Does this not feel icky to anyone else, I am nearly certain that one of them, if not both are town. Okay, so there have always been two camps this game. One has just deathtunneled Ploben the entire game and derp around when talking about all other reads. The other side started with Kloben, ML bait, moved to Ranger who super isn't before having issues with Kuroi who everyone agrees is kinda shitty?In post 1465, mhsmith0 wrote:Yeah panther/ranger/x would def. be a tinfoil scenario.

Most likely scenario. And if it's this we're basically set anyway.

I feel like I will be in a better position to move forward when we see what Ranger has to say. Plus, whatever bad blood there is between Panther and her is obscuring things a bit too. I can see some of the stuff you point to re:Ranger, but it's certainly not a lock at this point. The surface-level reply, btw, is that those who are on her case/ whom she is after would look better, while those who support her, or who she reads as Town, would look worse. But we all know it isn't as simple as that...
You and Panther really do look like you are operating as a team. If you are Town, are you really that sure of him? Why/why not?

But it did leap out at me that my three top scum picks were the three most prolific posters in this game. I guess it leapt out at me because I'm pretty much ALWAYS the most prolific poster. So, I noted it, and I don't think it is a terrible strategy for scum: The proof of that is that nobody seems to be too excited about this kind of thing. So, if you, Panther, and plobemn ARE scum and trying to dominate the game narrative just by posting heaps, you are pretty much getting away with it atm.

I'm interested in hearing if you think Ranger would be bussed and who it would be in a deeper level reply!
) but scum know we are looking for it, so they might be on radio silence now. If they have communicated, it's prob before I posted the tinfoil hat theory.
But don't you think no traitor signals could be a sign of recruitment? Why do you say scum.Ranger prob wouldn't know who the traitor is? It seems to me the opposite is likely. Do you know more than you are letting on?

It's the sort of "town lean but discrediting" post that makes me think BTD6 plus at least one of Ploten/Panther/Dunn. Given that Ranger is actively voting ploten, BTD6/ploten seems plausible. I mean that's kinda blatant if so (though not as blatant as active chainsaw voting), but wolves are sometimes kinda blatant.In post 1232, BTD6_maker wrote:I call Ranger a weak townread despite disagreeing as I read her as mistaken Town rather than lying scum.
Many other points will come up when I analyse the others. I am preparing the analysis and will post it today.
PS Still working on my larger thoughts, but this one kinda pinged me. And in the event that BTD6 and at least one of Ploten/Panther/Dunn are together, it'd make sense for BTD6 to want to not be on a Ranger wagon but still want Ranger's push discredited. Waiting on other BTD stuff but that's IMO a realistic scenario here.
I didn't get it from what you posted at all.In post 1267, mhsmith0 wrote:Spoiler: Ploben ISO aka fun times with obv!wolf
VOTE: Ploben
His voting record is HORRIFIC. The rest of his ISO sucks too. This is a wolf. There is ZERO reason we should not be lynching him today.
@Ranger: I'm kinda nullish on you, dunn and panther right now. Dunn feels kinda similar to his general town meta (though I probably need to re-read at some point), and you and panther seem like the mutual "screw you" fight that seems likely to be the same alignment (MAYBE theater but likelier town-town). If you have a case on them I'll listen, but I'd rather see your case there first before weighing in in greater detail.
How is that the scummiest thing in this game, because I admit it is there but it doesn't really ping me tbhIn post 1294, mhsmith0 wrote:

As for those votes, yeah I think 509 and 999 are scummy or at least look scummy, think 684 is fine because I don't think mafia still push to lynch chip at that point in the game (and of course I'm fine with Ranger votes)
I still need to read your case on Ploben tbh so hold on
Also 684 specifically is bad because it comes on the heels of him basically accusing the entire rest of the board. It reads like "uh, it's these guys! No wait it's these guys! No wait, uh.... It's chip!" In the context of his ISO it doesn't read as righteous at all.

