I thought it
might
be fake because I've seen that recently, and I wanted to be aggressive in discouraging that. TTH thought lying like that would make them scum, but I pointed out that at least the last time I saw a faked restriction it was a town player. How is wanting to make sure that players communicate effectively as possible scummy?

Bookitty wrote:
when CoA reiterates their suspicion of Krystal. There's never an explanation of why faking a post restriction in a highly flavoured game is alignment indicative, but that's mainly what they chose to focus on.
We did not have a scumread on Krystal at that point, nor did we ever claim to. That was TTH hashing out why copper immediately believed in the restriction, which could have been him trying to buddy with Krystal.

Bookitty wrote:
In we discover that CoA has a mild townread on Krystal despite the fact that he says two paragraphs earlier: "I don't know you well enough to decide whether you'd do something so horrifically anti-town just to make your role more interesting, and better safe than sorry."
Don't be ridiculous. Anti-town does not equal scummy. I know this isn't your first rodeo, so what do you have to gain from the false dichotomy?

Bookitty wrote:
I can't help feeling that no matter what I had done, CoA would have found a way to interpret it as scummy.
Man that sure sounds frustrating. If only there were evidence to support that position, it might round up some sympathy!

Bookitty wrote:
And yeah, I could go on and on about (she talks about and to Lynx too much and she doesn't have fully developed reads on day one) and she didn't vote town soon enough. CoA criticises me for not giving refined reads at a time when he'd barely given any at all. And then look at for a delightful contrast. Gee, those aren't skeletal reads at all.
Those are dreadfully simplistic and factually inaccurate strawman arguments.

As said, vote doesn't count.
Okay, you were assuming you vote on the wagon. I'd rather you not, since we don't know if you get scanned and adding uncertainty is not helpful.

copper223 wrote:What Lynx said about getting scum to vote for him, that "you will regret getting me lynched" was part of his strategy to get himself lynched, I don't think there was another meaning intended.

I don't buy the reaction test, TTH was calling me scum there.

Maybe, you'd have to ask her. That's what I gathered from the interactions though.

Bookitty wrote:To the word conciliatory: It's a buzzword. Including it in his townread of you indicates one of a very few things to me. 1) He's going to point back to that and say, "But I said he was conciliatory! Clearly it wasn't a clear read! at some point later 2) He was in a hurry to get his reads out suddenly despite a lack of interest in that throughout the rest of the game (he was "catching up" during the last flurry of postings, remember) or 3) he doesn't understand that conciliatory is a popular catchphrase for scummy. I'm dismissing 3 for now.
I am not aware of that being a buzzword scumtell. I've never seen it used as such in a game. I suppose it could be scummy if the player were trying to be seen as helpful by calming others without contributing, but copper's clearly not doing that. He's mediating conflict in the interest of making sure communication is clear, which is a sign of him actively trying to sort everyone out. Mollie does the same thing when she's town. Look at how he thinks we're scum, but is still putting in the effort to figure out what I'm talking about anyway. How does that come from a scum wincon?

As for your numbers, I dont understand 1. What does copper's peacemaking have to do with my read being clear? 2, it's almost day end. Now is the time to get reads out. 3, do you have examples?

Policy Vote wrote:How is any of this "actively advancing" anything? The examples you gave are passive as fuck.
She actively and loudly wanted to trust Lynx before there was a reason to do so, to get a townie lynched. She was handing out townreads like candy, to buddy up to people. She announced that she was going to wait before voting lynx, to make herself look helpful. She noted her 'confusion' over the factions in conversation with another player, so it wouldn't be missed. All of those are active things she's done to make herself look town (rather than scumhunting), whereas Brantz is defined by his lack of actions: lack of opinions, lack of pushes, lack of original content.


Missing setup things isn't scum motivated. It's just missing setup things.

I know, especially since she was scum in the game where she was so astute. But it would be helpful to scum to be able to lynch Lynx and then say 'Oh I didnt understand his abilities' if they turned out less than useful.

