This post comes across as really, really town. This is Hopefully Cynical's slot.

Dan... Don't ever post an ISO/read like your #152... ever. I realize that you put a lot of work into adding all of the links, but I dont have the time to click all of your links to understand the context of your analysis. Thank you.

Mario's in my null purely due to low content.

5 pages in and I feel like posting, deal with it.

In post 27, Sound of Silence wrote:I believe I am. I'm concerned that a lot of noise about hydrae in the game will distract from focusing on the entire player list, and I see you as the source of a lot of noise about hydrae in the game.
I agree. All that needs to be said is: "Hi, I'm HumblePoirot. To make things easier for me, I am going to treat each hydra as a single entity, regardless of the heads involved." End.

You don't need their approval to read them the way you want to read them. They don't need to tell you how they're going to use the hydra. It is meaningless fluff.

Your questions don't seem to benefit the town in any way and have almost no real usage, if any, in sorting out the hydras.
In post 39, Brian Skies wrote:
In post 31, Sound of Silence wrote:Brian Skies concerns me a little. He comes off rather agreeable.
This is only my second game, and my first dealing with hydras. I liked HP's logic in dealing with hydras, especially since there are so many of them (almost a quarter of the player base).

But I never said I liked his questions. They're pretty useless in my opinion and I don't see how they can help us scumhunt. After browsing other games, I feel like a lot of useless pages will be produced from arguing about them.
Well, this is basically garbage.
In post 50, FuDuzn wrote:Jesus Saki that it literally the worst thing.....literally, that is what I think.

And SOS, you said Brian being agreeable was weird......then said that it probably means nothing. So why bring it up?
She didn't really say that. Also I'm pretty sure this is ObvtownFfery so there's really no point in poking her with sharp things.
In post 63, FuDuzn wrote:Right so poking someone a bit about the way a post was worded is obv scum tell now.

I hate early game time, no one is catching scum from a couple posts, you aren't that good.
Oof. I don't like this reaction.
In post 84, FuDuzn wrote:Rail, explain my anti town intentions in my questioning? Enlighten us all as to how they are scum and not town motivated?

It is early Day 1, people were still stuck in stupid rvs and rqs or being overly concerned about the hydra infestation in this game, I chose to question a player about something that seemed a big off to me. When they didn't answer my question in a way that satisfied me I prodded a little bit.

Again, explain anti town motivation.

I will not back down from this and will question everyone who is voting me, and
those who are apparently too scared too vote me
(and that isn't a scum tell?),until I get a solid explanation about this.

Oh and if your response is that this early you can't make solid reads, than you are just making my point.

/pipebomb
I dislike this too, particularly the bolded. Apologies if I'm not explaining why I don't like things right now, hopefully I'll start being able to actually do that once I catch up.

Anything else, pretty much.
In post 78, Rail Tracer wrote:elaborate on why poirot seems rather town to you.
I think that his hate of hydrae from two years ago is genuine or else he wouldn't make a giant ranty post against it, and the way he's acted upon this hate is more indicative of a town mindset than a scum mindset. I don't really see an advantage as scum of "hydras suck!!!" either, so that's an added benefit. Why aren't you townreading him?
In post 91, Sound of Silence wrote:I'm really struggling to see how this raised a flag for you.
Do you think he sensed it as a point of weakness as scum?
In post 103, Dessew wrote:I want HC to react to #98&99 first.
Why does your vote need to be on him in order for him to react?
In post 107, Humble Poirot wrote:Wasn't there anything you could talk about? anyone you could vote?
We could have voted Fegelein again, but I'm pretty fine with my vote on him and would find it a little redundant if we unvoted and voted the same person.
In post 107, Humble Poirot wrote:You ommited SOS. Why? What do you see in us that you don't see in him?
My sorting process usually goes something like: 1) Read someone as leaning scum, leaning town. 2) Treat them as town/scum, get into their head a bit. etc. etc. I've played enough with SoS that I usually get a strong read from the first few posts, so the "declare town" part usually isn't necessary, and ends up being detrimental when dealing with her as scum (the more uncomfortable, the better).
I think this smells like town Nacho. It certainly doesn't smell like 572 Nacho, but that's not saying much.
In post 116, FuDuzn wrote:Humble, or I could be town frustrated that I am being scum read for something I don't understand how it could possibly be scummy.