I don't see the obv!town bit from him, though presuming it's plob/btd as two wolves, there's not much space left for the last one, so in that world he can be pretty likely town by POE. One of the annoying things about being decent to good at wolfing is you don't (or shouldn't) get strong d1 town reads. I mean, I'm fine w giving him a day pass, but im not betting the game on him being town. If you want to remake the case on him being obv!town,cool, I'll listen,but he's not really a day one priority sort for me. Ditto rangers case on you/Panther. I'll listen but unless it's a great case, I'm not much inclined to push d1.
2) why would it be an issue to be null on ranger but push along with her? If I was actively wolf reading her it'd be different, but I don't see the issue w agreeing w someone who's in your null space. Especially early on, my null space is large, and I'm not worried about being on the same wagon as a null or a few nulls. Also, fwiw, I'm pretty sure my reasons are materially different from hers (her read started early, mine is more focused on later stuff).
3) where 684 is an attempt to help himself is (I think) that he's basically expected to be voting someone, but doesn't want to commit to a major wagon. So he just kinda vote dumps. Now that's a guess as to motivation, it could be something else (like flat out OMGUS) but what is NOT a guess is the apparent lack of sincerity to his vote and the reading process he represented. I'm less concerned w understanding exactly why he did it than I am in understanding that it's not a townie thought process.
this is a little much, I've never actually been in a pure town v maf sort of game before. The one game where I thought that was happening was the worst reads I've ever produced. It just doesn't really happen since its awkward and scary for scum to do. If a bloc produces a shitton of MLs in a row, you start lynching that bloc and then scum is in a bad spotIn post 1309, Dunnstral wrote:I think the people on the wagonright nowwould actually be town (except maybe you can still make a case for bussing from ploben)
I don't think the wagon was unnatural, in fact I think the opposite, there's an unnatural pushagainstthis wagon that makes me strongly believe it's town vs maf here
Also I'm townreading the people on the wagon too already so there's thatin the best scenarioits wifomy but this is weak play from scum.

I'm really glad mhsmith brought this up because this read of mine is out of no where and he seemed to be the only one to pick up on it. I'm thinking that's probably pretty town as he is paying attention.In post 1267, mhsmith0 wrote:1247 - no clue where that BTD6 as wolf read came from. especially with all the earlier defending. almost like ploben wants to distance himself from that slot or something.
Anyway, it's not going to make me look good, considering my stance on meta. So I'll hide it behind a spoiler tag...
Spoiler: BTD read
http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 1#p7957771
It's one thing for ploben to not want to talk about it before the game was over (though it was over 6/8) but btd flipped earlier in the game. And to even if you do buy the "don't let meta infirm the read, even silently, while game is still active" bit, plobens read fm btd came on 6/12. Ploben was still defending btd between 6/8 and 6/12, notably at 1045, and voted a bunch of people other than btd. Btd was also off his 6/9 lynchable list at 785. Again, it's just not a believable reads transition. It reads way more as strategic.
I suppose it's possible ploben pocketed btd earlier and is now trying to frame him with this, but it seems likelier that they're teammates and this was intentional distancing once the gig was up.

Cool, but are you actually reading ploben as town? Because this seems more of a playstyle accusation on ranger than a true AI thing.

snipping the rest...
This is the type of pbpa that scum do. Where they take nearly every post by someone and construe it to be scummy. No real evaluation. Just trying to show you via every single post that a person is scum.
Compare it with mhsmith's thing where he calls some posts towny and some scummy and then comes to a conclusion based on the overall body. Ranger is doing the 'every post is scum look!' approach and it's a scum trait (have been both guilty of it myself and have caught scum on it as well)
I mean, I DO think her "it's a Panther/Dunn/plob team" read is undisciplined, both because you usually don't want to try and catch the whole team day one and because that hypothetical team would be playing TERRIBLY (if this is the team, you know I'll needle you pretty badly about this going forward
). But I also don't know her well enough to know if this is legit AI on her end or not.
Ps not to be a major asshole about it, but if ploben really is your teammate (and I legit don't know what your alignment is), then you should have just bussed. Unless he's like a PR or something. In which case my condolences for subbing into a spot where you couldn't control the PR choices.In post 1390, Ranger wrote:

{ploben, Dunnstral, PantherPunt} have, consistently, throughout the whole game, been applying a double-standard, where in defense of their viewpoints they take one stance, but when attacking they take another. Dunnstral and PantherPunt are the worst offenders, but ploben has his moments too.