Policy Vote wrote:Your logic is beyond my understanding. Wanting to hear someone out is now setting up a wagon? Am I supposed to put on my hardhat and say "I think you're scum therefore I'm not going to even remotely consider hearing you out because I can't possibly be wrong"?

Yeah, seeing "i want to policy lynch X" and responding with 'i'd like to pursue this line of thinking' is opportunistic and scummy. I understand that you were assuming I had some kind of case because you misread my posts, but getting a scumread to push a crazywagon on town is a pretty big coup for scum.

Policy Vote wrote:Tell me more about this

TTH has played with copper before, and I have not. She was aggressively interacting with him early game. And she has said like, four times in chat things that paraphrase directly to 'I really don't want to lose to copper-scum.' Also, in pregame we discussed who we'd played with before and she had pretty specific analysis of copper's play. So I assume there's history there. You'll notice I left copper alone early in the day: I was giving TTH room to figure him out, because I am confident that she could do so.

Bookitty wrote:1. Asking someone to unvote to prevent "some VI to hammer to 'prove that they're town' and annoy the shit out of everyone." Not realising that everyone on the wagon is there by invitation of Lynx already. Arguing that Lynx should choose when Lynx HAS been choosing.

Second sentence has no relevance to the first. Third strips the context of 'catching up.'

Bookitty wrote:2. CoA: "I kinda have only two townreads." Then lists Policy Lynch (yes!) and Krystal Bald (meh) as his two townreads. So... Lynx isn't a townread? That's odd.
Why? Did I list him as scum? No? Then maybe the context of the post is relevant. Lynx's flip is assured and that will confirm his alignment. So no, I don't have a townread on him: I'm treating him like confirmed town. Clearly, that makes me super scummy.

Bookitty wrote:These two post excerpts are just awful, too:

[...]
This would be optimal for scum.
[...]

This would also be optimal for scum.

No, they wouldn't. I note that you give no support for your assertions.

Bookitty wrote:It's just pinging my scumdar really dramatically. I'm surely capable of being wrong, but I don't think that I am in this case.

Hedging.

copper223 wrote:Sthar claimed TTH had him as town at one point but he wasn't sure before and now they are both scumreading him,

I am not scumreading catastrophe. Please fact check.

Bookitty wrote:Post 559 is emblematic of my problem with your slot, TTH. If you look at this post, it covers from post 304 to post 494. That's a lot of territory for one little post to cover. It doesn't give me confidence that you're actually reading this game, and here's why.

1) That's 8am to 10pm on Monday. The kids have to be at school at 8, I have to leave for work at 9. I work until 6, then I have a game group that ran until 11. When I got home, I was too tired to read this game. I actually have work to do at work, and it is unreasonable to expect me to follow a play-by-post game in real time, all the time. What about my daily schedule is scummy?
2) During that time, the players in this game made almost 200 posts. I am not going to respond to all of them, only the things I have relevant comments on. If you would like my take on something, point it out and I will address it.
3)That's a 500 word post. You may need to redefine your concept of 'little.'

Bookitty wrote:I'd like to know what you meant by that, please?

I... don't know how to be more explicit. I though Lynx was a watcher, because he called himself a watcher. But I reread him and he described his ability as a voyeur. If he were a watcher, we could either force scum to trade 1 for 1 with him (because he could see the person who killed him and communicate that to us) which is better than the sensor ability imo, or he could live longer and make the sensor pools smaller and better informed. But that's irrelevant now because voyeur.

Okay. I have been involved in three games that you were. In Antihero Reboot, you
replaced out at three votes whining to the mod about how nobody in the game could read you, and called everyone in the game a moron before you left
. In Antihero Upick, you hammered day 2's lynch on page 6 without reading, then forgot to send your bodyguard action, and then self-voted. And then in Fei's game, you replaced out at L-1 as caught solo scum. While boo is correct that sometimes otherwise proficient people play poorly, you're 3/3 for catastrophically ill-advised play in games that I've been involved in.