If you want lunch me than get it over with, I am used to micro games where losing one townie makes a big difference, losing me probably won't matter much here. And then you can all focus on actual scummy players.
Not sure what to make of this overreaction. Could be town.
In post 120, HopefullyCynical wrote:Dessew and SOS, you are both correct in thinking I am scummy for not having placed a vote yet. I wanted to make sure I understood hydras before I posted further/made a vote. I feel like if I posted without somewhat of an understanding it would only be hurting the townies and I since I could potentially mislead them. That being said, it is scummy of me to not have a vote down yet. Thank you for the explanation of the hydras SOS, it helped me a lot. I also want to apologize to the group for contributing to the "hydra nonsense" but it helped me, so thank you.

So far HP, and Rail seem town to me. FuDuzn is kinda scum so far, especially in (116) where he just sort of gives up and resigns to his fate after fighting it quite a bit. Could be an appeal to emotion? I definitely think there are some scum on his wagon though.

I would also like to know why you voted for me Dessew. We have quite a few players not voting, why pick me?

Vote: Fegelein
If this is going to be your posting style, one way or another, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with a strong read on you. You seem very readable. My first impression is town.

In post 126, Mario and the Diamonds wrote:I read through the thread, and didn't understand a lot of the posts.

The only thing that stuck out to me was Rebel's attempted interactions with the mod. The likely-joking tone didn't fit in at all with the content of his posts and that struck me as odd.

And if people are going to be silly and scumread people for inactivity, I would assume that my name would have been mentioned at least once. For example, HC offhandedly calling Fegelein scum for "flying under the radar" is fairly terrible since:

1. It's an easy name to call out with lots of pressure already on him.
2. Interpreting this post, it (somewhat) makes sense to translate it as "oh, since I need to throw out solid reads on players to make people think I'm trying to find scum, I'll give the name of a player who has just enough posts for me and others to remember their name, but not enough posts for people to disagree with me on the inactivity callout. I'm not looking at the playerlist at all, since only accusing specifically Fegelein for lurking shouldn't garner too much attack."
3. Again, the lack of an insane amount of posts is in this kind of mafia environment terrible reason for someone to scumread another player.

To be honest this is all I really need to have a strong scumread on HC.

VOTE: HopefullyCynical

Sorry if you want to appeal to me now, but I'm most likely going to tunnel you for the rest of the day with limited evidence that other people won't understand, and rely mostly on my gut and what I believe was your most likely train of thought at the time of your scummier posts. I'm a tone and voice player; if it sounds scummy when read to myself, I will see it as scummy in its original context as well.

Good night.

P.S.: What do you gain from asking questions such as "Could it be an appeal to emotion?" rather than simply stating "It looks like an appeal to emotion."? Asking for other players' opinions on a potential opinion that you're suggesting but not adopting, rather than just running with that opinion on your own, is distasteful and, for lack of a better word, scummy.

This post was disjointed horribly but it's all I've got. Sorry if MafiaScum doesn't appreciate my schedule, which has me being slightly busy on weekends. Please take note of that, and if you disapprove, simply say that I'm scum and push for a lynch on me because I'm not posting every 6 hours. Problem solved.
What in the hell is this? Not sure if crazy town logic or crazy scum logic.

In post 152, Daniel Bryan wrote:28 what? I thought you pretty much agreed with what he said earlier. You literally said that when the opinion was brought upon by someone else (SoS) so Im not convinced thats how you felt at first, its like you thought Poirot will give an opinion that would be favorable, and when it was questioned you back tracked immediately. You are my biggest suspect right now.
Reread post #16. I explicitly (and it should be pretty clear; if not, then that is my fault) stated that I agreed with the way he was going to hold hydras responsible for their actions in the same way he was going to hold regular slots responsible. Nowhere in there does it say I agreed with his stance against hydras or the questions he was asking them.

