But VTs don’t often soft PR, so I can see why scum would consider it an actual claim.

yeah, a PR soft is likely to be from a PR.

Still, it doesn't bode well that scum shoots the PR soft instead of the most overpowered role in the setup.

But there were two PR claims to shoot. Which they chose doesn’t really matter. But maybe they shot Cyan instead of you because you’re introducing discord into the town; they’re fine with you being ineffectual in the night and helping them during the day. That would make sense.

well tl look what pr they took out i think it was a very smart move they took out the doc and blocked the cop. in a way we cant afford a mis lynch today . after all if we lynch any no offince if we cant find the scum as of now the cop role is useless

It doesn’t work.

if your cop claim is really true, that means there is a 50% chance of a mafia roleblocker

In the case of a cop+mafia RB, there is a 50% chance of a doctor. Mafia probably doesn’t wanna take the chance of shooting you and have the doctor save you - in that case, there are two PRs alive and the cop got a check.

Mafia has setup knowledge that town does not - so on second thought, even if I do have a bit of a hard time believing your claim, I do think a roleblock is feasible
UNVOTE: lich

osuka, Cyan flipped Doc. We're locked into A3.

if thats the case whats the since of a cop after all they will just keep getting blocked. so even if lich is cop we teat them like just town till the rb is found.

That is pretty much what osuka is proposing, cyrus.

Oh, I agree, but you just can’t self-meta; it doesn’t work.

are you saying cyrus is scum?

No. I was agreeing with you that cyrus is town regardless of his self-meta.

Short intro: I haven't played a game on this site, or mafia in general in over a year (unless you count ToS, which I play occasionally) so I may be a bit rusty. I may forget some terminology, strategy, meta, etc. But that should be fine as this is the newbie queue .

In the interest of transparency I will admit that I have some bias when it comes to replaced slots. I usually feel as though replaced slots have a higher chance of being VT and non replaced slots have a higher chance of being scum or PR. It's not like I will hold this bias over evidence and reads that I gather, but it could influence my early reads or my thoughts on quiet players.

Other than ToS my only experience is on this site from about 19 to 13 months ago. I probably played over 10 games in that span. I think I was playing like 3 games simultaneously at once .

Explain this. How would teacher voting me get him lynched?

Town teacher wouldn’t purposely create chaos. Scum teacher would. People would give teacher benefit of the doubt thinking scum wouldn’t be so bold. The thing is teacher knows I love to fight. I love to argue.

Scum teacher knows to make that happen and hopefully gets written off as tvt or what you just did, scum teacher wouldn’t do it.

Here’s my issue. FACT. That was not an attempt as humor. Nothing about that post implies humor.

This means that he carried a grudge into this game, which is against site rules.

So I don’t give a crap if he’s town or scum. I don’t give a crap if I’m lynched I the process. I’m not tattling to the mod especially since he replaced out, so I’m just lynching the spot and eliminate the ambiguity. If you or anyone else wants to lynch me for this go right ahead but I’m not changing my vote until that slot is gone.

Huh? The only one I really saw holding a grudge was robbnva.

I actually haven't been paying attention to Robbnva, now that I think about it. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I find this slot moldy suspicious. For one, he's definitely on tunnel vision mode. I really don't see why a bad play history and an RVS vote are solid reasons for a lynch, and the way he tries to force someone to 'slip' makes no sense.

yeah this is pretty much why i won't townread him. I know he is just trying to gauge reactions at this point in the game but mercilessly trying to make someone look like they claaimed scum when they obviously didn't is not a good look.

Again, if you think he's scum, wait until he slips up properly.
Don't complain about his bad etiquette; ask him (or others) pointed and game-advancing questions, and don't just blindly insist he's scum.

I like this guy's posts. He is so chill, like a mediator. Idk if it's great reasoning but his ability to try and reason with someone that cant be reasoned with shows me he really wants people to think and gives me a townping.

In post 257, Adorable wrote:Robb vs Temporal looked like it was town vs town.

This is what? Like the 3rd person to say this? Why? No one is really giving reasoning. Temporal is playing reactionary mafia and everyone but robb is letting him get away with it. They both vote each other and try to make a great case that the other one is scum. IMO this is because one of them is scum and the more they can convince town to vote with them, less likely town will scumread them on the townflip. that's my two cents on the fight so far.