Faster Than Light wrote:Basically, what you're saying here is that you want a lynch on me because of policy that doesn't make sense

Yeah, I think I've been pretty clear about that being the reason I'm not actually pushing you.
Faster Than Light wrote:, and also because I'm a liability to town--that's an admission that you know that I am town, essentially.

No? If you're town then IME you won't do anything to help us win. If you're scum, then you get to hide behind being useless and be one of the high-pressure choices in lylo. Either way, liability. Don't put words in my mouth; I don't know where they've been.

So, someone (copper? PL?) please summarize Boo's suspicions of us. Afaict, it's 1) We're suspicious of her and 2)I don't read the game while I'm at work.

@Lynx- I am now ready to end the day. You have my blessing to choose whoever.

Check my math, but if you self vote, the numbers are more even with the scum nighkill assuring that the smaller group has the least scum. If you're accurate in your townreads, we get [5t], [3t-3s] which is p good. If you're inaccurate, we get [4t-1s], [4t-2s] which is the worst result ignoring other roles. If you don't self vote and are accurate, we get [6t], [2t-3s] which is potentially gamebreaking. If you are inaccurate, you get [5t-1s],[3t-2s] or [5t-2s], [3t-1s] or [4t-3s],[4t] with the third being nigh impossible.

@Cask: I have a busy schedule as well, and I have nothing but empathy for that. I restrict my games to three at a time at most to ensure that I can keep up. This means I miss out on games and people I enjoy, but it's necessary so that I can give fair attention to the games I do join. I was assuming that a hydra would have a convenient backup who could fill in and carry the slot if the other head was busy; apparently that's not the case for you two. I can't control your schedule or the number of games you play, so using that as an excuse just feels like an AtE more than a reason.

It is not that you were catching up in long posts. It's that you were ignoring large chunks of the game while making autocratic statements about how things ought to be done. Most of your attacks on me have to do with the very early game or with comments I made directly to or about you. You note that I am one of the most prolific posters but you ignore a huge swath of my posts even though to you I am zee uberscum. That doesn't make sense to me. Why just give a quick glance of my ISO when I'm a scumread for you? (That's to TTH, by the way, but I feel it also applies to Sthar.) When I read someone as scum, I read and reread their posts to try to figure out how to support my case or to figure out if I'm wrong. I'm getting zero of that from you. Time constraints could be an issue, but again, I can't control that on your behalf. Only you can.

You devoted a lot of time to trying to figure out Krystal's post restriction. Now you say it's not alignment indicative, so why spend so much of your limited time to dwell on something you don't think is alignment indicative anyway?

I would ask you to do a search for the word conciliatory and look for the posts that come up. By my own search it was used as a reason for finding someone scummy in the majority of Mafia Games results that come up. I think other players in this game can also back that up.

I agree with the general sentiment that this can wait til Tomorrow. I stand by my reads list, but Varsoon's explanation of his absence does make me feel somewhat better.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

This makes sense if you want to be conservative.

Claiming CoA is scummy because they don't have Lynx as a townread is a bit of an oversell and a stretch don't you think? If CoA is scum why are their teammates bussing them or not defending them?

Um, what? I was pointing out that CoA only had two townreads and then gave a reads list that fairly bristled with townreads, just not committed ones. It's inconsistent. I think I gave plenty of reasons why I thought CoA was scum; the inconsistency was the issue there, not the "omg not reading Lynx as town."

As to the second question, do you think CoA is a likely lynch today, Copper? Why would you expect that in the current situation?

That's why I'm not even more paranoid Boo, it still requires the scumteam to reposition themselves and potentially be caught when they go back to townreading them, why not just townread them or null read them today as well?

There's no risk to not townreading Lynx since he will flip today anyway. I think he will flip town. I see no way in which Lynx asking to be lynched as scum results in profit for a scumteam. I don't see how a scumteam would need to reposition themselves after a town flip of someone they thought was scum.