As for post #28, I didn't like HP's reaction to Rail Tracer refusing to answer his questions. Some of Rail Tracer's following comments (not SoS's mind you), made me go back towards my initial reaction towards HP's stance against hydras.
In post 152, Daniel Bryan wrote:39 you liked his stance but you "never said you liked his questions" well why didnt you say that earlier? Your stance looked like you were in complete agreement with him. If you had a real problem with it, then you could have easily said those things on your first comment of his post
You're still misinterpreting me. I didn't think I needed to clarify myself, but after SoS's initial comments, I felt there was a pretty strong possibility someone was going to misinterpret or misrepresent me. You just proved that my suspicions were right.

Like I said before, I never agreed to HP's "stance" against hydras, only the way he was going to treat hydras the same way as any other slot.
In post 152, Daniel Bryan wrote:143 I actually have no idea why you read that game instead of just commenting here. Or just ASK him to explain what happened. And you saying all this is like you questioning his own stance on his own game. This posts in off itself seems like a bad discredit attempt. Why use a bad game? Because he had a bad game with hydras. Duhh.
I read the game because I don't take arguments at face value. There is always evidence presented in a case, but it doesn't mean the evidence is relevant or accurate. And I'm not discrediting the possibility of him knowingly using bad evidence to support his claim (this is WIFOM and I didn't want to mention it, but it's still a suspicion I had). The important thing for me to read him is to discern how much of it is him just having bad experiences with hydras and how much (if any) of it is him intentionally painting them as suspicious or directing the attention towards them.
All three of these responses sound wrong to me.

SOrry for the binary reactions to everything, I swear it'll stop eventually, maybe.

you don't seem to understand. it's the fact that i'm not reading anything he's said as alignment-indicative that's making me think scum. generally someone who's writing as many words as he is should be doing a little more in the way of scum hunting, and the fact it's mostly iioa is what bothers me. i've sene some semblance of what could be scum hunting in his recent posts but it feels mechanical and i'm not seeing the town you apparently see in him. unlike the emotion apparent in his talking about hydras, i don't sense any such emotion in his 'scum hunting'. *shrug*
Anyone else feeling Brian scum?
no

artemis wrote:^i keep reading fuzduzn's posts as towntowntown
i haven't been scumreading fuduzn since about p5, but for the purposes of gauging reactions, i've been quiet about my read reversing on him. i am a sucker for ate that looks genuine. i still want his current reads. and i think he needs to tone down on the overreacting because i'm getting sick of it regardless of his alignment.
sos wrote:VOTE: S.O.S
i'm not in agreement with some of sos's reads, and i'm not currently town reading him, but i don't see the scum in his posts.

is this just because of the way he's attacking fuduzn? what do you think of some of the other players who are currently voting fuduzn (particularly dessew and hc)?

hp wrote:You still haven't explained why I had to prod you for an explanation after you voted me.
two things. first, i only give reasons early on when i feel they're necessary. i feel i get more telling reactions from someone when they don't know exactly why i'm voting them. second, why does it even matter?
hp wrote:You asked more questions which I replied to (amongst a sizeable amount of non-hydra stuff) and you know KEEP going on about the hydras and pretending that's all I'm talking about.
no. this is just wrong. i wanted the conversation to die immediately and made it this is what i wanted. you kept/keep bringing it up. i only mention it later because it's part of what i dislike about your posts so far.

hp wrote:Explain why the scumhunting isn't genuine and offer examples of people with genuine scumhunting (and, if there are, people with fake scumhunting as well).
i don't think it's genuine because i don't see you properly analysing motivation. as a general rule, i consider people who try to read between the lines of posts to be genuinely scum hunting.

examples in this game? nacho-hydra, sos, artemis. to some extent, isaac. i liked mario's post on hc, too. incidentally, outside of sos i think these players are town (sos i'm thinking could be town but i have a gut nagging that's not letting me put him in my town list).
hp wrote:What are your reads on the players of this game?
outside of the ones mentioned above, i'm town reading fuduzn.

i don't feel good about cynical and dessew but i don't think they're scum together so i'm still sorting this out.

others i don't have a read one way or the other.
Reversal on FuDuzn is completely unnecessary. Zero scum motivation for this IMO, and I don't think a scumpairing of them is likely. Town.
In post 182, notscience wrote:VOTE: Dessew

HI GIF HI FFERY HI NACHO HI MALA (kitty in name obv mala)

Upon reading, I agree with HP's statement about hydrae (although admittedly I do it myself).

