

I'm not sure what your case consists of anymore. Apparently I'm fencesitting while also having too many suspects for you? There's still the alleged Nacho bandwagon vote I was going to make just because I said I wanted to look at him again, and if that point makes you feel good I won't bother continuing to argue it (but you're wrong).

Syryana · Post Post #1548 (ISO) » Wed May 15, 2013 6:46 pm

You responded to my last point. Your most recent post proves my fencesitting point and my "reads are not fluid" points.

Your upgrade of B&B to null due to mollie is eyebrow raising to say the least considering the amount of time you spent on them earlier in the game.

What has mollie done that you liked (general summary, not reading long quote walls, spoilers are there for a reason)?
What's the verdict on Desperado (when you get done with it)?
Why is RR's disappearance making him less of a subject of interest?

And, most importantly:
Why are you concentrating on two suspects when there are (bare minimum) 6 scum?

Amethyst Kitty · Post Post #1549 (ISO) » Wed May 15, 2013 7:03 pm

No, I didn't

but for me, it's more of the fact that he isn't scum-hunting. Active, or Passive. there is some food for thought, but there isn't any analysis in his posts. He's laying out what he thinks, but not stating what it means or how it equates to ones alignment.

He's been stating that Mollie's post are townish, though still maintained suspicion on that slot and, as you stated he is going with the flow.

His list doesn't make much sense either. he placed Nacho at Null town, yet stated that there were a few smaller things in his posts that deserves some FOS merit. He defends nacho while keeping his distance from him which strikes me as incredibly odd.

he is also trying really hard to keep middle ground
