1. No it's very clear he meant push the lynch through.
2. Yes that's exactly what I think pj was getting at. That's what "push the lynch through" typically means. The fact you get that is weird.
Side bar how can you possibly speak intelligently about what pj meant? You can't. Speaking for him is weird. Let pj defend his own words
3. What did I do to make you change your read? Went from compromise lynch to top 2 townie.

His point was that what dragon was doing was contradictory, whether dragon is pushing an immediate lynch or not the point is the same. It's pretty clear.

I've already said this, you push on me out of the blue makes no sense coming from scum when no one else suspected me.

what does everyone think of fohex being possibly scum?

I doubt it, his frustration for being called dumb seemed genuine, and in general his thoughts seem original and brings up quite a few good points (though annoyingly keeps tunneling on creature).

I'm not sure how this is alignment indicative? It's not as if being called dumb is suddenly less annoying if you're scum.

Yeah but dwlee said something about him being either dumb or scum, so it probably wouldn't upset scum

That is not what I said. I said that the post wasnt indicative of scum. I got "really mad" one time as scum because some people called me dumb or bad or something. It isnt AI

Yes, my post was so garbage because I RLed a lurker in my first post of the game while you were all shitposting for 4 pages. *claps slowly*

He was mad before Dwlee made that comment.

Noobs usually have a hard time faking emotion like that.

The thing you quoted derek is just another example.

You guys could be right but I doubt it

Why are you assuming that scum would have to fake that emotion?

Yea, I fricken am. And this is a newbie game. I specifically went to the newbie queue section. -_-

Dwlee's first game on site, playing as scum. Wow look at this GENUINE emotion oh boi so town

Ok I see what you mean.

The part that Derek quoted would have to be faked, though, because derek was calling him scum for something. It also makes me believe he actually thought the first few pages were shitposting.

PEdit: I don't think that emotion is as convincing, but that's besides the point. You asked for my opinion, and I gave it. By no means is f-oh-ex town for sure

I think you were scum trying to push through an Eggman lynch. I think if you were Town you would have shown at least concern about Eggman being so close to L-1 (especially since you explained that there a quick hammer vote in your first and only mafia game here); but because it was in your interests you chose to ignore it. You instead joining the crowd criticizing Eggman's "crumb." while criticizing Eggman for breadcrumbing such a useless role, you effectively did the same with your mechanically useless Neighbor role two minutes later. You have since claimed it was not to be a breadcrumb, but there is no question that had you been forced to claim later in the game you have doubled-back to that post to support it.

The two contradictions were how I treated an L-1 in my last game versus how I treated it in this game and how I "crumbed" neighbor after not liking how Eggman crumbed. I showed why both of these were not the case, yet you still want to claim that me being "contradictory" is the problem. I don't get your line of thinking if I've proven all of your and pj's points to be incorrect. You're only response has been along the lines of "even having the conversation is scummy, so disregard that we were wrong about everything we said. he's still scum anyway". It's such a bad vote and push I'm tempted to vote you back just for your complete absence of actual reasoning

So if I have a group of players I think are town, which leaves a group of possible scum, of that group I'm not allowed to have a strongest scumread?
Secondly, I already explained that I was afraid of a hammer last game and that was the sole reason I unvoted in that situation. Are you all dumb enough to accidentally hammer and think you could unvote? I trusted you guys a bit more, which I've already said.
Thirdly, forced to claim it? why the hell would i need to claim neighbor? We already all agreed that it is in no way AI because both scum and town can be neighbors. Not only this, but I told you that it was just to get Robb's attention and it worked because he finally checked the neighbor thread and responded that night. So it was not a crumb for a claim
And no, I was not eager for a quickhammer. I think VT is a worthless crumb and I still think Creature seeing a crumb that even eggman admitted wasn't there is faulty reasoning

MM4 is somewhat of a townlean to me but that might stem from the fact I strongly scumread Creature and I don't see them as a duo. Compare and contrats with my scumread of crab who is mutually exclusive to be scum with Creature.