I'm liking Fu SoS and HP For town thus far

Fu because the selfdefeatism is something I've seen all over the place thus far coming predominately from town

SoS because they're trying to interact and get reads on people (such as nacho) that they want to get sorted out

HP because I like some of the ideas he's brought up, the whole "hydrae are harder to read tidbit" seems like a townslip. He addressed it early rather than save it for later and try to use it against someone which feels incredibly protown. Plus, I was like "omghao2readhydrae" my first game with one in it (I was town)

DB is leaning town because his wall looks really good, it has some nice points. There's also a town-vibe I'm getting, but he has only had that one post so that's why he is only in leaning atm. One pro-townpost does not a town make.

Dessew is feeling scum to me. He voteparks for a reason, says "I want to see him react" (which in and of itself kills all reactions) and then his reason- "I was reactiontesting." It also feels like he's more into calling people town and not trying to find scum.

Mario feels weird. He's not under any fire and yet "If you dont like when I post just lynch me" seems very forced. Like a forceful way of trying to say "I don't care if I die"

Kitty is leaning scum. It seems for someone with 14 posts they only have 1 townread and 1 scumread. It kinda looks like they're trying to buddy up to fu.

Saki is VERY SLIGHTLY leaning town for me because of the reaction test.

Brian is leaning scum, I don't really see any stances from him. He's discussing but not presenting any reads. Most of his stuff is based around hydrae which is weird to me. Keying in on hydrae and no reads add up weird in my head.

Rail is null for me.

Nachohydra looks town, based on vibes and points that were brought up that I agreed with upon reading.

HC is null for me as well, mainly because I misread him last game and want to see more from him to compare.
In post 190, notscience wrote:http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 4#p5295264

No thanks, I'm better at metareading people when it's a game I was in. Otherwise I just confbias the whole game.

His initial tidbit about "oh that was my other head" and all that. While I don't expect it to be an issue, my first game with a hydra I had NO idea how to wrap my head around reading two people at once.

In terms of the agreement it isn't just hydrae stuff. Saki and me were talking to nacho and cabd the other day about stepping it up and frankly I agree with him about not condoning Saki's behaviour.
So I just flipped through ns' iso in the game he linked

And holy balls he is so town here it's actually insane
In post 239, Daniel Bryan wrote:Well its ironic that Rail Tracer has been accusing HP of hiding behind the hydra discussion when the attempts at scumhunting are there and the only reason HP keeps talking about hydras is because Rail Tracer keeps bringing them up. Makes sense? Also, what is iioa?

Ik Brian, whats problematic here is that you initially didnt say anything about his hydra statement until people said they didnt agree with some of it, your post agreeing to a part of it looks like it supports the whole statement.

Idk what it is, but I feel like notscience is too agreeable here, Im getting a light scum read on his slot. I dont like his attack on kitty by saying that they have 14 posts, ergo they must be scum.
I think he may have a point about Dessew but Im having a gut scum read on him.

No, I have not. I'm on page 10.

Also, I meant to mention, I was beginning to suspect artemis by PoE, but I have no idea why scum would throw out a vote on SoS, especially without a really spolid case. Then again, it's not like there was any chance of it amounting to anything.

i am pretty sure ak is town, just very, very misguided.
It's begun. It's too late now. There's no going back. I have become the Rail Tracer!

Why do you feel the need to bring this up, after Ns's #231?

Explain how this affects your read on Rail Tracer.

Yeaahh, Im doubting my scum read on Dessew..
What about that sentence makes you doubt it?

Sound Of Silence wrote:He's expressed more interest in disrupting my game than in figuring me out.
I have told Nacho I was townreading you, he agreed with me. What disruptions are you talking about exactly?

UNVOTE:

I agree on NS being town. We are still sorting out Dessew.
HC hasn't posted since thursday, so is long overdue for a prod.

Can we get a prod on HC??




Stubbs.
Lotta useless questions here. I hate useless questions. Bolded is my least favorite, because the answer is pretty obvious... what part of a 5 word sentence? Um, all of it?