I didn't think CoA was saying they thought Lynx was scum, anyway. I thought he was not giving a read or giving a null read on Lynx. That doesn't correlate with the various suggestions given regarding who should be on the wagon and how we should deal with that, though.

If you don't believe that Lynx is town, then any information gained from the claimed sensor power will be suspect anyway. So why does it matter how we arrange the wagons? If you do think he's town, then I could understand.

Given that Lynx will flip (and if kthxbye is truthful, we'll see the entire flip) I don't know why someone would feel compelled to leave them off their townlist anyway. If we're wrong, we'll know it really soon. But it's the implications of that read that bother me, not the read itself.

It's like the arguments about TierShift's alignment. If I'm wrong and he's scum, we STILL cannot vote him. If and when we can, things may have changed dramatically and my reads might have shifted significantly. I'm thinking he's town now and I actually like that he's going to look at the ISOs again, so my read hasn't shifted at this point.

I don't think CoA is going to get lynched, if they were it would be even more worrisome, it still doesn't make much sense for the scumteam to hard buss them because they may well be lynched tomorrow without any support.

CoA says he is not townreading Lynx because they think he is confirmed town, that's believable and you trying to make it out as if they forgot about him in their readlist because of some kind of doubt they may have is a stretch.

The comment about conftown came AFTER my questions to Cask, if you note. I can't process information I don't have. I was attempting to explain my thought process. It's early, maybe I wasn't perfectly clear, but I don't think it's fair to ask me to psychically detect that Cask doesn't consider a conftown person to be a firm townread.

As to the rest of that, CoA has set up a situation where 1. he's either confbiased beyond all belief (she isn't acting like she did in this game she was scum, so she must be ... SCUM!) or 2. he's ensured a one-v-one tomorrow. Since I'm town, I am not really fussed, but if he IS town you've already said you would consider him scum for doing what he's done so far. This doesn't sit well with me. I can see this scenario:

If CoA is town and legitimately believes the things he's saying about me (I have trouble with this, but I guess it could be so) then if I am the nightkill, you have already said you'll think he's scum. This hinges his alignment specifically on mine. I know I'm town; scum will know I'm town and would love just such an opportunity to link lynches of townies together. It's not like saying "if Player A flips scum, then Player B is his buddy." It's saying "If Player A flips town, then Player B is scummy for being wrong."

This bothers me quite a bit.

Do you think apart from the push on me that CoA is scummy? If so, why?

@Boo
I don't think anyone can logically say they find Lynx scummy at this point, worst case scenario this town lynch is not a good play for town and that is something various players are floating around, legitimate or not that it may be. The fact you were calling CoA out for not adding Lynx to his townreads is a stretch, independent of what they said afterwards.

You already asked me about my opinion of CoA and I gave you a detailed brakedown of everything I found scummmy or towny from them, why are you asking me the same question again?

So now you are worried about the thing that made you less paranoid about me?

I'm taking back some of the paranoia about you. I <3 this.


This is me setting up the mislynch according to you now.

You are harping on about right or wrong and I keep telling you it's the logic behind that matters.

- I think you have been wrong to include people in your town circle based on mechanics or PM tells, I have seen you (and myself) make this mistake so is this scum indicative for Boo, not much, but I can definitely see the scum motivation to do so and this part of CoA's case is solid.

I know CoA's push (that they now say was part reaction test) on me was bad, I think quite a few accusations against you are pretty far fetched as well:

- Reads being slim, that's selective scumhunting, Boo's reads don't look underdevelopped to me compared to the rest of the playerbase.

- Not having strong scumreads, that's not very scum indicative when today was all about how to best lynch town Lynx, again why Boo compared to someone else?

- I don't like the way sometimes sthar dismisses points with: this is bad or misrepping me and if you actually checked they did in fact say so (Catastrophe being scum, Lynx wanting to be lynched...)

Is it indicative for TTH to make bad pushes? Pretty much, so yeah, unless I am not seeing something about Boo, which would force me to reevaluate, they are more likely scum than not. The fact nobody else is bothering to defend them and that almost everyone is happy giving basically the same readlist is worrisome, but in this game you start with the most likely scenario and work down from there.