As per myself, I won't try to be the judge of my own case, but I find it pretty ridiculous that the most discussed post is my emotional reaction which wouldn't differ much between town!me and scum!me, judging by my experience in chat mafia.


petroleum's posts amount to catchup and then ridiculous tunnelling on Robbnva. To what end, to shift the topic or to undermine Robb's credibility? I fail to see how anyone would read Robb as scum. Post 1000 is pure tunnelling and nonsense. His "arguments" against Dragon are equally bad and I like the Dragon response under what little pressure petroleum by himself applied. Petroleum's a scumlean so far, however I want to be careful with that - when I would sub in, I'd always have trouble with getting my feet in the game and make terrible reads at first and get hung up on something that seemed valuable to me.
Not that this excuses terrible tunnelling and failed meta context.

Inifinity's first post, which is a list of reads, is not really AI. I don't like the reads there at all but I guess it's worth something that he listed there, we can compare that with what he writes later. Unlike petroleum, Inifinity is hyperactive, not sure what to make of that... this is probably NAI too since it could mean either way.

Post 696 sheeps Creature's metaread on atm. The general consensus was that this meta was trash IIRC.

Post 697 is a garbage nitpicking and trying to find scummy things where there are none.

Post 721 is gibberish. Weird logic you don't agree with to form conclusions that make sense? Just from that sounds like a sound logic which you have problem understanding for some reason.

In post 725, Infinity 324 wrote:Do you think scum bus their buddy and then back off when they get ~4 votes?

What you're saying kinda makes sense, but not if creature is scum. I don't even think robb is giving himself an out to not vote creature closer to deadline.

IIRC Creature was the first person to vote for Eggman. You say that scum wouldn't bus like that and back off. Putting one vote on your partner is not bussing. And yes, scum would probably back off when the unexpected wagon forms. While I'm not sold on the fact that this is what happened, what you wrote to justify townread on Creature makes little to no sense.

Wait, what? Make him crack? Wasn't he your strongest townread?

In post 735, Infinity 324 wrote:It's either town or scum that is quite good at faking emotion

Emotions are pretty NAI in forum mafia, at least to me. They're harder to fake in chat when you have ~5-10 seconds to respond but here? Given that most of the emotion spectrum aren't AI, it's very easy to fake it just enough to get there.

Contradictions are not the same as evolution of reads/opinions...

Inifinity's read on Dragon shifts like a sinus function.

Post 918 is horrible. He suddenly pops in with Derek. He townread crab quite evidently and now wants to lynch him because he's a "weaker town read"? Lynching a weaker town read sounds like something you'd do by process of elimination if you townread literally everyone... what.

About the Creature "lie" - even if creature was somehow confirmed scum it still probably wasn't a lie. There is no scum motivation in lying about something where you can so easily be caught.

So you're saying that because Creature blatantly lied, it's a towntell? That's a shitty WIFOM at best and a pathetic buddying at worst.

And why the shift on Robb, trying to butter up to him?

So, based on what I've seen of other people's opinions, it seems that you consider Creature to mutually be scum with either Crabman or me.
VOTE: Crabman,
I propose lynching Crabman today, seeing how he flips, and if he's town lynch me or Creature tomorrow.
Because I don't get the cases on Infinity and Dragon, which also (to me) seem a little OMGUS-y (didn't Infinity call out DotW in the first place?)

I never said that you being contradictory was the problem, I said that the contradiction about the crumb was the thing petroleum was pointing out. Stop pretending like I don't have any actual reasons. You overexplained yourself by stating thing that weren't necessary to respond to the point petroleum was trying to make, and you gave a explanation for the unvote of eggman that doesn't look genuine. You seriously didn't consider eggman's crumb as coming from town until creature and I pointed it out? Just sounds like a reason to jump off the eggman wagon as it died down. After that, you made a huge deal about me calling your post scummy and made assumptions about why I did that, which reads as scum desperate to defend themselves.