In post 224, Taskmaster wrote:Nacho what do you think of Dessew?
I think Dessew is town. I think that some bits of his thought process are awkwardly transparent (I won't respond to you because it would look too weird), and some of his attacks are pretty clearly geared towards scumhunting (such as his sorting out of HC), so I'm pretty good with the mole thing for now.
In post 228, Rail Tracer wrote:i don't think him not backing down means much.
Fair enough.
In post 228, Rail Tracer wrote:btw, what's your read on ns? is there a reason you're still voting him?
No, not really. I don't have any pushes I feel particularly strongly about at the time of my last wall, and I'm not an unvoting type.

In post 258, Sound of Silence wrote:He's expressed more interest in disrupting my game than in figuring me out.
I've told you that I'm going to be playing more transparently than I usually do for Stubbs's benefit. I think that is pretty much the opposite of disrupting your game, no?
I mean sure the meta might look a little different, but my play this game will be most effected by my hydra partner and not by you.
In post 286, Humble Poirot wrote:It would be cool though, if people refrained from giving this "be anti-town" card out so often.
I don't like wasting my time, and I feel that public shaming for playing anti-town is a waste of my valuable time when I can lynch scum instead.
In post 299, Sound of Silence wrote:Hate to be a pain, but I'd like to answer that question after Rebel accepts my invitation.

However, it's hard to gauge FuDuzn's flailiness when he's not posting.
Are you inviting me to a party??
Accept: Invitation
More uselessness here, but I do like the bolded. I don't know that I really see it panning out, but I do like it.

In post 63, FuDuzn wrote:Right so poking someone a bit about the way a post was worded is obv scum tell now.

I hate early game time, no one is catching scum from a couple posts, you aren't that good.
This frustration about people looking too far into things and getting convinced too strongly about things seems like a towntell in the early stages; not only is he failing to blend in, but he's bitching at others for trying to scumhunt and do things. That seems surprisingly ballsy from Fu-scum.
In post 84, FuDuzn wrote:Rail, explain my anti town intentions in my questioning? Enlighten us all as to how they are scum and not town motivated?

It is early Day 1, people were still stuck in stupid rvs and rqs or being overly concerned about the hydra infestation in this game, I chose to question a player about something that seemed a big off to me. When they didn't answer my question in a way that satisfied me I prodded a little bit.

Again, explain anti town motivation.

I will not back down from this and will question everyone who is voting me, and those who are apparently too scared too vote me(and that isn't a scum tell?),until I get a solid explanation about this.
This, especially the last quoted line, seemed like Fu was drawing a line in the sand, in a way, which reads as an attempt to shut down all the ridiculousness of the people posting in early game. I liked that quite a bit, and it has nice trajectory with his previous mindset in mind. "OH YOU FUCKS ARE TOO SCARED TO VOTE ME" is interestingly suicidal, but I see scum going for early ballsy plays like that in chatmafia as opposed to forum mafia where they actually have to take a step back and explain themselves.
In post 87, FuDuzn wrote:In this game it is more about the forest, not the trees.
I chuckled at this because of a conversation we had a while back where you said these exact words. I don't think FuDuzn as scum would be likely to start this type of lecture with you and I'm not really sure that he would really have a goal with the whole "let me teach you mafia" line as scum. It's not like he has a distinct reputation advantage in this game or something like that.
In post 93, FuDuzn wrote:Ok SOS, I [don't] get really get a bad vibe from you. Though trying to reads purely off of meta is a bad strategy imo.

Those piggybacking off of SOS's weariness of me, scum in there me thinks.

And mod, shut it. I told you I couldn't tell you what to do ;-)
Here, he backs off you (because he's scared? scum-FuDuzn hasn't been showing many signs of fear) and starts to look at others suspecting them. This reads a lot like he's sorting out his primary antagonist, and then when he's satisfied on that front, moving in on other people.
In post 135, FuDuzn wrote:To those leading my wagon, answer my damm question please. To those sheeping, I am getting ready to vote one of you.

If I am lynched, the blood will be all over one of the sheep.
This screamed town. The last line alone means I won't be able to vote him today, most likely.
This, on the other hand is fucking fantastic. Could be a well-executed white knight, but it makes me feel a little better.
In post 313, Rail Tracer wrote:hm.