245 in particular, with it's ultra-opportunistic switch from Robb after I finished making a decent argument. I've known the feeling he might have been feeling as scum; wanting to get out of an argument because you know you're losing, and doing it in the way that saves the most face. Aye, I'd accept a Temporal lynch, but I want D1 to take as long as it can before we settle on any kind of lynch candidate.

Also, I want connor and Phone's slots talking.

this guy is so town

Sera Masumi's intro post #429 was great. And had a few shared opinions with myself that noe one else had brought up yet, like "I have no idea what Temporal is doing with his reads this game, they feel all over the place to me and honestly he's probably my best candidate outside cyrus. I'm really not getting the Town v. Town Robb-Temp reads here and would like somebody to explain it to me like I'm 5."
I hope Sera stays this active as the game was getting stale before this post and I'm hoping this gives it the breath of life it needs... My main qualm though is that she doesn't really give great reason for her views on Spangled, and they don't align with mine. And the cyrus scumread seems a little forced.

@Cyrus #430 what does your post count matter? You are a self-proclaimed spammer if I remember correctly. Yes you're active but you also contribute less to discussion than some of the others do.

But connor was getting replaced after making one post all game? The game was holding up because he quit the game and they needed to find someone else. Turns out Phone was basically the same way. Why is that suspicious to the point that you'd shade somebody getting replaced with one post that you didn't seem to find particularly suspicious instead of poking at other players?

Actually can we cut to the chase and have you explain why you thought arguing to lynch somebody being replaced before their replacement entered was a good idea?

In post 440, cyrus62 wrote:i dont see how spangled could be anything but town hes looking for scum and doing reads

Scum can pretend to do those things though? Phone gave reads. I gave reads. Everyone in the game has given reads at one point or another. What about Spangled's hunting feels genuine to you?

Everyone has given reads? I think maybe half of the game has.

I'd take a TL lynch as a compromise, but not a cyrus one. No way. To me he is towning it all the way up this game, and displays good reasoning and town-thinking in so many places.

--------------------

And that's it for tonight folks. I probably didn't even pay quite enough attention on the last few pages (16-18 or so) because I am growing quite tired but I did really like Sera's notes and agreed with just about all of it. I do really want to say that it's refreshing to see someone that agrees with so many of my opinions, but hard to say how much of that I should attribute to a TR vs the advantage we have of being able to catch up quickly instead of the slow game the rest of you were subjected to.

Again, I have still only read through page 18, so everything I have said up to this point has been based entirely off of those pages. However, here is what my reads list looks like as of the end of page 18:

[Town]
*covered in my recap above really.
*strong catch up into the game that shares some of my own views.
*eh i need more info because this slot could still be null if I looked at the ISO I bet.
*idk I dont have a strong case for this one. Think him vs Temporal was TvS though so that's my main reason to want to trust him.
*need more info
*too much of what I perceive to be talking to look useful, not be useful.
*need more info. why was he trolling if town though?
*Town!Temporal should know better than to have played only in reactions. Especially as an SR. I also perceive a decent bit of his dialogue as trying to look like he is saying more than he is. Sorta like cyrus but not quite the same. I need to sleep on it and maybe I can explain what I mean better tomorrow.
[Scum]

If I don't have to stay late at work, I should be caught up fully by tomorrow night. If I do have to stay late, hopefully I will at least get to page 30 tomorrow.

P.S. I actually forgot that I took the role of one of the players above until now (lol) so to be honest I was going to null read RedFlavor because I need more info but since I have his slot, I have to say I don't agree with the way he was playing. Oh well.

good now i can do reads took so long for every one to post so here it is

town
lich cop clime
cyan flip doc
spangled town
red null
rob scum lean
sera scum lean
me watcher
wenmester town lean
adoable townish

sorry to throse who replaced in i couldn't remember all your names yet but there is my read it took 16 days to get enough information to give a good read i dont just hand these out i study carefully and will do cases on why i find you scummy later on also pc isuse still happening but will keep playing though as much as i can looking to get a new charger soon.