Unfortunately, it did get late, soI'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to finish these cases.I mean it got freakin late, and I needed to get sleep. That was, quite literally, theonlyreason I stopped.

If by this you mean "scum discredit", then yes. If by this you instead meant, "saying it's discrediting is scummy", then no, you couldn't be more wrong. Scum discredit. Town point out scum discrediting. I explained why those posts were discrediting, didn't I? If I didn't, I meant to, but it was obvious enough to me: the motivation is to shut down a town player's input, brushing it off as "wrong" and "worthless". This is what they've done.Broad 'discrediting'-type remarks won't cut the mustard, and even look as scummy as that sort of thing usually does.In post 1397, mhsmith0 wrote:Conclusion: we're lynching and vigging ONLY inside {ploben, kuroi, BTD6}.

I think the associations w her slot depend on ploben/kuroi flips anyway, so better to flip them first.
Her wolf team of ploben, Panther, you would be a really weird one (I.e. Super blatant working together, just for one mislynch you'd eat the pressure/blame for anyway). I wouldn't 100% die of shock if it was two of you, but all three seems really reachy. IMO guessing at a team there is probably the reachiest thing she's done.
I don't see much obvious evidence of her bullshitting the thread. Stone-walling at times, yes. Self-meta, defensiveness, yes. But active dishonesty I don't really see. I would much rather the players who are actively bullshitting the thread win their reads/votes (I.e. Ploben, kuroi, btd6), and deal with you, Panther, and / or ranger as/if needed after that point.
It's like playing in a turbo with vigs. Hero shots later, likeliest wolves first.
wtf does this mean. Nobody's flipped, unless your maf you have no backing to say this. I'm pretty sure I'm better than you at this game but I never say 'xxx is wrong' without explaining why I think it unless it is super VI shit.In post 1411, Chip Butty wrote:

Even if you have other scum candidates (Ranger, Kuroi, BTD, whoever), let's lynch plob and decide where to go from there. In particular, I'm not seeing Ranger as a lynch for today, so I want to appeal to the Town on that wagon to come across to plob (provided they think plob is probTown), and let's get this game going again. I agree with whoever said it is stalling. I don't think anything is to be gained by drawing the Day out longer.
mhsmith seems strongly Town to me, he is taking really strong stances, most of which I agree with, and seems to have his priorities right (e.g. plob first, don't worry too much about Panther v Ranger ATM).
I'm still leaning Town for both karnos and Ranger. I guess throughout the game I have been suspicious of those who were first on the karnos wagon and then on the Ranger wagon. I'm also leaning Town for Florestan, but I don't put much stock in his reads. Have some worries about Ranger, but not lynchable for today imo. I think Shadow is Town too.
Dunn, duppin, Panther: I waver a bit on these three, individually. Wouldn't be surprised at all to find one or maybe two scum in there.
Persivul: Pretty sure he is the Mod. So far, most of his posts have been VCs or responses to questions addressed to Mod.
Kuroi: I waver between scum (depending on whether I have a slot available for him) and not very useful Town. Agree he is shootable. Don't want to lynch just yet.
BTD: strong lean scum. Shootable.

If you have btd and plob as solid town please explain for both. If it's just the last three I'm not sure any of them deserve super strong town reads right now but whatever.
Also, to clarify, who is your d1 lynch pool? The last reads list you made was 725, how much has changed since then?Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

Just the last three, Plob is null at this point because there are issues with his slot and BTD is null scum I just don't like how far in the game you are planning this. Kuroi/Ranger for d1.
I didn't take notes this game so I don't have a readlist per se and I'm not in a mood to go tryhard right now and make one.
Its a weird line for mafia to come up with, like it would be super scary to say especially out in the blue like that, it makes perfect sense for town to do. I really think it is town.Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place.

