In mafia we call this "meta-reading' and I'm one of the players around this site that uses it heavily. Basically, you can look at a player's past games (site rules says you can only use them if they're completed) and see things that they do more as scum or town, and then compare that to the game we're playing right now. For example, meta says that self-voting for sakura is null. She has completed games as both town and scum where she has self voted or self hammered. Notscience finds that scummy for her to call self-voting a scumclaim when she herself has seen examples of town doing so: because she was the town in question!In post 78, cliche_guerva wrote:the entire game seems to be based on past histories with other players

Sakura, you have until page 15 to be obvtown.
Ffery has until the end of this page to form a townbloc.
And notsci, you seem vaguely more interested in this game than some of your recent finished ones. You scum bro?Have retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia. It was fun~- fferyllt

There's really two kinds of meta. Meta from games you've actually played with someone, and meta from reading old games to see how a player has played as various alignments and roles.
I find the first kind of meta (experiential meta) a lot more meaningful than meta from cold reads.
Cabd and I have both played other games with the SEs and IC in this game.
I make it easy to meta dive my games. There's a "Games" tab on my wiki page. http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... yllt/Games.Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

Additionally, ffery and I have played together as one account. Those are called hydras, and you'll see them outside the newbie area. We may use some in-jokes or refrences to past games you don't understand, so feel free to ask us to explain something if it's too vague.Have retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia.

UNVOTE: agi
Warning, I don't know if you'd call this a gambit or a reaction test. Maybe it's both.
I want scum to try to quick hammer (I am L-2 (L-3 after my unvote)). If they don't within the next 6 hours after I revote myself I'm unvoting myself because then it's clearly not working, or scum isn't paying attention.
Maybe it's both
I don't know how town reacts, but if anyone votes I vote them back. If you think this is OMGUS you haven't read any of the above.
Please specify what false positives that could interfere with this could occur.
I'll estimate its chance of working as 50%, plus or minus 10%.- Malakittens

Both scum will never quickhammer on day one. It's as good as claiming scum to get lynched on days two and three.Have retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia. It was fun~- Cabd

I have actually been blatantly ignoring cliche in hopes that he'd say something about it. He didn't, but I have a slight townlean on him because he kinda reminds me of me in my first game. Agi is probably my strongest townread at this point and so I don't see where the "lynchfodder" statement is coming from as only two people seem to disagree.In post 107, Cabd wrote:

Scum won't quickhammer D1, or indeed usually outside of LyLo. This is because that would be tantamount to a Scum claim and they would quickly be lynched the next Day.In post 113, agi102 wrote:Bah. Ok Cabd

That is the definition of OMGUS and I fail to see what any of the above has to do with others voting for you.
False positives: I've personally seen Town quick- or drunk- hammer much more often than Scum.
I'd estimate its chance of working low, lower now you've spelled it out.