Here are my reads so far

Town/Temp - Claimed Cop
Leaning Town/Osuka - On day 1 everyone were scum reading Robb except for Spangled and me. If Osuka is scum, Spangled would be the only person I could think of who could be his scum buddy.
Slight Town/Cyrus - His play reminds me of my noob town play. Cyrus says he was going to trust me on my reads and I remember when I was a noob town every time when I town read a player, I would always follow along with them and trust them on their reads. I think Cyrus is town.
Slight Town/Spangled - He town reads Sera who was getting scum read by 3 players and he did not want Sera to get lynched and I find it really weird of a scum player not wanting a certain player to get lynched who has been getting scum read by 3 players or unless scum would be defending its own scum buddy.
Leaning Scum/Wheme - When Phone claimed Cop, it looked like it was a joke but I later started to think he did that so that he could get a reaction from the real Cop, and he's the 4th person to vote Robb with a bad vote reasoning.
Leaning Scum/Sera - Connor was the 3rd person to vote Robb and he votes Robb saying he's up for trying new things and that's not a good reason to scum read someone. Sera subs in for Connor and she made a case on Temp and I remember one of her case on him was because of his flip flopping but I have seen so many town flip flopping before.
Leaning Scum/Red - I didn't understand his vote reason on Robb, I asked if he could explain his vote reason on Robb but he never did, he town reads Phone but I didn't see anything towny from Phone and if Phone really is town, then that looked like Red would be scum who knows Phone is town. Thespio subbed in for Red and he says he thinks Robb and Temp are scum buddies who are fake arguing with each other and that did not look like a scum buddy argument. It looked like Thespio's read on Robb and Temp is done by a scum player.

I need to provide reads as well. Surely it may help piece the town together.

Here's a lead rist.



- 142 is town-AI, the fact cyrus is pretty much a thoughtstream spews him as town-aligned.
eth0s - The effort in your catchup post up to page 18 (1040), which predates my mediumclaim in 525, is something I don't see scum doing. Townlean.
Adorable - Null!townlean, can see a few towny posts in the ISO such as 375 (yeah good scumcase), 486 (good observations), and 1043 (I really like the explanations in the readlist).
Sera Masumi - Hasn't posted since ...
osuka - 1033 is a pretty bad post. We're in A3 because Cyan flipped Doc. This seems to be indicative of osuka's low effort play.
WhemeStar - Don't see much effort here either, ISO looks scummier than osuka.
- It's a good thing for you I got no result on you... however you still seem like scum trying to coast along.

disclaimer: still haven't read anything past page 18

I made some logic errors in my post 1040 obviously I was originally suspicious of my own slot (lol) but it didn't even occur to me until now that I have teacher's original spot. This gives me the benefit of knowing that Robb was wrong about him being scum and adds to my suspicion of robb (or osuka I guess since he apparently subbed that slot). If Robb is a known tunneler, and is going to to have such a wrong read on someone he claims to know well, say he won't back down, and then backs down, that looks really bad to me (esp knowing teacher's role now). So I still perceive the Temporal & Robb as TvS, and I still think that Temporal is more likely scum, but if he isn't then Osuka must be. At least that's what I see so far.

I actually would view that as SvS if I didn't think that Robb would know better than to destroy Temporal's image like that, but I think Robb genuinely expected Temporal to get lynched day one. I would also like to note that I find it even more suspicious now that Robb only has one scum game "come to mind" and it's one he replaced out in and "forgot he was scum". He is banking on newbs not digging any further.

Anyways I'm going to continue my catchup now. To page 19 I go!

Between the players I listed as scum on my read list, I'm leaning more on Wheme more likely to be scum. Sera hasn't been online for 11 days and we know for sure she definitely did not kill Cyan and whoever killed Cyan was more likely online yesterday and day before yesterday.

VOTE: Whemestar

OH YEAH one more thing that I didn't really touch on much last night that Sera brought up: why the hell did Cyrus want to put a lynch through so badly while we were waiting on a replacement? I won't attribute that to newb!cyrus. He should know better by now.

You make an excellent case for scum!Temporal; I'm going to sheep you on this. I've been putting off reading his ISO for a while. I think I was subconsciously clinging to wanting to be the mediator between him and Robb... but I think I'm done with that now.