Wrt plob, Is this about the IC thing as "super scary"? Because I feel like it's basically the perfect way to get townies to say something dumb, and viola, you've found yourself a fun target to "scum hunt". It works reasonably well as EITHER a town or wolf strategy and is therefore null (unless you feel the specific way it was handled was itself AI).
What's not null is the rest of his ISO. His voting record is awful and pretty transparently insincere and dishonest, he has a bunch of interactions that are awkward as hell, I feel like the only way you can look at his contributions as even null is if you give huge town credit for his opening, which I consider to be a major error (I would say that it can be EXTREMELY useful to a wolf to have a record of being attacked early on for poor reasons because then you can just turn the tables on your attackers).Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

And the only times I have seen anyone distinguish between a player and the slot he is playing is when there have been multiple players in that slot through the course of the game. Looks kinds weird here, and I'm not sure you believe what you are saying.-

Oh come on you've had loads of issues with the slot, unless you just want him to self-describe itIn post 1484, Chip Butty wrote:"issues with his slot"? What issues?-

I kinda agree with both points generally, though I don't necessarily agree that Flor always made that note appropriately in his mega quote. Of course, we could always just lynch plob and then we'd know if it was appropriate or not...
I don't like this line...itlepip wrote:Just the last three, Plob is null at this point because there are issues with his slot
Florestine is right about basing everything in an argument on one person being scum thoughShowhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0
Conq: you, sir, are great at being town.

Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.

Just seems like a weird way of expressing it, if he thinks ploben has been less than Towny.In post 1486, Dunnstral wrote:

Blah.
I'm not as young as I used to be.
I've been wanting to complete the cases for a while now, but between work, maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe fighting off sickness (it's hard to say? One of those "might be sick, might not be" things), and staying up late, my body's physically exhausted.
I can keep up with the game (reading now), but I can't give it enough focus to finish them. :SQuite the RANGE.Game History"Interestingly though, town winrate in Blitzes has been really high."- RadiantCowbells

1430 and 1431 are both scum posting for different reasons, by the way, but right now I lack the energy to go into why.
A few I haven't pointed out.PantherPunt wrote:You can't even give a top of the head example? Not one?
Most I already have.
They're in my iso already, in my commentary. So while it's true, I can't name post numbers off the top of my head...I can say that I've covered this. Not as extensively as I wouldprefer, but adequately enough.
I'd advise you to look at how Dunnstral and PantherPunt have been treating my case.Chip Butty wrote:My intent there was to warn scum that they would not get away with trying to blow off your cases with broad discrediting-type remarks.Quite the RANGE.Game History"Interestingly though, town winrate in Blitzes has been really high."- RadiantCowbells

Wrong, all three at once. Not separated, though maybe that'd have helped.Florestan wrote:Didn't you say that you did all of them except the one person who I've been pissed at you for not doing the entire game, and then you doing fucking ploben first.
The thought had crossed my mind, yes.Chip Butty wrote:I'm a little uneasy that the Kuroi push is a scum attempt to get a mislynch and then try to push Ranger tomorrow, to save ploben's bacon...Quite the RANGE.Game History"Interestingly though, town winrate in Blitzes has been really high."- RadiantCowbells

Okay, I'll get on it. I was going to do it anyway, but was waiting for the remainder of her cases. Since that now looks like it might take a while, might as well go ahead. BTW, this - "oh if Ranger is scum, town lost anyway" - was karnos, not me.In post 1496, duppin wrote:Chip, please give me your current read on Ranger. I don't want "oh if Ranger is scum, town lost anyway" read and I don't want you to rate 4 players from towniest to scummiest. Just give me your read on Ranger based on her play please.
Also, wasn't trying to direct the cop, as such. More just saying yeah I want to lynchthisguy, but I wouldn't mind if these others got shot, because it would help clear the waters a little. Prob should have been a bit more clear there.-

Great, so a ploben flip would be even more informative. And that is a huge "if" imo.In post 1497, PantherPunt wrote:if ploben is town, Florestan just skyrocketed up my wolf list