Unvote
Vote: Daniel Bryan

This is a really strange reaction to "I'm going to post a case on Daniel Bryan". Why would you not wait to actually see it...?
In post 320, Brian Skies wrote:Here are my game notes from my notepad (sorry for the weird alignment). I still need to sort HP. I've been skipping a lot of his posts because of the giant walls of text. And I want to get this out there before something huge happens and I need to change the details for a bunch of my reads.


*I don't know if the early "hydra treatment" comments from HP and me are preventing the hydras from being
as transparent as we would like them to be. So right now, I'm giving them benefit of the doubt in terms of
lurking and general lack of content. Especially since they seem hesitant to post anything without consulting
their partner.

RT
- Strong townread. A lot of his early content revolved around hydras (but not because he wanted to).
Has been actively generating content and poking around the other players. Has been looking at the big
picture. I don't see any clear scum motivation right now.
SoS
- Leaning town. General lack of scum motivation up to this point, seems malleable, and I'm getting good
vibes from this slot.
ak
- Leaning town. I'm impressed with the iso given the general lack of posts. Has only posted a few reads,
but they don't follow the general concensus, which I think is a good sign. Has mostly been pressuring
SoS, which is good considering SoS was pressuring Fu and a lot of the attention was placed elsewhere.
RWaP
- Leaning town. I've been getting good Nacho vibes for most of the early game. The slot's recent activity
makes me lean town.
NS
- Null. I liked the catch-up post, even if it was done pretty roughly. Is willing to offer
information to help get a better read. I need more content though (previous slot-holder didn't
generate anything worthwhile).
HC
- Null. Newer player. Expresses many of the concerns I had regarding hydras before this
game started. I do think it's suspicious that it was so difficult for him to grasp the benefits of
a hydra without them being told to him, but for the most part, it seems genuine. His vote on an
inactive player seems like something I would do. He seems hesitant to take his own stances without other
people's opinions. But, I'm pretty sure Cabd mentioned something about a replacement.
Fu
- Null. Hasn't done much, if anything, in helping the town develop reads but has been spending
most of his time defending himself. Although I don't like his reaction and AtE, I do find the reaction
to be pretty genuine.
DB
- Null. This read is slightly biased. He was originially higher on this list. I liked the transparency in
his catch-up post. He also seems to be pretty busy. But despite the amount of content available in the
thread, he seems fixated on very specific, surface type issues. As opposed to my point of view, I
believe he has some misconceptions about what has happened in the game (Post #239). And I don't
particularly like Post #240.
Des
- Null-scum. Post #62. What scum content? I do like his reaction to Nacho in post #114. Post #172: You
got nullreads on RT, HP, AND me from all our content? There must be a lean somewhere. Still wrapping my
head around this slot. I'm suspicious of possible piggybacking and buddying throughout this game, but
I don't know how much of that actually points to scum.
Mario
- Null-scum. I'm not liking how he only offers an opinion on HC. It seems very direct. His iso is small and
I'm not liking it as a whole. Discounting the read because he said he doesn't have a lot of time. I need
more information.
Saki
- Leaning scum. I'm not familiar with meta, but I'm not buying "fakeclaim=town." Not liking the
one-liners. Asks for V/LA on #56. Possible lurking afterwards (although I noticed townies tend to lurk
sometimes too). I need more information. More one-liners and sarcasm.

HP
- Unsorted. After re-reading post #107, I noticed that I completely missed the sincerity of his tone.
I swear I read it the whole way through the first time, but I think I tunneled and subconsciously missed
the important parts (probably due to frustration of reading through the linked game). I also like his
reaction to my analysis in #163. He seems to be having some misconceptions and I don't know if they're
intentional or not. Not liking the reasoning for his vote on HC at all. Still needs sorting because he
likes to post giant walls of text that I tend to just skip over. And I'm pretty sure there's still some
stuff in there I need to either analyze or address.
I'm conflicted about this post. Parts of it feel like townie notes, but other parts are kinda... why-would-you-write-that-as-a-note things in the sense that they're general overarching statements about a player. Everything north of DB sounds like it could have been made up on the spot and doesn't sound like a note.

because it wasn't a reaction to that. i didn't care what rwap's case was. it had nothing to do with the reasons i thought db was scummy.