You do suggest me, Adorable, Cyrus or Cyan as potential candidates for being Temporal's scumpartner because we publicly supported him. I'm inclined to think that scumpartners tend not to do that so as to not draw attention to themselves.

@Temporal, as this I believe is L-1, could you towncase yourself for us please, and then perhaps claim?

Haha he even calls himself a mediator now too, and I agree with this post in every aspect. If the prior events in the game have anything to say about the future events, Temporal is going to start scumreading Spangled for this.

Next post 451 by Sera is amazing as well. Sera and Spangled are town. Definitely.

#453 by Cyan feels very genuine and gives me townpings. I noticed today that he already died and flipped doctor, sadly.. So I guess this doesn't mean much now but he also started coming around to the Scum!Temporal idea and now he is dead so hmm...

hard for me to say how much of this is due to newb!cyrus but why is he still so hesitant to give reads at this point? He makes a good point about "why is Temporal at L-1" and essentially ask why everyone assumes them to be TvT. I even like that is skeptical about my slot. Red is lurking too hard and no one cares except Cyrus at this point it seems. slight townpings from this but still, if either Cyrus or Temporal flip scum then the other should be looked at with extreme scrutiny.

477 Sera points out that cyrus was included in the list of people calling robb vs temporal tvt. The credit I gave cyrus is immediately null and void after having this pointed out to me.

In post 486, Adorable wrote:So Temp is getting scum read for unvoting Robb and then voting him again? In past games I have seen town do this and I don't think scum are capable of this kind of play.

No, you are completely ignoring the WHY of Temporal's actions.

Again, against my own slot but I still like the logic here. The scrutiny on red from sera is lacking, but also the WHOLE TOWN is letting red get away with lurking and not trying to engage him much. Well, other than Spangled I guess.

Spangled in 487 "Adorable, have you read the rest of Sera's scum!Temporal case? It does not just consist of 'unvoting then voting Robb again'; it consists of Temporal flip-flopping all the way through this game, and being super opportunistic at many a point, never really displaying good reasoning or thinking like town should. Please read the case in its' entirety; I feel that it makes lots of good points about Temporal and his ISO." THIS is why it matters, Adorable.

489 Temporal still talking about wolfy this wolfy that. Being a proactive player is NAI. Why does he act like it's a bad thing when it's against him but a good thing when it's against others?

Never is a harsh word. I would say there is probably a good 5% of the time where, when done correctly and at the right time, this can actually win town the game.

Gonna have to agree, rolefishing is scummy.

LMAO at both of these guys. The town is looking at Temporal to claim because he is overly scummy, and both Cyrus and Temporal are acting like the town just wants to know Temporal's role for the hell of it. Victim's mentality, or Temporal has something to hide.

In post 513, Spangled wrote: Temporal if you don't want to claim I'm fine with that. But understand, you've are softing PR by doing this. Even if we don't lynch you, if scum have a brain you'll eat the NK.

Prediction: somewhere down the line this post will have inspired Temporal to claim PR.

In post 524, cyrus62 wrote:stop this it isnt helping town

Cyrus, it is because of your own words, and you blind following of Temporal that things even had to be spelled out for the scum this plainly.

In post 525, TemporalLich wrote:Alright might as well mediumclaim:

I know 300% Phone's "claim" is a fakeclaim

Weird. Phone could have been "claiming" Mafia Rolecop. So how would you 300% know that is false if you aren't scum? hmm

In post 536, Adorable wrote:So that explains why Temp was suspicious of Phone's post on page 2. I have seen alot of town flip flopping and they do this because they try to figure out who is scum and they sometimes get mislynched for flip flopping.

In post 535, Spangled wrote:cyrus, I think you're town.
What I do want to know is - why did you think Temporal was a PR?

the way he plays prs would try to fight a lynch as much as a scum since they know them dieing hurts the town more then a normal town which states they, could be liring i'll give you that but untill a cc is made we have to count it as truth.

also the way they are picking who they think are scum could be a hint on who they going to check at night,

A PR would make some sort of a case for himself and not just jump around on random wagons...

Also I am starting to see why Temporal wasn't lynched even though I don't totally agree with letting him off the hook so easily.