Thanks, Lynx! It was great playing with you :)

@Copper: I'm being paranoid. I know it. But if you start suggesting that CoA is town, then that scenario is bound to occur to me. Already Tiershift has made that claim and you've hinted at it.

I'll try to line out my logic as clearly as I can:

Bad logic is bad logic. You know your alignment and I know mine. You think that CoA made a bad and illogical push on you early on, but you don't regard that to be as alignment-indicative as his push on me. I'm the opposite. I KNOW my alignment so I know his push is wrong and illogical. Your case isn't based on YOU, it's based on me.

If his logic is wrong in your case, then I would think you would reference that far more than his logic in my case. After all, you can't be sure of my alignment. I can't be sure of yours.

If it's bad logic, it's bad logic. If you think that's alignment indicative, then you (specifically you, Copper) should have a point of reference in your own alignment that would make you certain it was bad logic. I don't see why you'd need to make that contingent on my alignment. If CoA is town, as you are suggesting may be the case, then I don't see why my death would be more compelling evidence than your own knowledge of your alignment in roughly the same circumstance.

Please ask if any part of this is not clear.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

@Boo
I understand what you mean, but my read on CoA is not contingent on knowing your alignment, it would reinforce it to the point I would have little doubt or force me to reevaluate if I'm wrong on you.

It is true I should have points in my case as well, and that's why I do ;-), I also already gave them to you but here they are again:

- I did not like her intro post, strange for TTH to be negative about playing with a lot of players which I believe she would usually enjoy playing with.

- TTH opening with a scumread on Copper makes sense for her as scum to do, she knows I'd probably put it down to paranoia anyway given our previous history and it makes them look townie for scumhunting, so little risk, quite a few gain.

- The question about Lynx (why am I not considering just awkward Lynx town) tells me she did not understand what Lynx was doing like I did (he wanted to get himself lynched or for us to think so) but still had Lynx as town, it's also the kind of read where I'm wrong whatever I do like Policy mentioned, you are basically saying it's scummy to have an opinion (and this one was also the correct one btw) on a player, it could also hint at her knowing his alignment beforehand and making use of that knowledge thinking I was pushing on him when I should not.

- Suspecting Krystal's alignment because of the post restriction, without giving me a reason for it and dismissing my attempts to actually get something out of them with my reaction tests, doesn't seem like the attitude of someone that is really trying to figure alignments out.

This is a summary of what I thought at the time for Boo if she is town, I have read TTH's and Sthar's replies.

@Lynx
GG, nice playing with you.

@Kthx and Catastrophe

Vote Count 1.11

Are the music of things—
But are modell'd, alas!—
Away, then my dearest,
O! hie thee away
To springs that lie clearest
Beneath the moon-ray—
To lone lake that smiles,
In its dream of deep rest,
At the many star-isles
That enjewel its breast—
Where wild flowers, creeping,
Have mingled their shade,
On its margin is sleeping
Full many a maid—
Some have left the cool glade, and
* Have slept with the bee—
Arouse them my maiden,
On moorland and lea—
Go! breathe on their slumber,
All softly in ear,
The musical number
They slumber'd to hear—
For what can awaken
An angel so soon

O! were there an island,
Tho' ever so wild
Where woman might smile, and
No man be beguil'd, &c.

Whose sleep hath been taken
Beneath the cold moon,
As the spell which no slumber
Of witchery may test,
The rythmical number
Which lull'd him to rest?"

So true.

I haven't been able to read in-depth, but if there's at least 1 scum on here, I think analyzing how players placed others on the wagon should give insight. What's interesting is that being on AND off the wagon can potentially out scum. Depending on the result, go after the side with more scum.

This could be an interesting night for scum, deciding who to kill. I hope everyone uses their ability(ies) wisely. Fferyll games ARE a bit... grim.

I'd love to be postmortem neighborized and continue participating since I feel strongest after a day or two, but that's purely up to that player.