So what did Cyan do to get 10 points earlier? And why is Cyan now dead?

In post 561, Sera Masumi wrote:Like I'm legit kind of annoyed at both you and Temp if you're town, which at this point is not entirely implausible, but you know, it's a game. Gotta let it go.

Don't agree with #556 but I like it; think it comes from a sincere place.

^

#565 cyan says some things I don't agree with but the one I want to comment on "I just wish her (Sera) posts could be a little on the shorter and more concise side of things, but having a lot to say isn't any hurtful for town."
Sera's posts are longer, yes, but imo very concise. She and spangled are providing the best town perspective in the game.

Cyrus' #569 You seem in Temporal telling the truth and I just don't understand it tbh.

In post 574, Spangled wrote: cyrus, I want Temporal's opinions, especially since we're treating him as conf!town.

Not just that. We NEED and DESERVE his opinions now. His behavior is so scummy overall (and not indicative of PR play at all) that I personally would have still pushed for the lynch at this point.

In post 574, Spangled wrote:And what we did only helped scum, in the long run, true,

Eh, I disagree with the "only" bit. If this was a fake claim then a townie should now know that Temp is lying.

I can't help but TR cyrus. He's been a major factor in the town and in my decisions.

Cyan Talon is giving me fresh new insights that I feel come from a good place.

Adorable I can gel with but there is high scum equity (whatever that is) in her ISO.

Robbnva is townlean to me mainly due to his TvT interaction with me

I don't gel with Spangled but he isn't on my scum radar.

RedFlavor has been refusing to effort, not even trying to effort, and is in danger of being pinged rn.

Sera Masumi thinks refusing to effort is NAI (it's anti-town since it hurts the town by denying info and it's easier for scum to not effort), tries to put a Schrödinger's vote on me, multiplies by 1.5 when I push that as scummy to push my claim, and I don't get why Sera scumreads cyrus.

Doubling down on the sketchy (and perhaps baseless) Cyrus TR.
Townlean the not-lurking-lurker Cyan that wants people off of Temporal.
Townlean Adorable, the only person actually contributing to scumhunting that isn't targeting Temporal.
Townlean Robb, the guy that he believes he needs to be townleaning to minimizing the flip-flopping he has already been called out for multiple times (also very convenient he is V/LA and not here to pressure Temporal)
Nullread Spangled, the guy that's being cool enough to him now that he claimed PR, and knows wont come at him in the voting today.
Scumlean Redflavor for good reason tbh
SR Sera because she is pressuring him to say anything useful like Robb was earlier.

In post 586, cyrus62 wrote:VOTE: Sera Masumi because i scum read the way they ran temp to l1 forced a soft and then a hard clam and when they faild to lynch a pr they aim at 3 other towns so i think they are just testing the waters to see who the easiest lynch is.

I thought she needed 10 points for your vote? You said she had 2 points and now she has 10 even though all your reasoning is stuff she did before she only had 2 points? Hmm

In post 588, TemporalLich wrote:cyrus is forced.

I'm not voting Cyan Talon.

Not voting Talon but "no lynch is worse than PR lynch" and really has no reason to like talon so much other than the fact that Talon doesn't want Temporal Lynched today.

In post 599, cyrus62 wrote:i shorted red and he come up as town but hasnt been playing much since they thought the game was on hold for 5 days so i have to wait for red and phone to be replaced before i can short better cyan is town temp is town and i am town i want to say spangled is town adorabke is town rob is town im pretty sure your scum and i cant short red as of now or phone but red was scum hunting and i think hes town

so many holes in your logic...

show us your case why your town then defend your self cuse i can case you as scum if you perfer

haven't you already done that, though? You require a whole 10 points to even vote someone! And you voted her!

i am trying this is only my 2nd game ok. i have neverd playd on tos or any scum sight or foum sights so i am doing the best i can and now i am doing the best i can to

prove that i am town like you and temp

so get off my back and i'll get off yours and maybe we can hunt scum together sound fair.

Wait did you just admit that Sera is playing like town and you're only voting her because she is suspicious of you? That's a BIG red flag.

don't be like Temporal. We need reasons as to why you feel this way because it looks like a big ol' flipflop to me. You were essentially mirroring Temporal's accusations of them rolefishing and now they were just scumhunting?

this readslist is ass-backwards.

to be very clear, lich is not conftown in my mind. The absence of a counter claim does not mean a claim is valid (

for a softclaim). i'm willing to trust this slot d1 to some extent, but I don't discard the possibility of scum here

yep and it is easiest to fake claim d1 because lowest chance of real PR CCing it. Plus now that Cyan is dead I find that post even more sus

Okay so that is through page 30. I'm sorry for the WoTs but I just have to catch up and it is so tedious to do each one in a new post. I just now realized that it will be much harder to quote me now that I didn't do it in one post, though. So I apologize for that. I will try to do the rest with only a couple of quotes per post. Anyway here is my updated readlist accurate up to page 30:

Town: Spangled
Townlean: Sera Masumi, Adorable,
Meh: Osuka
Scumlean: cyrus62, Whemestar
Scum: TemporalLich

Spangled: He has been questioning everyone and steered day 1 away from the somewhat silly tunneling from Robb(Osuka slot), but he also used the information that Robb(osuka) got us to make a good case against Temporal. He has held his composure against people questioning him and continues to blatantly scumhunt and at least 90% of his decisions align with what I would do as town.

Sera Masumi: She came in hot, scumhunting quickly and making controversial statements, including things that others hadn't said yet. I can't give her a full townread yet as I see some of her statements come off a little too LAMIST and tryhardish, but these don't necessarily come off as scummy either

Adorable: Weakest townlean. I still need to check the ISO but overall she appears to be trying to scumhunt. A little lurky at the same time though. I could see her being the real PR if Temporal isn't, but I am not banking on that. I don't fully agree with her logic from what I can remember.

Osuka: I still think that Temporal vs Robb(osuka) was TvS, and though I think Temporal is the scum I will definitely be looking at Osuka if Temporal flips town. I need to see more from Osuka himself. I have played with him once or twice before and think we generally agreed on most things. I want to say we won together at one point but will need to check that. Anyway -- since I haven't seen much from Osuka, most of my opinion on this slot is from Robb, and robb was definitely wrong about my slot's alignment, so I need to read a town!robb and scum!robb game to solidify my thoughts. I want to TL because it looks like he was just gauging reactions but if he is typically a nonstop tunneler in his town games then his play this game is very sus.

Whemestar: The slot was trolling I think? A PR/scumclaim right off the bat that I won't entirely rule out as being true. With the selfvote too. Stuff like this can fly under the radar in newbie games like this but I still find it odd that it wasn't talked about more by someone. I haven't seen much of substance from Wheme yet so this read is the one most likely to change, I think.

cyrus: Idek what to say about this one. My brain physically hurts trying to decide whether his motivations are noobtown or noobscum. Overall it looks scummy to me but I need to ISO him and read his completed game to get a better idea of what I'm dealing with. If my findings strengthen my scum!cyrus case (or even if it doesn't make me believe he is any more town) then I will likely push for his lynch on day 2 as I don't need the confusion, he does nothing to help town, and generally just flipflops like Temporal, but without a claim to make me hesitate on the rope.

Temporal: Oh, Temporal. You are all over the place. Constantly attacking anyone who comes after you and writing it off as wolf behavior. It looks like Robb got under your skin and you failed all but one reaction test so far. Yeah it was stupid that he was trying to say you claimed scum, and you handled that relatively well, but that is NAI and most of your actions seem very scum-motivated. I'm not sure if I can or will lynch you today, but I really want to. I would have lynched you on day one if I could've. At least from what I have read so far.

Omitted: Cyan Talon - I saw his flip already.

In post 784, Spangled wrote:Thing is, I really don't think Sera is scum either.
She has displayed, to me, a lot of great reasoning and town-thinking.

In post 785, TemporalLich wrote:what's your feeling on WhemeStar then?

Again, Temporal doesn't even try to provide any reasoning here for why he thinks Spangled should vote Sera with him. He doesn't even have a good reason for voting Sera. He is hoping for Spangled (who most townread) to whip out one of his great explanations, then Temporal will probably jump on the Wheme wagon.
